    وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا خَطَبَ اسْتَنَدَ إِلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ لَهُ الْمِنْبَرُ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَيْهِ صَاحَتِ النَّخْلَةُ الَّتِي كَانَ يَخْطُبُ عِنْدَهَا حَتَّى كَادَت تَنْشَقَّ فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَخَذَهَا فَضَمَّهَا إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَتْ تَئِنُّ أَنِينَ الصَّبِيِّ الَّذِي يُسَكَّتُ حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّتْ قَالَ بَكَتْ عَلَى مَا كَانَتْ تَسْمَعُ مِنَ الذِّكْرِ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

    Jabir said: When the Prophet preached, he leaned on the trunk of a palm-tree which was one of the pillars of the mosque, then when the pulpit was made for him and he went up on it the palm-tree beside which he had preached shouted till it almost split. The Prophet therefore descended, took it, and embraced it, and it began to moan like a boy who is being calmed down till it became quiet. ‘He then said, “It wept for the mention of God which it had been accustomed to hear.” Bukhari transmitted it.

    Anas said: The people were afflicted by famine in the time of God’s messenger, and while the Prophet was preaching on a Friday a nomadic Arab got up and said, “The animals are perishing and the children are hungry, so make supplication to God for us.” He then raised his hands, and we could not see a speck of cloud in the sky, but I swear by Him in whose hand my soul is that he had not lowered his hand before the clouds were appearing like mountains and before he descended from his pulpit, I saw the rain coming down on his beard. We had rain that day, the next, the following day, and on till the next Friday. Then that nomadic Arab or someone else got up and said, “Messenger of God, the buildings are being broken down and the animals are being drowned, so make supplication to God for us.” He then raised his hands and said, “O God, round about us, but not on us.” Then he did not point to any region in the clouds without their breaking up, and Medina became like a gap[*]. The wadi had a channel flowing in it for a month, and no one came from any region without speaking of plenty. In a version he said, “O God, round about us, but not on us; O God, on the mounds and knolls, in the basins of the wadis and in the plantations.” He said: Then it stopped and we went out walking in the sun. *Meaning that Madina, unlike surrounding districts, had no clouds immediately above it or that it was like a wide, round hollow with the clouds round its edges. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Abu Sa’id al-Khudri said: We went out with the Prophet, and when we came to `Usfan he stayed there some nights. The people said, “We are serving no purpose here, our children have been left and we are not sure of their safety,” and when the Prophet heard of that he said, “I swear by Him in whose hand my soul is that there is no ravine or mountain road in Medina which does not have two angels guarding it till you return.” He then gave the order to set out, and we did so and came to Medina. Then, by Him in whose name oaths are sworn, we had not unloaded our beasts after entering Medina before the B. ‘Abdallah b. Ghatafan raided us, but nothing had roused them to do so before that. Muslim transmitted it.

    Jabir told that when the Prophet was near Medina on his return from a journey a wind arose which stirred up the sand to such an extent that it could almost bury a horseman.’ God’s messenger said, “This wind has been sent on account of the death of a hypocrite.” When he came to Medina, he found that one of the leading hypocrites had died. Muslim transmitted it.

    Anas said: A man, who had acted as secretary to the Prophet apostatised from Islam and attached himself to the polytheists, so the Prophet said, “The earth will not accept him.” Abu Talha told me he came to the land in which the man died and found him cast on the surface of the ground. He asked the reason and was told by the people that they had buried him several times, but that the earth would not accept him. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Jarir b. `Abdallah said: God’s messenger said to me, “Why do you not give me rest from Dhul Khalasa?” I told him that I certainly would, but as I was not able to keep from falling off a horse’s back, I mentioned the fact to the Prophet. He gave me such a blow with his hand on my breast that I could see the mark of his hand on it and said, “O God, make him sit firm, and make him a guide who is led aright.” After that I never fell off my horse. He went with a hundred and fifty resolute horsemen of Ahmas[*] and burned it and broke it up. *Ahmas (brave) is said to have been applied to Quraish, Kinana and Jadila of Qais because of the hardships they imposed on themselves in their religious observances in pre-Islamic times.

    He said: You say that Abu Huraira transmits much from the Prophet, but God is the One to whom account will have to be given. My brethren among the Emigrants were occupied by business in the markets and my brethren among the Helpers were occupied by looking after their property, but I was a poor man who kept near God’s messenger and was satisfied with what would fill my stomach. One day the Prophet said, “No one among you who spreads out his garment till I finish this address of mine and then gathers it to his breast will ever forget anything I say.” I therefore spread out a woollen garment which was all I was wearing till the Prophet finished his address and afterwards gathered it to my breast, and I swear by Him who sent him with the truth that up to this day I have not forgotten any of that address of his.

    Abu Huraira said: I used to invite my mother who was a polytheist to accept Islam, and one day when I had invited her and she caused me to hear something about God’s messenger which I do not care to repeat[*] I went to him weeping and said, “Messenger of God, supplicate God to guide Abu Huraira’s mother.” He said, “O God, guide Abu Huraira’s mother,” so I came out cheered by the Prophet’s supplication. When I came to the door, I found it shut, and when she heard the sound of my feet she said, “Stay where you are, Abu Huraira.” I heard the splashing of water, and when she had bathed and put on her chemise, but was in too big a hurry to put on her head-covering, she opened the door and said, “I testify, Abu Huraira, that there is no god but God, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.” I then returned to God’s messenger weeping for joy, and he praised God and said some good words. *Or, ‘of which I disapproved’ Muslim transmitted it.

    Abu Sa`id al-Khudri said: While we were with God’s messenger when he was dividing portions, Dhul Khuwaisira, a man of the B. Tamim, came to him and said, “Act equitably, messenger of God.” He replied, “Out upon you! Who will act equitably if I do not? You will be disappointed and losing if I do not act equitably.” `Umar asked permission to cut off his head, but he replied, “Leave him alone, for he has companions[1] in comparison with whose prayers any of you would despise his, and in comparison, with whose fasting any of you would despise his. They recite the Quran but it does not pass their collarbones. They swerve from the religion as an arrow goes through the animal aimed at. Their look is directed to its head, on to the sinew on its socket, on to its nadi , which is its rod, on to its feathers, but there is no sign of excrement or blood on it[2]. They will be recognised by the presence of a black man one of whose upper arms quivers like a woman’s breast, or like a piece of meat, and they will revolt against the best section of mankind[3]. Abu Sa’id said: I testify that I heard this tradition from God’s messenger, and I testify that `Ali b. Abu Talib fought with them and that I was with him. He gave orders about that man who was sought for, and when he was brought in and I looked at him, he was exactly as the Prophet had described him. A version has: A man with deep-set eyes, a projecting brow, a thick beard, high cheekbones and a shaven head came forward and said, “Fear God, Muhammad.” He replied, “Who will obey God if I disobey Him? God entrusts me with power over the inhabitants of the earth but you[4] do not.” A man asked to be allowed to kill him but he prevented him. Then when the man turned away, he said, “From this one’s stock there will be people who recite the Quran, yet it will not pass their throats. They will swerve from Islam as an arrow goes through the animal shot at. They will kill the followers of Islam and leave the worshippers of idols alone; but if I live to their time, I shall certainly kill them as `Ad were killed.” 1. People like him, or people at a later period who will acquire a reputation for piety. The reference is to the Kharijites. 2. Just as an arrow can go through an animal without traces of excrement or blood, they will abandon Islam so quickly that no trace of it will be left in them. 3. `Ali and his party. 4. The pronoun is plural, indicating the man and his people. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
