Hadith 249

Al-Kazruni said regarding the farewell Hajj – ‘They came with a child to Rasool-Allah-saww on the day he had been born. He-saww said: ‘Who am I-saww? ’ He said, ‘Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj’. He-saww said: ‘You speak the truth, may Allah-azwj Bless you’. Then the boy did not speak after it until he had grown, and he was named as the Blessed on of Yamama’. Then he said regarding the evens of the year ten – ‘And during it Bazan the governor of Al-Yemen died, so Rasool-Allah-saww divided its work between Shahr Bin Bazan and Aamir Bin Shahr Al-Hamdany and Abu Musa Al-Ashary and Khalid Bin Saeed Bin Al-Aas and Ya’la Bin Amiya and Amro bin Hazm and Ziyad bin Labeyd Al-Bayazi, to be in charge upon Hazramaut, and Akasha Bin Sowr to be in charge upon Al-Sakasak and Al-Sakun. And he-saww sent Muaz Bin Jabal to the people of the two cities, Al-Yemen and Hazramaut and said to him: ‘O Muaz! Beware of going ahead to a group of the people of the Book, and they would be asking you about the keys of the Paradise, so inform them that the keys of the Paradise is (saying the phrase), ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj’, and it tears apart all thing until you end up to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, not veiling besides it. One who comes with it on the Day of Qiyamah sincerely, will outweigh all sins’. I (Muaz) said, ‘What is your-saww view of what I am asked about and it is contended to me regarding it, from what isn’t in the Book of Allah-azwj, and I have not hear any Sunnah (Hadeeth) from you-saww? ’ He-saww said: ‘Be humble to Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj will Raise you, and do not pass judgment except with knowledge. If a matter is difficult/ambiguous to you, then ask and do not be embarrassed, and consult, then strive, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Know the sincerity from you, He-azwj will Make you understand. If it is obscure upon you, then stop until it is proven, or you write to me-saww regarding it. And be cautious of the whims/opining for it is a guide of the wretched ones to the Fire, and upon you is to be with the kindness’’. Then he said, ‘And during it Rasool-Allah-saww sent Jareer Bin Abdullah Al-Bajali to Zi Al Kala’a Bin Nakour Bin Habeeb Bin Malik Bin Hasaan Bin Tab’a. He became a Muslim and his wife Zareeba Bint Abrah Bin Al-Sabah became a Muslim’. And it is reported by Al-Rayashi, from Al-Asmaie who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww communicated with Zal Kala’a from the kings of Al Taif upon Jareer Bin Abdullah inviting him to, and he had quit his matter until he claimed Lordship, so he obeyed’. It is reported from Rashid Bin Amro Al-Jazami who said, ‘Farwa Bin Amro Al-Jazani was a governor for Rome. He became a Muslim and wrote to Rasool-Allah-saww with his Islam and sent it with a man from his people called Masoud Bin Sa’ad and sent a mule for him-saww (called) Bayza’a, with a horse and a donkey and garments and a cloak of brocade woven with gold. And Rasool-Allah-saww wrote to him: ‘From Muhammad-saww, Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, to Farwa Bin Amro. As for after, your messenger has arrived to us and delivered what you had sent him with and news of what is before you and has come to us with your Islam, and that Allah-azwj Guides us with His-azwj Guidance’’. And he-saww instructed Bilal and gave his messengers, twelve ounces (gold), and half of everything. And the Islam of Farwa reached the king of Rome. He summoned him and said to him, ‘Return from your Religion, we shall make you a king’. He said, ‘I will not separate from the Religion of Muhammad-saww, and you know that Isa-as had given the glad tidings with him-saww, but you are being stingy with your kingdom’. He imprisoned him, and killed him and crucified him’. And during it, Ibrahim-as son-as of Rasool-Allah-saww passed away. He-as was born in Zul Hijjah of the year eight, and he-as expired during Rabbi Al Awwal of this year and was buried at al Baqie (cemetery), and the sun eclipsed on the day of his-as passing away. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The sun and the moon are two Signs from the Signs of Allah-azwj. They did not eclipse to the death of anyone. So when you do see them (to have eclipsed), then it is up to you with the supplications until it (eclipse) is removed’. And he said regarding the events of the year eleven, ‘During this year a delegation of Al-Nakha’a came to Rasool-Allah-saww from Al-Yemen in the middle of Al-Muharram, and they were two hundred men acknowledging with, and they had pledged allegiance to Muaz Bin Jabal at Al-Yemen, and they were the last of the delegations to arrive to Rasool-Allah-saww’. And during this year, Rasool-Allah-saww sought Forgiveness of the people of Al-Baqie. It is reported from Abu Muweyhib a slave of Rasool-Allah-saww having said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww alerted me during Al-Muharran of his-saww returned from his-saww Hajj and I do not know what had passed from the night and what had remained, and he-saww said: ‘Come for I-saww have been Commanded that I-saww should seek Forgiveness for the people (occupants) of this Al-Baqie (cemetery)’. So I went out with him-saww and he-saww sought Forgiveness for them for a long time, then said: ‘May it be destroyed what you have come to be in. The Fitna has approached like a piece of the dark night, its last one following its first one, and the last one being more evil than the first. O Abu Muweyhib! I-saww am being Given the treasures of the world and the eternity in it, then the Paradise, so I-saww have to choose bet
