حَدِيثُ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ (١)، ١٧٥٨١ - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الضَّالَّةِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ تَغْشَى حِيَاضِي، هَلْ لِي مِنْ أَجْرٍ أَسْقِيهَا؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ، في (٢) كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى (٣) أَجْرٌ" (٤)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the stray camels that come to my pond—will I receive reward for giving them water? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Yes! There is reward in (showing kindness to) every living being with a moist liver.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ، قَالَ: قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطِيبًا فِي الْوَادِي، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا إِنَّ الْعُمْرَةَ دَخَلَتْ فِي الْحَجِّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) stood in the valley to deliver a sermon and said: "Be aware! Until the Day of Resurrection, ‘Umrah has been included in Hajj."

حَدَّثَنِي مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ الزَّرَّادَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ النَّزَّالَ بْنَ سَبْرَةَ (١) ، صَاحِبَ عَلِيٍّ، يَقُولُ:، ، سَمِعْتُ سُرَاقَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " دَخَلَتِ الْعُمْرَةُ فِي الْحَجِّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ". قَالَ: وَقَرَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ (١)،

It is narrated from Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: "Until the Day of Resurrection, ‘Umrah has been included in Hajj." And the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Hajj Qiran in the Farewell Pilgrimage.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الضَّالَّةِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ تَغْشَى حِيَاضِي، قَدْ لُطْتُهَا للِإِبِلٍ (٢) ، هَلْ لِي مِنْ أَجْرٍ فِي شَأْنِ مَا أَسْقِيهَا؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ، فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى (٣) أَجْرٌ " (٤)، ،

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَقُولُ: بَلَغَنِي عَنْ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ الْمُدْلِجِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: " يَا سُرَاقَةُ، أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَهْلِ النَّارِ؟ " قَالَ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ، فَكُلُّ جَعْظَرِيٍّ جَوَّاظٍ مُسْتَكْبِرٍ، وَأَمَّا أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الضُّعَفَاءُ الْمَغْلُوبُونَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Suraqah! Shall I not tell you about the people of Paradise and the people of Hell?" He replied, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ)" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The people of Hell will be every harsh-hearted, ill-tempered, and arrogant person, and the people of Paradise will be those who are weak and subdued."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَقُولُ: بَلَغَنِي عَنْ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ: أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: " يَا سُرَاقَةُ، أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَعْظَمِ الصَّدَقَةِ أَوْ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الصَّدَقَةِ؟ " قَالَ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " ابْنَتُكَ مَرْدُودَةٌ إِلَيْكَ، لَيْسَ لَهَا كَاسِبٌ غَيْرَكَ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Suraqah! Shall I not tell you about the greatest charity?" He replied, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ)" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your daughter who returns to you due to the death or divorce from her husband and has no one to provide for her except you."

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، وَحَدَّثَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ (١) أَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ جُعْشُمٍ، دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ، قَالَ: فَطَفِقْتُ أَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى مَا أَذْكُرُ مَا أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهُ. فَقَالَ: اذْكُرْهُ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ: أَنْ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، الضَّالَّةُ تَغْشَى حِيَاضِي، وَقَدْ مَلَأْتُهَا مَاءً لِإِبِلِي، هَلْ، ، لِي مِنْ أَجْرٍ أَنْ أَسْقِيَهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " نَعَمْ، فِي سَقْيِ كُلِّ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى (١) أَجْرٌ لِلَّهِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was present in the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) during his illness of death. I started asking the Prophet (ﷺ) questions, until I ran out of questions. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Remember some more." Among those questions, I also asked: "O Messenger of Allah! If stray camels come to my pond, will I get reward for giving them water, even though I have filled that water for my own camels?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes! There is reward in every living being with a moist liver."

It is narrated from Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) Tell me, is this ruling of performing ‘Umrah during the journey of Hajj only for us or is it forever?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "It is forever."

It is narrated from Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him): (Before my acceptance of Islam, at the time of migration) some messengers of the disbelievers of Quraysh came to us and informed that the Quraysh had announced a full blood money (one hundred camels) for whoever would martyr or capture the Prophet (ﷺ) and Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him). I was sitting in the assembly of my tribe Banu Mudlij when a man came and stood before us and said, “O Suraqah! I have just seen some people going towards the coast; I think they are Muhammad (ﷺ) and his companion.” Suraqah says: I understood that these were the same people, but I told them, “These are not those people; you must have seen such and such persons who have just passed by here.” Then I sat in that assembly for a little while, after which I stood up and went home and ordered my slave girl to take my horse behind the hill and wait for me. Then I took my spear and left the house, drawing a line on the ground with my spear as I went until I reached my horse. I mounted it and made it run at full speed. I got so close to them that their bodies became visible to me. When I got so near to them that their voices could be heard, my horse stumbled and fell, and I also fell off it. I got up from the ground, took out arrows from my quiver, and started drawing lots to see whether I should harm them or not. The arrow came out which I disliked, i.e., not to harm them. But I ignored the result of the arrow and mounted my horse again. But the same thing happened the second time. The third time, when I got close and could hear the recitation of the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet (ﷺ) was not looking right or left, but Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) kept looking around repeatedly. Then the front legs of my horse sank into the ground up to the knees, and I fell down. I scolded my horse and made it stand up; it did stand, but its legs could not come out. And when it stood upright, a cloud of smoke spread from there up to the sky. Once again, I drew lots with the arrows, and as before, the same arrow came out which I disliked, i.e., not to harm them. So I called out to both of them and assured them of my safety, and they stopped. I rode my horse and reached them. When this happened to me, it was at that very moment that the thought settled in my heart that the religion of the Prophet (ﷺ) would surely prevail. So I submitted to the Prophet (ﷺ) that your people have announced blood money for you, and I informed the Prophet (ﷺ) about all the spies and people searching for them. Then I offered them provisions and travel supplies, but they did not take anything from me and only asked me to keep all these matters secret regarding them. I requested the Prophet (ﷺ) to write a letter of protection for me. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered Amir bin Fuhayrah, and he wrote a letter of protection for me on a piece of leather. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) continued on his journey.
