١٥۔ بَابُ الصَّادِ
[Machine] Fox ibn Hattib al-Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to bless me with provision." He said, "May Allah have mercy on you, O Tha'laba! A little gratitude is better than much that you cannot bear."
أَنَّ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنَ حَاطِبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي اللهُ قَالَ «وَيْحَكَ يَا ثَعْلَبَةُ قَلِيلٌ تُؤَدِّي شُكْرَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ لَا تُطِيقُهُ»
[Machine] That Tha'labah ibn Hatib al-Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah and said, "O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah to bless me with sustenance." The Messenger of Allah said, "Woe unto you, O Tha'labah! A little gratitude is better than a lot that you cannot afford."
أَنَّ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنَ حَاطِبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي اللهُ قَالَ «وَيْحَكَ يَا ثَعْلَبَةُ قَلِيلٌ تُؤَدِّي شُكْرَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ لَا تُطِيقُهُ»
[Machine] Tha'labah ibn Hatib al-Ansari came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah that He may grant me sustenance." He replied, "Woe to you, O Tha'labah! A little gratitude is better than much that you cannot bear."
أَنَّ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنَ حَاطِبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي اللهُ قَالَ «وَيْحَكَ يَا ثَعْلَبَةُ قَلِيلٌ تُؤَدِّي شُكْرَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ لَا تُطِيقُهُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, the Fire was created for the foolish and it is for women, except for the one who obeys her guardian."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا إِنَّ النَّارَ خُلِقَتْ لِلسُّفَهَاءِ وَهِي لِلنِّسَاءِ إِلَّا الَّتِي أَطَاعَتْ قَيِّمَهَا»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O people, seek knowledge before the scholar passes away, and the learned and the learner are both partners in reward, and there is no good in the rest of the people."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْعِلْمِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْبَضَ الْعَالِمُ وَالْمُتَعَلِّمُ شَرِيكَانَ فِي الْأَجْرِ وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي سَائِرِ النَّاسِ»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿThe siwak is purifying for the mouth and pleasing to the Lord.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 62)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَسَوَّكُوا فَإِنَّ السِّوَاكَ مَطْيَبَةٌ لِلْفَمِ مَرْضَاةٌ لِلرَّبِّ»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿThe siwak is purifying for the mouth and pleasing to the Lord.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 62)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَسَوَّكُوا فَإِنَّ السِّوَاكَ مَطْيَبَةٌ لِلْفَمِ مَرْضَاةٌ لِلرَّبِّ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever misses the opportunity to pray at night and is stingy in spending his wealth, and is cowardly against his enemy, then let him abundantly say 'SubhanAllah' (glory be to Allah) and 'Alhamdulillah' (praise be to Allah), for indeed they are more beloved to Allah than a mountain of gold and silver spent in the cause of Allah."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ فَاتَهُ اللَّيْلُ أَنْ يُكَابِدَهُ وَبَخِلَ بِمَالِهِ أَنْ يُنْفِقَهُ وَجَبُنَ عَنِ الْعَدُوِّ أَنْ يُقَاتِلَهُ فَلْيُكْثِرْ مِنْ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ فَإِنَّهُمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ جَبَلِ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ أَنْفَقَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ»
[Machine] Mu'adh ibn Jabal had a cup made of copper, he would use it to serve the Prophet ﷺ when he drank and he would use it to pour water for him when he performed ablution.
«كَانَ لِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَدَحٌ مُفَضَّضٌ بِنُحَاسٍ فِيهِ يَسْقِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذَا شَرِبَ وَفِيهِ يُوَضِّئُهُ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ»
[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ that he used to swear by Allah three times that no one on the face of the earth says when they wake up, "O Allah, to You belongs all praise, there is no god but You, my Lord, and I am Your servant. I believe in You sincerely and I have become devoted to You and my religion is devoted to You. I have become under Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I repent to You from my bad deeds and seek forgiveness for my sins. Only You can forgive these sins, and whoever dies on that day will enter Paradise."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُقْسِمُ بِاللهِ ثَلَاثًا لَا يَسْتَثْنِي مَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ مُسْلِمٌ يَقُولُ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ اللهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ آمَنْتُ بِكَ مُخْلِصًا لَكَ دِينِي أَصْبَحْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ سُوءِ عَمَلِي وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِذُنُوبِي لَا يَغْفِرُهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَيَمُوتُ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ
[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ : "Whoever humiliates a friend of mine, he has declared war against me. You will not comprehend what I possess except by fulfilling what I have obligated upon you. My servant continues to approach me with voluntary acts of worship until I love him, and when I love him, I become the hearing with which he hears, the sight with which he sees, and the hand with which he grasps. If he calls upon Me, I answer him, and if he seeks My help, I assist him. And the most beloved type of worship to me is providing sincere advice to My servant."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَهَانَ لِي وَلِيًّا فَقَدْ بَارَزَنِي بِالْعَدَاوَةِ ابْنَ آدَمَ لَنْ تُدْرِكَ مَا عِنْدِي إِلَّا بِأَدَاءِ مَا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَلَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَحَبَّبُ إِلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ فَأَكُونَ قَلْبَهُ الَّذِي يَعْقِلُ بِهِ وَلِسَانَهُ الَّذِي يَنْطِقُ بِهِ وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ فَإِذَا دَعَانِي أَجَبْتُهُ وَإِذَا سَأَلَنِي أَعْطَيْتُهُ وَإِذَا اسْتَنْصَرَنِي نَصَرْتُهُ وَأَحَبُّ عِبَادَةِ عَبْدِي إِلَيَّ النَّصِيحَةُ»
the Prophet used to say: “Nothing is of more benefit to the believer after Taqwa of Allah than a righteous wife whom, if he commands her she obeys him, if he looks at her he is pleased, if he swears an oath concerning her she fulfills it, and when he is away from her she is sincere towards him with regard to herself and his wealth.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1857)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ «مَا اسْتَفَادَ الْمُسْلِمُ فَائِدَةً بَعْدَ تَقْوَى اللهِ تَعَالَى خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ إِنْ أَمَرَهَا أَطَاعَتْهُ وَإِنْ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا سَرَّتْهُ وَإِنْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَيْهَا أَبَرَّتْهُ وَإِنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا نَصَحَتْهُ فِي نَفْسِهَا»
[Machine] That the messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sent Amr ibn Tufayl to Khaybar to gather his people for him and said, "O Amr, go and gather your people for us." And Amr said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have sent me while the fighting has ignited." And the messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Don't you want to be the messenger of the messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الطُّفَيْلِ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ لِيَسْتَمِدَّ لَهُ قَوْمَهُ وَقَالَ «يَا عَمْرُو انْطَلِقْ فَاسْتَمِدَّ لَنَا قَوْمَكَ» فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرْسَلْتَنِي وَقَدْ نَشَبَ الْقِتَالُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out and passed by the house of Uthman ibn Mazh'un. He stood at the door of the house and said, "What is wrong with you, O pale-faced one? Isn't Uthman a witness?" She replied, "Yes, he is, and he has not slept on my bed since such and such a time, nor does he break his fast. Go tell him to come to me." So when he came, she said to him, "Go to him." He found him in the mosque, sitting beside him. He turned away from him and wept, then said, "I know that something has been conveyed to you about me." Uthman said, "It is you who fast all year and stand in prayer all night and do not sleep on your bed?" Uthman said, "I have been doing that to seek goodness." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You have a right over your eyes, a right over your body, and a right over your wife. Fast and break your fast, sleep and wake up, and have intercourse with your wife, for I fast and break my fast, I sleep and wake up, and I have intercourse with women. Whoever follows my Sunnah has been guided and whoever leaves it has gone astray. Every deed has its reward and every reward has a period of rest. If the period of rest leads to negligence, it is destruction, and if negligence leads to obligations, it will not harm the person. So do as much as you can. I have been sent with a lenient and easy Islam, so do not burden yourself with the worship of your Lord, for you do not know how long you will live."
خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَرَّ بِبَيْتِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ فَقَامَ عَلَى بَابِ الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ «مَالَكِ يَا كُحَيْلَةُ مُبْتَذِلَةً أَلَيْسَ عُثْمَانُ شَاهِدًا؟» قَالَتْ بَلَى وَمَا اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى فِرَاشِي مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَيَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ فَمَا يُفْطِرُ فَقَالَ «مُرِيهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنِي» فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَتْ لَهُ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَبَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَكَ عَنِّي أَمْرٌ قَالَ «أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ وَتَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ لَا تَضَعُ جَنْبَكَ عَلَى فِرَاشٍ؟» قَالَ عُثْمَانُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ أَلْتَمِسُ الْخَيْرَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لِعَيْنِكَ حَظٌّ وَلِجَسَدِكَ حَظٌّ وَلِزَوْجِكَ حَظٌّ فَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ وَنَمْ وَقُمْ وَائْتِ زَوْجَكَ فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ وَأَنَامُ وَأَقُومُ وَآتِي النِّسَاءَ فَمَنْ أَخَذَ بِسُنَّتِي فَقَدِ اهْتَدَى وَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا ضَلَّ فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ عَمِلٍ شِرَّةٌ وَلِكُلِّ شِرَّةٍ فَتْرَةٌ فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْفَتْرَةُ إِلَى الْغَفْلَةِ فَهِي الْهَلَكَةُ وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْغَفْلَةُ إِلَى الْفَرِيضَةِ لَا يَضُرُّ صَاحِبَهَا شَيْئًا فَخُذْ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ بِمَا تُطِيقُ وَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ بِالْحَنِيفِيَّةِ السَّمْحَةِ فَلَا تَثْقِلْ عَلَيْكَ عِبَادَةَ رَبِّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا طُولُ عُمُرِكَ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went out one day with Abu Bakr, Umar, Zaid bin Thabit, Abdullah bin Masood, Ubayy bin Ka'b and Abdullah bin Abbas, and the Prophet ﷺ was riding on his gray mule. When they appeared, the Prophet ﷺ heard a man saying, "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest). So he stood still and listened. When the man said, "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar," the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Bear witness to this by the One in whose hand is my soul, with the testimony of truth." When he said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah," the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He is free from the Fire, by the One in whose hand is my soul," three times. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This man is the companion of some dogs." So Ibn Mas'ud and Ibn Abbas went and found him like that.
خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ الْجَدْعَاءِ فَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ فَوَقَفَ يَسْتَمِعُ فَلَمَّا قَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «شَهِدَ هَذَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ بِشَهَادَةِ الْحَقِّ» فَلَمَّا قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ «بَرِئَ هَذَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَذَا صَاحِبُ كِلَابٍ» فَذَهَبَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَوَجَدُوهُ كَذَلِكَ
[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , the pinnacle of the virtues of Islam is striving in the cause of Allah, and only the best among them will achieve it.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ذُرْوَةُ سَنَامِ الْإِسْلَامِ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ لَا يَنَالُهُ إِلَّا أَفْضَلُهُمْ
[Machine] Once, a blind man from the Quraysh came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, by my father and mother, I have become old, my bones have become weak, and my eyesight has gone, and I have a guide who does not allow me to lead the prayer. Can I pray in my house?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Can you hear the Adhan from the house you are in?" He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I cannot give you permission. Even if this one who is sitting behind (leading the prayer) knew that you were behind him, he would still come to you, and you should lead the people in prayer even if they crawl on their knees and hands."
أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَى} وَكَانَ رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي أَنَا كَمَا تَرَانِي قَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَرَقَّ عَظْمِي وَذَهَبَ بَصَرِي وَلِي قَائِدٌ لَا يُلَاوِمُنِي قِيَادَةَ إِيَّايَ فَهَلْ تَجِدُ لِي مِنْ رُخْصَةٍ أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي الصَّلَوَاتِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ تَسْمَعُ الْمُؤَذِّنَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي أَنْتَ فِيهِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ مِنْ رُخْصَةٍ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُ هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ مَا لِهَذَا الْمَاشِي إِلَيْهَا لَأَتَاهَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ»
The Prophet ﷺ said: Prayer followed by a prayer with no idle talk between the two is recorded in Illiyyun. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1288)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «صَلَاةٌ عَلَى أَثَرِ صَلَاةٍ كِتَابٌ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ»
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him, went from Mina to Mecca on the day of Tawriyah. He arrived with Bilal by his side, with a garment on a stick to shade him from the heat of the sun.
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَاحَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ مِنْ مِنًى يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ فَقَدِمَ وَإِلَى جَانِبِهِ بِلَالٌ مَعَهُ ثَوْبٌ عَلَى عُودٍ يَسْتُرُهُ مِنْ حَرِّ الشَّمْسِ»
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah (from his own wealth), Allah will build a house for him in Paradise.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 737)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ بَنَى لِلَّهِ مَسْجِدًا بَنَى اللهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَوْسَعَ مِنْهُ»
