Abu'l-Haytham said, "Some people came to 'Uqba ibn 'Amir and said,
'We have some neighbours who drink (wine) and behave incorrectly. Shall
we bring them before the ruler?' 'No,' he replied, 'I heard the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "Whoever sees the
fault of a Muslim and then veils it, it is as if he brought girl buried
alive back to life from her grave.''"
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا قَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَنَائِمَ حُنَيْنٍ بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ ازْدَحَمُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّ عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى قَوْمٍ، فَكَذَّبُوهُ وَشَجُّوهُ، فَكَانَ يَمْسَحُ الدَّمَ عَنْ جَبْهَتِهِ وَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي، فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَحْكِي الرَّجُلَ يَمْسَحُ عَنْ جَبْهَتِهِ.
Ibn Mas'ud said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, divided the booty of Hunayn at Ji'rana, the people
crowded up against him. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'Allah sent on of His slaves to a people and
they rejected him and wounded him in the head. He wiped the blood from
his brow, saying, "O Allah, forgive my people for they do not know."'"
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: إِذَا سَمِعْتَ الرَّجُلَ يَقُولُ: هَلَكَ النَّاسُ، فَهُوَ أَهْلَكُهُمْ.
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "When you hear a man saying, 'People are
destroyed,' then he has destroyed them."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: اسْتَأْذَنَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَوْدَةُ لَيْلَةَ جَمْعٍ، وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً ثَقِيلَةً ثَبِطَةً، فَأَذِنَ لَهَا.
'A'isha said, "Sawda, who was a heavy, sluggish woman, asked for
permission to come in (to see the Prophet) on the night of Jam' (Muzdalifa)
and he gave her permission."
