Chapter 29: Saying "Ammaba'du" in the Khutba - كتاب الجمعة
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْغَسِيلِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ صَعِدَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمِنْبَرَ وَكَانَ آخِرَ مَجْلِسٍ جَلَسَهُ مُتَعَطِّفًا مِلْحَفَةً عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ، قَدْ عَصَبَ رَأْسَهُ بِعِصَابَةٍ دَسِمَةٍ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِلَىَّ ". فَثَابُوا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ " أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّ هَذَا الْحَىَّ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ يَقِلُّونَ، وَيَكْثُرُ النَّاسُ، فَمَنْ وَلِيَ شَيْئًا مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَضُرَّ فِيهِ أَحَدًا أَوْ يَنْفَعَ فِيهِ أَحَدًا، فَلْيَقْبَلْ مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ، وَيَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ مُسِيِّهِمْ ".
Once the Prophet (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit and it was the last gathering in which he took part. He was
covering his shoulder with a big cloak and binding his head with an oily bandage. He glorified and
praised Allah and said, "O people! Come to me." So the people came and gathered around him and he
then said, "Amma ba'du." "From now onward the Ansar will decrease and other people will increase.
So anybody who becomes a ruler of the followers of Muhammad and has the power to harm or benefit
people then he should accept the good from the benevolent amongst them (Ansar) and overlook the
faults of their wrong-doers."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When it is a Friday, the angels stand at the gate of the mosque and keep on writing
the names of the persons coming to the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. The example
of the one who enters the mosque in the earliest hour is that of one offering a camel (in sacrifice). The
one coming next is like one offering a cow and then a ram and then a chicken and then an egg
respectively. When the Imam comes out (for Jumua prayer) they (i.e. angels) fold their papers and
listen to the Khutba."
A person entered the mosque while the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Khutba on a Friday. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said to him, "Have you prayed?" The man replied in the negative. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Get up and pray
two rak`at."

Chapter 33: When the Imam is delivering the Khutba, a light two Rak'a Salat (prayer) (Tahayyat-ul Masjid) - كتاب الجمعة
Narrated Jabir:
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، قَالَ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ " أَصَلَّيْتَ ". قَالَ لاَ. قَالَ " فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ".
A man entered the Mosque while the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Khutba. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him,
"Have you prayed?" The man replied in the negative. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Pray two rak`at."
While the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a man stood up and said, "O, Allah's
Apostle! The livestock and the sheep are dying, so pray to Allah for rain." So he (the Prophet) raised
both his hands and invoked Allah (for it).
Once in the lifetime of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) the people were afflicted with drought (famine). While
the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
Our possessions are being destroyed and the children are hungry; Please invoke Allah (for rain)". So
the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his hands. At that time there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. By Him in Whose
Hands my soul is as soon as he lowered his hands, clouds gathered like mountains, and before he got
down from the pulpit, I saw the rain falling on the beard of the Prophet. It rained that day, the next
day, the third day, the fourth day till the next Friday. The same Bedouin or another man stood up and
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The houses have collapsed, our possessions and livestock have been
drowned; Please invoke Allah (to protect us)". So the Prophet (ﷺ) raised both his hands and said, "O
Allah! Round about us and not on us". So, in whatever direction he pointed with his hands, the clouds
dispersed and cleared away, and Medina's (sky) became clear as a hole in between the clouds. The
valley of Qanat remained flooded, for one month, none came from outside but talked about the
abundant rain.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, "When the Imam is delivering the Khutba, and you ask your companion
to keep quiet and listen, then no doubt you have done an evil act."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) talked about Friday and said, "There is an hour (opportune time) on Friday
and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah, then Allah will definitely meet
his demand." And he (the Prophet) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands.

Chapter 38: If some people leave while the Imam during the Salat-ul-Jumu'ah - كتاب الجمعة
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذْ أَقْبَلَتْ عِيرٌ تَحْمِلُ طَعَامًا، فَالْتَفَتُوا إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى مَا بَقِيَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلاَّ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلاً، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ {وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا}
While we were praying (Jumua Khutba & prayer) with the Prophet (p.b.u.h), some camels loaded with
food, arrived (from Sham). The people diverted their attention towards the camels (and left the
mosque), and only twelve persons remained with the Prophet. So this verse was revealed: "But when
they see Some bargain or some amusement, They disperse headlong to it, And leave you standing."
(62.11)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray two rak`at before the Zuhr prayer and two rak`at after it. He also used to
pray two rak`at after the Maghrib prayer in his house, and two rak`at after the `Isha' prayer. He never
prayed after Jumua prayer till he departed (from the Mosque), and then he would pray two rak`at at
home.
There was a woman amongst us who had a farm and she used to sow Silq (a kind of vegetable) on the
edges of streams in her farm. On Fridays she used to pull out the Silq from its roots and put the roots
in a utensil. Then she would put a handful of powdered barley over it and cook it. The roots of the Silq
were a substitute for meat. After finishing the Jumua prayer we used to greet her and she would give
us that food which we would eat with our hands, and because of that meal, we used to look forward to
Friday.

Chapter 1: The Salat-ul-Khauf - كتاب صلاة الخوف
Narrated Shu'aib:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعْنِي صَلاَةَ الْخَوْفِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمٌ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ، فَوَازَيْنَا الْعَدُوَّ فَصَافَفْنَا لَهُمْ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي لَنَا فَقَامَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مَعَهُ تُصَلِّي، وَأَقْبَلَتْ طَائِفَةٌ عَلَى الْعَدُوِّ وَرَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَنْ مَعَهُ، وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا مَكَانَ الطَّائِفَةِ الَّتِي لَمْ تُصَلِّ، فَجَاءُوا، فَرَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً، وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، فَقَامَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فَرَكَعَ لِنَفْسِهِ رَكْعَةً وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ.
I asked Az-Zuhri, "Did the Prophet (ﷺ) ever offer the Fear Prayer?" Az-Zuhri said, "I was told by Salim
that `Abdullah bin `Umar I had said, 'I took part in a holy battle with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I in Najd. We
faced the enemy and arranged ourselves in rows. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) stood up to lead the
prayer and one party stood to pray with him while the other faced the enemy. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h)
and the former party bowed and performed two prostrations. Then that party left and took the place of
those who had not prayed. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed one rak`a (with the latter) and performed two
prostrations and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then everyone of them bowed once and performed
two prostrations individually.' "
Ibn `Umar said something similar to Mujahid's saying: Whenever (Muslims and non-Muslims) stand
face to face in battle, the Muslims can pray while standing. Ibn `Umar added, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'If
the number of the enemy is greater than the Muslims, they can pray while standing or riding
(individually).' "
Once the Prophet (p.b.u.h) led the fear prayer and the people stood behind him. He said Takbir
(Allahu-Akbar) and the people said the same. He bowed and some of them bowed. Then he prostrated
and they also prostrated. Then he stood for the second rak`a and those who had prayed the first rak`a
left and guarded their brothers. The second party joined him and performed bowing and prostration
with him. All the people were in prayer but they were guarding one another during the prayer.
On the day of the Khandaq `Umar came, cursing the disbelievers of Quraish and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have not offered the `Asr prayer and the sun has set." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "By Allah! I too,
have not offered the prayer yet. "The Prophet (ﷺ) then went to Buthan, performed ablution and performed
the `Asr prayer after the sun had set and then offered the Maghrib prayer after it."

Chapter 5: The chaser and the chased can offer Salat (prayer) while riding , and by signs - كتاب صلاة الخوف
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَنَا لَمَّا رَجَعَ مِنَ الأَحْزَابِ
" لاَ يُصَلِّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ الْعَصْرَ إِلاَّ فِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ ". فَأَدْرَكَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْعَصْرَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لاَ نُصَلِّي حَتَّى نَأْتِيَهَا، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَلْ نُصَلِّي لَمْ يُرَدْ مِنَّا ذَلِكَ. فَذُكِرَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمْ يُعَنِّفْ وَاحِدًا مِنْهُمْ.
When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned from the battle of Al-Ahzab (The confederates), he said to us, "None should offer the 'Asr prayer but at Bani Quraiza." The 'Asr prayer became due for some of them on the way. Some of them decided not to offer the Salat but at Bani Quraiza while others decided to offer the Salat on the spot and said that the intention of the Prophet (ﷺ) was not what the former party had understood. And when that was told to the Prophet (ﷺ) he did not blame anyone of them.

Chapter 6: Offering As-Salat (the prayers) while attacking the enemy and in battles - كتاب صلاة الخوف
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، وَثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ بِغَلَسٍ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ فَقَالَ
" اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ خَرِبَتْ خَيْبَرُ، إِنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا بِسَاحَةِ قَوْمٍ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ ". فَخَرَجُوا يَسْعَوْنَ فِي السِّكَكِ وَيَقُولُونَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَالْخَمِيسُ ـ قَالَ وَالْخَمِيسُ الْجَيْشُ ـ فَظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَتَلَ الْمُقَاتِلَةَ وَسَبَى الذَّرَارِيَّ، فَصَارَتْ صَفِيَّةُ لِدِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ، وَصَارَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجَهَا وَجَعَلَ صَدَاقَهَا عِتْقَهَا. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ لِثَابِتٍ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنْتَ سَأَلْتَ أَنَسًا مَا أَمْهَرَهَا قَالَ أَمْهَرَهَا نَفْسَهَا. فَتَبَسَّمَ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) offered the Fajr prayer when it was still dark, then he rode and said, 'Allah
Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. When we approach near to a nation, the most unfortunate is the morning of
those who have been warned." The people came out into the streets saying, "Muhammad and his
army." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) vanquished them by force and their warriors were killed; the children and
women were taken as captives. Safiya was taken by Dihya Al-Kalbi and later she belonged to Allah's
Apostle go who married her and her Mahr was her manumission.

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ أَخَذَ عُمَرُ جُبَّةً مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ تُبَاعُ فِي السُّوقِ، فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْتَعْ هَذِهِ تَجَمَّلْ بِهَا لِلْعِيدِ وَالْوُفُودِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ لِبَاسُ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ ". فَلَبِثَ عُمَرُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَلْبَثَ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِجُبَّةِ دِيبَاجٍ، فَأَقْبَلَ بِهَا عُمَرُ، فَأَتَى بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ " إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ لِبَاسُ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ ". وَأَرْسَلْتَ إِلَىَّ بِهَذِهِ الْجُبَّةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَبِيعُهَا أَوْ تُصِيبُ بِهَا حَاجَتَكَ ".
`Umar bought a silk cloak from the market, took it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
Take it and adorn yourself with it during the `Id and when the delegations visit you." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
(p.b.u.h) replied, "This dress is for those who have no share (in the Hereafter)." After a long period
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) sent to `Umar a cloak of silk brocade. `Umar came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
(p.b.u.h) with the cloak and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You said that this dress was for those who had
no share (in the Hereafter); yet you have sent me this cloak." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him, "Sell it and
fulfill your needs by it."

Narrated Aisha:
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرٌو، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الأَسَدِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعِنْدِي جَارِيَتَانِ تُغَنِّيَانِ بِغِنَاءِ بُعَاثَ، فَاضْطَجَعَ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ وَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ، وَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَانْتَهَرَنِي وَقَالَ مِزْمَارَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ فَقَالَ " دَعْهُمَا " فَلَمَّا غَفَلَ غَمَزْتُهُمَا فَخَرَجَتَا. وَكَانَ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ يَلْعَبُ السُّودَانُ بِالدَّرَقِ وَالْحِرَابِ، فَإِمَّا سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَإِمَّا قَالَ " تَشْتَهِينَ تَنْظُرِينَ ". فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ. فَأَقَامَنِي وَرَاءَهُ خَدِّي عَلَى خَدِّهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ " دُونَكُمْ يَا بَنِي أَرْفِدَةَ ". حَتَّى إِذَا مَلِلْتُ قَالَ " حَسْبُكِ ". قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ " فَاذْهَبِي ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) came to my house while two girls were singing beside me the songs of Buath
(a story about the war between the two tribes of the Ansar, the Khazraj and the Aus, before Islam).
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) lay down and turned his face to the other side. Then Abu Bakr came and spoke
to me harshly saying, "Musical instruments of Satan near the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
(p.b.u.h) turned his face towards him and said, "Leave them." When Abu Bakr became inattentive, I
signaled to those girls to go out and they left. It was the day of `Id, and the Black people were playing
with shields and spears; so either I requested the Prophet (p.b.u.h) or he asked me whether I would
like to see the display. I replied in the affirmative. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) made me stand behind
him and my cheek was touching his cheek and he was saying, "Carry on! O Bani Arfida," till I got
tired. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked me, "Are you satisfied (Is that sufficient for you)?" I replied in the
affirmative and he told me to leave.
I heard the Prophet (p.b.u.h) delivering a Khutba saying, "The first thing to be done on this day (first
day of `Id ul Adha) is to pray; and after returning from the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in the
name of Allah) and whoever does so, he acted according to our Sunna (traditions)."
