| SahihMuslim-017-001-19326 | | Numan Bin Bashir reported: Allah is more pleased with the repentance of a believing servant than of a person who set out on a journey with a provision of food and drink on the back of his camel. He went on until he came to a waterless desert and he felt like sleeping. So he got down under the shade of a tree and was overcome by sleep and his camel ran away. As he got up he tried to see the camel standing upon a mound. but did not find it. He then got upon the other mound; but could not see anything. He then climbed upon the third mound but did not see anything until he came back to the place where he had been previously. And as he was sitting in utter disappointment there came to him the camel; till that camel placed its nosestring in his hand. Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than the person who found his lost camel in this very state. Simak reported that Shabi was of the opinion that Numin traced it to Allah Apostle ﷺ. Simak; however; did not hear that himself. | The Chapter on Lost And Found And Quraish in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 1 in Sahih Muslim |
| SahihMuslim-017-001-19381 | | Ibn Shihab reported that Allah Messenger ﷺ made an expedition to Tabuk and he the Holy Prophet had in his mind the idea of threatening the Christians of Arabia in Syria and those of Rome. Ibn Shihab further reported that Abdulrahman Bin Abdullah Bin Kaab informed him that Abdullah Bin Kaab who served as the guide of Kaab Bin Malik as he became blind that he heard Kaab Bin Malik narrate the story of his remaining behind Allah Messenger ﷺ from the Battle of Tabuk. Kaab Bin Malik said: I never remained behind Allah Messenger ﷺ from any expedition which he undertook except the Battle of Tabuk and that of the Battle of Badr. So far as the Battle of Badr is concerned; nobody was blamed for remaining behind as Allah Messenger ﷺ and the Muslims did not set out for attack but for waylaying the caravan of the Quraish; but it was Allah Who made them confront their enemies without their intention to do so. I had the honour to be with Allah Messenger ﷺ on the night of Aqaba when we pledged our allegiance to Islam and it was more dear to me than my participation in the Battle of Badr; although Badr was more popular amongst people as compared with that Tabuk. And this is my story of remaining back from Allah Messenger ﷺ on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk. Never did I possess means enough and my circumstances more favourable than at the occasion of this expedition. And; by Allah; I had never before this expedition simultaneously in my possession two rides. Allah Messenger ﷺ set out for this expedition in extremely hot season; the journey was long and the land which he and his army had to cover was waterless and he had to confront a large army; so he informed the Muslims about the actual situation they had to face ; so that they should adequately equip themselves for this expedition; and he also told them the destination where he intended to go. And the Muslims who accompanied Allah Messenger ﷺ at that time were large in numbers but there was no proper record of them. Kaab further said: Few were the persons who wanted to absent themselves; and were under the impression that they could easily conceal themselves and thus remain undetected until revelations from Allah; the Exalted and Glorious descended in connection with them. And Allah Messenger ﷺ set out on an expedition when the fruits were ripe and their shadows had been lengthened. I had weakness for them and it was during this season that Allah Messenger ﷺ made preparations and the Muslims too along with them. I also set out in the morning so that I should make preparations along with them but I came back and did nothing and said to myself: I have means enough to make preparations as soon as I like. And I went on doing this postponing my preparations until people were about to depart and it was in the morning that Allah Messenger ﷺ set out and the Muslims too along with him; but I made no preparations. I went early in the morning and came back; but I made no decision. I continued to do so until they the Muslims hastened and covered a good deal of distance. I also made up my mind to march on and to meet them. Would that I had done that but perhaps it was not destined for me. After the departure of Allah Messenger ﷺ as I went out amongst people; I was shocked to find that I did not find anyone like me but people who were labelled as hypocrites or the people whom Allah granted exemption because of their incapacity and Allah Messenger ﷺ took no notice of me until he had reached Tabuk. One day as he was sitting amongst the people in Tabuk he said: What has happened to Kaab Bin Malik? A person from Banu Salama said: Allah Messenger; the beauty of his cloak and his appreciation of his sides have allured him and he was thus detained. Muadh Bin Jabal said: Woe be upon that what you contend. Allah Messenger; by Allah; we know nothing about him but good. Allah Messenger ﷺ ; however; kept quiet. It was during that time that he the Holy Prophet saw a person dressed in all white garment shattering the illusion of eye mirage. Thereupon Allah Messenger ﷺ said: May he be Abu Khaithama and; lo; it was Abu Khaithama AlAnsari and he was that person who contributed a sa of dates and was scoffed at by the hypocrites. Kaab Bin Malik farther said: When this news reached me that Allah Messenger ﷺ was on his way back from Tabuk I was greatly perturbed. I thought of fabricating false stories and asked myself how I would save myself from his anger on the following day. In this connection; I sought the help of every prudent man from amongst the members of my family and when it was said to me that Allah Messenger ﷺ was about to arrive; all the false ideas banished from my mind and I came to the conclusion that nothing could save me but the telling of truth; so I decided to speak the truth and it was in the morning that Allah Messenger ﷺ arrived in Medina. And it was his habit that as he came back from a journey he first went to the Masjid and observed two Rakahs of nafl prayer as a mark of gratitude and then sat amongst people. And as he did that; those who had remained behind him began to put forward their excuses and take an oath before him and they were more than eighty persons. Allah Messenger ﷺ accepted their excuses on the very face of them and accepted their allegiance and sought forgiveness for them and left their secret intentions to Allah; until I presented myself to him. I greeted him and he smiled and there was a tinge of anger in that. He the Holy Prophet then said to me: Come forward. I went forward until I sat in front of him. He said to me: What kept you back? Could you not afford to go in for a ride? I said: Allah Messenger; by Allah; if I were to sit in the presence of anybody else from amongst the worldly people I would have definitely saved myself from his anger on one pretext or the other and I have also the knack to fall into argumentation; but; by Allah; I am fully aware of the fact that if I were to put forward before you a false excuse to please you Allah would definitely provoke your wrath upon me; and if I speak the truth you may be annoyed with me; but I hope that Allah would make its end well and; by Allah; there is no valid excuse for me. By Allah; I never possessed so good means; and I never had such favourable conditions for me as I had when I stayed behind you failed to join the expedition. Thereupon; Allah Messenger ﷺ said: This man told the truth; so get up until Allah gives a decision in your case. I stood up and some people of Banu Salama followed me in hot haste; and they said to me: By Allah; we do not know about you that you committed a sin prior to this. You; however; showed inability to put forward an excuse before Allah Messenger ﷺ as those who stayed behind him have put forward excuses. It would have been enough for the forgiveness of your sin that Allah Messenger ﷺ would have sought forgiveness for you. By Allah; they continued to incite me until I thought of going back to Allah Messenger ﷺ and contradict myself. Then I said to them: Has anyone else also met the same fate? They said: Yes; two persons have met the same fate as has fallen to you and they have made the sane statement as you have made; and the same verdict has been delivered in their case as it has been delivered in your case. I said: Who are they? They said: Murara Bin AlRabia Amiri and Hilal Bin Umaya AlWaqafi. They made a mention of these two pious persons to me who had participated in the Battle of Badr and there was an example for me in them. I went away when they named these two persons. Allah Messenger ﷺ forbade the Nluslims to talk with three of us from amongst those persons who had stayed behind him. The people began to avoid us and their attitude towards us underwent a change and it seemed as if the whole atmosphere had turned hostile against us and it was in fact the same atmosphere ot which I was fully aware and in which I had lived for a fairly long time. We spent fifty nights in this very state and my two friends confined themselves withen their houses and spent most of the time in weeping; but as I was young and strong amongst them I got out of my house ; participated in congregational prayers; moved about in the bazar; but none spoke to me. I came to Allah Messenger ﷺ as he sat amongst people after the prayer; greeted him and asked myself whether his lips stirred in response to my greetings or not. Then I observed prayer beside him and looked at him with stealing glances and when I attended to my prayer; he looked at me and when I cast a glance at him he turned away his eyes from me. And when the harsh treatment of the Muslims towards me extended to a considerable length of time; I walked until I climbed upon the wall of the garden of Abu Qatada; and he was my cousin; and I had the greatest love for him. I greeted him but; by Allah; he did not respond to my greetings. I said to him: Abu Qatada; I adjure you by Allah; arnt you well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger ﷺ the most. He kept quiet. I again repeated saying: I adjure you by Allah. arnt you well aware of the fact that I love Allah and His Messenger ﷺ the most. He kept quiet. I again adjured him; whereupon he said: Allah and the Messenger ﷺ are best aware of it. My eyes began to shed tears and I came back climbing down from the wall and as I was walking in the bazar of Medina a Nabatean from amongst the Nabateans of Syria; who had come to sell foodgrains in Medina; asked people to direct him to Kaab Bin Malik. People gave him the indication by pointing towards me. He came to me and delivered to me a letter of the King of Ghassan and as I was a scribe I read that letter and it was written like this: Coming to my point; it has been conveyed to us that your friend the Holy Prophet is subjecting you to cruelty and Allah has not created you for a place where you are to be degraded and where you cannot find your right place; so you come to us that we should accord you honour. As I read that letter I said: This is also a calamity; so I burnt it in the oven. When out of the fifty days; forty days had passed and Allah Messenger ﷺ received no revelation; there came the messenger of Allah Messenger ﷺ to me and said: Verily; Allah Messenger ﷺ has commanded you to remain separate from your wife. I said: Should I divorce her or what else should I do? He said: No; but only remain separate from her and dont have sexual contact with her. The same message was sent to my companions. So I said to my wife: You better go to your parents and stay there with them until Allah gives the decision in my case. The wife of Hilal Bin Umaya came to Allah Messenger ﷺ and said: Allah Messenger; Hilal Bin Umaya is a senile person; he has no servant. Do you disapprove of my serving him? He said: No; but dont go near him. She said: By Allah; he has no such instinct in him. By Allah; he spends his time in weeping from that day to this day. Some of the members of my family said to me: Were you to seek permission from Allah Messenger ﷺ in regard to your wife as he has granted permission to the wife of Hilal Bin Umaya to serve him. I said: I would not seek permission from Allah Messenger ﷺ ; for I cannot say what Allah Apostle may say in response to seeking my permission. Moreover; I am a young man. It was in this state that I spent ten more nights and thus fifty nights had passed that people had observed boycott with us. It was on the morning of the fiftieth night that I observed my dawn prayer and was sitting on one of the roofs of our houses. And I was in fact sitting in that very state which Allah; the Exalted and Glorious; has described about us in these words: Life had become hard for myself and the earth had compressed despite its vastness; that I heard the noise of an announcer from the peak of the hill of Sal saying at the top of his voice: Kaab Bin Malik; there is glad tidings for you. I fell down in prostration and came to realise that there was a message of relief for me. Allah Messenger ﷺ had informed the people of the acceptance of our repentance by Allah as he offered the dawn prayer. So the people went on to give us glad tidings and some of them went to my friends in order to give them the glad tidings and a person galloped his horse and came from the tribe of Aslam and his horse reached me more quickly than his voice. And when he came to me whose sound I heard; he gave me the glad tidings. I took off my clothes and clothed him with them because of his bringing good news to me and; by Allah; I possessed nothing else in the form of clothes than these two on that occasion; and I asked one to lend me two clothes and dressed myself in them. I came to Allah Messenger ﷺ and on my way I met groups of people who greeted me because of the acceptance of repentance and they said: Here is a greeting for you for your repentance being accepted by Allah. I moved on until I came to the Masjid and Allah Messenger ﷺ had been sitting there amongst persons. So Talha Bin Ubaidullah got up and rushed towards me and he shook hands with me and greeted me and; by Allah; no person stood up to greet me from amongst the emigrants except he. Kaab said that he never forgot this good gesture of Talha. Kaab further said: I greeted Allah Messenger ﷺ with Assalam-o-Alaikam and his face was glistening because of delight; and he said: Let there be glad tidings and blessings for you; the like of which you have neither found nor you will find; as you find today since your mother gave your birth. I said: Allah Messenger. is this acceptance of repentance from you or from Allah? He said: No; it is not from ma ; it is from Allah; and it was common with Allah Messenger ﷺ that as he was happy his face brightened up and it looked like a part of the moon and it was from this that we recognised it his delight. As I sat before him; I said: Allah Messenger; am I allowed to give in charity my wealth for Allah sake and for the sake of His Messenger ﷺ ? Thereupon Allah Messenger ﷺ said: Keep some property with you as it is better for you. I said: I shall keep with me that part of my property which fell to my lot on the occasion of the expedition of Khaibar. I said: Allah Messenger; verily; Allah has granted me salvation because of truth and; therefore; I think that repentance implies that I should not speak anything but truth as long as I live. He said: By Allah; I do not know whether anyone amongst the Muslims was put to more severe trial than I by Allah because of telling the truth. And since I made a mention of this to Allah Messenger ﷺ up to this day I have not told any lie and; by Allah; I have decided not to tell a lie and I hope that Allah would save me from trials for the rest of my life and Allah; the Exalted and Glorious; revealed these verses: Certainly; Allah has turned in Mercy to the Prophet and the emigrants and the helpers who followed him in the hour of hardship after the hearts of a part of them were about to deviate; then He turned to them in mercy. Surely; to them He is Compassionate; Merciful and He turned in Mercy to the three who were left behind until the earth despite its vastness became strait for them and their souls were also straitened to them. And this revelation reached up to the words : O you who believe; develop God consciousness; and be with the truthful ix. 117-118. Kaab said: By Allah; since Allah directed me to Islam there has been no blessing more significant for me than this truth of mine which I spoke to Allah Messenger ﷺ and if I were to tell a lie I would have been ruined as were ruined those who told lies; for in regard to those who told lies Allah used harshest words used for anyone as He descended revelation and the words of Allah are : They will swear by Allah to you when you retu n to them so that you may leave them alone. So leave them alone. Surely; they are unclean and their resort is Hell; recompense for what they earned. They will swear to you that you may be pleased with them but if you are pleased with them; yet surely Allah is not pleased with the transgressing people ix. 95-96. Kaab said that the matter of us three persons was deferred as compared with those who took an oath in the presence of Allahs Messenger ﷺ and he accepted their allegiance and sought forgiveness for them and Allah did not give any decision in regard to us. It was Allah; the Exalted and Glorious; Who gave decisions in our case; three who remained behind. The words of the Quran the three who were left behind do not mean that we remained back from Jihad but these imply that He kept our matter behind them who took oath and presented excuse before Him.

Allah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother; and he who treads the path in search of knowledge; Allah would make that path easy; leading to Paradise for him and those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of Allah Masjids and recite the Book of Allah and they learn and teach the Quran among themselves there would descend upon them tranquility and mercy would cover them and the angels would surround them and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him; and he who is slow-paced in doing good deeds; his high lineage does not make him go ahead. | The Chapter on Debt And Creditors And Money in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 11 in Sahih Muslim |

They said: Allah Messenger; a person from the emigrants struck at the back of an Ansari; whereupon he said: It is something disgusting. Abdullah Bin Ubay heard it and said: They have indeed done it. By Allah; when we would return to Medina the respectable amongst them the Ansar would turn away the mean the emigrants. Thereupon Umar said: Permit me so that I should strike the neck of this hypocrite.

Thereupon he Umar said: What stood in your way that you did not turn up? I said: I did come to you and paid you salutations at your door three times but I was not given any response; so I came back as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said: When any one of you seeks permission three times and he is not granted permission; he should come back. Umar said: Bring a witness to support that you say; otherwise I shall take you to task. Ubay Bin Kaab said: None should stand with him as a witness but the youngest amongst the people. Abu Saeed said: I am the youngest amongst the people; whereupon he said: Then you go with him to support his contention. | The Chapter on Tamim Arab Tribe in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 7 in Sahih Muslim |

Ubay Bin Kaab said: What is the iiiatter? He said: I sought permission yesterday from Umar Bin AlKhattab three times but he did not permit me; so I came back; then I went to him today and visited him and informed him that I had come to him yesterday and greeted him thrice; then came back; whereupon he said: Yes; we did hear you but be were at that time busy; but why did you not seek permission further and you must have never gone back until you were permitted to do so. He said: I sought permission in the manner that I heard Allah Messenger ﷺ having said in connection With the seeking of permission for entering the house of a stranger. Thereupon he Hadrat Umar said: By Allah; I shall torture your back and your stomach unless you bring one who may bear witness to what you state. Ubay Bin Kaab said: By Allah; none should stand with you to bear testimony but the youngest amongst us. And he therefore; said to Abu Said: Stand up.

He Hadrat Umar sent someone to pursue him so that he should be brought back.

He asked that lady to calculate the amount until they would; God willing; come back to her. So we proceeded on until we came to Tabuk and Allah Messenger ﷺ said: The violent storm will overtake you during the night; so none amongst you should stand up and he who has a camel with him should hobble it firmly. A violent storm blew and a person who had stood up was carried away by the storm and thrown between the mountains of Tay. Then the messenger of the son of AlAlma; the ruler of Aila; came to Allah Messenger ﷺ with a letter and a gift of a white mule. Allah Messenger ﷺ wrote him the reply and presented him a cloak. We came back until we halted in the Wadi AlQura. Allah Messenger ﷺ asked that lady about her garden and the price of the fruits in that. She said: Ten wasqs.

Some of them said: You Umar have set forth for a task; and; therefore; we would not advise you to go back; whereas some of them said: You have along with you the remnants of the sacred galaxy of men and the blessed Companions of Allah Messenger ﷺ ; so we would not advise you to go forth towards this calamity with such eminent persons and thus expose them deliberately to a danger. He Hadrat Umar said: You can now go away. He said: Call to me the Ansar. So I called them to him; and he consulted them; and they trod the same path as was trodden by the Muhajirin; and they differed in their opinions as they had differed. He said: Now; you can go. He again said: Call to me the old persons of the Quraish who had migrated before the Victory that is the Victory of Mecca ; so I called them and Hadrat Umar consulted them and not even two persons differed from the opinion held by the earlier delegates. They said: Our opinion is that you better go back along with the people and do not make them go to this scourge; So Umar made announcement to the people: In the morning I would be on the back of my side. So they set forth in the morning ; whereupon Abu Ubaida Bin Jarrah said: Are you going to run away from the Divine Decree? Thereupon Umar said: Had it been someone else to say this besides you! Umar in fact did not approve of his opposing this decision and he said: Yes; we are running from the Divine Decree to the Divine Decree. You should think if there had been camels for you and you happened to get down in a valley having two sides; one of them covered with verdure and the other being barren; would you not be doing according to the Divine Decree if you graze them in verdure? And in case you graze them in the barren land even then you would be grazing them according to the Divine Decree. There happened to come Abdulrahman Bin Auf and he had been absent in connection with some of his needs. He said: I have with me a knowledge of it; that I heard Allah Messenger ﷺ as saying: If you hear of its presence the presence of plague in a land; dont enter it; but if it spreads in the land where you are; dont fly from it. Thereupon Umar Bin AlKhattab praised Allah and then went back? | The Chapter on Revelation And Quraish in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 32 in Sahih Muslim |

Abdulrahman Bin Auf narrated to him that Allah Messenger ﷺ had said: When you hear of its presence in a land; dont move towards it; and when it breaks out in a land and you are therein; then dont run away from it. So Umar Bin AlKhattab came back from Sargh. Salim Bin Abdullah reported that Umar went back; along with people on hearing the hadith reported on the authority of Abdulrahman Bin Auf. | The Chapter on Cities Syria And Amadinah in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 32 in Sahih Muslim |
| SahihMuslim-017-001-20364 | | Abu AlSaib; the freed slaved of Hisham Bin Zuhra; said that he visited Abu Saeed Khudri in his house; and he further said: I found him saying his prayer; so I sat down waiting for him to finish his prayer when I heard a stir in the bundles of wood lying in a comer of the house. I looked towards it and found a snake. I jumped up in order to kill it; but he Abu Saeed Khudri made a gesture that I should sit down. So I sat down and as he finished the prayer he pointed to a room in the house and said: Do you see this room? I said: Yes. He said: There was a young man amongst us who had been newly wedded. We went with Allah Messenger ﷺ to participate in the Battle of Trench when a young man in the midday used to seek permission from Allah Messenger ﷺ to return to his family. One day he sought permission from him and Allah Messenger ﷺ after granting him the permission said to him: Carry your weapons with you for I fear the tribe of Quraidha may harm you. The man carried the weapons and then came back and found his wife standing between the two doors. He bent towards her smitten by jealousy and made a dash towards her with a spear in order to stab her. She said: Keep your spear away and enter the house until you see that which has made me come out. He entered and found a big snake coiled on the bedding. He darted with the spear and pierced it and then went out having fixed it in the house; but the snake quivered and attacked him and no one knew which of them died first; the snake or the young man. We came to Allah Apostle ﷺ and made a mention to him and said: Supplicate to Allah that that man may be brought back to life. Thereupon he said: Ask forgiveness for your companion and then said: There are in Medina jinns who have accepted Islam; so when you see any one of them; pronounce a warning to it for three days; and if they appear before you after that; then kill it for that is a devil. | The Chapter on Premises in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 37 in Sahih Muslim |
| SahihMuslim-017-001-20619 | | Aisha; the wife of Allah Apostle mav ﷺ ; and Uthman both reported that Abu Bakr sought permission from Allah Messenger ﷺ for entrance in his apartment as he had been lying on his bed covered with the bed-sheet of Aisha; and he gave permission to Abu Bakr in that very state and he; having his need fulfilled; went back. Then Umar sought permission and it was given to him in that very state and; after having his need fulfilled; he went back. And Uthman reported: Then I sought permission from him and he got up and raid to Aisha: Wrap yourself well with your cloth; then I got my need fulfilled and came back. And Aisha said: Allah Messenger; why is it that I did not see you feeling any anxiety in case of dressing properly in the presence of Abu Bakr and Umar Allah be pleased with them as you showed in case of Uthman. Thereupon Allah Messenger ﷺ said: Verily Uthman is a person who is very modest and I was afraid that if I permitted him to enter in this very state he would not inform me of his need. | The Chapter on Fulfilling Obligations To Mother Almasjid And Leaders in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 3 in Sahih Muslim |
| SahihMuslim-017-001-20638 | | Sahl Bin Saad reported that a person from the offspring of Marwan was appointed as the governor of Medina. He called Sahl Bin Saad and ordered him to abuse Ali. Sahl refused to do that. He the governor said to him: If you do not agree to it at least say: May Allah curse Abu Turab. Sahl said: There was no name dearer to Ali than Abu Turab for it was given to him by the Prophet himself and he felt delighted when he was called by this name. He the governor said to him: Narrate to us the story of his being named as Abu Turab. He said: Allah Messenger ﷺ came to the house of Fatima and he did not find Ali in the house; whereupon he said: Where is your uncle son? She said: There cropped up something between me and him which had annoyed him with me. He went out and did not rest here. Allah Messenger ﷺ asked a person to find out where he was. He came and said: Allah Messenger; he is sleeping in the Masjid. Allah Messenger ﷺ came to him and found him lying in the Masjid and saw that his mantle had slipped from his back and his back was covered with dust and Allah Messenger ﷺ began to wipe it away from him from the body of Hadrat Ali saying: Get up; covered with dust Abu Turab ; get up; covered with dust. | The Chapter on Assignments And Appointments By The Governor in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on 4 in Sahih Muslim |
