“I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) wiping over the Khuff and the Khimar.” A head covering not limited to the common usage of “turban” as is clear from the first narration.
“I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wiping over the Khuff.”
“I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wiping over the Khimar and Khuff.”
“Pray where you are, for the Prophet (S.A.W)used to order the Mu’adhdhin, if it was a cold and rainy night, to say: ‘Pray in your dwellings.'”
Two men from the locality of Kindah came while AbuMas’ud al-Ansari was sitting n a circle. They said: Is there any man who decides between us. A man from the circle said: I, AbuMas’ud took a handful of pebbles and threw at him, saying: Hush! It is disapproved to make haste in decision.
“The Prophet wiped over the Khuff and the Khimar.”
“Allah’s Messenger said : ‘Do not say the Tathwib for any prayer except the Fajr prayer.'” There is something on this topic from Abu Mahdhurah. Abu `Eisa said: We do not know of the Hadith of Bilal except as a narration of Abu Isra’il Al-Mula’i. Abu Isra’il did not hear this Hadith from Al-Hakam bin `Utaibah. He said: He only reported it from Al-Hasan bin `Umarah, from Al-Hakam bin `Utaibah. Abu Isra’il’s name is [Isma`il bin Abi Ishaq, and he is not strong according to the people of Hadith. The people of knowledge have differed over the interpretation of At-Tathwib. Some of them say that At-Tathwib is when one says “As-Salatu Khairummin An-Nawm, (prayer is better than sleep)” for the Adhan of Fajr. This is the saying of Ibn Al-Mubarak and Ahmad. Ishaq said something different about At-Tathwib, he said: ” is something that the people started after the Prophet; when the Mu’adh-dhin calls the Adhan and the people are slow in coming, so between the Adhan and the Iqamah he says: ‘Qad Qamatis-Salat, Hayya `Alasalat, Hayya `AlalFalah. (Prayer is ready, come to prayer, come to success.)” This Tathwib, which Ishaq mentioned, is the one that the people of knowledge dislike, which they innovated after the Prophet. But Ibn Al-Mubarak and Ahmad explained that At-Tathwib is when the Mu’adh-dhin says: “As-Salatu Khairum minan-Nawm, (prayer is better than sleep)” for the Adhan of Fajr. And this is the correct saying, and it is called At-Tathawwub as well, and this is the one chosen by the people of knowledge, and it is their opinion. It has been reported from `Abdullah bin `Umar that he would say: “As-Salatu Khairum-minan-Nawm, (prayer is better than sleep)” for Fajr. It has been reported from Mujahid that he said: “I entered a Masjid with `Abdullah bin `Umar in which the Adhan was called, and we wanted to pray in it. Then the Mu’adh-dhin said the Tathwib. So `Abdullah bin `Umar left the Masjid and said: ‘Let us leave the place of this innovator’ And he did not pray in it.” `Abdullah only disliked the Tathwib that the people invented later on.
“The Prophet left me while he had a joyous look of contentment and he returned to me grieving. So I asked him about that and he said: ‘I entered the Ka’bah, and I wished that I had not done it. I fear that my Ummah will follow me (in that) after me.'”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘No prayer is acceptable in which a man does not settle his spine when bowing and when prostrating.’”
“Sahl bin Sa’d As-Sa’idi used to give preference to the young to lead his people in prayer. It was said to him: “Do you do that, when you have such seniority (in Islam)?” He said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘The Imam is responsible. If he does well, then he will have the reward and so will they, but if he does badly, then that will be counted against him but not against them.’”
“I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘A time will come when the people will stand for a long time and will not be able to find any Imam to lead them in prayer.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade drinking from Hantam, Dubba’ and Naqir.
