Translation of Sahih Bukhari

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the mother of the faithful believers) Al-Harith bin Hisham asked
Allah's Apostle "O Allah's Apostle! How is the Divine Inspiration
revealed to you?" Allah's Apostle replied, "Sometimes it is
(revealed)
like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest
of
all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is
inspired. Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks
to
me and I grasp whatever he says." 'Aisha added: Verily I saw the
Prophet being inspired Divinely on a very cold day and noticed the
Sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over).

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the mother of the faithful believers) The commencement of the
Divine
Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of good dreams which

came true like bright day light, and then the love of seclusion was

bestowed upon him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira
where he used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for many days
before his desire to see his family. He used to take with him the
journey food for the stay and then come back to (his wife) Khadija
to
take his food like-wise again till suddenly the Truth descended
upon
him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and
asked
him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read."

The Prophet added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me
so
hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and
again
asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.'
Thereupon
he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not
bear
it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but
again
I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?'
Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then
released me and said, 'Read in the name of your Lord, who has
created
(all that exists) has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord
is
the Most Generous." (96.1, 96.2, 96.3) Then Allah's Apostle
returned
with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he
went
to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They
covered
him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything
that
had happened and said, "I fear that something may happen to me."
Khadija replied, "Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you.
You
keep good relations with your Kith and kin, help the poor and the
destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the deserving
calamity-afflicted ones."

Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin
Asad
bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during the PreIslamic Period became a
Christian
and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write
from
the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was
an
old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Waraqa, "Listen
to
the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew!

What have you seen?" Allah's Apostle described whatever he had
seen.
Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel
Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and
could
live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's
Apostle asked, "Will they drive me out?" Waraqa replied in the
affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something similar
to
what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should
remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would
support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the
Divine
Inspiration was also paused for a while.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari while talking about the
period
of pause in revelation reporting the speech of the Prophet "While I

was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky. I looked
up
and saw the same angel who had visited me at the cave of Hira'
sitting
on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and
came
back home and said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).' And then Allah
revealed
the following Holy Verses (of Quran):

'O you (i.e. Muhammad)! wrapped up in garments!' Arise and warn
(the
people against Allah's Punishment),... up to 'and desert the
idols.'
(74.1-5) After this the revelation started coming strongly,
frequently
and regularly."

Narrated Said bin Jubair:

Ibn 'Abbas in the explanation of the Statement of Allah. 'Move not
your tongue concerning (the Quran) to make haste therewith."
(75.16)
Said "Allah's Apostle used to bear the revelation with great
trouble
and used to move his lips (quickly) with the Inspiration." Ibn
'Abbas
moved his lips saying, "I am moving my lips in front of you as
Allah's
Apostle used to move his." Said moved his lips saying: "I am moving
my
lips, as I saw Ibn 'Abbas moving his." Ibn 'Abbas added, "So Allah
revealed 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to make
haste
therewith. It is for us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad)
the
ability to recite it (the Qur'an) (75.16-17) which means that Allah

will make him (the Prophet ) remember the portion of the Qur'an
which
was revealed at that time by heart and recite it. The Statement of
Allah: And 'When we have recited it to you (O Muhammad through
Gabriel) then you follow its (Qur'an) recital' (75.18) means
'listen
to it and be silent.' Then it is for Us (Allah) to make It clear to

you' (75.19) means 'Then it is (for Allah) to make you recite it
(and
its meaning will be clear by itself through your tongue).
Afterwards,
Allah's Apostle used to listen to Gabriel whenever he came and
after
his departure he used to recite it as Gabriel had recited it."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Apostle was the most generous of all the people, and he
used
to reach the peak in generosity in the month of Ramadan when
Gabriel
met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night of Ramadan to teach
him
the Qur'an. Allah's Apostle was the most generous person, even more

generous than the strong uncontrollable wind (in readiness and
haste
to do charitable deeds).

Narrated 'Aisha:

Allah caused the day of Buath to take place before Allah's Apostle
was
sent (as an Apostle) so that when Allah's Apostle reached Medina,
those people had already divided (in different groups) and their
chiefs had been killed or wounded. So Allah made that day precede
Allah's Apostle so that they (i.e. the Ansar) might embrace Islam.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: To run along the valley between two green
pillars
of Safa and Marwa (mountains) was not Sunna, but the people in the
pre-islamic period of ignorance used to run along it, and used to
say:
"We do not cross this rain stream except running strongly. "

Narrated Abu As-Safar:

I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "O people! Listen to what I say to you,
and
let me hear whatever you say, and don't go (without understanding),

and start saying, 'Ibn 'Abbas said so-and-so, Ibn 'Abbas said
so-and-so, Ibn 'Abbas said so-and-so.' He who wants to perform the
Tawaf around the Ka'ba should go behind Al-Hijr (i.e. a portion of
the
Ka'ba left out unroofed) and do not call it Al-Hatim, for in the
pre-Islamic period of ignorance if any man took an oath, he used to

throw his whip, shoes or bow in it.

Narrated 'Amr bin Maimun:

During the pre-lslamic period of ignorance I saw a she-monkey
surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it,
because
it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along

with them.

Narrated Sufyan:

'Ubaidullah said: "I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "Following are some
traits of the people of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (i) to
defame the ancestry of other families, (ii) and to wail over the
dead." 'Ubaidullah forgot the third trait. Sufyan said, "They say
it
(i.e. the third trait) was to believe that rain was caused by the
influence of stars (i.e. if a special star appears it will rain)."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Apostle was inspired Divinely at the age of forty. Then he
stayed in Mecca for thirteen years, and then was ordered to
migrate,
and he migrated to Medina and stayed there for ten years and then
died.

Narrated Khabbaba:

I came to the Prophet while he was leaning against his sheet cloak
in
the shade of the Ka'ba. We were suffering greatly from the pagans
in
those days. i said (to him). "Will you invoke Allah (to help us)?"
He
sat down with a red face and said, "(A believer among) those who
were
before you used to be combed with iron combs so that nothing of his

flesh or nerves would remain on his bones; yet that would never
make
him desert his religion. A saw might be put over the parting of his

head which would be split into two parts, yet all that would never
make him abandon his religion. Allah will surely complete this
religion (i.e. Islam) so that a traveler from Sana to Hadra-maut
will
not be afraid of anybody except Allah." (The sub-narrator, Baiyan
added, "Or the wolf, lest it should harm his sheep.")

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet recited Surat An-Najam and prostrated, and there was
nobody who did not prostrate then except a man whom I saw taking a
handful of pebbles, lifting it, and prostrating on it. He then
said,
"This is sufficient for me." No doubt I saw him killed as a
disbeliever afterwards.

Narrated 'Abdullah:

While the Prophet was prostrating, surrounded by some of Quraish,
'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait brought the intestines (i.e. abdominal
contents)
of a camel and put them over the back of the Prophet. The Prophet
did
not raise his head, (till) Fatima, came and took it off his back
and
cursed the one who had done the harm. The Prophet said, "O Allah!
Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin
Rabi'al,
Shaba bin Rabi'a, Umaiya bin Khalaf or Ubai bin Khalaf." (The
sub-narrator Shu'ba, is not sure of the last name.) I saw these
people
killed on the day of Badr battle and thrown in the well except
Umaiya
or Ubai whose body parts were mutilated but he was not thrown in
the
well.

Narrated Said bin Jubair:

'AbdurRahman bin Abza said, "Ask Ibn 'Abbas about these two
Qur'anic
Verses: 'Nor kill such life as Allah has made sacred, Except for
just
cause.' (25.168) "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his
recompense is Hell. (4.93)

So I asked Ibn 'Abbas who said, "When the Verse that is in
Sura-al-Furqan was revealed, the pagans of Mecca said, 'But we have

slain such life as Allah has made sacred, and we have invoked other

gods along with Allah, and we have also committed fornication.' So
Allah revealed:-- 'Except those who repent, believe, and do good--
(25.70)

So this Verse was concerned with those people. As for the Verse in
Surat-an-Nisa (4-93), it means that if a man, after understanding
Islam and its laws and obligations, murders somebody, then his
punishment is to dwell in the (Hell) Fire forever." Then I
mentioned
this to Mujahid who said, "Except the one who regrets (one's crime)
.
"

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair:

I asked Ibn Amr bin Al-As, "Tell me of the worst thing which the
pagans did to the Prophet." He said, "While the Prophet was praying
in
the Hijr of the Ka'ba; 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait came and put his
garment
around the Prophet's neck and throttled him violently. Abu Bakr
came
and caught him by his shoulder and pushed him away from the Prophet

and said, "Do you want to kill a man just because he says, 'My Lord
is
Allah?' "

Narrated 'Urwa:

As above (Hadith 195).

Narrated 'Ammar bin Yasir:

I saw Allah's Apostle , and the only converts (to Islam) with him,
were five slaves, two women and Abu Bakr.

Narrated Abu Ishaq Saud bin Abi Waqqas:

None embraced Islam, except on the day I embraced it. And for seven

days I was one of the three persons who were Muslims (one-third of
Islam).

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman:

"I asked Masruq, 'Who informed the Prophet about the Jinns at the
night when they heard the Qur'an?' He said, 'Your father 'Abdullah
informed me that a tree informed the Prophet about them.' "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

That once he was in the, company of the Prophet carrying a water
pot
for his ablution and for cleaning his private parts. While he was
following him carrying it(i.e. the pot), the Prophet said, "Who is
this?" He said, "I am Abu Huraira." The Prophet said, "Bring me
stones
in order to clean my private parts, and do not bring any bones or
animal dung." Abu Huraira went on narrating: So I brought some
stones,
carrying them in the corner of my robe till I put them by his side
and
went away. When he finished, I walked with him and asked, "What
about
the bone and the animal dung?" He said, "They are of the food of
Jinns. The delegate of Jinns of (the city of) Nasibin came to
me--and
how nice those Jinns were--and asked me for the remains of the
human
food. I invoked Allah for them that they would never pass by a bone
or
animal dung but find food on them."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

When Abu Dhar received the news of the Advent of the Prophet he
said
to his brother, "Ride to this valley (of Mecca) and try to find out

the truth of the person who claims to be a prophet who is informed
of
the news of Heaven. Listen to what he says and come back to me." So

his brother set out and came to the Prophet and listened to some of

his talks, and returned to Abu Dhar and said to him. "I have seen
him
enjoining virtuous behavior and saying something that is not
poetry."
Abu Dhar said, "You have not satisfied me as to what I wanted." He
then took his journey-food and carried a water-skin of his,
containing
some water till be reached Mecca. He went to the Mosque and
searched
for the Prophet and though he did not know him, he hated to ask
anybody about him. When a part of the night had passed away, 'Ali
saw
him and knew that he was a stranger. So when Abu Dhar saw 'Ali, he
followed him, and none of them asked his companion about anything,
and
when it was dawn, Abu Dhar took his journey food and his water-skin
to
the Mosque and stayed there all the day long without being
perceived
by the Prophet, and when it was evening, he came back to his
retiring
place. 'Ali passed by him and said, "Has the man not known his
dwelling place yet?" So 'Ali awakened him and took him with him and

none of them spoke to the other about anything. When it was the
third
day. 'Ali did the same and Abu Dhar stayed with him. Then 'Ali said

"Will you tell me what has brought you here?" Abu Dhar said, "If
you
give me a firm promise that you will guide me, then I will tell
you."
'Ali promised him, and he informed 'Ali about the matter. 'Ali
said,
"It is true, and he is the Apostle of Allah. Next morning when you
get
up, accompany me, and if I see any danger for you, I will stop as
if
to pass water, but if I go on, follow me and enter the place which I

will enter." Abu Dhar did so, and followed 'Ali till he entered the

place of the Prophet, and Abu Dhar went in with him, Abu Dhar
listened
to some of the Prophet's talks and embraced Islam on the spot. The
Prophet said to him, "Go back to your people and inform them (about

it) till you receive my order." Abu Dhar said, "By Him in Whose
Hand
my life is, I will proclaim my conversion loudly amongst them (i.e.

the pagans)." So he went out, and when he reached the Mosque, he
said
as loudly as possible, "I bear witness that None has the right to
be
worshipped except Allah, and Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah." The

People got up and beat him painfully. Then Al-Abbas came and knelt
over him ((to protect him) and said (to the people), "Woe to you!
Don't you know that this man belongs to the tribe of Ghifar and
your
trade to Sha'm is through their way?" So he rescued him from them.
Abu
Dhar again did the same the next day. They beat him and took
vengeance
on him and again Al-Abbas knelt over him (to protect him).

Narrated Qais:

I heard Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail saying in the mosque of
Al-Kufa. "By Allah, I have seen myself tied and forced by 'Umar to
leave Islam before 'Umar himself embraced Islam. And if the
mountain
of Uhud could move from its place for the evil which you people
have
done to 'Uthman, then it would have the right to move from its
place."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mus'ud:

We have been powerful since 'Umar embraced Islam.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar:

While 'Umar was at home in a state of fear, there came Al-'As bin
Wail
As-Sahmi Abu 'Amr, wearing an embroidered cloak and a shirt having
silk hems. He was from the tribe of Bani Sahm who were our allies
during the pre-Islamic period of ignorance. Al-'As said to 'Umar
"What
is wrong with you?" He said, "Your people claim that they would
kill
me if I become a Muslim." Al-'As said, "Nobody will harm you after I

have given protection to you." So Al-'As went out and met the
people
streaming in the whole valley. He said, "Where are you going?" They

said, "We want Ibn Al-Khattab who has embraced Islam." Al-'As said,

"There is no way for anybody to touch him." So the people
retreated.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

When 'Umar embraced Islam, all The (disbelieving) people gathered
around his home and said, "'Umar has embraced Islam." At that time I

was still a boy and was on the roof of my house. There came a man
wearing a cloak of Dibaj (i.e. a kind of silk), and said, "Umar has

embraced Islam. Nobody can harm him for I am his protector." I then

saw the people going away from 'Umar and asked who the man was, and

they said, "Al-'As bin Wail."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

I never heard 'Umar saying about something that he thought it would
be
so-and-so, but he was quite right. Once, while 'Umar was sitting, a

handsome man passed by him, 'Umar said, "If I am not wrong, this
person is still on his religion of the pre-lslamic period of
ignorance
or he was their foreteller. Call the man to me." When the man was
called to him, he told him of his thought. The man said, "I have
never
seen such a day on which a Muslim is faced with such an
accusation."
'Umar said, "I am determined that you should tell me the truth." He

said, "I was a foreteller in the pre-lslamic period of ignorance."
Then 'Umar said, "Tell me the most astonishing thing your female
Jinn
has told you of." He said, "One-day while I was in the market, she
came to me scared and said, 'Haven't you seen the Jinns and their
despair and they were overthrown after their defeat (and prevented
from listening to the news of the heaven) so that they (stopped
going
to the sky and) kept following camel-riders (i.e. 'Arabs)?" 'Umar
said, "He is right." and added, "One day while I was near their
idols,
there came a man with a calf and slaughtered it as a sacrifice (for

the idols). An (unseen) creature shouted at him, and I have never
heard harsher than his voice. He was crying, 'O you bold evil-doer!
A
matter of success! An eloquent man is saying: None has the right to
be
worshipped except you (O Allah).' On that the people fled, but I
said,
'I shall not go away till I know what is behind this.' Then the cry

came again: 'O you bold evil-doer! A matter of success! An eloquent

man is saying: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.' I

then went away and a few days later it was said, "A prophet has
appeared."

Narrated Qais:

I heard Said bin Zaid saying to the people, "If you but saw me and
'Umar's sister tied and forced by 'Umar to leave Islam while he was

not yet a Muslim. And if the mountain of Uhud could move from its
place for the evil which you people have done to Uthman, it would
have
the right to do that."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The people of Mecca asked Allah's Apostle to show them a miracle.
So
he showed them the moon split in two halves between which they saw
the
Hiram' mountain.

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The moon was split ( into two pieces ) while we were with the
Prophet
in Mina. He said, "Be witnesses." Then a Piece of the moon went
towards the mountain.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:

During the lifetime of Allah's Apostle the moon was split (into two

places).

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The moon was split (into two pieces).

Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Adi bin Al-Khiyar:

That Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu

Yaghuth had said to him, "What prevents you from speaking to your
uncle 'Uthman regarding his brother Al-Walid bin 'Uqba?" The people

were speaking against the latter for what he had done. 'Ubaidullah
said, "So I kept waiting for 'Uthman, and when he went out for the
prayer, I said to him, 'I have got something to say to you as a
piece
of advice.' 'Uthman said, 'O man! I seek Refuge with Allah from
you.
So I went away. When I finished my prayer, I sat with Al-Miswar and

Ibn 'Abu Yaghuth and talked to both of them of what I had said to
'Uthman and what he had said to me. They said, 'You have done your
duty.' So while I was sitting with them. 'Uthman's Messenger came
to
me. They said, 'Allah has put you to trial." I set out and when I
reached 'Uthman, he said, 'What is your advice which you mentioned a

while ago?' I recited Tashahhud and added, 'Allah has sent Muhammad

and has revealed the Holy Book (i.e. Quran) to him. You (O Uthman!)

were amongst those who responded to the call of Allah and His
Apostle
and had faith in him. And you took part in the first two migrations

(to Ethiopia and to Medina), and you enjoyed the company of Allah's

Apostle and learned his traditions and advice. Now the people are
talking much about Al-Walid bin 'Uqba and so it is your duty to
impose
on him the legal punishment.' 'Uthman then said to me, 'O my
nephew!
Did you ever meet Allah's Apostle ?' I said, 'No, but his knowledge

has reached me as it has reached the virgin in her seclusion.'
'Uthman
then recited Tashahhud and said, 'No doubt, Allah has sent Muhammad

with the Truth and has revealed to him His Holy Book (i.e. Quran)
and
I was amongst those who responded to the call of Allah and His
Apostle
and I had faith in Muhammad's Mission, and I had performed the
first
two migrations as you have said, and I enjoyed the company of
Allah's
Apostle and gave the pledge of allegiance to him. By Allah, I never

disobeyed him and never cheated him till Allah caused him to die.
Then
Allah made Abu Bakr Caliph, and by Allah, I was never disobedient
to
him, nor did I cheat him. Then 'Umar became Caliph, and by Allah, I

was never disobedient to him, nor did I cheat him. Then I became
Caliph. Have I not then the same rights over you as they had over
me?'
I replied in the affirmative. 'Uthman further said, 'The what are
these talks which are reaching me from you? As for what you ha
mentioned about Al-Walid bin 'Uqb; Allah willing, I shall give him
the
leg; punishment justly. Then Uthman ordered that Al-Walid be
flogged
fort lashes. He ordered 'Ali to flog him an he himself flogged him
as
well."

Narrated 'Aisha:

Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned a church they had seen in
Ethiopia
and in the church there were pictures. When they told the Prophet
of
this, he said, "Those people are such that if a pious man amongst
them
died, they build a place of worship over his grave and paint these
pictures in it. Those people will be Allah's worst creatures on the

Day of Resurrection . "

Narrated Um Khalid bint Khalid:

When I came from Ethiopia (to Medina), I was a young girl. Allah's
Apostle made me wear a sheet having marks on it. Allah's Apostle
was
rubbing those marks with his hands saying, "Sanah! Sanah!" (i.e.
good,
good).

Narrated 'Abdullah:

We used to greet the Prophet while he used to be in prayers, and he

used to reply to our greetings. But when we came back from Najashi
(the King of Ethiopia) we greeted him (while he was praying) and he

did not reply to us. We said, "O Allah's Apostle! We used to greet
you
in the past and you used to reply to us." He said, "Verily The Mind
is
occupied and busy with more important matter during the prayer."
(So
one cannot return One's greetings.)

Narrated Abu Musa:

We received the news of the departure of the Prophet (to Medina)
while
we were in Yemen. So we went on board a ship but our ship took us
away
to An-Najashi (the Negus) in Ethiopia. There we met Ja'far bin Abi
Talib and stayed with him till we came (to Medina) by the time when

the Prophet had conquered Khaibar. The Prophet said, "O you people
of
the ship! You will have (the reward of) two migrations."

Narrated Jabir:

When Negus died, the Prophet said, "Today a pious man has died. So
get
up and offer the funeral prayer for your brother Ashama

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari:

Allah's Apostle led the funeral prayer for the Negus and made us
stand
in rows behind him and I was in the second or third row.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

The Prophet offered the funeral prayer for Ashama, the Negus, with
four Takbir.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

that Allah's Apostle informed them (i.e. his companions) of the
death
of Negus, the king of Ethiopia, on the very day on which the latter

died, and said, "Ask Allah's Forgiveness for your brother" Abu
Huraira
further said, "Allah's Apostle made them (i.e. the Muslims) stand
in
rows at the Musalla (i.e. praying place) and led the funeral prayer

for the Negus and said four Takbir."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle, while going out for the battle of Hunain, said,
"Tomorrow Allah willing, we will encamp at Khaif Bani Kinana where
the
pagans(of Quraish) took the oath of Kufr (against the Prophet i.e.
to
be loyal to heathenism, by boycotting Banu Hashim, the Prophet's
folk,
See Hadith No. 659 Vol. 2) .

Narrated Al-Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib:

That he said to the Prophet "You have not been of any avail to your

uncle (Abu Talib) (though) by Allah, he used to protect you and
used
to become angry on your behalf." The Prophet said, "He is in a
shallow
fire, and had It not been for me, he would have been in the bottom
of
the (Hell) Fire."

Narrated Al-Musaiyab:

When Abu Talib was in his death bed, the Prophet went to him while
Abu
Jahl was sitting beside him. The Prophet said, "O my uncle! Say:
None
has the right to be worshipped except Allah, an expression I will
defend your case with, before Allah." Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin
Umaya
said, "O Abu Talib! Will you leave the religion of 'Abdul
Muttalib?"
So they kept on saying this to him so that the last statement he
said
to them (before he died) was: "I am on the religion of 'Abdul
Muttalib." Then the Prophet said, " I will keep on asking for
Allah's
Forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so." Then the
following Verse was revealed:--

"It is not fitting for the Prophet and the believers to ask Allah's

Forgiveness for the pagans, even if they were their near relatives,

after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the

(Hell) Fire." (9.113)

The other Verse was also revealed:-- "(O Prophet!) Verily, you
guide
not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will ......." (28.56)

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

That he heard the Prophet when somebody mentioned his uncle (i.e.
Abu
Talib), saying, "Perhaps my intercession will be helpful to him on
the
Day of Resurrection so that he may be put in a shallow fire
reaching
only up to his ankles. His brain will boil from it."

Narrated Yazid:

(as above, Hadith 224) using the words: "will make his brain boil."

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

That he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "When the people of Quraish
did
not believe me (i.e. the story of my Night Journey), I stood up in
Al-Hijr and Allah displayed Jerusalem in front of me, and I began
describing it to them while I was looking at it."

Narrated Abbas bin Malik:

Malik bin Sasaa said that Allah's Apostle described to them his
Night
Journey saying, "While I was lying in Al-Hatim or Al-Hijr, suddenly

someone came to me and cut my body open from here to here." I asked

Al-Jarud who was by my side, "What does he mean?" He said, "It
means
from his throat to his pubic area," or said, "From the top of the
chest." The Prophet further said, "He then took out my heart. Then a

gold tray of Belief was brought to me and my heart was washed and
was
filled (with Belief) and then returned to its original place. Then a

white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey

was brought to me." (On this Al-Jarud asked, "Was it the Buraq, O
Abu
Hamza?" I (i.e. Anas) replied in the affirmative). The Prophet
said,
"The animal's step (was so wide that it) reached the farthest point

within the reach of the animal's sight. I was carried on it, and
Gabriel set out with me till we reached the nearest heaven.

When he asked for the gate to be opened, it was asked, 'Who is it?'

Gabriel answered, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying
you?'
Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has Muhammad been
called?'
Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is
welcomed.
What an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened, and when I
went
over the first heaven, I saw Adam there. Gabriel said (to me).
'This
is your father, Adam; pay him your greetings.' So I greeted him and
he
returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious
son
and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me till we reached
the
second heaven. Gabriel asked for the gate to be opened. It was
asked,
'Who is it?' Gabriel answered, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is
accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has
he
been called?' Gabriel answered in the affirmative. Then it was
said,
'He is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!' The gate was
opened.

When I went over the second heaven, there I saw Yahya (i.e. John)
and
'Isa (i.e. Jesus) who were cousins of each other. Gabriel said (to
me), 'These are John and Jesus; pay them your greetings.' So I
greeted
them and both of them returned my greetings to me and said, 'You
are
welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended

with me to the third heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It

was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.' It was asked,
'Who
is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked,
'Has
he been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was
said,
'He is welcomed, what an excellent visit his is!' The gate was
opened,
and when I went over the third heaven there I saw Joseph. Gabriel
said
(to me), 'This is Joseph; pay him your greetings.' So I greeted him

and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O
pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to
the
fourth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked,
'Who
is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel' It was asked, 'Who is
accompanying
you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been
called?'
Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is
welcomed,
what an excel lent visit his is!'

The gate was opened, and when I went over the fourth heaven, there I

saw Idris. Gabriel said (to me), 'This is Idris; pay him your
greetings.' So I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and

said, 'You are welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then
Gabriel ascended with me to the fifth heaven and asked for its gate
to
be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.'
It
was asked. 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.'
It
was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied in the
affirmative.
Then it was said He is welcomed, what an excellent visit his is! So

when I went over the fifth heaven, there I saw Harun (i.e. Aaron),
Gabriel said, (to me). This is Aaron; pay him your greetings.' I
greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are
welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended

with me to the sixth heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It

was asked. 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.' It was asked,
'Who
is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked,
'Has
he been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. It was said,
'He
is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!'

When I went (over the sixth heaven), there I saw Moses. Gabriel
said
(to me),' This is Moses; pay him your greeting. So I greeted him
and
he returned the greetings to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O
pious
brother and pious Prophet.' When I left him (i.e. Moses) he wept.
Someone asked him, 'What makes you weep?' Moses said, 'I weep
because
after me there has been sent (as Prophet) a young man whose
followers
will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my followers.' Then
Gabriel ascended with me to the seventh heaven and asked for its
gate
to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied,
'Gabriel.'
It was asked,' Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied,
'Muhammad.'
It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied in the
affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed. What an excellent
visit his is!'

So when I went (over the seventh heaven), there I saw Abraham.
Gabriel
said (to me), 'This is your father; pay your greetings to him.' So I

greeted him and he returned the greetings to me and said, 'You are
welcomed, O pious son and pious Prophet.' Then I was made to ascend
to
Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. the Lote Tree of the utmost boundary)
Behold!
Its fruits were like the jars of Hajr (i.e. a place near Medina)
and
its leaves were as big as the ears of elephants. Gabriel said,
'This
is the Lote Tree of the utmost boundary) . Behold ! There ran four
rivers, two were hidden and two were visible, I asked, 'What are
these
two kinds of rivers, O Gabriel?' He replied,' As for the hidden
rivers, they are two rivers in Paradise and the visible rivers are
the
Nile and the Euphrates.'

Then Al-Bait-ul-Ma'mur (i.e. the Sacred House) was shown to me and a

container full of wine and another full of milk and a third full of

honey were brought to me. I took the milk. Gabriel remarked, 'This
is
the Islamic religion which you and your followers are following.'
Then
the prayers were enjoined on me: They were fifty prayers a day.
When I
returned, I passed by Moses who asked (me), 'What have you been
ordered to do?' I replied, 'I have been ordered to offer fifty
prayers
a day.' Moses said, 'Your followers cannot bear fifty prayers a
day,
and by Allah, I have tested people before you, and I have tried my
level best with Bani Israel (in vain). Go back to your Lord and ask

for reduction to lessen your followers' burden.' So I went back,
and
Allah reduced ten prayers for me. Then again I came to Moses, but
he
repeated the same as he had said before. Then again I went back to
Allah and He reduced ten more prayers. When I came back to Moses he

said the same, I went back to Allah and He ordered me to observe
ten
prayers a day. When I came back to Moses, he repeated the same
advice,
so I went back to Allah and was ordered to observe five prayers a
day.

When I came back to Moses, he said, 'What have you been ordered?' I

replied, 'I have been ordered to observe five prayers a day.' He
said,
'Your followers cannot bear five prayers a day, and no doubt, I
have
got an experience of the people before you, and I have tried my
level
best with Bani Israel, so go back to your Lord and ask for
reduction
to lessen your follower's burden.' I said, 'I have requested so
much
of my Lord that I feel ashamed, but I am satisfied now and
surrender
to Allah's Order.' When I left, I heard a voice saying, 'I have
passed
My Order and have lessened the burden of My Worshipers."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Regarding the Statement of Allah"

"And We granted the vision (Ascension to the heavens) which We made

you see (as an actual eye witness) was only made as a trial for the

people." (17.60)

Ibn Abbas added: The sights which Allah's Apostle was shown on the
Night Journey when he was taken to Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e. Jerusalem)
were
actual sights, (not dreams). And the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the

Quran is the tree of Zaqqum (itself) .

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Ka'b:

Who was Kab's guide when Ka'b turned blind: I heard Ka'b bin Malik
narrating: When he remained behind (i.e. did not Join) the Prophet
in
the Ghazwa of Tabuk. Ibn Bukair, in his narration stated that Ka'b
said, " I witnessed the Al-'Aqaba pledge of allegiance at night
with
the Prophet when we jointly agreed to support Islam with all our
efforts I would not like to have attended the Badr battle instead
of
that 'Aqaba pledge although Badr is more well-known than it,
amongst
the people."

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

I was present with my two maternal uncles at Al-'Aqaba (where the
pledge of allegiance was given). (Ibn 'Uyaina said, "One of the two

was Al-Bara' bin Marur.")

Narrated Jabir:

My father, my two maternal uncles and I were among those who took
part
in the 'Aqaba Pledge.

Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:

Who had taken part in the battle of Badr with Allah's Apostle and
had
been amongst his companions on the night of Al-'Aqaba Pledge:
Allah's
Apostle, surrounded by a group of his companions said, "Come along
and
give me the pledge of allegiance that you will not worship anything

besides Allah, will not steal, will not commit illegal sexual
intercourse will not kill your children, will not utter; slander,
invented by yourself, and will not disobey me if I order you to do
something good. Whoever among you will respect and fulfill this
pledge, will be rewarded by Allah. And if one of you commits any of

these sins and is punished in this world then that will be his
expiation for it, and if one of you commits any of these sins and
Allah screens his sin, then his matter, will rest with Allah: If He

will, He will punish him and if He will,. He will excuse him." So I

gave the pledge of allegiance to him for these conditions.

Narrated 'Ubada bin As Samit:

I was one of the Naqibs who gave the ('Aqaba) Pledge of Allegiance
to
Allah's Apostle . We gave the pledge of allegiance to him that we
would not worship anything other than Allah, would not steal, would

not commit illegal sexual intercourse, would not kill a person
whose
killing Allah has made illegal except rightfully, would not rob
each
other, and we would not be promised Paradise jf we did the above
sins,
then if we committed one of the above sins, Allah will give His
Judgment concerning it.

Narrated Aisha:

The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to

Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I

got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my

mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with
some
of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing
what
she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand
at
the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing

became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head
with
it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some
Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good

luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the
marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon
and
my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of
nine
years of age.

Narrated 'Aisha:

That the Prophet said to her, "You have been shown to me twice in
my
dream. I saw you pictured on a piece of silk and some-one said (to
me). 'This is your wife.' When I uncovered the picture, I saw that
it
was yours. I said, 'If this is from Allah, it will be done."

Narrated Hisham's father:

Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He
stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when
she
was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when
she
was nine years old.

Narrated Abu Wail:

We visited Khabbaba who said, "We migrated with the Prophet for
Allah's Sake, so our reward became due and sure with Allah. Some of
us
passed away without taking anything of their rewards (in this
world)
and one of them was Mus'ab bin 'Umar who was martyred on the day
(of
the battle) of Uhud leaving a striped woolen cloak. When we covered

his head with it, his feet became naked, and when covered his feet,

his head became naked.

So Allah's Apostle ordered us to cover his head and put some
Idhkhir
(i.e. a special kind of grass) on his feet. (On the other hand)
some
of us have had their fruits ripened (in this world) and they are
collecting them."

Narrated 'Umar:

I heard the Prophet saying, "The reward of deeds depends on the
intentions, so whoever emigrated for the worldly benefits or to
marry
a woman, his emigration was for that for which he emigrated, but
whoever emigrated for the Sake of Allah and His Apostle, his
emigration is for Allah and His Apostle."

Narrated Mujahid bin Jabir Al-Makki:

Abdullah bin 'Umar used to say, "There is no more Hijrah (i.e.
migration) after the Conquest of Mecca."

Narrated 'Ata bin Abi Rabah:

'Ubaid bin 'Umar Al-Laithi and I visited Aisha and asked her about
the
Hijra (i.e. migration), and she said, "Today there is no (Hijrah)
emigration. A believer used to run away with his religion to Allah
and
His Apostle lest he should be put to trial because of his religion.

Today Allah has made Islam triumphant, and today a believer can
worship his Lord wherever he likes. But the deeds that are still
rewardable (in place of emigration) are Jihad and good intentions."

(See Hadith No. 42 Vol. 4).

Narrated Aisha:

Sad said, "O Allah! You know that there is none against whom I am
eager to fight more willingly for Your Cause than those people who
disbelieved Your Apostle and drove him out (of his city). O Allah! I

think that You have ended the fight between us and them."

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Allah's Apostle started receiving the Divine Inspiration at the age
of
forty. Then he stayed in Mecca for thirteen years, receiving the
Divine Revelation. Then he was ordered to migrate and he lived as
an
Emigrant for ten years and then died at the age of sixty-three
(years).

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Allah's Apostle stayed in Mecca for thirteen years (after receiving

the first Divine Inspiration) and died at the age of sixty-three.

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

Allah's Apostle sat on the pulpit and said, "Allah has given one of

His Slaves the choice of receiving the splendor and luxury of the
worldly life whatever he likes or to accept the good (of the
Hereafter) which is with Allah. So he has chosen that good which is

with Allah." On that Abu Bakr wept and said, "Our fathers and
mothers
be sacrificed for you." We became astonished at this. The people
said,
"Look at this old man! Allah's Apostle talks about a Slave of Allah
to
whom He has given the option to choose either the splendor of this
worldly life or the good which is with Him, while he says. 'our
fathers and mothers be sacrifice(i for you." But it was Allah's
Apostle who had been given option, and Abu Bakr knew it better
than
we. Allah's Apostle added, "No doubt, I am indebted to Abu Bakr
more
than to anybody else regarding both his companionship and his
wealth.
And if I had to take a Khalil from my followers, I would certainly
have taken Abu Bakr, but the fraternity of Islam is. sufficient.
Let
no door (i.e. Khoukha) of the Mosque remain open, except the door
of
Abu Bakr."

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the wife of the Prophet) I never remembered my parents believing
in
any religion other than the true religion (i.e. Islam), and (I
don't
remember) a single day passing without our being visited by Allah's

Apostle in the morning and in the evening. When the Muslims were
put
to test (i.e. troubled by the pagans), Abu Bakr set out migrating
to
the land of Ethiopia, and when he reached Bark-al-Ghimad, Ibn
Ad-Daghina, the chief of the tribe of Qara, met him and said, "O
Abu
Bakr! Where are you going?" Abu Bakr replied, "My people have
turned
me out (of my country), so I want to wander on the earth and
worship
my Lord." Ibn Ad-Daghina said, "O Abu Bakr! A man like you should
not
leave his home-land, nor should he be driven out, because you help
the
destitute, earn their livings, and you keep good relations with
your
Kith and kin, help the weak and poor, entertain guests generously,
and
help the calamity-stricken persons. Therefore I am your protector.
Go
back and worship your Lord in your town."

So Abu Bakr returned and Ibn Ad-Daghina accompanied him. In the
evening Ibn Ad-Daghina visited the nobles of Quraish and said to
them.
"A man like Abu Bakr should not leave his homeland, nor should he
be
driven out. Do you (i.e. Quraish) drive out a man who helps the
destitute, earns their living, keeps good relations with his Kith
and
kin, helps the weak and poor, entertains guests generously and
helps
the calamity-stricken persons?" So the people of Quraish could not
refuse Ibn Ad-Daghina's protection, and they said to Ibn
Ad-Daghina,
"Let Abu Bakr worship his Lord in his house. He can pray and recite

there whatever he likes, but he should not hurt us with it, and
should
not do it publicly, because we are afraid that he may affect our
women
and children." Ibn Ad-Daghina told Abu Bakr of all that. Abu Bakr
stayed in that state, worshipping his Lord in his house. He did not

pray publicly, nor did he recite Quran outside his house.

Then a thought occurred to Abu Bakr to build a mosque in front of
his
house, and there he used to pray and recite the Quran. The women
and
children of the pagans began to gather around him in great number.
They used to wonder at him and look at him. Abu Bakr was a man who
used to weep too much, and he could not help weeping on reciting
the
Quran. That situation scared the nobles of the pagans of Quraish,
so
they sent for Ibn Ad-Daghina. When he came to them, they said, "We
accepted your protection of Abu Bakr on condition that he should
worship his Lord in his house, but he has violated the conditions
and
he has built a mosque in front of his house where he prays and
recites
the Quran publicly. We are now afraid that he may affect our women
and
children unfavorably. So, prevent him from that. If he likes to
confine the worship of his Lord to his house, he may do so, but if
he
insists on doing that openly, ask him to release you from your
obligation to protect him, for we dislike to break our pact with
you,
but we deny Abu Bakr the right to announce his act publicly." Ibn
Ad-Daghina went to Abu- Bakr and said, ("O Abu Bakr!) You know well

what contract I have made on your behalf; now, you are either to
abide
by it, or else release me from my obligation of protecting you,
because I do not want the 'Arabs hear that my people have
dishonored a
contract I have made on behalf of another man." Abu Bakr replied,
"I
release you from your pact to protect me, and am pleased with the
protection from Allah."

At that time the Prophet was in Mecca, and he said to the Muslims,
"In
a dream I have been shown your migration place, a land of date palm

trees, between two mountains, the two stony tracts." So, some
people
migrated to Medina, and most of those people who had previously
migrated to the land of Ethiopia, returned to Medina. Abu Bakr also

prepared to leave for Medina, but Allah's Apostle said to him,
"Wait
for a while, because I hope that I will be allowed to migrate
also."
Abu Bakr said, "Do you indeed expect this? Let my father be
sacrificed
for you!" The Prophet said, "Yes." So Abu Bakr did not migrate for
the
sake of Allah's Apostle in order to accompany him. He fed two
she-camels he possessed with the leaves of As-Samur tree that fell
on
being struck by a stick for four months.

One day, while we were sitting in Abu Bakr's house at noon, someone

said to Abu Bakr, "This is Allah's Apostle with his head covered
coming at a time at which he never used to visit us before." Abu
Bakr
said, "May my parents be sacrificed for him. By Allah, he has not
come
at this hour except for a great necessity." So Allah's Apostle came

and asked permission to enter, and he was allowed to enter. When he

entered, he said to Abu Bakr. "Tell everyone who is present with
you
to go away." Abu Bakr replied, "There are none but your family. May
my
father be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said,
"i
have been given permission to migrate." Abu Bakr said, "Shall I
accompany you? May my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah's
Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said, "Yes." Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's
Apostle! May my father be sacrificed for you, take one of these two

she-camels of mine." Allah's Apostle replied, "(I will accept it)
with
payment." So we prepared the baggage quickly and put some journey
food
in a leather bag for them. Asma, Abu Bakr's daughter, cut a piece
from
her waist belt and tied the mouth of the leather bag with it, and
for
that reason she was named Dhat-un-Nitaqain (i.e. the owner of two
belts).

Then Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr reached a cave on the mountain of

Thaur and stayed there for three nights. 'Abdullah bin Abi Bakr who

was intelligent and a sagacious youth, used to stay (with them)
aver
night. He used to leave them before day break so that in the
morning
he would be with Quraish as if he had spent the night in Mecca. He
would keep in mind any plot made against them, and when it became
dark
he would (go and) inform them of it. 'Amir bin Fuhaira, the freed
slave of Abu Bakr, used to bring the milch sheep (of his master,
Abu
Bakr) to them a little while after nightfall in order to rest the
sheep there. So they always had fresh milk at night, the milk of
their
sheep, and the milk which they warmed by throwing heated stones in
it.
'Amir bin Fuhaira would then call the herd away when it was still
dark
(before daybreak). He did the same in each of those three nights.
Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr had hired a man from the tribe of Bani

Ad-Dail from the family of Bani Abd bin Adi as an expert guide, and
he
was in alliance with the family of Al-'As bin Wail As-Sahmi and he
was
on the religion of the infidels of Quraish. The Prophet and Abu
Bakr
trusted him and gave him their two she-camels and took his promise
to
bring their two she camels to the cave of the mountain of Thaur in
the
morning after three nights later. And (when they set out), 'Amir
bin
Fuhaira and the guide went along with them and the guide led them
along the sea-shore.

The nephew of Suraqa bin Ju'sham said that his father informed him
that he heard Suraqa bin Ju'sham saying, "The messengers of the
heathens of Quraish came to us declaring that they had assigned for

the persons why would kill or arrest Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr, a

reward equal to their bloodmoney. While I was sitting in one of the

gatherings of my tribe. Bani Mudlij, a man from them came to us and

stood up while we were sitting, and said, "O Suraqa! No doubt, I
have
just seen some people far away on the seashore, and I think they
are
Muhammad and his companions." Suraqa added, "I too realized that it

must have been they. But I said 'No, it is not they, but you have
seen
so-and-so, and so-and-so whom we saw set out.' I stayed in the
gathering for a while and then got up and left for my home. and
ordered my slave-girl to get my horse which was behind a hillock,
and
keep it ready for me.

Then I took my spear and left by the back door of my house dragging

the lower end of the spear on the ground and keeping it low. Then I

reached my horse, mounted it and made it gallop. When I approached
them (i.e. Muhammad and Abu Bakr), my horse stumbled and I fell
down
from it, Then I stood up, got hold of my quiver and took out the
divining arrows and drew lots as to whether I should harm them
(i.e.
the Prophet and Abu Bakr) or not, and the lot which I disliked came

out. But I remounted my horse and let it gallop, giving no
importance
to the divining arrows. When I heard the recitation of the Quran by

Allah's Apostle who did not look hither and thither while Abu Bakr
was
doing it often, suddenly the forelegs of my horse sank into the
ground
up to the knees, and I fell down from it. Then I rebuked it and it
got
up but could hardly take out its forelegs from the ground, and when
it
stood up straight again, its fore-legs caused dust to rise up in
the
sky like smoke. Then again I drew lots with the divining arrows,
and
the lot which I disliked, came out. So I called upon them to feel
secure. They stopped, and I remounted my horse and went to them.
When
I saw how I had been hampered from harming them, it came to my mind

that the cause of Allah's Apostle (i.e. Islam) will become
victorious.
So I said to him, "Your people have assigned a reward equal to the
bloodmoney for your head." Then I told them all the plans the
people
of Mecca had made concerning them. Then I offered them some journey

food and goods but they refused to take anything and did not ask
for
anything, but the Prophet said, "Do not tell others about us." Then
I
requested him to write for me a statement of security and peace. He

ordered 'Amr bin Fuhaira who wrote it for me on a parchment, and
then
Allah's Apostle proceeded on his way.

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Allah's Apostle met Az-Zubair in a
caravan of Muslim merchants who were returning from Sham. Az-Zubair

provided Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr with white clothes to wear.
When
the Muslims of Medina heard the news of the departure of Allah's
Apostle from Mecca (towards Medina), they started going to the
Harra
every morning . They would wait for him till the heat of the noon
forced them to return. One day, after waiting for a long while,
they
returned home, and when they went into their houses, a Jew climbed
up
the roof of one of the forts of his people to look for some thing,
and
he saw Allah's Apostle and his companions dressed in white clothes,

emerging out of the desert mirage.

The Jew could not help shouting at the top of his voice, "O you
'Arabs! Here is your great man whom you have been waiting for!" So
all
the Muslims rushed to their arms and received Allah's Apostle on
the
summit of Harra. The Prophet turned with them to the right and
alighted at the quarters of Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf, and this was on
Monday
in the month of Rabi-ul-Awal. Abu Bakr stood up, receiving the
people
while Allah's Apostle sat down and kept silent. Some of the Ansar
who
came and had not seen Allah's Apostle before, began greeting Abu
Bakr,
but when the sunshine fell on Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr came
forward and shaded him with his sheet only then the people came to
know Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle stayed with Bani 'Amr bin
'Auf
for ten nights and established the mosque (mosque of Quba) which
was
founded on piety. Allah's Apostle prayed in it and then mounted his

she-camel and proceeded on, accompanied by the people till his
she-camel knelt down at (the place of) the Mosque of Allah's
Apostle
at Medina. Some Muslims used to pray there in those days, and that
place was a yard for drying dates belonging to Suhail and Sahl, the

orphan boys who were under the guardianship of 'Asad bin Zurara.
When
his she-camel knelt down, Allah's Apostle said, "This place, Allah
willing, will be our abiding place." Allah's Apostle then called
the
two boys and told them to suggest a price for that yard so that he
might take it as a mosque. The two boys said, "No, but we will give
it
as a gift, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle then built a mosque
there. The Prophet himself started carrying unburnt bricks for its
building and while doing so, he was saying "This load is better
than
the load of Khaibar, for it is more pious in the Sight of Allah and

purer and better rewardable." He was also saying, "O Allah! The
actual
reward is the reward in the Hereafter, so bestow Your Mercy on the
Ansar and the Emigrants." Thus the Prophet recited (by way of
proverb)
the poem of some Muslim poet whose name is unknown to me.

(Ibn Shibab said, "In the Hadiths it does not occur that Allah's
Apostle

recited a complete poetic verse other than this one.")

Narrated Asma:

I prepared the journey food for the Prophet and Abu Bakr when they
wanted (to migrate to) Medina. I said to my father (Abu Bakr), "I
do
not have anything to tie the container of the journey food with
except
my waist belt." He said, "Divide it lengthwise into two." I did so,

and for this reason I was named 'Dhat-un-Nitaqain' (i.e. the owner
of
two belts). (Ibn 'Abbas said, "Asma', Dhat-un-Nitaq.")

Narrated Al-Bara:

When the Prophet migrated to Medina, Suraqa bin Malik bin Ju'sham
pursued him. The Prophet invoked evil on him, therefore the
forelegs
of his horse sank into the ground. Suraqa said (to the Prophet ),
"Invoke Allah to rescue me, and I will not harm you. "The Prophet
invoked Allah for him. Then Allah's Apostle felt thirsty and he
passed
by a shepherd. Abu Bakr said, "I took a bowl and milked a little
milk
in it and brought it to the Prophet and he drank till I was
pleased."

Narrated Asma:

That she conceived 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair. She added, "I migrated
to
Medina while I was at full term of pregnancy and alighted at Quba
where I gave birth to him. Then I brought him to the Prophet and
put
him in his lap. The Prophet asked for a date, chewed it, and put
some
of its juice in the child's mouth. So, the first thing that entered

the child's stomach was the saliva of Allah's Apostle. Then the
Prophet rubbed the child's palate with a date and invoked for
Allah's
Blessings on him, and he was the first child born amongst the
Emigrants in the Islamic Land (i.e. Medina).

Narrated Aisha:

The first child who was born in the Islamic Land (i.e. Medina)
amongst
the Emigrants, was 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair. They brought him to the

Prophet. The Prophet took a date, and after chewing it, put its
juice
in his mouth. So the first thing that went into the child's
stomach,
was the saliva of the Prophet

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle arrived at Medina with Abu Bakr, riding behind him
on
the same camel. Abu Bakr was an elderly man known to the people,
while
Allah's Apostle was a youth that was unknown. Thus, if a man met
Abu
Bakr, he would day, "O Abu Bakr! Who is this man in front of you?"
Abu
Bakr would say, "This man shows me the Way," One would think that
Abu
Bakr meant the road, while in fact, Abu Bakr meant the way of
virtue
and good. Then Abu Bakr looked behind and saw a horse-rider
persuing
them. He said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is a horse-rider persuing
us."
The Prophet looked behind and said, "O Allah! Cause him to fall
down."
So the horse threw him down and got up neighing. After that the
rider,
Suraqa said, "O Allah's Prophet! Order me whatever you want." The
Prophet said, "Stay where you are and do not allow anybody to reach

us." So, in the first part of the day Suraqa was an enemy of
Allah's
Prophet and in the last part of it, he was a protector. Then
Allah's
Apostle alighted by the side of the Al-Harra and sent a message to
the
Ansar, and they came to Allah's Prophet and Abu Bakr, and having
greeted them, they said, "Ride (your she-camels) safe and obeyed."
Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr rode and the Ansar, carrying their
arms,
surrounded them. The news that Allah's Prophet had come circulated
in
Medina. The people came out and were eagerly looking and saying
"Allah's Prophet has come! Allah's Prophet has come! So the Prophet

went on till he alighted near the house of Abu Aiyub. While the
Prophet was speaking with the family members of Abu Aiyub,
'Abdullah
bin Salam heard the news of his arrival while he himself was
picking
the dates for his family from his family garden. He hurried to the
Prophet carrying the dates which he had collected for his family
from
the garden. He listened to Allah's Prophet and then went home.

Then Allah's Prophet said, "Which is the nearest of the houses of
our
Kith and kin?" Abu Aiyub replied, "Mine, O Allah's Prophet! This is
my
house and this is my gate." The Prophet said, "Go and prepare a
place
for our midday rest." Abu Aiyub said, "Get up (both of you) with
Allah's Blessings." So when Allah's Prophet went into the house,
'Abdullah bin Salaim came and said "I testify that you (i.e.
Muhammad)
are Apostle of Allah and that you have come with the Truth. The
Jews
know well that I am their chief and the son of their chief and the
most learned amongst them and the son of the most learned amongst
them. So send for them (i.e. Jews) and ask them about me before
they
know that I have embraced Islam, for if they know that they will
say
about me things which are not correct." So Allah's Apostle sent for

them, and they came and entered. Allah's Apostle said to them, "O
(the
group of) Jews! Woe to you: be afraid of Allah. By Allah except
Whom
none has the right to be worshipped, you people know for certain,
that
I am Apostle of Allah and that I have come to you with the Truth,
so
embrace Islam." The Jews replied, "We do not know this." So they
said
this to the Prophet and he repeated it thrice. Then he said, "What
sort of a man is 'Abdullah bin Salam amongst you?" They said, "He
is
our chief and the son of our chief and the most learned man, and
the
son of the most learned amongst us." He said, "What would you think
if
he should embrace Islam?" They said, "Allah forbid! He can not
embrace
Islam." He said, " What would you think if he should embrace
Islam?"
They said, "Allah forbid! He can not embrace Islam." He said, "What

would you think if he should embrace Islam?" They said, "Allah
forbid!
He can not embrace Islam." He said, "O Ibn Salaim! Come out to
them."
He came out and said, "O (the group of) Jews! 8e afraid of Allah
except Whom none has the right to be worshipped. You know for
certain
that he is Apostle of Allah and that he has brought a True
Religion!'
They said, "You tell a lie." On that Allah's Apostle turned them
out.

Narrated Ibn Umar:

Umar bin Al-Khattab fixed a grant of 4000 (Dirhams) for every Early

Emigrant (i.e. Muhajir) and fixed a grant of 3500 (Dirhams) only
for
Ibn 'Umar. Somebody said to 'Umar, "Ibn 'Umar is also one of the
Early
Emigrants; why do you give him less than four-thousand?" 'Umar
replied, "His parents took him with them when they migrated, so he
was
not like the one who had migrated by himself.

Narrated Khabbab:

We migrated with Allah's Apostle (See Hadith No. 253 below).

Narrated Khabbab:

We migrated with Allah's Apostle seeking Allah's Countenance, so
our
rewards became due and sure with Allah. Some of us passed away
without
eating anything of their rewards in this world. One of these was
Mus'ab bin 'Umar who was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud.
We
did not find anything to shroud his body with except a striped
cloak.
When we covered his head with it, his feet remained uncovered, and
when we covered his feet with it, his head remained uncovered. So
Allah's Apostle ordered us to cover his head with it and put some
Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet. And there are some
amongst us whose fruits have ripened and they are collecting them
(i.e. they have received their rewards in this world).

Narrated Abu Burda Bin Abi Musa Al-Ashari:

'Abdullah bin 'Umar said to me, "Do you know what my father said to

your father once?" I said, "No." He said, "My father said to your
father, 'O Abu Musa, will it please you that we will be rewarded
for
our conversion to Islam with Allah's Apostle and our migration with

him, and our Jihad with him and all our good deeds which we did,
with
him, and that all the deeds we did after his death will be
disregarded
whether good or bad?' Your father (i.e. Abu Musa) said, 'No, by
Allah,
we took part in Jihad after Allah's Apostle , prayed and did plenty
of
good deeds, and many people have embraced Islam at our hands, and
no
doubt, we expect rewards from Allah for these good deeds.' On that
my
father (i.e. 'Umar) said, 'As for myself, By Him in Whose Hand
'Umar's
soul is, I wish that the deeds done by us at the time of the
Prophet
remain rewardable while whatsoever we did after the death of the
Prophet be enough to save us from Punishment in that the good deeds

compensate for the bad ones.' " On that I said (to Ibn 'Umar), "By
Allah, your father was better than my father!"

Narrated Abu 'Uthman:

I heard that Ibn 'Umar used to become angry if someone mentioned
that
he had migrated before his father ('Umar), and he used to say, "
'Umar
and I came to Allah's Apostle and found him having his midday rest,
so
we returned home. Then 'Umar sent me again (to the Prophet ) and
said,
'Go and see whether he is awake.' I went to him and entered his
place
and gave him the pledge of allegiance. Then I went back to 'Umar
and
informed him that the Prophet was awake. So we both went, running
slowly, and when 'Umar entered his place, he gave him the pledge of

allegiance and thereafter I too gave him the pledge of allegiance,"

Narrated Al-Bara:

Abu Bakr bought a (camel's) saddle from 'Azib, and I carried it for

him. 'Azib (i.e. my father) asked Abu Bakr regarding the journey of

the migration of Allah's Apostle. Abu Bakr said, "Close observers
were
appointed by our enemies to watch us. So we went out at night and
travelled throughout the night and the following day till it was
noon,
then we perceived a rock and went towards it, and there was some
shade
under it. I spread a cloak I had with me for Allah's Apostle and
then
the Prophet layed on it. I went out to guard him and all of a
sudden I
saw a shepherd coming with his sheep looking for the same, the
shade
of the rock as we did, I asked him, 'O boy, to whom do you belong?'
He
replied, 'I belong to so-and-so.' I asked him, 'Is there some milk
in
your sheep?' He replied in the affirmative. I asked him, 'Will you
milk?' He replied in the affirmative. Then he got hold of one of
his
sheep. I said to him, 'Remove the dust from its udder.' Then he
milked
a little milk. I had a water-skin with me which was tied with a
piece
of cloth. I had prepared the water-skin for Allah's Apostle . So I
poured some water over the milk (container) till its bottom became
cold. Then I brought the milk to the Prophet and said, 'Drink, O
Allah's Apostle.' Allah's Apostle drank till I became pleased. Then
we
departed and the pursuers were following us." Al-Bara added: I then

went with Abu Bakr into his home (carrying that saddle) and there I

saw his daughter 'Aisha Lying in a bed because of heavy fever and I

saw her father Abu Bakr kissing her cheek and saying, "How are you,

little daughter?"

Narrated Anas:

(the servant of the Prophet) When the Prophet arrived (at Medina),
there was not a single companion of the Prophet who had grey and
black
hair except Abu Bakr, and he dyed his hair with Henna' and Katam
(i.e.
plants used for dying hair). Through another group of narrators,
Anas
bin Malik said,. "When the Prophet arrived at Medina, the eldest
amongst his companions was Abu Bakr. He dyed his hair with Hinna
and
Katam till it became of dark red color.

Narrate Aisha:

Abu Bakr married a woman from the tribe of Bani Kalb, called Um
Bakr.
When Abu Bakr migrated to Medina, he divorced her and she was
married
by her cousin, the poet who said the following poem lamenting the
infidels of Quraish:

"What is there kept in the well, The well of Badr, (The owners of)
the
trays of Roasted camel humps? What is there kept in the well, The
well
of Badr, (The owners of) lady singers And friends of the honorable
companions; who used to drink (wine) together, Um Bakr greets us
With
the greeting of peace, But can I find peace After my people have
gone?
The Apostle tells us that We shall live again, But what sort of
life
will owls and skulls live?:

Narrated Abu Bakr:

I was with the Prophet in the Cave. When I raised my head, I saw
the
feet of the people. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! If some of them
should
look down, they will see us." The Prophet said, "O Abu Bakr, be
quiet!
(For we are) two and Allah is the Third of us."

Narrated Abu Said:

Once a bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him about the
migration.
The Prophet said, "Mercy of Allah be on you! The migration is a
quite
difficult matter. Have you got some camels?" He replied in the
affirmative. Then the Prophet said, "Do you give their Zakat?" He
replied in the affirmative. The Prophet said, "Do you let others
benefit by their milk gratis?" He replied in the affirmative. Then
the
Prophet asked, "Do you milk them on their watering days and give
their
milk to the poor and needy?" He replied in the affirmative. The
Prophet, said, "Go on doing like this from beyond the seas, and
there
is no doubt that Allah will not overlook any of your good deeds."

Narrated Al-Bara:

The first people who came to us (in Medina) were Mus'ab bin 'Umar
and
Ibn Um Maktum. Then came to us 'Ammar bin Yasir and Bilal.

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:

The first people who came to us (in Medina) were Mus'ab bin 'Umar
and
Ibn Um Maktum who were teaching Qur'an to the people. Then their
came
Bilal. Sad and 'Ammar bin Yasir. After that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
came
along with twenty other companions of the Prophet. Later on the
Prophet himself (to Medina) and I had never seen the people of
Medina
so joyful as they were on the arrival of Allah's Apostle, for even
the
slave girls were saying, "Allah's Apostle has arrived!" And before
his
arrival I had read the Sura starting with:-- "Glorify the Name of
your
Lord, the Most High" (87.1) together with other Suras of
Al-Mufassal.

Narrated 'Aisha:

When Allah's Apostle came to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal got fever,
and
I went to both of them and said, "O my father, how do you feel? O
Bilal, how do you feel?" Whenever Abu Bakr's fever got worse, he
would
say, "Every man will meet his death once in one morning while he
will
be among his family, for death is really nearer to him than his
leather shoe laces (to his feet)." And whenever fever deserted
Bilal,
he would say aloud, "Would that I know whether I shall spend a
night
in the valley (of Mecca) with Idhkhir and Jalil (i.e. kinds of
grass)
around me, and whether I shall drink one day the water of Mijannah,

and whether I shall see once again the hills of Shamah and Tafil?"
Then I went to Allah's Apostle and told him of that. He said, "O
Allah, make us love Medina as much as or more than we used to love
Mecca, O Allah, make it healthy and bless its Sa' and Mud (i.e.
measures), and take away its fever to Al-Juhfa."

Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin Ad bin Khiyair:

I went to Uthman. After reciting Tashah-hud, he said,. "Then after
no
doubt, Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth, and I was amongst those
who
responded to the Call of Allah and His Prophet and believed in the
message of Muhammad. Then took part in the two migrations. I became

the son-in-law of Allah's Apostle and gave the pledge of allegiance
to
him By Allah, I never disobeyed him, nor did I deceive him till
Allah
took him unto Him."

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

During the last Hajj led by 'Umar, 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf returned
to
his family at Mina and met me there. 'AbdurRahman said (to 'Umar),
"O
chief of the believers! The season of Hajj is the season when there

comes the scum of the people (besides the good amongst them), so I
recommend that you should wait till you go back to Medina, for it
is
the place of Migration and Sunna (i.e. the Prophet's tradition),
and
there you will be able to refer the matter to the religious
scholars
and the nobles and the people of wise opinions." 'Umar said, "I
will
speak of it in Medina on my very first sermon I will deliver
there."

Narrated 'Um al-'Ala:

An Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet
that
the Ansar drew lots concerning the dwelling of the Emigrants.
'Uthman
bin Maz'un was decided to dwell with them (i.e. Um al-'Ala's
family),
'Uthman fell ill and I nursed him till he died, and we covered him
with his clothes. Then the Prophet came to us and I (addressing the

dead body) said, "O Abu As-Sa'ib, may Allah's Mercy be on you! I
bear
witness that Allah has honored you." On that the Prophet said, "How
do
you know that Allah has honored him?" I replied, "I do not know.
May
my father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle!
But
who else is worthy of it (if not 'Uthman)?" He said, "As to him, by

Allah, death has overtaken him, and I hope the best for him. By
Allah,
though I am the Apostle of Allah, yet I do not know what Allah will
do
to me," By Allah, I will never assert the piety of anyone after
him.
That made me sad, and when I slept I saw in a dream a flowing
stream
for 'Uthman bin Maz'un. I went to Allah's Apostle and told him of
it.
He remarked, "That symbolizes his (good) deeds."

Narrated 'Aisha:

The day of Bu'ath was a day (i.e. battle) which Allah caused to
take
place just before the mission of His Apostle so that when Allah's
Apostle came to Medina, they (the tribes) had divided (into hostile

groups) and their nobles had been killed; and all that facilitated
their conversion to Islam.

Narrated Aisha:

That once Abu Bakr came to her on the day of 'Id-ul-Fitr or 'Id ul
Adha while the Prophet was with her and there were two girl singers

with her, singing songs of the Ansar about the day of Buath. Abu
Bakr
said twice. "Musical instrument of Satan!" But the Prophet said,
"Leave them Abu Bakr, for every nation has an 'Id (i.e. festival)
and
this day is our 'Id."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

When Allah's Apostle arrived at Medina, he alighted at the upper
part
of Medina among the people called Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf and he stayed
with them for fourteen nights. Then he sent for the chiefs of Bani
An-Najjar, and they came, carrying their swords. As if I am just
now
looking at Allah's Apostle on his she-camel with Abu Bakr riding
behind him (on the same camel) and the chiefs of Bani An-Najjar
around
him till he dismounted in the courtyard of Abu Aiyub's home. The
Prophet used to offer the prayer wherever the prayer was due, and
he
would pray even in sheepfolds. Then he ordered that the mosque be
built. He sent for the chiefs of Banu An-Najjar, and when they
came,
he said, "O Banu An-Najjar! Suggest to me the price of this garden
of
yours." They replied "No! By Allah, we do not demand its price
except
from Allah." In that garden there were the (following) things that I

will tell you: Graves of pagans, unleveled land with holes and pits

etc., and date-palm trees. Allah's Apostle ordered that the graves
of
the pagans be dug up and, the unleveled land be leveled and the
date-palm trees be cut down. The trunks of the trees were arranged
so
as to form the wall facing the Qibla. The Stone pillars were built
at
the sides of its gate. The companions of the Prophet were carrying
the
stones and reciting some lyrics, and Allah's Apostle . . was with
them
and they were saying, "O Allah! There is no good Excel the good of
the
Hereafter, so bestow victory on the Ansar and the Emigrants. "

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Humaid Az-Zuhri:

I heard 'Umar bin 'Abdul-Aziz asking As-Sa'ib, the nephew of
An-Nimr.
"What have you heard about residing in Mecca?" The other said, "I
heard Al-Ala bin Al-Hadrami saying, Allah's Apostle said: An
Emigrant
is allowed to stay in Mecca for three days after departing from
Mina
(i.e. after performing all the ceremonies of Hajj)"

Narrated Sahl bin Sad:

The Prophet's companions did not take as a starting date for the
Muslim calendar, the day, the Prophet had been sent as an Apostle
or
the day of his death, but the day of his arrival at Medina.

Narrated 'Aisha:

Originally, two Rakat were prescribed in every prayer. When the
Prophet migrated (to Medina) four Rakat were enjoined, while the
journey prayer remained unchanged(i.e. two Rakat).

Narrated Sad bin Malik:

In the year of Hajjat-ul-Wada' the Prophet visited me when I fell
ill
and was about to die because of that illness. I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I am very ill as you see, and I am a rich man and have no
heir except my only daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property in
charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I then give one half of it
in
charity?" He said, "O Sad! Give 1/3 (in charity) and even 1/3 is
too
much. No doubt, it is better to leave your children rich than to
leave
them poor, reduced to begging from others. And Allah will reward
you
for whatever you spend with the intention of gaining Allah's
Pleasure
even if it were a mouthful of food you put into your wives mouth." I

said, "O Allah's Apostle! Am I to be left behind (in Mecca) after
my
companions have gone?" He said, "If you should be left behind, you
will be upgraded and elevated for every deed you will do with a
desire
to achieve Allah's Pleasure. I hope that you will live long so that

some people will benefit by you while others will be harmed. O
Allah!
Please fulfill the migration of my companions and do not make them
turn back on their heels. But (we feel sorry for) the unlucky Sad
bin
Khaulah." Allah's Apostle lamented his death in Mecca.

Narrated Anas:

When 'Abdur-Rahman bin Auf came to Medina and the Prophet
established
the bond of brotherhood between him and Sad bin Ar-Rabi-al-Ansari,
Saud suggested that 'Abdur-Rahman should accept half of his
property
and family. 'Abdur Rahman said, "May Allah bless you in your family

and property; guide me to the market." So 'Abdur-Rahman (while
doing
business in the market) made some profit of some condensed dry
yoghurt
and butter. After a few days the Prophet saw him wearing clothes
stained with yellow perfume. The Prophet asked, "What is this, O
'Abdur-Rahman?" He said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have married an
Ansar'
woman." The Prophet asked, "What have you given her as Mahr?" He
(i.e.
'Abdur-Rahman) said, "A piece of gold, about the weight of a date
stone." Then the Prophet said, Give a banquet, even though of a
sheep."

Narrated Anas:

When the news of the arrival of the Prophet at Medina reached
'Abdullah bin Salam, he went to him to ask him about certain
things,
He said, "I am going to ask you about three things which only a
Prophet can answer: What is the first sign of The Hour? What is the

first food which the people of Paradise will eat? Why does a child
attract the similarity to his father or to his mother?" The Prophet

replied, "Gabriel has just now informed me of that." Ibn Salam
said,
"He (i.e. Gabriel) is the enemy of the Jews amongst the angels. The

Prophet said, "As for the first sign of The Hour, it will be a fire

that will collect the people from the East to the West. As for the
first meal which the people of Paradise will eat, it will be the
caudate (extra) lobe of the fish-liver. As for the child, if the
man's
discharge proceeds the woman's discharge, the child attracts the
similarity to the man, and if the woman's discharge proceeds the
man's, then the child attracts the similarity to the woman."

On this, 'Abdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that None has the
right
to be worshipped except Allah, and that you are the Apostle of
Allah."
and added, "O Allah's Apostle! Jews invent such lies as make one
astonished, so please ask them about me before they know about my
conversion to I slam . " The Jews came, and the Prophet said, "What

kind of man is 'Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They replied, "The
best
of us and the son of the best of us and the most superior among us,

and the son of the most superior among us. "The Prophet said, "What

would you think if 'Abdullah bin Salam should embrace Islam?" They
said, "May Allah protect him from that." The Prophet repeated his
question and they gave the same answer. Then 'Abdullah came out to
them and said, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped
except Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah!" On this,
the
Jews said, "He is the most wicked among us and the son of the most
wicked among us." So they degraded him. On this, he (i.e. 'Abdullah

bin Salam) said, "It is this that I was afraid of, O Allah's
Apostle.

Narrated Abu Al-Minhal 'AbdurRahman bin Mut'im:

A partner of mine sold some Dirhams on credit in the market. I
said,
"Glorified be Allah! Is this legal?" He replied, "Glorified be
Allah!
By Allah, when I sold them in the market, nobody objected to it."
Then
I asked Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (about it) he said, "We used to make
such a
transaction when the Prophet came to Medina. So he said, 'There is
no
harm in it if it is done from hand to hand, but it is not allowed
on
credit.' Go to Zaid bin Al- Arqam and ask him about it for he was
the
greatest trader of all of us." So I asked Zaid bin Al-Arqam., and
he
said the same (as Al-Bara) did."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Had only ten Jews (amongst their chiefs) believe

me, all the Jews would definitely have believed me."

Narrated Abu Musa:

When the Prophet arrived at Medina, he noticed that some people
among
the Jews used to respect Ashura' (i.e. 10th of Muharram) and fast
on
it. The Prophet then said, "We have more right to observe fast on
this
day." and ordered that fasting should be observed on it.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

When the Prophet arrived at Medina he found that the Jews observed
fast on the day of 'Ashura'. They were asked the reason for the
fast.
They replied, "This is the day when Allah caused Moses and the
children of Israel to have victory over Pharaoh, so we fast on this

day as a sign of glorifying it." Allah's Apostle said, "We are
closer
to Moses than you." Then he ordered that fasting on this day should
be
observed.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abbas:

The Prophet used to keep his hair falling loose while the pagans
used
to part their hair, and the People of the Scriptures used to keep
their hair falling loose, and the Prophet liked to follow the
People
of the Scriptures in matters about which he had not been instructed

differently, but later on the Prophet started parting his hair.

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

They, the people of the Scriptures, divided this Scripture into
parts,
believing in some portions of it and disbelieving the others. (See
15:91)

Narrated Salman Al-Farisi:

That he was sold (as a slave) by one master to another for more
than
ten times (i.e between 13 and 19).

Narrated Salman:

I am from Ram-Hurmuz (i.e. a Persian town).

Narrated Salman:

The interval between Jesus and Muhammad was six hundred years.

Narrated Abu Ishaq:

Once, while I was sitting beside Zaid bin Al-Arqam, he was asked,
"How
many Ghazwat did the Prophet undertake?" Zaid replied, "Nineteen."
They said, "In how many Ghazwat did you join him?" He replied,
"Seventeen." I asked, "Which of these was the first?" He replied,
"Al-'Ashira or Al-'Ashiru."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:

From Sad bin Mu'adh: Sad bin Mu'adh was an intimate friend of
Umaiya
bin Khalaf and whenever Umaiya passed through Medina, he used to
stay
with Sad, and whenever Sad went to Mecca, he used to stay with
Umaiya.
When Allah's Apostle arrived at Medina, Sa'd went to perform 'Umra
and
stayed at Umaiya's home in Mecca. He said to Umaiya, "Tell me of a
time when (the Mosque) is empty so that I may be able to perform
Tawaf
around the Ka'ba." So Umaiya went with him about midday. Abu Jahl
met
them and said, "O Abu Safwan! Who is this man accompanying you?" He

said, "He is Sad." Abu Jahl addressed Sad saying, "I see you
wandering
about safely in Mecca inspite of the fact that you have given
shelter
to the people who have changed their religion (i.e. became Muslims)

and have claimed that you will help them and support them. By
Allah,
if you were not in the company of Abu Safwan, you would not be able
to
go your family safely." Sad, raising his voice, said to him, "By
Allah, if you should stop me from doing this (i.e. performing
Tawaf) I
would certainly prevent you from something which is more valuable
for
you, that is, your passage through Medina." On this, Umaiya said to

him, "O Sad do not raise your voice before Abu-l-Hakam, the chief
of
the people of the Valley (of Mecca)." Sad said, "O Umaiya, stop
that!
By Allah, I have heard Allah's Apostle predicting that the Muslim
will
kill you." Umaiya asked, "In Mecca?" Sad said, "I do not know."
Umaiya
was greatly scared by that news.

When Umaiya returned to his family, he said to his wife, "O Um
Safwan!
Don't you know what Sad told me? "She said, "What has he told you?"
He
replied, "He claims that Muhammad has informed them (i.e.
companions
that they will kill me. I asked him, 'In Mecca?' He replied, 'I do
not
know." Then Umaiya added, "By Allah, I will never go out of Mecca."

But when the day of (the Ghazwa of) Badr came, Abu Jahl called the
people to war, saying, "Go and protect your caravan." But Umaiya
disliked to go out (of Mecca). Abu Jahl came to him and said, "O
Abu
Safwan! If the people see you staying behind though you are the
chief
of the people of the Valley, then they will remain behind with
you."
Abu Jahl kept on urging him to go until he (i.e. Umaiya) said, "As
you
have forced me to change my mind, by Allah, I will buy the best
camel
in Mecca. Then Umaiya said (to his wife). "O Um Safwan, prepare
what I
need (for the journey)." She said to him, "O Abu Safwan! Have you
forgotten what your Yathribi brother told you?" He said, "No, but I
do
not want to go with them but for a short distance." So when Umaiya
went out, he used to tie his camel wherever he camped. He kept on
doing that till Allah caused him to be killed at Badr.

Narrated Kab bin Malik:

I never failed to join Allah's Apostle in any of his Ghazawat
except
in the Ghazwa of Tabuk. However, I did not take part in the Ghazwa
of
Badr, but none who failed to take part in it, was blamed, for
Allah's
Apostle had gone out to meet the caravans of (Quraish, but Allah
caused them (i.e. Muslims) to meet their enemy unexpectedly (with
no
previous intention) .

Narrated Ibn Masud:

I witnessed Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad in a scene which would have been

dearer to me than anything had I been the hero of that scene. He
(i.e.
Al-Miqdad) came to the Prophet while the Prophet was urging the
Muslims to fight with the pagans. Al-Miqdad said, "We will not say
as
the People of Moses said: Go you and your Lord and fight you two.
(5.27). But we shall fight on your right and on your left and in
front
of you and behind you." I saw the face of the Prophet getting
bright
with happiness, for that saying delighted him.

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

On the day of the battle of Badr, the Prophet said, "O Allah! I
appeal
to You (to fulfill) Your Covenant and Promise. O Allah! If Your
Will
is that none should worship You (then give victory to the pagans)."

Then Abu Bakr took hold of him by the hand and said, "This is
sufficient for you." The Prophet came out saying, "Their multitude
will be put to flight and they will show their backs." (54.45)

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

The believers who failed to join the Ghazwa of Badr and those who
took
part in it are not equal (in reward).

Narrated Al-Bara:

I and Ibn 'Umar were considered too young to take part in the
battle
of Badr.

Narrated Al-Bara:

I and Ibn 'Umar were considered too young (to take part) in the
battle
of Badr, and the number of the Emigrant warriors were over sixty
(men)
and the Ansar were over 249.

Narrated Al-Bara:

The companions of (the Prophet) Muhammad who took part in Badr,
told
me that their number was that of Saul's (i.e. Talut's) companions
who
crossed the river (of Jordan) with him and they were over
three-hundred-and-ten men. By Allah, none crossed the river with
him
but a believer. (See Qur'an 2:249)

Narrated Al-Bara:

We, the Companions of Muhammad used to say that the number of the
warriors of Badr was the same as the number of Saul's companions
who
crossed the river (of Jordan) with him, and none crossed the river
with him but a believer, and the were over three-hundred-and-ten
men.

Narrated Al-Bara:

As below (Hadith 295).

three-hundred-and-ten, as many as the Companions of Saul who
crossed
the river with him; and none crossed the river with him but a
believer.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:

The Prophet faced the Ka'ba and invoked evil on some people of
Quraish, on Shaiba bin Rabi'a, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Al-Walid bin 'Utba

and Abu Jahl bin Hisham. I bear witness, by Allah, that I saw them
all
dead, putrefied by the sun as that day was a very hot day.

Narrated Abdullah: That he came across Abu Jahl while he was on the

point of death on the day of Badr. Abu Jahl said, "You should not
be
proud that you have killed me nor I am ashamed of being killed by
my
own folk."

Narrated Anas:

As below (Hadith 300).

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "Who will go and see what has happened to Abu
Jahl?"
Ibn Mas'ud went and found that the two sons of 'Afra had struck him

fatally (and he was in his last breaths). 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud
said,
"Are you Abu Jahl?" And took him by the beard. Abu Jahl said, "Can
there be a man superior to one you have killed or one whom his own
folk have killed?"

Narrated Anas:

On the day of Badr, the Prophet said, "Who will go and see what has

happened to Abu Jahl?" Ibn Mas'ud went and found that the two sons
of
'Afra had struck him fatally. 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud got hold of his
beard and said, "'Are you Abu Jahl?" He replied, "Can there be a
man
more superior to one whom his own folk have killed (or you have
killed)?"

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

(as above Hadith 301).

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf:

(the grandfather of Salih bin Ibrahim) the story of Badr, namely,
the
narration regarding the sons of 'Afra'.

Narrated Abu Mijlaz:

From Qais bin Ubad: 'Ali bin Abi Talib said, "I shall be the first
man
to kneel down before (Allah), the Beneficent to receive His
judgment
on the day of Resurrection (in my favor)." Qais bin Ubad also said,

"The following Verse was revealed in their connection:--

"These two opponents believers and disbelievers) Dispute with each
other About their Lord." (22.19) Qais said that they were those
who
fought on the day of Badr, namely, Hamza, 'Ali, 'Ubaida or Abu
'Ubaida
bin Al-Harith, Shaiba bin Rabi'a, 'Utba and Al-Wahd bin Utba.

Narrated Abu Dhar:

The following Holy Verse:--

"These two opponents (believers & disbelievers) dispute with
each
other about their Lord," (22.19) was revealed concerning six
men
from Quraish, namely, 'Ali, Hamza, 'Ubaida bin Al-Harith; Shaiba
bin
Rabi'a, 'Utba bin Rabi'a and Al-Walid bin 'Utba.

Narrated 'Ali:

The following Holy Verse:-- "These two opponents (believers and
disbelievers) dispute with each other about their Lord." (22.19)
was
revealed concerning us.

Narrated Qais bin Ubad:

I heard Abu Dhar swearing that these Holy Verses were revealed in
connection with those six persons on the day of Badr.

Narrated Qais:

I heard Abu Dhar swearing that the following Holy verse:-- "These
two
opponents (believers and disbelievers) disputing with each other
about
their Lord," (22.19) was revealed concerning those men who fought
on
the day of Badr, namely, Hamza, 'Ali, Ubaida bin Al-Harith, Utba
and
Shaiba----the two sons of Rabi'a-- and Al-Walid bin 'Utba.

Narrated Abu Ishaq:

A man asked Al-Bara' and I was listening, "Did 'Ali take part in
(the
battle of) Badr?" Al-Bara' said, "(Yes). he even met (his enemies)
in
a duel and was clad in two armors (one over the other),"

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf:

"I had an agreement with Umaiya bin Khalaf (that he would look
after
my relatives and property in Mecca, and I would look after his
relatives and property in Medina)." 'Abdur-Rahman then mentioned
the
killing of Umaiya and his son on the day of Badr, and Bilal said,
"Woe
to me if Umaiya remains safe (i.e. alive) . "

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet recited Surat-an-Najm and then prostrated himself, and
all
who were with him prostrated too. But an old man took a handful of
dust and touched his forehead with it saying, "This is sufficient
for
me." Later on I saw him killed as an infidel.

Narrated 'Urwa (the son of Az- Zubair): Az-Zubair had three scars
caused by the sword, one of which was over his shoulder and I used
to
insert my fingers in it. He received two of those wounds on the day
of
Badr and one on the day of Al-Yarmuk. When 'Abdullah bin Zubair was

killed, 'Abdul-Malik bin Marwan said to me, "O 'Urwa, do you
recognize
the sword of Az-Zubair?" I said, "Yes." He said, "What marks does
it
have?" I replied, "It has a dent in its sharp edge which was caused
in
it on the day of Badr." 'Abdul- Malik said, "You are right! (i.e.
their swords) have dents because of clashing with the regiments of
the
enemies Then 'Abdul-Malik returned that sword to me (i.e. Urwa).
(Hisham, 'Urwa's son said, "We estimated the price of the sword as
three-thousand (Dinars) and after that it was taken by one of us
(i.e.
the inheritors) and I wish I could have had it.")

Narrated Hisham:

That his father said, "The sword of Az-Zubair was decorated with
silver." Hisham added, "The sword of 'Urwa was (also) decorated
with
silver. "

Narrated 'Urwa:

On the day of (the battle) of Al-Yarmuk, the companions of Allah's
Apostle said to Az-Zubair, "Will you attack the enemy so that we
shall
attack them with you?" Az-Zubair replied, "If I attack them, you
people would not support me." They said, "No, we will support you."
So
Az-Zubair attacked them (i.e. Byzantine) and pierced through their
lines, and went beyond them and none of his companions was with
him.
Then he returned and the enemy got hold of the bridle of his
(horse)
and struck him two blows (with the sword) on his shoulder. Between
these two wounds there was a scar caused by a blow, he had received
on
the day of Badr (battle). When I was a child I used to play with
those
scars by putting my fingers in them. On that day (my brother)
"Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was also with him and he was ten years old.

Az-Zubair had carried him on a horse and let him to the care of
some
men.

Narrated Abu Talha:

On the day of Badr, the Prophet ordered that the corpses of twenty
four leaders of Quraish should be thrown into one of the dirty dry
wells of Badr. (It was a habit of the Prophet that whenever he
conquered some people, he used to stay at the battle-field for
three
nights. So, on the third day of the battle of Badr, he ordered that

his she-camel be saddled, then he set out, and his companions
followed
him saying among themselves." "Definitely he (i.e. the Prophet) is
proceeding for some great purpose." When he halted at the edge of
the
well, he addressed the corpses of the Quraish infidels by their
names
and their fathers' names, "O so-and-so, son of so-and-so and O
so-and-so, son of so-and-so! Would it have pleased you if you had
obeyed Allah and His Apostle? We have found true what our Lord
promised us. Have you too found true what your Lord promised you?
"'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! You are speaking to bodies that
have
no souls!" Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's
soul
is, you do not hear, what I say better than they do." (Qatada said,

"Allah brought them to life (again) to let them hear him, to
reprimand
them and slight them and take revenge over them and caused them to
feel remorseful and regretful.")

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

regarding the Statement of Allah:--"Those who have changed Allah's
Blessings for disbelief..." (14.28) The people meant here by Allah,

are the infidels of Quraish. ('Amr, a sub-narrator said, "Those are

(the infidels of) Quraish and Muhammad is Allah's Blessing.
Regarding
Allah's Statement:"..and have led their people Into the house of
destruction? (14.29) Ibn 'Abbas said, "It means the Fire they will

suffer from (after their death) on the day of Badr."

Narrated Hisham's father:

It was mentioned before 'Aisha that Ibn 'Umar attributed the
following
statement to the Prophet "The dead person is punished in the grave
because of the crying and lamentation Of his family." On that,
'Aisha
said, "But Allah's Apostle said, 'The dead person is punished for
his
crimes and sins while his family cry over him then." She added,
"And
this is similar to the statement of Allah's Apostle when he stood
by
the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of the pagans
killed at Badr, 'They hear what I say.' She added, "But he said now

they know very well what I used to tell them was the truth." 'Aisha

then recited: 'You cannot make the dead hear.' (30.52) and 'You
cannot make those who are in their Graves, hear you.' (35.22) that

is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire.

Narrated Ibn Umar:

The Prophet stood at the well of Badr (which contained the corpses
of
the pagans) and said, "Have you found true what your lord promised
you?" Then he further said, "They now hear what I say." This was
mentioned before 'Aisha and she said, "But the Prophet said, 'Now
they
know very well that what I used to tell them was the truth.' Then
she
recited (the Holy Verse):-- "You cannot make the dead hear...
...till
the end of Verse)." (30.52)

Narrated Anas:

Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was
a
young boy then. His mother came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's

Apostle! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in Paradise, I

shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is
not
so, then you shall see what I do?" He said, "May Allah be merciful
to
you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is only one
Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most
superior) Paradise of Al-Firdaus."

Narrated 'Ali:

Allah's Apostle sent me, Abu Marthad and Az-Zubair, and all of us
were
riding horses, and said, "Go till you reach Raudat-Khakh where
there
is a pagan woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta' a to
the
pagans of Mecca." So we found her riding her camel at the place
which
Allah's Apostle had mentioned. We said (to her),"(Give us) the
letter." She said, "I have no letter." Then we made her camel kneel

down and we searched her, but we found no letter. Then we said,
"Allah's Apostle had not told us a lie, certainly. Take out the
letter, otherwise we will strip you naked." When she saw that we
were
determined, she put her hand below her waist belt, for she had tied

her cloak round her waist, and she took out the letter, and we
brought
her to Allah's Apostle Then 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! (This
Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers! Let me
cut
off his neck!" The Prophet asked Hatib, "What made you do this?"
Hatib
said, "By Allah, I did not intend to give up my belief in Allah and

His Apostle but I wanted to have some influence among the (Mecca)
people so that through it, Allah might protect my family and
property.
There is none of your companions but has some of his relatives
there
through whom Allah protects his family and property." The Prophet
said, "He has spoken the truth; do no say to him but good." 'Umar
said, "He as betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the faithful
believers.
Let me cut off his neck!" The Prophet said, "Is he not one of the
Badr
warriors? May be Allah looked at the Badr warriors and said, 'Do
whatever you like, as I have granted Paradise to you, or said, 'I
have
forgiven you."' On this, tears came out of Umar's eyes, and he
said,
"Allah and His Apostle know better."

Narrated Usaid:

On the day of Badr, Allah's Apostle said to us, "When the enemy
comes
near to you, shoot at them but use your arrows sparingly (so that
your
arrows should not be wasted)."

Narrated Abu Usaid:

On the day of (the battle of) Badr, Allah's Apostle said to us,
"When
your enemy comes near to you (i.e. overcome you by sheer number),
shoot at them but use your arrows sparingly."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:

On the day of Uhud the Prophet appointed 'Abdullah bin Jubair as
chief
of the archers, and seventy among us were injured and martyred. On
the
day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet and his companions had
inflicted 140 casualties on the pagans, 70 were taken prisoners,
and
70 were killed. Abu Sufyan said, "This is a day of (revenge) for
the
day of Badr and the issue of war is undecided ."

Narrated Abu Musa:

That the Prophet said, "The good is what Allah gave us later on
(after
Uhud), and the reward of truthfulness is what Allah gave us after
the
day (of the battle) of Badr."

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf:

While I was fighting in the front file on the day (of the battle)
of
Badr, suddenly I looked behind and saw on my right and left two
young
boys and did not feel safe by standing between them. Then one of
them
asked me secretly so that his companion may not hear, "O Uncle!
Show
me Abu Jahl." I said, "O nephew! What will you do to him?" He said,
"I
have promised Allah that if I see him (i.e. Abu Jahl), I will
either
kill him or be killed before I kill him." Then the other said the
same
to me secretly so that his companion should not hear. I would not
have
been pleased to be in between two other men instead of them. Then I

pointed him (i.e. Abu Jahl) out to them. Both of them attacked him
like two hawks till they knocked him down. Those two boys were the
sons of 'Afra' (i.e. an Ansari woman).

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle sent out ten spies under the command of 'Asim bin
Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-father of 'Asim bin 'Umar Al-Khattab.
When
they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between 'Usfan and Mecca,
their
presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu
Lihyan.
So they sent about one hundred archers after them. The archers
traced
the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they found the traces of dates
which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers
said,
"These dates are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina)," and went on tracing the

Muslims' footsteps. When 'Asim and his companions became aware of
them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy encircled
them
and said, "Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise
and
covenant that we will not kill anyone of you." 'Asim bin Thabit
said,
"O people! As for myself, I will never get down to be under the
protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us."
So
the archers threw their arrows at them and martyred 'Asim. Three of

them came down and surrendered to them, accepting their promise and

covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another
man.
When the archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the
arrow bows and tied their captives with them. The third man said,
"This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go with

you for I follow the example of these." He meant the martyred
companions. The archers dragged him and struggled with him (till
they
martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dathina were taken away
by
them and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event
of
the Badr battle.

The sons of Al-Harit bin 'Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a

person who had killed (their father) Al-Hari bin 'Amr on the day
(of
the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by them till they
decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed from a
daughter of Al-Harith, a razor for shaving his public hair, and she

lent it to him. By chance, while she was inattentive, a little son
of
hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated

him on his thigh while the razor was in his hand. She was so much
terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and said, "Are you afraid
that
I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing." Later on (while
narrating the story) she said, "By Allah, I had never seen a better

captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating from a
bunch
of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and
(at
that time) there was no fruit in Mecca." She used to say," It was
food
Allah had provided Khubaib with."

When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him,
Khubaib requested them. "Allow me to offer a two-Rak'at prayer."
They
allowed him and he prayed two Rakat and then said, "By Allah! Had I

not been afraid that you would think I was worried, I would have
prayed more." Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, "O Allah!
Count
them and kill them one by one, and do not leave anyone of them"'
Then
he recited: "As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what
way I
receive my death for Allah's Sake, for this is for the Cause of
Allah.
If He wishes, He will bless the cut limbs of my body." Then Abu
Sarva,
'Ubqa bin Al-Harith went up to him and killed him. It was Khubaib
who
set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in
captivity (before he is executed). The Prophet told his companions
of
what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same day they were
martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of 'Asim bin Thabit's

death, sent some messengers to bring a part of his body so that his

death might be known for certain, for he had previously killed one
of
their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm of
wasps
to protect the dead body of 'Asim, and they shielded him from the
messengers who could not cut anything from his body.

Narrated Nafi:

Ibn 'Umar was once told that Said bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail, one
of
the Badr warriors, had fallen ill on a Friday. Ibn 'Umar rode to
him
late in the forenoon. The time of the Friday prayer approached and
Ibn
'Umar did not take part in the Friday prayer.

Narrated Subaia bint Al-Harith: That she was married to Sad bin
Khaula
who was from the tribe of Bani 'Amr bin Luai, and was one of those
who
fought the Badr battle. He died while she wa pregnant during
Hajjat-ul-Wada.' Soon after his death, she gave birth to a child.
When
she completed the term of deliver (i.e. became clean), she prepared

herself for suitors. Abu As-Sanabil bin Bu'kak, a man from the
tribe
of Bani Abd-ud-Dal called on her and said to her, "What! I see you
dressed up for the people to ask you in marriage. Do you want to
marry
By Allah, you are not allowed to marry unless four months and ten
days
have elapsed (after your husband's death)." Subai'a in her
narration
said, "When he (i.e. Abu As-Sanabil) said this to me. I put on my
dress in the evening and went to Allah's Apostle and asked him
about
this problem. He gave the verdict that I was free to marry as I had

already given birth to my child and ordered me to marry if I
wished."

Narrated Rifaa:

(who was one of the Badr warriors) Gabriel came to the Prophet and
said, "How do you look upon the warriors of Badr among yourselves?"

The Prophet said, "As the best of the Muslims." or said a similar
statement. On that, Gabriel said, "And so are the Angels who
participated in the Badr (battle)."

Narrated Mu'adh bin Rifa'a bin Rafi:

Rifa'a was one of the warriors of Badr while (his father) Rafi' was

one of the people of Al-'Aqaba (i.e. those who gave the pledge of
allegiance at Al-'Aqaba). Rafi' used to say to his son, "I would
not
have been happier if I had taken part in the Badr battle instead of

taking part in the 'Aqaba pledge."

Narrated Mu'adh:

The one who asked (the Prophet) was Gabriel.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said on the day (of the battle) of Badr, "This is
Gabriel
holding the head of his horse and equipped with arms for the
battle.

Narrated Anas:

Abu Zaid died and did not leave any offspring, and he was one of
the
Badr warriors.

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Abu Said bin Malik Al-Khudri returned from a journey and his family

offered him some meat of sacrifices offered at 'Id ul Adha. On that
he
said, "I will not eat it before asking (whether it is allowed)." He

went to his maternal brother, Qatada bin N i 'man, who was one of
the
Badr warriors, and asked him about it. Qatada said, "After your
departure, an order was issued by the Prophet cancelling the
prohibition of eating sacrifices after three days."

Narrated 'Urwa:

Az-Zubair said, "I met Ubaida bin Said bin Al-As on the day (of the

battle) of Badr and he was covered with armor; so much that only
his
eyes were visible. He was surnamed Abu Dhat-al-Karish. He said
(proudly), 'I am Abu-al-Karish.' I attacked him with the spear and
pierced his eye and he died. I put my foot over his body to pull
(that
spear) out, but even then I had to use a great force to take it out
as
its both ends were bent." 'Urwa said, "Later on Allah's Apostle
asked
Az-Zubair for the spear and he gave it to him. When Allah's Apostle

died, Az-Zubair took it back. After that Abu Bakr demanded it and
he
gave it to him, and when Abu Bakr died, Az-Zubair took it back.
'Umar
then demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When 'Umar died,
Az-Zubair took it back, and then 'Uthman demanded it from him and
he
gave it to him. When 'Uthman was martyred, the spear remained with
Ali's offspring. Then 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair demanded it back, and
it
remained with him till he was martyred.

Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:

(who was one of the Badr warriors) Allah's Apostle said, "Give me
the
pledge of allegiance."

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the wife of the Prophet) Abu Hudhaifa, one of those who fought the

battle of Badr, with Allah's Apostle adopted Salim as his son and
married his niece Hind bint Al-Wahd bin 'Utba to him' and Salim was
a
freed slave of an Ansari woman. Allah's Apostle also adopted Zaid
as
his son. In the Pre-lslamic period of ignorance the custom was
that,
if one adopted a son, the people would call him by the name of the
adopted-father whom he would inherit as well, till Allah revealed:

"Call them (adopted sons) By (the names of) their fathers." (33.5)

Narrated Ar-Rubai bint Muauwidh:

The Prophet came to me after consuming his marriage with me and sat

down on my bed as you (the sub-narrator) are sitting now, and small

girls were beating the tambourine and singing in lamentation of my
father who had been killed on the day of the battle of Badr. Then
one
of the girls said, "There is a Prophet amongst us who knows what
will
happen tomorrow." The Prophet said (to her)," Do not say this, but
go
on saying what you have spoken before."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

As below (Hadith 338).

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Abu Talha, a companion of Allah's Apostle and one of those who
fought
at Badr together with Allah's Apostle told me that Allah's Apostle
said. "Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a
picture" He meant the images of creatures that have souls.

Narrated 'Ali:

as below (Hadith 340).

Narrated 'Ali:

I had a she-camel which I got in my share from the booty of the
battle
of Badr, and the Prophet had given me another she camel from the
Khumus which Allah had bestowed on him that day. And when I
intended
to celebrate my marriage to Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet, I
made an arrangement with a goldsmith from Bani Qainuqa 'that he
should
go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass used by
gold-smiths)
which I intended to sell to gold-smiths in order to spend its price
on
the marriage banquet. While I was collecting ropes and sacks of
pack
saddles for my two she-camels which were kneeling down beside an
Ansari's dwelling and after collecting what I needed, I suddenly
found that the humps of the two she-camels had been cut off and
their
flanks had been cut open and portions of their livers had been
taken
out. On seeing that, I could not help weeping. I asked, "Who has
done
that?" They (i.e. the people) said, "Hamza bin 'Abdul Muttalib has
done it. He is present in this house with some Ansari drinkers, a
girl
singer, and his friends. The singer said in her song, "O Hamza, get
at
the fat she-camels!" On hearing this, Hamza rushed to his sword and

cut of the camels' humps and cut their flanks open and took out
portions from their livers." Then I came to the Prophet, with whom
Zaid bin Haritha was present. The Prophet noticed my state and
asked,
"What is the matter?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle, I have never
experienced such a day as today! Hamza attacked my two she-camels,
cut
off their humps and cut their flanks open, and he is still present
in
a house along some drinkers." The Prophet asked for his cloak, put
it
on, and proceeded, followed by Zaid bin Haritha and myself, till he

reached the house where Hamza was. He asked the permission to
enter,
and he was permitted. The Prophet started blaming Hamza for what he

had done. Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red. He looked at the
Prophet then raised his eyes to look at his knees and raised his
eves
more to look at his face and then said, "You are not but my
father's
slaves." When the Prophet understood that Hamza was drunk, he
retreated, walking backwards went out and we left with him.

her husband Khunais bin Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the

and
had died in Medina, I met 'Uthman bin 'Affan and suggested that he
should marry Hafsa saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint
'Umar
to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.' I waited for a
few
days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not
marry at present.' Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if you wish, I
will
marry you, Hafsa bint 'Umar.' He kept quiet and did not give me any

reply and I became more angry with him than I was with Uthman .
Some
days later, Allah's Apostle demanded her hand in marriage and I
married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met me and said, "Perhaps you

were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I
gave
no reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented
me
from accepting your offer except that I learnt that Allah's Apostle

had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose
the
secret of Allah's Apostle , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her
up
I would surely have accepted her."

the Jizya taxation from its people, for Allah's Apostle had made a
peace treaty with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al-'Ala' bin
Al-Hadrami as their ruler. So, Abu 'Ubaida arrived with the money
from
Bahrain. When the Ansar heard of the arrival of Abu 'Ubaida (on the

next day) they offered the morning prayer with the Prophet and when

the morning prayer had finished, they presented themselves before
him.
On seeing the Ansar, Allah's Apostle smiled and said, "I think you
have heard that Abu 'Ubaida has brought something?" They replied,
"Indeed, it is so, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Be happy, and hope

for what will please you. By Allah, I am not afraid that you will
be
poor, but I fear that worldly wealth will be bestowed upon you as
it
was bestowed upon those who lived before you. So you will compete
amongst yourselves for it, as they competed for it and it will
destroy
you as it did them."

of the infidels and we fought, and he struck one of my hands with
his
sword and cut it off and then took refuge in a tree and said, "I
surrender to Allah (i.e. I have become a Muslim),' could I kill
him, O
Allah's Apostle, after he had said this?" Allah's Apostle said,
"You
should not kill him." Al-Miqdad said, "O Allah's Apostle! But he
had
cut off one of my two hands, and then he had uttered those words?"
Allah's Apostle replied, "You should not kill him, for if you kill
him, he would be in your position where you had been before killing

him, and you would be in his position where he had been before
uttering those words."

Narrated Anas:

Allah's Apostle said on the day of Badr, "Who will go and see what
has
happened to Abu Jahl?" Ibn Mas'ud went and saw him struck by the

sons of 'Afra and was on the point of death . Ibn Mas'ud said, "Are

you Abu Jahl?" Abu Jahl replied, "Can there be a man more superior

have killed.)?" Abu Jahl added, "Would that I had been killed by
other
than a mere farmer. "

Al-Mutim
bin Adi alive and interceded with me for these filthy people, I
would
definitely forgive them for his sake."

Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab: When the first civil strife (in
Islam)
took place because of the murder of 'Uthman, it left none of the
Badr
warriors alive. When the second civil strife, that is the battle of

Al-Harra, took place, it left none of the Hudaibiya treaty
companions
alive. Then the third civil strife took place and it did not
subside
till it had exhausted all the strength of the people.

Narrated Yunus bin Yazid:

I heard Az-Zuhri saying, "I heard 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair. Said bin
Al-Musaiyab, 'Alqama bin Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah each
narrating part of the narrative concerning 'Aisha the wife of the
Prophet. 'Aisha said: When I and Um Mistah were returning, Um
Mistah
stumbled by treading on the end of her robe, and on that she said,
'May Mistah be ruined.' I said, 'You have said a bad thing, you
curse
a man who took part in the battle of Badr!." Az-Zuhri then narrated

the narration of the Lie (forged against 'Aisha).

Narrated Ibn Shihab:

These were the battles of Allah's Apostle (which he fought), and
while
mentioning (the Badr battle) he said, "While the corpses of the
pagans
were being thrown into the well, Allah's Apostle said (to them),
'Have
you found what your Lord promised true?" 'Abdullah said, "Some of
the
Prophet's companions said, "O Allah's Apostle! You are addressing
dead
people.' Allah's Apostle replied, 'You do not hear what I am
saying,
better than they.' The total number of Muslim fighters from Quraish

who fought in the battle of Badr and were given their share of the
booty, were 81 men." Az-Zubair said, "When their shares were
distributed, their number was 101 men. But Allah knows it better."

Narrated Az-Zubair:

On the day of Badr, (Quraishi) Emigrants received 100 shares of the

war booty."

Narrated Ibn Umar:

Bani An-Nadir and Bani Quraiza fought (against the Prophet
violating
their peace treaty), so the Prophet exiled Bani An-Nadir and
allowed
Bani Quraiza to remain at their places (in Medina) taking nothing
from
them till they fought against the Prophet again) . He then killed
their men and distributed their women, children and property among
the
Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet and he granted them
safety, and they embraced Islam. He exiled all the Jews from
Medina.
They were the Jews of Bani Qainuqa', the tribe of 'Abdullah bin
Salam
and the Jews of Bani Haritha and all the other Jews of Medina.

Narrated Said bin Jubair:

I mentioned to Ibn 'Abbas Surat-Hashr. He said, "Call it
Surat-an-Nadir."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Some people used to allot some date palm trees to the Prophet as
gift
till he conquered Banu Quraiza and Bani An-Nadir, where upon he
started returning their date palms to them.

Narrated Ibn Umar:

Allah's Apostle had the date-palm trees of Bani Al-Nadir burnt and
cut
down at a place called Al-Buwaira. Allah then revealed: "What you
cut
down of the date-palm trees (of the enemy) Or you left them
standing
on their stems. It was by Allah's Permission." (59.5)

Narrated Ibn Umar:

The Prophet burnt the date-palm trees of Bani An-Nadir. Hassan bin
Thabit said the following poetic Verses about this event:-- "the
terrible burning of Al-Buwaira Has been received indifferently By
the
nobles of Bani Luai (The masters and nobles of Quraish)." Abu
Sufyan
bin Al-Harith (i.e. the Prophet's cousin who was still a
disbeliever
then) replied to Hassan, saying in poetic verses:-- "May Allah
bless
that burning And set all its (i.e. Medina's) Parts on burning fire.

You will see who is far from it (i.e. Al-Buwaira) And which of our
lands will be Harmed by it (i.e. the burning of Al-Buwaira)."

Narrated Malik bin Aus Al-Hadathan An-Nasri:

That once 'Umar bin Al-Khattab called him and while he was sitting
with him, his gatekeeper, Yarfa came and said, "Will you admit
'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman bin Auf, AzZubair and Sad (bin Abi Waqqas)
who
are waiting for your permission?" 'Umar said, "Yes, let them come
in."
After a while, Yarfa- came again and said, "Will you admit 'Ali and

'Abbas who are asking your permission?" 'Umar said, "Yes." So, when

the two entered, 'Abbas said, "O chief of the believers! Judge
between
me and this (i.e. 'Ali). "Both of them had a dispute regarding the
property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His Apostle as
Fai
(i.e. booty gained without fighting), 'Ali and 'Abbas started
reproaching each other. The (present) people (i.e. 'Uthman and his
companions) said, "O chief of the believers! Give your verdict in
their case and relieve each from) the other." 'Umar said, "Wait I
beseech you, by Allah, by Whose Permission both the heaven and the
earth stand fast! Do you know that Allah's Apostle said, 'We
(Prophets) our properties are not to be inherited, and whatever we
leave, is to be spent in charity,' and he said it about himself?"
They
(i.e. 'Uthman and his company) said, "He did say it. "'Umar then
turned towards 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "I beseech you both, by
Allah! Do you know that Allah's Apostle said this?" They replied in

the affirmative. He said, "Now I am talking to you about this
matter.
Allah the Glorified favored His Apostle with something of this Fai
(i.e. booty won without fighting) which He did not give to anybody
else. Allah said:--

"And what Allah gave to His Apostle ("Fai"" Booty) from them--For
which you made no expedition With either Calvary or camelry. But
Allah
gives power to His Apostles Over whomsoever He will And Allah is
able
to do all things." (59.6)

So this property was especially granted to Allah's Apostle . But by

Allah, the Prophet neither took it all for himself only, nor
deprived
you of it, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it amongst
you
till only this remained out of it. And from this Allah's Apostle
used
to spend the yearly maintenance for his family, and whatever used
to
remain, he used to spend it where Allah's Property is spent (i.e.
in
charity), Allah's Apostle kept on acting like that during all his
life, Then he died, and Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of
Allah's
Apostle.' So he (i.e. Abu Bakr) took charge of this property and
disposed of it in the same manner as Allah's Apostle used to do,
and
all of you (at that time) knew all about it." Then 'Umar turned
towards 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "You both remember that Abu Bakr
disposed of it in the way you have described and Allah knows that,
in
that matter, he was sincere, pious, rightly guided and the follower
of
the right. Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die and I said, 'I am the
successor of Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr.' So I kept this property
in
my possession for the first two years of my rule (i.e. Caliphate
and I
used to dispose of it in the same wa as Allah's Apostle and Abu
Bakr
used to do; and Allah knows that I have been sincere, pious,
rightly
guided an the follower of the right (in this matte Later on both of

you (i.e. 'Ali and Abbas) came to me, and the claim of you both was

one and the same, O 'Abbas! You also came to me. So I told you both

that Allah's Apostle said, "Our property is not inherited, but
whatever we leave is to be given in charity.' Then when I thought
that
I should better hand over this property to you both or the
condition
that you will promise and pledge before Allah that you will dispose
it
off in the same way as Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr did and as I
have
done since the beginning of my caliphate or else you should not
speak
to me (about it).' So, both of you said to me, 'Hand it over to us
on
this condition.' And on this condition I handed it over to you. Do
you
want me now to give a decision other than that (decision)? By
Allah,
with Whose Permission both the sky and the earth stand fast, I will

never give any decision other than that (decision) till the Last
Hour
is established. But if you are unable to manage it (i.e. that
property), then return it to me, and I will manage on your behalf."

The sub-narrator said, "I told 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair of this Hadith
and
he said, 'Malik bin Aus has told the truth" I heard 'Aisha, the
wife
of the Prophet saying, 'The wives of the Prophet sent 'Uthman to
Abu
Bakr demanding from him their 1/8 of the Fai which Allah had
granted
to his Apostle. But I used to oppose them and say to them: Will you

not fear Allah? Don't you know that the Prophet used to say: Our
property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in
charity? The Prophet mentioned that regarding himself. He added:
'The
family of Muhammad can take their sustenance from this property. So

the wives of the Prophet stopped demanding it when I told them of
that.' So, this property (of Sadaqa) was in the hands of Ali who
withheld it from 'Abbas and overpowered him. Then it came in the
hands
of Hasan bin 'Ali, then in the hands of Husain bin 'Ali, and then
in
the hands of Ali bin Husain and Hasan bin Hasan, and each of the
last
two used to manage it in turn, then it came in the hands of Zaid
bin
Hasan, and it was truly the Sadaqa of Allah's Apostle ."

Narrated 'Aisha:

Fatima and Al'Abbas came to Abu Bakr, claiming their inheritance of

the Prophet's land of Fadak and his share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr
said,
"I heard the Prophet saying, 'Our property is not inherited, and
whatever we leave is to be given in charity. But the family of
Muhammad can take their sustenance from this property.' By Allah, I

would love to do good to the Kith and kin of Allah's Apostle rather

than to my own Kith and kin."

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf
who
has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got
up
saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?" The
Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to
say
a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You may
say
it." Then Muhammad bin Maslama went to Kab and said, "That man
(i.e.
Muhammad demands Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) from us, and he has troubled
us,
and I have come to borrow something from you." On that, Kab said,
"By
Allah, you will get tired of him!" Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Now
as
we have followed him, we do not want to leave him unless and until
we
see how his end is going to be. Now we want you to lend us a camel
load or two of food." (Some difference between narrators about a
camel
load or two.) Kab said, "Yes, (I will lend you), but you should
mortgage something to me." Muhammad bin Mas-lama and his companion
said, "What do you want?" Ka'b replied, "Mortgage your women to
me."
They said, "How can we mortgage our women to you and you are the
most
handsome of the 'Arabs?" Ka'b said, "Then mortgage your sons to
me."
They said, "How can we mortgage our sons to you? Later they would
be
abused by the people's saying that so-and-so has been mortgaged for
a
camel load of food. That would cause us great disgrace, but we will

mortgage our arms to you." Muhammad bin Maslama and his companion
promised Kab that Muhammad would return to him. He came to Kab at
night along with Kab's foster brother, Abu Na'ila. Kab invited them
to
come into his fort, and then he went down to them. His wife asked
him,
"Where are you going at this time?" Kab replied, "None but Muhammad

bin Maslama and my (foster) brother Abu Na'ila have come." His wife

said, "I hear a voice as if dropping blood is from him, Ka'b said.
"They are none but my brother Muhammad bin Maslama and my foster
brother Abu Naila. A generous man should respond to a call at night

even if invited to be killed." Muhammad bin Maslama went with two
men.
(Some narrators mention the men as 'Abu bin Jabr. Al Harith bin
Aus
and Abbad bin Bishr). So Muhammad bin Maslama went in together with

two men, and sail to them, "When Ka'b comes, I will touch his hair
and
smell it, and when you see that I have got hold of his head, strip
him. I will let you smell his head." Kab bin Al-Ashraf came down to

them wrapped in his clothes, and diffusing perfume. Muhammad bin
Maslama said. " have never smelt a better scent than this. Ka'b
replied. "I have got the best 'Arab women who know how to use the
high
class of perfume." Muhammad bin Maslama requested Ka'b "Will you
allow
me to smell your head?" Ka'b said, "Yes." Muhammad smelt it and
made
his companions smell it as well. Then he requested Ka'b again,
"Will
you let me (smell your head)?" Ka'b said, "Yes." When Muhammad got a

strong hold of him, he said (to his companions), "Get at him!" So
they
killed him and went to the Prophet and informed him. (Abu Rafi) was

killed after Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf."

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:

Allah's Apostle sent some men from the Ansar to ((kill) Abu Rafi,
the
Jew, and appointed 'Abdullah bin Atik as their leader. Abu Rafi
used
to hurt Allah's Apostle and help his enemies against him. He lived
in
his castle in the land of Hijaz. When those men approached (the
castle) after the sun had set and the people had brought back their

livestock to their homes. Abdullah (bin Atik) said to his
companions,
"Sit down at your places. I am going, and I will try to play a
trick
on the gate-keeper so that I may enter (the castle)." So 'Abdullah
proceeded towards the castle, and when he approached the gate, he
covered himself with his clothes, pretending to answer the call of
nature. The people had gone in, and the gate-keeper (considered
'Abdullah as one of the castle's servants) addressing him saying,
"O
Allah's Servant! Enter if you wish, for I want to close the gate."
'Abdullah added in his story, "So I went in (the castle) and hid
myself. When the people got inside, the gate-keeper closed the gate

and hung the keys on a fixed wooden peg. I got up and took the keys

and opened the gate. Some people were staying late at night with
Abu
Rafi for a pleasant night chat in a room of his. When his
companions
of nightly entertainment went away, I ascended to him, and whenever
I
opened a door, I closed it from inside. I said to myself, 'Should
these people discover my presence, they will not be able to catch
me
till I have killed him.' So I reached him and found him sleeping in
a
dark house amidst his family, I could not recognize his location in

the house. So I shouted, 'O Abu Rafi!' Abu Rafi said, 'Who is it?' I

proceeded towards the source of the voice and hit him with the
sword,
and because of my perplexity, I could not kill him. He cried
loudly,
and I came out of the house and waited for a while, and then went
to
him again and said, 'What is this voice, O Abu Rafi?' He said, 'Woe
to
your mother! A man in my house has hit me with a sword! I again hit

him severely but I did not kill him. Then I drove the point of the
sword into his belly (and pressed it through) till it touched his
back, and I realized that I have killed him. I then opened the
doors
one by one till I reached the staircase, and thinking that I had
reached the ground, I stepped out and fell down and got my leg
broken
in a moonlit night. I tied my leg with a turban and proceeded on
till
I sat at the gate, and said, 'I will not go out tonight till I know

that I have killed him.' So, when (early in the morning) the cock
crowed, the announcer of the casualty stood on the wall saying, 'I
announce the death of Abu Rafi, the merchant of Hijaz. Thereupon I
went to my companions and said, 'Let us save ourselves, for Allah
has
killed Abu Rafi,' So I (along with my companions proceeded and)
went
to the Prophet and described the whole story to him. "He said,
'Stretch out your (broken) leg. I stretched it out and he rubbed it

and it became All right as if I had never had any ailment
whatsoever."

Narrated Al-Bara:

Allah's Apostle sent 'Abdullah bin 'Atik and 'Abdullah bin 'Utba
with
a group of men to Abu Rafi (to kill him). They proceeded till they
approached his castle, whereupon 'Abdullah bin Atik said to them,
"Wait (here), and in the meantime I will go and see." 'Abdullah
said
later on, "I played a trick in order to enter the castle. By
chance,
they lost a donkey of theirs and came out carrying a flaming light
to
search for it. I was afraid that they would recognize me, so I
covered
my head and legs and pretended to answer the call to nature. The
gatekeeper called, 'Whoever wants to come in, should come in before
I
close the gate.' So I went in and hid myself in a stall of a donkey

near the gate of the castle. They took their supper with Abu Rafi
and
had a chat till late at night. Then they went back to their homes.
When the voices vanished and I no longer detected any movement, I
came
out. I had seen where the gate-keeper had kept the key of the
castle
in a hole in the wall. I took it and unlocked the gate of the
castle,
saying to myself, 'If these people should notice me, I will run
away
easily.' Then I locked all the doors of their houses from outside
while they were inside, and ascended to Abu Rafi by a staircase. I
saw
the house in complete darkness with its light off, and I could not
know where the man was. So I called, 'O Abu Rafi!' He replied, 'Who
is
it?' I proceeded towards the voice and hit him. He cried loudly but
my
blow was futile. Then I came to him, pretending to help him, saying

with a different tone of my voice, ' What is wrong with you, O Abu
Rafi?' He said, 'Are you not surprised? Woe on your mother! A man
has
come to me and hit me with a sword!' So again I aimed at him and
hit
him, but the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi cried
loudly and his wife got up. I came again and changed my voice as if
I
were a helper, and found Abu Rafi lying straight on his back, so I
drove the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the
sound
of a bone break. Then I came out, filled with astonishment and went
to
the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it and got my leg
dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my companions limping. I said

(to them), 'Go and tell Allah's Apostle of this good news, but I
will
not leave (this place) till I hear the news of his (i.e. Abu
Rafi's)
death.' When dawn broke, an announcer of death got over the wall
and
announced, 'I convey to you the news of Abu Rafi's death.' I got up

and proceeded without feeling any pain till I caught up with my
companions before they reached the Prophet to whom I conveyed the
good
news."

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

On the day of Uhud. the Prophet said, "This is Gabriel holding the
head of his horse and equipped with war material.'

Narrated Uqba bin Amir:

Allah's Apostle offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud
eight years after (their death), as if bidding farewell to the
living
and the dead, then he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am your
predecessor before you, and I am a witness on you, and your
promised
place to meet me will be Al-Haud (i.e. the Tank) (on the Day of
Resurrection), and I am (now) looking at it from this place of
mine. I
am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah, but I am
afraid that worldly life will tempt you and cause you to compete
with
each other for it." That was the last look which I cast on Allah's
Apostle.

Narrated Al-Bara:

We faced the pagans on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the
Prophet placed a batch of archers (at a special place) and
appointed
'Abdullah (bin Jubair) as their commander and said, "Do not leave
this
place; and if you should see us conquering the enemy, do not leave
this place, and if you should see them conquering us, do not (come
to)
help us," So, when we faced the enemy, they took to their heel till
I
saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting up their
clothes
from their legs, revealing their leg-bangles. The Muslims started
saying, "The booty, the booty!" 'Abdullah bin Jubair said, "The
Prophet had taken a firm promise from me not to leave this place."
But
his companions refused (to stay). So when they refused (to stay
there), (Allah) confused them so that they could not know where to
go,
and they suffered seventy casualties. Abu Sufyan ascended a high
place
and said, "Is Muhammad present amongst the people?" The Prophet
said,
"Do not answer him." Abu Sufyan said, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa
present among the people?" The Prophet said, "Do not answer him."
Abd
Sufyan said, "Is the son of Al-Khattab amongst the people?" He then

added, "All these people have been killed, for, were they alive,
they
would have replied." On that, 'Umar could not help saying, "You are
a
liar, O enemy of Allah! Allah has kept what will make you unhappy."

Abu Safyan said, "Superior may be Hubal!" On that the Prophet said
(to
his companions), "Reply to him." They asked, "What may we say?" He
said, "Say: Allah is More Elevated and More Majestic!" Abu Sufyan
said, "We have (the idol) Al-'Uzza, whereas you have no 'Uzza!" The

Prophet said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They said, "What
may
we say?" The Prophet said, "Say: Allah is our Helper and you have
no
helper." Abu Sufyan said, "(This) day compensates for our loss at
Badr
and (in) the battle (the victory) is always undecided and shared in

turns by the belligerents. You will see some of your dead men
mutilated, but neither did I urge this action, nor am I sorry for
it."
Narrated Jabir: Some people took wine in the morning of the day of
Uhud and were then killed as martyrs.

Narrated Sad bin Ibrahim:

A meal was brought to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf while he was fasting.
He
said, "Musab bin 'Umar was martyred, and he was better than I, yet
he
was shrouded in a Burda (i.e. a sheet) so that, if his head was
covered, his feet became naked, and if his feet were covered, his
head
became naked." 'Abdur-Rahman added, "Hamza was martyred and he was
better than 1. Then worldly wealth was bestowed upon us and we were

given thereof too much. We are afraid that the reward of our deeds
have been given to us in this life." 'Abdur-Rahman then started
weeping so much that he left the food.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

On the day of the battle of Uhud, a man came to the Prophet and
said,
"Can you tell me where I will be if I should get martyred?" The
Prophet replied, "In Paradise." The man threw away some dates he
was
carrying in his hand, and fought till he was martyred .

Narrated Khabbab bin Al-Art:

We migrated in the company of Allah's Apostle, seeking Allah's
Pleasure. So our reward became due and sure with Allah. Some of us
have been dead without enjoying anything of their rewards (here),
and
one of them was Mus'ab bin 'Umar who was martyred on the day of the

battle of Uhud, and did not leave anything except a Namira (i.e. a
sheet in which he was shrouded). If we covered his head with it,
his
feet became naked, and if we covered his feet with it, his head
became
naked. So the Prophet said to us, "Cover his head with it and put
some
Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet or throw Idhkhir over
his
feet." But some amongst us have got the fruits of their labor
ripened,
and they are collecting them.

Narrated Anas: His uncle (Anas bin An-Nadr) was absent from the
battle
of Badr and he said, "I was absent from the first battle of the
Prophet (i.e. Badr battle), and if Allah should let me participate
in
(a battle) with the Prophet, Allah will see how strongly I will
fight." So he encountered the day of Uhud battle. The Muslims fled
and
he said, "O Allah ! I appeal to You to excuse me for what these
people
(i.e. the Muslims) have done, and I am clear from what the pagans
have
done." Then he went forward with his sword and met Sad bin Mu'adh
(fleeing), and asked him, "Where are you going, O Sad? I detect a
smell of Paradise before Uhud." Then he proceeded on and was
martyred.
No-body was able to recognize him till his sister recognized him by
a
mole on his body or by the tips of his fingers. He had over 80
wounds
caused by stabbing, striking or shooting with arrows.

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:

When we wrote the Holy Quran, I missed one of the Verses of
Surat-al-Ahzab which I used to hear Allah's Apostle reciting. Then
we
searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari.
The
Verse was:--

'Among the Believers are men Who have been true to Their Covenant
with
Allah, Of them, some have fulfilled Their obligations to Allah
(i.e.
they have been Killed in Allah's Cause), And some of them are
(still)
waiting" (33.23) So we wrote this in its place in the Quran.

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:

When the Prophet set out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of those
who
had gone out with him, returned. The companions of the Prophet were

divided into two groups. One group said, "We will fight them (i.e.
the
enemy)," and the other group said, "We will not fight them." So
there
came the Divine Revelation:-- '(O Muslims!) Then what is the matter

within you that you are divided. Into two parties about the
hypocrites? Allah has cast them back (to disbelief) Because of what

they have earned.' (4.88) On that, the Prophet said, "That is
Taiba
(i.e. the city of Medina) which clears one from one's sins as the
fire
expels the impurities of silver."

Narrated Jabir:

This Verse: "When two of your parties almost Decided to fall
away..."
was revealed in our connection, i.e. Bani Salama and Bani Haritha
and
I would not have liked that, if it was not revealed, for Allah
said:--
But Allah was their Protector.....(3.122)

Narrated Jabir:

"Allah's Apostle said to me, "Have you got married O Jabir?" I
replied, "Yes." He asked "What, a virgin or a matron?" I replied,
"Not
a virgin but a matron." He said, "Why did you not marry a young
girl
who would have fondled with you?" I replied, "O Allah's Apostle! My

father was martyred on the day of Uhud and left nine (orphan)
daughters who are my nine sisters; so I disliked to have another
young
girl of their age, but (I sought) an (elderly) woman who could comb

their hair and look after them." The Prophet said, "You have done
the
right thing."

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:

That his father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud and
was
in debt and left six (orphan) daughters. Jabir, added, "When the
season of plucking the dates came, I went to Allah's Apostle and
said,
"You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, and he
was
heavily in debt, and I would like that the creditors should see
you."
The Prophet said, "Go and pile every kind of dates apart." I did so

and called him (i.e. the Prophet ). When the creditors saw him,
they
started claiming their debts from me then in such a harsh manner
(as
they had never done before). So when he saw their attitude, he went

round the biggest heap of dates thrice, and then sat over it and
said,
'O Jabir), call your companions (i.e. the creditors).' Then he kept
on
measuring (and giving) to the creditors (their due) till Allah paid

all the debt of my father. I would have been satisfied to retain
nothing of those dates for my sisters after Allah had paid the
debts
of my father. But Allah saved all the heaps (of dates), so that
when I
looked at the heap where the Prophet had been sitting, it seemed as
if
a single date had not been taken away thereof."

Narrated Sad bin Abi Waqqas:

I saw Allah's Apostle on the day of the battle of Uhud accompanied
by
two men fighting on his behalf. They were dressed in white and were

fighting as bravely as possible. I had never seen them before, nor
did
I see them later on.

Narrated Sad bin Abi Waqqas:

The Prophet took out a quiver (of arrows) for me on the day of Uhud

and said, "Throw (arrows); let my father and mother be sacrificed
for
you."

Narrated Sad:

Allah's Apostle mentioned both his father and mother for me on the
day
of the battle of Uhud.

Narrated Ibn Al Musaiyab:

Sad bin Abi Waqqas said, "Allah's Apostle mentioned both his father

and mother for me on the day of the battle of Uhud." He meant when
the
Prophet said (to Sad) while the latter was fighting. "Let my father

and mother be sacrificed for you!"

Narrated 'Ali: I have never heard the Prophet mentioning both his
father and mother for anybody other than Sad.

Narrated 'Ali: I have never heard the Prophet mentioning his father

and mother for anybody other than Sad bin Malik. I heard him saying
on
the day of Uhud, "O Sad throw (arrows)! Let my father and mother be

sacrificed for you !"

Narrated Mu'tamir's father:

'Uthman said that on the day of the battle of Uhud, none remained
with
the Prophet but Talha and Sad.

Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid:

I have been in the company of 'AbdurRahman bin 'Auf, Talha bin
'Ubaidullah, Al-Miqdad and Sad, and I heard none of them narrating
anything from the Prophet excepting the fact that I heard Talha
narrating about the day of Uhud (battle) .

Narrated Qais:

I saw Talha's paralyzed hand with which he had protected the
Prophet
on the day of Uhud.

Narrated Anas:

When it was the day of Uhud, the people left the Prophet while Abu
Talha was in front of the Prophet shielding him with his leather
shield. Abu Talha was a skillful archer who used to shoot
violently.
He broke two or three arrow bows on that day. If a man carrying a
quiver full of arrows passed by, the Prophet would say (to him),
put
(scatter) its contents for Abu Talha." The Prophet would raise his
head to look at the enemy, whereupon Abu Talha would say, "Let my
father and mother be sacrificed for you ! Do not raise your head,
lest
an arrow of the enemy should hit you. (Let) my neck (be struck)
rather
than your neck." I saw 'Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, and Um
Sulaim
rolling up their dresses so that I saw their leg-bangles while they

were carrying water skins on their backs and emptying them in the
mouths of the (wounded) people. They would return to refill them
and
again empty them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. The sword
fell
from Abu Talha's hand twice or thrice (on that day).

Narrated 'Aisha:

When it was the day of Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then Satan,
Allah's Curse be upon him, cried loudly, "O Allah's Worshippers,
beware of what is behind!" On that, the front files of the (Muslim)

forces turned their backs and started fighting with the back files.

Hudhaifa looked, and on seeing his father Al-Yaman, he shouted, "O
Allah's Worshippers, my father, my father!" But by Allah, they did
not
stop till they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you."
(The sub-narrator, 'Urwa, said, "By Allah, Hudhaifa continued
asking
Allah's Forgiveness for the killers of his father till he departed
to
Allah (i.e. died).")

Narrated 'Uthman bin Mauhab:

A man came to perform the Hajj to (Allah's) House. Seeing some
people
sitting, he said, "Who are these sitting people?" Somebody said,
"They
are the people of Quraish." He said, "Who is the old man?" They
said,
"Ibn 'Umar." He went to him and said, "I want to ask you about
something; will you tell me about it? I ask you with the respect
due
to the sanctity of this (Sacred) House, do you know that 'Uthman
bin
'Affan fled on the day of Uhud?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." He said,
"Do
you know that he (i.e. 'Uthman) was absent from the Badr (battle)
and
did not join it?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." He said, "Do you know that
he
failed to be present at the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance (i.e.
Pledge
of allegiance at Hudaibiya) and did not witness it?" Ibn 'Umar
replied, "Yes," He then said, "Allahu-Akbar!" Ibn 'Umar said, "Come

along; I will inform you and explain to you what you have asked. As

for the flight (of 'Uthman) on the day of Uhud, I testify that
Allah
forgave him. As regards his absence from the Badr (battle), he was
married to the daughter of Allah's Apostle and she was ill, so the
Prophet said to him, 'You will have such reward as a man who has
fought the Badr battle will get, and will also have the same share
of
the booty.' As for his absence from the Ridwan Pledge of allegiance
if
there had been anybody more respected by the Meccans than 'Uthman
bin
'Affan, the Prophet would surely have sent that man instead of
'Uthman. So the Prophet sent him (i.e. 'Uthman to Mecca) and the
Ridwan Pledge of allegiance took place after 'Uthman had gone to
Mecca. The Prophet raised his right hand saying. 'This is the hand
of
'Uthman,' and clapped it over his other hand and said, "This is for

'Uthman.'" Ibn 'Umar then said (to the man), "Go now, after taking
this information."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:

The Prophet appointed Abdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the
cavalry archers on the day of the battle of Uhud. Then they
returned
defeated, and that what is referred to by Allah's Statement:-- "And

the Apostle (Muhammad) in your rear was calling you." (3.153)

Narrated Salim's father:

That he heard Allah's Apostle, when raising his head from bowing of

the first Rak'a of the morning prayer, saying, "O Allah! Curse
so-and-so and so-and-so" after he had said, "Allah hears him who
sends
his praises to Him. Our Lord, all the Praises are for you!" So
Allah
revealed:-- "Not for you (O Muhammad! )......(till the end of
Verse)
they are indeed wrong-doers." (3.128) Salim bin 'Abdullah said'
"Allah's Apostle used to invoke evil upon Safwan bin Umaiya, Suhail

bin 'Amr and Al-Harith bin Hisham. So the Verse was revealed:--
"Not
for you (O Muhammad!)......(till the end of Verse) For they are
indeed
wrong-doers." (3.128)

Narrated Tha'laba bin Abi Malik:

'Umar bin Al-Khattab distributed woolen clothes amongst some women
of
Medina, and a nice woolen garment remained. Some of those who were
sitting with him, said, "O chief of the believers! Give it to the
daughter of Allah's Apostle who is with you," and by that, they
meant
Um Kulthum, the daughter of 'Ali. Umar said, "Um Salit has got more

right than she." Um Saht was amongst those Ansari women who had
given
the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle . 'Umar added, "She
(i.e.
Um Salit) used to carry the filled water skins for us on the day of

the battle of Uhud."

Narrated Jafar bin 'Amr bin Umaiya:

I went out with 'Ubaidullah bin 'Adi Al-Khaiyar. When we reached
Hims
(i.e. a town in Syria), 'Ubaidullah bin 'Adi said (to me), "Would
you
like to see Wahshi so that we may ask him about the killing of
Hamza?"
I replied, "Yes." Wahshi used to live in Hims. We enquired about
him
and somebody said to us, "He is that in the shade of his palace, as
if
he were a full water skin." So we went up to him, and when we were
at
a short distance from him, we greeted him and he greeted us in
return.
'Ubaidullah was wearing his turban and Wahshi could not see except
his
eyes and feet. 'Ubaidullah said, "O Wahshi! Do you know me?" Wahshi

looked at him and then said, "No, by Allah! But I know that 'Adi
bin
Al-Khiyar married a woman called Um Qital, the daughter of Abu
Al-Is,
and she delivered a boy for him at Mecca, and I looked for a wet
nurse
for that child. (Once) I carried that child along with his mother
and
then I handed him over to her, and your feet resemble that child's
feet." Then 'Ubaidullah uncovered his face and said (to Wahshi),
"Will
you tell us (the story of) the killing of Hamza?" Wahshi replied
"Yes,
Hamza killed Tuaima bin 'Adi bin Al-Khaiyar at Badr (battle) so my
master, Jubair bin Mut'im said to me, 'If you kill Hamza in revenge

for my uncle, then you will be set free." When the people set out
(for the battle of Uhud) in the year of 'Ainain ..'Ainain is a
mountain near the mountain of Uhud, and between it and Uhud there
is a
valley.. I went out with the people for the battle. When the army
aligned for the fight, Siba' came out and said, 'Is there any
(Muslim)
to accept my challenge to a duel?' Hamza bin 'Abdul Muttalib came
out
and said, 'O Siba'. O Ibn Um Anmar, the one who circumcises other
ladies! Do you challenge Allah and His Apostle?' Then Hamza
attacked
and killed him, causing him to be non-extant like the bygone
yesterday. I hid myself under a rock, and when he (i.e. Hamza) came

near me, I threw my spear at him, driving it into his umbilicus so
that it came out through his buttocks, causing him to die. When all

the people returned to Mecca, I too returned with them. I stayed in

(Mecca) till Islam spread in it (i.e. Mecca). Then I left for Taif,

and when the people (of Taif) sent their messengers to Allah's
Apostle, I was told that the Prophet did not harm the messengers;
So I
too went out with them till I reached Allah's Apostle. When he saw
me,
he said, 'Are you Wahshi?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Was it you who
killed Hamza?' I replied, 'What happened is what you have been told

of.' He said, 'Can you hide your face from me?' So I went out when
Allah's Apostle died, and Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab appeared (claiming
to
be a prophet). I said, 'I will go out to Musailamah so that I may
kill
him, and make amends for killing Hamza. So I went out with the
people
(to fight Musailamah and his followers) and then famous events took

place concerning that battle. Suddenly I saw a man (i.e.
Musailamah)
standing near a gap in a wall. He looked like an ash-colored camel
and
his hair was dishevelled. So I threw my spear at him, driving it
into
his chest in between his breasts till it passed out through his
shoulders, and then an Ansari man attacked him and struck him on
the
head with a sword. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, 'A slave girl on the
roof
of a house said: Alas! The chief of the believers (i.e. Musailamah)

has been killed by a black slave."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle (pointing to his broken canine tooth) said,
"Allah's
Wrath has become severe on the people who harmed His Prophet.
Allah's
Wrath has become severe on the man who is killed by the Apostle of
Allah in Allah's Cause."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas

Allah's Wrath became severe on him whom the Prophet had killed in
Allah's Cause. Allah's Wrath became severe on the people who caused

the face of Allah's Prophet to bleed.

Narrated Abu Hazim:

That he heard Sahl bin Sad being asked about the wounds of Allah's
Apostle saying, "By Allah, I know who washed the wounds of Allah's
Apostle and who poured water (for washing them), and with what he
was
treated." Sahl added, "Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle used
to
wash the wounds, and 'Ali bin Abi Talib used to pour water from a
shield. When Fatima saw that the water aggravated the bleeding, she

took a piece of a mat, burnt it, and inserted its ashes into the
wound
so that the blood was congealed (and bleeding stopped). His canine
tooth got broken on that day, and face was wounded, and his helmet
was
broken on his head."

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Allah's Wrath gets severe on a person killed by a prophet, and
Allah's
Wrath became severe on him who had caused the face of Allah's
Apostle
to bleed

Narrated 'Aisha:

Regarding the Holy Verse: "Those who responded (To the call) of
Allah
And the Apostle (Muhammad), After being wounded, For those of them
Who
did good deeds And refrained from wrong, there is a great reward."
(3.172)

She said to 'Urwa, "O my nephew! Your father, Az-Zubair and Abu
Bakr
were amongst them (i.e. those who responded to the call of Allah
and
the Apostle on the day (of the battle of Uhud). When Allah's
Apostle,
suffered what he suffered on the day of Uhud and the pagans left,
the
Prophet was afraid that they might return. So he said, 'Who will go
on
their (i.e. pagans') track?' He then selected seventy men from
amongst
them (for this purpose)." (The sub-narrator added, "Abu Bakr and
Az-Zubair were amongst them.")

Narrated Qatada:

We do not know of any tribe amongst the 'Arab tribes who lost more
martyrs than Al-Ansar, and they will have superiority on the Day of

Resurrection. Anas bin Malik told us that seventy from the Ansar
were
martyred on the day of Uhud, and seventy on the day (of the battle
of)
Bir Ma'una, and seventy on the day of Al-Yamama. Anas added, "The
battle of Bir Ma'una took place during the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle
and the battle of Al-Yamama, during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, and
it
was the day when Musailamah Al-Kadhdhab was killed."

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah

Allah's Apostle used to shroud two martyrs of Uhud in one sheet and

then say, "Which of them knew Quran more?" When one of the two was
pointed out, he would put him first in the grave. Then he said, "I
will be a witness for them on the Day of Resurrection." He ordered
them to be buried with their blood (on their bodies). Neither was
the
funeral prayer offered for them, nor were they washed. Jabir added,

"When my father was martyred, I started weeping and uncovering his
face. The companions of the Prophet stopped me from doing so but
the
Prophet did not stop me. Then the Prophet said, '(O Jabir.) don't
weep
over him, for the angels kept on covering him with their wings till

his body was carried away (for burial)."
