"Gog and Magog people will be set free and they will
emerge as Allah says: "swoop(ing) down from every mound."
They
will spread throughout the earth, and the Muslims will flee from
them
until the remainder of the Muslims are in their cities and
fortresses,
taking their flocks with them. They will pass by a river
and drink
from it, until they leave nothing behind, and the last of
them will
follow in their footsteps and one of them will say: 'There
was once
water in this place.' They will prevail over the earth, then
their
leader will say: 'These are the people of the earth, and we
have
finished them off. Now let us fight the people of heaven!' Then
one
of them will throw his spear towards the sky, and it will come
back
down smeared with blood. And they will say: 'We have killed the
people of heaven.' While they are like that, Allah will send a worm
like the worm that is found in the noses of sheep, which will
penetrate their necks and they will die like locusts, one on top of
another. In the morning the Muslims will not hear any sound from
them,
and they will say: 'Who will sell his soul for the sake of
Allah and
see what they are doing?' A man will go down, having
prepared himself
to be killed by them, and he will find them dead, so
he will call out
to them: 'Be of good cheer, for your enemy is dead!'
Then the people
will come out and let their flocks loose, but they
will not have
anything to graze on except their flesh, and they will
become very fat
as if they were grazing on the best vegetation they
ever found.'"
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 154
I went along with your father to 'Abdullah b. Amr, and he narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was informed about my fasting and he came to me, and I placed a leather cushion filled with fibre of date-palms for him. He sat down upon the ground and there was that cushion between me and him, and he said to me: Does three days' fasting in a month not suffice you? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts). He said: (Would) five (not suffice for you)? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts) He said: (Would) seven (fasts) not suffice you? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts). He (the Holy Prophet) then said: (Would) nine (fasts not suffice you)? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts). He said: (Would) eleven (fasts not suffice you)? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts than these). Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There is no fasting (better than) the fasting of David which comprises half of the age, fasting a day and not fasting a day.
Sahih Muslim Book 13, Hadith 247
Once we were traveling with the Prophet (ﷺ) and we carried on traveling till the last part of the night and
then we (halted at a place) and slept (deeply). There is nothing sweeter than sleep for a traveler in the
last part of the night. So it was only the heat of the sun that made us to wake up and the first to wake
up was so and so, then so and so and then so and so (the narrator `Auf said that Abu Raja' had told
him their names but he had forgotten them) and the fourth person to wake up was `Umar bin Al-
Khattab. And whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) used to sleep, nobody would wake up him till he himself used to
get up as we did not know what was happening (being revealed) to him in his sleep. So, `Umar got up
and saw the condition of the people, and he was a strict man, so he said, "Allahu Akbar" and raised his
voice with Takbir, and kept on saying loudly till the Prophet (ﷺ) got up because of it. When he got up, the
people informed him about what had happened to them. He said, "There is no harm (or it will not be
harmful). Depart!" So they departed from that place, and after covering some distance the Prophet (ﷺ)
stopped and asked for some water to perform the ablution. So he performed the ablution and the call
for the prayer was pronounced and he led the people in prayer. After he finished from the prayer, he
saw a man sitting aloof who had not prayed with the people. He asked, "O so and so! What has
prevented you from praying with us?" He replied, "I am Junub and there is no water. " The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Perform Tayammum with (clean) earth and that is sufficient for you."
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded on and the people complained to him of thirst. Thereupon he got down
and called a person (the narrator `Auf added that Abu Raja' had named him but he had forgotten) and
`Ali, and ordered them to go and bring water. So they went in search of water and met a woman who
was sitting on her camel between two bags of water. They asked, "Where can we find water?" She
replied, "I was there (at the place of water) this hour yesterday and my people are behind me." They
requested her to accompany them. She asked, "Where?" They said, "To Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." She said,
"Do you mean the man who is called the Sabi, (with a new religion)?" They replied, "Yes, the same
person. So come along." They brought her to the Prophet (ﷺ) and narrated the whole story. He said, "Help
her to dismount." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for a pot, then he opened the mouths of the bags and poured
some water into the pot. Then he closed the big openings of the bags and opened the small ones and
the people were called upon to drink and water their animals.
So they all watered their animals and they (too) all quenched their thirst and also gave water to others
and last of all the Prophet (ﷺ) gave a pot full of water to the person who was Junub and told him to pour it
over his body. The woman was standing and watching all that which they were doing with her water.
By Allah, when her water bags were returned the looked like as if they were more full (of water) than
they had been before (Miracle of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to collect something
for her; so dates, flour and Sawiq were collected which amounted to a good meal that was put in a
piece of cloth. She was helped to ride on her camel and that cloth full of foodstuff was also placed in
front of her and then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "We have not taken your water but Allah has given water
to us." She returned home late. Her relatives asked her: "O so and so what has delayed you?" She said,
"A strange thing! Two men met me and took me to the man who is called the Sabi' and he did such
and such a thing. By Allah, he is either the greatest magician between this and this (gesturing with her
index and middle fingers raising them towards the sky indicating the heaven and the earth) or he is
Allah's true Apostle."
Afterwards the Muslims used to attack the pagans around her abode but never touched her village.
One day she said to her people, "I think that these people leave you purposely. Have you got any
inclination to Islam?" They obeyed her and all of them embraced Islam.
Abu `Abdullah said: The word Saba'a means "The one who has deserted his old religion and embraced
a new religion." Abul 'Ailya said, "The S`Abis are a sect of people of the Scripture who recite the
Book of Psalms."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 7, Hadith 11
We raised our voices in talbiyah for Hajj. When we reached Sarif, I menstruated. The Messenger of Allah (SWAS) came upon me while I was weeping. He asked, why are your weeping, Ai’shah? I replied, I menstruated. Would that I had not come out for performing Hajj. He said : Glory be to Allah, this is a thing prescribed by Allah on the daughters of Adam. He said perform all the rites of Hajj but do not go round the House (the Ka’bah). When we entered Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (SWAS) said he who desires to make (his Hajj) an `Umrah may do so, except those who have sacrificial animals with them. The Messenger of Allah (SWAS) sacrificed a cow on behalf of his wives on the day of sacrifice. When the night of al-Batha came, and Ai’shah was purified she said to the Messenger of Allah (SWAS) my fellow female pilgrims will return after performing Hajj and `Umrah and I shall return after performing only Hajj? He therefore, ordered `Abd al-Rahman bin Abu Bakr who took her to al-Ta’nim. She uttered there talbiyah for `Umrah.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 11, Hadith 62
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, led
the people in prayer. He stood, and did so for a long time. Then he
went into ruku, and made the ruku long. Then he stood again, and did
so for a long time, though not as long as the first time. Then he went
into ruku, and made the ruku long, though not as long as thefirst
time. Then he rose, and went down into sajda. He then did the same in
the second raka, and by the time he had finished the sun had appeared.
He then gave a khutba to the people, in which he praised Allah and
then said, 'The sun and the moon are two of Allah's signs. They do not
eclipse for anyone's death nor for anyone's life. When you see an
eclipse, call on Allah and say, "Allah is greater" and give sadaqa.'
Then he said, 'O community of Muhammad! ByAllah, there is no-one more
jealous than Allah of a male or female slave of his who commits
adultery. O community of Muhammad! By Allah, if you knew what I knew,
you would laugh little and weep much'."
Muwatta Malik Book 12, Hadith 1
Yahya related to me from Malik from Malik from Abu Hazim ibn
Dinar from Sahl ibn Sad as-Saidi that a woman came to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "Messenger
of Allah! I have given myself to you." She stood for a long time, and
then a man got up and said, "Messenger of Allah, marry her to me if
you have no need of her." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Do you have anything to give her as a
bride-price?" He said, "I possess only this lower garment of mine."
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"If you give it to her you will not have a garment to wear so look for
something else." He said, "I have nothing else." He said, "Look for
something else, even if it is only an iron ring." He looked, and found
that he had nothing. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Do you know any of the Qur'an?" He said, "Yes.
I know such-and-such a sura and such-and-such a sura," which he named.
The Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said
to him, "I have married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an."
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 8
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar, when asked about the fear prayer said, "The imam and a group of people go forward and the imam prays a raka with them, while another group, who have not yet prayed, position themselves between him and the enemy. When those who are with him have prayed a raka they draw back to where those who have not prayed are, and do not say the taslim. Then those who have not prayed come forward and pray a raka with him. Then the imam leaves, as he has now prayed two rakas. Everyone else in the two groups stands and prays a raka by himself after the imam has left. In this way each of the two groups will have prayed two rakas. If the fear is greater than that, then the men pray standing on their feet or mounted, either facing the qibla or otherwise."
Muwatta Malik Book 11, Hadith 3
“The Prophet (ﷺ) used to supplicate, saying: “My Lord, aid me and do not aid against me, and grant me victory and do not grant victory over me, plot for me and do not plot against me, guide me and facilitate guidance for me, grant me victory over those who transgress against me. My Lord, make me ever-grateful to You, ever-remembering of You, ever-fearful of You, ever-obedient to You, ever-humble to You, oft-turning and returning to You. My Lord, accept my repentance, wash my sin, answer my call, make firm my proof, make firm my tongue, guide my heart, and remove the treachery of my chest (Rabbi a`innī wa lā tu`in `alayya, wanṣurnī wa lā tanṣur `alayya, wamkur lī wa lā tamkur `alayya, wahdinī wa yassiril-huda lī, wanṣurnī `alā man baghā `alayya. Rabbij`alnī laka shakkāran, laka dhakkāran, laka rahhāban, laka miṭwā`an, laka mukhbitan, ilaika awwāhan munība. Rabbi taqabbal tawbatī, waghsil ḥawbatī, wa ajib da`watī, wa thabbit ḥujjatī, wa saddid lisānī, wahdi qalbī, waslul sakhīmata ṣadrī).”
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 48, Hadith 182
Regarding His (Allah's) Statement:-- 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to make haste
therewith.' (75.16) And whenever Gabriel descended to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with the Divine Inspiration,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to move his tongue and lips, and that used to be hard for him, and one could
easily recognize that he was being inspired Divinely. So Allah revealed the Verse which occurs in the
Surah starting with "I do swear by the Day of Resurrection.' (75.1) i.e. 'Move not your tongue
concerning (the Qur'an) to make haste then with. It is for Us to collect it (in your mind) (O
Muhammad) an give you the ability to recite it 'by heart.' (75.16-17) which means: It is for us to
collect it (in your mind) and give you the ability to recite it by heart. And when We have recited it to
you (O Muhammad) through Gabriel then follow you its recital. (75.18) means: 'When We reveal it
(the Qur'an) to you, Listen to it.' for then: It is for Us to explain it and make it clear to you' (75.19)
i.e. It is up to Us to explain it through your tongue. So, when Gabriel came to him, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
would listen to him attentively, and as soon as Gabriel left, he would recite the Revelations, as Allah
had promised him.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 66, Hadith 68
When Abu Talib was on his death bed, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to him and found with him, Abu Jahl and
`Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to
be worshipped except Allah, a sentence with which I will defend you before Allah." On that Abu Jahl
and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said to Abu Talib, "Will you now leave the religion of `Abdul
Muttalib?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on inviting him to say that sentence while the other two kept on
repeating their sentence before him till Abu Talib said as the last thing he said to them, "I am on the
religion of `Abdul Muttalib," and refused to say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.
On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am
forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed:--
'It is not fitting for the Prophet (ﷺ) and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness
for pagans.' (9.113) And then Allah revealed especially about Abu Talib:--'Verily! You (O,
Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will.' (28.56)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 294
The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in the Zuhr prayer, offering only two rak`at and then (finished it) with Taslim, and
went to a piece of wood in front of the mosque and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and `Umar were
also present among the people on that day but dared not talk to him (about his unfinished prayer). And
the hasty people went away, wondering. "Has the prayer been shortened" Among the people there was
a man whom the Prophet (ﷺ) used to call Dhul-Yadain (the longarmed). He said, "O Allah's Prophet!
Have you forgotten or has the prayer been shortened?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Neither have I forgotten,
nor has it been shortened." They (the people) said, "Surely, you have forgotten, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Dhul-Yadain has told the truth." So the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and offered other two rak`at
and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then he said Takbir, performed a prostration of ordinary duration
or longer, then he raised his head and said Takbir and performed another prostration of ordinary
duration or longer and then raised his head and said Takbir (i.e. he performed the two prostrations of
Sahu, i.e., forgetfulness).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 81
Malik said that Ibn Shihab said, "The precedent of the sunna in
the intentional murder is that when the relatives of the murdered
person relinquish retaliation, the blood-money is owed by the murderer
from his own property unless the tribe helps him with it willingly."
Malik said, "What is done in our community is that the blood-
money is not obliged against the tribe until it has reached a third of
the full amount and upwards. Whatever reaches a third is against the
tribe, and whatever is below a third, is against the property of the
one who did the injury."
Malik said, "The way of doing things
about which there is no dispute among us, in the case of someone who
has the blood-money accepted from him in intentional murder or in any
injury in which there is retaliation, is that that blood-money is not
due from the tribe unless they wish it. The blood-money for that is
from the property of the murderer or the injurer if he has property.
If he does not have any property, it is a debt against him, and none
of it is owed by the tribe unless they wish."
Malik said,
"The tribe does not pay blood-money to anyone who injures himself,
intentionally or accidentally. This is the opinion of the people of
fiqh in our community. I have not heard that anyone has made the tribe
liable for any blood-money incurred by intentional acts. Part of what
is well-known of that is that Allah, the Blessed, and the Exalted,
said in His Book, 'Whoever has something pardoned him by his brother,
should follow it with what is accepted and pay it with good will'
(Sura 2 ayat 178) The commentary on that - in our view - and Allah
knows best, is that whoever gives his brother something of the blood-
money, should follow it with what is accepted and pay him with good
will."
Malik spoke about a child who had no property and a
woman who had no property. He said, "When one of them causes an injury
below a third of the blood-money, it is taken on behalf of the child
and woman from their personal property, if they have property from
which it may be taken. If not, the injury which each of them has
caused is a debt against them. The tribe does not have to pay any of
it and the father of a child is not liable for the blood-money of an
injury caused by the child and he is not responsible for it."
Malik said, "The way of doing things in our community about which
there is no dispute, is that when a slave is killed, the value for him
is that of the day on which he was killed. The tribe of the murderer
is not liable for any of the value of the slave, great or small. That
is the responsibility of the one who struck him from his own personal
property as far as it covers. If the value of the slave is the blood-
money or more, that is against him in his property. That is because
the slave is a certain type of goods."
Muwatta Malik Book 43, Hadith 33
