Manna and quails
Narrated Sa`id Ibn Zaid:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Al-Kam'a is like the Mann (sweet resin or gum) (in that it grows naturally without
human care) and its water is a cure for the eye diseases."
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ الْكَمْأَةُ مِنَ الْمَنِّ وَمَاؤُهَا شِفَاءُ الْعَيْنِ
"Say (O Muhammad ﷺ : 'O mankind. Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) - to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Lailaha ilIa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). It is He Who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ,), the Prophet (ﷺ) who can neither read nor write (i.e., Muhammad ﷺ) ,who believes in Allah and His Words [(this Qur'an), the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gpspel) and also Allah's Word: "Be! - and he was, i.e., 'Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary) ;and follow him so that you may be guided." (V.7:158)
Narrated Abu Ad-Darda:
There was a dispute between Abu Bakr and `Umar, and Abu Bakr made `Umar angry. So `Umar left
angrily. Abu Bakr followed him, requesting him to ask forgiveness (of Allah) for him, but `Umar
refused to do so and closed his door in Abu Bakr's face. So Abu Bakr went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while
we were with him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "This friend of yours must have quarrelled (with somebody)."
In the meantime `Umar repented and felt sorry for what he had done, so he came, greeted (those who
were present) and sat with the Prophet (ﷺ) and related the story to him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became angry and
Abu Bakr started saying, "O Allah's Messenger! By Allah, I was more at fault (than `Umar)." Allah's
Apostle said, "Are you (people) leaving for me my companion? (Abu Bakr), Are you (people) leaving
for me my companion? When I said, 'O people I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah,' you said,
'You tell a lie.' while Abu Bakr said, 'You have spoken the truth ."

Allah's Saying: "And say ... Hittatun..." [i.e., (O Allah) forgive our sins] (V.7:161)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "It was said to the children of Israel, 'Enter the gate in prostration and say
Hitatun. (7.161) We shall forgive you, your faults.' But they changed (Allah's Order) and entered,
dragging themselves on their buttocks and said, 'Habatun (a grain) in a Sha'ratin (hair).
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قِيلَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ [ 2 58 58]ادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ نَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ فَبَدَّلُوا فَدَخَلُوا يَزْحَفُونَ عَلَى أَسْتَاهِهِمْ وَقَالُوا حَبَّةٌ فِي شَعَرَةٍ
"Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., don't punish them)." (V.7:199)
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
'Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifa came and stayed with his nephew Al-Hurr bin Qais who was one of
those whom `Umar used to keep near him, as the Qurra' (learned men knowing Qur'an by heart) were
the people of `Umar's meetings and his advisors whether they were old or young. 'Uyaina said to his
nephew, "O son of my brother! You have an approach to this chief, so get for me the permission to see
him." Al-Hurr said, "I will get the permission for you to see him." So Al-Hurr asked the permission
for 'Uyaina and `Umar admitted him. When 'Uyaina entered upon him, he said, "Beware! O the son of
Al-Khattab! By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with justice."
Thereupon `Umar became so furious that he intended to harm him, but Al-Hurr said, "O chief of the
Believers! Allah said to His Prophet: "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; and leave (don't
punish) the foolish." (7.199) and this (i.e. 'Uyaina) is one of the foolish." By Allah, `Umar did not
overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him; he observed (the orders of) Allah's Book
strictly.

"Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., don't punish them)." (V.7:199)
Narrated `Abdullah bin AzZubair:
(The Verse) "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right..." was revealed by Allah except in
connection with the character of the people.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ [ 7 199 199]خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ قَالَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ فِي أَخْلاَقِ النَّاسِ
"Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish (i.e., don't punish them)." (V.7:199)
`Abdullah bin Az-Zubair said:
Allah ordered His Prophet
to forgive the people their misbehavior (towards him).
وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الْعَفْوَ مِنْ أَخْلاَقِ النَّاسِ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ
The Statement of Allah: "They ask you (O Muhammad ﷺ) about Al-Anfal (the spoils of war). Say: 'The spoils are for Allah and the Messenger ﷺ.' So fear Allah and adjust all matters of difference among you..." (V.8:1)
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair:
I asked Ibn `Abbas regarding Surat-al-Anfal. He said, "It was revealed in connection with the Battle of
Badr."
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ سُورَةُ الأَنْفَالِ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي بَدْرٍ الشَّوْكَةُ الْحَدُّ مُرْدَفِينَ فَوْجًا بَعْدَ فَوْجٍ رَدِفَنِي وَأَرْدَفَنِي جَاءَ بَعْدِي ذُوقُوا بَاشِرُوا وَجَرِّبُوا وَلَيْسَ هَذَا مِنْ ذَوْقِ الْفَمِ فَيَرْكُمَهُ يَجْمَعُهُ شَرِّدْ فَرِّقْ [ 8 61 61]وَإِنْ جَنَحُوا طَلَبُوا يُثْخِنَ يَغْلِبَ وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ مُكَاءً إِدْخَالُ أَصَابِعِهِمْ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتَصْدِيَةً الصَّفِيرُ لِيُثْبِتُوكَ لِيَحْبِسُوكَ
"Verily! The worst of (moving) living creatures with Allah are the deaf and the dumb, those who understand not (i.e., the disbelievers) ." (V.8:22)
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Regarding the Verse: "Verily! The worst of beasts in the Sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb----
those who understand not." (8.22)
(The people referred to here) were some persons from the tribe of Bani `Abd-Addar.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَاءُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ [ 8 22 22]إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الصُّمُّ الْبُكْمُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ قَالَ هُمْ نَفَرٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ
"O you who believe! Answer Allah (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he () calls you to that which will give you life, and know that Allah comes in between a man and his heart (i.e., He prevents an evil person to decide anything). And verily, to Him you shall (all) be gathered." (V.8:24)
Narrated Abu Sa`id bin Al-Mu'alla:
While I was praying, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) passed me and called me, but I did not go to him until I had
finished the prayer. Then I went to him, and he said, "What prevented you from coming to me? Didn't
Allah say:-- "O you who believe! Answer the call of Allah (by obeying Him) and His Apostle when
He calls you?" He then said, "I will inform you of the greatest Sura in the Qur'an before I leave (the
mosque)." When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got ready to leave (the mosque), I reminded him. He said, "It is:
'Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.' (i.e. Surat-al-Fatiha) As-sab'a Al-Mathani (the seven
repeatedly recited Verses).

The Statement of Allah: "And (remember) when they said, 'O Allah! If this (the Qur'an) is indeed the truth (revealed) from You, then rain down stones on us..." (V.8:32)
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Abu Jahl said, "O Allah! If this (Qur'an) is indeed the Truth from You, then rain down on us a shower
of stones from the sky or bring on us a painful torment." So Allah revealed:-- "But Allah would not
punish them while you were amongst them, nor He will punish them while they seek (Allah's)
forgiveness..." (8.33) And why Allah should not punish them while they turn away (men) from Al-
Masjid-al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque of Mecca)..." (8.33-34)

The Statement of Allah: "And Allah would not punish them while you (Muhammad ﷺ) are amongst them, nor will He punish them while they seek (Allah's) forgiveness." (V.8:33)
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Abu Jahl said, "O Allah! If this (Qur'an) is indeed the Truth from You), then rain down on us a shower
of stones from the sky or bring on us a painful punishment." So there was revealed:-- 'But Allah
would not punish them while you (Muhammad) were amongst them, nor will He punish them while
they seek (Allah's) Forgiveness. And why Allah should not punish them while they stop (men) from
Al-Masjid-al-Haram ..' (8.33-34)

"And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism, i.e., worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will be all for Allah (Alone) (in the whole of the world)..." (V.8:39)
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
That a man came to him (while two groups of Muslims were fighting) and said, "O Abu `Abdur
Rahman! Don't you hear what Allah has mentioned in His Book:
'And if two groups of believers fight against each other...' (49.9)
So what prevents you from fighting as Allah has mentioned in His Book?"' Ibn `Umar said, "O son of
my brother! I would rather be blamed for not fighting because of this Verse than to be blamed because
of another Verse where Allah says:
'And whoever kills a believer intentionally..." (4.93) Then that man said, "Allah says:-- 'And fight
them until there is no more afflictions (worshipping other besides Allah) and the religion (i.e.
worship) will be all for Allah (Alone)" (8.39) Ibn `Umar said, "We did this during the lifetime of
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when the number of Muslims was small, and a man was put to trial because of his
religion, the pagans would either kill or chain him; but when the Muslims increased (and Islam
spread), there was no persecution." When that man saw that Ibn `Umar did not agree to his proposal,
he said, "What is your opinion regarding `Ali and `Uthman?" Ibn `Umar said, "What is my opinion
regarding `Ali and `Uthman? As for `Uthman, Allah forgave him and you disliked to forgive him, and
`Ali is the cousin and son-in-law of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." Then he pointed out with his hand and said,
"And that is his daughter's (house) which you can see."

"And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism, i.e., worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will be all for Allah (Alone) (in the whole of the world)..." (V.8:39)
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair:
Ibn `Umar came to us and a man said (to him), "What do you think about 'Qit-alal-Fitnah' (fighting
caused by afflictions)." Ibn `Umar said (to him), "And do you understand what an affliction is?
Muhammad used to fight against the pagans, and his fighting with them was an affliction, (and his
fighting was) not like your fighting which is carried on for the sake of ruling."

"0 Prophet (Muhammad ﷺ)! Urge the believers to fight..." (V.8:65)
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
When the Verse:-- "If there are twenty steadfast amongst you, they will overcome two hundred."
(8.65) was revealed, then it became obligatory for the Muslims that one (Muslim) should not flee from
ten (non-Muslims). Sufyan (the sub-narrator) once said, "Twenty (Muslims) should not flee before
two hundred (non Muslims)." Then there was revealed: 'But now Allah has lightened your (task)..'
(8.66)
So it became obligatory that one-hundred (Muslims) should not flee before two hundred (nonmuslims).
(Once Sufyan said extra, "The Verse: 'Urge the believers to the fight. If there are twenty
steadfast amongst you (Muslims) ..' was revealed.) Sufyan said, "Ibn Shabrama said, "I see that this
order is applicable to the obligation of enjoining good and forbidding evil."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ [ 8 65 65]إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ يَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَيْنِ فَكُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ لاَ يَفِرَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ عَشَرَةٍ ـ فَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ أَنْ لاَ يَفِرَّ عِشْرُونَ مِنْ مِائَتَيْنِ ـ ثُمَّ نَزَلَتِ [ 8 66 66]الآنَ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْكُمُ الآيَةَ فَكَتَبَ أَنْ لاَ يَفِرَّ مِائَةٌ مِنْ مِائَتَيْنِ ـ زَادَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً ـ نَزَلَتْ [ 8 65 65]حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَقَالَ ابْنُ شُبْرُمَةَ وَأُرَى الأَمْرَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْىَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ مِثْلَ هَذَا
"Now that Allah has lightened your (task), for He knows that there is weakness in you..." (V.8:66)
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
When the Verse:--'If there are twenty steadfast amongst you (Muslims), they will overcome twohundred
(non-Muslims).' was revealed, it became hard on the Muslims when it became compulsory
that one Muslim ought not to flee (in war) before ten (non-Muslims). So (Allah) lightened the order by
revealing:
'(But) now Allah has lightened your (task) for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are
of you one-hundred steadfast, they will overcome (two-hundred (non-Muslims).' (8.66) So when
Allah reduced the number of enemies which Muslims should withstand, their patience and
perseverance against the enemy decreased as much as their task was lightened for them.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ السُّلَمِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ خِرِّيتٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ [ 8 65 65]إِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَابِرُونَ يَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَيْنِ شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ حِينَ فُرِضَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ لاَ يَفِرَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ عَشَرَةٍ فَجَاءَ التَّخْفِيفُ فَقَالَ [ 8 66 66]الآنَ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْكُمْ وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ فِيكُمْ ضُعْفًا فَإِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْكُمْ مِائَةٌ صَابِرَةٌ يَغْلِبُوا مِائَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ مِنَ الْعِدَّةِ نَقَصَ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ بِقَدْرِ مَا خُفِّفَ عَنْهُمْ
Allah's Statement: "Freedom from (all) obligations (is declared) from Allah and His Messenger ﷺ to those of the Mushrikin [polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ] with whom you made a treaty." (V.9:1)
Narrated Al-Bara:
The last Verse that was revealed was:
'They ask you for a legal verdict: Say: Allah directs (thus) about Al-Kalalah (those who leave no
descendants or ascendants as heirs).' And the last Sura which was revealed was Baraatun (9) .
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ آخِرُ آيَةٍ نَزَلَتْ [ 4 176 176]يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلاَلَةِ وَآخِرُ سُورَةٍ نَزَلَتْ بَرَاءَةٌ
The Statement of Allah: "So travel freely (O Mushrikün) for four months (as you will) throughout the land, but know that you cannot escape (from the punishment of) Allah, and Allah will disgrace the disbelievers." (V.9:2)
Narrated Humaid bin `Abdur-Rahman:
Abu Huraira said, "During that Hajj (in which Abu Bakr was the chief of the pilgrims) Abu Bakr sent
me along with announcers on the Day of Nahr ( 10th of Dhul-Hijja) in Mina to announce: "No pagans
shall perform, Hajj after this year, and none shall perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba in a naked
state." Humaid bin `Abdur Rahman added: Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent `Ali bin Abi Talib (after Abu
Bakr) and ordered him to recite aloud in public Surat Bara'a. Abu Huraira added, "So `Ali, along with
us, recited Bara'a (loudly) before the people at Mina on the Day of Nahr and announced; "No pagan
shall perform Hajj after this year and none shall perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba in a naked
state."
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَجَّةِ فِي مُؤَذِّنِينَ بَعَثَهُمْ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ يُؤَذِّنُونَ بِمِنًى أَنْ لاَ يَحُجَّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِكٌ وَلاَ يَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ قَالَ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ثُمَّ أَرْدَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ بِبَرَاءَةَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَأَذَّنَ مَعَنَا عَلِيٌّ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ فِي أَهْلِ مِنًى بِبَرَاءَةَ وَأَنْ لاَ يَحُجَّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِكٌ وَلاَ يَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ
Allah's Statement: "And a declaration from Allah and His Messenger... (up to)... Mushrikün ." (V.9:3)
Narrated Humaid bin `Abdur Rahman:
Abu Huraira said, "Abu Bakr sent me in that Hajj in which he was the chief of the pilgrims along with
the announcers whom he sent on the Day of Nahr to announce at Mina: "No pagan shall perform Hajj
after this year, and none shall perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba in a naked state." Humaid added:
That the Prophet (ﷺ) sent `Ali bin Abi Talib (after Abu Bakr) and ordered him to recite aloud in public
Surat-Baraa. Abu Huraira added, "So `Ali, along with us, recited Bara'a (loudly) before the people at
Mina on the Day of Nahr and announced "No pagan shall perform Hajj after this year and none shall

"Except those of the Mushrikün [polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ] with whom you (Muslims) have a treaty..." (V.9:4)
Narrated Humaid bin `Abdur-Rahman:
Abu Huraira said that Abu Bakr sent him during the Hajj in which Abu Bakr was made the chief of
the pilgrims by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) before (the year of) Hajjat al-Wada` in a group (of announcers) to
announce before the people; 'No pagan shall perform the Hajj after this year, and none shall perform
the Tawaf around the Ka`ba in a naked state. Humaid used to say The Day of Nahr is the day of Al-
Hajj Al-Akbar (the Greatest Day) because of the narration of Abu Huraira.

The Statement of Allah: "Fight you the leaders of disbelief (chiefs of Quraish - Mushrikün of Makkah) for surely their oaths are nothing to them..." (V.9:12)
Narrated Zaid bin Wahb:
We were with Hudhaifa and he said, "None remains of the people described by this Verse (9.12),
"Except three, and of the hypocrites except four." A bedouin said, "You the companions of
Muhammad! Tell us (things) and we do not know that about those who break open our houses and
steal our precious things? ' He (Hudhaifa) replied, "Those are Al Fussaq (rebellious wrongdoers) (not
disbelievers or hypocrites). Really, none remains of them (hypocrite) but four, one of whom is a very
old man who, if he drinks water, does not feel its coldness."
