[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon Busrah while she was combing Aisha's hair, and he said, "O Busrah, who is proposing to Umm Kulthum?" She replied, "I heard a man or two men say, 'Where are you all in regards to the leader of the Muslims, Abdur Rahman ibn Awf?'"  

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى بُسْرَةَ وَهِيَ تُمَشِّطُ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ «يَا بُسْرَةُ مَنْ يَخْطُبُ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ؟» قَالَتْ فَسَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا أَوْ رَجُلَيْنِ قَالَ «فَأَيْنَ أَنْتُمْ عَنْ سَيِّدِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ؟»  

[Machine] "Ali, I am the first one who was pleased, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying to you, 'You are trustworthy among the people of the heavens, trustworthy among the people of the earth.'" Abu Al-Ma'aly is Farat ibn Al-Sa'ib, they abandoned him."  

عَلِيٌّ أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ رَضِيَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَكَ «أَنْتَ أَمِينٌ فِي أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ أَمِينٌ فِي أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ» أبو المعلى هو فرات بن السائب تركوه  

[Machine] "To slaughter a sheep, and when we finished from it, the owner said to me, 'Indeed, the commander of the faithful did not act properly by issuing a fatwa for you until he asked the man.' Umar heard some of his words, so Umar hit him with a stone and then he came towards me to hit me. So I said, 'O commander of the faithful, I did not say anything, it was he who said it.' He then left me and said, 'You wanted to kill Haram and commit audacity in fatwa.' Then the commander of the faithful said, 'Indeed, in a person there are ten qualities, nine of them are good and one is bad, and that bad qualities ruins them.' Then he said, 'Beware of the stumbling of youth.'"  

أَنْ أَذْبَحَ شَاةً فَلَمَّا قُمْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ صَاحِبٌ لِي إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَمْ يُحْسِنْ أَنْ يُفْتِيَكَ حَتَّى سَأَلَ الرَّجُلَ فَسَمِعَ عُمَرُ بَعْضَ كَلَامِهِ فَعَلَاهُ عُمَرُ بِالدِّرَّةِ ضَرْبًا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ لِيَضْرِبَنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَقُلْ شَيْئًا إِنَّمَا هُوَ قَالَهُ قَالَ فَتَرَكَنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ الْحَرَامَ وَتَتَعَدَّ بِالْفُتْيَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ «إِنَّ فِي الْإِنْسَانِ عَشْرَةَ أَخْلَاقٍ تِسْعَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ وَوَاحِدٌ سَيِّئٌ وَيُفْسِدُهَا ذَلِكَ السَّيِّئُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِيَّاكَ وَعَثْرَةَ الشَّبَابِ»  

[Machine] Abdul Rahman ibn Awf sold a piece of land that he owned for forty thousand dinars. He divided the money among the Banu Zuhrah, the poor Muslims, the immigrants, and the wives of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . He sent some of that money to Aisha, and she asked, "Who sent this money?" I said, "Abdul Rahman ibn Awf." She then quoted the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "Only the patient ones will succeed you after me. May Allah quench the thirst of Abdul Rahman ibn Awf from the Salsabil fountain in Paradise."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ بَاعَ أَرْضًا لَهُ بِأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفِ دِينَارٍ فَقَسَمَهَا فِي بَنِي زُهْرَةَ وَفُقَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَأَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ بِمَالٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ مَنْ بَعَثَ هَذَا الْمَالَ؟ قُلْتُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ قَالَ وَقَصَّ الْقِصَّةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَحْنُو عَلَيْكُنَّ مِنْ بَعْدِي إِلَّا الصَّابِرُونَ سَقَى اللَّهُ ابْنَ عَوْفٍ مِنْ سَلْسَبِيلِ الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to his wives, "Verily, the one who shows kindness to you after me is the truthful and righteous. O Allah, bless Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf and provide him with a drink from the rivers of Jannah (Paradise)." The hadith is authenticated by Aisha and Umm Salamah, narrated by Aisha and Umm Salamah.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِأَزْوَاجِهِ «إِنَّ الَّذِي يَحْنُو عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْدِي هُوَ الصَّادِقُ الْبَارُّ اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ مِنْ سَلْسَبِيلِ الْجَنَّةِ» فَقَدْ صَحَّ الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عن عائشة وأم سلمة  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that he said, "O Ibn Awf, indeed you are among the rich people, and you will not enter Paradise except with difficulty. So lend to Allah and He will release your feet." He said, "How can I lend to Allah?" He said, "Discharge yourself from what you are in." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, from all of it?" He said, "Yes." So Ibn Awf left while he was preoccupied with that, and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to him and said, "Gabriel came to me and said, 'Order Ibn Awf to host guests, feed the poor, give charity to the beggars, and start with those who depend on him. For when he does that, it will be a means of purification for him.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «يَا ابْنَ عَوْفٍ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ وَلَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا زَحْفًا فَأَقْرِضِ اللَّهَ يُطْلِقْ قَدَمَيْكَ» قَالَ فَمَا أُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَالَ «تَتَبَرَّأُ مِمَّا أَنْتَ فِيهِ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ كُلِّهِ أَجْمَعَ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَخَرَجَ ابْنُ عَوْفٍ وَهُوَ يَهُمَّ بِذَلِكَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ مُرِ ابْنَ عَوْفٍ فَلْيُضِفِ الضَّيْفَ وَلْيُطْعِمِ الْمِسْكِينَ وَلْيُعْطِ السَّائِلَ وَلْيَبْدَأْ بِمَنْ يَعُولُ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ تَزْكِيَةَ مَا هُوَ فِيهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of you is the best to your family after me." Quraysh said, Muhammad ibn Amr narrated to me from Abu Salama ibn Abdur Rahman that his father left a will to the wives of the believers and left them a garden worth forty thousand dinars.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُكُمْ خَيْرُكُمْ لِأَهْلِي مِنْ بَعْدِي» قَالَ قُرَيْشٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ «أَنَّ أَبَاهُ وَصَّى لِأُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِحَدِيقَةٍ بِيعَتْ بَعْدَهُ بِأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ»  

[Machine] The translation is as follows: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Your matter is of concern to me after my death and only the patient ones will be able to endure it.' Then she (Aisha, the Prophet's wife) said, 'May Allah quench your thirst with water from the Salisabil of Paradise.' Abdul Rahman bin Awf had already given them (Aisha and Hafsa) a portion of his wealth, so they sold it for forty thousand (dirhams). Neither Aisha nor Hafsa needed to go to him."  

لِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِي «أَمْرُكُنَّ مِمَّا يُهِمُّنِي بَعْدِي وَلَنْ يَصْبِرَ عَلَيْكُنَّ إِلَّا الصَّابِرُونَ» ثُمَّ قَالَتْ فَسَقَى اللَّهُ أَبَاكَ مِنْ سَلْسَبِيلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ قَدْ وَصَلَهُنَّ بِمَالٍ فَبِيعَ بِأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًاصخر بن عبد الله صدوق لم يخرجا له  

[Machine] I narrate on the authority of Musa ibn Awn ibn Abdullah ibn Awn, who narrated from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud ibn Kahil ibn Habib ibn Tamir ibn Makhzum ibn Sahilah ibn Kahil ibn Al-Harith ibn Taym ibn Saad ibn Hudhayl ibn Mudrikah ibn Ilyas ibn Mudar ibn Nizar.  

أَمْلى عَلَيَّ مُوسَى بْنِ عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَوْنِ «عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ كَاهِلِ بْنِ حَبِيبِ بْنِ تَامِرِ بْنِ مَخْزُومِ بْنِ صَاهِلَةَ بْنِ كَاهِلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ تَيْمِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ هُذَيْلِ بْنِ مُدْرِكَةَ بْنِ إِلْيَاسَ بْنِ مُضَرَ بْنِ نِزَارٍ»  

[Machine] "Abdullah ibn Mas'ud ibn al-Harith ibn Shamkh ibn Makhzum ibn Kahil ibn al-Harith ibn Saad ibn Hudhayl from the allies of Bani Zuhrah." Al-Waqidi has disagreed with them regarding this lineage.  

«عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ شَمْخِ بْنِ مَخْزُومِ بْنِ كَاهِلِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ هُذَيْلِ مِنْ حُلَفَاءِ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ» قَدْ خَالَفَهُمَا الْوَاقِدِيُّ فِي هَذَا النَّسَبِ  

[Machine] Ammar ibn Yasir, may Allah send blessings upon him, was buried in Al-Baqi' at night. He was sixty-two years old.  

أَنَّ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ صُلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ وَدُفِنَ بِالْبَقِيعِ لَيْلًا وَهُوَ ابْنُ بِضْعٍ وَسِتِّينَ سَنَةً»  

[Machine] "That the Prophet (pbuh) called him Abu Abdullah but he did not have any children."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَنَّاهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ لَهُ»  

[Machine] The mother of Abdullah ibn Mas'ood is Umm Abd, the daughter of Abd ibn Al-Harith ibn Zuhrah.  

«أُمُّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أُمُّ عَبْدٍ بِنْتُ عَبْدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ»  

[Machine] I heard Yahya bin Ma'in saying: The kunya of Abdullah bin Masud is Abu Abdul Rahman.  

سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ يَقُولُ كُنْيَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ  

[Machine] And it is said that she was from the continent.  

وَيُقَالُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِنَ الْقَارَةِ  

[Machine] "I have seen myself as the sixth of sixty [Muslims] on earth, none of whom are other than us." It is a sound chain of transmission and it hasn't been reported correctly.  

«لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَادِسَ سِتَّةٍ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مُسْلِمٌ غَيْرَنَا» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ صحيح  

[Machine] The translation of the given text in Arabic into English is:

"And among those who migrated to Abyssinia before the departure of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib and Abdullah ibn Mas'ud was Urwah."  

عُرْوَةُ «وَمِمَّنْ هَاجَرَ إِلَى الْحَبَشَةِ الْهِجْرَةَ الْأُولَى قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ»  

[Machine] "Regarding Al-Dhahabi in summarizing"  

عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Abdullah bin Mas'ood died in the city, and Zubayr bin Al-Awwam prayed on him.  

«مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ»  

[Machine] "Between Zubayr ibn al-Awwam and Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, the reliable chain of narration of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and it has been authenticated."  

«آخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ صحيح  

[Machine] Al-Dhahabi in summarization.  

عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Abdullah used to visit him every year, but he would not speak about the Prophet ﷺ. So one day he narrated a hadith from the Prophet ﷺ, and it saddened him, causing sweat to trickle down his forehead, and he said, "Something similar to this or close to it."  

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ السَّنَةُ لَا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَدَّثَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحَدِيثٍ فَعَلَتْهُ كَآبَةٌ وَجَعَلَ الْعَرَقُ يَتَحَادَرُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ وَيَقُولُ «نَحْوَ هَذَا أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْ هَذَا»  

"My brother and I arrived from Yemen, and we did not see a period except that we thought 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud was a man from the people of the house of the Prophet ﷺ, due to what we would see of him entering, and his mother's entering, upon the Prophet ﷺ." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3806)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا مُوسَى يَقُولُ «قَدِمْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَمَكَثْنَا حِينًا مَا نَرَى إِلَّا أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِمَّا نَرَى مِنْ دُخُولِهِ وَدُخُولِ أُمِّهِ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] "That the son of the mother of Abd is among the closest to them and a means to Allah on the Day of Judgment."  

أَنَّ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ مِنْ أَقْرَبِهِمْ وَسِيلَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] "When Abdullah rested his eyes, I would hear a sound from him, like the buzzing sound of bees, until dawn." Al-Dhahabi did not mention it in his summary.  

«كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِذَا هَدَأَتِ الْعُيُونُ سَمِعْتُ لَهُ دَوِيًّا كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "Abdullah used to give us a sermon every Thursday standing on his feet, and he would speak with words that we eagerly desired to hear." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about summarizing it.  

«كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَخْطُبُنَا كُلَّ خَمِيسٍ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ فَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِكَلِمَاتٍ وَنَحْنُ نَشْتَهِي أَنْ يَزِيدَ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "I read in the book of 'Umar to the people of Yemen and Kufa, 'Afterwards, you are the head of the Arabs and its skull, and you are my arrow that I shoot if anything comes from here and here. I have sent to you Abdullah, chosen him for you and preferred you over myself.'" Al-Dhahabi did not mention it in the summary."  

قَرَأْتُ فِي كِتَابِ عُمَرَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ وَالْكُوفَةِ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَأَنْتُمْ رَأْسُ الْعَرَبِ وَجُمْجُمَتُهَا وَأَنْتُمْ سَهْمِي الَّذِي أَرْمِي بِهِ إِنْ جَاءَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ هَا هُنَا وَهَا هُنَا وَقَدْ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَاخْتَرْتُهُ لَكُمْ وآثَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "I say about him what they have said, that he is the best of those who have recited the Quran and has permitted what is lawful and forbidden what is forbidden. He is a scholar in religion and knowledgeable about the Sunnah." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about him in the summary.  

«أَقُولُ فِيهِ مِثْلَ مَا قَالُوا وَأَفْضَلُ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ فَقِيهٌ فِي الدِّينِ عَالِمٌ بِالسُّنَّةِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Abu Musa said, "If you say that, then indeed he used to hear when we did not hear and enter when we did not enter." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this in his summary.  

أَبُو مُوسَى «إِنْ تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ حِينَ لَا نَسْمَعُ وَيَدْخُلُ حِينَ لَا نَدْخُلُ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] Indeed, Allah has forgiven me one of my sins, and I have been called as Abdullah bin Rawthah. Alla of it is authentic.  

أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَفَرَ لِي ذَنْبًا مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَإِنِّي دُعِيتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوْثَةَ» كلها صحاح  

[Machine] "I traveled to Sham (Levant) and performed two units of prayer, then I said: "O Allah, facilitate for me a righteous companion." I met a group of people, so I sat down, and suddenly, someone came and sat beside me. I asked, 'Who is this?' He replied, 'Abu Darda.' I said, 'Verily, I prayed to Allah to facilitate for me a righteous companion, and He facilitated for me.' He asked, 'Where are you from?' I said, 'From the people of Kufa.' He said, 'Do you not have with you the son of Umm Abdu, the companion of the two sandals, the pillow, and the pitcher, and among you the one whom Allah protected from Satan on the tongue of His Prophet ﷺ , and among you is the companion of the secret of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that no one else knows?'"  

قَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ فَصَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ «اللَّهُمَّ يَسِّرْ لِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا» فَلَقِيتُ قَوْمًا فَجَلَسْتُ فَإِذَا بِوَاحِدٍ جَاءَ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَقُلْتُ مَنْ ذَا؟ قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقُلْتُ «إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُيَسِّرَ لِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا فَيَسَّرَ لِي» فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ «أَوَلَيْسَ عِنْدَكُمُ ابْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ صَاحِبُ النَّعْلَيْنِ وَالْوِسَادَةِ وَالْمِطْهَرَةِ وَفِيكُمُ الَّذِي أَجَارَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ وَفِيكُمْ صَاحِبُ سِرِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الَّذِي لَا يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُهُ؟»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "There are ten in Paradise," and he mentioned Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubair, Abdur Rahman ibn Awf, Saad ibn Abi Waqqas, Saeed ibn Zaid, and Abdullah ibn Masood.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَشْرَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيًّا وَطَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَسَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ  

[Machine] The translation of the given phrase in English is:

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, they both are heavier in the scale than Uhud.'"  

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَهُمَا أَثْقَلُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ مِنْ أُحُدٍ»  

[Machine] I was with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and with him was Abu Bakr and whoever Allah willed from his companions. We passed by Abdullah bin Mas'ud while he was praying. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who is this?" It was said, "It is Abdullah bin Mas'ud." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Abdullah recites the Quran with attentiveness as it was revealed." Abdullah praised and glorified his Lord and performed the best praise for his Lord. Then, he asked the Prophet ﷺ and presented the most excellent question, a question asked by a servant to his Lord. Then, he said, "O Allah, I ask You for a faith that does not falter and a bliss that never ends, and to accompany Muhammad ﷺ in the highest ranks of Paradise, in Your Gardens of everlasting bliss." The Prophet ﷺ used to say, "Ask, and you shall be granted. Ask, and you shall be granted" twice. I quickly ran to give him the good news, but I found that Abu Bakr had already informed him, as he was always ahead in doing good.  

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَمَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَمَرَرْنَا بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» فَقِيلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ» فَأَثْنَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَلَى رَبِّهِ وَحَمِدَهُ فَأَحْسَنَ فِي حَمْدِهِ عَلَى رَبِّهِ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَأَجْمَلَ الْمَسْأَلَةَ وَسَأَلَهُ كَأَحْسَنِ مَسْأَلَةٍ سَأَلَهَا عَبْدٌ رَبَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَانًا لَا يَرْتَدُّ وَنَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفُذُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ فِي جِنَانِكَ جِنَانِ الْخُلْدِ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سَلْ تُعْطَ سَلْ تُعْطَ» مَرَّتَيْنِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ لِأُبَشِّرَهُ فَوَجَدْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي وَكَانَ سَبَّاقًا بِالْخَيْرِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am pleased for my ummah (community) with what the son of Umm Abd is pleased with." This is an authentic chain according to the conditions of the two scholars, and they did not exclude it, but it has a weakness in the narration of Sufyan Ath-Thawri. So Muhammad ibn Musa ibn Imran Al-Faqih informed us, narrating from Ibrahim ibn Abi Talib, who narrated from Abu Kurayb, who narrated from Waki', who narrated from Sufyan. As for the hadith of Israel, it is a fabricated one.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَضِيتُ لِأُمَّتِي مَا رَضِيَ لَهَا ابْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ» هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ وَلَهُ عِلَّةٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ فَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْفَقِيهُ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ إِسْرَائِيلَمرسل  

[Machine] The translation of the given phrase is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I am pleased for my Ummah (followers) with what the son of a slave woman is pleased for her.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «رَضِيتُ لِأُمَّتِي مَا رَضِيَ لَهَا ابْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If I were to appoint anyone to a position of authority without consulting (the believers), I would have appointed Ibn Umm ʿAbd (ʿAbdullah bin Masʿood).ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 739)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ كُنْتُ مُسْتَخْلِفًا أَحَدًا مِنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ لَاسْتَخْلَفْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ»  

Abu Bakr and 'Umar gave him the glad tidings that the Messenger of Allah had said: "Whoever would like to recite the Qur'an as fresh as when it was revealed, let him recite it like Ibn Umm 'Abd.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 138)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ»  

[Machine] I was sitting with Umar when a thin man came to him. Umar looked at him and his face lit up, then he said, "How filled with knowledge he is! How filled with knowledge he is!" referring to Abdullah ibn Mas'ood.  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ نحيفٌ فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَتَهَلَّلُ وَجْهُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «كَيْفَ مُلِئَ عِلْمًا؟ كَيْفَ مُلِئَ عِلْمًا» يَعْنِي عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ  

[Machine] Inform us about the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "Tell us about Abdullah ibn Mas'ud." He said, "He had knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah, then he stopped and considered that sufficient." He mentioned the rest of the hadith, "It is authentic according to the conditions of the two Sheikhs (referring to Imam al-Bukhari and Imam Muslim) and they did not exclude it." According to the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim.  

أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «عَنْ أَيُّهُمْ؟» قَالَ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ «عَلِمَ الْكِتَابَ وَالسُّنَةَ ثُمَّ انْتَهَى وَكَفَى بِهِ» وَذِكْرُ بَاقِي الْحَدِيثِ «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» على شرط البخاري ومسلم  

[Machine] "I and Ibn Masood stayed in five quarters of the Quraysh. Quraysh said to the Prophet ﷺ , 'If you expelled these people from you, we would sit with you and keep these people away from us.' Then Allah revealed, 'Do not expel those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, seeking His countenance. Not upon you is anything of their account, and not upon them is anything of your account. So were you to expel them, you would [then] be of the wrongdoers.' [Al-An'am: 52] Until His saying, 'so be grateful to Me and to your parents.' [Al-An'am: 53]."  

نَزَلَتْ فِي خَمْسٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَنَا وَابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فِيهِمْ فَقَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَوْ طَرَدْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ عَنْكَ جَالَسْنَاكَ تُدْنِي هَؤُلَاءِ دُونَنَا فَنَزَلَتْ {وَلَا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ} [الأنعام 52] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {بِالشَّاكِرِينَ} [الأنعام 53]  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to Abdullah ibn Mas'ood, "Read." Abdullah replied, "I can only recite what has been revealed to me." The Prophet said, "I want to hear it from someone else." So Abdullah started reciting Surah An-Nisa' until he reached the verse, "So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad] against these [people] as a witness?" (Quran 4:41) At this point, the Prophet started pondering and stopped Abdullah. The Prophet said to him, "Continue." Abdullah praised Allah in his first words, thanked and glorified Him, and sent blessings upon the Prophet. He then gave testimony to the truth and said, "We are content with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and with what pleases Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet replied, "I am content with what pleases you, O son of Umm Abd."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ «اقْرَأْ» قَالَ أَقْرَأُ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ «إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي» قَالَ فَافْتَتَحَ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} [النساء 41] فَاسْتَعْبَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَفَّ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَكَلَّمْ» فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فِي أَوَّلِ كَلَامِهِ وَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ وَصَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَشَهِدَ شَهَادَةَ الْحَقِّ وَقَالَ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رِبًا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دَيْنًا وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمْ مَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَضِيتُ لَكُمْ مَا رَضِيَ لَكُمُ ابْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ»  

[Machine] "He was a brother who mentioned the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, but he did not mention Ibn Mas'ood. So I said to him, 'I see that you do not mention Ibn Mas'ood.' He said, 'That man is someone whom I do not prefer anyone over.'"  

كَانَ شَقِيقٌ يَذْكُرُ صَحَابَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَرَاكَ لَا تَذْكُرُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ «ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ لَا أُفَضِّلُ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدًا»  

[Machine] "Abdullah used to resemble the Prophet ﷺ in his guidance, behavior, and appearance." Ibrahim said, "Alqamah used to resemble Abdullah."  

«كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَشَبَّهُ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي هَدْيِهِ وَدَلِّهِ وَسَمْتِهِ» قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ «وَكَانَ عَلْقَمَةُ يَشَبَّهُ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] "The day seemed long to me, so I remembered who I was speaking to. He said, 'And then he started telling me about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I was telling him too. He then began telling me and said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'The one who is asleep during a time of turmoil is better than the one who lies down, and the one who lies down is better than the one who sits, and the one who sits is better than the one who stands, and the one who stands is better than the one who walks, and the one who walks is better than the one who rides; their killings are all in the fire.'' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, when will that be?' He said, 'That will be during the times of turmoil.' I said, 'And when are the times of turmoil?' He said, 'When a person cannot trust their companion.' I said, 'So, what do you command me to do if I live to see that time?' He said, 'Restrain yourself, your hands, and enter your home.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what if someone enters my home?' He said, 'Then enter your masjid and perform prayers in this manner,' or he clutched his right hand onto his left forearm and said, 'My Lord is Allah,' until you die on that.' Al-Dhahabi did not mention what followed this in his summary."  

طَالَ عَلَيَّ النَّهَارُ فَتَذَكَّرْتُ مَنْ أَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأُحَدِّثُهُ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنِي فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ النَّائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُضْطَجِعِ وَالْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِ وَالْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ الرَّاكِبِ قَتْلَاهَا كُلُّهَا فِي النَّارِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَتَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «ذَلِكَ أَيَّامَ الْهَرْجِ» قُلْتُ وَمَتَى أَيَّامُ الْهَرْجِ؟ قَالَ «حِينَ لَا يَأْمَنُ الرَّجُلُ جَلِيسَهُ» قُلْتُ فَبِمَ تَأْمُرُنِي إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانَ؟ قَالَ «اكْفُفْ نَفْسَكَ وَيَدَكَ وَادْخُلْ دَارَكَ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ دَارِي؟ قَالَ «فَادْخُلْ بَيْتَكَ» قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ فَادْخُلْ مَسْجِدَكَ فَاصْنَعْ هَكَذَا أَوْ قَبَضَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى الْكُوعِ وَقُلْ رَبِّي اللَّهُ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] It was said to Al-Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib, "Which one of you is older, you or the Prophet ﷺ?" He replied, "He is older than me, and I was born before him."  

قِيلَ لِلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَيُّمَا أَكْبَرُ أَنْتَ أَمِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ «هُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي وَأَنَا وُلِدْتُ قَبْلَهُ»  

[Machine] "Al-Abbas was three years younger than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He came to my mother and was told that Amina had given birth to a boy. She took me out by the hand in the morning, and we entered upon her. It was as if I were looking at him sucking on his toes in his cradle. The women started telling me and saying, 'Kiss your brother.' Al-Abbas passed away at the age of forty-four, when he was eighty-eight years old."  

«كَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ أَسَنَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ» أُتِيَ إِلَى أُمِّي فَقِيلَ لَهَا وَلَدَتْ آمِنَةُ غُلَامًا فَخَرَجَتْ بِي حِينَ أَصْبَحْتُ آخِذَةً بِيَدِي حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ يَمْصَعُ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي عَرْصَتِهِ وَجَعَلَ النِّسَاءُ يُحَدِّثْنَنِي وَيَقُلْنَ قَبِّلْ أَخَاكَ قَالَ وَمَاتَ الْعَبَّاسُ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانٍ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً  

[Machine] That Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib bin Hashim bin Abd Manaf is a cousin of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. His mother is Nuteila bint Khabbab bin Kulayb bin Malik bin Amr bin Amr bin Zaid bin Manat bin Amir Al-Khazrajiya. Abbas was also known as Abu Al-Fadl. Al-Fadl was his eldest son. Abbas was three years older than Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Abbas witnessed the conquests of Mecca, Hunayn, Taif, and Tabuk with Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He stayed with him on the day of Hunayn with his family when people abandoned him.  

أَنَّ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ هَاشِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُمُّهُ نُتَيْلَةُ بِنْتُ خَبَّابِ بْنِ كُلَيْبِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ زَيْدِ مَنَاةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْخَزْرَجِيِّةُ وَكَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ يُكَنَّى أَبَا الْفَضْلِ وَكَانَ الْفَضْلُ أَكْبَرَ مَنْ وَلَدِهِ وَكَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ وَشَهِدَ الْعَبَّاسُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتْحَ مَكَّةَ وَحُنَيْنًا وَالطَّائِفَ وَتَبُوكَ وَمَكَثَ مَعَهُ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ حِينَ انْكَشَفَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ  

[Machine] "Umm al-Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib is Nuteila, the daughter of Khabbab ibn Kulayb ibn Malik ibn Amr ibn Amer ibn al-Namir ibn Qasit. Abbas was born three years before the Year of the Elephant."  

«أُمُّ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ نُتَيْلَةُ بِنْتُ خَبَّابِ بْنِ كُلَيْبِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ النَّمِرِ بْنِ قَاسِطٍ وُلِدَ الْعَبَّاسُ قَبْلَ الْفِيلِ بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ»  

[Machine] Al-Abbas freed seventy slaves upon his death.  

«أَعْتَقَ الْعَبَّاسُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ سَبْعِينَ مَمْلُوكًا»
