Hadith 2712

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مَرْوَانَ ، وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، يُخْبِرَانِ عَنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا كَاتَبَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو يَوْمَئِذٍ كَانَ فِيمَا اشْتَرَطَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِيكَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَى دِينِكَ إِلَّا رَدَدْتَهُ إِلَيْنَا ، وَخَلَّيْتَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُ ، فَكَرِهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ذَلِكَ وَامْتَعَضُوا مِنْهُ ، وَأَبَى سُهَيْلٌ إِلَّا ذَلِكَ ، فَكَاتَبَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ، فَرَدَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَبَا جَنْدَلٍ إِلَى أَبِيهِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ إِلَّا رَدَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْمُدَّةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا ، وَجَاءَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ ، وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ مِمَّنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَهِيَ عَاتِقٌ ، فَجَاءَ أَهْلُهَا يَسْأَلُونَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَهَا إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْهَا إِلَيْهِمْ لِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِنَّ إِذَا جَاءَكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ مُهَاجِرَاتٍ فَامْتَحِنُوهُنَّ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِيمَانِهِنَّ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَلا هُمْ يَحِلُّونَ لَهُنَّ سورة الممتحنة آية 10 .
Narrated Marwan and al-Miswar bin Makhrama: (from the companions of Allah's Apostle) When Suhail bin `Amr agreed to the Treaty (of Hudaibiya), one of the things he stipulated then, was that the Prophet should return to them (i.e. the pagans) anyone coming to him from their side, even if he was a Muslim; and would not interfere between them and that person. The Muslims did not like this condition and got disgusted with it. Suhail did not agree except with that condition. So, the Prophet agreed to that condition and returned Abu Jandal to his father Suhail bin `Amr. Thenceforward the Prophet returned everyone in that period (of truce) even if he was a Muslim. During that period some believing women emigrants including Um Kulthum bint `Uqba bin Abu Muait who came to Allah's Apostle and she was a young lady then. Her relative came to the Prophet and asked him to return her, but the Prophet did not return her to them for Allah had revealed the following Verse regarding women: "O you who believe! When the believing women come to you as emigrants. Examine them, Allah knows best as to their belief, then if you know them for true believers, Send them not back to the unbelievers, (for) they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers, Nor are the unbelievers lawful (husbands) for them (60.10)

Explanation & Benefits

Benefit:

The time for «عَشِي» lasts from immediately after the sun passes its zenith (zawal) until sunset (maghrib). Qasim bin Muhammad rahimahullah, the grandson of Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu and the jurist of Madinah, by this statement intends to refute those who habitually perform the Zuhr prayer immediately after zawal. Even the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would perform Zuhr only after spending some time following the sun’s decline. Ibn Mas’ud radi Allahu anhu states:

«كَانَتْ قَدْرُ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الصَّيْفِ ثَلاثَةَ أَقْدَامِ إِلى خَمْسَةِ أَقْدَامٍ وَفِي الشَّتَاءِ خَمْسَةَ أَقْدَامٍ إِلى سَبْعَةِ أَقْدَامٍ»

“The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would perform the Zuhr prayer in summer when the shadow (after the sun’s decline) would reach three to five steps, and in winter when it would reach five to seven steps.”

[ابوداود: 400، نسائي: 504، اس كي سند صحيح هے]

Statement regarding the time of Jumu‘ah

Benefit:

Since Jumu‘ah is a substitute for the Zuhr prayer, its time is exactly the same as Zuhr, that is, from the sun’s decline (zawal) until the shadow becomes equal to the object’s length. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the Rightly Guided Caliphs radi Allahu anhum would perform Jumu‘ah at the earliest time. The noble Companions radi Allahu anhum were so eager and diligent in preparing for and hastening to attend Jumu‘ah that they would even delay their midday meal and siesta (qaylulah) until after Jumu‘ah.

[صحيح بخاري: 939، صحيح مسلم: 859]

Anas radi Allahu anhu says that the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would perform Jumu‘ah when the sun had declined. [صحيح بخاري: 904] Salamah bin Akwa‘ radi Allahu anhu says that we would perform Jumu‘ah with the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when the sun had declined. [صحيح مسلم: 860]
