It was narrated from 'Umar that Jibreel said to the Prophet What is faith (eeman)? He said: "To believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day and the divine decree, both good and bad." Jibreel said to him: You have spoken the truth. He said: We were amazed that he asked him and then confirmed his answers as being correct. The Prophet said: "That was Jibreel, who came to teach you your religion."

Ibn 'Abbas narrated that 'Umar bin al-Khattab said; On the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) looked at his companions and they were three hundred and some, then he looked at the mushrikeen and saw that they were one thousand or more. The Prophet of Allah (PBUH) turned to face the qiblah, then he stretched forth his hands, wearing his upper and lower garment, and he said: "O Allah, where is Your promise to me? O Allah, accomplish for me what You have promised me! O Allah, if this small band of Muslims is destroyed. You will never be worshipped on earth.” He kept beseeching his Lord, calling out to Him, until his upper garment fell from his shoulders. Abu Bakr came to him, picked up his upper garment and put it on him. Then he embraced him from behind and said: O Prophet of Allah, this prayer of yours to your Lord will suffice, for He will accomplish for you what He has promised to you. Then Allah revealed the words: "(Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): 'I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession'" [al-Anfal 8:9], On that day when the armies met (in battle), Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, defeated the mushrikeen; seventy of their men were killed and seventy were taken captive. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) consulted Abu Bakr (RA), ' Ali and 'Umar (RA) (concerning the prisoners). Abu Bakr said: O Prophet of Allah, they are our cousins, kinsmen and brothers. I think that you should accept a ransom for them, which will strengthen us against the kuffar, and perhaps Allah will guide them to Islam and they will become a support to us. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "What do you think, O son of al-Khattab?" I said: No, by Allah. I do not think as Abu Bakr thinks. I think that you should hand So and so a relative of 'Umar's over to me so that I may strike his neck. You should hand 'Aqeel over to 'Ali so that he may strike his neck, and you should hand over So and so to Hamzah (his brother) so that he may strike his neck, so that Allah will know that we have no mercy in our hearts towards the mushrikeen ; these are their prominent figures and leaders. But the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) inclined towards the view of Abu Bakr, and he did not incline towards what I said, and accepted ransoms from them. The next day, I came to the Prophet (PBUH) and found him with Abu Bakr, and they were both weeping. I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me why you and your companion are weeping. If I find it is a cause for weeping, I will weep too, and if it is not, then I will make myself weep with you. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "I am weeping because of what your companions suggested about accepting a ransom for the prisoners. I have been shown your punishment as close as this tree" a tree that was close to the Prophet of Allah (PBUH). Then Allah revealed the words: “It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. Were it not a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took." [al-Anfal 8:67-68] - i.e., referring to the ransom. Then booty was permitted to them, and when the day of Uhud came the following year, they were punished for what they had done of taking the ransom on the day of Badr. Seventy of them were killed and the Companions of the Prophet deserted him; his front tooth was broken and the helmet on his head was broken, and blood flowed down his face, and Allah revealed the words: “When a single disaster smites you.although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say: 'From where does this come to us?' Say (to them), 'It is from yourselves (because of your evil deeds).' And Allah has power over all things” [AI 'Imran 3:165].

It was narrated from Abu Wa'il that a man who was a Christian and was known as as- Subayy bin Ma'bad became Muslim and wanted to go for jilutd. It was said to him: Start with Hajj. So he went to al-Ash'ari, who told him to enter ihram for Hajj and ' Umrah together. So he did that, and whilst he was reciting the Tatbiyah, Zaid bin Soohan and Salman bin Rabee'ah passed by him, and one of them said to the other: This one is more misguided than his family's camel. As-Subayy heard them and that upset him. When he arrived he went to 'Umar and told him about that. 'Umar said to him: You have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet (PBUH). He [the narrator] said: On another occasion I heard him say: You have been helped to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet.

It was narrated that Anas said: 'Umar said: My opinion coincided with that of my Lord in three matters and my Lord confirmed my opinion in three matters. I said: O Messenger of Allah, why don't you take Maqam Ibraheem as a place of prayer? Then Allah revealed the words: "And take you (people) the Maqam (place) of Ibraheem (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibraheem (Abraham) (AS)! stood while he was building the Ka'bah] as a place of prayer" [al-Baqarah 2:125], And I said: O Messenger of Allah, both righteous and immoral people enter upon you; why don't you tell the Mothers of the Believers to observe hijnb ? Then Allah revealed the verse of hijab. And I heard that the Prophet (PBUH) had rebuked some of his wives, so I sought permission to speak to the Mothers of the Believers, then I entered upon them and said to each one of them: By Allah, either you stop, or Allah will give His Messenger (wives) who are better than you. i went to one of his wives and she said: O 'Umar, don't you think that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is able to exhort his wives? Why are you exhorting them? Then Allah revealed the words: It may be if he divorced you (all) that his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you" [at-Tahreem 66:5]

It was narrated that ash-Sha'bi said: 'Umar passed by Talhah, and he narrated a similar report. He said: 'Umar passed by Talhah and saw him looking worried. He said: Perhaps you are upset because your cousin was appointed (as caliph)? - referring to Abu Bakr. He said; No, but by Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "I know a word which, if a man says it when he is dying, it will be light in the record of his deeds, or he will find comfort in it at the time of death”.'Umar said: i will tell you of it; it is the word that he wanted his paternal uncle to say, the testimony that there is no god but Allah. He said: It is as if a great burden has been lifted from me. He said: You are right. If he had known anything better that it, he would have instructed him to say it.

It was narrated from Humaid bin 'Abdur- Rahman al-Himyari that Ibn 'Abbas said in Basrah: I was the first one to come to 'Umar (RA) when he was stabbed. He said: Learn from me three things, for I fear that the people will not come to me (before I die). As for me, I did not pass any judgement regarding kalalah and I did not appoint any successor to be in charge of the people after me, and every slave of his ['Umar's] will be free. The people said to him: Appoint a successor. He said: Whatever I do, it was done by someone better than me. If I leave the people to decide their affairs, the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) did that, and if I appoint someone, one who is better than me did that, namely Abu Bakr Gete). I said to him: Receive the glad tidings of Paradise; you accompanied the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), your companionship with him was long; you were appointed in charge of the believers and you showed strength and fulfilled the trust. He said: As for your glad tidings to me of Paradise - 'Affan [another narrator] said: No by Allah besides Whom there is no god - if I had the entire world and all that is in it, I would give it as a ransom from the terror of what lies before me, even before knowing the outcome. As for what you say about me being in charge of the believers' affairs, by Allah I wish that I could get out of it without gaining or losing anything. As for what you said about me accompanying the Prophet of Allah (PBUH), that is true.

It was narrated from Subayy bin Ma'bad that he was a Taghlibi Christian, then he became Muslim and asked which deed is best? He was told: Jihad for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. He wanted to go for jihad, but he was asked: Have you done Hajj ? He said: No. It was said to him: Do Hajj and 'Umrah, then go for jihad. So he entered ihram for both of them together, then he met Zaid bin Soohan and Salman bin Rabee'ah who said: He is more misguided than his camel, or he is no more guided than his camel. He went to 'Umar (RA) and told him what they had said, and he said: You have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet (PBUH), or to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).

It was narrated that 'Abayah bin Rifa'ah said: 'Umar (RA) heard that when Sa'd built the palace, he said: Now there will be no more noise. 'Umar sent Muhammad bin Maslamah to him, and when he arrived he took out some kindling and lit a fire, and he bought some wood for a dirham. It was said to Sa'd: A man has done such and such. He said; That is Muhammad bin Maslamah. He went out to him and swore by Allah that he never said that. He said; We will convey from you what you have said and we will do as we were instructed. So he burned the door. Then he [Sa'd] offered some supplies (to the envoy) but he refused. He left at midday and went to 'Umar (RA), and he went and came back within nineteen days. He said: Were it not that I think well of you, I would have thought that you did not convey my message. He said: Yes I did convey it; he conveys his salam and apologises, and he swore by Allah that he did not say that. He said: Did he give you any provisions? He said: No. He said: What prevented you from supplying [sufficient] provisions to me yourself? He said: i did not want to instruct that you be given the cold whilst l had the hot [i.e., I could not have given you what you wanted of food and enjoyed plentiful food myself], when around me are the people of Madinah who are starving, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "No man should eat his fill when his neighbour is going without."

It was narrated from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah bin Mas'ood that Ibn 'Abbas told him that 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf went back to where he had halted. Ibn 'Abbas said: I used to recite to 'Abdur- Rahman bin 'Awf, and he found me waiting for him. That was in Mina during the last Hajj performed by 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA). 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf said: A man came to 'Umar bin al-Khattab and said: So and so is saying: If 'Umar (RA) dies, I will swear allegiance to So and so. 'Umar (RA) said: I will stand before the people today and warn them against these people who want to deprive them of their rights. 'Abdur-Rahman said: I said: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, do not do that, for the Hajj season brings together the riffraff and rabble among the people, and most of the people who gather around and listen to you will be of that type. If you stand before the people, I am afraid that you will say something that they will spread and not understand it properly or interpret it properly. Rather wait until you come to Madinah, for it is the land of Hijrah and the Sunnah, and you will meet the most knowledgeable and noble people there, and you can say what you want to say with confidence; they will understand what you say and will interpret it correctly. 'Umar (RA) said: If I reach Madinah safe and sound, I shall certainly talk to the people there in the first speech I deliver. When we came to Madinah at the end of Dhul-I lijjah, it was a Friday. I set out early. 'Umar did not care at what time he went out, because he did not pay attention to heat and cold and so on. I found Sa'eed bin Zaid at the right-hand corner of the minbar; he had got there before me. I sat down next to him, with my knee touching his knee, and it was not long before 'Umar (RA) came. When I saw him, I said: He will certainly speak today on this minbar and say something that no one ever heard before. Sa'eed bin Zaid objected to that and said: What do you think he will say that no one said before? 'Umar (RA) sat on the minbar , and when the mu'dhdhin fell silent, he stood up and praised and glorified Allah as He deserves, then he said: To proceed. O people, I am going to tell you something that it has been decreed I should say. I do not know, perhaps it may signal my death. So whoever understands it and remembers it, let him narrate it to others wherever his mount takes him; whoever does not understand it, it is not permissible for him to tell lies about me. Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, sent Muhammad (PBUH) with the truth and revealed the Book to him; among the things that were revealed to him was the verse of stoning [adulterers]. We read it and understood it; the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) stoned [adulterers] and we stoned [adulterers] after him. But I fear that with the passage of time, some people will say: We do not find the verse of stoning in the Book of Allah, thus they will go astray by forsaking an obligation that Allah revealed. Stoning is the due punishment in the Book of Allah for those who commit zina, both men and women, if they have been married and if proof is established, or there is a pregnancy or a confession. And we used to recite: Do not claim to be the offspring of anyone other than your fathers, as it is disbelief (or ingratitude) on your part to claim to be the offspring of anyone other than your fathers. Verily the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Do not praise me excessively as 'Eesa, the son of Maryam, was praised; rather I am the slave of Allah, so say: the slave of Allah and His Messenger." I have heard that some among you are saying: If 'Umar (RA) dies, I shall swear allegiance to So and so. No man should deceive himself by saying that the oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr was given suddenly and it was successful. There is no doubt that this is the case, but Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, saved the people from its bad consequences and there is no one among you today who has the qualities of Abu Bakr (RA). What happened to us when the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) died was that 'Ali, az-Zubair and those who were with them stayed behind in the house of Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and all the Ansar stayed behind and gathered in Saqeefat Banu Sa'idah, whilst the Muhajireen gathered around Abu Bakr (RA). I said to him: O Abu Bakr, let us go to our brothers, the Ansar. So we set out, looking for them, then we were met by two righteous men who told us what the people had done, and said: Where are you going, O Muhajireen ? I said: We are looking for these brothers of ours, the Ansar . They said: You should not go near them; do whatever you have already decided, O Muhajireen. I said: By Allah, we will go to them. So we carried on until we came to them in Saqeefat Banu Sa'idah, where we found them gathered and among ihem was a man wrapped up [in a garment] . I said: Who is this? They said: Sa'd bin 'Ubadah. I said: What is the matter with him? They said: He is sick. After we sat down, their spokesman stood up and praised and glorified Allah, may He glorified and exalted, as He deserves, then he said: To proceed. We are the supporters (Ansar) of Allah and the majority of the Muslim army. You, O Muhajireen, are a small group among us. Some of you came to us, wanting to deny who we are and prevent us from attaining a position of authority. When he fell silent, I wanted to present a speech that I had prepared and that I liked in front of Abu Bakr (RA). I used to avoid provoking him and he was more forbearing and more dignified than me. But Abu Bakr (RA) said: Wait a while. I did not like to make him angry, and he was more knowledgeable and more dignified than me, By Allah, he did not omit any word that I liked in the speech I had prepared but he said something like it or better, speaking spontaneously, until he finished speaking. Then he said: To proceed. Whatever you have mentioned about your achievements and virtues, is correct. The Arabs would not acknowledge the leadership of anyone except someone from this tribe of Quraish, for they are the best of the Arabs in lineage and location. I am pleased to suggest to you one of these two men, whichever of them you want. Then he took hold of my hand and the hand of Abu 'Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah, and I disliked nothing of what he had said apart from this, for by Allah, I would rather have my neck struck for no sin on my part than to become the leader of people among whom was Abu Bakr (RA), unless my own self suggested something at the time of death. One of the Ansar said: I am the post on which the camel with a skin disease scratches itself and I am like a high class palm tree [i.e., a noble]; fl suggest] a ruler from among us and a ruler from among you, O Quraish. - i [the narrator] said to Malik: What does am the post on which the camel with a skin disease scratches itself and I am like a high class palm tree' mean? He said: It is as if he is saying, I am the smart one who has the answer. - Then there was a great deal of clamour and raised voices, to such an extent that I feared there would be a conflict, so I said: Hold out your hand, O Abu Bakr. So he held out his hand and I swore allegiance to him, and the Muhajireen swore allegiance to him, then the Ansar swore allegiance to him. Thus we surrounded Sa'd bin 'Ubadah. One of them said: You have killed Sa'd. I said: May Allah kill Sa'd! And 'Umar (RA) said: By Allah, we never encountered any problem greater than tire swearing of allegiance to Abu Bakr (RA). We were afraid that if we left the people without having sworn allegiance to anyone, they might swear allegiance after we were gone, so we would either follow in their footsteps and swear allegiance to someone we were not pleased with, or we would disagree with them and that would cause trouble. If anyone swears allegiance to a leader without consulting the Muslims, there is no allegiance for him and no allegiance to the one who swore allegiance to him, lest both of them be killed. Malik said: Ibn Shihab told me, from 'Urwah bin az-Zubair, that the men whom they met were "Uwaim bin Sa'idah and Ma'n bin 'Adiyy. Ibn Shihab said: Sa'eed bin al-Musayyab told me that the one who said, I am the post on which the camel with a skin disease scratches itself and I am like a high class palm tree, was al-Hubab bin a!-Mundhir.

It was narrated from Hurman bin Aban that 'Uthman bin 'Affan (RA) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "I know a word which no one says, sincerely from the heart, but he will be forbidden to the Fire." 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) said to him: I will tell you what it is: it is the word of al-ikhlas by means of which Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, caused Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions to prevail and it is the word of tacjwa that the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) urged his uncle Abu Talib to say when he was dying, the testimony that there is no god but Allah.

It was narrated from Zaid bin Aslam that his father said: I saw 'Uthman M on the day he was besieged in the place where funerals were held; if a stone were to be thrown it would not have landed anywhere but on a man's head. And I saw 'Uthman (RA) look out of the window beside the place where Jibreel once stood, and he said: O people, is Talhah among you? They kept quiet. Then he said: O people, is Talhah among you? They kept quiet. Then he said; O people, is Talhah among you? Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah stood up and 'Uthman (RA) said to him: Are you there? I did not think that you would be in a group of people, hearing me call you three times and not answering me. I adjure you by Allah, O Talhah, do you remember the day when you and I were with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) in such and such a place, and none of his Companions were with him except you and i? He said: Yes. ['Uthman said:] And the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to you: "O Talhah, there is no Prophet but he had a companion from among his ummah who will be with him in Paradise, and this 'Uthman bin 'Affan (RA)'' - meaning me - "is that companion who will be with me in Paradise." Talhah said: By Allah, yes [I remember that]. Then he went away.

'Ubaidullah bin 'Adiyy bin al-Khiyar narrated that 'Uthman (RA) said to him: Verily Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, sent Muhammad (PBUH) with the truth and i was one of those who responded to (the call of) Allah and His Messenger, and I believed in that with which Muhammad (PBUH) was sent. Then I migrated twice, and I also attained the honour of becoming the son-in-law of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH); I swore allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and by Allah, i never disobeyed him or betrayed him until Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, took his soul in death.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Nujayy said: 'Ali (RA) said: I used to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) twice, by night and by day. If I entered upon him and he was praying, he would clear his throat. I came to him one night and he said: "Do you know what the angel did this night? I was praying and I eard some movement in the house. I went out and I saw Jibreel (AS). He said: All night I have been waiting for you. In your house there is a dog and I could not enter. We do not enter the house in which there is a dog or a person who is jitnub or a statue."

It was narrated that Suwaid bin Ghafalah said: 'Ali (RA) said: When I narrate to you from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), it would be dearer to me to be thrown down from the sky than to tell lies about him. But if I narrate to you from anyone else, then I am a warrior and war is deceit. I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "There will emerge at the end of time people who are young in age and immature. They will speak like the best of people but their faith will go no deeper than their throats. Wherever you encounter them, kill them, for killing them brings to the one who kills them reward with Allah on the Day of Resurrection."

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Nujayy al-Hadrami that his father said: 'Ali (RA) said to me: I had a status with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) that no one else had. I used to come to him every morning before dawn and greet him with salam until he cleared his throat. One night I came in and greeted him with salam. I said: Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allah. He said: "Wait a moment, 0 Abu Hasan, until I come out to you." When he came out to me, i said: O Prophet of Allah, has someone upset you? He said: "Mo." I said; Why did you not speak to me in the past, but you spoke to me tonight? He said: "I heard a sound in the room and said: 'Who is this?' He said: 'I am Jibreel, I said: 'Come in.' He said: 'No; come out to me.' When I came out he said: 'In your house there is something that no angel will enter so long as it is there.' I said: 'I did not know, O Jibreel.' He said: 'Go and look.' So I opened the door and i did not find anything apart from a puppy that al-Hasan had been playing with. I said: 'I did not find anything except a puppy.' He said: 'There are three things, no angel will enter so long as one of them is in the house: a dog, major impurity or an image of an animate being.'"

يَتَحَدَّثُونَهُ يَقُولُونَ ذُو الثُّدَيِّ وَذُو الثُّدَيِّ قَالَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ وَقُمْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْقَتْلَى فَدَعَا النَّاسَ فَقَالَ أَتَعْرِفُونَ هَذَا فَمَا أَكْثَرَ مَنْ جَاءَ يَقُولُ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَسْجِدِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ يُصَلِّي وَرَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَسْجِدِ بَنِي فُلَانٍ يُصَلِّي وَلَمْ يَأْتُوا فِيهِ بِثَبَتٍ يُعْرَفُ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ فَمَا قَوْلُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حِينَ قَامَ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يَزْعُمُ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَتْ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا قَالَتْ أَجَلْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ لَا يَرَى شَيْئًا يُعْجِبُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَيَذْهَبُ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ يَكْذِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَيَزِيدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ

It was narrated that 'Ubaidullah bin Tyad bin 'Amr al-Qari said: 'Abdullah bin Shaddad came and entered upon 'A'ishah (RA) when we were sitting with her, as he was returning from Iraq during the time when 'Ali was murdered. She said to him: O 'Abdullah bin Shaddad, will you tell me the truth about what lam going to ask you? Tell me about these people whom 'Ali (RA) killed. He said: Why shouldn't I tell you the truth? She said: Tell me about them. He said: When 'Ali (RA) corresponded with Mu'awiyah and the two arbitrators gave their verdict, eight thousand of the pious rebelled against him and camped in a land called Haroora', near Koofah. They criticised him and said: You have taken off a chemise that Allah caused you to wear and a title that Allah gave to you, then you went ahead and asked people to issue a decree concerning the religion of Allah. There is no ruling except the ruling of Allah, may He be exalted. When 'Ali (RA) heard about their criticism of him and the reason why they had split from hirn, he told his caller not to admit anyone but those who had memorised the Qur'an. When the house was filled with people who had memorised the Qur'an, he called for a large Mushaf and put it front of him, and he started tapping it with his hand, saying; O Mushaf, tell the people. The people called out; O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, how could you ask it? It is only ink and paper, but we could speak on the basis of what we understand from it. What do you want? He said: These companions of yours who rebelled, between me and them is the Book of Allah, and Allah says in His Book concerning a woman and a man: "If you fear a breach between them twain (the man and his wife), appoint (two) arbitrators, one from his family and the other from hers; if they both wish for peace, Allah will cause their reconciliation." [an-Nisa' 4:35]. The ummah of Muhammad is more important with regard to life and sanctity than a woman and a man. They got angry with me when I wrote a document between me and Mu'awiyah and wrote 'Ali bin Abi Talib [without adding the title Ameer al-Mu'mineen]. But Suhail bin 'Amr came to us when we were with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) at al-Hudaibiyah, when he made a peace deal with Quraish, and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) wrote, "In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." Suhail said: Do not write. In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He said: What should we write? He said: Write: "In Your Name, O Allah.'" The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Write "Muhammad the Messenger of Allah." He [Suhail] said; If i knew that you were the Messenger of Allah, I would not have opposed you. So he wrote: This is what was agreed by Muhammad bin 'Abdullah with Quraish. And Allah says in His Book: "Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad (PBUH) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day" [al-Ahzab 33:21]. So 'Ali sent 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (RA) to them and I went out with him until we reached the middle of their camp. Ibnul-Kawwa' stood up and addressed the people, saying: O bearers of the Qur'an, this is 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (RA). Whoever does not know him, I know of the Book of Allah what can tell you about him. He is one of those concerning whom the words "they are a quarrelsome people" [az-Zukhruf 43:58] were revealed. Tell him to go back to the one who sent him and do not discuss the Book of Allah with him. Their spokesmen stood up and said: By Allah, we will discuss the Book of Allah. If he says something sound and true that we recognise we will follow him, and if he says something false we will reject his false argument. So they discussed the Book with 'Abdullah for three days, and four thousand of them recanted and all of them repented, including Ibnul-Kawwa'. He took them to 'Ali in Koofah, and 'Ali sent word to the rest of them, saying: You know the turmoil between us and our opponents. Stay wherever you wish until the urnmah of Muhammad (PBUH) is united. The deal between us and you is that you should not shed any blood that it is forbidden to shed or commit acts of banditry on the roads or do wrong to any non-Muslim under Muslim protection. If you do that, we will declare war, for Allah does not love those who betray. 'A'ishah (RA) said: O Ibn Shaddad, did he kill them? He said: By Allah, no sooner had he sent this message to them but they committed acts of banditry, shed blood and regarded it as permissible to harm ahludh- dhimmah (non-Muslims living under Muslim protection). She said: Do you swear by Allah? He said: I swear by Allah besides Whom there is no other god that this is what happened. She said: I have heard that the people of Iraq are talking and saying dliuth- thuda, dhuth-thuda [i.e., the one with a deformed arm that looks like a breast]. He said: I saw him and I was with 'Ali (RA) when he was examining the slain. He called the people and said: Do you know this one? How many of them came and said: I saw him praying in the mosque of Banu So and so, and i saw him praying in the mosque of Banu So and so. And there was no proof of who he was except that. She said: What did 'Ali (RA) say when he stood over him, as the people of Iraq claim? He said: I heard him say: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. She said: Did you hear him say anything other than that? He said: No, by Allah. She said: Yes, Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. May Allah have mercy on 'Ali (RA); it was his habit, if he saw something he liked, to say: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. But the people of Iraq fabricated lies against him and added words to what he said.
