Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Musa from Mansur
ibn Abd ar-Rahman al-Hajabi from his mother that A'isha, umm al-
muminin, may Allah be pleased with her, was asked about a man who
devoted his property to the door of Kaba. She said, "Let him do
kaffara for it with the kaffara of the oath."
Malik said,
that someone who devoted all his property in the way of Allah, and
then broke his oath, should put a third of his property in the way of
Allah, as that was what the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, did in the case of Abu Lubaba.
Muwatta Malik Book 22, Hadith 19
The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by her while she was in the masjid, supplicating, then he passed by her again when it was almost midday. He said to her: "Are you still here?" She said: "Yes." He said: "Shall I not teach you some words which you can say? Subhan Allah adada khalqihi, subhan Allah adada khalqihi, subhan Allah adada khalqihi; subhan Allah rida nafsihi, subhan Allah rida nafsihi, subhan Allah rida nafsihi; Subhan Allah zinata 'arshihi, Subhan Allah zinata 'arshihi, Subhan Allah zinata 'arshihi; Subhan Allah midada Kalamatihi, Subhan Allah midada Kalamatihi, Subhan Allah midada Kalamatihi (Glory be to Allah the number of His creation, glory be to Allah the number of His creation, glory be to Allah the number of His creation; glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him, glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him, glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him; glory be to Allah the weight of His throne, glory be to Allah the weight of His throne, glory be to Allah the weight of His throne; glory be to Allah the number of His words, glory be to Allah the number of His words, glory be to Allah the number of His words).'
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 13, Hadith 174
Yahya related to me from Malik from al-Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn
Ya'qub that he heard Abu's-Sa'ib, the mawla of Hisham ibn Zuhra, say
he had heard Abu Hurayra say, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Whoever prays a prayer
without reciting the umm al-Quran in it, his prayer is aborted, it is
aborted, it is aborted, incomplete.' So I said, 'Abu Hurayra,
sometimes I am behind the imam.'Hepulled my forearm and said, 'Recite
it to yourself, O Persian, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, say that Allah the Blessed, the
Exalted, said, "I have divided the prayer into two halves between me
and my slave. One half of it is for Me and one half of it is for IVly
slave, and My slave has what he asks." ' The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Recite." The slave says,
'Praise be to AIIah, the Lord of theWorlds.' Allah the Blessed, the
Exalted, says, 'My slave has praised Me.' The slave says, 'The
Merciful, the Compassionate.' Allah says, 'My slave has spoken well of
Me.' The slave says, 'Master of the Day of the Deen.' Allah says, 'My
slave has glorified Me.' The slave says, 'You alone we worship and You
alone we askforhelp.'Allahsays,'This ayat is between Me and My slave,
and for My slave is what he asks. 'The slave says, 'Guide us in the
straight Path, the Path of those whom You have blessed, not of those
with whom You are angry, nor those who are in error. ' Allah says,
'These are for My slaves, and for my slave is what he asks . ' " ' "
Muwatta Malik Book 3, Hadith 41
We, i.e., some people from Basra gathered and went to Anas bin Malik, and we went in company with
Thabit Al-Bunnani so that he might ask him about the Hadith of Intercession on our behalf. Behold,
Anas was in his palace, and our arrival coincided with his Duha prayer. We asked permission to enter
and he admitted us while he was sitting on his bed. We said to Thabit, "Do not ask him about anything
else first but the Hadith of Intercession." He said, "O Abu Hamza! There are your brethren from Basra
coming to ask you about the Hadith of Intercession." Anas then said, "Muhammad talked to us saying,
'On the Day of Resurrection the people will surge with each other like waves, and then they will come
to Adam and say, 'Please intercede for us with your Lord.' He will say, 'I am not fit for that but you'd
better go to Abraham as he is the Khalil of the Beneficent.' They will go to Abraham and he will say,
'I am not fit for that, but you'd better go to Moses as he is the one to whom Allah spoke directly.' So
they will go to Moses and he will say, 'I am not fit for that, but you'd better go to Jesus as he is a soul
created by Allah and His Word.' (Be: And it was) they will go to Jesus and he will say, 'I am not fit for
that, but you'd better go to Muhammad.'
They would come to me and I would say, 'I am for that.' Then I will ask for my Lord's permission, and
it will be given, and then He will inspire me to praise Him with such praises as I do not know now. So
I will praise Him with those praises and will fall down, prostrate before Him. Then it will be said, 'O
Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for your will be granted
(your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my
followers! My followers!' And then it will be said, 'Go and take out of Hell (Fire) all those who have
faith in their hearts, equal to the weight of a barley grain.' I will go and do so and return to praise Him
with the same praises, and fall down (prostrate) before Him. Then it will be said, 'O Muhammad, raise
your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and
intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers! My followers!' It
will be said, 'Go and take out of it all those who have faith in their hearts equal to the weight of a
small ant or a mustard seed.' I will go and do so and return to praise Him with the same praises, and
fall down in prostration before Him. It will be said, 'O, Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for
you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your
intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers!' Then He will say, 'Go and take out
(all those) in whose hearts there is faith even to the lightest, lightest mustard seed. (Take them) out of
the Fire.' I will go and do so."'
When we left Anas, I said to some of my companions, "Let's pass by Al-Hasan who is hiding himself
in the house of Abi Khalifa and request him to tell us what Anas bin Malik has told us." So we went to
him and we greeted him and he admitted us. We said to him, "O Abu Sa`id! We came to you from
your brother Anas Bin Malik and he related to us a Hadith about the intercession the like of which I
have never heard." He said, "What is that?" Then we told him of the Hadith and said, "He stopped at
this point (of the Hadith)." He said, "What then?" We said, "He did not add anything to that." He said,
Anas related the Hadith to me twenty years ago when he was a young fellow. I don't know whether he
forgot or if he did not like to let you depend on what he might have said." We said, "O Abu Sa`id ! Let
us know that." He smiled and said, "Man was created hasty. I did not mention that, but that I wanted
to inform you of it.
Anas told me the same as he told you and said that the Prophet (ﷺ) added, 'I then return for a fourth time
and praise Him similarly and prostrate before Him me the same as he 'O Muhammad, raise your head
and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request): and intercede,
for your intercession will be accepted .' I will say, 'O Lord, allow me to intercede for whoever said,
'None has the right to be worshiped except Allah.' Then Allah will say, 'By my Power, and my
Majesty, and by My Supremacy, and by My Greatness, I will take out of Hell (Fire) whoever said:
'None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.' ''
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 97, Hadith 135
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered us to do seven things and forbade us from seven. He ordered us to visit the
sick, to follow funeral processions, (to say) to a sneezer, (May Allah bestow His Mercy on you, if he
says, Praise be to Allah), to accept invitations, to greet (everybody), to help the oppressed and to help
others to fulfill their oaths. He forbade us to wear gold rings, to drink in silver (utensils), to use
Mayathir (silken carpets placed on saddles), to wear Al-Qissi (a kind of silken cloth), to wear silk,
Dibaj or Istabraq (two kinds of silk).
