He said, 'Fasting the month of Ramadan, unless you wish to do something voluntary.' He said, 'Tell me what Allah has made obligatory upon me of zakat.'

   "We were forbidden in the Quran to ask the Prophet about anything not imperative, so we liked it when a wise man from among the people of the desert came and asked him. A man from among the desert people came and said: 'O Muhammad, your messenger came to us and told us that you say that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has sent you.' He said: 'He spoke the truth.' He said: 'Who created the heavens?' He said: 'Allah.' He said: 'Who created the Earth?' He said: 'Allah.' He said: 'Who set up the mountains in it?' He said: 'Allah.' He said: 'Who created beneficial things in them?' He said: 'Allah.' He said: 'By the One Who created the heavens and the Earth, and set up the mountains therein, and created beneficial things in them, has Allah sent you?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Your messenger said that we have to offer five prayers each day and night.' He said: 'He spoke the truth.' He said: 'By the One Who sent you, has Allah commanded you to do this?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Your messenger said that we have to pay Zakah on our wealth.' He said: 'He spoke the truth.' He said: 'By the One Who sent you, has Allah commanded you to do this?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Your messenger said that we have to fast the month of Ramadan each year.' He said: 'He spoke the truth.' He said: 'By the One Who sent You, has Allah commanded you to do this?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Your messenger said that we have to perform Hajj, those who can afford it.' He said: 'He spoke the truth.' He said: 'By the One Who sent you, has Allah commanded you to do this?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'By the One Who sent you with the truth, I will not do more than this or less.' When he left, the Prophet said: 'If he is sincere, he will certainly enter paradise.'"

In it Allah has a night which is better than a thousand months; whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2106)

     ✧ From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he mentioned Ramadan and gave it precedence over all months, and said: “Whoever stands (in prayer) during Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, he will come out of his sins as on the day his mother gave birth to him.” Abu Abd al-Rahman said: This is a mistake, and the correct version is what we mentioned earlier. 2530 Ishaq b. Ibrahim informed us, he said: al-Nadr b. Shumayl informed us, he said: al-Qasim b. al-Fadl narrated to us, he said: al-Nadr b.

     ✧ To Ibn Mas'ud: "Would you like a young woman that I marry you to?" So 'Abd Allah called 'Alqamah and narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever among you is able to marry, let him marry, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity. And whoever is not able, let him fast, for fasting is a shield for him."

     ✧ Uthman: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to, meaning, a group of young men and said: "Whoever among you has the means, let him marry, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding chastity. And whoever does not, then fasting is a shield for him." Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: This Abu Ma'shar, his name is Ziyad b. Kulayb, and he is trustworthy. He is the companion of Ibrahim. Mansur, Mughirah, and Shu'bah narrated from him. And Abu Ma'shar al-Madani, his name is Najih, and he is weak. And along with his weakness, he had also become confused. He has rejected hadiths, among them: Muhammad b. 'Amr, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "Between the east and the west is a qiblah." And among them: Hisham b. 'Urwah, from his father, from 'A'ishah, from the Prophet ﷺ: "Do not cut meat with a knife, but gnaw it with your teeth," and other such reports.

Abu ʿAbd al-Raḥmān said: I saw books with this shaykh on other than this subject, and his ḥadīths resemble the ḥadīths of Muḥammad b. Abī Ḥumayd. He said: I do not know whether his hearing was from Muḥammad or from those shaykhs. As for the shaykh, he used to narrate to us from him and did not mention Muḥammad b. Abī Ḥumayd. If those ḥadīths are his from those shaykhs and he did not hear them from Muḥammad, then he is weak – meaning ʿUthmān – and Muḥammad b. Abī Ḥumayd is worth nothing in ḥadīth.

He said: So he met him and narrated it to him. He said: Al-Fadl narrated to me. Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: 'Umar b. Abi Bakr b. 'Abd al-Rahman contradicted both of them.

     أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ مَاءً نِكَاحًا مِنْ غَيْرِ احْتِلَامٍ ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ صَائِمًا فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِمَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا ذَهَبْتَ إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَحَدَّثْتَهُ هَذَا قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ إِنَّهُ لِي صِدِّيقٌ وَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ وَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ «مَنِ احْتَلَمَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ وَاقَعَ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَهُ الصُّبْحُ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَلَا يَصُمْ» قَالَ مَرْوَانُ عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا ذَهَبْتَ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ ذَاكَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَهِيَ أَعْلَمُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَّا إِنَّمَا كَانَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَاخْتَلَفَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ وَابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِيهِ

     ✧ That the Prophet ﷺ would go out to the dawn prayer with his head dripping water from intercourse, not from a wet dream, then begin the day fasting. 'Abd al-Rahman mentioned that to Marwan b. al-Hakam, so Marwan said: I swear by an oath: you must go to Abu Hurayrah and narrate this to him. 'Abd al-Rahman said: May Allah forgive you. He is a dear friend to me, and I do not like to rebut his statement. Abu Hurayrah used to say: 'Whoever has a wet dream at night or has intercourse, then dawn overtakes him and he performs ghusl, he should not fast.' Marwan said: I adjure you: you must go. So 'Abd al-Rahman went and informed him of that. Abu Hurayrah said: She is more knowledgeable about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than us. It was only Usamah b. Zayd who narrated that to me. Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: Abu Hazim and Ibn Jurayj disagreed concerning 'Abd al-Malik b. Abi Bakr in it.

     أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يقَولُ «مَنِ احْتَلَمَ وَعَلِمَ بِاحْتِلَامِهِ وَلَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ فَلَا يَصُمْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ» قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاسْأَلْ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَذَهَبَ وَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَحْتَلِمُ فَيَعْلَمُ بِاحْتِلَامِهِ وَلَا يَغْتَسِلُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ هَلْ يَصُومُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ؟ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ أَلَيْسَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَتْ «فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَيُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ احْتِلَامٍ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا كَمَا قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ» فَقَالَتْ لِي كَمَا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ احْتِلَامٍ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ فَأَتَيْتُ مَرْوَانَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ قَوْلَهُمَا فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ اخْتِلَافُهُمْ تَخَوُّفًا أَنْ يَكُونَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَرْوَانُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ لَمَا أَتَيْتَهُ فَحَدَّثْتَهُ أعَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَرْوِي هَذَا؟ قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا حَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ

     ✧ That Abu Hurayrah would say: 'Whoever has a wet dream and knows of his wet dream and does not perform ghusl until morning, he should not fast that day.' He said: Go and ask the wives of the Prophet ﷺ about that. So he went, and I went with him, until he came to 'A'ishah. He greeted at the door and said: A man has a wet dream and knows of his wet dream but does not perform ghusl until morning; should he fast that day? 'A'ishah said: O 'Abd al-Rahman, is there not for you in the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a good example? I said: Yes. She said: 'I testify concerning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he would wake up in a state of major ritual impurity without a wet dream, then fast that day.' Then I left until I came to Umm Salamah, and I said to her the same as I had said to 'A'ishah. She said to me the same as 'A'ishah said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wake up in a state of major ritual impurity without a wet dream, then fast. So I came to Marwan and informed him of their statements. The difference among them was hard on him, fearing that Abu Hurayrah was narrating it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Marwan said to 'Abd al-Rahman: I adjure you: go to him and narrate to him: Are you narrating this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: No, only so-and-so and so-and-so narrated to me. So I returned to Marwan and informed him.

     أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ جُنُبًا فَلَا يَصُمْ فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَبُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَتَّى دَخَلَا عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ فَكِلَاهُمَا قَالَتْ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا ثُمَّ يَصُومُ» فَانْطَلَقَا إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَأَخْبَرَاهُ فَقَالَ هُمَا قَالَتَاهُ لَكُمَا؟ قَالَا نَعَمْ قَالَ هُمَا أَعْلَمُ إِنَّمَا أَنْبَأَنِيهِ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَوَاهُ سُمَيٌّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا عِلْمَ لِي إِنَّمَا أَخْبَرَنِيهِ مُخْبِرٌ

     ✧ That he heard Abu Hurayrah say: Whoever wakes up in a state of major ritual impurity should not fast. So Abu Bakr and his father 'Abd al-Rahman went until they entered upon Umm Salamah and 'A'ishah, and both of them said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would wake up in a state of major ritual impurity, then fast.' So they went to Abu Hurayrah and informed him. He said: Did they say that to you? They said: Yes. He said: They are more knowledgeable. It was only al-Fadl b. 'Abbas who informed me of it. Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: Sumayy narrated it from Abu Bakr from Abu Hurayrah that he said: I have no knowledge of it; only an informant told me.

     أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ جُنُبًا أَفْطَرَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ مَرْوَانُ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ لَتَذْهَبَنَّ إِلَى أُمَّيِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَائِشَةَ وَأَمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَلْتَسْأَلَنَّهُمَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّا كُنَّا عِنْدَ مَرْوَانَ فَذُكِرَ لَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ جُنُبًا أَفْطَرَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ «أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ جِمَاعٍ غَيْرِ احْتِلَامٍ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ» ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا فَقَالَتْ كَمَا قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى جِئْنَا مَرْوَانَ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مَا قَالَتَا قَالَ مَرْوَانُ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَتَرْكَبَنَّ دَابَّتِي فَإِنَّهَا بِالْبَابِ فَلْتَذْهَبَنَّ إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَإِنَّهُ بِأَرْضِهِ بِالْعَقِيقِ فَلَتُخْبِرَنَّهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَكِبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَرَكِبْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَتَحَدَّثَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مَعَهُ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ لَا عِلْمَ لِي إِنَّمَا أَخْبَرَنِيهِ مُخْبِرٌ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَوَاهُ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ بِقَوْلِ عَائِشَةَ وَأَمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا كُنْتُ أَحْسِبُ وَلَمْ يُحِلْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ

     ✧ That Abu Hurayrah would say: Whoever wakes up in a state of major ritual impurity has broken his fast for that day. Marwan said: I adjure you, O 'Abd al-Rahman, to go to the Mothers of the Believers, 'A'ishah and Umm Salamah, and ask them about that. So 'Abd al-Rahman went, and I went with him, until we entered upon 'A'ishah. 'Abd al-Rahman greeted her and said: O Mother of the Believers, we were with Marwan, and it was mentioned to him that Abu Hurayrah says: Whoever wakes up in a state of major ritual impurity has broken his fast for that day. 'A'ishah said: 'I testify concerning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he would wake up in a state of major ritual impurity from intercourse, not a wet dream, then fast that day.' Then we left and entered upon Umm Salamah, and he asked her, and she said the same as 'A'ishah said. So we left until we came to Marwan, and 'Abd al-Rahman mentioned to him what they said. Marwan said: I adjure you, O Abu Muhammad, to ride my mount, for it is at the door, and go to Abu Hurayrah, for he is on his land at al-'Aqiq, and inform him of that. Abu Bakr said: So 'Abd al-Rahman rode, and I rode with him, until we came to Abu Hurayrah. 'Abd al-Rahman spoke with him for a while, then mentioned it to him. Abu Hurayrah said: I have no knowledge of it; only an informant told me. Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: Abu Qilabah narrated it from 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Harith that he informed Abu Hurayrah of the statement of 'A'ishah and Umm Salamah, and he said: This is what I thought, and he did not attribute it to anyone.
