Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abu'n-Nadr, the mawla of
'Umar ibn 'Ubaydullah at-Taymi, from Nafi, the mawla of Abu Qatada al-
Ansari, that Abu Qatada was once with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace. When they got to one of the roads
to Makka he fell behind with some companions of his who were muhrim,
while he was not. Then he saw a wild ass, so he got on his mount and
asked his companions to give him his whip but they refused. Then he
asked them for his spear and they refused to give it to him. So he
took hold of it and attacked the ass and killed it. Some of the
companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, ate from it, and others refused. When they had caught up
with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
they asked him about it and he said, "It is food that Allah has fed
you with."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 78
`Utba bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Sa`d to take the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a into his
custody. `Utba said (to him). "He is my son." When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived in Mecca during the
Conquest (of Mecca), Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas took the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a and took him to
the Prophet (ﷺ) `Abd bin Zam`a too came along with him. Sa`d said. "This is the son of my brother and
the latter has informed me that he is his son." `Abd bin Zam`a said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This is my
brother who is the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a and was born on his (i.e. Zam'as) bed.' Allah's
Apostle looked at the son of the slave-girl of Zam`a and noticed that he, of all the people had the
greatest resemblance to `Utba bin Abi Waqqas. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said (to `Abd), " He is yours; he
is your brother, O `Abd bin Zam`a, he was born on the bed (of your father)." (At the same time)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to his wife Sauda), "Veil yourself before him (i.e. the son of the slave-girl) O
Sauda," because of the resemblance he noticed between him and `Utba bin Abi Waqqas. Allah's
Apostle added, "The boy is for the bed (i.e. for the owner of the bed where he was born), and stone is
for the adulterer." (Ibn Shihab said, "Abu Huraira used to say that (i.e. the last statement of the
Prophet in the above Hadith 596, publicly.")
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 336
`Aisha said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "O Aisha! Were your nation not close to the Pre-Islamic
Period of Ignorance, I would have had the Ka`ba demolished and would have included in it the portion
which had been left, and would have made it at a level with the ground and would have made two
doors for it, one towards the east and the other towards the west, and then by doing this it would have
been built on the foundations laid by Abraham." That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair to demolish the
Ka`ba. Jazz said, "I saw Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka`ba and included in it a
portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka`ba which is at present in the form of a compound
towards the northwest of the Ka`ba). I saw the original foundations of Abraham which were of stones
resembling the humps of camels." So Jarir asked Yazid, "Where was the place of those stones?" Jazz
said, "I will just now show it to you." So Jarir accompanied Yazid and entered Al-Hijr, and Jazz
pointed to a place and said, "Here it is." Jarir said, "It appeared to me about six cubits from Al-Hijr or
so."
