Hadith of al-Nu'man ibn Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ (١)، ٢٣٧٤٤ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَبَهْزٌ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، قَالَ بَهْزٌ: قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ: أَنَّ عُمَرَ، اسْتَعْمَلَ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ مُقَرِّنٍ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ:، يَعْنِي النُّعْمَانَ، وَلَكِنِّي " شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَ إِذَا لَمْ يُقَاتِلْ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ، أَخَّرَ الْقِتَالَ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ، وَتَهُبَّ الرِّيَاحُ، وَيَنْزِلَ النَّصْرُ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) that Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him) as an official... Then he mentioned the complete hadith. Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I participated in battles along with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). If the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) did not fight in the early part of the day, he would delay it until the sun had declined, the winds began to blow, and divine help descended.

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الْوَالِبِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَسَبَّ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا عِنْدَهُ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَسْبُوبُ يَقُولُ: عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَمَا إِنَّ مَلَكًا بَيْنَكُمَا يَذُبُّ عَنْكَ كُلَّمَا يَشْتُمُكَ هَذَا، قَالَ لَهُ: بَلْ أَنْتَ وَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ، وَإِذَا قَالَ لَهُ: عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ، قَالَ: لَا بَلْ لَكَ أَنْتَ، أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Nu’man bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the presence of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), a man spoke harshly to another. The other man kept replying, "Alaikas salam." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There is an angel present between you two. Whenever this person says something bad to you, the angel defends you and replies to him, 'You are like that, and you are more deserving of it.'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ شَدَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ، قَالَ: قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَرْبَعِ مِائَةٍ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ، فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَمْرِهِ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ نَتَزَوَّدُهُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعُمَرَ: " زَوِّدْهُمْ " فَقَالَ: مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا فَاضِلَةٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ، وَمَا أُرَاهَا تُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ: " انْطَلِقْ فَزَوِّدْهُمْ " فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَا إِلَى عُلِّيَّةٍ لَهُ، فَإِذَا فِيهَا تَمْرٌ مِثْلُ الْبَكْرِ الْأَوْرَقِ فَقَالَ: خُذُوا فَأَخَذَ الْقَوْمُ حَاجَتَهُمْ، قَالَ: وَكُنْتُ أَنَا فِي آخِرِ الْقَوْمِ، قَالَ: فَالْتَفَتُّ وَمَا أَفْقِدُ مَوْضِعَ تَمْرَةٍ وَقَدْ احْتَمَلَ مِنْهُ أَرْبَعُ مِائَةِ رَجُلٍ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Nu'man bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him) that once four hundred people from Muzainah came to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) gave us all the instructions he intended to give. Then some people said, "O Messenger of Allah! We have nothing to eat that we can use as provisions for the journey." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "Give them provisions for the journey." He replied, "I have only a few leftover dates, and I do not think they will suffice for them." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Go and give them those." So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took us towards an upper room of his, where there were some dates lying like a gray camel. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Take them." So everyone began to take dates according to their need. I was the last of all. I saw that not even the place of a single date was empty, even though four hundred men had taken dates from there.
