“When they wanted to dig a
grave
for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), they sent for Abu ‘Ubaidah bin
Jarrah, who used to dig graves in the manner of the people of Makkah,
and they sent for Abu Talhah, who used to dig graves for the people
of
Al-Madinah, and he used to make a niche in the grave. They sent
two
messengers to both of them, and they said: ‘O Allah, choose
what is
best for Your Messenger.’ They found Abu Talhah and brought
him, but
they did not find Abu ‘Ubaidah. So he dug a grave with a
niche for the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). When they had finished
preparing him, on
Tuesday, he was placed on his bed in his house.
Then the people
entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in groups
and offered the
funeral prayer for him, and when they finished the
women entered, and
when they finished the children entered, and no
one led the people in
offering the funeral prayer for the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ). The
Muslims differed concerning the place where he
should be buried. Some
said that he should be buried in his mosque.
Others said that he
should be buried with his Companions. Then Abu
Bakr said: ‘I heard the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “No Prophet
ever passed away but he was
buried where he died.” So they lifted
up the bed of the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) on which he had died, and
dug the grave for him, then he
(ﷺ) was buried in the middle of
Tuesday night. ‘Ali bin Abu Talib,
Fadl bin ‘Abbas and his
brother Qutham, and Shuqran the freed slave of
the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) went down in his grave. Aws bin Khawli,
who was Abu Laila, said
to ‘Ali bin Abi Talib: ‘I adjure you by Allah!
Give us our share
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).’ So ‘Ali said to
him: ‘Come
down.’ Shuqran, his freed slave, had taken a Qatifah which
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to wear. He buried it in his grave
and
said, ‘By Allah, no one will ever wear it after you.’ So it was
buried with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 6, Hadith 196
“My father told me: ‘I
said to ‘Aishah: “I do not think there is any sin on me if I do
not
perform Tawaf* between Safa and Marwah.” She said: “Allah
says:
‘Verily, Safa and Marwah are of the Symbols of Allah. So it
is not a
sin on him who performs Hajj or ‘Umrah of the House to
perform Tawaf
between them.’” If the matter were as you
say, then it would
have said, ‘it is not a sin on him to not
perform the Sa’y between
them.’ Rather this was revealed
concerning some people among the Ansar
who previously, when they
stated the Talbiyah, they used to recite it
for Manat, and it was not
lawful for them to perform Sa’y between Safa
and Marwah. When they
arrived with the Prophet (ﷺ) for Hajj, they
mentioned that to him,
and Allah revealed this Verse. By Allah, Allah
will not accept the
Hajj as complete if one who does not perform Sa’y
between Safa and
Marwah.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 25, Hadith 105
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu
Bakr, from Abu Salih as-Samman from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When the imam
says, 'Allah hears whoever praises Him,' say 'O Allah! Our Lord,
praise be toYou, 'for the previous wrong actions done by the one whose
utterance coincides with that of the angels are forgiven."
Muwatta Malik Book 3, Hadith 50
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "O Allah, have mercy on those who shave their hair." They said,
"And those who shorten (their hair), Messenger of Allah." He said,
"O Allah, have mercy on those who shave." They said, "And those who
shorten, Messenger of Allah." He said, "And those who shorten."
