Hadith 2261
وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ، وَالرُّؤْيَا السَّوْءُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ، فَمَنْ رَأَى رُؤْيَا فَكَرِهَ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ، فَلْيَنْفُثْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لَا تَضُرُّهُ ، وَلَا يُخْبِرْ بِهَا أَحَدًا ، فَإِنْ رَأَى رُؤْيَا حَسَنَةً ، فَلْيُبْشِرْ وَلَا يُخْبِرْ إِلَّا مَنْ يُحِبُّ " .
Abu Qatadah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The good vision are from Allah and the evil dreams are from the satan. If one sees a dream which one does not like, one should spit on one's left side and seek the refuge of Allah from the satan; it will not do one any harm, and one should not disclose it to anyone and if one sees a good vision one should feel pleased but should not disclose it to anyone but whom one loves.

I saw water spouting from his fingers and the people performing ablution until the last amongst them performed it.

He again gave him one hundred camels, and then again gave him one hundred camels. Sa'id bin Musayyib said that Safwan told him: (By Allah) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave me what he gave me (and my state of mind at that time was) that he was the most detested person amongst people in my eyes. But he continued giving to me until now he is the dearest of people to me.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying Prophet (ﷺ) Ibrahim (peace be upon him) never told a lie but only thrice: two times for the sake of Allah (for example, his words): "I am sick," and his words: "But it was the big one amongst them which has done that" and because of Sara (his wife). He had come in a land inhabited by haughty and cruel men along with Sara. She was very good-looking amongst the people, so he said to her: If these were to know that you are my wife they would snatch you away from me, so if they ask you tell that you are my sister and in fact you are my sister in Islam, and I do not know of any other Muslim in this land besides I and you. And when they entered that land the tyrants came to see her and said to him (the king): 'there comes to your land a woman, whom you alone deserve to possess, so he (the king sent someone (towards her) and she was brought and Ibrahim (peace be upon him) stood in prayer, and when she visited him, the tyrant king came and he could not help but stretch his hand towards her and his hand was tied up. He said: Supplicate Allah so that He may release my hand and I will do no harm to you. She did that and the man repeated (the same high handedness) and his hand was again tied up more tightly than on the first occasion and he said to her like that and she again did that (supplicated), but he repeated (the same highhandedness and his hands were tied up more tightly than on the previous occasion). He then again said: Supplicate your Lord so that He may set my hand free; by Allah I shall do no harm to you. She did and his hand was freed. Then he called the person who had brought her and said to him: You have brought to me the satan and you have not brought to me a human being, so turn them out from my land, and he gave Hajira as a gift to her. She returned (along with Hajira) and when Ibrahim (peace be upon him) saw her, he said: How have you returned? She said: With full safety (have I returned). Allah held the hand of that debauch and he gave me a maid-servant. Abu Hurairah (RA) said: O sons of the rain of the sky, she is your mother.

Thereupon people said: Hallowed be Allah I Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I believe in it and so do Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar believe.

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported: Evil one is he who is evil in the womb of his mother and the good one is he who takes lesson from the (fate of) others. The narrator came to a person from amongst the Companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was called Hudhaifa bin Usaid Ghifari and said: How can a person be an evil one without (committing an evil) deed? Thereupon the person said to him: You are surprised at this, whereas I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saving: When forty nights pass after the semen gets into the womb, Allah sends the angel and gives him the shape. Then he creates his sense of hearing, sense of sight, his skin, his flesh, his bones, and then says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And your Lord decides as He desires and the angel then puts down that also and then says: My Lord, what about his age? And your Lord decides as He likes it and the angel puts it down. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood? And then the Lord decides as He likes and the angel writes it down, and then the angel gets out with his scroll of destiny in his hand and nothing is added to it and nothing is subtracted from it.

تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ قَطُّ أَقْوَى وَلَا أَيْسَرَ مِنِّي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا جَمَعْتُ قَبْلَهَا رَاحِلَتَيْنِ قَطُّ حَتَّى جَمَعْتُهُمَا فِي تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةِ ، فَغَزَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ سَفَرًا بَعِيدًا وَمَفَازًا وَاسْتَقْبَلَ عَدُوًّا كَثِيرًا ، فَجَلَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمْرَهُمْ لِيَتَأَهَّبُوا أُهْبَةَ غَزْوِهِمْ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِوَجْهِهِمُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَثِيرٌ وَلَا يَجْمَعُهُمْ كِتَابُ حَافِظٍ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ الدِّيوَانَ ، قَالَ كَعْبٌ : فَقَلَّ رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَتَغَيَّبَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ سَيَخْفَى لَهُ مَا لَمْ يَنْزِلْ فِيهِ وَحْيٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَغَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تِلْكَ الْغَزْوَةَ حِينَ طَابَتِ الثِّمَارُ وَالظِّلَالُ ، فَأَنَا إِلَيْهَا أَصْعَرُ فَتَجَهَّزَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَهُ ، وَطَفِقْتُ أَغْدُو لِكَيْ أَتَجَهَّزَ مَعَهُمْ ، فَأَرْجِعُ وَلَمْ أَقْضِ شَيْئًا وَأَقُولُ فِي : نَفْسِي أَنَا قَادِرٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ يَتَمَادَى بِي حَتَّى اسْتَمَرَّ بِالنَّاسِ الْجِدُّ ، فَأَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَادِيًا وَالْمُسْلِمُونَ مَعَهُ وَلَمْ أَقْضِ مِنْ جَهَازِي شَيْئًا ثُمَّ غَدَوْتُ ، فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَقْضِ شَيْئًا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ يَتَمَادَى بِي حَتَّى أَسْرَعُوا وَتَفَارَطَ الْغَزْوُ ، فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَرْتَحِلَ فَأُدْرِكَهُمْ فَيَا لَيْتَنِي فَعَلْتُ ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يُقَدَّرْ ذَلِكَ لِي ، فَطَفِقْتُ إِذَا خَرَجْتُ فِي النَّاسِ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحْزُنُنِي أَنِّي لَا أَرَى لِي أُسْوَةً إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَغْمُوصًا عَلَيْهِ فِي النِّفَاقِ أَوْ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ عَذَرَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الضُّعَفَاءِ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ تَبُوكَ ، فَقَالَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْقَوْمِ بِتَبُوكَ : مَا فَعَلَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ؟ ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، حَبَسَهُ بُرْدَاهُ وَالنَّظَرُ فِي عِطْفَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ : بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا خَيْرًا ، فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ رَأَى رَجُلًا مُبَيِّضًا يَزُولُ بِهِ السَّرَابُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُنْ أَبَا خَيْثَمَةَ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَهُوَ الَّذِي تَصَدَّقَ بِصَاعِ التَّمْرِ حِينَ لَمَزَهُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ ، فَقَالَ كَعْبُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ : فَلَمَّا بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ تَوَجَّهَ قَافِلًا مِنْ تَبُوكَ حَضَرَنِي بَثِّي ، فَطَفِقْتُ أَتَذَكَّرُ الْكَذِبَ وَأَقُولُ : بِمَ أَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَخَطِهِ غَدًا وَأَسْتَعِينُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كُلَّ ذِي رَأْيٍ مِنْ أَهْلِي ، فَلَمَّا قِيلَ لِي إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أَظَلَّ قَادِمًا زَاحَ عَنِّي الْبَاطِلُ ، حَتَّى عَرَفْتُ أَنِّي لَنْ أَنْجُوَ مِنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ أَبَدًا ، فَأَجْمَعْتُ صِدْقَهُ وَصَبَّحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَادِمًا ، وَكَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ بَدَأَ بِالْمَسْجِدِ فَرَكَعَ فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ لِلنَّاسِ ، فَلَمَّا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ جَاءَهُ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ ، فَطَفِقُوا يَعْتَذِرُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَيَحْلِفُونَ لَهُ وَكَانُوا بِضْعَةً وَثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا ، فَقَبِلَ مِنْهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَانِيَتَهُمْ وَبَايَعَهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمْ وَوَكَلَ سَرَائِرَهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ حَتَّى جِئْتُ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمْتُ تَبَسَّمَ تَبَسُّمَ الْمُغْضَبِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : تَعَالَ ، فَجِئْتُ أَمْشِي حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ لِي : مَا خَلَّفَكَ أَلَمْ تَكُنْ قَدِ ابْتَعْتَ ظَهْرَكَ ؟ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَوْ جَلَسْتُ عِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا لَرَأَيْتُ أَنِّي سَأَخْرُجُ مِنْ سَخَطِهِ بِعُذْرٍ ، وَلَقَدْ أُعْطِيتُ جَدَلًا ، وَلَكِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ لَئِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ حَدِيثَ كَذِبٍ تَرْضَى بِهِ عَنِّي لَيُوشِكَنَّ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُسْخِطَكَ عَلَيَّ ، وَلَئِنْ حَدَّثْتُكَ حَدِيثَ صِدْقٍ تَجِدُ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو فِيهِ عُقْبَى اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَ لِي عُذْرٌ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ قَطُّ أَقْوَى وَلَا أَيْسَرَ مِنِّي حِينَ تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْكَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ صَدَقَ ، فَقُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ ، فَقُمْتُ وَثَارَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ ، فَاتَّبَعُونِي ، فَقَالُوا لِي : وَاللَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَاكَ أَذْنَبْتَ ذَنْبًا قَبْلَ هَذَا ، لَقَدْ عَجَزْتَ فِي أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ اعْتَذَرْتَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَا اعْتَذَرَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ ، فَقَدْ كَانَ كَافِيَكَ ذَنْبَكَ اسْتِغْفَارُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَكَ ، قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَالُوا يُؤَنِّبُونَنِي حَتَّى أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُكَذِّبَ نَفْسِي قَالَ : ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُمْ : هَلْ لَقِيَ هَذَا مَعِي مِنْ أَحَدٍ ؟ ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ لَقِيَهُ مَعَكَ رَجُلَانِ ، قَالَا : مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتَ ؟ فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا مِثْلَ مَا قِيلَ لَكَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : مَنْ هُمَا ؟ ، قَالُوا : مُرَارَةُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعَةَ الْعَامِرِيُّ ، وَهِلَالُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الْوَاقِفِيُّ ، قَالَ : فَذَكَرُوا لِي رَجُلَيْنِ صَالِحَيْنِ قَدْ شَهِدَا بَدْرًا فِيهِمَا أُسْوَةٌ ، قَالَ : فَمَضَيْتُ حِينَ ذَكَرُوهُمَا لِي ، قَالَ : وَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَنْ كَلَامِنَا أَيُّهَا الثَّلَاثَةُ مِنْ بَيْنِ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : فَاجْتَنَبَنَا النَّاسُ ، وَقَالَ : تَغَيَّرُوا لَنَا حَتَّى تَنَكَّرَتْ لِي فِي نَفْسِيَ الْأَرْضُ ، فَمَا هِيَ بِالْأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْرِفُ ، فَلَبِثْنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ خَمْسِينَ لَيْلَةً ، فَأَمَّا صَاحِبَايَ ، فَاسْتَكَانَا وَقَعَدَا فِي بُيُوتِهِمَا يَبْكِيَانِ ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَكُنْتُ أَشَبَّ الْقَوْمِ وَأَجْلَدَهُمْ ، فَكُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ فَأَشْهَدُ الصَّلَاةَ وَأَطُوفُ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ، وَلَا يُكَلِّمُنِي أَحَدٌ ، وَآتِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَأَقُولُ فِي نَفْسِي هَلْ حَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ بِرَدِّ السَّلَامِ أَمْ لَا ، ثُمَّ أُصَلِّي قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ وَأُسَارِقُهُ النَّظَرَ ، فَإِذَا أَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى صَلَاتِي نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ ، وَإِذَا الْتَفَتُّ نَحْوَهُ أَعْرَضَ عَنِّي حَتَّى إِذَا طَالَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ جَفْوَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَشَيْتُ حَتَّى تَسَوَّرْتُ جِدَارَ حَائِطِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّي وَأَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا رَدَّ عَلَيَّ السَّلَامَ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : يَا أَبَا قَتَادَةَ أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ تَعْلَمَنَّ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ؟ ، قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ فَعُدْتُ فَنَاشَدْتُهُ فَسَكَتَ فَعُدْتُ فَنَاشَدْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَايَ وَتَوَلَّيْتُ حَتَّى تَسَوَّرْتُ الْجِدَارَ ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي فِي سُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا نَبَطِيٌّ مِنْ نَبَطِ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ مِمَّنْ قَدِمَ بِالطَّعَامِ يَبِيعُهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، يَقُولُ : مَنْ يَدُلُّ عَلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؟ ، قَالَ : فَطَفِقَ النَّاسُ يُشِيرُونَ لَهُ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى جَاءَنِي ، فَدَفَعَ إِلَيَّ كِتَابًا مِنْ مَلِكِ غَسَّانَ ، وَكُنْتُ كَاتِبًا فَقَرَأْتُهُ ، فَإِذَا فِيهِ أَمَّا بَعْدُ : فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ صَاحِبَكَ قَدْ جَفَاكَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْكَ اللَّهُ بِدَارِ هَوَانٍ وَلَا مَضْيَعَةٍ ، فَالْحَقْ بِنَا نُوَاسِكَ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : حِينَ قَرَأْتُهَا وَهَذِهِ أَيْضَا مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ ، فَتَيَامَمْتُ بِهَا التَّنُّورَ ، فَسَجَرْتُهَا بِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا مَضَتْ أَرْبَعُونَ مِنَ الْخَمْسِينَ وَاسْتَلْبَثَ الْوَحْيُ إِذَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتِينِي ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَعْتَزِلَ امْرَأَتَكَ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : أُطَلِّقُهَا أَمْ مَاذَا أَفْعَلُ ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا بَلِ اعْتَزِلْهَا ، فَلَا تَقْرَبَنَّهَا ، قَالَ : فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى صَاحِبَيَّ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي : الْحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ فَكُونِي عِنْدَهُمْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَتْ امْرَأَةُ هِلَالِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ هِلَالَ بْنَ أُمَيَّةَ شَيْخٌ ضَائِعٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ خَادِمٌ ، فَهَلْ تَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَخْدُمَهُ ؟ ، قَالَ : لَا ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَقْرَبَنَّكِ ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا بِهِ حَرَكَةٌ إِلَى شَيْءٍ وَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَالَ يَبْكِي مُنْذُ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا كَانَ إِلَى يَوْمِهِ هَذَا ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِي : لَوِ اسْتَأْذَنْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي امْرَأَتِكَ ، فَقَدْ أَذِنَ لِامْرَأَةِ هِلَالِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ أَنْ تَخْدُمَهُ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : لَا أَسْتَأْذِنُ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمَا يُدْرِينِي مَاذَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فِيهَا وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ ، قَالَ : فَلَبِثْتُ بِذَلِكَ عَشْرَ لَيَالٍ ، فَكَمُلَ لَنَا خَمْسُونَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ حِينَ نُهِيَ عَنْ كَلَامِنَا ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ صَبَاحَ خَمْسِينَ لَيْلَةً عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِنَا ، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنَّا قَدْ ضَاقَتْ عَلَيَّ نَفْسِي ، وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ صَارِخٍ أَوْفَي عَلَى سَلْعٍ ، يَقُولُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ : يَا كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَبْشِرْ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَرْتُ سَاجِدًا ، وَعَرَفْتُ أَنْ قَدْ جَاءَ فَرَجٌ ، قَالَ : فَآذَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ النَّاسَ بِتَوْبَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا حِينَ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ ، فَذَهَبَ النَّاسُ يُبَشِّرُونَنَا ، فَذَهَبَ قِبَلَ صَاحِبَيَّ مُبَشِّرُونَ وَرَكَضَ رَجُلٌ إِلَيَّ فَرَسًا وَسَعَى سَاعٍ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ قِبَلِي ، وَأَوْفَى الْجَبَلَ ، فَكَانَ الصَّوْتُ أَسْرَعَ مِنَ الْفَرَسِ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَنِي الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَهُ يُبَشِّرُنِي ، فَنَزَعْتُ لَهُ ثَوْبَيَّ فَكَسَوْتُهُمَا إِيَّاهُ بِبِشَارَتِهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَمْلِكُ غَيْرَهُمَا يَوْمَئِذٍ ، وَاسْتَعَرْتُ ثَوْبَيْنِ فَلَبِسْتُهُمَا ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَتَأَمَّمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَلَقَّانِي النَّاسُ فَوْجًا فَوْجًا يُهَنِّئُونِي بِالتَّوْبَةِ ، وَيَقُولُونَ : لِتَهْنِئْكَ تَوْبَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَحَوْلَهُ النَّاسُ ، فَقَامَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ يُهَرْوِلُ حَتَّى صَافَحَنِي وَهَنَّأَنِي ، وَاللَّهِ مَا قَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ غَيْرُهُ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ كَعْبٌ لَا يَنْسَاهَا لِطَلْحَةَ ، قَالَ كَعْبٌ : فَلَمَّا سَلَّمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : وَهُوَ يَبْرُقُ وَجْهُهُ مِنَ السُّرُورِ ، وَيَقُولُ : أَبْشِرْ بِخَيْرِ يَوْمٍ مَرَّ عَلَيْكَ مُنْذُ وَلَدَتْكَ أُمُّكَ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : أَمِنْ عِنْدِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : لَا بَلْ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سُرَّ اسْتَنَارَ وَجْهُهُ كَأَنَّ وَجْهَهُ قِطْعَةُ قَمَرٍ ، قَالَ : وَكُنَّا نَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ

Yunus informed me from Ibn Shihab, who said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to fight the Battle of Tabuk, and his intention was to confront the Romans and the Christian Arabs of Syria. Ibn Shihab said: ‘Abd al-Rahman bin ‘Abdullah bin Ka‘b informed me that ‘Abdullah bin Ka‘b, after Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) became blind, was the one among the sons of Ka‘b who would hold his hand and take him wherever he needed. He said: I heard from Ka‘b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) his narration when he stayed behind from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Battle of Tabuk. Ka‘b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I never stayed behind from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in any battle he fought except the Battle of Tabuk. (Yes,) but I also stayed behind from the Battle of Badr (because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, did not take everyone with him), so he did not blame anyone who did not participate in that battle. (At the time of Badr) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims set out with the intention of confronting the Quraysh’s trade caravan, until Allah caused them and their enemies to meet without a prior appointment. I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the night of the Pledge of ‘Aqabah, when we all pledged to accept Islam with him. I do not prefer participation in Badr over that (honor), even though among the people, Badr is mentioned more than that (pledge). When I stayed behind from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of the Battle of Tabuk, my condition was such that I had never been stronger physically or wealthier than at that time when I stayed behind from that battle. By Allah! I had never before possessed two mounts at the same time until that expedition, when I had two mounts ready. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) undertook that expedition in severe heat, facing a long journey through barren desert and a large enemy. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made clear to the Muslims the situation they were facing so that they could prepare fully for the battle. He also informed them of the direction he intended to go. There were many Muslims with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Their names were not recorded in any register. Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There were few who wished to remain absent, thinking that their absence would remain hidden until Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed something about them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) undertook this expedition at a time when the fruits had ripened and the shade was pleasant (because of the abundance of leaves on the trees). (Everyone wished to stay at home, rest in the shade during the day, and eat fresh fruit.) My heart was also more inclined towards this. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims with him began preparing for (jihad). I would go out in the morning to prepare with them, but would return having done nothing. I would say to myself: I can prepare whenever I want. This continued, and I kept delaying while the people became more and more earnest, until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out early in the morning, and the Muslims went with him, but I had not completed any preparation. Again, I went out in the morning and returned having done nothing, and this continued until the Muslims who were preparing to go left quickly, and those who were to participate in the battle had gone far ahead. Then I intended to set out and catch up with the people. If only I had done so! But this was not decreed for me, and my situation became such that after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had departed, whenever I went out among the people, I was greatly grieved that I could find no example (to follow for myself), except for a man who was accused of hypocrisy or someone whom Allah had excused. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not mention me until he reached Tabuk. While he was sitting with the people at Tabuk, he said: “What did Ka‘b bin Malik do?” A man from Banu Salamah said: His two (fine) cloaks and his looking at his sides have kept him back. Mu‘adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: You have spoken badly. O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, we know nothing of him but good. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. While he was in that state, he saw a man dressed in white, walking such that the mirage (in the desert) was breaking because of him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “It must be Abu Khaythamah (al-Ansari).” And it was Abu Khaythamah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), the one who had given a sa‘ of dates in charity when the hypocrites mocked him (saying: Allah is not in need of this sa‘). Ka‘b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When I heard that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had set out to return from Tabuk, I was overtaken by grief and sorrow, and I began to think of false excuses and say (to myself): How will I escape his anger tomorrow? I sought advice from every wise member of my family. When it was said to me: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is about to arrive, the idea of making false excuses left my mind, until I realized that I could not escape (his displeasure) by anything, so I resolved to speak the truth before him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in the morning. When he returned from a journey, he would begin with the mosque, pray two rak‘ahs in it, then sit with the people. When he had done so, those who had stayed behind began to come to him, making excuses and swearing oaths before him. They were more than eighty men. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted their outward excuses, took their pledge for the future, prayed for their forgiveness, and left their inner affairs to Allah, until I came. When I greeted him, he smiled as one who is angry, then said: “Come.” I walked until I sat before him. He said to me: “What kept you back? Did you not have your mount?” I said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, if I were sitting before anyone else in the world, I would have thought of an excuse to escape his anger, for I have been given the ability to argue. But by Allah! I know that if I were to tell you a lie today to please you, Allah would soon make you angry with me. And if I tell you the truth, though you may be angry with me, I hope for a good outcome from Allah. By Allah! I had no excuse. By Allah! I was never stronger or wealthier than when I stayed behind from you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “This man has spoken the truth. Get up until Allah decides concerning you.” I got up, and some men from Banu Salamah followed me, saying: We do not know that you have ever committed a sin before this. Could you not have made an excuse to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as those who stayed behind did? It would have been enough for you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sought forgiveness for your sin. (Ka‘b bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) By Allah! They continued to reproach me so much that I almost returned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to deny myself. Then I said to them: Has anyone else faced the same situation as me? They said: Yes, two other men have faced the same situation as you, and they were told what you were told. I asked: Who are they? They said: Murarah bin Rabi‘ al-‘Amiri and Hilal bin Umayyah al-Waqifi. They mentioned to me two righteous men who had participated in Badr. In them was a good example. When they mentioned them to me, I remained firm (and did not return to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade all Muslims from speaking to any of us three who had stayed behind. People began to avoid us, or he said: They changed towards us, until the earth itself seemed strange to me, and it was no longer the earth I knew. We remained in this state for fifty nights. As for my two companions, they remained in their houses, weeping. I was the youngest and boldest of them, so I would go out, attend the prayer, and walk in the markets, but no one would speak to me. I would come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when he sat with the people after prayer, greet him, and wonder in my heart whether he moved his lips in response or not. Then I would pray near him and look at him stealthily. When I turned towards my prayer, he would look at me, but when I looked at him, he would turn away. When the estrangement from the Muslims became prolonged, I climbed over the wall of Abu Qatadah’s garden (and entered it). He was my cousin and the dearest of people to me. I greeted him, but by Allah! He did not answer me. I said to him: O Abu Qatadah! I adjure you by Allah, do you not know that I love Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? He remained silent. I repeated my question, adjuring him by Allah, but he remained silent. I asked again, adjuring him by Allah, and he said: Allah and His Messenger know best. My eyes filled with tears, and I turned away, climbing back over the wall. One day, while I was walking in the market of Madinah, I saw a Nabatean from Syria, who had come to sell food in Madinah, saying: Who will guide me to Ka‘b bin Malik? The people began to point towards me, until he came to me and handed me a letter from the king of Ghassan. I could read. I read the letter, and it said: After greetings, we have learned that your companion (the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) has treated you harshly, and Allah has not made you to live in a place of humiliation and loss. So come to us, and we will treat you well. When I read it, I said: This is another trial. I took it to the oven and burned it in it. Forty out of the fifty nights had passed, and the revelation was delayed. Then suddenly, a messenger from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commands you to separate from your wife. I asked: Should I divorce her, or what should I do? He said: No, just separate from her. Do not approach her. The same message was sent to my two companions. I said to my wife: Go to your family and stay with them until Allah decides concerning this matter. The wife of Hilal bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Hilal bin Umayyah is an old man who cannot look after himself, and he has no servant. Do you dislike that I serve him? He said: “No, but he must not approach you.” She said: By Allah, he has no desire for anything. Since this matter began, he has done nothing but weep. Some of my family said to me: Why do you not ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission regarding your wife, as he has allowed the wife of Hilal bin Umayyah to serve him? I said: I will not ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission regarding her, for I do not know what he will say if I ask him. I am a young man (and can look after myself). I remained in this state for ten more nights, and thus fifty nights passed since the people were forbidden to speak to us. Then, on the morning of the fiftieth night, I prayed Fajr on the roof of one of my houses. I was in the state that Allah described, my soul constricted and the earth, vast as it is, seemed narrow to me. While I was sitting, I heard the voice of a crier from the mountain of Sal‘, calling at the top of his voice: O Ka‘b bin Malik! Rejoice! I fell in prostration, knowing that relief had come. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the morning prayer, he announced to the people that Allah had accepted our repentance. People came to give us glad tidings. A man rode swiftly to my two companions, and a man from the tribe of Aslam ran to me and climbed the mountain, and his voice reached me before the horseman. When the man whose voice I had heard came to me with the glad tidings, I took off my two garments and gave them to him as a reward for his good news. By Allah! I owned no other clothes that day except those two. I borrowed two garments, put them on, and set out to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). People met me in groups, congratulating me on the acceptance of my repentance, saying: Congratulations on Allah’s acceptance of you! When I entered the mosque, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting among the people. Talhah bin ‘Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) got up, rushed towards me, shook my hand, and congratulated me. By Allah! None of the Muhajirun stood up to greet me except him. (‘Abdullah bin Ka‘b said:) Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) never forgot this about Talhah. Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When I greeted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), his face was shining with joy, and he said: “Rejoice in the best day you have ever had since your mother bore you!” I said: O Messenger of Allah! Is this from you or from Allah? He said: “No, rather from Allah.” When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was happy, his face would shine as if it were a piece of the moon, and we knew this about him. When I sat before him, I said: O Messenger of Allah! As part of my repentance, I wish to give all my wealth in charity for Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Keep some of your wealth, for it is better for you.” I said: Then I will keep my share from Khaybar. (Ka‘b bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) I said: O Messenger of Allah! Allah has saved me only because of truthfulness, and as part of my repentance, I will never speak anything but the truth as long as I live. By Allah! I do not know of anyone among the Muslims whom Allah has blessed more for truthfulness since I spoke the truth to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than He has blessed me. By Allah! Since I said that to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have never intended to tell a lie, and I hope that Allah will protect me for the rest of my life. Then Allah revealed (these verses): «لَقَدْ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُ فِي سَاعَةِ الْعُسْرَةِ» to «يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ» “Allah has turned in mercy to the Prophet, the Muhajirun, and the Ansar who followed him in the hour of difficulty…” to “…O you who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are truthful.” and «سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا انْقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتَعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ فَأَعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَإِنْ تَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَرْضَىٰ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِقِينَ» “They will swear to you by Allah when you return to them so that you may turn away from them. So turn away from them; they are impure, and their abode is Hell as a recompense for what they used to earn. They swear to you so that you may be pleased with them, but if you are pleased with them, Allah is not pleased with the defiantly disobedient people.” Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! After Allah guided me to Islam, He never bestowed upon me a favor greater in my heart than the truth I spoke to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that I was not destroyed as those who lied were destroyed. Those who lied, when Allah revealed (the verses), He condemned them more than He ever condemned anyone. Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We three were left behind and our matter was deferred from those who swore oaths and whose oaths were accepted, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took their pledge and prayed for their forgiveness. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) deferred our matter until Allah decided concerning us, as Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: “And (He also turned in mercy) to the three who were left behind…” What Allah meant by “left behind” was not our staying behind from the battle, but that our matter was deferred and its decision delayed, unlike those who swore oaths and made excuses, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted it from them.

'Abdul Rahman al-Hubuli reported: I heard that a person asked 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'As saying: Are we not amongst the destitute of the emigrants? 'Abdullah said to him: Have you a spouse with whom you live? He said: Yes. He again said: Then you are amongst the rich. He said: I have a servant also. Thereupon he ('Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'As) said: Then you are amongst the kings.

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِيُّ ، قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ : حَدَّثَنَا ، وقَالَ حَرْمَلَةُ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَثْنَى وَثُلاثَ وَرُبَاعَ سورة النساء آية 3 ، قَالَتْ : يَا ابْنَ أُخْتِي هِيَ الْيَتِيمَةُ تَكُونُ فِي حَجْرِ وَلِيِّهَا تُشَارِكُهُ فِي مَالِهِ ، فَيُعْجِبُهُ مَالُهَا وَجَمَالُهَا ، فَيُرِيدُ وَلِيُّهَا أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا بِغَيْرِ أَنْ يُقْسِطَ فِي صَدَاقِهَا ، فَيُعْطِيَهَا مِثْلَ مَا يُعْطِيهَا غَيْرُهُ ، فَنُهُوا أَنْ يَنْكِحُوهُنَّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُقْسِطُوا لَهُنَّ وَيَبْلُغُوا بِهِنَّ أَعْلَى سُنَّتِهِنَّ مِنَ الصَّدَاقِ ، وَأُمِرُوا أَنْ يَنْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَهُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ سِوَاهُنَّ ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ : قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ اسْتَفْتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فِيهِنَّ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِيهِنَّ وَمَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ فِي يَتَامَى النِّسَاءِ اللَّاتِي لا تُؤْتُونَهُنَّ مَا كُتِبَ لَهُنَّ وَتَرْغَبُونَ أَنْ تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ سورة النساء آية 127 ، قَالَتْ : وَالَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنَّهُ يُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ الْآيَةُ الْأُولَى الَّتِي ، قَالَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا : وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ سورة النساء آية 3 ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ : وَقَوْلُ اللَّهِ فِي الْآيَةِ الْأُخْرَى وَتَرْغَبُونَ أَنْ تَنْكِحُوهُنَّ سورة النساء آية 127 رَغْبَةَ أَحَدِكُمْ عَنِ الْيَتِيمَةِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي حَجْرِهِ حِينَ تَكُونُ ، قَلِيلَةَ الْمَالِ وَالْجَمَالِ ، فَنُهُوا أَنْ يَنْكِحُوا مَا رَغِبُوا فِي مَالِهَا وَجَمَالِهَا مِنْ يَتَامَى النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا بِالْقِسْطِ مِنْ أَجْلِ رَغْبَتِهِمْ عَنْهُنَّ " ،
'Urwa bin Zubair reported that he asked 'A'isha about the words of Allah: "If you fear that you will not be able to maintain equity amongst the orphan girls, then marry (those) you like from amongst the women two, three or four." She said: O, the son of my sister, the orphan girl is one who is under the patronage of her guardian and she shares with him in his property and her property and beauty fascinate him and her guardian makes up his mind to marry her without giving her due share of the wedding money and is not prepared (to pay so much amount) which anyone else is prepared to pay and so Allah has forbidden to marry these girls but in case when equity is observed as regards the wedding money and they are prepared to pay them the full amount of the wedding money and Allah commanded to marry other women besides them according to the liking of their heart. 'Urwa reported that 'A'isha said that people began to seek verdict from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) after the revelation of this verse about them (orphan girls) and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse: "They asked thee verdict about women; say: Allah gives verdict to you in regard to them and what is recited to you in the Book about orphan woman, whom you give not what is ordained for them while you like to marry them" (iv. 126). She said: The wording of Allah "what is recited to you" in the Book means the first verse, i. e. "if you fear that you may not be able to observe equity in case of an orphan woman, marry what you like in case of woman" (iv. 3). 'A'isha said: (And as for this verse [iv. 126], i. e. and you intend "to marry one of them from amongst the orphan girls" it pertains to one who is in charge (of orphans) having small amount of wealth and less beauty and they have been forbidden that they should marry what they like of her wealth and beauty out of the orphan girls, but with equity, because of their disliking for them.
