THE HADITH OF AL-HUMMARAH (ROBIN) A WELL-KNOWN BIRD

Abdur-Rahman Ibn Abdullah Ibn Mas‘ood narrated from his father: We were with the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) on a journey, and we passed by a tree with two young robin chicks and we captured them. The narrator added that the robin came to the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) while it was close to the ground and said, “Who has taken my chicks?” The narrator said, “We did.” The Prophet said, “Return them.” So we returned them to their place and the robin didn’t return.

Another Hadith 

Abu Hurairah narrated that We used to pray Isha’ with the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him). While in prayers he would prostrate, Al-Hasan and Al-Husain would pounce upon his back. When he would raise his head he would take them away and place them down gently. They would do the same again when the Prophet would prostrate. The Prophet used to separate them after the prayers and put them on his and left. Then I would come to him and say, “O Messenger of Allah, shall I not take them to their mother?” He would say, “No.” But when the lightning flashed then he said, “Take them to their mother.” And they continued to walk in the light until they entered the house.

Another Hadith

Muhammad Ibn Hamzah Ibn Amr Al-Aslami narrated from his father, “We were with the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) on a journey then we split up on a dark night. My fingers lit up until they gathered their backs upon it and none of them dispersed as my fingers were beaming with light.”

Another Hadith

Abu ‘Abs narrated that he would offer prayers with the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him), and then would return to Banu Harithah tribe. Once, he left on a dark rainy night and his stick lit up for him until he entered the dwelling of Banu Harithah tribe. Al-Baihaqi said: Abu ‘Abs is from those who fought in Badr.

I say: We have narrated from Yazeed Ibn Al-Aswad – and he was from the Tabi‘een – that he prayed in congregation in a mosque in Damascus from Jisreen, and maybe the toe of his foot showed light for him on a dark night. we mentioned earlier in the story of At-Tufail Ibn Amr’s embracement of Islam in Makkah before the Hijrah, and that he asked the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) for a sign that he could use to invite the people to Islam. When he went to them and descended from Ath-Thaniyyah a light shone between his eyes, so he said, “O Allah, may they not say that it is a defect.” So Allah moved the light to the end of his whip. Thereafter, they began to see it like a candle.
