Volume 4, Book 52, Number 319:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
That he and Abu Talha came in the company of the Prophet and Safiya was accompanying the
Prophet, who let her ride behind him on his she-camel. During the journey, the she-camel slipped
and both the Prophet and (his) wife fell down. Abu Talha (the sub-narrator thinks that Anas said that
Abu Talha jumped from his camel quickly) said, “O Allah’s Apostle! May Allah sacrifice me for your
sake! Did you get hurt?” The Prophet replied,”No, but take care of the lady.” Abu Talha covered his
face with his garment and proceeded towards her and covered her with his garment, and she got up.
He then set right the condition of their she-camel and both of them (i.e. the Prophet and his wife)
rode and proceeded till they approached Medina. The Prophet said, “We are returning with repent –
ance and worshipping and praising our Lord.” The Prophet kept on saying this statement till he
entered Medina.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 288:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
Ibn ‘Abbas said, “Thursday! What (great thing) took place on Thursday!” Then he started weeping
till his tears wetted the gravels of the ground . Then he said, “On Thursday the illness of Allah’s
Apostle was aggravated and he said, “Fetch me writing materials so that I may have something writ –
ten to you after which you will never go astray.” The people (present there) differed in this matter

and people should not differ before a prophet. They said, “Allah’s Apostle is seriously sick.’ The
Prophet said, “Let me alone, as the state in which I am now, is better than what you are calling me
for.” The Prophet on his death-bed, gave three orders saying, “Expel the pagans from the Arabian
Peninsula, respect and give gifts to the foreign delegates as you have seen me dealing with them.” I
forgot the third (order)” (Ya’qub bin Muhammad said, “I asked Al-Mughira bin ‘Abdur-Rahman
about the Arabian Peninsula and he said, ‘It comprises Mecca, Medina, Al-Yama-ma and Yemen.”
Ya’qub added, “And Al-Arj, the beginning of Tihama.”)
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 304:
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We have slaughtered a young sheep of ours and have ground one Sa of
barley. So, I invite you along with some persons.” So, the Prophet said in a loud voice, “O the people of
the Trench! Jabir had prepared “Sur” so come along.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 289:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
‘Umar saw a silken cloak being sold in the market and he brought it to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! Buy this cloak and adorn yourself with it on the ‘Id festivals and on meeting the del –
egations.” Allah’s Apostle replied, “This is the dress for the one who will have no share in the Here –
after (or, this is worn by one who will have no share in the Hereafter).” After sometime had passed,
Allah’s Apostle sent a silken cloak to ‘Umar. ‘Umar took it and brought it to Allah’s Apostle and said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! You have said that this is the dress of that who will have no share in the Hereafter
(or, this is worn by one who will have no share in the Hereafter), yet you have sent me this!” The
Prophet said,” I have sent it) so that you may sell it or fulfill with it some of your needs.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 290d:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Umar and a group of the companions of the Prophet set out with the Prophet to Ibn Saiyad. He
found him playing with some boys near the hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn Saiyad at that time was
nearing his puberty. He did not notice (the Prophet’s presence) till the Prophet stroked him on the
back with his hand and said, “Ibn Saiyad! Do you testify that I am Allah’s Apostle?” Ibn Saiyad looked
at him and said, “I testify that you are the Apostle of the illiterates.”
Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet. “Do you testify that I am the apostle of Allah?” The Prophet said
to him, “I believe in Allah and His Apostles.” Then the Prophet said (to Ibn Saiyad). “What do you see?”
Ibn Saiyad replied, “True people and false ones visit me.” The Prophet said, “Your mind is confused as
to this matter.” The Prophet added, ” I have kept something (in my mind) for you.” Ibn Saiyad said, “It
is Ad-Dukh.” The Prophet said (to him), “Shame be on you! You cannot cross your limits.” On that
‘Umar said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off.” The Prophet said, “If he should be him
(i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot overpower him, and should he not be him, then you are not going to
benefit by murdering him.”

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.
