Pertaining To The Charateristics Of The Hypocrites And Command Concerning Them
(Kitab Sifat Al-Munafiqin Wa Ahkamihim)
Book 38, Number 6677:

Zaid b. Arqam reported: We set out on a journey along
with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) in which we faced many
hardships.'Abdullah b. Ubayy said to his friends: Do not give what you have
in your possession to those who are with Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) until they desert him. Zubair said: That is the reciting of that
person who recited as min haulahu (from around him) and the other reciting
is man haulahia (who are around him).And in this case when we would return
to Medina the honourable would drive out the meaner therefrom (lxiv. 8).I
came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and informed him about that
and he sent someone to 'Abdullah b. Ubayy and he asked him whether he had
said that or not. He took an oath to the fact that he had not done that and
told that it was Zaid who had stated a lie to Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him).Zaid said: I was much perturbed because of this until this
verse was revealed attesting my truth: "When the hypocrites come" (lxiii.
1). Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) then called them in order to
seek forgiveness for them, but they turned away their heads as if they were
hooks of wood fixed in the wall (lxiii. 4), and they were in fact apparently
good-looking persons.

Ibn 'Umar reported that when 'Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul
died. His son 'Abdullah b. 'Abdullah (b.Ubayy) came to Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) and begged him that he should give him his shirt
which he would use as a coffin for his father, he gave him that. He then
begged that he should conduct funeral prayer for him. Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) had hardly got up to observe the prayer for him that
'Umar stood up and caught hold of the garment of Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) and said: Allah's Messenger, are you going to conduct
prayer for this man, whereas Allah has forbidden you to offer prayer for
him? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Allah has
given me an option as He has said: "You may beg pardon for them or you may
not beg pardon for them, and even if you beg pardon for them, seventy times"
(ix. 80), and I am going to make an addition to the seventy. He was a
hypocrite and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) offered prayer for
him and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse: "Do not offer
prayer for any one of them at all and do not stand upon their graves for
(offering prayer over them)" (ix. 84).

Ibn Mas'ud reported that there gathered near the House
three persons amongst whom two were Quraishi and one was a Thaqafi or two
were Thaqafis and one was a Quraishi. They lacked understanding but wore
more flesh. One of them said: Do you think that Allah hears as we speak? The
other one said: He does hear when we speak loudly and He does not hear when
we speak in undertones, and still the other one said: If He listens when we
speak loudly, He also listens when we speak in undertones. It was on this
occasion that this verse was revealed: "You did not conceal yourselves lest
your ears, your eyes and your skins would stand witness against you" (xli.
22).

back.The Companions of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) were divided
in two groups. One group said: We would kill them, and the other one said:
No, this should not be done, and it was on this occasion that this verse was
revealed: "Why should you, then, be two parties in relation to hypocrites ?"
(iv. 88).

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that during the lifetime of
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) the hypocrites behaved in this way
that when Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) set out for a battle, they
kept themselves behind, and they became happy that they had managed to sit
in the house contrary to (the act of) Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him), and when Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) came back, they put
forward excuses and took oath and wished that people should laud them for
the deeds which they had not done. It was on this occasion that this verse
was revealed: "Think not that those who exult in what they have done, and
love to be praised for what they have not done-think not them to be safe
from the chastisement; and for them is a painful chastisement" (iii. 18).

Humaid b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Auf reported that Marwan
said to Rafi', his chamberlain, that he should go to Ibn 'Abbas and ask him:
If every one of us be punished for his being happy upon his deed and for his
being praised for what he has not done, nobody would be saved from the
torment. Ibn 'Abbas said: What you have to do with this verse? It has been
in fact revealed in connection with the people of the Book." Then Ibn Abbas
recited this verse: "When Allah took a covenant from those who had been
given the Book: You shall explain it to people and shall not conceal this"
(iii. 186), and then Ibn 'Abbas recited this verse: "Think not that those
who exult in what they have done and love to be praised for what they have
not done" (iii. 186). Ibn 'Abbas (further) said: Allah's Apostle (may peace
be upon him) asked them about something and then they concealed that and
they told him something else and they went out and they thought that they
had informed him as lie had asked them and they felt happy of what they had
concealed.

Qais reported: I said to 'Ammar: What is your opinion
about that which you have done in case (of your siding with Hadrat 'Ali)? Is
it your personal opinion or something you got from Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him)? 'Ammar said: We have got nothing from Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) which people at large did not get, but Hudhaifa told
me that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) had especially told him
amongst his Companion, that there would be twelve hypocrites out of whom
eight would not get into Paradise, until a camel would be able to pass
through the needle hole. The ulcer would be itself sufficient (to kill)
eight. So far as four are concerned, I do not remember what Shu'ba said
about them.

Qais b. 'Ubad reported: We said to 'Ammar: Was your
fighting (on the side of 'Ali in the Battle of Siffin) a matter of your own
choice or you got its hints from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
for it, is likely for one to err in one's own discretion or was it because
of any covenant that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) got from you?
He said: It was not because of any covenant that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) got from us which he did get from other people, and he
further said that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: "In my
Ummah." And I think that Hudhaifa reported to me and according to Ghundar
(the words are) that he said: In my Ummah, there would be twelve hypocrites
and they would not be admitted to Paradise and they would not smell its
odour, until the camel would pass through a needle's hole. Dubaila (ulcer)
would be enough to (torment them)-a kind of flame of Fire which would appear
in their shoulders and it would protrude from their chest.

Abu Tufail reported that there was a dispute between
Hudhaifa and one from the people of Aqaba as it happens amongst people. He
said: I adjure you by Allah to tell me as to how many people from Aqaba
were. The people said to him (Hudhaifa) to inform him as he had asked. We
have been informed that they were fourteen and If you are to be counted
amongst them, then they would be fifteen and I state by Allah that twelve
amongst them were the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger (may peace be
upon him) in this world. The rest of the three put forward this excuse: We
did not hear the announcement of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
and we were not aware of the intention of the people as he (the Holy
Prophet) had been in the hot atmosphere. He (the Holy Prophet) then said:
The water is small in quantity (at the next station). So nobody should go
ahead of me, but he found people who had gone ahead of him and he cursed
them on that day.

Jabir b. Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: He who climbed this hill, the hill of Murar, his
sins would be obliterated as were obliterated the sins of Bani Isra'il. So
the first to take their horses were the people of Banu Khazraj. Then there
was a ceaseless flow of persons and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said to them: All of you are those who have been pardoned except the
owner of a red camel. We came to him and said to him: You also come on, so
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) may seek forgiveness for you.
But he said: By Allah, so far as I am concerned, the finding of something
lost is dearer to me than seeking of forgiveness for me by your companion
(the Holy Prophet), and he remained busy in finding out his lost thing.

Jabir b. Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) as saying: He who would climb this hill of Murar. The rest of
the hadith is the same but with this variation that it was a desert Arab who
was finding out his lost thing.

Anas b. Malik reported: There was a person amongst us who
belonged to the tribe of Bani Najjar and he recited Sura al-Baqarah and
Surat Al-i-'Imran and he used to transcribe for Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him). He ran away as a rebel and joined the People of the Book. They
gave it much importance and said: He is the person who used to transcribe
for Muhammad and they were much pleased with him. Time rolled on that Allah
caused his death. They dug the grave and buried him therein, but they found
to their surprise that the earth had thrown him out over the surface. They
again dug the grave for him and buried him but the earth again threw him out
upon the surface. They again dug the grave for him and buried him but the
earth again threw him out upon the surface. At last they left him unburied.

Jabir reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) came back from a journey and as he was near Medina, there was such a
violent gale that the mountain seemed to be pressed. Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: This wind has perhaps been made to blow for the
death of a hypocrite, and as he reached Medina a notorious hypocrite from
amongst the hypocrites had died.

Iyas reported on the authority of his father: We went
along with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to visit a person
suffering from fever. When I placed my hand upon him, I said: By Allah, I
have never seen, till this day, a person running higher temperature than he.
Thereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), turning his face to his
companions, said: May I not inform you of a severer temperature than this
which these two persons would run on the Day of Resurrection? And they were
two hypocrites riding upon the camel turning their back towards (the
Muslims).

Ibn Umar reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
as saying: The similitude of a hypocrite is that of a sheep which roams
aimlessly between two flocks. She goes to one at one time and to the other
at another time.

Book 38, Number 6697 :
|
Ibn Umar reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
saying like this but with this change of words: "She sometimes finds a way
in one flock and then in another flock."
