Many deputations came to Mu'awiya. This was in the month of Ramadan. We would prepare food for one another. Abu Huraira was one of those who frequently invited us to his house. I said: Should I not prepare food and invite them to my place? So I ordered meals to be prepared Then I met Abu Huraira in the evening and said: (You will have) your meals with me tonight. He said: You have forestalled me. I said: Yes, and invited them. (When they had finished with the meals) Abu Huraira said: Should I not tell yon a tradition from your traditions, O ye assembly of the Ansar? He then gave an account of the Conquest of Mecca and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) advanced until he reached Mecca. He deputed Zubair on his right flank and Khalid on the left, and he despatched Abu Ubaida with the force that had no armour. They advanced to the interior of the valley. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in the midst of a large contingent of fighters. He saw me and said: Abu Huraira. I said: I am here at your call, Messenger of Allah I He said: Let no one come to me except the Ansar, so call to me the Ansar (only). Abu Huraira continued: So they gathered round him. The Quraish also gathered their ruffians and their (lowly) followers, and said: We send these forward. If they get anything, we shall be with them (to share it), and if misfortune befalls them, we shall pay (as compensation) whatever we are asked for. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said (to the Ansar): You see the ruffians and the (lowly) followers of the Quraish. And he indicated by (striking) one of his hands over the other that they should be killed and said: Meet me at as-Safa. Then we went on (and) if any one of us wanted that a certain person should be killed, he was killed, and none could offer any resistance. Abu Huraira continued: Then came Abu Sufyan and said: Messenger of Allah, the blood of the Quraish has become very cheap. There will be no Quraish from this day on. Then he (the Holy Prophet) said: Who enters the house of Abu Sufyan, he will be safe. Some of the Ansar whispered among themselves: (After all), love for his city and tenderness towards his relations have overpowered him. Abu Huraira said: (At this moment) revelation came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and when he was going to receive the Revelation, we understood it, and when he was (actually) receiving it, none of us would dare raise his eyes to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) until the revelation came to an end. When the revelation came to an end, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: O ye Assembly of the Ansar! They said: Here we are at your disposal, Messenger of Allah. He said: You were saying that love for his city and tenderness towards his people have overpowered this man. They said: So it was. He said: No, never. I am a bondman of God and His Messenger. I migrated towards God and towards you. I will live with you and will die with you. So, they (the Ansar) turned towards him in tears and they were saying: By Allah, we said what we said because of our tenacious attachment to Allah and His Messenger. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Surely, Allah and His Messenger testify to your assertions and accept your apology. The narrator continued: People turned to the house of Abu Sufyan and people locked their doors. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) proceeded until he approached the (Black) Stone. He kissed it and circumambulated the Ka'ba. He reached near an idol by the side of the Ka'ba which was worshipped by the people. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had a bow in his hand, and he was holding it from a corner. When he came near the idol, he began to pierce its eyes with the bow and (while doing so) was saying: Truth has been established and falsehood has perished. When he had finished the circumambulation, he came to Safa', ascended it to a height from where he could see the Ka'ba, raised his hands (in prayer) and began to praise Allah and prayed what he wanted to pray.
Sahih Muslim Book 32, Hadith 104
The wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) : We set out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on one of his journeys, and when we were at
Baida' or at Dhat-al-Jaish, a necklace of mine was broken (and lost). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stayed there to
look for it, and so did the people along with him. Neither were they at a place of water, nor did they
have any water with them. So the people went to Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and said, "Don't you see what
`Aisha has done? She has made Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the people, stay where there is no water and they
have no water with them." Abu Bakr came while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sleeping with his head on my
thigh. He said (to me), "You have detained Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the people where there is no water,
and they have no water with them." So he admonished me and said what Allah wished him to say, and
he hit me on my flanks with his hand. Nothing prevented me from moving (because of pain! but the
position of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my thigh. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up when dawn broke and there was no
water, so Allah revealed the Verse of Tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair said, "It is not the first blessing of
yours, O the family of Abu Bakr." Then we made the camel on which I was riding, got up, and found
the necklace under it.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 129
"When the Prophet of Allah sat, some of his Companions would sit with him. Among them was a man who had a little son who used to come to him from behind, and he would make him sit in front of him. He (the child) died, and the man stopped attending the circle because it reminded him of his son, and made him feel sad. The Prophet missed him and said: 'Why do I not see so-and-so?' They said: O Messenger of Allah, his son whom you saw has died.' The Prophet met him and asked him about his son, and he told him that he had died. He offered his condolences and said: 'O son-and-so, which would you like better, to enjoy his company all you life, or to come to any of the gates of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection, and find that he arrived there before you, and he is opening the gate for you?' he said: 'O Prophet of Allah! For him to get to the gate of Paradise before me and open it for me is dearer to me.' He said: 'You will have that."'
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 21, Hadith 271
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to pray dhuhr, asr, maghrib, isha and subh at Mina. Then in the
morning, after the sun had risen, he would go to Arafa .
Malik said, "What we are all agreed upon here (in Madina) is that the
imam does not recite the Quran out loud in dhuhr on the day of Arafa,
and that he gives a khutba to the people on that day, and that the
prayer on the day of Arafa is really a dhuhr prayer, and even if it
coincides with a jumua it is still a dhuhr prayer, but one which has
been shortened because of travelling."
Malik said that the
imam of the pilgrims should not pray the jumua prayer if the day of
Arafa, the day of sacrifice or one of the three days after the day of
sacrifice, was a Friday.
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 207
A bedouin gave the Pledge of allegiance for embracing Islam to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and then he got an attack of fever in Medina and came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ): and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Cancel my pledge." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) refused to do so. The bedouin came to him again and said, "Cancel my pledge," but he refused again, and then again, the bedouin came to him and said, "Cancel my pledge," and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) refused. The bedouin finally went away, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Medina is like a pair of bellows (furnace), it expels its impurities while it brightens and clears its good.'
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 96, Hadith 52
Yahya related to me from Malik from Malik from Abu Hazim ibn
Dinar from Sahl ibn Sad as-Saidi that a woman came to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "Messenger
of Allah! I have given myself to you." She stood for a long time, and
then a man got up and said, "Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if
you have no need of her." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Do you have anything to give her as a
bride-price?" He said, "I possess only this lower garment of mine."
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"If you give it to her you will not have a garment to wear so look for
something else." He said, "I have nothing else." He said, "Look for
something else, even if it is only an iron ring." He looked, and found
that he had nothing. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Do you know any of the Quran?" He said, "Yes.
I know such-and-such a sura and such-and-such a sura," which he named.
The Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said
to him, "I have married her to you for what you know of the Quran."
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 8
A man expressed his intention to give charity, so he came out with charity and placed it in the hand of an adulteress. In the morning, the people were talking and saying: charity was given to an adulteress last night. He (the giver of Sadaqa) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise-to an adulteress. He then again expressed his intention to give charity; so he went out with the charity and placed it in the hand of a rich person. In the morning the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a rich person. He (the giver of charity) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise-to a well-to-do person. He then expressed his intention to give charity, so he went out with charity and placed it in the hand of a thief. In the morning, the people were talking and saying: Charity was given to a thief. So (one of the persons) said: 0 Allah, to Thee be the praise (what a misfortune it is that charity has been given to) the adulteress, to a rich person. to a thief! There came (the angel to him) and he was told: Your charity has been accepted. As for the adulteress (the charity might become the means) whereby she might restrain herself from fornication. The rich man might perhaps learn a lesson and spend from what Allah has given him, and the thief might thereby refrain from committing theft.
