Hadith 19

d me-saww that your-asws news is thanked for and your-asws doing is mentionable. Allah-azwj has been Pleased from you-asws, and I-saww am pleased from you-asws’. Ali-asws wept, so he-saww said to him-asws: ‘What makes you-asws cry, O Ali-asws? ’ He-asws said: ‘Happiness that Allah-azwj and His-saww Rasool-saww are both pleased from me-asws’. He-asws said: ‘And Ali-asws seized (people), and among the ones he-asws seize was Safiya Bint Huyay. He-asws called Bilal and handed her over to him and said to him: ‘Do not place her except in the hands of Rasool-Allah-saww until he-saww gives his-saww view regarding her’. So, Bilal brought her out and passed with her to Rasool-Allah-saww by the killed ones and her soul almost left. He-saww said: ‘Has the mercy been removed from you, O Bilal? ’ Then he-saww chose her for himself-saww, then freed her and married her’. He-asws said: ‘When Rasool-Allah-saww was free from Khyber, then tied a flag, then said: ‘Who will stand to it, so he will grab it with its right? ’, and he-saww intended to send him with it to the gardens of Fadak. Al-Zubeyr stood up to him-saww and said, ‘I will’. He-saww said: ‘(You are) not correct for it’. Then Sa’ad stood up to him, and he-saww said: ‘(You are) not correct for it’. Then he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Stand to it and take it’. He-asws took it, and he-saww sent him-asws with it to Fadak and reconciled with them upon that he-asws would save their blood, and the gardens of Fadak would be for Rasool-Allah-saww in particular, purely’. Jibraeel-as descended and said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majesty Commands you-saww that you-saww give to the one with kinship his right [17: 26]. ’ He-saww said: ‘O Jibraeel-as! Who are my-saww near relatives and what are their rights? ’ He-as said: (Syeda) ‘Fatima-asws, so give her-asws the gardens of Fadak, and whatever was for Allah-azwj and for His-azwj Rasool-saww in it’. Rasool-Allah-saww called (Syeda) Fatima-asws and wrote out a letter for her-asws. She-asws came with it to Abu Bakr after the passing away of her-asws father-saww and said: ‘This is a letter of Rasool-Allah-saww for me-asws and for my-asws two sons-asws’’. He-asws said: ‘And when Rasool-Allah-saww opened (conquered) Khyber, the giver of good news came of the arrival of Ja’far-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and his-asws companions from Ethiopia to Al-Medina. He-saww said: ‘I-saww do not know which of the two I-saww am more cheerful with, with the conquest of Khyber or with the arrival of Ja’far-asws’. And from Sufyan Al-Sowry, from Abu Al-Zubeyr, from Jabir who said, ‘When Ja’far-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws arrived from the land of Ethiopia, Rasool-Allah-saww met him-asws. When Ja’far-asws looked at Rasool-Allah-saww, hopped, meaning walked up to his-asws one leg in reverence to Rasool-Allah-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww kissed between his-asws eyes. And it is reported from Abu Ja’far-asws: ‘When Rasool-Allah-saww welcomed Ja’far-asws, hugged him-asws, then kissed between his-asws eyes. And Rasool-Allah-saww had already sent before his-saww journey to Khuber, Amro Bin Umaya Al-Zamry to Al-Najashy, the great one of Ethiopia, and invited him to. He became a Muslim, and had instructed Amro that he go with Ja’far-asws and his-asws companions, and Al-Najashy had equipped Ja’far-asws and his-asws companions with a good ship and ordered with the garments for them and they carried them in two ships’’.
