While I was sitting with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) two person came to him; one of them complained
about his poverty and the other complained about the prevalence of robberies. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"As regards stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a caravan will go to Mecca
(from Medina) without any guard. And regarding poverty, The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be
established till one of you wanders about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept
it And (no doubt) each one of you will stand in front of Allah and there will be neither a curtain nor an
interpreter between him and Allah, and Allah will ask him, 'Did not I give you wealth?' He will reply
in the affirmative. Allah will further ask, 'Didn't send a messenger to you?' And again that person will
reply in the affirmative Then he will look to his right and he will see nothing but Hell-fire, and then he
will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire. And so, any (each one) of you should save
himself from the fire even by giving half of a date-fruit (in charity). And if you do not find a hall datefruit,
then (you can do it through saying) a good pleasant word (to your brethren). (See Hadith No.
793 Vol. 4).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 17
from his father who said: "I did not remain behind from any of the battles the Prophet (ﷺ) fought in, until the battle of Tabuk, except for Badr. And the Prophet (ﷺ) did not scold anyone who remained behind from Badr, because he only went out to look for the caravan. The Quraish came out to help their caravan, so they met without an appointment as Allah the Mighty and Sublime, said. By my life, people consider the most honorable of battles of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to be that of Badr, but I would not have liked to attend it instead of my oath of allegiance on the night of Al-'Aqabah when we took a covenant for Islam. Afterwards, I did not stay behind from the Prophet (ﷺ) until the battle of Tabuk, and it was the last of the battles he fought. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) informed the people of the departure" - and he mentioned the Hadith in its entirety, and said - "So I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he was sitting in the Masjid, surrounded by the Muslims. He was beaming like the moon beams. When he was happy about a matter he would beam. So I came and said in front of him. He said: 'Receive glad tidings - O Ka'b bin Malik - of the best day you have seen since your mother bore you!' So I said: 'O Prophet of Allah! Is it from Allah or from you?' He said: 'From Allah.' Then he recited these Ayat: Allah has forgiven the Prophet, the Muhajirin, and the Ansar who followed him in the time of distress, after the hearts of a party of them had nearly deviated, but He accepted their repentance. Certainly, He is unto them full of Kindness, Most Merciful (9:117). He said: "And it was about us that (the following) was revealed as well: Have Taqwa of Allah, and be with those who are true (9:119)." He said: "O Prophet of Allah! Part of my repentance is to not say but the truth, and give up all of my wealth as charity for Allah and His Messenger.' So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Keep some of your wealth for yourself, for indeed that is better for you.' I said: 'So I will keep my share from Al-Khaibar.'" He said: "So after my acceptance of Islam, Allah did not grant me a greater favor than when I and my two companions told the truth to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we were not among the liars to be ruined like the others were ruined. Indeed I hope that Allah will not test anyone over telling the truth as he tested me. I did not resort to a lie ever since then, and I hope that Allah will protect me regarding what remains to come."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 154
Musailima Al-Kadhdhab came during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) and started saying, "If Muhammad
gives me the rule after him, I will follow him." And he came to Medina with a great number of the
people of his tribe. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to him in the company of Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas, and
at that time, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had a stick of a date-palm tree in his hand. When he (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) )
stopped near Musailima while the latter was amidst his companions, he said to him, "If you ask me for
this piece (of stick), I will not give it to you, and Allah's Order you cannot avoid, (but you will be
destroyed), and if you turn your back from this religion, then Allah will destroy you. And I think you
are the same person who was shown to me in my dream, and this is Thabit bin Qais who will answer
your questions on my behalf." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) went away from him. I asked about the statement of
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) : "You seem to be the same person who was shown to me in my dream," and Abu
Huraira informed me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When I was sleeping, I saw (in a dream) two bangles
of gold on my hands and that worried me. And then I was inspired Divinely in the dream that I should
blow on them, so I blew on them and both the bangles flew away. And I interpreted it that two liars
(who would claim to be prophets) would appear after me. One of them has proved to be Al Ansi and
the other, Musailima."
