Volume 4, Book 52, Number 140:
Narrated Anas:
We were with the Prophet (on a journey) and the only shade one could have was the shade made
by one’s own garment. Those who fasted did not do any work and those who did not fast served the
camels and brought the water on them and treated the sick and (wounded). So, the Prophet said,
“Today, those who were not fasting took (all) the reward.”

their backs and saying, “We are those who have given a pledge of allegiance to Muhammad that we

Narrated Anas:
Allah’s Apostle went towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and saw the Emigrants and the Ansar dig –
ging in a very cold morning as they did not have slaves to do that for them. When he noticed their
fatigue and hunger he said, “O Allah! The real life is that of the Here-after, (so please) forgive the
Ansar and the Emigrants.” In its reply the Emigrants and the Ansar said, “We are those who have giv –
en a pledge of allegiance to Muhammad that we will carry on Jihad as long as we live.”

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 61:
Narrated Anas:
My uncle Anas bin An-Nadr was absent from the Battle of Badr. He said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I was
absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. (By Allah) if Allah gives me a chance to
fight the pagans, no doubt. Allah will see how (bravely) I will fight.” On the day of Uhud when the
Muslims turned their backs and fled, he said, “O Allah! I apologize to You for what these (i.e. his
companions) have done, and I denounce what these (i.e. the pagans) have done.” Then he advanced
and Sad bin Muadh met him. He said “O Sad bin Muadh ! By the Lord of An-Nadr, Paradise! I am
smelling its aroma coming from before (the mountain of) Uhud,” Later on Sad said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! I cannot achieve or do what he (i.e. Anas bin An-Nadr) did. We found more than eighty
wounds by swords and arrows on his body. We found him dead and his body was mutilated so badly
that none except his sister could recognize him by his fingers.” We used to think that the following
Verse was revealed concerning him and other men of his sort: “Among the believers are men who
have been true to their covenant with Allah……….” (33.23)
His sister Ar-Rubbaya’ broke a front tooth of a woman and Allah’s Apostle ordered for retaliation.
On that Anas (bin An-Nadr) said, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, my
sister’s tooth shall not be broken.” Then the opponents of Anas’s sister accepted the compensation and
gave up the claim of retaliation. So Allah’s Apostle said, “There are some people amongst Allah’s
slaves whose oaths are fulfilled by Allah when they take them.”
