Volume 5, Book 58, Number 205:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
When ‘Umar embraced Islam, all The (disbelieving) people gathered around his home and said,
“‘Umar has embraced Islam.” At that time I was still a boy and was on the roof of my house. There
came a man wearing a cloak of Dibaj (i.e. a kind of silk), and said, “Umar has embraced Islam.
Nobody can harm him for I am his protector.” I then saw the people going away from ‘Umar and
asked who the man was, and they said, “Al-‘As bin Wail.”
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 221:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle, while going out for the battle of Hunain, said, “Tomorrow Allah willing, we will
encamp at Khaif Bani Kinana where the pagans(of Quraish) took the oath of Kufr (against the
Prophet i.e. to be loyal to heathenism, by boycotting Banu Hashim, the Prophet’s folk, See Hadith No.
659 Vol. 2) .
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 206:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
I never heard ‘Umar saying about something that he thought it would be so-and-so, but he was
quite right. Once, while ‘Umar was sitting, a handsome man passed by him, ‘Umar said, “If I am not
wrong, this person is still on his religion of the pre-lslamic period of ignorance or he was their fore –
teller. Call the man to me.” When the man was called to him, he told him of his thought. The man
said, “I have never seen such a day on which a Muslim is faced with such an accusation.” ‘Umar said,
“I am determined that you should tell me the truth.” He said, “I was a foreteller in the pre-lslamic
period of ignorance.” Then ‘Umar said, “Tell me the most astonishing thing your female Jinn has told
you of.” He said, “One-day while I was in the market, she came to me scared and said, ‘Haven’t you

seen the Jinns and their despair and they were overthrown after their defeat (and prevented from
listening to the news of the heaven) so that they (stopped going to the sky and) kept following camel-
riders (i.e. ‘Arabs)?” ‘Umar said, “He is right.” and added, “One day while I was near their idols, there
came a man with a calf and slaughtered it as a sacrifice (for the idols). An (unseen) creature shouted
at him, and I have never heard harsher than his voice. He was crying, ‘O you bold evil-doer! A mat –
ter of success! An eloquent man is saying: None has the right to be worshipped except you (O Allah).’
On that the people fled, but I said, ‘I shall not go away till I know what is behind this.’ Then the cry
came again: ‘O you bold evil-doer! A matter of success! An eloquent man is saying: None has the
right to be worshipped except Allah.’ I then went away and a few days later it was said, “A prophet
has appeared.”
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 222:
Narrated Al-Abbas bin ‘Abdul Muttalib:
That he said to the Prophet “You have not been of any avail to your uncle (Abu Talib) (though) by
Allah, he used to protect you and used to become angry on your behalf.” The Prophet said, “He is in a
shallow fire, and had It not been for me, he would have been in the bottom of the (Hell) Fire.”

Narrated Qais:
I heard Said bin Zaid saying to the people, “If you but saw me and ‘Umar’s sister tied and forced by
‘Umar to leave Islam while he was not yet a Muslim. And if the mountain of Uhud could move from
its place for the evil which you people have done to Uthman, it would have the right to do that.”
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 223:
Narrated Al-Musaiyab:
When Abu Talib was in his death bed, the Prophet went to him while Abu Jahl was sitting beside
him. The Prophet said, “O my uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, an ex –
pression I will defend your case with, before Allah.” Abu Jahl and ‘Abdullah bin Umaya said, “O Abu
Talib! Will you leave the religion of ‘Abdul Muttalib?” So they kept on saying this to him so that the
last statement he said to them (before he died) was: “I am on the religion of ‘Abdul Muttalib.” Then
the Prophet said, ” I will keep on asking for Allah’s Forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do
so.” Then the following Verse was revealed:–
Volume 5 – 909 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 5 > BOOK 58: MERITS OF THE HELPERS IN MADINAH (ANSAAR)
“It is not fitting for the Prophet and the believers to ask Allah’s Forgiveness for the pagans, even if
they were their near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the
(Hell) Fire.” (9.113)
The other Verse was also revealed:– “(O Prophet!) Verily, you guide not whom you like, but Allah
guides whom He will …….” (28.56)
