After the prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) mounted his ride and Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) mounted his ride, and I sat behind Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (ﷺ) began to move through the streets of Khaybar. Sometimes my knee would touch the blessed thigh of the Prophet (ﷺ), and sometimes the lower garment of the Prophet (ﷺ) would slip a little from his blessed thigh, and I could see the whiteness of his body. In short, when the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the city, he said "Allahu Akbar" and proclaimed, "Khaybar is destroyed! When we descend into the courtyard of a people, the morning of those who have been warned is the worst." He repeated these words three times. At that time, the people had gone out to work. They began to say, "Muhammad and his army have come." Then we conquered Khaybar by the sword and began to gather the captives. Meanwhile, Dihya (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said, "O Prophet of Allah! Grant me a slave woman from among the captives." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and take a slave woman." So he took Safiyyah bint Huyayy. Seeing this, a man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! You have given the chief lady of Banu Qurayza and Banu Nadir, Safiyyah, to Dihya. By Allah! She is only suitable for you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Call Dihya with Safiyyah." So they brought them. The Prophet (ﷺ) looked at Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said to Dihya (may Allah be pleased with him), "Take another slave woman from among the captives." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) set her free and married her. The narrator asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Hamza! How much did the Prophet (ﷺ) give her as mahr (dowry)?" He replied, "The Prophet (ﷺ) set her free and made her freedom her mahr, and married her." On the way, Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) prepared Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) as a bride and presented her to the Prophet (ﷺ) at night. The Prophet (ﷺ) spent the morning as a groom. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever has anything, let him bring it to us," and a dining cloth was spread. Someone brought cheese, someone brought dates, and someone brought ghee. The people made halwa from it. This was the wedding feast (walima) of the Prophet (ﷺ).

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the night when the Prophet (ﷺ) stayed at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, the next morning I invited the Muslims to a wedding feast (walima) on behalf of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) fed the Muslims plenty of bread and meat, then as usual he returned and went to the houses of the pure wives and greeted them, and they prayed for the Prophet (ﷺ). When he reached home, he saw that two men were engaged in conversation in a corner of the house. The Prophet (ﷺ), seeing them, turned back and left. When those two saw the Prophet (ﷺ) turning back from his house, they quickly stood up and left. Now I do not remember whether I informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of their departure or someone else did. In any case, the Prophet (ﷺ) returned home and hung a curtain between me and himself, and the verse of hijab was revealed.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abu Talha's (may Allah be pleased with him) son was ill. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) went out to the mosque, and in his absence, his son passed away. His wife, Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her), covered him with a cloth and told the household not to inform Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) of his son's death. When Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) returned, some of his friends from the mosque came with him. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) inquired about the child, and they replied that he was better than before. Then dinner was brought before them, and everyone ate. After the guests left, she busied herself with the tasks women usually do. When the last part of the night arrived, she said to Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Talha! Consider this: some people borrowed something for a while and benefited from it, but when it was demanded back, they showed displeasure." Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "They are not being fair." Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Then your son was also a trust from Allah, which Allah has taken back." Upon this, he said «انا لله وانا اليه راجعون» and thanked Allah. In the morning, they went to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ), seeing them, said, "May Allah bless you both in this night." Thus, she became pregnant. When the child was born, it was nighttime. She did not consider it appropriate to give the child tahneek at that time and wished that the Prophet (ﷺ) himself would do it. So in the morning, I took the child along with some Ajwa dates to the Prophet (ﷺ). I saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) was applying tar to his camels. I said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Last night, a child was born to Umm Sulaim. She did not consider it appropriate to give him tahneek herself and wished that you would do it." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you have anything?" I said, "I have Ajwa dates." The Prophet (ﷺ) took a date, chewed it, softened it, collected his saliva, and put it in the child's mouth, which he began to suck. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Dates are beloved to the Ansar." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Name him." He said, "His name is Abdullah."

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people from the tribe of 'Uraina became Muslim, but the climate of Madinah did not suit them. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to them, "If you go to our camels and drink their milk, perhaps you will recover." So they did so, but when they became healthy, they reverted to disbelief and apostasy. They killed the Muslim shepherd of the Prophet (ﷺ) and drove away the camels of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) sent companions after them, they were captured and brought before the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered their hands and feet to be cut off from opposite sides, their eyes to be branded with heated irons, and they were left in rocky areas until they died.

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Do not ask me about anything that will happen until the Day of Judgment unless I myself tell you about it.

His mother said to him, "What was your purpose in asking this?" He replied, "I wanted to be free from what people were saying." In fact, there were some rumors about him. Anyway, upon his question, the Prophet (ﷺ) became angry. At this, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We are pleased and content with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad (ﷺ) as our Prophet, and we seek refuge with Allah from the anger of Allah and His Messenger."

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: This does not refer to the dislike of death, rather, when a believer is given glad tidings of a good end by an angel from Allah, then nothing becomes more beloved to him than meeting Allah, so Allah also likes to meet him. And when a disbeliever is given news of a bad end by an angel from Allah, he dislikes to meet Allah, so Allah also dislikes to meet him.

And he himself says that my eldest daughter Amina told me that until the coming of Hajjaj bin Yusuf, more than one hundred and twenty people from my descendants had died and been buried.

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) in Madinah Munawwarah, Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the presence of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I will ask you three things which no one knows except a Prophet." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ask." He said, "What is the very first sign of the Day of Judgment? What will be the very first food of the people of Paradise? And how does a child resemble its parents?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Just now, Jibreel Amin (peace be upon him) has informed me of their answers." Abdullah said, "He is the enemy of the Jews among the angels." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The very first sign of the Day of Judgment will be a fire that will emerge from the East and gather all the people in the West. The very first food of the people of Paradise will be the liver of fish. As for the resemblance of a child to its parents, if the man's 'fluid' prevails over the woman's fluid, the child is drawn towards him, and if the woman's fluid prevails over the man's, the child is drawn towards her." Upon hearing this, Abdullah said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The Jews are a people who fabricate slanders. If they find out about my acceptance of Islam, they will accuse me of all sorts of things in your presence. Therefore, send for them and ask them about me: 'What kind of man is Ibn Salam among you?'" Accordingly, the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for them and asked, "What kind of man is Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They replied, "He is the best among us and the son of the best, our scholar and the son of a scholar, the greatest jurist among us and the son of the greatest jurist." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell me, if he accepts Islam, will you also accept Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." At this, Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came out and recited the testimony of faith in front of them. Upon hearing this, they said, "He is the worst among us and the son of the worst, the most ignorant among us and the son of the most ignorant." Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "This is what I was afraid of."

Upon hearing this, a man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! This is a day in which people generally desire meat."

The people were standing in anticipation of "war booty," so they divided it among themselves.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, all the Muslims will gather together. This thought will be put into their hearts and they will say: If we take someone to intercede before our Lord, perhaps He will grant us relief from this place. So they will go to Adam (peace be upon him) and say: O Adam! You are the father of mankind, Allah created you with His own hand, made the angels prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things. Therefore, intercede for us with our Lord so that He may deliver us from this place. Adam (peace be upon him) will reply: I am not worthy of this, and he will remember his mistake and feel shy before his Lord and say: Go to Nuh (peace be upon him), for he was the first Messenger whom Allah sent to the people of the earth. So all the people will go to Nuh (peace be upon him) and say to him: Intercede for us with your Lord. He will reply: The matter you seek is not with me. Go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), for Allah made him His close friend (Khalil). So all the people will go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and he will also say: The matter you seek is not with me, but go to Musa (peace be upon him), for Allah spoke to him directly and gave him the Torah. Musa (peace be upon him) will also excuse himself, saying: I killed a person unjustly, but go to Isa (peace be upon him), who was Allah’s servant, His Messenger, His word, and a spirit from Him. But Isa (peace be upon him) will also excuse himself and say: Go to Muhammad (ﷺ), he will intercede for you, whose past and future shortcomings Allah has forgiven. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: I will seek permission to present myself before my Lord, which will be granted to me. When I see my Lord, I will fall into prostration before Him. Allah will let me remain in prostration as long as He wills. Then it will be said to me: O Muhammad (ﷺ)! Raise your head, whatever you say will be heard, whatever you ask will be granted, and whoever you intercede for, your intercession will be accepted. So I will raise my head and praise Allah with such praises as He will teach me. Then I will intercede, and Allah will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise and return again. This will happen three times. On the fourth time, I will say: O Lord! Only those remain whom the Qur’an has kept back. So every person will be taken out of Hell who says "La ilaha illallah" and in whose heart there is even the weight of a barley grain of goodness. Then every person will be taken out of Hell who says "La ilaha illallah" and in whose heart there is even the weight of a wheat grain of goodness. And every person will be taken out of Hell who says "La ilaha illallah" and in whose heart there is even the weight of a mustard seed of goodness.

Did they not understand?"

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَقَدْ أُوذِيتُ فِي اللهِ، وَمَا يُؤْذَى أَحَدٌ، وَأُخِفْتُ فِي اللهِ، وَمَا يُخَافُ أَحَدٌ، وَلَقَدْ أَتَتْ عَلَيَّ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ، وَمَا لِي وَبِلَالٍ (١) طَعَامٌ يَأْكُلُهُ ذُو كَبِدٍ، إِلَّا مَا يُوَارِي إِبِطُ بِلَالٍ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No one has been harmed in the way of Allah as much as I have been harmed, and no one has been frightened in the way of Allah as much as I have been frightened. There came a time upon me when three days and three nights passed and I did not have enough food for myself or my family that any living being with a liver could eat, except for what Bilal had under his arm."

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَعْجَبُوا بِأَحَدٍ، حَتَّى تَنْظُرُوا بِمَ يُخْتَمُ لَهُ، فَإِنَّ الْعَامِلَ يَعْمَلُ زَمَانًا مِنْ عُمْرِهِ، أَوْ بُرْهَةً مِنْ دَهْرِهِ، بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، لَوْ مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ فَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا سَيِّئًا، وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَعْمَلُ الْبُرْهَةَ مِنْ دَهْرِهِ بِعَمَلٍ سَيِّئٍ، لَوْ مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ دَخَلَ النَّارَ، ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ فَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا اسْتَعْمَلَهُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ "، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ يَسْتَعْمِلُهُ؟ قَالَ " يُوَفِّقُهُ لِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ، ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُهُ عَلَيْهِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not be amazed at anyone until you see what his end is like, because sometimes a person spends his whole life or a long period in good deeds, so that if he were to die in that state, he would enter Paradise. But then a change occurs in him and he becomes involved in sins. Similarly, a man remains involved in such sins for a long time that if he were to die in that state, he would enter Hell, but then a change occurs in him and he becomes engaged in good deeds. And when Allah Almighty intends good for a servant, He uses him before his death. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: How does He use him? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He grants him the ability to do righteous deeds before he dies, then He takes his soul."

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَكْتُبُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدْ كَانَ قَرَأَ: الْبَقَرَةَ، وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ، وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا قَرَأَ: الْبَقَرَةَ، وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ، جَدَّ فِينَا - يَعْنِي عَظُمَ -، فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يُمْلِي عَلَيْهِ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا، فَيَكْتُبُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اكْتُبْ كَذَا وَكَذَا، اكْتُبْ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ " وَيُمْلِي عَلَيْهِ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا، فَيَقُولُ: أَكْتُبُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا؟ فَيَقُولُ: " اكْتُبْ (١) كَيْفَ شِئْتَ ". فَارْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَلَحِقَ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَقَالَ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُكُمْ بِمُحَمَّدٍ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَكْتُبُ كَيْفَمَا (٢) شِئْتُ، فَمَاتَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لَمْ تَقْبَلْهُ " وقَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: " أَنَّهُ أَتَى الْأَرْضَ الَّتِي مَاتَ فِيهَا ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ، فَوَجَدَهُ مَنْبُوذًا، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: مَا شَأْنُ هَذَا، ، الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالُوا: قَدْ دَفَنَّاهُ مِرَارًا فَلَمْ تَقْبَلْهُ الْأَرْضُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a man who was the scribe of the Prophet (ﷺ). He had also read Surah Al-Baqarah and Aal-e-Imran. Whenever that man recited Surah Al-Baqarah and Aal-e-Imran, he would surpass us greatly. The Prophet (ﷺ) would dictate to him « غفوراً الرحيما» and he would write "Aleema Hakeema" in its place. The Prophet (ﷺ) would say, "Write it like this," but he would say, "I will write as I wish." Similarly, when the Prophet (ﷺ) would dictate to him «عليما حكيما», he would write «سميعا بصيرا» in its place and say, "I will write as I wish." After some time, that man became an apostate and joined the polytheists, and began to say, "Among all of you, I am more knowledgeable than Muhammad (ﷺ). I used to write whatever I wanted in his presence." When that man died, the Prophet (ﷺ) said that the earth would not accept him. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that he went to the place where that man had died, and found him lying outside. He asked the people, "What is the matter with this man?" The people told him, "We have buried him several times, but the earth does not accept him."

The time for the Fajr prayer is between these two times.

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Once, when I was a child playing with other children, suddenly a man came and he grabbed me and split open my stomach. He took out a clot of congealed blood from it and threw it away, saying, "This was the portion of Satan in your body." Then he washed my stomach with Zamzam water from a golden basin, then sewed it up and stitched it. Seeing this, all the children ran to my mother and said, "Muhammad (ﷺ) has been killed." My mother came running and saw that the color of the blessed face of the Prophet (ﷺ) was changing. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that we used to see the marks of the stitching on the blessed chest of the Prophet (ﷺ).

Umm al-Mu'mineen Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Can this also happen?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Yes! The fluid of a man is thick and white, and the fluid of a woman is thin. Whichever of the two prevails, the child resembles that one.

Waqid bin Amr bin Sa'd, may Allah have mercy on him (who was a very handsome and well-built man), says that once I went to the house of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him. He asked me, "Who are you?" I told him that my name is Waqid and I am the grandson of Sa'd bin Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him. He said, "You greatly resemble Sa'd," then he was overcome with weeping and cried for a long time. Then he said, "May Allah's mercy descend upon Sa'd; he was a great and tall man among the people." Then he said that once the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent an army towards Akid Roomah. He (Akid Roomah) sent to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, a silk cloak "which was embroidered with gold." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wore it and ascended the pulpit, stood or sat, but did not say anything. After a short while, he descended, and people began to touch and look at the cloak. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Are you amazed at this?" The people said, "We have never seen a garment better than this before." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "What you are seeing, in Paradise, the handkerchiefs of Sa'd bin Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, are far better than this."

After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a group and began to give each man among them a portion. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) was also among them, and the Prophet (ﷺ) gave him a portion as well. Then, after some time, he returned to him and gave him another portion.

If he is a believer, he says: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (ﷺ) is His servant and Messenger." Upon hearing this, the angel says: "You have spoken the truth." Then a door to Hell is opened for him and it is said to him: "If you had disbelieved in your Lord, this would have been your abode. But since you believed, your abode is elsewhere." Then a door to Paradise is opened for him. When he tries to get up and enter Paradise, the angel tells him to remain at ease, and his grave is made spacious for him. And if he is a disbeliever or a hypocrite, when the angel asks him: "What do you say about this man?" he replies: "I do not know anything; I only heard people saying something." The angel says to him: "You neither understood nor recited nor were you guided." Then a door to Paradise is opened for him and the angel says: "If you had believed in your Lord, this would have been your abode. But since you disbelieved, Allah has changed your abode from here," and a door to Hell is opened for him. Then the angel strikes him with his mace so forcefully that all of Allah's creation except jinn and mankind hear its sound. Some narrators also say that his grave is made so narrow that his ribs interlock with each other.

(١)، ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: " كَانَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ لَا يَمْدَحُ أَوْ يُثْنِي عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ، إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ جَوْدَتِهِ "،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that among the Jews, when a woman was menstruating, they would neither eat nor drink with her, nor would they stay together in the same house. The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about this, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "They ask you about menstruating women. Say: It is a harm, so keep away from women during menstruation and do not approach them until they are purified." After reciting this verse in full, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You may do everything except intercourse." When the Jews learned of this, they said: "This man opposes us in every matter." Then Usayd bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abbad bin Bishr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The Jews are saying such and such things, should we not even go near our wives? (So that we may completely oppose the Jews.)" Upon hearing this, the color of the blessed face of the Prophet (ﷺ) changed, and we understood that the Prophet (ﷺ) was displeased with them. Both of them also left from there, but shortly after, a gift of milk arrived for the Prophet (ﷺ), so the Prophet (ﷺ) called both of them and gave it to them to drink. In this way, they understood that the Prophet (ﷺ) was not displeased with them. Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Hammad bin Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) would not praise the chain of narration of any hadith among his ahadith, but due to the excellence of the chain of this hadith, he praised it greatly.

At that moment, this verse was revealed to the Prophet (ﷺ): "Indeed, We have given you a clear victory... a straight path." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Two verses have been revealed to me which are more beloved to me than the whole world." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited them. Upon hearing this, a Muslim said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Congratulations to you, for Allah has granted you this bounty. What is there for us?"

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to be pleased with good dreams and would sometimes ask, "Has any of you seen a dream?" If someone had seen a dream, he would ask the Prophet (ﷺ) for its interpretation. If there was nothing distressing in it, the Prophet (ﷺ) would also be pleased with that. In this context, a woman came and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I saw in a dream as if I entered Paradise. There I heard a voice that made Paradise tremble. Suddenly, I saw that so-and-so son of so-and-so and so-and-so son of so-and-so were being brought in." While saying this, she counted the names of twelve men whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had previously sent on an expedition. The woman stated that when they were brought there, the clothes on their bodies had turned black and their veins were swollen. Someone said to them, "Take these people to the river Sadkh or the river Bidakh." So they were immersed in it, and when they came out, their faces were shining like the full moon of the fourteenth night. Then golden chairs were brought, and they sat on them. Then a tray was brought in which there were fresh dates. They began to eat those dates, and whenever they turned a date over, they would find fruit to eat as they wished, and I also kept eating with them. After some time, a man from that army came with the good news of victory and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Such and such happened with us, and so-and-so and so-and-so were martyred." While saying this, he counted the same twelve men whose names the woman had mentioned. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Call that woman to me again." When she came, the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "Describe your dream in front of this man." She described it, and he said, "It happened exactly as she has described to the Prophet (ﷺ)."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) sent a marriage proposal for Julaibib (may Allah be pleased with him) to the father of an Ansari woman. He said, "Let me first consult the girl's mother." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Very well." That man went to his wife and mentioned the matter to her. She immediately refused, saying, "By God! Never! Did the Prophet (ﷺ) not find anyone other than Julaibib? We have already refused such and such proposals." Meanwhile, the girl was listening from behind her veil. After mutual consultation, when the man was about to go and inform the Prophet (ﷺ), the girl said, "Will you reject the word of the Prophet (ﷺ)? If the Prophet (ﷺ) is pleased with this, then you should arrange the marriage." By saying this, she opened her parents' eyes, and they said, "You are right." Thus, her father went to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "If you are pleased with this proposal, then we are also pleased." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am pleased." Thus, the Prophet (ﷺ) married the girl to Julaibib. After a short time, there was an attack on the people of Madinah. Julaibib also went out mounted. After the battle, people saw that he had been martyred, and around him were several bodies of polytheists whom he had killed single-handedly. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I have seen that girl; she was the lady of the most generous household in Madinah."

Maintain ties with your close relatives. Give the needy, neighbors, and the poor their due rights, and do not be extravagant." He said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Is this sufficient for me?

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Baseesah (may Allah be pleased with her) as a spy to bring news of Abu Sufyan’s army. When she returned, there was no one in the house except me and the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) went outside and spoke to the people about this matter and said: “We are setting out in search of the caravan; whoever has a mount should go with us.” Some people asked for permission to go to the upper part of Madinah to bring their mounts, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “No, whoever has a mount should go (we will not wait).” Thus, the Prophet (ﷺ) set out with his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and reached the wells of Badr before the polytheists. Upon arrival, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “None of you should advance towards anything without my permission.” When the polytheists drew near, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Rush towards the Paradise whose width is equal to the heavens and the earth.” Hearing this, Umair bin Humaam Ansari said: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Is Paradise’s width equal to the heavens and the earth?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Yes!” Upon this, he said: “Wonderful! Wonderful!” The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: “What makes you say ‘Wonderful! Wonderful!’?” He replied: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! By Allah, it is only in the hope that I may become one of its people.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “You are among the people of Paradise.” Then Umair took out some dates from his quiver and began to eat them. Suddenly, he thought to himself: “If I remain alive until I finish eating these dates, that would be a long life.” So he threw the dates aside, plunged into the battlefield, and fought so much that he was finally martyred.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: "O you who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet," Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him)—whose voice was naturally loud—said, "My voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." Thinking this, he sat at home in grief. One day, the Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired about his absence, so some people went to him and said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) was asking about your absence. What is the matter?" He replied, "I am the one whose voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and when I speak, I speak loudly. Therefore, all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." The people conveyed this to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "No, rather he is of the people of Paradise." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that he used to walk among us and we were certain that he was of the people of Paradise. On the day of the Battle of Yamama, some disorder occurred in our ranks, so Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) came; at that time, he had applied perfume to his body and was wearing a shroud, and he said, "You have returned badly to your companions." Saying this, he advanced so far while fighting that he was eventually martyred.

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ، وَعَفَّانُ، الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَكَتَبَ كِتَابًا بَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ، فَقَالَ: اشْهَدُوا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْقُرَّاءِ، قَالَ ثَابِتٌ: فَكَأَنِّي كَرِهْتُ ذَلِكَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ: لَوْ سَمَّيْتَهُمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ قَالَ: وَمَا بَأْسُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ، ، أَقُولَ (١) لَكُمْ قُرَّاءٌ، أَفَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ إِخْوَانِكُمُ الَّذِينَ كُنَّا نُسَمِّيهِمْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقُرَّاءَ، فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا سَبْعِينَ، فَكَانُوا إِذَا جَنَّهُمُ اللَّيْلُ، انْطَلَقُوا إِلَى مُعَلِّمٍ لَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَيَدْرُسُونَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحُوا (٢) ، فَإِذَا أَصْبَحُوا فَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ قُوَّةٌ اسْتَعْذَبَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، وَأَصَابَ مِنَ الْحَطَبِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ سَعَةٌ اجْتَمَعُوا، فَاشْتَرَوْا الشَّاةَ، فَأَصْلَحُوهَا فَيُصْبِحُ ذَلِكَ مُعَلَّقًا بِحُجَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا أُصِيبَ خُبَيْبٌ، بَعَثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَوْا عَلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ، وَفِيهِمْ خَالِي حَرَامٌ، فَقَالَ حِرَامٌ لِأَمِيرِهِمْ: دَعْنِي فَلْأُخْبِرْ هَؤُلَاءِ أَنَّا لَسْنَا إِيَّاهُمْ نُرِيدُ، حَتَّى يُخَلُّوا وَجْهَنَا، - وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: فَيُخَلُّونَ وَجْهَنَا -، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ حَرَامٌ: إِنَّا لَسْنَا إِيَّاكُمْ نُرِيدُ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ رَجُلٌ بِالرُّمْحِ، فَأَنْفَذَهُ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا وَجَدَ الرُّمْحَ فِي جَوْفِهِ قَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ. قَالَ: فَانْطَوَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ فَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ، فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ: " فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَدَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَطُّ، وَجْدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلَّمَا صَلَّى (٣) الْغَدَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ (٤) فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ "، فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَقُولُ لِي: هَلْ، ، لَكَ فِي قَاتِلِ حَرَامٍ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: مَا لَهُ فَعَلَ اللهُ بِهِ وَفَعَلَ قَالَ: مَهْلًا، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَسْلَمَ، وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: رَفَعَ يَدَهُ (١) يَدْعُو عَلَيْهِمْ، وقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ: رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ (٢) (٣)،

Thabit says that once we were sitting with Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he wrote a letter to his family and said, "O group of reciters! Bear witness to this." I did not like this, so I said, "O Abu Hamza! Would it not be better if you mentioned their names?" He replied, "If I have called you reciters, there is no harm in it. Shall I not tell you about those brothers of mine whom we used to call reciters in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace be upon him)? They were seventy individuals, who, when night fell, would go to their teacher in Madinah Munawwarah and spend the whole night reciting. In the morning, those who had the strength would drink sweet water and go to cut wood. Those who could not afford it would gather together, buy a goat, slaughter and clean it, and in the morning hang it near the chambers of the Prophet (peace be upon him). When Khubaib (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent them. They reached a tribe of Banu Sulaim, among them was my maternal uncle 'Haram.' He said to their leader, 'Allow me to go and tell them that we do not wish to harm them, so that they may let us pass.' With permission, he conveyed this message to them. While he was delivering this message, a man came from the front with a spear and pierced him through. When the spear was thrust into his stomach, he fell saying, 'Allahu Akbar, by the Lord of the Ka'bah! I have succeeded.' Then they were attacked, and not a single man among them survived. I have never seen the Prophet (peace be upon him) as grieved over any incident as he was over this one, and I saw that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would raise his hands in the Fajr prayer and supplicate against them. Some time later, Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, 'Shall I tell you the whereabouts of the killer of Haram?' I said, 'Certainly, tell me, may Allah do such and such to him.' He said, 'Wait, for he has become a Muslim.'"

The staff of one of the men became illuminated, and they began to walk in its light. When they parted ways, the other man's staff also became illuminated, and each man walked to his home in the light of his own staff.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) went to Sa’d bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) and, after seeking permission, said, “Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.” Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) replied in a low voice—so low that it did not reach the ears of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) greeted three times, and each time Sa’d replied in such a way that the Prophet (ﷺ) could not hear. Consequently, the Prophet (ﷺ) turned back. Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) ran after him and said, “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! May my parents be sacrificed for you. Every time you greeted, I heard it with my own ears and replied, but I did not let you hear (I kept my voice low). I wanted to gain as much of your prayer for peace and blessings as possible.” Then he took the Prophet (ﷺ) into his house and presented raisins. After the Prophet (ﷺ) ate them, he said, “May righteous people continue to eat your food, may the angels of mercy continue to pray for you, and may those who fast break their fast with you.”

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) had conquered Khaybar, Hajjaj bin Ghalat (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I have some wealth and family in Makkah Mukarramah. I intend to go to them (so that I may bring them here). Do I have your permission to spread any word on your behalf?" The Prophet (ﷺ) gave him permission to say whatever he wished. So he reached Makkah Mukarramah and went to his wife and said to her, "Gather together whatever you have and give it to me. I want to buy the spoils of Muhammad (ﷺ) and his companions, for they have been thoroughly massacred and all their wealth and property has been plundered." This news spread throughout Makkah, the Muslims were devastated, and the polytheists began to celebrate with great joy. Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) also heard this news, so he fell down and did not have the strength to stand. Then he called one of his sons, "Qutham," and, lying on his back, seated him on his chest and began to recite this verse: "My dear son Qutham resembles the one with the fragrant nose, who is the son of those raised in luxury and comfort, even if someone's nose is covered in dust." Then he sent a servant to Hajjaj bin Ghalat (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Alas! What kind of news have you brought and what are you saying? What Allah has promised is much better than the news you have brought." Hajjaj said to the servant, "Convey my greetings to Abu al-Fadl (Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him) and tell him to provide me with an opportunity for privacy in one of his houses so that I may come to him, for the news is such that he will be pleased." When the servant returned and reached the door of the house, he said, "O Abu al-Fadl! Rejoice!" Hearing this, Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) jumped up with joy and kissed him between his eyes. The servant told him what Hajjaj had said, so he set him free. After a short while, Hajjaj came to him and informed him that the Prophet (ﷺ) had conquered Khaybar, had taken the spoils, Allah's prescribed share had been distributed among them, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had chosen Safiyyah bint Huyayy for himself and had given her the choice that the Prophet (ﷺ) would set her free and she would become his wife, or she could return to her family. She preferred that the Prophet (ﷺ) set her free and she become his wife. But I had come here because of my wealth "which was here" so that I could gather it and take it away. I had sought permission from the Prophet (ﷺ), and he had given me permission to say whatever I wished. Now you should keep this news hidden for three days, after which, if you deem it appropriate, you may mention it. After that, whatever jewelry and belongings his wife had and whatever she had gathered, she handed it all over to him, and he set off with it. After three days had passed, Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Hajjaj's wife and asked her, "What became of your husband?" She replied, "He left on such-and-such a day," and said, "O Abu al-Fadl! May Allah never disgrace you. Your distress was also very hard on us." He said, "Yes! May Allah never disgrace me, and all praise is due to Allah! What we wanted has happened. Allah has granted victory over Khaybar at the hands of His Prophet, the spoils have been distributed, and the Prophet (ﷺ) has chosen Safiyyah bint Huyayy for himself. Now, if you need your husband, go to him." She said, "By Allah! I consider you truthful." He said, "Whatever I have told you is all true." Then Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) left there and passed by the gatherings of the Quraysh. They said, "Abu al-Fadl! You always receive good." He said, "All praise is due to Allah! I have received good. Hajjaj bin Ghalat informed me that Allah has granted victory over Khaybar at the hands of His Prophet, the spoils have been distributed, the Prophet (ﷺ) has chosen Safiyyah for himself, and Hajjaj had requested me to keep this news hidden for three days. He had only come here to take his wealth and belongings, then he left. Thus, the grief that was upon the Muslims, Allah turned it upon the polytheists, and the Muslims and all those who had become sorrowful in their homes came out of their homes...

He replied, "Once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led the Zuhr prayer and then went and sat at the place where Jibreel (peace be upon him) used to come to him. Then Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came and gave the adhan for Asr. Every person who had a house in Madinah Munawwarah got up and went for relieving himself and for ablution. Some Muhajireen remained who had no house in Madinah. A large vessel of water was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his palms in it, but the vessel was not spacious enough, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed only four fingers in it and said, 'Come close and perform ablution from it.' At that time, the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in the vessel. So all of them performed ablution from it, and there was not a single person left who did not perform ablution." I asked, "O Abu Hamzah! In your opinion, how many people were there?" He replied, "Between seventy and eighty."

حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ هِلَالَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ قَذَفَ امْرَأَتَهُ بِشَرِيكِ ابْنِ سَحْمَاءَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " انْظُرُوهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ جَعْدًا أَكْحَلَ، حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ، فَهُوَ لِشَرِيكِ ابْنِ سَحْمَاءَ، وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَبْيَضَ سَبْطًا قَضِيءَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ، فَهُوَ لِهِلَالِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ". فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ جَعْدًا أَكْحَلَ حَمْشَ السَّاقَيْنِ (١)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hilal bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) accused his wife of committing adultery with Shareek bin Samha. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Take care of this woman. If she gives birth to a child with curly hair, black eyes, and thin shins, then the child will be that of Shareek bin Samha. But if she gives birth to a fair-skinned child with straight hair and deep-set eyes, then the child will be that of Hilal bin Umayyah. So, when the woman gave birth, the child had the first set of characteristics (i.e., those of Shareek bin Samha).

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: In times past, three men were traveling when it began to rain. The three of them took shelter in a cave on a mountain. A rock fell from above and blocked the entrance of the cave. They said to one another, "The rock has fallen, the traces of our footsteps have disappeared, and no one knows of our presence here except Allah. Therefore, let each person present before Allah a deed of truthfulness that he has done, and pray to Allah." One of them said, "O Allah! You know that my parents were very old, and I used to give them milk from my goats every evening. One day, I was delayed (in returning from the forest), and when I arrived, they had already fallen asleep. My wife and children were crying from hunger, but it was my habit that I would not give them (the milk) until my parents had drunk first. (So I was greatly perplexed.) I did not think it appropriate to wake them, nor did I think it good to leave them as they were, lest they become weak from not eating. So I stood waiting for them to wake up until morning. O Allah! If in Your knowledge this action of mine was done out of fear of You, then remove this calamity from us." The rock opened up about one third. The second person said, "O Allah! You know that a laborer worked for me for eight seers of rice as his wage, but after working, he left his wage and went away. I took that measure of rice and sowed it, and as a result, I bought cows and oxen from its yield. After some days, that man came to me asking for his wage. I said, 'Take these cows and oxen.' He said, 'I am owed only a measure of rice by you.' I replied, 'Take these cows and oxen; they have been obtained through those very grains of rice.' O Allah! If in Your knowledge I did this only out of fear of You, then remove this calamity from us." By the blessing of his prayer, the rock opened up about two thirds. The third person said, "O Allah! You know that there was a woman who was the most beloved to me. When she gave herself into my control, I immediately stood up and left her, and I left behind a hundred dinars. O Allah! If this action of mine was done only out of fear of You, then remove this calamity from us." So the rock moved away, and they came out and began to walk about.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that (since) we were forbidden in the Qur'an from asking the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) too many questions, we used to wish in our hearts that some intelligent Bedouin would come and ask the Prophet (ﷺ) about some issue and we would listen. So (once) a Bedouin came and (presented himself before the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and) said: "Your messenger came to us and said that you claim Allah has made you a Prophet?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He spoke the truth." The Bedouin said: "Who created the heavens, the earth, and the mountains?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Allah did." The Bedouin said: "I ask you by the One who created the heavens and the earth and established the mountains (tell me), has Allah really sent you as a Messenger?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Yes!" The Bedouin said: "Your messenger says that five prayers are obligatory upon us in the day and night." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He spoke the truth." The Bedouin said: "I ask you by Allah, the One who sent you as a Messenger (tell me), did Allah command you this?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Yes!" The Bedouin said: "Your messenger said that zakat is obligatory upon our wealth?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He spoke the truth." He said: "By the One who sent you, did He command you this?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Yes!" He said: "Your messenger also said that fasting for one month in the year is obligatory upon us?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He spoke the truth." The Bedouin said: "I ask you by Allah, the One who made you a Prophet (tell me), did Allah command you this?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Yes!" The Bedouin said: "Your messenger also said that Hajj to the Ka'bah is obligatory upon those among us who are able?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He spoke the truth!" Finally, as the Bedouin turned to leave, he said: "By Allah, the One who sent you with the truth, I will not add to this nor subtract from it at all." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If he is truthful, he will enter Paradise."

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: On the Day of Resurrection, my grave will be the first to be opened, and I do not boast about this. I will be given the Banner of Praise, and I do not boast about this. I will be the leader of all people on the Day of Resurrection, and I do not boast about this. I will reach the gate of Paradise and hold its ring; it will be asked from inside, "Who is it?" I will say, "Muhammad (ﷺ)." Then the door will be opened, and I will enter Paradise. Suddenly, I will come before my Lord, and as soon as I see Him, I will fall into prostration. Allah Almighty will say, "O Muhammad (ﷺ), raise your head, speak, you will be heard; ask, it will be granted; intercede, your intercession will be accepted." Then I will raise my head and say, "O my Lord! My Ummah, my Ummah." Allah Almighty will say, "Go to your Ummah, and whoever has faith in his heart equal to a grain of barley, admit him into Paradise." So I will do so, and whoever I find with that much faith in his heart, I will admit him into Paradise. The second time, with the same details, I will be commanded to admit into Paradise those who have faith equal to half a grain of barley, and I will do so. The third time, with the same details, I will be commanded to admit into Paradise those who have faith equal to a grain of mustard seed, and I will do so. Then Allah will finish the reckoning of the people, and the remainder of my Ummah will be entered into Hell with the people of Hell. The people of Hell will say to them, "You used to worship Allah and did not associate anyone with Him; what benefit did that bring you?" Upon this, Allah Almighty will say, "By My honor! I will surely free these people from Hell." So Allah will take them out of Hell; by then, they will have been burnt and turned into charcoal. Then they will be dipped into the River of Life, and they will sprout forth as seeds sprout on the banks of a flood. And it will be written between their eyes that these are the freed ones of Allah. When these people enter Paradise, the people of Paradise will say, "These are the people of Hell." But Allah will say, "No, rather these are the freed ones of the Lord."

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَمَرَ بِبِضْعَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ صَنَادِيدِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَأُلْقُوا فِي طَوِيٍّ مِنْ أَطْوَاءِ بَدْرٍ خَبِيثٍ مُخْبِثٍ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ إِذَا ظَهَرَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَقَامَ بِالْعَرْصَةِ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَ عَلَى أَهْلِ (٤) بَدْرٍ أَقَامَ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ (٥) الثَّالِثُ أَمَرَ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ، فَشُدَّتْ بِرَحْلِهَا، ثُمَّ مَشَى وَاتَّبَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ، قَالُوا: فَمَا نَرَاهُ يَنْطَلِقُ إِلَّا لِيَقْضِيَ، ، حَاجَتَهُ، قَالَ: حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى شَفَةِ الطَّوِيِّ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ يُنَادِيهِمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ: " يَا فُلَانُ بْنَ فُلَانٍ، أَسَرَّكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَطَعْتُمُ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ (١) رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا؟ " قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، مَا تُكَلِّمُ مِنْ أَجْسَادٍ لَا أَرْوَاحَ فِيهَا، قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ "، قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: " أَحْيَاهُمُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ حَتَّى سَمِعُوا قَوْلَهُ تَوْبِيخًا وَتَصْغِيرًا وَنَقِيمَةً " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that more than twenty chiefs of the Quraysh be dragged and thrown into a well at Badr along with all their filth, and so it was done. It was the practice of the Prophet (ﷺ) that after gaining victory over any people, he would stay there for three nights. After gaining victory over the people of Badr, the Prophet (ﷺ) also stayed there for three nights. On the third day, he (ﷺ) ordered that the mounts be prepared. When the mounts were ready, the Prophet (ﷺ) set out in one direction, and the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) followed him. We thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) was going to relieve himself, but the Prophet (ﷺ) stopped at the edge of that well and began to call out to them by their names and the names of their fathers, and said: "Do you now find it pleasing that you had obeyed Allah and His Messenger? Did you find true what your Lord had promised you?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Are you speaking to bodies in which there are no souls?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (ﷺ), you do not hear what I am saying to them more than they do." Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Allah granted them life again so that they could hear the words of the Prophet (ﷺ), and the purpose of this was rebuke, humiliation, and punishment.

Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did the Prophet (ﷺ) have white hair?" He replied, "When Allah called the Prophet (ﷺ) to Himself, He did not let him be embarrassed by the whiteness of his hair. On the day of his passing, there were not even thirty white hairs on his head and beard." Someone asked, "Is the whitening of hair a cause for embarrassment?" Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "You people consider it a cause for embarrassment; we used to consider it a cause of adornment."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: "O you who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet," Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), whose voice was naturally loud, said, "My voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." Thinking this, he sat at home in grief. One day, the Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired about his absence, so some people went to him and said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) was asking about your absence. What is the matter?" He said, "I am the one whose voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and I speak loudly while talking, so all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." The people came and mentioned this to the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "No, rather he is a person of Paradise."

Regarding the horse, he said, "We found it as swift as the sea," although previously that horse was slow, but after that, no horse could surpass it.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the night of Mi'raj, Buraq was brought to me, which was an animal bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule. It would place its hoof where its gaze reached. I mounted it, then set off and reached Bayt al-Maqdis, and tied my mount at the ring where the other Prophets (peace be upon them) used to tie theirs. Then I entered there and prayed two rak'ahs. Then I came out, and Jibreel (peace be upon him) brought me a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk. I chose the vessel of milk. Jibreel (peace be upon him) said: You have chosen the natural disposition (fitrah). Then he took me towards the lowest heaven and knocked on its door. The inhabitants of the heaven said: Who is it? He replied: Jibreel. They said: Who is with you? He said: Muhammad (ﷺ). They said: Has he been called? He said: Yes. So they opened the door, and on the first heaven, the Prophet (ﷺ) met Adam (peace be upon him). He welcomed him and prayed for him. Then Jibreel (peace be upon him) took you (ﷺ) up to the second heaven. At its door, the angels asked the same questions as at the first heaven: Who is it? He said: Jibreel. They said: Who is with you? He said: Muhammad, the Noble Messenger (ﷺ). They said: Has he been called? They opened the door. There, he met Yahya (peace be upon him) and Isa (peace be upon him). They welcomed me and prayed for me. Then he ascended to the third heaven, and the same conversation took place as at the second. Then he ascended to the fourth, and the same conversation took place. Then he reached the fifth heaven, and the same conversation took place. Then he ascended to the sixth heaven, and the angels there also had the same conversation. Then he reached the seventh heaven, and the angels there did the same. On the third heaven, he met Yusuf (peace be upon him), to whom half of all beauty was given. He also welcomed me and prayed for me. On the fourth heaven, he met Idris (peace be upon him), whom Allah had raised to a high place. He also welcomed me and prayed for me. On the fifth heaven, he met Harun (peace be upon him). He also welcomed me and prayed for me. On the sixth heaven, he met Musa (peace be upon him). He also welcomed me and prayed for me. On the seventh heaven, he met Ibrahim (peace be upon him). He also welcomed me and prayed for me. He was sitting reclining against Bayt al-Ma'mur, where seventy thousand angels enter daily and never return for their turn again. Then I was taken to Sidrat al-Muntaha, whose leaves were like the ears of elephants and its fruits like the jars of Hajar. When, by Allah's command, that which covered it covered it, it changed, and now it is beyond any human's ability to describe its beauty. Then Allah Almighty revealed what He wished to reveal, including this: Fifty prayers were made obligatory upon your Ummah in the day and night. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) descended from there until he reached Musa (peace be upon him), who stopped him and said: O Muhammad (ﷺ)! What covenant has your Lord taken from you? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Fifty prayers have been made obligatory every day and night. Musa (peace be upon him) said: O Muhammad (ﷺ)! Your Ummah will not be able to bear this. Go back to your Lord and request a reduction, for I have tested the Children of Israel. The Prophet (ﷺ) went to the Lord and, reaching the same place, said: O Lord! Grant us a reduction. Allah Almighty reduced five prayers, and the Prophet (ﷺ) came to Musa (peace be upon him). He again stopped him and sent him back to the Lord. In this way, Musa (peace be upon him) kept sending the Prophet (ﷺ) back until Allah Almighty said: O Muhammad (ﷺ)! There are five prayers every day and night, and for every prayer, there is the reward of ten, so these are fifty prayers.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Once, when I was a child playing with other children, suddenly a man came and he grabbed me and split open my stomach. He took out a clot of congealed blood from it and threw it away, saying, "This was the portion of Satan in your body." Then he washed my stomach with Zamzam water from a golden basin, and then he stitched it up and closed it. Seeing this, all the children ran to my mother and said, "Muhammad (ﷺ) has been killed." My mother came running and saw that the color of the blessed face of the Prophet (ﷺ) was changing.

Once, Alaa bin Ziyad (may Allah have mercy on him) asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), “O Abu Hamza! How old was the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was sent as a Prophet?” He replied, “Forty years old.” Alaa asked, “What happened after that?” He replied, “He (ﷺ) stayed in Makkah for ten years, and in Madinah for ten years, thus completing sixty years. After that, Allah called the Prophet (ﷺ) to Himself.” Alaa asked, “At that time, what kind of man did the Prophet (ﷺ) appear to be?” He replied, “Like a handsome and well-built young man.” Alaa bin Ziyad (may Allah have mercy on him) then asked, “Abu Hamza! Did you participate in jihad with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?” He said, “Yes, I was present with him (ﷺ) at the Battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came out in great numbers and attacked us, so much so that we looked behind our horses’ backs, and among the disbelievers was a man who attacked us and wounded and killed people with his sword. Seeing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) dismounted, then Allah defeated them and they turned their backs and fled. When victory was achieved, the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up, and one by one, the prisoners of war began to be brought, and they came and started pledging allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) on Islam. One man, who was among your noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them), had vowed that if the man who wounded us that day was brought as a captive, he would kill him. Hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent, and that man was brought. When that man saw the Prophet (ﷺ), he said, ‘O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I have repented to Allah.’ (Upon hearing this) the Prophet (ﷺ) delayed accepting his pledge, thinking that the companion (may Allah be pleased with him) would fulfill his vow (i.e., kill the man as soon as possible), but the companion was waiting for the Prophet (ﷺ) to order the killing, so that he could kill the man, and I was afraid that I might kill the man and the Prophet (ﷺ) would be displeased with me. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw that the companion was not doing anything, i.e., was not killing the man in any way, then finally, the Prophet (ﷺ) was compelled to accept his pledge. Upon this, the companion said, ‘O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! How will my vow be fulfilled?’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘The reason I delayed and did not accept his pledge was so that you could fulfill your vow.’ He said, ‘O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Why did you not signal to me?’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘It is not appropriate for a Prophet to make a secret signal with his eyes.’

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some sounds reached the ears of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What are these sounds?" People informed him that date palms were being grafted. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If these people do not graft, perhaps it will be better for them."

We learned that this verse was revealed about them: "If two groups of Muslims fight each other, then make peace between them."

حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنَا السُّمَيْطُ السَّدُوسِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: فَتَحْنَا مَكَّةَ ثُمَّ إِنَّا غَزَوْنَا حُنَيْنًا، فَجَاءَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ بِأَحْسَنِ صُفُوفٍ رُئِيَتْ - أَوْ رَأَيْتَ - فَصُفَّ الْخَيْلُ، ثُمَّ صُفَّتِ الْمُقَاتِلَةُ، ثُمَّ صُفَّتِ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ صُفَّتِ الْغَنَمُ، ثُمَّ صُفَّتِ النَّعَمُ، قَالَ: وَنَحْنُ بَشَرٌ كَثِيرٌ قَدْ بَلَغْنَا سِتَّةَ آلَافٍ، وَعَلَى مُجَنِّبَةِ خَيْلِنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَتْ خُيُولُنَا تَلُوذُ خَلْفَ ظُهُورِنَا، قَالَ: فَلَمْ نَلْبَثْ أَنْ انْكَشَفَتْ خَيْلُنَا، (١) وَفَرَّتِ الْأَعْرَابُ وَمَنْ تَعْلَمُ مِنَ النَّاسِ. قَالَ: فَنَادَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا لَلْمُهَاجِرِينَ، يَا لَلْمُهَاجِرِينَ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا لَلْأَنْصَارِ، يَا لَلْأَنْصَارِ "، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: هَذَا حَدِيثُ عِمِّيَّةٍ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: وَأَيْمُ اللهِ مَا أَتَيْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى هَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ، قَالَ: فَقَبَضْنَا ذَلِكَ الْمَالَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ انْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الطَّائِفِ، فَحَاصَرْنَاهُمْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى مَكَّةَ، قَالَ: فَنَزَلْنَا، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْطِي، ، الرَّجُلَ الْمِائَةَ، وَيُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ الْمِائَةَ، قَالَ: فَتَحَدَّثَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ بَيْنَهَا، أَمَّا مَنْ قَاتَلَهُ فَيُعْطِيهِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ لَمْ يُقَاتِلْهُ فَلَا يُعْطِيهِ قَالَ: فَرُفِعَ الْحَدِيثُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِسَرَاةِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " لَا يَدْخُلْ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا أَنْصَارِيٌّ أَوِ الْأَنْصَارُ " قَالَ: فَدَخَلْنَا الْقُبَّةَ حَتَّى مَلَأْنَا الْقُبَّةَ، قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ - أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ: - مَا حَدِيثٌ أَتَانِي؟ " قَالُوا: مَا أَتَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " مَا حَدِيثٌ أَتَانِي؟ "، قَالُوا: مَا أَتَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " أَلَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالْأَمْوَالِ، وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ حَتَّى تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ؟ "، قَالُوا: رَضِينَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ شِعْبًا، وَأَخَذَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعْبًا، لَأَخَذْتُ شِعْبَ الْأَنْصَارِ " قَالُوا: رَضِينَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَارْضَوْا " أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that we conquered Makkah, then we fought the battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came with such good formation as I had never seen before. First, the cavalry formed ranks, then the foot soldiers behind them, then the women formed ranks, then the goats were lined up, and then the camels were arranged in rows. We were many people, and our number had reached six thousand, and on one side, the cavalry was under the command of Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). Then our horsemen began to take refuge behind our backs, and not much time had passed when our horses were exposed and the villagers fled, and those people whom we knew also fled. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called out, "O Muhajireen! O Muhajireen!" Then he said, "O Ansar, O Ansar!" Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that this hadith is from my uncles. We said, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah!" Then you (ﷺ) advanced, and by Allah, we had not even reached when Allah defeated them. Then we took possession of the spoils, then we proceeded towards Ta’if and besieged it for forty days, then we returned towards Makkah and camped there. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) began to give each person one hundred camels. Seeing this, the Ansar began to talk among themselves that the Prophet (ﷺ) is giving to those people who fought against him, and those who did not fight against him are not being given anything. This news reached the Prophet (ﷺ), so he gathered them in a tent and said, "O group of Ansar, what is this that has reached me from you?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), what has reached you?" This happened twice. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O group of Ansar, are you not pleased that people take the world and you return to your homes with Muhammad (ﷺ) among you?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are pleased." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If people walk in one valley and the Ansar walk in another valley, I will choose the valley of the Ansar." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are pleased." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Be happy."

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِلَالٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبَّابًا، وَلَا فَحَّاشًا، وَلَا لَعَّانًا، كَانَ يَقُولُ لِأَحَدِنَا عِنْدَ الْمُعَاتَبَةِ: " مَا لَهُ تَرِبَتْ جَبِينُهُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) was not one who abused, cursed, or spoke indecently. Even at the time of reprimand, he would only say: "What is wrong with him, may his forehead be dusted."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: " لَقَدْ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةً لَوْ صَلَّاهَا أَحَدُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ لَعِبْتُمُوهَا عَلَيْهِ " فَقَالَ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ، بن مُسْلِمُ (٢) بْنُ أَبِي نَمِرٍ: أَفَلَا تَذْكُرُ ذَاكَ لِأَمِيرِنَا - وَالْأَمِيرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيرِ -؟ فَقَالَ: " قَدْ فَعَلْتُ " (٣)، ،

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that we offered prayer with the Prophet (peace be upon him) in such a manner that if any one of you were to pray like that today, you would criticize him. Upon hearing this, Shareek and Muslim bin Abi Numran said to him, "Why don't you tell this to our governor?" At that time, Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) was the governor of Madinah. He replied, "I have already done that."

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَفَّانُ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْحَلْقَةِ، وَرَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي. فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ جَلَسَ وَتَشَهَّدَ، ثُمَّ دَعَا، فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، الْمَنَّانُ (١) ، بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ، إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَتَدْرُونَ بِمَا دَعَا؟ "، قَالُوا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَقَدْ دَعَا اللهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ، وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى " قَالَ: عَفَّانُ: " دَعَا بِاسْمِهِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting in a circle with the Prophet (ﷺ), and a man was standing and offering prayer. After bowing and prostrating, when he sat in Tashahhud, he recited this supplication: ( اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْحَنَّانُ بَدِيعَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ ) "O Allah! I ask You because all praise is for You alone, there is no deity except You, the Most Compassionate, the Originator of the heavens and the earth without any precedent, the Possessor of Majesty and Honor. O Ever-Living, O Sustainer! I ask You alone." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you know what supplication he made?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, he has supplicated to Allah by His Greatest Name, which, when He is supplicated by it, He surely answers, and when He is asked by it, He surely gives."

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا فِي الْحَلْقَةِ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْقَوْمِ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ، فَرَدَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ "، فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ، قَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْدًا كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ، كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا أَنْ يُحْمَدَ، وَيَنْبَغِي لَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟ "، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا قَالَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَقَدِ ابْتَدَرَهَا عَشَرَةُ أَمْلَاكٍ، كُلُّهُمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَى أَنْ يَكْتُبَهَا، فَمَا دَرَوْا كَيْفَ يَكْتُبُوهَا (١) حَتَّى رَفَعُوهَا (٢) إِلَى ذِي الْعِزَّةِ، فَقَالَ: اكْتُبُوهَا كَمَا قَالَ عَبْدِي " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was sitting in a gathering with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a man came and greeted the Prophet (ﷺ) and the other people. Everyone replied to him. When he sat down, he said: "All praise is due to Allah, abundant, pure, and blessed praise, as our Lord loves and as is befitting for Him." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "What did you say?" He repeated these words. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, I saw ten angels hastening towards it, as to who would write it first, but they did not know how much reward to write for these words. So they asked Allah, and Allah said, 'Write it as My servant has said it.'"

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to command marriage and strongly prohibit turning away from it, and he used to say: Marry loving and child-bearing women, for I will boast of your numbers before the other prophets (peace be upon them) on the Day of Resurrection.

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، (١) حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، عَنْ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كَانَ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَهُمْ جَمَلٌ يَسْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنَّ الْجَمَلَ اسْتُصْعِبَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَمَنَعَهُمْ ظَهْرَهُ، وَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ جَاءُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَنَا جَمَلٌ نَسْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنَّهُ اسْتُصْعِبَ عَلَيْنَا، وَمَنَعَنَا ظَهْرَهُ، وَقَدْ عَطِشَ الزَّرْعُ وَالنَّخْلُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: " قُومُوا " فَقَامُوا، فَدَخَلَ الْحَائِطَ وَالْجَمَلُ فِي نَاحِيَتِهِ، فَمَشَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ، فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ صَارَ مِثْلَ الْكَلْبِ الْكَلِبِ، وَإِنَّا نَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ صَوْلَتَهُ، فَقَالَ: " لَيْسَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ بَأْسٌ ". فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ الْجَمَلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْبَلَ نَحْوَهُ، حَتَّى خَرَّ سَاجِدًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ أَذَلَّ مَا كَانَتْ، ، قَطُّ، حَتَّى أَدْخَلَهُ فِي الْعَمَلِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، هَذِهِ بَهِيمَةٌ لَا تَعْقِلُ تَسْجُدُ لَكَ وَنَحْنُ نَعْقِلُ، فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لَكَ، فَقَالَ: " لَا يَصْلُحُ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ، وَلَوْ صَلَحَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ، لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا، مِنْ عِظَمِ حَقِّهِ عَلَيْهَا، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ قَدَمِهِ إِلَى مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ قُرْحَةٌ تَنْبَجِسُ بِالْقَيْحِ وَالصَّدِيدِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ تَلْحَسُهُ مَا أَدَّتْ حَقَّهُ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a household among the Ansar who had a camel used for carrying water. One day, the camel became very unruly and did not allow anyone to ride it. They came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "We had a camel on which we used to bring water, but today it has become so wild that it does not let us ride it at all. Our fields and gardens are drying up." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them), "Get up," and set out with them. When he reached there and entered the garden, he saw that the camel was in a corner. The Prophet (ﷺ) walked towards it. Seeing this, the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! It has become like a wild dog. We fear it may attack you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It will not harm me." When the camel saw the Prophet (ﷺ), it came to him and knelt down before him. The Prophet (ﷺ) held it by its forehead, and it became even more obedient than before, and the Prophet (ﷺ) put it back to work. Seeing this, the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! If this unintelligent animal can prostrate to you, then we, being intelligent, have even more right to prostrate to you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is not permissible for any human to prostrate to another human. If it were permissible, I would have ordered a woman to prostrate to her husband, for his right over her is greater." By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if a man's whole body, from the soles of his feet to the parting of his hair, were covered with sores and blood and pus flowed from them, and his wife came and licked them, even then she would not have fulfilled his right. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once we were taken with forty Ansari men to Abdul Malik in Syria so that he could fix our stipend. On the way back, when we reached Faj al-Naqah, he led us in two rak'ahs of Asr prayer, then after saying salam, he went to his tent. The people stood up and began to pray two more rak'ahs. Seeing this, Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "May Allah disfigure these faces! By Allah, they neither acted upon the Sunnah nor accepted the concession. I bear witness that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: Some people will go to extremes in religion and will leave the religion just as an arrow leaves the prey."

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ، عَنْ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: انْطُلِقَ بِنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، وَنَحْنُ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لِيَفْرِضَ لَنَا، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ وَكُنَّا بِفَجِّ النَّاقَةِ، صَلَّى بِنَا الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، (١) ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَدَخَلَ فُسْطَاطَهُ، وَقَامَ الْقَوْمُ يُضِيفُونَ إِلَى رَكْعَتَيْهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أُخْرَيَيْنِ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ: قَبَّحَ اللهُ الْوُجُوهَ، فَوَاللهِ مَا أَصَابَتِ السُّنَّةَ، وَلَا قَبِلَتِ الرُّخْصَةَ، فَأَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ أَقْوَامًا، ، يَتَعَمَّقُونَ فِي الدِّينِ، يَمْرُقُونَ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him): "Select one of your children for us who can serve me." Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) seated me behind him and set off, and I became the servant of the Prophet (ﷺ). Wherever the Prophet (ﷺ) would stay, I would often hear him say: "O Allah! I seek refuge in You from worry, grief, helplessness, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, the burden of debts, and the overpowering of people." I remained the constant servant of the Prophet (ﷺ). On one occasion, when we were returning from Khaybar, Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) was also with the Prophet (ﷺ), whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had chosen. I saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) would make a screen behind him with a sheet or cloak and then seat her behind him. When we reached the place of Sahya, the Prophet (ﷺ) made halwa and spread it on the dining cloth, then sent me, and I brought many people. All of them ate that halwa, which was actually the wedding feast (walima) of the Prophet (ﷺ). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) set off, and when the Uhud mountain came into view, he said: "This mountain loves us and we love it." Then, when we approached Madinah, he said: "O Allah!

I have never seen a day of good and evil like today."

The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides, their eyes be branded with hot irons, and they were left in the rocky area until they died.

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) married Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) prepared a sweet dish in a stone vessel and sent it as a gift to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Go and invite whoever you meet on the way." I did so, and people kept coming, eating, and leaving. The Prophet (ﷺ) placed his hand on the food and prayed, and said whatever Allah willed. I did not leave a single person whom I met without inviting him, and all the people ate and drank to their fill and left. But some people remained there and started talking at length. The Prophet (ﷺ) felt shy to say anything to them, so he left them sitting in the house and went out himself. Upon this, Allah revealed this verse: "O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet until permission is given to you for a meal."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " فَطَلَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، تَنْطِفُ لِحْيَتُهُ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ، قَدْ تَعَلَّقَ نَعْلَيْهِ فِي يَدِهِ الشِّمَالِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَطَلَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مِثْلَ الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى. فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ أَيْضًا، فَطَلَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِهِ الْأُولَى، فَلَمَّا قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَبِعَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَاحَيْتُ أَبِي فَأَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُؤْوِيَنِي إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَمْضِيَ فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ أَنَسٌ: وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ مَعَهُ تِلْكَ اللَّيَالِي الثَّلَاثَ، (١) فَلَمْ يَرَهُ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ شَيْئًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا تَعَارَّ وَتَقَلَّبَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ ذَكَرَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكَبَّرَ، حَتَّى يَقُومَ لِصَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ يَقُولُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا، فَلَمَّا مَضَتِ الثَّلَاثُ لَيَالٍ وَكِدْتُ أَنْ أَحْقِرَ (٢) عَمَلَهُ، قُلْتُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ إِنِّي، ، لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَبِي غَضَبٌ وَلَا هَجْرٌ ثَمَّ، وَلَكِنْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَكَ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ: " يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " فَطَلَعْتَ أَنْتَ الثَّلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ آوِيَ إِلَيْكَ لِأَنْظُرَ مَا عَمَلُكَ، فَأَقْتَدِيَ بِهِ، فَلَمْ أَرَكَ تَعْمَلُ كَثِيرَ عَمَلٍ، فَمَا الَّذِي بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ دَعَانِي، فَقَالَ: مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غِشًّا، وَلَا أَحْسُدُ أَحَدًا عَلَى خَيْرٍ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ إِيَّاهُ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ هَذِهِ الَّتِي بَلَغَتْ بِكَ، وَهِيَ الَّتِي لَا نُطِيقُ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Soon, a man from among the people of Paradise will come to you." We saw that an Ansari companion was coming, and drops of water from ablution were dripping from his beard, and he was holding his shoes in his left hand. The next day, the Prophet (ﷺ) made the same announcement, and the same companion came. On the third day, the announcement was made again, and again the same companion (may Allah be pleased with him) came. On the third day, when the Prophet (ﷺ) left, Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) followed that companion and said to him, "I have, after making my father swear oaths and insisting a lot, convinced him to let me not go home for three days. If you can let me stay with you, I will do whatever deeds you do." He allowed Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) to stay. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that he stayed with him for three nights, but did not see him standing (in prayer) at night. However, whenever he woke up from sleep and got up from his bed, he would remember Allah and get up for the Fajr prayer. Also, I always saw him speaking good things. When three nights had passed and I began to consider all my efforts insignificant, I said to him, "Servant of Allah! There is no anger or break in relations between me and my father (because of which I have stayed here), but I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say three times that soon a man from among the people of Paradise will come, and each time it was you who came. So I wished to spend some time with you and observe your deeds and follow them myself, but I did not see you doing many (extra) deeds during this time. So how did you reach the status that the Prophet (ﷺ) said such a great thing about you?" He replied, "The deeds are only what you have seen." Then, when I turned to go back, he called me and said, "The deeds are only what you have seen, but I do not hold any malice in my heart towards any Muslim, nor do I envy anyone for the blessings and goodness that Allah has given them." Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "This is the thing that has brought you to this rank, and which we do not have the strength to do."

When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished the prayer, he asked, "Who among you spoke?" He had said a good thing. So that man said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I spoke. I was coming quickly and when I reached near the row, I said this phrase." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I saw twelve angels rushing towards it to see who would be the first to raise this phrase."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) be established?" At that time, the Iqamah had been pronounced, so the Prophet (ﷺ) began to lead the prayer. After finishing the prayer, he said, "Where is the one who asked about the Hour?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I am here." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What preparation have you made for the Hour?" He replied, "I have not prepared many good deeds, prayers, or fasts, but I do have love for Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A person will be with the one whom he loves on the Day of Judgment." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I have never seen the Muslims as happy as they were on that day after accepting Islam."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that at the time of the Prophet’s (ﷺ) arrival in Madinah Munawwarah, his age was ten years. He says that his mother used to encourage him to serve the Prophet (ﷺ), therefore, when the command of veil (purdah) was revealed, I knew the situation of that time better than anyone else. That night, the Prophet (ﷺ) had seclusion with Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), and in the morning the Prophet (ﷺ) was a bridegroom. After that, the Prophet (ﷺ) invited the people, they came, ate food, and left, but some people remained sitting there and stayed for quite a while, until the Prophet (ﷺ) himself got up and went outside. I also went outside so that they might leave as well. The Prophet (ﷺ) and I, while walking, stopped at the threshold of Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) chamber. The Prophet (ﷺ) thought that perhaps those people had now left, so the Prophet (ﷺ) returned, and I was with him. When we saw, indeed those people had gone. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered inside and hung a curtain, and Allah revealed the verse of hijab.

He made the camel sit in the mosque, dismounted, tied the she-camel with a rope, and then began to ask, "Who among you is Muhammad (ﷺ)?" At that time, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting in the middle, reclining on a cushion. We replied, "This fair-skinned man who is reclining on the cushion is Muhammad (ﷺ)." That man turned towards the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O son of Abdul Muttalib!" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, I am listening (state your purpose)." The man said, "I want to ask you something, and I will be a bit harsh in questioning, so do not be angry with me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ask whatever you wish." He said, "I ask you by the Lord of you and those before you, has Allah sent you as a Prophet for all people?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, by Allah! (He has sent me as a Prophet for all people.)" He said, "I ask you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to offer five prayers in the day and night?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, by Allah." He said, "I ask you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to fast in the month of Ramadan every year?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, by Allah." He said, "I ask you by Allah, has Allah commanded you to take zakat from our wealthy and distribute it among our poor?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, by Allah!" Upon hearing this, the man said, "I believe in everything you have brought (from Allah), and I am the representative of my people, and my name is Dhamam bin Tha’labah."

Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Hamzah! Tell us about some strange incident in which you yourself were present and you are not narrating it from anyone else?" He replied, "Once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led the Zuhr prayer and then went and sat at the place where Jibreel (peace be upon him) used to come to him. Then Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came and gave the adhan for Asr. Every person who had a house in Madinah Munawwarah got up and went for relieving himself and for ablution. Some Muhajireen remained who had no house in Madinah. A large vessel of water was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his palms in it, but the vessel was not spacious enough, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed only four fingers in it and said, 'Come close and perform ablution from it.' At that time, the blessed hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in the vessel. So all of them performed ablution from it, and there was not a single person left who did not perform ablution." I asked, "O Abu Hamzah! In your opinion, how many people were there?" He replied, "Between seventy and eighty."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Utban (may Allah be pleased with him) began to complain about his eyes. He sent a message to the Prophet (ﷺ), mentioning his difficulty, and requested, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), please come to my house and offer prayer so that I may make that place my prayer area." So, one day the Prophet (ﷺ) went to his house along with some of his companions (may Allah be pleased with them). The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up to pray, and the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) began talking among themselves and started mentioning the troubles caused by the hypocrites. They considered Malik bin Dukhaythum to be the most involved in this. When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished the prayer, he said, "Does he not bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?" A man said, "Why not, but it is not from his heart." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, the fire of Hell is made forbidden for him."

Narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the time for prayer came, so every person who had a house in Madinah got up and went for relieving himself and performing ablution. Some Muhajireen remained who had no house in Madinah, and they were between seventy and eighty in number. A large vessel of water was brought to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) placed his hands in it, but the vessel was not spacious enough, so the Prophet (ﷺ) placed only four fingers in it and said, "Come near and perform ablution from it." At that time, the blessed hand of the Prophet (ﷺ) was in the vessel. So all of them performed ablution from it, and not a single person remained who did not perform ablution, and still the same amount of water remained in it.

The number of men will decrease and the number of women will increase, to the extent that one man will be responsible for fifty women.

Then he said, "Whoever wants to ask any question, let him ask. By Allah! Whatever you ask me about, as long as I am standing here, I will surely answer you." Hearing this, the people began to weep and wail in abundance, and the Prophet (ﷺ) kept repeating, "Ask me." So a man stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Where will I enter?" He replied, "In Hell." Abdullah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Who is my father?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your father is Hudhafah." Upon this, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) knelt down and began to say, "We are pleased and content with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad (ﷺ) as our Prophet." Hearing this from Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (ﷺ) became silent. After a little while, he said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, Paradise and Hell have just been presented before me in the width of this wall, while I was praying. I have never seen a day of good and evil like today."

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي لَقَائِمٌ أَنْتَظِرُ أُمَّتِي تَعْبُرُ (١) الصِّرَاطِ، إِذْ جَاءَنِي عِيسَى فَقَالَ: هَذِهِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ قَدْ جَاءَتْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَسْأَلُونَ (٢) - أَوْ قَالَ: يَجْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ - وَيَدْعُونَ اللهَ، أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَ (٣) جَمْعِ الْأُمَمِ، إِلَى حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ اللهُ، لِغَمِّ مَا هُمْ فِيهِ فَالْخَلْقُ مُلْجَمُونَ فِي الْعَرَقِ. فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ، فَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ كَالزَّكْمَةِ، وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ فَيَتَغَشَّاهُ الْمَوْتُ ". قَالَ: " قَالَ عِيسَى: انْتَظِرْ حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكَ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى قَامَ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ، فَلَقِيَ مَا لَمْ يَلْقَ مَلَكٌ مُصْطَفًى، وَلَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ، فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَى جِبْرِيلَ: أَنِ اذْهَبْ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ فَقُلْ لَهُ: ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ، سَلْ تُعْطَ، وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ. قَالَ: فَشُفِّعْتُ فِي أُمَّتِي، أَنْ أُخْرِجَ مِنْ كُلِّ تِسْعَةٍ وَتِسْعِينَ إِنْسَانًا وَاحِدًا، قَالَ: فَمَا زِلْتُ أَتَرَدَّدُ عَلَى رَبِّي، فَلَا أَقُومُ مَقَامًا إِلَّا شُفِّعْتُ، حَتَّى أَعْطَانِي اللهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، أَنْ قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَدْخِلْ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ، مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا مُخْلِصًا، وَمَاتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ " (٤)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) told me that on the Day of Resurrection I will be standing, waiting for my Ummah so that they may cross the Bridge of Sirat, when in the meantime Isa (peace be upon him) will come to me and say, "O Muhammad (ﷺ)! All the Prophets (peace be upon them) have gathered together and come to you so that you may supplicate to Allah to disperse this crowd of nations wherever He wills and send them to their abodes, because the people are in great distress." At that time, everyone will have the reins of sweat in their mouths. For the Muslim, it will be like a cold, and for the disbeliever, it will be like the agony of death. The Prophet (ﷺ) will say to them, "You wait for me here, I will come to you soon." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) will go and stand under the Throne, and he will be granted a rank which will not be given to any chosen angel or sent Prophet. Then Allah Almighty will send this message to Jibreel (peace be upon him) that go to Muhammad (ﷺ) and say to him, "Raise your head, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted." Thus, my intercession regarding my Ummah will be accepted that out of every ninety-nine, one person will be taken out of Hell. But I will continue to insist with my Lord and will not leave from there until my intercession is accepted, until Allah Almighty grants me the acceptance of this intercession and says, "O Muhammad (ﷺ)! Take out from Hell every person among your Ummah who testified with sincerity to 'La ilaha illallah' even for one day and died upon it."

He said, "Then I will be at the Pond of Kawthar, and on the Day of Judgment, I will not go beyond these three places."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) married Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), who was the mother of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). They had a son, whom Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) loved very much. One day, the child became extremely ill. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) had a routine that he would get up for the Fajr prayer, perform ablution, present himself in the court of the Prophet, and offer prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ). He would stay there until about midday, then return home, take a nap, eat food, and after the Zuhr prayer, get ready and leave again, returning only at the time of Isha. One day, when he left at noon, his son passed away after him. His wife, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), covered the child with a cloth. When Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) returned, he asked about the child. She replied that he is better than before. Then she placed the dinner before him, and he ate. Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) adorned herself. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) lay down on his bed and rested his head. She says, "I stood up, applied perfume, and lay down with him on the bed." When he smelled the fragrance, he felt the same desire that every man feels for his wife. In the morning, he began to prepare as usual. Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said to Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Talha! If someone entrusts something to you, you benefit from it, and then he demands it back and takes it from you, would you be distressed over it?" He said, "No." She said, "Then your son has passed away." Upon this, he became very upset and went to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and related the entire incident of eating, applying perfume, and intimacy. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is astonishing that the child lay beside you and you both had intimacy." They said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), that is exactly what happened." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bless your night." Thus, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) became pregnant that very night, and a boy was born to them. In the morning, Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, "Wrap him in a cloth and take him to the Prophet (ﷺ), and take some good dates with you." He himself did not give him anything to taste nor did he give him anything. I picked him up, wrapped him in a cloth, and presented him to the Prophet (ﷺ), saying, "A boy." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Alhamdulillah," and said, "Bring him to me." I handed him to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked if I had Ajwa dates. I replied, "Yes," and took out the dates. The Prophet (ﷺ) took a date, put it in his mouth, and chewed it. When it mixed with his saliva, the Prophet (ﷺ) gave it to the child to taste. The child began to enjoy the taste of the date and started sucking it. It was as if the very first thing that entered his intestines was the saliva of the Prophet (ﷺ).

The people asked, "You said 'It has become obligatory' for both; what is the reason for this?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This is the testimony of the people, and the Muslims are Allah's witnesses on earth."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the Fajr prayer at Khyber in the darkness of early morning, and after saying Allahu Akbar, he said: "Khyber is destroyed! When we descend into the courtyard of a people, then the morning of those who have been warned is the worst." At that time, the people had come out for their work. They began to say, "Muhammad and his army have arrived." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) conquered Khyber, killed their fighting men, and took their children as captives.

Humaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a person asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Prophet (ﷺ) used to raise his hands in supplication. He replied that once, on a Friday, people said to the Prophet (ﷺ): "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The rain has stopped, the land has become dry, and the livestock are being destroyed." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his hands so high that I could see the whiteness of his blessed armpits, and the Prophet (ﷺ) supplicated for rain. At the time when the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his blessed hands, we could not see any clouds in the sky, but when the prayer was finished, the young men living in nearby houses had difficulty returning to their homes. When the next Friday came, people said: "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The buildings of the houses have collapsed and the riders have been forced to stop outside Madinah." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) supplicated to Allah: "O Allah! Let this rain fall around us, not upon us." Thus, the rain moved away from Madinah.

Upon this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not leave out any good of this world and the Hereafter except that he asked it for me, and he said, "O Allah!

Rather, if you go as far as Bark al-Ghamad, striking the livers of camels, even then we will be with you."

Abdullah said, "He is the enemy of the Jews among the angels." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The very first sign of the Day of Judgment will be a fire that will emerge from the East and gather all the people in the West. The first food of the people of Paradise will be the liver of fish.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Abdur Rahman bin Auf (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah Munawwarah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) established brotherhood between him and Sa’d bin Rabi’ (may Allah be pleased with him). Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “I will divide all my wealth into two parts, and I have two wives; I will divorce one of them, and when her waiting period is over, you may marry her.” Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, “May Allah bless your wealth and your family for you. Just show me the way to the market.” So he showed Abdur Rahman bin Auf (may Allah be pleased with him) the way. He went, and when he returned, he had some cheese and ghee which he had saved as profit. After some time, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw Abdur Rahman bin Auf (may Allah be pleased with him) and there were yellow marks on him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, “What are these marks?” He replied, “I have married an Ansari woman.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, “How much dowry did you give?” He replied, “Gold equal to the weight of a date stone.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Give a wedding feast, even if it is only with one goat.”

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people of Banu Hawazin brought children, women, camels, and goats with them in the Battle of Hunayn. They made all of them stand in different rows to show their large numbers. When the battle started, the Muslims turned their backs and fled, as Allah Almighty has mentioned. At this, the Prophet (ﷺ) called out to the Muslims, "O servants of Allah! I am the servant and Messenger of Allah (here). O group of Ansar! I am the servant and Messenger of Allah (here)." After that, Allah granted victory to the Muslims and defeat to the disbelievers. The Prophet (ﷺ) announced that day that whoever kills a disbeliever, all his belongings will go to the one who killed him. Accordingly, Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) killed twenty disbelievers that day and took their belongings. Similarly, Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! I struck a man on the rope of his shoulder; he was wearing armor. I managed to overpower him with great difficulty and saved my life. Please find out who has taken his belongings?" A man stood up and said, "I have taken those belongings, O Messenger of Allah! Please make him pleased with me on my behalf and give those belongings to me." The blessed habit of the Prophet (ﷺ) was that if someone asked for something, he would give it or remain silent. On this occasion, the Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent, but Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah! It cannot happen that Allah gives the spoils of war to one of His lions and the Prophet (ﷺ) gives them to you." The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled and said, "Umar is telling the truth." In the Battle of Hunayn itself, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) had a dagger with her. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) asked her, "What is this with you?" She said, "I have kept this with me so that if any polytheist comes near me, I will rip open his belly with it." Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the court of the Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! Did you hear what Umm Sulaym said?" Then she said, "O Messenger of Allah! Those people who ran away leaving you, have them killed." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Umm Sulaym! Allah Himself has sufficed for us and dealt well with us."

Sometimes, when the time for prayer would come, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) would spread a prayer mat for the Prophet (ﷺ), upon which he would sprinkle water and then perform the prayer.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that (since) we were forbidden in the Qur'an from asking the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) too many questions, we used to wish in our hearts that some intelligent Bedouin would come and ask the Prophet (ﷺ) about some issue so that we could listen. So (once) a Bedouin came and presented himself before the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "Your messenger came to us and said that you claim Allah has made you a Prophet?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "He spoke the truth." The Bedouin asked, "Who created the heavens, the earth, and the mountains?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "The Lord did." The Bedouin said, "I ask you by the One Who created the heavens and the earth and established the mountains, (tell me) has Allah really sent you as a Messenger?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes!" The Bedouin said, "Your messenger said that five prayers are obligatory upon us in the day and night." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "He spoke the truth." The Bedouin said, "I ask you by Allah, Who sent you as a Messenger (tell me), did Allah command you this?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes!" The Bedouin said, "Your messenger said that it is obligatory upon us to give zakat from our wealth?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "He spoke the truth." He said, "By Allah, Who sent you, did He command you this?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes!" He said, "Your messenger also said that fasting for one month in the year is obligatory upon us?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "He spoke the truth." The Bedouin said, "I ask you by Allah, Who made you a Prophet (tell me), did Allah command you this?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes!" The Bedouin said, "Your messenger also said that Hajj is obligatory upon those among us who are able?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "He spoke the truth." In the end, the Bedouin turned his back and as he was leaving, he said, "By Allah, Who has sent you with the truth, I will neither add to this nor decrease anything from it." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If he is truthful, he will enter Paradise."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once during the month of Ramadan, the Prophet (ﷺ) was leading the prayer. I came and stood behind him, then another man came and stood with me, and in this way, a congregation was formed. When the Prophet (ﷺ) sensed my presence behind him, he shortened the prayer and went to his house, and there he offered such a prayer as he had not offered in front of us. In the morning, we submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Did you realize our presence last night?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, and that is why I did so." Then, at the end of the month, the Prophet (ﷺ) observed continuous fasting (Saum Wisal). Some people did the same. When the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed, he said, "What is wrong with the people that they are observing Wisal? If this month had been prolonged, I would have fasted continuously for so many days that those who go to extremes in religion would have abandoned their extremism. I am not like you; (my Lord feeds me and gives me drink)."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) came to our house. At that time, besides my father and my maternal aunt Umm Haram, there was no one else in the house. It was not the time for prayer, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Get up, I will lead you in prayer." (So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, led us in prayer.) The narrator asked Thabit, "Where did the Prophet (ﷺ) make Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) stand?" He replied, "On his right side." In any case, the Prophet (ﷺ) asked for all the good of this world and the Hereafter for our family. Then my mother said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Please pray for your servant Anas." Upon this, the Prophet (ﷺ) asked for every good of this world and the Hereafter for me and said, "O Allah! Grant him wealth and children and bless them for him."

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked whether the Prophet (ﷺ) used to raise his hands in supplication. He replied that once, on a Friday, people said to the Prophet (ﷺ): "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The rain has stopped, the land has become dry, and wealth is being destroyed." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his hands so high that the whiteness of his blessed armpits became visible to me, and the Prophet (ﷺ) supplicated for rain. At the time when the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his blessed hands, we could not see any clouds in the sky, but when the prayer was finished, the young men living in nearby houses found it difficult to return to their homes. When the next Friday came, people said: "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The buildings of the houses have collapsed and the riders have been forced to stop outside Madinah." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) smiled at the impatience of the son of Adam and prayed to Allah: "O Allah! Let this rain fall around us, not upon us." So the rain was diverted away from Madinah.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he, the Prophet (ﷺ), his mother, and his maternal aunt were present. The Prophet (ﷺ) led all of them in prayer, placing Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) on his right side and his mother and maternal aunt behind him.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: None of you should wish for death because of any hardship that befalls him. If wishing for death becomes necessary, then he should say: O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and grant me death when death is better for me.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I had the honor of serving the Prophet (ﷺ) for ten years, both during travel and at home. It was not necessary that everything I did was pleasing to the Prophet (ﷺ), but the Prophet (ﷺ) never even said "uff" to me. The Prophet (ﷺ) never said to me, "Why did you do this?" or "Why did you not do this?"

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when I finished serving the Prophet (ﷺ), I thought that now the Prophet (ﷺ) would take a nap, so I went out to play with the children. While I was watching their game, the Prophet (ﷺ) came and greeted the children who were playing, and called me and sent me on an errand, and he himself sat in the shade of a wall until I returned. When I reached home, Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) (my mother) asked, "Why did you take so long?" I told her that the Prophet (ﷺ) had sent me on an errand. She asked, "What was the errand?" I said, "It is a secret." She said, "Then protect the secret of the Prophet (ﷺ). Thabit! If he were to disclose that secret to anyone, he would have disclosed it to you."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) came into the share of Dihyah Kalbi (may Allah be pleased with him). Someone said, "O Messenger of Allah! A very beautiful slave girl has come into the share of Dihyah." The Prophet (ﷺ) bought her from him in exchange for his desire and sent her to Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) so that she could adorn and prepare her as a bride. Then, when the Prophet (ﷺ) left Khaybar, he made her ride on a mount, veiled her, and seated her behind himself. In the morning, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever has extra provisions, let him bring them to us." So people began bringing extra dates, sattu (roasted barley), and ghee. Then they made halwa from it, and they ate that halwa and drank water from a nearby pond in which rainwater had collected. This was the wedding feast (walimah) of the Prophet (ﷺ). Then we set out, and when we reached near Madinah, people began dismounting from their rides according to their custom. The Prophet (ﷺ) also began to dismount in the same way, but the she-camel slipped and the Prophet (ﷺ) fell to the ground. No one saw Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) and the Prophet (ﷺ). Meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up and veiled her, then seated her behind himself. We reached the Prophet (ﷺ), and he said, "No harm has occurred," and the Prophet (ﷺ) entered Madinah. The young girls came out again and again to see Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) and began to laugh at her falling.

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، وَهَاشِمٌ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّةُ زَيْنَبَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِزَيْدٍ: " اذْهَبْ فَاذْكُرْهَا عَلَيَّ ". قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَاهَا، قَالَ: وَهِيَ تُخَمِّرُ عَجِينَهَا، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهَا عَظُمَتْ فِي صَدْرِي حَتَّى مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَهَا، قال هاشم: حِينَ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَهَا، (٤) فَوَلَّيْتُهَا ظَهْرِي،، ، وَنكصْتُ (١) عَلَى عَقِبَيَّ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا زَيْنَبُ أَبْشِرِي، أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُكِ. قَالَتْ: مَا أَنَا بِصَانِعَةٍ شَيْئًا حَتَّى أُؤَامِرَ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَقَامَتْ إِلَى مَسْجِدِهَا وَنَزَلَ - يَعْنِي الْقُرْآنَ - وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ. قَالَ: وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَطْعَمَنَا عليها الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ، - قَالَ هَاشِمٌ: فِي حَدِيثِهِ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا حِينَ أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أُطْعِمْنَا الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ - فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ وَبَقِيَ رِجَالٌ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فِي الْبَيْتِ بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَاتَّبَعْتُهُ، فَجَعَلَ يَتَتَبَّعُ حُجَرَ نِسَائِهِ، فَجَعَلَ (٢) يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَيَقُلْنَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ أَهْلَكَ؟ قَالَ: فَمَا أَدْرِي أَنَا أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ خَرَجُوا أَوْ أُخْبِرَ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَدْخُلُ مَعَهُ، فَأَلْقَى السِّتْرَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ، وَنَزَلَ الْحِجَابُ قَالَ: وَوُعِظَ الْقَوْمُ بِمَا وُعِظُوا بِهِ. قَالَ هَاشِمٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: {لَا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ غَيْرَ نَاظِرِينَ إِنَاهُ} [الأحزاب: ٥٣] {وَلَا مُسْتَأْنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍ إِنَّ ذَلِكُمْ كَانَ يُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ فَيَسْتَحْيِي مِنْكُمْ وَاللهُ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ} [الأحزاب: ٥٣] (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the waiting period (‘iddah) of Zainab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her) was completed, the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Zaid bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) to go to Zainab and mention me to her. He went, and when he reached her, he himself says that she was kneading dough. When I saw her, such awe of her entered my heart that I could not even raise my eyes to look at her, because the Prophet (ﷺ) had mentioned her. So I turned my back and returned, and said to her, “Zainab! Glad tidings to you, the Prophet (ﷺ) has sent me to you, he is mentioning you.” She replied, “I will not do anything until I consult my Lord.” Saying this, she moved towards her prayer place, and in the meantime, a verse of the Noble Qur’an was revealed. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came to her and entered without seeking permission, and in the wedding feast (walimah) of this marriage, the Prophet (ﷺ) fed us bread and meat. Everyone else ate and left, but some people, after eating, sat there and started talking. Seeing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) himself went out of the house. I also came out behind the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ), to pass the time, went to the chambers of his pure wives one by one and greeted them. They would ask, “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! How did you find your wife?” Now I do not remember whether I informed the Prophet (ﷺ) that the people had left, or someone else did. In any case, the Prophet (ﷺ) went from there and entered his house. I also wanted to enter, but the Prophet (ﷺ) hung a curtain, and the verse of hijab was revealed, and people were admonished through it.

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: مَاتَ ابْنٌ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ مِنْ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ. فَقَالَتْ لِأَهْلِهَا: لَا تُحَدِّثُوا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ بِابْنِهِ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا أُحَدِّثُهُ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَ فَقَرَّبَتْ إِلَيْهِ عَشَاءً، فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ تَصَنَّعَتْ لَهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَتْ تَصَنَّعُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَوَقَعَ بِهَا، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ شَبِعَ وَأَصَابَ مِنْهَا، قَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، أَرَأَيْتَ أَنَّ قَوْمًا أَعَارُوا عَارِيَتَهُمْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ، وَطَلَبُوا عَارِيَتَهُمْ أَلَهُمْ أَنْ يَمْنَعُوهُمْ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قَالَتْ: فَاحْتَسِبْ ابْنَكَ، فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا كَانَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكُمَا فِي غَابِرِ لَيْلَتِكُمَا ". قَالَ: فَحَمَلَتْ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَهِيَ مَعَهُ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ لَا يَطْرُقُهَا طُرُوقًا، فَدَنَوْا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَضَرَبَهَا الْمَخَاضُ، وَاحْتَبَسَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ، وَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: يَا رَبِّ، إِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مَعَ رَسُولِكَ إِذَا خَرَجَ، وَأَدْخُلَ مَعَهُ إِذَا دَخَلَ، وَقَدِ احْتَبَسْتُ بِمَا تَرَى، قَالَ: تَقُولُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، مَا أَجِدُ، ، الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَجِدُ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا، قَالَ: وَضَرَبَهَا الْمَخَاضُ حِينَ قَدِمُوا، فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا، فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي: يَا أَنَسُ، لَا يُرْضِعَنَّهُ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى تَغْدُوَ بِهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ احْتَمَلْتُهُ وَانْطَلَقْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَصَادَفْتُهُ وَمَعَهُ مِيسَمٌ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ: " لَعَلَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ وَلَدَتْ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَوَضَعَ الْمِيسَمَ، قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ بِهِ فَوَضَعْتُهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ. قَالَ: وَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَجْوَةٍ مِنْ عَجْوَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَلَاكَهَا فِي فِيهِ حَتَّى ذَابَتْ، ثُمَّ قَذَفَهَا فِي فِي الصَّبِيِّ، فَجَعَلَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَلَمَّظُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " انْظُرُوا إِلَى حُبِّ الْأَنْصَارِ التَّمْرَ "، قَالَ: فَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abu Talha's (may Allah be pleased with him) son was ill, and he passed away. His wife, Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her), instructed the household that none of them should inform Abu Talha of his son's death. When Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) returned, dinner was placed before him; he ate and drank water. Then Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) adorned herself well. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) had relations with her. When she saw that he was fully satisfied, she said to Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Talha! Tell me, if some people borrow something and benefit from it, and then the owner demands its return, can they refuse?" He replied, "No." She said, "Then be patient over your son." In the morning, he went to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned the whole incident. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bless you both in this night." As a result, she became pregnant. The Prophet (ﷺ) was on a journey, and Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) was with him. The Prophet (ﷺ) had a practice that after returning from a journey, he would not enter Madinah at night. When they reached near Madinah, Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) was overcome by severe labor pains, so Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed with her, and the Prophet (ﷺ) went ahead. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Allah! You know that it is most beloved to me that when Your Messenger leaves Madinah, I leave with him, and when he enters, I enter with him, and now You see how I have stayed behind." Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "O Abu Talha! Now I do not feel the pain anymore." So they set out, and upon reaching Madinah, her pain increased again, and eventually a boy was born to her. She said to me, "Anas! Let no woman nurse him; rather, first take him to the Prophet (ﷺ)." So in the morning, I took the child to the Prophet (ﷺ). I saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) was applying tar to his camels. As soon as the Prophet (ﷺ) saw me, he said, "Perhaps a child has been born to Umm Sulaim?" I replied, "Yes!" and placed the child in the Prophet's (ﷺ) lap. The Prophet (ﷺ) called for some 'ajwa dates, took a date, chewed it in his mouth to soften it, gathered his saliva, and put it into the child's mouth, which he began to suck.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: " مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَدَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَطُّ مَا وَجَدَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ بِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ، أَصْحَابِ سَرِيَّةِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، فَمَكَثَ شَهْرًا يَدْعُو عَلَى الَّذِينَ أَصَابُوهُمْ فِي قُنُوتِ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ، يَدْعُو عَلَى رِعْلٍ، وَذَكْوَانَ، وَعُصَيَّةَ، وَلِحْيَانَ، وَهُمْ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ " (١)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) was never as grieved by any army as he was by the army of Bi’r Ma‘unah. The Prophet (ﷺ) recited Qunoot Nazilah in the Fajr prayer for a month and continued to invoke curses upon the tribes of Ri‘l, Dhakwaan, ‘Usayyah, and Banu Lahyan, who had martyred them.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: " لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتْرَ الْحُجْرَةِ، فَرَأَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ، قَالَ: فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهُ وَرَقَةُ مُصْحَفٍ وَهُوَ يَتَبَسَّمُ، قَالَ:، ، وَكِدْنَا أَنْ نُفْتَتَنَ فِي صَلَاتِنَا فَرَحًا لِرُؤْيَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَنْكُصَ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ: كَمَا أَنْتَ، ثُمَّ أَرْخَى السِّتْرَ، فَقُبِضَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ "، فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَمُتْ، وَلَكِنَّ رَبَّهُ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ كَمَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَى مُوسَى، فَمَكَثَ عَنْ قَوْمِهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حَتَّى يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِي رِجَالٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَأَلْسِنَتَهُمْ يَزْعُمُونَ، أَوْ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ مَاتَ (١)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on Monday, the Prophet (ﷺ) lifted the curtain of his blessed chamber. At that time, the people were performing prayer under the leadership of Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him). I saw the blessed face of the Prophet (ﷺ), and it seemed like an open page of the Qur'an. Seeing the Prophet (ﷺ) made us so happy that we were close to falling into a trial. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to move from his place, but the Prophet (ﷺ) signaled him to remain in his place and let the curtain fall, and on that very day, the Prophet (ﷺ) departed from this world. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and began to say that the Prophet (ﷺ) has not passed away; his Lord has sent him a message just as He sent to Musa (peace be upon him), and he remained away from his people for forty nights. By Allah! I hope that the Prophet (ﷺ) will return to physical life so that he may cut off the hands and tongues of those hypocrites who say that the Prophet (ﷺ) has passed away.

Yaqoub narrated to us, my father narrated to us, from Salih ibn Kaysan, he said: Ibn Shihab said, Anas ibn Malik informed me that Abu Bakr used to lead them in prayer during the illness of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in which he passed away, until when it was Monday and they were lined up for prayer, he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, uncovered the curtain of the chamber, and he mentioned its meaning.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the illness of the Prophet’s (ﷺ) passing, Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) began to weep and said, “O my dear father! How close you have come to your Lord. O my dear father! I inform Jibreel (peace be upon him) of your departure. O my dear father! Your abode is Jannat al-Firdous.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: أَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ حِينَ بَايَعَهُنَّ أَنْ لَا يَنُحْنَ، فَقُلْنَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ نِسَاءً أَسْعَدْنَنَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَفَنُسْعِدُهُنَّ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا إِسْعَادَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، وَلَا شِغَارَ، وَلَا عَقْرَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، وَلَا جَلَبَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، وَلَا جَنَبَ، وَمَنْ انْتَهَبَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said while taking the pledge from women that they will not wail (lament), upon which the women said, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! In the time of ignorance, some women had condoled with us, can we condole with them in Islam? The Prophet (ﷺ) said, there is no status for this in Islam. Also, in Islam, there is no status for exchange marriages (watay satay) in which no dowry (mahr) is fixed. In Islam, there is no status for mentioning the names of imaginary beloveds and giving similes in poetry. In Islam, there is no status for becoming an ally of any tribe. It is also not correct for the collector of zakat to select the best wealth or for people to adopt tricks to avoid zakat, and whoever commits looting is not from among us.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "O Anas! I intend to fast, give me something to eat." I brought some dates and a vessel of water. By that time, Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) had already given the call to prayer. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Anas! Find someone who can join me in eating." So I went and brought Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him). He said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I have drunk a drink of sattu and I intend to fast." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I also intend to fast." Then both of them ate suhoor together. After that, the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed two rak'ahs and went out, and the prayer had been established.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I had the honor of serving the Prophet (ﷺ) for ten years, both during travel and at home. It was not necessary that everything I did was pleasing to the Prophet (ﷺ), but the Prophet (ﷺ) never even said "uff" to me. The Prophet (ﷺ) never said to me, "Why did you do this?" or "Why did you not do this?"

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) was returning from Hudaybiyyah, signs of grief and distress were visible on the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) because they had been prevented from performing Umrah and had to sacrifice their animals at Hudaybiyyah itself. At that moment, this verse was revealed to the Prophet (ﷺ): "Indeed, We have given you a clear conquest... a straight path." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Two verses have been revealed to me which are more beloved to me than the whole world." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited them. Upon hearing this, a Muslim said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Congratulations to you, for Allah has granted you this bounty. What is there for us?" Upon this, the following verse was revealed: "That He may admit the believing men and believing women to gardens... a great success."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Soon there will be discord and division in my Ummah, and a group will emerge among them who will recite the Qur'an but it will not go beyond their throats.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) saw some spittle on the direction of the qiblah in the mosque. This thing was so hard on the Prophet (ﷺ) that signs of displeasure became evident on his blessed face. The Prophet (ﷺ) cleaned it and said that when a person stands for prayer, he is conversing with his Lord, so he should spit to his left side or under his foot, and he indicated in such a way that he should take it in his cloth and rub it.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to be very happy when a Bedouin would come and ask the Prophet (ﷺ) a question. So once a Bedouin came and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) be established?" At that time, the Iqamah had been pronounced, so the Prophet (ﷺ) began to lead the prayer. After finishing the prayer, he said, "Where is the one who asked about the Hour?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I am here." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What preparation have you made for the Hour?" He said, "I have not prepared many good deeds, prayers, or fasts, but I do have this much: I love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A person will be with the one whom he loves on the Day of Judgment." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I have never seen the Muslims as happy as they were on that day after accepting Islam."

When the time for the next prayer came, the Prophet (ﷺ) said to them: Follow your Imam; if he prays standing, then you should also pray standing, and if he prays sitting, then you should also pray sitting with him. In short, after 29 days had passed, the Prophet (ﷺ) came down. The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! You had taken an oath of abstention for a month?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Sometimes a month is also of 29 days."

When those two saw the Prophet (ﷺ) leaving his house, they quickly stood up. Now I do not remember whether I informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of their departure or someone else did. In any case, the Prophet (ﷺ) returned home.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: أَعْطَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ غَنَائِمِ حُنَيْنٍ الْأَقْرَعَ بْنَ حَابِسٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ، وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنَ حِصْنٍ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ، فَقَالَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: يُعْطِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَنَائِمَنَا نَاسًا تَقْطُرُ سُيُوفُهُمْ مِنْ دِمَائِنَا، أَوْ تَقْطُرُ سُيُوفُنَا مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ، فَبَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ: " هَلْ فِيكُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ؟ " قَالُوا: لَا، إِلَّا ابْنُ أُخْتٍ لَنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ، أَقُلْتُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا، أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالدُّنْيَا، وَتَذْهَبُونَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى دِيَارِكُمْ؟ " قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا أَوْ (٣) شِعْبًا، أَخَذْتُ وَادِيَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَوْ شِعْبَهُمْ، الْأَنْصَارُ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي، وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنَ، ، الْأَنْصَارِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn, when Allah granted the spoils of Banu Hawazin to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) began giving one hundred camels each to Uyaina, Aqra’, and others, some of the Ansar said, "May Allah forgive the Prophet (peace be upon him); he is giving to the Quraysh and ignoring us, while the drops of blood are still dripping from our swords." When the Prophet (peace be upon him) learned of this, he called the Ansari companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and said, "Are you not pleased that people go away with wealth and property, and you return home with the Messenger of Allah?" They replied, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)!" Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace be upon him), if people were to walk in one valley and the Ansar in another, I would choose the valley and mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar are my shield, and if there had been no migration, I would have been one of the Ansar."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that my uncle Anas bin Nadr could not participate in the Battle of Badr with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and he was regretful about it. He used to say, "I could not participate in the very first battle with the Prophet (peace be upon him). If now Allah grants me the opportunity to go to any battle with the Prophet (peace be upon him), then Allah will see what I do." Thus, he participated in the Battle of Uhud with the Prophet (peace be upon him). On that occasion, when the Muslims were scattered, he said, "O Allah! I seek excuse from You for what my companions have done, and I declare my disassociation from the attack of the polytheists." Then he moved forward and saw Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) coming towards him from the front. He said to him, "Abu Amr! Where are you going? By Allah! I am smelling the fragrance of Paradise from behind Uhud." Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I am with you." But later he used to say, "What Sa'd bin Mu'adh did, I could not do." And more than eighty marks of spears, swords, and arrows were found on his body. We used to think that this verse was revealed about Sa'd bin Mu'adh and other companions like him: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah; some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting."

Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) turned back and asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! May my parents be sacrificed for you, who will lead the people in prayer?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." When Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward to lead the prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) drew back the curtain of his house. It seemed as if a white paper was there and a sheet had been placed over it. Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to step back, thinking that the Prophet (ﷺ) wished to come for the prayer, but the Prophet (ﷺ) signaled to him to remain standing and complete the prayer. Thus, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in prayer, and after that, we did not see the Prophet (ﷺ).

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ), and he was wearing a Najrani cloak with thick borders. On the way, a Bedouin met us and he pulled the cloak of the Prophet (ﷺ) so hard that it tore and its marks appeared on the blessed neck of the Prophet (ﷺ). The only change that appeared in the Prophet (ﷺ) was that he ordered something to be given to him, and it was given to him.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَعَثَ حَرَامًا خَالَهُ أَخَا (١) أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ فِي سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا، فَقُتِلُوا يَوْمَ بِئْرِ مَعُونَةَ، وَكَانَ رَئِيسُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَامِرُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ، وَكَانَ هُوَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: اخْتَرْ مِنِّي ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ: يَكُونُ لَكَ أَهْلُ السَّهْلِ، وَيَكُونُ لِي أَهْلُ الْوَبَرِ، أَوْ أَكُونُ خَلِيفَةً مِنْ بَعْدِكَ، أَوْ أَغْزُوكَ بِغَطَفَانَ أَلْفِ أَشْقَرَ وَأَلْفِ شَقْرَاءَ، قَالَ: فَطُعِنَ (٢) فِي بَيْتِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي فُلَانٍ فَقَالَ: غُدَّةٌ كَغُدَّةِ الْبَعِيرِ فِي بَيْتِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي فُلَانٍ، ائْتُونِي بِفَرَسِي، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَرَكِبَهُ، فَمَاتَ وَهُوَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ، فَانْطَلَقَ حَرَامٌ أَخُو أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ، وَرَجُلَانِ مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ، (٣) وَرَجُلٌ أَعْرَجُ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: كُونُوا قَرِيبًا مِنِّي حَتَّى آتِيَهُمْ، فَإِنْ آمَنُونِي، وَإِلَّا كُنْتُمْ قَرِيبًا، فَإِنْ قَتَلُونِي أَعْلَمْتُمْ أَصْحَابَكُمْ، قَالَ: فَأَتَاهُمْ حَرَامٌ فَقَالَ: أَتُؤْمِنُونِي أُبَلِّغْكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ، إِلَيْكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ وَأَوْمَئُوا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ، فَطَعَنَهُ حَتَّى أَنْفَذَهُ بِالرُّمْحِ، قَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ فُزْتُ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُمْ كُلَّهُمْ غَيْرَ الْأَعْرَجِ، كَانَ فِي رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا وَكَانَ مِمَّا يُقْرَأُ، فَنُسِخَ: أَنْ بَلِّغُوا قَوْمَنَا، أَنَّا لَقِينَا رَبَّنَا، فَرَضِيَ عَنَّا، وَأَرْضَانَا، قَالَ: " فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا: عَلَى رِعْلٍ، وَذَكْوَانَ، وَبَنِي لِحْيَانَ، وَعُصَيَّةَ الَّذِينَ عَصَوْا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) sent his maternal uncle Haram (may Allah be pleased with him)—who was the brother of Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her)—with those seventy companions (may Allah be pleased with them) who were martyred at the incident of Bi’r Ma‘unah. At that time, the leader of the polytheists was ‘Amir bin Tufayl. He once came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “Accept one of three things regarding me: either the city dwellers be with you and the villagers be with me, or I be appointed as your successor after you, otherwise I will fight you with a thousand red and yellow horses and a thousand red and yellow camels from Banu Ghatafan.” Later, someone wounded him with a spear in the house of a woman from a certain tribe, and he began to say, “I have gotten a boil in the house of such-and-such tribe’s woman, like the one that appears in a camel. Bring me my horse.” He mounted the horse but did not get to dismount from its back; he died on the way. Haram (may Allah be pleased with him) set out with two men, one of whom belonged to Banu Umayyah and the other was lame. He said to both of them, “Stay close to me until I return. If you find me safe, that is very good; otherwise, if they kill me, you will be near me, and go inform the rest of the companions.” Saying this, Haram (may Allah be pleased with him) proceeded. Upon reaching the relevant tribe, he said, “Do I have permission to convey the message of the Prophet (ﷺ) to you?” They granted permission. Haram (may Allah be pleased with him) began to mention the message before them, and the enemies signaled to a man from behind, who came from behind and thrust a spear through him so that it passed through his body. Haram (may Allah be pleased with him) fell, saying, “Allahu Akbar! By the Lord of the Ka‘bah, I have succeeded!” Then they martyred all the companions (may Allah be pleased with them), except the lame man, who survived because he had climbed to the top of a mountain. In this context, the following revelation was sent down—“which was recited earlier and was later abrogated”—that, “Convey this message to our people: We have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us and has made us pleased.” Meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) continued to supplicate against the tribes of Ri‘l, Dhakwan, Banu Lihyan, and ‘Usayyah—“who had disobeyed Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ)”—for forty days.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, he had Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) seated behind him. Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) was elderly and well-known, whereas the Prophet (ﷺ) was young and not widely recognized. Therefore, if anyone met them on the way and asked, "Abu Bakr! Who is this person ahead of you?" he would reply, "He is showing me the way." The listener would think that the Prophet (ﷺ) was showing him the way, while Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) meant the way of goodness by this. Once, on the way, Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) looked back and saw that a horseman had come very close to them. He said to the Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! This rider has reached us." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards him and said, "O Allah! Make him fall." At that very moment, his horse threw him off its back and stood neighing. The horseman said, "O Messenger of Allah! Give me a command." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go back to your place and do not let anyone reach us." In the early part of the day, that person was striving against the Prophet (ﷺ), but by the end of the day, he became a weapon for the Prophet (ﷺ). Thus, as they continued their journey, the Prophet (ﷺ) reached a rocky area and camped there, and sent for the Ansar. They came, greeted both of them, and said, "Ride with peace and tranquility and come." So the Prophet (ﷺ) and Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) mounted, and the Ansar surrounded them with armed guards for protection. Meanwhile, in Madinah Munawwarah, it was announced that the Prophet (ﷺ) had arrived. People began peeking out to see the Prophet (ﷺ) and started chanting, "The Messenger of Allah has come!" The Prophet (ﷺ) walked until he reached the house of Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) and dismounted there. While the Prophet (ﷺ) was talking to the household, Abdullah bin Salam heard the news. At that time, he was cutting dates in his orchard for his family. He quickly cut the dates, took them with him, and presented himself before the Prophet (ﷺ), listened to his words, and then returned home. Meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) asked the people, "Among our relatives, whose house is the closest?" Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) presented himself and said, "This is my house and this is my door." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then go and arrange a place for us to rest." Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) went and made the arrangements, then returned and said, "O Messenger of Allah! The arrangement for rest has been made. Both of you please come and rest with the blessing of Allah." When the Prophet (ﷺ) arrived, Abdullah bin Salam also came to him and said, "I bear witness that you are the true Messenger of Allah and have come with the truth. The Jews know that I am their chief, son of a chief, and a scholar, son of a scholar. Call them and ask them." So they came, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to them, "O group of Jews! Fear Allah, by Allah, besides whom there is no deity. You know that I am the true Messenger of Allah and I have come to you with the truth, so accept Islam." They said, "We do not know anything."

In the beginning, wherever the time for prayer occurred, the Prophet (ﷺ) would pray there, even in the sheep pens. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered a mosque to be built and called the people of Banu Najjar and said to them, "O Banu Najjar! Settle the price of this garden with me." They replied, "We will take its price only from Allah." At that time, there were some graves of polytheists, a wasteland, and a tree there. At the command of the Prophet (ﷺ), the graves of the polytheists were dug up, the wasteland was leveled, and the tree was cut down. A tree was planted towards the qiblah side of the mosque, and the doors were made of stone. People would hand bricks to the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) would say, "O Allah! The real goodness is the goodness of the Hereafter. O Allah! Grant victory to the Ansar and the Muhajirin."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Ansar gathered together and came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "How long will we keep drawing water from wells? Let us go to the Prophet (ﷺ) so that he may supplicate to Allah for us to cause springs to flow from these mountains." When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw them, he said, "Welcome, O Ansar! By Allah! Today, whatever you ask of me, I will give you, and whatever I ask Allah for you, Allah will surely grant it to me." Hearing this, they said to one another, "Consider this an opportunity and ask for forgiveness for your sins." So they said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Supplicate to Allah for our forgiveness." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Forgive the Ansar, the children of the Ansar, and the children of the children of the Ansar." They said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! What about our other offspring, are they not included among us?" The Prophet (ﷺ) included them in the supplication as well. Then they mentioned their freed slaves, so the Prophet (ﷺ) included them too.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) in Madinah, people used to give date trees and other property from their wealth to the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) would distribute them among the people.

Seeing this, my family instructed me to also go to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and request that their family had given two trees. Anyway! Upon my request, the Prophet (ﷺ) returned them to me. Meanwhile, Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) also came and put a cloth around my neck and said, "By Allah, besides whom there is no deity, the Prophet (ﷺ) can never give you these trees when he has already given them to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "You may take so many trees in exchange for them," but she kept refusing, and the Prophet (ﷺ) kept increasing the number of trees, until she was pleased with ten times more trees, and the Prophet (ﷺ) gave them to her.

When the Prophet (ﷺ) reached him, he said, "Stay away from me, the smell of your donkey is troubling me." Upon this, an Ansari said, "By Allah! The donkey of the Prophet (ﷺ) is more fragrant than you." Then a man from the people of Abdullah bin Ubayy became angry on his behalf, and then anger spread among the companions of both sides, and it came to the point of fighting with branches, hands, and shoes. We came to know that this verse was revealed about them: "If two groups of Muslims fight each other, then make peace between them."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاوَرَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَتَكَلَّمَ أَبُو، ، بَكْرٍ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ عُمَرُ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِيَّانَا تُرِيدُ؟ فَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نُخِيضَهَا الْبَحْرَ لَأَخَضْنَاهَا، وَلَوْ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نَضْرِبَ أَكْبَادَهَا إِلَى بَرْكِ الْغِمَادِ فَعَلْنَا، فَشَأْنَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَنَدَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَصْحَابَهُ، فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى نَزَلَ بَدْرًا وَجَاءَتْ رَوَايَا قُرَيْشٍ، وَفِيهِمْ غُلَامٌ لِبَنِي الْحَجَّاجِ أَسْوَدُ، فَأَخَذَهُ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ، فَلَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ، وَلَكِنْ هَذِهِ قُرَيْشٌ، وَأَبُو جَهْلٍ وَأُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَدْ جَاءَتْ. فَيَضْرِبُونَهُ، فَإِذَا ضَرَبُوهُ قَالَ: نَعَمْ هَذَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ، فَإِذَا تَرَكُوهُ، فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ: مَا لِي بِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ، وَلَكِنْ هَذِهِ قُرَيْشٌ قَدْ جَاءَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي، فَانْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّكُمْ لَتَضْرِبُونَهُ إِذَا صَدَقَكُمْ، وَتَدَعُونَهُ إِذَا كَذَبَكُمْ ". وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ فَوَضَعَهَا، فَقَالَ: " هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلَانٍ غَدًا، وَهَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلَانٍ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى ". فَالْتَقَوْا فَهَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَوَاللهِ مَا أَمَاطَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ كَفَّيِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَقَدْ جَيَّفُوا فَقَالَ:، " يَا أَبَا جَهْلٍ يَا عُتْبَةُ يَا شَيْبَةُ يَا أُمَيَّةُ: هَلْ (١) وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا؟ فَإِنِّي قَدْ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي حَقًّا ". فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، تَدْعُوهُمْ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَقَدْ جَيَّفُوا؟ فَقَالَ: "مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ جَوَابًا ". فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ، فَجُرُّوا بِأَرْجُلِهِمْ، فَأُلْقُوا فِي قَلِيبِ بَدْرٍ (٢)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) set out towards Badr, he consulted the people. In response, Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an opinion. Then, when he asked for advice again, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an opinion. Seeing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent. The Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah! Perhaps you mean us?" Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if you command us, we will plunge into the seas, and if you command us, we will go to Bark al-Ghamad, driving the camels to exhaustion. Therefore, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), the matter is in your hands." The Prophet (ﷺ) then prepared his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and set out, and camped at Badr. Some spies from the Quraysh came, among them was a black slave from Banu Hajjaj. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) captured him and asked him about Abu Sufyan and his companions. He said, "I do not know about Abu Sufyan, but the Quraysh, Abu Jahl, and Umayyah bin Khalaf have arrived." When they beat him, he would start telling them about Abu Sufyan, and when they let him go, he would say, "What do I know about Abu Sufyan? But the Quraysh have arrived." At that time, the Prophet (ﷺ) was praying. After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When he tells you the truth, you beat him, and when he lies, you let him go." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) pointed with his hand and said, "If Allah wills, tomorrow so-and-so will fall here, and so-and-so will fall here." Thus, when the confrontation took place, Allah defeated the polytheists, and by Allah, not a single man fell except at the place the Prophet (ﷺ) had indicated. After three days, the Prophet (ﷺ) went to their corpses and said, "O Abu Jahl bin Hisham! O Utbah bin Rabi'ah! O Shaybah bin Rabi'ah! And O Umayyah bin Khalaf! Did you find true what your Lord promised you? I have found true what my Lord promised me." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Are you calling out to people who have been dead for three days?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You do not hear what I am saying any better than they do, but they cannot reply." Then, by the order of the Prophet (ﷺ), they were dragged by their feet and thrown into the well of Badr. It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) set out towards Badr, he consulted the people. In response, Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an opinion. Then, when he asked for advice again, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an opinion. Seeing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent. The Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Perhaps you mean us?" Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if you command us, we will plunge into the seas, and if you command us, we will go to Bark al-Ghamad, driving the camels to exhaustion..."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man presented himself in the court of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! A man loves a people but cannot reach their deeds, so what is the ruling?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A person will be with those whom he loves." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after Islam, I have not seen the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) happier about anything than this. We love the Prophet (ﷺ), even though we do not have the strength to do deeds like his; when we are with him, that is enough for us.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I have never smelled ambergris, musk, or any other fragrance more pleasant than the scent of the Prophet (ﷺ), and I have never touched silk, brocade, or anything softer than the Prophet (ﷺ). (Thabit says: I asked, O Abu Hamza! Did you see the Prophet (ﷺ) or did you not hear his voice? Your little servant is present.) I served the Prophet (ﷺ) in Madinah Munawwarah for ten years; at that time, I was a boy. It is not possible that everything I did was according to someone else's wish, but the Prophet (ﷺ) never even said "uff" to me, nor did he ever say, "Why did you do this?" or "Why did you not do this?"

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was running with the children, and when the children would say, "Muhammad (peace be upon him) has come," I would run so fast that I could see nothing. When the children would say the same words again, I would again start running so fast that I could see nothing, until the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his honorable companion Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived. At that time, we were in some area of Madinah. We sent a villager to the Ansar with this news, and about five hundred Ansari companions (may Allah be pleased with them) set out to welcome the Prophet (peace be upon him). When those people reached the Prophet (peace be upon him) and Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him), they said, "Both of you enter as obeyed leaders with peace and security." The Prophet (peace be upon him) and Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) kept walking ahead of them, and all the people of Madinah came out, even the women climbed onto the roofs of their houses to see the Prophet (peace be upon him) and began asking each other, "Which one is the Prophet (peace be upon him)?" We had never seen a scene like that day. I also saw the day when the Prophet (peace be upon him) entered Madinah Munawwarah, and I saw the day when he (peace be upon him) departed from this world. I have never seen a scene like those two days.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: A man remains involved in such sins for a long period that if he were to die in that state, he would enter Hell. But then a change occurs in him and he becomes engaged in good deeds.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Soon there will be discord and division in my Ummah, and a group will emerge among them who will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. You will consider your prayers insignificant compared to their prayers, and your fasts insignificant compared to their fasts. They will go out of the religion just as an arrow passes through its prey; just as an arrow never returns to its bow, these people will never return to the religion. They will be the worst of creation. Glad tidings are for the one who kills them or is killed by them. They will call towards the Book of Allah, but they will have nothing to do with it. Whoever fights them will be as close to Allah as possible. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! What will be their sign?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Their sign will be shaving their heads.

When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) be established?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "What preparation have you made for the Hour?" He said, "Nothing except that I love Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You will be with those whom you love." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after embracing Islam, I never saw the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) as happy about anything as they were about this. We love the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), even though we do not have the strength to perform deeds like theirs. When we are with them, that will be enough for us.

Humaid says that a person asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Prophet (ﷺ) used to apply dye. He replied that old age did not become apparent on the Prophet (ﷺ); if I wanted to count the white hairs in the beard of the Prophet (ﷺ), I could count them. However, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) used to dye his hair with henna and katam, while Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to dye his hair only with henna.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day when alcohol was made unlawful, I was serving drinks to some friends at the house of Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him). A Muslim came and said, "Do you not know that alcohol has been made unlawful?" Upon hearing this, they said to me, "Go outside and see." I went outside and heard the voice of a caller announcing, "O people! Alcohol has been made unlawful." I informed Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said, "Go and pour out all the alcohol that is in your vessel." So I went and poured it away. On this occasion, some people said that Suhail bin Bayda has perished because there was alcohol in his stomach. Upon this, Allah revealed this verse: "There is no sin upon those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they consumed before..." At that time, only nabidh made by mixing unripe and ripe dates was present; this was the alcohol of that time.

He replied, "I have not prepared many good deeds, prayers, or fasts, but I do love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A person will be with the one whom he loves on the Day of Judgment." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I have never seen the Muslims as happy as they were on that day after accepting Islam."

Anas bin Sirin, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once we visited Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, on a Thursday. He called for a dining mat for us and invited us to eat.

Seeing this, Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "Perhaps you are among those who fast on Mondays and Thursdays." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would sometimes fast so much that we would think that this year the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not intend to leave any fasts, and sometimes he would break his fast so much that we would think that this year the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not intend to fast at all. And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, liked to fast in the month of Sha'ban the most.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: When a person is buried and his companions leave, the deceased hears the sound of their footsteps. Then two angels come and make him sit up and ask him about the Prophet (ﷺ): "What do you know about this man?" If he is a believer, he says: "I bear witness that Muhammad (ﷺ) is the servant of Allah and His Messenger." Then a door to Hell is opened for him and it is said to him: "If you had disbelieved in your Lord, this would have been your abode. But since you believed in Him, your abode is elsewhere." Then a door to Paradise is opened for him, his grave is expanded seventy cubits, and greenery is poured upon him. And if he is a disbeliever or a hypocrite, when the angel asks him: "What do you know about this man?" he replies: "I do not know anything, I only heard people saying something." The angel says to him: "You neither knew nor recited nor were guided." Then the angel strikes him with such a blow from his mace that all of Allah's creation except jinn and mankind hear its sound. Some narrators also say that his grave is made so narrow that his ribs interlock with each other.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was playing with children, when the Prophet (ﷺ) came and greeted us, then he took my hand and sent me for some task, and he himself sat in the shade of a wall until I returned and delivered the message with which the Prophet (ﷺ) had sent me. When I reached home, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) (my mother) asked, "Why did you take so long?" I told her that the Prophet (ﷺ) had sent me for some task. She asked, "What was the task?" I said, "It is a secret." She said, "Then protect the secret of the Prophet (ﷺ)." Thus, after that, I never disclosed it to anyone.

Similarly, in some months, the Prophet (ﷺ) would fast so continuously that we would think he would not leave any fast, and at other times he would leave fasting to the extent that we would say perhaps now the Prophet (ﷺ) will not fast anymore.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the command of veiling (purdah) was revealed, I know the circumstances of that time better than anyone else. That night, the Prophet (ﷺ) was in seclusion with Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), and in the morning the Prophet (ﷺ) was a bridegroom. After that, the Prophet (ﷺ) invited the people, they came, ate food, and left, but some people remained sitting there and continued to sit for quite a while, until the Prophet (ﷺ) himself got up and went outside. I also went outside so that they might leave as well. The Prophet (ﷺ) and I, while walking, stopped at the threshold of Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) chamber. The Prophet (ﷺ) thought that perhaps those people had now left, so the Prophet (ﷺ) returned, and I was with him, but those people were still sitting there. The same thing happened again, but this time those people had actually left. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered inside and hung a curtain, and Allah revealed the verse of hijab.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was no one who performed the Asr prayer more quickly than the Prophet (ﷺ). Among the Ansar, there were two men whose houses were the farthest from the Prophet’s Mosque. One was Abu Lubabah bin Abdul Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu Amr bin Auf, and the other was Abu Abas bin Jabr (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu Harithah. Abu Lubabah’s (may Allah be pleased with him) house was in Quba, and Abu Abas’s (may Allah be pleased with him) house was in Banu Harithah. Both of them would perform the Asr prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ), and when they returned to their people, they had not yet performed the Asr prayer, because the Prophet (ﷺ) used to perform it quickly.

We had not sat down nor asked about him except while standing. He said: Then we left and entered upon Anas ibn Malik in his house, which was next to the house of Abu Talhah. He said: When we sat down, the servant girl came to him and said: The prayer, O Abu Hamzah! He said: We said: Which prayer, may Allah have mercy on you? He said: ‘Asr. He said: So we said: We have just prayed Dhuhr now! He said: He replied: You have delayed the prayer until you forgot it, or he said: You forgot it until you delayed it. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “I and the Hour have been sent like these two,” and he joined his index and middle fingers.

Ziyad bin Abi Ziyad (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once, after Umar and I had finished offering the Zuhr prayer—which was led by Hisham bin Isma'il, as he was the governor of Madinah at that time—we went to inquire about the health of Amr bin Abdullah. We did not sit there; we only asked about his condition while standing. Then we went to visit Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), whose house was next to the house of Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him). As soon as we sat down there, a slave girl came to him and said, "O Abu Hamzah! The time for prayer has come." We asked, "May Allah's mercy be upon you, which prayer?" He replied, "The Asr prayer." We said, "We have just offered the Zuhr prayer." He said, "You have neglected the prayer to the extent that you have forgotten it. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'I and the Hour have been sent like these two fingers together.'" Saying this, he pointed with his index and middle fingers and extended them. Hadith number (13509) is also narrated through this second chain.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade visiting graveyards, eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, and drinking nabidh from dubba, naqir, hantam, and muzaffat vessels. Then, after some time had passed, he said: I had previously forbidden you from three things, but now my opinion about them has become clear. I had forbidden you from visiting graveyards, but now my opinion is that it softens the hearts, brings tears to the eyes, and reminds one of the Hereafter, so visit the graveyards, but do not speak indecently. Similarly, I had forbidden you from eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, but now my opinion is that people give this meat as gifts to their guests and keep it stored for those who are absent, so you may keep it for as long as you wish. Also, I had forbidden you from drinking nabidh in those vessels, but now you may drink from whichever vessel you wish, but do not drink anything intoxicating. Now, whoever wishes may seal the mouth of his waterskin against something sinful.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards us after finishing the prayer and said: Indeed, I see you from in front of me as well as from behind me.

What have you seen?" He replied, "I have seen Paradise and Hell with my own eyes." O people! I am your Imam, so do not go ahead of me in bowing, prostration, standing, sitting, or finishing (the prayer), for I see you from in front of me as well as from behind me.

But today you said, 'If I am grateful,' so I became doubtful, and thus I remained silent."

I also went outside so that they might leave as well, but they kept sitting. This happened repeatedly. Meanwhile, Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) was sitting in a corner. The Prophet (ﷺ) felt shy to say anything to them regarding her. On this occasion, this verse was revealed: "O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless you are invited for a meal," and do not wait for its preparation. But when you are invited, then enter. Then, at the command of the Prophet (ﷺ), the curtain was drawn.

The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes!" The angel said, "Remember! Your ummah will kill him. If you wish, I can show you the place where he will be martyred." Saying this, the angel struck his hand, and there came red soil in his hand. Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) took that soil and tied it in her scarf.

Allah has given you power over them; yesterday they were your brothers." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) again stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Allow me to strike off all their necks." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned away from his suggestion and for the third time repeated his words. This time, Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! In our opinion, you should forgive them and accept ransom from them." Upon hearing this, the sadness disappeared from the face of the Prophet (ﷺ), and he forgave them and accepted ransom from them.

So I went to him and conveyed to him exactly as I was told: that the Prophet (ﷺ) has sent me to you so that you may send to the Prophet (ﷺ) those clothes which are with Maysarah. He said, "Who is Maysarah? Which Maysarah? By God! Muhammad (ﷺ) does not have even a single goat or shepherd." Hearing this, I returned. As soon as the Prophet (ﷺ) saw me, he said, "The enemy of Allah has lied. I am the best of those who buy and sell. If any one of you gathers scraps of cloth and makes a garment out of them and wears it, it is far better than taking possession of something from a trust to which he has no right."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ مَوْضِعُ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ، وَكَانَ فِيهِ حَرْثٌ وَنَخْلٌ وَقُبُورُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ: " يَا بَنِي النَّجَّارِ، ثَامِنُونِي بِهِ "، فَقَالُوا: لَا نَبْتَغِي بِهِ ثَمَنًا إِلَّا عِنْدَ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَقَطَعَ النَّخْلَ، وَسَوَّى الْحَرْثَ، وَنَبَشَ قُبُورَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ يُصَلِّي حَيْثُ أَدْرَكَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ، وَفِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ وَهُمْ يَنْقُلُونَ الصَّخْرَ لِبِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ: " اللهُمَّ إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرُ الْآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ " (١)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, he stayed in the upper part of Madinah in the neighborhood of Banu Amr bin Awf and remained there for fourteen nights. Then he sent for the chiefs of Banu Najjar. They came with their swords hanging by their sides. That scene is still before my eyes: the Prophet (ﷺ) was on his mount, Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was behind him, and Banu Najjar were around them, until the Prophet (ﷺ) reached the courtyard of Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). In the beginning, wherever the time for prayer occurred, the Prophet (ﷺ) would pray there, even in a goat enclosure. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered a mosque to be built and called the people of Banu Najjar and said to them, "O Banu Najjar! Settle the price of this garden with me." They replied, "We will take its price only from Allah." At that time, there were some graves of polytheists, a wasteland, and a tree there. At the command of the Prophet (ﷺ), the graves of the polytheists were dug up, the wasteland was leveled, and the tree was cut down. A tree was planted towards the qiblah side of the mosque, and the doors were made of stone. People would hand bricks to the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) would say, "O Allah! The real life is the life of the Hereafter. O Allah! Help the Ansar and the Muhajirin." It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When any one of you comes for prayer, he should walk calmly. Whatever part of the prayer he catches, he should pray, and whatever he misses, he should complete it (afterwards)."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, all the Muslims will gather together. This thought will be put into their hearts and they will say: If we take someone to intercede before our Lord, perhaps He will grant us relief from this place. So they will go to Adam (peace be upon him) and say: O Adam! You are the father of mankind, Allah created you with His own hand, made the angels prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things. Therefore, intercede for us with our Lord so that He may deliver us from this place. Adam (peace be upon him) will reply: I am not worthy of this, and he will remember his mistake and feel shy before his Lord and say: Go to Nuh (peace be upon him), for he was the first messenger whom Allah sent to the people of the earth. So they will all go to Nuh (peace be upon him) and say to him: Intercede for us with your Lord. He will reply: What you seek is not with me. Go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), for Allah made him His close friend (Khalil). So they will all go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and he will also say: What you seek is not with me, but go to Musa (peace be upon him), for Allah spoke to him directly and gave him the Torah. Musa (peace be upon him) will also excuse himself, saying: I killed a person unjustly, but go to Isa (peace be upon him), who was Allah’s servant, His messenger, His word, and a spirit from Him. But Isa (peace be upon him) will also excuse himself and say: Go to Muhammad (ﷺ), he will intercede for you, whose past and future mistakes Allah has forgiven. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: I will seek permission to present myself before my Lord, and I will be granted permission. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration. Allah will let me remain in prostration as long as He wills. Then it will be said to me: O Muhammad (ﷺ)! Raise your head, whatever you say will be heard, whatever you ask will be granted, and whoever you intercede for, your intercession will be accepted. So I will raise my head and praise Allah with such praises as He will teach me, then I will intercede, and Allah will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise and return again. This will happen three times. The fourth time I will say: O Lord! Only those remain whom the Qur’an has held back, meaning for whom Hell has become obligatory. Then Qatadah recited the verse of Maqam Mahmood and declared this to be the Maqam Mahmood.

At the time when the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his blessed hands, we could not see any clouds in the sky, but when the rain started, it did not seem to stop. When the next Friday came, the same man requested, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Pray for the rain to stop." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed to Allah, and I saw that the clouds dispersed to the right and left, and not a single drop was falling inside Madinah.

I ask You, for all praise is for You alone, there is no deity except You, You are the Most Gracious, the Originator of the heavens and the earth without any precedent, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, I ask You."

And by the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you had seen what I have seen, you would laugh little and weep much. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)!

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It has become obligatory." Then another funeral passed, and the people spoke ill of the deceased. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It has become obligatory." Then he said, "You are Allah's witnesses on the earth."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَكْتُبُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِذَا أَمْلَى، ، عَلَيْهِ " سَمِيعًا "، يَقُولُ: كَتَبْتُ سَمِيعًا بَصِيرًا، قَالَ: " دَعْهُ "، وَإِذَا أَمْلَى عَلَيْهِ " عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا "، كَتَبَ: عَلِيمًا حَلِيمًا - قَالَ حَمَّادٌ نَحْوَ ذَا - قَالَ: وَكَانَ قَدْ قَرَأَ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ، وَكَانَ مَنْ قَرَأَهُمَا قَدْ قَرَأَ قُرْآنًا كَثِيرًا، فَذَهَبَ فَتَنَصَّرَ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ مَا شِئْتُ فَيَقُولُ: " دَعْهُ "، فَمَاتَ فَدُفِنَ فَنَبَذَتْهُ الْأَرْضُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: " وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ مَنْبُوذًا فَوْقَ الْأَرْضِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a man who used to write for the Prophet (ﷺ). He had also memorized Surah Al-Baqarah and Aal-e-Imran. The Prophet (ﷺ) would dictate to him "Sami'an" and he would write "Sami'an Basiran" instead. The Prophet (ﷺ) would say, "Write it like this," but he would say, "I will write as I wish." Similarly, when the Prophet (ﷺ) would dictate "Aleema," he would write "Aleema Hakeema" instead. After some time, that man became an apostate and turned Christian, and began to say, "I used to write whatever I wanted for Muhammad (ﷺ) among you all." When that man died, he was buried, but the earth threw him out. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) told me that he went to the place where that man had died and found him lying outside.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn, when Allah granted the spoils of Banu Hawazin to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) began giving one hundred camels each to Uyaina, Aqra’, and others, some of the Ansar said, "May Allah forgive the Prophet (peace be upon him); he is giving to the Quraysh and ignoring us, while the drops of blood are still dripping from our swords." When the Prophet (peace be upon him) learned of this, he called the Ansari companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and said, "Are you not pleased that people go away with wealth and property, and you return home with the Messenger of Allah?" They replied, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)!" Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace be upon him), if people were to walk in one valley and the Ansar in another, I would choose the valley and mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar are my shield, and if there had been no migration, I would have been one of the Ansar."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Khaybar, I was riding behind Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) and my feet were touching the feet of the Prophet (ﷺ). When we reached there, the sun had already risen and the people of Khaybar had taken out their cattle and had come out with their axes and mattocks. When they saw us, they said, "Muhammad (ﷺ) and his army have come." The Prophet (ﷺ) said "Allahu Akbar" and declared, "Khaybar is destroyed, destroyed. When we descend into the courtyard of a people, the morning of those who have been warned is the worst." Allah Almighty inflicted defeat upon them. He further says that Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), who was very beautiful, came into the share of Dihyah Kalbi (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (ﷺ) bought her in exchange for seven persons and, after purchasing her, sent her to Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) so that she could adorn and prepare her as a bride. The Prophet (ﷺ) gathered dates, cheese, and ghee for her wedding feast. Halwa was prepared from it and, after spreading a dining cloth, it was placed on it. People ate from it to their fill. During this, people began to wonder whether the Prophet (ﷺ) would marry her or keep her as a slave. But when the Prophet (ﷺ) made her ride on a mount, arranged a curtain, and seated her behind him, people understood that the Prophet (ﷺ) had married her. When they neared Madinah Munawwarah, people, according to their custom, began to dismount by jumping off their mounts. The Prophet (ﷺ) also began to dismount in the same way, but the she-camel slipped and the Prophet (ﷺ) fell to the ground, and Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) also fell. The other noble wives were watching and said, "May Allah double this Jewess and do such and such to her." Meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up and arranged a curtain for her, then seated her behind him. I asked, "O Abu Hamzah! Did the Prophet (ﷺ) really fall?" He replied, "Yes! By Allah, he fell." It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was also present at the wedding feast of Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), and at this wedding feast, the Prophet (ﷺ) fed the people plenty of bread and meat. All the others ate and left, but two men, after eating, sat there and began to talk. Seeing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) himself went out of the house. I also came out behind the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ), to pass the time, went to the chambers of his noble wives one by one and greeted them. They would ask, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! How did you find your wife?" The Prophet (ﷺ) would reply, "Very good." Then, when he reached the door of his house, those two were still sitting and talking. When they saw the Prophet (ﷺ) returning, they stood up and left. Now I do not remember whether I informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of their departure or someone else did. In any case, the Prophet (ﷺ) entered his house from there. I also wanted to enter, but the Prophet (ﷺ) hung a curtain and the verse of hijab was revealed.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that among the Jews, when a woman was menstruating, they would neither eat nor drink with her, nor would they stay together in the same house. The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about this, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "They ask you about menstruating women. Say: It is a harm, so keep away from women during menstruation and do not approach them until they are purified." After reciting this verse in full, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You may do everything except intercourse." When the Jews learned of this, they said: "This man opposes us in every matter." Then Usayd bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abbad bin Bishr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The Jews are saying such and such things. Should we not even go near our wives? (So that we may completely oppose the Jews.)" Upon hearing this, the color of the blessed face of the Prophet (ﷺ) changed, and we thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) was displeased with them. Both of them also left from there, but shortly after, a gift of milk was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ), so the Prophet (ﷺ) called both of them and gave it to them to drink. In this way, they understood that the Prophet (ﷺ) was not displeased with them.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that all the prayers of the Prophet (ﷺ) were almost equal in length, and likewise were the prayers of Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him). However, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) started making the Fajr prayer longer, and sometimes the Prophet (ﷺ) would raise his head from prostration or bowing and would pause for so long between the two that we would begin to think that perhaps the Prophet (ﷺ) had forgotten.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, all the Muslims will gather together. This thought will be put into their hearts and they will say: If we take someone to intercede before our Lord, perhaps He will grant us relief from this place. So they will go to Adam (peace be upon him) and say: O Adam! You are the father of mankind, Allah created you with His own hand, made the angels prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things. Therefore, intercede for us with our Lord so that He may deliver us from this place. Adam (peace be upon him) will reply: I am not worthy of this, and he will remember his mistake and feel shy before his Lord and say: Go to Nuh (peace be upon him), for he was the first messenger whom Allah sent to the people of the earth. So all the people will go to Nuh (peace be upon him) and say to him: Intercede for us with your Lord. He will reply: What you seek is not with me. Go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), for Allah made him His close friend (Khalil). So all the people will go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and he will also say: What you seek is not with me, but go to Musa (peace be upon him), for Allah spoke to him directly and gave him the Torah. Musa (peace be upon him) will also excuse himself, saying: I killed a person unjustly, but go to Isa (peace be upon him), who was Allah’s servant, His messenger, His word, and a spirit from Him. But Isa (peace be upon him) will also excuse himself and say: Go to Muhammad (ﷺ), he will intercede for you, whose past and future shortcomings Allah has forgiven. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: I will seek permission to present myself before my Lord, which will be granted to me. I will fall in prostration before my Lord, and Allah will let me remain in prostration as long as He wills. Then it will be said to me: O Muhammad (ﷺ)! Raise your head, whatever you say will be heard, whatever you ask will be granted, and whoever you intercede for, your intercession will be accepted. So I will raise my head and praise Allah with such praises as He will teach me, then I will intercede, and Allah will set a limit for me, and I will admit them into Paradise and return again. This will happen three times. The fourth time I will say: O Lord! Only those remain whom the Qur’an has kept back. So every person will be taken out of Hell who says La ilaha illallah and in whose heart there is even the weight of a barley grain of goodness. Then every person will be taken out of Hell who says La ilaha illallah and in whose heart there is even the weight of a wheat grain of goodness. And every person will be taken out of Hell who says La ilaha illallah and in whose heart there is even the weight of a mustard seed of goodness.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) came to the house of Umm Haram (may Allah be pleased with her). We presented dates and ghee before the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) was fasting that day, so he said, "Put the dates in its container and the ghee in its bucket." Then, standing in a corner of the house, the Prophet (ﷺ) offered two units of prayer. We also prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed for Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) and her family. Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I have a special thing as well." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What is that?" She replied, "Your servant Anas." Upon this, the Prophet (ﷺ) did not leave out any good of this world or the Hereafter except that he asked it for me, and he said, "O Allah! Grant him wealth and children and bless them for him." Consequently, after that, there was no person among the Ansar wealthier than me, although previously he did not own any gold or silver except his ring. And he himself says that my eldest daughter Amina told me that until the coming of Hajjaj bin Yusuf, more than one hundred and twenty people from my descendants had died and been buried.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the time for prayer came, so every person who had a house in Madinah got up and went away to relieve himself and perform ablution. Some emigrants remained who had no house in Madinah. A large vessel of water was brought to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) placed his hands in it, but the vessel was not spacious enough, so the Prophet (ﷺ) placed only four fingers in it and said, "Come near and perform ablution from it." At that time, the blessed hand of the Prophet (ﷺ) was in the vessel. So all of them performed ablution from it, and not a single person remained who did not perform ablution, and still the same amount of water remained in it.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that my name was given after my uncle Anas bin Nadr, who could not participate in the Battle of Badr with the Prophet (ﷺ), and he regretted it. He used to say that I could not participate in the first battle with the Prophet (ﷺ), but if now Allah gives me the opportunity to go in any battle with the Prophet (ﷺ), then Allah will see what I do. Thus, he participated in the Battle of Uhud with the Prophet (ﷺ). In the battlefield, he saw Sa’d bin Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) coming from in front of him. He said to him, "Abu Amr! Where are you going? By Allah! I can smell the fragrance of Paradise from behind Uhud." Saying this, he fought so bravely that he was eventually martyred, and more than eighty marks of spears, swords, and arrows were found on his body. His sister and my paternal aunt, Rubai’ bint Nadr, says that I could only recognize my brother by his fingertips. And in this context, this verse was revealed: "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah; some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) believed that this verse was revealed about Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) and other companions like him.

After that, a man from among the people of Paradise will be brought who had lived in great hardships in the world. He will be dipped once in Paradise, and then it will be asked: O son of Adam!

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out after midday, led the Zuhr prayer, and after saying salam, stood on the pulpit and mentioned the Day of Judgment: and also that before it, great important matters will occur. Then he said, "Whoever wants to ask any question, let him ask. By Allah! Whatever you ask me about, as long as I am standing here, I will surely answer you." Hearing this, people began to weep and wail in abundance, and the Prophet (ﷺ) kept repeating, "Ask me." So a man stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Where will I enter?" He replied, "In Hell." Abdullah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Who is my father?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your father is Hudhafah." Upon this, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) knelt down and began to say, "We are pleased and content with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our religion, and with Muhammad (ﷺ) as our Prophet." Hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) became silent. After a little while, he said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, just now Paradise and Hell were presented before me in the width of this wall, while I was praying. I have never seen a day of good and evil like today."

Mus'ab bin Thabit, may Allah have mercy on him, says that there was a wooden post at the place where the Imam stands in the Prophet's Mosque. We tried very hard to find out something about it from someone, but we could not find a single person who could tell us anything about it.

He said, "Do you know why this wooden post was placed here?" I had not asked him this question. I replied, "By Allah! I do not know why it was placed here." He said, "The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to place his right hand on it and turn towards us and say, 'Straighten up and align your rows.'"

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to have his head shaved in the plain of Mina, he first offered the right side of his head, and after it was done, he gave those hairs to me and said, "Anas!

When people saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) had sent his hair specifically to Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), they began to compete with each other to obtain hair from the other side; some received a portion and others received a portion.

On a Friday, while the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the sermon, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The wealth is being destroyed and the children are hungry. Please pray to Allah to bless us with rain." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his hands and supplicated for rain. At the time when the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his blessed hands, we could not see any clouds in the sky. Then clouds like mountains appeared, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had not even descended from the pulpit when we saw rainwater dripping from his blessed beard...

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to be pleased with good dreams and sometimes would ask, "Has any of you seen a dream?" If someone had seen a dream, he would ask the Prophet (ﷺ) for its interpretation. If there was nothing distressing in it, the Prophet (ﷺ) would also be pleased with that. In this context, a woman came and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I saw in a dream as if I entered Paradise. There I heard a voice that made Paradise tremble. Suddenly, I saw that so-and-so son of so-and-so and so-and-so son of so-and-so were being brought." She mentioned the names of twelve men whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had previously sent on an expedition. The woman stated that when they were brought there, the clothes on their bodies had turned black and their veins were swollen. Someone said to them, "Take these people to the river Sadkh or the river Baydakh." So they were made to dive into it, and when they came out, their faces were shining like the full moon of the fourteenth night. Then golden chairs were brought, and they sat on them. Then a tray was brought in which there were fresh dates, and they began to eat those dates. During this, whichever date they turned over, they would find fruit to eat as they wished, and I also kept eating with them. After some time, a man from that army came with the news of victory and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Such and such happened with us, and so-and-so and so-and-so were martyred." While saying this, he mentioned the same twelve men whose names the woman had told. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Call this woman to me again." When she came, the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "Describe your dream in front of this man." She described it, and he said, "It happened exactly as she has described to the Prophet (ﷺ)."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) set out towards Badr, he consulted the people. In response, Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an opinion. Then, when he asked for advice again, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gave an opinion. Seeing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent. The Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah! Perhaps you mean us?" Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you command us, we will plunge into the seas, and if you command us, we will go to Bark al-Ghamad, driving our camels. Therefore, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), the matter is in your hands." The Prophet (ﷺ) then prepared his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and set out, and camped at Badr. Some spies of the Quraysh came, among them was a black slave of Banu Hajjaj. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) captured him and asked him about Abu Sufyan and his companions. He said, "I do not know about Abu Sufyan, but the Quraysh, Abu Jahl, and Umayyah bin Khalaf have arrived." When they beat him, he started telling them about Abu Sufyan, and when they let him go, he said, "What do I know about Abu Sufyan? But the Quraysh have arrived." At that time, the Prophet (ﷺ) was praying. After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When he tells you the truth, you beat him, and when he lies, you let him go." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) pointed with his hand and said, "InshaAllah, tomorrow so-and-so will fall here, and so-and-so will fall here." Thus, when the confrontation took place, Allah defeated the polytheists, and by Allah, not a single man was displaced from the place the Prophet (ﷺ) had indicated.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) stayed for three days between Khaybar and Madinah Munawwarah and had seclusion with Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her). I invited the Muslims to the wedding feast (walimah) of the Prophet (ﷺ). There was neither bread nor meat in it. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to spread a dining cloth, and dates, cheese, and clarified butter were brought and placed on it. This was the walimah of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Muslims began to talk among themselves, wondering whether Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) would be among the Mothers of the Believers or among the slave women. Then they themselves said that if the Prophet (ﷺ) made her observe the veil, she would be among the Mothers of the Believers, and if he did not make her observe the veil, she would be among the slave women. So when the Prophet (ﷺ) departed, he helped her mount the ride from behind and drew a veil between the people and her.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Once I was walking in Paradise when I reached a palace and stopped there. I asked, "O Jibreel! Whose palace is this?" I thought that such a palace could be mine. He replied, "This is Umar's." I walked a little further and came upon another palace, even more beautiful than the first. I asked, "Jibreel, whose is this?" Again, I thought that such a palace could be mine, but he told me, "This too is Umar's, and O Abu Hafs! In it there was also a Hoor-e-Ain. Nothing stopped me from entering it except your sense of honor." Upon hearing this, the eyes of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) filled with tears and he said, "I cannot express my sense of honor before you in any way."

These people used to recite the Qur'an at night, and during the day they would bring water and keep it in the mosque, and they would cut wood and sell it, and with that money they would buy food for the people of Suffa and the poor. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent them, and those who took them separated them and martyred them before they reached their area. They said, "O Allah! Convey this message from us to our Prophet that we have met You, we are pleased with You, and You are pleased with us." Meanwhile, a man came to Haram (may Allah be pleased with him), "my uncle," from behind and struck him with a spear so that it passed through him. He said, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! I have succeeded." On the other hand, the Prophet (ﷺ) informed his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of this news, saying, "Your brothers who have been martyred said to their Lord, 'Convey this message from us to our Prophet that we have met You, we are pleased with You, and You are pleased with us.'"

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) was the most beautiful, generous, and courageous of all people. Once, the people of Madinah were frightened at night due to fear of an enemy and set out towards the source of the sound. They saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) was returning, riding on the unsaddled horse of Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), with a sword hanging around his neck, and he was telling the people that there is nothing to worry about, do not be afraid. Regarding the horse, he said, "We found it as swift as the sea."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once on a Friday, people said to the Prophet (ﷺ): "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The rain has stopped, the lands have become dry, and the wealth is being destroyed." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his hands so high that the whiteness of his blessed armpits became visible, and the Prophet (ﷺ) supplicated for rain. At the time when the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his blessed hands, we could not see any clouds in the sky, but when the prayer was finished, the young men living in nearby houses found it difficult to return to their homes. When the next Friday came, people said: "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The buildings of the houses have collapsed and the riders have been forced to stop outside Madinah." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed to Allah: "O Allah! Let this rain fall around us, not upon us." Thus, the rain moved away from Madinah.

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) in Madinah Munawwarah, Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the presence of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I will ask you three things which no one knows except a Prophet." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ask." He said, "What is the very first sign of the Day of Judgment? What will be the very first food of the people of Paradise? And how does a child resemble its parents?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Just now Jibreel has informed me of their answers." Abdullah said, "He is the enemy of the Jews among the angels." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The very first sign of the Day of Judgment will be a fire that will emerge from the East and gather all the people in the West. The very first food of the people of Paradise will be the liver of fish. As for the resemblance of a child to its parents, if the man's 'fluid' prevails over the woman's fluid, he draws the child towards himself, and if the woman's fluid prevails over the man's, she draws the child towards herself." Upon hearing this, Abdullah said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! The Jews are a people who fabricate slanders. If they come to know of my acceptance of Islam, they will accuse me of all sorts of things before you. Therefore, send for them and ask them about me before they know of my Islam: 'What kind of man is Ibn Salam among you?'" So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for them and asked, "What kind of man is Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They replied, "He is the best among us and the son of the best, our scholar and the son of a scholar, the greatest jurist among us and the son of the greatest jurist." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell me, if he accepts Islam, will you also accept Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." At this, Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came out and recited the testimony of faith before them. Upon hearing this, they said, "He is the worst among us and the son of the worst, the most ignorant among us and the son of the most ignorant." Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I had already informed you that the Jews are a people who fabricate slanders."

Thus, both of them went to his house, walking one after the other.

After that, Allah granted victory to the Muslims and defeat to the disbelievers. The Prophet (ﷺ) announced that day that whoever kills a disbeliever, all his belongings will belong to the killer. Accordingly, Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) alone killed twenty disbelievers that day and took their belongings. Similarly, Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! I struck a man on the rope of his shoulder; he was wearing armor. I managed to overpower him with great difficulty and saved my life. Please find out who has taken his belongings?" A man stood up and said, "I have taken those belongings, O Messenger of Allah! Please make him pleased with me on my behalf and give those belongings to me." The blessed habit of the Prophet (ﷺ) was that if someone asked for something, he would give it or remain silent. On this occasion, the Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent, but Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah! It cannot happen that Allah gives war booty to one of His lions and the Prophet (ﷺ) gives it to you." The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled and said, "Umar is telling the truth." In the Battle of Hunayn itself, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) had a dagger with her. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) asked her, "What is this with you?" She replied, "I have kept this with me so that if any polytheist comes near me, I will rip open his belly with it." Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! Did you hear what Umm Sulaym said?" Then she said, "O Messenger of Allah! Those people who ran away leaving you, have them killed." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Umm Sulaym! Allah Himself sufficed for us and dealt well with us."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people of Banu Hawazin came with a very large force in the Battle of Hunayn. There were ten thousand or a little more people with the Prophet (ﷺ), among whom were also the Tulaqa (those recently freed from captivity). They, to show their numbers, made their animals and children stand in different rows. When the battle started, the Muslims turned their backs and fled. At this, the Prophet (ﷺ) dismounted from his white mule and called out to the Muslims, "O servants of Allah! I am the servant and Messenger of Allah (here)!" Then, turning to the right side, he said, "O group of Ansar!" They replied, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Be pleased, we are with you." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) turned to the left side and said, "O group of Ansar!" They replied, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Be pleased, we are with you." After this, Allah granted (the Muslims victory and) the disbelievers were defeated, and the Muslims obtained a great deal of spoils of war. The Prophet (ﷺ) distributed that booty among the Tulaqa. At this, some of the Ansar began to say that at the time of attack we are called, and the spoils of war are given to others. When the Prophet (ﷺ) learned of this, he gathered the Ansar in a tent and said, "O group of Ansar! What is this matter that has reached me regarding you?" They remained silent. The Prophet (ﷺ) repeated the same thing, and again they remained silent. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O group of Ansar! If people were to walk in one valley and the Ansar in another gorge, I would choose the path of the Ansar." Then he said, "Are you not pleased that people take the world and you return to your homes with the Messenger of Allah?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! We are pleased." Hisham bin Zaid asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "Were you present at that occasion?" He replied, "How could I be absent?"

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the polytheists attacked the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Battle of Uhud, at that time the Prophet (ﷺ) was among seven Ansari and two Qurayshi companions (may Allah be pleased with them). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Who will keep them away from me, and he will be my companion in Paradise?" An Ansari stepped forward and began to fight until he was martyred. In this way, one by one, all seven Ansari companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were martyred. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to his Qurayshi companions, "We have not done justice to our brothers."

I wish that when I depart from you, none of you should have any claim against me regarding any injustice to his wealth or life."

He was an excellent archer. When he would shoot an arrow, the Prophet (ﷺ) would look to see where the arrow had fallen. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) would raise his chest and say, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! May my parents be sacrificed for you, let no arrow strike you; my chest is before your chest." And he would put himself in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) and say, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! My body is strong, send me for your work and command me as you wish."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to have his head shaved (on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage), Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) took some hair from one part of his head in his hands, then those hairs were taken by Umm Sulaym, who would mix them in her perfume and shake it. Also, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to go to the house of Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) and rest on a leather bed, upon which he would sweat a lot. One day, when the Prophet (ﷺ) came, she began to collect his sweat in a bottle. The Prophet (ﷺ) woke up and said, "O Umm Sulaym! What are you doing?" She replied, "O Messenger of Allah! I will mix your sweat in my perfume."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: "O you who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet," Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), whose voice was naturally loud, said, "My voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." Thinking this, he sat at home in grief. One day, the Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired about his absence, so some people went to him and said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) was asking about your absence. What is the matter?" He said, "I am the one whose voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and I speak loudly while talking, so all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." The people came and mentioned this to the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "No, rather he is a person of Paradise."

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people from the tribe of 'Uraina became Muslim, but the climate of Madinah did not suit them. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to them, "If you go to our camels and drink their milk, perhaps you will recover." So they did so, but when they became healthy, they reverted to disbelief and turned back from Islam. They killed the Muslim shepherd of the Prophet (ﷺ) and drove away the camels of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) sent some companions after them, they were captured and brought before the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered their hands and feet to be cut off from opposite sides, their eyes to be branded with heated irons, and they were left in rocky areas until they died.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (ﷺ) migrated, the Prophet (ﷺ) was sitting in front on the mount and Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) was behind. Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) knew the routes because he used to travel to Syria. Whenever they passed by a group and the people asked, "Abu Bakr! Who is this sitting in front of you?" he would reply, "He is a guide who is guiding me." When they neared Madinah Munawwarah, he sent a message to the Ansari companions who had embraced Islam, Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions. They came to serve both of them and said, "Both of you may enter Madinah in peace and security; you will be obeyed." Thus, both of them entered Madinah Munawwarah. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I have never seen a day brighter and more beautiful than the day when the Prophet (ﷺ) and Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) entered Madinah Munawwarah, and I also witnessed the day of the Prophet's (ﷺ) departure from this world, and I have never seen a day darker and more dreadful than that day."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that three days after, the Prophet (ﷺ) went to the corpses of the slain at Badr and said: "O Abu Jahl bin Hisham! O Utbah bin Rabi’ah! O Shaybah bin Khalaf! Did you find true what your Lord had promised you? For I have found true what my Lord promised me." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Are you calling out to people who are dead?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You do not hear what I am saying any better than they do, but they cannot respond."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ مَاتَ لَهُ ابْنٌ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: لَا تُخْبِرُوا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَنَا الَّذِي أُخْبِرُهُ، فَسَجَّتْ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَضَعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ طَعَامًا، فَأَكَلَ، ثُمَّ تَطَيَّبَتْ لَهُ، فَأَصَابَ مِنْهَا، فَعَلِقَتْ بِغُلَامٍ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا طَلْحَةَ، إِنَّ آلَ فُلَانٍ اسْتَعَارُوا مِنْ آلِ فُلَانٍ عَارِيَةً، فَبَعَثُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ابْعَثُوا إِلَيْنَا بِعَارِيَتِنَا، ، فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يَرُدُّوهَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: لَيْسَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ، إِنَّ الْعَارِيَةَ مُؤَدَّاةٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا، قَالَتْ: فَإِنَّ ابْنَكَ كَانَ عَارِيَةً مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ قَبَضَهُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَأُخْبِرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: " بَارَكَ اللهُ لَهُمَا فِي لَيْلَتِهِمَا "، قَالَ: فَعَلِقَتْ بِغُلَامٍ، فَوَلَدَتْ، فَأَرْسَلَتْ بِهِ مَعِي أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَحَمَلْتُ تَمْرًا، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَيْهِ عَبَاءَةٌ، وَهُوَ يَهْنَأُ بَعِيرًا لَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " هَلْ مَعَكَ تَمْرٌ؟ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَأَخَذَ التَّمَرَاتِ فَأَلْقَاهُنَّ فِي فِيهِ فَلَاكَهُنَّ، ثُمَّ جَمَعَ لُعَابَهُ، ثُمَّ فَغَرَ فَاهُ فَأَوْجَرَهُ إِيَّاهُ، فَجَعَلَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَلَمَّظُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " حُبُّ الْأَنْصَارَ التَّمْرَ "، فَحَنَّكَهُ وَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ، فَمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ شَابٌّ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ، (١)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abu Talha's (may Allah be pleased with him) son was ill, and he passed away. His wife, Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her), instructed the household that none of them should inform Abu Talha of his son's death. When Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) returned, dinner was placed before him; he ate and drank water. Then Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) adorned herself well. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) was intimate with her. When she saw that he was fully satisfied, she said to him, "O Abu Talha! Tell me, if some people borrow something and benefit from it, and then the owners demand its return, can they refuse?" He replied, "No." She said, "Then be patient over your son." In the morning, he went to the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned the whole incident. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bless you both in this night." As a result, she became pregnant and eventually gave birth to a boy. She said to me, "Anas! Take him first to the Prophet (ﷺ)." So in the morning, I took the child to the Prophet (ﷺ). I saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) was applying tar to his camels. As soon as the Prophet (ﷺ) saw me, he said, "Perhaps a child has been born to Umm Sulaim?" I replied, "Yes!" and placed the child in the lap of the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) called for some Ajwa dates, took a date, chewed it in his mouth to soften it, gathered the saliva, and put it into the child's mouth, which he began to suck. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Dates are a beloved thing to the Ansar," and named him Abdullah. Among the Ansar, there was no youth better than him.

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) went to visit a sick Muslim. He had become like a chick. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Did you used to supplicate for anything?" He replied, "Yes! I used to supplicate: O Allah! Whatever punishment You have destined for me in the Hereafter, give it to me in this world." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Subhan Allah! You do not have the strength or ability for that.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were reciting this couplet while digging the trench: "We are the ones who have certainly pledged allegiance to Islam on the truthful hand of Muhammad (peace be upon him) until death." And the Prophet (peace be upon him) would respond with this phrase: "O Allah! The real goodness is the goodness of the Hereafter, so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajireen." Then barley bread was brought to the Prophet (peace be upon him), on which melted fat was placed. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) ate from it, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The real goodness is the goodness of the Hereafter."

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Once, when I was a child playing with other children, suddenly a man came and he grabbed me and split open my stomach. He took out a clot of congealed blood from it and threw it away, saying, "This was the portion of Satan in your body." Then he washed my stomach with Zamzam water from a golden basin, then sewed it up and stitched it. Seeing this, all the children ran to my mother and said, "Muhammad (ﷺ) has been killed." My mother came running and saw that the color of the blessed face of the Prophet (ﷺ) was changing. Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that we used to see the marks of the stitching on the blessed chest of the Prophet (ﷺ).

He said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! I am here." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What preparation have you made for the Hour?" He replied, "I have not prepared many good deeds, prayers, or fasts, but I do have this much: I love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A person will be with the one whom he loves on the Day of Judgment." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I have never seen the Muslims as happy as they were on that day after accepting Islam, because we love Allah and His Messenger."

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) sent his maternal uncle, Haram (may Allah be pleased with him)—who was the brother of Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her)—with those seventy companions (may Allah be pleased with them) who were martyred on the occasion of Bi’r Ma‘unah. My uncle said to his companions, “Stay close to me until I return. If you find me safe, that is very good; otherwise, if they kill me, at least you will be near me, and you can go and inform the rest of the companions.” Saying this, Haram (may Allah be pleased with him) set out. Upon reaching the relevant tribe, he said, “Do I have permission to convey the message of the Prophet (ﷺ) to you?” They granted permission. Haram (may Allah be pleased with him) began to deliver the message before them, and the enemies signaled to a man from behind, who came from behind and thrust a spear through him so that it pierced his body. Haram (may Allah be pleased with him) fell, saying, “Allahu Akbar! By the Lord of the Ka‘bah, I have succeeded!” Then they martyred all the companions (may Allah be pleased with them), except for the lame man who survived because he had climbed to the top of a mountain. In this context, the following revelation was sent down—“which was recited earlier, but was later abrogated”—that, “Convey this message to our people: We have met our Lord, and He is pleased with us and we are pleased with Him.” Meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) continued to invoke curses for forty days against the tribes of Ri‘l, Dhakwān, Banū Lihyān, and ‘Usayyah—“who had disobeyed Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ).”

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people from the tribe of 'Uraina became Muslim, but the climate of Madinah did not suit them.
