Sahih al-Bukhari Merits of the Helpers in Madinah (Ansaar) Qais bin Ubad Sahih While I was sitting in the Mosque of Medina, there entered a man (Abdullah bin Salam) with signs of solemnity over his face. The people said, “He is one of the people of Paradise.” He prayed two light rak`at and then left. I followed him and said, “When you entered the Mosque, the people said, ‘He is one of the people of Paradise.’ ” He said, “By Allah, one ought not say what he does not know; and I will tell you why. In the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) I had a dream which I narrated to him. I saw as if I were in a garden.” He then described its extension and greenery. He added: In its center there was an iron pillar whose lower end was fixed in the earth and the upper end was in the sky, and at its upper end there was a (ring-shaped) hand-hold. I was told to climb it. I said, “I can’t.” “Then a servant came to me and lifted my clothes from behind and I climbed till I reached the top (of the pillar). Then I got hold of the hand-hold, and I was told to hold it tightly, then I woke up and (the effect of) the handhold was in my hand. I narrated al I that to the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, ‘The garden is Islam, and the handhold is the Most Truth-worthy Hand-Hold. So you will remain as a Muslim till you die.” The narrator added: “The man was `Abdullah bin Salam.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3650/ Sahih al-Bukhari Merits of the Helpers in Madinah (Ansaar) Qais bin Ubad Sahih Abu Bakr went to a lady from the Ahmas tribe called Zainab bint Al-Muhajir and found that she refused to speak. He asked, “Why does she not speak.” The people said, “She has intended to perform Hajj without speaking.” He said to her, “Speak, for it is illegal not to speak, as it is an action of the pre-islamic period of ignorance. So she spoke and said, “Who are you?” He said, “A man from the Emigrants.” She asked, “Which Emigrants?” He replied, “From Quraish.” She asked, “From what branch of Quraish are you?” He said, “You ask too many questions; I am Abu Bakr.” She said, “How long shall we enjoy this good order (i.e. Islamic religion) which Allah has brought after the period of ignorance?” He said, “You will enjoy it as long as your Imams keep on abiding by its rules and regulations.” She asked, “What are the Imams?” He said, “Were there not heads and chiefs of your nation who used to order the people and they used to obey them?” She said, “Yes.” He said, “So they (i.e. the Imams) are those whom I meant.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3671/ Sahih al-Bukhari Merits of the Helpers in Madinah (Ansaar) Qais bin Ubad Sahih I heard Sa`id bin Zaid bin `Amr bin Nufail saying in the mosque of Al-Kufa. “By Allah, I have seen myself tied and forced by `Umar to leave Islam before `Umar himself embraced Islam.

I proceeded with one-hundred and-fifty cavalry from Ahmas (tribe) who were horse riders. I used not to sit firm on horses, so the Prophet (ﷺ) stroke me over my chest till I saw the mark of his fingers over my chest, and then he said, ‘O Allah! Make him (i.e. Jarir) firm and one who guides others and is guided on the right path.” So Jarir proceeded to it dismantled and burnt it, and then sent a messenger to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).

I used not to sit firm over horses, so I informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of that, and he stroke my chest with his hand till I saw the marks of his hand over my chest and he said, O Allah! Make him firm and one who guides others and is guided (on the right path).’ Since then I have never fallen from a horse. Dhul-l–Khulasa was a house in Yemen belonging to the tribe of Khatham and Bajaila, and in it there were idols which were worshipped, and it was called Al-Ka`ba.” Jarir went there, burnt it with fire and dismantled it. When Jarir reached Yemen, there was a man who used to foretell and give good omens by casting arrows of divination. Someone said to him. “The messenger of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) is present here and if he should get hold of you, he would chop off your neck.” One day while he was using them (i.e. arrows of divination), Jarir stopped there and said to him, “Break them (i.e. the arrows) and testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, or else I will chop off your neck.” So the man broke those arrows and testified that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah. Then Jarir sent a man called Abu Artata from the tribe of Ahmas to the Prophet to convey the good news (of destroying Dhu-l-Khalasa). So when the messenger reached the Prophet, he said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I did not leave it till it was like a scabby camel.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) blessed the horses of Ahmas and their men five times. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-4167/ Sahih al-Bukhari Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh)) Qais bin Ubad Sahih Abu Dharr used to take an oath confirming that the Verse: ‘These two opponents (believers, and disbelievers) dispute with each other about their Lord.’ (22.19) was Revealed in connection with Hamza and his two companions and `Utbah and his two companions on the day when they ease out of the battle of Badr. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-4537/ Sahih al-Bukhari Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh)) Qais bin Ubad Sahih `Ali said, “I will be the first to kneel before the Beneficent on the Day of Resurrection because of the dispute.” Qais said; This Verse: ‘These two opponents (believers and disbelievers dispute with each other about their Lord,’ (22.19) was revealed in connection with those who came out for the Battle of Badr, i.e. `Ali, Hamza, ‘Ubaida, Shaiba bin Rabi`a, `Utba bin Rabi`a and Al-Walid bin `Utba. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-4538/ Sahih al-Bukhari Patients Qais bin Ubad Sahih We went to pay a visit to Khabbab (who was sick) and he had been branded (cauterized) at seven places in his body.
