✧ A Jew said to his companion: "Take us to the Prophet"—and Yazid said: "to this Prophet"—"so that we may ask him about this verse: 'And We certainly gave Moses nine signs.'" He said: "Do not say to him 'Prophet,' for if he hears you, he will have four eyes." So they asked him, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not associate anything with God, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not kill the soul which God has forbidden except by right, do not practice magic, do not consume usury, do not walk with an innocent person to a ruler so that he may kill him, and do not slander chaste women"—or he said: "do not flee from battle"—Shuba was the one uncertain—"and you, O Jews, especially you must not transgress"—Yazid said: "do not transgress in the Sabbath." Then they kissed his hand and his foot—Yazid said: "they kissed his hands and his feet"—and said: "We bear witness that you are a Prophet." He said: "What prevents you from following me?" They said: "David ﷺ prayed that there would always be a prophet from his progeny, and we fear"—Yazid said: "if we become Muslims"—"that the Jews will kill us."

While we were with him on a journey, a Bedouin called out to him with a loud voice and said: ‘O Muḥammad!’ We said: ‘Woe to you! Lower your voice, for you have been forbidden from that.’ He said: ‘By God, I will not lower my voice.’ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: ‘Here I am,’ and he answered him in a manner similar to his question” – and Sufyān once said: “and he answered him with something like what he had spoken” – “then he said: ‘What do you think of a man who loves a people but has not yet joined them?’ He said: ‘He is with those whom he loves.’” He said: “Then he did not cease speaking to us until he said: ‘Indeed, from the direction of the west there is a gate whose width is a journey of seventy – or forty – years.

✧ We were with al-Mughira b. Shu'ba, and he was asked: 'Did anyone of this ummah lead the Prophet ﷺ in prayer other than Abu Bakr?' He said: 'Yes. We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey, and when it was the time before dawn, he struck the neck of my mount. I thought he had a need, so I turned aside with him. We went until we were apart from the people. He dismounted from his mount, then went and disappeared from me until I could not see him. He stayed for a long time, then came and said: 'Do you need anything, O Mughira?' I said: 'I have no need.' He said: 'Do you have water with you?' I said: 'Yes.' I went to a water-skin, or a small water-skin, hanging on the back of the saddle, and brought him water. He poured it over his hands and washed them well—he said: And I am uncertain whether he said: he rubbed them with dust or not—then he washed his face. Then he went to uncover his arms, and he had on a narrow-sleeved Syrian jubbah, and it was too tight, so he brought his hands out from beneath it, and washed his face and hands—he said: Does the hadith mention washing the face twice? He said: I do not know whether it was so or not—then he wiped his forelock, wiped over the turban, and wiped over the leather socks. We mounted and caught up with the people, and the prayer had been established. 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf had gone ahead of them and had led them in one rak'ah while they were in the second. I went to inform him, but he stopped me. We prayed the rak'ah that we caught, and made up the rak'ah that we had missed.

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned to him a woman I intended to propose to. He said: 'Go and look at her, for that is more likely to create affection between you two.' He said: So I went to a woman of the Anṣār and proposed to her to her parents, and I informed them of the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It was as if they disliked that. He said: The woman heard that while she was in her curtained chamber, and she said: 'If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded you to look, then look; otherwise, I adjure you.' It was as if she deemed that a serious matter against him. He said: So I looked at her and married her. [He said:] And he mentioned her compatibility.

His is the dominion and His is the praise. O Allah, none can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and the fortune of the fortunate avails nothing against You.'

✧ A man of the Anṣār named Qaraẓa b. Kaʿb died, and wailing was done over him. Al-Mughira b. Shuʿba went out, ascended the pulpit, praised Allah, and extolled Him, then said: 'What is the matter with wailing in Islam? Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Lying about me is not like lying about anyone else. Verily, whoever lies about me deliberately, let him take his seat in the Fire.'

Awf; and a man wiping over his leather socks, and I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wipe over the leather socks.

أَنِ اكْتُبْ إِلَيَّ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى فَفَرَغَ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ
Muawiyah wrote to Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah saying: "Tell me of something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said: "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished praying, he would say: La Ilaha Illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. Allahumma la mani' lima a'taita wa la mu'tia lima mana'ta wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minka al-jadd. (There is none worthy of worship except Allah ﷺ alone with no partner or associate. He is the Dominion and to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things. O Allah, one can withhold what You have given and none can give what You have withheld, and no wealth or fortune can benefit anyone for from You comes all wealth and fortune.)'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1341)

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ بِإِدَاوَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ شَامِيَّةٌ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ على أَنْ يُخْرِجَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ كُمَّيْهَا فَأَخْرَجَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ
✧ I was with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. He relieved himself, then I brought him a vessel of water. He was wearing a Syrian jubbah. He said: He could not get his hands out of its sleeves, so he took his hands out from its bottom, then performed ablution and wiped over his leather socks.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to relieve himself during the expedition of Tabuk. Al-Mughira said: I went with him carrying water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, and I poured water for him. He washed his face, then tried to take his hands out of the sleeves of his jubba but could not because the sleeves were tight. So he brought them out from under the jubba and washed his hands, wiped his head, and wiped over his leather socks. The Prophet ﷺ came while 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf was leading the people in prayer, having already prayed one rak'a with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the remaining rak'a with them. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, he said: You have done well.

✧ We said: Did anyone from this community lead the Prophet ﷺ in prayer other than Abu Bakr al-Siddiq? He said: Yes. We were on such-and-such a journey, and when it was the pre-dawn time, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ struck the neck of his mount and set off, and I followed him. He disappeared from me for a while, then came back and said: Do you need anything? I said: I have no need, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Is there any water? I said: Yes. I poured water for him, and he washed his hands, then washed his face. Then he tried to uncover his forearms, and he was wearing a Syrian jubba, which was tight, so he inserted his hands and brought them out from under the jubba. He washed his face and forearms, wiped his forelock and over his turban and leather socks. Then we caught up with the people when the prayer had already been called, and 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf was leading them and had prayed one rak'a. I went to inform him, but he stopped me. So we prayed the rak'a we caught and made up the one we had missed.

✧ No one asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the Dajjal more than I did. He said to me: O my dear son, why do you trouble yourself about him? He will never harm you. I said: O Messenger of Allah, they claim that he will have mountains of bread and rivers of water. He said: He is more insignificant before Allah ﷻ than that.
Musnad Ahmad 18168Sahih
سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مَعَ امْرَأَتِي لَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ غَيْرَ مُصْفَحٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ غَيْرَةِ سَعْدٍ فَوَاللهِ لَأَنَا أَغْيَرُ مِنْهُ وَاللهُ أَغْيَرُ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أَجْلِ غَيْرَةِ اللهِ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَابَطَنَ وَلَا شَخْصَ أَغْيَرُ مِنَ اللهِ وَلَا شَخْصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ بَعَثَ اللهُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ وَلَا شَخْصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِدْحَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ وَعَدَ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ
✧ Sa'd b. 'Ubada said: If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike him with the sword, not with the flat side. This reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: Are you amazed at Sa'd's jealousy? By Allah, I am more jealous than he, and Allah is more jealous than I. Because of Allah's jealousy, He has forbidden immoralities, both open and secret. No one is more jealous than Allah, and no one loves to be excused more than Allah. For that reason, Allah sent the messengers as bearers of good tidings and warners. And no one loves praise more than Allah; for that reason, Allah has promised Paradise.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ lagged behind and relieved himself. He said: Do you have water for purification? He said: I followed him with a vessel containing water. He washed his palms and face, then tried to uncover his forearms, but the sleeves of the jubba were tight, so he took his hands out from under the jubba and washed his forearms. Then he wiped over his turban and his leather socks, and he mounted, and I mounted my riding animal. We reached the people when 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf had already led them in one rak'a. When he sensed the Prophet ﷺ, he started to step back, but the Prophet gestured to him to complete the prayer and said: You have done well; do likewise.

✧ He said: “I stayed behind with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the expedition of Tabūk. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went aside to relieve himself, then returned to me, and I had the water vessel.” He said: “I poured water over the hands of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then he sniffed water into his nose.” Yaʿqūb said: “Then he rinsed his mouth, then washed his face three times. Then he wanted to wash his hands before taking them out of the sleeves of his jubbah, but its sleeves were too tight, so he took his hand out of the jubbah and washed his right hand three times and his left hand three times, then wiped over his leather socks and did not remove them. Then he went to the people and found that they had put ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf forward to lead them in prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught one of the two rakʿahs and prayed the last rakʿah with the people following the prayer of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān. When ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said the taslīm, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to complete his prayer. This alarmed the Muslims, and they glorified Allah excessively. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he turned to them and said: “You have done well and acted correctly,” commending them for praying the prayer at its proper time.”

✧ The rider moves behind the funeral procession, and the walker walks behind it and in front of it and to its right and its left, close by.

✧ We were with al-Mughīrah b. Shuʿbah, and he was asked: “Did anyone from this ummah lead the Prophet ﷺ in prayer other than Abū Bakr?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “That increased my confidence in the narration he was about to relate.” He said: “We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. In the pre-dawn hours, he struck the neck of my mount, and I thought he had a need, so I turned aside with him. We went until we were apart from the people. He dismounted from his mount, then went off and disappeared from me until I could not see him. He remained for a long time, then came and said: “Do you need anything, O Mughīrah?” I said: “I have no need.” He said: “Do you have water with you?” I said: “Yes.” I went to a water skin—or he said a small water skin—hanging at the rear of the saddle and brought it to him. I poured water over him, and he washed his hands, washing them well.” He said: “And I doubt whether he said he rubbed them with dust or not. Then he washed his face. Then he went to bare his arm, and he was wearing a Syrian jubbah with tight sleeves, and it was too tight, so he took his hands out from under it. Then he washed his face and hands.” He said: “In the narration, washing the face appears twice, so I do not know whether it was so or not. Then he wiped his forelock, wiped over his turban, and wiped over his leather socks. Then we mounted and caught up with the people. The prayer had been called, and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf had stepped forward and led them in one rakʿah while they were in the second. I went to inform him, but he stopped me. So we prayed the rakʿah we caught and made up what we had missed.”
Musnad Ahmad 18183Sahih

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the taslīm, he would say: “There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent. O Allah, none can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and no possessor of fortune can benefit from his fortune against You.”
Musnad Ahmad 18184Sahih

He said: He tried to take his hands out through the sleeves, but they were too tight, so he brought his hands out from beneath the jubba. I poured water for him, and he performed ablution as for prayer, then wiped over his leather socks, then prayed.

He put his hand inside the cloak and lifted it onto his shoulder, then he took his hands out from under the cloak and washed his arms. He wiped over his turban, mentioning his ears with something, and he wiped over his footwear. Then we caught up with the people during the Fajr prayer, and 'Abdul Rahman was leading them in prayer and they had already prayed one unit of prayer.

✧ He informed him that he went on the expedition of Tabuk with the Messenger of God ﷺ. Al-Mughira said: The Messenger of God ﷺ went aside to relieve himself before the dawn prayer, and I carried a water vessel with him. When the Messenger of God ﷺ returned to me, I began pouring water from the vessel over his hands, and he washed his hands three times, then washed his face. Then he tried to take his jubba off his forearms, but the sleeves of his jubba were too tight, so he inserted his hands into the jubba until he brought his forearms out from beneath it, and he washed his forearms up to the elbows. Then he wiped over his leather socks. Then he came forward. Al-Mughira said: I came forward with him until we found that the people had already put 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf forward to lead them in prayer. He caught one of the two rak'ahs. 'Abd al-Razzaq and Ibn Bakr said: So he prayed the last rak'ah with the people. When 'Abd al-Rahman said the salam, the Messenger of God ﷺ stood up to complete his prayer. That alarmed the Muslims, and they began glorifying God repeatedly. When the Messenger of God ﷺ finished his prayer, he turned to them and said: "You have done well," or "You have been correct," commending them for praying at its proper time.

One night I was with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. He asked (me), "Have you got water with you?" I replied, "Yes" So he got down from his she-camel and went away till he disappeared in the darkness of the night. Then he came back and I poured water for him from the pot (for the ablution). He washed his face and hands while he was wearing a woollen cloak (the sleeves of which were narrow), so he could not take his arms out of it. So he took them out from underneath the cloak. Then he washed his forearms and passed his wet hands over his head. Then I tried to take off his Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather), but he said, "Leave them, for I have performed ablution before putting them on." And so he passed his wet hands over them. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5799)

He said: “If you strike it with its sharp edge, then eat it; but if you strike it with its broad side, then it is a waqīdh (an animal killed by a blunt blow).” And I asked him about hunting with a dog. Wakīʿ said: “If you send your dog and mention Allah’s name, then eat.” He said: “Whatever it holds back for you and does not eat, then eat it, for its grasping is its slaughter. But if you find another dog with your dog and you fear that it took it together with it and has killed it, then do not eat, for you only mentioned Allah’s name over your dog and not over the other.”

What is lawful for us from them?” He said: “Lawful for you is what you have trained of hunting beasts, training them as God has taught you. So eat of what they hold for you, and mention God’s name over it. Whatever you have trained of dog or falcon, then you send it and mention God’s name over it, eat of what it holds for you.” I said: “Even if it kills?” He said: “Even if it kills, and it has not eaten anything of it, for it only held it for you.” I said: “What do you think if other dogs mix with our dogs when we send them?” He said: “Do not eat until you know that your dog was the one that held it for you.” I said: “O Messenger of God, we are a people who shoot.

I said to ʿAdī b. Ḥātim: A report has reached me about you, and I would like to hear it from you. He (ʿAdī) said: Yes. When I heard of the appearance of the Messenger of God ﷺ, I disliked his emergence with an intense dislike, so I set out until I reached the land of the Byzantines, until I came to Caesar. He said: But I hated that place even more than I hated his appearance, so I said: By God, I will certainly go to this man: if he is lying, it will not harm me, and if he is truthful, I will know. He said: So I arrived and went to him, and when I entered upon him the people said: ʿAdī b. Ḥātim! ʿAdī b. Ḥātim! He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: “O ʿAdī b. Ḥātim, accept Islam and you will be safe,” three times. I said: I am upon a religion. He said: “I know your religion better than you do.” I said: You know my religion better than I do? He said: “Yes. Are you not from the Rakūsiyyah, and do you not consume the mirbāʿ of your people?” I said: Yes. He said: “That is not lawful for you in your religion.” He said: No sooner had he said it than I humbled myself to it. Then he said: “Indeed I know what keeps you from Islam: you say, ‘Only the weak among people and those with no power have followed him, and the Arabs have cast them aside.’ Do you know al-Ḥīrah?” I said: I have not seen it, though I have heard of it. He said: “By the One in whose hand is my soul, God will surely bring this matter to completion, until a woman in a howdah sets out from al-Ḥīrah and goes around the House ˹of Allah˺, fearing none but Allah; and the treasures of Kisrā b. Hurmuz will surely be opened.” I said: Kisrā b. Hurmuz? He said: “Yes, Kisrā ibn Hurmuz; and wealth will surely become so abundant that no one will accept it.” ʿAdī said: I have seen the woman in a howdah set out from al-Ḥīrah and go around the House without any protection; and I was among those who opened the treasures of Kisrā ibn Hurmuz; and by the One in whose hand is my soul, the third will surely come to pass, because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said it.

A necklace of hers made of Ẓafār onyx broke, and the people were detained in searching for that necklace until dawn broke, and there was no water with the people. So Allah, mighty and majestic, sent down upon His Messenger ﷺ the concession of purification with clean earth. The Muslims arose with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and struck their hands on the ground, then lifted their hands without taking any dust, and wiped their faces and their hands up to the shoulders, and from the inner sides of their hands to their armpits—let no one be misled by this. It reached us that Abū Bakr said to ‘Ā’ishah ؓ, “By Allah, I did not know that you were indeed blessed.”

I ask You for fear of You in secret and in public, the word of truth in anger and in contentment, moderation in poverty and wealth, the delight of looking at Your face, and longing to meet You.

Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him, and he said, ‘It would have sufficed you to do this,’ and he struck the ground with his hand, then wiped each of them with the other, then wiped his face with them.” Al-A‘mash did not approve of wiping only the palms. ‘Abd Allāh said to him, “Did you not see that ‘Umar was not satisfied with ‘Ammār’s statement?”

✧ I was sitting with ‘Abd Allāh and Abū Mūsā al-Ash‘arī. Abū Mūsā said to ‘Abd Allāh, “If a man does not find water, is he not to pray?” ‘Abd Allāh said, “No.” Abū Mūsā said, “Do you not remember when ‘Ammār said to ‘Umar: Do you not remember when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me and you with camels, and I became ritually impure and rolled in the dust? When I returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and said, ‘It would have sufficed you to do this,’ and he struck the ground with his palms, then wiped both his palms together, and wiped his face once with one strike.” ‘Abd Allāh said, “No doubt, I have not seen ‘Umar accept that.” Abū Mūsā said to him, “Then what about this verse in Sūrat al-Nisā’: {But if you do not find water, then perform tayammum with clean earth}?” He said, “And ‘Abd Allāh did not know what to say. He said, ‘If we gave them a concession in tayammum, one of them would be quick, whenever the water was cold on his skin, to perform tayammum.’”

✧ Abū Mūsā said to ‘Abd Allāh b. Mas‘ūd, “If we do not find water, shall we not pray?” ‘Abd Allāh said, “Yes, if we do not find water for a month, we will not pray. If I gave them a concession in this, when one of them felt the cold he would say, ‘Like this’—meaning he would perform tayammum—and pray.” I said to him, “Then what about ‘Ammār’s statement to ‘Umar?” He said, “I have not seen ‘Umar accept ‘Ammār’s statement.”

You did not pray, but I rolled in the dirt and prayed.

Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "We are satisfied with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad ﷺ as our Messenger." The Prophet ﷺ then turned away and said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, if Musa were to come amongst you and you were to follow him and leave me, you would be led astray. You are my share of the nations, just as I am your share among the prophets."

He replied, "He is the follower, who belongs to a man and gets some of his servants illicitly, without marriage."

✧ Indeed, from raisins is wine, from dates is wine, from wheat is wine, from barley is wine, and from honey is wine.
Musnad Ahmad 18351Weak
كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: إِنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ - أَوْ يَزْعُمُونَ - أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ إِذَا انْكَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ، وَإِنَّ ذَاكَ لَيْسَ كَذَاكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ، فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ
✧ The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: He would pray two rak'ahs, then supplicate, then pray two rak'ahs, then supplicate, until the sun cleared. He said: Then he said: Some people of the pre-Islamic era say—or claim—that the sun and the moon, when one of them eclipses, they only eclipse for the death of a great one among the great people of the earth. But that is not so. Rather, they are two creatures among God's creatures; when God, Almighty and Majestic, manifests Himself to something of His creation, it humbles itself before Him.

إِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي.
✧ Supplication is worship. Then he recited: 'Call upon Me, I will respond to you. Indeed, those who disdain My worship' (Quran 40:60).
Musnad Ahmad 18353Sahih

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ came out to us while we were in the mosque after the 'isha prayer. He raised his sight to the sky, then lowered it, until we thought that something had happened in the sky. Then he said: Verily, after me there will be rulers who lie and oppress. Whoever confirms them in their lying and supports them in their oppression is not of me, nor am I of him. And whoever does not confirm them in their lying and does not support them in their oppression is of me, and I am of him. Verily, the blood of a Muslim is its expiation. Verily, 'Glory be to God,' 'Praise be to God,' 'There is no god but God,' and 'God is greatest' are the enduring righteous deeds.
Musnad Ahmad 18354Sahih

✧ His father gave him a gift. Umm al-Nu'man said to him: 'Call a witness for my son regarding this gift.' So he went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him.

سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ: وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ - أَوْ قَالَ: نَبِيُّكُمْ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: - يَشْبَعُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ، وَمَا تَرْضَوْنَ دُونَ أَلْوَانِ التَّمْرِ وَالزُّبْدِ. !
✧ I heard al-Nu'man b. Bashir say from the pulpit of Kufa: By God, the Prophet ﷺ—or he said: Your Prophet ﷺ —never had his fill of low-grade dates, yet you are not content without varieties of dates and butter!
Musnad Ahmad 18357Sahih
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: أَحْمَدُ اللهَ تَعَالَى، فَرُبَّمَا أَتَى عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الشَّهْرُ يَظَلُّ يَتَلَوَّى مَا يَشْبَعُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ
✧ He heard al-Nu'man b. Bashir delivering a sermon, saying: I praise God Almighty. There would come upon the Messenger of God ﷺ a month in which he would remain tossing and turning, not having his fill of low-grade dates.
Musnad Ahmad 18358Sahih
ذَهَبَ أَبِي بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِيُشْهِدَهُ عَلَى نُحْلٍ نَحَلَنِيهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَكُلَّ بَنِيكَ نَحَلْتَ مِثْلَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَارْجِعْهَا
✧ My father, Bashir b. Sa'd, went to the Messenger of God ﷺ to have him witness a gift he had given me. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Have you given all your sons the like of this?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then take it back.'

انْطَلَقَ بِي أَبِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ - يَعْنِي يُشْهِدُهُ عَلَى عَطِيَّةٍ يُعْطِينِيهَا -، فَقَالَ: هَلْ لَكَ وَلَدٌ غَيْرُهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَسَوِّ بَيْنَهُمْ
✧ My father took me to the Messenger of God ﷺ—meaning to have him witness a gift he was giving me—and he said: 'Do you have any child other than him?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then treat them equally.'
Musnad Ahmad 18360Hasan
سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ يَخْطُبُ وَعَلَيْهِ خَمِيصَةٌ لَهُ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: أَنْذَرْتُكُمُ النَّارَ، فَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَوْضِعَ كَذَا وَكَذَا سَمِعَ صَوْتَهُ
✧ I heard al-Nu'man delivering a sermon while wearing a cloak of his, and he said: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ delivering a sermon, saying: 'I warn you of the Fire. If a man were at such-and-such a place, he would hear his voice.'
Musnad Ahmad 18361Sahih
مَثَلُ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى حُدُودِ اللهِ وَالْمُدْهِنِ فِيهَا كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ اسْتَهَمُوا عَلَى سَفِينَةٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ، فَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَسْفَلَهَا، وَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَعْلَاهَا، فَكَانَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا يَصْعَدُونَ فَيَسْتَقُونَ الْمَاءَ، فَيَصُبُّونَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ فِي أَعْلَاهَا، فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَعْلَاهَا: لَا نَدَعُكُمْ تَصْعَدُونَ فَتُؤْذُونَنَا. فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا: فَإِنَّنَا نَنْقُبُهَا مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا فَنَسْتَقِي. قَالَ: فَإِنْ أَخَذُوا عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ فَمَنَعُوهُمْ نَجَوْا جَمِيعًا، وَإِنْ تَرَكُوهُمْ غَرِقُوا جَمِيعًا
✧ The likeness of the one who upholds God's limits and the one who flatters regarding them is like a group of people who drew lots for places on a ship at sea. Some of them got its lower deck, and some got its upper deck. Those in the lower deck would climb up to draw water and pour it on those in the upper deck. Those in the upper deck said: 'We will not let you climb up and disturb us.' Those in the lower deck said: 'We will bore a hole in it from below and draw water.' He said: If they seize their hands and prevent them, they all survive; but if they leave them, they all drown.
Musnad Ahmad 18362Sahih

✧ Those who remember Allah—from glorifying Him, praising Him, magnifying Him, and declaring His oneness—circle around the Throne, making a buzzing sound like the buzzing of bees. They mention their companion. Would not any of you love to have something with Allah that keeps remembering him?
Musnad Ahmad 18363Sahih
سَأَلَتْ أُمِّي أَبِي بَعْضَ الْمَوْهِبَةِ لِي فَوَهَبَهَا لِي فَقَالَتْ: لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تُشْهِدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: فَأَخَذَ أَبِي بِيَدِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ، وَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أُمَّ هَذَا ابْنَةَ رَوَاحَةَ زَاوَلَتْنِي عَلَى بَعْضِ الْمَوْهِبَةِ لَهُ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُهَا لَهُ، وَقَدْ أَعْجَبَهَا أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ قَالَ: يَا بَشِيرُ، أَلَكَ ابْنٌ غَيْرُ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَوَهَبْتَ لَهُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي وَهَبْتَ لِهَذَا ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَلَا تُشْهِدْنِي إِذًا، فَإِنِّي لَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى جَوْرٍ
✧ My mother asked my father for some gift for me, so he gave it to me. She said, 'I will not be satisfied until you call the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a witness.'

She liked me to call you as a witness.' He said, 'O Bashir, do you have a son other than this one?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Did you give him the like of what you gave this one?' He said, 'No.' He said, 'Then do not call me as a witness, for I do not testify to injustice.'
Musnad Ahmad 18364Sahih
إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ، أَوِ الصُّفُوفِ الْأُولَى.

انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ، فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَسْأَلُ، وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رِجَالًا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ إِذَا انْكَسَفَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكَسِفُ لِمَوْتِ عَظِيمٍ مِنَ الْعُظَمَاءِ، وَلَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمَا خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَإِذَا تَجَلَّى اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ خَشَعَ لَهُ
✧ The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He went out and prayed two rak'ahs and supplicated, then prayed two rak'ahs and supplicated until the eclipse cleared. Then he said: 'Some men claim that when the sun or the moon eclipses, it only eclipses because of the death of a great person among the great ones. It is not so. Rather they are two creations among Allah's creations (Mighty and Majestic). When Allah (Mighty and Majestic) manifests Himself to something of His creation, it humbles itself to Him.'

✧ I was beside the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man said, 'I do not care if I do not do any deed after Islam except giving water to the pilgrims.' Another said, 'I do not care if I do not do any deed after Islam except maintaining the Sacred Mosque.' Another said, 'Jihad in the path of Allah is better than what you said.' Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ rebuked them and said, 'Do not raise your voices near the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it is Friday. But when I finish the Friday prayer, I will enter and ask him about what you differed in.' Then Allah revealed: 'Have you made the providing of water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque equal to one who believes in Allah and the Last Day...' to the end of the verse, all of it.

✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—and he pointed with his two fingers to his ears—saying: 'The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear. Between the lawful and the unlawful are doubtful matters which many people do not know whether they are lawful or unlawful. Whoever avoids them clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor. Whoever falls into them is likely to fall into the unlawful. Whoever grazes near a sanctuary is likely to graze in it. Every king has a sanctuary, and Allah's sanctuary is His prohibitions.'

Some of them got the lower part, which was rough and bad, and some got the upper part. When those in the lower part needed water, they passed by those above them and annoyed them. They said, "If we made a hole in our share and drew water from it, we would not annoy those above us." If they left them and their affair, they would all perish. But if they seized their hands, they would all be saved.'

إِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشَبَّهَاتٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الشُّبُهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ فِيهِ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ، وَمَنْ وَاقَعَهَا وَاقَعَ الْحَرَامَ، كَالرَّاعِي يَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْحِمَى، يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَرْتَعَ فِيهِ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى، وَإِنَّ حِمَى اللهِ مَا حَرَّمَ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِي الْإِنْسَانِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ
✧ Indeed, the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters that many people do not know. So whoever guards against doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, and whoever falls into doubtful matters falls into the unlawful, like a shepherd grazing around a sanctuary, all but grazing in it. Truly, every king has a sanctuary, and God's sanctuary is what He has forbidden. Truly, in the body there is a lump of flesh: if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart.
Musnad Ahmad 18375Sahih
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَثَلُالْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said: "The likeness of the believers..." — and he mentioned the hadith.
Musnad Ahmad 18376Hasan
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُسَوِّي بَيْنَ الصُّفُوفِ كَمَا تُسَوَّى الْقِدَاحُ أَوِ الرِّمَاحُ

✧ I am the most knowledgeable of people — or among the most knowledgeable of people — about the time of the Messenger of God's ﷺ night prayer ('isha'). He used to pray it after the setting of the moon on the third night from the beginning of the month.
Musnad Ahmad 18378Sahih
نَحَلَنِي أَبِي نُحْلًا. قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْقَوْمِ: نَحَلَهُ غُلَامًا، قَالَ: فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمِّي عَمْرَةُ بِنْتُ رَوَاحَةَ: ائْتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَشْهِدْهُ. قَالَ: فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي نَحَلْتُ ابْنِي النُّعْمَانَ نُحْلًا، وَإِنَّ عَمْرَةَ سَأَلَتْنِي أَنْ أُشْهِدَكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ. فَقَالَ: أَلَكَ وَلَدٌ سِوَاهُ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَكُلَّهُمْ أَعْطَيْتَ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَ النُّعْمَانَ ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا. فَقَالَ بَعْضُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُحَدِّثِينَ: هَذَا جَوْرٌ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: هَذَا تَلْجِئَةٌ فَأَشْهِدْ عَلَى هَذَا غَيْرِي. وَقَالَ مُغِيرَةُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: أَلَيْسَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا لَكَ فِي الْبِرِّ وَاللُّطْفِ سَوَاءً ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَأَشْهِدْ عَلَى هَذَا غَيْرِي. وَذَكَرَ مُجَالِدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَنْ تَعْدِلَ بَيْنَهُمْ، كَمَا أَنَّ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَنْ يَبَرُّوكَ.
✧ My father gave me a gift. Isma'il b. Salim said: from among the people, he gave him a slave boy. He said: So my mother 'Amrah bt. Rawahah said to him: 'Go to the Prophet ﷺ and have him witness it.' He said: So he came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him, saying: 'I have given my son al-Nu'man a gift, and 'Amrah asked me to have you witness that.' He said: 'Do you have any other children besides him?' He said: I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Have you given all of them the like of what you gave al-Nu'man?' He said: 'No.' Then some of these narrators said: 'This is injustice,' and others said: 'This is compulsion. Have someone other than me witness this.' Mughirah said in his hadith: 'Would it not please you that they be equal to you in piety and kindness?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then have someone other than me witness this.' Mujalid mentioned in his hadith: 'They have a right over you that you treat them justly, just as you have a right over them that they honor you.'
Musnad Ahmad 18379Sahih
مَثَلُ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى حُدُودِ اللهِ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] وَالرَّاتِعِ فِيهَا وَالْمُدْهِنِ فِيهَا، مَثَلُ قَوْمٍ اسْتَهَمُوا عَلَى سَفِينَةٍ فَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَعْلَاهَا وَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَسْفَلَهَا وَأَوْعَرَهَا، [فَإِذَا الَّذِينَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا اسْتَقَوْا] مِنَ الْمَاءِ مَرُّوا عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَآذَوْهُمْ، فَقَالُوا: لَوْ أَنَّا خَرَقْنَا فِي نَصِيبِنَا خَرْقًا فَاسْتَقَيْنَا مِنْهُ، وَلَمْ نَمُرَّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِنَا فَنُؤْذِيَهُمْ، فَإِنْ تَرَكُوهُمْ وَمَا أَرَادُوا هَلَكُوا، وَإِنْ أَخَذُوا عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ نَجَوْا جَمِيعًا
✧ The likeness of the one who upholds the limits of God [Mighty and Majestic], the one who transgresses them, and the one who is negligent of them is like a people who drew lots for places on a ship: some of them got the upper deck and some got the lower, most uncomfortable part. [Whenever those in the lower part needed water], they had to go up to their companions and disturb them. They said: 'If we were to make a hole in our share and draw water from it, we would not have to pass by our companions and disturb them.' If they are left to what they want, they will all perish, but if they seize their hands, they will all be saved.
Musnad Ahmad 18380Sahih
مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ، إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى

✧ Al-Dahhak b. Qays asked al-Nu'man b. Bashir: 'What did the Prophet ﷺ recite on Friday along with Surat al-Jumu'ah?' He said: 'Has the account of the Overwhelming (al-Ghashiyah) reached you?'
Musnad Ahmad 18382Sahih
نَحَلَنِي أَبِي غُلَامًا، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِأُشْهِدَهُ فَقَالَ: أَكُلَّ وَلَدِكَ قَدْ نَحَلْتَ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: فَارْدُدْهُ
✧ My father gave me a slave boy, so I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ to have him witness it. He said: 'Have you given a gift to all your children?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Then take it back.'
Musnad Ahmad 18383Sahih
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَرَأَ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ بِـ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَ هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ، وَإِنْ وَافَقَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَرَأَهُمَا جَمِيعًا

✧ The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters. Whoever leaves what is doubtful to him of sin is more likely to leave what is clear to him, and whoever dares to do what he doubts may soon fall into the unlawful. Truly, every king has a sanctuary, and God's sanctuary on earth is His acts of disobedience — or he said: His prohibitions.

✧ Indeed, [those who remember] from the majesty of Allah [Mighty and Majestic], His glorification, His praise, and His declaring of His oneness, hover around the Throne; they have a hum like the hum of bees, mentioning the one who uttered them. Would not one of you love that there remain for him with Allah [Mighty and Majestic] something that remembers him?
Musnad Ahmad 18389Sahih
لَتُسَوُّنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ، أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللهُ بَيْنَ وُجُوهِكُمْ

So he gave him permission, and he entered and said: “O daughter of Umm Ruman!” and he reached for her, “Will you raise your voice at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?!” He said: The Prophet ﷺ came between him and her. He said: When Abu Bakr went out, the Prophet ﷺ began saying to her, appeasing her: “Do you not see that I came between the man and you?” He said: Then Abu Bakr came and sought permission to enter upon him, and found him laughing with her. He said: So he gave him permission, and he entered. Abu Bakr said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, include me in your peace as you included me in your war.”

A man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, and a believer in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning. Some people will sell their faith for a meager portion of this world, or for worldly goods. Al-Hasan said: 'By Allah, we have seen them: forms without minds, bodies without forbearance, moths of the fire and flies of greed, going out in the morning for two dirhams and returning in the evening for two dirhams.

We were sitting in the mosque with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Bashir was a man who rarely spoke. Abu Thalabah al-Khushani came and said, "O Bashir bin Sād, do you preserve the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding the rulers?" Huzayfah replied, "I preserve his sermon." Abu Thalabah sat down and Huzayfah said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Prophethood will remain among you as long as Allah wills. Then, Allah will raise it up when He wills. Then, there will be Khilafah on the Prophetic method, and it will remain as long as Allah wills. Then, Allah will raise it up when He wills. Then, there will be a biting monarchy, and it will remain as long as Allah wills. Then, Allah will raise it up when He wills. Then, there will be a tyrannical rule, and it will remain as long as Allah wills. Then, Allah will raise it up when He wills. Then, there will be Khilafah on the Prophetic method.

✧ A man traveled through a desolate land—Hasan said in his narration: meaning a wilderness—and he stopped under a tree, with his riding camel carrying his water-skin and food. Then he woke up and did not see it. He climbed a high place and did not see it, then climbed another high place and did not see it. Then he turned around and suddenly it was dragging its halter. He was not more joyful at finding it than Allah is at the repentance of His servant when he repents.

✧ The example of the one who flatters and the one who falls into the limits of Allah—Sufyan once said: the one who stands in the limits of Allah—is like three people who boarded a ship. One of them ended up in its lower, roughest, and worst part. He kept going back and forth, and it became burdensome for them every time he passed. He said: 'I will make a hole that will be easier for me, and my passing will not bother them.' Some of them said: 'He is only making a hole in his own share.' Others said: 'No. If they restrain him, he will be saved and they will be saved; but if they leave him, he will perish and they will perish.'

✧ Indeed, three men were in a cave when a rock fell and blocked the cave's entrance, sealing them in. One of them said, 'Remember any good deed you have done; perhaps Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will have mercy on us out of His mercy.' So one of them said, 'I once did a good deed. I had workers who worked for me, and my laborers came to me, and I hired each man for a known wage. Then one day a man came to me in the middle of the day, and I hired him on the same terms as his companions. He worked for the rest of his day as each of them had worked for his entire day. I saw it as my duty not to reduce his pay compared to what I had hired his companions for, because of his effort in his work. One of them said, "Will you give this man the same as you gave me, when he only worked half a day?!" I said, "O servant of Allah, I have not cheated you of anything from your agreement; it is my wealth, and I may dispose of it as I wish." He became angry, left, and abandoned his wages. So I set aside his due in a corner of the house for as long as Allah willed. Then after that some cattle passed by me, and I bought with it a young she-camel from the cattle. It grew as Allah willed. After a while an old man, weak and whom I did not recognize, passed by me and said, "I have a right with you." He reminded me until I recognized him, and I said, "It is you I seek; this is your right." I presented the entire herd to him. He said, "O servant of Allah, do not mock me. If you are not giving me charity, then give me my due." I said, "By Allah, I am not mocking you. It is your right; I have nothing of it." So I handed it all over to him. O Allah, if I did that seeking Your Face, then relieve us.' He said, 'The mountain split open until they saw through it and could see.' The second said, 'I once did a good deed. I had surplus wealth, and a severe hardship befell the people. A woman came to me seeking charity. I said, "By Allah, it is not without your soul (i.e., you must give yourself to me)." She refused and left, then came back and adjured me by Allah, but I refused her and said, "No, by Allah, it is not without your soul." She refused and left, and mentioned it to her husband. He said to her, "Give him yourself and enrich your family." She returned to me and adjured me by Allah, but I refused her and said, "By Allah, it is not without your soul." When she saw that, she surrendered herself to me. When I uncovered her and intended to have intercourse with her, she trembled beneath me. I said to her, "What is the matter with you?" She said, "I fear Allah, Lord of the worlds." I said to her, "You feared Him in hardship, and I did not fear Him in ease." So I left her and gave her what was due to me for having uncovered her. O Allah, if I did that seeking Your Face, then relieve us.' He said, 'It split until they recognized and it became clear to them.' The third said, 'I once did a good deed. I had elderly parents, and I had sheep. I used to feed my parents and give them drink, then return to my sheep. One day a rainstorm detained me, and I did not leave until evening. I came to my family, took my milking vessel, and milked while my sheep were standing. I went to my parents and found them asleep. It was hard for me to wake them and hard for me to leave my sheep. I remained sitting with my milking vessel in my hands until dawn woke them, and I gave them to drink. O Allah, if I did that seeking Your Face, then relieve us.' Al-Nu'man said: It is as if I hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: He said, 'The mountain gaped open,' and Allah relieved them, so they came out.

✧ The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are matters that are doubtful. Whoever abandons what is doubtful to him of sin or of the matter, then he is more likely to abandon what is clear to him; and whoever dares upon what he doubts is on the verge of falling into what is clear. And whoever grazes around the sanctuary is on the verge of falling into it.

That is a difficulty and a cause of his destruction.' They asked, 'What is the best thing given to people, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'Good character.'"

Musnad Ahmad 18459Hasan
قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَعَانِي إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَدَخَلْتُ فِيهِ، وَأَقْرَرْتُ بِهِ، فَدَعَانِي إِلَى الزَّكَاةِ، فَأَقْرَرْتُ بِهَا، وَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرْجِعُ إِلَى قَوْمِي فَأَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَدَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ، فَمَنِ اسْتَجَابَ لِي جَمَعْتُ زَكَاتَهُ فَيُرْسِلُ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَسُولًا لِإِبَّانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، لِيَأْتِيَكَ مَا جَمَعْتُ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ، فَلَمَّا جَمَعَ الْحَارِثُ الزَّكَاةَ مِمَّنِ اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ، وَبَلَغَ الْإِبَّانَ الَّذِي أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُبْعَثَ إِلَيْهِ احْتَبَسَ عَلَيْهِ الرَّسُولُ، فَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ فَظَنَّ الْحَارِثُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَدَثَ فِيهِ سَخْطَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولِهِ فَدَعَا بِسَرَوَاتِ قَوْمِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ وَقَّتَ لِي وَقْتًا يُرْسِلُ إِلَيَّ رَسُولَهُ لِيَقْبِضَ مَا كَانَ عِنْدِي مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ، وَلَيْسَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْخُلْفُ، وَلَا أَرَى حَبْسَ رَسُولِهِ إِلَّا مِنْ سَخْطَةٍ كَانَتْ، فَانْطَلِقُوا فَنَأْتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، وَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ إِلَى الْحَارِثِ، لِيَقْبِضَ مَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِمَّا جَمَعَ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ سَارَ الْوَلِيدُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ بَعْضَ الطَّرِيقِ فَرِقَ فَرَجَعَ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الْحَارِثَ مَنَعَنِي الزَّكَاةَ، وَأَرَادَ قَتْلِي فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْبَعْثَ إِلَى الْحَارِثِ فَأَقْبَلَ الْحَارِثُ بِأَصْحَابِهِ إِذِ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْبَعْثَ، وَفَصَلَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَقِيَهُمُ الْحَارِثُ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا الْحَارِثُ. فَلَمَّا غَشِيَهُمْ قَالَ لَهُمْ: إِلَى مَنْ بُعِثْتُمْ ؟ قَالُوا: إِلَيْكَ. قَالَ: وَلِمَ ؟ ! قَالُوا: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْكَ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ، فَزَعَمَ أَنَّكَ مَنَعْتَهُ الزَّكَاةَ، وَأَرَدْتَ قَتْلَهُ! قَالَ: لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَ مُحَمَّدًا بِالْحَقِّ، مَا رَأَيْتُهُ بَتَّةً، وَلَا أَتَانِي! فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْحَارِثُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: مَنَعْتَ الزَّكَاةَ، وَأَرَدْتَ قَتْلَ رَسُولِي ؟ ! قَالَ: لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ، وَلَا أَتَانِي، وَمَا أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَّا حِينَ احْتَبَسَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ كَانَتْ سَخْطَةً مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولِهِ. قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتِ الْحُجُرَاتُ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَكَانِ فَضْلا مِنَ اللهِ وَنِعْمَةً وَاللهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ.
✧ I came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and he called me to Islam, so I entered it and affirmed it. Then he called me to give zakat, and I affirmed it. I said, 'O Messenger of God, shall I return to my people and call them to Islam and to paying zakat? Whoever responds to me, I will collect his zakat, and the Messenger of God ﷺ will send me a messenger at such-and-such a time to bring you what I have collected of zakat.' When al-Harith had collected the zakat from those who responded to him and the time at which the Messenger of God ﷺ wanted to send to him arrived, the messenger was delayed from him and did not come. Al-Harith thought that an anger from God, Mighty and Majestic, and His Messenger had occurred. So he summoned the nobles of his people and said to them, 'The Messenger of God ﷺ had set a time for me to send his messenger to collect the zakat I had. There is no backsliding with the Messenger of God ﷺ, and I see no reason for holding back his messenger except because of some anger that occurred. So let us go and come to the Messenger of God ﷺ.' Meanwhile, the Messenger of God ﷺ sent al-Walid b. 'Uqbah to al-Harith to collect the zakat he had gathered. When al-Walid had traveled part of the way, he became afraid and returned. He came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of God, al-Harith prevented me from taking the zakat and wanted to kill me.' So the Messenger of God ﷺ dispatched an expedition against al-Harith. Al-Harith approached with his companions when the expedition met him and departed from Madinah. Al-Harith met them, and they said, 'This is al-Harith.' When he came upon them, he said, 'To whom have you been sent?' They said, 'To you.' He said, 'Why?' They said, 'The Messenger of God ﷺ had sent al-Walid b. 'Uqbah to you, and he claimed that you prevented him from taking the zakat and wanted to kill him!' He said, 'No, by the One who sent Muhammad with the truth, I never saw him at all, nor did he come to me!' When al-Harith entered upon the Messenger of God ﷺ, he said, 'Did you prevent the zakat and try to kill my messenger?!' He said, 'No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I did not see him and he did not come to me, and I only came when the messenger of the Messenger of God ﷺ was delayed from me, fearing that there might have been anger from God, Mighty and Majestic, and His Messenger.' He said, 'Then al-Hujurat was revealed: "O you who believe, if a wicked person comes to you with news, verify it, lest you harm a people in ignorance and become regretful over what you have done" up to this point, as a bounty from God and a favor, and God is all-knowing, all-wise.'

Then they asked him and he said, 'I will state my opinion about it. If it is wrong, it is from me and from Satan; if it is right, it is from God. She is entitled to a dower like that of one of her peers, and she inherits, and she must observe the waiting period.' A man from Ashja' stood up and said, 'I bear witness that you have judged in it with the same judgment as the Messenger of God ﷺ in the case of Barwa' bint Washiq.' He said, 'Bring your witnesses.'

✧ I said to al-Bara, 'A man who charges against the polytheists—is he one of those who throw themselves into destruction with their own hands?' He said, 'No, because God, Mighty and Majestic, sent His Messenger ﷺ and said, "So fight in the way of God; you are not held responsible except for yourself" (Quran 4:84). That refers only to spending.'
Musnad Ahmad 18478Sahih
قِيلَ لِلْبَرَاءِ: أَكَانَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيدًا هَكَذَا مِثْلَ السَّيْفِ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، بَلْ كَانَ مِثْلَ الْقَمَرِ

He said, 'Do you not know that I have more authority over every believer than his own self?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, then took Ali by the hand and said, '[O God,] whoever I am his mawla, Ali is his mawla. O God, befriend whoever befriends him, and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him.' He said, 'Umar met him after that and said to him, "Congratulations, O son of Abu Talib, you have become and remained the mawla of every believing man and woman."'

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ gave us a sermon and said: The first thing we begin with on this day of ours is to pray, then return and slaughter. Whoever does that has hit upon our sunna, and whoever slaughters before that, it is only meat he has offered his family, not part of the sacrifice in any way. He said: My maternal uncle Abu Burda b. Niyar slaughtered. He said: O Messenger of God, I have slaughtered, and I have a jadha'a that is better than a musinna. He said: Put it in its place, [and it will not suffice] – or be fulfilled – for anyone after you.

He praised God and extolled Him, commanded them and forbade them, and said: Whoever among you has hurried a slaughter, it is only meat he has fed his family; slaughter is after the prayer. My maternal uncle Abu Burda b. Niyar stood up to him and said: I hurried the slaughter of my sheep, O Messenger of God, so that food might be prepared for us to gather over when we return, and I have a jadha'a of goats that is more ample than what I slaughtered. Will it suffice for me, O Messenger of God? He said: Yes, and it will not suffice for anyone after you. He said: Then he said: O Bilal.

✧ A Jew who had been blackened with charcoal and flogged was brought past the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He called them and said: Do you find the punishment of the adulterer in your Book like this? They said: Yes. He said: He called one of their scholars and said: I adjure you by Allah, who sent down the Torah upon Moses: do you find the punishment of the adulterer in your Book like this? The man said: No, by Allah. Were it not that you adjured me by this, I would not have informed you. We find the punishment of the adulterer in our Book to be stoning, but it became frequent among our nobles. When we seized a noble, we let him go, and when we seized a weak person, we carried out the punishment on him. So we said: Come, let us agree on something we can apply to noble and lowly alike. We agreed on blackening with charcoal and flogging. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: O Allah, I am the first to revive Your command when they killed it. He said: He ordered him, and he was stoned. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sent down: 'O Messenger, let not those who hasten into disbelief grieve you' up to His saying: 'They say: If you are given this, take it.' They say: Go to Muhammad; if he gives you a ruling of blackening and flogging, accept it, and if he gives you a ruling of stoning, beware. Up to His saying: 'And whoever does not judge by what Allah has sent down—those are the disbelievers.' He said regarding the Jews, up to His saying: 'And whoever does not judge by what Allah has sent down—those are the wrongdoers,' and 'And whoever does not judge by what Allah has sent down—those are the defiantly disobedient.' He said: These verses are all about the disbelievers.

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي يَوْمِ نَحْرٍ فَقَالَ: لَا يَذْبَحَنَّ أَحَدٌ حَتَّى نُصَلِّيَ فَقَامَ خَالِي فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا يَوْمٌ اللَّحْمُ فِيهِ مَكْرُوهٌ، وَإِنِّي عَجَّلْتُ، وَإِنِّي ذَبَحْتُ نَسِيكَتِي لِأُطْعِمَ أَهْلِي وَأَهْلَ دَارِي - أَوْ أَهْلِي وَجِيرَانِي - فَقَالَ: قَدْ فَعَلْتَ، فَأَعِدْ ذَبْحًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عِنْدِي عَنَاقُ لَبَنٍ، هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ شَاتَيْ لَحْمٍ، أَفَأَذْبَحُهَا ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَهِيَ خَيْرُ نَسِيكَتَيْكَ، وَلَا تَقْضِي جَذَعَةٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ

Shall I slaughter it?” He said: “Yes, and it is the better of your two sacrifices, and a jadhaʿah will not suffice for anyone after you.”

We went out with the Prophet ﷺ for the funeral of a man from the Ansar. When we arrived at the grave and it had not yet been dug, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat down, and we sat around him as if birds were on our heads (in silence and stillness). In his hand, he had a stick with which he was striking the ground. Then he raised his head and said twice or thrice, "Seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave." Then he said, "When the believing servant is about to depart from this world and head towards the Hereafter, angels from the heavens descend upon him, their faces as bright as the sun, bringing shrouds from Paradise and fragrance from Paradise. They sit at a distance that the eye can see. Then the Angel of Death, ﷺ, comes and sits by his head and says, 'O good soul, come out to forgiveness and pleasure from Allah.’ It comes out as gently as a drop flows from a water-skin, and the Angel of Death takes it. When he takes it, they (the angels) do not leave it in his hand even for the twinkling of an eye; they take it and place it in that shroud and that fragrance. From it emanates a fragrance like the sweetest scent of musk ever found on the face of the earth. Then they ascend with it. They do not pass by a group of angels but they say, 'What is this good soul?’ They reply, 'It is so-and-so, the son of so-and-so,' using the best names by which people called him in this world, until they reach the first heaven. They ask for it to be opened, and it is opened for them. The closest angels from each heaven accompany him to the next heaven until they reach the seventh heaven. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says, 'Record the book of My servant in Illiyyin (the highest heaven) and return him to the earth, for I have created them from it and return them into it, and from it, I will bring them forth once again.' His soul is then returned to his body, and two angels come to him, make him sit up and ask him, 'Who is your Lord?' He replies, 'My Lord is Allah.’ They then ask, 'What is your religion?' He replies, 'My religion is Islam.’ They further ask, 'Who is this man who was sent among you?' He says, 'He is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.’ They will ask him, 'What is your knowledge?' He replies, 'I read the Book of Allah, believed in it, and accepted it as true.’ Then a voice calls from the heaven, saying, 'My servant has spoken the truth. Furnish him from Paradise and clothe him from Paradise, and open a door for him to Paradise.' Then he is provided with some of its fragrance and pleasant smell, and his grave is made wide, as far as the eye can see. Then a man with a handsome face, beautiful clothing, and a good scent comes to him and says, 'Rejoice with what pleases you, for this is your day which you were promised.’ He asks, 'Who are you? Your face is one that brings good.’ He replies, 'I am your righteous deeds.’ Then he says, 'O Lord, establish the Hour so that I may return to my family and my wealth.' When the disbelieving servant is about to depart from this world and head towards the Hereafter, angels descend upon him from the heavens. Their faces are dark, and they bring sackcloth. They sit at a distance that the eye can see. Then the Angel of Death comes and sits by his head and says, 'O foul soul, come out to the displeasure and wrath of Allah.’ It recoils within his body, and he drags it out like a skewer being pulled from wet wool. When he takes it, they do not let it stay in his hand even for the twinkling of an eye; they take it and place it in that sackcloth. From it emanates a stench like the foulest stench of a dead body ever found on the face of the earth. Then they ascend with it. They do not pass by a group of angels but they say, 'What is this foul soul?' They reply, 'It is so-and-so, the son of so-and-so,' using the worst names by which people called him in this world, until they reach the first heaven. They ask for it to be opened, but it is not opened for them." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: 'The gates of heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel can pass through the eye of a needle.' (7:40) Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says, 'Record his book in Sijjin (in the lowest earth) and return him to the earth, for I have created them from it and return them into it, and from it, I will bring them forth once again.' His soul is then cast down.” Then the Messenger of Allah recited: 'And whoever ascribes partners to Allah, it is as though he had fallen from the sky and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had blown him to a far-off place.' (22:31) His soul is then returned to his body, and two angels come and make him sit up and ask him, 'Who is your Lord?' He replies, 'Alas, alas, I do not know.’ They ask, 'What is your religion?' He replies, 'Alas, alas, I do not know.’ They ask, 'Who is this man who was sent among you?' He replies, 'Alas, alas, I do not know.' Then a voice calls from the heaven, saying, 'He has lied, so furnish him from Hellfire and open a door for him to Hell.' Then some of its heat and hot wind comes to him, and his grave is made narrow, so much so that his ribs are crushed together. Then a man with an ugly face, ugly clothing, and a foul smell comes to him and says, 'Rejoice with what displeases you, for this is your day which you were promised.’ He asks, 'Who are you? Your face is one that brings evil.’ He replies, 'I am your evil deeds.’ Then he says, 'O Lord, do not establish the Hour.’"

✧ “Gather together, so that I may show you how the Messenger of God ﷺ used to perform ablution and how he used to pray, for I do not know how much longer my companionship with you will last.” He said: So he gathered his sons and his family and called for water for ablution. He rinsed his mouth, sniffed water into his nose and blew it out, washed his face three times, washed his right hand three times, washed this hand of his three times—meaning the left—then wiped his head and his ears, their outer and inner parts, and washed this foot—meaning the right—three times, and washed this foot three times—meaning the left. He said: “Thus I have not failed to show you how the Messenger of God ﷺ used to perform ablution.” Then he entered his house and prayed a prayer which we do not know what it was. Then he came out and ordered the prayer, so the iqāmah was given, and he led us in the noon prayer. I think I heard from him some verses of Yā Sīn. Then he prayed the afternoon prayer, then he led us in the sunset prayer, then he led us in the night prayer, and he said: “I have not failed to show you how the Messenger of God ﷺ used to perform ablution and how he used to pray.”
