Narrated Sufyan (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

'Ubaidullah said: "I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, "Following are some traits of

the people of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (i) to defame the

ancestry of other families, (ii) and to wail over the dead." 'Ubaidullah

forgot the third trait. Sufyan said, "They say it (i.e. the third trait)

was to believe that rain was caused by the influence of stars (i.e. if a

special star appears it will rain)."

Narrated 'Abdullah (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) recited Surat An-Najam and

prostrated, and there was nobody who did not prostrate then except a man

whom I saw taking a handful of pebbles, lifting it, and prostrating on it.

He then said, "This is sufficient for me." No doubt I saw him killed as a

disbeliever afterwards.

Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned a church they had seen in Ethiopia and in

the church there were pictures. When they told the Prophet (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) of this, he said, "Those people are such that if a pious

man amongst them died, they build a place of worship over his grave and

paint these pictures in it. Those people will be Allah's worst creatures on

the Day of Resurrection."

Narrated 'Abdullah (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

We used to greet the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) while he used

to be in prayers, and he used to reply to our greetings. But when we came

back from Najashi (the King of Ethiopia) we greeted him (while he was

praying) and he did not reply to us. We said, "O Allah's Apostle! We used

to greet you in the past and you used to reply to us." He said, "Verily The

Mind is occupied and busy with more important matter during the prayer."

(So one cannot return One's greetings.)

Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Who had taken part in the battle of Badr with Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and had been amongst his companions on the night of

Al-'Aqaba Pledge: Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam),

surrounded by a group of his companions said, "Come along and give me the

pledge of allegiance that you will not worship anything besides Allah, will

not steal, will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, will not kill your

children, will not utter slander invented by yourself, and will not disobey

me if I order you to do something good. Whoever among you will respect and

fulfill this pledge, will be rewarded by Allah. And if one of you commits

any of these sins and is punished in this world then that will be his

expiation for it, and if one of you commits any of these sins and Allah

screens his sin, then his matter, will rest with Allah: If He will, He will

punish him and if He will, He will excuse him." So I gave the pledge of

allegiance to him for these conditions.

Merits of the Helpers in Madinah (Ansaar) - 29th Muharram 1432 (4th January 2011)

 

Narrated 'Aisha (Radi-Allahu 'anha):

 

(the wife of the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)) I never remembered

my parents believing in any religion other than the true religion (i.e.

Islam), and (I don't remember) a single day passing without our being

visited by Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) in the morning

and in the evening. When the Muslims were put to test (i.e. troubled by the

pagans), Abu Bakr set out migrating to the land of Ethiopia, and when he

reached Bark-al-Ghimad, Ibn Ad-Daghina, the chief of the tribe of Qara, met

him and said, "O Abu Bakr! Where are you going?" Abu Bakr replied, "My

people have turned me out (of my country), so I want to wander on the Earth

and worship my Lord." Ibn Ad-Daghina said, "O Abu Bakr! A man like you

should not leave his home-land, nor should he be driven out, because you

help the destitute, earn their livings, and you keep good relations with

your Kith and kin, help the weak and poor, entertain guests generously, and

help the calamity-stricken persons. Therefore I am your protector. Go back

and worship your Lord in your town."

 

So Abu Bakr returned and Ibn Ad-Daghina accompanied him. In the evening Ibn

Ad-Daghina visited the nobles of Quraish and said to them. "A man like Abu

Bakr should not leave his homeland, nor should he be driven out. Do you

(i.e. Quraish) drive out a man who helps the destitute, earns their living,

keeps good relations with his Kith and kin, helps the weak and poor,

entertains guests generously and helps the calamity-stricken persons?" So

the people of Quraish could not refuse Ibn Ad-Daghina's protection, and

they said to Ibn Ad-Daghina, "Let Abu Bakr worship his Lord in his house.

He can pray and recite there whatever he likes, but he should not hurt us

with it, and should not do it publicly, because we are afraid that he may

affect our women and children." Ibn Ad-Daghina told Abu Bakr of all that.

Abu Bakr stayed in that state, worshipping his Lord in his house. He did

not pray publicly, nor did he recite Quran outside his house.

 

Then a thought occurred to Abu Bakr to build a mosque in front of his

house, and there he used to pray and recite the Quran. The women and

children of the pagans began to gather around him in great number. They

used to wonder at him and look at him. Abu Bakr was a man who used to weep

too much, and he could not help weeping on reciting the Quran. That

situation scared the nobles of the pagans of Quraish, so they sent for Ibn

Ad-Daghina. When he came to them, they said, "We accepted your protection

of Abu Bakr on condition that he should worship his Lord in his house, but

he has violated the conditions and he has built a mosque in front of his

house where he prays and recites the Quran publicly. We are now afraid that

he may affect our women and children unfavorably. So, prevent him from

that. If he likes to confine the worship of his Lord to his house, he may

do so, but if he insists on doing that openly, ask him to release you from

your obligation to protect him, for we dislike to break our pact with you,

but we deny Abu Bakr the right to announce his act publicly." Ibn

Ad-Daghina went to Abu- Bakr and said, "O Abu Bakr! You know well what

contract I have made on your behalf; now, you are either to abide by it, or

else release me from my obligation of protecting you, because I do not want

the 'Arabs hear that my people have dishonored a contract I have made on

behalf of another man." Abu Bakr replied, "I release you from your pact to

protect me, and am pleased with the protection from Allah."

 

At that time the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) was in Makkah, and

he said to the Muslims, "In a dream I have been shown your migration place,

a land of date palm trees, between two mountains, the two stony tracts."

So, some people migrated to Medina, and most of those people who had

previously migrated to the land of Ethiopia, returned to Medina. Abu Bakr

also prepared to leave for Medina, but Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi

Wa Sallam) said to him, "Wait for a while, because I hope that I will be

allowed to migrate also." Abu Bakr said, "Do you indeed expect this? Let my

father be sacrificed for you!" The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)

said, "Yes." So Abu Bakr did not migrate for the sake of Allah's Apostle

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) in order to accompany him. He fed two

she-camels he possessed with the leaves of As-Samur tree that fell on being

struck by a stick for four months.

 

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

Abu Bakr, "This is Allah's Apostle with his head covered coming at a time

at which he never used to visit us before." Abu Bakr said, "May my parents

be sacrificed for him. By Allah, he has not come at this hour except for a

great necessity." So Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) came

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

entered, he said to Abu Bakr. "Tell everyone who is present with you to go

away." Abu Bakr replied, "There are none but your family. May my father be

sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) said, "I have been given permission to migrate." Abu Bakr said,

"Shall I accompany you? May my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah's

Apostle!" Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Yes." Abu

Bakr said, "O Allah's Apostle! May my father be sacrificed for you, take

one of these two she-camels of mine." Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi

Wa Sallam) replied, "(I will accept it) with payment." So we prepared the

baggage quickly and put some journey food in a leather bag for them. Asma,

Abu Bakr's daughter, cut a piece from her waist belt and tied the mouth of

the leather bag with it, and for that reason she was named Dhat-un-Nitaqain

(i.e. the owner of two belts).

 

Then Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and Abu Bakr reached a

cave on the mountain of Thaur and stayed there for three nights. 'Abdullah

bin Abi Bakr who was intelligent and a sagacious youth, used to stay (with

them) overnight. He used to leave them before day break so that in the

morning he would be with Quraish as if he had spent the night in Makkah. He

would keep in mind any plot made against them, and when it became dark he

would (go and) inform them of it. 'Amir bin Fuhaira, the freed slave of Abu

Bakr, used to bring the milch sheep (of his master, Abu Bakr) to them a

little while after nightfall in order to rest the sheep there. So they

always had fresh milk at night, the milk of their sheep, and the milk which

they warmed by throwing heated stones in it. 'Amir bin Fuhaira would then

call the herd away when it was still dark (before daybreak).

 

He did the same in each of those three nights. Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and Abu Bakr had hired a man from the tribe of Bani

Ad-Dail from the family of Bani Abd bin Adi as an expert guide, and he was

in alliance with the family of Al-'As bin Wail As-Sahmi and he was on the

religion of the infidels of Quraish. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) and Abu Bakr trusted him and gave him their two she-camels and took

his promise to bring their two she camels to the cave of the mountain of

Thaur in the morning three nights later. And (when they set out), 'Amir bin

Fuhaira and the guide went along with them and the guide led them along the

sea-shore.

 

The nephew of Suraqa bin Ju'sham said that his father informed him that he

heard Suraqa bin Ju'sham saying, "The messengers of the heathens of Quraish

came to us declaring that they had assigned for the persons who would kill

or arrest Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr, a reward equal to their bloodmoney.

While I (Suraqa) was sitting in one of the gatherings of my tribe Bani

Mudlij, a man from them came to us and stood up while we were sitting, and

said, "O Suraqa! No doubt, I have just seen some people far away on the

seashore, and I think they are Muhammad and his companions." Suraqa added,

"I too realized that it must have been they. But I said 'No, it is not

they, but you have seen so-and-so, and so-and-so whom we saw set out.' I

(Suraqa) stayed in the gathering for a while and then got up and left for

my home. and ordered my slave-girl to get my horse which was behind a

hillock, and keep it ready for me.

 

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

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

horse, mounted it and made it gallop. When I approached them (i.e. Muhammad

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and Abu Bakr), my horse stumbled and I fell

down from it. Then I stood up, got hold of my quiver and took out the

divining arrows and drew lots as to whether I should harm them (i.e. the

Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and Abu Bakr) or not, and the lot

which I disliked came out. But I remounted my horse and let it gallop,

giving no importance to the divining arrows. When I heard the recitation of

the Quran by Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) who did not

look hither and thither while Abu Bakr was doing it often, suddenly the

forelegs of my horse sank into the ground up to the knees, and I fell down

from it. Then I rebuked it and it got up but could hardly take out its

forelegs from the ground, and when it stood up straight again, its

fore-legs caused dust to rise up in the sky like smoke.

 

Then again I drew lots with the divining arrows, and the lot which I

disliked, came out. So I called upon them to feel secure. They stopped, and

I remounted my horse and went to them. When I saw how I had been hampered

from harming them, it came to my mind that the cause of Allah's Apostle

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) (i.e. Islam) will become victorious. So I

said to him, "Your people have assigned a reward equal to the bloodmoney

for your head." Then I told them all the plans the people of Makkah had

made concerning them. Then I offered them some journey food and goods but

they refused to take anything and did not ask for anything, but the Prophet

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Do not tell others about us." Then I

requested him to write for me a statement of security and peace. He ordered

'Amr bin Fuhaira who wrote it for me on a parchment, and then Allah's

Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) proceeded on his way.

 

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) met Az-Zubair in a caravan of Muslim merchants who were returning

from Sham. Az-Zubair provided Allah's Apostle a(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) nd Abu Bakr with white clothes to wear. When the Muslims of Medina

heard the news of the departure of Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) from Makkah (towards Medina), they started going to the Harra every

morning . They would wait for him till the heat of the noon forced them to

return. One day, after waiting for a long while, they returned home, and

when they went into their houses, a Jew climbed up the roof of one of the

forts of his people to look for some thing, and he saw Allah's Apostle and

his companions dressed in white clothes, emerging out of the desert mirage.

 

The Jew could not help shouting at the top of his voice, "O you 'Arabs!

Here is your great man whom you have been waiting for!" So all the Muslims

rushed to their arms and received Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) on the summit of Harra. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)

turned with them to the right and alighted at the quarters of Bani 'Amr bin

'Auf, and this was on Monday in the month of Rabi-ul-Awal. Abu Bakr stood

up, receiving the people while Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) sat down and kept silent. Some of the Ansar who came and had not

seen Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) before, began greeting

Abu Bakr, but when the sunshine fell on Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi

Wa Sallam) and Abu Bakr came forward and shaded him with his sheet only

then the people came to know Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam). Allah's Apostle stayed with Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf for ten nights and

established the mosque (mosque of Quba) which was founded on piety. Allah's

Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) prayed in it and then mounted his

she-camel and proceeded on, accompanied by the people till his she-camel

knelt down at (the place of) the Mosque of Allah's Apostle at Medina. Some

Muslims used to pray there in those days, and that place was a yard for

drying dates belonging to Suhail and Sahl, the orphan boys who were under

the guardianship of 'Asad bin Zurara.

 

When his she-camel knelt down, Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) said, "This place, Allah willing, will be our abiding place."

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) then called the two boys and

told them to suggest a price for that yard so that he might take it as a

mosque. The two boys said, "No, but we will give it as a gift, O Allah's

Apostle!" Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) then built a

mosque there. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) himself started

carrying unburnt bricks for its building and while doing so, he was saying

"This load is better than the load of Khaibar, for it is more pious in the

Sight of Allah and purer and better rewardable." He was also saying, "O

Allah! The actual reward is the reward in the Hereafter, so bestow Your

Mercy on the Ansar and the Emigrants."

Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (PBUH) - 5th Safar 1432 (9th January 2011)

 

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) sent a Sariya of spies and

appointed 'Asim bin Thabit, the grandfather of 'Asim bin 'Umar bin

Al-Khattab, as their leader. So they set out, and when they reached (a

place) between 'Usfan and Makkah, they were mentioned to one of the branch

tribes of Bani Hudhail called Lihyan. So, about one-hundred archers

followed their traces till they (i.e. the archers) came to a journey

station where they (i.e. 'Asim and his companions) had encamped and found

stones of dates they had brought as journey food from Medina.

 

The archers said, "These are the dates of Medina," and followed their

traces till they took them over. When 'Asim and his companions were not

able to go ahead, they went up a high place, and their pursuers encircled

them and said, "You have a covenant and a promise that if you come down to

us, we will not kill anyone of you." 'Asim said, "As for me, I will never

come down on the security of an infidel. O Allah! Inform Your Prophet about

us." So they fought with them till they killed 'Asim along with seven of

his companions with arrows, and there remained Khubaib, Zaid and another

man to whom they gave a promise and a covenant. So when the infidels gave

them the covenant and promise, they came down. When they captured them,

they opened the strings of their arrow bows and tied them with it. The

third man who was with them said, "This is the first breach in the

covenant," and refused to accompany them. They dragged him and tried to

make him accompany them, but he refused, and they killed him. Then they

proceeded on taking Khubaib and Zaid till they sold them in Makkah. The

sons of Al-Harith bin 'Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib. It was Khubaib who

had killed Al-Harith bin 'Amr on the day of Badr. Khubaib stayed with them

for a while as a captive till they decided unanimously to kill him. (At

that time) Khubaib borrowed a razor from one of the daughters of Al-Harith

to shave his pubic hair. She gave it to him. She said later on, "I was

heedless of a little baby of mine, who moved towards Khubaib, and when it

reached him, he put it on his thigh.

 

When I saw it, I got scared so much that Khubaib noticed my distress while

he was carrying the razor in his hand. He said 'Are you afraid that I will

kill it? Allah willing, I will never do that,' " Later on she used to say,

"I have never seen a captive better than Khubaib. Once I saw him eating

from a bunch of grapes although at that time no fruits were available at

Makkah, and he was fettered with iron chains, and in fact, it was nothing

but food bestowed upon him by Allah." So they took him out of the Sanctuary

(of Makkah) to kill him. He said, "Allow me to offer a two-Rak'at prayer."

Then he went to them and said, "Had I not been afraid that you would think

I was afraid of death, I would have prayed for a longer time." So it was

Khubaib who first set the tradition of praying two Rakat before being

executed. He then said, "O Allah! Count them one by one," and added, 'When

I am being martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I receive my

death for Allah's Sake, because this death is in Allah's Cause. If He

wishes, He will bless the cut limbs." Then 'Uqba bin Al-Harith got up and

martyred him.

 

The narrator added: The Quraish (infidels) sent some people to 'Asim in

order to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for

certain, for 'Asim had killed one of their chiefs on the day of Badr. But

Allah sent a cloud of wasps which protected his body from their messengers

who could not harm his body consequently.

Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (PBUH) - 6th Safar 1432 (10th January 2011)

 

Narrated Jabir (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

We were digging (the trench) on the day of (Al-Khandaq ( i.e. Trench)) and

we came across a big solid rock. We went to the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi

Wa Sallam) and said, "Here is a rock appearing across the trench." He said,

"I am coming down." Then he got up, and a stone was tied to his belly for

we had not eaten anything for three days. So the Prophet (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) took the spade and struck the big solid rock and it

became like sand. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allow me to go home."

 

(When the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) allowed me) I said to my

wife, "I saw the Prophet in a state that I cannot treat lightly. Have you

got something (for him to eat?)" She replied, "I have barley and a she

goat." So I slaughtered the she-kid and she ground the barley; then we put

the meat in the earthenware cooking pot. Then I came to the Prophet

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) when the dough had become soft and fermented

and (the meat in) the pot over the stone trivet had nearly been

well-cooked, and said, "I have got a little food prepared, so get up O

Allah's Apostle, you and one or two men along with you (for the food)." The

Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked, "How much is that food?" I

told him about it. He said, "It is abundant and good. Tell your wife not to

remove the earthenware pot from the fire and not to take out any bread from

the oven till I reach there." Then he said (to all his companions), "Get

up." So the Muhajirn (i.e. Emigrants) and the Ansar got up. When I came to

my wife, I said, "Allah's Mercy be upon you! The Prophet came along with

the Muhajirin and the Ansar and those who were present with them." She

said, "Did the Prophet ask you (how much food you had)?" I replied, "Yes."

Then the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Enter and do not

throng." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) started cutting the

bread (into pieces) and put the cooked meat over it. He covered the

earthenware pot and the oven whenever he took something out of them. He

would give the food to his companions and take the meat out of the pot. He

went on cutting the bread and scooping the meat (for his companions) till

they all ate their fill, and even then, some food remained. Then the

Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said (to my wife), "Eat and present

to others as the people are struck with hunger."

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "When the Imam says:

'Ghair-il-Maghdubi 'Alaihim Walad-Dallin (i.e. not the path of those who

earn Your Anger, nor the path of those who went astray (1.7)), then you

must say, 'Ameen', for if one's utterance of 'Ameen' coincides with that of

the angels, then his past sins will be forgiven."

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Allah said, 'The son of

Adam tells a lie against me though he has no right to do so, and he abuses

Me though he has no right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it

is that he claims that I cannot recreate him as I created him before; and

as for his abusing Me, it is his statement that I have offspring. No!

Glorified be Me! I am far from taking a wife or offspring.' "

Narrated Al-Bara (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) prayed facing Bait-ul-Maqdis

(i.e. Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months but he wished that his

Qibla would be the Ka'ba (at Makkah). So Allah Revealed (2.144) and he

offered 'Asr prayers (in his Mosque facing Ka'ba at Makkah) and some people

prayed with him. A man from among those who had prayed with him, went out

and passed by some people offering prayer in another mosque, and they were

in the state of bowing. He said, "I, (swearing by Allah) testify that I

have prayed with the Prophet facing Makkah." Hearing that, they turned

their faces to the Ka'ba while they were still bowing. Some men had died

before the Qibla was changed towards the Ka'ba. They had been killed and we

did not know what to say about them (i.e. whether their prayers towards

Jerusalem were accepted or not). So Allah revealed: "And Allah would never

make your faith (i.e. prayer) to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered

(towards Jerusalem). Truly Allah is Full of Pity, Most Merciful towards

mankind." (2.143)

Narrated 'Asim bin Sulaiman (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

I asked Anas bin Malik about Safa and Marwa. Anas replied, "We used to

consider (i.e. going around) them a custom of the Pre-islamic period of

Ignorance, so when Islam came, we gave up going around them. Then Allah

revealed" "Verily, Safa and Marwa (i.e. two mountains at Makkah) are among

the Symbols of Allah. So it is not harmful of those who perform the Hajj of

the House (of Allah) or perform the 'Umra to ambulate (Tawaf) between

them." (2.158)

enter Hell (Fire)." And I said, "Whoever dies without invoking anything as

a rival to Allah, will enter Paradise."

In the Pre-lslamic Period when the people assumed Ihram, they would enter

their houses from the back. So Allah revealed:--

 

"And it is not righteousness that you enter houses from the back, but the

righteous man is he who fears Allah, obeys His Orders and keeps away from

what He has forbidden. So enter houses through their doors." (2.189)

'Ukaz, Mijanna and Dhul-Majaz were markets during the Pre-islamic Period.

They (i.e. Muslims) considered it a sin to trade there during the Hajj time

you seek of the Bounty of your Lord during the Hajj season." (2.198)
