' He (Hudhaifa) replied, "Those are Al Fussaq (rebellious wrongdoers) (not disbelievers or hypocrites).

Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:When there happened the disagreement between Ibn Az-Zubair and Ibn `Abbas, I said (to the latter), "(Why don't you take the oath of allegiance to him as) his father is Az-Zubair, and his mother is Asma,' and his aunt is `Aisha, and his maternal grandfather is Abu Bakr, and his grandmother is Safiya?

حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد، حدثنا ابن عيينة، عن ابن جريج، عن ابن ابي مليكة، عن ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما انه قال حين وقع بينه وبين ابن الزبير قلت ابوه الزبير، وامه اسماء، وخالته عايشة، وجده ابو بكر، وجدته صفية. فقلت لسفيان اسناده. فقال حدثنا، فشغله انسان ولم يقل ابن جريج

Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:There was a disagreement between them (i.e. Ibn `Abbas and Ibn Az-Zubair) so I went to Ibn `Abbas in the morning and said (to him), "Do you want to fight against Ibn Az-Zubair and thus make lawful what Allah has made unlawful (i.e. fighting in Mecca)?" Ibn `Abbas said, "Allah forbid! Allah ordained that Ibn Az-Zubair and Bani Umaiya would permit (fighting in Mecca), but by Allah, I will never regard it as permissible." Ibn `Abbas added. "The people asked me to take the oath of allegiance to Ibn Az-Zubair. I said, 'He is really entitled to assume authority for his father, Az-Zubair was the helper of the Prophet, his (maternal) grandfather, Abu Bakr was (the Prophet's) companion in the cave, his mother, Asma' was 'Dhatun-Nitaq', his aunt, `Aisha was the mother of the Believers, his paternal aunt, Khadija was the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) , and the paternal aunt of the Prophet (ﷺ) was his grandmother. He himself is pious and chaste in Islam, well versed in the Knowledge of the Qur'an. By Allah! (Really, I left my relatives, Bani Umaiya for his sake though) they are my close relatives, and if they should be my rulers, they are equally apt to be so and are descended from a noble family

حدثني عبد الله بن محمد، قال حدثني يحيى بن معين، حدثنا حجاج، قال ابن جريج قال ابن ابي مليكة وكان بينهما شىء فغدوت على ابن عباس فقلت اتريد ان تقاتل ابن الزبير، فتحل حرم الله. فقال معاذ الله، ان الله كتب ابن الزبير وبني امية محلين، واني والله لا احله ابدا. قال قال الناس بايع لابن الزبير. فقلت واين بهذا الامر عنه اما ابوه فحواري النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، يريد الزبير، واما جده فصاحب الغار، يريد ابا بكر، وامه فذات النطاق، يريد اسماء، واما خالته فام المومنين، يريد عايشة، واما عمته فزوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، يريد خديجة، واما عمة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فجدته، يريد صفية، ثم عفيف في الاسلام، قاري للقران. والله ان وصلوني وصلوني من قريب، وان ربوني ربني اكفاء كرام، فاثر التويتات والاسامات والحميدات، يريد ابطنا من بني اسد بني تويت وبني اسامة وبني اسد، ان ابن ابي العاص برز يمشي القدمية، يعني عبد الملك بن مروان، وانه لوى ذنبه، يعني ابن الزبير

Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:We entered upon Ibn `Abbas and he said "Are you not astonished at Ibn Az-Zubair's assuming the caliphate?" I said (to myself), "I will support him and speak of his good traits as I did not do even for Abu Bakr and `Umar though they were more entitled to receive all good than he was." I said "He (i.e Ibn Az-Zubair) is the son of the aunt of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the son of Az-Zubair, and the grandson of Abu Bakr and the son of Khadija's brother, and the son of `Aisha's sister." Nevertheless, he considers himself to be superior to me and does not want me to be one of his friends. So I said, "I never expected that he would refuse my offer to support him, and I don't think he intends to do me any good, therefore, if my cousins should inevitably be my rulers, it will be better for me to be ruled by them than by some others

حدثنا محمد بن عبيد بن ميمون، حدثنا عيسى بن يونس، عن عمر بن سعيد، قال اخبرني ابن ابي مليكة، دخلنا على ابن عباس فقال الا تعجبون لابن الزبير قام في امره هذا فقلت لاحاسبن نفسي له ما حاسبتها لابي بكر ولا لعمر، ولهما كانا اولى بكل خير منه، وقلت ابن عمة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وابن الزبير، وابن ابي بكر، وابن اخي خديجة، وابن اخت عايشة فاذا هو يتعلى عني ولا يريد ذلك فقلت ما كنت اظن اني اعرض هذا من نفسي، فيدعه، وما اراه يريد خيرا، وان كان لا بد لان يربني بنو عمي احب الى من ان يربني غيرهم

Narrated Abu Sa`id:Something was sent to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he distributed it amongst four (men) and said, "I want to attract their hearts,(to Islam thereby)," A man said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "You have not done justice." Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There will emerge from the offspring of this (man) some people who will renounce the religion

حدثنا محمد بن كثير، اخبرنا سفيان، عن ابيه، عن ابن ابي نعم، عن ابي سعيد رضى الله عنه قال بعث الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بشىء، فقسمه بين اربعة وقال " اتالفهم ". فقال رجل ما عدلت. فقال " يخرج من ضيضي هذا قوم يمرقون من الدين

Narrated Abu Mas`ud:When we were ordered to give alms, we began to work as porters (to earn something we could give in charity). Abu `Aqil came with one half of a Sa` (special measure for food grains) and another person brought more than he did. So the hypocrites said, "Allah is not in need of the alms of this (i.e. Abu `Aqil); and this other person did not give alms but for showing off." Then Allah revealed:-- 'Those who criticize such of the Believers who give charity voluntarily and those who could not find to give in charity except what is available to them

حدثني بشر بن خالد ابو محمد، اخبرنا محمد بن جعفر، عن شعبة، عن سليمان، عن ابي وايل، عن ابي مسعود، قال لما امرنا بالصدقة كنا نتحامل فجاء ابو عقيل بنصف صاع، وجاء انسان باكثر منه، فقال المنافقون ان الله لغني عن صدقة هذا، وما فعل هذا الاخر الا رياء. فنزلت {الذين يلمزون المطوعين من المومنين في الصدقات والذين لا يجدون الا جهدهم} الاية

Narrated Shaqiq:Abu Mas`ud Al-Ansari said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), used to order us to give alms. So one of us would exert himself to earn one Mud (special measure of wheat or dates, etc.,) to give in charity; while today one of us may have one hundred thousand." Shaqiq said: As if Abu Masud referred to himself

حدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، قال قلت لابي اسامة احدثكم زايدة عن سليمان عن شقيق عن اب��ي مسعود الانصاري قال كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يامر بالصدقة، فيحتال احدنا حتى يجيء بالمد، وان لاحدهم اليوم ماية الف. كانه يعرض بنفسه

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:When `Abdullah bin 'Ubai died, his son `Abdullah bin `Abdullah came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him to give him his shirt in order to shroud his father in it. He gave it to him and then `Abdullah asked the Prophet (ﷺ) to offer the funeral prayer for him (his father). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up to offer the funeral prayer for him, but `Umar got up too and got hold of the garment of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Will you offer the funeral prayer for him though your Lord has forbidden you to offer the prayer for him" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "But Allah has given me the choice by saying: '(Whether you) ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them; even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times..' (9.80) so I will ask more than seventy times." `Umar said, "But he (`Abdullah bin 'Ubai) is a hypocrite!" However, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did offer the funeral prayer for him whereupon Allah revealed: 'And never (O Muhammad) pray for anyone of them that dies, nor stand at his grave

حدثنا عبيد بن اسماعيل، عن ابي اسامة، عن عبيد الله، عن نافع، عن ابن عمر رضى الله عنهما قال لما توفي عبد الله جاء ابنه عبد الله بن عبد الله الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فساله ان يعطيه قميصه يكفن فيه اباه فاعطاه، ثم ساله ان يصلي عليه، فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليصلي فقام عمر فاخذ بثوب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله تصلي عليه وقد نهاك ربك ان تصلي عليه فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " انما خيرني الله فقال {استغفر لهم او لا تستغفر لهم ان تستغفر لهم سبعين مرة} وسازيده على السبعين ". قال انه منافق. قال فصلى عليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فانزل الله {ولا تصل على احد منهم مات ابدا ولا تقم على قبره}

Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab:When `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul died, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was called in order to offer the funeral prayer for him. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up (to offer the prayer) I jumped towards him and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do you offer the prayer for Ibn Ubai although he said so-and-so on such-and-such-a day?" I went on mentioning his sayings. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and said, "Keep away from me, O `Umar!" But when I spoke too much to him, he said, "I have been given the choice, and I have chosen (this) ; and if I knew that if I asked forgiveness for him more than seventy times, he would be forgiven, I would ask it for more times than that." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer for him and then left, but he did not stay long before the two Verses of Surat-Bara'a were revealed, i.e.:-- 'And never (O Muhammad) pray for anyone of them that dies.... and died in a state of rebellion.' (9.84) Later I was astonished at my daring to speak like that to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Allah and His Apostle know best

حدثنا يحيى بن بكير، حدثنا الليث، عن عقيل،. وقال غيره حدثني الليث، حدثني عقيل، عن ابن شهاب، قال اخبرني عبيد الله بن عبد الله، عن ابن عباس، عن عمر بن الخطاب رضى الله عنه انه قال لما مات عبد الله بن ابى ابن سلول دعي له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ليصلي عليه فلما قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وثبت اليه، فقلت يا رسول الله، اتصلي على ابن ابى وقد قال يوم كذا كذا وكذا قال اعدد عليه قوله، فتبسم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقال " اخر عني يا عمر ". فلما اكثرت عليه قال " اني خيرت فاخترت، لو اعلم اني ان زدت على السبعين يغفر له لزدت عليها ". قال فصلى عليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم انصرف فلم يمكث الا يسيرا حتى نزلت الايتان من براءة {ولا تصل على احد منهم مات ابدا} الى قوله {وهم فاسقون} قال فعجبت بعد من جراتي على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والله ورسوله اعلم

Narrated Ibn `Umar:When `Abdullah bin Ubai died, his son `Abdullah bin `Abdullah came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who gave his shirt to him and ordered him to shroud his father in it. Then he stood up to offer the funeral prayer for the deceased, but `Umar bin Al-Khattab took hold of his garment and said, "Do you offer the funeral prayer for him though he was a hypocrite and Allah has forbidden you to ask forgiveness for hypocrites?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has given me the choice (or Allah has informed me) saying: "Whether you, O Muhammad, ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them, even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will not forgive them," (9.80) Then he added, "I will (appeal to Allah for his sake) more than seventy times." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer for him and we too, offered the prayer along with him. Then Allah revealed: "And never, O Muhammad, pray (funeral prayer) for anyone of them that dies, nor stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah and His Apostle and died in a state of rebellion

Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b:I heard Ka`b bin Malik at the time he remained behind and did not join (the battle of) Tabuk, saying, "By Allah, no blessing has Allah bestowed upon me, besides my guidance to Islam, better than that of helping me speak the truth to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) otherwise I would have told the Prophet (ﷺ) a lie and would have been ruined like those who had told a lie when the Divine Inspiration was revealed:-- "They will swear by Allah to you (Muslims) when you return to them.. the rebellious people

حدثنا يحيى، حدثنا الليث، عن عقيل، عن ابن شهاب، عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله، ان عبد الله بن كعب بن مالك، قال سمعت كعب بن مالك، حين تخلف عن تبوك، والله، ما انعم الله على من نعمة بعد اذ هداني اعظم من صدقي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ان لا اكون كذبته فاهلك كما هلك الذين كذبوا حين انزل الوحى {سيحلفون بالله لكم اذا انقلبتم اليهم} الى {الفاسقين}
