حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، فِي هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ - وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ - قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ - عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ مِسْمَارٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: أَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ سَعْدًا فَقَالَ: مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَسُبَّ أَبَا التُّرَابِ؟ فَقَالَ: أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُ ثَلَاثًا قَالَهُنَّ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَنْ أَسُبَّهُ، لَأَنْ تَكُونَ لِي وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَهُ، خَلَّفَهُ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَلَّفْتَنِي مَعَ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى؟ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نُبُوَّةَ بَعْدِي» وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» قَالَ فَتَطَاوَلْنَا لَهَا فَقَالَ: «ادْعُوا لِي عَلِيًّا» فَأُتِيَ بِهِ أَرْمَدَ، فَبَصَقَ فِي عَيْنِهِ وَدَفَعَ الرَّايَةَ إِلَيْهِ، فَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ} [آل عمران: 61] دَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيًّا وَفَاطِمَةَ وَحَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلِي».

Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan رضی اللہ عنہ appointed Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ as the Governor and said: What prevents you from abusing Abu Turab (Hadrat 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ ), whereupon be said: It is because of three things which I remember Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) having said about him that I would not abuse him and even if I find one of those three things for me, it would be more dear to me than the red camels. I heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) say about 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ as he left him behind in one of his campaigns (that was Tabuk). 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ said to him: Allah's Messenger, you leave me behind along with women and children. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said to him: Aren't you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses but with this exception that there is no prophethood after me. And I (also) heard him say on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person who loves Allah and his Messenger, and Allah and his Messenger love him too. He (the narrator) said: We had been anxiously waiting for it, when he (the Holy Prophet) said: Call 'Ali. He was called and his eyes were inflamed. He applied saliva to his eyes and handed over the standard to him, and Allah gave him victory. (The third occasion is this) when the (following) verse was revealed: Let us summon our children and your children. Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) called 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ , Fatima رضی اللہ عنہا, Hasan رضی اللہ عنہ and Husain رضی اللہ عنہ and said: O Allah, they are my family.

— Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas reported on the authority of his father

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى؟»

Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying to 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ : Aren't you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses?

— Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيَّ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ: «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ هَذِهِ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ» قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: مَا أَحْبَبْتُ الْإِمَارَةَ إِلَّا يَوْمَئِذٍ، قَالَ فَتَسَاوَرْتُ لَهَا رَجَاءَ أَنْ أُدْعَى لَهَا، قَالَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا، وَقَالَ: «امْشِ، وَلَا تَلْتَفِتْ، حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْكَ» قَالَ فَسَارَ عَلِيٌّ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ وَقَفَ وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ، فَصَرَخَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلَى مَاذَا أُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: «قَاتِلْهُمْ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ مَنَعُوا مِنْكَ دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ، إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ».

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said on the Day of Khaibar: I shall certainly give this standard in the hand of one who loves Allah and his Messenger and Allah will grant victory at his hand. Umar bin Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ said: Never did I cherish for leadership but on that day. I came before him with the hope that I may be called for this, but Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) called 'Ali bin Abu Talib رضی اللہ عنہ and he conferred (this honour) upon him and said: Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory, and 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: Allah's Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people? Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, and when they do that then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands but what is justified by law and their reckoning is with Allah.

— Suhail reported on the authority of Abu Huraira رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ هَذَا - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ: «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ هَذِهِ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» قَالَ: فَبَاتَ النَّاسُ يَدُوكُونَ لَيْلَتَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ يُعْطَاهَا، قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ غَدَوْا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كُلُّهُمْ يَرْجُونَ أَنْ يُعْطَاهَا، فَقَالَ أَيْنَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالُوا: هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَيْهِ، قَالَ فَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ، فَبَصَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ، وَدَعَا لَهُ فَبَرَأَ، حَتَّى كَأَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ وَجَعٌ، فَأَعْطَاهُ الرَّايَةَ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُقَاتِلُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مِثْلَنَا، فَقَالَ: «انْفُذْ عَلَى رِسْلِكَ، حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ حَقِّ اللهِ فِيهِ، فَوَاللهِ لَأَنْ يَهْدِيَ اللهُ بِكَ رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ».

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person at whose hand Allah would grant victory and who loves Allah and His Messenger and Allah and His Messenger love him also. The people spent the night thinking as to whom it would be given. When it was morning the people hastened to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) all of them hoping that that would be given to him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Where is 'Ali bin Abu Talib? They said: Allah's Messenger, his eyes are sore. He then sent for him and he was brought and Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) applied saliva to his eyes and invoked blessings and he was all right, as if he had no ailment at all, and conferred upon him the standard. 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ said: Allah's Messenger, I will fight them until they are like us. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Advance cautiously until you reach their open places, thereafter invite them to Islam and inform them what is obligatory for them from the rights of Allah, for, by Allah, if Allah guides aright even one person through you that is better for you than to possess the most valuable of the camels.

— Sahl bin Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيٌّ قَدْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فِي خَيْبَرَ وَكَانَ رَمِدًا، فَقَالَ: أَنَا أَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ فَلَحِقَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مَسَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي فَتَحَهَا اللهُ فِي صَبَاحِهَا. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ، أَوْ لَيَأْخُذَنَّ بِالرَّايَةِ غَدًا رَجُلٌ يُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، أَوْ قَالَ يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، يَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ» فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِعَلِيٍّ، وَمَا نَرْجُوهُ. فَقَالُوا: هَذَا عَلِيٌّ، فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّايَةَ. فَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ.

It was 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ whom Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) left behind him (in the charge of his family and the Islamic State) on the occasion of the campaign of Khaibar, and his eyes were inflamed and he said: Is it for me to remain behind Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌)? So he went forth and rejoined Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and on the evening of that night (after which) next morning Allah granted victory. Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: I will certainly give this standard to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love. or he said: Who loves Allah or His Messenger and Allah will grant him victory through him, and, lo, we saw 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ whom we least expected (to be present on that occasion). They (the Companions) said: Here is 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ . Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave him the standard. Allah granted victory at his hand.

— Salama bin Akwa' رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَشُجَاعُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَيَّانَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، قَالَ: انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَحُصَيْنُ بْنُ سَبْرَةَ، وَعُمَرُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، فَلَمَّا جَلَسْنَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ حُصَيْنٌ: لَقَدْ لَقِيتَ يَا زَيْدُ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَسَمِعْتَ حَدِيثَهُ، وَغَزَوْتَ مَعَهُ، وَصَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَهُ لَقَدْ لَقِيتَ، يَا زَيْدُ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا، حَدِّثْنَا يَا زَيْدُ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي وَاللهِ لَقَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي، وَقَدُمَ عَهْدِي، وَنَسِيتُ بَعْضَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَعِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَمَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا، وَمَا لَا، فَلَا تُكَلِّفُونِيهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فِينَا خَطِيبًا، بِمَاءٍ يُدْعَى خُمًّا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، وَوَعَظَ وَذَكَّرَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، أَلَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ رَسُولُ رَبِّي فَأُجِيبَ، وَأَنَا تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ ثَقَلَيْنِ: أَوَّلُهُمَا كِتَابُ اللهِ فِيهِ الْهُدَى وَالنُّورُ فَخُذُوا بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، وَاسْتَمْسِكُوا بِهِ فَحَثَّ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ وَرَغَّبَ فِيهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِي أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي، أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي، أُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي» فَقَالَ لَهُ حُصَيْنٌ: وَمَنْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ؟ يَا زَيْدُ أَلَيْسَ نِسَاؤُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ؟ قَالَ: نِسَاؤُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، وَلَكِنْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ مَنْ حُرِمَ الصَّدَقَةَ بَعْدَهُ، قَالَ: وَمَنْ هُمْ؟ قَالَ: هُمْ آلُ عَلِيٍّ وَآلُ عَقِيلٍ، وَآلُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَآلُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ حُرِمَ الصَّدَقَةَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ

Yazid b. Hayyan reported, I went along with Husain b. Sabra and 'Umar b. Muslim to Zaid b. Arqam and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him: Zaid. you have been able to acquire a great virtue that you saw Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different) battles, offered prayer behind me. Zaid, you have in fact earned a great virtue. Zaid, narrate to us what you heard from Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). He said: I have grown old and have almost spent my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), so accept whatever I narrate to you, and which I do not narrate do not compel me to do that. He then said: One day Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) stood up to deliver sermon at a watering place known as Khumm situated between Mecca and Medina. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the sermon and. exhorted (us) and said: Now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in response to Allah's call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it. He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family. He (Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren't his wives the members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his family (but here) the members of his family are those for whom acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. And he said: Who are they? Thereupon he said: 'Ali and the offspring of 'Ali, 'Aqil and the offspring of 'Aqil and the offspring of Ja'far and the offspring of 'Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom the acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes.

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارِ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ، بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ زُهَيْرٍ.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zaid bin Arqam رضی اللہ عنہ through another chain of transmitters.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، كِلَاهُمَا، عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ «كِتَابُ اللهِ فِيهِ الْهُدَى وَالنُّورُ، مَنِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِهِ، وَأَخَذَ بِهِ، كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى، وَمَنْ أَخْطَأَهُ، ضَلَّ».

The Book of Allah contains right guidance, the light, and whoever adheres to it and holds it fast, he is upon right guidance and whosoever deviates from it goes astray.

— This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Hayyan but with this addition

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارِ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتَ خَيْرًا، لَقَدْ صَاحَبْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَلَّيْتَ خَلْفَهُ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي حَيَّانَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَلَا وَإِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ ثَقَلَيْنِ: أَحَدُهُمَا كِتَابُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، هُوَ حَبْلُ اللهِ، مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ كَانَ عَلَى الْهُدَى، وَمَنْ تَرَكَهُ كَانَ عَلَى ضَلَالَةٍ وَفِيهِ فَقُلْنَا: مَنْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ؟ نِسَاؤُهُ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَايْمُ اللهِ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تَكُونُ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ الْعَصْرَ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ، ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا فَتَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَبِيهَا وَقَوْمِهَا أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ أَصْلُهُ، وَعَصَبَتُهُ الَّذِينَ حُرِمُوا الصَّدَقَةَ بَعْدَهُ

We went to him (Zaid bin Arqam رضی اللہ عنہ) and said to him. You have found goodness (for you had the honour) to live in the company of Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and offered prayer behind him, and the rest of the hadith is the same but with this variation of wording that lie said: Behold, for I am leaving amongst you two weighty things, one of which is the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, and that is the rope of Allah. He who holds it fast would be on right guidance and he who abandons it would be in error, and in this (hadith) these words are also found: We said: Who are amongst the members of the household? Aren't the wives (of the Holy Prophet) included amongst the members of his house hold? Thereupon he said: No, by Allah, a woman lives with a man (as his wife) for a certain period; he then divorces her and she goes back to her parents and to her people; the members of his household include his ownself and his kith and kin (who are related to him by blood) and for him the acceptance of Zakat is prohibited.

— Yazid bin Hayyan reported

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ: فَدَعَا سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَشْتِمَ عَلِيًّا قَالَ: فَأَبَى سَهْلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَمَّا إِذْ أَبَيْتَ فَقُلْ: لَعَنَ اللهُ أَبَا التُّرَابِ فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ: مَا كَانَ لِعَلِيٍّ اسْمٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَبِي التُّرَابِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لَيَفْرَحُ إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ قِصَّتِهِ، لِمَ سُمِّيَ أَبَا تُرَابٍ؟ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْتَ فَاطِمَةَ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ عَلِيًّا فِي الْبَيْتِ، فَقَالَ «أَيْنَ ابْنُ عَمِّكِ؟» فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ شَيْءٌ، فَغَاضَبَنِي فَخَرَجَ، فَلَمْ يَقِلْ عِنْدِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِإِنْسَانٍ «انْظُرْ، أَيْنَ هُوَ؟» فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَاقِدٌ، فَجَاءَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ، قَدْ سَقَطَ رِدَاؤُهُ عَنْ شِقِّهِ، فَأَصَابَهُ تُرَابٌ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُهُ عَنْهُ وَيَقُولُ «قُمْ أَبَا التُّرَابِ قُمْ أَبَا التُّرَابِ».

A person from the offspring of Marwan was appointed as the governor of Medina. He called Sahl bin Sa`d رضی اللہ عنہ and ordered him to abuse `Ali رضی اللہ عنہ . Sahl رضی اللہ عنہ refused to do that. He (the governor) said to him: If you do not agree to it (at least) say: May Allah curse Abu Turab. Sahl رضی اللہ عنہ said: There was no name dearer to `Ali رضی اللہ عنہ than Abu Turab (for it was given to him by the Prophet himself) and he felt delighted when he was called by this name. He (the governor) said to him: Narrate to us the story of his being named as Abu Turab. He said: Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came to the house of Fatima and he did not find `Ali رضی اللہ عنہ in the house; whereupon he said: Where is your uncle's son? She said: (There cropped up something) between me and him which had annoyed him with me. He went out and did not rest here. Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) asked a person to find out where he was. He came and said: Allah's Messenger, he is sleeping in the mosque. Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came to him and found him lying in the mosque and saw that his mantle had slipped from his back and his back was covered with dust and Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) began to wipe it away from him (from the body of Hadrat `Ali رضی اللہ عنہ) saying: Get up, covered with dust (Abu Turab); get up, covered with dust.

— Sahl bin Sa`d رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: أَرِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، فَقَالَ: «لَيْتَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي يَحْرُسُنِي اللَّيْلَةَ»، قَالَتْ وَسَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ السِّلَاحِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ هَذَا؟» قَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ جِئْتُ أَحْرُسُكَ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) lay on bed during one night and said: Were there a pious person from amongst my companions who should keep a watch for me during the night? She said: We heard the noise of arms, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: Who is it? And Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas رضی اللہ عنہ said: Allah's Messenger. I have come to serve as your sentinel. 'A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا said: Allah' s Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) slept (such a sound sleep) that I heard the noise of his snoring.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ آيَاتٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ: حَلَفَتْ أُمُّ سَعْدٍ أَنْ لَا تُكَلِّمَهُ أَبَدًا حَتَّى يَكْفُرَ بِدِينِهِ، وَلَا تَأْكُلَ وَلَا تَشْرَبَ، قَالَتْ: زَعَمْتَ أَنَّ اللهَ وَصَّاكَ بِوَالِدَيْكَ، وَأَنَا أُمُّكَ، وَأَنَا آمُرُكَ بِهَذَا. قَالَ: مَكَثَتْ ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى غُشِيَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الْجَهْدِ، فَقَامَ ابْنٌ لَهَا يُقَالُ لَهُ عُمَارَةُ، فَسَقَاهَا، فَجَعَلَتْ تَدْعُو عَلَى سَعْدٍ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: {وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي} وَفِيهَا {وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا} [لقمان: 15] قَالَ: وَأَصَابَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَنِيمَةً عَظِيمَةً، فَإِذَا فِيهَا سَيْفٌ فَأَخَذْتُهُ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ الرَّسُولَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: نَفِّلْنِي هَذَا السَّيْفَ، فَأَنَا مَنْ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ حَالَهُ، فَقَالَ: «رُدُّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ» فَانْطَلَقْتُ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُلْقِيَهُ فِي الْقَبَضِ لَامَتْنِي نَفْسِي، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَعْطِنِيهِ، قَالَ فَشَدَّ لِي صَوْتَهُ «رُدُّهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخَذْتَهُ» قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْأَنْفَالِ} [الأنفال: 1] قَالَ: وَمَرِضْتُ فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَانِي، فَقُلْتُ: دَعْنِي أَقْسِمْ مَالِي حَيْثُ شِئْتُ، قَالَ فَأَبَى، قُلْتُ: فَالنِّصْفَ، قَالَ فَأَبَى، قُلْتُ: فَالثُّلُثَ، قَالَ فَسَكَتَ، فَكَانَ، بَعْدُ الثُّلُثُ جَائِزًا. قَالَ: وَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَقَالُوا: تَعَالَ نُطْعِمْكَ وَنَسْقِكَ خَمْرًا، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحَرَّمَ الْخَمْرُ، قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فِي حَشٍّ - وَالْحَشُّ الْبُسْتَانُ - فَإِذَا رَأْسُ جَزُورٍ مَشْوِيٌّ عِنْدَهُمْ، وَزِقٌّ مِنْ خَمْرٍ. قَالَ فَأَكَلْتُ وَشَرِبْتُ مَعَهُمْ، قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ الْأَنْصَارَ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ عِنْدَهُمْ. فَقُلْتُ: الْمُهَاجِرُونَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ. قَالَ فَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ أَحَدَ لَحْيَيِ الرَّأْسِ فَضَرَبَنِي، بِهِ فَجَرَحَ بِأَنْفِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيَّ - يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ - شَأْنَ الْخَمْرِ: {إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنْصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ} [المائدة: 90].

Many verses of the Qur'an had been revealed in connection with him. His mother Umm Sa'd had taken oath that she would never talk with him until he abandoned his faith and she neither ate nor drank and said: Allah has commanded you to treat well your parents and I am your mother and I command you to do this. She passed three days in this state until she fainted because of extreme hunger and at that time her son whose name was Umara stood up and served her drink and she began to curse Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ that Allah, the Exalted and Glorions, revealed these verses of the Holy Qur'an: And We have enjoined upon a person goodness to his parents but if they contend with thee to associate (others) with Me of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not (xxix. 8) ; Treat thein with customary good in this world (xxxi. 15). He also reported that there fell to the lot of Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) huge spoils of war and there was one sword in them. I picked that up and came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and said: Bestow this sword upon me (as my share in the spoils of war) and you know my state. Thereupon he said: Return it to the place from where you picked it up. I went back until I decided to throw it in a store but my soul repulsed me so I came back and asked him to give that sword to me. He said in a loud voice to return it to the place from where I had picked it up. It was on this occasion that this verse was revealed: They asked about the spoils of war (viii. 1). He further said: I once fell ill and sent a message to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). He visited me and I said to him: Permit me to distribute (in charity) my property as much as I like. He did not agree. I said: (Permit me to distribute) half of it. He did not agree. I said: (Permit me to distribute) the third part, whereupon he kept quiet and it was after this (that the distribution of one's property in charity) to the extent of one-third was held valid. He further said: I came to a group of persons of the Ansir and Muhajirin and they said: Come, so that we may serve you wine, and it was before the use of wine had been prohibited. I went to them in a garden and there had been with them the roasted head of a camel and a small water-skin containing wine. I ate and drank along with them and there came under discussion the Ansr (Helpers) and Muhajirin (immigrants). I said: The immigrants are better than the Ansar, that a person picked up a portion of the head (of the camel and struck me with it that my nose was injured. I came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and informed him of the situation that Aliah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed verses pertaining to wine: Intoxicants and the games of chance and (sacrificing to) stones set up and (divining by) arrows are only an uncleanliness, the devil's work (v. 90).

— Mus'ab bin Sa'd reported on the authority of his father

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أُنْزِلَتْ فِيَّ أَرْبَعُ آيَاتٍ، وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ زُهَيْرٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ: قَالَ فَكَانُوا إِذَا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يُطْعِمُوهَا شَجَرُوا فَاهَا بِعَصًا، ثُمَّ أَوْجَرُوهَا، وَفِي حَدِيثِهِ أَيْضًا: فَضَرَبَ بِهِ أَنْفَ سَعْدٍ، فَفَزَرَهُ وَكَانَ أَنْفُ سَعْدٍ مَفْزُورًا.

When they intended to feed her (Sa'd's mother), they opened her mouth with the help of a stick and then put the feed in her mouth, and in the same hadith the words are: He struck the nose of Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ and it was injured and Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ had (the mark) of wound on his nose.

— This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Simak and the hadith transmitted on the authority of Shu'ba (the words are)

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ: {وَلَا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ} [الأنعام: 52] وَالْعَشِيِّ قَالَ: نَزَلَتْ فِي سِتَّةٍ: أَنَا وَابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مِنْهُمْ، وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ قَالُوا لَهُ: تُدْنِي هَؤُلَاءِ.

Concerning the Verse: "'And turn not away those who invoke their lord, morning and afternoon....' " "This verse was revealed in relation to six persons and I and Ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ عنہ were amongst them. The polytheists said to him (the Holy Prophet ﷺ): Do not keep such persons near you. It was upon this that (this verse was revealed): Drive not away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening desiring only His pleasure (vi. 52).'"

— It was narrated that Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَسَدِيُّ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّةَ نَفَرٍ، فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اطْرُدْ هَؤُلَاءِ لَا يَجْتَرِئُونَ عَلَيْنَا. قَالَ وَكُنْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ، وَبِلَالٌ، وَرَجُلَانِ لَسْتُ أُسَمِّيهِمَا، فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقَعَ فَحَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: وَلَا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ.

We were six men in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that the polytheists said to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌): Drive them away so that they may not be overbold upon us. He said: I, Ibn Mas'ud and a person from the tribe of Hudhail, Bilal and two other persons, whose names I do not know (were amongst such persons). And there occurred to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) what. Allah wished and he talked with himself that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed: Do not drive away those who call their Lord morning and evening desiring to seek His pleasure.

— Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، وَحَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْبَكْرَاوِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: «لَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ تِلْكَ الْأَيَّامِ الَّتِي قَاتَلَ فِيهِنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، غَيْرُ طَلْحَةَ وَسَعْدٍ عَنْ حَدِيثِهِمَا».

On one of the days when Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was fighting and none remained with him save Talha رضی اللہ عنہ and Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ .

— It was narrated that Abu 'Uthman reported

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: نَدَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ، فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ، ثُمَّ نَدَبَهُمْ، فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ، ثُمَّ نَدَبَهُمْ، فَانْتَدَبَ الزُّبَيْرُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَوَارِيٌّ وَحَوَارِيَّ الزُّبَيْرُ».

I heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) exhorting people on the Day of the Battle of the Ditch to fight. Zubair رضی اللہ عنہ said: I am ready (to participate). He then again exhorted and he again said: I am ready to participate. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said: Behold. for every Prophet there is a helper and my helper is Zubair رضی اللہ عنہ .
