وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ - وَنَسَبَهُ غَيْرُ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ -، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ قَاتَلَ أَخِي قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَارْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ سَيْفُهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ، وَشَكُّوا فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ فِي سِلَاحِهِ، وَشَكُّوا فِي بَعْضِ أَمْرِهِ، قَالَ سَلَمَةُ: فَقَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ائْذَنْ لِي أَنْ أَرْجُزَ لَكَ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: أَعْلَمُ مَا تَقُولُ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: [البحر الرجز] وَاللهِ لَوْلَا اللهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا ... وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صَدَقْتَ»، وَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا ، وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا ، وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ رَجَزِي، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قَالَ هَذَا؟» قُلْتُ: قَالَهُ أَخِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَرْحَمُهُ اللهُ»، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ نَاسًا لَيَهَابُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ، يَقُولُونَ: رَجُلٌ مَاتَ بِسِلَاحِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا»، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ ابْنًا لِسَلَمَةَ بْنَ اْلَأكْوَعِ. فَحَدَّثَني عَنْ أَبِيهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - حِينَ قُلْتُ: إِنَّ نَاسًا يَهَابُونَ الصَّلاةَ عَلَيْهِ - فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَذَبُوا مَاتَ جَاهِدًا مُجَاهِدًا، فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ» وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ.

On the day of the Battle of Khaibar my brother fought a fierce fight by the side of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌). His sword rebounded and killed him. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon hill) talked about his death and doubted (whether it was martyrdom). (They said): (He is) a man killed by his own weapon, and expressed doubt about his affair. Salama said: When the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) returned from Khaibar, I said: Messenger of Allah, permit me that I may recite to you some rajaz verses. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) permitted him. 'Umar bin Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ said: I know what you will recite. I recited: By God, if God had guided us not, We would hive neither been guided aright nor practiced charity, Nor offered prayers. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: What you have said is true, 'I (continued): And descend on us peace and tranquillity And keep us steadfast if we encounter (with our enemies) And the polytheists have rebelled against us. When I finished my rajaz, the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: Who composed these verses? I said: They were composed by my brother. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: May God show mercy to him! I said: By God, some people are reluctant to invoke God's mercy on him (because) they say he is a man who died by his own sword. (Hearing this) the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: He died as God's devotee and warrior. Ibn Shihab has said: I asked one of the sons of Salama (bin Akwa') رضی اللہ عنہ about (the death of 'Amir). He related to me a similar tradition except that he said: When I said some people were reluctant invoke God's blessings on him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: They lied. ('Amir رضی اللہ عنہ) died as God's devotee and warrior (in the cause of Allah). For him there is a double reward, and he pointed out this by putting his two fingers together.

— It has been reported on the authority of Salama bin Akwa' رضی اللہ عنہ who said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ يَنْقُلُ مَعَنَا التُّرَابَ، وَلَقَدْ وَارَى التُّرَابُ بَيَاضَ بَطْنِهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا، وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا، فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا، إِنَّ الْأُلَى قَدْ أَبَوْا عَلَيْنَا - قَالَ: وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمَلَا قَدْ أَبَوْا عَلَيْنَا - إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا، وَيَرْفَعُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ.

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was carrying the earth with us on the Day of Ahzab and the whiteness of his belly had been covered with earth. (While engaged in this toil) he was reciting: By God, if Thou hadst not guided us We would have neither been guided aright nor practiced charity, Nor offered prayers. Descend on us peace and tranquillity. Behold I these people (the Meccans) refused to follow us. According to another version, he recited: The chieftains (of the tribes) refused to follow us When they contemplated mischief, we rejected it. And with this (verse) he would raise his voice.

— It has been reported on the authority of Barra' رضی اللہ عنہ who said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا

These people (the Meccans) rebelled against us.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq who said: I heard from Bara' a رضی اللہ عنہ similar tradition except that he said

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَحْفِرُ الْخَنْدَقَ، وَنَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ عَلَى أَكْتَافِنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللهُمَّ، لَا عَيْشَ إِلَّا عَيْشُ الْآخِرَةِ، فَاغْفِرْ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ.

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came to us while we were digging the ditch and were carrying the earth on our shoulders. (Seeing our condition), he said: O God, there is no life but the life of the Hereafter. So forgive Thou the Muhajirs and the Ansar.

— It has been reported on the authority of Sahl bin Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ who said

وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «اللهُمَّ لَا عَيْشَ إِلَّا عَيْشُ الْآخِرَهْ، فَاغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ.

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: O God, there is no life, but the life of the Hereafter, So forgive Thou the Ansar and the Muhajirs.

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

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «اللهُمَّ إِنَّ الْعَيْشَ عَيْشُ الْآخِرَةِ» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: أَو قَالَ:«اللهُمَّ لَا عَيْشَ إِلَّا عَيْشُ الْآخِرَهْ، فَأَكْرِمِ الْأَنْصَارَ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ.

Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ told us: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is reported to have said: O God, there is no life but the life of the Hereafter, So grant honor to the Ansar and the Muhajirs.

— It was narrated from Qatadah

وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَشَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، قَالَ يَحْيَى: أَخْبَرَنَا، وقَالَ شَيْبَانُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: كَانُوا يَرْتَجِزُونَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: اللهُمَّ لَا خَيْرَ إِلَّا خَيْرُ الْآخِرَهْ، فَانْصُرِ الْأَنْصَارَ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ شَيْبَانَ بَدَلَ فَانْصُرْ: فَاغْفِرْ.

They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet ﷺ) were reciting rajaz verses and the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) was (reciting) with them. And they were chanting: O God, there is no good but the good of the Hereafter. So help Thou the Ansar and the Muhajirs. Shaiban substituted So forgive Thou for So help Thou .

— Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ: [البحر الرجز] نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا مُحَمَّدَا ... عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ مَا بَقِينَا أَبَدَا، - أَو قَالَ: عَلَى الْجِهَادِ شَكَّ حَمَّادٌ - وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «اللهُمَّ إِنَّ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرُ الْآخِرَهْ ... فَاغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَالمُهَاجِرَهْ.

The Companions of Muhammad ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) were chanting on the day of the Battle of the Ditch: We are those who have sworn allegiance to Muhammad (And made a covenant with him) to follow Islam as long as we live. Hammad is not sure whether Anas said: Ala'l-Islam or, Ala'l-Jihad . And the Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) was chanting: O God, the real good is the good of the Hereafter, So forgive Thou the Ansar and the Muhajirs.

— It has been narrated (through a still difterent chain of transmitters) by Anas رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ - عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي، عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ الأَكْوَعِ، يَقُولُ خَرَجْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤَذَّنَ، بِالأُولَى وَكَانَتْ لِقَاحُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَرْعَى بِذِي قَرَدٍ - قَالَ - فَلَقِيَنِي غُلاَمٌ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ أُخِذَتْ لِقَاحُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَخَذَهَا قَالَ غَطَفَانُ قَالَ فَصَرَخْتُ ثَلاَثَ صَرَخَاتٍ يَا صَبَاحَاهْ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَسْمَعْتُ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَىِ الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ انْدَفَعْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي حَتَّى أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ بِذِي قَرَدٍ وَقَدْ أَخَذُوا يَسْقُونَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَجَعَلْتُ أَرْمِيهِمْ بِنَبْلِي وَكُنْتُ رَامِيًا وَأَقُولُ أَنَا ابْنُ الأَكْوَعِ وَالْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ الرُّضَّعِ فَأَرْتَجِزُ حَتَّى اسْتَنْقَذْتُ اللِّقَاحَ مِنْهُمْ وَاسْتَلَبْتُ مِنْهُمْ ثَلاَثِينَ بُرْدَةً - قَالَ - وَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَالنَّاسُ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ حَمَيْتُ الْقَوْمَ الْمَاءَ وَهُمْ عِطَاشٌ فَابْعَثْ إِلَيْهِمُ السَّاعَةَ فَقَالَ ‏ ‏ يَا ابْنَ الأَكْوَعِ مَلَكْتَ فَأَسْجِحْ ‏ ‏ ‏.‏ - قَالَ - ثُمَّ رَجَعْنَا وَيُرْدِفُنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ ‏.‏

He heard Salama bin al-Akwa' رضی اللہ عنہ say: I went out before the Adhan for the morning prayer had been delivered. The milch she-camels of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) were grazing at Dhu Qarad. 'Abdul-Rahman bin Auf's slave met me and said: The milch she-camels of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) had been taken away. I said: Who has taken them away? He said: (the people belonging to the tribe of) Ghatafan. I cried thrice: Help! I made the whole city between the two lavas hear my cry. Then I ran straight in their pursuit until I overtook them at Dhu Qarad where they were just going to water their animals. I, being an archer, began to shoot them with my arrows and was saying: I am the son of al-Akwa'. And today is the day when the cowards will meet their doom. I continued to chant until I rescued the milch she-camels from them, and snatched from them thirty mantles. Now, the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and some other people came along. I said: Prophet of Allah, I have prevented them from water while they were thirsty. So you should send a force (to punish them). He (the Holy Prophet) said: Ibn al-Akwa', you have taken (what, you have taken). Now let them go. Then we returned and the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) made me mount behind him on his she-camel until we entered Medina.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Yazid bin Abu 'Ubaid who said

حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ ثَمَانِينَ، رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ هَبَطُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ جَبَلِ التَّنْعِيمِ مُتَسَلِّحِينَ يُرِيدُونَ غِرَّةَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَأَخَذَهُمْ سَلَمًا فَاسْتَحْيَاهُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏ وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَفَّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَنْ أَظْفَرَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ‏}‏.

Eighty Persons from the inhabitants of Mecca swooped down upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) from the mountain of Tan'im. They were armed and wanted to attack the Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions unawares. He (the Holy Prophet) captured them but spared their lives. So, God, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed the verses: " It is He Who restrained your hands from them and their hands from you in the valley of Mecca after He had given you a victory over them."

— It has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik رضی اﷲ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ اتَّخَذَتْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ خِنْجَرًا، فَكَانَ مَعَهَا، فَرَآهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذِهِ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ مَعَهَا خِنْجَرٌ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا هَذَا الْخِنْجَرُ؟» قَالَتْ: اتَّخَذْتُهُ إِنْ: دَنَا مِنِّي أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، بَقَرْتُ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضْحَكُ، قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اقْتُلْ مَنْ بَعْدَنَا مِنَ الطُّلَقَاءِ انْهَزَمُوا بِكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ، إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ كَفَى وَأَحْسَنَ.

On the Day of Hunain. Umm Sulaim رضی اللہ عنہا took out a dagger she had in her possession. Abu Talha رضی اللہ عنہ saw her and said: Messenger of Allah, this is Umm Sulaim رضی اللہ عنہا . She is holding a dagger. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) asked (her): What for are you holding this dagger? She said: I took it up so that I may tear open the belly of a polytheist who comes near me. The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) began to smile (at these words). She said: Messenger of Allah, kill all those people-other than us-whom thou hast declared to be free (on the day of the Conquest of Mecca). (They embraced Islam because) they were defeated at your hands (and as such their Islam is not dependable). The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: Umm Sulaim. God is sufficient (against the mischief of the polytheists) and He will be kind to us (so you need not carry this dagger).

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

وحَدَّثَنِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فِي قِصَّةِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ ثَابِتٍ.

A Hadith like that of Thabit (no.4680) was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ concerning the story of Umm Sulaim nd the prophet ﷺ.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْزُو بِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ وَنِسْوَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَعَهُ إِذَا غَزَا، فَيَسْقِينَ الْمَاءَ، وَيُدَاوِينَ الْجَرْحَى.

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) allowed Umm Sulaim رضی اللہ عنہا and some other women of the Ansar to accompany him when he went to war; they would give water (to the soldiers) and would treat the wounded.

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

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَهُوَ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: «لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ انْهَزَمَ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُجَوِّبٌ عَلَيْهِ بِحَجَفَةٍ»، قَالَ: «وَكَانَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ رَجُلًا رَامِيًا، شَدِيدَ النَّزْعِ، وَكَسَرَ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا»، قَالَ: فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَمُرُّ مَعَهُ الْجَعْبَةُ مِنَ النَّبْلِ، فَيَقُولُ: انْثُرْهَا لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، قَالَ: وَيُشْرِفُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ، فَيَقُولُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، لَا تُشْرِفْ، لَا يُصِبْكَ سَهْمٌ مِنْ سِهَامِ الْقَوْمِ، نَحْرِي دُونَ نَحْرِكَ ، قَالَ: «وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَأُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَمُشَمِّرَتَانِ، أَرَى خَدَمَ سُوقِهِمَا، تَنْقُلَانِ الْقِرَبَ عَلَى مُتُونِهِمَا، ثُمَّ تُفْرِغَانِهِ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ، ثُمَّ تَرْجِعَانِ فَتَمْلَآَنِهَا، ثُمَّ تَجِيئَانِ تُفْرِغَانِهِ فِي أَفْوَاهِ الْقَوْمِ، وَلَقَدْ وَقَعَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدَيْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِمَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَإِمَّا ثَلَاثًا مِنَ النُّعَاسِ.

On the Day of Uhud some of the people, being defeated, left the Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), but Abu Talha رضی اللہ عنہ stood before him covering him with a shield. Abu Talha رضی اللہ عنہ was a powerful archer who broke two or three bows that day. When a man would pass by carrying a quiver containing arrows, he would say: Spare them for Abu Talha. Whenever the Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) raised his head to look at the people, Abu Talha رضی اللہ عنہ would say: Prophet of Allah, may my father and my mother be thy ransom, do not raise your head lest you be struck by an arrow shot by the enemy. My neck is before your neck. The narrator said: I saw `A'isha bint Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہا and Umm Sulaim رضی اللہ عنہا . Both of them had tucked up their garments, so I could see the anklets on their feet. They were carrying water-skins on their backs and would pour water into the mouths of the people. They would then go back (to the well), would fill them again and would return to pour water into the mouths of the soldiers. (On this day), Abu Talha's sword dropped down from his hands twice or thrice because of drowsiness.

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

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، أَنَّ نَجْدَةَ، كَتَبَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ، عَنْ خَمْسِ خِلَالٍ، فَقَالَ: ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: لَوْلَا أَنْ أَكْتُمَ عِلْمًا مَا كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ، كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ نَجْدَةُ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْزُو بِالنِّسَاءِ؟ وَهَلْ كَانَ يَضْرِبُ لَهُنَّ بِسَهْمٍ؟ وَهَلْ كَانَ يَقْتُلُ الصِّبْيَانَ؟ وَمَتَى يَنْقَضِي يُتْمُ الْيَتِيمِ؟ وَعَنِ الْخُمْسِ لِمَنْ هُوَ؟ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: كَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْزُو بِالنِّسَاءِ؟ وَقَدْ كَانَ يَغْزُو بِهِنَّ، فَيُدَاوِينَ الْجَرْحَى، وَيُحْذَيْنَ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ، وَأَمَّا بِسَهْمٍ فَلَمْ يَضْرِبْ لَهُنَّ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْتُلُ الصِّبْيَانَ، فَلَا تَقْتُلِ الصِّبْيَانَ، وَكَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي مَتَى يَنْقَضِي يُتْمُ الْيَتِيمِ؟ فَلَعَمْرِي، إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَتَنْبُتُ لِحْيَتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَضَعِيفُ الْأَخْذِ لِنَفْسِهِ، ضَعِيفُ الْعَطَاءِ مِنْهَا، فَإِذَا أَخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ صَالِحِ مَا يَأْخُذُ النَّاسُ فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْيُتْمُ، وَكَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْخُمْسِ لِمَنْ هُوَ؟ وَإِنَّا كُنَّا نَقُولُ: هُوَ لَنَا، فَأَبَى عَلَيْنَا قَوْمُنَا ذَاكَ.

Najda wrote to Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ inquiring of him five things. Ibn Abbas said: If I had not the fear of committing (sin) for concealing the knowledge I would not have written to him. Najda wrote to him saying (after praising the Almighty and invoking blessings on the Prophet): Tell me whether the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) took women to participate with him in Jihad; (if he did), whether he allotted them a regular share from the booty; whether he killed the children of (the enemy in the war), how long an orphan would be entitled to consideration as such, and for whom the Khums (fifth part of the booty) was booty. Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ wrote to him: You have written asking me whether the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) took women with him to participate in Jihad. He did take them to the battle and sometimes he fought along with them. They would treat the wounded and were given a reward from the booty, but he did not assign any regular share for them. And the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) did not kill the children of the enemy, so you should not kill the children. Also you have written to me asking me when the orphanhood of an orphan comes to an end. By my life, if a man has become bearded but is still incapable of getting his due from others or fulfilling his obligation towards them, (he is yet an orphan to be treated as such), but when he can look after his interests like grown-up people, he is no longer an orphan. And you have written to me inquiring about Khums as to whom it is meant for. (In this connection) we (the kinsmen of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ) used to say: It is for us, but those people (i.e. Banu Umayya) have denied it to us.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Yazid bin Hurmuz

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ حَاتِمِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، أَنَّ نَجْدَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ خِلَالٍ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ حَاتِمٍ: وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْتُلُ الصِّبْيَانَ، فَلَا تَقْتُلِ الصِّبْيَانَ، إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ تَعْلَمُ مَا عَلِمَ الْخَضِرُ مِنَ الصَّبِيِّ الَّذِي قَتَلَ ، وَزَادَ إِسْحَاقُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ، عَنْ حَاتِمٍ، وَتُمَيِّزَ الْمُؤْمِنَ، فَتَقْتُلَ الْكَافِرَ، وَتَدَعَ الْمُؤْمِنَ.

"Najd wrote to Ibn Abbas and asked him about some things... A hadith like that of Sulaiman bin bilal (no. 4684), except that in the hadith of Hatim it says: The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) used not to kill the children, so thou shouldst not kill them unless you could know what Khadir had known about the child he killed, or you could distinguish between a child who would grow up to he a believer (and a child who would grow up to be a non-believer), so that you killed the (prospective) non-believer and left the (prospective) believer aside.

— It was narrated from Yazid bin Hurmuz said

وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْحَرُورِيُّ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ، عَنِ الْعَبْدِ وَالْمَرْأَةِ يَحْضُرَانِ الْمَغْنَمَ، هَلْ يُقْسَمُ لَهُمَا؟ وَعَنْ قَتْلِ الْوِلْدَانِ؟ وَعَنِ الْيَتِيمِ مَتَى يَنْقَطِعُ عَنْهُ الْيُتْمُ؟ وَعَنْ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى مَنْ هُمْ؟ فَقَالَ لِيَزِيدَ: اكْتُبْ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَوْلَا أَنْ يَقَعَ فِي أُحْمُوقَةٍ مَا كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ، اكْتُبْ: «إِنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْعَبْدِ يَحْضُرَانِ الْمَغْنَمَ، هَلْ يُقْسَمُ لَهُمَا شَيْءٌ؟ وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يُحْذَيَا، وَكَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ قَتْلِ الْوِلْدَانِ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَقْتُلْهُمْ، وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تَقْتُلْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَعْلَمَ مِنْهُمْ مَا عَلِمَ صَاحِبُ مُوسَى مِنَ الْغُلَامِ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ، وَكَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنِ الْيَتِيمِ مَتَى يَنْقَطِعُ عَنْهُ اسْمُ الْيُتْمِ؟ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ عَنْهُ اسْمُ الْيُتْمِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ وَيُؤْنَسَ مِنْهُ رُشْدٌ، وَكَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى مَنْ هُمْ؟ وَإِنَّا زَعَمْنَا أَنَّا هُمْ، فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا قَوْمُنَا.

Najda bin 'Amir al-Haruri wrote to Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ asking him about the slave and the woman as to whether they would get a share from the booty (it they participated in Jihad) ; about the killing of (enemy) children (in war) ; about the orphan as to when his orphanhood comes to an end; about kinsmen (of the Holy Prophet) as to who they are. He said to Yazid: Write to him. (If he were not likely to fall into folly, I would not have written to him.) Write: You have written asking about the woman and the slave whether they would get a share of the booty if they participated in Jihad. (You should know that) there is nothing of the sort for them except that they will be given a prize. And you have written asking me about the killing of the enemy children in war. (You should understand that) the Messenger of Allah (may peare be upon him) did not kill them. and thou shouldst not kill them unless thou knew what the companion of Moses (i. e. Khadir) knew about the boy he had killed. And you have written asking me about the orphan as to when the period of his orphanhood comes to an end, so that the sobriquet of orphan is dropped from him. (In this regard, you should know that) the sobriquet orphan will not be dropped from him until he attains maturity of body and mind. And you have written asking me about the close relatives (of the Holy Prophet) as to who they are. We think that it is we, but our people have denied us this (position and its concomitant privileges).

— It has been narrated on the authority of Yazid bin Hurmuz who said

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِهِ. قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِطُولِهِ.

It was narrated that Yazid bin Hurmuz said: Najdah wrote to Ibn Abbas..." and he quoted a similar Hadith (no. 4684). Abu Ishaq said: 'Abdur Rehman bin Bishr narrated: Sufyan narrated this Hadith, in full.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَيْسًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: فَشَهِدْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حِينَ قَرَأَ كِتَابَهُ، وَحِينَ كَتَبَ جَوَابَهُ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: وَاللهِ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَرُدَّهُ عَنْ نَتْنٍ يَقَعُ فِيهِ مَا كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ، وَلَا نُعْمَةَ عَيْنٍ، قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ: «إِنَّكَ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ سَهْمِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللهُ مَنْ هُمْ؟ وَإِنَّا كُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّ قَرَابَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُمْ نَحْنُ، فَأَبَى ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا قَوْمُنَا، وَسَأَلْتَ عَنِ الْيَتِيمِ مَتَى يَنْقَضِي يُتْمُهُ؟ وَإِنَّهُ إِذَا بَلَغَ النِّكَاحَ، وَأُونِسَ مِنْهُ رُشْدٌ، وَدُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ مَالُهُ، فَقَدِ انْقَضَى يُتْمُهُ، وَسَأَلْتَ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْتُلُ مِنْ صِبْيَانِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَحَدًا؟ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْتُلُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا، وَأَنْتَ فَلَا تَقْتُلْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا، إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ تَعْلَمُ مِنْهُمْ مَا عَلِمَ الْخَضِرُ مِنَ الْغُلَامِ حِينَ قَتَلَهُ، وَسَأَلْتَ عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْعَبْدِ هَلْ كَانَ لَهُمَا سَهْمٌ مَعْلُومٌ إِذَا حَضَرُوا الْبَأْسَ؟ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ سَهْمٌ مَعْلُومٌ، إِلَّا أَنْ يُحْذَيَا مِنْ غَنَائِمِ الْقَوْمِ.

Najda wrote to Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ . I was sitting in the company of Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ when he read his letter and wrote its reply. Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ said: Were it not for preventing him from falling into wickedness. I would not have replied to his letter, may he never be joyful. He wrote in reply to him referring to the share of the close relatives (of the Holy Prophet) (from the booty) whom God has mentioned. (I have to tell you that) we thought we were the close relatives of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌), but our people have refused to recognize us as such. You have asked about the orphan as to when his orphanhood comes to an end. (I have to say that) when he reaches the age of marriage, attains maturity of mind, and his property is returned to him, then he is no longer an orphan. You have inquired whether the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upo him) used to kill anyone from the children of the polytheists in the war. (You should know that) the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) used not to kill any one of their children, and you (too) should not kill any one of them, except when you knew about them what Khadir had known about the boy whom he killed. And you have inquired whether there is a fixed share of the booty for women and slaves when they participate in a battle. (I have to tell you that) there is no fixed share for them except that they will be given some reward from the spoils of war.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Yazid bin Hurmuz who said

وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ نَجْدَةُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَذَكَرَ بَعْضَ الْحَدِيثِ، وَلَمْ يُتِمَّ الْقِصَّةَ كَإِتْمَامِ مَنْ ذَكَرْنَا حَدِيثَهُمْ.

It was narrated that Yazid bin Hurmuz said: 'Najdah wrote to Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ ..." and he mention part of the Hadith but he did not narrate it in full, like the Hadith we have mention above.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ، قَالَتْ: «غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ، أَخْلُفُهُمْ فِي رِحَالِهِمْ، فَأَصْنَعُ لَهُمُ الطَّعَامَ، وَأُدَاوِي الْجَرْحَى، وَأَقُومُ عَلَى الْمَرْضَى.

I took part with the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) in seven battles. I would stay behind in the camp of men, cook their food, treat the wounded and nurse the sick.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Umm 'Atiyya, the Ansarite رضی اللہ عنہا , who said

وحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ.

A similar tradition has been narrated on the authority of Hisham bin Hassan through a different chain of transmitters.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، خَرَجَ يَسْتَسْقِي بِالنَّاسِ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَسْقَى، قَالَ: فَلَقِيتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ، وَقَالَ: لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ غَيْرُ رَجُلٍ - أَوْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ رَجُلٌ - قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: كَمْ غَزَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: «تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ»، فَقُلْتُ: كَمْ غَزَوْتَ أَنْتَ مَعَهُ؟ قَالَ: «سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ غَزْوَةً»، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: فَمَا أَوَّلُ غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا؟ قَالَ: «ذَاتُ الْعُسَيْرِ أَوِ الْعُشَيْرِ.

'Abdullah bin Yazid went (out of the city) with people for offering Istisqa ' prayer (for rainfall). He offered two rak'ahs. Then he prayed for rain. That day I met Zaid bin Arqam رضی اللہ عنہ . There was only one man between me and him (at that time). I asked him: How many military expeditions did the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) undertake? He said: Nineteen expeditions. I asked him: On how many expeditions did you accompany him? He said: On seventeen expeditions. I asked: Which was the first expedition he led? He answered: Dhat-ul-Usair or 'Ushair.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْهُ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزَا تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ غَزْوَةً، وَحَجَّ بَعْدَ مَا هَاجَرَ حَجَّةً لَمْ يَحُجَّ غَيْرَهَا، حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ.

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) fought nineteen battles and after the Migration performed only one Pilgrimage called Hajjat-ul-Wada'.

— It has been narrated on the authority of Zaid bin Arqam رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، يَقُولُ: «غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ غَزْوَةً»، قَالَ جَابِرٌ: «لَمْ أَشْهَدْ بَدْرًا، وَلَا أُحُدًا مَنَعَنِي أَبِي، فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، لَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ قَطُّ.

I fought in the company of the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) nineteen battles. Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ said: I did not participate in the Battle of Badr and the Battle of Uhud. My father prevented me (from participating in these battles as my age was tender). After `Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ (my father) was killed on the Day of Uhud, I never lagged behind the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and joined every battle (he fought).

— It has been reported on the authority of Abu Zubair who heard Jabir bin `Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ say
