359. Rafi' ibn Khudayj na Sahl ibn Abi Hathama walisimulia kwamba 'Abdullah ibn Sahl na Muhayyisa ibn Mas'ud walikuja Khaybar, kisha wakatengana walipokuwa kati ya mitende. 'Abdullah ibn Sahl aliuawa. 'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Sahl, Huwayyisa na Muhayyisa, wana wa Mas'ud, walimwendea Mtume ﷺ na kuzungumza naye kuhusu mwenzao (aliyeuawa). 'Abdu'r-Rahman, aliyekuwa mdogo zaidi miongoni mwa waliokuwepo, alianza kusema, lakini Mtume ﷺ alisema, "Aliye mkubwa zaidi aseme kwanza." (au "Mheshimu aliye mkubwa zaidi.") Wakazungumza kuhusu mwenzao, na Mtume ﷺ akauliza, "Je, watu hamsini miongoni mwenu watapiga kiapo kwamba mnastahili diyya ya mtu wenu aliyeuawa?" Wakajibu, "Ee Mjumbe wa Allah, hili ni jambo ambalo hatukuliona." Akasema, "Basi je, Wayahudi wataondoa lawama yao kwa viapo vya watu hamsini miongoni mwao?" Wakapinga, "Ee Mjumbe wa Allah, wao ni makafiri!" Basi Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ mwenyewe akalipa diyya yake.
359. Rafi' ibn Khudayj and Sahl ibn Abi Hathama reported that 'Abdullah ibn Sahl and Muhayyisa ibn Mas'ud came to Khaybar and parted when they were among the palm trees. 'Abdullah ibn Sahl was murdered. 'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Sahl and Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa, the sons of Mas'ud came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and spoke to him about their (murdered) companion. 'Abdu'r-Rahman, the youngest of those present, began to speak, but the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Let the oldest speak first." (or "Exalt the eldest.") They spoke about their companion and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked, "Will fifty of you take an oath that you are entitled to the blood-money of your murdered man?" They replied, "Messenger of Allah, this is something which we did not see." He said, "Then will the Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them?" They protested, "Messenger of Allah, they are unbelievers!" So the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, himself paid his blood money."
166. Je, pale mzee anapokaa kimya, mdogo kabisa anaweza kuzungumza hapo?
166. When an older person does not speak, can the youngest speak then?
360. Ibn 'Umar alisema, "Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema, 'Niambieni ni mti gani unaofanana na Muislamu? Hutoa matunda wakati wote kwa idhini ya Mola wake, na majani yake hayaanguki.' Ikanijia akilini kuwa ni mtende, lakini sikutaka kusema kwa sababu Abu Bakr na 'Umar, Allah awaridhie wote wawili, walikuwepo. Walipokaa kimya, Mtume ﷺ alisema, 'Ni mtende.' Nilipotoka pamoja na baba yangu, nilisema, 'Baba, nilidhani kuwa ni mtende.' Akauliza, 'Ni nini kilichokuzuia kusema hivyo? Lau ungesema, ningependa hilo kuliko kadhaa kadhaa.' Nikasema, 'Kilichonizuia kufanya hivyo ni kwamba sikukuona wewe wala Abu Bakr mkisema, kwa hiyo sikupenda kusema waziwazi.'"
360. Ibn 'Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Tell me which tree is like the Muslim? It gives fruits at all times by the permission of its Lord and its leaves do not fall.' It occurred to me that it was the palm tree, but I did not want to speak as Abu Bakr and 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, were both present. When they did not speak, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'It is the palm tree.' When I left with my father, I said, 'Father, I thought that it was the palm,.' He asked, 'What kept you from saying that? If you had said so, I would have preferred that to such-and-such.' I said, 'What kept me from doing so was that I did not see you or Abu Bakr speak, so I did not like to speak out.'"
167. Kuwafanya viongozi wa zamani
167. Making the old leaders
361. Hakim ibn Qays ibn 'Asim ameripoti kwamba baba yake alipokuwa akifa aliwausia wanawe: "Mcheni Allah na mfanyeni mkubwa zaidi kati yenu kuwa kiongozi wenu. Watu wanapomfanya mkubwa kati yao kuwa kiongozi wao, hufuata nyayo za baba zao. Wanapomfanya mdogo kati yao kuwa kiongozi wao, hiyo huwashusha machoni mwa wenzao. Lazima mwe na mali na kuitumia vizuri. Ni chanzo cha msukumo kwa wakarimu, na itawafanya kutokuwa tegemezi kwa wakosoaji. Jihadharini kuomba watu. Ni chanzo cha mwisho cha riziki ya mtu. Nikifa, msilie kwa sauti. Hakukuwa na kilio kwa Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ. Nikifa, nizikeni katika ardhi ambayo Bakr ibn Wa'il hatajua mahali nilipo. Nilikuwa nikiwavizia watu barabarani wakati wa Jahiliyya."
361. Hakim ibn Qays ibn 'Asim reported that then his father was dying. he enjoined his sons: "Fear Allah and make the oldest among you your leaders. When people make the oldest among them their leaders, they follow their fathers. When they make the youngest among them their leaders, that lowers them in the sight of their peers. You must have wealth and use it well. It is an impetus for the generous and it will make you independent of critics. Beware of asking people. It is a man's last source of earning. When I die, do not wail. There was no wailing for the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When I die, bury me in land where the Bakr ibn Wa'il will not know where I am died. I used to waylay on the roads in the time of the Jahiliyya."
