"The first person to speak about Al-Qadar was Ma'bad Al-Juhani." He said: "Humaid bin Abdur-Rahman Al-Himyari and I went out until we reached Al-Madinah, and we said: 'If we could only meet someone among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ so we could ask him about what those people have innovated." [He said:] "So we met him - meaning Abdullah bin 'Umar - while he was leaving the Masjid." [He said:] "My companion and I were on either side of him." [He said:] I thought my companion was going to leave the speaking to me so I said: "O Abu Abdur-Rahman! There is a group of people who recite the Qur'an and seek knowledge, and they claim there is no Al-Qadar, and that the affair is left to chance.' He said: "Whenever you meet those people, then tell them that I am not of them and they are not of me. By the One Whom Abdullah swears by! If one of them were to spend gold the like of Uhud (mountain) in charity, it would not be accepted from him until he believes in Al-Qadar; the good of it and the bad of it.'" He said: "Then he began to narrate, he said: "'Umar bin Al-Khattab said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah when a man came with extremely white garments, and extremely black hair. He had no appearance of traveling visible on him, yet none of us recognized him. He came until he reached the Prophet ﷺ. He put his knees up against his knees, and then said: "O Muhammad! What is Iman?' He said 'To believe in Allah, His Angels, His, Books, His Messengers, the Day of Judgement, and Al-Qadar, the good of it and the bad of it.' He said: 'Then what is Islam?' He said: 'Testifying to La Ilaha Illallah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, establishing the Salat, giving the Zakat, performing Hajj to the House, and fasting (the month of) Ramadan.' He said: 'Then what is Ihsan?' He said 'That (is) you worship Allah as if you see Him, and although you do not see Him, He certainly sees you.' He said: 'For all of those he replied to him: 'You have told the truth.'" He said: "So we were amazed at him, he would ask, and then tell him that he is telling the truth. He said: 'Then when is the Hour?' He ﷺ said: 'The one being asked knows no more than the questioner.' He said: 'Then what are its signs?' He said: 'That the slave woman gives birth to her master, and that the naked, poor, and bare-footed shepherds rival each other in the height of the buildings.'" 'Umar said: 'Then the Prophet ﷺ met me three days after that and said: 'O 'Umar! Do you know who the questioner was? It was Jibril. He came to teach you about the matters of your religion.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said concerning the blood money for accidental killing, "Twenty she-camels, twenty she-goats, twenty female camels that have given birth, twenty female sheep, and twenty she-camels that have given birth." Abu Dawood said that this is the statement of Abdullah, meaning that it was narrated from him as a statement that is attributed to him but not directly attributed to the Prophet ﷺ. Abu Abdur-Rahman As-Sulami and Abu Bakr ibn Al-Harith Al-Faqeeh reported that Abu Al-Hasan Ad-Daraqutni, the Hafiz, stated in explaining this hadith, "We do not know."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي دِيَةِ الْخَطَأِ عِشْرُونَ حِقَّةً وَعِشْرُونَ جَذَعَةً وَعِشْرُونَ ابْنَةَ مَخَاضٍ وَعِشْرُونَ ابْنَةَ لَبُونٍ وَعِشْرُونَ ابْنَ مَخَاضٍ ذُكُرٌ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَعْنِي إِنَّمَا رُوِيَ مِنْ قَوْلِ عَبْدِ اللهِ مَوْقُوفًا غَيْرَ مَرْفُوعٍ 16161 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ قَالَا قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ الْحَافِظُ فِي تَعْلِيلِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ لَا نَعْلَمُ  

The first to speak on Divine decree in al-Basrah was Maʿbad al Juhani. I and Humaid b. ʿAbd al-Rahman al-Himyari proceeded to perform Hajj or ʿUmrah. We said : would that we meet any of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ so that we could ask him about what they say with regard to divine decree. So Allah helped us to meet ʿAbd Allah b. ʿUmar who was entering the mosque. So I and my companion surrounded him, and I thought that my companion would entrust me the task of speaking to him. Then I said : Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman, there appeared on our side some people who recite the Qur'an and are engaged in the hair-splitting of knowledge. They conceive that there is no Divine decree and everything happens freely without predestination. He said : When you meet those people, tell them that I am free from them, and they are free from me. By Him by Whom swears ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Umar, if one of them has gold equivalent to Uhud and he spends it, Allah will not accept it from him until he believes in Divine decree. He then said : ‘Umar b. Khattab transmitted to me a tradition, saying : One day when we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a man with very white clothing and very black hair came up to us. No mark of travel was visible on him, and we did not recognize him. Sitting down beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, leaning his knees against his and placing his hands on his thighs, he said : tell me, Muhammad, about Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said : Islam means that you should testify that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, that you should observe prayer, pay Zakat, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the house (i.e., Kaʿbah), If you have the means to go. He said : You have spoken the truth. We were surprised at his questioning him and then declaring that he spoke the truth. He said : Now tell me about faith. He replied : It means that you should believe in Allah, his angels, his Books, his Apostles and the last day, and that you should believe in the decreeing both of good and evil. He said : You have spoken the truth. He said : now tell me about doing good (ihsan). He replied: It means that you should worship Allah as though you are seeing him; if you are not seeing him, he is seeing you. He said: Now tell me about the hour. He replied : The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the one who is asking. He said : Then tell me about its signs. He replied : That a maidservant should beget her mistress, and that you should see barefooted, naked, poor men and shepherds exalting themselves in buildings. ‘Umar said : He then went away, and I waited for three days, then he said : Do you know who the questioner was, ʿUmar? I replied : Allah and his Apostle know best. He said : He was Gabriel who came to you to teach you your religion. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4695)

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Whoever frees a slave that belongs to him, he will have from his wealth what is equal to its value. He should free him by using his own wealth, but if he does not have wealth, then he should work to free the slave without causing any harm or hardship to himself."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ شِقْصًا لَهُ فِي مَمْلُوكٍ فَكَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا يَبْلُغُ قِيمَتَهُ أَعْتَقَ مِنْ مَالِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ اسْتُسْعِيَ الْعَبْدُ غَيْرَ مَشْقُوقٍ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] A man emancipated a slave and the Prophet ﷺ approved his emancipation and imposed a fine equal to the remaining price. Qatadah said: "If he does not have money, the slave should be asked for compensation other than his damaged part." 21376 Abu Bakr informed us that Ali reported: "I heard Naysaboori say: 'How good is what'"  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْتَقَ شِقْصًا مِنْ مَمْلُوكٍ فَأَجَازَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عِتْقَهُ وَغَرَّمَهُ بَقِيَّةَ ثَمَنِهِ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ اسْتَسْعَى الْعَبْدُ غَيْرَ مَشْقُوقٍ عَلَيْهِ 21376 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثنا عَلِيٌّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّيْسَابُورِيَّ يَقُولُ مَا أَحْسَنَ مَا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say, "If there is something to be paid to the scribes, then abstain from it." Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, narrated it in the past from Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah. He said, "I did not memorize from Sufyan that Al-Zuhri heard it from Nu'ayhan, and I did not see anyone from the people of knowledge who confirmed one of these two hadiths. And Allah knows best." He meant the hadith of Nu'ayhan and the hadith of 'Amr ibn Shuayb that the Prophet, ﷺ , said, "Whoever writes a debt for his slave for one hundred uqiyyahs and accepts less than ten uqiyyahs as payment, then he is a slave trader." As for Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, he only narrated the hadith of 'Amr in a disconnected manner, and it has been narrated from other paths from 'Amr, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet, ﷺ . And the hadith of Nu'ayhan, it was reported that Ma'mar heard Al-Zuhri hear it from Nu'ayhan, except that Al-Bukhari and Muslim, the authors of the authentic hadith collections, did not include his hadith in the authentic collection, as if his reliability had not been established in their view, or he did not reach the level of ignorance with the transmission of reliable narrators, and other than Al-Zuhri reported from him, if it is preserved, and he is in

"عن يحيى بن يعمر قال: كان أول من قَالَ في القدرِ بالبصرة معْبَدٌ الجهني، فانطلقت أنا وحميدُ بن عبد الرحمن الحميري، حاجَّين أو مُعتَمريْن، فقلنا: لو لقينا أحدًا من أصحابِ رسول الله ﷺ فَسأَلنَاه عما يقولُ هذا في القدرِ؟ فوُفِّق لنا عبدُ الله بن عمر بن الخطاب داخلَ المسجد، فاكتنفتُه أنا وصاحِبِي أحدُنا عن يمينهِ، والآخر عن شِماله، فظننت أن صاحبي سَيَكِلُ الكلامَ إليَّ، فقلت: أبا عبد الرحمنِ: إنه قد ظهر قبلنا

ناسٌ يَقْرَأُون القرآن ويَتَفَسَّرون العلم، وذكر من شأنِهم يزعمون أن لَا قَدَرَ وأَنَّ الأَمْرَ أنُفٌ، فقال: إذا لقيتَ أولئك فأخبرهم أني بريء منهم وأنهم برآء مِنِّي، والذي يحلفُ به عبدُ الله بن عمر، لو أن لأحدهِم مثل أحدٍ ذهبا فأنفقه ما قبلَ الله منه حتى يؤمِن بالقدرِ، ثم قال: حدثني أبِي عمرُ بنُ الخطاب قال: بينما نحن عند رسول الله ﷺ ذات يومٍ إذ طلع علينا رجلٌ شديد بياضِ الثياب، شديدُ سواد الشعر، لا يرى عليه أثَرُ السَّفر، ولا يعرفُه أحد، حتى جلَسَ إلى النبي ﷺ فأسندَ ركبتيه إلي ركبتيه، ووضع كفيه على فَخِذيه وقال: يا محمد: أخبرني عن الإسلام؟ فقال رسول الله ﷺ : الإسلام أن تشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدا رسول الله، وتقيم الصلاة، وتؤتى الزكاة، وتصوم رمضان، وتحج البيت إن استطعت إليه سبيلا، قال: صدقت، فعجبنا له يسأله ويصدقه! قال: فأخبرني عن الإيمان؟ قال: أن تؤمِن بالله، وملائكته، وكتبه، ورسله، واليوم الآخر، وتؤمِنَ بالقدر خيره وشره، قال: صدقت، قال: فأخبرني عن الإِحسانِ؟ قال: أن تعبد الله كأنكَ تَراه، فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراكَ، قال: فأخبرني عن الساعة؟ قال: ما المسئولُ عنها بأعلم من السائل، قال: فأخبرني عن أَمَارَتها؟ قال: أن تلد الأمة ربتها، وأن تَرى الحفاة العراة العالة رِعاءَ الشاءِ يتطاولون في البنيان، ثم انطلق، فلبثت مَلِيًا، ثم قال يا عمر: أتدري من السائل؟ قلت: الله ورسوله أعلم، قال: فإنه جبريل أتاكم يعلمكم دينكم".
