Volume 4, Book 53, Number 397:
Narrated Ibrahim At-Tamimi’s father:
‘Ali delivered a sermon saying, “We have no book to read except the Book of Allah and what is
written in this paper which contains verdicts regarding (retaliation for) wounds, the ages of the
camels (given as Zakat or as blood money) and the fact that Medina is a sanctuary in between Air
mountain to so-and-so (mountain). So, whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin or gives
shelter in it, to such an innovator will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and
none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted. And whoever (freed
slave) takes as his master (i.e. befriends) other than his real masters will incur the same (Curse). And
the asylum granted by any Muslim is to be secured by all the other Muslims, and whoever betrays a
Muslim in this respect will incur the same (Curse).”
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 398:
Narrated Sahl bin Abi Hathma:
‘Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisa bin Mas’ud bin Zaid set out to Khaibar, the inhabitants of which
had a peace treaty with the Muslims at that time. They parted and later on Muhaiyisa came upon
‘Abdullah bin Sah! and found him murdered agitating in his blood. He buried him and returned to
Medina. ‘Abdur Rahman bin Sahl, Muhaiyisa and Huwaiuisa, the sons of Mas’ud came to the Prophet
and ‘Abdur Rahman intended to talk, but the Prophet said (to him), “Let the eldest of you speak.” as
‘Abdur-Rahman was the youngest:. ‘Abdur-Rahman kept silent and the other two spoke. The Prophet
said, “If you swear as to who has committed the murder, you will have the right to take your right
from the murderer.” They said, “How should we swear if we did not witness the murder or see the
murderer?” The Prophet said, “Then the Jews can clear themselves from the charge by taking Alaska
(an oath taken by men that it was not they who committed the murder).” The!y said, “How should we
believe in the oaths of infidels?” So, the Prophet himself paid the blood money (of ‘Abdullah). (See
Hadith No. 36 Vol. 9.)

Narrated ‘Amr bin ‘Auf Al-Ansari:
(who was an ally of Bam ‘Amr bin Lu’ai and one of those who had taken part in (the Ghazwa of)
Badr): Allah’s Apostle sent Abu ‘Ubaida bin Al-Jarreh to Bahrain to collect the Jizya. Allah’s Apostle
had established peace with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al-‘Ala’ bin Al-Hadrami as their
governor. When Abu ‘Ubaida came from Bahrain with the money, the Ansar heard of Abu ‘Ubaida’s
arrival which coincided with the time of the morning prayer with the Prophet. When Allah’s Apostle
led them in the morning prayer and finished, the Ansar approached him, and he looked at them and
smiled on seeing them and said, “I feel that you have heard that Abu. ‘Ubaida has brought some –
thing?” They said, “Yes, O Allah’s Apostle’ He said, “Rejoice and hope for what will please you! By Al –
lah, I am not afraid of your poverty but I am afraid that you will lead a life of luxury as past nations
did, whereupon you will compete with each other for it, as they competed for it, and it will destroy
you as it destroyed them.”

Narrated Auf bin Mali:
I went to the Prophet during the Ghazwa of Tabuk while he was sitting in a leather tent. He said,
“Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour: my death, the conquest of Jerusalem, a
plague that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep, the in –
crease of wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satis –
fied; then an affliction which no Arab house will escape, and then a truce between you and Bani Al-
Asfar (i.e. the Byzantines) who will betray you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag
will be twelve thousand soldiers.
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 386:
Narrated Jubair bin Haiya:
‘Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-Hurmuzan embraced
Islam, ‘Umar said to him. “I would like to consult you regarding these countries which I intend to in –
vade.” Al-Hurmuzan said, “Yes, the example of these countries and their inhabitants who are the en –
emies. of the Muslims, is like a bird with a head, two wings and two legs; If one of its wings got
broken, it would get up over its two legs, with one wing and the head; and if the other wing got
broken, it would get up with two legs and a head, but if its head got destroyed, then the two legs, two
wings and the head would become useless. The head stands for Khosrau, and one wing stands for
Caesar and the other wing stands for Faris. So, order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau.” So, ‘Umar
sent us (to Khosrau) appointing An-Numan bin Muqrin as our commander. When we reached the
land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an in –
terpreter got up saying, “Let one of you talk to me!” Al-Mughira replied, “Ask whatever you wish.”
The other asked, “Who are you?” Al-Mughira replied, “We are some people from the Arabs; we led a
hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to suck the hides and the date stones from hunger; we used
to wear clothes made up of fur of camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones. While

we were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths, Elevated is His Remembrance and
Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from among ourselves a Prophet whose father and mother are
known to us. Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship
Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:– “Who –
ever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has
never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master.” (Al-Mughira, then
blamed An-Numan for delaying the attack and) An-Nu’ man said to Al-Mughira, “If you had parti –
cipated in a similar battle, in the company of Allah’s Apostle he would not have blamed you for wait –
ing, nor would he have disgraced you. But I accompanied Allah’s Apostle in many battles and it was
his custom that if he did not fight early by daytime, he would wait till the wind had started blowing
and the time for the prayer was due (i.e. after midday).”
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 402:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Abu Bakr, on the day of Nahr (i.e. slaughtering of animals for sacrifice), sent me in the company of
others to make this announcement: “After this year, no pagan will be allowed to perform the Hajj,
and none will be allowed to perform the Tawaf of the Ka’ba undressed.” And the day of Al-Hajj-ul-
Akbar is the day of Nahr, and it called Al-Akbar because the people call the ‘Umra Al-Hajj-ul-
Asghar (i.e. the minor Hajj). Abu Bakr threw back the pagans’ covenant that year, and therefore, no
pagan performed the Hajj in the year of Hajj-ul-Wada’ of the Prophets.
