as to get for me the permission to see him?” His nephew said, “I will get the permission for you to see
him.” (Ibn ‘Abbas added: ) So he took the permission for ‘Uyaina, and when the latter entered, he said,
“O the son of Al-Khattab! By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with
justice.” On that ‘Umar became so furious that he intended to harm him. Al-Hurr, said, “O Chief of
the Believers!” Allah said to His Apostle ‘Hold to forgiveness, command what is good (right), and
leave the foolish (i.e. do not punish them).’ (7.199) and this person is among the foolish.” By Allah,
‘Umar did not overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him, and ‘Umar said to observe
(the orders of) Allah’s Book strictly.” (See Hadith No. 166, Vol. 6)

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas:
‘Ali bin Abu Talib came out of the house of the Prophet during his fatal ailment. The people asked
(‘Ali), “O Abu Hasan! How is the health of Allah’s Apostle this morning?” ‘Ali said, “This morning he is
better, with the grace of Allah.” Al-‘Abbas held Ali by the hand and said, “Don’t you see him (about to
die)? By Allah, within three days you will be the slave of the stick (i.e., under the command of anoth –
er ruler). By Allah, I think that Allah’s Apostle will die from his present ailment, for I know the signs
of death on the faces of the offspring of ‘Abdul Muttalib. So let us go to Allah’s Apostle to ask him
who will take over the Caliphate. If the authority is given to us, we will know it, and if it is given to
somebody else we will request him to recommend us to him. ” ‘Ali said, “By Allah! If we ask Allah’s
Apostle for the rulership and he refuses, then the people will never give it to us. Besides, I will never
ask Allah’s Apostle for it.” (See Hadith No 728, Vol 5)

Al-Fadl bin ‘Abbas rode behind the Prophet as his companion rider on the back portion of his she
camel on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifice, 10th Dhul-Hijja) and Al-Fadl was a handsome
man. The Prophet stopped to give the people verdicts. In the meantime, a beautiful woman From the
tribe of Khath’am came, asking the verdict of Allah’s Apostle. Al-Fadl started looking at her as her
beauty attracted him. The Prophet looked behind while Al-Fadl was looking at her; so the Prophet
held out his hand backwards and caught the chin of Al-Fadl and turned his face (to the owner sides
in order that he should not gaze at her. She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The obligation of Performing
Hajj enjoined by Allah on His worshipers, has become due (compulsory) on my father who is an old

‘Umar bin Al-Khattab departed for Sham and when he reached Sargh, the commanders of the

demic had broken out in Sham. ‘Umar said, “Call for me the early emigrants.” So ‘Umar called them,
consulted them and informed them that an epidemic had broken out in Sham. Those people differed
in their opinions. Some of them said, “We have come out for a purpose and we do not think that it is
proper to give it up,” while others said (to ‘Umar), “You have along with you. other people and the
companions of Allah’s Apostle so do not advise that we take them to this epidemic.” ‘Umar said to

them, “Leave me now.” Then he said, “Call the Ansar for me.” I called them and he consulted them and
they followed the way of the emigrants and differed as they did. He then said to them, Leave me
now,” and added, “Call for me the old people of Quraish who emigrated in the year of the Conquest
of Mecca.” I called them and they gave a unanimous opinion saying, “We advise that you should re –
turn with the people and do not take them to that (place) of epidemic.” So ‘Umar made an announce –
ment, “I will ride back to Medina in the morning, so you should do the same.” Abu ‘Ubaida bin Al-
Jarrah said (to ‘Umar), “Are you running away from what Allah had ordained?” ‘Umar said, “Would
that someone else had said such a thing, O Abu ‘Ubaida! Yes, we are running from what Allah had
ordained to what Allah has ordained. Don’t you agree that if you had camels that went down a valley
having two places, one green and the other dry, you would graze them on the green one only if Allah
had ordained that, and you would graze them on the dry one only if Allah had ordained that?” At
that time ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Auf, who had been absent because of some job, came and said, “I have
some knowledge about this. I have heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘If you hear about it (an outbreak of
plague) in a land, do not go to it; but if plague breaks out in a country where you are staying, do not
run away from it.’ ” ‘Umar thanked Allah and returned to Medina.
