'A'isha reported: Don't you feel surprised at Abu Huraira? He came (one day) and sat beside the nook of my apartment and began to narrate (the hadith of Allah's Apostle). I was hearing while I was engaged in extolling Allah (reciting Subhan Allah) constantly. He stood up before I finished my repetition of Subhan Allah. if I were to meet him I would have warned him in stern words that Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) did not speak so quickly as you talk.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Huraira (and the words are):You say that Abu Huraira narrates so many ahadith from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ; the rest of the hadith is the same.

Ubaidullah bin Rafi', who was the scribe of 'All, reported: I heard 'Ali (RA) as saying: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent me and Zubair and Miqdad saying: Go to the garden of, Khakh [it is a place between Madinah and Makkah at a distance of twelve miles from Madinah] and there you will find a woman riding a camel. She would be in possession of a letter, which you must get from her. So we rushed on horses and when we met that woman, we asked her to deliver that letter to us. She said: There is no letter with me. We said: Either bring out that letter or we would take off your clothes. She brought out that letter from (the plaited hair of) her head. We delivered that letter to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in which Hatib bin Abu Balta'a had informed some people amongst the polytheists of Makkah about the affairs of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Hatib, what is this? He said: Allah's messenger, do not be hasty in judging my intention. I was a person attached to the Quraish. Sufyan said: He was their ally but had no relationship with them. (Hatib further said): Those who are with you amongst the emigrants have blood-relationship with them (the Quraish) and thus they would protect their families. I wished that when I had no blood-relationship with them I should find some supporters from (amongst them) who would help my family. I have not done this because of any unbelief or apostasy and I have no liking for the unbelief after I have (accepted) Islam. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: You have told the truth. 'Umar said: Allah's Messenger, permit me to strike the neck of this hypocrite. But he (the Holy Prophet) said: He was a participant in Badr and you little know that Allah revealed about the people of Badr: Do what you like for there is forgiveness for you. And Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said:" O you who believe, do not take My enemy and your enemy for friends" (lx. 1). And there is no mention of this verse in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Abu Bakr (RA) and Zubair and Ishaq has in his narration made a mention of the recitation of this verse by Sufyan.

'Ali reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent me and Abu Marthad al-Ghitnavi and Zubair bin 'Awwam and we were all riders, and he said: Ride on until you reach the garden of Khakh for there is a woman amongst the polytheists and there is a letter with her sent by Hatib to the polytheists; the rest of the hadith is the same.

Jabir reported that a slave of Hatib came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) complaining against Hatib and said: Hatib will definitely go to Hell. (But) Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: You tell a lie; he would not get into that for he had taken part in Badr and in (the expedition of) Hudaibiya.

Umm Mubashshir reported that she heard Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying in presence of Hafsa: God willing, the people of the Tree would never enter the fire of Hell one amongst those who owed allegiance under that. She said: Allah's Messenger, why not? He scolded her. Hafsa said: And there is none amongst you but shall have to pass over that (narrow Bridge). Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has said: We would rescue those persons who are God-conscious and we would leave the tyrants to their fate there (xix. 72).

Abu Musa reported: I was in the company of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as he had been sitting in Ji'rana (a place) between Makkah and Madinah and Bilal (RA) was also there, that there came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) a desert Arab, and he said: Muhammad, fulfill your promise that you made with me. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: Accept glad tidings. Thereupon the desert Arab said: You shower glad tidings upon me very much; then Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) turned towards Abu Musa and Bilal (RA) seemingly in a state of annoyance and said: Verily he has rejected glad tidings but you two should accept them. We said: Allah's Messenger, we have readily accepted them. Then Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) called for a cup of water and washed his hands in that and face too and put the saliva in it and then said: Drink out of it and pour it over your faces and over your chest and gladden yourselves. They took hold of the cup and did as Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had commanded them to do. Thereupon Umm Salamah called from behind the veil: Spare some water in your vessel for your mother also, and they also gave some water which had been spared for her.

Abu Burda reported on the authority of his father that when Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had been free from the Battle of Hunain, he sent Abu 'Amir as the head of the army of Autas. He had an encounter with Duraid bin as_Simma. Duraid was killed and Allah gave defeat to his friends. Abu Musa said: He (the Holy Prophet) sent me along with Abu 'Amir and Abu 'Amir received a wound in his knee from the arrow, (shot by) a person of Bani Jusham. It stuck in his knee. I went to him and said: Uncle, who shot an arrow upon you? Abu 'Amir pointed out to Abu Musa and said: Verily that one who shot an arrow upon me in fact killed me. Abu Musa said: I followed him with the determination to kill him and overtook him and when he saw me he turned upon his heels. I followed him and I said to him: Don't you feel ashamed (that you run), aren't you an Arab? Why don't you stop? He stopped and I had an encounter with him and we exchanged the strokes of (swords). I struck him with the sword and killed him. Then I came back to Abu Amir and said: Verily Allah has killed the one who killed you. And he said: Now draw out this arrow. I drew out the arrow and there came out from that (wound) water. Abu 'Amir said: My nephew, go to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and convey my greetings to him and tell him that Abu Amir begs you to ask forgiveness for him. And Abu Amir appointed me as the chief of the people and he died after a short time. When I came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) I visited him and he had been lying on the cot woven by strings and there was (no) bed over it and so there had been marks of the strings on the back of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and on his sides. I narrated to him what had happened to us and narrated to him about Abu Amir and said to him that he had made a request to the effect that forgiveness should be sought for him (from Allah). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be. upon him) called for water and performed ablution with it. He then lifted his hands and said. O Allah, grant pardon to Thy servant Abu Amir. (The Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had raised his hands so high for supplication) that I saw the whiteness of his armpits. He again said: O Allah, grant him distinction amongst the majority of Thine created beings or from amongst the people. I said: Allah's Messenger, ask forgiveness for me too. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Allah, forgive the sins of 'Abdullah bin Qais (RA) (Abu Musa Ash'ari) and admit him to an elevated place on the Day of Resurrection. Abu Burda said: One prayer is for abu 'Amir and the other is tor Abu Musa.

Abu Musa reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: I recognise the voice of the Ash'arites while they recite the Qur'an as they arrive during the night and I also recognise their station from the recital of the Qur'an during the night time, although I have not seen their encampments as they encamp during the day time. And there is a person amongst them, Hakim; when he encounters the horsemen or the enemies he says to them: My friends command you to wait for them.

Abu Musa reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: When the Ash'arites run short of provisions in the campaigns or run short of food for their children in Madinah they collect whatever is with them in the cloth and then partake equally from one vessel. They are from me and I am from them.
