Volume 4, Book 52, Number 290:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
(Later on) Allah’s Apostle (once again) went along with Ubai bin Ka’b to the garden of date-palms
where Ibn Saiyad was staying. When the Prophet entered the garden, he started hiding himself be –
hind the trunks of the date-palms as he wanted to hear something from the Ibn Saiyad before the
latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was lying in his bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his
murmurs were heard. Ibn Saiyad’s mother saw the Prophet while he was hiding himself behind the
trunks of the date-palms. She addressed Ibn Saiyad, “O Saf!” (And this was his name). Ibn Saiyad got
up. The Prophet said, “Had this woman let him to himself, he would have revealed the reality of his
case.” Then the Prophet got up amongst the people, glorifying Allah as He deserves, he mentioned
Ad-Dajjal, saying, “I warn you about him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) and there is no prophet who did not warn
his nation about him, and Noah warned his nation about him, but I tell you a statement which no
prophet informed his nation of. You should understand that he is a one-eyed man and Allah is not
one-eyed.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 291:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
I asked the Prophet during his Hajj, “O Allah’s Apostle! Where will you stay tomorrow?” He said,
“Has Aqil left for us any house?” He then added, “Tomorrow we will stay at Khaif Bani Kinana, i.e. Al-
Muhassab, where (the Pagans of) Quraish took an oath of Kufr (i.e. to be loyal to heathenism) in that
Bani Kinana got allied with Quraish against Bani Hashim on the terms that they would not deal with
the members of the is tribe or give them shelter.” (Az-Zuhri said, “Khaif means valley.”) (See Hadith
No. 659, Vol. 2)
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 292:
Narrated Aslam:
Umar bin Al-Khattab appointed a freed slave of his, called Hunai, manager of the Hima (i.e. a pas –
ture devoted for grazing the animals of the Zakat or other specified animals). He said to him, “O
Hunai! Don’t oppress the Muslims and ward off their curse (invocations against you) for the invoca –
tion of the oppressed is responded to (by Allah); and allow the shepherd having a few camels and
those having a few sheep (to graze their animals), and take care not to allow the livestock of ‘Abdur-
Rahman bin ‘Auf and the livestock of (‘Uthman) bin ‘Affan, for if their livestock should perish, then
they have their farms and gardens, while those who own a few camels and those who own a few
sheep, if their livestock should perish, would bring their dependents to me and appeal for help say –
ing, ‘O chief of the believers! O chief of the believers!’ Would I then neglect them? (No, of course).
So, I find it easier to let them have water and grass rather than to give them gold and silver (from the

Muslims’ treasury). By Allah, these people think that I have been unjust to them. This is their land,
and during the pre-lslamic period, they fought for it and they embraced Islam (willingly) while it
was in their possession. By Him in Whose Hand my life is! Were it not for the animals (in my cus –
tody) which I give to be ridden for striving in Allah’s Cause, I would not have turned even a span of
their land into a Hima.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 293:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet said (to us), ” List the names of those people who have announced that they are
Muslims.” So, we listed one thousand and five hundred men. Then we wondered, “Should we be
afraid (of infidels) although we are one thousand and five hundred in number?” No doubt, we wit –
nessed ourselves being afflicted with such bad trials that one would have to offer the prayer alone in
fear.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 294:
Narrated Al-Amash:
“We (listed the Muslims and) found them five hundred.” And Abu Muawiya said, “Between six-
hundred to seven-hundred.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 295:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
A man came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have enlisted in the army for such-and-
such Ghazwa, and my wife is leaving for Hajj.” Allah’s Apostle said, “Go back and perform Hajj with
your wife.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 296:
Narrated Az-Zuhri:
as follows in Hadith 297.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 297:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
We were in the company of Allah’s Apostle in a Ghazwa, and he remarked about a man who
claimed to be a Muslim, saying, “This (man) is from the people of the (Hell) Fire.” When the battle
started, the man fought violently till he got wounded. Somebody said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The man

whom you described as being from the people of the (Hell) Fire fought violently today and died.” The
Prophet said, “He will go to the (Hell) Fire.” Some people were on the point of doubting (the truth of
what the Prophet had said) while they were in this state, suddenly someone said that he was still
alive but severely wounded. When night fell, he lost patience and committed suicide. The Prophet
was informed of that, and he said, “Allah is Greater! I testify that I am Allah’s Slave and His Apostle.”
Then he ordered Bilal to announce amongst the people: ‘None will enter Paradise but a Muslim, and
Allah may support this religion (i.e. Islam) even with a disobedient man.’
