It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) conquered Makkah, some people of Quraysh came to him and said: O Muhammad, we are your allies and your people, and some of our slaves have fled and joined you; they have no longing for Islam, rather they have run away to escape work, so return them to us. He (peace and blessings be upon him) consulted Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: O Messenger of Allah, they are speaking the truth. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "What is your opinion?" And he too said the same as Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people of Quraysh, Allah will surely send against you a man whose heart Allah has tested for faith; he will strike your necks for the sake of the religion." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, is it me? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Is it me? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather it is the one who is mending the sandal in the mosque." He (peace and blessings be upon him) had given his sandal to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to mend. Then Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Take heed! I heard him (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Do not lie about me, for whoever lies about me will enter the Fire." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that on the day of Khaybar the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed two shares each for two hundred horses. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording, and Imam Bukhari used Yahya bin Ayyub and Kathir bin Kathir al-Makhzumi as evidence.

Amir bin Abi Amir al-Ash'ari narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The tribe of al-Asd and the Ash'aris are excellent people; they do not flee from the battlefield, nor do they betray; they are from me and I am from them." The narrator says: I related this to Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: It is not like that; rather, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are from me and (turn) to me." I said: My father did not tell me like that; rather, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself say: "They are from me and I am from them." Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then you know your father's hadith better. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) obtained spoils of war, he would order Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), and he would call out three times. Then the people would bring what they had obtained, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would order that the fifth (khums) be taken out of it. Once a man came with a rope made of hair after the spoils had already been distributed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Did you hear Bilal calling out three times?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then what prevented you from bringing this?" He offered an excuse, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection you yourself will bring it (this act of treachery); I will never accept it from you now." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One of the prophets fought against the people of a town, until, when he was about to conquer it, he feared that the sun would set. So he said to the sun: O sun, you too are bound (by Allah's command) and I too am bound; I adjure you by my sanctity, stop for an hour of the day. The narrator says: So Allah held it back until he conquered the town. And (among the earlier nations) the rule was that when they obtained spoils of war, they would offer them as a sacrifice, and then fire would come (from the sky) and consume it (thereby accepting it). But this time, when they set down the spoils, the fire did not come to consume it. At this they said: O Prophet of Allah, why has our sacrifice not been accepted? He said: There has been treachery (theft of the spoils) among you. They asked: How can we know who has the stolen goods? He said: You are twelve tribes; let the chief of every tribe pledge allegiance to me. So the chief of every tribe pledged allegiance to him, and that prophet's hand stuck to the hand of one man among them. He said: The treachery is with your tribe. The man asked: How can I know with which man it is? He said: Call your tribe and take their pledge one by one. So he did so, and his hand stuck to the hand of one man. He asked: Do you have the stolen goods? He said: Yes, I have them. He asked: What is it? He said: It is the head of a bull made of gold; I liked it, so I concealed it. So he brought it and placed it among the spoils, and then the fire came and consumed it." At this Ka'b al-Ahbar said: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth; by Allah, it is like this in the Book of Allah, that is, in the Torah. He asked: O Abu Hurayrah, did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) tell you which prophet it was? He said: No. Ka'b said: He was Yusha' bin Nun (peace be upon him). Then he asked: Did he tell you which town it was? (He said: No.) Ka'b said: It was the city of Ariha (Jericho). This hadith is gharib and sahih (rare but authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about the captives of the Battle of Badr: "If you wish, kill them; and if you wish, take ransom from them and benefit from the ransom, but (in that case) as many of you will be martyred as their number (seventy)." So the last of them to be martyred was Sayyiduna Thabit bin Qays (may Allah be pleased with him), who was martyred in the Battle of Yamamah. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fixed the ransom of the captives, the people of Jahiliyyah, at four hundred (dirhams). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that some of the captives of the Battle of Badr had nothing with which to pay a ransom, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made their ransom that they teach the children of the Ansar to read and write. The narrator says: Once a boy of the Ansar came to his father, who asked: What has happened to you? He said: My teacher beat me. So his father said (in anger): This wretch is seeking revenge for Badr; by Allah, you will never go to him again. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik al-Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever fay' (wealth acquired without fighting) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) would distribute it that same day; he (peace and blessings be upon him) would give a married man two shares and an unmarried man one share. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, because he recorded four hadiths with this very chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Qays bin Ubad (may Allah be pleased with him): Al-Ashtar (al-Nakha'i) and I went to Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day of the Battle of the Camel, and I asked: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entrust you with any special instruction, apart from the people in general? He said: No, except for this writing. And he took out a scroll from the sheath of his sword, in which was written: "The blood of all the believers is equal (in retaliation); even the lowest of them may grant protection (to someone) and it is binding on behalf of all; they are as one hand (united) against their enemies; no believer shall be killed in retaliation for a disbeliever, nor shall one under a covenant (a dhimmi) be killed while his covenant stands." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
