“There are two things which I never asked anyone about after I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He was with us on a journey and he went away to relieve himself, then he came and performed Wudu’, and he wiped over his forehead and two sides of his ‘Imamah, and he wiped over his Khuffs.” He said: “And (the other issue) the Imam’s Salah behind one of his followers. I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was on a journey and time for prayer came. The Prophet (ﷺ) could not join them, so they called the Iqamah and they asked Ibn ‘Awf to lead them in prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and offered the remainder of the prayer behinf Ibn ‘Awf, then when Ibn ‘Awf said the Salah, the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up and completed what he had missed (of the prayer).”
It was narrated from Umm Qais bin Mihsan that she brought a small son of hers who has not started eating food to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took him in his lap and he urinated on his garment, so he called for some water and sprinkled it on it, but he did not wash it.

“I heard ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir say: ‘There are three times during which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade us from praying or burying our dead: When the sun had clearly started to rise until it was fully risen, when it was directly overhead at noon until it has passed the zenith, and when it was close to setting until it had fully set.'”

“The Mu’adhdhin will be forgiven as far as his voice reaches, and every wet and dry thing will bear witness for him.”
“Then Tashhad, then say the Iqamah.” And they say that the meaning of Tashhad here is call the Adhan. An-Nasai recorded the Hadith with different chains (1054, 1137, 1314,1315). Whereas the wording narrated by At- Tirmidhi, and the author in Al-Kubra, mentions what the author mentioned in the chapter, the other cited versions that An-Nasai in this hook quoted do not. So it is as if he narrated the chain here for Hadith, indicating the same version that At-Tirmidhi narrated, and he himself in Al-Kubra, but he did not want to narrate the actual text here. Abu Dawud also narrated it with the order for the Adhan and Iqamah, through a different route of transmission (No. 861). And it is among the proofs used for the view that the Adhan and Iqamah are obligatory – since it has been ordered in the Hadith of the one who prayed incorrectly.
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever is in the Masjid waiting for the prayer, he is in a state of prayer.'”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever does wudu’ properly, then walks to (attend) the prescribed prayer, and prays with the people or with the congregation or in the Masjid, Allah will forgive him his sins.”
“While we were praying with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), a man among the people said: ‘Allahu Akbaru kabira, wal-hamdu Lillahi kathira, wa subhan-Allahi bukratan was asila (Allah is Most Great and much praise be to Allah and glorified be Allah at the beginning and end of the day).’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Who is the one who said such and such?’ A man among the people said: ‘I did, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘ I like it,’ and he said words to the effect that the gates of the Heavens had been opened for it.” Ibn Umar said: “I never stopped saying it since I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say that.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) recited Surat Al-Baqarah, Al ‘Imran and An-Nisa’ in one rak’ah, and he did not reach any verse that spoke of mercy but he asked Allah for it, nor any verse that spoke of punishment but he asked Allah for protection therefrom.
“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.”
Muawiyah wrote to Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah saying: “Tell me of something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).” He said: “When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished praying, he would say: La Ilaha Illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir. Allahumma la mani’ lima a’taita wa la mu’tia lima mana’ta wa la yanfa’u dhal-jaddi minka al-jadd. (There is none worthy of worship except Allah (ﷺ) alone with no partner or associate. He is the Dominion and to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things. O Allah, one can withhold what You have given and none can give what You have withheld, and no wealth or fortune can benefit anyone for from You comes all wealth and fortune.)'”
“I went out to At-Tur and met Ka’b. He and I spent a day together, when I narrated things to him from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he narrated things to me from the Tawrah. I said to him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On this day, Adam was created, on this day he was sent down, on it his repentance was accepted, on this day he died, and on this day the Hour will begin. There is no living creature on Earth that does not listen out from Friday morning until the sun rises, fearing the onset of the Hour, except the son of Adam. On (Friday) there is an hour in which, if a believer prays and asks Allah for something, He will give it to him. Ka’b said: Is that one day in every year? I said: No, it is every Friday.’ Then Ka’b read in the Tawrah and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spoke the truth; it is every Friday. Then I went out and met Basrah bin Abi Basrah Al-Ghifari. He said: From where have you come? I said: From At-Tur. He said: If I had met you before you went there, you would not have gone. I said to him: Why? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Do not travel especially to visit any masjid except three: Al Masjid Al-Haram (in Makkah), my masjid (in Al-Madinah) and the Masjid of Bait Al-Maqdis (in Jerusalem). Then I met ‘Abdullah bin Salam and said: ‘If you had only seen me, I went to At-Tur and met Ka’b, and he and I spent the day together, when I narrated things to him from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he narrated things to me from the Tawrah. I said to him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On this day, Adam was created, on this day he was sent down, on this day his repentance was accepted, on this day he died, and on this day the Hour will begin. There is no living creature on Earth that does not listen out from Friday morning until the sun rises, fearing the onset of the Hour, except the son of Adam. On (Friday) there is an hour in which, if a believer prays and asks Allah for something, He will give it to him. Ka’b said: That is one day in every year. ‘Abdullah bin Salam said: Ka’b is not telling the truth. I said: Then Ka’b read (in the Tawrah) and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spoke the truth; it is every Friday. ‘Abdullah said: Ka’b spoke the truth; I know when that time is. I said: O my brother, tell me about it. He said: It is the last hour of Friday, before the sun sets. I said: Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If a believer prays, but that is not a time for prayer. He said: Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Whoever prays and sits waiting for the (next) prayer, is in a state of prayer until the next prayer comes? I said: Of course. He said: That is what it is.”
“My father told me: ‘I was with Ibn Umar on a journey, and he prayed Zuhr and ‘Asr with two rak’ahs each, then he went and sat on his carpet. He saw some people offering voluntary prayers and said: What are these people doing? I said: They are offering voluntary prayers. He said: If I had wanted to pray before and after (the obligatory prayer) I would have offered it in full. I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he did not pray more than two rak’ahs when traveling, and Abu Bakr (did likewise) until he died, as did ‘Umar and ‘Uthman, may Allah (SWT) be pleased with them all.”

He never did any evil or reached the age of puberty.” He said: “It is better not to say anything, O ‘Aishah Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, created Paradise and created people for it, He created them in the loins of their fathers. And He created Hell and created people for it, and He created them in the loins of their fathers.”
a man from among the Bedouins came to the Prophet and believed in him and followed him, then he said: “I will emigrate with you.” The Prophet told one of his Companions to look after him. During one battle the Prophet got some prisoners as spoils of war, and he distributed them, giving him (that Bedouin) a share. His Companions gave him what had been allocated to him. 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.

On the day of Arafat, Ibn Umar came to him when the sun had passed its zenith, and I was with him, and shouted near his cotton tent: ‘Where is he?’ Al-Hajjaj came out to him, wearing a wrap dyed with safflower.

Then Allah sent down: “They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war, Say: (Such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Apostle……Just as they Lord ordered thee out of thy house in truth, even though a party among the believers disliked it.” This proved good for them. Similarly obey me. I know the consequence of this better than you.
Makhul said: I was the slave of a woman of Banu Hudhayl; afterwards she emancipated me. I did not leave Egypt until I had acquired all the knowledge that seemed to me to exist there. I then came to al-Hijaz and I did not leave it until I had acquired all the knowledge that seemed to be available. Then I came to al-Iraq, and I did not leave it until I had acquired all the knowledge that seemed to be available. I then came to Syria, and besieged it. I asked everyone about giving rewards from the booty. I did not find anyone who could tell me anything about it. I then met an old man called Ziyad ibn Jariyah at-Tamimi. I asked him: Have you heard anything about giving rewards from the booty? He replied: Yes. I heard Maslamah al-Fihri say: I was present with the Prophet (ﷺ). He gave a quarter of the spoils on the outward journey and a third on the return journey.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The best time for a man to go in to his family on return from a journey is at the beginning of the night.

Ibn Isa added: (Ibn Abbas) and AbuHurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade the devil’s sacrifice. AbuIsa added in his version: This refers to the slaughtered animal whose skin cut off, and is then left to die without its jugular veins being severed.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Eat what ever is caught for you by a dog or a hawk you have trained and set off when you have mentioned Allah’s name. I said: (Does this apply) if it killed (the animal)? He said: When it kills it without eating any of it, for it caught it only for you. Abu Dawud said: If a hawk eats any of it, there is no harm (in eating it). If a dog eats it, it is disapproved (to eat the meat). If it drinks blood, there is no harm (in eating it).
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock. The amir (ruler) who is over the people is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock; a man is a shepherd in charge of the inhabitants of his household and he is responsible for his flock; a woman is a shepherdess in charge of her husband’s house and children and she is responsible for them; and a man’s slave is a shepherd in charge of his master’s property and he is responsible for it. So each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not divide the fifth among the Banu ‘Abd Shams and Banu Nawfal as he divided among the Banu Hashim and Banu ‘Abd al-Muttalib. He said: Abu Bakr used to divide (the fifth) like the division of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), except that he did not give the relatives of the Messenger of Allah as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) himself gave them. ‘Umar used to give them (from the fifth) and those who followed him.
Amr ibn Aws and AbulSha’tha’ reported that Bujalah said: I was secretary to Jaz’ ibn Mu’awiyah, the uncle of Ahnaf ibn Qays. A letter came to us from Umar one year before his death, saying: Kill every magician, separate the relatives of prohibited degrees from the Magians, and forbid them to murmur (before eating). So we killed three magicians in one day, and separated from a Magian husband his wife of a prohibited degree according to the Book of Allah. He prepared abundant food and called them, and placed the sword on his thigh. They ate (the food) but did not murmur. They threw (on the ground) one or two mule-loads of silver. Umar did not take jizyah from Magians until AbdurRahman ibn Awf witnessed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had taken jizyah from the Magians of Hajar.
on his father’s authority said his grandfather reported: He was a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: When Allah has previously decreed for a servant a rank which he has not attained by his action, He afflicts him in his body, or his property or his children. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Nufail added in his version: “He then enables him to endure that.” The agreed version goes: “So that He may bring him to the rank previously decreed from him by Allah.”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said about the futile oath: It is man’s speech in his house: No, by Allah, and Yes, by Allah. Abu Dawud said: Ibrahim al-Sa’igh, the narrator of this tradition , was a pious man. Abu Muslim killed him at ‘Aranda. When he raised a hammed and heard the call to prayer, he gave it up. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Dawud b. Abi al-Furat from Ibrahim al-Sa’igh as a statement of ‘Aishah (not attributed to the Prophet). Similarly, it has been transmitted by al-Zuhri, ‘Abd al-Malik b. Abi Sulaiman and Malik b. Mughul. All of them transmitted it from ‘Ata on the authority of ‘Aishah on her own statement.
On the authority of his father that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: I swear by Allah that if Allah wills I shall swear on an oath and then consider something else to be better than it without making atonement for my oath and doing the thing that is better.

“Apponting a way in the verse (iv.15) means prescribed punishment. Sufiyan said: “Punish them “refers to unmarried, and “confine them to houses” refers to the women who are married.
They shall receive a hundred lashes and toned to death.
A man and a woman of the Jews who were married committed fornication at the time when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Medina. Stoning was a prescribed punishment for them in accordance with the Torah, but they abandoned it and followed tajbiyyah, meaning, the man was beaten a hundred times with a rope painted with tar and was seated on a donkey with his face towards the tail of the donkey. Their rabbis then assembled and sent some people to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). They said to them: Ask him about the prescribed punishment for fornication. The transmitter then mentioned the rest of the tradition. They version adds: They were not the followers of his religion, and he (the prophet) was to pronounce judgment between them. So he was given a choice in this verse:”If they do come to thee, either judge between them, or decline to interfere.
The Jews brought a man and a woman of them who had committed fornication. He said: Bring me two learned men or yours. So they brought the two sons of Suriya. He adjured them and said: How do you think about the matter if these two persons bear witness to the effect that they have seen his sexual organ in her female organ (penetrated) like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case, they will be stoned to death. He asked: What is there which prevents you from stoning them: They replied : Our rule has gone, so we disapproved of killing. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then called four witnesses. They brought four witnesses. Who testified that they had seen his sexual organ (penetrated) in her female organ like a collyrium stick when enclosed in its case. The Prophet (ﷺ) then gave orders for stoning them.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) killed a man of Banu Nadr ibn Malik at Harrah ar-Righa’ at the bank of Layyat al-Bahrah. The transmitter Mahmud (ibn Khalid) also mentioned the words along with the words “at Bahrah” “the slayer and the slain were from among them”. Mahmud alone transmitted in this tradition the words “at the bank of Layyah”.
A girl was wearing silver ornaments. A Jew crushed her head with a stone. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon her when she had some breath. He said to her: Who has killed you ? Had so and so killed you ? She replied: No, making a sign with her head. He again asked: Who has killed you ? Has so and so killed you ? She replied: No, making a sign with her head. He again asked: Has so and so killed you ? She said: Yes, making sign with her head. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded regarding him, and he was killed between two stones.
On his father’s authority, said that his grandfather reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The blood-wit for a man who makes a covenant is half of the blood-wit for a free man. Abu Dawud said: It has been transmitted by Usamah b. Zaid al-Laithi and ‘Abd al-Rahman b. al-Harith on the authority of ‘Amr b. Suh’aib in similar manner.
I prayed the Friday prayer with al-Hajjaj and he addressed. He then transmitted the tradition of Abu Bakr b. ‘Ayyash. He said in it: Hear and obey the caliph of Allah and his select ‘Abd al-Malik bin Marwan. He then transmitted the rest of the tradition, and said: If I seized Rabi’ah for Mudar. But he did not mention the story of the clients (i.e. non Arabs).
If anyone removes his brother’s anxiety of this world, Allah will remove for him one of the anxieties of the Day of resurrection; if anyone makes easy for an impoverished man, Allah will make easy for him in this world and on the day of resurrection; if anyone conceals a Muslim’s secrets, Allah will conceal his secrets in this world and on the Day of resurrection; Allah will remain in the aid of a servant so long as the servant remains in the aid of his brother. Abu Dawud said: ‘Uthman did not transmit the following words from Abu Mu’awiyah: “if anyone makes easy for an impoverished man”.
A believer’s vision is the forty-sixth part of Prophecy.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: There are two qualities or characteristics which will not be returned by any Muslim without his entering Paradise. While they are easy, those who act upon them are few. One should say: “Glory be to Allah” ten times after every prayer, “Praise be to Allah” ten times and “Allah is Most Great” ten times. That is a hundred and fifty on the tongue, but one thousand and five hundred on the scale. When he goes to bed, he should say: “Allah is Most Great” thirty-four times, “Praise be to Allah” thirty-three times, and Glory be to Allah thirty-three times, for that is a hundred on the tongue and a thousand on the scale. (He said:) I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) counting them on his hand. The people asked: Messenger of Allah! How is it that while they are easy, those who act upon them are few? He replied: The Devil comes to one of you when he goes to bed and he makes him sleep, before he utters them, and he comes to him while he is engaged in prayer and calls a need to his mind before he utters them.
Make intercession, you will be rewarded, for I purposely delay a matter so that you intercede and then you are rewarded. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If you make intercession, you will be rewarded.
A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Abu Musa from the prophet (May peace be upon him) through a different chain of narrators.
I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Upon you be peace, Messenger of Allah! He said: Do not say: Upon you be peace, for “Upon you be peace” is the salutation to the dead.
“I asked the Prophet about Al-Madhi. He said: “For Al-Madhi is Wudu, and for AI-Mani is Ghusl.”
Ibn Abbas was asked ahout Tayammum. He said: “When Allah mentioned Wudu in His Book, He said: “So wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows.” And He said about Tayammum: “And rub therewith your faces and hands” And He said: “And the male thief and the female thief; cut off their hands.” So the Sunnah for cutting is the two hands. So it is only the face and the hands, meaning, Tayammum.”
A similar narration (from another chain linking to) this chain is also reported.
“The Prophet would dislike to sleep before Isha and to talk after it.”
“The idolaters kept Allah’s Messenger distracted from four prayers on the Day of Al-Khandaq (the battle of the Trench) until as much as Allah willed of the night had passed. So he ordered Bilal to call the Adhan, then he called the Iqamah to Zuhr, then he called the Iqamah to pray Asr, then he called the Iqamah to pray Maghrib, then he called the Iqamah to pray Isha.”
“I head more than one of the Companions of the Prophet; Umar bin Al-Khattab among, and he was one of the most beloved among them to me – (narrating) that Allah’s Messenger prohibited the Salat after Fajr until the sun had risen, and the Salat after Asr until the sun had set.”
“I attended Hajj with the Prophet. I prayed the Subh (Fajr) prayer with him in Masjid AI-Khaif.” He said: “When the Prophet finished, he turned (from the Qiblah) and saw two men at the back of the people who had not prayed with him. He said, ‘Bring them to me.’ So I brought then while they were shuddering with fear. He said: ‘What prevented you from praying with us?” They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah!’ We prayed at our camp.’ So he said: ‘Do not do that; when you pray in your camp then you come to a Masjid with a congregation, then pray with them. That will be a voluntary prayer for you.'”
Allah’s Messenger performing Salat. When he was in an odd number of his Salat, he would not get up until he had sat completely.
Allah’s Messenger said: “When a man performs Salat, and there is nothing in front of him like the post of a saddle, or a camel saddle, then his Salat is severed by (passing of) a black dog, a woman, and a donkey.” It was said to Abu Dharr: “What is the problem with the black dog rather than the red or white one?” He said: “O my nephew! I asked Allah’s Messenger just as you have asked me. He said: ‘The black dog is a Shaitan (devil).'”
“Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah led us in Salat, and he continued after the two Rak’ah, so the people said: ‘Subhan Allah’ and he said: ‘Subhan Allah’ to them. When he finished his Salat he said the Taslim then performed two prostrations of As-Sahw while he was sitting. Then he narrated to them that Allah’s Messenger did the same with them as he had done.”
“I asked her about the voluntary Salat of Allah’s Messenger (S), she said: ‘He would pray long into the night standing, and long into the night sitting. So when he recited and he was standing, he would bow and prostrate whole he was standing, and when he recited while he was sitting, he bowed and prostrated while he was sitting.'”
“The Prophet (S) performed two prostrations for As-Sahw after talking.”
“I prayed behind Allah’s Messenger (S). I sneezed and said: Al-Hamdulillah, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih, mubarakan alaihi kama yuhibbu Rabbana Wa Yarda (All praise is due to Alah, many good blessed praises, blessings for Him as our Lord loves and is pleased with.) When Allah’s Messenger (S) prayed and turned (after finishing) he said: ‘Who was the speaker during the Salat?’ No one spoke. Then he said it a second time: ‘Who was the speaker during the Salat?’ But no one spoke. Then he said it a third time: ‘Who was the speaker during the Salat?'” So Rifa’ah bin Rafi bin Afra said: “It was I, O Messenger of Allah (S).” He said: “What did you say?” He said: “I said: ‘Al-Hamdulillah, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih, mubarakan alaihi kama yuhibbu Rabbana Wa Yarda. The Prophet (S) said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! I saw thirty-some angels competing over which of then would ascend with it.”
“I heard Umarah bin Rawaibah Ath-Thaqafi – while Bishr bin Marwan was delivering Khutbah and raising his hands in supplication – so Umarah said: ‘May Allah disgrace these two insignificant hands, I have seen Allah’s Messenger, and he would not do any more than this;'” and Hushaim (one of the narrators) motioned with his index finger.

(Another chain) from Abu Hamzah, with this chain of narration, and it is similar.
From his father, from his grandfather, that he went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to the Musalla, and he saw the people doing business so he said: ‘O people of trade!’ and they replied to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turning their necks and their gazes towards him, and he said: Indeed the merchants will be resurrected on the Day of judgement with the wicked, except the one who has Taqwa of Allah, who behaves charitably and is truthful.'” This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. And they also say Isma’il bin ‘Ubaidullah bin Rifa’ah.
That he heard Tawus narrating from Ibn ‘Umar and Ibn ‘Abbas, and they both narrated this Hadith from the Prophet (ﷺ). (A Hadith similar to no. 1298). The Hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas (ra), is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This Hadith is acted upon according to soe of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ). They said whoever gives a gift to a closely related relative, then he is not to take back his gift. And whoever gives a gift to someone other then a close relative, then he may take it back as long as it has not been reciprocated. This is the view of Ath-Thawri. Ash-Shafi’i said: “It is not lawful for any that has given a gift to take it back except for what the father gave to his son.” Ash-Shafi’i argued with the Hadith of ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar from the Prophet (ﷺ): “It is not lawful for anyone that has given a gift to take it back, except for a father who give something to his son.”

So one of them stood before him and said: “I ask you by Allah, O Messenger of Allah! Only that you would judge between us by the book of Allah.” So his disputant said – and he was more eloquent that him: “I agree of O Messenger of Allah! Judge between us by the Book of Allah, and allow me to speak. My son was a servant for this man and he committed adultery with his wife. So they told me that my son was to be stoned. I paid him one hundred female sheep and a female slave. Then I met some people from the people of knowledge and they said that my son was to be lashed one hundred times, and to be banished for a year and that stoning is only for this man’s wife.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! I will judge between you two by the Book of Allah. The one hundred female sheep and the female slave should be returned to you. For your son is one hundred lashes and banishment for a year. O Unais! Go to this Man’s wife, and if she confesses then stone her.” He went to her and she confessed, so he stoned her.

regarding Allah’s saying: “It may be that your Lord will raise you to a praised station (17:79)” that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about it and he said: “It is the intercession.”
“I said to Ibn ‘Abbas: ‘Nawf Al-Bikali claims that Musa, of Banu Isra’il is not the companion of Al-Khidr. He said: ‘The enemy of Allah has lied. I heard Ubayy bin Ka’b saying: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say ‘Musa stood to deliver a Khutbah to the children of Isra’il. He was asked: “Who is the most knowledgeable among the people?” He said: “I am the most knowledgeable.” So Allah admonished him, since he did not refer the knowledge back to Him. Allah revealed to him: “A slave, among My slaves at the junction of the two seas, is more knowledgeable than you.” So Musa said: “O Lord! How can I meet him?” He said to him: “Carry a fish in a basket, wherever you lose the fish, then he is there.” So he set off, and his boy set off with him – and he was Yusha’ bin Nun. Musa put a fish in a basket, he and the boy set off walking, until when they reached a rock, Musa and his boy fell asleep. The fish was flopping around in the basket, falling into the sea.’ He said: ‘Allah held back the flow of water until it was like a tunnel, and the fish could glide. Musa and his boy were amazed. They set off the remainder of the day and the night, and Musa’s companion forgot to inform him (of the escape of the fish). When Musa arose in the morning, he said to his boy: Bring us our morning meal; truly we have suffered much fatigue in this, our journey (18:62).’ He said: ‘He had not gotten tired until he passed the place which Allah had ordered him to go. He said: Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock? I indeed forgot the fish, none but Shaitan made me forget to remember it. It took its course into the sea in a strange way (18:63). Musa said: That is what we have been seeking. So they went back, retracing their tracks (18:64). He said: ‘So they began retracing their tracks.'” Sufyan (one of the narrators) said: “People claim that there is a spring of life at that rock, no dying person has its water poured over him, but he becomes alive, and the fish came in contact with some of it, so when the water dropped on it he became alive.” “He said: ‘They retraced their tracks until they arrived at the rock to see a man covered in a garment. Musa greeted him, and he replied: Is there such a greeting in your land? He said: I am Musa. He said: Musa of the children of Isra’il? He said: Yes. He said: O Musa! Indeed you have some knowledge from Allah, which Allah taught you, which I have not been taught, and I have some knowledge from Allah, which Allah taught me, which you have not been taught.’ So Musa said: May I follow you so that you may teach me something of the knowledge which you have been taught? (18:66) He said: Verily, you will not be able to have patience with me! And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not? He said: If Allah wills, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you at all (18:67-69). Al-Khadir said to him: Then if you follow me, ask me not about anything until I myself mention it to you (18:70). Musa said: Yes. So Musa and Al-Khadir set off walking along the shore of the sea. A boat was passing by them, and they spoke to them (the crew) asking them to let them get on board. They recognized Al-Khadir so they let the two of them ride without charge. Al-Khadir took one of the planks (in the boat) and removed it, so Musa said to him: These people gave us a ride free of charge, yet you sabotaged their boat so that its people will drown. Indeed you have done a dreadful thing (18:71). He said: Did I not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me? (18:72). He said call me not to account for what I forgot, and be not hard upon me for my affair (18:73). Then they exited the boat, and while they were walking upon the shore, they saw a boy playing with two other boys. So Al-Khadir took him by his head, pulling it off with his hands, and he killed him. So Musa said to him: Have you killed an innocent person who killed no one! Verily you have done a horrendous thing (18:74). He said: Did I not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me? (18:75) – he (the narrator) said: – “This was more severe than the first one” – He said: If I ask you about anything after this, you have received an excuse from me. So they both proceeded until they came to the inhabitants of a town. They asked them for food but they refused to entertain them. There they found a wall on the verge of falling down (18:76 & 77). He (the narrator) said: – meaning leaning over – ‘So Al-Khadir took his hand like this, so he set it up straight (18:77) so Musa said to him: We arrived at these people, they did not treat us as guests nor feed us. If you wished, surely you could have taken wages for it! He said: “This is the parting between you and I. I will tell you the interpretation of (those) things over which you were not able to be patient (18:77 & 78).'” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘May Allah have mercy upon Musa! We wish that he would have had patience, so that we could have more knowledge about that two of them.’ He said: ‘So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The first time Musa had forgotten.’ He said: ‘And a sparrow came, until it perched on the edge of a boat, and pecked at the sea. So Al-Khadir said to him: My knowledge and your knowledge do not diminish anything from the knowledge of Allah, but like what this sparrow diminishes of the sea.’ Sa’eed bin Jubair said: “and he would” – meaning Ibn ‘Abbas – “recite: ‘And there was before them a king who would take every useful boat by force (18:79).’ And he would recite: ‘As for the boy, he was a disbeliever (18:80).'”
that Ubayy bin Ka’b narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The boy that Al-Khidr killed was destined to be a disbeliever the day he was created.'”
