My father said, “I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, ‘The period of your stay as compared to the previous nations is like the period equal to the time between the `Asr prayer and sunset. The people of the Torah were given the Torah and they acted (upon it) till midday then they were exhausted and were given one Qirat (of gold) each. And then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel and they acted (upon it) till the `Asr prayer then they were exhausted and were! given one Qirat each. And then we were given the Qur’an and we acted (upon it) till sunset and we were given two Qirats each. On that the people of both the scriptures said, ‘O our Lord! You have given them two Qirats and given us one Qirat, though we have worked more than they.’ Allah said, ‘Have I usurped some of your right?’ They said, ‘No.’ Allah said: “That is my blessing I bestow upon whomsoever I wish.”
My father said that Allah s Apostle said, “Bilal pronounces ‘Adhan at night, so keep on eating and drinking (Suhur) till Ibn Um Maktum pronounces Adhan.” Salim added, “He was a blind man who would not pronounce the Adhan unless he was told that the day had dawned.”
I heard Um Ad-Darda’ saying, “Abu Ad-Darda’ entered the house in an angry mood. I said to him. ‘What makes you angry?’ He replied, ‘By Allah! I do not find the followers of Muhammad doing those good things (which they used to do before) except the offering of congregational prayer.” (This happened in the last days of Abu Ad-Darda’ during the rule of `Uthman) .
My father said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to raise both his hands up to the level of his shoulders when opening the prayer; and on saying the Takbir for bowing. And on raising his head from bowing he used to do the same and then say “Sami`a l-lahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka l-hamd.” And he did not do that (i.e. raising his hands) in prostrations.
My father said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘If the wife of any one of you asks permission (to go to the mosque) do not forbid her.”
My father said , “I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) delivering the Khutba on the pulpit and he said, ‘Whoever comes for the Jumua prayer should take a bath (before coming).’ “
At night `Abdullah bin `Umar used to offer the prayer on the back of his animal during the journey and never cared about the direction he faced. Ibn `Umar said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to offer the optional prayer on the back of his Mount facing any direction and also used to pray the witr on it but never offered the compulsory prayer on it.”
Ibn `Umar said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray the Nawafil on the back of his Mount (carriage) by signs facing any direction.” Ibn `Umar used to do the same.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “On a land irrigated by rain water or by natural water channels or if the land is wet due to a near by water channel Ushr (i.e. one-tenth) is compulsory (as Zakat); and on the land irrigated by the well, half of an Ushr (i.e. one-twentieth) is compulsory (as Zakat on the yield of the land).”
I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “The Miqat for the people of Medina is Dhul-Hulaifa; for the people of Sham is Mahita; (i.e. Al-Juhfa); and for the people of Najd is Qarn. And said Ibn `Umar, “They claim, but I did not hear personally, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The Miqat for the people of Yemen is Yalamlam.”
I heard my father saying, “Never did Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) assume Ihram except at the Mosque, that is, at the Mosque of Dhul-Hulaifa.
`Abdul Malik wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should not differ from Ibn `Umar during Hajj. On the Day of `Arafat, when the sun declined at midday, Ibn `Umar came along with me and shouted near Al- Hajjaj’s cotton (cloth) tent. Al-Hajjaj came Out, wrapping himself with a waist-sheet dyed with safflower, and said, “O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! What is the matter?” He said, If you want to follow the Sunna (the tradition of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ) then proceed (to `Arafat).” Al-Hajjaj asked, “At this very hour?” Ibn `Umar said, “Yes.” He replied, “Please wait for me till I pour some water over my head (i.e. take a bath) and come out.” Then Ibn `Umar dismounted and waited till Al-Hajjaj came out. So, he (Al-Hajjaj) walked in between me and my father (Ibn `Umar). I said to him, “If you want to follow the Sunna then deliver a brief sermon and hurry up for the stay at `Arafat.” He started looking at `Abdullah (Ibn `Umar) (inquiringly), and when `Abdullah noticed that, he said that he had told the truth.
`Abdul-Malik bin Marwan wrote to Al-Hajjaj that he should follow `Abdullah bin `Umar in all the ceremonies of Hajj. So when it was the Day of `Arafat (9th of Dhul-Hijja), and after the sun has deviated or has declined from the middle of the sky, I and Ibn `Umar came and he shouted near the cotton (cloth) tent of Al-Hajjaj, “Where is he?” Al-Hajjaj came out. Ibn `Umar said, “Let us proceed (to `Arafat).” Al-Hajjaj asked, “Just now?” Ibn `Umar replied, “Yes.” Al-Hajjaj said, “Wait for me till I pour water on me (i.e. take a bath).” So, Ibn `Umar dismounted (and waited) till Al-Hajjaj came out. He was walking between me and my father. I informed Al-Hajjaj, “If you want to follow the Sunna today, then you should shorten the sermon and then hurry up for the stay (at `Arafat).” Ibn `Umar said, “He (Salim) has spoken the truth.”
`Abdullah bin `Umar used to send the weak among his family early to Mina. So they used to depart from Al-Mash’ar Al-Haram (that is Al-Muzdalifa) at night (when the moon had set) and invoke Allah as much as they could, and then they would return (to Mina) before the Imam had started from Al- Muzdalifa to Mina. So some of them would reach Mina at the time of the Fajr prayer and some of them would come later. When they reached Mina they would throw pebbles on the Jamra (Jamrat-Al- `Aqaba) Ibn `Umar used to say, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) gave the permission to them (weak people) to do so.”
Ibn `Umar used to do Rami of the Jamrat-ud-Dunya (the Jamra near to the Khaif mosque) with seven small stones and used to recite Takbir on throwing every pebble. He then would go ahead till he reached the level ground where he would stand facing the Qibla for a long time to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands (while invoking). Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Wusta (middle Jamra) and then he would go to the left towards the middle ground, where he would stand facing the Qibla. He would remain standing there for a long period to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands, and would stand there for a long period. Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba from the middle of the valley, but he would not stay by it, and then he would leave and say, “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) doing like this.”
`Abdullah bin `Umar used to do Rami of the Jamrat-ud-Dunya with seven small pebbles and used to recite Takbir on throwing each stone. He, then, would proceed further till he reached the level ground, where he would stay for a long time, facing the Qibla to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands. Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Wusta similarly and would go to the left towards the level ground, where he would stand for a long time facing the Qibla to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands. Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba from the middle of the valley, but he would not stay by it. Ibn `Umar used to say, “I saw Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) doing like that.”
(Abdullah) bin `Umar used to say, “Is not (the following of) the tradition of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sufficient for you? If anyone of you is prevented from performing Hajj, he should perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba and between As-Safa and Al-Marwa and then finish the Ihram and everything will become legal for him which was illegal for him (during the state of Ihram) and he can perform Hajj in a following year and he should slaughter a Hadi or fast in case he cannot afford the Hadi.”
that his father said. “I saw those, who used to buy foodstuff without measuring or weighing in the life time of the Prophet (ﷺ) being punished if they sold it before carrying it to their own houses.”
`Abdullah bin `Umar said, “I knew that the land was rented for cultivation in the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle .” Later on Ibn `Umar was afraid that the Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden it, and he had no knowledge of it, so he gave up renting his land.
Jabir bin `Abdullah said, “The people became very thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty). A small pot containing some water was in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) and when he had finished the ablution, the people rushed towards him. He asked, ‘What is wrong with you?’ They replied, ‘We have no water either for performing ablution or for drinking except what is present in front of you.’ So he placed his hand in that pot and the water started flowing among his fingers like springs. We all drank and performed ablution (from it).” I asked Jabir, “How many were you?” he replied, “Even if we had been one-hundred-thousand, it would have been sufficient for us, but we were fifteen-hundred.”
— “Not for you (O Muhammad!)……(till the end of Verse) For they are indeed wrong-doers.” (3.128)
“A vessel was brought to Mujahid, which I estimated to be eight Ratls, and he said: ‘Aishah told me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to perform Ghusl using such a vessel.'”
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Ghusl and a cloth was brought to him, but he did not touch it, and he started doing like this with the water. This is a demonstration of his wiping off the water on his body with his hands.
“If the Prophet (ﷺ)” – (one of the narrators) ‘Amr said: “If the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)” – “wanted to eat or sleep while he was Junub, he would perform Wudu’.” In his narration, ‘Amr (one of the narrators) added: “Wudu’ was for prayer.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Allah loves concealment, so when any one of you performs Ghusl let him conceal himself with something.'”
“I heard Ibn ‘Umar say: ‘I would rather wake up in the morning covered in tar than wake up and enter Ihram with the smell of perfume coming from me.’ I entered upon ‘Aishah and told her what he had said, and she said: ‘I put perfume on the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he went round to all his wives, then in the morning he entered Ihram.'”
“We prayed toward Bait Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for sixteen or seventeen months – Safwan was not sure – then it was changed to the Qiblah.”
“Whoever catches up with two Rak’ahs of ‘Asr prayer before the sun sets, or one Rak’ah of the Subh prayer before the sun rises, has caught it.”
“I heard my father say: ‘I heard ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir Al-Juhani say: There are three times during which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade us to pray in or bury our dead: When the sun has clearly stated to rise, until it is fully risen; when it is directly overhead at noon, until it has passed its zenith; and when it is close to setting, until it has fully set.'”
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade praying after ‘Asr until the sun had set, and after Subh until the sun had risen.
“The sun set when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in Makkah, and he joined the two prayers in Sarif.: A valley about 12 km northeast of Makkah on the way to Al-Madinah.
“We asked Salim bin ‘Abdullah about prayer while traveling. We said: ‘Did ‘Abdullah combine any of his prayer while traveling?’ He said: ‘No, except at Jam’.’ Then he paused, and said: ‘Safiyyah was married to him, and she sent word to him that she was in her last day in this world and the first day in the Hereafter. So he ride off in a hurry, and I was with him. The time for prayer came and the Mu’adhdhin said to him: ‘The prayer, O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman! But he kept going until it was between the time for the two prayer. Then he stopped and said to the Mu’adhdhin: “Say the Iqamah, and when I say the Taslim at the end of Zuhr, say the Iqamah (again) straight away.” So he said the Iqamah and he prayed Zuhr, two Rak’ahs, then he said the Iqamah (again) straight away, and he prayed ‘Asr, two Rak’ahs. Then he rode off quickly until the sun set and the Mu’adhdhin said to him: “The prayer, O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman!” He said: “Do what you did before.” He rode on until the starts appeared, then he stopped and said: “Say the Iqamah, then when I say the Taslim, say the Iqamah. So he said the Iqamah and he prayed Maghrib, three Rak’ahs, then he said the Iqamah (again) straight away and he prayed ‘Isha’, then he said one Taslim, turning his face. Then he said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘If any one of you has urgent need that he fears he may miss, let him pray like this.'”
“Why?” He said: “So that there would not be any hardship on his Ummah.”
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Yazid that Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari told him, that during the Farewell Pilgrimage. He prayed with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) Maghrib and ‘Isha’ prayers together at Al-Muzdalifah.
“I was praying Witr, and ‘Abdullah was asked: ‘Is there any Witr after the Adhan?’ He said: “Yes, and after the Iqamah, and he narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) slept and missed the prayer until the sun rose then prayed.'” And the wording is that of Yahya.

“Those people, if there was a righteous man among them, when he died they built a place of worship over his grave and made those images. They will be the most evil of creation before Allah on the Day of Resurrection.”
Al Bara bin Azib said: The messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) came to Al-Madinah and prayed toward Bait-al-Maqdis for sixteen months, then he was commanded to pray toward the Ka’bah. A man who had prayed with the prophet (peace be upon him)passed by some of the Ansar and said: “I bear witness that the messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has been commanded to face toward the Ka’bah. So they turned to face the Ka’bah”.
It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to make his prayer very brief but still complete when leading people.
“We asked ‘Ali about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: ‘Who among you could manage to do that?’ We said: ‘Even if we cannot do it, we still want to hear about it.’ He said: ‘When the sun reached the same height (in the east) as it reaches (in the west) at the time of ‘Asr, he would pray two rak’ahs, and when the sun reached the same height (in the east) as it reaches (in the west) at the time for Zuhr he would pray four Rak’ahs. He would pray four Rak’ahs before Zuhr and two after, and he would pray four Rak’ahs before ‘Asr, separating each two Rak’ahs with Taslim upon the angels who are close to Allah, and the prophets, and those who follow them of the believers and Muslims.”‘
“I asked ‘Ali bin Abi Talib about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the day before the prescribed prayers. He said: ‘Who is able to do that?’ Then he told us:’The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray two Rak’ahs when the sun had passed its zenith, and four Rak’ahs before the middle of the day, with the Taslim at the end.”‘
I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he said the opening Takbir of the prayer, raise his hands until they were level with his shoulders. When he said the Takbir before bowing he did likewise, and when he said: ‘Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him),’ he did likewise, then he said: ‘Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (Our Lord, to You be praise).’ But he did not do that when he prostrated or when he raised his head from prostration.
Marwan appointed Abu Hurairah as governor of Al-Madinah. When he stood to offer an obligatory prayer, he would say the takbir, then he said the takbir when he bowed, and when he raised his head from bowing he said: “Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (Allah hears those who praise Him; our Lord, and to You be the praise).” Then he would say the takbir when he went down in prostration, then he said the takbir when he stood up after two rak’ahs, after saying the Tashahhud, and he did that until he had finished the prayer. When he had finished his prayer and said the Salam, he turned to the people in the masjid and said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I am the one among you whose prayer most closely resembles that of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).”
“It is established for you to hold the knees, so hold the knees.”
“My father told me: ‘I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and I saw him raise his hands when he started to pray, and when he bowed, and when he said: Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him)” like this.'” And (one of the narrators) Qais pointed towards his ears.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to raise his hands until they were in level with his shoulders when he started to pray, and when he raised his head from bowing he did likewise, and when he said: Sami’ Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him)” he said: “Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (Our Lord, to You be praise)” and he did not raise his hands between the two prostrations.
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say the Qunut in Subh and Maghrib. (One of the narrators) ‘Ubaidullah said: “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to.”

Abdullah said: “I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say the Takbir every time he went down and got up, or stood or sat; he said the Salam on his right and his left: ‘As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatulah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah ),’ until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen.” He said: “And I saw Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, may Allah (SWT) be pleased with them both, doing the same.”
“Ali bin Abi Talib prayed, and he said the takbir every time he went down and came up, in all movements of the prayer. ‘Imran bin Husain said: ‘This reminds me of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).'”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed at Dhi Qarad and the people formed two rows behind him, one row behind him and one row facing the enemy. He led those who were behind him in praying one rak’ah, then they went and took the place of the others, and the others came and he led them in praying one rak’ah, and they did not make it up.
‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood and the people stood with him, and he said the takbir and they said the takbir. Then he bowed, and some of them bowed, then he prostrated and they prostrated, then he stood for the second rak’ah and those who had prostrated with him moved back and guarded their brothers, and the other group came and bowed and prostrated with the Prophet (ﷺ). All the people were praying and saying the takbir, but they were guarding one another.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) offered the fear prayer with those who were behind him, praying two rak’ahs (with them) and two rak’ahs with those who came after them, so the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed four rak’ahs and the others each prayed two rak’ahs.

When he wanted to bow he would stand up, and bow and prostrate, and he did that after witr. Then when he heard the call for Subh, he stood up and prayed two brief rak’ahs.

“My sister Hafsah told me that he used to pray two brief rak’ahs before Fajr.”

He commanded us to visit the risk, to reply (say: Yarhamuk Allah, may Allah have mercy on you) to one who sneezes, to fulfill our oaths, to support the oppressed, to spread the greeting of Salam, to accept invitation, and to attend funerals. And he forbade us from using gold rings, silver vessels, Mayathir, the Qasiyyah, Al-Istabraq, silk and Ad-Dibaj.”
“I heard Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib say: The Messenger of Allah said: ‘whoever follows a Janazah until the prayer is offered, he will have one Qirat of reward and whoever walks with the funeral until (the body) is buried will have two Qirats of reward, and a Qirat is like Uhud.”‘
A similar, Mursal, report was narrated from ‘Ikrimah.
“Bilal calls the Adhan at night to awaken those of you who are asleep, and so that those who are praying Qiyam cam return. Dawn is not when the light appears like this” – and he gestured with his hand – “rather dawn is when it appears like this: – and he gestured with his two forefingers. ‘

“The Messenger of Allah came to me one day and said: ‘Do you have anything (to eat) we said: ‘No.’ he said: ‘Then I am fasting.”
“Do you have any food?” and Aishah said: “O Messenger of Allah, we have been given some Hais.” So he called for it, and said: “I started the day fasting,” then he ate.
the Messenger of Allah entered upon ‘Aishah and said: “Do you have any food?” a similar report.
“The Messenger of Allah came one day and said: ‘Do you have any food?’ I said: ‘No.’ He came in to me on another occasion, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, we have been given some Hais.’ He said: “Then I will break my fast today, although I had started my day fasting.”‘

“I asked the Messenger of Allah and he gave me, then I asked him and he gave me. The he said: ‘O Hakim, this wealth is attractive and sweet. Whoever takes it without being greedy, it will be blessed for him, and whoever takes it with avarice, it will be blessed for him. He is like one who eats and is not satisfied. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! By the One Who sent you with the truth, I will never ask anyone for anything after you, until I depart this world. “‘
“The son of the daughter of a people is one of them.”
the Messenger of Allah appointed a man from Banu Makhzum to collect Sadaqah. Abu Rafi wanted to go with him, but the Messenger of Allah said: “The Sadaqah is not permissible for us, and the freed slave of a people is one of them.”
“We went out with the Messenger of Allah when there were five days left of Dhul-Qa’dah, with no intention other than to perform Hajj. When we were close to Makkah, the Messenger of Allah commanded those who did not have a Hadi (sacrificial animal) with them to exit Ihram after circumambulating the House.”
“The people of Al-Madinah should enter into Ihram from Dhul-Hulaifah, the people of Ash-sham from Al-Juhfah, the people of Najd from Qarn.” And it was mentioned to me, although I did not hear him say it: “And the people of Yemen should enter into Ihram from Yalamlam.;

That the Messenger of Allah combined Hajj and “Umrah, then no Qur’an was revealed concerning that, and the Prophet did not forbid it, regardless of what one man may say.
“I came from Yemen and the Prophet had stopped in Al-Batha at the time to Hajj. He asked: ‘Have you performed Hajj?’ I said: ‘Yes, He said: ‘What did you say?’ I said; ‘Labbaika bi ihlal ka ihlal in-nabiy (Here I am (O Allah, entering Ihram for that for which the Prophet entered Ihram). He said ‘Circumambulate the House and (perform Sa) between As-Safa and Al-Marwah, and exit Ihram.’ Then I went to a woman who combed my hair. I started to issue Fatwas to the people based on that. Then during the Khilafah of ‘Umar, a man said to me: ‘O abu Musa, withhold some of our Fatwas from us, for you do not know what the Commander of the Believers has introduced into the rites after you.”’ Abu Musa said: “O people, O people, whoever heard our Fatwa,let him not rush to follow it, for the Commander of the Believers is coming to your and you should follow him.: ‘Umar said: “If we follow the Book of Allah, then indeed He commands us to complete Hajj and ‘Umrah, and the Messenger of Allah did not exit Ihram until the Hadi had reached its place.”
“Part of the Talbiyah of the Messenger of Allah was: ‘Labbaika ilahal-haqq (Here I am, O God of truth).” (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa’i) said: I do not know of anyone who narrated a chain for this from ‘Abdullah bin Al-Fadl except for ‘Abdul-Aziz. Ismail bin Umayyah reported it from him in Mursal form.
“Jibril came to me and said: ‘O Muhammad! Tell your Companions to rise their voices when reciting the Talbiyah.”

I complained about that to the Messenger of Allah and he said: ‘Undo your hair, and comb it, and enter Ihram for Hajj, and leave ‘Umrah.’ When I had completed Hajj, the Messenger of Allah sent me with ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr to At-Tan’im, and I performed ‘Umrah. He said: ‘This is the place of your ‘Umrah.’ Then those who had entered Ihram for ‘Umar circumambulated the House and (performed Sa’i) between As-Safa and Al-Marwah. Then they exited Ihram, then they performed Tawaf again, after they came back from Mina for their Hajj. As for those who combined Hajj and ‘Umrah, they only performed one Tawaf.”
That Duba’ah wanted to perform Hajj, so the Prophet Told here to stipulate a condition, and she acted upon the command of the Messenger of Allah.
“There are five which the Muhrim may kill: snakes, mice, kites, speckled crows and vicious dogs.”
“We were with the Messenger of Allah in Al-Khaif, which is in Mina, when the following was revealed: ‘By the winds sent forth one after another.’ A snake came out, and the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Kill it.’ So they rushed to kill, but it went back into its hole.”

They said: ‘They are stronger than such and such.'”

And You know, I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things. O Allah, if in Your knowledge, this matter (then it should be mentioned by name) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood and my affairs (or: both in this world and in the Hereafter), then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if in Your knowledge it is bad for me and for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs (or: for me both in this world and the next), then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and ordain for me the good wherever it may be and make me pleased with it.)”
