English translation

3776. Narrated Ghailān bin Jarīr: I asked Anas, "Tell me about the name Al-Anšār. Did you call yourselves by this name or did Allāh call you by it?" He said, "Allāh called us by this name." We used to visit Anas (at Baṣrah) and he used to narrate to us the virtues and deeds of Al-Anšār, and he used to address me or a person from the tribe of Al-Azd and say, "Your tribe did so-and-so on such and such a day."

3777. Narrated Āishah عنها رضي الله عنها: The day of Bu'āth [i.e., day of fighting between the two tribes of the Anšār, the 'Aūs and Al-Khazraj] was brought about by Allāh for the good of His Messenger ﷺ so that when Allāh's Messenger ﷺ reached (Al-Madīna), the tribes of Al-Madīna had already divided and their chiefs had been killed and wounded. So, Allāh had brought about the battle for the good of His Messenger ﷺ in order that they (i.e., the Anšār) might embrace Islām.

3778. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, when the Prophet ﷺ had given the Quraish (from the booty), the Anṣār said, "By Allāh, this is indeed very strange. While our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish, our war booty are distributed amongst them." When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ he called the Anṣār and said, "What is this news that has reached me from you?" They used not to tell lies, so they replied, "What has reached you is true." He said, "Doesn't it please you that the people take the booty to their homes and you take Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to your homes? If the Anṣār took their way through a valley or mountain path, I would take the Anṣār's valley and their mountain path."

May my parents be sacrificed for him, for the Anṣār sheltered and helped him," or said a similar sentence.

Sa'd said to 'Abdur-Raḥmān, "I am the richest of all the Anṣār, so I want to divide my property (between us), and I have two wives, so see which of the two you like and tell me, so that I may divorce her, and when she finishes her prescribed period (i.e., Idda)(1) of divorce, then marry her." 'Abdur-Raḥmān said, "May Allāh bless your family and property for you; where is your market?" So they showed him the Qainuqā' market. (He went there and) returned with a profit in the form of dried yoghurt and butter. He continued going (to the market) till one day he came, bearing the traces of yellow scent. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is this (scent)?" He replied, "I got married." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "How much Mahr did you give her?" He replied, "I gave her a date-stone of gold or a gold piece equal to the weight of a date-stone." (The narrator, Ibrāhīm, is in doubt as to which is correct.)

He went on trading just a few days till he came to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ bearing the traces of yellow scent over his clothes. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ asked him, “What is this scent?” He replied, “I have married a woman from the Anşār.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ asked, “How much Mahr have you given to her?” He said, “A date-stone weight of gold or a golden date-stone.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Give a Walima (marriage banquet party), even with a sheep.”

Abū Ṭalḥa was a strong, experienced archer who used to keep his arrow bow strong and well stretched. On that day he broke two or three arrow bows. If any man passed by carrying a quiver full of arrows, the Prophet ﷺ would say to him, "Empty it in front of Abū Ṭalḥa." When the Prophet ﷺ started looking at the enemy by raising his head, Abū Ṭalḥa said, "O Allāh's Prophet! Let my parents be sacrificed for your sake! Please don't raise your head and make it visible, lest an arrow of the enemy should hit you. Let my neck and chest be wounded instead of yours." (On that day) I saw 'Aishah, the daughter of Abū Bakr and Umm Sulaim both lifting their dresses up so that I was able to see the ornaments of their legs, and they were carrying the waterskins on their arms to pour water into the mouths of the thirsty people and then go back and fill them and come to pour water into the mouths of the people again. (On that day) Abū Ṭalḥa's sword fell from his hand twice or thrice.

The people said, "He is one of the people of Paradise." He offered two light Rak'a and then left. I followed him and said, "When you entered the mosque, the people said, 'He is one of the people of Paradise.'" He said, "By Allāh, one ought not say what he does not know; and I will tell you why. In the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ I had a dream which I narrated to him. I saw as if I were in a garden." He then described its vastness and greenery. He added: "In its centre there was an iron pillar whose lower end was fixed in the earth and the upper end was in the sky, and at its upper end there was a (ring-shaped) hand-hold. I was told to climb it. I said, 'I can't.' Then a servant came to me and lifted my clothes from behind and I climbed till I reached the top (of the pillar). Then I got hold of the hand-hold, and I was told to hold it tightly, then I woke up and (the effect of) the hand-hold was in my hand. I narrated all that to the Prophet ﷺ who said, 'The garden is Islām, and the hand-hold is the Most Truthworthy Hand-hold. So you will remain as a Muslim till you die.'" (The narrator added): "The man was 'Abdullāh bin Salām."

I eat only those (animals) on which Allāh's Name has been mentioned at the time of (their) slaughtering." Zaid bin 'Amr used to criticize the way Quraish used to slaughter their animals, and used to say, "Allāh has created the sheep and He has sent the water for it from the sky, and He has grown the grass for it from the earth; yet you slaughter it in others than the Name of Allāh. He used to say so, for he rejected that practice and considered it as something abominable.

He met a Jewish religious scholar and asked him about their religion. He said, "I intend to embrace your religion, so tell me something about it." The Jew said, "You will not embrace our religion unless you receive your share of Allāh's Anger." Zaid said, "I do not run except from Allāh's Anger, and I will never bear a bit of it if I have the power to avoid it. Can you tell me of some other religion?" He said, "I do not now any other religion except the Hanif (Islāmic Monotheism)," Zaid enquired, "What is Hanif?" He said, "Hanif is the religion of (the Prophet) Abraham عليه السلام who was neither a Jew nor a Christian, and he used to worship none but Allāh (Alone) (i.e. Islāmic Monotheism)". Then Zaid went out and met a Christian religious scholar and told him the same as before. The Christian said, "You will not embrace our religion unless you get a share of Allāh's Curse." Zaid replied, "I do not run except from Allāh's Curse, and I will never bear any of Allāh's Curse and His Anger if I have the power to avoid them. Will you tell me of some other religion?" He replied, "I do not know any other religion except Hanif (Islāmic Monotheism)". Zaid enquired, "What is Hanif?" He replied, "Hanif is the religion of (the Prophet) Ibrāhīm (Abraham) عليه السلام who was neither a Jew nor a Christian and he used to worship none but Allāh (Alone) (i.e. Islāmic Monotheism)." When Zaid heard their statements about (the religion of) Ibrāhīm عليه السلام, he left that place, and when he came out, he raised both his hands and said, "O Allāh! I make You my Witness that I am on the religion of Ibrāhīm." [i.e., Islamic Monotheism]

Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and his Companions reached Makkah assuming Iḥrām for Hajj on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. The Prophet ﷺ ordered his Companions to perform Umra (with that Iḥrām instead of Hajj).(1) They asked, "O Allāh's Messenger! What kind of finishing of Iḥrām?"

3834. Narrated Qais bin Abī Hāzim: Abū Bakr went to a lady from the Ahmas tribe called Zainab bint Al-Muhājir and found that she refused to speak. He asked, "Why does she not speak." The people said, "She has intended to perform Hajj without speaking." He said to her, "Speak, for it is illegal not to speak, as it is an action (i.e., tradition) of the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance. So she spoke and said, "Who are you?" He said, "A man from the emigrants." She asked, "Which emigrants." He replied, "From Quraish." She asked, "From which branch of Quraish are you?" He said, "You ask too many questions; I am Abū Bakr." She said, "How long shall we enjoy this good order (i.e., Islāmic religion) which Allāh has brought after the Period of Ignorance?" He said, "You will enjoy it as long as your Imām keep on abiding by its rules and regulations." She asked, "What are the Imām?" He said, "Were there not heads and chiefs of your nation who used to order the people and they used to obey them?" She said, "Yes." He said, "So they (i.e., the Imām) are those whom I meant."

She used to visit us and talk to us, and when she finished her talk, she used to say: "The day of the scarf was one of our Lord's Wonders. Verily! He has delivered me from the land of Kufr." When she said the above verse many times, I ('Aishah) asked her, "What was the day of the scarf?" She replied, "Once the daughter of some of my masters went out and she was wearing a leather scarf (round her neck) and the leather scarf fell from her and a kite descended and picked it up, mistaking it for a piece of meat. They (i.e., my masters) accused me of stealing it and they tortured me to such an extent that they even looked for it in my private parts. So, while they all were around me, and I was in great distress, suddenly the kite came over our heads and threw the scarf and they took it. I said to them "This is what you accused me of stealing, though I was innocent."

3845. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: The first event of Qasāma in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance was practised by us (i.e., Banū Hāshim). A man from Banū Hāshim was employed by a Quraishī man from another branch-family. The (Hāshimi) labourer set out with the Quraishī driving his camels. There passed by him another man from Banū Hāshim. The leather rope of the latter's bag had broken so he said to the labourer, "Will you help me by giving me a rope in order to tie the handle of my bag, lest the camels should run away from me?" The labourer gave him a rope and the latter tied his bag with it. When the caravan halted, all the camels' legs were tied with their fetters except one camel. The employer asked the labourer, "Why, from among all the camels has this camel not been fettered?" He replied, "There is no fetter for it." The Quraishī asked, "Where is its fetter?" and hit the labourer with a stick that caused his death. (Later on just before his death) a man from Yemen passed by him. The labourer asked (him), "Will you go for the pilgrimage?" He replied, "I do not think I will attend it, but perhaps I will attend it." The (Hāshimi) labourer said, "Will you (1) (Ch.2) Al-Qasāma means the oath taken by some people concerning the accusation of killing somebody, (also see the glossary). please convey a message for me once in your life?" The other man said, "Yes." The labourer wrote: "When you intend the pilgrimage, call the family of Quraish, and if they respond to you, call the family of Banū Hāshim, and if they respond to you, ask about Abū Tālib and tell him that so-and-so has killed me for a fetter." Then the labourer expired. When the employer reached (Makkah), Abū Tālib visited him and asked, "What has happened to our companion?" He said, "He became ill and I looked after him nicely (but he died) and I buried him." Then Abū Tālib said, "The deceased deserved this from you." After some time, the messenger whom the labourer has asked to convey the message, reached (Makkah) during the pilgrimage season. He called, "O the family of Quraish!" The people replied, "This is Quraish." Then he called, "O the family of Banū Hāshim!" Again the people replied, "This is Banū Hāshim." He asked, "Who is Abū Tālib?" The people replied, "This is Abū Tālib." He said, "So-and-so has asked me to convey a message to you that so-and-so has killed him for a fetter (of a camel)." Then Abū Tālib went to the (Quraishī) killer and said to him, "Chose one of three alternatives: (i) If you wish, give us one hundred camels because you have murdered our companion, (ii) or if you wish, fifty of your men should take an oath that you have not murdered our companion, and if you do not accept this, (iii) we will kill you in Qisās(1)" The killer went to his people and they said, "We will take an oath." Then a woman from Banū Hāshim who was married to one of them (i.e., the Quraishīs) and had given birth to a child from him, came to Abū Tālib and said, "O Abū Tālib! I wish that my son, from among the fifty men, should be excused from this oath, and that he should not take the oath when the oath-taking is carried on." Abū Tālib excused him. Then another man from them came (to Abū Tālib) and said, "O Abū Tālib! You want fifty persons to take an oath instead of giving a hundred camels, and that means each man has to give two camels (in case he does not take an oath). So, there are two camels I would like you to accept from me, and excuse me from taking an oath when the oaths are taken." Abū Tālib accepted them from him. Then 48 men came and took the oath. (Ibn 'Abbās further said: :) By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, before the end of that year, none of those 48 persons remained alive.

3846. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: The day of Bu'āth (i.e., the day of fighting between the two tribes of Anşār) was brought about by Allāh for the good of His Messenger ﷺ so that when Allāh's Messenger ﷺ reached Al-Madīna, those people were already divided (in different groups) and their chiefs had been killed and wounded. So, Allāh made that day precede Allāh's Messenger ﷺ so that they (i.e., the Anşār) might embrace Islām.

3847. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: To run along the valley between two green pillars of As-Şafā and Al-Marwa (mountains) was not Sunna,(1) but the people in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance used to run along it, and used to say: "We do not cross this rain stream except running in great haste."

Listen to what I say to you, and let me hear whatever you say, and don't go (without understanding), and start saying, 'Ibn 'Abbās said so-and-so, Ibn 'Abbās said so-and-so, Ibn 'Abbās said so-and-so.' He who wants to perform the Tawāf around the Ka'bah should go behind Al-Hijr (i.e., a portion of the Ka'bah left out unroofed) and do not call it Al-Haṭim, for in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance if any man took an oath, he used to throw his whip, shoes or bow in it.(1)

3850. Narrated Sufyān: 'Ubaidullāh said: "I heard Ibn 'Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا saying, 'Following are some traits of the people of the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance: (i) to defame the ancestry of other families, (ii) and to wail over the dead.'" 'Ubaidullāh forgot the third trait. Sufyān said, "They say it (i.e., the third trait) was to believe that rain was caused by the influence of stars (i.e., if a special star appears it will rain)."

3852. Narrated Khabbāb: I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was leaning against his Burda (sheet cloak) in the shade of the Ka‘bah. We were suffering much from the Mushrikūn [polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in his Messenger Muḥammad (ﷺ)] in those days. I said (to him), “Will you invoke Allāh (to help us)?” He sat down with a red face and said, “(A believer among) those who were before you used to be combed with iron combs so that nothing of his flesh, or nerves would remain on his bones; yet that would never make him desert his religion. A saw might be put over the parting of his head which would be split into two parts, yet all that would never make him abandon his religion. Allāh will surely complete this religion (i.e., Islām) so that a traveller from Ṣan'ā' to Ḥadramaut will not be afraid of anybody except Allāh." (The sub-narrator, Bayān added, "Or the wolf, lest it should harm his sheep.")

3852 - حَدَّثَنَا الحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا بَيَانٌ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالاَ: سَمِعْنَا قَيْسًا، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ خَبَّابًا، يَقُولُ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُتَوَسِّدٌ بُرْدَةً، وَهُوَ فِي ظِلِّ الكَعْبَةِ وَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ شِدَّةً، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلاَ تَدْعُو اللَّهَ، فَقَعَدَ وَهُوَ مُحْمَرٌّ وَجْهُهُ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ كَانَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ لَيُمْشَطُ بِمِشَاطِ الحَدِيدِ، مَا دُونَ عِظَامِهِ مِنْ لَحْمٍ أَوْ عَصَبٍ، مَا يَصْرِفُهُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ دِينِهِ، وَيُوضَعُ المِنْشَارُ عَلَى مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ، فَيُشَقُّ بِاثْنَيْنِ مَا يَصْرِفُهُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ دِينِهِ، وَلَيُتِمَّنَّ اللَّهُ هَذَا الأَمْرَ حَتَّى يَسِيرَ الرَّاكِبُ مِنْ صَنْعَاءَ إِلَى حَضْرَمَوْتَ، مَا يَخَافُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ»، زَادَ بَيَانٌ: «وَالذِّئْبَ عَلَى غَنَمِهِ»

3853. Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ recited Sūrat An-Najm and prostrated, and there was nobody who did not prostrate then except a man whom I saw taking a handful of pebbles, lifting it, and prostrating on it. He then said, "This is sufficient for me." No doubt I saw him killed as a disbeliever afterwards.

3854. Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: While the Prophet ﷺ was prostrating, surrounded by some of Quraish, 'Uqba bin Abī Mu'āit brought the intestines (i.e., abdominal contents) of a camel and put them over the back of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ did not raise his head (till) Fāṭima عليها السلام came and took it off his back and cursed the one who had done the harm. The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allāh! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, Abū Jahl bin Hiṣhām, 'Uṭba bin Rabī'a, Shaiba bin Rabī'a, Umaiyya bin Khalaf or Ubaī bin Khalaf." (The subnarrator Shu'ba, is not sure of the last name.) I saw these people killed on the day of (the battle of) Badr and thrown in the well, except Umaiyya or Ubaī whose body parts were mutilated but he was not thrown in the well.

English translation

3855. Narrated Sa'īd bin Jubair: 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Abzā said, "Ask Ibn 'Abbās about these two Qur'ānic Verses: '...Nor kill such life as Allāh has forbidden, except for just cause...' (V.25:68) 'And whoever kills a believer intentionally...' (V.4:93) So, I asked Ibn 'Abbās who said, "When the Verse that is in Sūrat Al-Furqān(1) was revealed, Mushrikūn(2) of Makkah said, 'But we have slain such life as Allāh has made sacred, and we have invoked other gods along with Allāh, and we have also committed illegal sexual intercourse'. So Allāh revealed: 'Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism)... ' (V.25:70) So this Verse was concerned with those people. As for the Verse in Sūrat An-Nisā' (V.4:93), it means that if a man, after understanding Islām and its laws and obligations, murders somebody, then his punishment is to dwell in the (Hell) Fire forever." Then I mentioned this to Mujāhid who said, "Except the one who regrets (i.e., repents one's crime)."

3856. Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: I asked Ibn 'Amr bin Al-'Ās, "Tell me of the worst thing which Al-Mushrikūn [polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in his Messenger Muḥammad (ﷺ)] did to the Prophet (ﷺ)." He said, "While the Prophet (ﷺ) was offering Ṣalāt (prayer) in the Hijr of the Ka'bah, 'Uqba bin Abī Mu'āit came and put his garment around the Prophet's neck and throttled him violently.

I invoked Allāh for them that they would never pass by a bone or animal dung but find food on them."

3861. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: When Abū Dhar received the news of the advent of the Prophet ﷺ he said to his brother, "Ride to this valley (of Makkah) and try to find out the truth of the person who claims to be a Prophet and is informed of the news of heaven. Listen to what he says and come back to me." So, his brother set out and came to the Prophet ﷺ and listened to some of his talks, and returned to Abū Dhar and said to him, "I have seen him enjoining virtuous behaviour and saying something that is not poetry." Abū Dhar said, "You have not satisfied me as to what I wanted." He then took his journey-food and carried a water-skin of his, containing some water till he reached Makkah. He went to the mosque and searched for the Prophet ﷺ and though he did not know him, he hated to ask anybody about him. When a part of the night had passed away, 'Alī saw him and knew that he was a stranger. So when Abū Dhar saw 'Alī, he followed him, and none of them asked his companion about anything, and when it was dawn, Abū Dhar took his journey-food and his water-skin to the mosque and stayed there all the day long without being perceived by the Prophet ﷺ, and when it was evening, he came back to his retiring place. 'Alī passed by him and said, "Has the man not known his dwelling place yet?" So, 'Alī let him get up and took him to his house and none of them spoke to the other about anything. When it was the third day, 'Alī did the same and Abū Dhar stayed with him. Then 'Alī said, "Will you tell me what has brought you here?" Abū Dhar said, "If you give me a firm promise that you will guide me, then I will tell you." 'Alī promised him, and he informed 'Alī about the matter. 'Alī said, "It is true, and he is the Messenger of Allāh. Next morning when you get up, accompany me, and if I see any danger for you, I will stop as if to pass water, but if I go on, follow me and enter the place which I will enter." Abū Dhar did so, and followed 'Alī till he entered the place of the Prophet ﷺ, and Abū Dhar went in with him. Abū Dhar listened to some of the Prophet's talks and embraced Islām on the spot. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Go back to your people and inform them (about it) till you receive my order." Abū Dhar said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will proclaim my conversion loudly amongst them (i.e., Al-Mushrikūn). " So he went out, and when he reached the mosque, he said as loudly as possible, "I bear witness that Lā ilāha illallāh wa anna Muhammad Rasūl Allāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh, and Muḥammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allāh). The people got up and beat him painfully. Then Al-'Abbās came and knelt over him (to protect him) and said (to the people), "Woe to you! Don't you know that this man belongs to the tribe of Ghifār, and your trade to Sham is through their way? So, he rescued him from them. Abū Dhar again did the same the next day. They beat him and took vengeance on him and again Al-'Abbās knelt over him (to protect him).

Once, while 'Umar was sitting, a handsome man passed by him. 'Umar said, "If I am not wrong, this person is still on his religion of the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance or he was their foreteller. Call the man to me." When the man was called to him, he told him of his thought. The man said, "I have never seen such a day on which a Muslim is faced with such an accusation." 'Umar said, "I am determined that you should tell me the truth." He said, "I was a foreteller in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance." Then 'Umar said, "Tell me the most astonishing thing your female jinn has told you of." He said, "One day, while I was in the market, she came to me scared and said, 'Haven't you seen the jinn and their despair and they were overthrown after their defeat (and prevented from listening to the news of the heaven) so that they (stopped going to the sky and) kept following camel-riders (i.e., Arabs)?" 'Umar said, "He is right," and added, "one day, while I was near their idols, there came a man with a calf and slaughtered it as a sacrifice (for the idols). An (unseen) creature shouted at him, and I have never heard harsher than his voice. He was crying, 'O you bold evil-doer! A matter of success! An eloquent man is saying: Lā ilāha illa Anta (none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allāh)).' On that the people fled, but I said, 'I shall not go away till I know what is behind this.' Then the cry came again: 'O you bold evil-doer! A matter of success! An eloquent man is saying: Lā ilāha illa Anta.'

Say: 'Lā ilāha illallāh' (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)', an expression with which I will defend your case with, before Allāh." Abū Jahl and 'Abdullāh bin Umayya said, "O Abū Tālib! Will you leave the religion of 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib?" They kept on saying this to him so that the last statement he said to them (before he died) was: "I am on the religion of 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "I will keep on asking for Allāh's Forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so." Then the following Verse was revealed: "It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allāh's Forgiveness for the Mushrikūn [polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muḥammad ﷺ] even though they be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire (because they died in a state of disbelief)."

3887. Narrated Anas bin Mālik : Mālik bin Sa’ša’ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ described to them his Night Journey and said: “While I was lying in Al-Ḥaṭīm or Al-Hijr, suddenly someone came to me and cut open my body from here to here.” I asked Al-Jārūd who was by my side, “What does he mean?” He said, “It means from his throat to his pubic area,” or said, “From the top of the chest.” The Prophet ﷺ further said, “He then took out my heart. Then a golden tray full of Belief was brought to me and my heart was washed and was filled (with Belief) and then returned to its original place. Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me.” On this Al-Jārūd asked, “Was it the Burāq, O Abū Ḥamza?” I (i.e., Anas) replied in the affirmative. The Prophet ﷺ said, “The animal’s step (was so wide that it) reached the farthest point within the reach of the animal’s sight. I was carried on it, and Jibrīl (Gabriel) set out with me till we reached the nearest heaven. When he asked for the gate to be opened, it was asked, 'Who is it?' Jibrīl answered, 'Jibrīl.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Jibrīl replied, 'Muḥammad (ﷺ).' It was asked, 'Has Muḥammad (ﷺ) been called?' Jibrīl replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcome. What an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened, and when I went over the first heaven, I saw Ādam there. Jibrīl said (to me), 'This is your father, Ādam; pay him your greetings.' So I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcome, O pious son and pious Prophet.' Then Jibrīl ascended with me till we reached the second heaven. Jibrīl asked for the gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Jibrīl answered, 'Jibrīl.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Jibrīl replied, 'Muḥammad (ﷺ).' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Jibrīl answered in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcome. What an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened. When I went over the second heaven, there I saw Yaḥya (John) and 'Iṣā (Jesus) who were cousins. Jibrīl said (to me), 'These are Yaḥya and 'Iṣā; pay them your greetings.' So I greeted them and both of them returned my greetings to me and said, 'You are welcome, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Jibrīl ascended with me to the third heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Jibrīl replied, 'Jibrīl.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Jibrīl (Gabriel) replied, 'Muḥammad (ﷺ).' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Jibrīl replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcome. What an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened, and when I went over the third heaven there I saw Yūsuf (Joseph). Jibrīl said (to me), 'This is Yūsuf; pay him your greetings.' So I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcome, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Jibril ascended with me to the fourth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Jibril replied, 'Jibril.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Jibril replied, 'Muhammad (ﷺ).' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Jibril replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcome, what an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened, and when I went over the fourth heaven, there I saw Idris. Jibril said (to me), 'This is Idris; pay him your greeting.' So I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcome, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Jibril ascended with me to the fifth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Jibril replied, 'Jibril.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Jibril replied, 'Muhammad (ﷺ).' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Jibril replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcome. What an excellent visit his is!' So when I went over the fifth heaven, there I saw Harūn (Aaron). Jibril said, (to me), 'This is Aaron; pay him your greetings.' I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcome, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Jibril ascended with me to the sixth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Jibril replied, 'Jibril.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Jibril (Gabriel) replied, 'Muhammad (ﷺ).' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Jibril replied in the affirmative. It was said, 'He is welcome. What an excellent visit his is!' When I went (over the sixth heaven), there I saw Mūsā (Moses). Jibril said (to me), 'This is Mūsā; pay him your greeting.' So I greeted him and he returned the greetings to me and said, 'You are welcome, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' When I left him (i.e., Mūsā) he wept. Someone asked him, 'What makes you weep?' Mūsā said, 'I weep because after me there has been sent (Muḥammad ﷺ as a Prophet) a young man, whose followers will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my followers.' Then Jibrīl ascended with me to the seventh heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Jibrīl replied, 'Jibrīl.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Jibrīl replied, 'Muḥammad (ﷺ).' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Jibrīl replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcome. What an excellent visit his is!' So when I went (over the seventh heaven), there I saw Ibrāhīm (Abraham). Jibrīl said (to me), 'This is your father; pay your greetings to him.' So I greeted him and he returned the greetings to me and said, 'You are welcome, O pious son and pious Prophet.' Then I was made to ascend upto Sidrat-ul-Muntahā (i.e., the lote tree of the utmost boundary). Behold! Its fruits were like the jars of Hajar (a place near Al-Madīna) and its leaves were as big as the ears of elephants. Jibrīl said, 'This is the lote-tree of the utmost boundary.' Behold! There were four rivers, two were hidden and two were visible. I asked, 'What are these two kinds of rivers, O Jibrīl?' He replied, 'As for the hidden rivers, they are two rivers in Paradise and the visible rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates.' Then Al-Bait-ul-Ma'mūr (i.e., the Sacred House) was shown to me. Then a container full of wine and another full of milk and a third full of honey were brought to me. I took the milk. Jibrīl remarked, 'This is the Islāmic religion which you and your followers are following.' Then the Ṣalāt (prayers) were enjoined on me. They were fifty Ṣalāt (prayers) a day. When I returned, I passed by Mūsā who asked (me), 'What have you been ordered to do?' I replied, 'I have been ordered to offer fifty Ṣalāt (prayers) a day.' Mūsā said, 'Your followers cannot bear fifty Ṣalāt (prayers) a day, and by Allāh, I have tested people before you, and I have tried my level best with Banī Isrāēl (in vain). Go back to your Lord and ask for reduction to lessen your followers' burden.' So I went back, and Allāh reduced ten Ṣalāt (prayers) for me. Then again I came to Mūsā, but he repeated the same as he had said before. Then again I went back to Allāh, and He reduced ten more Ṣalāt (prayers). When I came back to Mūsā he said the same. I went back to Allāh and He ordered me to observe ten Ṣalāt (prayers) a day. When I came back to Mūsā, he repeated the same advice, so, I went back to Allāh and was ordered to observe five Ṣalāt (prayers) a day. When I came back to Mūsā, he said, 'What have you been ordered?' I replied, 'I have been ordered to observe five Ṣalāt (prayers) a day.' He said, 'Your followers cannot bear five Ṣalāt (prayers) a day,(1) and no doubt, I have got an experience of the people before you, and I have tried my level best with Banī Isrāēl, so go back to your Lord and ask for reduction to lessen your followers' burden.' I said, 'I have requested so much of my Lord that I feel ashamed, but I am satisfied now and surrender to Allāh's Order.' When I left, I heard a voice saying, 'I have passed My Order and have lessened the burden of My worshippers.'"

Narrated Ibn 'Abbās: Regarding the Statement of Allāh تعالى: "...And We made not the vision which We showed you (O Muhammad ﷺ as an actual eye-witness and not as a dream on the night of Al-Isra') but a trial for the mankind..." (V.17:60) Ibn Abbās added: The sights which Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was shown on Al-Isra' (Night Journey) when he was taken to Bait-ul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) were actual eye-witnesses (not dreams). And the accursed tree (mentioned) in the Qur'an is the tree of Az-Zaqqūm (itself).

When we covered his head with it, his feet became bare, and when covered his feet, his head became bare. So, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered us to cover his head and put some Idhkhīr (i.e., a special kind of grass) on his feet. (On the other hand) some of us have had their fruits ripened (in this world) and they are collecting them."

3900. Narrated ‘Aṭā bin Abī Rabāḥ’: ‘Ubaid bin ‘Umar Al-Laithī and I visited ‘Āishah and asked her about the Hijrah (emigration), and she said, “Today there is no Hijrah (emigration). A believer used to run away with his religion to Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ lest he should be put to trial because of his religion. Today, Allāh has made Islām triumphant, and today a believer can worship his Lord wherever he likes. But the deeds that are still rewardable (in place of emigration) are Jihād and (good) intentions.” [See Vol. 4, Hadīth No.2783]

I think that You have ended the fight between us and them."

3904. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sat on the pulpit and said, "Allāh has given one of His slaves the choice of receiving the splendour and luxury of the worldly life (whatever he likes) or to accept the good (of the Hereafter) which is with Him (Allāh). So, he has chosen that good which is with Allāh." On that Abū Bakr wept and said, "Our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you." We were astonished at this. The people said, "Look at this old man! Allāh's Messenger ﷺ talks about a slave of Allāh to whom He has given the option to choose either the splendour of this worldly life or the good which is with Him, while he says, 'Our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you.'" But it was Allāh's Messenger ﷺ who had been given option, and Abū Bakr knew it better than we. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ added, "No doubt, Abū Bakr has favoured me much both with his company and his property more than anybody else. And if I had to take a Khalil(1) from my followers, I would certainly have taken Abū Bakr, but the fraternity of Islām is sufficient. Let no Khaukha(2) of the mosque remain open, except that of Abū Bakr."

3905. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ: I never remembered my parents believing in any religion other than the true religion (i.e., Islāmic Monotheism), and (I don't remember) a single day passing without our being visited by Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in the morning and in the evening. When the Muslims were put to test (i.e., troubled by Al-Mushrikūn)(3), Abū Bakr set out to emigrate to the land of Ethiopia, and when he reached Bark-al-Ghimād(1), Ibn Ad-Daghina, the chief of the tribe of Qāra, met him and said, "O Abū Bakr! Where are you going?" Abū Bakr replied, "My people have turned me out (of my country), so I want to wander in the land and worship my Lord." Ibn Ad-Daghina said, "O Abū Bakr! A man like you should not leave his homeland, nor should he be driven out, because you help the destitute, earn their living, and you keep good relations with your kith and kin, help the weak and poor, entertain guests generously, and help the calamity-stricken persons. Therefore I am your protector. Go back and worship your Lord in your town." So, Abū Bakr returned and Ibn Ad-Daghina accompanied him. In the evening Ibn Ad-Daghina visited the nobles of Quraish and said to them, "A man like Abū Bakr should not leave his homeland, nor should he be driven out. Do you (i.e., Quraish) drive out a man who helps the destitute, earns their living, keeps good relations with his kith and kin, helps the weak and poor, entertains guests generously and helps the calamity-stricken persons?" So, the people of Quraish could not refuse Ibn Ad-Daghina's protection, and they said to Ibn Ad-Daghina, "Let Abū Bakr worship his Lord in his house. He can offer Ṣalāt (prayer) and recite there whatever he likes, but he should not hurt us with it, and should not do it publicly, because we are afraid that he may influence our women and children." Ibn Ad-Daghina told Abū Bakr of all that. Abū Bakr stayed in that state, worshipping his Lord in his house. He did not offer Ṣalāt (prayer) publicly, nor did he recite the Qur'an outside his house. Then a thought occurred to Abū Bakr to build a mosque in front of his house, and there he used to offer Ṣalāt (prayer) and recite the Qur'an. The women and children of Al-Mushrikūn began to gather around him in great number. They used to wonder at him and look at him. Abū Bakr was a man given to weep much, and he could not help weeping on reciting the Qur'an. That situation scared the Quraish nobles of Al-Mushrikūn, so they sent for Ibn Ad-Daghina. When he came to them, they said, "We accepted your protection of Abū Bakr on condition that he should worship his Lord in his house, but he has violated the conditions and he has built a mosque in front of his house where he offers Ṣalāt (prayer) and recites the Qur'an publicly. We are now afraid that he may influence our women and children unfavourably. So, prevent him from that. If he likes to confine the worship of his Lord to his house, he may do so, but if he insists on doing that openly, ask him to release you from your obligation of his protection, for we dislike to break our pact with you, but we deny Abū Bakr the right to announce his act publicly." Ibn Ad-Daghina went to Abū Bakr and said, ("O Abū Bakr!) You know well what contract I have made on your behalf; now, you are either to abide by it, or else release me of my obligation of protecting you, because I do not want the Arabs hear that my people have dishonoured a contract I have made on behalf of another man." Abū Bakr replied, "I release you from your pact to protect me, and am contented with the protection of Allāh عزّ وجلّ." At that time, the Prophet ﷺ was in Makkah, and he said to the Muslims, "In a dream I have been shown the place of your emigration, a land of date-palm trees between two mountains, (the two stony tracts)". So, some people emigrated to Al-Madīna, and most of those people who had previously emigrated to the land of Ethiopia, returned to Al-Madīna. Abū Bakr also prepared to leave for Al-Madīna, but Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to him, "Wait for a while, because I hope that I will be allowed to emigrate also." Abū Bakr said, "Do you indeed expect this? Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes." So, Abū Bakr did not emigrate for the sake of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in order to accompany him. He fed two she-camels he possessed with the leaves of As-Samur tree that fell on being struck by a stick for four months. One day, while we were sitting in Abū Bakr's house at noon, someone said to Abū Bakr, "This is Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, with his head covered coming at a time at which he never used to visit us before." Abū Bakr said, "May my parents be sacrificed for him. By Allāh, he has not come at this hour except for a great necessity." So Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came and asked permission to enter, and he was allowed to enter. When he entered, he said to Abū Bakr, "Tell everyone who is present with you to leave." Abū Bakr replied, "There are none but your family. May my father be sacrificed for you, O Allāh's Messenger!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have been given permission to emigrate." Abū Bakr said, "Shall I accompany you? May my father be sacrificed for you, O Allāh's Messenger!" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Yes." Abū Bakr said, "O Allāh's Messenger! May my father be sacrificed for you, take one of these two she-camels of mine." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "(I will) but with payment." So we prepared the baggage quickly and put some journey-food in a leather bag for them. Asmā', Abū Bakr's daughter, cut a piece from her waistbelt and tied the mouth of the leather bag with it, and for that reason she was named Dhāt-un-Niṭāqain (i.e., the owner of two belts). Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and Abū Bakr reached a cave on Mount Thaur and stayed there for three nights. 'Abdullāh bin Abī Bakr who was intelligent sagacious youth, used to stay (with them) overnight. He used to leave them before daybreak so that in the morning he would be with Quraish as if he had spent the night in Makkah. He would keep in mind any plot made against them, and when it became dark he would (go and) inform them of it. 'Āmir bin Fuhaira, the freed slave of Abū Bakr, used to bring the milch sheep (of his master, Abū Bakr) to them a little while after nightfall in order to rest the sheep there. So they always had fresh milk at night, the milk of their sheep, and the milk which they warmed by putting heated stones in it. 'Āmir bin Fuhaira would then call the herd away when it was still dark (before daybreak). He did the same in each of those three nights. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and Abū Bakr had hired a man from the tribe of Banī Ad-Dīl from the family of Banī 'Abd bin 'Adī as an expert guide, and he was in alliance with the family of Al-'Āsh bin Wā'il As-Sahmī and he was on the religion of the infidels of Quraish. The Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr trusted him and gave him their two she-camels and took his promise to bring their two she-camels to the cave of Mount Thaur in the morning after three nights.

3905 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: فَأَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: لَمْ أَعْقِلْ أَبَوَيَّ قَطُّ، إِلَّا وَهُمَا يَدِينَانِ الدِّينَ، وَلَمْ يَمُرَّ عَلَيْنَا يَوْمٌ إِلَّا يَأْتِينَا فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ، بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيَّةً، فَلَمَّا ابْتُلِيَ المُسْلِمُونَ خَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُهَاجِرًا نَحْوَ أَرْضِ الحَبَشَةِ، حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ بَرْكَ الغِمَادِ لَقِيَهُ ابْنُ الدَّغِنَةِ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ القَارَةِ، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَخْرَجَنِي قَوْمِي، فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسِيحَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَأَعْبُدَ رَبِّي، قَالَ ابْنُ الدَّغِنَةِ: فَإِنَّ مِثْلَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ لاَ يَخْرُجُ وَلاَ يُخْرَجُ، إِنَّكَ تَكْسِبُ المَعْدُومَ وَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ، وَتَحْمِلُ الكَلَّ وَتَقْرِي الضَّيْفَ وَتُعِينُ عَلَى نَوَائِبِ الحَقِّ، فَأَنَا لَكَ جَارٌ ارْجِعْ وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ بِبَلَدِكَ، فَرَجَعَ وَارْتَحَلَ مَعَهُ ابْنُ الدَّغِنَةِ، فَطَافَ ابْنُ الدَّغِنَةِ عَشِيَّةً فِي أَشْرَافِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لاَ يَخْرُجُ مِثْلُهُ وَلاَ يُخْرَجُ، أَتُخْرِجُونَ رَجُلًا يَكْسِبُ المَعْدُومَ وَيَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ، وَيَحْمِلُ الكَلَّ وَيَقْرِي الضَّيْفَ، وَيُعِينُ عَلَى نَوَائِبِ الحَقِّ، فَلَمْ تُكَذِّبْ قُرَيْشٌ بِجِوَارِ ابْنِ الدَّغِنَةِ، وَقَالُوا: لِابْنِ الدَّغِنَةِ: مُرْ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَلْيَعْبُدْ رَبَّهُ فِي دَارِهِ، فَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهَا وَلْيَقْرَأْ مَا شَاءَ، وَلاَ يُؤْذِينَا بِذَلِكَ وَلاَ يَسْتَعْلِنْ بِهِ، فَإِنَّا نَخْشَى أَنْ يَفْتِنَ نِسَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَنَا، فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ ابْنُ الدَّغِنَةِ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَلَبِثَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِذَلِكَ يَعْبُدُ رَبَّهُ فِي دَارِهِ، وَلاَ يَسْتَعْلِنُ بِصَلاَتِهِ وَلاَ يَقْرَأُ فِي غَيْرِ دَارِهِ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَابْتَنَى مَسْجِدًا بِفِنَاءِ دَارِهِ، وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ، وَيَقْرَأُ القُرْآنَ، فَيَنْقَذِفُ عَلَيْهِ نِسَاءُ المُشْرِكِينَ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَجُلًا بَكَّاءً، لاَ يَمْلِكُ عَيْنَيْهِ إِذَا قَرَأَ القُرْآنَ، وَأَفْزَعَ ذَلِكَ أَشْرَافَ قُرَيْشٍ مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ، فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى ابْنِ الدَّغِنَةِ فَقَدِمَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا كُنَّا أَجَرْنَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ بِجِوَارِكَ، عَلَى أَنْ يَعْبُدَ رَبَّهُ فِي دَارِهِ، فَقَدْ جَاوَزَ ذَلِكَ، فَابْتَنَى مَسْجِدًا بِفِنَاءِ دَارِهِ، فَأَعْلَنَ بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالقِرَاءَةِ فِيهِ، وَإِنَّا قَدْ خَشِينَا أَنْ يَفْتِنَ نِسَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَنَا، فَانْهَهُ، فَإِنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَقْتَصِرَ عَلَى أَنْ يَعْبُدَ رَبَّهُ فِي دَارِهِ فَعَلَ، وَإِنْ أَبَى إِلَّا أَنْ يُعْلِنَ بِذَلِكَ، فَسَلْهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ إِلَيْكَ ذِمَّتَكَ، فَإِنَّا قَدْ كَرِهْنَا أَنْ نُخْفِرَكَ، وَلَسْنَا مُقِرِّينَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ الِاسْتِعْلاَنَ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَأَتَى ابْنُ الدَّغِنَةِ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: قَدْ عَلِمْتَ الَّذِي عَاقَدْتُ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ، فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَقْتَصِرَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيَّ ذِمَّتِي، فَإِنِّي لاَ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ العَرَبُ أَنِّي أُخْفِرْتُ فِي رَجُلٍ عَقَدْتُ لَهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: فَإِنِّي أَرُدُّ إِلَيْكَ جِوَارَكَ، وَأَرْضَى بِجِوَارِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَكَّةَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ: «إِنِّي أُرِيتُ دَارَ هِجْرَتِكُمْ، ذَاتَ نَخْلٍ بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْنِ» وَهُمَا الحَرَّتَانِ، فَهَاجَرَ مَنْ هَاجَرَ قِبَلَ المَدِينَةِ، وَرَجَعَ عَامَّةُ مَنْ كَانَ هَاجَرَ بِأَرْضِ الحَبَشَةِ إِلَى المَدِينَةِ، وَتَجَهَّزَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ قِبَلَ المَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَى رِسْلِكَ، فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لِي» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: وَهَلْ تَرْجُو ذَلِكَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» فَحَبَسَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيَصْحَبَهُ، وَعَلَفَ رَاحِلَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا عِنْدَهُ وَرَقَ السَّمُرِ وَهُوَ الخَبَطُ، أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: عُرْوَةُ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ يَوْمًا جُلُوسٌ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ، قَالَ قَائِلٌ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَقَنِّعًا، فِي سَاعَةٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَأْتِينَا فِيهَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: فِدَاءٌ لَهُ أَبِي وَأُمِّي، وَاللَّهِ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا أَمْرٌ، قَالَتْ: فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ، فَأُذِنَ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: «أَخْرِجْ مَنْ عِنْدَكَ». فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّمَا هُمْ أَهْلُكَ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «فَإِنِّي قَدْ أُذِنَ لِي فِي الخُرُوجِ» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: الصَّحَابَةُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نَعَمْ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: فَخُذْ - بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - إِحْدَى رَاحِلَتَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بِالثَّمَنِ». قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَجَهَّزْنَاهُمَا أَحَثَّ الجِهَازِ، وَصَنَعْنَا لَهُمَا سُفْرَةً فِي جِرَابٍ، فَقَطَعَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قِطْعَةً مِنْ نِطَاقِهَا، فَرَبَطَتْ بِهِ عَلَى فَمِ الجِرَابِ، فَبِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتْ ذَاتَ النِّطَاقَيْنِ قَالَتْ: ثُمَّ لَحِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ بِغَارٍ فِي جَبَلِ ثَوْرٍ، فَكَمَنَا فِيهِ ثَلاَثَ لَيَالٍ، يَبِيتُ عِنْدَهُمَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَهُوَ غُلاَمٌ شَابٌّ، ثَقِفٌ لَقِنٌ، فَيُدْلِجُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمَا بِسَحَرٍ، فَيُصْبِحُ مَعَ قُرَيْشٍ بِمَكَّةَ كَبَائِتٍ، فَلاَ يَسْمَعُ أَمْرًا، يُكْتَادَانِ بِهِ إِلَّا وَعَاهُ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمَا بِخَبَرِ ذَلِكَ حِينَ يَخْتَلِطُ الظَّلاَمُ، وَيَرْعَى عَلَيْهِمَا عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ مِنْحَةً مِنْ غَنَمٍ، فَيُرِيحُهَا عَلَيْهِمَا حِينَ تَذْهَبُ سَاعَةٌ مِنَ العِشَاءِ، فَيَبِيتَانِ فِي رِسْلٍ، وَهُوَ لَبَنُ مِنْحَتِهِمَا وَرَضِيفِهِمَا، حَتَّى يَنْعِقَ بِهَا عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ بِغَلَسٍ، يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيَالِي الثَّلاَثِ، وَاسْتَأْجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي الدِّيلِ، وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ، هَادِيَا خِرِّيتًا، وَالخِرِّيتُ المَاهِرُ بِالهِدَايَةِ، قَدْ غَمَسَ حِلْفًا فِي آلِ العَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ السَّهْمِيِّ، وَهُوَ عَلَى دِينِ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَأَمِنَاهُ فَدَفَعَا إِلَيْهِ رَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا، وَوَاعَدَاهُ غَارَ ثَوْرٍ بَعْدَ ثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ، بِرَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا صُبْحَ ثَلاَثٍ، وَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُمَا عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ، وَالدَّلِيلُ، فَأَخَذَ بِهِمْ طَرِيقَ السَّوَاحِلِ،

3906. The nephew of Surāqa bin Ju'sham said that his father informed him that he heard Surāqa bin Ju'sham saying, "The messengers of the heathens of Quraish came to us declaring that they had assigned for the persons who would kill or arrest Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abū Bakr, a reward equal to their bloodmoney.(1) While I was sitting in one of the gatherings of my tribe Bani Mudlij, a man from them came to us and stood up while we were sitting, and said, "O Surāqa! No doubt, I have just seen some people far away on the seashore, and I think they are Muḥammad (ﷺ) and his Companions." Surāqa added, "I too realised that it must have been they. But I said, 'No, it is not they, but you have seen so-and-so, and so-and-so whom we saw set out.' I stayed in the gathering for a while and then got up and left for my home, and ordered my slave-girl to get my horse which was behind a hillock, and keep it ready for me. Then I took my spear and left by the back door of my house dragging the lower end of the spear on the ground and keeping it low(2). Then I reached my horse, mounted it and made it gallop. When I approached them (i.e., Muḥammad ﷺ and Abū Bakr), my horse stumbled and I fell down from it. Then I stood up, got hold of my quiver and took out the divining arrows and drew lots as to whether I should harm them (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr) or not, and the lot which I disliked came out. But I remounted my horse and let it gallop, giving no importance to the divining arrows. When I heard the recitation of the Qur'an by Allāh's Messenger ﷺ who did not look hither and thither while Abū Bakr was doing it often, suddenly the forelegs of my horse sank into the ground up to its knees, and I fell down from it. Then I rebuked it and it got up but could hardly take out its forelegs from the ground, and when it stood up straight again, its forelegs caused dust to rise up in the sky like smoke. Then again I drew lots with the divining arrows, and the lot which I disliked, came out. So I called upon them to feel secure. They stopped and I remounted my horse and went to them. When I saw how I had been hampered from harming them, it came to my mind that the cause of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (i.e., Islām) will become victorious. So I said to him, "Your people have assigned a reward equal to the blood-money for your head." Then I told them all the plans the people of Makkah had made concerning them. Then I offered them some journey-food and goods but they refused to take anything and did not ask for anything, but the Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not tell others about us." Then I requested him to write for me a statement of security and peace. He ordered 'Āmr bin Fuhaira who wrote it for me on a parchment, and then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ proceeded on his way." Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ met Az-Zubair in a caravan of Muslim merchants who were returning from Sham. Az-Zubair provided Allāh'sMessenger ﷺ and Abū Bakr with whiteclothes to wear. When the Muslims of Al-Madīna heard the news of the departure ofAllāh's Messenger from Makkah (towardsAl-Madīna), they started going to the Harraevery morning. They would wait for him tillthe heat of the noon forced them to return.One day, after waiting for a long while, theyreturned home, and when they went intotheir houses, a Jew climbed up the roof ofone of the forts of his people to look forsomething, and he saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺand his Companions, dressed in whiteclothes, emerging out of the desert mirage.The Jew could not help shouting at the top ofhis voice, "O you Arabs! Here is your greatman whom you have been waiting for!" So,all the Muslims rushed to their arms andreceived Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on the summitof Harra. The Prophet ﷺ turned with themto the right and alighted at the quarters ofBanī 'Amr bin 'Auf, and this was on Mondayin the month of Rabī-ul-Awwal. Abū Bakrstood up, receiving the people while Allāh'sMessenger ﷺ sat down and kept silent. Someof the Anṣār who came and had not seenAllāh's Messenger ﷺ before, began greetingAbū Bakr, but when the sunshine fell onAllāh's Messenger ﷺ and Abū Bakr cameforward and shaded him with his sheet, onlythen the people came to know Allāh'sMessenger ﷺ. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stayedwith Banī 'Amr bin 'Auf for ten nights andestablished the mosque (mosque of Qubā)which was founded on piety. Allāh'sMessenger ﷺ offered Ṣalāt (prayer) in itand then mounted his she-camel andproceeded on, accompanied by the peopletill his she-camel knelt down at (the place of)the mosque of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ at Al-Madīna. Some Muslims used to offer Ṣalāt (prayer) there in those days, and that place was a yard for drying dates belonging to Suhail and Sahl, two orphan boys who were under the guardianship of Sa'd bin Zurāra. When his she-camel knelt down, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "This place, if Allāh will, will be our abiding place." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then called the two boys and told them to suggest the price for that yard so that he might take it as a mosque. The two boys said, "No, but we will give it as a gift, O Allāh's Messenger!"(1) Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then built a mosque there. The Prophet ﷺ himself started carrying unburnt bricks for its building and while doing so, he was saying: "This load is better than the load of Khaibar, for it is more pious before Allāh and purer and better rewardable." He was also saying, "O Allāh! The actual reward is the reward in the Hereafter, so bestow Your Mercy on the Anṣār and the Muhājirun (emigrants)."

3906 - قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَالِكٍ المُدْلِجِيُّ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَخِي سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ جُعْشُمٍ يَقُولُ: جَاءَنَا رُسُلُ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ، يَجْعَلُونَ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ، دِيَةَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا، مَنْ قَتَلَهُ أَوْ أَسَرَهُ، فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي مَجْلِسٍ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ قَوْمِي بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ، أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ، حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ، فَقَالَ يَا سُرَاقَةُ: إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ آنِفًا أَسْوِدَةً بِالسَّاحِلِ، أُرَاهَا مُحَمَّدًا وَأَصْحَابَهُ، قَالَ سُرَاقَةُ: فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُمْ هُمْ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا بِهِمْ، وَلَكِنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ فُلاَنًا وَفُلاَنًا، انْطَلَقُوا بِأَعْيُنِنَا، ثُمَّ لَبِثْتُ فِي المَجْلِسِ سَاعَةً، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَدَخَلْتُ فَأَمَرْتُ جَارِيَتِي أَنْ تَخْرُجَ بِفَرَسِي، وَهِيَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ أَكَمَةٍ، فَتَحْبِسَهَا عَلَيَّ، وَأَخَذْتُ رُمْحِي، فَخَرَجْتُ بِهِ مِنْ ظَهْرِ البَيْتِ، فَحَطَطْتُ بِزُجِّهِ الأَرْضَ، وَخَفَضْتُ عَالِيَهُ، حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ فَرَسِي فَرَكِبْتُهَا، فَرَفَعْتُهَا تُقَرِّبُ بِي، حَتَّى دَنَوْتُ مِنْهُمْ، فَعَثَرَتْ بِي فَرَسِي، فَخَرَرْتُ عَنْهَا، فَقُمْتُ فَأَهْوَيْتُ يَدِي إِلَى كِنَانَتِي، فَاسْتَخْرَجْتُ مِنْهَا الأَزْلاَمَ فَاسْتَقْسَمْتُ بِهَا: أَضُرُّهُمْ أَمْ لاَ، فَخَرَجَ الَّذِي أَكْرَهُ، فَرَكِبْتُ فَرَسِي، وَعَصَيْتُ الأَزْلاَمَ، تُقَرِّبُ بِي حَتَّى إِذَا سَمِعْتُ قِرَاءَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهُوَ لاَ يَلْتَفِتُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يُكْثِرُ الِالْتِفَاتَ، سَاخَتْ يَدَا فَرَسِي فِي الأَرْضِ، حَتَّى بَلَغَتَا الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ، فَخَرَرْتُ عَنْهَا، ثُمَّ زَجَرْتُهَا فَنَهَضَتْ، فَلَمْ تَكَدْ تُخْرِجُ يَدَيْهَا، فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَتْ قَائِمَةً، إِذَا لِأَثَرِ يَدَيْهَا عُثَانٌ سَاطِعٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ مِثْلُ الدُّخَانِ، فَاسْتَقْسَمْتُ بِالأَزْلاَمِ، فَخَرَجَ الَّذِي أَكْرَهُ، فَنَادَيْتُهُمْ بِالأَمَانِ فَوَقَفُوا، فَرَكِبْتُ فَرَسِي حَتَّى جِئْتُهُمْ، وَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي حِينَ لَقِيتُ مَا لَقِيتُ مِنَ الحَبْسِ عَنْهُمْ، أَنْ سَيَظْهَرُ أَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ جَعَلُوا فِيكَ الدِّيَةَ، وَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ أَخْبَارَ مَا يُرِيدُ النَّاسُ بِهِمْ، وَعَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الزَّادَ وَالمَتَاعَ، فَلَمْ يَرْزَآنِي وَلَمْ يَسْأَلاَنِي، إِلَّا أَنْ قَالَ: «أَخْفِ عَنَّا». فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لِي كِتَابَ أَمْنٍ، فَأَمَرَ عَامِرَ بْنَ فُهَيْرَةَ فَكَتَبَ فِي رُقْعَةٍ مِنْ أَدِيمٍ، ثُمَّ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، فَأَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقِيَ الزُّبَيْرَ فِي رَكْبٍ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ، كَانُوا تِجَارًا قَافِلِينَ مِنَ الشَّأْمِ، فَكَسَا الزُّبَيْرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ ثِيَابَ بَيَاضٍ، وَسَمِعَ المُسْلِمُونَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَخْرَجَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ، فَكَانُوا يَغْدُونَ كُلَّ غَدَاةٍ إِلَى الحَرَّةِ، فَيَنْتَظِرُونَهُ حَتَّى يَرُدَّهُمْ حَرُّ الظَّهِيرَةِ، فَانْقَلَبُوا يَوْمًا بَعْدَ مَا أَطَالُوا انْتِظَارَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا أَوَوْا إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ، أَوْفَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ يَهُودَ عَلَى أُطُمٍ مِنْ آطَامِهِمْ، لِأَمْرٍ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ، فَبَصُرَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ مُبَيَّضِينَ يَزُولُ بِهِمُ السَّرَابُ، فَلَمْ يَمْلِكِ اليَهُودِيُّ أَنْ قَالَ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: يَا مَعَاشِرَ العَرَبِ، هَذَا جَدُّكُمُ الَّذِي تَنْتَظِرُونَ، فَثَارَ المُسْلِمُونَ إِلَى السِّلاَحِ، فَتَلَقَّوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِظَهْرِ الحَرَّةِ، فَعَدَلَ بِهِمْ ذَاتَ اليَمِينِ، حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِهِمْ فِي بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ، وَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الأَوَّلِ، فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِلنَّاسِ، وَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَامِتًا، فَطَفِقَ مَنْ جَاءَ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ - مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُحَيِّي أَبَا بَكْرٍ، حَتَّى أَصَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَتَّى ظَلَّلَ عَلَيْهِ بِرِدَائِهِ، فَعَرَفَ النَّاسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَلَبِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً، وَأُسِّسَ المَسْجِدُ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى، وَصَلَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ رَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ، فَسَارَ يَمْشِي مَعَهُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى بَرَكَتْ عِنْدَ مَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ رِجَالٌ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ، وَكَانَ مِرْبَدًا لِلتَّمْرِ، لِسُهَيْلٍ وَسَهْلٍ غُلاَمَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِي حَجْرِ أَسْعَدَ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ بَرَكَتْ بِهِ رَاحِلَتُهُ: «هَذَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ المَنْزِلُ». ثُمَّ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الغُلاَمَيْنِ فَسَاوَمَهُمَا بِالْمِرْبَدِ، لِيَتَّخِذَهُ مَسْجِدًا، فَقَالاَ: لاَ، بَلْ نَهَبُهُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَقْبَلَهُ مِنْهُمَا هِبَةً حَتَّى ابْتَاعَهُ مِنْهُمَا، ثُمَّ بَنَاهُ مَسْجِدًا، وَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْقُلُ مَعَهُمُ اللَّبِنَ فِي بُنْيَانِهِ وَيَقُولُ، وَهُوَ يَنْقُلُ اللَّبِنَ: " هَذَا الحِمَالُ لاَ حِمَالَ خَيْبَرْ، هَذَا أَبَرُّ رَبَّنَا وَأَطْهَرْ، وَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الأَجْرَ أَجْرُ الآخِرَهْ، فَارْحَمِ الأَنْصَارَ، وَالمُهَاجِرَهْ " فَتَمَثَّلَ بِشِعْرِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ لَمْ يُسَمَّ لِي قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَلَمْ يَبْلُغْنَا فِي الأَحَادِيثِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَمَثَّلَ بِبَيْتِ شِعْرٍ تَامٍّ غَيْرَ هَذَا البَيْتِ

3907. Narrated Asmā' رضي الله عنها prepared the journey-food for the Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr when they wanted (to emigrate to) Al-Madīna. I said to my father (Abū Bakr), "I do not have anything to tie the container of the journey-food with except my waist belt." He said, "Divide it lengthwise into two." I did so, and for this reason I was named 'Dhāt-un-Niṭāqain' (i.e., the owner of two belts). (Ibn 'Abbās said, "Asmā', Dhāt-un-Niṭāq.")

3908. Narrated Al-Barā' رضي الله عنه: When the Prophet ﷺ emigrated to Al-Madīna, Surāqa bin Mālik bin Ju'sham pursued him. The Prophet ﷺ invoked evil on him, therefore the forelegs of his horse sank into the ground. Surāqa said (to the Prophet ﷺ), "Invoke Allāh to rescue me, and I will not harm you." The Prophet ﷺ invoked Allāh for him. Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ felt thirsty and he passed by a shepherd. Abū Bakr said, "I took a bowl and milked a little milk in it and brought it to the Prophet ﷺ and he drank till I was pleased."

3909. Narrated Asmā' رضي الله عنها that she conceived 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair. She added, "I emigrated to Al-Madīna while I was at full term of pregnancy and alighted at Qubā, where I gave birth to him. Then I brought him to the Prophet ﷺ and put him on his lap. The Prophet ﷺ asked for a date-fruit, chewed it, and put some of its juice in the child's mouth. So, the first thing that entered the child's stomach was the saliva of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Then the Prophet ﷺ rubbed the child's palate with a date-fruit and invoked for Allāh's Blessings on him, and he was the first child born (amongst the emigrants) in the Islāmic Land (i.e., Al-Madīna)."

3911. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ arrived at Al-Madīna with Abū Bakr, riding behind him on the same camel. Abū Bakr was an elderly man known to the people, while Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was a youth that was unknown. Thus, if a man met Abū Bakr, he would say, "O Abū Bakr! Who is this man in front of you?" Abū Bakr would say, "This man shows me the way." One would think that Abū Bakr meant the road, while in fact, Abū Bakr meant the way of virtue and good. Then Abū Bakr looked behind and saw a horse-rider pursuing them. He said, "O Allāh's Messenger! There is a horse-rider pursuing us." The Prophet ﷺ looked behind and said, "O Allāh! Cause him to fall down." So the horse threw him down and got up neighing. After that the rider, Surāqa said, "O Allāh's Prophet! Order me whatever you want." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Stay where you are and do not allow anybody to reach us." So, in the first part of the day Surāqa was an enemy of Allāh's Prophet ﷺ and in the last part of it, he was a protector. Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ alighted by the side of the Al-Ḥarra and sent a message to the Anṣār, and they came to Allāh's Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr, and having greeted them, they said, "Ride (your she-camel) safe and obeyed." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and Abū Bakr rode and the Anṣār, carrying their arms, surrounded them. The news that Allāh's Prophet ﷺ had come circulated in Al-Madīna. The people came out and were eagerly looking and saying, "Allāh's Prophet has come! Allāh's Prophet has come!" So the Prophet ﷺ went on till he alighted near the house of Abū Ayyūb. While the Prophet ﷺ was speaking with the family members of Abū Ayyūb, 'Abdullāh bin Salām heard the news of his arrival while he himself was picking the dates for his family from his family garden. He hurried to the Prophet ﷺ, carrying the dates which he had collected for his family from the garden. He listened to Allāh's Prophet ﷺ and then went home. Then Allāh's Prophet ﷺ said, "Which is the nearest of the houses of our kith and kin?" Abū Ayyūb replied, "Mine, O Allāh's Prophet! This is my house and this is my gate.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Go and prepare a place for our midday rest.” Abū Ayyūb said, “Get up (both of you) with Allāh’s Blessings.” So, when Allāh’s Prophet ﷺ went into the house, ‘Abdullāh bin Salām came and said, “I testify that you (Muḥammad ﷺ) are the Messenger of Allāh and that you have come with the Truth. The Jews know well that I am their chief and the son of their chief and the most learned amongst them and the son of the most learned amongst them. So, send for them (Jews) and ask them about me before they know that I have embraced Islām, for if they know that they will say about me things which are not correct.” So Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ sent for them, and they came and entered. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said to them, “O (the group of) Jews! Woe to you; be afraid of Allāh. By Allah, except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, you people know for certain that I am the Messenger of Allāh and that I have come to you with the Truth, so embrace Islām” The Jews replied, “We do not know this.” So they said this to the Prophet ﷺ and he repeated it thrice. Then he said, “What sort of a man is ‘Abdullāh bin Salām amongst you?” They said, “He is our chief and the son of our chief and the most learned man, and the son of the most learned amongst us.” He said, “What would you think if he should embrace Islām?” They said, “Allāh forbid! He can not embrace Islām.” He said, “What would you think if he should embrace Islām?” They said, “Allāh forbid! He can not embrace Islām.” He said, “O Ibn Salām! Come out to them.” He came out and said, “O (the group of) Jews! Be afraid of Allāh except Whom none has the right to be worshipped. You know for certain that he is the Messenger of Allāh and that he has brought a true religion!” They said, “You tell a lie.” On that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ turned them out.

3912. Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما: Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭab رضي الله عنه fixed a grant of 4000 (Dirham) for every early emigrant (i.e., Muhājir) and fixed a grant of 3500 (Dirham) only for Ibn ‘Umar. Somebody said to ‘Umar, “Ibn ‘Umar is also one of the early emigrants; why do you give him less than four thousand?” ‘Umar replied, “His parents took him with them when they emigrated, so he was not like the one who had emigrated by himself.”

English translation

3914. Narrated Khabbāb: We emigrated with Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ seeking Allāh’s Countenance, so our rewards became due and sure with Allāh. Some of us passed away without eating anything of their rewards in this world. One of these was Muṣ’ab bin ‘Umar who was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. We did not find anything to shroud his body with except a striped cloak. When we covered his head with it, his feet remained uncovered, and when we covered his feet with it, his head remained uncovered. So, Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ ordered us to cover his head with it and put some Idhkhīr (i.e., a kind of grass) over his feet. And there are some amongst us whose fruits have ripened and they are collecting them (i.e., they have received their rewards in this world).

3915. Narrated Abū Burda bin Abī Mūsā Al-Ash‘arī: ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar said to me, “Do you know what my father said to your father once?” I said, “No.” He said, “My father said to your father, ‘O Abū Mūsā, will it please you that we will be rewarded for our conversion to Islām with Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and our emigration with him, and our Jihād with him and all our good deeds which we did with him, and that all the deeds we did after his death will be disregarded whether good or bad?’(1) Your father (i.e., Abū Mūsā) said, ‘No, by Allāh, we took part in Jihād after Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ, offered Ṣalāt (prayer) and did plenty of good deeds, and many people have embraced Islām at our hands, and no doubt, we expect rewards from Allāh for these good deeds.’ On that my father (i.e., ‘Umar) said, ‘As for myself, by Him in Whose Hand ‘Umar’s soul is, I wish that the deeds done by us at the time of the Prophet ﷺ remain rewardable, while whatsoever we did after the death of the Prophet ﷺ be enough to save us from punishment in that the good deeds compensate for the bad ones.'" On that I said (to Ibn 'Umar), "By Allāh, your father was better than my father!"

Narrated Abū 'Uthmān: I heard that Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهم used to become angry if someone mentioned that he had emigrated before his father ('Umar), and he used to say, " 'Umar and I came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and found him having his midday rest, so we returned home. Then 'Umar sent me again (to the Prophet ﷺ) and said, 'Go and see whether he is awake.' I went to him and entered his place and gave him the Bai'a (pledge). Then I went back to 'Umar and informed him that the Prophet ﷺ was awake. So, we both went, running slowly, and when 'Umar entered his place, he gave him the Bai'a and thereafter I too gave him the Bai'a."

3917. Narrated Al-Barā': رضي الله عنه: Abū Bakr bought a (camel's) saddle from 'Āzib, and I carried it for him. 'Āzib (i.e., my father) asked Abū Bakr regarding the journey of the emigration of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, Abū Bakr said, "Close observers were appointed by our enemies to watch us. So we went out at night and travelled throughout the night and the following day till it was noon, then we perceived a rock and went towards it, and there was some shade under it. I spread a cloak I had with me for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and then the Prophet ﷺ lay on it. I went out to guard him and all of a sudden I saw a shepherd coming with his sheep looking for the same (the shade of the rock as we did). I asked him, 'O boy, to whom do you belong?' He replied, 'I belong to so-and-so.' I asked him, 'Is there any milk with your sheep?' He replied in the affirmative. I asked him, 'Will you milk (them for us)?' He replied in the affirmative. Then he got hold of one of his ewe. I said to him, 'Remove the dust from its udder.' Then he milked a little milk. I had a water-skin with me which was tied with a piece of cloth. I had prepared the waterskin for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. So, I poured some water over the milk (container) till its bottom became cold. Then I brought the milk to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Drink, O Allāh's Messenger.' Allāh's Messenger ﷺ drank till I was pleased. Then we departed and the pursuers were following us."

The matter of emigration is very difficult. Have you got some camels?" He replied in the affirmative. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you give their Zakāt?" He replied in the affirmative. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you let others benefit by their milk gratis?" He replied in the affirmative.

Then there came Bilāl, Sa'd and 'Ammār bin Yāsir. After that 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭab came along with twenty other Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. Later on, the Prophet ﷺ himself came (to Al-Madīna) and I had never seen the people of Al-Madīna so joyful as they were on the arrival of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, for even the slave-girls were saying, "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ has arrived!" And before his arrival I had read the Sūrah starting with :- "Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High." (V.87:1) together with other Sūrah from Al-Muṣaṣṣal family [i.e., the Sūrah starting from Sūrah Qaf (No. 50) till the end of the Qur'ān, Sūrah No. 114].

رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا 3926. Narrated 'Āishah: When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came to Al-Madīna, Abū Bakr and Bilāl got fever, and I went to both of them and said, "O my father, how do you feel? O Bilāl, how do you feel?" Whenever Abū Bakr's fever got worse, he would say, "Everybody is staying alive among his people yet death is nearer to him than his shoe-laces." And whenever fever deserted Bilāl, he would say aloud, "Would that I could stay overnight in a valley, wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhīr and Jalīl (i.e., two kinds of good smelling grass), would that I could drink one day the water of Mijannah, and would that Shāmah and Taṣīl (two mountains at Makkah) would appear to me?" Then I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and told him of that. He said, "O Allāh, make us love Al-Madīna as much as or more than we used to love Makkah, O Allāh, make it healthy and bless its Sā' and Mudd (i.e., measures), and take away its fever to Al-Juhfa.”(1)
