Sunan al-Nasa'i — The Book of Purification

“Shall I not tell you of the Wudu’ of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He performed Wudu’ by washing each part of the body once.”

“There is nothing for this chapter which is better than this hadith, even though it is Mursal. And Al-A’mash reported this Hadith from Habib bin Abi Thabit, from ‘Urwah, from ‘Aishah. Yahya Al-Qattan said: “This is the Hadith of Habib from ‘Urwah, from ‘Aishah. And the Hadith of Habib from ‘Urwah, from ‘Aishah: “She prays even if blood drips on the mat” is nothing.

It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at (meat from) a shoulder, then Bilal came to him and he went out to pray, and he did not touch water.

“I heard Najiyah bin Ka’b narrating from ‘Ali that he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘Abu Talib has died.’ He said: ‘Go and bury him.’ He said: ‘He died as an idolator.’ He said: ‘Go and bury him.’ (‘Ali said:) ‘When I had buried him I went back to him and he said to me: ‘Perform Ghusl.'”

“That is a vein, so when your period comes, do not pray, and when your period is over, purify yourself and pray in between one period and the next.” This is evidence that Al-Aqra’ is menstruation. Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: Hisham bin ‘Urwah reported this Hadith from ‘Urwah, and he did not mention what Al-Mundhir mentioned in it.

“Menstrual blood is blood that is black and recognizable, so if it is like that, then stop praying, and if it is otherwise, then perform Wudu’ and pray.” Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: Others reported this Hadith, and none of them mentioned what Ibn Abi ‘Adi mentioned. And Allah Most High, knows best.

“Fatimah bint Abi Hubaish suffered from Istihadah and she asked the Prophet (ﷺ): ‘O Messenger of Allah, I suffer from Istihadah and I do not become pure; should I stop praying?’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘That is a vein and is not menstruation. When your period comes, stop praying, and when it goes wash the traces of blood from yourself and perform Wudu’. That is a vein and is not menstruation.'” It was said to him: “What about Ghusl?’ He (ﷺ) said: “no one doubts that.” Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: “I do not know anyone who mentioned ‘and perform Wudu’ in this Hadith except Hammad bin Zaid, for some others have reported it from Hisham, and they did not mention ‘and perform Wudu’ in it.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Give me the mat from the Masjid.'” She said: “I am menstruating.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Your menstruation is not in you hand.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would tell one of us, if she was menstruating, to tie her Izar (waist wrap) tightly then he would fondle her.”

“I heard Umm Qais bint Mihsan say that she asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about menstrual blood that gets on one’s clothes. He said: ‘Scratch it with a stick and wash it with water and lotus leaves.'”

“That is not menstruation, rather it is a vein. Tell her not to pray for the period of time that her period used to last, then let her perform Ghusl and pray.” She used to perform Ghusl for every prayer.

“If it is menstrual blood then it is blood that is black and recognizable, so stop prying, and if it is other than that then perform Wudu’, for it is just a vein.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and I would sleep under a single blanket when I was menstruating. If anything got on him from me, he would wash that spot and no more, and pray in it, then come back. If anything got on it again from me, he would do likewise and no more, and he would pray in it.”

“While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in the Masjid, he said: ‘O ‘Aishah, hand me the garment.’ She said: ‘I am not praying.’ He said: ‘It is not in your hand.’ So she gave it to him.”

“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ0 performed Ghusl from Janabah, he would wash his hands, then perform Wudu’ as for prayer, then run his fingers through his hair until he was sure the water had reached the scalp, then he would pour water over his head three times, then wash the rest of his body.”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) performed Ghusl from Janabah; he washed his private part then rubbed his hand on the ground or the wall, then he performed Wudu’ as for prayer, then he poured water over his head and the rest of his body.”

“O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed that will gain me admittance to Paradise.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the Salah, pay the Zakah and uphold the ties of kinship. Let go!” – as if he was riding his camel. As if he was riding his camel and the man had grabbed hold of its reins to ask this question.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Al-Madinah and prayed toward Bait Al-Maqdis for sixteen months, then he was commanded to face towards the Ka’bah. A man who had prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by some of the Ansar and said: ‘I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has been commanded to face towards the Ka’bah’ so they turned to face the Ka’bah.”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say on the Minbar: ‘Do not let the Bedouin make you change the name of your prayer; verily, it is ‘Isha’.'”

“Whoever catches up with a Rak’ah of the prayer, then he has caught up with the prayer.”

(Another chain) from Ibrahim, from Al-Aswad, with similar narration.

“We were fighting a battle and the idolators kept us from praying Zuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib and ‘Isha’. When the idolaters went away, the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) commanded a caller to say Iqamah for Zuhr prayer, and we prayed. Then he said the Iqamah for ‘Asr, and we prayed, and he said the Iqamah for Maghrib and we prayed, and he said the Iqamah for ‘Isha’ and we prayed. Then we went around among us and said: ‘There is no group on Earth who is remembering Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, except you.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When the wife of any one of you asks for permission to go to the Masjid, do not stop her.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has been delayed (there) and the time for prayer has come, will you lead the people in prayer?” Abu Bakr said: ‘Yes, if you wish.’ Bilal said the Iqamah and Abu Bakr went forward and said the Takbir for the people. Then the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) came, passing through the rows (of praying people) and stood in the (first) row and the people started clapping. Abu Bakr would never glance sideways in his prayer but when the people clapped so much he looked back and (ﷺ)Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) gestured to him to carry on praying. Aha Bakr raised his hands praising Allah the Mighty and Sublime, and retreated till he reached the (first) row. Then the Messenger ofAllah(ﷺ) went forward and led the people in the prayer. When he completed the prayer he turned to face the people and said: ‘0 people, why did you start clapping when something unusual happened to you in the prayer? Clapping is only for women. So whoever among you comes across something in the prayer should say: ‘Subhan Allah’ for there is none who will not turn round when they hear him saying Subhan Allah. 0 Abu Bakr! What prevented you from leading the people in the prayer when I gestured to you to do so?’ Abu Bakr replied: ‘It is not fitting for the son of Abu Quhafah to lead the prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).'”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘If any one of you feels the need to defecate, let him do that first, before he prays.”‘

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray two Rak’ahs before Zuhr and two afterward, and he used to pray two Rak’ahs after Maghrib in his house, and two Rak’ahs after ‘Isha’, and he did not pray after Jumu’ah until he departed (from the Masjid), then he would pray two Rak’ahs at home.”

He saw the Prophet (ﷺ), when he started to pray, raise his hands until his thumbs were almost level with his earlobes.

When the Prophet (ﷺ) started to pray he would say: “Subhanakallahumma, wa bihamdika tabarakasmuka wa ta’ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk (Glory and praise be to You, O Allah. Blessed be Your name and exalted be Your majesty, there is none worthy of worship except You.)”

“The Prophet (ﷺ) was given seven oft-recited; the seven long ones.”

“My father told us that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite Umm Al-Quran and two surahs in the first two rak’ahs of Zuhr and ‘Asr, and he would make us hear a verse sometimes, and he used to make the first rak’ah lengthy.”

“We were praying behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one day and when he raised his head from bowing he said: ‘Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him).’ A man behind him said: ‘Rabbana wa lakal-hamd, hamdan kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih. (O our Lord, and to You be praise, much blessed and pure praise.)’ When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had finished, he said: “Who is the one who spoke just now?” The man said: ‘I did, O Messenger of Allah.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘I saw thirty-some angels rushing to see which of them would write it down first.'”

“I shall explain to you the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).” He said: “Abu Hurairah used to say the Qunut in the last rak’ah of the Zuhr prayer, and the later Isha’ prayer, and the Subh, after saying ‘Sami Allahu liman hamidah.’ He would pray for the believers and curse the disbelievers.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say the takbir every time he went down and came up, and he would say the Salam to his right and his left. And Abu Bakr and ‘Umar used to do likewise.”

“I heard Yusuf-meaning Ibn Mahak- narrating that Hakim said: ‘I gave my pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), pledging that I would go down (in prostration) only after standing up from bowing.'”

He saw the Prophet (ﷺ) raise his hands when praying, when he bowed, when he raised his head from bowing, when he prostrated and when he raised his head from prostrating, until they were in level with the top part of his ears.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say when bowing and prostrating: ‘Subhanaka Allahumma, Rabbana wa bihamdik. Allahumma-ghfirli (Glory be to You O Allah, Our Lord, and praise. O Allah, forgive me,” following the command of the Quran.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us for one of the nighttime prayers, and he was carrying Hasan or Husain. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came forward and put him down, then he said the Takbir and started to pray. He prostrated during his prayer, and made the prostration lengthy.” My father said: “I raised my head and saw the child on the back of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he was prostrating so I went back to my prostration. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished praying, the people said: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), you prostrated during the prayer for so long that we thought that something had happened or that you were receiving a revelation.’ He said: ‘No such thing happened. But my son was riding on my back and I did not like to disturb him until he had enough.'”

His father said: “When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat in the second or fourth rak’ah, he would place his hands on his knees and point with his finger.”

“I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) leading the people in prayer, carrying Umamah bint Abi Al-‘As on his shoulder. When he bowed he put her down and when he finished prostrating he picked her up again.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When any one of you gets up and prays, the Shaitan comes to him an confuses him until he does not know how many (Rak’ahs) he prayed. If any one of you notices that, let him prostrate twice when he is sitting.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to teach us the tashahhud just as he used to teach us a surah from the Quran.”

“I used to see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying the taslim to his right and to his left until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen.”

“I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the Minbar, and Al-Hasan was with him. He would turn to the people sometimes and turn to him (Al-Hasan) sometimes, and he said: ‘This son of mine is a leader (Sayyid) and Allah may make peace between two large groups of Muslims through him.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The sun and moon are two signs of Allah(ﷺ), and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then pray until it (the eclipse) is over.'”

“The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got up to pray, and those who were with him also got up. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he raised his head and (then) prostrated for a long time. Then he raised his head and sat for a long time. Then he prostrated for a long time, then he raised his head and stood up, and he did in the second rak’ah the same as he had done in the first, standing, bowing, prostrating and sitting. He started blowing and weeping at the end of his prostration in the second rak’ah, saying: ‘You did not tell me that You would do that while I was still among them; You d not tell me that You would do that while we are asking You for forgiveness.’ Then he raised his head and the eclipse ended. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood and addressed the people. He praised and glorified Allah then he said: “The sun and moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime. If you see either of them being eclipsed, then hasten to remember Allah (SWT), the Mighty and Sublime. By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, Paradise was brought so near to me that if I had stretched out my hand, I could have taken some of its fruits. And Hell was brought so near to me that I tried to ward it off for fear it may overwhelm you. I saw therein a woman from Himyar who was being punished because of a cat she tied up, not leaving it free to eat of the vermin of the earth, nor feeding it or giving it water, until it died. I saw it biting her when she came and biting her backside when she went. And I saw the owner of the Sabtiyatain, the brother of Banu As-Da’da, being pushed with a two-pronged stick in the Fire. And I saw the owner of the stick with a crooked end, who used to steal from the Hajj pilgrims with that crooked stick, leaning on his stick in Hell and saying: ‘I am the thief with the crooked stick.'”

“The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He stood and led the people in prayer. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood for a long time that was shorter than the first time, then he bowed for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he prostrated for a long time, then he sat up, then he prostrated for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he stood up and bowed twice again, doing the same again. Then he prostrated twice, doing the same again, until he had finished his prayer. Then he said: ‘The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT), and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then hasted to remember Allah (SWT) and pray.'”

The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a Khutbah when the sun eclipsed and he said: ‘Amma ba’d (to proceed).'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was camping between Dajnan and ‘Usfan, besieging the idolaters. The idolaters said: ‘These people have a prayer that is dearer to them than their sons and daughters. Plan it, then strike them with a single heavy blow.’ Jibril, peace be upon him, came and told the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to divide his companions into two groups, then lead one group in prayer while the others faced the enemy, on guard and with weapons at the ready. So he led them in praying one rak’ah, then they moved back and the others moved forward, and he led them in praying on rak’ah, so that each one of them had prayed one rak’ah with the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) had prayed two rak’ahs.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘May Allah (SWT) have mercy on a man who gets up at night and prays, then he wakes his wife and she prays, and if she refuses he sprinkles water in her face. And may Allah (SWT) have mercy on a woman who gets up at night and prays, then she wakes her husband and prays, and if he refuses she sprinkles water in his face.'”

“I said to ‘Aishah: ‘Which deed was most beloved to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ She said: ‘That which was done persistently.’ I said: ‘At what part of the night did he pray Qiyam?’ She said: ‘When he heard the rooster.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “O people of the Qur’an, pray witr, for Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, is Witr (One) and loves Al-Witr (the odd numbered).'”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray witr with nine and pray two rak’ahs sitting down.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in witr: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High;” and “Say: O you disbelievers!;’ and ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One.'”

That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in witr: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High;” and “Say: O you disbelievers!;’ and ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray eleven rak’ahs at night between finishing Isha’ prayer and Fajr, apart from the two rak’ahs of Fajr, and he would prostrate for as long as it takes one of you to recite fifty verses.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in witr: Glorify the Name of Your Lord, the Most High;’ and “Say: O you disbelievers!’; and ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One.” And after he had said the salam, he would say: Subhanal-Malikil-Quddus (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy) three times, raising his voice with it.”

“None of you should wish for death because of some harm that befalls him, rather he should say: ‘Allahumma ahini ma kanatil-hayatu khairanli wa tawaffani idha kanatil-wafatu khairanli (O Allah, keep me alive so alive so long as life is good for me, and cause me to die when death is good for me.)”‘

“The last time I saw the Messenger of Allah, he drew back the curtain when the people were in rows behind Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. Abu Bakr wanted to step back, but he gestured to them to stay as they were, and let the curtain drop. He died at the end of that day, and that was a Monday.”

“The Messenger of Allah said: Allah, the Most High, said: If My slave loves to meet Me, I love to meet him, and if he hates to meet Me, I hate to meet him.”‘

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘He is not one of us who strikes his cheeks, rends his garment, calls out the calls of the Jahiliyyah.”‘

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Your brother has died, so get up and pray for him.”‘

a man from Aslam came to the Prophet and confessed to committing Zina, and he turned away from him. He admitted it again, and he turned away from him. He admitted it again, and he turned away from him. Then when he had testified against himself four times, the Prophet said: “Are your crazy?” He said: “No.” He said: “Have you been marred?” he said: “Yes.” So the Prophet ordered that he be stoned. When the stones struck him, he ran away, but they caught up with him and stoned him and he died. Then the Prophet spoke well of him but he did not pray for him. (Shih)

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘The Messenger of Allah said: ‘The whole of the son of Adam will be consumed by the earth, except for the tailbone, from which he was created and from which he will be created anwe.”‘

the Prophet struck one hand with the other and said: “The month is like this and like this and like this,” retaining one finger the third time.

“The Messenger of Allah said: “The month is like this and like this and like this,”‘ meaning twenty-nine. Yahya bin Saeed and others narrated it from Ismail, from Muhammad bin Sad, from the Prophet.

“The Messenger of Allah said: The month may be twenty-nine days or it may be thirty. When you see it, then stop fasting, and it is obscured from you (too cloudy), then complete the count.”‘

“Raja bin Haiwah narrated that Abu Umamah said: ‘I came to the Messenger of Allah and said: Tel l me of something that I may take (learn) from you. He said: “Take to fasting, for there is nothing like it.”‘ ‘

“Abu Umamah Al-Bahili narrated to me: ‘I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me of something by which Allah will benefic me. He said: Take to fasting, for there is nothing like it.”‘

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘It is not righteousness to fast when traveling.”‘ (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: This is a mistake, and what is correct is the one that is before it. We do not know of anyone who followed up Ibn Kathir.

“It is not righteousness to fast when traveling.”

“I came to the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah said to me: ‘Stay and have a meal for breakfast, O Abu Umayyah.’ I said: I am fasting.’ He said: ‘Come and I will tell you about the traveler. Allah has waived meaning the fasting and half the prayer for him.”‘

“When this verse was revealed ‘And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a miskin (poor person) (for every day). Those among us who did not want to fast would pay the fidyah, until the verse after it was revealed and abrogated this.”

“someone who heard him told me that Ibn ‘Umar (said) that the Prophet said: ‘Whoever fasts every day of his life, then he has not fasted.”

“Abdullah bin ‘Amr said to me: My father got me married to a woman from a noble family, and he used to come to her and ask her about her husband. She said: What a wonderful man he is! He never comes to my bed. And he has never approached me since he married me. He mentioned that to the Prophet and he said: Bring him to me. So he brought him with him and (the Prophet) said: How do you fast? I said: “Every day.” He said: “Fast three days of every month.” I said: “I am able to do better than that.” He said: “Fast for two days, and break your fast for one day.” He said; “I am able to do better than that”. He said: “Observe the best of fasts, the fast of Dawud, peace be upon him: Fasting for one day and breaking the fast for one day.” ‘Ata said: “someone who heard him told me that Ibn ‘Umar (said) that the Prophet said: ‘Whoever fasts every day of his life, then he has not fasted.”

“A Bedouin came to the Prophet with a rabbit that he had grilled it and placed it in front of him. The Messenger of Allah refrained from eating, but he told the people to eat. The Bedouin also refrained, and the Prophet said to him: ‘What is keeping you from eating?’ He said: ‘I fast three days of the month.’ He said: ‘If you was to fast, fast the shining days.”‘

“I come to the Prophet while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka’bah. When he saw me coming he said: ‘They are the losers, by the Lord of the Ka’bah!’ I said: ‘what’s happening? Perhaps something has been revealed concerning me.’ I said: ‘Who are they, may my father said mother be ransomed for you?’ He said: “those who have a lot of wealth, except one who does like this, and like this, and like this,’ (motioning) in front of him, and to his right, and to his left. Then he said: ‘By the One in Whose hand is my soul, no man dies leaving camels, or cattle, or sheep on which he did not pay the Zakah, but they will come on the Day of Resurrection as big and fat as they ever were, trampling him with their hooves and goring him with their horns. Every time the last of them runs over him, the first of them will come back, until judgment is passed among the people.”‘

“This is the obligation of Sadaqah which the Messenger of Allah enjoined upon the Muslims, as Allah commanded the Messenger of Allah Whoever is asked for it in the manner explained (in the letter of Abu Bakar), let him give it, and whoever is asked for more than that, let him not give it. When there are less than twenty-five camels, for every five camels, one sheep (is to be given). If the number reaches twenty-five, then a Bint Makhad (a one-year-old she-camel) is due, up to thirty-five. If a Bint Makhad (a one-year-old male camel). If the number reaches thirty-six, then a Bint Labun (a two-year-old she-camel) is due, up to forty five. If the number reaches forty-six, then a Hiqqah (a three year old she-camel) that was bred by a stallion camel is due, up to sixty. If the number reaches sixty-one, then a Jadh’ah (a four-year-old she-camel) is due, up to seventy-five. If the number reaches seventy-six, then two Bint Labun are due, up to ninety. If the number reaches ninety-one, then two Hiqqahs that have been bred by stallion camels are due, up to one hundred and twenty. If there are more than one hundred and twenty, then for every forty a Bint Labun and for every fifty a Hiqqah. In the event that a person does not have a camel of the age specified according to the Sadaqah regulation, then if a person owes a Jadh’ah but he has a Hiqqah, then the Hiqqah should be accepted from him and he should give two sheep along with it if they are available, or twenty Dirhams. If a person owes a Hiqqah as Sadaqah but he only has a Jadh’ah, then it shold be accepted from him, and the Zakah collector should give him twenty Dirhams or two sheep. If a person owes a Hiqqah and does not have one but he has a Bint Labun, it should be accepted from him, and he should give two sheep along with it, if they are available, or twenty Dirhams. If a person owes a Bint Labun as Sadaqah but he only has a Hiqqah, it should be accepted from him, and the Zakah collector should give him twenty Dirhams or two sheep. If a person owes a Bint Labun as Sadaqah and he does not have a Bint Labun, but he has a Bint Makhad. It should be accepted from him, and he should give two sheep along with it, if they are available, or twenty Dirhams. If a person owes a Bint Makhad as Sadaqah but he only has a Bint Labun, a male, it shold be accepted from him and nothing else (need be given) with it. If a person has only four camels, then nothing is due on them, unless their owner wishes (to give something). With regard to the Sadaqah of grazing sheep, if there are forty then one sheep is due, up to one hundred and twenty. If there is one more than that, then two sheep are due, up to two hundred. If there is one more than that, then three sheep are due, up to three hundred. If there is one more than that, then for every hundred one sheep is due, and no decrepit or defecting sheep or male sheep should be taken as Sadaqah unless the Zakah collector wishes. Do not combine separate flocks or separate combined flocks for fear of Sadaqah, Each partner (who has a share in a combined flock) shold pay Sadaqah in proportion to his shares. If a man’s flock is one less than forty sheep, then nothing is due from them unless their owner wishes. With regard to silver, one-quarter of one-tenth, and if there are only one hundred and ninety, nothing is due unless the owner wishes.”

“A woman came to the Messenger of Allah with a daughter of hers, and on her daughter’s arm were two bangles” – a similar report, in Mursal form.

the Messenger of Allah enjoined Zakatul-Fitr at the end of Ramadan upon the people; a Sa’ of dates or a Sa’ of barley, upon everyone, free or slave, male or female, of the Muslims.

“When the Messenger of Allah commanded us to give in charity, Abu ‘Aqil give half a Sa’, and another man brought much more than that. The hypocrites said: ‘Allah has no need of the charity of the former, and the latter only did it to show off. Then the following was revealed: ‘Those who defame such of the believers who give charity voluntarily, and such who could not find to give charity except what is available to them.”‘

“The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those for whom you are responsible.”

“Respond to the one who asks even with a sheep’s foot.” According to the narration of Harun: “With a sheep’s burned foot.”

“There are three whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves, and three whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates. As for those whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves: A man who comes to some people and asks (to be given something) for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and not for the sake of their relationship, but they do not give him. So one man stayed behind and gave to him in secret, and no one knew of his giving except Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and the one to whom he gave it. People who travel all night until sleep becomes dearer to them than anything that may be equivalent to it, so they lay down their heads (and slept). Then a man among them got up and started praying to Me and beseeching Me, reciting MY Ayat. And a man who was on a campaign and met the enemy and they fled, but he went forward (pursuing them) until he was killed or Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, granted victory to him. And three whom Allah hates are the old man who commits Zina, the poor man who shows off, and the rich man who is unjust.”

“Do not be demanding when asking. If one of you asks me for anything and I give it reluctantly, there will be no blessing in it.”

a man asked the Prophet “The command of ) Hajj has come while my father is an old man and cannot sit firmly in his saddle; if I tie him (to the saddle) I fear that he will die. Can I perform Hajj on his behalf?” He said: “don’t you think that if your father owed a debt and you paid it off, that would be good enough?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “Then perform Hajj on behalf of your father. “

“The Messenger of Allah forbade perfuming oneself with saffron.

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) reciting the Talbiyah for them both.”

“Ali and ‘Uthman performed Hajj, and when we were partway there, ‘Uthman forbade Tamattu, ‘Ali said ‘When you see him setting out, set out with him (saying the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah)So ‘Ali and his companions recited the Talbiyah for ‘Umrah, and ‘Uthman did not forbid them. ‘Ali said: ‘Have I not been told that you did.’ Ali said to him: ‘Did you not hear that the Messenger of Allah did Tamattu? He said: ‘Of course

“I came to the Messenger of Allah when he was in Al-Batha’, and he said: ‘For what have you entered Ihram?’ I said: ‘I have entered Ihram for that for which the Proper had entered Ihram,’ He said: ‘Have you brought a hadi (sacrifical animal)?’ I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Then circumambulate the House and (perform Sa) between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, then exit Ihram, so I circumambulated the House and (performed Sa i) between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, then went to a woman of my people and she combed and washed my hair, I used to issue Fatwas to the people based on that, during the Khilafah of Abu Bakr and ‘Umar. Then one day during Hajj season a man came to me and said: ‘You do not know what the commander of the Believers has introduced concerning the rites. I said: O people, whoever heard our heard our Fatwa, let him not rush to follow it, for the commander of the Believers! Is coming to you, and you should follow him.

If it is erroneous, that is from me and from Satan. Allah and His Apostle are free from its responsibility. Some people from Ashja’ got up; among them were al-Jarrah and AbuSinan. They said: Ibn Mas’ud, we bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave a decision for us regarding Birwa’, daughter of Washiq, to the same effect as the decision you have given. Her husband was Hilal ibn Murrah al-Ashja’i. Thereupon Abdullah ibn Mas’ud was very pleased when his decision agreed with the decision of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

I married a virgin woman in her veil. When I entered upon her, I found her pregnant. (I mentioned this to the Prophet). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: She will get the dower, for you made her vagina lawful for you. The child will be your slave. When she has begotten (a child), flog her (according to the version of al-Hasan). The version of Ibn AbusSari has: You people, flog her, or said: inflict hard punishment on him. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Qatadah from Sa’d b. Yazid on the authority of Ibn al-Musayyab in a similar way. This tradition has been narrated by Yahya b. Abi Kathir from Yazid b. Nu’aim from Sa’id b. al-Musayyab, and ‘Ata al-Khurasani narrated it from Sa’id b. al-Musayyab ; they all narrated this tradition from the Prophet (ﷺ) omitting the link of the Companion (i.e. a mursal tradition). The version of Yahya b. Abi Kathir has: Basrah b. Aktham married a woman. The agreed version has: He made the child his servant.

Abu Hasan, a client of Banu Nawfal asked Ibn Abbas: A slave had a wife who was a slave-girl. He divorced her by two pronouncements. Afterwards both of them were freed. Is it permissible for him to ask her in marriage again? He said: Yes. This is a decision given by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

Abu Tamimah reported from a man of his tribe “The Prophet (ﷺ) heard a man say his wife “O my younger sister! So he prohibited him (addressing his wife in this manner) Abu Dawud said “This tradition has also been transmitted by ‘Abd Al Aziz bin Al Mukhtar from Khalid from Abu ‘Uthman from Abu Thamimah from the Prophet (ﷺ). This has also been narrated by Shu’bah from Khalid from a man on the authority of Abu Thamimah from the Prophet (ﷺ).

I can invoke the curse of Allah on anyone who wishes: The smaller surat an-Nisa (i.e. Surat at-Talaq) was revealed after the verse regarding the waiting period of four months and ten days had been revealed.

Ibn ‘Abbas said “The verse concerning the payment of ransom stands valid for pregnant and sucking woman.”

Abu Hurairah reported the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) as saying “ While a man was going on his way, he felt himself thirsty severely. He found a well and e went down in it. He drank water and came out. Suddenly he saw a dog panting and eating soil due to thirst. The man said (to himself) “This dog must have reached the same condition due to thirst as I had reached. So he went down into the well, filled his sock with water, held it with his mouth and came up. He supplied water to the dog. Allaah appreciated this and forgave him.” They asked “Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ), Is there any reward for us for these beasts? He replied, For every cool liver there is a reward.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said: Return to them (Hawazin) their women and their sons.

The Prophet (ﷺ) then approached a camel, and taking a hair from its hump said: O people, I get nothing of this booty, not even this (meanwhile raising his two fingers) but the fifth, and the fifth is returned to you, so hand over threads and needles. A man got up with a ball of hair in his hand and said: I took this to repair the cloth under a pack-saddle. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: You can have what belongs to me and to the Banu al-Muttalib. He said: If it produces the result that I now realise, I have no desire for it.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: A boy is in pledge for his Aqiqah. Sacrifice is made for him on the seventh day, his head is shaved and is smeared with blood. When Qatadah was asked about smearing with blood, how that should be done, he said: When you cut the head (i.e. throat) of the animal (meant for Aqiqah), you may take a few hair of it, place them on its veins, and then place them in the middle of the head of the infant, so that the blood flows on the hair (of the infant) like a threat. Then its head may be washed and shaved off. Abu Dawud said: In narrating the word “is smeared with blood” (yudamma) there is a misunderstanding on the part of Hammam. Abu Dawud said: Hammam has been opposed in narrating the words “is smeared with blood”. This is misunderstanding of Hammam. They narrated he word “he is given a name (yusamma) and Hammam narrated it “is smeared with blood” (yudamma). Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not followed.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whatever is cut off of an animal when it is alive is dead.

The Prophet (ﷺ) gave az-Zubayr the land as a fief up to the reach of his horse when he runs. He, therefore, made his horse run until it stopped. He then threw his flog. Thereupon he said: Give him (the land) up to the point where his flog has reached.

We buried a deceased person in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). When we had finished, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) returned and we also returned with him. When he approached his door, he stopped, and we saw a woman coming towards him. He (the narrator) said: I think he recognized her. When she went away, we came to know that she was Fatimah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to her: What brought you out of your house, Fatimah? She replied: I came to the people of this house, Messenger of Allah, and I showed pity and expressed my condolences to them for their deceased relation. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: You might have gone to the graveyard with them. She replied: I seek refuge in Allah! I heard you referring to what you mentioned. He said: If you had gone to the graveyard…He then mentioned severe words about it. I then asked Rabi’ah (a narrator of this tradition) about al-kuda (stony land). He replied: I think it means the graves.

Some guests visited us, and Abu Bakr was conversing with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) at night. He (Abu Bakr) said: I will not return to you until you are free from their entertainment and serving them food. So he brought them food, but they said: We shall not eat it until Abu Bakr comes (back). Abu Bakr then came and asked: What did your guest do? Are you free from their entertainment ? They said: No. I said: I brought them food, but they refused and said: We swear by Allah, we shall not take it until he comes. They said: He spoke the truth. He brought it to us, but we refused (to take it) until you come. He asked: What did prevent you ? He said: I swear by Allah, I shall not take food tonight. They said: And we also swear by Allah that we shall not take food until you take it. He said: I never saw an evil like the one tonight. He said: Bring your food near (you). He (‘Abd al-Rahman) said: Their food was then brought near them. He said: In the name of Allah, and he took the food, and they also took it. I then informed him that the dawn had broken. So he went to th Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him of what he and they had done. He said: You are the most obedient and most trustful of them.

A man came to Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, my sister has taken a vow to perform hajj on foot. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah gets no good from the affliction your sister imposed on herself, so let her perform hajj riding and make atonement for her oath.

That when the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed that the sister of ‘Uqbah b. ‘Amir had taken a vow to perform Hajj on foot, he said: Allah is not in need of her vow. So ask her to ride. Abu Dawud said: Sa’ib b. ‘Arubah has transmitted a similar tradition. Khalid has also transmitted a similar tradition on the authority of ‘Ikrimah from the Prophet (ﷺ).

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: No one withholds goods till their price rises but a sinner. I said to Sa’id (b. al-Musayyab): You withhold goods till their price rises.

Abu Dawud said: Al-Auza’i said: A muhtakir (one who hoards) is one who withholds supply of goods in the market.

A similar tradition has also been transmitted by al-Laith b. Sa’d from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah from Jabir.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: When my messengers come to you, give them thirty coats of mail, and thirty camels. I asked: Messenger of Allah, is it a loan with a guarantee of its return, or a loan to be paid back? He replied : It is a loan to be paid back.

We said: Messenger of Allah! We had a reader who was reciting to us and we were listening to the Book of Allah, the Exalted. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said: Praise be to Allah Who has put among my people those with whom I have been ordered to stay. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then sat among us so as to be like one of us, and when he had made a sign with his hand they sat in a circle with their faces turned towards him. The narrator said: I think that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not recognize any of them except me.

You will enter Paradise half a day before the rich, and that is five hundred years.

A man emancipated his share in a slave. The Prophet (ﷺ) allowed his (full) emancipation, and required him to pay the rest of his price.

Al-Arif ibn ad-Daylami said: We went to Wathilah ibn al-Asqa and said to him: Tell us a tradition which has not addition or omission.

Its people will be numerous and it will be one of the capital cities of immigrants (or one of the capital cities of Muslims, according to the version of Ibn Yahya who reported from Abu Ma’mar). At the end of time the descendants of Qantura’ will come with broad faces and small eyes and alight on the bank of the river.

He then mentioned the tradition of Makhlad b. Khalid in a way similar to the tradition of Jabir. The narrator said: Then Bishr b. al-Bara’ b. Ma’rur died. So he (the Prophet) sent for the Jewess and said: What did motivate you for your work you have done ? He (the narrator) then mentioned the rest of the tradition like the tradition of Jabir.

Some of them took much and some a little. I also saw a rope hanging from Heaven to Earth. I saw, Messenger of Allah, that you caught hold of it and ascended by it. Then another man caught hold of it and ascended it. Then another man caught hold of it and ascended it. Then another man caught hold of it, but it broke, and then it was joined and he ascended it. AbuBakr said: May my parents be sacrificed for you, if you allow, I shall interpret it. He said: Interpret it. He said: The piece of cloud is the cloud of Islam; the ghee and honey that were dropping from it are the Qur’an, which contains softness and sweetness. Those who received much or little of it are those who learn much or little of the Qur’an. The rope hanging from Heaven to Earth is the truth which you are following. You catch hold of it and then Allah will raise you to Him. Then another man will catch hold of it and ascend it, Then another man will catch hold of it and it will break. But it will be joined and he will ascend it. Tell me. Messenger of Allah, whether I am right or wrong. He said: You are partly right and partly wrong. He said: I adjure you by Allah, you should tell me where I am wrong. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not take an oath.

So Abdullah ibn Zam’ah went out and found that Umar was present among the people and AbuBakr was not there. I said: Umar, get up and lead the people in prayer. So he came forward and uttered “Allah is Most Great”. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard his voice, as Umar had a loud voice, he said: Where is AbuBakr? Allah does not allow that, and the Muslims too; Allah does not allow that, and the Muslims too. So he sent for AbuBakr. He came after Umar had led the people in that prayer. He then led the people in prayer.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Simak through a different chain of narrators to the same effect.

Aban was afflicted by some paralysis and when a man who heard the tradition began to look at him, he said to him: Why are you looking at me? I swear by Allah, I did not tell a lie about Uthman, nor did Uthman tell a lie about the Prophet (ﷺ), but that day when I was afflicted by it, I became angry and forgot to say them.

(it would be better) if you could take the cloak which your slave wore, and you combined that with, and it would be a pair of garments (hullah) and you would clothe him with another garment. He said: Abu Dharr said : I abused a man whose mother was a non-Arab and I reviled him for his mother. He complained against me to the apostle of allah (May peace be upon him). He said: Abu Dharr! You are a man who has a characteristic of pre-Islamic days. He said: they are your brethren; Allah has given you superiority over them; sell those who do not please you and do not punish Allah’s creatures.

he (Muhammad) said: “I heard him saying – while he was among ten of the Companions of the Prophet, one of whom was Abu Qatadah bin Ribi – ‘I am the most knowledgeable among you of the Salat of the Allah’s Messenger.’ They said: ‘You did not precede us in his companionship, nor were you in his company more than us.’ He said: ‘Even still.” They said: ‘Go ahead.’ So he said: ‘When Allah’s Messenger stood for Salat he would stand with his back straight and raise his hands until they were at the level of his shoulder. Then he would say: (Allahu Akbar) “Allah is Most Great” and bow. Then he would straighten (his back) so that he would not lower his head, nor raise it, and he placed his hands on his knees. Then he said: (Sami Allahu liman hamidah) “Allah listens to those who praise Him.” And he raised his hands and stood up straight until all of his bones completely returned to their places. Then he went down to the ground prostrating, then he said: (Allahu Akbar) “Allah is Most Great.” Then he held his upper arms away from his midsection, and opened his toes on his feet (facing the Qiblah), then he bend his left foot and sat on it then straightened up until all of his bones completely returned to their placed, then he went down to prostrate. Then he said: (Allahu Akbar) “Allah is Most Great,” then he bent his foot and sat and straightened up until all of his bones completely returned to their places. Then he got up. Then in the second Rak’ah he did the same as that, such that when he stood from the two prostrations, he sad the Takbir and raised his hands until they were at the level of his shoulders as he did when he opened the Salat. Then he did like that until it was the Rak’ah in which his Salat was to end, when he moved his left foot over and sat on his side (in the Mutawarrik postion). Then he said the Taslim.'”

the Messenger of Allah sent a man from Banu Makhzun to collect charity, so he said to Abu Rafi: “Accompany me so that perhaps you may have some of it.” So he said: “Not until I ask the Messenger of Allah.” So he went to the Prophet to ask him, and he said: “Charity is not lawful for us, and to be the Mawda of a people to be the same as them.”

the Prophet said: “When a woman gives in charity from her husband’s house, she will get the reward for it, and for her husband is the same as that, and for the trustee is the same as that. The reward of each them will not be decreased at all by the reward of the other, for him is what he earned, and for her is what she spent.”

“I buried my son Sinan and Abu Talhah Al-Khawlani was sitting on the rim of the grave. When I wanted to leave he took me by my hand and said: ‘Shall I not inform you of some good new O Abu Sinan!’ I said: ‘Of course.’ He said: ‘Ad-Dahhak bin Abdur-Rahman bin Arzab narrated to me, from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘When a child of the slave (of Allah) died, Allah says to the angels: “Have you taken the fruits of his work.” They reply: “Yes.” So He says: “What did My slave say?” They reply: “He praised you and mentioned that to You is the return.” So Allah says: “Build a house in Paradise for My slave, and name it ‘the house of praise.'”

From Hakim bin Hizam, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent Hakim bin Hizam with a Dinar to buy an animal for Udhiyyah (an animal for sacrifice) for him. He purchases an Udhiyyah which he sold and profited a Dinar from, so he purchased another in its place. And he returned to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with Udhiyyah and the Dinar, so he said: ‘The sheep is for sacrifice and Dinar is for charity.'” We do not know of the Hadith of Hakim bin Hizam except through this route, and Habib bin Abi Thabit did not hear from Hakim bin Hizam – in my view.

That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The earnings of the cupper is filth, the earnings of the fornicator (from harlotry) is filth, and the price of a dog is filth.” There are narrations on this topic from ‘Umar, ‘Ali, Ibn Mas’ud, Abu Masu’d, Jabir, Abu Hurairah, Ibn ‘Abbas, Ibn ‘Umar, and ‘Abdullah bin Ja’far. The Hadith is Rafi’ is a Hasan Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge, they disliked the price of a dog. This the view of Ash-Shafi’i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. Some of the people of knowledge permitted the price of the hunting dog.

That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever grants respite to an indigent or alleviates it for him, Allah will shade him on the Day of Judgement under His Throne, a Day in which there is no shade except His shade.” There are narrations on this topic from Abu Al-Yasar, Abu Qatadah, Hudhaifah, Abu Mas’ud, ‘Ubadah, and Jabir. The Hadith if Abu Hurairah is a Hasan Sahih Gharib Hadith from this route.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed the one who bribes and the one who takes a bribe for a judgement.”
