Qabisah bin Mukhariq al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him)

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that Sayyiduna Qabisah bin Mukhariq al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him with salam. He (peace and blessings be upon him) returned his greeting and welcomed him, then said: "O Qabisah, what has brought you here?" He said: O Messenger of Allah, I have grown old, my skin has become thin, my strength has weakened, I have become weak in providing for my family, and I am unable to do things I used to do. So teach me some words by which Allah may benefit me, and keep it brief. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Qabisah, when you have prayed Fajr, say three times: 'Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi, subhan Allahil-'azimi wa bihamdihi, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him; glory be to Allah the Magnificent and praise be to Him; and there is no might nor power except with Allah). For when you say that, you will be safe, by the permission of Allah, from blindness, leprosy and vitiligo. And also say: 'Allahumma-hdini min 'indik, wa afid 'alayya min fadlik, wa-nshur 'alayya min rahmatik, wa anzil 'alayya min barakatik' (O Allah, guide me from Yourself, pour upon me of Your bounty, spread over me of Your mercy, and send down upon me of Your blessings)." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) kept saying these words and Qabisah (may Allah be pleased with him) kept counting them on his fingers.

Qatan bin Qabisah narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Qabisah bin Mukhariq (may Allah be pleased with him), that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Taking omens from birds, drawing lines in the sand to divine, and superstitious pessimism are all part of sorcery (jibt)."

Qatan bin Qabisah narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Qabisah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Taking omens from birds, drawing lines in the sand, and superstitious pessimism are part of sorcery (jibt)."

Qatan bin Qabisah narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Qabisah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Taking omens from birds, drawing lines in the sand, and superstitious pessimism are part of shirk (associating partners with Allah)."

Qatan bin Qabisah bin Mukhariq narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Qabisah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Taking omens from birds, drawing lines in the sand, and superstitious pessimism are part of sorcery (jibt)."
Awf said: 'Iyafah means taking omens by making birds fly, and tarq means drawing lines on the ground.

Qatan bin Qabisah bin Mukhariq narrated that his father, Sayyiduna Qabisah (may Allah be pleased with him), said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Taking omens from birds, superstitious pessimism, and drawing lines in the sand are part of sorcery (jibt)."

Kinanah al-Adawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I was with Sayyiduna Qabisah bin Mukhariq (may Allah be pleased with him) when some people of his tribe came to him, seeking his help with the marriage of one of their men, but he refused to give them anything, so they left him. Kinanah said: I said to him: You are the chief of your people; they came to you asking, and you gave them nothing? He said: As for this matter, I will give nothing. Even if he were to chew a leather strap (out of hunger) until he dried it up, that would be better for him than asking people for something like this. And I will tell you about that: I took upon myself a guarantee (for a payment) on behalf of my people, so I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have taken upon myself a guarantee on behalf of my people, and I have come to you so that you may help me with it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, O Qabisah, we will bear it for you and pay it to them from the charity." Then he said: "O Qabisah, asking is forbidden except in one of three cases: a man struck by a calamity that destroys his wealth, so he may ask until he obtains enough to sustain his living, then he stops; a man struck by severe need, until three men of sound judgement from his people testify that asking has become permissible for him, so he may ask until he obtains enough to sustain his living, then he stops; and a man who takes on the burden of a guarantee, so he may ask until he has reached the amount, then he stops. Anything other than that is unlawful earnings (suht), which the one who eats it eats as something unlawful."

Sayyiduna Qabisah bin Mukhariq al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I took upon myself a guarantee (for a payment), so I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask him about it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stay, O Qabisah, until the charity comes, and we will give you from it." Then he said: "O Qabisah, asking is permissible only for one of three: a man who takes on the burden of a guarantee, so asking becomes permissible for him until he obtains it, then he stops; and a man struck by poverty and want, until three men of sound judgement from his people say: So-and-so has truly been struck by want, so asking becomes permissible for him until he obtains enough to sustain his living, or enough to suffice him. And, O Qabisah, asking other than in these is unlawful earnings (suht), which the one who asks eats as something unlawful."

Sayyiduna Qabisah bin Mukhariq al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask him about a guarantee, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stay until the charity comes to us; then either we will give you from it or we will bear it for you." Then he said about it: "Asking is permissible only for three: a man who takes on a guarantee between people, so he asks for it until he pays it, then he stops; and a man struck by need, until three men of sound judgement from his people testify that he has truly been struck by what makes asking permissible, so asking becomes permissible for him until he obtains enough to sustain his living or to suffice him, then he stops. And, O Qabisah, asking other than this is unlawful earnings (suht), which the one who asks eats as something unlawful."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This wording is that of the narration of Ibn Ulayyah.

Sayyiduna Qabisah bin Mukhariq al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I took upon myself a guarantee on behalf of my people, so I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I have taken upon myself a guarantee on behalf of my people, so help me with it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, O Qabisah, we will bear it for you; when the charity comes, it will be yours." Then he said: "O Qabisah, asking is permissible only for one of three: a man who takes on a guarantee on behalf of his people in order to make peace, so he asks, and when he has reached the amount he stops; and a man struck by want, until three men of sound judgement from his people come forward (to vouch for him), so he asks until he obtains enough to sustain him or to suffice him, then he stops. And, O Qabisah, asking other than this is unlawful earnings (suht)." (He (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this twice.)

Then Sayyiduna Qabisah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seeking help with a guarantee, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Qabisah, asking is permissible only for one of three" - and then he narrated a similar hadith.

The parable of me and you is that of a man who saw the enemy and ran to warn his family, and he feared that the enemy would reach his family before him, so he began to cry out: O my companions! O my companions! The enemy has come upon you, has come upon you!"

Sayyiduna Qabisah al-Hilali (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the sun was eclipsed in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Madinah, until the stars became visible to the people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood and prayed two rak'ahs in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) lengthened the standing. When he had completed the prayer, he turned to the people and said: "When you see any of these signs (such as solar and lunar eclipses), it is only a warning from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. So when you see them, pray like the most recent prayer you have prayed."
