Hadith of 'Amr ibn al-'As from the Prophet (peace be upon him)

حَدِيثُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ (١) عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ١٧٧٦١ - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ: " نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَدْخُلَ عَلَى الْمُغِيبَاتِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade us from going to those women whose husbands are not present.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ فَصْلَ (١) مَا بَيْنَ صِيَامِنَا وَصِيَامِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، أَكْلَةُ السَّحَرِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The difference between our fasting and the fasting of the People of the Book is eating the pre-dawn meal (suhoor).

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ، يَقُولُ: بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " خُذْ عَلَيْكَ ثِيَابَكَ وَسِلَاحَكَ، ثُمَّ ائْتِنِي " فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ، فَصَعَّدَ فِيَّ النَّظَرَ ثُمَّ طَأْطَأَهُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَبْعَثَكَ عَلَى جَيْشٍ فَيُسَلِّمَكَ اللهُ وَيُغْنِمَكَ، وَأَزْعبُ لَكَ مِنَ الْمَالِ رَغْبَةً صَالِحَةً ". قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَسْلَمْتُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَالِ، وَلَكِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ زَعْبَةً، ، فِي الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقَالَ: " يَا عَمْرُو، نِعْمًا بِالْمَالِ الصَّالِحُ لِلرَّجُلِ الصَّالِحِ (١) " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) sent a message to me to come to him dressed in my clothes and armed. When I presented myself, the Prophet (ﷺ) was performing ablution. The Prophet (ﷺ) looked at me from head to toe, then lowered his gaze and said, "It is my intention to appoint you as the commander of an army and send you forth. Allah will bring you back safe and with spoils of war, and I desire good wealth for you." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) I did not accept Islam for the sake of wealth and riches. I accepted Islam with heartfelt desire and for the purpose that I may attain the company of the Prophet (ﷺ)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "How excellent is lawful wealth for a righteous man." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ، يَقُولُ: فَذَكَرَهُ وَقَالَ: صَعَّدَ فِيَّ البَصَرَ (١)،

This hadith is not present in the book.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَحَجَّاجٌ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أُسِرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ (٢) ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ عَمْرٌو يَسْأَلُهُ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ يَدَّعِيَ أَمَانًا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يُجِيرُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَدْنَاهُمْ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Muhammad bin Abi Bakr was brought as a captive. Amr began to ask him questions; he wished that he would seek protection from him. So he said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Even the lowest-ranking Muslim can grant protection to someone on behalf of all Muslims (and then his protection will be the responsibility of all Muslims).

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا. وحَجَّاجٌ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ (١) ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ أَهْدَى إِلَى نَاسٍ هَدَايَا، فَفَضَّلَ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " تَقْتُلُهُ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ " (٢)، ،

Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) once sent gifts and presents to some people, and he gave the most to Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him). Someone asked the reason for this, so Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that a rebellious group will kill Ammar.

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَكَمُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ذَكْوَانَ أَبَا صَالِحٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِعَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ أَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ يَسْتَأْذِنُهُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَيْسٍ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ، فَتَكَلَّمَا فِي حَاجَةٍ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ سَأَلَهُ الْمَوْلَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: " نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَأْذِنَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ " (١)،

Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) once sent his servant to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to seek permission to meet his wife, Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her). Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) granted him permission. He spoke to her regarding some matter and then returned. Upon coming out, the servant asked him the reason for seeking permission. Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade us from going to women without the permission of their husbands.

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَّةَ، مَوْلَى أُمِّ هَانِئٍ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَلَى أَبِيهِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ فَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِمَا طَعَامًا فَقَالَ: كُلْ قَالَ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو: " كُلْ، فَهَذِهِ الْأَيَّامُ الَّتِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَأْمُرُنَا بِفِطْرِهَا، وَيَنْهَى عَنْ صِيَامِهَا "، قَالَ مَالِكٌ: " وَهِيَ أَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ " (١)، ،

Abu Murrah says that once he came with Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) to his father Amr bin Al-As (may Allah be pleased with him). He brought food before both of them and said, "Eat." He (Abdullah) said, "I am fasting." Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Eat, for during these days the Prophet (ﷺ) used to command us to eat and drink and forbid us from fasting." The days referred to are the days of Tashreeq.

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَنَّ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ الْمُطَّلِبِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، دَخَلَ عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى الْغَدَاءِ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، ثُمَّ الثَّانِيَةَ كَذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ (١) ، فَقَالَ: " لَا "، إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " (٢)، ،

Once, Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to his father, Amr bin Al-As (may Allah be pleased with him). His father invited his son to eat, but he replied, "I am fasting." He (the father) responded, "I have heard a hadith from the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding this matter."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ فِي حَجٍّ أَوْ عُمْرَةٍ، فَقَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا الشِّعْبِ إِذْ قَالَ: " انْظُرُوا، هَلْ تَرَوْنَ شَيْئًا؟ " فَقُلْنَا: نَرَى غِرْبَانًا فِيهَا غُرَابٌ أَعْصَمُ أَحْمَرُ الْمِنْقَارِ، وَالرِّجْلَيْنِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ، إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُنَّ مِثْلَ هَذَا الْغُرَابِ فِي الْغِرْبَانِ " (١)، ،

‘Amarah bin Khuzaymah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once we were on a journey for Hajj or ‘Umrah with ‘Amr bin al-‘As (may Allah be pleased with him). He said that once we were at this very place with the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Look! Do you see anything?” We replied, “We see a few crows among which there is a white crow whose beak and both legs are red.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Only those women will enter Paradise who, among the group of crows, are like that crow.”

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قَيْسٍ، مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ، كَانَ يَسْرُدُ الصَّوْمَ، وَقَلَّمَا كَانَ يُصِيبُ مِنَ الْعَشَاءِ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ، أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَ يُصِيبُ مِنَ السَّحَرِ، قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ فَصْلًا بَيْنَ صِيَامِنَا وَصِيَامِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، أَكْلَةُ السَّحَرِ " (١)،

Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to fast frequently and ate very little at night, but he would definitely eat suhoor, and he used to say that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: The difference between our fasts and the fasts of the People of the Book is eating suhoor.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَقُولُ:، ، كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ بِالْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ فَذَكَرُوا مَا هُمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ، " لَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا شَبِعَ (١) أَهْلُهُ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ الْغَلِيثِ، قَالَ مُوسَى: يَعْنِي الشَّعِيرَ وَالسُّلْتَ إِذَا خُلِطَا " (٢)،

Musa narrates from his father that once I was in Alexandria with Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), where some people began to discuss their way of life. Then a companion (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (ﷺ) passed away in such a state that his family was not even satisfied with barley bread mixed with husk.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ بِمِصْرَ يَقُولُ: " مَا أَبْعَدَ هَدْيَكُمْ مِنْ هَدْيِ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَمَّا هُوَ فَكَانَ أَزْهَدَ النَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا " وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَرْغَبُ النَّاسِ فِيهَا (٣)، ،

Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) once, while delivering a sermon in Egypt, said to the people: "How far you have gone from the way of your Prophet (ﷺ)? He was extremely disinterested in the world, while you hold the world extremely dear and desirable."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعَيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا حَكَمَ الْحَاكِمُ، فَاجْتَهَدَ، فَأَصَابَ، فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ، وَإِذَا حَكَمَ، فَاجْتَهَدَ فَأَخْطَأَ، فَلَهُ أَجْرٌ " قَالَ: فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، قَالَ: هَكَذَا حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: When a ruler passes a judgment and strives with care and diligence and makes the correct decision, he will have a double reward. And if he makes a mistake despite his caution, he will still have a single reward. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " بَيْنَا أَنَا فِي مَنَامِي، أَتَتْنِي الْمَلَائِكَةُ فَحَمَلَتْ عَمُودَ الْكِتَابِ مِنْ تَحْتِ وِسَادَتِي، فَعَمَدَتْ بِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِ، أَلَا فَالْإِيمَانُ حَيْثُ تَقَعُ الْفِتَنُ بِالشَّامِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: Once, in a dream, some angels came to me, they lifted the pillar of the book from beneath my pillow and took it to Syria. Remember! When tribulations appear, faith will be in Syria.

Abu Ghadiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that when Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) was informed of this.

Someone said to Amr (may Allah be pleased with him): Were you not also fighting against him? He replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) spoke about the killer and the one who seizes the belongings (not about the one who fights).

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ ابْنِ (١) إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ رَاشِدٍ، مَوْلَى حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْسٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ (٢) بْنِ أَبِي أَوْسٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ مِنْ فِيهِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا مِنَ، ، الْأَحْزَابِ عَنِ الْخَنْدَقِ، جَمَعْتُ رِجَالًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَ مَكَانِي، وَيَسْمَعُونَ مِنِّي، فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: تَعْلَمُونَ، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَى أَمْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْلُو الْأُمُورَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا (١) ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَأْيًا، فَمَا تَرَوْنَ فِيهِ؟ قَالُوا: وَمَا رَأَيْتَ؟ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَنْ نَلْحَقَ بِالنَّجَاشِيِّ فَنَكُونَ عِنْدَهُ، فَإِنْ ظَهَرَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَلَى قَوْمِنَا، كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّجَاشِيِّ، فَإِنَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِنْ أَنْ نَكُونَ تَحْتَ يَدَيْ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَإِنْ ظَهَرَ قَوْمُنَا فَنَحْنُ مَنْ قَدْ عُرِفُوا (٢) ، فَلَنْ يَأْتِيَنَا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا خَيْرٌ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّ هَذَا الرَّأْيُ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: فَاجْمَعُوا لَهُ مَا نُهْدِي لَهُ، وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ مَا يُهْدَى إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَرْضِنَا الْأَدَمُ، فَجَمَعْنَا لَهُ أُدْمًا كَثِيرًا، فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَوَاللهِ إِنَّا لَعِنْدَهُ إِذْ جَاءَ عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ بَعَثَهُ إِلَيْهِ فِي شَأْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِي: هَذَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، لَوْ قَدْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ فَسَأَلْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ، فَضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهُ، فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ رَأَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَنِّي قَدْ أَجْزَأْتُ عَنْهَا حِينَ قَتَلْتُ رَسُولَ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَسَجَدْتُ لَهُ كَمَا كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُ، فَقَالَ: مَرْحَبًا بِصَدِيقِي، أَهْدَيْتَ لِي مِنْ بِلَادِكَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، ، أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ، قَدْ أَهْدَيْتُ لَكَ أُدْمًا كَثِيرًا، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَدَّمْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ، فَأَعْجَبَهُ وَاشْتَهَاهُ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ: أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ، وَهُوَ رَسُولُ رَجُلٍ عَدُوٍّ لَنَا، فَأَعْطِنِيهِ لِأَقْتُلَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَصَابَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِنَا وَخِيَارِنَا، قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ ثُمَّ مَدَّ يَدَهُ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا (١) أَنْفَهُ ضَرْبَةً ظَنَنْتُ أَنْ قَدْ كَسَرَهُ، فَلَوِ انْشَقَّتْ لِي الْأَرْضُ لَدَخَلْتُ فِيهَا فَرَقًا مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ، وَاللهِ لَوْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ تَكْرَهُ هَذَا مَا سَأَلْتُكَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَتَسْأَلُنِي أَنْ أُعْطِيَكَ رَسُولَ رَجُلٍ يَأْتِيهِ النَّامُوسُ الْأَكْبَرُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَأْتِي مُوسَى لِتَقْتُلَهُ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ أَكَذَاكَ هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ يَا عَمْرُو، أَطِعْنِي وَاتَّبِعْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ لَعَلَى الْحَقِّ، وَلَيَظْهَرَنَّ عَلَى مَنْ خَالَفَهُ كَمَا ظَهَرَ مُوسَى عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَجُنُودِهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَبَايِعْنِي لَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ وَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِي وَقَدْ حَالَ رَأْيِي عَمَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَتَمْتُ أَصْحَابِي إِسْلَامِي، ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ عَامِدًا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأُسْلِمَ، فَلَقِيتُ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ، وَذَلِكَ قُبَيْلَ الْفَتْحِ، وَهُوَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ مَكَّةَ، فَقُلْتُ: أَيْنَ يَا أَبَا سُلَيْمَانَ؟ قَالَ: وَاللهِ لَقَدِ اسْتَقَامَ الْمَنْسِمُ، وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَنَبِيٌّ، أَذْهَبُ وَاللهِ أُسْلِمُ، فَحَتَّى مَتَى؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَاللهِ مَا جِئْتُ إِلَّا لِأُسْلِمَ، قَالَ: فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَدِمَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ، فَأَسْلَمَ وَبَايَعَ، ثُمَّ دَنَوْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أُبَايِعُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِي، وَلَا أَذْكُرُ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ (١) ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا عَمْرُو، بَايِعْ، فَإِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ يَجُبُّ مَا كَانَ (٢) قَبْلَهُ، وَإِنَّ الْهِجْرَةَ تَجُبُّ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهَا "، قَالَ: فَبَايَعْتُهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: " وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ كَانَ مَعَهُمَا أَسْلَمَ حِينَ أَسْلَمَا " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that (before accepting Islam) when we returned from the Battle of the Trench, I gathered some people of the Quraysh who were aware of my status and listened to me, and I said to them, "You know, Muhammad (peace be upon him) is increasingly prevailing in many matters in a way that is undesirable to us. I have an opinion; advise me about it." They asked, "What is your opinion?" Amr said, "My opinion is that we should go to Najashi and stay there. If Muhammad (peace be upon him) prevails over his people, we will be with Najashi, and being under his rule is better for us than being under Muhammad (peace be upon him). And if our people prevail, we are known to them, so we can expect good from them." They said, "This is a very good opinion." I said to them, "Then gather something to present as a gift to Najashi." At that time, the best gift in our region was leather, so we collected a lot of leather and set out. When we arrived there and were still with him, Amr bin Umayyah Damri (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Najashi, whom the Prophet (peace be upon him) had sent to Najashi regarding Ja'far and his companions. When he left, I said to my companions, "This is Amr bin Umayyah Damri. If I go to Najashi, I will request him to hand Amr over to me. If he does, I will kill him, and the people of Quraysh will see that when I have killed the messenger of Muhammad (peace be upon him), I have avenged them." So I went to Najashi and prostrated to him as I used to do before. Najashi said, "Welcome, my friend. Have you brought any gift for me from your region?" I said, "Yes, Your Majesty! I have brought a lot of leather as a gift for you." Saying this, I presented the leather to him, and he liked it very much. Then I said to him, "Your Majesty! I just saw a man leaving your presence who is a messenger of one of our enemies. Hand him over to me so that I may kill him, for he has harmed many of our noble and best people." Hearing this, Najashi became enraged and struck his nose so hard with his hand that I thought his nose had broken. At that moment, if the earth had split open, I would have entered it. I said, "Your Majesty! If I had known that this would displease you so much, I would never have made such a request." Najashi said, "Do you ask me for the messenger of the one to whom the Great Trust (Namūs Akbar) comes, the same that came to Moses (peace be upon him), so that you may kill him?" I asked, "Your Majesty! Is it really so?" Najashi said, "Amr! Woe to you, listen to me and follow them. By Allah, they are on the truth, and they will surely prevail over their opponents just as Moses (peace be upon him) prevailed over Pharaoh and his armies." I said, "Will you pledge allegiance to me on their behalf for Islam?" Najashi replied in the affirmative, extended his hand, and I pledged allegiance to him for Islam. Then I returned to my companions, but my condition and opinion had changed from before. I kept my Islam hidden from my companions, and after a short while, I set out with the intention of presenting myself to the Prophet (peace be upon him) to accept Islam. On the way, I met Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). This incident was before the conquest of Makkah. He was coming from Makkah. I asked him, "Abu Sulaiman! Where are you headed?" He replied, "By Allah! The matter has become clear; that person is certainly a Prophet, and now I am going to accept Islam. How long will this continue?" I said, "By Allah, I am also coming from Abyssinia to accept Islam." So we both presented ourselves to the Prophet (peace be upon him). First, Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward, accepted Islam, and pledged allegiance. Then I stepped forward and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I pledge allegiance to you on the condition that you forgive my past mistakes; I do not mention the sins that come after." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Amr! Pledge allegiance, for Islam wipes out previous sins, and likewise, migration also erases previous sins." So I pledged allegiance and returned. Ibn Ishaq...

Muhammad bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, Amr bin Hazm (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him that Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) had been martyred, and that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had said that Ammar would be killed by a rebellious group? Upon hearing this, Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) recited "Inna lillah" in distress, stood up anxiously, and went to Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "What has happened to you?" He replied that Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) had been martyred. Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) has indeed been martyred, but what is the reason for your condition?" He said, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that Ammar would be killed by a rebellious group." Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You would have fallen in your own urine! Did we kill him? He was killed by Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions; they brought him and threw him among our spears."

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رَبَاحٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ رَهْطِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ: دَعَا أَعْرَابِيًّا إِلَى طَعَامٍ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ النَّحْرِ بِيَوْمٍ، فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: إِنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ دَعَا رَجُلًا إِلَى الطَعَامٍ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: " إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ صَوْمِ (٢) هَذَا الْيَوْمِ " (٣)،

Ja'far bin Mutlib, who was among the group of Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), invited a Bedouin to eat. This incident took place on the eleventh of Dhul-Hijjah. The Bedouin replied that he was fasting. Ja'far told him that once, on this same day, Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) had also invited a man to eat, and he had given the same reply, that he was fasting. So Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden fasting on this day.

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ، ، الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ شِمَاسَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا حَضَرَتْ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ الْوَفَاةُ بَكَى، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ: لِمَ تَبْكِي، أَجَزَعًا عَلَى الْمَوْتِ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ، وَلَكِنْ مِمَّا بَعْدُ. فَقَالَ لَهُ: قَدْ كُنْتَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ، فَجَعَلَ يُذَكِّرُهُ صُحْبَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفُتُوحَهُ الشَّامَ، فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: تَرَكْتَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ، شَهَادَةَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَطْبَاقٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا طَبَقٌ إِلَّا قَدْ عَرَفْتُ نَفْسِي فِيهِ: كُنْتُ أَوَّلَ شَيْءٍ كَافِرًا، وَكُنْتُ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَوْ مِتُّ حِينَئِذٍ وَجَبَتْ لِي النَّارُ، فَلَمَّا " بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُنْتُ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ حَيَاءً مِنْهُ، فَمَا مَلَأْتُ عَيْنِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَا رَاجَعْتُهُ فِيمَا أُرِيدُ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَيَاءً مِنْهُ "، فَلَوْ مِتُّ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ النَّاسُ: هَنِيئًا لِعَمْرٍو، أَسْلَمَ وَكَانَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ، فَمَاتَ فَرُجِيَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ، ثُمَّ تَلَبَّسْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِالسُّلْطَانِ وَأَشْيَاءَ، فَلَا أَدْرِي عَلَيَّ أَمْ لِي، فَإِذَا مِتُّ فَلَا تَبْكِيَنَّ عَلَيَّ وَلَا تُتْبِعْنِي مَادِحًا وَلَا نَارًا، وَشُدُّوا عَلَيَّ إِزَارِي فَإِنِّي مُخَاصِمٌ، وَسُنُّوا عَلَيَّ التُّرَابَ سَنًّا، فَإِنَّ جَنْبِيَ الْأَيْمَنَ لَيْسَ بِأَحَقَّ بِالتُّرَابِ مِنْ جَنْبِي الْأَيْسَرِ، وَلَا تَجْعَلَنَّ فِي قَبْرِي خَشَبَةً وَلَا حَجَرًا، فَإِذَا وَارَيْتُمُونِي فَاقْعُدُوا عِنْدِي قَدْرَ نَحْرِ جَزُورٍ وَتَقْطِيعِهَا، أَسْتَأْنِسْ بِكُمْ (١)، ،

When the time of death approached for Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he was overcome with weeping. His son, Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), asked him, "Why are you crying? Do you feel apprehension about death?" He replied, "By Allah! Not from death, but from the matters that will occur after death." His son said, "You remained steadfast upon goodness." Then he mentioned the companionship of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the conquests of Syria. Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You have left out the best thing, that is, the testimony of 'There is no god but Allah.' I have had three states, and in each state I know about myself. First, I was a disbeliever and among all people the most severe against the Prophet (peace be upon him). If I had died in that state, Hell would have been obligatory for me. When I pledged allegiance to the Prophet, I was more modest before him than anyone else. For this reason, I never looked at the Prophet (peace be upon him) with full gaze, nor did I ever respond to him in my desires, until he joined Allah the Exalted. If I had died in that time, people would have said, 'Congratulations to Amr, he accepted Islam, he was upon goodness, he died in that state, it is hoped that he will attain Paradise.' Then I became involved in government and other matters. Now I do not know whether this is a cause of punishment or reward for me. But when I die, do not weep over me, do not bring any praiser or fire with the funeral, tie my lower garment tightly because I will be questioned, throw earth over me gently and scatter it all around, for the right side has no more right than the left side. Do not fix any wood or stone on my grave, and when you have finished covering me with the earth, stay at my grave for as long as it takes to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat, so that I may find comfort with you."

Abu Nofal says that at the time of death, a severe anxiety overcame Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him). When his son, Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), saw this condition, he asked, "O Abu Abdullah! What is this anxiety? The Prophet (ﷺ) used to keep you close to him and entrusted you with various responsibilities." He replied, "Son! This is indeed true, but shall I tell you something? By Allah! I do not know whether the Prophet (ﷺ) treated me in this way out of love or for the sake of winning my heart. However, I can testify to this: until he departed from this world, he loved two men—one was Ammar, the son of Sumayyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the other was Abdullah bin Masood, the son of Umm Abd (may Allah be pleased with him)." After narrating this hadith, he placed his hands under his chin and began to say, "O Allah! You commanded us, but we abandoned it; You forbade us, yet we did those things; and nothing can encompass us except Your forgiveness." He continued to repeat these words until he passed away.
