وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَأُخْرِجَنَّ الْيَهُودَ، وَالنَّصَارَى مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ حَتَّى لَا أَدَعَ إِلَّا مُسْلِمًا.

He heard the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.

— It has been narrated by 'Umar bin al-Khattib رضی اللہ عنہ

وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zubair with the same chain of transmitters.

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ بْنَ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، قَالَ: نَزَلَ أَهْلُ قُرَيْظَةَ عَلَى حُكْمِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ، فَأَتَاهُ عَلَى حِمَارٍ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْأَنْصَارِ: «قُومُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِكُمْ» أَوْ «خَيْرِكُمْ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِكَ»، قَالَ: تَقْتُلُ مُقَاتِلَتَهُمْ وَتَسْبِي ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَضَيْتَ بِحُكْمِ اللهِ»، وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: «قَضَيْتَ بِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ»، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: «قَضَيْتَ بِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ».

The people of Quraiza surrendered accepting the decision of Sa'd bin Mu'adh رضی اللہ عنہ about them. Accordingly, the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) sent for Sa'd who came to him riding a donkey. When he approached the mosque, the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said to the Ansar: Stand up to receive your chieftain. Then he said (to Sa'd): These people have surrendered accepting your decision. He (Sa'd) said: You will kill their fighters and capture their women and children. (Hearing this), the Prophet (ﷺ) said: You have adjudged by the command of God. The narrator is reported to have said: Perhaps he said: You have adjuged by the decision of a king. Ibn Muthanna (in his version of the tradition) has not mentioned the alternative words.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri رضی اللہ عنہ who said

وحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ فِيهِمْ بِحُكْمِ اللهِ»، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: «لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ بِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ.

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said (to Sa'd): You have adjudged according to the command of God. And once he said: you have adjudged by the decision of a king.

— Through the same chain of transmitters Shu'ba has narrated the same tradition in which he says

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْعَلَاءِ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: أُصِيبَ سَعْدٌ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ، رَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ الْعَرِقَةِ رَمَاهُ فِي الْأَكْحَلِ، فَضَرَبَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْمَةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَعُودُهُ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَضَعَ السِّلَاحَ، فَاغْتَسَلَ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ وَهُوَ يَنْفُضُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الْغُبَارِ، فَقَالَ: وَضَعْتَ السِّلَاحَ؟ وَاللهِ، مَا وَضَعْنَاهُ اخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَأَيْنَ؟» فَأَشَارَ إِلَى بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ، فَقَاتَلَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْحُكْمَ فِيهِمْ إِلَى سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَحْكُمُ فِيهِمْ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ الْمُقَاتِلَةُ، وَأَنْ تُسْبَى الذُّرِّيَّةُ وَالنِّسَاءُ، وَتُقْسَمَ أَمْوَالُهُمْ.

Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ was wounded on the day of the Battle of the Ditch. A man from the Quraish called Ibn al-Ariqah shot at him an arrow which pierced the artery in the middle of his forearm. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) pitched a tent for him in the mosque and would inquire after him being in close proximity. When he returned from the Ditch and laid down his arms and took a bath, the angel Gabriel appeared to him and he was removing dust from his hair (as if he had just returned from the battle). The latter said: You have laid down arms. By God, we haven't (yet) laid them down. So march against them. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) asked: Where? He pointed to Banu Quraiza. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) fought against them. They surrendered at the command of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌), but he referred the decision about them to Sa'd who said: I decide about them that those of them who can fight be killed, their women and children taken prisoners and their properties distributed (among the Muslims).

— It has been narrated on the authority of A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا who said

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبِي: فَأَخْبَرْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ فِيهِمْ بِحُكْمِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said (to Sa'd): You have adjudged their case with the judgment of God. the Exalted and Glorified.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Hisham (who learnt it from his father)

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ سَعْدًا، قَالَ وَتَحَجَّرَ كَلْمُهُ لِلْبُرْءِ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ، إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أُجَاهِدَ فِيكَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ كَذَّبُوا رَسُولَكَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَخْرَجُوهُ، اللهُمَّ، فَإِنْ كَانَ بَقِيَ مِنْ حَرْبِ قُرَيْشٍ شَيْءٌ، فَأَبْقِنِي أُجَاهِدْهُمْ فِيكَ، اللهُمَّ، فَإِنِّي أَظُنُّ أَنَّكَ قَدْ وَضَعْتَ الْحَرْبَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ، فَإِنْ كُنْتَ وَضَعْتَ الْحَرْبَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَافْجُرْهَا، وَاجْعَلْ مَوْتِي فِيهَا»، فَانْفَجَرَتْ مِنْ لَبَّتِهِ، فَلَمْ يَرُعْهُمْ وَفِي الْمَسْجِدِ مَعَهُ خَيْمَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ إِلَّا وَالدَّمُ يَسِيلُ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالُوا: يَا أَهْلَ الْخَيْمَةِ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي يَأْتِينَا مِنْ قِبَلِكُمْ، فَإِذَا سَعْدٌ جُرْحُهُ يَغِذُّ دَمًا، فَمَاتَ مِنْهَا.

Sa'd's رضی اللہ عنہ wound became dry and was going to heal when he prayed: O God, surely Thou knowest that nothing is dearer to me than that I should fight for Thy cause against the people who disbeliever Your Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and turned him out (from his native place). If anything yet remains to be decided from the war against the Quraish, spare my life so that I may fight against them in Thy cause. O Lord, I think Thou hast ended the war between us and them. If Thou hast done so, open my wound (so that it may discharge) and cause my death thereby. So the wound begin to bleed from the front part of his neck. The people were not scared except when the blood flowed towards them, and in the mosque along with Sa'd's رضی اللہ عنہ tent was the tent of Banu Ghifar. They said: O people of the tent, what is it that is coming to us from you? Lo! it was Sa'd's رضی اللہ عنہ wound that was bleeding and he died thereof.

— It has been narrated on the authority of 'A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا

وحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فَانْفَجَرَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ فَمَا زَالَ يَسِيلُ حَتَّى مَاتَ، وَزَادَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ، قَالَ: فَذَاكَ حِينَ يَقُولُ الشَّاعِرُ [البحر الوافر] أَلَا يَا سَعْدُ سَعْدَ بَنِي مُعَاذٍ ... فَمَا فَعَلَتْ قُرَيْظَةُ وَالنَّضِيرُ لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّ سَعْدَ بَنِي مُعَاذٍ ... غَدَاةَ تَحَمَّلُوا لَهُوَ الصَّبُورُ تَرَكْتُمْ قِدْرَكُمْ لَا شَيْءَ فِيهَا ... وَقِدْرُ الْقَوْمِ حَامِيَةٌ تَفُورُ وَقَدْ قَالَ الْكَرِيمُ أَبُو حُبَابٍ ... أَقِيمُوا قَيْنُقَاعُ وَلَا تَسِيرُوا وَقَدْ كَانُوا بِبَلْدَتِهِمْ ثِقَالًا ... كَمَا ثَقُلَتْ بِمَيْطَانَ الصُّخُورُ.

(His wound) began to bleed that very night and it continued to bleed until he died. He has made the addition that it was then that (a non-believing) poet said: Hark, O Sa'd, Sa'd of Banu Mu'adh, What have the Quraiaa and Nadir done? By thy life! Sa'd bin Mu'adh>br> Was steadfast on the morn they departed. You have left your cooking-pot empty, While the cooking-pot of the people is hot and boiling. Abu Hubab the nobleman has said, O Qainuqa', do not depart. They were weighty in their country just aa rocks are weighty in Maitan.

— This tradition has been narrated by Hisham through the same chain of transmitters with a little difference in the wording. He said

وحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ الضُّبَعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: نَادَى فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ انْصَرَفَ عَنِ الْأَحْزَابِ «أَنْ لَا يُصَلِّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ الظُّهْرَ إِلَّا فِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ»، فَتَخَوَّفَ نَاسٌ فَوْتَ الْوَقْتِ، فَصَلَّوْا دُونَ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ، وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: لَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا حَيْثُ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِنْ فَاتَنَا الْوَقْتُ، قَالَ: فَمَا عَنَّفَ وَاحِدًا مِنَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ.

On the day he returned from the Battle of Ahzab, the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) made for us an announcement that nobody would say his Zuhr prayer but in the quarters of Banu Quraiza (Some) people, being afraid that the time for prayer would expire, said their prayers before reaching the street of Banu Quraiza. The others said: We will not say our prayer except where the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) has ordered us to say it even if the time expires. When he learned of the difference in the view of the two groups of the people, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not blame anyone from the two groups.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ who said

وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ، مِنْ مَكَّةَ، الْمَدِينَةَ قَدِمُوا وَلَيْسَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ شَيْءٌ، وَكَانَ الْأَنْصَارُ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ وَالْعَقَارِ، فَقَاسَمَهُمُ الْأَنْصَارُ عَلَى أَنْ أَعْطَوْهُمْ أَنْصَافَ ثِمَارِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ، كُلَّ عَامٍ، وَيَكْفُونَهُمُ الْعَمَلَ وَالْمَئُونَةَ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَهِيَ تُدْعَى أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، كَانَ أَخًا لِأَنَسٍ لِأُمِّهِ، وَكَانَتْ أَعْطَتْ أُمُّ أَنَسٍ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِذَاقًا لَهَا، فَأَعْطَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ، مَوْلَاتَهُ، أُمَّ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ قِتَالِ أَهْلِ خَيْبَرَ، وَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، رَدَّ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ مَنَائِحَهُمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا مَنَحُوهُمْ مِنْ ثِمَارِهِمْ، قَالَ: فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أُمِّي عِذَاقَهَا، وَأَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ مَكَانَهُنَّ مِنْ حَائِطِهِ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: وَكَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ أُمِّ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ وَصِيفَةً لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْحَبَشَةِ، فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتْ آمِنَةُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ مَا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُوهُ، فَكَانَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ تَحْضُنُهُ حَتَّى كَبِرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْتَقَهَا، ثُمَّ أَنْكَحَهَا زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَتْ بَعْدَ مَا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِخَمْسَةِ أَشْهُرٍ.

When the Muhajirs migrated from Mecca to Medina; they came (in a state that) they had not anything (i.e. money) in their hands, while the Ansar possessed lands and date palms. They divided their properties with the Muhajirs. The Ansar divided and gave them on the condition that they would give half the fruit from the orchards every year, and the Muhajirs would recompense them by working with them and putting in labor. The mother of Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ was called Umm Sulaim رضی اللہ عنہا and she was also the mother of 'Abdullah bin Talha who was a brother of Anas رضی اللہ عنہ from his mother's side. The mother of Anas رضی اللہ عنہ had given the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) her date-palms. He bestowed them upon Umm Aiman, the slave-girl who had been freed by him and was the mother of Usama bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہ . When the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) had finished the war with the people of Khaibar and returned to Medina, the Muhajirs returned to the Ansar all the gifts which they had given them out of the fruits. (Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ said: ) The Messenger of. Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) returned to my mother her date-palms and gave to Umm Aiman رضی اللہ عنہا instead of them date-palms from his orchard. Ibn Shihab says that Umm Aiman رضی اللہ عنہا was the mother of Usama bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہ who was the slave-girl of 'Abdullah bin 'Abdul-Muttalib and hailed from Abyssinia. When Amina gave birth to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) after the death of his father, Umm Aiman رضی اللہ عنہا used to nurse him until he grew up. He (later on) freed her and married her to Zaid bin Haritha رضی اللہ عنہ . She died five months after the death of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ).

— It has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ who said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَحَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْبَكْرَاوِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى الْقَيْسِيُّ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، - وَقَالَ حَامِدٌ، وَابْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ - كَانَ يَجْعَلُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّخَلَاتِ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ حَتَّى فُتِحَتْ عَلَيْهِ قُرَيْظَةُ وَالنَّضِيرُ، فَجَعَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ مَا كَانَ أَعْطَاهُ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ: وَإِنَّ أَهْلِي أَمَرُونِي أَنْ آتِيَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَسْأَلَهُ مَا كَانَ أَهْلُهُ أَعْطَوْهُ أَوْ بَعْضَهُ، وَكَانَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَانِيهِنَّ، فَجَاءَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَجَعَلَتِ الثَّوْبَ فِي عُنُقِي، وَقَالَتْ: وَاللهِ، لَا نُعْطِيكَاهُنَّ وَقَدْ أَعْطَانِيهِنَّ، فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ، اتْرُكِيهِ وَلَكِ كَذَا وَكَذَا»، وَتَقُولُ: كَلَّا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: كَذَا حَتَّى أَعْطَاهَا عَشْرَةَ أَمْثَالِهِ أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ عَشَرَةِ أَمْثَالِهِ.

A person placed at the Prophet's ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) disposal some date-palms growing on his land until the lands of Quraiza and Nadir were conquered. Then he began to return to him whatever he had received. (In this connection) my people told me to approach the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and ask from him what his people had given him or a portion thereof, but the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) had bestowed those trees upon Umm Aiman رضی اللہ عنہا. So I came to the Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and he gave hem (back) to me. Umm Aiman رضی اللہ عنہا (also) came (at this time). She put the cloth round my neck and said: No, by Allah, we will not give to, you what he has granted to me. The Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: Umm Aiman رضی اللہ عنہا , let him have them and for you are such and such trees instead. But she said: By Allah, there is no god besides Him. No, never! The Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) continued saying: (You will get) such and such. until he had granted her ten times or nearly ten times more (than the original gift).

— It has been narrated by Anas رضی اللہ عنہ that (after his migration to Medina)

حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، قَالَ: أَصَبْتُ جِرَابًا مِنْ شَحْمٍ، يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ، قَالَ: فَالْتَزَمْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا أُعْطِي الْيَوْمَ أَحَدًا مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئًا، قَالَ: «فَالْتَفَتُّ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَبَسِّمًا.

Who said I found a bag containing fat on the day of the Battle of Khaibar. I caught hold of it and said: I will not give anything today from it to anybody. Then I turned round and saw that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was smiling (at my words).

— It has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah bin Mughaffal

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مُغَفَّلٍ، يَقُولُ: رُمِيَ إِلَيْنَا جِرَابٌ فِيهِ طَعَامٌ، وَشَحْمٌ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ، فَوَثَبْتُ لِآخُذَهُ، قَالَ: فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْهُ‘وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: جِرَابٌ مِنْ شَحْمٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الطَّعَامَ.

A bag containing food and fat was thrown to us. I kept forward to catch it. Then I turned round and saw (to my surprise) the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and I felt ashamed of my act in his presence. Shu'ba narrated it with this chain (a hadith similar to no. 4604), except that he said: A leader bag full of fats, and he did not mention food.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ: وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ، أَخْبَرَهُ مِنْ فِيهِ إِلَى فِيهِ، قَالَ: انْطَلَقْتُ فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَبَيْنَا أَنَا بِالشَّامِ [ص:1394] إِذْ جِيءَ بِكِتَابٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ يَعْنِي عَظِيمَ الرُّومِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ دَحْيَةُ الْكَلْبِيُّ جَاءَ بِهِ، فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى عَظِيمِ بُصْرَى، فَدَفَعَهُ عَظِيمُ بُصْرَى إِلَى هِرَقْلَ، فَقَالَ هِرَقْلُ: هَلْ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ قَوْمِ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ؟ قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَدُعِيتُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى هِرَقْلَ، فَأَجْلَسَنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: أَيُّكُمْ أَقْرَبُ نَسَبًا مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا، فَأَجْلَسُونِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَأَجْلَسُوا أَصْحَابِي خَلْفِي، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَرْجُمَانِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: قُلْ لَهُمْ إِنِّي سَائِلٌ هَذَا عَنِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ، فَإِنْ كَذَبَنِي فَكَذِّبُوهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ: وَايْمُ اللهِ، لَوْلَا مَخَافَةُ أَنْ يُؤْثَرَ عَلَيَّ الْكَذِبُ لَكَذَبْتُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِتَرْجُمَانِهِ: سَلْهُ كَيْفَ حَسَبُهُ فِيكُمْ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: هُوَ فِينَا ذُو حَسَبٍ، قَالَ: فَهَلْ كَانَ مِنْ آبَائِهِ مَلِكٌ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا، قَالَ: فَهَلْ كُنْتُمْ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ بِالْكَذِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا قَالَ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا، قَالَ: وَمَنْ يَتَّبِعُهُ؟ أَشْرَافُ النَّاسِ أَمْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلْ ضُعَفَاؤُهُمْ، قَالَ: أَيَزِيدُونَ أَمْ يَنْقُصُونَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا، بَلْ يَزِيدُونَ، قَالَ: هَلْ يَرْتَدُّ أَحَدٌ

قِيلَ قَبْلَهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: بِمَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ؟ قُلْتُ: يَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَالصِّلَةِ وَالْعَفَافِ، قَالَ: إِنْ يَكُنْ مَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ حَقًّا فَإِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ، وَقَدْ

وَلَيَبْلُغَنَّ مُلْكُهُ مَا تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ [ص:1396]، قَالَ: ثُمَّ دَعَا بِكِتَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَرَأَهُ فَإِذَا فِيهِ «بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، مِنْ

The latter said: I went out (on a mercantile venture) during the period (of truce) between me and the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌). While I was in Syria, the letter of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) was handed over to Hiraql (Ceasar), the Emperor of Rome (who was on a visit to Jerusalem at that time). The letter was brought by Dihya Kalbi رضی اللہ عنہ who delivered it to the governor of Busra The governor passed it on to Hiraql, (On receiving the letter), he said: Is there anyone from the people of this man who thinks that he is a prophet. People said: Yes. So, I was called along with a few others from the Quraish. We were admitted to Hiraql and he seated us before him. He asked: Which of you has closer kinship with the man who thinks that he is a prophet? Abu Sufyan said: I. So they seated me in front of him and stated my companions behind me. Then, he called his interpreter and said to him: Tell them that I am going to ask this fellow (i. e. Abu Sufyan) about the man who thinks that he is a prophet. It he tells me a lie, then refute him. Abu Sufyan told (the narrator): By God, if there was not the fear that falsehood would be imputed to me I would have lied. (Then) Hiraqi said to his interpreter: Inquire from him about his ancestry, I said: He is of good ancestry among us. He asked: Has there been a king among his ancestors? I said: No. He asked: Did you accuse him of falsehood before he proclaimed his prophethood? I said: No. He asked: Who are his follower people of high status or low status? I said: (They are) of low status. He asked: Are they increasing in number or decreasing? I said. No. they are rather increasing. He asked: Does anyone give up his religion, being dissatisfied with it, after having embraced it? I said: No. He asked: Have you been at war with him? I said: Yes. He asked: How did you fare in that war? I said: The war between us and him has been wavering like a bucket, up at one turn and down at the other (i. e. the victory has been shared between us and him by turns). Sometimes he suffered loss at our hands and sometimes we suffered loss at his (hand). He asked: Has he (ever) violated his covenant? I said: No. but we have recently concluded a peace treaty with him for a petiod and we do not know what he is going to do about it. (Abu Sufyin said on oath that he could not interpolate in this dialogue anything from himself more than these words ) He asked: Did anyone make the proclamation (Of prophethood) before him? I said: No. He (now) said to his interpreter: Tell him, I asked him about his ancestry and he had replied that he had the best ancestry. This is the case with Prophets; they are the descendants of the noblest among their people (Addressing Abu Sufyan), he continued: I asked you if there had been a king among his ancestors. You said that there had been none. If there had been a king among his ancestors, I would have said that he was a man demanding his ancestral kingdom. I asked you about his followers whether they were people of high or low status, and you said that they were of rather low status. Such are the followers of the Prophets. I asked you whether you used to accuse him of falsehood before he proclaimed his prophethood, and you said that you did not. So I have understood that when he did not allow himself to tell a lie about the poeple, he would never go to the length of forging a falsehood about Allah. I asked you whether anyone renounced his religion being dissatisfied with it after he had embraced it, and you replied in the negative. Faith is like this when it enters the depth of the heart (it perpetuates them). I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You said they were increasing. Faith is like this until it reaches its consummation. I asked you whether you had been at war with him, and you replied that you had been and that the victory between you and him had been shared by turns, sometimes he suffering loss at your hand and sometimes you suffering lost at his. This is how the Prophets are tried before the final victory its theirs. I asked you whether he (ever) violated his covenant, and you said that he did not. This is how the Prophets behave. They never violate (their covenants). I asked you whether anyone before him had proclaimed the same thing, and you replied in the negative. I said: If anyone had made the same proclamation before, I would have thought that he was a man following what had been proclaimed before. (Then) he asked: What does he enjoin upon you? I said: He exhorts us to offer Salat, to pay Zakat, to show due regard to kinship and to practise chastity. He said: It what you have told about him is true, he is certainly a Prophet. I knew that he was to appear but I did not think that he would be from among you. If I knew that I would be able to reach him. I would love to meet him; and it I had been with him. I would have washed his feet (out of reverence). His dominion would certainly extend to this place which is under my feet. Then he called for the letter of the Messenger of Allah (may pface be upon him) and read it. The letter ran as follows: In the name of Allah, Most Gracious and Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Hiraql, the Emperor of the Romans. Peace be upon him who follows the guidance. After this, I extend to you the invitation to accept Islam. Embrace Islam and you will be safe. Accept Islam, God will give you double the reward. And if you turn away, upon you will be the sin of your subjects. O People of the Book, come to the word that is common between us that we should worship none other than Allah, should not ascribe any partner to Him and some of us should not take their fellows as Lords other than Allah. If they turn away, you should say that we testify to our being Muslims [iii. 64]. When he hid finished the reading of the letter, noise and confused clamour was raise around him, and he ordered us to leave. Accordingly, we left. (Addressing my companions) while we were coming out (of the place). I said: Ibn Abu Kabsha (referring sarcastically to the Holy Prophet) has come to wield a great power. Lo! (even) the king of the Romans is afraid of him. I continued to believe that the authority of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) would triumph until God imbued me with (the spirit of) Islam.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ who learnt the tradition personally from Abu Safyan رضی اللہ عنہ

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ حَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَزَادَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ، وَكَانَ قَيْصَرُ لَمَّا كَشَفَ اللهُ عَنْهُ جُنُودَ فَارِسَ مَشَى مِنْ حِمْصَ إِلَى إِيلِيَاءَ شُكْرًا لِمَا أَبْلَاهُ اللهُ، وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ: «مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ»، وَقَالَ: «إِثْمَ الْيَرِيسِيِّينَ»، وَقَالَ: «بِدَاعِيَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ.

When Allah inflicted defeat on the armies of Persia, Caesar moved from Hims to Aelia (Bait al-Maqdis) for thanking Allah as He granted him victory. In this hadith these words occur: From Muhammad, servant of Allah and His Messenger, and said: The sin of your followers, and also said the words: to the call of Islam .

— This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Shihab with the same chain of transmitters but with the addition

حَدَّثَنِي يُوسُفُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْمَعْنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ: «أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَبَ إِلَى كِسْرَى، وَإِلَى قَيْصَرَ، وَإِلَى النَّجَاشِيِّ، وَإِلَى كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى»، وَلَيْسَ بِالنَّجَاشِيِّ الَّذِي صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

The Prophet of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) wrote to Chosroes (King of Persia), Caesar (Emperor of Rome), Negus (King of Abyssinia) and every (other) despot inviting them to Allah, the Exalted. And this Negus was not the one for whom the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) had said the funeral prayers.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Anas رضی اللہ عنہ

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الرُّزِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِهِ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ وَلَيْسَ بِالنَّجَاشِيِّ الَّذِي صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

And he was not the Negus for whom the Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) had said the funeral prayers.

— The tradition has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ (the same narrator) through a different chain of transmitters, but this version does not mention

وحَدَّثَنِيهِ نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ وَلَيْسَ بِالنَّجَاشِيِّ الَّذِي صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

That was not the Negus for whom the prophet ﷺ offered the funeral prayer ( similar report as no. 4609).

— It was narrated from Qatadah, from Anas رضی اللہ عنہ (a similar report as no. 4609), but he did not say

وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ، فَلَزِمْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ نُفَارِقْهُ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ لَهُ بَيْضَاءَ أَهْدَاهَا لَهُ فَرْوَةُ بْنُ نُفَاثَةَ الْجُذَامِيُّ، فَلَمَّا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْكُفَّارُ وَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ، فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْكُضُ بَغْلَتَهُ قِبَلَ الْكُفَّارِ، قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِ بَغْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكُفُّهَا إِرَادَةَ أَنْ لَا تُسْرِعَ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ آخِذٌ بِرِكَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيْ عَبَّاسُ، نَادِ أَصْحَابَ السَّمُرَةِ»، فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ: وَكَانَ رَجُلًا صَيِّتًا، فَقُلْتُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِي: أَيْنَ أَصْحَابُ السَّمُرَةِ؟ قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ، لَكَأَنَّ عَطْفَتَهُمْ حِينَ سَمِعُوا صَوْتِي عَطْفَةُ الْبَقَرِ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا، فَقَالُوا: يَا لَبَّيْكَ، يَا لَبَّيْكَ، قَالَ: فَاقْتَتَلُوا وَالْكُفَّارَ، وَالدَّعْوَةُ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ يَقُولُونَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ، يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قُصِرَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ عَلَى بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، فَقَالُوا: يَا بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، يَا بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ كَالْمُتَطَاوِلِ عَلَيْهَا إِلَى قِتَالِهِمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «هَذَا حِينَ حَمِيَ الْوَطِيسُ» قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَصَيَاتٍ فَرَمَى بِهِنَّ وُجُوهَ الْكُفَّارِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «انْهَزَمُوا وَرَبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ» قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ أَنْظُرُ فَإِذَا الْقِتَالُ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ فِيمَا أَرَى، قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ، مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَمَاهُمْ بِحَصَيَاتِهِ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَرَى حَدَّهُمْ كَلِيلًا، وَأَمْرَهُمْ مُدْبِرًا.

I was in the company of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) on the Day of Hunain. I and Abu Sufyan bin Harith bin 'Abdul-Muttalib رضی اللہ عنہ stuck to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and we did not separate from him. And the Messenger of Allah (may place be upon him) was riding on his white mule which had been presented to him by Farwa bin Nufitha al-Judhami. When the Muslims had an encounter with the disbelievers, the Muslims fled, falling back, but the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) began to spur his mule towards the disbelievers. I was holding the bridle of the mule of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) checking it from going very fast, and Abu Sufyan رضی اللہ عنہ was holding the stirrup of the (mule of the) Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌), who said: Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ , call out to the people of al-Samura. Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ (who was a man with a loud voice) called out at the top of the voice: Where are the people of Samura? (Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ said: ) And by God, when they heard my voice, they came back (to us) as cows come back to their calves, and said: We are present, we are present! 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ said: They began to fight the infidels. Then there was a call to The Ansar. Those (who called out to them) shouted: O ye party of the Ansar! O party of the Ansar! Banu al-Harith b. al-Khazraj were the last to be called. Those (who called out to them) shouted: O Banu Al-Harith bin al-Khazraj! O Banu Harith bin al-Khazraj! And the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) who was riding on his mule looked at their fight with his neck stretched forward and he said: This is the time when the fight is raging hot. Then the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) took (some) pebbles and threw them in the face of the infidels. Then he said: By the Lord of Muhammad, the infidels are defeated. 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ said: I went round and saw that the battle was in the same condition in which I had seen it. By Allah, it remained in the same condition until he threw the pebbles. I continued to watch until I found that their force had been spent out and they began to retreat.

— It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ who said

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فَرْوَةُ بْنُ نُعَامَةَ الْجُذَامِيُّ، وَقَالَ: «انْهَزَمُوا وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ، انْهَزَمُوا وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ»، وَزَادَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ حَتَّى هَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ، قَالَ: وَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْكُضُ خَلْفَهُمْ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ.

They have been defeated, by Lord of the Ka'ba, they have been defeated, by Lord of the Ka'ba. And there is at the end the addition of the words: Until Allah defeated them (and I imagine) as if I saw the Prophet of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) chasing them on his mule.

— A similar report (as no.4612) was narrated from Az-Zuhri with this chain except that he said

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ حَدِيثَ يُونُسَ، وَحَدِيثَ مَعْمَرٍ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهُ وَأَتَمُّ.

I was with Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) on the Day of Hunain. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this variation that the hadith transmitted by Yonus and Ma'mar is more detailed and complete.

— Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلْبَرَاءِ: يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ، أَفَرَرْتُمْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ؟ قَالَ: لَا وَاللهِ، مَا وَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ خَرَجَ شُبَّانُ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَأَخِفَّاؤُهُمْ حُسَّرًا، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ سِلَاحٌ - أَوْ كَثِيرُ سِلَاحٍ -، فَلَقُوا قَوْمًا رُمَاةً لَا يَكَادُ يَسْقُطُ لَهُمْ سَهْمٌ، جَمْعَ هَوَازِنَ وَبَنِي نَصْرٍ، فَرَشَقُوهُمْ رَشْقًا مَا يَكَادُونَ يُخْطِئُونَ، فَأَقْبَلُوا هُنَاكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَقُودُ بِهِ، فَنَزَلَ فَاسْتَنْصَرَ، وَقَالَ: «أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ، أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ»، ثُمَّ صَفَّهُمْ.

A man asked Bara' (bin 'Azib) رضی اللہ عنہ : Did you run away on the Day of Hunain. O, Abu Umira? He said: No, by Allah, The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) did not turn his back; (what actually happened was that) some young men from among his companions, who were hasty and who were either without any arms or did not have abundant arms, advanced and met a party of archers (who were so good shots) that their arrows never missed the mark. This party (of archers) belonged to Banu Hawazin and Banu Nadir. They shot at the advancing young men and their arrows were not likely to miss their targets. So these young men turned to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) while he was riding on his white mule and Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith bin 'Abdul-Muttalib رضی اللہ عنہ was leading him. (At this) he got down from his mule, invoked God's help, and called out: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am the son of 'Abdul-Muttalib. Then he deployed his men into battle array.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq who said

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَنَابٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى الْبَرَاءِ، فَقَالَ: أَكُنْتُمْ وَلَّيْتُمْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ؟ فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا وَلَّى، وَلَكِنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ أَخِفَّاءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَحُسَّرٌ إِلَى هَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ، وَهُمْ قَوْمٌ رُمَاةٌ، فَرَمَوْهُمْ بِرِشْقٍ مِنْ نَبْلٍ كَأَنَّهَا رِجْلٌ مِنْ جَرَادٍ، فَانْكَشَفُوا، فَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ يَقُودُ بِهِ بَغْلَتَهُ، فَنَزَلَ وَدَعَا وَاسْتَنْصَرَ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ، أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ، اللهُمَّ نَزِّلْ نَصْرَكَ»، قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ: «كُنَّا وَاللهِ إِذَا احْمَرَّ الْبَأْسُ نَتَّقِي بِهِ، وَإِنَّ الشُّجَاعَ مِنَّا لَلَّذِي يُحَاذِي بِهِ، يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

A person said to Bara' (bin 'Azib) رضی اللہ عنہ : Abu Umara, did you flee on the Day of Hunain? He replied: The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) did not retreat. (What actually happened was that some hasty young men who were either inadequately armed or were unarmed met a group of men from Banu Hawazin and Banu Nadir who happened to be (excellent) archers. The latter shot at them a volley of arrows that did not miss. The people turned to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). Abu Sufyan bin Harith رضی اللہ عنہ was leading his mule. So he got down, prayed and invoked God's help. He said: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib. O God, descend Thy help. Bara' رضی اللہ عنہ continued: When the battle grew fierce. we, by God. would seek protection by his side, and the bravest among us was he who confronted the onslaught and it was the Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ).

— It has been narrated (through a different chain of transmitters) by Abu Ishaq

وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ، وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَيْسٍ، أَفَرَرْتُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ؟ فَقَالَ الْبَرَاءُ: وَلَكِنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَفِرَّ، وَكَانَتْ هَوَازِنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ رُمَاةً، وَإِنَّا لَمَّا حَمَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمِ انْكَشَفُوا، فَأَكْبَبْنَا عَلَى الْغَنَائِمِ، فَاسْتَقْبَلُونَا بِالسِّهَامِ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، وَإِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ، أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ.

I heard from Bara' رضی اللہ عنہ who was asked by a man from the Qais tribe: Did you run away from the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) on the Day of Hunain? Bara' رضی اللہ عنہ said: But the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) did not run away. On that day Banu Hawzzin took part in the battle as archers (on the side of the disbelievers). When we attacked them, they retreated and we fell upon the booty; (they rallied) and advanced towards us with arrows. (At that time) I saw the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) riding on his white mule and Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith رضی اللہ عنہ was holding its bridle. He (the Messenger of Allah was saying: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am a descendant of 'Abdul-Muttalib.

— It was narrator that Abu Ishaq said

وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَهُوَ أَقَلُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِمْ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ أَتَمُّ حَدِيثًا.

A man said to Al-Bara' رضی اللہ عنہ : O Abu Umarah... and he narrated the same hadith (as no. 4616), but it was less complete than their Hadith.
