Sahih Muslim — The Book of Pilgrimage

What is your opinion about a matter which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did but you forbid it? Thereupon Uthman said: You leave us alone, whereupon he (‘Ali) said: I cannot leave you alone. When ‘Ali saw this, he put on Ihram for both of them together (both for Hajj and ‘Umra).

I heard Sa’d (b. Abi Waqqas) saying that the idea of ‘Uthman b. Maz’un for living in celibacy was rejected (by the Holy Prophet), and if he had been given permission they would have got themselves castrated.

Do not sell fresh fruits on the trees until their good condition becomes manifest, and do not sell fresh dates on the trees against dry dates. Salim said: Abdullah informed me on the authority of Zaid b. Thabit, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) having given concession afterwards in case of ariyya transactions by which dry dates can be exchanged with fresh dates, but he did not permit it in other cases.

My father was one of those who swore fealty to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) near the tree. When we passed that way next year intending to perform the Hajj, the place of the tree was hidden to us. If you could point out clearly, you would (certainly) be knowing better. It has also been narrated on the authority of Sa’id b. Musayyib who learnt from his father that they were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the year of the Tree (i. e. in the year of the fealty of God’s pleasure sworn under the tree at Hudaibiya), but next year they forgot the spot of the tree.

I heard ‘Abdullah b ‘Umar saying this near the pulpit while pointing towards the pulpit of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ): A group of the tribe of ‘Abd al-Qais came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him about (vessels) which might (be used for preparing Nabidh and) drinking in them. He (the Holy Prophet) forbade them (to use) gourd, hollow stump, vessel besmeared with pitch. I said to him: Abu Muhammad, (what about) varnished jar? and we think he had forgotten to mention the word ‘varnished jar”. Thereupon he said: I did not hear it from him on that day, i. e. from ‘Abdullah b. ‘Umar, and he hated that (i. e. preparation of Nabidh in gourd).

Mu’awiya came to Medina and he addressed us and he took out a bunch of hair and said: What do I see that one of you does but that what the Jews did? (I can well recall) that when this act (adding of artificial hair) reached Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), he named it as cheating.

Should I narrate to you the evil make-up. Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) forbade cheating. It was during that time that a person came with a staff and there was a cloth on its head, whereupon Mu, awiya said: Behold, that is cheating. Qatada said: This implies how women artificially increase their hair with the help of rags.

I concluded (from the manner of their sitting) the (order) of their graves. (The three) would be together (the graves of the Holy Prophet, Hadrat Abu Bakr and Hadrat Umar) and that of ‘Uthman would be separate (from them).

‘A’isha said: Whenever Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) intended to set out on a journey he cast lots amongst his wives and he took one with him in whose favour the lot was cast. It so happened that he cast lots amongst us while setting out on a battle and it was cast in my favour, so I set out along with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). This relates to the period when the revelation concerning the commands of veil had been made. I was carried in a haudaj and I was brought down where we had to stay. In short, when we set out for return journey from the expedition and our caravan was near Medina, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) commanded one night to march forward. I also got up when the command for the march was given and moved on until I went out of the encampments of the army and after relieving myself I came to my place. I touched my chest and found that my necklace which had been made of the stones of zafar had been broken. I retraced my steps and tried to search my necklace and this detained me there. The group of people who saddled my ride and placed my haudaj carrying me upon the camels marched on. They were under the impression that I was in it. The women in those days were light of weight and they did not wear much flesh, as they ate less food; so they did not perceive the weight of my haudaj as they placed it upon the camel as I was a young girl at that time. So they drove the camel and Eet out and I found my necklace after the army had marched. I came to my place and there was none to call and none to respond (the call). I waited at my place under the impression that when the people would riot find me they would come back. So I kept sitting at my place. I was overpowered by sleep and slept. Safwan b. Mu’attal Sulami Dhakwini, who had lagged behind the army because of taking rest came to my place walking in the latter part of the night and he saw the body of a person who was asleep. He came to me and recognised me as he had seen rue before it was enjoined to observe purda. I got ap by his voice as he recited Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un and I covered my head with my headdress. By Allah, he did not speak to me a word and I did not hear a word from him except Inna lillahi. He made his camel kneel down and I amounted the camel as he pressed tLe camel’s foreleg and he moved on leaning the camel by the nose string on which I was riding until we came to the army where it had encamped for rest because of extreme heat. Woe be upon those who harboured doubts about me and the most notorious among them was ‘Abdullah b. Ubayy, the great hypocrite. We came to Medina and I fell sick for a month. The people had been deliberating over the statements of those who had brought these calumnies against me. I was absolutely unaware of anything concerning that. This, however, caused doubt in my mind that I did not see Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him.) treating me with such kindness with which he treated me as I fell ill before this. The Prophet (ﷺ) would coome and greet me with Assalam-o-‘Alaikum and only ask me how I was. This caused doubt in my mind, but I was unaware of the evil. I wept outside despite my failing health and there went along with me Umm Mistah and she said the daughter of Abu Rhm b. Muttalib b. ‘Abd Manaf and his mother was the daughter of Sakhr b. ‘Amir, the sister of the mother of Abu Bakr Sidiq and his son was Mistah b. Uthatha b. ‘Abbad b. Muttalib. I and the daughter of Abu Rahm set towards the direction of my house. Something got into the head dress of Umm Mistah and she said: Woe be upon Mistah. And I said. Woe be upon what you say. Do you curse people who had participated in Badr? She said: Innocent woman, have you not heard what he said? I said: What did he say? She conveyed to me the statement of those who had brought false allegations against me. So my illness was aggravated. I went to my house and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to me and he greeted me and then said: How is that woman? I said: Do you permit me to go to the (house) of my parents? She (further) said: I had at that time made up my mind to confirm this news from them. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) permitted me. So I came to (the house of) my parents and said to my mother: Mother, do you know what the people are talking about? She said: My daughter, you should not worry. By Allah, if there is a handsome woman who is loved by her husband and he has co-wives also they talk many a thing about her. I said: Hallowed be Allah, what are the people talking about? I wept during the whole night until it was morning and I did not have a wink of sleep and I wept even in the morning. As the revelation was delayed (in regard to this matter), so Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) called ‘Ali ibn Abi ‘Talib and Usama b. Zaid in order to seek their advice in regard to the separation of his wife. Usama b. Zaid told Allah’s Messenger (may peace be apen him) about the innocence of his wives and what he knew about his love for them. He said: Allah’s Messenger, they are your wives and we know nothing else about them but goodness. And as for ‘Ali b. Abu Talib, he said: Allah has not put any unnecessary burden upon you (in regard to your wives). There are a number of women besides her and if you ask that maidservant (Barira) she will tell you the truth. So, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) called Bailra and said: Barira, did you see anything in ‘A’isha which can cause doubt about her? Barira said: By Him Who sent thee with the truth, I have seen nothing objectionable in her but only this much that she is a young girl and she goes to sleep while kneading the flour and the lamb eats that. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) mounted the pulpit and sought vindication against ‘Abdullah b. Ubayy b. Salul, and he further said: Who would exonerate me from imputations of that person who has troubled (me) in regard to my family? By Allah, I find nothing in my wife but goodness and the person whom the people have mentioned in this connection is, according to my knowledge, a thoroughly pious person, and he did never get into my house but along with me. Sa’d b. Mu’adh stood up and said: Allah’s Messenger, I defend your honour against him. If he belong to the tribe of Aus we would strike his neck and if he belongs to the tribe of our brother Khazraj and you order us we would comply with your order. Then Sa’d b. ‘Ubada stood up. He was chief of the Khazraj tribe. He was otherwise a pioas man but he had some what tribal partisanship in him and he said to Sa’d b. Mu’adh: By the everlasting existence of Allah. you are not stating the fact, you will not be able to kill him and you will not have the power to do so. Thereupon, Usaid b. Hudair stood up, and he was the first cousin of Sa’d b. Mu’adh and said to Sa’d b. ‘Ubada: By the everlasting existence of Allah, you are not stating the fact. We would kill him. You are a hypocrite and so you argue in defence of the hypocrites, and thus both the tribes Aus and Khazraj were flared up, until they were about to fall upon one another and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) kept standing upon the pulpit and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) tried to subside their anger until they became silent and thus there was silence. ‘A’isha further reported: I spent the whole day in weeping and even the night and could not have a wink of sleep even next night. My parents thought that this constant weeping of mine would break my heart. I wept and they sat beside me. In the meanwhile a woman of the Ansar came to see me. I permitted her to see me and she also began to weep. And we were in this very state that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came and he greeted me and then sat down. He had never sat with me since a month when this rumour was afloat, and there was no revelation (to clarity) my case. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) recited Tashahhud (there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostle) and then said: Coming to the point, ‘A’isha, this is what has reached me about you and if you are innocent, Allah would Himself vindicate your honour, and if accidentally there has been a lapse on your part seek forgiveness of Allah; He will pardon thee for when a servant makes a confession of his fault and turns (to Him) penitently, Allah also turns to him (mercifully) accepting his repentance. When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) talked, my tears dried up and not even a single drop of tear was perceived by me (rolling out of my eyes). I said to my father: You give a reply to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf. He said: By Allah, I do not know what I should say to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). I then said to my mother: Give a reply to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) on my behalf, but she said: By Allah, I do not know what I should say to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). I was a small girl at that time and I had not read much of the Qur’an (but I said): By Allah, I perceive that you have heard about this and it has settled down in your mind and you have taken it to be true, so if I say to you that I am quite innocent, and Allah knows that I am innocent, you would never believe me to be true, and if I confess to (the alleged) lapse before you, whereas Allah knows that I am completely innocent (and I have not committed this sin at all), in that case You will take me to be true and, by Allah, I, therefore, find no other alternative for me and for you except that what the father of Yousuf said:, (My course is) comely patience. And Allah it is Whose help is to be sought for in that (predicament) which ye describe” (xii 18). After this I turned my face to the other side and lay down on my bed. By Allah, I was fully aware of this fact that I was innocent but I did not expect that Allah would descend Wahy Matlu (Qur’anic Wahy) in my case as I did not think myself so much important that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, would speak in this matter in words to be recited. I only hoped that Allah would in vision give an indication of my innocence to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) during his sleep. And, by Allah, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had not moved an inch from where he had been sitting and none from the members of my family had gone that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, descended revelation upon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) there and then and he felt the burden which he used to feel at the time of receiving revelation. He began to perspire because of the burden of words of Allah as they descended upon him even during the winter season and there fell the drops of his sweat like silvery beads. When this state of receiving revelation was over, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiled and the first words which he spoke to me were that he said: ‘A’isha, there is glad tidings for you. Verily, Allah has vindicated your honour, and my mother who had been standing by me said: Get up (and thank him, i. e. the Holy Prophet). I said: By Allah, I shall not thank him and laud him but Allah Who has descended revelation vindicating my honour. She (‘A’isha) said: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed:” ‘Verily, those who spread the slander are a gang among you” (and) ten (subsequent) verses in regard to my innocence. She further said: Abu Bakr used to give to Mistah (some stipend) as a token of kinship with him and for his poverty and he (Abu Bakr) said: By Allah, now I would not spend anything for him. ‘A’isha said: It was upon this that Allah the Exalted and Glorious revealed this verse:” And let not those who possess dignity and ease among you swear to give to the near of the kin” up to” Yearn ye not that Allah may forgive you?” Hibban b. Musa’ said that ‘Abdullah b. Mubarak used to say: It is a verse contained in the Book which most (eminently) brightens the hope. Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I wish that Allah should pardon me. I shall never stop this stipend. So he continued to give him the stipend which he had withdrawn. ‘A’isha said that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked Zainab, daughter of Jahsh, the wife of Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ), about me what she knew or what she had seen in me, and she said: Allah’s Messenger, I shall not say anything without hearing (with my ears) and seeing with my eyes. By Allah, I find nothing in her but goodness. (And she stated this in spite of the fact) that she was the only lady who amongst the wives of Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) used to vie with me but Allah saved her in bringing false allegation against me because of her God-consciousness. Her sister Hamna bint Jahsh, however, opposed her and she was undone along with others.

I saw ‘Amr b. ‘Amir al-Khuzili dragging his intestines in fire and he was the first who devoted animals to deity.

“The Fitrah are five: Circumcision, removing the pubes, trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, and plucking the armpit hairs.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The Fitrah are five: Trimming the mustache, plucking the armpit hairs, clipping the nails, removing the pubes, and circumcision.'”

“The Fitrah are five: Circumcision, shaving the pubes, plucking the armpit hairs, clipping the nails and taking from the mustache.”

“A man who felt something during Salah complained to the Prophet (ﷺ). He said: ‘Do not stop praying unless you notice a smell or hear a sound.'”

“I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about a woman who has a wet dream and he said: ‘If she sees water, let her perform Ghusl.'”

“Ali bin Abi Talib sent Al-Miqdad to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to ask him about a man who notices Madhi. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Let him wash his penis then perform Wudu’.'”

“I heard Sa’eed bin Jubair say: ‘I saw ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar pray in Jam’; he made the Iqamah and prayed Maghrib, three Rak’ahs, then he prayed ‘Isha’, two Rak’ahs, then he said: ‘This is what I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) do in this place.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: This is ‘Jibril, peace be upon you, he came to teach you your religion. He prayed Subh when the dawn appeared, and he prayed Zuhr when the sun had (passed its zenith), and he prayed ‘Asr when he saw that the shadow of a thing was equal to its height, then he prayed Maghrib when the sub had set and it is permissible for the fasting person to eat. Then he prayed ‘Isha’ when the twilight had disappeared. Then he came to him the following day and prayed Subh when it had got a little lighter, then he prayed Zuhr when the shadow of a thing was equal to its height, then he prayed ‘Asr when the shadow of a thing was equal to twice its height, then he prayed Maghrib at the same time as before, then he prayed ‘Isha’ when a short period of the night had passed. Then he said: ‘The prayer is between the times when you prayed yesterday and the times when you prayed today.'”

“The sun rises and with it the horn of the Shaitan, then when it is fully risen, he goes away. Then when it approaches the meridian he comes near to it, and when it has passed the zenith he goes away. Then when it is close to setting, he comes near to it, then when it has set, he goes away.” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade praying at those times.

“Who will watch out for dawn for us, so that we do not sleep and miss the dawn prayer?” Bilal said: ‘I will.’ He turned to face the direction where the sun woke them up, then they got up. He said: ‘Perform Wudu’.’ Then Bilal called the Adhan and he prayed two Rak’ahs, and they prayed the two (Sunnah) Rak’ahs of Fajr, then they prayed Fajr.”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out at nightfall, then stopped to camp at the end of the night, and he did not wake up until the sun had risen or had partly risen. He did not pray until the sun had risen (fully), then he prayed, and that was the ‘middle prayer’ (Salat Al-Wusta).”

It was narrated from ‘Amr bin Shu’aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade sitting in circles on Friday before Jumu’ah prayer, and buying and selling in the Masjid.

“In my house there was a cloth on which there were images, which I covered a closet which is in the house, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray toward it. Then he said: ‘0 Aisha, take it away from me.’ So I removed it and made pillows out of it.”

837. It was narrated from Abu Bakr that the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the fear prayer (Salat Al-Khauf). He led those who were behind him in two Rak’ah and those who came (after them) in two Rak’ah, so the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed four Rak’ahs and each group prayed two.

“A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘I cannot learn anything of the Quran; teach me something that I can say instead of reciting the Quran.’ He said: ‘Say: SubhanAllah, wal-hamdulilah, wa la illaha ill-Allah, wa Allahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa Billahil-aliy al-azim (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is none worthy of worship except Allah, Allah is Most Great, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah the Exalted and Magnificent ).'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When the reciter says Amin, then say: “Amin” too, for the angels say Amin and if a person’s Amin coincides with the Amin of the angels, Allah will forgive his previous sins”

“Some of those who prayed the Subh prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) narrated to me that when he said: Sami’Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him)’ in the second rak’ah, he stood for a while.”

“I knocked at the door when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was offering a voluntary prayer. The door was in the direction of the Qiblah so he took a few steps to his right or left and opened the door, then he went back to where he was praying.”

“I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) delivering the Khutbah, wearing two green Burds.”

“I heard Mu’awiyah asking Zaid bin Arqam: ‘Did you attend two ‘Eids with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?’ He said: ‘Yes; he prayed ‘Eid at the beginning of the day then he granted a concession with regard to jumu’ah.'”

“The deceased is punished due to the weeping of his family for him.”

“I met Abu Dharr and said: ‘Tell me a Hadith.’ He said: the Messenger of Allah said: There are no two Muslims, three of whose children die before reaching puberty, but Allah will forgive them by virtue of His mercy towards them.”‘

“When ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Soul died, the Messenger of Allah was called upon to offer the funeral prayer for him. When the Messenger of Allah stood up (to offer the prayer), I got up quickly and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah Are you going to pray for Ibn Ubayy when he said such-and-such an occasion?’ And I stated to list all the things that he had said. The Messenger of Allah smiled and said: ‘Leave me alone, O ‘Umar.’ When I spoke too much he said: ‘I have been given the choice and I have chosen (to offer the prayer for him). If I knew that he could be forgiven by asking Allah’s forgiveness more than seventy times, I would have done so.’ The Messenger of Allah offered the funeral prayer for him, and then left. A short while later, the two Verses form surah Bara were revealed: ‘And never pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and died while they were rebellious.’ Later I was astonished by my audacity toward the Messenger of Allah on that day. And Allah and His Messenger know best.”

“The Messenger of Allah did not ofer gthe funeral prayer for shail bin Baida anywhere but in the Masjid.”

“The Sunnah, when offering the funeral prayer, is to recite Umm Al-Qur’an) the Exxence of the Qur’an) quietly in the first Takbir, Then to say three (more) Takbir and to say the Taslim after the last one.”

“We were with Fadalah bin ‘Ubaid in the land of the Romans, and a companion of ours died. Fadalah ordered that his grave be made level, then he said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah commanding that it be made level.”‘

“Aishah said: ‘Shall I not tell you about me and about the Prophet?’ We said: ‘Yes.’ She said: ‘When it was my night when he was with me’ – meaning the Prophet -‘He came back (from ‘Isha’ prayer), put his sandals by his feet and spread the edge of his Izar on his bed. He stayed until he thought that I had gone to sleep. Then he put his sandals on slowly, picked up his cloak slowly, then opened the door slowly and went out slowly. I covered my head, put on my vie and tightened my waist wrapper, then I followed his steps until he came to Al-Baqi’. He raised his hands three times, and stood there for a long time, then he left and I left. He hastened and I also hastened; he ran and I also ran. He came (to the house) and I also came, but I got there first and entered, and as I lay down he came in. He said: “Tell me, or the Subtle, the All-Aware will tell me.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be ransomed for you,’ and I told him (the whole story). He said: ‘So you were the black shape that I saw in front of me?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He gave me a nudge on the chest which I felt, then he said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Messenger would deal unjustly with you?’ I said: ‘Whatever the people conceal, Allah knows it.’ He said: Jibril came to me when I saw you, but he did not enter upon me because you where not fully dressed. He called me but he concealed that from you, and I answered him, but I concealed that from you too. I thought that you had gone to sleep and I did not want to wake you up, and I was afraid that you would be frightened. He told me to go to Al-Baqi’ and pray for forgiveness for them.’ I said: ‘What should I say, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘Say” Peace be upon the inhabitants of this place among the believers and Muslims. May Allah have mercy upon those who have gone on ahead of us and those who come later on, and we will join you, if Allah wills.”‘

“When An-Najashi died, the Prophet said: ‘Pray for forgiveness for him.”‘

Said that the Messenger of Allah announced the death of An-Najashi, the ruler of Ethiopia, to them on the day that he died, and said “Pray for forgiveness for your brother.”

A similar, Mursal, report was narrated from ‘Ikramah.

“The Messenger of Allah used to fast all of Shaban, and he made sure to fast on Mondays and Thursdays.” ‘

“The Prophet said: ‘Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, says: Fasting is for me I shall reward for it. The fasting person has two moments of joy: When he breaks his fast and when he meets his Lord. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell that comes from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk.” ‘

“(Allah says) fasting is for me and I shall reward for it. The fasting person rejoices twice: when he breaks his fast and the day when he meets his Lord. And the smell that come from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk.” ‘

“The Messenger of Allah: ‘There is no worshipper who fasts a day in the cause of Allah, but Allah, the most high, will separate (a distance of) seventy autumns between his face and the fire in return for that day.”‘

“Umar said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what about a person who fasted for an entire lifetime?’ He said: ‘He neither fasted nor broke his fast for one day?’ He said: ‘Can anyone do that?’ He said: ‘What about a person who fasted for one day?’ He said: ‘That is the fast of Dawud, peace be upon him.’ He said: ‘What about a person who fasted for one day, and broke his fast for two days?’ he said: ‘I wish that I could do that.’ Then he said: ‘Three days of each month, and from Ramadan to Ramadan, this is fasting for an entire lifetime.”‘ ‘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.”

“When a woman give charity from her husband’s house, she will have a reward, and her husband will have a similar reward, and the storekeeper will have a similar reward, without the reward of any of them detracting from the reward of the others in the slightest. The husband will be rewarded for what he earned and she will be rewarded for what she spent.”

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘It is not permissible to give charity to a rich man (or one who is independent of means) or to one who is strong and healthy.”‘

two men told him, that they came to the Messenger of Allah asking him for charity. He looked from one to the other and he saw that they were strong. The Messenger of Allah said: “If you want, I will give you, but no rich man or one who is strong and able to earn has a share of it.”

“If something was brought to him, the prophet would ask whether it was a gift or charity. If it was said that if was charity, he would not eat, and if it was said that it was a gift, he would stretch forth his hand.”

“The Messenger of Allah addressed the people and said: ‘Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has enjoined upon you Hajj.’ A man said: ‘Every year?’ He remained silent until he had repeated it three times. Then he said: ‘If I said yes, it would be obligatory, and if it were obligatory you would not be able to do it. Leave me alone so long as I have left you alone. Those who came before you were destroyed because they asked too many questions and differed with their prophets. If I command you to do something then follow it as much as you can, and if I forbid you to do something then avoid it.”‘

“`Imran bin Husain said to me: ‘We performed Tamattu` with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).'” Abu Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: There are three (named) Isma`il bin Muslim; this is one of them, and there is no harm in him. And Shaikh Isma`il bin Muslim who reports from Abu Tufail, there is no harm in him. And Isma`il bin Muslim who reports from Az-Zuhri and Al-Hasan, he is abandoned in Hadith.

That As-Sab bin Jaththamah gave the Prophet some onager (meat) when he was in Ihram and he returned it to him.

“Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah said that his father told him, that he went out with the Messenger of Allah on the campaign of Al-Hudaybiyah. He said: ‘They entered Ihram for ‘Umrah apart from me. I hunted an onager and fed my companions with it, when they were in Ihram. Then, I went to the Messenger of Allah and told him that we had some of it meat left over. HE said: Eat, and they were in Ihram.'”.

“O Commander! Permit me to tell you of a statement that the Messenger of Allah said the day after the Conquest of Makkah, which my ears heard, my hear understood, and my eyes saw, when he said it. He (the Prophet) praised Allah, then he said: ‘Makkah has been made sacred by Allah, not by the people. It is not permissible for any man who believes in Allah and the Last Day to shed blood in it, or to cut its trees. If any one seeks permission to fight in it because the Messenger of Allah fought in it, say to him: Allah allowed his Messenger (to fight therein) but He did not allow you. Rather permission was given to me (to fight therein) for a short period one day, and now its sanctity has been restored as it as before. Let those who are present convey (this mews) to those who are absent.'”

“The Messenger of Allah sadi: ‘An army will be sent toward this House, and when they are in Al-Baida, they first and the last of them will be swallowed up by the earth, and those in the middle will be saved.’ I said: “What if there are believers among them?” He said: ‘It will be graves for them.'” (Daif)

“I heard the Messenger of Allah say: ‘One prayer in this Masjid of mine is better than a thousand prayers in any other Masjid except Al-Masjid Al-Haram.'”

“I asked anas bin Malik: ‘Tell me of something that you learned from the Messenger of Allah; where did he pray Zuhr on the day of At-Tarwiyah?’ He said: ‘In Mina.’ I said: ‘Where did he pray Asr on the day of An-Nafr?’ He said: ‘In Al-Abtah.'”

Al-Fadl to him that he roed behind the Messenger of Allah and he continued to recited the Talbiyah until eh stoned the Jamrat.

“We heard that when the Messenger of Allah stoned the Jamrah he stoned it with seven pebbles, saying the Takbir every time he threw a pebble. Then he came in front of it ans stood facing the Qiblah, raising his hands and supplicating fro a long time. Then he came to the second Jamrah and stoned it stoned it with seven pebbles, saying the Takbir every time he threw a pebble. Then he moved to the left and stood facing the Qiblah, raising his hands and supplicating for a long time. Then he came to the Jamrat that is at al ‘Aqabah and stoned ti with seven pebbles, but he did not stand there.” Az-Zuhri said: “I heard Salim narrted this from his father, from the Prophetk and Ibn’Umar used to do that.”

“When (the pilgrim) has stoned hthe Jamrat, everything becomes permissible for him except (intimacy with) women,” It was said: “And perfume?” he said; “I saw the Messenger of Allah smelling strongly of musk – is it not a perfume?”

: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘I have been sent with concise speech and I have been supported with fear. While I was sleeping, the keys to the treasures of the Earth were brought to me and placed in my hands.’” Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah has gone and you are acquiring them.”

: “I heard the Messenger of Allah said: ‘I have been sent with concise speech, and I have been supported with fear. While I was sleeping, the keys to the treasures of the Earth were brought to me and placed in my hands.’ Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah has gone and you are acquiring them.”

“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) died and Abu Bakr (was appointed Khalifah) after him, and some of the ‘Arabs disbelieved, ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: ‘O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah.) Whoever says La ilaha illallah, his life and his property are safe from me, except for its right, and his reckoning will be with Allah?'” Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “I will surely fight those who separate prayer and Zakah, for Zakah is what is due on wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from me a small she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) I will fight them for withholding it.’ (‘Umar said) ‘By Allah, when I realized that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, had opened the chest of Abu Bakr to fighting, then I knew that it was the truth.'” The wording is that of Ahmad.

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Going out before noon or after noon, in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, is better than this world and everything in it.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The guests of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, are three: The warrior, the pilgrim performing Hajj, and the pilgrim performing ‘Umrah.'”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘The parable of Mujahid (who strives in the cause of Allah) – and Allah knows best who strives in teh cause of Allah – is that of one who fasts and prays Qiyam (continually). Allah has promised Mujahid (who strives in His cause), that He will either cause him to die and admit him to paradise, or, He will bring him back safely with whatever he had earned of reward or spoils of war.'”

“Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will admit three people into Paradise for one arrow: The one who makes it, intending it to be used for a good cause, the one who shoots it, and one who passes it to him.”

It was narrated that ‘Alqamah said: “I was with Ibn Mas’ud while he was with ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, and ‘Uthman said: ‘The Messenger of Allah came out to some fityah (young men)–Abu ‘AbdurRahman said, ‘I did not understand (the word) fityah as I would want’– and said: ‘Whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity, and whoever cannot, then fasting will be a restraint (wija’) for him.'”

It was narrated that Al-Mughirah bin Shu’bah said: “I proposed marriage to a woman during the time of the Messenger of Allah, and the Prophet said: ‘Have you seen her?’ I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Look at her, for that is more likely to create love between you.'”

“The wife of Rifa’ah Al-Qurazi came to the Messenger of Allah and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! I got married to ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Az-Zabir, and what he has is like this fringe.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Perhaps you want to go back to Rifa’ah? No, not until he (‘Abdur-Rahman) tastes your sweetness and you taste his sweetness.'”

“When the Prophet commanded the two who were engaging in Li’an to utter the fifth oath, he commanded a man to place his hand over his mouth, and he said: “It will inevitably bring the punishment upon the liar.””

“I heard Sa’eed bin Jubair say: ‘I was asked about the two who engage in Li’an during the governorship of Ibn Az-Zubair – should they be separated? I did not know what to say, so I got up and went to the house of Ibn ‘Umar and said: “O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman, should the two who engage in Li’an be separated?” He said: “Yes, Subhan Allah! The first one who asked about that was so-and-so the son of so-and-so who said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man among us sees his wife committing immoral actions, and if he speaks of it, he will be speaking of a grave matter, but if he keeps quiet, he will be keeping quiet about a grave matter?’ He did not answer him, then after that, he came to him and said: ‘I was tried with the matter that I asked you about, so Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed these Verses in Surat An-Nur.: ‘And for those who accuse their wives’ until he reached: ‘And the fifth (testimony) should be that the Wrath of Allah be upon her if he (her husband) speaks the truth.’ So he started with the man, exhorting him, reminding him, and telling him that the punishment in this world was less severe than the punishment in the Hereafter. He said: ‘By the One Who sent you with the truth, I am not lying.’ Then he turned to the woman and exhorted her and reminded her. She said: ‘By the One Who sent you with the truth, he is lying.’ So he started with the man, and he bore witness four times by Allah that he was telling the truth, and the fifth time (he invoked) the curse of Allah upon himself if he was lying. Then he turned to the woman and she bore witness four times by Allah that he was lying, and the fifth time (she invoked) the wrath of Allah upon herself if he was telling the truth. Then he separated them.”‘”

“Al-Mus’ab did not separate the two who engaged in Li’an.” Sa’eed said: “I mentioned that to Ibn ‘Umar and he said: ‘The Messenger of Allah separated the couple from Banu ‘Ajlan.'”

“Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Haram died, leaving behind debts. I asked the Messenger of Allah to intercede with his creditors so that they would waive part of the debt. He asked them to do that but they refused. The Prophet said to me: ‘Go and sort your dates into their different kinds: The ‘Ajwah on one side, the cluster of Ibn Zaid on another side, and so on. Then send for me.’ I did that, then the Messenger of Allah came and sat at the head or in the middle of the heaps. Then he said: ‘Measure them out for the people.’ So I measured them out for them until I had paid them all off, and my dates were left as if nothing had been taken from them.”

“My father owed some dates to a Jew. He was killed on the Day of Uhud and he left behind two gardens. The dates owed to the Jew would take up everything in the two gardens. The Prophet said: ‘Can you take half this year and half next year?’ But the Jew refused. The Prophet said: ‘When the time to pick the dates comes, call me.’ So I called him and he came, accompanied by Abu Bakr. The dates were picked and weighed from the lowest part of the palm trees, and the Messenger of Allah was praying for blessing, until we paid off everything that we owed him from the smaller of the two gardens, as calculated by ‘Ammar. Then I brought them some fresh dates and water and they ate and drank, then he said: ‘This is part of the blessing concerning which you will be questioned.'”

“My mother has died and she had a vow to fulfill. Will it suffice if I free a slave on her behalf?” He said: “Free a slave on behalf of your mother.”

“Fulfill it on her behalf.”

“My father took me to the Prophet to ask him to bear witness to something that he had given to me. He said: ‘Do you have any other children?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He gestured with his hand held horizontally like this, (saying): ‘Why don’t you treat them all equally?'”

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Treat your children fairly, treat your children fairly.'”

“We were with the Messenger of Allah when the delegation of Hawazin came to him and said: ‘O Muhammad! We are one of the ‘Arab tribes and a calamity has befallen us of which you are well aware. Do us a favor, may Allah bless you.’ He said: ‘Choose between your wealth or your women and children.’ They said: ‘You have given us a choice between our families and our wealth; we choose our women and children.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘As for that which was allocated to myself and to Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib, it is yours. When I have prayed Zuhr, stand up and say: “We seek the help of the Messenger of Allah in dealing with the believers, or the Muslims, with regard to our women and children.”‘ So when they prayed Zuhr, they stood up and said that. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘As for that which was allocated to myself and to Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib, it is yours.’ The Muhajirun said: ‘That which was allocated to us is for the Messenger of Allah.’ The Ansar said: ‘That which was allocated to us is for the Messenger of Allah.’ Al-Aqra’ bin Habis said: ‘As for myself and Banu Tamim, then no (we will not give it up).’ ‘Uyaynah bin Hisn said: ‘As for myself and Banu Fazarah, then no (we will not give it up).’ Al-‘Abbas bin Mirdas said: ‘As for myself and Banu Sulaim, then no (we will not give it up).’ Banu Sulaim stood up and said: ‘You lied; whatever was allocated to us, it is for the Messenger of Allah.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘O people, give their women and children back to them. Whoever gives back anything of these spoils of war, he will have six camels from the spoils of war that Allah grants us next.’ Then he mounted his riding-animal and the people surrounded him, saying: ‘Distribute our spoils of war among us.’ They made him go back toward a tree on which his Rida’ (upper-wrap) got caught. He said: ‘O people! Give me back my Rida’. By Allah! If there were cattle as many in number as the trees of Tihamah I would distribute them among you, then you would not find me a miser, a coward or a liar.’ Then he went to a camel and took a hair from its hump between two of his fingers and said: ‘Look! I do not have any of the spoils of war. All I have is the Khums, and the Khums will be given back to you.’ A man stood up holding a ball of yarn made from goat hair and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I took this to fix my camel-saddle.’ He said: ‘What was allocated to myself and to Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib is for you.’ He said: ‘Is this so important? I don’t need it!’ And he threw it down. He said: ‘O people! Give back even needles large and small, for Al-Ghulul will be (a source of) shame and disgrace for those who took it on the Day of Resurrection.'”

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘No one should take back his gift except a father (taking back a gift) from his son. The one who takes back his gift is like one who goes back to his vomit.'”

“Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or give it to his brother to cultivate, and not lease it to his brother.”

“Al-Mukhadarah means selling fruit before it ripens and Al-Mukhabarah means selling grapes in return for a certain number of Sa’s.”

“The Messenger of Allah forbade Al-Muhaqalah and Al-Muzabanah.”

“The Messenger of Allah forbade Al-Muhaqalah and Al-Muzabanah.”

“We used to lease land on the basis of Al-Muhaqalah during the time of the Messenger of Allah.” He said that one of his paternal uncles came to them and said: “The Messenger of Allah has forbidden me to do something that was beneficial for us, but obedience to Allah and His Messenger is more beneficial.” We said: “What is that?” He said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Whoever has land, let him cultivate it (himself) or give it to his brother to cultivate, and not lease it in return for one-third or one-quarter of the yield nor a specified amount of food (produce).'”

“I was an orphan in the care of my grandfather Rafi’ bin Khadij. I reached puberty and became a man, and I performed Hajj with him. My brother ‘Imran bin Sahl bin Rafi’ bin Khadij came and said: ‘O my father, we have leased our land to so and so (a woman) for two hundred Dirhams.’ He said: ‘O my son, leave that (do not do it), for Allah will give you other provision. The Messenger of Allah forbade leasing land.'”

“I noticed that the Messenger of Allah was not there one night, and I thought that he had gone to one of his other wives. I looked for him then I came back, and there he was, bowing or prostrating and saying: ‘Subhanaka wa bi hamdika la ilaha illa anta (Glory and praise be to You, there is none worthy of worship but You).’ I said: ‘May my father and mother be sacrificed for you; you were doing one thing and I was thinking of something else.'”

“Shall I not tell you about the Prophet and I?” We said: “Yes.” She said: “When it was my night when he” -meaning the Prophet- “was with me, he came in, placed his shoes by his feet, lay down his Rida’ (upper garment), and spread the edge of his Izar (lower garment) on his bed. As soon as he thought that I had gone to sleep, he put his shoes on slowly, and picked up his Rida’ slowly. Then he opened the door slowly, went out and shut it slowly. I put my garment over my head, covered myself and put on my Izar (lower garment), and I set out after him until he came to Al-Baqi’, raised his hands three times and stood there for a long time. Then he left and I left, he hurried and I hurried, he ran and I ran, and I got there before him and entered (the house). I had only just laid down when he came in and said: ‘O ‘Aishah, why are you out of breath?’ She said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Either you tell me or Allah, the All-Aware, All-Knowing, will tell me.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you;’ and I told him the story. He said: ‘You were the black shape I saw in front of me?’ I said: ‘Yes.'” She said: “He gave me a shove in the chest that hurt me and said: ‘You thought that Allah and His Messenger would be unfair to you.’ She said: ‘Whatever people conceal, Allah knows it.’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Jibril came to me when you saw (me leave) but he did not enter upon you because you have taken off your garments. So he called me but he concealed himself from you, and I answered him, but I concealed it from you. I thought that you had gone to sleep and I did not want to wake you, and I was afraid that you would feel lonely. He told me to go to Al-Baqi’ and pray for forgiveness for them.'” ‘Asim reported it from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amir, from ‘Aishah, with a wording different from this.

“I noticed that he was not there one night” and he quoted the rest of the Hadith.

“Eighty men from ‘Ukl came to the Messenger of Allah ” and he (the narrator) mentioned a similar report up to the words: “And he did not have (their wounds) cauterized.” And he said: “They killed the herdsman.”

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Do not revert to disbelievers after I am gone, striking the necks of one another (killing one another). No man is to be punished for the sins of his father, or for the sins of his brother.'”

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Do not revert to disbelievers after I am gone, striking the necks of one another (killing one another). No man is to be punished for the sins of his father, or the sins of his brother.'”

the Messenger of Allah offered the ‘Aqiqah for Al-Hasan and Al-Husain.

“Were it not that dogs form one of the communities (or nations – of creatures), I would have commanded that they be killed. But kill those that are all black. Any people who keep a dog, except for dogs used for farming, hunting or herding livestock, one Qirat will be deducted from their reward each day.”

he caught an onager and brought it to his companion’s who were in Ihram whereas he was not, and they ate from it. Then they said to one another: “Let us ask the Messenger of Allah about it,” So we asked him and he said:” You did well” Then he said to us: “Do you have anything left of it?” We said: “Yes.” He said: “Give us some “So we brought him some, and he ate from it, while he was in Ihram.

“The Prophet sent us, a group of three hundred, and we carried our provision on our mounts. Our supplies ran our until each man of us had one date per day.” It was said to him: “O Abu’Abdullah , what good is one date for a man?” he said: “When we ran out of dates it became very difficult for us. Then we found a whale that had been cast ashore by the sea. And we ate from it for eight days.”

“I heard Jabir say: ‘The Messenger of Allah sent us, three hundred riders led by Abu ‘Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah, to lie in wait for the caravan of the Quraish. We stayed on the coast and became very hungry, so much so that we ate Khabat. Then the sea cast ashore a beast called (Al-‘Anbar), and we ate from it for half a month, and daubed our bodies with its fat, and our health was restored. Abu ‘Ubaidah took one it its ribs and looked for the tallest camel and the tallest man in the army, and he passed beneath it. Then they got hungry again and a man slaughtered three camels, then they got hungry and a man slaughtered three camels, then they got hungry and a man slaughtered three camels, then they got hungry and a man slaughtered three camels. Then Abu ‘Ubaidah told him not to do that.” (One of the narrators) Sufyan said: “Abu Az-Zubair said, narrating from Jabir: “We asked the Prophet and he said: ‘Do you have anything left of it?”‘ he said; “We took out, such-and -such an amount of a fat from its (the whale’s) eyes, and four men could fit into its eye socket. Abu ‘Ubaidah had a sack of dates and he used to give them out by the handful, then he started to give one date at a time, and when we ran out of dates it became very difficult for us.”

“The Prophet sent us with Abu ‘Ubaidah on a campaign. Our supplies ran out. Then we passed by a whale that had been cast ashore by the sea. We wanted to eat from it, but Abu ‘Ubaidah told us not to. Then he said: ‘We are the envoys of the Messenger of Allah for the sake of Allah, so eat. So we ate from it for several days. When we came to the messenger of Allah we told him about that and he said: ‘If you have anything left of it then send it to us.”‘

“The Messenger of Allah sent us with Abu Ubaidah and we numbered over three hundred men. He supplied us with a sack of dates and gave them out by the handful. When he ran short, he gave us one date at a time, until we used to suck on it like an infant, and we would drink water with it. When we ran out of them it became very difficult for us. We used to hit the Khabat leaves with our bows to knock them down) and swallow them, then drink water with it. We became known as Jaish Al-Khabat (the Khabat army). Then, when we were about to turn inland, we saw a beast like a hill, caloled Al-‘Anbar. Abu ‘Ubaidah said: ‘It is dead meat, do not eat it.’ Then he said: ‘The army of the Messenger of Allah in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and we are forced by necessity; eat in the name of Allah. ‘So we arte from it and we made some if it into jerked meat. Thirteen men could sit in its eye-socket. Abu Ubaidah took one of its ribs and seated a man on the biggest camel that the people had, and they passed beneath it. When we came to the Messenger of Allah, he said: ‘What kept you so long?’ We said: The Quraish’ and we told him about the beast. He said: ‘That is provision that Allah granted to you. Do you have anything of it with you? “We said: ‘ Yes.”

“the Messenger of Allah forbade selling the fruit of date palms until they are fit to eat.”

“Safwina was slleping in the Masjid with his Rida’ beneath him, and it was stolen. He got up, and the man had gone, but he caught up with him, and took him to the prophet, who ordered that his hand be cut off.

“I was sleeping in the Masjid on a Khmaishah of mine that was worth thirty dirhams, and a man came and stole it from me. The man was caught and taken to the Prophet, who ordered that his hand be cut off. I came to him and said: “Will you cut off his hand for the sake of only thirty Dirhams? I will sell it to him on credit.” He said:” Why did you not say this before you brought him to me?”

“The hand of the traitor is not to be cut off.” (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: Ashath bin Sawwar (one of its narrators) is weak.

“My father and I came to the Prophet and he had dyed his beard with Henna.”

That when Mu’awiyah went on Hajj, he gathered together a group of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah forbid wearing gold?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “And I bear witness to that.”

“I heard ‘Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, say: ‘Avoid Khamr for it is the mother of all evils. There was a man among those who came before you who was a devoted worshipper. An immoral woman fell in love with him. She sent her slave girl to him, saying: We are calling you to bear witness. So he set out with her slave girl, and every time he entered a door, she locked it behind him, until he reached a beautiful woman who has with her a boy and a vessel of wine. She said: ‘By Allah, I did not call you to bear witness, rather I called you to have intercourse with me, or to drink a cup of this wine, or to kill this boy.’ He said: ‘Pour me a cup of this wine.’ So she poured him a cup. He said: ‘Give me more.’ And soon he had intercourse with her and killed the boy. So avoid Khamr, for by Allah faith and addiction to Khamr cannot coexist but, one of them will soon expel the other.”

A man asked about drinks and he said: “Avoid everything that intoxicates.”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah say: ‘That which is lawful is clear and that which is unlawful is clear, but between them there are matters which are doubtful.'” And sometimes he said: “But between them are matters that are not as clear. I will describe the likeness of that for you. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has a sanctuary and the sanctuary of Allah is that which He has forbidden. Whoever grazes around the sanctuary will soon transgress into the sanctuary. And whoever approaches a matter that is unclear, he will soon wind up in the sanctuary.” And sometimes he said: “He will soon transgress, and indeed whoever mixes in doubt, he will soon cross into it.”

He disliked to sell raisins to one who would use them to make Nabidh.

“Sa’d had many grapevines and he had someone looking after them for him. (The vines) bore many grapes, and that man wrote to him (saying): ‘I am afraid that the grapes will be wasted; what do you think if I squeeze them to make juice? Sa’d wrote to him (saying): ‘When this letter of mine reaches you, leave my land, for by Allah I cannot trust you with anything ever agin.’ So he made him leave his land.”

He used to drink thickened grape juice that of which two-third had gone and one-third was left.

“Drink it for three days unless it bubbles.”

“I came to the Messenger of Allah and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we have grapevines and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has revealed that Khamr (wine) is forbidden, so what should we do?’ He said: ‘Make raisins.’ I said: ‘What should we do with the raisins?’ He said: ‘Soak them in the morning and drink them in the evening, and soak them in the evening and drink them in the morning.’ I said: ‘Can we leave it until it gets stronger?’ He said: ‘Do not put it in clay vessels, rather put it in skins, for if it stays there for a long time, it will turn into vinegar.'”

“We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we have grapevines; what should we do with them?’ He said: ‘Make raisins.’ We said: ‘What should we do with the raisins?’ He said: ‘Soak them in the morning and drink them in the evening, and soak them in the evening and drink them in the morning.’ I said: ‘Can we leave it until it gets stronger?’ He said: ‘Do not put it in clay vessels, rather put it in skins, for if it stays there for a long time, it will turn into vinegar.'”

When the Prophet (ﷺ) congratulated a man on his marriage, he said: May Allah bless for you, and may He bless on you, and combine both of you in good (works).

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.

He said: Messenger of Allah, tell me about keeping fast on Monday and Thursday. He said: On it I was born, and on it the Qur’an was first revealed to me.

while she was on a journey along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): I had a race with him (the Prophet) and I outstripped him on my feet. When I became fleshy, (again) I had a race with him (the Prophet) and he outstripped me. He said: This is for that outstripping.

That he and ‘Uthman b. ‘Affan went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) talking to him about the fifth which he divided among the Banu Hisham and Abu ‘Abd al-Muttalib. I said: Messenger of Allah, you have divided (the fifth) among our brethren Banu ‘Abd al-Muttalib, but you have not given us anything, though our relationship to you is the same as theirs. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The Banu Hisham and the Banu ‘Abd al-Muttalib are one. Jubair said: He did not divide the fifth among the Banu ‘Abd Shams and the Banu Nawfal as he divided among the Banu Hashim and the Banu ‘Abd al-Muttalib. He said: Abu Bakr used to divide the fifth like the division of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) except that he did not give the relatives of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), as he gave them. ‘Umar b. al-Khattab and ‘Uthman after him used to give them (a portion) from it.

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.

Abdullah ibn AbuBakr and some children of Muhammad ibn Maslamah said: There remained some people of Khaybar and they confined themselves to the fortresses. They asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to protect their lives and let them go. He did so. The people of Fadak heard this; they also adopted a similar way. (Fadak) was, therefore, exclusively reserved for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), for it was not captured by the expedition of cavalry and camelry.

The Prophet (ﷺ) protected Naqi and said: There is no (permission for) protected land except for Allah Most High.

(I think that the people of Ziyad informed me that he reported on the authority of the Prophet (ﷺ): A rider should go behind the bier, and those on foot should walk behind it, in front of it, on its right and on its left keeping near it.

The first of those murdered among us whose blood-vengeance I remit is al-Harith ibn AbdulMuttalib, who suckled among Banu Layth and killed by Hudhayl.” He then said: O Allah, have I conveyed the message? They said: Yes, saying it three times. He then said: O Allah, be witness, saying it three times.

The version of Musaddad has: So he (Rafi’ ibn Khadij) heard his statement: Do not lease agricultural lands.

My uncle sent me and his slave to Sa’id ibn al-Musayyab. We said to him, there is something which has reached us about sharecropping. He replied: Ibn Umar did not see any harm in it until a tradition reached him from Rafi’ ibn Khadij. He then came to him and Rafi’ told him that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Banu Harithah and saw crop in the land of Zuhayr. He said: What an excellent crop of Zuhayr is! They said: It does not belong to Zuhayr. He asked: Is this not the land of Zuhayr? They said: Yes, but the crop belongs to so-and-so. He said: Take your crop and give him the wages. Rafi’ said: We took our crop and gave him the wages. Sa’id (ibn al-Musayyab) said: Lend your brother or employ him for dirhams.

Do not go our to meet what is being brought (to market for sale). If anyone does so and buys some of it, the owner of merchandise has a choice (of canceling the deal) when it comes to the market.

He then withdrew the cushion from beneath him and placed the Torah on it saying: I believed in thee and in Him Who revealed thee. He then said: Bring me one who is learned among you. Then a young man was brought. The transmitter then mentioned the rest of the tradition of stoning similar to the one transmitted by Malik from Nafi'(No. 4431).

There is no prescribed punishment for one who has sexual intercourse with an animal. Abu Dawud said: ‘Ata is also so.

About the story of Haml ibn Malik, Ibn Abbas said: She aborted a child who had grown hair and was dead, and the woman also died. He (the Prophet) gave judgment that the blood-wit was to be paid by the woman’s relatives on the father’s side. Her uncle said: Messenger of Allah! She has aborted a child who had grown hair. The father of the woman who had slain said: He is a liar: I swear by Allah, he did not raise his voice, or drink or eat. No compensation is to be paid for an offence like this. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: is it a rhymed prose of pre-Islamic Arabia and its soothsaying? Pay a male or female slave of the best quality in compensation for the child. Ibn ‘Abbas said: The name of one of them was Mulaikah, and the name of the other was Umm Ghutaif.

A servant of some poor people cut off the ear of the servant of some rich people. His people came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah! we are poor people. So he imposed no compensation on them.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If anyone is killed blindly or, when people are throwing stones, by a stone or a whip, his blood-wit is the blood-wit for an accidental murder. But if anyone is killed intentionally, retaliation is due. If anyone tries to prevent it, the curse of Allah, of angels, and of all the people will rest on him.

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: In eloquence there is magic, in knowledge ignorance, in poetry wisdom, and in speech heaviness. Sa’sa’ah ibn Suhan said: The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) spoke the truth. His statement “In eloquence there is magic” means: (For example), there is a right due from a man who is more eloquent in reasoning than the man who is demanding his right. He (the defendant) charms the people by his speech and takes away his right. His statement “In knowledge there is ignorance” means: A scholar brings to his knowledge what he does not know, and thus he becomes ignorant of that. His statement “In poetry there is wisdom” means: These are the sermons and examples by which people receive admonition. His statement “In speech there is heaviness” means: That you present your speech and your talk to a man who is not capable of understanding it, and who does not want it.

the Prophet said: “There are no days more beloved to Allah that He be worshipped in them than the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, fasting every day of them is the equivalent of fasting a year, and standing every night of them (in prayer) is the equivalent of standing on the Night of Qadr.”

The Messenger of Allah said: “Indeed your Lord said: ‘Every good deed is rewarded with ten of the same up to seven hundred times over. Fasting is for Me, and I shall reward for it.’ Fasting is a shield from the Fire. The smell coming from the mouth of the one fasting is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk.

Jabir bin Abdullah informed him that the Prophet had put two men together in one cloth from those who were killed at (the battle of) Uhud, then he said: “Which of them memorized the more of the Qur’an?” When one of them was indicated to him, he put him in the Lahd (first) and said: “I am a witness for those people on the Day of Judgment.” And he ordered that they be buried in their blood, and that they not be prayed over, nor washed.

“A funeral (procession) passed by the Messenger of Allah and they were praising him with good statements. So the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Granted.’ Then he said: ‘You are Allah’s witnesses on the earth.'”

The Messenger of Allah said to him: “O Ali! Three are not to be delayed: Salat when it is due, the funeral when it is presented, and (marriage) for the single woman when someone compatible is found.”

“We went with Allah’s Messenger, while we were young men who had nothing. He said: ‘O young men! You should marry, for indeed it helps in lowering the gaze and protecting the private parts. Whoever among you is not able to marry, then let him fast, for indeed fasting will diminish his sexual desire.”

This is the view of Ash-Shafi’i, Ahmad and Ishaq. There are those among people of knowledge, among the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) and others, who disliked selling the Mudabbar. This is the view of Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Malik and Al-Awza’i.

“The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited meeting the goods being brought (to the market). If someone were to meet them and buy them, then the owner of the goods retains the option when he reaches the market.” This Hadith is Hasan Gharib narration of Ayyub (a narrator).

This is the view of Ash-Shafi’i, and others among our companions.
