Indeed, God has ordained good deeds over all things, so when you kill, kill well, and when you slaughter, slaughter well, and let one of you His blade, and let his sacrifice be comforted
إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْذِبْحَةَ وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ وَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ

And when those who disbelieved plotted against you to defeat you, or kill you, or expel you, and they plotted and God plotted, and God is the best of planners.
وإذ يمكر بك الذين كفروا ليثبتوك أو يقتلوك أو يخرجوك ويمكرون ويمكر الله والله خير الماكرين
القرآن الكريم · سورة الأنفال
▶ Summary of the Prophet’s biography | Episode (92) | Quraysh meeting at Dar al-Nadwah
Interpretation of the words: And remember, O Muhammad, My favor with you due to my deceit of the polytheists of your people who tried to deceive you by defeating you or killing you or expelling you from your homeland until I saved you from them and destroyed them, so let My command go astray in the war against whoever of the polytheists fights you and turn away from responding to what I sent you with of the upright religion. And do not be intimidated by their large number, for your Lord is the best of planners with those who disbelieve in Him and worship others and disobey His commands and prohibitions.
فتأويل الكلام واذكر يا محمد نعمتي عندك بمكري بمن حاول المكر بك من مشرك قومك بإثباتك أو قتلك أو إخراجك من وطنك حتى استنقذتك منهم وأهلكتهم فامضل أمري في حرب من حاربك من المشركين وتولى عن إجابة ما أرسلتك به من الدين القيم ولا يرعبنك كثرة عددهم فإن ربك خير الماكرين بمن كفر به وعبد غيره وخالف أمره ونهيه

▶ Summary of the Prophet’s biography | Episode (92) | Quraysh meeting at Dar al-Nadwah
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was sent for forty years, and he stayed in Mecca for thirteen years, receiving inspiration. Then he was ordered to emigrate, so he emigrated for ten years and died when he was sixty-three years old.
بُعِث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لأربعين سنة فمكث بمكة ثلاث عشرة سنة يوحى إليه ثم أمر بالهجرة فهاجر عشر سنين ومات وهو ابن ثلاث وستين
ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما · رواه البخاري
▶ Summary of the Prophet’s biography | Episode (92) | Quraysh meeting at Dar al-Nadwah
They agreed that he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, resided in Medina after the Hijra for ten years and in Mecca for forty years before the Prophethood. Rather, the disagreement is regarding the amount of his stay in Mecca after the Prophethood. The correct view is that it is thirteen, so his age is sixty-three. This what we mentioned, that he was sent at the beginning of forty years, is the well-known correct view that the scholars have agreed upon.
اتفقوا أنه صلى الله عليه وسلم أقام بالمدينة بعد الهجرة عشر سنين وبمكة قبل النبوة أربعين سنة وإنما الخلاف في قدر إقامته بمكة بعد النبوة والصحيح أنها ثلاث عشرة فيكون عمره ثلاثا وستين وهذا الذي ذكرناه أنه بُعِث على رأس أربعين سنة هو الصواب المشهور الذي أطبق عليه العلماء

▶ Summary of the Prophet’s biography | Musa bin Rashid Al-Azmi | H (78) | It is most likely that the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, did not see his Lord on the night of the Ascension
The predecessors and successors disagreed about whether this happened to the master of the sons of Adam, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him. The majority say that he, Glory be to Him, did not see him. Uthmal Ibn Saeed Al-Darimi narrated it according to consensus among the Companions. So whoever claims that visual sight reveals the divine truth, he is delusional and mistaken. And if he says, “It is only the revelation of heart sight, such that God Almighty becomes as if He were visible to the servant, just as the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, ‘Worship God as if you see Him.’ This is the truth, and it is the power of certainty and only more knowledge. Yes, a great light may appear to him.” So he imagines that this is the light of truth and that it has been revealed to him, and that is also a mistake, for the light of the Almighty Lord cannot be supported by anything, and when the slightest thing of it appears to the mountain, the mountain becomes hot and crushes you.

▶ Summary of the Prophet’s biography | Musa bin Rashid Al-Azmi | H (78) | It is most likely that the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, did not see his Lord on the night of the Ascension
We have not received a clear text that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, saw God Almighty with his own eyes, and this issue is something that a Muslim woman in his religion can afford to remain silent about. As for the dream, it came from multiple and extensive aspects, and as for seeing God with his own eyes in the afterlife, it is a certain matter that has been repeated in the texts.
ولم يأتنا نص جلي بأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى الله تعالى بعينيه وهذه المسألة مما يسع المرأة المسلم في دينه السكوت عنها فأما المنام فجاءت من وجوه متعددة مستفيضة وأما رؤية الله عيانا في الآخرة فأمر متيقن تواترت به النصوص

Then he walked up until I reached a level where I could hear the screeching of pens So God revealed to me what he revealed He imposed on me fifty prayers every day and night So it came down to Moses, peace be upon him, and he said What your Lord has imposed on your nation I said fifty prayers He said, “Go back to your Lord and ask Him for relief.” Your nation cannot tolerate that For I have tested the children of Israel and tested them The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said So I returned to my Lord and said: Oh my Lord, make it easy for my nation So he dropped five for me So I went back to Moses and said Give me five He said Your nation cannot stand that So return to your Lord and ask Him for relief The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said I still return to my Lord, Blessed and Most High And Moses, peace be upon him He even said Oh Muhammad They are five prayers every day and night For every prayer, ten That is fifty prayers And whoever intends to do a good deed does not do it I wrote him a good deed If she did her work, she would write him a tenth And those who intend evil deeds do not do them You didn't write anything For her deeds, she recorded only one bad deed The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said So I descended until I reached Moses, peace be upon him So I told him And he said Return to your Lord and ask Him for relief The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said I have returned to my Lord until I am ashamed of Him
ثم عرج بي حتى ظهرت لمستوى أسمع فيه صريف الأقلام فأوحى الله إلي ما أوحى ففرض علي خمسين صلاة في كل يوم وليلة فنزلت إلى موسى عليه السلام فقال ما فرض ربك على أمتك قلت خمسين صلاة قال ارجع إلى ربك فاسأله التخفيف فإن أمتك لا يطيقون ذلك فإني قد بلوت بني إسرائيل وخبرتهم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فرجعت إلى ربي فقلت يا ربي خفف على أمتي فحط عني خمسة فرجعت إلى موسى فقلت حط عني خمسة قال إن أمتك لا يطيقون ذلك فرجع إلى ربك فاسأله التخفيف قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلم أزل أرجع بين ربي تبارك وتعالى وبين موسى عليه السلام حتى قال يا محمد إنهن خمس صلوات كل يوم وليلة لكل صلات عشر فذلك خمسون صلاة ومن هم بحسنة فلم يعملها كتبت له حسنة فإن عملها كتبت له عشر ومن هم بسيئات فلم يعملها لم تكتب شيئة فإن عملها كتبت سيئاتا واحدة قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فنزلت حتى انتهيت إلى موسى عليه السلام فأخبرته فقال ارجع إلى ربك فاسأله التخفيف فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد رجعت إلى ربي حتى استحييت منه
