Once we were traveling with the Prophet (ﷺ) and we carried on traveling till the last part of the night and
then we (halted at a place) and slept (deeply). There is nothing sweeter than sleep for a traveler in the
last part of the night. So it was only the heat of the sun that made us to wake up and the first to wake
up was so and so, then so and so and then so and so (the narrator `Auf said that Abu Raja' had told
him their names but he had forgotten them) and the fourth person to wake up was `Umar bin Al-
Khattab. And whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) used to sleep, nobody would wake up him till he himself used to
get up as we did not know what was happening (being revealed) to him in his sleep. So, `Umar got up
and saw the condition of the people, and he was a strict man, so he said, "Allahu Akbar" and raised his
voice with Takbir, and kept on saying loudly till the Prophet (ﷺ) got up because of it. When he got up, the
people informed him about what had happened to them. He said, "There is no harm (or it will not be
harmful). Depart!" So they departed from that place, and after covering some distance the Prophet (ﷺ)
stopped and asked for some water to perform the ablution. So he performed the ablution and the call
for the prayer was pronounced and he led the people in prayer. After he finished from the prayer, he
saw a man sitting aloof who had not prayed with the people. He asked, "O so and so! What has
prevented you from praying with us?" He replied, "I am Junub and there is no water. " The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Perform Tayammum with (clean) earth and that is sufficient for you."
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded on and the people complained to him of thirst. Thereupon he got down
and called a person (the narrator `Auf added that Abu Raja' had named him but he had forgotten) and
`Ali, and ordered them to go and bring water. So they went in search of water and met a woman who
was sitting on her camel between two bags of water. They asked, "Where can we find water?" She
replied, "I was there (at the place of water) this hour yesterday and my people are behind me." They
requested her to accompany them. She asked, "Where?" They said, "To Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." She said,
"Do you mean the man who is called the Sabi, (with a new religion)?" They replied, "Yes, the same
person. So come along." They brought her to the Prophet (ﷺ) and narrated the whole story. He said, "Help
her to dismount." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for a pot, then he opened the mouths of the bags and poured
some water into the pot. Then he closed the big openings of the bags and opened the small ones and
the people were called upon to drink and water their animals.
So they all watered their animals and they (too) all quenched their thirst and also gave water to others
and last of all the Prophet (ﷺ) gave a pot full of water to the person who was Junub and told him to pour it
over his body. The woman was standing and watching all that which they were doing with her water.
By Allah, when her water bags were returned the looked like as if they were more full (of water) than
they had been before (Miracle of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to collect something
for her; so dates, flour and Sawiq were collected which amounted to a good meal that was put in a
piece of cloth. She was helped to ride on her camel and that cloth full of foodstuff was also placed in
front of her and then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "We have not taken your water but Allah has given water
to us." She returned home late. Her relatives asked her: "O so and so what has delayed you?" She said,
"A strange thing! Two men met me and took me to the man who is called the Sabi' and he did such
and such a thing. By Allah, he is either the greatest magician between this and this (gesturing with her
index and middle fingers raising them towards the sky indicating the heaven and the earth) or he is
Allah's true Apostle."
Afterwards the Muslims used to attack the pagans around her abode but never touched her village.
One day she said to her people, "I think that these people leave you purposely. Have you got any
inclination to Islam?" They obeyed her and all of them embraced Islam.
Abu `Abdullah said: The word Saba'a means "The one who has deserted his old religion and embraced
a new religion." Abul 'Ailya said, "The S`Abis are a sect of people of the Scripture who recite the
Book of Psalms."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 7, Hadith 11
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual
intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing it; and if
he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he
drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at the time of
drinking it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder,"
'Ikrima said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith taken away from him?"
He said, Like this," by clasping his hands and then separating them,
and added, "But if he repents, faith returns to him like this, by
clasping his hands again.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 86, Hadith 38
"It was said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what equals Jihad?' He said: 'Verily, you (people) are not capable of it.' So they repeated it to him two or three times, each time he said, 'You (people) are not capable of it.' Then he said the third time: 'The example of the Mujahid in the path of Allah is like the one who fasts and stands (in prayer) and does not slacken from Salat, nor fasting, until the Mujahid in the cause of Allah returns.'"
There are narrations on this topic from Ash-Shifa', 'Abdullah bin Hubshi, Abu Musa', Abu Sa'eed, Umm Malik Al-Bahziyyah, and Anas.
This Hadith is a Hasan Sahih. And it has been reported through more than one route from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (ﷺ).
