Asd called Um Yaqub who came (to Abdullah) and said, "I have come to
know that you have cursed such-and-such (ladies)?" He replied, "Why
should I not curse these whom Allah's Apostle has cursed and who are
(cursed) in Allah's Book!" Um Yaqub said, "I have read the whole
Quran, but I did not find in it what you say." He said, "Verily, if
you have read it (i.e. the Quran), you have found it. Didn't you read:
'And whatsoever the Apostle gives you take it and whatsoever he
forbids you, you abstain (from it). (59.7)

them. Then Allah's Apostle said (to his companions). "Isn't there
anybody who can entertain this man tonight so that Allah may be
merciful to him?" An Ansari man got up and said, "I (will, entertain
him), O Allah's Apostle!" So he went to his wife and said to her,
"This is the guest of Allah's Apostle, so do not keep anything away
from him." She said. "By Allah, I have nothing but the children's
food." He said, "When the children ask for their dinner, put them to
bed and put out the light; we shall not take our meals tonight," She
did so. In the morning the Ansari man went to Allah's Apostle who
said, "Allah was pleased with (or He bestowed His Mercy) on
so-and-so and his wife (because of their good deed)." Then Allah
revealed:
'But give them preference over themselves even though they were in
need of that.' (59.9)

Narrated Ali:
Allah's Apostle sent me along with AzZubair and Al-Miqdad and said,
"Proceed till you reach a place called Raudat-Khakh where there is a
lady travelling in a howda on a camel. She has a letter. Take the
letter from her." So we set out, and our horses ran at full pace
till we reached Raudat Khakh, and behold, we saw the lady and said
(to her), "Take out the letter!" She said, "I have no letter with
me." We said, "Either you take out the letter or we will strip you
of your clothes." So she took the letter out of her hair braid. We
brought the letter to the Prophet and behold, it was addressed by
Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to some pagans at Mecca, informing them of
some of the affairs of the Prophet. The Prophet said, "What is this,
O Hatib?" Hatib replied, "Do not be hasty with me, O Allah's
Apostle! I am an Ansari man and do not belong to them (Quraish
infidels) while the emigrants who were with you had their relatives
who used to protect their families and properties at Mecca. So, to
compensate for not having blood relation with them.' I intended to
do them some favor so that they might protect my relatives (at
Mecca), and I did not do this out of disbelief or an inclination to
desert my religion." The Prophet then said (to his companions), "He
(Hatib) has told you the truth." 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Allow me to chop his head off?" The Apostle said, "He is one of
those who witnessed (fought in) the Battle of Badr, and what do you
know, perhaps Allah looked upon the people of Badr (Badr warriors)
and said, 'Do what you want as I have forgiven you.' " (Amr, a
sub-narrator, said,: This Verse was revealed about him (Hatib):
'O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends
or protectors.' (60.1)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 413
Narrated 'Ali:
Sufyan was asked whether (the Verse): 'Take not My enemies and your
enemies...'
was revealed in connection with Hatib. Sufyan replied, "This occurs

'Amr, not overlooking even a single letter thereof, and I do not

examine the believing women who migrated to him in accordance with
this Verse: 'O Prophet! When believing women come to you to take the
oath of allegiance to you... Verily! Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most
Merciful.' (60.12) 'Aisha said, "And if any of the believing women
accepted the condition (assigned in the above-mentioned Verse),
Allah's Apostle would say to her. "I have accepted your pledge of
allegiance." "He would only say that, for, by Allah, his hand never
touched, any lady during that pledge of allegiance. He did not
receive their pledge except by saying, "I have accepted your pledge
of allegiance for that."
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 415
Narrated Um Atiya:
We took the oath of allegiance to Allah's Apostle and he recited to us:
'They will not associate anything in worship with Allah,' and
forbade us to bewail the dead. Thereupon a lady withdrew her hand
(refrained from taking the oath of allegiance), and said, "But
such-and-such lady lamented over one of my relatives, so I must
reward (do the same over the dead relatives of) hers." The Prophet
did not object to that, so she went (there) and returned to the
Prophet so he accepted her pledge of allegiance.

subnarrator, often said that the Prophet: added, "Whoever among you
fulfills his pledge, will receive his reward from Allah, and whoever
commits any of those sins and receives the legal punishment (in this
life), his punishment will be an expiation for that sin; and whoever
commits any of those sins and Allah screens him, then it is up to

completing the prayer and the sermon) came down, as if I am now
looking at him waving at the men with his hand to sit down, and
walked through them till he, along with Bilal, reached (the rows of)
the women. Then he recited: 'O Prophet! When believing women come to
you to take the oath of allegiance that they will not worship
anything other than Allah, will not steal, will not commit illegal
sexual intercourse, will not kill their children, and will not utter
slander, intentionally forging falsehood (by making illegal children
belonging to their husbands)'....(60.12) Having finished, he said,

Prophet said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" (The, sub-narrator, Al-Hasan

said, "Who are they, O Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet did not reply
till I repeated my question thrice. At that time, Salman Al-Farisi
was with us. So Allah's Apostle put his hand on Salman, saying, "If
Faith were at (the place of) Ath-Thuraiya (pleiades, the highest

While I was taking part in a Ghazwa. I heard 'Abdullah bin Ubai (bin
Abi Salul) saying. "Don't spend on those who are with Allah's
Apostle, that they may disperse and go away from him. If we return
(to Medina), surely, the more honorable will expel the meaner
amongst them." I reported that (saying) to my uncle or to 'Umar who,
in his turn, informed the Prophet of it. The Prophet called me and I
narrated to him the whole story. Then Allah's Apostle sent for
'Abdullah bin Ubai and his companions, and they took an oath that
they did not say that. So Allah's Apostle disbelieved my saying and
believed his. I was distressed as I never was before. I stayed at
home and my uncle said to me. "You just wanted Allah's Apostle to
disbelieve your statement and hate you." So Allah revealed (the Sura
beginning with) 'When the hypocrites come to you.' (63.1) The
Prophet then sent for me and recited it and said, "O Zaid! Allah
confirmed your statement."

saying, "Don't spend on those who are with Allah's Apostle that they
may disperse and go away from him." He also said, "If we return to

informed my uncle of that and then my uncle informed Allah's Apostle
thereof. Allah's Apostle sent for 'Abdullah bin Ubai and his
companions. They swore that they did not say anything of that sort
Allah's Apostle deemed their statement true and rejected mine.
Thereof I became as distressed as I have never been before, and
stayed at home. Then Allah revealed (Surat Al-Munafiqin):
'When the hypocrites come to you.....(63.1) They are the ones who
say: Spend nothing on those who are with Allah's Apostle ..(63.7)
Verily the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner..' (63.7-8)

and 'Abdullah bin Ubai swore that he did not say. I returned to my
house and slept. Allah's Apostle then called me and I went to him.

they may disperse and go away from him." He also said, "If we return
to Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel therefrom the
meaner. So I went to the Prophet and informed him of that. He sent
for 'Abdullah bin Ubai and asked him, but 'Abdullah bin Ubai swore
that he did not say so. The people said, "Zaid told a lie to
'Allah's Apostle." What they said distressed me very much. Later
Allah revealed the confirmation of my statement in his saying:--
'(When the hypocrites come to you.' (63.1) So the Prophet called
them that they might ask Allah to forgive them, but they turned
their heads aside. (Concerning Allah's saying: 'Pieces of wood
propped up,' Zaid said; They were the most handsome men.)

"I mentioned that to my uncle who, in turn, mentioned it to the
Prophet. The Prophet called me and I told him about that. Then he
sent for 'Abdullah bin Ubai and his companions, and they swore that
they did not say so. The Prophet disbelieved my statement and
believed theirs. I was distressed as I have never been before, and I
remained in my house. My uncle said to me, "You just wanted the
Prophet to consider you a liar and hate you." Then Allah revealed:--
'When the hypocrites come to you, they say: 'We bear witness that
you are indeed the Apostle of Allah." (63.1) So the Prophet sent for
me and recited it and said, "Allah has confirmed your statement."

"O the emigrants! (Help!) Allah's Apostle heard that and said, "What
is this call for, which is characteristic of the period of
ignorance?" They said, "O Allah's Apostle! A man from the emigrants
kicked one of the Ansar (on the buttocks with his foot)." Allah's
Apostle said, "Leave it (that call) as is a detestable thing."

saying, O Allah! Forgive the Ansar and the Ansar children. The
subnarrator, Ibn Al-Fadl, is not sure whether the Prophet also said,
And their grand-children." Some of those who were present, asked

Apostle said, 'He is the one whose sound hearing Allah testified.'

foot). On that the Ansar said, 'O the Ansar!' and the emigrant said,

those who are pregnant, their prescribed period is until they
deliver their burdens." Abu Huraira said, I agree with my cousin
(Abu Salama)." Then Ibn 'Abbas sent his slave, Kuraib to Um Salama
to ask her (regarding this matter). She replied. "The husband of
Subai 'a al Aslamiya was killed while she was pregnant, and she

him. "It seems you have eaten Maghafir (a kind of bad-smelling
resin), for I smell in you the smell of Maghafir," (We did so) and
he replied. "No, but I was drinking honey in the house of Zainab,
the daughter of Jahsh, and I shall never take it again. I have taken
an oath as to that, and you should not tell anybody about it."
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 435
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
For the whole year I had the desire to ask 'Umar bin Al-Khattab
regarding the explanation of a Verse (in Surat Al-Tahrim) but I
could not ask him because I respected him very much. When he went to
perform the Hajj, I too went along with him. On our return, while we
were still on the way home. 'Umar went aside to answer the call of
nature by the Arak trees. I waited till he finished and then I
proceeded with him and asked him. "O chief of the Believers! Who
were the two wives of the Prophet who aided one another against
him?" He said, "They were Hafsa and 'Aisha." Then I said to him, "By
Allah, I wanted to ask you about this a year ago, but I could not do
so owing to my respect for you." 'Umar said, "Do not refrain from
asking me. If you think that I have knowledge (about a certain
matter), ask me; and if I know (something about it), I will tell
you." Then Umar added, "By Allah, in the Pre-lslamic Period of
Ignorance we did not pay attention to women until Allah revealed
regarding them what He revealed regarding them and assigned for them
what He has assigned. Once while I was thinking over a certain
matter, my wife said, "I recommend that you do so-and-so." I said to
her, "What have you got to do with the is matter? Why do you poke
your nose in a matter which I want to see fulfilled.?" She said, How
strange you are, O son of Al-Khattab! You don't want to be argued
with whereas your daughter, Hafsa surely, argues with Allah's
Apostle so much that he remains angry for a full day!" 'Umar then
reported; how he at once put on his outer garment and went to Hafsa
and said to her, "O my daughter! Do you argue with Allah's Apostle
so that he remains angry the whole day?" H. afsa said, "By Allah, we
argue with him." 'Umar said, "Know that I warn you of Allah's
punishment and the anger of Allah's Apostle . . . O my daughter!
Don't be betrayed by the one who is proud of her beauty because of
the love of Allah's Apostle for her (i.e. 'Aisha)." 'Umar addled,
"Then I went out to Um Salama's house who was one of my relatives,
and I talked to her. She said, O son of Al-Khattab! It is rather
astonishing that you interfere in everything; you even want to
interfere between Allah's Apostle and his wives!' By Allah, by her
talk she influenced me so much that I lost some of my anger. I left
her (and went home). At that time I had a friend from the Ansar who
used to bring news (from the Prophet) in case of my absence, and I
used to bring him the news if he was absent. In those days we were
afraid of one of the kings of Ghassan tribe. We heard that he
intended to move and attack us, so fear filled our hearts because of
that. (One day) my Ansari friend unexpectedly knocked at my door,
and said, "Open Open!' I said, 'Has the king of Ghassan come?' He
said, 'No, but something worse; Allah's Apostle has isolated himself
from his wives.' I said, 'Let the nose of 'Aisha and Hafsa be stuck
to dust (i.e. humiliated)!' Then I put on my clothes and went to
Allah's Apostle's residence, and behold, he was staying in an upper
room of his to which he ascended by a ladder, and a black slave of
Allah's Apostle was (sitting) on the first step. I said to him, 'Say
(to the Prophet ) 'Umar bin Al-Khattab is here.' Then the Prophet
admitted me and I narrated the story to Allah's Apostle. When I
reached the story of Um Salama, Allah's Apostle smiled while he was
lying on a mat made of palm tree leaves with nothing between him and
the mat. Underneath his head there was a leather pillow stuffed with
palm fibres, and leaves of a saut tree were piled at his feet, and
above his head hung a few water skins. On seeing the marks of the
mat imprinted on his side, I wept. He said.' 'Why are you weeping?'
I replied, "O Allah's Apostle! Caesar and Khosrau are leading the
life (i.e. Luxurious life) while you, Allah's Apostle though you
are, is living in destitute". The Prophet then replied. 'Won't you
be satisfied that they enjoy this world and we the Hereafter?' "
