By Allah, there was no family on thesurface of the earth, I like to see in degradation more than I did your family, but today there is nofamily on the surface of the earth whom I like to see honored more than yours." Hind added, "AbuSufyan is a miser. Is it sinful of me to feed our children from his property?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Thereis no blame on you if you feed them (thereof) in a just and reasonable manner.

I said, "I have horses andslaves and I am living in prosperity and I wish that my payment shouldbe kept as a charitable gift for the Muslims." 'Umar said, "Do not doso, for I intended to do the same as you do. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s used togive me gifts and I used to say to him, 'Give it to a more needy onethan me.' Once he gave me some money and I said, 'Give it to a moreneedy person than me,' whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Take it and keepit in your possession and then give it in charity.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ ‏"‏ مَنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ عَلَى قَتِيلٍ قَتَلَهُ، فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُمْتُ لأَلْتَمِسَ بَيِّنَةً عَلَى قَتِيلٍ، فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا يَشْهَدُ لِي، فَجَلَسْتُ، ثُمَّ بَدَا لِي فَذَكَرْتُ أَمْرَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جُلَسَائِهِ سِلاَحُ هَذَا الْقَتِيلِ الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ عِنْدِي‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَرْضِهِ مِنْهُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ كَلاَّ لاَ يُعْطِهِ أُصَيْبِغَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَيَدَعَ أَسَدًا مِنْ أُسْدِ اللَّهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَدَّاهُ إِلَىَّ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْهُ خِرَافًا فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَالٍ تَأَثَّلْتُهُ‏.‏ قَالَ لِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَدَّاهُ إِلَىَّ‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَهْلُ الْحِجَازِ الْحَاكِمُ لاَ يَقْضِي بِعِلْمِهِ، شَهِدَ بِذَلِكَ فِي وِلاَيَتِهِ أَوْ قَبْلَهَا‏.‏ وَلَوْ أَقَرَّ خَصْمٌ عِنْدَهُ لآخَرَ بِحَقٍّ فِي مَجْلِسِ الْقَضَاءِ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَقْضِي عَلَيْهِ فِي قَوْلِ بَعْضِهِمْ، حَتَّى يَدْعُوَ بِشَاهِدَيْنِ فَيُحْضِرَهُمَا إِقْرَارَهُ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ مَا سَمِعَ أَوْ رَآهُ فِي مَجْلِسِ الْقَضَاءِ قَضَى بِهِ، وَمَا كَانَ فِي غَيْرِهِ لَمْ يَقْضِ إِلاَّ بِشَاهِدَيْنِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ بَلْ يَقْضِي بِهِ، لأَنَّهُ مُؤْتَمَنٌ، وَإِنَّمَا يُرَادُ مِنَ الشَّهَادَةِ مَعْرِفَةُ الْحَقِّ، فَعِلْمُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ الشَّهَادَةِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَقْضِي بِعِلْمِهِ فِي الأَمْوَالِ، وَلاَ يَقْضِي فِي غَيْرِهَا‏.‏ وَقَالَ الْقَاسِمُ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْحَاكِمِ أَنْ يُمْضِيَ قَضَاءً بِعِلْمِهِ دُونَ عِلْمِ غَيْرِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّ عِلْمَهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ شَهَادَةِ غَيْرِهِ، وَلَكِنَّ فِيهِ تَعَرُّضًا لِتُهَمَةِ نَفْسِهِ عِنْدَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَإِيقَاعًا لَهُمْ فِي الظُّنُونِ، وَقَدْ كَرِهَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الظَّنَّ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ صَفِيَّةُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Narrated Abu Qatada: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said on the Day of (the battle of) Hunain, "Whoever has killed an infidel and has aproof or a witness for it, then the salb (arms and belongings of that deceased) will be for him." I stoodup to seek a witness to testify that I had killed an infidel but I could not find any witness and then satdown. Then I thought that I should mention the case to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I (and when I did so) a manfrom those who were sitting with him said, "The arms of the killed person he has mentioned, are withme, so please satisfy him on my behalf." Abu Bakr said, "No, he will not give the arms to a bird ofQuraish and deprive one of Allah's lions of it who fights for the cause of Allah and His Apostle."Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I stood up and gave it to me, and I bought a garden with its price, and that was myfirst property which I owned through the war booty.The people of Hijaz said, "A judge should not pass a judgment according to his knowledge, whetherhe was a witness at the time he was the judge or before that" And if a litigant gives a confession infavor of his opponent in the court, in the opinion of some scholars, the judge should not pass ajudgment against him till the latter calls two witnesses to witness his confession. And some people ofIraq said, "A judge can pass a judgement according to what he hears or witnesses (the litigant'sconfession) in the court itself, but if the confession takes place outside the court, he should not passthe judgment unless two witnesses witness the confession." Some of them said, "A judge can pass ajudgement depending on his knowledge of the case as he is trust-worthy, and that a witness isRequired just to reveal the truth. The judge's knowledge is more than the witness." Some said, "Ajudge can judge according to his knowledge only in cases involving property, but in other cases hecannot." Al-Qasim said, "A judge ought not to pass a judgment depending on his knowledge if otherpeople do not know what he knows, although his knowledge is more than the witness of somebodyelse because he might expose himself to suspicion by the Muslims and cause the Muslims to haveunreasonable doubt. "

Narrated Abu Humaid Al-Sa`idi: The Prophet (ﷺ) appointed a man from the tribe of Bani Asad, called Ibn Al-Utabiyya to collect the Zakat.When he returned (with the money) he said (to the Prophet), "This is for you and this has been givento me as a gift." The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up on the pulpit (Sufyan said he ascended the pulpit), and afterglorifying and praising Allah, he said, "What is wrong with the employee whom we send (to collectZakat from the public) that he returns to say, 'This is for you and that is for me?' Why didn't he stay athis father's and mother's house to see whether he will be given gifts or not? By Him in Whose Handmy life is, whoever takes anything illegally will bring it on the Day of Resurrection by carrying it overhis neck: if it is a camel, it will be grunting: if it is a cow, it will be mooing: and if it is a sheep it willbe bleating!" The Prophet (ﷺ) then raised both his hands till we saw the whiteness of his armpits (and hesaid), "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message?" And he repeated it three times.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Saidi: There was some quarrel (sighting) among Bani `Amr, and when this news reached the Prophet, heoffered the Zuhr prayer and went to establish peace among them. In the meantime the time of `Asrprayer was due, Bilal pronounced the Adhan and then the Iqama for the prayer and requested AbuBakr (to lead the prayer) and Abu Bakr went forward. The Prophet (ﷺ) arrived while Abu Bakr was stillpraying. He entered the rows of praying people till he stood behind Abu Bakr in the (first) row. Thepeople started clapping, and it was the habit of Abu Bakr that whenever he stood for prayer, he neverglanced side-ways till he had finished it, but when Abu Bakr observed that the clapping was notcoming to an end, he looked and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing behind him.The Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned him to carry on by waving his hand. Abu Bakr stood there for a while, thankingAllah for the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) and then he retreated, taking his steps backwards. When theProphet saw that, he went ahead and led the people in prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said, "OAbu Bakr! What prevented you from carrying on with the prayer after I beckoned you to do so?" AbuBakr replied, "It does not befit the son of Abi Quhafa to lead the Prophet (ﷺ) in prayer." Then the Prophet (ﷺ)said to the people, "If some problem arises during prayers, then the men should say, Subhan Allah!;and the women should clap."

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: Abu Bakr sent for me owing to the large number of casualties in the battle of Al-Yamama, while`Umar was sitting with him. Abu Bakr said (to me), `Umar has come to my and said, 'A great numberof Qaris of the Holy Qur'an were killed on the day of the battle of Al-Yamama, and I am afraid thatthe casualties among the Qaris of the Qur'an may increase on other battle-fields whereby a large partof the Qur'an may be lost. Therefore I consider it advisable that you (Abu Bakr) should have theQur'an collected.' I said, 'How dare I do something which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not do?' `Umar said, ByAllah, it is something beneficial.' `Umar kept on pressing me for that till Allah opened my chest forthat for which He had opened the chest of `Umar and I had in that matter, the same opinion as `Umarhad." Abu Bakr then said to me (Zaid), "You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicionabout you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). So you should search forthe fragmentary scripts of the Qur'an and collect it (in one Book)." Zaid further said: By Allah, if AbuBakr had ordered me to shift a mountain among the mountains from one place to another it would nothave been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Qur'an. Then I said (to `Umar and AbuBakr), "How can you do something which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not do?" Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, it issomething beneficial." Zaid added: So he (Abu Bakr) kept on pressing me for that until Allah openedmy chest for that for which He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and `Umar, and I had in thatmatter, the same opinion as theirs.So I started compiling the Qur'an by collecting it from the leafless stalks of the date-palm tree andfrom the pieces of leather and hides and from the stones, and from the chests of men (who hadmemorized the Qur'an). I found the last verses of Sirat-at-Tauba: ("Verily there has come unto you anApostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves--' (9.128-129) ) from Khuza`ima or Abi Khuza`imaand I added to it the rest of the Sura. The manuscripts of the Qur'an remained with Abu Bakr till Allahtook him unto Him. Then it remained with `Umar till Allah took him unto Him, and then with Hafsabint `Umar.

Narrated Abu Laila bin `Abdullah bin `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl: Sahl bin Abi Hathma and some great men of his tribe said, `Abdullah bin 'Sahl and Muhaiyisa wentout to Khaibar as they were struck with poverty and difficult living conditions. Then Muhaiyisa wasinformed that `Abdullah had been killed and thrown in a pit or a spring. Muhaiyisa went to the Jewsand said, "By Allah, you have killed my companion." The Jews said, "By Allah, we have not killedhim." Muhaiyisa then came back to his people and told them the story. He, his elder brotherHuwaiyisa and `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl came (to the Prophet) and he who had been at Khaibar,proceeded to speak, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Muhaiyisa, "The eldest! The eldest!" meaning, "Let theeldest of you speak." So Huwaiyisa spoke first and then Muhaiyisa. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Jewsshould either pay the blood money of your (deceased) companion or be ready for war." After thatAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) wrote a letter to the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that they had not killed him.Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Huwaiyisa, Muhaiyisa and `Abdur-Rahman, "Can you take an oath bywhich you will be entitled to take the blood money?" They said, "No." He said (to them), "Shall weask the Jews to take an oath before you?" They replied, "But the Jews are not Muslims." So Allah'sApostle gave them one-hundred she-camels as blood money from himself. Sahl added: When thoseshe-camels were made to enter the house, one of them kicked me with its leg.

Narrated Abu Humaid As-Sa`idi: The Prophet (ﷺ) employed Ibn Al-Utbiyya to collect Zakat from Bani Sulaim, and when he returned (withthe money) to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the Prophet (ﷺ) called him to account, and he said, "This (amount) is foryou, and this was given to me as a present." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Why don't you stay at your father'shouse or your mother's house to see whether you will be given gifts or not, if you are telling thetruth?" Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up and addressed the people, and after glorifying and praisingAllah, he said: Amma Ba'du (then after) I employ some men from among you for some job whichAllah has placed in my charge, and then one of you comes to me and says, 'This (amount) is for youand this is a gift given to me.' Why doesn't he stay at the house of his father or the house of his motherand see whether he will be given gifts or not if he was telling the truth by Allah, none of you takesanything of it (i.e., Zakat) for himself (Hisham added: unlawfully) but he will meet Allah on the Dayof Resurrection carrying it on his neck! I do not want to see any of you carrying a grunting camel or amooing cow or a bleating sheep on meeting Allah." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) raised both his hands till I sawthe whiteness of his armpits, and said, "(No doubt)! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message!"

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah never sends a prophet or gives the Caliphate to a Caliph but that he (theprophet or the Caliph) has two groups of advisors: A group advising him to do good and exhorts himto do it, and the other group advising him to do evil and exhorts him to do it.

Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: The group of people whom `Umar had selected as candidates for the Caliphate gathered and consultedeach other. `Abdur-Rahman said to them, "I am not going to compete with you in this matter, but ifyou wish, I would select for you a caliph from among you."So all of them agreed to let `Abdur-Rahman decide the case. So when the candidates placed the casein the hands of `Abdur-Rahman, the people went towards him and nobody followed the rest of thegroup nor obeyed any after him. So the people followed `Abdur-Rahman and consulted him all thosenights till there came the night we gave the oath of allegiance to `Uthman. Al-Miswar (bin Makhrama)added: `Abdur-Rahman called on me after a portion of the night had passed and knocked on my doortill I got up, and he said to me, "I see you have been sleeping! By Allah, during the last three nights Ihave not slept enough. Go and call Az-Zubair and Sa`d.'So I called them for him and he consulted them and then called me saying, 'Call `Ali for me." I called`Ali and he held a private talk with him till very late at night, and then 'Al, got up to leave having hadmuch hope (to be chosen as a Caliph) but `Abdur-Rahman was afraid of something concerning `Ali.`Abdur-Rahman then said to me, "Call `Uthman for me." I called him and he kept on speaking to himprivately till the Mu'adh-dhin put an end to their talk by announcing the Adhan for the Fajr prayer.When the people finished their morning prayer and that (six men) group gathered near the pulpit,`Abdur-Rahman sent for all the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the Ansar present there and sent for thearmy chief who had performed the Hajj with `Umar that year. When all of them had gathered, `Abdur-Rahman said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah," and added, "Now then, O `Ali, I havelooked at the people's tendencies and noticed that they do not consider anybody equal to `Uthman, soyou should not incur blame (by disagreeing)." Then `Abdur-Rahman said (to `Uthman), "I gave theoath of allegiance to you on condition that you will follow Allah's Laws and the traditions of Allah'sApostle and the traditions of the two Caliphs after him." So `Abdur-Rahman gave the oath ofallegiance to him, and so did the people including the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the Ansar and thechiefs of the army staff and all the Muslims.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏ ثَلاَثَةٌ لاَ يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَلاَ يُزَكِّيهِمْ، وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ رَجُلٌ عَلَى فَضْلِ مَاءٍ بِالطَّرِيقِ يَمْنَعُ مِنْهُ ابْنَ السَّبِيلِ، وَرَجُلٌ بَايَعَ إِمَامًا لاَ يُبَايِعُهُ إِلاَّ لِدُنْيَاهُ، إِنْ أَعْطَاهُ مَا يُرِيدُ وَفَى لَهُ، وَإِلاَّ لَمْ يَفِ لَهُ، وَرَجُلٌ يُبَايِعُ رَجُلاً بِسِلْعَةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَحَلَفَ بِاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أُعْطِيَ بِهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا فَصَدَّقَهُ، فَأَخَذَهَا، وَلَمْ يُعْطَ بِهَا ‏‏‏.‏

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There will be three types of people whom Allah will neither speak to them onthe Day of Resurrection nor will purify them from sins, and they will have a painful punishment: Theyare, (1) a man possessed superfluous water (more than he needs) on a way and he withholds it fromthe travelers. (2) a man who gives a pledge of allegiance to an Imam (ruler) and gives it only forworldly benefits, if the Imam gives him what he wants, he abides by his pledge, otherwise he does notfulfill his pledge; (3) and a man who sells something to another man after the `Asr prayer and swearsby Allah (a false oath) that he has been offered so much for it whereupon the buyer believes him andbuys it although in fact, the seller has not been offered such a price."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ، يَقُولُ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَنَحْنُ فِي مَجْلِسٍ ‏ ‏ تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى أَنْ لاَ تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا، وَلاَ تَسْرِقُوا، وَلاَ تَزْنُوا، وَلاَ تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلاَدَكُمْ، وَلاَ تَأْتُوا بِبُهْتَانٍ تَفْتَرُونَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَرْجُلِكُمْ وَلاَ تَعْصُوا فِي مَعْرُوفٍ، فَمَنْ وَفَى مِنْكُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ، وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَعُوقِبَ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَهْوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَهُ، وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَسَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنْ شَاءَ عَاقَبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَفَا عَنْهُ ‏‏، فَبَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ‏.‏

Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us while we were in a gathering, "Give me the oath (Pledge of allegiance for:(1) Not to join anything in worship along with Allah, (2) Not to steal, (3) Not to commit illegal sexualintercourse, (4) Not to kill your children, (5) Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such anaccusation among people), (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deeds. The Prophet (ﷺ)added: Whoever amongst you fulfill his pledge, his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commitsany of those sins and receives the legal punishment in this world for that sin, then that punishment willbe an expiation for that sin, and whoever commits any of those sins and Allah does not expose him,then it is up to Allah if He wishes He will punish him or if He wishes, He will forgive him." So wegave the Pledge for that.

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُبَايِعُ النِّسَاءَ بِالْكَلاَمِ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ ‏{‏لاَ يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا‏}‏ قَالَتْ وَمَا مَسَّتْ يَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدَ امْرَأَةٍ، إِلاَّ امْرَأَةً يَمْلِكُهَا‏.‏

Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to take the Pledge of allegiance from the women by words only after reciting thisHoly Verse:--(60.12) "..that they will not associate anything in worship with Allah." (60.12) And thehand of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not touch any woman's hand except the hand of that woman his right handpossessed. (i.e. his captives or his lady slaves).

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ بَايَعْنَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَرَأَ عَلَىَّ ‏{‏أَنْ لاَ يُشْرِكْنَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا‏}‏ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ النِّيَاحَةِ، فَقَبَضَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَّا يَدَهَا فَقَالَتْ فُلاَنَةُ أَسْعَدَتْنِي وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَجْزِيَهَا، فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ رَجَعَتْ، فَمَا وَفَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلاَّ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ وَأُمُّ الْعَلاَءِ، وَابْنَةُ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ امْرَأَةُ مُعَاذٍ أَوِ ابْنَةُ أَبِي سَبْرَةَ وَامْرَأَةُ مُعَاذٍ‏.‏

Narrated Um Atiyya: We gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he recited to me the verse (60.12). That they willnot associate anything in worship with Allah (60.12). And he also prevented us from wailing andlamenting over the dead. A woman from us held her hand out and said, "Such-and-such a womancried over a dead person belonging to my family and I want to compensate her for that crying" TheProphet did not say anything in reply and she left and returned. None of those women abided by herpledge except Um Sulaim, Um Al-`Ala', and the daughter of Abi Sabra, the wife of Al-Mu`adh or thedaughter of Abi Sabra, and the wife of Mu`adh.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا، قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ بَايِعْنِي عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ‏.‏ فَبَايَعَهُ عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْغَدَ مَحْمُومًا فَقَالَ أَقِلْنِي‏.‏ فَأَبَى، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ ‏ ‏ الْمَدِينَةُ كَالْكِيرِ، تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا، وَيَنْصَعُ طِيبُهَا ‏‏‏.‏

Narrated Jabir: A bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "Please take my Pledge of allegiance for Islam." So theProphet took from him the Pledge of allegiance for Islam. He came the next day with a fever and saidto the Prophet (ﷺ) "Cancel my pledge." But the Prophet (ﷺ) refused and when the bedouin went away, theProphet said, "Medina is like a pair of bellows (furnace): It expels its impurities and brightens andclears its good."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ وَارَأْسَاهْ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ ذَاكِ لَوْ كَانَ وَأَنَا حَىٌّ فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكِ وَأَدْعُو لَكِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَاثُكْلِيَاهْ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَظُنُّكَ تُحِبُّ مَوْتِي وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَاكَ لَظَلِلْتَ آخِرَ يَوْمِكَ مُعَرِّسًا بِبَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِكَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ بَلْ أَنَا وَارَأْسَاهْ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ ـ أَوْ أَرَدْتُ ـ أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَابْنِهِ فَأَعْهَدَ أَنْ يَقُولَ الْقَائِلُونَ أَوْ يَتَمَنَّى الْمُتَمَنُّونَ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ يَأْبَى اللَّهُ وَيَدْفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ، أَوْ يَدْفَعُ اللَّهُ وَيَأْبَى الْمُؤْمِنُونَ‏.‏

Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad: `Aisha said, "O my head!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If that (i.e., your death) should happen while I amstill alive, I would ask Allah to forgive you and would invoke Allah for you." `Aisha said, "O my lifewhich is going to be lost! By Allah, I think that you wish for my death, and if that should happen thenyou would be busy enjoying the company of one of your wives in the last part of that day." TheProphet said, "But I should say, 'O my head!' I feel like calling Abu Bakr and his son and appoint (theformer as my successors lest people should say something or wish for something. Allah will insist (onAbu Bakr becoming a Caliph) and the believers will prevent (anyone else from claiming theCaliphate)," or "..Allah will prevent (anyone else from claiming the Caliphate) and the believers willinsist (on Abu Bakr becoming the Caliph).

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قِيلَ لِعُمَرَ أَلاَ تَسْتَخْلِفُ قَالَ إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ فَقَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَإِنْ أَتْرُكْ فَقَدْ تَرَكَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَاغِبٌ رَاهِبٌ، وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي نَجَوْتُ مِنْهَا كَفَافًا لاَ لِي وَلاَ عَلَىَّ لاَ أَتَحَمَّلُهَا حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًا‏.‏

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: It was said to `Umar, "Will you appoint your successor?" `Umar said, "If I appoint a Caliph (as mysuccessor) it is true that somebody who was better than I (i.e., Abu Bakr) did so, and if I leave thematter undecided, it is true that somebody who was better than I (i.e., Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) did so." Onthis, the people praised him. `Umar said, "People are of two kinds: Either one who is keen to take overthe Caliphate or one who is afraid of assuming such a responsibility. I wish I could be free from itsresponsibility in that I would receive neither reward nor retribution I won't bear the burden of thecaliphate in my death as I do in my life."

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ خُطْبَةَ، عُمَرَ الآخِرَةَ حِينَ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، وَذَلِكَ الْغَدُ مِنْ يَوْمٍ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَتَشَهَّدَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ صَامِتٌ لاَ يَتَكَلَّمُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى يَدْبُرَنَا ـ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ آخِرَهُمْ ـ فَإِنْ يَكُ مُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ مَاتَ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدْ جَعَلَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ نُورًا تَهْتَدُونَ بِهِ بِمَا هَدَى اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدًا صلى الله عليه وسلم وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَانِي اثْنَيْنِ، فَإِنَّهُ أَوْلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِأُمُورِكُمْ، فَقُومُوا فَبَايِعُوهُ‏.‏ وَكَانَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ بَايَعُوهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ، وَكَانَتْ بَيْعَةُ الْعَامَّةِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ‏.‏ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ اصْعَدِ الْمِنْبَرَ‏.‏ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ، فَبَايَعَهُ النَّاسُ عَامَّةً‏.‏

Narrated Anas bin Malik: That he heard `Umar's second speech he delivered when he sat on the pulpit on the day following thedeath of the Prophet (ﷺ) `Umar recited the Tashahhud while Abu Bakr was silent. `Umar said, "I wish thatAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) had outlived all of us, i.e., had been the last (to die). But if Muhammad is dead, Allahnevertheless has kept the light amongst you from which you can receive the same guidance as Allahguided Muhammad with that. And Abu Bakr is the companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) He is the second ofthe two in the cave. He is the most entitled person among the Muslims to manage your affairs.Therefore get up and swear allegiance to him." Some people had already taken the oath of allegianceto him in the shed of Bani Sa`ida but the oath of allegiance taken by the public was taken at the pulpit.I heard `Umar saying to Abu Bakr on that day. "Please ascend the pulpit," and kept on urging him tillhe ascended the pulpit whereupon, all the people swore allegiance to him.
