That Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn `Abbas told him that Ibn `Abbas, `Abdur-Rahman bin Azhar and
Al-Miswar bin Makhrama sent him to `Aisha saying, "Pay her our greetings and ask her about our
offering of the two-rak`at after `Asr Prayer, and tell her that we have been informed that you offer
these two rak`at while we have heard that the Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden their offering." Ibn `Abbas said,
"I and `Umar used to beat the people for their offering them." Kuraib added, "I entered upon her and
delivered their message to her.' She said, 'Ask Um Salama.' So, I informed them (of `Aisha's answer)
and they sent me to Um Salama for the same purpose as they sent me to `Aisha. Um Salama replied, 'I
heard the Prophet (ﷺ) forbidding the offering of these two rak`at. Once the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the `Asr
prayer, and then came to me. And at that time some Ansari women from the Tribe of Banu Haram
were with me. Then (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) offered those two rak`at, and I sent my (lady) servant to him,
saying, 'Stand beside him and say (to him): Um Salama says, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Didn't I hear you
forbidding the offering of these two rak`at (after the `Asr prayer yet I see you offering them?' And if
he beckons to you with his hand, then wait behind.' So the lady slave did that and the Prophet (ﷺ)
beckoned her with his hand, and she stayed behind, and when the Prophet (ﷺ) finished his prayer, he said,
'O the daughter of Abu Umaiya (i.e. Um Salama), You were asking me about these two rak`at after the
`Asr prayer. In fact, some people from the tribe of `Abdul Qais came to me to embrace Islam and
busied me so much that I did not offer the two rak`at which were offered after Zuhr compulsory
prayer, and these two rak`at (you have seen me offering) make up for those."

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent some cavalry towards Najd and they brought a man from the tribe of Banu Hanifa
who was called Thumama bin Uthal. They fastened him to one of the pillars of the Mosque. The
Prophet went to him and said, "What have you got, O Thumama?" He replied," I have got a good
thought, O Muhammad! If you should kill me, you would kill a person who has already killed
somebody, and if you should set me free, you would do a favor to one who is grateful, and if you want
property, then ask me whatever wealth you want." He was left till the next day when the Prophet (ﷺ) said
to him, "What have you got, Thumama? He said, "What I told you, i.e. if you set me free, you would
do a favor to one who is grateful." The Prophet (ﷺ) left him till the day after, when he said, "What have
you got, O Thumama?" He said, "I have got what I told you. "On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Release
Thumama." So he (i.e. Thumama) went to a garden of date-palm trees near to the Mosque, took a bath
and then entered the Mosque and said, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped except
Allah, and also testify that Muhammad is His Apostle! By Allah, O Muhammad! There was no face
on the surface of the earth most disliked by me than yours, but now your face has become the most
beloved face to me. By Allah, there was no religion most disliked by me than yours, but now it is the
most beloved religion to me. By Allah, there was no town most disliked by me than your town, but
now it is the most beloved town to me. Your cavalry arrested me (at the time) when I was intending to
perform the `Umra. And now what do you think?" The Prophet (ﷺ) gave him good tidings (congratulated
him) and ordered him to perform the `Umra. So when he came to Mecca, someone said to him, "You
have become a Sabian?" Thumama replied, "No! By Allah, I have embraced Islam with Muhammad,
Apostle of Allah. No, by Allah! Not a single grain of wheat will come to you from Yamamah unless the
Prophet gives his permission."
