[Machine] I went to visit Abu Dharr, but I couldn't find him. I saw his wife and asked her about him. She said, "He is in his farm, driving or leading two camels, one of which carries a load on its back, while the other carries a load around its neck." I said, "O Abu Dharr, there is no one among the people whom I love to meet more than you, and there is no one whose meeting I hate to miss more than you." He said, "May Allah be your father, what brought you here?" I said, "During the time of ignorance, I committed some sins and I was hoping that in meeting you, you would inform me whether there is any chance for my repentance and a way out for me. And I was also afraid that in meeting you, you would tell me that there is no chance for my repentance." He asked, "During the time of ignorance?" I said, "Yes." Then he said, "May Allah forgive what is past." After that, he swung his head to the woman and ordered her to bring some food. So she brought some dates for him, and he took them and started to eat. Then Abu Dharr explained the statement of the Prophet ﷺ regarding the woman. He said, "If she goes to straighten it, she will break it, and if she leaves it, then it will be a means of seduction." So, she left her hair as it was, and it was as if there were birds' nests in it. Abu Dharr said, "Keep away from women, as I am fasting." Then he stood up and prayed. I saw him performing a perfect rukoo' (bowing) and a perfect sujood (prostration). Then I saw him looking to see if he had eaten enough or if there was any food remaining. Afterwards, he placed his hand on mine and said, "We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return." I said, "What is the matter with you?" He replied, "I am afraid that due to the severe hunger you may tell me something which is not true." I said, "I am afraid that it might be a lie if I said I am fasting while you see me eating." He said, "Allah is your father, if I lied to you once I met you, then why didn't you tell me that you were fasting when I saw you eating?" I said, "Yes, I am fasting these three days of the month, so I accepted the food with you."  

أَتَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ وَرَأَيْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَسَأَلْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ هُوَ ذَاكَ فِي ضَيْعَةٍ لَهُ فَجَاءَ يَقُودُ أَوْ يَسُوقُ بَعِيرَيْنِ قَاطِرًا أَحَدَهُمَا فِي عَجُزِ صَاحِبِهِ فِي عُنُقِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا قِرْبَةٌ فَوَضَعَ الْقِرْبَتَيْنِ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا كَانَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَلْقَاهُ مِنْكَ وَلَا أَبْغَضَ أَنْ أَلْقَاهُ مِنْكَ قَالَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ وَمَا يَجْمَعُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ وَأَدْتُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكُنْتُ أَرْجُو فِي لِقَائِكَ أَنْ تُخْبِرَنِي أَنَّ لِي تَوْبَةً وَمَخْرَجًا وَكُنْتُ أَخْشَى فِي لِقَائِكَ أَنْ تُخْبِرَنِي أَنَّهُ لَا تَوْبَةَ لِي فَقَالَ أَفِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ عَفَا اللهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَ ثُمَّ عَاجَ بِرَأْسِهِ إِلَى الْمَرْأَةِ فَأَمَرَ لِي بِطَعَامٍ فَالْتَوَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهَا فَالْتَوَتْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا قَالَ إِيهًا دَعِينَا عَنْكِ فَإِنَّكُنَّ لَنْ تَعْدُونَ مَا قَالَ لَنَا فِيكُنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ وَمَا قَالَ لَكُمْ فِيهِنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ الْمَرْأَةُ ضِلَعٌ فَإِنْ تَذْهَبْ تُقَوِّمُهَا تَكْسِرْهَا وَإِنْ تَدَعْهَا فَفِيهَا أَوَدٌ وَبُلْغَةٌ فَوَلَّتْ فَجَاءَتْ بِثَرِيدَةٍ كَأَنَّهَا قَطَاةٌ فَقَالَ كُلْ وَلَا أَهُولَنَّكَ إِنِّي صَائِمٌثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي فَجَعَلَ يُهَذِّبُ الرُّكُوعَ وَيُخَفِّفُهُ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يَتَحَرَّى أَنْ أَشْبَعَ أَوْ أُقَارِبَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ مَعِي فَقُلْتُ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ كُنْتُ أَخْشَى مِنَ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَكْذِبَنِي فَمَا كُنْتُ أَخْشَى أَنْ تَكْذِبَنِي قَالَ لِلَّهِ أَبُوكَ إِنْ كَذَبْتُكَ كِذْبَةً مُنْذُ لَقِيتَنِي فَقَالَ أَلَمْ تُخْبِرْنِي أَنَّكَ صَائِمٌ ثُمَّ أَرَاكَ تَأْكُلُ؟ قَالَ بَلَى إِنِّي صُمْتُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ فَوَجَبَ لِي أَجْرُهُ وَحَلَّ لِي الطَّعَامُ مَعَكَ  

[Machine] I met Abu Dharr, so I said to him: "It has reached me that you narrate a hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He said: "Indeed, it would not be appropriate for me to lie about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ after I have heard it from him. So, what did you hear from me?" I said: "I heard that you mentioned three types of people whom Allah loves and three types of people whom Allah dislikes." He said: "What did you hear about those whom Allah loves?" I said: "The man who confronts the enemy in a battalion and persists in fighting until he is killed or he is victorious with his companions, and a group of people who travel for a long time until they wish to touch the ground, so they descend and one of them steps forward to pray until he awakens them for their departure, and the man who has a neighbor who harms him but he endures patiently until they are separated by death or moving away." I said: "Who are the people whom Allah dislikes?" He said: "The hypocritical merchant or the deceitful buyer, and the one who withholds and doesn't give, and the arrogant beggar."  

لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بَلَغَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ تُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا تَخَالُنِي أَكْذِبُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَمَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ فَمَا الَّذِي بَلَغَكَ عَنِّي؟ قُلْتُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ ثَلَاثَةٌ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللهُ وَثَلَاثَةٌ يَشْنَؤُهُمُ اللهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَسَمِعْتَهُ قُلْتُ فَمَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّ اللهُ؟ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَلْقَى الْعَدُوَّ فِي الْفِئَةِ فَيَنْصِبُ لَهُمْ نَحْرَهُ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ أَوْ يُفْتَحَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ وَالْقَوْمُ يُسَافِرُونَ فَيَطُولُ سُرَاهُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبُّوا أَنْ يَمَسُّوا الْأَرْضَ فَيَنْزِلُونَ فَيَتَنَحَّى أَحَدُهُمْ فَيُصَلِّي حَتَّى يُوقِظَهُمْ لِرَحِيلِهِمْ وَالرَّجُلُيَكُونُ لَهُ الْجَارُ يُؤْذِيهِ جِوَارُهُ فَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُ حَتَّى يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا مَوْتٌ أَوْ ظَعْنٌ قُلْتُ وَمَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَشْنَؤُهُمُ اللهُ؟ قَالَ التَّاجِرُ الْحَلَّافُ أَوْ قَالَ الْبَائِعُ الْحَلَّافُ وَالْبَخِيلُ الْمَنَّانُ وَالْفَقِيرُ الْمُخْتَالُ  

[Machine] I came to Abu Dharr and asked him, "What is your wealth?" He replied, "My work." I said to him, "Tell me." He said, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There are no two Muslim parents whose three children die before reaching puberty, except that Allah will forgive them.' I said to him, 'Tell me more.' He said, 'Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No Muslim spends from his wealth for the sake of Allah, except that the curtains of Paradise will be opened for him. Every one of them will invite him to what he has.' I said, 'How is that?' He said, 'If it is men, then it is two men. If it is camels, then it is two camels. If it is cows, then it is two cows.'"  

أَتَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ مَا مَالُكَ ؟ قَالَ لِي عَمَلِي قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ أَوْلَادِهِمَا لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُمَا قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي قَالَ نَعَمْقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُنْفِقُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَالٍ لَهُ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ إِلَّا اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ كُلُّهُمْ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى مَا عِنْدَهُ قُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَتْ رِجَالًا فَرَجُلَيْنِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ إِبِلًا فَبَعِيرَيْنِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ بَقَرًا فَبَقَرَتَيْنِ  

The Messenger of 'Allah ﷺ said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by (passing of an) ass, woman, and black Dog. I said: O Abu Dharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguish it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil. (Using translation from Muslim 510a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتُرُهُ إِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ صَلَاتَهُ الْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا بَالُ الْكَلْبِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْكَلْبِ الْأَحْمَرِ مِنَ الْكَلْبِ الْأَصْفَرِ؟ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been given two treasures from beneath the Throne, and no prophet before me was given these two treasures, namely the last two verses of Surah al-Baqarah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي أُوتِيتُهُمَا مِنْ كَنْزٍ مِنْ بَيْتٍ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَهُمَا نَبِيٌّ قَبْلِي يَعْنِي الْآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been given rings containing the verses of Surah Al-Baqarah from a treasure beneath the Throne that no prophet before me was given."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُعْطِيتُ خَوَاتِيمَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ مِنْ بَيْتِ كَنْزٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ نَبِيٌّ قَبْلِي  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been given the rings of Surah Al-Baqarah from a treasure under the throne, and no prophet before me was given them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُعْطِيتُ خَوَاتِيمَ سُورَةِالْبَقَرَةِ مِنْ بَيْتِ كَنْزٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ وَلَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ نَبِيٌّ قَبْلِي  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Shall I not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" It is "There is no power or strength except with Allah."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ  

[Machine] "I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ in the outskirts of Medina at night, and we were looking at the stars. He said, 'O Abu Dharr!' I said, 'Labbayka Ya Rasulallah.' He said, 'I do not like for someone to have anything with me except for what they need for the night. I have one dinar with me, except for a dinar that I have set aside for debt. I would rather say to it, "This is for the slaves of Allah." He then gestured with his right hand, in front of him, and to his left. We then continued walking. He said, 'O Abu Dharr! The majority of people on the Day of Judgment will be the least among them, except for those who say such and such, gesturing with his right hand, in front of him, and to his left. We continued walking. He said, 'O Abu Dharr! Be as you are until I come to you.' Then he went away from me until he disappeared from my sight. I heard a commotion and a voice, so I said, 'Perhaps the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has encountered something.' I felt the urge to follow him, but then I remembered his words: 'Do not move from here until I come to you.' So I waited for him until he came back. I mentioned what I had heard, and he said, 'That was Jibril who came to me and said, "Whoever dies among your Ummah without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise."' I said, 'Even if he committed adultery or theft?' He said, 'Even if he committed adultery or theft.'"  

كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَرَّةِ الْمَدِينَةِ عِشَاءً وَنَحْنُ نَنْظُرُ إِلَى أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ أُحُدًا ذَاكَ عِنْدِي ذَهَبًا أُمْسِي ثَالِثَةًوَعِنْدِي مِنْهُ دِينَارٌ إِلَّا دِينَارًا أَرْصُدُهُ لِدَيْنٍ إِلَّا أَنْ أَقُولَ بِهِ فِي عِبَادِ اللهِ هَكَذَا وَحَثَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَشَيْنَا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّ الْأَكْثَرِينَ هُمُ الْأَقَلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَحَثَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَشَيْنَا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَمَا أَنْتَ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى تَوَارَى عَنِّي قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُ لَغَطًا وَصَوْتًا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَعَلَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَرَضَ لَهُ قَالَ فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَتْبَعَهُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَهُ لَا تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ فَانْتَظَرْتُهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَانِي فَقَالَ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ  

[Machine] He used to water his garden when a group of people came to him and he asked: "Which one of you will bring water for Abu Dhar and will estimate the number of hairs on his head?" A man said: "I will." So the man brought water for him and poured it into the basin, then he knocked on it. Abu Dhar was standing, so he sat down and then lay down. They asked him: "O Abu Dhar, why did you sit down and then lie down?" He replied: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, "If one of you becomes angry while standing, let him sit down. If his anger goes away, well and good, otherwise let him lie down."  

كَانَ يَسْقِي عَلَى حَوْضٍ لَهُ فَجَاءَ قَوْمٌ فَقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ يُورِدُ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَيَحْتَسِبُ شَعَرَاتٍ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَوْرَدَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْضَ فَدَقَّهُ وَكَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَائِمًا فَجَلَسَ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لِمَ جَلَسْتَ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعْتَ؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَنَا إِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَجْلِسْ فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ وَإِلَّا فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ  

"The Messenger of Allah (saas) said to me: "Shall I not tell you of a treasure which is one of the treasures of Paradise?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'" (sahih) (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3825)   

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَلْ لَكَ فِي كَنْزٍ مِنْ كَنْزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever among you fasts in the month (of Ramadan) for three days, then let him fast the three white days."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ صَائِمًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَلْيَصُمِ الثَّلَاثَ الْبِيضَ  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allahﷺ while he was in the shade of the Ka'bah, and he said, "They are the ones who will incur loss, by the Lord of the Ka'bah they are the ones who will incur loss, by the Lord of the Ka'bah." Then I became distressed and started taking deep breaths. He said, "I said, 'This is evil that has befallen me.'" He said, "I said, 'Who are they, O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you?' He said, 'They are the majority, except those who say such and such about the servants of Allah.' And very few are those who would leave behind camels, she-camels, or cows and not pay their due Zakat, except that they will come on the Day of Judgment as fat as they can be and will trample them with their hooves and butt them with their horns, until the matter is settled among the people. Then their first ones will return to their last ones.' Ibn Numayr said, 'Whenever their last ones were exhausted, their first ones would come back to them.'"  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ فَأَخَذَنِي غَمٌّ وَجَعَلْتُ أَتَنَفَّسُ قَالَ قُلْتُ هَذَا شَرٌّ حَدَثَ فِيَّ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنْ هُمْ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي؟ قَالَ الْأَكْثَرُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ فِي عِبَادِ اللهِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَمُوتُ فَيَتْرُكُ غَنَمًا أَوْ إِبِلًا أَوْ بَقَرًا لَمْ يُؤَدِّ زَكَاتَهَا إِلَّا جَاءَتْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْظَمَ مَا تَكُونُ وَأَسْمَنَ حَتَّى تَطَأَهُ بِأَظْلَافِهَا وَتَنْطَحَهُ بِقُرُونِهَا حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ تَعُودُ أُولَاهَا عَلَى أُخْرَاهَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ كُلَّمَا نَفِدَتْ أُخْرَاهَا عَادَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا  

[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque when the sun set. He said, "O Abu Dharr, do you know where the sun goes?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Indeed, it goes until it prostrates beneath the Throne of its Lord, then seeks permission to return, and permission is granted to it. It is as if it has been said to it, 'Go back to where you came from,' and so it returns to its rising place. That is its resting place." Then he recited, "And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point." (Surah Ya-Sin 36:38)  

كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حِينَ وَجَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ تَدْرِي أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ الشَّمْسُ؟ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا تَذْهَبُ حَتَّى تَسْجُدَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَبِّهَا فَتَسْتَأْذِنَ فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَيُؤْذَنَ لَهَا وَكَأَنَّهَا قَدْ قِيلَ لَهَا ارْجِعِي مِنْ حَيْثُ جِئْتِ فَتَرْجِعَ إِلَى مَطْلَعِهَا فَذَلِكَ مُسْتَقَرُّهَا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَهَا} [يس 38]  

[Machine] While the Prophet ﷺ was delivering a sermon, a Bedouin man with disheveled hair stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have been afflicted by wolves." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "That is not what concerns me the most for you. What troubles me the most is when worldly possessions are poured upon you. I wish that my Ummah does not adorn themselves with gold."  

بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فِيهِ جَفَاءٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكَلتْنَا الضَّبُعُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ أَخْوَفُ لِي عَلَيْكُمْ حِينَ تُصَبُّ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا صَبًّا فَيَا لَيْتَ أُمَّتِي لَا يَتَحَلَّوْنَ الذَّهَبَ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said to him, 'Fear Allah wherever you may be and follow up a bad deed with a good one, and it will erase it. And treat people with good manners.' Waki' (narrator) said, 'Sufyan once narrated from Mu'adh, and I found it in my book, from Abu Dharr, and it is the first heard narration.' "  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ اتَّقِ اللهَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ وَأَتْبِعِ السَّيِّئَةَ الْحَسَنَةَ تَمْحُهَا وَخَالِقِ النَّاسَ بِخُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً عَنْ مُعَاذٍ فَوَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِي عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَهُوَ السَّمَاعُ الْأَوَّلُ  

"There are three whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves, and three whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, hates. As for those whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, loves: A man who comes to some people and asks (to be given something) for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and not for the sake of their relationship, but they do not give him. So one man stayed behind and gave to him in secret, and no one knew of his giving except Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and the one to whom he gave it. People who travel all night until sleep becomes dearer to them than anything that may be equivalent to it, so they lay down their heads (and slept). Then a man among them got up and started praying to Me and beseeching Me, reciting MY Ayat. And a man who was on a campaign and met the enemy and they fled, but he went forward (pursuing them) until he was killed or Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, granted victory to him. And three whom Allah hates are the old man who commits Zina, the poor man who shows off, and the rich man who is unjust." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2570)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللهُ وَثَلَاثَةٌ يُبْغِضُهُمُ اللهُ أَمَّا الثَّلَاثَةُ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّهُمُ اللهُ فَرَجُلٌ أَتَى قَوْمًا فَسَأَلَهُمْ بِاللهِ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلْهُمْ بِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَهُمْ فَمَنَعُوهُ فَتَخَلَّفَ رَجُلٌ بِأَعْقَابِهِمْ فَأَعْطَاهُ سِرًّا لَا يَعْلَمُ بِعَطِيَّتِهِ إِلَّا اللهُ وَالَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ وَقَوْمٌ سَارُوا لَيْلَتَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ النَّوْمُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِمَّا يُعْدَلُ بِهِ نَزَلُوا فَوَضَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ فَقَامَ يَتَمَلَّقُنِي وَيَتْلُو آيَاتِي وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَلَقَوْا الْعَدُوَّ فَهُزِمُوا فَأَقْبَلَ بِصَدْرِهِ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ أَوْ يَفْتَحَ اللهُ لَهُ وَالثَّلَاثَةُ الَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُهُمُ اللهُ الشَّيْخُ الزَّانِي وَالْفَقِيرُ الْمُخْتَالُ وَالْغَنِيُّ الظَّلُومُ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "Indeed, Allah loves three and dislikes three. Allah dislikes an old man who commits adultery, a proud beggar, and a stingy giver. Allah loves three: a man who was in a unit of soldiers and took care of them until he was either killed or granted victory by Allah, a person who was in a group and they became lost, so they came down late at night and sleeping was more beloved to them than what was needed, but they slept and then stood up to recite my verses, and a person who was approached by a man seeking help from them due to the proximity between them and themselves, and they were stingy toward him, so he followed them, but they gave him something where only Allah could see."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ ثَلَاثَةً وَيُبْغِضُ ثَلَاثَةً يُبْغِضُ الشَّيْخَ الزَّانِيَ وَالْفَقِيرَ الْمُخْتَالَ وَالْمُكْثِرَ الْبَخِيلَ وَيُحِبُّ ثَلَاثَةً رَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي كَتِيبَةٍ فَكَرَّ يَحْمِيهِمْ حَتَّى قُتِلَ أَوْفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي قَوْمٍ فَأَدْلَجُوا فَنَزَلُوا مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ وَكَانَ النَّوْمُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِمَّا يُعْدَلُ بِهِ فَنَامُوا وَقَامَ يَتْلُو آيَاتِي وَيَتَمَلَّقُنِي وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي قَوْمٍ فَأَتَاهُمْ رَجُلٌ يَسْأَلُهُمْ بِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ فَبَخِلُوا عَنْهُ وَخَلَفَ بِأَعْقَابِهِمْ فَأَعْطَاهُ حَيْثُ لَا يَرَاهُ إِلَّا اللهُ وَمَنْ أَعْطَاهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah dislikes it, so he mentioned the matter."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ يُبْغِضُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say: "Whoever spends two of his pairs of wealth in the way of Allah, the curtains of Paradise will open for him." And he said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say: There are no two Muslims who have three of their children die before reaching puberty, except that Allah will enter them into Paradise by His mercy."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْأَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ مَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ابْتَدَرَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: If a man passes by a door without a covering and looks inside, then there is no sin upon him. The sin is only upon the inhabitants of the house."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنْ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى بَابٍ لَا سِتْرَ لَهُ غَيْرِ مُغْلَقٍ فَنَظَرَ فَلَا خَطِيئَةَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا الْخَطِيئَةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah ﷻ says: Whoever does a good deed will have ten times its reward or even more, and whoever does an evil deed, his punishment will be equivalent to it or I will forgive him. Whoever comes close to Me - a hand span - I will come closer to him an arm's length, and whoever comes closer to Me an arm's length, I will come closer to him with open arms. And whoever meets Me with sins equivalent to the amount on the earth, but does not associate anything with Me, I will forgive him the same amount. And whoever approaches Me walking, I will come to him running."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ مَنْ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا أَوْ أَزِيدُ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَجَزَاؤُهَا مِثْلُهَا أَوْ أَغْفِرُ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ قُرَابَ الْأَرْضِ خَطِيئَةً ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا جَعَلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَهَا مَغْفِرَةً وَمَنْ اقْتَرَبَ إِلَيَّ شِبْرًا اقْتَرَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا وَمَنْ اقْتَرَبَ إِلَيَّ ذِرَاعًا اقْتَرَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا وَمَنْ أَتَانِي يَمْشِي أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً  

[Machine] Abu Dhar, Muhammad ﷺ indeed left us, and no bird moves its wings in the sky except that he teaches us some knowledge from it.  

أَبُو ذَرٍّ لَقَدْ تَرَكَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ وَمَا يُحَرِّكُ طَائِرٌ جَنَاحَيْهِ فِي السَّمَاءِ إِلَّا أَذْكَرَنَا مِنْهُ عِلْمًا  

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] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, the rich have gone with the reward of praying, fasting, and performing Hajj." He said, "And you, do you not pray, fast, and perform Hajj?" I said, "They give charity and we do not give charity." He said, "In you is charity; your raising your bone from the path is charity, your guidance to the path is charity, your support of the weak by your strength is charity, your explanation of the unknown is charity, and your fulfilling the needs of your wife is charity." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if we indulge in our desires, will we be rewarded?" He said, "Do you see if you were to place it in the forbidden, would you be sinful?" I said, "Yes." He said, "So, you would be held accountable for evil but not held accountable for good."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ذَهَبَ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ بِالْأَجْرِ يُصَلُّونَ وَيَصُومُونَ وَيَحُجُّونَ قَالَ وَأَنْتُمْ تُصَلُّونَ وَتَصُومُونَ وَتَحُجُّونَ قُلْتُ يَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَا نَتَصَدَّقُ قَالَ وَأَنْتَ فِيكَ صَدَقَةٌ رَفْعُكَ الْعَظْمَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ وَهِدَايَتُكَ الطَّرِيقَ صَدَقَةٌ وَعَوْنُكَ الضَّعِيفَ بِفَضْلِ قُوَّتِكَ صَدَقَةٌ وَبَيَانُكَ عَنِ الْأَرْثَمِ صَدَقَةٌ وَمُبَاضَعَتُكَ امْرَأَتَكَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَأْتِي شَهْوَتَنَا وَنُؤْجَرُ؟ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ جَعَلْتَهُ فِي حَرَامٍ أَكُنْتَ تَأْثَمُ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَتَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالشَّرِّ وَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ بِالْخَيْرِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Fasting during the month of patience (Ramadan) and three days of every month is equivalent to fasting the whole of one's life, and it removes the impurities of the heart." I asked, "What are the impurities of the heart?" He said, "The whisperings of Satan."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ صَوْمُ شَهْرِ الصَّبْرِ وَثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْكُلِّ شَهْرٍ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ وَيُذْهِبُ مَغَلَةَ الصَّدْرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا مَغَلَةُ الصَّدْرِ؟ قَالَ رِجْسُ الشَّيْطَانِ  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is fasting?" He said, "It is a compensatory loan."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الصَّوْمُ؟ قَالَ قَرْضٌ مُجْزِئٌ  

Whenever the Prophet ﷺ lay on his bed, he used to say: "Allahumma bismika amutu wa ahya," and when he woke up he would say: "Al-hamdu lil-lahilladhi ahyana ba'da ma an atana, wa ilaihi an-nushur." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6325)  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ اللهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ  

“Allah the Blessed and Exalted says: ‘O My slaves, all of you are sinners except those whom I have saved. So ask Me for forgiveness, I will forgive you. Whoever among you knows that I have the power to forgive and asks Me to forgive by My power, I will forgive him. All of you are astray except those whom I guide. Ask Me for guidance and I will guide you. All of you are poor except those whom I enrich (make independent of means). Ask of Me and I will grant you provision. Even if your living and your dead, your first and your last, your fresh and your dry, were all as pious as the most pious among My slaves, that would not increase my dominion as much as a gnat’s wing, and if they were to be as evil as the most evil among My slaves, that would not detract from My dominion as much as a gnat’s wing. Even if your living and your dead, your first and your last, your fresh and your dry, were to join together and each of them were to ask for all that he wishes for, that would only detract from My dominion as much as if one of you were to pass by the edge of the sea and dip a needle in it and withdraw it. That is because I am the Most Generous, Majestic. I give with a word; when I will something, all I do is say to it “Be!” – and it is.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4257)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻيَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ مُذْنِبٌ إِلَّا مَنْ عَافَيْتُ فَاسْتَغْفِرُونِي أَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَمَنْ عَلِمَ أَنِّي أَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْمَغْفِرَةِ فَاسْتَغْفَرَنِي بِقُدْرَتِي غَفَرْتُ لَهُ وَلَا أُبَالِي وَكُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إِلَّا مَنْ هَدَيْتُ فَاسْتَهْدُونِي أَهْدِكُمْ وَكُلُّكُمْ فَقِيرٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَغْنَيْتُ فَاسْأَلُونِي أُغْنِكُمْ وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَحَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمْ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَشْقَى قَلْبٍ مِنْ قُلُوبِ عِبَادِي مَا نَقَصَ فِي مُلْكِي جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ وَلَوْ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَتْقَى قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِي مَا زَادَ فِي مُلْكِي جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَحَيَّكُمْ وَمَيِّتَكُمْ وَرَطْبَكُمْ وَيَابِسَكُمْ اجْتَمَعُوا فَسَأَلَنِي كُلُّ سَائِلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا بَلَغَتْ أُمْنِيَّتُهُ فَأَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ سَائِلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا سَأَلَ مَا نَقَصَنِي كَمَا لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مَرَّ بِشَفَةِ الْبَحْرِ فَغَمَسَ فِيهِ إِبْرَةً ثُمَّ انْتَزَعَهَا كَذَلِكَ لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ مُلْكِي ذَلِكَ بِأَنِّي جَوَادٌ مَاجِدٌ صَمَدٌ عَطَائِي كَلَامٌ وَعَذَابِي كَلَامٌ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا أَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ  

from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "Allah ﷻ says: O My servant, as long as you worship Me and place your hopes in Me, I will forgive you despite what you have done. And O My servant, if you meet Me with enough sins to fill the earth while not associating anything with Me, I will meet you with as much forgiveness."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ يَا عَبْدِي مَا عَبَدْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي فَإِنِّي غَافِرٌ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيكَ۔ وَيَا عَبْدِي إِنْ لَقِيتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطِيئَةً مَا لَمْ تُشْرِكْ بِي لَقِيتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً۔»  

[Machine] He said that because I am generous, finding and magnificent, my only gift is words.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ بِأَنِّي جَوَادٌ وَاجِدٌ مَاجِدٌ إِنَّمَا عَطَائِي كَلَامٌ  

[Machine] An Arab man approached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, the fox has devoured our livestock, which means the year's crops. He responded, "That is not what I am most afraid of for you in this world. Rather, what I fear for you is when this world is poured upon you, and oh how I wish that my nation does not wear gold."  

قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكَلَتْنَا الضَّبُعُ يَعْنِي السَّنَةَ قَالَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ أَخْوَفُ لِي عَلَيْكُمْ الدُّنْيَا إِذَا صُبَّتْ عَلَيْكُمْ صَبًّا فَيَا لَيْتَ أُمَّتِي لَا يَلْبَسُونَ الذَّهَبَ  

[Machine] Abu Dharr went to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in a state of ritual impurity. The Prophet ﷺ prayed for him with water, so he performed ablution and then said to him, "Indeed, the clean land is a purification for the Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years. And when he finds water, let him touch his skin with it, for indeed, that is better."  

أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَدْ أَجْنَبَ فَدَعَا لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمَاءٍ فَاسْتَتَرَ وَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ الصَّعِيدَ الطَّيِّبَ وَضُوءُ لِلْمُسْلِمِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَإِذَا وَجَدَ الْمَاءَ فَلْيُمِسَّهُ بَشَرَتَهُ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ هُوَ خَيْرٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed, you are in a time when the scholars are many, and the speakers (or preachers) are few. Those who leave behind what they do not know based on desire, or say things they do not have knowledge of, will perish. A time will come upon people when the scholars will decrease and the speakers will increase. Whoever clings to what he knows will be saved."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ فِي زَمَانٍ عُلَمَاؤُهُ كَثِيرٌ خُطَبَاؤُهُ قَلِيلٌ مَنْ تَرَكَ فِيهِ عُشَيْرَ مَا يَعْلَمُ هَوَى أَوْ قَالَ هَلَكَ وَسَيَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَقِلُّ عُلَمَاؤُهُ وَيَكْثُرُ خُطَبَاؤُهُ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ فِيهِ بِعُشَيْرِ مَا يَعْلَمُ نَجَا  

[Machine] Why shouldn't I cry when you die in a foreign land and I have no hand in burying you, and I don't have a shroud that would fit you to wrap you in it?" He said, "So don't cry and be glad, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "No two Muslim women have two children or three and they show patience and count on Allah except they will see the Fire forever." And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "One of you will die in a foreign land and a group of believers will witness him, and none of those people will be left except he has died in a village or a group." And indeed, I will be the one to die in a foreign land, by Allah, I have not lied nor have I been lied to.  

وَمَا لِي لَا أَبْكِي وَأَنْتَ تَمُوتُ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَلَا يَدَ لِي بِدَفْنِكَ وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي ثَوْبٌ يَسَعُكَ فَأُكَفِّنَكَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَلَا تَبْكِي وَأَبْشِرِي فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَمُوتُ بَيْنَ امْرَأَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ وَلَدَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَيَصْبِرَانِ وَيَحْتَسِبَانِ فَيَرَيَانِ النَّارَ أَبَدًا وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَيَمُوتَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَشْهَدُهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَيْسَ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ مَاتَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ أَوْ جَمَاعَةٍ وَإِنِّي أَنَا الَّذِي أَمُوتُ بِفَلَاةٍ وَاللهِ مَا كَذَبْتُ وَلَا كُذِبْتُ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari while he was on the pulpit in Al-Fustat saying, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'Whoever comes close to Allah by a handspan, Allah will come close to him by an arm's length. And whoever comes close to Allah by an arm's length, Allah will come close to him by a fathom. And whoever comes towards Allah walking, Allah will come towards him running.' By Allah, He is the highest and the greatest. By Allah, He is the highest and the greatest. By Allah, He is the highest and the greatest."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ بِالْفُسْطَاطِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللهِ شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ ذِرَاعًا وَمَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللهِ ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْهِ بَاعًا وَمَنْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى اللهِ مَاشِيًا أَقْبَلَ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ مُهَرْوِلًا وَاللهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ وَاللهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ وَاللهُ أَعْلَى وَأَجَلُّ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever commits fornication with a slave woman, whom he has not seen, Allah will lash him with a whip of fire on the Day of Judgment."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ زَنَّى أَمَةً لَمْ يَرَهَا تَزْنِي جَلَدَهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِسَوْطٍ مِنْ نَارٍ  

[Machine] "We came from a funeral, and we passed by Abu Dharr. He said, 'We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when the Muadhin (caller to prayer) wanted to call the Adhan for Dhuhr prayer. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Cool down (wait), then he wanted to call the Adhan again, and the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Cool down,' and on the third time he said, 'The third time is the most knowledgeable. Then we saw the shade of a tree and the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, the intensity of the heat is from the heat of Hellfire, so when the heat intensifies, cool down with prayer.'"  

جِئْنَا مِنْ جَنَازَةٍ فَمَرَرْنَا بِأَبِي ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَرَادَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ لِلظُّهْرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْرِدْ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْرِدْ وَالثَّالِثَةَ أَكْبَرُ عِلْمِي شُعْبَةُ قَالَ لَهُ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا فَيْءَ التُّلُولِ قَالَ إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the truthful and trustworthy, say: Allah ﷻ said, "A good deed is worth ten or more, and a bad deed is only one, or I may forgive it. So whoever meets Me without associating anything with Me, I will grant him a forgiveness equal to it."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّادِقَ الْمَصْدُوقَ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ الْحَسَنَةُ عَشْرٌ أَوْ أَزِيدُ وَالسَّيِّئَةُ وَاحِدَةٌ أَوْ أَغْفِرُهَا فَمَنْ لَقِيَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطِيئَةً جَعَلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَهَا مَغْفِرَةً  

Abu Dharr said (and not the Prophet): If there is not anything like the back of a saddle in front of a man who is praying, then a donkey, a black dog, and a woman cut off his prayer. I asked him: Why has the black dog been specified, distinguishing it from a red, a yellow and a white dog? He replied: My nephew, I also asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the same question as you asked me. He said: The black dog is a devil. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 702)   

يَقْطَعُ صَلَاةَ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ مَا بَالُ الْكَلْبِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْكَلْبِ الْأَحْمَرِ؟ قَالَ يَا ابْنَأَخِي سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ  

[Machine] Abu Dhar, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, can a person love a people but not be able to do their deeds?" He (the Prophet) said, "You, Abu Dhar, are with those whom you love." I said, "Indeed, I love Allah and His Messenger, may He repeat it once or twice."  

أَبُو ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّ الْقَوْمَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ؟ قَالَ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُعِيدُهَا مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man does a good deed and people praise him and commend him for it." The Prophet ﷺ said, "That is the quick good news for the believer."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ يَعْمَلُ الْعَمَلَ فَيَحْمَدُهُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ وَيُثْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تِلْكَ عَاجِلُ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised me that if I cook a pot of soup, I should increase its broth, as it would be more sufficient for the neighbors.  

أَوْصَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا طَبَخْتُ قِدْرًا أَنْ أُكْثِرَ مَرَقَتَهَا فَإِنَّهُ أَوْسَعُ لِلْجِيرَانِ  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ came to me while I was sleeping in the mosque of Madinah and he hit me with his foot. He said, "Don't you see yourself sleeping here?" I said, "O Prophet of Allah, my eyes overcame me." He asked, "What will you do when you are taken out of here?" I said, "I will go to the blessed and sacred land of Sham (Syria)." He asked, "What will you do when you are taken out of Sham?" I said, "I will go back to it." He asked, "What will you do when you are taken out of there?" I said, "What else can I do, O Prophet of Allah, except fight with my sword?" So, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Shouldn't I show you what is better for you than that and closer to guidance? Listen and obey, and follow them wherever they lead you."  

أَتَانِي نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَضَرَبَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَرَاكَ نَائِمًا فِيهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي قَالَ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ آتِي الشَّامَ الْأَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الْمُبَارَكَةَ قَالَ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنَ الشَّامِ؟ قَالَ أَعُودُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ إِذَا أُخْرِجْتَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ مَا أَصْنَعُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَضْرِبُ بِسَيْفِي؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَقْرَبُ رُشْدًا؟ تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ وَتَنْسَاقُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ سَاقُوكَ

عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ  

[Machine] "He (Abu Dharr) was with Abu Dharr when his servant girl went out with him, and she started fulfilling his needs. He then had a surplus of seven (dirhams), so he commanded her to buy gold coins with it. I said to him, 'If you had saved it for a need that you might have or for guests who might come to you?' He said, 'Indeed, my friend (the Prophet) commanded me that any gold or silver that came to me and I didn't spend it in the path of Allah, it would be like a burning ember on me until I emptied it in the path of Allah.'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَخَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ وَمَعَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ فَجَعَلَتْ تَقْضِي حَوَائِجَهُ قَالَ فَفَضَلَ مَعَهَا سَبْعٌ قَالَ فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بِهِ فُلُوسًا قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ لَوْ ادَّخَرْتَهُ لِلْحَاجَةٍ تَنُوبُكَ أَوْ لِلضَّيْفِيَنْزِلُ بِكَ قَالَ إِنَّ خَلِيلِي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَيُّمَا ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ أُوكِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ جَمْرٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ حَتَّى يُفْرِغَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ﷻ  

[Machine] He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The people who love me the most among my Ummah (nation) are those who will come after me. Each one of them would love to see me even by sacrificing his family and wealth."  

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَشَدُّ أُمَّتِي لِي حُبًّا قَوْمٌ يَكُونُونَ أَوْ يَخْرُجُونَ بَعْدِي يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنَّهُ أَعْطَى أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ وَأَنَّهُ رَآنِي  

That the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed the best of what the gray may be changed with is Henna' and Katam." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1753)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ مَا غُيِّرَ بِهِ الشَّيْبُ الْحِنَّاءُ وَالْكَتَمُ  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "There is no power or strength except with Allah, from the treasures of Jannah (Paradise)."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ  

“I heard Abu Dharr say: ‘The Prophet ﷺ stood reciting a Verse and repeating it until morning came. That Verse was: “If you punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You, are the All- Mighty, the All-Wise.’”” [5:118] (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1350)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَرَدَّدَهَا حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ {إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ} [المائدة 118]
