Some (of the Ansar) used to present date palm trees to the Prophet (ﷺ) till Banu Quraiza and Banu An-
Nadir were conquered (then he returned to the people their date palms). My people ordered me to ask
the Prophet (ﷺ) to return some or all the date palms they had given to him, but the Prophet (ﷺ) had given those
trees to Um Aiman. On that, Um Aiman came and put the garment around my neck and said, "No, by
Him except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, he will not return those trees to you as he (i.e.
the Prophet (ﷺ) ) has given them to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) go said (to her), "Return those trees and I will give
you so much (instead of them)." But she kept on refusing, saying, "No, by Allah," till he gave her ten
times the number of her date palms.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 164
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Time has come back to its original state which it had when Allah created the
Heavens and the Earth, the year is twelve months, of which four are sacred; (and out of these four)
three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab
Mudar which is between Jumad (Ath-Tham) and Sha'ban." The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked us, "Which month
is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better." He kept quiet so long that we thought he
might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't it Dhul-Hijja?" We said, "Yes." He asked "What
town is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.' Then he kept quiet so long that we
thought he might call it by another name. He then said, "Isn't it the (forbidden) town (Mecca)?" We
said, "Yes." He asked, "What is the day today?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.
Then he kept quiet so long that we thought that he might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't it
the Day of An-Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifices)?" We said, "Yes." Then he said, "Your blood (lives),
your properties," (the sub narrator Muhammad, said: I think he also said): "..and your honor) are as
sacred to one another like the sanctity of this Day of yours, in this town of yours, in this month of
yours.
You shall meet your Lord and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Don't go astray after me by
striking the necks of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform it to those
who are absent for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of
the present audience." Whenever the sub-narrator Muhammad mentioned that statement, he would
say, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said the truth.") And then the Prophet (ﷺ) added, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's
Message to you! No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you?"
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 97, Hadith 73
"Indeed the best of my friends to me is the one of meager conditions, whose share is in Salat, worshipping his Lord well and obeying him (even) in private. He is obscure among the people such that the fingers are not pointed towards him. His provisions are only what is sufficient and he is patient with that." Then he tapped with his fingers and said: "His death comes quickly, his mourners are few, and his inheritance is little."With this (the above), chain it is narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "My Lord presented to me, that He would make the valley of Makkah into gold for me, I said: 'No O Lord! But being filled for a day and hungry for a day"-or he said: "three days" or something like that- "So when I am hungry, I would beseech You and remember You, and when I am full I would be grateful to You and praise You."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 36, Hadith 44
0 Allah, enable me to derive benefit from my husband, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and from my father Abu Sufyan and from my brother Mu'awiya. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: You have asked from Allah about durations of life already set, and the length of days already allotted and the sustenances the share of which has been fixed. Allah would not do anything earlier before its due time, or He would not delay anything beyond its due time. And if you were to ask Allah to provide you refuge from the torment of the HellFire, or from the torment of the grave, it would have good in store for you and better for you also. He (the narrator) further said: Mention was made before him about monkeys, and Mis'ar (one of the narrators) said: I think that (the narrator) also (made a mention) of the swine, which had suffered metamorphosis. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Verily, Allah did not cause the race of those which suffered metamorphosis to grow or they were not survived by young ones. Monkeys and swine had been in existence even before (the metamorphosis of the human beings).
Sahih Muslim Book 46, Hadith 49
A newly wedded person of Medina invited us to a wedding feast, and he served us thirteen lizards. There were those who ate it and those who abandoned it. I met Ibn 'Abbas the next day, and informed him (about this) in the presence of many persons. Some of them said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had observed: I neither eat it nor forbid (anyone) from eating it, nor declare it to be unlawful. Thereupon Ibn 'Abbas said: Sad it is what you say! Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) has not been sent, but (to declare in clear words) the lawful and the unlawful (things). We were once with Allah's Messenger (may peace be. upon him) as he was with Maimuna, and there were with him al-Fadl b. 'Abbas, Khalid b. Walid and some women (also) when a tray of food containing flesh was presented to him. As Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) was about to eat that, Maimuna said: It is the flesh of the lizard. He withdrew his hand saying: That is the flesh which I never eat; but he said to them (those who were present there): You may eat. Al-Fadl ate out of that, so did Khalid b Walid, and the women. Maimuna (however) said: I do not eat anything but that which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) eats.
Sahih Muslim Book 34, Hadith 69
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
“Whoever drinks wine and gets drunk, his prayer will
not
be accepted for forty days, and if he dies he will enter Hell,
but if
he repents, Allah will accept his repentance. If he drinks
wine again
and gets drunk, his prayer will not be accepted for forty
days, and if
he dies he will enter Hell, but if he repents, Allah
will accept his
repentance. If he drinks wine again and gets drunk,
his prayer will
not be accepted for forty days, and if he dies he
will enter Hell, but
if he repents Allah will accept his repentance.
But if he does it
again, then Allah will most certainly make him
drink of the mire of
the puss or sweat on the Day of Resurrection.”
They said: “O Messenger
of Allah, what is the mire of the pus or
sweat? He said: “The
drippings of the people of Hell.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 30, Hadith 7
Once, while I was sitting with the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) at a station on the road to Mecca and
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was stationing ahead of us and all the people were assuming Ihram while I was not.
My companion, saw an onager while I was busy Mending my shoes. They did not Inform me of the
onager but they wished that I would see it Suddenly I looked and saw the onager Then I headed
towards my horse, saddled it and rode, but I forgot to take the lash and the spear. So I said to them my
companions), "Give me the lash and the spear." But they said, "No, by Allah we will not help you in
any way to hunt it ' I got angry, dismounted, took it the spear and the lash), rode (the horse chased the
onager and wounded it Then I brought it when it had dyed. My companions started eating of its
(cooked) meat, but they suspected that it might be unlawful to eat of its meat while they were in a
state of Ihram Then I proceeded further and I kept one of its forelegs with me. When we met Allah's
Apostle we asked him about that. He said, "Have you some of its meat with you?" I gave him that
foreleg and he ate the meat till he stripped the bone of its flesh although he was in a state of Ihram.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 70, Hadith 35
I went to Abu Wail to ask him (about those who had rebelled against `Ali). On that Abu Wail said,
"We were at Siffin (a city on the bank of the Euphrates, the place where me battle took place between
`Ali and Muawiya) A man said, "Will you be on the side of those who are called to consult Allah's
Book (to settle the dispute)?" `Ali said, 'Yes (I agree that we should settle the matter in the light of the
Qur'an)." ' Some people objected to `Ali's agreement and wanted to fight. On that Sahl bin Hunaif
said, 'Blame yourselves! I remember how, on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (i.e. the peace treaty between
the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Quraish pagans), if we had been allowed to choose fighting, we would have
fought (the pagans). At that time `Umar came (to the Prophet) and said, "Aren't we on the right (path)
and they (pagans) in the wrong? Won't our killed persons go to Paradise, and theirs in the Fire?" The
Prophet replied, "Yes." `Umar further said, "Then why should we let our religion be degraded and
return before Allah has settled the matter between us?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O the son of Al-Khattab!
No doubt, I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Allah will never neglect me." So `Umar left the place angrily and
he was so impatient that he went to Abu Bakr and said, "O Abu Bakr! Aren't we on the right (path)
and they (pagans) on the wrong?" Abu Bakr said, "O the son of Al-Khattab! He is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and
Allah will never neglect him." Then Sura Al-Fath (The Victory) was revealed."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 365
""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
May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that he bestowed (these camels) upon the people of Quraish, and he ignored us, whereas our swords are still dripping blood. Anas b. Malik said: Their statement was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he sent (someone) to the Ansar and gathered them under a tent of leather. When they had assembled, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to them and said: What is this news that has reached me from you? The wise people of the Ansar said: Messenger of Allah, so far as the sagacious amongst us are concerned they have said nothing, but we have amongst us persons of immature age; they said: May Allah grant pardon to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that he gave to the Quraish and ignored us (despite the fact) that our swords are besmeared with their blood. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I give (at times material gifts) to persons who were quite recently in the state of unbelief, so that I may incline them to truth Don't you feel delighted that people should go with riches, and you should go back to your places with the Messenger of Allah? By Allah, that with which you would return is better than that with which they would return. They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah, we are pleased. The Prophet said too: You would find marked preference (in conferring of the material gifts) in future, so you should show patience till you meet Allah and His Messenger and I would he at the Haud Kauthar. They said: We would show patience.
Sahih Muslim Book 12, Hadith 173
Yahya said that he heard Malik speak about someone who pledged
goods as security for a loan, and they perished with the broker. The
one who took out the loan confirmed its specification. They agreed on
the amount of the loan, but challenged each other about the value of
the pledge, the pledger saying that it had been worth twenty dinars,
whilst the broker said that it had been worth only ten, and that the
amount loaned on security was twenty dinars. Malik said, "It is said
to the one in whose hand the pledge is, 'describe it.' If he describes
it he is made to take an oath on it and then the people of experience
evaluate that description. If the value is more than what was loaned
on security for it, it is said to the broker, 'Return the rest of his
due to the pledger.' If the value is less than what was loaned on
security for it, the broker takes the rest of his due from the
pledger. If the value is the exact amount of the loan, the pledge is
compensated for by the loan."
Yahya said that he heard Malik
say, "What is done in our community about two men who have a dispute
about an amount of money loaned on the security of a pledge - the
pledger claiming that he pledged it for ten dinars and the broker
insisting that he took the pledge as security for twenty dinars, and
the pledge is clearly in the possession of the broker - is that the
broker is made to take an oath when the value of the pledge is fully
known. If the value of the pledge is exactly what he swore that he had
loaned on security for it, the broker takes the pledge as his right.
He is more entitled to take precedence with an oath since he has
possession of the pledge. If the owner of the pledge wants to give him
the amount which he swore that he was owed, he can take the pledge
back. If the pledge is worth less than the twenty dinars he loaned,
then it is said to the pledger, 'Either you give him what he has sworn
to and take your pledge back, or you swear to what you said you
pledged it for.' If the pledger takes the oath, then what the broker
has increased over the value of the pledge will become invalid. If the
pledger does not take an oath, he must pay what the broker swore to."
Malik said, "If a pledge given on security for a loan
perishes, and both parties deny each other's rights, with the broker
who is owed the loan saying that he gave twenty dinars, and the
pledger who owes the loan saying that he was given only ten, and with
the broker who is owed the loan saying the pledge was worth ten
dinars, and the broker who owes the loan saying it was worth twenty,
then the broker who is owed the loan is asked to describe the pledge.
If he describes it, he must take an oath on its description. Then
people with experience of it evaluate that description. If the value
of the pledge is estimated to be more than what the broker claims it
was, he takes an oath as to what he claimed, and the pledger is given
what is over from the value of the pledge. If its value is less than
what the broker claims of it, he is made to take an oath as to what he
claims is his. Then he demands settlement according to the actual
value of the pledge. The one who owes the loan is then made to take an
oath on the extra amount which remains owing against him to the
claimant after the price of the pledge is reached. That is because the
broker becomes a claimant against the pledger. If he takes an oath,
the rest of what the broker swore to of what he claimed above the
value of the pledge is invalidated. If he draws back, he is bound to
pay what remains due to the broker after the value of the pledge."
Muwatta Malik Book 36, Hadith 21
I said to Ibn `Abbas, "Nauf-al-Bakali " claims that Moses of Bani Israel was not Moses, the
companion of Al-Khadir." Ibn `Abbas said, "Allah's enemy tells a lie! Ubai bin Ka`b narrated to us
that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Moses got up to deliver a sermon before Bani Israel and he was asked, 'Who
is the most learned person among the people?' Moses replied, 'I (am the most learned).' Allah then
admonished Moses for he did not ascribe all knowledge to Allah only (Then) came the Divine
Inspiration:-- 'Yes, one of Our slaves at the junction of the two seas is more learned than you.'
Moses said, 'O my Lord ! How can meet him?' Allah said, 'Take a fish in a basket and wherever the
fish is lost, follow it (you will find him at that place). So Moses set out along with his attendant
Yusha` bin Noon, and they carried with them a fish till they reached a rock and rested there. Moses
put his head down and slept. (Sufyan, a sub-narrator said that somebody other than `Amr said) 'At the
rock there was a water spring called 'Al-Hayat' and none came in touch with its water but became
alive. So some of the water of that spring fell over that fish, so it moved and slipped out of the basket
and entered the sea. When Moses woke up, he asked his attendant, 'Bring our early meal' (18.62).
The narrator added: Moses did not suffer from fatigue except after he had passed the place he had
been ordered to observe. His attendant Yusha` bin Noon said to him, 'Do you remember (what
happened) when we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget (about) the fish ...' (18.63) The
narrator added: So they came back, retracing their steps and then they found in the sea, the way of the
fish looking like a tunnel. So there was an astonishing event for his attendant, and there was tunnel for
the fish. When they reached the rock, they found a man covered with a garment. Moses greeted him.
The man said astonishingly, 'Is there any such greeting in your land?' Moses said, 'I am Moses.' The
man said, 'Moses of Bani Israel?' Moses said, 'Yes,' and added, 'may I follow you so that you teach me
something of the Knowledge which you have been taught?' (18.66). Al-Khadir said to him, 'O Moses!
You have something of Allah's knowledge which Allah has taught you and which I do not know; and I
have something of Allah's knowledge which Allah has taught me and which you do not know.' Moses
said, 'But I will follow you.' Al-Khadir said, 'Then if you follow me, ask me no question about
anything until I myself speak to you concerning it.' (18.70). After that both of them proceeded along
the seashore. There passed by them a boat whose crew recognized Al-Khadir and received them on
board free of charge. So they both got on board. A sparrow came and sat on the edge of the boat and
dipped its beak unto the sea. Al-Khadir said to Moses. 'My knowledge and your knowledge and all the
creation's knowledge compared to Allah's knowledge is not more than the water taken by this
sparrow's beak.'
Then Moses was startled by Al-Khadir's action of taking an adze and scuttling the boat with it. Moses
said to him, 'These people gave us a free lift, but you intentionally scuttled their boat so as to drown
them. Surely you have...' (18.71) Then they both proceeded and found a boy playing with other
boys. Al-Khadir took hold of him by the head and cut it off. Moses said to him, 'Have you killed an
innocent soul who has killed nobody? Surely you have done an illegal thing! ' (18.74) He said,
"Didn't I tell you that you will not be able to have patient with me up to ..but they refused to entertain
them as their guests. There they found a wall therein at the point of collapsing.' (18.75-77) Al-Khadir
moved his hand thus and set it upright (repaired it). Moses said to him, 'When we entered this town,
they neither gave us hospitality nor fed us; if you had wished, you could have taken wages for it,' Al-
Khadir said, 'This is the parting between you and me I will tell you the interpretation of (those things)
about which you were unable to hold patience.'...(18.78)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'We wished that Moses could have been more patient so that He (Allah) could
have described to us more about their story.' Ibn `Abbas used to recite:-- 'And in front (ahead) of them
there was a king who used to seize every (serviceable) boat by force. (18.79) ...and as for the boy he
was a disbeliever. "
