[Machine] Ali asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a man who plays with his spouse and experiences pre-ejaculation without sexual intercourse. If it were not for the fact that his daughter was present, I would have asked him. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man plays with his spouse and experiences pre-ejaculation without sexual intercourse. What should he do?" He replied, "He should wash his private parts and perform ablution for prayer."  

لِي عَلِيٌّ سَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُلَاعِبُ أَهْلَهُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْمَذْيُ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ فَلَوْلَا أَنَّ ابْنَتَهُ تَحْتِي لَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ يُلَاعِبُ أَهْلَهُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الْمَذْيُ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ؟ قَالَ يَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] I and two of my companions went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we became extremely hungry. We approached the people, but no one offered us any food. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took us to his house and there were four goats with him. He said to me, "O Miqdad, divide their milk equally between us." So I divided the milk equally between us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was once confined indoors for a whole night, and I kept thinking that perhaps the Prophet ﷺ had received food from some of the Ansar (the Helpers). He ate until he was full and drank until he was satisfied. If I had drunk his share, I would have kept doing so until he got up. But while I was still contemplating this, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and greeted us in such a way that the awake could hear, but not to wake the sleeper. Then he came to the container, uncovered it, but found nothing. He said, "O Allah, feed those who fed me, give drink to those who gave me to drink, and punish those who deprive me." I seized the knife, then came to the goats and began feeling them one by one. I would not pass my hand over a single udder without finding it swollen with milk. I milked them until the container was full, then brought it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Drink, O Messenger of Allah." He raised his head towards me and asked, "O Miqdad, what is the news?" I said, "Drink first, then I will tell you the news." He drank until he was satisfied, then he passed the container to me and said, "What is the news?" So I informed him. He said, "This is a blessing that has come down from the sky. Why did you not inform me so that we could feed our companions?" I replied, "If the blessing had struck me and you, then I do not care who missed out."  

قَدِمْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبَانِ لِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَصَابَنَا جُوعٌ شَدِيدٌ فَتَعَرَّضْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فَلَمْ يُضِفْنَا أَحَدٌ فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَعِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعُ أَعْنُزٍ فَقَالَ لِي يَا مِقْدَادُ جَزِّئْ أَلْبَانَهَا بَيْنَنَا أَرْبَاعًا فَكُنْتُ أُجَزِّئُهُ بَيْنَنَا أَرْبَاعًا فَاحْتَبَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَحَدَّثْتُ نَفْسِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَتَى بَعْضَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَكَلَ حَتَّى شَبِعَوَشَرِبَ حَتَّى رَوِيَ فَلَوْ شَرِبْتُ نَصِيبَهُ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى قُمْتُ إِلَى نَصِيبِهِ فَشَرِبْتُهُ ثُمَّ غَطَّيْتُ الْقَدَحَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ أَخَذَنِي مَا قَدُمَ وَمَا حَدُثَ فَقُلْتُ يَجِيءُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَائِعًا وَلَا يَجِدُ شَيْئًا فَتَسَجَّيْتُ وَجَعَلْتُ أُحَدِّثُ نَفْسِي فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ إِذْ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمَةً يُسْمِعُ الْيَقْظَانَ وَلَا يُوقِظُ النَّائِمَ ثُمَّ أَتَى الْقَدَحَ فَكَشَفَهُ فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ أَطْعِمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَنِي وَاسْقِ مَنْ سَقَانِي وَاغْتَنَمْتُ الدَّعْوَةَ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى الشَّفْرَةِ فَأَخَذْتُهَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ الْأَعْنُزَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَجَسُّهَا أَيُّهَا أَسْمَنُ فَلَا تَمُرُّ يَدَيَّ عَلَى ضَرْعِ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَّا وَجَدْتُهَا حَافِلًا فَحَلَبْتُ حَتَّى مَلَأْتُ الْقَدَحَ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ اشْرَبْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ سَوْآتِكَ يَا مِقْدَادُ مَا الْخَبَرُ؟ قُلْتُ اشْرَبْ ثُمَّ الْخَبَرَ فَشَرِبَ حَتَّى رَوِيَ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي فَشَرِبْتُ فَقَالَ مَا الْخَبَرُ؟ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ بَرَكَةٌ نَزَلَتْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَهَلَّا أَعْلَمْتَنِي حَتَّى نَسْقِيَ صَاحِبَيْنَا فَقُلْتُ إِذَا أَصَابَتْنِي وَإِيَّاكَ الْبَرَكَةُ فَمَا أُبَالِي مَنْ أَخْطَأَتْ  

[Machine] Blessed are the eyes that saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . By Allah, if only we had seen what you saw and witnessed what you witnessed! I became angry and said, "The best thing he ever said was... Then he turned to him and said, "What makes a man long for a presence that Allah has kept hidden from him? He does not know what it would be like if he witnessed it!" By Allah, there were people present in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whom Allah had favored, but they neither responded to him nor believed in him. Do you not praise Allah when He led you out of ignorance, and you had no knowledge of anyone except your Lord, affirming what your Prophet brought to you? You have been spared afflictions by the efforts of others. By Allah, Allah sent the Prophet ﷺ at the most difficult time, in which no prophet had been sent before, in an era of ignorance, when people did not consider any religion better than idol worship. He brought a criterion by which he distinguished between truth and falsehood, and separated a person from his parent or child, to the extent that a man might see his parent or child or brother as a disbeliever, even though Allah had opened his heart to accept faith and he knew that if he died, he would enter Hellfire. His eyes would not cry, knowing that his loved one would be in the Fire, which Allah has described as, "Those who say, 'Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes..." (Quran 25:74).  

طُوبَى لِهَاتَيْنِ الْعَيْنَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ رَأَتَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَاللهِ لَوَدِدْنَا أَنَّا رَأَيْنَا مَا رَأَيْتَ وَشَهِدْنَا مَا شَهِدْتَ فَاسْتُغْضِبَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَعْجَبُ مَا قَالَ إِلَّا خَيْرًا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا يَحْمِلُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَنْ يَتَمَنَّى مَحْضَرًا غَيَّبَهُ اللهُ عَنْهُ لَا يَدْرِي لَوْ شَهِدَهُ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَكُونُ فِيهِ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ حَضَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَقْوَامٌ كَبَّهُمُ اللهُ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ فِي جَهَنَّمَ لَمْ يُجِيبُوهُ وَلَمْ يُصَدِّقُوهُ أَوَلَا تَحْمَدُونَ اللهَ إِذْ أَخْرَجَكُمْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ إِلَّا رَبَّكُمْ مُصَدِّقِينَ لِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ نَبِيُّكُمْ قَدْ كُفِيتُمُ الْبَلَاءَ بِغَيْرِكُمْ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ بَعَثَ اللهُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَلَى أَشَدِّ حَالٍ بُعِثَ عَلَيْهَا فِيهِ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فِي فَتْرَةٍ وَجَاهِلِيَّةٍ مَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ دِينًا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ فَجَاءَ بِفُرْقَانٍ فَرَقَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَالْبَاطِلِ وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الْوَالِدِ وَوَلَدِهِ حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَرَى وَالِدَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ أَوْ أَخَاهُكَافِرًا وَقَدْ فَتَحَ اللهُ قُفْلَ قَلْبِهِ لِلْإِيمَانِ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ إِنْ هَلَكَ دَخَلَ النَّارَ فَلَا تَقَرُّ عَيْنُهُ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ حَبِيبَهُ فِي النَّارِ وَأَنَّهَا لَلَّتِي قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ} [الفرقان 74]  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man struck me with a sword and cut off my hand, then took refuge from me by a tree and said, 'There is no god but Allah. Should I kill him?" He replied, "No." I repeated this question two or three times, and he answered, "No, unless he is like him (i.e., the attacker) before he said what he said, and you would be like him before you did what you did."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا ضَرَبَنِي بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَطَعَ يَدِي ثُمَّ لَاذَ مِنِّي بِشَجَرَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَقْتُلُهُ؟ قَالَ لَا فَعُدْتُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ مِثْلَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا قَالَ وَيَكُونَ مِثْلَكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ مَا فَعَلْتَ  

I and two of my companions were so much afflicted by hunger that we had lost our power of seeing and hearing. We presented ourselves (as guests) to the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, but none amongst them would entertain us. So we came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and he took us to his residence and there were three goats. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: Milk these for us. So we milked them and every person amongst us drank his share and we set aside the share of Allah's Apostle ﷺ. (It was his habit) to come during the night and greet (the people present there) in a manner that would not wake up one in sleep but make one who was awake hear it. He would then go to the mosque and say prayer, then go to the milk and drink it. Miqdad added: One night the Satan came to me when I had taken my share, and he said: Muhammad has gone to the Ansar, who would offer him hospitality and he would get what is with them, and he has no need for this draught (of milk). So I took (that milk) and drank it, and when it had penetrated deeply in my stomach and I was certain that there was no way out (but to digest it), the Satan aroused (my sense of) remorse and said: Woe be to thee! what have you done? You have taken the drink reserved for Muhammad! When he would come and he would not find it, he would curse you, and you would be ruined, and thus there would go (waste) this world and the Hereafter (for) you. There was a sheet over me; as I placed (pulled) it upon my feet, my head was uncovered and as I placed it upon my head, my feet were uncovered, and I could not sleep, but my two companions had gone to sleep for they had not done what I had done. There came Allah's Apostle ﷺ, and he greeted as he used to greet (by saying as-Salamu 'Alaikum). He then came to the mosque and observed prayer and then came to his drink (milk) and uncovered it, but did not find anything in it. He raised his head towards the sky, and I said (to myself) that he (the Holy Prophet) was going to invoke curse upon me and I would be thus ruined; but he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah, feed him who fed me and give drink to him who provided me drink. I held tight the sheet upon myself (and when he had supplicated), I took hold of the knife and went to the goats (possessed by the Holy Prophet) so that I may slauhter one for Messenger of Allah ﷺ which was the fattest amongst them, and in fact all of them were milch goats; then I took hold of the vessel which belonged to the family of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in which they used to milk and drink therefrom, and milked them in that until it swelled up with foam. I came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: Have you taken your share of the milk during the night? I said: Drink it. and he drank it; he then handed over (the vessel) to me and I said: Messenger of Allah, drink it, and he drank it and handed over (the vessel) to me again, I then perceived that Allah's Apostle ﷺ had been satiated and I had got his blessings. I burst into laughter (so much) so that I fell upon the ground, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Miqdad, it must be one of your mischiefs. I said: Messenger of Allah, this affair of mind is like this and this. and I have done so. Thereupon. Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: This is nothing but a mercy from Allah. Why is it that you did not give me an opportunity so that we should have awakened our two friends and they would have got their share (of the milk)? I said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth. I do not mind whatever you give (to them), and whatever the (other) people happen to get, when I had got it along with you from among the people. (Using translation from Muslim 2055a)

"I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'On the Day of Judgement, the sun will be drawn near the servants, until it has come a mile or two (away).'" Sulaim bin 'Amir said: " I do not know if it is miles that refer to distance on the land, or Al-Mil which is used to apply Kuhl for the eyes." He (the Prophet ﷺ): "The sun will melt them, until they will be in sweat according to their deeds. Among them one will be covered up to his ankles, and among them will be one who is covered up to his knees, and among them will be one who is covered up to his waist, and among them will be one who is bridled with it.' I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ indicating with his hand toward his mouth, meaning that one would be bridled with it.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2421)   

حَدَّثَنِي الْمِقْدَادُ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أُدْنِيَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ حَتَّى تَكُونَ قِيدَ مِيلٍ أَوْ مِيلَيْنِ قَالَ فَتَصْهَرُهُمُ الشَّمْسُ فَيَكُونُونَ فِي الْعَرَقِ كَقَدْرِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَأْخُذُهُ إِلَى عَقِبَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَأْخُذُهُ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَأْخُذُهُ إِلَى حَقْوَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُلْجِمُهُ إِلْجَامًا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying: "There will not remain on the face of the earth a house made of mud or wood, except that Allah will enter it with the word of Islam, either by honor or humiliation. Allah will either honor them by making them among its people, or humiliate them by making them follow it."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَبْقَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ بَيْتُ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ كَلِمَةَ الْإِسْلَامِ بِعِزِّ عَزِيزٍ أَوْ ذُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ إِمَّا يُعِزُّهُمُ اللهُ فَيَجْعَلُهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا أَوْ يُذِلُّهُمْ فَيَدِينُونَ لَهَا  

[Machine] On the authority of Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad and Abu Umamah, they said: "Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, when a ruler seeks bribery among the people, he corrupts them.'"  

عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْأَمِيرَ إِذَا ابْتَغَى الرِّيبَةَ فِي النَّاسِ أَفْسَدَهُمْ  

[Machine] Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad said, "I do not judge a person as good or bad until I see what results from their actions, meaning after observing their behavior. Someone asked, "And what have you observed?" He replied, "I have heard the Prophet ﷺ saying that the heart of the son of Adam changes more swiftly than the boiling of a pot when anger is present."  

قَالَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ لَا أَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ خَيْرًا وَلَا شَرًّا حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَا يُخْتَمُ لَهُ يَعْنِي بَعَدَ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قِيلَ وَمَا سَمِعْتَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَقَلْبُ ابْنِ آدَمَ أَشَدُّ انْقِلَابًا مِنَ الْقِدْرِ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَتْ غَلْيًا  

That Al-Miqdad bin ʿAmr Al-Kindi, who was an ally of Bani Zuhra and one of those who fought the battle of Badr together with Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him that he said to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Suppose I met one of the infidels and we fought, and he struck one of my hands with his sword and cut it off and then took refuge in a tree and said, "I surrender to Allah (i.e. I have become a Muslim),' could I kill him, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, after he had said this?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You should not kill him." Al- Miqdad said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! But he had cut off one of my two hands, and then he had uttered those words?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "You should not kill him, for if you kill him, he would be in your position where you had been before killing him, and you would be in his position where he had been before uttering those words." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4019)  

أَخْبَرَهُأَنَّ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْكِنْدِيَّ وَكَانَ حَلِيفًا لِبَنِي زُهْرَةَ وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ فَاقْتَتَلْنَا فَضَرَبَ إِحْدَى يَدَيَّ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَطَعَهَا ثُمَّ لَاذَ مِنِّي بِشَجَرَةٍ فَقَالَ أَسْلَمْتُ لِلَّهِ أَأَقْتُلُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَالَهَا؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ قَطَعَ إِحْدَى يَدَيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا قَطَعَهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ وَإِنَّكَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ كَلِمَتَهُ الَّتِي قَالَ  

[Machine] When we arrived in Medina, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided us into groups of ten, with each group staying in a different house. I was part of the group in which the Prophet ﷺ stayed. He said, "We only had one sheep from which we obtained milk." He said, "Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to our house, we would drink and leave some for him. One night, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was taking a long time to come, we said, 'Maybe someone invited him.' I drank the milk and when he came later that night, he entered the house. When I drank the milk, I couldn't sleep. He said, 'When he entered, he said his Salaam and then did not tighten his belt. He looked at the container, and when he didn't see anything, he remained silent for a while and then said, 'O Allah, feed whoever fed us tonight.' Then I got up, took a knife, and went to the sheep. He asked, 'What are you doing?' I said, 'I am slaughtering it.' He said, 'No, bring it to me.' So I brought it to him, and he wiped its udder, and something came out. Then he drank and went to sleep."  

لَمَّا نَزَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ عَشَّرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً يَعْنِي فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ فِي الْعَشَرَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِيهِمْ قَالَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَنَا إِلَّا شَاةٌ نَتَجَزَّأُ لَبَنَهَا قَالَ فَكُنَّا إِذَا أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ شَرِبْنَا وَبَقَّيْنَا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَصِيبَهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْنَا قَالَوَنِمْنَا فَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ لَقَدْ أَطَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا أُرَاهُ يَجِيءُ اللَّيْلَةَ لَعَلَّ إِنْسَانًا دَعَاهُ قَالَ فَشَرِبْتُهُ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ جَاءَ فَدَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا شَرِبْتُهُ لَمْ أَنَمْ أَنَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ سَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَشُدَّ ثُمَّ مَالَ إِلَى الْقَدَحِ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا أَسْكَتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَطْعِمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ وَثَبْتُ وَأَخَذْتُ السِّكِّينَ وَقُمْتُ إِلَى الشَّاةِ قَالَ مَا لَكَ؟ قُلْتُ أَذْبَحُ قَالَ لَا ائْتِنِي بِالشَّاةِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَمَسَحَ ضَرْعَهَا فَخَرَجَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ شَرِبَ وَنَامَ  

[Machine] He asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a man who approaches his wife and experiences sexual discharge. He said, "If someone experiences that, let him wash his private parts and perform ablution for prayer."  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَدْنُو مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَيُمْذِي؟ قَالَ إِذَا وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ أَحَدٌ فَلْيَنْضَحْ فَرْجَهُ قَالَ يَعْنِي يَغْسِلُهُ وَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ  

I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying in front of a stick, a pillar, or a tree, without having it opposite his right or left eyebrow, and not facing it directly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 693)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى إِلَى عَمُودٍ وَلَا عُودٍ وَلَا شَجَرَةٍ إِلَّا جَعَلَهُ عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَالْأَيْسَرِ وَلَا يَصْمُدُ لَهُ صَمْدًا  

[Machine] "Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed towards a pillar, a wooden plank, or something similar, he would not fix his sight on it, rather he would place it on his left eyebrow."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى إِلَى عَمُودٍ أَوْ خَشَبَةٍ أَوْ شِبْهِ ذَلِكَ لَا يَجْعَلُهُ نُصْبَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَكِنَّهُ يَجْعَلُهُ عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ  

[Machine] I arrived in the city with my companion, and we encountered people who did not give us anything. So we went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned it to him. He took us to his house, and he had four female goats. He said, "Mikdad, milk them and divide them into four parts. Give each person their portion." So I did that, and one night I raised my portion to the Prophet ﷺ . He held it and hesitated, and I lay on my bed. My soul said to me, "The Prophet ﷺ has visited the family of the Ansar and if you get up and drink this drink, it will remain in me until I get up and drink my portion." So when it entered my stomach and settled, I said to myself, "The Prophet ﷺ is now coming hungry and thirsty, and he can't see anything in the jug." So I covered my face with a cloth and the Prophet ﷺ came and greeted in such a way that he could be heard by the awake and would not awaken the sleeping. He removed the cloth, but he didn't see anything. Then he raised his head to the sky and said, "O Allah, give drink to those who have given me drink and feed those who have fed me." I then seized the knife and approached the goats. I touched one of them to see which one was the fattest and it was full. I looked at the others and they were full as well. I looked at all of them and they were all full. So I milked them into a container and brought it to him. I said to him, "Drink." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Give some news, O Mikdad." So I said, "Drink some, then the news." He said, "Some of your comrades, O Mikdad." So he drank and said, "Drink." So I said, "Drink, O Prophet of Allah." He drank until his sides expanded. Then I took it and drank it, then I informed him of the news. The Prophet ﷺ said, "That's great." So I said, "This is what happened." He ﷺ said, "This is a blessing that has descended from the sky. Why did you not inform me so that I could give drink to your companions?" I said, "When I drank the blessing, I didn't care about whoever made a mistake."  

قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ أَنَا وَصَاحِبٌ لِي فَتَعَرَّضْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فَلَمْ يُضِفْنَا أَحَدٌ فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْنَا لَهُ فَذَهَبَ بِنَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَعِنْدَهُ أَرْبَعُ أَعْنُزٍ فَقَالَ احْتَلِبْهُنَّ يَا مِقْدَادُ وَجَزِّئْهُنَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ جُزْأَهُ فَكُنْتُ أَفْعَلُذَلِكَ فَرَفَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ جُزْأَهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَاحْتَبَسَ وَاضْطَجَعْتُ عَلَى فِرَاشِي فَقَالَتْ لِي نَفْسِي إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدْ أَتَى أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَوْ قُمْتَ فَشَرِبْتَ هَذِهِ الشَّرْبَةَ فَلَمْ تَزَلْ بِي حَتَّى قُمْتُ فَشَرِبْتُ جُزْأَهُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ فِي بَطْنِي وَتَقَارَّ أَخَذَنِي مَا قَدُمَ وَمَا حَدُثَ فَقُلْتُ يَجِيءُ الْآَنَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَائِعًا ظَمْآنًا وَلَا يَرَى فِي الْقَدَحِ شَيْئًا فَسَجَّيْتُ ثَوْبًا عَلَى وَجْهِي وَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمًا يُسْمِعُ الْيَقْظَانَ وَلَا يُوقِظُ النَّائِمَ فَكَشَفَ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ اسْقِ مَنْ سَقَانِي وَأَطْعِمْ مَنْ أَطْعَمَنِي فَاغْتَنَمْتُ دَعْوَتَهُ وَقُمْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ الشَّفْرَةَ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنَ الْأَعْنُزِ فَجَعَلْتُ أَجُسُّهُنَّ أَيُّهُنَّ أَسْمَنُ لِأَذْبَحَهَا فَوَقَعَتْ يَدِي عَلَى ضَرْعِ إِحْدَاهُنَّ فَإِذَا هِيَ حَافِلٌ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْأُخْرَى فَإِذَا هِيَ حَافِلٌ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى كُلَّهُنَّ فَإِذَا هُنَّ حُفَّلٌ فَحَلَبْتُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ اشْرَبْ فَقَالَ الْخَبَرَ يَا مِقْدَادُ فَقُلْتُ اشْرَبْ ثُمَّ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ سَوْآتِكَ يَا مِقْدَادُ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اشْرَبْ فَقُلْتُ اشْرَبْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ فَشَرِبَ حَتَّى تَضَلَّعَ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُ فَشَرِبْتُهُ ثُمَّ أَخْبَرْتُهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هِيهْ فَقُلْتُ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَذِهِ بَرَكَةٌ نَزَلَتْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَفَلَا أَخْبَرْتَنِي حَتَّى أَسْقِيَ صَاحِبَيْكَ فَقُلْتُ إِذَا شَرِبْتُ الْبَرَكَةَ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ فَلَا أُبَالِي مَنْ أَخْطَأَتْ  

What is the matter with you? And he said: Verily, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When you see those who shower (undue) praise (upon others), throw dust upon their faces. (Using translation from Muslim 3002b)   

جَعَلَ رَجُلُ يَمْدَحُ عَامِلًا لِعُثْمَانَ فَعَمَدَ الْمِقْدَادُ فَجَعَلَ يَحْثُو التُّرَابَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْمَدَّاحِينَ فَاحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ التُّرَابَ  

[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We have been commanded to sprinkle dust on the faces of the flatterers." Sufyan once stood up and Al-Miqdad said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Sprinkle dust on the faces of the flatterers.'" Az-Zubair said, "As for Al-Miqdad, he has fulfilled what was required of him."  

وَقَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَحْثُوَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمَدَّاحِينَ التُّرَابَ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً فَقَامَ الْمِقْدَادُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ احْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِ الْمَدَّاحِينَ التُّرَابَ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ أَمَّاالْمِقْدَادُ فَقَدْ قَضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] Ali said: "I am an impure man, and I am ashamed to ask him for the hand of his daughter. So he said to one of them, either Ammar or Al-Miqdad: 'Ata' named him for me, Aishah (his daughter), so I forgot him. Ask the Messenger of Allah, so I asked him.' He said: 'That is pre-seminal fluid, so he should wash that from it.' I said: 'What is to be done with it?' He said: 'He mentions Allah's name and performs ablution, performing a complete ablution like his ablution for prayer, then he sprinkles it in his private part or in his clothes.'"  

عَلِيٌّ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ مَذَّاءٌ وَإِنِّي أَسْتَحِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ابْنَتِهِ تَحْتِي فَقَالَ لِأَحَدِهِمَا لِعَمَّارٍ أَوْ لِلْمِقْدَادِ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ سَمَّاهُ لِي عَائِشٌ فَنَسِيتُهُ سَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ الْمَذْيُ لِيَغْسِلْ ذَاكَ مِنْهُ قُلْتُ مَا ذَاكَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ ذَكَرَهُ وَيَتَوَضَّأْ فَيُحْسِنْ وُضُوءَهُ أَوْ يَتَوَضَّأْ مِثْلَ وُضُوئِهِ لِلصَّلَاةِ وَيَنْضَحْ فِي فَرْجِهِ أَوْ فَرْجَهُ  

A man came and praised ‘Uthman in his face, al-Miqdad b. Al-Aswad took dust and threw it on his face, saying : The Apostle of Allah ﷺ said : When you see those who are given to praising people, throw dust in their faces. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4804)   

قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ الْمَدَّاحِينَ فَاحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ التُّرَابَ  

[Machine] A man came to Uthman and praised him on his face, so Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad started sprinkling dust on his face and saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us that when we meet those who flatter others, we should throw dust on their faces."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ يَحْثُو فِي وَجْهِهِ التُّرَابَ وَيَقُولُ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا لَقِينَا الْمَدَّاحِينَ أَنْ نَحْثُوَ فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ التُّرَابَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us that we should throw dust upon the faces of those who shower too much praise. (Using translation from Muslim 3002a)  

قَامَ رَجُلٌ يُثْنِي عَلَى أَمِيرٍ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ فَجَعَلَ الْمِقْدَادُ يَحْثِي فِي وَجْهِهِ التُّرَابَ وَقَالَ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَحْثِيَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْمَدَّاحِينَ التُّرَابَ  

Ali ibn AbuTalib commanded him to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what a man should do when he wants to have intercourse with his wife and the prostatic fluid comes out (at this moment). (He said): I am ashamed of consulting him because of the position of his daughter. Al-Miqdad said: I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. He said: When any of you finds, he should wash his private part, and perform ablution as he does for prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 207)  

أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا دَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ الْمَذْيُ مَاذَا عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَإِنَّ عِنْدِي ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ قَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَنْضَحْ فَرْجَهُ وَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] A man started praising Uthman, then he mentioned something similar to the meaning of Sufyan's narration.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَعَلَ يَمْدَحُ عُثْمَانَ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ  

If I encountered a person amongst the infidels (in the battlefield) and he attacked me and struck me and cut off one of my hands with the sword. Then he (in order to protect himself from me) took shelter of a tree and said: I become Muslim for Allah's sake. Messenger of Allah, can I kill him after he had uttered this? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not kill him. I (the narrator) said: Messenger of Allah, he cut off my hand and uttered this after amputating it; should I then kill him? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Don't kill him, for I you kill him, verily he would be in a position where you had been before killing him and verily you would be in a position where he had been before uttering (kalima). (Using translation from Muslim 95a)  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ فَقَاتَلَنِي فَاخْتَلَفْنَا ضَرْبَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَ إِحْدَى يَدَيَّ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَطَعَهَا ثُمَّ لَاذَ مِنِّي بِشَجَرَةٍ فَقَالَ أَسْلَمْتُ لِلَّهِ أُقَاتِلُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَالَهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ قَطَعَ إِحْدَى يَدَيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا قَطَعَهَا أُقَاتِلُهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ وَأَنْتَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ كَلِمَتَهُ الَّتِي قَالَ  

[Machine] He said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man and I have a dispute, and he mentions the hadith except that he said 'Should I kill him or leave him?'"  

قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ اخْتَلَفْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَقْتُلُهُ أَمْ أَدَعُهُ؟
