that he differed with Hur bin Qais bin Hisn Al-Fazari regarding the companion of the Prophet (ﷺ) Moses.
Meanwhile, Ubai bin Ka`b passed by them and Ibn `Abbas called him saying, "My friend (Hur) and I
have differed regarding Moses' companion whom Moses asked the way to meet. Have you heard
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) mentioning something about him? Ubai bin Ka`b said: "Yes, I heard the Prophet (ﷺ)
mentioning something about him (saying) while Moses was sitting in the company of some Israelites,
a man came and asked him: "Do you know anyone who is more learned than you? Moses replied:
"No." So Allah sent the Divine Inspiration to Moses: '--Yes, Our slave Khadir is more learned than
you. Moses asked Allah how to meet him (Al-Khadir). So Allah made the fish a sign for him and he
was told when the fish was lost, he should return (to the place where he had lost it) and there he would
meet him (Al-Khadir). So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea. The servant-boy
of Moses said: 'Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish, none
but Satan made me forget to remember it. On that Moses said, 'That is what we have been seeking.' So
they went back retracing their footsteps, and found Khadir. (and) what happened further about them is
narrated in the Holy Quran by Allah." (18.54 up to 18.82)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 3, Hadith 20
I was an interpreter between Ibn Abbas and the people, that a woman happened to come there and asked about nabidh or the pitcher of wine. He replied: A delegation of the people of 'Abdul-Qais came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He (the Holy Prophet) asked the delegation or the people (of the delegation about their identity). They replied that they belonged to the tribe of Rabi'a. He (the Holy Prophet) welcomed the people or the delegation which were neither humiliated nor put to shame. They (the members of the delegation) said: Messenger of Allah, we come to you from a far-off distance and there lives between you and us a tribe of the unbelievers of Mudar and, therefore, it is not possible for us to come to you except in the sacred months. Thus direct us to a clear command, about which we should inform people beside us and by which we may enter heaven. He (the Holy Prophet) replied: I command you to do four deeds and forbid you to do four (acts), and added: I direct you to affirm belief in Allah alone, and then asked them: Do you know what belief in Allah really implies? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet said: It implies testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, establishment of prayer, payment of Zakat, fast of Ramadan, that you pay one-fifth of the booty (fallen to your lot) and I forbid you to use gourd, wine jar, or a receptacle for wine. Shu'ba sometimes narrated the word naqir (wooden pot) and sometimes narrated it as muqayyar. The Prophet also said: Keep it in your mind and inform those who have been left behind.
Sahih Muslim Book 1, Hadith 24
(one of them said more than his friend): The Prophet (ﷺ) set out in the company of more than onethousand
of his companions in the year of Al-Hudaibiya, and when he reached Dhul-Hulaifa, he
garlanded his Hadi (i.e. sacrificing animal), assumed the state of Ihram for `Umra from that place and
sent a spy of his from Khuzi'a (tribe). The Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded on till he reached (a village called)
Ghadir-al-Ashtat. There his spy came and said, "The Quraish (infidels) have collected a great number
of people against you, and they have collected against you the Ethiopians, and they will fight with
you, and will stop you from entering the Ka`ba and prevent you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O people! Give
me your opinion. Do you recommend that I should destroy the families and offspring of those who
want to stop us from the Ka`ba? If they should come to us (for peace) then Allah will destroy a spy
from the pagans, or otherwise we will leave them in a miserable state." On that Abu Bakr said, "O
Allah Apostle! You have come with the intention of visiting this House (i.e. Ka`ba) and you do not
want to kill or fight anybody. So proceed to it, and whoever should stop us from it, we will fight him."
On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Proceed on, in the Name of Allah !"
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 220
That once he stayed overnight (in the house) of his aunt Maimuna. the wife of the Prophet. He added:
I lay on the cushion transversely and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) lay along with his wife in the lengthwise
direction of the pillow. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) slept till the middle of the night, either a bit before or a bit
after it, and then woke up rubbing the traces of sleep off his face with his hands and then he recited the
last ten Verses of Surat-al-`Imran, got up and went to a hanging water skin. He then performed the
ablution from it, and it was perfect ablution, and then stood up to offer the prayer. I too did the same
as he had done, and then went to stand beside him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) put his right hand on my head and
held and twisted my right ear. He then offered two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two
rak`at, then two rak`at. then two rak`at, and finally one rak`a, the witr. Then he lay down again till the
Muadhdhin (i.e. the call-maker) came to him, whereupon he got up and offered a light two-rak`at
prayer, and went out (to the Mosque) and offered the (compulsory congregational) Fajr prayer.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 93
`Urwa bin Az-Zubair said that he asked `Aisha about the meaning of the Quranic Verse:--
"And if you fear that you will not deal fairly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your
choice." (4.2-3)
Aisha said, "It is about a female orphan under the guardianship of her guardian who is inclined
towards her because of her beauty and wealth, and likes to marry her with a Mahr less than what is
given to women of her standard. So they (i.e. guardians) were forbidden to marry the orphans unless
they paid them a full appropriate Mahr (otherwise) they were ordered to marry other women instead of
them. Later on the people asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it. So Allah revealed the following Verse:--
"They ask your instruction (O Muhammad!) regarding women. Say: Allah instructs you regarding
them..." (4.127)
and in this Verse Allah indicated that if the orphan girl was beautiful and wealthy, her guardian would
have the desire to marry her without giving her an appropriate Mahr equal to what her peers could get,
but if she was undesirable for lack of beauty or wealth, then he would not marry her, but seek to marry
some other woman instead of her. So, since he did not marry her when he had no inclination towards
her, he had not the right to marry her when he had an interest in her, unless he treated her justly by
giving her a full Mahr and securing all her rights.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 55, Hadith 26
When Al-Hasan bin `Ali moved with army units against Muawiya, `Amr bin AL-As said to Muawiya,
"I see an army that will not retreat unless and until the opposing army retreats." Muawiya said, "(If the
Muslims are killed) who will look after their children?" `Amr bin Al-As said: I (will look after them).
On that, `Abdullah bin 'Amir and `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura said, "Let us meet Muawaiya and
suggest peace." Al-Hasan Al-Basri added: No doubt, I heard that Abu Bakra said, "Once while the
Prophet was addressing (the people), Al-Hasan (bin `Ali) came and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'This son of mine
is a chief, and Allah may make peace between two groups of Muslims through him."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 92, Hadith 56
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Nations were displayed before me; one or two prophets would pass by along
with a few followers. A prophet would pass by accompanied by nobody. Then a big crowd of people
passed in front of me and I asked, Who are they Are they my followers?" It was said, 'No. It is Moses
and his followers It was said to me, 'Look at the horizon.'' Behold! There was a multitude of people
filling the horizon. Then it was said to me, 'Look there and there about the stretching sky! Behold!
There was a multitude filling the horizon,' It was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom seventy
thousand shall enter Paradise without reckoning.' "Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered his house without telling
his companions who they (the 70,000) were. So the people started talking about the issue and said, "It
is we who have believed in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those people are either
ourselves or our children who are born m the Islamic era, for we were born in the Pre-lslamic Period
of Ignorance.'' When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard of that, he came out and said. "Those people are those who do
not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or good omen (from birds etc.) nor do
they get themselves branded (Cauterized). but they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On that
'Ukasha bin Muhsin said. "Am I one of them, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes." Then
another person got up and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Ukasha has anticipated you."
