While a man was delivering a speech in the tribe of Kinda, he said, "Smoke will prevail on the Day of
Resurrection and will deprive the hypocrites their faculties of hearing and seeing. The believers will
be afflicted with something like cold only thereof." That news scared us, so I went to (Abdullah) Ibn
Mas`ud while he was reclining (and told him the story) whereupon he became angry, sat up and said,
"He who knows a thing can say, it, but if he does not know, he should say, 'Allah knows best,' for it is
an aspect of knowledge to say, 'I do not know,' if you do not know a certain thing. Allah said to His
prophet. 'Say (O Muhammad): No wage do I ask of you for this (Qur'an), nor I am one of the
pretenders (a person who pretends things which do not exist.)' (38.86)
The Qur'aish delayed in embracing Islam for a period, so the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked evil on them, saying, 'O
Allah! Help me against them by sending seven years of (famine) like those of Joseph.' So they were
afflicted with such a severe year of famine that they were destroyed therein and ate dead animals and
bones. They started seeing something like smoke between the sky and the earth (because of severe
hunger). Abu Sufyan then came (to the Prophet) and said, "O Muhammad! You came to order us for
to keep good relations with Kith and kin, and your kinsmen have now perished, so please invoke
Allah (to relieve them).' Then Ibn Mas`ud recited:-- 'Then watch you for the day that the sky will
bring forth a kind of smoke plainly visible....but truly you will return! (to disbelief) (44.10-15)
Ibn Mas`ud added, Then the punishment was stopped, but truly, they reverted to heathenism (their old
way). So Allah (threatened them thus): 'On the day when we shall seize you with a mighty grasp.'
(44.16) And that was the day of the Battle of Badr. Allah's saying- "Lizama" (the punishment) refers
to the day of Badr Allah's Statement:
Alif-Lam-Mim, the Romans have been defeated, and they, after their defeat, will be victorious,' (30.1-
3) (This verse): Indicates that the defeat of Byzantine has already passed.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 296
Malik related to me that he heard Ibn Shihab say, "The precedent
of the sunna is that when a slave is freed, his property follows him."
Malik said, "One thing which makes clear that the property of
a slave follows him when he is freed is that when the contract
(mukatab) is written for his freedom, his property follows him even if
he did not stipulate it. That is because the bond of kitaba is the
bond of wala' when it is complete. The property of a slave and a
mukatab is not treated in the same way as any children they may have.
Their children are only treated in the same way as their own slaves,
not in the same way as their property. This is because the sunna, in
which there is no dispute, is that when a slave is freed, his property
follows him and his children do not follow him, and when a mukatab
writes the contract for his freedom, his property follows him and his
children do not follow him."
Malik said, "One thing which
makes that clear is that when a slave or a mukatab are bankrupt, their
property is taken but the mothers of their children and their children
are not taken because they are not their property."
Malik
said, "Another thing which makes it clear is that when a slave is sold
and the person who buys him stipulates the inclusions of his property,
his children are not included in his property."
Malik said,
"Another thing which makes it clear is that when a slave does injure
some one, he and his property are taken, and his children are not
taken."
Muwatta Malik Book 38, Hadith 6
The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to do seven (things) and forbade us from seven. He ordered us to visit the
patients, to follow the funeral procession, to reply to the sneezer (i.e., say to him, 'Yarhamuka-l-lah
(May Allah bestow His Mercy upon you), if he says 'Al-hamduli l-lah' (Praise be to Allah), to help
others to fulfill their oaths, to help the oppressed, to greet (whomever one should meet), and to accept
the invitation (to a wedding banquet). He forbade us to wear golden rings, to use silver utensils, to use
Maiyathir (cushions of silk stuffed with cotton and placed under the rider on the saddle), the Qasiyya
(linen clothes containing silk brought from an Egyptian town), the Istibraq (thick silk) and the Dibaj
(another kind of silk). (See Hadith No. 539 and 753).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 67, Hadith 110
'When news of the death of Zaid bin Harithah, Ja'far bin Abi Talib and 'Abdullah bin Rawahah was announced, the Messenger of Allah sat down and it could be seen that he was grieving. I was looking through a crack in the door, and a man came and said: 'Ja'far's womenfolk are weeping.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Go and prevent them.' He went away, then he came back, and said: I told them not to do that, but they refused to stop; He said: Go and prevent them; He went away then he came back, and said: I told them not to do that, but they refused to stop. He said: 'Throw dust in their mouths.'" Aishah said: "I said: 'May Allah rub his nose in the dust, the one who is over there! You did not leave the Messenger of Allah alone but you were not going to do (what he told you to do).""
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 21, Hadith 30
'Abdullah bin SAahi and Nubayysah bin Mas'ud bin Zaid went o Khaibar, and at that time there was peace treaty. They went their separate ways to about their business, then Muhayysah came upon 'Abdullah in Sahl lying dead in a pool of blood. He buried him, then he came to AL-Madinah. 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahi. Huwayysah, and Muhayysah came to the Messenger of Allah, and 'Abdur-Rehman started to speak, but he was the youngest of them, so the Messenger of Allah said: "Let the elders speak first." So he fell silent and they (the other two) spoke. The Messenger of Allah said: "Will you swear fifty oaths, then you will receive compensation or be entitled to retaliate?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can we swear an oath when we did not witness, and did not see (what happened)?" He said: "The n can the Jews swear fifty oaths declaring their innocence?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can we accept the oath of a disbelieving people?" So the Messenger of Allah paid the blood money himself.
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 45, Hadith 9
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the night (Tahajjud) prayer, he used to say, "O Allah! All the Praises
are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. And all the Praises are for You; You are
the Keeper of the Heavens and the Earth. All the Praises are for You; You are the Lord of the Heavens
and the Earth and whatever is therein. You are the Truth, and Your Promise is the Truth, and Your
Speech is the Truth, and meeting You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth and Hell (Fire) is the
Truth and all the prophets are the Truth and the Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender to You, and
believe in You, and depend upon You, and repent to You, and in Your cause I fight and with Your
orders I rule. So please forgive my past and future sins and those sins which I did in secret or in
public. It is You Whom I worship, None has the right to be worshipped except You ." (See Hadith No.
329,Vol. 8)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 97, Hadith 124
While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up to deliver a sermon, he said: 0 people, Allah would make you assemble barefooted, naked and uncircumcised (and then recited the words of the Qur'an):" As We created you for the first time, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise (binding) upon us. Lo! We are to perform it, and the first person who would be clothed on the Day of Resurrection would be (Hadrat) Ibrahim (peace be upon him)" and, behold! some persons of my Ummah would be brought and taken to the left and I would say: My Lord, they are my companions, and it would be said: You do not know what they did after you, and I would say just as the pious servant (Hadrat 'Isa) said:, I was a witness regarding them as I remained among them and Thou art a witness over everything, so if Thou chastisest them, they are Thy servants and if Thou for- givest them, Thou art Mighty, Wise" (v. 117-118). And it would be said to him: They constantly turned to their heels since you left them. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Waki' and Mu'adh (and the words are):" What new things they fabricated."
Sahih Muslim Book 53, Hadith 70
Yahya said, "I heard Malik say that if a man pledges his garden
for a stated period and the fruits of that garden are ready before the
end of that period, the fruits are not included in the pledge with the
real estate, unless it is stipulated by the pledger in his pledge.
However, if a man receives a slave-girl as a pledge and she is
pregnant or she becomes pregnant after his taking her as a pledge, her
child is included with her.
"A distinction is made between
the fruit and the child of the slave-girl. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If someone sells a palm
which has been pollinated, the fruit belongs to the seller unless the
buyer stipulates its inclusion.' The undisputed way of doing things in
our community is that if a man sells a slave-girl or an animal with a
foetus in its womb, the foetus belongs to the buyer, whether or not
the buyer stipulates it. The palm is not like the animal. Fruit is not
like the foetus in its mother's womb. Part of what clarifies that is
also that it is the usage of people to have a man pawn the fruit of
the palm apart from the palm. No one pawns the foetus in its mother's
womb whether of slaves or animals."
Muwatta Malik Book 36, Hadith 18
There was a dispute amongst the people of the tribe of Bani `Amr bin `Auf. The Prophet (ﷺ) went to them
along with some of his companions in order to make peace between them. The time for the prayer
became due but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not turn up; Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e. call) for the prayer but
the Prophet (ﷺ) did not turn up, so Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said, "The time for the prayer is due and
the Prophet (ﷺ) i detained, would you lead the people in the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes, you wish."
So, Bilal pronounced the Iqama of the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead (to lead the prayer), but the
Prophet came walking among the rows till he joined the first row. The people started clapping and
they clapped too much, and Abu Bakr used not to look hither and thither in the prayer, but he turned
round and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing behind him. The Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned him with his hand to keep on
praying where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hand and praised Allah and then retreated till he came in
the (first) row, and the Prophet (ﷺ) went ahead and lead the people in the prayer. When the Prophet (ﷺ)
finished the prayer, he turned towards the people and said, "O people! When something happens to
you during the prayer, you start clapping. Really clapping is (permissible) for women only. If
something happens to one of you in his prayer, he should say: 'Subhan Allah', (Glorified be Allah), for
whoever hears him (saying so) will direct his attention towards him. O Abu Bakr! What prevented you
from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned to you (to continue)?" Abu Bakr replied, "It
did not befit the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front of the Prophet.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 53, Hadith 1
Two men had a dispute in the presence of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). One of them said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
Judge between us according to Allah's Laws." The other who was wiser, said, "Yes, O Allah's
Apostle! Judge between us according to Allah's Laws and allow me to speak. The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Speak." He said, "My son was a laborer serving this (person) and he committed illegal sexual
intercourse with his wife, The people said that my son is to be stoned to death, but I ransomed him
with one-hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the learned people, who informed me that my
son should receive one hundred lashes and will be exiled for one year, and stoning will be the lot for
the man's wife." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Indeed, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge
between you according to Allah's Laws: As for your sheep and slave girl, they are to be returned to
you." Then he scourged his son one hundred lashes and exiled him for one year. Then Unais Al-
Aslami was ordered to go to the wife of the second man, and if she confessed (the crime), then stone
her to death. She did confess, so he stoned her to death.
