Abraham did not tell a lie except on three occasion. Twice for the Sake of Allah when he said, "I am
sick," and he said, "(I have not done this but) the big idol has done it." The (third was) that while
Abraham and Sarah (his wife) were going (on a journey) they passed by (the territory of) a tyrant.
Someone said to the tyrant, "This man (i.e. Abraham) is accompanied by a very charming lady." So,
he sent for Abraham and asked him about Sarah saying, "Who is this lady?" Abraham said, "She is my
sister." Abraham went to Sarah and said, "O Sarah! There are no believers on the surface of the earth
except you and I. This man asked me about you and I have told him that you are my sister, so don't
contradict my statement." The tyrant then called Sarah and when she went to him, he tried to take hold
of her with his hand, but (his hand got stiff and) he was confounded. He asked Sarah. "Pray to Allah
for me, and I shall not harm you." So Sarah asked Allah to cure him and he got cured. He tried to take
hold of her for the second time, but (his hand got as stiff as or stiffer than before and) was more
confounded. He again requested Sarah, "Pray to Allah for me, and I will not harm you." Sarah asked
Allah again and he became alright. He then called one of his guards (who had brought her) and said,
"You have not brought me a human being but have brought me a devil." The tyrant then gave Hajar as
a girl-servant to Sarah. Sarah came back (to Abraham) while he was praying. Abraham, gesturing with
his hand, asked, "What has happened?" She replied, "Allah has spoiled the evil plot of the infidel (or
immoral person) and gave me Hajar for service." (Abu Huraira then addressed his listeners saying,
"That (Hajar) was your mother, O Bani Ma-is-Sama (i.e. the Arabs, the descendants of Ishmael,
Hajar's son).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 33
Malik said, "The generally agreed on wayof doing things among us
is that when there are no full siblings with them, half-siblings by
the father take the position of full siblings. Their males are like
the males of the full siblings, and their females are like their
females except in the case where the half-siblings by the mother and
the full siblings share, because they are not offspring of the mother
who joins these."
Malik said, "If there are both full
siblings and half-siblings by the father and there is a male among the
full siblings none of the half-siblings by the father have any
inheritance. If there is one or more females in the full siblings and
there is no male with them, the one full sister gets a half, and the
half sister by the father gets a sixth, completing the two-thirds. If
there is a male with the half-sisters by the father, they have no
share. The people of fixed shares are given their shares and if there
is something left after that it is divided between the half-siblings
by the father. The male has the portion of two females. If there is
nothing left over, they get nothing. If the full siblings consist of
two or more females, they get two-thirds, and the half-sisters by the
father get nothing with them unless there is a half-brother by the
father with them. If there is a half-brother by the father with them,
the people of fixed shares are given their shares and if there is
something left over after that, it is divided between the half-
siblings by the father. The male gets the portion of two females. If
there is nothing left over, they get nothing. Half-siblings by the
mother, full-siblings, and half-siblings by the father, each have a
sixth (when they are onlyone). Two and more share a third. The male
has the same portion as the female. They are in the same position in
it."
Muwatta Malik Book 27, Hadith 6
Some people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said,
"Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the sun when it is not hidden by clouds?" They
replied, "No, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the
moon when it is full and not hidden by clouds?" They replied, No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "So
you will see Him (your Lord) on the Day of Resurrection similarly Allah will gather all the people and
say, 'Whoever used to worship anything should follow that thing. 'So, he who used to worship the sun,
will follow it, and he who used to worship the moon will follow it, and he who used to worship false
deities will follow them; and then only this nation (i.e., Muslims) will remain, including their
hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a shape other than they know and will say, 'I am your Lord.'
They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place; (we will not follow you) till
our Lord comes to us, and when our Lord comes to us, we will recognize Him.
Then Allah will come to then in a shape they know and will say, "I am your Lord.' They will say, '(No
doubt) You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him. Then a bridge will be laid over the (Hell) Fire."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) added, "I will be the first to cross it. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day,
will be 'Allahumma Sallim, Sallim (O Allah, save us, save us!),' and over that bridge there will be
hooks Similar to the thorns of As Sa'dan (a thorny tree). Didn't you see the thorns of As-Sa'dan?" The
companions said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He added, "So the hooks over that bridge will be like the
thorns of As-Sa-dan except that their greatness in size is only known to Allah. These hooks will snatch
the people according to their deeds. Some people will be ruined because of their evil deeds, and some
will be cut into pieces and fall down in Hell, but will be saved afterwards, when Allah has finished the
judgments among His slaves, and intends to take out of the Fire whoever He wishes to take out from
among those who used to testify that none had the right to be worshipped but Allah.
We will order the angels to take them out and the angels will know them by the mark of the traces of
prostration (on their foreheads) for Allah banned the f ire to consume the traces of prostration on the
body of Adam's son. So they will take them out, and by then they would have burnt (as coal), and then
water, called Ma'ul Hayat (water of life) will be poured on them, and they will spring out like a seed
springs out on the bank of a rainwater stream, and there will remain one man who will be facing the
(Hell) Fire and will say, 'O Lord! It's (Hell's) vapor has Poisoned and smoked me and its flame has
burnt me; please turn my face away from the Fire.' He will keep on invoking Allah till Allah says,
'Perhaps, if I give you what you want), you will ask for another thing?' The man will say, 'No, by Your
Power, I will not ask You for anything else.'
Then Allah will turn his face away from the Fire. The man will say after that, 'O Lord, bring me near
the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say (to him), 'Didn't you promise not to ask for anything else? Woe to
you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' The man will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will
say, 'But if I give you that, you may ask me for something else.' The man will say, 'No, by Your
Power. I will not ask for anything else.' He will give Allah his covenant and promise not to ask for
anything else after that. So Allah will bring him near to the gate of Paradise, and when he sees what is
in it, he will remain silent as long as Allah will, and then he will say, 'O Lord! Let me enter Paradise.'
Allah will say, 'Didn't you promise that you would not ask Me for anything other than that? Woe to
you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' On that, the man will say, 'O Lord! Do not make me
the most wretched of Your creation,' and will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will smile and when
Allah will smile because of him, then He will allow him to enter Paradise, and when he will enter
Paradise, he will be addressed, 'Wish from so-and-so.' He will wish till all his wishes will be fulfilled,
then Allah will say, All this (i.e. what you have wished for) and as much again therewith are for you.'
"
Abu Huraira added: That man will be the last of the people of Paradise to enter (Paradise).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 81, Hadith 161
When any one of you intends to go to sleep, he should lie on the bed on his right side and then say:" O Allah. the Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Earth and Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord, and the Lord of evervthina, the Splitter of the grain of corn and the datestone (or fruit kernal), the Revealer of Torah and Injil (Bible) and Criterion (the Holy Qur'an), I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of every- thing Thou art to sieze by the forelock (Thou hast perfect control over it). O Allah, Thou art the First, there is naught before Thee, and Thou art the Last and there is naught after Thee, and Thou art Evident and there is nothing above Thee, and Thou art Innermost and there is nothing beyond Thee. Remove the burden of debt from us and relieve us from want." Abu Salih used to narrate it from Abu Huraira who narrated it from Allah's Apostle (ﷺ).
Sahih Muslim Book 48, Hadith 82
“Peace
be
upon you, abode of believing people. We will join you soon, if
Allah
wills.” Then he said: “Would that we could see our brothers.”
They said: “O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?” He
said:
“You are my Companions. My brothers are those who will come
after me.
I will reach the Cistern ahead of you.” They said: “O
Messenger of
Allah, how will you recognize those of your nation who
have not yet
come?” He said: “If a man has a horse with a blaze
on its forehead and
white feet, don’t you think that he will
recognize it among horses
that are deep black in color?” They said:
“Of course.” He said: “On
the Day of Resurrection they will
come with radiant faces, hands, and
feet, because of the traces of
ablution.” He said: “I will reach the
Cistern ahead of you.”
Then he said: “Men will be driven away from my
Cistern just as
stray camels are driven away. And I will call to them:
‘Come here!’
But it will be said: ‘They changed after you were gone,
and they
kept turning on their heels.’ So I will say: “Be off with
you!”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 37, Hadith 207
"Abu Talib departed to Ash-Sham, and the Prophet (ﷺ) left with him, along with some older men from the Quraish. When they came across the monk they stopped there and began setting up their camp, and the monk came out to them. Before that they used to pass by him and he wouldn't come out nor pay attention to them." He said: "They were setting up their camp when the monk was walking amidst them, until he came and took the hand of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Then he said: 'This is the master of the men and jinn, this is the Messenger of the Lord of the worlds. Allah will raise him as a mercy to the men and jinn.' So some of the older people from the Quraish said: 'What do you know?' He said: 'When you people came along from the road, not a rock nor a tree was left, except that it prostrated, and they do not prostrate except for a Prophet. And I can recognize him by the seal of the Prophethood which is below his shoulder blade, like an apple.' Then he went back, and made them some food, and when he brought it to them, he was tending to the camels. So he said: 'Send for him.' So he came, and there was a cloud over him that was shading him. When he came close to the people, he found that they had beaten him to the tree's shade. So when he sat down, the shade of the tree leaned towards him. He (the monk) said: 'Look at the shade of the tree leaning towards him.'" He said: "So while he was standing over them, telling them not to take him to Rome with him - because if the Romans were to see him, they would recognize him by his description, and they would kill him - he turned, and there were seven people who had come from Rome. So he faced them and said: 'Why have you come?' They said: 'We came because this Prophet is going to appear during this month, and there isn't a road left except that people have been sent to it, and we have been informed of him, and we have been send to this road of yours.' So he said: 'Is there anyone better than you behind you?' They said: 'We only have news of him from this road of yours.' He said: 'Do you think that if there is a matter which Allah wishes to bring about, there is anyone among the people who can turn it away?' They said: 'No.'" He said: "So they gave him their pledge, and they stayed with him. And he said: 'I ask you by Allah, which of you is his guardian?' They said: 'Abu Talib.' So he kept adjuring him until Abu Talib returned him (back to Makkah) and he sent Abu Bakr and Bilal with him. And the monk gave him provisions of Ka'k (a type of bread) and olive oil."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 49, Hadith 16
On the day of a solar eclipse, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up (to offer the eclipse prayer). He recited Takbir,
recited a long recitation (of Holy Verses), bowed a long bowing, and then he raised h is head saying.
"Allah hears him who sends his praises to Him." Then he stayed standing, recited a long recitation
again, but shorter than the former, bowed a long bowing, but shorter than the first, performed a long
prostration and then performed the second rak`a in the same way as he had done the first. By the time
he had finished his prayer with Taslim, the solar eclipse had been over. Then he addressed the people
referring to the solar and lunar eclipses saying, "These are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah, and
they do not eclipse because of anyone's death or life. So, if you see them, hasten for the Prayer."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 59, Hadith 14
that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Indeed Allah commanded Yahya bin Zakariyya with five commandments to abide by, and to command the Children of Isra'il to abide by them. But he was slow in doing so. So 'Eisa said: 'Indeed Allah commanded you with five commandments to abide by and to command the Children of Isra'il to abide by. Either you command them, or I shall command them.' So Yahya said: 'I fear that if you precede me in this, then the earth may swallow me, or I shall be punished.' So he gathered the people in Jerusalem, and they filled and sat upon its balconies. So he said: 'Indeed Allah has commanded me with five commandments to abide by, and to command you to abide by. The first of them is that you worship Allah and not associate anything with him. The parable of the one who associates others with Allah is that of a man who buys a servant with his own gold or silver, then he says to him: "This is my home and this is my business so take care of it and give me the profits." So he takes care of it and gives the profits to someone other than his master. Which of you would live to have a servant like that? And Allah commands you to perform Salat, and when you perform Salat then do not turn away, for Allah is facing the face of His worshipers as long as he does not turn away. And He commands you with fasting. For indeed the parable of fasting, is that of a man in a group with a sachet containing musk. All of them enjoy its fragrance. Indeed the breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the scent of musk. And He commands you to give charity. The parable of that, is a man captured by his enemies, tying his hands to his neck, and they come to him to beat his neck. Then he said: "I can ransom myself from you with a little or a lot" so he ransoms himself from them. And He commands you to remember Allah. For indeed the parable of that, is a man whose enemy quickly tracks him until he reaches an impermeable fortress in which he protects himself from them. This is how the worshiper is; he does not protect himself from Ash-Shaitan except by the remembrance of Allah.'" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "And I command you with five that Allah commanded me: Listening and obeying, Jihad, Hijrah, and the Jama'ah. For indeed whoever parts from the Jama'ah the measure of a hand-span, then he has cast off the yoke of Islam from his neck, unless he returns. And whoever calls with the call of Jahiliyyah then he is from the coals of Hell." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah! Even if he performs Salat and fasts?" So he (ﷺ) said: "Even if he performs Salat and fasts. So call with the call that Allah named you with: Muslims, believers, worshipers of Allah."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 44, Hadith 5
When Abu Talib was on his death bed, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to him and found with him, Abu Jahl and
`Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to
be worshipped except Allah, a sentence with which I will defend you before Allah." On that Abu Jahl
and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said to Abu Talib, "Will you now leave the religion of `Abdul
Muttalib?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on inviting him to say that sentence while the other two kept on
repeating their sentence before him till Abu Talib said as the last thing he said to them, "I am on the
religion of `Abdul Muttalib," and refused to say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.
On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am
forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed:--
'It is not fitting for the Prophet (ﷺ) and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness
for pagans.' (9.113) And then Allah revealed especially about Abu Talib:--'Verily! You (O,
Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will.' (28.56)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 294
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:" We (prophets) do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity." The household of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) will live on the income from these properties, but, by Allah, I will not change the charity of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) from the condition in which it was in his own time. I will do the same with it as the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upun him) himself used to do. So Abu Bakr refused to hand over anything from it to Fatima who got angry with Abu Bakr for this reason. She forsook him and did not talk to him until the end of her life. She lived for six months after the death of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). When she died, her husband. 'Ali b. Abu Talib, buried her at night. He did not inform Abu Bakr about her death and offered the funeral prayer over her himself. During the lifetime of Fatima, 'All received (special) regard from the people. After she had died, he felt estrangement in the faces of the people towards him. So he sought to make peace with Abu Bakr and offer his allegiance to him. He had not yet owed allegiance to him as Caliph during these months. He sent a person to Abu Bakr requesting him to visit him unaccompanied by anyone (disapproving the presence of Umar). 'Umar said to Abu Bakr: BY Allah, you will not visit them alone. Abu Bakr said: What will they do to me? By Allah, I will visit them. And he did pay them a visit alone. 'All recited Tashahhud (as it is done in the beginning of a religious sermon) ; then said: We recognise your moral excellence and what Allah has bestowed upon you. We do not envy the favour (i. e. the Catiphate) which Allah nas conferred upon you; but you have done it (assumed the position of Caliph) alone (without consulting us), and we thought we had a right (to be consulted) on account of our kinship with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He continued to talk to Abu Bakr (in this vein) until the latter's eyes welled up with tears. Then Abd Bakr spoke and said: By Allah, in Whose Hand is my life, the kinship of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is dearer to me than the kinship of my own people. As regards the dispute that has arisen between you and me about these properties, I have not deviated from the right course and I have not given up doing about them what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do. So 'Ali said to Abu Bakr: This aftetnoon is (fixed) for (swearing) allegiance (to you). So when Abu Bakr had finished his Zuhr prayer, he ascended the pulpit and recited Tashahhud, and described the status of 'Ali, his delay in swearing allegiance and the excuse which lie had offered to him (for this delay). (After this) he asked for God's forgiveness. Then 'Ali b. Abu Talib recited the Tashahhud. extolled the merits of Abu Bakr and (said that) his action was nott prompted by any jealousy of Abu Bakr on his part or his refusal to accept the high position which Allah had conferred upon him, (adding: ) But we were of the opinion that we should have a share in the government, but the matter had been decided without taking us into confidence, and this displeased us. (Hence the delay in offering allegiance. The Muslims were pleased with this (explanation) and they said: You have done the right thing. The Muslims were (again) favourably inclined to 'Ali since he adopted the proper course of action.
Sahih Muslim Book 32, Hadith 61
When the news of the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) at Medina reached `Abdullah bin Salam, he went to him
to ask him about certain things, He said, "I am going to ask you about three things which only a
Prophet can answer: What is the first sign of The Hour? What is the first food which the people of
Paradise will eat? Why does a child attract the similarity to his father or to his mother?" The Prophet (ﷺ)
replied, "Gabriel has just now informed me of that." Ibn Salam said, "He (i.e. Gabriel) is the enemy of
the Jews amongst the angels. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "As for the first sign of The Hour, it will be a fire that
will collect the people from the East to the West. As for the first meal which the people of Paradise
will eat, it will be the caudate (extra) lobe of the fish-liver. As for the child, if the man's discharge
proceeds the woman's discharge, the child attracts the similarity to the man, and if the woman's
discharge proceeds the man's, then the child attracts the similarity to the woman."
On this, `Abdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah,
and that you are the Messenger of Allah." and added, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Jews invent such lies as make
one astonished, so please ask them about me before they know about my conversion to I slam . " The
Jews came, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What kind of man is `Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They
replied, "The best of us and the son of the best of us and the most superior among us, and the son of
the most superior among us. "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What would you think if `Abdullah bin Salam should
embrace Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." The Prophet (ﷺ) repeated his question and
they gave the same answer. Then `Abdullah came out to them and said, "I testify that None has the
right to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah!" On this, the Jews
said, "He is the most wicked among us and the son of the most wicked among us." So they degraded
him. On this, he (i.e. `Abdullah bin Salam) said, "It is this that I was afraid of, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 63, Hadith 163
Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam that a man confessed to
fornication in the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, called for a whip, and he was brought a broken whip.
He said, "Above this," and he was brought a new whip whose knots had
not been cut yet. He said, "Below this," and he was brought a whip
which had been used and made flexible. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave the order and he was
flogged. Then he said, "People! The time has come for you to observe
the limits of Allah. Whoever has had any of these ugly things befall
him should cover them up with the veil of Allah. Whoever reveals to us
his wrong action, we perform what is in the Book of Allah against
him."
Muwatta Malik Book 41, Hadith 12
that he was a boy of ten at the time when the Prophet (ﷺ) emigrated to Medina. He added: I served Allah's
Apostle for ten years (the last part of his life time) and I know more than the people about the
occasion whereupon the order of Al-Hijab was revealed (to the Prophet). Ubai b n Ka`b used to ask
me about it. It was revealed (for the first time) during the marriage of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with Zainab bint
Jahsh. In the morning, the Prophet (ﷺ) was a bride-groom of her and he Invited the people, who took their
meals and went away, but a group of them remained with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and they prolonged their
stay. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up and went out, and I too, went out along with him till he came to the lintel
of `Aisha's dwelling place. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) thought that those people had left by then, so he returned,
and I too, returned with him till he entered upon Zainab and found that they were still sitting there and
had not yet gone. The Prophet (ﷺ) went out again, and so did I with him till he reached the lintel of
`Aisha's dwelling place, and then he thought that those people must have left by then, so he returned,
and so did I with him, and found those people had gone. At that time the Divine Verse of Al-Hijab
was revealed, and the Prophet (ﷺ) set a screen between me and him (his family).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 79, Hadith 12
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious
worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I
have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil
(praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of
hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he
grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My
protection (Refuge), I will protect him; (i.e. give him My Refuge) and I do not hesitate to do anything
as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 81, Hadith 91
"I was accompanied by Ibn Sa'eed- either performing Hajj or 'Umrah - the people departed, and he and I were left. When I was alone with him I trembled and felt frightened of him because of what the people were saying about him. When I halted I said to him: 'Put your belongings near that tree.'" "he saw a sheep, took out a cup, and went to milk, it. Then he came to me with some milk and said to me: 'Drink Abu Sa'eed!' But I loathed drinking anything from his hand because of what the people were saying about him. So I said to him: 'It is very hot today, and I would not like to drink milk.' So he said to me: 'O Abu Sa'eed, I think I should take a rope, tie it to the tree, then hang myself because of what the people are saying about me. You see those who may be unaware of some narrations, while you are not unaware of them. You people are the most knowledgeable among the people of the Ahadith of the Messenger of Allah, O people of the Ansar! Did the Messenger of Allah not say: "He is a disbeliever" while I am a Muslim? Did the Messenger of Allah not said: "He is sterile, having no children" while I have left my children behind in Al-Madinah? Did the Messenger of Allah not say: " where he is at this time in the land.' So I said: 'May the rest of your day be but grief.'"
