[Machine] "To find him fleeing with his face."  

أَنْ يَجِدَهُ عَافِرًا وَجْهَهُ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, charity falls into the hand of Allah before it falls into the hand of the beggar. Then Abdullah recited the verse, 'And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants.'"  

«إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ تَقَعُ فِي يَدِ اللهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقَعَ فِي يَدِ السَّائِلِ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ {وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ} الْآيَةُ  

[Machine] A man came to Abdullah with his nephew who was drunk, and he said, "I found him drunk." Abdullah said, "Cover him and pamper him and reprimand him." The man covered him, pampered him, and reprimanded him, and the smell of alcohol was detected from him. Abdullah ordered him to be taken to prison, then he released him the next day. Then he ordered a whip, and it was struck until the skin broke and it became bleeding. Then he said to the executioner, "Whip him again and return your hand, and give each body part its right." So he beat him in a non-excessive manner and put him in a robe and trousers or a shirt and trousers. Then he said, "By the oath of Allah and the womb of Taim, I have not taught him manners but he has taught me manners, and I have not concealed his disgrace." The man said, "O Abu Abdullah, indeed he is my nephew, and I feel for him as I feel for my own son." Abdullah said, "Indeed, Allah loves forgiveness, and it is not appropriate for a guardian to impose a punishment unless he establishes it."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ بِابْنِ أَخٍ لَهُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ سَكْرَانَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ هَذَا سَكْرَانَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «تَرْتِرُوهُ وَمَزْمِزُوهُ وَاسْتَنْكِهُوهُ» قَالَ فَتُرْتِرَ وَمُزْمِزَ وَاسْتُنْكِهَ فَوُجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحُ الشَّرَابِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِلَى السِّجْنِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِسَوْطٍ فَدُقَّتْ ثَمَرَتُهُ حَتَّى أَحْنَتْ لَهُ مِخْفَقَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْجَلَّادِ «اجْلِدْ وَأَرْجِعْ يَدَكَ وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي عُضْوٍ حَقَّهُ» فَضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبًا غَيْرَ مُبَرِّحٍ وَجَعَلَهُ فِي قُبَاءٍ وَسَرَاوِيلَ أَوْ قَمِيصٍ وَسَرَاوِيلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِئْسَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ وَالِي التَّيْمِ مَا أَدَّبْتُ فَأَحْسَنْتُ الْأَدَبَ وَلَا سَتَرْتُ الْخِزْيَةَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّهُ ابْنُ أَخِي أَجِدُ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّوْعَةِ مَا أَجِدُ لِوَلَدِي فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِوَالٍ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِحَدٍّ إِلَّا أَقَامَهُ»  

[Machine] A man came to Abdullah with his drunken nephew and said, "I found him drunk." Abdullah said, "Mock him, jeer at him, and rebuke him." So they mocked, jeered, and rebuked him. The smell of alcohol was detected from him. Abdullah ordered him to be imprisoned and then released him the next day. Then he ordered for a whip, and it was applied until it left marks on his body. Then he said to the executioner, "Whip him and withdraw your hand, and give each body part its rightful share." So he struck him with moderate blows and put him in a jacket and pants. Abdullah said, "By Allah and the Wali of Taym, I have not disciplined anyone better than I have disciplined him, nor concealed disgrace." The man said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, he is my cousin's son, and I have never had the same trouble with my own children." Abdullah said, "Verily, Allah loves forgiveness, and it is not appropriate for a guardian to impose a punishment unless he establishes it."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ بِابْنِ أَخٍ لَهُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ سَكْرَانَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ هَذَا سَكْرَانَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «تَرْتِرُوهُ وَمَزْمِزُوهُ وَاسْتَنْكِهُوهُ» قَالَ فَتُرْتِرَ وَمُزْمِزَ وَاسْتُنْكِهَ فَوُجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحُ الشَّرَابِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِلَى السِّجْنِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِسَوْطٍ فَدُقَّتْ ثَمَرَتُهُ حَتَّى أَحْنَتْ لَهُ مِخْفَقَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْجَلَّادِ «اجْلِدْ وَأَرْجِعْ يَدَكَ وَأَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي عُضْوٍ حَقَّهُ» فَضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبًا غَيْرَ مُبَرِّحٍ وَجَعَلَهُ فِي قُبَاءٍ وَسَرَاوِيلَ أَوْ قَمِيصٍ وَسَرَاوِيلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِئْسَ لَعَمْرُ اللهِ وَالِي التَّيْمِ مَا أَدَّبْتُ فَأَحْسَنْتُ الْأَدَبَ وَلَا سَتَرْتُ الْخِزْيَةَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّهُ ابْنُ أَخِي أَجِدُ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّوْعَةِ مَا أَجِدُ لِوَلَدِي فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِوَالٍ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِحَدٍّ إِلَّا أَقَامَهُ»  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "If any of you is afflicted with a punishment, do not curse him, rather ask Allah to forgive him and have mercy on him."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدُكُمْ حَدًّا فَلَا تَدْعُوا عَلَيْهِ تُعِينُوا عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانَ وَلَكِنِ ادْعُوا اللهَ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِ وَيَرْحَمَهُ»  

[Machine] If you see your brother committing a sin, do not be his ally against Satan, saying, "O Allah, humiliate him! O Allah, curse him!" Instead, ask Allah for forgiveness and well-being, for we, the companions of Muhammad ﷺ , used to not speak ill of anyone until we knew about their fate. If it was sealed with good, we knew that they had achieved good, and if it was sealed with evil, we feared their actions.  

إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ أَخَاكُمْ قَارَفَ ذَنْبًا فَلَا تَكُونُوا أَعْوَانًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ عَلَيْهِ تَقُولُوا اللهُمَّ اخْزِهِ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْهُ وَلَكِنْ سَلُوا اللهَ الْعَافِيَةَ فَإِنَّا أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ كُنَّا لَا نَقُولُ فِي أَحَدٍ شَيْئًا حَتَّى نَعْلَمَ عَلَى مَا يَمُوتُ فَإِنْ خُتِمَ لَهُ بِخَيْرٍ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَصَابَ خَيْرًا وَإِنْ خُتِمَ لَهُ بِشَرٍّ خِفْنَا عَلَيْهِ عَمَلَهُ  

[Machine] "For me, to be given a whip in the way of Allah is dearer than performing Hajj repeatedly."  

«لَأَنْ أُمَتَّعَ بِسَوْطٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَحُجَّ حَجَّةً بَعْدَ حَجَّةٍ»  

[Machine] Abdullah had the permission to engage in monetary transactions, and there was a man who married a woman, but she died before he could consummate the marriage, so he married her mother. He came to the city and it seemed as if he met with Umar, but he returned and then went to the money changers and forbade them from doing that.  

«كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ رَخَّصَ فِي الصَّرْفِ وَفِي الرَّجُلِ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَمَاتَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَيَتَزَوَّجُ بِأُمِّهَا فَأَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ فَكَأَنَّهُ لَقِيَ عُمَرَ فَرَجَعَ فَأَتَى الصَّيَارِفَةَ فَنَهَاهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah used to exchange one dirham for two dirhams and one dinar for two dinars. But when he returned to Medina, he approached Umar, Ali, and the companions of the Prophet ﷺ who prohibited him from doing so. So when he returned, I saw him going around in the market and saying, "Woe to you, O people! Do not consume riba (usury) and do not buy dirhams for two dirhams or dinars for two dinars."  

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يُرَخِّصُ فِي الدِّرْهَمِ بِالدِّرْهَمَيْنِ وَالدِّينَارِ بِالدِّينَارَيْنِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَتَى عُمَرَ وَعَلِيًّا وَأَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَهَوْهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ رَأَيْتُهُ يَطُوفُ فِي الصَّيَارِفَةِ وَيَقُولُ «وَيْلَكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ النَّاسِ لَا تَأْكُلُوا الرِّبَا وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا الدِّرْهَمَ بِالدِّرْهَمَيْنِ وَلَا الدِّينَارَ بِالدِّينَارَيْنِ»  

[Machine] "عَنْ قَوْلِهِ" translates to "According to his saying" or "From his statement" in English.  

عَنْ قَوْلِهِ»  

[Machine] So he informed him that it is not permissible for him. So when he returned to Kufa, he said to the man, "Indeed, it is forbidden for you, so separate from it."  

فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ «إِنَّهَا عَلَيْكَ حَرَامٌ فَفَارَقَهَا»  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "If you meet a wicked person, then strike him on his grimy face."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِذَا لَقِيتَ الْفَاجِرَ فَالْقَهُ بِوَجْهٍ مُكْفَهِرٍ»  

[Machine] "That he would be disturbed by it, and it would show on his face."  

أَنْ تُغِيَّرَ عَلَيْهِ فَاكْفَهِرَّ فِي وَجْهِهِ»  

[Machine] Indeed, Allah looked into the hearts of the servants and found the heart of Muhammad ﷺ to be the best of hearts. He chose him for Himself and honored him, or He said, He sent him with His message. Then He looked into the hearts of the servants after his heart and found the hearts of his companions to be the best of hearts. So He appointed them as the ministers of His Prophet ﷺ, who fight for His religion.  

إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ اطَّلَعَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ فَوَجَدَ قَلْبَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ خَيْرَ قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ فَاصْطَفَاهُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَخَصَّهُ أَوْ قَالَ بَعَثَهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ ثُمَّ اطَّلَعَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ بَعْدَ قَلْبِهِ فَوَجَدَ قُلُوبَ أَصْحَابِهِ خَيْرَ قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ فَجَعَلَهُمْ وُزَرَاءَ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى دِينِهِ  

[Machine] "Indeed, Allah looked into the hearts of His servants and chose Muhammad ﷺ , sending him with His message and selecting him with his knowledge. Then, He looked into the hearts of people and chose his companions, making them ministers of his Prophet ﷺ and supporters of his religion. So, whatever the believers see as good is considered good in the sight of Allah, and whatever the believers see as ugly is considered ugly in the sight of Allah."  

«إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى نَظَرَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ فَاخْتَارَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ فَبَعَثَهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَانْتَخَبَهُ بِعِلْمِهِ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ فِي قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ فَاخْتَارَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَجَعَلَهُمْ وُزَرَاءَ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ وأنصارَ دِينِهِ فَمَا رَآهُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَسَنًا فَهُوَ عِنْدَ اللهِ حَسَنٌ وَمَا رَآهُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ قَبِيحًا فَهُوَ عِنْدَ اللهِ قَبِيحٌ»  

[Machine] Abdullah heard a man saying, "Where are the ascetics in this worldly life and those who aspire for the Hereafter?" So Abdullah said, "Those are the companions of Al-Jabiyyah and they stipulated that five hundred Muslims should not return until they are killed." So they shaved their heads and confronted the enemy and were killed except for one who reported about them.  

سَمِعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ أَيْنَ الزَّاهِدُونَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالرَّاغِبُونَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «أُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَابِيَةِ وَاشْتَرَطَ خَمْسُ مِائَةٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ لَا يَرْجِعُوا حَتَّى يُقْتَلُوا» فَحَلَقُوا رُءوسَهُمْ فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ فَقُتِلُوا إِلَّا مُخْبِرٌ عَنْهُمْ  

[Machine] "The Hour will not be established until it comes upon the worst of people who do not know any good nor forbid any evil. They argue as the cattle do with one another. A man passes by a woman in the road and fulfills his needs with her, then he returns to his companions and they laugh and he laughs with them, like the bleating of a muddy date-palm which is not eaten."  

«لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا عَلَى شِرَارِ النَّاسِ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ مَعْرُوفًا وَلَا يُنْكِرُ مُنْكَرًا يَتَهَارَجُونَ كَمَا تَهَارَجُ الْبَهَائِمُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ تَمُرُّ الْمَرْأَةُ بِالرَّجُلِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَيَقُومُ إِلَيْهَا فَيَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَيَضْحَكُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيَضْحَكُونَ إِلَيْهِ كَرَجْرَاجَةِ التَّمْرِ الْخَبِيثِ الَّذِي لَا يُطْعَمُ»  

[Machine] "Abdullah said, 'The Hour will come upon the worst of people, upon a people who do not command good and do not forbid evil. They indulge in nonsense like animals and take hold of a woman's hand, fulfill their desires with her, then laugh at each other and laugh with each other, like the excited braying of donkeys that are not fed.'"  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ عَلَى شِرَارِ النَّاسِ عَلَى قَوْمٍ لَا يَأْمُرُونَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَلَا يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ يَتَهَارَجُونَ كَمَا تَهَارَجُ الْحُمُرُ أَخَذَ رَجُلٌ بِيَدِ امْرَأَةٍ فَخَلَا بِهَا فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَضْحَكُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَيَضْحَكُونَ إِلَيْهِ كَرَجْرَاجَةِ التَّمْرِ الْخَبِيثِ الَّذِي لَا يُطْعَمُ»  

[Machine] For a man to say to his brother: fear God, and his brother to respond: mind your own business, you command me.  

أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ لِأَخِيهِ اتَّقِ اللهَ فَيَقُولُ عَلَيْكَ نَفْسَكَ أَنْتَ تَأْمُرُنِي  

[Machine] It is enough for a person to commit a sin when it is said to him: "Fear Allah." He becomes angered.  

كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُ اتَّقِ اللهَ غَضِبَ  

[Machine] "People will continue to be in goodness as long as knowledge comes to them from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ and from their elders. But when knowledge comes from their younger ones, that is when they are doomed."  

«لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا أَتَاهُمُ الْعِلْمُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَمِنْ أَكَابِرِهِمْ فَإِذَا جَاءَ الْعِلْمُ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَصَاغِرِهِمْ فَذَاكَ حِينَ هَلَكُوا»  

[Machine] I heard Ibn Mas'ud say, "People will continue to be righteous and firm as long as they receive knowledge from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ and their seniors. But if they receive it from their juniors, they will perish."  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ صَالِحِينَ مُتَمَاسِكِينَ مَا أَتَاهُمُ الْعِلْمُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَمِنْ أَكَابِرِهِمْ فَإِذَا أَتَاهُمْ مِنْ أَصَاغِرِهِمْ هَلَكُوا»  

[Machine] "People will always be in goodness as long as knowledge comes to them from their elders and those who came before them. But when it comes to them from their juniors, they will be destroyed." This is narrated by Shu'bah from Abu Ishaq from Zaid ibn Wahb, and it was also followed by Zaid ibn Hibban.  

«لَنْ يَزَالَ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا أَتَاهُمُ الْعِلْمُ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَكَابِرِهِمْ وَذَوِي أَسْلَافِهِمْ فَإِذَا أَتَاهُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَصَاغِرِهِمْ هَلَكُوا» هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ وَتَابَعَهُ زَيْدُ بْنُ حِبَّانَ  

[Machine] "People will continue to be in goodness as long as knowledge comes to them from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ and their elders. But when knowledge comes to them from their young ones, they will be ruined."  

«لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا أَتَاهُمُ الْعِلْمُ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَأَكَابِرِهِمْ فَإِذَا أَتَاهُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَصَاغِرِهِمْ هَلَكُوا»  

[Machine] "Indeed, Allah has looked into the hearts of His servants and found the heart of Muhammad ﷺ to be the best of their hearts." So he mentioned a narration similar to the Hadith of Asim.  

«إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ اطَّلَعَ فِي قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ فَوَجَدَ قَلْبَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ خَيْرَ قُلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ» فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ عَاصِمٍ  

“When you send peace and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then do it well, for you do not know, that may be shown to him.” They said to him: “Teach us.” He said: “Say: ‘Allahumma aj’al salataka wa rahmataka wa barakatika ‘ala sayyidil-mursalin wa imamil-muttaqin wa khatamin- nabiyyin, Muhammad ‘abdika wa Rasulika imamil-khayri (wa qa’idil- khair), wa Rasulir-Rahmah. Allahummab’athhu maqaman mahmudan yaghbituhu bihil-awwaluna wal-akhirun. Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammadin kama sallayta ‘ala Ibrahim wa ‘ala ali Ibrahim; Allahumma barik ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammadin kama barakta ‘ala Ibrahim wa ‘ala ali Ibrahim, innaka Hamidum Majid (O Allah, send Your grace, honour, mercy and blessings upon the leader of the Messengers, the imam of the pious and the seal of the Prophets, Muhammad, Your slave and Messenger, the Imam of the good (and the leader) of the good, and the Messenger of mercy. O Allah, raise him to a station of praise and glory that will be the envy of the first and the last. O Allah, send Your grace, honour and mercy upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your grace, honour and mercy upon Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 906)   

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَسِّنُوا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ لَعَلَّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ فَعَلَّمَنَا قَالَ قُولُوا اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صَلَاتَكَ وَرَحْمَتَكَ وَبَرَكَاتِكَ عَلَى سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَإِمَامِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَخَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ إِمَامِ الْخَيْرِ وَقَائِدِ الْخَيْرِ وَرَسُولِ الرَّحْمَةِ اللهُمَّ ابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا يَغْبِطُهُ بِهِ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَالْآخَرُونَ اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ  

“When you send peace and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then do it well, for you do not know, that may be shown to him.” They said to him: “Teach us.” He said: “Say: ‘Allahumma aj’al salataka wa rahmataka wa barakatika ‘ala sayyidil-mursalin wa imamil-muttaqin wa khatamin- nabiyyin, Muhammad ‘abdika wa Rasulika imamil-khayri (wa qa’idil- khair), wa Rasulir-Rahmah.

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَرَحْمَتَكَ عَلَى سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَإِمَامِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَخَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ إِمَامِ الْخَيْرِ وَقَائِدِ الْخَيْرِ وَرَسُولِ الرَّحْمَةِ اللهُمَّ ابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا يَغْبِطُهُ بِهِ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَالْآخَرُونَ اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ» وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ هَذَا الَّذِي رَوَى عَنْهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِسْعَرُ بْنُ كِدَامٍ  

"Whoever would like to meet Allah tomorrow (i.e. on the Day of Judgment) as a Muslim, let him preserve these five (daily) prayer when the call for them is given, for they are part of the ways of guidance, and Allah prescribed the ways of guidance to your Prophet. By Allah, if each of you prays in his house, you will have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet, and if you abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet you will go astray. I remember when no one stayed behind from the prayer except a hypocrite who was known for his hypocrisy. I have a man coming supported by two others, until he joined the row (of worshippers). There is no man who purifies himself and does it well, and comes to the mosque and prays there, but for every step that he takes, Allah raises him in status one degree thereby, and takes away one of his sins." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 777)   

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّ اللهَ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى وَلَعَمْرِي مَا إِخَالُ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا قَدِ اتَّخَذَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مَسْجِدًا وَلَوْ أَنَّكُمْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَا يُصَلِّي هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ مَعْلُومٌ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٌ نِفَاقُهُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى يُقَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ فَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَطَهَّرُ فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ فَيَخْطُو خُطْوَةً يَعْمِدُ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةً وَرَفَعَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً حَتَّى إِنْ كُنَّا لَنُقَارِبُ فِي الْخُطَا»  

"Whoever would like to meet Allah tomorrow (i.e. on the Day of Judgment) as a Muslim, let him preserve these five (daily) prayer when the call for them is given, for they are part of the ways of guidance, and Allah prescribed the ways of guidance to your Prophet. By Allah, if each of you prays in his house, you will have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet, and if you abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet you will go astray. I remember when no one stayed behind from the prayer except a hypocrite who was known for his hypocrisy. I have a man coming supported by two others, until he joined the row (of worshippers). There is no man who purifies himself and does it well, and comes to the mosque and prays there, but for every step that he takes, Allah raises him in status one degree thereby, and takes away one of his sins." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 777)   

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ عَبْدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى وَلَعَمْرِي لَوْ أَنَّ كُلَّكُمْ صَلَّى فِي بَيْتِهِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي الَّذِي فِي بَيْتِهِ لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ مَعْلُومٌ نِفَاقُهُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُهَادَى بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى يُدْخَلَ بِهِ فِي الصَّفِّ وَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ جَمَاعَةٍ فَيُصَلِّي فِيهِ فَيَخْطُو خُطْوَةً إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً أَوْ حَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً حَتَّى إِنْ كُنَّا لَنُقَارِبُ الْخُطَا» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ حَجَّاجٍ  

[Machine] "If someone wants to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, then they should preserve these prayers wherever they are called to them, for they are among the traditions of guidance. Indeed, Allah has enjoined upon your Prophet ﷺ the traditions of guidance. If you were to pray in your homes as this person who lags behind in his own house does, then you would have abandoned the tradition of your Prophet ﷺ . And if you were to abandon the tradition of your Prophet ﷺ , you would go astray. I have seen a man being led between two men until he is brought forward and stands in the row. There was a time that passed upon us and no one neglected it except a known hypocrite. And surely, we used to come very close to one another in the rows."  

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فِي الْجَمِيعِ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ فَرَضَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّكُمْ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تُصَلُّونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا يُهَادَى بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى يُجَاءَ بِهِ فَيُقَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ وَلَقَدْ أَتَى عَلَيْنَا زَمَانٌ وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ مَعْلُومٌ نِفَاقُهُ وَإِنْ كُنَّا لَنُقَارِبُ بَيْنَ الْخُطَا»  

[Machine] If someone were to meet God tomorrow as a Muslim, let them preserve the obligatory prayers where they are called upon. Indeed, Allah has ordained for your Prophet the sunnahs of guidance, and they are from the sunnahs of guidance. And if you were to pray in your homes as this man who neglects the mosque does, then you would leave the sunnah of your Prophet. And if you were to abandon the sunnah of your Prophet, you would go astray. And indeed, a time will come upon us when no one will abandon these sunnahs except for a clear hypocrite, whose hypocrisy is evident. And surely, I have seen a man being led between two people until he stands in the row (of prayer).  

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَلَوْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَا يُصَلِّي هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَلَقَدْ أَتَى عَلَيْنَا زَمَانٌ وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهُنَّ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ بَيِّنٌ نِفَاقُهُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى يَقُومَ فِي الصَّفِّ»

[Machine] If a person wants to meet God tomorrow as a Muslim, then he should make sure to maintain these obligatory prayers, where he is called to them. Indeed, God has legislated for your Prophet the practices of guidance, and these prayers are from the practices of guidance. By my life, if you pray in your homes as this person who neglects to pray in his house does, then you would abandon the tradition of your Prophet. And if you were to abandon the tradition of your Prophet, ﷺ , you would go astray. Indeed, I have observed that no one neglects this tradition except a known hypocrite.  

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَلَعَمْرِي لَوْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَا يُصَلِّي هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَلَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ مَعْلُومٌ نِفَاقُهُ»  

He who likes to meet Allah tomorrow as Muslim, he should persevere in observing these prayers, when a call is announced for them, for Allah has laid down for your Prophet the paths of right guidance, and these (prayers) are among the paths of right guidance. If you were to pray in your houses as this man why stays away (from the mosque) prays in his house, you would abandon the practice of your Prophet, and if you were to abandon the practice of your Prophet, you would go astray. No man purifies himself, doing it well, then makes for one of those mosques without Allah recording a blessing for him for every step he takes raising him a degree for it, and effacing a sin from him for it. I have seen the time when no one stayed away from it, except a hypocrite, who was well known for his hypocrisy, whereas a man would be brought swaying (due to weakness) between two men till he was set up in a row. (Using translation from Muslim 654b)  

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَلَوْ أَنَّكُمْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَا صَلَّى هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ فِي بَيْتِهِ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ تَطَهَّرَ فَيُحْسِنُ الطُّهُورَ ثُمَّ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا حَسَنَةً وَرَفَعَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا سَيِّئَةً وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ مَعْلُومُ النِّفَاقِ وَإِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُهَادَى بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى يُقَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ»  

[Machine] If someone meets Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, let them be careful with these prayers that are called upon, for Allah has prescribed for your Prophet the Sunnah of guidance, and they are from the Sunnah of guidance. And I estimate that there is not one of you who does not have a mosque in which he prays; and even if you leave the Sunnah of your Prophet, you would go astray. And there is no Muslim servant who performs ablution and perfects it, then goes to prayer, except that Allah writes for him a good deed with every step he takes and raises him in rank with it, and removes from him a sin with it."  

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَدْ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَإِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا وَلَهُ مَسْجِدٌ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَمْضِي إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ وَرَفَعَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةٌ وَحَطَّ عَنْهَا بِهَا خَطِيئَةٌ»  

[Machine] "If someone wants to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, then he must preserve these five prayers whenever they are called for, as they are from the Sunnah of guidance." Then he mentioned a similar narration from Al-Masu'di.  

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ حِينَ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ  

[Machine] "If someone wants to meet Allah as a Muslim tomorrow, then they should uphold the five daily prayers when they are called. Verily, Allah has prescribed for your Prophet ﷺ the guided practices, and these prayers are from the guided practices. And every one of you has a place of prayer in his home, and if you were to abandon your mosques, you would be abandoning the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ , and if you were to abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet, you would go astray."  

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ حِينَ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّ اللهَ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى وَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَلِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ مَسْجِدٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ مَسَاجِدَكُمْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ لَضَلَلْتُمْ»  

"Whoever would like to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, let him regularly attend these five (daily) prayers whenever the call for them is given (that in the mosques), for Allah prescribed for His Prophet the ways of guidance, and they (the prayers) are part of those ways of guidance. I do not think that there is anyone among you who does not have a place where he prays in his house. But if you were to pray in your houses and forsake the Masjids, you would be forsaking the Sunnah of your Prophet, and if you were to forsake the Sunnah of your Prophet you would go astray. There is no Muslim slave who performs Wudu and does it well, then walks to the prayer, but Allah will record one Hasanah (good deed) for each step he takes, or raise' him one level by it or erase one sin from him. I remember how we used to take short steps, and I remember (a time) when no one stayed behind from the prayer except a hypocrite whose hypocrisy was well known. And I have seen a man coming Supported by two others until he would be made to stand in the row." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 849)   

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ شَرَعَ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى وَهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى وَلَوْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَا يُصَلِّي هَذَا الْمُتَخَلِّفُ عَنْهَا لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا وَمَا يَتَخَلَّفُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ مَعْلُومٌ نِفَاقُهُ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ مِنَّا يُهَادَى بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ حَتَّى يُقَامَ فِي الصَّفِّ وَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ فَيَأْتِيهِ فَيَرْفَعُ قَدَمًا وَيَضَعُ قَدَمًا إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ وَمَحَا عَنْهُ عَشْرَ سَيِّئَاتٍ وَرَفَعَ لَهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ حَتَّى إِنْ كُنَّا لَنُقَارِبُ بَيْنَ الْخُطَا»  

[Machine] No one avoids praying except a hypocrite known for his hypocrisy, or a sick person, and even a sick person may drag himself between two men to attend the prayer."  

عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ قَدْ عُلِمَ نِفَاقُهُ أَوْ مَرِيضٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَرِيضُ لَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَأْتِي الصَّلَاةَ»  

[Machine] No one is absent from prayer except a hypocrite whose hypocrisy is known, or a sick person, even if the sick person walks between two men he should attend the prayer.  

عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ قَدْ عُلِمَ نِفَاقُهُ أَوْ مَرِيضٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَرِيضُ لَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَأْتِي الصَّلَاةَ»  

[Machine] No one abandons prayer except a hypocrite whose hypocrisy is known, and even if the sick person can walk between two men to come to the prayer.  

عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ قَدْ عُلِمَ نِفَاقُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَرِيضُ لَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ يَأْتِي الصَّلَاةَ»  

[Machine] No one is exempt from prayer except for a hypocrite whose hypocrisy is well known, even if a sick person walks between two people, they should come to prayer.  

عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ قَدْ عُلِمَ نِفَاقُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَرِيضُ لَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ يَأْتِي الصَّلَاةَ»  

[Machine] "Upon you is the obligation of the five prayers in the mosque, as they are a matter of guidance and the tradition of Muhammad ﷺ ."  

«عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْهُدَى وَسُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ»  

[Machine] If a Muslim slave meets Allah, let him pray where he is called to. Indeed, those prayers are the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ. Even if every man prayed in his own home, you would have deserted the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ. And if you deserted the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ, you would go astray. We and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray in front of us until the rows were straightened, or when our rows were straightened, and when the prayer is established today, then one of them is called: "O slave girl, come here for ablution." He regrets it and throws it away from his arms. We and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to talk between us, saying that when a man performs ablution in his house and then goes out to pray, he does not lift his foot except that a rank is lifted for him, and he does not step down except that Allah forgives him for a sin. And we used to come close to the errors."  

أَنْ يَلْقَى اللهَ عَبْدًا مُسْلِمًا فَلْيُصَلِّ الصَّلَوَاتِ حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ فَإِنَّهُنَّ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَإِنَّهُ لَوْ صَلَّى كُلُّ رَجُلٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَتَرَكْتُمْ هَدْي مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ هَدْيَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ لَضَلَلْتُمْ وَلَقَدْ كُنَّا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا مَا تُقَامُ الصَّلَاةُ حَتَّى تُسَوَّى الصُّفُوفُ أَوْ حِينَ تُسَوَّى صُفُوفُنَا وَلَمَّا تُقَامُ الصَّلَاةُ الْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ يُنَادِي أَحَدُهُمْ يَا جَارِيَةُ هَلُمِّي وَضُوءًا وَحَسَرَ عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَلَقَدْ كُنَّا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ قَدَمًا إِلَّا رُفِعَ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةٌ وَلَمْ يَقَعْ أُخْرَى إِلَّا حَطُّ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً فَكُنَّا نُقَارِبُ الْخُطَا»  

[Machine] The passage is a narration about the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ where he spoke one day and said, "The Messenger of Allah said." It affected him so much that sweat began to pour down his face and someone asked him, "Is it because of the intensity of what you just said or is it due to something else?" He replied, "If Allah wills, it is either above this, near to it, or below it."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ تَحَدَّثَ يَوْمًا فَجَرَى عَلَى لِسَانِهِ «قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ» فَعَلَتْهُ كُرْبَةٌ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الْعَرَقَ يَتَحَدَّرُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ «إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ أَمَّا فَوْقَ ذَا أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ ذَا أَوْ دُونَ ذَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When he says: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,' the thunder greets him and says, 'Like this or something similar to this or close to this or as Allah wills."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ الرِّعْدَةُ وَيَقُولُ «هَكَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ»  

[Machine] Abdullah used to come to him every year and not talk about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then one day he spoke while we were with him and he said, "Something like this or close to this."  

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ السَّنَةَ لَا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَدَّثَ يَوْمًا وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ «نَحْوَ هَذَا أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا»  

[Machine] I sat with Abdullah for a year and I did not hear him talk about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he said one day, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said..." then his face changed and he said, "Like this or higher than this or lower than this."  

جَلَسْتُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ سَنَةً فَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَوْمًا «قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ» ثُمَّ تَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «نَحْوَ هَذَا أَوْ فَوْقَ هَذَا أَوْ دُونَ هَذَا»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ did not tell a single hadith except that he pondered for a while and then said, "This is it, or something similar to it, or something like it."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا فَعَرِقَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا أَوْ شَبِيهَ هَذَا»  

[Machine] "I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , until it was the evening. He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ .' Then he lowered his head, and I saw the buttons of his shirt had become loosened, and the veins in his forehead were bulging, and his eyes had reddened. He said, 'Or above that, or below that, or close to that, or something similar to that.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ذَاتَ عَشِيَّةٍ قَالَ «سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» ثُمَّ نَكَسَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَرَأَيْتُهُ مَحْلُولَ أَزْرَارِ قَمِيصِهِ قَدِ انْتَفَخَتْ أَوْدَاجُهُ وَاغْرَوْرَقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «أَوْ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ أَوْ دُونَ ذَلِكَ أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ شِبْهُ ذَلِكَ»
