Narrated Aisha:
The wife of the Prophet : We set out with Allah’s Apostle on one of his journeys, and when we
were at Baida’ or at Dhat-al-Jaish, a necklace of mine was broken (and lost). Allah’s Apostle stayed
there to look for it, and so did the people along with him. Neither were they at a place of water, nor
did they have any water with them. So the people went to Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and said, “Don’t you
see what ‘Aisha has done? She has made Allah’s Apostle and the people, stay where there is no water
and they have no water with them.” Abu Bakr came while Allah’s Apostle was sleeping with his head
on my thigh. He said (to me), “You have detained Allah’s Apostle and the people where there is no
water, and they have no water with them.” So he admonished me and said what Allah wished him to
say, and he hit me on my flanks with his hand. Nothing prevented me from moving (because of pain!
but the position of Allah’s Apostle on my thigh. So Allah’s Apostle got up when dawn broke and there
was no water, so Allah revealed the Verse of Tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair said, “It is not the first
blessing of yours, O the family of Abu Bakr.” Then we made the camel on which I was riding, got up,
and found the necklace under it.

A necklace of mine was lost at Al-Baida’ and we were on our way to Medina. The Prophet made
his camel kneel down and dismounted and laid his head on my lap and slept. Abu Bakr came to me
and hit me violently on the chest and said, “You have detained the people because of a necklace.” I
kept as motionless as a dead person because of the position of Allah’s Apostle ; (on my lap) although
Abu Bakr had hurt me (with the slap). Then the Prophet woke up and it was the time for the morn –
ing (prayer). Water was sought, but in vain; so the following Verse was revealed:–
“O you who believe! When you intend to offer prayer..” (5.6) Usaid bin Hudair said, “Allah has
blessed the people for your sake, O the family of Abu Bakr. You are but a blessing for them.”

Narrated Abdullah (bin Masud):
On the day of Badr, Al-Miqdad said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We do not say to you as the children of Is –
rael said to Moses, ‘Go you and your Lord and fight you two; we are sitting here, (5.24) but (we say).
“Proceed, and we are with you.” That seemed to delight Allah’s Apostle greatly.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 134:
Narrated Abu Qilaba:
That he was sitting behind Umar bin Abdul Aziz and the people mentioned and mentioned (about
At-Qasama) and they said (various things), and said that the Caliphs had permitted it. ‘Umar bin ‘Ab –
dul ‘Aziz turned towards Abu Qilaba who was behind him and said. “What do you say, O ‘Abdullah
bin Zaid?” or said, “What do you say, O Abu Qilaba?” Abu Qilaba said, “I do not know that killing a
person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person committing illegal sexual inter –
course, one who has murdered somebody unlawfully, or one who wages war against Allah and His
Apostle.” ‘Anbasa said, “Anas narrated to us such-and-such.” Abu Qilaba said, “Anas narrated to me in
this concern, saying, some people came to the Prophet and they spoke to him saying, ‘The climate of
this land does not suit us.’ The Prophet said, ‘These are camels belonging to us, and they are to be
taken out to the pasture. So take them out and drink of their milk and urine.’ So they took them and
set out and drank of their urine and milk, and having recovered, they attacked the shepherd, killed
him and drove away the camels.’ Why should there be any delay in punishing them as they
murdered (a person) and waged war against Allah and His Apostle and frightened Allah’s Apostle ?”
Anbasa said, “I testify the uniqueness of Allah!” Abu Qilaba said, “Do you suspect me?” ‘Anbasa said,
“No, Anas narrated that (Hadith) to us.” Then ‘Anbasa added, “O the people of such-and-such (coun –
try), you will remain in good state as long as Allah keeps this (man) and the like of this (man)
amongst you.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 135:
Narrated Anas (bin Malik):
Ar-Rubai (the paternal aunt of Anas bin Malik) broke the incisor tooth of young Ansari girl. Her
family demanded the Qisas and they came to the Prophet who passed the judgment of Qisas. Anas
bin An-Nadr (the paternal uncle of Anas bin Malik) said, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Allah, her tooth will
not be broken.” The Prophet said, “O Anas! (The law prescribed in) Allah’s Book is Qisas.” But the
people (i.e. the relatives of the girl) gave up their claim and accepted a compensation. On that Allah’s
Apostle said, “Some of Allah’s worshippers are such that if they take an oath, Allah will fulfill it for
them.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 104:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
Regarding the Verse: “To everyone, We have appointed heirs.” (4.33) ‘Mawali’ means heirs. And re –
garding:– “And those to whom your right hands have pledged.”
When the Emigrants came to Medina, an Emigrant used to be the heir of an Ansari with the exclu –
sion of the latter’s relatives, and that was because of the bond of brotherhood which the Prophet had
established between them (i.e. the Emigrants and the Ansar). So when the Verses:– “To everyone We
have appointed heirs.” was revealed, (the inheritance through bond of brotherhood) was cancelled.
Ibn Abbas then said: “And those to whom your right hands have pledged.” is concerned with the cov –
enant of helping and advising each other. So allies are no longer to be the heir of each other, but they
can bequeath each other some of their property by means of a will.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 120:
Narrated Muhammad bin Abdur-Rahman Abu Al-Aswad:
The people of Medina were forced to prepare an army (to fight against the people of Sham during
the caliphate of ‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair at Mecca), and I was enlisted in it; Then I met ‘Ikrima, the
freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbas, and informed him (about it), and he forbade me strongly to do so (i.e. to en –
list in that army), and then said, “Ibn ‘Abbas informed me that some Muslim people were with the
pagans, increasing the number of the pagans against Allah’s Apostle. An arrow used to be shot which
would hit one of them (the Muslims in the company of the pagans) and kill him, or he would be
struck and killed (with a sword).” Then Allah revealed:–
“Verily! as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (by stay –
ing among the disbelievers)” (4.97) Abu Aswad added, “Except the weak ones among men, women,…”
(4.98)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 105:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
During the lifetime of the Prophet some people said, : O Allah’s Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on
the Day of Resurrection?” The Prophet said, “Yes; do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at mid –
day when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?” They replied, “No.” He said, “Do you have any
difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?”
They replied, “No.” The Prophet said, “(Similarly) you will have no difficulty in seeing Allah on the
Day of Resurrection as you have no difficulty in seeing either of them. On the Day of Resurrection, a
call-maker will announce, “Let every nation follow that which they used to worship.” Then none of
those who used to worship anything other than Allah like idols and other deities but will fall in Hell
(Fire), till there will remain none but those who used to worship Allah, both those who were obedient
(i.e. good) and those who were disobedient (i.e. bad) and the remaining party of the people of the
Scripture. Then the Jews will be called upon and it will be said to them, ‘Who do you use to worship?’
They will say, ‘We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.’ It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for
Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son. What do you want now?’ They will say, ‘O our Lord!
We are thirsty, so give us something to drink.’ They will be directed and addressed thus, ‘Will you
drink,’ whereupon they will be gathered unto Hell (Fire) which will look like a mirage whose differ –
ent sides will be destroying each other. Then they will fall into the Fire. Afterwards the Christians
will be called upon and it will be said to them, ‘Who do you use to worship?’ They will say, ‘We used
to worship Jesus, the son of Allah.’ It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for Allah has never taken
anyone as a wife or a son,’ Then it will be said to them, ‘What do you want?’ They will say what the
former people have said. Then, when there remain (in the gathering) none but those who used to

worship Allah (Alone, the real Lord of the Worlds) whether they were obedient or disobedient. Then
(Allah) the Lord of the worlds will come to them in a shape nearest to the picture they had in their
minds about Him. It will be said, ‘What are you waiting for?’ Every nation have followed what they
used to worship.’ They will reply, ‘We left the people in the world when we were in great need of
them and we did not take them as friends. Now we are waiting for our Lord Whom we used to wor –
ship.’ Allah will say, ‘I am your Lord.’ They will say twice or thrice, ‘We do not worship any besides
Allah.’ “
