While the Prophet (ο·Ί) was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Messenger (ο·Ί) continued his talk, so some people said that Allah's Messenger (ο·Ί) had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Allah's Messenger (ο·Ί) had not heard it. When the Prophet (ο·Ί) finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who inquired about the Hourβ¦
The Prophet (ο·Ί) said, "(Religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious scholars) ignorance (in religion) and afflictions will appear; and Harj will increase." It was asked, "What is Harj, O Allah's Messenger (ο·Ί)?" He replied by beckoning with his hand indicating "killing." (Fath-al-Bari Page 192, Vol. 1)
I said: "O Allah's Messenger (ο·Ί)! Who will be the luckiest person, who will gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?" Allah's Messenger (ο·Ί) said: O Abu Huraira! "I have thought that none will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart "None has theβ¦
The Prophet (ο·Ί) said, "Name yourselves with my name (use my name) but do not name yourselves with my Kunya name (i.e. Abul Qasim). And whoever sees me in a dream then surely he has seen me for Satan cannot impersonate me. And whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally), then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of Khuza`a killed a man from the tribe of Bani Laith in revenge for a killed person, belonging to them. They informed the Prophet (ο·Ί) about it. So he rode his Rahila (she-camel for riding) and addressed the people saying, "Allah held back the killing from Mecca. (The sub-narrator is in doubt whether the Prophet (ο·Ί) said "elephant or killing," as the Arabic words standing for these words have greatβ¦
There is none among the companions of the Prophet (ο·Ί) who has narrated more Hadiths than I except `Abdullah bin `Amr (bin Al-`As) who used to write them and I never did the same.
People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet's narration). Had it not been for two verses in the Qur'an, I would not have narrated a single Hadith, and the verses are: "Verily those who conceal the clear sign and the guidance which We have sent down . . . (up to) Most Merciful." (2:159-160). And no doubt our Muhajir (emigrant) brothers used to be busy in the market with their business (bargains) and our Ansari brothers used toβ¦
I said to Allah's Messenger (ο·Ί) "I hear many narrations (Hadiths) from you but I forget them." Allah's Apostle said, "Spread your Rida' (garment)." I did accordingly and then he moved his hands as if filling them with something (and emptied them in my Rida') and then said, "Take and wrap this sheet over your body." I did it and after that I never forgot any thing. Narrated Ibrahim bin Al-Mundhir: Ibn Abi Fudaik narrated the same as above (Hadith...119)β¦
I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah's Messenger (ο·Ί) . I have propagated one of them to you and if I propagated the second, then my pharynx (throat) would be cut (i.e. killed).
