مَنْ حَفِظَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ عُصِمَ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ
If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surah al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal. (Using translation from Muslim 809a)
ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِكَبْشَيْنِ جَذَعَيْنِ مَوْجِيَّيْنِ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed two young, horned rams.
ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِكَبْشَيْنِ جَذَعَيْنِ خَصِيَّيْنِ
✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ sacrificed two young, castrated rams.
Musnad Ahmad 21715Hasan
قَدِمَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَهُوَ بِدِمَشْقَ فَقَالَ: مَا أَقْدَمَكَ، أَيْ أَخِي ؟ قَالَ: حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُحَدِّثُ بِهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: أَمَا قَدِمْتَ لِتِجَارَةٍ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: أَمَا قَدِمْتَ لِحَاجَةٍ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: أَمَا قَدِمْتَ إِلَّا فِي طَلَبِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَطْلُبُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا، سَلَكَ اللهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا رِضًا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لِلْعَالِمِ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، حَتَّى الْحِيتَانُ فِي الْمَاءِ، وَفَضْلُ الْعَالِمِ عَلَى الْعَابِدِ كَفَضْلِ الْقَمَرِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْكَوَاكِبِ، إِنَّ الْعُلَمَاءَ هُمْ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، لَمْ يُوَرِّثُوا دِينَارًا وَلَا دِرْهَمًا، وَإِنَّمَا وَرَّثُوا الْعِلْمَ، فَمَنْ أَخَذَ بِهِ أَخَذَ بِحَظٍّ وَافِرٍ.
✧ A man from Madinah came to Abu al-Darda while he was in Damascus and said: What brought you here, my brother? He replied: A hadith reached me that you narrate from the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: Did you come for trade? He said: No. He said: Did you come for some need? He said: No. He said: Did you come only in search of this hadith? He said: Yes. He said: Indeed, I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: Whoever travels a path seeking knowledge therein, God makes a path to Paradise easy for him. Indeed, the angels lower their wings in approval of the seeker of knowledge. Indeed, all who are in the heavens and the earth seek forgiveness for the scholar, even the fish in the water. The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like the superiority of the moon over all other heavenly bodies. Indeed, the scholars are the heirs of the prophets; they did not leave behind dinars or dirhams, but they left behind knowledge, and whoever takes of it has taken an abundant share.
Musnad Ahmad 21716Hasan
أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ. فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ

Musnad Ahmad 21717Hasan
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَمَرَتْهُ أُمُّهُ أَوْ أَبُوهُ أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُطَلِّقَ امْرَأَتَهُ، فَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِ مِائَةَ مُحَرَّرٍ، فَأَتَى أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَإِذَا هُوَ يُصَلِّي الضُّحَى يُطِيلُهَا، وَصَلَّى مَا بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: أَوْفِ نَذْرَكَ وَبَرَّ وَالِدَيْكَ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: الْوَالِدُ أَوْسَطُ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَحَافِظْ عَلَى الْوَالِدِ أَوِ اتْرُكْ
✧ A man whose mother or father — or both, Shu'ba said: he says that — ordered him to divorce his wife, so he imposed upon himself the freeing of one hundred slaves. He came to Abu al-Darda while he was praying the forenoon prayer, prolonging it, and he prayed what was between noon and afternoon. He asked him, and Abu al-Darda said to him: Fulfill your vow and honor your parents. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: The parent is the middle gate of Paradise, so safeguard the parent or leave it.
أَوْصَى رَجُلٌ بِدَنَانِيرَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَسُئِلَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَحَدَّثَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ - أَوْ يَتَصَدَّقُ - عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ، مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُهْدِي بَعْدَمَا يَشْبَعُ
✧ A man bequeathed dinars in the way of God, and Abu al-Darda was asked, so he narrated from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: The likeness of one who frees a slave — or gives charity — at his death is the likeness of one who gives a gift after he is full.
أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ أَخِي بِطَائِفَةٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ، قَالَ: فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أَخِي أَوْصَانِي بِطَائِفَةٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ، فَأَيْنَ أَضَعُهُ ؟ فِي الْفُقَرَاءِ، أَوْ فِي الْمُجَاهِدِينَ، أَوْ فِي الْمَسَاكِينِ ؟ قَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَوْ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَعْدِلْ بِالْمُجَاهِدِينَ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُهْدِي إِذَا شَبِعَ.
✧ My brother bequeathed to me a portion of his wealth. I met Abu al-Darda and said: My brother bequeathed to me a portion of his wealth; where should I put it — among the poor, the fighters in the way of God, or the needy? He said: As for me, if it were up to me, I would not prefer anyone over the fighters in the way of God. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: The likeness of one who frees a slave at death is the likeness of one who gives a gift when he is full.
Musnad Ahmad 21720Sahih
أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قِرَاءَةٌ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ: وَجَبَتْ هَذِهِ
✧ A man said: O Messenger of God, is there recitation in every prayer? He said: Yes. A man from the Ansar said: This has become obligatory.

✧ The sun never rises but that two angels are sent on its two sides, calling out, making it heard by the people of the earth except the two weighty ones (jinn and mankind): O people, come to your Lord, for what is little and sufficient is better than what is abundant and distracting. And the sun never sets but that two angels are sent on its two sides, calling out, making it heard by the people of the earth except the two weighty ones: O God, give the one who spends a replacement, and give the one who withholds ruin.

أَنَّهُ زَارَ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ بِحِمْصَ، فَمَكَثَ عِنْدَهُ لَيَالِيَ، فَأَمَرَ بِحِمَارِهِ فَأُوكِفَ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: مَا أَرَانِي إِلَّا مُتَّبِعَكَ. فَأَمَرَ بِحِمَارِهِ فَأُسْرِجَ، فَسَارَا جَمِيعًا عَلَى حِمَارَيْهِمَا، فَلَقِيَا رَجُلًا شَهِدَ الْجُمُعَةَ بِالْأَمْسِ عِنْدَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالْجَابِيَةِ، فَعَرَفَهُمَا الرَّجُلُ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفَاهُ، فَأَخْبَرَهُمَا خَبَرَ النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ قَالَ: وَخَبَرٌ آخَرُ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُخْبِرَكُمَا أُرَاكُمَا تَكْرَهَانِهِ. فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: فَلَعَلَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ نُفِيَ. قَالَ: نَعَمْ وَاللهِ. فَاسْتَرْجَعَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ وَصَاحِبُهُ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ عَشْرِ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: ارْتَقِبْهُمْ وَاصْطَبِرْ كَمَا قِيلَ لِأَصْحَابِ النَّاقَةِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَذَّبُوا أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَإِنِّي لَا أُكَذِّبُهُ، اللَّهُمَّ وَإِنِ اتَّهَمُوهُ فَإِنِّي لَا أَتَّهِمُهُ، اللَّهُمَّ وَإِنِ اسْتَغَشُّوهُ فَإِنِّي لَا أَسْتَغِشُّهُ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْتَمِنُهُ حِينَ لَا يَأْتَمِنُ أَحَدًا، وَيُسِرُّ إِلَيْهِ حِينَ لَا يُسِرُّ إِلَى أَحَدٍ، أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَطَعَ يَمِينِي، مَا أَبْغَضْتُهُ بَعْدَ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَا أَظَلَّتِ الْخَضْرَاءُ، وَلَا أَقَلَّتِ الْغَبْرَاءُ مِنْ ذِي لَهْجَةٍ أَصْدَقَ مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ.
✧ He visited Abu al-Darda in Homs and stayed with him for nights. He ordered his donkey to be saddled, and Abu al-Darda said: I think I should follow you. He ordered his donkey to be saddled, and they rode together on their two donkeys. They met a man who had attended the Friday prayer yesterday with Mu'awiya at al-Jabiya. The man recognized them but they did not recognize him, and he told them the news of the people. Then the man said: And another piece of news I disliked to tell you; I see you would dislike it. Abu al-Darda said: Perhaps Abu Dharr has been exiled. He said: Yes, by God. Abu al-Darda and his companion said 'Indeed we belong to God and to Him we return' nearly ten times. Then Abu al-Darda said: Watch them and be patient, as was said to the companions of the she-camel. O God, if they have belied Abu Dharr, I do not belie him. O God, if they have accused him, I do not accuse him. O God, if they have deemed him treacherous, I do not deem him treacherous, for the Messenger of God ﷺ used to trust him when he trusted no one, and confide in him when he confided in no one. By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Abu al-Darda, if Abu Dharr cut off my right hand, I would not hate him after what I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: The green canopy has not shaded nor the dust-colored earth carried one of more truthful speech than Abu Dharr.
Musnad Ahmad 21725Sahih
فُسْطَاطُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَ الْمَلْحَمَةِ الْغُوطَةُ، إِلَى جَانِبِ مَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا دِمَشْقُ.

Musnad Ahmad 21726Hasan
أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي بِنْتُ عَمِّي وَإِنِّي أُحِبُّهَا، وَإِنَّ وَالِدَتِي تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أُطَلِّقَهَا. فَقَالَ: لَا آمُرُكَ أَنْ تُطَلِّقَهَا، وَلَا آمُرُكَ أَنْ تَعْصِيَ وَالِدَتَكَ، وَلَكِنْ أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ الْوَالِدَةَ أَوْسَطُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَمْسِكْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَدَعْ
✧ A man came to Abu al-Darda and said: My wife is my cousin and I love her, but my mother orders me to divorce her. He said: I do not order you to divorce her, nor do I order you to disobey your mother, but I will tell you a hadith I heard from the Messenger of God ﷺ. I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: The mother is the middle gate of Paradise, so if you wish, keep her, and if you wish, leave her.
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُوا فَأُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ اقْتَصَدُوا فَأُولَئِكَ يُحَاسَبُونَ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ فَأُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يُحْبَسُونَ فِي طُولِ الْمَحْشَرِ، ثُمَّ هُمُ الَّذِينَ تَلَافَاهُمُ اللهُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ، فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ لُغُوبٌ
✧ Then We caused to inherit the Book those whom We chose from among Our servants, and among them is one who wrongs his own soul, and among them is one who is moderate, and among them is one who is foremost in good deeds by God's permission. As for those who are foremost, they are the ones who will enter Paradise without accounting. As for those who are moderate, they will be called to account with an easy reckoning. As for those who wronged themselves, they are the ones who will be detained along the length of the gathering place. Then they are the ones whom God will rescue with His mercy. They are the ones who say: Praise be to God who has removed from us sorrow. Indeed, our Lord is Forgiving, Appreciative — until His saying: fatigue.
أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ: بِالصِّحَّةِ لَا بِالْمَرَضِ. فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ الصُّدَاعَ وَالْمَلِيلَةَ لَا تَزَالُ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ، وَإِنَّ ذَنْبَهُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ، فَمَا تَدَعُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ
✧ That he entered upon Abu al-Darda' and said: "[You are here] with health, not with illness." Abu al-Darda' said: "I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'Headache and fever do not cease to afflict the believer, even if his sin is like Mount Uhud, until they leave him with no more upon him of that than the weight of a mustard seed.'"
Musnad Ahmad 21729Sahih
مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثُمَّ لَبِسَ ثِيَابَهُ، وَمَسَّ طِيبًا إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ، ثُمَّ مَشَى إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ، وَلَمْ يَتَخَطَّ أَحَدًا وَلَمْ يُؤْذِهِ، [ثُمَّ] رَكَعَ مَا قُضِيَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ انْتَظَرَ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ الْإِمَامُ، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَتَيْنِ
✧ Whoever performs ghusl on Friday, then puts on his clothes, and touches perfume if he has any, then walks to the Friday prayer with tranquility, without stepping over anyone or harming them, [then] prays what is decreed for him, then waits until the imam finishes, will be forgiven what is between the two Fridays.
Musnad Ahmad 21731Sahih
ابْغُونِي ضُعَفَاءَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا تُرْزَقُونَ وَتُنْصَرُونَ بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ
✧ Seek out your weak ones for me, for you are only provided for and given victory through your weak ones.
كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ إِذَا حَدَّثَ حَدِيثًا تَبَسَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ إِنَّكَ - أَيْ: أَحْمَقُ - ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا رَأَيْتُ أَوْ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثًا إِلَّا تَبَسَّمَ
✧ Abu al-Darda' used to smile whenever he narrated a hadith. I said: "Will the people not say that you are—that is, a fool?" He said: "I never saw or heard the Messenger of God ﷺ narrate a hadith without smiling."
Musnad Ahmad 21733Sahih
بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ، إِذْ رَأَيْتُ عَمُودَ الْكِتَابِ احْتُمِلَ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِي، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ مَذْهُوبٌ بِهِ، فَأَتْبَعْتُهُ بَصَرِي فَعُمِدَ بِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ حِينَ تَقَعُ الْفِتَنُ بِالشَّامِ
✧ While I was sleeping, I saw the pillar of the Book being lifted from under my head. I thought it was being taken away, so I followed it with my gaze, and it was taken to Syria. Indeed, faith, when tribulations occur, will be in Syria.
أَجِلُّوا اللهَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ
✧ Glorify God, and He will forgive you.
كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ بِحَدِيثٍ إِلَّا تَبَسَّمَ فِيهِ. فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يُحَمِّقَكَ النَّاسُ. فَقَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُحَدِّثُ بِحَدِيثٍ إِلَّا تَبَسَّمَ
✧ Abu al-Darda' would not narrate a hadith without smiling during it. I said to him: "I fear that the people will think you are foolish." He said: "The Messenger of God ﷺ would not narrate a hadith without smiling."
Musnad Ahmad 21736No grade recorded
أَنَّهُ أَتَاهُ عَائِدًا، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لِأَبِي بَعْدَ أَنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ: بِالصِّحَّةِ لَا بِالْوَجَعِ. ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَا يَزَالُ الْمَرْءُ الْمُسْلِمُ بِهِ الْمَلِيلَةُ وَالصُّدَاعُ، وَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا لَأَعْظَمَ مِنْ أُحُدٍ، حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهُ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ
✧ That he came to visit him, and Abu al-Darda' said to my father after greeting him: "[You are here] with health, not with pain." He said that three times, then said: "I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'Fever and headache keep affecting the Muslim person, even though his sins are greater than Mount Uhud, until they leave him with no more sins upon him than the weight of a mustard seed.'"

✧ I am the first to be permitted to prostrate on the Day of Resurrection, and I am the first to be permitted to raise his head. I will look before me and recognize my ummah from among the nations, and behind me likewise, and to my right likewise, and to my left likewise. A man said: "O Messenger of God, how will you recognize your ummah [O Messenger of God] from among the nations, from the time of Noah until your ummah?" He said: "They will be radiant with white marks from the traces of ablution—no one else is like that—and I will recognize them because they will be given their books in their right hands, and I will recognize them by their descendants running before them."

أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ فِي السُّجُودِ
✧ I am the first to be permitted to prostrate.
إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأُمَمِ، قَالُوا: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ أُمَّتَكَ ؟ قَالَ: أَعْرِفُهُمْ يُؤْتَوْنَ كُتُبَهُمْ بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ، وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ بِسِيمَاهُمْ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ مِنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ، وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ بِنُورِهِمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ
✧ Indeed, I will recognize my ummah on the Day of Resurrection from among the nations. They said: "O Prophet of God, how will you recognize your ummah?" He said: "I will recognize them because they will be given their books in their right hands, and I will recognize them by their marks on their faces from the traces of prostration, and I will recognize them by their light running before them."
لَا يَدَعُ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ لِلهِ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ يَقُولُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ، فَإِنَّهَا أَلْفُ حَسَنَةٍ، فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَعْمَلَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي يَوْمٍ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ، وَيَكُونُ مَا عَمِلَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ سِوَى ذَلِكَ وَافِرًا
✧ Let none of you fail to perform for God [Mighty and Majestic] a thousand good deeds when he reaches the morning by saying: 'Glory be to God and praise be to Him' one hundred times, for that is a thousand good deeds. Then, God willing, he will not perform the like of that in a day of sins, and whatever good he does besides that will be abundant.
Musnad Ahmad 21742Sahih
قُلْتُ: أَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ صَنَعْتُمْ عَشِيَّةَ رَدِفْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: جِئْنَا الشِّعْبَ الَّذِي يُنِيخُ فِيهِ النَّاسُ لِلْمَغْرِبِ، فَأَنَاخَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَاقَتَهُ ثُمَّ بَالَ - مَا قَالَ: أَهَرَاقَ الْمَاءَ - ثُمَّ دَعَا بِالْوَضُوءِ فَتَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءًا لَيْسَ بِالْبَالِغِ جِدًّا. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، الصَّلَاةَ ؟ قَالَ: الصَّلَاةُ أَمَامَكَ قَالَ: فَرَكِبَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةَ، فَأَقَامَ الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ أَنَاخَ النَّاسُ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَحُلُّوا حَتَّى أَقَامَ الْعِشَاءَ [الْآخِرَةَ] فَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ حَلَّ النَّاسُ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: كَيْفَ فَعَلْتُمْ حِينَ أَصْبَحْتُمْ ؟ قَالَ: رَدِفَهُ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا فِي سُبَّاقِ قُرَيْشٍ عَلَى رِجْلَيَّ
✧ I said: Tell me how you did on the evening when you rode behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: We came to the mountain pass where the people make their camels kneel for sunset prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made his she-camel kneel, then he urinated - he did not say: he poured out water - then he called for ablution water and performed ablution, but not a very thorough one. He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, the prayer? He said: The prayer is ahead of you. He said: Then he rode until he reached Muzdalifah, where he performed the sunset prayer. Then the people made their camels kneel at their camping places, and they did not unload their luggage until he performed the night prayer [the later one], and then the people unloaded. He said: I said: How did you do when morning came? He said: Al-Fadl b. Abbas rode behind him, and I went on foot among the foremost of Quraysh.

✧ He set out with Usama to Wadi al-Qura seeking property of his. He used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, so his freed slave said to him: Why do you fast on Mondays and Thursdays when you are an old man who has become weak? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. He was asked about that and said: The deeds of people are presented on Mondays and Thursdays.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us to al-Huraqah, a branch of Juhaynah. He said: We attacked them in the morning and fought them. Among them was a man who, when the people advanced, was one of the fiercest against us, and when they retreated, he was their protector. He said: I and a man from the Ansar overtook him. He said: When we overtook him, he said: There is no god but Allah. The Ansari held back from him, but I killed him. That reached the Prophet ﷺ and he said: O Usama, did you kill him after he said: There is no god but Allah? He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, he only said it to seek protection from being killed. He repeated it to me until I wished I had not become Muslim before that day.

Musnad Ahmad 21748Sahih
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى أُطُمٍ مِنْ آطَامِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ: هَلْ تَرَوْنَ مَا أَرَى ؟ إِنِّي لَأَرَى مَوَاقِعَ الْفِتَنِ خِلَالَ بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَوَاقِعِ الْقَطْرِ

✧ A man came asking Sa'd about the plague. Usama b. Zayd said: I will tell you about it. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: This is a punishment, or something like that, which Allah sent upon people before you, or a group of the Children of Israel. It comes sometimes and goes sometimes. If it occurs in a land, do not enter it, and if it occurs in a land, do not leave it fleeing from it.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast on certain days until it was said that he never breaks his fast, and he would break his fast on certain days until it was said that he hardly ever fasts, except for two days of the week, unless there was a fasting in the month, then he would fast those two days as well. He did not fast any month as much as he fasted in Sha'ban. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you fast so much that it seems like you never break your fast, and you break your fast so much that it seems like you hardly ever fast. He said, "Which two days?" I said, "Monday and Thursday." He said, "Those are two days when deeds are shown (to Allah) and I love that my deeds should be shown (to Allah) when I am fasting." I said, "And I have never seen you fasting in any month as you fast in Sha'ban." He said, "That is a month between Rajab and Ramadan that people neglect, but it is a month in which deeds are raised up to the Lord of the worlds, and I love that my deeds should be raised up when I am fasting."

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed from Arafah with Usamah riding behind him. He began pulling back the reins of his mount until its head nearly touched the front of the saddle—or perhaps Hammad said: until it almost struck the front of the saddle—while saying: 'O people, you must be calm and dignified, for righteousness is not in making the camels trot fast.'
Musnad Ahmad 21757Sahih

When he heard the commotion of the people behind him, he said softly, "O people, calm down. Surely, righteousness is not achieved through chaos." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would lower his head when the people crowded around him, and when he found a slight opening, he would proceed until he reached Muzdalifah. He would pray there, combining the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers.

✧ I was walking behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the evening of Arafah, and when the sun had set, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pushed ahead. When he heard the sound of people behind him, he said, "Calm down, O people, for surely righteousness is not attained by haste." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when the people crowded around him, he would straighten his neck, and when he found an opening, he would move forward until he reached the place where many people claim he performed Salah. He then descended from his mount, and he made a sign with his hands, saying, "Pour the water as you say." Then I brought him the container, and he performed the wudu' (ablution). Then he said, "I said Salah, O Messenger of Allah." He replied, "The Salah is in front of you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then mounted and did not perform Salah until he reached Muzdalifah. He descended there and combined the Maghrib and Isha prayers.

Usamah replied: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'It is a punishment sent upon a faction of the Children of Israel, or upon a faction of those before you' — the doubt is in the hadith — 'so if you hear of it in a land, do not go forward to it, and if it occurs in a land while you are there, do not leave fleeing from it.'

✧ The Prophet ﷺ rode a donkey with a packsaddle, under him a Fadak velvet cloth, and he mounted Usamah b. Zayd behind him. He was visiting Sa'd b. Ubadah in the Banu al-Harith b. al-Khazraj, and that was before the Battle of Badr. He passed by a gathering in which there were mixed groups of Muslims, polytheist idol-worshippers, and Jews, among them Abdullah b. Ubayy, and in the gathering was Abdullah b. Rawahah. When the dust of the animal covered the gathering, Abdullah b. Ubayy covered his nose with his cloak and said: 'Do not make dust on us.' The Prophet ﷺ greeted them, then stopped and dismounted. He called them to Allah and recited the Quran to them. Abdullah b. Ubayy said to him: 'O man, there is nothing better than this if what you say is true. Do not annoy us in our gatherings, and return to your mount. Whoever of us comes to you, narrate to him.' Abdullah b. Rawahah said: 'Come to us in our gatherings, for we love that.' He said: The Muslims, polytheists, and Jews insulted one another until they were about to jump at each other. The Prophet ﷺ kept calming them down, then he mounted his animal and entered upon Sa'd b. Ubadah. He said: 'O Sa'd, did you not hear what Abu Hubab said' — meaning Abdullah b. Ubayy — 'he said such-and-such?' He replied: 'Pardon him, O Messenger of Allah, and overlook. By Allah, Allah has given you what He has given you, and the people of this lake had agreed to crown him and tie a headband on him. When Allah rejected that with the truth He gave you, he choked on that, and so he did what you saw.' So the Prophet ﷺ pardoned him.

He will say: Of course, it is so; I used to enjoin (upon people) to do what was reputable but did not practise that myself. I had been forbidding people to do what was disreputable, but practised it myself. (Using translation from Muslim 2989a)

✧ Two men from them stood up and asked him, so he said, "It is Dhuhr (midday prayer)." Then they went to Usama ibn Zaid and asked him, and he said, "It is Dhuhr (midday prayer). Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray Dhuhr at the time of Hajir, and there would be no one behind him except for the rows and the Safwan from the people in their neighborhood and their trade." So Allah, the Almighty, revealed: "Guard strictly the (five obligatory) prayers, especially the middle prayer and stand before Allah with obedience." [Quran 2:238]. He (the Prophet) said, "Men should stop delaying, or else I will set their houses on fire."

✧ I asked ʿAṭāʾ about a dinar for a dinar with a difference between them, and a dirham for a dirham. He said: Ibn ʿAbbās used to permit it.

✧ They said to him: Will you not enter upon this man and speak to him? He said: He said: Do you not see that I do not speak to him except so that you hear me? By Allah, I have spoken to him privately between me and him, without opening a matter that I would not like to be the first to open. Nor do I say of a man who is my ruler that he is the best of people, after I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown into the Fire, and the intestines of his belly will spill out, and he will go round with them in the Fire as a donkey goes round a millstone. He (the Prophet) said: The people of the Fire will gather around him and say: O so-and-so, were you not commanding us to good and forbidding us from evil? He will say: Yes, I used to command good but not do it, and forbid evil but do it.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us on an expedition to al-Ḥuraqāt. They became aware of us and fled, but we caught a man. When we surrounded him, he said: Lā ilāha illā Allāh (There is no god but Allah). We struck him until we killed him. Something about that troubled me, and I mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Who will intercede for you against Lā ilāha illā Allāh on the Day of Resurrection? I said: O Messenger of Allah, he only said it out of fear of the weapons and being killed! He said: Did you split open his heart to know whether he said it for that reason or not? Who will intercede for you against Lā ilāha illā Allāh on the Day of Resurrection? He (the narrator) said: He kept saying that until I wished I had only embraced Islam that day.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed from ʿArafa while I was riding behind him. He kept reining in his mount until its withers almost touched the front of the saddle, and he was saying: O people, keep calm and dignified, for righteousness is not in hastening the camels.
ذُكِرَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَعْضِ الْأَرْيَافِ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ أَصَابَهُ الْوَبَاءُ، قَالَ: فَأَفْزَعَ ذَلِكَ النَّاسَ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَطْلُعَ عَلَيْنَا نِقَابَهَا يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ابْتَاعَ فَرَسًا مِنْ أَعْرَابِيٍّ، فَاسْتَتْبَعَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِيَقْضِيَهُ ثَمَنَ فَرَسِهِ، فَأَسْرَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَشْيَ وَأَبْطَأَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، فَطَفِقَ رِجَالٌ يَعْتَرِضُونَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ فَيُسَاوِمُونَ بِالْفَرَسِ، لَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ابْتَاعَهُ، حَتَّى زَادَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ فِي السَّوْمِ عَلَى ثَمَنِ الْفَرَسِ الَّذِي ابْتَاعَهُ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَنَادَى الْأَعْرَابِيُّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنْ كُنْتَ مُبْتَاعًا هَذَا الْفَرَسَ فَابْتَعْهُ وَإِلَّا بِعْتُهُ. فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَ سَمِعَ نِدَاءَ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ فَقَالَ: أَوَلَيْسَ قَدِ ابْتَعْتُهُ مِنْكَ ؟ قَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: لَا، وَاللهِ مَا بِعْتُكَ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: بَلَى، قَدِ ابْتَعْتُهُ مِنْكَ، فَطَفِقَ النَّاسُ يَلُوذُونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَالْأَعْرَابِيِّ وَهُمَا يَتَرَاجَعَانِ، فَطَفِقَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ يَقُولُ: هَلُمَّ شَهِيدًا يَشْهَدُ أَنِّي بَايَعْتُكَ. فَمَنْ جَاءَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ لِلْأَعْرَابِيِّ: وَيْلَكَ، إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَقُولَ إِلَّا حَقًّا. حَتَّى جَاءَ خُزَيْمَةُ، [فَاسْتَمَعَ] لِمُرَاجَعَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمُرَاجَعَةِ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ، فَطَفِقَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ يَقُولُ: هَلُمَّ شَهِيدًا يَشْهَدُ أَنِّي بَايَعْتُكَ. قَالَ خُزَيْمَةُ: أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَايَعْتَهُ. فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى خُزَيْمَةَ فَقَالَ: بِمَ تَشْهَدُ ؟ فَقَالَ: بِتَصْدِيقِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ شَهَادَةَ خُزَيْمَةَ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ
✧ That the Prophet ﷺ bought a horse from a Bedouin, and the Prophet ﷺ asked him to follow him so that he could pay him the price of his horse. The Prophet ﷺ walked quickly while the Bedouin was slow, so some men began to intercept the Bedouin and bargain with him over the horse, not realizing that the Prophet ﷺ had bought it, until one of them outbid the price for which the Prophet ﷺ had bought the horse. The Bedouin called out to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'If you are going to buy this horse, then buy it; otherwise I will sell it.' The Prophet ﷺ stood up when he heard the Bedouin's call and said: 'Have I not already bought it from you?' The Bedouin said: 'No, by Allah, I have not sold it to you.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Yes, I have bought it from you.' The people began to gather around the Prophet ﷺ and the Bedouin while they were arguing back and forth. The Bedouin began to say: 'Bring a witness to testify that I sold it to you.' Whoever came from the Muslims said to the Bedouin: 'Woe to you! The Prophet ﷺ would not say anything but the truth.' Until Khuzaymah came and listened to the exchange between the Prophet ﷺ and the Bedouin. The Bedouin kept saying: 'Bring a witness to testify that I sold it to you.' Khuzaymah said: 'I bear witness that you did sell it to him.' The Prophet ﷺ turned to Khuzaymah and said: 'On what basis do you bear witness?' He said: 'On the basis of believing you, O Messenger of Allah.' So the Prophet ﷺ made Khuzaymah's testimony equivalent to the testimony of two men.

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قِبَلَ حُنَيْنٍ، فَمَرَرْنَا بِسِدْرَةٍ فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ اجْعَلْ لَنَا هَذِهِ ذَاتَ أَنْوَاطٍ، كَمَا لِلْكُفَّارِ ذَاتُ أَنْوَاطٍ. وَكَانَ الْكُفَّارُ يَنُوطُونَ سِلَاحَهُمْ بِسِدْرَةٍ، وَيَعْكُفُونَ حَوْلَهَا. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، هَذَا كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى: اجْعَلْ لَنَا إِلَهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ إِنَّكُمْ تَرْكَبُونَ سَنَنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ
✧ We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ toward Hunayn, and we passed by a lote tree. I said, "O Prophet of Allah, make for us a Dhat Anwat as the disbelievers have a Dhat Anwat." The disbelievers used to hang their weapons on a lote tree and devote themselves around it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah is greatest! This is as the Children of Israel said to Moses: 'Make for us a god as they have gods.' You will surely follow the ways of those before you."

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said, “The caliphate in my community is thirty years, then kingship after that.” Then he said to me, “Safīna, hold fast to the caliphate of Abū Bakr, the caliphate of ʿUmar, the caliphate of ʿUthmān, and hold fast to the caliphate of ʿAlī.” He said, “We found it thirty years.” Then I looked at the caliphs after that and did not find it agreed with them for thirty. I said to Saʿīd, “Where did you meet Safīna?” He said, “I met him in the valley of Nakhla in the time of al-Ḥajjāj. I stayed with him for eight nights asking him about the ḥadīths of the Messenger of God ﷺ.” He said, “I said to him, ‘What is your name?’ He said, ‘I will not tell you; the Messenger of God ﷺ named me Safīna.’ I said, ‘Why did he name you Safīna (ship)?’ He said, ‘The Messenger of God ﷺ went out with his companions, and their belongings became heavy on them, so he said to me: Spread your cloak. So I spread it, and they put their belongings in it, then they loaded it on me. The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: Carry it, for you are only a ship. If I had carried that day the load of a camel, or two, or three, or four, or five, or six, or seven, it would not have been heavy on me except that they were burdensome.””

✧ Jumḥān, from Safīna, the freed slave of the Messenger of God ﷺ, said: The Messenger of God ﷺ addressed us and said, “Indeed, there was no prophet before me but that he warned his community against the Dajjāl. He is one-eyed in his left eye, and on his right eye is a thick white film. Written between his eyes is ‘kāfir (disbeliever).’ With him will come two valleys, one of which is a garden and the other a fire. His fire is a garden, and his garden is a fire. With him are two angels from among the angels resembling two prophets of the prophets. If I wished, I would name them and their fathers' names. One of them is on his right and the other on his left, and that is a trial. The Dajjāl will say, ‘Am I not your Lord? Do I not give life and cause death?’ One of the two angels will say to him, ‘You have lied,’ but no one of the people will hear him except his companion. Then the other angel will say to him, ‘You have spoken the truth,’ and the people will hear him and will think that he is confirming the Dajjāl, and that is a trial. Then he will travel until he reaches Medina, but he will not be permitted to enter it. He will say, ‘This is the village of that man.’ Then he will travel until he reaches Syria, and God will destroy him at the pass of Afīq.”

Then he said: “O company of the Muhajirun, you are increasing, while the Ansar are not increasing. The Ansar are my trusted confidants to whom I turned. Honor their noble ones and overlook their wrongdoers, for they have fulfilled what was upon them, and what is owed to them remains.”
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لِأُبَايِعَهُ قَالَ: فَاشْتَرَطَ عَلَيَّ شَهَادَةَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، وَأَنْ أُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَأَنْ أُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ، وَأَنْ أَحُجَّ حَجَّةَ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَنْ أَصُومَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَنْ أُجَاهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمَّا اثْنَتَانِ فَوَاللهِ مَا أُطِيقُهُمَا: الْجِهَادُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ؛ فَإِنَّهُمْ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَلَّى الدُّبُرَ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللهِ، فَأَخَافُ إِنْ حَضَرْتُ تِلْكَ جَشِعَتْ نَفْسِي وَكَرِهْتُ الْمَوْتَ. وَالصَّدَقَةُ، فَوَاللهِ مَا لِي إِلَّا غُنَيْمَةٌ وَعَشْرُ ذَوْدٍ، هُنَّ رَسَلُ أَهْلِي وَحَمُولَتُهُمْ. قَالَ: فَقَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ حَرَّكَ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: فَلَا جِهَادَ وَلَا صَدَقَةَ، فَبِمَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِذًا ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنَا أُبَايِعُكَ. قَالَ: فَبَايَعْتُهُ عَلَيْهِنَّ كُلِّهِنَّ
✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ to pledge allegiance to him. He said: “He stipulated upon me the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, that I establish the prayer, that I pay the zakah, that I perform the Hajj of Islam, that I fast the month of Ramadan, and that I strive in the path of Allah.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, as for two of them, by Allah, I cannot bear them: jihad and charity (sadaqah). For they claim that whoever turns his back has incurred wrath from Allah, and I fear that if I am present at that, my soul will become greedy and I will hate death. As for charity, by Allah, I have nothing but a small flock and ten she-camels; they are the milk supply of my family and their transport.” He said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ withdrew his hand, then moved his hand, then said: ‘Then no jihad and no charity—how will you enter Paradise then?’” He said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I pledge allegiance to you.’” He said: “So I pledged allegiance to him upon all of them.”

✧ He asked the Prophet ﷺ: “Should I fast on Friday and not speak to anyone that day?” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Do not fast on Friday unless it is part of days in which it is included, or within a month.

Zayd b. al-Khattab told him that ‘Abd Allah b. Hanzalah b. Abi ‘Amir [b.] al-Ghasil told her that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command wudu for every prayer, whether in a state of purity or not. When that became difficult for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he commanded the siwak at every prayer, and the wudu was lifted from him except due to ritual impurity.” He said: “So ‘Abd Allah saw that he had strength for that, and he kept doing it until he died.”

Worship God and do not associate anything with Him, establish the prayer, give the zakat, fast Ramadan, and perform the Hajj to the House.' Then he said, 'Shall I not guide you to the gates of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sin, and a man's prayer in the depth of the night.' Then he recited: 'Their sides forsake their beds...' until he reached '...they do.' Then he said, 'Shall I not inform you of the head of the matter, its pillar, and its highest peak?' I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of God.' He said, 'The head of the matter is Islam, its pillar is the prayer, and its highest peak is jihad.' Then he said, 'Shall I not inform you of what controls all of that?' I said to him, 'Yes, O Prophet of God.' He took hold of his tongue and said, 'Restrain this.' I said, 'O Messenger of God, will we be held accountable for what we say?' He said, 'May your mother be bereaved of you, O Mu'adh! Is there anything that throws people into the Fire on their faces—or he said: on their nostrils—except the harvests of their tongues?'

مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَبِيتُ عَلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ طَاهِرًا، فَيَتَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَيَسْأَلُ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] خَيْرًا مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ.

Muadh wept out of longing for parting from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then he turned and faced toward Madinah and said: The people most entitled to me are the God-fearing, whoever they are and wherever they are.

✧ We returned with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from the expedition of Tabuk, and when I saw him alone, I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed that will admit me to Paradise." He said: "Excellent! You have asked about something great, yet it is easy for the one for whom Allah makes it easy. You establish the prescribed prayer, give the obligatory zakah, and meet Allah [Mighty and Majestic] without associating anything with Him. Shall I not tell you of the head of the matter, its pillar, and the peak of its hump? The head of the matter is Islam: whoever submits is safe. Its pillar is prayer, and the peak of its hump is striving in the path of Allah. Shall I not tell you of the gates of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity and a servant's standing in the depths of the night expiate sins," and he recited this verse: "Their sides forsake their beds, calling upon their Lord in fear and in hope, and from what We have provided them they spend." Then he said: "Shall I not tell you of what gives you mastery over all of that?" He said: Then a group of people approached, and I feared they would distract the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from me—Shu'bah said: "or words to that effect." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about your saying: 'Shall I not tell you of what gives you mastery over all of that?'" He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed with his hand to his tongue.

✧ that they went out with the Messenger of God ﷺ in the year of Tabuk. The Messenger of God ﷺ used to combine the noon (ẓuhr) and afternoon (ʿaṣr) prayers, and the sunset (maghrib) and night (ʿishāʾ) prayers. He said: And he delayed the prayer, then came out and prayed the noon and afternoon prayers together. Then he entered, then came out and prayed the sunset and night prayers together. Then he said: 'Tomorrow, God willing, you will come to the spring of Tabuk. You will not reach it until the day becomes bright. Whoever arrives there must not touch any of its water until I come.' We arrived, and two men had preceded us to it, while the spring was like a shoe-lace, trickling with a little water. The Messenger of God ﷺ asked them: 'Have you touched any of its water?' They said: 'Yes.' The Messenger of God ﷺ rebuked them and said to them what God willed him to say. Then they scooped with their hands from the spring little by little until it gathered in something. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ washed his face and hands in it, then returned it to the spring, and the spring flowed with abundant water, and the people drew water. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Soon, O Muʿādh, if you live long enough, you will see what is here filled with gardens.'

So I mounted behind him, and the donkey threw us off. The Prophet ﷺ stood up laughing, and I stood up remembering to myself with regret. Then he did that a second time, then a third time. Then he mounted and the donkey carried us. He reached back his hand and struck my back with a whip he had, or a stick. Then he said: 'O Muʿādh, do you know what God's right upon His servants is?' I said: 'God and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'God's right upon His servants is that they worship Him and do not associate anything with Him.' He said: Then he rode on as God willed. Then he reached back his hand and struck my back, saying: 'O Muʿādh, O son of Umm Muʿādh, do you know what the servants' right upon God is if they do that?' I said: 'God and His Messenger know best.'

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ enjoined upon me ten words. He said: 'Do not associate anything with God, even if you are killed and burned. Do not disobey your parents, even if they command you to leave your family and your wealth. Do not deliberately abandon an obligatory prayer, for whoever deliberately abandons an obligatory prayer, God's protection is released from him. Do not drink wine, for it is the head of every indecency. Beware of disobedience, for by disobedience the wrath of God, Mighty and Majestic, descends. Beware of fleeing from the battlefield, even if the people perish. If a plague afflicts the people and you are among them, remain steadfast. Spend on your dependents from your means, and do not lift your staff from them as discipline, and make them fear God.'

When the people disagreed about something, they turned to him and asked him. I said to a companion of mine: 'Who is this?' He said: 'This is Muʿādh b. Jabal.' Love for him fell into my heart, so I stayed with them until they dispersed. Then I went early to the mosque, and there was Muʿādh b. Jabal standing praying toward a pillar. He was silent and did not speak to me. I prayed, then sat down, wrapping myself in my cloak. Then he sat down and was silent, not speaking to me, and I was silent, not speaking to him. Then I said: 'By God, I love you.' He said: 'For what do you love me?' I said: 'For God, Blessed and Exalted.' He took hold of my waist-wrapper and pulled me to him a little, then said: 'Rejoice if you are truthful.

✧ Whoever prays the five prayers, performs pilgrimage to the House, fasts Ramadan — and I do not know whether he mentioned zakat or not — it is a right upon God to forgive him, whether he emigrates in His cause or remains in his land in which he was born. Mu'adh said: 'O Messenger of God, shall I inform the people?' He said: 'Leave the people, O Mu'adh. In Paradise there are one hundred degrees, between every two degrees is one hundred years. Al-Firdaws is the highest and middle of Paradise, and from it the rivers of Paradise burst forth. So when you ask God, ask Him for al-Firdaws.'

"One morning, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prevented from coming to us for Salat As-Subh, until we were just about to look for the eye of the sun (meaning sunrise). Then he came out quickly, had the Salat prepared for. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Salat, and he performed his Salat in a relatively quick manner. When he said the Salam, he called aloud with his voice saying to us: 'Stay in your rows as you are.' Then he turned coming near to us, then he said: 'I am going to narrate to you what kept me from you this morning: I got up during the night, I performed Wudu and prayed as much as I was able to, and I dozed off during my Salat, and fell deep asleep. Then I saw my Lord, Blessed and Most High, in the best of appearances. He said: 'O Muhammad!' I said: 'My Lord here I am my Lord!' He said: 'What is it that the most exalted group busy themselves with?' I said: 'I do not know Lord.' And He said it three times." He said: "So I saw Him place His Palm between my shoulders, and I sensed the coolness of His Fingertips between my breast. Then everything was disclosed for me, and I became aware. So He said: 'O Muhammad!' I said: 'Here I am my Lord!' He said: 'What is it that the most exalted group busy themselves with?' I said: 'In the acts that atone.' He said: 'And what are they?' I said: 'The footsteps to the congregation, the gatherings in the Masajid after the Salat, Isbagh Al-Wudu during difficulties.' He said: 'Then what else?' I said: 'Feeding others, being lenient in speech, and Salat during the night while the people are sleeping.' He said: 'Ask.' I said: 'O Allah! I ask of you the doing of the good deeds, avoiding the evil deeds, loving the poor, and that You forgive me, and have mercy upon me. And when You have willed Fitnah in the people, then take me without the Fitnah. And I ask You for Your love, the love of whomever You love, and the love of the deeds that bring one nearer to Your love.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed it is true, so study it and learn it." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3235)

"A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about a man who meets a woman and there is no acquaintance between them. So there is nothing that a man who would do with his wife but he does it with her, except that he does not have intercourse with her?'" He said: "So Allah revealed: And perform the Salat, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful (11:114). So he ordered him to perform Wudu and Salat." Then Mu'adh said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Is that specifically for him, or for the believers in general?' He said: 'Rather it is for the believers in general.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3113)

✧ Whoever strives in the path of Allah — and Rawh said: fights in the path of Allah — as a Muslim man for the interval between two milkings of a she-camel, Paradise becomes obligatory for him. And whoever sincerely asks Allah for martyrdom from within himself, then dies or is killed, he will have the reward of the martyrs. And whoever is wounded in the path of Allah or suffers an injury, it will come on the Day of Resurrection as the most copious it ever was — and Abd al-Razzaq said: as the most splendid, and Rawh: as the most copious, and Hajjaj: as the mightiest it ever was — its color like saffron and its smell like musk. And whoever is wounded in the path of Allah, upon him is the seal of the martyrs.

✧ I did not think the people were as far from us as they were. Muadh said: "O Prophet of Allah, the people dozed and their mounts dispersed with them, grazing and moving on." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I too was drowsy." When Muadh saw the Prophet's ﷺ glad tidings to him and his privacy with him, he said: "O Messenger of Allah, permit me to ask you about a word that has made me ill, sickened me, and grieved me." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: "Ask me whatever you wish." He said: "O Prophet of Allah, tell me of a deed that will admit me to Paradise; I will not ask you about anything else." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: "Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! You have asked about something great, you have asked about something great," three times, "and indeed it is easy for the one for whom Allah intends good, and indeed it is easy for the one for whom Allah intends good, and indeed it is easy for the one for whom Allah intends good." He did not tell him anything except he said it three times, meaning he repeated it to him three times out of eagerness to make him perfect it from him. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: "Believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, and worship Allah alone, associating nothing with Him, until you die upon that." He said: "O Prophet of Allah, repeat for me." So he repeated it to him three times. Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: "If you wish, O Muadh, I will tell you of the head of this matter, the support of this matter, and the peak of the camel's hump." Muadh said: "Yes, may my father and mother be your ransom, O Prophet of Allah, tell me." The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: "The head of this matter is to testify that there is no god but Allah alone with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. The support of this matter is performing prayer and giving zakah. The peak of the camel's hump from it is jihad in the path of Allah. I have only been commanded to fight the people until they establish prayer, give zakah, and testify that there is no god but Allah alone with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. When they do that, they have held fast and protected their blood and wealth except by its right, and their reckoning is with Allah, Mighty and Majestic."

أُحِيلَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْوَالٍ، وَأُحِيلَ الصِّيَامُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْوَالٍ، فَأَمَّا أَحْوَالُ الصَّلَاةِ: فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللهَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ: قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَاهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ قَالَ: فَوَجَّهَهُ اللهُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ. قَالَ: فَهَذَا حَوْلٌ. قَالَ: وَكَانُوا يَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلصَّلَاةِ وَيُؤْذِنُ بِهَا بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، حَتَّى نَقَسُوا أَوْ كَادُوا يَنْقُسُونَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ، وَلَوْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ نَائِمًا لَصَدَقْتُ، إِنِّي بَيْنَا أَنَا بَيْنَ النَّائِمِ وَالْيَقْظَانِ، إِذْ رَأَيْتُ شَخْصًا عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَقَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، [أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ]، مَثْنَى مَثْنَى حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الْأَذَانِ، ثُمَّ أَمْهَلَ سَاعَةً. قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي قَالَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَزِيدُ فِي ذَلِكَ: قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: عَلِّمْهَا بِلَالًا فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ بِهَا، فَكَانَ بِلَالٌ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَذَّنَ بِهَا. قَالَ: وَجَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ طَافَ بِي مِثْلُ الَّذِي أَطَافَ بِهِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ سَبَقَنِي. فَهَذَانِ حَوْلَانِ. قَالَ: وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ بِبَعْضِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ. قَالَ: فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُشِيرُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ إِذَا جَاءَكَمْ صَلَّى فَيَقُولُ: وَاحِدَةً أَوِ اثْنَتَيْنِ، فَيُصَلِّيهَا ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ. قَالَ: فَجَاءَ مُعَاذٌ فَقَالَ: لَا أَجِدُهُ عَلَى حَالٍ أَبَدًا إِلَّا كُنْتُ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ قَضَيْتُ مَا سَبَقَنِي. قَالَ: فَجَاءَ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِبَعْضِهَا. قَالَ: فَثَبَتَ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاتَهُ قَامَ فَقَضَى، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ سَنَّ لَكُمْ مُعَاذٌ فَهَكَذَا فَاصْنَعُوا، فَهَذِهِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَحْوَالٍ. وَأَمَّا أَحْوَالُ الصِّيَامِ: فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ [ ﷺ ] قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَصُومُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَصَامَ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا مِنْ رَبِيعِ الْأَوَّلِ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَصَامَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ الصِّيَامَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ قَالَ: فَكَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَطْعَمَ مِسْكِينًا، فَأَجْزَأَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللهَ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] أَنْزَلَ الْآيَةَ الْأُخْرَى: شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْـزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ قَالَ: فَأَثْبَتَ اللهُ صِيَامَهُ عَلَى الْمُقِيمِ الصَّحِيحِ، وَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ لِلْمَرِيضِ وَالْمُسَافِرِ، وَثَبَتَ الْإِطْعَامُ لِلْكَبِيرِ الَّذِي لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الصِّيَامَ، فَهَذَانِ حَوْلَانِ. قَالَ: وَكَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ النِّسَاءَ مَا لَمْ يَنَامُوا، فَإِذَا نَامُوا امْتَنَعُوا. قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ: صِرْمَةُ، ظَلَّ يَعْمَلُ صَائِمًا حَتَّى أَمْسَى، فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ نَامَ، فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ، فَأَصْبَحَ صَائِمًا. قَالَ: فَرَآهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ جُهِدَ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا، قَالَ: مَا لِي أَرَاكَ قَدْ جُهِدْتَ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي عَمِلْتُ أَمْسِ، فَجِئْتُ حِينَ جِئْتُ فَأَلْقَيْتُ نَفْسِي فَنِمْتُ، وَأَصْبَحْتُ حِينَ أَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا. قَالَ: وَكَانَ عُمَرُ قَدْ أَصَابَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مِنْ جَارِيَةٍ أَوْ مِنْ حُرَّةٍ بَعْدَمَا نَامَ، وَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ]: أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَصَامَ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا مِنْ رَبِيعِ الْأَوَّلِ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ.
✧ Prayer was transformed in three stages, and fasting in three stages. As for the stages of prayer: the Prophet ﷺ came to Madinah and prayed toward Jerusalem for seventeen months. Then Allah sent down to him: "We have certainly seen the turning of your face toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward the Sacred Mosque. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it." He said: So Allah directed him toward Makkah. He said: This is one stage. He said: They used to gather for prayer and call one another to it, until they almost rang a bell. He said: Then a man of the Ansar called Abd Allah b. Zayd came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, I saw in my sleep—and if I said I was not asleep I would be truthful—while I was between sleep and wakefulness, I saw a figure wearing two green garments. He faced the qiblah and said: Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest; I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, [I bear witness that there is no god but Allah], in pairs, until he finished the adhan. Then he paused for a while. He said: Then he said the like of what he had said, except that he added: The prayer is established, the prayer is established. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Teach it to Bilal, and let him call the adhan with it." Bilal was the first to give the adhan with it. He said: Umar b. al-Khattab came and said: O Messenger of Allah, the same thing came to me as came to him, except that he preceded me. These are two stages. He said: They used to come to prayer when the Prophet ﷺ had already preceded them in part of it. He said: A man would signal to another, when he came, how much he had prayed, saying: one or two [rak'ahs], and he would pray them, then join the people in their prayer. He said: Mu'adh came and said: I will never find him in a state except that I will be upon it, then I will make up what I missed. He said: He came when the Prophet ﷺ had preceded him in part of it. He said: He remained with him, and when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he stood and made up [what he had missed]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Mu'adh has set a precedent for you, so do as he did." These are three stages. As for the stages of fasting: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah and fasted three days of every month. Yazid said: He fasted for nineteen months, from Rabi' al-Awwal to Ramadan, three days of every month, and he fasted the day of Ashura. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, made fasting obligatory upon him, and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sent down: "O you who have believed, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you," up to this verse: "And upon those who can fast with difficulty, a ransom of feeding a poor person." He said: So whoever wished fasted, and whoever wished fed a poor person, and that sufficed him. He said: Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sent down the other verse: "The month of Ramadan in which the Qur'an was revealed," up to His saying: "So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it." He said: So Allah made fasting obligatory upon the resident who is healthy, and granted a concession to the sick and the traveler, and the feeding remained for the elderly who cannot fast. These are two stages. He said: They used to eat, drink, and go to their wives as long as they had not slept; but when they slept, they abstained. He said: Then a man of the Ansar called Sirmah worked while fasting until evening. He came to his family, prayed Isha, then slept without eating or drinking until morning, and woke up fasting. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him and he was extremely exhausted. He said: "Why do I see you extremely exhausted?" He said: O Messenger of Allah, I worked yesterday, then came and threw myself down and slept, and woke up fasting. He said: Umar had had relations with women—with a slave girl or a free woman—after sleeping, and he came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sent down: "It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives," up to His saying: "Then complete the fast until nightfall." Yazid said: He fasted for nineteen months, from Rabi' al-Awwal to Ramadan.

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً فَأَحْسَنَ فِيهَا الْقِيَامَ وَالْخُشُوعَ وَالرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ. قَالَ: إِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ رَغَبٍ وَرَهَبٍ، سَأَلْتُ اللهَ فِيهَا ثَلَاثًا، فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَزَوَى عَنِّي وَاحِدَةً، سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَبْعَثَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَيَجْتَاحَهُمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَنَةً تَقْتُلُهُمْ جُوعًا فَأَعْطَانِيهِ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيَّ.
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed a prayer in which he performed the standing, humility, bowing, and prostration excellently. He said: "It is a prayer of desire and fear. I asked Allah in it for three things; He granted me two and withheld one. I asked Him not to send upon my community an enemy from other than them who would destroy them, and He granted me that. I asked Him not to send upon them a severe drought that would kill them by hunger, and He granted me that. I asked Him not to make their affliction among themselves, and He refused it to me."

لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا مُعَاذُ، إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَأَنَا وَاللهِ أُحِبُّكَ. قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أُوصِيكَ بِكَلِمَاتٍ تَقُولُهُنَّ فِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ: اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me and said, "O Mu'adh, indeed I love you." I replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I love you." He said, "Then I advise you with these words that you should say in every prayer: O Allah, assist me in remembering You, showing gratitude to You, and worshiping You excellently."

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ أَفْضَلِ الْإِيمَانِ. قَالَ: أَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلهِ وَتُبْغِضَ لِلهِ، وَتُعْمِلَ لِسَانَكَ فِي ذِكْرِ اللهِ قَالَ: وَمَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: وَأَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ، وَتَكْرَهَ لَهُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ
He asked the Prophet ﷺ about the best kind of faith: He said, "To love for the sake of Allah, to hate for the sake of Allah, and to use your tongue in the remembrance of Allah." He asked, "And what is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "To love for people what you love for yourself, and to dislike for them what you dislike for yourself."

سَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِأَبْوَابٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ: الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ كَمَا يُطْفِئُ الْمَاءُ النَّارَ، وَقِيَامُ الْعَبْدِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ

Musnad Ahmad 22134Sahih
بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ إِذْ سَمِعَ مُنَادِيًا يَقُولُ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ. فَقَالَ: عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ. فَقَالَ: شَهِدَ بِشَهَادَةِ الْحَقِّ قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ. قَالَ: خَرَجَ مِنَ النَّارِ، انْظُرُوا فَسَتَجِدُونَهُ إِمَّا رَاعِيًا مُعْزِبًا، وَإِمَّا مُكَلِّبًا فَنَظَرُوهُ فَوَجَدُوهُ رَاعِيًا، حَضَرَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ فَنَادَى بِهَا

He said: "He has come out of the Fire. Look and you will find him either a shepherd keeping his flock away or a man with hunting dogs." They looked and found him a shepherd. The time for prayer came and he called it.
لَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أَوْقَاصِ الْبَقَرِ شَيْئًا
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not say anything regarding the young and old cattle in between (awqas).
أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ وَقَعَ بِالشَّامِ، فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ: إِنَّ هَذَا الرِّجْزَ قَدْ وَقَعَ، فَفِرُّوا مِنْهُ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ. فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مُعَاذًا فَلَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ، فَقَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ شَهَادَةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَدَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ، اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُعَاذًا وَأَهْلَهُ نَصِيبَهُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ. قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ: فَعَرَفْتُ الشَّهَادَةَ وَعَرَفْتُ الرَّحْمَةَ، وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا دَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ، حَتَّى أُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ يُصَلِّي إِذْ قَالَ فِي دُعَائِهِ: فَحُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونٌ، فَحُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونٌ - ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ لَهُ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ اللَّيْلَةَ تَدْعُو بِدُعَاءٍ! قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي [عَزَّ وَجَلَّ] أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَ أُمَّتِي بِسَنَةٍ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَهُمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَأَبَى عَلَيَّ أَوْ قَالَ: فَمَنَعَنِيهَا فَقُلْتُ: حُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونًا، حُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونًا، حُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونًا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
✧ The plague struck Syria. Amr b. al-As said: "This punishment has come, so flee from it into the mountain passes and valleys." This reached Mu'adh, and he did not believe what he said. He said: "Rather, it is martyrdom, mercy, and the supplication of your Prophet ﷺ. O Allah, give Mu'adh and his family their share of Your mercy." Abu Qilabah said: I knew martyrdom and knew mercy, but did not know what the supplication of your Prophet was, until I was informed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying one night and said in his supplication: "Fever then, or plague," three times. When morning came, someone from his family said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, I heard you last night making a supplication!" He said: "Did you hear it?" He said: "Yes." He said: "I asked my Lord, Mighty and Majestic, not to destroy my community with a drought, and He granted me that. I asked Him not to set upon them an enemy from other than them who would make their lives permissible, and He granted me that. I asked Him not to make them into factions and make them taste each other's affliction, and He refused me—or he said: He withheld it from me.
