Home Hadith Hadith 4012
We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) when he performed the `Umra. He performed the Tawaf and
we did the same; he offered the prayer and we also offered the prayer with him. Then he performed
the Sai between Safa and Marwa and we were guarding him against the people of Mecca so that
nobody should harm him.

"The people were along with the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day
of Al-Hudaibiya spreading in the shade of the trees. Suddenly the people surrounded the Prophet (ﷺ) and
started looking at him." `Umar said, "O `Abdullah! Go and see why the people are encircling Allah's
Apostle and looking at him." `Abdullah bin `Umar then saw the people giving the Pledge o allegiance
to the Prophet. So he also gave the Pledge of allegiance and returned to `Umar who went out in his
turn and gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet.'

When Sahl bin Hunaif returned from (the battle of) Siffin, we went to ask him (as to why he had come
back). He replied, "(You should not consider me a coward) but blame your opinions. I saw myself on
the day of Abu Jandal (inclined to fight), and if I had the power of refusing the order of Allah's
Apostle then, I would have refused it (and fought the infidels bravely). Allah and His Apostle know
(what is convenient) better. Whenever we put our swords on our shoulders for any matter that terrified
us, our swords led us to an easy agreeable solution before the present situation (of disagreement and
dispute between the Muslims). When we mend the breach in one side, it opened in another, and we do
not know what to do about it."
