That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The best of your women are the loving, fertile, compliant, and supportive, if they fear Allah ﷻ. The worst of your women are those who make a display ˹of their beauty˺ and behave arrogantly; they are the hypocrites. None of them will enter Paradise except as rare as the white-marked crow."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «خَيْرُ نِسَائِكُمُ الْوَدُودُ الْوَلُودُ الْمُوَاتِيَةُ الْمُوَاسِيَةُ إِذَا اتَّقَيْنَ اللهَ، وَشَرُّ نِسَائِكُمُ الْمُتَبَرِّجَاتُ الْمُتَخَيِلَّاتُ، وَهُنَّ الْمُنَافِقَاتُ، لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْهُنَّ إِلَّا مِثْلُ الْغُرَابِ الْأَعْصَمِ».
He saw the Prophet ﷺ pray: he said the takbir and raised his hands; when he bowed, he raised his hands; and when he raised his head from bowing, he raised his hands. He kept his arms away from his sides in his bowing, and kept them away in his prostration. When he sat to recite the tashahhud, he placed his right thigh upon the left, placed his right hand, pointed with his index finger, and formed a circle with the middle finger.
أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى، فَكَبَّرَ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، وَخَوَّى فِي رُكُوعِهِ، وَخَوَّى فِي سُجُودِهِ، فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَضَعَ فَخِذَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى، وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى، وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ، وَحَلَّقَ بِالْوُسْطَى.
that she heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "The liar is not the one who reconciles between people: he says good, and conveys good."
أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «لَيْسَ الْكَذَّابُ الَّذِي يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، وَيَقُولُ خَيْرًا، وَيَنْمِي خَيْرًا.»
She heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "The liar is not the one who reconciles between people, conveying good or saying good."
أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «لَيْسَ الْكَذَّابُ الَّذِي يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيَنْمِي خَيْرًا أَوْ يَقُولُ خَيْرًا».
I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was at the standing place (Arafah), and I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have come from the mountain of Tayy; I have worn out my riding mount and exhausted myself. By Allah, there was no mountain among those mountains except that I stood upon it.” He said: "Whoever catches this prayer with us —that is, the morning prayer— and had come to Arafah before that, by night or day, has completed his Hajj and fulfilled his tafath."
جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ بِالمَوقِفِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتَيْتُ مِنْ جَبَلِ طَيِّئٍ، أَكْلَلْتُ مَطِيَّتِي وَأَتْعَبْتُ نَفْسِي، وَاللَّهِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْجِبَالِ إِلَّا وَقَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مَعَنَا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ وَقَدْ أَتَى عَرَفَةَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ لَيْلًا أَوْ نَهَارًا فَقَدْ أَتَمَّ حَجَّهُ وَقَضَى تَفَثَهُ».
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If he becomes intoxicated, flog him; then if he becomes intoxicated, flog him; then if he becomes intoxicated, flog him; then if he returns a fourth time, kill him."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِذَا سَكِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ، ثُمَّ إِنْ سَكِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ، ثُمَّ إِنْ سَكِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ، فَإِنْ عَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَاقْتُلُوهُ».
from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "May Allah brighten ˹the face of˺ a man who hears a saying of mine, so he internalizes it, remembers it, and conveys it ˹to others˺. Perhaps he carries ˹its˺ understanding to the one who has more understanding than him. There are three ˹qualities˺ that will not cause rancor in the heart of a Muslim toward ˹others˺: (1) sincerity in the deeds for ˹the sake of˺ Allah, (2) giving sincere advice to the leaders / religious authority of the Muslims, and (3) staying involved within their community for their dua guards them from behind them."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَوَعَاهَا وَحَفِظَهَا وَبَلَّغَهَا فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ ثَلاَثٌ لاَ يُغَلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ مُسْلِمٍ: (١) إِخْلاَصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ، (٢) وَمُنَاصَحَةُ أَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، (٣) وَلُزُومِ جَمَاعَتِهِمْ، فَإِنَّ الدَّعْوَةَ تُحِيطُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ».
There were two brothers during the time of the Prophet ﷺ. One of them used to come to the Prophet ﷺ ˹to learn˺, while the other ˹used to˺ work ˹and earn˺. The one who worked complained about his brother to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: "Perhaps you are provided for because of him."
كَانَ أَخَوَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَأْتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، وَالْآخَرُ يَحْتَرِفُ، فَشَكَا الْمُحْتَرِفُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: «لَعَلَّكَ تُرْزَقُ بِهِ».
[AI] We were sitting around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a desert Arab—an eloquent Bedouin from Yemen—entered on a red she-camel. He made it kneel at the door of the mosque, then came in, greeted us, and sat down. When he had finished, they said, “O Messenger of Allah, the she-camel under the Bedouin is stolen.” He said, “Is there proof?” They said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “O ʿAlī, take Allah’s due from the Bedouin if the proof is established against him; and if it is not established, then return him to me.”
The Bedouin lowered his head for a while. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to him, “Stand, O Bedouin, for Allah’s matter; otherwise present your argument.” Whereupon the she-camel spoke from behind the door: “By Him who sent you with honor, O Messenger of Allah, this man did not steal me, and no one has owned me other than he.” The Prophet ﷺ said to him, “O Bedouin, by Him who made her speak in your defense—what was it that you said?” He replied, “I said: O Allah, You are not a Lord whom we have newly invented, nor is there with You a god who aided You in creating us, nor is there with You any lord such that we would doubt Your lordship. You are our Lord as we say, and above what those who speak can say. I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad and to clear me by my innocence.”
The Prophet ﷺ said to him, “By Him who sent me with honor, O Bedouin, I have indeed seen the angels racing to the mouths of the alleys, writing down your words—so increase your prayers for blessings upon me.”
كُنَّا جُلُوسًا حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ دَخَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ جَهْوَرِيٌّ بَدَوِيٌّ يَمَانِيٌّ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ فَأَنَاخَ بِبَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَدَخَلَ فَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى نَحْبَهُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاقَةَ الَّتِي تَحْتَ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ سَرِقَةٌ قَالَ «أَثَمَّ بَيِّنَةٌ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «يَا عَلِيُّ خُذْ حَقَّ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ إِنْ قَامَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيِّنَةُ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَقُمْ فَرُدَّهُ إِلَيَّ»
قَالَ فَأَطْرَقَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ سَاعَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «قُمْ يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَإِلَّا فَادْلُ بِحُجَّتِكَ» فَقَالَتِ النَّاقَةُ مِنْ خَلْفِ الْبَابِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْكَرَامَةِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا مَا سَرَقَنِي وَلَا مَلَكَنِي أَحَدٌ سِوَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ بِالَّذِي أَنْطَقَهَا بِعُذْرِكَ مَا الَّذِي قُلْتِ؟» قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِرَبٍّ اسْتَحْدَثْنَاكَ وَلَا مَعَكَ إِلَهٌ أَعَانَكَ عَلَى خَلْقِنَا وَلَا مَعَكَ رَبٌّ فَنَشُكُّ فِي رُبُوبِيَّتِكَ أَنْتَ رَبُّنَا كَمَا نَقُولُ وَفَوْقَ مَا يَقُولُ الْقَائِلُونَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَنْ تُبَرِّئَنِي بِبَرَاءَتِي
فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْكَرَامَةِ يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يَبْتَدِرُونَ أَفْوَاهَ الْأَزِقَّةِ يَكْتُبُونَ مَقَالَتَكَ فَأَكْثِرِ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيَّ»
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Seek for me weak persons, for you are provided means of subsistence and helped through your weaklings. Abu Dawud said: Zaid b. Artat is the brother of 'Adi b. Artat.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ابْغُونِي الضُّعَفَاءَ فَإِنَّمَا تُرْزَقُونَ وَتُنْصَرُونَ بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ
[AI] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , stood on a high place and we were with him. He said, "How blessed is the land of Madinah! When the Dajjal (Antichrist) appears, he will be unable to enter it. And when he does so, it will shake three times, expelling all the hypocrites. None will remain but that he will go out to him, and the majority of those who go out to him will be women. That will be the Day of Deliverance, and on that day Madinah will eliminate its impurities, just as the furnace removes impurities from iron. At that time, Madinah will have seventy thousand Jews, each of whom will be armed with a helmet and sword. These will be struck at their necks with the blow that will be with the assembly of rivers. Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "There has never been a greater trial or will be until the Hour than the trial of the Dajjal, and there has never been a prophet who warned his people about him without me warning you about him. And I will tell you something about him which no prophet before me has told his people. Then he put his hand on his eye and said, "I bear witness that Allah is not one-eyed."
أَشْرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَلَقٍ مِنْ أَفْلَاقِ الْحَرَّةِ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ نِعْمَتِ الْأَرْضُ الْمَدِينَةُ إِذَا خَرَجَ الدَّجَّالُ عَلَى كُلِّ نَقْبٍ مِنْ أَنْقَابِهَا مَلَكٌ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ رَجَفَتْ الْمَدِينَةُ بِأَهْلِهَا ثَلَاثَ رَجَفَاتٍ لَا يَبْقَى مُنَافِقٌ وَلَا مُنَافِقَةٌ إِلَّا خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ وَأَكْثَرُ يَعْنِي مَنْ يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ النِّسَاءُ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمُ التَّخْلِيصِ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمَ تَنْفِي الْمَدِينَةُ الْخَبَثَ كَمَا يَنْفِي الْكِيرُ خَبَثَ الْحَدِيدِ يَكُونُ مَعَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ سَاجٌ وَسَيْفٌ مُحَلًّى فَتُضْرَبُ رَقَبَتُهُ بِهَذَا الضَّرْبِ الَّذِي عِنْدَ مُجْتَمَعِ السُّيُولِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا كَانَتْ فِتْنَةٌ وَلَا تَكُونُ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ وَلَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا وَقَدْ حَذَّرَهُ أُمَّتَهُ وَلَأُخْبِرَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مَا أَخْبَرَهُ نَبِيٌّ أُمَّتَهُ قَبْلِي ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى عَيْنِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللهَ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ
“Consult the orphan girl about herself, and her consent is her silence.”
"آمِّرُوا الْيَتِيمَةَ في نَفْسِها وإِذْنُها صمَاتُها ".
[AI] Ali used to say during the life of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that Allah says, "If he dies or is killed, will you turn back on your heels?" By Allah, we will not turn back on our heels after Allah has guided us. And by Allah, if he dies or is killed, I will surely fight for what he fought for until I die. And by Allah, I am his brother, his guardian, his cousin, and his inheritor. So, who is more entitled to him than me?
أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ {أَفَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ} وَاللهِ لَا نَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَانَا اللهُ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ عَلَى مَا قَاتَلَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَخُوهُ وَوَلِيُّهُ وَابْنُ عَمِّهِ وَوَارِثُهُ فَمَنْ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنِّي
Messenger of Allah ﷺ made it incumbent on all the slave or free Muslims, male or female, to pay one Sa' of dates or barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَضَ زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ عَلَى كُلِّ حُرٍّ أَوْ عَبْدٍ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
He asked the Prophet ﷺ: “In how many days should I ˹complete˺ the Quran?” He mentioned the hadith, saying: until he said: “In seven ˹days˺; he does not understand who recites it in less than three.” He said: “How should I fast?” He said: “Fast three days of every month, one day out of every ten days, and the reward of nine days will be recorded for you.” He said: “I am stronger than that.” He said: “Then fast two days out of every ten, and the reward of eight days will be recorded for you,” until it reached five days.
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ: فِي كَمْ أَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ؟ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: حَتَّى قَالَ: «فِي سَبْعٍ، لَا يَفْقَهُ مَنْ قَرَأَهُ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ». وَقَالَ: كَيْفَ أَصُومُ؟ قَالَ: «صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا، وَيُكْتَبُ لَكَ أَجْرُ تِسْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ». قَالَ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: «صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ يَوْمَيْنِ، وَيُكْتَبُ لَكَ أَجْرُ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ»، حَتَّى بَلَغَ خَمْسَةَ أَيَّامٍ.
Ibn Umar, when he recited the Quran, would not speak until he had finished it. One day I stayed with him, and he recited Surat al-Baqarah until he reached a certain point. He said, “Do you know about what it was revealed?” I said, “No.” He said, “It was revealed concerning such-and-such,” then he continued.
كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ إِذَا قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْهُ فَأَخَذْتُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمًا فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى مَكَانٍ قَالَ تَدْرِي فِيمَا أُنْزِلَتْ قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ أُنْزِلَتْ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا ثُمَّ مَضَى
Jews used to say: "If one has sexual intercourse with his wife from the back, then she will deliver a squint-eyed child." So this Verse was revealed:-- "Your wives are a tilth unto you; so go to your tilth when or how you will." (2.223)
كَانَتِ الْيَهُودُ تَقُولُ إِذَا جَامَعَهَا مِنْ وَرَائِهَا جَاءَ الْوَلَدُ أَحْوَلَ فَنَزَلَتْ ﴿نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ﴾
I had a sister who was being proposed to; and Ibrahim > Yunus > al-Ḥasan > Ma‘qil b. Yasar ˹said the same˺.
Abu Mamar > Abd al-Warith > Yunus > al-Ḥasan that the sister of Ma‘qil b. Yasār was divorced by her husband, and he left her until her waiting period ended. Then he proposed to her, but Ma‘qil refused. So the verse was revealed: “So do not prevent them from marrying their husbands.” (Baqarah 2:232)
كَانَتْ لِي أُخْتٌ تُخْطَبُ إِلَىَّ وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ أُخْتَ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا فَتَرَكَهَا حَتَّى انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا فَخَطَبَهَا فَأَبَى مَعْقِلٌ فَنَزَلَتْ ﴿فَلاَ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَنْ يَنْكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ﴾
The Prophet ﷺ said: Anyone who incites a woman against her husband or a slave against his master is not one of us.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ خَبَّبَ امْرَأَةً عَلَى زَوْجِهَا أَوْ عَبْدًا عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ».
