I'm currently researching Shari\`a laws, and this query is related. ʿUbaydallāh bin Jaḥsh parted from Islam and adopted Christianity and died a natural death. Yet, under Shari\`a law, leaving Islam constitutes a capital offense. As an example _Reliance of the Traveller_ states: []] But then why wasn't ʿUbaydallāh bin Jaḥsh punished? Or why isn't Shari\`a law different because of the precedent set by this incident? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

The Qur'an permits Muslim men to marry up to four women. However, Prophet (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam) was given permission in the Qur'an to marry more than four women in Qur'an 33:50. There are many theories for why this permission was only given to Prophet (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam). One theory is that he was given this permission to make truce between Muslims and enemies of Muslims. **My main question is: is there any evidence from Hadith or Seerah that this theory holds any water?**

In the chain of narration (sanad), it is often written in English: 1. Some narrator in the authority of some other narrator 2. Some narrator informed some other narrator 3. Some narrator related before some other narrator I wish to understand the meaning of each of this statements. My questions are - 1) Do the said English phrases have the same meaning (maybe very little difference)? 2) If not, what is the implication of each? a. Especially 'Some narrator related before some other narrator' sounds a bit odd. What does 'related before' mean? b. What does 'in the authority of' mean? c. How did some narrator 'inform' some other narrator? Orally? By letter? Sent a messenger? Example: "Shams al-Din related before us; he said:" from Ibn Sa'ad. > The Shaykh, the Imam, the Hafiz, the most learned, the well versed in genealogies, Sharaf al-Din (the glory of religion) Abu Muhammad Abd al-Mumin Ibn Khalaf Ibn Abi al-Hasan al-Dimyati (may God show him mercy) informed us, and I was hearing; he said: The Shaykh, the Imam, the Muhaddith of Syria and the trusted Shams al-Din Abu al-Hajjaj Yusuf Ibn Khalil Ibn Abd Allah al-Dimashqi related before us; he said: Abu Muhammad Abd Allah Ibn Dahbal Ibn Ali Ibn Karah related before us; he said: Al-qadi Abu Bakr Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Baqi Ibn Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah al-Ansari related before us; he said: Abu Muhammad al-Hassan Ibn Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan Ibn Abd Allah al-Jawhari narrated on the authority of Abu Umar Muhammad Ibn al-Abbas Ibn Muhammad Ibn Zakariyya Ibn Yahya Ibn Mu'adh Ibn Hayyawayh al-Khazzaz (silk merchant), from (i.e. on the authority of) Abu al-Hasan Ahmad Ibn Ma'ruf Ibn Bishr Ibn Musa al-Khashshab (timber merchant); from (i.e. on the authority of) Abu Muhammad al-Harith Ibn Muhammad Ibn Abi Usamah al-Tamimi from (i.e. on the authority of) Abu `Adb Allah Muhammad Ibn Sa'd Ibn Muni (may God show him mercy); he (i.e. Ibn Sa'd) said: Also look at the English translation of the first paragraph of this page - https://www.bukhari.tv/sanad/ : > A reading on the authority of his sheikh, the knowledgeable and beloved Abd al-Qadir bin Ahmad al-Saqqaf, and he narrated it on the authority of his father, Imam Ahmad bin Abd al-Rahman al-Saqqaf, who narrated it.

My question is related to the following Hadith where a group of men were killed as a form of punishment because they killed innocent shepherd. The Hadith in question is this one:- Anas said, "Some people of Ukl or Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) early in the morning and he sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were put in 'Al-Harra' and when they asked for water, no water was given to them." Abu Qilaba said, ***"Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and fought against Allah and His Apostle*** ." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 233] According to [THIS SOURCE](https://islamcompass.com/eight-men-from-ukil-savagely-killed-a-shepherd-and-robbed-him/) and [THIS SOURCE](https://discover-the-truth.com/2015/04/08/eight-men-from-ukil-savagely-killed-a-shepherd-and-robbed-him/) , Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alaihi'wa'alahi'wa'ssallam 🧡 💛 💟 🌹 🎁 🎁 🌹 🌹) ordered that those men should be killed in such a manner because those men from Ukl or Uraina tribe brutally murdered the shepherd. Those men shoved spikes in the eyes of that shepherd and they also cut his legs and arms. Moreover, those men from Ukl or Uraina tribe also terrorized people, committed theft, and also raped women. However, the author has obtained this information from Seerah sources such as Tabaqat Al-Kubra, Jam'i At-Tabari, Kitab Al-Maghaz by Waqidi, and Seerah Ibn Hisham. ***My Main Question is this:-*** ***I need to know the authenticity of the account that states that those men from Ukl tribe or Uraina tribe pierced the eyes of the Shepherd or cut his hands and feet, as authentic Hadith in Sihah Sitta never mention that. The authentic version of Hadith mentions that those men committed theft, murder, and apostasy. However, how authentic are the reports that state that those men pierced thorns into the eyes of shepherd or they cut his hands and feet and cut his hands and feet?***

Salaam everyone, Why did Muhammad (s) make a surprise attack on Banu Mustaliq. In books of sirah, it says Banu Mustaliq were preparing to make an attack, but I don't trust books of sirah. Please can someone provide me a sahih/hasan hadith or a commentary on hadith (e.g. An-Nawawi, Ibn Hajar) on the reason behind the attack on Banu Mustaliq

He had intercourse with slave https://sunnah.com/nasai:3959 but did he marry any slave? Can you tell me names of his slave wives?

We know that apart from becoming husband of Khadija, Muhammad (PBUH) did job under her. What was the name of the position of that job? (I understand there was no recruitment advertisement or job description like today, but still there must be a name even if that is simply 'assistant'.) Reference required.

Martin lings in his work "the life of prophet" mentions an incident of first hijri. ***This is much before the revelation of Quran verse 3:61 for mubahala*** A "monk" who went by name Abu Amir comes to prophet and makes a claim that hes upon the religion of ibrahim. Prophet explains to him that the muslims are upon that religion. Abu Amir disagrees and prays "May Allah make the liar to die an lonely outcast life" The prophet says "so be it". Abu Amir dies far away from human habitations. It appears from the above incident that a prayer took place and the result is also seen. Can this incident qualify as mubahala since it covers the all necessary conditions of mubahala like. 1. Establishment of proof. 2. Sufficient effort to explain the position. 3. Proper wording of prayer.

When the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) became prophet, he did not actively fight the Meccans until he immigrated to Medina after three years. Afterwards, he had multiple wars with the Meccans (e.g. the Battle of Badr , the battle of Uhud and the Battle of the Trench ). Why did the Prophet wait three years to battle them, while during this time the Meccans were hostile to the Prophet and the Muslims and killed many of them during these three years?

> Anas (ra) relates that the Prophet (saw) said, “I was brought the Buraq, a tall white beast, bigger than a donkey, smaller than a mule. It could place his hooves at the farthest boundary of his gaze. I mounted it until I arrived at Bayt Al-Maqdis. ***I tied it at the ring where the Prophets tied it before*** (i.e. Buraq Wall or the Western Wall). I entered Masjid Al-Aqsa Sanctuary and prayed 2 rak’ah there…” (Muslim) A longer version is available at sunnah.com . Do we have evidences from hadith for information of travel of earlier prophets on buraq?

One of the oldest seerah books mentions the following incident This slave voluntarily abandoned his muharrib master. Is ransom to be paid in such cases? Why is it exempted, if it was exempted? ***Why doesnt it come under the ruling of a slave running away from his master***?

Other questions on this site site suggest buraq was left at aqsa after isra(journey by night on land) https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/40036/did-earlier-prophets-also-travel-on-buraq ***If the creature could fly to heavens, it could have flown to aqsa*** why did it do horizon jumps? In a report its mentioned the next step, the buraq would place was at horizon. So ultimately the question does the creature buraq fly? Some scholars said it didnt fly, can someone please post a link. Last I heard was Najdi phase Yasir qadhi used to tell that buraq didnt fly. Unable to find this too.

i wanted to ask "is there a hadith admonishing to not eat until being hungry?" and i have found this question in "similar questions" block. the answer to that question is enough for me. i wanted to quote a text in my question. since i prepared to write my question, translated the text, using google, i make a new question, though i am not very interested to know out answer to it. in book "kitab at-tarbiya" in tatar language, qayum nasiri writes: > TWENTY-FIRST UPBRINGING One of the kings of Gajam sent a skilled > doctor to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be > upon him). He lived in Arab countries for many years. No one came up > to him, saying, "Heal me." One day he came to the Prophet (peace and > blessings of Allaah be upon him) and complained. "I've been here for > days, and no one has paid attention to me," he said. The Prophet > (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The custom of this > people is that they will not eat anything until they want to eat it, > and they will start to refuse from food before they are full, that is, > they will not eat until they are satiated.” The doctor said, "If > that's the way to heal," then kissed the ground and left. Now, son, > has this story sufficed for your upbringing? Don't eat your stomach > full, you'll be in health, be satisfied with little. the russian version of it says this way: > It is known that one of the Persian kings once sent his best healer to > Arabia to serve the prophet. do you know what is source of this story? i read this book in paper form in past. now, i used https://nsportal.ru/shkola/rodnoy-yazyk-i-literatura/library/2020/02/02/k-nasyyri-trbiya-kitaby where is also russian translation of it.

I have been reading a few things regarding Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم marriage with a woman called Fatimah bint Dhahak. She was also called by other names such as Amrah bent e Yazid bin Kilab, Aliya bint E Zubyan, and Saba bint e Sufyan, etc. In the reports it has been mentioned that Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم diveroced her and Asma bint e Numan because they were suffering from leprosy. What is the authenticity of these reports? Please note that according to [THIS SOURCE](https://www.alsirah.com/%D8%B0%D9%83%D8%B1-%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AE-%D9%88%D9%81%D8%A7%D9%87-%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%AC-%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D9%87-%D8%B5-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%8A/) apparently one such report is reported to us through the following chain of narrators:- ***قال: وحدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر، عن موسى بن سعيد وابن ابى عون*** This chain of narrator could be found [HERE](http://www.shiaonlinelibrary.com/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A8/3473_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%A8-%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%B0%D9%8A%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B0%D9%8A%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%8A/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_104#top) in Tabri's Al-Muntakhab Min Dhayl Al-Mudhil. Here is a screenshot of chain of narrators:- ***So, what is the authenticity of the Isnad that I mentioned above?*** This is what I found about Asma bint Numan in Sirah Ibn Hisham:- **So, my question is: What is the authenticity of narration that says that Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم divorced BOTH Asma and Fatimah (Amarah) because they were suffering from leprosy?**

There is a narration (or text) in السيرة الحلبية in volume 3, page no.377 that states that Zainab bint Jahsh (Radhi'allahu'anha) was supposedly married to our Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alaihi''Wa'alahi'wassalam) without her consent. The narratuion also supposedly says that our Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alaihi'Wa'alahi'wassalam) also married other women without their consent. ***I would like to know what is the authenticity of this narration?*** Here is the screenshot below of the said narration:-

Assalamualaikum, I'm actually confused, I have found in Internet that prophet had 6 children (4 daughters and 2 sons),another place it say he had actually 7 children(4 daughters and 3 sons],which one is correct,or how many children he had?

I am trying to construct a timeline of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Specifically, the last time he was in *itikaf*. I am sure there are English sources out there, but my (very) quick search, I did not come across one. I used an online calculator and I found that it should be between December 20 631, and December 30. Can somebody confirm that?

What is the reference of the hadith in which is mentioned that: >The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) tied two stones on his belly while digging a trench during **Battle of the Trench**

The Prophet had sent the letter to Heraclius: >In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful. From Muhammad, the slave of Allah, and His Apostle, to Heraculius, the Ruler of the Byzantine. Peace be upon the followers of guidance. Now then, I invite you to Islam. Embrace Islam and you will be safe, embrace Islam and Allah will bestow on you a double reward. But if you reject this invitation of Islam, you shall be responsible for misguiding the tillers.
*‘O people of the Scriptures! Come to a word common to you and us and you, that we worship. None but Allah, and that we associate nothing in worship with Him; and that none of us shall take others as Lords besides Allah. Then if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are (they who have surrendered’*(3.64)
**[ [Sunnah Ref: Sahih al Bukhari 2940 ](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2940) ]** and my question is about the meaning of "Embrace Islam and you will be safe". I am not sure if the prophet is threatening him with invasion or he means that he will be safe from the punishment of the afterlife, for having died upon rejection of Islam. Or both. Currently I think the 2nd is more likely, because the Prophet did not mention the dhimmi option that would be available to the christian byzantines in the case of invasion. But then again, 9/29 was not revealed yet because this letter was sent during the period the treaty of hudaybiyah was active. And this would also mean Offensive Jihad was not yet legislated (I could be wrong about this, perhaps another command for offensive jihad was already declared) Even if that is correct, the Prophet could may have already known that the scope of warfare would expand to include all kuffar, so he pre emptively warned Heraclius about it. This is all just mere conjectures on my part, maybe a more solid answer is available from you guys.
