al-Adab al-Mufrad

ُالأدَبُ المُفْرَد

Collection of over 1,300 ḥadīths emphasizing Islamic etiquette, personal conduct, compassion, and social dealings: from parents and children to neighbors and servants. This collection is an extension of Imām al-Bukhārī’s Chapter of Adab (Etiquette) in his Ṣaḥīḥ. However, unlike Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, the Imām did not adhere strictly to the criteria of Ṣaḥīḥ narrations, though many ḥadīths here are Ṣaḥīḥ or Ḥasan. Full name: al-Adab al-Mufrad (الأدَبُ المُفْرَد) (The Separate ˹Book˺ on Etiquettes).Sources: sunnah.com for Arabic text and English translation. The English translation has been reviewed and improved by myself and other contributors.

Author: Abū ʿAbdullah M. Ismāʿīl al-Bukhārī (d. 256 H)

adab:458

Thabit reported that he was with Anas in a corner above one of his rooms. He said, "We heard the adhan and he came down and I came down as well. He took short stops and said, 'I was with Zayd ibn Thabit and I walked with him in this fashion. He said, "Do you know why I did it to you? The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, walked in this manner and he said, 'Do you know why I walked with you?' I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'So that there would be a greater number of steps in search of the prayer.'"'"  

الأدب المفرد:٤٥٨حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ نِبْرَاسٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ أَنَسٍ بِالزَّاوِيَةِ فَوْقَ غُرْفَةٍ لَهُ فَسَمِعَ الأَذَانَ فَنَزَلَ وَنَزَلْتُ فَقَارَبَ فِي الْخُطَا فَقَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فَمَشَى بِي هَذِهِ الْمِشْيَةَ وَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي لِمَ فَعَلْتُ بِكَ؟ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَشَى بِي هَذِهِ الْمِشْيَةَ وَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي لِمَ مَشَيْتُ بِكَ؟ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ لِيَكْثُرَ عَدَدُ خُطَانَا فِي طَلَبِ الصَّلاةِ
