When `Abdullah bin Salam heard the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) at Medina, he came to him and said, "I am
going to ask you about three things which nobody knows except a prophet: What is the first portent of
the Hour? What will be the first meal taken by the people of Paradise? Why does a child resemble its
father, and why does it resemble its maternal uncle" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Gabriel has just now told
me of their answers." `Abdullah said, "He (i.e. Gabriel), from amongst all the angels, is the enemy of
the Jews." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The first portent of the Hour will be a fire that will bring together the
people from the east to the west; the first meal of the people of Paradise will be Extra-lobe (caudate
lobe) of fish-liver. As for the resemblance of the child to its parents: If a man has sexual intercourse
with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if the woman gets
discharge first, the child will resemble her." On that `Abdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that you are
the Messenger of Allah." `Abdullah bin Salam further said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The Jews are liars, and if
they should come to know about my conversion to Islam before you ask them (about me), they would
tell a lie about me." The Jews came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and `Abdullah went inside the house. Allah's
Apostle asked (the Jews), "What kind of man is `Abdullah bin Salam amongst you?" They replied,
"He is the most learned person amongst us, and the best amongst us, and the son of the best amongst
us." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "What do you think if he embraces Islam (will you do as he does)?" The
Jews said, "May Allah save him from it." Then `Abdullah bin Salam came out in front of them saying,
"I testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of
Allah." Thereupon they said, "He is the evilest among us, and the son of the evilest amongst us," and
continued talking badly of him.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 4
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Safwan ibn
Abdullah ibn Safwan that it was said to Safwan ibn Umayya, "Whoever
does not do hijra is ruined." So Safwan ibn Umayya went to Madina and
slept in the mosque with his cloak as a pillow. A thief came and took
his cloak and Safwan grabbed hold of the thief and brought him to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to
him, "Did you steal this cloak?" He said, "Yes." So the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered that his hand
be cut off. Safwan said to him, "I did not intend this. It is his as
sadaqa." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Why didn't you do it before bringing him to me?"
Muwatta Malik Book 41, Hadith 30
"We said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What is wrong with us that when we are with you our hearts are softened and we feel free of desire for this world, and we are of the people of the Hereafter. But when we depart from you and socialize with our families and our children, we do not recognize ourselves(i.e., we are changed persons)?' So the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'If you were to be in that condition when you depart from me, the angels would have surely visited you in your houses. And if you did not sin, Allah would surely have brought anew creation that they may sin, so that then He may forgive them.'"He said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! From what was the creation created?' He said: 'From water.' We said: 'Paradise, what is it constructed of?' He said,'Bricks of silver and bricks of gold. Its mortar is musk of a strong fragrance, and its pebbles are pearls and rubies, and its earth is saffron. Whoever enters it shall live and shall not suffer, and shall feel joy and shall not die, nor shall their clothes wear out, nor shall their youth come to an end.' Then he said: 'Three persons , their supplication is not rejected: The just ruler, the fasting person when he breaks his fast, and the supplication of the wronged person. It is raised up above the clouds, and the gates of Heaven are opened up for it, and the Lord, Blessed and Exalted says: I shall surely come to your aid, even if after a time.'"
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 38, Hadith 4
(The wife of the Prophet) Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intended to go on a journey, he used to draw lots
among his wives and would take with him the one on whom the lot had fallen. Once he drew lots
when he wanted to carry out a Ghazwa, and the lot came upon me. So I proceeded with Allah's
Apostle after Allah's order of veiling (the women) had been revealed and thus I was carried in my
howdah (on a camel) and dismounted while still in it. We carried on our journey, and when Allah's
Apostle had finished his Ghazwa and returned and we approached Medina, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered to
proceed at night. When the army was ordered to resume the homeward journey, I got up and walked
on till I left the army (camp) behind. When I had answered the call of nature, I went towards my
howdah, but behold ! A necklace of mine made of Jaz Azfar (a kind of black bead) was broken and I
looked for it and my search for it detained me.
The group of people who used to carry me, came and carried my howdah on to the back of my camel
on which I was riding, considering that I was therein. At that time women were light in weight and
were not fleshy for they used to eat little (food), so those people did not feel the lightness of the
howdah while raising it up, and I was still a young lady. They drove away the camel and proceeded.
Then I found my necklace after the army had gone. I came to their camp but found nobody therein so I
went to the place where I used to stay, thinking that they would miss me and come back in my search.
While I was sitting at my place, I felt sleepy and slept. Safwan bin Al-Mu'attil As-Sulami Adh-
Dhakw-ani was behind the army. He had started in the last part of the night and reached my stationing
place in the morning and saw the figure of a sleeping person. He came to me and recognized me on
seeing me for he used to see me before veiling. I got up because of his saying: "Inna Li l-lahi wa inna
ilaihi rajiun," which he uttered on recognizing me. I covered my face with my garment, and by Allah,
he did not say to me a single word except, "Inna Li l-lahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun," till he made his shecamel
kneel down whereupon he trod on its forelegs and I mounted it. Then Safwan set out, leading
the she-camel that was carrying me, till we met the army while they were resting during the hot
midday.
Then whoever was meant for destruction, fell in destruction, and the leader of the Ifk (forged
statement) was `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. After this we arrived at Medina and I became ill for one
month while the people were spreading the forged statements of the people of the Ifk, and I was not
aware of anything thereof. But what aroused my doubt while I was sick, was that I was no longer
receiving from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the same kindness as I used to receive when I fell sick. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
would enter upon me, say a greeting and add, "How is that (lady)?" and then depart.
That aroused my suspicion but I was not aware of the propagated evil till I recovered from my
ailment. I went out with Um Mistah to answer the call of nature towards Al-Manasi, the place where
we used to relieve ourselves, and used not to go out for this purpose except from night to night, and
that was before we had lavatories close to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar to the habit
of the old 'Arabs (in the deserts or in the tents) concerning the evacuation of the bowels, for we
considered it troublesome and harmful to take lavatories in the houses. So I went out with Um Mistah
who was the daughter of Abi Ruhm bin `Abd Manaf, and her mother was daughter of Sakhr bin Amir
who was the aunt of Abi Bakr As-Siddiq, and her son was Mistah bin Uthatha. When we had finished
our affair, Um Mistah and I came back towards my house. Um Mistah stumbled over her robe
whereupon she said, "Let Mistah be ruined ! " I said to her, "What a bad word you have said! Do you
abuse a man who has taken part in the Battle of Badr?' She said, "O you there! Didn't you hear what
he has said?" I said, "And what did he say?" She then told me the statement of the people of the Ifk
(forged statement) which added to my ailment. When I returned home, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me,
and after greeting, he said, "How is that (lady)?" I said, "Will you allow me to go to my parents?" At
that time I intended to be sure of the news through them. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) allowed me and I went to my
parents and asked my mother, "O my mother! What are the people talking about?" My mother said,
"O my daughter! Take it easy, for by Allah, there is no charming lady who is loved by her husband
who has other wives as well, but that those wives would find fault with her." I said, "Subhan Allah!
Did the people really talk about that?"
That night I kept on weeping the whole night till the morning. My tears never stopped, nor did I sleep,
and morning broke while I was still weeping, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called `Ali bin Abi Talib and Usama bin
Zaid when the Divine Inspiration delayed, in order to consult them as to the idea of divorcing his wife.
Usama bin Zaid told Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of what he knew about the innocence of his wife and of his
affection he kept for her. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! She is your wife, and we do not know anything
about her except good." But `Ali bin Abi Talib said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah does not impose
restrictions on you; and there are plenty of women other than her. If you however, ask (her) slave girl,
she will tell you the truth." `Aisha added: So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called for Barira and said, "O Barira! Did
you ever see anything which might have aroused your suspicion? (as regards Aisha). Barira said, "By
Allah Who has sent you with the truth, I have never seen anything regarding Aisha which I would
blame her for except that she is a girl of immature age who sometimes sleeps and leaves the dough of
her family unprotected so that the domestic goats come and eat it."
So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up (and addressed) the people an asked for somebody who would take revenge
on `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul then. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), while on the pulpit, said, "O Muslims! Who
will help me against a man who has hurt me by slandering my family? By Allah, I know nothing
except good about my family, and people have blamed a man of whom I know nothing except good,
and he never used to visit my family except with me," Sa`d bin Mu`adh Al-Ansari got up and said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, I will relieve you from him. If he be from the tribe of (Bani) Al-Aus, then I
will chop his head off; and if he be from our brethren, the Khazraj, then you give us your order and we
will obey it."
On that, Sa`d bin 'Ubada got up, and he was the chief of the Khazraj, and before this incident he had
been a pious man but he was incited by his zeal for his tribe. He said to Sa`d (bin Mu`adh), "By Allah
the Eternal, you have told a lie! You shall not kill him and you will never be able to kill him!" On that,
Usaid bin Hudair, the cousin of Sa`d (bin Mu`adh) got up and said to Sa`d bin 'Ubada, "You are a liar!
By Allah the Eternal, we will surely kill him; and you are a hypocrite defending the hypocrites!" So
the two tribes of Al-Aus and Al-Khazraj got excited till they were on the point of fighting with each
other while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was standing on the pulpit. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) continued quietening them till
they became silent whereupon he became silent too. On that day I kept on weeping so much that
neither did my tears stop, nor could I sleep. In the morning my parents were with me, and I had wept
for two nights and a day without sleeping and with incessant tears till they thought that my liver would
burst with weeping. While they were with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked permission
to see me. I admitted her and she sat and started weeping with me. While I was in that state, Allah's
Apostle came to us, greeted, and sat down,. He had never sat with me since the day what was said,
was said. He had stayed a month without receiving any Divine Inspiration concerning my case.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited the Tashahhud after he had sat down, and then said, "Thereafter, O `Aisha! I
have been informed such and-such a thing about you; and if you are innocent, Allah will reveal your
innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then ask for Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him, for
when a slave confesses his sin and then repents to Allah, Allah accepts his repentance." When Allah's
Apostle had finished his speech, my tears ceased completely so that I no longer felt even a drop
thereof. Then I said to my father, "Reply to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf as to what he said." He said,
"By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Then I said to my mother, "Reply to Allah's
Apostle."
She said, "I do not know what to say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Still a young girl as I was and though I had
little knowledge of Qur'an, I said, "By Allah, I know that you heard this story (of the Ifk) so much so
that it has been planted in your minds and you have believed it. So now, if I tell you that I am
innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you will not believe me; and if I confess something,
and Allah knows that I am innocent of it, you will believe me. By Allah, I cannot find of you an
example except that of Joseph's father: "So (for me) patience is most fitting against that which you
assert and it is Allah (Alone) Whose help can be sought. Then I turned away and lay on my bed, and
at that time I knew that I was innocent and that Allah would reveal my innocence. But by Allah, I
never thought that Allah would sent down about my affair, Divine Inspiration that would be recited
(forever), as I considered myself too unworthy to be talked of by Allah with something that was to be
recited: but I hoped that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) might have a vision in which Allah would prove my
innocence. By Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not left his seat and nobody had left the house when the
Divine Inspiration came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . So there overtook him the same hard condition which
used to overtake him (when he was Divinely Inspired) so that the drops of his sweat were running
down, like pearls, though it was a (cold) winter day, and that was because of the heaviness of the
Statement which was revealed to him. When that state of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was over, and he was
smiling when he was relieved, the first word he said was, "Aisha, Allah has declared your innocence."
My mother said to me, "Get up and go to him." I said, "By Allah, I will not go to him and I will not
thank anybody but Allah." So Allah revealed: "Verily! They who spread the Slander are a gang among
you. Think it not...." (24.11-20).
When Allah revealed this to confirm my innocence, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq who used to provide for
Mistah bin Uthatha because of the latter's kinship to him and his poverty, said, "By Allah, I will never
provide for Mistah anything after what he has said about Aisha". So Allah revealed:
(continued...)
(continuing... 1): -6.274:... ...
"Let not those among you who are good and are wealthy swear not to give (help) to their kinsmen,
those in need, and those who have left their homes for Allah's Cause. Let them Pardon and forgive
(i.e. do not punish them). Do you not love that should forgive you? Verily Allah is Oft-forgiving.
Most Merciful." (24.22)
Abu Bakr said, "Yes, by Allah, I wish that Allah should forgive me." So he resumed giving Mistah the
aid he used to give him before and said, "By Allah, I will never withold it from him at all." Aisha
further said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also asked Zainab bint Jahsh about my case. He said, "O Zainab! What
have you seen?" She replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I protect my hearing and my sight (by refraining
from telling lies). I know nothing but good (about Aisha)." Of all the wives of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), it was
Zainab who aspired to receive from him the same favor as I used to receive, yet, Allah saved her
(from telling lies) because of her piety. But her sister, Hamna, kept on fighting on her behalf so she
was destroyed as were those who invented and spread the slander.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 272
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn Shihab about
a man who had a slave-girl as a wife, and then he bought her, and
divorced her once. He said, "She is halal for him by the possession of
the right hand as long as he does not make his divorce irrevocable. If
he irrevocably divorces her, she is not halal for him by the
possession of the right hand until she has married another husband."
Malik said that if a man rnarried a female slave and then she
had a child by him, and then he bought her, she was not an umm walad
for him because of the child born to him while she belonged to
another, until she had had a child by him while she was in his
possession after he had purchased her.
Malik said, "If he
buys her and she is pregnant by him and she then gives birth while she
belongs to him, she is his umm walad by that pregnancy, according to
what we think, and Allah knows best."
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 34
"I said to 'Ata': 'What is the best time you think I should pray Al-'Atamah, either in congregation or on my own?' He said: 'I heard Ibn 'Abbas say: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delayed Al-'Atamah one night until the people had slept and woken up, then slept and woken up again. Then 'Umar got up and said: 'The prayer, the prayer!'" 'Ata' said: 'Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out, and it is as if I can see him now, with water dripping from his head, putting his hand on the side of his head. .'" I checked with 'Ata' how the Prophet (ﷺ) put his hand on his head, and he showed me the same way as Ibn 'Abbas had done. 'Ata' spread his fingers a little, then placed them with the tips of his fingers on his forehead, then he drew his fingers together on his head until his thumb touched the edge of the ear that is next to the face, then moved it to his temple and forehead, then he said: 'Were it not that I would impose too much difficulty for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to offer this prayer only at this time.'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 6, Hadith 38
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out along with a group of his companions towards `Ukaz Market. At that time
something intervened between the devils and the news of the Heaven, and flames were sent down
upon them, so the devils returned. Their fellow-devils said, "What is wrong with you? " They said,
"Something has intervened between us and the news of the Heaven, and fires (flames) have been shot
at us." Their fellow-devils said, "Nothing has intervened between you and the news of the Heaven, but
an important event has happened. Therefore, travel all over the world, east and west, and try to find
out what has happened." And so they set out and travelled all over the world, east and west, looking
for that thing which intervened between them and the news of the Heaven. Those of the devils who
had set out towards Tihama, went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at Nakhla (a place between Mecca and Taif)
while he was on his way to `Ukaz Market. (They met him) while he was offering the Fajr prayer with
his companions. When they heard the Holy Qur'an being recited (by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)), they listened to
it and said (to each other). This is the thing which has intervened between you and the news of the
Heavens." Then they returned to their people and said, "O our people! We have really heard a
wonderful recital (Qur'an). It gives guidance to the right, and we have believed therein. We shall not
join in worship, anybody with our Lord." (See 72.1-2) Then Allah revealed to His Prophet (Surat al-
Jinn):
'Say: It has been revealed to me that a group (3 to 9) of Jinns listened (to the Qur'an).' (72.1) The
statement of the Jinns was revealed to him .
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 441
I went to Umm Habiba, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), when her father Abu Sufyan had died. Umm Habiba sent for a perfume having yellowness in it or something else like it, and she applied it to a girl and then rubbed it on her cheeks and then said: By Allah, I need no perfume but for the fact that I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say on the pulpit:" It is not permissible for a woman believing in Allah and the Hereafter to mourn for the dead beyond three days, but (in case of the death) of the husband it is permissible for four months and ten days." Zainab said: I then visited Zainab hint Jahsh (Allah be pleased with her) when her brother died and she sent for perfume and applied it and then said: By Allah, I don't feel any need for the perfume but that I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say on the pulpit:" It is not permissible for a woman believing in Allah and the Hereafbler to mourn the dead beyond three days except in case of her husband (for whom she can mourn) for four months and ten days." Zainab (Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard my mother Umm Salama (Allah be pleased with her) as saying: A woman came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger. I have a daughter whose husband has died and there has developed some trouble in her eye; should we apply collyrium to it? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: No (repeating it twice or thrice, saying only, NO" all the time). Then he said: It is only four mouths and ten days, whereas in the preIslamic period none of you threw away the dung until one year had passed. Humaid said: I said to Zainab: What is this throwing of dung until a year is passed? Zainab said: When the husband of a woman died, she went into a hut and put on her worst clothes, and did not apply perfume or something like it until a year was over. Then an animal like a donkey, or a goat, or a bird was brought to her and she rubbed her hand over it, and it so happened that one on which she rubbed her hand died. She then came out of her house and she was given dung and she threw it and then she made use of anything like perfume or something else as she liked.
Sahih Muslim Book 18, Hadith 73
Zaid bin Thabit said “I was beside the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) when the divinely-inspired calmness overtook him and the thigh of the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) fell on my thigh. I did not find any weightier than the thigh of the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ). He then regained his composure and said “Write down. I wrote on a shoulder. Not equal are thise believers who sit (at home), other than those who have a (disabling) hurt, and those who strive in the way of Allaah. When Ibn Umm Makhtum who was blind heard the excellence of the warriors. He stood up and said “Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) how is it for those believers who are unable to fight (in the path of Allaah)? When he finished his question his divinely-inspired calmness overtook him, and his thigh fell on my thigh and I found its weight the second time as I found the first time.” When the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) regained his composure, he said “Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) said “Other than those who have a (disabling hurt). Zaid said “Allaah, the exalted, revealed it alone and I appended it.” By Him in Whose hands is my life, I am seeing, as it were the place where I put it (i.e., the verse) at the crack in the shoulder.”
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 15, Hadith 31
Malik said, "I do not see that there is any harm in the Muslims
eating whatever food they come across in enemy territory before the
spoils are divided."
Malik said, "I think that any camels,
cattle and sheep (taken as booty) are considered as food which the
Muslims can eat in enemy territory. If they could not be eaten until
the people had gathered for the division and the spoils had been
distributed among them, that would be harmful for the army. I do not
see any objection to eating such things within acceptable limits. I do
not think, however, that anyone should store up any of it to take back
to his family."
Malik was asked whether it was proper for a
man who obtained food in enemy territory and ate some of it and made
provision so that there was some of it left over to keep and eat with
his family, or to sell before he had come to his country and make use
of its price. He said, "If he sells it while he is on a military
expedition, I think that he should put its price into the booty of the
Muslims. If he takes it back to his country, I see no objection to his
eating it and using it if it is a small insignificant thing."
Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 18
"While I was at the Ka'bah, in a state between sleep and wakefulness, three men came, and one of them who was in the middle came toward me. I was brought a basin of gold, filled with wisdom and faith, and he slit open from the throat to the lower abdomen, and washed the heart with Zamzam water, then - "it was filled with wisdom and faith. Then I was brought a riding-beast, smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey. I set off with Jibril, peace be upon him, and we came to the lowest heaven. It was said: 'Who is with you?' He said: 'Muhammad.' It was said: 'Has (revelation) been sent to him? Welcome to him, what an excellent visit his is.' I came to Adam, peace be upon him, and greeted him, and he said: 'Welcome to you! What an excellent son and Prophet.' Then we came to the second heaven and it was said: 'Who is this?' He said: 'Jibra'il.' of Hajar and its leaves were like the ears of elephants. At its base were four rivers: Two hidden rivers and two manifest rivers. I asked Jibril (About them) and he said: 'The two hidden ones are in paradise, and the two manifest ones are the Euphrates and the Nile.' Then fifty prayers were enjoined upon me. I came to Musa and he said: 'What happened?' I said: 'Fifty prayers have been enjoined upon me.' He said: 'I know more about the people than you. I tried hard with the Children of Israel. Your Ummah will never be able to bear that. Go back to your Lord and ask Him to reduce it for you.' So I went back to my Lord and asked Him to reduce it, and He made it forty. Then I went back to Musa, peace be upon him, and he said: 'What happened?' I said: 'He made it forty.' He said to me something similar to what he said the first time, so I went back to my Lord and He made it thirty. I came to Musa, peace be upon him, and told him, and he said to me something similar to what he said the first time, so I went back to my Lord and he made it twenty, then ten, then five. I came to Musa, peace be upon him, and he said to me something like he had said the first time, but I said: 'I feel too shy before my Lord to go back to Him.' Then it was called out: 'I have decreed (the reward for) My obligation, and I have reduced the burden for My slaves and I will give a ten-fold reward for each good deed.'"
It is like this here, while it is Jibra'il the first time it appears in this narration, and Jibra'il is often used in the Hadith literature.
Plural of Qullah
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 5, Hadith 1
I, al-Abbas, Fatimah and Zayd ibn Harithah gathered with the Prophet (ﷺ) and I said: Messenger of Allah, if you think to assign us our right (portion) in this fifth ( of the booty) as mentioned in the Book of Allah, and this I may divide during your lifetime so that no one may dispute me after you, then do it. He said: He did that. He said: I divided it during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). AbuBakr then assigned it to me. During the last days of the caliphate of Umar a good deal of property came to him and took out our portion. I said to him: We are well to do this year; but the Muslims are needy, so return it to them. He, therefore, returned it to them. No one called me after Umar. I met al-Abbas when I came out from Umar. He said: Ali, today you have deprived us of a thing that will never be returned to us. He was indeed a man of wisdom.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 20, Hadith 57
