Sahih al-Bukhari — Military Expeditions

Narrated Abu Burda:Abu Musa said, "I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was encamping at Al-Ji'rana (a place) between Mecca and Medina and Bilal was with him. A bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "Won't you fulfill what you have promised me?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Rejoice (at what I will do for you).' The bedouin said, "(You have said to me) rejoice too often." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) turned to me (i.e. Abu Musa) and Bilal in an angry mood and said, 'The bedouin has refused the good tidings, so you both accept them.' Bilal and I said, 'We accept them.' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) asked for a drinking bowl containing water and washed his hands and face in it, and then took a mouthful of water and threw it therein saying (to us), "Drink (some of) it and pour (some) over your faces and chests and be happy at the good tidings." So they both took the drinking bowl and did as instructed. Um Salama called from behind a screen, "Keep something (of the water for your mother." So they left some of it for her)

حدثنا محمد بن العلاء، حدثنا ابو اسامة، عن بريد بن عبد الله، عن ابي بردة، عن ابي موسى رضى الله عنه قال كنت عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو نازل بالجعرانة بين مكة والمدينة ومعه بلال، فاتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم اعرابي فقال الا تنجز لي ما وعدتني. فقال له " ابشر ". فقال قد اكثرت على من ابشر. فاقبل على ابي موسى وبلال كهيية الغضبان فقال " رد البشرى فاقبلا انتما ". قالا قبلنا. ثم دعا بقدح فيه ماء فغسل يديه ووجهه فيه، ومج فيه، ثم قال " اشربا منه، وافرغا على وجوهكما ونحوركما، وابشرا ". فاخذا القدح ففعلا، فنادت ام سلمة من وراء الستر ان افضلا لامكما. فافضلا لها منه طايفة

Narrated Safwan bin Ya`la bin Umaiya:Ya`la used to say, "I wish I could see Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at the time when he is being inspired divinely." Ya`la added "While the Prophet (ﷺ) was at Al-Ji'rana, shaded with a cloth sheet (in the form of a tent) and there were staying with him, some of his companions under it, suddenly there came to him a bedouin wearing a cloak and perfumed extravagantly. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! What is your opinion regarding a man who assumes the state of Ihram for `Umra wearing a cloak after applying perfume to his body?" `Umar signalled with his hand to Ya`la to come (near). Ya`la came and put his head (underneath that cloth sheet) and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) red-faced and when that state (of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) was over, he said, "Where is he who as already asked me about the `Umra?" The man was looked for and brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "As for the perfume you have applied to your body, wash it off your body) thrice, and take off your cloak, and then do in your `Umra the rites you do in your Hajj

حدثنا يعقوب بن ابراهيم، حدثنا اسماعيل، حدثنا ابن جريج، قال اخبرني عطاء، ان صفوان بن يعلى بن امية، اخبر ان يعلى كان يقول ليتني ارى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين ينزل عليه. قال فبينا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بالجعرانة وعليه ثوب قد اظل به، معه فيه ناس من اصحابه، اذ جاءه اعرابي عليه جبة متضمخ بطيب فقال يا رسول الله كيف ترى في رجل احرم بعمرة في جبة بعد ما تضمخ بالطيب فاشار عمر الى يعلى بيده ان تعال. فجاء يعلى فادخل راسه، فاذا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم محمر الوجه، يغط كذلك ساعة، ثم سري عنه فقال " اين الذي يسالني عن العمرة انفا ". فالتمس الرجل فاتي به فقال " اما الطيب الذي بك فاغسله ثلاث مرات، واما الجبة فانزعها، ثم اصنع في عمرتك كما تصنع في حجك

Narrated `Abdullah bin Zaid bin `Asim:When Allah gave to His Apostle the war booty on the day of Hunain, he distributed that booty amongst those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Islam), but did not give anything to the Ansar. So they seemed to have felt angry and sad as they did not get the same as other people had got. The Prophet (ﷺ) then delivered a sermon before them, saying, "O, the assembly of Ansar! Didn't I find you astray, and then Allah guided you on the Right Path through me? You were divided into groups, and Allah brought you together through me; you were poor and Allah made you rich through me." Whatever the Prophet (ﷺ) said, they (i.e. the Ansar) said, "Allah and His Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What stops you from answering the Messenger of Allah?" But whatever he said to them, they replied, "Allah and His Apostle have more favours to do." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "If you wish you could say: 'You came to us in such-and-such state (at Medina).' Wouldn't you be willing to see the people go away with sheep and camels while you go with the Prophet (ﷺ) to your homes? But for the migration, I would have been one of the Ansar, and if the people took their way through a valley or mountain pass, I would select the valley or mountain pass of the Ansar. The Ansar are Shiar (i.e. those clothes which are in direct contact with the body and worn inside the other garments), and the people are Dithar (i.e. those clothes which are not in direct contact with the body and are worn over other garments). No doubt, you will see other people favoured over you, so you should be patient till you meet me at the Tank (of Kauthar)

حدثنا موسى بن اسماعيل، حدثنا وهيب، حدثنا عمرو بن يحيى، عن عباد بن تميم، عن عبد الله بن زيد بن عاصم، قال لما افاء الله على رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم حنين قسم في الناس في المولفة قلوبهم، ولم يعط الانصار شييا، فكانهم وجدوا اذ لم يصبهم ما اصاب الناس فخطبهم فقال " يا معشر الانصار الم اجدكم ضلالا فهداكم الله بي، وكنتم متفرقين فالفكم الله بي وعالة، فاغناكم الله بي ". كلما قال شييا قالوا الله ورسوله امن. قال " ما يمنعكم ان تجيبوا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ". قال كلما قال شييا قالوا الله ورسوله امن. قال " لو شيتم قلتم جيتنا كذا وكذا. اترضون ان يذهب الناس بالشاة والبعير، وتذهبون بالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الى رحالكم، لولا الهجرة لكنت امرا من الانصار، ولو سلك الناس واديا وشعبا لسلكت وادي الانصار وشعبها، الانصار شعار والناس دثار، انكم ستلقون بعدي اثرة فاصبروا حتى تلقوني على الحوض

Narrated Anas Bin Malik:When Allah gave Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) what he gave of the properties of the Hawazin tribe as a war booty, the Prophet (ﷺ) started giving some men 100 camels each. The Ansar (then) said, "May Allah forgive Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he gives to Quraish and leaves us although our swords are still dribbling with the blood of Quraish." Allah's Apostle was informed of their statement, so he sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent, and did not call anybody else along with them. When they all gathered, the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and said, "What is this talk being informed to me about you?" The learned men amongst the Ansar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Our chiefs did not say anything, but some people amongst us who are younger in age said, 'May Allah forgive Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as he gives (of the booty) to Quraish and leaves us though our swords are still dribbling with their blood." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I give to these men who have newly deserted heathenism (and embraced Islam) so as to attract their hearts. Won't you be happy that the people take the wealth while you take the Prophet (ﷺ) with you to your homes? By Allah, what you are taking is better than whatever they are taking." They (i.e. the Ansar) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are satisfied." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said to them, "You will find others favored over you greatly, so be patient till you meet Allah and His Apostle and I will be at the Tank then." Anas added: But they did not remain patient

حدثني عبد الله بن محمد، حدثنا هشام، اخبرنا معمر، عن الزهري، قال اخبرني انس بن مالك رضى الله عنه قال قال ناس من الانصار حين افاء الله على رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما افاء من اموال هوازن، فطفق النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يعطي رجالا الماية من الابل فقالوا يغفر الله لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعطي قريشا ويتركنا، وسيوفنا تقطر من دمايهم. قال انس فحدث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بمقالتهم، فارسل الى الانصار فجمعهم في قبة من ادم ولم يدع معهم غيرهم، فلما اجتمعوا قام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " ما حديث بلغني عنكم ". فقال فقهاء الانصار اما روساونا يا رسول الله فلم يقولوا شييا، واما ناس منا حديثة اسنانهم فقالوا يغفر الله لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعطي قريشا ويتركنا، وسيوفنا تقطر من دمايهم. فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " فاني اعطي رجالا حديثي عهد بكفر، اتالفهم، اما ترضون ان يذهب الناس بالاموال وتذهبون بالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الى رحالكم، فوالله لما تنقلبون به خير مما ينقلبون به ". قالوا يا رسول الله قد رضينا. فقال لهم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " ستجدون اثرة شديدة، فاصبروا حتى تلقوا الله ورسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاني على الحوض ". قال انس فلم يصبروا

Narrated Anas:When it was the day of the Conquest (of Mecca) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) distributed the war booty amongst the people of Quraish which caused the Ansar to become angry. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Won't you be pleased that the people take the worldly things and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with you? "They said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If the people took their way through a valley or mountain pass, I would take my way through the Ansar's valley or mountain pass

حدثنا سليمان بن حرب، حدثنا شعبة، عن ابي التياح، عن انس، قال لما كان يوم فتح مكة قسم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم غنايم بين قريش. فغضبت الانصار قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " اما ترضون ان يذهب الناس بالدنيا، وتذهبون برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ". قالوا بلى. قال " لو سلك الناس واديا او شعبا لسلكت وادي الانصار او شعبهم

Narrated Anas:When it was the day of (the battle of) Hunain, the Prophet (ﷺ) confronted the tribe of Hawazin while there were ten-thousand (men) besides the Tulaqa' (i.e. those who had embraced Islam on the day of the Conquest of Mecca) with the Prophet. When they (i.e. Muslims) fled, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O the group of Ansar!" They replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Sadaik! We are under your command." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) got down (from his mule) and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." Then the pagans were defeated. The Prophet (ﷺ) distributed the war booty amongst the Tulaqa and Muhajirin (i.e. Emigrants) and did not give anything to the Ansar. So the Ansar spoke (i.e. were dissatisfied) and he called them and made them enter a leather tent and said, Won't you be pleased that the people take the sheep and camels, and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with you?" The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "If the people took their way through a valley and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, then I would choose a mountain pass of the Ansar

حدثنا علي بن عبد الله، حدثنا ازهر، عن ابن عون، انبانا هشام بن زيد بن انس، عن انس رضى الله عنه قال لما كان يوم حنين التقى هوازن ومع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عشرة الاف والطلقاء فادبروا قال " يا معشر الانصار ". قالوا لبيك يا رسول الله وسعديك، لبيك نحن بين يديك، فنزل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " انا عبد الله ورسوله ". فانهزم المشركون، فاعطى الطلقاء والمهاجرين ولم يعط الانصار شييا فقالوا، فدعاهم فادخلهم في قبة فقال " اما ترضون ان يذهب الناس بالشاة والبعير، وتذهبون برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم "، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم "لو سلك الناس واديا وسلكت الانصار شعبا لاخترت شعب الانصار

Narrated Anas:The Prophet (ﷺ) gathered some people of Ansar and said, "The People of Quraish are still close to their Pre-Islamic period of ignorance and have suffered a lot, and I want to help them and attract their hearts (by giving them the war booty). Won't you be pleased that the people take the worldly things) and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with you to your homes?" They said, "Yes, (i.e. we are pleased with this distribution)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "'If the people took their way through a valley and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, then I would take the Ansar's valley or the Ansar's mountain pass

حدثني محمد بن بشار، حدثنا غندر، حدثنا شعبة، قال سمعت قتادة، عن انس بن مالك رضى الله عنه قال جمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ناسا من الانصار، فقال " ان قريشا حديث عهد بجاهلية ومصيبة، واني اردت ان اجبرهم واتالفهم اما ترضون ان يرجع الناس بالدنيا، وترجعون برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الى بيوتكم ". قالوا بلى. قال " لو سلك الناس واديا وسلكت الانصار شعبا لسلكت وادي الانصار او شعب الانصار

Narrated `Abdullah:When the Prophet (ﷺ) distributed the war booty of Hunain, a man from the Ansar said, "He (i.e. the Prophet), did not intend to please Allah in this distribution." So I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him of that (statement) whereupon the color of his face changed and he said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses, for he was troubled with more than this, but he remained patient

حدثنا قبيصة، حدثنا سفيان، عن الاعمش، عن ابي وايل، عن عبد الله، قال لما قسم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قسمة حنين قال رجل من الانصار ما اراد بها وجه الله. فاتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فاخبرته، فتغير وجهه ثم قال " رحمة الله على موسى، لقد اوذي باكثر من هذا فصبر

Narrated `Abdullah:When it was the day of Hunain, the Prophet (ﷺ) favored some people over some others (in the distribution of the booty). He gave Al-Aqra' one-hundred camels and gave Uyaina the same, and also gave other people (of Quraish). A man said, "Allah's Pleasure was not the aim, in this distribution." I said, "I will inform the Prophet (about your statement)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "May Allah bestow Mercy on Moses, for he was troubled more than this but he remained patient

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، حدثنا جرير، عن منصور، عن ابي وايل، عن عبد الله رضى الله عنه قال لما كان يوم حنين اثر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ناسا، اعطى الاقرع ماية من الابل، واعطى عيينة مثل ذلك، واعطى ناسا، فقال رجل ما اريد بهذه القسمة وجه الله. فقلت لاخبرن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " رحم الله موسى. قد اوذي باكثر من هذا فصبر

Narrated Anas Bin Malik:When it was the day (of the battle) of Hunain, the tribes of Hawazin and Ghatafan and others, along with their animals and offspring (and wives) came to fight against the Prophet (ﷺ) The Prophet (ﷺ) had with him, ten thousand men and some of the Tulaqa. The companions fled, leaving the Prophet (ﷺ) alone. The Prophet then made two calls which were clearly distinguished from each other. He turned right and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Rejoice, for we are with you!" Then he turned left and said, "O the group of Ansar!" They said, "Labbaik! O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Rejoice, for we are with you!" The Prophet (ﷺ) at that time, was riding on a white mule; then he dismounted and said, "I am Allah's Slave and His Apostle." The infidels then were defeated, and on that day the Prophet (ﷺ) gained a large amount of booty which he distributed amongst the Muhajirin and the Tulaqa and did not give anything to the Ansar. The Ansar said, "When there is a difficulty, we are called, but the booty is given to other than us." The news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) and he gathered them in a leather tent and said, "What is this news reaching me from you, O the group of Ansar?" They kept silent, He added," O the group of Ansar! Won't you be happy that the people take the worldly things and you take Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to your homes reserving him for yourself?" They said, "Yes." Then the Prophet said, "If the people took their way through a valley, and the Ansar took their way through a mountain pass, surely, I would take the Ansar's mountain pass." Hisham said, "O Abu Hamza (i.e. Anas)! Did you witness that? " He replied, "And how could I be absent from him?

حدثنا محمد بن بشار، حدثنا معاذ بن معاذ، حدثنا ابن عون، عن هشام بن زيد بن انس بن مالك، عن انس بن مالك رضى الله عنه قال لما كان يوم حنين اقبلت هوازن وغطفان وغيرهم بنعمهم وذراريهم، ومع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عشرة الاف ومن الطلقاء، فادبروا عنه حتى بقي وحده، فنادى يوميذ نداءين لم يخلط بينهما، التفت عن يمينه، فقال " يا معشر الانصار ". قالوا لبيك يا رسول الله، ابشر نحن معك. ثم التفت عن يساره، فقال " يا معشر الانصار ". قالوا لبيك يا رسول الله، ابشر نحن معك. وهو على بغلة بيضاء، فنزل فقال " انا عبد الله ورسوله "، فانهزم المشركون، فاصاب يوميذ غنايم كثيرة، فقسم في المهاجرين والطلقاء ولم يعط الانصار شييا، فقالت الانصار اذا كانت شديدة فنحن ندعى، ويعطى الغنيمة غيرنا. فبلغه ذلك، فجمعهم في قبة، فقال " يا معشر الانصار ما حديث بلغني عنكم ". فسكتوا فقال " يا معشر الانصار الا ترضون ان يذهب الناس بالدنيا، وتذهبون برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم تحوزونه الى بيوتكم ". قالوا بلى. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " لو سلك الناس واديا، وسلكت الانصار شعبا لاخذت شعب الانصار ". فقال هشام يا ابا حمزة، وانت شاهد ذاك قال واين اغيب عنه

Narrated Salim's father:The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to the tribe of Jadhima and Khalid invited them to Islam but they could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna (i.e. we have embraced Islam)," but they started saying "Saba'na! Saba'na (i.e. we have come out of one religion to another)." Khalid kept on killing (some of) them and taking (some of) them as captives and gave every one of us his Captive. When there came the day then Khalid ordered that each man (i.e. Muslim soldier) should kill his captive, I said, "By Allah, I will not kill my captive, and none of my companions will kill his captive." When we reached the Prophet, we mentioned to him the whole story. On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) raised both his hands and said twice, "O Allah! I am free from what Khalid has done

Narrated `Ali:The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a Sariya under the command of a man from the Ansar and ordered the soldiers to obey him. He (i.e. the commander) became angry and said "Didn't the Prophet (ﷺ) order you to obey me!" They replied, "Yes." He said, "Collect fire-wood for me." So they collected it. He said, "Make a fire." When they made it, he said, "Enter it (i.e. the fire)." So they intended to do that and started holding each other and saying, "We run towards (i.e. take refuge with) the Prophet (ﷺ) from the fire." They kept on saying that till the fire was extinguished and the anger of the commander abated. When that news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, "If they had entered it (i.e. the fire), they would not have come out of it till the Day of Resurrection. Obedience (to somebody) is required when he enjoins what is good

Narrated Abu Burda:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu Musa and Mu`adh bin Jabal to Yemen. He sent each of them to administer a province as Yemen consisted of two provinces. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to them), "Facilitate things for the people and do not make things difficult for them (Be kind and lenient (both of you) with the people, and do not be hard on them) and give the people good tidings and do not repulse them. So each of them went to carry on his job. So when any one of them toured his province and happened to come near (the border of the province of) his companion, he would visit him and greet him. Once Mu`adh toured that part of his state which was near (the border of the province of) his companion Abu Musa. Mu`adh came riding his mule till he reached Abu Musa and saw him sitting, and the people had gathered around him. Behold! There was a man tied with his hands behind his neck. Mu`adh said to Abu Musa, "O `Abdullah bin Qais! What is this?" Abu Musa replied. "This man has reverted to Heathenism after embracing Islam." Mu`adh said, "I will not dismount till he is killed."

Abu Musa replied, "I recite it while I am standing, sitting or riding my riding animals, at intervals and piecemeal." Mu`adh said, "But I sleep and then get up. I sleep and hope for Allah's Reward for my sleep as I seek His Reward for my night prayer." Then he (i.e. Mu`adh) pitched a tent and they started visiting each other. Once Mu`adh paid a visit to Abu Musa and saw a chained man. Mu`adh asked, "What is this?" Abu Musa said, "(He was) a Jew who embraced Islam and has now turned apostate."

In our land there is an alcoholic drink (prepared) from barley called Al-Mizr, and another (prepared) from honey, called Al-Bit"' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All intoxicants are prohibited." Then both of them proceeded and Mu`adh asked Abu Musa, "How do you recite the Qur'an?" Abu Musa replied, "I recite it while I am standing, sitting or riding my riding animals, at intervals and piecemeal." Mu`adh said, "But I sleep and then get up. I sleep and hope for Allah's Reward for my sleep as I seek His Reward for my night prayer." Then he (i.e. Mu`adh) pitched a tent and they started visiting each other. Once Mu`adh paid a visit to Abu Musa and saw a chained man. Mu`adh asked, "What is this?" Abu Musa said, "(He was) a Jew who embraced Islam and has now turned apostate." Mu`adh said, "I will surely chop off his neck

حدثنا مسلم، حدثنا شعبة، حدثنا سعيد بن ابي بردة، عن ابيه، قال بعث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم جده ابا موسى، ومعاذا الى اليمن فقال " يسرا ولا تعسرا، وبشرا ولا تنفرا، وتطاوعا ". فقال ابو موسى يا نبي الله، ان ارضنا بها شراب من الشعير المزر، وشراب من العسل البتع. فقال " كل مسكر حرام ". فانطلقا فقال معاذ لابي موسى كيف تقرا القران قال قايما وقاعدا وعلى راحلته واتفوقه تفوقا. قال اما انا فانام واقوم، فاحتسب نومتي كما احتسب قومتي، وضرب فسطاطا، فجعلا يتزاوران، فزار معاذ ابا موسى، فاذا رجل موثق، فقال ما هذا فقال ابو موسى يهودي اسلم ثم ارتد. فقال معاذ لاضربن عنقه. تابعه العقدي ووهب عن شعبة. وقال وكيع والنضر وابو داود عن شعبة، عن سعيد، عن ابيه، عن جده، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم. رواه جرير بن عبد الحميد عن الشيباني عن ابي بردة

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me (as a governor) to the land of my people, and I came while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was encamping at a place called Al-Abtah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Have you made the intention to perform the Hajj, O `Abdullah bin Qais?" I replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "What did you say?" I replied, "I said, 'Labbaik' and expressed the same intention as yours." He said, "Have you driven the Hadi along with you?" I replied, "No, I did not drive the Hadi." He said, "So perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba and then the Sai, between Safa and Marwa and then finish the state of Ihram." So I did the same, and one of the women of (the tribe of) Banu-Qais combed my hair. We continued to follow in that tradition till the caliphate of `Umar

حدثني عباس بن الوليد، حدثنا عبد الواحد، عن ايوب بن عايذ، حدثنا قيس بن مسلم، قال سمعت طارق بن شهاب، يقول حدثني ابو موسى الاشعري رضى الله عنه قال بعثني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الى ارض قومي، فجيت ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم منيخ بالابطح فقال " احججت يا عبد الله بن قيس ". قلت نعم يا رسول الله. قال " كيف قلت ". قال قلت لبيك اهلالا كاهلالك. قال " فهل سقت معك هديا ". قلت لم اسق. قال " فطف بالبيت واسع بين الصفا والمروة ثم حل ". ففعلت حتى مشطت لي امراة من نساء بني قيس، ومكثنا بذلك حتى استخلف عمر

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Mu`adh bin Jabal when he sent him to Yemen, "You will come to the people of Scripture, and when you reach them, invite them to testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle. And if they obey you in that, then tell them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers to be performed every day and night. And if they obey you in that, then tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) to be taken from the rich amongst them and given to the poor amongst them. And if they obey you in that, then be cautious! Don't take their best properties (as Zakat) and be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person as there is no screen between his invocation and Allah

حدثني حبان، اخبرنا عبد الله، عن زكرياء بن اسحاق، عن يحيى بن عبد الله بن صيفي، عن ابي معبد، مولى ابن عباس عن ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لمعاذ بن جبل حين بعثه الى اليمن " انك ستاتي قوما من اهل الكتاب، فاذا جيتهم فادعهم الى ان يشهدوا ان لا اله الا الله، وان محمدا رسول الله، فان هم طاعوا لك بذلك فاخبرهم ان الله قد فرض عليهم خمس صلوات في كل يوم وليلة، فان هم طاعوا لك بذلك، فاخبرهم ان الله قد فرض عليكم صدقة، توخذ من اغنيايهم، فترد على فقرايهم، فان هم طاعوا لك بذلك، فاياك وكرايم اموالهم، واتق دعوة المظلوم فانه ليس بينه وبين الله حجاب ". قال ابو عبد الله {طوعت} طاعت واطاعت لغة، طعت وطعت واطعت
