Say: 'A'udhu bi-wajhillahil-karim, wa kalimatillahit-tammah, allati la yujawizuhunna barrun wa la fajir, min sharri ma yanzilu minas-sama'i wa ma ya'ruju fiha, wa min sharri ma dhara'a fil-ardi wa ma yakhruju minha, wa min sharri fitanil-layli wan-nahar, wa min sharri tawariqil-layli wan-nahar, illa tariqan yatruqu bikhayrin ya Rahman' (I seek refuge in the Noble Face of Allah and in the perfect words of Allah, which neither a righteous nor a wicked person can transgress, from the evil of what descends from the sky and what ascends into it, from the evil of what He has created in the earth and what comes out of it, from the evil of the trials of the night and the day, and from the evil of the sudden visitations of the night and the day, except a visitor who comes with good, O Most Merciful)."

Emigration will not come to an end as long as repentance is accepted, and repentance will continue to be accepted until the sun rises from the west. When it rises (from the west), every heart will be sealed with whatever state it is in, and (the opportunity for) deeds will be ended for people."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The beginning of my acceptance of Islam was like this: we were an Arab people, and a famine struck us. I took my mother and my brother, whose name was Unays, to our in-laws in upper Najd. When we stayed with them, they treated us with great hospitality, but when a man of the tribe saw this, he went to my maternal uncle and said: 'Do you know that Unays goes to your wife in your absence?' This settled in my uncle's heart. When I returned from grazing my camels, I found him grief-stricken and weeping. I asked: 'O uncle, why are you weeping?' He told me the whole matter. I said: 'May Allah Almighty protect us from that! We shun indecency, however hard the times may have pressed us. You have spoiled the pleasant beginning you made with us, and now there is no way for us to stay together.'
So I set out from there with my mother and my brother until we stopped near Makkah. My brother said: 'I am going to compete with a man at the well in poetry' (he was a poet). I said: 'Do not do it.' But he went out in his stubbornness to compete, until he competed with Durayd bin al-Simmah, staking his herd of camels against Durayd's herd. By Allah, on that day Durayd was a greater poet than my brother. Then they both went to al-Khansa' for judgement, and she judged in my brother's favour against Durayd. The reason was that Durayd had asked her father for her hand, and she had said: 'He is an old man; I have no need of him.' Because of this she bore a grudge against Durayd. So we joined his herd to our herd, and we came to have a large herd of camels.
Then I came to Makkah and began at (the hill of) al-Safa, where the leading men of Quraysh were present. News had reached me that there was a Sabi (one who has left his religion), a madman, a poet or a sorcerer there. I asked: 'Where is this man you speak of?' They said: 'There he is, where you see.' So I turned towards him. By Allah, I had not gone the distance of a stone's throw from them when they fell upon me with every bone, stone and clod of earth, and left me covered in blood. Then I came to the House (the Ka'bah), hid between the curtains and the building, and stayed there for thirty days, eating and drinking nothing except the water of Zamzam. Then one night, when the moonlight was spread wide, two women of the tribe of Khuza'ah came and began to circle the House, then they mentioned Isaf and Na'ilah, two idols they used to worship. I put my head out from under the curtains and said: 'Mount one of them on the other' (that is, I insulted them). They became angry and said: 'By Allah, if our men were present, you would not have said this.' I went out following them until they met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Who are you two? Of which tribe are you? Where have you come from? And what has brought you?' They told him the whole story. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them: 'Where did you leave the Sabi?' They said: 'We left him between the curtains and the building.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Did he say anything to you?' They said: 'Yes, he said something most offensive.' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled, then the two of them went away, and I came forward and presented myself to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and at that time I greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Who are you? Of which tribe are you? Where are you from? Where have you come from? And what has brought you here?' I began to inform him (peace and blessings be upon him) of the whole situation. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Where were you getting your food and drink from?' I said: 'From the water of Zamzam.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, it is food that satisfies.' Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, permit me to give him his evening meal.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes.'
Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on foot, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) took hold of my hand, until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped at the door of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) went into his house and brought raisins of Ta'if, and began giving them to us by the handful, and we ate them until we were full. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'O Abu Dharr!' I said: 'Here I am (labbayk).' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'A land has been shown to me which has date palms; I think it is none other than Tihamah. So go to your people and invite them to that (religion) which you have entered.'
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I set out until I came to my mother and my brother and told them the news, and they both said: 'We have no aversion to the religion you have entered.' So we became Muslims. Then we set out from there until we came to Madinah. I told my people, and they said: 'We have believed you, but we wish to meet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).' When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, we met him (peace and blessings be upon him). The tribe of Ghifar said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): 'O Messenger of Allah, Abu Dharr has told us what you told him; we have accepted Islam and we bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah.' Then the tribe of Aslam, the ally of Khuza'ah, came forward and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we too desire this religion and enter into that which our brothers and allies have entered.' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Aslam, may Allah grant it safety; and Ghifar, may Allah forgive it.'
Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) took my hand and said: 'O Abu Dharr!' I said: 'Here I am, O Abu Bakr!' He asked: 'Did you worship even in your days of ignorance (Jahiliyyah)?' I said: 'Yes, I remember that I would stand at sunrise and keep praying until its heat hurt me, then I would collapse exhausted like an old cloth.' He asked me: 'In which direction did you face?' I said: 'I do not know, except wherever Allah turned me, until Allah granted me the blessing of Islam.'"

Muhammad bin A'idh (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, said: 'O son of Adam, if you give away the surplus (wealth in the way of Allah), it is better for you, and if you hold it back, it is bad for you. Begin (your charity) with those in your care. Allah Almighty does not blame (anyone) for keeping wealth according to need, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand.'"

The people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to slaughter some of their riding camels, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to give them permission for it. At that, Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think: if we slaughter our mounts, then tomorrow when we face the enemy, will we be hungry and on foot?' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'Then what is your opinion, O Umar?' He said: 'Order the people to bring the remains of their provisions, then supplicate for blessing in them for us; surely Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will bring us (to our destination) through the blessing of your supplication, if Allah wills.' The narrator said: It was as if the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had been (in some deep thought or state) and that state was removed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a sheet and ordered it to be spread out, then told the people to bring the remains of their provisions. The people brought whatever they had: one brought a handful of grain or a bowl of food, and another brought something the size of an egg. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it to be placed on that sheet, then he supplicated for blessing in it and said the words that Allah willed him to say. Then an announcement was made in the army and the people came. At his (peace and blessings be upon him) command the people ate their fill and filled their vessels and bags. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a small leather vessel, which was placed before him (peace and blessings be upon him); then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called for water and poured it into it, then rinsed his mouth into it and said the words that Allah willed. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) put his little finger into it. By Allah, I saw springs of water gushing from the fingers of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the order to the people, and they drank, gave water to their animals, and filled their water-skins and vessels. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed so much that his (peace and blessings be upon him) molar teeth became visible. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and His Messenger. Whoever meets Allah on the Day of Resurrection with (the testimony of) these two will enter Paradise, whatever his (deeds) may have been.'"

We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you have given us an admonition like that of one bidding farewell, so give us some instruction.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Hold fast to the fear (taqwa) of Allah, and to listening and obeying (your ruler), even if he is an Abyssinian slave. Whoever of you lives on after me will soon see severe disagreement, so hold fast to my Sunnah and the way of the rightly guided caliphs (al-Khulafa' al-Rashidun), and bite onto it firmly with your molar teeth.
