"Aflah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu'ais, came and asked permission to enter, and I said: 'I will not let him in until I seek the permission of the Prophet of Allah.' When the Prophet of Allah came, I said to him: 'Aflah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu'ais, came and asked permission to enter, but I refused to let him in.' He said: 'Let him in, for he is your paternal uncle.' I said: 'The wife of Abu Al-Qu'ais breast-fed me; the man did not breast-feed me.' He said: 'Let him in, for he is your paternal uncle.'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 26, Hadith 123
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah said: 'The son of Adam tells a lie against Me,, though he hasn't the right to
do so. He abuses me though he hasn't the right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is his
saying that I will not recreate him as I created him for the first time. In fact, the first creation was not
easier for Me than new creation. As for his abusing Me, it is his saying that Allah has begotten
children, while I am the One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need, I beget not, nor was
I begotten, and there is none like unto Me."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 496
As-Salamu-'Alaikum, here is 'Abdullah b. Qais, but he did not permit him (to get in). He (Abu Musa Ash'ari) again greeted him with as-Salamu-'Alaikum and said: Here is Abu Musa, but he (Hadrat 'Umar) did not permit him (to get in). He again said: As-Salam-u-'Alaikum, (and said) here is Ash'ari, (then receiving no response he came back). He (Hadrat 'Umar) said: Bring him back to me, bring him back to me So he went there (in the presence of Hadrat 'Umar) and he said to him: Abu Musa, what made you go back, while we were busy in some work? He said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may. peace be upon him) as saying: Permission should be sought thrice. And if you are permitted, (then get in), otherwise go back. He said: Bring witness to this fact, otherwise I shall do this and that, i. e. I shall punish you. Abu Musa went away and 'Umar said to him (on his departure): It he (Abu Musa) finds a witness he should meet him by the side of the pulpit in the evening and it he does not find a witness you would not find him there. When it was evening he (Hadrat 'Umar) found him (Abu Musa) there. He (Hadrat 'Umar) said: Abu Musa, have you been able to find a witness to what you have said? He said: Yes. Here is Ubayy bin Ka'b, whereupon he (Hadrat 'Umar) said: Yes, he is an authentic (witness). He (Hadrat 'Umar) said: Abu Tufail (the kunya of Ubayy b. Ka'b), what does he (Abu Musa say? Thereupon he said: Ibn Khattab, I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying so. Do not prove to be a hard (task-master) for the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), whereupon he Hadrat 'Umar said: Hallowed be Allah. I had heard something (in this connection), but I wished it to be established (as an undeniable fact).
Sahih Muslim Book 38, Hadith 48
Malik related to me that he heard that Urwa ibn az-Zubayr and
Sulayman ibn Yasar when asked whether the sons of a man, who had a
kitaba written for himself and his children and then died, worked for
the kitaba of their father or were slaves, said, "They work for the
kitaba of their father and they have no reduction at all for the death
of their father."
Malik said, "If they are small and unable
to work, one does not wait for them to grow up and they are slaves of
their father's master unless the mukatab has left what will pay their
instalments for them until they can work. If there is enough to pay
for them in what he has left, that is paid for on their behalf and
they are left in their condition until they can work, and then if they
pay, they are free. If they cannot do it, they are slaves."
Malik spoke about a mukatab who died and left property which was not
enough to pay his kitaba, and he also left a child with him in his
kitaba and an umm walad, and the umm walad wanted to work for them. He
said, "The money is paid to her if she is trustworthy with it and
strong enough to work. If she is not strong enough to work and not
trustworthy with property, she is not given any of it and she and the
children of the mukatab revert to being slaves of the master of the
mukatab."
Malik said, "If people are written together in one
kitaba and there is no kinship between them, and some of them are
incapable and others work until they are all set free, those who
worked can claim from those who were unable, the portion of what they
paid for them because some of them assumed the responsibility for
others."
Muwatta Malik Book 39, Hadith 8
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) deputed me to keep Sadaqat (al-Fitr) of Ramadan. A
comer came and started taking handfuls of the foodstuff (of the
Sadaqa) (stealthily). I took hold of him and said, "By Allah, I will
take you to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." He said, "I am needy and have many
dependents, and I am in great need." I released him, and in the
morning Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked me, "What did your prisoner do
yesterday?" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The person complained of being
needy and of having many dependents, so, I pitied him and let him go."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Indeed, he told you a lie and he will be coming
again." I believed that he would show up again as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had
told me that he would return. So, I waited for him watchfully. When he
(showed up and) started stealing handfuls of foodstuff, I caught hold
of him again and said, "I will definitely take you to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
He said, "Leave me, for I am very needy and have many dependents. I
promise I will not come back again." I pitied him and let him go.
In the morning Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked me, "What did your prisoner do."
I replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! He complained of his great need and of
too many dependents, so I took pity on him and set him free." Allah's
Apostle said, "Verily, he told you a lie and he will return." I waited
for him attentively for the third time, and when he (came and) started
stealing handfuls of the foodstuff, I caught hold of him and said, "I
will surely take you to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as it is the third time you
promise not to return, yet you break your promise and come." He said,
"(Forgive me and) I will teach you some words with which Allah will
benefit you." I asked, "What are they?" He replied, "Whenever you go
to bed, recite "Ayat-al-Kursi"-- 'Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul
Qaiyum' till you finish the whole verse. (If you do so), Allah will
appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no satan will come
near you till morning. " So, I released him. In the morning, Allah's
Apostle asked, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?" I replied, "He
claimed that he would teach me some words by which Allah will benefit
me, so I let him go." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "What are they?" I
replied, "He said to me, 'Whenever you go to bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi
from the beginning to the end ---- Allahu la ilaha illa
huwa-lHaiy-ul-Qaiyum----.' He further said to me, '(If you do so),
Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you, and no
satan will come near you till morning.' (Abu Huraira or another
sub-narrator) added that they (the companions) were very keen to do
good deeds. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He really spoke the truth, although he
is an absolute liar. Do you know whom you were talking to, these three
nights, O Abu Huraira?" Abu Huraira said, "No." He said, "It was
Satan."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 40, Hadith 11
Ya`la bin Muslim and `Amr bin Dinar and some others narrated the narration of Sa`id bin Jubair.
Narrated Sa`id: While we were at the house of Ibn `Abbas, Ibn `Abbas said, "Ask me (any question)" I
said, "O Abu `Abbas! May Allah let me be sacrificed for you ! There is a man at Kufa who is a storyteller
called Nauf; who claims that he (Al-Khadir's companion) is not Moses of Bani Israel." As for
`Amr, he said to me, "Ibn `Abbas said, "(Nauf) the enemy of Allah told a lie." But Ya`la said to me,
"Ibn `Abbas said, Ubai bin Ka`b said, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Once Moses, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), preached to
the people till their eyes shed tears and their hearts became tender, whereupon he finished his sermon.
Then a man came to Moses and asked, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is there anyone on the earth who is more
learned than you?' Moses replied, 'No.' So Allah admonished him (Moses), for he did not ascribe all
knowledge to Allah. It was said, (on behalf of Allah), 'Yes, (there is a slave of ours who knows more
than you ).' Moses said, 'O my Lord! Where is he?' Allah said, 'At the junction of the two seas.' Moses
said, 'O my Lord ! Tell I me of a sign whereby I will recognize the place.' " `Amr said to me, Allah
said, "That place will be where the fish will leave you." Ya`la said to me, "Allah said (to Moses),
'Take a dead fish (and your goal will be) the place where it will become alive.' " So Moses took a fish
and put it in a basket and said to his boy-servant "I don't want to trouble you, except that you should
inform me as soon as this fish leaves you." He said (to Moses)." You have not demanded too much."
And that is as mentioned by Allah:
'And (remember) when Moses said to his attendant .... ' (18.60) Yusha` bin Noon. (Sa`id did not state
that). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "While the attendant was in the shade of the rock at a wet place, the fish
slipped out (alive) while Moses was sleeping. His attend an said (to himself), "I will not wake him, but
when he woke up, he forgot to tell him The fish slipped out and entered the sea. Allah stopped the
flow of the sea. where the fish was, so that its trace looked as if it was made on a rock. `Amr forming
a hole with his two thumbs an index fingers, said to me, "Like this, as in its trace was made on a
rock."
Moses said "We have suffered much fatigue on this journey of ours." (This was not narrated by Sa`id).
Then they returned back and found Al-Khadir. `Uthman bin Abi Sulaiman said to me, (they found
him) on a green carpet in the middle of the sea. Al-Khadir was covered with his garment with one end
under his feet and the other end under his head. When Moses greeted, he uncovered his face and said
astonishingly, 'Is there such a greeting in my land? Who are you?' Moses said, 'I am Moses.' Al-
Khadir said, 'Are you the Moses of Bani Israel?' Moses said, 'Yes.' Al-Khadir said, "What do you
want?' Moses said, ' I came to you so that you may teach me of the truth which you were taught.' Al-
Khadir said, 'Is it not sufficient for you that the Torah is in your hands and the Divine Inspiration
comes to you, O Moses? Verily, I have a knowledge that you ought not learn, and you have a
knowledge which I ought not learn.' At that time a bird took with its beak (some water) from the sea:
Al-Khadir then said, 'By Allah, my knowledge and your knowledge besides Allah's Knowledge is like
what this bird has taken with its beak from the sea.' Until, when they went on board the boat (18.71).
They found a small boat which used to carry the people from this sea-side to the other sea-side. The
crew recognized Al-Khadir and said, 'The pious slave of Allah.' (We said to Sa`id "Was that Khadir?"
He said, "Yes.") The boat men said, 'We will not get him on board with fare.' Al-Khadir scuttled the
boat and then plugged the hole with a piece of wood.
Moses said, 'Have you scuttled it in order to drown these people surely, you have done a dreadful thing.
(18.71) (Mujahid said. "Moses said so protestingly.") Al-Khadir said, didn't I say that you can have no
patience with me?' (18.72) The first inquiry of Moses was done because of forgetfulness, the second
caused him to be bound with a stipulation, and the third was done intentionally. Moses said, 'Call
me not to account for what I forgot and be not hard upon me for my affair (with you).' (18.73)
(Then) they found a boy and Al-Khadir killed him. Ya`la- said: Sa`id said 'They found boys playing
and Al-Khadir got hold of a handsome infidel boy laid him down and then slew him with knife. Moses
said, 'Have you killed a innocent soul who has killed nobody' (18.74) Then they proceeded and found
a wall which was on the point of falling down, and Al-Khadir set it up straight. Sa`id moved his hand
thus and said 'Al-Khadir raised his hand and the wall became straight. Ya`la said, 'I think Sa`id said,
'Al-Khadir touched the wall with his hand and it became straight (Moses said to Al-Khadir), 'If you
had wished, you could have taken wages for it.' Sa`id said, 'Wages that we might had eaten.' And there
was a king in furor (ahead) of them" (18.79) And there was in front of them. Ibn `Abbas recited: 'In
front of them (was) a king.'
It is said on the authority of somebody other than Sa`id that the king was Hudad bin Budad. They say
that the boy was called Haisur. 'A king who seized every ship by force. (18.79) So I wished that if that
boat passed by him, he would leave it because of its defect and when they have passed they would
repair it and get benefit from it. Some people said that they closed that hole with a bottle, and some
said with tar. 'His parents were believers, and he (the boy) was a non-believer and we (Khadir) feared
lest he would oppress them by obstinate rebellion and disbelief.' (18.80) (i.e. that their love for him
would urge them to follow him in his religion, 'so we (Khadir) desired that their Lord should change
him for them for one better in righteousness and near to mercy' (18:81). This was in reply to Moses'
saying: Have you killed an innocent soul.'? (18.74). 'Near to mercy" means they will be more merciful
to him than they were to the former whom Khadir had killed. Other than Sa`id, said that they were
compensated with a girl. Dawud bin Abi `Asim said on the authority of more than one that this next
child was a girl.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 248
The Prophet (ﷺ) said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is: 'Allahumma anta
Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Khalaqtani wa ana `Abduka, wa ana `ala `ahdika wa wa`dika mastata`tu,
A`udhu bika min Sharri ma sana`tu, abu'u Laka bini`matika `alaiya, wa abu'u laka bidhanbi faghfir lee
fa innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta." The Prophet (ﷺ) added. "If somebody recites it during the day
with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of
Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will
be from the people of Paradise."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 80, Hadith 3
