حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُوسَى، بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ وَأَبِي الضُّحَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ الْعَبْسِيِّ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ، اللَّهِ قَالَ جَاءَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الأَعْرَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَيْهِمُ الصُّوفُ فَرَأَى سُوءَ حَالِهِمْ قَدْ أَصَابَتْهُمْ حَاجَةٌ فَحَثَّ النَّاسَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَبْطَئُوا عَنْهُ حَتَّى رُئِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ - قَالَ - ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ جَاءَ بِصُرَّةٍ مِنْ وَرِقٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ ثُمَّ تَتَابَعُوا حَتَّى عُرِفَ السُّرُورُ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ سَنَّ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ سُنَّةً حَسَنَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كُتِبَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا وَلاَ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَىْءٌ وَمَنْ سَنَّ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ سُنَّةً سَيِّئَةً فَعُمِلَ بِهَا بَعْدَهُ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ وِزْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا وَلاَ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَىْءٌ " .
Jarir b. Abdullah reported that some desert Arabs clad in woollen clothes came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He saw them in sad plight as they had been hard pressed by need. He (the Holy Prophet) exhorted people to give charity, but they showed some reluctance until (signs) of anger could be seen on his face. Then a person from the Ansar came with a purse containing silver. Then came another person and then other persons followed them in succession until signs of happiness could be seen on his (sacred) face. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:He who introduced some good practice in Islam which was followed after him (by people) he would be assured of reward like one who followed it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who introduced some evil practice in Islam which had been followed subsequently (by others), he would be required to bear the burden like that of one who followed this (evil practice) without their's being diminished in any respect

Ibn Shihab reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made an expedition to Tabuk and he (the Holy Prophet) had in his mind (the idea of threatening the) Christians of Arabia in Syria and those of Rome. Ibn Shihab (further) reported that 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Abdullah b. Ka'b informed him that Abdullah b. Ka'b who served as the guide of Ka'b b. 'Malik as he became blind that he heard Ka'b b. Malik narrate the story of his remaining behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from the Battle of Tabuk. Ka'b b. Malik said:I never remained behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from any expedition which he undertook except the Battle of Tabuk and that of the Battle of Badr. So far as the Battle of Badr is concerned, nobody was blamed for remaining behind as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the Muslims (did not set out for attack but for waylaying) the caravan of the Quraish, but it was Allah Who made them confront their enemies without their intention (to do so). I had the honour to be with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the night of 'Aqaba when we pledged our allegiance to Islam and it was more dear to me than my participation in the Battle of Badr, although Badr was more popular amongst people as compared with that (Tabuk). And this is my story of remaining back from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk. Never did I possess means enough and (my circumstances) more favourable than at the occasion of this expedition. And, by Allah, I had never before this expedition simultaneously in my possession two rides. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out for this expedition in extremely hot season; the journey was long and the land (which he and his army had to cover) was waterless and he had to confront a large army, so he informed the Muslims about the actual situation (they had to face), so that they should adequately equip themselves for this expedition, and he also told them the destination where he intended to go. And the Muslims who accompanied Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at that time were large in numbers but there was no proper record of them. Ka'b (further) said: Few were the persons who wanted to absent themselves, and were under the impression that they could easily conceal themselves (and thus remain undetected) until revelations from Allah, the Exalted and Glorious (descended in connection with them). And Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out on an expedition when the fruits were ripe and their shadows had been lengthened. I had weakness for them and it was during this season that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made preparations and the Muslims too along with them. I also set out in the morning so that I should make preparations along with them but I came back and did nothing and said to myself: I have means enough (to make preparations) as soon as I like. And I went on doing this (postponing my preparations) until people were about to depart and it was in the morning that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out and the Muslims too along with him, but I made no preparations. I went early in the morning and came back, but I made no decision. I continued to do so until they (the Muslims) hastened and covered a good deal of distance. I also made up my mind to march on and to meet them. Would that I had done that but perhaps it was not destined for me. After the departure of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as I went out amongst people, I was shocked to find that I did not find anyone like me but people who were labelled as hypocrites or the people whom Allah granted exemption because of their incapacity and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took no notice of me until he had reached Tabuk. (One day as he was sitting amongst the people in Tabuk) he said: What has happened to Ka'b b. Malik? A person from Banu' Salama said: Allah's Messenger, the (beauty) of his cloak and his appreciation of his sides have allured him and he was thus detained. Mua'dh b. Jabal said: Woe be upon that what you contend. Allah's Messenger, by Allah, we know nothing about him but good. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), however, kept quiet. It was during that time that he (the Holy Prophet) saw a person (dressed in all white (garment) shattering the illusion of eye (mirage). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: May he be Abu Khaithama and, lo, it was Abu Khaithama al-Ansari and he was that person who contributed a sa' of dates and was scoffed at by the hypocrites. Ka'b b. Malik farther said: When this news reached me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was on his way back from Tabuk I was greatly perturbed. I thought of fabricating false stories and asked myself how I would save myself from his anger on the following day. In this connection, I sought the help of every prudent man from amongst the members of my family and when it was said to me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was about to arrive, all the false ideas banished (from my mind) and I came to the conclusion that nothing could save me but the telling of truth, so I decided to speak the truth and it was in the morning that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived (in Medina). And it was his habit that as he came back from a journey he first went to the mosque and observed two Rak'ahs of nafl prayer (as a mark of gratitude) and then sat amongst people. And as he did that, those who had remained behind him began to put forward their excuses and take an oath before him and they were more than eighty persons. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) accepted their excuses on the very face of them and accepted their allegiance and sought forgiveness for them and left their secret (intentions) to Allah, until I presented myself to him. I greeted him and he smiled and there was a tinge of anger in that. He (the Holy Prophet) then said to me: Come forward. I went forward until I sat in front of him. He said to me: What kept you back? Could you not afford to go in for a ride? I said: Allah's Messenger, by Allah, if I were to sit in the presence of anybody else from amongst the worldly people I would have definitely saved myself from his anger on one pretext (or the other) and I have also the knack to fall into argumentation, but, by Allah, I am fully aware of the fact that if I were to put forward before you a false excuse to please you Allah would definitely provoke your wrath upon me, and if I speak the truth you may be annoyed with me, but I hope that Allah would make its end well and, by Allah, there is no valid excuse for me. By Allah, I never possessed so good means, and I never had such favourable conditions for me as I had when I stayed behind you (failed to join the expedition). Thereupon, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: This man told the truth, so get up until Allah gives a decision in your case. I stood up and some people of Banu' Salama followed me in hot haste, and they said to me: By Allah, we do not know about you that you committed a sin prior to this. You, however, showed inability to put forward an excuse before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as those who stayed behind him have put forward excuses. It would have been enough for the forgiveness of your sin that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would have sought forgiveness for you. By Allah, they continued to incite me until I thought of going back to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and contradict myself. Then I said to them: Has anyone else also met the same fate? They said: Yes, two persons have met the same fate as has fallen to you and they have made the sane statement as you have made, and the same verdict has been delivered in their case as it has been delivered in your case. I said: Who are they? They said: Murara b. ar-Rabi'a 'Amiri and Hilal b. Umayya al-Waqafi. They made a mention of these two pious persons to me who had participated in the Battle of Badr and there was an example for me in them. I went away when they named these two persons. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the Nluslims to talk with three of us from amongst those (persons) who had stayed behind him. The people began to avoid us and their attitude towards us underwent a change and it seemed as if the whole atmosphere had turned (hostile) against us and it was in fact the same atmosphere ot which I was fully aware and in which I had lived (for a fairly long time). We spent fifty nights in this very state and my two friends confined themselves withen their houses and spent (most of the) time in weeping, but as I was young and strong amongst them I got (out of my house), participated in congregational prayers, moved about in the bazar; but none spoke to me. I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he sat amongst (people) after the prayer, greeted him and asked myself whether his lips stirred in response to my greetings (or not). Then I observed prayer beside him and looked at him with stealing glances and when I attended to my prayer, he looked at me and when I cast a glance at him he turned away his eyes from me. And when the harsh treatment of the Muslims towards me extended to a (considerable) length of time, I walked until I climbed upon the wall of the garden of Abu Qatada, and he was my cousin, and I had the greatest love for him. I greeted him but, by Allah, he did not respond to my greetings. I said to him: Abu Qatada, I adjure you by Allah, arn't you well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) the most. He kept quiet. I again repeated saying: I adjure you by Allah. arn't you well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) the most. He kept quiet. I again adjured him, whereupon he said: Allah and the Messenger (ﷺ) are best aware of it. My eyes began to shed tears and I came back climbing down from the wall and as I was walking in the bazar of Medina a Nabatean from amongst the Nabateans of Syria, who had come to sell foodgrains in Medina, asked people to direct him to Ka'b b. Malik. People gave him the indication by pointing towards me. He came to me and delivered to me a letter of the King of Ghassan and as I was a scribe I read that letter and it was written like this:" Coming to my point, it has been conveyed to us that your friend (the Holy Prophet) is subjecting you to cruelty and Allah has not created you for a place where you are to be degraded and where you cannot find your right place, so you come to us that we should accord you honour. As I read that letter I said: This is also a calamity, so I burnt it in the oven. When out of the fifty days, forty days had passed and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) received no revelation, there came the messenger of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to me and said: Verily, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has commanded you to remain separate from your wife. I said: Should I divorce her or what (else) should I do? He said: No, but only remain separate from her and don't have sexual contact with her. The same message was sent to my companions. So I said to my wife: You better go to your parents and stay there with them until Allah gives the decision in my case. The wife of Hilal b. Umayya came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, Hilal b. Umayya is a senile person, he has no servant. Do you disapprove of my serving him? He said: No, but don't go near him. She said: By Allah, he has no such instinct in him. By Allah, he spends his time in weeping from that day to this day. Some of the members of my family said to me: Were you to seek permission from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in regard to your wife as he has granted permission to the wife of Hilal b. Umayya to serve him. I said: I would not seek permission from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), for I cannot say what Allah's Apostle may say in response to seeking my permission. Moreover, I am a young man. It was in this state that I spent ten more nights and thus fifty nights had passed that (people) had observed boycott with us. It was on the morning of the fiftieth night that I observed my dawn prayer and was sitting on one of the roofs of our houses. And I was in fact sitting in that very state which Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has described about us in these words:" Life had become hard for myself and the earth had compressed despite its vastness," that I heard the noise of an announcer from the peak of the hill of Sal' saying at the top of his voice: Ka'b b. Malik, there is glad tidings for you. I fell down in prostration and came to realise that there was (a message of) relief for me. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had informed the people of the acceptance of our repentance by Allah as he offered the dawn prayer. So the people went on to give us glad tidings and some of them went to my friends in order to give them the glad tidings and a person galloped his horse and came from the tribe of Aslam and his horse reached me more quickly than his voice. And when he came to me whose sound I heard, he gave me the glad tidings. I took off my clothes and clothed him with them because of his bringing good news to me and, by Allah, I possessed nothing else (in the form of clothes) than these two on that occasion, and I asked one to lend me two clothes and dressed myself in them. I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and on my way I met groups of people who greeted me because of (the acceptance of) repentance and they said: Here is a greeting for you for your repentance being accepted by Allah. (I moved on) until I came to the mosque and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had been sitting there amongst persons. So Talha b. 'Ubaidullah got up and rushed towards me and he shook hands with me and greeted me and, by Allah, no person stood up (to greet me) from amongst the emigrants except he. Ka'b said that he never forgot (this good gesture of) Talha. Ka'b further said: I greeted Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with Assalam-o-'Alaikam and his face was glistening because of delight, and he said: Let there be glad tidings and blessings for you, the like of which (you have neither found nor you will find, as you find today) since your mother gave your birth. I said: Allah's Messenger. is this acceptance of repentance from you or from Allah? He said: No, (it is not from ma), it is from Allah, and it was common with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that as he was happy his face brightened up and it looked like a part of the moon and it was from this that we recognised it (his delight). As I sat before him, I said: Allah's Messenger, am I allowed to give in charity my wealth for Allah's sake and for the sake of His Messenger (ﷺ)? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Keep some property with you as it is better for you. I said: I shall keep with me that part (of my property) which fell to my lot (on the occasion of the expedition of) Khaibar. I said: Allah's Messenger, verily, Allah has granted me salvation because of truth and, therefore, (I think) that repentance implies that I should not speak anything but truth as long as I live. He said: By Allah, I do not know whether anyone amongst the Muslims was put to more severe trial than I by Allah because of telling the truth. And since I made a mention of this to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) up to this day I have not told any lie and, by Allah, I have decided not to tell a lie and I hope that Allah would save me (from trials) for the rest of my life and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed these verses:" Certainly, Allah has turned in Mercy to the Prophet and the emigrants and the helpers who followed him in the hour of hardship after the hearts of a part of them were about to deviate; then He turned to them in mercy. Surely, to them He is Compassionate, Merciful and (He turned in Mercy) to the three who were left behind until the earth despite its vastness became strait for them and their souls were also straitened to them." And this revelation reached up to the (words):" O you who believe, develop God consciousness, and be with the truthful" (ix. 117-118). Ka'b said: By Allah, since Allah directed me to Islam there has been no blessing more significant for me than this truth of mine which I spoke to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and if I were to tell a lie I would have been ruined as were ruined those who told lies, for in regard to those who told lies Allah used harshest words used for anyone as He descended revelation (and the words of Allah are):" They will swear by Allah to you when you return to them so that you may leave them alone. So leave them alone. Surely, they are unclean and their resort is Hell, recompense for what they earned. They will swear to you that you may be pleased with them but if you are pleased with them, yet surely Allah is not pleased with the transgressing people" (ix. 95-96). K'ab said that the matter of us three persons was deferred as compared with those who took an oath in the presence of Allahs Messenger (ﷺ) and he accepted their allegiance and sought forgiveness for them and Allah did not give any decision in regard to us. It was Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, Who gave decisions in our case, three who remained behind. (The words of the Qur'an)" the three who were left behind" do not mean that we remained back from Jihad but these imply that He kept our matter behind them who took oath and presented excuse before Him.

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ ثُمَّ غَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الرُّومَ وَنَصَارَى الْعَرَبِ بِالشَّامِ . قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَأَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ كَانَ قَائِدَ كَعْبٍ مِنْ بَنِيهِ حِينَ عَمِيَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثَهُ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ قَالَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ لَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا قَطُّ إِلاَّ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي قَدْ تَخَلَّفْتُ فِي غَزْوَةِ بَدْرٍ وَلَمْ يُعَاتِبْ أَحَدًا تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ إِنَّمَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ يُرِيدُونَ عِيرَ قُرَيْشٍ حَتَّى جَمَعَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ عَدُوِّهُمْ عَلَى غَيْرِ مِيعَادٍ وَلَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ حِينَ تَوَاثَقْنَا عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِهَا مَشْهَدَ بَدْرٍ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَدْرٌ أَذْكَرَ فِي النَّاسِ مِنْهَا وَكَانَ مِنْ خَبَرِي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ قَطُّ أَقْوَى وَلاَ أَيْسَرَ مِنِّي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ وَاللَّهِ مَا جَمَعْتُ قَبْلَهَا رَاحِلَتَيْنِ قَطُّ حَتَّى جَمَعْتُهُمَا فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ فَغَزَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ سَفَرًا بَعِيدًا وَمَفَازًا وَاسْتَقْبَلَ عَدُوًّا كَثِيرًا فَجَلاَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمْرَهُمْ لِيَتَأَهَّبُوا أُهْبَةَ غَزْوِهِمْ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِوَجْهِهِمُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَثِيرٌ وَلاَ يَجْمَعُهُمْ كِتَابُ حَافِظٍ - يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ الدِّيوَانَ - قَالَ كَعْبٌ فَقَلَّ رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَتَغَيَّبَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ سَيَخْفَى لَهُ مَا لَمْ يَنْزِلْ فِيهِ وَحْىٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَغَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةَ حِينَ طَابَتِ الثِّمَارُ وَالظِّلاَلُ فَأَنَا إِلَيْهَا أَصْعَرُ فَتَجَهَّزَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَهُ وَطَفِقْتُ أَغْدُو لِكَىْ أَتَجَهَّزَ مَعَهُمْ فَأَرْجِعُ وَلَمْ أَقْضِ شَيْئًا . وَأَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَا قَادِرٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ . فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ يَتَمَادَى بِي حَتَّى اسْتَمَرَّ بِالنَّاسِ الْجِدُّ فَأَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَادِيًا وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَهُ وَلَمْ أَقْضِ مِنْ جَهَازِي شَيْئًا ثُمَّ غَدَوْتُ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَقْضِ شَيْئًا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ يَتَمَادَى بِي حَتَّى أَسْرَعُوا وَتَفَارَطَ الْغَزْوُ فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَرْتَحِلَ فَأُدْرِكَهُمْ فَيَا لَيْتَنِي فَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُقَدَّرْ ذَلِكَ لِي فَطَفِقْتُ إِذَا خَرَجْتُ فِي النَّاسِ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَحْزُنُنِي أَنِّي لاَ أَرَى لِي أُسْوَةً إِلاَّ رَجُلاً مَغْمُوصًا عَلَيْهِ فِي النِّفَاقِ أَوْ رَجُلاً مِمَّنْ عَذَرَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الضُّعَفَاءِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى بَلَغَ تَبُوكًا فَقَالَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْقَوْمِ بِتَبُوكَ " مَا فَعَلَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ " . قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَبَسَهُ بُرْدَاهُ وَالنَّظَرُ فِي عِطْفَيْهِ . فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ خَيْرًا . فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ رَأَى رَجُلاً مُبَيِّضًا يَزُولُ بِهِ السَّرَابُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " كُنْ أَبَا خَيْثَمَةَ " . فَإِذَا هُو أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ وَهُوَ الَّذِي تَصَدَّقَ بِصَاعِ التَّمْرِ حِينَ لَمَزَهُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ . فَقَالَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ تَوَجَّهَ قَافِلاً مِنْ تَبُوكَ حَضَرَنِي بَثِّي فَطَفِقْتُ أَتَذَكَّرُ الْكَذِبَ وَأَقُولُ بِمَ أَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَخَطِهِ غَدًا وَأَسْتَعِينُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كُلَّ ذِي رَأْىٍ مِنْ أَهْلِي فَلَمَّا قِيلَ لِي إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ أَظَلَّ قَادِمًا زَاحَ عَنِّي الْبَاطِلُ حَتَّى عَرَفْتُ أَنِّي لَنْ أَنْجُوَ مِنْهُ بِشَىْءٍ أَبَدًا فَأَجْمَعْتُ صِدْقَهُ وَصَبَّحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَادِمًا وَكَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ بَدَأَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ فَرَكَعَ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ لِلنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ جَاءَهُ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ فَطَفِقُوا يَعْتَذِرُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَيَحْلِفُونَ لَهُ وَكَانُوا بِضْعَةً وَثَمَانِينَ رَجُلاً فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلاَنِيَتَهُمْ وَبَايَعَهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمْ وَوَكَلَ سَرَائِرَهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ حَتَّى جِئْتُ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمْتُ تَبَسَّمَ تَبَسُّمَ الْمُغْضَبِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " تَعَالَ " . فَجِئْتُ أَمْشِي حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي " مَا خَلَّفَكَ " . أَلَمْ تَكُنْ قَدِ ابْتَعْتَ ظَهْرَكَ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَوْ جَلَسْتُ عِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا لَرَأَيْتُ أَنِّي سَأَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَخَطِهِ بِعُذْرٍ وَلَقَدْ أُعْطِيتُ جَدَلاً وَلَكِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ لَئِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيثَ كَذِبٍ تَرْضَى بِهِ عَنِّي لَيُوشِكَنَّ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُسْخِطَكَ عَلَىَّ وَلَئِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ حَدِيثَ صِدْقٍ تَجِدُ عَلَىَّ فِيهِ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو فِيهِ عُقْبَى اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَ لِي عُذْرٌ وَاللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ قَطُّ أَقْوَى وَلاَ أَيْسَرَ مِنِّي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْكَ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ صَدَقَ فَقُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ " . فَقُمْتُ وَثَارَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَاتَّبَعُونِي فَقَالُوا لِي وَاللَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَاكَ أَذْنَبْتَ ذَنْبًا قَبْلَ هَذَا لَقَدْ عَجَزْتَ فِي أَنْ لاَ تَكُونَ اعْتَذَرْتَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَا اعْتَذَرَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ فَقَدْ كَانَ كَافِيَكَ ذَنْبَكَ اسْتِغْفَارُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَكَ . قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَالُوا يُؤَنِّبُونَنِي حَتَّى أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأُكَذِّبَ نَفْسِي - قَالَ - ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُمْ هَلْ لَقِيَ هَذَا مَعِي مِنْ أَحَدٍ قَالُوا نَعَمْ لَقِيَهُ مَعَكَ رَجُلاَنِ قَالاَ مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتَ فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا مِثْلُ مَا قِيلَ لَكَ - قَالَ - قُلْتُ مَنْ هُمَا قَالُوا مُرَارَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ الْعَامِرِيُّ وَهِلاَلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الْوَاقِفِيُّ - قَالَ - فَذَكَرُوا لِي رَجُلَيْنِ صَالِحَيْنِ قَدْ شِهِدَا بَدْرًا فِيهِمَا أُسْوَةٌ - قَالَ - فَمَضَيْتُ حِينَ ذَكَرُوهُمَا لِي . قَالَ وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَنْ كَلاَمِنَا أَيُّهَا الثَّلاَثَةُ مِنْ بَيْنِ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ - قَالَ - فَاجْتَنَبَنَا النَّاسُ - وَقَالَ - تَغَيَّرُوا لَنَا حَتَّى تَنَكَّرَتْ لِي فِي نَفْسِيَ الأَرْضُ فَمَا هِيَ بِالأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْرِفُ فَلَبِثْنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ خَمْسِينَ لَيْلَةً فَأَمَّا صَاحِبَاىَ فَاسْتَكَانَا وَقَعَدَا فِي بُيُوتِهِمَا يَبْكِيَانِ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَكُنْتُ أَشَبَّ الْقَوْمِ وَأَجْلَدَهُمْ فَكُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ فَأَشْهَدُ الصَّلاَةَ وَأَطُوفُ فِي الأَسْوَاقِ وَلاَ يُكَلِّمُنِي أَحَدٌ وَآتِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَأَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي هَلْ حَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ بِرَدِّ السَّلاَمِ أَمْ لاَ ثُمَّ أُصَلِّي قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ وَأُسَارِقُهُ النَّظَرَ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى صَلاَتِي نَظَرَ إِلَىَّ وَإِذَا الْتَفَتُّ نَحْوَهُ أَعْرَضَ عَنِّي حَتَّى إِذَا طَالَ ذَلِكَ عَلَىَّ مِنْ جَفْوَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَشَيْتُ حَتَّى تَسَوَّرْتُ جِدَارَ حَائِطِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّي وَأَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَىَّ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا رَدَّ عَلَىَّ السَّلاَمَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمَنَّ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ فَعُدْتُ فَنَاشَدْتُهُ فَسَكَتَ فَعُدْتُ فَنَاشَدْتُهُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ . فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاىَ وَتَوَلَّيْتُ حَتَّى تَسَوَّرْتُ الْجِدَارَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي فِي سُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا نَبَطِيٌّ مِنْ نَبَطِ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ مِمَّنْ قَدِمَ بِالطَّعَامِ يَبِيعُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَدُلُّ عَلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ - قَالَ - فَطَفِقَ النَّاسُ يُشِيرُونَ لَهُ إِلَىَّ حَتَّى جَاءَنِي فَدَفَعَ إِلَىَّ كِتَابًا مِنْ مَلِكِ غَسَّانَ وَكُنْتُ كَاتِبًا فَقَرَأْتُهُ فَإِذَا فِيهِ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ صَاحِبَكَ قَدْ جَفَاكَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْكَ اللَّهُ بِدَارِ هَوَانٍ وَلاَ مَضْيَعَةٍ فَالْحَقْ بِنَا نُوَاسِكَ . قَالَ فَقُلْتُ حِينَ قَرَأْتُهَا وَهَذِهِ أَيْضًا مِنَ الْبَلاَءِ . فَتَيَامَمْتُ بِهَا التَّنُّورَ فَسَجَرْتُهَا بِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا مَضَتْ أَرْبَعُونَ مِنَ الْخَمْسِينَ وَاسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْىُ إِذَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْتِينِي فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَعْتَزِلَ امْرَأَتَكَ . قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أُطَلِّقُهَا أَمْ مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ قَالَ لاَ بَلِ اعْتَزِلْهَا فَلاَ تَقْرَبَنَّهَا - قَالَ - فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى صَاحِبَىَّ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ - قَالَ - فَقُلْتُ لاِمْرَأَتِي الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ فَكُونِي عِنْدَهُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ فِي هَذَا الأَمْرِ - قَالَ - فَجَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ هِلاَلِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هِلاَلَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ شَيْخٌ ضَائِعٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ خَادِمٌ فَهَلْ تَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَخْدُمَهُ قَالَ " لاَ وَلَكِنْ لاَ يَقْرَبَنَّكِ " . فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا بِهِ حَرَكَةٌ إِلَى شَىْءٍ وَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَالَ يَبْكِي مُنْذُ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا كَانَ إِلَى يَوْمِهِ هَذَا . قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِي لَوِ اسْتَأْذَنْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي امْرَأَتِكَ فَقَدْ أَذِنَ لاِمْرَأَةِ هِلاَلِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ أَنْ تَخْدُمَهُ - قَالَ - فَقُلْتُ لاَ أَسْتَأْذِنُ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَا يُدْرِينِي مَاذَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فِيهَا وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ - قَالَ - فَلَبِثْتُ بِذَلِكَ عَشْرَ لَيَالٍ فَكَمُلَ لَنَا خَمْسُونَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ حِينَ نُهِيَ عَنْ كَلاَمِنَا - قَالَ - ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ صَلاَةَ الْفَجْرِ صَبَاحَ خَمْسِينَ لَيْلَةً عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِنَا فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنَّا قَدْ ضَاقَتْ عَلَىَّ نَفْسِي وَضَاقَتْ عَلَىَّ الأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ صَارِخٍ أَوْفَى عَلَى سَلْعٍ يَقُولُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ يَا كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَبْشِرْ -

Ibn Shihab reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made an expedition to Tabuk and he (the Holy Prophet) had in his mind (the idea of threatening the) Christians of Arabia in Syria and those of Rome. Ibn Shihab (further) reported that 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Abdullah b. Ka'b informed him that Abdullah b. Ka'b who served as the guide of Ka'b b. 'Malik as he became blind that he heard Ka'b b. Malik narrate the story of his remaining behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from the Battle of Tabuk. Ka'b b. Malik said:I never remained behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from any expedition which he undertook except the Battle of Tabuk and that of the Battle of Badr. So far as the Battle of Badr is concerned, nobody was blamed for remaining behind as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the Muslims (did not set out for attack but for waylaying) the caravan of the Quraish, but it was Allah Who made them confront their enemies without their intention (to do so). I had the honour to be with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the night of 'Aqaba when we pledged our allegiance to Islam and it was more dear to me than my participation in the Battle of Badr, although Badr was more popular amongst people as compared with that (Tabuk). And this is my story of remaining back from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk. Never did I possess means enough and (my circumstances) more favourable than at the occasion of this expedition. And, by Allah, I had never before this expedition simultaneously in my possession two rides. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out for this expedition in extremely hot season; the journey was long and the land (which he and his army had to cover) was waterless and he had to confront a large army, so he informed the Muslims about the actual situation (they had to face), so that they should adequately equip themselves for this expedition, and he also told them the destination where he intended to go. And the Muslims who accompanied Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at that time were large in numbers but there was no proper record of them. Ka'b (further) said: Few were the persons who wanted to absent themselves, and were under the impression that they could easily conceal themselves (and thus remain undetected) until revelations from Allah, the Exalted and Glorious (descended in connection with them). And Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out on an expedition when the fruits were ripe and their shadows had been lengthened. I had weakness for them and it was during this season that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made preparations and the Muslims too along with them. I also set out in the morning so that I should make preparations along with them but I came back and did nothing and said to myself: I have means enough (to make preparations) as soon as I like. And I went on doing this (postponing my preparations) until people were about to depart and it was in the morning that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out and the Muslims too along with him, but I made no preparations. I went early in the morning and came back, but I made no decision. I continued to do so until they (the Muslims) hastened and covered a good deal of distance. I also made up my mind to march on and to meet them. Would that I had done that but perhaps it was not destined for me. After the departure of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as I went out amongst people, I was shocked to find that I did not find anyone like me but people who were labelled as hypocrites or the people whom Allah granted exemption because of their incapacity and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took no notice of me until he had reached Tabuk. (One day as he was sitting amongst the people in Tabuk) he said: What has happened to Ka'b b. Malik? A person from Banu' Salama said: Allah's Messenger, the (beauty) of his cloak and his appreciation of his sides have allured him and he was thus detained. Mua'dh b. Jabal said: Woe be upon that what you contend. Allah's Messenger, by Allah, we know nothing about him but good. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), however, kept quiet. It was during that time that he (the Holy Prophet) saw a person (dressed in all white (garment) shattering the illusion of eye (mirage). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: May he be Abu Khaithama and, lo, it was Abu Khaithama al-Ansari and he was that person who contributed a sa' of dates and was scoffed at by the hypocrites. Ka'b b. Malik farther said: When this news reached me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was on his way back from Tabuk I was greatly perturbed. I thought of fabricating false stories and asked myself how I would save myself from his anger on the following day. In this connection, I sought the help of every prudent man from amongst the members of my family and when it was said to me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was about to arrive, all the false ideas banished (from my mind) and I came to the conclusion that nothing could save me but the telling of truth, so I decided to speak the truth and it was in the morning that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived (in Medina). And it was his habit that as he came back from a journey he first went to the mosque and observed two Rak'ahs of nafl prayer (as a mark of gratitude) and then sat amongst people. And as he did that, those who had remained behind him began to put forward their excuses and take an oath before him and they were more than eighty persons. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) accepted their excuses on the very face of them and accepted their allegiance and sought forgiveness for them and left their secret (intentions) to Allah, until I presented myself to him. I greeted him and he smiled and there was a tinge of anger in that. He (the Holy Prophet) then said to me: Come forward. I went forward until I sat in front of him. He said to me: What kept you back? Could you not afford to go in for a ride? I said: Allah's Messenger, by Allah, if I were to sit in the presence of anybody else from amongst the worldly people I would have definitely saved myself from his anger on one pretext (or the other) and I have also the knack to fall into argumentation, but, by Allah, I am fully aware of the fact that if I were to put forward before you a false excuse to please you Allah would definitely provoke your wrath upon me, and if I speak the truth you may be annoyed with me, but I hope that Allah would make its end well and, by Allah, there is no valid excuse for me. By Allah, I never possessed so good means, and I never had such favourable conditions for me as I had when I stayed behind you (failed to join the expedition). Thereupon, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: This man told the truth, so get up until Allah gives a decision in your case. I stood up and some people of Banu' Salama followed me in hot haste, and they said to me: By Allah, we do not know about you that you committed a sin prior to this. You, however, showed inability to put forward an excuse before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as those who stayed behind him have put forward excuses. It would have been enough for the forgiveness of your sin that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would have sought forgiveness for you. By Allah, they continued to incite me until I thought of going back to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and contradict myself. Then I said to them: Has anyone else also met the same fate? They said: Yes, two persons have met the same fate as has fallen to you and they have made the sane statement as you have made, and the same verdict has been delivered in their case as it has been delivered in your case. I said: Who are they? They said: Murara b. ar-Rabi'a 'Amiri and Hilal b. Umayya al-Waqafi. They made a mention of these two pious persons to me who had participated in the Battle of Badr and there was an example for me in them. I went away when they named these two persons. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the Nluslims to talk with three of us from amongst those (persons) who had stayed behind him. The people began to avoid us and their attitude towards us underwent a change and it seemed as if the whole atmosphere had turned (hostile) against us and it was in fact the same atmosphere ot which I was fully aware and in which I had lived (for a fairly long time). We spent fifty nights in this very state and my two friends confined themselves withen their houses and spent (most of the) time in weeping, but as I was young and strong amongst them I got (out of my house), participated in congregational prayers, moved about in the bazar; but none spoke to me. I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he sat amongst (people) after the prayer, greeted him and asked myself whether his lips stirred in response to my greetings (or not). Then I observed prayer beside him and looked at him with stealing glances and when I attended to my prayer, he looked at me and when I cast a glance at him he turned away his eyes from me. And when the harsh treatment of the Muslims towards me extended to a (considerable) length of time, I walked until I climbed upon the wall of the garden of Abu Qatada, and he was my cousin, and I had the greatest love for him. I greeted him but, by Allah, he did not respond to my greetings. I said to him: Abu Qatada, I adjure you by Allah, arn't you well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) the most. He kept quiet. I again repeated saying: I adjure you by Allah. arn't you well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) the most. He kept quiet. I again adjured him, whereupon he said: Allah and the Messenger (ﷺ) are best aware of it. My eyes began to shed tears and I came back climbing down from the wall and as I was walking in the bazar of Medina a Nabatean from amongst the Nabateans of Syria, who had come to sell foodgrains in Medina, asked people to direct him to Ka'b b. Malik. People gave him the indication by pointing towards me. He came to me and delivered to me a letter of the King of Ghassan and as I was a scribe I read that letter and it was written like this:" Coming to my point, it has been conveyed to us that your friend (the Holy Prophet) is subjecting you to cruelty and Allah has not created you for a place where you are to be degraded and where you cannot find your right place, so you come to us that we should accord you honour. As I read that letter I said: This is also a calamity, so I burnt it in the oven. When out of the fifty days, forty days had passed and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) received no revelation, there came the messenger of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to me and said: Verily, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has commanded you to remain separate from your wife. I said: Should I divorce her or what (else) should I do? He said: No, but only remain separate from her and don't have sexual contact with her. The same message was sent to my companions. So I said to my wife: You better go to your parents and stay there with them until Allah gives the decision in my case. The wife of Hilal b. Umayya came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, Hilal b. Umayya is a senile person, he has no servant. Do you disapprove of my serving him? He said: No, but don't go near him. She said: By Allah, he has no such instinct in him. By Allah, he spends his time in weeping from that day to this day. Some of the members of my family said to me: Were you to seek permission from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in regard to your wife as he has granted permission to the wife of Hilal b. Umayya to serve him. I said: I would not seek permission from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), for I cannot say what Allah's Apostle may say in response to seeking my permission. Moreover, I am a young man. It was in this state that I spent ten more nights and thus fifty nights had passed that (people) had observed boycott with us. It was on the morning of the fiftieth night that I observed my dawn prayer and was sitting on one of the roofs of our houses. And I was in fact sitting in that very state which Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has described about us in these words:" Life had become hard for myself and the earth had compressed despite its vastness," that I heard the noise of an announcer from the peak of the hill of Sal' saying at the top of his voice: Ka'b b. Malik, there is glad tidings for you. I fell down in prostration and came to realise that there was (a message of) relief for me. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had informed the people of the acceptance of our repentance by Allah as he offered the dawn prayer. So the people went on to give us glad tidings and some of them went to my friends in order to give them the glad tidings and a person galloped his horse and came from the tribe of Aslam and his horse reached me more quickly than his voice. And when he came to me whose sound I heard, he gave me the glad tidings. I took off my clothes and clothed him with them because of his bringing good news to me and, by Allah, I possessed nothing else (in the form of clothes) than these two on that occasion, and I asked one to lend me two clothes and dressed myself in them. I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and on my way I met groups of people who greeted me because of (the acceptance of) repentance and they said: Here is a greeting for you for your repentance being accepted by Allah. (I moved on) until I came to the mosque and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had been sitting there amongst persons. So Talha b. 'Ubaidullah got up and rushed towards me and he shook hands with me and greeted me and, by Allah, no person stood up (to greet me) from amongst the emigrants except he. Ka'b said that he never forgot (this good gesture of) Talha. Ka'b further said: I greeted Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with Assalam-o-'Alaikam and his face was glistening because of delight, and he said: Let there be glad tidings and blessings for you, the like of which (you have neither found nor you will find, as you find today) since your mother gave your birth. I said: Allah's Messenger. is this acceptance of repentance from you or from Allah? He said: No, (it is not from ma), it is from Allah, and it was common with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that as he was happy his face brightened up and it looked like a part of the moon and it was from this that we recognised it (his delight). As I sat before him, I said: Allah's Messenger, am I allowed to give in charity my wealth for Allah's sake and for the sake of His Messenger (ﷺ)? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Keep some property with you as it is better for you. I said: I shall keep with me that part (of my property) which fell to my lot (on the occasion of the expedition of) Khaibar. I said: Allah's Messenger, verily, Allah has granted me salvation because of truth and, therefore, (I think) that repentance implies that I should not speak anything but truth as long as I live. He said: By Allah, I do not know whether anyone amongst the Muslims was put to more severe trial than I by Allah because of telling the truth. And since I made a mention of this to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) up to this day I have not told any lie and, by Allah, I have decided not to tell a lie and I hope that Allah would save me (from trials) for the rest of my life and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed these verses:" Certainly, Allah has turned in Mercy to the Prophet and the emigrants and the helpers who followed him in the hour of hardship after the hearts of a part of them were about to deviate; then He turned to them in mercy. Surely, to them He is Compassionate, Merciful and (He turned in Mercy) to the three who were left behind until the earth despite its vastness became strait for them and their souls were also straitened to them." And this revelation reached up to the (words):" O you who believe, develop God consciousness, and be with the truthful" (ix. 117-118). Ka'b said: By Allah, since Allah directed me to Islam there has been no blessing more significant for me than this truth of mine which I spoke to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and if I were to tell a lie I would have been ruined as were ruined those who told lies, for in regard to those who told lies Allah used harshest words used for anyone as He descended revelation (and the words of Allah are):" They will swear by Allah to you when you return to them so that you may leave them alone. So leave them alone. Surely, they are unclean and their resort is Hell, recompense for what they earned. They will swear to you that you may be pleased with them but if you are pleased with them, yet surely Allah is not pleased with the transgressing people" (ix. 95-96). K'ab said that the matter of us three persons was deferred as compared with those who took an oath in the presence of Allahs Messenger (ﷺ) and he accepted their allegiance and sought forgiveness for them and Allah did not give any decision in regard to us. It was Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, Who gave decisions in our case, three who remained behind. (The words of the Qur'an)" the three who were left behind" do not mean that we remained back from Jihad but these imply that He kept our matter behind them who took oath and presented excuse before Him. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters

(قال الزهري): سعيد بن. المسيب، عروة ب. الزبير، علقمة ب. وقاص، وعبيد الله ب. عبد الله ب. عتبة ب. روى مسعود عن عائشة رضي الله عنها، زوجة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، أنه لما قال لها المفترون ما قالوه، وبرأها الله من تهمهم، جاءني جميع الرواة بجزء من حديثها. وكان بعضهم أحفظ حديثها من بعض، فكانت روايته أصح. فحفظت الحديث الذي روته لي عن كل واحد منهم. وتؤيد الأحاديث بعضها بعضًا. وبحسب ما قالته عائشة رضي الله عنها، زوجة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، قالت: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا أراد أن يخرج في غزوة، كان يقرع بين نسائه، فمن وقعت عليها القرعة خرج معها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. وقالت: لقد قرعت بيننا في غزوة كانت ستخوضها، فوقعت عليّ القرعة، فخرجت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. وكان ذلك بعد نزول آية الحجاب. كنتُ راكبةً على الجمل داخل هودجي، ونزلتُ منه عند وصولنا. ولما انتهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من حملته وعاد، وكنا نقترب من المدينة، أعلن عن مسيرة ليلية. فلما أعلن المسيرة، نهضتُ على الفور وسرتُ، حتى أنني سبقتُ الجيش. ولما قضيتُ حاجتي، ذهبتُ إلى أغراضي. لمستُ صدري فرأيتُ أن قلادتي المصنوعة من حبات الزعفران قد انقطعت. فالتفتُّ على الفور وبحثتُ عنها. وقد منعني البحث عنها من المضيّ. أما المجموعة التي حمّلت سرجي فقد حمّلت هودجي وانصرفت. وحمّلته على الجمل الذي كنتُ راكبةً عليه. ظنّوا أنني بداخله أيضًا. قال: في ذلك الوقت، كانت النساء ذوات بشرة فاتحة. لم يكنّ قد سمنّ، ولم تكن أجسادهنّ مغطاة باللحم. كنّ يأكلن القليل من الطعام. حمّل الجمع الهودج على الجمل ورفعوها دون أن يسألوا عن وزنها. كنتُ فتاةً صغيرةً رقيقة. طار الجمل بعيدًا. وجدتُ قلادتي بعد رحيل الجيش. ثم وصلتُ إلى المكان الذي كانوا فيه، فلم أجد أحدًا يناديني أو يجيبني. عدتُ إلى مكاني، ظنًا مني أن الجماعة ستبحث عني وتعود. وبينما كنتُ جالسة، شعرتُ بالنعاس وغفوت. استراح صفوان بن معطل السلام لاحقًا خلف جيش زكوان. وفي نهاية الليل، انطلق في الطريق، وقضى الليلة حيث كنتُ، فرأى خيال شخص نائم. فأتى إليّ على الفور وعرفني؛ بل إنه رآني قبل أن يُفرض عليّ ارتداء الحجاب. ولما عرفني، استيقظتُ على استرجائه. وغطيتُ وجهي على الفور بحجابي. والله، لم ينطق بكلمة. لم أسمع منه شيئًا سوى استرجائه. ثم أنزل جمله، وداس على رجله الأمامية، فركبتُ الجمل. وقادني على جملي وانطلقنا. وأخيرًا، لحقنا بالجيش بعد أن خيّموا حين اشتدّ حرّ الظهيرة. حينها، كان ما قُدّر لي قد تمّ. تولّى عبد الله بن أبيّ بن سلول معظم هذه المهمة. بعد ذلك، وصلنا إلى المدينة المنورة. ولما وصلنا، كنت مريضًا لمدة شهر. كان الناس ينشرون كلام المُفترين. لم أشعر بشيء من ذلك. لكن خلال مرضي، أثار شكوكي عدم رؤيتي نفس اللطف من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الذي رأيته من قبل حين كنت مريضًا. كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يدخل، يُسلّم، ثم يقول: [يقول شيئًا]. وهذا أيضًا أثار شكوكي. لكنني لم أشعر بأي ضغينة. أخيرًا، بعد أن شفيت، خرجت. وذهبت معي أم مسته إلى مناسي. كان هذا المكان مرحاضنا. كنا نخرج فقط في الليل. حدث هذا قبل أن نبني المراحيض قرب بيوتنا. كانت عادتنا في المراحيض عادة العرب الأوائل، وكنا نجد صعوبة في بنائها بجوار بيوتنا. مشينا أنا وأم مسته، وهي ابنة أبي رم بن مطلب بن عبدي مناف، وأمها ابنة سحر بن عامر، عمة أبي بكر الصديق. وابن أم مسته هو مسته بن أساسة بن عباد بن مطلفة. وبعد أن قضينا أنا وبنت أبي رم حاجتنا، توجهنا نحو بيتي. فدست أم مسته على نقابها وقالت: "لعنة مسته!" فقلت لها: "يا لكِ من امرأة عظيمة! أتلعنين رجلاً كان في بدر؟" فقالت: "يا امرأة، ألم تسمعي ما قاله؟" فسألتها: "ماذا قال؟" فأخبرتني بما قاله المفترون، فازداد مرضي سوءًا. عندما عدتُ إلى المنزل، دخل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وسلم عليّ، ثم سألني: "أتأذنين لي بالذهاب إلى والديّ؟" فقلت: "أردتُ في تلك اللحظة أن أفهم الخبر منهما جيدًا". فأذن لي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فذهبتُ إلى والديّ وقلتُ لأمي: "يا أمي! ما يقول الناس؟" فقالت أمي: "يا ابنتي، اهدئي! والله، ما أقلّ امرأة جميلة متزوجة من رجل يحبها، وإن كان لها أزواج، إلا وتكلمت عليهم بسوء". فقلت: "سبحان الله! هل يقول الناس هذا حقًا؟" ثم بكيتُ تلك الليلة، وقضيتُها أبكي بلا انقطاع، ولم أنم. ثم قضيتُها أبكي مرة أخرى. ولما انقطع الوحي، دعا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم علي بن أبي طالب وأسامة بن زيد ليستشيراه في أمر فراق أهله. قال أسامة بن زيد، مُظهِرًا معرفته ببراءة أهله ومحبته لهم، لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «يا رسول الله، هؤلاء أهلك، لا نعلم إلا الخير». أما علي بن أبي طالب فقال: «لن يُصيبك الله بضيق، فهناك نساء كثيرات غيرها، ولو سألت الجارية لصدقتك». عندئذٍ دعا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بريرة وسأله: «بريرة، هل رأيت في عائشة ما يُثير الشك فيك؟» فقال له بريرة: «والله الذي بعثك بالحق، ما رأيت فيه ما أُعيبه، ولكنه شاب يافع، ينام على عجينه الذي يعجنه لأهله، وتأتي الغنم فتأكله». عندئذٍ، قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وصعد المنبر، طالباً الاعتذار من عبد الله بن أبي بن سلول. قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها: "بينما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم على المنبر، قال: يا أيها المسلمون! من يقبل اعتذاري من رجل ألحق بأهلي أشد الأذى؟ والله، ما أعلم بأهلي إلا خيراً، إنما دخل عليهم معي." فقام سعد بن معاذ الأنصاري وقال: "أنا أقبل اعتذارك منه يا رسول الله!" فإن كان من قبيلة الأوس، قطعنا عنقه. قال: "إن كان من إخواننا الخزرج، فأصدر الأمر وسنطيعه". ثم قام سعد بن عبادة، وكان شيخ الخزرج ورجلاً صالحاً، إلا أن حماسته أضلته. فقال لسعد بن معاذ: "لقد أخطأت! والله لا تستطيع قتله، ولا أنت قادر على قتله!". ثم قام أسيد بن حضير، وكان ابن عم سعد بن معاذ. فقال لسعد بن عبادة: "لقد أخطأت! والله لا بد أن نقتله. إنك منافق حقاً". «أنتم تقاتلون في سبيل المنافقين». فثارت القبيلتان (الأوس والخزرج)، بل وعزمتا على القتال. وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واقفًا على المنبر، يُهدئهما حتى سكتتا، فسكت هو أيضًا. قالت عائشة: «بكيتُ ذلك اليوم، ولم تتوقف دموعي، ولم أستطع النوم. ثم بكيتُ في الليلة التالية، ولم تتوقف دموعي، ولم أستطع النوم. ظنّ والداي أن بكائي سيُفطر قلبي. وبينما كانا جالسين بجانبي وأنا أبكي، استأذنت امرأة من الأنصار بالدخول، فأذنتُ لها. فجلست المرأة وبدأت تبكي. وبينما كنا على هذه الحال، دخل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وسلم علينا، ثم جلس. لم يكن قد جلس بجانبي منذ أن قيل ما قيل عني، فقد انتظر شهرًا ولم يُوحَ إليه شيء عني». لما جلس رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، تشهد. ثم قال: يا عائشة، إن الأمر هو أنكِ قد أتيتني بتهم كذا وكذا. فإن كنتِ بريئة، برأكِ الله. وإن كنتِ قد ارتكبتِ ذنبًا، فاستغفري الله! توبي إليه! فإن العبد إذا اعترف بذنبه ثم تاب، قبل الله توبته. قالت عائشة: لما فرغ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من الكلام، انقطعت دموعي، ولم أشعر بقطرة واحدة. فقلت لأبي: أجب عني فيما قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم! فقال أبي: والله، ما أدري ما أقول لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. ثم قلت لأمي: «أجيبيني عما قاله رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم!» فقلت: «والله ما أدري ما أقول لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم». فقلت، مع أنني كنت صغيرًا لا أعرف الكثير من القرآن: «والله أعلم أنكِ سمعتِ ما قيل، بل ترسخ في حصونكِ وآمنتِ به. ولو قلت لكِ إني بريء - والله يعلم براءتي - لما صدقتني. ولو اعترفت لكِ بشيء - والله يعلم براءتي - لأثبتِ لي. والله ما أجد لكِ مثلاً أضربه لكِ. ولكن كما قال أبو يوسف، فإن أمري من صبر جميل. والله هو الذي يُستعان به فيما قلت». فقال: «ثم انقلبتُ على فراشي». والله، علمتُ في تلك اللحظة أنني بريئة وأن الله سيبرئني. ولكن والله، لم يخطر ببالي أن ينزل الوحي (القرآن) في شأني. لم تكن حالتي النفسية وتوقعاتي توحي بأن الله (جل جلاله وعظمته) سينزل آية عني. بل كنتُ أتوقع أن يرى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) رؤيا في منامه، وأن الله سيبرئني من خلالها. والله، لم يكن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) قد غادر مجلسه، ولم يخرج أحد من أهل البيت حين أنزل الله (جل جلاله وعظمته) الوحي على نبيه (صلى الله عليه وسلم). فعادت إليه تلك الشدة التي غمرته لحظة الوحي. ومن ثقل الكلمات التي أُنزلت عليه، انهمرت حبات العرق من جبينه في ذلك اليوم البارد. ولما انقضى الوحي، ابتسم رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم). وكانت أولى كلماته: "يا عائشة! قال لي الله: «لقد برأك». فقالت لي أمي: «قم واذهب إليه». فقلت: «والله لا أستطيع الذهاب إليه، ولا أستطيع أن أمدح أحدًا غير الله! فهو الذي أنزل براءتي». فأنزل الله تعالى عشر آيات، بدءًا من سورة النور، الآية 11. هذه الآيات أنزلها الله تعالى بشأن براءتي. فقال أبو بكر، الذي كان ينفق على مستة لقرابتهما وفقرهما: «والله، بعد ما قاله عن عائشة، لن أعطيه شيئًا بعد الآن!». فأنزل الله تعالى الآية: «ولا يحلف أهل البيت والمال على أن لا ينصروا أهل القربى...» حتى الآية الكريمة: «ألا تحبون أن يغفر الله لكم؟». قال ابن موسى: «عبد الله بن...» قال مبارك: "هذه أكثر الآيات رجاءً في كتاب الله". قال بكر: "والله، ليغفر لي الله"، ثم عاد يُطعم مسته كما كان يُطعمه سابقًا، قائلاً: "لن أتوقف عن إطعامه أبدًا". قال: "سأل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم زوجته زينب بنت جحش عن أمري، فقال: هل كنتِ تعلمين أم ماذا رأيتِ؟ فأجابت: يا رسول الله، إني أحفظ أذني وعيني، والله ما أعلم إلا خيرًا". قال: "ومع ذلك، كانت هي التي تحدتني من زوجات النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فحفظها الله بالتقوى والصلاح. فبدأت أختها حنينة بنت جحش تُخاصمها، فماتت مع الذين هلكوا". قال: "هذا ما جاءنا من أمر هذه الأمة!". وفي الحديث، استخدم التعبير التالي: "أغضبه حماسه..."
Hibban b. Musa narrated to us. (He said): Abdullah b. Mubarak informed us. (He said): Yunus b. Yazid al-Ayli informed us. Ishaq b. Ibrahim al-Hanzali, Muhammad b. Rafi', and Abd b. Humayd also narrated. (Ibn Rafi' used the expression "haddesena"; the others said: Abd al-Razzaq informed us. He said): Ma'mar informed us. The context is the hadith of Ma'mar from the narration of Abd and Ibn Rafi'. Yunus and Ma'mar both said from Zuhri. (Zuhri said): Sa'id b. Musayyib, Urwa b. Zubayr, Alkama b. Waqqas, and Ubaydullah b. Abdillah b. Utba b. Mas'ud narrated from Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that when the slanderers said what they said to her, and Allah cleared her of their accusations, all the narrators reported to me a part of her hadith. Some of them had memorized her hadith better than others, and its narration was more reliable. I memorized the hadith she narrated to me from each of them. The hadiths corroborate each other. According to what she said, Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to go on an expedition, he would draw lots among his wives. Whoever the lot fell upon, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would go on the expedition with her. She said: She drew lots among us for a battle she was going to undertake, and the lot fell upon me. I also went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This happened after the verse about veiling was revealed. I was mounted on the camel inside my palanquin, and dismounted from it at our destination. Finally, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his campaign and returned, and we were approaching Medina, he announced a night march. When he announced the march, I immediately got up and walked, even overtaking the army. When I relieved myself, I went to my belongings. I touched my chest and saw that my necklace, made of saffron beads, had broken. I immediately turned back and searched for my necklace. Searching for it kept me from going. The group that had loaded my saddle had loaded my palanquin and gone. They loaded it onto the camel I was riding. They thought I was inside it too. He said: At that time, women were light-skinned. They hadn't become fat, their bodies weren't covered in flesh. They were only eating a tiny bit of food. The congregation loaded the palanquins onto the camel and lifted them without questioning the weight. I was a young, tender girl. They drove the camel away. I found my necklace after the army had left. Then I arrived at the place where they were, only to find no one calling out to me or answering. I went back to where I was, thinking the congregation would look for me and return. While sitting there, I felt sleepy and fell asleep. Safwan ibn Mu'attal al-Sulam later rested behind the army of Zakwan. At the end of the night, he set out on the road, spent the night where I was, and saw a shadow of a sleeping person. He immediately came to me and recognized me; indeed, he had seen me before the obligation of wearing a veil was imposed upon me. When he recognized me, I woke up with his istirja (prayer for protection). And I immediately covered my face with my veil. By Allah, he didn't speak a word to me. I heard nothing from him except his istirja. He made his camel kneel down; he stepped on its front leg, and I mounted the camel. And he led me on my camel and we set off. Finally, we caught up with the army after they had encamped when the midday heat became intense. By then, what was destined for me was done. Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul had taken on the majority of this task. Subsequently, we arrived in Medina. When we arrived in Medina, I was ill for a month. The people were spreading the slanderers' words. I didn't feel anything from this. But during my illness, the fact that I didn't see the same kindness from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that I had seen before when I was ill made me suspicious. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would only enter, give greetings, and then say: [He would say something]. This also made me suspicious. But I didn't feel any malice. Finally, after I recovered, I went outside. Umm Mistah also went with me towards Manasi. This place was our latrine. We only went out at night. This incident happened before we built toilets near our houses. Our custom regarding latrines was the custom of the early Arabs. We felt inconvenienced building toilets next to our houses. Umm Mistah and I walked. This woman is the daughter of Abu Ruhm b. Muttalib b. Abdi Menaf. Her mother is the daughter of Sahr b. Amir, the aunt of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq. Umm Mistah's son is Mistah b. Usasa b. Abbad b. Muttalifa. Then, after I and Bint Abu Ruhm relieved ourselves, we headed towards my house. Then Umm Mistah stepped on her veil and said: "May Mistah be cursed!" I said to her: "What a terrible thing you said! Are you cursing a man who was at Badr?" She said: "Woman, didn't you hear what he said?" I asked: "What did he say?" Upon this, he informed me of what the slanderers had said. And my illness worsened manifold. When I returned home, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered and greeted me. Then he asked, "Will you allow me to go to my parents?" I said, "At that moment, I wanted to understand the news from them properly." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me permission. So I went to my parents and said to my mother, "O my mother! What are people saying?" My mother said, "O my daughter, be calm! By Allah, there are very few beautiful women who are married to a man who loves them, even if they have partners, yet they do not speak ill of them." I said, "Subhanallah! Did people really say that?" Then I cried that night. I spent the night crying without my eyes stopping and without sleep. Then I spent the night crying again. When the revelation ceased, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Ali ibn Abi Talib and Usama ibn Zayd to consult with him about separating from his family. Usama ibn Zayd, indicating that he knew of his family's innocence and showing his affection for them, said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! They are your family. We know nothing but good." As for Ali ibn Abi Talib, he said: "Allah will not put you in distress; there are many other women besides her. If you ask the slave girl, she will tell you the truth." Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Barira and asked: "Barira! Have you seen anything about Aisha that would cause you to have doubts?" Berira said to him: "I swear by Allah, who sent you with the truth, I have not seen anything in him that I could fault him for. However, he is a young man, a mere youth. He sleeps on the dough he kneads for his family, and sheep come and eat it." Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rose and ascended the pulpit, seeking an apology from Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salul. Aisha said: "While the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on the pulpit, he said: 'O community of Muslims! Who will accept my apology from a man who has caused the utmost harm to my family? By Allah, I know nothing but good about my family. He only entered their presence with me.'" Upon this, Sa'd ibn Mu'adh al-Ansari stood up and said: "I will accept your apology from him, O Messenger of Allah!" If he is from the Aws tribe, we will cut off his neck. If he is from our brothers Khazraj, you give the order, and we will obey your command," he said. Then Sa'd ibn Ubadah rose. This man was the chief of the Khazraj tribe and a good man. However, his zeal had made him ignorant. He said to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh: "You have erred! I swear by Allah that you cannot kill him, nor are you capable of killing him!" Then Usayd ibn Hudayr rose. This man was Sa'd ibn Mu'adh's cousin. He said to Sa'd ibn Ubadah: "You have erred! I swear by Allah that we will certainly kill him. You are truly a hypocrite. You are fighting on behalf of the hypocrites." And the two tribes (i.e., Aws and Khazraj) rose up. They even intended to fight. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing on the pulpit. He continued to soothe them, until they fell silent. He too fell silent. Aisha said: "I cried that day. My tears did not stop, and I could not sleep. Then I cried again the next night. My tears did not stop, and I could not sleep. My mother and father thought that my crying would tear my heart apart. While they were sitting beside me and I was crying, a woman from the Ansar asked permission to enter. I gave her permission. The woman sat down and began to cry. While we were in this state, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered and greeted us. Then he sat down. He had not sat beside me since what had been said about me had been said. He had waited a month, and nothing had been revealed to him about me. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down, he recited the tashahhud." Then he said: "O Aisha, the situation is that such and such accusations have come to me from you. If you are innocent, Allah will acquit you. If you have committed a sin, seek forgiveness from Allah! Repent to Him! For if a servant confesses a sin and then repents, Allah accepts his repentance." Aisha said: "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished speaking, my tears stopped. I didn't even feel a single drop anymore. I said to my father: 'Answer on my behalf about what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said!' My father said: 'By Allah, I don't know what to say to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).' (Then) I said to my mother: 'Answer on my behalf about what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said!'" I said, and he replied, "By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Thereupon, although I was young and did not know much of the Qur'an, I said, "By Allah, I understand well that you have heard what has been said. It has even taken root in your fortresses, and you have believed it. If I were to say to you that I am innocent—and Allah knows that I am innocent—you would not believe me. If I were to confess to you something—and Allah knows that I am innocent—you would affirm me. By Allah, I cannot find an example for you to give. However, as Joseph's father said, my matter is one of beautiful patience. Allah is the One to whom help is sought regarding what you have said." He said, "Then I turned over and lay down on my bed. And by Allah, I knew at that moment that I was innocent and that Allah would acquit me. But by Allah, I did not think that the revelation (of the Qur'an) would be sent down concerning me." My state of mind and expectations were not such that Allah (Glorified and Exalted) would send down a verse about me. Rather, I expected that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would have a dream in his sleep, and that through that dream, Allah would acquit me. By Allah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had not left his assembly; no one from the household had gone outside when Allah (Glorified and Exalted) sent down revelation to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The intensity that had overwhelmed him at the moment of revelation returned. From the weight of the words revealed to him, pearls of sweat poured from his forehead on that cold day. When the state of revelation ended, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled. His first words were: "O Aisha! Allah has acquitted you." Upon this, my mother said to me: "Get up and go to him." I said: "By Allah, I cannot go to him. I cannot praise anyone other than Allah! It is He who has sent down my innocence." Then Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) revealed ten verses, starting from Surah An-Nur, verse 11. These verses were revealed by Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) concerning my innocence. Abu Bakr—who used to provide for Mistah due to their kinship and poverty—said: "By Allah, after what he said about Aisha, I will never give him anything again!" Thereupon, Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) revealed the verse, "Let not those who are of high status and wealth swear that they will not help their relatives..." up to the noble verse, "Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you?" Ibn Musa said: "Abdullah b. Mubarak said, "This is the most hopeful verse in the Book of Allah." Bakr said, "By Allah, I wish Allah would forgive me," and he resumed giving Mistah the sustenance he had previously given him, saying, "I will never stop giving it to him." He said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked his wife, Zaynab bint Jahsh, about my matter, saying, 'Did you know (or) what did you see?' She replied, 'O Messenger of Allah! I protect my ears and my eyes. By Allah, I know nothing but good.' He said, 'Yet, she was the one among the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who challenged me. Allah protected her with piety and righteousness.' Her sister, Hanina bint Jahsh, began to contend with her, and she perished among those who perished." He said, "This is what came to us from the matter of this community!" And in the hadith, he used the expression, "His zeal angered him..."

Sa'id b. Musayyib, 'Urwa b. Zubair, 'Alqama b. Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah b. Abdullah b. 'Utba b. Mas'ud--all of them reported the story of the false allegation against 'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ). And they (the slanderers) said what they had to say, but Allah exonerated her of this charge and all of them reported a part of the hadith and some of them who had better memories reported more and with better retention, and I tried to retain this hadith (listening) from every one of them that they reported to me and some of them attested the other. (The sumaried substance of the false allegation is this):'A'isha said: Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intended to set out on a journey he cast lots amongst his wives and he took one with him in whose favour the lot was cast. It so happened that he cast lots amongst us while setting out on a battle and it was cast in my favour, so I set out along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). This relates to the period when the revelation concerning the commands of veil had been made. I was carried in a haudaj and I was brought down where we had to stay. In short, when we set out for return journey from the expedition and our caravan was near Medina, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded one night to march forward. I also got up when the command for the march was given and moved on until I went out of the encampments of the army and after relieving myself I came to my place. I touched my chest and found that my necklace which had been made of the stones of zafar had been broken. I retraced my steps and tried to search my necklace and this detained me there. The group of people who saddled my ride and placed my haudaj carrying me upon the camels marched on. They were under the impression that I was in it. The women in those days were light of weight and they did not wear much flesh, as they ate less food; so they did not perceive the weight of my haudaj as they placed it upon the camel as I was a young girl at that time. So they drove the camel and Eet out and I found my necklace after the army had marched. I came to my place and there was none to call and none to respond (the call). I waited at my place under the impression that when the people would riot find me they would come back. So I kept sitting at my place. I was overpowered by sleep and slept. Safwan b. Mu'attal Sulami Dhakwini, who had lagged behind the army because of taking rest came to my place walking in the latter part of the night and he saw the body of a person who was asleep. He came to me and recognised me as he had seen rue before it was enjoined to observe purda. I got ap by his voice as he recited Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un [we are for Allah and to Him we have to return. ] and I covered my head with my headdress. By Allah, he did not speak to me a word and I did not hear a word from him except Inna lillahi. He made his camel kneel down and I amounted the camel as he pressed tLe camel's foreleg and he moved on leaning the camel by the nose string on which I was riding until we came to the army where it had encamped for rest because of extreme heat. Woe be upon those who harboured doubts about me and the most notorious among them was 'Abdullah b. Ubayy, the great hypocrite. We came to Medina and I fell sick for a month. The people had been deliberating over the statements of those who had brought these calumnies against me. I was absolutely unaware of anything concerning that. This, however, caused doubt in my mind that I did not see Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him.) treating me with such kindness with which he treated me as I fell ill before this. The Prophet (ﷺ) would coome and greet me with Assalam-o-'Alaikum and only ask me how I was. This caused doubt in my mind, but I was unaware of the evil. I wept outside despite my failing health and there went along with me Umm Mistah and she said the daughter of Abu Rhm b. Muttalib b. 'Abd Manaf and his mother was the daughter of Sakhr b. 'Amir, the sister of the mother of Abu Bakr Sidiq and his son was Mistah b. Uthatha b. 'Abbad b. Muttalib. I and the daughter of Abu Rahm set towards the direction of my house. Something got into the head dress of Umm Mistah and she said: Woe be upon Mistah. And I said. Woe be upon what you say. Do you curse people who had participated in Badr? She said: Innocent woman, have you not heard what he said? I said: What did he say? She conveyed to me the statement of those who had brought false allegations against me. So my illness was aggravated. I went to my house and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me and he greeted me and then said: How is that woman? I said: Do you permit me to go to the (house) of my parents? She (further) said: I had at that time made up my mind to confirm this news from them. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) permitted me. So I came to (the house of) my parents and said to my mother: Mother, do you know what the people are talking about? She said: My daughter, you should not worry. By Allah, if there is a handsome woman who is loved by her husband and he has co-wives also they talk many a thing about her. I said: Hallowed be Allah, what are the people talking about? I wept during the whole night until it was morning and I did not have a wink of sleep and I wept even in the morning. As the revelation was delayed (in regard to this matter), so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called 'Ali ibn Abi 'Talib and Usama b. Zaid in order to seek their advice in regard to the separation of his wife. Usama b. Zaid told Allah's Messenger (may peace be apen him) about the innocence of his wives and what he knew about his love for them. He said: Allah's Messenger, they are your wives and we know nothing else about them but goodness. And as for 'Ali b. Abu Talib, he said: Allah has not put any unnecessary burden upon you (in regard to your wives). There are a number of women besides her and if you ask that maidservant (Barira) she will tell you the truth. So, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called Bailra and said: Barira, did you see anything in 'A'isha which can cause doubt about her? Barira said: By Him Who sent thee with the truth, I have seen nothing objectionable in her but only this much that she is a young girl and she goes to sleep while kneading the flour and the lamb eats that. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) mounted the pulpit and sought vindication against 'Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul, and he further said: Who would exonerate me from imputations of that person who has troubled (me) in regard to my family? By Allah, I find nothing in my wife but goodness and the person whom the people have mentioned in this connection is, according to my knowledge, a thoroughly pious person, and he did never get into my house but along with me. Sa'd b. Mu'adh stood up and said: Allah's Messenger, I defend your honour against him. If he belong to the tribe of Aus we would strike his neck and if he belongs to the tribe of our brother Khazraj and you order us we would comply with your order. Then Sa'd b. 'Ubada stood up. He was chief of the Khazraj tribe. He was otherwise a pioas man but he had some what tribal partisanship in him and he said to Sa'd b. Mu'adh: By the everlasting existence of Allah. you are not stating the fact, you will not be able to kill him and you will not have the power to do so. Thereupon, Usaid b. Hudair stood up, and he was the first cousin of Sa'd b. Mu'adh and said to Sa'd b. 'Ubada: By the everlasting existence of Allah, you are not stating the fact. We would kill him. You are a hypocrite and so you argue in defence of the hypocrites, and thus both the tribes Aus and Khazraj were flared up, until they were about to fall upon one another and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept standing upon the pulpit and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) tried to subside their anger until they became silent and thus there was silence. 'A'isha further reported: I spent the whole day in weeping and even the night and could not have a wink of sleep even next night. My parents thought that this constant weeping of mine would break my heart. I wept and they sat beside me. In the meanwhile a woman of the Ansar came to see me. I permitted her to see me and she also began to weep. And we were in this very state that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came and he greeted me and then sat down. He had never sat with me since a month when this rumour was afloat, and there was no revelation (to clarity) my case. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited Tashahhud (there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostle) and then said: Coming to the point, 'A'isha, this is what has reached me about you and if you are innocent, Allah would Himself vindicate your honour, and if accidentally there has been a lapse on your part seek forgiveness of Allah; He will pardon thee for when a servant makes a confession of his fault and turns (to Him) penitently, Allah also turns to him (mercifully) accepting his repentance. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) talked, my tears dried up and not even a single drop of tear was perceived by me (rolling out of my eyes). I said to my father: You give a reply to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf. He said: By Allah, I do not know what I should say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I then said to my mother: Give a reply to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf, but she said: By Allah, I do not know what I should say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I was a small girl at that time and I had not read much of the Qur'an (but I said): By Allah, I perceive that you have heard about this and it has settled down in your mind and you have taken it to be true, so if I say to you that I am quite innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you would never believe me to be true, and if I confess to (the alleged) lapse before you, whereas Allah knows that I am completely innocent (and I have not committed this sin at all), in that case You will take me to be true and, by Allah, I, therefore, find no other alternative for me and for you except that what the father of Yousuf said:, (My course is) comely patience. And Allah it is Whose help is to be sought for in that (predicament) which ye describe" (xii 18). After this I turned my face to the other side and lay down on my bed. By Allah, I was fully aware of this fact that I was innocent but I did not expect that Allah would descend Wahy Matlu (Qur'anic Wahy) in my case as I did not think myself so much important that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, would speak in this matter in words to be recited. I only hoped that Allah would in vision give an indication of my innocence to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) during his sleep. And, by Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not moved an inch from where he had been sitting and none from the members of my family had gone that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, descended revelation upon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) there and then and he felt the burden which he used to feel at the time of receiving revelation. He began to perspire because of the burden of words of Allah as they descended upon him even during the winter season and there fell the drops of his sweat like silvery beads. When this state of receiving revelation was over, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiled and the first words which he spoke to me were that he said: 'A'isha, there is glad tidings for you. Verily, Allah has vindicated your honour, and my mother who had been standing by me said: Get up (and thank him, i. e. the Holy Prophet). I said: By Allah, I shall not thank him and laud him but Allah Who has descended revelation vindicating my honour. She ('A'isha) said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed:" 'Verily, those who spread the slander are a gang among you" (and) ten (subsequent) verses in regard to my innocence. She further said: Abu Bakr used to give to Mistah (some stipend) as a token of kinship with him and for his poverty and he (Abu Bakr) said: By Allah, now I would not spend anything for him. 'A'isha said: It was upon this that Allah the Exalted and Glorious revealed this verse:" And let not those who possess dignity and ease among you swear to give to the near of the kin" up to" Yearn ye not that Allah may forgive you?" Hibban b. Musa' said that 'Abdullah b. Mubarak used to say: It is a verse contained in the Book which most (eminently) brightens the hope. Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I wish that Allah should pardon me. I shall never stop this stipend. So he continued to give him the stipend which he had withdrawn. 'A'isha said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Zainab, daughter of Jahsh, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), about me what she knew or what she had seen in me, and she said: Allah's Messenger, I shall not say anything without hearing (with my ears) and seeing with my eyes. By Allah, I find nothing in her but goodness. (And she stated this in spite of the fact) that she was the only lady who amongst the wives of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) used to vie with me but Allah saved her in bringing false allegation against me because of her God-consciousness. Her sister Hamna bint Jahsh, however, opposed her and she was undone along with others

Masruq reported:We were sitting in the company of Abdullah and he was lying on the bed that a person came and said: Abd Abd al-Rabmin, a story-teller at the gates of Kinda says that the verse (of the Qur'an) which deals with the" smoke" implies that which is about to come and it would hold the breath of the infidels and would inflict the believers with cold. Thereupon Abdullah got up and said in anger. O people, fear Allah and say only that which one knows amongst you and do not say which he does not know and he should simply say: Allah has the best knowledge for He has the best knowledge amongst all of you. It does not behove him to say that which he does not know. Allah has the best knowledge of it. Verily Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said to His Prophet (ﷺ) to state:" I do not ask from you any remuneration and I am not the one to put you in trouble," and when Allah's Mesqenger (ﷺ) saw people turning back (from religion) he said: O Allah, afflict thern with seven famines as was done in the case of Yusuf, so they were afflicted with famine by which they were forced to eat everything until they were obliged to eat the hides and the dead bodies because of hunger, and every one of them looked towards the sky and he found a smoke. And Abu Sufyan came and he said: Muhammad, you have come to command us to obey Allah and cement the ties of blood- relation whereas your people are undone; supplicate Allah for tlicm. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said:" Wait for the day when there would be clear smoke from the sky which would envelop people and that would be grievous torivent" up to the words:" you are going to return to (evil)." (if this verse implied the torment of the next life) could the chastisement of the next (life) be averted (as the Qur'an states): On the day when We seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We shall exact retribution" (xliv. 16)? The seizing (in the hadith) implies that of the Day of Badr. And so far as the sign of smoke, seizing, inevitability and signs of Rome are concern- ed, they have become things of the past now

Nafi' reported that Ibn 'Umar met Ibn Si'id on some of the paths of Medina and he said to him a word which enraged him and he was so much swollen with anger that the way was blocked.

Nafi' reported that Ibn 'Umar said:I met lbn Sayyad twice and said to some of them (his friends): You state that it was he (the Dajjal). He said: By Allah, it is not so. I said: You have not told me the truth; by Allah some of you informed me that he would not die until he would have the largest number of offspring and huge wealth and it is he about whom it is thought so. Then Ibn Sayyad talked to us. I then departed and met him again for the second time and his eye had been swollen. I said: What has happened to your eye? He said: I do not know. I said: This is in your head and you do not know about it? He said: If Allah so wills He can create it (eye) in your staff. He then produced a sound like the braying of a donkey. Some of my companions thought that I had struck him with the staff as he was with me that the staff broke into pieces, but, by Allah, I was not conscious of it. He then came to the Mother of the Faithful (Hafsa) and narrated it to her and she said: What concern you have with him? Don't you know that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said that the first thing (by the incitement of which) he would come out before the public would be his anger?

Amir b. Sharahil Sha'bi Sha'b Hamdan reported that he asked Fatima, daughter of Qais and sister of ad-Dahhak b. Qais and she was the first amongst the emigrant women:Narrate to me a hadith which you had heard directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and there is no extra link in between them. She said: Very well, if you like, I am prepared to do that, and he said to her: Well, do It and narrate that to me. She said: I married the son of Mughira and he was a chosen young man of Quraish at that time, but he fell as a martyr in the first Jihad (fighting) on the side of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). When I became a widow, 'Abd al-Rahman b. Auf, one amongst the group of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), sent me the proposal of marriage. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also sent me such a message for his freed slave Usama b. Zaid. And it had been conveyed to me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had said (about Usama): He who loves me should also love Usama. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) talked to me (about this matter), I said: My affairs are in your hand. You may marry me to anyone whom you like. He said: You better shift now to the house of Umm Sharik, and Umm Sharik was a rich lady from amongst the Ansar. She spent generously for the cause of Allah and entertained guests very hospitably. I said: Well, I will do as you like. He said: Do not do that for Umm Sharik is a woman who is very frequently visited by guests and I do not like that your head may be uncovered or the cloth may be removed from your shank and the strangers may catch sight of them which you abhor. You better shift to the house of your cousin 'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. Umm Maktum and he is a person of the Bani Fihr branch of the Quraish, and he belonged to that tribe (to which Fatima) belonged. So I shifted to that house, and when my period of waiting was over, I heard the voice of an announcer making an announcement that the prayer would be observed in the mosque (where) congregational prayer (is observed). So I set out towards that mosque and observed prayer along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and I was in the row of the women which was near the row of men. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had finished his prayer, he sat on the pulpit smiling and said: Every worshipper should keep sitting at his place. He then said: Do you know why I had asked you to assemble? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: By Allah. I have not made you assemble for exhortation or for a warning, but I have detained you here, for Tamim Dari, a Christian, who came and accepted Islam, told me something, which agrees with what I was telling, you about the Dajjal. He narrated to me that he had sailed in a ship along with thirty men of Bani Lakhm and Bani Judham and had been tossed by waves in the ocean for a month. Then these (waves) took them (near) the land within the ocean (island) at the time of sunset. They sat in a small side-boat and entered that island. There was a beast with long thick hair (and because of these) they could not distinguish his face from his back. They said: Woe to you, who can you be? Thereupon it said: I am al-Jassasa. They said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: O people, go to this person in the monastery as he is very much eager to know about you. He (the narrator) said: When it named a person for us we were afraid of it lest it should be a devil. Then we hurriedly went on till we came to that monastery and found a well-built person there with his hands tied to his neck and having iron shackles between his two legs up to the ankles. We said: Woe be upon thee, who are you? And he said: You would soon come to know about me. but tell me who are you. We said: We are people from Arabia and we embarked upon a boat but the sea-waves had been driving us for one month and they brought as near this island. We got Into the side-boats and entered this island and here a beast met us with profusely thick hair and because of the thickness of his hair his face could not be distinguished from his back. We said: Woe be to thee, who are you? It said: I am al- Jassasa. We said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: You go to this very person in the monastery for he is eagerly waiting for you to know about you. So we came to you in hot haste fearing that that might be the Devil. He (that chained person) said: Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baisan. We said: About what aspect of theirs do you seek information? He said: I ask you whether these trees bear fruit or not. We said: yes. Thereupon he said: I think these would not bear fruits. He said: Inform me about the lake of Tabariyya? We said: Which aspect of it do you want to know? He said: Is there water in it? They said: There is abundance of water in it. Thereupon he said: I think it would soon become dry. He again said: Inform me about the spring of Zughar. They said: Which aspect of it you want to know? He (the chained person) said: Is there water in it and does it irrigate (the land)? We said to him: Yes, there is abundance of water in it and the inhabitants (of Medina) irrigate (land) with the help of it, He said: Inform me about the unlettered Prophet; what has he done? We said: He has come out from Mecca and has settled In Yathrib (Medina). He said: Do the Arabs fight against him? We said: Yes. He said: How did he deal with them? We informed him that he had overcome those in his neighbourhood and they had submitted themselves before him. Thereupon he said to us: Has it actually happened? We said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If it is so that is better for them that they should show obedience to him. I am going to tell you about myself and I am Dajjal and would be soon permitted to get out and so I shall get out and travel in the land, and will not spare any town where I would not stay for forty nights except Mecca and Medina as these two (places) are prohibited (areas) for me and I would not make an attempt to enter any one of these two. An angel with a sword in his hand would confront me and would bar my way and there would be angels to guard every passage leading to it; then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) striking the pulpit with the help of the end of his staff said: This implies Taiba meaning Medina. Have I not, told you an account (of the Dajjal) like this? 'The people said: Yes, and this account narrated by Tamim Dari was liked by me for it corroborates the account which I gave to you in regard to him (Dajjal) at Medina and Mecca. Behold he (Dajjal) is in the Syrian sea (Mediterranean) or the Yemen sea (Arabian sea). Nay, on the contrary, he is in the east, he is in the east, he is in the east, and he pointed with his hand towards the east. I (Fatima bint Qais) said: I preserved it in my mind (this narration from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)

عَنْهُ " . قَالَ فَخَشَعْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ " أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُعْرِضَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ " . قَالَ فَخَشَعْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ " أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُعْرِضَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ " . قُلْنَا لاَ أَيُّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ يُصَلِّي فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ فَلاَ يَبْصُقَنَّ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ تَحْتَ رِجْلِهِ الْيُسْرَى فَإِنْ عَجِلَتْ بِهِ بَادِرَةٌ فَلْيَقُلْ بِثَوْبِهِ هَكَذَا " . ثُمَّ طَوَى ثَوْبَهُ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ " أَرُونِي عَبِيرًا " . فَقَامَ فَتًى مِنَ الْحَىِّ يَشْتَدُّ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَجَاءَ بِخَلُوقٍ فِي رَاحَتِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْعُرْجُونِ ثُمَّ لَطَخَ بِهِ عَلَى أَثَرِ النُّخَامَةِ . فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ جَعَلْتُمُ الْخَلُوقَ فِي مَسَاجِدِكُمْ . سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَزْوَةِ بَطْنِ بُوَاطٍ وَهُوَ يَطْلُبُ الْمَجْدِيَّ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْجُهَنِيَّ وَكَانَ النَّاضِحُ يَعْتَقِبُهُ مِنَّا الْخَمْسَةُ وَالسِّتَّةُ وَالسَّبْعَةُ فَدَارَتْ عُقْبَةُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَلَى نَاضِحٍ لَهُ فَأَنَاخَهُ فَرَكِبَهُ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُ فَتَلَدَّنَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضَ التَّلَدُّنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ شَأْ لَعَنَكَ اللَّهُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ هَذَا اللاَّعِنُ بَعِيرَهُ " . قَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " انْزِلْ عَنْهُ فَلاَ تَصْحَبْنَا بِمَلْعُونٍ لاَ تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلاَ تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَوْلاَدِكُمْ وَلاَ تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَمْوَالِكُمْ لاَ تُوَافِقُوا مِنَ اللَّهِ سَاعَةً يُسْأَلُ فِيهَا عَطَاءٌ فَيَسْتَجِيبُ لَكُمْ " . سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ عُشَيْشِيَةٌ وَدَنَوْنَا مَاءً مِنْ مِيَاهِ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَتَقَدَّمُنَا فَيَمْدُرُ الْحَوْضَ فَيَشْرَبُ وَيَسْقِينَا " . قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَىُّ رَجُلٍ مَعَ جَابِرٍ " . فَقَامَ جَبَّارُ بْنُ صَخْرٍ فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الْبِئْرِ فَنَزَعْنَا فِي الْحَوْضِ سَجْلاً أَوْ سَجْلَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَدَرْنَاهُ ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَا فِيهِ حَتَّى أَفْهَقْنَاهُ فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ طَالِعٍ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " أَتَأْذَنَانِ " . قُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . فَأَشْرَعَ نَاقَتَهُ فَشَرِبَتْ شَنَقَ لَهَا فَشَجَتْ فَبَالَتْ ثُمَّ عَدَلَ بِهَا فَأَنَاخَهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى الْحَوْضِ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ مِنْ مُتَوَضَّإِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَهَبَ جَبَّارُ بْنُ صَخْرٍ يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِيُصَلِّيَ وَكَانَتْ عَلَىَّ بُرْدَةٌ ذَهَبْتُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهَا فَلَمْ تَبْلُغْ لِي وَكَانَتْ لَهَا ذَبَاذِبُ فَنَكَّسْتُهَا ثُمَّ خَالَفْتُ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهَا ثُمَّ تَوَاقَصْتُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ جِئْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَدَارَنِي حَتَّى أَقَامَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ جَبَّارُ بْنُ صَخْرٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَامَ عَنْ يَسَارِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِيَدَيْنَا جَمِيعًا فَدَفَعَنَا حَتَّى أَقَامَنَا خَلْفَهُ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَرْمُقُنِي وَأَنَا لاَ أَشْعُرُ ثُمَّ فَطِنْتُ بِهِ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ يَعْنِي شُدَّ وَسَطَكَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يَا جَابِرُ " . قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " إِذَا كَانَ وَاسِعًا فَخَالِفْ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهِ وَإِذَا كَانَ ضَيِّقًا فَاشْدُدْهُ عَلَى حِقْوِكَ " . سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَانَ قُوتُ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ تَمْرَةً فَكَانَ يَمَصُّهَا ثُمَّ يَصُرُّهَا فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَكُنَّا نَخْتَبِطُ بِقِسِيِّنَا وَنَأْكُلُ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا فَأُقْسِمُ أُخْطِئَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يَوْمًا فَانْطَلَقْنَا بِهِ نَنْعَشُهُ فَشَهِدْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطَهَا فَأُعْطِيَهَا فَقَامَ فَأَخَذَهَا . سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا وَادِيًا أَفْيَحَ فَذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ بِإِدَاوَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا يَسْتَتِرُ بِهِ فَإِذَا شَجَرَتَانِ بِشَاطِئِ الْوَادِي فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى إِحْدَاهُمَا فَأَخَذَ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا فَقَالَ " انْقَادِي عَلَىَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ " . فَانْقَادَتْ مَعَهُ كَالْبَعِيرِ الْمَخْشُوشِ الَّذِي يُصَانِعُ قَائِدَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الشَّجَرَةَ الأُخْرَى فَأَخَذَ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا فَقَالَ " انْقَادِي عَلَىَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ " . فَانْقَادَتْ مَعَهُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِالْمَنْصَفِ مِمَّا بَيْنَهُمَا لأَمَ بَيْنَهُمَا - يَعْنِي جَمَعَهُمَا - فَقَالَ " الْتَئِمَا عَلَىَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ " . فَالْتَأَمَتَا قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَخَرَجْتُ أُحْضِرُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُحِسَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِقُرْبِي فَيَبْتَعِدَ - وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ فَيَتَبَعَّدَ - فَجَلَسْتُ أُحَدِّثُ نَفْسِي فَحَانَتْ مِنِّي لَفْتَةٌ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُقْبِلاً وَإِذَا الشَّجَرَتَانِ قَدِ افْتَرَقَتَا فَقَامَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى سَاقٍ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَفَ وَقْفَةً فَقَالَ بِرَأْسِهِ هَكَذَا - وَأَشَارَ أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ بِرَأْسِهِ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً - ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَىَّ قَالَ " يَا جَابِرُ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ مَقَامِي " . قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ فَاقْطَعْ مِنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا غُصْنًا فَأَقْبِلْ بِهِمَا حَتَّى إِذَا قُمْتَ مَقَامِي فَأَرْسِلْ غُصْنًا عَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَغُصْنًا عَنْ يَسَارِكَ " . قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَقُمْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ حَجَرًا فَكَسَرْتُهُ وَحَسَرْتُهُ فَانْذَلَقَ لِي فَأَتَيْتُ الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ فَقَطَعْتُ مِنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا غُصْنًا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْتُ أَجُرُّهُمَا حَتَّى قُمْتُ مَقَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرْسَلْتُ غُصْنًا عَنْ يَمِينِي وَغُصْنًا عَنْ يَسَارِي ثُمَّ لَحِقْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَعَمَّ ذَاكَ قَالَ " إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِقَبْرَيْنِ يُعَذَّبَانِ فَأَحْبَبْتُ بِشَفَاعَتِي أَنْ يُرَفَّهَ عَنْهُمَا مَا دَامَ الْغُصْنَانِ رَطْبَيْنِ " . قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَا الْعَسْكَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَا جَابِرُ نَادِ بِوَضُوءٍ " . فَقُلْتُ أَلاَ وَضُوءَ أَلاَ وَضُوءَ أَلاَ وَضُوءَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ فِي الرَّكْبِ مِنْ قَطْرَةٍ وَكَانَ َجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يُبَرِّدُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَاءَ فِي أَشْجَابٍ لَهُ عَلَى حِمَارَةٍ مِنْ جَرِيدٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِيَ " انْطَلِقْ إِلَى فُلاَنِ بْنِ فُلاَنٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ فَانْظُرْ هَلْ فِي أَشْجَابِهِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ " . قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَنَظَرْتُ فِيهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهَا إِلاَّ قَطْرَةً فِي عَزْلاَءِ شَجْبٍ مِنْهَا لَوْ أَنِّي أُفْرِغُهُ لَشَرِبَهُ يَابِسُهُ . فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهَا إِلاَّ قَطْرَةً فِي عَزْلاَءِ شَجْبٍ مِنْهَا لَوْ أَنِّي أُفْرِغُهُ لَشَرِبَهُ يَابِسُهُ قَالَ " اذْهَبْ فَأْتِنِي بِهِ " . فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ بِيَدِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَىْءٍ لاَ أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ وَيَغْمِزُهُ بِيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَعْطَانِيهِ فَقَالَ " يَا جَابِرُ نَادِ بِجَفْنَةٍ " . فَقُلْتُ يَا جَفْنَةَ الرَّكْبِ . فَأُتِيتُ بِهَا تُحْمَلُ فَوَضَعْتُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِيَدِهِ فِي الْجَفْنَةِ هَكَذَا فَبَسَطَهَا وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَهَا فِي قَعْرِ الْجَفْنَةِ وَقَالَ " خُذْ يَا جَابِرُ فَصُبَّ عَلَىَّ وَقُلْ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ " . فَصَبَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقُلْتُ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ . فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَتَفَوَّرُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ فَارَتِ الْجَفْنَةُ وَدَارَتْ حَتَّى امْتَلأَتْ فَقَالَ " يَا جَابِرُ نَادِ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ بِمَاءٍ " . قَالَ فَأَتَى النَّاسُ فَاسْتَقَوْا حَتَّى رَوَوْا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَفْنَةِ وَهِيَ مَلأَى . وَشَكَا النَّاسُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْجُوعَ فَقَالَ " عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يُطْعِمَكُمْ " . فَأَتَيْنَا سِيفَ الْبَحْرِ فَزَخَرَ الْبَحْرُ زَخْرَةً فَأَلْقَى دَابَّةً فَأَوْرَيْنَا عَلَى شِقِّهَا النَّارَ فَاطَّبَخْنَا وَاشْتَوَيْنَا وَأَكَلْنَا حَتَّى شَبِعْنَا . قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَدَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَفُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ حَتَّى عَدَّ خَمْسَةً فِي حِجَاجِ عَيْنِهَا مَا يَرَانَا أَحَدٌ حَتَّى خَرَجْنَا فَأَخَذْنَا ضِلَعًا مِنْ أَضْلاَعِهِ فَقَوَّسْنَاهُ ثُمَّ دَعَوْنَا بِأَعْظَمِ رَجُلٍ فِي الرَّكْبِ وَأَعْظَمِ جَمَلٍ فِي الرَّكْبِ وَأَعْظَمِ كِفْلٍ فِي الرَّكْبِ فَدَخَلَ تَحْتَهُ مَا يُطَأْطِئُ رَأْسَهُ .
Ubadah b. Walid b. Samit reported:I and my father set out in search of knowledge to a tribe of the Ansar before their death (i. e. before the Companions of the Prophet left the world) and I was the first to meet Abu Yasar, a Companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and there was a young man with him who carried the record of letters with him and there was a mantle prepared by the tribe of Ma'afiri upon him. And his servant too had a Ma'afiri mantle over him. My father said to him: My uncle, I see the signs of anger or that of agony on your face. He said: Yes, such and such person, the son of so and so, of the tribe of Harami owed me a debt. I went to his family, extended salutations and said: Where is he? They said: He is not here. Then came out to me his son who was at the threshold of his youth. I said to him: Where is your father? He said: No sooner did he hear your sound than he hid himself behind my mother's bedstead. I said to him: Walk out to me, for I know where you are. He came out. I said to him: What prompted you to hide yourself from me? He said: By God, whatever I would say to you would not be a lie. By Allah, I fear that I should tell a lie to you and in case of making promise with you I should break it, as you are the Companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). The fact is that I was hard up in regard to money. I said: Do you adjure by Allah? He said: I adjure by Allah. I said: Do you adjure by Allah? He said: I adjure by Allah. I said: Do you adjure by Allah? He said: I adjure by Allah. Then he brought his promissory note and he wrote off (the debt) with his hand and said: Make payment when you find yourself solvent enough to pay me back; if you are not, then there is no liability upon you. These two eyes of mine saw, and he (Abu'I-Yasar) placed his fingers upon his eyes and these two ears of mine heard and my heart retained, and he pointed towards his heart that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He who gives time to one who is financially hard up (in the payment of debt) or writes off his debt, Allah will provide him His shadow. I said to him: My uncle, if you get the cloak of your servant and you give him your two clothes, or take his two clothes of Ma'afir and give him your cloak, then there would be one dress for you and one for him. He wiped my head and said: O Allah, bless the son of my brother. O, son of my brother, these two very eyes of mine saw and these two ears of mine listened to and this heart of mine retained this, and he pointed towards the heart that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Feed them (the servants) and clothe them (the servants) what you wear, and if I give him the goods of the world, it is easy for me than this that he should take my virtues on the Day of Resurrection. We went on till we came to Jabir b. Abdullah in the mosque and he was busy in observing prayer in one cloth which he had joined at its opposite ends. I made my way through the people till I sat between him and the Qibla and I said: May Allah have mercy upon you. Do you observe prayer with one cloth on your body whereas your mantle is lying at your side? He pointed me with his hand towards my breast just like this and he separated his fingers and bent them in the shape of a bow. And (he said): I thought that a fool like you should come to me so that he should see me as I do and he should then also do like it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to us in this very mosque and he had in his hand the twig of the palm-tree and he saw mucus towards the Qibla of the mosque and he erased it with the help of the twig. He then came to us and said: Who amongst you likes that Allah should turn His face away from him? We were afraid. He then again said: Who amongst you likes that Allah should turn His face away from him? We were afraid. He again said: Who amongst you likes that Allah should turn His face away from him? We said: Allah's Messenger, none of us likes it. And he said: If one amongst you stands for prayer, Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, is before him he should not spit in front of him, or on his right side, but should spit on his left side beneath his left foot and if he is impelled to do so all of a sudden (in spite of himself) he should then spit in his cloth and fold it in some part of it. (and he further said: ) Bring some sweet-smelling thing. A young man who belonged to our tribe stood up, went and brought scent in his palm. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took that and applied it to the end of that twig and then touched the place where there had been mucus. Jabir said: This is why you should apply scent to your mosques. It is reported on the same authority: We set out along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on an expedition of Batn Buwat. He (the Holy Prophet) was in search of al-Majdi b. 'Amr al-Juhani. (We had so meagre equipment) that five. six or seven of us had one camel to ride and so we mounted it turn by turn. Once there wan. the turn of an Ansari to ride upon the camel. He made it kneel down to ride over it (and after having. mounted it), he tried to raise it up but it hesitated. So he said. May there be curse of Allah upon you! Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Who is there to curse his camel? He said: Allah's Messenger, it' is I. Thereupon he said: Get down from the camel and let us not have in our company the cursed one. Don't curse your own selves, nor your children. nor your belongings. There is the possibility that your curse may synchronies with the time when Allah is about to confer upon you what you demand and thus your prayer may be readily responded. It is reported on the same authority: We set out on an expedition along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) until it was evening, and we had been near a. water reservoir of Arabia. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Who would be the person who would go ahead and set right the reservoir and drink water himself and serve us with it? Jabir said: I stood up and said: Allah's Messenger, it is I who am ready to do that. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Who is the person to accompany Jabir? And then Jabbar b. Sakhr stood up. So we went to that well and poured in that tank a bucket or two of water and plastered it with clay and then began to fill it (with water) until it was filled to the brim. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was the first who appeared before us, and he said: Do you (both) permit me to drink water out of it? We said: Yea, Allah's Messenger. He led his camel to drink water and it drank. He then pulled its rein and it stretched its legs and began to urinate. He then took it aside and made it kneel down at another place and then came to the tank and performed ablution. I then got up and performed ablution like the ablution of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and Jabbar b. Sakhr went in order to relieve himself and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up to observe prayer and there was a mantle over me. I tried to invert its ends but it was too short (to cover my body easily). It had its borders. I then inverted it (the mantle) and drew its opposite ends and then tied them at my neck. I then came and stood upon the left side of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He caught hold of me and made me go round behind him, until he made me stand on his right side. Then Jabbar b. Sakhr came. He performed ablution and then came and stood on the left side of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) caught hold of our hands together, pushed us back and made us stand behind him. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) began to look upon me with darting looks, but I did not perceive that. After that I became aware of it and he pointed with the gesture of his hand that I should wrap my loin-cloth. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had finished the prayer, he said: Jabir! I said: Allah's Messenger, at thy beck and call. He said: When the cloth around you is inadequate, then tie the opposite ends but when it is small, tie it over the lower body. Jabir reported: We set out on an expedition with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the only means of sustenance for every person amongst us was only one date for a day and we used to chew it. And we struck the leaves with the help of our bow and ate them until the sides of our mouths were injured. It so happened one day that a person was overlooked and not given a date. We carried that person and bore witness to the fact that he had not been given that date so he was offered that and he got up and received that. Jabir reported: We set out on an expedition along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) until we got down at a spacious valley and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to relieve himself. I followed him with a bucket full of water and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) looked about and he found no privacy but two trees at the end of the valley and Allah's Messenger (may. peace be upon him) went to one of them and took hold of one of its twigs and said: Be thou under my control by the permission of Allah, and so it came under his control like the camel who has its nosestring in the hand of its rider, and then he came to the second tree and took hold of a twig and said: Be thou under my control with the permission of Allah, and it came under his control, and when he came in the middle of the two trees he joined together the two twigs and said: join with the permission of Allah. Jabir said: I was afraid lest Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) should be aware of my nearness and go still farther. And Muhammad b. Abbad has used the word" faitab'd" and I began to talk to myself. And as I saw, I suddenly found Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) before me and the two trees were separated and each one of them was standing at its place. I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) standing for a short time, nodding his head towards right and left. Isma'il pointed towards the right and left with the help of his head (in order to demonstrate how the Prophet had pointed). Then he (the Holy Prophet) came to me and said: Jabir did you see my place where I was standing? I said: Allah's Messenger, yes. He then said: Then you should go to those two trees and cut a twig from each of them and go to that place with them where I was standing and stand there where I was standing and place a twig on the right and a twig on the left. Jabir said: I set out and took hold of a stone and broke it and sharpened it and then I came to those trees and cut a twig from each one of them. I then came dragging them until I stood at the place where Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had been standing and placed a twig on the right and a twig on the left. Then I met him and said: Allah's Messenger, I have done that, but (kindly) explain to me the reason for it. Thereupon he said: I passed by two graves the occupants of which had been undergoing torment. I liked to make intercession for them so that the might be relieved of this torment y as long as these twigs remain fresh. Jabir said: We came back to the (camp of the) army and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Jabir, call people for per- forming wudu. I cried: Come and perform wudu, come and perform wudu, come and perform wudu. I said: Allah's Messenger, there is not even a drop of water in the army camp, and there. was a person who used to cool the water for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the old water-skin which kept hanging by the twig. He asked me to go to such and such Ansari and ask him to see if there was any water in that skin. I went to him and cast a glance in it but did not find anything but a drop in the mouth of that water-skin and if I were to draw that, the water-skin's,. dried part would suck it up. I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, I have not found anything in it but a drop of water in the mouth of the water-skin and now if I were to draw that, it would be absorbed. He said: Go and bring that to me. I brought that to him. He took hold of it -and began to utter something which I could not understand and then pressed it with his hand and gave that to me and said: Jabir, announce for the tub to be brought. So I announced that the tub of the army (be brought). It was brought accordingly and I placed it before him (the Holy Prophet). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) placed his hands in the tub like this: with his fingers stretched out, and then he placed his fingers at the bottom of the tub and said: Jabir, take it (that waters-skin) and pour water over me, by reciting Bismillah, and I poured water and I said: Bismillah, and found water sprouting out between the fingers of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then that tub gushed forth until it was filled up and the Messenger (ﷺ) said: Jabir, make an announcement to the effect: He who needs water should take that. Jabir said: The people came and got water until they were all satiated. I said: Is there anyone left who wants to get it? And Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then lifted up his hand from that tub and it was still full. Then the people made a complaint to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about hunger and he said: May Allah provide you food! We came to the bank of the ocean and the ocean was tossing and it threw out a big animal and we lit fire and cooked it and took it until we had eaten to our heart's content. Jabir said: I and such and such five persons entered Its socket and nobody could see us until we had come out, and we took hold of one of its ribs and twisted it into a sort of arch, then we called the tallest of the persons of the army and the hugest of the camels of the army and it had the big saddle over it, and it could easily pass through it without the rider having need to bend down

أخبرنا هارون بن معروف ومحمد بن عباد، نص الحديث متقارب، والنص التالي عن هارون، قالا: أخبرنا حاتم بن إسماعيل عن يعقوب بن مجاهد أبو حضرة عن عبادة بن الوليد بن عبادة بن الشامط قال: ذهبت أنا وأبي إلى قرية الأنصار هذه قبل وفاتهم نطلب العلم. أول من لقينا كان أبو الياسر، صاحب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ومعه مِغْلٌ، يحمل حزمة من الشراشف، وكان أبو الياسر يرتدي كفنًا معافِريًا، وكان مِغْلُه يرتدي كفنًا معافِريًا أيضًا. فقال له أبي: يا عمي، إني أرى آثار الغضب على وجهك. قال: نعم. كان فلان بن فلان مدينًا لي بدين، فذهبت إلى أهله، وسلمت عليه، ثم قلت له ما عليّ، فقال: لا. ثم خرج طفلٌ بدين، فسألته: أين والدك؟ فقال: لقد سمع صوتك. ثم دخلت أمي أريكا، فقلت لها: اخرج، فأنا أعرف مكانك. فسألتها: لماذا تختبئ مني؟ فأجابت: والله سأخبرك، لا أكذب، والله كنت أخشى أن أخبرك، ثم كذبت، ووعدتك، ثم أخلفت وعدي. أنت صديق رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وأنا بالله في ورطة. قلت: الله. فأجاب: الله. قلت: الله. فأجاب: الله. قلت: الله. فأجاب: الله. ثم أخذ الملاءة ومسحها بيده، وقال: إن كان معك مال فسدده، وإن لم يكن معك فأنت حر. رأى بصيرتي - وضع أصابعه على عينيه - وسمعت أذني، وفهم قلبي - وأشار إلى موضع قلبه - رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «من حرر رجلاً عسيراً أو عفو عنه، استظله الله بظله». فقال: فقلت له: يا عمي، لو أخذتَ غطاء عبدك، وأخذتَ عبدك المعفي، وأخذتَ غطاءه المعفي، وألبسته غطاءك، للبستَ حليًا ولبس هو أيضًا. مسح على رأسي ثم دعا: اللهم صلِّ عليه. يا ابن أخي، إن رؤية عينيّ - وضع أصابعه على عينيه - وسمع أذنيّ - وفهم قلبي - أشار إلى موضع قلبه - رأت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «أطعموهم مما تأكلون، وألبسوهم مما تلبسون». فأعطيته متاع الدنيا، وهو أخف عليّ من أن يأخذ خيري يوم القيامة. ومضينا حتى وصلنا إلى جابر بن عبد الله في مسجده، وكان يصلي مرتدياً قميصاً ستر نفسه به. فتجاوزت الناس حتى جلست بين جابر والقبلة. فقلت له: رحمك الله، ما صلاتك بقميص واحد وشالك على جانبك؟ فأشار بيده إلى صدري هكذا - بسط أصابعه وضمها - وقال: أريد أن يأتيني أحمق مثلك ليرى ما أفعل فيقلّدني. جاءنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في مسجدنا وهو يحمل غصنًا لابن تاب، فرأى بلغمًا في اتجاه المسجد، فكشطه بالغصن، ثم التفت إلينا وسأل: «أيّكم يريد أن يُعرض الله عنه؟» قال: نحن راكعون. ثم سأل مرة أخرى: «أيّكم يريد أن يُعرض الله عنه؟» قلنا: لا يا رسول الله. فقال: «إن أحدكم إذا صلى كان الله تبارك وتعالى أمامه، فلا تبصقوا في وجهه ولا عن يمينه، بل يبصق عن يساره تحت رجله اليسرى. فإن لم يستطع حتى يسبقه ريق أو مخاط، فليفعل ذلك بثيابه هكذا» ثم طوى ثيابه فوق بعضها وقال: «أروني زيت الزعفران». ثم أسرع شاب من القبيلة إلى أهله، وجاء بيده مزيج من الزيت، فأخذه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ومسح به طرف عرق البجعة، ثم مسح به ما تبقى من البلغم. فقال جابر: هذا هو موضع تعطرون به مساجدكم. وسرنا ذات مرة مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في غزوة بواث، وكان يبحث عن المجدي بن عمرو الجهادي. وكان الجمل الذي يُسقى محرسًا بخمسة أو ستة أو سبعة رجال، فأحاط به أحد سائقي الجمال من الأنصار، وبعد ذلك حكّ الجمل، فركبه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. فمسح جمله، فبقي صامتًا، ثم قال له: حس، لعنك الله. فسأله رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من لعن الجمل؟ فأجاب: أنا يا رسول الله. قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «انزلوا، ولا تشاركوا في شيء ملعون. لا تدعوا على أنفسكم بالشر، ولا تدعوا على أولادكم بالشر، ولا تدعوا على أموالكم بالشر، ولا تطيعوا إذا استجاب الله دعاءً ثم أعطاكم إياه». مشينا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى العصر. اقتربنا من إحدى مياه الجزيرة العربية، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «من يريد أن يسبقنا ويصلح البئر، ثم يشرب ويسقينا؟» قال جابر: قمت وقلت: أنا يا رسول الله. قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «ومن مع جابر؟» قام جبار بن شهر. ذهبنا إلى البئر، ثم أخذنا دلوًا أو دلوين منها. أنزلناها ثم سحبناها حتى امتلأت بالماء. كان أول من استقبلنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فسألنا: "هل تسمحان بذلك؟" فأجبنا: نعم يا رسول الله. ثم خفض رأس جمله، فشرب، وأمسك بزمامه، فباعد جمله بين رجليه وأبول. ثم قلبه وزأر. ثم ذهب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى البئر وتوضأ. وقمت وتوضأت بما تبقى من ماء وضوء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. ثم ذهب جبار بن شهر لقضاء حاجته، وقام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ليصلي. فلبست بطانية، وأردت أن أفرشها فلم تصل. كانت للبطانية طرف، فقلبتها، ثم مددتها بين طرفيها، ثم ضغطت عليها برقبتي. ثم جئت ووقفت على يسار رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. فأخذ بيدي وأدارني ليضعني على يمينه. بعد ذلك جاء جبار بن شخر، فتوضأ ثم جاء ووقف على يسار رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم أخذ بأيدينا ووقفنا خلفه. رآني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولكني لم أشعر بذلك، ثم فهمت، فأشار بيده، وكان يقصد أن أربط وسطي. بعد الصلاة، قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "يا جابر!"، فقلت: نعم يا رسول الله. فقال: "إن كانت واسعة فابسطها بين طرفيها، وإن كانت ضيقة فاربطها فوق وسطك". وقد مشينا مرة مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وكان كل واحد منا يأكل تمرة كل يوم. مصّها ثم وضعها على ثيابه، وحرّكنا الشجرة فسقطت أوراقها، ثم أكلناها حتى آلمتنا زوايا أفواهنا. أقسم أن أحدنا فُقد ذات يوم، فذهبنا نبحث عنه ثم التقطناه. شهدنا له أنه لم يُعطَ (حصة التمر)، فأُعطيَ له. فقام وأخذها. وسرنا ذات مرة مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى توقفنا في وادٍ واسع. ذهب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لإتمام مهمته، وتبعته من الخلف حاملاً دلو ماء. نظر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حوله فلم يرَ شيئًا يستظل به. فإذا بشجرتين على حافة الوادي. فصعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى إحداهما، فأخذ غصنًا منها وقال: "انحني لي بإذن الله". انحنى الغصن معه كما ينحني الجمل الذي صنع راعيه أنفه، حتى وصل إلى شجرة أخرى، فأمسك بأحد أغصانها، وقال: "انحنِ لي بإذن الله". فانحنى الغصن أيضًا. ولما أصبح بينهما، وصلهما، وقال: "وصلا لي بإذن الله". فصارا واحدًا. قال جابر: هربت مسرعًا لأني خشيت أن يشعر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بوجودي قربه فيبتعد. قال محمد بن عباد في روايته: ابتعد، فجلست أحدث نفسي. فنظرت جانبًا، فرأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قادمًا إليّ، وإذا بالشجرتين قد نبتتا، كل واحدة منهما قائمة على عمودها. رأيتُ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واقفًا يُشير برأسه هكذا - فأشار أبو إسماعيل برأسه يمينًا وشمالًا - ثم جاء. فلما وصل إليّ، قال: يا جابر، أترى أين أنا واقف؟ قلت: نعم يا رسول الله. فقال: اذهب إلى الشجرتين واقطع غصنًا من كلٍّ منهما، ثم عد إلى حيث أنا واقف، واقطع غصنًا من يمينك وغصنًا من شمالك. قال جابر: قمتُ، ثم أخذتُ حجرًا، فكسرته، ثم شحذته حتى صار حادًا، ثم ذهبتُ إلى الشجرتين، فقطعتُ غصنًا من كلٍّ منهما، ثم رجعتُ وسحبتهما حتى وقفتُ حيث كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واقفًا. أزلت غصنًا من يميني وغصنًا آخر من يسارك، وبعد ذلك عندما قابلت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قلت: فعلت ذلك يا رسول الله، فما كان ذلك؟ قال: مررت بقبرين يُعذَّب فيهما أهلهما، فأردت بشفاعتي أن أخفف عنهما بينما الغصنان لا يزالان رطبين. «وضوء، ماء وضوء، ماء وضوء». فقلت: يا رسول الله، ما أجد قطرة ماء في القافلة. وكان رجل من الأنصار يبرد الماء لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في إنائه الذي جف على علاقاته الخشبية، فقال لي: «اذهب إلى فلان بن فلان الأنصاري وانظر هل في إنائه ماء». فذهبت إليه ونظرت في إنائه، فلم أجد إلا قطرة ماء في طرفه، لو سكبتها لجفت. ثم ذهبت إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقلت: يا رسول الله، ما أجد إلا قطرة ماء في طرف الإناء، لو سكبتها لجفت. فقال: «اذهب وأحضرها إلي». فأحضرتها فأخذها بيده، وقال كلامًا لا أدري ما هو، ثم لمسها بيديه، وبعد ذلك ناولني إياه، وقال: "يا جابر، نادِ بالإناء الكبير". فناديت: "إناء كبير يا قافلة". فأحضرته ووضعته أمام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأشار إليه بيده هكذا - بسط جابر يده ثم مد أصابعه ووضعها على قاع الإناء. وقال: "خذه يا جابر، ثم صبه عليّ وقل: بسم الله". فصببته له وقلت: بسم الله. فرأيت الماء يشع من بين أصابع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم انسكب الماء من الإناء الكبير ودار حتى امتلأ، وبعد ذلك قال: "يا جابر، نادِ من يحتاج إلى ماء". فقال جابر: "جاء الناس وشربوا حتى ارتوت". فقلت: "هل من محتاج إلى ماء؟" فقال: "رزقك الله". ثم ذهبنا إلى الشاطئ. كان المدّ عاليًا، فألقينا سمكةً وأشعلنا نارًا بجانبها، وطبخناها وشويناها، ثم أكلنا حتى شبعنا. قال جابر: أنا وفلان وفلان - وعد حتى خمسة أشخاص - دخلنا من محجر العين، ولم يرنا أحد حتى خرجنا. أخذنا أحد حاجبيه وقوّسناه، وبعد ذلك نادينا أضخم رجل في القافلة، وأضخم جمل في القافلة، وأضخم راكب خلفي في القافلة، فدخل من تحتها دون أن ينحني.
[Harun bin Ma'ruf] and [Muhammad bin Abbad] have told us, the text of the hadith is almost the same and the following text belongs to Harun, both of them said: [Hatim bin Isma'il] has told us from [Ya'qub bin Mujahid Abu Hazrah] from [Ubadah bin Al Walid bin Ubadah bin Ash Shamit] who said: My father and I went to seek knowledge in this village of the Ansar before they died. The first person we met was [Abu Al Yasar], a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he was with a slave of his, he was carrying a bundle of sheets, Abu Al Yasar was wearing a Ma'afiri blanket and his slave was also wearing a Ma'afiri blanket. My father said to him: O my uncle, indeed I see the marks of anger on your face. He said: Yes. So and so and so bin so and so owed me a debt, I went to his family, I greeted him then I said the words and he said: No. Then a pot-bellied child came out, I asked: Where is your father? He said: He heard your voice. Next my mother, Arikah, came in and I said: Come out here, I already know where you are. I asked: Why are you hiding from me? He answered: I, by Allah, will tell you, I am not lying, by Allah, I was afraid to tell you and then I lied and I promised you and then I broke it. You are a friend of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam and I, by Allah, am in trouble. I say: Allah. He answered: Allah. I say: Allah. He answered: Allah. I say: Allah. He answered: Allah. Then he took the sheet and wiped it with his hand, he said: If you have money, pay it off and if you don't have it you are free. The sight of my two eyes - he put his fingers to his eyes - the hearing of my two ears and the understanding of my heart - he pointed to the place of his heart - saw the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam saying: "Whoever suspends a difficult person or frees him from his (debt), Allah will shelter him in His shadow." He said: So I said to him: O uncle, if you took your slave's blanket, you took your ma'afiri slave, you took his ma'firi blanket and you put your blanket on him, of course you would wear jewelry and he would also wear jewelry. He rubbed my head then prayed: O Allah, bless him. O my nephew, the sight of my two eyes - he put his fingers to his eyes - the hearing of my two ears and the understanding of my heart - he pointed to the place of his heart - saw the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam saying: "Give them food from what you eat and give them clothes from what you wear, "I gave him the goods of this world which is lighter for me than him taking my goodness on the Day of Resurrection. We went until we came to [Jabir bin Abdullah] at his mosque, he was praying wearing a shirt which he had covered himself with. I stepped over people until I sat between Jabir and the Qibla. I said to him: May Allah have mercy on you, why are you praying with one shirt on and your shawl to the side? He gestured with his hand to my chest like this - he spread his fingers and curled them, he said: I want a fool like you to come to me and see what I do so that he can copy it. Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam once came to us in our mosque while he was carrying a branch belonging to Ibn Tab, he saw that there was phlegm in the direction of the mosque, then he scraped it off with the branch, after that he turned towards us and asked: "Which of you wants Allah to turn away from him?" he said: We are bowed. He asked again: "Which of you wants Allah to turn away from him?" We answered: No, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "Indeed, when one of you prays, Allah Tabaraka wa Ta'ala is in front of him, therefore do not spit towards His face or to his right, let him spit to the left, under his left foot. And if he cannot control himself until it is preceded by spit or snot, let him do it with his clothes like this" he folded his clothes one over the other then said: "Show me the za'faran oil." Then a young man from the tribe rushed to his family quickly and came with a mixture of oil in his hand, then Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam took it and smeared it on the tip of the midrib and then rubbed it on the remaining phlegm. Jabir said: That's where you give your mosques perfume. We once walked with Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam in the battle of Buwath, he was looking for Al Majdi bin Amru al Juhadi. The camel that was being given water was guarded by five, six and seven people, then one of the camel drivers from the Ansar surrounded his camel, after that the camel was rustled and then he got on. He rubbed his camel but it remained silent, then he said to his camel: Hus, may Allah curse you. Then Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam asked: "Who cursed the camel?" He answered: I am, O Messenger of Allah. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam said: "Come down, do not join in anything that is cursed. Do not pray for evil on yourself, do not pray for evil on your children, do not pray for evil on your possessions, do not obey when a prayer is answered by Allah and then He will grant it to you." We walked with Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam until the afternoon. We approached one of the Arabian waters and Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam said: "Who wants to go ahead of us and repair the well, after that he drinks and then gives us something to drink" Jabir said: I stood up and said: I am O Rasulullah. Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam said: "Who else is with Jabir?" Jabbar bin Shakhr stood up. We went to the well and then we pulled one or two buckets from the well. We lowered it and then we pulled it until it was full of water. The first person to meet us was Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam, he asked: "Do you two allow it?" We answered: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. he lowered his camel's head, his camel then drank, he held the reins and his camel spread its legs and urinated. After that he turned it around and roared it. Then the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam went to the well and performed ablution. I stood up and did my ablution using the rest of the ablution water from Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam. Jabbar bin Shakhr then went to relieve himself and the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam stood up to pray. I put on a blanket, I wanted to spread it but it didn't arrive. The blanket had an end and then turned it over, after that I stretched it between the two ends and then squeezed it with my neck. Then I came and stood on the left of Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam. He took my hand and turned me around to place me on his right. After that Jabbar bin Shakhr arrived. He performed ablution then came and stood to the left of Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam, then he took our hands and we were placed behind him. Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam saw me but I didn't feel it, after that I understood then he gestured with his hand, he meant tie your middle part. After the prayer, Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam said: "O Jabir!" I replied: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "If (the clothes) are wide, spread them between the two ends and if they are narrow, tie them above your waist." We once walked with the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam and each of us ate one date every day. He sucked it then put it on his clothes, and we moved the tree so that the leaves fell and then we ate it until the corners of our mouths hurt. I swear, someone among us went missing one day. Then we went looking for it and then we picked it up. We testified for him that he had not been given (the quota of dates) and so he was given it. He stood up and took it. We once walked with the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam until we stopped in a wide valley. Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam went to complete his mission, I followed him from behind carrying a bucket of water. Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam looked around, he saw nothing to cover. It turns out there are two trees at the edge of the valley. Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam went up to one of them then grabbed part of its branch, he said: "Bend down for me, with Allah's permission." The branch bent down with him like a camel with a nose made by its handler, until he came to another tree and grabbed one of its branches, he said: "Bend down for me, with Allah's permission." The branch also bowed. After he was in the middle between the two, he united them, he said: "Unite for me, with Allah's permission." The two of them became one. Jabir said: I ran away quickly because I was afraid that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would sense my presence near him and move away. Muhammad bin Abbad said in his narration: He moved away and then I sat talking to myself. I glanced to the side and saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was coming towards me and it turned out that the two trees had sprouted. Each of them was standing on its own pole. I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) standing and gesturing with his head like this - Abu Isma'il gestured with his head to the right and to the left - after that he came. When he arrived in front of me, he asked: "O Jabir, do you see where I am standing?" I replied: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Go to the two trees and cut a branch from each of them and bring it here. When you are where I am standing, remove one branch from your right and another branch from your left." Jabir said: I stood up then I took a stone, I broke it then I sharpened it until it was sharp, after I went to the two trees, I cut off a branch from each of the two trees. I returned and dragged them until I stood where the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam stood. I removed one branch from my right and another branch from your left, after that I When I met Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam, I said: I have done it, O Messenger of Allah, then what was that for? He answered: "I passed two graves whose (inhabitants) were being punished, with my intercession, I wanted to lighten both of them while the two branches were still wet." ablution, ablution water, water ablution." I said: O Messenger of Allah, I do not find a single drop of water in the caravan. A man from the Ansar was cooling water for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in his vessel which had dried up on the wooden hangers of the vessel, then he said to me: "Go to so-and-so bin so-and-so Al Ansari and see if there is any water in his vessel." I went to him and looked at his vessel, I did not find anything except a drop of water at the end of the vessel, if I poured it out it would certainly dry up. After that I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I did not find anything except a drop of water at the end of the vessel, if I poured it out it would certainly dry up. He said: "Go and bring it here." I brought it and he took it in his hand. He said words which I do not know what they were, then he felt it with his hands, after which he gave it to me, he said: "O Jabir, call for the vessel big." I called out: Big vessel, O caravan. Then I brought it and I put it in front of the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa Salam, he gestured to the vessel with his hand like this - Jabir spread his hand then stretched his fingers and placed them on the bottom of the vessel. He said: "Take it, O Jabir then pour it on me and say: 'Bismillaah." I poured it for him and I said: Bismillaah. I saw the water radiated between the fingers of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam then the large vessel emitted water and spun until it was full, after which he said: "O Jabir, call out who needs water." Jabir said: People came and drank until they were satisfied. Then I said: Is there anyone who needs water? 'alaihi wa Salam then he said: "May Allah feed you." Then we went to the shore, the tide was high and we threw a fish and then we lit a fire beside it, we cooked it and grilled it and then we ate until we were full. Jabir said: I, so-and-so and so-and-so - he counted up to five people - entered the eye socket, no one saw us until we came out. We took one of his eyebrows and then we arched it, after that we called the biggest man in the caravan, the biggest camel in the caravan and the biggest pillion in the caravan, he entered under it without bowing his head

روى عبادة بن الوليد بن سامط (رضي الله عنه): ذهبتُ مع أبي إلى قبيلة من الأنصار لطلب العلم قبل وفاة الصحابة. فلقيتُ أولًا أبا يسار، أحد صحابة رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم)، ومعه شاب يحمل رسائل ويرتدي عباءة معافرية، وكان خادمه يرتدي عباءة معافرية أيضًا. فقال له أبي: يا عمي، أرى على وجهك غضبًا أو حزنًا. فقال: نعم، كان رجل من قبيلة الحرامي مدينًا لي. فذهبتُ إلى أهله، فسلمتُ عليهم، وسألتُهم أين هو. فقالوا: ليس هنا. فخرج ابنه الصغير، فسألتُه أين أبوه. فقال لي: ما إن سمعك حتى اختبأ خلف فراش أمي. فقلتُ له: تعال، أعرف أين أنت. فخرج. فسألتُه: لماذا اختبأت؟ أجاب: "والله، لن أكذب عليك. إني أخشى أن أكذب عليك أو أن أخلف وعدي، لأنك صاحب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. والحقيقة أنني أمر بضائقة مالية." طلبت منه مرارًا أن يحلف بالله، فحلف. ثم أحضر السند وألغاه بخط يده، قائلاً: "سدد ما استطعت، وإلا فلا دين عليك." وضع أبو يسار أصابعه على عينيه وقلبه وقال: "قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من سامح مدينًا في ضيق، أو غفر له دينه، استظله الله بظله." قلت له: "يا عمي، لو أخذت رداء خادمك وأعطيته ثوبيك، أو لو أخذت ثوبيه من معافِر وأعطيته رداءك، لكان لكل منهما لباس." ربّت على رأسي وقال: "اللهم بارك في ابن أخي. يا ابن أخي، لقد رأت عيناي، وسمعت أذناي، وحفظ قلبي أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: أطعموا عبادكم والبسوهم كما تلبسون أنفسكم، إن إعطائهم أموال الدنيا أيسر عليّ من إعطائهم حسناتي يوم القيامة". ثم ذهبنا إلى جابر بن عبد الله في المسجد، وكان يصلي مرتدياً ثوباً واحداً فقط، مع أن عباءته كانت بجانبه. فجلست بينه وبين القبلة وقلت: "رحمك الله، تصلي مرتدياً ثوباً واحداً فقط وعباءتك أمامك؟" فأشار إلى صدري ثم قال: "ظننت أن رجلاً مثلك سيأتي إليّ ويفعل مثلي. لقد جاء رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى هذا المسجد ومعه سعفة نخل، فرأى لعاباً متجهاً نحو القبلة، فمسحه بالسعفة. ثم قال: «مَنْ مِنكُم يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُغْضِعْ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ؟» فخفنا. فكررها ثلاث مرات. قلنا: «لا أحد يا رسول الله». فقال: «إذا صلى أحدكم فإن الله أمامه، فلا يبصق أمامه ولا عن يمينه، بل عن شماله، تحت رجله اليسرى. فإن لم يستطع غير ذلك، فليبصق في ثوبه ويطويه». وقال أيضًا: «أحضروا شيئًا طيب الرائحة». فأحضر شاب من قبيلتنا عطرًا، فوضعه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على طرف غصن ومسح موضع اللعاب. فقال جابر: «لذلك يجب أن تُعطّروا مساجدكم». وروى أيضًا: «خرجنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في غزوة بطن بوات، بحثًا عن المجدي بن عمرو الجهني. وكنا قليلي التجهيز، حتى إن خمسة أو ستة أو سبعة منا ركبوا جملًا واحدًا». كان أحد الأنصاريين على وشك ركوب الجمل، فأركعه، لكنه رفض النهوض. فقال: "لعنك الله!" فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "ومن لعن جمله؟" قال: "أنا يا رسول الله." فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: "انزل، لا نريد السفر مع دابة ملعونة. لا تلعنوا أنفسكم ولا أولادكم ولا أموالكم، لعل لعنتكم تتزامن مع وقت يستجيب الله فيه دعاءكم." وروى أيضًا: "خرجنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى المساء إلى بئر ماء. فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: "من يذهب فيصلح البئر ويشرب منه ويخدمنا؟" قلت: "أنا يا رسول الله." قال: "ومن يرافق جابر؟" فقام جبار بن صخر. أصلحنا خزان الماء وملأناه، ثم جاء النبي ﷺ، فسقى جمله، ثم توضأ. فعلتُ مثله. ذهب جبار لقضاء حاجته، ثم صلى النبي ﷺ. حاولتُ أن أغطي جسدي بعباءتي، لكنها كانت قصيرة جدًا، فربطتها حول عنقي. وقفتُ عن يسار النبي ﷺ، وقادني من خلفه عن اليمين. جاء جبار، ووقف عن اليسار، وقادنا النبي ﷺ خلفه. بعد الصلاة، قال لي: "يا جابر! إذا قصرت عباءتك، فاربطها حول خصرك". وروى جابر أيضًا: "خرجنا في غزوة مع رسول الله ﷺ، وكان لكل منا تمرة واحدة في اليوم يأكلها". كنا نمضغها وندق أوراقها لنأكلها، حتى تقرحت أفواهنا. وفي أحد الأيام، لم يحصل أحدنا على تمرة، فشهدنا له، فأعطاه واحدة". وقال أيضاً: "انطلقنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فوصلنا إلى وادٍ واسع. فذهب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لقضاء حاجته، فتبعته بدلو ماء. فلم يجد إلا شجرتين يستظل بهما، فأخذ غصناً من إحداهما وقال: «كوني تحت أمري بإذن الله»، فانحنت الشجرة. وفعل بالشجرة الثانية مثل ذلك." وصل بين الغصنين وقال: «وصلا بإذن الله». ثم طلب مني أن أقطع غصنًا من كل شجرة وأغرسهما في المكان الذي وقف فيه، لأنه رأى قبرين يُعذَّب فيهما صاحباهما، وأراد أن يشفع لهما ما دام الغصنان طريين. عدنا إلى المخيم، وطلب النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ماءً للوضوء. لم يكن في القربة إلا قطرة ماء. فنطق بكلمات قليلة، وعصر القربة، ثم وضع يديه في حوض، وبسط أصابعه. فسكبت الماء وقلت: «بسم الله»، فتدفق الماء من بين أصابعه حتى ملأ الحوض. وشرب الجميع. واشتكى الناس من الجوع، فدعا الله، ووصلنا إلى شاطئ البحر، حيث جرف الموج حيوانًا ضخمًا. فطبخناه وأكلنا حتى شبعنا. كان بإمكان خمسة منا أن يدخلوا في تجويف عينه، وكان بإمكان جمل كبير أن يمر تحت ضلعه دون أن ينحني.
Narrated by Ubadah ibn Walid ibn Samit (may Allah be pleased with him): I had gone with my father to seek knowledge from a tribe of the Ansar before the death of the Companions. I first met Abu Yasar, a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), accompanied by a young man carrying letters and wearing a Ma'afiri cloak. His servant also wore a Ma'afiri cloak. My father said to him, "My uncle, I see signs of anger or sorrow on your face." He replied, "Yes, a man from the Harami tribe owed me money. I went to his family, greeted them, and asked where he was. They said he wasn't there. His young son came out, and I asked him where his father was." He told me, “As soon as he heard you, he hid behind my mother’s bed.” I said to him, “Come, I know where you are.” He came out. I asked him why he had hidden. He replied, “By Allah, I will not lie to you. I am afraid of lying to you or breaking my word, because you are a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). In truth, I am going through financial difficulties.” I asked him several times to swear by Allah, which he did. Then he brought the promissory note and canceled it with his own handwriting, saying, “Repay me when you can; otherwise, you no longer owe me.” Abu Yasar placed his fingers on his eyes and his heart and said, “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Whoever grants respite to a debtor in difficulty, or cancels his debt, Allah will shelter him under His shade.’” I said to him, “My uncle, if you take your servant’s cloak and give him your two garments, or if you take his two garments from Ma’afir and give him your cloak, there would be clothing for each of them.” He stroked my head and said, “O Allah, bless the son of my brother. O son of my brother, my eyes have seen, my ears have heard, and my heart has retained that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Feed your servants and clothe them as you clothe yourselves. Giving them worldly wealth is easier for me than having to give them my good deeds on the Day of Resurrection.’” “Then we went to see Jabir ibn Abdullah at the mosque. He was praying wearing only one garment, even though his cloak was beside him. I sat between him and the Qibla and said, ‘May Allah have mercy on you. You are praying wearing only one garment when your cloak is right there?’ He gestured to my chest and then said, ‘I thought a man like you would come to me and do as I do. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to this mosque with a palm branch, saw some saliva directed towards the Qibla, and wiped it away with the branch. Then he said, “Who among you wants Allah to turn His face away from him?” We were afraid. He repeated it three times. We said, “No one, O Messenger of Allah.”’” He said, “When one of you prays, Allah is before him: let him not spit in front of him or to his right, but to his left, under his left foot. And if he cannot do otherwise, let him spit into his garment and fold it.” He also said, “Bring something that smells good.” A young man from our tribe brought perfume, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed it on the end of a branch and touched the spot where there was saliva. Jabir said, “That is why you should perfume your mosques.” He also reported, “We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the expedition to Batn Buwat, in search of al-Majdi ibn Amr al-Juhani. We were so poorly equipped that five, six, or seven of us shared a single camel.” An Ansari was about to mount the camel, so he made it kneel, but it refused to get up. He said, “May Allah curse you!” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Who cursed his camel?” He replied, “I did, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Get off; we do not want to travel with a cursed animal. Do not curse yourselves, your children, or your possessions. Perhaps your curse will coincide with a time when Allah will grant your request.” He also reported: “We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) until evening, near a water reservoir. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Who will go and repair the reservoir, drink from it, and serve us?’ I said, ‘I will, O Messenger of Allah.’ He asked, ‘Who will accompany Jabir?’” Jabbar ibn Sakhr got up. We repaired the water tank, filled it, and then the Prophet ﷺ came, watered his camel, and then performed his ablutions. I did the same. Jabbar went to relieve himself, and then the Prophet ﷺ prayed. I tried to cover my body with my cloak, but it was too short, so I tied it around my neck. I stood to the left of the Prophet ﷺ, and he led me behind him on the right. Jabbar came, stood to the left, and the Prophet ﷺ led both of us behind him. After the prayer, he said to me, “Jabir! When your garment is short, tie it around your waist.” Jabir also related: “We went on an expedition with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and each of us had only one date a day to eat.” We chewed it and beat the leaves to eat it, to the point that our mouths were sore. One day, someone didn't receive a date, so we testified on his behalf, and he received one.” He also said: “We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and arrived in a wide valley. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to relieve himself, and I followed him with a bucket of water. He found only two trees to hide behind. He took a branch from one of them and said, ‘Be under my control, by the permission of Allah,’ and the tree bent down. He did the same with the second tree. He joined the two branches and said, ‘Join together, by the permission of Allah.’” Afterwards, he asked me to cut a branch from each tree and plant them where he had stood, for he had seen two graves whose occupants were being punished, and he wanted to intercede for them as long as the branches remained fresh. We returned to the camp, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for water for ablutions. There was only a drop in a waterskin. He spoke a few words, squeezed the skin, and then placed his hands in a basin, his fingers spread. I poured the water, saying “Bismillah,” and the water gushed out between his fingers until it filled the basin. Everyone was able to drink. The people complained of hunger, he invoked Allah, and we arrived at the seashore, where a large animal had washed ashore. We cooked it and ate our fill. Five of us could fit inside its eye socket, and a large camel could pass under its rib without stooping. »

Abu Sa’id al-khudri said:The Prophet(ﷺ) liked the twigs of the date-palm, and he often had one of them in his hand. He entered the mosque and saw phlegm in the wall towards qiblah and he scraped it. He then turned towards people in anger and said: Is any one of you is pleased to spit in his face? When any of you faces qiblah, he indeed faces his Lord, the Majestic the Glorious: the angels are at right side. Therefore, he should not spit on his right side or before him towards qiblah. He should spit towards his left side or beneath his foot. If he is in a hurry, he should do so-and-so. Describing it Ibn ‘Ajlan said: He should spit in his cloth and fold a part of it over the other

Sa'id ibn AbuSa'id al-Maqburi reported on the authority of his father that he saw AbuRafi' the freed slave of the Prophet (ﷺ), passing by Hasan ibn Ali (Allah be pleased with them) when he was standing offering his prayer. He had tied the back knot of his hair. AbuRafi' untied it. Hasan turned to him with anger, AbuRafi' said to him: Concentrate on your prayer and do not be angry: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: This is the seat of the devil, referring to the back knot of the hair.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying:If anyone observes a prayer in which he does not recite Umm al-Qur’an, it is incomplete, it is incomplete, it is incomplete, and deficient. (The narrator said) I said: Abu Hurairah, sometime I pray behind the imam(then what should I do)? Pressing my hand he replied: O Persian, recite it inwardly, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying that Allah, Most High, has said: I have Me and the Half for my servant and My servant will receive what he asks. The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: Recite. When the servant says: “praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe,” Allah, Most High says: “My servant has praised me.” When the servant says: “ The Compassionate, the merciful, “Allah Most High says: “My servant has lauded me.” When the servant says: “Owner of the Day of Judgment,” Allah, Most High, says: “My servant has glorified Me” When the servant says: “ Thee do we worship and of thee we ask help. “ (Allah says) “This is between Me and My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks.” When the servant says: “ Guide us to the Straight Path, the path of those whom thou hast favoured, not ( the path) of those who earn thine anger nor of those who go astray,”(Allah says: ) “This is for My servant, and My servant will receive what he asks.”

Hittan ibn Abdullah ar-Ruqashi said: AbuMusa al-Ash'ari led us in prayer.
When he sat at the end of his prayer, one of the people said: Prayer has been established by virtue and purity.
When AbuMusa returned (from his prayer or finished his prayer), he gave his attention to the people, and said: Which of you is the speaker of such and such words? The people remained silent. Which of you is the speaker of such and such words? The people remained silent. He said: You might have said them, Hittan. He replied: I did not say them. I was afraid you might punish me. One of the people said: I said them and I did not intend by them (anything) except good.
AbuMusa said: Do you not know how you utter (them) in your prayer? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us, and taught us and explained to us our way of doing and taught us our prayer.
He said: When you pray a (congregational) prayer, straighten your rows, then one of you should lead you in prayer. When he says the takbir (Allah is Most Great), say the takbir, and when he recites verses "Not of those upon whom is Thy anger, nor of those who err" (i.e. the end of Surah i.), say Amin; Allah will favour you. When he says "Allah is most great," and bows, say "Allah is most great" and bow, for the imam will bow before you, and will raise (his head) before you.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: This is for that. When he says "Allah listens to the one who praises Him," say: "O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be praise, Allah be praised," Allah will listen to you, for Allah, the Exalted, said by the tongue of His Prophet (ﷺ): "Allah listens to the one who praises Him." When he says "Allah is most great" and prostrates, say: "Allah is most great" and prostrate, for the imam prostrates before you and raises his head before you.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: This is for that. When he sits, each one of you should say "The adorations of the tongue, all good things, and acts of worship are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah's mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allah's upright servants. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Apostle."
This version of Ahmad does not mention the words "and His blessings" nor the phrase "and I testify"; instead, it has the words "that Muhammad."

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، سَأَلْتُ نَافِعًا عَنِ الرَّجُلِ، يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مُشَبِّكٌ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ تِلْكَ صَلاَةُ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ .
Isma’ll b. Umayyah said:I asked about a man who intertwines his fingers while he is engaged in prayer. He said that Ibn ‘Umar had said: This is the prayer of those who earn the anger of Allah

Sahih
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ - حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَلْقَمَةَ - عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَعْنَى حَمَّادٍ كُلِّهِ إِلَى آخِرِ قَوْلِهِ نُبِّئْتُ أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ . قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالتَّشَهُّدُ قَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ يَتَشَهَّدَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ كَانَ يُسَمِّيهِ ذَا الْيَدَيْنِ . وَلاَ ذَكَرَ فَأَوْمَئُوا . وَلاَ ذَكَرَ الْغَضَبَ وَحَدِيثُ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ أَتَمُّ .
Abu Hurairah said ; The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in prayer. He then narrated the same version reported by Hammad up to the words “we are sure that ‘Imran b. Husain said:then he gave the salutation.” The narrator said: I asked; What about the Tashahud? He replied: I did not hear thing about the tashahhud, but it is more liking to me that one should recite the tashahhud. This version has not the words “whom he called the possessor of arms(Dhu al-yadain).” Nor the words “they made a sign,” nor the word “anger”. The tradition narrated by Hammad from Ayyub is more perfect
