Subay' ibn Khalid said: I came to Kufah at the time when Tustar was conquered. I took some mules from it. When I entered the mosque (of Kufah), I found there some people of moderate stature, and among them was a man whom you could recognize when you saw him that he was from the people of Hijaz.
I asked: Who is he? The people frowned at me and said: Do you not recognize him? This is Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, the companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
Then Hudhayfah said: People used to ask the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about good, and I used to ask him about evil. Then the people stared hard at him.
He said: I know the reason why you dislike it. I then asked: Messenger of Allah, will there be evil as there was before, after this good which Allah has bestowed on us?
He replied: Yes. I asked: Wherein does the protection from it lie? He replied: In the sword. I asked: Messenger of Allah, what will then happen?
He replied: If Allah has on Earth a caliph who flays your back and takes your property, obey him, otherwise die holding onto the stump of a tree.
I asked: What will come next? He replied: Then the Antichrist (Dajjal) will come forth accompanied by a river and fire. He who falls into his fire will certainly receive his reward, and have his load taken off him, but he who falls into his river will have his load retained and his reward taken off him.
I then asked: What will come next? He said: The Last Hour will come.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 37, Hadith 5
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that A'isha, umm al-muminin said, "When the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to Madina, Abu Bakr and
Bilal came down with a fever. I visited them and said, 'Father, how
are you? Bilal, how are you?'" She continued, "When Abu Bakr's fever
worsened he would say, 'Every man is struck down among his people in
the morning - death is nearer than the strap of his sandal.'"
When it left Bilal, he raised his voice and said, 'Would that I knew
whether I will spend a night at the valley of Makka with the idhkhir
herb and jalil herb around me. Will I go one day to the waters of
Majinna? Will the mountains of Shama and Tafil appear to me?' " '
A'isha continued, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and informed him. He said, 'O Allah!
Make us love Madina as much as we love Makka or even more. Make it
sound and bless us in our sa and mudd. Remove its fever and put it in
al-Juhfa.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 45, Hadith 14
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was traveling on one of his journeys, and `Umar bin Al-Khattab was traveling along
with him at night. `Umar asked him about something, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not answer him. He
asked again, but he did not answer. He asked for the third time, but he did not answer. On that, `Umar
said to himself, "May your mother lose you! You have asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) three times, but he did
not answer at all!" `Umar said, "So I made my camel go fast till I was ahead of the people, and I was
afraid that something might be revealed about me. After a little while I heard a call maker calling me,
I said, 'I was afraid that some Quranic Verse might be revealed about me.' So I went to Allah's
Apostle and greeted him. He said, 'Tonight there has been revealed to me a Surah which is dearer to
me than that on which the sun shines (i.e. the world).' Then he recited: 'Verily! We have given you (O
Muhammad), a manifest victory.' " (Surat al-Fath) No. (48.1).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 66, Hadith 34
There was a relation of love and brotherhood between this tribe of Jarm and Al-Ash`ariyin. Once we
were with Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari, and then a meal containing chicken was brought to Abu Musa, and
there was present, a man from the tribe of Taimillah who was of red complexion as if he were from
non-Arab freed slaves. Abu Musa invited him to the meal. He said, "I have seen chickens eating dirty
things, so I deemed it filthy and took an oath that I would never eat chicken." On that, Abu Musa said,
"Get up, I will narrate to you about that. Once a group of the Ash`ariyin and I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
and asked him to provide us with mounts; he said, 'By Allah, I will never give you any mounts nor do
I have anything to mount you on.' Then a few camels of war booty were brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ,
and he asked about us, saying, 'Where are the Ash-'ariyin?' He then ordered five nice camels to be
given to us, and when we had departed, we said, 'What have we done? Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had taken the
oath not to give us any mounts, and that he had nothing to mount us on, and later he gave us that we
might ride? Did we take advantage of the fact that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had forgotten his oath? By Allah,
we will never succeed.' So we went back to him and said to him, 'We came to you to give us mounts,
and you took an oath that you would not give us any mounts and that you had nothing to mount us on.'
On that he said, 'I did not provide you with mounts, but Allah did. By Allah, if I take an oath to do
something, and then find something else better than it, I do that which is better and make expiation for
the dissolution of the oath.' "
