“We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and they could not find any water. A vessel was brought to him and he put his hand in it, and I saw water springing from between his fingers. He said: ‘Come to a means of purification and a blessing from Allah, may He be glorified.'” (One of the narrators) Al-A’mash said: “Salim bin Abi Al-Ja’d told me: I said to Jabir: “How many were you that day?’ He said: “One thousand five hundred.”
“I said to ‘Amr: ‘Did you hear Jabir say: “A man passed through the Masjid carrying arrows, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: ‘Hold then by the blades.’? He said: ‘Yes.'”
“The Prophet was in front of Abu Bakr and he prayed sitting down, and Abu Bakr was leading the people in prayer, and the people were behind Abu Bakr.”
“I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) raise his hands until they reached the highest part of his ears, when he said the takbir, when he bowed and when he raised his head from bowing.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The prayer is not valid if a man does not bring his backbone to rest while bowing and prostrating.'”
“Be moderate in bowing and prostration, and do not rest your forearms along the ground like a dog.”
They were with ‘Abdullah in his house and he said: “Have these people prayed?” We said: “Yes.” So he led them in prayer and stood between them, with no Adhan and no Iqamah, and said: “If you are three then do this, and if you are more than that then let one of you lead the others in prayer, and let him lay his hands on his thighs. It is as if I can see the fingers of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), interlaced.'”
He saw the Prophet (ﷺ) raise his hands when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing, until they were in level with the highest part of his ears.
“We used to pray Zuhr with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and I would take a handful of pebbles in my hand to cool them down, then I would pass them from one hand to the other, and when I prostrated I would put them down to lay my forehead on them.”
“I was sitting with Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa’eed. One of them narrated the hadith about intercession and the other was listening. He said: ‘Then the angels will come and intercede, and the messengers will intercede.’ And he mentioned the Sirat, and said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘I will be the first one to cross it, and when Allah has finished passing judgment among His creation, and has brought forth from the Fire those whom He wants to bring forth, Allah will command the angels and the messengers to intercede, and they will be recognized by their signs, for the Fire will consume all of the son of Adam apart from the place of prostration. Then the water of life will be poured on them, and they will grow like seeds on the banks of a rainwater stream.”
“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prostrated, he would hold his arms out to his sides, so that the whiteness of his armpits could be seen from behind. And when he sat he rested on his left thigh.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught us the tashahhud for prayer and the tashahhud for Al-Hajah. The tashahhud for prayer is: At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibat, as-salamu ‘alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatAllahi wa baraktuhu. As-salamu ‘alaina wa ‘ala ‘ibad illahis-salihin, ashahdu an la illaha ill-Allah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluhu (Allah compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah (SWT) and his blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah (SWT). I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).’ (to the end of the tashahhud)”
“I heard Sufyan reciting this tashahhud in the obligatory and voluntary prayers, and he said: ‘Abu Ishaq narrated to us from Abu Al-Ahwas from Abdullah, from the Prophet (ﷺ).'” And Mansur and Hammad narrated to us from Abu Wa’il, from Abdullah, from the Prophet (ﷺ).
“We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we did not know anything, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: “Every time you sit (in prayer), say: At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibat, as-salamu ‘alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatAllahi wa baraktuhu. As-salamu ‘alaina wa ‘ala ‘ibad illahis-salihin, ashahdu an la illaha ill-Allah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluhu (Allah compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah (SWT) and his blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah (SWT). I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).”
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “If one of you is not sure about his prayer, let him forget about what he is unsure of and complete his prayer on the basis of what he is sure of. When he is sure that he has completed it, let him prostrate twice while he is sitting. Then if he has prayed five (rak’ahs), they (the two prostrations) will make his prayer even-numbered, and if he had prayed four, they will annoy and humiliate the shaitan.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “If one of you does not know whether he prayed three or four (rak’ahs), let him pray a rak’ah then prostrate twice after that when he is sitting. Then if he prayed five (rak’ahs), they (the two prostrations) will make his prayer even-numbered, and if he had prayed four, they will annoy and humiliate the shaitan.”
“If one of you is not sure about his prayer, let him estimate what he thinks is most likely to be correct and complete the prayer on that basis, then let him prostrate twice.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If one of you is not sure about his prayer, let him estimate and prostrate twice after he has finished.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed and did more or less (rak’ahs). When he had said the taslim, it was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, has there been some change concerning the prayer?’ He said: ‘If there had been some change concerning the prayer, I would have told you. Rather I am a human being and I forget as you forget. If any one of you is not sure about his prayer, let him consider an estimate of what is correct, and complete his prayer on that basis, then say the taslim and prostrate twice.'”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When any one of you gets up and prays, the Shaitan comes to him an confuses him until he does not know how many (Rak’ahs) he prayed. If any one of you notices that, let him prostrate twice when he is sitting.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When the call to prayer is given, the Shaitan runs away breaking wind loudly. When the Tathwb (Iqamah) is completed, he comes back and whispers to a man in his hear, until he does not know how many (rak’ahs) he has prayed. If any one of you notices that, let him prostrate twice.'”
“I used to see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying the taslim to his right and to his left until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say the salam to his right so that the whiteness of his cheek could be seen, and to his left so that the whiteness of his cheek could be seen.”
“I used to lead my people Bani Salim in prayer. I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: ‘I have lost my eyesight and the rainwater prevents me from reaching the masjid of my people. I would like you to come and pray in my house in a place that I can take as a masjid.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘I will do that, if Allah (SWT) wills.’ The next day, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came, and Abu Bakr was with him, after the day had grown hot. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for permission to enter, and I gave him permission. He did not sit own until he asked: ‘Where would you like me to pray in your house?’ I showed him the place where I wanted him to pray, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood there and formed a row behind him, then he said the salam and we said the salam when he did.”
He said to ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar: “We find (mention of) prayer when one is at home (i.e., not traveling) and prayer at times of fear in the Qur’an, but we do not find any mention in the Qur’an of prayer when traveling. Ibn Umar said to him: ‘O son of my brother, Allah (SWT) send Muhammad (ﷺ) to us when we did not know anything, and all we should do is to do that which we saw Muhammad (ﷺ) doing.'”
“Our companions narrated to us that Abu ‘Ubaidah said: ‘Fasting is a shield, so long as you do not damage it.”‘
“For those who fast there is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Rayyan, through which no one but they will enter. When the last of them has entered it, it will be closed. Whoever enters through it will drink, and whoever drinks will never thirst again.”
“Whoever spends on a pair (of things) in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, he will be called in Paradise: ‘O slave of Allah, here is prosperity, Whoever is one of the people of Salah, he will be called from the gate of salah. Whoever is on of the people of charity, he will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyan.’ Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, no distress or need will befall the one who is called from those gates. Will there be anyone who will be called from all these gates?’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them.”‘
It was narrated that Sahl bin Sa’d said: “I was among the people when a woman said: ‘I offer myself (in marriage) to you, O Messenger of Allah, see what you think of me.’ A man stood up and said: ‘Marry me to her.’ He said: ‘Go and find (something), even if it is an iron ring.’ So he went, but he could not find anything, not even an iron ring. So the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Do you have (memorized) any surahs of the Qur’an?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ So he married him to her on the basis of what he knew of surahs of the Qur’an.”
It was narrated from ‘Aishah, the wife of the Prophet, that the Messenger of Allah came to her when Allah commanded him to give his wives the choice. ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah started with me and said: ‘I am going to tell you something, but you do not have to rush until you consult your parents.'” She said: “He knew that my parents would not tell me to leave him.” Then the Messenger of Allah said: ‘O Prophet! Say to your wives: If you desire the life of this world, and its glitter, then come! I will make a provision for you and set you free in a handsome manner.’ “I said: ‘Do I need to consult my parents about this? I choose Allah and His Messenger, and the abode of the Hereafter.'”
It was narrated that ‘Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: “The Messenger of Allah gave his wives the choice (of staying with him) was it divorce?”
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah did not die until Allah permitted him to marry whatever women he wanted.”
“The dowry, when the Messenger of Allah was among us, was ten Awaq.”
“Umar bin Al-Khattab said: ‘Do not go to extremes with regard to the dowries of women, for if that were a sign of honor and dignity in this world, or a sign of piety before Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, then Muhammad would have done that before you. But he did not give any of his wives, and none of his daughters were given, more than twelve Uqiyyah. A man may increase the dowry until he feels resentment against her and says: You cost me everything I own (‘Alaqul-Qirbah)'” “And I was a man born among the ‘Arabs, but I did not know the meaning of ‘Alaqul-Qirbah’ and others of you are saying -about those killed in this or that battle of yours, or who died: ‘So-and-so was martyred’ or ‘so and so died as a martyr.’ While perhaps he merely overloaded the backside of his beast, or lined his saddle with gold or silver seeking trade. So do not say that, rather say as the Prophet said: ‘Whoever is killed in the cause of Allah, or dies, then he is in Paradise.'”
“How much did you give her?” He said: “A Nawah (five Dirhams) of gold.” The Messenger of Allah said: “Give a Walimah (wedding feast) even if it is with one sheep.”
“The Messenger of Allah saw me looking cheerful as I had just got married.” I said: “I have gotten married to a woman of the Ansar.” He said: “How much did you give her as a dowry?” He said: “A Nawah (five Dirhams) of gold.”
“That a woman from Aslam who was called Subai’ah was married to her husband, and he died while she was pregnant. Abu As-Sanabil bin Ba’kak proposed to her but she refused to marry him. He said: ‘You cannot get married until you have observed ‘Iddah for the longer of the two periods.’ Approximately twenty days later she gave birth. She went to the Messenger of Allah and he said: ‘Get married.'”
‘Why do I see you adorned? Perhaps you want to get married, but by Allah you will not get married until four months and ten days have passed.’ Subai’ah said: ‘When he said that to me, I put on my clothes in the evening and went to the Messenger of Allah and asked him about that. He ruled that it had become permissible for me to marry when I gave birth, and he told me to get married if I wanted to.'”
A man came to the Messenger of Allah and said: “O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if someone comes to steal my wealth?” He said: “Urge him by Allah.” He said: “What if he persists?” He said: “Urge him by Allah.” He said: “What if he persists?” He said: “Urge him by Allah.” He said: “What if he persists?” He said: “Then fight. If you are killed you will be in Paradise and if you kill him, he will be in the Fire.”
“I heard a woman asking ‘Aishah about dyeing the hair with Henna. She said: ‘There is nothing wrong with it, but I do not like to do it because my beloved- meaning the Prophet – disliked its smell.'”
“I saw Ibn ‘Umar dyeing his beard yellow and I asked him about that. ‘He said: “I saw the Prophet dye his beard yellow.”
“The Prophet used to wear Sibtiyyah sandals and dye his beard yellow with Wars and saffron.” And Ibn ‘Umar used to do that.
Masruq said on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mas’ud: Abdullah (ibn Mas’ud ) was asked about a man who had married a woman without cohabiting with her or fixing any dower for her till he died. Ibn Mas’ud said: She should receive the full dower (as given to women of her class), observe the waiting period (‘Iddah), and have her share of inheritance. Thereupon Ma’qil ibn Sinan said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) giving the same decision regarding Birwa’ daughter of Washiq (as the decision you have given).
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Sahl bin Sa’d through a different chain of narrators. This version has “She was pregnant, he denied pregnancy from him. So her son was attributed to her. In the law of succession the practice (sunnah) was established that the son gets a share in the inheritance of his mother and the mother gets the share in the inheritance of her son according to the shares prescribed by Allaah the Exalted.
That Abu ad-Darda’ narrated to him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) vomited and broke his fast. Then I met Thawban, the client of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), in the mosque in Damascus, I said (to him): Abu al-Darda has told me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) vomited and broke his fast. He said: He spoke the truth ; and I poured out water for his ablution (ﷺ).
(At the battle of Badr) Utbah ibn Rabi’ah came forward followed by his son and his brother and cried out: Who will be engaged in single combat? Some young men of the Helpers responded to his call. He asked: Who are you? They told him. He said: We do not want you; we, in fact, want only our cousins. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Get up Hamzah get up Ali; get up Ubaydah ibn al-Harith. Hamzah went forward to Utbah, I went forward to Shaybah; and after two blows had been exchanged between Ubaydah and al-Walid, they wounded one another severely; so we turned against al-Walid and killed him, and we carried Ubaydah away.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah Most High says: Pride is my cloak and majesty is my lower garment, and I shall throw him who view with me regarding one of them into Hell.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed the woman who adds some false hair and the woman who asks for it, the woman who tattoos and the woman who asks for it.
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and made acknowledgment before him that he had committed fornication with a woman whom he named. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent someone to the woman and he asked her about it. She denied that she had committed fornication. So he gave him the prescribed punishment of lashes and left her.
‘Umar gave judgement that bloodwit for quasi-intentional murder should be thirty she-camels in their fourth year, thirty she-camels in their fifth year, and forty pregnant she-camels in their sixth year up to the ninth
Allah’s Messenger said: “Do not perform Istinja, with dung, nor with bones. For indeed it is provisions for your brothers among the Jinn.”
“Allah’s Messenger would talk during the night with Abu Bakr about matters concerning the Muslims while I was with them.”
the Prophet said: “Let those among you with understanding and reason be close to me, then those after them, then those after them. And do not separate or dissention will occur among your hearts, and beware of the commotion of the markets.”
“Allah’s Messenger would say the Takbir for every lowering and raising, standing and sitting, and (so did) Abu Bakr and Umar.”
Abdullah bin Mas’ud said: “Shall I not demonstrate the Salat of Allah’s Messenger to you?” Then he offered Salat and he did not raise his hands except while saying the first Takbir.”
The Hadith of Ibn Buhainah is a Hasan Hadith, and this is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. It is the opinion of Ash-Shafi’i, he held the view that all prostrations for As-Sahw were to be performed before the Salam, saying: “This one abrogates the other Ahadith” and he mentioned that the last action of the Prophet (ﷺ) was according to this. Ahmad and Ishaq said: “When a man stands up after two Rak’ah, then he performs the prostrations for As-Sahw before the Salam according to the Hadith of Ibn Buhainah.” ‘Abdullah bin Buhainah is ‘Abdullah bin Malik Ibn Buhainah (because) Malik is his father and Buhainah is his mother. I was informed of this by Ishaq bin Mansur from ‘Ali bin Al-Madini. Abu ‘Eisa said: The people of knowledge differ over when a man is to perform the prostrations of As-Sahw, is it before the Salam or after it. Some of them thought that her performs them after the Salam. This is the view of Sufyan Ath-Thawri and the people of Al-Kufah. Some of them said he performs them before the Salam. This is the view of most of the Fuqaha among the people of Al-Madinah, like Yahya bin Sa’eed, Rabi’ah, and others. This is also the saying of Ash-Shafi’i. Some of them said when he adds to the Salat, then it is after the Salam, and when he leaves something out, then before the Salam. This is the view of Malik bin Anas. Ahmad said: “Whatever is reported from the Prophet (ﷺ) about the prostrations from As-Sahw then it is acted upon in either case.” He saw that when one stands after Rak’ah then according to the Hadith of Ibn Buhainah, he is to perform the prostrations before the Salam. When he prays five for Zuhr, then performs the prostrations after the Salam, and if he says Salam after two Rak’ahs of Zuhr or ‘Asr then he performs the prostrations after the Salam. All of them are to be acted upon depending upon the case, and in the cases where nothing is reported from the Prophet (ﷺ), then two prostrations are performed for As-Sahw before the Salam. Ishaq said the same as Ahmad about all of this, with the exception that he said that for every case of As-Sahw that is not mentioned from the Prophet (ﷺ), then if it is an addition to the Salat, then prostrations are performed after the Salam, and if it is something that was left out, then the prostrations are performed before the Salam.
“The Prophet (S) prayed five (Rakah) for Zuhr, so it was said to him: ‘Has the prayer been added to, or have you merely forgotten?’ So he (S) performed two prostrations after he had said the Salam.”
“When Allah’s Messenger descending the Minbar he would face our direction.”
“The Messenger of Allah would kiss and fondle while he was fasting, and he had the most control among you of his limbs.”
“I saw the Messenger of Allah while he was dying. He had a cup with water in it, he put his hand in the cup then wiped his face with the water, then said: ‘O Allah! Help me with the throes of death and the agony of death.'”
The Prophet said: “The believer dies with sweat on his brow.”
The Prophet entered upon a young man while he was dying. So he said: “How do you feel?” He said: “By Allah! O Messenger of Allah! Indeed I hope in Allah and I fear from my sins.” So the Messenger of Allah said: “These two will not be gathered in a worshipper’s heart at a time such as this, except that Allah will grant him what he hopes and make him safe from what he fears.”
“The Messenger of Allah returned his daughter Zainab to Abul-As bin Ar-Rabi with a new dowry and a new wedding.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon me, while `Ali was with him, and we had a cluster of unripe dates hanging.” She said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) began eating, and `Ali ate with him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to `Ali: ‘Stop, stop, for you are still recovering.’ So `Ali sat and the Prophet (ﷺ) ate.” She said: “I made some chard and barley for them, so the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘O `Ali eat from this, for indeed it will be more suitable for you.” Another chain reports a similar narration.
My father narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saying: “There is nothing to Al-Ham, and the eye is real.”
“If there was anything that could overcome the Decree then the (evil) eye would overcome it, and when you are requested to wash (due to it) then wash.”
When ‘Uthman would stop at a grave he would cry until his beard was soaked (in tears). It was said to him: ‘The Paradise and the Fire were mentioned and you did not cry, yet you cry because of this?’ So he said: ‘Indeed the Messenger of Allah said: “Indeed the grave is the first stage among the stages of the Hereafter. So if one is saved from it, then what comes after it is easier than it. And if one is not saved from it, then what comes after it is worse than it.” And the Messenger of Allah said: “I have not seen any sight except that the grave is more horrible than it.”
that Umm Salamah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would separate recitation reciting: ‘Al-Hamdulillahi Rabbil-‘Alamin’ then he would stop. ‘Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim’ then he would stop. And he would recite it: ‘Maliki Yawmid-Din.'”
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When Allah drowned Fir’awn he said: ‘I believe that there is no god except the One that the children of Isra’il believe in.’ So Jibrail said: ‘O Muhammad! If you could only have seen me, while I was taking (the mud) from the sea, and filling his mouth out of fear that the mercy would reach him.'”
“When this Ayah was revealed about Zainab bint Jahsh: ‘So when Zaid had completed his aim with her, We gave her to you in marriage (33:37)’ – he said: “She used to boast to the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ): ‘Your families married you (to him) while Allah married me (to him) from above the Seven Heavens.'”
that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “A caller will call out: ‘You shall have life and never die; you shall be healthy and never be ill; you shall be young and never grow old; you shall live in favor and never suffer difficult circumstances.’ That is the saying of Allah Most High: This is Paradise, which you have been made to inherit because of your deeds that you used to do (43:72).”
from Zaid bin Aslam, from his father who said: “I heard ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab saying: ‘We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during one of his journeys when I said something to him but he was silent. Then I said something again but he was silent. I quickened my pace of mount to go to the other wise. I said: “May your mother lose you O Ibn Al-Khattab! You pestered the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) three times, each time he did not reply to you! You deserve that something be revealed about you in the Qur’an.'” He (‘Umar) said: “It was not long before I heard a voice calling me.’ So I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: “O Ibn Al-Khattab! A Surah was revealed to me last night which is dearer to me than what the sun rises upon: Verily, We have given you a manifest victory (48:1).'”
from his father, from the Prophet (ﷺ) (regarding this Ayah): ‘And made them stick to the word of Taqwa (48:26).’ He (ﷺ) said (the word is): “La Ilaha Illallah.”
“I heard Muhammad bin Ka’b Al-Qurazi – forty years ago – narrating from Zaid bin Arqam that during the battle of Tabuk, Abdullah bin Ubayy said: “If we return to Al-Madinah, indeed the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner.” He said: ‘So I went to the Prophet and mentioned that to him, but he (Abdullah) took an oath that he did not say it. My people blamed me for that, they said: “What did you expect to accomplish from this?’ So I went to my house and slept full of grief. Then the Prophet came to me’ or ‘I went to him, and he said: “Indeed Allah has verified the truth of what you said.” He said: ‘So this Ayah was revealed: there are the ones who say: “Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah until they desert from him.”
“A man stood up in front of Al-Hasan bin Ali, after he pledged to Mu’awiyah, so he said: ‘You have made fools of the believers.’ – or: ‘O you who has made fools of the believers’ – So he said: ‘Do not scold me so, may Allah have mercy upon you, for indeed the Prophet had a dream in which he saw Banu Umayyah upon his Minbar. That distressed him, so (the following) was revealed: Verily We have granted you Al-Kauthar (O Muhammad) meaning a river in Paradise, and (the following) was revealed: ‘Verily We have sent it down on the Night of Al-Qadr. And what will make you know what the Night of Al-Qadr is? The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months, in which Banu Umayyah rules after you O Muhammad.” Al-Qasim said: “So we counted them, and found that they were one-thousand months, not a day more nor less.”
“The Prophet (ﷺ) said to my father: ‘O Husain, how many deities do you worship now?‘ He said: ‘Seven. Six in the earth, and one above the heavens.’ He said: ‘So which of them do you take for your ardent requests and fears?’ He said: ‘The one above the heavens.’ He said: ‘O Husain, if you would but accept Islam, I would teach you two phrases that would benefit you.’” He said: “So when Husain accepted Islam, he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, teach me the two phrases you promised me.’ So he (ﷺ) said: “Say: O Allah, inspire me with my guidance, and protect me from the evil of my soul (Allāhumma alhimnī rushdī, wa a`idhnī min sharri nafsī).’”
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “No one should convey to me anything regarding any of my Companions, for I love that I should go out to them while my breast is at peace.” ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was brought some wealth, so the Prophet (ﷺ) distributed it. Then I came across two men that were sitting saying: ‘By Allah! Muhammad (ﷺ) did not intend the Face of Allah in his distribution, nor the abode of the Hereafter.’ So I spread this when I heard them, and I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and I informed him. So his face became red and he said: ‘Do not bother me with this, for indeed Musa was afflicted by more than this and he was patient.'”
Mu’adh bin Jabal used to narrate something that the Companions of the Messenger of Allah had not heard, and he used to keep quiet about what they had heard. News of this report reached ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr, and he said: “By Allah, I never heard the Messenger of Allah say this, and Mu’adh will put you into difficulty with regard to relieving yourself.” News of that reached Mu’adh, so he met with him (‘Abdullah). Mu’adh said: “O ‘Abdullah! Denying a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah is hypocrisy, and its sn is upon the one who said it (if it is not true). I did indeed hear the Messenger of Allah say: ‘Beware of the three things which provoke curses: Relieving oneself in watering places, in places of shade and in the middle of the street.'”
“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Those who walk to the mosque in the dark are those who are diving into the mercy of Allah.'”
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said, and this is the Hadith of Abu Bakr. “During the period after he finished the ‘Isha’ prayer until the Fajr, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray eleven Rak’ah, saying the Salam after each two Rak’ah and praying Witr with one Rak’ah. He would prostrate for as long as it takes anyone of you to recite fifty Verses before he would raise his head. When the Mu’adh-dhin fell silent after the first Adhan for the Subh prayer, he would get up and pray two brief Rak’ah.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘A man’s prayer in his house is equal (in reward) to one prayer; his prayer in the mosque of the tribes is equal to twenty-five prayers; his prayer in the mosque in which Friday prayer is offered is equal to five-hundred prayers; his prayer in Aqsa Mosque is equal to fifty thousand prayers; his prayer in my mosque is equal to fifty thousand prayers; and his prayer in the Sacred Mosque is equal to one hundred thousand prayers.”
“The Imam should not pray in the place where he offered the obligatory prayer, until he moves aside.” Another chain from Mughirah, from the Prophet (ﷺ) with similar wording.
It was narrated from Jabir bin Samurah that a man from among the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) was wounded, and the wound caused him a great deal of pain. He went and took a spearhead, and slaughtered himself with it. The Prophet (ﷺ) did not offer the funeral prayer for him, and that was as an admonition for others.
“We went out with the Prophet (ﷺ) and when we reached Al-Baqi’, we saw a new grave. He asked about it and they said: ‘(It is) so-and-so (a woman).’ He recognized the name and said: ‘Why did you not tell me about her?’ They said: ‘You were taking a nap and you were fasting, and we did not like to disturb you.’ He said: ‘Do not do that; I do not want to see it happen again that one of you dies, while I am still among you, and you do not tell me, for my prayer for him is a mercy.’ Then he went to the grave and we lined up in rows behind him, and he said four Takbir (i.e. for the funeral prayer).”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Najashi has died.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his Companions went out to Al-Baqi’, and we lined up in rows behind him, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went forward, then he said four Takbir.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Your brother Najashi has died, so offer the funeral prayer for him.” Then he stood and we prayed behind him. I was in the second row and two rows prayed for him.”
‘Whoever offers the funeral prayer will have one Qirat; and whoever attends until the burial is over, will have two Qirat. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! The Qirat is greater than this (mountain of) Uhud.”
