English translation

4474. Narrated Abū Sa'īd bin Al-Mu'allā : While I was offering Ṣalāt (prayer) in the mosque, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ called me but I did not respond to him. Later I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I was offering Ṣalāt (prayer)." He said, "Didn't Allāh say: 'Answer Allāh (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he (ﷺ) calls you.'" (V.8:24) He then said to me, "I will teach (1) (Book : 65) First Sūrah in the Qur'an. you a Sūrah which is the greatest Sūrah in the Qur'an, before you leave the mosque." Then he got hold of my hand, and when he intended to leave (the mosque), I said to him, "Didn't you say to me, 'I will teach you a Sūrah which is the greatest Sūrah in the Qur'an'?" He said, "Al-ḥamdu-lillāhi Rabbil 'ālamīn [all the praises and thanks be to Allāh, the Lord(1) of the 'Ālamīn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)] (Sūrat-al-Fātiḥa) which is As-Sab'a Al-Mathānī (i.e., the seven repeatedly recited Verses) and the Grand Qur'an which has been given to me."

4476. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "On the Day of Resurrection the believers will assemble and say, 'Let us ask somebody to intercede for us with our Lord.' So they will go to Adam and say, 'You are the father of all the people, and Allāh created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things; so please intercede for us with your Lord, so that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this (i.e., intercession for you).' Then Adam will remember his sin and feel ashamed thereof. He will say, 'Go to Nūh (Noah), for he was the first Messenger Allāh sent to the inhabitants of the earth.' They will go to him and Nūh will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.' He will remember his appeal to his Lord to do something of which he had no knowledge, then he will feel ashamed thereof and will say, 'Go to Khalīl Ar-Raḥmān(1) [i.e., Ibrāhīm (Abraham)].' They will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. Go to Mūsā (Moses), the slave to whom Allāh spoke (directly) and gave him the Taurat (Torah).' So they will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and he will mention (his) killing a person who was not a killer, and so he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord, and he will say, 'Go to 'Īsā (Jesus), Allāh's slave, His Messenger and Allāh's Word and a Spirit coming from Him'.(1) 'Īsā will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, go to Muḥammad ﷺ the slave of Allāh, whose past and future sins were forgiven by Allāh.' So, they will come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my Lord's Permission and I will be given permission. When I will see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration and He will let me remain in that state as long as He will wish and then I will be addressed: '(Muḥammad!) Raise your head. Ask, and your request will be granted; say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my head and praise Allāh with a saying (i.e., invocation) He will teach me, and then I will intercede. He will fix a limit for me (to intercede for) whom I will admit into Paradise. Then I will come back again to Allāh, and when I will see my Lord, the same thing will happen to me. And then I will intercede and Allāh will fix a limit for me to intercede whom I will admit into Paradise, then I will come back for the third time; and then I will come back for the fourth time, and will say, 'None remains in Hell but those whom the Qur'ān has imprisoned (in Hell) and who have been destined to an eternal stay in Hell.' " (The compiler) Abū 'Abdullāh said: "But those whom the Qur'ān has imprisoned in Hell," refers to the Statement of Allāh تعالى: "To abide therein!..." (V.16:29)

He said, "That you set up a rival unto Allāh though He Alone created you." I said, "That is indeed a great sin." Then I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To kill your son lest he (1) (Ch. 2) Al-Mushrikūn: the polytheist, idolaters, pagans and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ. should share your food with you.” I asked, “What is next?” He said, “To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbour.”

4480. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: 'Abdullāh bin Salām heard the news of the arrival of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (at Al-Madīna) while he was on a farm collecting its fruits. So he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I will ask you about three things which nobody knows unless he be a Prophet — What is the first portent of the Hour? What is the first meal of the people of Paradise? And what makes a baby resemble its father or mother?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Just now Jibrīl (Gabriel) has informed me about that." 'Abdullāh said, "Jibrīl?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes." 'Abdullāh said, "He, among the angels is the enemy of the Jews." On that the Prophet ﷺ recited this Holy Verse: '...Whoever is an enemy to Jibrīl (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'ān) down to your heart...' (V.2:97) Then he added, "As for the first portent of the Hour, it will be a fire that will collect the people from the east to west. And as for the first meal of the people of Paradise, it will be the caudate (i.e., extra lobe) of the fish liver. And if a man's discharge preceded that of the women, then the child resembles the father, and if the woman's discharge preceded that of the man, then the child resembles the mother." On hearing that, =So, Allāh punished them severely by sending on them punishment in the form of an epidemic of plague (disease). See also Vol.4, Hadīth No. 3403. (1) (Ch. 6) Thus Jibrīl (Gabriel), Mikā'el (Michael) and Isrāfil (Sarāfil) each means Allāh's slave. ‘Abdullāh said, “I testify that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) and that you are the Messenger of Allāh, O Allāh’s Messenger; the Jews are liars, and if they should come to know that I have embraced Islām, they would accuse me of being a liar.” In the meantime some Jews came (to the Prophet ﷺ) and he asked them, “What is ‘Abdullāh’s status amongst you?” They replied, “He is the best amongst us, and he is our chief and the son of our chief.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “What would you say if ‘Abdullāh bin Salām embraced Islām?” They replied, “May Allāh protect him from this!” Then ‘Abdullāh came out and said, “I testify that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh) and that Muḥammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allāh.” The Jews then said, “Abdullāh is the worst of us, and the son of the worst of us,” and disparaged him. On that ‘Abdullāh said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! This is what I was afraid of!”

4482. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهم: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Allāh said, ‘The son of Adam tells a lie against Me, though he has no right to do so; and he abuses Me, though he has no right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is that he claims that I cannot recreate him as I created him before; and as for his abusing Me, it is his statement that I have a son (children or offspring etc.). No! Glorified be Me! I am far from taking a wife or a son (or offspring).’”

4483. Narrated Anas: ‘Umar رضي الله عنه said, “I agreed with Allāh in three things,” or said, “My Lord agreed with me (accepted my invocation) in three things. I said, ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! Would that you took the Maqām (place) of Ibrāhīm (Abraham) as a place of Ṣalāt (prayer).’ I also said, ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! Good and bad persons visit you! Would that you ordered the Mothers of the believers to cover themselves with veils.’ So the Divine Verses of Al-Hijāb (i.e., veiling of the women) were revealed. I came to know that the Prophet ﷺ had blamed some of his wives, so, I entered upon them and said, ‘You should either stop (troubling the Prophet ﷺ) or else Allāh will give His Messenger ﷺ better wives than you.’ When I came to one of his wives, she said to me, 'O 'Umar! Does Allāh's Messenger ﷺ haven't what he could advise his wives with, that you try to advise them?'

4484. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها the wife of the Prophet ﷺ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Don't you see that when your people built the Ka'bah, they did not built it on all Ibrāhīm's (Abraham's) foundations (i.e., the original foundations laid by Ibrāhīm)?" I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Why don't you rebuild it on Ibrāhīm's foundations?" He said, "Were your people not so close to the period of heathenism, (i.e., the period between their being Muslims and being infidels), I would do so." The subnarrator, 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar said, "'Aishah had surely heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying that, for I do not think that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ left touching the two corners of the Ka'bah facing Al-Hijr except because the Ka'bah was not built on all Abraham's foundations."

4486. Narrated Al-Barā' رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ offered Ṣalāt (prayer) facing Bait-ul-Maḳdis (i.e., Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months but he wished that his Qiblah would be the Ka'bah (at Makkah). [So Allāh revealed (V.2:144)]. And he offered 'Aṣr prayer (in his mosque facing Ka'bah at Makkah) and some people offered Ṣalāt (prayer) with him. A man from among those who had offered Salāt (prayer) with him, went out and passed by some people offering Salāt (prayer) in another mosque, and they were in the state of bowing. He said, "I (swearing by Allāh) testify that I have offered Salāt (prayer) with the Prophet ﷺ facing Makkah." Hearing that, they turned their faces towards the direction of Ka'bah while they were still bowing. Some men had died before the Qiblah was changed towards the Ka'bah. They had been killed and we did not know what to say about them (i.e., whether their Salāt (prayer) towards Jerusalem were accepted or not). So Allāh revealed: "... And Allāh would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e., your prayer offered towards Jerusalem). Truly, Allāh is full of kindness, the Most Merciful towards mankind." (V.2:143)

They will say, 'No warner came to us.' Then Allāh will say (to Nūh), 'Who will bear witness in your favour?' He will say, 'Muhammad (ﷺ) and his followers.' So they (i.e., Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message. And the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) will be a witness over you, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allāh: 'Thus We have made of you [true Muslims—real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his Sunna (legal ways)], a just (and the best) nation, that you may be witnesses over mankind, and the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) will be a witness over you...'

So, it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or Umra (pilgrimage) of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the going (Tawāf) between them. (Aṣ-Ṣafa and Al-Marwa).' In my opinion it is not sinful for one not to ambulate (Tawāf) between them." 'Āishah said, "Your interpretation is wrong, for as you say, the Verse should have been: "So it is not a sin on him who performs the Hajj or Umra to the House, not to perform the going (Tawāf) between them.' This Verse was revealed in connection with the Anṣār who (during the pre-Islāmic period) used to visit Manāt (i.e., an idol) after assuming their Iḥrām, and it was situated near Qudaid (i.e., a place near Makkah), and they used to regard it sinful to ambulate between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa(1), after embracing Islām. When Islām came (i.e., after they embraced Islam), they asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about it, whereupon Allāh revealed:- 'Verily! Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allāh. So, it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj or Umra (pilgrimage) of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) to perform the going (Tawāf) between them (Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa)...'" (V.2:158)

What made you perform Hajj in one year and Umra in another year and leave the Jihād for Allāh’s Cause, though you know how much Allāh recommends it?” Ibn ‘Umar replied, “O son of my brother! Islām is founded on five principles (and they are): (1) To believe in Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ, (2) To offer the five compulsory Ṣalāt (prayers), (3) To observe fasts in the month of Ramaḍān, (4) To pay the Zakāt, (5) to perform the Hajj [pilgrimage to the House (of Allāh)].” The man said, “O Abū ‘Abdur-Raḥmān! Won’t you listen to what Allāh has mentioned in His Book: ‘And if two parties (or groups) among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both, but if one of them outrages against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which outrages till it complies with the Command of Allāh.' (V.49:9) 'And fight them till there is no more Fitnah,' Ibn 'Umar said, "We did it during the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ when Islām had only a few followers.

Then, if he rides and proceeds to 'Arafāt, he should take a Hady (animal for sacrifice), either a camel, a cow or a sheep, whatever he can afford; but if he cannot afford it, he should observe fast for three days during the Hajj before the day of 'Arafah, but if the third day of his fasting happens to be the day of 'Arafah (i.e., 9th of Dhūl-Hijja), then it is no sin on him (to observe fast on it). Then he should proceed to 'Arafāt and stay there from the time of the 'Asr prayer till darkness falls (sunset). Then they (the pilgrims) should proceed from 'Arafāt, and when they have departed from it, they reach Jam' (i.e., Al-Muzdalifa) where they ask Allāh to help them to be righteous and dutiful to Him, and there they remember Allāh much and say Takbīr [i.e., Allāhu Akbar (Allāh is the Most Great)] and Tahlīl (i.e., Lā ilāha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh)] repeatedly before dawn breaks. Then, after offering the morning (Fajr) prayer you should depart and proceed on (to Mina) for the people used to depart (from there at that time), and Allāh تعالى said : "Then depart from the place whence all the people depart. And ask Allāh for His forgiveness. Truly, Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (V.2:199) Then you should go on doing so till you throw pebbles at the Jamrat (Al-'Aqaba).

(V.2:240) So Allāh تعالى entitled the widow to be bequeathed extra maintenance for seven months and twenty nights, and that is the completion of one year. If she wished she could stay (in her husband's home) according to the will, and she could leave it if she wished, as Allāh says: “...Without turning them out, but if they (wives) leave, there is no sin on you...” So the Idda (i.e., four months ten days as it) is obligatory for her. ‘Aṭā said: Ibn ‘Abbās said, “This Verse, i.e., the Statement of Allāh تعالى: “...Without turning them out...” cancelled the obligation of staying for the waiting period in her dead husband’s house, and she can complete this period wherever she likes.” ‘Aṭā’ said, “If she wished, she could complete her Idda by staying in her dead husband’s residence according to the will or leave it according to Allāh’s Statement: “...There is no sin on you for that which they do with themselves...” ‘Aṭā’ added, “Later the regulations of inheritance came and abrogated the order of the dwelling of the widow (in her dead husband’s house), so she could complete the Idda wherever she likes. And it was no longer necessary to provide her with a residence. Ibn ‘Abbās said, “This Verse abrogated her (i.e., widow’s) dwelling in her dead husband’s house and she could complete the Idda (i.e., four months and ten days) wherever she liked, as Allāh’s Statement says: “... Without turning them out...”

I mentioned the narration of ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Utba regarding the question of Subai’a bint Al-Hārīth. ‘Abdur-Raḥmān said, “But ‘Abdullāh’s uncle used not to say so.” I said, “I am too brave if I tell a lie concerning a person who is now in Al-Kūfa,” I raised my voice. Then I went out and met Mālik bin ‘Āmir or Mālik bin ‘Aūf, and said, “What was the verdict of Ibn Mas’ūd about the pregnant widow whose husband had died?” He replied, “Ibn Mas’ūd said, ‘Why do you impose on her the hard order and don’t let her make use of the leave? The shorter Sūrah of women (i.e. Sūrat Aṭ-Ṭalāq) was revealed after the longer Sūrah (i.e., Sūrat Al-Baqarah).’” (i.e., her Idḍa is up till she delivers.)

4535. Narrated Nāfi': Whenever 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا was asked about Salāt-al-Khauf (i.e., Fear Prayer) he said, "The Imām comes forward with a group of people and leads them in a one Rak'a Salāt (prayer) while another group from them who has not offered Salāt (prayer) yet, stay between the offering Salāt (prayer) group and the enemy. When those who are with the Imām have finished their one-Rak'a, they retreat and take the positions of those who have not offered Salāt (prayer) but they will not finish their Salāt (prayer) with Taslīm. Those who have not offered Salāt, (prayer) come forward to offer a Rak'a with the Imām (while the first group covers them from the enemy). Then the Imām, having offered two Rak'a, finishes his Salāt (prayer). Then each member of the two groups offer the second Rak'a alone after the Imām has finished his Salāt (prayer). Thus each one of the two groups will have offered two Rak'a. But if the fear is too great, they can offer Salāt (prayer) standing on their feet or riding on their mounts, facing the Qiblah or not." Nāfi' added: I do not think that 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar narrated this except from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. [See Vol. 5, Hadīth No. 4129 and 4131 for details about Salāt-al-Khauf]

So, as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials) and seeking for its hidden meanings; but none knows its hidden meanings save Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: 'We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord.' And none receive admonition except men of understanding."

4553. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما: Abū Sufyān narrated to me personally, saying, “I set out during the truce that had been concluded between me and Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ. While I was in Sham, a letter sent by the Prophet ﷺ was brought to Heraclius. Dihya Al-Kalbī had brought and given it to the governor of Baṣrah, and the latter forwarded it to Heraclius. Heraclius said, ‘Is there anyone from the people of this man who claims to be a Prophet?’ The people replied, ‘Yes.’ So, I along with some of Quraishi men, were called and we entered upon Heraclius, and we were seated in front of him. Then he said, ‘Who amongst you is closely related to the man who claims to be a Prophet?’ I replied, ‘I am the nearest relative to him.’ So they made me sit in front of him and made my companions sit behind me. Then he called upon his translator and said (to him). ‘Tell them (i.e., Abū Sufyān’s companions) that I am going to ask him (i.e., Abū Sufyān) regarding that man who claims to be a Prophet. So, if he tell me a lie, they should contradict him (instantly)'. By Allāh! Had I not been afraid that my companions would consider me a liar, I would have told lies. Heraclius then said to his translator, 'Ask him: What is his (i.e., the Prophet's) family status amongst you?' I said, 'He belongs to a noble family amongst us.' Heraclius said, 'Was any of his ancestors a king?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Did you ever accuse him of telling lies before his saying what he has said?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Do the nobles follow him or the poor people?' I said, 'It is the poor who follow him.' He said, 'Is the number of his followers increasing or decreasing?' I said, 'They are increasing.' He said, 'Does anyone renounce his religion (i.e., Islām) after embracing it, being displeased with it?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Have you ever had a war with him?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?' I said, 'The fighting between us was undecided and victory was shared by him and us by turns. He inflicts casualties upon us and we inflict casualties upon him.' He said, 'Did he ever betray?' I said 'No, but now we are away from him in this truce and we do not know what he will do in it.''' Abū Sufyān added, "By Allāh, I was not able to insert in my speech a word (against him) except that. Heraclius said, 'Did anybody else (amongst you) ever claimed the same (i.e., Islām) before him?' I said, 'No.' Then Heraclius told his translator to tell me (i.e., Abū Sufyān), 'I asked you about his family status amongst you, and you told me that he comes from a noble family amongst you. Verily, all Messengers come from the noblest family among their people. Then I asked you whether any of his ancestors was a king, and you denied that. Thereupon I thought that had one of his ancestors been a king, I would have said that he (i.e., Muḥammad ﷺ) was seeking to rule the kingdom of his ancestors. Then I asked you regarding his followers, whether they were the noble or the poor among the people, and you said that they were only the poor (who follow him). In fact, such are the followers of the Messengers. Then I asked you whether you have ever accused him of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. Therefore, I took, for granted that a man who did not tell a lie about others, could never tell a lie about Allāh. Then I asked you whether anyone of his followers had renounced his religion (i.e., Islām) after embracing it, being displeased with it, and you denied that. And such is Faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You claimed that they were increasing. That is the way of True Faith till it is complete in all respects. Then I asked you whether you had ever fought with him, and you claimed that you had fought with him and the battle between you and him was undecided and the victory was shared by you and him in turns; he inflicted casualties upon you, and you inflicted casualties upon them. Such is the case with the Messengers; they are put to trials and the final victory is for them. Then I asked you whether he had ever betrayed; you claimed that he had never betrayed. Indeed, Messengers never betray. Then I asked you whether anyone had said this statement before him; and you denied that. Thereupon I thought if somebody had said that statement before him, then I would have said that he was but a man copying some sayings said before him.'” Abū Safyān said, “Heraclius then asked me, ‘What does he order you to do?' I said, 'He orders us (to offer) Ṣalāt (prayers) and (to pay) Zakāt and to keep good relationship with the kith and kin and to be chaste.' Then Heraclius said, 'If whatever you have said is true, he is really a Prophet, and I knew that he (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ) was going to appear, but I never thought that he would be from amongst you. If I were certain that I can reach him, I would like to meet him and if I were with him, I would wash his feet; and his kingdom will expand (surely) to what is under my feet.' Then Heraclius asked for the letter of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and read it wherein was written: In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. (This letter is) from Muḥammad ﷺ the Messenger of Allāh, to Heraclius, the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the Right Path. Then after, I invite you to Islām, and if you embrace Islām you will be safe (will be saved from Allāh's punishment); embrace Islām, and Allāh will double your reward, but if you reject this invitation of Islām, you will be committing a sin (by misguiding your) Arisiyīn (peasants). And (I recite to you Allāh's Statement): 'O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allāh... (till) ... bear witness that we are Muslims.' (V.3:64) When Heraclius finished reading the letter, voices grew louder near him and there was a great hue and cry, and we were ordered to go out." Abū Sufyān added, "While coming out, I said to my companions, 'The matter of Ibn Abū Kabsha(1) (i.e., Muḥammad ﷺ) has become so prominent that even the king of Banu Al-Aṣfar is afraid of him.' So I continued to believe that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would be victorious, till Allāh made me embrace Islām." Az-Zuhri said, "Heraclius then invited all the chiefs of the Byzantine and got them assembled in his house and said, 'O group of Byzantine! Do you wish to have a permanent success and guidance and that your kingdom should remain with you?' (Immediately after hearing that), they rushed towards the gate like onagers, but they found them closed. Heraclius then said, 'Bring them back to me.' So he called them and said, 'I just wanted to test the strength of your adherence to your religion. Now I have observed of you that which I like.' Then the people fell in prostration before him and became pleased with him." [See Vol. 1, Hadīth No. 7.]

كَانَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَبَيْنَا أَنَا بِالشَّأْمِ، إِذْ جِيءَ بِكِتَابٍ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ دَحْيَةُ الكَلْبِيُّ جَاءَ بِهِ، فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى عَظِيمِ بُصْرَى، فَدَفَعَهُ عَظِيمُ بُصْرَى إِلَى هِرَقْلَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ هِرَقْلُ: هَلْ هَا هُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ قَوْمِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ؟ فَقَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَدُعِيتُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى هِرَقْلَ فَأُجْلِسْنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّكُمْ أَقْرَبُ نَسَبًا مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا، فَأَجْلَسُونِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَأَجْلَسُوا أَصْحَابِي خَلْفِي، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَرْجُمَانِهِ، فَقَالَ: قُلْ لَهُمْ: إِنِّي سَائِلٌ هَذَا عَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ، فَإِنْ كَذَبَنِي فَكَذِّبُوهُ، قَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: وَايْمُ اللَّهِ، لَوْلاَ أَنْ يُؤْثِرُوا عَلَيَّ الكَذِبَ لَكَذَبْتُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لِتَرْجُمَانِهِ، سَلْهُ كَيْفَ حَسَبُهُ فِيكُمْ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: هُوَ فِينَا ذُو حَسَبٍ، قَالَ: فَهَلْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لاَ، قَالَ: فَهَلْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِالكَذِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ: لاَ، قَالَ: أَيَتَّبِعُهُ أَشْرَافُ النَّاسِ أَمْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ، قَالَ: يَزِيدُونَ أَوْ يَنْقُصُونَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لاَ بَلْ يَزِيدُونَ، قَالَ: هَلْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِيهِ سَخْطَةً لَهُ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لاَ، قَالَ: فَهَلْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ،

فِي هَذِهِ المُدَّةِ لاَ نَدْرِي مَا هُوَ صَانِعٌ فِيهَا، قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ مَا أَمْكَنَنِي مِنْ كَلِمَةٍ أُدْخِلُ فِيهَا شَيْئًا غَيْرَ هَذِهِ، قَالَ: فَهَلْ قَالَ هَذَا القَوْلَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ؟ قُلْتُ: لاَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِتُرْجُمَانِهِ: قُلْ لَهُ: إِنِّي سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ حَسَبِهِ فِيكُمْ، فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ فِيكُمْ ذُو حَسَبٍ، وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ تُبْعَثُ فِي أَحْسَابِ قَوْمِهَا، وَسَأَلْتُكَ: هَلْ كَانَ فِي آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ، فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لاَ، فَقُلْتُ: لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ، قُلْتُ: رَجُلٌ يَطْلُبُ مُلْكَ آبَائِهِ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ أَتْبَاعِهِ أَضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ أَمْ أَشْرَافُهُمْ، فَقُلْتَ: بَلْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ، وَهُمْ أَتْبَاعُ الرُّسُلِ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ: هَلْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِالكَذِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا قَالَ، فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لاَ، فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَدَعَ الكَذِبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ يَذْهَبَ فَيَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِيهِ سَخْطَةً لَهُ، فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لاَ، وَكَذَلِكَ الإِيمَانُ إِذَا خَالَطَ بَشَاشَةَ القُلُوبِ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ يَزِيدُونَ أَمْ يَنْقُصُونَ، فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُمْ يُزِيدُونَ وَكَذَلِكَ الإِيمَانُ حَتَّى يَتِمَّ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ: هَلْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّكُمْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُ، فَتَكُونُ الحَرْبُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ سِجَالًا يَنَالُ مِنْكُمْ وَتَنَالُونَ مِنْهُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ تُبْتَلَى ثُمَّ تَكُونُ لَهُمُ العَاقِبَةُ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ يَغْدِرُ فَزَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَغْدِرُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الرُّسُلُ لاَ تَغْدِرُ، وَسَأَلْتُكَ: هَلْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ هَذَا القَوْلَ قَبْلَهُ، فَزَعَمْتَ أَنْ لاَ، فَقُلْتُ: لَوْ كَانَ قَالَ هَذَا القَوْلَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ، قُلْتُ: رَجُلٌ ائْتَمَّ بِقَوْلٍ قِيلَ قَبْلَهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: بِمَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَالصِّلَةِ وَالعَفَافِ، قَالَ: إِنْ يَكُ مَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ حَقًّا، فَإِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ، وَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ خَارِجٌ، وَلَمْ أَكُ أَظُنُّهُ مِنْكُمْ، وَلَوْ أَنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَخْلُصُ إِلَيْهِ لَأَحْبَبْتُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ لَغَسَلْتُ عَنْ قَدَمَيْهِ، وَلَيَبْلُغَنَّ مُلْكُهُ مَا تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَعَا بِكِتَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَرَأَهُ: " فَإِذَا فِيهِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ عَظِيمِ الرُّومِ، سَلاَمٌ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الهُدَى، أَمَّا بَعْدُ: فَإِنِّي

الأَصْوَاتُ عِنْدَهُ وَكَثُرَ اللَّغَطُ، وَأُمِرَ بِنَا فَأُخْرِجْنَا، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي حِينَ خَرَجْنَا: لَقَدْ أَمِرَ أَمْرُ ابْنِ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ، إِنَّهُ لَيَخَافُهُ مَلِكُ بَنِي

Narrated Anas bin Mālik رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Out of all the Anṣār, living in Al-Madīna, Abū Ṭalḥa had the largest number of (date-palm trees) gardens, and the most beloved of his property to him was Bairuḥā' garden which was facing the mosque (of the Prophet ﷺ). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to enter it and drink of its good water. When the Verse: "By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness); it means here Allāh's Reward i.e., Paradise), unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love..." (V.3:92) Abū Ṭalḥa got up and said, "O Allāh's Messenger, Allāh says:- 'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love...' (V.3:92) and the most beloved of my property to me is the Bairuhā' garden, so I give it as a charitable gift in Allāh's Cause and hope to receive its reward from Allāh. O Allāh's Messenger! Dispose it of (i.e., utilize it) in the way Allāh orders you (to dispose it of)." Allāh Messenger ﷺ said, "Bravo! That is a fruitful property! That is a fruitful property! I have heard what you have said and I think it would be proper if you distribute that (garden) amongst your relatives." Then Abū Talha distributed that garden amongst his relatives and his cousins. Narrated Yahyā bin Yahyā: I learnt from Mālik, "... a fruitful property." (See H. 1461)

The Prophet ﷺ said to them, "How do you usually punish the one amongst you who has committed illegal sexual intercourse?" They replied, "We blacken their faces with coal and beat them." He said, "Don't you find the order of Ar-Rajm (i.e., stoning to death) in the Taurāt (Torah)?" They replied, "We do not find anything in it." 'Abdullāh bin Salām (after hearing this conversation) said to them, "You have told a lie! Bring here the Taurāt and recite it if you are truthful." (So the Jews brought the Taurāt). And the religious teacher who was teaching it to them, put his hand over the Verse of Ar-Rajm and started reading what was written above and below the place hidden with his hand, but he did not read the Verse of Ar-Rajm. 'Abdullāh bin Salām removed his (i.e., the teacher's) hand from the Verse of Ar-Rajm and said, "What is this?" So when the Jews saw that Verse, they said, "This is the Verse of Ar-Rajm." So, the Prophet ﷺ ordered that both the adulterer and the adulteress be stoned to death, and they were stoned to death near the place where biers used to be placed near the mosque. I saw her companion (i.e., the adulterer) falling over her so as to protect her from the stones.

Sometimes after saying, "Allāh heard those who sent praises to Him, O our Lord! All the praises are for You," he would say, "O Allāh! Save Al-Walīd bin Al-Walīd and Salama bin Hiṣhām, and 'Ayyāsh bin Abū Rabī'a. O Allāh! Inflict Your severe torture on Muḍar (tribe) and strike them with (famine) years like the years of Yūsuf [Joseph]." The Prophet ﷺ used to say in a loud voice, and he also used to say in some of his Fajr (prayers), "O Allāh! Curse so-and-so and so-and-so." naming some of the Arab tribes till Allāh revealed :- "Not for you (O Muḥammad ﷺ) but for Allāh) is the decision..." (V.3:128)

4566. Narrated Usāma bin Zaid رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ rode a donkey, equipped with Qatifa Fadakiya (a thick cloth-covering made in Fadak) and I was riding behind him. He was going to pay a visit to Sa'd bin 'Ubāda in Banū Al-Ĥārith bin Al-Khazraj; and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet ﷺ passed by a gathering in which 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy bin Salūl was present, and that was before 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy embraced Islām. Behold, in that gathering there were mix-up people of different religions: there were Muslims, Mushrikūn, idol-worshippers, and Jews, and in that gathering 'Abdullāh bin Rawāḥa was also present. When a cloud of dust raised by the donkey reached that gathering, 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy covered his nose with his garment and then said, "Do not cover us with dust." Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ greeted them and stopped and dismounted and invited them to Allāh (i.e., to embrace Islām) and recited to them the Noble Qur'ān. On that, 'Abdullāh bin Ubayy bin Salūl said, "O man! There is nothing better than that what you say, if it is the truth, then do not trouble us with it in our gatherings. Return to your mount (or residence) and if somebody comes to you, relate (your tales) to him." On that 'Abdullāh bin Rawāḥa said, "Yes, O Allāh's Messenger! Bring it (i.e., what you [١٨٦] want to say) to us in our gatherings, for we love that.” So, the Muslims, Al-Mushrikūn and the Jews started abusing one another till they were on the point of fighting with one another. The Prophet ﷺ kept on quietening them till they became quiet, whereupon the Prophet ﷺ rode his animal (mount) and proceeded till he entered upon Sa’d bin ‘Ubāda. The Prophet ﷺ said to Sa’d, “Did you not hear what ‘Abū Ḥubāb said?” He meant ‘Abdullāh bin Ubayy. “He said so-and-so.” On that Sa’d bin ‘Ubāda said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Excuse and forgive him, for by Him Who revealed the Book to you, Allāh brought the Truth which was sent to you at the time when the people of this town (i.e., Al-Madina) had decided unanimously to crown him and tie a turban on his head (electing him as chief). But when Allāh opposed that (decision) through the Truth which Allāh gave to you, he (i.e., ‘Abdullāh bin Ubayy) was grieved with jealousy, and that caused him to do what you have seen.” So, Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ excused him, for the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions used to forgive Al-Mushrikūn and the people of Scripture as Allāh had ordered them, and they used to put up with their mischief with patience. Allāh تعالى said : “...And you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you (Jews and Christians) and from those who ascribe partners to Allāh...” (V.3 :186) And Allāh also said : “Many of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, out of envy from their own selves...” (V.2 :109) So, the Prophet ﷺ used to stick to the principle of forgiveness for them as long as Allāh ordered him to do so till Allāh permitted fighting them. So, when Allāh's Messenger ﷺ fought the battle of Badr, and Allāh killed the nobles of Quraish infidels through him, Ibn Ubayy bin Salūl and Al-Mushrikūn and idolaters who were with him, said, "This matter (i.e., Islām) has appeared (i.e., became victorious)." So they gave the Bai'a (pledge) (for embracing Islām) to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and became Muslims.

Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: During the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, some men among the hypocrites used to remain behind him (i.e., did not accompany him) when he went out for a Ghazwa and they would be pleased to stay at home behind Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ returned (from the battle) they would put forward (false) excuses and take oaths, wishing to be praised for what they had not done. So there was revealed: "Think not that those who rejoice in what they have done (or brought about) and love to be praised for what they have not done..." (V.3:188)

4568. Narrated 'Alqama bin Waqqāṣ: Marwān said to his gatekeeper, "Go to Ibn 'Abbās, O Rafi", and say, 'If everybody who rejoices in what he has done (or brought about) and likes to be praised for what he has not done, will be punished, then all of us will be punished.'” Ibn ‘Abbās said, “What connection have you with this case?(1) It was only that the Prophet ﷺ called the Jews and asked them about something, and they hid the truth and told him something else, and showed him that they deserved praise for the favour of telling him the answer to his question, and they became happy with what they had concealed. Then Ibn ‘Abbās recited :- “(And remember) when Allāh took a Covenant from those who were given the Scripture ... (till) ... those who rejoice in what they have done (or brought about) and love to be praised for what they have not done.” (V.3:187,188) Narrated Humaid bin ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin ‘Auf that Marwān had told him (the above narration).

4569. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimūna (the wife of the Prophet ﷺ). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ talked with his wife for a while and then went to bed. When it was the last third of the night, he got up and looked towards the sky and said: "Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding." (V.3:190) Then he stood up, performed ablution, brushed his teeth with a Siwāk, and then offered eleven Rak'a prayer. Then Bilāl pronounced the Adhān (i.e., call for the Fajr prayer). The Prophet ﷺ then offered two Rak'a (Sunna) Salāt (prayer) and went out (to the mosque) and offered the (compulsory congregational) Fajr prayer.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما (One night) I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimūna (the wife of the Prophet ﷺ), and said to myself, "I will watch the Salāt (prayer) of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." My aunt placed a cushion for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and he slept on it in its lengthwise direction (woke up) rubbing the traces of sleep off his face, and then he recited the last ten Verses of Sūrat Al-Imrān till he finished it. Then he went to a hanging water-skin and took it, performed the ablution and then stood up to offer the Salāt (prayer). I got up and did the same as he had done, and stood beside him (by his left side). He put his hand on my head and held me by the ear and twisted it (pulled me, and made me stand by his right side). He offered two Rak'a, then two Rak'a, then two Rak'a, then two Rak'a, then two Rak'a, then two Rak'a and finally the Witr (i.e., one Rak'a) Ṣalāt (prayer).

4573. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: There was an orphan (girl) under the care of a man. He married her and she owned a date-palm (garden). He married her just because of that (garden) and not because he loved her. So the Divine Verse came regarding his case: "And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls..." (V.4:3) [The subnarrator added: I think he (i.e., another subnarrator) said, "That orphan girl was his partner in that date-palm (garden) and in his property."]

4574. Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair that he asked 'Āishah رضي الله عنها regarding the Statement of Allāh تعالى: "And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls..." (V.4:3) She said, "O son of my sister! An orphan girl used to be under the care of a guardian with whom she shared property. Her guardian, being attracted by her wealth and beauty, would intend to marry her without giving her a just Mahr (bridal-money), i.e., the same Mahr as any other person might give her (in case he married her). So, such guardians were forbidden to do that unless they did justice to their female wards and gave them the highest Mahr their peers might get. They were ordered (by Allāh) to marry women of their choice other than those orphan girls." 'Āishah added, "The people asked Allāh's Messenger's, instructions after the revelation of this Divine Verse; whereupon Allāh revealed: 'They ask your legal instruction concerning women'." (V.4:127) Āishah further said, "And the Statement of Allāh تعالى: '...And yet whom you desire to marry...' (V.4:127) as anyone of you refrains from marrying an orphan girl (under his guardianship) when she is lacking in property and beauty." 'Āishah added, "So, they were forbidden to marry those orphan girls for whose wealth and beauty they had a desire unless with justice, and that was because they would refrain from marrying them if they were lacking in property and beauty."

4578. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: (In the pre-Islāmic period) the children used to inherit all the property but the parents used to inherit only through a will. So, Allāh cancelled that which He liked to cancel and decreed that the share of a son was to be twice the share of a daughter, and for the parents one-sixth for each one of them(1) or one-third(2) for each one, and for the wife one-eighth(1) or one-fourth(2), and for the husband one half(1), or one-fourth(1).

English translation

4579. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهم regarding the Divine Verse :- "O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will, and you should not treat them with harshness that you may take back part of the Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) you have given them..." (V.4:19) (Before this revelation) if a man died, his relatives used to have the right to inherit his wife, and one of them could marry her if he would, or they would give her in marriage if they wished, or, if they wished, they would not give her in marriage at all, and they would be more entitled to dispose her than her own relatives.

4579 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ: وَذَكَرَهُ أَبُو الحَسَنِ السُّوَائِيُّ وَلاَ أَظُنُّهُ ذَكَرَهُ، إِلَّا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَرِثُوا النِّسَاءَ كَرْهًا، وَلاَ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُوا بِبَعْضِ مَا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ} [النساء: 19] قَالَ: «كَانُوا إِذَا مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ كَانَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ أَحَقَّ بِامْرَأَتِهِ، إِنْ شَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ تَزَوَّجَهَا وَإِنْ شَاءُوا زَوَّجُوهَا، وَإِنْ شَاءُوا لَمْ يُزَوِّجُوهَا فَهُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ»

4580. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهم regarding the Verse: "To everyone, We have appointed heirs..." (V.4:33) 'Mawāli' means heirs. And regarding: "...To those also with whom you have made a pledge (brotherhood)...” (he said): When the emigrants came to Al-Madina, an emigrant used to be the heir of an Anṣārī with the exclusion of the latter’s relatives, and that was because of the bond of brotherhood which the Prophet ﷺ had established between them (i.e., the emigrants and the Anṣār). So, when the Verse: ‘To everyone, We have appointed heirs’ was revealed, (the inheritance through bond of brotherhood) was cancelled. Ibn ‘Abbās then said: “To those also with whom you have made a pledge (brotherhood)...” is concerned with the covenant of helping and advising each other. So, allies are no longer to be the heir of each other, but they can bequeath each other some of their property by means of a will (Waṣiya).

4581. Narrated Abū Sa‘īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: During the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ, some people said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Yes, do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at midday when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?” They replied, “No.” He said, “Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?” They replied, “No.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “(Similarly) you will have no difficulty in seeing Allāh عز وجل on the Day of Resurrection as you have no difficulty in seeing either of them. On the Day of Resurrection, a call-maker will announce, ‘Let every nation follow that which they used to worship.’ Then none of those who used to worship anything other than Allāh, like idols and other deities, but will fall in Hell (Fire), till there will remain none but those who used to worship Allāh, both those who were righteous pious ones, and the mischievous evil ones and some of the people of the Scripture. Then the Jews will be called upon and it will be said to them, 'What did you use to worship?' They will reply, 'We used to worship 'Uzair (Ezra), the son of Allāh.' It will be said to them, 'You are liars, for Allāh has never taken anyone as a wife or a son. What do you want now?' They will say, 'O our Lord! We are thirsty, so give us something to drink.' They will be directed and addressed thus, 'Will you drink,' whereupon they will be gathered unto Hell (Fire) which will look like a mirage, whose different sides will be destroying each other. Then they will fall into the Fire. Afterwards, the Christians will be called upon and it will be said to them, 'What did you use to worship?' They will reply, 'We used to worship 'Isā (Jesus), the son of Allāh.' It will be said to them, 'You are liars, for Allāh has never taken anyone as a wife or a son.' Then it will be said to them, 'What do you want?' They will say what the former people have said. Then, when there remain (in the gathering) none but those who used to worship Allāh [Alone, the real Lord of 'Ālamīn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)], whether they were righteous pious ones or mischievous evil ones. Then (Allāh) the Lord of 'Ālamīn, will come to them in a shape nearest to the picture they had in their minds about Him. It will be said, 'What are you waiting for?' Every nation has followed what it used to worship. They will reply, 'We left the people in the world when we were in great need of them and we did not take them as friends. Now we are waiting for our Lord Whom we used to worship.' Allāh will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say twice or thrice, 'We do not worship anything besides Allāh.'" [See also Vol. 9, Hadīth No.7439]

Irrigate (your land) and then let the water flow to your neighbour." The Anṣārī said, "O Allāh's Messenger! (Is this because) he (Zubair) is your cousin?" At that, the Prophet's face became red (with anger) and he said, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) and then withhold the water till it fills the land up to the walls, and then let it flow to your neighbour." So, the Prophet ﷺ enabled Az-Zubair to take his full right after the Anṣārī provoked his anger. The Prophet ﷺ had previously given an order that was in favour of both of them. Az-Zubair said, "I don't think but this Verse was revealed in this connection: 'But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (Muhammad ﷺ) judge in all disputes between them.'"

So the people went to Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq and said, "Don't you see what 'Aīshah has done? She has made Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and the people stay 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. He said (to me), "You have detained Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and the people where there is no water, and they have no water with them." So he admonished me and said what Allāh wished him to say, and he hit me on my flank with his hand. Nothing prevented me from moving (because of pain) but the position of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on my thigh. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ got up when dawn broke and there was no water. So Allāh revealed the Verse of Tayammum. Usaid bin Ḥuḏair said, "It is not the first blessing of yours, O the family of Abū Bakr."

4608. Narrated 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها: A necklace of mine was lost at Al-Baidā' while we were on our way to Al-Madīna. The Prophet ﷺ made his camel kneel down and dismounted and laid his head on my lap and slept. Abū Bakr came to me and hit me violently on the chest and said, "You detained the people because of a necklace." I kept as motionless as a dead person because of the position of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, (on my lap) although Abū Bakr had hurt me (with the slap). Then the Prophet ﷺ woke up and it was the time for the morning (prayer). Water was sought, but in vain; so the following Verse was revealed : "O you who believe! When you intend to offer Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer)..." (V.5:6) Usaid bin Ḥuṣair said, "Allāh has blessed the people for your sake, O the family of Abū Bakr. You are but a blessing for them."

Narrated Abū Qilāba that he was sitting behind 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz and the people repeatedly mentioned (about Al-Qasāma) and they said (various things), and said that the caliphs had permitted it. 'Umar bin 'Abdul-'Aziz turned towards Abū Qilāba who was behind him and said. "What do you say, O 'Abdullāh bin Zaid?" or said, "What do you say, O Abū Qilāba?" Abū Qilāba said, "I do not know that killing a person is lawful in Islām except in three cases: A married person committing illegal sexual intercourse, one who has murdered somebody unlawfully, or one who wages war against Allāh and His Messenger." 'Anbasa said, "Anas narrated to us such and such." Abū Qilāba said, "Anas narrated to me in this respect, saying: Some people came to the Prophet ﷺ and they spoke to him saying, 'The climate of this land does not suit us.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'These are camels belonging to us, and they are to be taken out to the pasture. So, take them out and drink of their milk and urine.'(1) They took them and set out and drank of their urine and milk, and having recovered, they attacked the shepherd, killed him and drove away the camels. Why should there be any delay in punishing them as they murdered (a person) and waged war against Allāh and His Messenger and frightened Allāh's Messenger ﷺ? 'Anbasa said, "Glory be to Allāh!" Abū Qilāba said, "Do you suspect me?" 'Anbasa said, "No, Anas narrated that (Hadīth) to us." Then 'Anbasa added, "O the people of such and such (country), you will remain in good state as long as Allāh keeps this (man) and the like of this (man) amongst you."

رَضِيَ اللَّهُ - 4611. Narrated Anas (bin Mālik) رضي الله عنه : Ar-Ruba'ī (the paternal aunt of Anas bin Mālik) broke the incisor tooth of a young Anṣārī girl. Her family demanded Al-Qišās and they came to the Prophet ﷺ who passed the judgement of Al-Qišās. Anas bin An-Naḍr (the paternal uncle of Anas bin Mālik) said, "O Allāh's Messenger! By Allāh, her tooth will not be broken." The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Anas! (The law prescribed in) Allāh's Book is Al-Qišās". So, (later on) the people (i.e., the relatives of the girl) gave up their claim and accepted blood-money. On that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Some of Allāh's worshippers are such that if they take an oath, Allāh will fulfil it for them."
