Narrated Imrān bin Huṣain رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "The best of my followers are those living in my century (generation), then those coming after them and then those coming after the latter". Imrān added, "I do not remember whether he mentioned two or three centuries (generations) after his century (generation), then the Prophet ﷺ added, "There will come after you, people who will bear witness without being asked to give witness, and they will be dishonest and not trustworthy, and they will vow and will not fulfil their vows; and fatness will appear among them."

3652. Narrated Al-Barā': Abū Bakr رضي الله عنه bought a (camel) saddle from 'Āzib for thirteen Dirham. Abū Bakr said to 'Āzib, "Tell Al-Barā' to carry the saddle for me." 'Āzib said, "No, unless you relate to me what happened to you and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ when you left Makkah while Al-Mushrikūn were in search of you." Abū Bakr said, "We left Makkah and we travelled continuously for that night and the following day till it was midday. I looked (around) searching for shade to take as shelter, and suddenly I came across a rock, and found a little shade there. So I cleaned the place and spread a bed for the Prophet ﷺ in the shade and said to him, 'Lie down, O Allāh's Messenger.' So the Prophet ﷺ lay down and I went out, looking around to see if there was any person pursuing us. Suddenly I saw a shepherd driving his sheep towards the rock, seeking what we had already sought from it. I asked him, 'To whom do you belong, O boy?' He said, 'I belong to a man from Quraish.' He named the man and I recognized him. I asked him, 'Is there any milk with your sheep?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Will you then milk (some) for us?' He said, 'Yes.' Then I asked him to tie the legs of one of the ewe and clean its udder, and then ordered him to clean his hands from dust. Then the shepherd cleaned his hands by striking his hands against one another. After doing so, he milked a small amount of milk. I used to keep for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ a leather water-container, the mouth of which was covered with a piece of cloth. I poured water on the milk container till its lower part was cold. Then I took the milk to the Prophet ﷺ, whom I found awake. I said to him, 'Drink, O Allāh's Messenger.' So he drank till I became pleased. Then I said, 'It is time for us to move, O Allāh's Messenger!' He said, 'Yes.' So we set out while the people (i.e., Quraish Mushrikūn) were searching for us, but none found us except Surāqa bin Mālik bin Ju'shum who was riding his horse. I said, 'These are our pursuers who have found us, O Allāh's Messenger!' He said, 'Do not be sad (or afraid), surely, Allāh is with us.'" [See Vol. 4, Hadīth No.3615].

3654. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: Allah's Messenger ﷺ addressed the people saying, "Allah gave a choice to one of (His) slave to choose this world or what is with Him. The slave chose what is with Allah." Abū Bakr wept, and we were astonished at his weeping caused by what the Prophet ﷺ mentioned as to a slave (of Allah) who had been offered a choice, (we learned later on) that Allah's Messenger ﷺ himself was the person who was given the choice, and that Abū Bakr knew more than us. Allah's Messenger ﷺ added, "Abū Bakr has favoured me much with his company and property (wealth) more than anybody else. If I were to take a Khalīl(1) other than my Lord, I would have taken Abū Bakr, but the Islāmic brotherhood and friendship is sufficient. Close all the gates in the mosque except the gate of Abū Bakr." [See Vol. 1, Hadīth No. 466]

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Your companion has had a quarrel." Abū Bakr greeted (the Prophet ﷺ) and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! There was something (i.e., quarrel) between me and the son of Al-Khaṭṭāb. I talked to him harshly and then regretted that, and requested him to forgive me, but he refused. This is why I have come to you." The Prophet ﷺ said thrice, "O Abū Bakr! May Allāh forgive you." In the meanwhile, 'Umar regretted (his refusal of Abū Bakr's excuse) and went to Abū Bakr's house and asked if Abū Bakr was there. They replied in the negative. So he came to the Prophet ﷺ and greeted him, but signs of displeasure appeared on the face of the Prophet ﷺ till Abū Bakr pitied ('Umar), so he knelt and said twice, "O Allāh's Messenger! By Allāh! I was more unjust to him (than he was to me)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh sent me (as a Prophet) to you (people) but you said (to me), 'You are telling a lie,' while Abū Bakr (believed in me and) said (to the people), 'He has said the truth,' and consoled me with himself and his money."

3668. (‘Ā’ishah added :) Abū Bakr praised and glorified Allāh and said, “No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muḥammad (ﷺ), then Muḥammad ﷺ is dead, but whoever worshipped Allāh, then Allāh is Alive and shall never die.” Then he recited Allāh’s Statement: “Verily, you (O Muḥammad ﷺ) will die, and verily, they (too) will die.” (V.39:30) He also recited: “Muḥammad (ﷺ) is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him, If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allāh, and Allāh will give reward to those who are grateful.” (V.3:144) The people wept loudly, and the Anṣār had assembled with Sa’d bin ‘Ubāda in the shed of Banī Sā’ida. They said (to the emigrants). “There should be one ‘Amīr (ruler, leader etc.) from us and one from you.” Then Abū Bakr, ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb and Abū ‘Ubaida bin Al-Jarrāh went to them. ‘Umar wanted to speak but Abū Bakr stopped him. ‘Umar later on used to say, “By Allāh, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abū Bakr would not speak so well.” Then Abū Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, “We are the rulers and you (Anṣār) are the ministers”. Ḥubāb bin Al-Mundhir said, “No, by Allāh we won’t accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you.” Abū Bakr said, “No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers, for they (i.e., Quraish) are the best family amongst the Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abū 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrāh as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abū Bakr), "No, but we elect you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved from all of us to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." So, 'Umar took Abū Bakr's hand and gave the Bai'a (pledge), and the people too gave the Bai'a to Abū Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sa'd bin Ubāda." 'Umar said, "Allāh has killed him."

Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ stayed there to search for it and the people too stopped with him. There was no water at that place and they had no water with them. So, they went to Abū Bakr and said, “Don’t you see what ‘Aishah has done? She has made Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and the people stop where there is no water and they have no water with them.” Abū Bakr came while Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ was sleeping with his head on my thigh, and said, “You have detained Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and the people where there is no water and they have no water.” He then admonished me and said what Allāh wished him to say and pinched me at my flanks with his hand. Nothing prevented me from moving (because of pain) but the position of Allāh’s Messenger on my thigh. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ woke up when dawn broke and there was no water. Then Allāh revealed the Divine Verses of Tayammum, and the people performed Tayammum. Usaid bin Al-Ḥuṣair said, “O family of Abū Bakr! This is not the first blessings of yours.” Then the camel on which I was riding was caused to move from its place and the necklace was found beneath it. [See Vol. 1, Hadīth No. 334]

3674. Narrated Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'arī رضي الله عنه: I performed ablution in my house and then went out and said, "Today I shall stick to (or remain constantly with) Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and stay with him all this day of mine (in his service)." I went to the mosque and asked about the Prophet ﷺ. They said, "He had gone in this direction." So I followed his way, asking about him till he entered a place called Bi'r Arīs. I sat at its gate that was made of date-palm leaves till the Prophet ﷺ finished answering the call of nature and performed ablution. Then I went up to him to see him sitting at the well of Arīs at the middle of its edge with his legs uncovered, hanging in the well. I greeted him and went back and sat at the gate. I said, "Today I will be the gatekeeper of the Prophet ﷺ.” Abū Bakr came and pushed the gate. I asked, “Who is it?” He said, “Abu Bakr.” I told him to wait, went in and said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Abū Bakr asks the permission to enter.” He said, “Admit him and give him the glad tidings that he will enter Paradise.” So I went out and said to Abū Bakr, “Come in, and Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ gives you the glad tidings that you will enter Paradise.” Abū Bakr entered and sat on the right side of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ on the built edge of the well and hung his legs in the well as the Prophet ﷺ did, and uncovered his legs. I, then returned and sat (at the gate). I had left my brother performing ablution and he intended to follow me. So I said (to myself), “If Allāh wants good for so-and-so (i.e., my brother), He will bring him here.” Suddenly somebody moved the door. I asked, “Who is it?” He said, “Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb.” I asked him to wait, went to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ, greeted him and said, “Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb asks the permission to enter.” He said, “Admit him, and give him the glad tidings that he will enter Paradise.” I went to ‘Umar and said, “Come in, and Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ gives you glad tidings that you will enter Paradise.” So, he entered and sat beside Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ on the built edge of the well on the left side and hung his legs in the well. I returned and sat (at the gate) and said, (to myself), “If Allāh wants good for so-and-so, He will bring him here.” Somebody came and moved the door. I asked “Who is it?” He replied, “‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān.” I asked him to wait and went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He said, “Admit him, and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise after a calamity that will befall him.” So, I went up to him and said to him, “Come in, Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ gives you the glad tidings of entering Paradise after a calamity that will befall you.” ‘Uthmān then came in and found that the built edge of the well was occupied, so he sat opposite to the Prophet ﷺ on the other side. Sa‘īd bin Al-Musaiyab said, “I interpret this (narration) in terms of their graves.”

You have more right to be feared by them than I." Then 'Umar addressed the women saying, "O enemies of yourselves! You fear me more than you fear Allāh's Messenger ﷺ?" They replied, "Yes, for you are harsher and sterner than Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "O Ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb! By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! Never does Satan find you going on a way, but he takes you to any other than yours."

3696. Narrated 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Adī bin Al-Khiyār: Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abd Yaghūth said (to me), "What forbids you to talk to 'Uthmān about his brother Al-Walīd because people have talked much about him?" So, I went to 'Uthmān and when he went out for Salāt (prayer) I said (to him), "I have something to say to you and it is a piece of advice for you.” ‘Uthmān said, “O man, from you.” (Ma’mar said: I see that he said, “I seek refuge with Allāh from you.”) So I left him and went to them. Then the messenger of ‘Uthmān came and I went to him (i.e., ‘Uthmān), ‘Uthmān asked, “What is your advice?” I replied, “Allāh sent Muḥammad ﷺ with the Truth, and revealed the Divine Book (i.e., the Qur’ān) to him, and you were amongst those who followed Allāh and His Messenger, and you participated in the two emigrations (to Ethiopia and to Al-Madīna) and enjoyed the company of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and saw his way. No doubt, the people are talking much about Al-Walīd.” ‘Uthmān said, “Did you receive your knowledge directly from Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ?” I said, “No, but his knowledge did reach me and it reached (even) to a virgin in her seclusion.” ‘Uthmān said, “Amma Ba’dū” (then after), Allāh sent Muḥammad ﷺ with the Truth, and I was amongst those who followed Allāh and His Messenger and I believed in whatever he (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ) was sent with, and participated in two emigrations, as you have said, and I enjoyed the company of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and gave the Bai’a (pledge) to him. By Allāh! I never disobeyed him, nor did I cheat him till Allāh took him unto Him. Then I treated Abū Bakr and then ‘Umar similarly and then I was made caliph. So, don’t I have rights similar to theirs?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Then what are these talks reaching me from you people? Now, concerning what you mentioned about the question of Al-Walīd, if Allāh will, I shall deal with him according to what is right.” Then he called ‘Alī and ordered him to flog him, and ‘Alī flogged him (i.e., Al-Walīd) eighty lashes.

3699. Narrated 'Uthmān, the son of Mauhab: An Egyptian who came and performed the Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House (Ka'bah at Makkah) saw some people sitting. He enquired, "Who are these people?" Somebody said, "They are the Quraish." He said, "Who is the old man sitting amongst them?" The people replied, "He is 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar." He said, "O Ibn 'Umar! I want to ask you about something; please tell me about it. Do you know that 'Uthmān fled away on the day (of the battle) of Uhud?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." The (Egyptian) man said, "Do you know that 'Uthmān was absent on the day (of the battle) of Badr and did not join it?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." The man said, "Do you know that he failed to attend Ar-Ridwān Pledge and did not witness it (i.e., Hudaibiya Pledge)?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." The man said, "Allāhu Akbar!" Ibn 'Umar said, "Let me explain to you (all these three things). As for his flight on the day of Uhud, I testify that Allāh has excused him and forgiven him; and as for his absence from the (battle of) Badr, it was due to the fact that the daughter of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was his wife and she was sick then, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to him, 'You will receive the same reward and share (of the booty) as anyone of those who participated in the battle of Badr (if you stay with her).' As for his absence from Ar-Ridwān Pledge, had there been any person in Makkah more respectable than 'Uthmān (to be sent as a representative), Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would have sent him instead of him. No doubt, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had sent him, and the incident of Ar-Ridwān Pledge happened after 'Uthmān had gone to Makkah. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ held out his right hand saying, 'This is 'Uthmān's hand.' He stroke his (other) hand with it saying, 'This (pledge) is on behalf of 'Uthmān.'" Then Ibn 'Umar said to the man, "Bear (these) excuses in mind with you."(1) Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ascended the (mountain) of Uhud with Abū Bakr, 'Umar and 'Uthmān and it shook. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Be calm, O Uḥud!" I think he struck it with his foot and added, "There is none on you but a Prophet, a Ṣiddīq, and two martyrs."

3700. Narrated 'Amr bin Maimūn: I saw 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه a few days before he was stabbed in Al-Madīna. He was standing with Hudhaifa bin Al-Yamān and 'Uthmān bin Hunaif to whom he said, "What have you done? Do you think that you have imposed more taxation on the land [of As-Swad (i.e., 'Irāq)] than it can bear?" They replied, "We have imposed on it what it can bear because of its great yield." 'Umar again said, "Check whether you have imposed on the land what it can not bear." They said, "No, (we haven't)." 'Umar added, "If Allāh should keep me alive I will let the widows of 'Irāq need no men to support them after me." But only four days had elapsed when he was stabbed (to death). The day he was stabbed, I was standing and there was nobody between me and him (i.e., 'Umar) except 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās. Whenever 'Umar passed between the two rows, he would say, "Stand in straight lines." When he saw no defect (in the rows), he would go forward and start the Ṣalāt (prayer) with Takbīr. He would recite Sūrat Yūsuf or An-Nahl or the like in the first Rak'a so that the people may have the time to join the Ṣalāt (prayer). As soon as he said Takbīr, I heard him saying, "The dog has killed or eaten me," at the time he (i.e., the murderer) stabbed him. A non-Arab infidel proceeded on, carrying a double-edged knife and stabbing all the persons he passed by on the right and left (till) he stabbed thirteen persons out of whom seven died. When one of the Muslims saw that, he threw a cloak on him. Realising that he had been captured, the non-Arab infidel killed himself. 'Umar held the hand of 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Aūf and let him lead the Ṣalāt (prayer). Those who were standing by the side of 'Umar saw what I saw, but the people who were in the other parts of the mosque did not see anything, but they lost the voice of 'Umar and they were saying, "Subḥān Allāh! Subḥān Allāh!" (i.e. Glorified be Allāh)." 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Aūf led the people in a short Ṣalāt (prayer). When they finished the Ṣalāt (prayer), 'Umar said, "O Ibn 'Abbās! Find out who attacked me." Ibn 'Abbās kept on looking here and there for a short time and came to say, "The slave of Al-Muḡhīra." On that 'Umar said, "The craftsman?" Ibn 'Abbās said, "Yes." 'Umar said, "May Allāh curse him. I did not treat him unjustly. All the praises and thanks be to Allāh Who has not caused me to die at the hands of a man who claims himself to be a Muslim. No doubt, you and your father (Abbās) used to love to have more non-Arab infidels in Al-Madīna." Al-'Abbās had the greatest number of slaves. Ibn 'Abbās said to 'Umar, "If you wish, we will do." He meant, "If you wish we will kill them." 'Umar said, "You are mistaken (for you can't kill them) after they have spoken your language, offered prayers towards your Qiblah, and performed Hajj like yours." Then 'Umar was carried to his house, and we went along with him, and the people were as if they had never suffered any calamity before that day. Some said, "Do not worry (he will be alright soon)." Some said, "We are afraid (that he will die).” Then an infusion of dates was brought to him and he drank it but it came out (of the wound) of his belly. Then milk was brought to him and he drank it, and it also came out of his belly. The people realised that he would die. We went to him, and the people came, praising him. A young man came saying, “O chief of the believers! Receive the glad tidings from Allāh to you due to your company with Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and your superiority in Islām which you know. Then you became the ruler (i.e., caliph) and you ruled with justice and finally you have been martyred.” ‘Umar said, “I wish that all these privileges will counterbalance (my shortcomings) so that I will neither lose nor gain anything.” When the young man turned back to leave, his clothes seemed to be touching the ground. ‘Umar said, “Call the young man back to me.” (When he came back) ‘Umar said, “O son of my brother! Lift your clothes, for this will keep your clothes clean and save you from the punishment of your Lord.” ‘Umar further said, “O ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar! See how much I am in debt to others.” When the debt was checked, it amounted to approximately eighty-six thousand. ‘Umar said, “If the property of ‘Umar’s family covers the debt, then pay the debt thereof; otherwise request it from Banī ‘Adī bin Ka’b, and if that too, is not sufficient, ask for it from Quraish tribe, and do not ask for it from anyone else, and pay this debt on my behalf.” ‘Umar then said (to ‘Abdullāh), “Go to ‘Aishah (Mother of the believers) and say: ‘Umar is paying his salutation to you.’ But don’t say: chief of the believers, because today I am not chief of the believers. And say: ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb asks the permission to be buried with his two companions (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr).” Abdullah greeted ‘Aishah and asked for the permission for entering, and then entered to her and found her sitting and weeping. He said to her, “Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb is paying his salutations to you, and asks the permission to be buried with his two companions.” She said, “I had the idea of having this place for myself, but today I prefer ‘Umar to myself.” When he returned it was said (to ‘Umar), “Abdullah bin ‘Umar has come.” ‘Umar said, “Make me sit up.” Somebody supported him against his body and ‘Umar asked (Abdullah), “What news do you have?” He said, “O chief of the believers! It is as you wish. She has given the permission.” ‘Umar said, “Praise be to Allāh, there was nothing more important to me than this. So when I die, take me, and greet ‘Aishah and say: “‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb asks the permission (to be buried with the Prophet ﷺ), and if she gives the permission, bury me there, and if she refuses, then take me to the graveyard of the Muslims.” Then Ḥafṣa (the Mother of the believers) came with many other women walking with her. When we saw her, we went away. She went in (to ‘Umar) and wept there for sometime. When the men asked for permission to enter, she went into another place, and we heard her weeping inside. The people said (to ‘Umar), “O chief of the believers! Appoint a successor.” ‘Umar said, “I do not find anyone more suitable for the job than the following persons, or group, whom Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ had been pleased with before he died.” Then ‘Umar mentioned ‘Ali, ‘Uthmān, Az-Zubair, Ṭalḥa, Sa’d and ‘Abdur-Raḥmān (bin ‘Aūf) and said, “Abdullah bin ‘Umar will be a witness to you, but he will have no share in the rule. His being a witness will compensate him for not sharing the right of ruling. If Sa’d becomes the ruler, it will be alright; otherwise, whoever becomes the ruler should seek his help, as I have not dismissed him because of incompetence or dishonesty." 'Umar added, "I recommend that my successor takes care of the early emigrants; to know their rights and protect their honour and sacred things. I also recommend that he be kind to the Anṣār who had lived in Al-Madīna before the emigrants and Belief had entered their hearts before them. I recommend that the (ruler) should accept the good of the righteous among them and excuse their wrongdoers, and I recommend that he should do good to all the people of the towns (Al-Anṣār), as they are the protectors of Islām and the source of wealth and the source of annoyance to the enemy. I also recommend that nothing be taken from them except from their surplus with their consent. I also recommend that he do good to the Al-Arāb (Arab bedouins), as they are the origin of the Arabs and the material of Islām. He should take from what is inferior, amongst their properties and distribute that to the poor amongst them. I also recommend him concerning Allāh's and His Messenger's protectees (i.e., Dhimmi) to fulfil their contracts and to fight for them and not to overburden them with what is beyond their ability." So when 'Umar expired, we carried him out and set out walking. 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar greeted ('Aishah) and said, " 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb asks for the permission." 'Aishah said, "Bring him in." He was brought in and buried beside his two companions. When he was buried, the group (recommended by 'Umar) held a meeting. Then 'Abdur-Raḥmān said, "Reduce the candidates for rulership to three of you." Az-Zubair said, "I give up my right to 'Ali.' Ṭalḥa said, "I give up my right to 'Uthmān," Sa'd said, "I give up my right to 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Aūf." 'Abdur-Raḥmān then said (to 'Uthmān and 'Ali), "Now which of you is willing to give up his right of candidacy so that he may choose the better of the two, bearing in mind that Allāh will be his witness and so will be Islām." So both the sheikhs (i.e., 'Uthmān and 'Ali) Kept silent. 'Abdur-Raḥmān said, "Will you both leave this matter to me, and I take Allāh as my Witness that I will not choose but the better of you?" They said, "Yes." So 'Abdur-Raḥmān took the hand of one of them (i.e., 'Ali) and said, "You are related to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and one of the earliest Muslims, as you know well. So, I ask you by Allāh to promise that if I select you as a ruler you will do justice, and if I select 'Uthmān as a ruler, you will listen to him and obey him." Then he took the other (i.e., 'Uthmān) aside and said the same to him. When 'Abdur-Raḥmān secured (their agreement to) this covenant, he said, "O 'Uthmān! Raise your hand." So he (i.e., 'Abdur-Raḥmān) gave him (i.e., 'Uthmān) the Bai'a (pledge), and then 'Ali gave him the Bai'a and then all the people of Al-Madina gave him the Bai'a.

3701. Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man with whose leadership Allāh will grant (the Muslims) victory." So the people kept on thinking the whole night as to who would be given the flag. The next morning the people went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and everyone of them hoped that he would be given the flag. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Where is 'Ali bin Abi Ṭalib?" The people replied, "He is suffering from eye trouble, O Allāh's Messenger". He said, "Send for him and bring him to me." So when 'Ali came, the Prophet ﷺ spat in his eyes and invoked good on him, and he became alright as if he had had no ailment. The Prophet ﷺ then gave him the flag. 'Ali said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Shall I fight them (i.e., enemy) till they become like us?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Proceed to them steadily till you approach near to them and then invite them to Islām, and inform them of their duties towards Allāh which Islām prescribed for them, for by Allāh, if one man is guided on the right path (i.e., converted to Islām) through you it would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels."

3702. Narrated Salama: 'Ali happened to stay behind the Prophet ﷺ and (did not join him) during the battle of Khaiibar for he was having eye trouble. Then he said, "How could I remain behind Allāh's Messenger?" So, 'Ali set out following the Prophet ﷺ. When it was the eve of the day in the morning of which Allāh helped (the Muslims) to conquer it, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "I will give the flag (to a man), or tomorrow a man whom Allāh and His Messenger love will take the flag," or said, "A man who loves Allāh and His Messenger; and Allāh will grant victory under his leadership.” Suddenly ‘Ali came whom we did not expect. The people said, “This is ‘Ali.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ gave him the flag and Allāh granted victory under his leadership.

Narrated Abū Hāzim: A man came to Sahl bin Sa’d and said, “This is so-and-so.” meaning the governor of Al-Madīna, “He is calling ‘Ali bad names near the pulpit.” Sahl asked, “What is he saying?” He (i.e., the man) replied, “He calls him (i.e., ‘Ali) Abū Turāb.” Sahl laughed and said, “By Allāh, none but the Prophet ﷺ called him by this name and no name was dearer to ‘Ali than this.” So I asked Sahl to tell me more, saying, “O Abū ‘Abbās! How (was this name given to ‘Ali)?” Sahl said, “‘Ali went to Fāṭima and then came out and slept in the mosque. The Prophet ﷺ asked Fāṭima, ‘Where is your cousin?’ She said, ‘In the mosque.’ The Prophet ﷺ went to him and found that his (i.e., Alī’s) covering sheet had slipped of his back and dust had soiled his back.

So I went, and when I came back, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ mentioned for me both his parents saying, 'Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you.'"

3729. Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: 'Alī demanded the hand of the daughter of Abū Jahl. Fāṭima heard of this and went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, "Your people think that you do not become angry for the sake of your daughters as 'Alī is now going to marry the daughter of Abū Jahl." On that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ got up and after his recitation of Tashahhud(1) I heard him saying, "Then after! I married one of my daughters to Abū Al-'Ās bin Ar-Rabī' (the husband of Zainab, the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ) before Islām and whenever he spoke to me, he spoke the truth. No doubt, Fāṭima is a part of me, I hate to see her being troubled. By Allāh, the daughter of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and the daughter of Allāh's enemy cannot be the wives of one man." So 'Alī gave up that engagement. Al-Miswar further said: "I heard the Prophet ﷺ talking and he mentioned a son-in-law of his belonging to the tribe of Banī 'Abd-Shams. He praised him highly concerning his relationship and said (whenever) he spoke to me, he spoke the truth, and whenever he promised me, he fulfilled his promise."

I was young, unmarried, and used to sleep in the mosque during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ. I dreamt that two angels took me and went away with me towards the (Hell) Fire which looked like a well with the inside walls built up, and had two sidewalls like those of a well. There I saw some people in it whom I knew. I started saying, "I seek refuge with Allāh from the (Hell) Fire, I seek refuge with Allāh from the (Hell) Fire." Then another angel met those two and said to me, "Do not be afraid." I narrated my dream to Ḥaṣṣa.

By Allāh, the people choose to send presents on the day of 'Aishah's turn and we too, love the good (i.e., presents etc.) as ‘Āishah’ does. You should tell Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ to tell the people to send their presents to him wherever he may be, or wherever his turn may be.” Umm Salama said that to the Prophet ﷺ and he turned away from her, and when the Prophet ﷺ returned to her (i.e., Umm Salama), she repeated the same, and the Prophet ﷺ again turned away, and when she told him the same for the third time, the Prophet ﷺ said, “O Umm Salama! Don’t trouble me by harming ‘Āishah’, for by Allāh, the Divine Revelation never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her.”

3775 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّاسُ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَاجْتَمَعَ صَوَاحِبِي إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، فَقُلْنَ: يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ، وَاللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَتَحَرَّوْنَ بِهَدَايَاهُمْ يَوْمَ عَائِشَةَ، وَإِنَّا نُرِيدُ الخَيْرَ كَمَا تُرِيدُهُ عَائِشَةُ، فَمُرِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُهْدُوا إِلَيْهِ حَيْثُ مَا كَانَ، أَوْ حَيْثُ مَا دَارَ، قَالَتْ: فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي، فَلَمَّا عَادَ إِلَيَّ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ ذَاكَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنِّي، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ: «يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ لاَ تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَائِشَةَ، فَإِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ الوَحْيُ وَأَنَا فِي لِحَافِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْكُنَّ غَيْرِهَا»
