Volume 6, Book 60, Number 2:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When the Imam says: ‘Ghair-il-Maghdubi ‘Alaihim Walad-Dallin (i.e. not the
path of those who earn Your Anger, nor the path of those who went astray (1.7)), then you must say,
‘Ameen’, for if one’s utterance of ‘Ameen’ coincides with that of the angels, then his past sins will be
forgiven.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
The Prophet said, “It was said to the children of Israel, ‘Enter the gate (of the town), prostrate (in
humility) and say: Hittatun (i.e. repentance) i.e. O Allah!
Forgive our sins.’ But they entered by dragging themselves on their buttocks, so they did something
different (from what they had been ordered to do) and said, ‘Hittatun,’ but added, “A grain in a hair.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 12:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The people of the Scripture (Jews) used to recite the Torah in Hebrew and they used to explain it
in Arabic to the Muslims. On that Allah’s Apostle said, “Do not believe the people of the Scripture or
disbelieve them, but say:– “We believe in Allah and what is revealed to us.” (2.136)

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 400:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle (pointing to his broken canine tooth) said, “Allah’s Wrath has become severe on the
people who harmed His Prophet. Allah’s Wrath has become severe on the man who is killed by the
Apostle of Allah in Allah’s Cause.”

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 325:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle sent out ten spies under the command of ‘Asim bin Thabit Al-Ansari, the grand-
father of ‘Asim bin ‘Umar Al-Khattab. When they reached (a place called) Al-Hadah between ‘Usfan
and Mecca, their presence was made known to a sub-tribe of Hudhail called Banu Lihyan. So they
sent about one hundred archers after them. The archers traced the footsteps (of the Muslims) till they
found the traces of dates which they had eaten at one of their camping places. The archers said,
“These dates are of Yathrib (i.e. Medina),” and went on tracing the Muslims’ footsteps. When ‘Asim
and his companions became aware of them, they took refuge in a (high) place. But the enemy en –
circled them and said, “Come down and surrender. We give you a solemn promise and covenant that
we will not kill anyone of you.” ‘Asim bin Thabit said, “O people! As for myself, I will never get down
to be under the protection of an infidel. O Allah! Inform your Prophet about us.” So the archers
threw their arrows at them and martyred ‘Asim. Three of them came down and surrendered to them,
accepting their promise and covenant and they were Khubaib, Zaid bin Ad-Dathina and another
man. When the archers got hold of them, they untied the strings of the arrow bows and tied their
captives with them. The third man said, “This is the first proof of treachery! By Allah, I will not go
with you for I follow the example of these.” He meant the martyred companions. The archers
dragged him and struggled with him (till they martyred him). Then Khubaib and Zaid bin Ad-Dath –

ina were taken away by them and later on they sold them as slaves in Mecca after the event of the
Badr battle.
The sons of Al-Harit bin ‘Amr bin Naufal bought Khubaib for he was a person who had killed
(their father) Al-Hari bin ‘Amr on the day (of the battle) of Badr. Khubaib remained imprisoned by
them till they decided unanimously to kill him. One day Khubaib borrowed from a daughter of Al-
Harith, a razor for shaving his public hair, and she lent it to him. By chance, while she was inattent –
ive, a little son of hers went to him (i.e. Khubaib) and she saw that Khubaib had seated him on his
thigh while the razor was in his hand. She was so much terrified that Khubaib noticed her fear and
said, “Are you afraid that I will kill him? Never would I do such a thing.” Later on (while narrating
the story) she said, “By Allah, I had never seen a better captive than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw
him eating from a bunch of grapes in his hand while he was fettered with iron chains and (at that
time) there was no fruit in Mecca.” She used to say,” It was food Allah had provided Khubaib with.”
When they took him to Al-Hil out of Mecca sanctuary to martyr him, Khubaib requested them.
“Allow me to offer a two-Rak’at prayer.” They allowed him and he prayed two Rakat and then said,
“By Allah! Had I not been afraid that you would think I was worried, I would have prayed more.”
Then he (invoked evil upon them) saying, “O Allah! Count them and kill them one by one, and do not
leave anyone of them”‘ Then he recited: “As I am martyred as a Muslim, I do not care in what way I
receive my death for Allah’s Sake, for this is for the Cause of Allah. If He wishes, He will bless the cut
limbs of my body.” Then Abu Sarva, ‘Ubqa bin Al-Harith went up to him and killed him. It was
Khubaib who set the tradition of praying for any Muslim to be martyred in captivity (before he is ex –
ecuted). The Prophet told his companions of what had happened (to those ten spies) on the same day
they were martyred. Some Quraish people, being informed of ‘Asim bin Thabit’s death, sent some
messengers to bring a part of his body so that his death might be known for certain, for he had pre –
viously killed one of their leaders (in the battle of Badr). But Allah sent a swarm of wasps to protect
the dead body of ‘Asim, and they shielded him from the messengers who could not cut anything from
his body.
