The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in one of the two evening prayers, Zuhr or `Asr, and gave salutations after two rak`ahs and going towards a piece of wood which was placed to the direction of the Qibla in the mosque, leaned on it looking as if he were angry. Abu Bakr and `Umar were among the people and they were too afraid to speak to him and the people came out in haste (saying): The prayer has been shortened. But among them was a man called Dhul-Yadain who said: Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened or have you forgotten? The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) looked to the right and left and said: What was Dhul-Yadain saying? They said: He is right. You (the Holy Prophet) offered but two rak`ahs. He offered two (more) rak`ahs and gave salutation, then said takbir and prostrated and lifted (his head) and then said takbir and prostrated, then said takbir and lifted (his head). He (the narrator) says: It has been reported to me by `Imran b. Husain that he said: He (then) gave salutation.
One who was blameless (as a narrator) narrated to me for twenty years that Ibn ‘Umar (Allah be pleased with him) pronounced three divorces to his wife while she was in the state of menses. He was commanded to take her back. I neither blamed them (the narrators) nor recognised the hadith (to be perfectly genuine) until I met Abu Ghallab Yunus b. Jubair al-Bahili and he was very authentic, and he narrated to me that he had asked Ibn ‘Umar (Allah be pleased with there) and he narrated it to him that he made one pronouncement of divorce to his wife as she was in the state of menses, but he was commanded to take her back. I said: Was it counted (as one pronouncement)? He said: Why not, was I helpless or foolish?
Anas b. Malik was asked whether Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) dyed his hair. He said: He had not become old enough to have white hair. Ibn Idris said that he had a few white hair. Abu Bakr and Umar, however, dyed hair with hina’ (henna).
I asked Anas b. Malik whether Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) dyed his hair. He said: He had not reached the stage when (he needed) dyeing (of his white hair). He had a few white hair in his beard. I said to him: Did Abu Bakr dye his hair? He said: Yes, with hina’ (henna).
“None of you should urinate into still water and then perform Wudu’ with it.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘None of you should urinate in still water and perform Ghusl with it.'” Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: “ya’qub would not narrate this Hadith except for a Dinar.” Ya’qub bin Ibrahim Ad-Dawrqi, and the meaning is that he held the view that it is permissible to accept a payment for narrating, contrary to many others.
“We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey, and he tapped me on the back with a stick he had with him, then he turned off (route) and I turned off with him until he came to such and such an area. Then he made his camel stop and went away until he disappeared from me, then he came back and said: ‘Do you have water with you?’ I had a water skin with me, so I brought it out and poured it for him. He washed his hands and face and began to wash his arms, but he was wearing a Syrian Jubbah that had narrow sleeves, so he brought his arms out from beneath the Jubbah and washed his hands and arms, and wiped his forelock a little and his turban a little.” – Ibn ‘Awn said: “I cannot remember it well – then he wiped over his Khuffs.” Then he said: ‘What do you need?’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I do not need anything.’ Then we came and ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf was leading the people in Salah, and he had led them in one Rak’ah of the Subh (Fajr) prayer. I wanted to tell him that the Prophet (ﷺ) had arrived but he did not let me, so we prayed what we had caught up with and made up what we had missed.'” It is a type of cloak.
“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).”
“When (a man) sits between the four parts of his wife’s body and exerts himself, then Ghusl becomes obligatory.” Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: “This is a mistake what is correct is; ‘Ash’ath from Al-Hasan, from Abu Hurairah.’ An-Nadr bin Shumail, and others, reported the Hadith from Shu’bah just as Khalid reported it.”
“If a dog licks the vessel of any one of you, let him wash it seven times, the first time with dust.”
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade urinating into standing water then performing Ghusl with it.
X”I heard Abu Uthman narrate that Ibn Mas’ud said: ‘The Prophet (ﷺ) saw me when I had placed my left hand on my right in prayer. He took hold of my right hand and placed it on my left.'”
“We prostrated with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during: When the heaven is split asunder and Read! In the Name of your Lord.”
(Another chain) from Abu Hurairah, with similar.
He prayed with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one night and he heard him say when he said the takbir: “Allahu Akbara dhal-jabaruti wal-malakuti wal-kibriya’i wal-‘azamah (Allah is Most Great, the One Who has all power, sovereignty, magnificence and might.)” When bowing he would say: “Subhana Rabbial-‘Azim (Glory be to my Lord Almighty).” When he raised his head from bowing he would say: “Lirabbil-hamd, Lirabbil-hamd (To my Lord be praise, to my Lord be praise).” And when he prostrated (he said): “Subhana Rabbial-A’la (Glory be to my Lord Most High).” And between the two prostrations (he said): “Rabbighfirli, Rabbighfirli (Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me).” His standing, his bowing, when he raised his head from bowing, his prostration and the time between the two prostrations, were almost the same.
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed (saying the) Qunut after bowing for a month, supplicating against Ri’l, Dhakwan and ‘Usayyah who had disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.” (Sahih).
They heard Abu Hurairah say: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The Tasbih is for men and clapping is for women.'”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in praying two rak’ahs, then he stood up and did not sit, and the people stood up with him. When he finished the prayer, and we were waiting for him to say the taslim, he said the takbir and prostrated twice while sitting, before the taslim. Then he said the taslim.”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up during the prayer when he should have sat, so he prostrated twice while sitting, before the taslim.
‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not prostrate that day either before the salam or after.”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prostrated twice after the salam on the day of Dhul-Yadain.
A similar report was narrated from Abu Hurairah from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard a man supplicating during the prayer without glorifying Allah (SWT) nor sending salah upon the Prophet (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘You are in a hurry, O worshipper.’ Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught them. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard a man praying; he glorified and praised Allah (SWT) and sent salah upon the Prophet (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Supplicate, you will be answered; ask, you will be given.'”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘There are two qualities which no Muslim person attains but he will enter Paradise, and they are easy, but those who do them are few.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The five daily prayers: After each prayer one of you glorifies Allah (SWT) ten times and praises Him ten times and magnifies him ten times, which makes one hundred and fifty on the tongue and one thousand five hundred in the balance.’ And I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) counting them on his hands. ‘And when one of you retires to his bed he says the tasbih thirty-three times and the tahmid thirty-three times and the takbir thirty-four times, that is one hundred on the tongue and one thousand in the balance.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “So which of you does two thousand five hundred bad deeds in a day and a night?” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), how can a person not persist in doing that?” He said: “The Shaitan comes to one of you when he is praying and says: ‘Remember such and such, remember such and such,” or he comes to him when he is in bed and makes him fall asleep.”
“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.”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “On Friday, there is an hour when, if a Muslim slave asks Allah for something at that time, He will give it to him.”
“I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivering the Khutbah standing up, then he sat down for a while and did not speak, then he stood up and delivered another Khutbah. Whoever tells you that the Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a Khutbah sitting do not believe him.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) came in to her and there was a woman with her. He said: “Who is this?” She said: “So-and-so, and she does not sleep.” And she told him about how she prayed a great deal. He said: “Stop praising her. You should do what you can, for by Allah (SWT), Allah never gets tired (of giving reward) until you get tired. And the most beloved of religious actions to Him is that in which a person persists.”
“O my father, how close he is now to his Lord! O my father, we announce the news (of his death) to Jibril! O my father, Jannat Al-Firdawas is now his abode!”
‘Amr bin Shu’aib wrote to ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Husain to offer condolences for a son of his who had died. In his letter he mentioned that he had heard his father narrate, that his grandfather, ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-As said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Allah does not approve for His believing slave, if He takes away his loved one from among the people of the Earth, and he bears that with patience and seeks reward, and says that which he is commanded any reward less than Paradise.”‘
“There are no two Muslims, three of whose children die before reaching puberty, but Allah will admit them to Paradise by virtue of His mercy toward them. It will be said to them: ‘Enter Paradise.’ They will say: ‘Not until our parents enter.’ So it will be said: ‘Enter Paradise, you and your parents.”‘
“The Messenger of Allah entered upon us when his daughter died, and said: ‘Wash her three times or five, or more if you think (that is needed), with water and lote leaves, and put some camphor in it the last time, and when you have finished call me.’ When we finished we called him and he gave us his waist-wrap, and said: ‘Shroud her in it.”‘
the Messenger of Allah said concerning the washing of his daughter: “Start on the right and the parts that were washed in wudu.”‘
“Three times or five, or seven, or more than that, if you think that (is necessary).”
“A daughter of the Messenger of Allah died and he told us to wash her. He said: ‘Three times, or five or seven, or more than that, if you think that (is necessary).’ I said: ‘An odd number?’ He said: ‘Yes, and put camphor, or some camphor, in (the water) the last time. And when you have finished, inform me.’ So when you have finished, we informed him, and then gave us his waist-wrap and said: ‘Shroud her in it.”
That they were sitting with the Messenger of Allah when a funeral appeared. The Messenger of Allah stood up, and those who were with him stood up, until it had passed by.
the Messenger of Allah said: “Your brother An-Najashi has died, so get up and offer the funeral prayer for him.” He stood up and put us in rows as is done for the funeral prayer, and we prayed for him.
“There is no deceased person for whom a group of Muslims whose number reaches one hundred, offers the funeral prayer, interceding for him; but their intercession for him will be accepted.” (One of the narrators) Sallam said: “I narrated it to Shu’aib bin Al-Habhab and he said: ‘Anas bin Malik narrated it to me from the Prophet.'”
“One of us (women) would miss some fasts in Ramadan and she would not be able to make it up until Shaban began, and the Messenger of Allah did not fast in any month as he fasted in Shaban; he used to fast all of it, except a little, he used to fast all of it.” ‘
“The Messenger of Allah came out with a stick in his hand, and a man had hung up a bunch of dry and bad dates. He started hitting that bunch of dates and said: ‘I wish that the one who gave this Sadaqah had given something better than this, for the one who gave these dry, bad dates will eat dry, bad dates on the Day of Resurrection.”‘
“The Messenger of Allah enjoined Zakatul-Fitr, a Sa’ of dates or a Sa of barley, upon the free person and the slave, male and female, young and old, among the Muslims. He commanded that it be given before the people went out to the (‘fd) prayer.”
“The Messenger of Allah commanded the wife of Abu Hudhaifah to breast-feed Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah, so that the protective jealousy of Abu Hudhaifah would be dispelled.

It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allah manumitted Safiyyah and made her freedom her dowry.
“The Sunnah divorce is a divorce issued when she is pure (not menstruating) without having had intercourse with her. If she menstruates and becomes pure again, give her another divorce, and if she menstruates and becomes pure again, give her another divorce, then after that, she should wait for another menstrual cycle.” (One of the narrators) Al-A’mash said: “I asked Ibrahim, and he said something similar.”
“She was married to Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas. The Messenger of Allah went out to pray As-Subh and he found Habibah bint Sahl at his door at the end of the night. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Who is this?’ She said: ‘I am Habibah bint Sahl, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘What is the matter?’ She said: ‘I cannot live with Thabit bin Qais’ -her husband. When Thabit bin Qais came, the Messenger of Allah said to him: ‘Here is Habibah bint Sahl and she has said what Allah willed she should say.’ Habibah said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, everything that he gave me is with me.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Take it from her.’ So he took it from her and she stayed with her family.”
“O Messenger of Allah, I do not find any fault with Thabit bin Qais regarding his attitude or religious commitment, but I hate Kufr after becoming Muslim.” The Messenger of Allah said: “Will you give him back his garden?” She said: “Yes.” The Messenger of Allah said: “Take back the garden and divorce her once.”
“Ibn ‘Abbas, Abu Hurairah and I were together, and Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘If a woman gives birth after her husband dies, her ‘Iddah is the longer of the two periods.'” Abu Salamah said: “We sent Kuraib to Umm Salamah to ask her about that. He came to us and told us from her that the husband of Subai’ah died and she gave birth a few days after her husband died, and the Messenger of Allah told her to get married.”
“Abu Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman narrated to me, that Jabir told him: ‘The Messenger of Allah ruled that whoever gives a lifelong gift to a man, it belongs to him and to his heirs. It belongs to the one to whom it was given, on the basis of ‘Umra. It will be inherited from its recipient according to Allah’s (injunctions on) inheritance and its rights.'”
“What is this?” It was said: “It was given in charity to Barirah.” He said: “It is charity for her and a gift for us.”

“The Messenger of Allah said on the Day of the Conquest (of Makkah): “There is no more emigration (Hijrah), rather there is Jihad and intention. When you are called to moblize (for Jihad) then do so.”‘
” I heard my paternal aunt say: ‘The Messenger of Allah said; “Whoever among you is appointed to a position of authority. If Allah wills good for him. He will give him a righteous minister who will remind him if he forgets and help him if he remembers
“You will become keen for positions of authority, but that will become a regret and loss. What a good life they will live, but how hard it will be for them when they die.”
“There is no person who kills a small bird or anything larger for no just reason, but Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will ask him about it.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, what does just reason;’ mean?” Her said: “That you slaughter it and eat it, and do not cut off its head and throw it aside.”
“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Do not slaughter anything but a Musinnah, unless that is difficult, in which case you can slaughter a Jadh’ah sheep.”‘

When evening came I brought it to him, and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I knew that you were fasting today, so I prepared this Nabidh for you to break your fast.’ He said: ‘Bring it to me, O Abu Hurairah.’ I brought it to him, and it turned out to be something bubbling.

He asked Safwan, who was present, about what she had said. He replied: Messenger of Allah, as for her statement “he beats me when I pray”, she recites two surahs (during prayer) and I have prohibited her (to do so). He (the Prophet) said: If one surah is recited (during prayer), that is sufficient for the people. (Safwan continued:) As regards her saying “he makes me break my fast,” she dotes on fasting; I am a young man, I cannot restrain myself. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said on that day: A woman should not fast except with the permission of her husband. (Safwan said:) As for her statement that I do not pray until the sun rises, we are a people belonging to a class, and that (our profession of supplying water) is already known about us. We do not awake until the sun rises. He said: When you awake, offer your prayer.

By Allah, we did not know whether we should take off the clothes of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as we took off the clothes of our dead, or wash him while his clothes were on him. When they (the people) differed among themselves, Allah cast slumber over them until every one of them had put his chin on his chest. Then a speaker spoke from a side of the house, and they did not know who he was: Wash the Prophet (ﷺ) while his clothes are on him. So they stood round the Prophet (ﷺ) and washed him while he had his shirt on him. They poured water on his shirt, and rubbed him with his shirt and not with their hands. Aisha used to say: If I had known beforehand about my affair what I found out later, none would have washed him except his wives.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came in when his daughter died, and he said: Wash her with water and lotus leaves three or five times or more than that if you think fit, and put camphor, or some camphor in the last washing, then inform me when you finish.

Malik’s version has: that is, his lower garment (izar); and Musaddad did not say: He entered in.

(Wash her) seven times or more if you think fit.

Some of the Companions of Prophet (ﷺ) went on a journey. They encamped with a clan of the Arabs and sought hospitality from them, but they refused to provide them with any hospitality. The chief of the clan was stung by a scorpion or bitten by a snake. They gave him all sorts of treatment, but nothing gave him relied. One of them said: Would that you had gone to those people who encamped with you ; some of them might have something which could give you relief to your companion. (So they went and) one of them said: Our chief has been stung by a scorpion or bitten by a snake. We administered all sorts of medicine but nothing gave him relief. Has any of you anything, i.e. charm, which gives healing to our companion. One of those people said: I shall apply charm; we sought hospitality from you, but you refused to entertain us. I am not going to apply charm until you give me some wages. So they offered them a number of sheep. He then came to and recited Faithat-al-Kitab and spat until he was cured as if he were set free from a bond. Thereafter they made payment of the wages as agreed by them. They said: Apportion (the wages). The man who applied the charm said: Do not do until we come to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and consult him. So they came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) next morning and mentioned it to him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: From where did you learn that it was a charm ? You have done right. Give me a share along with you.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: None of you must buy in opposition to one another ; and do not go out to meet the merchandise, (but one must wait) till it is brought down to the market.

The deputation of ‘Abd al-Qais came to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: This is the tribe of Rabi’ah, and the infidels of Mudar are between us and you. We are able to come to you only in the sacred month. So give a decisive command which we may follow ourselves and to which we call those at home behind us. He (the Prophet) said: I command you to observe four things, and forbade you four things: Belief in Allah. the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and he expresses one by folding his hand. Musadad’s version has: Faith in Allah, and he explained to them: The testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, observance of prayer, payment of zakat, and your giving the filth of the booty.
