[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ that one day he rode on a donkey named "Ya'foor", his reins were made of a type of flax. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Ride, O Mu'adh!" So I said, "Go ahead, O Messenger of Allah." Then he rode and the donkey stumbled with us. The Prophet ﷺ started laughing, and while I was feeling sorry for myself, he did it again for a second time, and then a third time. Then he rode and the donkey walked with us. He put his hand behind and struck my back with a whip or stick he had. Then he said, "O Mu'adh, do you know the right of Allah upon His servants?" So I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "The right of Allah upon His servants is that they should worship Him and not associate anything with Him." He said, "Then he walked as Allah willed, and then put his hand again and struck my back. He said, "O Mu'adh, son of Mu'adh's mother, do you know the right of the servants upon Allah if they do that?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "The right of the servants upon Allah if they do that is that He will admit them to Paradise."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ يَوْمًا عَلَى حِمَارٍ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَعْفُورٌ رَسَنُهُ مِنْ لِيفٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ارْكَبْ يَا مُعَاذُ فَقُلْتُ سِرْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ ارْكَبْ فَرَدَفْتُهُ فَصُرِعَ الْحِمَارُ بِنَا فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَضْحَكُ وَقُمْتُ أَذْكُرُ مِنْ نَفْسِي أَسَفًا ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ فَرَكِبَ وَسَارَ بِنَا الْحِمَارُ فَأَخْلَفَ يَدَهُ فَضَرَبَ ظَهْرِي بِسَوْطٍ مَعَهُ أَوْ عَصًا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ فَقُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ ثُمَّ سَارَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ أَخْلَفَ يَدَهُ فَضَرَبَ ظَهْرِي فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ مُعَاذٍ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا هُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said to Mu'adh, 'It is better for you that Allah guides a person through you, than for you to have red camels [a renowned symbol of wealth].' "  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ يَا مُعَاذُ أَنْ يَهْدِيَ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْكَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised me with ten words. He said: Do not associate anything with Allah, even if you are killed or burned. Do not disobey your parents, even if they order you to leave your family and wealth. Do not neglect the obligatory prayers intentionally, for whoever leaves the obligatory prayer intentionally, Allah's protection is lifted from him. Do not drink alcohol, as it is the root of every evil. Beware of committing sins, for sins bring about Allah's anger. Beware of fleeing from the battlefield, even if people are killed and you are among them, remain steadfast. Provide for your family based on your ability and do not raise your stick toward them as a sign of discipline. Honor them in the sight of Allah.  

أَوْصَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَشْرِ كَلِمَاتٍ قَالَ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا وَإِنْ قُتِلْتَ وَحُرِّقْتَ وَلَا تَعُقَّنَّ وَالِدَيْكَ وَإِنْ أَمَرَاكَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ وَلَا تَتْرُكَنَّ صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً مُتَعَمِّدًا؛ فَإِنَّ مَنْ تَرَكَ صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً مُتَعَمِّدًا فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ ذِمَّةُ اللهِ وَلَا تَشْرَبَنَّ خَمْرًا؛ فَإِنَّهُ رَأْسُ كُلِّ فَاحِشَةٍ وَإِيَّاكَ وَالْمَعْصِيَةَ؛فَإِنَّ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ حَلَّ سَخَطُ اللهِ ﷻ وَإِيَّاكَ وَالْفِرَارَ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ وَإِنْ هَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَإِذَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مُوتَانٌ وَأَنْتَ فِيهِمْ فَاثْبُتْ وَأَنْفِقْ عَلَى عِيَالِكَ مِنْ طَوْلِكَ وَلَا تَرْفَعْ عَنْهُمْ عَصَاكَ أَدَبًا وَأَخِفْهُمْ فِي اللهِ  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever is in charge of any matter for the people and seeks to hide from those who are weak or are in need, Allah will distant Himself from him on the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ شَيْئًا فَاحْتَجَبَ عَنْ أُولِي الضَّعَفَةِ وَالْحَاجَةِ احْتَجَبَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ۔»  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited this verse: 'The companions of the right (hand)' (Al-Waqi'ah 27) and 'The companions of the left (hand)' (Al-Waqi'ah 41). Then he clenched his hands and said, 'These are the people of Paradise, and I do not care about it, and these are the people of the Hellfire, and I do not care about it.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ} [الواقعة 27] {وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ} [الواقعة 41] فَقَبَضَ بِيَدَيْهِ قَبْضَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَا أُبَالِي وَهَذِهِ فِي النَّارِ وَلَا أُبَالِي  

[Machine] Mu'adh came to them from Yemen, and a woman from Khawlān met him with her twelve children. She left their father at home, the youngest of whom had been breastfeeding, and she greeted Mu'adh and two men from her sons were holding onto her garment. She asked him, "Who sent you, O man?" Mu'adh replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me." The woman said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent you and you are the messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? Why don't you inform me, O messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" So Mu'adh said, "Ask me whatever you wish." She asked, "Tell me about the rights of a man over his wife?" Mu'adh said, "Fear Allah as much as you can, listen and obey." She said, "By Allah, I vowed that you would inform me about the rights of a man over his wife." Mu'adh said, "Even if you were to hear and obey and fear Allah?" She replied, "Yes, but tell me about the rights of a man over his wife. For I have left my father, an elderly man, at home." Mu'adh said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Mu'adh, if you were to return and find him with leprosy, with his flesh and the tips of his fingers oozing pus and blood, you would still lick them to fulfill his rights upon you."  

أَنَّ مُعَاذًا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْيَمَنِ فَلَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَوْلَانَ مَعَهَا بَنُونَ لَهَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ فَتَرَكَتْ أَبَاهُمْ فِي بَيْتِهَا أَصْغَرُهُمُ الَّذِي قَدِ اجْتَمَعَتْ لِحْيَتُهُ فَقَامَتْ فَسَلَّمَتْ عَلَى مُعَاذٍ وَرَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَنِيهَا يُمْسِكَانِ بِضَبْعَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ مَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ؟ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَرْسَلَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺوَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ‍؟ أَفَلَا تُخْبِرُنِي يَا رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ سَلِينِي عَمَّا شِئْتِ قَالَتْ حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ؟ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ تَتَّقِي اللهَ مَا اسْتَطَاعَتْ وَتَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ قَالَتْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِاللهِ عَلَيْكَ لَتُحَدِّثَنِّي مَا حَقُّ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ؟ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ أَوَ مَا رَضِيتِ أَنْ تَسْمَعِي وَتُطِيعِي وَتَتَّقِي اللهَ؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ؛ فَإِنِّي تَرَكْتُ أَبَا هَؤُلَاءِ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا فِي الْبَيْتِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُعَاذٍ فِي يَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّكِ تَرْجِعِينَ إِذَا رَجَعْتِ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتِ الْجُذَامَ قَدْ خَرَقَ لَحْمَهُ وَخَرَقَ مَنْخِرَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتِ مَنْخِرَيْهِ يَسِيلَانِ قَيْحًا وَدَمًا ثُمَّ أَلْقَمْتِيهِمَا فَاكِ لِكَيْ مَا تَبْلُغِي حَقَّهُ مَا بَلَغْتِ ذَلِكَ أَبَدًا  

the Prophet said: “Should I not inform you of the best of your deed, and the purest of them with your Master, and the highest of them in your ranks, and what is better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks, and they strike your necks?” They said: “Of course.” He said, “The remembrance of Allah [Most High].” [Then] Mu’adh bin Jabal [may Allah be pleased with him] said: “There is nothing that brings more salvation from the punishment of Allah than the remembrance of Allah.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3377)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا عَمِلَ آدَمِيٌّ عَمَلًا قَطُّ أَنْجَى لَهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ وقَالَ مُعَاذٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِكُمْ؟ وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ تَعَاطِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَمِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ غَدًا فَتَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ ذِكْرُ اللهِ  

[Machine] I entered the mosque of Hims and found around thirty young men from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ. Among them was a young man with dark eyes and radiant complexion, silent and serene. Whenever the people needed something, they would come to him and ask him. I asked my neighbor, "Who is this?" He replied, "This is Mu'adh ibn Jabal." I developed a love for him in my heart and I stayed with them until they dispersed. Then I migrated to the mosque and there I found Mu'adh ibn Jabal standing and praying near a column. He remained silent and did not speak to me. I prayed and then sat down, wrapping myself in my cloak. He sat there silently without speaking to me, and I also remained silent. Then I said, "By Allah, I love you." He asked, "For what reason do you love me?" I replied, "For the sake of Allah the Most Blessed and Exalted." He held my collar and pulled me towards him gently, then he said, "Rejoice! If you are truthful, then I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Those who love each other for my sake will have pulpits of light, and they will envy the prophets and martyrs.'" He then left, and I met Ubada ibn As-Samit and said to him, "O Abu Al-Walid, I inform you of what Mu'adh ibn Jabal said about those who love each other for the sake of Allah." Ubada replied, "Let me tell you what the Prophet ﷺ said about this. He said, 'By Him in Whose Hand is my soul, your love for the sake of Allah is confirmed. Your love for those you meet and accompany is confirmed. And your love for those you spend money on and support is confirmed. And your love for those you maintain ties with is confirmed.'"  

دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ حِمْصَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ نَحْوٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ كَهْلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَإِذَا فِيهِمْ شَابٌّ أَكْحَلُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ بَرَّاقُ الثَّنَايَا سَاكِتٌ فَإِذَا امْتَرَى الْقَوْمُ فِي شَيْءٍ أَقْبَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقُلْتُ لِجَلِيسٍ لِي مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فَوَقَعَ لَهُ فِي نَفْسِي حُبٌّ فَكُنْتُ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى تَفَرَّقُوا ثُمَّ هَجَّرْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ فَسَكَتَ لَا يُكَلِّمُنِي فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَاحْتَبَيْتُ بِرِدَائِي ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَسَكَتَ لَا يُكَلِّمُنِي وَسَكَتُّ لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ قَالَ فِيمَ تُحِبُّنِي؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ فِي اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَأَخَذَ بِحُبْوَتِي فَجَرَّنِي إِلَيْهِ هُنَيَّةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبْشِرْ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْمُتَحَابُّونَ فِي جَلَالِي لَهُمْ مَنَابِرُ مِنْ نُورٍ يَغْبِطُهُمُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ 10 قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ لَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِمَا حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فِي الْمُتَحَابِّينَ قَالَ فَأَنَا أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ ﷻ قَالَ حَقَّتْمَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَبَاذِلِينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَوَاصِلِينَ فِيَّ  

[Machine] On the Day of Resurrection, the believers will be raised barefoot, unclothed, and with eyes darkened, the age of thirty years.  

نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يُبْعَثُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ جُرْدًا مُرْدًا مُكَحَّلِينَ بَنِي ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً  

[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah, seeking him. It was said to me that he had gone out. So, I decided not to appoint anyone until it was said to me that he had just passed. I kept going until I found him standing and praying. I approached him and stood behind him. The prayer became longer, and when he finished the prayer, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you have prayed a long prayer.' The Messenger of Allah replied, 'Indeed, I have prayed a prayer out of desire and fear. I asked Allah for three things, and He granted me two and prevented me from one. I asked Him that my Ummah not be destroyed by drowning, and He granted it. I asked Him that He not make an enemy from outside of them overpower them, and He granted it. And I asked Him that He not cause them to fight amongst themselves, and He returned that to me.'"

Note: The ṣalāh mentioned in the passage refers to the Islamic prayer.  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَطْلُبُهُ فَقِيلَ لِي خَرَجَ قَبْلُ قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ لَا أَمُرُّ بِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مَرَّ قَبْلُ حَتَّى مَرَرْتُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي قَالَ فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ خَلْفَهُ قَالَ فَأَطَالَ الصَّلَاةَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِلَقَدْ صَلَّيْتَ صَلَاةً طَوِيلَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ صَلَاةَ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ سَأَلْتُ اللهَ ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَ أُمَّتِي غَرَقًا فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيَّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "O Mu'adh, whoever dies while not associating anything with Allah, shall enter Paradise."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ يَا مُعَاذُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) sent me to confirm the belief of the people of Yemen and commanded me to take from every thirty cows for sale. Harun said, "The sale refers to a yearling or yearling female calf, and from every forty, an older female." They presented to me the option of taking from the forty. Harun said, "Between the forty and fifty."  

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُصَدِّقُ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ تَبِيعًا قَالَ هَارُونُ وَالتَّبِيعُ الْجَذَعُ أَوِ الْجَذَعَةُ وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً قَالَ فَعَرَضُوا عَلَيَّ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ قَالَ هَارُونُ مَا بَيْنَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ والْخَمْسِينَ  

[Machine] "It is the mercy of your Lord and the supplication of your Prophet and the gathering of the righteous before you. O Allah, grant the family of Mu'adh their share of this mercy. Then he descended from his position and entered upon Abdurrahman bin Mu'adh. Abdurrahman said, 'The truth is from your Lord, so be not of those who are skeptical.' (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:147). Mu'adh said, 'You will find me, if Allah wills, among the patient.' (Surah As-Saaffat, 37:102)."  

إِنَّهَا رَحْمَةُ رَبِّكُمْ وَدَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَقَبْضُ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ اللهُمَّ أَدْخِلْ عَلَى آلِ مُعَاذٍ نَصِيبَهُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الرَّحْمَةِ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مِنْ مَقَامِهِ ذَلِكَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ {الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ} [البقرة 147] فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ {سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ} [الصافات 102]  

[Machine] Two men argued in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and one of them became so angry that it seemed to me that his nose would twitch with anger. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I know a word that if he were to say it, his anger would go away. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from Satan, the accursed."  

اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ أَنْفَهُ لَيَتَمَزَّعُ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ يَقُولُهَا هَذَا الْغَضْبَانُ لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ  

"Whoever fasts Ramadan, performs the Salat, performs Hajj to the House" - I do not know whether he mentioned Zakat or not - "except that it is binding on Allah that He forgive him, whether he emigrated in the cause of Allah, or remained in his land in which he was born." Mu'adh said: "Should I not inform the people of this?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave the people to do deeds, for verily in Paradise there are a hundred levels, what is between every two levels is like what is between the heavens and the earth. Al-Firdaus is the highest of Paradise and its most expansive, and above that is the Throne of Ar-Rahman (the Most Merciful), and from it the rivers of Paradise are made to flow forth. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaus." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2530)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَحَجَّ الْبَيْتَ وَصَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَلَا أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَ الزَّكَاةَ أَمْ لَا؟ كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُ إِنْ هَاجَرَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ أَوْ مَكَثَ بِأَرْضِهِ الَّتِي وُلِدَ بِهَا فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِأَفَأُخْبِرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ ذَرِ النَّاسَ يَا مُعَاذُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ وَالْفِرْدَوْسُ أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَأَوْسَطُهَا وَمِنْهَا تَفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللهَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "You will migrate to Ash-Sham, and it will be opened for you. Then, a disease like the pustules or the itch will appear among you, affecting the body of a person and causing him to martyr himself for Allah. By this, Allah will purify their deeds. O Allah, if you know that Mu'adh bin Jabal heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then grant him and his family the greatest portion of it. But the plague struck them, and none of them remained except that he was stabbed in his index finger. He used to say, 'What pleases me is that I have with it the red camels.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَتُهَاجِرُونَ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَيُفْتَحُ لَكُمْ وَيَكُونُ فِيكُمْ دَاءٌ كَالدُّمَّلِ أَوْ كَالْحَرَّةِ يَأْخُذُ بِمَرَاقِّ الرَّجُلِ يَسْتَشْهِدُ اللهُ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَيُزَكِّي بِهِ أَعْمَالَهُمْ اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْطِهِ هُوَ وَأَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ الْحَظَّ الْأَوْفَرَ مِنْهُ فَأَصَابَهُمُ الطَّاعُونُ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فَطُعِنَ فِي أُصْبُعِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِي بِهَا حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ  

[Machine] Two men from the children of Israel were enrolled under the covenant of Moses, ﷺ . One of them was a Muslim and the other was a polytheist. The polytheist claimed, "I am so and so, the son of so and so," until he reached nine generations. Then he said to his companion, "You have no lineage." The Muslim replied, "I am so and so, the son of so and so, and I am innocent of what is beyond that." Moses called the people and gathered them, then said, "Your cases have been decided. As for the one who claimed lineage up to nine generations, you are the tenth among them in the Fire. And as for the one who claimed lineage to his parents, you are a man from the people of Islam."  

انْتَسَبَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى عَهْدِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَحَدُهُمَا مُسْلِمٌ وَالْآخَرُ مُشْرِكٌ فَانْتَسَبَ الْمُشْرِكُ فَقَالَ أَنَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ تِسْعَةَ آبَاءٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ انْتَسِبْ لَا أُمَّ لَكَ قَالَ أَنَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ وَأَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِمَّا وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَنَادَى مُوسَى النَّاسَ فَجَمَعَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَدْ قُضِيَبَيْنَكُمَا أَمَّا الَّذِي انْتَسَبَ إِلَى تِسْعَةِ آبَاءٍ فَأَنْتَ فَوْقَهُمُ الْعَاشِرُ فِي النَّارِ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي انْتَسَبَ إِلَى أَبَوَيْهِ فَأَنْتَ امْرُؤٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are no two Muslims who pass away and for whom three things are fulfilled, except that Allah will admit them to Paradise by His mercy. They asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what are those three things?'. He replied, 'Two [people]'. They asked, 'Or two [people]?' He replied, 'Or one [person]'. Then he said, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, even the miscarried fetus will pull its mother towards Paradise if she awaits it with patience'."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةٌ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمَا اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمَا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوْ اثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ أَوْ اثْنَانِ قَالُوا أَوْ وَاحِدٌ؟ قَالَ أَوْ وَاحِدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ السِّقْطَ لَيَجُرُّ أُمَّهُ بِسَرَرِهِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا احْتَسَبَتْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Whoever dies while not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise." And Hammad said: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to Mu'adh"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَقَدْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِمُعَاذٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no Muslim who spends the night remembering Allah in a state of purity, and then becomes startled during the night and asks Allah for good in this world and in the Hereafter, except that Allah grants it to him." Thabit came to us and narrated this hadith, and I don't know it except from Abu Thabiyyah. I asked Hammad about Mu'adh, and he said it is narrated from Mu'adh.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَبِيتُ عَلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ طَاهِرًا فَيَتَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَسْأَلُ اللهَ خَيْرًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ فَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا فَحَدَّثَنَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا يَعْنِي أَبَا ظَبْيَةَ قُلْتُ لِحَمَّادٍ عَنْ مُعَاذٍ؟ قَالَ عَنْ مُعَاذٍ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entrusted to us five things, whoever does any of them, will be guaranteed by Allah: visiting the sick, attending a funeral procession, participating in jihad for the sake of Allah, greeting and respecting an imam when entering his presence, and staying at home to ensure the safety and security of people."  

عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي خَمْسٍ مَنْ فَعَلَ مِنْهُنَّ كَانَ ضَامِنًا عَلَى اللهِ مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ خَرَجَ مَعَ جَنَازَةٍ أَوْ خَرَجَ غَازِيًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ دَخَلَ عَلَى إِمَامٍ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ تَعْزِيرَهُ وَتَوْقِيرَهُ أَوْ قَعَدَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَيَسْلَمُ النَّاسُ مِنْهُ وَيَسْلَمُ  

The Prophet ﷺ was engaged in the Battle of Tabuk. If he moved off before the sun had declined, he would delay the noon prayer till he would combine it with the afternoon prayer and would offer them together. If he moved off after the sun had declined, he would combine the noon and afternoon prayers, and then he proceeded; if he moved off before the evening prayer, he would delay the evening prayer; he would offer it along with the night prayer, he would delay the evening prayer; he would offer it along with the night prayer. If he moved off after the evening prayer, he would offer the night prayer earlier and offer it along with the evening prayer. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has not been narrated by anyone except by Qutaibah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1220)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ إِذَا ارْتَحَلَ قَبْلَ زَيْغِ الشَّمْسِ أَخَّرَ الظُّهْرَ حَتَّى يَجْمَعَهَا إِلَى الْعَصْرِ يُصَلِّيهِمَا جَمِيعًا وَإِذَا ارْتَحَلَ بَعْدَ زَيْغِ الشَّمْسِ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَارَ وَكَانَ إِذَا ارْتَحَلَ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ أَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا مَعَ الْعِشَاءِ وَإِذَا ارْتَحَلَ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ عَجَّلَ الْعِشَاءَ فَصَلَّاهَا مَعَ الْمَغْرِبِ  

[Machine] "Abdullah said: I heard it from Harun who narrated from Ibn Wahb who informed me that Yahya ibn Ayoub reported from Ubeidullah ibn Zahr who reported from Abdul Rahman ibn Rafi' al-Tanukhi, the judge of Ifriqiya, that Mu'adh ibn Jabal arrived in Sham (Greater Syria) and the people of Sham did not perform the Witr prayer. So Mu'awiyah asked him, 'Why do I see the people of Sham not performing the Witr prayer?' Mu'awiyah replied, 'Is it obligatory upon them?' Mu'adh said, 'Yes, I have heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying: My Lord has increased me with a prayer, which is Witr, and its time is from after 'Isha' prayer to the dawn.'"  

عَبْدُ اللهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ التَّنُوخِيِّ قَاضِي إِفْرِيقِيَّةَ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَدِمَ الشَّامَ وَأَهْلُ الشَّامِ لَا يُوتِرُونَ فَقَالَ لِمُعَاوِيَةَ مَا لِي أَرَى أَهْلَ الشَّامِ لَا يُوتِرُونَ؟ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَوَاجِبٌ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ زَادَنِي رَبِّي ﷻ صَلَاةً وَهِيَ الْوِتْرُ وَقْتُهَا مَا بَيْنَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ  

While I was riding behind the Prophet ﷺ as a companion rider and there was nothing between me and him except the back of the saddle, he said, "O Muʿadh!" I replied, "Labbaik O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! And Saʿdaik!" He proceeded for a while and then said, "O Muʿadh!" I said, "Labbaik and Saʿdaik, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He then proceeded for another while and said, "O Muʿadh bin Jabal!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Saʿdaik!" He said, "Do you know what is Allah's right on His slaves?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "Allah's right on his slaves is that they should worship Him and not worship anything besides Him." He then proceeded for a while, and again said, "O Muʿadh bin Jabal!" I replied. "Labbaik, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Saʿdaik." He said, "Do you know what is (Allah's) slaves' (people's) right on Allah if they did that?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "The right of (Allah's) slaves on Allah is that He should not punish them (if they did that). (Using translation from Bukhārī 6500)  

قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا رَدِيفُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ إِلَّا آخِرَةُ الرَّحْلِ فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ فَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ  

[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ similar to it or like it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ أَوْ مِثْلَهُ  

[Machine] I used to ride behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , there was only the back of the saddle between me and him, and he mentioned something similar to it.  

كُنْتُ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ إِلَّا آخِرَةُ الرَّحْلِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Shall I not guide you to a door among the doors of Paradise?' He said, 'I said, indeed yes.' He said, 'There is no power or strength except by Allah.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ  

[Machine] From some of the companions of Mu'adh from the people of Hims, it is reported that Mu'adh said: The Prophet ﷺ said to Mu'adh bin Jabal when he sent him to Yemen, "How will you judge if a matter is presented to you?" Mu'adh replied, "I will judge according to the Book of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "And if you do not find it in the Book of Allah?" Mu'adh said, "Then I will judge according to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "And if you do not find it in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah?" Mu'adh said, "Then I will exert my own judgement." The Prophet ﷺ then patted Mu'adh's chest and said, "All praise is due to Allah who has made the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ successful in what pleases his Messenger."  

عَنْ نَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُعَاذٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ حِمْصٍعَنْ مُعَاذٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ حِينَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَذَكَرَ كَيْفَ تَقْضِي إِنْ عَرَضَ لَكَ قَضَاءٌ؟ قَالَ أَقْضِي بِكِتَابِ اللهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ فَبِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي سَنَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ أَجْتَهِدُ رَأْيِي وَلَا آلُو قَالَ فَضَرَبَ صَدْرِي فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَفَّقَ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِمَا يُرْضِي رَسُولَهُ  

“No woman annoys her husband in the world except that his wife among the Al-Huril-Ain said: ‘Do not annoy him, may Allah destroy you, he is only like a guest with, soon he will part from you for us.’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1174)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تُؤْذِي امْرَأَةٌ زَوْجَهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا قَالَتْ زَوْجَتُهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ لَا تُؤْذِيهِ قَاتَلَكِ اللهُ؛ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ عِنْدَكِ دَخِيلٌ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُفَارِقَكِ إِلَيْنَا  

[Machine] "For me, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has the keys to paradise: witnessing that there is no god but Allah."  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَفَاتِيحُ الْجَنَّةِ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "Their sides forsake their beds, calling upon their Lord in fear and aspiration." (Surah As-Sajdah, 16) He also said, "The standing of a servant at night..."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ {تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا} [السجدة 16] قَالَ قِيَامُ الْعَبْدِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, he is one of the ten in Paradise."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ عَاشِرُ عَشَرَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he was sent to Yemen, said, "Beware of extravagance, for the servants of Allah are not extravagant people."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا بَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَالَ إِيَّاكَ وَالتَّنَعُّمَ؛ فَإِنَّ عِبَادَ اللهِ لَيْسُوا بِالْمُتَنَعِّمِينَ  

"The people of Paradise shall enter Paradise without body hair, Murd, with Kuhl on their eyes, thirty years of age or thirty-three years." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2545)   

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَوْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَدْخُلُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ جُرْدًا مُرْدًا مُكَحَّلِينَ بَنِي ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ  

from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that “Satan is a wolf of humanity like the wolf who seizes the sheep wandering and straying from the flock. Beware of the winding mountain paths: you must stay with the broader group."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ ذِئْبُ الْإِنْسَانِ كَذِئْبِ الْغَنَمِ يَأْخُذُ الشَّاةَ الْقَاصِيَةَ وَالنَّاحِيَةَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالشِّعَابَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ وَالْعَامَّةِ.»  

[Machine] The Prophet صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ prayed a prayer in which he excelled in the bowing, prostration, and standing. I mentioned this to him and he said, "This is a prayer of desire and awe. I asked my Lord in it three times, and He gave me two of them and did not give me one. I asked Him that He not let my nation be destroyed by famine, so He gave me that. And I asked Him that He not let an enemy from outside them dominate over them, so He gave me that. And I asked Him that He not cause their destruction from fighting amongst themselves, so He prevented me from that."  

صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلَاةً فَأَحْسَنَ فِيهَا الرُّكُوعَوَالسُّجُودَ وَالْقِيَامَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ صَلَاةُ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي فِيهَا ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُعْطِنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَقْتُلَ أُمَّتِي بِسَنَةِ جُوعٍ فَيَهْلَكُوا فَأَعْطَانِي وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَأَعْطَانِي وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَمَنَعَنِي  

"One morning, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prevented from coming to us for Salat As-Subh, until we were just about to look for the eye of the sun (meaning sunrise). Then he came out quickly, had the Salat prepared for. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Salat, and he performed his Salat in a relatively quick manner. When he said the Salam, he called aloud with his voice saying to us: 'Stay in your rows as you are.' Then he turned coming near to us, then he said: 'I am going to narrate to you what kept me from you this morning: I got up during the night, I performed Wudu and prayed as much as I was able to, and I dozed off during my Salat, and fell deep asleep. Then I saw my Lord, Blessed and Most High, in the best of appearances. He said: 'O Muhammad!' I said: 'My Lord here I am my Lord!' He said: 'What is it that the most exalted group busy themselves with?' I said: 'I do not know Lord.' And He said it three times." He said: "So I saw Him place His Palm between my shoulders, and I sensed the coolness of His Fingertips between my breast. Then everything was disclosed for me, and I became aware. So He said: 'O Muhammad!' I said: 'Here I am my Lord!' He said: 'What is it that the most exalted group busy themselves with?' I said: 'In the acts that atone.' He said: 'And what are they?' I said: 'The footsteps to the congregation, the gatherings in the Masajid after the Salat, Isbagh Al-Wudu during difficulties.' He said: 'Then what else?' I said: 'Feeding others, being lenient in speech, and Salat during the night while the people are sleeping.' He said: 'Ask.' I said: 'O Allah! I ask of you the doing of the good deeds, avoiding the evil deeds, loving the poor, and that You forgive me, and have mercy upon me. And when You have willed Fitnah in the people, then take me without the Fitnah. And I ask You for Your love, the love of whomever You love, and the love of the deeds that bring one nearer to Your love.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed it is true, so study it and learn it." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3235)   

احْتَبَسَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى كِدْنَا نَتَرَاءَى قَرْنَ الشَّمْسِ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَرِيعًا فَثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَصَلَّى وَتَجَوَّزَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ كَمَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَى مَصَافِّكُمْ كَمَا أَنْتُمْ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ مَا حَبَسَنِي عَنْكُمُ الْغَدَاةَ إِنِّي قُمْتُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَا قُدِّرَ لِي فَنَعَسْتُ فِي صَلَاتِي حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَظْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَبِّي فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَتَدْرِي فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي يَا رَبِّ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي رَبِّ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي يا رَبِّ فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ أَنَامِلِهِ بَيْنَ صَدْرِي فَتَجَلَّى لِي كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَعَرَفْتُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ فِي الْكَفَّارَاتِ قَالَ وَمَا الْكَفَّارَاتُ؟ قُلْتُ نَقْلُ الْأَقْدَامِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَاتِ وَجُلُوسٌ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَواتِ وَإِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عِنْدَ الْكَرِيهَاتِ قَالَ وَمَا الدَّرَجَاتُ؟ قُلْتُ إِطْعَامُ الطَّعَامِ وَلِينُ الْكَلَامِ وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ قَالَ سَلْ قُلْتُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَأَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَتَرْحَمَنِي وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِتْنَةً فِي قَوْمٍ فَتَوَفَّنِي غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ وَأَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ وَحُبَّ عَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُنِي إِلَى حُبِّكَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا حَقٌّ فَادْرُسُوهَا وَتَعَلَّمُوهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever is wounded in the cause of Allah, on the Day of Resurrection, his color will be like saffron and his fragrance will be the fragrance of musk. On him will be the seal of the martyrs. And whoever sincerely asks Allah for martyrdom, Allah will grant him the reward of a martyr, even if he dies on his bed. And whoever fights in the cause of Allah, his provision shall be that of a camel, and Paradise will be made obligatory for him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَوْنُهُ لَوْنُ الزَّعْفَرَانِ وَرِيحُهُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ عَلَيْهِ طَابَعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَمَنْ سَأَلَ اللهَ الشَّهَادَةَ مُخْلِصًا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ أَجْرَ شَهِيدٍ وَإِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَمَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ  

[Machine] Two men argued in front of the Prophet (PBUH) and one of them became angry. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Indeed, I know a word that, if he were to say it, his anger would go away. I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed Satan."  

اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا ذَهَبَ غَضَبُهُ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ  

"A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about a man who meets a woman and there is no acquaintance between them. So there is nothing that a man who would do with his wife but he does it with her, except that he does not have intercourse with her?'" He said: "So Allah revealed: And perform the Salat, at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful (11:114). So he ordered him to perform Wudu and Salat." Then Mu'adh said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Is that specifically for him, or for the believers in general?' He said: 'Rather it is for the believers in general.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3113)   

أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ لَقِيَ امْرَأَةً لَا يَعْرِفُهَا فَلَيْسَ يَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا قَدْ أَتَاهُ مِنْهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُجَامِعْهَا؟ قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ} [هود 114] الْآيَةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ تَوَضَّأْ ثُمَّ صَلِّ قَالَ مُعَاذٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَهُ خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَامَّةً؟ قَالَ بَلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَامَّةً  

[Machine] "Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Whoever frees a believing slave, his ransom will be his release from the fire (of Hell)."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً فَهِيَ فِدَاؤُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No Muslim spends the night remembering Allah in a state of purity and then wakes up during the night and asks Allah for good, whether pertaining to this worldly life or the Hereafter, except that Allah grants it to him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَبِيتُ عَلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ طَاهِرًا فَيَتَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَسْأَلُ اللهَ خَيْرًا مِنْخَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Shall I not guide you to one of the gates of Paradise?" I said, "Indeed, please do." He said, "There is no power or strength except with Allah."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If anyone fights in Allah's path as long as the time between two milkings of a she-camel, Paradise will be assured for him. If anyone sincerely asks Allah for being killed and then dies or is killed, there will be a reward of a martyr for him. Ibn al-Musaffa added from here: If anyone is wounded in Allah's path, or suffers a misfortune, it will come on the Day of resurrection as copious as possible, its colour saffron, and its odour musk; and if anyone suffers from ulcers while in Allah's path, he will have on him the stamp of the martyrs. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2541)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ فَقَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَ اللهَ الْقَتْلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَفْسِهِ صَادِقًا ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ فَلَهُ أَجْرُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ نُكِبَ نَكْبَةً فَإِنَّهَا تَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَغْزَرِ مَا كَانَتْ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ كَأَغَرِ وَرَوْحٌ كَأَغْزَرِ وَحَجَّاجٌ كَأَعَزِّ مَا كَانَتْ لَوْنُهَا كَالزَّعْفَرَانِوَرِيحُهَا كَالْمِسْكِ وَمَنْ جُرِحَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَعَلَيْهِ طَابَعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to Arab villages and instructed me to take a third and a quarter of the land.  

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى قُرًى عَرَبِيَّةٍ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آخُذَ حَظَّ الْأَرْضِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ حَظُّ الْأَرْضِ الثُّلُثُ وَالرُّبُعُ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, when he sent him to Yemen: 'It is with me to exercise patience and tolerance, as the servants of Allah are not given to indulgence.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ إِيَّايَ وَالتَّنَعُّمَ؛ فَإِنَّ عِبَادَ اللهِ لَيْسُوا بِالْمُتَنَعِّمِينَ  

By Allah, I love you, Mu'adh. I give some instruction to you. Never leave to recite this supplication after every (prescribed) prayer: "O Allah, help me in remembering You, in giving You thanks, and worshipping You well." Mu'adh willed this supplication to the narrator al-Sunabihi and al-Sunabihi to 'Abu Abd al-Rahman. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1522)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَاذٌ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَأَنَا أُحِبُّكَ قَالَ أُوصِيكَ يَا مُعَاذُ لَا تَدَعَنَّ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ أَنْ تَقُولَ اللهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ قَالَ وَأَوْصَى بِذَلِكَ مُعَاذٌ الصُّنَابِحِيَّ وَأَوْصَى الصُّنَابِحِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَأَوْصَى أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ  

[Machine] "If 'Umar was among the people of paradise, then indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was truthful in what he saw in his wakefulness or sleep. He said, 'While I was in paradise, I saw a house, so I asked, "Whose house is this?" It was said to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab."  

إِنْ كَانَ عُمَرُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ مَا رَأَى فِي يَقَظَتِهِ أَوْ نَوْمِهِ فَهُوَ حَقٌّ وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ فِيهَا دَارًا فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذِهِ؟ فَقِيلَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The flourishing state of Jerusalem will be when Yathrib is in ruins, the ruined state of Yathrib will be when the great war comes, the outbreak of the great war will be at the conquest of Constantinople and the conquest of Constantinople when the Dajjal (Antichrist) comes forth. He (the Prophet) struck his thigh or his shoulder with his hand and said: This is as true as you are here or as you are sitting (meaning Mu'adh ibn Jabal). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4294)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُمْرَانُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ خَرَابُ يَثْرِبَ وَخَرَابُ يَثْرِبَ خُرُوجُ الْمَلْحَمَةِ وَخُرُوجُ الْمَلْحَمَةِ فَتْحُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ وَفَتْحُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ خُرُوجُ الدَّجَّالِ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِ الَّذِي حَدَّثَهُ أَوْ مَنْكِبِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَحَقٌّ كَمَا أَنَّكَ هَاهُنَا أَوْ كَمَا أَنَّكَ قَاعِدٌ يَعْنِي مُعَاذًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with the people before the Battle of Tabuk. When morning came, he led the people in the Fajr prayer. Then, the people mounted their rides, and when the sun came up, the people dozed off on their camels. Muadh, the companion of the Prophet ﷺ , stayed close behind him and followed his footsteps. The people dispersed on the road, resting and walking, while feeding and moving. While Muadh was following in the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , his camel stumbled and he held it back with the reins. As a result, the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ran away from him. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ uncovered his face and turned around, only to find a man from the army, who was closer to him than Muadh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said, "O Muadh!" He replied, "I am here, O Messenger of Allah!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him to draw closer. So, he approached until his camel touched the camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I did not think that the people were as close to me as their position requires." Muadh said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people fell asleep, and their rides scattered, grazing and moving." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I also dozed off." When Muadh saw the good news from the Prophet ﷺ and he was alone with him, he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, permit me to ask you about something that has caused me illness, weakness, and distress." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Ask me whatever you wish." Muadh said, "Please tell me a deed that will make me enter Paradise. I will not ask you about anything else." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have asked about something great. You have asked about something great. It is easy for the one whom Allah wants good for. It is easy for the one whom Allah wants good for. It is easy for the one whom Allah wants good for." He did not offer him any other suggestion without repeating it to him three times, especially since Muadh showed such keenness to learn it. Then, the Prophet ﷺ said, "You should believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish the prayer, worship Allah alone without associating partners with Him, perform the obligatory acts, and avoid the prohibitions until you die while adhering to them." Muadh said, "O Messenger of Allah, repeat it for me." The Prophet repeated it for him three times. Then, he said, "If you wish, I will inform you of the head, the pillar, and the pinnacle of this matter." Muadh said, "Yes, please, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The head of this matter is the testimony that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger. The pillar of this matter is establishing the prayer and paying the Zakah. And the pinnacle of this matter is Jihad in the cause of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ added, "I have been ordered to fight against people until they testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger, establish prayer, and pay Zakah. If they do so, their blood and wealth will be protected from me except for its due rights, and their reckoning is with Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ concluded by saying, "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one among the actions that lead to Paradise is as great as performing the obligatory prayer. And there is nothing heavier in the balance of a servant than truthfulness which he practices in striving in the cause of Allah, and there is nothing that will weigh more heavily in the balance of a servant than spending in the cause of Allah or carrying out an obligation in that regard."
