I witnessed the `Id-al-Fitr prayer with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , Abu Bakr, `Umar and `Uthman; and all of
them offered it before delivering the sermon... and then delivered the sermon. Once the Prophet (after
completing the prayer and the sermon) came down, as if I am now looking at him waving at the men
with his hand to sit down, and walked through them till he, along with Bilal, reached (the rows of) the
women. Then he recited: 'O Prophet! When believing women come to you to take the oath of
allegiance that they will not worship anything other than Allah, will not steal, will not commit illegal
sexual intercourse, will not kill their children, and will not utter slander, intentionally forging
falsehood (by making illegal children belonging to their husbands)'....(60.12) Having finished, he
said, 'Do you agree to that?" One lady, other than whom none replied the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" (The, sub-narrator, Al-Hasan did not know who the lady was.) Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said
to them: "Will you give alms?" Thereupon Bilal spread out his garment and the women started
throwing big rings and small rings into Bilal's garment. (See Hadith No. 95 vol.2)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 415
"A man from the Ansar came when the Iqamah for prayer had
been said. He entered the Masjid and prayed behind Muadh, and he(Muadh) made the prayer lengthy. The man went away and prayed in a comer of the Masjid, then he left. When Muadh finished praying, it was said to him that so-and-so had done such and such. Muadh said:
'Tomorrow I will mention that to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).' So Muadh came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him about that. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent for him and asked him: 'What made you do what you did? He said: '0 Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I had been working with my camel to bring water all day, and when I came the Iqamah for prayer had already been said, so I entered the Masjid and joined him in the prayer, then he recited such and such a Surah and made it lengthy, so
I went away and prayed in a comer of the Masjid.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Do you want to cause hardship to the people, 0 Muadh do you want to cause hardship to the
people, 0 Muadh do you want to cause hardship to the people, 0 Muadh?"'
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 10, Hadith 55
he informed him, ans some men among the elders of his people, that "Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayysah set out for Khaibar because of some problem that had arisen. Someone came to Muhayysah, and he told him that 'Abdullah bin Sahl had been killed and thrown into a pit or well. He came to the Jews and said: "By Allah, you killed him." They said: "By Allah, we did not kill him." Then he went baack to his people and told them about that. Then he and his brother Huwayysah, who was older than him, and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, came (to the prophet). Muhayysah, who was the one who had been at Khaibar, bnegan to speak, but the Messenger of Allah said: "Let the elder speak first." So Huwayysah spoke, then Muhayysah spoke. The Messenger of Allah said: "Either (the Jews) will pay the Diyah for your companion, or war will be declared on them." The Messenger of Allah sent a letter to that effect (to the Jews) and they wrote back saying: "By Allah, we did not kill him." The Messenger of Allah and 'Abdur-Rahman: "Will you swear an oath establishing your claim to the blood money of your companion?" They said: "No." He said: "Should the Jews swear an oath for you?" They said: "They are not Muslims." So the Messenger of Allah paid it himself, and he sent one hundred she-camels to their abodes. Sahl said: "A red she-camel from among them kicked me."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 45, Hadith 6
"We were with the Messenger of Allah in the year of Khaibar, and we did not get any spoils of war except for wealth, goods and clothes. Then a man from Banu Ad-Dubaib, who was called Rifa'ah bin Zaid, gave the Messenger of Allah a black slave who was called Mid'am. The Messenger of Allah set out for Wadi Al-Qura. When we were in Wadi Al-Qura, while Mid'am was unloading the luggage of the Messenger of Allah, an arrow came and killed him. The people said: 'Congratulations! You will go to Paradise,' but the Messenger of Allah said: 'No, by the One in Whose hand is my soul! The cloak that he took from the spoils of war on the Day of Khaibar is burning him with fire.' When the people heard that, a man brought one or two shoelaces to the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah said: 'One or two shoelaces of fire.'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 35, Hadith 67
Musailama-al-Kadhdhab (i.e. the liar) came in the life-time of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with many of his people
(to Medina) and said, "If Muhammad makes me his successor, I will follow him." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
went up to him with Thabit bin Qais bin Shams; and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was carrying a piece of a datepalm
leaf in his hand. He stood before Musailama (and his companions) and said, "If you asked me
even this piece (of a leaf), I would not give it to you. You cannot avoid the fate you are destined to, by
Allah. If you reject Islam, Allah will destroy you. I think that you are most probably the same person
whom I have seen in the dream." Abu Huraira told me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ); said, "While I was
sleeping, I saw (in a dream) two gold bracelets round my arm, and that worried me too much. Then I
was instructed divinely in my dream, to blow them off and so I blew them off, and they flew away. I
interpreted the two bracelets as symbols of two liars who would appear after me. And so one of them
was Al-Ansi and the other was Musailama Al-Kadhdhab from Al-Yamama."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 61, Hadith 127
(who was an ally of Bam `Amr bin Lu'ai and one of those who had taken part in (the Ghazwa of)
Badr): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarreh to Bahrain to collect the Jizya. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
had established peace with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al-`Ala' bin Al-Hadrami as their
governor. When Abu 'Ubaida came from Bahrain with the money, the Ansar heard of Abu 'Ubaida's
arrival which coincided with the time of the morning prayer with the Prophet. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
led them in the morning prayer and finished, the Ansar approached him, and he looked at them and
smiled on seeing them and said, "I feel that you have heard that Abu. 'Ubaida has brought
something?" They said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)' He said, "Rejoice and hope for what will please you!
By Allah, I am not afraid of your poverty but I am afraid that you will lead a life of luxury as past
nations did, whereupon you will compete with each other for it, as they competed for it, and it will
destroy you as it destroyed them."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 58, Hadith 2
I had a she-camel which I got in my share from the booty of the battle of Badr, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had
given me another she camel from the Khumus which Allah had bestowed on him that day. And when I
intended to celebrate my marriage to Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet, I made an arrangement with
a goldsmith from Bani Qainuqa 'that he should go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. a kind of grass used
by gold-smiths) which I intended to sell to gold-smiths in order to spend its price on the marriage
banquet. While I was collecting ropes and sacks of pack saddles for my two she-camels which were
kneeling down beside an Ansari's dwelling and after collecting what I needed, I suddenly found that
the humps of the two she-camels had been cut off and their flanks had been cut open and portions of
their livers had been taken out. On seeing that, I could not help weeping.
I asked, "Who has done that?" They (i.e. the people) said, "Hamza bin `Abdul Muttalib has done it. He
is present in this house with some Ansari drinkers, a girl singer, and his friends. The singer said in her
song, "O Hamza, get at the fat she-camels!" On hearing this, Hamza rushed to his sword and cut of the
camels' humps and cut their flanks open and took out portions from their livers." Then I came to the
Prophet, with whom Zaid bin Haritha was present. The Prophet (ﷺ) noticed my state and asked, "What is
the matter?" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I have never experienced such a day as today! Hamza attacked
my two she-camels, cut off their humps and cut their flanks open, and he is still present in a house
along some drinkers." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for his cloak, put it on, and proceeded, followed by Zaid bin
Haritha and myself, till he reached the house where Hamza was. He asked the permission to enter, and
he was permitted. The Prophet (ﷺ) started blaming Hamza for what he had done. Hamza was drunk and
his eyes were red. He looked at the Prophet (ﷺ) then raised his eyes to look at his knees and raised his
eves more to look at his face and then said, "You are not but my father's slaves." When the Prophet (ﷺ)
understood that Hamza was drunk, he retreated, walking backwards went out and we left with him.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 54
"A man among us married a woman, but he did not name a dowry for her, and he did not have intercourse with her before he died." 'Abdullah said: 'Since I left the Messenger of Allah I have never been asked a more difficult question than this. Go to someone else.' They kept coming to him for a month, then at the end of that they said: 'Who shall we ask if we do not ask you? You are one of the most prominent Companions of Muhammad in this land and we cannot find anyone else.' He said: 'I will say what I think, and if it is correct then it is from Allah alone, with no partner, and if it is wrong then it is from me and from the Shaitan, and Allah and His Messenger have nothing to do with it. I think she should be given a dowry like that of her peers and no less, with no injustice, and she may inherit from him, and she has to observe the 'Iddah, four months and ten days.'" He said: "And that was heard by some people from Ashja', who stood up and said: 'We bear witness that you have passed the same judgment as the Messenger of Allah did concerning a woman from among us who was called Birwa' bint Washiq.'" He said: "Abdullah was never seen looking so happy as he did on that day, except with having accepted Islam."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 26, Hadith 163
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr al-Makki from
Abu't-Tufayl Amir ibn Wathila that Muadh ibn Jabal told him that they
went out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, in the year of Tabuk, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, joined dhuhr with asr and maghrib with
isha. Muadh said, "One day he delayed the prayer, and then came out
and prayed dhuhr and asr together. Then he said, 'Tomorrow you will
come, insha' llah, to the spring of Tabuk. But you will not get there
until well into the morning. No one who arrives should touch any of
its water until I come.' We came to it and two men had got to it
before us and the spring was dripping with a little water. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked
them, 'Have you touched any of its water?' They said, 'Yes.' The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, reviled
them and said what Allah wished him to say. Then they took water with
their hands from the spring little by little until it had been
collected in something. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, washed his face and hands in it. Then he put
it back into the spring and the spring flowed with an abundance of
water and the people drew water from it. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If you live long enough,
Muadh, you will soon see this place filled with gardens.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 9, Hadith 2
One day Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) narrated to us a long narration about Ad-Dajjal and among the things he
narrated to us, was: "Ad-Dajjal will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes of
Medina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighboring Medina and there will appear to him a
man who will be the best or one of the best of the people. He will say 'I testify that you are Ad-Dajjal
whose story Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has told us.' Ad-Dajjal will say (to his audience), 'Look, if I kill this man
and then give him life, will you have any doubt about my claim?' They will reply, 'No,' Then Ad-
Dajjal will kill that man and then will make him alive. The man will say, 'By Allah, now I recognize
you more than ever!' Ad-Dajjal will then try to kill him (again) but he will not be given the power to
do so."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 92, Hadith 79
""Some meat was brought to the Prophet (s.a.w) and a foreleg was presented to him, and he used to like it, so he bit from it. Then he said: 'I will be the 'Leader' of the people on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know why that is? Allah will gather the people, the first and the last, on one level ground where they will (all) be able to hear a caller, and all of them will be visible, and the sun will be brought near such that the people will suffer distress and trouble that they cannot tolerate nor bear. Then some people will say: "Don't you see the state you have reached? Why don't you look for a person who can intercede for you with your Lord? " Some of them will say to others: " You should go to Adam." So they will go to Adam and say, "You are the father of all mankind, Allah created you with His Own Hands, and breathed into you from His spirit (which He creted for you) and ordered the angels to prostrate for you. Will you not intercede for us with your Lord? Don't you see what has happened to us? Don't you see the state we have reached?" On that Adam will reply, "Today my Lord has become angry such that He has never before been angry, and will never be thereafter. He forbade me (to eat from) the tree, but I disobeyed(Him), Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to somebody else; Go to Nuh." They will go to Nuh and say: "O Nuh! You are the first among the Messengers to the people of the earth, and Allah named you a thankful slave. Will you not intercede for us with your Lord? Don't you see what has happened to us? Don't you see the state we have reached?" Nuh will say to them : "Today my Lord has become angry as He has never before been angry, and will never be thereafter. I had been given one supplication, and I supplicated against my own people. Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else! Go to Ibrahim." They will go to Ibrahim and say: "O Ibrahim! You are Allah's Prophet and His Khalil among the people of the earth, so intercede for us with your Lord, don't you see what hads happened to us?" He will say: "Today my Lord has become angry as He has never before been angry and will never be thereafter. Indeed I uttered three lies."- Abu Hayyyan (a narrator) mentioned them in his narration - " Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else! Go to Musa." So they will go to Musa and say: "O Musa! You are the Messenger of Allah who Allah distinguished above the people with His Message and His Speech, intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see what has happened to us?" So he will say "Today my Lord has become angry as He has never before been angry and will never be thereafter. Indeed I killed a person whom I was ordered not to kill. Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; Go to 'Eisa." They will go to 'Eisa and say: "O 'Eisa ! You are the Messenger of Allah and His Word which He placed into Mariam, and a Spirit from Him, and you spoke to the people in the cradle. Intercede for us with your Lord. Don't you see what has happened to us?" Then 'Eisa will say: "Today my Lord has become angry as He has never before been angry and will never be thereafter." He will not mention a sin, but will say: "Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else! Go to Muhammad." He said: 'They will go to Muhammad(s.a.w) and they say: "O Muhammad! You are the Messenger of Allah and the last of the Prophets, and your past and future sins have been pardoned. Will you not intercede for us with your Lord, don't you see what has happened to us?" Then I will depart until I come to under the Throne to fall prostrating before my Lord. Then Allah will guide me to such praises and beautiful statements of glorification which He did not guide anyone to before me. Then He will say: "O Muhammad! Raise your head. Ask,so that you may be granted and intercede so that your intercession may be accepted." I will raise my head and say: "O Lord! My Ummah! O Lord! My Ummah! O Lord! My Ummah!" He will say: "O Muhammad! Let those of your Ummah who have no accounts enter the gate on the right among the gates of Paradise, and they shall share in the gates other than that with the people.'" Then he (s.a.w) said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! What is between every two gate-posts in Paradise is as what is between Makkah and Hajar, and what is between Makkah and Busra.'" Other chains report similar narrations.
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 37, Hadith 20
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said heard Muhammad
ibn Yahya ibn Habban mentioning that a certain man passed Abu Dharr at
ar-Rabadha (which was about 30 miles from Madina) and Abu Dharr asked
him, "Where are you heading to?" and he replied, "I am intending to do
hajj." Abu Dharr questioned, "Has anything else brought you out?" and
he said, "No," so Abu Dharr said "Resume what you are doing
wholeheartedly."
The man related, "I went on till I came to
Makka and I stayed as long as Allah willed. Suddenly, one time, I was
with a crowd of people thronging about a man and I pushed through the
people to him and it was the old man that I had come across at ar-
Rabadha. When he saw me, he recognized me and said, 'Ah, you have done
what I told you.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 264
In the year of Hajjat-ul-Wada` the Prophet (ﷺ) visited me when I fell ill and was about to die because of
that illness. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I am very ill as you see, and I am a rich man and have no heir
except my only daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property in charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I
then give one half of it in charity?" He said, "O Sa`d! Give 1/3 (in charity) and even 1/3 is too much.
No doubt, it is better to leave your children rich than to leave them poor, reduced to begging from
others. And Allah will reward you for whatever you spend with the intention of gaining Allah's
Pleasure even if it were a mouthful of food you put into your wives mouth." I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Am I to be left behind (in Mecca) after my companions have gone?" He said, "If you should
be left behind, you will be upgraded and elevated for every deed you will do with a desire to achieve
Allah's Pleasure. I hope that you will live long so that some people will benefit by you while others
will be harmed. O Allah! Please fulfill the migration of my companions and do not make them turn
back on their heels. But (we feel sorry for) the unlucky Sa`d bin Khaulah." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) lamented
his death in Mecca.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 63, Hadith 161
A Jew and Jewess were brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) on a charge of committing an illegal sexual
intercourse. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked the Jews, "What do you (usually) do with them?" They said, "We
blacken their faces and disgrace them." He said, "Bring here the Torah and recite it, if you are
truthful." They (fetched it and) came and asked a one-eyed man to recite. He went on reciting till he
reached a portion on which he put his hand. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Lift up your hand!" He lifted his hand
up and behold, there appeared the verse of Ar-Rajm (stoning of the adulterers to death). Then he said,
"O Muhammad! They should be stoned to death but we conceal this Divine Law among ourselves."
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that the two sinners be stoned to death and, and they were stoned to death,
and I saw the man protecting the woman from the stones. (See Hadith No. 809, Vol. 8)
