حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ يُكْلَمُ أَحَدٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ـ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ يُكْلَمُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ ـ إِلاَّ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاللَّوْنُ لَوْنُ الدَّمِ وَالرِّيحُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! Whoever is wounded in Allah's
Cause....and Allah knows well who gets wounded in His Cause....will come on the Day of
Resurrection with his wound having the color of blood but the scent of musk."

Chapter 11: The Statement of Allah Aza wa'jal: "Say: Do you wait for us except one of the two best things (martyrdom or victory)?..." - كتاب الجهاد والسير
That Abu Sufyan told him that Heraclius said to him, "I asked you about the outcome of your battles
with him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ) and you told me that you fought each other with alternate success. So the
Apostles are tested in this way but the ultimate victory is always theirs.
My uncle Anas bin An-Nadr was absent from the Battle of Badr. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! 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 Sa`d bin Mu`adh met him. He said "O Sa`d bin Mu`adh ! By the Lord of An-Nadr, Paradise! I am
smelling its aroma coming from before (the mountain of) Uhud," Later on Sa`d 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 Messenger (ﷺ) ordered for retaliation. On
that Anas (bin An-Nadr) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! 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 Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There are some people amongst Allah's
slaves whose oaths are fulfilled by Allah when they take them."

Zaid bin Thabit said, "When the Qur'an was compiled from various written manuscripts, one of the
Verses of Surat Al-Ahzab was missing which I used to hear Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reciting. I could not find it
except with Khuza`ima bin Thabjt Al-Ansari, whose witness Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) regarded as equal to the
witness of two men. And the Verse was:-- "Among the believers are men who have been true to what
they covenanted with Allah." (33.23)

A man whose face was covered with an iron mask (i.e. clad in armor) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said,
"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first? "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Embrace Islam first and
then fight." So he embraced Islam, and was martyred. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, A Little work, but a great
reward. "(He did very little (after embracing Islam), but he will be rewarded in abundance).
Um Ar-Rubai'bint Al-Bara', the mother of Hartha bin Suraqa came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's
Prophet! Will you tell me about Hartha?" Hartha has been killed (i.e. martyred) on the day of Badr
with an arrow thrown by an unidentified person. She added, "If he is in Paradise, I will be patient;
otherwise, I will weep bitterly for him." He said, "O mother of Hartha! There are Gardens in Paradise

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked, "A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a
third fights for showing off; which of them fights in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who fights
that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause."

his garment and said, "(During the construction of the mosque of the Prophet) we carried the adobe of
the mosque, one brick at a time while `Ammar used to carry two at a time. The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by

killed by a rebellious aggressive group. `Ammar will invite them to (obey) Allah and they will invite
him to the (Hell) fire."

arms and took a bath. Then Gabriel whose head was covered with dust, came to him saying, "You
have put down your arms! By Allah, I have not put down my arms yet." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Where
(to go now)?" Gabriel said, "This way," pointing towards the tribe of Bani Quraiza. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
went out towards them .

For thirty days Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) invoked Allah to curse those who had killed the companions of Bir-
Mauna; he invoked evil upon the tribes of Ral, Dhakwan, and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and His
Apostle. There was reveled about those who were killed at Bir-Mauna a Qur'anic Verse we used to
recite, but it was cancelled later on. The Verse was:
"Inform our people that we have met our Lord. He is pleased with us and He has made us pleased."
"Some people drank alcohol in the morning of the day (of the battle) of Uhud and were martyred (on
the same day)." Sufyan was asked, "(Were they martyred) in the last part of the day?)" He replied,
"Such information does not occur in the narration."
My father's mutilated body was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and was placed in front of him. I went to
uncover his face but my companions forbade me. Then mourning cries of a lady were heard, and it
was said that she was either the daughter or the sister of `Amr. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why is she crying?"
Or said, "Do not cry, for the angels are still shading him with their wings." (Al-Bukhari asked Sadqa,
a sub-narrator, "Does the narration include the expression: 'Till he was lifted?' " The latter replied,
"Jabir may have said it.")

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Once Solomon, son of David said, '(By Allah)
Tonight I will have sexual intercourse with one hundred (or
ninety-nine) women each of whom will give birth to a knight who will
fight in Allah's Cause.' On that a (i.e. if Allah wills) but he did
not say, 'Allah willing.' Therefore only one of those women conceived
and gave birth to a half-man. By Him in Whose Hands Muhammad's life
is, if he had said, "Allah willing', (he would have begotten sons) all
of whom would have been knights striving in Allah's Cause."

Jubair bin Mut`im told me that while he was in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with the people
returning from Hunain, some people (bedouins) caught hold of the Prophet (ﷺ) and started begging of him
so much so that he had to stand under a (kind of thorny tree (i.e. Samurah) and his cloak was snatched
away. The Prophet (ﷺ) stopped and said, "Give me my cloak. If I had as many camels as these thorny
trees, I would have distributed them amongst you and you will not find me a miser or a liar or a
coward."
Sa`d used to teach his sons the following words as a teacher teaches his students the skill of writing
and used to say that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to seek Refuge with Allah from them (i.e. the evils) at the
end of every prayer. The words are:
'O Allah! I seek refuge with You from cowardice, and seek refuge with You from being brought back
to a bad stage of old life and seek refuge with You from the afflictions of the world, and seek refuge
with You from the punishments in the grave.'

whom kills the other and both of them enter Paradise. One fights in
Allah's Cause and gets killed. Later on Allah forgives the 'killer who
also get martyred (In Allah's Cause)."
I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while he was at Khaibar after it had fallen
in the Muslims' hands. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Give me a share
(from the land of Khaibar)."
One of the sons of Sa'id bin Al-'As said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do not
give him a share." I said, "This is the murderer of Ibn Qauqal." The
son of Said bin Al-As said, "Strange! A Wabr (i.e. guinea pig) who has
come down to us from the mountain of Qaduim (i.e. grazing place of
sheep) blames me for killing a Muslim who was given superiority by
Allah because of me, and Allah did not disgrace me at his hands (i.e.
was not killed as an infidel)." (The sub-narrator said "I do not know
whether the Prophet (ﷺ) gave him a share or not.")
