    Anas b. Malik told that Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said: I looked at the feet of the polytheists above our heads when we were in the cave and said, “Messenger of God, if one of them were to look at his foot he would see us.” He replied, “Abd Bakr, what do you think of two people along with whom God makes a third?” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    وَعَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ حَدِّثْنِي كَيْفَ صَنَعْتُمَا حِينَ سَرَيْتَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: أَسْرَيْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا وَمِنَ الْغَدِ حَتَّى قَامَ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ وَخَلَا الطَّرِيقُ لَا يَمُرُّ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ فَرُفِعَتْ لَنَا صَخْرَةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ لَهَا ظِلٌّ لَمْ يَأْتِ عَلَيْهَا الشَّمْسُ فَنَزَلْنَا عِنْدَهَا وَسَوَّيْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَانًا بِيَدَيَّ يَنَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَبَسَطْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَرْوَةً وَقُلْتُ نَمْ يَا رسولَ الله وَأَنَا أَنْفُضُ مَا حَوْلَكَ فَنَامَ وَخَرَجْتُ أَنْفُضُ مَا حَوْلَهُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَاعٍ مُقْبِلٍ قُلْتُ: أَفِي غنمكَ لبنٌ؟ قَالَ: نعم قلتُ: أفتحلبُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. فَأَخَذَ شَاةً فَحَلَبَ فِي قَعْبٍ كُثْبَةً مِنْ لَبَنٍ وَمَعِي إِدَاوَةٌ حَمَلْتُهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْتَوَى فِيهَا يَشْرَبُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ فَأَتَيْتُ الْنَبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُوقِظَهُ فَوَافَقْتُهُ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَظَ فَصَبَبْتُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ عَلَى اللَّبَنِ حَتَّى بَرَدَ أَسْفَلُهُ فَقُلْتُ: اشْرَبْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَشَرِبَ حَتَّى رضيت ثمَّ قَالَ: «ألم يَأن الرحيل؟» قلتُ: بَلى قَالَ: فارتحلنا بعد مَا مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَاتَّبَعَنَا سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَقُلْتُ: أُتِينَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ: «لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا» فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَارْتَطَمَتْ بِهِ فَرَسُهُ إِلَى بَطْنِهَا فِي جَلَدٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أَرَاكُمَا دَعَوْتُمَا عَلَيَّ فَادْعُوَا لِي فَاللَّهُ لَكُمَا أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَنْكُمَا الطَّلَبَ فَدَعَا لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَجَا فَجَعَلَ لَا يلقى أحدا إِلا قَالَ كفيتم مَا هَهُنَا فَلَا يَلْقَى أَحَدًا إِلَّا رَدَّهُ. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ

    Al-Bara’ b. `Azib quoted his father as saying he had asked Abd Bakr how the two of them had acted when he travelled by night with God’s messenger, to which he replied: We travelled all night and the following day till the midday sun offered little shade, the road being empty with no one passing on it. Seeing a tall, shady rock protected from the sun’s rays we alighted beside it, and when I had smoothed a place with my hands for him to sleep and spread a skin garment over him, I said, “Sleep, messenger of God, and I shall keep watch around you.” He went to sleep, and when I went out to keep watch around him, I saw a shepherd approaching. I asked if his sheep had any milk and he replied that they had, so I asked if he would draw some milk and he agreed, and drew a cupful into a wooden cup. I had a small skin vessel I carried for the Prophet from which he took water both for drinking and for performing ablution, so I went to the Prophet, but as I did not like to waken him, I waited for him till he awoke. I then poured some water on the milk till the bottom of it was cooled, and said, “Drink, messenger of God.” When he had drunk an amount which made me feel pleased, he said, “Is it not time to be moving?” and I agreed that it was; so, we moved on after the sun had passed the meridian. Suraqa b. Malik had followed us up and I said, “We have been overtaken, messenger of God.” He replied, “Do not grieve; God is with us.” The Prophet then prayed that he might be hindered and his horse sank with him up to its belly in hard ground. He said, “I see that you two have prayed that I might be hindered; now pray for me, for God is on your side, that I may turn away the search from you.” The Prophet prayed for him, and when he got free, he began to say whenever he met anyone, “You have been saved trouble, for there is no one here; and he met no one without turning him back. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Anas told that ‘Abdallah b. Salam heard of the arrival of God’s messenger when he was in an orchard gathering dates, so he went to the Prophet and said, “I shall ask you about three things which only a prophet knows What is the first sign of the last hour? What is the first thing the inhabitants of paradise will eat? And what makes a boy look like his father or his mother?” He replied, “Gabriel has just informed me about them. The first sign of the last hour will be a fire which will collect mankind from the east to the west; the first thing the inhabitants of paradise will eat will be the ligament of a fish’s liver; and when the man’s liquid comes before the woman’s he attracts the child to his likeness, but when the woman’s liquid comes first, she attracts it to her likeness.” He said, “I testify that there is no god but God and that you are God’s messenger. The Jews, messenger of God, are slanderous people, and if they know of my acceptance of Islam before you ask them, they will slander me.” When the Jews came, he asked, “What kind of a man is `Abdallah among you?” They replied, “Our best one and the son of our best one, our chief and the son of our chief.” He said, “Tell me what you will do supposing he accepts Islam,” to which they replied, “God preserve him from that!” `Abdallah then came out and said, “I testify that there is no god but God and that Muhammad is God’s messenger.” They said, “He is the worst of us and the son of the worst of us,” and belittled him, whereupon he said, “This is what I feared, messenger of God.” Bukhari transmitted it.

    He told that God’s messenger asked advice when they heard of the approach of Abu Sufyan, and Sa`d b. `Ubada got up and said, “Messenger of God, by Him in whose hand my soul is, if you were to command us to plunge our animals[1] into the sea we would do so, and if you were to command us to drive them as vigorously as possible to Bark al-Ghimad[2] we would do so.” God’s messenger then invited the people, and they went off till they alighted at Badr. God’s messenger then said, “This is where so and so will be killed,” putting his hand on the ground here and there. Anas said that none of them[3] left the place indicated by God’s messenger’s hand. 1. ‘Literally, “to plunge them “. The context makes it clear that the reference is to animals. 2. A place in the Yemen. 3. This is explained as referring to the infidels the place of whose death the Prophet had foretold. Muslim transmitted it.

    Ibn `Abbas told that the Prophet said when he was in a round tent on the day of Badr, “O God, I ask Thee to fulfil Thy covenant and promise. O God, if Thou willest Thou shalt not be worshipped after to-day.” Abu Bakr then took him by the hand and said, “What you have supplicated is enough, messenger of God; you have importuned your Lord.” So, he went out hurrying in a coat of mail and saying, “The company will be routed and turn their backs[*].” *Quran; 54:45 Bukhari transmitted it.

    He told that when one of the Muslims was going quickly after one of the polytheists in front of him, he heard the crack of a whip above him and the voice of a horseman saying, “Go on, Haizum[*],” and saw the polytheist in front of him fall on his back. He looked at him and saw his nose was cut and his face split as with a slash of a whip, and the whole of that turned green. When the Ansari came and told God’s messenger he said, “You have spoken the truth; that was one of the troops of the third heaven.” That day they killed seventy and took seventy prisoners. *The name of the angel’s horse.

    Al-Bara’ said: The Prophet sent a small party of Abu Rafi'[*], and `Abdallah b. `Atik entered his house at night when he was asleep and killed him. `Abdallah b. `Atik said, “I put the sword in his belly till it came out at his back, and I knew that I had killed him I then began to open the doors till I came to a stair, but when I put my foot on it, I fell and broke my leg, and it was a moonlight night. I tied it with a turban and rejoined my companions, and when I came to the Prophet, I told him all that had happened. He told me to stretch out my leg, and when I had done so and he had passed his hand over it, it seemed as though I had never had anything wrong with it.” *Different dates are given for the incident. J.M.B. Jones who has made an important study of the dates of the Maghazi prefers the date given by Ibn Ishaq, viz. Dhul Hijja 5 or Muharram 6. See Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies , 1957, 19/2, pp. 250, 269 f. Bukhari transmitted it.
