7139. Narrated Muḥammad bin Jubair bin Muṭ'im that while he was included in a delegation of the Quraish staying with Mu'āwiya, Mu'āwiya heard that 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr had said that there would be a king from the Qaḥṭān tribe, whereupon he became very angry. He stood up, and after glorifying and praising Allāh as He deserved, said, "Amma Ba'du (to proceed), I have come to know that some of you men are narrating things which are neither in Allāh's Book (the Qur'ān), nor have been mentioned by Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Such people are the ignorant among you. Beware of such vain desires that mislead those who have them. I have heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, 'This matter (of the caliphate) will remain with the Quraish, and none will rebel against them but Allāh will throw him down on his face as long as they stick to the rules and regulations of the religion (Islām).'"

(During the campaign) he became angry with them and said, “Didn’t the Prophet ﷺ order you to obey me?” They said, “Yes.” He said, “I order you to collect wood and make a fire and then throw yourselves into it.” So they collected wood and made a fire, but when they were about to throw themselves into it they started looking at each other, and some of them said, “We followed the Prophet ﷺ to escape from the (Hell) Fire. (How) should we enter it now?” So while they were in that state, the fire extinguished and their commander’s anger abated. The event was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, “If they had entered it (the fire) they would never have come out of it, for obedience is required only in what is Al-Ma’rūf (Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islām has ordained and all that is good).” [See Vol. 5, Hadīth No. 4340]

I stood up to seek a witness to testify that I had killed an infidel but I could not find any witness and then sat down. Then I thought that I should mention the case to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (and when I did so) a man from those who were sitting with him said, "The arms of the killed person he has mentioned, are with me, so please satisfy him on my behalf." Abū Bakr said, "No, he will not give the arms to a 'bird' of Quraish and deprive one of Allāh's lions of it who fights for the Cause of Allāh and His Messenger." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood up and gave it to me, and I bought a garden with its price, and that was my first property which I owned through the war booty. The people of Hijāz said, "A judge should not pass a judgement according to his knowledge, whether he was a witness at the time he was the judge or before that." And if a litigant gives a confession in favour of his opponent in the court, in the opinion of some scholars, the judge should not pass a judgement against him till the latter calls two witnesses to witness his confession. And some people of Irāq said, "A judge can pass a judgement according to what he hears or witnesses (the litigant's confession) in the court itself, but if the confession takes place outside the court, he should not pass the judgement unless two witnesses witness the confession." Some of them said, "A judge can pass a judgement depending on his own knowledge of the case as he is trustworthy, and that a witness is required just to reveal the truth. The judge's knowledge is more than the witness." Some said, "A judge can judge according to his knowledge only in cases involving property, but in other cases he cannot." Al-Qāsim said, "A judge ought not to pass a judgement depending on his own knowledge if other people are ignorant of what he knows, although his knowledge is more than the witness of somebody else as he might expose himself to suspicion by the Muslims and cause the Muslims to have unreasonable doubt."

When he returned (with the money) he said (to the Prophet ﷺ), "This is for you and this has been given to me as a gift." The Prophet ﷺ stood up on the pulpit (Šufyān said he ascended the pulpit), and after glorifying and praising Allāh, he said, "What is wrong with the employee whom we send (to collect Zakāt from the public) that he returns to say, 'This is for you and that is for me?' Why didn't he stay at his father's and mother's house to see whether he will be given gifts or not? By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, whoever takes anything illegally will bring it on the Day of Resurrection by carrying it over his neck; if it is a camel, it will be grunting; if it is a cow, it will be mooing; and if it is a sheep it will be bleating!" The Prophet ﷺ then raised both his hands till we saw the whiteness of his armpits (and he said), "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allāh's Message?" And he repeated it three times.

7190. Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sā'idī: There was some quarrel (fighting) among Banī 'Amr, and when this news reached the Prophet ﷺ, he offered the Zuhr prayer and went to establish peace among them. In the meantime the time of Asr prayer was due, Bilāl pronounced the Ādhān and then the Iqāma for the Ṣalāt (prayer) and requested Abū Bakr (to lead the Ṣalāt) and Abū Bakr went forward. The Prophet ﷺ arrived while Abū Bakr was still in Ṣalāt (prayer). He entered the rows of people offering prayer till he stood behind Abū Bakr in the (first) row. The people started clapping, and it was the habit of Abū Bakr that whenever he stood for Ṣalāt (prayer), he never glanced sideways till he had finished the Ṣalāt (prayer), but when Abū Bakr observed that the clapping was not coming to an end, he looked and saw the Prophet ﷺ standing behind him. The Prophet ﷺ beckoned him to carry on by waving his hand. Abū Bakr stood there for a while, thanking Allāh for the saying of the Prophet ﷺ and then he retreated, taking his steps backwards. When the Prophet ﷺ saw that, he went ahead and led the people in Salât (prayer). When he finished the Salât (prayer), he said, "O Abū Bakr! What prevented you from carrying on with the Salât (prayer) after I beckoned you to do so?" Abū Bakr replied, "It does not befit the son of Abu Quḥāfa to lead the Prophet ﷺ in Salât (prayer)". Then the Prophet ﷺ said to the people, "If some problem arises during Salât (prayer), then the men should say, Subḥān Allāh!; and the women should clap." [See Vol.1, Hadīth No. 684]

7191. Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: Abū Bakr sent for me, owing to the large number of casualties in the battle of Al-Yamāma, while 'Umar was sitting with him. Abū Bakr said (to me), 'Umar has come to me and said, "A great number of Qurra' (those who know the Qur'an by heart) of the Qur'an were killed on the day (of the battle) of Al-Yamāma, and I am afraid that the casualties among the Qurra' of the Qur'an may increase on other battlefields whereby a large part of the Qur'an may be lost. Therefore, I consider it advisable that you (Abū Bakr) should have the Qur'an collected." I said, "How dare I do something which Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not do?" 'Umar said, "By Allāh, it is something beneficial." 'Umar kept on pressing me for that till Allāh opened my chest for that for which He had opened the chest of 'Umar and I had in that matter the same opinion as 'Umar had. Abū Bakr then said to me (Zaid), "You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicion about you, and you used to write the Divine Revelation for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. So you should search for the fragmentary scripts of the Qur'ān and collect it (in one Book).” Zaid further said: By Allāh, if Abū Bakr had ordered me to shift a mountain among the mountains from one place to another it would not have been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur'ān. Then I said (to 'Umar and Abū Bakr), “How can you do something which Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not do?” Abū Bakr said, “By Allāh, it is something beneficial.” Zaid added: So he (Abū Bakr) kept on pressing me for that, until Allāh opened my chest for that for which He had opened the chests of Abū Bakr and 'Umar, and I had in that matter the same opinion as theirs. So I started compiling the Qur'ān by collecting it from the leafless stalks of the date-palm tree and from the pieces of leather and hides and from the stones, and from the chests of men (who had memorized the Qur'ān). I found the last Verses of Sūrat At-Tauba: “Verily there has come unto you a Messenger (Muḥammad ﷺ) from amongst yourselves...” (V.9:128,129)) from Khuzaima or Abu Khuzaima and I added it to the rest of the Sūrah. The manuscripts of the Qur'ān remained with Abū Bakr till Allāh took him unto Him. Then it remained with 'Umar till Allāh took him unto Him, and then with Ḥafsa bint 'Umar.

Then Muḥaiyiṣa was informed that 'Abdullāh had been killed and thrown in a pit or a spring. Muḥaiyiṣa went to the Jews and said, "By Allāh, you have killed my companion." The Jews said, "By Allāh, we have not killed him." Muḥaiyiṣa then came back to his people and told them the story. He, his elder brother Huwaiyiṣa and 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Sahl came (to the Prophet) and he who had been at Khaibar, proceeded and started to speak, but the Prophet ﷺ said to Muḥaiyiṣa, "The eldest! The eldest!" meaning, "Let the eldest of you speak." So Huwaiyiṣa spoke first and then Muḥaiyiṣa. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "The Jews should either pay the blood-money of your (deceased) companion or be ready for war." After that, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ wrote a letter to the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that they had not killed him. Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to Huwaiyiṣa, Muḥaiyiṣa and 'Abdur-Raḥmān, "Can you take an oath by which you will be entitled to take the blood-money?" They said, "No." He said (to them), "Shall we ask the Jews to take an oath before you?" They replied, "But the Jews are not Muslims." So Allāh's Messenger ﷺ gave them one hundred she-camels as blood-money from himself. Sahl added: When those she-camels were made to enter the house, one of them kicked me with its leg.

Why doesn't he stay at the house of his father or the house of his mother and see whether he will be given gifts or not, if he was telling the truth? By Allāh, none of you takes anything of it (i.e., Zakāt) for himself (Hishām added: unlawfully) but he will meet Allāh on the Day of Resurrection carrying it over his neck! I do not want to see any of you carrying a grunting camel or a mooing cow, or a bleating sheep on meeting Allāh."

7207. Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: The group of people whom 'Umar had selected as candidates for the caliphate gathered and consulted each other. 'Abdur-Raḥmān said to them, "I am not going to compete with you in this matter, but if you wish, I would select for you a caliph from among you." So all of them agreed to let 'Abdur-Raḥmān decide who will be the new caliph. So when the candidates placed the case in the hands of 'Abdur-Raḥmān, the people went towards him and nobody followed the rest of the group nor obeyed any after him. So the people followed 'Abdur-Raḥmān and consulted him all those nights till there came the night we gave the Bai'a (pledge) to 'Uthmān. Al-Miswar (bin Makhrama) added: 'Abdur-Raḥmān called on me after a portion of the night had passed and knocked on my door till I got up, and he said to me, "I see you have been sleeping! By Allāh, during the last three nights I have not slept enough. Go and call Az-Zubair and Sa'd." So I called them for him and he consulted them and then called me saying, "Call 'Ali for me." I called 'Ali and he held a private talk with him till very late at night, and then 'Ali got up to leave having had much hope (to be chosen as a caliph) but 'Abdur-Raḥmān was afraid of something concerning 'Ali. 'Abdur-Raḥmān then said to me, "Call 'Uthmān for me." I called him and he kept on speaking to him privately till the Mu'adh-dhīn put an end to their talk by calling the Ādhān for the Fajr prayer. When the people finished their morning Ṣalāt (prayer) and that (six men) group gathered near the pulpit, 'Abdur-Raḥmān sent for all the Muhājirūn (emigrants) and the Anṣār present there, and sent for the army chief who had performed the Hajj with 'Umar that year. When all of them had gathered, 'Abdur-Raḥmān said, "Lā ilaha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh), then said, "Amma Ba'du, O 'Alī, I have looked at the people's tendencies and noticed that they do not consider anybody equal to 'Uthmān, so you should not incur blame (by disagreeing)." Then 'Abdur-Rahmān said (to 'Uthmān), "I gave the Bai'a (pledge) to you on condition that you will follow Allāh's Laws and the Sunna of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and the legal ways of the two caliphs after him." So 'Abdur-Rahmān gave the Bai'a to him, and so did the people including the Muhājirūn (emigrants) and the Ansār and the chiefs of the army staff and all the Muslims.

7219. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه that he heard 'Umar's second speech he delivered when he sat on the pulpit on the day following the death of the Prophet ﷺ. 'Umar recited the Tashah-hud(2) while Abū Bakr was silent. 'Umar said, "I wish that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had outlived all of us, i.e., had been the last (to die). But if Muḥammad ﷺ is dead, Allāh تعالى nevertheless has kept the light amongst you from which you can receive the same guidance as Allāh تعالى guided Muḥammad ﷺ with that. And Abū Bakr is the Companion of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. He is the second of the two in the cave. He is the most entitled person among the Muslims to manage your affairs. Therefore get up and give the Bai'a (pledge) to him." Some people had already given the Bai'a (pledge) to him in the shed of Banī Sā'ida but the Bai'a given by the public was at the pulpit. I heard 'Umar saying to Abū Bakr on that day, "Please ascend the pulpit," and kept on urging him till he ascended the pulpit whereupon, all the people gave the Bai'a to him.
