حَدَّثَنِيهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لِأُبَيٍّ بِمِثْلِهِ.

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

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَجَنَازَةُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمُ اهْتَزَّ لَهَا عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ».

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying while the bier of Sa'd bin Mu'adh رضی اللہ عنہ was placed before them: The Throne of the most Gracious shook at the death of Sa'd bin Mu'adh.

— Jabir bin 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَوْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اهْتَزَّ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِمَوْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ».

The Throne of the most Compassionate shook because of the death of Sa'd bin Mu'adh.

— Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الرُّزِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ الْخَفَّافُ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «وَجَنَازَتُهُ مَوْضُوعَةٌ - يَعْنِي سَعْدًا - اهْتَزَّ لَهَا عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ».

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: That his bier (that of Sa'd رضی اللہ عنہ) was placed (before them) and the Throne of the most Compassionate shook.

— Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ، يَقُولُ: أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حُلَّةُ حَرِيرٍ، فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَلْمِسُونَهَا وَيَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ لِينِهَا، فَقَالَ: «أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ لِينِ هَذِهِ؟ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا وَأَلْيَنُ».

A garment of silk was presented to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). His Companions touched it and admired its softness; there- upon he said: Do you admire the softness of this (cloth)? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd bin Mu'adh in Paradise are better than this.

— Al-Bara' رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَنْبَأَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ، يَقُولُ: أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَوْبِ حَرِيرٍ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبْدَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَحْوِ هَذَا، أَوْ بِمِثْلِهِ.

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

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَبَلَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِالْإِسْنَادَيْنِ جَمِيعًا، كَرِوَايَةِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ.

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Shu'ba combining the two chains of transmitters.

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جُبَّةٌ مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ، وَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ، فَعَجِبَ النَّاسُ مِنْهَا، فَقَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ مَنَادِيلَ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَحْسَنُ مِنْ هَذَا».

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) was presented a garment of sundus and he prohibited the use of silk. The persons admired it, whereupon he said: By Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the kerchiefs of Sa'd bin Mu'adh in Paradise are better than this.

— Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَالِمُ بْنُ نُوحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ أُكَيْدِرَ دُومَةِ الْجَنْدَلِ أَهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حُلَّةً فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ وَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْحَرِيرِ.

The king of Dumat al-Jandal presented to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) the garment and lie made no mention (of the fact) that he prohibited the use of silk.

— Anas رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَذَ سَيْفًا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ يَأْخُذُ مِنِّي هَذَا؟» فَبَسَطُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ، كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُ: أَنَا، أَنَا، قَالَ: «فَمَنْ يَأْخُذُهُ بِحَقِّهِ؟» قَالَ فَأَحْجَمَ الْقَوْمُ. فَقَالَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ: أَنَا آخُذُهُ بِحَقِّهِ. قَالَ: فَأَخَذَهُ فَفَلَقَ بِهِ هَامَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) took hold of his sword on the Day of Uhud and said: Who would take it from me? All the persons stretched their hands saying: I would do it, I would do it. He (Allah's Apostle) said: Who would take it in order to fulfil its rights? Then the people withdrew their hands. Simak bin Kharasha Abu Dujana رضی اللہ عنہ said: I am here to take it and fulfil its rights. He took it and struck the heads of the polytheists.

— Anas رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، يَقُولُ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ، جِيءَ بِأَبِي مُسَجًّى، وَقَدْ مُثِّلَ بِهِ، قَالَ: فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْفَعَ الثَّوْبَ، فَنَهَانِي قَوْمِي، ثُمَّ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْفَعَ الثَّوْبَ، فَنَهَانِي قَوْمِي، فَرَفَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَوْ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُفِعَ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَ بَاكِيَةٍ أَوْ صَائِحَةٍ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذِهِ؟» فَقَالُوا بِنْتُ عَمْرٍو، أَوْ أُخْتُ عَمْرٍو، فَقَالَ: «وَلِمَ تَبْكِي؟ فَمَا زَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا حَتَّى رُفِعَ».

The dead body of my father was brought and he was covered (with cloth) and it had been mutilated. I made an attempt to lift the cloth, but my people prohibited me to do so. I again made an attempt to lift the cloth, but my people prohibited me. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) lifted it or he commanded it to be lifted. He heard the noise (of a loud) weeping, or the noise of a woman mourner. He inquired who she was. They said: The daughter of 'Amr or the sister of Amr, whereupon he said: Why does she weep? The Angels provide him shade with the help of their Wings until he would be lifted (to his heavenly abode)

— Jabir bin 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: أُصِيبَ أَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَكْشِفُ الثَّوْبَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، وَأَبْكِي وَجَعَلُوا يَنْهَوْنَنِي، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَنْهَانِي، قَالَ: وَجَعَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ عَمْرٍو، تَبْكِيهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: تَبْكِيهِ، أَوْ لَا تَبْكِيهِ، مَا زَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُظِلُّهُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا، حَتَّى رَفَعْتُمُوهُ.

My father fell as a martyr on the Day of Uhud and I attempted to uncover his face and weep, but they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) forbade me to do this, whereas Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) did not forbid me and Fatima bint Amr, the sister of my father, was also weeping There- upon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: You may weep or you may not weep; the Angels provide him shade with the help of their wings until you lift him (to be buried in the grave).

— Jabir bin 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، كِلَاهُمَا، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ لَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ذِكْرُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَبُكَاءُ الْبَاكِيَةِ.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ through another chain of transmitters, but with this difference that there is no mention of the Angels and the weeping of a female mourner.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: جِيءَ بِأَبِي يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ مُجَدَّعًا، فَوُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِهِمْ.

My father was brought in a state that his ears had been cut off and (his dead body) was placed before Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), the rest of the hadith is the same.

— Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَلِيطٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ كِنَانَةَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كَانَ فِي مَغْزًى لَهُ، فَأَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: «هَلْ تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، فُلَانًا، وَفُلَانًا، وَفُلَانًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَلْ تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، فُلَانًا، وَفُلَانًا، وَفُلَانًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَلْ تَفْقِدُونَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟» قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: «لَكِنِّي أَفْقِدُ جُلَيْبِيبًا، فَاطْلُبُوهُ» فَطُلِبَ فِي الْقَتْلَى، فَوَجَدُوهُ إِلَى جَنْبِ سَبْعَةٍ قَدْ قَتَلَهُمْ، ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «قَتَلَ سَبْعَةً، ثُمَّ قَتَلُوهُ هَذَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ، هَذَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ» قَالَ: فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى سَاعِدَيْهِ لَيْسَ لَهُ إِلَّا سَاعِدَا النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَحُفِرَ لَهُ وَوُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ غَسْلًا.

Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was there in a battlefield that Allah conferred upon him the spoils of war. He said to his Companions: Is anyone missing amongst you? They said: So and so and so. He again said: Is there anyone missing amongst you? They said: So and so and so. He then said: Is there anyone missing amongst you? They said: No. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: But I am missing Julaibib رضی اللہ عنہ . They (his Companions) searched him amongst those who had been killed and they found him by the side of seven (dead bodies) whom he had killed and he had been killed (by the oppoments). Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came there and stood (by his side) and said: He killed seven (persons). Then (his opponents) killed him. He is mine and I am his. He then placed him upon his hands and there was none else to lift but Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). Then the grave was dug for him and he was placed in the grave and no mention is made of a bath.

حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: خَرَجْنَا مِنْ قَوْمِنَا غِفَارٍ، وَكَانُوا يُحِلُّونَ الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ، فَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي أُنَيْسٌ وَأُمُّنَا، فَنَزَلْنَا عَلَى خَالٍ لَنَا، فَأَكْرَمَنَا خَالُنَا وَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْنَا، فَحَسَدَنَا قَوْمُهُ فَقَالُوا: إِنَّكَ إِذَا خَرَجْتَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ خَالَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ أُنَيْسٌ، فَجَاءَ خَالُنَا فَنَثَا عَلَيْنَا الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَمَّا مَا مَضَى مِنْ مَعْرُوفِكَ فَقَدْ كَدَّرْتَهُ، وَلَا جِمَاعَ لَكَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، فَقَرَّبْنَا صِرْمَتَنَا، فَاحْتَمَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا، وَتَغَطَّى خَالُنَا ثَوْبَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَبْكِي، فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا بِحَضْرَةِ مَكَّةَ، فَنَافَرَ أُنَيْسٌ عَنْ صِرْمَتِنَا وَعَنْ مِثْلِهَا، فَأَتَيَا الْكَاهِنَ، فَخَيَّرَ أُنَيْسًا، فَأَتَانَا أُنَيْسٌ بِصِرْمَتِنَا وَمِثْلِهَا مَعَهَا [ص:1920]. قَالَ: وَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ، يَا ابْنَ أَخِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَلْقَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ، قُلْتُ: لِمَنْ؟ قَالَ: لِلَّهِ، قُلْتُ: فَأَيْنَ تَوَجَّهُ؟ قَالَ: أَتَوَجَّهُ حَيْثُ يُوَجِّهُنِي رَبِّي، أُصَلِّي عِشَاءً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ أُلْقِيتُ كَأَنِّي خِفَاءٌ، حَتَّى تَعْلُوَنِي الشَّمْسُ. فَقَالَ أُنَيْسٌ: إِنَّ لِي حَاجَةً بِمَكَّةَ فَاكْفِنِي، فَانْطَلَقَ أُنَيْسٌ حَتَّى أَتَى مَكَّةَ، فَرَاثَ عَلَيَّ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقُلْتُ: مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ: لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا بِمَكَّةَ عَلَى دِينِكَ، يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ اللهَ أَرْسَلَهُ، قُلْتُ: فَمَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: شَاعِرٌ، كَاهِنٌ، سَاحِرٌ، وَكَانَ أُنَيْسٌ أَحَدَ الشُّعَرَاءِ. قَالَ أُنَيْسٌ: لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَ الْكَهَنَةِ، فَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِهِمْ، وَلَقَدْ وَضَعْتُ قَوْلَهُ عَلَى أَقْرَاءِ الشِّعْرِ، فَمَا يَلْتَئِمُ عَلَى لِسَانِ أَحَدٍ بَعْدِي، أَنَّهُ شِعْرٌ، وَاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَصَادِقٌ، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَاكْفِنِي حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ فَأَنْظُرَ، قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ مَكَّةَ فَتَضَعَّفْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ، فَقُلْتُ: أَيْنَ هَذَا الَّذِي تَدْعُونَهُ الصَّابِئَ؟ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: الصَّابِئَ، فَمَالَ عَلَيَّ أَهْلُ الْوَادِي بِكُلٍّ مَدَرَةٍ وَعَظْمٍ، حَتَّى خَرَرْتُ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: فَارْتَفَعْتُ حِينَ ارْتَفَعْتُ، كَأَنِّي نُصُبٌ أَحْمَرُ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ زَمْزَمَ فَغَسَلْتُ عَنِّي الدِّمَاءَ: وَشَرِبْتُ مِنْ مَائِهَا، وَلَقَدْ لَبِثْتُ، يَا ابْنَ أَخِي ثَلَاثِينَ، بَيْنَ لَيْلَةٍ وَيَوْمٍ، مَا كَانَ لِي طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مَاءُ زَمْزَمَ، فَسَمِنْتُ حَتَّى تَكَسَّرَتْ عُكَنُ بَطْنِي، وَمَا وَجَدْتُ عَلَى كَبِدِي سُخْفَةَ جُوعٍ [ص:1921]. قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ قَمْرَاءَ إِضْحِيَانٍ، إِذْ ضُرِبَ عَلَى أَسْمِخَتِهِمْ، فَمَا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ أَحَدٌ. وَامْرَأَتَانِ مِنْهُمْ تَدْعُوَانِ إِسَافًا، وَنَائِلَةَ، قَالَ: فَأَتَتَا عَلَيَّ فِي طَوَافِهِمَا فَقُلْتُ: أَنْكِحَا أَحَدَهُمَا الْأُخْرَى، قَالَ: فَمَا تَنَاهَتَا عَنْ قَوْلِهِمَا قَالَ: فَأَتَتَا عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ: هَنٌ مِثْلُ الْخَشَبَةِ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أَكْنِي فَانْطَلَقَتَا تُوَلْوِلَانِ، وَتَقُولَانِ: لَوْ كَانَ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَنْفَارِنَا قَالَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَهُمَا هَابِطَانِ، قَالَ: «مَا لَكُمَا؟» قَالَتَا: الصَّابِئُ بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَأَسْتَارِهَا، قَالَ: «مَا قَالَ لَكُمَا؟» قَالَتَا: إِنَّهُ قَالَ لَنَا كَلِمَةً تَمْلَأُ الْفَمَ، وَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى اسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ، وَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ هُوَ وَصَاحِبُهُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ - قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ - فَكُنْتُ أَنَا أَوَّلَ مَنْ حَيَّاهُ بِتَحِيَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ، قَالَ فَقُلْتُ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ: «وَعَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ أَنْتَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ: مِنْ غِفَارٍ، قَالَ: فَأَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ فَوَضَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ، فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: كَرِهَ أَنِ انْتَمَيْتُ إِلَى غِفَارٍ، فَذَهَبْتُ آخُذُ بِيَدِهِ، فَقَدَعَنِي صَاحِبُهُ، وَكَانَ أَعْلَمَ بِهِ مِنِّي، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَتَى كُنْتَ هَاهُنَا؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ [ص:1922]: قَدْ كُنْتُ هَاهُنَا مُنْذُ ثَلَاثِينَ بَيْنَ لَيْلَةٍ وَيَوْمٍ، قَالَ: «فَمَنْ كَانَ يُطْعِمُكَ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ: مَا كَانَ لِي طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مَاءُ زَمْزَمَ فَسَمِنْتُ حَتَّى تَكَسَّرَتْ عُكَنُ بَطْنِي، وَمَا أَجِدُ عَلَى كَبِدِي سُخْفَةَ جُوعٍ، قَالَ: «إِنَّهَا مُبَارَكَةٌ، إِنَّهَا طَعَامُ طُعْمٍ» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ائْذَنْ لِي فِي طَعَامِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ، فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا، فَفَتَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَابًا، فَجَعَلَ يَقْبِضُ لَنَا مِنْ زَبِيبِ الطَّائِفِ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَوَّلَ طَعَامٍ أَكَلْتُهُ بِهَا، ثُمَّ غَبَرْتُ مَا غَبَرْتُ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ قَدْ وُجِّهَتْ لِي أَرْضٌ ذَاتُ نَخْلٍ، لَا أُرَاهَا إِلَّا يَثْرِبَ، فَهَلْ أَنْتَ مُبَلِّغٌ عَنِّي قَوْمَكَ؟ عَسَى اللهُ أَنْ يَنْفَعَهُمْ بِكَ وَيَأْجُرَكَ فِيهِمْ» فَأَتَيْتُ أُنَيْسًا فَقَالَ: مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قُلْتُ: صَنَعْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَصَدَّقْتُ، قَالَ: مَا بِي رَغْبَةٌ عَنْ دِينِكَ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَصَدَّقْتُ، فَأَتَيْنَا أُمَّنَا، فَقَالَتْ: مَا بِي رَغْبَةٌ عَنْ دِينِكُمَا، فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَصَدَّقْتُ، فَاحْتَمَلْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا قَوْمَنَا غِفَارًا، فَأَسْلَمَ نِصْفُهُمْ وَكَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ أَيْمَاءُ بْنُ رَحَضَةَ الْغِفَارِيُّ وَكَانَ سَيِّدَهُمْ. وَقَالَ نِصْفُهُمْ: إِذَا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ أَسْلَمْنَا، فَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَأَسْلَمَ نِصْفُهُمُ الْبَاقِي وَجَاءَتْ أَسْلَمُ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِخْوَتُنَا، نُسْلِمُ عَلَى الَّذِي أَسْلَمُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَأَسْلَمُوا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «غِفَارُ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا، وَأسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللهُ».

Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ said: We set out from our tribe Ghafir who look upon the prohibited months as permissible months. I and my brother Unais and our mother stayed with our maternal uncle who treated us well. The men of his tribe fell jealous and they said: When you are anay from your house, Unais commits adultery with your wife. Our -naternal uncle came and he accused us of the sin which was conveyed to him. I said: You have undone the good you did to us. We cannot stay with you after this. We came to our camels and loaded (our) luggage. Our maternal uncle began to weep covering himself with (a piece of) cloth. We proceeded on until we encamped by the side of Mecca. Unais cast lot on the camels (we had) and an equal number (above that). They both went to a Kahin and he made Unais win and Unais came with our camels and an equal number along with them. He (Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ) said: My nephew, I used to observe prayer three years before my meeting with Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). I said: For whom did you say prayer? He said: For Allah. I said: To which direction did you turn your face (for observing prayer)? He said: I used to turn my face as Allah has directed me to turn my face. I used to observe the night prayer at the time of the end of night and I fell down in prostration like the mantle until the sun rose over me. Unais said: I have a work in Mecca, so you better stay here. Unais went until he came to Mecca and he came to me late. I said: What did you do? He said: I met a person in Mecca who is on your religion and he claims that verily it is Allah Who has sent him. I said: What do the people say about him? He said: They say that he is a poet or a Kahin or a magician. Unais who was himself one of the poets said. I have heard the words of a Kahin but his words in no way resemble his (words). And 1 also compared his words to the verses of poets but such words cannot be uttered by any poet. By Allah, he is truthful and they are liars. Then I said: you stay here, until I go, so that I should see him. He said: I came to Mecca and I selected an insignificant person from amongst them and said to him: Where is he whom you call as-Sabi? He pointed out towards me saying: He is Sabi. Thereupon the people of the valley attacked me with sods and bows until I fell down unconscious. I stood up after havin. regained my consciousness and I found as if I was a red idol. I came to Zamzarn and washed blood from me and drank water from it and listen, O son of my brother, I stayed there for thirty nights or days and there was no food for me but the water of Zamzarn. And I became so bulky that there appeared wrinkles upon my stomach, and I did not feel any hunger in my stomach. It was during this time that the people of Mecca slept in the moonlit night and none was there to eircumambulate the House but only two women who had been invoking the name of Isafa, and Na'ila (the two idols). They came to me while in their circuit and I said: Marry one with the other, but they did not dissuade from their invoking. They came to me and I said to them: Insert wood (in the idols' private parts). (I said this to them in such plain words) as I could not express in metaphorical terms. These women went away crying and saying: Had there been one amongst our people (he would have taught a lesson to you for the obscene words used for our idols before us). These women met Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ who had also been coming down the hill. He asked them: What has happened to you? They said: There is Sabi, who has hidden himself between the Ka'ba and its curtain. He said: What did he say to you? They said: He uttered such words before us as we cannot express. Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came and he kissed the Black Stone and circumambulated the House along with his Companion and then observed prayer, and when he had finished his prayer, Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ said: I was the first to greet him with the salutation of peace and uttered (these words) in this way; Allah's Messenger, may there be peace upon you, whereupon he said: It may be upon you too and the mercy of Allah. He then said: Who are you? I said: From the tribe of Ghifar. He leaned his hand and placed his finger on his forehead and I said to myself: Perhaps he has not liked it that I belong to the tribe of Ghifar. I attempted to catch hold of his hand but his friend who knew about him more than I dissuaded me f rom doing so. He then lifted his head and said: Since how long have you been here? I said: I have been here for the last thirty nights or days. He said: Who has been feeding you? I said: There has been no food for me but the water of Zamzam. I have grown so bulky that there appear wrinkles upon my stomach and I do not feel any hunger. He said: It is blessed (water) and it also serves as food. Thereupon Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ said: Allah's Messenger, let me serve as a host to him for tonight, and then Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) proceeded forth and so did Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ and I went along with them. Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ opened the door and then he brought for us the raisins of Ta'if and that was the first food which I ate there. Then I stayed as long as I had to stay. I then came to Allah's Messenaer ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and he said: I have been shown the land abounding in trees and I think it cannot be but that of Yathrib (that is the old name of Medina). You are a preacher to your people on my behalf. I hope Allah would benefit them through you and He would reward you. I came to Unais and he said: What have you done? I said: I have done that I have embraced Islam and I have testified (to the prophethood of Allah's Messenger). He said: I have no aversion for your religion and I also embrace Islam and testify (to the prophethood of Muhammad). Then both of us came to our mother and she said: I have no aversion for your religion and I also embrace Islam and testify to the prophethood of Muhammad. We then loaded our camels and came to our tribe Ghifir and half of the tribe embraced Islam and their chief was Aimi' bin Rahada Ghifirl and he was their leader and hall of the tribe said: We will embrace Islam when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would come to Medina, and when Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came to Medina the remaining half also embraced Islam. Then a tribe Aslam came to the Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and said: Allah's Messenger, we also embrace Islam like our brothers who have embraced Islam. And they also embraced Islam. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Allah granted pardon to the tribe of Ghifar and Allah saved (from destruction) the tribe of Aslam.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، وَزَادَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ - قُلْتُ فَاكْفِنِي حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ فَأَنْظُرَ - قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَكُنْ عَلَى حَذَرٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ شَنِفُوا لَهُ وَتَجَهَّمُوا.

As I came to Mecca, Unais said: (Well), go but be on your guard against the Meccans for they are his enemies and are annoyed with him.

— This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Humaid bin Hilal with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي صَلَّيْتُ سَنَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ مَبْعَثِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَأَيْنَ كُنْتَ تَوَجَّهُ؟ قَالَ: حَيْثُ وَجَّهَنِيَ اللهُ، وَاقْتَصَّ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ: فَتَنَافَرَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْكُهَّانِ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَلْ أَخِي، أُنَيْسٌ يَمْدَحُهُ حَتَّى غَلَبَهُ، قَالَ: فَأَخَذْنَا صِرْمَتَهُ فَضَمَمْنَاهَا إِلَى صِرْمَتِنَا، وَقَالَ أَيْضًا فِي حَدِيثِهِ: قَالَ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَلْفَ الْمَقَامِ، قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَإِنِّي لَأَوَّلُ النَّاسِ حَيَّاهُ بِتَحِيَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ. مَنْ أَنْتَ» وَفِي حَدِيثِهِ أَيْضًا: فَقَالَ: «مُنْذُ كَمْ أَنْتَ هَاهُنَا؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ: مُنْذُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ، وَفِيهِ: فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَتْحِفْنِي بِضِيَافَتِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ.

Son of my brother, I used to observe prayer two years before the advent of Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). I said: To which direction did you turn your face? He said: To which Allah directed me to turn my face. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this addition that they went to a Kahin and his brother Unais began to praise him until he (in verses declared) him (Unais) as winner (in the contest of poetry), and so we got his camels, mixed them with our camels, and there is in this hadith also these words that Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came there and he circumambulated the House and observed two Rak'ahs of prayer behind the Station (of Ibrahim). I came to him and I was the first amongst persons to greet him with Assalam-o-'Alaikum, and I said to Allah's Messenger Let there be peace upon you. And he said: Let there be peace upon you too; who are you? And in the hadith (these words are) also found: Since how long have you been here? And Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ said: Let him be my guest tonight.

وحَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ السَّامِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ - وَتَقَارَبَا فِي سِيَاقِ الْحَدِيثِ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ حَاتِمٍ - قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُثَنَّى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا بَلَغَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَبْعَثُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ لِأَخِيهِ: ارْكَبْ إِلَى هَذَا الْوَادِي، فَاعْلَمْ لِي عِلْمَ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِيهِ الْخَبَرُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَاسْمَعْ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ ثُمَّ ائْتِنِي، فَانْطَلَقَ الْآخَرُ حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ، وَسَمِعَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ: رَأَيْتُهُ يَأْمُرُ بِمَكَارِمِ الْأَخْلَاقِ [ص:1924]، وَكَلَامًا مَا هُوَ بِالشِّعْرِ، فَقَالَ: مَا شَفَيْتَنِي فِيمَا أَرَدْتُ فَتَزَوَّدَ وَحَمَلَ شَنَّةً لَهُ، فِيهَا مَاءٌ حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ، فَأَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَالْتَمَسَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا يَعْرِفُهُ، وَكَرِهَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَنْهُ، حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهُ - يَعْنِي اللَّيْلَ - فَاضْطَجَعَ، فَرَآهُ عَلِيٌّ فَعَرَفَ أَنَّهُ غَرِيبٌ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ تَبِعَهُ، فَلَمْ يَسْأَلْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ، ثُمَّ احْتَمَلَ قِرْبَتَهُ وَزَادَهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَظَلَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ، وَلَا يَرَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حَتَّى أَمْسَى، فَعَادَ إِلَى مَضْجَعِهِ، فَمَرَّ بِهِ عَلِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: مَا آنَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ مَنْزِلَهُ؟ فَأَقَامَهُ، فَذَهَبَ بِهِ مَعَهُ، وَلَا يَسْأَلُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الثَّالِثِ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَأَقَامَهُ عَلِيٌّ مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: أَلَا تُحَدِّثُنِي؟ مَا الَّذِي أَقْدَمَكَ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ أَعْطَيْتَنِي عَهْدًا وَمِيثَاقًا لَتُرْشِدَنِّي، فَعَلْتُ، فَفَعَلَ. فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ: فَإِنَّهُ حَقٌّ وَهُوَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَاتَّبِعْنِي، فَإِنِّي إِنْ رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ، قُمْتُ كَأَنِّي أُرِيقُ الْمَاءَ، فَإِنْ مَضَيْتُ فَاتَّبِعْنِي حَتَّى تَدْخُلَ مَدْخَلِي، فَفَعَلَ، فَانْطَلَقَ يَقْفُوهُ، حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ، وَأَسْلَمَ مَكَانَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ارْجِعْ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ أَمْرِي» فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأَصْرُخَنَّ بِهَا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ، فَنَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، وَثَارَ الْقَوْمُ فَضَرَبُوهُ حَتَّى أَضْجَعُوهُ، فَأَتَى الْعَبَّاسُ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: وَيْلَكُمْ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ غِفَارٍ، وَأَنَّ طَرِيقَ تُجَّارِكُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَأَنْقَذَهُ مِنْهُمْ، ثُمَّ عَادَ مِنَ الْغَدِ بِمِثْلِهَا، وَثَارُوا إِلَيْهِ فَضَرَبُوهُ، فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَبَّاسُ فَأَنْقَذَهُ.

When Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ heard of the advent of the Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) in Mecca he said: Brother, ride in this valley and bring information for me about the person who claims that there comes to him information from the Heavens. Listen to his words and then come to me. So he rode on until he came to Mecca and he heard his words (the sacred words of the Holy Prophet) and then came back to Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ and said: I have seen him exhorting (people) to develop good morals and his expressions can in no way be termed as poetry. He (Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ ) said: I have not been satisfied with it regarding that which I had in my mind (as I sent you). So he took up provisions for the journey and a small water-skin containing water (and set forth) until he came to Mecca. He came to the mosque (Ka`bah) and began to look for Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and he did not recognize him (the Holy Prophet) and he did not even like that he should ask about him from anyone until it was night, and he slept. `Ali رضی اللہ عنہ saw him and found him to be a stranger. So he went with him. He followed him but one did not make any inquiry from the other about anything until it was morning. He then brought the water and his provisions to the mosque and spent a day there, but he did not see Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) until it was night. He then returned to his bed, and there happened to pass `Ali رضی اللہ عنہ and he said: This man has not been able to find his destination until this time. He made him stand and he went with him and no one made an inquiry from his companion about anything. And when it was the third day he did the same. `Ali رضی اللہ عنہ made him stand up and brought him along with him. He said: By Him, besides Whom there is no god, why don't you tell me (the reason) which brought you here to this town? He said: (I shall do this) provided you hold me promise and a covenant that you would guide me aright. He then did that. He (`Ali رضی اللہ عنہ) said: Verily, he is truthful and he is a Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and when it is morning, follow me and if I would say anything from which I would sense fear about you I would stand (in a manner) as if I was throwing water and if I move on, you then follow me until I get in (some house). He did that and I followed him until he came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). He entered (the house) of Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) along with him and listened to his words and embraced Islam at this very place. Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said to him: Go to your people and inform them until my command reaches you. Thereupon he said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I shall say to the people of Mecca this thing at the top of my voice. So he set forth until he came to the mosque and then spoke at the top of his voice (saying): I bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. The people attacked him and made him fall down when al-`Abbas came and he leaned over him and said: Woe be upon you, don't you know that he is from amongst the tribe of Ghifar and your trading route to Syria passes through (the settlements of this tribe), and he rescued him. He (Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ) did the same on the next day and they (the Meccans) again attacked him and al-`Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ leaned upon him and he rescued him.

— Ibn `Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَيَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ بَيانٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ «مَا حَجَبَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ وَلَا رَآنِي إِلَّا ضَحِكَ».

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) never refused me permission to see him since I embraced Islam and never looked at me but with a smile.

— Jarir bin 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ said

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: مَا حَجَبَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَلَا رَآنِي إِلَّا تَبَسَّمَ فِي وَجْهِي. زَادَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ إِدْرِيسَ: وَلَقَدْ شَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنِّي لَا أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ، فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ فِي صَدْرِي وَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ وَاجْعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا».

Since I embraced Islam Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) never refused to see me and he did not see me but with a smile on his face. Ibn Numair has made this addition to this hadith which has been reported on the authority of Ibn Idris that he (Jarir) made this complaint to him (to the Holy Prophet): I cannot sit upon the horse with firmness, whereupon he (Allah's Apostle) struck his chest with his hand and prayed: O Allah, make him steadfast and rightly-guided.

— Jarir رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَيَانٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ بَيْتٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ ذُو الْخَلَصَةِ، وَكَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْكَعْبَةُ الْيَمَانِيَةُ، وَالْكَعْبَةُ الشَّامِيَّةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلْ أَنْتَ مُرِيحِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ، وَالْكَعْبَةِ الْيَمَانِيَةِ وَالشَّامِيَّةِ؟» فَنَفَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فِي مِائَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ، فَكَسَرْنَاهُ وَقَتَلْنَا مَنْ وَجَدْنَا عِنْدَهُ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، قَالَ: «فَدَعَا لَنَا وَلِأَحْمَسَ».

There was in pre-Islamic days a temple called Dhu'l- Khalasah and it was called the Yamanite Ka'ba or the northern Ka'ba. Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said unto me: Will you rid me of Dhu'l-Khalasah and so I went forth at the head of 350 horsemen of the tribe of Ahmas and we destroyed it and killed whomsoever we found there. Then we came back to him (to the Holy Prophet) and informed him and he blessed us and the tribe of Ahmas.

— Jarir رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَجَلِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا جَرِيرُ أَلَا تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ» بَيْتٍ لِخَثْعَمَ كَانَ يُدْعَى كَعْبَةَ الْيَمَانِيَةِ، قَالَ: فَنَفَرْتُ فِي خَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةِ فَارِسٍ، وَكُنْتُ لَا أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَضَرَبَ يَدَهُ فِي صَدْرِي فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ، وَاجْعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا» قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ فَحَرَّقَهَا بِالنَّارِ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ جَرِيرٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، رَجُلًا يُبَشِّرُهُ يُكْنَى أَبَا أَرْطَاةَ مِنَّا، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَا جِئْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْنَاهَا كَأَنَّهَا جَمَلٌ أَجْرَبُ، فَبَرَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَلَى خَيْلِ أَحْمَسَ، وَرِجَالِهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said to me: Can't on rid me of Dhu'I-Khalasah, the idol-house of Khath'am, and this idol-house was called the Yamanite Ka'ba. So I went along with 150 horsemen and I could not sit with steadfastness upon the horse. I made the mention of it to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and he struck his hand on my chest and said: O Allah, grant him steadfastness and make him the guide of righteousness and the rightly-guided one. So he went away and he set fire to it. Then Jarir رضی اللہ عنہ sent some person to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) whose Kunya was Abu Arta to give him the happy news about that. He came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and said: I have not come to you (but with the news) that we have left Dhu'l-Khalasah as a scabed camel. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) blessed the horses of Ahmas and the men of their tribe five times.

— Jarir bin 'Abdullah al-Bajali رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ يَعْنِي الْفَزَارِيَّ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ كُلُّهُمْ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ مَرْوَانَ: فَجَاءَ بَشِيرُ جَرِيرٍ أَبُو أَرْطَاةَ حُصَيْنُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، يُبَشِّرُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ismail with different chains of transmitters and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Marwan (the words are): A person giving the glad tidings on behalf of Jarir رضی اللہ عنہ came or Abu Husain bin Rabi`a رضی اللہ عنہ came in order to give glad tidings to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌).

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ النَّضْرِ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَاءُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْيَشْكُرِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَتَى الْخَلَاءَ فَوَضَعْتُ لَهُ وَضُوءًا، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَ: «مَنْ وَضَعَ هَذَا؟» - فِي رِوَايَةِ زُهَيْرٍ قَالُوا: وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ - قُلْتُ: ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «اللهُمَّ فَقِّهْهُ».

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) came to privy and I placed for him water for ablution, When he came out he said: Who placed it here? And in a version of Zuhair they (the Companions) said, and in the version of Abu Bakr (the words are): I said: It is Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ (who has done that), whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: May Allah grant him deep understanding of religion.
