“Zādhān bin ‘Umar has narrated: I heard ‘Alī (AlahisSalam) in a
meeting ask people on oath: Who h as heard the Messenger
of Allāh (صلى-الله-عليه-و-آله-وسلم) say something on the day of Gadhīr Khum?
At this, thirteen men stood up an d they con firmed that
they had heard the Messenger of Allāh (صلى-الله-عليه-و-آله-وسلم) say this: One
who has me as his master has ‘Alī as h is master.
Ahmad bin Hambal narrated it in al-Musnad (1:84), and Fadā’ilus-sahābah (2:585 # 991); Ibn Abī ‘Āsim, as-Sunnah (p.604 #
1371); Tabarānī, al-Mu‘jam-ul-awsat (3:69 # 2131); Bayhaqī, asSunan-ul-kubrā (5:131); Abū Nu‘aym, Hilyat-ul-awliyā’ wa
tabaqāt-ul-asfiyā’ (5:26); Ibn Jawzī, Sifat-us-safwah (1:313);
Haythamī, Majma‘-uz-zawā’id (9:107); Hindī, Kanz-ul-‘ummāl (13:158 # 36487); and Shawkānī in Darr-us-sahābah (p.211).
Ibn Kathīr in al-Bidāyah wan-nihāyah (4:169) has copied the
tradition on the authority of Zādhān Abū ‘Umar and has put the
number of witnesses at twelve.
Ibn Kathīr has put the number of witnesses at thirteen in the
tradition narrated through Zādhān who narrated it on the authority
of Ibn ‘Umar in al-Bidāyah wan-nihāyah (5:462).
“It is related by ‘Abd-ur-Rahmān bin Abī Laylā that
‘Alī (AlahisSalam) addressed (the people) and said: I make the
person swear by Allāh an d Islam to come forward
who may have heard the Prophet (صلى-الله-عليه-و-آله-وسلم) say on the day of
Ghadīr Khum while holding my hand: O Muslims! Am I
not nearer than your lives? All of them said: Why not! O
Messenger of Allāh. He said: One who has me as his
master has ‘Alī as his master. O Allāh! Befriend him who
befriends him and be his enemy who is his (‘Alī’s) enemy,
assist him who assists him, help him who help s him and
disgrace him who (wishes to) disgrace him (‘Alī). At this,
more than thirteen persons stood up and bore witness and
those who concealed these facts turned blind or died of
leprosy.”
Related by Hindī in Kanz-ul-‘ummāl (13:131 # 36417).
Ibn Athīr narrated it in Asad-ul-ghābah (3:487) through Abū Ishāq who had said: Yazīd bin Wadī‘ah and ‘Abd-ur-Rahmān bin
Mudlij suffered because they concealed the facts.
Ibn ‘Asākir related it in Tārīkh Dimashq al-kabīr (45:158).
“Asbagh bin Nubātah has narrated that ‘Alī (AlahisSalam) made
people swear in an open plain and asked anyone who had
heard the Prophet (صلى-الله-عليه-و-آله-وسلم) say this to stand up. At this more

bin Wadī‘ ah al-Ansārī, Abū Fadālah al-An sārī an d ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin ‘Abd Rab al-Ansārī ((رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ)). All of them said:
We bear witness that we heard from the Messenger of
Allāh (): Beware! Allāh is my Guardian and I am
the guardian of the believers. I warn you! One who has me as his master has ‘Alī as his master. O Allāh! Befriend
him who befriends him (‘Alī) an d be his enemy who is his
(‘Alī’s) enemy, love him who loves him (‘Alī), bear
malice towards him who bears malice towards him and
help him who helps him (‘Alī).”

Quran and Modern Science ::VICTORIOUS ROMANS AND THE LOWEST SPOT ON THE EARTH
2- The Romans have been defeated.
3- In the lowest part of the earth. But after defeat they will
soon be victorious.
4- Between three or nine years. God’s is the imperative first
and last. On that day the believers will rejoice.
30-The Romans, 2-4
At the time of the descent of the Quran, the Romans were practicing
Christianity while the Persians were Zoroastrians. The Muslim population was grieved to hear that it was the Persians who had won the
war against the Romans since Christians were monotheists. The victory of the Zoroastrians against the believers baffled the Muslims. The
Quran predicted that the Romans (Byzantium) would soon become
victorious and that the believers would rejoice. The expression “beda
seneen” in verse 4 refers to the numbers ranging from three to nine.
The number of followers of Hazrat Muhammadصلى-الله-عليه-و-آله-وسلم continued to increase.
Had this statement of the Quran proved to be wrong, the confidence
of the followers in Hazrat Muhammadصلى-الله-عليه-و-آله-وسلم would have been shaken and the number of apostates would have grown. For a person not firmly convinced
that the Quran was the revelation of God, such a prediction would be
fatal for the system. If such a prediction were to prove false, it would
have lost more of its authority than it would have gained had it turned
out to be true. But it was God who revealed the Quran. So there was
no risk. Thus the confidence of the followers increased even more.SUCH DARING
Yes, self-confidence, daring and categorical prediction! This is either
a proof of wisdom or the foolhardiness of the ignorant. The result
indicates which was which. Those who doubt that this was not a revelation from God may conclude that it was guesswork, without considering the consequences that would put everything in danger.
Something difficult was being heralded. A nation that had lost its
cause was promised a triumph in a subsequent conflict.
Had this prediction turned out to be false, the believers might have
lost faith and given trump cards to the hands of the opponents of the
faithful. None of the accusations by unbelievers of Hazrat Muhammadصلى-الله-عليه-و-آله-وسلم attributing to him insanity, necromancy and opportunism- came to be
true as they failed to belie his words. The unbelievers were badly in
need of such accusations. It was certainly more difficult to attack the
Prophetصلى-الله-عليه-و-آله-وسلم and his followers with daggers drawn. If the people who
attributed partners to God were able to come forth with such evidence, they would prefer to use it rather than wage wars. So all the
predictions of the Quran came true and no objections could ever be
raised by the unbelievers.
Nevertheless, there have always been and will be people who turn
a blind eye and a deaf ear to the revelations of the Quran. This did not
prevent the Quran from eventually becoming the sovereign power of
the region under the domination of the Prophet during his lifetime.
FROM DESPAIR TO VICTORY
Students of Byzantine (Roman) history should know that the
Byzantine Empire suffered one of its gravest defeats in the 7th century at the time of the descent of the Quran. Although the Byzantines
solved their problems in the coming years, during that time period,
one of the main reasons for their serious downturn was the problem
that the Persians generated.
Historical sources approve the Quranic information. It was
thought that, since the Byzantines had suffered such a defeat, they
could no longer recover. Records speak of Heraclius’s collecting and
melting in a crucible all the gold and silver of the churches to meet
the expenses of the army. The Persians had already occupiedMesopotamia, Cilicia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Armenia, all places
that had once been under the domination of the Byzantines. In such
a time of despair, the Quran predicted that the Byzantines would triumph within three to nine years. Historical records add that because
of this statement the Prophet and his followers were held in derision,
as there was little hope of the realization of this prediction coming
true.
The Quran was to confirm this like all others. Byzantium won a
victory over the Persians somewhere near the ruins of Nineveh in 627
AD, about nine years after the revelation of the prophecy. The
Persians signed a treaty, according to which they turned over the territories they had occupied.
CHAPTER 28 ON THE CUP OF RASOOLULLAH SALLALLAHU ALAIHE WASALLAM
By cup it is meant that from which water is drunk, as is stated in the narrations.
(186) Hadith 1
Thaabit radiyallahu anhu relates that Anas radiyallahu anhu showed us a large wooden cup, which was lined with metal, and said, “O’ Thaabit, this is the cup of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam.”Commentary
It is said that this cup was sold from the estate of Sayyidina Nadr ibn Anas radiyallahu anhu for eight lakh Dirhams and Imaam Bukhari drank water from it in Basrah. Some say that, that was another cup.
back(187) Hadith 2
Anas radiyallahu anhu says, “I gave Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam to drink from this cup all those things which are drunk; Nabeedh, milk, etc.”Commentary
Nabeedh is a drink made by soaking dates, raisins, etc. in water until these things (become soft and) give off its effect. It is a tonic and gives strength. Dates, etc. were soaked for Sayyidina Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam at night and he drank it in the morning. It was also sometimes used the next day, provided it did not ferment and become intoxicating.
