[Machine] We slaughtered a sheep for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , then he ordered us to treat something in its stomach, so he ate, then he stood up and prayed without performing ablution.  

ذَبَحْنَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَاةً فَأَمَرَنَا فَعَالَجْنَا لَهُ شَيْئًا مِنْ بَطْنِهَا فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade a man from praying while his head is shaven.  

نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْقُوصٌ  

[Machine] "Quraysh sent me to the Prophet ﷺ, and when I saw the Prophet ﷺ, Islam entered my heart. So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I will not return to them.' He said, 'I do not go back on my word, and I do not withhold what belongs to others. Go back to them, and if what is in your heart now remains, then stay.' Bukair cried and Al-Hasan told me that Abu Rafa’ was a Copt."  

بَعَثَتْنِي قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِي الْإِسْلَامُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ إِنِّي لَا أَخِيسُ بِالْعَهْدِ وَلَا أَحْبِسُالْبُرُدَ ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِكَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْآنَ فَارْجِعْ قَالَ بُكَيْرٌ وَأَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ كَانَ قِبْطِيًّا  

[Machine] From Abu Rafea, a servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who said: We went out with Ali when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him with his banner. When he approached the fortress, his family came out to him and fought him. A man from the Jews struck him and knocked his shield out of his hand. Ali then took a door that was near the fortress and defended himself with it. He continued to fight with it in his hand until Allah granted him victory. Then he threw it from his hand when he finished. I saw myself with a group of seven, and I was the eighth. We were all striving to turn that door, but we couldn't turn it.  

أَهْلِهِعَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ عَلِيٍّ حِينَ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرَايَتِهِ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنَ الْحِصْنِ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ أَهْلُهُ فَقَاتَلَهُمْ فَضَرَبَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ يَهُودَ فَطَرَحَ تُرْسَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَتَنَاوَلَ عَلِيٌّ بَابًا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْحِصْنِ فَتَرَّسَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِي يَدِهِ وَهُوَ يُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ حِينَ فَرَغَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي نَفَرٍ مَعِي سَبْعَةٌ أَنَا ثَامِنُهُمْ نَجْهَدُ عَلَى أَنْ نَقْلِبَ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ فَمَا نَقْلِبُهُ  

[Machine] A prayer rug was made for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so it was brought to him. He said to me, "O Abu Rafi', hand me the forearm." So, I handed it to him. Then he said, "O Abu Rafi', hand me the forearm." So, I handed it to him again. Then he said, "O Abu Rafi', hand me the forearm." So, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, does the sheep have any other forearm?" He said, "If you had remained silent, I would have kept taking forearms from it. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was fond of raising his forearms."  

صُنِعَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَاةٌ مَصْلِيَّةٌ فَأُتِيَبِهَا فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ لِلشَّاةِ إِلَّا ذِرَاعَانِ؟ فَقَالَ لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَنَاوَلْتَنِي مِنْهَا مَا دَعَوْتُ بِهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ الذِّرَاعُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed two salty, horned, male sheep. One of them was on behalf of the witnesses of the Tawheed (the oneness of Allah) and his message, and the other was on behalf of himself and his household. Thus, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fulfilled our needs.  

ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِمَوْجِيَّيْنِ خَصِيَّيْنِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَمَّنْ شَهِدَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَلَهُ بِالْبَلَاغِ وَالْآخَرُ عَنْهُ وَعَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ قَالَ فَكَاَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ كَفَانَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will inform you of the most accurate account of my hadith while one of you is sitting on his couch and says, 'I do not find this in the Book of Allah.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَأَعْرِفَنَّ مَا بَلَغَ أَحَدَكُمْ مِنْ حَدِيثِي شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَجِدُ هَذَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba) around his wives on a certain day. He then began to perform Wudu (ablution) at this and that place. It was said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, why don't you make it one single ablution?" He replied, "This is purer, more pleasant, and cleaner."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ طَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي يَوْمٍ فَجَعَلَ يَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ وَعِنْدَ هَذِهِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ جَعَلْتَهُ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا قَالَ هَذَا أَزْكَى وَأَطْيَبُ وَأَطْهَرُ  

[Machine] "So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about that, and he said, 'O Abu Rafi', charity is forbidden for Muhammad and the family of Muhammad. The leader of a people should provide for them from his own self.'"  

فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ حَرَامٌ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ مَوْلَى الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ  

[Machine] "Abu Rafi' was a loyal servant to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I was a young boy under the care of Abbas ibn Abdul Mutallib when Islam entered our lives. I embraced Islam, and so did Umm Al-Fadl. Abbas had already embraced Islam, but he was afraid of his people, so he kept his faith a secret. Abu Lahab, the enemy of Allah, had abstained from the battle of Badr, and his place was taken by Al-As ibn Hisham ibn Al-Mughirah. This was their practice - whenever a man was absent, they would appoint another man in his place. When the news reached us, Allah suppressed our grief and disappointment, and we found strength within ourselves. The Prophet ﷺ spoke about this matter, which is also mentioned in a book by Yakub al-Mursal, although it lacks a chain of narration. It is mentioned that Salim ibn Awf al-Sahmi was among the captives. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that in Makkah, there is a wise and wealthy merchant, whose son was taken captive; if you pay his ransom, it will be as if you have paid it for me and my companions. The Quraysh told them not to rush with the ransom, as Muhammad and his companions would not be able to fulfill it. Abu Wada'ah ibn Subairah Al-Sahmi said, "You have spoken the truth. Act accordingly." He then sneaked out of his captivity during the night, arrived in Madinah, and took his father's four thousand dirhams. He set out with the ransom and reached Mikraz ibn Hafs ibn Al-Akhyaf in order to pay the ransom for Suhaib ibn Amr. The one who had captivated him was Malik ibn Dud Khan, the brother of Banu Malik ibn Awf."  

أَبُو رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كُنْتُ غُلَامًا لِلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَكَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَدْ دَخَلَنَا فَأَسْلَمْتُ وَأَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ وَكَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ قَدْ أَسْلَمَ وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يَهَابُ قَوْمَهُ فَكَانَ يَكْتُمُ إِسْلَامَهُ وَكَانَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ عَدُوُّ اللهِ قَدْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ بَدْرٍ وَبَعَثَ مَكَانَهُ الْعَاصَ بْنَ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَكَذَلِكَ كَانُوا صَنَعُوا لَمْ يَتَخَلَّفْ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا بَعَثَ مَكَانَهُ رَجُلًا فَلَمَّا جَاءَنَا الْخَبَرُ كَبَتَهُ اللهُ وَأَخْزَاهُ وَوَجَدْنَا فِي أَنْفُسَنِا قُوَّةً فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَمِنْ هَذَا الْمَوْضُوعِ فِي كِتَابِ يَعْقُوبَ مُرْسَلٌ لَيْسَ فِيهِ إِسْنَادٌ وَقَالَ فِيهِ أَخُو بَنِي سَالِمِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ فِي الْأُسَارَى أَبُو وَدَاعَةَ بْنُ صُبَيْرَةَ السَّهْمِيُّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ لَهُ بِمَكَّةَ ابْنًا كَيِّسًا تَاجِرًا ذَا مَالٍ لَكَأَنَّكُمْبِهِ قَدْ جَاءَنِي فِي فِدَاءِ أَبِيهِ وَقَدْ قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لَا تَعْجَلُوا بِفِدَاءِ أُسَارَاكُمْ لَا يَتَأَرَّبُ عَلَيْكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ فَقَالَ الْمُطَّلِبُ بْنُ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ صَدَقْتُمْ فَافْعَلُوا وَانْسَلَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَخَذَ أَبَاهُ بِأَرْبَعَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ وَقَدِمَ مِكْرَزُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْأَخْيَفِ فِي فِدَاءِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ الَّذِي أَسَرَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ أَخُو بَنِي مَالِكِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abu Rafi', kill every dog in the city." Abu Rafi' replied, "I found some women from the Ansar in Sawrayn from Al-Baqi', and they have a dog. They said, 'O Abu Rafi', the Messenger of Allah devoted our men to fighting, and this dog is our only protection after Allah. By Allah, no one can come to us until a woman from among us stands guard between him and us. So, mention this to the Prophet and ask for his advice." Abu Rafi' mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ , and he said, "O Abu Rafi', kill it, for it is only Allah who prevents them."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ اقْتُلْ كُلَّ كَلْبٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ فَوَجَدْتُ نِسْوَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِالصَّوْرَيْنِ مِنَ الْبَقِيعِ لَهُنَّ كَلْبٌ فَقُلْنَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ أَغْزَى رِجَالَنَا وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ يَمْنَعُنَا بَعْدَ اللهِ وَاللهِ مَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنَا حَتَّى تَقُومَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَّا فَتَحُولَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ فَاذْكُرْهُ لِلنَّبِيّ فَذَكَرَهُ أَبُو رَافِعٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ اقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّمَايَمْنَعُهُنَّ اللهُ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , he said, "When the Mu'adhdhin calls for prayer, he should say what he says until he reaches the part where he says 'Hayya 'ala as-Salah' (Come to prayer). At this point, he should say, 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (There is no power or strength except with Allah)."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الْمُؤَذِّنَ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِقَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ  

[Machine] Narrated by Abu Rafi`, the slave of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that he saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and a shoulder of mutton was brought to him, so he ate it, then he stood up for the prayer without touching a drop of water.  

عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَأُتِيَ بِكَتِفِ شَاةٍ فَأَكَلَهَا ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَلَمْ يَمَسَّ قَطْرَةَ مَاءٍ  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Rafi', the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : I slaughtered a sheep for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He commanded me, so I cut from its belly and he ate from it. Then he stood up and prayed without performing ablution.  

عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ذَبَحْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَاةً فَأَمَرَنِي فَقَلَيْتُ لَهُ مِنْ بَطْنِهَا فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ  

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttering the call to prayer (Adhan) in the ear of al-Hasan ibn Ali when Fatimah gave birth to him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5105)  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَذَّنَ فِي أُذُنَيِ الْحَسَنِ حِينَ وَلَدَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ بِالصَّلَاةِ  

The Prophet went around to all of his wives in one night, and he had a bath after each one of them. It was said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, why not make it one bath?" He said: "This is purer, better and cleaner." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 590)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ طَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ جَمَعَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ وَاغْتَسَلَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ غُسْلًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا تَجْعَلُهُ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا أَزْكَى وَأَطْهَرُ وَأَطْيَبُ  

[Machine] Saad approached Abu Rafi' or Abu Rafi' approached Saad and Abu Rafi' said, "If I had not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The neighbor is more deserving of his neighbor's bucket until he himself gives it away.'"  

الشَّرِيدِأَنَّ سَعْدًا سَاوَمَ أَبَا رَافِعٍ أَوْ أَبُو رَافِعٍ سَاوَمَ سَعْدًا فَقَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ  

the Messenger of Allah sent a man from Banu Makhzun to collect charity, so he said to Abu Rafi: "Accompany me so that perhaps you may have some of it." So he said: "Not until I ask the Messenger of Allah." So he went to the Prophet to ask him, and he said: "Charity is not lawful for us, and to be the Mawda of a people to be the same as them." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 657)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي رَافِعٍ اصْحَبْنِي كَيْمَا تُصِيبَ مِنْهَا قَالَ لَا حَتَّى آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَسْأَلَهُ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ الصَّدَقَةُ لَا تَحِلُّ لَنَا وَإِنَّ مَوْلَى الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ  

[Machine] "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He saw a man praying with his head shaved, so he forbade him or said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a man from praying while his hair is shaved."  

وَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَى رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي وَقَدْ عَقَصَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَهَاهُ أَوْ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ عَاقِصٌ شَعْرَهُ  

[Machine] Abu Ja'far, oh Abu Sa'id, have you seen him?  

أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ؟  

[Machine] "About this"  

عَنْ هَذَا  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Let me not find one of you reclining on his couch when he hears something regarding me which I have commanded or forbidden and saying: We do not know. What we found in Allah's Book we have followed. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4605)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا أُلْفَيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ يَأتِيهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مِمَّا أَمَرْتُ بِهِ وَنَهَيْتُ عَنْهُ فَيَقُولُ لَا نَدْرِي وَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ اتَّبَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] Abu Rafa'i, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , told me that when Hassan ibn Ali the Elder was born, his mother Fatimah wanted to sacrifice two sheep. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not sacrifice on his behalf, but shave his head and give charity of the weight of his hair in gold to the cause of Allah." After that, Hussein was born and she did the same for him.  

أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو رَافِعٍ مَوْلىَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ حَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْأَكْبَرَ حِينَ وُلِدَ أَرَادَتْ أُمُّهُ فَاطِمَةُ أَنْ تَعُقَّ بِكَبْشَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَعُقِّي عَنْهُ وَلَكِنِ احْلِقِي شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّقِي بِوَزْنِ رَأْسِهِ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ وُلِدَ حُسَيْنٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَصَنَعَتْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

Sa'id ibn AbuSa'id al-Maqburi reported on the authority of his father that he saw AbuRafi' the freed slave of the Prophet ﷺ, passing by Hasan ibn Ali (Allah be pleased with them) when he was standing offering his prayer. He had tied the back knot of his hair. AbuRafi' untied it. Hasan turned to him with anger, AbuRafi' said to him: Concentrate on your prayer and do not be angry: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: This is the seat of the devil, referring to the back knot of the hair. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 646)   

أَنَّهُ رَأَى أَبَا رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي قَائِمًا وَقَدْ غَرَزَ ضَفِيرَتَهُ فِي قَفَاهُ فَحَلَّهَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ مُغْضَبًا فَقَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى صَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تَغْضَبْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ كِفْلُ الشَّيْطَانِ يَعْنِيمَغْرَزَ ضَفِيرَتِهِ
