(One of the narrators) Muhammad bin Sabbah said: “Sufyan told us something similar, narrating from Yahya bin Sa`eed, from Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin `Amr bin Hazm. from `Abbad bin Tamim, from his paternal uncle, from the Prophet (ﷺ).”
Sufyan narrated that Al-Mas`udi said: “I asked Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin `Amr: 'Did he turn it upside down or right to left?' He said: 'No, it was right to left.'”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
went
out one day to pray for rain. He led us in praying two Rak’ah
without any Adhan or Iqamah, then he addressed us and supplicated to
Allah. He turned to face the Qiblah, raising his hands, then he
turned
his cloak around, putting its right on the left and its left
on the
right.”

“O Ka’b
bin Murrah, narrate to us a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ),
but be careful.” He said: “A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and
said:
‘O Messenger of Allah, ask Allah for rain!’ So the
Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) raised his hands and said: ‘O Allah! Send
wholesome, productive
rain upon all of us, sooner rather than later,
beneficial and not
harmful.’ No sooner had they finished performing
Friday (prayer) but
they were revived. Then they came to him and
complained to him about
the rain, saying: ‘O Allah, around us and
not upon us.’ Then the
clouds began to disperse right and left.”
“A Bedouin came to the Prophet
(ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I have come to you from
people
who have no place to graze their flocks and even their male
camels
have become weak. He mounted the pulpit and praised Allah,
then he
said: ‘O Allah, send upon us all abundant, wholesome rain,
productive
and plentiful, sooner rather than later.’ Then the rain
came down, and
no one came to him from any direction but they said:
‘We have been
revived.’”

“Sometimes I remember the words of
the poet when I was looking at the face of the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) on the pulpit. He did not come down until all the waterspouts

‘He has a white complexion and rain is sought by virtue of his countenance,
He cares for the orphans, and protects the widows,
These are the words of Abu Talib.”

“I heard Ibn ‘Abbas say: ‘I bear
witness that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed before the sermon,
then he delivered the sermon. And he thought that the women had not
heard, so he went over to them and reminded them (of Allah) and
preached to them and enjoined them to give in charity, and Bilal was
spreading his hands like this, and the women started giving their
earrings, rings and things.’”
“Marwan brought the pulpit out
one
‘Eid day and started to deliver the sermon before the prayer. A
man
stood up and said: ‘O Commander of the Believers, you have gone
against the Sunnah. You have brought the pulpit out on the day of
‘Eid
and it was not brought out before, and you started with the
sermon
before the prayer, when this was not done before.’ Abu
Sa’eed said:
‘As for this man, he has done his duty. I heard the
Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) say: “Whoever among you sees an evil
action, and he is able to
change it with his hand, then change it
with his hand (by taking
action); if he cannot, (do so) with his
tongue then with his tongue
(by speaking out); and if he cannot then
with his heart (by hating it
and feeling that it is wrong), and that
is the weakest of faith.”

“There is nothing
that happened during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) except
that I have seen it, except for one thing, which is that Taqlis* was
performed for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the Day of Fitr.
(Three other chains of narration) with similar wording.
*Taqlis means to indulge in celebrations on a festive occasion.
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used
to
set out for the praying place in the morning of the day of ‘Eid,
and a small spear would be carried before him. When he reached the
praying place, it would be set up in front of him, then he would pray
facing it, and that was because the praying place was an open space
in
which there was nothing that could serve as a Sutrah*.
*Sutrah (screen), meaning a barrier of some type.

said: ‘Whoever fasts Ramadan and spends its nights in prayer, out
of
faith and in hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.’”
“We fasted Ramadan with the
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) and he did not lead us in praying Qiyam
(prayers at
night) during any part of it, until there were seven
nights left. He
led us in praying Qiyam on the seventh night until
approximately one
third of the night had passed. Then on the sixth
night which followed
it he did not lead us in prayer. Then he led us
in praying Qiyam on
the fifth night which followed it until almost
half the night had
passed. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, would that
we had offered
voluntary prayers throughout the whole night.’ He said:
‘Whoever
stands with the Imam until he finishes, it is equivalent to
spending
the whole night in prayer.’ Then on the fourth night which
followed
it, he did not lead us in prayer, until the third night that
followed
it, when he gathered his wives and family, and the people
gathered,
and he led us in prayer until we feared that we would miss
the
Falah.” It was asked: “What is the Falah?” He said: “Suhur.”
He
said: “Then he did not lead us in prayer at night for the rest
of the
month.”
“I met Abu Salamah bin
‘Abdur-Rahman and said: ‘Tell me a Hadith that you heard from
your
father, in which mention is made of the month of Ramadan.’ He
said:
‘Yes, my father narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
mentioned the month of Ramadan and said: “A month which Allah
has
enjoined upon you to fast, and in which I have established Qiyam
(prayers at night) as Sunnah for you. So whoever fasts it and spends
its nights in prayer out of faith and in hope of reward; he will
emerge from his sins as on the day his mother bore him.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘At night Satan ties a rope in which there are three knots to
the nape of the neck of anyone of you. If he wakes up and remembers
Allah, one knot is untied. If he performs ablution, another knot is
untied, and if he gets up to pray, all the knots are untied, so he
wakes up energetic and cheerful, he has already earned something
good.
But if he does not do that, he wakes up bad-tempered, having
earned
nothing good.”

people are sleeping, you will enter Paradise in peace.”

“We came to the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) in
the delegation of Thaqif. The allies of Quraish stayed at the
house
of Mughirah bin Shu’bah, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) camped
Bani Malik in a tent belonging to him. He used to come to us every
night after the ‘Isha’ and speak to us standing on his two feet,
until
he started to shift his weight from one foot to the other. Most
of
what he told us was what he had suffered from his people, the
Quraish.
He said: ‘(The two sides) were not equal. We were weak and
oppressed
and humiliated, and when we went out to Al-Madinah, the
outcome of the
battles between us varied; sometimes we would defeat
them and
sometimes they would defeat us.’ One night he was later
than he
usually was, and I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you have
come to us
late tonight.’ He said: ‘It occurred to me that I had
not read my
daily portion of Qur’an and I did not want to come out
until I had
completed it.’” Aws said: “I asked the Companions
of the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ): ‘How did you used to divide up the
Qur’an?’ They said: ‘A
third, a fifth, a seventh, a ninth, an
eleventh, a thirteenth, and
Hizbul-Mufassal.’”
“I memorized the Qur’an
and recited it all in one night. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
‘I
am afraid that you may live a long life and that you may get
bored.
Recite it over the period of a month.’ I said: ‘Let me
benefit from my
strength in my youth.’ He said: ‘Recite it in ten
days.’ I said: ‘Let
me benefit from my strength and my youth.’
He said: ‘Recite it in
seven days.’ I said: ‘Let me benefit
from my strength and my youth,’
but he refused (to alter it any
further).”

It was
narrated from Hudhaifah that the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed, and
when he
recited a Verse which mentioned mercy, he would ask for mercy;
when
he recited a Verse that mentioned punishment he would pray for
deliverance from it; and when he recited a Verse that mentioned the
Tanzih of Allah, he would glorify Him.

“I came to ‘Aishah and
asked: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recite Qur’an loudly or
softly?’ She said: ‘Sometimes he would recite loud and sometimes
softly.’ I said, ‘Allahu Akbar! Praise is to Allah Who has made
this
matter one of broad scope.’”
“When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
prayed Tahajjud at night, he would say: “Allahumma lakal-hamd,

Another chain that Ibn `Abbas narrated: “When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood during the night for Tahajjud,” and he mentioned something similar.
“I asked ‘Aishah: ‘With
what did the Prophet (ﷺ) start voluntary prayers?’ She said: ‘You
have asked me about something which no one has asked before. He used
to say Allahu Akbar ten times, and Al-Hamdu Lillah ten times and
Subhan Allah ten times, and he would say Allahumma aghfirli wahdini,
warzuqni, wa ‘afini (O Allah, forgive me, guide me, grant me
provision
and give me good health),” and he would seek refuge from
the
difficulty of the standing on the Day of Resurrection.”

Bakr.
“During the period after he finished the ‘Isha’ prayer until
the
Fajr, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray eleven Rak’ah, saying the
Salam
after each two Rak’ah and praying Witr with one Rak’ah. He
would
prostrate for as long as it takes anyone of you to recite fifty
Verses

silent after
the first Adhan for the Subh prayer, he would get up and

“I lay down
across the pillow and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his wife were
laying along it. The Prophet (ﷺ) slept until midnight, or a little
before, or a little after. The Prophet (ﷺ) woke up and began to rub
the sleep from his face with his hand. Then he recited the last ten
Verses of Surah Al ‘Imran. Then he got up and went to a water skin
that was hanging up and performed ablution from it, and he performed
ablution well, then he stood up and prayed.” ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas
said: “I stood up and did what he had done, then I went and stood
beside him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) put his right hand on my
head, took hold of my right ear and tweaked it. Then he prayed two
Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah,
then two
Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah, then he prayed Witr. Then he
lay down until
the Mu’adh-dhin came to him and he prayed two brief
Rak’ah, then he
went out to pray.”
“I came to the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, who became a Muslim
with you?’ He said: ‘A free man and a slave.’ I said: ‘Is
there any
hour of the night that is closer to Allah than another?’
He said:
‘Yes, the last half of the night.’”
“Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, descends when one third of
the
night remains, every night and He says: ‘Who will ask of Me, that
I
may give him? Who will call upon Me, that I may answer him? Who will
ask My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?’ until dawn comes.”
Hence
they used to prefer voluntary prayers at the end of the night
rather
than at the beginning.
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘Allah provides respite until, when half or two thirds
of
the night had passed, He says: “My slave does not ask of anyone
other
than Me. Whoever calls upon Me, I will answer him; whoever asks
of Me,
I will give him; whoever asks My forgiveness, I will forgive
him,”
until dawn comes.’”
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Whoever recites the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah at
night,
that will be sufficient for him.”
In his narration (one of the narrators) Hafs said: “`Abdur-Rahman said: ‘I met Abu Mas`ud when he was performing Tawaf, and he narrated this to me.’”
“The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘If
anyone
of you becomes drowsy, let him sleep until he feels refreshed,
for he
does not know, if he prays when he feels drowsy, he may want to
say
words seeking forgiveness but (instead) he ends up cursing
himself.’”

“A group from the people of
‘Iraq came to ‘Umar and when they came to him, he said to them:
‘Where

It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" إِذَا قَضَى أَحَدُكُمْ صَلاَتَهُ فَلْيَجْعَلْ لِبَيْتِهِ مِنْهَا نَصِيبًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَاعِلٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ خَيْرًا " .
“When anyone of you has finished his prayer, let him give his
house
a share of that, for Allah will put something good in his house
because of that prayer.”
“I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ):
‘Which is better prayer in my house or prayer in the mosque?’ He
said:
‘Do you not see how close my house is to the mosque?’ But
praying in
my house is dearer to me than praying in the mosque, apart
from the
prescribed prayers.’”
“During the caliphate
of
‘Uthman, when the people were present in large numbers, I asked
about Duha prayer, and I could not find anyone who could tell me that
he, meaning the Prophet (ﷺ), had prayed it, apart from Umm Hani’.
She told me that he had prayed it with eight Rak’ah.”
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) used to teach us Istikharah, just as he used to teach us a
Surah of the Qur’an. He said: ‘If anyone of you is deliberating
about
a decision he has to make, then let him pray two Rak’ah of
non-
obligatory prayer, then say: Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi

“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us and said: ‘Whoever has some
need from Allah or from any of His creation, let him perform ablution
and pray two Rak’ah, then let him say: La ilaha

Al-hamdu Lillahi

has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most
Generous. Glory is to
Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. Praise is
to Allah, the Lord of
the worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the means of
Your mercy and
forgiveness, the benefit of every good deed and safety
from all sins.
I ask You not to leave any sin of mine but You forgive
it, or any
distress but You relieve it, or any need that is pleasing
to You but
You meet it). Then he should ask Allah for whatever he
wants in this
world and in the Hereafter, for it is decreed.”
“Pray to Allah to heal me.” He said: “If
you
wish to store your reward for the Hereafter, that is better, or
if you
wish, I will supplicate for you.” He said: “Supplicate.”
So he told
him to perform ablution and do it well, and to pray two
Rak’ah, and to
say this supplication: “Allahumma inni as’aluka

You by virtue of the
intercession of Muhammad the Prophet of mercy. O
Muhammad, I have

of mine so that it may be met. O Allah, accept
his intercession
concerning me)”.
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said
to ‘Abbas: ‘O uncle, shall I not give you a gift, shall I not
benefit you, shall I not uphold my ties of kinship with you?’ He
said:
‘Of course, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Pray four
Rak’ah, and
recite in each Rak’ah the Opening of the Book
(Al-Fatihah) and a
Surah. When you have finished reciting, say:
Subhan-Allah wal-hamdu
Lillah wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar
(Glory is to Allah, praise

is the Most Great) fifteen times
before you bow in Ruku’. Then bow and
say it ten times; then raise
your head and say it ten times; then
prostrate and say it ten times;
then raise your head and say it ten

ten times; then raise your head and
say it ten times before you stand
up. That wil be seventy-five times
in each Rak’ah and three hundred
times in the four Rak’ah, and even if
your sins are like the grains
of sand, Allah will forgive you for
them.’ He said: ‘O Messenger
of Allah, what if someone cannot say it
in one day?’ He said: ‘Then
say it once in a week; if you cannot, then
say it once in a month’
until he said: ‘Once in a year.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said
to ‘Abbas bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib: ‘O ‘Abbas, O my uncle, shall I
not
give you a gift, shall I not give you something, shall I not tell
you
of something which, if you do it, will expiate for ten types of
sins?
If you do them, Allah will forgive you your sins, the first and
the
last of them, the old and the new, the unintentional and the
deliberate, the minor and the major, the secret and the open, ten
types of sin. Pray four Rak’ah, and recite in each Rak’ah the
Opening
of the Book (Al-Fatihah) and a Surah. When you have finished
reciting
in the first Rak’ah, while you are standing, say:
Subhan-Allah wal-
hamdu Lillah wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar
(Glory if to Allah,
praise is to Allah, none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and
Allah is the Most Great) fifteen times. Then
bow and say it ten times
while you are bowing. Then raise your head
from Ruku’ and say it ten
times. Then go into prostration and say
it ten times while you are
prostrating. Then raise your head from
prostration and say it ten
times. Then prostrate and say it ten
times. Then raise your head from
prostration and say it ten times.
That will be seventy-five times in
each Rak’ah. Do that in all four
Rak’ah. If you can pray it once each
day then do so. If you cannot,
then once each week; if you cannot,
then once each month. If you
cannot, then once in your lifetime.’”
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘When it is the night of the middle of Sha’ban, spend
its
night in prayer and observe a fast on that day. For Allah
descends at
sunset on that night to the lowest heaven and says: ‘Is
there no one
who will ask Me for forgiveness, that I may forgive him?
Is there no
one who will ask Me for provision, that I may provide for
him? Is
there no one who is afflicted by trouble, that I may relieve
him?’ And
so on, until dawn comes.’”
“I missed the Prophet (ﷺ) one
night, so I went out looking for him. I found him at Al-Baqi’,
raising
his head towards the sky. He said: ‘O ‘Aishah, were you
afraid that
Allah and His Messenger would wrong you?’” She said:
“I said: ‘No, it
is not that, but I thought that you had gone to
one of your other
wives.’ He said: ‘Allah descends on the night
of the middle of Sha’ban
to the lowest heaven, and He forgives more
than the numbers of hairs
on the sheep of Banu Kalb.’”

with

him about that. Then Allah revealed the words:
“And perform the
prayer, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night.
Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for
the mindful.” [11:114] He said: “O Messenger of Allah, is this
only
for me?” He said: “It is for everyone who acts upon it.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: ‘Allah enjoined fifty prayers upon my nation, and I came back
with that until I came to Musa. Musa said: ‘What has your Lord
enjoined upon your nation?’ I said: ‘He has enjoined fifty
prayers on me.’ He said: ‘Go back to your Lord, for your nation
will not be able to do that.’ So I went back to my Lord, and He
reduced it by half. I went back to Musa and told him, and he said:
‘Go back to your Lord, for your nation will not be able to do
that.’ So I went back to my Lord, and He said: ‘They are five and
they are fifty; My Word does not change.’ So I went back to Musa
and he said: ‘Go back to your Lord.’ I said: ‘I feel shy before
my Lord.’”
“I heard the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Five prayers that Allah has enjoined upon His
slaves, so whoever does them, and does not omit anything out of
negligence, on the Day of Resurrection Allah will make a covenant

omits something from them out of negligence, will not have such a

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ الأَنْمَاطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ السَّيْبَانِيِّ، يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " لَمَّا فَرَغَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ مِنْ بِنَاءِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا حُكْمًا يُصَادِفُ حُكْمَهُ وَمُلْكًا لاَ يَنْبَغِي لأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَأَلاَّ يَأْتِيَ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ أَحَدٌ لاَ يُرِيدُ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةَ فِيهِ إِلاَّ خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ " . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَقَدْ أُعْطِيَهُمَا وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ الثَّالِثَةَ " .
“When Sulaiman bin Dawud finished building Baitil-Maqdis, he asked
Allah for three things: judgment that was in harmony with His
judgment, a dominion that no one after him would have, and that no
one
should come to this mosque, intending only to pray there, but he
would
emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him.” The
Prophet (ﷺ)
said: “Two prayers were granted, and I hope that the
third was also
granted.”

“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray facing the trunk of a date-
palm
tree when the mosque was still a hut, and he used to deliver the
sermon leaning on that trunk. A man from among his Companions said:
‘Would you like us to make you something upon which you can stand
on
Fridays so that the people will be able to see you and hear your
sermon?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ So he made three steps for him, as a
pulpit.
When they put the pulpit in place, they put it in the place
where it
stands now. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wanted to
stand on the
pulpit, he passed by the tree trunk from which he used
to deliver the
sermon, and when he went beyond the trunk, it moaned
and split and
cracked. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came down when he
heard the
voice of the trunk, and rubbed it with his hand until it
fell silent.
Then he went back to the pulpit and when he prayed, he
prayed facing
it. When the mosque was knocked down (for renovation)
and (the
pillars, etc.) were changed, Ubayy bin Ka’b took that
trunk and kept
it in his house until it became very old and the
termites consumed it
and it became grains of dust.”

It was

sermon
leaning on a tree trunk. When he started to use the pulpit, he
went
to the pulpit, and the trunk made a sorrowful sound. So he came
to
it and embraced it, and it calmed down. He said:
“The people differed concerning
the
pulpit of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and what it was made of. So
they came to Sahl bin Sa’d and asked him. He said: ‘There is no
one
left who knows more about that than I. It is made of tamarisk (a
type
of tree) from Ghabah. It was made by so-and-so, the freed slave
of so-
and-so (a woman), (who was) a carpenter. He brought it and he
(the
Prophet (ﷺ)) stood on it when it was put in position. He faced
the
Qiblah and the people stood behind him. He recited Qur’an, then
bowed
and raised his head, then he moved backwards until he
prostrated on
the ground, then he went back to the pulpit and recited
Qur’an, then

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ
" أَتَشْتَهِي شَيْئًا أَتَشْتَهِي كَعْكًا " . قَالَ نَعَمْ . فَطَلَبُوا لَهُ .
“The Prophet (ﷺ) entered
upon
a sick person to visit him. He said: ‘Do you long for anything?
Do
you long for Ka’k (a type of bread)?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ So they
sent
someone to bring some Ka’k for him.”
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" إِذَا دَخَلْتَ عَلَى مَرِيضٍ فَمُرْهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لَكَ فَإِنَّ دُعَاءَهُ كَدُعَاءِ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ " .
“The Prophet (ﷺ)
said
to me: ‘When you enter upon one who is sick, tell him to pray for
you, for his supplication is like the supplication of the angels.’”
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
say: ‘Whoever comes to his Muslim brother and visits him (when he
is
sick), he is walking among the harvest of Paradise until he sits
down,
and when he sits down he is covered with mercy. If it is
morning,
seventy thousand angels will send blessing upon him until
evening, and
if it is evening, seventy thousand angels will send
blessing upon him
until morning.’”
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سِنَانٍ الْقَسْمَلِيُّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي سَوْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ طِبْتَ وَطَابَ مَمْشَاكَ وَتَبَوَّأْتَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلاً " .
‘Whoever visits a sick person, a caller calls from heaven: ‘May
you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you occupy a
dignified position in Paradise.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Urge your dying ones
to
say: “La ilaha illallahul-Halimul-Karim, Subhan-Allahi
Rabbil-‘Arshil-‘Azim, Al-Hamdu Lillahi Rabbil-‘alamin (None has
the
right to be worshipped but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most Kind.
Glory
is to Allah, Lord of the magnificent Throne; praise is to
Allah, the
Lord of the worlds).’” They said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, what about
those who are alive?’ He said: ‘Even better,
even better.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِذَا حَضَرْتُمُ الْمَرِيضَ أَوِ الْمَيِّتَ فَقُولُوا خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ " . فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ قَدْ مَاتَ . قَالَ " قُولِي اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلَهُ وَأَعْقِبْنِي مِنْهُ عُقْبَى حَسَنَةً " . قَالَتْ فَفَعَلْتُ فَأَعْقَبَنِي اللَّهُ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ . مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
‘When you visit one who is sick or dying, say good things, for
the
angels say: Amin to whatever you say.’ When Abu Salamah died, I
came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Abu
Salamah
has died.’ He said: ‘Say: “Allahummaghfir li wa lahu,
wa a’qibni minhu
‘uqba hasanah (O Allah, forgive me and him, and
compensate me with
someone better than him).’” She said: ‘I
said that, and Allah
compensated me with someone better than him:
Muhammad the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ).’”
“When Ka’b was dying, Umm Bishr bint Bara’ bin Ma’rur came to
him and
said: ‘O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman! If you meet so-and-so, convey
Salam to him
from me.’ He said: ‘May Allah forgive you, O Umm
Bishr! We are too
busy to think of that.’ She said: ‘O Abu
‘Abdur-Rahman! Did you not
hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:
“The souls of the believers are
in green birds, eating from the
trees of Paradise”?’ He said: ‘Yes.’
She said: ‘That is
what I mean.’”
It was
narrated from ‘Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
entered
upon her and there was a close relative of hers who was in the
throes
of death. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw how upset she was, he
said:
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَعِنْدَهَا حَمِيمٌ لَهَا يَخْنُقُهُ الْمَوْتُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مَا بِهَا قَالَ لَهَا
" لاَ تَبْتَئِسِي عَلَى حَمِيمِكِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ " .
“Do
not grieve for your relative, for that is part of his
Hasanat
(merits).”
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَقَدْ شَقَّ بَصَرُهُ فَأَغْمَضَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ
" إِنَّ الرُّوحَ إِذَا قُبِضَ تَبِعَهُ الْبَصَرُ " .
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
entered upon Abu Salamah (after he had died), and his eyes were wide
open. He closed his eyes, then he said: ‘When the soul is taken,
the
sight follows it.’”
It was
narrated from Shaddad bin Aws that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ تَوْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا قَزَعَةُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" إِذَا حَضَرْتُمْ مَوْتَاكُمْ فَأَغْمِضُوا الْبَصَرَ فَإِنَّ الْبَصَرَ يَتْبَعُ الرُّوحَ وَقُولُوا خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ تُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى مَا قَالَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ " .
“When you come to your dead ones, close their eyes, for
the sight
follows the soul. And say good things, for the Angels say
Amin to
what the members of the household say.”
“The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) entered upon us when we were washing his daughter Umm
Kulthum. He said: ‘Wash her three or five times, or more than that
if
you think you need to, with water and lote leaves, and put camphor
or
a little camphor in (the water) for the last washing. When you
have
finished, call for me.’ When we finished, we called him, and
he gave
his waist-wrapper to us and said: ‘Shroud her with it.’”
“Hafsah narrated to me, from Umm
‘Atiyyah” and it is similar to the Hadith of Muhammad. And in the
narration of Hafsah it says: “Wash her an odd number of times.”
And:
“Wash her face three or five times.” And “Start on her
right, with the
places washed in ablution.” And it says that Umm
‘Atiyyah said: “And
we combed her hair into three braids.”
“Whoever
washes a deceased person, shrouds him, embalms him, carries
him and
offers the funeral prayer for him, and does not disclose what
he has
seen, he will emerge from his sins as on the day his mother
bore
him.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came
back from Al-Baqi’ and I had a headache and was saying: ‘O my
head!’
He said: ‘Rather, I should say, O my head, O ‘Aishah!’
Then he said:
‘It will not matter if you were to die before me, for
I will take care
of you, wash you, shroud you, offer the funeral
prayer for you and
bury you.’”
It was
narrated from Abu Buraidah that his father said:
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الأَزْهَرِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ لَمَّا أَخَذُوا فِي غُسْلِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ نَادَاهُمْ مُنَادٍ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ لاَ تَنْزِعُوا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَمِيصَهُ .
“When they
started
to wash the Prophet (ﷺ), a voice called out from inside (the
house)
saying: ‘Do not remove the shirt of the Messenger of Allah.’”
