Volume 4, Book 53, Number 353:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “A prophet amongst the prophets carried out a holy military expedition, so he
said to his followers, ‘Anyone who has married a woman and wants to consummate the marriage,
and has not done so yet, should not accompany me; nor should a man who has built a house but has
not completed its roof; nor a man who has sheep or shecamels and is waiting for the birth of their
young ones.’ So, the prophet carried out the expedition and when he reached that town at the time or
nearly at the time of the ‘Asr prayer, he said to the sun, ‘O sun! You are under Allah’s Order and I am
under Allah’s Order O Allah! Stop it (i.e. the sun) from setting.’ It was stopped till Allah made him
victorious.
Then he collected the booty and the fire came to burn it, but it did not burn it. He said (to his men),
‘Some of you have stolen something from the booty. So one man from every tribe should give me a
pledge of allegiance by shaking hands with me.’ (They did so and) the hand of a man got stuck over
the hand of their prophet. Then that prophet said (to the man), ‘The theft has been committed by
your people. So all the persons of your tribe should give me the pledge of allegiance by shaking
hands with me.’ The hands of two or three men got stuck over the hand of their prophet and he said,
“You have committed the theft.’ Then they brought a head of gold like the head of a cow and put it
there, and the fire came and consumed the booty. The Prophet added: Then Allah saw our weakness
and disability, so he made booty legal for us.”

Al-Hasan bin ‘All took a date from the dates of the Sadaqa and put it in his mouth. The Prophet
said (to him) in Persian, “Kakh, kakh! (i.e. Don’t you know that we do not eat the Sadaqa (i.e. what is
given in charity) (charity is the dirt of the people)).”

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 307:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet got up amongst us and mentioned Al Ghulul, emphasized its magnitude and declared
that it was a great sin saying, “Don’t commit Ghulul for I should not like to see anyone amongst you
on the Day of Ressurection, carrying over his neck a sheep that will be bleating, or carrying over his
neck a horse that will be neighing. Such a man will be saying: ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Intercede with Al –
lah for me,’ and I will reply, ‘I can’t help you, for I have conveyed Allah’s Message to you Nor should I
like to see a man carrying over his neck, a camel that will be grunting. Such a man will say, ‘O Al –
lah’s Apostle! Intercede with Allah for me, and I will say, ‘I can’t help you for I have conveyed Allah’s
Message to you,’ or one carrying over his neck gold and silver and saying, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Inter –
cede with Allah for me,’ and I will say, ‘I can’t help you for I have conveyed Allah’s Message to you,’
or one carrying clothes that will be fluttering, and the man will say, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Intercede
with Allah for me.’ And I will say, ‘I can’t help you, for I have conveyed Allah’s Message to you.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
We were in the company of Allah’s Apostle in a Ghazwa, and he remarked about a man who
claimed to be a Muslim, saying, “This (man) is from the people of the (Hell) Fire.” When the battle
started, the man fought violently till he got wounded. Somebody said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The man

whom you described as being from the people of the (Hell) Fire fought violently today and died.” The
Prophet said, “He will go to the (Hell) Fire.” Some people were on the point of doubting (the truth of
what the Prophet had said) while they were in this state, suddenly someone said that he was still
alive but severely wounded. When night fell, he lost patience and committed suicide. The Prophet
was informed of that, and he said, “Allah is Greater! I testify that I am Allah’s Slave and His Apostle.”
Then he ordered Bilal to announce amongst the people: ‘None will enter Paradise but a Muslim, and
Allah may support this religion (i.e. Islam) even with a disobedient man.’

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 281:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle sent a Sariya of ten men as spies under the leadership of ‘Asim bin Thabit al-Ansari,
the grandfather of ‘Asim bin Umar Al-Khattab. They proceeded till they reached Hadaa, a place
between ‘Usfan, and Mecca, and their news reached a branch of the tribe of Hudhail called Bani Li –
hyan. About two-hundred men, who were all archers, hurried to follow their tracks till they found
the place where they had eaten dates they had brought with them from Medina. They said, “These
are the dates of Yathrib (i.e. Medina), “and continued following their tracks When ‘Asim and his
companions saw their pursuers, they went up a high place and the infidels circled them. The infidels
said to them, “Come down and surrender, and we promise and guarantee you that we will not kill
any one of you” ‘Asim bin Thabit; the leader of the Sariya said, “By Allah! I will not come down to be
under the protection of infidels. O Allah! Convey our news to Your Prophet. Then the infidels threw
arrows at them till they martyred ‘Asim along with six other men, and three men came down accept –
ing their promise and convention, and they were Khubaib-al-Ansari and Ibn Dathina and another
man So, when the infidels captured them, they undid the strings of their bows and tied them. Then
the third (of the captives) said, “This is the first betrayal. By Allah! I will not go with you. No doubt
these, namely the martyred, have set a good example to us.” So, they dragged him and tried to compel
him to accompany them, but as he refused, they killed him. They took Khubaid and Ibn Dathina with
them and sold them (as slaves) in Mecca (and all that took place) after the battle of Badr. Khubaib
was bought by the sons of Al-Harith bin ‘Amir bin Naufal bin ‘Abd Manaf. It was Khubaib who had
killed Al-Harith bin ‘Amir on the day (of the battle of) Badr. So, Khubaib remained a prisoner with
those people.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 52: FIGHTING FOR THE CAUSE OF ALLAH (JIHAAD)
Narrated Az-Zuhri: ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Iyyad said that the daughter of Al-Harith had told him,
“When those people gathered (to kill Khubaib) he borrowed a razor from me to shave his pubes and I
gave it to him. Then he took a son of mine while I was unaware when he came upon him. I saw him
placing my son on his thigh and the razor was in his hand. I got scared so much that Khubaib no –
ticed the agitation on my face and said, ‘Are you afraid that I will kill him? No, I will never do so.’ By
Allah, I never saw a prisoner better than Khubaib. By Allah, one day I saw him eating of a bunch of
grapes in his hand while he was chained in irons, and there was no fruit at that time in Mecca.” The
daughter of Al-Harith used to say, “It was a boon Allah bestowed upon Khubaib.” When they took
him out of the Sanctuary (of Mecca) to kill him outside its boundaries, Khubaib requested them to let
him offer two Rakat (prayer). They allowed him and he offered Two Rakat and then said, “Hadn’t I
been afraid that you would think that I was afraid (of being killed), I would have prolonged the
prayer. O Allah, kill them all with no exception.” (He then recited the poetic verse):– “I being mar –
tyred as a Muslim, Do not mind how I am killed in Allah’s Cause, For my killing is for Allah’s Sake,
And if Allah wishes, He will bless the amputated parts of a torn body” Then the son of Al Harith killed
him. So, it was Khubaib who set the tradition for any Muslim sentenced to death in captivity, to offer
a two-Rak’at prayer (before being killed). Allah fulfilled the invocation of Asim bin Thabit on that
very day on which he was martyred. The Prophet informed his companions of their news and what
had happened to them. Later on when some infidels from Quraish were informed that Asim had
been killed, they sent some people to fetch a part of his body (i.e. his head) by which he would be re –
cognized. (That was because) ‘Asim had killed one of their chiefs on the day (of the battle) of Badr.
So, a swarm of wasps, resembling a shady cloud, were sent to hover over Asim and protect him from
their messenger and thus they could not cut off anything from his flesh.
