“I was with the Prophet (ﷺ),
and
a man came to him and said: ‘Last night while I was sleeping, I
saw
that I was praying towards the base of a tree. I recited (an Ayah
of)
prostration and prostrated, and the tree prostrated when I did,
and I
heard it saying: Allahummah-tut anni biha wizran, waktub li biha
ajran, waj’al-ha li ‘indaka dhukhran (O Allah, reduce my burden
of sin
thereby, reward me for it and store it for me with You).’
Ibn ‘Abbas
said: “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) recite (an Ayah of)
prostration and
then prostrate, and I heard him saying in his
prostration something
like that which the man had told him the tree
said.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 251
Aban ibn Uthman said: I heard Uthman ibn Affan (his father) say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If anyone says three times: "In the name of Allah, when Whose name is mentioned nothing on Earth or in Heaven can cause harm, and He is the Hearer, the Knower" he will not suffer sudden affliction till the morning, and if anyone says this in the morning, he will not suffer sudden affliction till the evening.
Aban was afflicted by some paralysis and when a man who heard the tradition began to look at him, he said to him: Why are you looking at me? I swear by Allah, I did not tell a lie about Uthman, nor did Uthman tell a lie about the Prophet (ﷺ), but that day when I was afflicted by it, I became angry and forgot to say them.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 43, Hadith 316
Abu `Abdur-Rahman and Hibban bin 'Atiyya had a dispute. Abu `Abdur-Rahman said to Hibban,
"You know what made your companions (i.e. `Ali) dare to shed blood." Hibban said, "Come on! What
is that?" `Abdur-Rahman said, "Something I heard him saying." The other said, "What was it?"
`AbdurRahman said, "`Ali said, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent for me, Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of
us were cavalry men, and said, 'Proceed to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu 'Awana called it
like this, i.e., Hajj where there is a woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans
(of Mecca). So bring that letter to me.' So we proceeded riding on our horses till we overtook her at
the same place of which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had told us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter
Hatib had written to the Meccans about the proposed attached of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) against them. We
asked her, "Where is the letter which is with you?' She replied, 'I haven't got any letter.' So we made
her camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we did not find anything. My two companions
said, 'We do not think that she has got a letter.' I said, 'We know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has not told a
lie.'"
Then `Ali took an oath saying, "By Him by Whom one should swear! You shall either bring out the
letter or we shall strip off your clothes." She then stretched out her hand for her girdle (round her
waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They took the letter to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). `Umar said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his neck!"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Hatib! What obliged you to do what you have done?" Hatib replied, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why (for what reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I intended
to do the (Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my family and property may be protected as there
is none of your companions but has some of his people (relatives) whom Allah urges to protect his
family and property." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He has said the truth; therefore, do not say anything to him
except good." `Umar again said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the
believers; let me chop his neck off!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Isn't he from those who fought the battle of
Badr? And what do you know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to them),
'Do what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?' " On that, `Umar's eyes became flooded with tears
and he said, "Allah and His Apostle know best."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 88, Hadith 21
I was the leader of the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq or (the narrator doubted) I was among the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq that came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). When we reached the Prophet, we did not find him in his house. We found there Aisha, the Mother of the Believers. She ordered that a dish called Khazirah should be prepared for us. It was then prepared. A tray containing dates was then presented to us. (The narrator Qutaybah did not mention the word qina', tray).
Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came. He asked: Has anything been served to you or ordered for you? We replied: Yes, Messenger of Allah. While we were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) we suddenly saw that a shepherd was driving a herd of sheep to their fold. He had with him a newly-born lamb that was crying.
He (the Prophet) asked him: What did it bear, O so and so? He replied: A ewe. He then said: Slaughter for us in its place a sheep. Do not think that we are slaughtering it for you. We have one hundred sheep and we do not want their number to increase. Whenever a ewe is born, we slaughter a sheep in its place.
(The narrator says that the Prophet (ﷺ) used the word la tahsabanna, do not think).
I (the narrator Laqit) then said: Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who has something (wrong) in her tongue, i.e. she is insolent. He said: Then divorce her. I said: Messenger of Allah, she had company with me and I have children from her. He said: Then ask her (to obey you). If there is something good in her, she will do so (obey); and do not beat your wife as you beat your slave-girl.
I said: Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution. He said: Perform ablution in full and make the fingers go through the beard and snuff with water well except when you are fasting.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 1, Hadith 142
" We have entered upon evening and so has the Kingdom of Allah entere d upon evening; praise is due to Allah, there is no god but Allah the One, and there is no partner with Him. O Allah, I beg of Thee the blessing of this night and the blessing of that which lies in it. I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of it and what lies in it. O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from sloth, from decrepitude, from the evil of vanity, from trial of the world, and from torment of the grave." Zubaid, through another chain of transmitters, has narrated on the authority of Abdullah directly this addition:" There is no god but Allah, the One, there is no partner with Him, His is the Sovereignty and to Him is praise due and He is Potent over everything."
