I asked Anas about the Qunut (i.e. invocation in the prayer). Anas said, "It should be recited before
bowing." I said, "So-and-so claims that you say that it should be recited after bowing." He replied,
"He is mistaken." Then Anas narrated to us that the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked evil on the tribe of Bani-Sulaim
for one month after bowing. ' Anas Further said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) had sent 40 or 70 Qaris (i.e. men well
versed in the knowledge of the Quran) to some pagans, but the latter struggled with them and
martyred them, although there was a peace pact between them and the Prophet (ﷺ) I had never seen the
Prophet so sorry and worried about anybody as he was about them (i.e. the Qaris).

When Khaibar was conquered, a roasted poisoned sheep was presented to the Prophet (ﷺ) as a gift (by
the Jews). The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered, "Let all the Jews who have been here, be assembled before me." The
Jews were collected and the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to them), "I am going to ask you a question. Will you tell
the truth?" They said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Who is your father?" They replied, "So-and-so." He
said, "You have told a lie; your father is so-and-so." They said, "You are right." He said, "Will you
now tell me the truth, if I ask you about something?" They replied, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim; and if we
should tell a lie, you can realize our lie as you have done regarding our father." On that he asked,
"Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They said, "We shall remain in the (Hell) Fire for a short
period, and after that you will replace us." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You may be cursed and humiliated in it!
By Allah, we shall never replace you in it." Then he asked, "Will you now tell me the truth if I ask you
a question?" They said, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim." He asked, "Have you poisoned this sheep?" They
said, "Yes." He asked, "What made you do so?" They said, "We wanted to know if you were a liar in
which case we would get rid of you, and if you are a prophet then the poison would not harm you."
