Abu Huraira
|
Allah's Apostle said, 'The prayer of a person who does ,Hadath (passes, urine, stool or wind) is not accepted till he performs (repeats) the ablution.' A person from Hadaramout asked Abu Huraira, 'What is 'Hadath'?' Abu Huraira replied, ' 'Hadath' means the passing of wind from the anus.' Narated By Nu'am Al-Mujmir Once I went up the roof of the mosque, along with Abu Huraira. He perform ablution and said, 'I heard the Prophet saying, 'On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called 'Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalun' from the trace of ablution and whoever can increase the area of his radiance should do so (i.e. by performing ablution regularly).'' Narated By 'Abbas bin Tamim My uncle asked Allah's Apostle about a person who imagined to have passed wind during the prayer. Allah' Apostle replied 'He should not leave his prayers unless he hears sound or smells something.' Narated By Kuraib Ibn 'Abbas said, 'The Prophet slept till he snored and then prayed (or probably lay till his breath sounds were heard and then got up and prayed).' Ibn 'Abbas added 'I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt, Maimuna, the Prophet slept for a part of the night, (See Fateh-al-Bari page 249, Vol. 1), and late in the night, he got up and performed ablution from a hanging water skin, a light (perfect) ablution and stood up for the prayer. I, too, performed a similar ablution, then I went and stood on his left. He drew me to his right and prayed as much as Allah wished, and again lay and slept till his breath sounds were heard. Later on the Mua'dhdhin (callmaker for the prayer) came to him and informed him that it was time for Prayer. The Prophet went with him for the prayer without performing a new ablution.' (Sufyan said to 'Amr that some people said, 'The eyes of Allah's Apostle sleep but his heart does not sleep.' 'Amr replied, 'I heard 'Ubaid bin 'Umar saying that the dreams of Prophets were Divine Inspiration, and then he recited the verse 'I (Abraham) see in a dream, (O my son) that I offer you in sacrifice (to Allah).' (37.102) Narated By Usama bin Zaid Allah's Apostle proceeded from 'Arafat till when he reached the mountain pass, he dismounted, urinated and then performed ablution but not a perfect one. I said to him, ('Is it the time for) the prayer, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, 'The (place of) prayer is ahead of you.' He rode till when he reached Al-Muzdalifa, he dismounted and performed ablution and a perfect one, The (call for) Iqama was pronounced and he led the Maghrib prayer. Then everybody made his camel kneel down at its place. Then the Iqama was pronounced for the 'Isha' prayer which the Prophet led and no prayer was offered in between the two . prayers ('Isha' and Maghrib). Narated By 'Ata' bin Yasar Ibn 'Abbas performed ablution and washed his face (in the following way) He ladled out a handful of water, rinsed his mouth and washed his nose with it by putting in water and then blowing it out. He then, took another handful (of water) and did like this (gesturing) joining both hands, and washed his face, took another handful of water and washed his right forearm. He again took another handful of water and washed his left forearm, and passed wet hands over his head and took another handful of water and poured it over his right foot (up to his ankles) and washed it thoroughly and similarly took another handful of water and washed thoroughly his left foot (up to the ankles) and said, 'I saw Allah's Apostle performing ablution in this way.' Narated By Ibn 'Abbas The Prophet said, 'If anyone of you on having sexual relations with his wife said (and he must say it before starting) 'In the name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan and also protect what you bestow upon us (i.e. the coming offspring) from Satan, and if it is destined that they should have a child then, Satan will never be able to harm that offspring.' Narated By Anas Whenever the Prophet went to answer the call of nature, he used to say, 'Allah-umma inni a'udhu bika minal khubuthi wal khaba'ith i.e. O Allah, I seek Refuge with You from all offensive and wicked things (evil deeds and evil spirits).' Narated By Ibn 'Abbas Once the Prophet entered a lavatory and I placed water for his ablution. He asked, 'Who placed it?' He was informed accordingly and so he said, 'O Allah! Make him (Ibn 'Abbas) a learned scholar in religion (Islam).' Narated By Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari Allah's Apostle said, 'If anyone of you goes to an open space for answering the call of nature he should neither face nor turn his back towards the Qibla; he should either face the east or the west.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar People say, 'Whenever you sit for answering the call of nature, you should not face the Qibla or Bait-ulMaqdis (Jerusalem).' I told them. 'Once I went up the roof of our house and I saw Allah's Apostle answering the call of nature while sitting on two bricks facing Bait-ul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) (but there was a screen covering him. ' (FatehAlBari, Page 258, Vol. 1). Narated By 'Aisha The wives of the Prophet used to go to Al-Manasi, a vast open place (near Baqia at Medina) to answer the call of nature at night. 'Umar used to say to the Prophet 'Let your wives be veiled,' but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda bint Zam'a the wife of the Prophet went out at 'Isha' time and she was a tall lady. 'Umar addressed her and said, 'I have recognized you, O Sauda.' He said so, as he desired eagerly that the verses of Al-Hijab (the observing of veils by the Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of 'Al-Hijab' (A complete body cover excluding the eyes). Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet said to his wives, 'You are allowed to go out to answer the call of nature.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar I went up to the roof of Hafsa's house for some job and I saw Allah's Apostle answering the call of nature facing Sham (Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon regarded as one country) with his back towards the Qibla. . Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar Once I went up the roof of our house and saw Allah's Apostle answering the call of nature while sitting over two bricks facing Bait-ul-Maqdis (Jerusalem). . Narated By Anas bin Malik Whenever Allah's Apostle went to answer the call of nature, I along with another boy used to accompany him with a tumbler full of water. (Hisham commented, 'So that he might wash his private parts with it.)' Narated By Anas Whenever Allah's Apostle went to answer the call of nature, I along with another boy from us used to go behind him with a tumbler full of water. Narated By Anas bin Malik Whenever Allah's Apostle went to answer the call of nature, I along with another boy used to carry a tumbler full of water (for cleaning the private parts) and an 'Anza (spear-headed stuck). Narated By Abu Qatada Allah's Apostle said, 'Whenever anyone of you drinks water, he should not breathe in the drinking utensil, and whenever anyone of you goes to a lavatory, he should neither touch his penis nor clean his private parts with his right hand.' Narated By Abu Qatada The Prophet said, 'Whenever anyone of you makes water he should not hold his penis or clean his private parts with his right hand. (And while drinking) one should not breathe in the drinking utensil.' Narated By Abu Huraira I followed the Prophet while he was going out to answer the call of nature. He used not to look this way or that. So, when I approached near him he said to me, 'Fetch for me some stones for 'cleaning the private parts (or said something similar), and do not bring a bone or a piece of dung.' So I brought the stones in the corner of my garment and placed them by his side and I then went away from him. When he finished (from answering the call of nature) he used, them. Narated By 'Abdullah The Prophet went out to answer the call of nature and asked me to bring three stones. I found two stones and searched for the third but could not find it. So took a dried piece of dung and brought it to him. He took the two stones and threw away the dung and said, 'This is a filthy thing.' Narated By Ibn 'Abbas The Prophet performed ablution by washing the body parts only once. Narated By 'Abdullah bin Zaid The Prophet performed ablution by washing the body parts twice. Narated By Humran (The slave of 'Uthman) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking for a tumbler of water (and when it was brought) he poured water over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. then he washed his face and forearrlns up to the elbows thrice, passed his wet hands over his head and washed his feet up to the ankles thrice. Then he said, 'Allah's Apostle said 'If anyone Performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak'at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.' ' After performing the ablution 'Uthman said, 'I am going to tell you a Hadith which I would not have told you, had I not been compelled by a certain Holy Verse (the sub narrator 'Urwa said This verse is 'Verily, those who conceal the clear signs and the guidance which we have sent down…)' (2 159). I heard the Prophet saying, 'If a man performs ablution perfectly and then offers the compulsory congregational prayer, Allah will forgive his sins committed between that (prayer) and the (next) prayer till he offers it. Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Whoever performs ablution should clean his nose with water by putting the water in it and then blowing it out, and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do it with odd number of stones.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'If anyone of you performs ablution he should put water in his nose and then blow it out and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do so with odd numbers. And whoever wakes up from his sleep should wash his hands before putting them in the water for ablution, because nobody knows where his hands were during sleep.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Amr The Prophet remained behind us on a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for the 'Asr prayer which was over-due and we were just passing wet hands over our feet (not washing them thoroughly) so he addressed us in a loud voice saying twice orthriae, 'Save your heels from the fire.' Narated By Humran (The freed slave of 'Uthman bin 'Affan) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking (for a tumbler of water) to perform ablution (and when it was brought) he poured water from it over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. Then he washed his face thrice and (then) forearms up to the elbows thrice, then passed his wet hands over his head and then washed each foot thrice. After that 'Uthman said, 'I saw the Prophet performing ablution like this of mine, and he said, 'If anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak'at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.' Narated By Muhammad Ibn Ziyad I heard Abu Huraira saying as he passed by us while the people were performing ablution from a utensil containing water, 'Perform ablution perfectly and thoroughly for Abul-Qasim (the Prophet) said, 'Save your heels from the Hell-fire.'' Narated By 'Ubaid Ibn Juraij I asked 'Abdullah bin 'Umar, 'O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman! I saw you doing four things which I never saw being done by anyone of you companions?' 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, 'What are those, O Ibn Juraij?' I said, 'I never saw you touching any corner of the Ka'ba except these (two) facing south (Yemen) and I saw you wearing shoes made of tanned leather and dyeing your hair with Hinna; (a kind of dye). I also noticed that whenever you were in Mecca, the people assume l,hram on seeing the new moon crescent (1st of Dhul-Hijja) while you did not assume the Ihlal (Ihram)… (Ihram is also called Ihlal which means 'Loud calling' because a Muhrim has to recite Talbiya aloud when assuming the state of Ihram)… till the 8th of Dhul-Hijja (Day of Tarwiya). 'Abdullah replied, 'Regarding the corners of Ka'ba, I never saw Allah's Apostle touching except those facing south (Yemen) and regarding the tanned leather shoes, no doubt I saw Allah's Apostle wearing non-hairy shoes and he used to perform ablution while wearing the shoes (i.e. wash his feet and then put on the shoes). So I love to wear similar shoes. And about the dyeing of hair with Hinna; no doubt I saw Allah's Apostle dyeing his hair with it and that is why I like to dye (my hair with it). Regarding Ihlal, I did not see Allah's Apostle assuming Ihlal till he set out for Hajj (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijja).' Narated By Um-'Atiya That the Prophet at the time of washing his deceased daughter had said to them, 'Start from the right side beginning with those parts which are washed in ablution.' Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet used to like to start from the right side on wearing shoes, combing his hair and cleaning or washing himself and on doing anything else. Narated By Anas bin Malik Saw Allah's Apostle when the 'Asr prayer was due and the people searched for water to perform ablution but they could not find it. Later on (a pot full of) water for ablution was brought to Allah's Apostle. He put his hand in that pot and ordered the people to perform ablution from it. I saw the water springing out from underneath his fingers till all of them performed the ablution (it was one of the miracles of the Prophet). Narated By Ibn Sirrn I said to 'Ablda, 'I have some of the hair of the Prophet which I got from Anas or from his family.' 'Abida replied. 'No doubt if I had a single hair of that it would have been dearer to me than the whole world and whatever is in it.' Narated By Anas When Allah's Apostle got his head shaved, Abu- Talha was the first to take some of his hair. Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'If a dog drinks from the utensil of anyone of you it is essential to wash it seven times.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'A man saw a dog eating mud from (the severity of) thirst. So, that man took a shoe (and filled it) with water and kept on pouring the water for the dog till it quenched its thirst. So Allah approved of his deed and made him to enter Paradise.' And narrated Hamza bin 'Abdullah My father said. 'During the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, the dogs used to urinate, and pass through the mosques (come and go), nevertheless they never used to sprinkle water on it (urine of the dog.)' Narated By 'Adi bin Hatim I asked the Prophet (about the hunting dogs) and he replied, 'If you let loose (with Allah's name) your tamed dog after a game and it hunts it, you may eat it, but if the dog eats of (that game) then do not eat it because the dog has hunted it for itself.' I further said, 'Sometimes I send my dog for hunting and find another dog with it. He said, 'Do not eat the game for you have mentioned Allah's name only on sending your dog and not the other dog.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'A person is considered in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer in the mosque as long as he does not do Hadath.' A non-Arab man asked, 'O Abii Huraira! What is Hadath?' I replied, 'It is the passing of wind (from the anus) (that is one of the types of Hadath).' Narated By 'Abbas bin Tamim My uncle said The Prophet said, 'One should not leave his prayer unless he hears sound or smells something.' Narated By 'Ali I used to get emotional urethral discharges frequently and felt shy to ask Allah's Apostle about it. So I requested Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad to ask (the Prophet) about it. AlMiqdad asked him and he replied, 'On has to perform ablution (after it).' Narated By Zaid bin Khalid I asked 'Uthman bin 'Affan about a person who engaged in intercourse but did no discharge. 'Uthman replied, 'He should perform ablution like the one for ar ordinary prayer but he must wash his penis.' 'Uthman added, 'I heard it from Allah's Apostle.' I asked 'Ali Az-Zubair, Talha and Ubai bin Ka'b about it and they, too, gave the same reply. (This order was cancelled later on and taking a bath became necessary for such cases). Narated By Abu Said Al-Khud Allah's Apostle sent for a Ansari man who came with water dropping from his head. The Prophet said, 'Perhaps we have forced you to hurry up, haven't we?' The Ansari replied, 'Yes.' Allah's Apostle further said, 'If you are forced to hurry up (during intercourse) or you do not discharge then ablution is due on you (This order was cancelled later on, i.e. one has to take a bath). Narated By Usama bin Zaid 'When Allah's Apostle departed from 'Arafat, he turned towards a mountain pass where he answered the call of nature. (After he had finished) I poured water and he performed ablution and then I said to him, 'O Allah's Apostle! Will you offer the prayer?' He replied, 'The Musalla (place of the prayer) is ahead of you (in Al-Muzdalifa).' Narated By Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba I was in the company of Allah's Apostle on one of the journeys and he went out to answer the call of nature (and after he finished) I poured water and he performed ablution; he washed his face, forearms and passed his wet hand over his head and over the two Khuff, (leather socks). Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas That he stayed overnight in the house of Maimuna the wife of the Prophet, his aunt. He added I lay on the bed (cushion transversally) while Allah's Apostle and his wife lay in the length-wise direction of the cushion. Allah's Apostle slept till the middle of the night, either a bit before or a bit after it and then woke up, rubbing the traces of sleep off his face with his hands. He then, recited the last ten verses of Sura Al-Imran, got up and went to a hanging water-skin. He then Performed the ablution from it and it was a perfect ablution, and then stood up to offer the prayer. I, too, got up and did as the Prophet had done. Then I went and stood by his side. He placed his right hand on my head and caught my right ear and twisted it. He prayed two Rakat then two Rakat and two Rakat and then two Rakat and then two Rakat and then two Rakat (separately six times), and finally one Rak'a (the Witr). Then he lay down again in the bed till the Mu'adhdhin came to him where upon the Prophet got up, offered a two light Rakat prayer and went out and led the Fajr prayer. Narated By Asma' bint Abu Bakr I came to 'Aisha the wife of the Prophet during the solar eclipse. The people were standing and offering the prayer and she was also praying. I asked her, 'What is wrong with the people?' She beckoned with her hand towards the sky and said, 'Subhan Allah.' I asked her, 'Is there a sign?' She pointed out, 'Yes.' So I, too, stood for the prayer till I fell unconscious and later on I poured water on my head. After the prayer, Allah's Apostle praised and glorified Allah and said, 'Just now I have seen something which I never saw before at this place of mine, including Paradise and Hell. I have been inspired (and have understood) that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Ad-Dajjal, or nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure of what Asma' said). Angels will come to every one of you and ask, 'What do you know about this man?' A believer will reply, 'He is Muhammad, Allah's Apostle , and he came to us with self-evident truth and guidance. So we accepted his teaching, believed and followed him.' Then the angels will say to him to sleep in peace as they have come to know that he was a believer. On the other hand a hypocrite or a doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know but heard the people saying something and so I said the same.'' Narated By Yahya Al-Mazini A person asked 'Abdullah bin Zaid who was the grandfather of 'Amr bin Yahya, 'Can you show me how Allah's Apostle used to perform ablution?' 'Abdullah bin Zaid replied in the affirmative and asked for water. He poured it on his hands and washed them twice, then he rinsed his mouth thrice and washed his nose with water thrice by putting water in it and blowing it out. He washed his face thrice and after that he washed his forearms up to the elbows twice and then passed his wet hands over his head from its front to its back and vice versa (beginning from the front and taking them to the back of his head up to the nape of the neck and then brought them to the front again from where he had started) and washed his feet (up to the ankles). Narated By 'Amr My father saw 'Amr bin Abi Hasan asking 'Abdullah bin Zaid about the ablution of the Prophet. 'Abdullah bin Zaid asked for earthen-ware pot containing water and in front of them performed ablution like that of the Prophet. He poured water from the pot over his hand and washed his hands thrice and then he put his hands in the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out with three handfuls of water. Again he put his hand in the water and washed his face thrice and washed his forearms up to the elbows twice; and then put his hands in the water and then passed them over his head by bringing them to the front and then to the rear of the head once, and then he washed his feet up to the ankles. Narated By Abu Juhaifa Allah's Apostle came to us at noon and water for ablution was brought to him. After he had performed ablution, the remaining water was taken by the people and they started smearing their bodies with it (as a blessed thing). The Prophet offered two Rakat of the Zuhr prayer and then two Rakat of the 'Asr prayer while an 'Anza (spear-headed stick) was there (as a Sutra) in front of him. Abu Musa said The Prophet asked for a tumbler containing water and washed both his hands and face in it and then threw a mouthful of water in the tumbler and said to both of us (Abu Musa and Bilal), 'Drink from the tumbler and pour some of its water on your faces and chests.' Narated By Ibn Shihab Mahmud bin Ar-Rabi' who was the person on whose face the Prophet had ejected a mouthful of water from his family's well while he was a boy, and 'Urwa (on the authority of Al-Miswar and others) who testified each other, said, 'Whenever the Prophet, performed ablution, his companions were nearly fighting for the remains of the water.' Narated By As-Sa'ib bin Yazid My aunt took me to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! This son of my sister has got a disease in his legs.' So he passed his hands on my head and prayed for Allah's blessings for me; then he performed ablution and I drank from the remaining water. I stood behind him and saw the seal of Prophethood between his shoulders, and it was like the 'Zir-al-Hijla' (means the button of a small tent, but some said 'egg of a partridge.' etc.) Narated By 'Amr bin Yahya (On the authority of his father) 'Abdullah bin Zaid poured water on his hands from a utensil containing water and washed them and then with one handful of water he rinsed his mouth and cleaned his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. He repeated it thrice. He, then, washed his hands and forearms up to the elbows twice and passed wet hands over his head, both forwards and backwards, and washed his feet up to the ankles and said, 'This is the ablution of Allah's Apostle.' Narated By Amr bin Yahya My father said, 'I saw Amr bin Abi Hasan asking 'Abdullah bin Zaid about the ablution of the Prophet. Abdullah bin Zaid asked for an earthenware pot containing water and performed ablution in front of them. He poured water over his hands and washed them thrice. Then he put his (right) hand in the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice with three handfuls of water Again he put his hand in the water and washed his face thrice. After that he put his hand in the pot and washed his forearms up to the elbows twice and then again put his hand in the water and passed wet hands over his head by bringing them to the front and then to the back and once more he put his hand in the pot and washed his feet (up to the ankles.)' Narated By Wuhaib That he (the Prophet in narration 191 above) had passed his wet hands on the head once only. Narated By Jabir Allah's Apostle came to visit me while I was sick and unconscious. He performed ablution and sprinkled the remaining water on me and I became conscious and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! To whom will my inheritance go as I have neither ascendants nor descendants?' Then the Divine verses regarding Fara'id (inheritance) were revealed. Narated By Anas It was the time for prayer, and those whose houses were near got up and went to their people (to perform ablution), and there remained some people (sitting). Then a painted stove pot (Mikhdab) containing water was brought to Allah's Apostles The pot was small, not broad enough for one to spread one's hand in; yet all the people performed ablution. (The sub narrator said, 'We asked Anas, 'How many persons were you?' Anas replied 'We were eighty or more'). (It was one of the miracles of Allah's Apostle). Narated By Abu Musa Once the Prophet asked for a tumbler containing water. He washed his hands and face in it and also threw a mouthful of water in it. Narated By 'Abdullah bin Zaid Once Allah's Apostle came to us and we brought out water for him in a brass pot. He performed ablution thus He washed his face thrice, and his forearms to the elbows twice, then passed his wet hands lightly over the head from front to rear and brought them to front again and washed his feet (up to the ankles). Narated By 'Aisha When the ailment of the Prophet became aggravated and his disease became severe, he asked his wives to permit him to be nursed (treated) in my house. So they gave him the permission. Then the Prophet came (to my house) with the support of two men, and his legs were dragging on the ground, between 'Abbas, and another man.' 'Ubaid-Ullah (the sub narrator) said, 'I informed 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas of what 'Aisha said. Ibn 'Abbas said 'Do you know who was the other man?' I replied in the negative. Ibn 'Abbas said, 'He was 'Ali (bin Abi Talib).' 'Aisha further said, 'When the Prophet came to my house and his sickness became aggravated he ordered us to pour seven skins full of water on him, so that he might give some advice to the people. So he was seated in a Mikhdab (brass tub) belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet. Then, all of us started pouring water on him from the water skins till he beckoned to us to stop and that we have done (what he wanted us to do). After that he went out to the people.' Narated By 'Amr bin Yahya (On the authority of his father) My uncle used to perform ablution extravagantly and once he asked 'Abdullah bin Zaid to tell him how he had seen the Prophet performing ablution. He asked for an earthen-ware pot containing water, and poured water from it on his hands and washed them thrice, and then put his hand in the earthen-ware pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it Out thrice with one handful of water; he again put his hand in the water and took a handful of water and washed his face thrice, then washed his hands up to the elbows twice, and took water with his hand, and passed it over his head from front to back and then from back to front, and then washed his feet (up to the ankles) and said, 'I saw the Prophet performing ablution in that way.' Narated By Thabit Anas said, 'The Prophet asked for water and a tumbler with a broad base and no so deep, containing a small quantity of water, was brought to him whereby he put his fingers in it.' Anas further said, ' noticed the water springing out from amongst his fingers.' Anas added, ' estimated that the people who performed ablution with it numbered between seventy to eighty.' Narated By Anas The Prophet used to take a bath with one Saor up to five Mudds (1 Sa'= Mudds) of water and used to perform ablution with one Mudd of water. Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas said, 'The Prophet passed wet hands over his Khuffs.' 'Abdullah bin 'Umar asked Umar about it. 'Umar replied in the affirmative and added, 'Whenever Sa'd narrates a Hadith from the Prophet, there is no need to ask anyone else about it.' Narated By Al-Mughlra bin Shu'ba Once Allah's Apostle went out to answer the call of nature and I followed him with a tumbler containing water, and when he finished, I poured water and he performed ablution and passed wet hands over his Khuffs. Narated By Ja'far bin 'Amr bin Umaiya Ad-Damri My father said, 'I saw the Prophet passing wet hands over his Khuffs.' Narated By Ja'far bin 'Amr My father said, 'I saw the Prophet passing wet hands over his turban and Khuffs (leather socks).' Narated By 'Urwa bin Al-Mughira My father said, 'Once I was in the company of the Prophet on a journey and I dashed to take off his Khuffs. He ordered me to leave them as he had put them after performing ablution. So he passed wet hands or them. Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas Allah's Apostle ate a piece of cooked mutton from the shoulder region and prayed without repeating ablution. Narated By Ja'far bin 'Amr bin Umaiya My father said, 'I saw Allah's Apostle taking a piece of (cooked) mutton from the shoulder region and then he was called for prayer. He put his knife down and prayed without repeating ablution.' Narated By Suwaid bin Al-Nu'man In the year of the conquest of Khaibar I went with Allah's Apostle till we reached Sahba,' a place near Khaibar, where Allah's Apostle offered the 'Asr prayer and asked for food. Nothing but Sawrq was brought. He ordered it to be moistened with water. He and all of us ate it and the Prophet got up for the evening prayer (Maghrib prayer), rinsed his mouth with water and we did the same, and he then prayed without repeating the ablution. Narated By Maimuna The Prophet ate (a piece of) mutton from the shoulder region and then prayed without repeating the ablution. Narated By Ibn 'Abbas Allah's Apostle drank milk, rinsed his mouth and said, 'It has fat.' Narated By 'Aisha Allah's Apostle said, 'If anyone of you feels drowsy while praying he should go to bed (sleep) till his slumber is over because in praying while drowsy one does not know whether one is asking for forgiveness or for a bad thing for oneself.' Narated By Anas The Prophet said, 'If anyone of you feels drowsy while praying, he should sleep till he understands what he is saying (reciting).' Narated By 'Amr bin 'Amir Anas said, 'The Prophet used to perform ablution for every prayer.' I asked Anas, 'What you used to do?' Anas replied, 'We used to pray with the same ablution until we break it with Hadath.' Narated By Suwaid bin Nu'man In the year of the conquest of Khaibar I went with Allah's Apostle till we reached As-Sahba' where Allah's Apostle led the 'Asr prayer and asked for the food. Nothing but Sawiq was brought and we ate it and drank (water). The Prophet got up for the (Maghrib) Prayer, rinsed his mouth with water and then led the prayer without repeating the ablution. Narated By Ibn 'Abbas Once the Prophet, while passing through one of the grave-yards of Medina or Mecca heard the voices of two persons who were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet said, 'These two persons are being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid).' The Prophet then added, 'Yes! (they are being tortured for a major sin). Indeed, one of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine while the other used to go about with calumnies (to make enmiy between friends). The Prophet then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, broke it into two pieces and put one on each grave. On being asked why he had done so, he replied, 'I hope that their torture might be lessened, till these get dried.' Narated By Anas bin Malik Whenever the Prophet went to answer the call of nature, I used to bring water with which he used to clean his private parts. Narated By Ibn 'Abbas The Prophet once passed by two graves and said, 'These two persons are being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid). One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other used to go about with calumnies(to make enmity between friends).' The Prophet then took a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into (pieces) and fixed one on each grave. They said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Why have you done so?' He replied, 'I hope that their punishment might be lessened till these (the pieces of the leaf) become dry.' (See the foot-note of Hadith 215). Narated By Anas bin Malik The Prophet saw a Bedouin making water in the mosque and told the people not to disturb him. When he finished, the Prophet asked for some water and poured it over (the urine). Narated By Abu Huraira A Bedouin stood up and started making water in the mosque. The people caught him but the Prophet ordered them to leave him and to pour a bucket or a tumbler of water over the place where he had passed the urine. The Prophet then said, 'You have been sent to make things easy and not to make them difficult.' Narated By Anas bin Malik The Prophet said as above (219). Narated By Anas bin Malik A Bedouin came and passed urine in one corner of the mosque. The people shouted at him but the Prophet stopped them till he finished urinating. The Prophet ordered them to spill a bucket of water over that place and they did so. Narated By 'Aisha (The mother of faithful believers) A child was brought to Allah's Apostle and it urinated on the garment of the Prophet. The Prophet asked for water and poured it over the soiled place. Narated By Um Qais bint Mihsin I brought my young son, who had not started eating (ordinary food) to Allah's Apostle who took him and made him sit in his lap. The child urinated on the garment of the Prophet, so he asked for water and poured it over the soiled (area) and did not wash it. Narated By Hudhaifa Once the Prophet went to the dumps of some people and passed urine while standing. He then asked for water and so I brought it to him and he performed ablution. Narated By Hudhaifa' The Prophet and I walked till we reached the dumps of some people. He stood, as any one of you stands, behind a wall and urinated. I went away, but he beckoned me to come. So I approached him and stood near his back till he finished. Narated By Abu Wail Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari used to lay great stress on the question of urination and he used to say, 'If anyone from Bani Israel happened to soil his clothes with urine, he used to cut that portion away.' Hearing that, Hudhaifa said to Abu Wail, 'I wish he (Abu Musa) didn't (lay great stress on that matter).' Hudhaifa added, 'Allah's Apostle went to the dumps of some people and urinated while standing.' Narated By Asma' A woman came to the Prophet and said, 'If anyone of us gets menses in her clothes then what should she do?' He replied, 'She should (take hold of the soiled place), rub it and put it in the water and rub it in order to remove the traces of blood and then pour water over it. Then she can pray in it.' Narated By 'Aisha Fatima bint Abi Hubaish came to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle I get persistent bleeding from the uterus and do not become clean. Shall I give up my prayers?' Allah's Apostle replied, 'No, because it is from a blood vessel and not the menses. So when your real menses begins give up your prayers and when it has finished wash off the blood (take a bath) and offer your prayers.' Hisham (the sub narrator) narrated that his father had also said, (the Prophet told her) 'Perform ablution for every prayer till the time of the next period comes.' Narated By 'Aisha I used to wash the traces of Janaba (semen) from the clothes of the Prophet and he used to go for prayers while traces of water were still on it (water spots were still visible). Narated By 'Aisha As above (229). Narated By Sulaiman bin Yasar I asked 'Aisha about the clothes soiled with semen. She replied, 'I used to wash it off the clothes of Allah's Apostle and he would go for the prayer while water spots were still visible.' Narated By 'Amr bin Maimun I heard Sulaiman bin Yasar talking about the clothes soiled with semen. He said that 'Aisha had said, 'I used to wash it off the clothes of Allah's Apostle and he would go for the prayers while water spots were still visible on them. Narated By 'Aisha I used to wash the semen off the clothes of the Prophet and even then I used to notice one or more spots on them. Narated By Abu Qilaba Anas said, 'Some people of 'Ukl or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet early in the morning and he sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were put in 'Al-Harra' and when they asked for water, no water was given to them.' Abu Qilaba said, 'Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and fought against Allah and His Apostle.' Narated By Anas Prior to the construction of the mosque, the Prophet offered the prayers at sheep-folds. Narated By Maimuna Allah's Apostle was asked regarding ghee (cooking butter) in which a mouse had fallen. He said, 'Take out the mouse and throw away the ghee around it and use the rest.' Narated By Maimuna The Prophet was asked regarding ghee in which a mouse had fallen. He said, 'Take out the mouse and throw away the ghee around it (and use the rest.)' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'A wound which a Muslim receives in Allah's cause will appear on the Day of Resurrection as it was at the time of infliction; blood will be flowing from the wound and its color will be that of the blood but will smell like musk.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'We (Muslims) are the last (people to come in the world) but (will be) the foremost (on the Day of Resurrection).' The same narrator told that the Prophet had said, 'You should not pass urine in stagnant water which is not flowing then (you may need to) wash in it.' Narated By 'Abdullah While Allah's Apostle was prostrating (as stated below). Narated By 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud Once the Prophet was offering prayers at the Ka'ba. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of his companions. One of them said to the others, 'Who amongst you will bring the abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of a camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back of Muhammad, when he prostrates?' The most unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He waited till the Prophet prostrated and then placed it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching but could not do any thing. I wish I had some people with me to hold out against them. They started laughing and falling on one another. Allah's Apostle was in prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's daughter) came and threw that (camel's abdominal contents) away from his back. He raised his head and said thrice, 'O Allah! Punish Quraish.' So it was hard for Abu Jahl and his companions when the Prophet invoked Allah against them as they had a conviction that the prayers and invocations were accepted in this city (Mecca). The Prophet said, 'O Allah! Punish Abu Jahl, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Shaiba bin Rabi'a, Al-Walid bin 'Utba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, and 'Uqba bin Al Mu'it (and he mentioned the seventh whose name I cannot recall). By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I saw the dead bodies of those persons who were counted by Allah's Apostle in the Qalib (one of the wells) of Badr. Narated By Anas The Prophet once spat in his clothes. Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet said, 'All drinks that produce intoxication are Haram (forbidden to drink). Narated By Abu Hazim Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi, was asked by the people, 'With what was the wound of the Prophet treated? Sahl replied, 'None remains among the people living who knows that better than I. 'Ah used to bring water in his shield and Fatima used to wash the blood off his face. Then straw mat was burnt and the wound was filled with it.' Narated By Abu Burda My father said, 'I came to the Prophet and saw him carrying a Siwak in his hand and cleansing his teeth, saying, 'U' U',' as if he was retching while the Siwak was in his mouth.' Narated By Hudhaifa Whenever the Prophet got up at night, he used to clean his mouth with Siwak. Narated By Al-Bara 'bin 'Azib The Prophet said to me, 'Whenever you go to bed perform ablution like that for the prayer, lie or your right side and say, 'Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilaika, wa fauwadtu amri ilaika, wa alja'tu Zahri ilaika raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika. La Malja' wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Allahumma amantu bikitabika-l-ladhi anzalta wa bina-biyika-l ladhi arsalta' (O Allah! I surrender to You and entrust all my affairs to You and depend upon You for Your Blessings both with hope and fear of You. There is no fleeing from You, and there is no place of protection and safety except with You O Allah! I believe in Your Book (the Qur'an) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad) whom You have sent). Then if you die on that very night, you will die with faith (i.e. or the religion of Islam). Let the aforesaid words be your last utterance (before sleep).' I repeated it before the Prophet and when I reached 'Allahumma amantu bikitabika-l-ladhi anzalta (O Allah I believe in Your Book which You have revealed).' I said, 'Wa-rasulika (and your Apostle).' The Prophet said, 'No, (but say) 'Wanabiyika-l-ladhi arsalta (Your Prophet whom You have sent), instead.'

I heard Abi Amr 'Ash-Shaibani saying, 'The owner of this house.' he pointed to 'Abdullah's house, 'said, 'I asked the Prophet 'Which deed is loved most by Allah?' He replied, 'To offer prayers at their early (very first) stated times.'' 'Abdullah asked, 'What is the next (in goodness)?' The Prophet said, 'To be good and dutiful to one's parents,' 'Abdullah asked, 'What is the next (in goodness)?' The Prophet said, To participate in Jihad for Allah's Cause.' 'Abdullah added, 'The Prophet narrated to me these three things, and if I had asked more, he would have told me more.' Narated By Abu Huraira A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Who is more entitled to be treated with the best companionship by me?' The Prophet said, 'Your mother.' The man said. 'Who is next?' The Prophet said, 'Your mother.' The man further said, 'Who is next?' The Prophet said, 'Your mother.' The man asked for the fourth time, 'Who is next?' The Prophet said, 'Your father.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin ‘Amr A man said to the Prophet, 'Shall I participate in Jihad?' The Prophet said, 'Are your parents living?' The man said, 'Yes.' the Prophet said, 'Do Jihad for their benefit.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin ‘Amr Allah's Apostle said. 'It is one of the greatest sins that a man should curse his parents.' It was asked (by the people), 'O Allah's Apostle! How does a man curse his parents?' The Prophet said, ''The man abuses the father of another man and the latter abuses the father of the former and abuses his mother.' Narated By Ibn 'Umar Allah's Apostle said, 'While three persons were traveling, they were overtaken by rain and they took shelter in a cave in a mountain. A big rock fell from the mountain over the mouth of the cave and blocked it. They said to each other. 'Think of such good (righteous) deeds which, you did for Allah's sake only, and invoke Allah by giving reference to those deeds so that Allah may relieve you from your difficulty. one of them said, 'O Allah! I had my parents who were very old and I had small children for whose sake I used to work as a shepherd. When I returned to them at night and milked (the sheep), I used to start giving the milk to my parents first before giving to my children. And one day I went far away in search of a grazing place (for my sheep), and didn't return home till late at night and found that my parents had slept. I milked (my livestock) as usual and brought the milk vessel and stood at their heads, and I disliked to wake them up from their sleep, and I also disliked to give the milk to my children before my parents though my children were crying (from hunger) at my feet. So this state of mine and theirs continued till the day dawned. (O Allah!) If you considered that I had done that only for seeking Your pleasure, then please let there be an opening through which we can see the sky.' So Allah made for them an opening through which they could see the sky. Then the second person said, 'O Allah! I had a she-cousin whom I loved as much as a passionate man loves a woman. I tried to seduce her but she refused till I paid her one-hundred Dinars So I worked hard till I collected one hundred Dinars and went to her with that But when I sat in between her legs (to have sexual intercourse with her), she said, 'O Allah's slave! Be afraid of Allah ! Do not deflower me except legally (by marriage contract). So I left her O Allah! If you considered that I had done that only for seeking Your pleasure then please let the rock move a little to have a (wider) opening.' So Allah shifted that rock to make the opening wider for them. And the last (third) person said 'O Allah ! I employed a laborer for wages equal to a Faraq (a certain measure of rice, and when he had finished his job he demanded his wages, but when I presented his due to him, he gave it up and refused to take it. Then I kept on sowing that rice for him (several times) till managed to buy with the price of the yield, some cows and their shepherd Later on the laborer came to me an said. '(O Allah's slave!) Be afraid o Allah, and do not be unjust to me and give me my due.' I said (to him). 'Go and take those cows and their shepherd. So he took them and went away. (So, O Allah!) If You considered that I had done that for seeking Your pleasure, then please remove the remaining part of the rock.' And so Allah released them (from their difficulty).' Narated By Al-Mughira The Prophet said, 'Allah has forbidden you (1) to be undutiful to your mothers (2) to withhold (what you should give) or (3) demand (what you do not deserve), and (4) to bury your daughters alive. And Allah has disliked that (A) you talk too much about others (B), ask too many questions (in religion), or (C) waste your property.' Narated By Abu Bakra Allah's Apostle said thrice, 'Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the great sins?' We said, 'Yes, O Allah's Apostle' He said, 'To join partners in worship with Allah to be undutiful to one's parents.' The Prophet sat up after he had been reclining and added, 'And I warn you against giving forged statement and a false witness; I warn you against giving a forged statement and a false witness.' The Prophet kept on saying that warning till we thought that he would not stop. Narated By Anas bin Malik Allah's Apostle mentioned the greatest sins or he was asked about the greatest sins. He said, 'To join partners in worship with Allah; to kill a soul which Allah has forbidden to kill; and to be undutiful or unkind to one's parents.' The Prophet added, 'Shall I inform you of the biggest of the great sins? That is the forged statement or the false witness.' Shu'ba (the sub-narrator) states that most probably the Prophet said, 'the false witness.' Narated By Asma' bint Abu Bakr My mother came to me, hoping (for my favor) during the lifetime of the Prophet asked the Prophet, 'May I treat her kindly?' He replied, 'Yes.' Ibn 'Uyaina said, 'Then Allah revealed 'Allah forbids you not with regards to those who fought not against you because of religion, and drove you not out from your homes, that you should show them kindness and deal justly with them.'… (60.8) Narated By Abu Sufyan That Heraclius sent for him and said, 'What did he, i.e. the Prophet order you?' I replied, 'He orders us to offer prayers; to give alms; to be chaste; and to keep good relations with our relatives. Narated By Ibn 'Umar My father, seeing a silken cloak being sold, said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Buy this and wear it on Fridays and when the foreign delegates pay a visit to you.' He said, 'This is worn only by that person who will have no share in the Hereafter.' Later a few silken cloaks were given to the Prophet as a gift, and he sent one of those cloaks to 'Umar. 'Umar said (to the Prophet), 'How can I wear it while you have said about it what you said?' The Prophet said, 'I did not give it to you to wear but to sell or to give to someone else to wear.' So 'Umar sent it to his (pagan) brother who was from the inhabitants of Mecca before he ('Umar's brother) embraced Islam. Narated By Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari A man said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Inform me of a deed which will make me enter Paradise.' The people said, 'What is the matter with him? What is the matter with him?' Allah's Apostle said, 'He has something to ask (what he needs greatly).' The Prophet said (to him), (In order to enter Paradise) you should worship Allah and join none in worship with Him You should offer prayers perfectly, give obligatory charity (Zakat), and keep good relations with your Kith and kin.' He then said, 'Leave it!' (The sub-narrator said, 'It seems that the Prophet was riding his she camel.' Narated By Jubair bin Mut'im That he heard the Prophet saying, 'The person who severs the bond of kinship will not enter Paradise.' Narated By Abu Huraira I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Who ever is pleased that he be granted more wealth and that his lease of life be pro longed, then he should keep good relations with his Kith and kin.' Narated By Anas bin Malik Allah 's Apostle said, 'Whoever loves that he be granted more wealth and that his lease of life be prolonged then he should keep good relations with his Kith and kin.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Allah created the creations, and when He finished from His creations, Ar-Rahm i.e., womb said, '(O Allah) at this place I seek refuge with You from all those who sever me (i.e. sever the ties of Kith and kin). Allah said, 'Yes, won't you be pleased that I will keep good relations with the one who will keep good relations with you, and I will sever the relation with the one who will sever the relations with you.' It said, 'Yes, O my Lord.' Allah said, 'Then that is for you ' ' Allah's Apostle added. 'Read (in the Qur'an) if you wish, the Statement of Allah 'Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land and sever your ties of kinship?' (47.22).' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'The word 'Ar-Rahm (womb) derives its name from Ar-Rahman (i.e., one of the names of Allah) and Allah said 'I will keep good relation with the one who will keep good relation with you, (womb i.e. Kith and Kin) and sever the relation with him who will sever the relation with you, (womb, i.e. Kith and Kin). Narated By 'Aisha (The wife of the Prophet) The Prophet said, 'The word 'Ar-Rahm' (womb) derives its name from 'Ar-Rahman' (i.e. Allah). So whosoever keeps good relations with it (womb i.e. Kith and kin), Allah will keep good relations with him, and whosoever will sever it (i.e. severs his bonds of Kith and kin) Allah too will sever His relations with him. Narated By 'Amr bin Al-'As I heard the Prophet saying openly not secretly, 'The family of Abu so-and-so (i.e. Talib) are not among my protectors.' 'Amr said that there was a blank space (1) in the Book of Muhammad bin Ja'far. He added, 'My Protector is Allah and the righteous believing people.' 'Amr bin Al-'As added I heard the Prophet saying, 'But they (that family) have kinship (Rahm) with me and I will be good and dutiful to them.' Narated By Abdullah bin 'Amr The Prophet said, 'Al-Wasil is not the one who recompenses the good done to him by his relatives, but Al-Wasil is the one who keeps good relations with those relatives who had severed the bond of kinship with him.' Narated By Hakim bin Hizam That he said, 'O Allah's Apostle! What do you think about my good deeds which I used to do during the period of ignorance (before embracing Islam) like keeping good relations with my Kith and kin, manumitting of slaves and giving alms etc; Shall I receive the reward for that?' Allah's Apostle said, 'You have embraced Islam with all those good deeds which you did. Narated By Sa'id Um Khalid bint Khalid bin Said said, 'I came to Allah's Apostle along with my father and I was wearing a yellow shirt. Allah's Apostle said, 'Sanah Sanah!' ('Abdullah, the sub-narrator said, 'It means, 'Nice, nice!' in the Ethiopian language.') Um Khalid added, 'Then I started playing with the seal of Prophet hood. My father admonished me. But Allah's Apostle said (to my father), 'Leave her,' Allah's Apostle (then addressing me) said, 'May you live so long that your dress gets worn out, and you will mend it many times, and then wear another till it gets worn out (i.e. May Allah prolong your life).' (The sub-narrator, 'Abdullah aid, 'That garment (which she was wearing remained usable for a long period).' Narated By Ibn Abi Na'm I was present when a man asked Ibn 'Umar about the blood of mosquitoes. Ibn Umar said, 'From where are you?' The man replied. 'From Iraq.' Ibn 'Umar said, 'Look at that! he is asking me about the blood of Mosquitoes while they (the Iraqis) have killed the (grand) son of the Prophet. I have heard the Prophet saying, 'They (Hasan and Husain) are my two sweet-smelling flowers in this world.' Narated By 'Aisha (The wife of the Prophet) A lady along with her two daughters came to me asking me (for some alms), but she found nothing with me except one date which I gave to her and she divided it between her two daughters, and then she got up and went away. Then the Prophet came in and I informed him about this story. He said, 'Whoever is in charge of (put to test by) these daughters and treats them generously, then they will act as a shield for him from the (Hell) Fire.' Narated By Abu Qatada The Prophet came out towards us, while carrying Umamah, the daughter of Abi Al-As (his grand-daughter) over his shoulder. He prayed, and when he wanted to bow, he put her down, and when he stood up, he lifted her up. Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle kissed Al-Hasan bin Ali while Al-Aqra' bin Habis AtTamim was sitting beside him. Al-Aqra said, 'I have ten children and I have never kissed anyone of them,' Allah's Apostle cast a look at him and said, 'Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully.' Narated By 'Aisha A Bedouin came to the Prophet and said, 'You (people) kiss the boys! We don't kiss them.' The Prophet said, 'I cannot put mercy in your heart after Allah has taken it away from it.' Narated By 'Umar bin Al-Khattab Some Sabi (i.e. war prisoners, children and woman only) were brought before the Prophet and behold, a woman amongst them was milking her breasts to feed and whenever she found a child amongst the captives, she took it over her chest and nursed it (she had lost her child but later she found him) the Prophet said to us, 'Do you think that this lady can throw her son in the fire?' We replied, 'No, if she has the power not to throw it (in the fire).' The Prophet then said, 'Allah is more merciful to His slaves than this lady to her son.' Narated By Abu Huraira I heard Allah's Apostle saying, Allah divided Mercy into one-hundred parts and He kept its ninety-nine parts with Him and sent down its one part on the earth, and because of that, it’s one single part, His creations are Merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby animal, lest it should trample on it.' Narated By 'Abdullah I said 'O Allah's Apostle! Which sin is the greatest?' He said, 'To set up a rival unto Allah, though He Alone created you.' I said, 'What next?' He said, 'To kill your son lest he should share your food with you.' I further asked, 'What next?' He said, 'To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor.' And then Allah revealed as proof of the statement of the Prophet 'Those who invoke not with Allah any other god)… (to end of verse).' (25.68) Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet took a child in his lap for Tahnik (i.e. he chewed a date in his mouth and put its juice in the mouth of the child). The child urinated on him, so he asked for water and poured it over the place of the urine. Narated By Usama bin Zaid Allah's Apostle used to put me on (one of) his thighs and put AlHasan bin 'Ali on his other thigh, and then embrace us and say, 'O Allah! Please be Merciful to them, as I am merciful to them.' Narated By 'Aisha I never felt so jealous of any woman as I did of Khadija, though she had died three years before the Prophet married me, and that was because I heard him mentioning her too often, and because his Lord had ordered him to give her the glad tidings that she would have a palace in Paradise, made of Qasab and because he used to slaughter a sheep and distribute its meat among her friends. Narated By Sahl bin Sa'd The Prophet said, 'I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this,' putting his index and middle fingers together. Narated By Safwan bin Salim The Prophet said 'The one who looks after and works for a widow and for a poor person, is like a warrior fighting for Allah's Cause or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all the night.' Narrated Abu Huraira that the Prophet said as above. Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'The one who looks after and works for a widow and for a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah's Cause.' (The narrator Al-Qa'nabi is not sure whether he also said 'Like the one who prays all the night without slackness and fasts continuously and never breaks his fast.') Narated By Abu Sulaiman and Malik bin Huwairith We came to the Prophet and we were (a few) young men of approximately equal age and stayed with him for twenty nights. Then he thought that we were anxious for our families, and he asked us whom we had left behind to look after our families, and we told him. He was kindhearted and merciful, so he said, 'Return to your families and teach them (religious knowledge) and order them (to do good deeds) and offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayers, and when the stated time for the prayer becomes due, then one of you should pronounce its call (i.e. the Adhan), and the eldest of you should lead you in prayer. Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'While a man was walking on a road. he became very thirsty. Then he came across a well, got down into it, drank (of its water) and then came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. The man said to himself 'This dog is suffering from the same state of thirst as I did.' So he went down the well (again) and filled his shoe (with water) and held it in his mouth and watered the dog. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him.' The people asked, 'O Allah's Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?' He said, '(Yes) There is a reward for serving any animate (living being).' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle stood up for the prayer and we too stood up along with him. Then a Bedouin shouted while offering prayer. 'O Allah! Bestow Your Mercy on me and Muhammad only and do not bestow it on anybody else along with us.' When the Prophet had finished his prayer with Taslim, he said to the Bedouin, 'You have limited (narrowed) a very vast (thing),' meaning Allah's Mercy. Narated By An-Nu'man bin Bashir Allah's Apostle said, 'You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it.' Narated By Anas bin Malik The Prophet said, 'If any Muslim plants any plant and a human being or an animal eats of it, he will be rewarded as if he had given that much in charity.' Narated By Jarir bin 'Abdullah The Prophet said, 'He who is not merciful to others, will not be treated mercifully. Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet said 'Gabriel continued to recommend me about treating the neighbors Kindly and politely so much so that I thought he would order me to make them as my heirs. Narated By Ibn Umar Allah' Apostle said, Gabriel kept on recommending me about treating the neighbors in a kind and polite manner, so much so that I thought that he would order (me) to make them (my) heirs.' Narated By Abu Shuraih The Prophet said, 'By Allah, he does not believe! By Allah, he does not believe! By Allah, he does not believe!' It was said, 'Who is that, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, 'That person whose neighbor does not feel safe from his evil.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet used to say, 'O Muslim ladies! A neighbouress should not look down upon the present of her neighbouress even it were the hooves of a sheep.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'Anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should not harm his neighbor, and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should entertain his guest generously and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet. (i.e. abstain from all kinds of evil and dirty talk). Narated By Abu Shuraih Al-Adawi My ears heard and my eyes saw the Prophet when he spoke, 'Anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his neighbor generously, and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should serve his guest generously by giving him his reward.' It was asked. 'What is his reward, O Allah's Apostle?' He said, '(To be entertained generously) for a day and a night with high quality of food and the guest has the right to be entertained for three days (with ordinary food) and if he stays longer, what he will be provided with will be regarded as Sadaqa (a charitable gift). And anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quite (i.e. abstain from all kinds of dirty and evil talks).' Narated By 'Aisha I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I have two neighbors! To whom shall I send my gifts?' He said, 'To the one whose gate in nearer to you.' Narated By Jabir bin 'Abdullah The Prophet said, Enjoining, all that is good is a Sadaqa.' Narated By Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari The Prophet said, 'On every Muslim there is enjoined (a compulsory) Sadaqa (alms).' They (the people) said, 'If one has nothing?' He said, 'He should work with his hands so that he may benefit himself and give in charity.' They said, 'If he cannot work or does not work?' He said, 'Then he should help the oppressed unhappy person (by word or action or both).' They said, 'If he does not do it?' He said, 'Then he should enjoin what is good (or said what is reasonable).' They said, 'If he does not do that'' He said, 'Then he should refrain from doing evil, for that will be considered for Him as a Sadaqa (charity).' Narated By 'Adi bin Hatim The Prophet mentioned the (Hell) Fire and sought refuge (with Allah) from it, and turned his face to the other side. He mentioned the (Hell) Fire again and took refuge (with Allah) from it and turned his face to the other side. (Shu'ba, the sub-narrator, said, 'I have no doubt that the Prophet repeated it twice.') The Prophet then said, '(O people!) Save yourselves from the (Hell) Fire even if with one half of a date fruit (given in charity), and if this is not available, then (save yourselves) by saying a good pleasant friendly word.' Narated By 'Aisha (The wife of the Prophet) A group of Jews entered upon the Prophet and said, 'As-Samu-Alaikum.' (i.e. death be upon you). I understood it and said, 'Wa-Alaikum AsSamu wal-la'n. (death and the curse of Allah be Upon you).' Allah's Apostle said 'Be calm, O 'Aisha! Allah loves that on, should be kind and lenient in all matters.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Haven't you heard what they (the Jews) have said?' Allah's Apostle said 'I have (already) said (to them) 'And upon you!' Narated By Anas bin Malik A Bedouin urinated in the mosque and the people ran to (beat) him. Allah's Apostle said, 'Do not interrupt his urination (i.e. let him finish).' Then the Prophet asked for a tumbler of water and poured the water over the place of urine. Narated By Abu Musa The Prophet said, 'A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other.' The Prophet then clasped his hands with the fingers interlaced. (At that time) the Prophet was sitting and a man came and begged or asked for something. The Prophet faced us and said, 'Help and recommend him and you will receive the reward for it, and Allah will bring about what He will through His Prophet's tongue.' Narated By Abu Musa Whenever a beggar or a person in need came to the Prophet, the Prophet would say 'Help and recommend him and you will receive the reward for it, and Allah will bring about what he will through His Prophet's tongue.' Narated By Masruq Abdullah bin 'Amr mentioned Allah's Apostle saying that he was neither a Fahish nor a Mutafahish. Abdullah bin 'Amr added, Allah's Apostle said, 'The best among you are those who have the best manners and character.'' Narated By 'Abdullah bin Mulaika 'Aisha said that the Jews came to the Prophet and said, 'As-Samu 'Alaikum' (death be on you). 'Aisha said (to them), '(Death) be on you, and may Allah curse you and shower His wrath upon you!' The Prophet said, 'Be calm, O 'Aisha ! You should be kind and lenient, and beware of harshness and Fuhsh (i.e. bad words).' She said (to the Prophet), 'Haven't you heard what they (Jews) have said?' He said, 'Haven't you heard what I have said (to them)? I said the same to them, and my invocation against them will be accepted while theirs against me will be rejected (by Allah).' Narated By Anas bin Malik The Prophet was not one who would abuse (others) or say obscene words, or curse (others), and if he wanted to admonish anyone of us, he used to say 'What is wrong with him, his forehead be dusted!' Narated By 'Aisha A man asked permission to enter upon the Prophet. When the Prophet saw him, he said, 'What an evil brother of his tribe! And what an evil son of his tribe!' When that man sat down, the Prophet behaved with him in a nice and polite manner and was completely at ease with him. When that person had left, 'Aisha said (to the Prophet). 'O Allah's Apostle! When you saw that man, you said so-and-so about him, then you showed him a kind and polite behavior, and you enjoyed his company?' Allah's Apostle said, 'O 'Aisha! Have you ever seen me speaking a bad and dirty language? (Remember that) the worst people in Allah's sight on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom the people leave (undisturbed) to be away from their evil (deeds).' Narated By Anas The Prophet was the best among the people (both in shape and character) and was the most generous of them, and was the bravest of them. Once, during the night, the people of Medina got afraid (of a sound). So the people went towards that sound, but the Prophet having gone to that sound before them, met them while he was saying, 'Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.' (At that time) he was riding a horse belonging to Abu Talha and it was naked without a saddle, and he was carrying a sword slung at his neck. The Prophet said, 'I found it (the horse) like a sea, or, it is the sea indeed.' Narated By Jabir Never was the Prophet asked for a thing to be given for which his answer was 'no'. Narated By Masruq We were sitting with 'Abdullah bin 'Amr who was narrating to us (Hadith) He said, 'Allah's Apostle was neither a Fahish nor a Mutafahhish, and he used to say, 'The best among you are the best in character (having good manners).'' Narated By Abu Hazim Sahl bin Sa'd said that a woman brought a Burda (sheet) to the Prophet. Sahl asked the people, 'Do you know what is a Burda?' The people replied, 'It is a 'Shamla', a sheet with a fringe.' That woman said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I have brought it so that you may wear it.' So the Prophet took it because he was in need of it and wore it. A man among his companions, seeing him wearing it, said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Please give it to me to wear.' The Prophet said, 'Yes.' (and gave him that sheet). When the Prophet left, the man was blamed by his companions who said, 'It was not nice on your part to ask the Prophet for it while you know that he took it because he was in need of it, and you also know that he (the Prophet) never turns down anybody's request that he might be asked for.' That man said, 'I just wanted to have its blessings as the Prophet had put it on, so l hoped that I might be shrouded in it.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'Time will pass rapidly, good deeds will decrease, and miserliness will be thrown (in the hearts of the people), and the Harj (will increase).' They asked, 'What is the Harj?' He replied, '(It is) killing (murdering), (it is) murdering (killing). Narated By Anas I served the Prophet for ten years, and he never said to me, 'Uf' (a minor harsh word denoting impatience) and never blamed me by saying, 'Why did you do so or why didn't you do so?' Narated By Al-Aswad I asked 'Aisha what did the Prophet use to do at home. She replied. 'He used to keep himself busy serving his family and when it was time for the prayer, he would get up for prayer.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying 'Allah loves so and so; O Gabriel, love him.' Gabriel would love him, and then Gabriel would make an announcement among the residents of the Heaven, 'Allah loves so-and-so, therefore, you should love him also.' So, all the residents of the Heavens would love him and then he is granted the pleasure of the people of the earth.' Narated By Anas bin Malik The Prophet said, 'None will have the sweetness (delight) of Faith (a) till he loves a person and loves him only for Allah's sake, (b) and till it becomes dearer to him to be thrown in the fire than to revert to disbelief (Heathenism) after Allah has brought him out of it, (c) and till Allah and His Apostle become dearer to him than anything else.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin Zam'a The Prophet forbade laughing at a person who passes wind, and said, 'How does anyone of you beat his wife as he beats the stallion camel and then he may embrace (sleep with) her?' And Hisham said, 'As he beats his slave.' Narated By Ibn 'Umar The Prophet said at Mina, 'Do you know what day is today?' They (the people) replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better,' He said 'Today is 10th of Dhul-Hijja, the sacred (forbidden) day. Do you know what town is this town?' They (the people) replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better.' He said, 'This is the (forbidden) Sacred town (Mecca a sanctuary).' And do you know which month is this month?' They (the People) replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better.' He said, 'This is the Sacred (forbidden) month.' He added, 'Allah has made your blood, your properties and your honor Sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours, in this town of yours.' Narated By 'Abdullah Allah's Apostle said, 'Abusing a Muslim is Fusuq (i.e., an evil-doing), and killing him is Kufr (disbelief).' Narated By Abu Dhar That he heard the Prophet saying, 'If somebody accuses another of Fusuq (by calling him 'Fasiq' i.e. a wicked person) or accuses him of Kufr, such an accusation will revert to him (i.e. the accuser) if his companion (the accused) is innocent.' Narated By Anas Allah's Apostle was neither a Fahish (one who had a bad tongue) nor a Sabbaba (one who abuses others) and he used to say while admonishing somebody, 'What is wrong with him? May dust be on his forehead!' Narated By Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak (Who was one of the companions who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet underneath the tree (Al-Hudaibiya)) Allah's Apostle said, 'Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam (i.e. if somebody swears by saying that he is a non-Muslim e.g., a Jew or a Christian, etc.) in case he is telling a lie, he is really so if his oath is false, and a person is not bound to fulfill a vow about a thing which he does not possess. And if somebody commits suicide with anything in this world, he will be tortured with that very thing on the Day of Resurrection; And if somebody curses a believer, then his sin will be as if he murdered him; And whoever accuses a believer of Kufr (disbelief), then it is as if he killed him.' Narated By Sulaiman bin Surad A man from the companions of the Prophet said, 'Two men abused each other in front of the Prophet and one of them became angry and his anger became so intense that his face became swollen and changed. The Prophet said, 'I know a word the saying of which will cause him to relax if he does say it.' Then a man went to him and informed him of the statement of the Prophet and said, 'Seek refuge with Allah from Satan.' On that, angry man said, 'Do you find anything wrong with me? Am I insane? Go away!' Narated By 'Ubada bin As-Samit Allah's Apostle went out to inform the people about the (date of the Night of decree (Al-Qadr). There happened a quarrel between two Muslim men. The Prophet said, 'I came out to inform you about the Night of Al-Qadr, but as so-and-so and soand-so quarrelled, so the news about it had been taken away; and maybe it was better for you. So look for it in the ninth, the seventh, or the fifth (of the last ten days of Ramadan).' Narated By Ma'rur I saw Abu Dhar wearing a Burd (garment) and his slave too was wearing a Burd, so I said (to Abu Dhar), 'If you take this (Burda of your slave) and wear it (along with yours), you will have a nice suit (costume) and you may give him another garment.' Abu Dhar said, 'There was a quarrel between me and another man whose mother was a non-Arab and I called her bad names. The man mentioned (complained about) me to the Prophet. The Prophet said, 'Did you abuse so-and-so?' I said, 'Yes' He said, 'Did you call his mother bad names?' I said, 'Yes'. He said, 'You still have the traits of (the Pre-lslamic period of) ignorance.' I said. '(Do I still have ignorance) even now in my old age?' He said, 'Yes, they (slaves or servants) are your brothers, and Allah has put them under your command. So the one under whose hand Allah has put his brother, should feed him of what he eats, and give him dresses of what he wears, and should not ask him to do a thing beyond his capacity. And if at all he asks him to do a hard task, he should help him therein.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet led us in the Zuhr prayer, offering only two Rakat and then (finished it) with Taslim, and went to a piece of wood in front of the mosque and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and 'Umar were also present among the people on that day but dared not talk to him (about his unfinished prayer). And the hasty people went away, wondering. 'Has the prayer been shortened' Among the people there was a man whom the Prophet used to call Dhul-Yadain (the long armed). He said, 'O Allah's Prophet! Have you forgotten or has the prayer been shortened?' The Prophet said, 'Neither have I forgotten, nor has it been shortened.' They (the people) said, 'Surely, you have forgotten, O Allah's Apostle!' The Prophet said, Dhul-Yadain has told the truth.' So the Prophet got up and offered other two Rakat and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then he said Takbir, performed a prostration of ordinary duration or longer, then he raised his head and said Takbir and performed another prostration of ordinary duration or longer and then raised his head and said Takbir (i.e. he performed the two prostrations of Sahu, i.e., forgetfulness).' Narated By Ibn 'Abbas Allah's Apostle passed by two graves and said, 'Both of them (persons in the grave) are being tortured, and they are not being tortured for a major sin. This one used not to save himself from being soiled with his urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (among the people to rouse hostilities, e.g., one goes to a person and tells him that so-and-so says about him such-and-such evil things). The Prophet then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into two pieces and planted one on each grave and said, 'It is hoped that their punishment may be abated till those two pieces of the leaf get dried.' (See Hadith No 215, Vol 1). Narated By Abu Usaid As-Sa'idi The Prophet said, 'The best family among the Ansar is the Banu An-Najjar.' Narated By 'Aisha A man asked permission to enter upon Allah's Apostle. The Prophet said, 'Admit him. What an evil brother of his people or a son of his people.' But when the man entered, the Prophet spoke to him in a very polite manner. (And when that person left) I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! You had said what you had said, yet you spoke to him in a very polite manner?' The Prophet said, 'O 'Aisha! The worst people are those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their dirty language or from their transgression.' Narated By Ibn 'Abbas Once the Prophet went through the grave-yards of Medina and heard the voices of two humans who were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet said, 'They are being punished, but they are not being punished because of a major sin, yet their sins are great. One of them used not to save himself from (being soiled with) the urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (Namima).' Then the Prophet asked for a green palm tree leaf and split it into two pieces and placed one piece on each grave, saying, 'I hope that their punishment may be abated as long as these pieces of the leaf are not dried.' Narated By Hudhaifa I heard the Prophet saying, 'A Qattat will not enter Paradise.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Whoever does not give up false statements (i.e. telling lies), and evil deeds, and speaking bad words to others, Allah is not in need of his (fasting) leaving his food and drink.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'The worst people in the Sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the double faced people who appear to some people with one face and to other people with another face.' Narated By Ibn Mas'ud Once Allah's Apostle divided and distributed (the war booty). An Ansar man said, 'By Allah ! Muhammad, by this distribution, did not intend to please Allah.' So I came to Allah's Apostle and informed him about it whereupon his face became changed with anger and he said, 'May Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses for he was hurt with more than this, yet he remained patient.' Narated By Abu Musa The Prophet heard a man praising another man and he was exaggerating in his praise. The Prophet said (to him). 'You have destroyed (or cut) the back of the man.' Narated By Abu Bakra A man was mentioned before the Prophet and another man praised him greatly The Prophet said, 'May Allah's Mercy be on you ! You have cut the neck of your friend.' The Prophet repeated this sentence many times and said, 'If it is indispensable for anyone of you to praise someone, then he should say, 'I think that he is so-and-so,' if he really thinks that he is such. Allah is the One Who will take his accounts (as He knows his reality) and no-one can sanctify anybody before Allah.' (Khalid said, 'Woe to you,' instead of 'Allah's Mercy be on you.') Narated By Salim That his father said; 'When Allah's Apostle mentioned what he mentioned about (the hanging of) the Izar (waist sheet), Abu Bakr said, 'O Allah's Apostle! My Izar slackens on one side (without my intention).' The Prophet said, 'You are not among those (who, out of pride) drag their Izars behind them.' Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet continued for such-and-such period imagining that he has slept (had sexual relations) with his wives, and in fact he did not. One day he said, to me, 'O 'Aisha! Allah has instructed me regarding a matter about which I had asked Him. There came to me two men, one of them sat near my feet and the other near my head. The one near my feet, asked the one near my head (pointing at me), 'What is wrong with this man? The latter replied, 'He is under the effect of magic.' The first one asked, 'Who had worked magic on him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid bin Asam.' The first one asked, 'What material (did he use)?' The other replied, 'The skin of the pollen of a male date tree with a comb and the hair stuck to it, kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan.'' Then the Prophet went to that well and said, 'This is the same well which was shown to me in the dream. The tops of its date-palm trees look like the heads of the devils, and its water looks like the Henna infusion.' Then the Prophet ordered that those things be taken out. I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Won't you disclose (the magic object)?' The Prophet said, 'Allah has cured me and I hate to circulate the evil among the people.' 'Aisha added, '(The magician) Lubaid bin Asam was a man from Bani Zuraiq, an ally of the Jews.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales; and do not look for the others' faults and do not spy, and do not be jealous of one another, and do not desert (cut your relation with) one another, and do not hate one another; and O Allah's worshipers! Be brothers (as Allah has ordered you!') Narated By Anas bin Malik Allah's Apostle said, 'Do not hate one another, and do not be jealous of one another, and do not desert each other, and O, Allah's worshipers! Be brothers. Lo! It is not permissible for any Muslim to desert (not talk to) his brother (Muslim) for more than three days.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst of false tales. and do not look for the others' faults, and do not do spying on one another, and do not practice Najsh, and do not be jealous of one another and do not hate one another, and do not desert (stop talking to) one another. And O, Allah's worshipers! Be brothers!' Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet said, 'I do not think that so-and-so and so-and-so know anything of our religion.' (And Al-Laith said, 'These two persons were among the hypocrites.') Narated By Al-Laith 'Aisha said 'The Prophet entered upon me one day and said, 'O 'Aisha! I do not think that so-and-so and so-and-so know anything of our religion which we follow.'' Narated By Abu Huraira I heard Allah's Apostle saying. 'All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the Mujahirin (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people). An example of such disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens it from the public, then he comes in the morning, and says, 'O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,' though he spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes Allah's screen from himself.' Narated By Safwan bin Muhriz A man asked Ibn 'Umar, 'What did you hear Allah's Apostle saying regarding An-Najwa (secret talk between Allah and His believing worshipper on the Day of Judgment)?' He said, '(The Prophet said), 'One of you will come close to his Lord till He will shelter him in His screen and say Did you commit such-and-such sin? He will say, 'Yes.' Then Allah will say Did you commit such and such sin? He will say, 'Yes.' So Allah will make him confess (all his sins) and He will say, 'I screened them (your sins) for you in the world, and today I forgive them for you.'' Narated By Haritha bin Wahb Al-Khuzai The Prophet said, 'Shall I inform you about the people of Paradise? They comprise every obscure unimportant humble person, and if he takes Allah's Oath that he will do that thing, Allah will fulfill his oath (by doing that). Shall I inform you about the people of the Fire? They comprise every cruel, violent, proud and conceited person.' Anas bin Malik said, 'Any of the female slaves of Medina could take hold of the hand of Allah's Apostle and take him wherever she wished.' Narated By 'Aisha (The wife of the Prophet) that she was told that 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (on hearing that she was selling or giving something as a gift) said, 'By Allah, if 'Aisha does not give up this, I will declare her incompetent to dispose of her wealth.' I said, 'Did he ('Abdullah bin AzZubair) say so?' They (people) said, 'Yes.' 'Aisha said, 'I vow to Allah that I will never speak to Ibn Az-Zubair.' When this desertion lasted long, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair sought intercession with her, but she said, 'By Allah, I will not accept the intercession of anyone for him, and will not commit a sin by breaking my vow.' When this state of affairs was prolonged on Ibn Az-Zubair (he felt it hard on him), he said to Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu Yaghuth, who were from the tribe of Bani Zahra, 'I beseech you, by Allah, to let me enter upon 'Aisha, for it is unlawful for her to vow to cut the relation with me.' So Al-Miswar and 'Abdur-Rahman, wrapping their sheets around themselves, asked 'Aisha's permission saying, 'Peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be upon you! Shall we come in?' 'Aisha said, 'Come in.' They said, 'All of us?' She said, 'Yes, come in all of you,' not knowing that Ibn Az-Zubair was also with them. So when they entered, Ibn Az-Zubair entered the screened place and got hold of 'Aisha and started requesting her to excuse him, and wept. Al-Miswar and 'Abdur Rahman also started requesting her to speak to him and to accept his repentance. They said (to her), 'The Prophet forbade what you know of deserting (not speaking to your Muslim Brethren), for it is unlawful for any Muslim not to talk to his brother for more than three nights (days).' So when they increased their reminding her (of the superiority of having good relation with Kith and kin, and of excusing others' sins), and brought her down to a critical situation, she started reminding them, and wept, saying, 'I have made a vow, and (the question of) vow is a difficult one.' They (Al-Miswar and 'Abdur-Rahman) persisted in their appeal till she spoke with 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair and she manumitted forty slaves as an expiation for her vow. Later on, whenever she remembered her vow, she used to weep so much that her veil used to become wet with her tears. Narated By Anas bin Malik Allah's Apostle said, 'Do not hate one another, nor be jealous of one another; and do not desert one another, but O Allah's worshipers! Be Brothers! And it is unlawful for a Muslim to desert his brother Muslim (and not to talk to him) for more than three nights.' Narated By Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari Allah's Apostle said, 'It is not lawful for a man to desert his brother Muslim for more than three nights. (It is unlawful for them that) when they meet, one of them turns his face away from the other, and the other turns his face from the former, and the better of the two will be the one who greets the other first.' Narated By 'Aisha Allah's Apostle said, ' I know whether you are angry or pleased.' I said, 'How do you know that, Allah's Apostle?' He said, 'When you are pleased, you say, 'Yes, by the Lord of Muhammad,' but when you are angry, you say, 'No, by the Lord of Abraham!' ' I said, 'Yes, I do not leave, except your name.' Narated By 'Aisha (The wife of the Prophet) 'I do not remember my parents believing in any religion other than the Religion (of Islam), and our being visited by Allah's Apostle in the morning and in the evening. One day, while we were sitting in the house of Abu Bakr (my father) at noon, someone said, 'This is Allah's Apostle coming at an hour at which he never used to visit us.' Abu Bakr said, 'There must be something very urgent that has brought him at this hour.' The Prophet said, 'I have been allowed to go out (of Mecca) to migrate.'' Narated By Anas bin Malik Allah's Apostle visited a household among the Ansars, and he took a meal with them. When he intended to leave, he asked for a place in that house for him, to pray so a mat sprinkled with water was put and he offered prayer over it, and invoked for Allah's Blessing upon them (his hosts). Narated By 'Abdullah 'Umar saw a silken cloak over a man (for sale) so he took it to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Buy this and wear it when the delegate come to you.' He said, 'The silk is worn by one who will have no share (in the Here-after).' Some time passed after this event, and then the Prophet sent a (similar) cloak to him. 'Umar brought that cloak back to the Prophet and said, 'You have sent this to me, and you said about a similar one what you said?' The Prophet said, 'I have sent it to you so that you may get money by selling it.' Because of this, Ibn 'Umar used to hate the silken markings on the garments. Narated By Anas When 'Abdur-Rahman came to us, the Prophet established a bond of brotherhood between him and Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi'. Once the Prophet said, 'As you (O 'AbdurRahman) have married, give a wedding banquet even if with one sheep.' Narated By 'Asim I said to Anas bin Malik, 'Did it reach you that the Prophet said, 'There is no treaty of brotherhood in Islam'?' Anas said, 'The Prophet made a treaty (of brotherhood) between the Ansar and the Quraish in my home.' Narated By 'Aisha Rifa'a Al-Qurazi divorced his wife irrevocably (i.e. that divorce was the final). Later on 'Abdur-Rahman bin Az-Zubair married her after him. She came to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I was Rifa'a's wife and he divorced me thrice, and then I was married to 'Abdur-Rahman bin AzZubair, who, by Allah has nothing with him except something like this fringe, O Allah's Apostle,' showing a fringe she had taken from her covering sheet. Abu Bakr was sitting with the Prophet while Khalid Ibn Said bin Al-As was sitting at the gate of the room waiting for admission. Khalid started calling Abu Bakr, 'O Abu Bakr! Why don't you reprove this lady from what she is openly saying before Allah's Apostle?' Allah's Apostle did nothing except smiling, and then said (to the lady), 'Perhaps you want to go back to Rifa'a? No, (it is not possible), unless and until you enjoy the sexual relation with him ('Abdur Rahman), and he enjoys the sexual relation with you.' Narated By Sa'd 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked permission of Allah's Apostle to see him while some Quraishi women were sitting with him and they were asking him to give them more financial support while raising their voices over the voice of the Prophet. When 'Umar asked permission to enter, all of them hurried to screen themselves the Prophet admitted 'Umar and he entered, while the Prophet was smiling. 'Umar said, 'May Allah always keep you smiling, O Allah's Apostle! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you !' The Prophet said, 'I am astonished at these women who were with me. As soon as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves.' 'Umar said, 'You have more right, that they should be afraid of you, O Allah's Apostle!' And then he ('Umar) turned towards them and said, 'O enemies of your souls! You are afraid of me and not of Allah's Apostle?' The women replied, 'Yes, for you are sterner and harsher than Allah's Apostle.' Allah's Apostle said, 'O Ibn Al-Khattab! By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a way, he follows a way other than yours!' Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar When Allah Apostle was in Ta'if (trying to conquer it), he said to his companions, 'Tomorrow we will return (to Medina), if Allah wills.' Some of the companions of Allah's Apostle said, 'We will not leave till we conquer it.' The Prophet said, 'Therefore, be ready to fight tomorrow.' On the following day, they (Muslims) fought fiercely (with the people of Ta'if) and suffered many wounds. Then Allah's Apostle said, 'Tomorrow we will return (to Medina), if Allah wills.' His companions kept quiet this time. Allah's Apostle then smiled. Narated By Abu Huraira A man came to the Prophet and said, 'I have been ruined for I have had sexual relation with my wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting)' The Prophet said (to him), 'Manumit a slave.' The man said, ' I cannot afford that.' The Prophet said, '(Then) fast for two successive months continuously'. The man said, 'I cannot do that.' The Prophet said, '(Then) feed sixty poor persons.' The man said, 'I have nothing (to feed them with).' Then a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet. The Prophet said, 'Where is the questioner? Go and give this in charity.' The man said, '(Shall I give this in charity) to a poorer person than l? By Allah, there is no family in between these two mountains (of Medina) who are poorer than we.' The Prophet then smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and said, 'Then (feed) your (family with it). Narated By Anas bin Malik While I was going along with Allah's Apostle who was wearing a Najrani Burd (sheet) with a thick border, a Bedouin overtook the Prophet and pulled his Rida' (sheet) forcibly. I looked at the side of the shoulder of the Prophet and noticed that the edge of the Rida' had left a mark on it because of the violence of his pull. The Bedouin said, 'O Muhammad! Order for me some of Allah's property which you have.' The Prophet turned towards him, (smiled) and ordered that he be given something. Narated By Jarir The Prophet did not screen himself from me (had never prevented me from entering upon him) since I embraced Islam, and whenever he saw me, he would receive me with a smile. Once I told him that I could not sit firm on horses. He stroked me on the chest with his hand, and said, 'O Allah! Make him firm and make him a guiding and a rightly guided man. Narated By Zainab bint Um Salama Um Sulaim said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Verily Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it essential for a woman to take a bath after she had a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?' He said, 'Yes, if she notices discharge. On that Um Salama laughed and said, 'Does a woman get a (nocturnal sexual) discharge?' He said, 'How then does (her) son resemble her (his mother)?' Narated By 'Aisha I never saw the Prophet laughing to an extent that one could see his palate, but he always used to smile only. Narated By Anas A man came to the Prophet on a Friday while he (the Prophet) was delivering a sermon at Medina, and said, 'There is lack of rain, so please invoke your Lord to bless us with the rain.' The Prophet looked at the sky when no cloud could be detected. Then he invoked Allah for rain. Clouds started gathering together and it rained till the Medina valleys started flowing with water. It continued raining till the next Friday. Then that man (or some other man) stood up while the Prophet was delivering the Friday sermon, and said, 'We are drowned; Please invoke your Lord to withhold it (rain) from us' The Prophet smiled and said twice or thrice, 'O Allah! Please let it rain round about us and not upon us.' The clouds started dispersing over Medina to the right and to the left, and it rained round about Medina and not upon Medina. Allah showed them (the people) the miracle of His Prophet and His response to his invocation. Narated By 'Abdullah The Prophet said, 'Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'The signs of a hypocrite are three Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie; and whenever he promises, he breaks his promise; and whenever he is entrusted, he betrays (proves to be dishonest)'. Narated By Samura bin Jundub The Prophet said, 'I saw (in a dream), two men came to me.' Then the Prophet narrated the story (saying), 'They said, 'The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection.'' Narated By Hudhaifa From among the people, Ibn Um 'Abd greatly resembled Allah's Apostles in solemn gate and good appearance of piety and in calmness and sobriety from the time he goes out of his house till he returns to it. But we do not know how he behaves with his family when he is alone with them. Narated By Tariq 'Abdullah said, 'The best talk is Allah's Book (Qur'an), and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad.' Narated By Abu Musa The Prophet said None is more patient than Allah against the harmful saying. He hears from the people they ascribe children to Him, yet He gives them health and (supplies them with) provision.' Narated By 'Abdullah The Prophet divided and distributed something as he used to do for some of his distributions. A man from the Ansar said, 'By Allah, in this division the pleasure of Allah has not been intended.' I said, 'I will definitely tell this to the Prophet.' So I went to him while he was sitting with his companions and told him of it secretly. That was hard upon the Prophet and the color of his face changed, and he became so angry that I wished I had not told him. The Prophet then said, 'Moses was harmed with more than this, yet he remained patient.' Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet did something and allowed his people to do it, but some people refrained from doing it. When the Prophet learned of that, he delivered a sermon, and after having sent Praises to Allah, he said, 'What is wrong with such people as refrain from doing a thing that I do? By Allah, I know Allah better than they, and I am more afraid of Him than they.' Narated By Abu Said Al-Khudri The Prophet was more shy than a virgin in her separate room. And if he saw a thing which he disliked, we would recognize that (feeling) in his face. Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'If a man says to his brother, O Kafir (disbeliever)!' Then surely one of them is such (i.e., a Kifir).' Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar Allah's Apostle said, 'If anyone says to his brother, 'O misbeliever! Then surely, one of them such.' Narated By Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak The Prophet said, 'Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam (i.e. if he swears by saying that he is a non-Muslim in case he is telling a lie), then he is as he says if his oath is false and whoever commits suicide with something, will be punished with the same thing in the (Hell) fire, and cursing a believer is like murdering him, and whoever accuses a believer of disbelief, then it is as if he had killed him.' Narated By Jabir bin 'Abdullah Mu'adh bin Jabal used to pray with the Prophet and then go to lead his people in prayer. Once he led the people in prayer and recited Surat-al-Baqara. A man left (the row of the praying people) and offered (light) prayer (separately) and went away. When Mu'adh came to know about it, he said. 'He (that man) is a hypocrite.' Later that man heard what Mu'adh said about him, so he came to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We are people who work with our own hands and irrigate (our farms) with our camels. Last night Mu'adh led us in the (night) prayer and he recited Sura-al-Baqara, so I offered my prayer separately, and because of that, he accused me of being a hypocrite.' The Prophet called Mu'adh and said thrice, 'O Mu'adh! You are putting the people to trials? Recite 'Wash-shamsi wad-uhaha' (91) or'Sabbih isma Rabbi ka-l-A'la' (87) or the like.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said 'Whoever amongst you swears, (saying by error) in his oath 'By Al-Lat and Al-Uzza', then he should say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And whoever says to his companions, 'Come let me gamble' with you, then he must give something in charity (as an expiation for such a sin).' Narated By Ibn 'Umar That he found 'Umar bin Al-Khattab in a group of people and he was swearing by his father. So Allah's Apostle called them, saying, 'Verily! Allah forbids you to swear by your fathers. If one has to take an oath, he should swear by Allah or otherwise keep quiet.' Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet entered upon me while there was a curtain having pictures (of animals) in the house. His face got red with anger, and then he got hold of the curtain and tore it into pieces. The Prophet said, 'Such people as paint these pictures will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection.' Narated By Abu Mas'ud A man came to the Prophet and said 'I keep away from the morning prayer only because such and such person prolongs the prayer when he leads us in it. The narrator added I had never seen Allah's Apostle more furious in giving advice than he was on that day. He said, 'O people! There are some among you who make others dislike good deeds) cause the others to have aversion (to congregational prayers). Beware! Whoever among you leads the people in prayer should not prolong it, because among them there are the sick, the old, and the needy.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar While the Prophet was praying, he saw sputum (on the wall) of the mosque, in the direction of the Qibla, and so he scraped it off with his hand, and the sign of disgust (was apparent from his face) and then said, 'Whenever anyone of you is in prayer, he should not spit in front of him (in prayer) because Allah is in front of him.' Narated By Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani A man asked Allah's Apostle about 'Al-Luqata' (a lost fallen purse or a thing picked up by somebody). The Prophet said, 'You should announce it publicly for one year, and then remember and recognize the tying material of its container, and then you can spend it. If its owner came to you, then you should pay him its equivalent.' The man said, 'O Allah's Apostle! What about a lost sheep?' The Prophet said, 'Take it because it is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf.' The man again said, 'O Allah's Apostle! What about a lost camel?' Allah's Apostle became very angry and furious and his cheeks became red (or his face became red), and he said, 'You have nothing to do with it (the camel) for it has its food and its water container with it till it meets its owner.' Narated By Zaid bin Thabit Allah's Apostle made a small room (with a palm leaf mat). Allah's Apostle came out (of his house) and prayed in it. Some men came and joined him in his prayer. Then again the next night they came for the prayer, but Allah's Apostle delayed and did not come out to them. So they raised their voices and knocked the door with small stones (to draw his attention). He came out to them in a state of anger, saying, 'You are still insisting (on your deed, i.e. Tarawih prayer in the mosque) that I thought that this prayer (Tarawih) might become obligatory on you. So you people, offer this prayer at your homes, for the best prayer of a person is the one which he offers at home, except the compulsory (congregational) prayer.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger.' Narated By Sulaiman bin Sarad Two men abused each other in front of the Prophet while we were sitting with him. One of the two abused his companion furiously and his face became red. The Prophet said, 'I know a word (sentence) the saying of which will cause him to relax if this man says it. Only if he said, 'I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the outcast.' ' So they said to that (furious) man, 'Don't you hear what the Prophet is saying?' He said, 'I am not mad.' Narated By Abu Huraira A man said to the Prophet , 'Advise me! 'The Prophet said, 'Do not become angry and furious.' The man asked (the same) again and again, and the Prophet said in each case, 'Do not become angry and furious.' Narated By Abu As-Sawar Al-Adawi 'Imran bin Husain said, 'The Prophet said, 'Haya' does not bring anything except good.' Thereupon Bashir bin Ka'b said, 'It is written in the wisdom paper Haya leads to solemnity; Haya leads to tranquility (peace of mind).' 'Imran said to him, 'I am narrating to you the saying of Allah's Apostle and you are speaking about your paper (wisdom book)?' Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar The Prophet passed by a man who was admonishing his brother regarding Haya and was saying, 'You are very shy, and I am afraid that might harm you.' On that, Allah's Apostle said, 'Leave him, for Haya is (a part) of Faith.' Narated By Abu Said The Prophet was shier than a veiled virgin girl. Narated By Abu Mas'ud The Prophet said, 'One of the sayings of the early Prophets which the people have got is If you don't feel ashamed do whatever you like.' (See Hadith No 690, 691, Vol 4) Narated By Um Salama Um Sulaim came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Verily, Allah does not feel shy to tell the truth. If a woman gets a nocturnal sexual discharge (has a wet dream), is it essential for her to take a bath? He replied, 'Yes if she notices a discharge.' Narated By Ibn 'Umar The Prophet said, 'The example of a believer is like a green tree, the leaves of which do not fall.' The people said. 'It is such-and-such tree It is such-and-such tree.' I intended to say that it was the date palm tree, but I was a young boy and felt shy (to answer). The Prophet said, 'It is the date-palm tree.' Ibn 'Umar added, ' I told that to 'Umar who said, 'Had you said it, I would have preferred it to such-and such a thing.' Narated By Thabit That he heard Anas saying, 'A woman came to the Prophet offering herself to him in marriage, saying, 'Have you got any interest in me (i.e. would you like to marry me?)' Anas's daughter said, 'How shameless that woman was!' On that Anas said, 'She is better than you for, she presented herself to Allah's Apostle (for marriage).' Narated By Abu Musa That when Allah's Apostle sent him and Mu'adh bin Jabal to Yemen, he said to them, 'Facilitate things for the people (treat the people in the most agreeable way), and do not make things difficult for them, and give them glad tidings, and let them not have aversion (i.e. to make the people hate good deeds) and you should both work in cooperation and mutual understanding, obey each other.' Abu Musa said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We are in a land in which a drink named Al Bit' is prepared from honey, and another drink named Al-Mizr is prepared from barley.' On that, Allah's Apostle said, 'All intoxicants (i.e. all alcoholic drinks) are prohibited.' Narated By Anas bin Malik The Prophet said, 'Make things easy for the people, and do not make it difficult for them, and make them calm (with glad tidings) and do not repulse (them).' Narated By 'Aisha Whenever Allah's Apostle was given the choice of one of two matters he would choose the easier of the two as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful, he would not approach it. Allah's Apostle never took revenge over anybody for his own sake but (he did) only when Allah's legal bindings were outraged, in which case he would take revenge for Allah's sake.' Narated By Al-Azraq bin Qais We were in the city of Al-Ahwaz on the bank of a river which had dried up. Then Abu Barza Al-Aslami came riding a horse and he started praying and let his horse loose. The horse ran away, so Abu Barza interrupted his prayer and went after the horse till he caught it and brought it, and then he offered his prayer. There was a man amongst us who was (from the Khawari) having a different opinion. He came saying. 'Look at this old man! He left his prayer because of a horse.' On that Abu Barza came to us and said, 'Since the time I left Allah's Apostle, nobody has admonished me; My house is very far from this place, and if I had carried on praying and left my horse, I could not have reached my house till night.' Then Abu Barza mentioned that he had been in the company of the Prophet, and that he had seen his leniency. Narated By Abu Huraira A Bedouin urinated in the mosque, and the people rushed to beat him. Allah's Apostle ordered them to leave him and pour a bucket or a tumbler (full) of water over the place where he has passed urine. The Prophet then said, ' You have been sent to make things easy (for the people) and you have not been sent to make things difficult for them.' Narated By Anas bin Malik The Prophet used to mix with us to the extent that he would say to a younger brother of mine, 'O father of 'Umar! What did the Nughair (a kind of bird) do?' Narated By 'Aisha I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13) Narated By 'Aisha A man asked permission to see the Prophet. He said, 'Let Him come in; What an evil man of the tribe he is! (Or, What an evil brother of the tribe he is).' But when he entered, the Prophet spoke to him gently in a polite manner. I said to him, 'O Allah's Apostle! You have said what you have said, then you spoke to him in a very gentle and polite manner? The Prophet said, 'The worse people, in the sight of Allah are those whom the people leave (undisturbed) to save themselves from their dirty language.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin Abu Mulaika The Prophet was given a gift of a few silken cloaks with gold buttons. He distributed them amongst some of his companions and put aside one of them for Makhrama. When Makhrama came, the Prophet said, 'I kept this for you.' (Aiyub, the sub-narrator held his garment to show how the Prophet showed the cloak to Makhrama who had something unfavorable about his temper.) Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'A believer is not stung twice (by something) out of one and the same hole.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Amr Allah's Apostle entered upon me and said, 'Have I not been informed that you offer prayer all the night and fast the whole day?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Do not do so; Offer prayer at night and also sleep; Fast for a few days and give up fasting for a few days because your body has a right on you, and your eye has a right on you, and your guest has a right on you, and your wife has a right on you. I hope that you will have a long life, and it is sufficient for you to fast for three days a month as the reward of a good deed, is multiplied ten times, that means, as if you fasted the whole year.' I insisted (on fasting more) so I was given a hard instruction. I said, 'I can do more than that (fasting)' The Prophet said, 'Fast three days every week.' But as I insisted (on fasting more) so I was burdened. I said, 'I can fast more than that.' The Prophet said, 'Fast as Allah's prophet David used to fast.' I said, 'How was the fasting of the prophet David?' The Prophet said, 'One half of a year (i.e. he used to fast on alternate days).' Narated By Abu Shuraih Al-Ka'bi Allah's Apostle said, Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously. The guest's reward is To provide him with a superior type of food for a night and a day and a guest is to be entertained with food for three days, and whatever is offered beyond that, is regarded as something given in charity. And it is not lawful for a guest to stay with his host for such a long period so as to put him in a critical position.' Narated By Malik Similarly as above (156) adding, 'Who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet.' (i.e. abstain from dirty and evil talk, and should think before uttering). Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should not hurt his neighbor and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should talk what is good or keep quiet.' Narated By Uqba bin 'Amir We said, 'O Allah's Apostle! You send us out and it happens that we have to stay with such people as do not entertain us. What do you think about it?' Allah's Apostle said to us, 'If you stay with some people and they entertain you as they should for a guest, accept is; but if they do not do then you should take from them the right of the guest, which they ought to give.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously; and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should unite the bond of kinship (i.e. keep good relation with his Kith and kin); and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should talk what is good or keep quit.' Narated By Abu Juhaifa The Prophet established a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu Darda'. Salman paid a visit to Abu ad-Darda and found Um Ad-Darda' dressed in shabby clothes and asked her why she was in that state.?' She replied, 'Your brother, Abu Ad-Darda is not interested in the luxuries of this world.' In the meantime Abu Ad-Darda came and prepared a meal for him (Salman), and said to him, '(Please) eat for I am fasting.' Salman said, 'I am not going to eat, unless you eat.' So Abu Ad-Darda' ate. When it was night, Abu Ad-Darda' got up (for the night prayer). Salman said (to him), 'Sleep,' and he slept. Again Abu-Ad-Darda' got up (for the prayer), and Salman said (to him), 'Sleep.' When it was the last part of the night, Salman said to him, 'Get up now (for the prayer).' So both of them offered their prayers and Salman said to Abu Ad-Darda','Your Lord has a right on you; and your soul has a right on you; and your family has a right on you; so you should give the rights of all those who have a right on you). Later on Abu Ad-Darda' visited the Prophet and mentioned that to him. The Prophet, said, 'Salman has spoken the truth.' Narated By 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr Abu Bakr invited a group of people and told me, 'Look after your guests.' Abu Bakr added, I am going to visit the Prophet and you should finish serving them before I return.' 'Abdur-Rahman said, So I went at once and served them with what was available at that time in the house and requested them to eat.' They said, 'Where is the owner of the house (i.e., Abu Bakr)?' 'Abdur-Rahman said, 'Take your meal.' They said, 'We will not eat till the owner of the house comes.' 'Abdur-Rahman said, 'Accept your meal from us, for if my father comes and finds you not having taken your meal yet, we will be blamed severely by him, but they refused to take their meals. So I was sure that my father would be angry with me. When he came, I went away (to hide myself) from him. He asked, 'What have you done (about the guests)?' They informed him the whole story. Abu Bakr called, 'O 'Abdur Rahman!' I kept quiet. He then called again. 'O 'Abdur-Rahman!' I kept quiet and he called again, 'O ignorant (boy)! I beseech you by Allah, if you hear my voice, then come out!' I came out and said, 'Please ask your guests (and do not be angry with me).' They said, 'He has told the truth; he brought the meal to us.' He said, 'As you have been waiting for me, by Allah, I will not eat of it tonight.' They said, 'By Allah, we will not eat of it till you eat of it.' He said, I have never seen a night like this night in evil. What is wrong with you? Why don't you accept your meals of hospitality from us?' (He said to me), 'Bring your meal.' I brought it to him, and he put his hand in it, saying, 'In the name of Allah. The first (state of fury) was because of Satan.' So Abu Bakr ate and so did his guests. Narated By 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr Abu Bakr came with a guest or some guests, but he stayed late at night with the Prophet and when he came, my mother said (to him), 'Have you been detained from your guest or guests tonight?' He said, 'Haven't you served the supper to them?' She replied, 'We presented the meal to him (or to them), but he (or they) refused to eat.' Abu Bakr became angry, rebuked me and invoked Allah to cause (my) ears to be cut and swore not to eat of it!' I hid myself, and he called me, 'O ignorant (boy)!' Abu Bakr's wife swore that she would not eat of it and so the guests or the guest swore that they would not eat of it till he ate of it. Abu Bakr said, 'All that happened was from Satan.' So he asked for the meals and ate of it, and so did they. Whenever they took a handful of the meal, the meal grew (increased) from underneath more than that mouthful. He said (to his wife), 'O, sister of Bani Firas! What is this?' She said, 'O, pleasure of my eyes! The meal is now more than it had been before we started eating' So they ate of it and sent the rest of that meal to the Prophet. It is said that the Prophet also ate of it. Narated By Rafi bin Khadij and Sahl bin Abu Hathma 'Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisa bin Mas'ud went to Khaibar and they dispersed in the gardens of the date-palm trees. 'Abdullah bin Sahl was murdered. Then 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, Huwaiyisa and Muhaiyisa, the two sons of Mas'ud, came to the Prophet and spoke about the case of their (murdered) friend. 'AbdurRahman who was the youngest of them all, started talking. The Prophet said, 'Let the older (among you) speak first.' So they spoke about the case of their (murdered) friend. The Prophet said, 'Will fifty of you take an oath whereby you will have the right to receive the blood money of your murdered man,' (or said, '…your companion'). They said, 'O Allah's Apostle! The murder was a thing we did not witness.' The Prophet said, 'Then the Jews will release you from the oath, if fifty of them (the Jews) should take an oath to contradict your claim.' They said, 'O Allah's Apostle! They are disbelievers (and they will take a false oath).' Then Allah's Apostle himself paid the blood money to them. Narated By Ibn 'Umar Allah's Apostle said, 'Inform me of a tree which resembles a Muslim, giving its fruits at every season by the permission of its Lord, and the leaves of which do not fall.' I thought of the date-palm tree, but I disliked to speak because Abu Bakr and 'Umar were present there. When nobody spoke, the Prophet said, 'It is the date-palm tree' When I came out with my father, I said, 'O father! It came to my mind that it was the date-palm tree.' He said, 'What prevented you from saying it?' Had you said it, it would have been more dearer to me than such-and-such a thing (fortune).' I said, 'Nothing prevented me but the fact that neither you nor Abu Bakr spoke, so I disliked to speak (in your presence).' Narated By Ubai bin Ka'b Allah's Apostle said, 'Some poetry contains wisdom.' Narated By Jundub While the Prophet was walking, a stone hit his foot and stumbled and his toe was injured. He then (quoting a poetic verse) said, 'You are not more than a toe which has been bathed in blood in Allah's Cause.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'The most true words said by a poet were the words of Labid. He said, i.e. 'Verily, everything except Allah is perishable and Umaiya bin Abi As-Salt was about to embrace Islam.'' Narated By Salama bin Al-Aqwa We went out with Allah's Apostle to Khaibar and we travelled during the night. A man amongst the people said to 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa', 'Won't you let us hear your poetry?' 'Amir was a poet, and so he got down and started (chanting Huda) reciting for the people, poetry that keep pace with the camel's footsteps, saying, 'O Allah! Without You we would not have been guided on the right path, neither would we have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So please forgive us what we have committed. Let all of us be sacrificed for Your cause and when we meet our enemy, make our feet firm and bestow peace and calmness on us and if they (our enemy) will call us towards an unjust thing we will refuse. The infidels have made a hue and cry to ask others help against us. Allah's Apostle said, 'Who is that driver (of the camels)?' They said, 'He is 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa.'' He said, 'May Allah bestow His mercy on him.' A man among the people said, Has Martyrdom been granted to him, O Allah's Prophet! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer.' We reached (the people of) Khaibar and besieged them till we were stricken with severe hunger but Allah helped the Muslims conquer Khaibar. In the evening of its conquest the people made many fires. Allah's Apostle asked, 'What are those fires? For what are you making fires?' They said, 'For cooking meat.' He asked, 'What kind of meat?' They said, 'Donkeys' meat.' Allah's Apostle said, 'Throw away the meat and break the cooking pots.' A man said, O Allah's Apostle! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the cooking pots?' He said, 'You can do that too.' When the army files aligned in rows (for the battle), 'Amir's sword was a short one, and while attacking a Jew with it in order to hit him, the sharp edge of the sword turned back and hit 'Amir's knee and caused him to die. When the Muslims returned (from the battle), Salama said, Allah's Apostle saw me pale and said, 'What is wrong with you?'' I said, 'Let my parents be sacrificed for you! The people claim that all the deeds of Amir have been annulled.' The Prophet asked, 'Who said so?' I replied, 'So-and-so and so-and-so and Usaid bin Al-Hudair Al-Ansari said, 'Whoever says so is telling a lie. Verily, 'Amir will have double reward.'' (While speaking) the Prophet put two of his fingers together to indicate that, and added, 'He was really a hard-working man and a Mujahid (devout fighter in Allah's Cause) and rarely have there lived in it (i.e., Medina or the battle-field) an 'Arab like him.' Narated By Anas bin Malik The Prophet came to some of his wives among whom there was Um Sulaim, and said, 'May Allah be merciful to you, O Anjasha! Drive the camels slowly, as they are carrying glass vessels!' Abu Qalaba said, 'The Prophet said a sentence (i.e. the above metaphor) which, had anyone of you said it, you would have admonished him for it'. Narated By 'Aisha Hassan bin Thabit asked the permission of Allah's Apostle to lampoon the pagans (in verse). Allah's Apostle said, 'What about my fore-fathers (ancestry)?' Hassan said (to the Prophet) 'I will take you out of them as a hair is taken out of dough.' Narrated Hisham bin 'Urwa that his father said, 'I called Hassan with bad names in front of 'Aisha.' She said, 'Don't call him with bad names because he used to defend Allah's Apostle (against the pagans).' Narated By Al-Haitham bin Abu Sinan that he heard Abu Huraira in his narration, mentioning that the Prophet said, 'A Muslim brother of yours who does not say dirty words.' and by that he meant Ibn Rawaha, 'said (in verse) 'We have Allah's Apostle with us who recites the Holy Qur'an in the early morning time. He gave us guidance and light while we were blind and astray, so our hearts are sure that whatever he says, will certainly happen. He does not touch his bed at night, being busy in worshipping Allah while the pagans are sound asleep in their beds.'' Narated By Abu Salama bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf That he heard Hassan bin Thabit AlAnsari asking the witness of Abu Huraira, saying, 'O Abu- Huraira! I beseech you by Allah (to tell me). Did you hear Allah's Apostle saying' 'O Hassan ! Reply on behalf of Allah's Apostle. O Allah ! Support him (Hassan) with the Holy Spirit (Gabriel).'?' Abu Huraira said, 'Yes.' Narated By Al-Bara The Prophet said to Hassan, 'Lampoon them (the pagans) in verse, and Gabriel is with you.' Narated By Ibn 'Umar The Prophet said, 'It is better for a man to fill the inside of his body with pus than to fill it with poetry.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle; said, 'It is better for anyone of you that the inside of his body be filled with pus which may consume his body, than it be filled with poetry.' Narated By 'Aisha Allah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu'ais asked my permission to enter after the verses of Al-Hijab (veiling the ladies) was revealed, and I said, 'By Allah, I will not admit him unless I take permission of Allah's Apostle for it was not the brother of Al-Qu'ais who had suckled me, but it was the wife of Al-Qu'ais, who had suckled me.' Then Allah's Apostle entered upon me, and I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! The man has not nursed me but his wife has nursed me.' He said, 'Admit him because he is your uncle (not from blood relation, but because you have been nursed by his wife), Taribat Yaminuki.' 'Urwa said, 'Because of this reason, 'Aisha used to say Foster suckling relations render all those things (marriages etc.) illegal which are illegal because of the corresponding blood relations.' Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet intended to return home after the performance of the Hajj, and he saw Safiya standing at the entrance of her tent, depressed and sad because she got her menses. The Prophet said, 'Aqra Halqa!… An expression used in the Quraish dialect 'You will detain us.' The Prophet then asked (her), 'Did you perform the Tawaf Al-Ifada on the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhul-Hijja)?' She said, 'Yes.' The Prophet said, 'Then you can leave (with us).' Narated By Um Hani (The daughter of Abu Talib) I visited Allah's Apostle in the year of the Conquest of Mecca and found him taking a bath, and his daughter, Fatima was screening him. When I greeted him, he said, 'Who is it?' I replied, 'I am Um Hani, the daughter of Abu Talib.' He said, 'Welcome, O Um Hani ! ' When the Prophet had finished his bath, he stood up and offered eight Rakat of prayer while he was wrapped in a single garment. When he had finished his prayer, I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! My maternal brother assumes (or claims) that he will murder some man whom I have given shelter, i.e., so-and-so bin Hubaira.' Allah's Apostle said, 'O Um Hani! We shelter him whom you have sheltered.' Um Hani added, 'That happened in the forenoon.' Narated By Anas The Prophet saw a man driving a Badana (a camel for sacrifice) and said (to him). 'Ride it.' The man said, 'It is a Bandana.' The Prophet said, 'Ride on it.' The man said, 'It is a Bandana.' The Prophet said, Ride on it, woe to you!' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle saw a man driving a Badana (a camel for sacrifice) and said to him, 'Ride on it.' The man said, 'O Allah's Apostle! It is a Bandana.' The Prophet said, 'Ride on it, woe to you!' on the second or third time. Narated By Anas bin Malik Allah's Apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah's Apostle said, 'Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!' Narated By Abu Bakra A man praised another man in front of the Prophet. The Prophet said thrice, 'Wailaka (Woe on you) ! You have cut the neck of your brother!' The Prophet added, 'If it is indispensable for anyone of you to praise a person, then he should say, 'I think that suchand-such person (is so-and-so), and Allah is the one who will take his accounts (as he knows his reality) and none can sanctify anybody before Allah (and that only if he knows well about that person.)'. Narated By Abu Said Al-Khudri While the Prophet was distributing (war booty etc.) one day, Dhul Khawaisira, a man from the tribe of Bani Tamim, said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Act justly.' The Prophets said, 'Woe to you! Who else would act justly if I did not act justly?' 'Umar said (to the Prophet), 'Allow me to chop his neck off.' The Prophet said, 'No, for he has companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of (you compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider his prayer inferior to theirs, and similarly his fasting inferior to theirs, but they will desert Islam (go out of religion) as an arrow goes through the victim's body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Nady is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, for the arrow has gone out too fast even for the excretions and blood to smear over it. Such people will come out at the time of difference among the (Muslim) people and the sign by which they will be recognized, will be a man whose one of the two hands will look like the breast of a woman or a lump of flesh moving loosely.' Abu Said added, 'I testify that I heard that from the Prophet and also testify that I was with 'Ali when 'Ali fought against those people. The man described by the Prophet was searched for among the killed, and was found, and he was exactly as the Prophet had described him.' Narated By Abu Huraira A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I am ruined!' The Prophet said, 'Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you) !' The man said, 'I have done sexual intercourse with my wife while fasting in Ramadan.' The Prophet said, 'Manumit a slave.' The man said, ' I cannot afford that. ' The Prophet said; 'Then fast for two successive months.' The man said, ' I have no power to do so.' The Prophet said, 'Then feed sixty poor persons.' The man said, 'I have nothing (to feed sixty persons). Later a basket full of dates were brought to the Prophet and he said (to the man), 'Take it and give it in charity.' The man said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Shall I give it to people other than my family? By Him in Whose Hand my life is, there is nobody poorer than me in the whole city of Medina.' The Prophet smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and said, 'Take it.' Az-Zuhri said (that the Prophet said). 'Wailaka.' Narated By Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri A Bedouin said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Inform me about the emigration.' The Prophet said, 'Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you)! The question of emigration is a difficult one. Have you got some camels?' The Bedouin said, 'Yes.' The Prophet said, 'Do you pay their Zakat?' He said, 'Yes.' The Prophet said, 'Go on doing like this from beyond the seas, for Allah will not let your deeds go in vain.' Narated By Ibn 'Umar The Prophet said, 'Wailakum' (woe to you) or 'waihakum' (May Allah be merciful to you).' Shu'ba is not sure as to which was the right word. 'Do not become disbelievers after me by cutting the necks of one another.' Narated By Anas A Bedouin came to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! When will The Hour be established?' The Prophet said, 'Wailaka (Woe to you), What have you prepared for it?' The Bedouin said, 'I have not prepared anything for it, except that I love Allah and H is Apostle.' The Prophet said, 'You will be with those whom you love.' We (the companions of the Prophet) said, 'And will we too be so? The Prophet said, 'Yes.' So we became very glad on that day. In the meantime, a slave of Al-Mughira passed by, and he was of the same age as I was. The Prophet said. 'If this (slave) should live long, he will not reach the geriatric old age, but the Hour will be established.' Narated By 'Abdullah The Prophet said, 'Everyone will be with those whom he loves.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! What do you say about a man who loves some people but cannot catch up with their good deeds?' Allah's Apostle said, 'Everyone will be with those whom he loves.' Narated By Abu Musa It was said to the Prophet; , 'A man may love some people but he cannot catch up with their good deeds?' The Prophet said, 'Everyone will be with those whom he loves.' Narated By Anas bin Malik A man asked the Prophet 'When will the Hour be established O Allah's Apostle?' The Prophet said, 'What have you prepared for it?' The man said, ' I haven't prepared for it much of prayers or fast or alms, but I love Allah and His Apostle.' The Prophet said, 'You will be with those whom you love.' Narated By Ibn 'Abbas Allah's Apostle said to Ibn Saiyad 'I have hidden something for you in my mind; What is it?' He said, 'Ad-Dukh.' The Prophet said, 'Ikhsa.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Umar 'Umar bin Al-Khattab set out with Allah's Apostle, and a group of his companions to Ibn Saiyad. They found him playing with the boys in the fort or near the Hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn Saiyad was nearing his puberty at that time, and he did not notice the arrival of the Prophet till Allah's Apostle stroked him on the back with his hand and said, 'Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?' Ibn Saiyad looked at him and said, 'I testify that you are the Apostle of the unlettered ones (illiterates)'. Then Ibn Saiyad said to the Prophets. 'Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?' The Prophet denied that, saying, 'I believe in Allah and all His Apostles,' and then said to Ibn Saiyad, 'What do you see?' Ibn Saiyad said, 'True people and liars visit me.' The Prophet said, 'You have been confused as to this matter.' Allah's Apostle added, 'I have kept something for you (in my mind).' Ibn Saiyad said, 'Ad-Dukh.' The Prophet said, 'Ikhsa (you should be ashamed) for you cannot cross your limits.' 'Umar said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop off h is neck.' Allah's Apostle said (to Umar). 'Should this person be him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot over-power him; and should he be someone else, then it will be no use your killing him.' 'Abdullah bin 'Umar added Later on Allah's Apostle and Ubai bin Ka'b Al-Ansari (once again) went to the garden in which Ibn Saiyad was present. When Allah's Apostle entered the garden, he started hiding behind the trunks of the date-palms intending to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before the latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was Lying on his bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his mumur were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the Prophet and said, 'O Saf (the nickname of Ibn Saiyad)! Here is Muhammad!' Ibn Saiyad stopped his murmuring. The Prophet said, 'If his mother had kept quiet, then I would have learnt more about him.' 'Abdullah added Allah's Apostle stood up before the people (delivering a sermon), and after praising and glorifying Allah as He deserved, he mentioned the Ad-Dajjal saying, 'I warn you against him, and there has been no prophet but warned his followers against him. Noah warned his followers against him but I am telling you about him, something which no prophet has told his people of, and that is Know that he is blind in one eye where as Allah is not so.' Narated By Ibn 'Abbas When the delegation of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet, he said, 'Welcome, O the delegation who have come! Neither you will have disgrace, nor you will regret.' They said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We are a group from the tribe of Ar-Rabi'a, and between you and us there is the tribe of Mudar and we cannot come to you except in the sacred months. So please order us to do something good (religious deeds) so that we may enter Paradise by doing that, and also that we may order our people who are behind us (whom we have left behind at home) to follow it.' He said, 'Four and four ' offer prayers perfectly , pay the Zakat, (obligatory charity), fast the month of Ramadan, and give one-fifth of the war booty (in Allah's cause), and do not drink in (containers called) Ad-Duba,' Al-Hantam, An-Naqir and Al-Muzaffat.' Narated By Ibn 'Umar The Prophet said, 'For every betrayer (perfidious person), a flag will be raised on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be announced (publicly) 'This is the betrayal (perfidy) of so-and-so, the son of so-and-so.'' Narated By Ibn 'Umar Allah's Apostle said, 'A flag will be fixed on the Day of Resurrection for every betrayer, and it will be announced (publicly in front of everybody), 'This is the betrayal (perfidy) so-and-so, the son of so-and-so.' Narated By 'Aisha The Prophet said, 'None of you should say Khabuthat Nafsi, but he is recommended to say 'Laqisat Nafsi.' Narated By Sal The Prophet said, 'None of you should say Khabuthat Nafsi but he is recommended to say 'Laqisat Nafsi.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'Allah said, 'The offspring of Adam abuse the Dahr (Time), and I am the Dahr; in My Hands are the night and the day.!'' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Don't call the grapes Al-Karm, and don't say 'Khaibat-ad-Dahri, for Allah is the Dahr.' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'They say Al-Karm (the generous), and in fact Al-Karm is the heart of a believer.' Narated By 'Ali I never heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you,' except for Sa'd (bin Abi Waqqas). I heard him saying, 'Throw! (arrows), Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you !' (The sub-narrator added, 'I think that was in the battle of Uhud.') Narated By Anas bin Malik That he and Abu Talha were coming in the company of the Prophet towards Medina), while Safiya (the Prophet's wife) was riding behind him on his shecamel. After they had covered a portion of the way suddenly the foot of the she-camel slipped and both the Prophet and the woman (i.e., his wife, Safiya) fell down. Abu Talha jumped quickly off his camel and came to the Prophet (saying.) 'O Allah's Apostle! Let Allah sacrifice me for you! Have you received any injury?' The Prophet said, 'No, but take care of the woman (my wife).' Abu Talha covered his face with his garment and went towards her and threw his garment over her. Then the woman got up and Abu Talha prepared their she camel (by tightening its saddle, etc.) and both of them (the Prophet and Safiya) mounted it. Then all of them proceeded and when they approached near Medina, or saw Medina, the Prophet said, 'Ayibun,' abidun, taibun, liRabbina hamidun (We are coming back (to Medina) with repentance, worshipping (our Lord) and celebrating His (our Lord's) praises'. The Prophet continued repeating these words till he entered the city of Medina. Narated By Jabir A boy was born for a man among us, and the man named him Al-Qasim. We said to him, 'We will not call you Abu-l-Qasim, nor will we respect you for that.' The Prophet was informed about that, and he said, 'Name your son 'Abdur-Rahman.' Narated By Jabi A man among us begot a boy whom he named Al-Qasim. The people said, 'We will not call him (i.e., the father) by that Kuniya (Abu-l-Qasim) till we ask the Prophet about it. The Prophet said. 'Name yourselves by my name, but do not call (yourselves) by my Kuniya.' Narated By Abu Huraira Abu-l-Qasim (The Prophet) said, 'Name yourselves by my name, but do not call yourselves by my Kuniya.' Narated By Jabir bin 'Abdullah A man among us begot a boy whom he named Al-Qasim. The people said (to him), 'We will not call you Abul-l-Qasim, nor will we please you by calling you so.' The man came to the Prophet and mentioned that to him. The Prophet said to him, 'Name your son 'Abdur-Rahman.' Narated By Al-Musaiyab That his father (Hazn bin Wahb) went to the Prophet and the Prophet asked (him), 'What is your name?' He replied, 'My name is Hazn.' The Prophet said, 'You are Sahl.' Hazn said, 'I will not change the name with which my father has named me.' Ibn Al-Musaiyab added We have had roughness (in character) ever since. Narated By Al-Musaiyab On the authority of his father similarly as above (i.e., 209). Narated By Sahl When Al-Mundhir bin Abu Usaid was born, he was brought to the Prophet who placed him on his thigh. While Abu Usaid was sitting there, the Prophet was busy with something in his hands so Abu Usaid told someone to take his son from the thigh of the Prophet. When the Prophet finished his job (with which he was busy), he said, 'Where is the boy?' Abu Usaid replied, 'We have sent him home.' The Prophet said, 'What is his name?' Abu Usaid said, '(His name is) so-and-so. ' The Prophet said, 'No, his name is Al-Mundhir.' So he called him Al-Mundhir from that day. Narated By Abu Huraira Zainab's original name was 'Barrah,' but it was said' 'By that she is giving herself the prestige of piety.' So the Prophet changed her name to Zainab. Narated By Said bin Al-Musaiyab That when his grandfather, Hazn visited the Prophet the Prophet said (to him), 'What is your name?' He said, 'My name is Hazn.' The Prophet said, ' But you are Sahl.' He said, 'I will not change my name with which my father named me.' Ibn AlMusaiyab added So we have had roughness (in character) ever since. Narated By Isma'il I asked Abi Aufa, 'Did you see Ibrahim, the son of the Prophet ?' He said, 'Yes, but he died in his early childhood. Had there been a Prophet after Muhammad then his son would have lived, but there is no Prophet after him.' Narated By Al-Bara When Ibrahim (the son of the Prophet) died, Allah's Apostle said, 'There is a wet nurse for him in Paradise.' Narated By Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari Allah's Apostle said, 'Name yourselves after me (by my name) but do not call (yourselves) by my Kuniya (1), for I am Al-Qasim (distributor), and I distribute among you Allah's blessings.' This narration has also come on the authority of Anas that the ! Prophet said so.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Name yourselves after me (by my name), but do not call yourselves by my Kuniya, and whoever sees me in a dream, he surely sees me, for Satan cannot impersonate me (appear in my figure). And whoever intentionally ascribes something to me falsely, he will surely take his place in the (Hell) Fire. Narated By Abu Musa I got a son and I took him to the Prophet who named him Ibrahim, and put in his mouth the juice of a date fruit (which he himself had chewed?, and invoked for Allah's blessing upon him, and then gave him back to me. He was the eldest son of Abii Musa. Narated By Al-Mughira bin Shuba Solar eclipse occurred on the day of Ibrahim's death (the Prophet's son). Narated By 'Aisha (The wife the Prophet) Allah's Apostle said, 'O 'Aisha! This is Gabriel sending his greetings to you.' I said, 'Peace, and Allah's Mercy be on him.' 'Aisha added The Prophet used to see things which we used not to see. Narated By Anas Once Um Sulaim was (with the women who were) in charge of the luggage on a journey, and Anjashah, the slave of the Prophet, was driving their camels (very fast). The Prophet said, 'O Anjash! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (i.e., ladies).' Narated By Anas The Prophet was the best of all the people in character. I had a brother called Abu 'Umar, who, I think, had been newly weaned. Whenever he (that child) was brought to the Prophet the Prophet used to say, 'O Abu 'Umar! What did Al-Nughair (nightingale) (do)?' It was a nightingale with which he used to play. Sometimes the time of the Prayer became due while he (the Prophet) was in our house. He would order that the carpet underneath him be swept and sprayed with water, and then he would stand up (for the prayer) and we would line up behind him, and he would lead us in prayer. Narated By Sahl bin Sad The most beloved names to 'Ali was Abu Turab, and he used to be pleased when we called him by it, for none named him Abu Turab (for the first time), but the Prophet. Once 'Ali got angry with (his wife) Fatima, and went out (of his house) and slept near a wall in the mosque. The Prophet came searching for him, and someone said, 'He is there, Lying near the wall.' The Prophet came to him while his ('Ali's) back was covered with dust. The Prophet started removing the dust from his back, saying, and “Get up, O Abu Turab!' Narated By Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, 'The most awful name in Allah's sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings).' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'The most awful (meanest) name in Allah's sight.' Sufyan said more than once, 'The most awful (meanest) name in Allah's sight is (that of) a man calling himself king of kings.' Sufyan said, 'Somebody else (i.e. other than Abu Az-Zinad, a subnarrator) says What is meant by 'The king of kings' is 'Shahan Shah.' Narated By Usama bin Zaid That Allah's Apostle rode over a donkey covered with a Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was riding behind him. He was visiting Sa'd bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. They proceeded till they passed by a gathering in which 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before 'Abdullah bin Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims, pagan idolators and Jews, and among the Muslims there was 'Abdullah bin Rawaha. When a cloud of dust raised by (the movement of) the animal covered that gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and said, 'Do not cover us with dust.' Allah's Apostle greeted them, stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul said to him, 'O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in our gatherings, but if somebody comes to you, you can preach to him.' On that 'Abdullah bin Rawaha said 'Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Call on us in our gathering, for we love that.' So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were about to fight with one another. Allah's Apostle kept on quietening them till all of them became quiet, and then Allah's Apostle rode his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Sa'd bin 'Ubada. Allah's Apostle said, 'O Sa'd! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?' (meaning 'Abdullah bin Unbar). 'He said so-and-so.' Sa'd bin Ubada said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Let my father be sacrificed for you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to you the Book, Allah sent the Truth which was revealed to you at the time when the people of this town had decided to crown him ('Abdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler. So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he was choked by that, and that caused him to behave in such an impolite manner which you had noticed.' So Allah's Apostle excused him. (It was the custom of) Allah's Apostle and his companions to excuse the pagans and the people of the scripture (Christians and Jews) as Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient when annoyed (by them). Allah said 'You shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before you… and from the pagans (3.186) He also said 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed… (2.109) So Allah's Apostle used to apply what Allah had ordered him by excusing them till he was allowed to fight against them. When Allah's Apostle had fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of Quraish, and Allah's Apostle and his companions had returned with victory and booty, bringing with them some of the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of the Quraish as captives. 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul and the pagan idolators who were with him, said, 'This matter (Islam) has now brought out its face (triumphed), so give Allah's Apostle the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam.)'. Then they became Muslims. Narated By 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith bin Naufal Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Did you benefit Abu Talib with anything as he used to protect and take care of you, and used to become angry for you?' The Prophet said, 'Yes, he is in a shallow place of Fire. But for me he would have been in the lowest part of the Fire.' Narated By Anas bin Malik Once the Prophet was on one of his journeys, and the driver of the camels started chanting (to let the camels go fast). The Prophet said to him. '(Take care) Drive slowly with the glass vessels, O Anjasha! Waihaka (May Allah be Merciful to you).' Narated By Anas The Prophet was on a journey and a slave named Anjasha was chanting (singing) for the camels to let them go fast (while driving). The Prophet said, 'O Anjasha, drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels!' Abu Qilaba said, 'By the glass vessels' he meant the women (riding the camels).' Narated By Anas bin Malik The Prophet had a Had (a camel driver) called Anjasha, and he had a nice voice. The Prophet said to him, '(Drive) slowly, O Anjasha! Do not break the glass vessels!' And Qatada said, '(By vessels') he meant the weak women.' Narated By Anas bin Malik There was a state of fear in Medina. Allah's Apostle rode a horse belonging to Abu Talha (in order to see the matter). The Prophet said, 'We could not see anything, and we found that horse like a sea (fast in speed).' Narated By 'Aisha Some people asked Allah's Apostle about the fore-tellers. Allah's Apostle said to them, 'They are nothing (i.e., liars).' The people said, 'O Allah's Apostle ! Sometimes they tell something which comes out to be true.' Allah's Apostle said, 'That word which comes to be true is what a jinx snatches away by stealing and then pours it in the ear of his fore-teller with a sound similar to the cackle of a hen, and then they add to it one-hundred lies.' Narated By Jabir bin 'Abdullah That he heard Allah's Apostle saying. 'Then there was a pause in the revelation of the Divine Inspiration to me. Then while I was walking all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky, and I raised my sight towards the sky and saw the same angel who had visited me in the cave of Hira,' sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth.' Narated By Ibn 'Abbas Once I stayed overnight at the house of Maimuna and the Prophet was there with her. When it was the last third of the night, or some part of the night, the Prophet got up looking towards the sky and recited 'Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of Night and Day, there are indeed signs for men of u understanding.' (3.190) Narated By Abu Musa That he was in the company of the Prophet in one of the gardens of Medina and in the hand of the Prophet there was a stick, and he was striking (slowly) the water and the mud with it. A man came (at the gate of the garden) and asked permission to enter. The Prophet said, 'Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise. 'I went, and behold! It was Abu Bakr. So I opened the gate for him and informed him of the glad tidings of entering Paradise. Then another man came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet said, 'Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise.' Behold! It was 'Umar. So I opened the gate for him and gave him the glad tidings of entering Paradise. Then another man came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet was sitting in a leaning posture, so he sat up and said, 'Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise with a calamity which will befall him or which will take place.' I went, and behold ! It was Uthman. So I opened the gate for him and gave him the glad tidings of entering Paradise and also informed him of what the Prophet had said (about a calamity). 'Uthman said, 'Allah Alone Whose Help I seek (against that calamity). Narated By 'Ali We were with the Prophet in a funeral procession, and he started scraping the ground with a small stick and said, 'There is none amongst you but has been assigned a place (either) in Paradise and (or) in the Hell-Fire.' The people said (to him), 'Should we not depend upon it?' He said carry on doing (good) deeds, for everybody will find easy such deeds as will lead him to his destined place. He then recited 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah…' (92.5) Narated By Um Salama (One night) the Prophet woke up and said, 'Subhan Allah ! How many treasures have been (disclosed) sent down! And how many afflictions have been descended! Who will go and wake the sleeping lady-occupants up of these dwellings (for praying)?' (He meant by this his wives.) The Prophet added, 'A well-dressed soul (person) in this world may be naked in the 'Hereafter.' 'Umar said, 'I asked the Prophet, 'Have you divorced your wives?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Allahu Akbar.'' Narated By Safiya bint Huyai The wife of the Prophet that she went to Allah's Apostle while he was in Itikaf (staying in the mosque) during the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. She spoke to him for an hour (a while) at night and then she got up to return home. The Prophet got up to accompany her, and when they reached the gate of the mosque opposite the dwelling place of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet, two Ansari men passed by, and greeting Allah's Apostle , they quickly went ahead. Allah's Apostle said to them, 'Do not be in a hurry She is Safiya, the daughter of Huyai.' They said, 'Subhan Allah! O Allah's Apostle (how dare we suspect you).' That was a great thing for both of them. The Prophet then said, 'Satan runs in the body of Adam's son (i.e. man) as his blood circulates in it, and I was afraid that he (Satan) might insert an evil thought in your hearts.' Narated By 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal Al-Muzani The Prophet forbade the throwing of stones (with the thumb and the index or middle finger), and said 'It neither hunts a game nor kills (or hurts) an enemy, but it gouges out an eye or breaks a tooth.' Narated By Anas bin Malik Two men sneezed before the Prophet. The Prophet said to one of them, 'May Allah bestow His Mercy on you,' but he did not say that to the other. On being asked (why), the Prophet said, 'That one praised Allah (at the time of sneezing), while the other did not praise Allah.' Narated By Al-Bara The Prophet ordered us to do seven (things) and forbade us from seven (other things) He ordered us to pay a visit to the sick, to follow funeral possessions, to say May Allah be merciful to you to a sneezer, - if he says Praise be to Allah, to accept invitation (invitation to a wedding banquet), to return greetings, to help the oppressed, and to help others to fulfill their oaths (provided it was not sinful). And he forbade us from seven (things) to wear golden rings or golden bangles, to wear silk (cloth), Dibaj, Sundus and Mayathir. Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises Allah, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to say May Allah be merciful to you (Yar-hamuka-l-lah). But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one must try one's best to stop it, if one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan will laugh at him.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, ' If anyone of you sneezes, he should say 'AlHamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah), and his (Muslim) brother or companion should say to him, 'Yar-hamuka-l-lah' (May Allah bestow his Mercy on you). When the latter says 'Yar-hamukallah', the former should say, 'Yahdikumul-lah wa Yuslih balakum' (May Allah give you guidance and improve your condition).' Narated By Anas Two men sneezed before the Prophet and he said Tashmit to one of them, while he did not say Tashmit to the other. So that man said, 'O Allah's Apostle! You said Tashmit to that fellow but you did not say Tashmit to me. 'The Prophet said, 'That man praised Allah, but you did not praise Allah.' Narated By Abu Huraira The Prophet said, 'Allah loves sneezing but dislikes yawning; so if anyone of you sneezes and then praises Allah, every Muslim who hears him (praising Allah) has to say Tashmit to him. But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so if one of you yawns, he should try his best to stop it, for when anyone of you yawns, Satan laughs at him.'

I asked the Prophet about the game killed by a Mi'rad (i.e. a sharp-edged piece of wood or a piece of wood provided with a sharp piece of iron used for hunting). He said, 'If the game is killed with its sharp edge, eat of it, but if it is killed with its shaft, with a hit by its broad side then the game is (unlawful to eat) for it has been beaten to death.' I asked him about the game killed by a trained hound. He said, 'If the hound catches the game for you, eat of it, for killing the game by the hound, is like its slaughtering. But if you see with your hound or hounds another dog, and you are afraid that it might have shared in hunting the game with your hound and killed it, then you should not eat of it, because you have mentioned Allah's name on (sending) your hound only, but you have not mentioned it on some other hound.'

I asked Allah's Apostle about the Mi'rad. He said, 'If you hit the game with its sharp edge, eat it, but if the Mi'rad hits the game with its shaft with a hit by its broad side do not eat it, for it has been beaten to death with a piece of wood. (i.e. unlawful).' I asked, 'If I let loose my trained hound after a game?' He said, 'If you let loose your trained hound after game, and mention the name of Allah, then you can eat.' I said, 'If the hound eats of the game?' He said 'Then you should not eat of it, for the hound has hunted the game for itself and not for you.' I said, 'Sometimes I send my hound and then I find some other hound with it?' He said 'Don't eat the game, as you have mentioned the Name of Allah on your dog only and not on the other.'

I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We let loose our trained hounds after a game?' He said, 'Eat what they hunt for you.' I said, 'Even if they killed (the game)?' He replied, 'Even if they killed (the game).' I said, 'We also hit (the game) with the Mi'rad?' He said, 'Eat of the animal which the Mi'rad kills by piercing its body, but do not eat of the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi'rad.'

Abu Thalaba Al-Khushani

I said, 'O Allah's Prophet! We are living in a land ruled by the people of the Scripture; Can we take our meals in their utensils? In that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow and with my hound that is not trained and with my trained hound. Then what is lawful for me to eat?' He said, 'As for what you have mentioned about the people of the Scripture, if you can get utensils other than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than theirs, wash their utensils and eat out of it. If you hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it. and if you hunt something with your trained hound after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it, and if you hunt something with your untrained hound (and get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it.'

Abdullah bin Maghaffal

That he saw a man throwing stones with two fingers (at something) and said to him, 'Do not throw stones, for Allah's Apostle has forbidden throwing stones, or e used to dislike it.' 'Abdullah added Throwing stones will neither hunt the game, nor kill (or hurt) an enemy, but it may break a tooth or gouge out an eye.' Afterwards 'Abdullah once again saw the man throwing stones. He said to him, 'I tell you that Allah's Apostle has forbidden or disliked the throwing the stones (in such a way), yet you are throwing stones! I shall not talk to you for such-and-such a period.'

I asked Allah's Apostle. 'We hunt with the help of these hounds.' He said, 'If you let loose your trained hounds after a game, and mention the name of Allah, then you can eat what the hounds catch for you, even if they killed the game. But you should not eat of it if the hound has eaten of it, for then it is likely that the hound has caught the game for itself. And if other hounds join your hound in hunting the game, then do not eat of it.'
|
Adi bin Hatim
|
The Prophet said, 'If you let loose your hound after a game and mention Allah's Name on sending it, and the hound catches the game and kills it, then you can eat of it. But if the hound eats of it, then you should not eat thereof, for the hound has caught it for itself. And if along with your hound, join other hounds, and Allah's Name was not mentioned at the time of their sending, and they catch an animal and kill it, you should not ea of it, for you will not know which of them has killed it. And if you have thrown an arrow at the game and then find it (dead) two or three days later and, it bears no mark other than the wound inflicted by your arrow, then you can eat of it. But if the game is found (dead) in water, then do not eat of it.' And it has also been narrated by 'Adi bin Hatim that he asked the Prophet 'If a hunter throws an arrow at the game and after tracing it for two or three days he finds it dead but still bearing his arrow, (can he eat of it)?' The Prophet replied, 'He can eat if he wishes.'

I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I let loose my hound after a game and mention Allah's Name on sending it.' The Prophet said, 'If you let loose your hound after a game and you mention Allah's Name on sending it and the hound catches and kills the game and eats of it, then you should not eat of it, for it has killed it for itself.' I said, 'Sometimes when I send my hound after a game, I find another hound along with it and I do not know which of them has caught the game.' He said, 'You must not eat of it because you have not mentioned, the Name of Allah except on sending your own hound, and you did not mention it on the other hound.' Then I asked him about the game hunted with a Mi'rad (i.e. a sharp edged piece of wood or a piece of wood provided with a sharp piece of iron used for hunting). He said, 'If the game is killed with its sharp edge, you can eat of it, but if it is killed by its broad side (shaft), you cannot eat of it, for then it is like an animal beaten to death with a piece of wood.'

Adi Bin Hatim
|
I asked Allah's Apostle, 'We hunt with these hounds.' He said, 'If you send your trained hounds after a game and mention Allah's Name on sending, you can eat of what they catch for you. But if the hound eats of the game, then you must not eat of it, for I am afraid that the hound caught it for itself, and if another hound joins your hounds (during the hunt), you should not eat of the game.'

Abu Thalaba Al-Khushani
|
I came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We are living in the land of the people of the Scripture and we take our meals in their utensils, and in the land there is game and I hunt with my bow and trained or untrained hounds; please tell me what is lawful for us of that.' He said, 'As for your saying that you are living in the land of the people of the Scripture and that you eat in their utensils, if you can get utensils other than theirs, do not eat in their utensils, but if you do not find (other than theirs), then wash their utensils and eat in them. As for your saying that you are in the land of game, if you hung something with your bow, and have mentioned Allah's Name while hunting, then you can eat (the game). And if you hunt something with your trained hound, and have mentioned Allah's Name on sending it for hunting then you can eat (the game). But if you hunt something with your untrained hound and you were able to slaughter it before its death, you can eat of it.'

Abu Qatada
|
That once he was with Allah's Apostle (on the way to Mecca). When he had covered some of the way to Mecca, he and some companions of his, who were in the state of lhram. remained behind the Prophet while Abu Qatada himself was not in the state of Ihram. Abu Qatada, seeing an onager rode his horse and asked his companions to hand him a whip, but they refused. He then asked them to hand him his spear, but they refused. Then he took it himself and attacked the onager and killed it. Some of the Companions of Allah's Apostle ate of it, but some others refused to eat. When they met Allah's Apostle they asked him about that. He said, 'It was meal given to you by Allah.'
|
Abu Qatada
|
(The same Hadith above, but he added); The Prophet asked, 'Is there any of its meat left with you?'
|
Abu Qatada
|
I was with the Prophet (on a journey) between Mecca and Medina, and all of them, (i.e. the Prophet and his companions) were in the state of Ihram, while I was not in that state. I was riding my horse and I used to be fond of ascending mountains. So while I was doing so I noticed that the people were looking at something. I went to see what it was, and behold it was an onager. I asked my companions, 'What is that?' They said, 'We do not know.' I said, 'It is an onager.' They said, 'It is what you have seen.' I had left my whip, so I said to them, 'Hand to me my whip.' They said, 'We will not help you in that (in hunting the onager).' I got down, took my whip and chased the animal (on my horse) and did not stop till I killed it. I went to them and said, 'Come on, carry it!' But they said, 'We will not even touch it.' At last I alone carried it and brought it to them. Some of them ate of it and some refused to eat of it. I said (to them), 'I will ask the Prophet about it (on your behalf).' When I met the Prophet, I told him the whole story. He said to me, 'Has anything of it been left with you?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Eat, for it is a meal Allah has offered to you.'

Jabir

We went out in a campaign and the army was called The Army of the Khabt, and Abu 'Ubaida was our commander. We were struck with severe hunger. Then the sea threw a huge dead fish called Al-'Anbar, the like of which had never been seen. We ate of it for half a month, and then Abu 'Ubaida took one of its bones (and made an arch of it) so that a rider could easily pass under it.
|
Jabir
|
The Prophet sent us as an army unit of three hundred warriors under the command of Abu 'Ubaida to ambush a caravan of the Quraish. But we were struck with such severe hunger that we ate the Khabt (desert bushes), so our army was called the Army of the Khabt. Then the sea threw a huge fish called Al-'Anbar and we ate of it for half a month and rubbed our bodies with its fat till our bodies became healthy. Then Abu Ubaida took one of its ribs and fixed it over the ground and a rider passed underneath it. There was a man amongst us who slaughtered three camels when hunger became severe, and he slaughtered three more, but after that Abu 'Ubaida forbade him to do so.

We are living in the land of the people of the Scripture, and we take our meals in their utensils, and there is game in that land and I hunt with my bow and with my trained hound and with my untrained hound.' The Prophet said, 'As for your saying that you are in the land of people of the Scripture, you should not eat in their utensils unless you find no alternative, in which case you must wash the utensils and then eat in them As for your saying that you are in the land of game, if you hunt something with your bow, mention Allah's Name (while hunting the game) and eat; and if you hunt something with your trained hound, mention Allah's Name on sending and eat; and if you hunt something with your untrained hound and get it alive, slaughter it and you can eat of it'

In the evening of the day of the conquest of Khaibar, the army made fires (for cooking). The Prophet said, 'For what have you made these fires?' They said, 'For cooking the meat of domestic donkeys.' He said, 'Throw away what is in the cooking pots and break the pots.' A man from the people got up and said, 'Shall we throw the contents of the cooking pots and then wash the pots (instead of breaking them)?' The Prophet said, 'Yes, you can do either.'
|
Rafi bin Khadij
|
We were with the Prophet in Dhul-Hulaifa and there the people were struck with severe hunger. Then we got camels and sheep as war booty (and slaughtered them). The Prophet was behind all the people. The people hurried and fixed the cooking pots (for cooking) but the Prophet came there and ordered that the cooking pots be turned upside down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding ten sheep as equal to one camel. One of the camels ran away and there were a few horses with the people. They chased the camel but they got tired, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet said, 'Among these animals some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs away from you, treat it in this way.' I said. 'We hope, or we are afraid that tomorrow we will meet the enemy and we have no knives, shall we slaughter (our animals) with canes?' The Prophet said, 'If the killing tool causes blood to gush out and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am telling you why A tooth is a bone, and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians.'

Allah's Apostle said that he met Zaid bin 'Amr Nufail at a place near Baldah and this had happened before Allah's Apostle received the Divine Inspiration. Allah's Apostle presented a dish of meat (that had been offered to him by the pagans) to Zaid bin 'Amr, but Zaid refused to eat of it and then said (to the pagans), 'I do not eat of what you slaughter on your stonealtars (Ansabs) nor do I eat except that on which Allah's Name has been mentioned on slaughtering.'
|
Jundub bin Sufyan Al-Bajali
|
Once during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle we offered some animals as sacrifices. Some people slaughtered their sacrifices before the (Id) prayer, so when the Prophet finished his prayer, he saw that they had slaughtered their sacrifices before the prayer. He said, 'Whoever has slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the prayer, should slaughter (another sacrifice) in lieu of it; and whoever has not yet slaughtered it till we have prayed; should slaughter (it) by mentioning Allah's Name.'

But do not slaughter with a nail or a tooth, for the nail is the knife of Ethiopians and a tooth is a bone.' Suddenly a camel ran away and it was stopped (with an arrow). The Prophet then said, 'Of these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts; so if one of them runs away from you and you cannot catch it, treat it in this manner (i.e. shoot it with an arrow).'

Among the people there was sitting a red-faced man who did not come near the food. Abu Musa said (to him), 'Come on (and eat), for I have seen Allah's Apostle eating of it (i.e. chicken).' He said, 'I have seen it eating something (dirty) and since then I have disliked it, and have taken an oath that I shall not eat it ' Abu Musa said, 'Come on, I will tell you (or narrate to you). Once I went to Allah s Apostle with a group of Al-Ash'ariyin, and met him while he was angry, distributing some camels of Rakat. We asked for mounts but he took an oath that he would not give us any mounts, and added, 'I have nothing to mount you on' In the meantime some camels of booty were brought to Allah's Apostle and he asked twice, 'Where are Al-Ash'ariyin?' So he gave us five white camels with big humps. We stayed for a short while (after we had covered a little distance), and then I said to my companions, 'Allah's Apostle has forgotten his oath. By Allah, if we do not remind Allah's Apostle of his oath, we will never be successful.' So we returned to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We asked you for mounts, but you took an oath that you would not give us any mounts; we think that you have forgotten your oath.' He said, 'It is Allah Who has given you mounts. By Allah, and Allah willing, if I take an oath and later find something else better than that. then I do what is better and expiate my oath.''

I will tell you why As for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians.' The quick ones among the people got the war booty while the Prophet was behind the people. So they placed the cooking pots on the fire, but the Prophet ordered the cooking pots to be turned upside down. Then he distributed (the war booty) among them, considering one camel as equal to ten sheep. Then a camel belonging to the first party of people ran away and they had no horses with them, so a man shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it.

Sometimes when we are in battles or on a journey we want to slaughter (animals) but we have no knives.' He said, 'Listen! If you slaughter the animal with anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, provided that the slaughtering instrument is not a tooth or a nail, as the tooth is a bone and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians.'
|
Al-Bara
|
The Prophet said (on the day of Idal-Adha), 'The first thing we will do on this day of ours, is to offer the ('Id) prayer and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. Whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna (tradition), and whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the prayer, what he offered was just meat he presented to his family, and that will not be considered as Nusak (sacrifice).' (On hearing that) Abu Burda bin Niyar got up, for he had slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, and said, 'I have got a six month old ram.' The Prophet said, 'Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be sufficient for any-one else (as a sacrifice after you). Al-Bara' added The Prophet said, 'Whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the tradition of the Muslims.'

He said, 'This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters of Adam, so perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the others, but do not perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba.' 'Aisha added When we were at Mina, beef was brought to me and I asked, 'What is this?' They (the people) said, 'Allah's Apostle has slaughtered some cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives.'
|
Anas bin Malik
|
The Prophet said on the day of Nahr, 'Whoever has slaughtered his sacrifice before the prayer, should repeat it (slaughter another sacrifice).' A man got up and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! This is a day on which meat is desired.' He then mentioned his neighbors saying, 'I have a six month old ram which is to me better than the meat of two sheep.' The Prophet allowed him to slaughter it as a sacrifice, but I do not know whether this permission was valid for other than that man or not. The Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and then the people went towards some sheep and distributed them among themselves.

Abu Bakra
|
The Prophet said, 'Time has come back to its original state which it had on the day Allah created the Heavens and the Earth. The year is twelve months, four of which are sacred, three of them are in succession, namely Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul Hijja and Muharram, (the fourth being) Rajab Mudar which is between Juma'da (ath-thamj and Sha'ban. The Prophet then asked, 'Which month is this?' We said, 'Allah and his Apostle know better.' He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it by a name other than its real name. He said, 'Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?' We said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Which town is this?' We said, 'Allah and His Apostle know better.' He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it t,y a name other than its real name. He said, 'isn't it the town (of Mecca)?' We replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'What day is today?' We replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better.' He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it by a name other than its real name. He said, 'Isn't it the day of Nahr?' We replied, 'Yes.' He then said, 'Your blood, properties and honor are as sacred to one another as this day of yours in this town of yours in this month of yours. You will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me by cutting the necks of each other. It is incumbent upon those who are present to convey this message to those who are absent, for some of those to whom it is conveyed may comprehend it better than some of those who have heard it directly.' (Muhammad, the sub-narrator, on mentioning this used to say The Prophet then said, 'No doubt! Haven't I delivered (Allah's) Message (to you)? Haven't I delivered Allah's message (to you)?'

An uncle of mine called Abu Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before the 'Id prayer. So Allah's Apostle said to him, 'Your (slaughtered) sheep was just mutton (not a sacrifice).' Abu Burda said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I have got a domestic kid.' The Prophet said, 'Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be permissible for anybody other than you' The Prophet added, 'Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before the ('Id) prayer, he only slaughtered for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after the prayer, he offered his sacrifice properly and followed the tradition of the Muslims.'

Abu Burda slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the ('Id) prayer whereupon the Prophet said to him, 'Slaughter another sacrifice instead of that.' Abu Burda said, 'I have nothing except a Jadha'a.' (Shu'ba said Perhaps Abu Burda also said that Jadha'a was better than an old sheep in his opinion.) The Prophet said, '(Never mind), slaughter it to make up for the other one, but it will not be sufficient for anyone else after you.'

Allah's Apostle entered upon me at Sarif while I was weeping (because I was afraid that I would not be able to perform the ,Hajj). He said, 'What is wrong with you? Have you got your period?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters of Adam, so perform the ceremonies of the Hajj as the pilgrims do, but do not perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba.' Allah's Apostle slaughtered some cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives.

I heard the Prophet delivering a sermon, and he said (on the Day of 'Id-Allah. a), 'The first thing we will do on this day of ours is that we will offer the 'Id prayer, then we will return and slaughter our sacrifices; and whoever does so, then indeed he has followed our tradition, and whoever slaughtered his sacrifice (before the prayer), what he offered was just meat that he presented to his family, and that was not a sacrifice.' Abu Burda got up and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer and I have got a Jadha'a which is better than an old sheep.' The Prophet said, 'Slaughter it to make up for that, but it will not be sufficient for anybody else after you.'

Anas

The Prophet said, 'Whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the 'Id prayer, should repeat it (slaughter another one).' A man said 'This is the day on which meat is desired.' Then he mentioned the need of his neighbors (for meat) and the Prophet seemed to accept his excuse. The man said, 'I have a Jadha'a which is to me better than two sheep.' The Prophet allowed him (to slaughter it as a sacrifice). But I do not know whether this permission was general for all Muslims or not. The Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and the people went towards their sheep and slaughtered them.

Abu Burda said, 'I have a Jadha'a which is better than two old sheep; shall I slaughter it?' The Prophet said, 'Yes, but it will not be sufficient for anyone after you.'

That he came to 'Aisha and said to her, 'O Mother of the Believers! There is a man who sends a Hadi to Ka'ba and stays in his city and requests that his Hadi camel be garlanded while he remains in a state of Ihram from that day till the people finish their Ihram (after completing all the ceremonies of Hajj)' (What do you say about it?) Masruq added, I heard the clapping of her hands behind the curtain. She said, 'I used to twist the garlands for the Hadi of Allah's Apostle and he used to send his Hadi to Ka'ba but he never used to regard as unlawful what was lawful for men to do with their wives till the people returned (from the Hajj).'

That once he was not present (at the time of 'Id-alAdha) and when he came. some meat was presented to him. and the people said (to him), 'This is the meat of our sacrifices' He said. 'Take it away; I shall not taste it. (In his narration) Abu Sa'id added I got up and went to my brother, Abu Qatada (who was his maternal brother and was one of the warriors of the battle of Badr) and mentioned that to him He Sad. 'A new verdict was given in your absence (i.e., meat of sacrifices was allowed to be stored and eaten later on).'

The Prophet said, 'Whoever has slaughtered a sacrifice should not keep anything of Its meat after three days.' When it was the next year the people said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Shall we do as we did last year?' He said, ' Eat of it and feed of it to others and store of it for in that year the people were having a hard time and I wanted you to help (the needy).'
|
Aisha

We used to salt some of the meat of sacrifice and present it to the Prophet at Medina. Once he said, 'Do not eat (of that meat) for more than three days.' That was not a final order, but (that year) he wanted us to feed of it to others, Allah knows better.

The freed slave of Ibn Azhar that he witnessed the Day of 'Idal-Adha with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. 'Umar offered the 'Id prayer before the sermon and then delivered the sermon before the people, saying, 'O people! Allah's Apostle has forbidden you to fast (on the first day of) each of these two 'Ida, for one of them is the Day of breaking your fast, and the other is the one, on which you eat the meat of your sacrifices.'

(In continuation of 478). Then I witnessed the 'Id with 'Uthman bin 'Affan, and that was on a Friday. He offered the prayer before the sermon, saying, 'O people! Today you have two 'Its (festivals) together, so whoever of those who live at Al-'Awali (suburbs) would like to wait for the Jumua prayer, he may wait, and whoever would like to return (home) Is granted my permission to do so.' Then I witnessed (the 'Its) with 'Ali bin Abi Talib, and he too offered the 'Id prayer before the sermon and then delivered the sermon before the people and said, 'Allah's Apostle has forbidden you to eat the meat of your sacrifices for more than three days.'
