Jami at-TirmidhiHadith Number 3345
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جُنْدَبٍ الْبَجَلِيِّ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي غَارٍ فَدَمِيَتْ أُصْبُعُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هَلْ أَنْتِ إِلاَّ إِصْبَعٌ دَمِيتِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَا لَقِيتِ " . قَالَ وَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ قَدْ وُدِّعَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : ( ما وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى ) . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ .
Jundab Al-Bajali Narrated from:
I Was With The Prophet In A Battle When Of His Finger Bled, So The Prophet Said: ‘Are You But A Finger That Bleeds – In The Cause Of Allah Is What You Have Met.’” He Said: “Jibril [Peace Be Upon Him] Was Delayed, So The Idolaters Said: ‘Muhammad Has Been Forsaken.’ So Allah, Blessed Is He And Most High Revealed: Your Lord Has Neither Forsaken You, Nor Hate You.”

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3345
This hadith about Your Lord has not forsaken you contains two connected moments. Jundab said he was with the Prophet when the Prophet’s finger bled. The Prophet spoke to the finger, saying it was only a finger that bled, and what it met was in the cause of Allah. Then the report mentions that Jibril was delayed, and the idolaters said Muhammad had been forsaken. Allah then revealed that his Lord had neither forsaken him nor hated him. The hadith gives comfort through the words of Surah Ad-Duha and shows that hurtful claims from enemies do not change Allah’s care.
What we learn from this hadith
- A small injury in Allah’s cause was met with patience and meaning.
- People may speak hurtful words, but Allah’s revelation gives the true answer.
- The Prophet was reassured that his Lord had not forsaken or hated him.
- Believers can learn calmness from the Prophet’s response to hardship.
