Abu Dhar (ra) used to say that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While I was at Makkah, the roof of my house was opened and Jibril descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith, and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the heaven. When Jibril reached the nearest heaven, he said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'who is it?' Jibril answered, 'Jibril'. He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Jibril replied, 'Muhammad (ﷺ) is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?', Jibril said, 'Yes'. So, the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven, and there we saw a man sitting with Aswida (a large number of people) of his right and Aswida on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked towards his left he wept. He said (to me), 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son'. I said, 'Who is this man O Jibril?' Jibril replied, 'He is Adam, and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on the right are the people of Paradise, and those on the left are the people of the (Hell) Fire. So, when he looks to the right, he laughs, and when he looks to the left he weeps.' Then Jibril ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and said to the gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven has said, and he opened the gate."
Anas added: Abu Dhar mentioned that Prophet (ﷺ) met Idris, Musa (Moses), 'Isa (Jesus) and Ibrahim (Abraham) over the heavens, but he did not specify their places (i.e., on which heavens each of them was), but he mentioned that he (the Prophet (ﷺ)) had met Adam on the nearest heaven, and Ibrahim on the sixth. Anas said, "When Jibril and the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' the Prophet (ﷺ) asked, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Idris.' " The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "Then I passed by Musa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Musa.' Then I passed by 'Isa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is 'Isa.' Then I passed by the Prophet (ﷺ) Ibrahim who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is Ibrahim'."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas and Abu Haiyya Al-Ansari: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then Jibril ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik state the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on me. When I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Musa who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on them.' On the Musa said to me, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction), for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord and asked for some reduction, and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Musa again and informed him about it, he once more said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord similarly as before, and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Musa and he said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' I again returned to my Lord and He said, 'These are five (Salat-prayers) and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward), for My Word does not change.' I returned to Musa, he again told me to return to my Lord (for further reduction) but I said to him 'I feel shy of asking my Lord now.' Then Jibril took me till we reached Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e., lote tree of utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colors indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small tents (made) of pearls and its earth was musk (a kind of perfume)."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 17
Abu Bakr bought a (camel's) saddle from `Azib, and I carried it for him. `Azib (i.e. my father) asked
Abu Bakr regarding the journey of the migration of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Abu Bakr said, "Close observers
were appointed by our enemies to watch us. So we went out at night and travelled throughout the
night and the following day till it was noon, then we perceived a rock and went towards it, and there
was some shade under it. I spread a cloak I had with me for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and then the Prophet (ﷺ) layed
on it. I went out to guard him and all of a sudden I saw a shepherd coming with his sheep looking for
the same, the shade of the rock as we did, I asked him, 'O boy, to whom do you belong?' He replied, 'I
belong to so-and-so.' I asked him, 'Is there some milk in your sheep?' He replied in the affirmative. I
asked him, 'Will you milk?' He replied in the affirmative. Then he got hold of one of his sheep. I said
to him, 'Remove the dust from its udder.' Then he milked a little milk. I had a water-skin with me
which was tied with a piece of cloth. I had prepared the water-skin for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . So I poured
some water over the milk (container) till its bottom became cold. Then I brought the milk to the
Prophet and said, 'Drink, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) drank till I became pleased. Then we
departed and the pursuers were following us."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 63, Hadith 142
Once there blew a red storm in Kufah that there came a person who had nothing to say but (these words): `Abdullah b. Mas`ud, the Last Hour has come. He (`Abdullah b. Mas`ud) was sitting reclining against something, and he said: The Last Hour would not come until shares of inheritance are not distributed and there is no rejoicing over spoils of war. Then he said pointing towards Syria, with the gesture of his hand like this: The enemy shall muster strength against Muslims and the Muslims will muster strength against them (Syrians). I said: You mean Rome? And he said: Yes, and there would be a terrible fight and the Muslims would prepare a detachment (for fighting unto death) which would not return but victorious. They will fight until night will intervene them; both the sides will return without being victorious and both will be wiped out. The Muslims will again prepare a detachment for fighting unto death so that they may not return but victorious. When it would be the fourth day, a new detachment out of the remnant of the Muslims would be prepared and Allah will decree that the enemy should be routed. And they would fight such a fight the like of which would not be seen, so much so that even if a bird were to pass their flanks, it would fall down dead before reaching the end of them. (There would be such a large scale massacre) that when counting would be done, (only) one out of a hundred men related to one another would be found alive. So what can be the joy at the spoils of such war and what inheritance would be divided! They would be in this very state that they would hear of a calamity more horrible than this. And a cry would reach them: The Dajjal has taken your place among your offspring. They will, therefore, throw away what would be in their hands and go forward sending ten horsemen, as a scouting party. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I know their names and the names of their forefathers and the color of their horses. They will be the best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day or amongst the best horsemen on the surface of the earth on that day.
Sahih Muslim Book 54, Hadith 47
When `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf came to Medina, the Prophet (ﷺ) established a bond of brotherhood
between him and Sa`d bin Ar-Rabi al-Ansari. Sa`d was a rich man, so he said to `Abdur-Rahman, "I
will give you half of my property and will help you marry." `Abdur-Rahman said (to him), "May
Allah bless you in your family and property. Show me the market." So `Abdur-Rahman did not return
from the market) till he gained some dried buttermilk (yogurt) and butter (through trading). He
brought that to his house-hold. We stayed for sometime (or as long as Allah wished), and then
`Abdur-Rahman came, scented with yellowish perfume. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him) "What is this?" He
replied, "I got married to an Ansari woman." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What did you pay her?" He replied,
"A gold stone or gold equal to the weight of a date stone." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Give a wedding
banquet even if with one sheep."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 34, Hadith 3
I visited 'A'isha and asked her to tell about the illness of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She agreed and said: The Apostle (ﷺ) was seriously ill and he asked whether the people had prayed. We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Put some water in the tub for me. We did accordingly and he (the Holy Prophet) took a bath;and, when he was about to move with difficulty, he fainted. When he came round, he again said: Have the people said prayer? We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) again said: Put some water for me in the tub. We did accordingly and he took a bag, but when he was about to move with difficultyhe fainted. When he came round, he asked whether the people had prayed. We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. He said: Put some water for me in the tub. We did accordingly and he took a bath and he was about to move with difficulty when he fainted. When he came roundhe said: Have the people saidprayer? We said: No, they are waiting for you, Messenger of Allah. She ('A'isha) said: The people were staying in the mosque and waiting for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to lead the last (night) prayer. She ('A'isha) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent (instructions) to Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer. When the messenger came, he told him (Abd Bakr): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has ordered you to lead the people in prayer. Abu Bakr who was a man of very tenderly feelings asked Umar to lead the prayer. 'Umar said: You are more entitled to that. Abu Bakr led the prayers during those days. Afterwards the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt some relief and he went out supported by two men, one of them was al-'Abbas, to the noon prayer. Abu Bakr was leading the people in prayer. When Abu Bakr saw him. he began to withdraw, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told him not to withdraw. He told his two (companions) to seat him down beside him (Abu Bakr). They seated him by the side of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr said the prayer standing while following the prayer of the Apostle (ﷺ) and the people Bald prayer (standing) while following the prayer of Abu Bakr. The Apostle (ﷺ) was seated. Ubaidullah said: I visited 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas, and said: Should I submit to you what 'A'isha had told about the illness of the Apostle (ﷺ)? He said: Go ahead. I submitted to him what had been transmitted by her ('A'isha). He objected to none of it, only asking whether she had named to him the man who accompanied al-'Abbas. I said: No. He said: It was 'Ali.
Sahih Muslim Book 4, Hadith 98
While I was in the city of the Prophet, a man came and complained to him (the Prophet, ) of
destitution and poverty. Then another man came and complained of robbery (by highwaymen). The
Prophet said, "Adi! Have you been to Al-Hira?" I said, "I haven't been to it, but I was informed about
it." He said, "If you should live for a long time, you will certainly see that a lady in a Howdah
traveling from Al-Hira will (safely reach Mecca and) perform the Tawaf of the Ka`ba, fearing none
but Allah." I said to myself, "What will happen to the robbers of the tribe of Tai who have spread evil
through out the country?" The Prophet (ﷺ) further said. "If you should live long, the treasures of Khosrau
will be opened (and taken as spoils)." I asked, "You mean Khosrau, son of Hurmuz?" He said,
"Khosrau, son of Hurmuz; and if you should live long, you will see that one will carry a handful of
gold or silver and go out looking for a person to accept it from him, but will find none to accept it
from him. And any of you, when meeting Allah, will meet Him without needing an interpreter
between him and Allah to interpret for him, and Allah will say to him: 'Didn't I send a messenger to
teach you?' He will say: 'Yes.' Allah will say: 'Didn't I give you wealth and do you favors?' He will
say: 'Yes.' Then he will look to his right and see nothing but Hell, and look to his left and see nothing
but Hell."
`Adi further said: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a date
(to be given in charity) and if you do not find a half date, then with a good pleasant word." `Adi
added: (later on) I saw a lady in a Howdah traveling from Al-Hira till she performed the Tawaf of the
Ka`ba, fearing none but Allah. And I was one of those who opened (conquered) the treasures of
Khosrau, son of Hurmuz. If you should live long, you will see what the Prophet (ﷺ) Abu-l-Qasim had
said: 'A person will come out with a handful. of gold...etc.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 61, Hadith 102
“O Jibril, what is this
good
fragrance?” He said: “This is the fragrance of the grave of
the
hairdresser and her two sons and her husband.” He said: “That
began
when Khadir, who was one of the nobles of the Children of
Israel, used
to pass by a monk in his cell. The monk used to meet him
and he taught
him Islam. When Khadir reached adolescence, his father
married him to
a woman. He taught her and made her promise not to
teach it to anyone.
He used not to touch women, so he divorced her,
then his father
married him to another woman, and he taught her and
made her promise
not to teach it to anyone. One of them kept the
secret but the other
disclosed it, so he fled until he came to an
island in the sea. Two
men came, gathering firewood, and saw him. One
of them kept the secret
but the other disclosed it and said: ‘I
have seen Khadir.’ It was
said: ‘Who else saw him besides you?’
He said: ‘So-and-so.’ (The other
man) was questioned but he kept
silent. According to their religion,
the liar was to be killed. The
woman who had kept the secret got
married, and while she was combing
the hair of Pharoah’s daughter, she
dropped the comb and said: ‘May
Pharoah perish!’ (The daughter) told
her father about that. The
woman had two sons and a husband. (Pharoah)
sent for them, and tried
to make the woman and her husband give up
their religion, but they
refused. He said: ‘I am going to kill you.’
They said: ‘It
would be an act of kindness on your part, if you kill
us, to put us
in one grave.’ So he did that.” When the Prophet (ﷺ)
was taken
on the Night Journey (Isra’), he noticed a good fragrance
and asked
Jibril about it and he told him.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 105
I came to `Aisha the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) during the solar eclipse. The people were standing and
offering the prayer and she was also praying. I asked her, "What is wrong with the people?" She
beckoned with her hand towards the sky and said, "Subhan Allah." I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She
pointed out, "Yes." So I, too, stood for the prayer till I fell unconscious and later on I poured water on
my head. After the prayer, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) praised and glorified Allah and said, "Just now I have seen
something which I never saw before at this place of mine, including Paradise and Hell. I have been
inspired (and have understood) that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like
the trials of Ad-Dajjal, or nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure of what Asma' said). Angels will
come to every one of you and ask, 'What do you know about this man?' A believer will reply, 'He is
Muhammad, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and he came to us with self-evident truth and guidance. So we accepted
his teaching, believed and followed him.' Then the angels will say to him to sleep in peace as they
have come to know that he was a believer. On the other hand a hypocrite or a doubtful person will
reply, 'I do not know but heard the people saying something and so I said the same.' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 4, Hadith 50
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Time has taken its original shape which it had when Allah created the Heavens and
the Earth. The year is of twelve months, four of which are sacred, and out of these (four) three are in
succession, i.e. Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Al-Muharram, and the fourth is Rajab which is named
after the Mudar tribe, between (the month of) Jumaida (ath-thania) and Sha'ban." Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
asked, "Which is this month?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." On that the Prophet (ﷺ)
kept quiet so long that we thought that he might name it with another name. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." Then he said, "Which town is this?" "We
replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." On that he kept quiet so long that we thought that he
might name it with another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the town of Mecca?" We replied, "Yes, "
Then he said, "Which day is today?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He kept quiet
so long that we thought that he might name it with another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the day of An-
Nahr (i.e. sacrifice)?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "So your blood, your properties, (The sub-narrator
Muhammad said, 'I think the Prophet (ﷺ) also said: And your honor..) are sacred to one another like the
sanctity of this day of yours, in this city of yours, in this month of yours; and surely, you will meet
your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not become infidels after me, cutting
the throats of one another. It is incumbent on those who are present to convey this message (of mine)
to those who are absent. May be that some of those to whom it will be conveyed will understand it
better than those who have actually heard it." (The sub-narrator, Muhammad, on remembering that
narration, used to say, "Muhammad spoke the truth!") He (i.e. Prophet) then added twice, "No doubt!
Haven't I conveyed (Allah's Message) to you?"
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 428
Malik related to me that he heard that Urwa ibn az-Zubayr and
Sulayman ibn Yasar when asked whether the sons of a man, who had a
kitaba written for himself and his children and then died, worked for
the kitaba of their father or were slaves, said, "They work for the
kitaba of their father and they have no reduction at all for the death
of their father."
Malik said, "If they are small and unable
to work, one does not wait for them to grow up and they are slaves of
their father's master unless the mukatab has left what will pay their
instalments for them until they can work. If there is enough to pay
for them in what he has left, that is paid for on their behalf and
they are left in their condition until they can work, and then if they
pay, they are free. If they cannot do it, they are slaves."
Malik spoke about a mukatab who died and left property which was not
enough to pay his kitaba, and he also left a child with him in his
kitaba and an umm walad, and the umm walad wanted to work for them. He
said, "The money is paid to her if she is trustworthy with it and
strong enough to work. If she is not strong enough to work and not
trustworthy with property, she is not given any of it and she and the
children of the mukatab revert to being slaves of the master of the
mukatab."
Malik said, "If people are written together in one
kitaba and there is no kinship between them, and some of them are
incapable and others work until they are all set free, those who
worked can claim from those who were unable, the portion of what they
paid for them because some of them assumed the responsibility for
others."
Muwatta Malik Book 39, Hadith 8
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
that his father used to go into Makka by night when he was doing umra
and do tawaf of the House and say between Safa and Marwa and delay the
shaving until the morning, but he would not go back to the House and
do tawaf again until he had shaved his head.
Abd ar-Rahman
added, "Sometimes he would enter the mosque and do the witr prayer
there without actually going near the House."
Malik said,
"At-tafath is shaving the head, putting on normal clothes and things
of that nature."
Yahya said that Malik was asked whether a
man who forgot to shave (his head) at Mina during the hajj could shave
in Makka, and he said, "That is permissible, but I prefer the shaving
to be done at Mina."
Malik said, "What we are all agreed upon
here (in Madina) is that no-one should shave his head or cut his hair
until he has killed his sacrificial animal, if he has one, and things
that are haram for him do not become halal for him until he leaves
ihram at Mina on the day of sacrifice. This is because Allah, the
Blessed and Exalted, says, 'Do not shave yourheads until the
sacrificial animal has reached its destination. ' "
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 197
from Ma'qil bin Yasar that he married his sister to a man among the Muslims during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She remained with him as long as she did, then he divorced her once without taking her back until her 'Iddah elapsed, but they desired each other again. He (Ma'qil) said to him: 'You ingrate! I honored you by marrying her to you, then you divorced her. By Allah! She will never be returned to you again.' Allah knew of his heed for her and her need for a husband, so Allah, Blessed and Most High, revealed: 'And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed period...' up to His saying: '... and you do not know (2:232).' So when Ma'qil heard that he said: 'I heard my Lord and obey.' Then he called for him and said: 'I marry you, and honor you.'"
This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. It has been reported through other routes from AlHasan, and that is reported from Hasan is Gharib. And in this Hadtth, there is proof that marriage is not allowed without a Wali, because Ma'qil bin Yasãr's sister was not a virgin, so if the matter was up to her, not her Wali, then she could have married herself, and she would have had no need for Ma'qil bin Yasãr to act as the Wali for her. And Allah only addressed the Wali in this Ayah, saying: Do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands. - so in this Ayah is the evidence that the authority is with the Wali in marrying (women) with their consent.
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 33
Malik said, "There is no harm in someone who is in itikaf
entering into a marriage contract as long as there is no physical
relationship. A woman in itikaf may also be betrothed as long as there
is no physical relationship. What is haram for someone in itikaf in
relation to his womenfolk during the day is haram for him during the
night."
Yahya said that Ziyad said that Malik said, "It is
not halal for a man to have intercourse with his wife while he is in
itikaf, nor for him to take pleasure in her by kissing her, or
whatever. However, I have not heard anyone disapproving of a man, or
woman, in itikaf getting married as long as there is no physical
relationship. Marriage is not disapproved of for someone fasting."
"There is, however, a distinction between the marriage of
someone in itikaf and that of someone who is muhrim, in that some one
who is muhrim can eat, drink, visit the sick and attend funerals, but
cannot put on perfume, whilst a man or woman in itikaf can put on oil
and perfume and groom their hair, but cannot attend funerals or pray
over the dead or visit the sick. Thus their situations with regard to
marriage are different."
"This is the sunna as it has come
down to us regarding marriage for those who are muhrim, doing itikaf,
or fasting.
Muwatta Malik Book 19, Hadith 10
Muhayyasah b. Mas'ud and 'Abd Allah b. Sahl came to Khaibar and parted (from each other) among palm trees. 'Abd Allah b. Sahl was killed. The Jews were blamed (for the murder). 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl and Huwayyasah and Muhayyasah, the sons of his uncle (Mas'ud) came to the Prophet (ﷺ). 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the youngest, spoke about his brother, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: (Respect) the elder, (respect) the elder or he said: Let the eldest begin. They then spoke about their friend and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Fifty of you should take oaths regarding a man from them (the Jews) and he should be entrusted (to him) with his rope (in his neck). They said: It is a matter which we did not see. How can we take oaths ? He said: The Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah! they are a people who are infidels. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) paid them bloodwit himself. Sahl said: Once I entered the resting place of their camels, and the she-camel struck me with her lef. Hammad said this or (something) similar to it.
Abu Dawud said: Another version transmitted by Yahya b. Sa'id has: Would you swear fifty oaths and make you claim regarding your friend or your slain man ? Bishr, the transmitter, did mention blood. 'Abdah transmitted it from Yahya as transmitted by Hammad. Ibn 'Uyainah has also transmitted it from Yahya, and began with his words: The Jew will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths which they will swear. He did not mention the claim.
Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn 'Uyainah.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 41, Hadith 27
I asked Ibn `Umar about those who were involved in a case of Lien. He said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said to
those who were involved in a case of Lien, 'Your accounts are with Allah. One of you two is a liar,
and you (the husband) have no right over her (she is divorced)." The man said, 'What about my
property (Mahr) ?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'You have no right to get back your property. If you have told the
truth about her then your property was for the consummation of your marriage with her; and if you
told a lie about her, then you are less rightful to get your property back.' " Sufyan, a sub-narrator said:
I learned the Hadith from `Amr. Narrated Aiyub: I heard Sa`id bin Jubair saying, "I asked Ibn `Umar,
'If a man (accuses his wife for an illegal sexual intercourse and) carries out the process of Lian (what
will happen)?' Ibn `Umar set two of his fingers apart. (Sufyan set his index finger and middle finger
apart.) Ibn `Umar said, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) separated the couple of Bani Al-Ajlan by divorce and said thrice,
"Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent (to Allah)?' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 68, Hadith 61
