[AI] The Prophet ﷺ came wearing a silk garment, and his companions were amazed by its softness. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "The handkerchiefs of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh in paradise are even softer than this."
أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِثَوْبٍ حَرِيرٍ فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ لِينِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلْيَنُ مِنْ هَذَا
[AI] The Prophet ﷺ participated in fifty-five battles.
غَزَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ غَزْوَةً
[AI] The Prophet ﷺ passed by us on the day of Khaybar while we were cooking pots. He asked, "What is this?" We replied, "Meat that we have cooked." He then asked, "Is it wild game or domesticated?" We replied, "It is domesticated." He said, "Season it."
مَرَّ بِنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ وَقَدْطَبَخْنَا الْقُدُورَ فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ؟ قُلْنَا حُمُرًا أَصَبْنَاهَا قَالَ وَحْشِيَّةٌ أَمْ أَهْلِيَّةٌ؟ قُلْنَا أَهْلِيَّةٌ قَالَ أَكْفِئُوهَا
[AI] The Prophet ﷺ was in Hudaybiyah and Hudaybiyah had a well. He said, "We were fourteen hundred [men]." He said, "Then, there was a shortage of water." He took a bucket, rinsed his mouth, and spat into it. Then, he poured the water back into the well and said, "Show us and quench our thirst."
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَالْحُدَيْبِيَةُ بِئْرٌ قَالَ وَنَحْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً قَالَ فَإِذَا فِي الْمَاءِ قِلَّةٌ قَالَ فَنَزَعَ دَلْوًا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ ثُمَّ مَجَّ وَدَعَا قَالَ فَرَوِينَا وَأَرْوَيْنَا
that whenever the Prophet ﷺ went to bed, he would put his right hand underneath his cheek and then say, "O Allah, save me from Your punishment on the Day when You resurrect Your slaves." or "gather Your slaves."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ وَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ۔» أَوْ «تَجْمَعُ عِبَادَكَ۔»
[AI] They were revealed: "Preserve the prayers, and especially the middle prayer" [2:238]. A man said to him: a person who is known as Zaher was accompanying him. This is the afternoon prayer. He said: I have already informed you about how it was revealed and how Allah abrogated it. And Allah knows best.
نَزَلَتْ حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَقَرَأْنَاهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ نَقْرَأَهَا لَمْ يَنْسَخْهَا اللهُ فَأَنْزَلَ {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى} [البقرة 238] فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ كَانَ مَعَ شَقِيقٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ زاهِرُ وَهِيَ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ قَالَ قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ كَيْفَ نَزَلَتْ وَكَيْفَ نَسَخَهَا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his hands when he started the prayer until his thumbs reached the level of his ears.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى تَكُونَ إِبْهَامَاهُ حِذَاءَ أُذُنَيْهِ
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "What should be given as charity from the sacrificial animals?" He replied, "Four types." And he said, "The barren (female) camel whose foreleg is shorter than the foreleg of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the clear-eyed goat with a clear spot on its ribs, the sheep with a clear spot on its private parts, the sick animal that clearly shows its illness, and the feeble animal that cannot be driven."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ مَاذَا يُتَّقَى مِنَ الضَّحَايَا؟ فَقَالَ أَرْبَعٌ وَقَالَ الْبَرَاءُ وَيَدِي أَقْصَرُ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَرْجَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ ظَلْعُهَا وَالْعَوْرَاءُ الْبَيِّنُ عَوَرُهَا وَالْمَرِيضَةُ الْبَيِّنُ مَرَضُهَا وَالْعَجْفَاءُ الَّتِي لَا تُنْقِي
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a group of the Ansar in their gatherings and said, "If you must do something, guide towards the right path, spread peace, and help the oppressed." Muhammad ibn Jafar narrated this from Shu'bah, and Abu Ishaq narrated from Al-Bara' but he did not hear it directly from Al-Bara'.
مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِأُنَاسٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا بُدَّ فَاعِلِينَ فَاهْدُوا السَّبِيلَ وَرُدُّوا السَّلَامَ وَأَعِينُوا الْمَظْلُومَ وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ مِنَ الْبَرَاءِ
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the "Kallalah". He replied, "The verse of the summer is sufficient for you."
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْكَلَالَةِفَقَالَ تَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ
[AI] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Oh Hassan, fight against the polytheists, for Gabriel is with you or the Holy Spirit is with you."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا حَسَّانُ اهْجُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ مَعَكَ أَوْ إِنَّ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ مَعَكَ
[AI] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, "Pray for me that Zaid may come or bring the shoulder and water-pot or the tablet and water-pot. Write, 'The sitters among the believers are not equal to the fighters in the cause of Allah.'" (Quran 4:95) He said, "This verse was revealed in this way." Ibn Umm Maktum was sitting behind him and he said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have a problem with my eyes." So the verse was revealed before he left, 'except for those disabled by injury.' (Quran 4:95)
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ادْعُوا لِي زَيْدًا يَجِيءُ أَوْ يَأْتِي بِالْكَتِفِ وَالدَّوَاةِ أَوِ اللَّوْحِ وَالدَّوَاةِ اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [النساء 95] {وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ} [النساء 95] قَالَ هَكَذَا نَزَلَتْ قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَهُوَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بِعَيْنَيَّ ضَرَرًا قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْرَحَ {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء 95]
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O so-and-so, whenever you go to your bed (for sleeping) say, 'O Allah! I have surrendered myself over to you and have turned my face towards You, and leave all my affairs to You and depend on You and put my trust in You expecting Your reward and fearing Your punishment. There is neither fleeing from You nor refuge but with You. I believe in the Book (Qur'an) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad) whom You have sent.' If you then die on that night, then you will die as a Muslim, and if you wake alive in the morning then you will receive the reward." (See Hadith No. 323, Vol. 8) (Using translation from Bukhārī 7488)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَقُلْ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مِتَّ مِنْ لَيْلَتِكَ مِتَّ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ وَإِنْ أَصْبَحْتَ أَصَبْتَ خَيْرًا
Reciting Surat At-Tin in the Isha prayer
[AI] I heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting in the Isha prayer Surat At-Tin wa al-Zaytun, and I never heard anyone with a more beautiful voice than his when he recited.
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْعِشَاءِ بِالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ، فَمَا سَمِعْتُ أَحَدًا أَحْسَنَ صَوْتًا مِنْهُ إِذَا قَرَأَ ﷺ.
Raising the hands at the start of prayer
[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began the prayer, he would raise his hands until his thumbs were level with his ears.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ، رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى تَكُونَ إِبْهَامَاهُ حِذَاءَ أُذُنَيْهِ.
The terms of the Hudaybiyah truce
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a truce with the polytheists on the day of Hudaybiyah on three terms: whoever came to them from the Prophet ﷺ, they would not send him back; and whoever came to us from them, they would send him back to them; and that the Prophet ﷺ and his companions would come the following year and enter Mecca to perform umrah, staying no more than three days, and bringing in nothing but carried weapons: the sword, the bow, and the like.
وَادَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ: مَنْ أَتَاهُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَمْ يَرُدُّوهُ، وَمَنْ أَتَى إِلَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَعَلَى أَنْ يَجِيءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، فَيَدْخُلُونَ مَكَّةَ مُعْتَمِرِينَ، فَلَا يُقِيمُونَ إِلَّا ثَلَاثًا، وَلَا يُدْخِلُونَ إِلَّا جَلَبَ السِّلَاحِ: السَّيْفِ وَالْقَوْسِ وَنَحْوِهِ.
The Prophet ﷺ carrying soil from the trench
[AI] I saw the Prophet ﷺ carrying soil from the trench until the dust covered the skin of his belly, and he was chanting the words of Abdullah ibn Rawaha [rajaz meter]: "O Allah, were it not for You, we would not have been guided, nor given charity, nor prayed. So send down tranquility upon us, and make our feet firm if we meet. Indeed, those people have transgressed against us, and if they want tribulation, we refuse."
رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَنْقُلُ مِنْ تُرَابِ الْخَنْدَقِ حَتَّى وَارَى التُّرَابُ جِلْدَ بَطْنِهِ، وَهُوَ يَرْتَجِزُ بِكَلِمَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ [البحر الرجز]: «اللهُمَّ لَوْلَا أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا، وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا، وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا، فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا، وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا، إِنَّ الْأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا، وَإِنْ أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا».
Do you admire the softness of this (cloth)? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd b. Mu'adh in Paradise are better than this. (Using translation from Muslim 2468a)
سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حُلَّةٌ حَرِيرٌ فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَمَسُّونَهَا وَيَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ لِينِهَا فَقَالَ تَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ لِينِ هَذِهِ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا أَوْ أَلْيَنُ
when the prophet (May peace be upon him) lay down on his bed (at night), he would say: O Allah! In Thy name I die and live. When he awoke, he said: praise be to Allah who has given us life after causing us to die and to whom we shall be resurrected. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5049)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِالَّذِي أَحْيَانَا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْمَعْنَى وَإِذَا نَامَ قَالَ اللهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَحْيَا وَبِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ
The Prophet’s son Ibrahim has a wet nurse in Paradise
[AI] Regarding his son Ibrahim: "He has a wet nurse in Paradise."
فِي ابْنِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: «إِنَّ لَهُ مُرْضِعًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ».
We went out on a journey along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He led us in the night prayer and he recited in one of the rak'ahs: "By the fig and the olive." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1221)
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ فَقَرَأَ بِإِحْدَى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بِالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ
Jibril's support for Hassan ibn Thabit
[AI] that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Hassan ibn Thabit, "Attack them, or satirize them, and Jibril is with you." Bahz said: Satirize them and attack them, or he said: Satirize them or attack them.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ: «هَاجِهِمْ أَوْ اهْجُهُمْ، وَجِبْرِيلُ مَعَكَ». قَالَ بَهْزٌ: اهْجُهُمْ وَهَاجِهِمْ، أَوْ قَالَ: اهْجُهُمْ أَوْ هَاجِهِمْ.
The Prophet ﷺ said to Hassan, "Lampoon them (i.e. the pagans) and Gabriel is with you." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3213)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِحَسَّانَ اهْجُهُمْ أَوْ هَاجِهِمْ وَجِبْرِيلُ مَعَكَ
Offer a substitute for it (since it does not absolve you of the responsibility of sacrifice). Thereupon he said: Messenger of Allah. I have nothing with me but a goat of less than six months. Shu'ba (one of the narrators) said: I think he (al-Bara' b. 'Azib also) said: And it is better than a goat of one year. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Make it a substitute for that (and sacrifice it), but it will not suffice for anyone (as a sacrifice) after you. (Using translation from Muslim 1961i)
لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْدِلْهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي إِلَّا جَذَعَةٌ وَأَظُنُّهُ قَدْ قَالَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اجْعَلْهَا مَكَانَهَا وَلَنْ تُجْزِئَ أَوْ تُوَفِّيَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ
Raising the hands at the opening of prayer
[AI] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raise his hands when he began the prayer.
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ.
The first (act) with which we started our day (the day of 'Id-ul Adha) was that we offered prayer. We then returned and sacrificed the animals and he who did that in fact adhered to our Sunnah (practice). And he who slaughtered the (animal on that day before the 'Id prayer), for him (the slaughtering of animal was directed to the acquiring of) meat for his family, and there is nothing of the sort of sacrifice in it. It was Abu Burda b. Niyar who had slaughtered (the animal before the 'Id prayer). He said: I have a small lamb, of less than one year, but better than that of more than a year. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ qaid: Sacrifice it, but it will not suffice (as a sacrifice) for anyone after you. (Using translation from Muslim 1961e)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا نَبْدَأُ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا نُصَلِّي ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ فَنَنْحَرُ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ سُنَّتَنَا وَمَنْ ذَبَحَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لَحْمٌ قَدَّمَهُ لِأَهْلِهِ لَيْسَ مِنَ النُّسُكِ فِي شَيْءٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ نِيَارٍ قَدْ ذَبَحَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي جَذَعَةً خَيْرٌ مِنْ مُسِنَّةٍ فَقَالَ اذْبَحْهَا وَلَنْ تُجْزِئَ عَنْ أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ
Glad tidings of conquest during the digging of the trench
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to dig the trench. He said: A rock appeared before us in a part of the trench where the pickaxes could not make any effect on it. He said: They complained about it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came. Awf said—and I think he said that he laid down his garment—then he descended to the rock, took the pickaxe, and said, "In the name of Allah." Then he struck it once and broke a third of the stone, and said, "Allah is the Greatest. I have been given the keys of Syria, and by Allah, I can indeed see its red palaces from where I am now." Then he said, "In the name of Allah," and struck it again, breaking a third of the stone. Then he said, "Allah is the Greatest. I have been given the keys of Persia, and by Allah, I can indeed see al-Madain, and I can see its white palace from where I am now." Then he said, "In the name of Allah," and struck it again, uprooting the rest of the stone. Then he said, "Allah is the Greatest. I have been given the keys of Yemen, and by Allah, I can indeed see the gates of Sana'a from where I am now."
أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِحَفْرِ الْخَنْدَقِ. قَالَ: وَعَرَضَ لَنَا صَخْرَةٌ فِي مَكَانٍ مِنَ الْخَنْدَقِ، لَا تَأْخُذُ فِيهَا الْمَعَاوِلُ. قَالَ: فَشَكَوْهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ. قَالَ عَوْفٌ: وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ: وَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ، ثُمَّ هَبَطَ إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ، فَأَخَذَ الْمِعْوَلَ، فَقَالَ: «بِسْمِ اللهِ»، فَضَرَبَ ضَرْبَةً، فَكَسَرَ ثُلُثَ الْحَجَرِ، وَقَالَ: «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ الشَّامِ، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ قُصُورَهَا الْحُمْرَ مِنْ مَكَانِي هَذَا». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «بِسْمِ اللهِ»، وَضَرَبَ أُخْرَى، فَكَسَرَ ثُلُثَ الْحَجَرِ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ فَارِسَ، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ الْمَدَائِنَ، وَأُبْصِرُ قَصْرَهَا الْأَبْيَضَ مِنْ مَكَانِي هَذَا». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «بِسْمِ اللهِ»، وَضَرَبَ ضَرْبَةً أُخْرَى، فَقَلَعَ بَقِيَّةَ الْحَجَرِ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ الْيَمَنِ، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ أَبْوَابَ صَنْعَاءَ مِنْ مَكَانِي هَذَا».
Al-Bara ibn Azib's report
[AI] Then he mentioned it.
فَذَكَرَهُ.
Supplication before sleep
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to place his right hand under his cheek when going to sleep, and he would say: "O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day You resurrect Your servants."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ خَدِّهِ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ، وَيَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ».
Jibril supports Hassan ibn Thabit against the polytheists
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Hassan ibn Thabit, "Lampoon the polytheists, for Jibril is with you."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ: «اهْجُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ مَعَكَ».
Reciting At-Tin wa az-Zaytun in Isha
[AI] That he prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Isha prayer. Ibn Numayr said: "the later one." Then he recited in it Surat At-Tin wa az-Zaytun.
أَنَّهُ صَلَّى وَرَاءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْعِشَاءَ، قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ: الْآخِرَةَ، فَقَرَأَ فِيهَا بِالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ.
The Prophet ﷺ said: Two Muslims will not meet and shake hands having their sins forgiven them before they separate. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5212)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيَتَصَافَحَانِ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُمَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَفَرَّقَا
The Prophet’s appearance in a red garment
[AI] I never saw any man more handsome than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a red garment.
مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ.
How the Prophet ﷺ prostrated
[AI] He spread his palms, raised his hips, and kept his arms away from his sides, and said, "This is how the Prophet ﷺ prostrated."
فَبَسَطَ كَفَّيْهِ، وَرَفَعَ عَجِيزَتَهُ، وَخَوَّى، وَقَالَ: هَكَذَا سَجَدَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ
Raising the hands at the opening takbir
[AI] The Prophet ﷺ, when he said the takbir, would raise his hands until we could see his thumbs close to his ears.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا كَبَّرَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى نَرَى إِبْهَامَيْهِ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ.
Prayer in camel pens and sheepfolds, and ablution after camel and sheep meat
[AI] that the Prophet ﷺ was asked, "Should we pray in camel pens?" He said, "No." It was said, "Should we pray in sheepfolds?" He said, "Yes." It was said, "Should we perform ablution after eating camel meat?" He said, "Yes." It was said, "Should we perform ablution after eating sheep meat?" He said, "No." Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Abdullah ibn Abdullah was from Rayy, and he was the judge of Rayy, and his grandmother was a freedwoman of Ali, or a slave girl. Abdullah said: My father said, and Adam and Said ibn Masruq narrated it from him, and he was trustworthy.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سُئِلَ: أَنُصَلِّي فِي أَعْطَانِ الْإِبِلِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا». قَالَ: أَنُصَلِّي فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ». قَالَ: أَفَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ». قَالَ: أَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَنَمِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا». قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَازِيُّ، وَكَانَ قَاضِيَ الرَّيِّ، وَكَانَتْ جَدَّتُهُ مَوْلَاةً لِعَلِيٍّ أَوْ جَارِيَةً، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: قَالَ أَبِي، وَرَوَاهُ عَنْهُ آدَمُ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ مَسْرُوقٍ، وَكَانَ ثِقَةً.
The virtue of helping others, straightening rows, and beautifying the Quran
[AI] "Whoever gives a loan of silver, or guides through an alley, or gives milk to drink, will have the equivalent of freeing a slave or a person. And whoever says, 'There is no god but Allah ﷻ alone, with no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things capable,' ten times, will have the equivalent of freeing a slave or a person." And he used to come to us when we stood for prayer, and he would wipe our chests or our shoulders, saying: "Do not let your rows differ, lest your hearts differ." And he used to say: "Indeed Allah ﷻ and His angels send blessings upon the first row, or the first rows." And he said: "Beautify the Quran with your voices." I had forgotten it, then Ad-Dahhak ibn Muzahim reminded me of it.
«مَنْ مَنَحَ مَنِيحَةَ وَرِقٍ، أَوْ هَدَى زُقَاقًا، أَوْ سَقَى لَبَنًا، كَانَ لَهُ عَدْلُ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ نَسَمَةٍ، وَمَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، عَشَرَ مِرَارٍ، كَانَ لَهُ عَدْلُ رَقَبَةٍ أَوْ نَسَمَةٍ.» وَكَانَ يَأْتِينَا إِذَا قُمْنَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، فَيَمْسَحُ صُدُورَنَا أَوْ عَوَاتِقَنَا، يَقُولُ: «لَا تَخْتَلِفْ صُفُوفُكُمْ، فَتَخْتَلِفَ قُلُوبُكُمْ.» وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ أَوِ الصُّفُوفِ الْأُوَلِ.» وَقَالَ: «زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ.» كُنْتُ نُسِّيتُهَا، فَذَكَّرَنِيهَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مُزَاحِمٍ
Ibrahim's nursing completed in Paradise
[AI] Ibrahim, the son of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ — or a son of his — died at sixteen months old while he was still nursing. Yahya said: I think it was Ibrahim, upon him be prayer and peace. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "He has a wet nurse who will complete his nursing in Paradise."
مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ابْنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ ابْنٌ لَهُ ابْنَ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا وَهُوَ رَضِيعٌ. قَالَ يَحْيَى: أُرَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنَّ لَهُ مُرْضِعًا يُتِمُّ رَضَاعَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ».
that a man asked him. "O Abu 'ʿUmara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" He replied, "No, by Allah, the Prophet ﷺ did not flee but the hasty people fled and the people of the Tribe of Hawazin attacked them with arrows, while the Prophet ﷺ was riding his white mule and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was holding its reins, and the Prophet ﷺ was saying, 'I am the Prophet ﷺ in truth, I am the son of ʿAbdul Muttalib.' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 2874)
لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ أَوَلَّيْتُمْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ مَا وَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَلَكِنْ وَلَّى سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ تَلَقَّتْهُمْ هَوَازِنُ بِالنَّبْلِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ
"When Allah's Messener arrived in Al-Madinah, he faced Bait Al-Maqdis in Salat for sixteen or seventeen months. Messenger of Allah longed to face the direction of the Ka'bah, so Allah Most High revealed: Verily! We have seen the turning of your face towards the heaven. Surely We shall turn you o a Qiblah that shall please you. So turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid Al-Haram.So he faced the Ka'bah, and he liked that. A man performed the Asr prayer with him, then passed by some of the Ansar who were bowing in Salat for Asr while facing Bait Al-Maqdis." He told them that he had faced the direction of the Ka'bah, so they changed (their direction) while they were bowing." [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbas, Umarah bin Aws, Amr bin Awf Al-Muzani and Anas. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 340)
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ وُجِّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَاهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ} [البقرة 144] الْآيَةَ قَالَ فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهُمْ رُكُوعٌ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ هُوَ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَّهُ قَدْ وُجِّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ فَانْحَرَفُوا وَهُمْ رُكُوعٌ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ
Reciting Surat al-Tin in the Isha prayer
[AI] I heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting in the Isha prayer — Muhammad said: the later one — "By the fig and the olive."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْعِشَاءِ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: الْآخْرَةِ، بِ﴿التِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ﴾.
The Prophet ﷺ said: Beautify the Qur'an with your voices. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1468)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ
Following the Prophet ﷺ into prostration
[AI] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his head from bowing, none of us would bend his back until he prostrated, then we would prostrate.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ، لَمْ يَحْنِ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا ظَهْرَهُ حَتَّى يَسْجُدَ، ثُمَّ نَسْجُدَ.
Supplication heard from the Prophet ﷺ in prayer
[AI] When we prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, among the things I liked—or we liked—was to stand on his right side. Then I heard him say: "My Lord, protect me from Your punishment on the day You gather Your servants, or resurrect Your servants."
كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّا أَحَبَّ أَوْ نُحِبُّ أَنْ نَقُومَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «رَبِّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَجْمَعُ عِبَادَكَ أَوْ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ»
Delivering a sermon with a bow or staff
[AI] that the Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon while leaning on a bow or a staff.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَطَبَ عَلَى قَوْسٍ أَوْ عَصًا.
