Sunan al-Nasa'i — The Book of Funerals

That the Prophet commanded that those who had been killed at Uhud should be taken back to the place where they fell; they had been brought to Al-Madinah.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Breaking a dead man’s bone is like breaking it when he is alive.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: To harbour good thoughts is a part of well-conducted worship. (This is according to Nasr’s version). Abu Dawud said: Mahna’ is reliable and he is from Basrah.

“The time of waiting for Nifas during the time of AIlah’s Messenger was forty days. We used to cover our faces with reddish-brown Wars.”

“When Allah revealed: And Hajj to the House is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, for whomever is able to bear the journey. They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Is that every year?’ He remained silent. So they said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Is that every year?’ He said: ‘No. If I had said yes, then it would have been made obligatory.’ So Allah revealed: O you who believe! Do not ask about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble.

The Messenger of Allah said: “Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up (for it). Whoever follows it, then do not sit down until it is put down.”

“Three men whose bellies were fat, but whose hearts had little understanding, were arguing at the House. Two of them were from Quraish and one was from Thaqif – or two from Thaqif, and one from Quraish. One of them said: ‘Do you think that Allah can hear what we are saying?’ Another said: ‘He can hear if we are loud, but He can not hear when we are quiet.’ Another said: ‘If He can hear when we are loud then He can hear when we are quiet.’ So Allah, the Mighty and Sublime revealed: And you have not been hiding yourselves, lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you (41:22).”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to perform prayer when I was opposite to him, and his garment would sometimes touch me when he prostrated.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never criticized any food. If it pleased him, he would eat it and if it did not he would leave it.” Another chain reports the same.
