Once a daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent a message to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while Usama, Sa`d, and my
father or Ubai were (sitting there) with him. She said, (in the message); My child is going to die;
please come to us." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) returned the messenger and told him to convey his greetings to
her, and say, "Whatever Allah takes, is for Him and whatever He gives is for Him, and everything
with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world): so she should be patient and hope for Allah's
reward." Then she again sent for him swearing that he should come; so The Prophet (ﷺ) got up, and so did
we. When he sat there (at the house of his daughter), the child was brought to him, and he took him
into his lap while the child's breath was disturbed in his chest. The eyes of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) started
shedding tears. Sa`d said, "What is this, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This is the mercy
which Allah has lodged in the hearts of whoever He wants of His slaves, and verily Allah is merciful
only to those of His slaves who are merciful (to others).'
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 83, Hadith 34
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
from his father that he had asked Abu Hurayra, "How do you pray over
the dead?" and Abu Hurayra replied, "By the Life of Allah, I will tell
you! I follow with the family and when the corpse is put down I say
'Allah is greater' and praise Allah and ask for blessings on His
Prophet. Then I say, 'O Allah, he is Your slave and the son of Your
male slave and Your female slave. He used to testify that there is no
god but You and that Muhammad is Your slave and Your Messenger, and
You know that best. O Allah, if he acted well, then increase for him
his good action, and if he acted wrongly, then overlook his wrong
actions. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward, and do not try us
after him.'"
Allahumma inna huwa abduka wa'bnu abdika wa'bnu
amatika. Kana yash-hadu an la ilaha illa ant wa anna Muhammadan abduka
wa rasooluka, wa anta alamu bihi. Allahumma in kana muhsinan zid fi
ihsanihi, wa in kana musiyan fa tajawaz an sayatihi. Allahumma la
tahrimna ajrahu wa lataftina badahu.
Muwatta Malik Book 16, Hadith 18
“I came to Abu
Tha’labah Al-Khushani and said: ‘How do you understand this
Verse?’ He
said: ‘Which verse?’ I said: “O you who believe!
Take care of your own
selves. If you follow the (right) guidance, no
hurt can come to you
from those who are in error.”? He said:
‘You have asked one who
knows about it. I asked the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) about it and he
said: “Enjoin good upon one another and
forbid one another to do evil,
but if you see overwhelming
stinginess, desires being followed, this
world being preferred (to
the Hereafter), every person with an opinion
feeling proud of it, and
you realize that you have no power to deal
with it, then you have to
mind your own business and leave the common
folk to their own
devices. After you will come days of patience,
during which patience
will be like grasping a burning ember, and one
who does good deeds
will have a reward like that of fifty men doing
the same deed.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 89
'Uwaimir Al-Ajlani came to `Asim bin Ad Al-Ansari and said to him, "O `Asim! Suppose a man saw
another man with his wife, would he kill him whereupon you would kill him; or what should he do?
Please, O `Asim, ask about this on my behalf." `Asim asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ),
disliked that question and considered it disgraceful. What `Asim heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was hard
on him. When `Asim returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him and said, "O `Asim! What did
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). say to you?" `Asim said to 'Uwaimir, "You never bring me any good. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
disliked the problem which I asked him about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not give up this
matter until I ask the Prophet (ﷺ) about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the
midst of people, and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If a man sees another man with his wife, would he kill
him, whereupon you would kill him, or what should he do?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah has revealed
some decree as regards you and your wives case. Go and bring her." So they carried out the process of
Lian while I was present among the people with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). When they had finished their Lian,
'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If I should now keep her with me as a wife, then I have told a lie."
So he divorced her thrice before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered him. (Ibn Shihab said: So divorce was the
tradition for all those who were involved in a case of Lian.)
