Those Named Bakr

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no deed of a day and night but a seal is placed upon it. When the believer falls ill, the angels say: 'Rabbana abduka fulan qad habastah' (Our Lord, Your servant so-and-so, You have held him back [through illness]), and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'Keep sealing for him according to his (previous, healthy) deeds until he recovers or dies.'"

He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will have shining foreheads and radiant hands and feet from the traces of prostration, and the light of their offspring will be before them."

And whoever swears an oath by Allah that he has been compelled or bound to take (before a court or ruler) (yamin sabr) and puts into it (a lie) even the size of a mosquito's wing, it will become a black spot on his heart on the Day of Resurrection."

She said: "No." I said: "But Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to kiss while he was fasting?" She said: "Perhaps he used to kiss her, for he could not control himself out of love for her."

Sayyiduna Aban bin Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, give us a share (of it) too." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, do not give them a share." At this Sayyiduna Aban (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O wabr (a small rat-like mountain animal)! You have just come down from the top of the mountain." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give them anything from the spoils.

Sayyiduna Huwaytib (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: 'O Abu Abd al-Rahman, did you hear this (way of praying) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?' Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) laughed and said: 'Yes, I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).'"

He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said the takbir, and a group of us lined up behind him (peace and blessings be upon him) while another group remained facing the enemy. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led them (those behind him) in one rak'ah, in which he made one bowing and two prostrations, equal to half of the Fajr prayer. Then they turned away and went to stand facing the enemy, and the other group came and prayed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did the same with them. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said the salam, and every man from both groups stood up and prayed one (more) rak'ah on his own, with one bowing and two prostrations."

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who was one of the three people whose repentance Allah Almighty accepted, relates: In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) took on debt until the debt engulfed all his wealth, and Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of the pious and righteous Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, when I accepted Islam I did not resolve in my heart to be stingy towards Islam with any wealth I owned, and I spent my wealth on the affairs of Islam, and as a result a heavy debt has remained upon me. So call my creditors and ask them to be lenient; if they are lenient with me, then well and good, and if they refuse, then hand my wealth over to them and release me from it." The narrator said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called his creditors and proposed to them that they be lenient with him, but they said: "We love our wealth." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) handed all of Sayyiduna Mu'adh's (may Allah be pleased with him) wealth over to them. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor over part of Yemen, so that his loss could be made good through it. Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) acquired wealth in Yemen from the benefits and facilities of governorship. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was still in Yemen. During that time some of the people of Yemen apostatised, so Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and the other governors whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had appointed over Yemen fought them until they entered Islam again. Then, during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) came with a great deal of wealth. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him and said: "You have come with a great deal of wealth. My opinion is that you go to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and have him make this wealth lawful for you; if he makes it lawful for you, it will be pure for you, otherwise give this wealth to him." Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Umar, you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me only so that my loss would be made good, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had my wealth handed over to my creditors. And I will not give Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) anything of what I have brought unless he asks me for it; if he asks me for it, I will give it to him, and if he does not take it, I will keep it." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "I have wanted nothing but good for you and for myself." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) got up and went back. When he turned his back and left, Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) called him, and when he came back, he said: "I will follow your advice, and were it not for a dream that I have seen, I would not follow your advice. I saw myself in my sleep drowning in a whirlpool of water, and I saw you take hold of my hand and rescue me from it. So come with us to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)." Then the two of them went until they came to him. Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) told him about the matter of his creditors and the intention of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to make good his loss, just as he had told Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he informed him about the wealth he had brought, until he said: "Even this whip of mine is part of the wealth I have brought; take whatever you see fit, and make lawful for me whatever you see fit." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "O Mu'adh, all of it is yours." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) turned to Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Mu'adh, now this wealth has become pure for you." So Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) became one of the wealthiest of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was the first person to acquire wealth from the facilities of governorship.
Imam Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "In the case of Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), the Sunnah was established that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) released him from his wealth and did not order him to be sold, and in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) there is an excellent example."

Then he came out to us, and water was dripping from his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed head. We said: "O Messenger of Allah, it seems something has happened?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, such-and-such a woman passed by me and desire for women arose in my heart, so I went to one of my wives. You should do likewise, for among the best of your deeds is fulfilling (desire) in a lawful way."

Isa (peace be upon him) said: 'O my Lord, how can this be when they have neither knowledge nor forbearance?' Allah Almighty said: 'I will give them from My forbearance and My knowledge.'"

So he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him an older camel (in place of the price). He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this is better than my camel.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'It is better for you; indeed the best of people is the one who is best in repaying debts.'"

He went into his house, then he told me the verse. I had gone only a short distance from there when I fell on my face from the severity of hunger. Suddenly I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) standing at my head. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Abu Hurayrah!' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, here I am, at your service again and again.' Then I told him (peace and blessings be upon him) of my condition, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) understood my state and went to his house, then he ordered a large bowl of milk to be brought for me. I drank from it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Abu Hurayrah, drink again.' I drank again until my back straightened and became taut like an arrow. Then I met Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), told him my whole story and said: 'Allah Almighty arranged it at the hands of the one among you who was most entitled to it. I had asked you to recite that verse to me although I knew it better than you.' Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'By Allah, had I taken you into the house (at that time), that would have been dearer to me than red camels.'"

He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Is there anyone who will host this man? May Allah have mercy on him.' A man from the Ansar came and took him to his home. He said to his wife: 'Honour the guest of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).' She said: 'By Allah, we have nothing but the children's food.' He said: 'Put the children to sleep, light the lamp and place the food before the guest of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and make it look to him as if we are eating with him; then put out the lamp and leave the food for the guest of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).' So she did that."
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The next day Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Allah Almighty was greatly amazed at such-and-such a man and such-and-such a woman (or he said: He laughed),' meaning Abu Talhah and his wife, and Allah revealed concerning them this verse: 'And they give preference to others over themselves, even though they themselves are in dire need.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated these hadiths from Fudayl bin Ghazwan except Muhammad bin Fudayl."
