They replied: "Hunger, O Allah's Messenger." He said: "By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand my soul is, I too have come out for the same reason for which you have come out". Then he صلى الله عليه وسلم said to them (both): "Come along!"And he went along with them to a man from the Ansar but they did not find him in his house. The wife of that man saw the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said: "You are welcome." Allah's Messenger صلى اللّه عليه وسلم asked her (saying): "Where is so-and-so?" She replied: "He has gone to fetch some water for us." In the mean time the Ansarî man came, saw Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم with his two Companions and said: "All the praise and thanks be to Allah: today there is none superior to me as regards guests." Then he went and brought a part of a bunch of date-fruit, having dates, some still green, some ripe and some fully ripe and requested them to eat from it. He then took his knife (to slaughter for them a sheep). Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him: "Beware! Do not slaughter a milch sheep". So he slaughtered a sheep (prepared the meals from its meat). They ate from that sheep and that bunch of dates and drank water. After they had finished eating رضى said to Abu Bakr and 'Umar صلى الله عليه وسلم and drinking to their fill, Allah's Messenger Luis AI : "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, you will be asked about this treat on the Day of Resurrection. He (Allah) brought you out of your homes with hunger and you are not returning to your homes till you have been blessed with this treat." (Sahih Muslim, Vol.6, The Book of Drinks, Chapter 20, Pages 116,117). Sûrah 103. Al-'Asr Sûrah104.

[The Elephant army which came from Yemen under the command of Abrahah Al-Ashram intending to destroy the Ka'bah at Makkah]. 2. Did He not make their plot go astray? 3. And He sent against them birds, in flocks, 4. Striking them with stones of Sijjîl (baked clay). 5. And He made them like (an empty field of) stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).[1] بِسمِ اللهِالرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَوْتَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَبِ اُلْفِيلِ أَلَمْ نَجْعَلَكَيْدَهُمْ فِ تَضْلِيلٍ وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣ تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةِمِّنِ سِجِيلٍ فَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ [1] (V.105:5) The story of the army of the Elephants (the Qur'an 105:1-5). This incident . صلى الله عليه وسلم happened during the period of the birth-year of Prophet Muhammad Abrahah Al-Ashram was the governor of Yemen on behalf of the king of Ethiopia (as Yemen was a part of the Ethiopian kingdom). He (Abrahah) thought to build a house (like the Ka'bah at Makkah) in San'a (the capital of Yemen) and call the Arabs to perform the pilgrimage there in San'a instead of the Ka'bah (Al-Bait Al-Harâm) in Makkah, with the intention of diverting the trade and benefits from Makkah to Yemen. He presented his idea to the king of Ethiopia who agreed to his idea. So the house (church) was built and he named it Al-Qullais; there was no church of its like at that time. Then a man from the Quraish tribe of Makkah came there and was infuriated by it, so he relieved his nature (stools and urine) in it, soiled its walls and went away. When Abrahah Al-Ashram saw that, he could not control his anger and raised an army to invade Makkah and demolish the Ka'bah. He had in that army thirteen elephants and amongst them was an elephant called Mahmud which was the biggest of them. So that army proceeded and none amongst the Arab tribes that faced them (fought against them) but was killed and defeated, till it approached near Makkah. Then there took place negotiations between Abrahah Al-Ashram and the chief of Makkah (Abdul Muttalib bin Hashim, the grandfather of the Prophet & 1. , le), and it was concluded that Abrahah would restore the camels of Abdul Muttalib which he had taken away, and then he (Abrahah Al-Ashram) would decide himself as regards the Ka'bah. Abdul Muttalib ordered the men of Makkah to evacuate the city and go to the top of the mountains along with their wives and children in case some harm should come to them from the invading oppressors. Then that army moved towards Makkah till سورة قريش ١٠٦ سورة الماعون ١٠٧ الجزء ٣٠ 851 Surah 106. Quraish Surah 107. Al-Mâ'ûn Part 30 Sûrat Quraish (Quraish) CVI In the Name of Allâh the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 1. (It is a great Grace and Protection from Allâh) for the taming of the Quraish, 2. (And with all those Allah's Grace and Protections for their taming, We cause) the (Quraish) caravans to set forth safe in winter (to the south) and in summer (to the north without any fear), 3. So let them worship (Allâh) the Lord of this House (the Ka'bah in Makkah), 4. (He) Who has fed them against hunger, and has made them safe from fear. ◌ِاللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِالرَّحِيمِ لِإِیلَفِقُرَیْشٍ إِ لَفِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِنَاءِ وَالصَّيْفِ فَلْيَعْبُدُوارَبَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ اُلَّذِىّ أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعِ وَءَامَنَهُم مِنْ خَوْفٍ Sûrat Al-Mâ'ûn (The Small Kindnesses) CVII سُورَةُ الْحَاعُون In the Name of Allâh the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 1. Have you seen him who denies the Recompense? 2. That is he who repulses the orphan (harshly),[1] 3. And urges not on the feeding of Al-Miskîn (the poor), 121 مِاللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِالرَّحِيمِ 1 أَرَءَيْتَ الَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِالدِینِ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِى يَدُغُ الْبَنِيِمَ وَلَا يَحُسُّ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ r they reached valley Muhassir. While the army was marching towards Makkah, in the middle of the valley, suddenly it was overtaken by flocks of birds, flocks after flocks, air-raiding that army with small stones slightly bigger than a lentil seed. There never fell a stone on a soldier except it dissolved his flesh and burst it into pieces. So they perished with a total destruction. Abrahah Al-Ashram fled away while his flesh was bursting into pieces till he died on the way (back to Yemen). Such was the victory bestowed by Allâh, (the All-Majestic, All-Powerful) to the people of Makkah and such was the protection provided by Him for His House (Ka'bah in Makkah). (See Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Sûrah Al-Fil). [1] (V.107:2) Narrated Sahi bin Sa'd رضى الله عنهما :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this," putting his index and middle fingers together. (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.8, Hadith No.34).

He replied, 'This is the Kauthar.' " (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Hadith No. 488).

Then Abu Lahab went away. So [Surat Al-Masad] 'Perish the hands of Abu Lahab!' was revealed. (V.111:1). (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, Hadith No. 495). * "Yâ Sabahâh!" is an Arabic expression used when one appeals for help or draws the attention of others to some danger. [1] (V.111:4) 'And his wife too, who carries wood.' Mujahid said, 'Carries the wood' means that she used to slander (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) and goes about with calumnies. [2] (V.111:5) "In her neck is a twisted rope of palm fibre, [i.e. the chain which is in the Fire (of Hell)]." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.6, Chapter 356, Page 469). [Imâm Qurtubî says in the Tafsir of the (V.17:45)]: Narrated Sa'îd bin Jubair de algo, : "When Surah No. 111 Al-Masad was revealed, the wife of Abu Lahab came looking out for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم while Abu Bakr رضى الله عنه was sitting beside him. Abu Bakr said to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم :'I wish if you get aside (or go away) as she is coming, to us, she may harm you'. The Prophet said: 'There will be a screen set between me and her'. So she did not see him صلى الله عليه وسلم .She said to Abu Bakr: 'Your companion is saying poetry against me.' Abu Bakr said: 'By Allah he does not say poetry.' She said: 'Do you believe that'. Then she left. Abu Bakr said, 'O Allah's Messenger! She did not see you'. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: 'An angel was screening me from her.'" [ This Hadith is quoted in Masnad Abû ya'la] It is said that if the Verse [(17:45) The Qur'an] is recited by a real believer (of Islamic Monotheism) he will be screened from a disbeliever.

I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Not to punish them (if they did so)." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Hadith No. 470]. B) Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri رضى الله عنه: A man heard another man reciting: 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allâh, (the) One." (112:1) And he recited it repeatedly. When it was morning, he went to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and informed him about that as if he considered that the recitation of that Surah by itself was not enough. Allah's Messenger said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, it is equal to one-third of the صلى اللّه عليه وسلم Qur'ân." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Hadith No. 471]. C) Narrated 'Aishah رضى الله عنها :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sent (an army unit) under the command of a man who used to lead his companions in the prayers and would finish his recitation with (the Sûrah 112): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allâh, (the) One." (112:1). When they returned (from the battle), they mentioned that to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم . He said (to them), "Ask him why he does so." They asked him and he said, "I do so because it mentions the Qualities of the Most Gracious and I love to recite it (in my prayer)." The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said (to them).
