قَرَأَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي الْعِشَاءِ وَالتِّينِ وَالزَّيْتُونِ فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحْسَنَ صَوْتًا وَلَا أَحْسَنَ صَلَاةً مِنْهُ

"The Messenger of Allah commanded us to do seven things, and forbade us form seven things. He commanded us to visit the risk, to reply (say: Yarhamuk Allah, may Allah have mercy on you) to one who sneezes, to fulfill our oaths, to support the oppressed, to spread the greeting of Salam, to accept invitation, and to attend funerals. And he forbade us from using gold rings, silver vessels, Mayathir, the Qasiyyah, Al-Istabraq, silk and Ad-Dibaj." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1939)

[Machine] On the authority of Sufyan, similarly to him, and he did not mention in it the spreading of peace, and he said that he forbade us from golden and silver utensils.

عَنْ سُفْيَانَ مِثْلَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ إِفْشَاءَ السَّلَامِ وَقَالَ نَهَانَا عَنْ آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Allah and the angels send blessings upon the first row.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 999)  

أحمد:١٨٦٤٦حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ رُزَيْقٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

[Machine] An Arabi came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, teach me an action that will admit me to Jannah (Paradise)." He replied, "If you can control the length of your speech, you will have fulfilled the request. Free a slave and remove the burden from the neck of someone in bondage." The Arabi asked, "Are these not the same?" The Prophet replied, "No. Freeing a slave is to free them completely, and removing the burden of someone in bondage is to assist them in freeing themselves. The gift of alms, forgiving debts and supporting those who have been wronged all go to the one who has been oppressed. If you are unable to do these, then feed the hungry and give water to the thirsty. Enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. If you are unable to do this, then keep silent, except for that which is good."

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلِّمْنِي عَمَلًا يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ لَئِنْ كُنْتَ أَقْصَرْتَ الْخُطْبَةَ لَقَدْ أَعْرَضْتَ الْمَسْأَلَةَ أَعْتِقِ النَّسَمَةَ وَفُكَّ الرَّقَبَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوَلَيْسَتَا بِوَاحِدَةٍ؟ قَالَ لَا إِنَّ عِتْقَ النَّسَمَةِ أَنْ تَفَرَّدَ بِعِتْقِهَا وَفَكَّ الرَّقَبَةِ أَنْ تُعِينَ فِي عِتْقِهَا وَالْمِنْحَةُ الْوَكُوفُ وَالْفَيْءُ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ الظَّالِمِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تُطِقْ ذَلِكَ فَأَطْعِمِ الْجَائِعَ وَاسْقِ الظَّمْآنَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تُطِقْ ذَلِكَ فَكُفَّ لِسَانَكَ إِلَّا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, what do you command me? I am blind." He said, so the verse (Surah An-Nisa 95) was revealed: "Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled." He said, then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Bring me a shoulder and a medicine or a plank and a medicine."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to Hassaan, "Argue with them or debate with them, for indeed Jibreel is with you."  

أحمد:١٨٦٥٠حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِحَسَّانَ هَاجِهِمْ أَوْ اهْجُهُمْ فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ مَعَكَ  

ahmad:18651Wakīʿ > Sufyān > Abū Isḥāq > al-Barāʾ

the Prophet (saas) said to a man: "When you go to lay down, or go to your bed, say: Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilayka, wa al-ja'tu zahri ilayka, wa fawwadtu amri ilayka, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayka, la malja'a wa la manja'a minka illa ilayka, amantu bi kitabikal-ladhi anzalta, wa nabiyyikal arsalta [O Allah, I have submitted my face (i.e., myself) to You, and I am under Your command (i.e., I depend upon You in all my affairs), and I put my trust in You, hoping for Your reward and fearing Your punishment. There is no fleeing from You and no refuge from You except with You. I believe in Your Book that You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent).' Then if you die that night, you will die in a state of the Fitrah (nature), and if you wake in the morning you will wake with a great deal of good." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3876)  

أحمد:١٨٦٥١حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَقُلْ اللهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ فَإِنْ مُتَّ مُتَّ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ وَإِنْ أَصْبَحْتَ أَصْبَحْتَ وَقَدْ أَصَبْتَ خَيْرًا

ahmad:18653ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq > al-Barāʾ > Ibn Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq > al-Barāʾ

[Machine] When the verse "The believers who stay behind" [Quran 4:95] was revealed, followed by "except for those who are disabled" [Quran 4:95], the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ summoned Zaid and dictated these verses to him. However, Ibn Umm Maktum, who was blind, complained about his own situation. As a result, the verse was revealed again, clarifying that "The believers who stay behind, other than those who are disabled" [Quran 4:95].  

أحمد:١٨٦٥٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْبَرَاءَ قَالَ

[Machine] We used to pray behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when he lifted his head from bowing, none of us would straighten his back until the Prophet ﷺ prostrated. Then we would prostrate.

That whenever the Prophet ﷺ would return from a trip, he would say: “(We are) Returning, repenting, worshipping, and to our Lord directing the praise (Ā’ibūna tā’būna ʿābidūna lirabbinā ḥāmidūn).” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3440)

He stood up among us and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'His hand is longer than mine,' or he said, 'My hand is shorter than his.' He said, 'There are four types of animals that are not permissible for sacrifice: a one-eyed animal whose defect is obvious, a sick animal whose sickness is obvious, a limping animal whose limp is obvious, and a broken-back animal that does not benefit.' So I said to Baraa', 'We also dislike having any deficiency in the ear, eye, or tooth.' He replied, 'If you dislike it, leave it, and do not prohibit it for anyone else.'

[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ moving from the sand of the trench until he could see the dirt on his abdomen, and he was saying the words of Abdullah bin Rawaha. O Allah, if it weren't for You, we wouldn't have been guided, given charity, or prayed. Send down tranquility upon us and make our steps steadfast if we encounter our enemies. Indeed, the highest group has transgressed against us, and if they intend to cause us turmoil, we refuse.
