The House was burnt during the time of Yazid b. Muawiya when the people of Syria had fought (in Mecca). And it happened with it (the Ka'ba) what was (in store for it). Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) felt it (in the same state) until the people came in the season (of Hajj). (The idea behind was) that he wanted to exhort them or incite them (to war) against the people of Syria. When the people had arrived he said to them: O people, advise me about the Ka'ba. Should I demolish it and then build it from its very foundation, or should I repair whatever has been damaged of it? Ibn 'Abbas said: An idea has occurred to me according to which I think that you should only repair (the portion which has been) damaged, and leave the House (in that very state in which) people embraced Islam (and leave those very stones in the same state) when people embraced Islam, and over which Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had raised it. Thereupon Ibn Zubair said: It the house of any one of you is burnt, he would not be contented until he had reconstructed it, then what about the House of your Lord (which is far more Important than your house)? I would seek good advice from my Lord thrice and then I would make up (my mind) about this affair. After seeking good advice thrice, he made up his mind to demolish it. The people apprehended that calamity might fall from heaven on those persons who would be first to climb (over the building for the purpose of demolishing it), till one (took up courage, and ascended the roof), and threw down one of its stones. When the people saw no calamity befalling him, they followed him, demolished it until it was razed to the ground. Then Ibn Zubair erected pillars and hung cartains on them (in order to provide facilities to the people for observing the time of its construction). And the walls were raised; and Ibn Zubair said: I heard 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) say that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had observed: If the people had Rot recently (abandoned) unbelief, find I had means enough to reconstruct it, which I had not, I would have definitely excompassed in it five cubits of area from Hijr. And I would also have constructed a door for the people to enter, and a door for their exit. I today have (the means to spend) and I entertain no fearfrom the side of people (that they would protest against this change). So he added five cubits of area from the side of Hatim to it that there appeared (the old) foundation (upon which Hadrat Ibrahim had built the Ka'ba). and the people saw that and it was upon this foundation that the wall was raised. The length of the Ka'ba was eighteen cubits. when addition was made to it (which was in its breadth), then naturally the length appears to be) small (as compared with its breadth). Then addition of ten cubits (of area) was made in its length (also). Two doors were also constructed, one of which (was meant) for entrance and the other one for exit. When Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) was killed, Hajjaj wrote to 'Abd al-Malik (b. Marwan) informing him about it, and telling him that Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) had built (the Ka'ba) on those very foundations (which were laid by Ibrahim) and which reliable persons among the Meccans had seen. 'Abd al-Malik wrote to him: We are not concerned with the censuring of Ibn Zubair in anything. Keep intact the addition made by him in the side of length, and whatever he has added frem the side of Hijr revert to (its previous) foundation, and wall up the door which he had opened. Thus Hajjaj at the command of Abd al-Malik) demolished it (that portion) and rebuilt it on (its previous) foundations.
Sahih Muslim Book 15, Hadith 449
I asked Um Ruman, `Aisha's mother about the accusation forged against `Aisha. She said, "While I
was sitting with `Aisha, an Ansari woman came to us and said, 'Let Allah condemn such-and-such
person.' I asked her, 'Why do you say so?' She replied, 'For he has spread the (slanderous) story.'
`Aisha said, 'What story?' The woman then told her the story. `Aisha asked, 'Have Abu Bakr and
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard about it ?' She said, 'Yes.' `Aisha fell down senseless (on hearing that), and
when she came to her senses, she got fever and shaking of the body. The Prophet (ﷺ) came and asked,
'What is wrong with her?' I said, 'She has got fever because of a story which has been rumored.'
`Aisha got up and said, 'By Allah! Even if I took an oath, you would not believe me, and if I put
forward an excuse, You would not excuse me. My example and your example is just like that example
of Jacob and his sons. Against that which you assert, it is Allah (Alone) Whose Help can be sought.'
(12.18) The Prophet (ﷺ) left and then Allah revealed the Verses (concerning the matter), and on that
`Aisha said, 'Thanks to Allah (only) and not to anybody else."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 62
that he had heard Hudhaifa saying, "Once I was sitting with `Umar and he said, 'Who amongst you
remembers the statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the afflictions?' I said, 'I know it as the Prophet (ﷺ) had
said it.' `Umar said, 'No doubt you are bold.' I said, 'The afflictions caused for a man by his wife,
money, children and neighbor are expiated by his prayers, fasting, charity and by enjoining (what is
good) and forbidding (what is evil).' `Umar said, 'I did not mean that but I asked about that affliction
which will spread like the waves of the sea.' I (Hudhaifa) said, 'O leader of the faithful believers! You
need not be afraid of it as there is a closed door between you and it.' `Umar asked, Will the door be
broken or opened?' I replied, 'It will be broken.' `Umar said, 'Then it will never be closed again.' I was
asked whether `Umar knew that door. I replied that he knew it as one knows that there will be night
before the tomorrow morning. I narrated a Hadith that was free from any misstatement" The subnarrator
added that they deputized Masruq to ask Hudhaifa (about the door). Hudhaifa said, "The door
was `Umar himself."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 9, Hadith 4
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘The likeness of this nation is that of four people:
A
man to whom Allah gives wealth and knowledge, so he acts according
to
his knowledge with regard to his wealth, spending it as it should
be
spent; a man to whom Allah gives knowledge, but he does not give
him
wealth, so he says: “If I had been given (wealth) like this one, I
would have done what (the first man) did.” The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘They will be equal in reward. And a man to whom Allah
gives wealth but does not give knowledge, so he squanders his wealth
and spends it in inappropriate ways; and a man to whom Allah gives
neither knowledge nor wealth, and he says: “If I had (wealth) like
this one, I would do what (the third man) did.” The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘They are equal in their burden (of sin).’”
A
similar report (as above) was narrated from Ibn Abu Kabshah, from
his
father, from the Prophet (ﷺ).
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 37, Hadith 129
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "(The Prophet) Moses was a shy person and used to cover his body completely
because of his extensive shyness. One of the children of Israel hurt him by saying, 'He covers his body
in this way only because of some defect in his skin, either leprosy or scrotal hernia, or he has some
other defect.' Allah wished to clear Moses of what they said about him, so one day while Moses was
in seclusion, he took off his clothes and put them on a stone and started taking a bath. When he had
finished the bath, he moved towards his clothes so as to take them, but the stone took his clothes and
fled; Moses picked up his stick and ran after the stone saying, 'O stone! Give me my garment!' Till he
reached a group of Bani Israel who saw him naked then, and found him the best of what Allah had
created, and Allah cleared him of what they had accused him of. The stone stopped there and Moses
took and put his garment on and started hitting the stone with his stick. By Allah, the stone still has
some traces of the hitting, three, four or five marks. This was what Allah refers to in His Saying:-- "O
you who believe! Be you not like those Who annoyed Moses, But Allah proved his innocence of that
which they alleged, And he was honorable In Allah's Sight." (33.69)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 77
" I came to 'Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As while he was sitting in the shade of Kabah, and the people were gathered around him, and I heard him say: 'While we were with the Messenger of Allah on a journey, we stopped to camp, and some of us were pitching tents, some were competing in shooting arrows, and some were taking the animals out to race them. Then the caller of the Prophet called out: As-Salatu Jamiah (prayer is about to begin). So we gathered, and the Messenger of Allah stood up and addressed us. He said: There has a never been a prophet before me who was not obliged to tell his nation of what he knew was good for them, and to warn against that he knew was bad for them. With regard to Ummah of yours, soundness (of religious commitment) has been placed in its earlier generations, and the last of them will be afflicted with calamities and things that you dislike. Then there will come tribulations which will make the earlier ones pale into significances, and the believer will say: This will be then end of me, then relief will come. Then (more) tribulations will come and the believer will say: this will be the end of me, then relief will come. Whoever would like to be taken far away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, let him die believing in Allah and the Last Day, and let him treat people as he would like to be treated. Whoever pledges to a ruler and gives him the grasp of his hand and the sincerity of his heart, the let him obey him as much as he can, and if another comes and challenges him, let them strike the neck of (i.e., kill) the second one."'
He said: " I drew near to him and said: 'Did you hear the Messenger of Allah say that? He 'Yes, and quoted the Hadith without interruption (in the chain)
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 39, Hadith 43
Malik related to me that Zayd ibn Aslam said, "Usury in the
Jahiliyya was that a man would give a loan to a man for a set term.
When the term was due, he would say, 'Will you pay it off or increase
me?' If the man paid, he took it. If not, he increased him in his debt
and lengthened the term for him ."
Malik said, "The
disapproved of way of doing things about which there is no dispute
among us, is that a man should give a loan to a man for a term, and
then the demander reduce it and the one from whom it is demanded pay
it in advance. To us that is like someone who delays repaying his debt
after it is due to his creditor and his creditor increases his debt."
Malik said, "This is nothing else but usury. No doubt about it."
Malik spoke about a man who loaned one hundred dinars to a man for
two terms. When it was due, the person who owed the debt said to him,
"Sell me some goods, whose price is one hundred dinars in cash for one
hundred and fifty on credit." Malik said, "This transaction is not
good, and the people of knowledge still forbid it."
Malik
said, "This is disapproved of because the creditor himself gives the
debtor the price of what the man sells him, and he defers repayment of
the hundred of the first transaction for the debtor for the term which
is mentioned to him in the second transaction, and the debtor
increases him with fifty dinars for his deferring him. That is
disapproved of and it is not good. It also resembles the hadith of
Zayd ibn Aslam about the transactions of the people of the Jahiliyya.
When their debts were due, they said to the person with the debt,
'Either you pay in full or you increase it.' If they paid, they took
it, and if not they increased debtors in their debts, and extended the
term for them."
Muwatta Malik Book 31, Hadith 84
I was in Syria (having) a circle (of friends). in which was Muslim b. Yasir. There came Abu'l-Ash'ath. He (the narrator) said that they (the friends) called him: Abu'l-Ash'ath, Abu'l-Ash'ath, and he sat down. I said to him: Narrate to our brother the hadith of Ubada b. Samit. He said: Yes. We went out on an expedition, Mu'awiya being the leader of the people, and we gained a lot of spoils of war. And there was one silver utensil in what we took as spoils. Mu'awiya ordered a person to sell it for payment to the people (soldiers). The people made haste in getting that. The news of (this state of affairs) reached 'Ubada b. Samit, and he stood up and said: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbidding the sale of gold by gold, and silver by silver, and wheat by wheat, and barley by barley, and dates by dates, and salt by salt, except like for like and equal for equal. So he who made an addition or who accepted an addition (committed the sin of taking) interest. So the people returned what they had got. This reached Mu'awiya. and he stood up to deliver an address. He said: What is the matter with people that they narrate from the Messenger (ﷺ) such tradition which we did not hear though we saw him (the Holy Prophet) and lived in his company? Thereupon, Ubida b. Samit stood up and repeated that narration, and then said: We will definitely narrate what we heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) though it may be unpleasant to Mu'awiya (or he said: Even if it is against his will). I do not mind if I do not remain in his troop in the dark night. Hammad said this or something like this.
Sahih Muslim Book 22, Hadith 100
I saw that Walid was brought to Uthmin b. 'Affan as he had prayed two rak'ahs of the dawn prayer, and then he said: I make an increase for you. And two men bore witness against him. One of them was Humran who said that he had drunk wine. The second one gave witness that he had seen him vomiting. Uthman said: He would not have vomited (wine) unless he had drunk it. He said: 'Ali, stand up and lash him. 'Ali said: Hasan, stand up and lash him. Thereupon Hasan said: Let him suffer the heat (of Caliphate) who has enjoyed its coolness. ('Ali felt annoyed at this remark) and he said: 'Abdullah b. Ja'far, stand up and flog him, and he began to flog him and 'Ali counted the stripes until these were forty. He (Hadrat 'Ali) said: Stop now, and then said: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) gave forty stripes, and Abu Bakr also gave forty stripes, and Umar gave eighty stripes, and all these fall under the category of the Sunnab, but this one (forty stripes) is dearer to me.
Sahih Muslim Book 29, Hadith 60
We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) from Mecca making for Medina. When we were near Azwara', he alighted, then raised his hands, and made supplication to Allah for a time, after which he prostrated himself, remaining a long time in prostration. Then he stood up and raised his hands for a time, after which he prostrated himself, remaining a long time in prostration.
He then stood up and raised his hands for a time, after which he prostrated himself. Ahmad mentioned it three times.
He then said: I begged my Lord and made intercession for my people, and He gave me a third of my people, so I prostrated myself in gratitude to my Lord. Then I raised my head and begged my Lord for my people, and He gave me a third of my people, so I prostrated myself in gratitude to my Lord. Then I raised my head and begged my Lord for my people and He gave me the remaining third, so I prostrated myself in gratitude to my Lord.
Abu Dawud said: When Ahmad b. Salih narrated this tradition to us, he omitted the name of Ash'ath b. Ishaq, but Musa b. Sahl al-Ramli narrated it to us through him.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 15, Hadith 299
“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
illallahul-Halimul-
Karim. Subhan-Allahi Rabbil-‘arshil-‘azim.
Al-hamdu Lillahi
Rabbil-‘Alamin. Allahumma inni as’aluka mujibat

Generous. Glory is to
Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. Praise is
to Allah, the Lord 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.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 582
When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to perform `Umra in the month of Dhul-Qada, the people of Mecca did not
let him enter Mecca till he settled the matter with them by promising to stay in it for three days only.
When the document of treaty was written, the following was mentioned: 'These are the terms on
which Muhammad, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) agreed (to make peace).' They said, "We will not agree to this, for
if we believed that you are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) we would not prevent you, but you are Muhammad bin
`Abdullah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and also Muhammad bin `Abdullah." Then he
said to `Ali, "Rub off (the words) 'Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)' ", but `Ali said, "No, by Allah, I will never rub off
your name." So, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took the document and wrote, 'This is what Muhammad bin
`Abdullah has agreed upon: No arms will be brought into Mecca except in their cases, and nobody
from the people of Mecca will be allowed to go with him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ) even if he wished to
follow him and he (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) will not prevent any of his companions from staying in Mecca if the
latter wants to stay.' When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered Mecca and the time limit passed, the Meccans went to
`Ali and said, "Tell your Friend (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ) to go out, as the period (agreed to) has passed." So,
the Prophet (ﷺ) went out of Mecca. The daughter of Hamza ran after them (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) and his
companions), calling, "O Uncle! O Uncle!" `Ali received her and led her by the hand and said to
Fatima, "Take your uncle's daughter." Zaid and Ja`far quarreled about her. `Ali said, "I have more
right to her as she is my uncle's daughter." Ja`far said, "She is my uncle's daughter, and her aunt is my
wife." Zaid said, "She is my brother's daughter." The Prophet (ﷺ) judged that she should be given to her
aunt, and said that the aunt was like the mother. He then said to 'All, "You are from me and I am from
you", and said to Ja`far, "You resemble me both in character and appearance", and said to Zaid, "You
are our brother (in faith) and our freed slave."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 53, Hadith 9
My father got me married to a lady of a noble family, and often used to ask my wife about me, and she
used to reply, "What a wonderful man he is! He never comes to my bed, nor has he approached me
since he married me." When this state continued for a long period, my father told the story to the
Prophet who said to my father, "Let me meet him." Then I met him and he asked me, "How do you
fast?" I replied, "I fast daily," He asked, "How long does it take you to finish the recitation of the
whole Qur'an?" I replied, "I finish it every night." On that he said, "Fast for three days every month
and recite the Qur'an (and finish it) in one month." I said, "But I have power to do more than that." He
said, "Then fast for three days per week." I said, "i have the power to do more than that." He said,
"Therefore, fast the most superior type of fasting, (that is, the fasting of (prophet) David who used to
fast every alternate day; and finish the recitation of the whole Qur'an In seven days." I wish I had
accepted the permission of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as I have become a weak old man. It is said that `Abdullah
used to recite one-seventh of the Qur'an during the day-time to some of his family members, for he
used to check his memorization of what he would recite at night during the daytime so that it would be
easier for him to read at night. And whenever he wanted to gain some strength, he used to give up
fasting for some days and count those days to fast for a similar period, for he disliked to leave those
things which he used to do during the lifetime of the Prophet.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 66, Hadith 77
"While we were with the Messenger of Allah in the early hours of the morning, some people came who were naked and barefoot, with their swords hung (around their necks). Most of them, may all of them, belonged to the tribe of Mudar. The face of the Messenger of Allah changed when he saw them in poverty. He went in (to his house) then he came out and ordered Bilah to call the Adhan and then the Iqamah. He (the Prophet) prayed, tjem je addressed te,, (reciting the Verses): 'O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him(Adam) He created his wife Then they gave in charity, some giving a Dinar, others a Dirham, or a garment, or a Sa' of wheat or, a Sa' of dates, until he said: 'Even half a date.' A man from among the Ansar came with a bag of money which his hands could hardly lift. The people followed one another (in giving charity) until I saw two heaps of food and clothing, and I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah shining like gold (with joy). The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever sets a good precedent in Islam, he will have the reward for that, and the reward of those who acted in accordance with it, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest. And whoever sets an evil precedent in Islam, he will have a burden of sin for that, and the burden of those who acted in accordance with it, without that detracting from their burden in the slightest."'
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 23, Hadith 120
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Hazim ibn Dinar from Said
ibn al-Musayyab that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, forbade the sale with uncertainty in it.
Malik said, "An example of one type of uncertain transaction and risk
is that a man intends the price of a stray animal or escaped slave to
be fifty dinars. A man says, 'I will take him from you for twenty
dinars.' If the buyer finds him, thirty dinars goes from the seller,
and if he does not find him, the seller takes twenty dinars from the
buyer."
Malik said, "There is another fault in that. If that
stray is found, it is not known whether it will have increased or
decreased in value or what defects may have befallen it. This
transaction is greatly uncertain and risky."
Malik said,
"According to our way of doing things, one kind of uncertain
transaction and risk is selling what is in the wombs of females -
women and animals - because it is not known whether or not it will
come out, and if it does come out, it is not known whether it will be
beautiful or ugly, normal or disabled, male or female. All that is
disparate. If it has that, its price is such-and-such, and if it has
this, its price is such-and-such."
Malik said, "Females must
not be sold with what is in their wombs excluded. That is that, for
instance, a man says to another, 'The price of my sheep which has much
milk is three dinars. She is yours for two dinars while I will have
her future offspring.' This is disapproved because it is an uncertain
transaction and a risk."
Malik said, "It is not halal to sell
olives for olive oil or sesame for sesame oil, or butter for ghee
because muzabana comes into that, because the person who buys the raw
product for something specified which comes from it, does not know
whether more or less will come out of that, so it is an uncertain
transaction and a risk."
Malik said, "A similar case is the
selling of ben-nuts for ben-nut oil. This is an uncertain transaction
because what comes from the ben-nut is ben-oil. There is no harm in
selling ben-nuts for perfumed ben because perfumed ben has been
perfumed, mixed and changed from the state of raw ben-nut oil."
Malik, speaking about a man who sold goods to a man on the
provision that there was to be no loss for the buyer, (i.e. if the
buyer could not re-sell the goods they could go back to the seller),
said, "This transaction is not permitted and it is part of risk. The
explanation of why it is so, is that it is as if the seller hired the
buyer for the profit if the goods make a profit. If he sells the stock
at a loss, he has nothing, and his efforts are not compensated. This
is not good. In such a transaction, the buyer should have a wage
according to the work that he has contributed. Whatever there is of
loss or profit in those goods is for and against the seller. This is
only when the goods are gone and sold. If they do not go, the
transaction between them is null and void."
Malik said, "As
for a man who buys goods from a man and he concludes the sale and then
the buyer regrets and asks to have the price reduced and the seller
refuses and says, 'Sell it and I will compensate you for any loss.'
There is no harm in this because there is no risk. It is something he
proposes to him, and their transaction was not based on that. That is
what is done among us."
Muwatta Malik Book 31, Hadith 75
that Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari said: "One day the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us and said: "While I was sleeping I had a vision as if Jibra'il was at my feet. One of them said to his companion: 'Make a parable for him' so he said: 'Listen so that your ears may hear. Hearken so that your heart may understand! The parable of you and your Ummah is but the parable of a king who conquers a land, then he constructs a house in it. Then he places a table-spread in it, then he sends a messenger to call the people to eat from it. Among them are those who answer the call of the messenger, and among them are those who forsake it. So Allah is the king and the land is Islam, and the house is Paradise, and you O Muhammad! You are the Messenger, so whoever responds to you he enters Islam, and whoever enters Islam he enters Paradise, and whoever enters Paradise, he shall eat of what is in it.'"
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 44, Hadith 2
(One night) I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimuna, and said to myself, "I will watch the
prayer of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) " My aunt placed a cushion for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he slept on it in its
length-wise direction and (woke-up) rubbing the traces of sleep off his face and then he recited the last
ten Verses of Surat-al-`Imran till he finished it. Then he went to a hanging water skin and took it,
performed the ablution and then stood up to offer the prayer. I got up and did the same as he had done,
and stood beside him. He put his hand on my head and held me by the ear and twisted it. He offered
two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, and
finally the witr (i.e. one rak`a) prayer.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 92
