Volume 6, Book 60, Number 367:
Narrated Habib bin Abi Thabit:
I went to Abu Wail to ask him (about those who had rebelled against ‘Ali). On that Abu Wail said,
“We were at Siffin (a city on the bank of the Euphrates, the place where me battle took place between
‘Ali and Muawiya) A man said, “Will you be on the side of those who are called to consult Allah’s
Book (to settle the dispute)?” ‘Ali said, ‘Yes (I agree that we should settle the matter in the light of the
Qur’an).” ‘ Some people objected to ‘Ali’s agreement and wanted to fight. On that Sahl bin Hunaif
said, ‘Blame yourselves! I remember how, on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (i.e. the peace treaty between
the Prophet and the Quraish pagans), if we had been allowed to choose fighting, we would have
fought (the pagans). At that time ‘Umar came (to the Prophet) and said, “Aren’t we on the right (path)
and they (pagans) in the wrong? Won’t our killed persons go to Paradise, and theirs in the Fire?” The
Prophet replied, “Yes.” Umar further said, “Then why should we let our religion be degraded and re –
turn before Allah has settled the matter between us?” The Prophet said, “O the son of Al-Khattab! No
doubt, I am Allah’s Apostle and Allah will never neglect me.” So Umar left the place angrily and he
was so impatient that he went to Abu Bakr and said, “O Abu Bakr! Aren’t we on the right (path) and
they (pagans) on the wrong?” Abu Bakr said, “O the son of Al-Khattab! He is Allah’s Apostle, and Al –
lah will never neglect him.” Then Sura Al-Fath (The Victory) was revealed.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 368:
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:
The two righteous persons were about to be ruined. They were Abu Bakr and ‘Umar who raised
their voices in the presence of the Prophet when a mission from Bani Tamim came to him. One of the
two recommended Al-Aqra’ bin Habeas, the brother of Bani Mujashi (to be their governor) while the
other recommended somebody else. (Nafi’, the sub-narrator said, I do not remember his name). Abu
Bakr said to Umar, “You wanted nothing but to oppose me!” ‘Umar said, “I did not intend to oppose
you.” Their voices grew loud in that argument, so Allah revealed:
‘O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet.’ (49.2) Ibn Az-Zubair
said, “Since the revelation of this Verse, ‘Umar used to speak in such a low tone that the Prophet had
to ask him to repeat his statements.” But Ibn Az-Zubair did not mention the same about his (mater –
nal) grandfather (i.e. Abu Bakr).
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 369:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet missed Thabit bin Qais for a period (So he inquired about him). A man said. “O Allah’s
Apostle! I will bring you his news.” So he went to Thabit and found him sitting in his house and bow –
ing his head. The man said to Thabit, ” ‘What is the matter with you?” Thabit replied that it was an

evil affair, for he used to raise his voice above the voice of the Prophet and so all his good deeds had
been annulled, and he considered himself as one of the people of the Fire. Then the man returned to
the Prophet and told him that Thabit had said, so-and-so. (Musa bin Anas) said: The man returned to
Thabit with great glad tidings. The Prophet said to the man. “Go back to him and say to him: “You are
not from the people of the Hell Fire, but from the people of Paradise.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 370:
Narrated Abdullah bin Az-Zubair:
A group of Bani Tamim came to the Prophet (and requested him to appoint a governor for them).
Abu Bakr said, “Appoint Al-Qaqa bin Mabad.” Umar said, “Appoint Al-Aqra’ bin Habeas.” On that
Abu Bakr said (to ‘Umar). “You did not want but to oppose me!” ‘Umar replied “I did not intend to op –
pose you!” So both of them argued till their voices grew loud. So the following Verse was revealed:
‘O you who believe! Be not for ward……’ (49.1)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 371:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “The people will be thrown into the (Hell) Fire and it will say: “Are there any
more (to come)?’ (50.30) till Allah puts His Foot over it and it will say, ‘Qati! Qati! (Enough
Enough!)'”
