It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Do not revile my Companions, do not revile my Companions. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, if one of you were to spend the equivalent of Uhud (mountain) in gold (in charity), it would not amount to a Mudd of one of them, or even half of that."'

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ ، قَالَ يَحْيَى: أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ الآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا ، أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لاَ تَسُبُّوا أَصْحَابِي ، لاَ تَسُبُّوا أَصْحَابِي ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْفَقَ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ ذَهَبًا ، مَا أَدْرَكَ مُدَّ أَحَدِهِمْ ، وَلاَ نَصِيفَهُ.

It was narrated from Usair bin Jabir that the people of Al-Kufah came to 'Umar, and among them was a man who mocked Uwais. 'Umar said: "Is there anyone here from among the Qaranis?" That man came and 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'A man called Uwais will come to you from Yemen, and he will not leave anyone behind in Yemen except his mother. He had leprosy but he prayed to Allah and He took it away, except for a spot the size of a Dinar or Dirham. Whoever among you meets him, let him pray for forgiveness for you.'"

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أُسَيْرِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكُوفَةِ وَفَدُوا إِلَى عُمَرَ ، وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يَسْخَرُ بِأُوَيْسٍ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: هَلْ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَرَنِيِّينَ ؟ فَجَاءَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَجُلاً يَأْتِيكُمْ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُوَيْسٌ ، لاَ يَدَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ غَيْرَ أُمٍّ لَهُ ، قَدْ كَانَ بِهِ بَيَاضٌ ، فَدَعَا اللَّهَ فَأَذْهَبَهُ عَنْهُ ، إِلاَّ مَوْضِعَ الدِّينَارِ أَوِ الدِّرْهَمِ ، فَمَنْ لَقِيَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ.

It was narrated that Usair bin Jabir said: "Whenever reinforcements came from Yemen, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab would ask them: 'Is Uwais bin ‘Amir among you?' When he found Uwais he said: 'Are you Uwais bin 'Amir?' He said: 'Yes.'He said: 'Are you from Murad then from Qaran?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Did you have leprosy, then you recovered from it except for a spot the size of a Dirham?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Do you have a mother?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "There will come to you Uwais bin 'Amir along with the reinforcements from Yemen, from Murad then from Qaran. He had leprosy but he recovered from it, except for a spot the size of a Dirham. He has a mother and he honors her. If he were to swear in the Name of Allah that something should happen, Allah would cause it to happen. If you can ask him to pray for forgiveness for you then do so.'' Pray for forgiveness for me.' And he prayed for forgiveness for him. "Umar said to him: 'Where are you headed?' He said: 'Al-Kufah.' He said: 'Shall I write to the governor for you?' He said: 'Being among the common folk is dearer to me.' "The following year, a man from among their nobles performed Hajj, and he met 'Umar, who asked him about Uwais. He said: 'I left him in a shabby house with meager provisions.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "There will come to you Uwais bin 'Amir along with the reinforcements from Yemen, from Murad, then from Qaran. He had leprosy but he recovered from it, except for a spot the size of a Dirham. He has a mother and he honors her. If he were to swear in the Name of Allah that something should happen, Allah would cause it to happen. If you can ask him to pray for forgiveness for you, then do so."' So he went to Uwais and said: 'Pray for forgiveness for me.' He said: 'You have just come from a sacred journey, so pray for forgiveness for me.' He said: 'Pray for forgiveness for me.' He said: 'You have just come from a sacred journey, so pray for forgiveness for me.' He said: 'Did you meet 'Umar?' He said: 'Yes.' So he prayed for forgiveness for him, and the people came to know of his piety, so he left.'' Usair (a narrator) said: "His garment Was a Burdah, and every time anyone saw him he would say: 'From where did Uwais get this Burdah?"'

Abu Dharr said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'You will conquer a land in which the currency is the Qirat. Treat its people kindly, for they have protection (Dhimmah) and kinship. But if you see two men fighting over a space the size of a brick, then leave.'" He (the narrator) said: "He passed by Rabi'ah and 'Abdur-Rahman, the two sons of Shurahbil bin Hasanah, and they were fighting over a space the size of a brick, so he left.''

Abu Barzah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) sent a man to one of the tribes of the Arabs, and they reviled him and beat him. He came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and told him. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'If you had gone to the people of Oman, they would not have reviled you or beaten you."'

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَازِعِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الرَّاسِبِيِّ ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ ، يَقُولُ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، رَجُلاً إِلَى حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ ، فَسَبُّوهُ وَضَرَبُوهُ ، فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ عُمَانَ أَتَيْتَ ، مَا سَبُّوكَ وَلاَ ضَرَبُوكَ.

It was narrated from Abu Nawfal: "I saw 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (hanging) on the road to Al-Madinah, and the Quraish and the people were passing by him. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar came by, and he stopped and said: 'Peace be upon you, Abu Khubaib; peace be upon you, Abu Khubaib; peace be upon you, Abu Khubaib. By Allah, I told you not to do this; by Allah, I told you not to do this; by Allah, I told you not to do this. By Allah, as far as I know, you were devoted to fasting and prayer at night, and you upheld the ties of kinship. By Allah, a nation of which you are the worst is a good nation.' "Then 'Abdullah bin 'Umar went away, and news of the position of 'Abdullah and what he had said reached Al-Hajjaj. He sent for him, and the body was taken down and thrown into the graveyard of the Jews. Then he sent for his mother Asma' bint Abi Bakr, but she refused to come to him. The messenger said to her again: 'Either you will come or I shall send to you one who will drag you by your hair.' But she refused and said: 'By Allah, I will not come until you send to me one who will drag me by my hair.' He (Al-Hajjaj) said: 'Bring me my shoes.' He put on his shoes and set out, swollen with pride, until he entered upon her. He said: 'What do you think about what I did to the enemy of Allah?' She said: 'I think that you ruined his life in this world, but he has ruined your life in the Hereafter. I heard that you said to him: O son of Dhat An-Nitaqain (the woman with two girdles). By Allah, the woman with two girdles, one of them, she used to hang the food of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and the food of Abu Bakr out of the reach of wild animals, and the other was the girdle that no woman can do without. As for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ' he told us: "Among Thaqif there will be a liar, and a great slaughterer.'' As for the liar, we have seen him, and as for the great slaughterer, I do not think that it is anyone but you.' He (the narrator) said: 'He (Al-Hajjaj) got up and left her, and he did not reply her.'"

حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْعَمِّيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَوْفَلٍ ، رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ عَلَى عَقَبَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَتْ قُرَيْشٌ تَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ ، وَالنَّاسُ حَتَّى مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ : السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ ، أَبَا خُبَيْبٍ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا خُبَيْبٍ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا خُبَيْبٍ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَنْهَاكَ عَنْ هَذَا ، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَنْهَاكَ عَنْ هَذَا ، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَنْهَاكَ عَنْ هَذَا ، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتَ ، مَا عَلِمْتُ ، صَوَّامًا ، قَوَّامًا ، وَصُولاً لِلرَّحِمِ ، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لأُمَّةٌ أَنْتَ أَشَرُّهَا لأُمَّةٌ خَيْرٌ ، ثُمَّ نَفَذَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، فَبَلَغَ الْحَجَّاجَ مَوْقِفُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَقَوْلُهُ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ ، فَأُنْزِلَ عَنْ جِذْعِهِ ، فَأُلْقِيَ فِي قُبُورِ الْيَهُودِ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُمِّهِ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُ ، فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهَا الرَّسُولَ : لَتَأْتِيَنِّي ، أَوْ لأَبْعَثَنَّ إِلَيْكِ مَنْ يَسْحَبُكِ بِقُرُونِكِ ، قَالَ : فَأَبَتْ وَقَالَتْ : وَاللَّهِ لاَ آتِيكَ حَتَّى تَبْعَثَ إِلَيَّ مَنْ يَسْحَبُنِي بِقُرُونِي ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : أَرُونِي سِبْتَيَّ فَأَخَذَ نَعْلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ يَتَوَذَّفُ ، حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا ، فَقَالَ : كَيْفَ رَأَيْتِنِي صَنَعْتُ بِعَدُوِّ اللهِ ؟ قَالَتْ : رَأَيْتُكَ أَفْسَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ دُنْيَاهُ ، وَأَفْسَدَ عَلَيْكَ آخِرَتَكَ ، بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ لَهُ : يَا ابْنَ ذَاتِ النِّطَاقَيْنِ أَنَا ، وَاللَّهِ ذَاتُ النِّطَاقَيْنِ ، أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَكُنْتُ أَرْفَعُ بِهِ طَعَامَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَطَعَامَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ ، وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَنِطَاقُ الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي لاَ تَسْتَغْنِي عَنْهُ ، أَمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَنَا ، أَنَّ فِي ثَقِيفٍ كَذَّابًا وَمُبِيرًا فَأَمَّا الْكَذَّابُ فَرَأَيْنَاهُ ، وَأَمَّا الْمُبِيرُ فَلاَ إِخَالُكَ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ عَنْهَا وَلَمْ يُرَاجِعْهَا.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "We were sitting with the Prophet (s.a.w) and Surat Al-Jumu'ah was revealed to him. When he recited the words: 'And [He has sent him also to] others among them (Muslims) who have not yet joined them (but they will come), a man said: 'Who are they, 0 Messenger of Allah?' The Prophet (s.a.w) did not answer him until he had asked two or three times, and among us was Salman Al-Farisi. Then the Prophet (s.a.w) put his hand on Salman and said: 'If faith were at the Pleiades, some men from among these people would get it."'

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْغَيْثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِذْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ ، فَلَمَّا قَرَأَ : {وَآخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ} قَالَ رَجُلٌ : مَنْ هَؤُلاَءِ ؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَلَمْ يُرَاجِعْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى سَأَلَهُ مَرَّةً ، أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ، قَالَ : وَفِينَا سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ قَالَ : فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ عَلَى سَلْمَانَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَوْ كَانَ الإِيمَانُ عِنْدَ الثُّرَيَّا ، لَنَالَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ.
