SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 5 > BOOK 59: MILITARY EXPEDITIONS LED BY THE PROPHET (PBUH) (AL-MAGHAAZI)
Allah’s Apostle sent me, Abu Marthad and Az-Zubair, and all of us were riding horses, and said,
“Go till you reach Raudat-Khakh where there is a pagan woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi
Balta’ a to the pagans of Mecca.” So we found her riding her camel at the place which Allah’s Apostle
had mentioned. We said (to her),”(Give us) the letter.” She said, “I have no letter.” Then we made her
camel kneel down and we searched her, but we found no letter. Then we said, “Allah’s Apostle had
not told us a lie, certainly. Take out the letter, otherwise we will strip you naked.” When she saw that
we were determined, she put her hand below her waist belt, for she had tied her cloak round her
waist, and she took out the letter, and we brought her to Allah’s Apostle Then ‘Umar said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! (This Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers! Let me cut off his neck!” The
Prophet asked Hatib, “What made you do this?” Hatib said, “By Allah, I did not intend to give up my
belief in Allah and His Apostle but I wanted to have some influence among the (Mecca) people so
that through it, Allah might protect my family and property. There is none of your companions but
has some of his relatives there through whom Allah protects his family and property.” The Prophet
said, “He has spoken the truth; do no say to him but good.” ‘Umar said, “He as betrayed Allah, His
Apostle and the faithful believers. Let me cut off his neck!” The Prophet said, “Is he not one of the
Badr warriors? May be Allah looked at the Badr warriors and said, ‘Do whatever you like, as I have
granted Paradise to you, or said, ‘I have forgiven you.”‘ On this, tears came out of Umar’s eyes, and he
said, “Allah and His Apostle know better.”

Narrated ‘Ali:
Fatima complained of the suffering caused to her by the hand mill. Some Captives were brought to
the Prophet, she came to him but did not find him at home ‘Aisha was present there to whom she told
(of her desire for a servant). When the Prophet came, Aisha informed him about Fatima’s visit. Ali
added “So the Prophet came to us, while we had gone to our bed I wanted to get up but the Prophet
said, “Remain at your place”. Then he sat down between us till I found the coolness of his feet on my
chest. Then he said, “Shall I teach you a thing which is better than what you have asked me? When
you go to bed, say, ‘Allahu-Akbar’ thirty-four times, and ‘Subhan Allah thirty-three times, and ‘Al –
hamdu-lillah thirty-three times for that is better for you both than a servant.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 808:
Narrated ‘Ali:
I relate the traditions of Allah’s Apostle to you for I would rather fall from the sky than attribute
something to him falsely. But when I tell you a thing which is between you and me, then no doubt,
war is guile. I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “In the last days of this world there will appear some
young foolish people who will use (in their claim) the best speech of all people (i.e. the Qur’an) and
they will abandon Islam as an arrow going through the game. Their belief will not go beyond their
throats (i.e. they will have practically no belief), so wherever you meet them, kill them, for he who
kills them shall get a reward on the Day of Resurrection.”

world of her time) and Khadija is the best amongst the women. (of this nation).”
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 404:
Narrated Ali:
We did not, write anything from the Prophet except the Quran and what is written in this paper,
(wherein) the Prophet said, “Medina is a sanctuary from (the mountain of) Air to so and-so, there –
fore, whoever innovates (in it) an heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter to such an innovator, will
incur the Curse of Allah. the angels and all the people; and none of his compulsory or optional good
deeds of worship will be accepted And the asylum granted by any Muslim Is to be secured by all the
Muslims even if it is granted by one of the lowest social status among them. And whoever betrays a
Muslim in this respect will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compuls –
ory and optional good deeds of worship will not be accepted. And any freed slave will take as mas –
ters (befriends) people other than his own real masters who freed him without taking the permission
of the latter, will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compulsory and op –
tional good deeds of worship will not be accepted.”
Narrated Said: Abu Huraira once said (to the people), “What will your state be when you can get
no Dinar or Dirhan (i.e. taxes from the Dhimmis)?” on that someone asked him, “What makes you
know that this state will take place, O Abu- Hu raira?” He said, “By Him in Whose Hands Abu
Huraira’s life is, I know it through the statement of the true and truly inspired one (i.e. the Prophet).”
The people asked, “What does the Statement say?” He replied, “Allah and His Apostle’s asylum granted
to Dhimmis, i.e. non-Muslims living in a Muslim territory) will be outraged, and so Allah will make
the hearts of these Dhimmis so daring that they will refuse to pay the Jizya they will be supposed to
pay.”
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 344:
Narrated ‘Ali:
Fatima complained of what she suffered from the hand mill and from grinding, when she got the
news that some slave girls of the booty had been brought to Allah’s Apostle. She went to him to ask
for a maid-servant, but she could not find him, and told ‘Aisha of her need. When the Prophet came,
Aisha informed him of that. The Prophet came to our house when we had gone to our beds. (On see –
ing the Prophet) we were going to get up, but he said, ‘Keep at your places,’ I felt the coolness of the
Prophet’s feet on my chest. Then he said, “Shall I tell you a thing which is better than what you asked
me for? When you go to your beds, say: ‘Allahu Akbar (i.e. Allah is Greater)’ for 34 times, and ‘Al –
hamdu Lillah (i.e. all the praises are for Allah)’ for 33 times, and Subhan Allah (i.e. Glorified be Al –
lah) for 33 times. This is better for you than what you have requested.”
