    وَعَن حَازِم بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ حُبَيْشِ بن خَالِد – وَهُوَ أَخُو أمِّ مَعْبَد – أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أُخْرِجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ خَرَجَ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَمَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ وَدَلِيلُهُمَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ اللَّيْثِي مَرُّوا عَلَى خَيْمَتَيْ أُمِّ مَعْبَدٍ فَسَأَلُوهَا لَحْمًا وَتَمْرًا لِيَشْتَرُوا مِنْهَا فَلَمْ يُصِيبُوا عِنْدَهَا شَيْئًا من ذَلِك وَكَانَ الْقَوْمُ مُرْمِلِينَ مُسْنِتِينَ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى شَاةٍ فِي كِسْرِ الْخَيْمَةِ فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذِهِ الشَّاةُ يَا أُمَّ معبد؟» قَالَتْ: شَاةٌ خَلَّفَهَا الْجَهْدُ عَنِ الْغَنَمِ. قَالَ: «هَلْ بِهَا مِنْ لَبَنٍ؟» قَالَتْ: هِيَ أَجْهَدُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: «أَتَأْذَنِينَ لِي أَنْ أَحْلِبَهَا؟» قَالَتْ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي إِنْ رَأَيْتَ بِهَا حَلباً فاحلبها. فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ ضَرْعَهَا وَسَمَّى اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَدَعَا لَهَا فِي شَاتِهَا فتفاجت عَلَيْهِ وَردت وَاجْتَرَّتْ فَدَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ يُرْبِضُ الرَّهْطَ فَحَلَبَ فِيهِ ثجَّاً حَتَّى علاهُ الْبَهَاءُ ثُمَّ سَقَاهَا حَتَّى رَوِيَتْ وَسَقَى أَصْحَابَهُ حَتَّى رَوُوا ثُمَّ شَرِبَ آخِرَهُمْ ثُمَّ حَلَبَ فِيهِ ثَانِيًا بَعْدَ بَدْءٍ حَتَّى مَلَأَ الْإِنَاءَ ثُمَّ غَادَرَهُ عِنْدَهَا وَبَايَعَهَا وَارْتَحَلُوا عَنْهَا. رَوَاهُ فِي «شَرْحِ السُّنَّةِ» وَابْنُ عَبْدِ الْبَرِّ فِي «الِاسْتِيعَابِ» وَابْنُ الْجَوْزِيِّ فِي كِتَابِ «الْوَفَاءِ» وَفِي الحَدِيث قصَّةٌ

    Hizam b. Hisham, on his father’s authority, said that his grandfather, Hubaish b. Khalid brother of Umm Ma’bad, told that when God’s messenger was put out of Mecca he went as an emigrant to Medina, he, Abu Bakr and `Amir b. Fuhaira, Abu Bakr’s client, with `Abdallah al-Laithi as their guide. They passed the two tents of Umm Ma’bad and asked her for some meat and dates meaning to buy them from her, but found she had nothing of that nature, for the provisions were exhausted as the tribe had been afflicted with famine. God’s messenger looked at a sheep at the side of the tent and said, “What is this sheep, Umm Ma’bad?” She replied, “It is a sheep too emaciated to follow the flock.” He asked if it had any milk, and when she replied that it was too exhausted for that, he asked if she would let him milk it. She said, “You for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom, if you see anything to milk in it, milk it.” God’s messenger asked it to be brought, and wiping its udder with his hand and mentioning the name of God most high, he prayed that she might have a blessing in her sheep. It then opened its legs for him, gave a flow of milk and ruminated. He called for a vessel which could hold enough for the people and milked an abundant supply into it till the froth appeared on the top. He gave her a drink till she was satisfied and gave his companions a drink till they were satisfied, then drank himself last of all. Immediately afterwards he milked it a second time, and when he had filled the vessel, he left it with her. He contracted with her [to accept Islam] and they departed from her. It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna , by Ibn `Abd al-Barr in al-Isti’ab , and by Ibn al-Jauzi Kitab al-wafa’ . In the tradition a story follows.

    وَعَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ يُوصِي الْحَافِرَ يَقُولُ: «أَوْسِعْ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَيْهِ أَوْسِعْ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ» فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ دَاعِيَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَأَجَابَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَه وَجِيء بِالطَّعَامِ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ الْقَوْمُ فَأَكَلُوا فَنَظَرْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يلوك لقْمَة فِي فَمه ثُمَّ قَالَ أَجِدُ لَحْمَ شَاةٍ أُخِذَتْ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ أَهْلِهَا فَأَرْسَلَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى النَّقِيعِ وَهُوَ مَوْضِعٌ يُبَاعُ فِيهِ الْغَنَمُ لِيُشْتَرَى لِي شَاةٌ فَلَمْ تُوجَدْ فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى جَارٍ لِي قَدِ اشْتَرَى شَاة أَن أرسل إِلَيّ بهَا بِثَمَنِهَا فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيَّ بِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَطْعِمِي هَذَا الطَّعَامَ الْأَسْرَى» رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ والْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي دَلَائِلِ النُّبُوَّةِ

    `Asim b. Kulaib quoted his father’s authority for the following statement by one of the Ansar: We went out with God’s messenger to a funeral, and I saw him at the grave giving this instruction to the grave-digger, “Make it wide where the feet go and wide where the head goes.” When he came back, he was met by one who conveyed an invitation from the widow, and he accepted it and we went along with him. Food was brought, and when he put in his hand the people did the same, and they ate. We noticed that God’s messenger was moving a morsel round in his mouth. He then said, “I find the flesh of a sheep which has been taken without its owners’ permission.” The woman sent a message to say, “Messenger of God, I sent to an-Naqi (a place where sheep were sold) to have a sheep bought for me, but there were none, so I sent to a neighbour of mine who had bought a sheep asking him to send it to me for the price he had paid, but he could not be found. I therefore sent to his wife and she sent it to me.” God’s messenger then said, “Give this food to the prisoners.” Abu Dawud and Baihaqi, in Dala’il an-nubuwa , transmitted it.

    Jabir told that a man came to God’s messenger asking him for food and he gave him half a camel-load of barley. The man, his wife and their guest kept on eating of it till he measured it, and then it came to an end. He went to the Prophet who said to him, “If you had not measured it you would have eaten of it and it would have remained for you.” Muslim transmitted it.

    وَعَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: «من تَقول عَليّ مالم أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ» . وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا فَكَذَبَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَجَدَ مَيِّتًا وَقد انشقَّ بَطْنه وَلم تقبله الأَرْض. رَوَاهُمَا الْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي دَلَائِل النُّبُوَّة

    Usama b. Zaid reported God’s messenger as saying, “Let him who falsely attributes to me things I have not said come to his seat in hell.” That was because a man he had sent on an errand had told lies about him. God’s messenger therefore invoked a curse on him and he was found dead with his belly split, and the earth would not accept him. Baihaqi transmitted the two traditions in Dala’il an-Nubuwa .

    Unaisa, daughter of Zaid b. Arqam told on her father’s authority that the Prophet went in to visit Zaid when he was ill and said, “No harm will come to you from your illness, but how will you do if your life is prolonged after I am gone and you become blind?” He replied, “I shall seek my reward from God and show endurance,” whereupon he said, “In that case you will enter paradise without being taken to account.” She said he became blind after the Prophet died, and that God restored his sight to him before he died.

    Anas said: When we were with `Umar between Mecca and Medina we tried to see the new moon, and I saw it as I had sharp sight, but no one else claimed to have seen it. I began to ask `Umar if he could not see it, but while he could not see it, he said he would see it when he was lying on his back on his bed. He began to tell us of those who had been at Badr, saying that God’s messenger had shown them the day before where the combatants would fall. He had said, “This is where so and so will fall to-morrow, if God will; this is where so and so will fall to-morrow, if God will.” `Umar swore by Him who had sent the Prophet with the truth that they did not go beyond the limits specified by God’s messenger. He told that they were put on top of one another into a well and that God’s messenger went to them and said, “So and so son of so and so, and so and so son of so and so, have you found what God and His messenger promised you to be true? I have found what God promised me to be true.” ‘Umar asked, “Messenger of God, how can you speak to bodies which contain no spirits?” to which he replied, “You are no better able to hear what I am saying than they are, but they are unable to make any reply.” Muslim transmitted it.

    ‘Amr b. Akhtab al-Ansari said: One day God’s messenger led us in the dawn prayer, and mounting the pulpit addressed us till the time for the noon prayer came. He then descended and prayed, after which he mounted the pulpit and addressed us till the time for the afternoon prayer came.

    Abu Huraira said: When Khaibar was conquered a poisoned sheep was presented to God’s messenger and he said, “Collect for me the Jews who are here.” Then when they were collected God’s messenger said to them, “I am going to ask you something, so will you tell me the truth about it?” They replied, “Yes, Abul Qasim.” He asked who their father was, and when they replied that he was so and so he told them they lied, for their father was so and so. They said, “You have spoken truly and well.” He then said, “Will you tell me the truth about a matter if I ask you about it?” They replied, “Yes, Abul Qasim; and if we lie you will know as you did about our father.” He asked them who would go to hell and they replied, “We shall be in it for a little, then you[*] will succeed us in it.” He said, “Go off in shame into it. I swear by God that we shall never succeed you in it.” He then said, “Will you tell me the truth about a matter if I ask you about it?” and when they replied, “Yes, Abul Qasim,” he said, “Have you put poison in this sheep?” They replied that they had, and when he asked them what had induced them to do that they replied, “We wanted to get rid of you if you are a liar, for if you are telling the truth it will not harm you.” *The Pronoun is plural, indicating the Prophet and his followers.

Some said they should tie him up (i.e., the Prophet) in the morning; others said they should rather kill him; and others said they should rather expel him. God informed His prophet about that, so `Ali spent that night on the Prophet’s bed, and the Prophet went out till he came to the cave. The polytheists spent the night keeping guard on `Ali, thinking he was the Prophet, and in the morning, they rushed on him, but when they saw `Ali, God had turned away their guile. They asked, “Where is this companion of yours?” and he replied, “I do not know.” They tracked him but when they reached the mountain his tracks became confused, so they went up the mountain and passed by the cave. They saw a spider’s web at the entrance and said, “If he had entered here there would not have been a spider’s web at the entrance.” He stayed in it for three nights. Ahmad transmitted it.
