Sayyiduna Alqamah bin Nadlah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), whoever was in need would stay there, and whoever was not in need would give it to someone else to stay.

The same narration is transmitted with another chain, however, it contains this additional statement: The same used to happen during the era of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Alqamah bin Nadlah Kinani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), the houses of Makkah were given to people; they were not sold. Whoever was in need would reside there, and whoever was not in need would leave them for others to live in.

Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him): When Makkah was conquered, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted amnesty to everyone except four men and two women. Regarding these six individuals, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if you find them clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah, kill them." (These individuals were: Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl, Abdullah bin Khatal, Muqais bin Subabah, Abdullah bin Sa'd bin Abi Sarh).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Makkah, he said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him):“Call the Ansar!”So he announced:“O Ansar! Present yourselves before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).”The Ansar came, as if they had come for a prearranged meeting. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Proceed along this path; whoever tries to confront you, kill him.”Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, Allah granted him victory, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawaf of the Ka’bah, he offered two units of prayer, then exited from the door near Safa (hill), then he ascended Safa, and addressed the people. At that time, the Ansar were at the lower part of the hill. One of them said to his companion:“Now, love for his own people has been stirred in this man’s heart, and attachment to his hometown has developed.”So, regarding what the Ansar had said, Allah informed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) through revelation. He said:“O Ansar! You have said: Now, love for his own people has been stirred in this man’s heart, and attachment to his hometown has developed.”Then he said:“Who am I? By Allah! I am truly Allah’s servant and His Messenger. My life and my death are with you.”The Ansar said:“O Messenger of Allah! By Allah! We only said this out of concern that perhaps you (peace and blessings be upon him) might separate from us.”The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“You are truthful before Allah and His Messenger.”The narrator says: By Allah! At that moment, tears were flowing from each of them down to his neck.

Abdullah bin Rabah narrates: We went to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the form of a delegation, and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with us. One of us would prepare food, then invite his companions. One day one person would do this, the next day another would do it. When it was my turn, I said: "O Abu Hurairah! Will you narrate a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until the food arrives?" So Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Khalid bin Walid as the commander of both the right and left flanks of the army, and appointed Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) as the commander of the other part, and made Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) the commander of the rear part of the army, which was in the lower part of the valley. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Abu Hurairah! Call the Ansar to me." Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I called them, and they came quickly. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ansar! When the riffraff of Quraysh come before you tomorrow, you must crush them. Our meeting will be at Safa (hill)." The narrator says: He gestured with his hand. The next day, whoever tried to come forward for combat, they killed him. Allah granted victory to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he came to Safa (hill) and stood upon it. Abu Sufyan came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah! If the Quraysh continue to be killed like this, after today there will be nothing left of Quraysh." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan will be safe, whoever closes the door of his house will be safe, and whoever lays down his weapons will also be safe." Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Some of the Ansar said: "Now love for his own people has been stirred in this man’s heart, and attachment to his hometown has developed." So revelation was sent down to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and he said: "O Ansar! Did you say: Now love for his own people has been stirred in this man’s heart, and attachment to his hometown has developed? Remember! I am Allah’s servant and His Messenger. I migrated towards Allah and towards you. My life and my death are with you." The narrator says: They said: "O Messenger of Allah! We said this out of love for Allah and His Messenger." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah and His Messenger affirm you and accept your excuse."

Suraqah narrates: I had to give some wealth to a person (the narrator is unsure whether the words are: I had to pay a debt to a person), that person took me to the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so whatever wealth I had, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sold it to that person for (the payment). The two sons of Zayd bin Aslam have narrated different things in transmitting this.

The sons of Zayd bin Aslam, Abdur Rahman and Abdullah, narrate from their father: He participated in a battle, and he heard a person calling out loudly to another: "O Saraq, O Saraq!" So Zayd bin Aslam called him and inquired: What is meant by Saraq? He replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me this name. I bought a she-camel from a Bedouin, then I hid from him, and I lost the price of the she-camel as well. The Bedouin was searching for me, so people told him: "Go to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and inform him about this." The man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! A man bought a she-camel from me and then hid from me; I could not find him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Search for him." The narrator states: That man found me and brought me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! This is the person who bought the she-camel from me and hid from me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pay him the price." So I said: "O Messenger of Allah! It has been lost from me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are Saraq!" Then he said to the Bedouin: "Go, sell him in the market and take the price of your she-camel." So the Bedouin made me stand in the market, and when my price was set, he asked the buyer: "What will you do with him?" He replied: "I will set him free." So that Bedouin set me free.

Zaid bin Aslam narrates: I saw an elderly man in Alexandria whose name was Saraq. I asked: What kind of name is this? He replied: This name was given to me by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and I will not abandon it. I asked: Why did the Prophet (peace be upon him) give you this name? He replied: I came to Madinah and informed people that my goods were arriving. Some people made deals with me, and I owed them payments. My goods were lost. Those people took me to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He said: "You are Saraq!" Then he had me sold for four she-camels. The creditors asked the buyer: "What will you do with him?" He replied: "I will set him free." So those people said: "We are in as much need of reward as you are." So together they set me free, but my name remained.

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) entered Makkah, it was asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Where will you stay, will it be in your house?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) replied: "Has Aqeel (bin Abu Talib) left any house for us? (Because) no disbeliever inherits from a Muslim, and no Muslim inherits from a disbeliever."
