Chapter 127: The sitting of two men together on a donkey - كتاب الجهاد والسير
Narrated Nafi` from `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ يُونُسُ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَقْبَلَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ مِنْ أَعْلَى مَكَّةَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، مُرْدِفًا أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ وَمَعَهُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ مِنَ الْحَجَبَةِ، حَتَّى أَنَاخَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِمِفْتَاحِ الْبَيْتِ، فَفَتَحَ وَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَعَهُ أُسَامَةُ وَبِلاَلٌ وَعُثْمَانُ، فَمَكَثَ فِيهَا نَهَارًا طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَاسْتَبَقَ النَّاسُ، وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ دَخَلَ، فَوَجَدَ بِلاَلاً وَرَاءَ الْبَابِ قَائِمًا، فَسَأَلَهُ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَشَارَ لَهُ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَنَسِيتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ كَمْ صَلَّى مِنْ سَجْدَةٍ
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Mecca through its higher region on the day of the Conquest (of Mecca) riding
his she-camel on which Usama was riding behind him. Bilal and `Uthman bin Talha, one of the
servants of the Ka`ba, were also accompanying him till he made his camel kneel in the mosque and
ordered the latter to bring the key of the Ka`ba. He opened the door of the Ka`ba and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
entered in the company of Usama, Bilal and `Uthman, and stayed in it for a long period. When he
came out, the people rushed to it, and `Abdullah bin `Umar was the first to enter it and found Bilal
standing behind the door. He asked Bilal, "Where did the Prophet (ﷺ) offer his prayer?" He pointed to the
place where he had offered his prayer. `Abdullah said, "I forgot to ask him how many rak`at he had
performed."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" كُلُّ سُلاَمَى مِنَ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَطْلُعُ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ، يَعْدِلُ بَيْنَ الاِثْنَيْنِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَيُعِينُ الرَّجُلَ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ، فَيَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا، أَوْ يَرْفَعُ عَلَيْهَا مَتَاعَهُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَالْكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ صَدَقَةٌ، وَكُلُّ خَطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ صَدَقَةٌ، وَيُمِيطُ الأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There is a (compulsory) Sadaqa (charity) to be given for every joint of the
human body (as a sign of gratitude to Allah) everyday the sun rises. To judge justly between two
persons is regarded as Sadaqa, and to help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride
it or by lifting his luggage on to it, is also regarded as Sadaqa, and (saying) a good word is also
Sadaqa, and every step taken on one's way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the mosque) is also
Sadaqa and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also Sadaqa."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ صَبَّحَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَيْبَرَ وَقَدْ خَرَجُوا بِالْمَسَاحِي عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَالُوا هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَالْخَمِيسُ، مُحَمَّدٌ وَالْخَمِيسُ. فَلَجَئُوا إِلَى الْحِصْنِ، فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ
" اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، خَرِبَتْ خَيْبَرُ، إِنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا بِسَاحَةِ قَوْمٍ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ ". وَأَصَبْنَا حُمُرًا فَطَبَخْنَاهَا، فَنَادَى مُنَادِي النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَنْهَيَانِكُمْ عَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ، فَأُكْفِئَتِ الْقُدُورُ بِمَا فِيهَا. تَابَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدَيْهِ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) reached Khaibar in the morning, while the people were coming out carrying their spades
over their shoulders. When they saw him they said, "This is Muhammad and his army! Muhammad
and his army!" So, they took refuge in the fort. The Prophet (ﷺ) raised both his hands and said, "Allahu
Akbar, Khaibar is ruined, for when we approach a nation (i.e. enemy to fight) then miserable is the
morning of the warned ones." Then we found some donkeys which we (killed and) cooked: The
announcer of the Prophet (ﷺ) announced: "Allah and His Apostle forbid you to eat donkey's meat." So, all
the pots including their contents were turned upside down.

Chapter 131: Raising the voice when saying Takbir - كتاب الجهاد والسير
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَكُنَّا إِذَا أَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى وَادٍ هَلَّلْنَا وَكَبَّرْنَا ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُنَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، ارْبَعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ لاَ تَدْعُونَ أَصَمَّ وَلاَ غَائِبًا، إِنَّهُ مَعَكُمْ، إِنَّهُ سَمِيعٌ قَرِيبٌ، تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّهُ ".
We were in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (during Hajj). Whenever we went up a high place we used
to say: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is Greater," and our voices used to
rise, so the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O people! Be merciful to yourselves (i.e. don't raise your voice), for you are
not calling a deaf or an absent one, but One Who is with you, no doubt He is All-Hearer, ever Near (to
all things).
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) returned from the Hajj or the `Umra or a Ghazwa, he would say Takbir thrice.
Whenever he came upon a mountain path or wasteland, and then he would say, "None has the right to
be worshipped but Allah, Alone Who has no partner. All the Kingdom belongs to Him and all the
praises are for Him and He is Omnipotent. We are returning with repentance, worshipping, prostrating
ourselves and praising our Lord. Allah fulfilled His Promise, granted victory to His slave and He
Alone defeated all the clans."
I heard Abu Burda who accompanied Yazid bin Abi Kabsha on a journey. Yazid used to observe
fasting on journeys. Abu Burda said to him, "I heard Abu Musa several times saying that Allah's
Apostle said, 'When a slave falls ill or travels, then he will get reward similar to that he gets for good
deeds practiced at home when in good health."

On the day of the battle of the Trench, the Prophet (ﷺ) wanted somebody from amongst the people to
volunteer to be a reconnoitre. Az-Zubair volunteered. He demanded the same again and Az-Zubair
volunteered again. Then he repeated the same demand (thrice) and AzZubair volunteered once more.
The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, " Every prophet has a disciple and my disciple is Az-Zubair."

While I was in the company of `Abdullah bin `Umar on the way to Mecca, he received the news of the
severe illness of Safiya bint Abi Ubaid (i.e. his wife), so he proceeded at greater speed, and when the

That he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a woman, and no
lady should travel except with a Muhram (i.e. her husband or a person whom she cannot marry in any
case for ever; e.g. her father, brother, etc.)." Then a man got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have
enlisted in the army for such-and-such Ghazwa and my wife is proceeding for Hajj." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "Go, and perform the Hajj with your wife."
I heard `Ali saying, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me, Az-Zubair and Al-Miqdad somewhere saying, 'Proceed
till you reach Rawdat Khakh. There you will find a lady with a letter. Take the letter from her.' " So,
we set out and our horses ran at full pace till we got at Ar-Rawda where we found the lady and said (to
her). "Take out the letter." She replied, "I have no letter with me." We said, "Either you take out the
letter or else we will take off your clothes." So, she took it out of her braid. We brought the letter to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and it contained a statement from Hatib bin Abi Balta a to some of the Meccan pagans
informing them of some of the intentions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Hatib!
What is this?" Hatib replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Don't hasten to give your judgment about me. I was
a man closely connected with the Quraish, but I did not belong to this tribe, while the other emigrants
with you, had their relatives in Mecca who would protect their dependents and property . So, I wanted
to recompense for my lacking blood relation to them by doing them a favor so that they might protect
my dependents. I did this neither because of disbelief not apostasy nor out of preferring Kufr
(disbelief) to Islam." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), said, "Hatib has told you the truth." `Umar said, O Allah's
Apostle! Allow me to chop off the head of this hypocrite." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Hatib participated in
the battle of Badr, and who knows, perhaps Allah has already looked at the Badr warriors and said,
'Do whatever you like, for I have forgiven you."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أُتِيَ بِأُسَارَى، وَأُتِيَ بِالْعَبَّاسِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبٌ، فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَهُ قَمِيصًا فَوَجَدُوا قَمِيصَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُبَىٍّ يَقْدُرُ عَلَيْهِ، فَكَسَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِيَّاهُ، فَلِذَلِكَ نَزَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَمِيصَهُ الَّذِي أَلْبَسَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ كَانَتْ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يُكَافِئَهُ.
When it was the day (of the battle) of Badr, prisoners of war were brought including Al-Abbas who
was undressed. The Prophet (ﷺ) looked for a shirt for him. It was found that the shirt of `Abdullah bin
Ubai would do, so the Prophet (ﷺ) let him wear it. That was the reason why the Prophet (ﷺ) took off and gave
his own shirt to `Abdullah. (The narrator adds, "He had done the Prophet (ﷺ) some favor for which the
Prophet liked to reward him.")
On the day (of the battle) of Khaibar the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tomorrow I will give the flag to somebody
who will be given victory (by Allah) and who loves Allah and His Apostle and is loved by Allah and
His Apostle." So, the people wondered all that night as to who would receive the flag and in the
morning everyone hoped that he would be that person. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Where is `Ali?" He
was told that `Ali was suffering from eye-trouble, so he applied saliva to his eyes and invoked Allah
to cure him. He at once got cured as if he had no ailment. The Prophet (ﷺ) gave him the flag. `Ali said,
"Should I fight them till they become like us (i.e. Muslim)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go to them patiently
and calmly till you enter the land. Then, invite them to Islam, and inform them what is enjoined upon
them, for, by Allah, if Allah gives guidance to somebody through you, it is better for you than
possessing red camels."
