Surah al-Hashr

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "There was a monk who used to worship in seclusion in his hermitage. There was a woman who had several brothers; she was afflicted by some mental disorder or fit of madness, so her brothers brought her to that monk (for treatment or ruqyah). Then Satan made the woman's beauty appear so adorned and attractive in the monk's eyes that he fell into her temptation and committed the evil act with her, as a result of which the woman became pregnant. Then Satan came to him and, misleading him, said: 'Kill this woman, for if her brothers learn of this deed of yours, you will be utterly disgraced.' So he killed her and buried her in the ground. Then her brothers came (to ask after her), and when the truth came out they seized him and set off with him. While they were taking him away, Satan came to him again and said: 'I am the one who made this sin attractive to you; now just make one prostration to me and I will rescue you from this calamity.' So he (in his greed to save his life) prostrated to Satan (and committed disbelief). This is the event alluded to in this statement of Allah Almighty: 'Like Satan, when he said to man, Disbelieve; then when he disbelieved, Satan said: I am disgusted with you and free of you' [Surah al-Hashr: 16]."
Imam Ishaq bin Rahwayh recorded this report in his Musnad; although this report is open to question in terms of its chain, it is well known and widely circulated among the exegetes in explaining the meaning of this verse of the Noble Qur'an and the deception of Satan.

It is narrated from Abu al-Mutawakkil al-Naji (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man from among the Muslims passed by who had been travelling on foot while fasting continuously for three days and could find nothing with which to break his fast; he kept waking up fasting in this condition, until an Ansari Companion called Thabit bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him) came to know of his condition. He said to his family: "Tonight I will bring a guest of mine with me. When you set out the food, let one of you go to the lamp on the pretext of fixing it and put it out; then move your hands over the food as though you were eating, but do not eat until our guest has eaten his fill." So when evening came he brought him, and the family served the food; his wife got up on the pretext of fixing the lamp and put it out. Then they all moved their hands over the food as though they were eating, but they were not eating, until their guest had eaten his fill, while all their food was only a single loaf of bread, which was their own sustenance. When morning came, Sayyiduna Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Thabit! Allah Almighty was indeed very pleased with (marvelled at) you and this conduct of yours last night." The narrator says: Then this verse was revealed concerning them: "And they give (others) preference over themselves, even though they themselves are in severe hardship and want" [Surah al-Hashr: 9].
In the chain of this hadith, Isma'il bin Muslim al-Makki is weak; however, the origin of this story is narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), in which the event is attributed to an unnamed Ansari Companion.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this statement of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted: "And the first forerunners among the Muhajirun and the Ansar" [Surah al-Tawbah: 100], that he said in its explanation: "They are those (Companions) who prayed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) facing both qiblahs (Bayt al-Maqdis and the House of Allah)."
Imam al-Harith bin Abi Usamah related this hadith in his Musnad (Bughyat al-Bahith: 1113).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that (the Companions) were permitted to cut down the date palms, then they were dealt with strictly in this matter. So they came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Is there any sin upon us for the trees we cut down or for those we left standing?" At this Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this blessed verse: "Whatever palm trees (linah, fine date palms) you cut down or left standing on their roots, it was all by the command and permission of Allah" [Surah al-Hashr: 5].
Imam Abu Ya'la related this hadith in his Musnad and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy); the origin of this event is also found in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
