While
I was praying in the Mosque, Allah's Apostle called me but I did not respond to
him. Later I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I was praying." He said,
"Didn't Allah say'--"Give your response to Allah (by obeying Him) and
to His Apostle when he calls you." (8.24)
He
then said to me, "I will teach you a Sura which is the greatest Sura in
the Qur'an, before you leave the Mosque." Then he got hold of my hand, and
when he intended to leave (the Mosque), I said to him, "Didn't you say to
me, 'I will teach you a Sura which is the greatest Sura in the Quran?' He said,
"Al-Hamdu-Lillah Rabbi-l-Alamin (i.e. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the
worlds) which is Al-Sab'a Al-Mathani (i.e. seven repeatedly recited Verses) and
the Grand Qur'an which has been given to me."

The
Prophet said, "On the Day of Resurrection the Believers will assemble and
say, 'Let us ask somebody to intercede for us with our Lord.' So they will go
to Adam and say, 'You are the father of all the people, and Allah created you
with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you, and taught you
the names of all things; so please intercede for us with your Lord, so that He
may relieve us from this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this
(i.e. intercession for you).' Then Adam will remember his sin and feel ashamed
thereof. He will say, 'Go to Noah, for he was the first Apostle, Allah sent to
the inhabitants of the earth.' They will go to him and Noah will say,
'I
am not fit for this undertaking.' He will remember his appeal to his Lord to do
what he had no knowledge of, then he will feel ashamed thereof and will say,
'Go to the Khalil--r-Rahman (i.e. Abraham).' They will go to him and he will
say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. Go to Moses, the slave to whom Allah
spoke (directly) and gave him the Torah .' So they will go to him and he will
say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.' and he will mention (his) killing a
person who was not a killer, and so he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord,
and he will say, 'Go to Jesus, Allah's Slave, His Apostle and Allah's Word and
a Spirit coming from Him. Jesus will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,
go to Muhammad the Slave of Allah whose past and future sins were forgiven by
Allah.' So they will come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my Lord's
Permission and I will be given permission. When I see my Lord, I will fall down
in Prostration and He will let me remain in that state as long as He wishes and
then I will be addressed.' (Muhammad!) Raise your head. Ask, and your request
will be granted; say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your
intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my head and praise Allah with a
saying (i.e. invocation) He will teach me, and then I will intercede. He will
fix a limit for me (to intercede for) whom I will admit into Paradise. Then I
will come back again to Allah, and when I see my Lord, the same thing will
happen to me. And then I will intercede and Allah will fix a limit for me to
intercede whom I will let into Paradise, then I will come back for the third
time; and then I will come back for the fourth time, and will say, 'None
remains in Hell but those whom the Quran has imprisoned (in Hell) and who have
been destined to an eternal stay in Hell.' " (The compiler) Abu 'Abdullah

'Abdullah
bin Salam heard the news of the arrival of Allah's Apostle (at Medina) while he
was on a farm collecting its fruits. So he came to the Prophet and said,
"I will ask you about three things which nobody knows unless he be a
prophet. Firstly, what is the first portent of the Hour? What is the first meal
of the people of Paradise? And what makes a baby look like its father or
mother?'. The Prophet said, "Just now Gabriel has informed me about
that." 'Abdullah said, "Gabriel?" The Prophet said,
"Yes." 'Abdullah said, "He, among the angels is the enemy of the
Jews." On that the Prophet recited this Holy Verse:--
"Whoever
is an enemy to Gabriel (let him die in his fury!) for he has brought it (i.e.
Qur'an) down to your heart by Allah's permission." (2.97) Then he added,
"As for the first portent of the Hour, it will be a fire that will collect
the people from the East to West. And as for the first meal of the people of
Paradise, it will be the caudite (i.e. extra) lobe of the fish liver. And if a
man's discharge proceeded that of the woman, then the child resembles the
father, and if the woman's discharge proceeded that of the man, then the child
resembles the mother." On hearing that, 'Abdullah said, "I testify
that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that you are the
Apostle of Allah, O, Allah's Apostle; the Jews are liars, and if they should
come to know that I have embraced Islam, they would accuse me of being a
liar." In the meantime some Jews came (to the Prophet) and he asked them,
"What is 'Abdullah's status amongst you?" They replied, "He is
the best amongst us, and he is our chief and the son of our chief." The
Prophet said, "What would you think if 'Abdullah bin Salam embraced Islam?"
They replied, "May Allah protect him from this!" Then 'Abdullah came
out and said, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah." The Jews then said,
"Abdullah is the worst of us and the son of the worst of us," and disparaged
him. On that 'Abdullah said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is what I was afraid

Mijanna and Dhul-Majaz were markets during the Pre-islamic Period. They (i.e.
Muslims) considered it a sin to trade there during the Hajj time (i.e. season),

The
Quraish people and those who embraced their religion, used to stay at Muzdalifa
and used to call themselves Al-Hums, while the rest of the Arabs used to stay
at 'Arafat. When Islam came, Allah ordered His Prophet to go to 'Arafat and
stay at it, and then pass on from there, and that is what is meant by the
Statement of Allah:--"Then depart from the place whence all the people

Ibn 'Abbas:
A
man who wants to perform the Hajj (from Mecca) can perform the Tawaf around the
Ka'ba as long as he is not in the state of Ihram till he assumes the Ihram for
Hajj. Then, if he rides and proceeds to 'Arafat, he should take a Hadi (i.e.
animal for sacrifice), either a camel or a cow or a sheep, whatever he can
afford; but if he cannot afford it, he should fast for three days during the
Hajj before the day of 'Arafat, but if the third day of his fasting happens to
be the day of 'Arafat (i.e. 9th of Dhul-Hijja) then it is no sin for him (to
fast on it). Then he should proceed to 'Arafat and stay there from the time of
the 'Asr prayer till darkness falls. Then the pilgrims should proceed from
'Arafat, and when they have departed from it, they reach Jam' (i.e.
Al-Muzdalifa) where they ask Allah to help them to be righteous and dutiful to
Him, and there they remember Allah greatly or say Takbir (i.e. Allah is
Greater) and Tahlil (i.e. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah) repeatedly
before dawn breaks. Then, after offering the morning (Fajr) prayer you should
pass on (to Mina) for the people used to do so and Allah said:--
"Then
depart from the place whence all the people depart. And ask for Allah's
Forgiveness. Truly! Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (2.199) Then
you should go on doing so till you throw pebbles over the Jamra.

Mujahi:
(regarding
the Verse):-- "Those of you who die and leave wives behind. They - (their
wives) -- shall wait (as regards their marriage ) for four months and ten
days)." (2.234)
The
widow, according to this Verse, was to spend this period of waiting with her
husband's family, so Allah revealed: "Those of you who die and leave wives
(i.e. widows) should bequeath for their wives, a year's maintenance and
residences without turning them out, but if they leave (their residence), there
is no blame on you for what they do with themselves provided it is honorable.'
(i.e. lawful marriage) (2.240).
So
Allah entitled the widow to be bequeathed extra maintenance for seven months
and twenty nights, and that is the completion of one year. If she wished she
could stay (in her husband's home) according to the will, and she could leave
it if she wished, as Allah says:
"..without
turning them out, but if they leave (the residence), there is no blame on
you." So the 'Idda (i.e. four months and ten days as it) is obligatory for
her.
'Ata
said: Ibn 'Abbas said, "This Verse, i.e. the Statement of Allah:
"..without turning them out.." cancelled the obligation of staying
for the waiting period in her dead husband's house, and she can complete this
period wherever she likes." 'Ata's aid: If she wished, she could complete
her 'Idda by staying in her dead husband's residence according to the will or
leave it according to Allah's Statement:--
"There
is no blame on you for what they do with themselves." 'Ata' added: Later
the regulations of inheritance came and abrogated the order of the dwelling of
the widow (in her dead husband's house), so she could complete the 'Idda
wherever she likes. And it was no longer necessary to provide her with a
residence. Ibn 'Abbas said, "This Verse abrogated her (i.e. widow's) dwelling
in her dead husband's house and she could complete the 'Idda (i.e. four months
and ten days) wherever she liked, as Allah's Statement says:--"...without

between the praying group and the enemy. When those who are with the Imam have
finished their one Rak'a, they retreat and take the positions of those who have
not prayed but they will not finish their prayers with Taslim. Those who have
not prayed, come forward to offer a Rak'a with the Imam (while the first group
covers them from the enemy). Then the Imam, having offered two Rakat, finishes
his prayer. Then each member of the two groups offer the second Rak'a alone
after the Imam has finished his prayer. Thus each one of the two groups will
have offered two Rakat. But if the fear is too great, they can pray standing on
their feet or riding on their mounts, facing the Qibla or not." Nafi

Abu
Sufyan narrated to me personally, saying, "I set out during the Truce that
had been concluded between me and Allah's Apostle. While I was in Sham, a
letter sent by the Prophet was brought to Heraclius. Dihya Al-Kalbi had brought
and given it to the governor of Busra, and the latter forwarded it to
Heraclius. Heraclius said, 'Is there anyone from the people of this man who
claims to be a prophet?' The people replied, 'Yes.' So I along with some of
Quraishi men were called and we entered upon Heraclius, and we were seated in
front of him. Then he said, 'Who amongst you is the nearest relative to the man
who claims to be a prophet?' So they made me sit in front of him and made my
companions sit behind me. Then he called upon his translator and said (to him).
'Tell them ( i.e. Abu Sufyan's companions) that I am going to ask him (i.e. Abu
Sufyan) regarding that man who claims to be a prophet. So, if he tell me a lie,
they should contradict him (instantly).' By Allah, had I not been afraid that
my companions would consider me a liar, I would have told lies. Heraclius then
said to his translator, 'Ask him: What is his (i.e. the Prophet's) family
status amongst you? I said, 'He belongs to a noble family amongst us."
Heraclius said, 'Was any of his ancestors a king?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Did
you ever accuse him of telling lies before his saying what he has said?' I
said, 'No.' He said, 'Do the nobles follow him or the poor people?' I said, 'It
is the poor who followed him.' He said, 'Is the number of his follower
increasing or decreasing?' I said, 'The are increasing.' He said, 'Does anyone
renounce his religion (i.e. Islam) after embracing it, being displeased with
it?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'Did you fight with him?' I replied, 'Yes.' He
said, 'How was your fighting with him?' I said, 'The fighting between us was
undecided and victory was shared by him and us by turns. He inflicts casualties
upon us and we inflict casualties upon him.' He said, 'Did he ever betray?' I
said, 'No, but now we are away from him in this truce and we do not know what
he will do in it" Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah, I was not able to
insert in my speech a word (against him) except that. Heraclius said, 'Did
anybody else (amongst you) ever claimed the same (i.e. Islam) before him? I
said, 'No.' Then Heraclius told his translator to tell me (i.e. Abu Sufyan), 'I
asked you about his family status amongst you, and you told me that he comes
from a noble family amongst you Verily, all Apostles come from the noblest
family among their people. Then I asked you whether any of his ancestors was a
king, and you denied that. Thereupon I thought that had one of his fore-fathers
been a king, I would have said that he (i.e. Muhammad) was seeking to rule the
kingdom of his fore-fathers. Then I asked you regarding his followers, whether
they were the noble or the poor among the people, and you said that they were
only the poor (who follow him). In fact, such are the followers of the
Apostles. Then I asked you whether you have ever accused him of telling lies
before saying what he said, and your reply was in the negative. Therefore, I took
for granted that a man who did not tell a lie about others, could ever tell a
lie about Allah. Then I asked you whether anyone of his followers had renounced
his religion (i.e. Islam) after embracing it, being displeased with it, and you
denied that. And such is Faith when it mixes with the cheerfulness of the
hearts. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing
You claimed that they were increasing. That is the way of true faith till it is
complete. Then I asked you whether you had ever fought with him, and you
claimed that you had fought with him and the battle between you and him was
undecided and the victory was shared by you and him in turns; he inflicted
casual ties upon you and you inflicted casualties upon them. Such is the case
with the Apostles; they are out to test and the final victory is for them. Then
I asked you whether he had ever betrayed; you claimed that he had never
betrayed. I need, Apostles never betray. Then I asked you whether anyone had
said this statement before him; and you denied that. Thereupon I thought if
somebody had said that statement before him, then I would have said that he was
but a man copying some sayings said before him." Abu Safyan said,
"Heraclius then asked me, 'What does he order you to do?' I said, 'He
orders us (to offer) prayers and (to pay) Zakat and to keep good relationship
with the Kith and kin and to be chaste.' Then Heraclius said, 'If whatever you
have said, is true, he is really a prophet, and I knew that he ( i.e. the
Prophet ) was going to appear, but I never thought that he would be from
amongst you. If I were certain that I can reach him, I would like to meet him
and if I were with him, I would wash his feet; and his kingdom will expand
(surely to what is under my feet.' Then Heraclius asked for the letter of
Allah's Apostle and read it wherein was written:
"In
the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. This letter is) from
Muhammad, Apostle of Allah, to Heraclius, the sovereign of Byzantine........
Peace be upon him who follows the Right Path. Now then, I call you to embrace
Islam. Embrace Islam and you will be saved (from Allah's Punishment); embrace
Islam, and Allah will give you a double reward, but if you reject this, you

Statement):--"O the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Come to
a word common to you and us that we worship None but Allah....bear witness that
we are Muslims.' (3.64)
When
he finished reading the letter, voices grew louder near him and there was a
great hue and cry, and we were ordered to go out." Abu Sufyan added,
"While coming out, I said to my companions, 'The situation of Ibn Abu
Kabsha (i.e. Muhammad) has become strong; even the king of Banu Al-Asfar is
afraid of him.' So I continued to believe that Allah's Apostle would be
victorious, till Allah made me embrace Islam." Az-Zuhri said,
"Heraclius then invited all the chiefs of the Byzantines and had them
assembled in his house and said, 'O group of Byzantines! Do you wish to have a
permanent success and guidance and that your kingdom should remain with you?'
(Immediately after hearing that), they rushed towards the gate like onagers,
but they found them closed. Heraclius then said, 'Bring them back to me.' So he
called them and said, 'I just wanted to test the strength of your adherence to
your religion. Now I have observed of you that which I like.' Then the people
fell in prostration before him and became pleased with him." (See Hadith

Torture on Mudar (tribe) and strike them with (famine) years like the years of

Usama bin Zaid:
Allah's
Apostle rode a donkey, equipped with a thick cloth-covering made in Fadak and
was riding behind him. He was going to pay visit to Sad bin Ubada in Banu
Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj; and this incident happened before the battle of Badr.
The Prophet passed by a gathering in which 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was
present, and that was before 'Abdullah bin Ubai embraced Islam. Behold in that
gathering there were people of different religions: there were Muslims, pagans,
idol-worshippers and Jews, and in that gathering 'Abdullah bin Rawaha was also
present. When a cloud of dust raised by the donkey reached that gathering,
'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and then said, "Do
not cover us with dust." Then Allah's Apostle greeted them and stopped and
dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to
them the Holy Qur'an. On that, 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Saluil said, "O man
! There is nothing better than that what you say. If it is the truth, then do
not trouble us with it in our gatherings. Return to your mount (or residence)
and if somebody comes to you, relate (your tales) to him." On that
'Abdullah bin Rawaha said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring it (i.e. what
you want to say) to us in our gathering, for we love that."
So
the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were
on the point of fighting with one another. The Prophet kept on quietening them
till they became quiet, whereupon the Prophet rode his animal (mount) and
proceeded till he entered upon Sad bin Ubada. The Prophet said to Sad,
"Did you not hear what 'Abu Hub-b said?" He meant 'Abdullah bin Ubai.
"He said so-and-so." On that Sad bin Ubada said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for by Him Who revealed the Book to you, Allah
brought the Truth which was sent to you at the time when the people of this
town (i.e. Medina) had decided unanimously to crown him and tie a turban on his
head (electing him as chief). But when Allah opposed that (decision) through
the Truth which Allah gave to you, he (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Ubai) was grieved
with jealously. and that caused him to do what you have seen." So Allah's
Apostle excused him, for the Prophet and his companions used to forgive the
pagans and the people of Scripture as Allah had ordered them, and they used to
put up with their mischief with patience. Allah said: "And you shall
certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture
before you and from the pagans........'(3.186) And Allah also said:--"Many
of the people of the Scripture wish if they could turn you away as disbelievers
after you have believed, from selfish envy.." (2.109)
So
the Prophet used to stick to the principle of forgiveness for them as long as
Allah ordered him to do so till Allah permitted fighting them. So when Allah's
Apostle fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed the nobles of Quraish
infidels through him, Ibn Ubai bin Salul and the pagans and idolaters who were
with him, said, "This matter (i.e. Islam) has appeared (i.e. became
victorious)." So they gave the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam)
to Allah's Apostle and became Muslims.

the exclusion of the latter's relatives, and that was because of the bond of
brotherhood which the Prophet had established between them (i.e. the Emigrants

heirs." was revealed, (the inheritance through bond of brotherhood) was
cancelled. Ibn Abbas then said: "And those to whom your right hands have

another she-camel as its second delivery. People (in the Pre-lslamic periods of

two she-camels successively without giving birth to a male camel in between.
'Ham' was the male camel which was used for copulation. When it had finished the

When
the Verse:--'If there are twenty steadfast amongst you (Muslims), they will
overcome two-hundred (non-Muslims).' was revealed, it became hard on the
Muslims when it became compulsory that one Muslim ought not to flee (in war)
before ten (non-Muslims). So (Allah) lightened the order by revealing:
'(But)
now Allah has lightened your (task) for He knows that there is weakness in you.
So if there are of you one-hundred steadfast, they will overcome (two-hundred
(non-Muslims).' (8.66) So when Allah reduced the number of enemies which
Muslims should withstand, their patience and perseverance against the enemy
decreased as much as their task was lightened for them.

he announced Allah's Forgiveness for us. His face used to look as bright as a

worse description one may be described with. Allah said: 'They will present

I
said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Nauf Al-Bikali claims that Moses, the companion of
Al-Khadir was not the Moses of the children of Israel" Ibn 'Abbas said,
"The enemy of Allah (Nauf) told a lie." Narrated Ubai bin Ka'b that
he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Moses got up to deliver a speech before
the children of Israel and he was asked, Who is the most learned person among
the people?' Moses replied, 'I (am the most learned).' Allah admonished him for
he did not ascribe knowledge to Allah alone. So Allah revealed to him: 'At the
junction of the two seas there is a slave of Ours who is more learned than
you.' Moses asked, 'O my Lord, how can I meet him?' Allah said, 'Take a fish
and put it in a basket (and set out), and where you, will lose the fish, you
will find him.' So Moses (took a fish and put it in a basket and) set out,
along with his boy-servant Yusha' bin Nun, till they reached a rock (on which)
they both lay their heads and slept. The fish moved vigorously in the basket
and got out of it and fell into the sea and there it took its way through the
sea (straight) as in a tunnel). (18.61) Allah stopped the current of water on
both sides of the way created by the fish, and so that way was like a tunnel.
When Moses got up, his companion forgot to tell him about the fish, and so they
carried on their journey during the rest of the day and the whole night.
The
next morning Moses asked his boy-servant 'Bring us our early meal; no doubt, we
have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours.' (18.62) Moses did not get
tired till he had passed the place which Allah had ordered him to seek after.
His boy-servant then said to him,' 'Do you remember when we be-took ourselves
to the rock I indeed forgot the fish, none but Satan made me forget to remember
it. It took its course into the sea in a marvelous way.' (18.63)
There
was a tunnel for the fish and for Moses and his boy-servant there was
astonishment. Moses said, 'That is what we have been seeking'. So they went
back retracing their footsteps. (18.64) They both returned, retracing their
steps till they reached the rock. Behold ! There they found a man covered with
a garment. Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir said astonishingly. 'Is there such a
greeting in your land?' Moses said, 'I am Moses.' He said, 'Are you the Moses
of the children of Israel?' Moses said, 'I have come to you so that you may
teach me of what you have been taught.
Al-Khadir
said, 'You will not be able to have patience with me. (18.66) O Moses! I have
some of Allah's knowledge which He has bestowed upon me but you do not know it;
and you too, have some of Allah's knowledge which He has bestowed upon you, but
I do not know it." Moses said, "Allah willing, you will find me
patient, and I will not disobey you in anything.' (18.6) Al-Khadir said to him.
'If you then follow me, do not ask me about anything until I myself speak to
you concerning it.' (18.70), After that both of them proceeded along the sea
coast, till a boat passed by and they requested the crew to let them go on
board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and allowed them to get on board free of
charge. When they got on board suddenly Moses saw that Al-Khadir had pulled out
one of the planks of the boat with an adze. Moses said to him.' These people
gave us a free lift, yet you have scuttled their boat so as to drown its
people! Truly, you have done a dreadful thing.' (18.71)
Al-Khadir
said, 'Didn't I say that you can have no patience with me ?' (18.72) Moses
said, 'Call me not to account for what I forgot and be not hard upon me for my affair
(with you.)" (18.73)
Allah's
Apostle said, "The first excuse given by Moses, was that he had forgotten.
Then a sparrow came and sat over the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once
in the sea. Al-Khadir said to Moses, 'My knowledge and your knowledge, compared
to Allah's knowledge is like what this sparrow has taken out of the sea.' Then
they both got out of the boat, and while they were walking on the sea shore,
Al-Khadir saw a boy playing with other boys. Al-Khadir got hold of the head of
that boy and pulled it out with his hands and killed him. Moses said, 'Have you
killed an innocent soul who has killed nobody! Truly, you have done an illegal
thing.' (18.74) He said, "Didn't I tell you that you can have no patience
with me?' (18.75) (The sub narrator said, the second blame was stronger than
the first one.) Moses said, 'If I ask you about anything after this, keep me
not in your company, you have received an excuse from me.' (18.76)
Then
they both proceeded until they came to the inhabitants of a town. They asked
them food but they refused to entertain them. (In that town) they found there a
wall on the point of falling down. (18.77) Al-Khadir set it up straight with
his own hands. Moses said, 'These are people to whom we came, but they neither
fed us nor received us as guests. If you had wished, you could surely have
exacted some recompense for it. Al-Khadir said, 'This is the parting between me
and you ..that is the interpretation of (those things) over which you were
unable to hold patience.' (18.78-82)
Allah's
Apostle said, "We wished that Moses could have been more patient so that
Allah might have described to us more about their story."

that he (Al-Khadir's companion) is not Moses of Bani Israel." As for 'Amr,
he said to me, "Ibn 'Abbas said, "(Nauf) the enemy of Allah told a

Allah's Apostle said, 'Once Moses, Allah's Apostle, preached to the people till
their eyes shed tears and their hearts became tender, whereupon he finished his
sermon. Then a man came to Moses and asked, 'O Allah's Apostle! Is there anyone
on the earth who is more learned than you?' Moses replied, 'No.' So Allah
admonished him (Moses), for he did not ascribe all knowledge to Allah. It was
said, (on behalf of Allah), 'Yes, (there is a slave of ours who knows more than
you ).' Moses said, 'O my Lord! Where is he?' Allah said, 'At the junction of
the two seas.' Moses said, 'O my Lord ! Tell I me of a sign whereby I will
recognize the place.' " 'Amr said to me, Allah said, "That place will
be where the fish will leave you." Ya'la said to me, "Allah said (to
Moses), 'Take a dead fish (and your goal will be) the place where it will
become alive.' " So Moses took a fish and put it in a basket and said to

'And

(Said did not state that). The Prophet said, "While the attendant was in
the shade of the rock at a wet place, the fish slipped out (alive) while Moses
was sleeping. His attend an said (to himself), "I will not wake him, but
when he woke up, he forgot to tell him The fish slipped out and entered the
sea. Allah stopped the flow of the sea. where the fish was, so that its trace
looked as if it was made on a rock. 'Amr forming a hole with his two thumbs an
index fingers, said to me, "Like this, as in its trace was made on a
rock." Moses said "We have suffered much fatigue on this journey of
ours." (This was not narrate by Said). Then they returned back and found
Al-Khadir. 'Uthman bin Abi Sulaiman said to me, (they found him) on a green
carpet in the middle of the sea. Al-Khadir was covered with his garment with
one end under his feet and the other end under his head. When Moses greeted, he
uncovered his face and said astonishingly, 'Is there such a greeting in my
land? Who are you?' Moses said, 'I am Moses.' Al-Khadir said, 'Are you the
Moses of Bani Israel?' Moses said, 'Yes.' Al-Khadir said, "What do you
want?' Moses said, ' I came to you so that you may teach me of the truth which
you were taught.' Al-Khadir said, 'Is it not sufficient for you that the Torah
is in your hands and the Divine Inspiration comes to you, O Moses? Verily, I
have a knowledge that you ought not learn, and you have a knowledge which I
ought not learn.' At that time a bird took with its beak (some water) from the
sea: Al-Khadir then said, 'By Allah, my knowledge and your knowledge besides
Allah's Knowledge is like what this bird has taken with its beak from the sea.'
Until, when they went on board the boat (18.71). They found a small boat which
used to carry the people from this sea-side to the other sea-side. The crew
recognized Al-Khadir and said, 'The pious slave of Allah.' (We said to Said
"Was that Khadir?" He said, "Yes.") The boat men said, 'We
will not get him on board with fare.' Al-Khadir scuttled the boat and then
plugged the hole with a piece o wood. Moses said, 'Have you scuttle it in order
to drown these people surely, you have done a dreadful thing. (18.71) (Mujahid
said. "Moses said so protestingly.") Al-Khadir said, didn't I say
that you can have no patience with me?' (18.72) The first inquiry of Moses was
done because of forget fullness, the second caused him to be bound with a stipulation,
and the third was done he intentionally. Moses said, 'Call me not to account
for what I forgot and be not hard upon me for my affair (with you).' (18.73)
(Then)
they found a boy and Al-Khadir killed him. Ya'la- said: Said said 'They found
boys playing and Al-Khadir got hold of a handsome infidel boy laid him down and
then slew him with knife. Moses said, 'Have you killed a innocent soul who has
killed nobody' (18.74) Then they proceeded and found a wall which was on the
point of falling down, and Al-Khadir set it up straight Said moved his hand
thus and said 'Al-Khadir raised his hand and the wall became straight. Ya'la
said, 'I think Said said, 'Al-Khadir touched the wall with his hand and it
became straight (Moses said to Al-Khadir), 'If you had wished, you could have
taken wages for it. Said said, 'Wages that we might had eaten.' And there was a
king in furor (ahead) of them" (18.79) And there was in front of them. Ibn
'Abbas recited: 'In front of them (was) a king.'
It
is said on the authority of somebody other than Said that the king was Hudad
bin Budad. They say that the boy was called Haisur. 'A king who seized every
ship by force. (18.79) So I wished that if that boat passed by him, he would
leave it because of its defect and when they have passed they would repair it
and get benefit from it. Some people said that they closed that hole with a
bottle, and some said with tar. 'His parents were believers, and he (the boy)
was a non-believer and we(Khadir) feared lest he would oppress them by
obstinate rebellion and disbelief.' (18.80) (i.e. that their love for him would
urge them to follow him in his religion, 'so we (Khadir) desired that their
Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and near to
mercy' (18:81). This was in reply to Moses' saying: Have you killed an innocent
soul.'? (18.74). 'Near to mercy" means they will be more merciful to him
than they were to the former whom Khadir had killed. Other than Sa'id, said
that they were compensated with a girl. Dawud bin Abi 'Asim said on the
authority of more than one that this next child was a girl.

Said bin Jubair:
I
said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Nauf-al-Bakali " claims that Moses of Bani
Israel was not Moses, the companion of Al-Khadir." Ibn 'Abbas said,
"Allah's enemy tells a lie! Ubai bin Ka'b narrated to us that Allah's
Apostle said, 'Moses got up to deliver a sermon before Bani Israel and he was
asked, 'Who is the most learned person among the people?' Moses replied, 'I (am
the most learned).' Allah then admonished Moses for he did not ascribe all
knowledge to Allah only (Then) came the Divine Inspiration:-- 'Yes, one of Our
slaves at the junction of the two seas is more learned than you.'
Moses
said, 'O my Lord ! How can meet him?' Allah said, 'Take a fish in a basket and
wherever the fish is lost, follow it (you will find him at that place). So
Moses set out along with his attendant Yusha' bin Nun, and they carried with
them a fish till they reached a rock and rested there. Moses put his head down and
slept. (Sufyan, a sub-narrator said that somebody other than 'Amr said) 'At the
rock there was a water spring called 'Al-Hayat' and none came in touch with its
water but became alive. So some of the water of that spring fell over that
fish, so it moved and slipped out of the basket and entered the sea. When Moses
woke up, he asked his attendant, 'Bring our early meal' (18.62).
The
narrator added: Moses did not suffer from fatigue except after he had passed
the place he had been ordered to observe. His attendant Yusha bin Nun said to
him, 'Do you remember (what happened) when we betook ourselves to the rock? I
did indeed forget (about) the fish ...' (18.63) The narrator added: So they
came back, retracing their steps and then they found in the sea, the way of the
fish looking like a tunnel. So there was an astonishing event for his
attendant, and there was tunnel for the fish. When they reached the rock, they
found a man covered with a garment. Moses greeted him. The man said
astonishingly, 'Is there any such greeting in your land?' Moses said, 'I am
Moses.' The man said, 'Moses of Bani Israel?' Moses said, 'Yes,' and added,
'may I follow you so that you teach me something of the Knowledge which you
have been taught?' (18.66). Al-Khadir said to him, 'O Moses! You have something
of Allah's knowledge which Allah has taught you and which I do not know; and I
have something of Allah's knowledge which Allah has taught me and which you do
not know.' Moses said, 'But I will follow you.' Al-Khadir said, 'Then if you
follow me, ask me no question about anything until I myself speak to you
concerning it.' (18.70). After that both of them proceeded along the seashore.
There passed by them a boat whose crew recognized Al-Khadir and received them
on board free of charge. So they both got on board. A sparrow came and sat on
the edge of the boat and dipped its beak unto the sea. Al-Khadir said to Moses.
'My knowledge and your knowledge and all the creation's knowledge compared to
Allah's knowledge is not more than the water taken by this sparrow's beak.'
Then
Moses was startled by Al-Khadir's action of taking an adze and scuttling the
boat with it. Moses said to him, 'These people gave us a free lift, but you
intentionally scuttled their boat so as to drown them. Surely you have...'
(18.71) Then they both proceeded and found a boy playing with other boys.
Al-Khadir took hold of him by the head and cut it off. Moses said to him, 'Have
you killed an innocent soul who has killed nobody? Surely you have done an
illegal thing! ' (18.74) He said, "Didn't I tell you that you will not be
able to have patient with me up to ..but they refused to entertain them as
their guests. There they found a wall therein at the point of collapsing.'
(18.75-77) Al-Khadir moved his hand thus and set it upright (repaired it).
Moses said to him, 'When we entered this town, they neither gave us hospitality
nor fed us; if you had wished, you could have taken wages for it,' Al-Khadir
said, 'This is the parting between you and me I will tell you the interpretation
of (those things) about which you were unable to hold patience.'...(18.78)
Allah's
Apostle said, 'We wished that Moses could have been more patient so that He
(Allah) could have described to us more about their story.' Ibn 'Abbas used to
recite:-- 'And in front (ahead) of them there was a king who used to seize
every (serviceable) boat by force. (18.79) ...and as for the boy he was a
disbeliever. "

(The
wife of the Prophet) Whenever Allah's Apostle intended to go on a journey, he
used to draw lots among his wives and would take with him the one on whom the
lot had fallen. Once he drew lots when he wanted to carry out a Ghazwa, and the
lot came upon me. So I proceeded with Allah's Apostle after Allah's order of
veiling (the women) had been revealed and thus I was carried in my howdah (on a
camel) and dismounted while still in it. We carried on our journey, and when
Allah's Apostle had finished his Ghazwa and returned and we approached Medina,
Allah's Apostle ordered to proceed at night. When the army was ordered to
resume the homeward journey, I got up and walked on till I left the army (camp)
behind. When I had answered the call of nature, I went towards my howdah, but
behold ! A necklace of mine made of Jaz Azfar (a kind of black bead) was broken
and I looked for it and my search for it detained me. The group of people who
used to carry me, came and carried my howdah on to the back of my camel on
which I was riding, considering that I was therein. At that time women were
light in weight and were not fleshy for they used to eat little (food), so
those people did not feel the lightness of the howdah while raising it up, and
I was still a young lady. They drove away the camel and proceeded. Then I found
my necklace after the army had gone. I came to their camp but found nobody
therein so I went to the place where I used to stay, thinking that they would
miss me and come back in my search. While I was sitting at my place, I felt
sleepy and slept. Safwan bin Al-Mu'attil As-Sulami Adh-Dhakw-ani was behind the
army. He had started in the last part of the night and reached my stationing
place in the morning and saw the figure of a sleeping person. He came to me and
recognized me on seeing me for he used to see me before veiling. I got up
because of his saying: "Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun," which he
uttered on recognizing me. I covered my face with my garment, and by Allah, he
did not say to me a single word except, "Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi
rajiun," till he made his she-camel kneel down whereupon he trod on its
forelegs and I mounted it. Then Safwan set out, leading the she-camel that was
carrying me, till we met the army while they were resting during the hot
midday. Then whoever was meant for destruction, fell in destruction, and the
leader of the Ifk (forged statement) was 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. After
this we arrived at Medina and I became ill for one month while the people were
spreading the forged statements of the people of the Ifk, and I was not aware
of anything thereof. But what aroused my doubt while I was sick, was that I was
no longer receiving from Allah's Apostle the same kindness as I used to receive
when I fell sick. Allah's Apostle would enter upon me, say a greeting and add,
"How is that (lady)?" and then depart.
That
aroused my suspicion but I was not aware of the propagated evil till I
recovered from my ailment. I went out with Um Mistah to answer the call of nature
towards Al-Manasi, the place where we used to relieve ourselves, and used not
to go out for this purpose except from night to night, and that was before we
had lavatories close to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar to the
habit of the old 'Arabs (in the deserts or in the tents) concerning the
evacuation of the bowels, for we considered it troublesome and harmful to take
lavatories in the houses. So I went out with Um Mistah who was the daughter of
Abi Ruhm bin Abd Manaf, and her mother was daughter of Sakhr bin Amir who was
the aunt of Abi Bakr As-Siddiq, and her son was Mistah bin Uthatha. When we had
finished our affair, Um Mistah and I came back towards my house. Um Mistah
stumbled over her robe whereupon she said, "Let Mistah be ruined ! "
I said to her, "What a bad word you have said! Do you abuse a man who has
taken part in the Battle of Badr?' She said, "O you there! Didn't you hear
what he has said?" I said, "And what did he say?" She then told
me the statement of the people of the Ifk (forged statement) which added to my
ailment. When I returned home, Allah's Apostle came to me, and after greeting,
he said, "How is that (lady)?" I said, "Will you allow me to go
to my parents?" At that time I intended to be sure of the news through
them. Allah's Apostle allowed me and I went to my parents and asked my mother,
"O my mother! What are the people talking about?" My mother said,
"O my daughter! Take it easy, for by Allah, there is no charming lady who
is loved by her husband who has other wives as well, but that those wives would
find fault with her." I said, "Subhan Allah! Did the people really
talk about that?"
That
night I kept on weeping the whole night till the morning. My tears never
stopped, nor did I sleep, and morning broke while I was still weeping, Allah's
Apostle called 'Ali bin Abi Talib and Usama bin Zaid when the Divine
Inspiration delayed, in order to consult them as to the idea of divorcing his
wife. Usama bin Zaid told Allah's Apostle of what he knew about the innocence
of his wife and of his affection he kept for her. He said, "O Allah's
Apostle! She is your wife, and we do not know anything about her except
good." But 'Ali bin Abi Talib said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allah does
not impose restrictions on you; and there are plenty of women other than her.
If you however, ask (her) slave girl, she will tell you the truth." 'Aisha
added: So Allah's Apostle called for Barira and said, "O Barira! Did you
ever see anything which might have aroused your suspicion? (as regards Aisha).
Barira said, "By Allah Who has sent you with the truth, I have never seen
anything regarding Aisha which I would blame her for except that she is a girl
of immature age who sometimes sleeps and leaves the dough of her family
unprotected so that the domestic goats come and eat it." So Allah's
Apostle got up (and addressed) the people an asked for somebody who would take
revenge on 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul then. Allah's Apostle, while on the
pulpit, said, "O Muslims! Who will help me against a man who has hurt me
by slandering my family? By Allah, I know nothing except good about my family,
and people have blamed a man of whom I know nothing except good, and he never
used to visit my family except with me," Sad bin Muadh Al-Ansari got up
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! By Allah, I will relieve you from him. If he
be from the tribe of (Bani) Al-Aus, then I will chop his head off; and if he be
from our brethren, the Khazraj, then you give us your order and we will obey
it." On that, Sad bin 'Ubada got up, and he was the chief of the Khazraj,
and before this incident he had been a pious man but he was incited by his zeal
for his tribe. He said to Sad (bin Muadh), "By Allah the Eternal, you have
told a lie! You shall not kill him and you will never be able to kill him!"
On that, Usaid bin Hudair, the cousin of Sad (bin Muadh) got up and said to Sad
bin 'Ubada, "You are a liar! By Allah the Eternal, we will surely kill
him; and you are a hypocrite defending the hypocrites!" So the two tribes
of Al-Aus and Al-Khazraj got excited till they were on the point of fighting
with each other while Allah's Apostle was standing on the pulpit. Allah's
Apostle continued quietening them till they became silent whereupon he became
silent too. On that day I kept on weeping so much that neither did my tears
stop, nor could I sleep. In the morning my parents were with me, and I had wept
for two nights and a day without sleeping and with incessant tears till they
thought that my liver would burst with weeping. While they were with me and I was
weeping, an Ansari woman asked permission to see me. I admitted her and she sat
and started weeping with me. While I was in that state, Allah's Apostle came to
us, greeted, and sat down,. He had never sat with me since the day what was
said, was said. He had stayed a month without receiving any Divine Inspiration
concerning my case. Allah's Apostle recited the Tashahhud after he had sat
down, and then said, "Thereafter, O 'Aisha! I have been informed such
and-such a thing about you; and if you are innocent, Allah will reveal your
innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then ask for Allah's forgiveness
and repent to Him, for when a slave confesses his sin and then repents to
Allah, Allah accepts his repentance." When Allah's Apostle had finished
his speech, my tears ceased completely so that I no longer felt even a drop
thereof. Then I said to my father, "Reply to Allah's Apostle on my behalf
as to what he said." He said, "By Allah, I do not know what to say to
Allah's Apostle." Then I said to my mother, "Reply to Allah's
Apostle."
She
said, "I do not know what to say to Allah's Apostle." Still a young
girl as I was and though I had little knowledge of Quran, I said, "By
Allah, I know that you heard this story (of the Ifk) so much so that it has
been planted in your minds and you have believed it. So now, if I tell you that
I am innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you will not believe me; and
if I confess something, and Allah knows that I am innocent of it, you will
believe me. By Allah, I cannot find of you an example except that of Joseph's
father: "So (for me) patience is most fitting against that which you
assert and it is Allah (Alone) Whose help can be sought. Then I turned away and
lay on my bed, and at that time I knew that I was innocent and that Allah would
reveal my innocence. But by Allah, I never thought that Allah would sent down
about my affair, Divine Inspiration that would be recited (forever), as I
considered myself too unworthy to be talked of by Allah with something that was
to be recited: but I hoped that Allah's Apostle might have a vision in which
Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah, Allah's Apostle had not left his seat
and nobody had left the house when the Divine Inspiration came to Allah's
Apostle . So there overtook him the same hard condition which used to overtake
him (when he was Divinely Inspired) so that the drops of his sweat were running
down, like pearls, though it was a (cold) winter day, and that was because of
the heaviness of the Statement which was revealed to him. When that state of
Allah's Apostle was over, and he was smiling when he was relieved, the first
word he said was, "Aisha, Allah has declared your innocence." My
mother said to me, "Get up and go to him." I said, "By Allah, I
will not go to him and I will not thank anybody but Allah." So Allah
revealed: "Verily! They who spread the Slander are a gang among you. Think
it not...." (24.11-20).
When
Allah revealed this to confirm my innocence, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq who used to
provide for Mistah bin Uthatha because of the latter's kinship to him and his
poverty, said, "By Allah, I will never provide for Mistah anything after
what he has said about Aisha". So Allah revealed:
"Let
not those among you who are good and are wealthy swear not to give (help) to
their kinsmen, those in need, and those who have left their homes for Allah's
Cause. Let them Pardon and forgive (i.e. do not punish them). Do you not love
that should forgive you? Verily Allah is Oft-forgiving. Most Merciful."
(24.22)
Abu
Bakr said, "Yes, by Allah, I wish that Allah should forgive me." So
he resumed giving Mistah the aid he used to give him before and said, "By
Allah, I will never withold it from him at all." Aisha further said:
Allah's Apostle also asked Zainab bint Jahsh about my case. He said, "O
Zainab! What have you seen?" She replied, "O Allah's Apostle! I
protect my hearing and my sight (by refraining from telling lies). I know
nothing but good (about Aisha)." Of all the wives of Allah's Apostle, it
was Zainab who aspired to receive from him the same favor as I used to receive,
yet, Allah saved her (from telling lies) because of her piety. But her sister,
Hamna, kept on fighting on her behalf so she was destroyed as were those who
invented and spread the slander.

Aisha:
When
there was said about me what was said which I myself was unaware of, Allah's
Apostle got up and addressed the people. He recited Tashah-hud, and after
glorifying and praising Allah as He deserved, he said, "To proceed: O
people Give me your opinion regarding those people who made a forged story
against my wife. By Allah, I do not know anything bad about her. By Allah, they
accused her of being with a man about whom I have never known anything bad, and
he never entered my house unless I was present there, and whenever I went on a
journey, he went with me." Sad bin Mu'adh got up and said, "O Allah's
Apostle Allow me to chop their heads off" Then a man from the Al-Khazraj
(Sa'd bin 'Ubada) to whom the mother of (the poet) Hassan bin Thabit was a
relative, got up and said (to Sad bin Mu'adh), "You have told a lie! By
Allah, if those persons were from the Aus Tribe, you would not like to chop
their heads off." It was probable that some evil would take place between
the Aus and the Khazraj in the mosque, and I was unaware of all that. In the
evening of that day, I went out for some of my needs (i.e. to relieve myself),
and Um Mistah was accompanying me. On our return, Um Mistah stumbled and said,
"Let Mistah. be ruined" I said to her, "O mother Why do you
abuse your Son" On that Um Mistah became silent for a while, and stumbling
again, she said, "Let Mistah be ruined" I said to her, "Why do
you abuse your son?" She stumbled for the third time and said, "Let
Mistah be ruined" whereupon I rebuked her for that. She said, "By
Allah, I do not abuse him except because of you." I asked her,
"Concerning what of my affairs?" So she disclosed the whole story to
me. I said, "Has this really happened?" She replied, "Yes, by
Allah." I returned to my house, astonished (and distressed) that I did not
know for what purpose I had gone out. Then I became sick (fever) and said to
Allah's Apostle "Send me to my father's house." So he sent a slave with
me, and when I entered the house, I found Um Rum-an (my mother) downstairs
while (my father) Abu Bakr was reciting something upstairs. My mother asked,
"What has brought you, O (my) daughter?" I informed her and mentioned
to her the whole story, but she did not feel it as I did. She said, "O my
daughter! Take it easy, for there is never a charming lady loved by her husband
who has other wives but that they feel jealous of her and speak badly of
her." But she did not feel the news as I did. I asked (her), "Does my
father know about it?" She said, "yes" I asked, Does Allah's
Apostle know about it too?" She said, "Yes, Allah's Apostle does
too." So the tears filled my eyes and I wept. Abu Bakr, who was reading
upstairs heard my voice and came down and asked my mother, "What is the
matter with her? " She said, "She has heard what has been said about
her (as regards the story of Al-lfk)." On that Abu- Bakr wept and said,
"I beseech you by Allah, O my daughter, to go back to your home" I
went back to my home and Allah's Apostle had come to my house and asked my
maid-servant about me (my character). The maid-servant said, "By Allah, I
do not know of any defect in her character except that she sleeps and let the
sheep enter (her house) and eat her dough." On that, some of the Prophet's
companions spoke harshly to her and said, "Tell the truth to Allah's
Apostle." Finally they told her of the affair (of the slander). She said,
"Subhan Allah! By Allah, I know nothing against her except what goldsmith
knows about a piece of pure gold." Then this news reached the man who was
accused, and he said, "Subhan Allah! By Allah, I have never uncovered the
private parts of any woman." Later that man was martyred in Allah's Cause.
Next morning my parents came to pay me a visit and they stayed with me till
Allah's Apostle came to me after he had offered the Asr prayer. He came to me
while my parents were sitting around me on my right and my left. He praised and
glorified Allah and said, "Now then O 'Aisha! If you have committed a bad
deed or you have wronged (yourself), then repent to Allah as Allah accepts the
repentance from his slaves." An Al-Ansari woman had come and was sitting
near the gate. I said (to the Prophet). "Isn't it improper that you speak
in such a way in the presence of this lady? Allah's Apostle then gave a piece
of advice and I turned to my father and requested him to answer him (on my
behalf). My father said, "What should I say?" Then I turned to my
mother and asked her to answer him. She said, "What should I say?"
When my parents did not give a reply to the Prophet, I said, "I testify
that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad is His
Apostle!" And after praising and glorifying Allah as He deserves, I said,
"Now then, by Allah, if I were to tell you that I have not done (this evil
action) and Allah is a witness that I am telling the truth, that would not be
of any use to me on your part because you (people) have spoken about it and
your hearts have absorbed it; and if I were to tell you that I have done this
sin and Allah knows that I have not done it, then you will say, 'She has
confessed herself guilty." By Allah, 'I do not see a suitable example for
me and you but the example of (I tried to remember Jacob's name but couldn't) Joseph's
father when he said; So (for me) "Patience is most fitting against that
which you assert. It is Allah (alone) whose help can be sought.' At that very
hour the Divine Inspiration came to Allah's Apostle and we remained silent.
Then the Inspiration was over and I noticed the signs of happiness on his face
while he was removing (the sweat) from his forehead and saying, "Have the
good tidings O ' "Aisha! Allah has revealed your innocence." At that
time I was extremely angry. My parents said to me. "Get up and go to
him." I said, "By Allah, I will not do it and will not thank him nor
thank either of you, but I will thank Allah Who has revealed my innocence. You
have heard this story but neither did not deny it nor change it (to defend
me)," (Aisha used to say:) "But as regards Zainab bint Jahsh, (the
Prophet's wife), Allah protected her because of her piety, so she did not say
anything except good (about me), but her sister, Hamna, was ruined among those
who were ruined. Those who used to speak evil about me were Mistah, Hassan bin
Thabit, and the hypocrite, Abdullah bin Ubai, who used to spread that news and
tempt others to speak of it, and it was he and Hamna who had the greater share
therein. Abu Bakr took an oath that he would never do any favor to Mistah at all.
Then Allah revealed the Divine Verse:--
"Let
not those among you who are good and wealthy (i.e. Abu Bakr) swear not to give
(any sort of help) to their kinsmen, and those in need, (i.e. Mistah) ...Do you
not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah if Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful." (24.22)
On
that, Abu Bakr said, "Yes, by Allah, O our Lord! We wish that You should
forgive us." So Abu Bakr again started giving to Mistah the expenditure
which he used to give him before.

a man was delivering a speech in the tribe of Kinda, he said, "Smoke will

faculties of hearing and seeing. The believers will be afflicted with something
like cold only thereof." That news scared us, so I went to (Abdullah) Ibn
Mas'ud while he was reclining (and told him the story) whereupon he became
angry, sat up and said, "He who knows a thing can say, it, but if he does
not know, he should say, 'Allah knows best,' for it is an aspect of knowledge
to say, 'I do not know,' if you do not know a certain thing. Allah said to His
prophet. 'Say (O Muhammad): No wage do I ask of you for this (Qur'an), nor I am
one of the pretenders (a person who pretends things which do not exist.)'
(38.86)
The
Qur'aish delayed in embracing Islam for a period, so the Prophet invoked evil
on them, saying, 'O Allah! Help me against them by sending seven years of
(famine) like those of Joseph.' So they were afflicted with such a severe year
of famine that they were destroyed therein and ate dead animals and bones. They
started seeing something like smoke between the sky and the earth (because of
severe hunger). Abu Sufyan then came (to the Prophet) and said, "O
Muhammad! You came to order us for to keep good relations with Kith and kin,
and your kinsmen have now perished, so please invoke Allah (to relieve them).'
Then Ibn Mas'ud recited:-- 'Then watch you for the day that the sky will bring
forth a kind of smoke plainly visible....but truly you will return! (to
disbelief) (44.10-15)
Ibn
Mas'ud added, Then the punishment was stopped, but truly, they reverted to
heathenism (their old way). So Allah (threatened them thus): 'On the day when
we shall seize you with a mighty grasp.' (44.16) And that was the day of the
Battle of Badr. Allah's saying- "Lizama" (the punishment) refers to

said, "Belief is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Apostles,
and the meeting with Him, and to believe in the Resurrection." The man
asked, "O Allah's Apostle What is Islam?" The Prophet replied,
"Islam is to worship Allah and not worship anything besides Him, to offer
prayers perfectly, to pay the (compulsory) charity i.e. Zakat and to fast the
month of Ramadan." The man again asked, "O Allah's Apostle What is
Ihsan (i.e. perfection or Benevolence)?" The Prophet said, "Ihsan is
to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not achieve this state of
devotion, then (take it for granted that) Allah sees you." The man further
asked, "O Allah's Apostle When will the Hour be established?"
The
Prophet replied, "The one who is asked about it does not know more than
the questioner does, but I will describe to you its portents. When the lady
slave gives birth to her mistress, that will be of its portents; when the
bare-footed naked people become the chiefs of the people, that will be of its
portents. The Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah.
Verily, the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (alone). He sends down the
rain, and knows that which is in the wombs." (31.34) Then the man left.

Then the stealthy listeners (devils) hear this order, and these stealthy
listeners are like this, one over the other." (Sufyan, a sub-narrator
demonstrated that by holding his hand upright and separating the fingers.) A
stealthy listener hears a word which he will convey to that which is below him
and the second will convey it to that which is below him till the last of them
will convey it to the wizard or foreteller. Sometimes a flame (fire) may strike
the devil before he can convey it, and sometimes he may convey it before the
flame (fire) strikes him, whereupon the wizard adds to that word a hundred
lies. The people will then say, 'Didn't he (i.e. magician) tell such-and-such a

"I have come to know that you have cursed such-and-such (ladies)?" He

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,

"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

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

Apostle went out along with a group of his companions towards 'Ukaz Market. At
that time something intervened between the devils and the news of the Heaven,
and flames were sent down upon them, so the devils returned. Their
fellow-devils said, "What is wrong with you? " They said,
"Something has intervened between us and the news of the Heaven, and fires
(flames) have been shot at us." Their fellow-devils said, "Nothing
has intervened between you and the news of the Heaven, but an important event
has happened. Therefore, travel all over the world, east and west, and try to
find out what has happened." And so they set out and travelled all over
the world, east and west, looking for that thing which intervened between them
and the news of the Heaven. Those of the devils who had set out towards Tihama,
went to Allah's Apostle at Nakhla (a place between Mecca and Taif) while he was
on his way to Ukaz Market. (They met him) while he was offering the Fajr prayer
with his companions. When they heard the Holy Qur'an being recited (by Allah's
Apostle), they listened to it and said (to each other). This is the thing which
has intervened between you and the news of the Heavens." Then they
returned to their people and said, "O our people! We have really heard a
wonderful recital (Qur'an). It gives guidance to the right, and we have
believed therein. We shall not join in worship, anybody with our Lord."
(See 72.1-2) Then Allah revealed to His Prophet (Surat al-Jinn):
'Say:
It has been revealed to me that a group (3 to 9) of Jinns listened (to the
Qur'an).' (72.1) The statement of the Jinns was revealed to him .

'Move

but it turned out to be true and clear as the bright daylight. Then he began to
like seclusions, so he used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he
used to worship Allah continuously for many nights before going back to his
family to take the necessary provision (of food) for the stay. He come back to
(his wife) Khadija again to take his provision (of food) likewise, till one day
he received the Guidance while he was in the cave of Hira. An Angel came to him
and asked him to read. Allah's Apostle replied, "I do not know how to
read." The Prophet added, "Then the Angel held me (forcibly) and
pressed me so hard that I felt distressed. Then he released me and again asked
me to read, and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he held me
again and pressed me for the second time till I felt distressed. He then
released me and asked me to read, but again I replied. 'I do not know how to
read.' Thereupon he held me for the third time and pressed me till I got
distressed, and then he released me and said, 'Read, in the Name of your Lord
Who has created (all that exists), has created man out of a clot, Read! And
your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen, has
taught man that which he knew not." (96.1-5).

Allah's Apostle returned with that experience; and the muscles between his neck
and shoulders were trembling till he came upon Khadija (his wife) and said,
"Cover me!" They covered him, and when the state of fear was over, he
said to Khadija, "O Khadija! What is wrong with me? I was afraid that
something bad might happen to me." Then he told her the story. Khadija
said, "Nay! But receive the good tidings! By Allah, Allah will never
disgrace you, for by Allah, you keep good relations with your Kith and kin,
speak the truth, help the poor and the destitute, entertain your guests
generously and assist those who are stricken with calamities." Khadija then
took him to Waraqa bin Naufil, the son of Khadija's paternal uncle. Waraqa had
been converted to Christianity in the Pre-lslamic Period and used to write
Arabic and write of the Gospel in Arabic as much as Allah wished him to write.
He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said (to Waraqa), "O

"O my nephew! What have you seen?" The Prophet then described
whatever he had seen. Waraqa said, "This is the same Angel (Gabriel) who
was sent to Moses. I wish I were young." He added some other statement.
Allah's Apostle asked, "Will these people drive me out?" Waraqa said,
"Yes, for nobody brought the like of what you have brought, but was
treated with hostility. If I were to remain alive till your day (when you start
preaching). then I would support you strongly." But a short while later
Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was paused (stopped) for a while so that

Apostle said, " Horses are kept for one of three purposes: A man may keep
them (for Allah's Cause) to receive a reward in the Hereafter; another may keep
them as a means of protection; and a third may keep them to be a burden for
him. As for the man for whom the horse is a source of reward, he is the one who
ties it for Allah's Cause, and he ties it with a long rope in a pasture or a
garden, then, whatever it eats or drinks in that pasture or garden will be
added to his good deeds. And if it breaks its rope and jumps over one or two
hills, then, for all its footsteps and its manure, good deeds will be written
for him. And if it passes by a river and drinks of its water though its owner
had no intention to water it from that river, even then he will have good deeds
written for him. So that horse will be (a source of) reward for such a man.
If
a man ties a horse for earning his livelihood and abstaining from asking others
for help and he does not forget Allah's right, i.e. pays its Zakat and gives it
to be used in Allah's Cause, then that horse will be a means of protection for
him. But if a man ties it out of pride and to show off and to excite others,
then that horse will be a burden (of sins) for him." Then Allah's Apostle

'Umar
used to make me sit with the elderly men who had fought in the Battle of Badr.
Some of them felt it (did not like that) and said to 'Umar "Why do you
bring in this boy to sit with us while we have sons like him?" Umar
replied, "Because of what you know of his position (i.e. his religious
knowledge.)" One day 'Umar called me and made me sit in the gathering of
those people; and I think that he called me just to show them. (my religious
knowledge). 'Umar then asked them (in my presence). "What do you say about
the interpretation of the Statement of Allah:
'When
comes Help of Allah (to you O, Muhammad against your enemies) and the conquest
(of Mecca).' (110.1) Some of them said, "We are ordered to praise Allah
and ask for His forgiveness when Allah's Help and the conquest (of Mecca) comes
to us." Some others kept quiet and did not say anything. On that, 'Umar
asked me, "Do you say the same, O Ibn 'Abbas?" I replied,
"No." He said, 'What do you say then?" I replied, "That is
the sign of the death of Allah's Apostle which Allah informed him of. Allah
said:--
'(O
Muhammad) When comes the Help of Allah (to you against your enemies) and the
conquest (of Mecca) (which is the sign of your death). You should celebrate the
praises of your Lord and ask for His Forgiveness, and He is the One Who accepts
the repentance and forgives.' (110.3) On that 'Umar said, "I do not know
anything about it other than what you have said."

The
Prophet said, "Allah said: 'The son of Adam tells a lie against Me,,
though he hasn't the right to do so. He abuses me though he hasn't the right to
do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is his saying that I will not
recreate him as I created him for the first time. In fact, the first creation
was not easier for Me than new creation. As for his abusing Me, it is his
saying that Allah has begotten children, while I am the One, the
Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need, I beget not, nor was I
begotten, and there is none like unto Me."
