حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ أُصِيبَ حَارِثَةُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَهْوَ غُلاَمٌ، فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَدْ عَرَفْتَ مَنْزِلَةَ حَارِثَةَ مِنِّي، فَإِنْ يَكُنْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَصْبِرْ وَأَحْتَسِبْ، وَإِنْ تَكُ الأُخْرَى تَرَى مَا أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ
" وَيْحَكِ أَوَهَبِلْتِ أَوَجَنَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ هِيَ إِنَّهَا جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَإِنَّهُ فِي جَنَّةِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ ".
Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother
came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in
Paradise, I shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not so, then you shall see
what I do?" He said, "May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al-
Firdaus."

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

Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi) - كتاب المغازى
Narrated Al-Bara' bin `Azib:
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الرُّمَاةِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، فَأَصَابُوا مِنَّا سَبْعِينَ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَصْحَابُهُ أَصَابُوا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَرْبَعِينَ وَمِائَةً سَبْعِينَ أَسِيرًا وَسَبْعِينَ قَتِيلاً. قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَوْمٌ بِيَوْمِ بَدْرٍ، وَالْحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ.
On the day of Uhud the Prophet (ﷺ) appointed `Abdullah bin Jubair as chief of the archers, and seventy
among us were injured and martyred. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet (ﷺ) and his
companions had inflicted 140 casualties on the pagans, 70 were taken prisoners, and 70 were killed.
Abu Sufyan said, "This is a day of (revenge) for the day of Badr and the issue of war is undecided ."
That the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The good is what Allah gave us later on (after Uhud), and the reward of
truthfulness is what Allah gave us after the day (of the battle) of Badr."
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).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent out ten spies under the command of `Asim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-father
of `Asim bin `Umar Al-Khattab. When they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between 'Usfan and
Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they sent
about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they found
the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said, "These dates
are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)," and went on tracing the Muslims' footsteps. When `Asim and his
companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy encircled them
and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that we will not
kill anyone of you." `Asim bin Thabit said, "O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be
under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us." So the archers threw their
arrows at them and martyred `Asim. Three of them came down and surrendered to them, accepting
their promise and covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another man. When the
archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the arrow bows and tied their captives with them.
The third man said, "This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with you for I follow
the example of these." He meant the martyred companions. The archers dragged him and struggled
with him (till they martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were taken away by them
and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event of the Badr battle.
The sons of Al-Harit bin `Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a person who had killed (their
father) Al-Hari bin `Amr on the day (of the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by them till
they decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed from a daughter of Al-Harith, a
razor for shaving his pubic hair, and she lent it to him. By chance, while she was inattentive, a little
son of hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated him on his thigh while the
razor was in his hand. She was so much terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and said, "Are you
afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing." Later on (while narrating the story) she
said, "By Allah, I had never seen a better captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating
from a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and (at that time) there was
no fruit in Mecca." She used to say," It was food Allah had provided Khubaib with."
When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them.
"Allow me to offer a two-rak`at prayer." They allowed him and he prayed two rak`at and then said,
"By Allah! Had I not been afraid that you would think I was worried, I would have prayed more."
Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, "O Allah! Count them and kill them one by one, and do not
leave anyone of them"' Then he recited: "As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I
receive my death for Allah's Sake, for this is for the Cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless the
cut limbs of my body." Then Abu Sarva, 'Ubqa bin Al-Harith went up to him and killed him. It was
Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity (before he is
executed). The Prophet (ﷺ) told his companions of what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same
day they were martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of `Asim bin Thabit's death, sent some
messengers to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for he had
previously killed one of their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm of wasps to
protect the dead body of `Asim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not cut
anything from his body.

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

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) said on the day (of the battle) of Badr, "This is Gabriel holding the head of his horse and
equipped with arms for the battle.
Abu Sa`id bin Malik Al-Khudri returned from a journey and his family offered him some meat of
sacrifices offered at `Id ul Adha. On that he said, "I will not eat it before asking (whether it is
allowed)." He went to his maternal brother, Qatada bin N i 'man, who was one of the Badr warriors,
and asked him about it. Qatada said, "After your departure, an order was issued by the Prophet (ﷺ)
cancelling the prohibition of eating sacrifices after three days."
Az-Zubair said, "I met Ubaida bin Sa`id bin Al-As on the day (of the battle) of Badr and he was
covered with armor; so much that only his eyes were visible. He was surnamed Abu Dhat-al-Karish.
He said (proudly), 'I am Abu-al-Karish.' I attacked him with the spear and pierced his eye and he died.
I put my foot over his body to pull (that spear) out, but even then I had to use a great force to take it
out as its both ends were bent." `Urwa said, "Later on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Az-Zubair for the spear
and he gave it to him. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died, Az-Zubair took it back. After that Abu Bakr
demanded it and he gave it to him, and when Abu Bakr died, Az-Zubair took it back. `Umar then
demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When `Umar died, Az-Zubair took it back, and then
`Uthman demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When `Uthman was martyred, the spear
remained with `Ali's offspring. Then `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair demanded it back, and it remained with
him till he was martyred.

Apostle adopted Salim as his son and married his niece Hind bint Al-Wahd bin `Utba to him' and
Salim was a freed slave of an Ansari woman. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also adopted Zaid as his son. In the Prelslamic
period of ignorance the custom was that, if one adopted a son, the people would call him by

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ،. حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَانَ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ
" لاَ تَدْخُلُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ صُورَةٌ ". يُرِيدُ التَّمَاثِيلَ الَّتِي فِيهَا الأَرْوَاحُ.
Abu Talha, a companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one of those who fought at Badr together with Allah's
Apostle told me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. "Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a
picture" He meant the images of creatures that have souls.

Narrated `Ali:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ،. حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، أَنَّ حُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ـ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَالَ كَانَتْ لِي شَارِفٌ مِنْ نَصِيبِي مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَعْطَانِي مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ، فَلَمَّا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبْتَنِيَ بِفَاطِمَةَ ـ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ـ بِنْتِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاعَدْتُ رَجُلاً صَوَّاغًا فِي بَنِي قَيْنُقَاعَ أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ مَعِي فَنَأْتِيَ بِإِذْخِرٍ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَبِيعَهُ مِنَ الصَّوَّاغِينَ فَنَسْتَعِينَ بِهِ فِي وَلِيمَةِ عُرْسِي، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَجْمَعُ لِشَارِفَىَّ مِنَ الأَقْتَابِ وَالْغَرَائِرِ وَالْحِبَالِ، وَشَارِفَاىَ مُنَاخَانِ إِلَى جَنْبِ حُجْرَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، حَتَّى جَمَعْتُ مَا جَمَعْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِشَارِفَىَّ قَدْ أُجِبَّتْ أَسْنِمَتُهَا، وَبُقِرَتْ خَوَاصِرُهُمَا، وَأُخِذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا، فَلَمْ أَمْلِكْ عَيْنَىَّ حِينَ رَأَيْتُ الْمَنْظَرَ، قُلْتُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا قَالُوا فَعَلَهُ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَهْوَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ، فِي شَرْبٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، عِنْدَهُ قَيْنَةٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَتْ فِي غِنَائِهَا أَلاَ يَا حَمْزَ لِلشُّرُفِ النِّوَاءِ، فَوَثَبَ حَمْزَةُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ، فَأَجَبَّ أَسْنِمَتَهُمَا، وَبَقَرَ خَوَاصِرَهُمَا، وَأَخَذَ مِنْ أَكْبَادِهِمَا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعِنْدَهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، وَعَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الَّذِي لَقِيتُ فَقَالَ

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

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حِينَ تَأَيَّمَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِنْتُ عُمَرَ مِنْ خُنَيْسِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ السَّهْمِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا تُوُفِّيَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَقِيتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ. قَالَ سَأَنْظُرُ فِي أَمْرِي. فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ، فَقَالَ قَدْ بَدَا لِي أَنْ لاَ أَتَزَوَّجَ يَوْمِي هَذَا. قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْكَحْتُكَ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتَ عُمَرَ. فَصَمَتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَىَّ شَيْئًا، فَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْجَدَ مِنِّي عَلَى عُثْمَانَ، فَلَبِثْتُ لَيَالِيَ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَنْكَحْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ، فَلَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَ عَلَىَّ حِينَ عَرَضْتَ عَلَىَّ حَفْصَةَ فَلَمْ أَرْجِعْ إِلَيْكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا عَرَضْتَ إِلاَّ أَنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ ذَكَرَهَا، فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لأُفْشِيَ سِرَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَلَوْ تَرَكَهَا لَقَبِلْتُهَا.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "When (my daughter) Hafsa bint `Umar lost her husband Khunais bin
Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and had fought in the battle of
Badr and had died in Medina, I met `Uthman bin `Affan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa
saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint `Umar to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.' I
waited for a few days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.'
Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint `Umar.' He kept quiet and did
not give me any reply and I became more angry with him than I was with `Uthman . Some days later,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met me
and said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no
reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except
that I learnt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose the
secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted her."
I heard `Urwa bin Az-Zubair talking to `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz during the latter's Governorship (at
Medina), he said, "Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba delayed the `Asr prayer when he was the ruler of Al-Kufa.
On that, Abu Mas`ud. `Uqba bin `Amr Al-Ansari, the grand-father of Zaid bin Hasan, who was one of
the Badr warriors, came in and said, (to Al-Mughira), 'You know that Gabriel came down and offered
the prayer and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed five prescribed prayers, and Gabriel said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "I
have been ordered to do so (i.e. offer these five prayers at these fixed stated hours of the day).

I asked Al-Husain bin Muhammad who was one of the sons of Salim and one of the nobles amongst
them, about the narration of Mahmud bin Ar-Rabi 'from `Itban bin Malik, and he confirmed it.
who was one of the leaders of Bani `Adi and his father participated in the battle of Badr in the
company of the Prophet. `Umar appointed Qudama bin Maz'un as ruler of Bahrain, Qudama was one
of the warriors of the battle of Badr and was the maternal uncle of `Abdullah bin `Umar and Hafsa.
Salim bin `Abdullah told me that Rafi` bin Khadij told `Abdullah bin `Umar that his two paternal
uncles who had fought in the battle of Badr informed him that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the renting of
fields. I said to Salim, "Do you rent your land?" He said, "Yes, for Rafi` is mistaken."

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

Ibn `Umar used to kill all kinds of snakes until Abu Lubaba Al-Badri told him that the Prophet (ﷺ) had
forbidden the killing of harmless snakes living in houses and called Jinan. So Ibn `Umar gave up
killing them.
Some men of the Ansar requested Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to allow them to see him, they said, "Allow us to
forgive the ransom of our sister's son, `Abbas." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, you will not leave a
single Dirham of it!"

That Al-Miqdad bin `Amr Al-Kindi, who was an ally of Bani Zuhra and one of those who fought the
battle of Badr together with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told him that he said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "Suppose I met
one of the infidels and we fought, and he struck one of my hands with his sword and cut it off and
then took refuge in a tree and said, "I surrender to Allah (i.e. I have become a Muslim),' could I kill
him, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), after he had said this?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You should not kill him." Al-
Miqdad said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! But he had cut off one of my two hands, and then he had uttered
those words?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "You should not kill him, for if you kill him, he would be in
your position where you had been before killing him, and you would be in his position where he had
been before uttering those words."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said on the day of Badr, "Who will go and see what has happened to Abu Jahl?" Ibn
Mas`ud went and saw him struck by the two sons of 'Afra and was on the point of death . Ibn Mas`ud
said, "Are you Abu Jahl?" Abu Jahl replied, "Can there be a man more superior to the one whom you
have killed (or as Sulaiman said, or his own folk have killed.)?" Abu Jahl added, "Would that I had
been killed by other than a mere farmer. "

وَعَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ فِي أُسَارَى بَدْرٍ
" لَوْ كَانَ الْمُطْعِمُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ حَيًّا ثُمَّ كَلَّمَنِي فِي هَؤُلاَءِ النَّتْنَى لَتَرَكْتُهُمْ لَهُ ".
وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَقَعَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ الأُولَى ـ يَعْنِي مَقْتَلَ عُثْمَانَ ـ فَلَمْ تُبْقِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ بَدْرٍ أَحَدًا، ثُمَّ وَقَعَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ ـ يَعْنِي الْحَرَّةَ ـ فَلَمْ تُبْقِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَحَدًا ثُمَّ وَقَعَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ فَلَمْ تَرْتَفِعْ وَلِلنَّاسِ طَبَاخٌ.
"Were Al-Mutim bin Adi alive and interceded with me for these filthy people, I would definitely forgive them for his sake."
Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:
When the first civil strife (in Islam)
took place because of the murder of 'Uthman, it left none of the Badr
warriors alive. When the second civil strife, that is the battle of
Al-Harra, took place, it left none of the Hudaibiya treaty companions
alive. Then the third civil strife took place and it did not subside
till it had exhausted all the strength of the people.

Narrated Yunus bin Yazid:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَعَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ، وَعُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ، عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كُلٌّ ـ حَدَّثَنِي طَائِفَةً مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ ـ قَالَتْ فَأَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فَعَثَرَتْ أُمُّ مِسْطَحٍ فِي مِرْطِهَا فَقَالَتْ تَعِسَ مِسْطَحٌ. فَقُلْتُ بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتِ، تَسُبِّينَ رَجُلاً شَهِدَ بَدْرًا فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ الإِفْكِ.
I heard Az-Zuhri saying, "I heard `Urwa bin Az-Zubair. Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab, 'Alqama bin Waqqas
and 'Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah each narrating part of the narrative concerning `Aisha the wife of the
Prophet. `Aisha said: When I and Um Mistah were returning, Um Mistah stumbled by treading on the
end of her robe, and on that she said, 'May Mistah be ruined.' I said, 'You have said a bad thing, you
curse a man who took part in the battle of Badr!." Az-Zuhri then narrated the narration of the Lie
(forged against `Aisha).

Narrated Ibn Shihab:
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ هَذِهِ مَغَازِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ يُلْقِيهِمْ " هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا ". قَالَ مُوسَى قَالَ نَافِعٌ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُنَادِي نَاسًا أَمْوَاتًا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا قُلْتُ مِنْهُمْ ". قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَجَمِيعُ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِمَّنْ ضُرِبَ لَهُ بِسَهْمِهِ أَحَدٌ وَثَمَانُونَ رَجُلاً، وَكَانَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يَقُولُ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ قُسِمَتْ سُهْمَانُهُمْ فَكَانُوا مِائَةً، وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ.
These were the battles of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (which he fought), and while mentioning (the Badr battle) he
said, "While the corpses of the pagans were being thrown into the well, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to them),
'Have you found what your Lord promised true?" `Abdullah said, "Some of the Prophet's companions
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You are addressing dead people.' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, 'You do not hear
what I am saying, better than they.' The total number of Muslim fighters from Quraish who fought in
the battle of Badr and were given their share of the booty, were 81 men." Az-Zubair said, "When their
shares were distributed, their number was 101 men. But Allah knows it better."
Bani An-Nadir and Bani Quraiza fought (against the Prophet (ﷺ) violating their peace treaty), so the
Prophet exiled Bani An-Nadir and allowed Bani Quraiza to remain at their places (in Medina) taking
nothing from them till they fought against the Prophet (ﷺ) again) . He then killed their men and distributed
their women, children and property among the Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he
granted them safety, and they embraced Islam. He exiled all the Jews from Medina. They were the
Jews of Bani Qainuqa', the tribe of `Abdullah bin Salam and the Jews of Bani Haritha and all the other
Jews of Medina.

Some people used to allot some date palm trees to the Prophet (ﷺ) as gift till he conquered Banu Quraiza
and Bani An-Nadir, where upon he started returning their date palms to them.

Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi) - كتاب المغازى
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ حَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَخْلَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَقَطَعَ وَهْىَ الْبُوَيْرَةُ فَنَزَلَتْ {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ}
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had the date-palm trees of Bani Al-Nadir burnt and cut down at a place called Al-
Buwaira. Allah then revealed: "What you cut down of the date-palm trees (of the enemy) Or you left
them standing on their stems. It was by Allah's Permission." (59.5)
The Prophet (ﷺ) burnt the date-palm trees of Bani An-Nadir. Hassan bin Thabit said the following poetic
Verses about this event:-- "the terrible burning of Al-Buwaira Has been received indifferently By the
nobles of Bani Luai (The masters and nobles of Quraish)." Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith (i.e. the
Prophet's cousin who was still a disbeliever then) replied to Hassan, saying in poetic verses:-- "May
Allah bless that burning And set all its (i.e. Medina's) Parts on burning fire. You will see who is far
from it (i.e. Al-Buwaira) And which of our lands will be Harmed by it (i.e. the burning of Al-
Buwaira).

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ النَّصْرِيُّ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ دَعَاهُ إِذْ جَاءَهُ حَاجِبُهُ يَرْفَا فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ فِي عُثْمَانَ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَالزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعْدٍ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ، فَأَدْخِلْهُمْ. فَلَبِثَ قَلِيلاً، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ فِي عَبَّاسٍ وَعَلِيٍّ يَسْتَأْذِنَانِ قَالَ نَعَمْ. فَلَمَّا دَخَلاَ قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، اقْضِ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ هَذَا، وَهُمَا يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي الَّذِي أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ، فَاسْتَبَّ عَلِيٌّ وَعَبَّاسٌ، فَقَالَ الرَّهْطُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، اقْضِ بَيْنَهُمَا وَأَرِحْ أَحَدَهُمَا مِنَ الآخَرِ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ اتَّئِدُوا، أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالأَرْضُ، هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ نُورَثُ، مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ ". يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ نَفْسَهُ. قَالُوا قَدْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ. فَأَقْبَلَ عُمَرُ عَلَى عَبَّاسٍ وَعَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكُمَا بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمَانِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ قَالاَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ هَذَا الأَمْرِ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ كَانَ خَصَّ رَسُولَهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي هَذَا الْفَىْءِ بِشَىْءٍ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُ فَقَالَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ {وَمَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْهُمْ فَمَا أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْلٍ وَلاَ رِكَابٍ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {قَدِيرٌ} فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ خَالِصَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثُمَّ وَاللَّهِ مَا احْتَازَهَا دُونَكُمْ، وَلاَ اسْتَأْثَرَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ، لَقَدْ أَعْطَاكُمُوهَا وَقَسَمَهَا فِيكُمْ، حَتَّى بَقِيَ هَذَا الْمَالُ مِنْهَا، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُنْفِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةَ سَنَتِهِمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ مَا بَقِيَ فَيَجْعَلُهُ مَجْعَلَ مَالِ اللَّهِ، فَعَمِلَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَيَاتَهُ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَنَا وَلِيُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. فَقَبَضَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَعَمِلَ فِيهِ بِمَا عَمِلَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنْتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ. فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ وَعَبَّاسٍ وَقَالَ تَذْكُرَانِ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ عَمِلَ فِيهِ كَمَا تَقُولاَنِ، وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُ فِيهِ لَصَادِقٌ بَارٌّ رَاشِدٌ تَابِعٌ لِلْحَقِّ ثُمَّ تَوَفَّى اللَّهُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا وَلِيُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ. فَقَبَضْتُهُ سَنَتَيْنِ مِنْ إِمَارَتِي أَعْمَلُ فِيهِ بِمَا عَمِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي فِيهِ صَادِقٌ بَارٌّ رَاشِدٌ تَابِعٌ لِلْحَقِّ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُمَانِي كِلاَكُمَا وَكَلِمَتُكُمَا وَاحِدَةٌ وَأَمْرُكُمَا جَمِيعٌ، فَجِئْتَنِي ـ يَعْنِي عَبَّاسًا ـ فَقُلْتُ لَكُمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ نُورَثُ، مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ ". فَلَمَّا بَدَا لِي أَنْ أَدْفَعَهُ إِلَيْكُمَا قُلْتُ إِنْ شِئْتُمَا دَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْكُمَا عَلَى أَنَّ عَلَيْكُمَا عَهْدَ اللَّهِ وَمِيثَاقَهُ لَتَعْمَلاَنِ فِيهِ بِمَا عَمِلَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَمَا عَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مُذْ وَلِيتُ، وَإِلاَّ فَلاَ تُكَلِّمَانِي، فَقُلْتُمَا ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْنَا بِذَلِكَ. فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْكُمَا، أَفَتَلْتَمِسَانِ مِنِّي قَضَاءً غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَوَاللَّهِ الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالأَرْضُ لاَ أَقْضِي فِيهِ بِقَضَاءٍ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ، فَإِنْ عَجَزْتُمَا عَنْهُ، فَادْفَعَا إِلَىَّ فَأَنَا أَكْفِيكُمَاهُ. قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ، أَنَا سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَقُولُ أَرْسَلَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عُثْمَانَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ يَسْأَلْنَهُ ثُمُنَهُنَّ مِمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَكُنْتُ أَنَا أَرُدُّهُنَّ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُنَّ أَلاَ تَتَّقِينَ اللَّهَ، أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْنَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَقُولُ " لاَ نُورَثُ، مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ ـ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ نَفْسَهُ ـ إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي هَذَا الْمَالِ ". فَانْتَهَى أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى مَا أَخْبَرَتْهُنَّ. قَالَ فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ الصَّدَقَةُ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ، مَنَعَهَا عَلِيٌّ عَبَّاسًا فَغَلَبَهُ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ كَانَ بِيَدِ حَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، ثُمَّ بِيَدِ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، ثُمَّ بِيَدِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ وَحَسَنِ بْنِ حَسَنٍ، كِلاَهُمَا كَانَا يَتَدَاوَلاَنِهَا، ثُمَّ بِيَدِ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَسَنٍ، وَهْىَ صَدَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَقًّا.
That once `Umar bin Al-Khattab called him and while he was sitting with him, his gatekeeper, Yarfa
came and said, "Will you admit `Uthman, `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf, AzZubair and Sa`d (bin Abi
Waqqas) who are waiting for your permission?" `Umar said, "Yes, let them come in." After a while,
Yarfa- came again and said, "Will you admit `Ali and `Abbas who are asking your permission?"
`Umar said, "Yes." So, when the two entered, `Abbas said, "O chief of the believers! Judge between
me and this (i.e. `Ali). "Both of them had a dispute regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which
Allah had given to His Apostle as Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting), `Ali and `Abbas started
reproaching each other. The (present) people (i.e. `Uthman and his companions) said, "O chief of the
believers! Give your verdict in their case and relieve each from) the other." `Umar said, "Wait I
beseech you, by Allah, by Whose Permission both the heaven and the earth stand fast! Do you know
that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'We (Prophets) our properties are not to be inherited, and whatever we leave,
is to be spent in charity,' and he said it about himself?" They (i.e. `Uthman and his company) said, "He
did say it. "`Umar then turned towards `Ali and `Abbas and said, "I beseech you both, by Allah! Do
you know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said this?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "Now I am talking
to you about this matter. Allah the Glorified favored His Apostle with something of this Fai (i.e. booty
won without fighting) which He did not give to anybody else. Allah said:--
"And what Allah gave to His Apostle ("Fai"" Booty) from them--For which you made no expedition
With either Calvary or camelry. But Allah gives power to His Apostles Over whomsoever He will
And Allah is able to do all things." (59.6)
So this property was especially granted to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . But by Allah, the Prophet (ﷺ) neither took it
all for himself only, nor deprived you of it, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it amongst you
till only this remained out of it. And from this Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to spend the yearly maintenance
for his family, and whatever used to remain, he used to spend it where Allah's Property is spent (i.e. in
charity), Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on acting like that during all his life, Then he died, and Abu Bakr said, 'I
am the successor of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).' So he (i.e. Abu Bakr) took charge of this property and disposed
of it in the same manner as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to do, and all of you (at that time) knew all about it."
Then `Umar turned towards `Ali and `Abbas and said, "You both remember that Abu Bakr disposed of
it in the way you have described and Allah knows that, in that matter, he was sincere, pious, rightly
guided and the follower of the right. Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die and I said, 'I am the successor
of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr.' So I kept this property in my possession for the first two years of
my rule (i.e. Caliphate and I used to dispose of it in the same wa as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr
used to do; and Allah knows that I have been sincere, pious, rightly guided an the follower of the right
(in this matte Later on both of you (i.e. `Ali and `Abbas) came to me, and the claim of you both was
one and the same, O `Abbas! You also came to me. So I told you both that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Our
property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity.'
Then when I thought that I should better hand over this property to you both or the condition that you
will promise and pledge before Allah that you will dispose it off in the same way as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
and Abu Bakr did and as I have done since the beginning of my caliphate or else you should not speak
to me (about it).' So, both of you said to me, 'Hand it over to us on this condition.' And on this
condition I handed it over to you. Do you want me now to give a decision other than that (decision)?
By Allah, with Whose Permission both the sky and the earth stand fast, I will never give any decision
other than that (decision) till the Last Hour is established.
But if you are unable to manage it (i.e. that property), then return it to me, and I will manage on your
behalf." The sub-narrator said, "I told `Urwa bin Az-Zubair of this Hadith and he said, 'Malik bin Aus
has told the truth" I heard `Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) sent
`Uthman to Abu Bakr demanding from him their 1/8 of the Fai which Allah had granted to his
Apostle. But I used to oppose them and say to them: Will you not fear Allah? Don't you know that the
Prophet used to say: Our property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity?
The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned that regarding himself. He added: 'The family of Muhammad can take their
sustenance from this property. So the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) stopped demanding it when I told them of
that.' So, this property (of Sadaqa) was in the hands of `Ali who withheld it from `Abbas and
overpowered him. Then it came in the hands of Hasan bin `Ali, then in the hands of Husain bin `Ali,
and then in the hands of `Ali bin Husain and Hasan bin Hasan, and each of the last two used to
manage it in turn, then it came in the hands of Zaid bin Hasan, and it was truly the Sadaqa of Allah's
Apostle ."

" لاَ نُورَثُ، مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ، إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي هَذَا الْمَالِ ". وَاللَّهِ لَقَرَابَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ أَصِلَ مِنْ قَرَابَتِي.
Fatima and Al-`Abbas came to Abu Bakr, claiming their inheritance of the Prophet's land of Fadak
and his share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'Our property is not inherited,
and whatever we leave is to be given in charity. But the family of Muhammad can take their
sustenance from this property.' By Allah, I would love to do good to the Kith and kin of Allah's
Apostle rather than to my own Kith and kin."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Who is willing to kill Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?"
Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Would you like that I kill
him?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing
(i.e. to deceive Ka`b). "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You may say it." Then Muhammad bin Maslama went to
Ka`b and said, "That man (i.e. Muhammad demands Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) from us, and he has troubled
us, and I have come to borrow something from you." On that, Ka`b said, "By Allah, you will get tired
of him!" Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Now as we have followed him, we do not want to leave him
unless and until we see how his end is going to be. Now we want you to lend us a camel load or two
of food." (Some difference between narrators about a camel load or two.) Ka`b said, "Yes, (I will lend
you), but you should mortgage something to me."
Muhammad bin Mas-lama and his companion said, "What do you want?" Ka`b replied, "Mortgage
your women to me." They said, "How can we mortgage our women to you and you are the most
handsome of the 'Arabs?" Ka`b said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." They said, "How can we
mortgage our sons to you? Later they would be abused by the people's saying that so-and-so has been
mortgaged for a camel load of food. That would cause us great disgrace, but we will mortgage our
arms to you." Muhammad bin Maslama and his companion promised Ka`b that Muhammad would
return to him. He came to Ka`b at night along with Ka`b's foster brother, Abu Na'ila. Ka`b invited
them to come into his fort, and then he went down to them. His wife asked him, "Where are you going
at this time?" Ka`b replied, "None but Muhammad bin Maslama and my (foster) brother Abu Na'ila
have come."
His wife said, "I hear a voice as if dropping blood is from him, Ka`b said. "They are none but my
brother Muhammad bin Maslama and my foster brother Abu Naila. A generous man should respond to
a call at night even if invited to be killed." Muhammad bin Maslama went with two men. (Some
narrators mention the men as 'Abu bin Jabr. Al Harith bin Aus and `Abbad bin Bishr). So
Muhammad bin Maslama went in together with two men, and sail to them, "When Ka`b comes, I will
touch his hair and smell it, and when you see that I have got hold of his head, strip him. I will let you
smell his head." Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf came down to them wrapped in his clothes, and diffusing
perfume. Muhammad bin Maslama said. " have never smelt a better scent than this. Ka`b replied. "I
have got the best 'Arab women who know how to use the high class of perfume." Muhammad bin
Maslama requested Ka`b "Will you allow me to smell your head?" Ka`b said, "Yes." Muhammad
smelt it and made his companions smell it as well. Then he requested Ka`b again, "Will you let me
(smell your head)?" Ka`b said, "Yes." When Muhammad got a strong hold of him, he said (to his
companions), "Get at him!" So they killed him and went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him. (Abu Rafi`)
was killed after Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent some men from the Ansar to ((kill) Abu Rafi`, the Jew, and appointed `Abdullah
bin Atik as their leader. Abu Rafi` used to hurt Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and help his enemies against him. He
lived in his castle in the land of Hijaz. When those men approached (the castle) after the sun had set
and the people had brought back their livestock to their homes. `Abdullah (bin Atik) said to his
companions, "Sit down at your places. I am going, and I will try to play a trick on the gate-keeper so
that I may enter (the castle)."
So `Abdullah proceeded towards the castle, and when he approached the gate, he covered himself with
his clothes, pretending to answer the call of nature. The people had gone in, and the gate-keeper
(considered `Abdullah as one of the castle's servants) addressing him saying, "O Allah's Servant!
Enter if you wish, for I want to close the gate." `Abdullah added in his story, "So I went in (the castle)
and hid myself. When the people got inside, the gate-keeper closed the gate and hung the keys on a
fixed wooden peg. I got up and took the keys and opened the gate. Some people were staying late at
night with Abu Rafi` for a pleasant night chat in a room of his. When his companions of nightly
entertainment went away, I ascended to him, and whenever I opened a door, I closed it from inside. I
said to myself, 'Should these people discover my presence, they will not be able to catch me till I have
killed him.'
So I reached him and found him sleeping in a dark house amidst his family, I could not recognize his
location in the house. So I shouted, 'O Abu Rafi`!' Abu Rafi` said, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the
source of the voice and hit him with the sword, and because of my perplexity, I could not kill him. He
cried loudly, and I came out of the house and waited for a while, and then went to him again and said,
'What is this voice, O Abu Rafi`?' He said, 'Woe to your mother! A man in my house has hit me with a
sword! I again hit him severely but I did not kill him. Then I drove the point of the sword into his
belly (and pressed it through) till it touched his back, and I realized that I have killed him.
I then opened the doors one by one till I reached the staircase, and thinking that I had reached the
ground, I stepped out and fell down and got my leg broken in a moonlit night. I tied my leg with a
turban and proceeded on till I sat at the gate, and said, 'I will not go out tonight till I know that I have
killed him.' So, when (early in the morning) the cock crowed, the announcer of the casualty stood on
the wall saying, 'I announce the death of Abu Rafi`, the merchant of Hijaz. Thereupon I went to my
companions and said, 'Let us save ourselves, for Allah has killed Abu Rafi`,' So I (along with my
companions proceeded and) went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and described the whole story to him. "He said,
'Stretch out your (broken) leg. I stretched it out and he rubbed it and it became All right as if I had
never had any ailment whatsoever."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent `Abdullah bin 'Atik and `Abdullah bin `Utba with a group of men to Abu Rafi`
(to kill him). They proceeded till they approached his castle, whereupon `Abdullah bin Atik said to
them, "Wait (here), and in the meantime I will go and see." `Abdullah said later on, "I played a trick in
order to enter the castle. By chance, they lost a donkey of theirs and came out carrying a flaming light
to search for it. I was afraid that they would recognize me, so I covered my head and legs and
pretended to answer the call to nature. The gatekeeper called, 'Whoever wants to come in, should
come in before I close the gate.' So I went in and hid myself in a stall of a donkey near the gate of the
castle. They took their supper with Abu Rafi` and had a chat till late at night. Then they went back to
their homes.
When the voices vanished and I no longer detected any movement, I came out. I had seen where the
gate-keeper had kept the key of the castle in a hole in the wall. I took it and unlocked the gate of the
castle, saying to myself, 'If these people should notice me, I will run away easily.' Then I locked all
the doors of their houses from outside while they were inside, and ascended to Abu Rafi` by a
staircase. I saw the house in complete darkness with its light off, and I could not know where the man
was. So I called, 'O Abu Rafi`!' He replied, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the voice and hit him. He
cried loudly but my blow was futile. Then I came to him, pretending to help him, saying with a
different tone of my voice, ' What is wrong with you, O Abu Rafi`?' He said, 'Are you not surprised?
Woe on your mother! A man has come to me and hit me with a sword!' So again I aimed at him and
hit him, but the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi` cried loudly and his wife got up.
I came again and changed my voice as if I were a helper, and found Abu Rafi` lying straight on his
back, so I drove the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the sound of a bone break. Then I
came out, filled with astonishment and went to the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it and got
my leg dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my companions limping. I said (to them), 'Go and tell
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of this good news, but I will not leave (this place) till I hear the news of his (i.e. Abu
Rafi`'s) death.' When dawn broke, an announcer of death got over the wall and announced, 'I convey
to you the news of Abu Rafi`'s death.' I got up and proceeded without feeling any pain till I caught up
with my companions before they reached the Prophet (ﷺ) to whom I conveyed the good news."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud eight years after (their death), as if
bidding farewell to the living and the dead, then he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am your
predecessor before you, and I am a witness on you, and your promised place to meet me will be Al-
Haud (i.e. the Tank) (on the Day of Resurrection), and I am (now) looking at it from this place of
mine. I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah, but I am afraid that worldly life will
tempt you and cause you to compete with each other for it." That was the last look which I cast on
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
We faced the pagans on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the Prophet (ﷺ) placed a batch of archers (at a
special place) and appointed `Abdullah (bin Jubair) as their commander and said, "Do not leave this
place; if you should see us conquering the enemy, do not leave this place, and if you should see
them conquering us, do not (come to) help us," So, when we faced the enemy, they took to their heels
till I saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting up their clothes from their legs, revealing
their leg-bangles. The Muslims started saying, "The booty, the booty!" `Abdullah bin Jubair said,
"The Prophet (ﷺ) had taken a firm promise from me not to leave this place." But his companions refused
(to stay). So when they refused (to stay there), (Allah) confused them so that they could not know
where to go, and they suffered seventy casualties. Abu Sufyan ascended a high place and said, "Is
Muhammad present amongst the people?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not answer him." Abu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present among
the people?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not answer him." `Abu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Al-Khattab
amongst the people?" He then added, "All these people have been killed, for, were they alive, they
would have replied." On that, `Umar could not help saying, "You are a liar, O enemy of Allah! Allah
has kept what will make you unhappy." Abu Sufyan said, "Superior may be Hubal!" On that the
Prophet said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They asked, "What may we say?" He said, "Say:
Allah is More Elevated and More Majestic!" Abu Sufyan said, "We have (the idol) Al-`Uzza, whereas
you have no `Uzza!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They said, "What may we
say?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Say: Allah is our Helper and you have no helper." Abu Sufyan said, "(This)
day compensates for our loss at Badr and (in) the battle (the victory) is always undecided and shared
in turns by the belligerents. You will see some of your dead men mutilated, but neither did I urge this
action, nor am I sorry for it." Narrated Jabir: Some people took wine in the morning of the day of
Uhud and were then killed as martyrs.
A meal was brought to `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf while he was fasting. He said, "Mus`ab bin `Umar
was martyred, and he was better than I, yet he was shrouded in a Burda (i.e. a sheet) so that, if his
head was covered, his feet became naked, and if his feet were covered, his head became naked."
`Abdur-Rahman added, "Hamza was martyred and he was better than 1. Then worldly wealth was
bestowed upon us and we were given thereof too much. We are afraid that the reward of our deeds
have been given to us in this life." `Abdur-Rahman then started weeping so much that he left the food.

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

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.

'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

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

This Verse: "When two of your parties almost Decided to fall away..." was revealed in our connection,
i.e. Bani Salama and Bani Haritha and I would not have liked that, if it was not revealed, for Allah
said:-- But Allah was their Protector.....(3.122)
"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Have you got married O Jabir?" I replied, "Yes." He asked "What, a
virgin or a matron?" I replied, "Not a virgin but a matron." He said, "Why did you not marry a young
girl who would have fondled with you?" I replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My father was martyred on the
day of Uhud and left nine (orphan) daughters who are my nine sisters; so I disliked to have another
young girl of their age, but (I sought) an (elderly) woman who could comb their hair and look after
them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have done the right thing."
That his father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud and was in debt and left six (orphan)
daughters. Jabir, added, "When the season of plucking the dates came, I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
said, "You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, and he was heavily in debt, and I
would like that the creditors should see you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and pile every kind of dates
apart." I did so and called him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ). When the creditors saw him, they started claiming
their debts from me then in such a harsh manner (as they had never done before). So when he saw
their attitude, he went round the biggest heap of dates thrice, and then sat over it and said, 'O Jabir),
call your companions (i.e. the creditors).' Then he kept on measuring (and giving) to the creditors
(their due) till Allah paid all the debt of my father. I would have been satisfied to retain nothing of
those dates for my sisters after Allah had paid the debts of my father. But Allah saved all the heaps (of
dates), so that when I looked at the heap where the Prophet (ﷺ) had been sitting, it seemed as if a single
date had not been taken away thereof."

Narrated `Ali:
حَدَّثَنَا يَسَرَةُ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَمَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ لأَحَدٍ إِلاَّ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ
" يَا سَعْدُ ارْمِ، فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي ".
I have never heard the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioning his father and mother for anybody other than Sa`d bin
Malik. I heard him saying on the day of Uhud, "O Sa`d throw (arrows)! Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you !"
I have been in the company of `AbdurRahman bin `Auf, Talha bin 'Ubaidullah, Al-Miqdad and Sa`d,
and I heard none of them narrating anything from the Prophet (ﷺ) excepting the fact that I heard Talha
narrating about the day of Uhud (battle) .

Narrated Anas:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُجَوِّبٌ عَلَيْهِ بِحَجَفَةٍ لَهُ، وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَجُلاً رَامِيًا شَدِيدَ النَّزْعِ، كَسَرَ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا، وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَمُرُّ مَعَهُ بِجَعْبَةٍ مِنَ النَّبْلِ فَيَقُولُ انْثُرْهَا لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ. قَالَ وَيُشْرِفُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ، فَيَقُولُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، لاَ تُشْرِفْ يُصِيبُكَ سَهْمٌ مِنْ سِهَامِ الْقَوْمِ، نَحْرِي دُونَ نَحْرِكَ. وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَأُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ، وَإِنَّهُمَا لَمُشَمِّرَتَانِ أَرَى خَدَمَ سُوقِهِمَا تَنْقُزَانِ الْقِرَبَ عَلَى مُتُونِهِمَا، تُفْرِغَانِهِ فِي أَفْوَاهِ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ تَرْجِعَانِ فَتَمْلآنِهَا، ثُمَّ تَجِيئَانِ فَتُفْرِغَانِهِ فِي أَفْوَاهِ الْقَوْمِ، وَلَقَدْ وَقَعَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدَىْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِمَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَإِمَّا ثَلاَثًا.
When it was the day of Uhud, the people left the Prophet (ﷺ) while Abu Talha was in front of the Prophet (ﷺ)
shielding him with his leather shield. Abu Talha was a skillful archer who used to shoot violently. He
broke two or three arrow bows on that day. If a man carrying a quiver full of arrows passed by, the
Prophet would say (to him), put (scatter) its contents for Abu Talha." The Prophet (ﷺ) would raise his
head to look at the enemy, whereupon Abu Talha would say, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed
for you ! Do not raise your head, lest an arrow of the enemy should hit you. (Let) my neck (be struck)
rather than your neck." I saw `Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, and Um Sulaim rolling up their
dresses so that I saw their leg-bangles while they were carrying water skins on their backs and
emptying them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. They would return to refill them and again
empty them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. The sword fell from Abu Talha's hand twice or
thrice (on that day).
When it was the day of Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then Satan, Allah's Curse be upon him, cried
loudly, "O Allah's Worshippers, beware of what is behind!" On that, the front files of the (Muslim)
forces turned their backs and started fighting with the back files. Hudhaifa looked, and on seeing his
father Al-Yaman, he shouted, "O Allah's Worshippers, my father, my father!" But by Allah, they did
not stop till they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you." (The sub-narrator, `Urwa, said,
"By Allah, Hudhaifa continued asking Allah's Forgiveness for the killers of his father till he departed
to Allah (i.e. died).")
A man came to perform the Hajj to (Allah's) House. Seeing some people sitting, he said, "Who are
these sitting people?" Somebody said, "They are the people of Quraish." He said, "Who is the old
man?" They said, "Ibn `Umar." He went to him and said, "I want to ask you about something; will you
tell me about it? I ask you with the respect due to the sanctity of this (Sacred) House, do you know
that `Uthman bin `Affan fled on the day of Uhud?" Ibn `Umar said, "Yes." He said, "Do you know
that he (i.e. `Uthman) was absent from the Badr (battle) and did not join it?" Ibn `Umar said, "Yes."
He said, "Do you know that he failed to be present at the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance (i.e. Pledge of
allegiance at Hudaibiya) and did not witness it?" Ibn `Umar replied, "Yes," He then said, "Allahu-
Akbar!" Ibn `Umar said, "Come along; I will inform you and explain to you what you have asked. As
for the flight (of `Uthman) on the day of Uhud, I testify that Allah forgave him. As regards his
absence from the Badr (battle), he was married to the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and she was ill, so
the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, 'You will have such reward as a man who has fought the Badr battle will get,
and will also have the same share of the booty.' As for his absence from the Ridwan Pledge of
allegiance if there had been anybody more respected by the Meccans than `Uthman bin `Affan, the
Prophet would surely have sent that man instead of `Uthman. So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent him (i.e. `Uthman to
Mecca) and the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance took place after `Uthman had gone to Mecca. The
Prophet raised his right hand saying. 'This is the hand of `Uthman,' and clapped it over his other hand
and said, "This is for `Uthman.'" Ibn `Umar then said (to the man), "Go now, after taking this
information."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin `Azib:
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الرَّجَّالَةِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، وَأَقْبَلُوا مُنْهَزِمِينَ، فَذَاكَ إِذْ يَدْعُوهُمُ الرَّسُولُ فِي أُخْرَاهُمْ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) appointed `Abdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the cavalry archers on the day of the
battle of Uhud. Then they returned defeated, and that what is referred to by Allah's Statement:-- "And
the Apostle (Muhammad) was in your rear calling you back." (3.153)
I was amongst those who were overtaken by slumber until my sword fell from my hand on several occasions. The sword fell and I picked it up, and it fell again, and I picked it up."
That he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), when raising his head from bowing of the first rak`a of the morning
prayer, saying, "O Allah! Curse so-and-so and so-and-so" after he had said, "Allah hears him who
sends his praises to Him. Our Lord, all the Praises are for you!" So Allah revealed:-- "Not for you (O
Muhammad! )......(till the end of Verse) they are indeed wrong-doers." (3.128)

Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi) - كتاب المغازى
Narrated Tha`laba bin Abi Malik:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، وَقَالَ ثَعْلَبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي مَالِكٍ إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَسَمَ مُرُوطًا بَيْنَ نِسَاءٍ مِنْ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَبَقِيَ مِنْهَا مِرْطٌ جَيِّدٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعْطِ هَذَا بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الَّتِي عِنْدَكَ. يُرِيدُونَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ عَلِيٍّ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أُمُّ سَلِيطٍ أَحَقُّ بِهِ. وَأُمُّ سَلِيطٍ مِنْ نِسَاءِ الأَنْصَارِ مِمَّنْ بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قَالَ عُمَرُ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُزْفِرُ لَنَا الْقِرَبَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab distributed woolen clothes amongst some women of Medina, and a nice woolen
garment remained. Some of those who were sitting with him, said, "O chief of the believers! Give it to
the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who is with you," and by that, they meant Um Kulthum, the daughter
of `Ali. `Umar said, "Um Salit has got more right than she." Um Salit was amongst those Ansari
women who had given the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . `Umar added, "She (i.e. Um Salit)
used to carry the filled water skins for us on the day of the battle of Uhud."
I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin `Adi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached Hims (i.e. a town in Syria),
'Ubaidullah bin `Adi said (to me), "Would you like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the
killing of Hamza?" I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about him and
somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as if he were a full water skin." So we went
up to him, and when we were at a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in return.
'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except his eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah
said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know
that `Adi bin Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu Al-Is, and she
delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet nurse for that child. (Once) I carried that
child along with his mother and then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's
feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi), "Will you tell us (the story of) the
killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied "Yes, Hamza killed Tuaima bin `Adi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr
(battle) so my master, Jubair bin Mut`im said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge for my uncle, then
you will be set free."
When the people set out (for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a mountain near the
mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there is a valley.. I went out with the people for the
battle. When the army aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any (Muslim) to accept
my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin `Abdul Muttalib came out and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar,
the one who circumcises other ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza
attacked and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone yesterday. I hid myself under a
rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus
so that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all the people returned to Mecca, I
too returned with them. I stayed in (Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif, and
when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I was told that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not
harm the messengers; So I too went out with them till I reached Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
When he saw me, he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who killed Hamza?' I
replied, 'What happened is what you have been told of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So
I went out when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming to be a
prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may kill him, and make amends for killing
Hamza. So I went out with the people (to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events
took place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e. Musailamah) standing near a gap in a
wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel and his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him,
driving it into his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his shoulders, and then an
Ansari man attacked him and struck him on the head with a sword. `Abdullah bin `Umar said, 'A slave
girl on the roof of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah) has been killed by a
black slave."

Narrated Abu Hazim:
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، وَهْوَ يُسْأَلُ عَنْ جُرْحِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَعْرِفُ مَنْ كَانَ يَغْسِلُ جُرْحَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَنْ كَانَ يَسْكُبُ الْمَاءَ وَبِمَا دُووِيَ ـ قَالَ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ـ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ـ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَغْسِلُهُ وَعَلِيٌّ يَسْكُبُ الْمَاءَ بِالْمِجَنِّ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ فَاطِمَةُ أَنَّ الْمَاءَ لاَ يَزِيدُ الدَّمَ إِلاَّ كَثْرَةً أَخَذَتْ قِطْعَةً مِنْ حَصِيرٍ، فَأَحْرَقَتْهَا وَأَلْصَقَتْهَا فَاسْتَمْسَكَ الدَّمُ، وَكُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، وَجُرِحَ وَجْهُهُ، وَكُسِرَتِ الْبَيْضَةُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ.
That he heard Sahl bin Sa`d being asked about the wounds of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "By Allah, I
know who washed the wounds of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and who poured water (for washing them), and with
what he was treated." Sahl added, "Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to wash the wounds,
and `Ali bin Abi Talib used to pour water from a shield. When Fatima saw that the water aggravated
the bleeding, she took a piece of a mat, burnt it, and inserted its ashes into the wound so that the blood
was congealed (and bleeding stopped). His canine tooth got broken on that day, and face was
wounded, and his helmet was broken on his head."
Allah's Wrath gets severe on a person killed by a prophet, and Allah's Wrath became severe on him
who had caused the face of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to bleed.
Regarding the Holy Verse: "Those who responded (To the call) of Allah And the Apostle
(Muhammad), After being wounded, For those of them Who did good deeds And refrained from
wrong, there is a great reward." (3.172)
She said to `Urwa, "O my nephew! Your father, Az-Zubair and Abu Bakr were amongst them (i.e.
those who responded to the call of Allah and the Apostle on the day (of the battle of Uhud). When
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), suffered what he suffered on the day of Uhud and the pagans left, the Prophet (ﷺ) was
afraid that they might return. So he said, 'Who will go on their (i.e. pagans') track?' He then selected
seventy men from amongst them (for this purpose)." (The sub-narrator added, "Abu Bakr and Az-
Zubair were amongst them.")
We do not know of any tribe amongst the 'Arab tribes who lost more martyrs than Al-Ansar, and they
will have superiority on the Day of Resurrection. Anas bin Malik told us that seventy from the Ansar
were martyred on the day of Uhud, and seventy on the day (of the battle of) Bir Ma'una, and seventy
on the day of Al-Yamama. Anas added, "The battle of Bir Ma'una took place during the lifetime of
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the battle of Al-Yamama, during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, and it was the day
when Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab was killed."

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ " أَيُّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ ". فَإِذَا أُشِيرَ لَهُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ، قَدَّمَهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ، وَقَالَ " أَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ". وَأَمَرَ بِدَفْنِهِمْ بِدِمَائِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَمْ يُغَسَّلُوا. وَقَالَ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا، قَالَ لَمَّا قُتِلَ أَبِي جَعَلْتُ أَبْكِي وَأَكْشِفُ الثَّوْبَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ،، فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْهَوْنِي وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يَنْهَ، وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تَبْكِيهِ أَوْ مَا تَبْكِيهِ، مَا زَالَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا حَتَّى رُفِعَ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to shroud two martyrs of Uhud in one sheet and then say, "Which of them knew
Qur'an more?" When one of the two was pointed out, he would put him first in the grave. Then he
said, "I will be a witness for them on the Day of Resurrection." He ordered them to be buried with
their blood (on their bodies). Neither was the funeral prayer offered for them, nor were they washed.
Jabir added, "When my father was martyred, I started weeping and uncovering his face. The
companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) stopped me from doing so but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not stop me. Then the
Prophet said, '(O Jabir.) don't weep over him, for the angels kept on covering him with their wings till
his body was carried away (for burial).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I saw in a dream that I moved a sword and its blade got broken, and that
symbolized the casualties which the believers suffered on the day of Uhud. Then I moved it again, and
it became as perfect as it had been, and that symbolized the Conquest (of Mecca) which Allah helped
us to achieve, and the union of all the believers. I (also) saw cows in the dream, and what Allah does
is always beneficial. Those cows appeared to symbolize the faithful believers (who were martyred) on
the day of Uhud."

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

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، مَوْلَى الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم طَلَعَ لَهُ أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ
" هَذَا جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ، وَإِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا ".
When the mountain of Uhud appeared before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he said, "This IS a mountain that loves
us and is loved by us. O, Allah! Abraham made Mecca a Sanctuary, and I have made Medina (i.e. the
area between its two mountains) a Sanctuary as well."
One day the Prophet (ﷺ) went out and offered the (funeral) prayer for the people (i.e. martyrs) of Uhud as
he used to offer a funeral prayer for any dead person, and then (after returning) he ascended the pulpit
and said, "I am your predecessor before you, and I am a witness upon you, and I am looking at my
Tank just now, and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the world (or the keys of the world).
By Allah, I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah after me, but I am afraid that you
will compete with each other for (the pleasures of) this world."
The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a Sariya of spies and appointed `Asim bin Thabit, the grandfather of `Asim bin
`Umar bin Al-Khattab, as their leader. So they set out, and when they reached (a place) between
'Usfan and Mecca, they were mentioned to one of the branch tribes of Bani Hudhail called Lihyan. So,
about one-hundred archers followed their traces till they (i.e. the archers) came to a journey station
where they (i.e. `Asim and his companions) had encamped and found stones of dates they had brought
as journey food from Medina.
The archers said, "These are the dates of Medina," and followed their traces till they took them over.
When `Asim and his companions were not able to go ahead, they went up a high place, and their
pursuers encircled them and said, "You have a covenant and a promise that if you come down to us,
we will not kill anyone of you." `Asim said, "As for me, I will never come down on the security of an
infidel. O Allah! Inform Your Prophet about us." So they fought with them till they killed `Asim along
with seven of his companions with arrows, and there remained Khubaib, Zaid and another man to
whom they gave a promise and a covenant. So when the infidels gave them the covenant and promise,
they came down. When they captured them, they opened the strings of their arrow bows and tied them
with it. The third man who was with them said, "This is the first breach in the covenant," and refused
to accompany them. They dragged him and tried to make him accompany them, but he refused, and
they killed him. Then they proceeded on taking Khubaib and Zaid till they sold them in Mecca. The
sons of Al-Harith bin `Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib. It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin
`Amr on the day of Badr. Khubaib stayed with them for a while as a captive till they decided
unanimously to kill him. (At that time) Khubaib borrowed a razor from one of the daughters of Al-
Harith to shave his pubic hair. She gave it to him. She said later on, "I was heedless of a little baby of
mine, who moved towards Khubaib, and when it reached him, he put it on his thigh.
When I saw it, I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed my distress while he was carrying the razor
in his hand. He said 'Are you afraid that I will kill it? Allah willing, I will never do that,' " Later on she
used to say, "I have never seen a captive better than Khubaib Once I saw him eating from a bunch of
grapes although at that time no fruits were available at Mecca, and he was fettered with iron chains,
and in fact, it was nothing but food bestowed upon him by Allah." So they took him out of the
Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him. He said, "Allow me to offer a two-rak`at prayer." Then he went to
them and said, "Had I not been afraid that you would think I was afraid of death, I would have prayed
for a longer time." So it was Khubaib who first set the tradition of praying two rak`at before being
executed. He then said, "O Allah! Count them one by one," and added, 'When I am being martyred as
a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my death for Allah's Sake, because this death is in
Allah's Cause. If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs." Then `Uqba bin Al-Harith got up and
martyred him. The narrator added: The Quraish (infidels) sent some people to `Asim in order to bring
a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for `Asim had killed one of their chiefs
on the day of Badr. But Allah sent a cloud of wasps which protected his body from their messengers
who could not harm his body consequently.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَبْعِينَ رَجُلاً لِحَاجَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهُمُ الْقُرَّاءُ، فَعَرَضَ لَهُمْ حَيَّانِ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ رِعْلٌ وَذَكْوَانُ، عِنْدَ بِئْرٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا بِئْرُ مَعُونَةَ، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ وَاللَّهِ مَا إِيَّاكُمْ أَرَدْنَا، إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُجْتَازُونَ فِي حَاجَةٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَتَلُوهُمْ فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَيْهِمْ شَهْرًا فِي صَلاَةِ الْغَدَاةِ، وَذَلِكَ بَدْءُ الْقُنُوتِ وَمَا كُنَّا نَقْنُتُ. قَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ وَسَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَنَسًا عَنِ الْقُنُوتِ أَبَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ، أَوْ عِنْدَ فَرَاغٍ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ قَالَ لاَ بَلْ عِنْدَ فَرَاغٍ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ.
Anas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) sent seventy men, called Al-Qurra 'for some purpose. The two groups of Bani
Sulaim called Ri'l and Dhakwan, appeared to them near a well called Bir Ma'una. The people (i.e. Al-
Qurra) said, 'By Allah, we have not come to harm you, but we are passing by you on our way to do
something for the Prophet.' But (the infidels) killed them. The Prophet (ﷺ) therefore invoked evil upon
them for a month during the morning prayer. That was the beginning of Al Qunut and we used not to
say Qunut before that." A man asked Anas about Al-Qunut, "Is it to be said after the Bowing (in the
prayer) or after finishing the Recitation (i.e. before Bowing)?" Anas replied, "No, but (it is to be said)
after finishing the Recitation."
(The tribes of) Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Lihyan asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to provide them with
some men to support them against their enemy. He therefore provided them with seventy men from
the Ansar whom we used to call Al-Qurra' in their lifetime. They used to collect wood by daytime and
pray at night. When they were at the well of Ma'una, the infidels killed them by betraying them. When
this news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) , he said Al-Qunut for one month In the morning prayer, invoking evil
upon some of the 'Arab tribes, upon Ril, Dhakwan, 'Usaiya and Bani Libyan. We used to read a verse
of the Qur'an revealed in their connection, but later the verse was cancelled. It was: "convey to our
people on our behalf the information that we have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us, and has
made us pleased." (Anas bin Malik added:) Allah's Prophet said Qunut for one month in the morning
prayer, invoking evil upon some of the 'Arab tribes (namely), Ril, Dhakwan, Usaiya, and Bani Libyan.
(Anas added:) Those seventy Ansari men were killed at the well of Mauna.
That the Prophet (ﷺ) sent his uncle, the brother of Um Sulaim at the head of seventy riders. The chief of
the pagans, 'Amir bin at-Tufail proposed three suggestions (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) saying, "Choose one of
three alternatives: (1) that the bedouins will be under your command and the townspeople will be
under my command; (2) or that I will be your successor, (3) or otherwise I will attack you with two
thousand from Bani Ghatafan." But 'Amir was infected with plague in the House of Um so-and-so. He
said, "Shall I stay in the house of a lady from the family of so-and-so after having a (swelled) gland
like that she-camel? Get me my horse." So he died on the back of his horse. Then Haram, the brother
of Um Sulaim and a lame man along with another man from so-and-so (tribe) went towards the
pagans (i.e. the tribe of 'Amir). Haram said (to his companions), "Stay near to me, for I will go to
them. If they (i.e. infidels) should give me protection, you will be near to me, and if they should kill
me, then you should go back to your companions. Then Haram went to them and said, "Will you give
me protection so as to convey the message of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" So, he started talking to them' but
they signalled to a man (to kill him) and he went behind him and stabbed him (with a spear). He (i.e.
Haram) said, "Allahu Akbar! I have succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka`ba!" The companion of Haram
was pursued by the infidels, and then they (i.e. Haram's companions) were all killed except the lame
man who was at the top of a mountain. Then Allah revealed to us a verse that was among the
cancelled ones later on. It was: 'We have met our Lord and He is pleased with us and has made us
pleased.' (After this event) the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked evil on the infidels every morning for 30 days. He
invoked evil upon the (tribes of) Ril, Dhakwan, Bani Lihyan and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and His
Apostle.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
حَدَّثَنِي حِبَّانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ثُمَامَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ لَمَّا طُعِنَ حَرَامُ بْنُ مِلْحَانَ ـ وَكَانَ خَالَهُ ـ يَوْمَ بِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ قَالَ بِالدَّمِ هَكَذَا، فَنَضَحَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَرَأْسِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ.
That when Haram bin Milhan, his uncle was stabbed on the day of Bir Ma'una he sprinkled his blood
over his face and his head this way and then said, "I have succeeded, by the Lord of the Ka`ba.'
Abu Bakr asked the Prophet (ﷺ) to allow him to go out (of Mecca) when he was greatly annoyed (by the
infidels). But the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, ''Wait." Abu Bakr said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do you hope that
you will be allowed (to migrate)?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "I hope so." So Abu Bakr waited for him
till one day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came at noon time and addressed him saying "Let whoever is present with
you, now leave you." Abu Bakr said, "None is present but my two daughters." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Have you noticed that I have been allowed to go out (to migrate)?" Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's
Apostle, I would like to accompany you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You will accompany me." Abu Bakr
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have got two she-camels which I had prepared and kept ready for (our)
going out." So he gave one of the two (she-camels) to the Prophet (ﷺ) and it was Al-Jad`a . They both
rode and proceeded till they reached the Cave at the mountain of Thaur where they hid themselves.
Amir bin Fuhaira was the slave of `Abdullah bin at-Tufail bin Sakhbara `Aisha's brother from her
mother's side. Abu Bakr had a milch she-camel. Amir used to go with it (i.e. the milch she-camel) in
the afternoon and come back to them before noon by setting out towards them in the early morning
when it was still dark and then he would take it to the pasture so that none of the shepherds would be
aware of his job. When the Prophet (and Abu Bakr) went away (from the Cave), he (i.e. 'Amir) too
went along with them and they both used to make him ride at the back of their camels in turns till they
reached Medina. 'Amir bin Fuhaira was martyred on the day of Bir Ma'una.
Narrated `Urwa: When those (Muslims) at Bir Ma'una were martyred and `Amr bin Umaiya Ad-
Damri was taken prisoner, 'Amir bin at-Tufail, pointing at a killed person, asked `Amr, "Who is this?"
`Amr bin Umaiya said to him, "He is 'Amir bin Fuhaira." 'Amir bin at-Tufail said, "I saw him lifted to
the sky after he was killed till I saw the sky between him and the earth, and then he was brought down
upon the earth. Then the news of the killed Muslims reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he announced the news
of their death saying, "Your companions (of Bir Ma'una) have been killed, and they have asked their
Lord saying, 'O our Lord! Inform our brothers about us as we are pleased with You and You are
pleased with us." So Allah informed them (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions) about them (i.e.
martyrs of Bir Mauna).
On that day, `Urwa bin Asma bin As-Salt who was one of them, was killed, and `Urwa (bin Az-
Zubair) was named after `Urwa bin Asma and Mundhir (bin AzZubair) was named after Mundhir bin
`Amr (who had also been martyred on that day).

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

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and saw the Emigrants and the Ansar
digging the trench in the cold morning. They had no slaves to do that (work) for them. When the
Prophet saw their hardship and hunger, he said, 'O Allah! The real life is the life of the Hereafter, so
please forgive Ansar and the Emigrants." They said in reply to him, "We are those who have given the
Pledge of allegiances to Muhammad for to observe Jihad as long as we live."
Al-Muhajirun (i.e. the Emigrants) and the Ansar were digging the trench around Medina and were
carrying the earth on their backs while saying, "We are those who have given the pledge of allegiance
to Muhammad for Islam as long as we live." The Prophet (ﷺ) said in reply to their saying, "O Allah!
There is no goodness except the goodness of the Hereafter; so please grant Your Blessing to the Ansar
and the Emigrants." The people used to bring a handful of barley, and a meal used to be prepared
thereof by cooking it with a cooking material (i.e. oil, fat and butter having a change in color and
smell) and it used to be presented to the people (i.e. workers) who were hungry, and it used to stick to
their throats and had a nasty smell.

حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ أَيْمَنَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ جَابِرًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ فَقَالَ إِنَّا يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ نَحْفِرُ فَعَرَضَتْ كُدْيَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، فَجَاءُوا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا هَذِهِ كُدْيَةٌ عَرَضَتْ فِي الْخَنْدَقِ، فَقَالَ " أَنَا نَازِلٌ ". ثُمَّ قَامَ وَبَطْنُهُ مَعْصُوبٌ بِحَجَرٍ، وَلَبِثْنَا ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ لاَ نَذُوقُ ذَوَاقًا، فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمِعْوَلَ فَضَرَبَ، فَعَادَ كَثِيبًا أَهْيَلَ أَوْ أَهْيَمَ، فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِي إِلَى الْبَيْتِ. فَقُلْتُ لاِمْرَأَتِي رَأَيْتُ بِالنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَيْئًا، مَا كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ صَبْرٌ، فَعِنْدَكِ شَىْءٌ قَالَتْ عِنْدِي شَعِيرٌ وَعَنَاقٌ. فَذَبَحْتُ الْعَنَاقَ وَطَحَنَتِ الشَّعِيرَ، حَتَّى جَعَلْنَا اللَّحْمَ فِي الْبُرْمَةِ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالْعَجِينُ قَدِ انْكَسَرَ، وَالْبُرْمَةُ بَيْنَ الأَثَافِيِّ قَدْ كَادَتْ أَنْ تَنْضَجَ فَقُلْتُ طُعَيِّمٌ لِي، فَقُمْ أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَرَجُلٌ أَوْ رَجُلاَنِ. قَالَ " كَمْ هُوَ ". فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ، قَالَ " كَثِيرٌ طَيِّبٌ ". قَالَ " قُلْ لَهَا لاَ تَنْزِعُ الْبُرْمَةَ وَلاَ الْخُبْزَ مِنَ التَّنُّورِ حَتَّى آتِيَ ". فَقَالَ " قُومُوا ". فَقَامَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالأَنْصَارُ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ وَيْحَكِ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ وَمَنْ مَعَهُمْ. قَالَتْ هَلْ سَأَلَكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. فَقَالَ " ادْخُلُوا وَلاَ تَضَاغَطُوا ". فَجَعَلَ يَكْسِرُ الْخُبْزَ وَيَجْعَلُ عَلَيْهِ اللَّحْمَ، وَيُخَمِّرُ الْبُرْمَةَ وَالتَّنُّورَ إِذَا أَخَذَ مِنْهُ، وَيُقَرِّبُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ثُمَّ يَنْزِعُ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَكْسِرُ الْخُبْزَ وَيَغْرِفُ حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَبَقِيَ بَقِيَّةٌ قَالَ " كُلِي هَذَا وَأَهْدِي، فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ أَصَابَتْهُمْ مَجَاعَةٌ ".
We were digging (the trench) on the day of (Al-Khandaq ( i.e. Trench )) and we came across a big
solid rock. We went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "Here is a rock appearing across the trench." He said, "I
am coming down." Then he got up, and a stone was tied to his belly for we had not eaten anything for
three days. So the Prophet (ﷺ) took the spade and struck the big solid rock and it became like sand. I said,
"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allow me to go home." (When the Prophet (ﷺ) allowed me) I said to my wife, "I saw
the Prophet (ﷺ) in a state that I cannot treat lightly. Have you got something (for him to eat?" She replied,
"I have barley and a she goat." So I slaughtered the she-kid and she ground the barley; then we put the
meat in the earthenware cooking pot. Then I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) when the dough had become soft and
fermented and (the meat in) the pot over the stone trivet had nearly been well-cooked, and said, "I
have got a little food prepared, so get up O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), you and one or two men along with you
(for the food)."
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "How much is that food?" I told him about it. He said, "It is abundant and good.
Tell your wife not to remove the earthenware pot from the fire and not to take out any bread from the
oven till I reach there." Then he said (to all his companions), "Get up." So the Muhajirn (i.e.
Emigrants) and the Ansar got up. When I came to my wife, I said, "Allah's Mercy be upon you! The
Prophet came along with the Muhajirin and the Ansar and those who were present with them." She
said, "Did the Prophet (ﷺ) ask you (how much food you had)?" I replied, "Yes." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Enter and do not throng." The Prophet (ﷺ) started cutting the bread (into pieces) and put the cooked meat
over it. He covered the earthenware pot and the oven whenever he took something out of them. He
would give the food to his companions and take the meat out of the pot. He went on cutting the bread
and scooping the meat (for his companions) till they all ate their fill, and even then, some food
remained. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to my wife), "Eat and present to others as the people are struck with
hunger."

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مِينَاءَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَمَّا حُفِرَ الْخَنْدَقُ رَأَيْتُ بِالنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَمَصًا شَدِيدًا، فَانْكَفَأْتُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِي فَقُلْتُ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ شَىْءٌ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَمَصًا شَدِيدًا. فَأَخْرَجَتْ إِلَىَّ جِرَابًا فِيهِ صَاعٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ، وَلَنَا بُهَيْمَةٌ دَاجِنٌ فَذَبَحْتُهَا، وَطَحَنَتِ الشَّعِيرَ فَفَرَغَتْ إِلَى فَرَاغِي، وَقَطَّعْتُهَا فِي بُرْمَتِهَا، ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ لاَ تَفْضَحْنِي بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ. فَجِئْتُهُ فَسَارَرْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَبَحْنَا بُهَيْمَةً لَنَا وَطَحَنَّا صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا، فَتَعَالَ أَنْتَ وَنَفَرٌ مَعَكَ. فَصَاحَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " يَا أَهْلَ الْخَنْدَقِ، إِنَّ جَابِرًا قَدْ صَنَعَ سُورًا فَحَىَّ هَلاً بِكُمْ ". فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تُنْزِلُنَّ بُرْمَتَكُمْ، وَلاَ تَخْبِزُنَّ عَجِينَكُمْ حَتَّى أَجِيءَ ". فَجِئْتُ وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْدُمُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى جِئْتُ امْرَأَتِي، فَقَالَتْ بِكَ وَبِكَ. فَقُلْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ الَّذِي قُلْتِ. فَأَخْرَجَتْ لَهُ عَجِينًا، فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ وَبَارَكَ، ثُمَّ عَمَدَ إِلَى بُرْمَتِنَا فَبَصَقَ وَبَارَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ " ادْعُ خَابِزَةً فَلْتَخْبِزْ مَعِي وَاقْدَحِي مِنْ بُرْمَتِكُمْ وَلاَ تُنْزِلُوهَا"، وَهُمْ أَلْفٌ، فَأُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَكَلُوا حَتَّى تَرَكُوهُ وَانْحَرَفُوا، وَإِنَّ بُرْمَتَنَا لَتَغِطُّ كَمَا هِيَ، وَإِنَّ عَجِينَنَا لَيُخْبَزُ كَمَا هُوَ.
When the Trench was dug, I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) in the state of severe hunger. So I returned to my wife
and said, "Have you got anything (to eat), for I have seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in a state of severe hunger."
She brought out for me, a bag containing one Sa of barley, and we had a domestic she animal (i.e. a
kid) which I slaughtered then, and my wife ground the barley and she finished at the time I finished
my job (i.e. slaughtering the kid). Then I cut the meat into pieces and put it in an earthenware
(cooking) pot, and returned to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . My wife said, "Do not disgrace me in front of Allah's
Apostle and those who are with him." So I went to him and said to him secretly, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I
have slaughtered a she-animal (i.e. kid) of ours, and we have ground a Sa of barley which was with us.
So please come, you and another person along with you." The Prophet (ﷺ) raised his voice and said, "O
people of Trench ! Jabir has prepared a meal so let us go." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "Don't put
down your earthenware meat pot (from the fireplace) or bake your dough till I come." So I came (to
my house) and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) too, came, proceeding before the people. When I came to my wife, she
said, "May Allah do so-and-so to you." I said, "I have told the Prophet (ﷺ) of what you said." Then she
brought out to him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) the dough, and he spat in it and invoked for Allah's Blessings in it.
Then he proceeded towards our earthenware meat-pot and spat in it and invoked for Allah's Blessings
in it. Then he said (to my wife). Call a lady-baker to bake along with you and keep on taking out
scoops from your earthenware meat-pot, and do not put it down from its fireplace." They were onethousand
(who took their meals), and by Allah they all ate, and when they left the food and went
away, our earthenware pot was still bubbling (full of meat) as if it had not decreased, and our dough
was still being baked as if nothing had been taken from it.
As regards the following Qur'anic Verse:-- "When they came on you from above and from below you
(from east and west of the valley) and when the eyes grew wild and the hearts reached up to the
throats....." (33.10) That happened on the day of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench).

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ حَتَّى أَغْمَرَ بَطْنَهُ أَوِ اغْبَرَّ بَطْنُهُ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلاَ اللَّهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلاَ تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلاَ صَلَّيْنَا فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاَقَيْنَا إِنَّ الأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا وَرَفَعَ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ أَبَيْنَا أَبَيْنَا.
The Prophet (ﷺ) was carrying earth on the day of Al-Khandaq till his `Abdomen was fully covered with
dust, and he was saying, "By Allah, without Allah we would not have been guided, neither would we
have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So (O Allah), please send Sakina (i.e. calmness)
upon us, and make our feet firm if we meet the enemy as the enemy have rebelled against us, and if
they intended affliction, (i.e. want to frighten us and fight against us then we would not flee but
withstand them)." The Prophet (ﷺ) used to raise his voice saying, "Abaina! Abaina! (i.e. would not, we
would not).

Hadith 4105
Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi) - كتاب المغازى
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رَضِيَ الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" نُصِرْتُ بِالصَّبَا وَأُهْلِكَتْ عَادٌ بِالدَّبُورِ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been made victorious by As-Saba (i.e. an easterly wind) and the Ad nation
was destroyed by Ad-Dabur (i.e. a westerly wind).
When it was the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans) and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) dug the trench, I saw him
carrying earth out of the trench till dust made the skin of his `Abdomen out of my sight and he was a
hairy man. I heard him reciting the poetic verses composed by Ibn Rawaha while he was carrying the
earth, "O Allah! Without You we would not have been guided, nor would we have given in charity,
nor would we have prayed. So, (O Allah), please send Sakina (i.e. calmness) upon us and make our
feet firm if we meet the enemy, as they have rebelled against us. And if they intend affliction (i.e.
want to frighten us, and fight against us) then we would not (flee but withstand them)." The Prophet (ﷺ)
would then prolong his voice at the last words.
Ibn `Umar said, "I went to Hafsa while water was dribbling from her twined braids. I said, 'The
condition of the people is as you see, and no authority has been given to me.' Hafsa said, (to me), 'Go
to them, and as they (i.e. the people) are waiting for you, and I am afraid your absence from them will
produce division amongst them.' " So Hafsa did not leave Ibn `Umar till we went to them. When the
people differed. Muawiya addressed the people saying, "'If anybody wants to say anything in this
matter of the Caliphate, he should show up and not conceal himself, for we are more rightful to be a
Caliph than he and his father." On that, Habib bin Masalama said (to Ibn `Umar), "Why don't you
reply to him (i.e. Muawiya)?" `Abdullah bin `Umar said, "I untied my garment that was going round
my back and legs while I was sitting and was about to say, 'He who fought against you and against
your father for the sake of Islam, is more rightful to be a Caliph,' but I was afraid that my statement
might produce differences amongst the people and cause bloodshed, and my statement might be
interpreted not as I intended. (So I kept quiet) remembering what Allah has prepared in the Gardens of
Paradise (for those who are patient and prefer the Hereafter to this worldly life)." Habib said, "You
did what kept you safe and secure (i.e. you were wise in doing so).

On the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans) the Prophet (ﷺ) said, (After this battle) we will go to attack them(i.e.
the infidels) and they will not come to attack us."
When the clans were driven away, I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From now onwards we will go to
attack them (i.e. the infidels) and they will not come to attack us, but we will go to them."

" مَلأَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَقُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا كَمَا شَغَلُونَا عَنْ صَلاَةِ الْوُسْطَى حَتَّى غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ ".
On the day of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench), the Prophet (ﷺ) said '(Let) Allah fill their (i.e. the infidels')
houses and graves with fire just as they have prevented us from offering the Middle Prayer (i.e. `Asr
prayer) till the sun had set."

" وَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا " فَنَزَلْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بُطْحَانَ، فَتَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلاَةِ وَتَوَضَّأْنَا لَهَا، فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab came on the day of Al-Khandaq after the sun had set and he was abusing the
infidels of Quraish saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I was unable to offer the (`Asr) prayer till the sun was
about to set." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I have not offered this (i.e. `Asr) prayer." So we came
down along with the Prophet (ﷺ) to Buthan where he performed ablution for the prayer and then we
performed the ablution for it. Then he offered the `Asr prayer after the sun had set, and after it he
offered the Maghrib prayer.
On the day of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans), Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Who will bring us the news of the people
(i.e. the clans of Quraish infidels)?" Az-Zubair said, "I." The Prophet (ﷺ) again said, "Who will bring us
the news of the people?" AzZubair said, "I." The Prophet (ﷺ) again said, "Who will bring us the news of
the people?" Az-Zubair said, "I." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Every prophet has his Hawari (i.e. disciplespecial
helper); my disciple is Az-Zubair.

Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) returned from a Ghazwa, Hajj or `Umra, he used to start (saying), "Allahu-

has no partners. To Him belongs the Kingdom, all praises are for Him, and He is able to do all things
(i.e. Omnipotent). We are returning with repentance (to Allah) worshipping, prostrating, and praising

Gabriel came and said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), You have laid down your arms? By Allah, we angels have not
laid them down yet. So set out for them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Where to go?" Gabriel said, "Towards
this side," pointing towards Banu Quraiza. So the Prophet (ﷺ) went out towards them.

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

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

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

"The Prophet (ﷺ) set out for the battle of Dhat-ur-Riqa' at a place called Nakhl and he met a group of people from Ghatafan, but there was no clash (between them); the people were afraid of each other and the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the two raka'at of the Fear prayer."
Narrated Salama: "I fought in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of al-Qarad."
Abu Musa said, "We went out in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) for a Ghazwa and we were six persons
having one camel which we rode in rotation. So, (due to excessive walking) our feet became thin and
my feet became thin and my nail dropped, and we used to wrap our feet with the pieces of cloth, and
for this reason, the Ghazwa was named Dhat-ur-Riqa as we wrapped our feet with rags." When Abu-
Musa narrated this (Hadith), he felt regretful to do so and said, as if he disliked to have disclosed a
good deed of his.
Concerning those who witnessed the Fear Prayer that was performed in the battle of Dhat-ur-Riqa' in
the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ); One batch lined up behind him while another batch (lined up) facing
the enemy. The Prophet (ﷺ) led the batch that was with him in one rak`a, and he stayed in the standing
posture while that batch completed their (two rak`at) prayer by themselves and went away, lining in
the face of the enemy, while the other batch came and he (i.e. the Prophet) offered his remaining rak`a
with them, and then, kept on sitting till they completed their prayer by themselves, and he then
finished his prayer with Taslim along with them.

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

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

took it out of its sheath secretly and said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), 'Are you afraid of me?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
'No.' He said, 'Who can save you from me?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Allah.' The companions of the Prophet (ﷺ)
threatened him, then the Iqama for the prayer was announced and the Prophet (ﷺ) offered a two rak`at
Fear prayer with one of the two batches, and that batch went aside and he offered two rak`a-t with the
other batch. So the Prophet (ﷺ) offered four rak`at but the people offered two rak`at only." (The subnarrator)
Abu Bishr added, "The man was Ghaurath bin Al-Harith and the battle was waged against
Muharib Khasafa."

وَقَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِنَخْلٍ فَصَلَّى الْخَوْفَ. وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَزْوَةَ نَجْدٍ صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ. وَإِنَّمَا جَاءَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَيَّامَ خَيْبَرَ.
Jabir added, "We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) at Nakhl and he offered the Fear prayer."
Abu Huraira said, "I offered the Fear prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Ghazwa (i.e. the battle) of
Najd." Abu Huraira came to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the day of Khaibar.
I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl
(i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Sa`id said, "We went out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for the Ghazwa of Banu
Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and
celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus
interrupt us, we said, 'How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who is present
among us?" We asked (him) about it and he said, 'It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till
the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist."

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

`Aisha used to recite this Verse:-- 'Ida taliqunahu bi-alsinatikum' (24.15) "(As you tell lie with your
tongues.)" and used to say "Al-Walaq" means "telling of a lie. "She knew this Verse more than
anybody else as it was revealed about her.
I started abusing Hassan in front of `Aisha. She said, "Do not abuse him as he used to defend Allah's
Apostle (against the infidels). `Aisha added, "Once Hassan took the permission from the Prophet (ﷺ) to
say poetic verses against the infidels. On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'How will you exclude my forefathers
(from that)? Hassan replied, 'I will take you out of them as one takes a hair out of the dough."
Hisham's father added, "I abused Hassan as he was one of those who spoke against `Aisha."
We went to `Aisha while Hassan bin Thabit was with her reciting poetry to her from some of his
poetic verses, saying "A chaste wise lady about whom nobody can have suspicion. She gets up with an
empty stomach because she never eats the flesh of indiscreet (ladies)." `Aisha said to him, "But you
are not like that." I said to her, "Why do you grant him admittance, though Allah said:-- "and as for
him among them, who had the greater share therein, his will be a severe torment." (24.11)
On that, `Aisha said, "And what punishment is more than blinding?" She, added, "Hassan used to
defend or say poetry on behalf of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (against the infidels).

has said?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He said, "Allah said:-- "(Some of) My

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ تَعُدُّونَ أَنْتُمُ الْفَتْحَ فَتْحَ مَكَّةَ، وَقَدْ كَانَ فَتْحُ مَكَّةَ فَتْحًا، وَنَحْنُ نَعُدُّ الْفَتْحَ بَيْعَةَ الرُّضْوَانِ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ. كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً، وَالْحُدَيْبِيَةُ بِئْرٌ فَنَزَحْنَاهَا، فَلَمْ نَتْرُكْ فِيهَا قَطْرَةً، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَتَاهَا، فَجَلَسَ عَلَى شَفِيرِهَا، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَدَعَا، ثُمَّ صَبَّهُ فِيهَا فَتَرَكْنَاهَا غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا أَصْدَرَتْنَا مَا شِئْنَا نَحْنُ وَرِكَابَنَا.
Do you (people) consider the conquest of Mecca, the Victory (referred to in the Qur'an 48:1). Was the
conquest of Mecca a victory? We really consider that the actual Victory was the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of
allegiance which we gave on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (to the Prophet) . On the day of Al-Hudaibiya
we were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet (ﷺ) Al-Hudaibiya was a well, the water of which
we used up leaving not a single drop of water in it. When the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed of that, he came
and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of water, performed ablution from it, rinsed (his
mouth), invoked (Allah), and poured the remaining water into the well. We stayed there for a while
and then the well brought forth what we required of water for ourselves and our riding animals.

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:
حَدَّثَنِي فَضْلُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ، فَنَزَلُوا عَلَى بِئْرٍ فَنَزَحُوهَا، فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَتَى الْبِئْرَ، وَقَعَدَ عَلَى شَفِيرِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ " ائْتُونِي بِدَلْوٍ مِنْ مَائِهَا ". فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَبَصَقَ فَدَعَا ثُمَّ قَالَ " دَعُوهَا سَاعَةً ". فَأَرْوَوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَرِكَابَهُمْ حَتَّى ارْتَحَلُوا.
That they were in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day of Al-Hudaibiya and their number was
1400 or more. They camped at a well and drew its water till it was dried. When they informed Allah's
Apostle of that, he came and sat over its edge and said, "Bring me a bucket of its water." When it was
brought, he spat and invoked (Allah) and said, "Leave it for a while." Then they quenched their thirst
and watered their riding animals (from that well) till they departed.

Narrated Salim:
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ عَطِشَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ رَكْوَةٌ، فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهَا، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ نَحْوَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" مَا لَكُمْ ". قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا مَاءٌ نَتَوَضَّأُ بِهِ، وَلاَ نَشْرَبُ إِلاَّ مَا فِي رَكْوَتِكَ. قَالَ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدَهُ فِي الرَّكْوَةِ، فَجَعَلَ الْمَاءُ يَفُورُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ كَأَمْثَالِ الْعُيُونِ، قَالَ فَشَرِبْنَا وَتَوَضَّأْنَا. فَقُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ لَوْ كُنَّا مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ لَكَفَانَا، كُنَّا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً.
Jabir said "On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, the people felt thirsty and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had a utensil
containing water. He performer ablution from it and then the people came towards him. Allah's
Apostle said, 'What is wrong with you?' The people said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We haven't got any water
to perform ablution with or to drink, except what you have in your utensil.' So the Prophet (ﷺ) put his
hand in the utensil and the water started spouting out between his fingers like springs. So we drank
and performed ablution." I said to Jabir, "What was your number on that day?" He replied, "Even if
we had been one hundred thousand, that water would have been sufficient for us. Anyhow, we were
1500.'
I said to Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab, "I have been informed that Jabir bin `Abdullah said that the number
(of Al-Hudaibiya Muslim warriors) was 1400." Sa`id said to me, "Jabir narrated to me that they were
1500 who gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of Al-Hudaibiya.'

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ
" أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ ". وَكُنَّا أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ أُبْصِرُ الْيَوْمَ لأَرَيْتُكُمْ مَكَانَ الشَّجَرَةِ. تَابَعَهُ الأَعْمَشُ سَمِعَ سَالِمًا سَمِعَ جَابِرًا أَلْفًا وَأَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ.
On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us' "You are the best people on the earth!" We
were 1400 then. If I could see now, I would have shown you the place of the Tree (beneath which we gave the
Pledge of Allegiance)." Salim said, "Our number was 1400."
`Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa
said, "The people (who gave the Pledge of allegiance) under the Tree numbered 1300 and the number of Bani Aslam was 1/8 of the Emigrants."
Who was among those (who had given the Pledge of allegiance) under the Tree: Pious people will die
in succession, and there will remain the dregs of society who will be like the useless residues of dates
and barley and Allah will pay no attention to them.
The Prophet (ﷺ) went out in the company of 1300 to 1500 of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya,
and when they reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he garlanded and marked his Hadi and assumed the state of
Ihram.

Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi) - كتاب المغازى
Narrated Ka`b bin Ujra:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، وَرْقَاءَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَآهُ وَقَمْلُهُ يَسْقُطُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ
" أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ ". قَالَ نَعَمْ. فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَحْلِقَ وَهْوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، لَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحِلُّونَ بِهَا، وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْفِدْيَةَ، فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُطْعِمَ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ، أَوْ يُهْدِيَ شَاةً، أَوْ يَصُومَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ.
That Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him with the lice falling (from his head) on his face. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"Are your lice troubling you? Ka`b said, "Yes." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) thus ordered him to shave his head
while he was at Al-Hudaibiya. Up to then there was no indication that all of them would finish their
state of Ihram and they hoped that they would enter Mecca. Then the order of Al-Fidya was revealed,
so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered Ka`b to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or slaughter a sheep
or fast for three days.
Once I went with `Umar bin Al-Khattab to the market. A young woman followed `Umar and said, "O
chief of the believers! My husband has died, leaving little children. By Allah, they have not even a
sheep's trotter to cook; they have no farms or animals. I am afraid that they may die because of
hunger, and I am the daughter of Khufaf bin Ima Al-Ghafari, and my father witnessed the Pledge of
allegiance) of Al-Hudaibiya with the Prophet.' `Umar stopped and did not proceed, and said, "I
welcome my near relative." Then he went towards a strong camel which was tied in the house, and
carried on to it, two sacks he had loaded with food grains and put between them money and clothes
and gave her its rope to hold and said, "Lead it, and this provision will not finish till Allah gives you a
good supply." A man said, "O chief of the believers! You have given her too much." "`Umar said
disapprovingly. "May your mother be bereaved of you! By Allah, I have seen her father and brother
besieging a fort for a long time and conquering it, and then we were discussing what their shares they
would have from that war booty."
That his father said, "I saw the Tree (of the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance and when I returned to it
later, I was not able to recognize it. (The sub--narrator MahmiJd said, Al-Musaiyab said, 'Then; forgot
it (i.e., the Tree).)"

Narrated Tariq bin `Abdur-Rahman:
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ حَاجًّا فَمَرَرْتُ بِقَوْمٍ يُصَلُّونَ قُلْتُ مَا هَذَا الْمَسْجِدُ قَالُوا هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةُ، حَيْثُ بَايَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْعَةَ الرُّضْوَانِ. فَأَتَيْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِيمَنْ بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ، قَالَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ نَسِينَاهَا، فَلَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهَا. فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يَعْلَمُوهَا وَعَلِمْتُمُوهَا أَنْتُمْ، فَأَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ.
When I set out for Hajj, I passed by some people offering a prayer, I asked, "What is this mosque?"
They said, "This is the Tree where Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance. Then I
went to Sa`id bin Musaiyab and informed him about it. Sa`id said, "My father said that he was
amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) beneath the Tree. He (i.e. my
father) said, "When we set out the following year, we forgot the Tree and were unable to recognize it.
"Then Sa`id said (perhaps ironically) "The companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) could not recognize it;
nevertheless, you do recognize it; therefore you have a better knowledge."
That his father was amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) beneath
the Tree, and the next year when they went towards the Tree, they were not able to recognize it.
(The tree where the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance was taken by the Prophet) was mentioned before
Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab. On that he smiled and said, "My father informed me (about it) and he had
witnessed it (i.e. the Pledge) ."

(Who was one of those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) beneath the Tree) When
the people brought Sadaqa (i.e. rak`at) to the Prophet (ﷺ) he used to say, "O Allah! Bless them with your
Mercy." Once my father came with his Sadaqa to him whereupon he (i.e. the Prophet) said. "O Allah!
Bless the family of Abu `Aufa."
When it was the day (of the battle) of Al-Harra the people were giving Pledge of allegiance to
`Abdullah bin Hanzala. Ibn Zaid said, "For what are the people giving Pledge of allegiance to
`Abdullah bin Hanzala?" It was said to him, "For death." Ibn Zaid said, "I will never give the Pledge
of allegiance for that to anybody else after Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." Ibn Zaid was one of those who had
witnessed the day of Al-Hudaibiya with the Prophet.

My father who was amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) beneath the

I met Al-Bara bin `Azib and said (to him). "May you live prosperously! You enjoyed the company of

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

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَسِيرُ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ، وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَسِيرُ مَعَهُ لَيْلاً، فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ شَىْءٍ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ وَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا عُمَرُ، نَزَرْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لاَ يُجِيبُكَ. قَالَ عُمَرُ فَحَرَّكْتُ بَعِيرِي ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمْتُ أَمَامَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ، فَمَا نَشِبْتُ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ صَارِخًا يَصْرُخُ بِي ـ قَالَ ـ فَقُلْتُ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ. وَجِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ " لَقَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَىَّ اللَّيْلَةَ سُورَةٌ لَهِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا}."
My father said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was proceeding at night on one of his journeys and `Umar bin Al-
Khattab was going along with him. `Umar bin Al-Khattab asked him (about something) but Allah's
Apostle did not answer him. `Umar asked him again, but he did not answer him. He asked him again
(for the third time) but he did not answer him. On that `Umar bin Al-Khattab addressed himself
saying, "May your mother be bereaved of you, O `Umar, for you have asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) thrice,
yet he has not answered you." `Umar said, "Then I made my camel run fast and took it in front of the
other Muslims, and I was afraid that something might be revealed in my connection. I had hardly
waited for a moment when I heard somebody calling me. I said, 'I was afraid that something might
have been revealed about me.' Then I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and greeted him. He (i.e. the Prophet)
said, 'Tonight there has been revealed to me, a Sura which is dearer to me than (all the world) on
which the sun rises,' and then he recited: 'Verily! We have granted you (O Muhammad) A manifest
victory." (48.1)
(one of them said more than his friend): The Prophet (ﷺ) set out in the company of more than onethousand
of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and when he reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he
garlanded his Hadi (i.e. sacrificing animal), assumed the state of Ihram for `Umra from that place and
sent a spy of his from Khuzaa'ah (tribe). The Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded on till he reached (a village called)
Ghadir-al-Ashtat. There his spy came and said, "The Quraish (infidels) have collected a great number
of people against you, and they have collected against you the Ethiopians, and they will fight with
you, and will stop you from entering the Ka`ba and prevent you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O people! Give
me your opinion. Do you recommend that I should destroy the families and offspring of those who
want to stop us from the Ka`ba? If they should come to us (for peace) then Allah will destroy a spy
from the pagans, or otherwise we will leave them in a miserable state." On that Abu Bakr said, "O
Allah Apostle! You have come with the intention of visiting this House (i.e. Ka`ba) and you do not
want to kill or fight anybody. So proceed to it, and whoever should stop us from it, we will fight him."
On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Proceed on, in the Name of Allah !"

Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ، وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ، يُخْبِرَانِ خَبَرًا مِنْ خَبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي عُمْرَةِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَكَانَ فِيمَا أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّهُ لَمَّا كَاتَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُهَيْلَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ عَلَى قَضِيَّةِ الْمُدَّةِ، وَكَانَ فِيمَا اشْتَرَطَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَنَّهُ قَالَ لاَ يَأْتِيكَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَى دِينِكَ إِلاَّ رَدَدْتَهُ إِلَيْنَا، وَخَلَّيْتَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ. وَأَبَى سُهَيْلٌ أَنْ يُقَاضِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، فَكَرِهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ذَلِكَ وَامَّعَضُوا، فَتَكَلَّمُوا فِيهِ، فَلَمَّا أَبَى سُهَيْلٌ أَنْ يُقَاضِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، كَاتَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَبَا جَنْدَلِ بْنَ سُهَيْلٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَى أَبِيهِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، وَلَمْ يَأْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَحَدٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ إِلاَّ رَدَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْمُدَّةِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا، وَجَاءَتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ، فَكَانَتْ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ مُعَيْطٍ مِمَّنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْىَ عَاتِقٌ، فَجَاءَ أَهْلُهَا يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَرْجِعَهَا إِلَيْهِمْ، حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مَا أَنْزَلَ.
That he heard Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama relating one of the events that
happened to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the `Umra of Al-Hudaibiya. They said, "When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
concluded the truce with Suhail bin `Amr on the day of Al-Hudaibiya, one of the conditions which
Suhail bin `Amr stipulated, was his saying (to the Prophet), "If anyone from us (i.e. infidels) ever
comes to you, though he has embraced your religion, you should return him to us, and should not
interfere between us and him." Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) except on
this condition. The believers disliked this condition and got disgusted with it and argued about it. But
when Suhail refused to conclude the truce with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) except on that condition, Allah's
Apostle concluded it. Accordingly, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then returned Abu Jandal bin Suhail to his father,
Suhail bin `Amr, and returned every man coming to him from them during that period even if he was a
Muslim. The believing women Emigrants came (to Medina) and Um Kulthum, the daughter of `Uqba
bin Abi Mu'ait was one of those who came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and she was an adult at that time. Her
relatives came, asking Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to return her to them, and in this connection, Allah revealed the
Verses dealing with the believing (women).

Aisha said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to test all the believing
women who migrated to him, with the following Verse:
قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَمْتَحِنُ مَنْ هَاجَرَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ {يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ}. وَعَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ بَلَغَنَا حِينَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَا أَنْفَقُوا عَلَى مَنْ هَاجَرَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ، وَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ أَبَا بَصِيرٍ. فَذَكَرَهُ بِطُولِهِ.
-- "O Prophet! When the believing Women
come to you, to give the pledge of allegiance to you." (60.12)
`Urwa's uncle said, "We were informed when Allah ordered His Apostle to return to the pagans what
they had given to their wives who lately migrated (to Medina) and we were informed that Abu
Basir..." relating the whole narration.

Narrated Nafi`:
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ خَرَجَ مُعْتَمِرًا فِي الْفِتْنَةِ فَقَالَ إِنْ صُدِدْتُ عَنِ الْبَيْتِ، صَنَعْنَا كَمَا صَنَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. فَأَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ أَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ.
`Abdullah bin `Umar set out for Umra during the period of afflictions, and he said, "If I should be
stopped from visiting the Ka`ba, I will do what we did when we were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He
assumed Ihram for `Umra in the year of Al-Hudaibiya.
Ibn `Umar assumed Ihram and said, "If something should intervene between me and the Ka`ba, then I
will do what the Prophet (ﷺ) did when the Quraish infidels intervened between him and (the Ka`ba). Then
Ibn `Umar recited: "You have indeed in Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) A good example to follow." (33.21)
One of `Abdullah's sons said to `Abdullah (bin `Umar) "I wish you would stay this year (and not
perform Hajj) as I am afraid that you will not be able to reach the Ka`ba." On that he (i.e. `Abdullah
bin `Umar) said, "We went out with the Prophet (for `Umra), and when the Quraish infidel intervened
between us and the Ka`ba, the Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered his Hadi and shaved (his head), and his
companions cut short their hair." Then `Abdullah bin `Umar said, "I make you witness that I have
intended to perform `Umra and if I am allowed to reach the Ka`ba, I will perform the Tawaf, and if
something (i.e. obstacles) intervene between me and the Ka`ba, then I will do what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
did." Then after going for a while, he said, "I consider the ceremonies (of both `Umra and Hajj as one
and the same, so I would like you to witness that I have intended to perform Hajj along with my
`Umra." So he performed only one Tawaf and one Sai (between Safa and Marwa) and finished the
Ihram of both Umra and Hajj).

Narrated Nafi`:
حَدَّثَنِي شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، سَمِعَ النَّضْرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا صَخْرٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، أَسْلَمَ قَبْلَ عُمَرَ، وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنْ عُمَرُ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَرْسَلَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يَأْتِي بِهِ لِيُقَاتِلَ عَلَيْهِ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُبَايِعُ عِنْدَ الشَّجَرَةِ، وَعُمَرُ لاَ يَدْرِي بِذَلِكَ، فَبَايَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى الْفَرَسِ، فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ، وَعُمَرُ يَسْتَلْئِمُ لِلْقِتَالِ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُبَايِعُ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ ـ قَالَ ـ فَانْطَلَقَ فَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَهِيَ الَّتِي يَتَحَدَّثُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ أَسْلَمَ قَبْلَ عُمَرَ.
The people used to say that Ibn `Umar had embraced Islam before `Umar. This is not true. What
happened is that `Umar sent `Abdullah to bring his horse from an Ansari man so as to fight on it. At
that time the people were giving the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) near the Tree, and `Umar
was not aware of that. So `Abdullah (bin `Umar) gave the Pledge of Allegiance (to the Prophet) and
went to take the horse and brought it to `Umar. While `Umar was putting on the armor to get ready for
fighting, `Abdullah informed him that the people were giving the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's
Apostle beneath the Tree. So `Umar set out and `Abdullah accompanied him till he gave the Pledge of
allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and it was this event that made people say that Ibn `Umar had embraced
Islam before `Umar.

`Abdullah bin `Umar added:
وَقَالَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعُمَرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّاسَ، كَانُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، تَفَرَّقُوا فِي ظِلاَلِ الشَّجَرِ، فَإِذَا النَّاسُ مُحْدِقُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، انْظُرْ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ قَدْ أَحْدَقُوا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَوَجَدَهُمْ يُبَايِعُونَ، فَبَايَعَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَخَرَجَ فَبَايَعَ.
"The people were along with the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day
of Al-Hudaibiya spreading in the shade of the trees. Suddenly the people surrounded the Prophet (ﷺ) and
started looking at him." `Umar said, "O `Abdullah! Go and see why the people are encircling Allah's
Apostle and looking at him." `Abdullah bin `Umar then saw the people giving the Pledge o allegiance
to the Prophet. So he also gave the Pledge of allegiance and returned to `Umar who went out in his
turn and gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet.'

Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi `Aufa:
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ اعْتَمَرَ فَطَافَ فَطُفْنَا مَعَهُ، وَصَلَّى وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ، وَسَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ، فَكُنَّا نَسْتُرُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، لاَ يُصِيبُهُ أَحَدٌ بِشَىْءٍ.
We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) when he performed the `Umra. He performed the Tawaf and
we did the same; he offered the prayer and we also offered the prayer with him. Then he performed
the Sai between Safa and Marwa and we were guarding him against the people of Mecca so that
nobody should harm him.
When Sahl bin Hunaif returned from (the battle of) Siffin, we went to ask him (as to why he had come
back). He replied, "(You should not consider me a coward) but blame your opinions. I saw myself on
the day of Abu Jandal (inclined to fight), and if I had the power of refusing the order of Allah's
Apostle then, I would have refused it (and fought the infidels bravely). Allah and His Apostle know
(what is convenient) better. Whenever we put our swords on our shoulders for any matter that terrified
us, our swords led us to an easy agreeable solution before the present situation (of disagreement and
dispute between the Muslims). When we mend the breach in one side, it opened in another, and we do
not know what to do about it."

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

poor, Or offering a sacrifice." (2.196)

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