It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: By Allah! I was watching Hind bint Utbah and her female companions running away with their garments lifted (above their shins), and there was not the slightest delay in capturing them. Meanwhile, when we had pushed the enemy back, the archers turned towards the camp, wanting to gather the spoils, and they left our rear exposed to the (enemy) cavalry. So we were attacked from behind, and a caller cried out loudly: Beware! Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has been killed. At this we turned back and the enemy also turned, although before that we had overpowered their standard-bearers, so much so that none of the enemy would come near the standard. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, 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 Amr bin Uqaysh was owed some usury (riba) from the Days of Ignorance, and this very usury was preventing him from accepting Islam, so that he could first collect it and then accept Islam. One day he came while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions were at Uhud. He asked: Where is Sa'd bin Mu'adh? He was told: At Uhud. Then he asked: Where are his nephews? He was told: At Uhud. Then he inquired about his own people, and they said that they too were at Uhud. So he took his sword and spear, put on his armor and set out for Uhud. When the Muslims saw him, they said: O Amr! Keep away from us. He replied: I have believed. Then he charged with full force and fought, until he was carried back to his family wounded. Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Mu'adh came to him and asked him: Did you come out of anger for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, or out of tribal zeal and honor for your people? He replied: Rather, I came out of anger for the sake of Allah and His Messenger. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He entered Paradise, although he had not prayed a single prayer for Allah. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mention his companions of Uhud, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "By Allah! I truly wished that I too had been left with my Companions at the foot of the mountain (that is, martyred there)."

Imam Ali bin al-Husayn narrates from his father that Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), used to go on (various) days to visit the grave of her uncle Sayyiduna Hamzah bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him), where she would pray and weep. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Abd al-A'la bin Abdullah narrates from his father that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited the graves of the martyrs of Uhud and said: "O Allah! Indeed Your servant and Your Prophet bears witness that these are all martyrs, and that whoever visits them and greets them with salam until the Day of Resurrection, they will return his greeting."

Al-Attaf narrates that my maternal aunt told me that she visited the graves of the martyrs. She said: There was no one with me except two boys who were looking after the mount. I greeted the martyrs with salam, and I heard the reply to my greeting. They said: By Allah! We recognize you just as we recognize one another. She said: (On hearing this) a shudder came over me, and I said: O boy! Bring my mule near. Then I mounted and returned. This chain is authentic (sahih) with respect to its Madinan narrators, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him): O my nephew! By Allah! Your father (al-Zubayr) and your maternal grandfather (Abu Bakr) were certainly among those about whom Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: "Those who responded to Allah and the Messenger even after injury had struck them." [Al Imran: 172] This hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fought (the tribe of) Muharib Khasafah at Nakhl. They found an opportunity when the Muslims were off their guard, and a man from among them named Ghawrath bin al-Harith suddenly stood over the blessed head of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a drawn sword and said: "Who will save you from me now?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said (without any fear): "Allah." As soon as he heard this, the sword fell from his hand. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) picked up that same sword and asked him: "Now who will save you (from me)?" He said (humbly): "Be the best of those who have the upper hand (and show mercy)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you bear witness that there is no true god except Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah?" The Bedouin replied: "I pledge to you that I will neither fight you nor side with people who wage war against you." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) let him go. When he reached his people, he said: "I have come to you from the one who is the best of all people." Then when the time of prayer came, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer of fear (salat al-khawf). The Companions were divided into two groups: one group was lined up facing the enemy, and the other group was praying with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) led the group with him in two rak'ahs, then they left their place and went to face the enemy. Then the other group came, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led them too in two rak'ahs. Thus the Companions prayed two rak'ahs each, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed four rak'ahs in total. 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) set out on a military expedition and encountered the polytheists at Usfan. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the Zuhr prayer (with his Companions), and the polytheists saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions bowing and prostrating together, they said to one another: "This was the best opportunity for you to attack; had you fallen upon them suddenly, they would not even have known of your intentions." Then one of them advised: "Indeed they have another prayer (Asr) coming, which is dearer to them than even their children and their wealth; so make full preparations so that you can attack them all at once at that time." On this occasion Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "And when you are among them and lead them in prayer" [Surah al-Nisa': 102] , and Allah Almighty informed him (peace and blessings be upon him) of this plot of the polytheists. So when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the Asr prayer while the polytheists were right in front, in the direction of the qiblah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) had the Muslims stand behind him in two rows. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said the opening takbir, and all of them said the takbir with him. Then the narrator described the complete method of the prayer of fear, and at its end he stated: When the polytheists saw that some of the Muslims were prostrating while others were standing and watching over them, they said (in astonishment): "They have certainly been informed of our intentions." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the trench was being dug, I saw that the blessed stomach of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was severely drawn in from hunger. I hurried to my wife and said: I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a state of extreme hunger. My wife brought out a bag containing one sa' of barley, and we had a small young goat raised at home. I slaughtered it and ground the flour. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and whispered in his ear: O Messenger of Allah! We have slaughtered a small animal of ours and ground the one sa' of barley we had, so come, you and a few people with you. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called out loudly: "O people of the Trench! Jabir has prepared a feast, so all of you come quickly!" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Until I come, do not take your cooking pot down from the fire, and do not bake the bread from your dough." I reached home, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also arrived, and the people began to come (group after group), until I went to my wife. She brought out the kneaded dough and placed it before him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) put some of his blessed saliva into it and supplicated for blessing, then said: "Call a woman who bakes bread so that she may bake with you, and keep ladling the stew from your pot, but do not take it down from the fire." The Companions numbered one thousand. Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) swears by Allah that all of them ate their fill until they left the food and went away, while our pot was still bubbling (full of stew) just as it had been, and our dough was still (remaining) just as it had been, with bread being baked from it. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
