Chapter:32 Ghazwa of Banu Al-Mustaliq or the Ghazwa of Al-Muraisi’
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4138
Narrated Ibn Muhairiz: I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Said Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl (i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Said said, “We went out with Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) for the Ghazwa of Banu Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives. We desired women, and celibacy became hard on us, so we loved to do coitus interruptus. When we intended to do so, we said, ‘How can we do this before asking Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him), who is present among us?’ We asked him about it, and he said, ‘It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul is predestined to exist until the Day of Resurrection, it will exist.'”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4139
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: We took part in the Ghazwa of Najd along with Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him). When the time for the afternoon rest approached while he was in a valley with plenty of thorny trees, he dismounted under a tree and rested in its shade and hung his sword on it. The people dispersed among the trees to seek shade. While we were in this state, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) called us, and we came to find a Bedouin sitting in front of him. The Prophet said, “This Bedouin came to me while I was asleep and took my sword stealthily. I woke up to find him standing by my head, holding my sword without its sheath. He said, ‘Who will save you from me?’ I replied, ‘Allah.’ So he sheathed it and sat down. But Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) did not punish him.”
Chapter:33 The Ghazwa of Anmar
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4140
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah Al-Ansari: I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) offering his Nawafil prayer on his mount facing the East during the Ghazwa of Anmar.
Chapter:34 The Statement of Allah: “Verily! Those who brought forth the slander…” (Qur’an 24:11)
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4141
Narrated ʿĀ’isha: Whenever Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) intended to go on a journey, he used to draw lots among his wives, and Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) would take with him the one on whom the lot fell. He drew lots among us during one of the battles which he fought, and the lot fell upon me. I went out with Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) after Allah had decreed the use of the veil for women, and I was carried in my howdah and set down in it. After the battle was over and on our return to Medina, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) ordered the people to march at night. So I went out to answer the call of nature and, after finishing, I returned to my howdah and noticed that my necklace made of ẓafar beads had fallen. I went back to search for my necklace and was delayed, and the people who used to carry me on my camel came and carried my howdah, thinking I was in it. In those days women were light, not having much flesh, for they used to eat only a little food, so those men did not doubt that I was in the howdah when they lifted it, and they carried it, setting it on the camel. They set off with it.
When I returned to the camp, there was not a single human being to be found. Then I went to the place where I used to stay, thinking that they would miss me and come back to me. While I was sitting there, I was overtaken by sleep. Ṣafwān bin al-Muʿaṭṭal as-Sulamī adh-Dhakwānī was behind the army. In the morning, he reached my place and saw the figure of a sleeping person. He recognized me when he saw me, as he had seen me before the order of hijab was prescribed. I woke up when he recited Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiʿun upon recognizing me. I veiled my face immediately with my garment. By Allah, he did not speak a single word to me except to make his camel kneel, on which I rode. He set off leading the camel that carried me until we reached the army at noon when they had halted for rest.
Then the people who were destined to be destroyed started spreading the slander, and the leader of the slander was ʿAbdullāh bin Ubayy bin Salūl. We arrived at Medina, and I fell ill for a whole month while the people were spreading the forged statements of the slanderers. I noticed nothing of all this until one day I went out after my recovery with Umm Mistah toward al-Manāṣiʿ. On our return, she stumbled over her robe and said, “May Mistah perish!” I said, “What a bad word you have said! Do you abuse a man who took part in the battle of Badr?” She said, “O my lady! Didn’t you hear what he has said?” Then she told me about the rumors, and I became even more ill.
When I returned home, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) called me and recited tashahhud, then said: “O ʿĀ’isha! I have been informed such and such about you; if you are innocent, then Allah will reveal your innocence, and if you have committed a sin, then ask forgiveness of Allah and repent to Him, for when a slave confesses his sin and repents to Allah, Allah accepts his repentance.” When Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) finished his speech, tears filled my eyes and I said to my father, “Reply to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) for me.” He said, “By Allah, I do not know what to say.” Then I said to my mother, “Reply to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him).” She said, “By Allah, I do not know what to say.” Then I said, “By Allah, I know that you have listened to what people are saying and that it has been planted in your hearts, and you have taken it as true. If I told you I am innocent—and Allah is my witness—you would not believe me. And if I admitted something—and Allah knows that I am innocent—you would believe me. I find no example for me and you except what the father of Yusuf said: So (for me) patience is most fitting. And it is Allah Whose help is sought against that which you assert.” Then I turned my face to the other side of the bed hoping that Allah would prove my innocence.
By Allah, I had never thought Allah would reveal Qur’anic verses about me that would be recited until the Day of Resurrection. Rather, I hoped that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) might have a dream in which Allah would declare my innocence. But by Allah, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) had not left his seat before the revelation came to him. So, there overtook him the state which used to overtake him when revelation descended upon him. He was sweating so much that the drops of sweat were like pearls, although it was a cold day. This state of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) overcame him until it ended, and he was smiling. The first word he said was: “Rejoice, O ʿĀ’isha! Allah has declared your innocence.” Then my mother said to me, “Get up and go to him.” I replied, “By Allah, I will not go to him, and I will not thank anyone except Allah Who revealed my innocence.”
Then Allah revealed: “Verily, those who brought forth the slander are a group among you…” (Qur’an 24:11–20). Allah revealed the innocence of ʿĀ’isha. Mistah bin Uthatha, Ḥassan bin Thābit, and Ḥamnah bint Jahsh were punished for involvement in the slander.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4142
Narrated Az-Zuhri: Al-Walid bin Abdul Malik said to me, "Have you heard that Ali’ was one of those who slandered Aisha?" I replied, "No, but two men from your people (named) Abu Salama bin Abdur-Rahman and Abu Bakr bin Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith have informed me that Aisha told them that Ali remained silent about her case.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4143
Narrated Masruq bin al-Ajdaʿ: Um Ruman, the mother of ʿAisha, said that while ʿAisha and she were sitting, an Ansari woman came and said, “May Allah harm such-and-such a person!” Um Ruman said to her, “What is the matter?” She replied, “My son was among those who talked of the story of the slander.” Um Ruman said, “What is that?” She said, “So-and-so…” and narrated the whole story. On that, ʿAisha said, “Did Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) hear about that?” She replied, “Yes.” ʿAisha further said, “And Abu Bakr too?” She replied, “Yes.” On that, ʿAisha fell down fainting, and when she came to her senses, she had fever with rigors. I put her clothes over her and covered her. The Prophet (peace be upon him) came and asked, “What is wrong with this lady?” Um Ruman replied, “O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)! She has got a fever with rigors.” He said, “Perhaps it is because of the story that has been talked about?” She said, “Yes.” ʿAisha sat up and said, “By Allah, if I took an oath that I am innocent, you would not believe me, and if I said that I am not innocent, you would not excuse me. My and your example is like that of Jacob and his sons when Jacob said: ‘It is Allah Whose help is to be sought against what you assert.’” Um Ruman said, “The Prophet (peace be upon him) then went out saying nothing. Then Allah declared her innocence.” On that, ʿAisha said to the Prophet (peace be upon him), “I thank Allah only; I thank neither anybody else nor you.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4144
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:
ʿAisha used to recite this verse: “When you received it with your tongues…” (Qur’an 24:15) and used to say: “Al-Walaq means telling of a lie.” She knew this verse more than anybody else as it was revealed about her.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4145
Narrated Hisham’s father:
I started abusing Hassan in front of ʿAisha. She said, “Do not abuse him, for he used to defend Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) against the infidels.” ʿAisha added, “Once Hassan sought permission from the Prophet (peace be upon him) to recite poetry against the infidels. On that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘How will you exclude my forefathers from that?’ Hassan replied, ‘I will take you out of them as one takes a hair out of the dough.’” Hisham’s father added, “I abused Hassan as he was one of those who had spoken against ʿAisha.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4146
Narrated Masruq: We went to ʿAisha while Hassan bin Thabit was with her, reciting poetry to her from some of his verses, saying:
“A chaste, wise lady about whom nobody can have suspicion.
She gets up with an empty stomach, for she never eats the flesh of indiscreet women.”
ʿAisha said to him, “But you are not like that.” I said to her, “Why do you grant him admittance, though Allah said: ‘And as for him among them who had the greater share therein, his will be a severe torment.’” (Qur’an 24:11). On that ʿAisha said, “And what punishment is greater than blindness?” She added, “Hassan used to defend, or say poetry on behalf of, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) against the infidels.”
Chapter: 35 The Ghazwa of Al-Hudaibiya
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4147
And the Statement of Allah: “Indeed, Allah was pleased with the believers when they gave you the pledge under the tree” (Qur’an 48:18).
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) in the year of Al-Hudaibiya. One night it rained and Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) led us in the Fajr prayer. After finishing it, he turned to us and said, “Do you know what your Lord has said?” We replied, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said, “Allah said: Some of My slaves this morning are believers in Me and some are disbelievers. The one who said, ‘We have been given rain through Allah’s Mercy, Allah’s Blessing and Allah’s Bounty,’ then he is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the stars. But whoever said, ‘We have been given rain because of such-and-such a star,’ then he is a believer in the star and a disbeliever in Me.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4148
Narrated Anas: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) performed four ʿUmras, all in the month of Dhul-Qaʿda, except the one which he performed with his Hajj in Dhul-Hijja. He performed one ʿUmra from Al-Hudaibiya in Dhul-Qaʿda, another ʿUmra in the following year in Dhul-Qaʿda, a third from Al-Jiʿrana where he distributed the war booty of Hunain in Dhul-Qaʿda, and the fourth ʿUmra he performed was with his Hajj.

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4150
Narrated Al-Bara: Do you people consider the conquest of Mecca as the Victory referred to in the Qur’an (48:1)? The conquest of Mecca was indeed a victory, but we considered the actual Victory to be the pledge of Ar-Ridwan which we gave on the day of Al-Hudaibiya to the Prophet (peace be upon him). On that day we were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet (peace be upon him). Al-Hudaibiya was a well whose water we used up until not a single drop remained. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was informed of that, he came and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of water, performed ablution from it, rinsed his mouth, invoked Allah, and poured the remaining water into the well. We stayed there for a while and then the well brought forth sufficient water for ourselves and our riding animals.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4151
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib: They were in the company of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) on the day of Al-Hudaibiya and their number was fourteen hundred or more. They camped at a well and drew its water until it was dried. When they informed Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him), he came and sat over its edge and said, “Bring me a bucket of its water.” When it was brought, he spat into it, invoked Allah, and said, “Leave it for a while.” Then they quenched their thirst and watered their riding animals from that well until they departed.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4152
Narrated Salim: Jabir said, “On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, the people felt thirsty and Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) had a utensil containing water. He performed ablution from it and then the people came towards him. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, ‘What is wrong with you?’ The people said, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)! We have no water to perform ablution with or to drink, except what you have in your utensil.’ So the Prophet (peace be upon him) put his hand in the utensil and the water started spouting out between his fingers like springs. So we drank and performed ablution.” I said to Jabir, “What was your number on that day?” He replied, “Even if we had been one hundred thousand, that water would have been sufficient for us. Anyhow, we were 1500.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4153

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4154
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said to us, “You are the best people on the earth!” We were 1400 then.

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4159
Narrated Kab bin Ujra: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) saw him with lice falling from his head onto his face. Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "Are your lice troubling you?" Kab said, “Yes.” Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) ordered him to shave his head while he was at Al-Hudaibiya. Up to that point there was no indication that all of them would finish their state of Ihram, and they hoped they would enter Mecca. Then the order of Al-Fidya was revealed, so Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) ordered Ka`b to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food, or to slaughter a sheep, or to fast for three days.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 41601, 4161
Narrated Aslam: Once I went with Umar bin Al-Khattab to the market. A young woman followed Umar and said, “O chief of the believers! My husband has died, leaving little children. By Allah, they have not even a sheep’s trotter to cook; they have no farms or animals. I am afraid that they may die because of hunger, and I am the daughter of Khufaf bin Ima Al-Ghafari, and my father witnessed the Pledge of allegiance of Al-Hudaibiya with the Prophet (peace be upon him).” Umar stopped and did not proceed, and said, "I welcome my near relative." Then he went towards a strong camel which was tied in the house, and carried on to it two sacks he had loaded with food grains and put between them money and clothes and gave her its rope to hold and said, "Lead it, and this provision will not finish till Allah gives you a good supply." A man said, "O chief of the believers! You have given her too much." Umar said disapprovingly, “May your mother be bereaved of you! By Allah, I have seen her father and brother besieging a fort for a long time and conquering it, and then we were discussing what shares they would have from that war booty.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4162

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4163
Narrated Tariq bin Abdur-Rahman: When I set out for Hajj, I passed by some people offering a prayer. I asked, "What is this mosque?" They said, "This is the Tree where Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) took the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance." Then I went to Said bin Musaiyab and informed him about it. Said said, "My father said that he was amongst those who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) beneath the Tree. He said, 'When we set out the following year, we forgot the Tree and were unable to recognize it.' Then Said said (perhaps ironically), ‘The companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) could not recognize it; nevertheless, you do recognize it; therefore you have better knowledge.'”

Narrated Anas bin Malik regarding Allah’s Statement: “Verily! We have granted you (O Muhammad) Manifest victory” (48:1). It refers to the Al-Hudaibiya Pledge. The companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him, “Congratulations and happiness for you; but what reward shall we get?” So Allah revealed: “That He may admit the believing men and women to gardens beneath which rivers flow” (48:5).
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4173
Narrated Zahir Al-Aslami, who was one of those who had witnessed the Pledge of allegiance beneath the Tree: While I was making fire beneath the cooking pots containing donkey’s meat, the announcer of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) announced, “Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) forbids you to eat donkey’s meat.”

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4177
Narrated Zaid bin Aslam: My father said, “Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) was proceeding at night on one of his journeys and Umar bin Al-Khattab was going along with him. Umar asked him about something but Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) did not answer him. He asked him again, but he did not answer him. He asked him a third time, but he did not answer him. On that Umar addressed himself saying, 'May your mother be bereaved of you, O Umar, for you have asked Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) thrice, yet he has not answered you.’ `Umar said, ‘Then I made my camel run fast and took it in front of the other Muslims, and I was afraid that something might be revealed in my connection. I had hardly waited for a moment when I heard somebody calling me. I said, “I was afraid that something might have been revealed about me.” Then I came to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and greeted him. He said, “Tonight there has been revealed to me a Sura which is dearer to me than all the world on which the sun rises,” and then he recited: “Verily! We have granted you (O Muhammad) a manifest victory” (48:1).”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4178, 4179
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan bin Al-Hakam (one of them said more than the other): The Prophet (peace be upon him) set out in the company of more than one thousand of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya. When he reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he garlanded his Hadi (sacrificial animal), assumed the state of Ihram for Umra from that place, and sent a spy of his from the tribe of Khuzaa'ah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) proceeded until he reached a village called Ghadir-al-Ashtat. There his spy came and said, "The Quraish have gathered a large force against you, and they have also gathered the Ethiopians. They will fight you and prevent you from entering the Kaba.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “O people! Give me your opinion. Do you recommend that I should attack the families and offspring of those who want to stop us from the Kaba? If they come to us, then Allah will destroy one of the spies of the pagans, otherwise we will leave them in a miserable state." On that Abu Bakr said, "O Allah’s Messenger! You have come with the intention of visiting this House (the Kaba), and you do not want to kill or fight anybody. So proceed to it, and whoever should stop us, we will fight him.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said, “Proceed on, in the Name of Allah!”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4180, 4181
Narrated Urwa bin Az-Zubair: He heard Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama relating one of the events that happened to Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) in the Umra of Al-Hudaibiya. They said: When Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) concluded the truce with Suhail bin Amr on the day of Al-Hudaibiya, one of the conditions which Suhail bin Amr stipulated was that if anyone from them (the Quraysh) came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) after embracing Islam, he should be returned to them, and the Prophet should not interfere between them. Suhail refused to conclude the truce without this condition. The believers disliked this condition, got upset, and argued about it. But when Suhail insisted, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) agreed and concluded the treaty. Accordingly, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) returned Abu Jandal bin Suhail to his father and returned every man who came to him from the Quraysh during that period, even if he was a Muslim. Later, believing women emigrants came to Medina, including Um Kulthum, the daughter of `Uqba bin Abi Mu’ait, who was an adult at that time. Her relatives came asking Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) to return her to them. In this connection, Allah revealed the verses dealing with believing women.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4182
Narrated Aisha: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) used to test all the believing women who migrated to him with the following verse: “O Prophet! When the believing women come to you to give the pledge of allegiance to you” (60:12). `Urwa’s uncle said: We were informed that when Allah ordered His Apostle to return to the pagans what they had given to their wives who had migrated to Medina, we were also informed about the case of Abu Basir, and he mentioned the whole narration.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4183
Narrated Nafi: Abdullah bin Umar set out for Umra during the time of afflictions and said, “If I am stopped from visiting the Kaba, I will do what we did when we were with Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him)." He assumed Ihram for Umra in the year of Al-Hudaibiya.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4184
Narrated Nafi: Ibn Umar assumed Ihram and said, “If something intervenes between me and the Kaba, then I will do what the Prophet (peace be upon him) did when the Quraish disbelievers intervened between him and the Kaba.” Then Ibn `Umar recited: “You have indeed in Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) a good example to follow.” (33:21)
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4185
Narrated Nafi: One of Abdullah bin Umar’s sons said to him, "I wish you would stay this year and not perform Hajj, as I fear you may not be able to reach the Kaba.” Abdullah bin Umar replied, “We went out with the Prophet (peace be upon him) for Umra, and when the Quraysh disbelievers prevented us from reaching the Kaba, the Prophet (peace be upon him) slaughtered his Hadi, shaved his head, and his companions cut their hair short.” Then Abdullah bin Umar said, “I make you witness that I have intended to perform Umra. If I am allowed to reach the Kaba, I will perform Tawaf, and if something prevents me, I will do what Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) did.” After traveling a little, he said, “I consider the ceremonies of both Umra and Hajj as one and the same. I make you witness that I have intended to perform Hajj along with my Umra.” So he performed only one Tawaf and one Sa`i (between Safa and Marwa) and ended his Ihram for both together.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4186
Narrated Nafi: The people used to say that Ibn Umar had embraced Islam before Umar. This is not true. What happened is that Umar sent Abdullah to bring his horse from an Ansari man so as to fight on it. At that time the people were giving the Pledge of Allegiance to Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) near the Tree, and Umar was not aware of that. So Abdullah bin Umar gave the Pledge of Allegiance to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and went to take the horse and brought it to Umar. While Umar was putting on the armor to get ready for fighting, Abdullah informed him that the people were giving the Pledge of Allegiance to Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) beneath the Tree. So Umar set out and Abdullah accompanied him until he gave the Pledge of Allegiance to Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him). It was this event that made people say that Ibn Umar had embraced Islam before `Umar.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4187
Narrated Nafi: Abdullah bin Umar added: “The people were with the Prophet (peace be upon him) on the day of Al-Hudaibiya spreading in the shade of the trees. Suddenly the people surrounded the Prophet (peace be upon him) and started looking at him.” Umar said, "O Abdullah! Go and see why the people are encircling Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and looking at him.” Abdullah bin Umar then saw the people giving the Pledge of Allegiance to the Prophet (peace be upon him). So he also gave the Pledge of Allegiance and returned to `Umar who then went out and gave the Pledge of Allegiance to the Prophet (peace be upon him).
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4188
Narrated Abdullah bin Abi Aufa: We were in the company of the Prophet (peace be upon him) when he performed Umra. He performed Tawaf and we did the same. He offered the prayer and we also offered the prayer with him. Then he performed the Sai between Safa and Marwa and we were guarding him against the people of Mecca so that nobody should harm him.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4189
Narrated Abu Wail: When Sahl bin Hunaif returned from the battle of Siffin, we went to ask him why he had come back. He replied, “(You should not consider me a coward) but blame your opinions. I saw myself on the day of Abu Jandal inclined to fight, and if I had the power of refusing the order of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) then, I would have refused it and fought the infidels bravely. Allah and His Messenger know better what is convenient. Whenever we put our swords on our shoulders for any matter that terrified us, our swords led us to an easy agreeable solution before the present situation of disagreement and dispute between the Muslims. When we mend the breach in one side, it opens in another, and we do not know what to do about it.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4190
Narrated Ka`b bin Ujra: The Prophet (peace be upon him) came to me at the time of Al-Hudaibiya Pledge while lice were falling on my face. He said, “Are the lice of your head troubling you?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Shave your head and fast for three days, or feed six poor persons, or slaughter a sheep as sacrifice.” (The sub-narrator, Aiyub, said: “I do not know with which of these three options he started.”)
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4191
Narrated Kab bin Ujra: We were in the company of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) at Al-Hudaibiya in the state of Ihram and the pagans did not allow us to proceed to the Kaba. I had thick hair and lice started falling on my face. The Prophet (peace be upon him) passed by me and said, “Are the lice of your head troubling you?” I replied, “Yes.” Then the following Divine Verse was revealed: “And if anyone of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp (necessitating shaving), he must pay a ransom (Fidya) of either fasting, or feeding the poor, or offering a sacrifice.” (2:196)
Chapter: 36 The story of (the tribes of) Ukl and Uraina
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4192
Narrated Anas: Some people of the tribe of Ukl and Uraina arrived at Medina to meet the Prophet (peace be upon him) and embraced Islam and said, “O Allah’s Prophet! We are the owners of milch livestock (i.e. bedouins) and not farmers (i.e. countrymen).” They found the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) ordered that they should be provided with some milch camels and a shepherd and ordered them to go out of Medina and to drink the camels’ milk and urine as medicine. So they set out and when they reached Al-Harra, they reverted to heathenism after embracing Islam, and killed the shepherd of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and drove away the camels. When this news reached the Prophet (peace be upon him), he sent some people in pursuit of them. They were caught and brought back to the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave his orders in their concern. Their eyes were branded with pieces of iron and their hands and legs were cut off, and they were left in Harra until they died in that state.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4193
Narrated Abu Raja, the freed slave of Abu Qilaba, who was with Abu Qilaba in Sham: Umar bin Abdul Aziz consulted the people saying, "What do you think of Qasama?" They said, "It is a right judgment which Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) and the Caliphs before you acted upon." Abu Qilaba was behind Umar’s bed. ‘Anbasa bin Said said, "But what about the narration concerning the people of Uraina?” Abu Qilaba said, “Anas bin Malik narrated it to me,” and then narrated the whole story.

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4194
Sahih al-Bukhari 4194
Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa: Once I went from Medina towards Al-Ghaba before the first Adhan of the Fajr Prayer. The she-camels of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to graze at a place called Dhi-Qarad. A slave of Abdur-Rahman bin Auf met me and said, "The she-camels of Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) had been taken away by force." I asked, "Who had taken them?" He replied, "The people of Ghatafan." I made three loud cries to the people of Medina saying, "O Sabahah!" I made the people between the two mountains of Medina hear me. Then I rushed onward and caught up with the robbers while they were watering the camels. I started throwing arrows at them as I was a good archer, saying, "I am the son of Al-Akwa, and today will perish the wicked people.” I kept on saying this until I restored the she-camels of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and also snatched thirty Burda (i.e., garments) from them. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the other people came there, and I said, “O Allah’s Prophet! I have stopped the people of Ghatafan from taking water, and they are thirsty now. So send some people after them.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “O son of Al-Akwa`! You have overpowered them, so forgive them.” Then we all came back, and Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) seated me behind him on his she-camel until we entered Medina.
Chapter: 38 Ghazwa of Khaibar
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4195
Narrated Suwaid bin An-Numan: I went out in the company of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the year of Khaibar, and when we reached As Sahba', the lower part of Khaibar, the Prophet (peace be upon him) offered the Asr prayer and then asked the people to collect the journey food. Nothing was brought but Sawiq, which the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered to be moistened with water, and then he ate it and we also ate it. Then he got up to offer the Maghrib prayer. He washed his mouth, and we too washed our mouths, and then he offered the prayer without repeating his ablution.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4196
Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa: We went out to Khaibar in the company of the Prophet (peace be upon him). While proceeding at night, a man from the group said to 'Amir, "O 'Amir! Won't you let us hear your poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, so he got down and started reciting for the people poetry that kept pace with the camels' footsteps, asking Allah for guidance, forgiveness, and steadfastness in battle. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "Who is that camel driver reciting poetry?" The people said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Akwa.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “May Allah bestow His mercy on him.” Then we reached and besieged Khaibar until we suffered severe hunger. Allah helped the Muslims conquer it. In the evening, the Muslims made huge fires for cooking meat, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Throw away the meat and break the pots,” as it was donkey meat. During the clash, ‘Amir’s sword was short, and while aiming at a Jew, the sword rebounded and injured his own knee, which caused his death. When they returned, the Prophet (peace be upon him) reassured Salama bin Al-Akwa` that ‘Amir had received a double reward for his perseverance and jihad.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4197
Narrated Anas: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) reached Khaibar at night, and it was his habit that whenever he reached an enemy at night, he would not attack until morning. When it was morning, the Jews came out with their spades and baskets, and when they saw him, they said, “Muhammad! By Allah! Muhammad and his army!” The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a hostile nation, evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4198

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4199

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4203
Narrated Abu Huraira: During the battle of Khaibar, a man claiming to be a Muslim fought fiercely but committed suicide after sustaining many wounds.

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari: During the march toward Khaibar, when the Muslims passed a high place overlooking a valley, they raised their voices saying, “Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) told them to lower their voices, saying they were not calling a deaf or absent one but a Hearer who is near. When Abu Musa said, “There is neither might nor power except with Allah,” the Prophet told him that this phrase is one of the treasures of Paradise.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4206

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4210
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: The Prophet (peace be upon him) told the Muslims that the flag would be given to someone through whom Allah would grant victory.

The Prophet emphasized that guiding even a single person to the right path is better than owning red camels.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4211
Narrated Anas bin Malik: After the conquest of Khaibar, the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai (whose husband had been killed while she was a bride) was mentioned to the Prophet (ﷺ).

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Banu Hashim and Banu Al-Muttalib only are one and the same." So the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not give anything to Banu Abd Shams and Banu Nawfal.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4230
Narrated Abu Musa: The news of the Prophet’s migration from Mecca to Medina reached us while we were in Yemen. So we set out as emigrants towards him. There were three of us: I, the youngest, and my two brothers, Abu Burda and Abu Ruhm. Our total number was either 52 or 53 men from my people. We boarded a boat which took us to Negus in Ethiopia. There we met Jafar bin Abi Talib and stayed with him. Later, we all came to Medina and met the Prophet (peace be upon him) at the time of the conquest of Khaibar. Some people from Medina said to us, "We migrated before you." Asma' bint Umais, who had migrated to Ethiopia with us, came to visit Hafsa, the Prophet’s wife. When Umar saw her, he said, "Who is this?" She replied, "Asma' bint Umais.” Umar asked, "Is she the Ethiopian, the sea-faring lady?" She said, "Yes." Umar said, “We migrated before you, so we have more right over Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) than you.” Asma’ became angry and said, “No, by Allah! While you were with Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him), feeding the hungry and advising the ignorant, we were in the far-off land of Ethiopia for the sake of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him). By Allah, I will neither eat nor drink until I inform Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) of all that you have said. We were harmed and frightened, and I will report this to the Prophet (peace be upon him) without lying or adding anything.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4231
Narrated Abu Burda: When the Prophet (peace be upon him) came, Asma’ said, “O Allah’s Prophet, Umar has said so-and-so." He asked her, "What did you say to him?" Asma' replied, "I told him so-and-so." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "He (Umar) has not more right over me than you people; he and his companions have only one migration, while you, the people of the boat, have two migrations.” Asma’ later said, “I saw Abu Musa and the other people of the boat coming to me in successive groups, asking me to repeat this narration, and nothing in the world was more joyful or greater for them than what the Prophet (peace be upon him) had said about them.” Abu Burda added that Asma’ saw Abu Musa asking her to repeat this narration again and again.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4232
Narrated Abu Burda: Abu Musa said, “The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘I recognize the voices of the group of Al-Ashariyun when they recite the Qur’an at night in their homes.

Among them is Hakim, who, when he meets cavalry or the enemy, tells them, “My companions order you to wait for them.”‘”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4233

Narrated Abu Huraira: When we conquered Khaibar, we gained neither gold nor silver as booty, but we acquired cows, camels, goods, and gardens.

At that time, the Prophet (peace be upon him) had a slave named Mid`am, who had been presented to him by someone from Banu Ad-Dibbab. While the slave was dismounting from the Prophet’s saddle, an arrow struck him. People said, “Congratulations to him for martyrdom.” The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, “No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the sheet he took illegally from the Khaibar booty before distribution has become a flame of Fire burning him.” Later, a man brought one or two leather straps of shoes to the Prophet, saying they were things he took illegally. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “This is a strap, or these are two straps of Fire.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4235
Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab: By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, were I not afraid that other Muslims might be left in poverty, I would divide any village I conquer among the fighters, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) divided the land of Khaibar.

Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4238
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) sent Aban from Medina to Najd as the commander of a Sariya. After the conquest of Khaibar, Aban and his companions came to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the reins of their horses were made of the fire of date palm trees. I said to the Prophet, “O Allah’s Messenger, do not give them a share of the booty.” Aban responded to me, “Strange! You suggest this though you are what you are, O guinea pig coming down from the top of Ad-Dal!” The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said, “O Aban, sit down,” and he did not give them any share.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4239
Narrated Said: Aban bin Said came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and greeted him. Abu Huraira said, “O Allah’s Messenger! This is the murderer of Ibn Qauqal.” On hearing this, Aban said to Abu Huraira, “How strange your saying is! You, a guinea pig descending from Qadum Dan, blame me for killing a person whom Allah favored with martyrdom by my hand, and whom He forbade to degrade me with his hand.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 4240, 4241
Narrated Aisha: Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him), sent someone to Abu Bakr (when he was caliph) asking for her inheritance from what the Prophet (peace be upon him) had left of property given to him by Allah (from Fai and Khaibar). Abu Bakr replied, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'We do not inherit; whatever we leave is Sadaqa, but the family of Muhammad can benefit from it.' By Allah, I will not change this; I will manage it as the Prophet did." Abu Bakr therefore refused to give Fatima any of it. Fatima became angry with Abu Bakr and did not speak to him until her death, which occurred six months after the Prophet’s death. Ali buried her at night without informing Abu Bakr and performed the funeral prayer himself. After her death, Ali noticed a change in the attitude of the people toward him. He sought reconciliation with Abu Bakr and gave him the oath of allegiance. Initially, Ali had refused to pledge during those months due to the dispute. Abu Bakr insisted on coming alone, despite Umar’s objection, and entered to meet Ali. Ali acknowledged Abu Bakr’s superiority and explained their feelings regarding the succession and consultation. Abu Bakr was moved to tears and assured that he would continue to manage the Prophet’s property properly, following his guidance. Ali then gave his oath of allegiance, and the Muslims were pleased, returning to a state of unity.
