Sahih al-Bukhari Belief Al Bara Sahih When the Prophet (ﷺ) came to Medina, he stayed first with his grandfathers or maternal uncles from Ansar. He offered his prayers facing Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months, but he wished that he could pray facing the Ka’ba (at Mecca). The first prayer which he offered facing the Ka’ba was the ‘Asr prayer in the company of some people. Then one of those who had offered that prayer with him came out and passed by some people in a mosque who were bowing during their prayers (facing Jerusalem). He said addressing them, “By Allah, I testify that I have prayed with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) facing Mecca (Ka’ba).’ Hearing that, those people changed their direction towards the Ka’ba immediately. Jews and the people of the scriptures used to be pleased to see the Prophet (ﷺ) facing Jerusalem in prayers but when he changed his direction towards the Ka’ba, during the prayers, they disapproved of it. Al-Bara’ added, “Before we changed our direction towards the Ka’ba (Mecca) in prayers, some Muslims had died or had been killed and we did not know what to say about them (regarding their prayers.) Allah then revealed: And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. the prayers of those Muslims were valid).’ ” (2:143). https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-40/ Sahih al-Bukhari Call to Prayers (Adhaan) Al Bara Sahih (and he was not a liar) When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah” none of us bent his back (for prostration) till the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated and then we would prostrate after him. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-672/ Sahih al-Bukhari Call to Prayers (Adhaan) Al Bara Sahih (And Al-Bara was not a liar) Whenever we offered prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he raised his head from the bowing, we used to remain standing till we saw him prostrating . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-729/ Sahih al-Bukhari Call to Prayers (Adhaan) Al Bara Sahih The Prophet (ﷺ) was on a journey and recited in one of the first two rak`at of the `Isha’ prayer “Wa t-teeni wa z-zaitun.” (95) https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-749/ Sahih al-Bukhari Call to Prayers (Adhaan) Al Bara Sahih I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting wa t-teeni wa z-zaitun” (95) in the `Isha’ prayer, and I never heard a sweeter voice or a better way of recitation than that of the Prophet. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-751/ Sahih al-Bukhari Call to Prayers (Adhaan) Al Bara Sahih The bowing, the prostration the sitting in between the two prostrations and the standing after the bowing of the Prophet (ﷺ) but not qiyam (standing in the prayer) and qu`ud (sitting in the prayer) used to be approximately equal (in duration). https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-775/ Sahih al-Bukhari Call to Prayers (Adhaan) Al Bara Sahih The bowing, the prostrations, the period of standing after bowing and the interval between the two prostrations of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to be equal in duration . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-784/ Sahih al-Bukhari Call to Prayers (Adhaan) Al Bara Sahih The time taken by the Prophet (ﷺ) in prostrations, bowing, and the sitting interval between the two prostrations was about the same. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-802/ Sahih al-Bukhari The Two Festivals (Eids) Al Bara Sahih I heard the Prophet (p.b.u.h) delivering a Khutba saying, “The first thing to be done on this day (first day of `Id ul Adha) is to pray; and after returning from the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in the name of Allah) and whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna (traditions).” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-928/ Sahih al-Bukhari The Two Festivals (Eids) Al Bara Sahih The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered the Khutba on the day of Nahr (`Id-ul-Adha) and said, “The first thing we should do on this day of ours is to pray and then return and slaughter (our sacrifices). So anyone who does so he acted according to our Sunna; and whoever slaughtered before the prayer then it was just meat that he offered to his family and would not be considered as a sacrifice in any way. My uncle Abu Burda bin Niyyar got up and said, “O, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Slaughter it in lieu of the first and such a goat will not be considered as a sacrifice for anybody else after you.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-942/ Sahih al-Bukhari The Two Festivals (Eids) Al Bara Sahih The Prophet (ﷺ) went towards Al-Baqi (the graveyard at Medina) on the day of Id-ul-Adha and offered a two-rak`at prayer (of `Id-ul-Adha) and then faced us and said, “On this day of ours, our first act of worship is the offering of prayer and then we will return and slaughter the sacrifice, and whoever does this concords with our Sunna; and whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before that (i.e. before the prayer) then that was a thing which he prepared earlier for his family and it would not be considered as a Nusuk (sacrifice.)” A man stood up and said, “O, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I slaughtered (the animal before the prayer) but I have a young she-goat which is better than an older sheep.” The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said to him, “Slaughter it. But a similar sacrifice will not be sufficient for anybody else after you.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-950/ Sahih al-Bukhari Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz) Al Bara Sahih When Ibrahim (the son of Prophet) expired, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “There is a wet-nurse for him in Paradise.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-1334/ Sahih al-Bukhari Penalty of Hunting while on Pilgrimage Al Bara Sahih The Prophet (ﷺ) assumed Ihram for Umra in the month of Dhul-Qa’da but the (pagan) people of Mecca refused to admit him into Mecca till he agreed on the condition that he would not bring into Mecca any arms but sheathed. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-1776/ Sahih al-Bukhari Fasting Al Bara Sahih It was the custom among the companions of Muhammad that if any of them was fasting and the food was presented (for breaking his fast), but he slept before eating, he would not eat that night and the following day till sunset. Qais bin Sirma-al-Ansari was fasting and came to his wife at the time of Iftar (breaking one’s fast) and asked her whether she had anything to eat. She replied, “No, but I would go and bring some for you.” He used to do hard work during the day, so he was overwhelmed by sleep and slept. When his wife came and saw him, she said, “Disappointment for you.” When it was midday on the following day, he fainted and the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed about the whole matter and the following verses were revealed: “You are permitted To go to your wives (for sexual relation) At the night of fasting.” So, they were overjoyed by it. And then Allah also revealed: “And eat and drink Until the white thread Of dawn appears to you Distinct from the black thread (of the night).” (2.187) https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-1847/ Sahih al-Bukhari Peacemaking Al Bara Sahih When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to perform `Umra in the month of Dhul-Qada, the people of Mecca did not let him enter Mecca till he settled the matter with them by promising to stay in it for three days only. When the document of treaty was written, the following was mentioned: ‘These are the terms on which Muhammad, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) agreed (to make peace).’ They said, “We will not agree to this, for if we believed that you are Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) we would not prevent you, but you are Muhammad bin `Abdullah.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I am Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and also Muhammad bin `Abdullah.” Then he said to `Ali, “Rub off (the words) ‘Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)’ “, but `Ali said, “No, by Allah, I will never rub off your name.” So, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) took the document and wrote, ‘This is what Muhammad bin `Abdullah has agreed upon: No arms will be brought into Mecca except in their cases, and nobody from the people of Mecca will be allowed to go with him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ) even if he wished to follow him and he (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) will not prevent any of his companions from staying in Mecca if the latter wants to stay.’ When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered Mecca and the time limit passed, the Meccans went to `Ali and said, “Tell your Friend (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ) to go out, as the period (agreed to) has passed.” So, the Prophet (ﷺ) went out of Mecca. The daughter of Hamza ran after them (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions), calling, “O Uncle! O Uncle!” `Ali received her and led her by the hand and said to Fatima, “Take your uncle’s daughter.” Zaid and Ja`far quarreled about her. `Ali said, “I have more right to her as she is my uncle’s daughter.” Ja`far said, “She is my uncle’s daughter, and her aunt is my wife.” Zaid said, “She is my brother’s daughter.” The Prophet (ﷺ) judged that she should be given to her aunt, and said that the aunt was like the mother. He then said to ‘All, “You are from me and I am from you”, and said to Ja`far, “You resemble me both in character and appearance”, and said to Zaid, “You are our brother (in faith) and our freed slave.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-2590/ Sahih al-Bukhari Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad) Al Bara Sahih A man whose face was covered with an iron mask (i.e. clad in armor) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I fight or embrace Islam first? “The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Embrace Islam first and then fight.” So he embraced Islam, and was martyred. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, A Little work, but a great reward. “(He did very little (after embracing Islam), but he will be rewarded in abundance). https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-2693/ Sahih al-Bukhari Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad) Al Bara Sahih When the Divine Inspiration: “Those of the believers who sit (at home), was revealed the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for Zaid (bin Thabit) who came with a shoulder-blade and wrote on it.

So, bestow on us calmness, and when we meet the enemy. Then make our feet firm, for indeed, Yet if they want to put us in affliction, (i.e. want to fight against us) we would not (flee but withstand them).” The Prophet (ﷺ) used to raise his voice while reciting these verses.

They stipulated that he would not stay for more than three days and would not enter it except with sheathed arms and would not preach (Islam) to any of them. So `Ali bin Abi- Talib started writing the treaty between them. He wrote, “This is what Muhammad, Apostle of Allah has agreed to.” The (Meccans) said, “If we knew that you (Muhammad) are the Messenger of Allah, then we would not have prevented you and would have followed you. But write, ‘This is what Muhammad bin `Abdullah has agreed to..’ ” On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “By Allah, I am Muhammad bin `Abdullah, and, by Allah, I am Apostle of ‘Allah.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used not to write; so he asked `Ali to erase the expression of Apostle of Allah. On that `Ali said, “By Allah I will never erase it.” Allah’s Apostle said (to `Ali), “Let me see the paper.” When `Ali showed him the paper, the Prophet (ﷺ) erased the expression with his own hand. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had entered Mecca and three days had elapsed, the Meccans came to `Ali and said, “Let your friend (i.e. the Prophet) quit Mecca.” `Ali informed Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about it and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Yes,” and then he departed. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3052/ Sahih al-Bukhari Beginning of Creation Al Bara Sahih The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Hassan, “Lampoon them (i.e. the pagans) and Gabriel is with you.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3080/ Sahih al-Bukhari Beginning of Creation Al Bara Sahih The Prophet, after the death of his son Ibrahim, said, “There is a wet-nurse for him (i.e. Ibrahim) in Paradise.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3121/ Sahih al-Bukhari Virtues and Merits of the Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions Al Bara Sahih Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was the handsomest of all the people, and had the best appearance.

Suddenly I saw a shepherd driving his sheep towards the rock, seeking what we had already sought from it. I asked him, ‘To whom do you belong, O boy?’ He said, ‘I belong to a man from Quraish.’ He named the man and I recognized him. I asked him, ‘Is there any milk with your sheep?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Will you then milk (some) for us?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ Then I asked him to tie the legs of one of the sheep and clean its udder, and then ordered him to clean his hands from dust. Then the shepherd cleaned his hands by striking his hands against one another. After doing so, he milked a small amount of milk. I used to keep for Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) a leather water-container, the mouth of which was covered with a piece of cloth. I poured water on the milk container till its lower part was cold. Then I took the milk to the Prophet (ﷺ) whom I found awake. I said to him, ‘Drink, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).’ So he drank till I became pleased. Then I said, ‘It is time for us to move, O Allah’s Apostle!’ He said, ‘Yes.’ So we set out while the people (i.e. Quraish pagans) were searching for us, but none found us except Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju`shum who was riding his horse.

By chance, they lost a donkey of theirs and came out carrying a flaming light to search for it. I was afraid that they would recognize me, so I covered my head and legs and pretended to answer the call to nature. The gatekeeper called, ‘Whoever wants to come in, should come in before I close the gate.’ So I went in and hid myself in a stall of a donkey near the gate of the castle. They took their supper with Abu Rafi` and had a chat till late at night. Then they went back to their homes. When the voices vanished and I no longer detected any movement, I came out. I had seen where the gate-keeper had kept the key of the castle in a hole in the wall. I took it and unlocked the gate of the castle, saying to myself, ‘If these people should notice me, I will run away easily.’ Then I locked all the doors of their houses from outside while they were inside, and ascended to Abu Rafi` by a staircase. I saw the house in complete darkness with its light off, and I could not know where the man was. So I called, ‘O Abu Rafi`!’ He replied, ‘Who is it?’ I proceeded towards the voice and hit him. He cried loudly but my blow was futile. Then I came to him, pretending to help him, saying with a different tone of my voice, ‘ What is wrong with you, O Abu Rafi`?’ He said, ‘Are you not surprised? Woe on your mother! A man has come to me and hit me with a sword!’ So again I aimed at him and hit him, but the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi` cried loudly and his wife got up. I came again and changed my voice as if I were a helper, and found Abu Rafi` lying straight on his back, so I drove the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the sound of a bone break. Then I came out, filled with astonishment and went to the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it and got my leg dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my companions limping. I said (to them), ‘Go and tell Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) of this good news, but I will not leave (this place) till I hear the news of his (i.e. Abu Rafi`’s) death.’ When dawn broke, an announcer of death got over the wall and announced, ‘I convey to you the news of Abu Rafi`’s death.’ I got up and proceeded without feeling any pain till I caught up with my companions before they reached the Prophet (ﷺ) to whom I conveyed the good news.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3871/ Sahih al-Bukhari Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi) Al Bara Sahih We faced the pagans on that day (of the battle of Uhud) and the Prophet (ﷺ) placed a batch of archers (at a special place) and appointed `Abdullah (bin Jubair) as their commander and said, “Do not leave this place; if you should see us conquering the enemy, do not leave this place, and if you should see them conquering us, do not (come to) help us,” So, when we faced the enemy, they took to their heels till I saw their women running towards the mountain, lifting up their clothes from their legs, revealing their leg-bangles. The Muslims started saying, “The booty, the booty!” `Abdullah bin Jubair said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) had taken a firm promise from me not to leave this place.” But his companions refused (to stay). So when they refused (to stay there), (Allah) confused them so that they could not know where to go, and they suffered seventy casualties. Abu Sufyan ascended a high place and said, “Is Muhammad present amongst the people?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not answer him.” Abu Sufyan said, “Is the son of Abu Quhafa present among the people?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not answer him.” `Abu Sufyan said, “Is the son of Al-Khattab amongst the people?” He then added, “All these people have been killed, for, were they alive, they would have replied.” On that, `Umar could not help saying, “You are a liar, O enemy of Allah! Allah has kept what will make you unhappy.” Abu Sufyan said, “Superior may be Hubal!” On that the Prophet said (to his companions), “Reply to him.” They asked, “What may we say?” He said, “Say: Allah is More Elevated and More Majestic!” Abu Sufyan said, “We have (the idol) Al-`Uzza, whereas you have no `Uzza!” The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to his companions), “Reply to him.” They said, “What may we say?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Say: Allah is our Helper and you have no helper.” Abu Sufyan said, “(This) day compensates for our loss at Badr and (in) the battle (the victory) is always undecided and shared in turns by the belligerents.

So, (O Allah), please send Sakina (i.e. calmness) upon us and make our feet firm if we meet the enemy, as they have rebelled against us. And if they intend affliction (i.e. want to frighten us, and fight against us) then we would not (flee but withstand them).” The Prophet (ﷺ) would then prolong his voice at the last words. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3934/ Sahih al-Bukhari Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi) Al Bara Sahih The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Hassan, “Abuse them (with your poems), and Gabriel is with you (i.e, supports you).” (Through another group of sub narrators) Al-Bara bin Azib said, “On the day of Quraiza’s (besiege), Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said to Hassan bin Thabit, ‘Abuse them (with your poems), and Gabriel is with you (i.e. supports you).’ “ https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3951/ Sahih al-Bukhari Military Expeditions led by the Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi) Al Bara Sahih Do you (people) consider the conquest of Mecca, the Victory (referred to in the Qur’an 48:1). Was the conquest of Mecca a victory? We really consider that the actual Victory was the Ar-Ridwan Pledge of allegiance which we gave on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (to the Prophet) . On the day of Al-Hudaibiya we were fourteen hundred men along with the Prophet (ﷺ) Al-Hudaibiya was a well, the water of which we used up leaving not a single drop of water in it. When the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed of that, he came and sat on its edge. Then he asked for a utensil of water, performed ablution from it, rinsed (his mouth), invoked (Allah), and poured the remaining water into the well. We stayed there for a while and then the well brought forth what we required of water for ourselves and our riding animals. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-al-bukhari-3978/ Sahih Muslim The Book of Faith Al Bara Sahih I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on an ass known as ‘Ufair. He (Mu’adh) observed: He (the Holy Prophet) said: Mu’adh, do you know what right has Allah over His bondsmen and what right have His bondsmen over Him? Mu’adh added: I replied: Allah and his Messenger know best. Upon this he (the Prophet remarked: The right of Allah over His bondsmen is that they should worship Allah and should not associate anything with Him, and the right of His bondsmen over Allah, Glorious and Sublime, is that He does not punish him who associates not anything with Him. He (Mu’adh) added: I said to the Messenger of Allah: Should I then give the tidings to the people? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Do not tell them this good news, for they would trust in it alone. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-muslim-51/ Sahih Muslim The Book of Faith Al Bara Sahih By Him in whose Hand is my life, no, bondsman (truly) believes till he likes for his neighbour, or he (the Holy Prophet) said: for his brother, whatever he likes for himself. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-muslim-78/ Sahih Muslim The Book of Pilgrimage Al Bara Sahih While I was sitting in the company of Ibn ‘Umar, a person came to him and said: Is it right for me to circumambulate the House before I come to stay (at ‘Arafat)? Ibn ‘Umar said: Yes. whereupon he said: Ibn Abbas, however, says: Do not circumambulate the House until you come to stay at ‘Arafat. Thereupon Ibn ‘Umar said: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) Performed the Hajj and circumambulated the House before coming to stay (at ‘Arafat). If you say the Truth, is it more rightful to follow the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) or the words of Ibn Abbas? https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-muslim-2879/ Sahih Muslim The Book of Pilgrimage Al Bara Sahih A person asked Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him): May I circumambulate the House, whereas I have entered-into the state of Ihram for Hajj? Thereupon he said: What prevents you from doing it? He said: I saw the son of so and so showing disapproval of it, and you are dearer to us as compared with him. And we see that he is allured by the world, whereupon he said: Who amongst you and us is not allured by the world? And said (further) ‘: ‘We saw that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) put on Ihram for Hajj and circumambulated the House and run between al Safa’ and al-Marwa. And the way prescribed by Allah and that prescribed by His Apostle (ﷺ) deserve more to be followed than the way shown by so and so, if you speak the truth. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/sahih-muslim-2880/
