Sunan al-Nasa'i — The Book of Purification

“A Bedouin stood up and urinated in the Masjid, ans the people started shouting. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to them: ‘Leave him alone, and spill a bucket of water over his urine. For you have been sent to make things easy for people, you have not been sent to make things difficult.'”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offering the (funeral) prayer for one who had died, and I heard him say in his supplication: ‘Allahummaghfir lahu warhamhu wa ‘afihi was a’fu ‘anhu, wa akrim nuzulahu wa wassi’ ,adkhalahu waghsilhu bil-ma’i wath-thalji wal-baradi wa naqqihi min al-khataya kama ynaqqath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas. (O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, keep him safe and sound and forgive him, honor the place where he settles and make his entrance wide; wash him with water and snow and hail, and cleanse him of sin as a white garment is cleansed of dirt).”

“I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performing Wudu’ like I have just done.” Then he said: “Whoever performs Wudu’ as I have done, then stands and prays two Rak’ahs without letting his thoughts wander, his previous sins will be forgiven.'”

“I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! How is Wudu’ done?’ He said: ‘As for Wudu’, when you perform Wudu’, and you wash your hands to clean them, your sins come out from between your fingers and fingertips. When you rinse your mouth and nostrils, and wash your face and hands up to the elbows, and wipe your head, and wash your feet up to the ankles, you are cleansed of all your sins. When you prostrate your face to Allah, may He be exalted, you emerge from your sins like the day your mother bore you.'” Abu Umamah said: “I said: ‘O ‘Amr bin ‘Abasah! Look at what you are saying! Was all of that given in one sitting? He said: ‘By Allah, I have grown old, my appointed time is near and I am not so poor that I should tell lies about the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I heard it with my own ears and understood it in my heart from the Messenger of Allah.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever performs Wudu’ and does it well, then says: “Ashhadu an la ilaha ill-Allah was ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluh (I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave and Messenger),” eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he may enter through whichever one he wishes.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever performs Wudu’ and does it well, then prays two Rak’ahs in which his heart and face are focused, Paradise will be his.”

“When he was the governor of Al-Madinah, Marwan mentioned that a man should perform Wudu’ after touching his penis, if he touches it iwth his hand. I did not like that and I said: ‘The one who touches it does not have to perform Wudu’.’ Marwan said: ‘Busrah bint Safwan told me that she heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mention the things for which Wudu’ should be performed, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Wudu’ should be performed after touching the penis.’ ‘Urwah said: ‘I continued to argue with Marwan until he called one of his guards and sent him to Busrah to ask her about what Marwan had narrated, and Busrah sent word saying something like that which Marwan had narrated to me from her.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray when I was lying in front of him as the bier is placed (in front of the Imam), and when he wanted to pray Witr he would nudge me with his foot.”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Perform Wudu’ from that which has been touched by fire.'”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Perform Wudu’ from that which has been touched by fire.'”

“Perform Wudu’ O son of my sister! For the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Perform Wudu’ from that which has been touched by fire.'”

It was reported that Jabir (ra) said “That last of the two matters from the Messenger ofAllah (ﷺ) was leaving off ablution from that which had been touched by fire.”

“O Messenger of Allah! Allah is not shy to tell the truth. Inform me: if a women sees in a dream what men see should she perform Ghusl from that?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to her: “Yes.” ‘Aishah said: “I expressed my displeasure and said: ‘Does a woman see that?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned to me and said: ‘May your right hand be covered with dust! How else would (her child) resemble her?'”

“Do not restrain him.” When he had finished he called from a bucket (of water) and poured over it.

“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say: ‘Allahumma tahhirni bith-thalji wal-barad wal-ma’ al-barid, Allahumma tahhirni min adh-dhunub kama yutahhar ath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas (O Allah, purify me with snow and hail and cold water, O Allah, purify me of sin as a white garment is cleansed of dirt).”

“I heard Sa’eed bin Jubair say: ‘I saw ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar pray in Jam’; he made the Iqamah and prayed Maghrib, three Rak’ahs, then he prayed ‘Isha’, two Rak’ahs, then he said: ‘This is what I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) do in this place.'”

“I heard Anas bin Malik say: ‘When the Prophet (ﷺ) halted, he would not move on until he had prayed Zuhr.’ A man said: ‘Even if it was the middle of the day?’ He said: ‘Even if it was the middle of the day.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in Maghrib prayer, then he did not come out to us until half the night had passed. Then he came out and led them in prayer, then he said: ‘The people have prayed and gone to sleep, but you are still in a state of prayer so long as you are waiting for the prayer. Were it not for the weakness of the weak and, the sickness of the sick, I would have commanded that this prayer be delayed until halfway through the night.'”

“The sun rises and with it the horn of the Shaitan, then when it is fully risen, he goes away. Then when it approaches the meridian he comes near to it, and when it has passed the zenith he goes away. Then when it is close to setting, he comes near to it, then when it has set, he goes away.” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade praying at those times.

“I heard my father say: ‘I heard ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir Al-Juhani say: There are three times during which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade us to pray in or bury our dead: When the sun has clearly stated to rise, until it is fully risen; when it is directly overhead at noon, until it has passed its zenith; and when it is close to setting, until it has fully set.'”

“There are two prayers that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never neglected to pray them in my house secretly nor publicly: Two Rak’ahs before Fajr and two Rak’ahs after ‘Asr.”

“We asked Salim bin ‘Abdullah about prayer while traveling. We said: ‘Did ‘Abdullah combine any of his prayer while traveling?’ He said: ‘No, except at Jam’.’ Then he paused, and said: ‘Safiyyah was married to him, and she sent word to him that she was in her last day in this world and the first day in the Hereafter. So he ride off in a hurry, and I was with him. The time for prayer came and the Mu’adhdhin said to him: ‘The prayer, O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman! But he kept going until it was between the time for the two prayer. Then he stopped and said to the Mu’adhdhin: “Say the Iqamah, and when I say the Taslim at the end of Zuhr, say the Iqamah (again) straight away.” So he said the Iqamah and he prayed Zuhr, two Rak’ahs, then he said the Iqamah (again) straight away, and he prayed ‘Asr, two Rak’ahs. Then he rode off quickly until the sun set and the Mu’adhdhin said to him: “The prayer, O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman!” He said: “Do what you did before.” He rode on until the starts appeared, then he stopped and said: “Say the Iqamah, then when I say the Taslim, say the Iqamah. So he said the Iqamah and he prayed Maghrib, three Rak’ahs, then he said the Iqamah (again) straight away and he prayed ‘Isha’, then he said one Taslim, turning his face. Then he said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If any one of you has urgent need that he fears he may miss, let him pray like this.'”

“I asked Ibn ‘Abbas: ‘How did the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) pray at night?’ He said: ‘He prayed eleven Rak’ahs including Witr, then he slept deeply until I could hear him snoring, then Bilal came to him and said: “The prayer, O Messenger of Allah!” Then he got up and prayed two brief Rak’ahs then led the people in prayer, and he did not perform Wudu’.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered the House (the Ka’bah), with Usamah bin Zaid, Bilal and ‘Uthman bin Talhah, and they locked the door behind them. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) opened it, I was the first one to enter. I met Bilal and asked him: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pray inside?’ He said: ‘Yes, he prayed between the two Yemeni columns.'”

“When any one of you enters the Masjid, let him pray two Rak’ahs before he sits down.”

“The messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When the call to prayer is given, do not stand up until you see me.'”

“Make your rows solid and close together, and keep your necks in line. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! I can see the shaitan entering through the gaps in the rows as if they are small sheep.”

It was narrated from Al’Irbad bin Sariyah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to send Salah on the first row three times and on the second row once.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned to face us when he stood up to pray, before he said Takbir, and said: ‘Make your rows straight and fill the gaps, for I can see you from behind my back.”‘

“After the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had prayed Asr, he would go to Banu ‘Abdul-Ashhal to speak to them, until the time for Maghrib came.” Abu Rafi said: “While the Prophet (ﷺ) was hastening to pray Maghrib, we passed by and he said: ‘Fie on you, fie on you!’ That upset me so I slowed down because I thought hat he meant me. He said: ‘What is the matter with you? Keep up!’ I said: ‘Is there something wrong?’ He said: ‘Why are you asking that? I said: ‘Because you said: “Fie on you” to me.’ He said: ‘No, that was so-and-so whom I had sent to collect Zakat from the tribe of so-and-so, and he stole a Namirah and now he is clothed with something similar made of Fire.”‘

“We asked ‘Ali about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: ‘Who among you could manage to do that?’ We said: ‘Even if we cannot do it, we still want to hear about it.’ He said: ‘When the sun reached the same height (in the east) as it reaches (in the west) at the time of ‘Asr, he would pray two rak’ahs, and when the sun reached the same height (in the east) as it reaches (in the west) at the time for Zuhr he would pray four Rak’ahs. He would pray four Rak’ahs before Zuhr and two after, and he would pray four Rak’ahs before ‘Asr, separating each two Rak’ahs with Taslim upon the angels who are close to Allah, and the prophets, and those who follow them of the believers and Muslims.”‘

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pause briefly when he had started to pray.

“When the Prophet (ﷺ) started to pray, he would say the takbir, then say: ‘Inna salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya wa mamati lillahi rabbil-alamin, la sharika lahu, wa bidhalika umirtu wa ana min al-muslimin. Allahummahdini liahsanil-amali wa ahsanil-akhlaqi la yahdi li ahsaniha illa anta wa qini sayy’al-a’mali wa sayy’al-ahaqi la yaqi sayy’aha illa ant. (Indeed my salah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of all that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded, and I am one of the Muslims. O Allah, guide me to the best of deeds and the best of manners, for none can guide to the best of them but You. And protect me from bad deeds and bad manners, for none can protect against them but You.) “

“I prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) and with Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, and they started with “All the praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The Imam is appointed to be followed, so when he says the takbir, say the takbir, and when he recites, be silent, and when he says: “Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him),” say: “Allahumma rabbana lakal-hamd (Our Lord, to You be praise).”

He heard Abu Ad-Darda say: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked: ‘Is there recitation in every prayer?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ A man among the Ansar said: ‘Is that obligatory?’ He (Abu Ad-Darda) turned to me (Kathir), as I was closest of the people to him, and said: ‘I think that if the Imam leads the people, that is sufficient for them.'”

“I heard my paternal uncle say: ‘I prayed Subh with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and in one of the rak’ahs he recited: “And tall date palms, with ranged clusters.”

He said to Marwan: “O Abu Abdul-Malik, do you recite: ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One’ and ‘Verily, We have granted you Al-Kawthar’ in maghrib?” He said: “Yes.” He (Zaid) said: “I swear by Allah, I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reciting the longer of the two long surahs in it: ‘Alif-Lam-Mim-Sad.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) often used to say when bowing and prostrating: ‘Subhanaka Rabbana wa bi Hamdika, Allahumm aghfirli (Glorfy and praise be to You, our Lord. O Allah, forgive me.).'”

“I heard ‘Awf bin Malik say: ‘I prayed Qiyam with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one night, and when he bowed, he stayed as long as it takes to recite Surat Al-Baqarah, saying: “Subhana Dhil-jabaruti wal-malakuti wal-kibriya’ wal-‘azamah (Glory be to the One Who has all power, sovereignty, magnificence and might).”

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) bowed, he said: “Allahumma laka rak`atu was laka aslamtu wa bika amantu, khasha`a laka sam`i wa basri wa `izami wa mukhi wa `asabi (O Allah, to You I have bowed and to You I have submitted and in You I have believed. My hearing, sight, bones, brain and sinews are humbled before You).”

“Some of those who prayed the Subh prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) narrated to me that when he said: Sami’Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him)’ in the second rak’ah, he stood for a while.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: on the forehead”- and he pointed with his hand- “on the nose, the hands, the knees and the ends of the feet.”

“I heard Anas (narrate) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Be moderate in prostration and do not rest your forearms along the ground like a dog.'”

“I noticed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was missing and I thought he had gone to visit one of his concubines, so I looked for him and found him prostrating and saying: ‘Rabbighfirli ma asrartu wa ma a’lant (O Allah, forgive me for what (sin) I have concealed and what I have done openly).'”

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prostrated he would say: “Allahumma laka sajadtu wa laka aslamtu wa bika amantu sajada wajhi lilladhi khalaqahu wa sawwarahu fa ahsana suratahu wa shaqqa sam’ahu wa basarahu, tabarak Allahu ahsanul-khaliqin ( O Allah, to You I have prostrated and to You I have submitted, and in You I have believed. My face has prostrated to the One Who created it and shaped it and shaped it well, and brought forth its hearing and sight. Blessed be Allah the best of Creators.)”

“I noticed the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was missing one night and I found him prostrating with the tops of his feet facing toward the Qiblah. I heard him saying: ‘A’udhu biridaka min sakhatika, wa a’udhu bimu ‘afatika min ‘uqubatika wa a’udhu bika minka la uhsi thana’an ‘alaika anta kama athnaita ‘ala nafsik (I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath; I seek refuge in Your forgiveness from Your punishment; I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot praise You enough, You are as You have praised Yourself.)”

“Ali said to me: ‘I was so close to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), closer than anyone else. I used to come to him at the end of every night, before dawn, and say: “As-salamu ‘alayka ya Nabiyy Allah (Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allah).” If he cleared his throat I would go back to my family, otherwise I would enter upon him.'”

“I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was praying, and there was a sound coming from his chest like the sound of water boiling,” meaning, he was weeping.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Zuhr or ‘Asr and said the taslim following two rak’ahs and left. Dhul-Shimalain bin ‘Amr said to him: ‘Has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘What is Dhul-Yadain saying?’ They said: ‘He is speaking the truth, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).’ So he led them in praying the two rak’ahs that he missed.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prostrated twice after the salam on the day of Dhul-Yadain.

“I asked Anas bin Malik: ‘How should I leave after I have prayed- to the right or to the left?’ He said: ‘I usually saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) leave to the right.’

“Women used to pray fajr with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and when he said the taslim they would leave, wrapped in their Mirts, unrecognizable because of the darkness.”

“Abu Al-Qasim (ﷺ) said: ‘On Friday, there is an hour when, if a Muslim slave stands in prayer and asks Allah for something at that time, He will give it to him.'” He was reducing it: lessening it.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The sun and moon do not become eclipsed for death or birth of anyone, rather they are two of the signs of Allah (SWT) the Most High, so when you see that then pray.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed two rak’ahs like this prayer of yours, and he mentioned the eclipse of the sun.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed for rain wearing a black khamisah.

“We were with Sa’eed bin Al-‘Asi in Tabaristan, and Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman was with us. He said: ‘Which of you offered the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ Hudhaifah said: ‘I did’, and he described it. He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered the fear prayer, leading one group who had formed rows behind him in praying one rak’ah, while the other group was between him and the enemy. So he led the group that was near him in praying one rak’ah, then they left and took the place of others, and the others came and he led them in praying one rak’ah.'”

‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood and the people stood with him, and he said the takbir and they said the takbir. Then he bowed, and some of them bowed, then he prostrated and they prostrated, then he stood for the second rak’ah and those who had prostrated with him moved back and guarded their brothers, and the other group came and bowed and prostrated with the Prophet (ﷺ). All the people were praying and saying the takbir, but they were guarding one another.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led them in offering the fear prayer. Some formed a row behind him and some formed a row facing the enemy. He led them in praying one rak’ah, then they moved away and the others came, and he led them in praying one rak’ah, then they got up and each (group) made up the other rak’ah.

“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to deliver the Khutbah standing, then he would sit down, then he would stand up and recite some verses and remember Allah (SWT). And his Khutbah was moderate in length, and his prayer was moderate in length.”

His grandfather said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Maghrib in the masjid of Banu ‘Abdul-Ashhal, and when he finished praying some people stood up and offered Nafl prayers. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘You should offer this prayer in your houses.'”

He met Ibn ‘Abbas and asked him about Witr. He said: “Shall I not lead you to one who knows best among the people of the world about the witr of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?” He said: “Yes.” (Ibn Abbas) said: “It is ‘Aishah. So go to her and ask her (about witr) and then come back to me and tell me the answer that she gives you.” So I went to Hakim bin Aflah and asked him to go accompany me to her. He said: “I shall not go to her, for I told her not to say anything about these two (conflicting) groups, but she refused (to accept my advice) and went on (to participate in the conflict).” I swore an oath, beseeching him (to take me to her). So he came with me and went unto her. She said to Hakim: “Who is this with you?” He said: “He is Sa’d bin Hisham.” She said: “Which Hisham?” He said: “Ibn Amir.” She supplicated for mercy for him and said: “What a good man Amir was.” He said: “O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah.” She said: “Don’t you read the Qur’an?” I said: “Yes.” She said “The character of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was the Qur’an.” He said: “I wanted to get up (and leave), then I thought of the Qiyam (night prayer) of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: “Tell me about the Qiyam of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).” She said: “Do you not recite this surah: “O you wrapped in garments?” I said: “Yes.” She said: “Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, made Qiyam Al-Lail obligatory at the beginning of this surah, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his companions prayed Qiyam Al-Lail for one year. Allah (SWT) withheld the latter part of this surah for twelve months, then he revealed the lessening (of this duty) at the end of this surah, so Qiyam Al-Lail became voluntary after it had been obligatory.” I felt inclined to stand up (and not ask anything further), then I thought of the witr of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I said: “O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).” She said: “We used to prepare his siwak and water for his ablution, and Allah (SWT) would wake him when He wished during the night. He would use the siwak, perform ablution, and then pray eight rak’ahs in which he would not sit until he reached the eighth one. Then he would sit and remember Allah (SWT) and supplicate, then he would say the taslim that we could hear. Then he would pray two rak’as sitting after uttering the taslim, then he would pray one rak’ah, and that made eleven rak’ahs, O my son! When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) grew older and put on weight, he prayed witr with seven rak’ahs, then he prayed two rak’ahs sitting down after saying the taslim, and that made nine rak’ahs. O my son, when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)offered a prayer, he liked to continue to offer it, and when sleep, sickness, or pain distracted him from praying Qiyam Al-Lail, he would pray twelve rak’ahs during the day. I am not aware of the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) having recited the whole Qur’an during a single night, or praying through the whole night until morning, or fasting a complete month, except Ramadan.” I went to Ibn ‘Abbas and told him what she had said, and he said: “She has spoken the truth. If I could go to her (and meet her face to face) I would so that she could tell me all of that verbally.”

Hs grandfather Ali bin Abi Talib said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came in to Fatimah and I, one night and woke us up to pray, then he went back to his house and prayed for part of the night, and he did not hear any movement from us. He came back to us and woke us up, and said: ‘Get up and pray.’ I sat up, rubbing my eyes, and said: ‘By Allah, we will only pray that which has decreed for us; our souls are in the hand of Allah (SWT) and if He wants to make us get up, He will make us get up.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned away, striking his hand on his thigh, saying: ‘We will only pray that which Allah (SWT) has decreed for us! But man is ever more quarrelsome than anything.'”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “I passed by the grave of Musa, peace be upon him, and he was praying in his grave.”

“I said to Aishah: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pray sitting down?’ She said: ‘Yes, after the people had worn him out.'”

“I never saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offer his voluntary prayers sitting down until one year before his death. Then he used to pray sitting down, reciting the surah so slowly that it seemed to be longer than a surah that is longer.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The one who recites the Qur’an loudly is like one who gives charity openly, and the one who recites the Qur’an silently is like the one who gives charity in secret.'”

“Ibn Umar said: “A man asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about prayer at night. He said: “Two by two, and if you fear that dawn will come, then one.'”

“I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he got up and performed wudu, cleaned his teeth while reciting this verse until he finished: ‘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 understanding.’ Then he prayed two rak’ahs, then he went back and slept until I heard him breathing deeply. Then he got up and performed wudu and cleaned his teeth. Then he prayed two rak’ahs, then he slept, then he got up and performed wudu and cleaned his teeth and prayed two rak’ahs and prayed witr with three rak’ahs.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray eleven rak’ahs at night, of which one was witr, then he would lie down on his right side.

The Prophet (ﷺ) would not omit four rak’ahs before Zuhr and two rak’ahs before Fajr.

“Hafsah told me that when dawn glowed, the Prophet (ﷺ) would pray two rak’ahs.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: “Whoever prays four rak’ahs before Zuhr and four after, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will forbid him from the Fire.”

“My father was brought on the day of Uhud and he had been mutilated. He was placed in front of the Messenger of Allah covered with a cloth. I wanted to uncover him but my people forbade m3e to do so. The Prophet ordered that he was lifted up, he heard the voice of a woman weeping. He said: ‘Who is this?’ They said: ‘This is the daughter of ‘Amr, or the sister of ‘Amr.’ He said: ‘Do not weep, or ‘She should not weep, for the angels kept on shading him with their wings until he was lifted up,””

That the Messenger of Allah offered the funeral prayer for a mother who had died in childbirth, and he stood in line with her middle.

when the Messenger of Allah came to the graveyard he would say: “As-salamu ‘alaykum ahli ad-diyari min al-mu’minin wal-muslimin wa inna I sha’ Allahu bikum lana faratun wa nahnu lakum taba’un, as’alullahal-‘afiyata lana wa lakum. (Peace by upon the inhabitants of this place among the believers and Muslims. Soon we will join you, if Allah willing. You have gone on ahead of us and we will follow you. I ask Allah to keep us and you safe and sound.)”

“I was waliking with the Messenger of Allah and he passed by the graves of the Muslims and aid: ‘They died before a great deal of evil came to them.’ Then he passed by the grave of the idolators and said: ‘They died before a great deal of good came to them.’ Then he rurned, and he saw a man walking between the graves in his sandals and he said; ‘O you with the Sibtiyah sandals, take them off”‘. (Shahih)

“We were with ‘Umar between Makkah and Al-Madinah, when he strted to tell us about the people of Badr. He said: The Messenger of Allah showed us the day before where they (the disbelivers) would fall. He said: This is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, if Allah wills.’ ‘Umar said: ‘By the One Who sent him with the truth! They did not miss those places, They were placed in a well and the Prophet came to them and called out: O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! O so-and-so, son of so-andso! Have you found what your Lord promised to be true? Of I have found what allah promised me to be true. ‘Umar said: ‘Are you speaking to bodies in which there are no souls?’ He said: ‘You do not hear what I say any better than they do.”‘

“Allah, the Mighty and Sublinm, says: ‘The son of Adam denied Me and he had no right to do so. and the son of Adam reviled Me and he had no right to do so. As for his denying Me, It is his saying that I will not resurrect him as I created him in the beginning, but resurrecting him is not more difficult for Me than creating him in the first place. And as for his reviling Me, it is his saying that Allah has taken a son, but I am Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, I beget not nor was I begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Me.”‘

“The Messenger of Allah was the most generous of people, and he was most generous in Ramadan when Jibril met him. Jibril use to meet him every night during the month of Ramadan and study Quran with him.” And he said: “When Jibril met him, the Messenger of Allah was more generous in doing good than the blowing wind.”

“When Ramadan begins, the gates of mercy are opened and the gates of Hall are closed, and the devils are chained up.”

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘D not anticipate the month until you complete the number, or you see the crescent. Then fast, and do not stop fasting until you see the crescent, or your complete thirty days.”‘ (Sahih) Al-Hajjaj bin Artah reported it in a Mursal from.

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘The month is twenty-nine days.”‘

“I said to ‘Aishah: ‘Among us there are two of the Companions of the Prophet, one of whom hastens Iftar and delays Sahur, and the other delays Iftar and hastens Sahur.’ She said: ‘Which of them is the one who hastens Ifar and delays Sahur?’ I said: “Abdullah bin Masud.’ She said: ‘That is what the Messenger of Allah used to do.”‘

“I said to ‘Aishah: ‘Among us there are two men, one of whom hastens Iftar and delays Sahur, and the other delays Iftar and hastens Sahur.’ She said; ‘Which of them is the one who hastens Iftar and delays Sahur?’ I said: “Abdullah bin Masud.’ She said; ‘This is what the Messenger of Allah used to do.”‘

“Masruq and I came to ‘Aishah, and Masruq said to her: ‘There are two men from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah both of whom are good; one of them delays the prayer and Ifar, and the other hastens the prayer and Iftar.’ ‘Aishah said: ‘Which of them is the one who hastens the prayer and Iftar?’ Masruq said: ‘That is what the Messenger of Allah used to do.”‘

“The Prophet used to fast Shaban.” ‘

“I do not know that the Messenger of Allah recited the whole Quran in one night, or prayed Qiyam until morning, or ever fasted an entire month except Ramadan.” ‘

When we get some charity we will give you some.’ Then the Messenger of Allah said: ‘O Qubaisah, charity is not permissible except for one of three: A man who undertakes a financial responsibility, so it is permissible for him to be given charity until he finds means to make him independent and to suffice him; a man who was stricken by calamity and his wealth was destroyed, so it is permissible for him to ask for help until he has enough to keep him going, them he should refrain from asking; and a man who is stricken with poverty and three wise men from among his own people testily that so-and-so is in desperate need, then it is permissible for him to ask for help until he finds means to make him independent and to suffice him. Asking for help in cases other than these, O Qubaisah, is unlawful, and the one who takes it is consuming it unlawfully.”‘

“The wives of the Prophet sent Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, to the Messenger of Allah. She asked permission to enter when he was lying with me under my cover. He gave her permission to enter, and she said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, your wives have sent me to you to ask you to be equitable with regard to the matter of the daughter of Abu Quhafah.’ I (‘Aishah) kept quiet and the Messenger of Allah said to her: ‘O my daughter! Do you not love the one whom I love?’ She said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then love this one.’ Fatimah stood up when she heard this and left the Messenger of Allah, and went back to the wives of the Prophet. She told them what she had said, and what he had said to her. They said to her: ‘We do not think that you have been of any avail to us. Go back to the Messenger of Allah and say to him: Your wives are urging you to be equitable with regard to the matter of the daughter of Abu Quhafah.’ Fatimah said: ‘No, by Allah; I will never speak to him about her again.'” ‘Aishah said: “So the wives of the Prophet sent Zainab bint Jahsh to the Messenger of Allah; she was one who was somewhat equal to me in rank in the eyes of the Messenger of Allah. And I have never seen a woman who was better in religious commitment than Zainab, more fearing of Allah, more honest in speech, more dutiful in upholding the ties of kinship, more generous in giving charity, and devoted in giving of herself in acts of charity, by means of which she sought to draw closer to Allah. But she was quick-tempered; however, she was also quick to calm down. She asked permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah when he was with ‘Aishah under her cover, in the same situation as when Fatimah had entered. The Messenger of Allah gave her permission to enter and she said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, your wives have sent me to ask you to be equitable with regard to the matter of the daughter of Abu Quhafah.’ Then she verbally abused me at length, and I was watching the Messenger of Allah to see if he would allow me to respond. Zainab went on until I realized that the Messenger of Allah would not disapprove if I responded. Then I spoke back to her in such a way, until I silenced her. Then the Messenger of Allah said: ‘She is the daughter of Abu Bakr.'”

I had only just laid down when he came in and said: ‘O ‘Aishah, why are you out of breath?’ (one of the reporters) Sulaiman said: I thought he (Ibn Wahb) said: ‘short of breath.’ He said: ‘Either you tell me or the All-Aware, All-Knowing will tell me.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you;’ and I told him the story. He said: ‘You were the black shape I saw in front of me?’ I said: ‘Yes.'” She said: “He gave me a shove in the chest that hurt me and said: ‘You thought that Allah and His Messenger would be unfair to you.’ She said: ‘Whatever people conceal, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, knows it.’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Jibril came to me when you saw (me leave) but he did not enter upon you because you have taken off your garments. So he called me but he concealed himself from you, and I answered him but I concealed it from you.

He said: No. He said: Will you accept the blood-money? He said: No. He said: Will you kill him? He said: Yes. He said: Take him.

He (the narrator) said: I saw him pulling the strap.

Muhayyasah b. Mas’ud and ‘Abd Allah b. Sahl came to Khaibar and parted (from each other) among palm trees. ‘Abd Allah b. Sahl was killed. The Jews were blamed (for the murder). ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl and Huwayyasah and Muhayyasah, the sons of his uncle (Mas’ud) came to the Prophet (ﷺ). ‘Abd al-Rahman, who was the youngest, spoke about his brother, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: (Respect) the elder, (respect) the elder or he said: Let the eldest begin. They then spoke about their friend and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Fifty of you should take oaths regarding a man from them (the Jews) and he should be entrusted (to him) with his rope (in his neck). They said: It is a matter which we did not see. How can we take oaths ? He said: The Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah! they are a people who are infidels. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) paid them bloodwit himself. Sahl said: Once I entered the resting place of their camels, and the she-camel struck me with her lef. Hammad said this or (something) similar to it. Abu Dawud said: Another version transmitted by Yahya b. Sa’id has: Would you swear fifty oaths and make you claim regarding your friend or your slain man ? Bishr, the transmitter, did mention blood. ‘Abdah transmitted it from Yahya as transmitted by Hammad. Ibn ‘Uyainah has also transmitted it from Yahya, and began with his words: The Jew will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths which they will swear. He did not mention the claim. Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn ‘Uyainah.

He replied: Anas ! Allah’s decree is retaliation. But the people were agreeable to accepting a fine, so the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Among Allah’s servants there are those who, if they adjured Allah, He (Allah) would consent to it. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad b. Hanbal say: He was asked : How retaliation of a tooth is taken ? He said: It is broken with a file.

He asked : Then what moved you to cause us and yourself to come out from paradise? Adam asked him : And who are you? He said : Yes. He asked : Did you not find that was decreed in the book (records) of Allah before I was created? He replied : Yes. He asked : Then why do you blame me about a thing for which Divine decree had already passed before me ? The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said : So Adam got the better of Moses in argument (peace be upon him).

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked: Messenger of Allah! What is back-biting? He replied: It is saying something about your brother which he would dislike.

What has happened to the little sparrow?

Avoid falsehood, for falsehood leads to wickedness, and wickedness to hell; and if a man continues to speak falsehood and makes falsehood his object, he will be recorded in Allah’s presence as a great liar.

If a man continues to speak the truth and makes truth his object, he will be recorded in Allah’s presence as eminently truthful.

Allah will forgive him any sins he commits that night.

if anyone says seven times morning and evening; “Allah sufficeth me: there is no god but He; on him is my trust- he, the Lord of the Throne (of glory) Supreme”, Allah will be sufficient for him against anything which grieves him, whether he is true or false in (repeating) them.

The people asked: Tell us a word which we repeat in the morning, evening and when we rise. So he commanded us to say: “O Allah! Creator of Heavens and Earth; Knower of all that is hidden and open; Thou art the Lord of everything; the angels testify that there is no god but Thee, for we seek refuge in Thee from the evil within ourselves, from the evil of the Devil accused and from the evil of his suggestion about partnership with Allah, and that we earn sin for ourselves or drag it to a Muslim.”

Allah’s Messenger said: “Whoever says, when he hears the call: (Allahumma, rabba hadhihidda ‘watit-tammati was Salatilqa’imah, ati Muhammadanil wasilata wal-Fadilata, wab’athhu Maqamun Mahmudan alladhi wa’adtahu) ‘O Allah!

And one who leads people (in Salat) should not supplicate for himself alone with the exclusion of his congregation. If he does, then he has betrayed them. And one is not to stand for Salat while he has to urinate.”

Allah’s Messenger (S) said: “Indeed the Shaitan comes to one of you in his Salat confusing him until he does now know how much he has prayed. When one of you experiences that then let him perform two prostrations while sitting.”

The Hadith of ‘Aishah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. And Mansur bin Al-Mu’tamir’s Kunyah is Abu ‘Attab. Abu Bakr Al-‘Attar Al-Basri narrated to us from ‘Ali bin Al-Madini who said: “I heard Yahya bin Sa’eed saying: ‘When you get a narration from Mansur, then your hand has been filled with goodness without needing others.’ Then Yahya said: ‘I did not find anyone more reliable in (narrating from) Ibrahim An-Nakha’i and Mujahid than Mansur.” Muhammad informed me from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Al-Aswad who said: ” ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Mahdi said: ‘Mansur is the most reliable of the people of Al-Kufah.'”

He would say: ‘Fight in the Name of Allah, in the cause of Allah. Fight those who disbelieve in Allah, and do not steal from the spoils of war or be treacherous, nor mutilate, and do not kill a child. When you meet your enemy among the idolaters, then call them to one of the three options or choices, whichever of them they respond to then accept it from them, and refrain from them. Call them to Islam, and to relocate from their land to the land of Emigrants. Inform them that if they do that, then they will have similar to what those who emigrated have, and from them will be required similar to what is required from those who have emigrated. And if they refuse to relocate, then inform them that they will be like the Bedouins among the Muslim, and they will be treated the same as Bedouins are treated. There is no war spoils or Fay’ for them, unless they fight along with the Muslims. If they refuse then seek aid from Allah against them and fight them. And if you lay siege to a fortress and they want you to grant them covenant from Allah and a covenant of His Prophet, then do not grant them the covenant of Allah nor the covenant of His Prophet. Rather grant them your own covenant and the covenant of your companions, it will be better than breaking Allah’s covenant and the covenant of His Messenger. And if you lay siege to the people of a fortress and they want you to lift the siege for negotiating upon the judgement of Allah, then do not stop, but rather make them surrender to your judgement, for you do not know if you will come upon the judgement of Allah regarding them or not.’ Or similar to that.” There is something on this topic from An-Nu’man bin Muqarrin, and the Hadith of Buraidah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith

“I heard Anas saying: ‘Once we provoked a rabbit at Marr Az-Zahran. So the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) rushed after it, and I caught up to it and captured it.

He sent me with its legs – or its thighs – to the Prophet (ﷺ) so he could eat it.'” He (Hisham) said: “I said: ‘He ate it?’ He said:’He accepted it.'” There are narrations on this topic from Jubair, ‘Ammar, Muhammad bin Safwan, and they say: Muhammad bin Saifi. This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge. They saw no harm in eating rabbit. Some of the people of knowledge disliked eating rabbit, they said that it menstruates.

So when one of you sees what he dislikes, then he should get up and perform Salat.” Abu Hurairah said: “I like fetters and dislikes, the iron collar. And fetters refers to being firm in the religion.” He said: “The Prophet (s. a. w) said: ‘Dreams are a portion among the forty_six portions of Prophethood.”

He (Jibril) said: ‘Indeed, by your Might, none shall hear of it except that he shall enter it.’ Then He gave the order for it to be surrounded with hardships.

It is the one that when the Jinns hear it, they did not hesitate to say about it: ‘Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation (this Qur’an)! ‘It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein.’ Whoever speaks according to it then he has said the truth, and whoever acts according to it he is rewarded, and whoever judges by it he has judged justly, and whoever invites to it then he guides to the straight path.” Take this O A’war!’.”

Behold! None commits a crime but against himself, none offends a father for a son, nor a son for a father. Behold! Indeed the Muslim is the brother of the Muslim, so it is not lawful for the Muslim to do anything to his brother, which is not lawful to be done to himself. Behold! All Riba from Jahiliyyah is invalid, for you is the principle of your wealth, but your are not to wrong nor be wronged – except in the case of Riba of Al-‘Abbas bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib – otherwise it is all invalid. Behold! All retribution regarding cases of blood during Jahiliyyah are invalid. The first case of blood retribution invalidated among those of Jahiliyyah, is the blood of Al-Harith bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib who was nursed among Banu Laith and killed by Hudhail. Behold! I order you to treat women well, for they are but like captives with you, you have no sovereignty beyond this over them, unless they manifest lewdness. If they do that, then abandon their beds, and beat them with a beating that is not painful. Then if they obey you, then there is no cause for you against them beyond that. Behold! There are rights for you upon your women, and rights for your women upon you. As for your rights upon them,then they are not to allow anyone on your bedding whom you dislike, nor to permit anyone whom you dislike in your homes. Behold! Indeed their rights upon you are that you treat them well in clothing them and feeding them.'”

But I could not find the resources to give them mounts and they could not find the resources to follow me, nor would they be pleased to stay behind if I went. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, I wish I could fight in the cause of Allah and be killed, then fight and be killed, then fight and be killed.’”

“Whoever sends financial support in the cause of Allah and stays at home, for every Dirham he will have (the reward of) seven hundred Dirham.

It was narrated from ‘Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed Hajj Ifrad.*

“We began our Talbiyah for Hajj only with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and we did not mix it with ‘Umrah. We arrived in Makkah when four nights of Dhul-Hijjah had passed, and when we had performed Tawaf around the Ka’bah and Sa’y between Safa and Marwah, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to make it ‘Umrah, and to come out of Ihram and have relations with our wives. We said: ‘There are only five (days) until ‘Arafah. Will we g out to it with our male organs dripping with semen?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘I am the most righteous and truthful among you, and were it not for the sacrificial animal, I would have exited Ihram.’ Suraqah bin Malik said: ‘Is this Tamattu’ for this year only or forever?’ He said: ‘No, it is forever and ever.’”

“We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the Farewell Pilgrimage, close to the time of the crescent of Dhul-Hijjah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever among you wants to begin the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah, let him do so. If it were not for the fact that I have brought a sacrificial animal with me, I would have began the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah.’” She said: “Some of the people began the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah, and some began the Talbiyah for Hajj. I was one of those who began the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah.” She said: “We set out until we reached Makkah, then the Day of ‘Arafah came while I was in menses, but I did not exit Ihram for ‘Umrah I complained about that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: ‘Leave your ‘Umrah, undo your hair and comb it, and begin the Talbiyah for Hajj.’” She said: “So I did that, then on the night of Hasbah (i.e., the twelfth night of Dhul-Hijjah), when Allah had enables us to complete our Hajj, he sent ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr with me. He seated me behind him and went out to Tan’im, then I began the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah and Allah enabled us to complete our Hajj and ‘Umrah, and there was no sacrificial animal, charity nor fasting.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed ‘Umrah four times: The ‘Umrah of Hudaibiyah, the ‘Umrah to make up for (the one not completed previously), the third from Ji’ranah and the fourth that he did with his Hajj.”

“When ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud stoned ‘Aqabah Pillar, he went to the bottom of the valley and turned to face the Ka’bah, with the Pillar on his right hand side. Then he threw seven pebbles, saying the Takbir with each one. Then he said: ‘From here, by the One besides Whom there is none worthy of worship, did the one throw, to whom Surat Al-Baqarah was revealed.’”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman used to stay at Abtah.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned Safiyyah and we said: ‘She has got her menses.’ He said: ‘ ‘Aqra Halqa!* I think that she has detained us.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, she performed Tawaful-Ifadah on the Day of Sacrifice.’ He said: ‘No then, tell her to depart.’”

“We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for Hajj in three ways. Some of us began the Talbiyah for Hajj and ‘Umrah together, some of us began the Talbiyah for Hajj on its own, and some of us began the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah on its own. Those who began the Talbiyah for Hajj and ‘Umrah together did not exit Ihram at all until they had completed the rites of Hajj. Those who began the Talbiyah for Hajj on its own did not exit ihram at all until they had completed the rites of Hajj. And those who began the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah on its own circumambulated the House and ran between Safa and Marwah, then whatever had been forbidden to them became permissible until the time for Hajj came.”

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet (ﷺ) was treated with cupping when he was fasting and in the state of Ihram.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Abu Bakr and ‘Umar died, and the houses in Makkah were still called free. Whoever needed to, lived there, and whoever had no need of them allowed others to live there (without asking for rent).”

“We bought a ram for sacrifice, then a wolf tore some flesh from its rump and ears. We asked the Prophet (ﷺ) and he told us to offer it as a sacrifice.”

“I asked Abu Ayyub Al- Ansari: ‘How were sacrifices offered among you at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ He said: ‘At the time of the Prophet (ﷺ), a man would sacrifice a sheep on behalf of himself and the members of his household, and they would eat some of it and give some to others. Then people started to compete and it because as you see (nowadays).’”

“There is no Far’ah and no ‘Atirah.”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) did not forbid (eating) mastigures, but he found that distasteful. It is the food of most shepherds, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has benefited more than one person thereby. If I had some I would eat it.” Another chain reports a similar hadith.

“I do not eat while reclining.”

“If anyone of you goes to bed with a smell emanating from his hand, and he does not wash his hand, and something happens to him, he should not blame anyone but himself.”

“(Allah’s saying) “Nor insult one another by nicknames(Surah Al Hujarat 49:11)” was revealed concerning us, the Ansar. When the Prophet(ﷺ) came to us, a man among us would have two or three names, and the Prophet(ﷺ) might call him by one of those names, only to be told: “O Messenger of Allah(ﷺ), he does not like that name.” Then:”Nor insult one another by nicknames.” was revealed.”

Whoever draws near to Me a hand span, I draw near to him an arm’s length; whoever comes to Me a forearm’s length, I draw near him an arm’s length; whoever comes to Me walking, I come to him in a hurry. Whoever meets Me with an earthful of sins, but does not associate anything in worship with Me, I will meet it (i.e., his sins) with forgiveness equal to that.'”

“If the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw a cloud that looked as if it was bringing rain, the color of his face would change, and he would go in and out and walk to and fro. Then, if it rained, he would feel relieved.” ‘Aishah mentioned to him what she had seen him do, and he said: “How do you know? Perhaps it would be as the people of Hud said: ‘Then, when they saw it as a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they said: “This is a cloud bringing us rain!” Nay, but it is that (torment) which you were asking to be hastened.”

For there is a closed door between you and them.” ‘Umar said: “Will that door be broken or opened?” I said: “No, it will be broken.” ‘Umar said: “Then it will never be closed.’” We asked Hudhaifah: “Did ‘Umar know what that door meant?” He said: “Yes, just as he knows that there will be night before morning, because I narrated to him a Hadith in which there are no errors.” We were afraid to ask him who the door was, so we said to Masruq: “Ask him.” He said: “‘Umar.”

“I came to ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin ‘As when he was sitting in the shade of the Ka’bah, and the people were gathered around him, and I heard him say: ‘While we were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey, he stopped to camp and some of us were pitching tents, some were competing in shooting arrows and some were taking the animals out to graze them. Then his caller called out: “As-Salatu Jami’ah (prayer is about to begin).” So we gathered, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and addressed us. He said: “There has never been a Prophet before me who was not obliged to tell his nation of what he knew was good for them, and to warn against what he knew was bad for them. With regard to this nation of yours, soundness (of religious commitment) and well-being has been placed in its earlier generations and the last of them will be afflicted with calamities and things that you dislike. Then there will come tribulations which will make the earlier ones pale into significance, and the believer will say: ‘This will be the end of me,’ then relief will come. Then (more) tribulations will come and the believer will say: ‘This will be the end of me,’ then relief will come. Whoever would like to be taken far away from Hell and admitted to Paradise, let him die believing in Allah and the Last Day, and let him treat people as he would like to be treated. Whoever gives his oath of allegiance to a ruler and gives a sincere promise, let him obey him as much as he can, and if another comes and challenges him, let them strike the neck (i.e., kill) the second one.’” He the narrator said: “I raised my head among the people and said: ‘I adjure you by Allah, did you hear that from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ He (‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘As) pointed with his hand to his ears and said: I heard it directly from him and memorized it.’”

“When ‘Ali bin Abu Talib came to Basrah, he entered upon my father and said: ‘O Abu Muslim, will you not help me against these people?’ He said: ‘Of course.’ So he called a slave woman of his and said: ‘O slave woman, bring me my sword.’ So she brought it, and he unsheathed it a span, and (I saw that) it was made of wood. He said: ‘My close friend and your cousin (ﷺ) advised me, if tribulation (Fitnah) arose among the Muslims, that I should take a sword of wood. If you wish I will go out with you.’ He said: ‘I have no need of you or of your sword.’”

“The Hour will not begin until the Euphrates uncovers a mountain of gold and people fight over it, and out of every ten, nine will be killed.’”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told us two Ahadith, one of which I have seen, and I am still waiting for the other. He told us: ‘Honesty was preserved in the roots of men’s hearts’ – (One of the narrators) Tanafisi said: ‘Meaning in the middle of men’s hearts’ – ‘Then the Qur’an was revealed and we learned (it) from the Qur’an and the Sunnah.’ Then he told us about its disappearance, saying; ‘A man will go to sleep and honesty will be taken away from his heart, and only its trace will remain, like spots without color. Then he will go to sleep again and the remainder of the honesty will also be taken away (from his heart) and leaving a trace like a blister, as when an ember touches your foot and raises a blister which has nothing inside.’” Then Hudhaifah picked up a handful of pebbles and rolled them on his leg. He said: “People will engage in business with one another, but there will hardly be any honest persons among them. Then it will be said that in such and such a tribe there is an honest man, and a man will be admired for his intelligence, good manners and strength, but there will not be even a mustard seed of faith in his heart.” “There was a time when I did not mind dealing with anyone of you, for if he was a Muslim, his religion would prevent him from cheating; and if he was a Christian, his Muslim ruler would prevent him from cheating. But today I cannot deal except with so-and-so and so-and-so.”

“Gog and Magog people dig every day until, when they can almost see the rays of the sun, the one in charge of them says: “Go back and we will dig it tomorrow.” Then Allah puts it back, stronger than it was before. (This will continue) until, when their time has come, and Allah wants to send them against the people, they will dig until they can almost see the rays of the sun, then the one who is in charge of them will say: “Go back, and we will dig it tomorrow if Allah wills.’ So they will say: “If Allah wills.” Then they will come back to it and it will be as they left it. So they will dig and will come out to the people, and they will drink all the water. The people will fortify themselves against them in their fortresses. They will shoot their arrows towards the sky and they will come back with blood on them, and they will say: “We have defeated the people of earth and dominated the people of heaven.” Then Allah will send a worm in the napes of their necks and will kill them thereby.'” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, the beasts of the earth will grow fat on their flesh.”

“On the night on which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey (Isra’), he met Ibrahim, Musa and ‘Eisa, and they discussed the Hour. They started with Ibrahim, and asked him about it, but he did not have any knowledge of it. Then they asked Musa, and he did not have any knowledge of it. Then they asked ‘Eisa bin Maryam, and he said: ‘I have been assigned to some tasks before it happens.’ As for as when it will take place, no one knows that except Allah. Then he mentioned Dajjal and said: ‘I will descend and kill him, then the people will return to their own lands and will be confronted with Gog and Magog people, who will: “swoop down from every mound.” They will not pass by any water but they will drink it, (and they will not pass) by anything but they will spoil it. They (the people) will beseech Allah, and I will pray to Allah to kill them. The earth will be filled with their stench and (the people) will beseech Allah and I will pray to Allah, then the sky will send down rain that will carry them and throw them in the sea. Then the mountains will turn to dust and the earth will be stretched out like a hide. I have been promised that when that happens, the Hour will come upon the people, like a pregnant woman whose family does not know when she will suddenly give birth.'” (One of the narrators) ‘Awwam said: “Confirmation of that is found in the Book of Allah, where Allah says: “Until, when Gog and Magog people are let loose (from their barrier), and they swoop down from every mound (21:96).”

“I was riding with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he came across a dead lamb that had been thrown out.’ He said: ‘Don’t you think that this is worthless to its owners?’ It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, it is because it is worthless that they have thrown it out, – or words to that effect. He said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, this world is more worthless to Allah than this is to its owners.’”

I am confused about the Divine Decree, and I fear for my religion and my affairs, so tell me something about that through which Allah may benefit me.’ He said: ‘If Allah were to punish the inhabitants of His heavens and of his earth, He would do so and He would not be unjust towards them. And if He were to have mercy on them, His mercy would be better for them than their own deeds. If you had the equivalent of Mount Uhud which you spent in the cause of Allah, that would not be accepted from you until you believed in the Divine Decree and you know that whatever has befallen you, could not have passed you by; and whatever has passed you by, could not have befallen you; and that if you were to die believing anything other than this, you would enter Hell. And it will not harm you to go to my brother, ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud, and ask him (about this).’ So I went to ‘Abdullah and asked him , and he said something similar to what Ubayy had said, and he told me: ‘It will not harm you to go to Hudhaifah.’ So I went to Hudhaifah and asked him, and he said something similar to what they had said. And he told me: ‘Go to Zaid bin Thabit and ask him.’ So I went to Zaid bun Thabit and asked him, and he said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “If Allah were to punish the inhabitants of His heavens and of His earth, he would do so and He would not be unjust towards them. And if He were to have mercy on them, His mercy would be better for them than their own deeds. If you had the equivalent of Mount Uhud which you spent in the cause of Allah, that would not be accepted from you until you believed in the Divine Decree and you know that whatever has befallen you, could not have passed you by; and whatever has passed you by, could not have befallen you; and that if you were to die believing anything other than this, you would enter Hell”

“The Messenger of Allah mentioned a Fitnah (tribulation) that had drawn nigh. Then a man passed by with his head covered. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘On that day, this man will be following right guidance.’ I leapt up and took hold of ‘Uthman’s arms, then I turned to face the Messenger of Allah and said: ‘This man?’ He said: ‘This man.'”
