Apostle! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the prayers
at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is next in
goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I
further asked, what is next in goodness?" He replied, "To

Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 43:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(That she said), "O Allah's Apostle! We

accepted by Allah)."
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 44:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to Allah's Apostle and said,
"Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward)." He
replied, "I do not find such a deed." Then he added, "Can you, while
the Muslim fighter is in the battle-field, enter your mosque to
perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?"
The man said, "But who can do that?" Abu- Huraira added, "The
Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of
his horse while it wanders bout (for grazing) tied in a long rope."
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 45:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Somebody asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is
the best among the people?" Allah's Apostle replied "A believer who
strives his utmost in Allah's Cause with his life and property."
They asked, "Who is next?" He replied, "A believer who stays in one
of the mountain paths worshipping Allah and leaving the people
secure from his mischief."
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 46:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The
example of a Mujahid in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who
really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays
continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His
Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to
his home safely with rewards and war booty."
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 47:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle used to visit Um Haran bint
Milhan, who would offer him reals. Um-Haram was the wife of Ubada
bin As-Samit. Allah's Apostle, once visited her and she provided him
with food and started looking for lice in his head. Then Allah's
Apostle slept, and afterwards woke up smiling. Um Haran asked, "What
causes you to smile, O Allah's Apostle?" He said. "Some of my
followers who (in a dream) were presented before me as fighters in
Allah's Cause (on board a ship) amidst this sea cause me to smile;
they were as kings on the thrones (or like kings on the thrones)."
(Ishaq, a sub-narrator is not sure as to which expression the
Prophet used.) Um-Haram said, "O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah that
he makes me one of them. Allah's Apostle invoked Allah for her and
slept again and woke up smiling. Once again Um Haram asked, "What
makes you smile, O Allah's Apostle?" He replied, "Some of my
followers were presented to me as fighters in Allah's Cause,"
repeating the same dream. Um-Haram said, "O Allah's Apostle! Invoke
Allah that He makes me one of them." He said, "You are amongst the
first ones." It happened that she sailed on the sea during the
Caliphate of Mu'awlya bin Abi Sufyan, and after she disembarked, she
fell down from her riding animal and died.
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 48:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Whoever believes in
Allah and His Apostle, offer prayer perfectly and fasts the month of
Ramadan, will rightfully be granted Paradise by Allah, no matter
whether he fights in Allah's Cause or remains in the land where he
is born." The people said, "O Allah's Apostle ! Shall we acquaint
the people with the is good news?" He said, "Paradise has
one-hundred grades which Allah has reserved for the Mujahidin who
fight in His Cause, and the distance between each of two grades is
like the distance between the Heaven and the Earth. So, when you ask
Allah (for something), ask for Al-firdaus which is the best and
highest part of Paradise." (i.e. The sub-narrator added, "I think
the Prophet also said, 'Above it (i.e. Al-Firdaus) is the Throne of
Beneficent (i.e. Allah), and from it originate the rivers of
Paradise.")
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 49:

that on which the sun rises and sets."

The Prophet said, "Nobody who dies and
finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter) would wish to come back to
this world even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in
it, except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom,
would like to come back to the world and get killed again (in
Allah's Cause)."
Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "A single
endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's Cause in the afternoon or in the
forenoon is better than all the world and whatever is in it. A place
in Paradise as small as the bow or lash of one of you is better than
all the world and whatever is in it. And if a houri from Paradise
appeared to the people of the earth, she would fill the space
between Heaven and the Earth with light and pleasant scent and her
head cover is better than the world and whatever is in it."
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 54:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hands my
life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike
to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of
conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya'
(army-unit) setting out in Allah's Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my
life is! I would love to be martyred in Al1ah's Cause and then get
resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again
and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get
martyred.
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 55:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet delivered a sermon and said,
"Zaid took the flag and was martyred, and then Ja'far took the flag
and was martyred, and then 'Abdullah bin Rawaha took the flag and
was martyred too, and then Khalid bin Al-Walid took the flag though
he was not appointed as a commander and Allah made him victorious."
The Prophet further added, "It would not please us to have them with
us." Aiyub, a sub-narrator, added, "Or the Prophet, shedding tears,
said, 'It would not p ease them to be with us."
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 56:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Um Haram said, "Once the Prophet slept in
my house near to me and got up smiling. I said, 'What makes you
smile?' He replied, 'Some of my followers who (i.e. in a dream) were
presented to me sailing on this green sea like kings on thrones.' I
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah to make me one of them." So
the Prophet invoked Allah for her and went to sleep again. He did
the same (i.e. got up and told his dream) and Um Haran repeated her
question and he gave the same reply. She said, "Invoke Allah to make
me one of them." He said, "You are among the first batch." Later on
it happened that she went out in the company of her husband 'Ubada
bin As-Samit who went for Jihad and it was the first time the
Muslims undertook a naval expedition led by Mu awiya. When the
expedition came to an end and they were returning to Sham, a riding
animal was presented to her to ride, but the animal let her fall and
thus she died.
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 57:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet sent seventy men from the tribe
of Bani Salim to the tribe of Bani Amir. When they reached there, my
maternal uncle said to them, "I will go ahead of you, and if they
allow me to convey the message of Allah's Apostle (it will be all
right); otherwise you will remain close to me." So he went ahead of
them and the pagans granted him security But while he was reporting
the message of the Prophet , they beckoned to one of their men who
stabbed him to death. My maternal uncle said, "Allah is Greater! By
the Lord of the Kaba, I am successful." After that they attached the
rest of the party and killed them all except a lame man who went up
to the top of the mountain. (Hammam, a sub-narrator said, "I think
another man was saved along with him)." Gabriel informed the Prophet
that they (i.e the martyrs) met their Lord, and He was pleased with
them and made them pleased. We used to recite, "Inform our people
that we have met our Lord, He is pleased with us and He has made us
pleased " Later on this Quranic Verse was cancelled. The Prophet
invoked Allah for forty days to curse the murderers from the tribe
of Ral, Dhakwan, Bani Lihyan and Bam Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and
his Apostle

of musk."
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 60:
Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas:
That Abu Sufyan told him that Heraclius
said to him, "I asked you about the outcome of your battles with him
(i.e. the Prophet ) and you told me that you fought each other with
alternate success. So the Apostles are tested in this way but the
ultimate victory is always theirs.
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 61:
Narrated Anas:
My uncle Anas bin An-Nadr was absent from
the Battle of Badr. He said, "O Allah's Apostle! I was absent from
the first battle you fought against the pagans. (By Allah) if Allah
gives me a chance to fight the pagans, no doubt. Allah will see how
(bravely) I will fight." On the day of Uhud when the Muslims turned
their backs and fled, he said, "O Allah! I apologize to You for what
these (i.e. his companions) have done, and I denounce what these
(i.e. the pagans) have done." Then he advanced and Sad bin Muadh met
him. He said "O Sad bin Muadh ! By the Lord of An-Nadr, Paradise! I
am smelling its aroma coming from before (the mountain of) Uhud,"
Later on Sad said, "O Allah's Apostle! I cannot achieve or do what
he (i.e. Anas bin An-Nadr) did. We found more than eighty wounds by
swords and arrows on his body. We found him dead and his body was
mutilated so badly that none except his sister could recognize him
by his fingers." We used to think that the following Verse was
revealed concerning him and other men of his sort: "Among the
believers are men who have been true to their covenant with
Allah.........." (33.23)
His sister Ar-Rubbaya' broke a front tooth
of a woman and Allah's Apostle ordered for retaliation. On that Anas
(bin An-Nadr) said, "O Allah's Apostle! By Him Who has sent you with
the Truth, my sister's tooth shall not be broken." Then the
opponents of Anas's sister accepted the compensation and gave up the
claim of retaliation. So Allah's Apostle said, "There are some
people amongst Allah's slaves whose oaths are fulfilled by Allah
when they take them."
Volume 4, Book 52,

Narrated Kharija bin Zaid:
Zaid bin Thabit said, "When the Quran was
compiled from various written manuscripts, one of the Verses of
Surat Al-Ahzab was missing which I used to hear Allah's Apostle
reciting. I could not find it except with Khuzaima bin Thabjt
Al-Ansari, whose witness Allah's Apostle regarded as equal to the
witness of two men. And the Verse was:-- "Among the believers are
men who have been true to what they covenanted with Allah." (33.23)

A man whose face was covered with an iron
mask (i.e. clad in armor) came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first? "The Prophet said,
"Embrace Islam first and then fight." So he embraced Islam, and was
martyred. Allah's Apostle said, A Little work, but a great reward.
"(He did very little (after embracing Islam), but he will be
rewarded in abundance)."

martyred) on the day of Badr with an arrow thrown by an unidentified
person. She added, "If he is in Paradise, I will be patient;
otherwise, I will weep bitterly for him." He said, "O mother of
Hartha! There are Gardens in Paradise and your son got the
Firdausal-ala (i.e. the best place in Paradise)."

Number 65:

A man came to the Prophet and asked, "A man

superior, fights in Allah's Cause."

sat down with his legs drawn up and wrapped in his garment and said,
"(During the construction of the mosque of the Prophet) we carried
the adobe of the mosque, one brick at a time while 'Ammar used to
carry two at a time. The Prophet passed by 'Ammar and removed the
dust off his head and said, "May Allah be merciful to 'Ammar. He
will be killed by a rebellious aggressive group. 'Ammar will invite
them to (obey) Allah and they will invite him to the (Hell) fire."

to him saying, "You have put down your arms! By Allah, I have not
put down my arms yet." Allah's Apostle said, "Where (to go now)?"

wills) but he did not say, 'Allah willing.' Therefore only one of

have begotten sons) all of whom would have been knights striving in
Allah's Cause."

Qaduim (i.e. grazing place of sheep) blames me for killing a Muslim

pleasures). A man got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Can the good
bring about evil?" The Prophet remained silent and we thought that
he was being inspired divinely, so all the people kept silent with
awe. Then the Prophet wiped the sweat off his face and asked, "Where
is the present questioner?" "Do you think wealth is good?" he
repeated thrice, adding, "No doubt, good produces nothing but good.
Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a stream which either
kills or nearly kills the grazing animals because of gluttony except
the vegetation-eating animal which eats till both its flanks are
full (i.e. till it gets satisfied) and then stands in the sun and
defecates and urinates and again starts grazing. This worldly
property is sweet vegetation. How excellent the wealth of the Muslim
is, if it is collected through legal means and is spent in Allah's
Cause and on orphans, poor people and travelers. But he who does not
take it legally is like an eater who is never satisfied and his
wealth will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, " Horses are kept for
one of three purposes; for some people they are a source of reward,
for some others they are a means of shelter and for some others they
are a source of sins. The one for whom they are a source of reward,
is he who keeps a horse for Allah's Cause (i.e. Jihad) tying it with
a long tether on a meadow or in a garden with the result that
whatever it eats from the area of the meadow or the garden where it
is tied will be counted as good deeds for his benefit, and if it
should break its rope and jump over one or two hillocks then all its
dung and its foot marks will be written as good deeds for him; and
if it passes by a river and drinks water from it even though he had
no intention of watering it, even then he will get the reward for
its drinking. As for the man for whom horses are a source of sins,
he is the one who keeps a horse for the sake of pride and pretense
and showing enmity for Muslims: such a horse will be a source of
sins for him. When Allah's Apostle was asked about donkeys, he
replied, "Nothing has been revealed to me about them except this
unique, comprehensive Verse: "Then anyone who does an atom's (or a
small ant's) weight of good shall see it; And anyone who does an
atom's (or a small ant's) weight of evil, shall see it.' (101.7-8)

Aqil said, "I do not know whether that journey was for the purpose
of Jihad or 'Umra.") "When we were returning," Jabir continued, "the
Prophet said, 'Whoever wants to return earlier to his family, should
hurry up.' We set off and I was on a black red tainted camel having
no defect, and the people were behind me. While I was in that state
the camel stopped suddenly (because of exhaustion). On that the
Prophet said to me, 'O Jabir, wait!' Then he hit it once with his
lash and it started moving on a fast pace. He then said, 'Will you
sell the camel?' I replied in the affirmative when we reached
Medina, and the Prophet went to the Mosque along with his
companions. I, too, went to him after tying the camel on the
pavement at the Mosque gate. Then I said to him, 'This is your
camel.' He came out and started examining the camel and saying, 'The
camel is ours.' Then the Prophet sent some Awaq (i.e. an amount) of
gold saying, 'Give it to Jabir.' Then he asked, 'Have you taken the
full price (of the camel)?' I replied in the affirmative. He said,
'Both the price and the camel are for you.' ''

stopped to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, "O Allah! I seek
refuge with You from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and
laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt
and from being overcome by men." Then we reached Khaibar; and when
Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of
Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him. Her husband had
been killed while she was a bride. So Allah's Apostle selected her
for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place
called Sad-AsSahba,' where her menses were over and he took her for
his wife. Haris (a kind of dish) was served on a small leather
sheet. Then Allah's Apostle told me to call those who were around
me. So, that was the marriage banquet of Allah's Apostle and Safiya.

the hump of the camel so as to make a wide space for Safiya (to sit
on behind him) He sat beside his camel letting his knees for Safiya
to put her feet on so as to mount the camel. Then, we proceeded till

(to watch what he does)" Thus he accompanied him, and wherever he
stood, he would stand with him, and wherever he ran, he would run
with him.
Then the (brave) man got wounded seriously
and he decided to bring about his death quickly. He planted the
blade of the sword in the ground directing its sharp end towards his
chest between his two breasts. Then he leaned on the sword and
killed himself. The other man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "I
testify that you are Allah's Apostle." The Prophet asked, "What has
happened?" He replied, "(It is about) the man whom you had described
as one of the people of the (Hell) Fire. The people were greatly
surprised at what you said, and I said, 'I will find out his reality
for you.' So, I came out seeking him. He got severely wounded, and
hastened to die by slanting the blade of his sword in the ground
directing its sharp end towards his chest between his two breasts.
Then he eased on his sword and killed himself." when Allah's Apostle
said, "A man may seem to the people as if he were practising the

it wipes out his traces, but whenever the miser wants to give in

Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas:
Allah's Apostle wrote to Caesar and invited
him to Islam and sent him his letter with Dihya Al-Kalbi whom
Allah's Apostle ordered to hand it over to the Governor of Busra who
would forward it to Caesar. Caesar as a sign of gratitude to Allah,
had walked from Hims to Ilya (i.e. Jerusalem) when Allah had granted
Him victory over the Persian forces. So, when the letter of Allah's
Apostle reached Caesar, he said after reading t, 'Seek for me any
one of his people! (Arabs of Quraish tribe) if present here, in
order to ask him about Allah's Apostle. At that time Abu Sufyan bin
Harb was in Sham with some men frown Quraish who had come (to Sham)
as merchants during the truce that had been concluded between
Allah's Apostle; and the infidels of Quraish. Abu Sufyan said,
Caesar's messenger found us somewhere in Sham so he took me and my
companions to Ilya and we were admitted into Ceasar's court to find
him sitting in his royal court wearing a crown and surrounded by the
senior dignitaries of the Byzantine. He said to his translator. 'Ask
them who amongst them is a close relation to the man who claims to
be a prophet." Abu Sufyan added, "I replied, 'I am the nearest
relative to him.' He asked, 'What degree of relationship do you have
with him?' I replied, 'He is my cousin,' and there was none of Bani
Abu Manaf in the caravan except myself. Caesar said, 'Let him come
nearer.' He then ordered that my companions stand behind me near my
shoulder and said to his translator, 'Tell his companions that I am
going to ask this man about the man who claims to be a prophet. If
he tells a lie, they should contradict him immediately." Abu Sufyan
added, "By Allah ! Had it not been shameful that my companions label
me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about him when he asked
me. But I considered it shameful to be called a liar by my
companions. So I told the truth. He then said to his translator,
'Ask him what kind of family does he belong to.' I replied, 'He
belongs to a noble family amongst us.' He said, 'Have anybody else
amongst you ever claimed the same before him? 'I replied, 'No.' He
said, 'Had you ever blamed him for telling lies before he claimed
what he claimed? ' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Was anybody amongst
his ancestors a king?' I replied, 'No.' He said, "Do the noble or
the poor follow him?' I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.' He
said, 'Are they increasing or decreasing (day by day)?' I replied,'
They are increasing.' He said, 'Does anybody amongst those who
embrace his (the Prophet's) Religion become displeased and then
discard his Religion?'. I replied, 'No. ' He said, 'Does he break
his promises? I replied, 'No, but we are now at truce with him and
we are afraid that he may betray us." Abu Sufyan added, "Other than
the last sentence, I could not say anything against him. Caesar then
asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?' I replied, 'Yes.' He
said, 'What was the outcome of your battles with him?' I replied,
'The result was unstable; sometimes he was victorious and sometimes
we.' He said, 'What does he order you to do?' I said, 'He tells us
to worship Allah alone, and not to worship others along with Him,
and to leave all that our fore-fathers used to worship. He orders us
to pray, give in charity, be chaste, keep promises and return what
is entrusted to us.' When I had said that, Caesar said to his
translator, 'Say to him: I ask you about his lineage and your reply
was that he belonged to a noble family. In fact, all the apostles
came from the noblest lineage of their nations. Then I questioned
you whether anybody else amongst you had claimed such a thing, and
your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the
affirmative, I would have thought that this man was following a
claim that had been said before him. When I asked you whether he was
ever blamed for telling lies, your reply was in the negative, so I
took it for granted that a person who did not tell a lie about
(others) the people could never tell a lie about Allah. Then I asked
you whether any of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the
negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have
thought that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom.
When I asked you whether the rich or the poor people followed him,
you replied that it was the poor who followed him. In fact, such are
the followers of the apostles. Then I asked you whether his
followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were
increasing. In fact, this is the result of true faith till it is
complete (in all respects). I asked you whether there was anybody
who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded
his religion; your reply was in the negative. In fact, this is the
sign of true faith, for when its cheerfulness enters and mixes in
the hearts completely, nobody will be displeased with it. I asked
you whether he had ever broken his promise. You replied in the
negative. And such are the apostles; they never break their
promises. When I asked you whether you fought with him and he fought
with you, you replied that he did, and that sometimes he was
victorious and sometimes you. Indeed, such are the apostles; they
are put to trials and the final victory is always theirs. Then I
asked you what he ordered you. You replied that he ordered you to
worship Allah alone and not to worship others along with Him, to
leave all that your fore-fathers used to worship, to offer prayers,
to speak the truth, to be chaste, to keep promises, and to return
what is entrusted to you. These are really the qualities of a
prophet who, I knew (from the previous Scriptures) would appear, but
I did not know that he would be from amongst you. If what you say
should be true, he will very soon occupy the earth under my feet,
and if I knew that I would reach him definitely, I would go
immediately to meet Him; and were I with him, then I would certainly
wash his feet.' " Abu Sufyan added, "Caesar then asked for the
letter of Allah's Apostle and it was read. Its contents were:--
"In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent,
the most Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad, the slave of
Allah, and His Apostle, to Heraculius, the Ruler of the Byzantine.
Peace be upon the followers of guidance. Now then, I invite you to
Islam (i.e. surrender to Allah), embrace Islam and you will be safe;
embrace Islam and Allah will bestow on you a double reward. But if
you reject this invitation of Islam, you shall be responsible for
misguiding the peasants (i.e. your nation). O people of the
Scriptures! Come to a word common to you and us and you, that we
worship. None but Allah, and that we associate nothing in worship
with Him; and that none of us shall take others as Lords besides
Allah. Then if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are (they
who have surrendered (unto Him)..(3.64)
Abu Sufyan added, "When Heraclius had
finished his speech, there was a great hue and cry caused by the
Byzantine Royalties surrounding him, and there was so much noise
that I did not understand what they said. So, we were turned out of
the court. When I went out with my companions and we were alone, I
said to them, 'Verily, Ibn Abi Kabsha's (i.e. the Prophet's) affair
has gained power. This is the King of Bani Al-Asfar fearing him."
Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah, I remained low and was sure that his
religion would be victorious till Allah converted me to Islam,
though I disliked it "

given, and everyone of them wished to be given the flag. But the
Prophet asked for 'Ali. Someone informed him that he was suffering
from eye-trouble. So, he ordered them to bring 'Ali in front of him.
Then the Prophet spat in his eyes and his eyes were cured
immediately as if he had never any eye-trouble. 'Ali said, "We will
fight with them (i.e. infidels) till they become like us (i.e.
Muslims)." The Prophet said, "Be patient, till you face them and
invite them to Islam and inform them of what Allah has enjoined upon
them. By Allah! If a single person embraces Islam at your hands
(i.e. through you), that will be better for you than the red
camels."

to perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba, and between Safa and Marwa

justly, then he will be rewarded for that, and if he does the
opposite, he will be responsible for that."

cannot do (should we obey him?)" I replied, "By Allah, I do not know
what to reply you, except that we, were in the company of the
Prophet and he used to order us to do a thing once only till we
finished it. And no doubt, everyone among you will remain in a good
state as long as he obeys Allah. If one is in doubt as to the
legality of something, he should ask somebody who would satisfy him,
but soon will come a time when you will not find such a man. By Him,
except Whom none has the right to be worshipped. I see that the
example of what has passed of this life (to what remains thereof) is
like a pond whose fresh water has been used up and nothing remains
but muddy water."

behind it and rebuked it and prayed for it so it started surpassing
the other camels and going ahead of them. Then he asked me, "How do
you find your camel (now)?" I replied, "I find it quite well, now as
it has received your blessings." He said, "Will you sell it to me?"
I felt shy (to refuse his offer) though it was the only camel for
irrigation we had. So, I said, "Yes." He said, "Sell it to me then."
I sold it to him on the condition that I should keep on riding it
till I reached Medina. Then I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am a
bridegroom," and requested him to allow me to go home. He allowed
me, and I set out for Medina before the people till I reached
Medina, where I met my uncle, who asked me about the camel and I
informed him all about it and he blamed me for that. When I took the
permission of Allah's Apostle he asked me whether I had married a
virgin or a matron and I replied that I had married a matron. He
said, "Why hadn't you married a virgin who would have played with
you, and you would have played with her?" I replied, "O Allah's
Apostle! My father died (or was martyred) and I have some young
sisters, so I felt it not proper that I should marry a young girl
like them who would neither teach them manners nor serve them. So, I
have married a matron so that she may serve them and teach them
manners." When Allah's Apostle arrived in Medina, I took the camel
to him the next morning and he gave me its price and gave me the
camel itself as well.

protect their dependents and property . So, I wanted to recompense
for my lacking blood relation to them by doing them a favor so that
they might protect my dependents. I did this neither because of
disbelief not apostasy nor out of preferring Kufr (disbelief) to
Islam." Allah's Apostle, said, "Hatib has told you the truth." Umar

'Ali?" He was told that 'Ali was suffering from eye-trouble, so he
applied saliva to his eyes and invoked Allah to cure him. He at once
got cured as if he had no ailment. The Prophet gave him the flag.
'Ali said, "Should I fight them till they become like us (i.e.
Muslim)?" The Prophet said, "Go to them patiently and calmly till

and His Apostle."

with some milk." Allah's Apostle said, "I recommend that you should
join the herd of camels." So they went and drank the urine and the
milk of the camels (as a medicine) till they became healthy and fat.
Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels, and they
became unbelievers after whey were Muslims. When the Prophet was
informed by a shouter for help, he sent some men in their pursuit,
and before the sun rose high, they were brought, and he had their
hands and feet cut off. Then he ordered for nails which were heated
and passed over their eyes, and whey were left in the Harra (i.e.
rocky land in Medina). They asked for water, and nobody provided
them with water till they died (Abu Qilaba, a sub-narrator said,

firm on horses, so the Prophet , stroke me over my chest till I saw
his finger-marks over my chest, he said, 'O Allah! Make him firm and
make him a guiding and rightly guided man.' " Jarir proceeded
towards that house, and dismantled and burnt it. Then he sent a
messenger to Allah's Apostle informing him of that. Jarir's
messenger said, "By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I did not
come to you till I had left it like an emancipated or gabby camel
(i.e. completely marred and spoilt)." Jarir added, "The Prophet
asked for Allah's Blessings for the horses and the men of Ahmas five

theirs, so they went out in its search. I, too, went out along with
them, pretending to look for it. They found the donkey and entered
their fort. And I, too, entered along with them. They closed the
gate of the fort at night, and kept its keys in a small window where
I could see them. When those people slept, I took the keys and
opened the gate of the fort and came upon Abu Rafi and said, 'O Abu
Rafi. When he replied me, I proceeded towards the voice and hit him.
He shouted and I came out to come back, pretending to be a helper. I
said, 'O Abu Rafi, changing the tone of my voice. He asked me, 'What
do you want; woe to your mother?' I asked him, 'What has happened to
you?' He said, 'I don't know who came to me and hit me.' Then I
drove my sword into his belly and pushed it forcibly till it touched
the bone. Then I came out, filled with puzzlement and went towards a
ladder of theirs in order to get down but I fell down and sprained
my foot. I came to my companions and said, 'I will not leave till I
hear the wailing of the women.' So, I did not leave till I heard the

The Prophet appointed 'Abdullah bin Jubair
as the commander of the infantry men (archers) who were fifty on the
day (of the battle) of Uhud. He instructed them, "Stick to your
place, and don't leave it even if you see birds snatching us, till I
send for you; and if you see that we have defeated the infidels and
made them flee, even then you should not leave your place till I
send for you." Then the infidels were defeated. By Allah, I saw the
women fleeing lifting up their clothes revealing their leg-bangles
and their legs. So, the companions of 'Abdullah bin Jubair said,
"The booty! O people, the booty ! Your companions have become
victorious, what are you waiting for now?" 'Abdullah bin Jubair
said, "Have you forgotten what Allah's Apostle said to you?" They
replied, "By Allah! We will go to the people (i.e. the enemy) and
collect our share from the war booty." But when they went to them,
they were forced to turn back defeated. At that time Allah's Apostle
in their rear was calling them back. Only twelve men remained with
the Prophet and the infidels martyred seventy men from us.
On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the
Prophet and his companions had caused the 'Pagans to lose 140 men,
seventy of whom were captured and seventy were killed. Then Abu
Sufyan asked thrice, "Is Muhammad present amongst these people?" The
Prophet ordered his companions not to answer him. Then he asked
thrice, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa present amongst these people?" He
asked again thrice, "Is the son of Al-Khattab present amongst these
people?" He then returned to his companions and said, "As for these
(men), they have been killed." 'Umar could not control himself and
said (to Abu Sufyan), "You told a lie, by Allah! O enemy of Allah!
All those you have mentioned are alive, and the thing which will
make you unhappy is still there." Abu Sufyan said, "Our victory
today is a counterbalance to yours in the battle of Badr, and in war
(the victory) is always undecided and is shared in turns by the
belligerents, and you will find some of your (killed) men mutilated,
but I did not urge my men to do so, yet I do not feel sorry for
their deed" After that he started reciting cheerfully, "O Hubal, be
high! (1) On that the Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't
you answer him back?" They said, "O Allah's Apostle What shall we
say?" He said, "Say, Allah is Higher and more Sublime." (Then) Abu
Sufyan said, "We have the (idol) Al Uzza, and you have no Uzza." The
Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?"

Allah is our Helper and you have no helper."

He replied, "The she-camels of the Prophet have been taken away." I
said, "Who took them?" He said, "Ghatafan and Fazara." So, I sent
three cries, "O Sabaha-h ! O Sabahah !" so loudly that made the
people in between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains hear me. Then I
rushed till I met them after they had taken the camels away. I
started throwing arrows at them saying, "I am the son of Al-Akwa";
and today perish the mean people!" So, I saved the she-camels from
them before they (i.e. the robbers) could drink water. When I
returned driving the camels, the Prophet met me, I said, "O Allah's
Apostle Those people are thirsty and I have prevented them from
drinking water, so send some people to chase them." The Prophet
said, "O son of Al-Akwa', you have gained power (over your enemy),
so forgive (them). (Besides) those people are now being entertained

Apostle said (to the Ansar), "Stand up for your leader." Then Sad
came and sat beside Allah's Apostle who said to him. "These people
are ready to accept your judgment." Sad said, "I give the judgment

should be taken as prisoners." The Prophet then remarked, "O Sad!
You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of
the King Allah."
Volume 4, Book 52,
Number 281:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle sent a Sariya of ten men as
spies under the leadership of 'Asim bin Thabit al-Ansari, the
grandfather of 'Asim bin Umar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they
reached Hadaa, a place between 'Usfan, and Mecca, and their news
reached a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Lihyan. About
two-hundred men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their
tracks till they found the place where they had eaten dates they had
brought with them from Medina. They said, "These are the dates of
Yathrib (i.e. Medina), "and continued following their tracks When
'Asim and his companions saw their pursuers, they went up a high
place and the infidels circled them. The infidels said to them,
"Come down and surrender, and we promise and guarantee you that we
will not kill any one of you" 'Asim bin Thabit; the leader of the
Sariya said, "By Allah! I will not come down to be under the
protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your Prophet.
Then the infidels threw arrows at them till they martyred 'Asim
along with six other men, and three men came down accepting their
promise and convention, and they were Khubaib-al-Ansari and Ibn
Dathina and another man So, when the infidels captured them, they
undid the strings of their bows and tied them. Then the third (of
the captives) said, "This is the first betrayal. By Allah! I will
not go with you. No doubt these, namely the martyred, have set a
good example to us." So, they dragged him and tried to compel him to
accompany them, but as he refused, they killed him. They took
Khubaid and Ibn Dathina with them and sold them (as slaves) in Mecca
(and all that took place) after the battle of Badr. Khubaib was
bought by the sons of Al-Harith bin 'Amir bin Naufal bin 'Abd Manaf.
It was Khubaib who had killed Al-Harith bin 'Amir on the day (of the
battle of) Badr. So, Khubaib remained a prisoner with those people.
Narrated Az-Zuhri: 'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyyad
said that the daughter of Al-Harith had told him, "When those people
gathered (to kill Khubaib) he borrowed a razor from me to shave his
pubes and I gave it to him. Then he took a son of mine while I was
unaware when he came upon him. I saw him placing my son on his thigh
and the razor was in his hand. I got scared so much that Khubaib
noticed the agitation on my face and said, 'Are you afraid that I
will kill him? No, I will never do so.' By Allah, I never saw a
prisoner better than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating of
a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was chained in irons, and
there was no fruit at that time in Mecca." The daughter of Al-Harith
used to say, "It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib." When they
took him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its
boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let him offer two Rakat
(prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two Rakat and then said,
"Hadn't I been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of
being killed), I would have prolonged the prayer. O Allah, kill them
all with no exception." (He then recited the poetic verse):-- "I
being martyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah's
Cause, For my killing is for Allah's Sake, And if Allah wishes, He
will bless the amputated parts of a torn body" Then the son of Al
Harith killed him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any
Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer a two-Rak'at prayer
(before being killed). Allah fulfilled the invocation of Asim bin
Thabit on that very day on which he was martyred. The Prophet
informed his companions of their news and what had happened to them.
Later on when some infidels from Quraish were informed that Asim had
been killed, they sent some people to fetch a part of his body (i.e.
his head) by which he would be recognized. (That was because) 'Asim
had killed one of their chiefs on the day (of the battle) of Badr.
So, a swarm of wasps, resembling a shady cloud, were sent to hover
over Asim and protect him from their messenger and thus they could
not cut off anything from his flesh.

calling me for." The Prophet on his death-bed, gave three orders
saying, "Expel the pagans from the Arabian Peninsula, respect and

said, "Ibn Saiyad! Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?" Ibn
Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Apostle
of the illiterates."
Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet. "Do you
testify that I am the apostle of Allah?" The Prophet said to him, "I
believe in Allah and His Apostles." Then the Prophet said (to Ibn
Saiyad). "What do you see?" Ibn Saiyad replied, "True people and
false ones visit me." The Prophet said, "Your mind is confused as to
this matter." The Prophet added, " I have kept something (in my
mind) for you." Ibn Saiyad said, "It is Ad-Dukh." The Prophet said
(to him), "Shame be on you! You cannot cross your limits." On that

hear something from the Ibn Saiyad before the latter could see him.
Ibn Saiyad was lying in his bed, covered with a velvet sheet from
where his murmurs were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the Prophet
while he was hiding himself behind the trunks of the date-palms. She
addressed Ibn Saiyad, "O Saf!" (And this was his name). Ibn Saiyad
got up. The Prophet said, "Had this woman let him to himself, he
would have revealed the reality of his case." Then the Prophet got
up amongst the people, glorifying Allah as He deserves, he mentioned
Ad-Dajjal, saying, "I warn you about him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) and there
is no prophet who did not warn his nation about him, and Noah warned
his nation about him, but I tell you a statement which no prophet
informed his nation of. You should understand that he is a one-eyed

Narrated Aslam:
Umar bin Al-Khattab appointed a freed slave
of his, called Hunai, manager of the Hima (i.e. a pasture devoted
for grazing the animals of the Zakat or other specified animals). He
said to him, "O Hunai! Don't oppress the Muslims and ward off their
curse (invocations against you) for the invocation of the oppressed
is responded to (by Allah); and allow the shepherd having a few
camels and those having a few sheep (to graze their animals), and
take care not to allow the livestock of 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and
the livestock of ('Uthman) bin 'Affan, for if their livestock should
perish, then they have their farms and gardens, while those who own
a few camels and those who own a few sheep, if their livestock
should perish, would bring their dependents to me and appeal for
help saying, 'O chief of the believers! O chief of the believers!'
Would I then neglect them? (No, of course). So, I find it easier to
let them have water and grass rather than to give them gold and
silver (from the Muslims' treasury). By Allah, these people think
that I have been unjust to them. This is their land, and during the
pre-lslamic period, they fought for it and they embraced Islam
(willingly) while it was in their possession. By Him in Whose Hand
my life is! Were it not for the animals (in my custody) which I give

hundred in number?" No doubt, we witnessed ourselves being afflicted
with such bad trials that one would have to offer the prayer alone
in fear.

Somebody said, "O Allah's Apostle! The man whom you described as
being from the people of the (Hell) Fire fought violently today and
died." The Prophet said, "He will go to the (Hell) Fire." Some
people were on the point of doubting (the truth of what the Prophet
had said) while they were in this state, suddenly someone said that
he was still alive but severely wounded. When night fell, he lost
patience and committed suicide. The Prophet was informed of that,
and he said, "Allah is Greater! I testify that I am Allah's Slave

(out of piety) used to cut wood during the day and pray all the
night. So, those people took the (seventy) men till they reached a

Lihyan for one month in the prayer.

(with Allah's Permission). On that the Prophet said, 'Some of these
animals behave like wild beasts, so, if any animal flee from you,
deal with it in the same way." My grandfather asked (the Prophet ),
"We hope (or are afraid) that we may meet the enemy tomorrow and we
have no knives. Can we slaughter our animals with canes?" Allah's
Apostle replied, "If the instrument used for killing causes the
animal to bleed profusely and if Allah's Name is mentioned on
killing it, then eat its meat (i.e. it is lawful) but won't use a
tooth or a nail and I am telling you the reason: A tooth is a bone

and it used to be called Ka'bat-ul Yamaniya. So I proceeded with one
hundred-and-fifty (men) from the tribe of Ahmas who were good
cavalry. I informed the Prophet that I could not sit firm on horses,
so he stroke me on the chest with his hand and I noticed his finger
marks on my chest. He invoked, 'O Allah! Make him firm and a guiding
and rightly-guided man." Jarir set out towards that place,
dismantled and burnt it, and then sent the good news to Allah's
Apostle . The messenger of Jarir said to Allah's Apostle. "O Allah's
Apostle! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I did not come to
you till it (i.e. the house) had been turned (black) like a scabby
camel (covered with tar)." So the Prophet invokes Allah to Bless the

Az-Zubair saying, 'Proceed to such-and-such Ar-Roudah (place) where
you will find a lady whom Hatib has given a letter. So when we
arrived at Ar-Roudah, we requested the lady to hand over the letter
to us. She said, 'Hatib has not given me any letter.' We said to
her. 'Take out the letter or else we will strip off your clothes.'
So she took it out of her braid. So the Prophet sent for Hatib, (who
came) and said, 'Don't hurry in judging me, for, by Allah, I have
not become a disbeliever, and my love to Islam is increasing. (The
reason for writing this letter was) that there is none of your
companions but has relatives in Mecca who look after their families
and property, while I have nobody there, so I wanted to do them some
favor (so that they might look after my family and property).' The
Prophet believed him. 'Umar said, 'Allow me to chop off his (i.e.
Hatib's) neck as he has done hypocrisy.' The Prophet said, (to
'Umar), 'Who knows, perhaps Allah has looked at the warriors of Badr
and said (to them), 'Do whatever you like, for I have forgiven you.'
