حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَتْ: أَتَتْنِي أُمِّي رَاغِبَةً، فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَصِلُهَا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهَا: {لاَ يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ}.
Asma' bint Abi Bakr said, "In the time of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, my mother came to me hoping (I would be dutiful).
I asked the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, 'Do I have
to treat her well?' 'Yes,' he replied."
"Four ayats were revealed about me. The first
was when my mother swore she would neither eat nor drink until I left Muhammad,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah Almighty revealed, 'But
if they try to make you associate something with Me about which you have
no knowledge, do not obey them. Keep company with them correctly and courteously
in this world' (31:15) The second was when I took a sword that
I admired and said, 'Messenger of Allah, give me this!' Then the ayat
was revealed: 'They will ask you about booty.' (8:1) The third was
when I was ill and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, came to me and I said, 'Messenger of Allah, I want to divide my
property. Can I will away a half?' He said, 'No.' 'A third?' I asked. He
was silent and so after that it was allowed to will away a third. The fourth
was when I had been drinking wine with some of the Ansar. One of them hit
my nose with the jawbone of a camel. I went to the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and Allah Almighty revealed the prohibition of wine."
Ibn 'Umar said, "'Umar saw a silk robe for sale. He said, 'Messenger
of Allah, would you buy this robe and wear it on Jumu'a and when delegations
visit you?' He replied, 'Only a person who has no portion in the Next World
could wear this.' Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, was given some robes made of the same material. He sent one of
the robes to 'Umar. 'Umar exclaimed, 'How can I wear it when you said what
you said about it?' The Prophet replied, 'I did not give it to you so that
you could wear it. You can sell it or give it to someone.' 'Umar sent it
to a brother of his in Makka who had not yet become Muslim."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas mentioned the words of the Almighty, "When one or both
of them reach old age with you, do not say 'Ugh!' to them out of irritation
and do not be harsh with them but speak to them with gentleness and generosity.
Take them under your wing, out of mercy, with due humility and say:
'Lord,
show mercy to them as they did in looking after me when I was small."
(17:23-24) He said, "This was abrogated in Surat at-Tawba: 'It
is not right for the Prophet and those who have iman to ask forgiveness for
the mushrikun even if they are close relatives after it has become clear
to them that they are the Companions of the Blazing Fire.' (9:113)"
