   زَوَّجَنِي أَبِي امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ جَعَلْتُ لَا أَنْحَاشُ لَهَا مِمَّا بِي مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ عَلَى الْعِبَادَةِ مِنَ الصَّوْمِ وَالصَّلَاةِ. فَجَاءَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ إِلَى كَنَّتِهِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: كَيْفَ وَجَدْتِ بَعْلَكِ ؟ قَالَتْ: خَيْرَ الرِّجَالِ، أَوْ كَخَيْرِ الْبُعُولَةِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يُفَتِّشْ لَنَا كَنَفًا، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ لَنَا فِرَاشًا. فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ فَعَذَمَنِي وَعَضَّنِي بِلِسَانِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَنْكَحْتُكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ذَاتَ حَسَبٍ فَعَضَلْتَهَا، وَفَعَلْتَ وَفَعَلْتَ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَكَانِي، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي: أَتَصُومُ النَّهَارَ ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: وَتَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: لَكِنِّي أَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ، وَأُصَلِّي وَأَنَامُ، وَأَمَسُّ النِّسَاءَ فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي. قَالَ: اقْرَإِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ. قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ. قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: إِمَّا حُصَيْنٌ، وَإِمَّا مُغِيرَةُ قَالَ: فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثٍ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: صُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ. قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَرْفَعُنِي حَتَّى قَالَ: صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا فَإِنَّهُ أَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ، وَهُوَ صِيَامُ أَخِي دَاوُدَ ﷺ. قَالَ حُصَيْنٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ عَابِدٍ شِرَّةً، وَلِكُلِّ شِرَّةٍ فَتْرَةً فَإِمَّا إِلَى سُنَّةٍ، وَإِمَّا إِلَى بِدْعَةٍ فَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى سُنَّةٍ فَقَدِ اهْتَدَى، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكَ. قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَيْثُ ضَعُفَ وَكَبِرَ يَصُومُ الْأَيَّامَ كَذَلِكَ يَصِلُ بَعْضَهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ لِيَتَقَوَّى بِذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يُفْطِرُ بِعَدِّ تِلْكَ الْأَيَّامِ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ حِزْبِهِ كَذَلِكَ، يَزِيدُ أَحْيَانًا وَيَنْقُصُ أَحْيَانًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يُوفِي الْعَدَدَ إِمَّا فِي سَبْعٍ، وَإِمَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ كَانَ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ: لَأَنْ أَكُونَ قَبِلْتُ رُخْصَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا عُدِلَ بِهِ، أَوْ عَدَلَ، لَكِنِّي فَارَقْتُهُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ

   ✧ My father married me to a woman from the Quraysh tribe. When she entered upon me, I made sure not to deny her any of my resources, such as strength or the ability to perform acts of worship, such as fasting and praying. Then 'Amr ibn al-'As came to her, and when he entered upon her he asked her, "How do you find your husband?" She replied, "He is the best of men, and the best of husbands, for he does not question us about our linen and does not inspect our bedding." He then approached me and scolded and bit me with his tongue, saying, "You married a woman from the Quraysh tribe with good lineage and you mistreated her and did what you did." Then he went to the Prophet ﷺ and complained about me, so the Prophet ﷺ sent for me and I came to him. He asked me, "Do you fast during the day?" I replied, "Yes." He asked, "Do you stand for prayer at night?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "But I fast and break my fast, I pray and sleep, and I also have relations with women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah (tradition), is not one of the Muslims." He told me to recite the Qur'an every month, but I told him that I find myself to be stronger than that. He then told me to recite it every ten days, but I told him that I find myself to be stronger than that. He then said, "Either every fifteen days, or every twenty." I told him that I find myself to be stronger than that. He said, "Fast three days every month." I told him I find myself to be stronger than that. He continued to increase the number until he said, "Fast one day and break your fast one day, for it is the best fasting and it is the fasting of my brother Dawud (David) ﷺ." He said, "Fast two days and break your fast one day." I said, "I find myself to be stronger than that." He said, "For every worshipper, there is a period, and for every period, there is a limit. Either it leads to following the Sunnah, or it leads to innovation. Whoever's period leads to following the Sunnah, has guided himself, and whoever's period leads to something else, has gone astray." Mujahid said that Abdullah ibn 'Amr used to weaken and get older, and he used to fast days like that, and even extend one day to connect it with another to strengthen himself, then he would break his fast after that. He would also recite a portion of the Quran in each part like that, sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing the amount, but he always completed the number, either in seven days or three. He said, "After all that, I used to say that accepting the concession of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is dearer to me than anything else, even if others may dislike it."

2. Musnad Ahmad 6478Sahih

   مَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ. وَنَهَى عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَالْكُوبَةِ وَالْغُبَيْرَاءِ، وَقَالَ: وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ

   مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ إِلَّا كُفِّرَتْ عَنْهُ ذُنُوبُهُ، وَلَوْ كَانَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ

   ✧ There is no man on earth who says: 'There is no god but Allah, and Allah is Greatest, and Glory be to Allah, and Praise be to Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah,' except that his sins are forgiven, even if they were more than the foam of the sea.

   أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي امْرَأَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا: أُمُّ مَهْزُولٍ، وَكَانَتْ تُسَافِحُ وَتَشْتَرِطُ لَهُ أَنْ تُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ: فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، أَوْ ذَكَرَ لَهُ أَمْرَهَا، قَالَ: فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ: وَالزَّانِيَةُ لا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ

   ✧ No one among people is afflicted with a trial in his body except that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, commands the angels who guard him, saying: "Write for My servant, every day and night, the good deeds he used to do while he was in My bonds."

7. Musnad Ahmad 6483Hasan

   كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَامَ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِرَاكِعٍ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَسْجُدُ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَسْجُدُ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَلَمْ يَكَدْ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ كَمَا فَعَلَ فِي الْأُولَى، وَجَعَلَ يَنْفُخُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَيَبْكِي وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: رَبِّ، لِمَ تُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ ؟ رَبِّ، لِمَ تُعَذِّبُنَا وَنَحْنُ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ ؟ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَدْ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَقَضَى صَلَاتَهُ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَإِذَا كَسَفَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوْ أَشَاءُ لَتَعَاطَيْتُ بَعْضَ أَغْصَانِهَا، وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأُطْفِئُهَا خَشْيَةَ أَنْ تَغْشَاكُمْ. وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا امْرَأَةً مِنْ حِمْيَرَ سَوْدَاءَ طُوَالَةً تُعَذَّبُ بِهِرَّةٍ لَهَا، تَرْبِطُهَا فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَسْقِهَا وَلَا تَدَعُهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ كُلَّمَا أَقْبَلَتْ نَهَشَتْهَا، وَكُلَّمَا أَدْبَرَتْ نَهَشَتْهَا. وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا أَخَا بَنِي دَعْدَعٍ، وَرَأَيْتُ صَاحِبَ الْمِحْجَنِ مُتَّكِئًا فِي النَّارِ عَلَى مِحْجَنِهِ كَانَ يَسْرِقُ الْحَاجَّ بِمِحْجَنِهِ، فَإِذَا عَلِمُوا بِهِ قَالَ: لَسْتُ أَنَا أَسْرِقُكُمْ إِنَّمَا تَعَلَّقَ بِمِحْجَنِي

   ✧ The sun became eclipsed during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and he stood up for prayer, and we stood up with him. He prolonged the standing until we thought that he was not going to bow down (in rukū'). Then he bowed down (in rukū'), and hardly raised his head. Then he prostrated and hardly raised his head. Then he sat down and hardly prostrated. Then he prostrated again and hardly raised his head. Then he performed in the second unit of prayer, just like he did in the first unit. He blew into the ground and wept while he was prostrating in the second unit of prayer, and he said, "My Lord, why do you punish them and I am among them? My Lord, why do you punish us while we seek your forgiveness?" Then he raised his head while the sun appeared and he completed his prayer. Then he praised and glorified Allah and said, "O people, surely the sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. So when one of them becomes eclipsed, seek refuge in the mosques. By the One in whose hand is my soul, Paradise was shown to me until if I had wanted, I could have plucked some of its branches, and Hellfire was shown to me until I became afraid that it might envelope you. And I saw in it a woman who was being punished for a cat that she had tied and did not feed or give to drink, nor did she allow it to eat from the vermin of the earth. Whenever it approached, she would torment it, and whenever it turned away, she would torment it. And I saw in it a man from the Banū Dādāʿ who was being tormented and I saw the owner of the mill reclining over fire onto his millstone, and he used to steal from the hājjāj with his millstone, and when they became aware, he would say, 'I am not the one who stole from you, rather it is my millstone that has been stealing.'"

   ✧ I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing on his mount at Mina. A man came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I thought that shaving was before slaughtering, so I shaved before I slaughtered." He said: "Slaughter, and there is no harm." Then another came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I thought that slaughtering was before throwing the pebbles, so I slaughtered before I threw." He said: "Throw, and there is no harm." He said: He was not asked about anything a man had done before another thing except that he said: "Do it, and there is no harm."

9. Musnad Ahmad 6485Sahih

   ✧ Indeed, the just ones in this world will be upon pulpits of pearls on the Day of Resurrection before the Most Merciful, because of their justice in this world.

10. Musnad Ahmad 6486Sahih

    بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي وَلَوْ آيَةً، وَحَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ

    ✧ Convey from me even a single verse, and narrate from the Children of Israel, and there is no harm. And whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire.

11. Musnad Ahmad 6487Sahih

    الظُّلْمُ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْفُحْشَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَلَا التَّفَحُّشَ. وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ فَإِنَّ الشُّحَّ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْبُخْلِ فَبَخِلُوا، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْفُجُورِ فَفَجَرُوا. قَالَ: فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: أَنْ يَسْلَمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِكَ وَيَدِكَ، فَقَامَ ذَاكَ، أَوْ آخَرُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: أَنْ تَهْجُرَ مَا كَرِهَ رَبُّكَ. وَالْهِجْرَةُ هِجْرَتَانِ: هِجْرَةُ الْحَاضِرِ، وَالْبَادِي، فَهِجْرَةُ الْبَادِي أَنْ يُجِيبَ إِذَا دُعِيَ وَيُطِيعَ إِذَا أُمِرَ، وَالْحَاضِرِ أَعْظَمُهُمَا بَلِيَّةً وَأَفْضَلُهُمَا أَجْرًا

    ✧ Wrongdoing will be darknesses on the Day of Resurrection. Beware of obscenity, for Allah does not love obscenity or indecency. Beware of miserliness, for miserliness destroyed those before you: it commanded them to sever ties so they severed, commanded them to be stingy so they were stingy, and commanded them to commit wickedness so they did. He said: Then a man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which Islam is best?" He said: "That the Muslims are safe from your tongue and your hand." Then that one, or another, stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which emigration is best?" He said: "That you abandon what your Lord dislikes. Emigration is of two kinds: the emigration of the settled and the Bedouin. The emigration of the Bedouin is to respond when called and obey when commanded. The settled one has the greater trial and the greater reward."

12. Musnad Ahmad 6488Sahih

    أَرْبَعُونَ حَسَنَةً أَعْلَاهَا مِنْحَةُ الْعَنْزِ لَا يَعْمَلُ عَبْدٌ، أَوْ قَالَ: رَجُلٌ بِخَصْلَةٍ مِنْهَا رَجَاءَ ثَوَابِهَا، وَتَصْدِيقَ مَوْعُودِهَا إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ بِهَا الْجَنَّةَ

    ✧ Forty good deeds, the highest of which is giving a she-goat as a gift. No servant - or he said: man - performs any one of them hoping for its reward and affirming its promise except that Allah admits him to Paradise because of it.

13. Musnad Ahmad 6489Sahih

    قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، حَلَقْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ قَالَ: ارْمِ وَلَا حَرَجَ. وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْبَحَ، فَقَالَ: اذْبَحْ وَلَا حَرَجَ. قَالَ: ذَبَحْتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَرْمِيَ قَالَ: ارْمِ وَلَا حَرَجَ

    ✧ A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, I shaved before I threw the pebbles." He said: "Throw, and there is no harm." And once he said: "...before I slaughtered," so he said: "Slaughter, and there is no harm." He said: "I slaughtered before I threw the pebbles." He said: "Throw, and there is no harm."

    أَحَبُّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللهِ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ، وَأَحَبُّ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَى اللهِ صَلَاةُ دَاوُدَ. كَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَهُ وَيَقُومُ ثُلُثَهُ وَيَنَامُ سُدُسَهُ، وَكَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا

    ✧ The most beloved fasting to God is the fasting of David, and the most beloved prayer to God is the prayer of David. He used to sleep half the night, stand in prayer a third of it, and sleep a sixth of it. And he used to fast every other day.

    الْمُقْسِطُونَ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ عَنْ يَمِينِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكِلْتَا يَدَيْهِ يَمِينٌ الَّذِينَ يَعْدِلُونَ فِي حُكْمِهِمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَا وَلُوا

17. Musnad Ahmad 6493Sahih

    وَكَانَ عَلَى رَحْلِ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: عَلَى ثَقَلِ، النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ: كِرْكِرَةُ فَمَاتَ، فَقَالَ: هُوَ فِي النَّارِ، فَنَظَرُوا فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِ عَبَاءَةٌ قَدْ غَلَّهَا. وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: أَوْ كِسَاءٌ قَدْ غَلَّهُ

    ✧ There was a man named Kirkara in charge of the luggage—or he once said: the heavy baggage—of the Prophet ﷺ, and he died. The Prophet ﷺ said: He is in the Fire. So they looked and found that he had stolen a cloak—or he once said: a wrap.

18. Musnad Ahmad 6494Sahih

    الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ، ارْحَمُوا أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ. وَالرَّحِمُ شِجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ، وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا بَتَتُّهُ

    ✧ The Prophet ﷺ said, "Those who show mercy will be shown mercy by the Merciful. Show mercy to the people of the earth and the people of the heavens will show mercy to you.

    ✧ Two qualities—whoever guards them will enter Paradise, and they are easy, yet few people practice them. They said: What are they, O Messenger of God? He said: To praise God, declare His greatness, and glorify Him after every prescribed prayer ten times each. And when you retire to your bed, glorify God, declare His greatness, and praise Him one hundred times. That is two hundred and fifty on the tongue and two thousand five hundred in the Balance. Which of you commits two thousand five hundred sins in a day and night? They said: How is it that few people practice them? He said: Satan comes to one of you during his prayer and reminds him of such-and-such a need, so he does not say them; and he comes to him at his sleep and makes him sleep, so he does not say them. He said: And I saw the Messenger of God ﷺ counting them on his hand.

    ✧ I was walking with Mu'awiya as he was returning from Siffin, between him and 'Amr b. al-'As. 'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As said: Father, did you hear the Messenger of God ﷺ say to 'Ammar: Woe to you, O son of Sumayya—the transgressing party will kill you?

    ✧ I came to Abdullah b. Amr b. al-As while he was sitting in the shade of the Kaaba, and I heard him say: While we were with the Messenger of God ﷺ on a journey, he stopped at a place. Some of us were setting up their tents, some were with their animals, and some were competing in archery when his caller announced: 'The prayer is to be held in congregation.' He said: So we gathered. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ stood up and addressed us, saying: 'There was no prophet before me except that he guided his community to what he knew was good for them and warned them against what he knew was evil for them. Indeed, the well-being of this community of yours has been placed in its early period, and its latter part will be afflicted with severe trials and matters you will disapprove of. Trials will come, each making the previous one seem insignificant. A trial will come, and the believer will say: This is my destruction. Then it will clear. Then another trial will come, and the believer will say: This is it. Then it will clear. So whoever among you wishes to be moved away from the Fire and to enter Paradise, let death overtake him while he believes in God and the Last Day, and let him bring to people what he loves to be brought to him. And whoever pledges allegiance to a leader, giving him his handshake and the fruit of his heart, let him obey him as much as he can. If another comes to dispute with him, strike the neck of the other.' He said: I inserted my head among the people and said: 'I adjure you by God, did you hear this from the Messenger of God ﷺ?' He said: He pointed with his hand to his ears and said: 'My ears heard it and my heart retained it.' He said: I said: 'This is your cousin Mu'awiya—meaning he commands us to consume our wealth among ourselves in falsehood and to kill each other, while God Almighty has said: "O you who believe, do not consume your wealth among yourselves in falsehood."' He said: He clasped his hands and placed them on his forehead, then bowed his head for a moment, then raised his head and said: 'Obey him in obedience to God, and disobey him in disobedience to God, Mighty and Majestic.'

    ✧ How will you be when you remain among the dregs of people? He said: I said: 'How is that, O Messenger of God?' He said: When their covenants and trusts become corrupted, and they become like this—and Yunus interlaced his fingers to describe that. He said: I said: 'What should I do then, O Messenger of God?' He said: 'Fear God, Mighty and Majestic, take what you recognize, and leave what you disapprove of. Attend to your own affairs and avoid their common masses.'

They said: 'You write down everything you hear from the Messenger of God ﷺ, and the Messenger of God ﷺ is a human being who speaks in anger and in pleasure.' So I stopped writing. Then I mentioned that to the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he said: 'Write, for by the One in whose hand is my soul, nothing comes out of me except the truth.'

    إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَتْرُكْ عَالِمًا اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُؤُوسًا جُهَّالًا، فَسُئِلُوا فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا

    Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, so that when He leaves no learned person, people turn to the ignorant as their leaders; then they are asked to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge, they go astray, and lead others astray.

    ✧ Ubaidullah ibn Ziyad used to ask about the Haudh (pool) of Muhammad ﷺ and would deny its existence after Aba Barzah, Al-Bara ibn Azib, A'ith ibn Amr, and another man confirmed it. Abu Sabrah said, "I will tell you a story in which the cure for this denial lies. Your father sent me with money to Muawiya and I met Abdullah ibn Amr who narrated to me something he heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I dictated it to him and wrote it down with my own hand, without adding or subtracting a letter. He told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Verily, Allah does not like obscenity and indecency nor does He like those who practice them. The Hour will not be established until obscenity, indecency, severing of family ties, and bad neighborly relations appear, and until the traitor and the untrustworthy are trusted.' He also said, 'Behold, your appointment is at my Haudh (pool). Its width and length are equal, like the distance between Ayla and Makkah, which is the length of a month's journey. Its drinkware is whiter than silver, and whoever drinks from it will never be thirsty again.' Upon hearing this, Ubaidullah said, 'I have not heard anything about the Haudh that is more certain than this.' He then took the script and kept it with him."

    سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو: إِنَّكَ تَقُولُ: إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ تَقُومُ إِلَى كَذَا وَكَذَا. قَالَ: لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أُحَدِّثَكُمْ شَيْئًا، إِنَّمَا قُلْتُ: إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ أَمْرًا عَظِيمًا كَانَ تَحْرِيقَ الْبَيْتِ. قَالَ شُعْبَةُ هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَخْرُجُ الدَّجَّالُ فِي أُمَّتِي فَيَلْبَثُ فِيهِمْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَا أَدْرِي أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ شَهْرًا، فَيَبْعَثُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عِيسَى بْنَ مَرْيَمَ ﷺ كَأَنَّهُ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ فَيَظْهَرُ فَيَطْلُبُهُ فَيُهْلِكُهُ، ثُمَّ يَلْبَسُ النَّاسُ بَعْدَهُ سِنِينَ سَبْعًا لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ عَدَاوَةٌ، ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللهُ رِيحًا بَارِدَةً مِنْ قِبَلِ الشَّامِ فَلَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ إِلَّا قَبَضَتْهُ، حَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ كَانَ فِي كَبِدِ جَبَلٍ لَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: وَيَبْقَى شِرَارُ النَّاسِ فِي خِفَّةِ الطَّيْرِ وَأَحْلَامِ السِّبَاعِ، لَا يَعْرِفُونَ مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا يُنْكِرُونَ مُنْكَرًا. قَالَ: فَيَتَمَثَّلُ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَيَقُولُ: أَلَا تَسْتَجِيبُونَ ؟ فَيَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْأَوْثَانِ فَيَعْبُدُونَهَا. وَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ دَارَّةٌ أَرْزَاقُهُمْ حَسَنٌ عَيْشُهُمْ، ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَلَا يَسْمَعُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَصْغَى لَهُ. وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَسْمَعُهُ رَجُلٌ يَلُوطُ حَوْضَهُ فَيَصْعَقُ، ثُمَّ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ إِلَّا صَعِقَ. ثُمَّ يُرْسِلُ اللهُ، أَوْ يُنْزِلُ اللهُ مَطَرًا كَأَنَّهُ الطَّلُّ، أَوِ الظِّلُّ. نُعْمَانُ الشَّاكُّ فَتَنْبُتُ مِنْهُ أَجْسَادُ النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ يُقَالُ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، هَلُمُّوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْئُولُونَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ يُقَالُ: أَخْرِجُوا بَعْثَ النَّارِ قَالَ: فَيُقَالُ: كَمْ ؟ فَيُقَالُ: مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعَمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ، فَيَوْمَئِذٍ يُبْعَثُ الْوِلْدَانُ شِيبًا، وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ

    ✧ I heard a man say to ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr: You say that the Hour will come by such and such. He said: I had resolved not to narrate anything to you. I only said: You will soon see a great matter, which was the burning of the House. Shuʿbah said: This or something like it. Then ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: The Dajjāl will emerge among my community and remain among them for forty—I do not know whether forty days, forty years, forty nights, or forty months. Then God, Mighty and Majestic, will send ʿĪsā b. Maryam ﷺ, as if he were ʿUrwah b. Masʿūd al-Thaqafī. He will appear, seek him out, and destroy him. Then the people will live after him for seven years, with no enmity between any two. Then God will send a cold wind from the direction of Syria, and no one with an atom's weight of faith in his heart will remain but it will take him, even if one of them were in the heart of a mountain, it would enter upon him. He said: I heard it from the Messenger of God ﷺ: The worst of people will remain, in the lightness of birds and the minds of beasts; they will not enjoin good or forbid evil. He said: Then Satan will appear to them and say: Will you not respond? He will command them to worship idols, and they will worship them. In that state, their provisions will be abundant and their livelihood good. Then the trumpet will be blown, and no one will hear it but will incline toward it. The first to hear it will be a man plastering his water tank, and he will fall down stunned. Then no one will remain but will be stunned. Then God will send, or God will send down, rain like drizzle or shade—Nuʿmān was unsure—and from it the bodies of people will grow. Then it will be blown again, and behold, they will be standing, looking on. He said: Then it will be said: O people, come to your Lord, "and stop them, for they will be questioned." He said: Then it will be said: Bring out the delegation of the Fire. He said: It will be said: How many? It will be said: From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine. On that day, children will turn gray-haired, and on that day, the shin will be uncovered.

And if the seven heavens and the seven earths were a solid ring, ‘There is no god but Allah’ would break them. And ‘Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him,’ for it is the prayer of everything, and by it creation is sustained. And I forbid you from shirk and pride.

When the young man heard the mention of wine, he withdrew his hand from Abdulah's hand and left. Abdullah ibn Amr then said, "I do not allow anyone to attribute to me something I did not say. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say, 'Whoever drinks a sip of wine, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days, but if he repents, God will accept his repentance. If he returns to it, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days, but if he repents, God will forgive him again. If he returns for the third or fourth time, I do not know for sure, it will be a right upon God to make him drink from the pond of 'Khabal' on the Day of Resurrection.' I also heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say, 'God created His creation in darkness, then cast His light upon them on that day. Whoever was touched by His light was guided, and whoever it missed was misguided. That is why I say the pen has dried according to the knowledge of God.' I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say, 'Solomon the son of David, ﷺ, asked God for three things, and He granted him two, and we hope that the third one was granted for him as well. He asked for a judgment that coincides with God’s judgment, and God granted it to him. He asked for a kingdom that no one after him would deserve, and God granted it to him. And he asked that whoever leaves his house intending only to pray in this mosque would have his sins erased as if he was reborn, and we hope that God has granted him that as well.'"

He said—and I saw him with his back leaning against the Kaabah—he said, "The most hostile of people toward Allah ﷻ is one who kills in the Haram, or kills someone other than the one who killed him, or kills over the vendettas of Jahiliyyah." A man stood before him and said, "So-and-so is my son." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no claim of lineage in Islam. The affair of Jahiliyyah has gone. The child belongs to the bed, and for the fornicator is al-athlab." They said, "What is al-athlab?" He said, "The stone."

The Muslims are one hand against those besides them; their blood is equal. The lowest of them may grant protection on their behalf, and the farthest of them may return [spoils] on their behalf; their raiding parties return to their base. A believer is not to be killed for a disbeliever. The blood money for a disbeliever is half the blood money of a Muslim.

They mentioned a verse of the Qur'an and disputed about it until their voices rose. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out angry, his face reddened, throwing dust at them and saying: 'Gently, O people! By this were the nations before you destroyed: by their disputing with their prophets and striking the Scriptures against one another. The Qur'an was not sent down to have one part contradict another; rather, one part confirms another. Whatever you know of it, act upon it; and whatever you are ignorant of, refer it to its knower.'

     ✧ I was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Hunayn, and the delegation of Hawazin came to him. They said: 'O Muhammad, we are root and tribe, so show favor to us, may Allah show favor to you, for there has befallen us of affliction what is not hidden from you.' He said: 'Choose between your women, your wealth, and your children.' They said: 'You have given us a choice between our lineages and our wealth; we choose our children.' He said: 'As for what belongs to me and to the Banu Abd al-Muttalib, it is yours. When I have prayed Zuhr, say: We seek intercession through the Messenger of Allah with the believers, and through the believers with the Messenger of Allah, for our women and our children.' He said: So they did that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'As for what belongs to me and to the Banu Abd al-Muttalib, it is yours.' The Muhajirun said: 'What belongs to us is for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' The Ansar said the like. Uyayna b. Badr said: 'As for what belongs to me and to the Banu Fazara, no.' Al-Aqra' b. Habis said: 'As for me and the Banu Tamim, no.' Abbas b. Mirdas said: 'As for me and the Banu Sulaym, no.' The two tribes said: 'You lie; rather it is for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O people, return to them their women and their children. Whoever holds onto anything of the spoils, he shall have from us six camels from the first thing Allah grants us as spoils.' Then he mounted his riding beast, and the people clung to him saying: 'Divide among us our spoils between us,' until they forced him to a samura tree, and his cloak was snatched away. He said: 'O people, return to me my cloak. By Allah, if you had as many livestock as the trees of Tihama, I would divide it among you; then you would not find me miserly, nor cowardly, nor a liar.' Then he drew near his camel, took a hair from its hump, placed it between his fingers, the index and the middle, then raised it and said: 'O people, I have none of this spoils, not even this hair, except the fifth. And the fifth is returned to you. So return even the needle and the thread, for misappropriation of spoils will be upon its people on the Day of Resurrection as shame, fire, and disgrace.' A man stood up with a ball of hair and said: 'I took this to repair the saddle pad of a camel of mine that had a sore.' He said: 'As for what belongs to me and to the Banu Abd al-Muttalib, it is yours.' The man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, now that it has reached what I see, I have no need of it,' and he threw it away.

     أَنَّ نَوْفًا، وَعَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْعَاصِي اجْتَمَعَا، فَقَالَ نَوْفٌ: لَوْ أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا فِيهِمَا وُضِعَ فِي كِفَّةِ الْمِيزَانِ، وَوُضِعَتْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فِي الْكِفَّةِ الْأُخْرَى لَرَجَحَتْ بِهِنَّ، وَلَوْ أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا فِيهِنَّ كُنَّ طَبَقًا مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، لَخَرَقَتْهُنَّ، حَتَّى تَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَغْرِبَ، فَعَقَّبَ مَنْ عَقَّبَ، وَرَجَعَ مَنْ رَجَعَ، فَجَاءَ ﷺ، وَقَدْ كَادَ يَحْسِرُ ثِيَابَهُ عَنْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَقَالَ: أَبْشِرُوا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، هَذَا رَبُّكُمْ قَدْ فَتَحَ بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ السَّمَاءِ، يُبَاهِي بِكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ، يَقُولُ: هَؤُلَاءِ عِبَادِي قَضَوْا فَرِيضَةً، وَهُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَ أُخْرَى

     ✧ Verily, the heavens and the earth and all that is in them have been placed in one end of the scale and La ilaha illallah (there is no deity except Allah) has been placed in the other end, and it is this (the declaration of La ilaha illallah) that outweighs them (the heavens and the earth) in merit. Had the heavens and the earth and all that is in them been a plate of steel and a man were to say La ilaha illallah, it would break them (the heavens and the earth) until it (the declaration) reaches Allah, the Exalted and Glorious. Abdullah bin Amr reported: We prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Maghrib, and he delayed the prayer beyond its time. Then he came out to us while we were anxiously waiting for him and he said: "Be glad, O Muslims! This is your Lord who has opened a gate from the gates of Heaven tonight, and the angels of mercy have come down in order to talk to you.”

He came out of breath, raising his finger like this, and he held up twenty-nine [fingers] and pointed his index finger to the sky, saying: Rejoice, O assembly of Muslims! This is your Lord, Mighty and Majestic, who has opened a gate from the gates of heaven, boasting of you to the angels, saying: O My angels, look at My servants: they have performed an obligatory prayer and are waiting for another.'

     ✧ I was sitting with him in the shade of the Ka'bah while he was narrating to the people. He said: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey and we stopped at a place. Among us were those setting up their tents, those among the grazing livestock, and those practicing archery, when the caller of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called out: 'Prayer is to be gathered.' He said: I came to him while he was addressing the people and saying: 'O people, there was no prophet before me except that it was incumbent upon him to guide his Ummah to what he knew was good for them and to warn them of what he knew was evil for them. Indeed, the well-being of this Ummah is in its beginning, and its latter part will be afflicted with trials and tribulations that will make one another seem insignificant. A trial comes and the believer says: This is my destruction, then it clears away. Then another comes and he says: This one, this one. Then another comes and he says: This one, this one, then it clears away. Whoever wishes to be moved away from the Fire and enter Paradise, let death come to him while he believes in Allah and the Last Day, and let him bring to people what he loves to be brought to himself. Whoever pledges allegiance to a leader and gives him his hand-clasp and the fruit of his heart, let him obey him if he is able.' He said once: 'as much as he is able.' When I heard that, I put my head between two men and said: 'But your cousin Mu'awiyah commands us...' He placed his joined hand on his forehead, then lowered his head, then raised his head and said: 'Obey him in obedience to Allah, and disobey him in disobedience to Allah.' I said to him: 'Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said: 'Yes, my ears heard it and my heart retained it.'

     ✧ I entered the mosque of Iliya and prayed two rak'ahs facing a pillar. A man came and prayed near me, and the people leaned toward him. He was Abdullah b. Amr b. al-As. A messenger of Yazid b. Mu'awiyah came to him saying, 'Answer the summons.' He said, 'This one forbids me to narrate as his father used to forbid me, but I heard your Prophet ﷺ say: I seek refuge in You from a soul that is not satisfied, from a heart that is not humble, from a supplication that is not heard, and from knowledge that does not benefit. I seek refuge in You from these four.'

He dictated it to me and I wrote it. He said: I adjured you that you make this horse sweat until you bring me the book. He said: I rode the horse and urged it until it sweated, then brought him the book. In it was: Abdullah b. Amr b. al-As narrated to me that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Allah hates obscenity and vulgarity. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the Hour will not come until the trustworthy is betrayed and the treacherous is trusted, until obscenity, vulgarity, severing ties of kinship, and bad neighborliness appear. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the likeness of the believer is like a piece of gold: its owner blows on it, and it does not change or become dusty or diminish. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the likeness of the believer is like a bee: it eats what is good, produces what is good, and lands on a branch without breaking or spoiling it.' He said: And he said: 'Indeed, I have a pool whose two sides are as far apart as from Aylah to Makkah,' or he said, 'from San'a to Madinah, and in it are pitchers like the stars. It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Whoever drinks from it will never thirst again.' Abu Sabrah said: Then Ubayd Allah b. Ziyad took the book, and I grieved over it. Yahya b. Ya'mar met me, and I complained to him. He said: 'By Allah, I have memorized it better than a surah of the Qur'an.' Then he narrated it to me exactly as it was in the book.

He said: Either he sent for me or I met him, and he said: 'Was I not told that you fast without breaking your fast and pray at night? Do not do that, for your eyes have a share, your soul has a share, and your family has a share. Fast and break your fast, pray and sleep, and fast one day out of every ten, and you will have the reward of nine.' I said: 'I find myself stronger than that, O Prophet of Allah.' He said: 'Fast the fast of Dawud.' I said: 'How did Dawud fast, O Prophet of Allah?' He said: 'He would fast one day and break his fast one day, and he would not flee when he met the enemy.'

He said: And he continued to reduce it for me until he said, "The best fast is the fast of my brother Dawud, or the Prophet of Allah Dawud" — al-Jurayri was uncertain — "fast one day and break the fast one day." Abdullah said when he became weak: "Would that I had been content with what the Prophet ﷺ commanded me."

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered his house and said, "O Abdullah b. Amr, have I not been told that you burden yourself with standing at night and fasting during the day?" He said, "I indeed do that." He said, "It is sufficient for you — and I do not say: do it — to fast three days of every month; a good deed is multiplied tenfold, so it is as though you have fasted the entire time." He said: I became harsher, and it was made harsher upon me. He said: I said, "I find strength beyond that." He said, "It is sufficient for you to fast three days every week." He said: I became harsher, and it was made harsher upon me, so I said, "I find strength in myself." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The most just fast in the sight of Allah is the fast of Dawud, half of the time." Then he said, "Your soul has a right over you, and your family has a right over you." He said: Abdullah used to keep that fast, until old age and weakness overtook him, and he would say, "To have accepted the concession of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would be dearer to me than my family and wealth."

     ✧ I entered upon Abdullah b. Amr b. al-As in his house, and he questioned me, thinking that I was from the tribe of Umm Kulthum, daughter of Uqba. I said to him, "I am only from al-Kalbiyya, daughter of al-Asbagh, and I have come to ask you about what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ enjoined upon you, or said to you." He said: "During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I used to say: I will certainly recite the Qur'an every day and night, and I will certainly fast the whole time. That reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from me, so he came to me and entered my house and said, 'Has it not reached me, O Abdullah, that you say: I will certainly fast the whole time and recite the Qur'an every day and night?' He said: I said, 'Yes, I have said that, O Prophet of Allah.' He said, 'Then do not do that; fast three days of every month.' He said: I said, 'I can do more than that.' He said, 'Then fast Monday and Thursday.' He said: I said, 'I can do more than that, O Prophet of Allah.' He said, 'Then fast one day and break the fast one day; for it is the most just fast in the sight of Allah, and it is the fast of Dawud. He never broke a promise when he made one, nor did he flee when he met the enemy. And recite the Qur'an once every month.' He said: I said, 'I can do more than that, O Prophet of Allah.' He said, 'Then recite it once every half month.' He said: I said, 'I can do more than that, O Prophet of Allah.' He said, 'Then recite it every seven days, do not increase beyond that.'

     ✧ Three Muslim men sat with Marwan in Madinah and heard him speaking about the signs, that the first of them would be the emergence of the Dajjal. He said: The group left and went to Abdullah b. Amr and told him what they had heard from Marwan about the signs. Abdullah said, "Marwan said nothing. I have memorized from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a hadith concerning that which I have not forgotten since. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The first sign to emerge will be the rising of the sun from its west, and the emergence of the beast at forenoon. Whichever of them comes before its companion, the other will follow on its heels.'" Then Abdullah said — and he used to read the scriptures — "I think the first of them to emerge will be the rising of the sun from its west. That is because whenever it sets, it comes beneath the Throne and prostrates and asks permission to return, and permission is given to it to return, until when Allah wills that it rise from its west, it does as it used to do: it comes beneath the Throne and prostrates and asks permission to return, but nothing is answered to it. Then it asks permission to return, but nothing is answered to it. Then it asks permission, but nothing is answered to it, until when as much of the night has passed as Allah wills to pass, and it knows that if permission were given to it to return, it would not reach the east, it says, 'My Lord, how far is the east! Who will be with me among the people?' Until when the horizon becomes like a ring, it asks permission to return, and it is said to it, 'From your place, rise.' So it rises upon the people from its west." Then Abdullah recited this verse: "On the day when some of the signs of your Lord come, a soul's faith will not benefit it if it had not believed before or earned good through its faith."

He said: It was as if the people were amazed at the Bedouin's question, but he said, 'Why are you amazed at an ignorant person asking a knowledgeable one?' He said: He was silent for a brief moment, then he said, 'Where is the one asking about the clothes of Paradise?' He said, 'I am.' He said, 'No, rather they split open from the fruits of Paradise.'"

The affair of the pre-Islamic era is gone. The child belongs to the bed, and for the adulterer is the stone.' It was said: 'O Messenger of God, what is the stone?' He said: 'The rock.' And for the fingers: ten, ten; and for the clarifying wounds: five, five. And there is no prayer after dawn until the sun rises, and no prayer after the afternoon prayer until the sun sets. And a woman is not married to her paternal aunt, nor to her maternal aunt, and a woman's gift is not valid except with her husband's permission.
