(When) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (wished to invoke curse or blessing on someone, he would do so at the end) of the recitation in the dawn prayer, when he had pronounced Allah-o-Akbar (for bending) and then lifted his head (saying):" Allah listened to him who praised Him; our Lord! to Thee is all praise" ; he would then stand up and say:" Rescue al-Walid b. Walid, Salama b. Hisham, and 'Ayyash b. Abd Rabi'a, and the helpless among the Muslims. O Allah! trample severely Mudar and cause them a famine (which broke out at the time) of Joseph. O Allah! curse Lihyan, Ri'l, Dhakwan, 'Usayya, for they disobeyed Allah and His Messenger." (The narrator then adds): The news reached us that he abandoned (this) when this verse was revealed:" Thou but no concern in the matter whether He turns to them (mercifully) or chastises them; surely they are wrongdoers" (ill. 127)
Sahih Muslim Book 5, Hadith 373
“When the Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) appointed me as governor of Ta’if, I began to get
confused during my prayer, until I no longer knew what I was doing.
When I noticed that, I travelled to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and
he said: ‘The son of Abul-‘As?’ I said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of
Allah.’
He said: ‘What brings you here?’ He said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah, I get
confused during my prayer, until I do not
know what I am doing.’ He
said: ‘That is Satan. Come here.’ So
I came close to him, and sat upon
the front part of my feet then he
struck my chest with his hand and
put some spittle in my mouth and
said: ‘Get out, O enemy of Allah!’ He
did that three times, then
he said: ‘Get on with your work.’” ‘Uthman
said: “Indeed, I
never felt confused (during my prayer) after that.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 31, Hadith 113
A black lady slave of some of the 'Arabs embraced Islam and she had a hut in the mosque. She used to
visit us and talk to us, and when she finished her talk, she used to say: "The day of the scarf was one
of our Lord's wonders: Verily! He has delivered me from the land of Kufr." When she said the above
verse many times, I (i.e. `Aisha) asked her, "What was the day of the scarf?" She replied, "Once the
daughter of some of my masters went out and she was wearing a leather scarf (round her neck) and the
leather scarf fell from her and a kite descended and picked it up, mistaking it for a piece of meat. They
(i.e. my masters) accused me of stealing it and they tortured me to such an extent that they even
looked for it in my private parts. So, while they all were around me, and I was in my great distress,
suddenly the kite came over our heads and threw the scarf, and they took it. I said to them 'This is
what you accused me of stealing, though I was innocent."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 63, Hadith 60
"When Abu Bakr mobilized to fight them, 'Umar said: 'O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy or worship except Allah). Whoever says La ilaha illallah, his life and his property are safe from me, except for its right, and his reckoning will be with Allah?'" Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with me him, said: 'By Allah, I will surely fight those who separate prayer and Zakah, for Zakah is what is due on wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from me a small she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) I will fight them for withholding it.' ('Umar said) 'By Allah, when I realized that Allah, the Most High, had opened the chest of Abu Bakr to fighting them, then I knew that it was the truth.'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 25, Hadith 9
Malik was asked whether someone who went into a mosque to do
itikaf for the last ten days of Ramadan and stayed there for a day or
two but then became ill and left the mosque, had to do itikaf for the
number of days that were left from the ten, or not, and if he did have
to do so, then what month should he do it in, and he replied, "He
should make up whatever he has to do of the itikaf when he recovers,
whether in Ramadan or otherwise. I have heard that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, once wanted to do
itikaf in Ramadan, but then came back without having done so, and then
when Ramadan had gone, he did itikaf for ten days in Shawwal.
Some one who does itikaf voluntarily in Ramadan and some one who has
to do itikaf are in the same position regarding what is halal for them
and what is haram. I have not heard that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, ever did itikaf other than
voluntarily."
Malik said, that if a woman did itikaf and then
menstruated during her itikaf, she went back to her house, and, when
she was pure again she returned to the mosque, at whatever time it was
that she became pure. She then continued her itikaf from where she
left off. This was the same situation as with a woman who had to fast
two consecutive months, and who menstruated and then became pure. She
then continued the fast from where she had left off and did not delay
doing so.
Muwatta Malik Book 19, Hadith 8
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn
al-Musayyab was asked whether a man who had vowed to fast a month
could fast voluntarily, and Said said, "He should fulfil his vow
before he does any voluntary fasting."
Malik said, "I have
heard the same thing from Sulayman ibn Yasar."
Malik said,
"If someone dies with an unfulfilled vow to free a slave or to fast or
to give sadaqa or to give away a camel, and makes a bequest that his
vow should be fulfilled from his estate, then the sadaqa or the gift
of the camel are taken from one third of his estate. Preference is
given to it over other bequests, except things of a similar nature,
because by his vow it has become incumbent on him, and this is not the
case with something he donates voluntarily. They (vows and voluntary
donations) are settled from a limited one-third of his estate, and not
from the whole of it, since if the dying man were free to dispose of
all of his estate, he might delay settling what had become incumbent
on him (i.e. his vows), so that when death came and the estate passed
into the hands of his heirs, he would have bequeathed such things
(i.e. his vows) that were not claimed by anyone (like debts). If that
(i.e. to dispose freely of his property) were allowed him, he would
delay these things (i.e. his vows) until when he was near death, he
would designate them and they might take up all of his estate. He must
not do that."
Muwatta Malik Book 18, Hadith 45
"One day, the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) led us in Salat Al-Asr while it was still daytime. Then he stood to give us a Khutbah. He did not leave anything that would happen until the Hour of Judgement except that he informed us about it. Whoever remembered it remembered it, and whoever forgot it forgot it. Among what he said was: 'Indeed the world is green and sweet, and indeed Allah has left you to remain to see how you behave. So beware of the world, and beware of the women.' And among what he said was: 'The awe(status) of people should not prevent a man from saying the truth when he knows it."'He(one of the narrators) said: "Abu Sa'eed wept, then he said: 'By Allah! We have seen things and we feared."' "And among what he said in it, was : 'Indeed, for every treacherous person there shall be a banner erected on The Day Of Resurrection in proportion to his treachery. And there is no treachery greater than the treachery of a leader to the masses' whose banner shall be positioned at his buttocks.' And among what we remember from that day is: 'Behold! Indeed the children of Adam were created in various classes. Among them is he who was born a believer, lives as a believer, and dies a believer. Among them, is he who was born a disbeliever, lives as a disbeliever, and dies a disbeliever. Among them, is he who was born a believer, lives as a believer, and dies a disbeliever. Among them, is he who was born a disbeliever, lives as a disbeliever, and dies a believer. Behold! Among them is the slow to get angry, the quick to calm. Among them is the quick anger and the quick to calm, so this is with that. Behold! Among them is the quick get angry and the slow to calm, and indeed the best of them is the slow to get angry and the quick to calm, and the worst of them is the quick get angry and the slow to calm. Behold! Among them is he who pays back well and collects well. Among them is he who is bad with paying back and good when collecting. Among them is he who pays back well and is bad with collecting, so this is with that. Behold! Among them is he who is bad with paying back and bad with collecting. Indeed the best of them is the one who is good in paying back and good in collecting. And the worst of them is the one who is bad with paying back and bad with collecting. Behold! Anger is an ember in the heart of the son of Adam, as you see it in the redness of his eyes and the bulge of his jugular veins. So whoever senses something from that, then let him cling to the ground."'
He said: "So we began turning towards the sun to see if anything of it remained(meaning whether it has set or not). So the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: 'Behold! The world, in relation to what has passed of it, shall not remain except as what remains of this day of yours, in relation to what has passed of it."'
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 33, Hadith 34
That she asked the Prophet (ﷺ) , 'Have you encountered a day harder than the day of the battle) of Uhud?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Your tribes have troubled me a lot, and the worse trouble was the trouble on the
day of 'Aqaba when I presented myself to Ibn `Abd-Yalail bin `Abd-Kulal and he did not respond to
my demand. So I departed, overwhelmed with excessive sorrow, and proceeded on, and could not
relax till I found myself at Qarnath-Tha-alib where I lifted my head towards the sky to see a cloud
shading me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw Gabriel in it. He called me saying, 'Allah has heard
your people's saying to you, and what they have replied back to you, Allah has sent the Angel of the
Mountains to you so that you may order him to do whatever you wish to these people.' The Angel of
the Mountains called and greeted me, and then said, "O Muhammad! Order what you wish. If you
like, I will let Al-Akh-Shabain (i.e. two mountains) fall on them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No but I hope
that Allah will let them beget children who will worship Allah Alone, and will worship None besides
Him."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 59, Hadith 42
(whose narrations attest each other) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out at the time of Al-Hudaibiya (treaty), and
when they proceeded for a distance, he said, "Khalid bin Al-Walid leading the cavalry of Quraish
constituting the front of the army, is at a place called Al-Ghamim, so take the way on the right." By
Allah, Khalid did not perceive the arrival of the Muslims till the dust arising from the march of the
Muslim army reached him, and then he turned back hurriedly to inform Quraish. The Prophet (ﷺ) went on
advancing till he reached the Thaniya (i.e. a mountainous way) through which one would go to them
(i.e. people of Quraish). The she-camel of the Prophet (ﷺ) sat down. The people tried their best to cause
the she-camel to get up but in vain, so they said, "Al-Qaswa' (i.e. the she-camel's name) has become
stubborn! Al-Qaswa' has become stubborn!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Al-Qaswa' has not become stubborn,
for stubbornness is not her habit, but she was stopped by Him Who stopped the elephant." Then he
said, "By the Name of Him in Whose Hands my soul is, if they (i.e. the Quraish infidels) ask me
anything which will respect the ordinances of Allah, I will grant it to them."
The Prophet (ﷺ) then rebuked the she-camel and she got up. The Prophet (ﷺ) changed his way till he
dismounted at the farthest end of Al-Hudaibiya at a pit (i.e. well) containing a little water which the
people used in small amounts, and in a short while the people used up all its water and complained to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ); of thirst. The Prophet (ﷺ) took an arrow out of his arrow-case and ordered them to put the
arrow in that pit. By Allah, the water started and continued sprouting out till all the people quenched
their thirst and returned with satisfaction. While they were still in that state, Budail bin Warqa-al-
Khuza`i came with some persons from his tribe Khuza`a and they were the advisers of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
who would keep no secret from him and were from the people of Tihama. Budail said, "I left Ka`b bin
Luai and 'Amir bin Luai residing at the profuse water of Al-Hudaibiya and they had milch camels (or
their women and children) with them, and will wage war against you, and will prevent you from
visiting the Ka`ba."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We have not come to fight anyone, but to perform the `Umra. No doubt, the war
has weakened Quraish and they have suffered great losses, so if they wish, I will conclude a truce with
them, during which they should refrain from interfering between me and the people (i.e. the 'Arab
infidels other than Quraish), and if I have victory over those infidels, Quraish will have the option to
embrace Islam as the other people do, if they wish; they will at least get strong enough to fight. But if
they do not accept the truce, by Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I will fight with them defending my
Cause till I get killed, but (I am sure) Allah will definitely make His Cause victorious." Budail said, "I
will inform them of what you have said." So, he set off till he reached Quraish and said, "We have
come from that man (i.e. Muhammad) whom we heard saying something which we will disclose to
you if you should like." Some of the fools among Quraish shouted that they were not in need of this
information, but the wiser among them said, "Relate what you heard him saying." Budail said, "I
heard him saying so-and-so," relating what the Prophet (ﷺ) had told him.
`Urwa bin Mas`ud got up and said, "O people! Aren't you the sons? They said, "Yes." He added, "Am
I not the father?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Do you mistrust me?" They said, "No." He said, "Don't
you know that I invited the people of `Ukaz for your help, and when they refused I brought my
relatives and children and those who obeyed me (to help you)?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Well, this
man (i.e. the Prophet) has offered you a reasonable proposal, you'd better accept it and allow me to
meet him." They said, "You may meet him." So, he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and started talking to him.
The Prophet (ﷺ) told him almost the same as he had told Budail. Then `Urwa said, "O Muhammad! Won't
you feel any scruple in extirpating your relations? Have you ever heard of anyone amongst the Arabs
extirpating his relatives before you? On the other hand, if the reverse should happen, (nobody will aid
you, for) by Allah, I do not see (with you) dignified people, but people from various tribes who would
run away leaving you alone." Hearing that, Abu Bakr abused him and said, "Do you say we would run
and leave the Prophet (ﷺ) alone?" `Urwa said, "Who is that man?" They said, "He is Abu Bakr." `Urwa
said to Abu Bakr, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, were it not for the favor which you did to me
and which I did not compensate, I would retort on you." `Urwa kept on talking to the Prophet (ﷺ) and
seizing the Prophet's beard as he was talking while Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba was standing near the head
of the Prophet, holding a sword and wearing a helmet. Whenever `Urwa stretched his hand towards
the beard of the Prophet, Al-Mughira would hit his hand with the handle of the sword and say (to
`Urwa), "Remove your hand from the beard of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." `Urwa raised his head and asked,
"Who is that?" The people said, "He is Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba." `Urwa said, "O treacherous! Am I not
doing my best to prevent evil consequences of your treachery?"
Before embracing Islam Al-Mughira was in the company of some people. He killed them and took
their property and came (to Medina) to embrace Islam. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him, "As regards your
Islam, I accept it, but as for the property I do not take anything of it. (As it was taken through treason).
`Urwa then started looking at the Companions of the Prophet. By Allah, whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it
on his face and skin; if he ordered them they would carry his orders immediately; if he performed
ablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke to him, they would
lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect. `Urwa returned to his
people and said, "O people! By Allah, I have been to the kings and to Caesar, Khosrau and An-
Najashi, yet I have never seen any of them respected by his courtiers as much as Muhammad is
respected by his companions.
By Allah, if he spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions)
who would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered them, they would carry out his order immediately;
if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke, they
would lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect." `Urwa added, "No
doubt, he has presented to you a good reasonable offer, so please accept it." A man from the tribe of
Bani Kinana said, "Allow me to go to him," and they allowed him, and when he approached the
Prophet and his companions, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "He is so-and-so who belongs to the tribe that
respects the Budn (i.e. camels of the sacrifice).
So, bring the Budn in front of him." So, the Budn were brought before him and the people received
him while they were reciting Talbiya. When he saw that scene, he said, "Glorified be Allah! It is not
fair to prevent these people from visiting the Ka`ba." When he returned to his people, he said, 'I saw
the Budn garlanded (with colored knotted ropes) and marked (with stabs on their backs). I do not think
it is advisable to prevent them from visiting the Ka`ba." Another person called Mikraz bin Hafs got up
and sought their permission to go to Muhammad, and they allowed him, too. When he approached the
Muslims, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Here is Mikraz and he is a vicious man." Mikraz started talking to the
Prophet and as he was talking, Suhail bin `Amr came.
When Suhail bin `Amr came, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Now the matter has become easy." Suhail said to the
Prophet "Please conclude a peace treaty with us." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) called the clerk and said to him,
"Write: By the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful." Suhail said, "As for
'Beneficent,' by Allah, I do not know what it means. So write: By Your Name O Allah, as you used to
write previously." The Muslims said, "By Allah, we will not write except: By the Name of Allah, the
most Beneficent, the most Merciful." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Write: By Your Name O Allah." Then he
dictated, "This is the peace treaty which Muhammad, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has concluded." Suhail said, "By
Allah, if we knew that you are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) we would not prevent you from visiting the Ka`ba, and
would not fight with you. So, write: "Muhammad bin `Abdullah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah! I am
Apostle of Allah even if you people do not believe me. Write: Muhammad bin `Abdullah."
(Az-Zuhri said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) accepted all those things, as he had already said that he would accept
everything they would demand if it respects the ordinance of Allah, (i.e. by letting him and his
companions perform `Umra.)" The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Suhail, "On the condition that you allow us to visit
the House (i.e. Ka`ba) so that we may perform Tawaf around it." Suhail said, "By Allah, we will not
(allow you this year) so as not to give chance to the 'Arabs to say that we have yielded to you, but we
will allow you next year." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) got that written.
Then Suhail said, "We also stipulate that you should return to us whoever comes to you from us, even
if he embraced your religion." The Muslims said, "Glorified be Allah! How will such a person be
returned to the pagans after he has become a Muslim? While they were in this state Abu- Jandal bin
Suhail bin `Amr came from the valley of Mecca staggering with his fetters and fell down amongst the
Muslims. Suhail said, "O Muhammad! This is the very first term with which we make peace with you,
i.e. you shall return Abu Jandal to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The peace treaty has not been written yet."
Suhail said, "I will never allow you to keep him." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, do." He said, "I won't do.:
Mikraz said, "We allow you (to keep him)." Abu Jandal said, "O Muslims! Will I be returned to the
pagans though I have come as a Muslim? Don't you see how much I have suffered?"
(continued...)
(continuing... 1): -3.891:... ...
Abu Jandal had been tortured severely for the Cause of Allah. `Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "I went to
the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'Aren't you truly the Messenger of Allah?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Yes, indeed.' I said,
'Isn't our Cause just and the cause of the enemy unjust?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why should we be
humble in our religion?' He said, 'I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and I do not disobey Him, and He will make
me victorious.' I said, 'Didn't you tell us that we would go to the Ka`ba and perform Tawaf around it?'
He said, 'Yes, but did I tell you that we would visit the Ka`ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'So you
will visit it and perform Tawaf around it?' " `Umar further said, "I went to Abu Bakr and said, 'O Abu
Bakr! Isn't he truly Allah's Prophet?' He replied, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why should we be humble in our
religion?' He said, 'Indeed, he is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he does not disobey his Lord, and He will make
him victorious. Adhere to him as, by Allah, he is on the right.' I said, 'Was he not telling us that we
would go to the Ka`ba and perform Tawaf around it?' He said, 'Yes, but did he tell you that you would
go to the Ka`ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, "You will go to Ka`ba and perform Tawaf around it."
(Az-Zuhri said, " `Umar said, 'I performed many good deeds as expiation for the improper questions I
asked them.' ")
When the writing of the peace treaty was concluded, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to his companions, "Get up
and' slaughter your sacrifices and get your head shaved." By Allah none of them got up, and the
Prophet repeated his order thrice. When none of them got up, he left them and went to Um Salama and
told her of the people's attitudes towards him. Um Salama said, "O the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah! Do you want
your order to be carried out? Go out and don't say a word to anybody till you have slaughtered your
sacrifice and call your barber to shave your head." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) went out and did not talk to anyone
of them till he did that, i.e. slaughtered the sacrifice and called his barber who shaved his head. Seeing
that, the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) got up, slaughtered their sacrifices, and started shaving the heads
of one another, and there was so much rush that there was a danger of killing each other. Then some
believing women came (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ); and Allah revealed the following Divine Verses:--
"O you who believe, when the believing women come to you as emigrants examine them . . ." (60.10)
`Umar then divorced two wives of his who were infidels. Later on Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan married
one of them, and Safwan bin Umaiya married the other. When the Prophet (ﷺ) returned to Medina, Abu
Basir, a new Muslim convert from Quraish came to him. The Infidels sent in his pursuit two men who
said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Abide by the promise you gave us." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) handed him over to them.
They took him out (of the City) till they reached Dhul-Hulaifa where they dismounted to eat some
dates they had with them. Abu Basir said to one of them, "By Allah, O so-and-so, I see you have a
fine sword." The other drew it out (of the scabbard) and said, "By Allah, it is very fine and I have tried
it many times." Abu Basir said, "Let me have a look at it."
When the other gave it to him, he hit him with it till he died, and his companion ran away till he came
to Medina and entered the Mosque running. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw him he said, "This man
appears to have been frightened." When he reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, "My companion has been
murdered and I would have been murdered too." Abu Basir came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), by
Allah, Allah has made you fulfill your obligations by your returning me to them (i.e. the Infidels), but
Allah has saved me from them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Woe to his mother! what excellent war kindler he
would be, should he only have supporters." When Abu Basir heard that he understood that the Prophet (ﷺ)
would return him to them again, so he set off till he reached the seashore. Abu Jandal bin Suhail got
himself released from them (i.e. infidels) and joined Abu Basir. So, whenever a man from Quraish
embraced Islam he would follow Abu Basir till they formed a strong group. By Allah, whenever they
heard about a caravan of Quraish heading towards Sham, they stopped it and attacked and killed them
(i.e. infidels) and took their properties. The people of Quraish sent a message to the Prophet (ﷺ)
requesting him for the Sake of Allah and Kith and kin to send for (i.e. Abu Basir and his companions)
promising that whoever (amongst them) came to the Prophet (ﷺ) would be secure. So the Prophet (ﷺ) sent for
them (i.e. Abu Basir's companions) and Allah I revealed the following Divine Verses:
"And it is He Who Has withheld their hands from you and your hands From them in the midst of
Mecca, After He made you the victorious over them. ... the unbelievers had pride and haughtiness, in
their hearts ... the pride and haughtiness of the time of ignorance." (48.24-26) And their pride and
haughtiness was that they did not confess (write in the treaty) that he (i.e. Muhammad) was the
Prophet of Allah and refused to write: "In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the Most
Merciful," and they (the mushriks) prevented them (the Muslims) from visiting the House (the Ka`bah).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 54, Hadith 19
I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the game killed by a Mi'rad (i.e. a sharp-edged piece of wood or a piece of
wood provided with a sharp piece of iron used for hunting). He said, "If the game is killed with its
sharp edge, eat of it, but if it is killed with its shaft, with a hit by its broad side then the game is
(unlawful to eat) for it has been beaten to death." I asked him about the game killed by a trained
hound. He said, "If the hound catches the game for you, eat of it, for killing the game by the hound, is
like its slaughtering. But if you see with your hound or hounds another dog, and you are afraid that it
might have shared in hunting the game with your hound and killed it, then you should not eat of it,
because you have mentioned Allah's name on (sending) your hound only, but you have not mentioned
it on some other hound.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 72, Hadith 1
From his father: "A women went out during the time of the Prophet (ﷺ) to go to Salat, but she was caught by a man and he had relations with her, so she screamed and he left. Then a man came across her and she said: 'That man has done this and that to me', then she came across a group of Emigrants (Muhajirin) and she said: 'That man did this and that to me.' They went to get the man she thought had relations with her, and they brought him to her. She said: 'Yes, that's him.' So they brought him to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and when he ordered that he be stoned, the man who had relations with her, said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am the one who had relations with her.' So he said to her: 'Go, for Allah has forgiven you.' Then he said some nice words to the man (who was brought). And he said to the man who had relations with her: 'Stone him.' Then he said: 'He has repented a repentance that, if the inhabitants of Al-Madinah had repented with, it would have been accepted from them.'"
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 17, Hadith 37
“The earth was
brought together for me so that I could see the east and the west,
and
I was given two treasures, the yellow (or the red) and the white
–
meaning gold and silver. And it was said to me: ‘Your dominion
will
extend as far as has been shown to you.’ I asked Allah for
three
things: That my nation would not be overwhelmed by famine that
would
destroy them all, and that they would not be rent by schism and
fight
one another, but it was said to me: ‘When I (Allah) issue My
decree it
cannot be revoked. But I will never cause your nation to be
overwhelmed by famine that would destroy them all, and I will not
gather their enemies against them (and destroy them) until they
annihilate one another and kill one another.’ Once they start to
fight
amongst themselves, that will continue until the Day of
Resurrection.
What I fear most for my nation is misguiding leaders.
Some tribes
among my nation will worship idols and some tribes among
my nation
will join the idolaters. Before the Hour comes there will
be nearly
thirty Dajjals (great liars), each of them claiming to be a
Prophet.
But a group among my nation will continue to adhere to the
truth and
be victorious, and those who oppose them will not harm
them, until the
command of Allah comes to pass.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 27
Malik related to me from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman from another
of the ulama of that time that Abu Musa al-Ashari came and asked
permission from Umar ibn al-Khattab to enter. He asked permission
three times, and then went away Umar ibn al-Khattab sent after him and
said, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you come in?" Abu Musa said,
"I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, 'Ask permission to enter three times. If you are given
permission, then enter. If not, go away.' ''Umar said, "Who can
confirm this? If you do not bring me someone to confirm it, I will do
such-and-such to you."
Abu Musa went out until he came to an
assembly in the mosque which was called the Majlis-al-Ansar. He said,
"I told Umar ibn al-Khattab that I heard the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Ask permission three times.
If you are given permission, then enter. If not, go away.' Umar said,
'If you do not bring me someone who can confirm it, I will do such-
and-such to you'. If any of you have heard that, let him come with
me.' " They said to Abu Said al-Khudri, "Go with him". Abu Said was
the youngest of them. He went with him and told Umar ibn al-Khattab
about that."
Umar ibn al-Khattab said to Abu Musa, "I did not
suspect you, but I feared lest people forge sayings of the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
