The Prophet ﷺ said: The best things with which grey hair are changed are henna and katam. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4205)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ مَا غُيِّرَ بِهِ الشَّيْبُ الْحِنَّاءُ وَالْكَتَمُ  

[Machine] To me, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Dharr, there will be rulers over you who will delay the prayer from its appointed time. If you happen to catch them, then pray the prayer at its time. And perhaps he mentioned during your journey, then approach them. If you find that they have already prayed, then you have indeed prayed. But if you find that they have not prayed, then you should pray with them, and it will be a voluntary prayer for you."  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِهَا فَإِنْ أَنْتَ أَدْرَكْتَهُمْ فَصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ فِي رَحْلِكَ ثُمَّ ائْتِهِمْ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهُمْ قَدْ صَلَّوْا كُنْتَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهُمْ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا صَلَّيْتَ مَعَهُمْ فَتَكُونُ لَكَ نَافِلَةً  

"I come to the Prophet while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah. When he saw me coming he said: 'They are the losers, by the Lord of the Ka'bah!' I said: 'what's happening? Perhaps something has been revealed concerning me.' I said: 'Who are they, may my father said mother be ransomed for you?' He said: "those who have a lot of wealth, except one who does like this, and like this, and like this,' (motioning) in front of him, and to his right, and to his left. Then he said: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, no man dies leaving camels, or cattle, or sheep on which he did not pay the Zakah, but they will come on the Day of Resurrection as big and fat as they ever were, trampling him with their hooves and goring him with their horns. Every time the last of them runs over him, the first of them will come back, until judgment is passed among the people."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2440)   

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي مُقْبِلًا قَالَ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقُلْتُ مَا لِي؟ لَعَلِّي أُنْزِلَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ مَنْ هُمْ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي؟قَالَ الْأَكْثَرُونَ أَمْوَالًا إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا فَحَثَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِقَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا يَمُوتُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ فَيَدَعُ إِبِلًا وَبَقَرًا وَغَنَمًا لَمْ يُؤَدِّ زَكَاتَهَا إِلَّا جَاءَتْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْظَمَ مَا كَانَتْ وَأَسْمَنَهُ تَطَؤُهُ بِأَخْفَافِهَا وَتَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا كُلَّمَا نَفِدَتْ أُخْرَاهَا أُعِيدَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ النَّاسِ  

" I know the last of the people of the Fire to depart from the Fire and the last of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise. A man will be brought forth and He ﷺ will say: 'Ask about his small sins and hide his large sins.' So it will be said to him: 'Did you do this and that on such and such a day, did you do this and that on such- and – such a day?'” He said: “Then it will be said to him; 'For each of your sins you shall have a reward.'” He ﷺ said: “So he will say: 'O Lord! I have done things that I do not see here.'” He (Abu Dharr) said: “I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laugh until his molars were visible.” (Sahih) (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2596)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنَ النَّارِ وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا الْجَنَّةَ يُؤْتَى بِرَجُلٍ فَيَقُولُ نَحُّوا كِبَارَ ذُنُوبِهِ وَسَلُوهُ عَنْ صِغَارِهَا قَالَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ عَمِلْتَ كَذَا يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَعَمِلْتَ كَذَا يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ لَقَدْ عَمِلْتُ أَشْيَاءَ لَمْ أَرَهَا هُنَا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُفَإِنَّ لَكَ مَكَانَ كُلِّ سَيِّئَةٍ حَسَنَةً  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Dharr, lift up your gaze and look to the highest person whom you see in the mosque." He said, "So I looked, and I saw a man sitting with an air of pride." He said, "So I said, 'This one?'" He said, "He said, 'O Abu Dharr, lift up your gaze and look to the lowest person whom you see in the mosque.'" He said, "So I looked, and I saw a weak man with good manners." He said, "So I said, 'This one?'" He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, this one is more beloved to Allah on the Day of Resurrection than the closest person to the Earth of this kind.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ارْفَعْ بَصَرَكَ فَانْظُرْ أَرْفَعَ رَجُلٍ تَرَاهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ جَالِسٌ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ارْفَعْ بَصَرَكَ فَانْظُرْ أَوْضَعَ رَجُلٍ تَرَاهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ ضَعِيفٌ عَلَيْهِ أَخْلَاقٌ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهَذَا أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ قُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلِ هَذَا  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said: The people among my Ummah who have the most intense love for me are a group who will come after me. One of them would wish that they had given their wealth and life just to have seen me."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَشَدَّ أُمَّتِي لِي حُبًّا قَوْمٌ يَكُونُونَ أَوْ يَجِيئُونَ بَعْدِي يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنَّهُ أَعْطَى أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُوَأَنَّهُ رَآنِي  

[Machine] "So, I heard Abu Dharr saying that the Prophet ﷺ stood up one night in the prayer of Isha and prayed with the people. Then some of his companions lagged behind praying. When he saw them standing up and lagging behind, he left to his camel. When he saw that the people had left the place, he returned to his place and prayed. I came and stood behind him, so he beckoned to me with his right hand, so I stood on his right, then Ibn Mas'ud came and stood behind me and Abu Dharr beckoned to him with his left hand, so he stood on his left. So the three of us prayed, each man praying for himself and reciting from the Quran what Allah willed. And he stood with a verse from the Quran and repeated it until morning prayer came. After we became morning, I beckoned to Abdullah bin Mas'ud and asked him what he wanted to do yesterday? Ibn Mas'ud said, 'I do not ask him anything until he tells me.' So I said, 'By my father and mother, you stood with a verse from the Quran and you have the Quran?' If one of us had done this and we found him on it, I would have prayed for my Ummah.' He said, 'So what did you respond to him or what did he say to you?' I said, 'I responded with something that, if he had realized it, many of them would have refrained from leaving the prayer.' He said, 'Shouldn't I give glad tidings to the people?' I said, 'Yes.' So I left hurling stones near people and Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if you send them with this, they will be disinclined from worship.' So he called him back and he went back. And that is the verse, 'If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You Who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.' (Quran 5:118).  

فَسَمِعَتْ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِي فِي صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ فَصَلَّى بِالْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ تَخَلَّفَ أَصْحَابٌ لَهُ يُصَلُّونَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى قِيَامَهُمْ وَتَخَلُّفَهُمْ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْقَوْمَ قَدْ أَخْلَوْا الْمَكَانَ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فَصَلَّى فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيَّ بِيَمِينِهِ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَامَ خَلْفِي وَخَلْفَهُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ بِشِمَالِهِ فَقَامَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ فَقُمْنَا ثَلَاثَتُنَا يُصَلِّي كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا بِنَفْسِهِ وَيَتْلُو مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَتْلُوَ فَقَامَ بِآيَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ يُرَدِّدُهَا حَتَّى صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ فَبَعْدَ أَنْ أَصْبَحْنَا أَوْمَأْتُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنْ سَلْهُ مَا أَرَادَ إِلَى مَا صَنَعَ الْبَارِحَةَ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ بِيَدِهِ لَا أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى يُحَدِّثَ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي قُمْتَ بِآيَةٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَمَعَكَ الْقُرْآنُ؟ لَوْ فَعَلَ هَذَا بَعْضُنَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ دَعَوْتُ لِأُمَّتِي قَالَ فَمَاذَا أُجِبْتَ أَوْ مَاذَا رُدَّ عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ أُجِبْتُ بِالَّذِي لَوْ اطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِ كَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ طَلْعَةً تَرَكُوا الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ أَفَلَا أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ بَلَى فَانْطَلَقْتُ مُعْنِقًا قَرِيبًا مِنْ قَذْفَةٍ بِحَجَرٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَبْعَثْ إِلَى النَّاسِ بِهَذَا نَكَلُوا عَنِ الْعِبَادَةِ فَنَادَاهُ أَنِ ارْجَعْ فَرَجَعَ وَتِلْكَ الْآيَةُ {إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ} [المائدة 118]  

[Machine] "About worship."  

عَنِ الْعِبَادَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no Arab horse but that it is called to with the Adhan every morning, and it makes two supplications. It says, 'O Allah, as You have made me beloved to the person who loves me and who loves my wealth, make me beloved to him and his wealth. Or make him beloved to me and my wealth.' Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: My father disputed with 'Amr bin Al-Harith, and he reported it from Yazid, who reported it from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Shamasa, who reported it from Laith, who also reported it from Ibn Shamasa."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ فَرَسٍ عَرَبِيٍّ إِلَّا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ مَعَ كُلِّ فَجْرٍ يَدْعُو بِدَعْوَتَيْنِ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ خَوَّلْتَنِي مَنْ خَوَّلْتَنِي مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ فَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَحَبِّ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ إِلَيْهِ أَوْ أَحَبَّ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ أَبِي خَالَفَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ فَقَالَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ وقَالَ لَيْثٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِمَاسَةَ أَيْضًا  

[Machine] I said to Abu Dharr, "If I had the opportunity to see the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , I would ask him..." He interrupted and asked, "About what?" I replied, "I would ask him if Muhammad has seen his Lord." Abu Dharr then said, "I did ask him, and he replied, 'It was a light, how can I see Him?'"  

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ لَوْ كُنْتُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَسَأَلْتُهُ قَالَ عَنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ؟ قُلْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ هَلْ رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ نُورًا أَنَّى أَرَاهُ  

[Machine] I asked Abu Dharr, I said to him, "Did you ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the Night of Decree?" He said, "I used to ask people about it." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about the Night of Decree. Is it in Ramadan or in other than it?" He said, "Indeed, it is in Ramadan." I said, "Does it coincide with the night when the Prophets were taken up (to the heavens) or is it until the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "No, rather it is until the Day of Resurrection." I said, "In which (part) of Ramadan is it?" He said, "Search for it in the first ten (nights) and the last ten (nights). Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated (some Hadiths) and I became negligent. I said, "In which of the twenty (nights) is it?" He said, "Search for it in the last seven (nights). Do not ask me about anything after it." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ narrated (some Hadiths) and I became negligent. So, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by my right upon you, when did you inform me in which part of Ramadan it is?" He became angry with me, an anger that he had never displayed to me before or after it. He said, "Search for it in the last seven (nights). Do not ask me about anything after it."  

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ كُنْتَ سَأَلْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ؟ قَالَ أَنَا كُنْتُ أَسْأَلَ النَّاسِ عَنْهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ أَفِي رَمَضَانَ هِيَ أَوْ فِي غَيْرِهِ؟ قَالَ بَلْ هِيَ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ قُلْتُ تَكُونُ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مَاكَانُوا فَإِذَا قُبِضُوا رُفِعَتْ أَمْ هِيَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ بَلْ هِيَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ فِي أَيِّ رَمَضَانَ هِيَ؟ قَالَ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأُوَلِ وَالْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَحَدَّثَ ثُمَّ اهْتَبَلْتُ غَفْلَتَهُ قُلْتُ فِي أَيِّ الْعِشْرِينَ هِيَ؟ قَالَ ابْتَغُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ لَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَحَدَّثَ ثُمَّ اهْتَبَلْتُ غَفْلَتَهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ بِحَقِّي عَلَيْكَ لَمَا أَخْبَرْتَنِي فِي أَيِّ الْعَشْرِ هِيَ؟ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ مِثْلَهُ مُنْذُ صَحِبْتُهُ أَوْ صَاحَبْتُهُ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا قَالَ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ لَا تَسْأَلْنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا  

[Machine] He informed him that he said, "O Messenger of Allah, which action is the best?" He said, "Faith in Allah and striving in His cause." He said, "Which type of slavery is the best?" He said, "Freeing a slave who is most valuable and most beloved to his family." He said, "What if I am unable to do so?" He said, "Assist the one who is in need or do good for the disabled." He said, "What if I am weak?" He said, "Refrain from doing evil, for it is a charity that you do upon yourself."  

أخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ إِيمَانٌ بِاللهِ وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ قَالَ فَأَيُّ الرِّقَابِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ أَغْلَاهَا ثَمَنًا وَأَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ؟ قَالَ تُعِينُ صَانِعًا أَوْ تَصْنَعُ لِأَخْرَقَ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ضَعُفْتُ؟ قَالَ تُمْسِكُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ فَإِنَّهُ صَدَقَةٌ تَصَّدَّقُ بِهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ  

[Machine] When Abu Dharr arrived at Uthman from Sham, he said, "My beloved (referring to the Prophet ﷺ) commanded me with three things: listen and obey, even if it is from a maimed slave, and when you make a soup, increase its water, then see the people from your neighborhood, and give them some of it with kindness, and pray the prayer in its prescribed time. If you find the Imam has already prayed, then you have safeguarded your prayer, and if not, then it is considered voluntary."  

لَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَقَالَ أَمَرَنِي خَلِيلِي ﷺ بِثَلَاثٍ اسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ وَلَوْ عَبْدًا مُجَدَّعَ الْأَطْرَافِ وَإِذَا صَنَعْتَ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهَا ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنْ جِيرَتِكَ فَأَصِبْهُمْ مِنْهَا بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ الْإِمَامَ قَدْ صَلَّى فَقَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلَاتَكَ وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ نَافِلَةٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Whoever drinks alcohol, Allah will not accept his prayer for forty nights. If he repents, Allah will accept his repentance. But if he returns to it, it will be the same. I don't know if it is on the third time or the fourth." The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "If he returns to it, it is certain that Allah will make him drink from the mud of Al-Khabal." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the mud of Al-Khabal?" He said, "It is the essence of the people of the Hellfire."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللهُ لَهُ صَلَاةً أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ كَانَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَمَا أَدْرِي أَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَمْ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ عَادَ كَانَ حَتْمًا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهُ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْخَبَالِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا طِينَةُ الْخَبَالِ؟ قَالَ عُصَارَةُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ  

[Machine] I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "I want to spend the night with you and pray with your prayer." He said, "You are not able to handle my prayer." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ washed and covered himself with a garment while I turned my gaze away from him. He performed ablution and I did the same, then he stood to pray and I stood with him until I felt like hitting my head against the walls due to the length of his prayer. Then Bilal called the Adhan for prayer and asked, "Did you do it?" I said, "Yes." Bilal said, "O Bilal, you should have called the Adhan when dawn was clearly visible in the sky. This is not the time for Adhan." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for some food for the pre-dawn meal and he ate it.  

قُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَبِيتَ عِنْدَكَ اللَّيْلَةَ فَأُصَلِّيَ بِصَلَاتِكَ قَالَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ صَلَاتِي فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَغْتَسِلُ فَيَسْتُرُ بِثَوْبٍ وَأَنَا مُحَوَّلٌ عَنْهُ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ فَعَلْتُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي وَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى جَعَلْتُ أَضْرِبُ بِرَأْسِي الْجُدْرَانَ مِنْ طُولِ صَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ أَفَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ إِنَّكَ لَتُؤَذِّنُ إِذَا كَانَ الصُّبْحُ سَاطِعًا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ الصُّبْحَ إِنَّمَا الصُّبْحُ هَكَذَا مُعْتَرِضًا ثُمَّ دَعَا بِسَحُورٍ فَتَسَحَّرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you have a treasure from the treasures of Jannah?" I said, "Yes." He said, "There is no power or strength except with Allah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ فِي كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , in what he narrates from His Lord, it is reported that He said, "O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and put your hope in Me, I will forgive you for whatever sins you have and I will not mind. O son of Adam, even if your sins were to reach the height of the heavens, then you seek forgiveness from Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, if you come to Me with an earthful of sins and meet Me without associating anything with Me, I will come to you with an earthful of forgiveness."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيمَا يَرْوِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ ﷻ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي فَإِنِّي سَأَغْفِرُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيكَ وَلَوْ لَقِيتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا لَلَقِيتُكَبِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً وَلَوْ عَمِلْتَ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ مَا لَمْ تُشْرِكْ بِي شَيْئًا ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتَنِي لَغَفَرْتُ لَكَ ثُمَّ لَا أُبَالِي  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , a similar example.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said to Bilal, 'O Bilal, you give the call to prayer when the dawn is shining in the sky. That is not the dawn. The true dawn is like this,' as he raised his hands. Then he called for his pre-dawn meal (suhoor) and had it. He used to say, 'My Ummah (followers) will always be in goodness as long as they delay suhoor and hasten to break their fast.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِبِلَالٍ أَنْتَ يَا بِلَالُ تُؤَذِّنُ إِذَا كَانَ الصُّبْحُ سَاطِعًا فِي السَّمَاءِ فَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِالصُّبْحِ إِنَّمَا الصُّبْحُ هَكَذَا مُعْتَرِضًا ثُمَّ دَعَا بِسَحُورِهِ فَتَسَحَّرَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي بِخَيْرٍ مَا أَخَّرُوا السَّحُورَ وَعَجَّلُوا الْفِطْرَ  

"I heard Abu Al-Ahwas saying to us in a gathering with Ibn Al-Musayyab when Ibn Al-Musayyab was sitting there, that he had heard Abu Dharr say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah (SWT) continues to look upon His slave while he is praying, so long as he does not turn away. If he turns his face away, He turns away from him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1195)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَزَالُ اللهُ ﷻ مُقْبِلًا عَلَى الْعَبْدِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ مَا لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ فَإِذَا صَرَفَ وَجْهَهُ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , gave me the bay'ah (pledge) five times, secured me seven times, and testified for me nine times that I do not fear the blame of blamers in the sight of Allah. Abu al-Muthanna said Abu Dhar called me. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , called me and said, "Do you want a bay'ah (pledge) and do you want paradise?" I said, "Yes," and extended my hand. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, while stipulating, "Do not ask people for anything." I said, "Yes." He said, "And do not strike anyone even if he abuses you until he falls, so that you may hold him."  

بَايَعَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَمْسًا وَوَاْثَقَنِي سَبْعًا وَأَشْهَدَ عَلَيَّ تِسْعًا أَنْ لَا أَخَافَ فِي اللهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ قَالَ أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَدَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكَ إِلَى بَيْعَةٍ وَلَكَ الْجَنَّةُ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ وَبَسَطْتُ يَدِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَهُوَ يَشْتَرِطُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَلَا سَوْطَكَ إِنْ يَسْقُطْ مِنْكَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ فَتَأْخُذَهُ  

[Machine] He said, when the last ten days came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed i'tikaf in the mosque. When the Prophet ﷺ offered the afternoon prayer on the twenty-first day, he said, "We will be standing tonight, if Allah wills. So whoever among you wishes to stand (for prayer), let him do so." It was the night of the twenty-third that he prayed in congregation after the 'Isha' prayer. He led people in prayer until one-third of the night had passed, then he left. When the night of the twenty-fourth came, he did not offer any prayer; nor did he stand (for prayer). When the night of the twenty-fifth came, he stood (for prayer) after offering the afternoon prayer of the twenty-fourth day. He said, "We will be standing tonight, if Allah wills, meaning the night of the twenty-fifth. So whoever among you wishes to stand (for prayer), let him do so." He said, "Abu Dharr, we have been in a hurry (for standing in prayer) on your behalf." So the Prophet ﷺ led us in prayer until two-thirds of the night had passed, then he left and went to his small room in the mosque. I said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, we were hoping that you would stand with us until morning." He said, "O Abu Dharr, when you have offered the prayer with your Imam and he leaves, it is recorded that you have stood for the whole night."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا كَانَ الْعَشْرُ الْأَوَاخِرُ اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَ إِنَّا قَائِمُونَ اللَّيْلَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلْيَقُمْ وَهِيَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَصَلَّاهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَمَاعَةً بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ لَمْ يُصَلِّ شَيْئًا وَلَمْ يَقُمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَامَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَقَالَ إِنَّا قَائِمُونَ اللَّيْلَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ يَعْنِي لَيْلَةَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَقُمْ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ لَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا وَلَمْ يَقُمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ قَامَ فَقَالَ إِنَّا قَائِمُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ يَعْنِي لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَلْيَقُمْ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَتَجَلَّدْنَا لِلْقِيَامِ فَصَلَّى بِنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ثُلُثَا اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى قُبَّتِهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنْ كُنَّا لَقَدْ طَمِعْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ تَقُومَ بِنَا حَتَّى تُصْبِحَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ مَعَ إِمَامِكَ وَانْصَرَفْتَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ كُتِبَ لَكَ قُنُوتُ لَيْلَتِكَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was sitting and two goats were butting heads. One of them struck the other and caused it to miscarry. The Prophet ﷺ then laughed. He was asked, "What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "I am amazed at her. By the One in whose hand is my soul, she will be held accountable for this on the Day of Resurrection."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ جَالِسًا وَشَاتَانِ تَعْتلفَانِ فَنَطَحَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى فَأَجْهَضَتْهَا قَالَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ عَجِبْتُ لَهَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيُقَادَنَّ لَهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

[Machine] He (Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari, companion of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ) heard him (the Messenger of Allah) saying words that whoever mentions them a hundred times after every prayer, Allah is greater, and glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate, and there is no power or might except with Allah. Then, even if his sins were as much as the foam of the sea, they would be forgiven. Abu Abdurrahman said: My father did not mention the phrase "raise him."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ كَلِمَاتٌ مَنْ ذَكَرَهُنَّ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَاقُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ ثُمَّ لَوْ كَانَتْ خَطَايَاهُ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ لَمَحَتْهُنَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ أَبِي لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Dharr saying, "I had a private conversation with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from night until the morning. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, give me an order.' He said, 'Verily, it is a trust, a disgrace, and a regret on the Day of Judgment, except for the one who takes it as his right and fulfills the responsibility entrusted to him.'"  

سَمِعَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ نَاجَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً إِلَى الصُّبْحِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمِّرْنِي فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا أَمَانَةٌ وَخِزْيٌ وَنَدَامَةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا مَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِحَقِّهَا وَأَدَّى الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا  

[Machine] "Aba Salim Al-Jayshani came to Aba Umayah at his house and said, 'I heard Abu Dhar saying that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'If one of you loves his companion, let him go to him in his house and inform him that he loves him for the sake of Allah. And indeed, I love you, so I came to you at your house.'"  

أَنَّ أَبَا سَالِمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيَّ أَتَى أَبَا أُمَيَّةَ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَحَبَّ أَحَدُكُمْ صَاحِبَهُ فَلْيَأْتِهِ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَلْيُخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُ لِلَّهِ ﷻ وَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُكَ فَجِئْتُكَ فِي مَنْزِلِكَ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Whoever from your servants serves you, then feed them with what you eat, and clothe them with what you wear. And whoever does not meet your standards from your servants, then sell them and do not torture the creation of Allah."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ لَاءَمَكُمْ مِنْ خَدَمِكُمْ فَأَطْعِمُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ وَاكْسُوهُمْ مِمَّا تَلْبَسُونَ وَمَنْ لَا يُلَائِمُكُمْ مِنْ خَدَمِكُمْ فَبِيعُوا وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا خَلْقَ اللهِ  

“I see what you do not see, and I hear what you do not hear. The heaven is creaking and it should creak, for there is no space in it the width of four fingers but there is an angel there, prostrating to Allah. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much, and you would never enjoy women in your beds, and you would go out in the streets, beseeching Allah.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4190)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ إِنِّي أَرَى مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ وَأَسْمَعُ مَا لَا تَسْمَعُونَ أَطَّتِ السَّمَاءُ وَحَقَّ لَهَا أَنْ تَئِطَّ مَا فِيهَا مَوْضِعُ أَرْبَعِ أَصَابِعَ إِلَّا عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ سَاجِدٌ لَوْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا وَلَا تَلَذَّذْتُمْ بِالنِّسَاءِ عَلَى الْفُرُشَاتِ وَلَخَرَجْتُمْ عَلَى أَوْ إِلَى الصُّعُدَاتِ تَجْأَرُونَ إِلَى اللهِ قَالَفَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَاللهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي شَجَرَةٌ تُعْضَدُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "My beloved [Allah] advised me of five things: to have mercy towards the poor, to sit with them, to look at those beneath me and not those above me, to maintain family ties even if they are severed, to speak the truth even if it is bitter, and to say 'there is no power or strength except through Allah.' My friend of forgiveness, I do not know which of these five remains except for this saying: 'there is no power or strength except through Allah'." Abu 'Abd Al-Rahman said, "I heard it from Hakam ibn Musa, and Muhammad ibn Ka'ab reported it from Abu Dharr, who heard it from the Prophet ﷺ ."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَوْصَانِي حِبِّي بِخَمْسٍ أَرْحَمُ الْمَسَاكِينَ وَأُجَالِسُهُمْ وَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ تَحْتِي وَلَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقِي وَأَنْ أَصِلَ الرَّحِمَ وَإِنْ أَدْبَرَتْ وَأَنْ أَقُولَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُرًّا وَأَنْ أَقُولَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ يَقُولُ مَوْلَى غُفْرَةَ لَا أَعْلَمُ بَقِيَ فِينَا مِنَ الْخَمْسِ إِلَّا هَذِهِ قَوْلُنَا لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنَ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مُوسَى وقَالَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ  

"My beloved Prophet advised me to do three things which I will never give up, if Allah wills. He advised me to pray Duha, to pray Witr before sleeping, and to fast three days of each month." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2404)  

أَوْصَانِي حِبِّي بِثَلَاثٍ لَا أَدَعُهُنَّ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ أَبَدًا أَوْصَانِي بِصَلَاةِ الضُّحَى وَبِالْوِتْرِ قَبْلَ النَّوْمِ وَبِصِيَامِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "Do not belittle any act of kindness, even if it is small. And if you cannot find it, then greet your brother with a cheerful face."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فَالْقَ أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ طَلْقٍ  

You would soon conquer Egypt and that is a land which is known (as the land of al-qirat). So when you conquer it, treat its inhabitants well. For there lies upon you the responsibility because of blood-tie or relationship of marriage (with them). And when you see two persons falling into dispute amongst themselves for the space of a brick, than get out of that. He (Abu Dharr) said: I saw Abd al-Rahman b. Shurahbil b. Hasana and his brother Rabi'a disputing with one another for the space of a brick. So I left that (land). (Using translation from Muslim 2543b)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَفْتَحُونَ مِصْرَ وَهِيَ أَرْضٌ يُسَمَّى فِيهَا الْقِيرَاطُ فَإِذَا فَتَحْتُمُوهَا فَأَحْسِنُوا إِلَى أَهْلِهَا فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ ذِمَّةً وَرَحِمًا أَوْ قَالَ ذِمَّةً وَصِهْرًا فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ رَجُلَيْنِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِيهَا فِي مَوْضِعِ لَبِنَةٍ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ شُرَحْبِيلَ ابْنِ حَسَنَةَ وَأَخَاهُ رَبِيعَةَ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي مَوْضِعِ لَبِنَةٍ فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْهَا  

[Machine] I heard Abu Dharr, so he mentioned its meaning.  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah accepts the repentance of His servant or forgives His servant as long as the veil is not fallen." It was asked: "And what does the falling of the veil mean?" He said: "When the soul dies while still in a state of polytheism."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ يَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدِهِ أَوْ يَغْفِرُ لِعَبْدِهِ مَا لَمْ يَقَعِ الْحِجَابُ قِيلَ وَمَا وُقُوعٌ الْحِجَابِ؟ قَالَ تَخْرُجُ النَّفْسُ وَهِيَ مُشْرِكَةٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah forgives His servant as long as he or she does not commit shirk (associating partners with Allah)."

They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is shirk?"

He replied, "It is that the soul dies while still associating partners with Allah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ لَيَغْفِرُ لِعَبْدِهِ مَا لَمْ يَقَعِ الْحِجَابُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الْحِجَابُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَمُوتَ النَّفْسُ وَهِيَ مُشْرِكَةٌ  

[Machine] Al-Ansī reported that Abu Dharr narrated to them and they said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the meaning of 'al-hijab'?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah forgives His servant and then they remember His forgiveness."  

الْعَنْسِيِّأَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ حَدَّثَهُمْ وَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا وُقُوعُ الْحِجَابِ؟ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ لَيَغْفِرُ لِعَبْدِهِ فَذَكَرَا مِثْلَهُ  

We set out from our tribe Ghafir who look upon the prohibited months as permissible months. I and my brother Unais and our mother stayed with our maternal uncle who treated us well. The men of his tribe fell jealous and they said: When you are anay from your house, Unais commits adultery with your wife. Our -naternal uncle came and he accused us of the sin which was conveyed to him. I said: You have undone the good you did to us. We cannot stay with you after this. We came to our camels and loaded (our) luggage. Our maternal uncle began to weep covering himself with (a piece of) cloth. We proceeded on until we encamped by the side of Mecca. Unais cast lot on the camels (we had) and an equal number (above that). They both went to a Kahin and he made Unais win and Unais came with our camels and an equal number along with them. He (Abu Dharr) said: My nephew, I used to observe prayer three years before my meeting with Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said: For whom did you say prayer? He said: For Allah. I said: To which direction did you turn your face (for observing prayer)? He said: I used to turn my face as Allah has directed me to turn my face. I used to observe the night prayer at the time of the end of night and I fell down in prostration like the mantle until the sun rose over me. Unais said: I have a work in Mecca, so you better stay here. Unais went until he came to Mecca and he came to me late. I said: What did you do? He said: I met a person in Mecca who is on your religion and he claims that verily it is Allah Who has sent him. I said: What do the people say about him? He said: They say that he is a poet or a Kahin or a magician. Unais who was himself one of the poets said. I have heard the words of a Kahin but his words in no way resemble his (words). And 1 also compared his words to the verses of poets but such words cannot be uttered by any poet. By Allah, he is truthful and they are liars. Then I said: you stay here, until I go, so that I should see him. He said: I came to Mecca and I selected an insignificant person from amongst them and said to him: Where is he whom you call as-Sabi? He pointed out towards me saying: He is Sabi. Thereupon the people of the valley attacked me with sods and bows until I fell down unconscious. I stood up after havin. regained my consciousness and I found as if I was a red idol. I came to Zamzarn and washed blood from me and drank water from it and listen, O son of my brother, I stayed there for thirty nights or days and there was no food for me but the water of Zamzarn. And I became so bulky that there appeared wrinkles upon my stomach, and I did not feel any hunger in my stomach. It was during this time that the people of Mecca slept in the moonlit night and none was there to eircumambulate the House but only two women who had been invoking the name of Isafa, and Na'ila (the two idols). They came to me while in their circuit and I said: Marry one with the other, but they did not dissuade from their invoking. They came to me and I said to them: Insert wood (in the idols' private parts). (I said this to them in such plain words) as I could not express in metaphorical terms. These women went away crying and saying: Had there been one amongst our people (he would have taught a lesson to you for the obscene words used for our idols before us). These women met Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr who had also been coming down the hill. He asked them: What has happened to you? They said: There is Sabi, who has hidden himself between the Ka'ba and its curtain. He said: What did he say to you? They said: He uttered such words before us as we cannot express. Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and he kissed the Black Stone and circumambulated the House along with his Companion and then observed prayer, and when he had finished his prayer, Abu Dharr said: I was the first to greet him with the salutation of peace and uttered (these words) in this way; Allah's Messen- ger, may there be peace upon you, whereupon he said: It may be upon you too and the mercy of Allah. He then said: Who are you? I said: From the tribe of Ghifar. He leaned his hand and placed his finger on his forehead and I said to myself: Perhaps he has not liked it that I belong to the tribe of Ghifar. I attempted to catch hold of his hand but his friend who knew about him more than I dissuaded me f rom doing so. He then lifted his head and said: Since how long have you been here? I said: I have been here for the last thirty nights or days. He said: Who has been feeding you? I said: There has been no food for me but the water of Zamzam. I have grown so bulky that there appear wrinkles upon my stomach and I do not feel any hunger. He said: It is blessed (water) and it also serves as food. Thereupon Abu Bakr said: Messenger of Allah, let me serve as a host to him for tonight, and then Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded forth and so did Abu Bakr and I went along with them. Abu Bakr opened the door and then he brought for us the raisins of Ta'if and that was the first food which I ate there. Then I stayed as long as I had to stay. I then came to Allah's Messenaer ﷺ and he said: I have been shown the land abound- ing in trees and I think it cannot be but that of Yathrib (that is the old name of Medina). You are a preacher to your people on my behalf. I hope Allah would benefit them through you and He would reward you. I came to Unais and he said: What have you done? I said: I have done that I have embraced Islam and I have testified (to the prophethood of Messenger of Allah). He said: I have no aversion for your religion and I also embrace Islam and testify (to the prophethood of Muhammad). Then both of us came to our mother and she said: I have no aversion for your religion and I also embrace Islam and testify to the prophethood of Muhammad. We then loaded our camels and came to our tribe Ghifir and half of the tribe embraced Islam and their chief was Aimi' b. Rahada Ghifirl and he was their leader and hall of the tribe said: We will embrace Islam when Messenger of Allah (may p,. ace be upon him) would come to Medina, and when Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina the remaining half also embraced Islam. Then a tribe Aslam came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, we also embrace Islam like our brothers who have embraced Islam. And they also embraced Islam. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah granted pardon to the tribe of Ghifar and Allah saved (from destruction) the tribe of Aslam. (Using translation from Muslim 2473a)   

أَبُو ذَرٍّ خَرَجْنَا مِنْ قَوْمِنَا غِفَارٍ وَكَانُوا يُحِلُّونَ الشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ أَنَا وَأَخِي أُنَيْسٌ وَأُمُّنَا فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا عَلَى خَالٍ لَنَا ذِي مَالٍ وَذِي هَيْئَةٍ فَأَكْرَمَنَا خَالُنَا وَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْنَا فَحَسَدَنَا قَوْمُهُ فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّكَ إِذَا خَرَجْتَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ خَلَفَكَ إِلَيْهِمْ أُنَيْسٌ فَجَاءَ خَالُنَا فَنَثَا عَلَيْهِ مَا قِيلَ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَمَّا مَا مَضَى مِنْ مَعْرُوفِكَ فَقَدْ كَدَّرْتَهُ وَلَا جِمَاعَ لَنَا فِيمَا بَعْدُ قَالَ فَقَرَّبْنَا صِرْمَتَنَا فَاحْتَمَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا وَتَغَطَّى خَالُنَا ثَوْبَهُ وَجَعَلَ يَبْكِي قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا بِحَضْرَةِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَنَافَرَ أُنَيْسٌ رَجُلًا عَنْ صِرْمَتِنَا وَعَنْ مِثْلِهَا فَأَتَيَا الْكَاهِنَ فَخَيَّرَ أُنَيْسًا فَأَتَانَا بِصِرْمَتِنَا وَمِثْلِهَا وَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَلْقَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ؟ قَالَ لِلَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ تَوَجَّهُ؟قَالَ حَيْثُ وَجَّهَنِي اللهُ قَالَ وَأُصَلِّي عِشَاءً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ أُلْقِيتُ كَأَنِّي خِفَاءٌ قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ كَأَنِّي خِفَاءٌ قَالَ يَعْنِي خِبَاءً تَعْلُوَنِي الشَّمْسُ قَالَ فَقَالَ أُنَيْسٌ إِنَّ لِي حَاجَةً بِمَكَّةَ فَاكْفِنِي حَتَّى آتِيَكَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ فَرَاثَ عَلَيَّ ثُمَّ أَتَانِي فَقُلْتُ مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ قَالَ لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ اللهَ أَرْسَلَهُ عَلَى دِينِكَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ لَهُ؟ قَالَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ شَاعِرٌ وَسَاحِرٌ وَكَاهِنٌ وَكَانَ أُنَيْسٌ شَاعِرًا قَالَ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَ الْكُهَّانِ فَمَا يَقُولُ بِقَوْلِهِمْ وَقَدْ وَضَعْتُ قَوْلَهُ عَلَى أَقْرَاءِ الشِّعْرِ فَوَاللهِ مَا يَلْتَامُ لِسَانُ أَحَدٍ أَنَّهُ شِعْرٌ وَاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَصَادِقٌ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ أَنْتَ كَافِيَّ حَتَّى أَنْطَلِقَ فَأَنْظُرَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَكُنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ عَلَى حَذَرٍ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ شَنِفُوا لَهُ وَتَجَهَّمُوا لَهُ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ شَئِفُوا لَهُ وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ سَبَقُوا لَهُ وَقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ شَفَوْا لَهُ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ فَتَضَعَّفْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي تَدْعُونَهُ الصَّابِئَ؟ قَالَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ قَالَ الصَّابِئُ قَالَ فَمَالَ أَهْلُ الْوَادِي عَلَيَّ بِكُلِّ مَدَرَةٍ وَعَظْمٍ حَتَّى خَرَرْتُ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيَّ فَارْتَفَعْتُ حِينَ ارْتَفَعْتُ كَأَنِّي نُصُبٌ أَحْمَرُفَأَتَيْتُ زَمْزَمَ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْ مَائِهَا وَغَسَلْتُ عَنِّي الدَّمَ فَدَخَلْتُ بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَأَسْتَارِهَا فَلَبِثْتُ بِهِ ابْنَ أَخِي ثَلَاثِينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ وَمَا لِي طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مَاءُ زَمْزَمَ فَسَمِنْتُ حَتَّى تَكَسَّرَتْ عُكَنُ بَطْنِي وَمَا وَجَدْتُ عَلَى كَبِدِي سَخْفَةَ جُوعٍ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ قَمْرَاءَ إِضْحِيَانٍ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ إِصْحِيَانٍ وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ إِضْحِيَانٍ وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ فَضَرَبَ اللهُ عَلَى أَصْمِخَةِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَمَا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ غَيْرُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ فَأَتَتَا عَلَيَّ وَهُمَا تَدْعُوَانِ إِسَافَ وَنَائِلَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَنْكِحُوا أَحَدَهُمَا الْآخَرَ فَمَا ثَنَاهُمَا ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَأَتَتَا عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ وَهَنٌ مِثْلُ الْخَشَبَةِ غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُكَنِّ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَتَا تُوَلْوِلَانِ وَتَقُولَانِ لَوْ كَانَ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَنْفَارِنَا قَالَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا هَابِطَانِ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ فَقَالَ مَا لَكُمَا فَقَالَتَا الصَّابِئُ بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَأَسْتَارِهَا قَالَا مَا قَالَ لَكُمَا؟ قَالَتَا قَالَ لَنَا كَلِمَةً تَمْلَأُ الْفَمَ قَالَ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هُوَ وَصَاحِبُهُ حَتَّى اسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَكُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ حَيَّاهُ بِتَحِيَّةِ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ مِنْ غِفَارٍ قَالَ فَأَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ فَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي كَرِهَ أَنِّي انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى غِفَارٍ قَالَ فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ آخُذَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَذَفَنِي صَاحِبُهُ وَكَانَ أَعْلَمَ بِهِ مِنِّي قَالَ مَتَى كُنْتَ هَاهُنَا قَالَ كُنْتُ هَاهُنَا مُنْذُ ثَلَاثِينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ لَيْلَةٍ وَيَوْمٍ قَالَ فَمَنْ كَانَ يُطْعِمُكَ؟ قُلْتُ مَا كَانَ لِي طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مَاءُ زَمْزَمَ قَالَ فَسَمِنْتُ حَتَّى تَكَسَّرَتْ عُكَنُ بَطْنِي وَمَا وَجَدْتُ عَلَى كَبِدِي سُخْفَةَ جُوعٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا مُبَارَكَةٌ وَإِنَّهَا طَعَامُ طُعْمٍ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ائْذَنْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِي طَعَامِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ فَفَعَلَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا حَتَّى فَتَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَابًا فَجَعَلَ يَقْبِضُ لَنَا مِنْ زَبِيبِ الطَّائِفِ قَالَ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَوَّلَ طَعَامٍ أَكَلْتُهُ بِهَا فَلَبِثْتُ مَا لَبِثْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي قَدْ وُجِّهَتْ إِلَيَّ أَرْضٌ ذَاتُ نَخْلٍ وَلَا أَحْسَبُهَا إِلَّا يَثْرِبَ فَهَلْ أَنْتَ مُبَلِّغٌ عَنِّي قَوْمَكَ لَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَهُمْ بِكَ وَيَأْجُرَكَ فِيهِمْ؟ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ أَخِي أُنَيْسًا قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي صَنَعْتُ أَنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ وَصَدَّقْتُ قَالَ قَالَ فَمَا بِي رَغْبَةٌ عَنْ دِينِكَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَصَدَّقْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا أُمَّنَا فَقَالَتْ فَمَا بِي رَغْبَةٌ عَنْ دِينِكُمَا فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَصَدَّقْتُ فَتَحَمَّلْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا قَوْمَنَا غِفَارًا فَأَسْلَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَقَالَ يَعْنِي يَزِيدَ بِبَغْدَادَ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِذَا قَدِمَ وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ إِخْوَانُنَا نُسْلِمُ وَكَذَا قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ وَكَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ خُفَافُبْنُ إِيمَاءِ بْنِ رَحَضَةَ الْغِفَارِيُّ وَكَانَ سَيِّدَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَالَ بَقِيَّتُهُمْ إِذَا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْلَمْنَا فَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَسْلَمَ بَقِيَّتُهُمْ قَالَ وَجَاءَتْ أَسْلَمُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِخْوَانُنَا نُسْلِمُ عَلَى الَّذِي أَسْلَمُوا عَلَيْهِ فَأَسْلَمُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غِفَارٌ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا وَأَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللهُ وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ وَكَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ إِيمَاءُ بْنُ رَحَضَةَ وَقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ إِيمَاءٌ  

[Machine] "Sulaiman ibn Al-Mughirah narrated to us and mentioned something similar to it with its chain of narrators."  

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ  

"I said to Abu Dharr: 'If I saw the Prophet ﷺ then I would asked him." He said: 'What is it that you would have asked him about?' I said: 'I would have asked him if Muhammad saw his Lord?' He said: 'I did ask him that, and he ﷺ said: I saw light.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3282)   

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَسَأَلْتُهُ قَالَ وَعَمَّا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُهُ؟ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ رَأَى رَبَّهُ ﷻ؟ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ نُورٌ أَنَّى أَرَاهُ  

[Machine] I was with Abu Dharr, and he had left his servant behind with him. She started taking care of his needs, and he said, "Once she took care of my needs, and in return, she was given a favor with me." I asked him, "O Abu Dharr, if you save it for your own needs, it would serve you, and if a visitor comes to you, it would be useful." He replied, "Indeed, my close friend has made a covenant with me that whatever gold or silver is entrusted to me, it is like a burning coal on the Day of Judgment until I exhaust it in the way of Allah."  

كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَقَدْ خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ وَمَعَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ فَجَعَلَتْ تَقْضِي حَوَائِجَهُ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً تَقْضِي قَالَ فَفَضَلَ مَعَهُ فَضْلٌ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ سَبْعٌ قَالَ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بِهَا فُلُوسًا قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَوِ ادَّخَرْتَهُ لِلْحَاجَةِ تَنُوبُكَ وَلِلضَّيْفِ يَأْتِيكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ خَلِيلِي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَيُّمَا ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ أُوكِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ جَمْرٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُفْرِغَهُ إِفْرَاغًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ  

[Machine] I said, O Messenger of Allah, which speech is most beloved to Allah? He said, "That which He has chosen for His angels, which is, 'Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, subhan Allah wa bihamdihi,' 'Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, glory be to Allah and praise be to Him,' and it is said three times."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ الْكَلَامِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ ﷻ؟ قَالَ مَا اصْطَفَاهُ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثًا تَقُولُهَا  

I used to love to meet him, so I met him and said to him, "O Abu Dharr, tell me something about yourself that I may love to meet you and ask you about it." He said, "You have already met, so ask." I said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'There are three whom Allah loves and three whom Allah hates.'" He said, "Yes, what prevents me from lying about my beloved Muhammad ﷺ three times."

I said, "Who are the three whom Allah loves?" He said, "(1) A man who fights in the way of Allah, meeting the enemy as a fighter, hoping for reward, until he is killed. And you find in the Book of Allah, 'Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His cause as if they are a compacted structure.' (2) And a man who has a neighbor who harms him, and he endures and seeks reward from Allah until Allah suffices him of it with death or life. (3) And a man who joins a group and practices with them until it becomes burdensome for them, so they camp at the end of the night, then he stands up for his ablution and prayer."

I said, "Who are the three whom Allah hates?" He said, "(1) The arrogant, boastful person. And you find in the Book of Allah, 'Indeed, Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful.' (2) The stingy, miserly person. (3) And the deceitful businessman."

I said, "O Abu Dharr, what about wealth?" He said, "It is a means for us to divide and taste, meaning that we divide a small herd of sheep." I said, "I am not asking about this. I am only asking you about the silent wealth." He said, "I neither have morning nor evening, and what is evening is not morning." I said, "O Abu Dharr, what about you and your Quraishi brothers?" He said, "By Allah, I do not ask them for the world, nor do I seek their advice about the religion of Allah until I meet Allah and His Messenger three times and say these words."  

فَكُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَلْقَاهُ فَلَقِيتُهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ حَدِيثٌ فَكُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَلْقَاكَ فَأَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ لَقِيتَ فَاسْأَلْ

قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «ثَلَاثَةٌ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللهُ وَثَلَاثَةٌ يُبْغِضُهُمُ اللهُ» قَالَ نَعَمْ فَمَا أَخَالُنِي أَكْذِبُ عَلَى خَلِيلِي مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا يَقُولُهَا

قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنِ الثَّلَاثَةُ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللهُ ﷻ؟ قَالَ: (١) رَجُلٌ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَلَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ مُجَاهِدًا مُحْتَسِبًا فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجِدُونَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ {إِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا} [الصف 4]، (٢) وَرَجُلٌ لَهُ جَارٌ يُؤْذِيهِ فَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُ وَيَحْتَسِبُهُ حَتَّى يَكْفِيَهُ اللهُ إِيَّاهُ بِمَوْتٍ أَوْ حَيَاةٍ، (٣) وَرَجُلٌ يَكُونُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فَيَسِيرُونَ حَتَّى يَشُقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْكَرَى وَالنُّعَاسُ فَيَنْزِلُونَ فِي آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَيَقُومُ إِلَى وُضُوئِهِ وَصَلَاتِهِ۔

قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنِ الثَّلَاثَةُ الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُهُمُ اللهُ؟ قَالَ: (١) الْفَخُورُ الْمُخْتَالُ وَأَنْتُمْ تَجِدُونَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ {إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ} [لقمان 18]، (٢) وَالْبَخِيلُ الْمَنَّانُ، (٣) وَالتَّاجِرُ أَوِ الْبَيَّاعُ الْحَلَّافُ

قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا الْمَالُ؟ قَالَ فِرْقٌ لَنَا وَذَوْدٌ يَعْنِي بِالْفِرْقِ غَنَمًا يَسِيرَةً قَالَ قُلْتُ لَسْتُ عَنْ هَذَا أَسْأَلُ إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ صَامِتِ الْمَالِ؟ قَالَ مَا أَصْبَحَ لَا أَمْسَى وَمَا أَمْسَى لَا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا لَكَ وَلِإِخْوَتِكَ قُرَيْشٍ؟ قَالَ وَاللهِ لَا أَسْأَلُهُمْ دُنْيَا وَلَا أَسْتَفْتِيهِمْ عَنْ دِينِ اللهِ حَتَّى أَلْقَى اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ثَلَاثًا يَقُولُهَا  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "Indeed, there are people from my ummah whose characteristic is shaving their heads. They recite the Quran, but it does not go beyond their throats. They pass through the religion just as an arrow passes through its target. They are the worst of creation and the created."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي سِيمَاهُمْ التَّحْلِيقُ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حُلُوقَهُمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ هُمْ شَرُّ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخَلِيقَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "I do not like to have the equivalent of Uhud mountain in gold." Shu'bah said, or he said, "I do not like to have even a single gold coin from it, except for a debt that I owe."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ ذَهَبًا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَوْ قَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي أُحُدًا ذَهَبًا أَدَعُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ أَمُوتُ دِينَارًا أَوْ نِصْفَ دِينَارٍ إِلَّا لِغَرِيمٍ  

The Mu'adh-dhin (call-maker) of the Prophet ﷺ pronounced the Adhan (call) for the Zuhr prayer but the Prophet said, "Let it be cooler, let it be cooler." Or said, 'Wait, wait, because the severity of heat is from the raging of the Hell-fire. In severe hot weather, pray when it becomes (a bit) cooler and the shadows of hillocks appear." (Using translation from Bukhārī 535)  

أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالظُّهْرِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبْرِدْ أَبْرِدْ أَوْقَالَ انْتَظِرْ انْتَظِرْ وَقَالَ إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا فَيْءَ التُّلُولِ  

My nephew, leave him for he defended Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Muslim 2487a)   

عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

Go to your people and say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says: Ghifar (is a tribe) to whom Allah granted pardon, and Aslam (is the tribe) to whom Allah granted safety. (Using translation from Muslim 2514a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللهُ وَغِفَارٌ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "Fear Allah wherever you are, and interact with people with good manners. And if you do something wrong, follow it up with a good deed that will erase it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اتَّقِ اللهَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ وَخَالِقِ النَّاسَ بِخُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ وَإِذَا عَمِلْتَ سَيِّئَةً فَاعْمَلْ حَسَنَةً تَمْحُهَا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to fast the days of the white (nights): thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth of the month. He said: This is like keeping perpetual fast. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2449)   

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَصُومَ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ وَأَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ وَخَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ performed a miracle that he used to repeat every night.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَامَ بِآيَةٍ لَيْلَةً يُرَدِّدُهَا
