and the spittle, and the supplication is mentioned from another route from Muḥammad Ibn Ḥaaṭib, as reported
by Imaam Aḥmad and others with a “Ṣaḥeeḥ” chain.
[TN: Narrated Muḥammad Ibn Ḥaaṭib ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنه ‏:رضي “The content of the (cooking) pot spilled on my hand, so my
mother took me to the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ while he was at some place, and he said some words and from
which he said was: ❝Lord of the people, remove the disease and cure him, for You are the Great Curer. There is
no cure but through You, which leaves behind no disease.❞ [Musnad Aḥmad (15452, 18276, 18281). These
narrations are narrated with a “Ṣaḥeeḥ” chain.] There is still another route for this Ḥadeeth as reported in
Musnad Aḥmad (15454, 18277) but it is “Ḍha`eef” because in its chain is Shareek, who had a weak memory.]
[TN: Before ending this chapter, one important point needs to be clarified. It has already preceded that `Amr Ibn
al-`Aaṣ was one of the staunch enemies of Islaam, and he was one of the delegates sent by Quraish to Abyssinia,
in order to convince al-Najaashee to expel the Muslims and to hand them over to the Quraish. But all this was
before he embraced Islaam. After he became Muslim, the Prophet ﷺ affirmed that `Amr had become a sincere
Believer.
`Uqbah Ibn `Aamer رضي ‏ُاهلل ‏ُعنه narrated that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: ❝The people submitted while
`Amr Ibn al-`Aaṣ believed.❞ [Sunan al-Tirmidhee (3833) and graded as “Ḥasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee. See al-
Ṣaḥeeḥah (155)]
‏:تعاىل This is referring to the saying of Allaah
‏﴿قَالَتِ‏ ‏ُاّلٌّع رَاب ‏ُءَامَنَّاُق لُلَّ‏ ‏ُت ؤ مِن وا ‏ُوَلَكِنُق ول وا ‏ُأَس لَم نَاُوَلَمَّاُيَد خ لِ‏ ‏ُاّلْيَن ‏ُِفِ‏ ‏ُق ل وبِك ‏ُم ﴾
{The Bedouins say: “We believe.” Say (O Muḥammad to them): “You do not believe, but say: ‘We have
submitted,’ for Faith has not yet entered your hearts...”} {Surah al- Ḥujuraat (49): 14]
Ibn Katheer said in his Tafseer: “Allaah chastises the Bedouins who, when they embraced Islaam, claimed for
themselves the grade of faithful believers. However, Faith had not yet firmly entered their hearts.” –end of quote
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضيُاهللُعنه that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: ❝The two sons of al-`Aaṣ, Hishaam and
`Amr are believers.❞ [Musnad Aḥmad (8042, 8338, 8641, 8642), Mustadrak al-Ḥaakim (5053, 5905) and graded
as “Ḥasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in al-Ṣaḥeeḥah (156)]
Ibn Shumaasah reported: We visited `Amr Ibn al-`Aaṣ رضيُاهللُعنه when he was on his deathbed. He wept for a long
time and turned his face towards the wall. His son said: “O father, did not the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ give you
the good news of such and such? Did he ﷺ not give you glad tidings of such and such?” Then he (`Amr) turned
his face towards us and said: “The best thing which you can count upon is the affirmation that: Laa ilaaha illallaah
(there is no true god except Allaah), and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allaah. I have passed through three
phases. I remember when I hated none more than I hated the Messenger of Allaah ‏,(ﷺ)‏ and there was no other
desire stronger in me than that of killing him. Had I died in that state, I would have definitely been one of the
ﷺ dwellers of Fire (Hell). When Allaah instilled the love for Islaam in my heart, I went to Messenger of Allaah
and said: ‘Extend your right hand, so that I pledge allegiance to you.’ He ﷺ stretched out his right hand, but I
withdrew my hand. He said: ❝What is the matter, O `Amr?❞ I said: ‘I wish to lay down same conditions.’ He
ﷺ asked: ❝What conditions do you wish to put forward?❞ I replied: ‘To be granted forgiveness.’ He ﷺ
said: ❝Do you not know that (embracing) Islaam wipes out all that has gone before it (previous misdeeds).
Verily, emigration wipes out all the previous sins, and the Ḥajj (pilgrimage) wipes out all the previous sins.❞
Thereafter, no one was dearer to me than Messenger of Allaah ‏,ﷺ and none was more respectable than him in
