[Machine] Narrated by Abu Ad-Darda, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah does not gather in the heart of a person dust in the way of Allah and the smoke of hellfire. And whoever dirties his feet in the way of Allah, Allah prohibits the rest of his body from the fire. And whoever fasts for a day in the way of Allah, Allah distances him from the fire a distance of a journey of a thousand years for the fast traveler. And whoever gets wounded in the way of Allah, he is sealed with the seal of the martyrs, and on the Day of Judgment, he will have a light, its color is like saffron and its fragrance is like musk, which the first and last people will recognize. They say, ‘This is so and so; his seal is that of the martyrs.’ And whoever fights in the way of Allah, his mount will be recorded as a mount that was killed, and Paradise is obligated for him."

عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ يَرْفَعُ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَجْمَعُ اللهُ فِي جَوْفِ رَجُلٍ غُبَارًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَدُخَانَ جَهَنَّمَ وَمَنِ اغْبَرَّتْ قَدَمَاهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَرَّمَ اللهُسَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ عَلَى النَّارِ وَمَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بَاعَدَ اللهُ عَنْهُ النَّارَ مَسِيرَةَ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ لِلرَّاكِبِ الْمُسْتَعْجِلِ وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جِرَاحَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَتَمَ لَهُ بِخَاتَمِ الشُّهَدَاءِ لَهُ نُورٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَوْنُهَا مِثْلُ لَوْنِ الزَّعْفَرَانِ وَرِيحُهَا مِثْلُ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ يَعْرِفُهُ بِهَا الْأَوَّلُونَ وَالْآخِرُونَ يَقُولُونَ فُلَانٌ عَلَيْهِ طَابَعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَمَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ

[Machine] I have seen some of us during our travels, and indeed one of us would put his hand on his head due to the intensity of the heat, and no one among the people was fasting except the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and Abdullah ibn Rawaha. And Abu 'Amir, Uthman ibn Hayyan, said this alone.  

أحمد:٢٧٥٠٤حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَيَّانَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِعَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِنَا وَإِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ وَمَا فِي الْقَوْمِ صَائِمٌ إِلَّا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ وَقَالَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ وَحْدَهُ  

ahmad:27505Wakīʿ > Sufyān > al-Aʿmash > Thābit or > Abū Thābit

[Machine] "O Allah, grant me companionship, relieve my loneliness, and bless me with a righteous and beloved companion. Abu Darda heard this and said, 'If you are sincere, then I am happy with what you have said. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Among them [the people] are those who wrong themselves' (35:32). The wrongdoer suffers from grief and sorrow in his place. And among them are those who are moderate' (35:32). They will have an easy reckoning. And among them are those who precede [others] in good deeds' (35:32). Those who enter Paradise without any reckoning."

اللهُمَّ آنِسْ وَحْشَتِي وَارْحَمْ غُرْبَتِي وَارْزُقْنِي جَلِيسًا حَبِيبًا صَالِحًا فَسَمِعَهُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا لَأَنَا أَسْعَدُ بِمَا قُلْتَ مِنْكَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ {فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ} [فاطر 32] قَالَ الظَّالِمُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ فِي مَقَامِهِ ذَلِكَ الْهَمُّ وَالْحَزَنُ {وَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ} [فاطر 32] قَالَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا {وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ} [فاطر 32] قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

[Machine] A man passed by him while he was planting a tree in Damascus, so he said to him, "Why are you doing this while you are the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "Do not rush me. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever plants a tree, it will not be eaten from by any human being or animal from the creation of Allah ﷻ except that it will be a charity for him.' Abdullah said, 'My father said, "Al-Ashja'i, meaning Sufyan, narrated from Al-A'mash, from Abu Ziyad."' I entered the mosque of Damascus."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "O Abu Dardaa, do not single out the night of Friday for optional prayers without also praying during other nights, and do not single out the day of Friday for fasting without also fasting on other days."  

أحمد:٢٧٥٠٧حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ لَا تَخْتَصَّ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِقِيَامٍ دُونَ اللَّيَالِي وَلَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِصِيَامٍ دُونَ الْأَيَّامِ  

ahmad:27508Abū Muʿāwiyah > al-Aʿmash > ʿAmr b. Murrah > Sālim b. Abū al-Jaʿd > Um al-Dardāʾ > Abū al-Dardāʾ

The Prophet ﷺ said: Shall I not inform you of something more excellent in degree than fasting, prayer and almsgiving (sadaqah)? The people replied: Yes, Prophet of Allah! He said: It is putting things right between people, spoiling them is the shaver (destructive). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4919)  

أحمد:٢٧٥٠٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ دَرَجَةِ الصَّلَاةِ وَالصِّيَامِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ إِصْلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ قَالَ وَفَسَادُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ  

ahmad:27509Abū Muʿāwiyah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever hears a statement from a person that he does not wish to be mentioned from him, then it is a trust, even if he does not conceal it."  

أحمد:٢٧٥٠٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْوَصَّافِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَمِعَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ حَدِيثًا لَا يَشْتَهِي أَنْ يُذْكَرَ عَنْهُ فَهُوَ أَمَانَةٌ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَكْتِمْهُ  

ahmad:27510ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Sufyān > al-Aʿmash > Dhakwān > a man > Abū al-Dardāʾ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said regarding the verse {For them there is good news in the worldly life and in the Hereafter} [Yunus: 64], he said: A righteous dream is seen by a Muslim or seen for him.  

أحمد:٢٧٥١٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {لَهُمُ الْبُشْرَى فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ} [يونس 64] قَالَ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْمُسْلِمُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ  

ahmad:27511ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Sufyān > ʿAṭāʾ b. al-Sāʾib > Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥman al-Sulamī

[Machine] There was among us a man whose mother insisted that he not get married until he did. So, he got married and then she ordered him to leave her and he traveled to Abu Darda in Sham. He said, "My mother did not cease (insisting) until I got married and then she ordered me to leave." He said, "What is it that I order you to leave and what is it that I order you to hold onto? I heard the Messenger of Allah say, 'The parent is the middle of the gates of Paradise, so keep to that gate or protect it.'" So, he returned to her after having left her.  

أحمد:٢٧٥١١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ

كَانَ فِينَا رَجُلٌ لَمْ تَزَلْ بِهِ أُمُّهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ حَتَّى تَزَوَّجَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَتْهُ أَنْ يُفَارِقَهَا فَرَحَلَ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ بِالشَّامِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّي لَمْ تَزَلْ بِي حَتَّى تَزَوَّجْتُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَتْنِي أَنْ أُفَارِقَ قَالَ مَا أَنَا بِالَّذِي آمُرُكَ أَنْ تُفَارِقَ وَمَا أَنَا بِالَّذِي آمُرُكَ أَنْ تُمْسِكَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْوَالِدُ أَوْسَطُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَأَضِعْ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ أَوْ احْفَظْهُ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ وَقَدْ فَارَقَهَا

[Machine] About Sinan, they would designate him and focus on him in the land, and he would wake up having killed the fox. Do you think it is his knack? I said I sat with Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, and there was an old man with white hair and beard from the people of Sham (Levant). So I asked him about that. He said to me, "Do you eat fox?" I said, "I have never eaten it, but some people from my tribe eat it." He said, "The eating of it is not permitted." The old man said, "O Abdullah, shall I narrate to you a hadeeth I heard from Abu Darda' narrating it from the Prophet ﷺ ?" I said, "Yes." He said, "I heard Abu Darda' say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade every thievery, loot, aggression, and every fanged beast." Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib said, "He speaks the truth"  

أحمد:٢٧٥١٢حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ السَّعْدِيِّ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي نَاسٌ مِنْ قَوْمِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ

[Machine] There was a man in Sham named Ma'dan. Abu Darda used to recite the Quran to him. Abu Darda lost him and one day he met him while he was riding a camel. Abu Darda said to him, "O Ma'dan, how is the Quran that used to be with you? How are you doing with it today?" He replied, "Allah knows best what happened to it and He has been generous." Abu Darda asked, "O Ma'dan, are you now living in a city or a village?" He replied, "No, I am living in a village near the city." Abu Darda said, "Wait a minute, may the curse of Allah be upon you, O Ma'dan. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'There are no five members of a tribe among whom the Adhan is not called nor the Salat established, except that the Shaytan has gained control over them. The wolf then attacks the lone sheep from among them.' You should reside in cities, O Ma'dan."

كَانَ رَجُلٌ بِالشَّامِ يُقَالُ لَهُ: مَعْدَانُ، كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يُقْرِئُهُ الْقُرْآنَ، فَفَقَدَهُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءَ، فَلَقِيَهُ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ بِدَابِقٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: يَا مَعْدَانُ مَا فَعَلَ الْقُرْآنُ الَّذِي كَانَ مَعَكَ؟ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَالْقُرْآنُ الْيَوْمَ؟ قَالَ: قَدْ عَلِمَ اللهُ مِنْهُ فَأَحْسَنَ، قَالَ: يَا مَعْدَانُ، أَفِي مَدِينَةٍ تَسْكُنُ الْيَوْمَ أَوْ فِي قَرْيَةٍ؟ قَالَ: لَا، بَلْ فِي قَرْيَةٍ قَرِيبَةٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، قَالَ: مَهْلًا، وَيْحَكَ يَا مَعْدَانُ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْ خَمْسَةِ أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ لَا يُؤَذَّنُ فِيهِمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ، وَتُقَامُ فِيهِمُ الصَّلَوَاتُ، إِلَّا اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ، وَإِنَّ الذِّئْبَ يَأْخُذُ الشَّاذَّةَ» فَعَلَيْكَ بِالْمَدَائِنِ، وَيْحَكَ يَا مَعْدَانُ

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If there are three men in a village or in the desert among whom prayer is not offered (in congregation), the devil has got the mastery over them. So observe (prayer) in congregation), for the wolf eats only the straggling animal. Sa'ib said: By the word Jama'ah he meant saying prayer in company or in congregation. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 547)

[Machine] Abu Darda has some free time, so he asks if he should go out or stay at home. If he is told to go out, he responds that he cannot find anything better for himself than what the Messenger of Allah has commanded us. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, the rich people go for Hajj and we are unable to go, they fight in battles and we are unable to fight." The Messenger of Allah then said, "Shall I not tell you about something that, if you do it, will be better for you than what any of them has done? It is to say 'Allahu Akbar' 33 times, 'Subhan Allah' 33 times, and 'Alhamdulillah' 33 times after every prayer."

[Machine] He arrived in Damascus and entered the mosque of Damascus and prayed two units of prayer in it and said, "O Allah, grant me a righteous companion." Then he came and sat with Abu Darda and Abu Darda said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am from the people of Kufa." Abu Darda said, "How did you hear Ibn Umm Abd reciting: 'By the night when it covers, and [by] the day when it appears?' He said, 'Alqamah and Zikr and An-Nisa.' Abu Darda said, 'I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' So they continued to question me until they doubted me. Then he said, 'Wasn't there among you the one who had the sleeping mat and the one who had the secret that no one else knew, and the one who was saved from the devil by the tongue of the Prophet ﷺ ?' The one with the sleeping mat was Ibn Mas'ud, and the one with the secret was Hudhaifah, and the one who was saved from the devil was 'Ammar.

[Machine] "I visited Abu Darda in his illness, at the time of his death. He asked me, 'O nephew, what brought you to this city? What is the reason?' I said, 'I came here for no reason, except to maintain the connection between you and my father, Abdullah bin Salam.' Abu Darda said, 'This is a terrible moment of falsehood! I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, "Whoever performs ablution and performs it well, then stands and prays two or four rak'ahs and doubts [whether they are two or four], it is easy for him to remember [Allah] and show humility [in the prayer]. Then he seeks forgiveness from Allah and Allah forgives him."'" Abdullah said, "Abu Darda narrated this to us, and he was narrated to by Sa'id bin Abu Rabee' Al-Samman, who was narrated to by Sadqah bin Abu Sahl Al-Hunawi. Abdullah and Ahmad bin Abdullah Al-Maliki were confused about the name of the sheikh, and Saalih bin Abu Sadqah said, 'Indeed, he is Sadqah bin Abu Sahl Al-Hunawi.'"

[By the night when it covers, and by the day when it appears, and by He who created the male and female.] So, I said, "He used to recite it as: 'By the night when it covers, and by the day when it appears, and by the male and female.'" He said, "That is how I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite it." He continued to question me until I began to doubt myself. Then, he said, "Isn't among you the one who uses the cushion and the tooth stick?" He meant Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. "Isn't among you the one whom Allah protected from the tongue of his Prophet from the Devil?" He meant Ammar ibn Yasar. "Isn't among you the one who knows the secret that no one else knows?" He meant Hudhayfah.
