The Prophet ﷺ said, "None should say that I am better than Yunus bin Matta." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3416)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَنْبَغِي لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do not praise me as the Christians praised 'Eesa ibn Maryam عليه السلام. I am no more than a slave, so say: His slave and His Messenger.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 164)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُطْرُونِي كَمَا أَطْرَتِ النَّصَارَى عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا عَبْدٌ فَقُولُوا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ»  

[Machine] "To the Prophet, ﷺ , our best and the son of our best, and to our master and the son of our master. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'O people, speak with your words and do not let Satan provoke you. I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger.'"  

لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَا خَيْرَنَا وَابْنَ خَيْرِنَا وَيَا سَيِّدَنَا وَابْنَ سَيِّدِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا بِقَوْلِكُمْ وَلَا يَسْتَفِزَّنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ»  

The son of the uncle of your Prophet ﷺ, i. e. Ibn Abbas, reported Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: It is not meet for a servant that he should say: I am better than Yunus b. Matta (and this Matta) is the name of his father. (Using translation from Muslim 2377)   

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَا يَنْبَغِي لِعَبْدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ مَتَّى» نَسَبَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah chose Kinanah from the offspring of Isma'il, and He chose Quraysh from Kinanah, and He chose Banu Hashim from Quraysh, and He chose me from Banu Hashim. So I am the leader of the children of Adam, not out of pride, and I am the first for whom the earth will split open, and I am the first intercessor and the first to be granted intercession."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى كِنَانَةَ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَاصْطَفَى قُرَيْشًا مِنْ كِنَانَةَ وَاصْطَفَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَاصْطَفَانِي مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَأَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَلَا فَخْرَ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الْأَرْضُ وَأَوَّلُ شَافِعٍ وَأَوَّلُ مُشَفَّعٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No prophet was believed in as I have been believed in. Indeed, among the prophets, there was none but a single man from his nation believed in him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا صُدِّقَ نَبِيٌّ مَا صُدِّقْتُ إِنَّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مَنْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ»  

"Abdullah bin Umar came to me when I had stopped beneath a large tree on the way to Makkah. He said: 'Why did you stop beneath this tree?' I said: 'Because of its shade.' Abdullah said: 'The Messenger of Allah said: If you are between the two mountains of Mina - and he pointed with his hand toward the east - there is a valley there called As-Surrabah according to the narration of Al-Harith: Called As-Surar - in which there is large tree beneath which seventy prophets were born." (Daif) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2995)   

مَا أَنْزَلَكَ تَحْتَ هَذِهِ السَّرْحَةِ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَرَدْتُ ظِلَّهَا فَقَالَ هَلْ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا مَا أَنْزَلَنِي غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا كُنْتَ بَيْنَ الْأَخْشَبَيْنِ مِنْ مِنًى وَنَفَخَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَإِنَّ هُنَاكَ وَادِيًا يُقَالُ لَهُ السُّرَرُ بِهِ شَجَرَةٌ سُرَّ تَحْتَهَا سَبْعُونَ نَبِيًّا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Those who came before you were destroyed due to their excessive questioning and disagreement with their prophets. Do not ask me about anything except that I inform you about it." So, Abdullah bin Hudhafah bin Qays As-Sahmi stood up and asked, "Who is my father, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Your father is Hudhafah." He then returned to his mother and she said to him, "What compelled you to do this? We were people of ignorance and engaged in evil actions." He said, "I would not have asked until I knew who my father was." And there was some joking in it.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ سُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِهِ» فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ السَّهْمِيُّ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ» فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أُمِّهِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الَّذِي صَنَعْتَ؟ إِنَّا كُنَّا أَهْلَ جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَأَعْمَالٍ قَبِيحَةٍ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَدَعَ حَتَّى أَعْرِفَ مَنْ كَانَ أَبِي مِنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ وَكَانَ فِيهِ دُعَابَةٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Jews are the ones who have earned Allah's anger, and the Christians are the ones who have gone astray."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمَغْضُوبُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْيَهُودُ وَالضَّالُّونَ النَّصَارَى»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The Jews were split up into seventy-one or seventy-two sects; and the Christians were split up into seventy one or seventy-two sects; and my community will be split up into seventy-three sects. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4596)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «افْتَرَقَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلَى إِحْدَى وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً وَافْتَرَقَتِ النَّصَارَى عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً وَتَفْتَرِقُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Beware of oppression, for verily oppression is darkness on the Day of Judgment. And beware of indecency, for verily Allah does not love indecent and immoral actions. And beware of stinginess, for stinginess has led the nations before you to shed blood, sever ties, and make permissible what is forbidden."  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظُّلْمَ فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ هُوَ الظُّلُمَاتُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْفُحْشَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَاحِشَ وَالْمُتَفَحِّشَ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ فَإِنَّ الشُّحَّ قَدْ دَعَا مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَسَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَقَطَعُوا أَرْحَامَهُمْ وَاسْتَحَلُّوا مَحَارِمَهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Israelites were governed by prophets. Whenever a prophet died, another prophet succeeded him. There will be no prophet after me." They asked, "So what will happen after you?" He replied, "There will be leaders, and there will be many of them." They asked, "What do you command us, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Fulfill your allegiance to the first leader, and then the first, and give them what is their right, for indeed Allah will ask them about what is yours."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ تَسُوسُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلَّمَا مَاتَ نَبِيٌّ قَامَ نَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَعْدِي نَبِيٌّ» قَالُوا فَمَا يَكُونُ بَعْدَكَ؟ قَالَ «أُمَرَاءُ وَيَكْثُرُونَ» قَالُوا مَا تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَوْفُوا بِبَيْعَةِ الْأَوَّلِ فَالْأَوَّلِ وَأَدُّوا إِلَيْهِمُ الَّذِي لَهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَنِ الَّذِي لَكُمْ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to Najran and said to me, 'O people of Najran, do you not recite this verse: "O sister of Harun, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste" and you are already aware of what happened between Musa and Isa?' So, I did not know how to respond to them until I arrived in Madinah to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I mentioned it to him, and he said to me, 'Why did you not inform them that they were called by the names of prophets and righteous people before them?'"  

بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى نَجْرَانَ فَقَالَ لِي أَهْلُ نَجْرَانَ أَلَسْتُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {يَا أُخْتَ هَارُونَ مَا كَانَ أَبُوكِ امْرَأَ سُوءٍ وَمَا كَانَتْ أُمُّكِ بَغِيَّا} وَقَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ مَا بَيْنَ مُوسَى وَعِيسَى؟ فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لِي «أَفَلَا أَخْبَرْتَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَمُّونَ بِالْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَهُمْ؟ »  

This is what Abu Huraira reported to us from Messenger of Allah ﷺ and in this connection he narrated some of the ahadith and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It was said to people of Israel: Enter this land saying Hitta (Remove Thou from us the burden of our sins), whereupon We would forgive you your sins, but they twisted (this statement) and entered the gate dragging upon their breech and said: The" grain in the ear." (Using translation from Muslim 3015)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قِيلَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ {ادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ} نَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطَايَاكُمْ فَبَدَّلُوا فَدَخَلُوا الْبَابَ يَزْحَفُونَ عَلَى أَسْتَاهِهِمْ وَقَالُوا حَبَّةٌ فِي شَعْرَةٍ»  

[Machine] "May God curse Fulan (name) who sells alcohol. By God, he has indeed heard the saying of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , 'It is prohibited for them to consume fats and then sell them.'"  

قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ فُلَانًا يَبِيعُ الْخَمْرَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَمِعَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّحُومُ أَنْ يَأْكُلُوهَا ثُمَّ بَاعُوهَا»  

‘Umar was told ­and on one occasion he said: Umar heard that Samurah was selling alcohol and he said: May Allah destroy Samurah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿMay Allah curse the Jews, He forbade animal fat to them, so they rendered it and sold it.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 170)   

عُمَرُ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ سَمُرَةَ أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّحُومُ فَجَمَلُوهَا فَبَاعُوهَا»  

When he was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a Jew was also with him, a funeral passed by him. He (the Jew) asked (Him): Muhammad, does this funeral speak? The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah has more knowledge. The Jew said: It speaks. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whatever the people of the Book tell you, do not verify them, nor falsify them, but say: We believe in Allah and His Apostle. If it is false, do not confirm it, and if it is right, do not falsify it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3644)   

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَكَلَّمَ هَذِهِ الْجِنَازَةُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ» فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهَا تَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَلَا تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ وَلَا تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ وَقَالُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ حَقًّا لَمْ تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ بَاطِلًا لَمْ تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ» وَقَالَ «قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ لَقَدْ أُوتُوا عِلْمًا»  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ said: "A nation from the Children of Israel was lost, and no one knows what they did or sees them except for the mouse. If you find camel milk, they do not drink it, and if you find sheep milk, they drink it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «أَنَّ أُمَّةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فُقِدَتْ لَا يُدْرَى مَا فَعَلَتْ وَلَا أُرَاهَا إِلَّا الْفَأْرَ أَلَا تَرَاهَا إِذَا وَجَدْتَ أَلْبَانَ الْإِبِلِ لَمْ تَشْرَبْهُ وَإِذَا وَجَدْتَ أَلْبَانَ الْغَنَمِ شَرِبَتْهُ»  

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer, he would sit in his place of prayer until the sun rose. They would sit and talk about the matters of the pre-Islamic era and laugh and smile."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ جَلَسَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ وَكَانُوا يَجْلِسُونَ فَيَتَحَدَّثُونَ وَيَأْخُذُونَ فِي أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَيَضْحَكُونَ وَيَتَبَسَّمُ ﷺ»  

I saw 'Amr b. 'Amir al-Khuzili dragging his intestines in fire and he was the first who devoted animals to deity. (Using translation from Muslim 2856b)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «رَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْخُزَاعِيَّ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَةً فِي النَّارِ وَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَ»  

[Machine] "It was not narrated during the time of the Prophet ﷺ , nor during the time of Abu Bakr, nor during the time of Umar, nor during the time of Uthman. Rather, the stories were narrated during the time of turmoil."  

«لَمْ يُقَصَّ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَا أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَلَا عُمَرَ وَلَا عُثْمَانَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ الْقَصَصُ زَمَنَ الْفِتْنَةِ»  

Ibn 'Abbas was asked about this Ayah: Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this except to be kind for my kinship with you (42:23)." So Sa'eed bin Jubair said: 'To be kind to the family of Muhammad.' Ibn 'Abbas replied: 'You know that there was no family of the Quraish except that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had some relatives among them.' He said: 'Except that you should uphold ties of kinship that exist between me and you.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3251)  

عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى} فَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ قُرْبَى مُحَمَّدٍ؟ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَجِلْتَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَطْنٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ فِيهِمْ قَرَابَةٌ فَقَالَ «إِلَّا أَنْ تَصِلُوا مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ مِنَ الْقَرَابَةِ»  

People are the followers of Quraish in good as well as evil (i. e. in the customs of Islamic as well as pre-Islamic times). (Using translation from Muslim 1819)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, "The Ansar are forgiving and patient, and indeed the people follow the Quraish in this matter. Their believers are followed by their believers, and their sinful ones are followed by their sinful ones."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْأَنْصَارُ أَعِفَّةٌ صُبُرٌ وَإِنَّ النَّاسَ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مُؤْمِنُهُمْ تَبَعُ مُؤْمِنِهِمْ وَفَاجِرُهُمْ تَبَعُ فَاجِرِهِمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The strength of two men from outside Quraysh is equivalent to one man from Quraysh."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لِلْقُرَشِيِّ قُوَّةُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ قُرَيْشٍ»  

The Caliphate will remain among the Quraish even if only two persons are left (on the earth), (Using translation from Muslim 1820)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ مَا بَقِيَ فِي النَّاسِ اثْنَانِ»  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The women of the Quraish are good amongst the womenfolk. They ride camels and show affection to their children and zealously guard the wealth of their husbands. Abu Huraira said at the end of this narration that Mary, the daughter of Imran, never rode the camel. (Using translation from Muslim 2527c)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نِسَاءُ قُرَيْشٍ خَيْرُ نِسَاءٍ رَكِبْنَ الْإِبِلَ أَحْنَاهُ عَلَى طِفْلٍ وَأَرْعَاهُ عَلَى زَوْجٍ فِي ذَاتِ يَدِهِ» قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى أَثَرِ ذَلِكَ «وَلَمْ تَرْكَبْ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ بَعِيرًا قَطُّ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ gave a sermon to Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib, and she said, "I have grown old and I have children." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best women who rode camels are the women of the Quraysh. They used to be the most affectionate towards their children when they were young and the most caring towards their husbands. No woman, like Maryam bint 'Imran, has ever ridden a camel."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَطَبَ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي قَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَلِي عِيَالٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ نِسَاءٍ رَكِبْنَ الْإِبِلَ نِسَاءُ قُرَيْشٍ أَحْنَاهُ عَلَى وَلَدِهِ فِي صِغَرِهِ وَأَرْعَاهُ عَلَى زَوْجٍ فِي ذَاتِ يَدِهِ وَلَمْ تَرْكَبْ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ بَعِيرًا قَطُّ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever humiliates the Quraysh, Allah will humiliate him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَهَانَ قُرَيْشًا أَهَانَهُ اللَّهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Abu Talib when death came to him, "Say: There is no god but Allah, and I will intercede for you with it on the Day of Resurrection." Abu Talib said, "O son of my brother, if it were not for fear of the Quraysh's reproach, I would have opened my eyes to it." Then the verse was revealed: "Indeed, you do not guide whom you like."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِأَبِي طَالِبٍ حِينَ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ «قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَشْفَعْ لَكَ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي لَوْلَا أَنْ تُعَيِّرَنِيَ قُرَيْشٌ لَأَقْرَرْتُ عَيْنَيْكَ بِهَا فَنَزَلَتْ {إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ}  

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, and his uncle Abu Talib was mentioned in his presence, so he said, "Perhaps my intercession will reach him, so he will be placed in the shallowest part of Hellfire, where his brain will boil from it."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ عَمُّهُ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ «لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُ شَفَاعَتِي فَتَجْعَلَهُ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنَ النَّارِ تَبْلُغُ كَعْبَيْهِ يَغْلِي مِنْهَا دِمَاغُهُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "I have never desired anything ugly that the people of the pre-Islamic period desired except on two occasions, and both times Allah protected me from it."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا هَمَمْتُ بِقَبِيحٍ مِمَّا يَهُمُّ بِهِ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِلَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ كِلْتَاهُمَا عَصَمَنِي اللَّهُ مِنْهُمَا  

“Count for me all those who have uttered (the word of) Islam.” We said: “O Messenger of Allah, do you fear for us when we number between six and seven hundred?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “You do not know, perhaps you will be tested.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4029)   

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَحْصُوا كُلَّ مَنْ كَانَ تَلَفَّظَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَخَافُ وَنَحْنُ بَيْنَ السِّتِّ مِائَةٍ إِلَى السَّبْعِ مِائَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُبْتَلَونَ» قَالَ فَابْتُلِيَنَا حَتَّى جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا سِرًّا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in Mecca for seven years, following the people to their homes in Okaz, Majannah, and the seasons in Mina. He would say, "Who will provide shelter and support me until I convey the messages of my Lord?" Even the people from Yemen or Egypt would come to him, and their clans would warn them, saying, "Beware of the boy from Quraysh who may deceive you." He would walk among them as they pointed at him with their fingers. Then Allah sent support from Yathrib and we provided him refuge and believed in him. The man would leave us, and upon returning to his people he would deliver Islam to them, and they would embrace it until there was no house left in the houses of the Ansar without some Muslims living in it, openly practicing Islam. Then we gathered and said, "How long will we let the Prophet ﷺ be expelled and live in fear in the mountains of Mecca?" So seventy of us set out until we reached him during the pilgrimage season, and we pledged allegiance to him at Al-Aqaba. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, for what reason should we pledge allegiance to you?" He said, "Pledge allegiance to me to listen and obey in times of energy or laziness, hardship or ease, to spend in times of difficulty or abundance, to enjoy what is good and forbid what is evil, and to not care about the blame of the blamers, and to support and protect me just as you would protect yourselves, your wives, and your children, and Paradise will be yours." So we stood up and pledged allegiance to him. Sa'd ibn Zurarah, the youngest among us, held his hand and said, "O people of Yathrib, we have not even struck the backs of camels unless we knew that he is the Messenger of Allah, and that his expulsion today is a dispute for all the Arabs, and the killing of your best men, and the swords are about to reach you. So either you endure that and your reward will be with Allah, or you fear for yourselves and show your weakness. Clarify your choice, for it is easier for you." They said, "Remove this doubt, for by Allah, we will never abandon this pledge." So we pledged allegiance to him, and he placed conditions for us to be given Paradise in return.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Narrate from the Children of Israel and there is no harm, and narrate from me and do not lie about me."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «حَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ وَحَدِّثُوا عَنِّي وَلَا تَكْذِبُوا عَلَيَّ»  

[Machine] "He said, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to tell us day and night about the children of Israel, what arises only out of necessity.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُنَا الْيَوْمَ وَاللَّيْلَةَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مَا يَقُومُ إِلَّا لِحَاجَةٍ» *  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Convey from me, even if it be an Ayah, and narrate from the Children of Isra'il, and there is no harm, And whoever lies upon me purposely, then let him take his seat in the Fire." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2669)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي وَلَوْ آيَةً وَحَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "I saw in a dream that I was emigrating from Mecca to a land with date palms. My brother-in-law informed me that it was Yamamah or Hijar, but it turned out to be the city of Yathrib (later known as Medina). In another dream, I saw myself shaking a sword and it was broken. This represented the losses suffered by the believers on the Day of Uhud. Then I shook another sword and it became brand new. This symbolized the renewal of blessings from Allah and the gathering of the believers."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ فِيَ الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أُهَاجِرُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى أَرْضِ نَخْلٍ فَذَهَبَ وَهْلِي أَنَّهَا الْيَمَامَةُ أَوْ هَجَرُ فَإِذَا هِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ يَثْرِبُ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيَ رُؤْيَايَ هَذِهِ أَنِّي هَزَزْتُ سَيْفًا فَانْقَطَعَ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ثُمَّ هَزَزْتُ أُخْرَى فَعَادَ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا جَدَّدَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْمَغْنَمِ وَاجْتِمَاعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ»  

“In a dream I saw myself emigrating from Makkah to a land in which there were date-palm trees, and I thought that it was Yamamah or Hajar, but it was Al-Madinah, Yathrib. And I saw in this dream of mine that I was wielding a sword then it broke in the middle. That was what befell the believers on the Day of Uhud. Then I wielded it again and it was better than it had been before, and that is what Allah brought about of the Conquest and the regrouping of the believers. And I also saw cows, and by Allah it is good, for they are the group of the believers (who were martyred) on the Day of Uhud, and the goodness is that which Allah brought forth after that, and the reward of the truth which Allah brought us on the Day of Badr.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3921)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ فِيَ الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أُهَاجِرُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بِهَا نَخْلٌ فَذَهَبَ وَهْلِي إِلَى أَنَّهَا الْيَمَامَةُ وَهَجَرُ فَإِذَا هِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ يَثْرِبُ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيَ رُؤْيَايَ هَذِهِ أَنِّي هَزَزْتُ سَيْفًا فَانْقَطَعَ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَهَزَزْتُهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَعَادَ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْفَتْحِ وَاجْتِمَاعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ»  

[Machine] I have never seen my parents except that they were practicing the religion. There was not a single day that the messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come to us in the morning and evening. When the Muslims were tested, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) migrated before the Muslims towards the land of Abyssinia. He met Ibn Daghna, the ruler of the region and he asked him, "Where are you going, Abu Bakr?" Abu Bakr replied, "My people have expelled me, so I shall roam the earth and worship my Lord." Ibn Daghna said to him, "A person like you, Abu Bakr, neither leaves nor is expelled. Indeed, you are the one who supports the needy, maintains family ties, shows kindness to guests, carries the burdens of others, helps with the difficulties of the truth, and I am your neighbor." Then Ibn Daghna left, and Abu Bakr returned with him. It was said while he was travelling around the disbelievers of the Quraysh, "Abu Bakr neither leaves nor is expelled. He supports the needy, maintains family ties, shows kindness to guests, carries the burdens of others, helps with the difficulties of the truth." So the Quraysh began to surround Ibn Daghna, and they secured the safety of Abu Bakr and said to Ibn Daghna, "Let Abu Bakr go back to his home and worship his Lord as he pleases, and let him recite whatever he wants. He should not harm us, nor should he use prayer and recitation against us outside his home." So Abu Bakr did that. Then Abu Bakr built a mosque in the courtyard of his house and prayed in it, reciting the Quran. The women of the polytheists would stand watching him and marveling at him. Abu Bakr was a man who sobbed uncontrollably when reciting the Quran. So they sent to Ibn Daghna, who came to them. They said to him, "We have only rewarded Abu Bakr for worshipping his Lord in his home. He has built a mosque, announced the prayer and recitation. We fear that our women and children may be misled, so come to him and tell him to confine himself to worshipping his Lord in his home. If he refuses and insists on announcing it, then ask him to release us from our guarantee, for we do not want to bear the blame that we have tolerated the announcement of a man we guaranteed." Then Ibn Daghna came to Abu Bakr and said, "You know what I have guaranteed for you. Either restrict yourself to that, or return my guarantee to me. I do not want the Arabs to hear that I have been deceived in a guarantee I made for a man."

I said to the Prophet ﷺ when he was in the cave - on one occasion he said: when we were in the cave -: If one of them looks at his feet, he will see us beneath his feet. He said: ʿO Abu Bakr, what do you think of two, of whom Allah is the third?ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 11)   

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي الْغَارِ لَوْ أَرَادَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ لَأَبْصَرَنَا تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «مَا ظَنُّكَ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللَّهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا؟ »  

[Machine] She said, Abu Bakr asked permission from the Prophet ﷺ to leave Mecca when the situation became difficult for him, and the Prophet ﷺ told him, "Be patient". Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah, I hope that permission will be granted to you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, I hope so." Abu Bakr waited for him and one day, at noon, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said to him, "Let those with you leave." Abu Bakr said, "They are only my daughters, O Messenger of Allah."  

قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي الْخُرُوجِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ حِينَ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْأَمْرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اصْبِرْ» فَقَالُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَطْمَعُ أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو» فَانْتَظَرَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ظُهْرًا فَنَادَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ «اخْرُجْ مَنْ عِنْدَكِ» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّمَا هُمَا ابْنَتَايَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ  

[Machine] He informed him that he heard a thief say, "Messengers from the disbelievers of Quraysh have come to us, asking for the blood money of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr. Each of them will be given a blood money for whoever kills or captures them." Suraqah said, "While I was sitting in one of the gatherings of the people of Banu Mudlij, a man approached us and stood in front of us. He said, 'O Suraqah, I saw a group of black horses on the coast. I only see them when it is Muhammad and his companions.' Suraqah said, 'I knew they were the ones, so I said, "They're not the ones, but you saw so and so and so and so. Go with us." Then I stayed in the gathering for an hour, then I got up and went to my house. I ordered my servant to bring out my horse, which was behind a heap of grain, and she tied it for me. I took my spear and went out of the back of the house. I dragged my spear along the ground until I reached my horse. I mounted it and urged it forward until I saw their blackness. When I approached where they could hear my voice, my horse stumbled and I fell sideways. I fell on my hands and took out my spear. I swore by the idols and threw my spear. Then I mounted my horse and urged it forward until I heard the recitation of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who did not look back, while Abu Bakr kept turning to look around. My horse snorted and dug its front hooves into the ground until its knees almost touched the ground. I pulled the reins and it refused to move its forelegs. When it was standing upright, a dazzling white cloud appeared in the sky. Mammar said, "I asked Abi Amr ibn al-Ala', 'What is this dazzling cloud?' He remained silent for a while, then he said, 'It is the smoke without fire.' Mammar said, 'Al-Zuhri mentioned it in his narration.' I swore the oath of allegiance to them and allowed them to ride my horse. I kept riding my horse until I met them. It occurred to me that I would be taken prisoner by them and that the matter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would become known. I said, 'Your people have put a price on you, and I have informed them about their military expeditions and what people intend to do with them. I have offered them provisions and supplies, but they refused and only said, 'Keep quiet.' I asked him to write me a letter of safety, and he ordered 'Amir ibn Fuhayrah to write it for me on a piece of white parchment."

Abu Bakr bought a saddle from ‘Azib for thirteen dirhams, then Abu Bakr said to 'Azib. Tell al-Bara to carry it to my house. He said: No, not until you tell us what happened when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and you were with him. Abu Bakr said: We started our journey at the beginning of the night and we hastened for one day and one night, until it was midday. I looked into the distance to see whether there was anywhere to seek shade, and I saw a rock, so I went to it and it had a little shade. I smoothed the ground for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spread a garment of camel hair for him, and said: Lie down and rest, O Messenger of Allah. So he lay down, and I went out to see if I could spot anyone looking for us. Then I saw a shepherd and I said: Who do you belong to, O boy? He said: To a man of Quraish. He mentioned his name and I recognised it. I said: Is there any milk in your sheep? He said: Yes | said: Will you milk some for me? He said: Yes. I told him to do that, so he caught a sheep, then I told him to brush the dust from its teat, then to brush the dust off his hands. I had a small vessel with me on the neck of which was a cloth. He milked a little bit of milk for me and I poured it into the vessel until it cooled down. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I reached him, he had already woken up. I said: Drink, O Messenger of Allah. He drank until I was pleased, then I said: Is it time to move on? So we moved on and the people were coming after us but none of them caught up with us except Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'shum, who was riding a horse of his, I said: O Messenger of Allah, someone has caught up with us. He said: ʿDo not be afraid, for Allah is with us.ʿ When he got close to us, and there was no more between us and him then the length of a spear or two or three spears, I said: O Messenger of Allah, this pursuer has caught up with us, and I wept. He said: ʿWhy are you weeping?ʿ I said: I am not weeping for myself; rather I am weeping for you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed against him [the pursuer] and said: “O Allah, protect us from him by whatever means You will.” Then his horse's legs sank into the solid ground up to its belly, and he fell off it. He said: O Muhammad, I know that this is because of you; pray to Allah to save me from my predicament, and by Allah I shall divert away from you any one who is behind me of those who are seeking you. Here is my quiver, take one arrow. You are going to pass by some camels and sheep of mine in such and such a place, take whatever you need from thern. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have no need of it.“ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for him and he was released, and he went back to his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I continued on our way until we came to Madinah, where the people met him. They came out on the road and on the roofs, and a lot of servants and children crowded the road saying: Allahu Akbar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has come, Muhammad has come. The people disputed as to who he would stay with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿTonight I will stay with Banun-Najjar, the maternal uncles of 'Abdul-Muttalib, to honour them thereby.” The next morning, he went where he was instructed. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: The first of the Muhajireen to come to us was Mus'ab bin 'Umair, the brother of Banu 'Abdud-Dar. Then Ibn Umm Maktoom, the blind man and brother of Banu Fihr, came to us. Then 'Umar bin al-Khattab, came to us with twenty riders and we said: What happened to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: He is behind me. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and Abu Bakr was with him. Al-Bara said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come until I had read some soorahs from al-Mufassal [Al-Mufassal is that portion of the Qur'an which goes from Qaf to an-Nas]. Isra'eel said: al-Bara' was one of the Ansar from Banu Harithah. (Using translation from Aḥmad 3)

[Machine] He said, "When the emigrants arrived from Mecca to Medina, they arrived without anything in their hands, and the Ansar were the people of the land and the houses. So the Ansar distributed half of their wealth and possessions to them every year to suffice them. Umm Anas ibn Malik gave the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a necklace, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave Umm Ayman, his servant, the place of Umm Usama bint Zaid. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished dealing with the people of Khaybar and left for Medina, the emigrants returned to the Ansar the gifts which they had given them from their own fruits. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to Ummi her necklace and gave Umm Ayman her place from the wall."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَدِمُوا وَلَيْسَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَكَانَ الْأَنْصَارُ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ وَالْعَقَارِ قَالَ فَقَاسَمَهُمُ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى أَنْ يُعْطُوهُمْ أَنْصَافَ ثِمَارِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ كُلَّ عَامٍ فَيَكْفُوهُمُ الْعَمَلَ قَالَ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَعْطَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْذَاقًا لَهَا فَأَعْطَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ مَوْلَاتَهُ أُمَّ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَهْلِ خَيْبَرَ وَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ رَدَّ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ مَنَائِحَهُمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا مَنَحُوهُمْ مِنْ ثِمَارِهِمْ قَالَ فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى أُمِّي أَعْذَاقَهَا وَأَعْطَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ مَكَانَهَا مِنْ حَائِطِهِ»  

[Machine] Ibn Kathir said, "O Abu Amr, how many battles did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fight?" He said, "Nineteen." I asked, "How many battles did you fight with him?" He said, "Seventeen." I asked, "What was the first battle he fought?" He said, "Dhu al-Ushayrah or al-Usayrah." Then Abdullah ibn Zaid prayed two Rak'ahs with the people.  

وَقَالَ ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو كَمْ غَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ» قُلْتُ كَمْ غَزَوْتَ مَعَهُ؟ قَالَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ قُلْتُ مَا أَوَّلُ مَا غَزَا؟ قَالَ ذُو الْعُشَيْرَةِ أَوِ الْعُسَيْرَةِ فَصَلَّى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had hair which reached the lobes of his ears, and I saw him wearing red robe. I did not see anything more beautiful than it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4072)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا مَرْبُوعًا بَعِيدَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ لَهُ شَعَرٌ يَبْلُغُ شَحْمَةَ أُذُنَيْهِ رَأَيْتُهُ فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ لَمْ أَرَ قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ ﷺ»  

Al-Bara' reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had the most handsome face amongst men and he had the best disposition and he was neither very tall nor short-statured. (Using translation from Muslim 2337c)  

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَجْهًا وَأَحْسَنَهُمْ خَلْقًا وَخُلُقًا لَيْسَ بِالطَّوِيلِ الذَّاهِبِ وَلَا بِالْقَصِيرِ»  

[Machine] The color of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was dark.  

«كَانَ لَوْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَسْمَرَ»  

"A man asked Al-Bara: 'Was the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ like a sword?' He said: 'No, like the moon.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3636)   

رَجُلٌ لِلْبَرَاءِ كَانَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِثْلَ السَّيْفِ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنْ مِثْلَ الْقَمَرِ»
