[Machine] I heard Al-Arbaad bin Sariyah Al-Sulami saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once stood among us during a morning gathering and delivered a powerful sermon that made our hearts tremble and tears flow from our eyes." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have delivered to us a farewell sermon. Advise us." He said, "I enjoin upon you the fear of Allah, and I presume that this is what I have been ordered to advise you. And listen and obey, even if an Abyssinian slave were to rule over you. For surely, he among you who lives long will see great conflict. Therefore, hold fast to my Sunnah and the sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs after me. Bite onto it with your molar teeth and beware of newly invented matters (in religion), for every innovation is a misguidance." And among these innovators is Ma'bad bin Abdullah bin Hisham Al-Qurashi, and the way to him is not a condition of this book. So I left him, although I have diligently researched this hadith and have written about it, as Imam Shu'bah mentioned in the narration of Abdullah bin Ata' from Uqbah bin Amir when he sought it in Basrah, Kufa, Al-Madinah, and Makkah. The hadith then returned to Shah bin Hawshab, who left it. Then Shu'bah said, "For me to narrate a hadith like this one from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is more beloved to me than having my parents, children, and all the people." And this hadith is authentic, and all praise is due to Allah, and may Allah send blessings upon Muhammad and his family.

[Machine] "Verily, knowledge and faith are sought at their places. Whoever seeks them, shall find them." He said that three times. Seek knowledge from four men: Uwaymir, the father of Darad, Salman al-Farsi, and Abdullah ibn Mas'ood, and Abdullah ibn Salam. Verily, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, he is one of the ten in Paradise."  

إِنَّ الْعِلْمَ وَالْإِيمَانَ مَكَانَهُمَا مَنِ الْتَمَسَهُمَا وَجَدَهُمَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَالْتَمِسُوا الْعِلْمَ عِنْدَ أَرْبَعَةِ رَهْطٍ عِنْدَ عُوَيْمِرٍ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَعِنْدَ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ وَعِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ عَاشِرُ عَشَرَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] It saddens me that I used to ask you every day, but you would stay away from me. Mu'adh said, "Knowledge and faith are like two smiling faces; go and seek them." Yazid asked, "Where can I find them?" Mu'adh said, "With four people; with Uwaimir, father of Dardaa, Abdullah bin Mas'ud, Salman the Persian, and Abdullah bin Salam. It is said that they are the ten companions of Paradise." Yazid said, "I also heard that they could be found with Umar ibn al-Khattab." Mu'adh said, "Do not ask him about anything, for he is busy with other matters." Al-Zuhri narrated part of this hadith from Abu Idris.  

يُبْكِينِي مَا كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يَنْقَطِعُ عَنِّي فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ «إِنَّ الْعِلْمَ وَالْإِيمَانَ بَشَّاشَانِ قُمْ فَالْتَمِسْهُمَا» قَالَ يَزِيدُ وَعِنْدَ مَنْ أَلْتَمِسُهُمَا؟ فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ عِنْدَ أَرْبَعَةِ نَفَرٍ عِنْدَ عُوَيْمِرٍ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَعِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعِنْدَ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ وَعِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُقَالُ إِنَّهُ عَاشِرُ عَشَرَةٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ يَزِيدُ فَقُلْتُ وَعِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ «لَا تَسْأَلْهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّهُ عَنْكَ مَشْغُولٌ» وَقَدْ رَوَى الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ طَرَفًا مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ  

[Machine] "Knowledge and faith are found by those who seek them."  

الْعِلْمُ وَالْإِيمَانُ مَكَانَهُمَا مَنِ ابْتَغَاهُمَا وَجَدَهُمَا  

[Machine] He (the narrator) said, Al-Awf bin Malik al-Ashja'i reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, looked at the sky one day and said, "This is the time when knowledge is raised." A man from the Ansar, known as Ibn Labid, said, "O Messenger of Allah, how is knowledge raised when it has been established in the Book and firmly established in the hearts?" The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "If only I considered you one of the most knowledgeable people of Madinah." Then he mentioned the misguidance of the Jews and the Christians regarding what they have in their hands from the Book of Allah. He said, "So I met Shaddad ibn Aws and I informed him of the hadith of Awf bin Malik." Shaddad ibn Aws said, "Awf spoke the truth. Should I inform you of the first thing to be raised?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Humility until you do not see a person in a state of fear and awe." I said, "This is correct." The two sheikhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) have relied on all of its narrators, and the witness to that is Shaddad ibn Aws, as Jubayr bin Nufayr has heard the hadith from both of them collectively. And it is also confirmed by a third companion, which is Abu Darda.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ «هَذَا أَوَانُ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ لَبِيدٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ وَقَدْ أُثْبِتَ فِي الْكِتَابِ وَوَعَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْسَبُكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ضَلَالَةَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ عَوْفٌ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَوَّلِ ذَلِكَ يُرْفَعُ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ الْخُشُوعُ حَتَّى لَا تَرَى خَاشِعًا «هَذَا صَحِيحٌ وَقَدِ احْتَجَّ الشَّيْخَانِ بِجَمِيعِ رُوَاتِهِ وَالشَّاهِدُ لِذَلِكَ فِيهِ شَدَّادُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ فَقَدْ سَمِعَ جُبَيْرُ بْنُ نُفَيْرٍ الْحَدِيثَ مِنْهُمَا جَمِيعًا» وَمِنْ ثَالِثٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ وَهُوَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِصحيح احتجا برواته  

[Machine] "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , when he glanced with his eyes towards the sky and then said, 'This is the time when knowledge will be taken away from people until they will not be able to learn anything from it.' Ziyad ibn Labid al-Ansari said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how will knowledge be taken away from us when we have read the Qur'an? By Allah, we will recite it and teach it to our women and children.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'May your mother grieve for you, O Ziyad! I used to consider you among the knowledgeable people of Madinah. This Torah and Injil (Gospel) are with the Jews and Christians, so what will be the use of them?' Jubair said, 'I met Ubadah ibn as-Samit and said to him, 'Don't you listen to what your brother Abu ad-Darda is saying?' I informed him about what he said. He replied, 'Abu ad-Darda has spoken the truth. If you wish, I can tell you about the first knowledge to be lifted from people, which is khushu (humility and submissiveness in prayer). Soon, you will enter a congregational mosque, but you will not find a single person in it who is truly humble.'"  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَخَصَ بِبَصَرِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَذَا أَوَانُ يُخْتَلَسُ الْعِلْمُ مِنَ النَّاسِ حَتَّى لَا يَقْدِرُوا مِنْهُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ» قَالَ فَقَالَ زِيَادُ بْنُ لَبِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ يُخْتَلَسُ مِنَّا وَقَدْ قَرَأْنَا الْقُرْآنَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَنَقْرَأَنَّهُ وَلَنُقْرِئَنَّهُ نِسَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَنَا فَقَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا زِيَادُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ لَأَعُدُّكَ مِنْ فُقَهَاءِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ هَذَا التَّوْرَاةُ وَالْإِنْجِيلُ عِنْدَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى فَمَاذَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ؟» قَالَ جُبَيْرٌ فَلَقِيتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَلَا تَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ أَخُوكَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ وَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ قَالَ صَدَقَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنْ شِئْتَ لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكَ بِأَوَّلِ عِلْمٍ يُرْفَعُ مِنَ النَّاسِ الْخُشُوعُ يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ مَسْجِدَ الْجَمَاعَةِ فَلَا تَرَى فِيهِ رَجُلًا خَاشِعًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is the time of the disappearance of knowledge." Shu'bah (narrator) said, "Or he said, the time of the interruption of knowledge." They asked, "How can this be when we have the Book of Allah, and we teach it to our children and their children?" He (the Messenger of Allah) replied, "May your mother lose you! I thought you were one of the most knowledgeable people in Madinah. Are not the Jews and Christians among them who have the Book of Allah, the Torah and the Gospel, but they do not benefit from it in any way?" "The hadith is well established without any doubt, with the narration of Ziyad ibn Labid with a clear chain of transmission."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَذَا أَوَانُ ذَهَابِ الْعِلْمِ» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَوْ قَالَ «أَوَانُ انْقِطَاعِ الْعِلْمِ» قَالُوا كَيْفَهُ وَفِينَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ تُعَلِّمُهُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا أَبْنَاءَهُمْ؟ قَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ ابْنَ لَبِيدٍ مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسِبُكَ إِلَّا مِنْ أَعْقِلِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَلَيْسَ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى فِيهِمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ التَّوْرَاةُ وَالْإِنْجِيلُ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعُوا مِنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ» «قَدْ ثَبَتَ الْحَدِيثُ بِلَا رَيْبٍ فِيهِ بِرِوَايَةِ زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ الْوَاضِحِ»  

[Machine] "A narration from Zirr ibn Hubaysh, trustworthy witnesses, other than Asim ibn Bahdalah. Among them is Al-Minhaal ibn Amr, and they both agreed upon it." The chain of narration is authentic.  

عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ شُهُودٌ ثِقَاتٌ غَيْرُ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ فَمِنْهُمُ الْمِنْهَالُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَقَدِ اتَّفَقَا عَلَيْهِ» إسناده صحيح  

[Machine] A man named Safwan ibn Assal came from Murad to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "What brought you here?" He replied, "Seeking knowledge." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, the angels spread their wings in approval of the seeker of knowledge." The narration mentions, "This is Arim, Abu Nu'man Muhammad ibn Al-Fadl Al-Basri, a knowledgeable and trustworthy person whom Al-Bukhari relied upon in various narrations of this hadith. He narrated it from him in Sahih. However, Sinan ibn Farrowkh contradicted him in this hadith, and he narrated it from As-Sa'q ibn Hazn."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُرَادٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقَالُ لَهُ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَسَّالٍ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟» قَالَ ابْتِغَاءُ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ رِضًى بِمَا يَصْنَعُ» وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ «عَارِمٌ هَذَا هُوَ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْبَصْرِيُّ حَافِظٌ ثِقَةٌ اعْتَمَدَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي جُمْلَةٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ رَوَاهَا عَنْهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ وَقَدْ خَالَفَهُ سِنَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ الصَّعْقِ بْنِ حَزْنٍ»  

[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah and he mentioned the hadith, 'And Abu Janab Al-Kalbi prevented Talhah bin Musarrif from narrating from Zirr bin Hubaysh. And Abu Janab, whoever does not rely on his narration in this book, Shiban contradicted him."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ «وَقَدْ أَوْقَفَهُ أَبُو جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ وَأَبُو جَنَابٍ مَنْ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِرِوَايَتِهِ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ» خالفه شيبان  

[Machine] "Indeed, he does not do what you have done for him, except that the angels have placed their wings over him in satisfaction of what he does. And we have mentioned in this Hadith of what is not weakened, as this Hadith has been narrated by a group and another group has stopped at it, and the one who narrated it is more reliable, and the addition from them is accepted."  

«أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَصْنَعُ مَا صَنَعْتَ لَهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَضَعَتْ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا رِضًى بِمَا يَصْنَعُ» «وَذَكَرْنَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ هَذَا مِمَّا لَا يُوهِنُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَقَدْ أَسْنَدَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ وَأَوْقَفَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ وَالَّذِي أَسْنَدَهُ أَحْفَظُ وَالزِّيَادَةُ مِنْهُمْ مَقْبُولَةٌ»  

[Machine] So we asked him, "Do you talk like this and you're Iraqi?" He replied, "Because I heard Abu Huraira narrating from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: 'Whoever is asked about knowledge and conceals it, will be brought with a bridle of fire on the Day of Judgment.'"  

فَحَدَّثَهُ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ تُحَدِّثُ هَذَا وَهُوَ عِرَاقِيٌّ؟ قَالَ لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ سُئِلَ عَنْ عِلْمٍ فَكَتَمَهُ جِيءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَقَدْ أُلْجِمَ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever is asked about knowledge and conceals it, Allah will bridle him with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection."

"So I said to him, 'He made a mistake in this regard, either Azhar bin Marwan or your teacher Ibn Ahmad Al-Wasiti, and excluding both of them is far-fetched.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سُئِلَ عَنْ عِلْمٍ فَكَتَمَهُ أَلْجَمَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ» «فَقُلْتُ لَهُ قَدْ أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ أَزْهَرُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ أَوْ شَيْخُكُمُ ابْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ وَغَيْرُ مُسْتَبْعَدٍ مِنْهُمَا الْوَهْمُ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever conceals knowledge, Allah will bridle him with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection.' This is an authentic narration from the Egyptians, according to the conditions of both Al-Bukhari and Muslim, and it does not have any defects. It is also narrated in the same chapter through a group of companions, other than Abu Hurairah, according to their condition, and it does not have any defect."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ كَتَمَ عِلْمًا أَلْجَمَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ» «هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ عِلَّةٌ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ غَيْرِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ على شرطهما ولا علة له  

[Machine] "Do you know why I walked with you?" They said, "Yes, we are the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and you walked with us." He said, "Indeed, you are visiting a people who have a recitation of the Qur'an like the buzzing of bees. Do not distract them with your narrations, narrow down the recitation of the Qur'an, and decrease the narrations from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And I am your partner." When they arrived at Qaraza, they said, "Tell us." He said, "Ibn al-Khattab prohibited us."  

«أَتَدْرُونَ لِمَ مَشَيْتُ مَعَكُمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ نَحْنُ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَشَيْتَ مَعَنَا قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتُونَ أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ لَهُمْ دَوِيٌّ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ فَلَا تَبْدُونَهُمْ بِالْأَحَادِيِثِ فَيَشْغَلُونَكُمْ جَرِّدُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَأَقِلُّوا الرِّوَايَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَامْضُوا وَأَنَا شَرِيكُكُمْ» فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَرَظَةُ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا قَالَ نَهَانَا ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ  

[Machine] "I entered upon Qaradah ibn Ka'b, Abu Mas'ud, and Zaid ibn Thabit, and found slave girls with them singing. So I said to them, 'Are you doing this while being companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' They replied, 'If you can hear, then listen; otherwise, leave. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ allowed us to engage in playful activities, participate in weddings, and cry at funerals.'"  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى قَرَظَةَ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَأَبِي مَسْعُودٍ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ فَإِذَا عِنْدَهُمْ جَوَارِي يُغَنِّينَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ أَتَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا وَأَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا «إِنْ كُنْتَ تَسْمَعُ وَإِلَّا فَامْضِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَخَّصَ لَنَا فِي اللَّهْوِ فِي الْعُرْسِ وَفِي الْبُكَاءِ عِنْدَ الْمَيِّتِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever attributes to me what I have not said should take his place in Hellfire, and whoever seeks advice from his brother and he misguides him, then he has betrayed him. And whoever issues a fatwa without knowledge, then his sin is upon the one who takes his fatwa." This was narrated by Yahya ibn Ayyub from Bakr ibn Amr, who relied on his narrations except for Amr, and he was trustworthy.  

بِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَنِ اسْتَشَارَهُ أَخُوهُ فَأَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ بِغَيْرِ رِشْدَةٍ فَقَدْ خَانَهُ وَمَنْ أَفْتَى بِفُتْيَا غَيْرِ ثَبْتٍ فَإِنَّمَا إِثْمُهُ عَلَى مَنْ أَفْتَاهُ» تَابَعَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍووتابعه يحيى بن أيوب عن بكر بن عمرو بنحوه احتجا برواته سوى عمرو وقد وثق  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever attributes to me that which I did not say, let him take his place in Hellfire. And whoever gives a fatwa (religious verdict) without knowledge, his sin is upon the one who gave him the fatwa. And whoever points to his brother with something he knows is wrong, then he has betrayed him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ بُنْيَانَهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ وَمَنْ أَفْتَى بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ كَانَ إِثْمُهُ عَلَى مَنْ أَفْتَاهُ وَمَنْ أَشَارَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ بِأَمْرٍ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الرُّشْدَ فِي غَيْرِهِ فَقَدْ خَانَهُ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "There will be, in the last days, people from my Ummah (nation) who will inform you about things you and your fathers have not heard. So, be cautious of them and their words."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «سَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُحَدِّثُونَكُمْ بِمَا لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا أَنْتُمْ وَلَا آبَاؤُكُمْ فَإِيَّاكُمْ وَإِيَّاهُمْ»  

[Machine] "Economy in the Sunnah is better than striving in innovation." Narrated by Thawri from Al-A'mash from Malik ibn Al-Harith.  

«الِاقْتِصَادُ فِي السُّنَّةِ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الِاجْتِهَادِ فِي الْبِدْعَةِ» رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ  

[Machine] "From Abdullah like him."  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِثْلَهُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from four things: Knowledge which does not profit, a heart which is not submissive, a soul which has an insatiable appetite, and a supplication which is not heard." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1548)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَقَلَبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَنَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَدُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ «»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to supplicate and say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that does not fear (You), from a soul that is not satisfied, and from a prayer that is not heard." And he has a authentic witness in the narration of Anas bin Malik on the condition of being narrated by Muslim.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَقَلَبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَنَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَدُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ» وَلَهُ شَاهِدٌ صَحِيحٌ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ  

[Machine] One of the supplications of the Prophet ﷺ was: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that is of no benefit, from a heart that does not humble itself, from a soul that is never satisfied, and from a prayer that is not answered." And he would say at the end of it, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from these four." "And it has been reported to me that Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj included it in his narration from Zaid ibn Arqam from the Prophet ﷺ ." And this is according to the condition of Muslim.  

كَانَ مِنْ دُعَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَقَلَبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَنَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَدُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ» وَيَقُولُ فِي آخِرِ ذَلِكَ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَرْبَعِ» «وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ مُسْلِمَ بْنَ الْحَجَّاجِ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ» وهذا على شرط مسلم  

[Machine] "About the Prophet ﷺ, he is just a human being who gets angry just like other humans. So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the Quraysh say that I write about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but he is just a human being who gets angry just like other humans.' He motioned with his lips and said, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, nothing comes out from between these two lips except the truth, so write.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ بَشَرٌ يَغْضَبُ كَمَا يَغْضَبُ الْبَشَرُ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ قُرَيْشًا تَقُولُ تَكْتُبُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ بَشَرٌ يَغْضَبُ كَمَا يَغْضَبُ الْبَشَرُ قَالَ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَى شَفَتَيْهِ فَقَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِمَّا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا حَقٌّ فَاكْتُبْ»  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I write down what I hear from you?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Should I write down both when you are angry and when you are pleased?" He said, "Yes, for it is not permissible for me to speak except the truth." So let the seeker of this knowledge know that no one ever narrated in the lifetime of Amr ibn Shu'aib except Muslim, who heard from Shu'aib through Abdullah ibn Amr. And when a hadith is narrated from Amr ibn Shu'aib from Mujahid from Abdullah ibn Amr, then it is an authentic hadith, although I have mentioned it as a witness to the hadith of Abdul Wahid ibn Qays, and this same hadith has been narrated verbatim from Yusuf ibn Mahak.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكْتُبُ مَا أَسْمَعُ مِنْكَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ وَعِنْدَ الرِّضَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ إِلَّا حَقًّا» فَلْيَعْلَمْ طَالِبُ هَذَا الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ قَطُّ فِي عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ وَإِنَّمَا تَكَلَّمَ مُسْلِمٌ فِي سَمَاعِ شُعَيْبٍ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَإِذَا جَاءَ الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَإِنَّهُ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى أَنِّي إِنَّمَا ذَكَرْتُهُ شَاهِدًا لِحَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ بِعَيْنِهِ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ  

[Machine] I used to write everything I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I wanted to memorize it, but the Quraysh forbade me and said, "You write everything you hear from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is a human who speaks in a state of satisfaction and anger?" So I refrained and mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, "Write, by the One in whose hand is my soul, nothing comes out of him except the truth." And he pointed with his hand towards those who narrated this Hadith, as they were used as evidence by others after them, excluding Al-Walid. And I think it is Al-Walid ibn Abi Al-Walid Al-Shami, for he is Al-Walid ibn Abdullah, and it is known that his father was literate. If that is the case, then Muslim used him as evidence, and the narration from Amir al-Mu'minin Umar ibn al-Khattab has been authenticated, in which he said, "Limit the knowledge with the book." If Al-Walid is the son of Abu al-Walid al-Shami, then he is a condition set by Muslim.  

كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَسْمَعُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأُرِيدُ حِفْظَهُ فَنَهَتْنِي قُرَيْشٌ وَقَالُوا تُكْتَبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَشَرٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الرِّضَاءِ وَالْغَضَبِ؟ قَالَ فَأَمْسَكْتُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اكْتُبْ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا حَقٌّ» وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى فِيهِ رُوَاةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَدِ احْتَجَّا بِهِمْ عَنْ آخِرِهِمْ غَيْرِ الْوَلِيدِ هَذَا وَأَظُنُّهُ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ الشَّامِيُّ فَإِنَّهُ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَقَدْ عُلِمَتْ عَلَى أَبِيهِ الْكَتَبَةُ فَإِنْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَدِ احْتَجَّ مُسْلِمٌ بِهِ وَقَدْ صَحَّتِ الرِّوَايَةُ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَيِّدُوا الْعِلْمَ بِالْكِتَابِ إن كان الوليد هو ابن أبي الوليد الشامي فهو على شرط مسلم  

[Machine] This is a authentic narration from Anas ibn Malik and it has been attributed to him from a reliable source. As for the narration from his saying, it is also correct and has been confirmed to be his statement.  

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ صَحِيحٌ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَقَدْ أُسْنِدَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ غَيْرِ مُعْتَمَدٍ فَأَمَّا الرِّوَايَةُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ» وصح مثله من قول أنس  

[Machine] "He used to say to his sons, 'Record knowledge in writing.' It was narrated by some of the people of Basra from the Ansari, and it was also narrated by a respected elder from the people of Mecca who heard it from Ibn Jurayj."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ لِبَنِيهِ «قَيِّدُوا الْعِلْمَ بِالْكِتَابِ» «أَسْنَدَهُ بَعْضُ الْبَصْرِيِّينَ عَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ وَكَذَلِكَ أَسْنَدَهُ شَيْخُ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ غَيْرَ مُعْتَمَدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Attach importance to knowledge." I asked, "And how should we attach importance to it?" He said, "By writing it down." Ibn al-Mumal is considered weak.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَيِّدُوا الْعِلْمَ» قُلْتُ وَمَا تَقْيِيدُهُ؟ قَالَ «كِتَابَتُهُ» ابن المؤمل ضعيف  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, I said to a man from the Ansar, "Come, let us ask the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , for today they are many.” He said, astonished, "Oh Ibn Abbas, do you think people are in need of you while there are companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among the people?" He said, "So I left that and approached to ask the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and if the narration reached me from a person, I would go to his door, leaning my shawl against it while the wind blew dust on me. Then he would come out and see me, and he would say, 'O cousin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , what brought you? Why didn't you send someone to come to me?' I would say, 'I am more deserving to come to you.'" He said, "So I would ask him about the hadith and this Ansari man lived until he saw me and the people gathered around me to ask me, and he would say, 'This young boy was more intelligent than me.'"  

لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَسْأَلْ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُمُ الْيَوْمَ كَثِيرٌ فَقَالَ وَاعَجَبًا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَتَرَى النَّاسَ يَفْتَقِرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَفِي النَّاسِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ فِيهِمْ قَالَ «فَتَرَكْتُ ذَاكَ وَأَقْبَلْتُ أَسْأَلُ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَبْلُغُنِي الْحَدِيثُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فَآتِي بَابَهُ وَهُوَ قَائِلٌ فَأَتَوَسَّدُ رِدَائِي عَلَى بَابِهِ يَسْفِي الرِّيحُ عَلَيَّ مِنَ التُّرَابِ فَيَخْرُجُ فَيَرَانِي» فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ هَلَّا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ فَآتِيَكَ؟ فَأَقُولُ «لَا أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ آتِيَكَ» قَالَ فَأَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ فَعَاشَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَتَّى رَآنِي وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ حَوْلِي يَسْأَلُونِي فَيَقُولُ «هَذَا الْفَتَى كَانَ أَعْقَلَ مِنِّي»  

People dispersed from around Abu Huraira, and Natil, who was from the Syrians. said to him: O Shaikh, relate (to us) a tradition you have heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Yes. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The first of men (whose case) will be decided on the Day of Judgment will be a man who died as a martyr. He shall be brought (before the Judgment Seat). Allah will make him recount His blessings (i. e. the blessings which He had bestowed upon him) and he will recount them (and admit having enjoyed them in his life). (Then) will Allah say: What did you do (to requite these blessings)? He will say: I fought for Thee until I died as a martyr. Allah will say: You have told a lie. You fought that you might be called a" brave warrior". And you were called so. (Then) orders will be passed against him and he will be dragged with his face downward and cast into Hell. Then will be brought forward a man who acquired knowledge and imparted it (to others) and recited the Qur'an. He will be brought And Allah will make him recount His blessings and he will recount them (and admit having enjoyed them in his lifetime). Then will Allah ask: What did you do (to requite these blessings)? He will say: I acquired knowledge and disseminated it and recited the Qur'an seeking Thy pleasure. Allah will say: You have told a lie. You acquired knowledge so that you might be called" a scholar," and you recited the Qur'an so that it might be said:" He is a Qari" and such has been said. Then orders will be passed against him and he shall be dragged with his face downward and cast into the Fire. Then will be brought a man whom Allah had made abundantly rich and had granted every kind of wealth. He will be brought and Allah will make him recount His blessings and he will recount them and (admit having enjoyed them in his lifetime). Allah will (then) ask: What have you done (to requite these blessings)? He will say: I spent money in every cause in which Thou wished that it should be spent. Allah will say: You are lying. You did (so) that it might be said about (You):" He is a generous fellow" and so it was said. Then will Allah pass orders and he will be dragged with his face downward and thrown into Hell. (Using translation from Muslim 1905a)   

لَهُ نَاتِلٌ أَخُو أَهْلِ الشَّامِ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِّثْنَا مَا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ يُقْضَى فِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَجُلٌ اسْتُشْهِدَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ مَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا؟ قَالَ قَاتَلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِكَ حَتَّى اسْتُشْهِدْتُ قَالَ كَذَبْتَ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يُقَالَ فُلَانٌ جَرِيءٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ فَيُؤْمَرُ بِهِ فَيُسْحَبُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ وَرَجُلٌ تَعَلَّمَ الْعِلْمَ وَقَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ مَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا؟ قَالَ تَعَلَّمْتُ الْعِلْمَ وَقَرَأْتُ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَمِلْتُهُ فِيكَ قَالَ كَذَبْتَ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يُقَالَ فُلَانٌ عَالِمٌ وَفُلَانٌ قَارِئٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ فَأُمِرَ بِهِ فَسُحِبَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْمَالِ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ فَعَرَفَهَا فَقَالَ مَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا؟ قَالَ مَا تَرَكْتُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُنْفِقَ فِيهِ إِلَّا أَنْفَقْتُ فِيهِ لَكَ قَالَ كَذَبْتَ إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يُقَالَ فُلَانٌ جَوَادٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ فَأُمِرَ بِهِ فَسُحِبَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ «»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There are three types of people who are doomed at the time of reckoning: a generous person who is extravagant, a brave person who is reckless, and a knowledgeable person who does not act upon his knowledge."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَةٌ يَهْلِكُونَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ جَوَادٌ وَشُجَاعٌ وَعَالِمٌ «»  

[Machine] Abu Hurairah, if it were not for the fact that Allah had taken a covenant from the People of the Book, I would not have told you about anything. Then he recited, "And [mention] when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], 'You must make it clear to the people and not conceal it.'" [Quran 3:187]  

أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ لَوْلَا مَا أَخَذَ اللَّهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ ثُمَّ تَلَا {وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُونَهُ} [آل عمران 187] «»  

[Machine] Abu Hurayrah used to stand on the side of the pulpit on Fridays, throwing the straps of his sandals on his arms. Then he would grab onto the handle of the pulpit and say, "Abu Al-Qasim (the Prophet Muhammad) said, 'The Messenger of Allah said, 'The truthful, the trustworthy person said.''' And then he would say about some of that, "Woe to the Arabs from an impending evil." When he heard the sound of the door of the prayer area opening for the Imam to come out, he would sit down.  

كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُومُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْمِنْبَرِ فَيَطْرَحُ أَعْقَابَ نَعْلَيْهِ فِي ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقْبِضُ عَلَى رُمَّانَةِ الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ ﷺ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ فِي بَعْضِ ذَلِكَ «وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ» فَإِذَا سَمِعَ حَرَكَةَ بَابِ الْمَقْصُورَةِ بِخُرُوجِ الْإِمَامِ جَلَسَ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "I do not trust anyone of you while reclining on his couch, when something from my commands or prohibitions comes to him and he says, 'We do not know what we found in the Book of Allah, so we followed it.'" Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah has established this chain and it is authentic according to the conditions of both al-Bukhari and Muslim, but they did not include it. As for me, they left it due to the disagreement of the Egyptians regarding this chain according to their conditions and they left it.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ يَأْتِيهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مِمَّا أَمَرْتُ بِهِ أَوْ نَهَيْتُ عَنْهُ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَدْرِي مَا وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ اتَّبَعْنَاهُ «» قَدْ أَقَامَ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ هَذَا الْإِسْنَادَ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَالَّذِي عِنْدِي أَنَّهُمَا تَرَكَاهُ لِاخْتِلَافِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ فِي هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ على شرطهما وتركاه  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I do not know of a man who reclines, and then an affair of my affairs comes to him which I have commanded or forbidden, and he says, "I don't know, this is the Book of Allah and it does not contain it."'"

Note: The English translation of the phrase "ﷺ" is "peace be upon him".  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا أَعْرِفَنَّ الرَّجُلَ مُتَّكِئًا يَأْتِيهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مِمَّا أَمَرْتُ بِهِ أَوْ نَهَيْتُ عَنْهُ فَيَقُولُ مَا نَدْرِي هَذَا هُوَ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَلَيْسَ هَذَا فِيهِ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "And the people around him do not know if any of you receives a matter from my affairs that I have commanded or prohibited, and he is reclining on his couch and says, 'We did not find anything in the Book of Allah that we acted upon, and if it was otherwise, then no.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَالنَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ لَا أَعْرِفَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَأْتِيهِ أَمْرٌ مِنْ أَمْرِي قَدْ أَمَرْتُ بِهِ أَوْ نَهَيْتُ عَنْهُ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ مَا وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَمِلْنَا بِهِ وَإِلَّا فَلَا  

[Machine] He heard Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'di Yakrib Al-Kindi, the companion of the Prophet (pbuh), saying: "The Prophet (pbuh) declared certain things forbidden on the day of Khaybar, including domestic donkeys and others." The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) then said: "Soon, a person from among you will sit on his couch and narrate my hadith, saying, 'Between me and you is the Book of Allah. Whatever we find permissible in it, we declare it permissible, and whatever we find forbidden in it, we declare it forbidden.' Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) forbade only what Allah had forbidden." As for the second hadith, Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ مَعْدِ يكَرِبَ الْكِنْدِيَّ صَاحِبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَقُولُ حَرَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَشْيَاءَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ مِنْهَا الْحِمَارُ الْأَهْلِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ يُحَدَّثُ بِحَدِيثِي فَيَقُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهِ حَلَالًا اسْتَحْلَلْنَاهُ وَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهِ حَرَامًا حَرَمْنَاهُ وَإِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ «وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ الثَّانِي» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] From the tradition of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , when a man said to him, "O Abu Nujayd, tell us about the Quran," Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Are you and your companions reciting the Quran? Were you informed about the prayer and its obligations? Were you informed about the zakat (charity) in terms of gold, camels, cows, and different forms of wealth? However, I have witnessed and you have been absent." Then he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made it obligatory for us in zakat such and such." The man said, "You have revived me, may Allah revive you." Al-Hasan said, "That man did not die until he became one of the scholars of the Muslims, Uqbah ibn Khalid Al-Shanni, from the trustworthy people of Basra and its worshipers. He was an esteemed narrator of hadith whose narrations were compiled, but he did not reach the perfection of the ten merits (top narrators). May peace be upon Muhammad and his family, all of them."  

عَنْ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا نُجَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا بِالْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عِمْرَانُ «أَنْتَ وَأَصْحَابُكَ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَكُنْتَ مُحَدِّثِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ وَمَا فِيهَا وَحُدُودِهَا؟ أَكُنْتَ مُحَدِّثِي عَنِ الزَّكَاةِ فِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْإِبِلِ وَالْبَقَرِ وَأَصْنَافِ الْمَالِ؟ وَلَكِنْ قَدْ شَهِدْتُ وَغِبْتَ أَنْتَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «فَرَضَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الزَّكَاةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا» وَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَحْيَيْتَنِي أَحْيَاكَ اللَّهُ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ فَمَا مَاتَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى صَارَ مِنْ فُقَهَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الشَّنِّيُّ مِنْ ثِقَاتِ الْبَصْرِيِّينَ وَعُبَّادِهِمْ وَهُوَ عَزِيزُ الْحَدِيثِ يُجْمَعُ حَدِيثُهُ فَلَا يَبْلُغُ تَمَامَ الْعَشَرَةِ وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ أَجْمَعِينَعقبة ثقة عابد  

[Machine] "Tauus used to pray two units of prayer after Asr (afternoon prayer), so Ibn Abbas said to him: 'Leave it.' Tauus replied: 'We have only been prohibited from them if they are made to resemble the obligatory prayer before sunset.' Ibn Abbas said: 'Verily, the Prophet ﷺ used to prohibit prayer after Asr, and I do not know if one would be punished for it or rewarded, for Allah Almighty says: 'And it is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair.' (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:36)."  

كَانَ طَاوُسٌ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «اتْرُكُهَا» فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهُمَا أَنْ تَتَّخَذَ سُلَّمًا أَنْ يُوَصِّلَ ذَلِِكَ إِلَى غُرُوب الشَّمْسِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ صَلَاةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ وَمَا أَدْرِي أَيُعَذَّبُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ يُؤْجَرُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ {وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ} [الأحزاب 36]  

[Machine] To Ibn Mas'ud, Abu Darda, and Abu Dharr, "What is this hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? I think they held it back in Madinah until they were able to write it down." Reported by Affan and others from him, meaning from Shu'bah.  

لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَلِأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ وَلِأَبِي ذَرٍّ «مَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَحْسِبُهُ حَبَسَهُمْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى أُصِيبَ» رواه عفان وغيره عنه يعني عن شعبة  

[Machine] Concerning the branch, he mentioned the hadith with its Isnad (chain of narrators) in a similar manner.  

عَنْ شُعْبَةَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , his clothing became wrinkled or disheveled." Then he said, "Or similar to this."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَارْتَعَدَ وَارْتَعَدَتْ ثِيَابُهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا»  

[Machine] A partner praised him in his own way.  

ثنا شَرِيكٌ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Until at the time of nightfall, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'So I looked at him and behold, his shirt buttons were undone, his hair was disheveled and there were marks around his eyes.' Then he said, 'It was like this or higher than this, or close to this, or as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ذَاتَ عَشِيَّةٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَحْلُولٌ أَزْرَارُ قَمِيصِهِ مُنْتَفِخٌ أَوْدَاجُهُ مُغْرَوْرِقَةٌ عَيْنَاهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا أَوْ فَوْقَ ذَا أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ ذَا أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated to me, Abu Shihab narrated to me, and Ali ibn Hamshad al-Adl narrated to me, Abu al-Hasan Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Awdhi narrated to me, Abu al-Rabi'i narrated to me, Abu Shihab narrated to me, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Ma'bad ibn Ka'b ibn Malik who said, "I heard Abu Qatada saying, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, while he was on the pulpit, 'Beware of excessive talking about me. Whoever says about me something that I have not said, let him take his place in Hellfire.' And in the narration of Muhammad ibn 'Ubayd, he narrated to me from Ibn Ka'b and others, from Abu Qatada."  

ثنا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثنا أَبُو شِهَابٍ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذَ الْعَدْلُ ثنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْعَوْذِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ ثنا أَبُو شِهَابٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ «إِيَّاكُمْ وَكَثْرَةَ الْحَدِيثِ عَنِّي فَمَنْ قَالَ عَنِّي فَلَا يَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقًّا وَمَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ» وَفِي حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ كَعْبٍ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ  

[Machine] Tell me something you heard from the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him. He said, "I fear that my tongue may slip into saying something that the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him, did not say. I have heard the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him, say, 'Beware of speaking excessively about me. Whoever intentionally lies about me should prepare his place in the Fire.'"  

حَدِّثْنِي بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَخْشَى أَنْ يَزِلَّ لِسَانِي بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَقُلْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِيَّاكُمْ وَكَثْرَةَ الْحَدِيثِ عَنِّي مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is enough for a person to be sinful by speaking about everything he hears." Muslim mentioned this hadith in the midst of the narrations he mentioned in his sermon in the book, regarding Muhammad ibn Rafee', without using it as evidence in its proper place in the book. Ali ibn Ja'far al-Madaini is trustworthy, and he warned us at the beginning of the book to debate using the statements of trustworthy narrators. A group of Shu'bah's companions transmitted this. Muslim mentioned it in an authentic sermon.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ» «قَدْ ذَكَرَ مُسْلِمٌ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي أَوْسَاطِ الْحِكَايَاتِ الَّتِي ذَكَرَهَا فِي خِطْبَةِ الْكِتَابِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجْهُ مُحْتَجًّا بِهِ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ ثِقَةٌ وَقَدْ نَبَّهْنَا فِي أَوَّلِ الْكِتَابِ عَلَى الِاحْتِجَاجِ بِزَيَادَاتِ الثِّقَاتِ وَقَدْ أَرْسَلَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ شُعْبَةَ» ذكره مسلم في خطبة صحيحة  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It is sufficient for a person to be considered sinful by narrating everything he hears."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ»
