[Machine] "And Al-Miswar said, 'He (the Prophet) said, 'Do not wash.' So they sent me to Abu Ayyub and I asked him. He poured water on his head and then used both hands and rubbed them on his head. Then he said, 'This is how I saw the Prophet ﷺ do it.''  

وَقَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ لَا يَغْسِلُ فَأَرْسَلُونِي إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ؟ فَصَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَأَدْبَرَ بِهِمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَعَلَ  

‘Abd Allah bin ‘Umar said The apostle of Allaah ﷺ combined the sunset and the night prayers at Al Muzdalifah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1926)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ  

A man said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Inform me of a deed which will make me enter Paradise." The people said, "What is the matter with him? What is the matter with him?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He has something to ask (what he needs greatly)." The Prophet ﷺ said (to him), (In order to enter Paradise) you should worship Allah and join none in worship with Him: You should offer prayers perfectly, give obligatory charity (Zakat), and keep good relations with your Kith and kin." He then said, "Leave it!" (The sub-narrator said, "It seems that the Prophet ﷺ was riding his she camel." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5983)  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ؟ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ مَا لَهُ مَا لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَبٌ مَا لَهُ؟ قَالَ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ ذَرْهَا قَالَ كَأَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ  

[Machine] "He used to pray four units before noon. It was said to him, 'Indeed, you persist in this prayer.' He said, 'Verily, I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing it, so I asked him and he said, 'Indeed, during this hour, the gates of heaven are opened, and I love for an righteous deed of mine to ascend in it.'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ تُدِيمُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا سَاعَةٌ تُفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَرْتَفِعَ لِي فِيهَا عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Ibrahim during his night journey and asked Gabriel, "Who is with you, O Gabriel?" He replied, "This is Muhammad." Ibrahim said to him, "Tell your Ummah (nation) to increase in planting the gardens of Paradise, for its soil is pure and its space is vast." Muhammad asked, "And what are the gardens of Paradise?" Ibrahim replied, "There is no power or might except with Allah."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ مَرَّ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ مَنْ مَعَكَ يَا جِبْرِيلُ؟ قَالَ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مُرْ أُمَّتَكَ فَلْيُكْثِرُوا مِنْ غِرَاسِ الْجَنَّةِ فَإِنَّ تُرْبَتَهَا طَيِّبَةٌ وَأَرْضَهَا وَاسِعَةٌ قَالَ وَمَا غِرَاسُ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined the two prayers with a congregation.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ بِجَمْعٍ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "Can any of you not recite one-third of the Quran in a single night? Verily, whoever recites Surah Al-Ikhlas (chapter 112) and Surah Al-Samad (chapter 112) in one night, he has recited one-third of the Quran that night."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَيُعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ اللهُ الصَّمَدُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَقَدْ قَرَأَ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ  

" Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out after the sun had set and he heard some sound and said: It is the Jews who are being tormented in their graves. (Using translation from Muslim 2869)   

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ وَجَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا فَقَالَ يَهُودُ تُعَذَّبُ فِي قُبُورِهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan and six days from the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted the entire year."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ وَسِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ فَقَدْ صَامَ الدَّهْرَ  

ʿIf one of you sneezes, let him say: Praise be to Allah in all situations. Let others say to him; May Allah have mercy on you. And let him say May Allah guide you and rectify your condition.” I said to him: Is it from Abu Ayyoob? He said: ʿAli ؓ . (Using translation from Aḥmad 995)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَلْيَقُلِ الَّذِي يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ وَلْيَقُلْ هُوَ يَهْدِيكَ اللهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكَ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ  

[Machine] From a sheikh from the people of Mecca from the Quraysh, from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, he said: A man found a louse on his garment, so he took it to throw it in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Do not do that, but throw it on your garment until you leave the mosque."  

عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ عَنْ أَبِي أيُوبِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ فِي ثَوْبِهِقَمْلَةً فَأَخَذَهَا لِيَطْرَحَهَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَفْعَلْ ارْدُدْهَا فِي ثَوْبِكَ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not face the Qibla with your private parts, and do not turn your back towards it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ بِفُرُوجِكُمْ وَلَا تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا  

[Machine] Abu Ayyub Al-Rum passed away due to illness. When he was brought, he said, "If I die, carry me and when you face the enemy, bury me under your feet. I will tell you a narration I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . If not for my current state, I wouldn't have shared it with you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.'"  

غَزَا أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الرُّومَ فَمَرِضَ فَلَمَّا حُضِرَ قَالَ إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَاحْمِلُونِي فَإِذَا صَافَفْتُمُ الْعَدُوَّ فَادْفِنُونِي تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِكُمْ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْلَا حَالِي هَذَا مَا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُبِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ  

“Whoever fasts Ramadan then follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if he fasted for a lifetime.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1716)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ فَذَاكَ صِيَامُ الدَّهْرِ  

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Yazid that Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari told him, that during the Farewell Pilgrimage. He prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers together at Al-Muzdalifah. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 605)   

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ  

[Machine] Rahat came to Ali in Al-Rahba and said, "Peace be upon you, O our master." Ali replied, "How can I be your master while you are Arabs?" They said, "We heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , on the day of Ghadeer Khumm saying, 'Whoever I am his master, this Ali is his master.'" Ali said, "Flattery." When they left, I followed them and asked, "Who are these people?" They said, "A group of the Ansar, including Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari."  

جَاءَ رَهْطٌ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ بالرَّحْبَةِ فَقَالُوا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مَوْلَانَا قَالَ كَيْفَ أَكُونُ مَوْلَاكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ قَوْمٌ عَرَبٌ؟ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ يَقُولُ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَوْلَاهُ قَالَ رِيَاحٌ فَلَمَّا مَضَوْا تَبِعْتُهُمْ فَسَأَلْتُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالُوا نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِيهِمْ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ  

[Machine] "I saw a group of Ansar people coming to Ali in the open field, and he asked, 'Who are these people?' They said, 'They are your followers, O Commander of the Faithful,' and he understood their meaning."  

رَأَيْتُ قَوْمًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَدِمُوا عَلَى عَلِيٍّ فِي الرَّحْبَةِ فَقَالَ مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ قَالُوا مَوَالِيكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray four units of prayer before Dhuhr (midday prayer). It was said to him, "Indeed, you pray a long prayer." He replied, "Indeed, the doors of the heavens are opened when the sun sets, so I do not want to delay until after Dhuhr prayer. I prefer to ascend to the heavens."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ أَرْبَعًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ تُصَلِّي صَلَاةً تُدِيمُهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ تُفْتَحُ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلَا تُرْتَجُ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى الظُّهْرُ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ لِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ خَيْرٌ  

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Yazid that Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari told him, that during the Farewell Pilgrimage. He prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers together at Al-Muzdalifah. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 605)  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ جَمِيعًا بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ  

[Machine] He heard Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari say, "We lined up on the day of Badr, and there was a rare occurrence among us in front of the row. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at them and said, 'Stay with me, stay with me.' And likewise, Ma'mar said, 'There was a respondent from us, and our row was lined up on the day of Badr.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ صَفَفْنَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَنَدَرَتْ مِنَّا نَادِرَةٌ أَمَامَ الصَّفِّ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ مَعِي مَعِي وَكَذَا قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ فَبَدَرَتْ مِنَّا بَادِرَةٌ وَقَالَ صَفَفْنَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ: Whoever says, "There is no deity except Allah alone, without partner. For Him is the kingdom, and for Him is the praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is over all things competent" ten times after the morning prayer, Allah will write for him ten good deeds, and will erase from him ten bad deeds, and raise him by ten levels, and give him the reward of freeing ten slaves, and he will be protected from Satan throughout the day until the evening. If he says it after the evening prayer, he will have the same reward.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ قَالَهَا عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ وَحَطَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ سَيِّئَاتٍ وَرَفَعَهُ اللهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ وَكُنَّ لَهُ كَعَشْرِ رِقَابٍ وَكُنَّ لَهُ مَسْلَحَةً مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَمَلًا يَقْهَرُهُنَّ فَإِنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُمْسِي فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "He heard Abu Ayoub saying, 'We lined up on the day of Badr, and a person charged ahead of our line. The Prophet ﷺ looked at them and said, 'Come with me, come with me.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ يَقُولُ صَفَفْنَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَبَدَرَتْ مِنَّا بَادِرَةٌ أَمَامَ الصَّفِّ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَعِي مَعِي  

[Machine] That the Prophet of Allah ﷺ stayed in our lower house, and I was in the room. So I poured water in the room, and Umm Ayyub and I followed the water with a bucket, fearing that it would reach the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while feeling ashamed, and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is not appropriate for us to be above you. Move to the room." So the Prophet ﷺ ordered for his belongings to be moved, and his belongings were few. Then I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you used to send me food, so I would look for the trace of your fingers and place my hand in it. But when I looked at this food that you sent to me, I did not see any trace of your fingers." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, it contains onions, so I dislike eating it because of the angel that comes to me. But as for you, eat it."  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ نَزَلَ فِي بَيْتِنَا الْأَسْفَلِ وَكُنْتُ فِي الْغُرْفَةِ فَأُهْرِيقَ مَاءٌ فِي الْغُرْفَةِ فَقُمْتُ أَنَا وَأُمُّ أَيُّوبَ بِقَطِيفَةٍ لَنَا نَتْبَعُ الْمَاءَ شَفَقَةَ أَنْ يَخْلُصَ الْمَاءُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَزَلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا مُشْفِقٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ نَكُونَ فَوْقَكَ انْتَقِلْ إِلَى الْغُرْفَةِ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِمَتَاعِهِ فَنُقِلَ وَمَتَاعُهُ قَلِيلٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنْتَ تُرْسِلُ إِلَيَّ بِالطَّعَامِ فَأَنْظُرُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِكَ وَضَعْتُ يَدِي فِيهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ هَذَا الطَّعَامُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ فَنَظَرْتُ فِيهِ فَلَمْ أَرَ فِيهِ أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَجَلْ إِنَّ فِيهِ بَصَلًا فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ آكُلَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَلَكِ الَّذِي يَأْتِينِي وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَكُلُوهُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever performs the ritual bath on the day of Friday and applies perfume if it is available to him, and wears his best clothes, then goes out until he reaches the mosque and prays if he is able to, without causing harm to anyone, then remains quiet when the Imam comes out until he completes the prayer, it will be an expiation for the sins committed between that Friday and the next." And in another narration, Abdullah bin Ka'b bin Malik As-Sulami reported that Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari, a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever performs the ritual bath on the day of Friday and embellishes himself and goes out with tranquility until he reaches the mosque."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَمَسَّ مِنْ طِيبٍ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ وَلَبِسَ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ ثِيَابِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيَرْكَعَ إِنْ بَدَا لَهُ وَلَمْ يُؤْذِ أَحَدًا ثُمَّ أَنْصَتَ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِمَامُهُ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ كَانَتْ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى وقَالَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ السُّلَمِيَّحَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَزَادَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ  

The Prophet ﷺ offered the Maghrib and ʿIsha' prayers together at Jam' (i.e. Al-Muzdalifa) with a separate Iqama for each of them and did not offer any optional prayer in between them or after each of them. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1673)  

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِجَمْعٍ  

[Machine] "From the Prophet, ﷺ , that he used to pray the Maghrib and Isha prayers with the congregation."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ بِإِقَامَةٍ  

[Machine] I saw Abu Ayyub taking off his shoes, so they looked at him. He said, "Indeed, I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wiping over them (the shoes), but I have developed a love for ablution."  

رَأَيْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ نَزَعَ خُفَّيْهِ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْسَحُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَلَكِنْ حُبِّبَ إِلَيَّ الْوُضُوءُ  

"Water is for Water." [1] [1] That is, water for peforming Ghusl is obligatory when the ejaculation of water (semen) occurs. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 199)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمَاءُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ  

[Machine] To abandon one's brother for more than three days results in a meeting where they both reject and push away each other, and the better of the two is the one who initiates peace.  

أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيَصُدُّ هَذَا وَيَصُدُّ هَذَا وَخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you goes to relieve himself, he should not face the Qibla (direction of prayer) nor turn his back towards it, but he should either face the east or the west." Abu Ayyub commented, "When we arrived in Sham (Greater Syria), we found the toilets were made toward the Qibla, so we would change our direction and seek forgiveness from Allah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا وَلَكِنْ لِيُشَرِّقْ أَوْ لِيُغَرِّبْ قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ وَجَدْنَا مَرَاحِيضَ جُعِلَتْ نَحْوَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَنَنْحَرِفُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ  

[Machine] And Ibn Abbas replied, "Yes, Ibn Abbas sent me to Abu Ayyub to recite to you greetings from your cousin, Abdullah ibn Abbas. And he asks you, 'How did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wash his head while in the state of ihram?' Abu Ayyub replied, 'I found him washing his head between the two horns of a well, which was covered by a piece of cloth. When I brought water for him, he gathered the cloth to his chest until his face was visible to me. And I saw him standing with water poured on his head.' Abu Ayyub demonstrated with his hands on his head, showing how the Prophet ﷺ washed his head. Ibn Abbas said, 'I will never order you to do it differently.' Al-Hajjaj added, 'And Warh.' And when I associated with him and asked him, he gathered the cloth to his chest until his head and face were visible to me, and someone was standing pouring water on his head.'  

وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بَلَى فَأَرْسَلَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ ابْنُ أَخِيكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ السَّلَامَ وَيَسْأَلُكَ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ مُحْرِمًا؟ قَالَ فَوَجَدَهُ يَغْتَسِلُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ بِئْرٍ قَدْ سُتِرَ عَلَيْهِ بِثَوْبٍ فَلَمَّا اسْتَبَنْتُ لَهُ ضَمَّ الثَّوْبَ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ حَتَّى بَدَا لِيوَجْهُهُ وَرَأَيْتُهُ وَإِنْسَانٌ قَائِمٌ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمَاءَ قَالَ فَأَشَارَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ جَمِيعًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ رَأْسِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ فَقَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لَا أُمَارِيكَ أَبَدًا قَالَ الْحَجَّاجُ وَرَوْحٌ فَلَمَّا انْتَسَبْتُ لَهُ وَسَأَلْتُهُ ضَمَّ الثَّوْبَ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ حَتَّى بَدَا لِي رَأْسُهُ وَوَجْهُهُ وَإِنْسَانٌ قَائِمٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not face the qibla (the direction of prayer) while defecating or urinating, but face east or west." Abu Ayyub added, "When we arrived in Sham (Syria), we found toilets facing the qibla, so we turned away and sought forgiveness from Allah."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ بِغَائِطٍ وَلَا بَوْلٍ وَلَكِنْ شَرِّقُوا أَوْ غَرِّبُوا قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَقَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ فَوَجَدْنَا مَرَاحِيضَ جُعِلَتْ نَحْوَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَنَنْحَرِفُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Offer the Maghrib prayer for breaking the fast and hasten to observe the rising of the stars."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلُّوا الْمَغْرِبَ لِفِطْرِ الصَّائِمِ وَبَادِرُوا طُلُوعَ النُّجُومِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are four of the traditions of the Messengers: using fragrance, marriage, using a miswak (toothstick), and modesty."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعٌ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ التَّعَطُّرُ وَالنِّكَاحُ وَالسِّوَاكُ وَالْحَيَاءُ  

[Machine] "Do people think that you have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing this? Haven't you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'My nation will always be upon goodness as long as they do not delay the Maghrib prayer until the stars appear.'"  

أَنْ يَظُنَّ النَّاسُ أَنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ هَذَا؟ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي بِخَيْرٍ أَوْ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ مَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْمَغْرِبَ إِلَى أَنْ تَشْتَبِكَ النُّجُومُ ؟  

He who uttered:" There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him, His is the Sovereignty and all praise is due to Him and He is Potent over everything" ten times, he is like one who emancipated four slaves from the progeny of Isma'il. Rabi' b. Khuthaim narrated a hadith like this. Sha'bi reported: I said to Rabi': From whom did you hear it? He said: From 'Amr b. Maimun. I came to 'Amr b. Maimun and said to him: From whom did you hear this hadith? He said: from Ibn Abi Laila. I came to Ibn Abi Laila and said to him: From whom did you hear this hadith? He said: From Abu Ayyub Ansari, who narrated from Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Muslim 2693)   

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ عَشْرَ مِرَّارٍ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ أَرْبَعَ رِقَابٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي السَّفَرِ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ رَبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِلَّربِيعِ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ فَقَالَ مِنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ فَقُلْتُ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ فَقَالَ مِنْ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ قَالَ مِنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ يُحَدِّثُهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "It is not permissible for a Muslim to abandon his brother for more than three days, to the extent that when they meet, one turns away from the other, and the best of them is the one who initiates peace."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيَصُدُّ هَذَا وَيَصُدُّ هَذَا وَخَيْرُهُمَا الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ  

[Machine] Marwan approached one day and found a man placing his face on a grave. He asked, "Do you know what you are doing?" He went towards him and found that he was Abu Ayyub. He said, "Yes, I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and did not visit the Stone. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Do not cry for the deceased regarding their religion when their family members are taking care of it, but cry when someone other than their family is taking care of it.'"  

أَقْبَلَ مَرْوَانُ يَوْمًا فَوَجَدَ رَجُلًا وَاضِعًا وَجْهَهُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَا تَصْنَعُ؟ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ آتِ الْحَجَرَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَبْكُوا عَلَى الدِّينِ إِذَا وَلِيَهُ أَهْلُهُ وَلَكِنْ ابْكُوا عَلَيْهِ إِذَا وَلِيَهُ غَيْرُ أَهْلِهِ  

A journey undertaken in the morning or evening (for Jihad) in the way of Allah is better than (anything) on which the sun rises or sets. (Using translation from Muslim 1883a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَدْوَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَغَرَبَتْ  

ʿIf one of you sneezes, let him say: Praise be to Allah in all situations. Let others say to him; May Allah have mercy on you. And let him say May Allah guide you and rectify your condition.” I said to him: Is it from Abu Ayyoob? He said: ʿAli ؓ . (Using translation from Aḥmad 995)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْفَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَلْيَقُلِ الَّذِي يُشَمِّتُهُ يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللهُ وَلْيَقُلِ الَّذِي يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ  

[Machine] From the Prophet, ﷺ , except that he said, "Let him say, 'May Allah guide you and bring rectification to your mind,' or he said, 'May Allah guide you all and bring rectification to your minds.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَلْيَقُلْ هُوَ يَهْدِيكَ اللهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكَ أَوْ قَالَ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the tormenting of animals. Abu Ayyub said, "If I had a chicken, I would not torment it."  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَبْرِ الدَّابَّةِ قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ لَوْ كَانَتْ لِي دَجَاجَةٌ مَا صَبَرْتُهَا  

[Machine] Ayoub said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbid the killing of patience.  

أَيُّوبَفَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الصَّبْرِ  

[Machine] He heard Aba Ayoub saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade patience with animals.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ يَقُولُ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَبْرِ الدَّابَّةِ  

[Machine] He was in a valley, and the ghoul used to come and take him. So, he complained about it to the Prophet ﷺ . The Prophet ﷺ said, "When you see her, say 'In the name of Allah, I seek the help of the Messenger of Allah.'" So she came, and he said to her, "I have taken you." She said to him, "I will not return." So he sent her away. Then she came again, and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "What did your captive do?" He said, "I took her, and she said to me, 'I will not return.'" So he sent her away. Then she came again, and the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "She will return." So he took her two or three times, and each time she said, "I will not return," and she would go to the Prophet ﷺ and he would ask him, "What did your captive do?" And he would say, "I took her," and she would say, "I will not return." And he would say, "She will return." So he took her again. Then she said to him, "Send me away and I will teach you something to say, and nothing will harm you. It is the verse of the Throne." So he came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him, and he said, "You have spoken the truth, even though she lies."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي سَهْوَةٍ لَهُ فَكَانَتِ الْغُولُ تَجِيءُ فَتَأْخُذُ فَشَكَاهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهَا فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ أَجِيبِي رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ فَقَالَ لَهَا فَأَخَذَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنِّي لَا أَعُودُ فَأَرْسَلَهَا فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا فَعَلَ أَسِيرُكَ؟ قَالَ أَخَذْتُهَا فَقَالَتْ لِي إِنِّي لَا أَعُودُ فَأَرْسَلْتُهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا عَائِدَةٌ فَأَخَذْتُهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا كُلَّ ذَلِكَ تَقُولُ لَا أَعُودُ وَيَجِيءُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَيَقُولُ مَا فَعَلَ أَسِيرُكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ أَخَذْتُهَا فَتَقُولُ لَا أَعُودُ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّهَا عَائِدَةٌ فَأَخَذَهَا فَقَالَتْ أَرْسِلْنِي وَأُعَلِّمُكَ شَيْئًا تَقُولُهُ فَلَا يَقْرَبُكَ شَيْءٌ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَتْ وَهِيَ كَذُوبٌ  

[Machine] Abu Ayyub Khalid ibn Zaid.  

أَبُو أَيُّوبَ خَالِدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ  

[Machine] "If I die, bury me in the land of the enemy under your feet, where you encounter the enemy," he said. "Then he said, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever dies without associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.'"  

إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَأَدْخِلُونِي أَرْضَ الْعَدُوِّ فَادْفِنُونِي تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِكُمْ حَيْثُ تَلْقَوْنَ الْعَدُوَّ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ  

“O Abu Ayyub, we have missed out on Jihad this year, and we were told that whoever prays in the four mosques will be forgiven his sins.” He said: “O son of my brother, shall I not tell you of something easier than that? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Whoever performs ablution as he has been commanded, and prays as he has been commanded, will be forgiven his previous (bad) deeds.’” He said: “(Did he not say it) like that, O ‘Uqbah?” He said: “Yes.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1396)  

عَاصِمٌ يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ فَاتَنَا الْغَزْوُ الْعَامَ وَقَدْ أُخْبِرْنَا أَنَّهُ مَنْ صَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَقَالَ حُجَيْنٌ الْمَسَاجِدِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ فَقَالَ ابْنَ أَخِي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَيْسَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ كَمَا أُمِرَ وَصَلَّى كَمَا أُمِرَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا قَدَّمَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ أَكَذَاكَ يَا عُقْبَةُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] From his grandfather, Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "Keep the sermon to yourself, then perform ablution and perfect your ablution, then perform what Allah has prescribed for you, then praise and glorify your Lord, then say: Allahumma innaka taqdiru wa la aqdiru wa ta'lamu wa la a'lamu, anta 'allam al-ghuyub. Fa in ra'ayta li fi fulanah, tusammiha bi ismiha khayran fi deeni wa dunyaya wa akhirati, wa in kana ghayruha khayran li minha fi deeni wa dunyaya wa akhirati faqdil li biha aw qaddirha li."

Translation: From his grandfather, Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "Keep the sermon to yourself, then perform ablution and perfect your ablution, then perform what Allah has prescribed for you, then praise and glorify your Lord, then say: O Allah, You have power and I have no power, You know and I do not know, You are the Knower of the unseen. So if You see good for me in so-and-so, by her name, in my religion, worldly life, and the hereafter, then decree it for me or else decree something better for me."  

عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ اكْتُمِ الْخِطْبَةَ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ وَصَلِّ مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَكَ ثُمَّ احْمَدْ رَبَّكَ وَمَجِّدْهُ ثُمَّ قُلْ اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُالْغُيُوبِ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ لِي فِي فُلَانَةَ تُسَمِّيهَا بِاسْمِهَا خَيْرًا فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَآخِرَتِي وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرُهَا خَيْرًا لِي مِنْهَا فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَآخِرَتِي فَاقْضِ لِي بِهَا أَوْ قَالَ فَاقْدِرْهَا لِي  

[Machine] He reported it, then mentioned it with its chain of narrators and its meaning.  

أَخْبَرَهُ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ
