Home Hadith Hadith 5855
When Allah Apostle was in Ta'if (trying to conquer it), he said to his companions, "Tomorrow we will
return (to Medina), if Allah wills." Some of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We will not
leave till we conquer it." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Therefore, be ready to fight tomorrow." On the following
day, they (Muslims) fought fiercely (with the people of Ta'if) and suffered many wounds. Then
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Tomorrow we will return (to Medina), if Allah wills." His companions kept
quiet this time. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then smiled.

were sitting with him and they were asking him to give them more financial support while raising
their voices over the voice of the Prophet. When `Umar asked permission to enter, all of them hurried
to screen themselves the Prophet (ﷺ) admitted `Umar and he entered, while the Prophet (ﷺ) was smiling.
`Umar said, "May Allah always keep you smiling, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you !" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am astonished at these women who were with me. As soon
as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves." `Umar said, "You have more right, that
they should be afraid of you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" And then he (`Umar) turned towards them and said,
"O enemies of your souls! You are afraid of me and not of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The women replied,
"Yes, for you are sterner and harsher than Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab!
By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a way, he follows a way other
than yours!"
