It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) fell unconscious, and his sister Amrah began to weep and to lament, listing his qualities: "Alas, my brother! Alas, you were such and such!" When he came to, he said: "For every quality you mentioned, I was questioned (by the angels): 'Are you really like that?'" This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Qays bin Abi Hazim that he said: I heard Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "On the day of the battle of Mu'tah, nine swords broke in my hand, and nothing remained in my hand except a single Yemeni blade." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. Moreover, the two Shaykhs agreed on the hadith of Humayd bin Hilal from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the battle of Mu'tah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Zayd bin Harithah took the banner and was martyred, then Ja'far took it and was also martyred, then Abdullah bin Rawahah took it and was also martyred." After that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) to Mu'tah.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the wife of Sayyiduna Salamah bin Hisham bin al-Mughirah: "Why is it that I do not see Salamah attending the prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims?" She replied: "By Allah! He cannot go out (out of shame), because whenever he goes out, people call out to him: 'O you who fled! Did you run away from the path of Allah?' Because of this taunt he has become confined to his house and does not go out." It should be noted that he had taken part in the battle of Mu'tah with Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). 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 Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "A bitter exchange took place between me and a cousin of mine, and he said (taunting me): 'Are you not the one who fled on the day of Mu'tah?' When I heard this from him, I did not know what to answer him."

Abdullah bin Buraydah narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) as commander in the expedition of Dhat al-Salasil, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) were also in that army. When they reached the place of battle, Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As ordered that no one should light a fire. At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry and intended to deal harshly with him, but Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped him and explained that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had appointed him as commander over you only because he is an expert in the tactics of war. Only then did the anger of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) cool down. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) 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 he said: "The conquest of Makkah took place on the thirteenth of the blessed month of Ramadan."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: In the year of the conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions set out until he camped at Marr al-Zahran with ten thousand Muslims. The tribe of Banu Sulaym numbered seven hundred and Banu Muzaynah one thousand, and in every tribe there was a considerable number and the spirit of Islam. All the Muhajirun and Ansar had gathered with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and not one of them had stayed behind. The news had been kept hidden from Quraysh, so no news of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was reaching them, nor did they know what he (peace and blessings be upon him) was going to do. Meanwhile, Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith and Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah bin al-Mughirah met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at Thaniyyat al-Uqab, between Makkah and Madinah, and sought permission to come into his presence. Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) spoke to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! These are your paternal cousin, your cousin through your paternal aunt, and your brother-in-law." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have no need of them. As for my paternal cousin Abu Sufyan, he has violated my honour; and as for my cousin through my paternal aunt and my brother-in-law Abdullah, he is the one who said to me in Makkah the insolent things that he said." When this news reached the two of them, and Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith had his son with him, Abu Sufyan said: "By Allah! Either the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) will give me permission, or I will take this son of mine by the hand and go off into the land until we die of thirst or hunger." When this reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), his heart softened towards them and he gave them permission to come in. Then Abu Sufyan recited these verses concerning his acceptance of Islam and his apology for what had happened in the past: "By your life! On the day I carried the banner of the disbelievers so that the horsemen of al-Lat might overcome the horsemen of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I was like a bewildered traveller wandering lost in a dark night; but now the time of truth has come for me to be shown the way and to be guided. Tell the tribe of Thaqif that I do not wish to fight you, and tell them that this intention of mine is clear to you. I was guided to Allah by the guide whom I had chased away from every place. I used to strive hard to flee far from Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and I was called (by his name) even though I did not ascribe myself to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They are a group who, whoever does not speak according to their wishes is blamed and called foolish, even if he is a man of sound opinion. I want to please them, and I am not one to cling to the people unless I am guided in every gathering; and I was not with those who attacked Amir, nor have my tongue and my hand grown weary of any good. The tribes that have come from distant lands, and the troops that have come from Siham and Surdad, and indeed the one whom you drove out and reviled will strive for you with the striving of one who is not sluggish or idle." The narrator says: When he recited before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the line "I was guided to Allah by the guide whom I had chased away from every place", the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) struck him on the chest and said: "Yes! It was you who chased me away from every place." Ibn Ishaq says: The blessed mother of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away at al-Abwa' while she was going to visit her maternal relatives among Banu al-Najjar. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith was also the foster brother of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), since Halimah al-Sa'diyyah nursed them both, and he was also his paternal cousin. Then he treated the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in an improper manner and satirised him several times, until Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) answered him in his famous ode in which he says: "You satirised Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and I answered on his behalf, and the reward for that is with Allah." This hadith and the ode are lengthy and are narrated in the Sahih of Imam Muslim. Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) used to ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to satirise Abu Sufyan, but he would not give him permission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, Abdullah bin Sa'd bin Abi Sarh hid with Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). Then Sayyiduna Uthman brought him and made him stand before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Accept the pledge of allegiance of Abdullah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and looked at him three times, then turned to his Companions and said: "Was there not a sensible man among you who would have stood up when he saw that I had withheld my hand from accepting his pledge, and killed him?" The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! We did not know what was in your heart. Why did you not signal to us with your eye?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not befitting for a prophet that his eyes should be treacherous, that is, give secret signals." 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 he said: Abdullah bin Abi Sarh used to write (the revelation) for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Satan made him slip, and he joined the disbelievers. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be killed. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) sought protection for him, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him protection. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Shurahbil bin Sa'd that he said: This verse was revealed concerning Abdullah bin Abi Sarh: "And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah, or says, 'It has been revealed to me,' while nothing has been revealed to him, and one who says, 'I will reveal the like of what Allah has revealed'?" [Surah al-An'am: 93] . Then, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah, he fled to Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), who was his foster brother. He kept him hidden with him until the people of Makkah had settled down, then he brought him to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he sought a guarantee of safety. Imam al-Hakim says: It is authentically established in the two books (Bukhari and Muslim) that before entering Makkah the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that Abdullah bin Sa'd and Abdullah bin Khatal be killed. So whoever looks at the martyrdom of the Commander of the Believers Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) and at the wrongs that Abdullah bin Sa'd committed against him in Egypt, until what happened to him happened, will know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) knew him (and his evil) best.
