Abū 'Ubaidah brought wealth from Bāhṛain, and the Anṣār heard that Abū 'Ubaidah had arrived.

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ smiled when he saw them, then he said: "I think you have heard that Abū 'Ubaidah has brought something from Bāhṛain." They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allāh." He said: "Be of good cheer, and be hopeful of that which will make you happy. By Allāh, it is not poverty that I fear for you, rather what I fear for you is that worldly riches may be given to you as they were given to those who came before you, and you will compete for them with one another as they competed with one another, and you will be destroyed as they were destroyed."

Allāh wanted to test them so He sent an angel to them. He came to the leper and said: 'What thing is dearest to you?' He said: 'A beautiful color and beautiful skin, and to be rid of that which makes me detestable in people's eyes.' He touched him, and that which repelled people was cured, and he was given a beautiful color and beautiful skin. Then he said: 'What kind of wealth is dearest to you?' He said: 'Camels' - or 'cows.'" - Ishâq (a sub narrator) was not sure, but either the leper or the bald man said camels, and the other said cows - "He was given a bulging pregnant she-camel, and he said: 'May Allâh bless it for you.' Then he went to the bald man and said: 'What thing is dearest to you?' He said: 'Beautiful hair, and to be rid of that which makes me detestable in people's eyes.' He touched him and it was cured, and he was given beautiful hair. He said: 'What kind of wealth is dearest to you?' He said: 'Cattle.' So he was given a pregnant cow. He said: 'May Allâh bless it for you.' Then he came to the blind man and said: 'What thing is dearest to you?' He said: 'For Allâh to restore my sight so that I may see the people.' He touched him, and Allâh restored his sight. He said: 'What kind of wealth is dearest to you?' He said: 'Sheep.' So he was given a pregnant sheep. (Time passed and) the animals produced plenty of offspring, and one had a valley full of camels,one had a valley full of cattle andone had a valley full of sheep. "Then he (the angel) came to the leper in his previous form and said: 'I am a poor man and I have lost my provisions and lost my way, and there is no one to help me reach my destination today except Allâh, and then you. I am asking you, by the One Who gave you this beautiful color, beautiful skin, and wealth – for a camel to carry me on my journey.' He said: 'I have many duties.' He said: 'It is as if I know you. Were you not the leper whom people regarded as detestable, a poor man to whom Allâh gave wealth?' He said: 'No; I inherited this wealth from my great forefathers.' He said: 'If you are lying, then may Allâh put you back as you were.' "Then he came to the bald man in his previous form, and said to him what he had said to the leper, and he replied as the leper had replied. He said: 'If you are lying, then may Allâh put you back as you were.' "Then he came to the blind man in his previous form, and said: 'I am a poor man, and a wayfarer. I have lost my provisions and lost my way, and there is no one to help me reach my destination today except Allâh, and then you. I am asking you, by the One Who restored to you your sight, for a sheep that will help me on my journey.' He said: 'I was blind, then Allāh restored to me my sight. Take whatever you want, and leave whatever you want, for by Allāh, I will not expect you to pay back anything that you take in the Name of Allāh.'

Then he dismounted, and said to him: 'You are busy with your camels and sheep, and you have left the people contending with one another for kingship?'"

And now Banû Asad are teaching me about my religion, in which case I must have been doomed and misguided. “

[7435] 14 - (2967) It was narrated that Khâlid bin 'Umayr Al-'Adawî said: “Utbah bin Ghazwân addressed us. He praised and glorified Allâh, then he said: 'Soon this world will come to an end, and there is nothing left of it but a little, like leftover water in a vessel. You will move from it to a realm that has no end, so you should move with the best that you have. We were told that if a stone is thrown from the edge of Hell, it will fly through it for seventy years without reaching the bottom of it, but by Allâh, it will be filled. Do you find it strange? And we were told that between two of the gateposts of Paradise is a distance of forty years, and there will come a time when that gate will be crowded with people. I remember when I was the seventh of seven with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. And we had no food but the leaves of trees, and the corners of our mouths were covered with ulcers. I found a Burdah and tore it in two between myself and Sa'd bin Mâlik. I wrapped half of it around my waist, and Sa'd wrapped the other half around his waist. And today there is no one among us who has not become the governor of a city. I seek refuge with Allâh lest I consider myself to be great but insignificant before Allâh. Prophethood does not remain forever; rather its impact fades, and eventually changes into kingship. You will soon come to know and experience those rulers who come after us."

[7511] 73 - (3005) It was narrated from Şuhaib that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There was a king among those who came before you, and he had a magician. When he (the magician) grew old, he said to the king: 'I have grown old; send me a boy to whom I can teach magic.' He sent him a boy to teach, and when he (the boy) was on his way to the magician he met a monk, and he sat down and listened to what he said, and he liked it. Whenever he would go to the magician he passed by the monk, and he would sit with him, then when he came to the magician, he would beat him (for the delay). He complained about that to the monk, who said: 'If you are afraid of the magician, say: "My family kept me," and if you are afraid of your family, say: "The magician kept me."' "While this went on, he came to a huge beast that was blocking the way of the people, and he said: 'Today I will find out if the magician is better or if the monk is better.' He picked up a stone and said: 'O Allâh, if the monk's affair is dearer to You than that of the magician, then kill this beast, so that the people may move freely.' He threw it and killed it, and the people were able to move freely. He came to the monk and told him, and the monk said to him: 'O my son, today you are better than me, and you have reached a stage where I think you will be tested. If you are tested, then do not tell anyone about me.' "The boy started to heal the blind and lepers, and to cure the people of all kinds of sickness. A companion of the king who had gone blind heard of that, and he brought him many gifts and said: 'All of this is for you, if you will heal me.' He said: 'I do not heal anyone; rather it is Allâh Who heals.' If you believe in Allâh, I will pray to Allâh to heal you.' So he believed in Allâh, and Allâh healed him. He came to the king and sat with him as he used to do, and the king said to him: 'Who gave you back your sight?' He said: 'My Lord.' He said: 'Do you have a lord other than me?' He said: 'My Lord and your Lord is Allâh.' The king detained him and kept torturing him until he told him about the boy. "The boy was brought and the king said to him: 'O my son, you have become so proficient in magic that you heal the blind and lepers, and you do such and such.' He said: 'I do not heal anyone; rather it is Allâh Who heals. The king detained him, and kept torturing him until he told him about the monk.' The monk was brought and it was said to him: 'Recant your faith,' but he refused. The king called for a saw and placed the saw in the middle of his head, and cut him in two. Then the companion of the king was brought and it was said to him: 'Recant your faith,' but he refused. The saw was placed in the middle of his head, and he was cut in two. Then the boy was brought and it was said to him: 'Recant your faith,' but he refused. "The king handed him over to a group of his companions and said: 'Take him to such and such a mountain. Then take him up the mountain, and when you reach the top, if he recants his faith (let him go), otherwise throw him down.' They took him there, and took him up the mountain, and he said: 'O Allāh, save me from them however You will.' The mountain shook and they fell down, and the boy came walking back to the king. The king said to him: 'What happened to your companions?' He said: 'Allāh saved me from them.' He handed him over to another group of his companions and said: 'Take him out in a boat to the middle of the sea. Then if he recants his faith (let him go), otherwise throw him overboard.' They took him, and the boy said: 'O Allāh, save me from them however You will.' The boat capsized and they drowned, and the boy came walking back to the king. The king said to him: 'What happened to your companions?' He said: 'Allâh saved me from them.' He said to the king: 'You will not be able to kill me unless you do what I tell you to.' He said: 'What is it?' He said: 'Gather the people in one plain, and crucify me on the trunk of a tree, then take an arrow from my quiver and place the arrow in the bow, and say: "In the Name of Allâh, the Lord of the boy," then shoot me. If you do that, you will kill me.' "So he gathered the people in one plain and crucified him on the trunk of a tree. Then he took an arrow from his quiver, placed it in the bow and said: 'In the Name of Allâh, the Lord of the boy,' and he shot him. The arrow struck his temple and he put his hand to his temple, where the arrow had landed, and died. The people said: 'We believe in the Lord of the boy, we believe in the Lord of the boy, we believe in the Lord of the boy.' People went to the king and said to him: 'Have you seen what you wanted to avert? By Allâh, that which you feared has happened to you: the people have believed (in Allâh).' He ordered that ditches be dug at the beginning of each road, and fires be lit, and he said: 'Whoever does not recant his faith, throw him into it,' or it was said, 'make him jump into it.' "They did that until there came a woman with her infant son.

73 - (3005) حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " كَانَ مَلِكٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، وَكَانَ لَهُ سَاحِرٌ، فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ، قَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: إِنِّي قَدْ كَبِرْتُ، فَابْعَثْ إِلَيَّ غُلَامًا أُعَلِّمْهُ السِّحْرَ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ غُلَامًا يُعَلِّمُهُ، فَكَانَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ، إِذَا سَلَكَ رَاهِبٌ فَقَعَدَ إِلَيْهِ وَسَمِعَ كَلَامَهُ، فَأَعْجَبَهُ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَتَى السَّاحِرَ مَرَّ بِالرَّاهِبِ وَقَعَدَ إِلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا أَتَى السَّاحِرَ ضَرَبَهُ، فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى الرَّاهِبِ، فَقَالَ: إِذَا خَشِيتَ السَّاحِرَ، فَقُلْ: حَبَسَنِي أَهْلِي، وَإِذَا خَشِيتَ أَهْلَكَ فَقُلْ: حَبَسَنِي السَّاحِرُ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَى عَلَى دَابَّةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ قَدْ حَبَسَتِ النَّاسَ، فَقَالَ: الْيَوْمَ أَعْلَمُ آلسَّاحِرُ أَفْضَلُ أَمِ الرَّاهِبُ أَفْضَلُ؟ فَأَخَذَ حَجَرًا، فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ أَمْرُ الرَّاهِبِ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ أَمْرِ السَّاحِرِ فَاقْتُلْ هَذِهِ الدَّابَّةَ، حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ النَّاسُ، فَرَمَاهَا فَقَتَلَهَا، وَمَضَى النَّاسُ، فَأَتَى الرَّاهِبَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّاهِبُ: أَيْ بُنَيَّ أَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ أَفْضَلُ مِنِّي، قَدْ بَلَغَ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ مَا أَرَى، وَإِنَّكَ سَتُبْتَلَى، فَإِنِ ابْتُلِيتَ فَلَا تَدُلَّ عَلَيَّ، وَكَانَ الْغُلَامُ يُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ، وَيُدَاوِي النَّاسَ مِنْ سَائِرِ الْأَدْوَاءِ، فَسَمِعَ جَلِيسٌ لِلْمَلِكِ كَانَ قَدْ عَمِيَ، فَأَتَاهُ بِهَدَايَا كَثِيرَةٍ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَاهُنَا لَكَ أَجْمَعُ، إِنْ أَنْتَ شَفَيْتَنِي، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَا أَشْفِي أَحَدًا إِنَّمَا يَشْفِي اللهُ، فَإِنْ أَنْتَ آمَنْتَ بِاللهِ دَعَوْتُ اللهَ فَشَفَاكَ، فَآمَنَ بِاللهِ فَشَفَاهُ اللهُ، فَأَتَى الْمَلِكَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا كَانَ يَجْلِسُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ: مَنْ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ بَصَرَكَ؟ قَالَ: رَبِّي، قَالَ: وَلَكَ رَبٌّ غَيْرِي؟ قَالَ: رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللهُ، فَأَخَذَهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُعَذِّبُهُ حَتَّى دَلَّ عَلَى الْغُلَامِ، فَجِيءَ بِالْغُلَامِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ: أَيْ بُنَيَّ قَدْ بَلَغَ مِنْ سِحْرِكَ مَا تُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ، وَتَفْعَلُ وَتَفْعَلُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَا أَشْفِي أَحَدًا، إِنَّمَا يَشْفِي اللهُ، فَأَخَذَهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُعَذِّبُهُ حَتَّى دَلَّ عَلَى الرَّاهِبِ، فَجِيءَ بِالرَّاهِبِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ، فَأَبَى، فَدَعَا بِالْمِئْشَارِ، فَوَضَعَ الْمِئْشَارَ فِي مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ، فَشَقَّهُ حَتَّى وَقَعَ شِقَّاهُ، ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِجَلِيسِ الْمَلِكِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ: ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ، فَأَبَى فَوَضَعَ الْمِئْشَارَ فِي مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ، فَشَقَّهُ بِهِ حَتَّى وَقَعَ شِقَّاهُ، ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِالْغُلَامِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ ارْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِكَ، فَأَبَى فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى جَبَلِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَاصْعَدُوا بِهِ الْجَبَلَ، فَإِذَا بَلَغْتُمْ ذُرْوَتَهُ، فَإِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ، وَإِلَّا فَاطْرَحُوهُ، فَذَهَبُوا بِهِ فَصَعِدُوا بِهِ الْجَبَلَ، فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ، فَرَجَفَ بِهِمِ الْجَبَلُ فَسَقَطُوا، وَجَاءَ يَمْشِي إِلَى الْمَلِكِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ: مَا فَعَلَ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ قَالَ: كَفَانِيهِمُ اللهُ، فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَاحْمِلُوهُ فِي قُرْقُورٍ، فَتَوَسَّطُوا بِهِ الْبَحْرَ، فَإِنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَإِلَّا فَاقْذِفُوهُ، فَذَهَبُوا بِهِ، فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ اكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ، فَانْكَفَأَتْ بِهِمِ السَّفِينَةُ فَغَرِقُوا، وَجَاءَ يَمْشِي إِلَى الْمَلِكِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ: مَا فَعَلَ أَصْحَابُكَ؟ قَالَ: كَفَانِيهِمُ اللهُ، فَقَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ: إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِقَاتِلِي حَتَّى تَفْعَلَ مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ، قَالَ: وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ: تَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَتَصْلُبُنِي عَلَى جِذْعٍ، ثُمَّ خُذْ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِي، ثُمَّ ضَعِ السَّهْمَ فِي كَبِدِ الْقَوْسِ، ثُمَّ قُلْ: بِاسْمِ اللهِ رَبِّ الْغُلَامِ، ثُمَّ ارْمِنِي، فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ قَتَلْتَنِي، فَجَمَعَ النَّاسَ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَصَلَبَهُ عَلَى جِذْعٍ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ السَّهْمَ فِي كَبْدِ الْقَوْسِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: بِاسْمِ اللهِ، رَبِّ الْغُلَامِ، ثُمَّ رَمَاهُ فَوَقَعَ السَّهْمُ فِي صُدْغِهِ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي صُدْغِهِ فِي مَوْضِعِ السَّهْمِ فَمَاتَ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْغُلَامِ، آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْغُلَامِ، آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْغُلَامِ، فَأُتِيَ الْمَلِكُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ: أَرَأَيْتَ مَا كُنْتَ تَحْذَرُ؟ قَدْ وَاللهِ نَزَلَ بِكَ حَذَرُكَ، قَدْ آمَنَ النَّاسُ، فَأَمَرَ بِالْأُخْدُودِ فِي أَفْوَاهِ السِّكَكِ، فَخُدَّتْ وَأَضْرَمَ النِّيرَانَ، وَقَالَ: مَنْ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ عَنْ دِينِهِ فَأَحْمُوهُ فِيهَا، أَوْ قِيلَ لَهُ: اقْتَحِمْ، فَفَعَلُوا حَتَّى جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ وَمَعَهَا صَبِيٌّ لَهَا فَتَقَاعَسَتْ أَنْ تَقَعَ فِيهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا الْغُلَامُ: يَا أُمَّهْ اصْبِرِي فَإِنَّكِ عَلَى الْحَقِّ "

[7512] 74 - (3006) It was narrated that 'Ubādah bin Al-Walīd bin 'Ubādah bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit said: "My father and I went out seeking knowledge among this group of the Anṣār before they died. The first one whom we met was Abū Al-Yasar, the Companion of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. A slave of his was with him, and he had a binding of (paper) sheets with him. Abū Al-Yasar was wearing a Burdah and a Ma'āfiri garment, and his slave was wearing a Burdah and a Ma'āfiri garment. My father said to him: 'O uncle, I see signs of anger on your face.' He said: 'Yes, I was owed money by so-and-so the son of so-and-so Al-Ḥarāmī (from the tribe of Banū Ḥarām). I went to his family and greeted them with Salām and said: "Is he there?" They said: "No." Then a young son of his came out to me, and I said to him: "Where is your father?" He said: "He heard your voice and he hid behind my mother's bed." I said: "Come out to me, for I know where you are." He came out, and I said: "What made you hide from me?" He said: "By Allāh, I will tell you, and I will not lie to you. By Allāh, I was afraid that if I spoke to you I would lie to you, and if I made a promise to you I would break it. You were a Companion of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and by Allāh I was in (financial) difficulty." I said: "Do you swear by Allāh?" He said: "I swear by Allāh." I said: "Do you swear by Allāh?" He said: "I swear by Allāh." I said: "Do you swear by Allāh?" He said: "I swear by Allāh." He brought me his promissory note and erased it with his own hand.' He said: 'When you can afford it, pay it off, otherwise you are let off. I bear witness that these two eyes of mine saw' – and he put his fingers on his eyes – 'and these two ears of mine heard, and my heart understood' – and he pointed to his heart – 'the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when he said: Whoever waits for one who is in (financial) difficulty (to pay a debt) or waives it for him, Allāh will shade him in His shade.'"

[7513] (3007) He (i.e., 'Ubādah bin Al-Walīd bin 'Ubādah bin Aṣ-Ṣamit, narrating a Hadīth as no. 7512) said: "I said to him: 'O uncle, why don't you take the Burdah of your slave or give him your Ma'āfirī garment, or take his Ma'āfirī and give him your Burdah, then you will have a Hullah and he will have a Hullah?' He patted my head and said: 'O Allāh, bless him. O son of my brother, these two eyes of mine saw, and these two ears of mine heard, and my heart understood the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ when he said: "Feed them (slaves) from that which you eat, and clothe them from that which you wear." If I give him some worldly goods, that is easier for me than him taking some of my Hasanât (good deeds) on the Day of Resurrection."

[7514] (3008) (He continued) "Then we went on until we came to Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh in his Masjid, where he was praying in a single garment, wrapped up in it. I made my way through the people until I sat between him and the Qiblah, and I said: 'May Allâh have mercy on you. Are you praying in a single garment when your Ridâ' (upper garment) is beside you?' He gestured towards my chest with his fingers like this, holding his fingers apart and bending them (and said): 'I hoped that a fool like you would enter upon me and see what I am doing, and do likewise. (Jâbir bin Abdullâh said:) "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came to us in this Masjid of ours, and in his hand was the branch of a palm tree. He saw some sputum in the Qiblah of the Masjid, so he scratched it with this branch, then he turned to us and said: "Who among you would like Allâh to turn away from him?" We were afraid (to speak). Then he said: "Who among you would like Allâh to turn away from him?" We were afraid (to speak). Then he said: "Who among you would like Allāh to turn away from him?" We said: "None of us, O Messenger of Allāh." He said: "When one of you stands to pray, Allāh, Blessed and Exalted is He, is before him, so he should not spit in front of him or to his right; rather let him spit to his left, beneath his left foot, and if he needs to do that suddenly, then let him take his garment like this," and he folded part of his garment over another part. Then he said: "Bring some 'Abîr (a mixture of perfume)." A young man from that tribe leapt up and ran to his family, and he brought some Khalûq (a kind of perfume) in his palm. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took it, and put it at the tip of that branch, then he used it to touch the traces of that sputum.' "Jâbir said: "This is why you should put Khalûq in your Masâjid."

[7515] (3009) (Jabir continued:)" "We traveled with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on the campaign to Baṭn Buwât, and he was pursuing Al-Majdî bin 'Amr Al-Juhanî. There were five, or six, or seven of us riding each she-camel. There came the turn of 'Uqbah, an Anṣârî man, to ride the she-camel. He made it kneel and mounted it, then he tried to make it stand up, but it would not stand. He rebuked it and said, "May Allāh curse you." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Who is this who is cursing his camel?" He said: "It is me, O Messenger of Allâh." He said: "Get down from it, for no cursed thing should accompany us. Do not pray against yourselves, do not pray against your children, and do not pray against your wealth, lest that coincide with an hour when Allâh is asked and He answers your prayers."

[7516] (3010) (Jabir bin 'Abdullâh continued:*) We traveled with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and when evening came we drew near one of the oasis' of the Arabs. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Who will go ahead and set up the water tank for us, and drink and draw water for us?" Jâbir said: 'I stood up and said: "Here is your man, O Messenger of Allâh." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Who will go with Jâbir?" Jabbâr bin Šakhr stood up, and we went to the well and poured a bucket or two into the tank, then we plastered it with clay, then we poured water into it until we filled it. The first one who came to us was the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he said: "Will you permit me (to drink)?" We said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allâh." He brought his she-camel and it drank, then he pulled on its reins and it stretched its legs and urinated. Then he took it aside and made it kneel down. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came to the water tank and performed Wudû from it, then I got up and performed Wudû from the left-over Wudû' water of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. Jabbâr bin Šakhr went to relieve himself, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up to pray. I was wearing a Burdah and it was not wide enough to go around me. It had fringes and I turned it upside down and held the ends under my chin. Then I came and stood to the left of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. He took me by the hand and brought me round to stand on his right. Then Jabbâr bin Šakhr came and performed Wudû, then he came and stood to the left of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ took us both by the hand and pushed us back until we were standing behind him. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ started to cast glances at me but I did not realize, then I noticed him. He gestured with his hand like this, telling me to pull up my loincloth. When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had finished [his prayer], he said: "O Jâbir!" I said: "Here I am, O Messenger of Allâh." He said: "If it is big enough, tie its opposite ends, and if it is too small, tie it around your waist."

(3010) سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ عُشَيْشِيَةٌ وَدَنَوْنَا مَاءً مِنْ مِيَاهِ الْعَرَبِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَتَقَدَّمُنَا فَيَمْدُرُ الْحَوْضَ فَيَشْرَبُ وَيَسْقِينَا؟» قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا رَجُلٌ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّ رَجُلٍ مَعَ جَابِرٍ؟» فَقَامَ جَبَّارُ بْنُ صَخْرٍ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الْبِئْرِ، فَنَزَعْنَا فِي الْحَوْضِ سَجْلًا أَوْ سَجْلَيْنِ، ثُمَّ مَدَرْنَاهُ، ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَا فِيهِ حَتَّى أَفْهَقْنَاهُ، فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ طَالِعٍ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «أَتَأْذَنَانِ؟» قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَشْرَعَ نَاقَتَهُ فَشَرِبَتْ، شَنَقَ لَهَا فَشَجَتْ فَبَالَتْ، ثُمَّ عَدَلَ بِهَا فَأَنَاخَهَا، ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْحَوْضِ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ مِنْ مُتَوَضَّإِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَهَبَ جَبَّارُ بْنُ صَخْرٍ يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُصَلِّيَ، وَكَانَتْ عَلَيَّ بُرْدَةٌ ذَهَبْتُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهَا فَلَمْ تَبْلُغْ لِي، وَكَانَتْ لَهَا ذَبَاذِبُ فَنَكَّسْتُهَا، ثُمَّ خَالَفْتُ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهَا، ثُمَّ تَوَاقَصْتُ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَدَارَنِي حَتَّى أَقَامَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ جَبَّارُ بْنُ صَخْرٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَامَ عَنْ يَسَارِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدَيْنَا جَمِيعًا، فَدَفَعَنَا حَتَّى أَقَامَنَا خَلْفَهُ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْمُقُنِي وَأَنَا لَا أَشْعُرُ، ثُمَّ فَطِنْتُ بِهِ، فَقَالَ هَكَذَا، بِيَدِهِ - يَعْنِي شُدَّ وَسَطَكَ - فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «يَا جَابِرُ» قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَانَ وَاسِعًا فَخَالِفْ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهِ، وَإِذَا كَانَ ضَيِّقًا فَاشْدُدْهُ عَلَى حَقْوِكَ»

[7517] (3011) (Jabir continued:) We travelled with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and the food for each man among us, every day, was one date, which he would suck and then wrap it in his garment. We would also knock down leaves with our bows and eat them, until the corners of our mouths were covered with ulcers. One day a man was overlooked when the dates were distributed, and we set out carrying him, and we bore witness that he had not been given his date, then he was given it, and he stood up and took it.

[7518] (3012) (Jâbir continued) “We traveled with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ until we halted in a spacious valley. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went to relieve himself, and I followed him, bringing a bucket of water. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ looked, but he did not see anything with which to conceal himself, then he saw two trees at the end of the valley. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went to one of them and took hold of one of its branches, and said: “Follow me, by Allâh’s Leave,” and it came with him like a camel with a nose ring that follows its driver. Then he went to the second tree and took hold of one of its branches and said: “Follow me, by Allâh’s Leave,” and it came with him in a similar manner. Then when he reached the middle of the space between them, he joined them together and said: “Come together and (conceal) me, by Allâh’s Leave,” and they joined together.” Jâbir said: ‘I went away, lest the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ realize that I was nearby, and go even further away. I sat down, thinking to myself. Then I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ coming, and the two trees had parted and each one was standing in its own place. I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stand still for a moment, then he did this with his head” – and Abû Ismâ’îl (a sub narrator) turned his head right and left – “then he came forward. When he reached me he said: “O Jâbir, did you see where I was standing?” I said: “Yes, O Messenger of Allâh.” He said: “Go to the two trees and cut a branch from each one, and bring them here, then when you reach the place where I was standing, put one branch in your right hand and one in your left.” “Jâbir said: ‘I got up, picked up a stone and broke it and sharpened it, then I went to the two trees and cut a branch from each one. Then I came, dragging them, until I reached the place where the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had stood. Then I held one branch in my right hand and one in my left. Then I caught up with him, and said: “I have done that, O Messenger of Allâh; what was it for?” He said: “I passed by two graves (whose occupants) were being tormented, and I wanted to intercede so that the torment would be lessened for them so long as these branches remained fresh.”

[7519] (3013) (Jâbir said:) “Then we came to the camp, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “O Jâbir, call (the people to perform) Wudû.” I said: “Come and perform Wudû’, come and perform Wudû’, come and perform Wudû.” I said: “O Messenger of Allâh, I cannot find a drop of water in the camp.” But a man among the Anshâr used to cool water for the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ in an old waterskin of his, that was hanging on a palm tree branch. He said to me: “Go to so-and-so the son of so-and-so, the Anshâr, and see if there is anything in his waterskin.” I went to him and looked in it, and I did not find anything but a drop of water on the mouth of the waterskin, and if I had poured it, it would have been absorbed. I came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allâh, I did not find anything but a drop of water on the mouth of the waterskin, and if I had poured it, it would have been absorbed.” He said: “Go and bring it to me.” So I brought it, and he took it in his hand and started to say something that I did not understand, and he pressed it with his hand. Then he gave it to me and said: “O Jâbir, call for a tub.” I called for the tub of the camp and it was brought to me, and I placed it in front of him. Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ put his hand in the tub like this, - spreading out his fingers, then he put it on the bottom of the tub and said: "O Jâbir, take (the waterskin) and pour it on me (i.e., hands), and say: 'In the Name of Allâh.'" So I poured it onto him and said, "In the Name of Allâh," and I saw the water gushing out between the fingers of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. Then the tub gushed water until it filled up. He said: "O Jâbir, call those who need water." The people came and drank their fill, then I said: "Is there anyone left who needs it?" Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ lifted his hand from the tub and it was full.

[7521] 75 - (2009) Al-Barâ' bin 'Azīb said: "Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq came to my father in his house, and bought a saddle from him. He said to 'Azīb: 'Send your son with me to carry it with me to my house.' My father said to me: 'Carry it,' so I carried it, and my father came out with him to get its price. My father said to him: 'O Abū Bakr, tell me what happened on the night when you set out on the journey (of Al-Hijrah from Makkah to Yathrib, Al-Madinah) with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.'" "He said: 'Yes. We traveled all night, until it was noon. The road was empty and no one passed by, until we came to a big rock that cast a shadow, and the sun had not come to it yet. We stopped there, and I came to the rock and smoothed the sand with my hands so that the Prophet ﷺ could sleep in its shade. Then I spread out a blanket and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, go to sleep and I will keep watch around you." He went to sleep and I went out to keep watch around him, and I saw a shepherd bringing his flock to the rock, wanting the same as we did. I met him and said: "To whom do you belong, O boy?" He said: "To a man from Al-Madinah." I said: "Is there any milk in your sheep?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Will you milk it for me?" He said: "Yes." He took a sheep, and I said to him: "Clean the udder of hair and dust and dirt." – He (the narrator) said: "I saw Al-Barâ striking one hand against the other, to demonstrate." – 'He milked it for me into a wooden cup, one squirt of milk. I had a bucket with which I would bring water to the Prophet ﷺ to drink and perform Wudû'. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and I did not like to wake him up from his sleep. But when I got there, he was already awake, and I poured some water onto the milk to cool it, and I said: "O Messenger of Allâh, drink some of this milk." He drank until I was pleased, then he said: "Isn't it time to move on now?" I said: "Yes." So we moved on after the sun had passed its zenith. We were being followed by Surâqah bin Mâlik and we were on solid level ground. I said: "O Messenger of Allâh, someone is coming to us." He said: "Do not worry, Allâh is with us." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed against him, and his horse sank up to its belly in the earth. He said: "I know that you have prayed against me. Pray for me, and by Allâh I promise that I will divert those who come after you." So he (ﷺ) prayed to Allâh and he was saved, and he went back, and he did not meet anyone but he said: "I have checked this area for you.” He did not meet anyone but he turned him back, and he fulfilled his promise to us.”

75 - (2009) حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ، يَقُولُ: جَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ إِلَى أَبِي فِي مَنْزِلِهِ، فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ رَحْلًا، فَقَالَ لِعَازِبٍ: ابْعَثْ مَعِيَ ابْنَكَ يَحْمِلْهُ مَعِي إِلَى مَنْزِلِي، فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي: احْمِلْهُ، فَحَمَلْتُهُ، وَخَرَجَ أَبِي مَعَهُ يَنْتَقِدُ ثَمَنَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ حَدِّثْنِي كَيْفَ صَنَعْتُمَا لَيْلَةَ سَرَيْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أَسْرَيْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا كُلَّهَا، حَتَّى قَامَ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ، وَخَلَا الطَّرِيقُ فَلَا يَمُرُّ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ، حَتَّى رُفِعَتْ لَنَا صَخْرَةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ لَهَا ظِلٌّ، لَمْ تَأْتِ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ بَعْدُ، فَنَزَلْنَا عِنْدَهَا، فَأَتَيْتُ الصَّخْرَةَ فَسَوَّيْتُ بِيَدِي مَكَانًا، يَنَامُ فِيهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ظِلِّهَا، ثُمَّ بَسَطْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرْوَةً، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: نَمْ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَأَنَا أَنْفُضُ لَكَ مَا حَوْلَكَ، فَنَامَ وَخَرَجْتُ أَنْفُضُ مَا حَوْلَهُ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَاعِي غَنَمٍ مُقْبِلٍ بِغَنَمِهِ إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، يُرِيدُ مِنْهَا الَّذِي أَرَدْنَا، فَلَقِيتُهُ فَقُلْتُ: لِمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ يَا غُلَامُ فَقَالَ: لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، قُلْتُ: أَفِي غَنَمِكَ لَبَنٌ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: أَفَتَحْلُبُ لِي؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَأَخَذَ شَاةً، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: انْفُضْ الضَّرْعَ مِنَ الشَّعَرِ وَالتُّرَابِ وَالْقَذَى - قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَضْرِبُ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى يَنْفُضُ - فَحَلَبَ لِي، فِي قَعْبٍ مَعَهُ، كُثْبَةً مِنْ لَبَنٍ، قَالَ: وَمَعِي إِدَاوَةٌ أَرْتَوِي فِيهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لِيَشْرَبَ مِنْهَا وَيَتَوَضَّأَ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُوقِظَهُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ، فَوَافَقْتُهُ اسْتَيْقَظَ، فَصَبَبْتُ عَلَى اللَّبَنِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ حَتَّى بَرَدَ أَسْفَلُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اشْرَبْ مِنْ هَذَا اللَّبَنِ، قَالَ: فَشَرِبَ حَتَّى رَضِيتُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلرَّحِيلِ؟» قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَارْتَحَلْنَا بَعْدَمَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَاتَّبَعَنَا سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: وَنَحْنُ فِي جَلَدٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُتِينَا، فَقَالَ: «لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللهَ مَعَنَا» فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَارْتَطَمَتْ فَرَسُهُ إِلَى بَطْنِهَا، أُرَى فَقَالَ: إِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكُمَا قَدْ دَعَوْتُمَا عَلَيَّ، فَادْعُوَا لِي، فَاللهُ لَكُمَا أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْكُمَا الطَّلَبَ فَدَعَا اللهَ، فَنَجَا، فَرَجَعَ لَا يَلْقَى أَحَدًا إِلَّا قَالَ: قَدْ كَفَيْتُكُمْ مَا هَاهُنَا، فَلَا يَلْقَى أَحَدًا إِلَّا رَدَّهُ، قَالَ: وَوَفَى لَنَا،

[7522] (...) It was narrated that Al-Barâ’ said: “Abû Bakr bought a saddle from my father for thirteen Dirham” – and he quoted a Hadîth like that of Zuhair from Abû Ishâq (no. 7521). And he said in his Hadîth, from the report of ‘Uthmân bin ‘Umar: “...When he (Surâqah bin Mâlik) drew near, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed against him, and his horse sank up to its belly in the earth. He leapt from it and said: ‘O Muhammad, I know that this is your doing. Pray to Allâh to save me from it, and I promise you that I will keep it secret from those who are behind me. Here is my bow, take an arrow from it, and you will find my camels and my slaves in such and such a place; take whatever you need of them.’ He said: ‘I have no need of your camels.’ And we came to Al-Madinah at night, and they disputed as to which of them the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ would stay with. He (ﷺ) said: ‘I will go and stay with Banû An-Najjâr, the maternal uncles of ‘Abdul-Muṭṭalib, and honor them thereby.’ The men and women climbed on top of the houses, and the children and servants scattered in the streets, calling out: ‘O Muhammad, O Messenger of Allâh, O Muḥammad, O Messenger of Allâh!’”
