    أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ اللُّتْبِيَّةِ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِيُحَاسِبَهُ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا لَكُمْ، وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنَّا نَسْتَعْمِلُ رِجَالًا مِنْكُمْ عَلَى مَا وَلَّانَا اللهُ، فَإِذَا قَدِمَ أَحَدُكُمْ قَالَ: هَذَا لَكُمْ، وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ إِلَيَّ، فَهَلَّا جَلَسَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ فَيَنْظُرُ مَا يُهْدَى إِلَيْهِ، مَنْ عَمِلَ لَنَا مِنْكُمْ عَمَلًا فَلْيَأْتِنَا بِقَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ، وَلِيَحْذَرْ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِبَعِيرٍ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ لَهُ رُغَاءٌ أَوْ بَقَرَةٍ لَهَا خُوَارٌ أَوْ شَاةٍ تَيْعَرُ

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed a man from the Ansar, known as Ibn al-Lutbiyyah, to collect zakah. When he returned, the Prophet ﷺ sent for him to settle his accounts. He said: 'This is for you, and this was given to me as a gift.' This reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: 'We appoint men from among you over what Allah has entrusted to us. When one of you returns, he says: "This is for you, and this was given to me as a gift." Why does he not sit in the house of his father and mother and see whether he would be given gifts? Whoever among you does any work for us, let him bring us all of it, whether little or much. Let any of you beware of coming on the Day of Resurrection with a camel that he carries on his neck, bellowing, or a cow that lows, or a sheep that bleats.'

    مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُصْبِحُ صَائِمًا إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ، وَسَبَّحَتْ لَهُ أَعْضَاؤُهُ، وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى أَنْ تَوَارَى بِالْحِجَابِ، فَإِنْ صَلَّى رَكْعَةً أَوْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَطَوُّعًا أَضَاءَتْ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ نُورًا، وَقُلْنَ أَزْوَاجُهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ: اللَّهُمَّ اقْبِضْهُ إِلَيْنَا فَقَدِ اشْتَقْنَا إِلَى رُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ هُوَ هَلَّلَ أَوْ سَبَّحَ أَوْ كَبَّرَ تَلَقَّتْهُ مَلَائِكَةٌ يَكْتُبُونَهَا إِلَى أَنْ تَوَارَى بِالْحِجَابِ

    ✧ No servant begins the day fasting except that the gates of heaven are opened for him, his limbs glorify Allah for him, and the inhabitants of the lowest heaven seek forgiveness for him until the sun sets. If he prays one or two rak'ahs voluntarily, the heavens shine with light for him, and his wives from among the houris say: 'O Allah, take his soul to us, for we long to see him.' If he says 'la ilaha illallah', or glorifies Allah, or says 'Allahu akbar', angels receive those words and record them until the sun sets.

    ✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and there were few riding camels, so we discussed what would suffice us of riding camels.

    ✧ The example of the one who is lenient concerning the command of Allah and the one who upholds the rights of Allah is like the example of a people who boarded a ship. One of them found a place and said, 'O these people, your path and passage is over me, and I am going to bore a hole here to perform ablution from it, draw water from it, and relieve myself in it.'

    خَطَبَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَيَعْتَذِرَنَّ [ لَيَعْذُرَنَّ ] اللهُ تَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى آدَمَ ثَلَاثَ مَعَاذِيرَ يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى: يَا آدَمُ، لَوْلَا أَنِّي لَعَنْتُ الْكَذَّابِينَ، وَأَبْغَضْتُ الْكَذِبَ وَالْخُلْفَ، وَأُعَذِّبُ عَلَيْهِ لَرَحِمْتُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَدَكَ أَجْمَعِينَ مِنْ شِدَّةِ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ، وَلَكِنْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنِّي لَئِنْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلِي وَعُصِيَ أَمْرِي [ رُسُلِي ]، لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، وَيَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: يَا آدَمُ، اعْلَمْ أَنِّي لَا أُدْخِلُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ النَّارَ أَحَدًا، وَلَا أُعَذِّبُ بِالنَّارِ إِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ بِعِلْمِي أَنِّي لَوْ رَدَدْتُهُ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا لَعَادَ إِلَى شَرِّ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ [ فِيهِ ]، وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ، وَلَمْ يَعْتِبْ، وَيَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى: يَا آدَمُ، قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ حَكَمًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ، قُمْ عِنْدَ الْمِيزَانِ، فَانْظُرْ مَا يُرْفَعُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِمْ، فَمَنْ رَجَحَ مِنْهُمْ خَيْرُهُ عَلَى شَرِّهِ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ أَنِّي لَا أُدْخِلُ مِنْهُمُ النَّارَ إِلَّا ظَالِمًا

    ✧ Abu Hurayrah addressed us from the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah, the Exalted, will surely offer Adam three excuses on the Day of Resurrection. Allah, the Exalted, will say: 'O Adam, were it not that I have cursed the liars, and I hate lying and breaking promises, and I punish for it, I would have had mercy today on all your descendants due to the severity of the punishment I have prepared for them. But the word from Me has become binding: if My messengers are denied and My command is disobeyed, I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.' And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will say: 'O Adam, know that I will not admit anyone of your offspring into the Fire, nor punish with the Fire except one whom I know by My knowledge that, were I to return him to the world, he would return to the worst of what he was doing and would not turn back or repent.' And Allah, the Exalted, will say: 'O Adam, I have appointed you as an arbiter between Me and your descendants. Stand by the Scale and look at what is raised to you of their deeds. Whoever's good outweighs his evil by the weight of a grain, his is Paradise, so that you may know that I do not admit any of them into the Fire except a wrongdoer.'

    ✧ O my son, keep my secret, and you will be a believer. I have never disclosed his secret to anyone, even if it were my mother. The wives of the Prophet ﷺ ask me to tell them his secret, but I do not tell them, and I will never tell anyone his secret. Then he said: O my son, perfect your ablution, and your lifespan will be increased, and your two guardian angels will love you. Then he said: O my son, if you are able not to spend a night except in a state of ablution, then do so, for whoever death comes to while he is in a state of ablution will be given martyrdom. Then he said: O my son, if you are able to keep praying without ceasing, then do so, for the angels will keep praying for you as long as you keep praying. Then he said: O my son, beware of turning around in prayer, for turning around in prayer is destruction. If it is unavoidable, then in voluntary prayer, not in the obligatory prayer. Then he said to me: O my son, when you bow, place your palms on your knees, spread your fingers apart, and raise your hands away from your sides. When you raise your head from bowing, let every limb return to its proper position, for Allah will not look on the Day of Resurrection at one who does not straighten his backbone in his bowing and prostration. Then he said: O my son, when you prostrate, do not peck as a rooster pecks, and do not sit as a dog sits, and do not spread your forearms as a beast of prey spreads them. Spread the tops of your feet on the ground, and place your buttocks on your heels, for that will be easier for you on the Day of Resurrection in your reckoning. Then he said: O my son, be thorough in washing from major ritual impurity, and you will come out of your bath with no sin and no error upon you. I said: May my father and mother be your ransom, what is thoroughness? He said: You wet the roots of your hair and cleanse the skin. Then he said to me: O my son, if you are able to make some of your prayers in your house, then do so, for it increases the good of your house. Then he said to me: O my son, when you enter upon your family, greet them with peace, and it will be a blessing upon you and upon your household. Then he said: O my son, when you leave your house, let not your gaze fall upon anyone of the people of the Qiblah except that you greet him with peace, and you will return with your good deeds increased. Then he said: O my son, if you are able to pass the evening and morning with no deceit in your heart toward anyone, then do so. Then he said to me: O my son, when you leave your family, let not your gaze fall upon anyone of the people of the Qiblah except that you think he has more merit than you. Then he said to me: O my son, if you preserve my advice, then let nothing be dearer to you than death. Then he said to me: O my son, that is from my Sunnah. Whoever revives my Sunnah has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise. - This is not reported from Anas in this complete form except with this chain.

    كَانَ لِيَعْقُوبَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَخٌ مُؤَاخِي، فَقَالَ لَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ: يَا يَعْقُوبُ، مَا الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ بَصَرَكَ ؟ مَا الَّذِي قَوَّسَ ظَهْرَكَ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ بَصَرِي فَالْبُكَاءُ عَلَى يُوسُفَ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي قَوَّسَ ظَهْرِي فَالْحُزْنُ عَلَى ابْنِي يَامِينَ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، فَقَالَ: يَا يَعْقُوبُ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ، وَيَقُولُ لَكَ: أَمَا تَسْتَحِي أَنْ تَشْكُوَنِي إِلَى غَيْرِي ؟ فَقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ: إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللهِ، فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَشْكُو يَا يَعْقُوبُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، أَمَا تَرْحَمُ الشَّيْخَ الْكَبِيرَ، أَذْهَبْتَ بَصَرِي، وَقَوَّسْتَ ظَهْرِي، فَارْدُدْ عَلَيَّ رَيْحَانَتِي يُوسُفَ أَشُمُّهُ شَمَّةً قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ، ثُمَّ اصْنَعْ بِي يَا رَبِّ مَا شِئْتَ، فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا يَعْقُوبُ، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ، وَيَقُولُ لَكَ: أَبْشِرْ، وَلْيَفْرَحْ قَلْبُكَ، فَوَعِزَّتِي وَجَلَالِي لَوْ كَانَا مَيِّتَيْنِ لَنَشَرْتُهُمَا لَكَ، فَاصْنَعْ طَعَامًا لِلْمَسَاكِينِ؛ فَإِنَّ أَحَبَّ عِبَادِي إِلَيَّ الْمَسَاكِينُ، وَتَدْرِي لِمَ أَذْهَبْتُ بَصَرَكَ، وَقَوَّسْتُ ظَهْرَكَ، وَصَنَعَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ بِيُوسُفَ مَا صَنَعُوا ؟ لِأَنَّكُمْ ذَبَحْتُمْ شَاةً، فَأَتَاكُمْ فُلَانٌ الْمِسْكِينُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمُوهُ مِنْهَا، وَكَانَ يَعْقُوبُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْغَدَاءَ أَمَرَ مُنَادِيًا فَنَادَى: أَلَا مَنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا مِنَ الْمَسَاكِينِ فَلْيُفْطِرْ مَعَ يَعْقُوبَ

    ✧ Jacob ﷺ had a brotherly friend. One day he said to him: 'O Jacob, what took away your sight? What bent your back?' He said: 'As for what took away my sight, it was weeping over Joseph. As for what bent my back, it was grief over my son Benjamin.' Then Gabriel ﷺ came to him and said: 'O Jacob, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sends you greetings of peace, and says to you: Are you not ashamed to complain of Me to other than Me?' Jacob said: 'I only complain of my anguish and grief to Allah.' Gabriel said: 'Allah knows best what you complain of, O Jacob.' Then Jacob ﷺ said: 'O Lord, will You not have mercy on an old man? You have taken away my sight and bent my back. Return to me my fragrant one, Joseph, that I may smell him one whiff before death. Then do with me, O Lord, what You will.' Then Gabriel ﷺ came to him and said: 'O Jacob, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sends you greetings of peace, and says to you: Rejoice, and let your heart be glad. By My might and majesty, even if they were dead, I would raise them up for you. Make food for the poor, for the dearest of My servants to Me are the poor. Do you know why I took away your sight and bent your back, and why Joseph's brothers did what they did to Joseph? Because you slaughtered a sheep, and a certain poor man came to you while fasting, and you did not feed him from it.' After that, whenever Jacob wanted to eat, he would order a caller to announce: 'Is there any poor person fasting? Let him break his fast with Jacob.'

    أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ؟ وَأَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَى اللهِ أَنْفَعُهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ، وَأَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللهِ سُرُورٌ تُدْخِلُهُ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ، أَوْ تَكْشِفُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً، أَوْ تَقْضِي عَنْهُ دَيْنًا، أَوْ تَطْرُدُ عَنْهُ جُوعًا، وَلَأَنْ أَمْشِيَ مَعَ أَخٍ لِي فِي حَاجَةٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتَكِفَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ شَهْرًا فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَمَنْ كَفَّ غَضَبَهُ سَتَرَ اللهُ عَوْرَتَهُ، وَمَنْ كَظَمَ غَيْظَهُ وَلَوْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُمْضِيَهُ أَمْضَاهُ؛ مَلَأَ اللهُ قَلْبَهُ رَجَاءً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْ مَشَى مَعَ أَخِيهِ فِي حَاجَةٍ حَتَّى يُثَبِّتَهَا لَهُ ثَبَّتَ اللهُ قَدَمَهُ يَوْمَ تَزُولُ الْأَقْدَامُ

    ✧ A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, which of the people is dearest to Allah, and which of the deeds is dearest to Allah? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The dearest of people to Allah is the most beneficial of them to people. The dearest of deeds to Allah is joy that you bring to a Muslim, or you relieve him of a distress, or you pay off a debt for him, or you drive away hunger from him. And to walk with my brother to fulfill a need is dearer to me than to seclude myself in this mosque for a month in the Mosque of Madinah. Whoever restrains his anger, Allah will cover his faults. Whoever suppresses his rage, even if he could have given vent to it, Allah will fill his heart with hope on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever walks with his brother to fulfill a need until he establishes it for him, Allah will make his feet firm on the day when feet slip.

     أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْحَلِيمَ كَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ نَبِيًّا ! ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: وَاللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى، لَا آمَنْتُ بِكَ ! وَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ، مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنْ قُلْتَ مَا قُلْتَ، وَقُلْتَ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ، وَلَمْ تُكْرِمْ مَجْلِسِي ؟ قَالَ: وَتُكَلِّمُنِي اسْتِخْفَافًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ، وَاللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى لَا آمَنْتُ بِكَ أَوْ يُؤْمِنُ بِكَ هَذَا الضَّبُّ ! فَأَخْرَجَ الضَّبَّ مِنْ كُمِّهِ، وَطَرَحَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَقَالَ: إِنْ آمَنَ بِكَ هَذَا الضَّبُّ آمَنْتُ بِكَ ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا ضَبُّ ! فَتَكَلَّمَ الضَّبُّ بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُبِينٍ يَفْهَمُهُ الْقَوْمُ جَمِيعًا: لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ! فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ تَعْبُدُ ؟ قَالَ: الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ عَرْشُهُ، وَفِي الْأَرْضِ سُلْطَانُهُ، وَفِي الْبَحْرِ سَبِيلُهُ، وَفِي الْجَنَّةِ رَحْمَتُهُ، وَفِي النَّارِ عَذَابُهُ ! قَالَ: فَمَنْ أَنَا يَا ضَبُّ ؟ قَالَ: أَنْتَ رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَخَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ، قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ صَدَّقَكَ، وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ كَذَّبَكَ ! فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ حَقًّا ! وَاللهِ لَقَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ وَمَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ أَبْغَضُ إِلَيَّ مِنْكَ، وَوَاللهِ لَأَنْتَ السَّاعَةَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَمِنْ وَلدِي؛ فَقَدْ آمَنَ بِكَ شَعَرِي وَبَشَرِي، وَدَاخِلِي، وَسِرِّي وَعَلَانِيَتِي ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي هَدَاكَ إِلَى هَذَا الدِّينِ الَّذِي يَعْلُو وَلَا يُعْلَى، لَا يَقْبَلُهُ اللهُ إِلَّا بِصَلَاةٍ، وَلَا يَقْبَلُ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا بِقُرْآنٍ. فَعَلَّمَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ، وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ. فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِيَ الْبَسِيطِ وَلَا فِي الرَّجَزِ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا ! فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ هَذَا كَلَامُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، وَلَيْسَ بِشِعْرٍ. وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ مَرَّةً فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَأْتَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ، وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَأْتَ ثُلُثَيِ الْقُرْآنِ، وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ كُلَّهُ. فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: نِعْمَ الْإِلَهُ إِلَهُنَا؛ يَقْبَلُ الْيَسَرَ، وَيُعْطِي الْجَزِيلَ ! ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَعْطُوا الْأَعْرَابِيَّ ! فَأَعْطَوْهُ حَتَّى أَبْطَرُوهُ. فَقَامَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُعْطِيَهُ نَاقَةً أَتَقَرَّبُ بِهَا إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ دُونَ الْبُخْتِيِّ وَفَوْقَ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ وَهِيَ عُشَرَاءُ ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّكَ قَدْ وَصَفْتَ مَا تُعْطِي، وَأَصِفُ لَكَ مَا يُعْطِيكَ اللهُ جَزَاءً ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: لَكَ نَاقَةٌ مِنْ دُرٍّ، جَوْفَاءُ، قَوَائِمُهَا مِنْ زَبَرْجَدٍ أَخْضَرَ، وَعُنُقُهَا مِنْ زَبَرْجَدٍ أَصْفَرَ، عَلَيْهَا هَوْدَجٌ، وَعَلَى الْهَوْدَجِ السُّنْدُسُ وَالْإِسْتَبْرَقُ. تَمُرُّ بِكَ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ كَالْبَرْقِ الْخَاطِفِ. فَخَرَجَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَقِيَهُ أَلْفُ أَعْرَابِيٍّ عَلَى أَلْفِ دَابَّةٍ بِأَلْفِ رُمْحٍ وَأَلْفِ سَيْفٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: أَيْنَ تُرِيدُونَ ؟ قَالُوا: نُقَاتِلُ هَذَا الَّذِي يَكْذِبُ، وَيَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ ! فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ ! فَقَالُوا: صَبَوْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا صَبَوْتُ ! وَحَدَّثَهُمْ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالُوا بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ ! فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ فِي رِدَاءٍ. فَنَزَلُوا عَلَى رُكَبِهِمْ يُقَبِّلُونَ مَا وَلَوْا مِنْهُ، وَيَقُولُونَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ ! فَقَالُوا: مُرْنَا بِأَمْرِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ! فَقَالَ: تَدْخُلُوا تَحْتَ رَايَةِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ. قَالَ: فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ آمَنَ مِنْهُمْ أَلْفٌ جَمِيعًا إِلَّا بَنُو سُلَيْمٍ. - لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ بِهَذَا التَّمَامِ إِلَّا كَهْمَسٌ، وَلَا عَنْ كَهْمَسٍ إِلَّا مُعْتَمِرٌ. تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى.

     ✧ Did you not know that the forbearing man was about to be a prophet! Then he turned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'By al-Lat and al-'Uzza, I will not believe in you!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said to him, 'O Bedouin, what made you say what you said? You spoke untruth and did not honour my gathering.' He said, 'And you speak to me belittling the Messenger of Allah. By al-Lat and al-'Uzza, I will not believe in you unless this lizard believes in you!' He took out a lizard from his sleeve and threw it before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'If this lizard believes in you, I will believe in you!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O lizard!' The lizard spoke in clear Arabic that all the people understood: 'At your service and at your pleasure, O Messenger of the Lord of the worlds!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to it, 'Whom do you worship?' It said, 'The One whose Throne is in the heaven, whose authority is in the earth, whose path is in the sea, whose mercy is in Paradise, and whose punishment is in the Fire.' He said, 'Who am I, O lizard?' It said, 'You are the Messenger of the Lord of the worlds and the Seal of the Prophets. He who believes in you has succeeded, and he who denies you has failed.' The Bedouin said, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that you are truly the Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I came to you while there was no one on the face of the earth more hateful to me than you, and by Allah, at this moment you are dearer to me than myself and my child. My hair, my skin, my inner self, my secret and my open self have all believed in you!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Praise be to Allah who has guided you to this religion, which rises and is not risen above. Allah does not accept it except with prayer, and He does not accept prayer except with Qur'an.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught him al-hamdu lillah and Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad. He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I have never heard in simple speech or poetry anything more beautiful than this!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'This is the speech of the Lord of the worlds, and it is not poetry. If you recite Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad once, it is as if you have recited a third of the Qur'an. If you recite it twice, it is as if you have recited two thirds of the Qur'an. If you recite it three times, it is as if you have recited the entire Qur'an.' The Bedouin said, 'What an excellent god our God is; He accepts the easy and gives greatly!' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Give to the Bedouin!' So they gave him until they made him overwhelmed. 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Awf stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I wish to give him a she-camel to draw near to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, one that is less than a Bukhti camel but above an ordinary Bedouin camel, and it is pregnant.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You have described what you will give. Shall I describe for you what Allah will give you in return?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'You will have a she-camel of pearl, hollow, its legs of green chrysolite, its neck of yellow chrysolite, upon it a howdah, and on the howdah fine silk and brocade. It will pass with you over the Sirat like a flash of lightning.' The Bedouin left from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and met a thousand Bedouins on a thousand mounts with a thousand spears and a thousand swords. He said to them, 'Where are you heading?' They said, 'We are going to fight this one who lies and claims to be a prophet!' The Bedouin said, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah!' They said, 'Have you apostatized?' He said, 'I have not apostatized!' He told them this account, and they all said, 'There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah!' This reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he met them wrapped in a cloak. They dismounted on their knees, kissing what they had turned away from, and saying, 'There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah!' They said, 'Command us with your command, O Messenger of Allah!' He said, 'Enter under the banner of Khalid b. al-Walid.' He said: 'There is no group from the Arabs, a thousand all together, who believed except the Banu Sulaym.' - None narrated it from Dawud b. Abi Hind with this full text except Kahmas, and none from Kahmas except Mu'tamir. Muhammad b. 'Abd al-A'la was alone in narrating it.

And you must remember God and recite His Book, for it is a light for you on earth and a remembrance for you in heaven! And restrain your tongue except from good, for then you will overcome Satan.”

     ✧ One day the Messenger of God ﷺ made a mark on the ground with a stick, then raised his head and said, “There is no soul that is born but that its place in Paradise and Hell has been written, and whether it is wretched or felicitous.” A man from the group said, “O Messenger of God, should we then abandon deeds?” He said, “No, but act, for everyone is facilitated. As for the people of felicity, they are facilitated toward felicity, and as for the people of wretchedness, they are facilitated toward wretchedness.” Then he recited: “As for him who gives and fears and affirms the best.”

     ✧ On the day of the conquest, the Messenger of God ﷺ entered upon Umm Hani’ bt. Abi Talib, and he was hungry. She said to him, “O Messenger of God, some in-laws of mine have sought refuge with me, and ‘Ali b. Abi Talib is not deterred by any critic’s reproach in the cause of God, and I fear that he will find out about them and kill them. So grant safety to whoever enters the house of Umm Hani’ until he hears the word of God!” So the Messenger of God ﷺ granted them safety and said, “We have granted protection to whomever Umm Hani’ has granted protection!” Then he said, “Do you have any food for us to eat?” She said, “I have nothing but dry pieces of bread, and I am embarrassed to offer them to you.” He said, “Bring them,” and he broke them into water, and she brought salt. He said, “Is there any condiment?” She said, “I have nothing but a little vinegar, O Messenger of God.” He said, “Bring it.” She poured it over his food, and he ate from it, then praised God, Mighty and Majestic, and said, “How excellent a condiment vinegar is! O Umm Hani’, no house that has vinegar will be devoid of sustenance.”

     ✧ The Prophet ﷺ delayed the later 'Isha' prayer one night for a little while, then came out to us and said: 'What are you waiting for?' They said: 'The prayer.' He said: 'Indeed, you will continue to be in prayer as long as you wait for it.' Then he raised his gaze to the sky and said: 'The stars are a safeguard for the inhabitants of the sky, and when the stars depart, what they are promised will come to the inhabitants of the sky. I am a safeguard for my Companions, and when I depart, what my Companions are promised will come to them. My Companions are a safeguard for my Ummah, and when my Companions depart, what my Ummah is promised will come to it. Begin the prayer, O Bilal.'

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent the night with her on her night. He got up to perform ablution for prayer, and she heard him saying during his ablution: 'Labbayk, Labbayk!' three times, and 'Nusirta, nusirta!' three times. When he came out, I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I heard you saying during your ablution: "Labbayk, Labbayk" three times, and "Nusirta, nusirta" three times, as if you were speaking to a person. Was there anyone with you?' He said: 'This is the poet of Banu Ka'b calling for my aid, claiming that Quraysh helped Banu Bakr against them.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and ordered 'A'ishah to prepare his provisions, and not to inform anyone. She said: Abu Bakr entered upon her and said: 'O my daughter, what is this preparation?' She said: 'By Allah, I do not know.' He said: 'By Allah, this is not the time to raid Banu al-Asfar, so where does the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intend to go?' She said: 'By Allah, I have no knowledge.' She said: We stayed for three days, then he prayed the morning prayer with the people, and I heard the poet reciting: 'O Lord, I invoke Muhammad, the covenant of our father and his father, the ancient. We gave birth to you, and you were a son. Then we submitted and did not withdraw a hand. Indeed Quraysh broke their promise to you and violated your confirmed covenant. They claimed that you do not call anyone. So grant victory, may Allah guide you, a mighty victory. And call the servants of Allah, they will come as reinforcement. Among them the Messenger of Allah has come forth. If he is threatened with humiliation, his face darkens.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Labbayk, Labbayk!' three times, and 'Nusirta, nusirta' three times. Then the Prophet ﷺ went out. When he was at al-Rawha', he looked at a towering cloud and said: 'This cloud itself towers with the victory of Banu Ka'b.' A man from 'Adiyy b. 'Amr, the brother of Banu Ka'b b. 'Amr, stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, and the victory of Banu 'Adiyy?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'May your chest be in the dust! Is 'Adiyy anything but Ka'b, and Ka'b anything but 'Adiyy?' That man was martyred on that journey. Then the Prophet ﷺ said: 'O Allah, conceal our news from them until we take them by surprise.' Then he went out until he camped at Marr. Abu Sufyan b. Harb, Hakim b. Hizam, and Budayl b. Warqa' went out that night until they overlooked Marr. Abu Sufyan looked at the fires and said: 'O Budayl, this is the fire of Banu Ka'b, your people!' He said: 'War has stirred them against you!' Muzaynah captured them that night, for they were the guards. They asked to be taken to al-'Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib, so they were taken to him. Abu Sufyan asked him to seek protection for them from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He brought them until he entered upon the Prophet ﷺ, and asked him to grant protection to whomever he (al-'Abbas) protected. He said: 'I have protected whomever you protect, except Abu Sufyan!' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do not restrict me!' He said: 'Whomever you protect, he is safe!' Then al-'Abbas brought them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then he took them out. Abu Sufyan said: 'We intend to leave.' He said: 'Go forth in the morning.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up to perform ablution, and the Muslims rushed to his ablution water, sprinkling it on their faces. Abu Sufyan said: 'O Abu al-Fadl, your nephew's dominion has become great!' He said: 'It is not dominion, but prophethood, and in that they desire.'

     ✧ A man said to the Prophet ﷺ: "I find within myself such a thing that to be a burnt cinder would be dearer to me than to speak of it!" He said: "That is pure faith."

     حَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلَّذِينَ يَتَصَادَقُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِي، وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلَّذِينَ يَتَنَاصَرُونَ مِنْ أَجْلِي، وَمَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ يُقَدِّمُ اللهُ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَوْلَادٍ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ، لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ

     خَرَجَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ لِطَلَبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ، فَطَلَبَهُ فِي بُيُوتِهِ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ، فَأَتْبَعَهُ فِي سِكَّةٍ سِكَّةٍ حَتَّى دُلَّ عَلَيْهِ فِي جَبَلِ ثَوَابٍ، فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى رَقِيَ جَبَلَ ثَوَابٍ، فَنَظَرَ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا، فَبَصُرَ بِهِ فِي الْكَهْفِ الَّذِي اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الْفَتْحِ، قَالَ مُعَاذٌ: فَإِذَا هُوَ سَاجِدٌ، فَهَبَطْتُ مِنْ رَأْسِ الْجَبَلِ، وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ، فَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى أَسَأْتُ بِهِ الظَّنَّ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنْ قَدْ قُبِضَ، فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَقَدْ أَسَأْتُ بِكَ الظَّنَّ، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ قَدْ قُبِضْتَ، فَقَالَ: جَاءَنِي جِبْرِيلُ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ - بِهَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ، وَيَقُولُ لَكَ: مَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ أَصْنَعَ بِأُمَّتِكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَذَهَبَ، ثُمَّ جَاءَنِي، فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: لَا أَسُوءُكَ فِي أُمَّتِكَ، فَسَجَدْتُ؛ فَأَفْضَلُ مَا يُتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ إِلَى اللهِ السُّجُودُ

     ✧ Mu'adh b. Jabal went out seeking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but he did not find him. He searched for him in his houses but did not find him. He followed him from lane to lane until he was directed to him on Mount Thawab. He went out and climbed Mount Thawab, looked right and left, and caught sight of him in the cave that people had taken as a path to the Mosque of Victory. Mu'adh said: "There he was, prostrating. I descended from the top of the mountain while he was prostrating, and he did not raise his head until I thought ill of him, thinking that he had been taken in death. When he raised his head, I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I thought ill of you, thinking that you had passed away.' He said: 'Jibril ﷺ came to me in this spot and said: "Verily Allah, Mighty and Majestic, sends you greetings of peace and says to you: What would you love Me to do with your nation?" I said: "Allah knows best." He departed, then came back to me and said: "He says: I will not cause you grief regarding your nation." So I prostrated. The best means by which one draws near to Allah is prostration.'"

     أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَدَّ نِكَاحَ بِكْرٍ وَثَيِّبٍ أَنْكَحَهُمَا أَبَوَاهُمَا وَهُمَا كَارِهَتَانِ

     إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ الْمُسْلِمُ، فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ كُفِّرَ بِهِ مَا عَمِلَتْهُ يَدَاهُ، فَإِذَا غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ كُفِّرَ عَنْهُ مَا نَظَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ عَيْنَاهُ، فَإِذَا مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ كُفِّرَ عَنْهُ مَا سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَاهُ، فَإِذَا غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ كُفِّرَ عَنْهُ مَا مَشَتْ إِلَيْهِ قَدَمَاهُ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، فَهِيَ فَضِيلَةٌ

     ✧ When a Muslim performs ablution and washes his hands, the sins his hands committed are expiated. When he washes his face, the sins his eyes looked upon are expiated. When he wipes his head, the sins his ears heard are expiated. When he washes his feet, the sins his feet walked toward are expiated. Then he stands for prayer, and that is an additional merit.

     خَدَمْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ مَا دَرَيْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ وَافَقَهُ، وَلَا شَيْئًا قَطُّ خَالَفَهُ رِضَاءً مِنَ اللهِ - تَعَالَى - بِمَا كَانَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ بَعْضُ أَزْوَاجِهِ لَتَقُولُ: لَوْ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، مَا لَكَ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ يَقُولُ: دَعُوهُ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا مَا أَرَادَ اللهُ، وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ انْتَقَمَ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ لِلهِ - حُرْمَةٌ، فَإِذَا انْتُهِكَتْ لِلهِ - حُرْمَةٌ، كَانَ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ غَضَبًا لِلهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ -، وَمَا عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَانِ قَطُّ إِلَّا اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلهِ فِيهِ سَخَطٌ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لِلهِ فِيهِ سَخَطٌ كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ

     ✧ I served the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for ten years, and I never knew of anything that I did that suited him or anything that I did that displeased him, out of contentment with what Allah, Exalted, had decreed. Some of his wives would say: "If only you had done such and such; why did you do such and such?" He would say: "Leave him, for nothing occurs except what Allah wills." I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ take revenge for himself over anything, unless a sacred ordinance of Allah was violated. When a sacred ordinance of Allah was violated, he was the most intense of people in anger for Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Never were two matters presented to him but that he chose the easier of them, as long as it did not entail Allah's displeasure. If it entailed Allah's displeasure, he was the farthest of people from it.
