Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
That 'Amr bin Auf, who was an ally of Bani 'Amir bin Luai and one of
those who fought at Badr in the company of the Prophet , said,
"Allah's Apostle sent Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah to Bahrain to bring
the Jizya taxation from its people, for Allah's Apostle had made a
peace treaty with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al-'Ala' bin
Al-Hadrami as their ruler. So, Abu 'Ubaida arrived with the money
from Bahrain. When the Ansar heard of the arrival of Abu 'Ubaida (on
the next day) they offered the morning prayer with the Prophet and
when the morning prayer had finished, they presented themselves
before him. On seeing the Ansar, Allah's Apostle smiled and said, "I
think you have heard that Abu 'Ubaida has brought something?" They
replied, "Indeed, it is so, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Be happy,
and hope for what will please you. By Allah, I am not afraid that
you will be poor, but I fear that worldly wealth will be bestowed
upon you as it was bestowed upon those who lived before you. So you
will compete amongst yourselves for it, as they competed for it and
it will destroy you as it did them."

Narrated Nafi: Ibn 'Umar used to kill all kinds of snakes until Abu
Lubaba Al-Badri told him that the Prophet had forbidden the killing
of harmless snakes living in houses and called Jinan. So Ibn 'Umar
gave up killing them.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Some men of the Ansar requested Allah's Apostle to allow them to see

Dirham of it!"

Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Adi bin Al-Khiyar:
That Al-Miqdad bin 'Amr Al-Kindi, who was an ally of Bani Zuhra and
one of those who fought the battle of Badr together with Allah's
Apostle told him that he said to Allah's Apostle, "Suppose I met one
of the infidels and we fought, and he struck one of my hands with
his sword and cut it off and then took refuge in a tree and said, "I
surrender to Allah (i.e. I have become a Muslim),' could I kill him,
O Allah's Apostle, after he had said this?" Allah's Apostle said,
"You should not kill him." Al-Miqdad said, "O Allah's Apostle! But
he had cut off one of my two hands, and then he had uttered those
words?" Allah's Apostle replied, "You should not kill him, for if
you kill him, he would be in your position where you had been before
killing him, and you would be in his position where he had been
before uttering those words."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 355
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle said on the day of Badr, "Who will go and see what
has happened to Abu Jahl?" Ibn Mas'ud went and saw him struck by the
two sons of 'Afra and was on the point of death . Ibn Mas'ud said,
"Are you Abu Jahl?" Abu Jahl replied, "Can there be a man more
superior to the one whom you have killed (or as Sulaiman said, or
his own folk have killed.)?" Abu Jahl added, "Would that I had been
killed by other than a mere farmer. "
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 356
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
'Umar said, "When the Prophet died I said to Abu Bakr, 'Let us go to
our Ansari brethren.' We met two pious men from them, who had fought
in the battle of Badr." When I mentioned this to Urwa bin Az-Zubair,
he said, "Those two pious men were 'Uwaim bin Sa'ida and Manbin Adi."

Narrated Jubair bin Mut'im:
I heard the Prophet reciting Surat-at-Tur in Maghrib prayer, and
that was at a time when belief was first planted in my heart. The
Prophet while speaking about the war prisoners of Badr, said, "Were
Al-Mutim bin Adi alive and interceded with me for these filthy
people, I would definitely forgive them for his sake."
Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab: When the first civil strife (in
Islam) took place because of the murder of 'Uthman, it left none of
the Badr warriors alive. When the second civil strife, that is the
battle of Al-Harra, took place, it left none of the Hudaibiya treaty
companions alive. Then the third civil strife took place and it did
not subside till it had exhausted all the strength of the people.

Al-Musaiyab, 'Alqama bin Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah each
narrating part of the narrative concerning 'Aisha the wife of the
Prophet. 'Aisha said: When I and Um Mistah were returning, Um Mistah
stumbled by treading on the end of her robe, and on that she said,
'May Mistah be ruined.' I said, 'You have said a bad thing, you
curse a man who took part in the battle of Badr!." Az-Zuhri then
narrated the narration of the Lie (forged against 'Aisha).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 360
Narrated Ibn Shihab:
These were the battles of Allah's Apostle (which he fought), and
while mentioning (the Badr battle) he said, "While the corpses of
the pagans were being thrown into the well, Allah's Apostle said (to
them), 'Have you found what your Lord promised true?" 'Abdullah
said, "Some of the Prophet's companions said, "O Allah's Apostle!
You are addressing dead people.' Allah's Apostle replied, 'You do
not hear what I am saying, better than they.' The total number of
Muslim fighters from Quraish who fought in the battle of Badr and
were given their share of the booty, were 81 men." Az-Zubair said,
"When their shares were distributed, their number was 101 men. But
Allah knows it better."

Bani An-Nadir and Bani Quraiza fought (against the Prophet violating
their peace treaty), so the Prophet exiled Bani An-Nadir and allowed
Bani Quraiza to remain at their places (in Medina) taking nothing
from them till they fought against the Prophet again) . He then
killed their men and distributed their women, children and property
among the Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet and he
granted them safety, and they embraced Islam. He exiled all the Jews
from Medina. They were the Jews of Bani Qainuqa', the tribe of
'Abdullah bin Salam and the Jews of Bani Haritha and all the other
Jews of Medina.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Some people used to allot some date palm trees to the Prophet as
gift till he conquered Banu Quraiza and Bani An-Nadir, where upon he
started returning their date palms to them.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 365
Narrated Ibn Umar:
Allah's Apostle had the date-palm trees of Bani Al-Nadir burnt and
cut down at a place called Al-Buwaira. Allah then revealed: "What
you cut down of the date-palm trees (of the enemy) Or you left them
standing on their stems. It was by Allah's Permission." (59.5)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 366
Narrated Ibn Umar:
The Prophet burnt the date-palm trees of Bani An-Nadir. Hassan bin
Thabit said the following poetic Verses about this event:-- "the
terrible burning of Al-Buwaira Has been received indifferently By
the nobles of Bani Luai (The masters and nobles of Quraish)." Abu
Sufyan bin Al-Harith (i.e. the Prophet's cousin who was still a
disbeliever then) replied to Hassan, saying in poetic verses:-- "May
Allah bless that burning And set all its (i.e. Medina's) Parts on
burning fire. You will see who is far from it (i.e. Al-Buwaira) And
which of our lands will be Harmed by it (i.e. the burning of
Al-Buwaira)."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 367
Narrated Malik bin Aus Al-Hadathan An-Nasri:
That once 'Umar bin Al-Khattab called him and while he was sitting
with him, his gatekeeper, Yarfa came and said, "Will you admit
'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman bin Auf, AzZubair and Sad (bin Abi Waqqas)
who are waiting for your permission?" 'Umar said, "Yes, let them
come in." After a while, Yarfa- came again and said, "Will you admit
'Ali and 'Abbas who are asking your permission?" 'Umar said, "Yes."
So, when the two entered, 'Abbas said, "O chief of the believers!
Judge between me and this (i.e. 'Ali). "Both of them had a dispute
regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His
Apostle as Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting), 'Ali and 'Abbas
started reproaching each other. The (present) people (i.e. 'Uthman
and his companions) said, "O chief of the believers! Give your
verdict in their case and relieve each from) the other." 'Umar said,
"Wait I beseech you, by Allah, by Whose Permission both the heaven
and the earth stand fast! Do you know that Allah's Apostle said, 'We
(Prophets) our properties are not to be inherited, and whatever we
leave, is to be spent in charity,' and he said it about himself?"
They (i.e. 'Uthman and his company) said, "He did say it. "'Umar
then turned towards 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "I beseech you both,
by Allah! Do you know that Allah's Apostle said this?" They replied
in the affirmative. He said, "Now I am talking to you about this
matter. Allah the Glorified favored His Apostle with something of
this Fai (i.e. booty won without fighting) which He did not give to
anybody else. Allah said:--
"And what Allah gave to His Apostle ("Fai"" Booty) from them--For
which you made no expedition With either Calvary or camelry. But
Allah gives power to His Apostles Over whomsoever He will And Allah
is able to do all things." (59.6)
So this property was especially granted to Allah's Apostle . But by
Allah, the Prophet neither took it all for himself only, nor
deprived you of it, but he gave it to all of you and distributed it
amongst you till only this remained out of it. And from this Allah's
Apostle used to spend the yearly maintenance for his family, and
whatever used to remain, he used to spend it where Allah's Property
is spent (i.e. in charity), Allah's Apostle kept on acting like that
during all his life, Then he died, and Abu Bakr said, 'I am the
successor of Allah's Apostle.' So he (i.e. Abu Bakr) took charge of
this property and disposed of it in the same manner as Allah's
Apostle used to do, and all of you (at that time) knew all about
it." Then 'Umar turned towards 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "You both
remember that Abu Bakr disposed of it in the way you have described
and Allah knows that, in that matter, he was sincere, pious, rightly
guided and the follower of the right. Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to
die and I said, 'I am the successor of Allah's Apostle and Abu
Bakr.' So I kept this property in my possession for the first two
years of my rule (i.e. Caliphate and I used to dispose of it in the
same wa as Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr used to do; and Allah knows
that I have been sincere, pious, rightly guided an the follower of
the right (in this matte Later on both of you (i.e. 'Ali and Abbas)
came to me, and the claim of you both was one and the same, O
'Abbas! You also came to me. So I told you both that Allah's Apostle
said, "Our property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be
given in charity.' Then when I thought that I should better hand
over this property to you both or the condition that you will
promise and pledge before Allah that you will dispose it off in the
same way as Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr did and as I have done
since the beginning of my caliphate or else you should not speak to
me (about it).' So, both of you said to me, 'Hand it over to us on
this condition.' And on this condition I handed it over to you. Do
you want me now to give a decision other than that (decision)? By
Allah, with Whose Permission both the sky and the earth stand fast,
I will never give any decision other than that (decision) till the
Last Hour is established. But if you are unable to manage it (i.e.
that property), then return it to me, and I will manage on your
behalf." The sub-narrator said, "I told 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair of this
Hadith and he said, 'Malik bin Aus has told the truth" I heard
'Aisha, the wife of the Prophet saying, 'The wives of the Prophet
sent 'Uthman to Abu Bakr demanding from him their 1/8 of the Fai
which Allah had granted to his Apostle. But I used to oppose them
and say to them: Will you not fear Allah? Don't you know that the
Prophet used to say: Our property is not inherited, but whatever we
leave is to be given in charity? The Prophet mentioned that
regarding himself. He added: 'The family of Muhammad can take their
sustenance from this property. So the wives of the Prophet stopped
demanding it when I told them of that.' So, this property (of
Sadaqa) was in the hands of Ali who withheld it from 'Abbas and
overpowered him. Then it came in the hands of Hasan bin 'Ali, then
in the hands of Husain bin 'Ali, and then in the hands of Ali bin
Husain and Hasan bin Hasan, and each of the last two used to manage
it in turn, then it came in the hands of Zaid bin Hasan, and it was
truly the Sadaqa of Allah's Apostle ."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 368
Narrated 'Aisha:
Fatima and Al'Abbas came to Abu Bakr, claiming their inheritance of
the Prophet's land of Fadak and his share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr
said, "I heard the Prophet saying, 'Our property is not inherited,
and whatever we leave is to be given in charity. But the family of
Muhammad can take their sustenance from this property.' By Allah, I
would love to do good to the Kith and kin of Allah's Apostle rather
than to my own Kith and kin."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 369
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who
has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got
up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?" The
Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to
say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You
may say it." Then Muhammad bin Maslama went to Kab and said, "That
man (i.e. Muhammad demands Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) from us, and he has
troubled us, and I have come to borrow something from you." On that,
Kab said, "By Allah, you will get tired of him!" Muhammad bin
Maslama said, "Now as we have followed him, we do not want to leave
him unless and until we see how his end is going to be. Now we want
you to lend us a camel load or two of food." (Some difference
between narrators about a camel load or two.) Kab said, "Yes, (I
will lend you), but you should mortgage something to me." Muhammad
bin Mas-lama and his companion said, "What do you want?" Ka'b
replied, "Mortgage your women to me." They said, "How can we
mortgage our women to you and you are the most handsome of the
'Arabs?" Ka'b said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." They said, "How
can we mortgage our sons to you? Later they would be abused by the
people's saying that so-and-so has been mortgaged for a camel load
of food. That would cause us great disgrace, but we will mortgage
our arms to you." Muhammad bin Maslama and his companion promised
Kab that Muhammad would return to him. He came to Kab at night along
with Kab's foster brother, Abu Na'ila. Kab invited them to come into
his fort, and then he went down to them. His wife asked him, "Where
are you going at this time?" Kab replied, "None but Muhammad bin
Maslama and my (foster) brother Abu Na'ila have come." His wife
said, "I hear a voice as if dropping blood is from him, Ka'b said.
"They are none but my brother Muhammad bin Maslama and my foster
brother Abu Naila. A generous man should respond to a call at night
even if invited to be killed." Muhammad bin Maslama went with two
men. (Some narrators mention the men as 'Abu bin Jabr. Al Harith bin
Aus and Abbad bin Bishr). So Muhammad bin Maslama went in together
with two men, and sail to them, "When Ka'b comes, I will touch his
hair and smell it, and when you see that I have got hold of his
head, strip him. I will let you smell his head." Kab bin Al-Ashraf
came down to them wrapped in his clothes, and diffusing perfume.
Muhammad bin Maslama said. " have never smelt a better scent than
this. Ka'b replied. "I have got the best 'Arab women who know how to
use the high class of perfume." Muhammad bin Maslama requested Ka'b
"Will you allow me to smell your head?" Ka'b said, "Yes." Muhammad
smelt it and made his companions smell it as well. Then he requested
Ka'b again, "Will you let me (smell your head)?" Ka'b said, "Yes."
When Muhammad got a strong hold of him, he said (to his companions),
"Get at him!" So they killed him and went to the Prophet and
informed him. (Abu Rafi) was killed after Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 370
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:
Allah's Apostle sent a group of persons to Abu Rafi. Abdullah bin
Atik entered his house at night, while he was sleeping, and killed him.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 371
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:
Allah's Apostle sent some men from the Ansar to ((kill) Abu Rafi,
the Jew, and appointed 'Abdullah bin Atik as their leader. Abu Rafi
used to hurt Allah's Apostle and help his enemies against him. He
lived in his castle in the land of Hijaz. When those men approached
(the castle) after the sun had set and the people had brought back
their livestock to their homes. Abdullah (bin Atik) said to his
companions, "Sit down at your places. I am going, and I will try to
play a trick on the gate-keeper so that I may enter (the castle)."
So 'Abdullah proceeded towards the castle, and when he approached
the gate, he covered himself with his clothes, pretending to answer
the call of nature. The people had gone in, and the gate-keeper
(considered 'Abdullah as one of the castle's servants) addressing
him saying, "O Allah's Servant! Enter if you wish, for I want to
close the gate." 'Abdullah added in his story, "So I went in (the
castle) and hid myself. When the people got inside, the gate-keeper
closed the gate and hung the keys on a fixed wooden peg. I got up
and took the keys and opened the gate. Some people were staying late
at night with Abu Rafi for a pleasant night chat in a room of his.
When his companions of nightly entertainment went away, I ascended
to him, and whenever I opened a door, I closed it from inside. I
said to myself, 'Should these people discover my presence, they will
not be able to catch me till I have killed him.' So I reached him
and found him sleeping in a dark house amidst his family, I could
not recognize his location in the house. So I shouted, 'O Abu Rafi!'
Abu Rafi said, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the source of the
voice and hit him with the sword, and because of my perplexity, I
could not kill him. He cried loudly, and I came out of the house and
waited for a while, and then went to him again and said, 'What is
this voice, O Abu Rafi?' He said, 'Woe to your mother! A man in my
house has hit me with a sword! I again hit him severely but I did
not kill him. Then I drove the point of the sword into his belly
(and pressed it through) till it touched his back, and I realized
that I have killed him. I then opened the doors one by one till I
reached the staircase, and thinking that I had reached the ground, I
stepped out and fell down and got my leg broken in a moonlit night.
I tied my leg with a turban and proceeded on till I sat at the gate,
and said, 'I will not go out tonight till I know that I have killed
him.' So, when (early in the morning) the cock crowed, the announcer
of the casualty stood on the wall saying, 'I announce the death of
Abu Rafi, the merchant of Hijaz. Thereupon I went to my companions
and said, 'Let us save ourselves, for Allah has killed Abu Rafi,' So
I (along with my companions proceeded and) went to the Prophet and
described the whole story to him. "He said, 'Stretch out your
(broken) leg. I stretched it out and he rubbed it and it became All
right as if I had never had any ailment whatsoever."

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 372
Narrated Al-Bara:
Allah's Apostle sent 'Abdullah bin 'Atik and 'Abdullah bin 'Utba
with a group of men to Abu Rafi (to kill him). They proceeded till
they approached his castle, whereupon 'Abdullah bin Atik said to
them, "Wait (here), and in the meantime I will go and see."
'Abdullah said later on, "I played a trick in order to enter the
castle. By chance, they lost a donkey of theirs and came out
carrying a flaming light to search for it. I was afraid that they
would recognize me, so I covered my head and legs and pretended to
answer the call to nature. The gatekeeper called, 'Whoever wants to
come in, should come in before I close the gate.' So I went in and
hid myself in a stall of a donkey near the gate of the castle. They
took their supper with Abu Rafi and had a chat till late at night.
Then they went back to their homes. When the voices vanished and I
no longer detected any movement, I came out. I had seen where the
gate-keeper had kept the key of the castle in a hole in the wall. I
took it and unlocked the gate of the castle, saying to myself, 'If
these people should notice me, I will run away easily.' Then I
locked all the doors of their houses from outside while they were
inside, and ascended to Abu Rafi by a staircase. I saw the house in
complete darkness with its light off, and I could not know where the
man was. So I called, 'O Abu Rafi!' He replied, 'Who is it?' I
proceeded towards the voice and hit him. He cried loudly but my blow
was futile. Then I came to him, pretending to help him, saying with
a different tone of my voice, ' What is wrong with you, O Abu Rafi?'
He said, 'Are you not surprised? Woe on your mother! A man has come
to me and hit me with a sword!' So again I aimed at him and hit him,
but the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi cried loudly
and his wife got up. I came again and changed my voice as if I were
a helper, and found Abu Rafi lying straight on his back, so I drove
the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the sound of a
bone break. Then I came out, filled with astonishment and went to
the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it and got my leg
dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my companions limping. I said
(to them), 'Go and tell Allah's Apostle of this good news, but I
will not leave (this place) till I hear the news of his (i.e. Abu
Rafi's) death.' When dawn broke, an announcer of death got over the
wall and announced, 'I convey to you the news of Abu Rafi's death.'
I got up and proceeded without feeling any pain till I caught up
with my companions before they reached the Prophet to whom I
conveyed the good news."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 373
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
On the day of Uhud. the Prophet said, "This is Gabriel holding the
head of his horse and equipped with war material.'
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 374
Narrated Uqba bin Amir:
Allah's Apostle offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud
eight years after (their death), as if bidding farewell to the
living and the dead, then he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am
your predecessor before you, and I am a witness on you, and your
promised place to meet me will be Al-Haud (i.e. the Tank) (on the
Day of Resurrection), and I am (now) looking at it from this place
of mine. I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah,
but I am afraid that worldly life will tempt you and cause you to
compete with each other for it." That was the last look which I cast
on Allah's Apostle.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 375
Narrated Al-Bara:
We faced the pagans on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the
Prophet placed a batch of archers (at a special place) and appointed
'Abdullah (bin Jubair) as their commander and said, "Do not leave
this place; and if you should see us conquering the enemy, do not
leave this place, and if you should see them conquering us, do not
(come to) help us," So, when we faced the enemy, they took to their
heel till I saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting up
their clothes from their legs, revealing their leg-bangles. The
Muslims started saying, "The booty, the booty!" 'Abdullah bin Jubair
said, "The Prophet had taken a firm promise from me not to leave
this place." But his companions refused (to stay). So when they
refused (to stay there), (Allah) confused them so that they could
not know where to go, and they suffered seventy casualties. Abu
Sufyan ascended a high place and said, "Is Muhammad present amongst
the people?" The Prophet said, "Do not answer him." Abu Sufyan said,
"Is the son of Abu Quhafa present among the people?" The Prophet
said, "Do not answer him." Abd Sufyan said, "Is the son of
Al-Khattab amongst the people?" He then added, "All these people
have been killed, for, were they alive, they would have replied." On
that, 'Umar could not help saying, "You are a liar, O enemy of
Allah! Allah has kept what will make you unhappy." Abu Safyan said,
"Superior may be Hubal!" On that the Prophet said (to his
companions), "Reply to him." They asked, "What may we say?" He said,
"Say: Allah is More Elevated and More Majestic!" Abu Sufyan said,
"We have (the idol) Al-'Uzza, whereas you have no 'Uzza!" The
Prophet said (to his companions), "Reply to him." They said, "What
may we say?" The Prophet said, "Say: Allah is our Helper and you
have no helper." Abu Sufyan said, "(This) day compensates for our
loss at Badr and (in) the battle (the victory) is always undecided
and shared in turns by the belligerents. You will see some of your
dead men mutilated, but neither did I urge this action, nor am I
sorry for it." Narrated Jabir: Some people took wine in the morning
of the day of Uhud and were then killed as martyrs.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 376
Narrated Sad bin Ibrahim:
A meal was brought to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf while he was fasting.
He said, "Musab bin 'Umar was martyred, and he was better than I,
yet he was shrouded in a Burda (i.e. a sheet) so that, if his head
was covered, his feet became naked, and if his feet were covered,
his head became naked." 'Abdur-Rahman added, "Hamza was martyred and
he was better than 1. Then worldly wealth was bestowed upon us and
we were given thereof too much. We are afraid that the reward of our
deeds have been given to us in this life." 'Abdur-Rahman then
started weeping so much that he left the food.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 377
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
On the day of the battle of Uhud, a man came to the Prophet and
said, "Can you tell me where I will be if I should get martyred?"
The Prophet replied, "In Paradise." The man threw away some dates he
was carrying in his hand, and fought till he was martyred .
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 378
Narrated Khabbab bin Al-Art:
We migrated in the company of Allah's Apostle, seeking Allah's
Pleasure. So our reward became due and sure with Allah. Some of us
have been dead without enjoying anything of their rewards (here),
and one of them was Mus'ab bin 'Umar who was martyred on the day of
the battle of Uhud, and did not leave anything except a Namira (i.e.
a sheet in which he was shrouded). If we covered his head with it,
his feet became naked, and if we covered his feet with it, his head
became naked. So the Prophet said to us, "Cover his head with it and
put some Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet or throw
Idhkhir over his feet." But some amongst us have got the fruits of
their labor ripened, and they are collecting them.
Narrated Anas: His uncle (Anas bin An-Nadr) was absent from the
battle of Badr and he said, "I was absent from the first battle of
the Prophet (i.e. Badr battle), and if Allah should let me
participate in (a battle) with the Prophet, Allah will see how
strongly I will fight." So he encountered the day of Uhud battle.
The Muslims fled and he said, "O Allah ! I appeal to You to excuse
me for what these people (i.e. the Muslims) have done, and I am
clear from what the pagans have done." Then he went forward with his
sword and met Sad bin Mu'adh (fleeing), and asked him, "Where are
you going, O Sad? I detect a smell of Paradise before Uhud." Then he
proceeded on and was martyred. No-body was able to recognize him
till his sister recognized him by a mole on his body or by the tips
of his fingers. He had over 80 wounds caused by stabbing, striking
or shooting with arrows.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 379
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
When we wrote the Holy Quran, I missed one of the Verses of
Surat-al-Ahzab which I used to hear Allah's Apostle reciting. Then
we searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-Ansari.
The Verse was:--
'Among the Believers are men Who have been true to Their Covenant
with Allah, Of them, some have fulfilled Their obligations to Allah
(i.e. they have been Killed in Allah's Cause), And some of them are
(still) waiting" (33.23) So we wrote this in its place in the Quran.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 380
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
When the Prophet set out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of those who
had gone out with him, returned. The companions of the Prophet were
divided into two groups. One group said, "We will fight them (i.e.
the enemy)," and the other group said, "We will not fight them." So
there came the Divine Revelation:-- '(O Muslims!) Then what is the
matter within you that you are divided. Into two parties about the
hypocrites? Allah has cast them back (to disbelief) Because of what
they have earned.' (4.88) On that, the Prophet said, "That is Taiba
(i.e. the city of Medina) which clears one from one's sins as the
fire expels the impurities of silver."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 381
Narrated Jabir:
This Verse: "When two of your parties almost Decided to fall
away..." was revealed in our connection, i.e. Bani Salama and Bani
Haritha and I would not have liked that, if it was not revealed, for
Allah said:-- But Allah was their Protector.....(3.122)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 382
Narrated Jabir:
"Allah's Apostle said to me, "Have you got married O Jabir?" I
replied, "Yes." He asked "What, a virgin or a matron?" I replied,
"Not a virgin but a matron." He said, "Why did you not marry a young
girl who would have fondled with you?" I replied, "O Allah's
Apostle! My father was martyred on the day of Uhud and left nine
(orphan) daughters who are my nine sisters; so I disliked to have
another young girl of their age, but (I sought) an (elderly) woman
who could comb their hair and look after them." The Prophet said,
"You have done the right thing."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 383
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
That his father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud and
was in debt and left six (orphan) daughters. Jabir, added, "When the
season of plucking the dates came, I went to Allah's Apostle and
said, "You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, and
he was heavily in debt, and I would like that the creditors should
see you." The Prophet said, "Go and pile every kind of dates apart."
I did so and called him (i.e. the Prophet ). When the creditors saw
him, they started claiming their debts from me then in such a harsh
manner (as they had never done before). So when he saw their
attitude, he went round the biggest heap of dates thrice, and then
sat over it and said, 'O Jabir), call your companions (i.e. the
creditors).' Then he kept on measuring (and giving) to the creditors
(their due) till Allah paid all the debt of my father. I would have
been satisfied to retain nothing of those dates for my sisters after
Allah had paid the debts of my father. But Allah saved all the heaps
(of dates), so that when I looked at the heap where the Prophet had
been sitting, it seemed as if a single date had not been taken away
thereof."
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 384
Narrated Sad bin Abi Waqqas:
I saw Allah's Apostle on the day of the battle of Uhud accompanied
by two men fighting on his behalf. They were dressed in white and
were fighting as bravely as possible. I had never seen them before,
nor did I see them later on.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 385
Narrated Sad bin Abi Waqqas:
The Prophet took out a quiver (of arrows) for me on the day of Uhud
and said, "Throw (arrows); let my father and mother be sacrificed
for you."

Narrated Sad:
Allah's Apostle mentioned both his father and mother for me on the
day of the battle of Uhud.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 387
Narrated Ibn Al Musaiyab:
Sad bin Abi Waqqas said, "Allah's Apostle mentioned both his father
and mother for me on the day of the battle of Uhud." He meant when
the Prophet said (to Sad) while the latter was fighting. "Let my
father and mother be sacrificed for you!"

Narrated 'Ali: I have never heard the Prophet mentioning both his
father and mother for anybody other than Sad.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 389

Narrated Mu'tamir's father:
'Uthman said that on the day of the battle of Uhud, none remained
with the Prophet but Talha and Sad.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 391
Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid:
I have been in the company of 'AbdurRahman bin 'Auf, Talha bin
'Ubaidullah, Al-Miqdad and Sad, and I heard none of them narrating
anything from the Prophet excepting the fact that I heard Talha
narrating about the day of Uhud (battle) .
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 392
Narrated Qais:
I saw Talha's paralyzed hand with which he had protected the Prophet
on the day of Uhud.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 393
Narrated Anas:
When it was the day of Uhud, the people left the Prophet while Abu
Talha was in front of the Prophet shielding him with his leather
shield. Abu Talha was a skillful archer who used to shoot violently.
He broke two or three arrow bows on that day. If a man carrying a
quiver full of arrows passed by, the Prophet would say (to him), put
(scatter) its contents for Abu Talha." The Prophet would raise his
head to look at the enemy, whereupon Abu Talha would say, "Let my
father and mother be sacrificed for you ! Do not raise your head,
lest an arrow of the enemy should hit you. (Let) my neck (be struck)
rather than your neck." I saw 'Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, and
Um Sulaim rolling up their dresses so that I saw their leg-bangles
while they were carrying water skins on their backs and emptying
them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. They would return to
refill them and again empty them in the mouths of the (wounded)
people. The sword fell from Abu Talha's hand twice or thrice (on
that day).
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 394
Narrated 'Aisha:
When it was the day of Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then Satan,
Allah's Curse be upon him, cried loudly, "O Allah's Worshippers,
beware of what is behind!" On that, the front files of the (Muslim)
forces turned their backs and started fighting with the back files.
Hudhaifa looked, and on seeing his father Al-Yaman, he shouted, "O
Allah's Worshippers, my father, my father!" But by Allah, they did
not stop till they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive
you." (The sub-narrator, 'Urwa, said, "By Allah, Hudhaifa continued
asking Allah's Forgiveness for the killers of his father till he
departed to Allah (i.e. died).")
