It is narrated from Sayyidah Asma' bint Abi Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: In the year of the conquest of Makkah, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) halted at Dhu Tuwa, (her father) Abu Quhafah said to his youngest daughter: "O my dear daughter! Take me up onto (the mountain of) Abu Qubays" (and he had become blind). She took him up there, and he asked: "O daughter! What do you see?" She said: "I see a dark mass, and I see a man running swiftly back and forth in the midst of that mass." He said: "O daughter! Those are the cavalry." Then he asked: "What do you see now?" She said: "That dark mass has now spread out." He said: "Then, by Allah, the cavalry have advanced. O daughter! Now take me quickly to my house." She set off swiftly with him until, when she came down into the valley of al-Abtah, there was a silver necklace around her neck, and a man snatched it from her neck. Then, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the Mosque, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) brought his father, leading him by the hand. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him, he said: "Why did you not leave the old man in his house, so that I could have gone to him myself?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! It is more fitting that he should walk to you than that you should go to him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) seated him in front of himself, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over his chest and said: "Accept Islam, and you will be safe." So he accepted Islam. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, took his sister by the hand and called out: "I ask, by Allah and by Islam, for my sister's necklace." But by Allah, no one brought it. He called out a second time: "I ask, by Allah and by Islam, for my sister's necklace." But still no one came. So he said (to his sister): "O my dear sister! Seek the reward (from Allah) for the loss of your necklace, for by Allah, trustworthiness has become very scarce among people these days." 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 Amr bin Salimah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We lived at a place where people commonly passed by, and the passing caravans would tell us news. We would ask them: "What is this matter (of prophethood), and what is the state of the people?" They would say that there was a man who claimed that Allah Almighty had sent him as His Messenger and that Allah revealed such and such to him. Meanwhile the other Arab tribes had made their acceptance of Islam conditional on the conquest of Makkah, and they would say: "Leave him to his people; if he prevails over them, then he is a true prophet, so believe in him." So when the conquest of Makkah took place, every people hastened to accept Islam. My father too went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with the news of his people's Islam. After staying there for some time, he came back and we went to meet him. He said: "I have come to you from the true Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded you with such and such things and said: 'When the time of prayer comes, let one of you give the call to prayer (adhan), and let the one who knows the most Qur'an lead you in prayer.'" When the people looked, they found no one who knew more Qur'an than me, so they put me forward to lead the prayer, while I was only six or seven years old. I used to lead them in prayer, and when I went into prostration my small cloak would ride up. At this a woman of the tribe said: "Cover the backside of your reciter from us." The narrator says: Then a garment made in Bahrain was bought for me for six or seven dirhams and I was clothed in it. Nothing in my life made me as happy as getting that garment. Imam Bukhari narrated this hadith from Sulayman bin Harb in abridged form, whereas I have presented it here in full detail.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: On the day of the conquest, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah in such a manner that, out of humility and lowliness, his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed chin was touching his saddle. 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 Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the conquest of Makkah a man spoke with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and (out of awe of him (peace and blessings be upon him)) he began to tremble. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said (with great kindness): "Take it easy, for I am only the son of a woman of Quraysh who used to eat dried meat (qadid)." 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 Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: On the day of the battle of Hunayn, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called the Ansar and said: "O company of the Ansar!" They replied: "Labbayk (here we are at your service), may our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Turn your faces towards Allah and His Messenger, and He will admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow." So they turned with fervour, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) was surrounded by a throng whose shoulders were rubbing against one another (because of the crowding), and they fought steadfastly until Allah defeated the polytheists. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it; and the narration of Mubarak bin Fadalah is a supporting witness (shahid) for it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: On the day of the battle of Hunayn, the people of Makkah and the people of Madinah met the enemy, and the fighting grew intense, and the Muslims (at first) turned their backs. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called out to the Ansar and said: "O company of Muslims! I am the Messenger of Allah." They replied: "By Allah! It is to you that we have come." Then, with their heads lowered, they fought until Allah granted them victory. 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 Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished with the conquest of Makkah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) headed for Hunayn. Meanwhile Malik bin Awf al-Nasri had gathered Banu Nasr, Jusham, Sa'd bin Bakr, some groups of Banu Hilal and people of Banu Amr bin Asim bin Awf, and the allies of the tribe of Thaqif and Banu Malik had also joined them in full force. Then he set out against the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), taking with him their wealth, women and children. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) received news of them, he (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Hadrad al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Go and mingle with these people until you bring us certain news of them." He went and stayed there for a day or two, then came back and told him (peace and blessings be upon him) the situation. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Umar! Do you hear what Ibn Abi Hadrad is saying?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said (in astonishment): "Ibn Abi Hadrad has lied." At this Ibn Abi Hadrad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If you are calling me a liar, then you have at times called a liar one (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) who is better than me." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Do you hear what Ibn Abi Hadrad is saying?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Umar! You were once astray, and then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, guided you." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent word to Safwan bin Umayyah and asked him for one hundred coats of armour along with the necessary war equipment that goes with them. He asked: "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Are you taking this by force?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather it is a loan with a guarantee of return, 'ariyah madmunah (a guaranteed loan), until we return it to you." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out (with the army). 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 Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Hunayn the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of a hair from the side of a camel, then said: "O people! Of the spoils of war that Allah has given you, not even as much as this hair is lawful for me except the fifth (khums), and that fifth too is returned to you (after its prescribed expenditures). So hand over (of the spoils) even the thread and the needle, and beware of embezzlement, for it will be a source of shame and disgrace for the one who embezzles on the Day of Resurrection. And hold fast to jihad in the path of Allah, for it is one of the gates of Paradise, through which Allah Almighty removes worry and grief." The narrator says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked extra spoils (nafl), and he would say: "So that the strong among the believers return that wealth to their weak."

It is narrated from Abu Najih al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We besieged the fortress of Ta'if with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever shoots an arrow (at the enemy) will have a rank in Paradise." So that day I shot sixteen arrows. And I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever shoots an arrow in the path of Allah, it is equal to freeing a slave; and whoever's hair turns white while in Islam, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection; and any man who frees a Muslim man, Allah Almighty will make every bone of him (the freed slave) a means of protecting every bone of him (the one who freed him) from the Fire; and any Muslim woman who frees a Muslim woman, Allah Almighty will make every bone of her (the freed woman) a means of protection from the Fire for every bone of her (the one who freed her)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) with a high ('ali) 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 the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed four Umrahs: the Umrah of al-Hudaybiyah; the Umrah of Qada' in the following year; the third from al-Ji'ranah; and the fourth, the Umrah that he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed together with his Hajj. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
