314 THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maja related the latter part of this, from a hadith of al-Thawri, from 'Abd al-Rahmzn b. al-Harith. Al-Tirrnidhi stated, "This is a hadith hasan,6' a 'good hadith'." Ibn Hibbzn related it in his jahih collection, as did d-Hakim in his al-Mustadrak (The Compendsum) from a hadith of 'Abd al-Ralpan. Al-Haim stated, "This is authentic according to the criteria of Muslim, but he did not narrate this tradition." Abii Da'ad, al-Nasali, Ibn Hibban and d-Hikim related, on various lines from Daliid b. Aba Hind, from Clkrima, from Ihn
IMAM ABO AL-FIDA' ISMAG. IBN KATH~R 315 at one time and not separately, with some having come later, as would be necessary if some had cancelled others. Then there is the hadith in both sahib collections relating to 'Ali, God be pleased with him. This tells how, regarding Hamza's having cut off the two humps of his two old mare camels, and of his stating that one of these was part of the fifth part set aside at Badr. His statement directly contradicts Aba 'CTbayd's contention that the spoils at Badr were not divided into five parts. God knows best; but they were divided into five according to the accounts of al-Bukhai, Ihn Jarir and others; this is the correct and preferable view. But God knows best. DIVISION The return of the Messenger of God (SAAS) from Badr to Medina and the events on that journey by which his Lord gave him help and assistance. It has previously been stated that the engagement took place on Friday, the 17th of Ramadan, 2 AH. It is established in both sahih collections that following an engagement against an enemy, the Messenger of God (SAAS) would thereafter spend three days in an open area. His normal period of three days so spent at Badr, however, ended, as related above, after two days when he mounted his camel and stood above the pit at Badr, berating those dead polytheists who had been dragged there. Thereafter he departed, taking with him the prisoners and the great quantity of booty. He had sent on ahead two heralds to Medina to announce the victory over those who had associated others with God and denied and disbelieved in Him. One of these heralds was 'Abd Allzh b. Rawaha, whom he sent to the upper parts of Medina. The other, Zayd b. Haitha, he sent to the city's lower parts. Usama b. Zayd stated, "The news reached us when we had finished levelling the earth over Ruqayya, daughter of the Messenger of God (SAAS). Her husband, 'Uthmxn b. 'Affzn, God bless him, had remained behind to nurse her at the orders of the Messenger of God (SAAS) who had assigned to him a share in the spoils of Badr." Usama stated further, "When my father, Zayd b. Haritha, arrived, I went to him and found him standing at the prayer shrine, swamped by people. He was saying, 'Wtba b. Rahi'a has been killed, as also had been Ahn Jahl b. Hisham, Zam'a b. al-Aswad, Aba al-Bakhtari al-'As h. Hisham, Umayya b. Khalaf and Nubayh and Munahbih, the two sons of al-Hajjaj.' I asked him 'Father, is this true?' He replied, 'Son, I swear it is so."' Al-Bayhaqi stated, citing a line of authorities through Hammad b. Salama, from Hisham b. Wrwa, from his father, from Uszma h. Zayd, that the Prophet (SAAS) had left Wthmzn and Usama b. Zayd to look after his daughter. Then Zayd b. Haitha arrived, mounted on al-'Aab~', the camel of the Messenger of God (SAAS), with the good news. Usba said, "I heard the tumult and so went outside. There I found Zayd who had brought the good news. But, I swear, I
