(the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to invoke Allah in the prayer saying "Allahumma inni
a`udhu bika min `adhabi l-qabr, wa a`udhu bika min fitnati l-masihi d-dajjal, wa a`udhu bika min
fitnati l-mahya wa fitnati l-mamat. Allahumma inni a`udhu bika mina l-ma'thami wa l-maghram. (O
Allah, I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, from the afflictions of the imposter-
Messiah, and from the afflictions of life and death. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from sins and
from debt)." Somebody said to him, "Why do you so frequently seek refuge with Allah from being in
debt?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "A person in debt tells lies whenever he speaks, and breaks promises
whenever he makes (them)." `Aisha also narrated: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in his prayer seeking refuge
with Allah from the afflictions of Ad-Dajjal.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 10, Hadith 226
That when he went to 'Umar during his Caliphate. 'Umar said to him,
"Haven't I been told that you do certain jobs for the people but when
you are given payment you refuse to take it?" 'Abdullah added: I said,
"Yes." 'Umar said, "Why do you do so?" I said, "I have horses and
slaves and I am living in prosperity and I wish that my payment should
be kept as a charitable gift for the Muslims." 'Umar said, "Do not do
so, for I intended to do the same as you do. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s used to
give me gifts and I used to say to him, 'Give it to a more needy one
than me.' Once he gave me some money and I said, 'Give it to a more
needy person than me,' whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Take it and keep
it in your possession and then give it in charity. Take what ever
comes to you of this money if you are not keen to have it and not
asking for it; otherwise (i.e., if it does not come to you) do not
seek to have it yourself.' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 93, Hadith 27
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived at Medina with Abu Bakr, riding behind him on the same camel. Abu Bakr
was an elderly man known to the people, while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was a youth that was unknown. Thus,
if a man met Abu Bakr, he would say, "O Abu Bakr! Who is this man in front of you?" Abu Bakr
would say, "This man shows me the Way," One would think that Abu Bakr meant the road, while in
fact, Abu Bakr meant the way of virtue and good. Then Abu Bakr looked behind and saw a horse-rider
pursuing them. He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This is a horse-rider pursuing us." The Prophet (ﷺ) looked
behind and said, "O Allah! Cause him to fall down." So the horse threw him down and got up
neighing. After that the rider, Suraqa said, "O Allah's Prophet! Order me whatever you want." The
Prophet said, "Stay where you are and do not allow anybody to reach us." So, in the first part of the
day Suraqa was an enemy of Allah's Prophet and in the last part of it, he was a protector. Then Allah's
Apostle alighted by the side of the Al-Harra and sent a message to the Ansar, and they came to Allah's
Prophet and Abu Bakr, and having greeted them, they said, "Ride (your she-camels) safe and obeyed."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr rode and the Ansar, carrying their arms, surrounded them. The news
that Allah's Prophet had come circulated in Medina. The people came out and were eagerly looking
and saying "Allah's Prophet has come! Allah's Prophet has come! So the Prophet (ﷺ) went on till he
alighted near the house of Abu Ayub. While the Prophet (ﷺ) was speaking with the family members of
Abu Ayub, `Abdullah bin Salam heard the news of his arrival while he himself was picking the dates
for his family from his family garden. He hurried to the Prophet (ﷺ) carrying the dates which he had
collected for his family from the garden. He listened to Allah's Prophet and then went home.
Then Allah's Prophet said, "Which is the nearest of the houses of our kith and kin?" Abu Ayub
replied, "Mine, O Allah's Prophet! This is my house and this is my gate." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and
prepare a place for our midday rest." Abu Ayub said, "Get up (both of you) with Allah's Blessings."
So when Allah's Prophet went into the house, `Abdullah bin Salam came and said "I testify that you
(i.e. Muhammad) are Apostle of Allah and that you have come with the Truth. The Jews know well
that I am their chief and the son of their chief and the most learned amongst them and the son of the
most learned amongst them. So send for them (i.e. Jews) and ask them about me before they know
that I have embraced Islam, for if they know that they will say about me things which are not correct."
So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent for them, and they came and entered. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them, "O (the
group of) Jews! Woe to you: be afraid of Allah. By Allah except Whom none has the right to be
worshipped, you people know for certain, that I am Apostle of Allah and that I have come to you with
the Truth, so embrace Islam." The Jews replied, "We do not know this." So they said this to the
Prophet and he repeated it thrice. Then he said, "What sort of a man is `Abdullah bin Salam amongst
you?" They said, "He is our chief and the son of our chief and the most learned man, and the son of
the most learned amongst us." He said, "What would you think if he should embrace Islam?" They
said, "Allah forbid! He can not embrace Islam." He said, " What would you think if he should
embrace Islam?" They said, "Allah forbid! He can not embrace Islam." He said, "What would you
think if he should embrace Islam?" They said, "Allah forbid! He can not embrace Islam." He said, "O
Ibn Salam! Come out to them." He came out and said, "O (the group of) Jews! Be afraid of Allah
except Whom none has the right to be worshipped. You know for certain that he is Apostle of Allah
and that he has brought a True Religion!' They said, "You tell a lie." On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) turned
them out.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 63, Hadith 136
A bedouin came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's apostle! I ask you by Allah to judge My case
according to Allah's Laws." His opponent, who was more learned than he, said, "Yes, judge between
us according to Allah's Laws, and allow me to speak." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Speak." He (i .e. the
bedouin or the other man) said, "My son was working as a laborer for this (man) and he committed
illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me that it was obligatory that my son should
be stoned to death, so in lieu of that I ransomed my son by paying one hundred sheep and a slave girl.
Then I asked the religious scholars about it, and they informed me that my son must be lashed one
hundred lashes, and be exiled for one year, and the wife of this (man) must be stoned to death."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I will judge between you according to
Allah's Laws. The slave-girl and the sheep are to be returned to you, your son is to receive a hundred
lashes and be exiled for one year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses her
guilt, stone her to death." Unais went to that woman next morning and she confessed. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
ordered that she be stoned to death.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 54, Hadith 13
While I was praying with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), a man in the company sneezed. I said: Allah have mercy on you! The people stared at me with disapproving looks, so I said: Woe be upon me, why is it that you stare at me? They began to strike their hands on their thighs, and when I saw them urging me to observe silence (I became angry) but I said nothing. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said the prayer (and I declare that neither before him nor after him have I seen a leader who gave better instruction than he for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom). I swear that he did not scold, beat or revile me but said: Talking to persons is not fitting during the prayer, for it consists of glorifying Allah, declaring his Greatness. and recitation of the Qur'an or words to that effect. I said: Messenger of Allah. I was till recently a pagan, but Allah has brought Islam to us; among us there are men who have recourse to Kahins. He said, Do not have recourse to them. I said. There are men who take omens. That is something which they find in their breasts, but let it not turn their way (from freedom of action). I said: Among us there are men who draw lines. He said: There was a prophet who drew lines, so if they do it as they did, that is allowable. I had a maid-servant who tended goats by the side of Uhud and Jawwaniya. One day I happened to pass that way and found that a wolf had carried a goat from her flock. I am after all a man from the posterity of Adam. I felt sorry as they (human beings) feel sorry. So I slapped her. I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and felt (this act of mine) as something grievous I said: Messenger of Allah, should I not grant her freedom? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Bring her to me. So I brought her to him. He said to her: Where is Allah? She said: He is in the heaven. He said: Who am I? She said: Thou art the Messenger of Allah. He said: Grant her freedom, she is a believing woman.
Sahih Muslim Book 5, Hadith 39
A paternal uncle of his who was present at Badr told him, that a man entered the masjid and prayed, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was watching, but we did not realize. When he had finished, he came and greeted the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with salam. He said: "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." So he went back and prayed, then he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." (This happened) two or three times. Then the man said to him: "By the One who has honored you , O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I have tried my best; teach me." He said: "When you get up to pray, perform wudu and do it well, then turn to face the Qiblah and say the takbir. Then recite the Quran, then bow until you are at ease in bowing. Then stand up until you are standing straight, then prostrate until you are at ease prostrating, then sit up until you are at ease sitting, then prostrate until you are at ease prostrating, then get up, and continue doing that until you have finished your prayer."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 13, Hadith 135
"My husband divorced me three times, and he used to provide me with food that was not good." She said: "By Allah, if I were entitled to maintenance and accommodation I would demand them and I would not accept this." The deputy said: "You are not entitled to accommodation or maintenance." She said: "I came to the Prophet and told him about that, and he said: 'You are not entitled to accommodation nor maintenance; observe your 'Iddah in the house of so-and-so.' She said: 'His Companions used to go to her.' Then he said: 'Observe your 'Iddah in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, who is blind, and when your 'Iddah is over, let me know.'" She said: "When my 'Iddah was over, I let him know. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Who has proposed marriage to you?' I said: 'Mu'awiyah and another man from the Quraish.' He said: 'As for Mu'awiyah, he is a boy among the Quraish and does not have anything, and as for the other he is a bad man with no goodness in him. Rather you should marry Usamah bin Zaid.'" She said: "I did not like the idea." But he said that to her three times so she married him.
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 26, Hadith 49
Abu Shuraih, Al-`Adawi said that he had said to `Amr bin Sa`id when he was sending the troops to
Mecca (to fight `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair), "O Chief! Allow me to tell you what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said
on the day following the Conquest of Mecca. My ears heard that and my heart understood it
thoroughly and I saw with my own eyes the Prophet (ﷺ) when he, after Glorifying and Praising Allah,
started saying, 'Allah, not the people, made Mecca a sanctuary, so anybody who has belief in Allah
and the Last Day should neither shed blood in it, nor should he cut down its trees. If anybody tells
(argues) that fighting in it is permissible on the basis that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did fight in Mecca, say to
him, 'Allah allowed His Apostle and did not allow you.' "Allah allowed me only for a few hours on
that day (of the conquest) and today its sanctity is valid as it was before. So, those who are present
should inform those who are absent (concerning this fact." Abu Shuraih was asked, "What did `Amr
reply?" He said, (`Amr said) 'O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you in this respect Mecca does not
give protection to a sinner, a murderer or a thief."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 28, Hadith 12
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out (towards Mecca) during the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) and this
news reached (the infidels of Quraish), Abu Sufyan, Hakim bin Hizam and Budail bin Warqa came
out to gather information about Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , They proceeded on their way till they reached a place
called Marr-az-Zahran (which is near Mecca). Behold! There they saw many fires as if they were the
fires of `Arafat. Abu Sufyan said, "What is this? It looked like the fires of `Arafat." Budail bin Warqa'
said, "Banu `Amr are less in number than that." Some of the guards of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw them and
took them over, caught them and brought them to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Abu Sufyan embraced Islam.
When the Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded, he said to Al-Abbas, "Keep Abu Sufyan standing at the top of the
mountain so that he would look at the Muslims. So Al-`Abbas kept him standing (at that place) and
the tribes with the Prophet (ﷺ) started passing in front of Abu Sufyan in military batches. A batch passed
and Abu Sufyan said, "O `Abbas Who are these?" `Abbas said, "They are (Banu) Ghifar." Abu Sufyan
said, I have got nothing to do with Ghifar." Then (a batch of the tribe of) Juhaina passed by and he
said similarly as above. Then (a batch of the tribe of) Sa`d bin Huzaim passed by and he said similarly
as above. then (Banu) Sulaim passed by and he said similarly as above. Then came a batch, the like of
which Abu Sufyan had not seen. He said, "Who are these?" `Abbas said, "They are the Ansar headed
by Sa`d bin Ubada, the one holding the flag." Sa`d bin Ubada said, "O Abu Sufyan! Today is the day
of a great battle and today (what is prohibited in) the Ka`ba will be permissible." Abu Sufyan said., "O
`Abbas! How excellent the day of destruction is! "Then came another batch (of warriors) which was
the smallest of all the batches, and in it there was Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions and the flag of
the Prophet (ﷺ) was carried by Az-Zubair bin Al Awwam. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) passed by Abu Sufyan,
the latter said, (to the Prophet), "Do you know what Sa`d bin 'Ubada said?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What
did he say?" Abu Sufyan said, "He said so-and-so." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Sa`d told a lie, but today Allah
will give superiority to the Ka`ba and today the Ka`ba will be covered with a (cloth) covering."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered that his flag be fixed at Al-Hajun.
Narrated `Urwa: Nafi` bin Jubair bin Mut`im said, "I heard Al-Abbas saying to Az-Zubair bin Al-
`Awwam, 'O Abu `Abdullah ! Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) order you to fix the flag here?' " Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
ordered Khalid bin Al-Walid to enter Mecca from its upper part from Ka'da while the Prophet (ﷺ) himself
entered from Kuda. Two men from the cavalry of Khalid bin Al-Wahd named Hubaish bin Al-Ash'ar
and Kurz bin Jabir Al-Fihri were martyred on that day.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 314
Yahya related to me from Malik, from Hisham ibn Urwa, from his
father, that A'isha, umm al-muminin, said to him, "Son of my sister,
it is only for ten nights, so if you get an urge to do something,
leave it," by which she meant eating game-meat.
Malik said
that if game was hunted forthe sake of a man who is in ihram and it
was prepared for him and he ate some of it knowing that it had been
hunted for his sake, then he had to pay a forfeit for all of the game
that had been hunted on his behalf.
Malik was asked about
whether someone who was forced to eat carrion while he was in ihram
should hunt game and then eat that rather than the carrion, and he
said, "It is better for him to eat the carrion, because Allah, the
Blessed and Exalted, has not given permission for someone in ihram to
either eat game or take it in any situation, but He has made
allowances for eating carrion when absolutely necessary."
Malik said, "It is not halal for anyone, whether in ihram or not, to
eat game which has been killed or sacrificed by some one in ihram,
because, whether it was killed deliberately or by mistake, it was not
done in a halal manner, and so eating it is not halal. I have heard
this from more than one person. Somebody who kills game and then eats
it only has to make a single kaffara, which is the same as for
somebody who kills game but does not eat any of it."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 87
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said
to ‘Abbas: ‘O uncle, shall I not give you a gift, shall I not
benefit you, shall I not uphold my ties of kinship with you?’ He
said:
‘Of course, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Pray four
Rak’ah, and
recite in each Rak’ah the Opening of the Book
(Al-Fatihah) and a
Surah. When you have finished reciting, say:
Subhan-Allah wal-hamdu
Lillah wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar
(Glory is to Allah, praise
is to Allah, none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and Allah
is the Most Great) fifteen times
before you bow in Ruku’. Then bow and
say it ten times; then raise
your head and say it ten times; then
prostrate and say it ten times;
then raise your head and say it ten
times; then prostrate and say it
ten times; then raise your head and
say it ten times before you stand
up. That wil be seventy-five times
in each Rak’ah and three hundred
times in the four Rak’ah, and even if
your sins are like the grains
of sand, Allah will forgive you for
them.’ He said: ‘O Messenger
of Allah, what if someone cannot say it
in one day?’ He said: ‘Then
say it once in a week; if you cannot, then
say it once in a month’
until he said: ‘Once in a year.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 584
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) came to my house while two girls were singing beside me the songs of Buath
(a story about the war between the two tribes of the Ansar, the Khazraj and the Aus, before Islam).
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) lay down and turned his face to the other side. Then Abu Bakr came and spoke
to me harshly saying, "Musical instruments of Satan near the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
(p.b.u.h) turned his face towards him and said, "Leave them." When Abu Bakr became inattentive, I
signaled to those girls to go out and they left. It was the day of `Id, and the Black people were playing
with shields and spears; so either I requested the Prophet (p.b.u.h) or he asked me whether I would
like to see the display. I replied in the affirmative. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) made me stand behind
him and my cheek was touching his cheek and he was saying, "Carry on! O Bani Arfida," till I got
tired. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked me, "Are you satisfied (Is that sufficient for you)?" I replied in the
affirmative and he told me to leave.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 13, Hadith 2
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood, then (later) he sat". (Sahih)
There are narrations on this topic from Al-Hasan bin 'Ali, and Ibn 'Abbas.
Abu Eisa said: The Hadith of 'Ali is a Hasan Sahih Hadith, regarding which there are narrations from four of the Tabi'in narrating it from each other. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. Ash-Shafi'i said: "This is the most correct thing on this topic" This Hadith abrogates first Hadith: "Whenever you see a funeral (procession), stand up ."
Ahmad said: "If he wants, he stands, and if he wants, he does not stand." His proof is that it has been reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) stood, then sat, and this is what Ishaq bin Ibrahim said.
(Abu Eisa said:) As for the saying of 'Ali: The Prophet (ﷺ) stood for the funeral and then sat, he means that the Prophet (ﷺ) would stand when he saw a funeral (procession), then he did not do so later, so he would not stand when he saw the funeral (procession).
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 10, Hadith 80
"We said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), we know about sending salams upon you, but how should we send salah upon you?' He said: "Say: 'Alahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala ali Muhammad, kama sallaita 'ala Ibrahima wa barik 'ala Muhammad kama barakta 'ala ali Ibrahim fil-'alamin, innaka hamidun majid (O Allah, send salah upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent salah upon the family of Ibrahim, and send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim among the nations. You are indeed Worthy of praise, Full of glory.)'" (One of the narrators) Ibn Abi Laila said: "We used to say: 'And also upon us.'" Abu Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'I) said: It was narrated from his book, and this is a mistake.
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 13, Hadith 109
`Aisha said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "O Aisha! Were your nation not close to the Pre-Islamic
Period of Ignorance, I would have had the Ka`ba demolished and would have included in it the portion
which had been left, and would have made it at a level with the ground and would have made two
doors for it, one towards the east and the other towards the west, and then by doing this it would have
been built on the foundations laid by Abraham." That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair to demolish the
Ka`ba. Jazz said, "I saw Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka`ba and included in it a
portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka`ba which is at present in the form of a compound
towards the northwest of the Ka`ba). I saw the original foundations of Abraham which were of stones
resembling the humps of camels." So Jarir asked Yazid, "Where was the place of those stones?" Jazz
said, "I will just now show it to you." So Jarir accompanied Yazid and entered Al-Hijr, and Jazz
pointed to a place and said, "Here it is." Jarir said, "It appeared to me about six cubits from Al-Hijr or
so."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 25, Hadith 72
