“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever does not trim his mustache, he is not from one of us.'”
“Bring me (water for) Wudu’.” So I brought him (water for) Wudu’, and he performed Wudu’ and wiped over his Khuffs. The Shaikh said: “Isma’il (one of the narrators) is Ibn Ja’far bin Abi Kathir Al-Qari. Meaning the author, and it appears that Ibn As-Sunni who heard the text, said this.
“Whoever tells you that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) urinated standing up, do not believe him, for he would not urinate except while squatting.”
“None of you should urinate in the place where he bathes, for most Waswas (devilish whispers) come from that.” I.e., with regard to whether the urine has soiled his body or not.
“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) started Salah, he would remain silent for a short while. I said: ‘May my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah! What do you say when you remain silent between the Takbir and the recitation (in the Salah)?’ He said: ‘I say: Allahumma ba’id baini was baina khatayaya kama ba’adta baina al-mashriq wal-maghrib; Allahumma naqqini min khatayaya kama yunaqqath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas; Allahummaghsilni min khatayaya bith-thalji wal-ma’i wal-barad (O Allah, out a great distance between me and my sins, as great as the distance You have made between the East and the West; O Allah, cleanse me of of sin as a white garment is cleansed from filth; Wash away my sins with snow, water, and hail)’.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If a dog licks the vessel of any one of you, let him throw (the contents) away and wash it seven times.'” Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: I do not know any one who followed ‘Ali bin Mushir in narrating it with: “Let him throw it away.”
“I was one who had a lot of prostatic discharge, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: ‘If you see Madhi (prostatic fluid) then wash your penis and perform Wudu’ like that for Salah, but if you ejaculate semen, then perform Ghusl.'”
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Ghusl and a cloth was brought to him, but he did not touch it, and he started doing like this with the water. This is a demonstration of his wiping off the water on his body with his hands.
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite Qur’an in all circumstances except when he was Junub.”
“The Prophet (ﷺ) would put his head out while he was in I’tikaf and I would wash it, while I was menstruating.”
“When any one of you prays, let him not spit in front of him or to his right, rather let him spit to his left or beneath his feet.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) spat like this on his garment and rubbed it.
“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say: ‘Allahummaghsil khatayaya bi-ma’ith-thalj wal-barad was naqqi qalbi min al-khataya kama naqayta ath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas (O Allah, wash away my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart of sin as a white garment is cleansed of filth).'”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would say: ‘Allahummaghsil khatayaya bi-ma’ith-thalj wal-barad (O Allah, wash away my sins with the water of snow and hail).'” That is at the beginning of Salah as is clear from the remainder of the narration which preceded under No. 60.
“The head of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would rest in the lap of one of us when she was menstruating, and he would recite Qur’an.”
That ‘Umar asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about Ghusl from Janabah – and the narrations agree on this – that one should start by pouring water on the right hand two or three times, then put the right hand into the vessel and pour water with it onto the private parts, with the left hand on the private parts to wash off whatever is there, until it is clean; then put the left hand on the dust if one wants to, then pour water over the left hand until it is clean; then wash the hands three times, (sniff water into the nose) and rinse the mouth, and wash the face and forearms, three times each until when reaching the head, he does not wipe the head, rather he pours water over it. This is how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed Ghusl according to what was mentioned.
‘ The time between these two is the time for prayer.'” Meaning Fajr, the morning prayer. The Fajr prayer was elongated because the Prophet recited at length during the prayer, so that it ended just before sunrise. That defined the end of the time for Fajr, as the beginning of the time was defined by the moment when he started the first Rak’ah.
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say on the Minbar: ‘Do not let the Bedouin make you change the name of your prayer; verily, it is ‘Isha’.'”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Fajr on the day of Khaibar during the time it was still dark, when he was near the enemy. Then he attacked them and said: ‘Allahu Akbar!

“Abu Tamim Al-Jaishani stood up to pray two Rak’ahs before Maghrib, and I said to ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir: ‘Look at this man, what prayer is he praying?’ He turned and looked at him, and said: ‘This is a prayer that we used to pray at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).'”
“When the dawn appears, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would only pray two short Rak’ahs.”
“Abdullah said: ‘The idolaters kept the Prophet (S.A.W) from (offering) four prayers on the day of Al-Khandaq, so he commanded Bilal to call the Adhan, then he said the Iqamah and prayed Zuhr, then he said the Iqamah and prayed ‘Asr, then he said the Iqamah and prayed the Maghrib, then he said the Iqamah and prayed ‘Isha’.'”
“When you hear the call, say what the Mu’adhdhin says.”
“I was sitting with Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif when the Mu’adhdhin called the Adhan. He said: ‘Allahu akbar; Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest),’ and he (also) pronounced the takbir twice. Then he said: ‘Ashhadu an la ialaha ill-Allah (I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah),’ and he also sent the testimony twice. Then he said: ‘Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasul-Allah (I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah),’ and he (also) sent the testimony twice. Then he said: ‘This is what Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan told me, narrating from statement of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W).'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to gently pat our shoulders (to make sure the row was straight) at the time of prayer, and he would say: ‘Keep (the rows) straight; do not differ from one another lest your hearts should suffer from discord. Let those who are mature and wise stand closest to me, then those who are next to them, then those who are next to them.”‘
“One day the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Fajr, then he said: ‘Did so-and-so attend the prayer? They said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘(What about) so-and-so? They said:’No’ He said: ‘These two prayers. are the most burdensome for the hypocrites. If they knew what (virtue) there is in them, they would come, even if they had to crawl. And the virtue of the first row is like that of the row of the angels. If you knew its virtue, you would compete for it. A man’s prayer with another man is greater in reward than his prayer alone. And a man’s prayer with two other men is greater in reward than his prayer with one other man; the more people there are, the more beloved that is to Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.”‘
He saw a man praying with his feet together. He said: “He is not following the Sunnah. If he were to shift his weight from one to the other I would like that better.”
The Prophet (ﷺ), Abu Bakr, and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, would start their recitation with: “All the praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, did not reveal in the Tawrah or the Injil anything like Umm Al-Quran (Al-Fatihah), which is the seven oft-recited, and (Allah said) it is divided between Myself and My slave will have what he asked for.'”

“I used to listen to the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting Quran when I was on my roof.”
He asked Umm Salamah about the recitation and prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and she said: “Why do you want to know about his prayer?” Then she described his recitation and as being so measured and clear that each letter could be distinguished.
“I came to Al-Madinah and said: ‘I am going to watch the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pray. He said the takbir and raised his hands until I saw his thumbs near his ears. When he wanted to bow, he said the takbir and raised his hands. Then he raised his head and said: ‘Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him).’ Then he said the takbir and prostrated, and his hands were in the same position in relation to his ears as when he started the prayer.”
When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed he held his arms out so much that the whiteness of his armpits appeared.

“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood to pray, he said the takbir, when he (started), then he said the takbir when he bowed, then he said: ‘Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him)’, when he stood up from bowing. Then he said when he was standing: ‘Rabbana lakal-hamd.’ Then he said the takbir when he went down in prostration, then he said the takbir when he raised his head, and he did that throughout the entire prayer until he finished it, and he said the takbir when he stood up after the first two rak’ahs, after sitting.”
His father (Ibn ‘Umar) said: “One of the sunnahs of the prayer is to hold the right foot upright and point its toes toward the Qiblah, and to sit on the left foot.”

A man saw in a dream that it was said to him: “What does your Prophet (ﷺ) command you to do?” He said: “He commanded us to say Tasbih thirty-three times following the prayer, and to say the tahmid thirty-three times, and to say the takbir thirty-four times, and that makes one-hundred.” He said: Say the tasbih twenty-five times and say the tahmid twenty-five times and say the takbir twenty-five times and say the tahlil twenty-five times, and that will make one hundred.” The following morning he told the Prophet (ﷺ) about that and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Do what the Ansari said.”

When he finished the prayer, he stood leaning on Bilal, and he praised and glorified Allah (SWT) and exhorted the people, reminding them and urging them to obey Allah (SWT). Then he moved away and went to the women, and Bilal was with him. He commanded them to fear Allah (SWT) and exhorted them and reminded them. He praised and glorified Allah, then he urged them to obey Allah, then he said: ‘Give charity, for most of you are the fuel of Hell.’ A lowly woman with dark cheeks said: ‘Why, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘You complain a great deal and are ungrateful to your husbands.’ They started taking off their necklaces, earrings and rings, throwing them into Bilal’s garment, giving them in charity.”
When Muhammad bin Abi Sufyan was dying, he was greatly distressed and said: “My sister Umm Habibah bint Abi Sufyan said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whoever maintains four rak’ahs before Zuhr and four after, Allah (SWT) will forbid him from the Fire.'”
“The deceased is punished due to his family’s wailing for him.” A man said to him: “A man died in Khurasan and his family wailed for him here; will he be punished due to his family’s wailing?” He said: “The Messenger of Allah spoke the truth and you are a liar.”

Ziyad came out, walking in front of the bier, and some men from the family of ‘Abdur-Rahman and their freed slaves came out, facing the bier and walking backward, saying: ‘Slow down, slow down, may Allah bless you.’ And they were walking slowly. Then when they were partway to Al-Mrbad, Abu Bakrah joined us on his mule. When he saw what they were doing, he rushed to them on his mule, brandishing his whip, and said: ‘Move on, for by the One Who honored the face of Abu Al-Qasim, I remember when we were with the Messenger of Allah, we were walking fast, so the people speeded up.”‘
“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘When you see a funeral, stand up, and whoever follows it, let him not sit down until (the body) is placed (in the grave).”
“The Messenger of Allah commanded us to do seven things, and forbade us form seven things. He commanded us to visit the risk, to reply (say: Yarhamuk Allah, may Allah have mercy on you) to one who sneezes, to fulfill our oaths, to support the oppressed, to spread the greeting of Salam, to accept invitation, and to attend funerals.

He had been looking after some livestock for them, and when he came they gave him his share. He said: “What is this?” They said: “A share that the Prophet has allocated to you.” He took it and brought it to the Prophet and said: “What is this?” He said: “I allocated it to your.” He said: “It is not for this that I follwed you. Rather I followed you so that I might be shot her – and he pointed to his throat – with an arrow and die and enter Paradise.” He said: “If you are sincere toward Allah, Allah will fulfill your wish.” Shortly after that they got up to fight the enemy, then he was brought to the Prophet; he had pointed to. The Prophet said: “Is it him?” They said: “yes.” He said: “He was sincere toward Allah and Allah fulfilled his wish.” Then the Prophet shrouded him in his own cloak and out him in front of him and offered the (funeral) prayer for him. During his supplication he said: “O allah, this is Your sloave who went out as a emigrant (Muhajir) for your sake and was killed as a martyr; I am a witness to that.: (Sahih) .

A deceased person was brought to him and he said: ‘Does he owe any debt?’ They said: ‘Yes, he owes two Dinars.’ He said: ‘Pray for your companion.’ Abu Qatadah said: ‘I will pay them, O Messenger of Alllah, So he prayed for him.

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘The people will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection in three ways. (the first will be) those who have the hope (of Paradise) and the fear (of punishment).

“On the day of Hunain the Messenger of Allah took a hair from the side of a camel and said: ‘O you people, it is not permissible for me to take even the equivalent of this from the Fay’ that Allah has bestowed upon you, except the Khumus, and the Khumus will come back to you.” (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: Abu Sallam’s name is Mamtur and he is Ethiopian, and Abu Umamah’s name is Sudai bin ‘Ajlan.

And I mentioned to Muhammad that Yahya bin Ma’in said his name is Dinar, and he did not contradict him. Ahmad and 1shaq said ahout the Mustahadah: If she performs Ghusl for every prayer that is more prudent for her, and if she performs Wudu for each prayer, then that is acceptable from her, and if she combines between two prayers with (one) Ghusl then that is acceptable.

Go back and perform Salat, for indeed you have no prayed.’ So he returned to perform Salat then came and greeted the Prophet with Salam. So he (the Prophet) said (returning the greeting): ‘And upon you. Go back and perform Salat, for indeed you have not prayed.’ two or three times, each time coming to the Prophet, greeted the Prophet with Salam and the Prophet saying: ‘And upon you. Go back and perform Salat, for indeed you have not prayed.’ – until the people got scared and became very worried that one whose prayer was so brief had not actually prayed. Then in the end the man said: ‘Then show me, and teach me, for I am a human who has suffered and is mistaken.’ So he said: ‘Alright. When you stand for Salat then perform Wudu as Allah ordered you. Then say the Tashahhud, and the Iqamah as well. If you know any Quran then recite it, if not then praise Allah, mention His greatness, and the Tahlil. Then bow such that you are at rest in your bowing, then stand completely, then prostrate completely, then sit such that you are at rest while sitting them stand. When you have done that, then you have completed your Salat, and if you leave out something, then you have made your Salat deficient.’ And this was easier on them than the first matter, because if some of this was deficient, It would only reduce the reward of his Salat, it would not have gone entirely. “

Then he said the Takbir and prostrated in a manner the same or longer than his (normal) prostrations.”
“I heard Ali saying: ‘Indeed I am a man who, when I heard a Hadith from Allah’s Messenger (S) then Allah causes me to benefit from it as much as He wills for me to benefit from it. When a man among his Companions narrated to me I ask him to swear an oath to me about it, and when he swears an oath to me I trust him. And Abu Bakr narrated to me – and Abu Bakr told the truth – he said: “I heard Allah’s Messenger (S) saying: ‘There is no man who commits a sin, then makes Wudu, then performs Salat, then seeks forgiveness from Allah, except that Allah forgives him.’ Then he recited this Ayah: Those who when they have committed Fahishah or wronged themselves with eveil, remember Allah.

Which month do you order me to fast after the month of Ramadan?” He said: “If you will fast after the month of Ramadan, then fast Al-Muharram, for indeed it is Allah’s month in which there is a day that Allah accepted the repentance of a people, and in which He accepts the repentance of other people.”

From ‘Aishah that she wanted to purchase Barirah, but they (he owners) made the condition that they would retain the Wala’. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Buy her, the Wala’ is only for the one who gives the price, or for the one who grants the favor.” There is something on this topic from Ibn ‘Umar. 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.'”
That the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Do not go out to meet the market (caravan), do not leave animals un-milked (to deceive the buyer), nor out-spend one another.” There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Mas’ud and Abu Hurairah. The Hadith if Ibn ‘Abbas is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, they dislike selling the Muhaffalah, and it is the Musarrah that has not been milked by its owner in days or more than that, so the milk accumulates in its udder to impress the purchaser. This is a type of deceit and misrepresentation.
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever takes a false oath to deprive a Muslim of his wealth, he will meet Allah while He is angry with him.” Al-Ash’ath bin Qais said: “It is about me, by Allah! There was a dispute about some land between myself and a man from the Jews who denied my ownership of it, so I took him to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: ‘Do you have any proof ?’ I said: ‘No’. So he said to Jew: ‘Take an oath.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! If he takes an oath then my property will be gone!’ So Allah, Most High revealed: Verily those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant and their oaths.. until the end of the Ayah.” There are narrations on this topic from Wa’il bin Hujr, Abu Musa, Abu Umamah bin Tha’labah Al-Ansari, and ‘Imran bin Husain. The Hadith of Ibn Mas’ud is a Hasan Sahih Hadith.
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Do not practice An-Najsh.” There are narrations on this topic from Ibn ‘Umar and Anas. The Hadith of Abu Hurairah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, they disliked An-Najsh. An-Najsh is when a man who knows about the goods comes to the owner of the goods to offer him more than what it is worth, doing so in the presence of the buyer. He intends to seduce the buyer while he himself does not want to buy it, rather he only wants to deceive the buyer with his offer. And this is type of deceit. Ash-Shafi’i said: “If a man commits An-Najsh the he has sinned due to what he has done, but the sale is permissible, because the buyer did not commit An-Najsh.”
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When you see someone selling or buying in the Masjid then say: ‘May Allah not profit your business.’ And when you see someone announcing about something lost then say: ‘May Allah not return it to you.'” The Hadith of Abu Hurairah is Hasan Gharib. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. They dislike selling and buying in the Masjid. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishaq. Some of the people of knowledge permitted selling and buying in the Masjid.

Irrigate (your land) then let the water pass to you neighbor.’ The Ansari became angry and said:’ Is this because he is your aunt’s son?’ The face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) changed color. Then he said: ‘O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) and then withhold the water until it reaches the walls.’ Az-Zubair said: ‘By Allah!

Then we will return to our places and our wives shall meet us saying: “Welcome and greetings, you have come, and you have beauty greater than what you parted us with.” So we will say: “Indeed we sat today with our Lord, the Powerful, and it is fitting that we should return with what we have returned with.’” (Da’if)

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.

It will be said: ‘Do you recognize this?’ They will say: ‘Yes. This is death.’ Then it will be laid down and slaughtered.
