    وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا وَادِيًا أَفْيَحَ فَذَهَبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا يَسْتَتِرُ بِهِ وَإِذَا شَجَرَتَيْنِ بِشَاطِئِ الْوَادِي فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى إِحْدَاهُمَا فَأَخَذَ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا فَقَالَ انْقَادِي عَلَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَانْقَادَتْ مَعَهُ كَالْبَعِيرِ الْمَخْشُوشِ الَّذِي يُصَانِعُ قَائِدَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى الشَّجَرَةَ الْأُخْرَى فَأَخَذَ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا فَقَالَ انْقَادِي عَلَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَانْقَادَتْ مَعَهُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِالْمَنْصَفِ مِمَّا بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ الْتَئِمَا عَلَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَالْتَأَمَتَا فَجَلَسْتُ أُحَدِّثُ نَفْسِي فَحَانَتْ مِنِّي لفتة فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُقْبِلًا وَإِذَا الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ قَدِ افْتَرَقَتَا فَقَامَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى سَاقٍ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ

    Jabir said: We travelled with God’s messenger, and when we alighted in a broad wadi God’s messenger went to relieve himself, but could find nothing with which to screen himself. There were two trees at the side of the wadi , so God’s messenger went to one of them and, taking hold of one of its branches, he said, “Allow yourself to be led by me, with God’s permission.” Then it was led by him like a camel with a piece of wood in its nose which is amenable to the one who guides it, until he came to the other tree. Then taking hold of one of its branches he said, “Allow yourself to be led by me, with God’s permission,” and it was led similarly. Then when he was in the middle between them, he said, “Draw close together about me, with God’s permission,” and they did so. I sat occupied with my thoughts, and when I turned round, I saw God’s messenger coming, and noticed that the trees had separated, each standing on its own trunk. Muslim 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.)

    Yazid b. Abu `Ubaid said: I saw the mark of a blow on the leg of Salama b. al-Akwa’ and asked, “What is this blow, Abu Muslim?” He replied, “It is a blow I received at the battle for Khaibar which made the people say I had been killed. I went to the Prophet who blew spittle on it three times, and up to now I have been having no trouble with it.” Bukhari transmitted it.

    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 Prophet announced the death of Zaid, Ja`far and Ibn Rawaha to the people before news of them had reached them[*], saying, “Zaid took the standard and was smitten, then Ja’far took it and was smitten, then Ibn Rawaha took it and was smitten (the tears mean while dripping from his eyes). Finally, one of God’s swords (meaning Khalid b. al-Walid) took the standard till God granted them success.” Bukhari transmitted it.

    Salama b. al-Akwa` told that when a man ate with his left hand in the presence of God’s messenger he said, ” Eat with your right hand.” On his replying, “I am not able,” he said, “May you not be able!” for it was simply pride which prevented him. He told that he did not raise it[*] to his mouth [after that]. *i.e., his right hand. Muslim transmitted it.

    Ibn `Abbas said: I was present with God’s messenger at the battle of Hunain. When the Muslims and the infidels met the Muslims turned in retreat, but God’s messenger began to spur his she-mule in the direction of the infidels, while I was holding the bridle of his she-mule to restrain it, desiring that it should not go quickly, and Abu Sufyan b. al-Harith was holding God’s messenger’s stirrup. God’s messenger then said, “Call those who were present at the gum-acacia tree[1].” `Abbas, who had a loud voice, told that he called at the top of his voice, “Where are those who were present at the gum-acacia tree?” adding, “I swear by God that I made them turn back when they heard my voice as cows turn back to their young.” They said, “At your service, at your service.” They and the-infidels then fought, and the call among the Ansar was, “O company of the Ansar, O company of the Ansar.” Then the call was confined to the B. al-Harith b. al Khazraj[2]. God’s messenger watched their fighting while sitting on his she-mule like one stretching out his neck, and said, “This is when the oven has become hot[3].” Then taking some pebbles and throwing them in the faces of the infidels he said, “Be routed, by the Lord of Muhammad.” I swear by God that no sooner had he thrown the pebbles at them than I began to see their power becoming weak and their ranks, turning in retreat. 1. The reference is to the battle of Mu’ta. 2. Those who swore allegiance to the Prophet at al-Hudaibiya. Cf. Quran, 48:18. 3. A tribal group which formed a section of the Ansar. 4. A figure of speech meaning that the fighting has become violent. Muslim transmitted it.

    Abu Ishaq told that a man said to al-Bara'[1], “Abu `Umara, did you[2] fly at the battle of Hunain?” He replied, ‘No, I swear by God. God’s messenger did not turn back, but some of his young companions who did not have many weapons went out against the enemy and met some archers whose arrows rarely fell on the ground[3], and they shot at them and rarely missed. So, they then went towards God’s messenger who was on his white she-mule with Abu Sufyan b. al-Harith in front of him. He dismounted and prayed for victory saying. “I am the Prophet without falsehood; I am the descendant of Abd al-Muttalib.” He then drew them up in line. 1. Al-Bara’ b. ‘Azib, whose kunya was Abu ‘Umara. 2. The pronoun is plural, referring to the army. 3. i.e., failed to bit someone. 4. A line in the rajaz metre. Muslim transmitted it, and Bukhari has something to the same effect. In a version by both of them al Bara.’ said, “I swear by God that when the battle became fierce, we sought refuge with him, and the bravest of us was the one who kept shoulder to shoulder with him,” meaning the Prophet.

    Salama b. al-Akwa` said: We went to the battle of Hunain with God’s messenger and his companions turned back. Then when God’s messenger was surrounded, he dismounted from his she-mule, took a handful of earth from the ground, and turning towards them threw it in their faces saying, “May the faces be made ugly!” Then there was not a man among them whom God had created whose eyes were not filled with earth by reason of that handful. They turned in retreat, God routed them, and God’s messenger divided the spoils among the Muslims. Muslim 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. Muslim transmitted it.
