Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Muhammad Ibn 'ali Al-baqir (a.s) On the Prophet's Life Imam Abu Ja‘far (al-Baqir), peace be on him, reported many things about the affairs of the Prophet's life. The following are some of them: The Prophet borrowed Weapons from Safwan Al-Tabari reported on the authority of Imam Abu Ja‘far (al-Baqir), peace be on him, who said: “Allah's Apostle, may Allah bless him and his family, decided to advance against Hozan to fight with them.

He was told that Safwan b. Umayya, who was a polytheist then, had breast-plates and weapons. So, he sent for him. Then, he said to him: ‘O Abu Umayya, lend me these weapon of yours to meet my enemy with them tomorrow.’ Safwan asked: ‘Mohammed, do you want to take them by force?’ ‘Rather, a gratuitous loan,’ replied the Prophet. ‘There is no harm in this,’ said Safwan.

So, Safwan gave the Prophet a hundred breast-plates with equivalent weapons.”They (the narrators) claimed that Allah's Apostle, may Allah bless him and his family, asked Safwan to carry them for him. So, the latter did that. Imam Abu Ja‘far said: “One year passed. However, the loan was guaranteed.”[^1] The Imam concluded a jurisprudential rule from this. That is the loan should be guaranteed when it is misused.

So, whoever borrows a thing, he should guarantee the thing till he returns it to its owner. Khalid marched to Bani Judhayma Ibn Hisham reported on the authority of Imam Abu Ja‘far (al-Baqir), peace be on him, who said: “When Allah's Apostle, may Allah bless him and his family, conquered Mecca, he sent Khalid b. al-Walïd to bani (the sons of) Judhayma. He sent him to summon them to believe in Allah, not to fight with them. However, Khalid attacked them.

They were afraid of him, so they carried their weapons. When Khalid saw that, he said to them: ‘Lay down your weapons.’ The people trusted him, so they did that. However, Khalid betrayed them. He ordered them to be tied. Then, he killed some of them. When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family heard of that, he was full of sadness. Then, he raised his hands to supplicate, saying: “O Allah, I disown what Khalid has done!

“Then, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, summoned Imam ‘Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, peace be on him, and said to him: Go to those people. Solve their problem. Put under your feet the order of those who lived before Islam.’ Thus, ‘Ali went to them. He had money with him. He paid blood money.
