حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، فِي آخَرِينَ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ ، " أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَرَّسَ بِأَوَّلَاتِ الْجَيْشِ وَمَعَهُ عَائِشَةُ ، فَانْقَطَعَ عِقْدٌ لَهَا مِنْ جَزْعِ ظَفَارِ ، فَحُبِسَ النَّاسُ ابْتِغَاءَ عِقْدِهَا ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَضَاءَ الْفَجْرُ وَلَيْسَ مَعَ النَّاسِ مَاءٌ ، فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَيْهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَقَالَ : حَبَسْتِ النَّاسَ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رُخْصَةَ التَّطَهُّرِ بِالصَّعِيدِ الطَّيِّبِ ، فَقَامَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَضَرَبُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَقْبِضُوا مِنَ التُّرَابِ شَيْئًا فَمَسَحُوا بِهَا وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَنَاكِبِ ، وَمِنْ بِطُونِ أَيْدِيهِمْ إِلَى الْآبَاطِ " ، زَادَ ابْنُ يَحْيَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ : قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : وَلَا يَعْتَبِرُ بِهَذَا النَّاسُ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ فِيهِ : عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَذَكَرَ ضَرْبَتَيْنِ ، كَمَا ذَكَرَ يُونُسُ ، وَرَوَاهُ مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، ضَرْبَتَيْنِ ، وقَالَ مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ ، وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو أُوَيْسٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، وَشَكَّ فِيهِ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، قَالَ مَرَّةً : عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَوْ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَمَرَّةً قَالَ : عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، وَمَرَّةً قَالَ : عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، اضْطَرَبَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ فِيهِ وَفِي سَمَاعِهِ مِنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ الضَّرْبَتَيْنِ ، إِلَّا مَنْ سَمَّيْتُ .
Narrated Ammar ibn Yasir: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encamped at Ulat al-Jaysh and Aishah was in his company. Her necklace of onyx of Zifar was broken (and fell somewhere). The people were detained to make a search for that necklace until the dawn broke. There was no water with the people. Therefore Abu Bakr became angry with her and said: You detained the people and they have no water with them. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, sent down revelation about it to His Messenger ﷺ granting concession to purify themselves with pure earth. Then the Muslims stood up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and struck the ground with their hands and then they raised their hands, and did not take any earth (in their hands). Then they wiped with them their faces and hands up to the shoulders, and from their palms up to the armpits. Ibn Yahya added in his version: Ibn Shihab said in his tradition: The people do not take this (tradition) into account. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Ishaq also reported it in a similar way. In this (version) he said on the authority of Ibn Abbas. He mentioned the words "two strikes" (i. e. striking the earth twice) as mentioned by Yunus. And Mamar also narrated on the authority of al-Zuhri "two strikes". And Malik said: From al-Zuhri from Ubaid Allah bin Abdullah from his father on the authority of Ammar. Abu Uwais also reported it in a similar way on the authority of al-Zuhri. But Ibn Uyainah doubted it, he sometimes said: from his father, and sometimes he said: from Ibn Abbas. Ibn Uyainah was confused in it and in his hearing from al-Zuhri. No one has mentioned "two strikes" in this tradition except those whose names I have mentioned.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ ، وَمُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، وَهُوَ أَتَمُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعٌ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَر أَخْبَرَهُ " أَنّ الْمَسْجِدَ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَبْنِيًّا بِاللَّبِنِ وَالْجَرِيدِ ، قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ : وَعُمُدُهُ مِنْ خَشَبِ النَّخْلِ ، فَلَمْ يَزِدْ فِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ شَيْئًا ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ : وَبَنَاهُ عَلَى بِنَائِهِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِاللَّبِنِ وَالْجَرِيدِ وَأَعَادَ عُمُدَهُ ، قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ : عُمُدَهُ خَشَبًا ، وَغَيَّرَهُ عُثْمَانُ فَزَادَ فِيهِ زِيَادَةً كَثِيرَةً : وَبَنَى جِدَارَهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ الْمَنْقُوشَةِ وَالْقَصَّةِ وَجَعَلَ عُمُدَهُ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ مَنْقُوشَةٍ وَسَقْفَهُ بِالسَّاجِ ، قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ : وَسَقَّفَهُ السَّاجَ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : قَصَّةُ الْجِصُّ .
Abdullah bin Umar reported: The mosque (of the Prophet) during his lifetime was built with bricks, its roof with branches of the palm-tree, and its pillars with palm-wood, as Mujahid said: Abu Bakr did not add anything to it. But Umar added to it; he built as it was built during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with bricks and branches, and he changed its pillars. Mujahid said: Its pillars were made of wood. Uthman changed it altogether with increasing addition. He built its walls with decorated stone and lime. And he built the pillars with decorated stone and its roof with teak. Mujahid said: Its roof was made of teak. Abu Dawud said: Al-Qassah means lime used as mortar.

Ibn Shihab (al-Zuhr) reported on the authority of Abu Bakr bin Sulaiman bin Abi Hathmah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not make two prostrations when are made when one is doubtful until the people met him. Abu Dawud said; this tradition has also been transmitted by al-Zahidi from al-zuhr from Abu Bakr bin Sulaiman bin Abi HAthman from thre prophet ﷺ. This version goes: he did not make two prostrations on account of forgetfulness.

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ فِيهِ : فَأَبَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهَا ذَلِكَ ، وَقَالَ : لَسْتُ تَارِكًا شَيْئًا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ إِلَّا عَمِلْتُ بِهِ ، إِنِّي أَخْشَى إِنْ تَرَكْتُ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ أَزِيغَ فَأَمَّا صَدَقَتُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَدَفَعَهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ، وَعَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَغَلَبَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهَا وَأَمَّا خَيْبَرُ وَفَدَكُ فَأَمْسَكَهُمَا عُمَرُ وَقَالَ : هُمَا صَدَقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَتَا لِحُقُوقِهِ الَّتِي تَعْرُوهُ وَنَوَائِبِهِ وَأَمْرُهُمَا إِلَى مَنْ وَلِيَ الأَمْرَ ، قَالَ : فَهُمَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ .
Narrating the above tradition, Aishah added: Abu Bakr refused that to her. Her said: I am not going to leave anything the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do but I shall carry it out. I fear if I depart a little from his practice, I shall diverge (from the right path). As regards his sadaqah (property) at Madina, Umar had given it to Ali ad Abbas (Allah be pleased with them), and Ali dominated it. As for Khaibar and Fadak, Umar retained them. He said: They were the sadaqah (property) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, exclusively reserved for his purposes that happened, and for his emergent needs. Their management was assigned to the one who was in authority. He said: They are in that condition to the present day.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn Shihab (Al-Zuhri) through a different chain of narrators and to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has been transmitted by Aqil from Ibn Shihab and by Yazid bin Abi Habib from Shihab. Al-Auzai's wordings vary from those of Ibn Shihab. Fulaih bin Sulaiman also narrated the tradition like that of Malik.

Hadith 3906
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فِي إِثْرِ سَمَاءٍ كَانَتْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ، فَقَالَ : " هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ ؟ ، قَالُوا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ : أَصْبَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ ، فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ : مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ ، فَذَلِكَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِي كَافِرٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ : مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَذَلِكَ كَافِرٌ بِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ " .
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the morning prayer at al-Hudaibiyyah after rain which has fallen during the night, and when he finished, he turned to the people and said: Do you know what your Lord has said ? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: This morning there were among mt servants one who believes in me and one who disbelieves. The one who said: "We have been given rain by Allah's grace and mercy" is the one who believes in me and disbelieves in the star ; but the one who said: "We have been given rain by such and such a rain star, " is the one who disbelieves in me and believes in the star.
