She returned; and on the next day she came to him again; and said: Perhaps you want to send me back as you did to Maiz Bin Malik. I swear by Allah; I am pregnant. He said to her: Go back. She then returned and came to him the next day. He said to her: Go back until you give birth to a child. She then returned. When she gave birth to a child; she brought the child to him; and said: Here it is! I have given birth to it. He said: Go back; and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him; she brought him the boy to him with something in his hand which he was eating. The boy was then given to a certain man of the Muslims and he the Prophet commanded regarding her. So a pit was dug for her; and he gave orders about her and she was stoned to death. Khalid was one of those who were throwing stones at her. He threw a stone at her. When a drop blood fell on his cheeks; he abused her. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: Gently; Khalid. By Him in whose hand my soul is; she has reported to such an extent that if one who wrongfully takes extra tax were to repent to a like extent; he would be forgiven. Then giving command regarding her; prayed over her and she was buried. | The Chapter on Gifts And Child Birth in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Regarding the woman of Juhainah whom the prophet pbuh ordered to be stoned in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

Then Amr Ibn Umayah AlDamri came to me and said: I have been told that you are intending to make a journey and are seeking a companion. I said: Yes. He said: I am your companion. I then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I have found a companion. He asked: Who is he? I replied: Amr Ibn Umayah AlDamri. He said: When you come down to the territory of his people; be careful of him; for a maxim says: If one is your real brother; do not feel safe with him. So we proceeded; and when I reached AlAbwa; he said to me: I have some work with my people at Waddan; so stay here till I come back. I said: Do not lose your way. When he turned his back; I recalled the words of the Prophet ﷺ. So I rode my camel and galloped without stopping. When I reached AlAsafir; he was pursuing me with a group of men. So I galloped and forged ahead of him. When he saw me that I had outstripped him; they returned and he came to me. He said to me: I had some work with my people. I said: Yes. We then went on until we reached Mecca; and I gave the goods to Abu Sufyan. | The Chapter on Almadinah And Companions in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on To beware of people in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-27718 | | Nafi said on the authority of Ibn Umar that when he began prayer; he uttered the takbir Allah is most great and raised his hands; and when he bowed he raised his hands ; and when he said: Allah listens to him who praises Him; he raised his hands ; and when he stood up at the end of two rakahs; he raised his hands. He Ibn Umar traced that back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.Abu Dawud said: What is correct is that the tradition reported by Ibn Umar does not go back to the Prophet may peace beupon him.Abu Dawud said: The narrator Baqiyah reported the first part of this tradition from Ubaid Allah and traced it back to the Prophet ﷺ ; and the narrator AlThaqafi reported it from Ubaid Allah as a statement of Ibn Umar himself not from the Porphet. In this version he said: When he stood at the end of two rakahs he raised them up to his breasts. And this is the correct version.Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted as a statement of Ibn Umar and not of the Prophet by AlLaith Bin Sad; Malik; Ayoub ; and Ibn Juraij; and this has been narrated as a statement of the Prophet ﷺ by Hammad Bin Salamah alone on the authority of Ayoub. Ayoub and Malik did not mention his raising of hands when he stood after two prostrations; but AlLaith mentioned it in his version. Ibn Juraij said in this version: I asked Nafi: Did Ibn Umar raise his hands higher for the first time? He said: No; I said: Point out to me. He then pointed to the breasts or lower than that. | The Chapter on The Format Of Prostration in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on The Beginning Of The Prayer in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

He then came to prophet ﷺ and saluted him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: And upon you be peace. Go back and pray; for you have not prayed. He did so three times. Then the man said: By Him who has sent you as a Prophet with truth; I cannot do better than this; so teach me. He said: When you get up to pray; utter the takbir Allah is most great ; then recite a convenient portion of the Quran; then bow and remain quietly in that position; then sit and remain quietly in that position; then raise yourself and stand erect: then prostrate yourself and remain quietly in that position; then sit and remain quietly in that position; then do that throughout all your prayer.Abu Dawud said: AlQanabi reported this tradition from Said Bin Abi SaId on the authority of Abu Huraira.

I pronounce the Iqamah. He said ; Yes. So Abiu Bakr led the prayer ; and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back while the people were praying. He penetrated through the rows and stood in the first row. The people clapped but Abu Bakr did not pay any attention to it during prayer. When the people clapped increasingly; he paid attention. He saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a sign to him saying ; Stay at your place. Abu BAkr raised his hands and praised Allah for the commandment the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given him to lead the people in prayer. Abu Bakr then stepped back and stood in the row. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stepped forward and led the prayer. When he finished the prayer; he said; Abu Bakr; what prevented you staying at your place when I already commented you to do so? Abu Bakr said ; it was not befitting for the son of Abu Quhafah Abu Bakr to lead the prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said; What is the matter that I saw you clapping frequently during prayer? If anything happens to someone during prayer; he should say Glory be to Allah; for when he glorifies Allah. He pays attention to him.

| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-28581 | | Imran Bin Hosain said: Adba belonged to a man of Banu Aqil. It used to go ahead of pligrims. The man was then captivated. He was brought in chains to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ was riding on a donkey with a blanket on him. He said: Muhammad; why do you arrest me and capture the one i.e. the camel which goes ahead of the pilgrims. He replied: We are arresting you on account of the crime committed by your allies Thaqid. Thaqif captivated two persons from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. He said whatever he said I am a Muslim; or he said: I have embraced Islam. When the Prophet ﷺ went ahead; he called him: O Muhammed; O Muhammed. Abu Dawud said: I learnt it from the version of the narrator Muhammad Bin Isa. The Prophet ﷺ was compassionate and kind hearted. So he returned to him; and asked: What is the matter with you ? He replied: I am a Muslim. He said: Had you said it when the matter was in your hand; you would have succeeded completely. Abu Dawud said: I then returned to the version of the narrator Sulaiman Bin Harb. He said: Muhammad; I am hungry; so feed me. I am thirsty; so give me water. The Prophet ﷺ said: This is your need; or he said: This is his need the narrator is doubtful. Later on the man was taken back by Thaqif as a ransom for the two men of the Companions of the Prophet. The Prophet ﷺ retained Adba for his journey. The narrator said: The polytheists raided the pasturing animals of Medina and they took away Adba. When they took away Adba; they also captivated a Muslim woman. They used to leave their camels in the fields for rest at night. One night they slept and the Muslim woman stood up. Any camel on which she put her hand brayed until she came to Adba. She came to a camel which was docile and experienced. She then rode on her and vowed to Allah that if He saved her; she would sacrifice it. When she came to Medina; the people recognized the camel of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ was then informed about it and he sent for her. She was brought to him and she informed him about her vow. He said: It is a bad return that you have given it. Allah has not saved you; on its back that you now sacrifice it. A vow to do an act of disobedience must not be fulfilled; or to do something over which one has no control.Abu Dawud said: This woman was the wife of Abu Dharr. | The Chapter on Camels And Herdsmen And Holiness in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on A Vow Concerning What One Does Not Possess in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

The the people said: This is the banner of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So I came to him. He was sitting under a tree. A sheet of cloth was spread for him and he was sitting on it. His Companions were gathered around him. I sat with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned illness and said: When a believer is afflicted by illness and Allah cures him of it; it serves as an atonement for his previous sins and a warning to him for the future. But when a hypocrite becomes ill and is then cured; he is like a camel which has been tethered and then let loose by its owners; but does not know why they tethered it and why they let it loose. A man from among those around him asked: Messenger of Allah; what are illnesses? I swear by Allah; I never fell ill. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Get up and leave us. You do not belong to our number. When we were with him; a man came to him. He had a sheet of cloth and something in his hand. He turned his attention to him and said: Messenger of Allah; when I saw you; I turned towards you. I saw a group of trees and heard the sound of fledglings. I took them and put them in my garment. Their mother then came and began to hover round my head. I showed them to her; and she fell on them. I wrapped them with my garment. They are now with me. He said: Put them away from you. So I put them away; but their mother stayed with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions: Are you surprised at the affection of the mother for her young? They said: Yes; Messenger of Allah. He said: I swear by Him Who has sent me with the Truth; Allah is more affectionate to His servants than a mother to her young ones. Take them back put them and where you took them from when their mother should have been with them.

| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-29205 | | Narrated Ghalib AlQattan: Ghalib quoted a man who stated on the authority of his father that his grandfather reported: They lived at one of the springs. When Islam reached them; the master of the spring offered his people one hundred camels if they embraced Islam. So they embraced Islam; and he distributed the camels among them. But it occurred to him that he should take the camels back from them. He sent his son to the Prophet ﷺ and said to him: Go to the Prophet ﷺ and tell him: My father extends his greetings to you. He asked his people to give them one hundred camels if they embraced Islam; and they embraced Islam. He divided the camels among them. But it occurred to him then that he should withdraw his camels from them. Is he more entitled to them or we? If he says: Yes or no; then tell him: My father is an old man; and he is the chief of the people living at the water. He has requested you to make me chief after him. He came to him and said: My father has extended his greetings to you. He replied: On you and you father be peace. He said: My father asked his people to give them one hundred camels if they embraced Islam. So they embraced Islam; and their belief in Islam is good. Then it occurred to him that he should take his camels back from them. Is he more entitled to them or are they? He said: If he likes to give them the camels; he may give them; and if he likes to take them back; he is more entitled to them than his people. If they embraced Islam; then for them is their Islam. If they do not embrace Islam; they will be fought against in the cause of Islam. He said: My father is an old man; he is the chief of the people living at the spring. He has asked you to appoint me chief after him. He replied: The office of a chief is necessary; for people must have chiefs; but the chiefs will go to Hell. | The Chapter on Pre-Islam And Chiefs Embracing Islam in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Regarding AlArafah in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

When Sakhr heard this; he proceeded on his horse along with some horsemen to support the Prophet ﷺ. He found the Prophet of Allah ﷺ had returned and he did not conquer Taif. On that day Sakhr made a covenant with Allah and had His protection that he would not depart from that fortress until they the inhabitants surrendered to the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He did not leave them until they had surrendered to the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Sakhr then wrote to him: To proceed: Thaqif have surrendered to your command; Messenger of Allah; and I am on my way to them. They have horses with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then ordered prayers to be offered in congregation. He then prayed for Ahmas ten times: O Allah; send blessings the horses and the men of Ahmas. The people came and Mughirah Ibn Shubah said to him: Prophet of Allah; Sakhr took my paternal aunt while she embraced Islam like other Muslims. He called him and said: Sakhr; when people embrace Islam; they have security of their blood and property. Give back to Mughirah his paternal aunt. So he returned his aunt to him and asked the Prophet of Allah ﷺ : What about Banu Sulaym who have run away for fear of Islam and left that water? He said: Prophet of Allah; allow me and my people to settle there. He said: Yes. So he allowed him to settle there. Banu Sulaym then embraced Islam; and they came to Sakhr. They asked him to return their water to them. But he refused. So they came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Prophet of Allah; we embraced Islam and came to Sakhr so that he might return our water to us. But he has refused. He the Prophet then came to him and said: When people embrace Islam; they secure their properties and blood. Return to the people their water. He said: Yes; Prophet of Allah. I saw that the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was reddening at that moment; being ashamed of taking back from him the slave-girl and the water. | The Chapter on Pre-Islam And Child Embracing Islam in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Allocation Of Land in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
