    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 أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَتَدَاوَلُ مِنْ قَصْعَةٍ مِنْ غُدْوَةٍ حَتَّى اللَّيْلِ يَقُومُ عَشَرَةٌ وَيَقْعُدُ عَشَرَةٌ قُلْنَا: فَمِمَّا كَانَتْ تُمَدُّ؟ قَالَ: مِنْ أَيْ شَيْءٍ تَعْجَبُ؟ مَا كَانَت تمَدّ إِلا من هَهنا وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ “. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ

    Abul `Ala’ quoted Samura b. Jundub as follows: We were with the Prophet and were taking turns out of a large bowl from morning till night; ten getting up and ten sitting down. He was asked from what it was being replenished and replied, “What are you wondering at[*]?” “It was being replenished only from here,” pointing with his hand to the sky. * Mirqat , 5:476, explains this as being addressed by Samura to Abul `Ala. Tirmidhi and Darimi transmitted it.

    Anas told that one very dark night Usaid b. Hudair and `Abbad b. Bishr talked with the Prophet about a matter which concerned them till a short part of the night had passed. They then left God’s messenger and went away, each having a small staff in his hand. The staff of one of them gave them light so that they walked by its light, and when their paths separated the other’s staff gave him light, so each walked by the light of his staff till he reached his family. Bukhari transmitted it.

    Jabir told that a Jewess belonging to Khaibar poisoned a roasted sheep and presented it to God’s messenger. He took a foreleg and ate some of it, and some of his companions ate along with him. Then telling them to withdraw their hands, he sent for the Jewess, called her and said, “You have poisoned this sheep.” She asked who told him and he replied, “This which is in my hand,” referring to the foreleg. She said, “Yes, I said to myself that if he is a prophet, it will not harm him, and if he is not a prophet, we shall be rid of him.” God’s messenger pardoned her and did not punish her. His companions who had eaten some of the sheep died, and God’s messenger had himself cupped on the upper arm because of what he had eaten of the sheep. Abu Hind who was a client of the B. Bayada, a section of the Ansar, cupped him with a horn and the edge of a knife. Abu Dawud and Darimi transmitted it.

    Sahl b. al-Hanzaliya told that on the day of Hunain they travelled for a long time with God’s messenger, and that in the evening a horseman came and said, “Messenger of God, I went up such and such a mountain and saw Hawazin all together with their women and animals, having collected at Hunain.” God’s messenger smiled and said, “That will be the booty of the Muslims to-morrow if God most high will.” He asked who would go on guard that night, and when Anas b. Abu Marthad al-Ghanawi said he would, he told him to mount. Then when he had mounted a horse of his he said, “Go forward to this ravine till you get to the top of it.” In the morning God’s messenger came out to his place of prayer and after praying two rak’as he said, “Have you seen any sign of your horseman?” to which a man replied, “We have not, messenger of God.” The announcement that the time of prayer had come was then made, and while God’s messenger was saying the prayer he began to glance towards the ravine, and when he finished, he said, “Cheer up, for your horseman has come.” They began to look between the trees in the ravine, and sure enough he had come. He came on and standing by God’s messenger said, “I went till I reached the top of this ravine where God’s messenger commanded me, and in the morning, I looked down into both ravines but saw no one.” God’s messenger asked him if he had dismounted during the night, and when he replied that he had not, except to pray or to relieve himself, God’s messenger said, “No blame will apply to you if you do no more supererogatory deeds in future*.” *Literally, “no blame will apply to you supposing you do not work (i.e., do anything) after it.” The translation above is based on the explanation given in Mirqat , 5:478. ‘ Abu Dawud transmitted it.

    Abu Huraira said: I brought the Prophet some dates saying, “Ask God for a blessing on them, messenger of God.” He took them, prayed that I might have a blessing in them and said, “Take them and put them’ in your provision-bag; and as often as you wish to take any, put in your hand and take them, but do not scatter them.” I carried such and such a number of camel loads from those dates in God’s path, eating of them and giving others something to eat. It never left my side until the day `Uthman was killed, for the bag was cut away. Tirmidhi transmitted it.

    Ibn ‘Abbas said: “One night, Quraish consulted together in Mecca. 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.

    وَعَن أبي هُرَيْرَة أَنه قَالَ لَمَّا فُتِحَتْ خَيْبَرُ أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاةٌ فِيهَا سُمٌّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اجْمَعُوا لي من كَانَ هَا هُنَا من الْيَهُود فَجمعُوا لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي سَائِلُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ صادقي عَنهُ فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَبُوكُمْ قَالُوا فلَان فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَذبْتُمْ بل أبوكم فلَان فَقَالُوا صدقت وبررت قَالَ: «هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُصَدِّقِيَّ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ وَإِنْ كَذَبْنَاكَ عَرَفْتَ كَمَا عَرَفْتَهُ فِي أَبِينَا قَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَهْلُ النَّارِ قَالُوا نَكُونُ فِيهَا يَسِيرًا ثمَّ تخلفوننا فِيهَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اخْسَئُوا فِيهَا وَاللَّهِ لَا نَخْلُفُكُمْ فِيهَا أبدا ثمَّ قَالَ لَهُم فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُصَدِّقِيَّ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكُمْ عَنهُ قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: «هَلْ جَعَلْتُمْ فِي هَذِه الشَّاة سما» . قَالُوا نعم فَقَالَ مَا حملكم على ذَلِك فَقَالُوا أردنَا إِن كنت كذابا نستريح مِنْك وَإِن كنت نَبيا لم يَضرك. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

    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. Bukhari transmitted it.
