(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا هاشم ، حدثنا سليمان ، عن ثابت ، عن انس بن مالك ، قال:" لقد رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والحلاق يحلقه، واطاف به اصحابه، فما يريدون ان تقع شعرة إلا في يد رجل".
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while the barber was cutting his hair, and the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were standing around, and they wished that any hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that fell would fall into the hand of a person and not onto the ground.

(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا هاشم ، حدثنا سليمان ، عن ثابت ، عن انس ، قال: كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم" إذا صلى الغداة جاء خدم اهل المدينة بآنيتهم فيها الماء، فما يؤتى بإناء إلا غمس يده فيها، فربما جاءوه في الغداة الباردة، فغمس يده فيها".
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished offering the Fajr prayer, the servants of the people of Madinah would bring their containers filled with water. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would place his hand in each container. Sometimes it would be the season of cold, yet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would still fulfill this practice.

(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا هاشم ، وعفان المعنى ، قالا: حدثنا سليمان ، عن ثابت ، قال: كنا عند انس بن مالك ، فكتب كتابا بين اهله، فقال: اشهدوا يا معشر القراء، قال ثابت: فكاني كرهت ذلك، فقلت: يا ابا حمزة، لو سميتهم باسمائهم، قال: وما باس ذلك ان اقول لكم قراء، افلا احدثكم عن إخوانكم الذين كنا نسميهم على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم القراء؟ فذكر انهم كانوا سبعين، فكانوا إذا جنهم الليل، انطلقوا إلى معلم لهم بالمدينة، فيدرسون الليل حتى يصبحوا، فإذا اصبحوا فمن كانت له قوة استعذب من الماء، واصاب من الحطب، ومن كانت عنده سعة اجتمعوا فاشتروا الشاة فاصلحوها، فيصبح ذلك معلقا بحجر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فلما اصيب خبيب بعثهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فاتوا على حي من بني سليم وفيهم خالي حرام، فقال حرام لاميرهم: دعني فلاخبر هؤلاء انا لسنا إياهم نريد، حتى يخلوا وجهنا، وقال عفان: فيخلون وجهنا، فقال لهم حرام: إنا لسنا إياكم نريد، فاستقبله رجل بالرمح، فانفذه منه، فلما وجد الرمح في جوفه، قال: الله اكبر، فزت ورب الكعبة، قال: فانطووا عليهم، فما بقي منهم احد، فقال انس: فما رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وجد على شيء قط، وجده عليهم، فلقد رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في صلاة الغداة" رفع يديه فدعا عليهم"، فلما كان بعد ذلك، إذا ابو طلحة يقول لي: هل لك في قاتل حرام؟، قال: قلت له: ما له فعل الله به وفعل؟، قال: مهلا، فإنه قد اسلم، وقال عفان: رفع يديه يدعو عليهم، وقال ابو النضر: رفع يديه.
Thabit says that once we were sitting with Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he wrote a letter to his family and said, "O group of reciters! Bear witness to this." I did not like this, so I said, "O Abu Hamza! Would it not be better if you mentioned their names?" He replied, "If I have called you reciters, there is no harm in it. Shall I not tell you about those brothers of mine whom we used to call reciters in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace be upon him)? They were seventy individuals, who, when night fell, would go to their teacher in Madinah Munawwarah and spend the whole night reciting. In the morning, those who had the strength would drink sweet water and go to cut wood. Those who could not afford it would gather together, buy a goat, slaughter and clean it, and in the morning hang it near the chambers of the Prophet (peace be upon him). When Hazrat Khubaib (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred, the Prophet (peace be upon him) sent them. They reached a tribe of Banu Sulaim, among them was my maternal uncle 'Haram.' He said to their leader, 'Allow me to go and tell them that we do not wish to harm them, so that they may let us pass.' With permission, he conveyed this message to them. While he was delivering this message, a man came from the front with a spear and pierced him through. When the spear was thrust into his stomach, he fell saying, 'Allahu Akbar, by the Lord of the Ka'bah! I have succeeded.' Then they were attacked, and not a single man among them survived. I have never seen the Prophet (peace be upon him) as grieved over any incident as he was over this one, and I saw that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would raise his hands in the Fajr prayer and supplicate against them. Some time later, Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, 'Shall I tell you the whereabouts of the killer of Haram?' I said, 'Certainly, tell me, may Allah do such and such to him.' He said, 'Wait, for he has become a Muslim.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once said to Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah has commanded me to recite the Qur'an to you. Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Did Allah mention me by name?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Yes!" Upon hearing this, Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep.

(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا عبد الرزاق ، اخبرنا معمر ، عن ثابت ، عن انس ، ان اسيد بن حضير، ورجلا آخر من الانصار تحدثا عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليلة في حاجة لهما، حتى ذهب من الليل ساعة، وليلة شديدة الظلمة، ثم خرجا من عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ينقلبان، وبيد كل واحد منهما عصية، فاضاءت عصا احدهما لهما حتى مشيا في ضوئها، حتى إذا افترق بهما الطريق، اضاءت للآخر عصاه، فمشى كل واحد منهما في ضوء عصاه حتى بلغ إلى اهله".
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, during the night, Hazrat Usaid bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) and another companion were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) discussing some matter. Much of the night had passed and it was very dark. When they took leave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and set out, one of them had a staff in his hand. The staff of one of the men became illuminated, and they began to walk in its light. When they parted ways, the other man's staff also became illuminated, and each man walked to his home in the light of his own staff.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says, O son of Adam! If you remember Me in your heart, I will remember you in My heart; if you mention Me in a gathering, I will mention you in a better gathering of angels; if you come near to Me by a span, I will come near to you by a cubit; and if you come near to Me by a cubit, I will come near to you by a fathom; and if you come to Me walking, I will come to you running.

(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا عبد الرزاق ، اخبرنا معمر ، عن ثابت البناني ، عن انس او غيره، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم استاذن على سعد بن عبادة، فقال:" السلام عليكم ورحمة الله"، فقال سعد: وعليك السلام ورحمة الله، ولم يسمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى سلم ثلاثا، ورد عليه سعد ثلاثا، ولم يسمعوه فرجع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، واتبعه سعد، فقال: يا رسول الله، بابي انت وامي، ما سلمت تسليمة إلا هي باذني، ولقد رددت عليك، ولم اسمعك، احببت ان استكثر من سلامك ومن البركة، ثم ادخله البيت، فقرب له زبيبا، فاكل نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فلما فرغ، قال:" اكل طعامكم الابرار، وصلت عليكم الملائكة، وافطر عندكم الصائمون".
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Hazrat Sa’d bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) and, after seeking permission, said,“Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.”Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) replied in a low voice—so low that it did not reach the ears of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted three times, and each time Hazrat Sa’d replied in such a way that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) could not hear. Consequently, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned back. Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) ran after him and said,“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! May my parents be sacrificed for you. Every time you greeted, I heard it with my own ears and replied, but I did not let you hear (I kept my voice low). I wanted to gain as much of your prayer for peace and blessings as possible.”Then he took the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) into his house and presented raisins. After the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate them, he said,“May righteous people continue to eat your food, may the angels of mercy continue to pray for you, and may those who fast break their fast with you.”

(حديث مرفوع) حدثنا عبد الرزاق ، حدثنا معمر ، قال: سمعت ثابتا يحدث، عن انس ، قال: لما افتتح رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خيبر، قال الحجاج بن علاط: يا رسول الله، إن لي بمكة مالا، وإن لي بها اهلا، وإني اريد ان آتيهم، فانا في حل إن انا نلت منك او قلت شيئا؟" فاذن له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ان يقول ما شاء"، فاتى امراته حين قدم، فقال: اجمعي لي ما كان عندك، فإني اريد ان اشتري من غنائم محمد واصحابه، فإنهم قد استبيحوا، واصيبت اموالهم، قال ففشا ذلك في مكة، فانقمع المسلمون، واظهر المشركون فرحا وسرورا، قال: وبلغ الخبر العباس فعقر، وجعل لا يستطيع ان يقوم، قال معمر: فاخبرني عثمان الجزري عن مقسم، قال: فاخذ ابنا له، يقال له: قثم، فاستلقى فوضعه على صدره، وهو يقول: حبي قثم شبيه ذي الانف الاشم نبي ذي النعم برغم من رغم، قال ثابت، عن انس: ثم ارسل غلاما إلى الحجاج بن علاط: ويلك، ما جئت به وماذا تقول؟ فما وعد الله خير مما جئت به، قال الحجاج بن علاط لغلامه: اقرا على ابي الفضل السلام، وقل له: فليخل لي في بعض بيوته لآتيه، فإن الخبر على ما يسره، فجاء غلامه، فلما بلغ باب الدار، قال: ابشر يا ابا الفضل، قال: فوثب العباس فرحا حتى قبل بين عينيه، فاخبره ما قال الحجاج، فاعتقه، قال: ثم جاءه الحجاج، فاخبره ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد افتتح خيبر، وغنم اموالهم، وجرت سهام الله عز وجل في اموالهم، واصطفى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صفية بنت حيي فاتخذها لنفسه، وخيرها ان يعتقها وتكون زوجته، او تلحق باهلها، فاختارت ان يعتقها وتكون زوجته، ولكني جئت لمال كان لي هاهنا اردت ان اجمعه فاذهب به، فاستاذنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فاذن لي ان اقول ما شئت، فاخف عني ثلاثا، ثم اذكر ما بدا لك، قال: فجمعت امراته ما كان عندها من حلي ومتاع، فجمعته فدفعته إليه، ثم انشمر به، فلما كان بعد ثلاث اتى العباس امراة الحجاج، فقال: ما فعل زوجك؟ فاخبرته انه قد ذهب يوم كذا وكذا، وقالت: لا يخزيك الله يا ابا الفضل، لقد شق علينا الذي بلغك، قال: اجل لا يخزني الله، ولم يكن بحمد الله إلا ما احببنا فتح الله خيبر على رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم وجرت فيها سهام الله، واصطفى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صفية بنت حيي لنفسه، فإن كانت لك حاجة في زوجك فالحقي به، قالت: اظنك والله صادقا، قال: فإني صادق، الامر على ما اخبرتك، فذهب حتى اتى مجالس قريش وهم يقولون: إذا مر بهم لا يصيبك إلا خير يا ابا الفضل، قال لهم: لم يصبني إلا خير بحمد الله، قد اخبرني الحجاج بن علاط، ان خيبر قد فتحها الله على رسوله وجرت فيها سهام الله، واصطفى صفية لنفسه، وقد سالني ان اخفي عليه ثلاثا، وإنما جاء لياخذ ماله، وما كان له من شيء هاهنا، ثم يذهب، قال: فرد الله الكآبة التي كانت بالمسلمين على المشركين، وخرج المسلمون، ومن كان دخل بيته مكتئبا حتى اتوا العباس، فاخبرهم الخبر، فسر المسلمون، ورد ما كان من كآبة، او غيظ، او حزن على المشركين.
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had conquered Khaybar, Hajjaj bin Ghalat (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I have some wealth and family in Makkah Mukarramah. I intend to go to them (so that I may bring them here). Do I have your permission to spread any word on your behalf?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission to say whatever he wished. So he reached Makkah Mukarramah and went to his wife and said to her, "Gather together whatever you have and give it to me. I want to buy the spoils of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions, for they have been thoroughly massacred and all their wealth and property has been plundered." This news spread throughout Makkah, the Muslims were devastated, and the polytheists began to celebrate with great joy. Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) also heard this news, so he fell down and did not have the strength to stand. Then he called one of his sons, "Qutham," and, lying on his back, seated him on his chest and began to recite this verse: "My dear son Qutham resembles the one with the fragrant nose, who is the son of those raised in luxury and comfort, even if someone's nose is covered in dust." Then he sent a servant to Hajjaj bin Ghalat (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Alas! What kind of news have you brought and what are you saying? What Allah has promised is much better than the news you have brought." Hajjaj said to the servant, "Convey my greetings to Abu al-Fadl (Hazrat Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him) and tell him to provide me with an opportunity for privacy in one of his houses so that I may come to him, for the news is such that he will be pleased." When the servant returned and reached the door of the house, he said, "O Abu al-Fadl! Rejoice!" Hearing this, Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) jumped up with joy and kissed him between his eyes. The servant told him what Hajjaj had said, so he set him free. After a short while, Hajjaj came to him and informed him that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had conquered Khaybar, had taken the spoils, Allah's prescribed share had been distributed among them, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had chosen Safiyyah bint Huyayy for himself and had given her the choice that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would set her free and she would become his wife, or she could return to her family. She preferred that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set her free and she become his wife. But I had come here because of my wealth "which was here" so that I could gather it and take it away. I had sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he had given me permission to say whatever I wished. Now you should keep this news hidden for three days, after which, if you deem it appropriate, you may mention it. After that, whatever jewelry and belongings his wife had and whatever she had gathered, she handed it all over to him, and he set off with it. After three days had passed, Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Hajjaj's wife and asked her, "What became of your husband?" She replied, "He left on such-and-such a day," and said, "O Abu al-Fadl! May Allah never disgrace you. Your distress was also very hard on us." He said, "Yes! May Allah never disgrace me, and all praise is due to Allah! What we wanted has happened. Allah has granted victory over Khaybar at the hands of His Prophet, the spoils have been distributed, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has chosen Safiyyah bint Huyayy for himself. Now, if you need your husband, go to him." She said, "By Allah! I consider you truthful." He said, "Whatever I have told you is all true." Then Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) left there and passed by the gatherings of the Quraysh. They said, "Abu al-Fadl! You always receive good." He said, "All praise is due to Allah! I have received good. Hajjaj bin Ghalat informed me that Allah has granted victory over Khaybar at the hands of His Prophet, the spoils have been distributed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has chosen Safiyyah for himself, and Hajjaj had requested me to keep this news hidden for three days. He had only come here to take his wealth and belongings, then he left. Thus, the grief that was upon the Muslims, Allah turned it upon the polytheists, and the Muslims and all those who had become sorrowful in their homes came out of their homes...
