Anas replied, “Definitely it was (recited)”. I asked, “Before bowing or after it?” Anas replied, “Before bowing.” I added, “So and so has told me that you had informed him that it had been after bowing.” Anas said, “He told an untruth (i.e. “was mistaken,” according to the Hijazi dialect). Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) recited Qunut after bowing for a period of one month.” Anas added, “The Prophet (ﷺ) sent about seventy men (who knew the Qur’an by heart) towards the pagans (of Najd) who were less than they in number and there was a peace treaty between them and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (but the Pagans broke the treaty and killed the seventy men). So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) recited Qunut for a period of one month asking Allah to punish them.” *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-975/)* --- ## Hadith #1589 **Book:** Hajj (Pilgrimage) | **Narrator(s):** Asim al-Ahwal عاصم الأحول | **Grade:** Sahih I asked Anas bin Malik: “Did you use to dislike to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?” He said, “Yes, as it was of the ceremonies of the days of the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance, till Allah revealed: ‘Verily! (The two mountains) As-Safa and Al-Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. It is therefore no sin for him who performs the pilgrimage to the Ka`ba, or performs `Umra, to perform Tawaf between them.’ ” (2.158) *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-1589/)* --- ## Hadith #2208 **Book:** Kafalah | **Narrator(s):** Asim al-Ahwal عاصم الأحول | **Grade:** Sahih I heard Anas bin Malik, “Have you ever heard that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘There is no alliance in Islam?’ ” He replied, “The Prophet (ﷺ) made alliance between Quraish and the Ansar in my house.” *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-2208/)* --- ## Hadith #3038 **Book:** Jizyah and Mawaada'ah | **Narrator(s):** Asim al-Ahwal عاصم الأحول | **Grade:** Sahih I asked Anas about the Qunut (i.e. invocation in the prayer). Anas said, “It should be recited before bowing.” I said, “So-and-so claims that you say that it should be recited after bowing.” He replied, “He is mistaken.” Then Anas narrated to us that the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked evil on the tribe of Bani-Sulaim for one month after bowing. ‘ Anas Further said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) had sent 40 or 70 Qaris (i.e. men well versed in the knowledge of the Qur’an) to some pagans, but the latter struggled with them and martyred them, although there was a peace pact between them and the Prophet (ﷺ) I had never seen the Prophet so sorry and worried about anybody as he was about them (i.e. the Qaris). *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3038/)* --- ## Hadith #3924 **Book:** Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi) | **Narrator(s):** Asim al-Ahwal عاصم الأحول | **Grade:** Sahih I asked Anas bin Malik regarding Al-Qunut during the prayer. Anas replied, “Yes (Al-Qunut was said by the Prophet (ﷺ) in the prayer).” I said, “Is it before Bowing or after Bowing?” Anas replied, “(It was said) before (Bowing).” I said, “So-and-so informed me that you told him that it was said after Bowing.” Anas replied, “He was mistaken, for Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said Al-Qunut after Bowing for one month. The Prophet (ﷺ) had sent some people called Al-Qurra who were seventy in number, to some pagan people who had concluded a peace treaty with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) . But those who had concluded the treaty with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) violated the treaty (and martyred all the seventy men). So Allah’s Apostle said Al-Qunut after Bowing (in the prayer) for one month, invoking evil upon them. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3924/)* --- ## Hadith #5425 **Book:** Drinks | **Narrator(s):** Asim al-Ahwal عاصم الأحول | **Grade:** Sahih I saw the drinking bowl of the Prophet (ﷺ) with Anas bin Malik, and it had been broken, and he had mended it with silver plates. That drinking bowl was quite wide and made of Nadar wood, Anas said, “I gave water to the Prophet (ﷺ) in that bowl more than so-and-so (for a long period).” Ibn Seereen said: Around that bowl there was an iron ring, and Anas wanted to replace it with a silver or gold ring, but Abu Talha said to him, “Do not change a thing that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) has made.” So Anas left it as it was. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-5425/)* --- ## Hadith #5852 **Book:** Good Manners and Form (Al-Adab) | **Narrator(s):** Asim al-Ahwal عاصم الأحول | **Grade:** Sahih I said to Anas bin Malik, “Did it reach you that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “There is no treaty of brotherhood in Islam’?” Anas said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) made a treaty (of brotherhood) between the Ansar and the Quraish in my home.” *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-5852/)* --- ## Hadith #7029 **Book:** Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah | **Narrator(s):** Asim al-Ahwal عاصم الأحول | **Grade:** Sahih I said to Anas, “Did Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) make Medina a sanctuary?” He replied, “Yes, (Medina is a sanctuary from such-and-such place to such-and-such place.
