Abdullah bin Harith narrates that during the caliphate of Uthman Ghani, my father arranged my marriage and invited several companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to it. Among them was Safwan bin Umayyah, who had become extremely old. When he came, he said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Eat meat by tearing it off from camels, for it is more pleasant and easier to digest."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا التَّيْمِيِّ يَعْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ، (١) عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ (٢) يَعْنِي النَّهْدِيَّ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: " الطَّاعُونُ، وَالْبَطْنُ، وَالْغَرَقُ، وَالنُّفَسَاءُ شَهَادَةٌ " حَدَّثَنَا (٣) بِهِ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ مِرَارًا، وَقَدْ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّةً (٤)، ،

It is narrated from Safwan bin Umayyah in a marfu’ form that dying from the disease of plague, or from a stomach illness, or by drowning, or in the state of postnatal bleeding, is also martyrdom.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ،، ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَعَارَ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ (١) أَدْرَاعًا " فَقَالَ: أَغَصْبًا يَا مُحَمَّدُ؟ (٢) فَقَالَ: " بَلْ عَارِيَةٌ مَضْمُونَةٌ " قَالَ: فَضَاعَ بَعْضُهَا، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَضْمَنَهَا لَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَنَا الْيَوْمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ أَرْغَبُ (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Safwan bin Umayyah that on the day of the Battle of Hunayn, the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked him for some armors as a loan. At that time, Safwan had not yet become a Muslim. He asked, "O Muhammad, are you taking them with the intention of seizing them?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "No, with the intention of borrowing, for which I am responsible." By chance, some of those armors were lost. The Prophet (peace be upon him) offered him compensation for the loss, but he said, "O Messenger of Allah! Today I feel a greater inclination towards Islam."

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنَّ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ، قِيلَ لَهُ: هَلَكَ مَنْ لَمْ يُهَاجِرْ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَصِلُ إِلَى أَهْلِي حَتَّى آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَكِبْتُ رَاحِلَتِي، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ هَلَكَ مَنْ لَمْ يُهَاجِرْ، قَالَ: " كَلَّا أَبَا وَهْبٍ، فَارْجِعْ إِلَى أَبَاطِحِ مَكَّةَ " قَالَ: فَبَيْنَمَا (١) أَنَا رَاقِدٌ إِذْ جَاءَ السَّارِقُ، فَأَخَذَ ثَوْبِي مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِي، فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ هَذَا سَرَقَ ثَوْبِي، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ (٢) : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَيْسَ هَذَا أَرَدْتُ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ، قَالَ: " فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ " (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Safwan bin Umayyah that someone said to him that whoever does not migrate is ruined. Upon hearing this, I said, "I will not go to my home until I first meet the Prophet (peace be upon him)." So I mounted my ride and presented myself before the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Some people are saying that whoever has not migrated is ruined." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "O Abu Wahb, there is absolutely no such thing. Go back to the plain of Makkah." While I was sleeping in the Prophet's Mosque, a thief came and took the cloth from under my head and left. I chased him, caught him, and presented him before the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "This person has stolen my cloth." The Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered his hand to be cut off. I said: "O Messenger of Allah! That was not my intention; this cloth is charity for him." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Why did you not give it in charity before bringing him to me?"

حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنِ مُبَارَكٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، (١) عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَ: " أَعْطَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ،، ، وَإِنَّهُ لَأَبْغَضُ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ، فَمَا زَالَ يُعْطِينِي حَتَّى صَارَ، وَإِنَّهُ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ " (١)،

It is narrated from Safwan bin Umayyah that the Prophet (ﷺ) granted me a share of the spoils of war on the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn: Before this, I used to dislike him the most, but he bestowed so much generosity and kindness upon me that he became more beloved to me than all people.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ مُرَقَّعٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَرَقَ بُرْدَةً فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ تَجَاوَزْتُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: " فَلَوْلَا كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ يَا أَبَا وَهْبٍ " فَقَطَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

I said: O Messenger of Allah! I forgive him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Why did you not forgive him before bringing him to me? Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) had his hand cut off.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ: لَا يَدْخُلُ (١) الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ هَاجَرَ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَدْخُلُ مَنْزِلِي، حَتَّى آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْأَلَهُ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ هَذَا سَرَقَ خَمِيصَةً لِي لِرَجُلٍ مَعَهُ فَأَمَرَ بِقَطْعِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: (٢) يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُهَا لَهُ، قَالَ: " فَهَلَّا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنِي بِهِ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ هَاجَرَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا هِجْرَةَ بَعْدَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ، وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ، فَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Safwan bin Umayyah that someone said to him that whoever does not migrate will not enter Paradise. Upon hearing this, I said, "I will not go to my home until I first meet the Prophet (ﷺ)." So I mounted my ride and presented myself before the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Some people are saying that whoever has not migrated will not enter Paradise." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "After the conquest of Makkah, the command of migration no longer remains, but jihad and intention remain. Therefore, when you are asked to go out, then you should go out." Then I mentioned about a man: "This person has stolen my cloth." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his hand to be cut off. I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have given this cloth to him as charity." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Why did you not give it as charity before bringing him to me?"
