Sunan al-Nasa'i — The Book of Forgetfulness (In Prayer)

“They were commanded to say the tasbih thirty-three times following the prayer, and to say the tahmid thirty-three times, and to say the takbir thirty-four times, then a man from among the Ansar was told in a dream: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) command you to say the tasbih thirty-three times following the prayer, and to say the tahmid thirty-three times, and to say the takbir thirty-four times?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ ‘Instead of that, say each one twenty-five times, and include the tahlil among them.’ The next morning he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him about that, and he said: ‘Do that.'”

The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Nafi’ through a different chain of narrators. This version says Ibn ‘Umar divorced a wife of his while she was menstruating pronouncing one divorce. He then narrated the rest of the tradition similar to the one narrated by Malik.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Sa’id al-Ru’aini with the same chain as narrated by Yahya (b. Sa’id) and to the same effect.

“The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between that are matters that are doubtful (not clear); many of the people do not know whether it is lawful or unlawful. So whoever leaves it to protect his religion and his honor, then he will be safe, and whoever falls into something from them, then he soon will have fallen into the unlawful. Just like if someone grazes (his animals) around a sanctuary, he would soon wind up in it. Indeed for every king is a sanctuary (pasture), and indeed Allah’s sanctuary is what He made unlawful.”

“The testimony of a Bedouin against a town-dweller is not permissible.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to examine the eyes and ears.”*
