حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى نَافِعٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ الدُّعَاءِ عِنْدَ الْقِتَالِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَاكَ فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ أَغَارَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَهُمْ غَارُّونَ وَأَنْعَامُهُمْ تُسْقَى عَلَى الْمَاءِ فَقَتَلَ مُقَاتِلَتَهُمْ وَسَبَى ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَصَابَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جُوَيْرِيَةَ ابْنَةَ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Awn said: I wrote to Naafi’ asking him about calling people to islam) before fighting. He wrote back to me (saying): That was only at the beginning of islam the Messenger of Allah raided Banu'l-Mustaliq when they were unaware, and their cattle were drinking at the water. He killed their Warriors and took their women and children captive. On that day Juwayriyah, the daughter of al-Haarith, fell to hB lot. 'Abdullah (ibn 'Umar) narrated this to me, and he was one of that army.

حضرت ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے مروی ہے کہ ایک مرتبہ مدینہ منورہ میں یہ حدیث سنائی کہ جناب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا قیامت کے دن اعمال صالحہ بارگاہ الٰہی میں پیش ہوں گے چنانچہ نماز آکر کہے گی کہ پروردگار میں نماز ہوں ارشاد ہوگا کہ توبھلائی پر ہے پھر زکوۃ آئے گی اور کہے گی کہ پروردگار میں زکوۃ ہوں ارشاد ہوگا کہ توبھلائی پر ہے پھر روزہ آکر کہے گا کہ پروردگار میں روزہ ہوں ارشاد ہوگا کہ تو بھی بھلائی پر ہے اسی طرح سارے اعمال آتے جائیں گے اور اللہ فرماتے جائیں گے کہ تو بھلائی پر ہے پھر اسلام آئے گا اور کہے گا کہ پروردگار تو سلام ہے اور میں اسلام ہوں اللہ فرمائے گا کہ تو بھی بھلائی پر ہے آج میں تیری ہی وجہ سے مواخذہ کروں گا اور تیری ہی وجہ سے عطاء کروں گا ارشاد ربانی ہے جو شخص اسلام کے علاوہ کسی اور دین کو تلاش کرتا ہے تو وہ اس کی جانب سے قبول نہ ہوگا اور وہ شخص آخرت میں نقصان اٹھانے والوں میں سے ہوگا۔

عثمان بن شماخ کہتے ہیں کہ ایک مرتبہ مروان نے میری موجودگی میں حضرت ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے پوچھا کہ آپ نے نماز جنازہ میں نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو کون سی دعاء پڑھتے ہوئے سنا ہے؟ انہوں نے فرمایا کہ میں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو یہ فرماتے ہوئے سنا ہے کہ اے اللہ آپ ہی اس کے رب ہیں آپ ہی نے اسے پیدا کیا آپ ہی نے اسلام کی طرف اس کی رہنمائی فرمائی اور آپ ہی نے اس کی روح قبض فرمائی آپ اس کے پوشیدہ اور ظاہر سب کو جانتے ہیں ہم آپ کے پاس اس کے سفارشی بن کر آئے ہیں آپ اسے معاف فرما دیجئے۔

حضرت ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے مروی ہے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم جب نماز جنازہ پڑھاتے تو یہ دعاء پڑھتے کہ اے اللہ ہمارے زندہ اور فوت شدہ موجود اور غائب چھوٹوں اور بڑوں مردوں اور عورتوں کی بخشش فرما اے اللہ تو ہم میں سے جسے زندہ رکھا اسلام پر زندہ رکھ اور جسے موت دے ایمان پر موت دے۔

Shuraih bin 'Ubaid narrated that 'Umar bin al-Khattab said: I went out looking for the Messenger of Allah before I became Muslim, and I found that he had reached the mosque before me. I stood behind him and he started to recite Sooratal-Haqqah, and I was amazed by the way in which the Qur'an was composed. I said: By Allah, this man is a poet as Quraish said. Then he recited: "That this is verily, the word of an honoured Messenger [i.e. Jibreel (Gabriel) or Muhammad which he has brought from Allah]. It is not the word of a poet, little is that you believe!" [al-Haqqah 69:40*41]. I said: (He is a) soothsayer. He said: "Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller), little is that you remember! This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of the 'Alameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists). And if he (Muhammad had forged a false saying concerning Us (Allah). We surely would have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might). And then We certainly would have cut off his life artery (aorta). And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him..." [al-Haqqah 69:42-47]. He said: Then i felt an over-whelming attraction to Islam.

It was narrated that Yahya bin Ya'mar and Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman al-Himyari said: We met 'Abdullah bin 'Umar and discussed the divine decree ( al-qadar) and what others said concerning it. He said: When you go back to them, say: Ibn 'Umar has nothing to do with you and you have nothing to do with him three times. Then he said: 'Umar bin al-Khattab told me that whilst they were sitting with the Prophet a man came to him walking, with a handsome face and hair, wearing white clothes. The people looked at one another (as if to say): We do not know this man and he does not look like a traveller. Then he said: O Messenger of Allah, shall I come to you? He said: "Yes." So he came and put his knees against his knees and his hands on his thighs and said: What is Islam? He said: "To testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish regular prayer, to give zakah, to fast Ramadan and to go on pilgrimage to the House." He said: What is faith (eeman)? He said: "To believe in Allah, His angels. Paradise and Hell, resurrection after death and the divine decree, all of it." He said: What is ihsan? He said: "To strive for the sake of Allah as if you see Him, and even though you do not see Him, He sees you." He said: When will the Hour come? He said: "The one who is asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking." He said: What are its portents? He said: "When the destitute, barefoot, naked shepherds compete in constructing lofty buildings, and the slave women give birth to their masters." Then he said: "Call the man to me." They looked for him but they saw no trace of him. Two or three days passed, then he said: "O Ibn al-Khattab, do you know who that was who asked about such and such?" He said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: "That was Jibreel who came to teach you your religion." A man from Juhainah or Muzainah asked him: O Messenger of Allahwhat are we striving for? Is it . something that is already decided or is it something that is evolving right now? He said: "For some thing that is already decided." The man or one of the people said: O Messenger of Allah, then why should we strive? He said: "The people of Paradise will be enabled to do the deeds of the people of Paradise and the people of Hell will be enabled to do the deeds of the people of Hell." Yahya said: And that is how it is.

It was narrated from Ma'dan bin Abi Talhah that 'Umar bin al-Khattab delivered a khutbah one Friday, and he mentioned the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) and Abu Bakr (RA). He said: I dreamt that a rooster pecked me twice, and I can only interpret it as meaning that my death is near, and there are people who are telling me I should appoint someone to be my successor, but Allah will not cause His religion and the caliphate, with which He sent His Prophet (PBUH) , to be lost. If death comes to me soon, then the caliphate is to be decided by these six men with whom the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was pleased when he died. Whichever of them you swear allegiance to, then listen to him and obey. I know that some people will object to this matter. I have fought them with my own hands in the defence of Islam. If they do that, then they are the enemies of Allah and misguided kafirs. I am not leaving behind anything more important to me than kalalah. The Messenger of Allah never emphasised any issue to me since I accompanied him more than the issue of kalalah, and I did not ask him about anything more than I asked him about kalalah, until he poked me in the chest with his finger and said: "O 'Umar, is not ayatus-saif (the verse of summer, i.e., it was revealed in summer), which appears at the end of Soorat an-Nisa', sufficient for you?" If I live I will issue a decree that will be so clear that those who read the Qur' an and those who do not read it will be able to make decisions concerning it. Then he said: O Allah, l call upon You to bear witness over the governors of the regions, for I only sent them to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet and to the divide the fai' among them and to be just to them and to refer to me concerning any difficult matter. O people, you eat two plants which I find to be nothing but repugnant. I remember the Messenger of Allah if he noticed their smell coming from a man in the mosque, he would issue orders that he taken by the hand and led out to al-Baqee'.

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 Tariq bin Shihab that the Jews said to 'Umar: You recite a verse which, if it had been revealed among us, we would have taken that dav as a festival. 'Umar said: I know where it was revealed, on what day it was revealed and where the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was when it was revealed. It was revealed on the day of 'Arafah, when the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was standing in 'Arafah. Sufyan said: I am not sure whether it was a Friday or not, i.e., "This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion" [al-Ma'idah 5:3].

It was narrated that Malik bin Aws bin al-Hadathan said: 'Umar would swear an oath three times, saying: By Allah, no one has more right to this wealth than anyone else, I have no more right to it than anyone else; there is no Muslim who does not have a share in this wealth, except a slave, but it is to be divided according to our categories in the light of the Book of Allah and our closeness to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). Thus it is to be given on the basis of a man's efforts for the sake of Islam, his seniority in Islam, his support for Islam, and his need. By Allah, if I live, a shepherd in the mountains of San' a' will get his share of that wealth when he is tending his flock.

It was narrated from Zaid bin Aslam, from his father who said: I heard 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) say: Why are we running now and uncovering our shoulders [in tawaf], when Allah has caused Islam to prevail and has eliminated kufr and its people? Whatever the case, we will never give up something that we did at the time of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).

It was narrated from Ma'dan bin Abi Talhah al-Ya'mari that 'Umar (RA) stood up to deliver a khutbah. He praised and glorified Allah, then he mentioned the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) and Abu Bakr (RA), then he said: "I have seen a dream, in which I saw myself being pecked by a rooster twice, and I think it signals my death. The people are telling me to appoint a caliph after me. Allah will not cause His caliphate or His religion to be lost, or that with which He sent His Prophet. If I die, then the caliphate is to be decided by a council of these six men with whom the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was pleased when he died, then whichever of them you swear allegiance to, listen to him and obey. I know that there are some men who will seek to undermine this matter, and I have fought them with these two hands of mine in support of Islam. If they do that, then those are the enemies of Allah, the misguided disbelievers. By Allah, i am not leaving behind anything of more concern to me than kalalah. i asked the Prophet of Allah (PBUH) about it and he never spoke to me in such a harsh manner as he did with regard to that, to such an extent that he poked me in the chest or side with his hand or his finger and said: "O 'Umar! The verse at the end of Soorat an-Nisa' that was revealed in summer is sufficient for you." If i live, i will pass a judgement concerning it that no one who reads Qur'an or who does not read Qur'an will dispute. Then 'Umar said: O Allah, bear witness concerning the governors of the regions; i sent them to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet, and to divide the fid’ among them, and to judge between them on a fair basis, and whatever they found difficult they were to refer to me. Then he said: O people, you eat two plants that I think are nothing but distasteful, this garlic and onion. At the time of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), I would see that if the smell of these things was found on a man, he would be taken by the hand and led out to al-Baqee'. Whoever must eat them, let him cook them to death. 'Umar (RA) said this in a kfiutbah on Friday, and was stabbed on Wednesday 26 Dhul-Hijjah.

It was narrated that Juwairiyyah bin Qudamah said: I did Hajj and I came to Madinah the year 'Umar was stabbed. He gave a speech and said: I dreamt that a red rooster pecked me once or twice - Shu'bah was not certain and what happened was that he was stabbed. The people were given permission to enter upon him. The first ones to enter upon him were the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH), then the people of Madinah, then the people of Syria. Then permission was given to the people of Iraq, and I was among those who entered upon him. Every time people entered upon him, they praised him and wept. When we entered upon him, he had wrapped his stomach with a black turban cloth, and blood was flowing. We said: Give us some advice; and no one asked him for advice except us. He said: You have to adhere to the Book of Allah, for you will never go astray so long as you follow it. We said: Advise us. He said: I urge you to be kind to the Muhajireen, for the people will increase in number and they will decrease. And I advise you to be kind to the Ansar, for they are the people of Islam with whom Islam sought refuge. And I advise you to be kind to the Bedouin, for they are your origin and your strength. And I advise you be kind to the non-Muslim people under your rule (ahludh-dhimmah), for they have a covenant with your Prophet and they give you a source of income. You may leave now. And he did not say any more to us than these words, Muhammad bin Ja'far said: Shu'bah said: Then after that I asked him and he said concerning the Bedouin: I advise you to be kind to the Bedouin, for they are your brothers and the enemy of your enemy.

Ibn 'Umar said: 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) told me: Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) one day, a man came to us whose garment was exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly black, and we did not see any signs of travel on him, and none of us knew who he was. He came and sat before the Prophet (PBUH), resting his knees against his and placing his hands on his thighs. He said: O Muhammad, tell me about Islam: what is Islam? The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Islam means to bear witness that there is no god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish regular prayer, to pay zakah, to fast Ramadan and to perform pilgrimage to the House (the Ka'bah), if you have the means." He said: You have spoken the truth. He ('Umar) said: It amazed us, how he questioned him and said that he had spoken the truth. He said: Tell me about faith ( Eenian ). He said: "Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels. His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in al-qadar (the divine will and decree), both good and bad." He said: You have spoken the truth. He said: Tell me about ihsan: what is ihsan ? Yazeed said: - "It is to worship Allah as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Him, He sees you." He said: Tell me about the Hour. He said: "The one who is asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking." He said: Then tell me about its signs. lie said: "When the slave woman gives birth to her mistress, and when you see the barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in the construction of lofty buildings." He ['Umar] said: Then he went away. He ['Umar] waited for a while - Yazeed said: three (days). Then he (the Prophet (PBUH)) said to me: "O 'Umar, do you know who that questioner was?" I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: "That was Jibreel, who came to you to teach you your religion."

It was narrated that Ibn Ya'mar said: I said to Ibn "Umar: We travel to different countries and we meet people who say there is no qadar (divine decree). Ibn 'Umar said: If you meet them, tell them that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar has nothing to do with them and they have nothing to do with him - three times. Then he started narrating: Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah (RA), there came a man.,, and he described his appearance. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Come closer, so he came closer. He said: Come closer, so he came closer. He said: Come closer, so he came closer, until his knees were nearly touching [the Prophet's] knees. Then he said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me what is faith [or: about faith]. He said: "To believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in al-qadar” - Sufyan said: I think he said: "... both good and bad." He said: What is Islam? He said: "To establish prayer, pay zakah, perform pilgrimage to the House, to fast Ramadan and to do ghusl in the case of janabah” For all of that, he [the stranger] said: You are right, you are right. The people said: We never saw any man show more respect to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) than this man did. It was as if he was teaching the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). Then he said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about ihsan. He said: “It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for even if you do not see Him, He sees you." For all of that we said: We never saw any man show more respect to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) than this man did; he said: You are right, you are right. He said: Tell me about the Hour. He said: "The one who is asked about it does not know more about it than one who is asking." He said: You are right. He said it several times, and we never saw any man show more respect to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) than this man did. Then he left. Sufyan said: I heard that die Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Look for him," but they did not find him. He said: "That was ]ibred who came to you to teach you your religion. He never came to me in any form but I recognised him, except for this form."

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.

'Ubaidullah bin Abi Rafi' said: i heard 'Ali (RA) say: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sent me, az-Zubair and al-Miqdad, and he said: "Go to the garden of Khakh, where you will find a woman riding a camel with whom there is a letter, and take it from her." We set out, with our horses galloping, until we reached that garden, and there we found the woman. We said: Give us the letter. She said: i do not have any letter. We said: Either you give us the letter or we will remove your clothes. So she brought it out from her braided hair, and we took it and brought it to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and in it (was written): From Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah to some of the muzhrikeen of Makkah, telling them about some of the plans of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "O Hatib, what is this?" He said: Do not be hasty in judging me, O Messenger of Allah. I am a man who was attached to Quraish but I was not one of them. The Muhajireen who are with you have relatives who will protect their families in Makkah, and I wanted, as I have no blood ties among them, to do them a favour so that they would protect my family. I did not do it out of kufr or because i apostatized from my religion, or because I approved of kufr after becoming Muslim, The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "He has told you the truth." 'Umar (RA) said: O Messenger of Allah, let me strike the neck of this hypocrite, He said: "He was present at Badr, and you do not know, perhaps Allah looked upon the people of Badr and said: 'Do what you wish, for I have forgiven you."

It was narrated that Zaid bin Wahb said: When the Khawarij rebelled and fought in an-Nahrawan, 'Ali (RA) stood before his companions and said: These people have shed blood that it is forbidden to shed and have raided the flocks of the people. They are the closest of the enemy to you, but if you go to your enemy, I am afraid that these people may attack what you leave behind. I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "Some rebels will emerge from my ummah; your prayer will be as nothing compared to their prayer, and year fasting will be as nothing compared to their fasting, and your recitation will be as nothing compared to their recitation. They will recite the Qur'an, thinking that it is in their favour, but it will be against them; it will go no further than their throats. They will pass out of Islam as the arrow passes out of the prey. The sign of that is that among them will be a man who has an upper arm but no forearm, and on it will be some- thing like the nipple of a breast, on which will be some white hairs." If the army that fights them knew what reward they will have, as spoken on the lips of their Prophet, they would cease striving and rely on that . March forth in the Name of Allah. And he narrated the hadeeth at length.

It was narrated that Habbah bin al-'Urani said: I saw 'Ali (RA) smiling on the minbar and I never saw him smile more than that, [so broadly that] his eyeteeth appeared. Then he said: I remember what Abu Talib said. Abu Talib came to us when i was with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and we were praying in Batn Nakhlah. He said: What are you two doing, O son of my brother? The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) called him to Islam, but he said: There is nothing wrong with what you are doing (or saying), but by Allah you will never get my buttocks higher than me. And ['Ali] smiled in amazement at what his father said. Then he said: O Allah, I do not know that there is a slave of Yours in this nation who worshipped You before me except Your Prophet - and he said it three times. [Then he said:] I prayed seven years before the people prayed.
