حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ لِعُمَرَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَوْ أَنَّ عَلَيْنَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ { الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلاَمَ دِينًا} لاَتَّخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ أَىَّ يَوْمٍ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ نَزَلَتْ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ. سَمِعَ سُفْيَانُ مِنْ مِسْعَرٍ وَمِسْعَرٌ قَيْسًا وَقَيْسٌ طَارِقًا.

Humaidi narrated to us that Sufyan (bin Uyainah) told us. He narrated from Mis'ar and some other narrators, Mis'ar from Qais bin Muslim, and Qais from Hazrat Tariq bin Shihab (ra). He said: A man from among the Jews said to Hazrat Umar (ra): Commander of the Faithful, if this verse had been revealed to us: “This day have I perfected your religion for you...” (Qur’an 5:4), we would have celebrated that day as a festival (Eid). Hazrat Umar (ra) said: I know well on which day this verse was revealed. It was revealed on the day of Arafah, on a Friday.

Yahya bin Bukair narrated to us that Laith told us. He narrated from Uqail, and Uqail from Ibn Shihab, that Hazrat Anas bin Malik (ra) informed me that he heard Hazrat Umar (ra) on the second day, when the Muslims pledged allegiance to Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra), and Hazrat Umar (ra) was standing on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah (saw). He recited the testimony of faith before Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) spoke, and said: Now to proceed. For His Messenger (saw) Allah has preferred the blessings that are with Him over the blessings that are with you. And act according to this Book through which Allah guided your Messenger; you too will find the same path to which Allah guided His Messenger.

Muhammad bin Ubadah narrated to us that Yazid told us. Salim bin Hayyan narrated to us, and (Yazid) praised him. Sa'id bin Mina told us. (He said:) He told us, or (he said:) I heard Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (ra). He used to say: Angels came to the Prophet (saw) while he (saw) was asleep. Some of them said: He is asleep. And some said: The eye is asleep but the heart is awake. Then they said: There is a parable for this companion of yours. So (one) said: Then state his parable. Then some said: He is asleep. And some said: The eye is asleep but the heart is awake. They said: His parable is that of a man who built a house and prepared a feast in it and sent a caller. So whoever accepted the invitation of the caller entered the house and ate of the feast, and whoever did not accept the invitation of the caller did not enter the house and did not eat of the feast. Then those angels said: Explain the meaning of this parable to him so that he may understand it. So one of them said: He is asleep. And another said: The eye is asleep but the heart is awake. Then they said: This house is Paradise, and the caller is Muhammad (saw). Whoever obeyed Muhammad (saw) obeyed Allah, and whoever disobeyed Muhammad (saw) disobeyed Allah. And Muhammad (saw) is the one who distinguishes (the genuine from the false) among people. (Like Muhammad bin Ubadah) Qutaibah also narrated this hadith. He narrated from Laith, Laith from Khalid, Khalid from Sa'id bin Abi Hilal, and Sa'id from Hazrat Jabir (ra), that the Prophet (saw) came out to us.

Abu Kuraib narrated to us that Abu Usamah told us. Abu Usamah narrated from Buraid, Buraid from Abu Burdah, Abu Burdah from Hazrat Abu Musa (ra), and Hazrat Abu Musa (ra) from the Prophet (saw). He (saw) said: “The parable of me and of the message with which Allah has sent me is like that of a man who came to a people and said: ‘O my people, I have seen the army with my own eyes, and I am a plain warner; so flee to save your lives.’ Then a group of that people heeded him, and they left at night, calmly and carefully, and were saved. And a group denied him; they stayed in their places until morning. The army raided them in the morning, destroyed them and uprooted them. This, then, is the parable of those who obey me and follow what I have brought, and the parable of those who disobey me and deny the truth that I have brought.”

Qutaibah bin Sa'id narrated to us that Laith told us. He narrated from Uqail, and Uqail from Zuhri, that Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Utbah informed me. Ubaidullah narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra). He said: When the Messenger of Allah (saw) passed away and Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) was made Khalifah after him (saw), and those of the Arabs who were to disbelieve disbelieved, Hazrat Umar (ra) said to Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra): How will you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah (saw) has said: “I have been commanded to fight the people until they affirm that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; and whoever has said La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah) has saved his property and his life from me, except when it is taken for some right, and his reckoning rests with Allah”? Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) (hearing this) replied: By Allah, I will surely fight the one who makes a distinction between the Prayer (Salat) and the Zakat, for Zakat is the right (of Allah) that is taken from wealth. By Allah, even if the people withheld from me the rope-tether that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (saw), I would fight them for withholding it. Hazrat Umar (ra) said: By Allah, the matter was only this: I saw that Allah had opened the breast of Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) for fighting. Then I too understood that this was the truth. Ibn Bukair and Abdullah reported from Laith 'anaqan (that is, a young female kid) (instead of 'iqal), and that is more correct.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَعْدَهُ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ عُمَرُ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ. فَمَنْ قَالَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ. عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهِ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ". فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلاَةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عِقَالاً كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهِ. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِلْقِتَالِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ. قَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ عَنَاقًا. وَهْوَ أَصَحُّ.

Qutaibah bin Sa'id narrated to us that Laith told us. He narrated from Uqail, and Uqail from Zuhri, that Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Utbah informed me. Ubaidullah narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (ra). He said: When the Messenger of Allah (saw) passed away and Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra) was made Khalifah after him (saw), and those of the Arabs who were to disbelieve disbelieved, Hazrat Umar (ra) said to Hazrat Abu Bakr (ra): How will you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah (saw) has said: “I have been commanded to fight the people until they affirm that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; and whoever has said La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah) has saved his property and his life from me, except when it is taken for some right, and his reckoning rests with Allah”?

حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَدِمَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى ابْنِ أَخِيهِ الْحُرِّ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ حِصْنٍ وَكَانَ مِنَ النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ يُدْنِيهِمْ عُمَرُ وَكَانَ الْقُرَّاءُ أَصْحَابَ مَجْلِسِ عُمَرَ وَمُشَاوَرَتِهِ كُهُولاً كَانُوا أَوْ شُبَّانًا فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ لاِبْنِ أَخِيهِ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي هَلْ لَكَ وَجْهٌ عِنْدَ هَذَا الأَمِيرِ فَتَسْتَأْذِنَ لِي عَلَيْهِ قَالَ سَأَسْتَأْذِنُ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ لِعُيَيْنَةَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَاللَّهِ مَا تُعْطِينَا الْجَزْلَ وَمَا تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْعَدْلِ. فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ حَتَّى هَمَّ بِأَنْ يَقَعَ بِهِ فَقَالَ الْحُرُّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم {خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ} وَإِنَّ هَذَا مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ. فَوَاللَّهِ مَا جَاوَزَهَا عُمَرُ حِينَ تَلاَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ وَقَّافًا عِنْدَ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ.

Isma'il narrated to me that Ibn Wahb told me. He narrated from Yunus, and Yunus from Ibn Shihab, that Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Utbah told me that Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (ra) said: Uyainah bin Hisn bin Hudhaifah bin Badr came to Medina and stayed with his nephew Hurr bin Qais bin Hisn. And Hurr was one of those whom Hazrat Umar (ra) used to seat close to him; and the scholars, whether old or young, were the ones who sat in the gathering of Hazrat Umar (ra) and gave him counsel. Uyainah said to his nephew: My nephew, do you have any standing with this Commander (of the Faithful) so that you may get permission for me to come to him? Hurr said: I will get permission for you to come to him. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (ra) said: Then Hurr asked permission for Uyainah. When Uyainah came in, he said: Son of Khattab, by Allah, you neither give us wealth nor judge justly between us. Hearing this, Hazrat Umar (ra) became angry, so much so that he was about to punish him somewhat, when Hurr said: Commander of the Faithful, Allah, the Exalted, has said to His Prophet (saw): “Take to forgiveness, and enjoin kindness, and turn away from the ignorant” (Qur’an 7:200). And this man is one of the ignorant. By Allah, when Hurr recited this verse before Hazrat Umar (ra), he did not go beyond this verse, and he used to stop completely at the Book of Allah.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ ابْنَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ عَائِشَةَ حِينَ خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالنَّاسُ قِيَامٌ وَهْىَ قَائِمَةٌ تُصَلِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَشَارَتْ بِيَدِهَا نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَتْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ. فَقُلْتُ آيَةٌ. قَالَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ نَعَمْ. فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " مَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ لَمْ أَرَهُ إِلاَّ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي مَقَامِي حَتَّى الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَأُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّكُمْ تُفْتَنُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ ـ أَوِ الْمُسْلِمُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ ـ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ جَاءَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَأَجَبْنَا وَآمَنَّا. فَيُقَالُ نَمْ صَالِحًا عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ مُوقِنٌ. وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ ـ أَوِ الْمُرْتَابُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ ـ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ ".

Abdullah bin Maslamah narrated to us. He narrated from Malik, Malik from Hisham bin Urwah, Hisham from Fatimah bint Mundhir, and Fatimah from Hazrat Asma bint Abi Bakr (ra). She said: When the sun was eclipsed, I came to Hazrat Aishah (ra), and the people were standing, and she too was standing in Prayer. I said: What is the matter with the people? Hazrat Aishah (ra) pointed with her hand towards the sky and said: Holy is Allah! I said: Is it a sign? She signalled with her head: Yes. When the Messenger of Allah (saw) finished the Prayer, he (saw) praised and glorified Allah. Then he (saw) said: “Everything that I had not seen I have seen in this place of mine, even Paradise and Hell. And it has been revealed to me that you will be tried in the graves nearly as much as by the trial of the Dajjal. Then the one who is a believer,” or “the one who is a Muslim,” (Fatimah used to say:) I do not know which of these words Hazrat Asma (ra) said, “will say: ‘Muhammad (saw) brought us clear proofs. We obeyed him and believed.’ Then it will be said: ‘Sleep in peace. We knew that you were one who believes with certainty.’ And the one who is a hypocrite,” or “one who doubts,” (Fatimah used to say:) I do not know which of these words Hazrat Asma (ra) said, “will say: ‘I do not know. I heard the people say something, and I too said it.’”
