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.’

When Khaibar was conquered, a roasted poisoned sheep was presented to the Prophets as a gift
(by the Jews). The Prophet ordered, “Let all the Jews who have been here, be assembled before me.”
The Jews were collected and the Prophet said (to them), “I am going to ask you a question. Will you
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.”
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 395:
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).”

Narrated Um Hani:
the daughter of Abu Talib: I went to Allah’s Apostle on the day of the conquest of Mecca and found
him taking a bath, and his daughter Fatima was screening him. I greeted him and he asked, “Who is
that?” I said, “I, Um Hani bint Abi Talib.” He said, “Welcome, O Um Hani.” When he had finished his
bath, he stood up and offered eight Rakat while dressed in one garment. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! My
brother ‘Ali has declared that he will kill a man to whom I have granted asylum. The man is so and-
so bin Hubaira.” Allah’s Apostle said, “O Um Hani! We will grant asylum to the one whom you have
granted asylum.” (Um Hani said, “That (visit) took place in the Duha (i.e. forenoon)).

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.)
