That 'Abd Allah b. Abbas, 'Abd al-Rahman b. Azhar and al-Miswar b. Makhramah sent him to 'Aishah, wife of the Prophet (ﷺ). They said: Convey our regards to her from all of us and ask her about the two rak'ahs after the 'Asr prayer, and tell her that we have been informed that she prays them, and we are told that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited them. I entered upon her and told her that for which they had sent me to her. She said: Ask Umm Salamah. I returned to them (Ibn 'Abbas and others) and informed them about her opinion. They sent me back to Umm Salamah with the same mission for which they had sent me to 'Aishah. Umm Salamah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibiting them, but later on I saw him praying them. When he prayed them, he had offered the 'Asr prayer. He then came to me while a number of women from Banu Haram from the Ansar were sitting with me. He prayed these two rak'ahs. I sent a slave girl to him and I told her: Stand beside him and tell him that Umm Salamah has asked: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I heard you prohibiting these two rak'ahs (after the afternoon prayer) but I see you praying them yourself. If he makes a sign with his hand, step backward from him. The slave girl did so. When he finished prayer, he said: O daughter of Abu Umayyah, you asked about the praying of two rak'ahs after the 'Asr prayer, in fact, some people of 'Abd al-Qais has come to me with the news that their people had embraced Islam. They hindered me from praying the two rak'ahs after Zuhr prayer. It is those two rak'ahs (which I offered after the 'Asr prayer)
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 5, Hadith 24
Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his
father from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, gave hospitality to a kafir guest. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered a
sheep to be brought for him and it was milked. He drank its milk. Then
another came, and he drank it. Then another came and he drank it until
he had drunk the milk of seven sheep. In the morning he became muslim,
and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
ordered a sheep for him. It was milked and he drank its milk. Then he
ordered another for him and he could not finish it. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The mumin
drinks in one intestine, and the kafir drinks in seven intestines."
Muwatta Malik Book 49, Hadith 10
He who alleviates the suffering of a brother out of the sufferings of the world, Allah would alleviate his suffering from the sufferings of the Day of Resurrection, and he who finds relief for one who is hard-pressed, Allah would make things easy for him in the Hereafter, and he who conceals (the faults) of a Muslim, Allah would conceal his faults in the world and in the Hereafter. Allah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother, and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him and those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of Allah (mosques) and recite the Book of Allah and they learn and teach the Qur'an (among themselves) there would descend upon them tranquility and mercy would cover them and the angels would surround them and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him, and he who is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his (high) lineage does not make him go ahead.
Sahih Muslim Book 48, Hadith 48
"Shall I not tell you about the Prophet and I?" We said: "Yes." She said: "When it was my night, he came in, placed his shoes by his feet, lay down his Rida' (upper garment), and spread his Izar (lower garment) on his bed. As soon as he thought that I had gone to sleep, he put his shoes on slowly and picked up his Rida' slowly. Then he opened the door slowly, went out and shut it slowly. I put my garment over my head, covered myself and put on my Izar (lower garment), and I set out after him until he came to Al-Baqi', raised his hands three times and stood there for a long time. Then he left and I left, he hurried and I hurried, he ran and I ran, and I got there before him and entered (the house). I had only just laid down when he came in and said: 'O 'Aishah, why are you out of breath?' (one of the reporters) Sulaiman said: I thought he (Ibn Wahb) said: 'short of breath.' He said: 'Either you tell me or the All-Aware, All-Knowing will tell me.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you;' and I told him the story. He said: 'You were the black shape I saw in front of me?' I said: 'Yes.'" She said: "He gave me a shove in the chest that hurt me and said: 'You thought that Allah and His Messenger would be unfair to you.' She said: 'Whatever people conceal, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, knows it.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Jibril came to me when you saw (me leave) but he did not enter upon you because you have taken off your garments. So he called me but he concealed himself from you, and I answered him but I concealed it from you. I thought that you had gone to sleep and I did not want to wake you and I was afraid that you would feel lonely. He told me to go to Al-Baqi' and pray for forgiveness for them.'"
Hajjaj bin Muhammad contradicted him (Ibn Wahb), he said: "From Ibn Juraij, from Ibn Abi Mulaikah, from Muhammad bin Qais."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 36, Hadith 25
Allah 's Apostle said, "Allah has some angels who look for those who celebrate the Praises of Allah
on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating the Praises of Allah, they call
each other, saying, "Come to the object of your pursuit.' " He added, "Then the angels encircle them
with their wings up to the sky of the world." He added. "(after those people celebrated the Praises of
Allah, and the angels go back), their Lord, asks them (those angels)----though He knows better than
them----'What do My slaves say?' The angels reply, 'They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and
Alham-du-li l-lah, Allah then says 'Did they see Me?' The angels reply, 'No! By Allah, they didn't see
You.'
Allah says, How it would have been if they saw Me?' The angels reply, 'If they saw You, they would
worship You more devoutly and celebrate Your Glory more deeply, and declare Your freedom from
any resemblance to anything more often.' Allah says (to the angels), 'What do they ask Me for?' The
angels reply, 'They ask You for Paradise.' Allah says (to the angels), 'Did they see it?' The angels say,
'No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The
angels say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek It with greater
zeal and would have greater desire for it.' Allah says, 'From what do they seek refuge?' The angels
reply, 'They seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.' Allah says, 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No By
Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.' Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels
say, 'If they saw it they would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from
it.' Then Allah says, 'I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them."' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) added, "One of
the angels would say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just
come for some need.' Allah would say, 'These are those people whose companions will not be reduced
to misery.' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 80, Hadith 103
Regarding His (Allah's) Statement:-- 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to make haste
therewith.' (75.16) And whenever Gabriel descended to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with the Divine Inspiration,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to move his tongue and lips, and that used to be hard for him, and one could
easily recognize that he was being inspired Divinely. So Allah revealed the Verse which occurs in the
Surah starting with "I do swear by the Day of Resurrection.' (75.1) i.e. 'Move not your tongue
concerning (the Qur'an) to make haste then with. It is for Us to collect it (in your mind) (O
Muhammad) an give you the ability to recite it 'by heart.' (75.16-17) which means: It is for us to
collect it (in your mind) and give you the ability to recite it by heart. And when We have recited it to
you (O Muhammad) through Gabriel then follow you its recital. (75.18) means: 'When We reveal it
(the Qur'an) to you, Listen to it.' for then: It is for Us to explain it and make it clear to you' (75.19)
i.e. It is up to Us to explain it through your tongue. So, when Gabriel came to him, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
would listen to him attentively, and as soon as Gabriel left, he would recite the Revelations, as Allah
had promised him.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 66, Hadith 68
"The Prophet (ﷺ) taught us Khutbat Al-Hajah: Alhamduu lillahi nasta'inuhu wa nastagfiruhu, wa na'udhu billahi min shururi anfusina wa sayi'ati a'malina. Man yahdihillahu fala mudilla lahu wa man yudlil fala hadiya lahu. Wa ashhadu an la ilaha illallahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu. (Praise be to Allah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray,and whomsoever Allah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.) Then he recited the following three verses: O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except as Muslims; O Mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him he created his wife, and from them he created many men and women, and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you); O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth.)"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 14, Hadith 41
While I was with my uncle, I heard `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul saying, "Do not spend on those who
are with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), that they may disperse and go away (from him). And if we return to Medina,
surely, the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner. "I mentioned that to my uncle who, in
turn, mentioned it to the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) called me and I told him about that. Then he sent for
`Abdullah bin Ubai and his companions, and they swore that they did not say so. The Prophet (ﷺ)
disbelieved my statement and believed theirs. I was distressed as I have never been before, and I
remained in my house. My uncle said to me, "You just wanted the Prophet (ﷺ) to consider you a liar and
hate you." Then Allah revealed:--
'When the hypocrites come to you, they say: 'We bear witness that you are indeed the Apostle of
Allah." (63.1) So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for me and recited it and said, "Allah has confirmed your
statement."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 424
Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said that he heard Muhammad
ibn al-Munkadir say, "Allah loves his slave who is generous when he
sells, and generous when he buys, generous when he repays, and
generous when he is repaid."
Malik said about a man who
bought camels or sheep or dry goods or slaves or any goods without
measuring precisely, "There is no buying without measuring precisely
in anything which can be counted . "
Malik said about a man
who gave a man goods to sell for him and set their price saying, "If
you sell them for this price as I have ordered you to do, you will
have a dinar (or something which he has specified, which they are both
satisfied with), if you do not sell them, you will have nothing,"
"There is no harm in that when he names a price to sell them at and
names a known fee. If he sells the goods, he takes the fee, and if he
does not sell them, he has nothing."
Malik said, "This is
like saying to another man, 'If you capture my runaway slave or bring
my stray camel, you will have such-and-such.' This is from the
category of reward, and not from the category of giving a wage. Had it
been from the category of giving a wage, it would not be good."
Malik said, "As for a man who is given goods and told that if he
sells them he will have a named percentage for every dinar, that is
not good because whenever he is a dinar less than the price of the
goods, he decreases the due which was named for him. This is an
uncertain transaction. He does not know how much he will be given."
Muwatta Malik Book 31, Hadith 101
The daughter of 'Uthman b. 'Affan died in Mecca. We came to attend her (funeral). Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas were also present there, and I was sitting between them. He added: I (first sat) by the side of one of them, then the other one came and he sat by my side. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar said to 'Amr b. 'Uthman who was sitting opposite to him: Will you not prevent the people from lamenting, for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said:" The dead is punished because of the lamenting of his family for him"? Ibn 'Abbas then said that Umar used to say someting of that nature, and then narrated saying: I proceeded from Mecca along with 'Umar till we reached al-Baida' and there was a party of riders under the shade of a tree. He said (to me): Go and find out who this party is. I cast a glance and there was Suhaib (in that party). So I informed him ('Umar) about it. He said: Call him to me. So I went back to Suhaib and said: Go and meet the Commander of the believers. When 'Umar was wounded, Suhaib came walling: Alas, for the brother! alas for the companion! 'Umar said: O Suhaib, do you wail for me, whereas the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:" The dead would be punished on account of the lamentation of the (members of his family)"? Ibn 'Abbas said: When 'Umar died I made a mention of it to 'A'isha. She said: May Allah have mercy upon 'Umar! I swear by Allah that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never said that Allah would punish the believer because of the weeping (of any one of the members of his family), but he said that Allah would increase the punishment of the unbeliever because of the weeping of his family over him. 'A'isha said: The Qur'an is enough for you (when it states):" No bearer of burden will bear another's burden" (vi. 164). Thereupon Ibn 'Abbas said: Allah is He Who has caused laughter and weeping. Ibn Abu Mulaika said: By Allah, Ibn 'Umar said nothing.
Sahih Muslim Book 11, Hadith 28
Malik said, "I do not see that there is any harm in the Muslims
eating whatever food they come across in enemy territory before the
spoils are divided."
Malik said, "I think that any camels,
cattle and sheep (taken as booty) are considered as food which the
Muslims can eat in enemy territory. If they could not be eaten until
the people had gathered for the division and the spoils had been
distributed among them, that would be harmful for the army. I do not
see any objection to eating such things within acceptable limits. I do
not think, however, that anyone should store up any of it to take back
to his family."
Malik was asked whether it was proper for a
man who obtained food in enemy territory and ate some of it and made
provision so that there was some of it left over to keep and eat with
his family, or to sell before he had come to his country and make use
of its price. He said, "If he sells it while he is on a military
expedition, I think that he should put its price into the booty of the
Muslims. If he takes it back to his country, I see no objection to his
eating it and using it if it is a small insignificant thing."
Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 18
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up on the day of the Conquest of Mecca and said, "Allah has made Mecca a
sanctuary since the day He created the Heavens and the Earth, and it will remain a sanctuary by virtue
of the sanctity Allah has bestowed on it till the Day of Resurrection. It (i.e. fighting in it) was not
made lawful to anyone before me!, nor will it be made lawful to anyone after me, and it was not made
lawful for me except for a short period of time. Its game should not be chased, nor should its trees be
cut, nor its vegetation or grass uprooted, not its Luqata (i.e. Most things) picked up except by one who
makes a public announcement about it." Al-Abbas bin `Abdul Muttalib said, "Except the Idhkhir, O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), as it is indispensable for blacksmiths and houses." On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet and
then said, "Except the Idhkhir as it is lawful to cut."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 344
There was a man who fought most bravely of all the Muslims on behalf of the Muslims in a battle
(Ghazwa) in the company of the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) looked at him and said. "If anyone would like
to see a man from the people of the Fire, let him look at this (brave man)." On that, a man from the
People (Muslims) followed him, and he was in that state i.e., fighting fiercely against the pagans till
he was wounded, and then he hastened to end his life by placing his sword between his breasts (and
pressed it with great force) till it came out between his shoulders. Then the man (who was watching
that person) went quickly to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I testify that you are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ)
asked him, "Why do you say that?" He said, "You said about so-and-so, 'If anyone would like to see a
man from the people of the Fire, he should look at him.' He fought most bravely of all of us on behalf
of the Muslims and I knew that he would not die as a Muslim (Martyr). So when he got wounded, he
hastened to die and committed suicide." There-upon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man may do the deeds of the
people of the Fire while in fact he is one of the people of Paradise, and he may do the deeds of the
people of Paradise while in fact he belongs to the people of Fire, and verily, (the rewards of) the deeds
are decided by the last actions (deeds)".
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 82, Hadith 13
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me along with AzZubair and Al-Miqdad and said, "Proceed till you reach a place
called Raudat-Khakh where there is a lady travelling in a howda on a camel. She has a letter. Take the
letter from her." So we set out, and our horses ran at full pace till we reached Raudat Khakh, and
behold, we saw the lady and said (to her), "Take out the letter!" She said, "I have no letter with me."
We said, "Either you take out the letter or we will strip you of your clothes." So she took the letter out
of her hair braid. We brought the letter to the Prophet (ﷺ) and behold, it was addressed by Hatib bin Abi
Balta'a to some pagans at Mecca, informing them of some of the affairs of the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "What is this, O Hatib?" Hatib replied, "Do not be hasty with me, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I am an
Ansari man and do not belong to them (Quraish infidels) while the emigrants who were with you had
their relatives who used to protect their families and properties at Mecca. So, to compensate for not
having blood relation with them.' I intended to do them some favor so that they might protect my
relatives (at Mecca), and I did not do this out of disbelief or an inclination to desert my religion." The
Prophet then said (to his companions), "He (Hatib) has told you the truth." `Umar said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off?" The Apostle said, "He is one of those who witnessed
(fought in) the Battle of Badr, and what do you know, perhaps Allah looked upon the people of Badr
(Badr warriors) and said, 'Do what you want as I have forgiven you.' " (`Amr, a sub-narrator, said,:
This Verse was revealed about him (Hatib):
'O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends or protectors.' (60.1)
Narrated `Ali: Sufyan was asked whether (the Verse): 'Take not My enemies and your enemies...' was revealed in connection with Hatib. Sufyan replied, "This occurs only in the narration of the people. I memorized the Hadith from `Amr, not overlooking even a single letter thereof, and I do not know of anybody who remembered it by heart other than myself."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 410
Yahya related to me from Malik from Thawr ibn Zayd ad-Dili from
Abu'l-Ghayth Salim, the mawla of ibn Muti that Abu Hurayra said, "We
went out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, in the yearof Khaybar. We did not capture any gold or
silver except for personal effects, clothes, and baggage. Rifaa ibn
Zayd presented a black slave boy to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, whose name was Midam. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, made for Wadi'l-Qura,
and when he arrived there, Midam was unsaddling the camel of the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when a
stray arrow struck and killed him. The people said, 'Good luck to him!
The Garden!' The Messenger of Allah said, 'No! By He in whose hand my
self is! The cloak which he took from the spoils on the Day of Khaybar
before they were distributed will blaze with fire on him.' When the
people heard that, a man brought a sandal-strap or two sandal-straps
to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'A sandal-strap or two sandal-straps of fire!' "
Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 27
