Bahr added on the authority of al-Walid, and I did not hear (a tradition) from him: And they denied him his share.” Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by al-Walid b. ‘Utbah from ‘Abd al-Wahhab b. Najdah; They said: This has been transmitted by al-Walid, from Zuhair b. Muhammad, from ‘Amr b. Shu’aib. ‘Abd al-Wahhab b.

Sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, his head is shaved and is smeared with blood.

Then its head may be washed and shaved off. Abu Dawud said: In narrating the word “is smeared with blood” (yudamma) there is a misunderstanding on the part of Hammam. Abu Dawud said: Hammam has been opposed in narrating the words “is smeared with blood”. This is misunderstanding of Hammam. They narrated he word “he is given a name (yusamma) and Hammam narrated it “is smeared with blood” (yudamma). Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not followed. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-2837/)* --- ## Hadith #3076 **Book:** Tribute, Spoils, and Rulership (Kitab Al-Kharaj, Wal-Fai' Wal-Imarah) | **Narrator(s):** Ahmad bin Hanbal أحمد بن حنبل, al-Hasan al-Basri الحسن البصري, Muhammad bin Bashr bin al-Farafsa محمد بن بشر بن الفرافصة العبدي, Qatada قتادة, Sa'id bin Abi Sa'id, Samra bin Jundub | **Grade:** Da'if I testify that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) decided that the land is the land of Allah, and the servants are the servants of Allah. If anyone brings barren land into cultivation, he has more right to it. This tradition has been transmitted to us from the Prophet (ﷺ) by those who transmitted the traditions about prayer from him. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-3076/)* --- ## Hadith #3194 **Book:** Funerals (Kitab Al-Jana'iz) | **Narrator(s):** Abdullah bin Burayda bin al-Husayb عبد الله بن بريدة بن الحصيب الأسلمي, al-Husain bin Dhakwan al-Mua'lam الحسين بن ذكوان المعلم المكتب, Masdad bin Masrhad مسدد بن مسرهد بن مسربل, Samra bin Jundub, Yazid bin Zari' يزيد بن زريع | **Grade:** Sahih I was in the Sikkat al-Mirbad. A bier passed and a large number of people were accompanying it. They said: Bier of Abdullah ibn Umayr. So I followed it. Suddenly I saw a man, who had a thin garment on riding his small mule. He had a piece of cloth on his head to protect himself from the sun. I asked: Who is this important man? People said: This is Anas ibn Malik. When the bier was placed, Anas stood and led the funeral prayer over him while I was just behind him, and there was no obstruction between me and him. He stood near his head, and uttered four takbirs (Allah is Most Great). He neither lengthened the prayer nor hurried it. He then went to sit down. They said: AbuHamzah, (here is the bier of) an Ansari woman. They brought her near him and there was a green cupola-shaped structure over her bier. He stood opposite her hips and led the funeral prayer over her as he had led it over the man. He then sat down. Al-Ala’ ibn Ziyad asked: AbuHamzah, did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say the funeral prayer over the dead as you have done, uttering four takbirs (Allah is Most Great) over her, and standing opposite the head of a man and the hips of a woman? He replied: Yes. He asked: AbuHamzah, did you fight with the Messenger of Allah? He replied: Yes. I fought with him in the battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came out and invaded us so severely that we saw our horses behind our backs. Among the people (i.e. the unbelievers) there was a man who was attacking us, and striking and wounding us (with his sword). Allah then defeated them. They were then brought and began to take the oath of allegiance to him for Islam. A man from among the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said: I make a vow to myself that if Allah brings the man who was striking us (with his sword) that day, I shall behead him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) kept silent and the man was brought (as a captive). When he saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he said: Messenger of Allah, I have repented to Allah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stopped (for a while) receiving his oath of allegiance, so that the other man might fulfil his vow. But the man began to wait for the order of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for his murder. He was afraid of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to kill him. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw that he did not do anything, he received his oath of allegiance. The man said: Messenger of Allah, what about my vow? He said: I stopped (receiving his oath of allegiance) today so that you might fulfil your vow. He said: Messenger of Allah, why did you not give any signal to me? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: It is not worthy of a Prophet to give a signal. AbuGhalib said: I asked (the people) about Anas standing opposite the hips of a woman. They told me that this practice was due to the fact that (in the days of the Prophet) there were no cupola-shaped structures over the biers of women. So the imam used to stand opposite the hips of a woman to hide her from the people. Abu Dawud said: The saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) “I have been commanded to fight against the people until they say: There is no god bu Allah” abrogated this tradition of fulfilling the vow by his remark: “I have repented”. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-3194/)* --- ## Hadith #3340 **Book:** Commercial Transactions (Kitab Al-Buyu) | **Narrator(s):** Abu al-Ahwus, Salam bin Sulaym al-Hanafi أبو الأحوص سلام بن سليم الحنفي, Amir al-Sha'bi عامر الشعبي, Sa'id bin Masrooq Ath-Thawri سعيد بن مسروق الثوري, Sa'id bin Mnswr bin Sh'bh سعيد بن منصور بن شعبة, Samra bin Jundub | **Grade:** Sahih The Prophet (ﷺ) said: (The standard) weight is the weight of the people of Mecca, and the (standard) measure is the measure of the people of Medina.

The version of Abu Ahmad has: “from Ibn ‘Abbas” instead of Ibn ‘Umar. It has also been transmitted by al-Walid b. Muslim from Hanzalah. This version has: “the weight of Medina and the measure of Mecca.” Abu Dawud said: There is a variation in the text of the version of this tradition narrated by Malik b.

I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at Khaybar. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: And I do not think about my illness except that. This is the time when it cut off my aorta. Abu Dawud said: Sometime ‘Abd al-Razzaq transmitted this tradition, omitting the link of the Companion, from Ma’mar, from al-Zuhri, from the Prophet (ﷺ), and sometimes he transmitted it from al-Zuhri from ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Ka’b b. Malik, ‘Abd al-Rahman mentioned that Ma’mar sometimes transmitted the tradition in a mursal form (omitting the link of the Companion), and they recorded it. And all this is correct with us. ‘Abd al-Razzaq said: When Ibn al-Mubarak came to Ma’mar, he transmitted the traditions in a musnad form (with a perfect chain) which he transmitted as mauquf traditions (statements of the Companions and not of the Prophet). *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-4513/)* --- ## Hadith #4635 **Book:** Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah) | **Narrator(s):** Affan bin Muslim عفان بن مسلم بن عبد الله الصفار, Hammad bin Salama حماد بن سلمة, Muhammad bin al-Muthna - al-Zaman محمد بن المثنى أبو موسى - الزمن, Samra bin Jundub | **Grade:** Sahih One day the Prophet (ﷺ) asked: Which of you had a dream? He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect, but he did not mention the word “disliked”. Instead, he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was grieved about that. He then said: There will be a caliphate on the model of prophecy, then Allah will give the kingdom to whom he wills. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-4635/)* --- ## Hadith #4904 **Book:** General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab) | **Narrator(s):** al-Hasan al-Basri الحسن البصري, Hisham bin Abi 'Abdullah al-Dastawa'i هشام بن أبي عبد الله الدستوائي, Muslim bin Ibrahim al-Azdy مسلم بن إبراهيم الأزدي الفراهيدي, Qatada قتادة, Samra bin Jundub | **Grade:** Da'if Sahl ibn AbuUmamah said that he and his father (AbuUmamah) visited Anas ibn Malik at Medina during the time (rule) of Umar ibn AbdulAziz when he (Anas ibn Malik) was the governor of Medina. He was praying a very short prayer as if it were the prayer of a traveller or near it. When he gave a greeting, my father said: May Allah have mercy on you! Tell me about this prayer: Is it obligatory or supererogatory? He said: It is obligatory; it is the prayer performed by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I did not make a mistake except in one thing that I forgot. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: Do not impose austerities on yourselves so that austerities will be imposed on you, for people have imposed austerities on themselves and Allah imposed austerities on them. Their survivors are to be found in cells and monasteries. (Then he quoted:) “Monasticism, they invented it; we did not prescribe it for them.” Next day he went out in the morning and said: will you not go out for a ride, so that you may see something and take a lesson from it? He said: Yes. Then all of them rode away and reached a land whose inhabitants had perished, passed away and died. The roofs of the town had fallen in. He asked: Do you know this land? I said: Who acquainted me with it and its inhabitants? (Anas said:) This is the land of the people whom oppression and envy destroyed. Envy extinguishes the light of good deeds, and oppression confirms or falsifies it. The eye commits fornication, and the palm of the hand, the foot, body, tongue and private part of the body confirm it or deny it. *Source: [ParallelQuran](https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sunan-abi-dawud-4904/)* --- ## Hadith #4956 **Book:** General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab) | **Narrator(s):** Abu Ja'far al-Nafaili عبد الله بن محمد أبو جعفر النفيلي الحران, Hilal bin Yasaf هلال بن يساف, Mansur bin al-Ma'tamar al-Salmi منصور بن المعتمر بن عبد الله السلمي, Samra bin Jundub, Zuhayr bin Mua'wiya bin Hudayj زهير بن معاوية بن حديج | **Grade:** Sahih The Prophet (ﷺ) asked: What is your name? He replied: Hazn (rugged). He said: You are Sahl (smooth). He said: No, smooth is trodden upon and disgraced. Sa’id said: I then thought that ruggedness would remain among us after it.

He changed the name al-Munba’ith (one who lies) and called him al-Mudtaji’ (one who stands up). He changed the name of a land Afrah (barren) and called it Khadrah (green). He changed the name Shi’b ad-Dalalah (the mountain path of a stray), the name of a mountain path and called it Shi’b al-Huda (mountain path of guidance).
