Sahih Bukhari

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمُوسَی بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ بْنِ زَبْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بُسْرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَائِ يَقُولُ کَانَتْ بَيْنَ أَبِي بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرَ مُحَاوَرَةٌ فَأَغْضَبَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ عُمَرَ فَانْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ عُمَرُ مُغْضَبًا فَاتَّبَعَهُ أَبُو بَکْرٍ يَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ حَتَّی أَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَائِ وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَّا صَاحِبُکُمْ هَذَا فَقَدْ غَامَرَ قَالَ وَنَدِمَ عُمَرُ عَلَی مَا کَانَ مِنْهُ فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّی سَلَّمَ وَجَلَسَ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَصَّ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْخَبَرَ قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَائِ وَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَعَلَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَأَنَا کُنْتُ أَظْلَمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِکُونَ لِي صَاحِبِي هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِکُونَ لِي صَاحِبِي إِنِّي قُلْتُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْکُمْ جَمِيعًا فَقُلْتُمْ کَذَبْتَ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ صَدَقْتَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ غَامَرَ سَبَقَ بِالْخَيْرِ

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: 'Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifa came and stayed with his nephew Al-Hurr bin Qais who was one of those whom `Umar used to keep near him, as the Qurra' (learned men knowing Qur'an by heart) were the people of `Umar's meetings and his advisors whether they were old or young. 'Uyaina said to his nephew, "O son of my brother! You have an approach to this chief, so get for me the permission to see him." Al-Hurr said, "I will get the permission for you to see him." So Al-Hurr asked the permission for 'Uyaina and `Umar admitted him. When 'Uyaina entered upon him, he said, "Beware! O the son of Al-Khattab! By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with justice." Thereupon `Umar became so furious that he intended to harm him, but Al-Hurr said, "O chief of the Believers! Allah said to His Prophet: "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; and leave (don't punish) the foolish." (7.199) and this (i.e. 'Uyaina) is one of the foolish." By Allah, `Umar did not overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him; he observed (the orders of) Allah's Book strictly.

عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ← الزُّهْرِيِّ، ← شُعَيْبٌ ← أبو اليمان

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِيلَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ نَغْفِرْ لَکُمْ خَطَايَاکُمْ فَبَدَّلُوا فَدَخَلُوا يَزْحَفُونَ عَلَی أَسْتَاهِهِمْ وَقَالُوا حَبَّةٌ فِي شَعَرَةٍ

Narrated `Abdullah bin AzZubair: (The Verse) "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right..." was revealed by Allah except in connection with the character of the people. `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair said: Allah ordered His Prophet to forgive the people their misbehavior (towards him).

عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَأْمُرْ ← أَبِيهِ ← هِشَامٍ ← وَكِيعٌ، ← يَحْيَى

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَدِمَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَی ابْنِ أَخِيهِ الْحُرِّ بْنِ قَيْسٍ وَکَانَ مِنْ النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ يُدْنِيهِمْ عُمَرُ وَکَانَ الْقُرَّائُ أَصْحَابَ مَجَالِسِ عُمَرَ وَمُشَاوَرَتِهِ کُهُولًا کَانُوا أَوْ شُبَّانًا فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ لِابْنِ أَخِيهِ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي هَلْ لَکَ وَجْهٌ عِنْدَ هَذَا الْأَمِيرِ فَاسْتَأْذِنْ لِي عَلَيْهِ قَالَ سَأَسْتَأْذِنُ لَکَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ الْحُرُّ لِعُيَيْنَةَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ هِيْ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا تُعْطِينَا الْجَزْلَ وَلَا تَحْکُمُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْعَدْلِ فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ حَتَّی هَمَّ أَنْ يُوقِعَ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحُرُّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَی قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُذْ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنْ الْجَاهِلِينَ وَإِنَّ هَذَا مِنْ الْجَاهِلِينَ وَاللَّهِ مَا جَاوَزَهَا عُمَرُ حِينَ تَلَاهَا عَلَيْهِ وَکَانَ وَقَّافًا عِنْدَ کِتَابِ اللَّهِ

Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: I asked Ibn `Abbas regarding Surat-al-Anfal. He said, "It was revealed in connection with the Battle of Badr."

عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ← أَبِيهِ ← هِشَامٍ ← أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ← عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ،

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ خُذْ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ قَالَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا فِي أَخْلَاقِ النَّاسِ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الْعَفْوَ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ النَّاسِ أَوْ کَمَا قَالَ

سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، ← أَبُو بِشْرٍ، ← هُشَيْمٌ، ← سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ

وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الْعَفْوَ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ النَّاسِ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Regarding the Verse: "Verily! The worst of beasts in the Sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb---- those who understand not." (8.22) (The people referred to here) were some persons from the tribe of Bani `Abd-Addar.

ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ← مُّجَاھِدٍ ← ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ← وَرْقَاءَ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ،

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا سُورَةُ الْأَنْفَالِ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي بَدْرٍ الشَّوْکَةُ الْحَدُّ مُرْدَفِينَ فَوْجًا بَعْدَ فَوْجٍ رَدِفَنِي وَأَرْدَفَنِي جَائَ بَعْدِي ذُوقُوا بَاشِرُوا وَجَرِّبُوا وَلَيْسَ هَذَا مِنْ ذَوْقِ الْفَمِ فَيَرْکُمَهُ يَجْمَعَهُ شَرِّدْ فَرِّقْ وَإِنْ جَنَحُوا طَلَبُوا السِّلْمُ وَالسَّلْمُ وَالسَّلَامُ وَاحِدٌ يُثْخِنَ يَغْلِبَ وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ مُکَائً إِدْخَالُ أَصَابِعِهِمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَصْدِيَةً الصَّفِيرُ لِيُثْبِتُوکَ لِيَحْبِسُوکَ

Narrated Abu Sa`id bin Al-Mu'alla: While I was praying, Allah's Messenger passed me and called me, but I did not go to him until I had finished the prayer. Then I went to him, and he said, "What prevented you from coming to me? Didn't Allah say:-- "O you who believe! Answer the call of Allah (by obeying Him) and His Apostle when He calls you?" He then said, "I will inform you of the greatest Sura in the Qur'an before I leave (the mosque)." When Allah's Messenger got ready to leave (the mosque), I reminded him. He said, "It is: 'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.' (i.e. Surat-al-Fatiha) As-sab'a Al-Mathani (the seven repeatedly recited Verses).

أَبِي سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى، ← حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ← خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ← شُعْبَةُ ← رَوْحٌ، ← إِسْحَاقُ

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَائُ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الصُّمُّ الْبُکْمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ قَالَ هُمْ نَفَرٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Abu Jahl said, "O Allah! If this (Qur'an) is indeed the Truth from You, then rain down on us a shower of stones from the sky or bring on us a painful torment." So Allah revealed:-- "But Allah would not punish them while you were amongst them, nor He will punish them while they seek (Allah's) forgiveness..." (8.33) And why Allah should not punish them while they turn away (men) from Al- Masjid-al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque of Mecca)..." (8.33-34)

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Abu Jahl said, "O Allah! If this (Qur'an) is indeed the Truth from You), then rain down on us a shower of stones from the sky or bring on us a painful punishment." So there was revealed:-- 'But Allah would not punish them while you (Muhammad) were amongst them, nor will He punish them while they seek (Allah's) Forgiveness. And why Allah should not punish them while they stop (men) from Al-Masjid-al-Haram ..' (8.33-34)

Narrated Ibn `Umar: That a man came to him (while two groups of Muslims were fighting) and said, "O Abu `Abdur Rahman! Don't you hear what Allah has mentioned in His Book: 'And if two groups of believers fight against each other...' (49.9) So what prevents you from fighting as Allah has mentioned in His Book?"' Ibn `Umar said, "O son of my brother! I would rather be blamed for not fighting because of this Verse than to be blamed because of another Verse where Allah says: 'And whoever kills a believer intentionally..." (4.93) Then that man said, "Allah says:-- 'And fight them until there is no more afflictions (worshipping other besides Allah) and the religion (i.e. worship) will be all for Allah (Alone)" (8.39) Ibn `Umar said, "We did this during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger when the number of Muslims was small, and a man was put to trial because of his religion, the pagans would either kill or chain him; but when the Muslims increased (and Islam spread), there was no persecution." When that man saw that Ibn `Umar did not agree to his proposal, he said, "What is your opinion regarding `Ali and `Uthman?" Ibn `Umar said, "What is my opinion regarding `Ali and `Uthman? As for `Uthman, Allah forgave him and you disliked to forgive him, and `Ali is the cousin and son-in-law of Allah's Messenger ." Then he pointed out with his hand and said, "And that is his daughter's (house) which you can see."

Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: Ibn `Umar came to us and a man said (to him), "What do you think about 'Qit-alal-Fitnah' (fighting caused by afflictions)." Ibn `Umar said (to him), "And do you understand what an affliction is? Muhammad used to fight against the pagans, and his fighting with them was an affliction, (and his fighting was) not like your fighting which is carried on for the sake of ruling."

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ عَنْ بَکْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ بُکَيْرٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَائَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا ذَکَرَ اللَّهُ فِي کِتَابِهِ وَإِنْ طَائِفَتَانِ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا إِلَی آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَمَا يَمْنَعُکَ أَنْ لَا تُقَاتِلَ کَمَا ذَکَرَ اللَّهُ فِي کِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي أَغْتَرُّ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ وَلَا أُقَاتِلُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَغْتَرَّ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ الَّتِي يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا إِلَی آخِرِهَا قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّی لَا تَکُونَ فِتْنَةٌ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ قَدْ فَعَلْنَا عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ کَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَلِيلًا فَکَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُفْتَنُ فِي دِينِهِ إِمَّا يَقْتُلُونَهُ وَإِمَّا يُوثِقُونَهُ حَتَّی کَثُرَ الْإِسْلَامُ فَلَمْ تَکُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَمَّا رَأَی أَنَّهُ لَا يُوَافِقُهُ فِيمَا يُرِيدُ قَالَ فَمَا قَوْلُکَ فِي عَلِيٍّ وَعُثْمَانَ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مَا قَوْلِي فِي عَلِيٍّ وَعُثْمَانَ أَمَّا عُثْمَانُ فَکَانَ اللَّهُ قَدْ عَفَا عَنْهُ فَکَرِهْتُمْ أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُ وَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَخَتَنُهُ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ وَهَذِهِ ابْنَتُهُ أَوْ بِنْتُهُ حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When the Verse:-- "If there are twenty steadfast amongst you, they will overcome two hundred." (8.65) was revealed, then it became obligatory for the Muslims that one (Muslim) should not flee from ten (non-Muslims). Sufyan (the sub-narrator) once said, "Twenty (Muslims) should not flee before two hundred (non Muslims)." Then there was revealed: 'But now Allah has lightened your (task)..' (8.66) So it became obligatory that one-hundred (Muslims) should not flee before two hundred (nonmuslims). (Once Sufyan said extra, "The Verse: 'Urge the believers to the fight. If there are twenty steadfast amongst you (Muslims) ..' was revealed.) Sufyan said, "Ibn Shabrama said, "I see that this order is applicable to the obligation of enjoining good and forbidding evil."

ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ← عَمْرٌو ← سُفْيَانَ، ← عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ،

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا بَيَانٌ أَنَّ وَبَرَةَ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا أَوْ إِلَيْنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ کَيْفَ تَرَی فِي قِتَالِ الْفِتْنَةِ فَقَالَ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الْفِتْنَةُ کَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقَاتِلُ الْمُشْرِکِينَ وَکَانَ الدُّخُولُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِتْنَةً وَلَيْسَ کَقِتَالِکُمْ عَلَی الْمُلْکِ

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When the Verse:--'If there are twenty steadfast amongst you (Muslims), they will overcome twohundred (non-Muslims).' was revealed, it became hard on the Muslims when it became compulsory that one Muslim ought not to flee (in war) before ten (non-Muslims). So (Allah) lightened the order by revealing: '(But) now Allah has lightened your (task) for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are of you one-hundred steadfast, they will overcome (two-hundred (non-Muslims).' (8.66) So when Allah reduced the number of enemies which Muslims should withstand, their patience and perseverance against the enemy decreased as much as their task was lightened for them.
