Narrated Abdullah bin Mas’ud:

“Proceed, and we are with you.” That seemed to delight Allah’s Apostle greatly.

Narrated Abdullah bin Masud:
Allah’s Apostle said to me, “Recite (of the Qur’an) for me,” I said, “Shall I recite it to you although it
had been revealed to you?” He said, “I like to hear (the Qur’an) from others.” So I recited Surat-an-
Nisa’ till I reached: “How (will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness, and We bring
you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people?” (4.41) Then he said, “Stop!” And behold, his
eyes were overflowing with tears.”
Volume 5, Book 59, Number 286:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
From Sad bin Mu’adh: Sad bin Mu’adh was an intimate friend of Umaiya bin Khalaf and whenever
Umaiya passed through Medina, he used to stay with Sad, and whenever Sad went to Mecca, he used
to stay with Umaiya. When Allah’s Apostle arrived at Medina, Sa’d went to perform ‘Umra and stayed
at Umaiya’s home in Mecca. He said to Umaiya, “Tell me of a time when (the Mosque) is empty so
that I may be able to perform Tawaf around the Ka’ba.” So Umaiya went with him about midday. Abu
Jahl met them and said, “O Abu Safwan! Who is this man accompanying you?” He said, “He is Sad.”
Abu Jahl addressed Sad saying, “I see you wandering about safely in Mecca inspite of the fact that
you have given shelter to the people who have changed their religion (i.e. became Muslims) and
have claimed that you will help them and support them. By Allah, if you were not in the company of
Abu Safwan, you would not be able to go your family safely.” Sad, raising his voice, said to him, “By
Allah, if you should stop me from doing this (i.e. performing Tawaf) I would certainly prevent you
from something which is more valuable for you, that is, your passage through Medina.” On this,
Umaiya said to him, “O Sad do not raise your voice before Abu-l-Hakam, the chief of the people of
the Valley (of Mecca).” Sad said, “O Umaiya, stop that! By Allah, I have heard Allah’s Apostle predict –
ing that the Muslim will kill you.” Umaiya asked, “In Mecca?” Sad said, “I do not know.” Umaiya was
greatly scared by that news.
When Umaiya returned to his family, he said to his wife, “O Um Safwan! Don’t you know what
Sad told me? “She said, “What has he told you?” He replied, “He claims that Muhammad has informed
them (i.e. companions that they will kill me. I asked him, ‘In Mecca?’ He replied, ‘I do not know.”
Then Umaiya added, “By Allah, I will never go out of Mecca.” But when the day of (the Ghazwa of)
Badr came, Abu Jahl called the people to war, saying, “Go and protect your caravan.” But Umaiya dis –
liked to go out (of Mecca). Abu Jahl came to him and said, “O Abu Safwan! If the people see you stay –
ing behind though you are the chief of the people of the Valley, then they will remain behind with

you.” Abu Jahl kept on urging him to go until he (i.e. Umaiya) said, “As you have forced me to change
my mind, by Allah, I will buy the best camel in Mecca. Then Umaiya said (to his wife). “O Um
Safwan, prepare what I need (for the journey).” She said to him, “O Abu Safwan! Have you forgotten
what your Yathribi brother told you?” He said, “No, but I do not want to go with them but for a short
distance.” So when Umaiya went out, he used to tie his camel wherever he camped. He kept on doing
that till Allah caused him to be killed at Badr.

them all dead, putrefied by the sun as that day was a very hot day.

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 826:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
Sa’d bin Mu’adh came to Mecca with the intention of performing ‘Umra, and stayed at the house of
Umaiya bin Khalaf Abi Safwan, for Umaiya himself used to stay at Sa’d’s house when he passed by
Medina on his way to Sham. Umaiya said to Sad, “Will you wait till midday when the people are (at
their homes), then you may go and perform the Tawaf round the Ka’ba?” So, while Sad was going
around the Ka’ba, Abu Jahl came and asked, “Who is that who is performing Tawaf?” Sad replied, “I
am Sad.” Abu Jahl said, “Are you circumambulating the Ka’ba safely although you have given refuge
to Muhammad and his companions?” Sad said, “Yes,” and they started quarreling. Umaiya said to Sad,
“Don’t shout at Abi-l-Hakam (i.e. Abu Jahl), for he is chief of the valley (of Mecca).” Sad then said (to
Abu Jahl). ‘By Allah, if you prevent me from performing the Tawaf of the Ka’ba, I will spoil your trade
with Sham.” Umaiya kept on saying to Sad, “Don’t raise your voice.” and kept on taking hold of him.
Sad became furious and said, (to Umaiya), “Be away from me, for I have heard Muhammad saying
that he will kill you.” Umaiiya said, “Will he kill me?” Sad said, “Yes,.” Umaiya said, “By Allah! When
Muhammad says a thing, he never tells a lie.” Umaiya went to his wife and said to her, “Do you know
what my brother from Yathrib (i.e. Medina) has said to me?” She said, “What has he said?” He said,
“He claims that he has heard Muhammad claiming that he will kill me.”

She said, By Allah! Muhammad never tells a lie.” So when the infidels started to proceed for Badr
(Battle) and declared war (against the Muslims), his wife said to him, “Don’t you remember what
your brother from Yathrib told you?” Umaiya decided not to go but Abu Jahl said to him, “You are
from the nobles of the valley of Mecca), so you should accompany us for a day or two.” He went with
them and thus Allah got him killed.
