Home Hadith Hadith 4448
The last Verse that was revealed was:
'They ask you for a legal verdict: Say: Allah directs (thus) about Al-Kalalah (those who leave no
descendants or ascendants as heirs).' And the last Sura which was revealed was Baraatun (9) .
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 176
← Previous Hadith
When the Verse:--'If there are twenty steadfast amongst you (Muslims), they will overcome twohundred
(non-Muslims).' was revealed, it became hard on the Muslims when it became compulsory
that one Muslim ought not to flee (in war) before ten (non-Muslims). So (Allah) lightened the order by
revealing:
'(But) now Allah has lightened your (task) for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are
of you one-hundred steadfast, they will overcome (two-hundred (non-Muslims).' (8.66) So when
Allah reduced the number of enemies which Muslims should withstand, their patience and
perseverance against the enemy decreased as much as their task was lightened for them.

Abu Huraira said, "During that Hajj (in which Abu Bakr was the chief of the pilgrims) Abu Bakr sent
me along with announcers on the Day of Nahr ( 10th of Dhul-Hijja) in Mina to announce: "No pagans
shall perform, Hajj after this year, and none shall perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba in a naked
state." Humaid bin `Abdur Rahman added: Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent `Ali bin Abi Talib (after Abu
Bakr) and ordered him to recite aloud in public Surat Bara'a. Abu Huraira added, "So `Ali, along with
us, recited Bara'a (loudly) before the people at Mina on the Day of Nahr and announced; "No pagan
shall perform Hajj after this year and none shall perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba in a naked
state."
