    انْتَدَبَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِمَنْ خَرَجَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ، لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا جِهَادًا فِي سَبِيلِي، وَإِيمَانًا بِي، وَتَصْدِيقَ رَسُولِي فَهُوَ عَلَيَّ ضَامِنٌ أَنْ أُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ، أَوْ أُرْجِعَهُ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْهُ نَائِلًا مَا نَالَ مِنْ أَجْرٍ أَوْ غَنِيمَةٍ. وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، مَا مِنْ كَلْمٍ يُكْلَمُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ كُلِمَ لَوْنُهُ لَوْنُ دَمٍ، وَرِيحُهُ رِيحُ مِسْكٍ. وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا قَعَدْتُ خِلَافَ سَرِيَّةٍ تَغْزُو فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَبَدًا وَلَكِنِّي لَا أَجِدُ سَعَةً فَيَتْبَعُونِي، وَلَا تَطِيبُ أَنْفُسُهُمْ فَيَتَخَلَّفُونَ بَعْدِي. وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَوَدِدْتُ أَنْ أَغْزُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَأُقْتَلَ، ثُمَّ أَغْزُوَ فَأُقْتَلَ، ثُمَّ أَغْزُوَ فَأُقْتَلَ

By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no wound is inflicted in the cause of Allah except that it will come on the Day of Resurrection as it was on the day it was inflicted: its color the color of blood and its fragrance the fragrance of musk. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, were it not that I would burden the Muslims, I would not stay behind any expedition that goes out in the cause of Allah ever, but I do not find the means to mount them, and they do not have the resources, and they would not be pleased to stay behind after me.

Let them create a grain, or let them create a seed, or let them create a barley corn." Then he called for water for ablution and performed ablution, washing his forearms until he passed the elbows.

117. Musnad Ahmad 7235Sahih

     مَنْ يُرِدِ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُصِبْ مِنْهُ

     ✧ The prayer was commenced, the people stood in their rows, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out and stood at his place. Then he gestured to them with his hand to stay where they were. He went out and had bathed, his head dripping water, and then led them in prayer.

121. Musnad Ahmad 7239Sahih

     مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ وَلَا وَالِي إِلَّا وَلَهُ بِطَانَتَانِ: بِطَانَةٌ تَأْمُرُهُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَبِطَانَةٌ لَا تَأْلُوهُ خَبَالًا. وَمَنْ وُقِيَ شَرَّهُمَا فَقَدْ وُقِيَ، وَهُوَ مَعَ الَّتِي تَغْلِبُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُمَا

     ✧ There is no prophet or ruler but that he has two close advisors: an advisor who commands him to what is right, and an advisor who does not spare him any corruption. Whoever is protected from the evil of the two is protected, and he is with the one that prevails over him from the two.

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the next day, on the day of sacrifice while he was at Mina: "Tomorrow we are stopping at the valley of Banu Kinanah, where they swore together on disbelief," meaning thereby al-Muhassab. That is because Quraysh and Kinanah allied against Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib, that they would not intermarry with them or trade with them, until they handed over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to them.

123. Musnad Ahmad 7241Weak

It was made lawful for me only for an hour of the day, then it is sacred until the Day of Resurrection. Its trees shall not be cut, its game shall not be startled, and its lost property is not lawful except for one who announces it. If someone has a relative killed, he has the better of two options: either ransom or execution. A man from the people of Yemen called Abu Shah stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, write it down for me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Write it down for Abu Shah. Abbas stood up, or he said: Abbas said: O Messenger of Allah, except for the idhkhir, for it is for our graves and houses. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Except for the idhkhir.

     ✧ Abu Dharr said: O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy have taken the rewards. They pray as we pray, fast as we fast, and they have surplus wealth with which they give charity, while we have nothing to give in charity. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Shall I not guide you to words which, if you act upon them, you will catch up with those who have preceded you, and no one will catch up with you except one who does the like of your deeds? He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah.

     نَهَى أَنْ يَبِيعَ حَاضِرٌ لِبَادٍ، أَوْ يَتَنَاجَشُوا. أَوْ يَخْطُبَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ أَخِيهِ، أَوْ يَبِيعَ عَلَى بَيْعِ أَخِيهِ. وَلَا تَسْأَلِ الْمَرْأَةُ طَلَاقَ أُخْتِهَا لِتَكْتَفِئَ مَا فِي صَحْفَتِهَا ( أَوْ إِنَائِهَا )، وَلِتُنْكَحَ فَإِنَّمَا رِزْقُهَا عَلَى اللهِ

     يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِيكُمُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ حَكَمًا مُقْسِطًا، يَكْسِرُ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقْتُلُ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَضَعُ الْجِزْيَةَ. وَيَفِيضُ الْمَالُ حَتَّى لَا يَقْبَلَهُ أَحَدٌ

     ✧ It is imminent that the Son of Mary will descend among you as a just judge. He will break the cross, kill the pig, and abolish the jizyah. Wealth will overflow until no one will accept it.

     صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً نَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا الصُّبْحُ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ: هَلْ قَرَأَ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ قَالَ رَجُلٌ: أَنَا. قَالَ: أَقُولُ: مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ؟

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in a prayer we believe was the dawn prayer. When he finished, he said, “Did any of you recite?” A man said, “I did.” He said, “I say: What is the matter with me that I am being contested regarding the Quran?”

153. Musnad Ahmad 7271No grade recorded

     أَسْرِعُوا بِالْجِنَازَةِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَالِحَةً قَرَّبْتُمُوهَا إِلَى الْخَيْرِ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ شَرٌّ تَضَعُونَهُ عَنْ رِقَابِكُمْ.

     ✧ Hasten with the funeral bier, for if it was righteous, you bring it closer to good; and if it was otherwise, it is an evil you remove from your necks.

155. Musnad Ahmad 7273Sahih

     وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَيُهِلَّنَّ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ بِفَجِّ الرَّوْحَاءِ حَاجًّا أَوْ مُعْتَمِرًا أَوْ لَيُثَنِّيَنَّهُمَا

     ✧ By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the Son of Mary will certainly proclaim the talbiyah in the pass of al-Rawha’ as a pilgrim performing Hajj or ‘Umrah, or he will combine both.

156. Musnad Ahmad 7274Sahih

     إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى، لَا يَصْبُغُونَ فَخَالِفُوهُمْ

     ✧ The Jews and Christians do not dye their hair, so differ from them.

157. Musnad Ahmad 7275Sahih

     إِنَّكُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُكْثِرُ الْحَدِيثَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاللهُ الْمَوْعِدُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً مِسْكِينًا أَصْحَبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى مِلْءِ بَطْنِي، وَكَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الصَّفْقُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ، وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الْقِيَامُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ، فَحَضَرْتُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَجْلِسًا فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَبْسُطْ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى أَقْضِيَ مَقَالَتِي ثُمَّ يَقْبِضْهُ إِلَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَنْسَى شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ مِنِّي ؟ فَبَسَطْتُ بُرْدَةً عَلَيَّ حَتَّى قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ، ثُمَّ قَبَضْتُهَا إِلَيَّ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا نَسِيتُ شَيْئًا بَعْدَ أَنْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ

     ✧ You claim that Abu Hurayrah narrates many hadiths from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Allah is the One to whom we will return. I was a poor man who accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a full stomach, while the Emigrants were occupied with trading in the markets and the Helpers were occupied with tending their wealth. I attended a gathering of the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, “Who will spread his cloak until I finish my speech and then gather it to himself, and he will never forget anything he heard from me?” I spread a cloak I had on until he finished his speech, then I gathered it to myself. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I have not forgotten anything since I heard it from him.

158. Musnad Ahmad 7276Sahih

     إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ: أَكْثَرَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، وَاللهِ لَوْلَا آيَتَانِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ مَا حَدَّثْتُ حَدِيثًا، ثُمَّ يَتْلُو هَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنْـزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى

     ✧ People say, “Abu Hurayrah narrates too much.” By Allah, were it not for two verses in the Book of Allah, I would not have narrated a single hadith. Then he recited these two verses: “Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance…”

159. Musnad Ahmad 7277Sahih

     إِنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُكْثِرُ...

     ✧ You say that Abu Hurayrah narrates too much…

160. Musnad Ahmad 7278Sahih

     إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ أَحَدَكُمْ جَارُهُ أَنْ يَغْرِزَ خَشَبَةً فِي جِدَارِهِ فَلَا يَمْنَعْهُ. فَلَمَّا حَدَّثَهُمْ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ طَأْطَؤُوا رُؤُوسَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ مُعْرِضِينَ، وَاللهِ لَأَرْمِيَنَّ بِهَا بَيْنَ أَكْتَافِكُمْ

     ✧ If one of you is asked by his neighbor permission to place a wooden beam in his wall, he should not refuse him. When Abu Hurayrah narrated this to them, they lowered their heads. He said, “Why do I see you turning away? By Allah, I will throw it right between your shoulders!”

161. Musnad Ahmad 7279Sahih

     سَأَلْتُهُ أَنَا عَنْهُ: كَيْفَ الطَّعَامُ، طَعَامُ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ؟ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الْأَعْرَجُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: شَرُّ الطَّعَامِ [طَعَامُ] الْوَلِيمَةِ يُدْعَى إِلَيْهِ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ، وَيُتْرَكُ الْمَسَاكِينُ. وَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ

     ✧ I asked him about it: How is the food, the food of the rich? He said: Al-A‘raj told me, from Abu Hurayrah: The worst food is the food of a walimah to which the rich are invited and the poor are left out. Whoever does not attend the invitation has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.

162. Musnad Ahmad 7280Sahih

     مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ.

     ✧ Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.

163. Musnad Ahmad 7281Sahih

     سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُرَغِّبُ فِي قِيَامِ ( يَعْنِي ) رَمَضَانَ

     ✧ I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ urging the standing in prayer during (that is) Ramadan.

164. Musnad Ahmad 7282Sahih

     إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَلَا يَغْمِسْ يَدَهُ فِي إِنَائِهِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ

     ✧ When one of you wakes from his sleep, let him not immerse his hand in his vessel until he washes it three times, for he does not know where his hand spent the night.

165. Musnad Ahmad 7283No grade recorded

     أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا مَاتَ النَّجَاشِيُّ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لَهُ

     ✧ When the Negus died, the Messenger of God ﷺ informed them that he had died, so they sought forgiveness for him.

166. Musnad Ahmad 7284Sahih

     وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ رَكْعَةً فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ

     ✧ And whoever catches one rak'ah of the prayer has caught it.

167. Musnad Ahmad 7285Sahih

     التَّسْبِيحُ لِلرِّجَالِ، وَالتَّصْفِيحُ لِلنِّسَاءِ

     ✧ Saying subhan Allah is for men, and clapping is for women.

168. Musnad Ahmad 7286Sahih

     يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَهُوَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَيَلْبِسُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى لَا يَدْرِيَ كَمْ صَلَّى، فَمَنْ وَجَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ

     ✧ Satan comes to one of you while he is in his prayer and confuses him until he does not know how much he has prayed. Whoever experiences any of that, let him prostrate twice while sitting.

169. Musnad Ahmad 7287Sahih

     عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ؛ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ، إِلَّا السَّامَ.

     ✧ You should use this black seed, for in it is a cure for every disease except death.

170. Musnad Ahmad 7288Sahih

     نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الدُّبَّاءِ وَالْمُزَفَّتِ: أَنْ يُنْتَبَذَ فِيهِ وَيَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: وَاجْتَنِبُوا الْحَنَاتِمَ

     ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ forbade the gourd and the pitch-covered vessel: that nabidh be made in them. Abu Hurayrah said: And avoid the green jars.

171. Musnad Ahmad 7289Sahih

     أَبْصَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ الْأَقْرَعُ يُقَبِّلُ حَسَنًا فَقَالَ: لِي عَشَرَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ مَا قَبَّلْتُ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ قَطُّ. قَالَ: إِنَّهُ مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُ لَا يُرْحَمُ

     ✧ Al-Aqra' saw the Prophet ﷺ kissing Hasan, so he said: I have ten children and I have never kissed any of them. He said: The one who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.

172. Musnad Ahmad 7290Sahih

     أَنَّ: رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: هَلَكْتُ قَالَ: وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟ قَالَ: وَقَعْتُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِي فِي رَمَضَانَ. فَقَالَ: أَتَجِدُ رَقَبَةً؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: تَسْتَطِيعُ تَصُومُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: تَسْتَطِيعُ تُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: اجْلِسْ. فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ تَمْرٌ، ( وَالْعَرَقُ: الْمِكْتَلُ الضَّخْمُ ) قَالَ: تَصَدَّقْ بِهَذَا. قَالَ: عَلَى أَفْقَرَ مِنَّا؟! مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا أَفْقَرُ مِنَّا، قَالَ: فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ: أَطْعِمْهُ أَهْلَكَ. وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: فَتَبَسَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ أَنْيَابُهُ وَقَالَ: أَطْعِمْهُ عِيَالَكَ

     ✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I am destroyed. He said: What has destroyed you? He said: I had intercourse with my wife during Ramadan. He said: Can you find a slave to free? He said: No. He said: Are you able to fast two consecutive months? He said: No. He said: Are you able to feed sixty poor people? He said: No. He said: Sit down. Then a large basket of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, (and the 'araq is the large basket). He said: Give this in charity. He said: To those poorer than us? There is no one between its two lava fields poorer than us. The Messenger of God ﷺ laughed and said: Feed it to your family. And one time he said: He smiled until his canine teeth appeared and said: Feed it to your dependents.

173. Musnad Ahmad 7291Sahih

     أَيُّمَا صَلَاةٍ لَا يُقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَهِيَ خِدَاجٌ، ثُمَّ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ، ثُمَّ هِيَ خِدَاجٌ: قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: وَقَالَ قَبْلَ ذَاكَ حَبِيبِي عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: يَا فَارِسِيُّ اقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: قَسَمْتُ الصَّلَاةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي ( وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ ) فَإِذَا قَالَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ: حَمِدَنِي عَبْدِي. فَإِذَا قَالَ: الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ قَالَ: مَجَّدَنِي عَبْدِي ( أَوْ أَثْنَى عَلَيَّ عَبْدِي )، فَإِذَا قَالَ: مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ قَالَ: فَوَّضَ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِي، فَإِذَا قَالَ: إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ قَالَ: فَهَذِهِ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِي، وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَ ( وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: مَا سَأَلَنِي ) فَيَسْأَلُهُ عَبْدُهُ اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلا الضَّالِّينَ قَالَ: هَذَا لِعَبْدِي، وَلَكَ مَا سَأَلْتَ ( وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: وَلِعَبْدِي مَا سَأَلَنِي )

     ✧ Any prayer in which the Opening of the Book is not recited is deficient, then it is deficient, then it is deficient. Abu Hurayrah said: And before that, my beloved ﷺ said. He said: O Persian, recite the Opening of the Book, for I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: God, Mighty and Majestic, said: I have divided the prayer between Me and My servant (and one time he said: and My servant shall have what he asks). When he says: Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, He says: My servant has praised Me. When he says: The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, He says: My servant has glorified Me (or: My servant has extolled Me). When he says: Master of the Day of Judgment, He says: My servant has entrusted his affairs to Me. When he says: You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help, He says: This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall have what he asks (and one time he said: what he asked of Me). Then His servant asks: Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have earned anger nor of those who go astray. He says: This is for My servant, and you shall have what you asked (and one time he said: and My servant shall have what he asked of Me).

174. Musnad Ahmad 7292Sahih

     ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ passed by a man selling food. He asked him: How do you sell? He told him, and it was revealed to him: Put your hand into it. He put his hand into it and found it wet. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: He who cheats us is not one of us.

175. Musnad Ahmad 7293Sahih

     ✧ If My servant intends a good deed, write it down for him. If he does it, write it down for him as ten times its like. If he intends an evil deed, do not write it down. If he does it, write it down as its like. If he leaves it, write it down as a good deed.

179. Musnad Ahmad 7297Sahih

     لَا يَأْتِي النَّذْرُ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أُقَدِّرْهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ شَيْءٌ أَسْتَخْرِجُ بِهِ مِنَ الْبَخِيلِ يُؤْتِينِي عَلَيْهِ مَا لَا يُؤْتِينِي عَلَى الْبُخْلِ

188. Musnad Ahmad 7306Sahih

     النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي هَذَا الشَّأْنِ، مُسْلِمُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِمُسْلِمِهِمْ، وَكَافِرُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِكَافِرِهِمْ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No, only twenty-two days have passed and seven remain. Look for it tonight." He ﷺ mentioned that the month is twenty-nine days long.

     إِنَّ لِلهِ مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّاحِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فُضُلًا عَنْ كُتَّابِ النَّاسِ، فَإِذَا وَجَدُوا قَوْمًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ تَنَادَوْا: هَلُمُّوا إِلَى بُغْيَتِكُمْ، فَيَجِيئُونَ فَيَحُفُّونَ بِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا. فَيَقُولُ اللهُ: أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تَرَكْتُمْ عِبَادِي يَصْنَعُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: تَرَكْنَاهُمْ يَحْمَدُونَكَ وَيُمَجِّدُونَكَ وَيَذْكُرُونَكَ. فَيَقُولُ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْنِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. فَيَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْنِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْكَ لَكَانُوا لَكَ أَشَدَّ تَحْمِيدًا وَتَمْجِيدًا وَذِكْرًا. فَيَقُولُ: فَأَيَّ شَيْءٍ يَطْلُبُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: يَطْلُبُونَ الْجَنَّةَ. فَيَقُولُ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. فَيَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهَا حِرْصًا وَأَشَدَّ لَهَا طَلَبًا. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: وَمِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ يَتَعَوَّذُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: مِنَ النَّارِ. فَيَقُولُ: وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لَوْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْهَا هَرَبًا وَأَشَدَّ مِنْهَا خَوْفًا. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ. قَالَ: فَيَقُولُونَ: فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ فُلَانًا الْخَطَّاءَ، لَمْ يُرِدْهُمْ إِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِحَاجَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ: هُمُ الْقَوْمُ لَا يَشْقَى بِهِمْ جَلِيسُهُمْ

     ✧ Allah has angels who roam the earth, in addition to the scribes of people. When they find a people remembering Allah, they call out: Come to what you seek. They come and surround them up to the lowest heaven. Allah says: What did you leave My servants doing? They say: We left them praising You, glorifying You, and remembering You. He says: Have they seen Me? They say: No. He says: How would it be if they saw Me? They say: If they saw You, they would be even more intense in praising, glorifying, and remembering You. He says: What do they seek? They say: They seek Paradise. He says: Have they seen it? They say: No. He says: How would it be if they saw it? They say: If they saw it, they would be more eager for it and more desirous of it. He says: From what do they seek refuge? They say: From the Fire. He says: Have they seen it? They say: No. He says: How would it be if they saw it? They say: If they saw it, they would flee from it more intensely and fear it more greatly. He says: I call you to witness that I have forgiven them. They say: Among them is so-and-so, the sinner, who did not intend them but only came for some need of his. He says: They are a people whose companion will not be made wretched.

307. Musnad Ahmad 7425Sahih

     7501 7543 7425 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ( وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ ) نَحْوَهُ

     ✧ 7501 7543 7425 - Muhammad b. Ja'far narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Sulayman, from Dhakwan, from Abu Hurayrah (and he did not attribute it to the Prophet) something similar.

308. Musnad Ahmad 7426Sahih

     إِنَّ لِلهِ مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّارَةً فُضُلًا، يَبْتَغُونَ مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ

309. Musnad Ahmad 7427Sahih

     مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، وَمَنْ يَسَّرَ عَلَى مُعْسِرٍ يَسَّرَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ. وَاللهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ. وَمَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللهِ، يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلَّا نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ، وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ، وَحَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ. وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ

     "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever relieves a Muslim of some worldly distress, Allah will relieve him of some of the distress of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever conceals (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will conceal him (his faults) in this world and the Day of Resurrection. And whoever relives the burden from a destitute person, Allah will relieve him in this world and the next. Allah will help His slave so long as His slave helps his brother. Whoever follows a path in pursuit of knowledge, Allah will make easy fro him a path to paradise. No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and teaching it to one another, but the angels will surround them, tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will envelop them and Allah will mention them to those who are with Him. And whoever is hindered because of his bad deeds, his lineage will be of no avail to him.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 225)

310. Musnad Ahmad 7428Sahih

     إِذَا الْعَبْدُ أَدَّى حَقَّ اللهِ وَحَقَّ مَوَالِيهِ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرَانِ. قَالَ: فَحَدَّثْتُهُمَا كَعْبًا قَالَ كَعْبٌ: لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ حِسَابٌ، وَلَا عَلَى مُؤْمِنٍ مُزْهِدٍ

     When a slave fulfils obligation of Allah and obligation of his master, he has two rewards for him. I narrated this to Ka'b, and Ka'b said: (Such a slave) has no accountability, nor has a poor believer. (Using translation from Muslim 1666a)

311. Musnad Ahmad 7429Sahih

     إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا تَرَكَ غِنًى. تَقُولُ امْرَأَتُكَ: أَطْعِمْنِي وَإِلَّا فَطَلِّقْنِي، وَيَقُولُ خَادِمُكَ: أَطْعِمْنِي وَإِلَّا فَبِعْنِي وَيَقُولُ وَلَدُكَ: إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنِي. قَالُوا: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، هَذَا شَيْءٌ قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ؟ أَمْ هَذَا مِنْ كِيسِكَ؟ قَالَ: [لَا] بَلْ هَذَا مِنْ كِيسِي

     ✧ The best charity is that which leaves one wealthy. Your wife says: Feed me or divorce me. Your servant says: Feed me or sell me. Your child says: To whom do you entrust me? They said: O Abu Hurayrah, is this something the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, or is this from your own pocket? He said: [No], rather this is from my own pocket.

312. Musnad Ahmad 7430Sahih

     صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ تَزِيدُ عَنْ صَلَاتِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَصَلَاتِهِ فِي سُوقِهِ بِضْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً؛ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ، ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ لَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ، وَلَا يَنْهَزُهُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةُ لَمْ يَخْطُ خُطْوَةً إِلَّا رُفِعَ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةٌ، وَحُطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةٌ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ كَانَ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا كَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ هِيَ تَحْبِسُهُ. وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمْ مَا دَامَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ، يَقُولُونَ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ، اللَّهُمَّ تُبْ عَلَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يُؤْذِ فِيهِ، مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ فِيهِ

     ✧ A man's prayer in congregation exceeds his prayer in his house and his prayer in his marketplace by twenty-some degrees. That is because when one of you performs ablution and does it well, then comes to the mosque intending only the prayer, and nothing prompts him except the prayer, he does not take a step except that a degree is raised for him by it, and a sin is removed from him by it, until he enters the mosque. When he enters the mosque, he is in prayer as long as the prayer is what detains him. And the angels send blessings upon one of them as long as he remains in the place where he prayed, saying: O Allah, forgive him; O Allah, have mercy on him; O Allah, turn to him, as long as he does not harm anyone therein and does not nullify his ablution therein.

313. Musnad Ahmad 7431Sahih

     ✧ The people of Yemen have come to you. They are softer in hearts and more tender in feelings. Faith is Yemeni, and wisdom is Yemeni.

315. Musnad Ahmad 7433Sahih

     لَمْ تَحِلَّ الْغَنَائِمُ لِقَوْمٍ سُودِ الرُّؤُوسِ قَبْلَكُمْ، كَانَتْ تَنْزِلُ النَّارُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتَأْكُلُهَا. فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَسْرَعَ النَّاسُ فِي الْغَنَائِمِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَوْلا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ فَكُلُوا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا

     ✧ War booty was not lawful for any people with black heads before you. Fire used to descend from the sky and consume it. On the day of Badr, people hastened to take booty, so Allah, mighty and majestic, revealed: 'Had it not been for a previous decree from Allah, a severe punishment would have touched you for what you took. So eat of what you have taken as booty, lawful and good.'

316. Musnad Ahmad 7434Sahih

     مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللهَ، وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَقَدْ عَصَى اللهَ. وَمَنْ أَطَاعَ الْأَمِيرَ ( وَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ: الْإِمَامَ ) فَقَدْ أَطَاعَنِي، وَمَنْ عَصَى الْأَمِيرَ فَقَدْ عَصَانِي ( وَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ: الْإِمَامَ فَقَدْ عَصَانِي )

     ✧ Whoever obeys me has obeyed Allah, and whoever disobeys me has disobeyed Allah. Whoever obeys the commander (and Waki' said: the imam) has obeyed me, and whoever disobeys the commander has disobeyed me (and Waki' said: the imam, has disobeyed me).

317. Musnad Ahmad 7435Sahih

     [إِنَّ] أَوَّلَ زُمْرَةٍ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى صُورَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ عَلَى أَشَدِّ نَجْمٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ إِضَاءَةً، ثُمَّ هُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنَازِلُ. لَا يَتَغَوَّطُونَ وَلَا يَبُولُونَ، وَلَا يَتَمَخَّطُونَ وَلَا يَبْزُقُونَ. أَمْشَاطُهُمُ الذَّهَبُ، وَرَشْحُهُمُ الْمِسْكُ، وَمَجَامِرُهُمُ الْأَلُوَّةُ. أَخْلَاقُهُمْ عَلَى خُلُقِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى طُولِ أَبِيهِمْ آدَمَ سِتِّينَ ذِرَاعًا

     The first group of my Ummah to get into Paradise would be like a full moon in the night. Then those who would be next to them; they would be like the most significantly glittering stars in regard to brightness, then after them (others) in ranks. They would neither void excrement, nor pass water, nor suffer from catarrh, nor would they spit. And their combs would be made of gold, and the fuel of their braziers would be aloes and their sweat would be musk and their form would be the form of one single person according to the length of their father sixty cubits tall. This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Ibn Abi Shaiba with a slight variation of wording. (Using translation from Muslim 2834d)

318. Musnad Ahmad 7436Sahih

     لَعَنَ اللهُ السَّارِقَ يَسْرِقُ الْبَيْضَةَ فَتُقْطَعُ يَدُهُ، وَيَسْرِقُ الْحَبْلَ فَتُقْطَعُ يَدُهُ

     ✧ And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept going until he reached those people, so they kept going, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about it, so he forbade them and said, "I am not like you. I am under the shade of my Lord, where He feeds me and gives me drink."

320. Musnad Ahmad 7438Sahih

     إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَا يُدْخِلْ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ

     ✧ When one of you wakes up from the night, let him not put his hand into the vessel until he washes it three times, for he does not know where his hand spent the night.

321. Musnad Ahmad 7439Sahih

     وَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ. وَأَبِي رَزِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ يَرْفَعُهُ " ثَلَاثًا "

     ✧ The crown of the head of one of you is a rope with three knots. When he wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is untied. When he gets up and performs ablution, another knot is untied. When he stands for prayer, all his knots are untied. He said: Then he enters the morning active and good in spirit, having attained good. And if he does not do so, he enters the morning lazy and evil in spirit, having attained no good.

324. Musnad Ahmad 7442Sahih

     ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللهُ، وَلَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ، وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ: رَجُلٌ عَلَى فَضْلِ مَاءٍ بِالْفَلَاةِ يَمْنَعُهُ مِنَ ابْنِ السَّبِيلِ، وَرَجُلٌ بَايَعَ الْإِمَامَ لَا يُبَايِعُهُ إِلَّا لِدُنْيَا فَإِنْ أَعْطَاهُ مِنْهَا وَفَى لَهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ لَمْ يَفِ لَهُ. قَالَ: وَرَجُلٌ بَايَعَ رَجُلًا سِلْعَةً بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَحَلَفَ لَهُ بِاللهِ لَأَخَذَهَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا، فَصَدَّقَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ

     ✧ Three people whom Allah will not speak to, nor look at, nor purify, and they will have a painful punishment: a man who has surplus water in the desert and withholds it from the wayfarer; and a man who gives allegiance to an imam only for worldly gain, so if he gives him something of it, he fulfills his pledge, but if he does not give him, he does not fulfill it. He said: And a man who sells a commodity to another man after the afternoon prayer and swears by Allah that he took it for such and such, so the other believes him, but he is lying about it.

331. Musnad Ahmad 7449Sahih

     انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ، وَلَا تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ [هُوَ] فَوْقَكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لَا تَزْدَرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللهِ. قَالَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ: عَلَيْكُمْ

Whatever they consume into their bellies is a reward for him, and if they pass by a river and drink from it, whatever they consume into their bellies is a reward for him, and if they pass by a meadow and eat from it, it is a reward for him, and if they prance on a hill, for every step they take he has a reward, until he even mentioned their dung and urine. As for the one for whom they are a covering and beauty, it is a man who keeps them out of honor and beautification, and does not forget the rights of their bellies and backs in hardship and ease. As for the one for whom they are a burden, it is a man who keeps them out of pride, arrogance, showing off, and extravagance. Then he was asked about donkeys, and he said: Allah has not sent down anything to me about them except this unique, comprehensive verse: 'So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.'
