Sayings of the Messenger احادیثِ رسول اللہ ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سَلاَّمٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ عِنْدَهُ وَافِدَ عَادٍ، فَقُلْتُ: أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِثْلَ وَافِدِ عَادٍ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَمَا وَافِدُ عَادٍ؟ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ بِهَا سَقَطْتَ، إِنَّ عَادًا لَمَّا أُقْحِطَتْ بَعَثَتْ قَيْلاً فَنَزَلَ عَلَى بَكْرِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَسَقَاهُ الخَمْرَ وَغَنَّتْهُ الجَرَادَتَانِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يُرِيدُ جِبَالَ مَهْرَةَ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَمْ آتِكَ لِمَرِيضٍ فَأُدَاوِيَهُ وَلاَ لأَسِيرٍ فَأُفَادِيَهُ، فَاسْقِ عَبْدَكَ مَا كُنْتَ مُسْقِيَهُ، وَاسْقِ مَعَهُ بَكْرَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ، يَشْكُرُ لَهُ الخَمْرَ الَّتِي سَقَاهُ، فَرُفِعَ لَهُ سَحَابَاتٌ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: اخْتَرْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ، فَاخْتَارَ السَّوْدَاءَ مِنْهُنَّ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: خُذْهَا رَمَادًا رِمْدِدًا، لاَ تَذَرُ مِنْ عَادٍ أَحَدًا، وَذُكِرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُرْسَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الرِّيحِ إِلاَّ قَدْرُ هَذِهِ الحَلْقَةِ، يَعْنِي حَلْقَةَ الخَاتَمِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ العَقِيمَ مَا تَذَرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ} الآيَةَ.

Abu Wa'il narrated from a man of Rabi'ah who said: "I came to Al-Madinah, entered upon the Apostle of Allah ﷺ and mentioned the emissary of 'Ad to him. I said: 'I seek refuge in Allah from being like the emissary of 'Ad.' So, Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: 'And what of the emissary of 'Ad?'" He said: "I said: You have got the one who is informed about it. When 'Ad suffered from famine they sent Qail and he stayed with Bakr bin Mu'awiyah. He gave him wine to drink and two slave girls to sing for him. Then he went out towards the mountains of Murrah and said: "O Allah! I did not come to You to cure a sick person, nor to ransom a captive! So, give water to Your slave as You used to do, and give water to Bakr bin Mu'awiyah along with him." He said that out of gratitude for the wine which he gave him to drink. So, two clouds appeared, and it was said to him: "Choose one of them." So, he chose the black one. It was said to him: "Take it as ashes that will leave none in 'Ad." So, he mentioned that the wind sent upon them was not more than this circle - meaning the circle of a ring - then he recited: "...We sent against them the barren wind; it spared nothing that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of rotten ruins. (51:41 & 42)"

بْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلاَّمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ النَّحْوِيُّ أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ أَبِي النَّجُودِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنِ الحَارِثِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ البَكْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ غَاصٌّ بِالنَّاسِ، وَإِذَا رَايَاتٌ سُودٌ تَخْفُقُ، وَإِذَا بِلاَلٌ مُتَقَلِّدٌ السَّيْفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قُلْتُ: مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالُوا: يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَمْرَو بْنَ العَاصِ وَجْهًا، فَذَكَرَ الحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ نَحْوًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ بِمَعْنَاهُ. وَيُقَالُ لَهُ: الحَارِثُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ.

Narrated from Abu Wa'il that Al-Harith bin Yazid Al-Bakri said: "I came to Al-Madinah and entered the Masjid and found it full of the people and I also noticed a black banner raised high, while Bilal (RA) was holding a sword before the Apostle of Allah ﷺ. I said: 'What is the matter with the people?' They said: 'He intends to send Amr bin Al-As (RA) somewhere.'" So he mentioned the Hadith in its entirety, similar in meaning to the narration of Sufyan bin 'Uyainah (#3273). He said: He is also called Al-Harith bin Hassan.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الرِّفَاعِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِدْبَارُ النُّجُومِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ قَبْلَ الفَجْرِ، وَإِدْبَارُ السُّجُودِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ.

Narrated from Ibn Umar (RA) that the Prophet ﷺ said: "(The Ayah) And After (the setting of) the stars (52:49) (is about) the two Rak'ah before Fajr. (The Ayah) And after the prostrations (50:40) (is about) 'The two Rak'at after Al-Maghrib.'"

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا بَلَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِدْرَةَ الْمُنْتَهَى، قَالَ: انْتَهَى إِلَيْهَا مَا يَعْرُجُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَمَا يَنْزِلُ مِنْ فَوْقٍ. قَالَ: فَأَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ عِنْدَهَا ثَلاَثًا لَمْ يُعْطِهِنَّ نَبِيًّا كَانَ قَبْلَهُ، فُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاَةُ خَمْسًا، وَأُعْطِيَ خَوَاتِيمَ سُورَةِ البَقَرَةِ وَغُفِرَ لأُمَّتِهِ الْمُقْحِمَاتُ مَا لَمْ يُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا.قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: {إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى} قَالَ: السِّدْرَةُ فِي السَّمَاءِ السَّادِسَةِ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: فَرَاشٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَأَشَارَ سُفْيَانُ بِيَدِهِ فَأَرْعَدَهَا، وقَالَ غَيْرُ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ: إِلَيْهَا يَنْتَهِي عِلْمُ الخَلْقِ لاَ عِلْمَ لَهُمْ بِمَا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ.

Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA) said: "When Allah’s Apostle ﷺreached Sidrat Al-Muntaha (during his mi'raj) " He said: 'There terminates everything that ascends from the earth, and everything that descends from above. So there Allah gave him three, which He did not give to any Prophet before him: He made fiver prayers obligatory upon him, He gave him the last Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah, and He pardoned the grave sins for those of his Ummah who do not associate anything with Allah.' Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said regarding the Ayah: "When that covered the Sidrah which did cover it! (53:16)" he said: "The Sidrah is in sixth heaven." Sufyan said: "Golden butterflies" and Sufyan indicated with his hand in a fluttering motion. Others besides Malik bin Mighwal said: "There terminates the creature’s knowledge, there is no knowledge for them of what is above that."

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ العَوَّامِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ زِرَّ بْنَ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى} فَقَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ وَلَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ.

Ash-Shaibani said: "I asked Zirr bin Hubaish about the saying of Allah the Might and Sublime: And Till he was within two bows' length or even nearer (53:9). So he said: 'Ibn Mas'ud (RA) informed me that the Prophet ﷺ saw Jibra'il, and he had six-hundred wings.'"

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: لَقِيَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كَعْبًا بِعَرَفَةَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَكَبَّرَ حَتَّى جَاوَبَتْهُ الجِبَالُ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّا بَنُو هَاشِمٍ، فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَسَمَ رُؤْيَتَهُ وَكَلاَمَهُ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُوسَى، فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَرَآهُ مُحَمَّدٌ مَرَّتَيْنِ.قَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: هَلْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ؟ فَقَالَتْ: لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ بِشَيْءٍ قَفَّ لَهُ شَعْرِي، قُلْتُ: رُوَيْدًا ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُ {لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الكُبْرَى}، قَالَتْ: أَيْنَ يُذْهَبُ بِكَ؟إِنَّمَا هُوَ جِبْرِيلُ، مَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَأَى رَبَّهُ، أَوْ كَتَمَ شَيْئًا مِمَّا أُمِرَ بِهِ، أَوْ يَعْلَمُ الخَمْسَ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الغَيْثَ} فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ الفِرْيَةَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ، لَمْ يَرَهُ فِي صُورَتِهِ إِلاَّ مَرَّتَيْنِ: مَرَّةً عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى، وَمَرَّةً فِي جِيَادٍ لَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ قَدْ سَدَّ الأُفُقَ.

Ash-Sha'bi said: "Ibn Abbas (RA) met Ka'b (RA) at Arafat, so he asked him about something, and he kept on saying the Takbir until it reverberated off of the mountains. So, Ibn Abbas (finally) said: 'We are Banu Hashim.' So Ka'b said: 'Verily Allah divided His being seen and His speech between Muhammad ﷺ and Musa (AS). He spoke to Musa (AS) twice, and Muhammad ﷺ saw Him twice.' Masruq said: 'I entered upon 'Aishah (RA) and asked her if Muhammad ﷺ saw his Lord.' She said: 'You have asked something that makes my hair stand on end.' I said: 'Take it easy.' Then I recited: Certainly, he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord (53:18). So she said: 'What do you mean by that? That is only Jibra'il (AS). Whoever informed you that Muhammad ﷺ his Lord, or that he ﷺ concealed something (from his Ummah) he was commanded with, or he knew of the five things about which Allah, [Most High] said: Surely the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah alone, and He sends down the rain (31:34) - then he has forged the worst lie. Rather he ﷺ saw Jibra'il (AS), but he did not see him in his (real) image except on two occasions. One time at Sidrat Al-Muntaha and one time in Jiyad, he had six-hundred wings which filled the horizon.'"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمْرِو بْنِ نَبْهَانَ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ الثَّقَفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ كَثِيرٍ العَنْبَرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ الحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ، قُلْتُ: أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ: {لاَ تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ} قَالَ: وَيْحَكَ، ذَاكَ إِذَا تَجَلَّى بِنُورِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ نُورُهُ، وَقَدْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ.

Narrated from Ikrimah that Ibn Abbas (RA) said: "Muhammad ﷺ saw his Lord." I said: "Did Allah not say: No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision (6:103). He said: "Woe unto you! That is when He manifests His Light. But Muhammad ﷺ his Lord two times."

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الأُمَوِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ: {وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى} {فَأَوْحَى إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى} {فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى} قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قَدْ رَآهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Regarding Allah's statement: And indeed he saw him at a second descent. Near Sidrat Al-Muntaha (53:13 & 14). So He revealed to His worshiper whatever he revealed (53:10). And was a distance of two bow lengths or less (53:9). Ibn Abbas (RA) said: "The Prophet ﷺ saw Him."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، وَابْنُ أَبِي رِزْمَةَ، وَأَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، {مَا كَذَبَ الفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى} قَالَ: رَآهُ بِقَلْبِهِ.

Narrated from Ikrimah that Ibn Abbas (RA) said (regarding the Ayah): The heart lied not in what he ﷺ saw (53:11). He said: "He saw Him with his heart."

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التُّسْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لأَبِي ذَرٍّ: لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: عَمَّا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُهُ، قُلْتُ: أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ؟ فَقَالَ: قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ: نُورٌ، أَنَّى أَرَاهُ ‍‍".

Abdullah bin Shaqiq said: "I said to Abu Dharr (RA): 'If I would see the Prophet ﷺ then I would ask him." He said: 'What is it that you would ask him about?' I said: 'I would ask him if Muhammad ﷺ saw his Lord?' He said: 'I did ask him that, and he ﷺ said: I saw light.'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، وَابْنُ أَبِي رِزْمَةَ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، {مَا كَذَبَ الفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى} قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جِبْرِيلَ فِي حُلَّةٍ مِنْ رَفْرَفٍ قَدْ مَلأَ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ.

Abdur-Rahman bin Zaid narrated from Abdullah (RA) (regarding the Ayah): The heart lied not in what he saw (53:11). He said: " Allah’s Apostle ﷺ saw Jibra'il (AS) in a Hullah (dress normally made up of two pieces) of Rafraf filling what is between the heavens and the earth."

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، {الَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الإِثْمِ وَالفَوَاحِشَ إِلاَّ اللَّمَمَ} قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنْ تَغْفِرِ اللَّهُمَّ تَغْفِرْ جَمَّا، وَأَيُّ عَبْدٍ لَكَ لاَ أَلَمَّا.

Narrated from Ata that (regarding this Ayah): They are those who avoid great sins and indecencies save small offences (53:32). Ibn Abbas (RA) said: "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'If you forgive, O Allah, then forgive all sin, for which of your slaves has not committed small offences!'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِنًى فَانْشَقَّ القَمَرُ فَلْقَتَيْنِ: فَلْقَةٌ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الجَبَلِ، وَفَلْقَةٌ دُونَهُ، فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اشْهَدُوا، يَعْنِي، {اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ القَمَرُ}.

Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said: "We were in the company of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ in Mina, when the moon was cleft asunder into two parts. Part of it was behind the mountain, and part of it before it. Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said to us: 'Bear witness' meaning: The hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder (54:1)."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آيَةً، فَانْشَقَّ القَمَرُ بِمَكَّةَ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَنَزَلَتْ {اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ القَمَرُ}، إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ} يَقُولُ: ذَاهِبٌ.

Anas (RA) said: "The people of Makkah asked the Prophet ﷺ for a sign, so the moon was cleft asunder in Makkah two times (meaning two parts), so the following was revealed: 'The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder, up to his saying: 'Magic, Mustamir (54:1 & 2)' meaning 'Going away.'"

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: انْشَقَّ القَمَرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اشْهَدُوا.

Ibn Masud (RA) said: "During the time of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ the moon was cleft asunder, so the Prophet ﷺ said to us: 'Bear witness.'"

Ibn Umar (RA) said: "During the time of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ the moon was cleft asunder, so the Prophet ﷺ said to us: 'Bear witness.'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: انْشَقَّ القَمَرُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى صَارَ فِرْقَتَيْنِ: عَلَى هَذَا الجَبَلِ، وَعَلَى هَذَا الجَبَلِ، فَقَالُوا: سَحَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: لَئِنْ كَانَ سَحَرَنَا فَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَسْحَرَ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ.

Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im narrated from his father who said: "During the time of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ the moon was split until it became as two sections, one above this mountain and one above that mountain. So they said: 'Muhammad has cast a spell upon us.' Some of them said: 'If he could cast a spell upon us, he cannot cast a spell upon all of the people.'"

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ بُنْدَارٌ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ مُشْرِكُو قُرَيْشٍ يُخَاصِمُونَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي القَدَرِ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَوْمَ يُسْحَبُونَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ ذُوقُوا مَسَّ سَقَرَ إِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَاهُ بِقَدَرٍ}.

Abu Hurairah (RA) said: "The idolaters of the Quraish came to Allah’s Apostle ﷺ arguing about Qadar, so the following was revealed: The day they will be dragged on their faces into the Fire. Taste you the touch of Hell! Verily, We have created all things with Qadar (54:48 & 49)."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا فَسَكَتُوا، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَى الجِنِّ لَيْلَةَ الجِنِّ فَكَانُوا أَحْسَنَ مَرْدُودًا مِنْكُمْ، كُنْتُ كُلَّمَا أَتَيْتُ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ {فَبِأَيِّ آلاَءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ} قَالُوا: لاَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ نِعَمِكَ رَبَّنَا نُكَذِّبُ فَلَكَ الحَمْدُ.

Narrated Muhammad bin Al Munkadir that said: “Allah’s Apostle ﷺ came out to his Companions, and recited Surat Ar-Rahman on them from its beginning to its end, and they observed silence. So he said: ‘I recited it to the Jinns on the ‘Night of the Jinns,’ and they had been better than you at responding. Each time I came to Allah’s saying: ‘Which of your Lords favor do you deny.’ They said: “We do not deny any of Your favors our Lord! And for you is all praise.”

Narrated from Abu Hurairah (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: “Allah said: ‘I have prepared for My righteous slaves what no eye has seen, and no ear has heard and what has not occurred to the heart of any mortal.’ So, recite if you wish: No soul knows what is kept hidden for them of delights of the eyes as a reward for what they used to do. And in Paradise there is a tree under whose shade a rider can travel for one hundred years without stopping. Recite if you wish: And in shade extended. And the space occupied by a whip in Paradise is better than the world and whatever is in it. Recite if you wish: And Whoever is removed from the Fire and admitted to the Garden, he indeed shall attain the triumph. And the life of this world is naught but comfort of illusion.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ، وَالمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَ الحَسَنُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ إِذْ أَتَى عَلَيْهِمْ سَحَابٌ، فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: هَذَا العَنَانُ هَذِهِ رَوَايَا الأَرْضِ يَسُوقُهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى قَوْمٍ لاَ يَشْكُرُونَهُ وَلاَ يَدْعُونَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا فَوْقَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: فَإِنَّهَا الرَّقِيعُ، سَقْفٌ مَحْفُوظٌ، وَمَوْجٌ مَكْفُوفٌ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ كَمْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهَا؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: فَإِنَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ سَمَاءَيْنِ، مَا بَيْنَهُمَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ حَتَّى عَدَّ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ، مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ سَمَاءَيْنِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ،ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: فَإِنَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ العَرْشَ وَبَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ بُعْدُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءَيْنِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الَّذِي تَحْتَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: فَإِنَّهَا الأَرْضُ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الَّذِي تَحْتَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: فَإِنَّ تَحْتَهَا أَرْضًا أُخْرَى، بَيْنَهُمَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ حَتَّى عَدَّ سَبْعَ أَرَضِينَ، بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَرْضَيْنِ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ دَلَّيْتُمْ بِحَبْلٍ إِلَى الأَرْضِ السُّفْلَى لَهَبَطَ عَلَى اللَّهِ. ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {هُوَ الأَوَّلُ وَالآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ}.

Abu Hurairah (RA) said: “Once while Allah’s Prophet ﷺ was sitting with his Companions, a cloud came above them, so the Prophet of Allah said: ‘Do you know what this is?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘These are the clouds that are to drench the earth, which Allah [Blessed and Most High] dispatches to people who are not grateful to Him, nor supplicate to Him.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is above you?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Indeed it is a preserved canopy of the firmament whose surge is restrained.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know how much is between you and between it?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Between you and it [is the distance] of five-hundred year.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is above that.’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Verily, above that are two Heavens, between the two of them there is a distance of five-hundred years’ – until he enumerated seven Heavens – ‘What is between each of the two Heavens is what is between the heavens and the earth.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is above that?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Verily, above that is the Throne between it and the heavens is a distance [like] what is between two of the heavens.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is under you?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Indeed it is the earth.’ Then he said: ‘Do you know what is under that?’ They said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know better.’ He said: ‘Verily, below it is another earth, between the two of which is a distance of five-hundred years.’ Until he enumerated seven earths: ‘Between every two earths is a distance of five-hundred years.’ Then he said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! If you were to send [a man] down with a rope to the lowest earth, then he would descend upon Allah.’ Then he recited: He is Al-Awwal, Al-Akhir, Az-Zahir Al-Batin, and He has knowledge over all things.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، وَالحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الحُلْوانِيُّ، الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ صَخْرٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ رَجُلاً قَدْ أُوتِيتُ مِنْ جِمَاعِ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَمْ يُؤْتَ غَيْرِي، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ رَمَضَانُ تَظَاهَرْتُ مِنْ امْرَأَتِي حَتَّى يَنْسَلِخَ رَمَضَانُ فَرَقًا مِنْ أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْهَا فِي لَيْلَتِي فَأَتَتَابَعَ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي النَّهَارُ وَأَنَا لاَ أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَنْزِعَ، فَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ تَخْدُمُنِي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ إِذْ تَكَشَّفَ لِي مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَوَثَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ عَلَى قَوْمِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ خَبَرِي فَقُلْتُ: انْطَلِقُوا مَعِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُخْبِرَهُ بِأَمْرِي، فَقَالُوا: لاَ وَاللَّهِ لاَ نَفْعَلُ، نَتَخَوَّفُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِينَا قُرْآنٌ أَوْ يَقُولَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَقَالَةً يَبْقَى عَلَيْنَا عَارُهَا، وَلَكِنْ اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ فَاصْنَعْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ. قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ خَبَرِي، فَقَالَ: أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنَا بِذَاكَ. قَالَ: أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنَا بِذَاكَ. قَالَ: أَنْتَ بِذَاكَ؟ قُلْتُ: أَنَا بِذَاكَ، وَهَا أَنَا ذَا فَأَمْضِ فِيَّ حُكْمَ اللهِ فَإِنِّي صَابِرٌ لِذَلِكَ. قَالَ: أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَةً. قَالَ: فَضَرَبْتُ صَفْحَةَ عُنُقِي بِيَدِي،فَقُلْتُ: لاَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالحَقِّ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهَا. قَالَ: فَصُمْ شَهْرَيْنِ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ أَصَابَنِي مَا أَصَابَنِي إِلاَّ فِي الصِّيَامِ. قَالَ: فَأَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا: قُلْتُ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالحَقِّ لَقَدْ بِتْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ وَحْشَى، مَا لَنَا عَشَاءٌ. قَالَ: اذْهَبْ إِلَى صَاحِبِ صَدَقَةِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ، فَقُلْ لَهُ فَلْيَدْفَعْهَا إِلَيْكَ فَأَطْعِمْ عَنْكَ مِنْهَا وَسْقًا سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا، ثُمَّ اسْتَعِنْ بِسَائِرِهِ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى عِيَالِكَ قَالَ: فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى قَوْمِي، فَقُلْتُ: وَجَدْتُ عِنْدَكُمُ الضِّيقَ وَسُوءَ الرَّأْيِ، وَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّعَةَ وَالبَرَكَةَ، أَمَرَ لِي بِصَدَقَتِكُمْ فَادْفَعُوهَا إِلَيَّ فَدَفَعُوهَا إِلَيَّ.

Salamah bin Sakhr Al Ansari said: “I was a man who had an issue with intercourse with a woman that none other than me had. When (the month of) Ramadan entered, I pronounced Zihar upon my wife (to last) until the end of Ramadan, fearing that I might have an encounter with her during the night, and I would continue doing that until daylight came upon me, and I would not be able to stop. One night while she was serving me, something of her became exposed for me, so I rushed myself upon her. When the morning came, I went to my people to inform them about what happened to me. I said: ‘Accompany me to the Apostle of Allah ﷺ to inform him about my case.’ They said: ‘No by Allah! We shall not do that, we fear that something will be revealed about us in the Qur’an, or the Apostle of Allah might say something about us, the disgrace of which will remain upon us. But you do and do whatever you want.’” He said: “So I left, and I went to the Apostle of Allah ﷺ, and informed him of my case. He said: ‘You are the one who did that?” I said: ‘I am the one.’ He said: ‘You are the one who did that?” I said: ‘I am the one.’ He said: ‘You are the one who did that?” I said: ‘I am the one, it is before you, so give me Allah’s judgment, for I shall be patient with that.’ He said: ‘Free a slave.’” He said: “I struck the sides of my neck with me hands and said: ‘No by the One Who sent you with the Truth! I possess nothing besides it.’ He said: ‘Then fast for two months’ I said: ‘O Apostle of Allah! Did this occur to me other than when I was fasting?’ He said: ‘Then feed sixty poor people.’ I said: ‘By the One Who sent you with the Truth! We have spent these nights of ours hungry without an evening meal.’ He said: ‘Go to the one with the charity from Banu Ruzaiq, tell him to give it to you, then feed a Wasq of it, on your behalf, to sixty poor people. Then help yourself and your dependents with the remainder of it.’” He said: “I returned to my people and said: ‘I found dejection and bad ideas with you, and I found liberalness and blessing with the Apostle of Allah ﷺ. He ordered me to take your charity, so give it to me.’ So they gave it to me.”

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ الأَشْجَعِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الجَعْدِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ الأَنْمَارِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ صَدَقَةً}قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا تَرَى؟ دِينَارٌ؟ قُلْتُ: لاَ يُطِيقُونَهُ، قَالَ: فَنِصْفُ دِينَارٍ؟، قُلْتُ: لاَ يُطِيقُونَهُ. قَالَ: فَكَمْ؟ قُلْتُ: شَعِيرَةٌ. قَالَ: إِنَّكَ لَزَهِيدٌ. قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ {أَأَشْفَقْتُمْ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ صَدَقَاتٍ} الآيَةَ. قَالَ: فَبِي خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ.

Ali bin Abi Talib (RA) said: “When (the following) was revealed: ‘O you who believe! When you consult the Apostle ﷺ in private, spend something in charity before your private consultation.’ The Prophet said to me: ‘What do you think? A dinar?’ I said: ‘They will not be able to.’ He said: ‘Then half a Dinar?’ I said: ‘They will not be able.’ He said: ‘Then how much?’ I said ‘A barely corn.’ He said: ‘You made it too little.’” He said: “So the Ayah was revealed: ‘Are you afraid of spending in charity before your private consultation?’ He said: “It was about my case for which Allah lightened the burden upon this Ummah.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا أَتَى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ: السَّامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ القَوْمُ، فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، سَلَّمَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: لاَ وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، رُدُّوهُ عَلَيَّ، فَرَدُّوهُ قَالَ: قُلْتَ: السَّامُّ عَلَيْكُمْ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا: عَلَيْكَ مَا قُلْتَ، قَالَ: {وَإِذَا جَاءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ}.

Anas bin Malik (RA) said: A Jew came to the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions and said: “As-Samu Alaikum (Death be upon you).” So, the people replied to him. Allah’s Prophet ﷺ said: “Do you know what this person said?” They said: “Allah and His Apostle ﷺ know better – he said the Salam – O Allah’s Prophet.” He said: “No, rather he said like this and that. Bring him back for me.” So they brought him back and he said: “Did you say As-Samu Alaikum? He said: “Yes.” So with that Allah’s Prophet said: “When one of the People of the Book gives you the Salam, then say: “Alaika Ma Qulta (Whatever you said to you too).” He said: ‘And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allah greets you not.’

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَرَّقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَخْلَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَقَطَّعَ، وَهِيَ البُوَيْرَةُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا فَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَلِيُخْزِيَ الفَاسِقِينَ}.

Ibn Umar (RA) said: “Allah’s Apostle ﷺ commanded to burn and cut down the date palms of Banu An-Nadir, and that (place) was called Al-Buwairah. So, Allah revealed: Whatsoever palm-trees you cut down, or left standing upon their roots, it was by Allah's leave, in order that He might abase the transgressors.”

حَدَّثَنَا الحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا} قَالَ: اللِّينَةُ النَّخْلَةُ، وَلِيُخْزِيَ الفَاسِقِينَ قَالَ: اسْتَنْزَلُوهُمْ مِنْ حُصُونِهِمْ، قَالَ: أُمِرُوا بِقَطْعِ النَّخْلِ فَحَكَّ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ. فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ: قَدْ قَطَعْنَا بَعْضًا وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضًا، فَلَنَسْأَلَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلْ لَنَا فِيمَا قَطَعْنَا مِنْ أَجْرٍ؟ وَهَلْ عَلَيْنَا فِيمَا تَرَكْنَا مِنْ وِزْرٍ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ أَوْ تَرَكْتُمُوهَا قَائِمَةً عَلَى أُصُولِهَا} " الآيَةَ.

Narrated from Ibn Abbas (RA) regarding the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: Whatsoever palm-trees you cut down, or left standing upon their roots, it was by Allah's leave, in order that He might abase the transgressors. He said: 'al-linah' is a palm-tree while 'abase to the transgressors is that the Muslims brought them (the Jews) from their forts.’ And they were commanded to cut down the date-pals, that caused some hesitation in their chests, so the Muslims said: “We cut some of them, and we left some of them, so let us ask the Apostle of Allah ﷺ is we are to be rewarded for those that we cut down, and if we will be burdened for what we left?” So, Allah [Most High] revealed the Ayah: What you cut down of the Linah, or you left of them standing on their trunks.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ بَاتَ بِهِ ضَيْفٌ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ قُوتُهُ وَقُوتُ صِبْيَانِهِ، فَقَالَ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ: نَوِّمِي الصِّبْيَةَ، وَأَطْفِئِي السِّرَاجَ، وَقَرِّبِي لِلضَّيْفِ مَا عِنْدَكِ، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ: {وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ}.

Narrated from Abu Hurairah (RA) that a guest spent one night with a man from the Ansar, but he but the only provision he had was his meal and the meal for his children, so he said to his wife: ‘Put the children to sleep, extinguish the lantern, and give me whatever you have with you for the guest.’ So, this Ayah was revealed: And they give preference over themselves even though they were in need of that.”

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ الحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ هُوَ ابْنُ الحَنَفِيَّةِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ: بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَالمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الأَسْوَدِ فَقَالَ: انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ فَإِنَّ بِهَا ظَعِينَةً مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ، فَخُذُوهُ مِنْهَا فَأْتُونِي بِهِ، فَخَرَجْنَا تَتَعَادَى بِنَا خَيْلُنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الرَّوْضَةَ، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالظَّعِينَةِ فَقُلْنَا: أَخْرِجِي الكِتَابَ، فَقَالَتْ: مَا مَعِي مِنْ كِتَابٍ، قُلْنَا: لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الكِتَابَ أَوْ لَتُلْقِيِنَّ الثِّيَابَ، قَالَ: فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ مِنْ عِقَاصِهَا قَالَ: فَأَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِمَكَّةَ يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: مَا هَذَا يَا حَاطِبُ؟ قَالَ: لاَ تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً مُلْصَقًا فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهَا، وَكَانَ مَنْ مَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ لَهُمْ قَرَابَاتٌ يَحْمُونَ بِهَا أَهْلِيهِمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ بِمَكَّةَ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ إِذْ فَاتَنِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ نَسَبٍ فِيهِمْ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمْ يَدًا يَحْمُونَ بِهَا قَرَابَتِي، وَمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ كُفْرًا وَارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي وَلاَ رِضًا بِالكُفْرِفَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: صَدَقَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطَّابِ: دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا، فَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، فَقَالَ: اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ. قَالَ: وَفِيهِ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ السُّورَةُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ} السُّورَةَ.

Ali bin Abi Talib (RA) said: “Allah’s Apostle ﷺ sent me, Az-Zubair (RA), and Al-Miqad bin Al- Aswad (RA). He said: “Go until you reach Rawdah Khakh, where there is a woman carrying a letter. Take the letter from her and bring it to me.” So we proceeded on our way with our horses galloping at full pace until we reached the Rawdah. There we found the woman and said to her: “Bring out the letter.” She replied: “I have no letter.” We said: “Either you bring out the letter, or we shall take off your clothes.’” He said: ‘So she brought it out of her braid.’ He said: ‘We brought it to the Apostle of Allah ﷺ, and it was from Hatib bin Abi Balta’ah, addressed to some of people among the idolaters of Makkah, it informed them about some matters of the Prophet ﷺ. So he asked: “What is this O Hatib?” He said: “Do not hasten in my matter me O Apostle of Allah! ﷺ as I was a person (from a tribe) who is an ally to the Quraish, not being one of them while the Muhajirun who are with you have relatives who can protect their families and their wealth in Makkah. So since I have no lineage among them, I wanted to do them a favor, so they might protect my relatives. I did not do this out of disbelief, nor to renegade from my religion, nor did I do it to choose disbelief [after Islam].” The Prophet said: “He said the truth.” Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA) said: “Allow me to chop off the head of this hypocrite!” The Prophet said: “Indeed he participated in (the battle of) Badr. You do not know, perhaps Allah looked at those who attended Badr and said: ‘O people of Badr! Do as you like, for I have forgiven you.’” He said: ‘It was about him, that this Surah was revealed: O you who believe! Do not take My enemies and your enemies as protecting friends showing affection towards them.’”

Aishah (RA) said: “Allah’s Apostle ﷺ used to examine (women) only because of this verse in which Allah said: When believing women come to you pledging to you.” Ma’mar said: “Ibn Tawus informed me from his father who said: ‘The hand of Allah’s Apostle ﷺ never touched the hand of a woman except the woman whom he possessed.’”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ شَهْرَ بْنَ حَوْشَبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّةُ، قَالَتْ: قَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ النِّسْوَةِ: مَا هَذَا الْمَعْرُوفُ الَّذِي لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَعْصِيَكَ فِيهِ؟ قَالَ: لاَ تَنُحْنَ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَنِي فُلاَنٍ قَدْ أَسْعَدُونِي عَلَى عَمِّي وَلاَ بُدَّ لِي مِنْ قَضَائِهِمْ، فَأَبَى عَلَيَّ، فَعَاتَبْتُهُ مِرَارًا، فَأَذِنَ لِي فِي قَضَائِهِنَّ، فَلَمْ أَنُحْ بَعْدَ قَضَائِهِنَّ وَلاَ غَيْرِهِ حَتَّى السَّاعَةَ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ النِّسْوَةِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ نَاحَتْ غَيْرِي.

Umm Salamah Al-Ansariyyah (RA) said: “A woman asked: ‘What is this Ma’ruf (known thing) for which we are not allowed to disobey in?” He ﷺ said: “That you do not wail (over anyone).” I said: “O Apostle of Allah! ﷺVerily Banu so-and-so (people of certain tribe) had joined me in wailing over my paternal uncle, and I must reciprocate for them.’ But he refused to allow me. So I asked him again numerous times, then he allowed me to reciprocate for them. So after reciprocating for them, I did not wail for anyone else until this time. And There was no woman, apart from me, who had sworn fealty yet wailed over anyone.’”

Narrated from Ibn Abbas (RA), regarding the saying of Allah, the Most High: When believing women come to you as emigrants examine them. He said: “When a woman would come to the Prophet ﷺ to accept Islam, he asked her to swear by Allah: ‘I have not come out of anger with my husband, I have not come out except for love of Allah and His Apostle ﷺ.’”
