Home Hadith Hadith 3753
I heard that Ibn `Umar used to become angry if someone mentioned that he had migrated before his
father (`Umar), and he used to say, " `Umar and I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and found him having his
midday rest, so we returned home. Then `Umar sent me again (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) and said, 'Go and see
whether he is awake.' I went to him and entered his place and gave him the pledge of allegiance. Then
I went back to `Umar and informed him that the Prophet (ﷺ) was awake. So we both went, running
slowly, and when `Umar entered his place, he gave him the pledge of allegiance and thereafter I too
gave him the pledge of allegiance."

`Abdullah bin `Umar said to me, "Do you know what my father said to your father once?" I said,
"No." He said, "My father said to your father, 'O Abu Musa, will it please you that we will be
rewarded for our conversion to Islam with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and our migration with him, and our Jihad
with him and all our good deeds which we did, with him, and that all the deeds we did after his death
will be disregarded whether good or bad?' Your father (i.e. Abu Musa) said, 'No, by Allah, we took
part in Jihad after Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , prayed and did plenty of good deeds, and many people have
embraced Islam at our hands, and no doubt, we expect rewards from Allah for these good deeds.' On
that my father (i.e. `Umar) said, 'As for myself, By Him in Whose Hand `Umar's soul is, I wish that
the deeds done by us at the time of the Prophet (ﷺ) remain rewardable while whatsoever we did after the
death of the Prophet (ﷺ) be enough to save us from Punishment in that the good deeds compensate for the
bad ones.' " On that I said (to Ibn `Umar), "By Allah, your father was better than my father!"

Abu Bakr bought a (camel's) saddle from `Azib, and I carried it for him. `Azib (i.e. my father) asked
Abu Bakr regarding the journey of the migration of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Abu Bakr said, "Close observers
were appointed by our enemies to watch us. So we went out at night and travelled throughout the
night and the following day till it was noon, then we perceived a rock and went towards it, and there
was some shade under it. I spread a cloak I had with me for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and then the Prophet (ﷺ) layed
on it. I went out to guard him and all of a sudden I saw a shepherd coming with his sheep looking for
the same, the shade of the rock as we did, I asked him, 'O boy, to whom do you belong?' He replied, 'I
belong to so-and-so.' I asked him, 'Is there some milk in your sheep?' He replied in the affirmative. I
asked him, 'Will you milk?' He replied in the affirmative. Then he got hold of one of his sheep. I said
to him, 'Remove the dust from its udder.' Then he milked a little milk. I had a water-skin with me
which was tied with a piece of cloth. I had prepared the water-skin for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . So I poured
some water over the milk (container) till its bottom became cold. Then I brought the milk to the
Prophet and said, 'Drink, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) drank till I became pleased. Then we
departed and the pursuers were following us."
