Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ أَرَادَ حُنَيْنًا

Chapter 40: The story of Abu Talib - كتاب مناقب الأنصار
Narrated Al-Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا أَغْنَيْتَ عَنْ عَمِّكَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَحُوطُكَ وَيَغْضَبُ لَكَ. قَالَ
" هُوَ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنْ نَارٍ، وَلَوْلاَ أَنَا لَكَانَ فِي الدَّرَكِ الأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ ".
That he said to the Prophet (ﷺ) "You have not been of any avail to your uncle (Abu Talib) (though) by
Allah, he used to protect you and used to become angry on your behalf." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He is in a
shallow fire, and had It not been for me, he would have been in the bottom of the (Hell) Fire."
When Abu Talib was in his death bed, the Prophet (ﷺ) went to him while Abu Jahl was sitting beside him.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O my uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, an expression
I will defend your case with, before Allah." Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Umaiya said, "O Abu Talib!
Will you leave the religion of `Abdul Muttalib?" So they kept on saying this to him so that the last
statement he said to them (before he died) was: "I am on the religion of `Abdul Muttalib." Then the
Prophet said, " I will keep on asking for Allah's Forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden to do so."
Then the following Verse was revealed:--
"It is not fitting for the Prophet (ﷺ) and the believers to ask Allah's Forgiveness for the pagans, even if
they were their near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the (Hell)
Fire." (9.113)
The other Verse was also revealed:-- "(O Prophet!) Verily, you guide not whom you like, but Allah
guides whom He will ......." (28.56)

" لَعَلَّهُ تَنْفَعُهُ شَفَاعَتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَيُجْعَلُ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنَ النَّارِ، يَبْلُغُ كَعْبَيْهِ، يَغْلِي مِنْهُ دِمَاغُهُ ". حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ وَالدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بِهَذَا، وَقَالَ تَغْلِي مِنْهُ أُمُّ دِمَاغِهِ.
That he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) when somebody mentioned his uncle (i.e. Abu Talib), saying, "Perhaps my
intercession will be helpful to him on the Day of Resurrection so that he may be put in a shallow fire
reaching only up to his ankles. His brain will boil from it."
Narrated Yazid:
(as above, Hadith 224) using the words: "will make his brain boil."

Chapter 41: The narration about Al-Isra (Journey by Night) - كتاب مناقب الأنصار
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ
" لَمَّا كَذَّبَنِي قُرَيْشٌ قُمْتُ فِي الْحِجْرِ، فَجَلاَ اللَّهُ لِي بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ، فَطَفِقْتُ أُخْبِرُهُمْ عَنْ آيَاتِهِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ ".
That he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "When the people of Quraish did not believe me (i.e. the story
of my Night Journey), I stood up in Al-Hijr and Allah displayed Jerusalem in front of me, and I began
describing it to them while I was looking at it."
Malik bin Sasaa said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) described to them his Night Journey saying, "While I was
lying in Al-Hatim or Al-Hijr, suddenly someone came to me and cut my body open from here to
here." I asked Al-Jarud who was by my side, "What does he mean?" He said, "It means from his throat
to his pubic area," or said, "From the top of the chest." The Prophet (ﷺ) further said, "He then took out my
heart. Then a gold tray of Belief was brought to me and my heart was washed and was filled (with
Belief) and then returned to its original place. Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and
bigger than a donkey was brought to me." (On this Al-Jarud asked, "Was it the Buraq, O Abu
Hamza?" I (i.e. Anas) replied in the affirmative). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The animal's step (was so wide
that it) reached the farthest point within the reach of the animal's sight. I was carried on it, and Gabriel
set out with me till we reached the nearest heaven.
When he asked for the gate to be opened, it was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel answered, 'Gabriel.' It was
asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has Muhammad
been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed. What an excellent
visit his is!' The gate was opened, and when I went over the first heaven, I saw Adam there. Gabriel
said (to me). 'This is your father, Adam; pay him your greetings.' So I greeted him and he returned the
greeting to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious son and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended
with me till we reached the second heaven. Gabriel asked for the gate to be opened. It was asked,
'Who is it?' Gabriel answered, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied,
'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel answered in the affirmative. Then it was
said, 'He is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened.
When I went over the second heaven, there I saw Yahya (i.e. John) and `Isa (i.e. Jesus) who were
cousins of each other. Gabriel said (to me), 'These are John and Jesus; pay them your greetings.' So I
greeted them and both of them returned my greetings to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O pious
brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the third heaven and asked for its gate
to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is accompanying
you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied in the
affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed, what an excellent visit his is!' The gate was opened,
and when I went over the third heaven there I saw Joseph. Gabriel said (to me), 'This is Joseph; pay
him your greetings.' So I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are welcomed,
O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the fourth heaven and asked for
its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel' It was asked, 'Who is
accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied
in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed, what an excel lent visit his is!'
The gate was opened, and when I went over the fourth heaven, there I saw Idris. Gabriel said (to me),
'This is Idris; pay him your greetings.' So I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said,
'You are welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the fifth
heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.' It was
asked. 'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?'
Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said He is welcomed, what an excellent visit his is! So
when I went over the fifth heaven, there I saw Harun (i.e. Aaron), Gabriel said, (to me). This is Aaron;
pay him your greetings.' I greeted him and he returned the greeting to me and said, 'You are
welcomed, O pious brother and pious Prophet.' Then Gabriel ascended with me to the sixth heaven
and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked. 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'Gabriel.' It was asked,
'Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel
replied in the affirmative. It was said, 'He is welcomed. What an excellent visit his is!'
When I went (over the sixth heaven), there I saw Moses. Gabriel said (to me),' This is Moses; pay him
your greeting. So I greeted him and he returned the greetings to me and said, 'You are welcomed, O
pious brother and pious Prophet.' When I left him (i.e. Moses) he wept. Someone asked him, 'What
makes you weep?' Moses said, 'I weep because after me there has been sent (as Prophet) a young man
whose followers will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my followers.' Then Gabriel ascended
with me to the seventh heaven and asked for its gate to be opened. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel
replied, 'Gabriel.' It was asked,' Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel replied, 'Muhammad.' It was
asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel replied in the affirmative. Then it was said, 'He is welcomed.
What an excellent visit his is!'
So when I went (over the seventh heaven), there I saw Abraham. Gabriel said (to me), 'This is your
father; pay your greetings to him.' So I greeted him and he returned the greetings to me and said, 'You
are welcomed, O pious son and pious Prophet.' Then I was made to ascend to Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e.
the Lote Tree of the utmost boundary) Behold! Its fruits were like the jars of Hajr (i.e. a place near
Medina) and its leaves were as big as the ears of elephants. Gabriel said, 'This is the Lote Tree of the
utmost boundary) . Behold ! There ran four rivers, two were hidden and two were visible, I asked,
'What are these two kinds of rivers, O Gabriel?' He replied,' As for the hidden rivers, they are two
rivers in Paradise and the visible rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates.'
Then Al-Bait-ul-Ma'mur (i.e. the Sacred House) was shown to me and a container full of wine and
another full of milk and a third full of honey were brought to me. I took the milk. Gabriel remarked,
'This is the Islamic religion which you and your followers are following.' Then the prayers were
enjoined on me: They were fifty prayers a day. When I returned, I passed by Moses who asked (me),
'What have you been ordered to do?' I replied, 'I have been ordered to offer fifty prayers a day.' Moses
said, 'Your followers cannot bear fifty prayers a day, and by Allah, I have tested people before you,
and I have tried my level best with Bani Israel (in vain). Go back to your Lord and ask for reduction to
lessen your followers' burden.' So I went back, and Allah reduced ten prayers for me. Then again I
came to Moses, but he repeated the same as he had said before. Then again I went back to Allah and
He reduced ten more prayers. When I came back to Moses he said the same, I went back to Allah and
He ordered me to observe ten prayers a day. When I came back to Moses, he repeated the same
advice, so I went back to Allah and was ordered to observe five prayers a day.
When I came back to Moses, he said, 'What have you been ordered?' I replied, 'I have been ordered to
observe five prayers a day.' He said, 'Your followers cannot bear five prayers a day, and no doubt, I
have got an experience of the people before you, and I have tried my level best with Bani Israel, so go
back to your Lord and ask for reduction to lessen your follower's burden.' I said, 'I have requested so
much of my Lord that I feel ashamed, but I am satisfied now and surrender to Allah's Order.' When I
left, I heard a voice saying, 'I have passed My Order and have lessened the burden of My Worshipers."

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلاَّ فِتْنَةً لِلنَّاسِ} قَالَ هِيَ رُؤْيَا عَيْنٍ، أُرِيَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ. قَالَ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُونَةَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ هِيَ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ.
Regarding the Statement of Allah"
"And We granted the vision (Ascension to the heavens) which We made you see (as an actual eye
witness) was only made as a trial for the people." (17.60)
Ibn `Abbas added: The sights which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was shown on the Night Journey when he was
taken to Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e. Jerusalem) were actual sights, (not dreams). And the Cursed Tree
(mentioned) in the Qur'an is the tree of Zaqqum (itself) .

Chapter 43: The deputation of the Ansar to the Prophet (saws) at Makkah, and the Al-Aqaba - كتاب مناقب الأنصار
Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ كَعْبٍ ـ وَكَانَ قَائِدَ كَعْبٍ حِينَ عَمِيَ ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يُحَدِّثُ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ. بِطُولِهِ، قَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَلَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ حِينَ تَوَاثَقْنَا عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ، وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِهَا مَشْهَدَ بَدْرٍ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَدْرٌ، أَذْكَرَ فِي النَّاسِ مِنْهَا.
Who was Ka`b's guide when Ka`b turned blind: I heard Ka`b bin Malik narrating: When he remained
behind (i.e. did not Join) the Prophet (ﷺ) in the Ghazwa of Tabuk. Ibn Bukair, in his narration stated that
Ka`b said, " I witnessed the Al-`Aqaba pledge of allegiance at night with the Prophet (ﷺ) when we jointly
agreed to support Islam with all our efforts I would not like to have attended the Badr battle instead of
that 'Aqaba pledge although Badr is more well-known than it, amongst the people."
I was present with my two maternal uncles at Al-`Aqaba (where the pledge of allegiance was given).
(Ibn 'Uyaina said, "One of the two was Al-Bara' bin Marur.")
Who had taken part in the battle of Badr with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and had been amongst his companions
on the night of Al-`Aqaba Pledge: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), surrounded by a group of his companions said,
"Come along and give me the pledge of allegiance that you will not worship anything besides Allah,
will not steal, will not commit illegal sexual intercourse will not kill your children, will not utter;
slander, invented by yourself, and will not disobey me if I order you to do something good. Whoever
among you will respect and fulfill this pledge, will be rewarded by Allah. And if one of you commits
any of these sins and is punished in this world then that will be his expiation for it, and if one of you
commits any of these sins and Allah screens his sin, then his matter, will rest with Allah: If He will,
He will punish him and if He will,. He will excuse him." So I gave the pledge of allegiance to him for
these conditions.
I was one of the Naqibs who gave the ('Aqaba) Pledge of Allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . We gave the
pledge of allegiance to him that we would not worship anything other than Allah, would not steal,
would not commit illegal sexual intercourse, would not kill a person whose killing Allah has made
illegal except rightfully, would not rob each other, and we would not be promised Paradise jf we did
the above sins, then if we committed one of the above sins, Allah will give His Judgment concerning
it.

The Prophet (ﷺ) engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home
of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and
my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She
called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand
and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became
Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house.
There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good
luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's
Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a
girl of nine years of age.

" أُرِيتُكِ فِي الْمَنَامِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، أَرَى أَنَّكِ فِي سَرَقَةٍ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ وَيَقُولُ هَذِهِ امْرَأَتُكَ فَاكْشِفْ عَنْهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ أَنْتِ فَأَقُولُ إِنْ يَكُ هَذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ يُمْضِهِ ".
That the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "You have been shown to me twice in my dream. I saw you pictured on a
piece of silk and some-one said (to me). 'This is your wife.' When I uncovered the picture, I saw that it
was yours. I said, 'If this is from Allah, it will be done."
Khadija died three years before the Prophet (ﷺ) departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so
and then he married `Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ، يَقُولُ عُدْنَا خَبَّابًا فَقَالَ هَاجَرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نُرِيدُ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ، فَوَقَعَ أَجْرُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ، فَمِنَّا مَنْ مَضَى، لَمْ يَأْخُذْ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ شَيْئًا، مِنْهُمْ مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، وَتَرَكَ نَمِرَةً، فَكُنَّا إِذَا غَطَّيْنَا بِهَا رَأْسَهُ بَدَتْ رِجْلاَهُ، وَإِذَا غَطَّيْنَا رِجْلَيْهِ بَدَا رَأْسُهُ، فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ نُغَطِّيَ رَأْسَهُ، وَنَجْعَلَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ إِذْخِرٍ. وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَيْنَعَتْ لَهُ ثَمَرَتُهُ فَهْوَ يَهْدِبُهَا.
We visited Khabbaba who said, "We migrated with the Prophet (ﷺ) for Allah's Sake, so our reward
became due and sure with Allah. Some of us passed away without taking anything of their rewards (in
this world) and one of them was Mus`ab bin `Umar who was martyred on the day (of the battle) of
Uhud leaving a striped woolen cloak. When we covered his head with it, his feet became naked, and
when covered his feet, his head became naked.
So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered us to cover his head and put some Idhkhir (i.e. a special kind of grass) on
his feet. (On the other hand) some of us have had their fruits ripened (in this world) and they are
collecting them."

Narrated `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ ـ عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ
" الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ".
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "The reward of deeds depends on the intentions, so whoever emigrated for
the worldly benefits or to marry a woman, his emigration was for that for which he emigrated, but
whoever emigrated for the Sake of Allah and His Apostle, his emigration is for Allah and His
Apostle."
`Ubaid bin `Umar Al-Laithi and I visited Aisha and asked her about the Hijra (i.e. migration), and she
said, "Today there is no (Hijrah) emigration. A believer used to run away with his religion to Allah
and His Apostle lest he should be put to trial because of his religion. Today Allah has made Islam
triumphant, and today a believer can worship his Lord wherever he likes. But the deeds that are still
rewardable (in place of emigration) are Jihad and good intentions." (See Hadith No. 42 Vol. 4).

Narrated Aisha:
حَدَّثَنِي زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ هِشَامٌ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ سَعْدًا، قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ أُجَاهِدَهُمْ فِيكَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ كَذَّبُوا رَسُولَكَ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَخْرَجُوهُ، اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنِّي أَظُنُّ أَنَّكَ قَدْ وَضَعْتَ الْحَرْبَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ. وَقَالَ أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ مِنْ قَوْمٍ كَذَّبُوا نَبِيَّكَ وَأَخْرَجُوهُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ.
Sa`d said, "O Allah! You know that there is none against whom I am eager to fight more willingly for
Your Cause than those people who disbelieved Your Apostle and drove him out (of his city). O Allah!
I think that You have ended the fight between us and them."

Hadith 3902
Chapter 45: The emigration of the Prophet (saws) to Al-Madina - كتاب مناقب الأنصار
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا مَطَرُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ بُعِثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، فَمَكُثَ بِمَكَّةَ ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أُمِرَ بِالْهِجْرَةِ فَهَاجَرَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ، وَمَاتَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَلاَثٍ وَسِتِّينَ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) started receiving the Divine Inspiration at the age of forty. Then he stayed in Mecca
for thirteen years, receiving the Divine Revelation. Then he was ordered to migrate and he lived as an
Emigrant for ten years and then died at the age of sixty-three (years).
