Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up on the day of the Conquest of Mecca and said, "Allah has made Mecca a
sanctuary since the day He created the Heavens and the Earth, and it will remain a sanctuary by virtue
of the sanctity Allah has bestowed on it till the Day of Resurrection. It (i.e. fighting in it) was not
made lawful to anyone before me!, nor will it be made lawful to anyone after me, and it was not made
lawful for me except for a short period of time. Its game should not be chased, nor should its trees be
cut, nor its vegetation or grass uprooted, not its Luqata (i.e. Most things) picked up except by one who
makes a public announcement about it." Al-Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib said, "Except the Idhkhir, O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), as it is indispensable for blacksmiths and houses." On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet and
then said, "Except the Idhkhir as it is lawful to cut."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 344
Abu Talha was the richest man in Medina amongst the Ansar and Beeruha' (garden) was the most
beloved of his property, and it was situated opposite the mosque (of the Prophet.). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
used to enter it and drink from its sweet water. When the following Divine Verse were revealed: 'you
will not attain righteousness till you spend in charity of the things you love' (3.92), Abu Talha got up
in front of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah says in His Book, 'You will not attain
righteousness unless you spend (in charity) that which you love,' and verily, the most beloved to me of
my property is Beeruha (garden), so I give it in charity and hope for its reward from Allah. O Allah's
Apostle! Spend it wherever you like." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) appreciated that and said, "That is perishable
wealth, that is perishable wealth. I have heard what you have said; I suggest you to distribute it among
your relatives." Abu Talha said, "I will do so, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." So, Abu Talha distributed it among
his relatives and cousins. The sub-narrator (Malik) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "That is a profitable
wealth," instead of "perishable wealth".
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 40, Hadith 17
My uncle Anas bin An-Nadr was absent from the Battle of Badr. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I was
absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. (By Allah) if Allah gives me a chance to
fight the pagans, no doubt. Allah will see how (bravely) I will fight." On the day of Uhud when the
Muslims turned their backs and fled, he said, "O Allah! I apologize to You for what these (i.e. his
companions) have done, and I denounce what these (i.e. the pagans) have done." Then he advanced
and Sa`d bin Mu`adh met him. He said "O Sa`d bin Mu`adh ! By the Lord of An-Nadr, Paradise! I am
smelling its aroma coming from before (the mountain of) Uhud," Later on Sa`d said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I cannot achieve or do what he (i.e. Anas bin An-Nadr) did. We found more than eighty
wounds by swords and arrows on his body. We found him dead and his body was mutilated so badly
that none except his sister could recognize him by his fingers." We used to think that the following
Verse was revealed concerning him and other men of his sort: "Among the believers are men who
have been true to their covenant with Allah.........." (33.23)
His sister Ar-Rubbaya' broke a front tooth of a woman and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered for retaliation. On
that Anas (bin An-Nadr) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, my
sister's tooth shall not be broken." Then the opponents of Anas's sister accepted the compensation and
gave up the claim of retaliation. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There are some people amongst Allah's
slaves whose oaths are fulfilled by Allah when they take them."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 22
I was with Sa'id b. Jubair when he said: Who amongst you saw a star shooting last night? I said: It was I; then I said: I was in fact not (busy) in prayer, but was stung by a scorpion (and that is the reason why I was awake and had a glimpse of the shooting star). He said: Then what did you do? I said: I practised charm. He said: What urged you to do this? I said: (I did this according to the implied suggestion) of the hadith which al-Shu'ba narrated. He said: What did al-Shu'ba narrate to you? I said: Buraida b. Husaib al-Aslami narrated to us. The charm is of no avail except in case of the (evil influence) of an eye or the sting of a scorpion. He said: He who acted according to what he had heard (from the Holy Prophet) acted rightly, but Ibn 'Abbas narrated to us from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that he said: There were brought before me the peoples and I saw an apostle and a small group (of his followers) along with him, another (apostle) and one or two persons (along with him) and (still another) apostle having no one with him. When a very large group was brought to me I conceived as if it were my Ummah. Then it was said to me: It is Moses and his people. You should look at the horizon, and I saw a very huge group. It was again said to me: See the other side of the horizon, and there was (also) a very huge group. It was said to me: This is your Ummah, and amongst them there were seventy thousand persons who would be made to enter Paradise without rendering any account and without (suffering) any torment. He then stood up and went to his house. Then the people began to talk about the people who would be admitted to Paradise without rendering any account and without (suffering) any torment. Some of them said: They may be those who (have had the good fortune of living) in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and some of them said: They be those who were born in Islam and did not associate anything with Allah. Some people mentioned other things. Thereupon came forth the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) before them and he said: What was that which you were talking about? They informed him. He said: They are those persons who neither practise charm, nor ask others to practise it, nor do they take omens, and repose their trust in their Lord. Upon this 'Ukkasha b. Mihsan stood up and said: Supplicate for me that He should make me one among them. Upon this he (Messenger of Allah) said: Thou are one among them. Then another man stood up and said: Supplicate before Allah that He should make me one among them. Upon this he said: 'Ukkisha has preceded you.
