Narrated Qais:
I heard Sa’id bin Zaid saying, “I have seen myself tied and forced by ‘Umar to leave Islam (Before
‘Umar himself embraced Islam). And if the mountain of Uhud were to collapse for the evil which you
people had done to ‘Uthman, then Uhud would have the right to do so.” (See Hadith No. 202, Vol. 5)
Volume 9, Book 85, Number 74:
Narrated Anas:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever possesses the (following) three qualities will have the sweetness of
faith (1): The one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else; (2) Who loves a
person and he loves him only for Allah’s Sake; (3) who hates to revert to atheism (disbelief) as he
hates to be thrown into the Fire.”

The Prophet used to invoke Allah in his prayer, “O Allah! Save ‘Aiyash bin Abi Rabi’a and Salama

hard upon the tribe of Mudar and inflict years (of famine) upon them like the (famine) years of
Joseph.”
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 72:
Narrated:
Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman and Hibban bin ‘Atiyya had a dispute. Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said to Hibban,
“You know what made your companions (i.e. Ali) dare to shed blood.” Hibban said, “Come on! What
is that?” ‘Abdur-Rahman said, “Something I heard him saying.” The other said, “What was it?” ‘Abdur –
Rahman said, “‘Ali said, Allah’s Apostle sent for me, Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of us were
cavalry men, and said, ‘Proceed to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu ‘Awana called it like this,
i.e., Hajj where there is a woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta’a to the pagans (of
Mecca). So bring that letter to me.’ So we proceeded riding on our horses till we overtook her at the
same place of which Allah’s Apostle had told us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter Hatib
had written to the Meccans about the proposed attached of Allah’s Apostle against them. We asked
her, “Where is the letter which is with you?’ She replied, ‘I haven’t got any letter.’ So we made her
camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we did not find anything. My two companions said,
‘We do not think that she has got a letter.’ I said, ‘We know that Allah’s Apostle has not told a lie.'”
Then ‘Ali took an oath saying, “By Him by Whom one should swear! You shall either bring out the
letter or we shall strip off your clothes.” She then stretched out her hand for her girdle (round her
waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They took the letter to Allah’s Apostle. ‘Umar said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! (Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his neck!” Allah’s
Apostle said, “O Hatib! What obliged you to do what you have done?” Hatib replied, “O Allah’s
Apostle! Why (for what reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I intended to do
the (Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my family and property may be protected as there is
none of your companions but has some of his people (relatives) whom Allah urges to protect his
family and property.” The Prophet said, “He has said the truth; therefore, do not say anything to him
except good.” ‘Umar again said, “O Allah’s Apostle! He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believ –
ers; let me chop his neck off!” The Prophet said, “Isn’t he from those who fought the battle of Badr?
And what do you know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to them), ‘Do
what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?’ ” On that, ‘Umar’s eyes became flooded with tears
and he said, “Allah and His Apostle know best.”

Once Allah’s Apostle came to me in the morning, and a man among us said, “Where is Malik bin
Ad-Dukhshun?” Another man from us replied, “He is a hypocrite who does not love Allah and His
Apostle.” The Prophet said, “Don’t you think that he says: None has the right to be worshipped but Al –

lah, only for Allah’s sake?” They replied, “Yes” The Prophet said, “Nobody will meet Allah with that
saying on the Day of Resurrection, but Allah will save him from the Fire.”

people who will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out from
(leave) Islam as an arrow darts through the game’s body.’ “
