Aba Ishaq reported this hadith on the authority of al-Bara' (RA) with a slight variation of words, viz. the last sura that was revealed complete.

It has been narratedon the authority of Abu Ishaq who said: A man asked Bara' (b. 'Azib): Did you run away on the Day of Hunain. O, Abu Umira? He said: No, by Allah, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not turn his back; (what actually happened was that) some young men from among his companions, who were hasty and who were either without any arms or did not have abundant arms, advanced and met a party of archers (who were so good shots) that their arrows never missed the mark. This party (of archers) belonged to Banu Hawazin and Banu Nadir. They shot at the advancing young men and their arrows were not likely to miss their targets. So these young men turned to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he was riding on his white mule and Abu Sufyan (RA) bin al-Harith bin 'Abdul Muttalib was leading him. (At this) he got down from his mule, invoked God's help, and called out: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am the son of 'Abdul Muttalib. Then he deployed his men into battle array.

It has been narrated (through a different chain of transmitters) by Abu Ishiq that a person said to Bara' (b. 'Azib): Abu Umara, did you flee on the Day of Hunain? He replied: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not retreat. (What actually happened was that some hasty young men who were either inadequately armed or were unarmed met a group of men from Banu Hawazin and Banu Nadir who happened to be (excellent) archers. The latter shot at them a volley of arrows that did not miss. The people turned to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . Abu Sufyan (RA) bin Harith was leading his mule. So he got down, prayed and invoked God's help. He said: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am the son of Abdul Muttalib. O God, descend Thy help. Bara' continued: When the battle grew fierce, we, by God. would seek protection by his side, and the bravest among us was he who confronted the onslaught and it was the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) .

It has been narrated through a still different chain of transmitters by the same narrator (i. e. Abu Ishaq) who said: I heard from Bara' who was asked by a man from the Qais tribe: Did you run away from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the Day of Hunain? Bara' said: But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not run away. On that day Banu Hawzzin took part in the battle as archers (on the side of the disbelievers). When we attacked them, they retreated and we fell upon the booty; (they rallied) and advanced towards us with arrows. (At that time) I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) riding on his white mule and Abu Sufyan (RA) bin al-Harith was holding its bridle. He (the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was saying: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am a descendant of 'Abdul Muttalib.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Bara' with another chain of transmitters, but this hadith is short as compared with other ahadith which are more detailed.

It has been narrated on the authority of al-Bara' bin 'Azib (RA) who said: 'Ali bin Abu Talib penned the treaty between the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and the polytheists on the Day of Hudaibiya. He wrote: This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has settled. They (the polytheists) said: Do not write words "the Messenger of Allah". If we knew that you were the Messenger of Allah, we would not fight against you. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to 'Ali (RA) : Strike out these words. He (Ali) said: I am not going to strike them out. So the Prophet (ﷺ) struck them out with his own hand. The narrator said that the conditions upon which the two sides had agreed included that the Muslims would enter Makkah (next year) and would stay there for three days, and that they would not enter bearing arms except in their sheaths or bolsters

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq, who heard Bars' bin Azib (RA) say: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made peace with the people of Hudaibiya, 'Ali drew up the agreement between them, and so he wrote: Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. (This is followed by the same wording as we have in the previous tradition except the omission of the words: This is what he has settled.)

It has been narrated on the authority of Bara' who said: When the Prophet (ﷺ) was checked from going to the Ka’bah, the people of Makkah made peace with him on the condition that he would (be allowed to) enter Makkah (next year) and stay there for three days, that he would not enter (the city) except with swords in their sheaths and arms encased in their covers, that he would not take away with him anyone from its dwellers, nor would he prevent anyone from those with him to stay on in Makkah (if he so desired). He said to 'Ali (RA) : Write down the terms settled between us. (So 'Ali wrote): In the name of Allah, most Gracious and most Merciful. This is what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, has settled (with the Makkahns), The polytheists said to him: If we knew that thou art the Messenger of Allah, we would follow you. But write: Muhammad bin 'Abdullah. So he told 'Ali to strike out these words. 'Ali said: No, by Allah, I will not strike them out. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may Peace be upon him) said: Show me their place (on the parchment). So he ('Ali) showed him their place and he (the Holy Prophet) struck them out; and 'Ali wrote: Ibn 'Abdullah. (According to the terms of the treaty, next year) the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) stayed there for three days. When it was the third day, they said to 'Ali (RA) : This is the last day according to the terms of your companion, so tell him to leave. 'Ali informed the Prophet (ﷺ) accordingly. He said: Yes, and left (the city). Ibn Janab in his version of the tradition used: "we would swear allegiance to you" instead of "we would follow you".

It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas'ud who said: While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was saying his prayer near the Ka’bah and Abu Jahl with his companions was sitting (near by), Abu Jahl said, referring to the she-camel that had been slaughtered the previous day: Who will rise to fetch the foetus of the she-camel of so and so, and place it between the shoulders of Muhammad when he goes down in prostration (a posture in prayer). The one most accursed among the people got up, brought the foetus and, when the Prophet (ﷺ) went down in prostration, placed it between his shoulders. Then they laughed at him and some of them leaned upon the others with laughter. And I stood looking. If I had the power, I would have thrown it away from the back of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . The Prophet (ﷺ) had bent down his head in prostration and did not raise it, until a man went (to his house) and informed (his daughter) Fatima, who was a young girl (at that time) (about this ugly incident). She came and removed (the filthy thing) from him. Then she turned towards them rebuking them (the mischief-mongers). When the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his prayer, he invoked God's imprecations upon them in a loud voice. When he prayed, he prayed thrice, and when he asked for God's blessings, he asked thrice. Then he said thrice: O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the Quraish. When they heard his voice, laughter vanished from them and they feared his malediction. Then he said: O God, it is for Thee to deal with Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'ah, Shaiba bin Rabi'ah. Walid bin Uqba, Umayya bin Khalaf, Uqba bin Abu Mu'ait (and he mentioned the name of the seventh person. which I did not remember). By One Who sent Muhammad with truth, I saw (all) those he had named lying slain on the Day of Badr. Their dead bodies were dragged to be thrown into a pit near the battlefield.Abu Ishiq had said that the name of Walid bin 'Uqba has been wrongly mentioned in this tradition.

It has been narrated by'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) who said: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was lying postrate in prayer and around him were some people from the Quraish, 'Uqba bin Abu Mu'ait brought the foetus of a she-camel and threw it on the back of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . He did not raise his head until Fatima arrived, removed it from his back and cursed him who had done that (ugly act). He said: O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the chiefs of the Quraish. Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'ah. Uqba bin Abu Mu'ait, Shaiba bin Rabi'ah, Umayya bin Khalaf or Ubayy bin Khalaf (Shu'bah, one of the narrator of this tradition is in doubt about the exact person). I saw that all were slain in the Battle of Badr and their dead bodies were thrown into a well, except that of Umayya or Ubayy which was cut into pieces and was thrown into the well.

Abu Ishiq has narrated a similar tradition through a different chain of transmitters and has added: He (the Messenger of Allah) (ﷺ) loved to repeat the supplication thrice. He was saying: O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the Quraish (repeating these words thrice). And among the Quraish, he mentioned (the names of) al-Walid bin 'Utba and Umayya bin Khalaf. (The narrator says there is no doubt about the names of these persons but he has forgotten the name of the seventh man)

It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah that, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned his face towards the Ka’bah and invoked God's imprecations upon six men of the Quraish, among whom were Abu Jahl, Umayya bin Khalaf, Utba bin Rabi'ah, Shaiba bin Rabi'ah and 'Uqba bin Abu Mu'ait I swear by God that I saw them lying slain in the battlefield of Badr. It being a hot day, their complexion had changed (showing signs of decay).

It has been reported on the authority of Barra' who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was carrying the earth with us on the Day of Ahzab and the whiteness of his belly had been covered with earth. (While engaged in this toil) he was reciting: By God, if Thou hadst not guided us We would have neither been guided aright nor practised charity, Nor offered prayers. Descend on us peace and tranquillity. Behold I these people (the Makkahns) refused to follow us. According to another version, he recited: The chieftains (of the tribes) refused to follow us When they contemplated mischief, we rejected it. And with this (verse) he would raise his voice. ________ Book 019, Number 4443: It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq who said: I heard from Bara' a similar tradition except that he said: "These people (the Makkahns) rebelled against us."

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq who said: I heard from Bara' a similar tradition except that he said: "These people (the Makkahns) rebelled against us."

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq that 'Abdullah bin Yazid went (out of the city) with people for offering "Istisqa" ' prayer (for rainfall). He offered two rak'ahs. Then he prayed for rain. That day I met Zaid bin Arqam. There was only one man between me and him (at that time). I asked him: How many military expeditions did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) undertake? He said: Nineteen expeditions. I asked him: On how many expeditions did you accompany him? He said: On seventeen expeditions. I asked: Which was the first expedition he led? He answered: Dhat-ul-Usair or 'Ushair.

It has been narrated on the authority of Zaid bin Arqam that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fought nineteen battles and after the Migration performed only one Pilgrimage called Hajjat-ul-Wada'.

A version of the tradition transmitted on the authority of 'Urwa bin al-ja'd does not mention" reward and booty".

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Ishaq, that he heard Bara' talking about the Qur'anic verse:" Those who sit (at home) from among the believers and those who go out for Jihad in the way of Allah are not aqual" (iv. 95).

It has been narrated on the authority of Bara' who said: When the Qur'anic verse:" Those who sit (at home) from among mu'min" (iv. 94) was revealed, the son of Umm Maktum spoke to him (the Holy Prophet). (At this). the words:" other than those who have a trouble (illness)" were revealed.

Al-Bara' said: We found on the Day of Khaibar domestic asses, and the announcer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made an announcement that the earthen pots should be turned over.

Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA) reported: As we went along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from Makkah to Madinah, we passed by a shepherd and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was feeling thirsty. He ( Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA) ) said: I milked for him a small quantity of milk (from his goat) and brought it to him (the Holy Prophet), and he drank it and I was very happy.

Al-Bara' reported: When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went forth from Makkah to Madinah, Suraqa bin Malik bin Ju'shum pursued him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) invoked curse upon him, and his horse sank (in the desert). He (Suraqa) said: (Allah's Messenger), invoke blessings for me and I will do no harm to you. He (the Holy Prophet) then supplicated Allah. (At that time) he (the Holy Prophet) felt thirsty, and they happened to pass by a shepherd. Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA) said: I took hold of a bowl and milked some milk into it for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and gave it to him. He drank it and I was pleased.

Al-Bara' reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was of medium height, having broad shoulders, with his hair hanging down on the lobes of his ears. He put on a red mantle over him, and never have I seen anyone more handsome than Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) .

Al-Bara' reported: Never did I see anyone more handsome than Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) in the red mantle. His hair had been hanging down on the shoulders and his shoulders were very broad, and he was neither very tall nor short-statured. Ibn Kuraib said he had hair.

Al-Bara' reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had the most handsome face amongst men and he had the best disposition and he was neither very tall nor short-statured.

Abu Juhaifa reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having some whiteness (in hair) at this place, and Zuhair placed one of his fingers at his chin. Juhaifa was asked how old he had been at that time. He said: I made arrows and put feathers to them (i. e. I had passed my childhood).

Abu Ishaq reported: I was sitting with 'Abdullah bin 'Utba and there was a discussion about the age of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . Some of the persons said: Abu Bakr (RA) was older than Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . 'Abdullah said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died when he was sixty-three, and Abu Bakr (RA) died when he was sixty-three and so 'Umar fell as a martyr when he was sixty-three. A person from the people who was called 'Amir bin Sa'd reported that Jabir had said: We were sitting with Mu'awiyah that there was a discussion about the age of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . Thereupon Mu'awiyah said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died when he had attained the age of sixty-three, and Abu Bakr (RA) died when he had attained the age of sixty-three, and Umar fell as a martyr when he had attained the age of sixty-three.

Jabir reported that he heard Mu'awiyah say in his address that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died at the age of sixty-three, so was the case with Abu Bakr (RA) and 'Umar, and I (am now) sixty-three.

Sa'id bin jubair reported: I said to Ibn Abbas (RA) that Nauf al-Bikali was of the opinion that Moses (ؑ) (peace be upon him), the Apostle (ﷺ) of Bani Isra'il, was not the same who accompanied Khadir, whereupon he said: The enemy of Allah tells a lie. I heard Ubayy bin Ka'b say: Moses (ؑ) (peace be upon him) stood up to give sermon to the people of Isra'il. He was asked as to who amongst the people has the best knowledge, whereupon he said: I have the best knowledge. Thereupon Allah was annoyed with him that he did not attribute (the best knowledge) to Him. He revealed to him: A servant amongst My servants is at the junction of two rivers who has more knowledge than yours. Moses (ؑ) said: How can I meet him? It was said to him: Carry a fish in the large basket and the place where you find it missing there you will find him. Thereupon Moses (ؑ) proceeded forth along with a young man (Yusha'). Joshua bin Nun and Moses (ؑ) (peace be upon him) put the fish in the basket and there went along with him the young man (Yusha') until they came to a certain rock and Moses (ؑ) and his companion went to sleep and the fish stirred in that basket and fell into the ocean and Allah stopped the current of water like a vault until the way was made for the fish. Moses (ؑ) and his young companion were astonished and they walked for the rest of the day and the night and the friend of Moses (ؑ) forgot to inform him of this incident. When it was morning, Moses (ؑ) (peace be upon him) said to the young man: Bring for us the breakfast for we are dead tired because of this journey, and they did not feel exhausted until they had passed that place where they had been commanded (to stay). He said: Don't you know that when we reached the Sakhra (rock) I forgot the fisii and noth ng made me forget it but the satan that I. could nit remember it? How strange is it that the fish found a way in the river? Moses (ؑ) said: That was what we had been aiming at. Then both of them retraced their steps until they reached Sakhra; there they saw a man covered with a cloth. Moses (ؑ) greeted him. Khadir said to him: Where is as-Salam in our country? He said: I am Moses (ؑ), whereupon he (Khadir) said: You mean the Moses (ؑ) of Bani Isra'il? He said: Yes. He (Khadir) said: You have a knowledge out of the knowledge of Allah which in fact Allah imparted to you and about that I know nothing and I have knowledge out of Allah's knowledge which He imparted to me and about that you do not know. Moses (ؑ) (peace be upon him) said to him: May I follow you so that you may teach me that with which you have been taught righteousness. He said: You will not be able to bear with me; how you will be able to bear that about which you do not know? Moses (ؑ) said: Thou will find me patient, nor shalt I disobey you in aught. Khadir said to him: If you were to follow me, then do not ask me about anything until I myself speak to you about it. He said: Yes. So Khadir and Moses (ؑ) set forth on the bank of the river that there came before them a boat. Both of them talked to them (the owners of the boat) so that they might carry both of them. They had recognised Khadir and they carried them free. Khadir thereupon took hold of a plank in the boat and broke it away. Moses (ؑ) said: These people have carried us without any charge and you attempt to break their boat so that the people sailing in the boat may drown. This is (something) grievous that you have done. He said: Did I not say that you would not bear with me? He said: Blame me not for what I forgot and be not hard upon what I did. Then both of them got down from the boat and began to walk along the coastline that they saw a boy who had been playing with other boys. Khadir pulled up his head and killed him. Moses (ؑ) said: Have you killed an innocent person who is in no way guilty of slaying another? You have done something horrible. Thereupon he said: Did I not say to you that you will not be able to bear with me? He ( Moses (ؑ)) said: This (act) is more grievous than the first one. He ( Moses (ؑ)) further said. If I ask you about anything after this, keep not company with me, then you would no doubt find (a plausible) excuse for this. Then they both walked on until they reached the inhabitants of a village. They asked its inhabitants for food but they refused to entertain them as their guests. They found in it a wall which had been bent on one side and was about to fall. Khadir set it right with his own hand. Moses (ؑ), said to him: It is the people to whom we came but they showed us no hospitality and they did not serve us food. If you wish you can get wages for it. He (Khadir) said: This is the parting of ways between me and you. Now I wish to reveal to you the significance of that for which you could not bear with me. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said. May Allah have mercy upon Moses (ؑ)! I wish if Moses (ؑ) could show patience and a (fuller) story of both of them could have been told. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said that the first thing which Moses (ؑ) said was out of forgetfulness. Then there came a sparrow until it perched on the wall of the boat and took water from the ocean. Thereupon, Khadir said: My knowledge and your knowledge in comparison with the knowledge of Allah is even less than the water taken by the sparrow in its beak in comparison to the water of the ocean, and Sa'id bin jubair used to recite (verses 79 and 8O of Sura Kahf) in this way: There was before them a king who used to seize every boat by force which was in order, the boy was an unbeliever.

Thereupon his Companions looked up eagerly and he sent Abu Ubaida bin Jarrah.

He was admitted (to the company of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ)) whereas we were detained and he had been present in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) whereas we had been absent.

Al-Bara' reported that a garment of silk was presented to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . His Companions touched it and admired its softness; there- upon he said: Do you admire the softness of this (cloth)? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd bin Mu'adh in Paradise are better than this.
