Narrated 'Abdullah
bin Mas'ud:
From Sad bin Mu'adh:
Sad bin Mu'adh was an intimate friend of Umaiya
bin Khalaf and whenever Umaiya passed through
Medina, he used to stay with Sad, and whenever Sad
went to Mecca, he used to stay with Umaiya. When
Allah's Apostle 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
Sad." Abu Jahl addressed Sad 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." Sad, 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
Sad do not raise your voice before Abu-l-Hakam,
the chief of the people of the Valley (of
Mecca)." Sad said, "O Umaiya, stop that!
By Allah, I have heard Allah's Apostle predicting
that the Muslim will kill you." Umaiya asked,
"In Mecca?" Sad 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 Sad 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.

Malik:
I never failed to
join Allah's Apostle in any of his Ghazawat except

part in the Ghazwa of Badr, but none who failed to

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) .

Prophet while the Prophet 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 getting bright with happiness, for
that saying delighted him.

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

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

a horse and let him to the care of some men.

On the day of Badr,

the Prophet 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-and-so! 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 Apostle! You are
speaking to bodies that have no souls!"
Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand
Muhammad's soul is, you do not hear, what I say
better than they do." (Qatada said,

them hear him, to reprimand them and slight them
and take revenge over them and caused them to feel
remorseful and regretful.")

sins while his family cry over him then." She
added, "And this is similar to the statement
of Allah's Apostle 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

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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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 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 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."

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).
Volume
5, Book 59, Number 325:
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
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 public 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 Rakat 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
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.

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

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 noticed my state and asked, "What
is the matter?" I said, "O Allah's
Apostle, 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 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 started blaming
Hamza for what he had done. Hamza was drunk and
his eyes were red. He looked at the Prophet 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 understood that Hamza was drunk,
he retreated, walking backwards went out and we
left with him.

Aus Al-Hadathan An-Nasri:
That once 'Umar bin

with him, his gatekeeper, Yarfa came and said,
"Will you admit 'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman bin
Auf, AzZubair and Sad (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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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 Apostle . But by
Allah, the Prophet 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 Apostle 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 Apostle kept
on acting like that during all his life, Then he
died, and Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of
Allah's Apostle.' So he (i.e. Abu Bakr) took
charge of this property and disposed of it in the
same manner as Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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 Apostle
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 saying, 'The wives of the
Prophet 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 mentioned that regarding
himself. He added: 'The family of Muhammad can
take their sustenance from this property. So the
wives of the Prophet 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 ."

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 Kab that
Muhammad would return to him. He came to Kab at
night along with Kab's foster brother, Abu Na'ila.
Kab 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?" Kab
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." Kab 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 and informed
him. (Abu Rafi) was killed after Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf."

Narrated Al-Bara
bin Azib:
Allah's Apostle
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 Apostle 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 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."
Volume
5, Book 59, Number 372:
Narrated Al-Bara:
Allah's Apostle
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 Apostle 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 to whom I conveyed the
good news."

I am (now) looking at it from this place of mine.

other for it." That was the last look which I
cast on Allah's Apostle.

We faced the pagans
on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the
Prophet placed a batch of archers (at a special
place) and appointed 'Abdullah (bin Jubair) as
their commander and said, "Do not leave this
place; and 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 heel 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 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 said, "Do not
answer him." Abu Sufyan said, "Is the
son of Abu Quhafa present among the people?"
The Prophet said, "Do not answer him."
Abd 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 Safyan 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 said
(to his companions), "Reply to him."
They said, "What may we say?" The
Prophet 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

(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

We migrated in the

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 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.

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

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 said,

which clears one from one's sins as the fire
expels the impurities of silver."

"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 Apostle! 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 said, "You have
done the right thing."

came, I went to Allah's Apostle 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 said, "Go and pile
every kind of dates apart." I did so and
called him (i.e. the Prophet ). 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 had been sitting, it seemed
as if a single date had not been taken away
thereof."

Abu Talha." The Prophet 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

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 Apostle and she was ill,
so the Prophet 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 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."

up to him, and when we were at a short distance
from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in

Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah

looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah!
But I know that 'Adi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman

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

replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin 'Adi
bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my master,

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

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 Apostle, I was told that the Prophet did
not harm the messengers; So I too went out with
them till I reached Allah's Apostle. 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 Apostle 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."

from a shield. When Fatima saw that the water
aggravated the bleeding, she took a piece of a

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

Volume

Narrated Abu
Huraira:
The Prophet 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 Rakat
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.

Anas said,
"The Prophet 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 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."

(The tribes of) Ril,
Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Lihyan asked Allah's
Apostle 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 , 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
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 ) 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 Apostle ?" 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 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 'Aisha:
Abu Bakr asked the
Prophet to allow him to go out (of Mecca) when he
was greatly annoyed (by the infidels). But the
Prophet said to him, ''Wait." Abu Bakr said,
O Allah's Apostle! Do you hope that you will be
allowed (to migrate)?" Allah's Apostle
replied, "I hope so." So Abu Bakr waited
for him till one day Allah's Apostle 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 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 said, "You will accompany me."
Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Apostle! 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 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 Al-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 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 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).

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 Apostle said
Al-Qunut after Bowing for one month. The Prophet
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 Apostle .
But those who had concluded the treaty with
Allah's Apostle violated the treaty (and martyred

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

went to the Prophet 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 took the
spade and struck the big solid rock and it became
like sand. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allow
me to go home." (When the Prophet allowed me)
I said to my wife, "I saw the Prophet 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 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 Apostle, you
and one or two men along with you (for the
food)." The Prophet 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 ask
you (how much food you had)?" I replied,
"Yes." Then the Prophet said,
"Enter and do not throng." The Prophet
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 said (to my wife), "Eat and present
to others as the people are struck with
hunger."

hunger. So I returned to my wife and said,
"Have you got anything (to eat), for I have
seen Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle . 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 Apostle! 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 raised his voice and said,
"O people of Trench ! Jabir has prepared a
meal so let us go." Allah's Apostle 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
Apostle 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 of what you said." Then she
brought out to him (i.e. the Prophet 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 one-thousand (who
took their meals), and by Allah they all ate, and

saying, "By Allah, without Allah we would not

please send Sakina (i.e. calmness) upon us, and
make our feet firm if we meet the enemy as the

intended affliction, (i.e. want to frighten us and
fight against us then we would not flee but
withstand them)." The Prophet used to raise
his voice saying, "Abaina! Abaina! (i.e.
would not, we would not)."

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

Hafsa did not leave Ibn 'Umar till we went to

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

Sad)." These (i.e. Banu Quraiza) have agreed

an arrow). The man was Hibban bin Qais from (the
tribe of) Bani Mais bin 'Amir bin Lu'ai who shot
an arrow at Sad's medial arm vein (or main artery
of the arm). The Prophet pitched a tent (for Sad)
in the Mosque so that he might be near to the
Prophet 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
said, "Where?" Gabriel pointed towards
Bani Quraiza. So Allah's Apostle went to them
(i.e. Banu Quraiza) (i.e. besieged them). They
then surrendered to the Prophet's judgment but he
directed them to Sad to give his verdict
concerning them. Sad 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, "Sad
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 Sad's
wound. Sad then died because of that."

That he fought in a
Ghazwa towards Najd along with Allah's Apostle and
when Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle dismounted and the
people dispersed amongst the thorny trees, seeking
the shade of the trees. Allah's Apostle took
shelter under a Samura tree and hung his sword on
it. We slept for a while when Allah's Apostle
suddenly called us, and we went to him, to find a
bedouin sitting with him. Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle 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 ), 'Are you afraid of me?' The Prophet
said, 'No.' He said, 'Who can save you from me?'
The Prophet said, Allah.' The companions of the
Prophet threatened him, then the Iqama for the
prayer was announced and the Prophet offered a two
Rakat 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 offered four
Rakat but the people offered two Rakat only."
(The sub-narrator) Abu Bishr added, "The man
was Ghaurath bin Al-Harith and the battle was
waged against Muharib Khasafa." Jabir added,

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 Apostle 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."

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 Apostle called us and
we came and found a bedouin sitting in front of
him. The Prophet 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,

Volume

Narrated 'Aisha:
Whenever Allah's
Apostle intended to go on a journey, he used to
draw lots amongst his wives, and Allah's Apostle
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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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 lillahi 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 Apostle as I used to
receive when I got sick. (But now) Allah's Apostle
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 Apostle 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 Apostle
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 Apostle!) She is your wife and
we do not know anything except good about her.'
'Ali bin Abi Talib said, 'O Allah's Apostle! 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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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.' Sad bin Mu'adh the brother of Banu 'Abd
Al-Ashhal got up and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! 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 Sad
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 Sad (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 Sad (bin Mu'adh) got
up and said to Sad 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 Apostle was standing on the pulpit.
Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle 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-and-so
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.'
When Allah's
Apostle 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 Apostle on my behalf concerning what he
has said.' My father said, 'By Allah, I do not
know what to say to Allah's Apostle .' Then I said
to my mother, 'Reply to Allah's Apostle on my
behalf concerning what he has said.' She said, 'By
Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's
Apostle.' In spite of the fact that I was a young
girl and had a little knowledge of Quran, 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 Apostle might
have a dream in which Allah would prove my
innocence. But, by Allah, before Allah's Apostle
left his seat and before any of the household
left, the Divine inspiration came to Allah's
Apostle.
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 Apostle 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 Apostle). 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 Quranic 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 Apostle 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 Apostle! 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 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."

talked of the story (of the Slander)." Um
Ruman said, "What is that?" She said,

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 came and asked, "What is wrong with
this (lady)?" Um Ruman replied, "O
Allah's Apostle! 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 then went out saying nothing.

had the greater share therein, his will be a

allegiance which we gave on the day of Al-Hudaibiya

were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet
Al-Hudaibiya was a well, the water of which we
used up leaving not a single drop of water in it.
When the Prophet was informed of that, he came and
sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of

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 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

Allah's Apostle in the 'Umra of Al-Hudaibiya. They
said, "When Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle 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 Apostle except on that
condition, Allah's Apostle concluded it.
Accordingly, Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle and she
was an adult at that time. Her relatives came,
asking Allah's Apostle to return her to them, and
in this connection, Allah revealed the Verses
dealing with the believing (women). Aisha said,
"Allah's Apostle 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)

and the Ka'ba, the Prophet 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 Kaba, I will perform the Tawaf, and if
something (i.e. obstacles) intervene between me
and the Kaba, then I will do what Allah's Apostle
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 Apostle
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 Apostle, 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 on the day of Al-Hudaibiya spreading in
the shade of the trees. Suddenly the people
surrounded the Prophet 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.'

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."

Medina unsuitable for them. So Allah's Apostle
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 ). The Prophet gave his orders

Apostle 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
Apostle 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 she-camels
(of the Prophet), I also snatched thirty Burda
(i.e. garments) from them. Then the Prophet 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 Apostle seated
me behind him on his she-camel till we entered
Medina.

of Khaibar, the Prophet offered the Asr prayer and
then asked the people to collect the journey food.
Nothing was brought but Sawiq which the Prophet
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

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 on that, asked, "Who is
that (camel) driver (reciting poetry)?" The
people said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Akwa'."
Then the Prophet
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
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
said, "Throw away the meat and break the
pots!" Some man said, "O Allah's
Apostle! 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 Apostle 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
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."

Allah's Apostle
(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 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 Apostle
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 Apostle and said, "I testify that you
are the Apostle of Allah." The Prophet 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 Apostle 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

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 said, "O

none but a believer will enter Paradise and that

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 . 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 Apostle " On that Asma' became angry
and said, "No, by Allah, while you were with
Allah's Apostle 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
Apostle . By Allah, I will neither eat any food
nor drink anything till I inform Allah's Apostle
of all that you have said. There we were harmed
and frightened. I will mention this to the Prophet
and will not tell a lie or curtail your saying or
add something to it." So when the Prophet
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
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
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 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.'

Apostle 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
Apostle 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 Apostle said,
"This is a strap, or these are two straps of
Fire."

Narrated 'Aisha:
Fatima the daughter
of the Prophet sent someone to Abu Bakr (when he
was a caliph), asking for her inheritance of what
Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle 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 Apostle and will leave it as it
was during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, and
will dispose of it as Allah's Apostle 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 Apostle ."
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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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).

When the Prophet
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 Apostle 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 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 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 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
said, "She is the daughter of my foster
brother."

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

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 from

Tawaf, was that he pitied them.

Apostle! The women of Ja'far are crying.'
Thereupon the Prophet told him to forbid them to

"I forbade them but they did not listen to
me." The Prophet 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 Apostle 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 Apostle . 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 Apostle
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 Apostle said to his
companions." As regards him, he (i.e. Hatib)
has told you the truth." 'Umar said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop off the head of
this hypocrite!" The Prophet 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 Quran) which has come to
you ....(to the end of Verse)....(And whosoever 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 Apostle , 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 Apostle saw them and took them over,
caught them and brought them to Allah's Apostle.
Abu Sufyan embraced Islam.
When the Prophet
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 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) Sad 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 Sad bin Ubada,
the one holding the flag." Sad 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 Apostle and
his companions and the flag of the Prophet was
carried by Az-Zubair bin Al Awwam. When Allah's
Apostle passed by Abu Sufyan, the latter said, (to
the Prophet), "Do you know what Sad bin 'Ubada
said?" The Prophet said, "What did he
say?" Abu Sufyan said, "He said
so-and-so." The Prophet said, "Sad 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 Apostle 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 Apostle order you to fix
the flag here?' " Allah's Apostle ordered
Khalid bin Al-Walid to enter Mecca from its upper
part from Ka'da while the Prophet 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.

divination in their hands, were carried out. The
Prophet 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 entered the

Volume

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 Apostle 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."

Shuraih:
Al-Adawi that he
said to 'Amr bin Said while the latter was sending
troops in batches to Mecca, "O chief! Allow
me to tell you a statement which Allah's Apostle
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."
