Volume 5, Book 59, Number 378:
Narrated Khabbab bin Al-Art:
We migrated in the company of Allah’s Apostle, seeking Allah’s Pleasure. So our reward became
due and sure with Allah. Some of us have been dead without enjoying anything of their rewards
(here), and one of them was Mus’ab bin ‘Umar who was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud,
and did not leave anything except a Namira (i.e. a sheet in which he was shrouded). If we covered
his head with it, his feet became naked, and if we covered his feet with it, his head became naked. So
the Prophet said to us, “Cover his head with it and put some Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass) over his feet
or throw Idhkhir over his feet.” But some amongst us have got the fruits of their labor ripened, and
they are collecting them.
Narrated Anas: His uncle (Anas bin An-Nadr) was absent from the battle of Badr and he said, “I
was absent from the first battle of the Prophet (i.e. Badr battle), and if Allah should let me participate
in (a battle) with the Prophet, Allah will see how strongly I will fight.” So he encountered the day of
Uhud battle. The Muslims fled and he said, “O Allah ! I appeal to You to excuse me for what these
people (i.e. the Muslims) have done, and I am clear from what the pagans have done.” Then he went
forward with his sword and met Sad bin Mu’adh (fleeing), and asked him, “Where are you going, O
Sad? I detect a smell of Paradise before Uhud.” Then he proceeded on and was martyred. No-body
was able to recognize him till his sister recognized him by a mole on his body or by the tips of his
fingers. He had over 80 wounds caused by stabbing, striking or shooting with arrows.
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 379:
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
When we wrote the Holy Quran, I missed one of the Verses of Surat-al-Ahzab which I used to
hear Allah’s Apostle reciting. Then we searched for it and found it with Khuzaima bin Thabit Al-An –
sari. The Verse was:–
‘Among the Believers are men Who have been true to Their Covenant with Allah, Of them, some
have fulfilled Their obligations to Allah (i.e. they have been Killed in Allah’s Cause), And some of
them are (still) waiting” (33.23) So we wrote this in its place in the Quran.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 5 > BOOK 59: MILITARY EXPEDITIONS LED BY THE PROPHET (PBUH) (AL-MAGHAAZI)
When the Prophet set out for (the battle of) Uhud, some of those who had gone out with him, re –
turned. The companions of the Prophet were divided into two groups. One group said, “We will fight
them (i.e. the enemy),” and the other group said, “We will not fight them.” So there came the Divine
Revelation:– ‘(O Muslims!) Then what is the matter within you that you are divided. Into two parties
about the hypocrites? Allah has cast them back (to disbelief) Because of what they have earned.’
(4.88) On that, the Prophet said, “That is Taiba (i.e. the city of Medina) which clears one from one’s
sins as the fire expels the impurities of silver.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 365:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
Allah’s Apostle had the date-palm trees of Bani Al-Nadir burnt and cut down at a place called Al-
Buwaira. Allah then revealed: “What you cut down of the date-palm trees (of the enemy) Or you left
them standing on their stems. It was by Allah’s Permission.” (59.5)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 381:
Narrated Jabir:
This Verse: “When two of your parties almost Decided to fall away…” was revealed in our connec –
tion, i.e. Bani Salama and Bani Haritha and I would not have liked that, if it was not revealed, for Al –
lah said:– But Allah was their Protector…..(3.122)
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 366:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
The Prophet burnt the date-palm trees of Bani An-Nadir. Hassan bin Thabit said the following po –
etic Verses about this event:– “the terrible burning of Al-Buwaira Has been received indifferently By
the nobles of Bani Luai (The masters and nobles of Quraish).” Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith (i.e. the
Prophet’s cousin who was still a disbeliever then) replied to Hassan, saying in poetic verses:– “May
Allah bless that burning And set all its (i.e. Medina’s) Parts on burning fire. You will see who is far
from it (i.e. Al-Buwaira) And which of our lands will be Harmed by it (i.e. the burning of Al-
Buwaira).”

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 382:
Narrated Jabir:
“Allah’s Apostle said to me, “Have you got married O Jabir?” I replied, “Yes.” He asked “What, a vir –
gin or a matron?” I replied, “Not a virgin but a matron.” He said, “Why did you not marry a young girl
who would have fondled with you?” I replied, “O Allah’s Apostle! My father was martyred on the day
of Uhud and left nine (orphan) daughters who are my nine sisters; so I disliked to have another
young girl of their age, but (I sought) an (elderly) woman who could comb their hair and look after
them.” The Prophet said, “You have done the right thing.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 351:
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
That ‘Amr bin Auf, who was an ally of Bani ‘Amir bin Luai and one of those who fought at Badr in
the company of the Prophet , said, “Allah’s Apostle sent Abu ‘Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah to Bahrain to bring
the Jizya taxation from its people, for Allah’s Apostle had made a peace treaty with the people of
Bahrain and appointed Al-‘Ala’ bin Al-Hadrami as their ruler. So, Abu ‘Ubaida arrived with the
money from Bahrain. When the Ansar heard of the arrival of Abu ‘Ubaida (on the next day) they
offered the morning prayer with the Prophet and when the morning prayer had finished, they
presented themselves before him. On seeing the Ansar, Allah’s Apostle smiled and said, “I think you
have heard that Abu ‘Ubaida has brought something?” They replied, “Indeed, it is so, O Allah’s
Apostle!” He said, “Be happy, and hope for what will please you. By Allah, I am not afraid that you
will be poor, but I fear that worldly wealth will be bestowed upon you as it was bestowed upon those
who lived before you. So you will compete amongst yourselves for it, as they competed for it and it
will destroy you as it did them.”
