[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "When prayer and dinner time come together, start with dinner."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالْعَشَاءُ فَابْدَءُوا بِالْعَشَاءِ  

He who draws the sword against us is not of us. (Using translation from Muslim 99)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ سَلَّ عَلَيْنَا السَّيْفَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to frequent that place, which was between the pulpit and the qibla, as a passage for the sheep.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَاللهِ ﷺ يَتَحَرَّى ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَالْقِبْلَةِ مَمَرُّ شَاةٍ  

[Machine] I participated in seven battles with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He mentioned Al-Hudaybiyah, the Battle of Hunayn, the Battle of Al-Qard, and the Battle of Khaybar. Yazid said, "And I forgot the rest of them."  

غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعَ غَزَوَاتٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةَ وَيَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ وَيَوْمَ الْقَرَدِ وَيَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ قَالَ يَزِيدُ وَنَسِيتُ بَقِيَّتَهُنَّ  

[Machine] "I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, lend me your weapon.' He asked, 'Where is your weapon?' I replied, 'I gave it to my uncle Ammir.' He said, 'I cannot find anything similar to it except for the one who said, 'Give me a brother who I love more than myself.' So he gave me his bow, arrows, and three arrows from his quiver.'"  

فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَبْغِنِي سِلَاحَكَ قَالَ أَيْنَ سِلَاحُكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَعْطَيْتُهُ عَمِّيعَامِرًا قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ شَبَهَكَ إِلَّا الَّذِي قَالَ هَبْ لِي أَخًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي قَالَ فَأَعْطَانِي قَوْسَهُ وَمَجَانَّهُ وَثَلَاثَةَ أَسْهُمٍ مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ  

[Machine] "He sought permission from the Prophet ﷺ while they were in the desert, and the Prophet gave him permission."  

أَنَّهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي الْبَدْوِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ  

“We used to perform Friday (prayer) with the Prophet ﷺ, then we would return, and we would not see any shadow from the walls in which we could seek shade.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1100)   

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ وَمَا لِلْحِيطَانِ فَيْءٌ يُسْتَظَلُّ بِهِ  

" I said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I go hunting wearing nothing but a single shirt. Can I pray in it?' He said: 'Fasten it to yourself even with a thorn.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 765)   

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَكُونُ فِي الصَّيْدِ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا قَمِيصٌ أَفَأُصَلِّي فِيهِ؟ قَالَ زُرَّهُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَجِدْ إِلَّا شَوْكَةً  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ making a supplication at the beginning of his prayer except he would start it by saying, "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, the Bestower." Salama said, "I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ under the tree, then I passed by him after that while he was with a group of people. He said, 'Pledge allegiance, O Salama!' So I said, 'I have already done so.' He said, 'Pledge allegiance again.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْتَفْتِحُ دُعَاءً إِلَّا اسْتَفْتَحَهُ بِسُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى الْعَلِيِّ الْوَهَّابِ وَقَالَ سَلَمَةُ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيمَنْ بَايَعَهُ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ ثُمَّ مَرَرْتُ بِهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَمَعَهُ قَوْمٌ فَقَالَ بَايِعْ يَا سَلَمَةُ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ قَالَ وَأَيْضًا فَبَايَعْتُهُ الثَّانِيَةَ  

[Machine] I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then, I went to the shade of a tree. When people stopped going to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "O son of Al-Akwa, don't you pledge allegiance?" I said, "I have already pledged allegiance, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "And also say it again." So, I pledged allegiance to him a second time. Yazid was present, so I asked, "O Abu Muslim, what are you pledging allegiance for on that day?" He said, "For death."  

بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ عَدَلْتُ إِلَى ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ فَلَمَّا خَفَّ النَّاسُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ الْأَكْوَعِ أَلَا تُبَايِعُ؟ قُلْتُ قَدْ بَايَعْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ وَأَيْضًا قَالَ فَبَايَعْتُهُ الثَّانِيَةَ قَالَ يَزِيدُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تُبَايِعُونَ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ  

We used to pray the Maghrib prayer with the Prophet ﷺ when the sun disappeared from the horizon. (Using translation from Bukhārī 561)  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺإِذَا تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ  

[Machine] "He (meaning the Prophet Muhammad) descended with his companions, intending to perform Hajj. It was said to them, 'Salama bin Al-Akwa, a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , is here.' So, we went to him and greeted him. Then, we asked him, and he said, 'I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with this hand of mine, and he extended his hand, showing us a large palm.' So, we stood up and kissed both of his hands."  

أَنَّهُ نَزَلَ الرَّبَذَةَ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابٌ لَهُ يُرِيدُونَ الْحَجَّ قِيلَ لَهُمْ هَاهُنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَسَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ سَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ وَأَخْرَجَ لَنَا كَفَّهُ كَفًّا ضَخْمَةً قَالَ فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلْنَا كَفَّيْهِ جَمِيعًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ permitted the temporary marriage for a period of three days and then prohibited it.  

رَخَّصَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مُتْعَةِ النِّسَاءِ عَامَ أَوْطَاسٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ نَهَى عَنْهَا  

[Machine] "May Allah forbid, I am at the permission of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Spread out, O Muslims, and feel the winds, and dwell in the valleys.' They said, 'Indeed, O Messenger of Allah, we fear that this will harm us during our migration.' He said, 'You are migrants wherever you are.'"  

مَعَاذَ اللهِ إِنِّي فِي إِذْنٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ابْدُوا يَا أَسْلَمُ فَتَنَسَّمُوا الرِّيَاحَ وَاسْكُنُوا الشِّعَابَ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا نَخَافُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْ يَضُرَّنَا ذَلِكَ فِي هِجْرَتِنَا قَالَ أَنْتُمْ مُهَاجِرُونَحَيْثُ كُنْتُمْ  

[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'You are the people of the Bedouins and we are the people of your city.'"  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ بَدْوِنَا وَنَحْنُ أَهْلُ حَضَرِكُمْ  

[Machine] "She threw a glance at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was praying on the ground facing the Kaaba before the migration. Then I heard him saying, 'O Allah, forgive my sins, my mistakes, and my ignorance.'"  

أَنَّهَا رَمَقَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِالْأَبْطَحِ تُجَاهَ الْبَيْتِ قَبْلَ الْهِجْرَةِ قَالَ فَسَمِعَتْهُ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي خَطَئِي وَجَهْلِي  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ gave Bay'ah (pledge of allegiance) to us. She said, "We came to him one day, and he made a condition upon us not to shake hands with men. The old woman said, 'O Messenger of Allah, surely there were people who made me happy in times of difficulty, and they also faced difficult circumstances. I want to make them happy, but I couldn't do it for a while. Then this condition came to me, so I gave Bay'ah to him and said, 'This is the goodness which Allah has stated to you in Surah Al-Mumtahinah (60:12).' Hadith of Sa'ib bin Khallad, Abu Sahlah 16557/1. Sufyan bin 'Uyaynah narrated to us from 'Abdullah bin Abi Bakr who narrated from 'Abdul Malik bin Abi Bakr bin Al-Harith who narrated from Khallad bin As-Sa'ib bin Khallad who narrated from his father from the Prophet ﷺ that Gabriel came to me and said, 'Order your Companions to raise their voices with reciting the Takbir during the Supplication.' Sufyan said, 'Once Gabriel came to me and ordered me to command my Companions to raise their voices with reciting the Takbir during the Supplication.'"  

بَايَعْنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَتْ أَتَيْنَاهُ يَوْمًا فَأَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ لَا تَنُحْنَ قَالَتِ الْعَجُوزُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ نَاسًا قَدْ كَانُوا أَسْعَدُونِي عَلَى مُصِيبَةٍ أَصَابَتْنِي وَإِنَّهُمْ أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُسْعِدَهُمْ ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا أَتَتْهُ فَبَايَعَتْهُ وَقَالَتْ هُوَ الْمَعْرُوفُ الَّذِي قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلَا يَعْصِينَكَ فِي مَعْرُوفٍ} [الممتحنة 12]حَدِيثُ السَّائِبُ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ أَبُو سَهْلَةَ16557/1 حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ خَلَّادِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍعَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ مُرْ أَصْحَابَكَ فَلْيَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالْإِهْلَالِ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ ﷺ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آمُرَ أَصْحَابِي أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالْإِهْلَالِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever plants a tree or sows a seed from which birds or humans eat, it will be considered as a charity for him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ زَرَعَ زَرْعًا فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُالطَّيْرُ أَوِ الْعَافِيَةُ كَانَ لَهُ بِهِ صَدَقَةٌ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever causes fear to the people of Medina, Allah will cause fear to him. Upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. Allah will not accept any compensation or ransom from him on the Day of Judgment.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَخَافَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ أَخَافَهُ اللهُ ﷻ وَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: There is nothing (in the form of trouble) that comes to a believer even if it is the pricking of a thorn that there is decreed for him by Allah good or his sins are obliterated. (Using translation from Muslim 2572g)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ يُصِيبُ الْمُؤْمِنَ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةِ تُصِيبُهُ إِلَّا كَتَبَ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةً أَوَ حَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً  

A man led the people in prayer. He spat towards qiblah while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was looking at him. The Messenger of Allah said to the people when he finished his prayer: He should not lead you in prayer (henceforth). Thenceforth he intended to lead them in prayer, but they forbade him and informed him of the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said to him: Yes. The narrator said: I think he (the Prophet) said: You did harm to Allah and His Apostle. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 481)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَمَّ قَوْمًا فَبَسَقَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ فَرَغَ لَا يُصَلِّ لَكُمْ فَأَرَادَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ لَهُمْ فَمَنَعُوهُ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ آذَيْتَ اللهَ ﷻ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Whoever fears Medina, Allah will fear him. Upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. Allah will not accept anything from him, neither charity nor justice."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَخَافَ الْمَدِينَةَ أَخَافَهُ اللهُ ﷻ وَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا  

[Machine] The translation of the passage is: "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ used to place the palms of his hands on his face whenever he made supplication."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا دَعَا جَعَلَ بَاطِنَ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ  

[Machine] It is reported that when the Prophet ﷺ used to ask for something, he would raise the inside of his palms towards the person he was requesting from. And when seeking refuge or protection, he would raise the back of his hands in the same direction.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا سَأَلَ جَعَلَ بَاطِنَ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا اسْتَعَاذَ جَعَلَ ظَاهِرَهُمَا إِلَيْهِ  

[Machine] He informed him that the Prophet ﷺ said: Whoever fears the people of a city as a wrongdoer, Allah will make him fear Him, and upon him will be the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people. No justice or compensation will be accepted from him.  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَخَافَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ ظَالِمًا أَخَافَهُ اللهُ وَكَانَتْعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ عَدْلٌ وَلَا صَرْفٌ  

[Machine] Gabriel, ﷺ , came to the Prophet and said, "Be a doer of good and a sacrificer, and the doer of good is the one who helps others and the sacrificer is the one who sacrifices his own desires."  

أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كُنْ عَجَّاجًا ثَجَّاجًا وَالْعَجُّ التَّلْبِيَةُ وَالثَّجُّ نَحْرُ الْبُدْنِ  

Khalid ibn as-Sa'ib al-Ansari on his father's authority reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Gabriel came to me and commanded me to order my Companions to raise their voices in talbiyah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1814)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ أَنْ آمُرَ أَصْحَابِي أَوْ مَنْ مَعِي أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ أَوْ بِالْإِهْلَالِ يُرِيدُ أَحَدَهُمَا  

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Jibril came to me and said: Verily, Allah commands you to command your companions to raise their voices in Takbeer and Tahleel." He said: A spirit (angel) with Takbeer or Tahleel. I do not know whether it was me, Abdullah, or Khallad in Takbeer or Tahleel."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَأْمُرَ أَصْحَابَكَ أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ وَالْإِهْلَالِ وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ أَوْ بِالْإِهْلَالِ قَالَ وَلَا أَدْرِي أَيُّنَا وَهِلَ أَنَا أَوْ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَوْ خَلَّادٌ فِي الْإِهْلَالِ أَوِ التَّلْبِيَةِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Gabriel came to me and said, 'Command your companions to raise their voices with Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) at the beginning of the lunar crescent sighting.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَقَالَ مُرْ أَصْحَابَكَ فَلْيَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالْإِهْلَالِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the dawn prayer with us. When he raised his head from the last rakah, he said, "May Allah curse Liyan, Ri'l, and Dukhwān, and the disobedient one who disobeys Allah and His Messenger. May Allah keep her under His peace and forgiveness." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated. When he finished, he recited to the people and said, "O people, I did not say it, but Allah ﷻ said it."  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الْآخِرَةِ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللهُ لِحْيَانًا وَرِعْلًا وَذَكْوَانَ وَعُصَيَّةَ عَصَتِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللهُ وَغِفَارٌ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا ثُمَّ وَقَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَاجِدًا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَرَأَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي أَنَا لَسْتُ قُلْتُهُ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَالَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed a prostration in prayer, then he raised his head and said: "Ghifār is the one for whom Allah forgave, and Aslam is the one for whom Allah granted peace. And ʿUṣayyah is the one who disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. O Allah, curse the Banī Laḥyān. O Allah, curse Riʿlān and Dhakwān." Then he raised his voice and performed a bow and prostrated saying: "Khufāf." Thus, the curse of disbelief was established for that reason.  

رَكَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ غِفَارٌ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهَا وَأَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللهُ وَعُصَيَّةُ عَصَتِ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ بَنِي لَحْيَانَ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْ رِعْلًا وَذَكْوَانَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَوَقَعَ سَاجِدًا قَالَخُفَافٌ فَجُعِلَتْ لَعْنَةُ الْكَفَرَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Narrated to me about the sitting posture of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in prayer and at the end of it, how he would place his left thigh in the middle of the prayer and rest on his left leg, and how he would place his left hand on his left thigh and raise his right foot and place his right hand on his right thigh, while his index finger would be pointed upward, used for tawhid. Imran ibn Abi Anas, the brother of Banu 'Amir ibn Lu'ayy, who was a trustworthy person according to Abu al-Qasim Miqsam, the client of Abdullah ibn al-Harith ibn Nawfal, narrated to me. He said, "A man from the people of Madinah narrated to me, saying, 'I prayed in the mosque of the Banu Ghifar. When I sat in my prayer, I rested my left thigh and raised my index finger.' Khalaf ibn 'Imarah al-Ghifari saw me doing that, and he was a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. While I was doing that, he said to me, 'O my son, why do you raise your finger like this?' I said, 'I do not deny it; I have seen people doing it.' He said, 'Indeed, you are correct, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that. The polytheists used to say, "Muhammad practices sorcery with his finger." They lied. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that to declare the Oneness of his Lord, the Most High and Most Exalted.'"  

حَدَّثْنِي عَنْ افْتِرَاشِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخِذَهُ الْيُسْرَى فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ وَفِي آخِرِهَا وَقُعُودِهِ عَلَى وَرِكِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَوَضْعِهِ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَنَصْبِهِ قَدَمَهُ الْيُمْنَى وَوَضْعِهِ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَنَصْبِهِ أُصْبُعَهُ السَّبَّابَةَ يُوَحِّدُ بِهَا رَبَّهُ ﷻ عِمْرَانُ بْنُ أَبِي أَنَسٍ أَخُو بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ وَكَانَ ثِقَةً عَنْ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ مِقْسَمٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ فِي مَسْجِدِ بَنِي غِفَارٍ فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ فِي صَلَاتِي افْتَرَشْتُ فَخِذِي الْيُسْرَى وَنَصَبْتُ السَّبَّابَةَ قَالَ فَرَآنِي خُفَافُ بْنُ إِيمَاءِ بْنِ رَحَضَةَ الْغِفَارِيُّ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْتُ مِنْ صَلَاتِي قَالَ لِي أَيْ بُنَيَّ لِمَ نَصَبْتَ إِصْبَعَكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ وَمَا تُنْكِرُ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يَصْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ أَصَبْتَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ فَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يَصْنَعُ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ بِإِصْبَعِهِ يَسْحَرُ بِهَا وَكَذَبُوا إِنَّمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ يُوَحِّدُ بِهَا رَبَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I feel loneliness." He replied, "When you go to your bed, say, 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and punishment, and from the evil of His servants, and from the whispers of the devils, and from their presence.' Indeed, it will not harm you, and it is preferable that nobody comes near you."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَجِدُ وَحْشَةً قَالَ إِذَا أَخَذْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّةِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُضَرُّكَ وَبِالْحَرِيِّ أَنْ لَا يَقْرَبَكَ  

"I used to stay overnight at the Prophet's ﷺ apartment and I used to hear him when he prayed Qiyam at night saying: 'Subhan Allahi Rabil-Alamin (Glory be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds)' for a long time, then he said: 'Subhan Allah wa bi hamdih (Glory and praise be to Allah) for a long time." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1618)   

كُنْتُ أَنَامُ فِي حُجْرَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكُنْتُ أَسْمَعُهُ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يُصَلِّي يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الْهَوِيَّ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ الْهَوِيَّ  

“I used to spend the night at the door of the Prophet ﷺ, so that I may give him his water for Wudu', and I would hear him, for a long period of the night, saying: ‘Allah hears the one who praise Him (Samiʿ Allāhu liman ḥamidah).’ And I would hear him, for a long period saying: ‘All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the all that exists. (Al-ḥamdulillāhi rabbil-ʿālamīn).’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3416)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "Ask me, and I will give you." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, look at me, give me a look in my affair." He said, "Then look at your affair." I said, "Indeed, the matters of this world are cut off, so I do not see anything better than something I take for myself for my hereafter." So, I went to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, "What is your need?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, intercede for me with your Lord, and let Him emancipate me from the Fire." He said, "Who commanded you with this?" I said, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, no one commanded me with it, but I looked into my affair and saw that the world is temporary for its people. So, I loved to take something for my hereafter." He said, "Then help yourself by making abundant prostrations."  

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَلْنِي أُعْطِكَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنْظِرْنِي أَنْظُرْ فِي أَمْرِي قَالَ فَانْظُرْ فِي أَمْرِكَ قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَمْرَ الدُّنْيَا يَنْقَطِعُ فَلَا أَرَى شَيْئًا خَيْرًا مِنْ شَيْءٍ آخُذُهُ لِنَفْسِي لِآخِرَتِي فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اشْفَعْ لِي إِلَى رَبِّكَ ﷻ فَلْيُعْتِقْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَمَرَكَ بِهَذَا؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَكِنِّي نَظَرْتُ فِي أَمْرِي فَرَأَيْتُ أَنَّ الدُّنْيَا زَائِلَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ آخُذَ لِآخِرَتِي قَالَ فَأَعِنِّي عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ  

[Machine] I used to serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and fulfill his needs throughout the day until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the last evening prayer. I would then sit by his door when he entered his house and say, "Perhaps there is something that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ needs." I continued to hear him say, "Glory be to Allah, glory be to Allah, glory be to Allah, and praise be to Him," until he gave up and slept. One day, when he noticed my exhaustion and dedication to his service, he asked me, "Ya Rabee'ah, ask me for anything and I will give it to you." I replied, "Let me think about it, O Messenger of Allah, and then I will let you know." I contemplated within myself and realized that this worldly life is temporary and passing, and that I have sufficient sustenance in it that is provided by Allah. I said, "I ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to intercede for me with my Lord, so that I may be saved from the Hellfire." He asked, "Who encouraged you to ask for this, Ya Rabee'ah?" I replied, "By Allah, speaking the truth, no one told me to ask for it, except when you said, 'Ask me for anything and I will give it to you,' and I looked at my situation and realized that this worldly life is temporary and passing, and that I have sufficient sustenance in it that is provided by Allah. I said, 'I ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to intercede for me with my Lord, so that I may be saved from the Hellfire.'” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent for a long time, then said to me, "I will do it. Help me to help you by increasing your prostrations."

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Usfan, when the polytheists led by Khalid ibn Al-Walid faced us while they were between us and the qibla. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the noon prayer with us. They said, "They were in a situation where if we had attacked them, we would have taken them by surprise." Then they said, "Now a prayer comes upon them that is more beloved to them than their own sons and souls." Then Jibril ﷺ descended with these verses between the noon and afternoon prayers, "And when you are among them and lead them in prayer" [Quran 4:102]. He said, "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ attended to them and ordered them to take up arms." He said, "We formed two rows behind him." He said, "Then he made the prostration and we all prostrated. Then he raised his head and we all raised our heads. Then he prostrated, and those who were behind him guarded them. When they prostrated and stood up, the others sat down and prostrated in their place. Then these people advanced towards the ranks of those people, and those people advanced towards the ranks of these people." He said, "Then he made the prostration and they all prostrated. Then he raised his head and they all raised their heads. Then he prostrated, and the row behind him guarded them. When he sat down, the others sat down and prostrated. Then he greeted them and left." He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed it twice, once in Usfan and once in the land of Bani Sulaim."

"I heard Mujahid narrating from Abu Ayyash Az-Zuraqi"- Shu'bah said: "He had written it for me, and I read it before him, and I heard him narrating it; rather, I even memorized it." Ibn Bashshar said: "I memorized it from the book"- "The Prophet ﷺ was drawing up ranks facing the enemy in 'Usfan when the idolaters were led by Khalid bin Al-Walid. The Prophet ﷺ led them in praying Zuhr. The idolaters said: 'They have a prayer after this that is dearer to them than their wealth and sons.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in praying 'Asr. He divided them into two rows, behind him. He led them all in bowing, then when they raised their heads he led the row that was closest to him in prostrating, while the others remained standing. When they raised their heads from prostration, the second row prostrated, as they had already bowed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then the front row moved forward, so each of them took the place of his companion. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them all in bowing, then when they raised their heads from bowing, the row that was closest to him prostrated while the others remained standing, then when they had finished prostrating, the others prostrated, then the Prophet ﷺ said the taslim for all of them together.

شُعْبَةُ كَتَبَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ وَقَرَأْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ وَلَكِنِّي حَفِظْتُهُ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ فِي مَصَافِّ الْعَدُوِّ بِعُسْفَانَ وَعَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِنَّ لَهُمْ صَلَاةً بَعْدَ هَذِهِ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَبْنَائِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ قَالَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ فَصَفَّهُمْ صَفَّيْنِ خَلْفَهُ قَالَ فَرَكَعَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَمِيعًا فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَقَامَ الْآخَرُونَ فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ لِرُكُوعِهِمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرَ الصَّفُّ الْمُقَدَّمُ وَتَقَدَّمَ الصَّفُّ الْمُؤَخَّرُ فَقَامَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي مَقَامِ صَاحِبِهِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَمِيعًا فَلَمَّا رَفَعُوا رُءُوسَهُمْ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ سَجَدَ الصَّفُّ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَقَامَ الْآخَرُونَثُمَّ سَلَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَيْهِمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer of fear with the polytheists between them and the Qibla twice. Once in the land of Bani Sulaim and once in Usfan.  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّةً بِأَرْضِ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَمَرَّةً بِعُسْفَانَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If anyone says in the morning: "There is no god but Allah alone Who has no partner; to Him belong the dominions, to Him praise is due, and He is Omnipotent," he will have a reward equivalent to that for setting free a slave from among the descendants of Isma'il. He will have ten good deeds recorded for him, ten evil deeds deducted from him, he will be advanced ten degrees, and will be guarded from the Devil till the evening. If he says them in the evening, he will have a similar recompense till the morning. The version of Hammad says: A man saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a dream and said: Messenger of Allah! AbuAyyash is relating such and such on your authority. He said: AbuAyyash has spoken the truth. Abu Dawud said: Isma'il b. Ja'far, Musa al-Zim'i and 'Adb Allah b. Ja'far transmitted it from Suhail, from his father on the authority of Ibn 'A'ish. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5077)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ كَانَ لَهُ كَعَدْلِ رَقَبَةٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَوَكُتِبَ لَهُ بِهَا عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ وَحُطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا عَشْرُ سَيِّئَاتٍ وَرُفِعَتْ لَهُ بِهَا عَشْرُ دَرَجَاتٍ وَكَانَ فِي حِرْزٍ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَإِذَا أَمْسَى مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ قَالَ فَرَأَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا عَيَّاشٍ يَرْوِي عَنْكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ صَدَقَ أَبُو عَيَّاشٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived and left Sa'd, who was sick, when he went to Hunayn. When he returned from Jirrana as a mu'tamir, he visited him and found him in pain and defeated. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have wealth and I will inherit kinship. Should I leave all my wealth as inheritance, or should I give charity with it?" He said, "No." He asked, "Should I leave two-thirds of it as inheritance?" He said, "No." He asked, "Should I leave one-half of it as inheritance?" He said, "No." He asked, "Should I leave one-third of it as inheritance?" He said, "Yes, and even that is a lot." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I die in the house from which I migrated?" He said, "I hope that Allah will elevate you and make use of you by some people and benefit others through you, O 'Amr ibn al-Qari. If Sa'd dies after me, then bury him here, towards the direction of Madinah." And he gestured with his hand like this.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدِمَ فَخَلَّفَ سَعْدًا مَرِيضًا حَيْثُ خَرَجَ إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ مِنْ جِعِرَّانَةَ مُعْتَمِرًا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ وَجِعٌ مَغْلُوبٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي مَالًا وَإِنِّي أُورَثُ كَلَالَةً أَفَأُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ أَوْ أَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثَيْهِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَفَأُوصِي بِشَطْرِهِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ أَفَأُوصِي بِثُلُثِهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَذَاكَ كَثِيرٌ قَالَ أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمُوتُ بِالدَّارِ الَّتِي خَرَجْتُ مِنْهَا مُهَاجِرًا؟ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَرْفَعَكَ اللهُ فَيَنْكَأَ بِكَ أَقْوَامًا وَيَنْفَعَ بِكَ آخَرِينَ يَا عَمْرُو بْنَ الْقَارِيِّ إِنْ مَاتَ سَعْدٌ بَعْدِي فَهَا هُنَا فَادْفِنْهُ نَحْوَ طَرِيقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا  

[Machine] A person who witnessed the Prophet (Peace be upon him) informed me that he ordered the stoning of a man between Mecca and Medina. When the man was hit by the stones, he ran away. The information reached the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and he said, "Why didn't you let him go?"  

حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِ رَجُلٍ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا أَصَابَتْهُ الْحِجَارَةُ فَرَّ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ فَهَلَّا تَرَكْتُمُوهُ  

[Machine] I used to work in Daynabaz and treat people there. Then Yazid bin Umayyah was appointed as the governor of Yemen, and he came with men from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ . A man who had come with him approached me while I was irrigating the crops, and he had a walnut in his hand. He sat on a water channel, breaking the walnut and eating it. Then he pointed towards a bucket and said, "Persian man, come here." So I approached him, and the man said to me, "O Persian, can you plant this walnut seed in this water?" Finanjah replied, "What benefit will I get from that?" The man said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever plants a tree and takes care of it until it bears fruit, then every fruit that comes from it is a charity in the sight of Allah.' " So Finanjah asked him, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah?" The man replied, "Yes." Finanjah then said, "I will guarantee it." The man said, "From it will be the walnut of Daynabaz."  

كُنْتُ أَعْمَلُ فِي الدَّيْنَبَاذِ وَأُعَالِجُ فِيهِ فَقَدِمَ يَعْلَي بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى الْيَمَنِ وَجَاءَ مَعَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ قَدِمَ مَعَهُ وَأَنَا فِي الزَّرْعِ أَصْرِفُ الْمَاءَ فِيالزَّرْعِ وَمَعَهُ فِي كُمِّهِ جَوْزٌ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى سَاقِيَةٍ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَهُوَ يَكْسِرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْجَوْزِ وَيَأْكُلُهُ ثُمَّ أَشَارَ إِلَى فَنَّجَ فَقَالَ يَا فَارِسِيُّ هَلُمَّ قَالَ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِفَنَّجَ أَتَضْمَنُ لِي غَرْسَ هَذَا الْجَوْزِ عَلَى هَذَا الْمَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَنَّجُ مَا يَنْفَعُنِي ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ بِأُذُنَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ مَنْ نَصَبَ شَجَرَةً فَصَبَرَ عَلَى حِفْظِهَا وَالْقِيَامِ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى تُثْمِرَ كَانَ لَهُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُصَابُ مِنْ ثَمَرَتِهَا صَدَقَةٌ عِنْدَ اللهِ ﷻ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَنَّجُ آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَنَّجُ فَأَنَا أَضْمَنُهَا قَالَ فَمِنْهَا جَوْزُ الدَّيْنَبَاذِ  

[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ used to, when he arrived at a place from his house, climb up his lineage, which is 'Ubaidullah, faced the qibla, and supplicated. He said, 'A soul from his father' and Ibn Bakr reported it from his mother."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا جَاءَ مَكَانًا مِنْ دَارِ يَعْلَى نَسَبَهُ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَدَعَا وقَالَ رَوْحٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وقَالَ ابْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أُمْهِ  

The Prophet ﷺ addressed the people at Mina and he made them stay in their dwellings. He then said: The Muhajirun (Emigrants) should stay here, and he made a sign to the right side of the qiblah, and the Ansar (the Helpers) here, and he made a sign to the left side of the qiblah; the people should stay around them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1951)   

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ خَطَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ النَّاسَ بِمِنًى وَنَزَّلَهُمْ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَقَالَ لِيَنْزِلِ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ هَاهُنَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى مَيْمَنَةِ الْقِبْلَةِ وَالْأَنْصَارُ هَاهُنَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى مَيْسَرَةِ الْقِبْلَةِ ثُمَّ لِيَنْزِلِ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُمْ قَالَ وَعَلَّمَهُمْ مَنَاسِكَهُمْ فَفُتِّحَتْ أَسْمَاعُ أَهْلِ مِنًى حَتَّى سَمِعُوهُ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ارْمُوا الْجَمْرَةَ بِمِثْلِ حَصَى الْخَذْفِ  

[Machine] One of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon and mentioned the hadith."  

وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
