Sunan al-Nasa'i — The Book of Fasting

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘The month is like this and like this and like this.” (One of the narrators) Muhammad bin ‘Ubaid clapped his hands three time to demonstrate it, then he withheld his left thumb the third time. Yahya bin Saeed said to Ismail (One of the narrators): “Form his father?’ He said: “No.”

The Prophet said: “What intoxicates in large amounts, a small amount of it is unlawful.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) was brought some dates which contained worms. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect as the previous (No 3823).

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited riding (while sitting on) Miyathir.” There are narrations on this topic from ‘Ali and Mu’awiyah. The Hadith if Al-Bara’ is Hasan Sahih. Shu’bah reported similarly from Ash’ath bin Abi Ash-Sha’tha’ in the lengthy Hadith.

‘Seek refuge with Allah, for the evil eye is real.”

“I heard Anas Bin Malik say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to mix with us so much that he said to a little brother of mine: “O Abu `Umair, what happened to the Nughair (one of the narrators Waki` said that it means a bird that he used to play with).”

“We used to come across groups of Quraish who would be talking, but they would stop talking (when we approached). We mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah and he said: ‘What is the matter with people who talk, then when they see a man from my family they stop talking? By Allah, faith will not enter a person’s heart until he loves them for the sake of Allah and because of their closeness to me.'”
