One-fifth of Booty to the Cause of Allah (Khumus) - كتاب فرض الخمس
Narrated Abu Qatada:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَفْلَحَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَامَ حُنَيْنٍ، فَلَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا كَانَتْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ جَوْلَةٌ، فَرَأَيْتُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ عَلاَ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَاسْتَدَرْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ حَتَّى ضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ عَلَى حَبْلِ عَاتِقِهِ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَىَّ فَضَمَّنِي ضَمَّةً وَجَدْتُ مِنْهَا رِيحَ الْمَوْتِ، ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَأَرْسَلَنِي، فَلَحِقْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُ النَّاسِ قَالَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ رَجَعُوا، وَجَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ ". فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ " مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلاً لَهُ عَلَيْهِ بَيِّنَةٌ فَلَهُ سَلَبُهُ " فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لِي ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ الثَّالِثَةَ مِثْلَهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَسَلَبُهُ عِنْدِي فَأَرْضِهِ عَنِّي. فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ـ رضى الله عنه لاَهَا اللَّهِ إِذًا يَعْمِدُ إِلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِ اللَّهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْطِيكَ سَلَبَهُ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " صَدَقَ ". فَأَعْطَاهُ فَبِعْتُ الدِّرْعَ، فَابْتَعْتُ بِهِ مَخْرِفًا فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ، فَإِنَّهُ لأَوَّلُ مَالٍ تَأَثَّلْتُهُ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ.
We set out in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day (of the battle) of Hunain. When we faced the
enemy, the Muslims retreated and I saw a pagan throwing himself over a Muslim. I turned around and
came upon him from behind and hit him on the shoulder with the sword He (i.e. the pagan) came
towards me and seized me so violently that I felt as if it were death itself, but death overtook him and
he released me. I followed `Umar bin Al Khattab and asked (him), "What is wrong with the people
(fleeing)?" He replied, "This is the Will of Allah," After the people returned, the Prophet (ﷺ) sat and said,
"Anyone who has killed an enemy and has a proof of that, will posses his spoils." I got up and said,
"Who will be a witness for me?" and then sat down. The Prophet (ﷺ) again said, "Anyone who has killed
an enemy and has proof of that, will possess his spoils." I (again) got up and said, "Who will be a
witness for me?" and sat down. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said the same for the third time. I again got up, and
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Qatada! What is your story?" Then I narrated the whole story to him. A
man (got up and) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! He is speaking the truth, and the spoils of the killed man
are with me. So please compensate him on my behalf." On that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said, "No, by
Allah, he (i.e. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ) will not agree to give you the spoils gained by one of Allah's Lions
who fights on the behalf of Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Abu Bakr has spoken the
truth." So, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave the spoils to me. I sold that armor (i.e. the spoils) and with its price I
bought a garden at Bani Salima, and this was my first property which I gained after my conversion to
Islam.
Hakim bin Hizam said, "I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for something, and he gave me. I asked him again,
and he gave me, and said to me. 'O Hakim! This wealth is like green sweet (i.e. fruit), and if one takes
it without greed, then one is blessed in it, and if one takes it with greediness, then one is not blessed in
it, and will be like the one who eats without satisfaction. And an upper (i.e. giving) hand is better than
a lower (i.e. taking) hand,' I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth. I will
not ask anyone for anything after you till I leave this world." So, when Abu Bakr during his Caliphate,
called Hakim to give him (some money), Hakim refused to accept anything from him. Once `Umar
called him (during his Caliphate) in order to give him something, but Hakim refused to accept it,
whereupon `Umar said, "O Muslims! I give him (i.e. Hakim) his right which Allah has assigned to
him) from this Fai '(booty), but he refuses to take it." So Hakim never took anything from anybody
after the Prophet (ﷺ) till he died.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَىَّ اعْتِكَافُ يَوْمٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَفِيَ بِهِ. قَالَ وَأَصَابَ عُمَرُ جَارِيَتَيْنِ مِنْ سَبْىِ حُنَيْنٍ، فَوَضَعَهُمَا فِي بَعْضِ بُيُوتِ مَكَّةَ ـ قَالَ ـ فَمَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى سَبْىِ حُنَيْنٍ، فَجَعَلُوا يَسْعَوْنَ فِي السِّكَكِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، انْظُرْ مَا هَذَا فَقَالَ مَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى السَّبْىِ. قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأَرْسِلِ الْجَارِيَتَيْنِ. قَالَ نَافِعٌ وَلَمْ يَعْتَمِرْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ وَلَوِ اعْتَمَرَ لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ. وَزَادَ جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ. وَرَوَاهُ مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فِي النَّذْرِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ يَوْمَ.
`Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I vowed to observe I`tikaf for one day during the Prelslamic
period." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered him to fulfill his vow. `Umar gained two lady captives from the
war prisoners of Hunain and he left them in some of the houses at Mecca. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) freed
the captives of Hunain without ransom, they came out walking in the streets. `Umar said (to his son),
"O `Abdullah! See what is the matter." `Abdullah replied, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has freed the captives
without ransom." He said (to him), "Go and set free those two slave girls." (Nafi` added:) Allah's
Apostle did not perform the `Umra from Al-Jarana, and if he had performed the `Umra, it would not
have been hidden from `Abdullah.

" إِنِّي أُعْطِي قَوْمًا أَخَافُ ظَلَعَهُمْ وَجَزَعَهُمْ، وَأَكِلُ أَقْوَامًا إِلَى مَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالْغِنَى، مِنْهُمْ عَمْرُو بْنُ تَغْلِبَ ". فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ تَغْلِبَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِكَلِمَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ. وَزَادَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنْ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ تَغْلِبَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُتِيَ بِمَالٍ أَوْ بِسَبْىٍ فَقَسَمَهُ. بِهَذَا.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave (gifts) to some people to the exclusion of some others. The latter seemed to be
displeased by that. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I give to some people, lest they should deviate from True Faith
or lose patience, while I refer other people to the goodness and contentment which Allah has put in
their hearts, and `Amr bin Taghlib is amongst them." `Amr bin Taghlib said, "The statement of Allah's
Apostle is dearer to me than red camels."
Narrated Al-Hasan: `Amr bin Taghlib told us that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got some property or some war
prisoners and he distributed them in the above way (i.e. giving to some people to the exclusion of
others) .

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ نَاسًا، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ أَمْوَالِ هَوَازِنَ مَا أَفَاءَ، فَطَفِقَ يُعْطِي رِجَالاً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْمِائَةَ مِنَ الإِبِلِ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَدَعُنَا، وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِمَقَالَتِهِمْ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الأَنْصَارِ، فَجَمَعَهُمْ فِي قُبَّةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ، وَلَمْ يَدْعُ مَعَهُمْ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُمْ، فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " مَا كَانَ حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكُمْ ". قَالَ لَهُ فُقَهَاؤُهُمْ أَمَّا ذَوُو آرَائِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَقُولُوا شَيْئًا، وَأَمَّا أُنَاسٌ مِنَّا حَدِيثَةٌ أَسْنَانُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْطِي قُرَيْشًا وَيَتْرُكُ الأَنْصَارَ، وَسُيُوفُنَا تَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنِّي أُعْطِي رِجَالاً حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِكُفْرٍ، أَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ النَّاسُ بِالأَمْوَالِ وَتَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى رِحَالِكُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا تَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَنْقَلِبُونَ بِهِ ". قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَضِينَا. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ " إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أُثْرَةً شَدِيدَةً، فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوُا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى الْحَوْضِ ". قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَمْ نَصْبِرْ.
When Allah favored His Apostle with the properties of Hawazin tribe as Fai (booty), he started giving
to some Quarries men even up to one-hundred camels each, whereupon some Ansari men said about
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in
spite of the fact that our swords are still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was
informed of what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent and did not
call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to them and said,
"What is the statement which, I have been informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones
among them replied," O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything, but the
youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives the Quarish and leaves the
Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of Infidelity (i.e. they have
recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go
with fortune, while you return with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to your houses? By Allah, what you will return
with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), we are
satisfied' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then
be patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount in Paradise)." (Anas
added:) But we did not remain patient.

That while he was with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was accompanied by the people on their way back from
Hunain, the bedouins started begging things of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) so much so that they forced him to go
under a Samura tree where his loose outer garment was snatched away. On that, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood
up and said to them, "Return my garment to me. If I had as many camels as these trees, I would have
distributed them amongst you; and you will not find me a miser or a liar or a coward."

While I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) who was wearing a Najrani outer garment with a thick hem, a
bedouin came upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and pulled his garment so violently that I could recognize the impress
of the hem of the garment on his shoulder, caused by the violence of his pull. Then the bedouin said,
"Order for me something from Allah's Fortune which you have." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned to him and
smiled, and ordered that a gift be given to him.

regard. Then a person came and said, "By Allah, in this distribution justice has not been observed, nor
has Allah's Pleasure been aimed at." I said (to him), "By Allah, I will inform the Prophet (of what you

else would act justly. May Allah be merciful to Moses, for he was harmed with more than this, yet he

`Umar bin Al-Khattab expelled all the Jews and Christians from the land of Hijaz. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
after conquering Khaibar, thought of expelling the Jews from the land which, after he conquered it
belonged to Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the Muslims. But the Jews requested Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to leave
them there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits (the land would
yield). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We shall keep you on these terms as long as we wish." Thus they stayed
till the time of `Umar's Caliphate when he expelled them to Taima and Ariha.

One-fifth of Booty to the Cause of Allah (Khumus) - كتاب فرض الخمس
Narrated Ibn Abi `Aufa:
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ أَصَابَتْنَا مَجَاعَةٌ لَيَالِيَ خَيْبَرَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ وَقَعْنَا فِي الْحُمُرِ الأَهْلِيَّةِ، فَانْتَحَرْنَاهَا فَلَمَّا غَلَتِ الْقُدُورُ، نَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم اكْفَئُوا الْقُدُورَ، فَلاَ تَطْعَمُوا مِنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ شَيْئًا. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْنَا إِنَّمَا نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُخَمَّسْ. قَالَ وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ حَرَّمَهَا الْبَتَّةَ. وَسَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ فَقَالَ حَرَّمَهَا الْبَتَّةَ.
We were afflicted with hunger during the besiege of Khaibar, and when it was the day of (the battle
of) Khaibar, we slaughtered the donkeys and when the pots got boiling (with their meat). Allah's
Apostle made an announcement that all the pots should be upset and that nobody should eat anything
of the meat of the donkeys. We thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited that because the Khumus had not
been taken out of the booty (i.e. donkeys); other people said, "He prohibited eating them for ever."
The sub-narrator added, "I asked Sa`id bin Jubair who said, 'He has made the eating of donkeys' meat
illegal for ever.")
I was sitting with Jabir bin Zaid and `Amr bin Aus, and Bjalla was narrating to them in 70 A.H. the
year when Mus`ab bin Az-Zubair was the leader of the pilgrims of Basra. We were sitting at the steps
of Zamzam well and Bajala said, "I was the clerk of Juz bin Muawiya, Al-Ahnaf's paternal uncle. A
letter came from `Umar bin Al-Khattab one year before his death; and it was read:-- "Cancel every
marriage contracted among the Magians between relatives of close kinship (marriages that are
regarded illegal in Islam: a relative of this sort being called Dhu-Mahram.)" `Umar did not take the
Jizya from the Magian infidels till `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf testified that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had taken
the Jizya from the Magians of Hajar.

(who was an ally of Bam `Amr bin Lu'ai and one of those who had taken part in (the Ghazwa of)
Badr): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarreh to Bahrain to collect the Jizya. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
had established peace with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al-`Ala' bin Al-Hadrami as their
governor. When Abu 'Ubaida came from Bahrain with the money, the Ansar heard of Abu 'Ubaida's
arrival which coincided with the time of the morning prayer with the Prophet. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
led them in the morning prayer and finished, the Ansar approached him, and he looked at them and
smiled on seeing them and said, "I feel that you have heard that Abu. 'Ubaida has brought
something?" They said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)' He said, "Rejoice and hope for what will please you!
By Allah, I am not afraid of your poverty but I am afraid that you will lead a life of luxury as past
nations did, whereupon you will compete with each other for it, as they competed for it, and it will
destroy you as it destroyed them."
`Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-Hurmuzan embraced
Islam, `Umar said to him. "I would like to consult you regarding these countries which I intend to
invade." Al-Hurmuzan said, "Yes, the example of these countries and their inhabitants who are the
enemies. of the Muslims, is like a bird with a head, two wings and two legs; If one of its wings got
broken, it would get up over its two legs, with one wing and the head; and if the other wing got
broken, it would get up with two legs and a head, but if its head got destroyed, then the two legs, two
wings and the head would become useless. The head stands for Khosrau, and one wing stands for
Caesar and the other wing stands for Faris. So, order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau." So, `Umar
sent us (to Khosrau) appointing An-Nu`man bin Muqrin as our commander. When we reached the
land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an
interpreter got up saying, "Let one of you talk to me!"
Al-Mughira replied, "Ask whatever you wish." The other asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied,
"We are some people from the Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to suck the
hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made up of fur of camels and hair of
goats, and to worship trees and stones. While we were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the
Earths, Elevated is His Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from among ourselves
a Prophet whose father and mother are known to us. Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has
ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has
informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise
to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become
your master." (Al-Mughira, then blamed An-Nu`man for delaying the attack and) An-Nu' man said to
Al-Mughira, "If you had participated in a similar battle, in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he would
not have blamed you for waiting, nor would he have disgraced you. But I accompanied Allah's
Apostle in many battles and it was his custom that if he did not fight early by daytime, he would wait
till the wind had started blowing and the time for the prayer was due (i.e. after midday).

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) once said to me, "If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and this
much." When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had died, the revenue of Bahrain came, and Abu Bakr announced, " Let
whoever was promised something by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) come to me." So, I went to Abu Bakr and said,
"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, 'If the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and this.
much." On that Abu Bakr said to me, "Scoop (money) with both your hands." I scooped money with
both my hands and Abu Bakr asked me to count it. I counted it and it was five-hundred (gold pieces).
The total amount he gave me was one thousand and five hundred (gold pieces.)
Narrated Anas: Money from Bahrain was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) . He said, "Spread it in the Mosque."
It was the biggest amount that had ever been brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . In the meantime Al-`Abbas
came to him and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Give me, for I gave the ransom of myself and `Aqil." The
Prophet said (to him), "Take." He scooped money with both hands and poured it in his garment and
tried to lift it, but he could not and appealed to the Prophet, "Will you order someone to help me in
lifting it?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No." Then Al-`Abbas said, "Then will you yourself help me carry it?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No." Then Al `Abbas threw away some of the money, but even then he was not
able to lift it, and so he gain requested the Prophet (ﷺ) "Will you order someone to help me carry it?" The
Prophet said, "No." Then Al-`Abbas said, "Then will you yourself yelp me carry it?" The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, 'No." So, Al-`Abbas threw away some more money and lifted it on his shoulder and went away.
The Prophet (ﷺ) kept on looking at him with astonishment at his greediness till he went out of our sight.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not get up from there till not a single Dirham remained from that money.

anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that
the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."
that he heard Ibn `Abbas saying, "Thursday! And you know not what Thursday is? After that Ibn
`Abbas wept till the stones on the ground were soaked with his tears. On that I asked Ibn `Abbas,
"What is (about) Thursday?" He said, "When the condition (i.e. health) of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
deteriorated, he said, 'Bring me a bone of scapula, so that I may write something for you after which
you will never go astray.'The people differed in their opinions although it was improper to differ in
front of a prophet, They said, 'What is wrong with him? Do you think he is delirious? Ask him (to
understand). The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, 'Leave me as I am in a better state than what you are asking me to
do.' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to do three things saying, 'Turn out all the pagans from the
Arabian Peninsula, show respect to all foreign delegates by giving them gifts as I used to do.' " The
sub-narrator added, "The third order was something beneficial which either Ibn `Abbas did not
mention or he mentioned but I forgot.'

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا فُتِحَتْ خَيْبَرُ أُهْدِيَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَاةٌ فِيهَا سُمٌّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " اجْمَعُوا إِلَىَّ مَنْ كَانَ هَا هُنَا مِنْ يَهُودَ ". فَجُمِعُوا لَهُ فَقَالَ " إِنِّي سَائِلُكُمْ عَنْ شَىْءٍ فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ صَادِقِيَّ عَنْهُ ". فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ. قَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ أَبُوكُمْ ". قَالُوا فُلاَنٌ. فَقَالَ " كَذَبْتُمْ، بَلْ أَبُوكُمْ فُلاَنٌ ". قَالُوا صَدَقْتَ. قَالَ " فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ صَادِقِيَّ عَنْ شَىْءٍ إِنْ سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ " فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، وَإِنْ كَذَبْنَا عَرَفْتَ كَذِبَنَا كَمَا عَرَفْتَهُ فِي أَبِينَا. فَقَالَ لَهُمْ " مَنْ أَهْلُ النَّارِ ". قَالُوا نَكُونُ فِيهَا يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ تَخْلُفُونَا فِيهَا. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " اخْسَئُوا فِيهَا، وَاللَّهِ لاَ نَخْلُفُكُمْ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ـ ثُمَّ قَالَ ـ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ صَادِقِيَّ عَنْ شَىْءٍ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ ". فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ. قَالَ " هَلْ جَعَلْتُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الشَّاةِ سُمًّا ". قَالُوا نَعَمْ. قَالَ " مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ". قَالُوا أَرَدْنَا إِنْ كُنْتَ كَاذِبًا نَسْتَرِيحُ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيًّا لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ.
When Khaibar was conquered, a roasted poisoned sheep was presented to the Prophet (ﷺ) as a gift (by
the Jews). The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered, "Let all the Jews who have been here, be assembled before me." The
Jews were collected and the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to them), "I am going to ask you a question. Will you tell
the truth?" They said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Who is your father?" They replied, "So-and-so." He
said, "You have told a lie; your father is so-and-so." They said, "You are right." He said, "Will you
now tell me the truth, if I ask you about something?" They replied, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim; and if we
should tell a lie, you can realize our lie as you have done regarding our father." On that he asked,
"Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They said, "We shall remain in the (Hell) Fire for a short
period, and after that you will replace us." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You may be cursed and humiliated in it!
By Allah, we shall never replace you in it." Then he asked, "Will you now tell me the truth if I ask you
a question?" They said, "Yes, O Abu Al-Qasim." He asked, "Have you poisoned this sheep?" They
said, "Yes." He asked, "What made you do so?" They said, "We wanted to know if you were a liar in
which case we would get rid of you, and if you are a prophet then the poison would not harm you."

Narrated `Asim:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ الْقُنُوتِ. قَالَ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ. فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ فُلاَنًا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ، فَقَالَ كَذَبَ. ثُمَّ حَدَّثَنَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَنَتَ شَهْرًا بَعْدَ الرُّكُوعِ يَدْعُو عَلَى أَحْيَاءٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ ـ قَالَ ـ بَعَثَ أَرْبَعِينَ أَوْ سَبْعِينَ ـ يَشُكُّ فِيهِ ـ مِنَ الْقُرَّاءِ إِلَى أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَعَرَضَ لَهُمْ هَؤُلاَءِ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ، وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَهْدٌ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ وَجَدَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مَا وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِمْ.
I asked Anas about the Qunut (i.e. invocation in the prayer). Anas said, "It should be recited before
bowing." I said, "So-and-so claims that you say that it should be recited after bowing." He replied,
"He is mistaken." Then Anas narrated to us that the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked evil on the tribe of Bani-Sulaim
for one month after bowing. ' Anas Further said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) had sent 40 or 70 Qaris (i.e. men well
versed in the knowledge of the Qur'an) to some pagans, but the latter struggled with them and
martyred them, although there was a peace pact between them and the Prophet (ﷺ) I had never seen the
Prophet so sorry and worried about anybody as he was about them (i.e. the Qaris).
the daughter of Abu Talib: I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day of the conquest of Mecca and found
him taking a bath, and his daughter Fatima was screening him. I greeted him and he asked, "Who is
that?" I said, "I, Um Hani bint Abi Talib." He said, "Welcome, O Um Hani." When he had finished his
bath, he stood up and offered eight rak`at while dressed in one garment. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
My brother `Ali has declared that he will kill a man to whom I have granted asylum. The man is so
and-so bin Hubaira." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Um Hani! We will grant asylum to the one whom you
have granted asylum." (Um Hani said, "That (visit) took place in the Duha (i.e. forenoon)).
`Ali delivered a sermon saying, "We have no book to read except the Book of Allah and what is
written in this paper which contains verdicts regarding (retaliation for) wounds, the ages of the camels
(given as Zakat or as blood money) and the fact that Medina is a sanctuary in between Air mountain to
so-and-so (mountain). So, whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin or gives shelter in it, to
such an innovator will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and none of his
compulsory or optional good deeds of worship will be accepted. And whoever (freed slave) takes as
his master (i.e. befriends) other than his real masters will incur the same (Curse). And the asylum
granted by any Muslim is to be secured by all the other Muslims, and whoever betrays a Muslim in
this respect will incur the same (Curse).
`Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisa bin Mas`ud bin Zaid set out to Khaibar, the inhabitants of which
had a peace treaty with the Muslims at that time. They parted and later on Muhaiyisa came upon
`Abdullah bin Sah! and found him murdered agitating in his blood. He buried him and returned to
Medina. `Abdur Rahman bin Sahl, Muhaiyisa and Huwaiuisa, the sons of Mas`ud came to the Prophet (ﷺ)
and `Abdur Rahman intended to talk, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Let the eldest of you speak." as
`Abdur-Rahman was the youngest:. `Abdur-Rahman kept silent and the other two spoke. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "If you swear as to who has committed the murder, you will have the right to take your right
from the murderer." They said, "How should we swear if we did not witness the murder or see the
murderer?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then the Jews can clear themselves from the charge by taking Alaska
(an oath taken by men that it was not they who committed the murder)." The!y said, "How should we
believe in the oaths of infidels?" So, the Prophet (ﷺ) himself paid the blood money (of `Abdullah). (See
Hadith No. 36 Vol. 9.)
That Abu Sufyan bin Harb Informed him that Heraclius called him and the members of a caravan
from Quraish who had gone to Sham as traders, during the truce which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had concluded
with Abu Sufyan and the Quraish infidels.
I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Ghazwa of Tabuk while he was sitting in a leather tent. He said,
"Count six signs that indicate the approach of the Hour: my death, the conquest of Jerusalem, a plague
that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as the plague that afflicts sheep, the increase of
wealth to such an extent that even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satisfied; then an
affliction which no Arab house will escape, and then a truce between you and Bani Al-Asfar (i.e. the
Byzantines) who will betray you and attack you under eighty flags. Under each flag will be twelve
thousand soldiers.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ بَعَثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ فِيمَنْ يُؤَذِّنُ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ بِمِنًى لاَ يَحُجُّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِكٌ، وَلاَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ. وَيَوْمُ الْحَجِّ الأَكْبَرِ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ، وَإِنَّمَا قِيلَ الأَكْبَرُ مِنْ أَجْلِ قَوْلِ النَّاسِ الْحَجُّ الأَصْغَرُ. فَنَبَذَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى النَّاسِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ، فَلَمْ يَحُجَّ عَامَ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ الَّذِي حَجَّ فِيهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُشْرِكٌ.
Abu Bakr, on the day of Nahr (i.e. slaughtering of animals for sacrifice), sent me in the company of
others to make this announcement: "After this year, no pagan will be allowed to perform the Hajj, and
none will be allowed to perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba undressed." And the day of Al-Hajj-ul-Akbar
is the day of Nahr, and it called Al-Akbar because the people call the `Umra Al-Hajj-ul-Asghar (i.e.
the minor Hajj). Abu Bakr threw back the pagans' covenant that year, and therefore, no pagan
performed the Hajj in the year of Hajj-ul-Wada` of the Prophets.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever has (the following) four characteristics will be a pure hypocrite: "If he
speaks, he tells a lie; if he gives a promise, he breaks it, if he makes a covenant he proves treacherous;
and if he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent evil insulting manner (unjust). And whoever has
one of these characteristics, has one characteristic of a hypocrite, unless he gives it us."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ مَا كَتَبْنَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ الْقُرْآنَ، وَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَامٌ مَا بَيْنَ عَائِرٍ إِلَى كَذَا، فَمَنْ أَحْدَثَ حَدَثًا، أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا، فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ عَدْلٌ وَلاَ صَرْفٌ، وَذِمَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ يَسْعَى بِهَا أَدْنَاهُمْ. فَمَنْ أَخْفَرَ مُسْلِمًا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلاَ عَدْلٌ، وَمَنْ وَالَى قَوْمًا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلاَ عَدْلٌ ".
We did not, write anything from the Prophet (ﷺ) except the Qur'an and what is written in this paper,
(wherein) the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Medina is a sanctuary from (the mountain of) Air to so and-so, therefore,
whoever innovates (in it) an heresy or commits a sin, or gives shelter to such an innovator, will incur
the Curse of Allah. the angels and all the people; and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds
of worship will be accepted And the asylum granted by any Muslim Is to be secured by all the
Muslims even if it is granted by one of the lowest social status among them. And whoever betrays a
Muslim in this respect will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compulsory
and optional good deeds of worship will not be accepted. And any freed slave will take as masters
(befriends) people other than his own real masters who freed him without taking the permission of the
latter, will incur the Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compulsory and optional
good deeds of worship will not be accepted."
Abu Huraira once said (to the people), "What will your state be when you can get no
Dinar or Dirhan (i.e. taxes from the Dhimmis)?" on that someone asked him, "What makes you know
that this state will take place, O Abu- Hu raira?" He said, "By Him in Whose Hands Abu Huraira's life
is, I know it through the statement of the true and truly inspired one (i.e. the Prophet)." The people
asked, "What does the Statement say?" He replied, "Allah and His Apostle's asylum granted to
Dhimmis, i.e. non-Muslims living in a Muslim territory) will be outraged, and so Allah will make the
hearts of these Dhimmis so daring that they will refuse to pay the Jizya they will be supposed to pay."
I asked Abu Wail, "Did you take part in the battle of Siffin?" He said, 'Yes, and I heard Sahl bin
Hunaif (when he was blamed for lack of zeal for fighting) saying, "You'd better blame your wrong
opinions. I wish you had seen me on the day of Abu Jandal. If I had the courage to disobey the
Prophet's orders, I would have done so. We had kept out swords on our necks and shoulders, for a
thing which frightened us. And we did so, we found it easier for us, except in the case of the above
battle (of ours).' "
We were in Siffin and Sahl bin Hunaif got up and said, "O people! Blame yourselves! We were with
the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of Hudaibiya, and if we had been called to fight, we would have fought. But
`Umar bin Al Khatab came and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Aren't we in the right and our opponents in
the wrongs' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Yes.' `Umar said, 'Aren't our killed persons in Paradise and their's in
Hell?' He said, 'Yes.' `Umar said, 'Then why should we accept hard terms in matters concerning our
religion? Shall we return before Allah judges between us and them?' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'O Ibn Al-
Khattab! I am the Messenger of Allah and Allah will never degrade me. Then `Umar went to Abu Bakr
and told him the same as he had told the Prophet.
On that Abu Bakr said (to `Umar). 'He is the Messenger of Allah and Allah will never degrade him.' Then
Surat-al-Fath (i.e. Victory) was revealed and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited it to the end in front of `Umar.
On that `Umar asked, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Was it (i.e. the Hudaibiya Treaty) a victory?' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "Yes".

Narrated Asma 'bint Abi Bakr:
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ ابْنَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَتْ قَدِمَتْ عَلَىَّ أُمِّي وَهْىَ مُشْرِكَةٌ فِي عَهْدِ قُرَيْشٍ، إِذْ عَاهَدُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمُدَّتِهِمْ، مَعَ أَبِيهَا، فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ أُمِّي قَدِمَتْ عَلَىَّ، وَهْىَ رَاغِبَةٌ، أَفَأَصِلُهَا قَالَ
" نَعَمْ، صِلِيهَا ".
During the period of the peace treaty of Quraish with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), my mother, accompanied by her
father, came to visit me, and she was a pagan. I consulted Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My
mother has come to me and she desires to receive a reward from me, shall I keep good relation with
her?" He said, "Yes, keep good relation with her."
When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to perform the `Umra he sent a person to the people of Mecca asking their
permission to enter Mecca. They stipulated that he would not stay for more than three days and would
not enter it except with sheathed arms and would not preach (Islam) to any of them. So `Ali bin Abi-
Talib started writing the treaty between them. He wrote, "This is what Muhammad, Apostle of Allah
has agreed to." The (Meccans) said, "If we knew that you (Muhammad) are the Messenger of Allah, then
we would not have prevented you and would have followed you. But write, 'This is what Muhammad
bin `Abdullah has agreed to..' " On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I am Muhammad bin
`Abdullah, and, by Allah, I am Apostle of 'Allah." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used not to write; so he asked `Ali
to erase the expression of Apostle of Allah. On that `Ali said, "By Allah I will never erase it." Allah's
Apostle said (to `Ali), "Let me see the paper." When `Ali showed him the paper, the Prophet (ﷺ) erased
the expression with his own hand. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had entered Mecca and three days had
elapsed, the Meccans came to `Ali and said, "Let your friend (i.e. the Prophet) quit Mecca." `Ali
informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Yes," and then he departed.

" اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ الْمَلأَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ، وَعُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَشَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ، وَعُقْبَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ، وَأُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ ـ أَوْ أُبَىَّ بْنَ خَلَفٍ ". فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُمْ قُتِلُوا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، فَأُلْقُوا فِي بِئْرٍ، غَيْرَ أُمَيَّةَ أَوْ أُبَىٍّ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلاً ضَخْمًا، فَلَمَّا جَرُّوهُ تَقَطَّعَتْ أَوْصَالُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُلْقَى فِي الْبِئْرِ.
While the Prophet (ﷺ) was in the state of prostration, surrounded by a group of people from Quraish
pagans. `Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait came and brought the intestines of a camel and threw them on the back
of the Prophet (ﷺ) . The Prophet (ﷺ) did not raise his head from prostration till Fatima (i.e. his daughter) came
and removed those intestines from his back, and invoked evil on whoever had done (the evil deed).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, O Allah! Destroy Abu Jahl bin Hisham,
`Utba bin Rabi`a, Shaiba bin Rabi`a, `Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait, Umaiya bin Khalaf (or Ubai bin Kalaf)."
Later on I saw all of them killed during the battle of Badr and their bodies were thrown into a well
except the body of Umaiya or Ubai, because he was a fat person, and when he was pulled, the parts of
his body got separated before he was thrown into the well.

Jihad (i.e.. holy battle) and good intentions. And when you are called for Jihad, you should come out
at once" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also said, on the day of the conquest of Mecca, "Allah has made this town a
sanctuary since the day He created the Heavens and the Earth. So, it is a sanctuary by Allah's Decree
till the Day of Resurrection. Fighting in it was not legal for anyone before me, and it was made legal
for me only for an hour by daytime. So, it (i.e. Mecca) is a sanctuary by Allah's Decree till the Day of
Resurrection. Its thorny bushes should not be cut, and its game should not be chased, its fallen
property (i.e. Luqata) should not be picked up except by one who will announce it publicly; and its
grass should not be uprooted," On that Al-`Abbas said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Except the Idhkhir,
because it is used by the goldsmiths and by the people for their houses." On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Except the Idhkhir."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ جَاءَ نَفَرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " يَا بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، أَبْشِرُوا ". قَالُوا بَشَّرْتَنَا فَأَعْطِنَا. فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ، فَجَاءَهُ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ " يَا أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ، اقْبَلُوا الْبُشْرَى إِذْ لَمْ يَقْبَلْهَا بَنُو تَمِيمٍ ". قَالُوا قَبِلْنَا. فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحَدِّثُ بَدْءَ الْخَلْقِ وَالْعَرْشِ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا عِمْرَانُ، رَاحِلَتُكَ تَفَلَّتَتْ، لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَقُمْ.
Some people of Bani Tamim came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said (to them), "O Bani Tamim! rejoice with
glad tidings." They said, "You have given us glad tidings, now give us something." On hearing that
the color of his face changed then the people of Yemen came to him and he said, "O people of Yemen
! Accept the good tidings, as Bani Tamim has refused them." The Yemenites said, "We accept them.
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) started taking about the beginning of creation and about Allah's Throne. In the mean
time a man came saying, "O `Imran! Your she-camel has run away!'' (I got up and went away), but l
wish I had not left that place (for I missed what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had said).
I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and tied my she-camel at the gate. The people of Bani Tamim came to the Prophet (ﷺ) who said "O Bani Tamim! Accept the good tidings." They said twice, 'You have given us the good tidings, now give us something" Then some Yemenites came to him and he said, "Accept the good tidings, O people of Yemem, for Bani Tamim refused them." They said, "We accept it, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We have come to ask you about this matter (i.e. the start of creations)." He said, "First of all, there was nothing but Allah, and (then He created His Throne). His throne was over the water, and He wrote everything in the Book (in the Heaven) and created the Heavens and the Earth." Then a man shouted, "O Ibn Husain! Your she-camel has gone away!" So, I went away and could not see the she-camel because of the mirage. By Allah, I wished I had left that she-camel (but not that gathering).

One day the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up amongst us for a long period and informed us about the beginning of creation (and talked about everything in detail) till he mentioned how the people of Paradise will enter their places and the people of Hell will enter their places. Some remembered what he had said, and some forgot it.

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُرَاهُ

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah the Most Superior said, "The son of Adam slights Me, and he should not
slight Me, and he disbelieves in Me, and he ought not to do so. As for his slighting Me, it is that he
says that I have a son; and his disbelief in Me is his statement that I shall not recreate him as I have
created (him) before."
from Abu Salama bin `Abdur-Rahman who had a dispute with some people on a piece of land, and so
he went to `Aisha and told her about it. She said, "O Abu Salama, avoid the land, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, 'Any person who takes even a span of land unjustly, his neck shall be encircled with it down
seven earths.' "

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" الزَّمَانُ قَدِ اسْتَدَارَ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ، السَّنَةُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ، ثَلاَثَةٌ مُتَوَالِيَاتٌ ذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ وَالْمُحَرَّمُ، وَرَجَبُ مُضَرَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ جُمَادَى وَشَعْبَانَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said. "(The division of time has turned to its original form which was current when Allah
created the Heavens and the Earths. The year is of twelve months, out of which four months are
sacred: Three are in succession Dhul-Qa' da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth is) Rajab of
(the tribe of) Mudar which comes between Jumadi-ath-Thaniyah and Sha ban."
That Arwa sued him before Marwan for a right, which she claimed, he had deprived her of. On that
Sa`id said, "How should I deprive her of her right? I testify that I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'If
anyone takes a span of land unjustly, his neck will be encircled with it down seven earths on the Day
of Resurrection."
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked me at sunset, "Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?" I replied,
"Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath
the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will come when)
it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to
go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so
it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: "And the sun Runs its
fixed course For a term (decreed). that is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All-
Knowing." (36.38)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's death or life (i.e.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah. They do not
eclipse because of someone's death or life. So, if you see them (i.e. eclipse), celebrate the Praises of
Allah (i.e. pray).
On the day of a solar eclipse, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up (to offer the eclipse prayer). He recited Takbir,
recited a long recitation (of Holy Verses), bowed a long bowing, and then he raised h is head saying.
"Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him." Then he stayed standing, recited a long recitation
again, but shorter than the former, bowed a long bowing, but shorter than the first, performed a long
prostration and then performed the second rak`a in the same way as he had done the first. By the time
he had finished his prayer with Taslim, the solar eclipse had been over. Then he addressed the people
referring to the solar and lunar eclipses saying, "These are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah, and
they do not eclipse because of anyone's death or life. So, if you see them, hasten for the Prayer."

Narrated Ata:
حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا رَأَى مَخِيلَةً فِي السَّمَاءِ أَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ وَدَخَلَ وَخَرَجَ وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ، فَإِذَا أَمْطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، فَعَرَّفَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا أَدْرِي لَعَلَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ قَوْمٌ {فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ عَارِضًا مُسْتَقْبِلَ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ} ". الآيَةَ.
`Aisha said If the Prophet (ﷺ) saw a cloud In the sky, he would walk to and fro in agitation, go out and
come in, and the color of his face would change, and if it rained, he would feel relaxed." So `Aisha
knew that state of his. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said, I don't know (am afraid), it may be similar to what
happened to some people referred to in the Holy Qur'an in the following Verse: -- "Then when they
saw it as a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they said, 'This is a cloud bringing us rain!' Nay,
but, it is that (torment) which you were asking to be hastened a wind wherein is severe torment."
(46.24)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "While I was at the House in a state midway between sleep and wakefulness, (an
angel recognized me) as the man lying between two men. A golden tray full of wisdom and belief was
brought to me and my body was cut open from the throat to the lower part of the `Abdomen and then
my `Abdomen was washed with Zamzam water and (my heart was) filled with wisdom and belief. Al-
Buraq, a white animal, smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me and I set out
with Gabriel. When I reached the nearest heaven. Gabriel said to the heaven gate-keeper, 'Open the
gate.' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' He said, 'Gabriel.' The gate-keeper,' Who is accompanying
you?' Gabriel said, 'Muhammad.' The gate-keeper said, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel said, 'Yes.' Then
it was said, 'He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!' Then I met Adam and greeted him and he
said, 'You are welcomed O son and a Prophet.' Then we ascended to the second heaven. It was asked,
'Who is it?' Gabriel said, 'Gabriel.' It was said, 'Who is with you?' He said, 'Muhammad' It was asked,
'Has he been sent for?' He said, 'Yes.' It was said, 'He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!"
Then I met Jesus and Yahya (John) who said, 'You are welcomed, O brother and a Prophet.' Then we
ascended to the third heaven. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel said, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is
with you? Gabriel said, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been sent for?' 'Yes,' said Gabriel. 'He is
welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!' (The Prophet (ﷺ) added:). There I met Joseph and greeted him,
and he replied, 'You are welcomed, O brother and a Prophet!' Then we ascended to the 4th heaven and
again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met Idris
and greeted him. He said, 'You are welcomed O brother and Prophet.' Then we ascended to the 5th
heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in previous heavens. there I met
and greeted Aaron who said, 'You are welcomed O brother and a Prophet".
Then we ascended to the 6th heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in
the previous heavens. There I met and greeted Moses who said, 'You are welcomed O brother and. a
Prophet.' When I proceeded on, he started weeping and on being asked why he was weeping, he said,
'O Lord! Followers of this youth who was sent after me will enter Paradise in greater number than my
followers.' Then we ascended to the seventh heaven and again the same questions and answers were
exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met and greeted Abraham who said, 'You are
welcomed o son and a Prophet.' Then I was shown Al-Bait-al-Ma'mur (i.e. Allah's House). I asked
Gabriel about it and he said, This is Al Bait-ul-Ma'mur where 70,000 angels perform prayers daily and
when they leave they never return to it (but always a fresh batch comes into it daily).'
Then I was shown Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. a tree in the seventh heaven) and I saw its Nabk fruits
which resembled the clay jugs of Hajr (i.e. a town in Arabia), and its leaves were like the ears of
elephants, and four rivers originated at its root, two of them were apparent and two were hidden. I
asked Gabriel about those rivers and he said, 'The two hidden rivers are in Paradise, and the apparent
ones are the Nile and the Euphrates.'
Then fifty prayers were enjoined on me. I descended till I met Moses who asked me, 'What have you
done?' I said, 'Fifty prayers have been enjoined on me.' He said, 'I know the people better than you,
because I had the hardest experience to bring Bani Israel to obedience. Your followers cannot put up
with such obligation. So, return to your Lord and request Him (to reduce the number of prayers.' I
returned and requested Allah (for reduction) and He made it forty. I returned and (met Moses) and had
a similar discussion, and then returned again to Allah for reduction and He made it thirty, then twenty,
then ten, and then I came to Moses who repeated the same advice. Ultimately Allah reduced it to five.
When I came to Moses again, he said, 'What have you done?' I said, 'Allah has made it five only.' He
repeated the same advice but I said that I surrendered (to Allah's Final Order)'" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was
addressed by Allah, "I have decreed My Obligation and have reduced the burden on My slaves, and I
shall reward a single good deed as if it were ten good deeds."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the true and truly inspired said, "(The matter of the Creation of) a human being is put
together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a
similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered
to write four things. He is ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature's) deeds, his livelihood, his
(date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or wretched (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into
him. So, a man amongst you may do (good deeds till there is only a cubit between him and Paradise
and then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds
characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire. And similarly a man amongst you may do (evil) deeds
till there is only a cubit between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been written for him
decides his behavior, and he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying, 'Allah loves so and-so; O Gabriel!
Love him.' Gabriel would love him and make an announcement amongst the inhabitants of the
Heaven. 'Allah loves so-and-so, therefore you should love him also,' and so all the inhabitants of the
Heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth."

`Umar came to the Mosque while Hassan was reciting a poem. (`Umar disapproved of that). On that
Hassan said, "I used to recite poetry in this very Mosque in the presence of one (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ) who
was better than you." Then he turned towards Abu Huraira and said (to him), "I ask you by Allah, did

حَدَّثَنَا فَرْوَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ الْحَارِثَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَيْفَ يَأْتِيكَ الْوَحْىُ قَالَ
" كُلُّ ذَاكَ يَأْتِي الْمَلَكُ أَحْيَانًا فِي مِثْلِ صَلْصَلَةِ الْجَرَسِ، فَيَفْصِمُ عَنِّي وَقَدْ وَعَيْتُ مَا قَالَ، وَهْوَ أَشَدُّهُ عَلَىَّ، وَيَتَمَثَّلُ لِي الْمَلَكُ أَحْيَانًا رَجُلاً، فَيُكَلِّمُنِي فَأَعِي مَا يَقُولُ ".
Al Harith bin Hisham asked the Prophet, "How does the divine inspiration come to you?" He replied,
"In all these ways: The Angel sometimes comes to me with a voice which resembles the sound of a
ringing bell, and when this state abandons me, I remember what the Angel has said, and this type of
Divine Inspiration is the hardest on me; and sometimes the Angel comes to me in the shape of a man
and talks to me, and I understand and remember what he says."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Gabriel, "Why don't you visit us more often than you do?" Then the following

Lord was never forgetful." (19.64)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was the most generous of all the people, and he used to be more generous in the
month of Ramadan when Gabriel used to meet him. Gabriel used to meet him every night in Ramadan
to study the Holy Qur'an carefully together. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to become more generous than the
fast wind when he met Gabriel.
Once `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz delayed the `Asr prayer a little. `Urwa said to him, "Gabriel descended
and led the prayer in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) " On that `Umar said, "O `Urwa! Be sure of what you say."
"Urwa, "I heard Bashir bin Abi Masud narrating from Ibn Masud who heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying,
'Gabriel descended and led me in prayer; and then prayed with him again, and then prayed with him
again, and then prayed with him again, and then prayed with him again, counting with his fingers five
prayers."

" الْمَلاَئِكَةُ يَتَعَاقَبُونَ، مَلاَئِكَةٌ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَلاَئِكَةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ، وَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ، ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِينَ بَاتُوا فِيكُمْ، فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ وَهْوَ أَعْلَمُ، فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ تَرَكْتُمْ {عِبَادِي} فَيَقُولُونَ تَرَكْنَاهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ، وَأَتَيْنَاهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Angels keep on descending from and ascending to the Heaven in turn, some at
night and some by daytime, and all of them assemble together at the time of the Fajr and `Asr prayers.
Then those who have stayed with you over-night, ascent unto Allah Who asks them, and He knows
the answer better than they, "How have you left My slaves?" They reply, "We have left them praying
as we found them praying." If anyone of you says "Amin" (during the Prayer at the end of the
recitation of Surat-al-Faitiha), and the angels in Heaven say the same, and the two sayings coincide,
all his past sins will be forgiven."
I stuffed for the Prophet (ﷺ) a pillow decorated with pictures (of animals) which looked like a Namruqa
(i.e. a small cushion). He came and stood between the two doors and his face began to change. I
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What did we do wrong?" He said, "What is this pillow?" I said, "I have prepared this
pillow for you, so that you may recline on it." He said, "Don't you know that angels do not enter a
house wherein there are pictures; and whoever makes a picture will be punished on the Day of
Resurrection and will be asked to give life to (what he has created)?"

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting the following Verse on the pulpit: "They will call: O Malik...' and Sufyan
said that `Abdullah recited it: 'They will call: O Mali...' (43.77)
That she asked the Prophet (ﷺ) , 'Have you encountered a day harder than the day of the battle) of Uhud?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Your tribes have troubled me a lot, and the worse trouble was the trouble on the
day of 'Aqaba when I presented myself to Ibn `Abd-Yalail bin `Abd-Kulal and he did not respond to
my demand. So I departed, overwhelmed with excessive sorrow, and proceeded on, and could not
relax till I found myself at Qarnath-Tha-alib where I lifted my head towards the sky to see a cloud
shading me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw Gabriel in it. He called me saying, 'Allah has heard
your people's saying to you, and what they have replied back to you, Allah has sent the Angel of the
Mountains to you so that you may order him to do whatever you wish to these people.' The Angel of
the Mountains called and greeted me, and then said, "O Muhammad! Order what you wish. If you
like, I will let Al-Akh-Shabain (i.e. two mountains) fall on them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No but I hope
that Allah will let them beget children who will worship Allah Alone, and will worship None besides
Him."
I asked Zir bin Hubaish regarding the Statement of Allah: "And was at a distance Of but two bowlengths
Or (even) nearer; So did (Allah) convey The Inspiration to His slave (Gabriel) and then he
(Gabriel) Conveyed (that to Muhammad). (53.9-10) On that, Zir said, "Ibn Mas`ud informed us that
the Prophet (ﷺ) had seen Gabriel having 600 wings."
Regarding the Verse: "Indeed he (Muhammad) did see. Of the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!"
(53.18) That the Prophet (ﷺ) had seen a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the sky.
Whoever claimed that (the Prophet) Muhammad saw his Lord, is committing a great fault, for he only
saw Gabriel in his genuine shape in which he was created covering the whole horizon.
I asked Aisha "What about His Statement:-- "Then he (Gabriel) approached And came closer, And
was at a distance Of but two bow-lengths Or (even) nearer?" (53.8-9) She replied, "It was Gabriel who
used to come to the Prophet (ﷺ) in the figure of a man, but on that occasion, he came in his actual and real
figure and (he was so huge) that he covered the whole horizon."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ،. وَقَالَ لِي خَلِيفَةُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَمِّ، نَبِيِّكُمْ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " رَأَيْتُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي مُوسَى رَجُلاً آدَمَ طُوَالاً جَعْدًا، كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ شَنُوءَةَ، وَرَأَيْتُ عِيسَى رَجُلاً مَرْبُوعًا مَرْبُوعَ الْخَلْقِ إِلَى الْحُمْرَةِ وَالْبَيَاضِ، سَبْطَ الرَّأْسِ، وَرَأَيْتُ مَالِكًا خَازِنَ النَّارِ ". وَالدَّجَّالَ فِي آيَاتٍ أَرَاهُنَّ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ، فَلاَ تَكُنْ فِي مِرْيَةٍ مِنْ لِقَائِهِ. قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَحْرُسُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ الْمَدِينَةَ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the night of my Ascent to the Heaven, I saw Moses who was a tall brown curlyhaired
man as if he was one of the men of Shan'awa tribe, and I saw Jesus, a man of medium height
and moderate complexion inclined to the red and white colors and of lank hair. I also saw Malik, the
gate-keeper of the (Hell) Fire and Ad-Dajjal amongst the signs which Allah showed me." (The
Prophet then recited the Holy Verse): "So be not you in doubt of meeting him' when you met Moses
during the night of Mi'raj over the heavens" (32.23)
Narrated Anas and Abu Bakra: "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The angels will guard Medina from Ad-Dajjal
(who will not be able to enter the city of Medina).

" بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ، فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ تَتَوَضَّأُ إِلَى جَانِبِ قَصْرٍ، فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ فَقَالُوا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَذَكَرْتُ غَيْرَتَهُ، فَوَلَّيْتُ مُدْبِرًا ". فَبَكَى عُمَرُ وَقَالَ أَعَلَيْكَ أَغَارُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ.
While we were in the company of the Prophet, he said, "While I was asleep, I saw myself in Paradise
and there I beheld a woman making ablution beside a palace, I asked, To whom does this palace
belong? 'They said, To `Umar bin Al-Khattab.' Then I remembered `Umar's Ghaira (concerning
women), and so I quickly went away from that palace." (When `Umar heard this from the Prophet), he
wept and said, "Do you think it is likely that I feel Ghaira because of you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A tent (in Paradise) is like a hollow pearl which is thirty miles in height and on
every corner of the tent the believer will have a family that cannot be seen by the others." (Narrated
Abu `Imran in another narration, "The tent is sixty miles in height.")

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, "I have prepared for My Pious slaves things which have never been
seen by an eye, or heard by an ear, or imagined by a human being." If you wish, you can recite this
Verse from the Holy Qur'an:--"No soul knows what is kept hidden for them, of joy as a reward for
what they used to do." (32.17)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The first group (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like the
moon when it is full. They will not spit or blow their noses or relieve nature. Their utensils will be of
gold and their combs of gold and silver; in their centers the aloe wood will be used, and their sweat
will smell like musk. Everyone of them will have two wives; the marrow of the bones of the wives'
legs will be seen through the flesh out of excessive beauty. They ( i.e. the people of Paradise) will
neither have differences nor hatred amongst themselves; their hearts will be as if one heart and they
will be glorifying Allah in the morning and in the evening."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The first batch (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like a full

shall have two wives, each of whom will be so beautiful, pure and transparent that the marrow of the

evening, and will never fall ill, and they will neither blow their noses, nor spit. Their utensils will be
of gold and silver, and their combs will be of gold, and the fuel used in their centers will be the aloeswood,

rebellion), nor will I say to a man who is my ruler that he is the best of all the people after I have
heard something from Allah s Apostle ." They said, What have you heard him saying? He said, "I
have heard him saying, "A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in the (Hell)
Fire, so that his intestines will come out, and he will go around like a donkey goes around a millstone.
The people of (Hell) Fire will gather around him and say: O so-and-so! What is wrong with you?
Didn't you use to order us to do good deeds and forbid us to do bad deeds? He will reply: Yes, I used
to order you to do good deeds, but I did not do them myself, and I used to forbid you to do bad deeds,

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ سُحِرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم. وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ كَتَبَ إِلَىَّ هِشَامٌ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ وَوَعَاهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ سُحِرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى كَانَ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَفْعَلُ الشَّىْءَ وَمَا يَفْعَلُهُ، حَتَّى كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ دَعَا وَدَعَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ " أَشَعَرْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَفْتَانِي فِيمَا فِيهِ شِفَائِي أَتَانِي رَجُلاَنِ، فَقَعَدَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَالآخَرُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَىَّ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِلآخَرِ مَا وَجَعُ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ مَطْبُوبٌ. قَالَ وَمَنْ طَبَّهُ قَالَ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الأَعْصَمِ. قَالَ فِي مَاذَا قَالَ فِي مُشُطٍ وَمُشَاقَةٍ وَجُفِّ طَلْعَةٍ ذَكَرٍ. قَالَ فَأَيْنَ هُوَ قَالَ فِي بِئْرِ ذَرْوَانَ ". فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ لِعَائِشَةَ حِينَ رَجَعَ " نَخْلُهَا كَأَنَّهَا رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ ". فَقُلْتُ اسْتَخْرَجْتَهُ فَقَالَ " لاَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ شَفَانِي اللَّهُ، وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يُثِيرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ شَرًّا، ثُمَّ دُفِنَتِ الْبِئْرُ ".
Magic was worked on the Prophet (ﷺ) so that he began to fancy that he was doing a thing which he was
not actually doing. One day he invoked (Allah) for a long period and then said, "I feel that Allah has
inspired me as how to cure myself. Two persons came to me (in my dream) and sat, one by my head
and the other by my feet. One of them asked the other, "What is the ailment of this man?" The other
replied, 'He has been bewitched" The first asked, 'Who has bewitched him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid
bin Al-A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What material has he used?' The other replied, 'A comb, the hair
gathered on it, and the outer skin of the pollen of the male date-palm.' The first asked, 'Where is that?'
The other replied, 'It is in the well of Dharwan.' " So, the Prophet (ﷺ) went out towards the well and then
returned and said to me on his return, "Its date-palms (the date-palms near the well) are like the heads
of the devils." I asked, "Did you take out those things with which the magic was worked?" He said,
"No, for I have been cured by Allah and I am afraid that this action may spread evil amongst the
people." Later on the well was filled up with earth.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "During your sleep, Satan knots three knots at the back of the head of each of
you, and he breathes the following words at each knot, 'The night is, long, so keep on sleeping,' If that
person wakes up and celebrates the praises of Allah, then one knot is undone, and when he performs
ablution the second knot is undone, and when he prays, all the knots are undone, and he gets up in the
morning lively and in good spirits, otherwise he gets up in low spirits and lethargic."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا طَلَعَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَدَعُوا الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى تَبْرُزَ، وَإِذَا غَابَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَدَعُوا الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ ". " وَلاَ تَحَيَّنُوا بِصَلاَتِكُمْ طُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ وَلاَ غُرُوبَهَا، فَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَىْ شَيْطَانٍ ". أَوِ الشَّيْطَانِ. لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ هِشَامٌ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When the (upper) edge of the sun appears (in the morning), don't perform a
prayer till the sun appears in full, and when the lower edge of the sun sets, don't perform a prayer till it
sets completely. And you should not seek to pray at sunrise or sunset for the sun rises between two
sides of the head of the devil (or Satan).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If while you are praying, somebody intends to pass in front of you, prevent him; and should he insist, prevent him again; and if he insists again, fight with him (i.e. prevent him violently e.g. pushing him violently), because such a person is (like) a devil."

Abu Huraira said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) put me in charge of the Zakat of Ramadan (i.e. Zakat-ul-Fitr). Someone came to me and started scooping some of the foodstuff of (Zakat) with both hands. I caught him and told him that I would take him to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Then Abu Huraira told the whole narration and added "He (i.e. the thief) said, 'Whenever you go to your bed, recite the Verse of "Al-Kursi" (2.255) for then a guardian from Allah will be guarding you, and Satan will not approach you till dawn.' "On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He told you the truth, though he is a liar, and he (the thief) himself was a satan."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Satan comes to one of you and says, 'Who created so-and-so? 'till he says, 'Who

While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in I`tikaf, I called on him at night and having had a talk with him, I got up
to depart. He got up also to accompany me to my dwelling place, which was then in the house of
Usama bin Zaid. Two Ansari men passed by, and when they saw the Prophet (ﷺ) they hastened away. The
Prophet said (to them). "Don't hurry! It is Safiya, the daughter of Huyay (i.e. my wife)." They said,
"Glorified be Allah! O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (How dare we suspect you?)" He said, "Satan circulates in the

something) into your hearts."

While I was sitting in the company of the Prophet, two men abused each other and the face of one of
them became red with anger, and his jugular veins swelled (i.e. he became furious). On that the
Prophet said, "I know a word, the saying of which will cause him to relax, if he does say it. If he says:
'I seek Refuge with Allah from Satan.' then all is anger will go away." Some body said to him, "The
Prophet has said, 'Seek refuge with Allah from Satan."' The angry man said, "Am I mad?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you, on having sexual relation with his wife, says: 'O Allah! Protect
me from Satan, and prevent Satan from approaching the offspring you are going to give me,' and if it

pronounced, he again takes to his heels, and after its completion, he returns again to interfere between
the (praying) person and his heart, saying to him. 'Remember this or that thing.' till the person forgets
whether he has offered three or four rak`at: so if one forgets whether he has prayed three or four rak`at,

Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" التَّثَاؤُبُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا تَثَاءَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَرُدَّهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَالَ هَا. ضَحِكَ الشَّيْطَانُ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning
as much as possible, for if anyone of you (during the act of yawning) should say: 'Ha', Satan will
laugh at him."
On the day (of the battle) of Uhud when the pagans were defeated, Satan shouted, "O slaves of Allah!
Beware of the forces at your back," and on that the Muslims of the front files fought with the Muslims
of the back files (thinking they were pagans). Hudhaifa looked back to see his father "Al-Yaman,"
(being attacked by the Muslims). He shouted, "O Allah's Slaves! My father! My father!" By Allah,
they did not stop till they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you." `Urwa said that
Hudhaifa continued to do good (invoking Allah to forgive the killer of his father till he met Allah (i.e.
died).
as below.
Narrated Abu Qatada:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A good dream is from Allah, and a bad or evil dream is from Satan; so if anyone of
you has a bad dream of which he gets afraid, he should spit on his left side and should seek Refuge
with Allah from its evil, for then it will not harm him."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If one says one-hundred times in one day: "None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah, the Alone Who has no partners, to Him belongs Dominion and to Him belong all the
Praises, and He has power over all things (i.e. Omnipotent)", one will get the reward of manumitting
ten slaves, and one-hundred good deeds will be written in his account, and one-hundred bad deeds will
be wiped off or erased from his account, and on that day he will be protected from the morning till
evening from Satan, and nobody will be superior to him except one who has done more than that
which he has done."

Once `Umar asked the leave to see Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in whose company there were some Quraishi
women who were talking to him and asking him for more financial support raising their voices. When
`Umar asked permission to enter the women got up (quickly) hurrying to screen themselves. When
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) admitted `Umar, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was smiling, `Umar asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! May
Allah keep you in happiness always." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I am astonished at these women who were with
me. As soon as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves." `Umar said, "O Allah's
Apostle! You have more right to be feared by them." Then he addressed (those women) saying, "O
enemies of your own souls! Do you fear me and not Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" They replied. "Yes, for you are
a fearful and fierce man as compared with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to `Umar),
"By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a path, he follows a path other
than yours."

"Wouldn't it have been sufficient to burn a single ant? (that bit you): (See Page 162, chapter No. 153).

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ وَطُولُهُ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَى أُولَئِكَ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ، فَاسْتَمِعْ مَا يُحَيُّونَكَ، تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ. فَقَالَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ. فَقَالُوا السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ. فَزَادُوهُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ. فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى صُورَةِ آدَمَ، فَلَمْ يَزَلِ الْخَلْقُ يَنْقُصُ حَتَّى الآنَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to
him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting
(salutation) and the greeting (salutations of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu
Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace
and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa
Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure).
People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The first group of people who will enter Paradise, will be glittering like the full
moon and those who will follow them, will glitter like the most brilliant star in the sky. They will not
urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat
will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be used in their centers. Their wives will be houris. All of
them will look alike and will resemble their father Adam (in stature), sixty cubits tall."
Um Salama said, "Um Sulaim said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah does not refrain from saying the truth! Is
it obligatory for a woman to take a bath after she gets nocturnal discharge?' He said, 'Yes, if she
notices the water (i.e. discharge).' Um Salama smiled and said, 'Does a woman get discharge?' Allah's
Apostle said. 'Then why does a child resemble (its mother)?"

When `Abdullah bin Salam heard the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) at Medina, he came to him and said, "I am
going to ask you about three things which nobody knows except a prophet: What is the first portent of
the Hour? What will be the first meal taken by the people of Paradise? Why does a child resemble its
father, and why does it resemble its maternal uncle" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Gabriel has just now told
me of their answers." `Abdullah said, "He (i.e. Gabriel), from amongst all the angels, is the enemy of
the Jews." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The first portent of the Hour will be a fire that will bring together the
people from the east to the west; the first meal of the people of Paradise will be Extra-lobe (caudate
lobe) of fish-liver. As for the resemblance of the child to its parents: If a man has sexual intercourse
with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if the woman gets
discharge first, the child will resemble her." On that `Abdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that you are
the Messenger of Allah." `Abdullah bin Salam further said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The Jews are liars, and if
they should come to know about my conversion to Islam before you ask them (about me), they would
tell a lie about me." The Jews came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and `Abdullah went inside the house. Allah's
Apostle asked (the Jews), "What kind of man is `Abdullah bin Salam amongst you?" They replied,
"He is the most learned person amongst us, and the best amongst us, and the son of the best amongst
us." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "What do you think if he embraces Islam (will you do as he does)?" The
Jews said, "May Allah save him from it." Then `Abdullah bin Salam came out in front of them saying,
"I testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of
Allah." Thereupon they said, "He is the evilest among us, and the son of the evilest amongst us," and
continued talking badly of him.

" اسْتَوْصُوا بِالنِّسَاءِ، فَإِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ خُلِقَتْ مِنْ ضِلَعٍ، وَإِنَّ أَعْوَجَ شَىْءٍ فِي الضِّلَعِ أَعْلاَهُ، فَإِنْ ذَهَبْتَ تُقِيمُهُ كَسَرْتَهُ، وَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ أَعْوَجَ، فَاسْتَوْصُوا بِالنِّسَاءِ ".
Allah 's Apostle said, "Treat women nicely, for a women is created from a rib, and the most curved
portion of the rib is its upper portion, so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you
leave it as it is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the true and truly inspired said, "(as regards your creation), every one of you is
collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days, and then he becomes a clot for another
forty days, and then a piece of flesh for another forty days. Then Allah sends an angel to write four
items: He writes his deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood, and whether he will be
wretched or blessed (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into his body. So a man may do deeds
characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit
between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and so he starts doing
deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise. Similarly, a person may do deeds
characteristic of the people of Paradise, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between
him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and he starts doing deeds of the
people of the (Hell) Fire and enters the (Hell) Fire."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has appointed an angel in the womb, and the angel says, 'O Lord! A drop of
discharge (i.e. of semen), O Lord! a clot, O Lord! a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allah wishes to
complete the child's creation, the angel will say. 'O Lord! A male or a female? O Lord! wretched or
blessed (in religion)? What will his livelihood be? What will his age be?' The angel writes all this
while the child is in the womb of its mother."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah will say to that person of the (Hell) Fire who will receive the least
punishment, 'If you had everything on the earth, would you give it as a ransom to free yourself (i.e.
save yourself from this Fire)?' He will say, 'Yes.' Then Allah will say, 'While you were in the
backbone of Adam, I asked you much less than this, i.e. not to worship others besides Me, but you
insisted on worshipping others besides me.' "

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Noah and his nation will come (on the Day of Resurrection and Allah will ask
(Noah), "Did you convey (the Message)?' He will reply, 'Yes, O my Lord!' Then Allah will ask Noah's
nation, 'Did Noah convey My Message to you?' They will reply, 'No, no prophet came to us.' Then
Allah will ask Noah, 'Who will stand a witness for you?' He will reply, 'Muhammad and his followers
(will stand witness for me).' So, I and my followers will stand as witnesses for him (that he conveyed
Allah's Message)." That is, (the interpretation) of the Statement of Allah: "Thus we have made you a
just and the best nation that you might be witnesses Over mankind .." (2.143)
We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) at a banquet and a cooked (mutton) forearm was set before
him, and he used to like it. He ate a morsel of it and said, "I will be the chief of all the people on the
Day of Resurrection. Do you know how Allah will gather all the first and the last (people) in one level
place where an observer will be able to see (all) of them and they will be able to hear the announcer,
and the sun will come near to them. Some People will say: Don't you see, in what condition you are
and the state to which you have reached? Why don't you look for a person who can intercede for you
with your Lord? Some people will say: Appeal to your father, Adam.' They will go to him and say: 'O
Adam! You are the father of all mankind, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the
angels to prostrate for you, and made you live in Paradise. Will you not intercede for us with your
Lord? Don't you see in what (miserable) state we are, and to what condition we have reached?' On that
Adam will reply, 'My Lord is so angry as He has never been before and will never be in the future;
(besides), He forbade me (to eat from) the tree, but I disobeyed (Him), (I am worried about) myself!
Myself! Go to somebody else; go to Noah.' They will go to Noah and say; 'O Noah! You are the first
amongst the messengers of Allah to the people of the earth, and Allah named you a thankful slave.
Don't you see in what a (miserable) state we are and to what condition we have reached? Will you not
intercede for us with your Lord? Noah will reply: 'Today my Lord has become so angry as he had
never been before and will never be in the future Myself! Myself! Go to the Prophet (Muhammad).
The people will come to me, and I will prostrate myself underneath Allah's Throne. Then I will be
addressed: 'O Muhammad! Raise your head; intercede, for your intercession will be accepted, and ask
(for anything). for you will be given. "
Abu Dhar (ra) used to say that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While I was at Makkah, the roof of my house was opened and Jibril descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith, and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the heaven. When Jibril reached the nearest heaven, he said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'who is it?' Jibril answered, 'Jibril'. He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Jibril replied, 'Muhammad (ﷺ) is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?', Jibril said, 'Yes'. So, the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven, and there we saw a man sitting with Aswida (a large number of people) of his right and Aswida on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked towards his left he wept. He said (to me), 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son'. I said, 'Who is this man O Jibril?' Jibril replied, 'He is Adam, and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on the right are the people of Paradise, and those on the left are the people of the (Hell) Fire. So, when he looks to the right, he laughs, and when he looks to the left he weeps.' Then Jibril ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and said to the gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven has said, and he opened the gate."
Anas added: Abu Dhar mentioned that Prophet (ﷺ) met Idris, Musa (Moses), 'Isa (Jesus) and Ibrahim (Abraham) over the heavens, but he did not specify their places (i.e., on which heavens each of them was), but he mentioned that he (the Prophet (ﷺ)) had met Adam on the nearest heaven, and Ibrahim on the sixth. Anas said, "When Jibril and the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' the Prophet (ﷺ) asked, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Idris.' " The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "Then I passed by Musa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Musa.' Then I passed by 'Isa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is 'Isa.' Then I passed by the Prophet (ﷺ) Ibrahim who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is Ibrahim'."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas and Abu Haiyya Al-Ansari: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then Jibril ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik state the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on me. When I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Musa who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on them.' On the Musa said to me, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction), for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord and asked for some reduction, and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Musa again and informed him about it, he once more said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord similarly as before, and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Musa and he said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' I again returned to my Lord and He said, 'These are five (Salat-prayers) and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward), for My Word does not change.' I returned to Musa, he again told me to return to my Lord (for further reduction) but I said to him 'I feel shy of asking my Lord now.' Then Jibril took me till we reached Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e., lote tree of utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colors indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small tents (made) of pearls and its earth was musk (a kind of perfume)."

Narrated Abu Sa`id:
قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِذُهَيْبَةٍ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ الأَرْبَعَةِ الأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ الْحَنْظَلِيِّ ثُمَّ الْمُجَاشِعِيِّ، وَعُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ الْفَزَارِيِّ، وَزَيْدٍ الطَّائِيِّ ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي نَبْهَانَ، وَعَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عُلاَثَةَ الْعَامِرِيِّ ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي كِلاَبٍ، فَغَضِبَتْ قُرَيْشٌ وَالأَنْصَارُ، قَالُوا يُعْطِي صَنَادِيدَ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ وَيَدَعُنَا. قَالَ " إِنَّمَا أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ ". فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ غَائِرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ مُشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ، نَاتِئُ الْجَبِينِ، كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ، مَحْلُوقٌ فَقَالَ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ. فَقَالَ " مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ إِذَا عَصَيْتُ، أَيَأْمَنُنِي اللَّهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ فَلاَ تَأْمَنُونِي ". فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ قَتْلَهُ ـ أَحْسِبُهُ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ ـ فَمَنَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ " إِنَّ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا ـ أَوْ فِي عَقِبِ هَذَا ـ قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ، لاَ يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الإِسْلاَمِ، وَيَدَعُونَ أَهْلَ الأَوْثَانِ، لَئِنْ أَنَا أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ عَادٍ ".
`Ali sent a piece of gold to the Prophet (ﷺ) who distributed it among four persons: Al-Aqra' bin H`Abis Al-Hanzali from the tribe of Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, Zaid at-Ta'i who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Nahban, and 'Alqama bin Ulatha Al-`Amir who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Kilab. So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, "He (i.e. the Prophet, ) gives the chief of Najd and does not give us." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I give them) so as to attract their hearts (to Islam)." Then a man with sunken eyes, prominent checks, a raised forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head, came (in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) and said, "Be afraid of Allah, O Muhammad!" The Prophet (ﷺ) ' said "Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allah has trusted all the people of the earth to me while, you do not trust me?" Somebody who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walid, requested the Prophet (ﷺ) to let him chop that man's head off, but he prevented him. When the man left, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Among the off-spring of this man will be some who will recite the Qur'an but the Qur'an will not reach beyond their throats (i.e. they will recite like parrots and will not understand it nor act on it), and they will renegade from the religion as an arrow goes through the game's body. They will kill the Muslims but will not disturb the idolaters. If I should live up to their time' I will kill them as the people of 'Ad were killed (i.e. I will kill all of them)."
That the Prophet (ﷺ) once came to her in a state of fear and said, "None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from a danger that has come near. An opening has been made in the wall
of Gog and Magog like this," making a circle with his thumb and index finger. Zainab bint Jahsh said,
"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we be destroyed even though there are pious persons among us?" He said,
"Yes, when the evil person will increase."

Hadith 3347
Prophets - كتاب أحاديث الأنبياء
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" فَتَحَ اللَّهُ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلَ هَذَا ". وَعَقَدَ بِيَدِهِ تِسْعِينَ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has made an opening in the wall of the Gog and Magog (people) like this,
and he made with his hand (with the help of his fingers).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O Adam.' Adam will reply, 'Labbaik
wa Sa`daik', and all the good is in Your Hand.' Allah will say: 'Bring out the people of the fire.' Adam
will say: 'O Allah! How many are the people of the Fire?' Allah will reply: 'From every one thousand,
take out nine-hundred-and ninety-nine.' At that time children will become hoary headed, every
pregnant female will have a miscarriage, and one will see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be
drunken, but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah." The companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "O Allah's
Apostle! Who is that (excepted) one?" He said, "Rejoice with glad tidings; one person will be from
you and one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog."
The Prophet (ﷺ) further said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, hope that you will be one-fourth of the
people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He added, "I hope that you will be one-third of the
people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He said, "I hope that you will be half of the people
of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He further said, "You (Muslims) (compared with non
Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin of a white ox or like a white hair in the skin of a black ox
(i.e. your number is very small as compared with theirs).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You will be gathered (on the Day of Judgment), bare-footed, naked and not
circumcised." He then recited:--'As We began the first creation, We, shall repeat it: A Promise We
have undertaken: Truly we shall do it.' (21.104) He added, "The first to be dressed on the Day of
Resurrection, will be Abraham, and some of my companions will be taken towards the left side (i.e. to
the (Hell) Fire), and I will say: 'My companions! My companions!' It will be said: 'They renegade
from Islam after you left them.' Then I will say as the Pious slave of Allah (i.e. Jesus) said. 'And I was
a witness Over them while I dwelt amongst them. When You took me up You were the Watcher over
them, And You are a witness to all things. If You punish them. They are Your slaves And if You
forgive them, Verily you, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (5.120-121)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection Abraham will meet his father Azar whose face will be
dark and covered with dust.(The Prophet (ﷺ) Abraham will say to him): 'Didn't I tell you not to disobey
me?' His father will reply: 'Today I will not disobey you.' 'Abraham will say: 'O Lord! You promised
me not to disgrace me on the Day of Resurrection; and what will be more disgraceful to me than
cursing and dishonoring my father?' Then Allah will say (to him):' 'I have forbidden Paradise for the
disbelievers." Then he will be addressed, 'O Abraham! Look! What is underneath your feet?' He will
look and there he will see a Dhabh (an animal,) blood-stained, which will be caught by the legs and
thrown in the (Hell) Fire."
