    وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: مَرَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَالْعَبَّاسُ بِمَجْلِسٍ من مجَالِس الْأَنْصَار وهم يَبْكُونَ فَقَالَ: مَا يُبْكِيكُمْ؟ قَالُوا: ذَكَرْنَا مَجْلِسَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَّا فَدَخَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ عَصَّبَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حَاشِيَةَ بُرْدٍ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَر وَلم يَصْعَدهُ بعد ذَلِك الْيَوْم. فَحَمدَ الله وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أُوصِيكُمْ بِالْأَنْصَارِ فَإِنَّهُمْ كَرِشِي وَعَيْبَتِي وَقَدْ قَضَوُا الَّذِي عَلَيْهِمْ وَبَقِيَ الَّذِي لَهُمْ فَاقْبَلُوا مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ وَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْ مسيئهم» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

    He told that Abu Bakr and al-`Abbas came upon a gathering of the Ansar who were weeping, and when they asked what was making them weep they replied, “We recalled the meetings the Prophet had with us[1].” One of them[2] went in to the Prophet and told him of that and he came out having tied the border of his garment round his head, mounted the pulpit, a thing he did not do after that day, praised and extolled God most high, then said, “I recommend the Ansar to your care, for they are my intimates and confidants, they have fulfilled what was due from them , and the reward due to them remains, so accept the excuse of those of them who do well and overlook those of them who do ill.” 1. Mirqat , 5:618, explains this as meaning that they were afraid such meetings would cease if God decreed the Prophet’s death. 2. i.e., Abu Bakr and al-Abbas. Bukhari transmitted it.

    Ibn `Abbas told that the Prophet went out during the illness of which he died, sat on the pulpit, praised and extolled God, then said, “To proceed: The people will become many and the Ansar few till they will be in the same position among mankind as salt in food; so if any of you has some position of authority in which he can injure some people and benefit others he should accept the excuse of those of them who do well and overlook those of them who do ill.” Bukhari transmitted it.

    وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْر والمقداد – وَفِي رِوَايَة: أَبَا مَرْثَدٍ بَدَلَ الْمِقْدَادِ – فَقَالَ: «انْطَلِقُوا حَتَّى تَأْتُوا رَوْضَةَ خَاخٍ فَإِنَّ بِهَا ظَعِينَةً مَعَهَا كِتَابٌ فَخُذُوا مِنْهَا» فَانْطَلَقْنَا تَتَعَادَى بِنَا خَيْلُنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الرَّوْضَة فَإِذا نَحن بِالظَّعِينَةِ قُلْنَا لَهَا: أَخْرِجِي الْكتاب قَالَت: مَا معي كِتَابٍ. فَقُلْنَا لَتُخْرِجِنَّ الْكِتَابَ أَوْ لَتُلْقِيَنَّ الثِّيَابَ فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ مِنْ عِقَاصِهَا فَأَتَيْنَا بِهِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ: مِنْ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ إِلَى نَاسٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ يُخْبِرُهُمْ بِبَعْضِ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا حَاطِبُ مَا هَذَا؟» فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً مُلْصَقًا فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَكَانَ مَنْ مَعَك من الْمُهَاجِرين من لَهُم قَرَابَات يحْمُونَ بهَا أَمْوَالهم وأهليهم بِمَكَّةَ فَأَحْبَبْتُ إِذْ فَاتَنِي ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّسَبِ فِيهِمْ يَدًا يَحْمُونَ بِهَا قَرَابَتِي وَمَا فَعَلْتُ كفرا وَلَا ارْتِدَادًا عَن ديني وَلَا رضى بِالْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّهُ قَدْ صَدَقَكُمْ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: دَعْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هَذَا الْمُنَافِقِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ” إِنَّهُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ: اعْمَلُوا مَا شِئْتُم فقد وَجَبت لكم الجنةُ « وَفِي رِوَايَة فقد غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى [يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ] . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ

    `Ali said: God’s messenger sent az-Zubair, al-Miqdad and me (a version having Abu Marthad instead of al-Miqdad) and said, “Go till you come to the meadow of Khakh[1], for there is a woman there travelling on a camel who has a letter which you must take from her.” We went off racing one another on our horses till we came to the meadow, and when we found the woman there, we said, “Bring out the letter.” She declared that she had no letter, so we said, “You must bring out the letter or strip off your clothes.” She then brought it out from her tresses and we took it to the Prophet. It was addressed from Hatib b. Abu Balta’a, to some of the polytheists in Mecca giving them some information about God’s messenger. He asked, “What is this, Hatib?” and he replied, “Messenger of God, do not be hasty with me. I have been a man attached as an ally to Quraish and not one of themselves, while those of the Emigrants who are with you have relationship to them by which they guard their property and family in Mecca. As I did not have that advantage by being of their stock, I wanted to give them some help for which they might guard my relations. I am not guilty of unbelief or apostasy from my religion, or of pleasure in infidelity after accepting Islam.” God’s messenger said, “He has told you the truth,” and `Umar said, “Messenger of God, let me cut off this hypocrite’s head.” But God’s messenger replied, “He was present at Badr, and how do you know [he deserves this]? Perhaps God has looked with pity on those who were present at Badr and said, `Do what you wish,1 for paradise is guaranteed to you.’” A version has “You have been forgiven.” God most high then sent down, “You who believe, do not take my enemies and yours as friends[2].” This place was on the way from Medina to Mecca, presumably nearer Medina than Mecca. Mirqat , 5:630, says this refers to a small or large amount of good deeds and supererogatory acts. The address is in the plural. Quran; 60:1. (Bukhari and Muslim)

The tradition of Anas that he said to Ubayy b. Ka’b, “God has commanded me to recite the Quran to you,” has been mentioned in a chapter after that on the excellent qualities of the Quran.
