حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَجْمَلِ فَتَاةٍ فِي قُرَيْشٍ ؟ قَالَ : وَأَيْنَ هِيَ ؟ قُلْتُ : ابْنَةُ حَمْزَةَ ، قَالَ : وَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ؟ وَإِنَّ اللهَ حَرَّمَ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ مَا حَرَّمَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), shall I not tell you about the most beautiful girl of Quraysh?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who is she?" I said: "She is the daughter of Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not know that she is the daughter of my foster brother? And indeed Allah Almighty has made unlawful through fosterage (the bond of suckling) the same as He has made unlawful through lineage."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الْحَنَفِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، وَسَأَلَهُ ابْنُ الْكَوَّاءِ ، عَنِ ابْنَةِ الْأَخِ مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : ذَكَرْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنَةَ حَمْزَةَ ، فَقَالَ : وَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا ابْنَةُ أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ؟ .
Abu Salih al-Hanafi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was on the pulpit when Ibn al-Kawwa' asked him about the daughter of a foster brother. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I mentioned the daughter of Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Do you not know that she is the daughter of my foster brother?'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came out (to the people) and said: "Ask me." So Ibn al-Kawwa' asked him about a foster niece (the daughter of a foster brother), and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I mentioned the daughter of Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'She is the daughter of my foster brother.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ السَّلْمَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَبَسَهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ امْلَأْ قُبُورَهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ نَارًا كَمَا شَغَلُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى ، حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of al-Ahzab the polytheists kept the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from the Asr prayer until the sun was about to set, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, fill their graves and their houses with fire, just as they kept us busy from the middle prayer (al-salat al-wusta) until the sun was about to set."

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ : مَلَأَ اللهُ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَقُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا كَمَا شَغَلُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى .
قَالَ حَمَّادٌ : لَا أَدْرِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَوْ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؟ وَهِيَ الْعَصْرُ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of the Trench the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) invoked against them: "May Allah Almighty fill their houses and their graves with fire, just as they kept us busy and held us back from the middle prayer (al-salat al-wusta)." Hammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I do not know whether this explanation is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "And it means the Asr prayer."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَلَأَ اللهُ قُبُورَهُمْ وَقُلُوبَهُمْ نَارًا ، كَمَا شَغَلُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى ، قَالَ : وَهِيَ الْعَصْرُ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of al-Ahzab (the Battle of the Trench) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting at one of the crossing points of the trench, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They (the disbelievers) kept us busy from the middle prayer until the sun set. May Allah Almighty fill their houses and their graves with fire," or (according to the narrator's doubt, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said): "May Allah fill their bellies and their graves with fire."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "On the day of the Battle of al-Ahzab (the Battle of the Trench), the polytheists kept us from the middle prayer (al-salat al-wusta), that is, the Asr prayer. May Allah Almighty fill their graves, their houses and their bellies with fire."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، قَالَ : أَمَرْنَا عَبِيدَةَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ عَلِيًّا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى ، فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ : كُنْتُ أَحْسَبُ أَنَّهَا صَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ ، حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ ، يَقُولُ : شَغَلُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى ، صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ، مَلَأَ اللهُ قُبُورَهُمْ وَأَجْوَافَهُمْ نَارًا .
Zirr bin Hubaysh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We asked Abidah (may Allah have mercy on him) to ask Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about the middle prayer (al-salat al-wusta). So he asked him, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I used to think that it was the Fajr prayer, until I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say on the day of al-Ahzab: 'They kept us busy from the middle prayer, that is, the Asr prayer. May Allah Almighty fill their graves and their bellies with fire.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the polytheists kept the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) busy (in battle) from the Asr prayer until he (peace and blessings be upon him) offered it after the Maghrib and Isha prayers. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah Almighty fill their houses and their graves with fire, just as they kept us from the middle prayer (al-salat al-wusta)."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ صُبَيْحٍ ، عَنْ شُتَيْرِ بْنِ شَكَلٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ : شَغَلُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى ، صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ، مَلَأَ اللهُ قُبُورَهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ وَأَجْوَافَهُمْ نَارًا ، ثُمَّ صَلَّاهَا بَيْنَ الْعِشَاءَيْنِ ، بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of the Trench the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said (invoking against the polytheists): "May Allah Almighty fill their graves and their bellies with fire, for they kept us so busy from the middle prayer (al-salat al-wusta), that is, the Asr prayer, that the sun set."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجُشَمِيُّ ، وَأَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، كَاتِبِ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَالْمِقْدَادَ ، فَقَالَ : انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ ، فَإِنَّ بِهَا ظَعِينَةً ، وَمَعَهَا كِتَابٌ تَجِدُونَهُ مَعَهَا ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا نَتَعَادَى ، حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الرَّوْضَةَ ، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالظَّعِينَةِ ، فَقُلْنَا : أَخْرِجِي الْكِتَابَ ، فَقَالَتْ : مَا مَعِي كِتَابٌ ، فَقُلْنَا : لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَنُفَتِّشَنَّ الثِّيَابَ ، فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ مِنْ عِقَاصِهَا ، فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ : مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَاطِبًا ، فَقَالَ : مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ ، إِنَّمَا كُنْتُ مُلْصَقًا فِي قُرَيْشٍ ، وَلَمْ أَكُنْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ ، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ إِلَّا لَهُ بِمَكَّةَ مَنْ يَحْمِيهِ وَيَخْلُفُهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ غَيْرِي ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ عِنْدَهُمْ يَدًا ، وَمَا فَعَلْتُهُ كُفْرًا وَلَا ارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي ، وَلَا رِضًا بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : صَدَقَكُمْ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : إِنَّهُ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا ، وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me, Sayyiduna al-Zubayr and Sayyiduna al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with them) on a mission, saying: "Go on until you reach the place 'Rawdat Khakh'. There will be a veiled woman on a mount who has a letter; take that letter from her." So we set off, racing our horses, until, when we reached that place, we found the woman there. We said to her: "Bring out the letter." She replied: "I have no letter." We said: "You will have to bring out the letter, or else we will take off your clothes and search you." Then she took the letter out of her braids (the knot of her hair) and handed it over. We brought the letter to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it turned out that it was from Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) to the people of Makkah, in which he was informing them of some of the secret plans of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: "What is this?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), do not be hasty in my matter. The fact is that I lived among Quraysh merely as an attached member, and I was not from their actual tribe, whereas your (peace and blessings be upon him) other Emigrant Companions have relatives in Makkah who protect their families and property there. So I wished, since I have no tie of lineage with them, to do them some favour so that they would show consideration to my relatives. I did not do this out of disbelief or apostasy from my religion, nor out of being pleased with disbelief after accepting Islam." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has told you the truth." At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), allow me to strike off the neck of this hypocrite!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "He took part in the Battle of Badr, and how do you know? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and Himself said: 'Do whatever you wish, for I have certainly forgiven you.'"
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ ، كَاتِبَ عَلِيٍّ ، أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا ، يَقُولُ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ، أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَالْمِقْدَادَ ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : هَؤُلَاءِ فُرْسَانُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فَقَالَ : انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me, Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him). Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) (a narrator of the hadith) said about these Companions: "They were the horsemen of the believers." He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us, saying: "Set off until you reach the place 'Rawdat Khakh'." Then the narrator mentioned the rest in the same way (like the previous narration).
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَأَبَا مَرْثَدٍ السُّلَمِيَّ ، وَكُلُّنَا فَارِسٌ ، فَقَالَ : انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَبْلُغُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ ، فَإِنَّ بِهَا امْرَأَةً مَعَهَا صَحِيفَةٌ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، فَأْتُونِي بِهَا ، فَأَدْرَكْنَاهَا وَهِيَ تَسْتَنِدُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ لَهَا حَيْثُ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَيْنَ الْكِتَابُ الَّذِي مَعَكِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : مَا مَعِي كِتَابٌ ، فَأَنَخْنَا بَعِيرَهَا ، فَفَتَّشْنَا رَحْلَهَا ، فَقَالَ صَاحِبَيَّ : مَا نَرَى مَعَهَا شَيْئًا ، فَقُلْتُ : لَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا كَذَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَالَّذِي نَحْلِفُ بِهِ لَتُخْرِجِنَّهُ أَوْ لَأَجْزُرَنَّكِ - يَعْنِي السَّيْفَ - فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ الْجِدَّ أَهْوَتْ إِلَى حُجْزَتِهَا ، وَعَلَيْهَا إِزَارٌ مِنْ صُوفٍ ، فَأَخْرَجَتِ الْكِتَابَ ، فَأَتَيْنَا بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا حَاطِبُ ، مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا بِي إِلَّا أَنْ أَكُونَ مُؤْمِنًا بِاللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ، وَلَكِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي عِنْدَ الْقَوْمِ يَدٌ يَدْفَعُ اللهُ بِهَا عَنْ أَهْلِي وَمَالِي ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ إِلَّا وَمِنْ قَوْمِهِ هُنَاكَ مَنْ يَدْفَعُ اللهُ بِهَا عَنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : صَدَقَ ، فَلَا تَقُولُوا لَهُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ خَانَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فَدَعْنِي حَتَّى أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَوَلَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ؟ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ يَا عُمَرُ ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةُ .
Abu Abd al-Rahman al-Sulami (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me, Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Marthad al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) on a mission, and all of us were horsemen. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Set off until you reach the place Rawdat Khakh. There you will find a woman who has a letter from Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) to the polytheists; take that letter from her and bring it to me." So we found the woman at the very place the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had told us; she was sitting on her camel, leaning against the saddle. I said to her: "Where is the letter that you have?" She said: "I have no letter." Then we made her camel kneel and searched her saddle, and my two companions said: "We do not see anything with her." I said: "We know well that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not tell us a lie at all. By the One by whom we swear, either you will bring out that letter or I will strike off your neck (meaning, I will use the sword)." When she saw our seriousness and sternness, she reached for the waist-fold of her lower garment; she was wearing a woollen waist-wrap. She took out the letter and handed it over, and we brought it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Hatib, what led you to do this?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, my intention was not to turn away from faith in Allah and His Messenger; rather, I wanted to do these people (the people of Makkah) a favour, in return for which Allah Almighty would protect my family and property residing in Makkah, because all of your Companions have their tribes and relatives there through whom Allah protects their households and property (while I have no one there)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has spoken the truth, so now say nothing about him except good." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, this man has betrayed Allah, His Messenger and the believers; allow me to strike off his neck." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is he not one of the people of Badr? And how do you know, O Umar? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and said: 'Do whatever you wish, Paradise has certainly become due for you.'"
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَوْلَوِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سِنَانٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: لَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَكَّةَ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ مَكَّةَ فِيهِمْ حَاطِبُ بْنُ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ، وَفَشَا فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ حُنَيْنًا، قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ حَاطِبٌ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُرِيدُكُمْ، قَالَ: فَأُخْبِرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قَالَ: فَبَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَا وَأَبَا مَرْثَدٍ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا رَجُلٌ إِلَّا وَمَعَهُ فَرَسٌ، فَقَالَ: «ائْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ، فَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بِهَا امْرَأَةً مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ، فَخُذُوهُ مِنْهَا»، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى رَأَيْنَاهَا فِي الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقُلْنَا لَهَا: هَاتِ الْكِتَابَ، فَقَالَتْ: مَا مَعِي كِتَابٌ، قَالَ: فَوَضَعْنَا مَتَاعَهَا، فَفَتَّشْنَاهَا، فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ فِي مَتَاعِهَا، فَقَالَ أَبُومَرْثَدٍ: فَلَعَلَّ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ، فَقُلْنَا: مَا كُذِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَلَا كَذَبَنَا، فَقُلْنَا لَهَا: لَتُخْرِجِنَّهُ أَوْ لَنُعَرِّيَنَّكِ، فَقَالَتْ: أَمَا تَتَّقُونَ اللَّهَ؟ أَمَا أَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ؟ فَقُلْنَا: لَتُخْرِجِنَّهُ أَوْ لَنُعَرِّيَنَّكِ، قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ: فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ مِنْ حُجْزَتِهَا، فَقَالَ حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ: وَأَخْرَجَتْهُ مِنْ قُبُلِهَا، فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَإِذَا الْكِتَابُ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ، فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، خَانَ اللَّهَ، خَانَ رَسُولَهُ، ائْذَنْ لِي فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «أَلَيْسَ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا؟» قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: بَلَى، وَلَكِنَّهُ قَدْ نَكَثَ وَظَاهَرَ أَعْدَاءَكَ عَلَيْكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: " فَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ قَدِ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، فَقَالَ: اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ "، فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَا عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، وَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى حَاطِبٍ، فَقَالَ: «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كُنْتُ امْرَأً مُلْصَقًا فِي قُرَيْشٍ، فَكَانَ بِهَا أَهْلِي وَمَالِي، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَلَهُ بِمَكَّةَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ، فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِذَلِكَ، وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي لِمُؤْمِنٌ بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «صَدَقَ حَاطِبٌ، فَلَا تَقُولُوا لِحَاطِبٍ إِلَّا خَيْرًا» قَالَ حَبِيبٌ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ} [الممتحنة: 1]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended (to march on) Makkah, he called some of his Companions and informed them that he (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to go to Makkah; among them was Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him), while among the general people it had become widely known that he (peace and blessings be upon him) intended Hunayn. Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to the people of Makkah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to come towards them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me and Sayyiduna Abu Marthad (may Allah be pleased with him), each of us having a horse. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to the place Rawdat Khakh; there you will meet a woman who will have a letter; take it from her." We set off until we found her at the very place the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had mentioned. We said to her: "Bring out the letter." She said: "I have no letter." We unloaded her belongings and searched, but we did not find the letter in her belongings, whereupon Sayyiduna Abu Marthad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Perhaps she does not have a letter." We said: "Neither has the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoken untruly, nor have we been told a lie." Then we said to the woman: "Either bring out the letter or we will strip you." She said: "Do you not fear Allah? Are you not Muslims?" We repeated the same thing: "Bring out the letter or we will strip you." Amr bin Murrah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: She took the letter out of her waistband, while Habib bin Abi Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) said: She took that letter out of her private part. We brought the letter to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it turned out that it was from Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him). At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, this man has betrayed Allah and His Messenger; allow me to strike off his neck." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did he not take part in the Battle of Badr?" The Companions said: "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah!" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes (he took part), but he has broken the covenant and helped your enemies against you." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the state of the people of Badr and said: 'Do whatever you wish (I have forgiven you).'" On hearing this, tears flowed from the eyes of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: "What led you to do this?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I was a man who had taken refuge among Quraysh (I was not of their lineage), and my family and property are there, while there is none of your other Companions who does not have in Makkah a tribe that protects his family and property; so I wrote this letter to them. By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I am a believer with complete faith in Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hatib has spoken the truth, so say nothing about Hatib except good." Habib (may Allah have mercy on him) said: On this occasion Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "O you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending to them affection."
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، أَخْبَرَهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْمِقْدَادَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ إِلَى رَوْضَةِ خَاخٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ بِهَا امْرَأَةً وَمَعَهَا كِتَابٌ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجْنَا تَتَعَادَى بِنَا خَيْلُنَا ، فَأَقْبَلْنَا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ ، فَقُلْنَا : لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَنُفَتِّشَنَّ الثِّيَابَ ، قَالَ : فَأَخْرَجَتْ مِنْ عِقَاصِ شَعَرِهَا كِتَابًا ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ ، يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا هَذَا يَا حَاطِبُ ؟ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا كَتَبْتُهُ ارْتِدَادًا عَنْ دِينِي ، وَاعْتَذَرَ بِشَيْءٍ - مَعْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ بِهَا غَرِيبًا أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا - فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، دَعْنِي أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ ، قَالَ : وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ يَا عُمَرُ ؟ لَعَلَّ اللهَ قَدِ اطَّلَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me, Sayyiduna al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) towards the place Rawdat Khakh and said: 'There is a woman there who has a letter.'" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We set off, our horses galloping with us, and when we reached the woman we said (sternly): "Bring out the letter yourself, or else we will search your clothes." So she took the letter out of the braids of her hair and handed it over. When the letter was examined, it contained this message from Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) to the people of Makkah, in which he had informed them of some of the plans of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Hatib, what is this?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I did not do this as an apostate from my religion," and he offered his excuse with something whose meaning was that he was a stranger in Makkah without anyone to back him, or something similar. At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, allow me to strike off the neck of this hypocrite." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar, how do you know? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and said concerning them: 'Do whatever you wish, I have forgiven you.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ - أَوْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ - عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَخَطَبَ ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ الْأَشْعَثُ ، فَقَالَ : غَلَبَتْنَا عَلَيْكَ هَذِهِ الْحُمَيْرَاءُ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ يَعْذِرُنِي مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الضَّيَاطِرَةِ ، يَتَخَلَّفُ أَحَدُهُمْ يَتَقَلَّبُ عَلَى حَشَايَاهُ ، وَهَؤُلَاءِ يُهَجِّرُونَ إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ ، إِنْ طَرَدْتُهُمْ إِنِّي إِذًا لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ ، أَمَا وَاللهِ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : لَيَضْرِبُنَّكُمْ عَلَى الدِّينِ عَوْدًا ، كَمَا ضَرَبْتُمُوهُمْ عَلَيْهِ بَدْءًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he ascended the pulpit on Friday and delivered a sermon. Then Sayyiduna al-Ash'ath (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up towards him and said: "These red-complexioned people (non-Arabs) have overpowered us in your presence." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Who will accept my excuse regarding these heavy, sluggish people? One of them stays behind, turning from side to side on his soft bedding, while these people hasten early to the remembrance of Allah. If I were to drive them away, I would then certainly be among the wrongdoers. Indeed, by Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'These people will fight you for the religion again, just as you fought them for it in the beginning.'"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ الْأَنْمَارِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نَاجَيْتُمُ} [المجادلة: 12] الرَّسُولَ فَقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ صَدَقَةً قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «مَا تَرَى دِينَارٌ؟» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا يُطِيقُونَهُ، قَالَ: «فَكَمْ»، قُلْتُ: شَعِيرَةً، قَالَ: «إِنَّكَ لَزَهِيدٌ»، قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ {أَأَشْفَقْتُمْ أَنْ تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَجْوَاكُمْ صَدَقَاتٍ} [المجادلة: 13] قَالَ: فَبِهِ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this blessed verse was revealed: "O you who have believed, when you wish to consult the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) privately, present some charity before your private consultation," the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: "What is your opinion, should it be one dinar (fixed as the charity)?" I said: "People will not be able to afford it." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Then how much should it be?" I said: "One barley grain (in weight of gold or silver)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said (at this frugality of mine): "You are one who suggests a very small amount (an ascetic)." Then this verse was revealed: "Have you feared to present charities before your private consultation?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Through this verse Allah, the Lord of Might, lightened and eased the ruling for this Ummah.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ ، وَأَنَا حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ ، لَيْسَ لِي عِلْمٌ بِالْقَضَاءِ ، قَالَ : فَضَرَبَ صَدْرِي ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّ اللهَ سَيَهْدِي قَلْبَكَ وَيُثَبِّتُ لِسَانَكَ ، قَالَ : فَمَا شَكَكْتُ فِي قَضَاءٍ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ بَعْدَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Yemen (as a judge) while I was young and had no proper knowledge of judging cases. He (peace and blessings be upon him) struck my chest with his blessed hand and said: "Indeed, Allah will guide your heart (to sound judgements) and keep your tongue firm (upon the truth)." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: After that, I never had any doubt in judging between two people.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ مُجَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : لَعَنَ مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آكِلَ الرِّبَا ، وَمُوكِلَهُ ، وَشَاهِدَيْهِ ، وَكَاتِبَهُ ، وَالْوَاشِمَةَ ، وَالْمُسْتَوْشِمَةَ ، وَالْحَالَّ وَالْمُحَلَّلَ لَهُ ، وَمَانِعَ الصَّدَقَةِ ، وَنَهَى عَنِ النَّوْحِ ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ : لَعَنَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that "Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who consumes usury (riba), the one who pays it, its two witnesses, its scribe, the woman who tattoos, the woman who has herself tattooed, the one who performs halalah and the one for whom halalah is performed, and the one who withholds zakah; and he (peace and blessings be upon him) also forbade wailing (over the dead)." The narrator did not mention the word 'curse' regarding the last part of the hadith (wailing).
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ عَمَّارٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : ائْذَنُوا لَهُ ، مَرْحَبًا بِالطَّيِّبِ الْمُطَيَّبِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission (to enter) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give him permission; welcome to this pure and purified man."
حَدَّثَنَا الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَثَّامُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ جُلُوسًا ، فَدَخَلَ عَمَّارٌ ، فَقَالَ : مَرْحَبًا بِالطَّيِّبِ الْمُطَيَّبِ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : عَمَّارٌ مُلِئَ إِيمَانًا إِلَى مُشَاشَتِهِ .
It is narrated from Hani bin Hani (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) came in. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Welcome, O pure and purified man!" (Then he said:) I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Ammar has been filled with faith down to the joints of his bones (and every vein and sinew)."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ أَبِي هَانِئٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَضَى بِابْنَةِ حَمْزَةَ لِخَالَتِهَا ، وَقَالَ : الْخَالَةُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأُمِّ ، وَكَانَ اخْتَصَمَ فِيهَا عَلِيٌّ وَجَعْفَرٌ وَزَيْدٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave judgement for the custody of the daughter of Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) in favour of her maternal aunt, and said: "The maternal aunt is in the position of the mother." Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Ja'far and Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them) had disputed over the guardianship of this girl.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلِمَةَ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، أَنَا وَرَجُلَانِ : رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَوْمِي ، وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ ، أَحْسَبُهُ ، فَبَعَثَنَا وَجْهًا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّكُمَا عِلْجَانِ ، فَعَالِجَا عَنْ دِينِكُمَا ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَخْرَجَ ، فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأَخَذَ حَفْنَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ ، فَتَمَسَّحَ بِهَا ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ، قَالَ : فَكَأَنَّهُ رَآنَا أَنْكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ، وَيَأْكُلُ مَعَنَا اللَّحْمَ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَحْجُبُهُ عَنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ ، لَيْسَ الْجَنَابَةُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him): Abdullah bin Salimah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I and two other men, one from my own people and the other from Banu Asad, came to Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). Sending us off on a mission, he said: "You two are strong and hardy men, so strive hard for the sake of your religion." Then he went into the toilet and relieved himself, then came out, took a handful of water and wiped (his hands and so on) with it, and then began reciting the Noble Qur'an. The narrator said: It was as if he sensed our disapproval of this, so he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would relieve himself, then come out and recite the Qur'an and eat meat with us, and nothing kept him (peace and blessings be upon him) from reciting the Qur'an except janabah (major ritual impurity)."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، بِنَحْوِهِ ، حَفِظْتُهُ وَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ بَعْدُ .
Ali bin al-Ja'd (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Imam Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) also narrated something similar. (The author said:) "I had memorised it, but afterwards I could not find it (in written form)."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَلِمَةَ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَا وَرَجُلَانِ : رَجُلٌ مِنَّا ، وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ ، أَحْسَبُ ، فَبَعَثَهُمَا وَجْهًا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّكُمَا عِلْجَانِ فَعَالِجَا عَنْ دِينِكُمَا ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَخْرَجَ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ ، فَأَخَذَ حَفْنَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَمَسَّحَ بِهَا ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ، فَرَأَى أَنَّا أَنْكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتِي الْخَلَاءَ فَيَقْضِي الْحَاجَةَ ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَيَأْكُلُ مَعَنَا الْخُبْزَ وَاللَّحْمَ لَا يَحْجُبُهُ - وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ : لَا يَحْجِزُهُ - عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ ، لَيْسَ الْجَنَابَةُ ، أَوِ الْجِنَازَةُ .
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Salimah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I and two other men, one from our people and the other from Banu Asad, came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him); I think he (may Allah be pleased with him) had sent the two of them on a mission. Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You two are strong and sturdy men, so strive hard for the sake of your religion." After that, he (may Allah be pleased with him) went into the toilet, then came out, took a handful of water and wiped (his limbs) with it, and began reciting the Noble Qur'an. When he (may Allah be pleased with him) saw that we found this strange, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would go to the toilet and relieve himself, then come out and eat bread and meat with us, and nothing kept him (peace and blessings be upon him) from (reciting) the Noble Qur'an except (the state of) janabah, or (with the narrator's doubt) a funeral (janazah)."
حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلِمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ شَاكِيًا ، فَمَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ أَجَلِي قَدْ حَضَرَ ، فَأَرِحْنِي ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُتَأَخِّرًا ، فَارْفَعْنِي ، وَإِنْ كَانَ بَلَاءً ، فَصَبِّرْنِي ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : كَيْفَ قُلْتَ ؟ فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَضَرَبَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ ، وَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ عَافِهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ اشْفِهِ ، قَالَ : فَمَا اشْتَكَيْتُ وَجَعِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I was ill when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while I was supplicating: 'Allahumma in kana ajali qad hadara fa-arihni, wa in kana muta'akhkhiran farfa'ni, wa in kana bala'an fa-sabbirni' (O Allah, if my appointed time has come, then grant me relief; if it is still delayed, then grant me recovery; and if this is a trial, then grant me patience). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'What did you say?' He repeated his words, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) tapped him lightly with his blessed foot (to draw his attention) and supplicated: 'Allahumma 'afihi, Allahumma ishfihi' (O Allah, grant him well-being; O Allah, cure him). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: After that I never again felt the pain of that illness."
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلِمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ شَاكِيًا فَمَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنَا أَقُولُ - بِنَحْوِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I was ill (because of an ailment), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while I was saying the like (of those words of supplication)" (that is, the text of this narration is also like the previous hadith).
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، وَشُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمَرِ ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ الْأَجْدَعِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لَا تُصَلُّوا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُصَلُّوا وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not pray (voluntary) prayers after Asr, unless you pray while the sun is still high and bright."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ : لَمَّا حَضَرَ الْبَأْسُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ اتَّقَيْنَا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ . قَالَ : وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "When the fighting grew fierce on the day of Badr, we took cover behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and shielded ourselves (from the enemy's blows) by means of him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most daring and brave of all people, and no one on the battlefield was closer to the polytheists than he (peace and blessings be upon him) was."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ ، وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْقَسِّيِّ ، وَخَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from reciting the Noble Qur'an while bowing (in ruku'), from wearing qassi (a kind of silk garment), and from wearing a gold ring."
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، فِي رَحَبَةِ الْكُوفَةِ ، يَقُولُ : نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَلَا أَقُولُ نَهَاكُمْ - عَنْ لَبُوسِ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمُعَصْفَرِ ، وَعَنْ تَخَتُّمِ الذَّهَبِ ، وَعَنْ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said in an open courtyard of Kufah: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me (and I do not say that he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade you too) from wearing qassi garments (a particular Egyptian garment with silk stripes) and mu'asfar clothes (dyed yellow or deep red with safflower), from wearing a gold ring, and from reciting the Noble Qur'an while bowing (in ruku')."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ التَّخَتُّمِ بِالذَّهَبِ ، وَعَنْ لِبَاسِ الْقَسِّيِّ ، وَعَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ ، وَلِبَاسِ الْمُعَصْفَرِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from wearing a gold ring, from wearing qassi garments (Egyptian garments with silk stripes), from reciting the Qur'an while bowing and prostrating, and from wearing clothes dyed with safflower (a deep yellow colour)."
حَدَّثَنَا مَسْرُوقُ بْنُ الْمَرْزُبَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ ، فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ : أَقْرَأُ فِي الرُّكُوعِ أَوْ فِي السُّجُودِ ؟ فَقَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ فِي الرُّكُوعِ أَوْ فِي السُّجُودِ ، فَإِذَا رَكَعْتُمْ فَعَظِّمُوا اللهَ ، وَإِذَا سَجَدْتُمْ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ ، فَإِنَّهُ قَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ .
It is narrated from al-Nu'man bin Sa'd (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: We were present in the gathering of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man asked him: "May I recite (the Qur'an) while bowing or prostrating?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I have been forbidden from reciting while bowing or prostrating. So when you bow, proclaim the greatness of Allah, the Lord of Might, and when you prostrate, strive hard and earnestly in supplication, for that (moment) is worthy of your supplication being answered."
حَدَّثَنَا مَسْرُوقٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُحَيْمٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِنَحْوِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said "the like of this (with the same meaning as the previous hadith)."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ كُلَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا عَلِيُّ ، قُلِ : اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي ، وَسَدِّدْنِي ، وَاذْكُرْ بِالْهُدَى هِدَايَتَكَ الطَّرِيقَ ، وَاذْكُرْ بِالسَّدَادِ تَسْدِيدَكَ السَّهْمَ ، قَالَ : وَنَهَانِي أَنْ أَضَعَ الْخَاتَمَ فِي السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى ، وَنَهَانِي عَنِ الْقَسِّيَّةِ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ ، قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ : فَقُلْنَا لِعَلِيٍّ : مَا الْقَسِّيَّةُ ؟ قَالَ : ثِيَابُ الشَّامِ ، وَمِصْرَ ، مُضَلَّعَةٌ ، فِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْأُتْرُجِّ ، قَالَ : وَالْمِيثَرَةُ : شَيْءٌ كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُهُ النِّسَاءُ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَمْثَالُ الْقَطَائِفِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ali, say: 'Allahumma ihdini wa saddidni' (O Allah, guide me and keep me steadfast on the right path). When asking for guidance, keep in mind being guided along a road, and when asking for 'sadad' (rightness), keep in mind straightening an arrow on its target." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from wearing a ring on the index finger and the middle finger, and he also forbade me from using 'qassiyyah' (striped silk garments) and 'mithrah' (a soft silk saddle-cover). Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): What is 'qassiyyah'? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "They were garments made in Syria and Egypt which had stripes shaped like citrons (utrujj)," and he said that "mithrah" was something that women used to make for their husbands, like velvet cloth (to place on saddles and the like).
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ الْخَاتَمَ فِي هَذِهِ ، أَوْ فِي هَذِهِ ، يَعْنِي السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from wearing a ring on this finger or this finger," that is, he (peace and blessings be upon him) meant the index finger and the middle finger.
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : نَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ ، وَعَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ ، وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْمُعَصْفَرِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from wearing a gold ring, from reciting the Qur'an while bowing and prostrating, and from wearing clothes dyed with safflower."
