Narated By Al-Bara : Abu Bakr bought a (camel) saddle from 'Azib for thirteen Dirhams. Abu Bakr said to 'Azib, "Tell
Al-Bara' to carry the saddle for me." 'Azib said, "No, unless you relate to me what happened to you and Allah 's
Apostle when you left Mecca while the pagans were in search of you." Abu Bakr said, "We left Mecca and we travel
led continuously for that night and the following day till it was midday. I looked (around) searching for shade to take
as shelter, and suddenly I came across a rock, and found a little shade there. So I cleaned the place and spread a
bed for the Prophet in the shade and said to him, 'Lie down, O Allah's Apostle.' So the Prophet lay down and I went
out, looking around to see if there was any person pursuing us. Suddenly I saw a shepherd driving his sheep
towards the rock, seeking what we had already sought from it. I asked him, 'To whom do you belong, O boy?' He
said, 'I belong to a man from Quraish.' He named the man and I recognized him. I asked him, 'Is there any milk with
your sheep?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Will you then milk (some) for us?' He said, 'Yes.' Then I asked him to tie the legs
of one of the sheep and clean its udder, and then ordered him to clean his hands from dust. Then the shepherd
cleaned his hands by striking his hands against one another. After doing so, he milked a small amount of milk. I
used to keep for Allah's Apostle a leather water-container, the mouth of which was covered with a piece of cloth. I
poured water on the milk container till its lower part was cold. Then I took the milk to the Prophet whom I found
awake. I said to him, 'Drink, O Allah's Apostle.' So he drank till I became pleased. Then I said, 'It is time for us to
move, O Allahs Apostle!' He said, 'Yes.' So we set out while the people (i.e. Quraish pagans) were searching for us,
but none found us except Suraiqa bin Malik bin Jushum who was riding his horse. I said, 'These are our pursuers
who have found us. O Allah's Apostle!' He said, 'Do not grieve, for Allah is with us."

Narated By Abu Said Al-Khudri : Allah's Apostle addressed the people saying, "Allah has given option to a slave to
choose this world or what is with Him. The slave has chosen what is with Allah." Abu Bakr wept, and we were
astonished at his weeping caused by what the Prophet mentioned as to a Slave (of Allah) who had been offered a
choice, (we learned later on) that Allah's Apostle himself was the person who was given the choice, and that Abu
Bakr knew best of all of us. Allah's Apostle added, "The person who has favoured me most of all both with his
company and wealth, is Abu Bakr. If I were to take a Khalil other than my Lord, I would have taken Abu Bakr as
such, but (what relates us) is the Islamic brotherhood and friendliness. All the gates of the Mosque should be
closed except the gate of Abu Bakr."

garment uncovering h is knee. The Prophet said, "Your companion has had a quarrel." Abu Bakr greeted (the
Prophet) and said, "O Allah's Apostle! There was something (i.e. quarrel) between me and the Son of Al-Khattab. I
talked to him harshly and then regretted that, and requested him to forgive me, but he refused. This is why I have
come to you." The Prophet said thrice, "O Abu Bakr! May Allah forgive you." In the meanwhile, 'Umar regretted (his
refusal of Abu Bakr's excuse) and went to Abu Bakr's house and asked if Abu Bakr was there. They replied in the
negative. So he came to the Prophet and greeted him, but signs of displeasure appeared on the face of the
Prophet till Abu Bakr pitied ('Umar), so he knelt and said twice, "O Allah's Apostle! By Allah! I was more unjust to him
(than he to me)." The Prophet said, "Allah sent me (as a Prophet) to you (people) but you said (to me), 'You are
telling a lie,' while Abu Bakr said, 'He has said the truth,' and consoled me with himself and his money." He then said
twice, "Won't you then give up harming my companion?" After that nobody harmed Abu Bakr.

the bucket from me and brought out one or two buckets (of water) and there was weakness in his drawing the
water. May Allah forgive his weakness for him. Then the bucket turned into a very big one and Ibn Al-Khattab took it
over and I had never seen such a mighty person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work, till the
people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there."

gate of Jihad, and he who is from those' who give in charity (i.e. Zakat) will be called from the gate of charity, and he
who is amongst those who observe fast will be called from the gate of fasting, the gate of Raiyan." Abu Bakr said,
"He who is called from all those gates will need nothing," He added, "Will anyone be called from all those gates, O
Allah's Apostle?" He said, "Yes, and I hope you will be among those, O Abu Bakr."

-----------------------------------------
Narated By 'Aisha : (The wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah
(Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Allah's Apostle is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing
occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of
some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Allah's Apostle, kissed him and said, "Let my mother
and father be sacrificed for you, (O Allah's Apostle), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my
life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty."
When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever
worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall
never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement: "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He
also recited:
"Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is
killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to
Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144)
The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said
(to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab
and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used
to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not
speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the
rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept
this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will
be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should
elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for
you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Allah's Apostle." So 'Umar took Abu
Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr.
Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him." 'Aisha said (in another
narration), ("When the Prophet was on his death-bed) he looked up and said thrice, (Amongst) the Highest
Companion (See Qur'an 4.69) 'Aisha said, Allah benefited the people by their two speeches. 'Umar frightened the
people some of whom were hypocrites whom Allah caused to abandon Islam because of 'Umar's speech. Then Abu
Bakr led the people to True Guidance and acquainted them with the right path they were to follow so that they went
out reciting: "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed many Apostles have passed away before him..."

I said, "Then you?" He said, "I am only an ordinary person.

Narated By 'Aisha : We went out with Allah's Apostle on one of his journeys till we reached Al-Baida or Dhatul-Jaish
where my necklace got broken (and lost). Allah's Apostle stopped to search for it and the people too stopped with
him. There was no water at that place and they had no water with them. So they went to Abu Bakr and said, "Don't
you see what 'Aisha has done? She has made Allah's Apostle and the people stop where there is no water and they
have no water with them. Abu Bakr came while Allah's Apostle was sleeping with his head on my thigh and said,
"You detained Allah Apostle and the people where there is no water and they have no water." He then admonished
me and said what Allah wished and pinched me at my flanks with his hands, but I did not move because the head of
Allah's Apostle was on my thigh.
Allah's Apostle kept on sleeping till be got up in the morning and found no water. Then Allah revealed the Divine
Verse of Tayammum, and the people performed Tayammum. Usaid bin AlHudair said. "O family of Abu Bakr! This is
not the first blessings of yours." We urged the camel on which I was sitting to get up from its place and the necklace
was found under it.

Narated By Abu Musa Al-Ashari : I performed ablution in my house and then went out and said, "Today I shall stick
to Allah's Apostle and stay with him all this day of mine (in his service)." I went to the Mosque and asked about the
Prophet. They said, "He had gone in this direction." So I followed his way, asking about him till he entered a place
called Bir Aris. I sat at its gate that was made of date-palm leaves till the Prophet finished answering the call of
nature and performed ablution. Then I went up to him to see him sitting at the well of Aris at the middle of its edge
with his legs uncovered, hanging in the well. I greeted him and went back and sat at the gate. I said, "Today I will be
the gatekeeper of the Prophet." Abu Bakr came and pushed the gate. I asked, "Who is it?" He said, "Abu Bakr." I
told him to wait, went in and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Abu Bakr asks for permission to enter." He said, "Admit him
and give him the glad tidings that he will be in Paradise." So I went out and said to Abu Bakr, "Come in, and Allah's
Apostle gives you the glad tidings that you will be in Paradise" Abu Bakr entered and sat on the right side of Allah's
Apostle on the built edge of the well and hung his legs n the well as the Prophet did and uncovered his legs. I then
returned and sat (at the gate). I had left my brother performing ablution and he intended to follow me. So I said (to
myself). "If Allah wants good for so-and-so (i.e. my brother) He will bring him here." Suddenly somebody moved the
door. I asked, "Who is it?" He said, "'Umar bin Al-Khattab." I asked him to wait, went to Allah's Apostle, greeted him
and said, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asks the permission to enter." He said, "Admit him, and give him the glad tidings that
he will be in Paradise." I went to "Umar and said "Come in, and Allah's Apostle, gives you the glad tidings that you
will be in Paradise." So he entered and sat beside Allah's Apostle on the built edge of the well on the left side and
hung his legs in the well. I returned and sat (at the gate) and said, (to myself), "If Allah wants good for so-and-so,
He will bring him here." Somebody came and moved the door. I asked "Who is it?" He replied, "Uthman bin Affan." I
asked him to wait and went to the Prophet and informed him. He said, "Admit him, and give him the glad tidings of
entering Paradise, I asked him to wait and went to the Prophet and informed him. He said, "Admit him, and give him
the glad tidings of entering Paradise after a calamity that will befall him." So I went up to him and said to him, "Come
in; Allah's Apostle gives you the glad tidings of entering Paradise after a calamity that will befall you. "Uthman then
came in and found that the built edge of the well was occupied, so he sat opposite to the Prophet on the other side.

Narated By Al-Miswar bin Makhrama : When 'Umar was stabbed, he showed signs of agony. Ibn 'Abbas, as if
intending to encourage 'Umar, said to him, "O Chief of the believers! Never mind what has happened to you, for you
have been in the company of Allah's Apostle and you kept good relations with him and you parted with him while he
was pleased with you. Then you were in the company of Abu Bakr and kept good relations with him and you parted
with him (i.e. he died) while he was pleased with you. Then you were in the company of the Muslims, and you kept
good relations with them, and if you leave them, you will leave them while they are pleased with you." 'Umar said, (to
Ibn "Abbas), "As for what you have said about the company of Allah's Apostle and his being pleased with me, it is a
favour, Allah did to me; and as for what you have said about the company of Abu Bakr and his being pleased with
me, it is a favour Allah did to me; and concerning my impatience which you see, is because of you and your
companions. By Allah! If (at all) I had gold equal to the earth, I would have ransomed myself with it from the
Punishment of Allah before I meet Him."

"Open (the gate) and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise." I opened (the gate) for him, and behold! It was
'Umar. I informed him of what the Prophet had said, and he praised Allah. Then another man came and asked me to

enter. The Prophet kept silent for a short while and then said, "Admit him and give him the glad tidings of entering
Paradise with a calamity which will befall him." Behold! It was 'Uthman bin 'Affan. 'Asim, in another narration, said
that the Prophet was sitting in a place where there was water, and he was uncovering both his knees or his knee,
and when 'Uthman entered, he covered them (or it).

Narated By 'Ubaid-ullah bin 'Adi bin Al-Khiyar : Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu
Yaghuth said (to me), "What forbids you to talk to 'Uthman about his brother Al-Walid because people have talked
much about him?" So I went to 'Uthman and when he went out for prayer I said (to him), "I have something to say to
you and it is a piece of advice for you " 'Uthman said, "O man, from you." (Umar said: I see that he said, "I seek
Refuge with Allah from you.") So I left him and went to them. Then the messenger of Uthman came and I went to him
(i.e. 'Uthman), 'Uthman asked, "What is your advice?" I replied, "Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth, and revealed
the Divine Book (i.e. Qur'an) to him; and you were amongst those who followed Allah and His Apostle, and you
participated in the two migrations (to Ethiopia and to Medina) and enjoyed the company of Allah's Apostle and saw
his way. No doubt, the people are talking much about Al-Walid." 'Uthman said, "Did you receive your knowledge
directly from Allah's Apostle ?" I said, "No, but his knowledge did reach me and it reached (even) to a virgin in her
seclusion." 'Uthman said, "And then Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and I was amongst those who followed
Allah and His Apostle and I believed in what ever he (i.e. the Prophet) was sent with, and participated in two
migrations, as you have said, and I enjoyed the company of Allah's Apostle and gave the pledge of allegiance him.
By Allah! I never disobeyed him, nor did I cheat him till Allah took him unto Him. Then I treated Abu Bakr and then
'Umar similarly and then I was made Caliph. So, don't I have rights similar to theirs?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then
what are these talks reaching me from you people? Now, concerning what you mentioned about the question of Al-
Walid, Allah willing, I shall deal with him according to what is right." Then he called 'Ali and ordered him to flog him,
and 'Ali flogged him (i.e. Al-Walid) eighty lashes.

Narated By 'Uthman : (The son of Muhib) An Egyptian who came and performed the Hajj to the Kaba saw some
people sitting. He enquire, "Who are these people?" Somebody said, "They are the tribe of Quraish." He said, "Who
is the old man sitting amongst them?" The people replied, "He is 'Abdullah bin 'Umar." He said, "O Ibn Umar! I want
to ask you about something; please tell me about it. Do you know that 'Uthman fled away on the day (of the battle)
of Uhud?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." The (Egyptian) man said, "Do you know that 'Uthman was absent on the day (of
the battle) of Badr and did not join it?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." The man said, "Do you know that he failed to attend
the Ar Ridwan pledge and did not witness it (i.e. Hudaibiya pledge of allegiance)?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." The man
said, "Allahu Akbar!" Ibn 'Umar said, "Let me explain to you (all these three things). As for his flight on the day of
Uhud, I testify that Allah has excused him and forgiven him; and as for his absence from the battle of Badr, it was
due to the fact that the daughter of Allah's Apostle was his wife and she was sick then. Allah's Apostle said to him,
"You will receive the same reward and share (of the booty) as anyone of those who participated in the battle of
Badr (if you stay with her).' As for his absence from the Ar-Ridwan pledge of allegiance, had there been any person
in Mecca more respectable than 'Uthman (to be sent as a representative). Allah's Apostle would have sent him
instead of him. No doubt, Allah's Apostle had sent him, and the incident of the Ar-Ridwan pledge of Allegiance
happened after 'Uthman had gone to Mecca. Allah's Apostle held out his right hand saying, 'This is 'Uthman's hand.'
He stroke his (other) hand with it saying, 'This (pledge of allegiance) is on the behalf of 'Uthman.' Then Ibn 'Umar
said to the man, 'Bear (these) excuses in mind with you.'

Narated By 'Amr bin Maimun : I saw 'Umar bin Al-Khattab a few days before he was stabbed in Medina. He was
standing with Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman and 'Uthman bin Hunaif to whom he said, "What have you done? Do you think
that you have imposed more taxation on the land (of As-Swad i.e. 'Iraq) than it can bear?" They replied, "We have
imposed on it what it can bear because of its great yield." 'Umar again said, "Check whether you have imposed on
the land what it can not bear." They said, "No, (we haven't)." 'Umar added, "If Allah should keep me alive I will let the
widows of Iraq need no men to support them after me." But only four days had elapsed when he was stabbed (to
death). The day he was stabbed, I was standing and there was nobody between me and him (i.e. Umar) except
Abdullah bin 'Abbas. Whenever Umar passed between the two rows, he would say, "Stand in straight lines."
When he saw no defect (in the rows), he would go forward and start the prayer with Takbir. He would recite Surat
Yusuf or An-Nahl or the like in the first Rak'a so that the people may have the time to Join the prayer. As soon as
he said Takbir, I heard him saying, "The dog has killed or eaten me," at the time he (i.e. the murderer) stabbed him.
A non-Arab infidel proceeded on carrying a double-edged knife and stabbing all the persons he passed by on the
right and left (till) he stabbed thirteen persons out of whom seven died. When one of the Muslims saw that, he threw
a cloak on him. Realizing that he had been captured, the non-Arab infidel killed himself, 'Umar held the hand of
'Abdur-Rahman bin Auf and let him lead the prayer.
Those who were standing by the side of 'Umar saw what I saw, but the people who were in the other parts of the
Mosque did not see anything, but they lost the voice of 'Umar and they were saying, "Subhan Allah! Subhan Allah!
(i.e. Glorified be Allah)." Abdur-Rahman bin Auf led the people a short prayer. When they finished the prayer, 'Umar
said, "O Ibn 'Abbas! Find out who attacked me." Ibn 'Abbas kept on looking here and there for a short time and
came to say. "The slave of Al Mughira." On that 'Umar said, "The craftsman?" Ibn 'Abbas said, "Yes." 'Umar said,
"May Allah curse him. I did not treat him unjustly. All the Praises are for Allah Who has not caused me to die at the
hand of a man who claims himself to be a Muslim. No doubt, you and your father (Abbas) used to love to have more
non-Arab infidels in Medina." Al-Abbas had the greatest number of slaves. Ibn 'Abbas said to 'Umar. "If you wish, we
will do." He meant, "If you wish we will kill them." 'Umar said, "You are mistaken (for you can't kill them) after they
have spoken your language, prayed towards your Qibla, and performed Hajj like yours."
Then Umar was carried to his house, and we went along with him, and the people were as if they had never
suffered a calamity before. Some said, "Do not worry (he will be Alright soon)." Some said, "We are afraid (that he
will die)." Then an infusion of dates was brought to him and he drank it but it came out (of the wound) of his belly.
Then milk was brought to him and he drank it, and it also came out of his belly. The people realized that he would
die. We went to him, and the people came, praising him. A young man came saying, "O chief of the believers!
Receive the glad tidings from Allah to you due to your company with Allah's Apostle and your superiority in Islam
which you know. Then you became the ruler (i.e. Caliph) and you ruled with justice and finally you have been
martyred." 'Umar said, "I wish that all these privileges will counterbalance (my shortcomings) so that I will neither
lose nor gain anything."
When the young man turned back to leave, his clothes seemed to be touching the ground. 'Umar said, "Call the
young man back to me." (When he came back) 'Umar said, "O son of my brother! Lift your clothes, for this will keep
your clothes clean and save you from the Punishment of your Lord." 'Umar further said, "O 'Abdullah bin 'Umar! See
how much I am in debt to others." When the debt was checked, it amounted to approximately eighty-six thousand.
'Umar said, "If the property of 'Umar's family covers the debt, then pay the debt thereof; otherwise request it from
Bani 'Adi bin Ka'b, and if that too is not sufficient, ask for it from Quraish tribe, and do not ask for it from any one
else, and pay this debt on my behalf."
'Umar then said (to 'Abdullah), "Go to 'Aisha (the mother of the believers) and say: "Umar is paying his salutation to
you. But don't say: 'The chief of the believers,' because today I am not the chief of the believers. And say: "Umar
bin Al-Khattab asks the permission to be buried with his two companions (i.e. the Prophet, and Abu Bakr)." Abdullah
greeted 'Aisha and asked for the permission for entering, and then entered to her and found her sitting and
weeping. He said to her, "'Umar bin Al-Khattab is paying his salutations to you, and asks the permission to be
buried with his two companions." She said, "I had the idea of having this place for myself, but today I prefer Umar to
myself." When he returned it was said (to 'Umar), "'Abdullah bin 'Umar has come." 'Umar said, "Make me sit up."
Somebody supported him against his body and 'Umar asked ('Abdullah), "What news do you have?" He said, "O
chief of the believers! It is as you wish. She has given the permission." 'Umar said, "Praise be to Allah, there was
nothing more important to me than this. So when I die, take me, and greet 'Aisha and say: "Umar bin Al-Khattab
asks the permission (to be buried with the Prophet), and if she gives the permission, bury me there, and if she
refuses, then take me to the grave-yard of the Muslims."
Then Hafsa (the mother of the believers) came with many other women walking with her. When we saw her, we went
away. She went in (to 'Umar) and wept there for sometime. When the men asked for permission to enter, she went
into another place, and we heard her weeping inside. The people said (to 'Umar), "O chief of the believers! Appoint
a successor." Umar said, "I do not find anyone more suitable for the job than the following persons or group whom
Allah's Apostle had been pleased with before he died." Then 'Umar mentioned 'Ali, 'Uthman, AzZubair, Talha, Sad
and 'Abdur-Rahman (bin Auf) and said, "Abdullah bin 'Umar will be a witness to you, but he will have no share in the
rule. His being a witness will compensate him for not sharing the right of ruling. If Sad becomes the ruler, it will be
alright: otherwise, whoever becomes the ruler should seek his help, as I have not dismissed him because of
disability or dishonesty." 'Umar added, "I recommend that my successor takes care of the early emigrants; to know
their rights and protect their honour and sacred things.
I also recommend that he be kind to the Ansar who had lived in Medina before the emigrants and Belief had
entered their hearts before them. I recommend that the (ruler) should accept the good of the righteous among them
and excuse their wrong-doers, and I recommend that he should do good to all the people of the towns (Al-Ansar),
as they are the protectors of Islam and the source of wealth and the source of annoyance to the enemy. I also
recommend that nothing be taken from them except from their surplus with their consent. I also recommend that he
do good to the 'Arab bedouin, as they are the origin of the 'Arabs and the material of Islam. He should take from
what is inferior, amongst their properties and distribute that to the poor amongst them. I also recommend him
concerning Allah's and His Apostle's protectees (i.e. Dhimmis) to fulfil their contracts and to fight for them and not to
overburden them with what is beyond their ability." So when 'Umar expired, we carried him out and set out walking.
'Abdullah bin 'Umar greeted ('Aisha) and said, "'Umar bin Al-Khattab asks for the permission." 'Aisha said, "Bring
him in." He was brought in and buried beside his two companions.
When he was buried, the group (recommended by 'Umar) held a meeting. Then 'Abdur-Rahman said, " Reduce the
candidates for ruler-ship to three of you." Az-Zubair said, "I give up my right to Ali." Talha said, "I give up my right to
'Uthman," Sad, 'I give up my right to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf." 'Abdur-Rahman then said (to 'Uthman and 'Ali), "Now
which of you is willing to give up his right of candidacy to that he may choose the better of the (remaining) two,
bearing in mind that Allah and Islam will be his witnesses." So both the sheiks (i.e. 'Uthman and 'Ali) kept silent.
'Abdur-Rahman said, "Will you both leave this matter to me, and I take Allah as my Witness that I will not choose but
the better of you?" They said, "Yes." So 'Abdur-Rahman took the hand of one of them (i.e. 'Ali) and said, "You are
related to Allah's Apostle and one of the earliest Muslims as you know well. So I ask you by Allah to promise that if I
select you as a ruler you will do justice, and if I select 'Uthman as a ruler you will listen to him and obey him." Then
he took the other (i.e. 'Uthman) aside and said the same to him. When 'Abdur-Rahman secured (their agreement
to) this covenant, he said, "O 'Uthman! Raise your hand." So he (i.e. 'Abdur-Rahman) gave him (i.e. 'Uthman) the
solemn pledge, and then 'Ali gave him the pledge of allegiance and then all the (Medina) people gave him the
pledge of allegiance.

Narated By Sahl bin Sad : Allah's Apostle said, "Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man with whose leadership Allah
will grant (the Muslim) victory." So the people kept on thinking the whole night as to who would be given the flag.
The next morning the people went to Allah's Apostle and every one of them hoped that he would be given the flag.
The Prophet said, "Where is Ali bin Abi Talib?" The people replied, "He is suffering from eye trouble, O Allah's
Apostle." He said, "Send for him and bring him to me." So when 'Ali came, the Prophet spat in his eyes and invoked
good on him, and he became alright as if he had no ailment. The Prophet then gave him the flag. 'Ali said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Shall I fight them (i.e. enemy) till they become like us?" The Prophet said, "Proceed to them steadily
till you approach near to them and then invite them to Islam and inform them of their duties towards Allah which
Islam prescribes for them, for by Allah, if one man is guided on the right path (i.e. converted to Islam) through you, it
would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels."

Apostle said, "I will give the flag (to a man), or tomorrow a man whom Allah and His Apostle love will take the flag,"
or said, "A man who loves Allah and His Apostle; and Allah will grant victory under his leadership." Suddenly came
'Ali whom we did not expect. The people said, "This is 'Ali." Allah's Apostle gave him the flag and Allah granted

"He calls him (i.e. 'Ali) Abu Turab." Sahl laughed and said, "By Allah, none but the Prophet called him by this name
and no name was dearer to 'Ali than this." So I asked Sahl to tell me more, saying, "O Abu 'Abbas! How (was this
name given to 'Ali)?" Sahl said, "'Ali went to Fatima and then came out and slept in the Mosque. The Prophet asked
Fatima, "Where is your cousin?" She said, "In the Mosque." The Prophet went to him and found that his (i.e. Ali's)
covering sheet had slipped of his back and dust had soiled his back. The Prophet started wiping the dust off his

(i.e. wealth assigned for charitable purposes) of the Prophet at Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of the
Khumus (i.e., one-fifth) of the Khaibar booty. Abu Bakr said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'We (Prophets), our property is
not inherited, and whatever we leave is Sadaqa, but Muhammad's Family can eat from this property, i.e. Allah's
property, but they have no right to take more than the food they need.' By Allah! I will not bring any change in
dealing with the Sadaqa of the Prophet (and will keep them) as they used to be observed in his (i.e. the Prophet's)
life-time, and I will dispose with it as Allah's Apostle used to do," Then 'Ali said, "I testify that None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle," and added, "O Abu Bakr! We acknowledge your
superiority." Then he (i.e. 'Ali) mentioned their own relationship to Allah's Apostle and their right. Abu Bakr then
spoke saying, "By Allah in Whose Hands my life is. I love to do good to the relatives of Allah's Apostle rather than to
my own relatives" Abu Bark added: Look at Muhammad through his family (i.e. if you are no good to his family you

Narated By Abu Said Al-Khudri : Allah's Apostle addressed the people saying, "Allah has given option to a slave to
choose this world or what is with Him. The slave has chosen what is with Allah." Abu Bakr wept, and we were
astonished at his weeping caused by what the Prophet mentioned as to a Slave (of Allah) who had been offered a
choice, (we learned later on) that Allah's Apostle himself was the person who was given the choice, and that Abu
Bakr knew best of all of us. Allah's Apostle added, "The person who has favoured me most of all both with his
company and wealth, is Abu Bakr. If I were to take a Khalil other than my Lord, I would have taken Abu Bakr as
such, but (what relates us) is the Islamic brotherhood and friendliness. All the gates of the Mosque should be
closed except the gate of Abu Bakr."

talked to him harshly and then regretted that, and requested him to forgive me, but he refused. This is why I have
come to you." The Prophet said thrice, "O Abu Bakr! May Allah forgive you." In the meanwhile, 'Umar regretted (his
refusal of Abu Bakr's excuse) and went to Abu Bakr's house and asked if Abu Bakr was there. They replied in the
negative. So he came to the Prophet and greeted him, but signs of displeasure appeared on the face of the
Prophet till Abu Bakr pitied ('Umar), so he knelt and said twice, "O Allah's Apostle! By Allah! I was more unjust to him
(than he to me)." The Prophet said, "Allah sent me (as a Prophet) to you (people) but you said (to me), 'You are
telling a lie,' while Abu Bakr said, 'He has said the truth,' and consoled me with himself and his money." He then said
twice, "Won't you then give up harming my companion?" After that nobody harmed Abu Bakr.

Narated By 'Aisha : (The wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah
(Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Allah's Apostle is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing
occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of
some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Allah's Apostle, kissed him and said, "Let my mother
and father be sacrificed for you, (O Allah's Apostle), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my
life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty."
When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever
worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall
never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement: "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He
also recited:
"Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is
killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to
Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144)
The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said
(to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab
and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used
to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not
speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the
rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept
this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will
be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should
elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for
you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Allah's Apostle." So 'Umar took Abu
Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr.
Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him." 'Aisha said (in another
narration), ("When the Prophet was on his death-bed) he looked up and said thrice, (Amongst) the Highest
Companion (See Qur'an 4.69) 'Aisha said, Allah benefited the people by their two speeches. 'Umar frightened the
people some of whom were hypocrites whom Allah caused to abandon Islam because of 'Umar's speech. Then Abu
Bakr led the people to True Guidance and acquainted them with the right path they were to follow so that they went
out reciting: "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed many Apostles have passed away before him..."

Narated By 'Aisha : We went out with Allah's Apostle on one of his journeys till we reached Al-Baida or Dhatul-Jaish
where my necklace got broken (and lost). Allah's Apostle stopped to search for it and the people too stopped with
him. There was no water at that place and they had no water with them. So they went to Abu Bakr and said, "Don't
you see what 'Aisha has done? She has made Allah's Apostle and the people stop where there is no water and they
have no water with them. Abu Bakr came while Allah's Apostle was sleeping with his head on my thigh and said,
"You detained Allah Apostle and the people where there is no water and they have no water." He then admonished
me and said what Allah wished and pinched me at my flanks with his hands, but I did not move because the head of
Allah's Apostle was on my thigh.
Allah's Apostle kept on sleeping till be got up in the morning and found no water. Then Allah revealed the Divine
Verse of Tayammum, and the people performed Tayammum. Usaid bin AlHudair said. "O family of Abu Bakr! This is
not the first blessings of yours." We urged the camel on which I was sitting to get up from its place and the necklace
was found under it.

Narated By Abu Musa Al-Ashari : I performed ablution in my house and then went out and said, "Today I shall stick
to Allah's Apostle and stay with him all this day of mine (in his service)." I went to the Mosque and asked about the
Prophet. They said, "He had gone in this direction." So I followed his way, asking about him till he entered a place
called Bir Aris. I sat at its gate that was made of date-palm leaves till the Prophet finished answering the call of
nature and performed ablution. Then I went up to him to see him sitting at the well of Aris at the middle of its edge
with his legs uncovered, hanging in the well. I greeted him and went back and sat at the gate. I said, "Today I will be
the gatekeeper of the Prophet." Abu Bakr came and pushed the gate. I asked, "Who is it?" He said, "Abu Bakr." I
told him to wait, went in and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Abu Bakr asks for permission to enter." He said, "Admit him
and give him the glad tidings that he will be in Paradise." So I went out and said to Abu Bakr, "Come in, and Allah's
Apostle gives you the glad tidings that you will be in Paradise" Abu Bakr entered and sat on the right side of Allah's
Apostle on the built edge of the well and hung his legs n the well as the Prophet did and uncovered his legs. I then
returned and sat (at the gate). I had left my brother performing ablution and he intended to follow me. So I said (to
myself). "If Allah wants good for so-and-so (i.e. my brother) He will bring him here." Suddenly somebody moved the
door. I asked, "Who is it?" He said, "'Umar bin Al-Khattab." I asked him to wait, went to Allah's Apostle, greeted him
and said, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asks the permission to enter." He said, "Admit him, and give him the glad tidings that
he will be in Paradise." I went to "Umar and said "Come in, and Allah's Apostle, gives you the glad tidings that you
will be in Paradise." So he entered and sat beside Allah's Apostle on the built edge of the well on the left side and
hung his legs in the well. I returned and sat (at the gate) and said, (to myself), "If Allah wants good for so-and-so,
He will bring him here." Somebody came and moved the door. I asked "Who is it?" He replied, "Uthman bin Affan." I
asked him to wait and went to the Prophet and informed him. He said, "Admit him, and give him the glad tidings of
entering Paradise, I asked him to wait and went to the Prophet and informed him. He said, "Admit him, and give him
the glad tidings of entering Paradise after a calamity that will befall him." So I went up to him and said to him, "Come
in; Allah's Apostle gives you the glad tidings of entering Paradise after a calamity that will befall you. "Uthman then
came in and found that the built edge of the well was occupied, so he sat opposite to the Prophet on the other side.

his way. No doubt, the people are talking much about Al-Walid." 'Uthman said, "Did you receive your knowledge
directly from Allah's Apostle ?" I said, "No, but his knowledge did reach me and it reached (even) to a virgin in her
seclusion." 'Uthman said, "And then Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and I was amongst those who followed
Allah and His Apostle and I believed in what ever he (i.e. the Prophet) was sent with, and participated in two
migrations, as you have said, and I enjoyed the company of Allah's Apostle and gave the pledge of allegiance him.
By Allah! I never disobeyed him, nor did I cheat him till Allah took him unto Him. Then I treated Abu Bakr and then
'Umar similarly and then I was made Caliph. So, don't I have rights similar to theirs?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then
what are these talks reaching me from you people? Now, concerning what you mentioned about the question of Al-
Walid, Allah willing, I shall deal with him according to what is right." Then he called 'Ali and ordered him to flog him,
and 'Ali flogged him (i.e. Al-Walid) eighty lashes.

Narated By Anas : Allah's Apostle ascended the (mountain) of Uhud with Abu Bakr and 'Uthman and it shook.
Allah's Apostle said, "Be calm, O Uhud!" I think he stroked it with his foot and added, "There is none on you but a
Prophet, a Siddiq and two martyrs." (The two martyrs were Umar and Uthman) (See Hadith No. 24)

Narated By 'Uthman : (The son of Muhib) An Egyptian who came and performed the Hajj to the Kaba saw some
people sitting. He enquire, "Who are these people?" Somebody said, "They are the tribe of Quraish." He said, "Who
is the old man sitting amongst them?" The people replied, "He is 'Abdullah bin 'Umar." He said, "O Ibn Umar! I want
to ask you about something; please tell me about it. Do you know that 'Uthman fled away on the day (of the battle)
of Uhud?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." The (Egyptian) man said, "Do you know that 'Uthman was absent on the day (of
the battle) of Badr and did not join it?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." The man said, "Do you know that he failed to attend
the Ar Ridwan pledge and did not witness it (i.e. Hudaibiya pledge of allegiance)?" Ibn 'Umar said, "Yes." The man
said, "Allahu Akbar!" Ibn 'Umar said, "Let me explain to you (all these three things). As for his flight on the day of
Uhud, I testify that Allah has excused him and forgiven him; and as for his absence from the battle of Badr, it was
due to the fact that the daughter of Allah's Apostle was his wife and she was sick then. Allah's Apostle said to him,
"You will receive the same reward and share (of the booty) as anyone of those who participated in the battle of
Badr (if you stay with her).' As for his absence from the Ar-Ridwan pledge of allegiance, had there been any person
in Mecca more respectable than 'Uthman (to be sent as a representative). Allah's Apostle would have sent him
instead of him. No doubt, Allah's Apostle had sent him, and the incident of the Ar-Ridwan pledge of Allegiance
happened after 'Uthman had gone to Mecca. Allah's Apostle held out his right hand saying, 'This is 'Uthman's hand.'
He stroke his (other) hand with it saying, 'This (pledge of allegiance) is on the behalf of 'Uthman.' Then Ibn 'Umar
said to the man, 'Bear (these) excuses in mind with you.'

-----------------------------------------
Narated By 'Amr bin Maimun : I saw 'Umar bin Al-Khattab a few days before he was stabbed in Medina. He was
standing with Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman and 'Uthman bin Hunaif to whom he said, "What have you done? Do you think
that you have imposed more taxation on the land (of As-Swad i.e. 'Iraq) than it can bear?" They replied, "We have
imposed on it what it can bear because of its great yield." 'Umar again said, "Check whether you have imposed on
the land what it can not bear." They said, "No, (we haven't)." 'Umar added, "If Allah should keep me alive I will let the
widows of Iraq need no men to support them after me." But only four days had elapsed when he was stabbed (to
death). The day he was stabbed, I was standing and there was nobody between me and him (i.e. Umar) except
Abdullah bin 'Abbas. Whenever Umar passed between the two rows, he would say, "Stand in straight lines."
When he saw no defect (in the rows), he would go forward and start the prayer with Takbir. He would recite Surat
Yusuf or An-Nahl or the like in the first Rak'a so that the people may have the time to Join the prayer. As soon as
he said Takbir, I heard him saying, "The dog has killed or eaten me," at the time he (i.e. the murderer) stabbed him.
A non-Arab infidel proceeded on carrying a double-edged knife and stabbing all the persons he passed by on the
right and left (till) he stabbed thirteen persons out of whom seven died. When one of the Muslims saw that, he threw
a cloak on him. Realizing that he had been captured, the non-Arab infidel killed himself, 'Umar held the hand of
'Abdur-Rahman bin Auf and let him lead the prayer.
Those who were standing by the side of 'Umar saw what I saw, but the people who were in the other parts of the
Mosque did not see anything, but they lost the voice of 'Umar and they were saying, "Subhan Allah! Subhan Allah!
(i.e. Glorified be Allah)." Abdur-Rahman bin Auf led the people a short prayer. When they finished the prayer, 'Umar
said, "O Ibn 'Abbas! Find out who attacked me." Ibn 'Abbas kept on looking here and there for a short time and
came to say. "The slave of Al Mughira." On that 'Umar said, "The craftsman?" Ibn 'Abbas said, "Yes." 'Umar said,
"May Allah curse him. I did not treat him unjustly. All the Praises are for Allah Who has not caused me to die at the
hand of a man who claims himself to be a Muslim. No doubt, you and your father (Abbas) used to love to have more
non-Arab infidels in Medina." Al-Abbas had the greatest number of slaves. Ibn 'Abbas said to 'Umar. "If you wish, we
will do." He meant, "If you wish we will kill them." 'Umar said, "You are mistaken (for you can't kill them) after they
have spoken your language, prayed towards your Qibla, and performed Hajj like yours."
Then Umar was carried to his house, and we went along with him, and the people were as if they had never
suffered a calamity before. Some said, "Do not worry (he will be Alright soon)." Some said, "We are afraid (that he
will die)." Then an infusion of dates was brought to him and he drank it but it came out (of the wound) of his belly.
Then milk was brought to him and he drank it, and it also came out of his belly. The people realized that he would
die. We went to him, and the people came, praising him. A young man came saying, "O chief of the believers!
Receive the glad tidings from Allah to you due to your company with Allah's Apostle and your superiority in Islam
which you know. Then you became the ruler (i.e. Caliph) and you ruled with justice and finally you have been
martyred." 'Umar said, "I wish that all these privileges will counterbalance (my shortcomings) so that I will neither
lose nor gain anything."
When the young man turned back to leave, his clothes seemed to be touching the ground. 'Umar said, "Call the
young man back to me." (When he came back) 'Umar said, "O son of my brother! Lift your clothes, for this will keep
your clothes clean and save you from the Punishment of your Lord." 'Umar further said, "O 'Abdullah bin 'Umar! See
how much I am in debt to others." When the debt was checked, it amounted to approximately eighty-six thousand.
'Umar said, "If the property of 'Umar's family covers the debt, then pay the debt thereof; otherwise request it from
Bani 'Adi bin Ka'b, and if that too is not sufficient, ask for it from Quraish tribe, and do not ask for it from any one
else, and pay this debt on my behalf."
'Umar then said (to 'Abdullah), "Go to 'Aisha (the mother of the believers) and say: "Umar is paying his salutation to
you. But don't say: 'The chief of the believers,' because today I am not the chief of the believers. And say: "Umar
bin Al-Khattab asks the permission to be buried with his two companions (i.e. the Prophet, and Abu Bakr)." Abdullah
greeted 'Aisha and asked for the permission for entering, and then entered to her and found her sitting and
weeping. He said to her, "'Umar bin Al-Khattab is paying his salutations to you, and asks the permission to be
buried with his two companions." She said, "I had the idea of having this place for myself, but today I prefer Umar to
myself." When he returned it was said (to 'Umar), "'Abdullah bin 'Umar has come." 'Umar said, "Make me sit up."
Somebody supported him against his body and 'Umar asked ('Abdullah), "What news do you have?" He said, "O
chief of the believers! It is as you wish. She has given the permission." 'Umar said, "Praise be to Allah, there was
nothing more important to me than this. So when I die, take me, and greet 'Aisha and say: "Umar bin Al-Khattab
asks the permission (to be buried with the Prophet), and if she gives the permission, bury me there, and if she
refuses, then take me to the grave-yard of the Muslims."
Then Hafsa (the mother of the believers) came with many other women walking with her. When we saw her, we went
away. She went in (to 'Umar) and wept there for sometime. When the men asked for permission to enter, she went
into another place, and we heard her weeping inside. The people said (to 'Umar), "O chief of the believers! Appoint
a successor." Umar said, "I do not find anyone more suitable for the job than the following persons or group whom
Allah's Apostle had been pleased with before he died." Then 'Umar mentioned 'Ali, 'Uthman, AzZubair, Talha, Sad
and 'Abdur-Rahman (bin Auf) and said, "Abdullah bin 'Umar will be a witness to you, but he will have no share in the
rule. His being a witness will compensate him for not sharing the right of ruling. If Sad becomes the ruler, it will be
alright: otherwise, whoever becomes the ruler should seek his help, as I have not dismissed him because of
disability or dishonesty." 'Umar added, "I recommend that my successor takes care of the early emigrants; to know
their rights and protect their honour and sacred things.
I also recommend that he be kind to the Ansar who had lived in Medina before the emigrants and Belief had
entered their hearts before them. I recommend that the (ruler) should accept the good of the righteous among them
and excuse their wrong-doers, and I recommend that he should do good to all the people of the towns (Al-Ansar),
as they are the protectors of Islam and the source of wealth and the source of annoyance to the enemy. I also
recommend that nothing be taken from them except from their surplus with their consent. I also recommend that he
do good to the 'Arab bedouin, as they are the origin of the 'Arabs and the material of Islam. He should take from
what is inferior, amongst their properties and distribute that to the poor amongst them. I also recommend him
concerning Allah's and His Apostle's protectees (i.e. Dhimmis) to fulfil their contracts and to fight for them and not to
overburden them with what is beyond their ability." So when 'Umar expired, we carried him out and set out walking.
'Abdullah bin 'Umar greeted ('Aisha) and said, "'Umar bin Al-Khattab asks for the permission." 'Aisha said, "Bring
him in." He was brought in and buried beside his two companions.
When he was buried, the group (recommended by 'Umar) held a meeting. Then 'Abdur-Rahman said, " Reduce the
candidates for ruler-ship to three of you." Az-Zubair said, "I give up my right to Ali." Talha said, "I give up my right to
'Uthman," Sad, 'I give up my right to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf." 'Abdur-Rahman then said (to 'Uthman and 'Ali), "Now
which of you is willing to give up his right of candidacy to that he may choose the better of the (remaining) two,
bearing in mind that Allah and Islam will be his witnesses." So both the sheiks (i.e. 'Uthman and 'Ali) kept silent.
'Abdur-Rahman said, "Will you both leave this matter to me, and I take Allah as my Witness that I will not choose but
the better of you?" They said, "Yes." So 'Abdur-Rahman took the hand of one of them (i.e. 'Ali) and said, "You are
related to Allah's Apostle and one of the earliest Muslims as you know well. So I ask you by Allah to promise that if I
select you as a ruler you will do justice, and if I select 'Uthman as a ruler you will listen to him and obey him." Then
he took the other (i.e. 'Uthman) aside and said the same to him. When 'Abdur-Rahman secured (their agreement
to) this covenant, he said, "O 'Uthman! Raise your hand." So he (i.e. 'Abdur-Rahman) gave him (i.e. 'Uthman) the
solemn pledge, and then 'Ali gave him the pledge of allegiance and then all the (Medina) people gave him the
pledge of allegiance.

Narated By Sahl bin Sad : Allah's Apostle said, "Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man with whose leadership Allah
will grant (the Muslim) victory." So the people kept on thinking the whole night as to who would be given the flag.
The next morning the people went to Allah's Apostle and every one of them hoped that he would be given the flag.
The Prophet said, "Where is Ali bin Abi Talib?" The people replied, "He is suffering from eye trouble, O Allah's
Apostle." He said, "Send for him and bring him to me." So when 'Ali came, the Prophet spat in his eyes and invoked
good on him, and he became alright as if he had no ailment. The Prophet then gave him the flag. 'Ali said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Shall I fight them (i.e. enemy) till they become like us?" The Prophet said, "Proceed to them steadily
till you approach near to them and then invite them to Islam and inform them of their duties towards Allah which
Islam prescribes for them, for by Allah, if one man is guided on the right path (i.e. converted to Islam) through you, it
would be better for you than (a great number of) red camels."

Apostle said, "I will give the flag (to a man), or tomorrow a man whom Allah and His Apostle love will take the flag,"
or said, "A man who loves Allah and His Apostle; and Allah will grant victory under his leadership." Suddenly came
'Ali whom we did not expect. The people said, "This is 'Ali." Allah's Apostle gave him the flag and Allah granted
victory under his leadership.

"He calls him (i.e. 'Ali) Abu Turab." Sahl laughed and said, "By Allah, none but the Prophet called him by this name
and no name was dearer to 'Ali than this." So I asked Sahl to tell me more, saying, "O Abu 'Abbas! How (was this
name given to 'Ali)?" Sahl said, "'Ali went to Fatima and then came out and slept in the Mosque. The Prophet asked
Fatima, "Where is your cousin?" She said, "In the Mosque." The Prophet went to him and found that his (i.e. Ali's)
covering sheet had slipped of his back and dust had soiled his back. The Prophet started wiping the dust off his
back and said twice, "Get up! O Abu Turab (i.e. O. man with the dust)."

good deeds and said, "It is all true, and that is his house in the midst of the houses of the Prophet. Perhaps these
facts have hurt you?" The questioner said, "Yes." Ibn 'Umar said, "May Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e.

us, while we had gone to our bed I wanted to get up but the Prophet said, "Remain at your place". Then he sat
down between us till I found the coolness of his feet on my chest. Then he said, "Shall I teach you a thing which is
better than what you have asked me? When you go to bed, say, 'Allahu-Akbar' thirty-four times, and 'Subhan Allah
thirty-three times, and 'Alhamdu-lillah thirty-three times for that is better for you both than a servant."

gravel because of hunger, and I used to ask a man to recite a Qur'anic Verse to me although I knew it, so that he
would take me to his home and feed me. And the most generous of all the people to the poor was Ja'far bin Abi

Narated By 'Aisha : Fatima sent somebody to Abu Bakr asking him to give her her inheritance from the Prophet
from what Allah had given to His Apostle through Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting). She asked for the Sadaqa
(i.e. wealth assigned for charitable purposes) of the Prophet at Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of the
Khumus (i.e., one-fifth) of the Khaibar booty. Abu Bakr said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'We (Prophets), our property is
not inherited, and whatever we leave is Sadaqa, but Muhammad's Family can eat from this property, i.e. Allah's
property, but they have no right to take more than the food they need.' By Allah! I will not bring any change in
dealing with the Sadaqa of the Prophet (and will keep them) as they used to be observed in his (i.e. the Prophet's)
life-time, and I will dispose with it as Allah's Apostle used to do," Then 'Ali said, "I testify that None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle," and added, "O Abu Bakr! We acknowledge your
superiority." Then he (i.e. 'Ali) mentioned their own relationship to Allah's Apostle and their right. Abu Bakr then
spoke saying, "By Allah in Whose Hands my life is. I love to do good to the relatives of Allah's Apostle rather than to
my own relatives" Abu Bark added: Look at Muhammad through his family (i.e. if you are no good to his family you
are not good to him).

Tashah-hud. I heard him saying, "Then after! I married one of my daughters to Abu Al-'As bin Al-Rabi' (the husband
of Zainab, the daughter of the Prophet) before Islam and he proved truthful in whatever he said to me. No doubt,

Narated By 'Aisha : The people of the Quraish tribe were worried about the Makhzumiya woman. They said.

'Aisha said, "A woman from Bani Makhzumiya committed a theft and the people said, 'Who can intercede with the
Prophet for her?' So nobody dared speak to him (i.e. the Prophet) but Usama bin Zaid spoke to him. The Prophet
said, 'If a reputable man amongst the children of Bani Israel committed a theft, they used to forgive him, but if a
poor man committed a theft, they would cut his hand. But I would cut even the hand of Fatima (i.e. the daughter of
the Prophet) if she committed a theft."
