(wherein) the Prophet said, “Medina is a sanctuary from (the mountain of) Air to so and-so, there –
fore, whoever innovates (in it) an heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter 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 the asylum granted by any Muslim Is to be secured by all the
Muslims even if it is granted by one of the lowest social status among them. And whoever betrays a
Muslim in this respect will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compuls –
ory and optional good deeds of worship will not be accepted. And any freed slave will take as mas –
ters (befriends) people other than his own real masters who freed him without taking the permission
of the latter, will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compulsory and op –
tional good deeds of worship will not be accepted.”
Narrated Said: Abu Huraira once said (to the people), “What will your state be when you can get
no Dinar or Dirhan (i.e. taxes from the Dhimmis)?” on that someone asked him, “What makes you
know that this state will take place, O Abu- Hu raira?” He said, “By Him in Whose Hands Abu
Huraira’s life is, I know it through the statement of the true and truly inspired one (i.e. the Prophet).”
The people asked, “What does the Statement say?” He replied, “Allah and His Apostle’s asylum granted
to Dhimmis, i.e. non-Muslims living in a Muslim territory) will be outraged, and so Allah will make
the hearts of these Dhimmis so daring that they will refuse to pay the Jizya they will be supposed to
pay.”

Once the Prophet called the Ansar in order to grant them part of the land of Bahrain. On that they
said, “No! By Allah, we will not accept it unless you grant a similar thing to our Quarries brothers as

said, “After me you will see others given preference over you in this respect (in which case) you
should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Al-Kauthar).”

Allah’s Apostle once said to me, “If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and
this much.” When Allah’s Apostle had died, the revenue of Bahrain came, and Abu Bakr announced, ”
Let whoever was promised something by Allah’s Apostle come to me.” So, I went to Abu Bakr and
said, “Allah’s Apostle said to me, ‘If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and this.
much.” On that Abu Bakr said to me, “Scoop (money) with both your hands.” I scooped money with
both my hands and Abu Bakr asked me to count it. I counted it and it was five-hundred (gold pieces).
The total amount he gave me was one thousand and five hundred (gold pieces.)
Narrated Anas: Money from Bahrain was brought to the Prophet . He said, “Spread it in the
Mosque.” It was the biggest amount that had ever been brought to Allah’s Apostle . In the meantime
Al-‘Abbas came to him and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Give me, for I gave the ransom of myself and
Aqil.” The Prophet said (to him), “Take.” He scooped money with both hands and poured it in his gar –
ment and tried to lift it, but he could not and appealed to the Prophet, “Will you order someone to
help me in lifting it?” The Prophet said, “No.” Then Al-‘Abbas said, “Then will you yourself help me
carry it?” The Prophet said, “No.” Then Al ‘Abbas threw away some of the money, but even then he
was not able to lift it, and so he gain requested the Prophet “Will you order someone to help me carry
it?” The Prophet said, “No.” Then Al-‘Abbas said, “Then will you yourself yelp me carry it?” The Proph –
et said, ‘No.” So, Al-‘Abbas threw away some more money and lifted it on his shoulder and went
away. The Prophet kept on looking at him with astonishment at his greediness till he went out of our
sight. Allah’s Apostle did not get up from there till not a single Dirham remained from that money.

till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, “If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should
know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if
anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that
the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle.”

that he heard Ibn ‘Abbas saying, “Thursday! And you know not what Thursday is? After that Ibn
‘Abbas wept till the stones on the ground were soaked with his tears. On that I asked Ibn ‘Abbas,
“What is (about) Thursday?” He said, “When the condition (i.e. health) of Allah’s Apostle deteriorated,
he said, ‘Bring me a bone of scapula, so that I may write something for you after which you will nev –
er go astray.’The people differed in their opinions although it was improper to differ in front of a
prophet, They said, ‘What is wrong with him? Do you think he is delirious? Ask him (to understand).
The Prophet replied, ‘Leave me as I am in a better state than what you are asking me to do.’ Then the
Prophet ordered them to do three things saying, ‘Turn out all the pagans from the Arabian Peninsula,
show respect to all foreign delegates by giving them gifts as I used to do.’ ” The sub-narrator added,
“The third order was something beneficial which either Ibn ‘Abbas did not mention or he mentioned
but I forgot.’

tell the truth?” They said, “Yes.’ The Prophet asked, “Who is your father?” They replied, “So-and-so.”
He said, “You have told a ie; your father is so-and-so.” They said, “You are right.” He siad, “Will you
now tell me the truth, if I ask you about something?” They replied, “Yes, O AbuAl-Qasim; and if we
should tell a lie, you can realize our lie as you have done regarding our father.” On that he asked,
“Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?” They said, “We shall remain in the (Hell) Fire for a short peri –
od, and after that you will replace us.” The Prophet said, “You may be cursed and humiliated in it! By
Allah, we shall never replace you in it.” Then he asked, “Will you now tell me the truth if I ask you a
question?” They said, “Yes, O Ab Li-AI-Qasim.” He asked, “Have you poisoned this sheep?” They said,
“Yes.” He asked, “What made you do so?” They said, “We wanted to know if you were a liar in which
case we would get rid of you, and if you are a prophet then the poison would not harm you.”

Narrated ‘Asim:
I asked Anas about the Qunut (i.e. invocation in the prayer). Anas said, “It should be recited before
bowing.” I said, “So-and-so claims that you say that it should be recited after bowing.” He replied, “He
is mistaken.” Then Anas narrated to us that the Prophet invoked evil on the tribe of Bani-Sulaim for
one month after bowing. ‘ Anas Further said, “The Prophet had sent 40 or 70 Qaris (i.e. men well
versed in the knowledge of the Qur’an) to some pagans, but the latter struggled with them and mar –
tyred them, although there was a peace pact between them and the Prophet I had never seen the
Prophet so sorry and worried about anybody as he was about them (i.e. the Qaris).”
