That his father said, “The sword of Az-Zubair was decorated with silver.” Hisham added, “The
sword of ‘Urwa was (also) decorated with silver. “
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 313:
Narrated ‘Urwa:
On the day of (the battle) of Al-Yarmuk, the companions of Allah’s Apostle said to Az-Zubair,
“Will you attack the enemy so that we shall attack them with you?” Az-Zubair replied, “If I attack
them, you people would not support me.” They said, “No, we will support you.” So Az-Zubair attacked
them (i.e. Byzantine) and pierced through their lines, and went beyond them and none of his com –
panions was with him. Then he returned and the enemy got hold of the bridle of his (horse) and
struck him two blows (with the sword) on his shoulder. Between these two wounds there was a scar
caused by a blow, he had received on the day of Badr (battle). When I was a child I used to play with
those scars by putting my fingers in them. On that day (my brother) “Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was
also with him and he was ten years old. Az-Zubair had carried him on a horse and let him to the
care of some men.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 314:
Narrated Abu Talha:
On the day of Badr, the Prophet ordered that the corpses of twenty four leaders of Quraish should
be thrown into one of the dirty dry wells of Badr. (It was a habit of the Prophet that whenever he
conquered some people, he used to stay at the battle-field for three nights. So, on the third day of the
battle of Badr, he ordered that his she-camel be saddled, then he set out, and his companions fol –
lowed him saying among themselves.” “Definitely he (i.e. the Prophet) is proceeding for some great
purpose.” When he halted at the edge of the well, he addressed the corpses of the Quraish infidels by
their names and their fathers’ names, “O so-and-so, son of so-and-so and O so-and-so, son of so-
and-so! Would it have pleased you if you had obeyed Allah and His Apostle? We have found true
what our Lord promised us. Have you too found true what your Lord promised you? “‘Umar said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! You are speaking to bodies that have no souls!” Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in
Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, you do not hear, what I say better than they do.” (Qatada said,
“Allah brought them to life (again) to let them hear him, to reprimand them and slight them and take
revenge over them and caused them to feel remorseful and regretful.”)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 315:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
regarding the Statement of Allah:–“Those who have changed Allah’s Blessings for disbelief…”
(14.28) The people meant here by Allah, are the infidels of Quraish. (‘Amr, a sub-narrator said,

“Those are (the infidels of) Quraish and Muhammad is Allah’s Blessing. Regarding Allah’s
Statement:”..and have led their people Into the house of destruction? (14.29) Ibn ‘Abbas said, “It
means the Fire they will suffer from (after their death) on the day of Badr.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 316:
Narrated Hisham’s father:
It was mentioned before ‘Aisha that Ibn ‘Umar attributed the following statement to the Prophet
“The dead person is punished in the grave because of the crying and lamentation Of his family.” On
that, ‘Aisha said, “But Allah’s Apostle said, ‘The dead person is punished for his crimes and sins while
his family cry over him then.” She added, “And this is similar to the statement of Allah’s Apostle when
he stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of the pagans killed at Badr, ‘They
hear what I say.’ She added, “But he said now they know very well what I used to tell them was the
truth.” ‘Aisha then recited: ‘You cannot make the dead hear.’ (30.52) and ‘You cannot make those
who are in their Graves, hear you.’ (35.22) that is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 317:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
The Prophet stood at the well of Badr (which contained the corpses of the pagans) and said, “Have
you found true what your lord promised you?” Then he further said, “They now hear what I say.”
This was mentioned before ‘Aisha and she said, “But the Prophet said, ‘Now they know very well that
what I used to tell them was the truth.’ Then she recited (the Holy Verse):– “You cannot make the
dead hear… …till the end of Verse).” (30.52)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 318:
Narrated Anas:
Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother
came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in
Paradise, I shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not so, then you shall see
what I do?” He said, “May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al-
Firdaus.”

Narrated ‘Ali:

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 5 > BOOK 59: MILITARY EXPEDITIONS LED BY THE PROPHET (PBUH) (AL-MAGHAAZI)
Allah’s Apostle sent me, Abu Marthad and Az-Zubair, and all of us were riding horses, and said,
“Go till you reach Raudat-Khakh where there is a pagan woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi
Balta’ a to the pagans of Mecca.” So we found her riding her camel at the place which Allah’s Apostle
had mentioned. We said (to her),”(Give us) the letter.” She said, “I have no letter.” Then we made her
camel kneel down and we searched her, but we found no letter. Then we said, “Allah’s Apostle had
not told us a lie, certainly. Take out the letter, otherwise we will strip you naked.” When she saw that
we were determined, she put her hand below her waist belt, for she had tied her cloak round her
waist, and she took out the letter, and we brought her to Allah’s Apostle Then ‘Umar said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! (This Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers! Let me cut off his neck!” The
Prophet asked Hatib, “What made you do this?” Hatib said, “By Allah, I did not intend to give up my
belief in Allah and His Apostle but I wanted to have some influence among the (Mecca) people so
that through it, Allah might protect my family and property. There is none of your companions but
has some of his relatives there through whom Allah protects his family and property.” The Prophet
said, “He has spoken the truth; do no say to him but good.” ‘Umar said, “He as betrayed Allah, His
Apostle and the faithful believers. Let me cut off his neck!” The Prophet said, “Is he not one of the
Badr warriors? May be Allah looked at the Badr warriors and said, ‘Do whatever you like, as I have
granted Paradise to you, or said, ‘I have forgiven you.”‘ On this, tears came out of Umar’s eyes, and he
said, “Allah and His Apostle know better.”
