[Machine] Abdullah does not say to any one of you, "I am a pilgrim," for the pilgrim is the one who has entered the state of ihram. But let him say, "I intend to go to Makkah."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنِّي صَرُورَةٌ فَإِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لَيْسَ بِصَرُورَةٍ وَلَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنِّي حَاجٌّ فَإِنَّمَا الْحَاجُّ الْمُحْرِمُ وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ مَكَّةَ  

[Machine] There is no punishment except in two cases: a man who has been banished from his father or one who slanders a married woman.  

لَا حَدَّ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ نُفِيَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ قَذَفَ مُحْصَنَةً  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "There is no punishment except in two cases: when a married person commits adultery or when a person is banished from his tribe by his father."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «لَا حَدَّ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ أَنْ يَقْذِفَ مُحْصَنَةً أَوْ يُنْفَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَبِيهِ»  

[Machine] "The repentance of Abdullah is presented to the son of Adam, if he accepts it as long as one of three things does not happen: until the sun rises from its place of setting, or until the beast emerges, or until Gog and Magog emerge."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ التَّوْبَةُ مَعْرُوضَةٌ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ إِنْ قَبِلَهَا مَا لَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ مَا لَمْ تَطْلُعِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا أَوْ تَخْرُجُ الدَّابَّةُ أَوْ يَخْرُجُ يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ  

[Machine] It was said to Abdullah, "Indeed, Allah abundantly mentions the remembrance of prayer in the Quran, "Those who are constant in their prayer" and "Those who guard their prayer." So Abdullah said, "That is according to its designated times." They said, "O Abu Abdur-Rahman, we used to see those Turks leaving it." Abdullah said, "Leaving it is disbelief."  

قِيلَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الْقُرْآنِ {الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ} {وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ} فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَوَاقِيتِهَا» فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَرَى ذَاكَ التُّرْكُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «تَرْكُهَا كُفْرٌ»  

[Machine] "Whoever abandons the prayer has disbelieved."  

«مَنْ تَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ كَفَرَ»  

[Machine] It was said to Abdullah, "Indeed, Allah increases the remembrance of prayer {those who are constant in their prayer} {and those who are vigilant in their prayer}". So Abdullah said, "That is because of its appointed times." We said, "We only used to see him leave it." He said, "Indeed, leaving it is disbelief."  

قِيلَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَ الصَّلَاةِ {الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ} {وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ} فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «ذَلِكَ لِمَوَاقِيتِهَا» قُلْنَا مَا كُنَّا نُرَاهُ إِلَّا تَرْكُهَا قَالَ «فَإِنَّ تَرْكَهَا الْكُفْرُ»  

[Machine] "Whoever does not perform prayer has no religion."  

«مَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ فَلَا دِينَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] "Whoever does not pray has no religion."  

«مَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ فَلَا دِينَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] Abdullah went out for the morning prayer, and a group of people had turned their backs towards the direction of the mosque, so he said, "Move away like this from the faces of the angels."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ خَرَجَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ وَقَدْ أَضَافَ قَوْمٌ ظُهُورَهُمْ إِلَى قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ «أَخِّرُوا هَكَذَا عَنْ وُجُوهِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ»  

[Machine] That he saw a group who had turned their backs towards the qibla (direction of prayer) between the call to prayer for Fajr (dawn) and the actual start of the prayer, so he said, "Do not interfere between the angels and their prayers."  

أَنَّهُ رَأَى قَوْمًا قَدْ أَسْنَدُوا ظُهُورَهُمْ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ بَيْنَ أَذَانِ الْفَجْرِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ فَقَالَ «لَا تَحُولُوا بَيْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَبَيْنَ صَلَاتِهَا»  

[Machine] Abdullah came at dawn and found a group of people with their backs facing the qibla. He said, "Delay your prayers to avoid standing between the angels and the qibla, for it is the prayer of the angels."  

جَاءَ عَبْدُ اللهِ عِنْدَ الْفَجْرِ وَقَوْمٌ مُسْنِدُونَ ظُهُورَهُمْ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَقَالَ «تَأَخَّرُوا عَنِ الْقِبْلَةِ لَا تَحُولُوا بَيْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَإِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ»  

[Machine] "From the servants of Allah, do as much as you can."  

عَنْ عَبَّادِ اللهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ»  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "The month of Sha'ban is twenty-nine days."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «الشَّهْرَانِ تِسْعٌ وَخَمْسُونَ يَوْمًا»  

[Machine] Abdullah arrived and Saad had built a palace and made a mosque for the residents of the dates, so he used to go out to it for prayers. When Abdullah became the head of the treasury, he dug into the treasury and took the man. Abdullah wrote to Umar and Umar wrote, "Do not sever it and move the mosque and make the treasury from what is next to Qibla, because there are still people praying in the mosque." Abdullah moved it and wrote down this plan. The palace that Saad had built was called "Shadhara," even though the Imam would stand on it, Abdullah commanded and it was demolished until the place of the Imam was leveled with the people.  

قَدِمَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَقَدْ بَنَى سَعْدٌ الْقَصْرَ وَاتَّخَذَ مَسْجِدًا فِي أَصْحَابِ التَّمْرِ فَكَانَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الصَّلَوَاتِ فَلَمَّا وَلِيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بَيْتَ الْمَالِ نَقَبَ بَيْتَ الْمَالِ فَأَخَذَ الرَّجُلَ فَكَتَبَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ «أَنْ لَا تَقْطَعْهُ وَانْقُلِ الْمَسْجِدَ وَاجْعَلْ بَيْتَ الْمَالِ مِمَّا يَلِي الْقِبْلَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَزَالُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مَنْ يُصَلِّي» فَنَقَلَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَخَطَّ هَذِهِ الْخُطَّةَ وَكَانَ الْقَصْرُ الَّذِي بَنَى سَعْدٌ شَاذَرَ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْإِمَامُ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ «فَأَمَرَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَنُقِضَ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى مَقَامُ الْإِمَامِ مَعَ النَّاسِ»  

[Machine] That Abdullah lent money to his relatives from the Saad tribe and when their repayments were due, they chose to give him their own wealth instead. When it was brought to him, Abdullah said, "This is better than the wealth we gave you, so gather your repayments and give us from its value."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ أَقْرَضَ أَخْوَالًا لَهُ مِنْ بَنِي سَعْدٍ مَالًا فَلَمَّا خَرَجَتْ أُعْطِيَاتِهِمُ اخْتَارُوا لَهُ مَالَهُمْ فَلَمَّا أُتِي بِهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ مَالِنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَيْنَاكُمْ فَاجْمَعُوا أُعْطِيَاتِكُمْ وَأَعْطُونَا مِنْ عَرْضِهَا»  

[Machine] "Abdullah, by Him who there is no god but Him, Allah has indeed divided this bounty through the tongue of Muhammad ﷺ before the opening of Persia and Rome."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ «لَقَدْ قَسَّمَ اللهُ هَذَا الْفَيْءَ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُفْتَحَ فَارِسُ وَالرُّومُ»  

[Machine] Abdullah has four matters that have been fulfilled for him: creation, character, sustenance, and lifespan.  

عَبْدُ اللهِ أَرْبَعٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُنَّ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخُلُقِ وَالرِّزْقِ وَالْأَجَلِ  

[Machine] Four things have already been determined for us: our creation, our character, our sustenance, and our death. None of us can gain anything from anyone else.  

أَرْبَعٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُنَّ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخُلُقِ وَالرِّزْقِ وَالْأَجَلِ لَيْسَ أَحَدُنَا كَسْبٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ  

[Machine] Four things have been decreed for us, concerning creation, disposition, sustenance, and lifespan; none of us can acquire anything from another.  

أَرْبَعٌ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُنَّ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخُلُقِ وَالرِّزْقِ وَالْأَجَلِ لَيْسَ أَحَدُنَا كَسْبٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ  

[Machine] Abdullah had a Christian scribe, so Abdullah entered the palace and the Christian returned, and Abdullah followed him with peace.  

«كَانَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ كَاتَبٌ نَصْرَانِيٌّ فَدَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ الْقَصْرَ وَرَجَعَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ فَأتْبَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ السَّلَامَ»  

[Machine] "Abdullah walked with people from the polytheists until they reached the gate of the palace, then he greeted them."  

«مَشَى مَعَ عَبْدِ اللهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ بَابَ الْقَصْرِ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] I passed by a mosque among the mosques of Banu Hanifah, and I heard them reciting something that Allah did not reveal: "The mills grind the dough, and the bakers knead the dough, and the hungry people eat the bread." Ibn Mas'ud, the leader of their congregation, came forward and killed him. The rest of them multiplied, and he said, "Today, I will not forbid them, Satan will lead them to Sham until Allah grants them repentance or the plague destroys them."  

إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِمَسْجِدٍ مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ فَسَمِعْتُهُمْ يَقْرَءُونَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يُنْزِلْهُ اللهُ الطَّاحِنَاتُ طَحْنَا الْعَاجِنَاتُ عَجْنًا الْخَابِزَاتُ خَبْزًا اللَّاقِمَاتُ لَقْمًا قَالَ فَقَدّمَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ابْنَ النَّوَّاحَةَ إِمَامَهُمْ فَقَتَلَهُ وَاسْتَكْثَرَ الْبَقِيَّةَ وَقَالَ «لَا أَجْزُرُهُمُ الْيَوْمَ الشَّيْطَانَ سَيِّرُوهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ حَتَّى يَرْزُقَهُمُ اللهُ تَوْبَةً أَوْ يُفْنِيهِمُ الطَّاعُونُ»  

[Machine] I passed by a mosque of the Banu Hanifa and I heard them reciting something that Allah did not reveal: "The mills grind the dough, the kneaders knead the bread, the eaters eat the morsels." Ibn Mas'ud then presented their imam, the son of the crier, and killed him. The rest of them increased, and he said, "I will not stop them today. Satan will lead them to Sham until Allah provides them with repentance or the plague kills them."  

إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِمَسْجِدٍ مِنْ مَسَاجِدِ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ فَسَمِعْتُهُمْ يَقْرَءُونَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يُنْزِلْهُ اللهُ الطَّاحِنَاتُ طَحْنَا الْعَاجِنَاتُ عَجْنًا الْخَابِزَاتُ خَبْزًا اللَّاقِمَاتُ لَقْمًا قَالَ فَقَدّمَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ابْنَ النَّوَّاحَةَ إِمَامَهُمْ فَقَتَلَهُ وَاسْتَكْثَرَ الْبَقِيَّةَ وَقَالَ «لَا أَجْزُرُهُمُ الْيَوْمَ الشَّيْطَانَ سَيِّرُوهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ حَتَّى يَرْزُقَهُمُ اللهُ تَوْبَةً أَوْ يُفْنِيهِمُ الطَّاعُونُ»  

Harithah ibn Mudarrib said that he came to Abdullah ibn Mas'ud and said (to him): There is no enmity between me and any of the Arabs. I passed a mosque of Banu Hanifah. They (the people) believed in Musaylimah. Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud) sent for them. They were brought, and he asked them to repent, except Ibn an-Nawwahah. He said to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Were it not that you were not a messenger, I would behead you. But today you are not a messenger. He then ordered Qarazah ibn Ka'b (to kill him). He beheaded him in the market. Anyone who wants to see Ibn an-Nawwahah slain in the market (he may see him). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2762)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْلَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولٌ لَضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَكَ» فَأَنْتَ الْيَوْمَ لَيْسَ بِرَسُولٍ فَأَمَرَ قَرَظَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ فِي السُّوقِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى ابْنِ النَّوَّاحَةِ قَتِيلًا بِالسُّوقِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "If it were not for the fact that you are a messenger, I would have killed you." As for today, O Harashah, you are not a messenger. Stand up and strike his neck. So he got up and struck his neck.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْلَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولٌ لَقَتَلْتُكَ» فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَلَسْتَ بِرَسُولٍ يَا حَرَشَةُ قُمْ فَاضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Ibn al-Nawwaha, "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Do you bear witness that Musaylimah is the Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ then said, "If it was not for the fact that you are a messenger, I would have killed you."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِابْنِ النَّوَّاحَةِ «أَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ؟» قَالَ أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْتَ أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ رَسُولُ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَوْلَا أَنَّكَ رَسُولٌ لَقَتَلْتُكَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah came and it was said to him, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, there are people here who are reciting Musaylimah's recitation." Abdullah replied and stayed for as long as Allah willed, then he came and said, "By the One whom I swear by, O Abu Abdur Rahman, I have left them now in a house and that Quran is with them." He ordered Qarzah bin Ka'b to go with the people, and he said, "Bring them." When he brought them, Abdullah said, "What is this after the spreading of Islam?" They said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, we seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him, and we testify that Musaylimah is the liar who fabricates lies against Allah and His Messenger." Abdullah then accepted their repentance and sent them to Ash-Sham (Greater Syria), and they were about eighty men. But Ibn An-Nawwahah refused to repent, so Qarzah bin Ka'b ordered him to be taken to the market place, and his neck was struck, and he was ordered to take his own head and throw it into his mother's room. Abdullah bin Abdullah said, "After that, I met an old man among them in Ash-Sham, and he said to me, 'May Allah have mercy upon your father. I swear by Allah, if we had killed that day, all of us would have entered the Fire.'  

أُتِيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ هَهُنَا نَاسٌ يَقْرَءُونَ قِرَاءَةَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ فَرَدَّهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَلَبِثَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَلْبَثَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي أَحْلِفُ بِهِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَقَدْ تَرَكْتُهُمُ الْآنَ فِي دَارٍ وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الْمُصْحَفَ لَعِنْدَهُمْ فَأَمَرَ قَرَظَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ فَسَارَ بِالنَّاسِ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ «ائْتِ بِهِمْ» فَلَمَّا أَتَى بِهِمْ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «مَا هَذَا بَعْدَ اسْتِفَاضِ الْإِسْلَامِ؟» قَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ نَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَنَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ وَنَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ هُوَ الْكَذَّابُ الْمُفْتَرِي عَلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ قَالَ فَاسْتَتَابَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَسَيَّرَهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَقَرِيبٌ مِنْ ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا وَأَبَى ابْنُ النَّوَّاحَةِ أَنْ يَتُوبَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ قَرَظَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ فَأَخْرَجَهُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ رَأْسَهُ فَيُلْقِيَهُ فِي حِجْرِ أُمِّهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَلَقِيتُ شَيْخًا مِنْهُمْ كَبِيرًا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِالشَّامِ فَقَالَ لِيَرْحَمِ اللهُ أَبَاكَ وَاللهِ لَوْ قَتَلْنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ لَدَخَلْنَا النَّارَ كُلُّنَا  

[Machine] The first to spread the Quran among the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was Abdullah ibn Masood. The first to build a mosque for prayer was Ammar ibn Yasir. The first to give the call to prayer was Bilal. The first to ride his horse in the way of Allah was Al-Miqdad ibn Al-Aswad. The first Muslim to throw a spear in the way of Allah was Saad. The first Muslim to be martyred on the day of Badr was Mahja, the servant of Umar ibn Khattab. The first group of people who pledged allegiance to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ were the people of Juhayna. And the first to give voluntary charity from their own selves were the sons of Uthra ibn Saad.  

«أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَفْشَى الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ بَنِي مَسْجِدًا يُصَلَّى فِيهِ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ غَدَا بِهِ فَرَسُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ رَمَى فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ سَعْدٌ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ قُتِلَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ مَهْجَعُ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَأَوَّلُ حَيٍّ أَلِفُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جُهَيْنَةُ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ أَدَّوُا الصَّدَقَةَ طَائِعِينَ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ بَنُو عُذْرَةَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ»  

[Machine] I stood next to Abdullah during the afternoon or evening, and I heard him reciting.  

«قُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ»  

[Machine] "It is as if I am looking at him while he is prostrating and he leaned on his elbows, to the point that I almost saw the whiteness of his armpits."  

«كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَجَافَى مِرْفَقَيْهِ حَتَّى كِدْتُ أَنْ أَرَى بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ»  

[Machine] I entered the mosque and said, "I will pray at every pillar." So, I came to Abdullah while he was sitting with his companions and they were engaged in conversation with me. He said, "If he knew that his Lord is waiting for him at the first pillar, he would not leave it until he completes his prayer."  

دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَقُلْتُ أُصَلِّي عِنْدَ كُلِّ سَارِيَةٍ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَعِنْدَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَهُمْ فِي حَدِيثِي فَقَالَ «لَوْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ رَبَّهُ عِنْدَ السَّارِيَةِ الْأُولَى مَا تَرَكَهَا حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ صَلَاتَهُ»  

[Machine] That Allah is not below any roof until He performs His prayer.  

أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ عِنْدَ أَدْنَى سَارِيَةٍ مَا جَاوَزَهَا حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ صَلَاتَهُ»  

[Machine] As the text provided is in Arabic, the following is the English translation:

"For me, stepping on a hot ember is dearer than stepping on a Muslim's grave."  

«لَأَنْ أَطَأَ عَلَى جَمْرَةٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَطَأَ عَلَى قَبْرِ مُسْلِمٍ»  

[Machine] "The first day of the feast is a duty, the second is a favor, and the third is for show and reputation. Whoever shows off, Allah will expose them."  

«الْوَلِيمَةُ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ حَقٌّ وَالثَّانِي فَضْلٌ وَالثَّالِثُ رِيَاءٌ وَسُمْعَةٌ وَمَنْ يُسَمِّعْ يُسَمِّعِ اللهُ بِهِ»  

[Machine] There was a conversation between a man from the companions of Abdullah and his wife. She said, "I do not feed you or your children except from the milk of my sheep." He swore not to eat anything from her milk. Then, a guest joined them and she fed him with the milk of her sheep. The man said, "I knew that I would not eat it." The woman said, "By Allah, if you do not eat, I will not eat." The guest said, "By Allah, if you both do not eat, I will not eat." So, they spent the night without having dinner. The incident reached Abdullah, so he went to Abdullah and asked him, "What happened between you and your family?" He said, "There was neither divorce, nor talaq (repudiation), nor zihar (when a husband likens his wife to a relative), but he narrated the whole story to him. Abdullah said to him, "I made an oath to you that if you return to your family, the first thing you should do is to eat from the milk of this sheep. And I believe that it is best for you to fulfill the oath you made."  

كَانَ بَيْنَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتِهِ كَلَامٌ فَقَالَتْ مَا أُدْمُكَ وَأُدْمُ عِيَالِكَ إِلَّا مِنْ لَبَنِ شَاتِي فَأَقْسَمَ أَنْ لَا يَأْكُلَ مِنْ لَبَنِهَا شَيْئًا فَضَافَهُمْ ضَيْفٌ فَأَدْمَتْ لَهُ بِلَبَنِ شَاتِهَا فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتِ أَنِّي لَا آكُلُهُ فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ لَمْ تَأْكُلْ لَا آكُلُ فَقَالَ الضَّيْفُ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ لَمْ تَأْكُلَا لَا آكُلُ فَبَاتُوا بِغَيْرِ عَشَاءٍ فَنَمَى الْحَدِيثُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَجَاءَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ «مَا الَّذِي حَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ أَهْلِكَ؟» قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ طَلَاقٌ وَلَا ظِهَارٌ وَلَا إِيلَاءٌ ثُمَّ قَصَّ عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ «أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ إِذَا رَجَعْتَ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَا تَصْنَعُ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنْ لَبَنِ هَذِهِ الشَّاةِ وَقَدْ أَرَى أَنَّ أَطْيَبَ لِنَفْسِكَ أَنْ تُكَفِّرَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ»  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah bin Mas'ood saying, "Indeed, Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has also sent down its cure, except for death."  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ دَاءً إِلَّا أَنْزَلَ لَهُ دَوَاءً إِلَّا الْمَوْتُ»  

[Machine] "So, join the crowd."  

«فَالْزَمْ جَمَاعَةَ النَّاسِ»  

[Machine] "O people, fear Allah and be obedient and united. Verily, they are the rope of Allah upon which He has commanded. And indeed, what you dislike in obedience and unity is better than what you love in division. And Allah has not created anything in this world except that He has set a limit for it, which it will reach and then decrease until the Day of Resurrection. Surely, the firmness of Islam has been established, but it will soon diminish and disperse until the Day of Resurrection. And a sign of that is that you sever your family ties and spread discord so much so that the wealthy no longer fear poverty, and the poor no longer find anyone to be compassionate towards them. And even the beggar stands between the two congregational prayers and nothing is given to him. While the people are in this state, the earth will sink like the sinking of a cow. Each group will think that the sinking is only happening within their own area, then a return will come and the second sinking will be even more severe, like the destruction of their own livers." Then he was asked, what is the destruction of the liver? He said, "These bracelets made of gold and silver. From that day, gold and silver will be of no value until the Day of Resurrection. And no one will find anyone who accepts his charity."  

«أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالطَّاعَةِ وَالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّهُمَا حَبْلُ اللهِ الَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ وَإِنَّ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فِي الطَّاعَةِ وَالْجَمَاعَةِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ فِي الْفُرْقَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَخْلُقْ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا جَعَلَ لَهُ نُهْيَةً يَنْتَهِي إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَنْقُصُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَلَا إِنَّ عُرَى الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ أُثْبِتَ وَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ وَيُدْبِرَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَقْطَعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ وَأَنْ تَفْشُوَ الْفَاقَةُ حَتَّى لَا يَخَافُ الْغَنِيُّ إِلَّا الْفَقْرَ وَحَتَّى لَا يَجِدَ الْفَقِيرُ مَنْ يَعْطِفُ عَلَيْهِ وَحَتَّى يَقُومَ السَّائِلُ بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَتَيْنِ فَلَا يَقَعُ فِي يَدِهِ شَيْءٌ فَبَيْنَمَا النَّاسُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ خَارَتِ الْأَرْضُ خَارَةً مِثْلَ خُوَارِ الْبَقَرِ يَحْسِبُ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ أَنَّهَا خَارَتْ مِنْ سَاحَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ رُجُوعٌ فَتَخُورُ الثَّانِيَةَ أَفْلَاذَ كَبِدِهَا» فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَمَا أَفْلَاذُ كَبِدِهَا؟ قَالَ «أَمْثَالُ هَذِهِ السَّوَارِي مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ فَمِنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ الذَّهَبُ وَالْفِضَّةُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يَجِدُ مَنْ يَقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَدَقَةَ مَالِهِ»  

[Machine] He said, "O people, upon you is obedience and unity, for indeed they are the rope of Allah which He has commanded. And indeed, what you dislike in obedience and unity is better for you than what you like in division. And Allah has not created anything except that He has made an end for it to which it will return. And indeed, Islam has come with stability, and it is soon to reach its end, then it will turn back and diminish until the Day of Resurrection. And the sign of that is the increase of disputes and the cutting off of family relations, to the point that the poor person cannot find someone to help him, and the wealthy person realizes that what he possesses is not enough for him. And to the extent that a man complains to his brother and cousin, but none of them gives him anything. And to the extent that the beggar walks between the congregations with nothing in his hand, until the ground beneath them becomes barren, and the people of every land can see that it has become barren in their land. Then it will calm down for them as Allah wills, then the earth will suddenly vomit out its treasures." It was said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, what are the treasures that the earth will vomit out?" He replied, "Barrels of gold and silver. So from that day onwards, gold and silver will not be of any benefit until the Day of Resurrection."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالطَّاعَةِ وَالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّهُمَا حَبْلُ اللهِ الَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ وَإِنَّ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فِي الطَّاعَةِ وَالْجَمَاعَةِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ فِي الْفُرْقَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يَخْلُقْ شَيْئًا إِلَّا جَعَلَ لَهُ نِهَايَةً يَنْتَهِي إِلَيْهَا وَإِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ لَهُ ثَبَاتٌ وَإِنَّهُ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ نُهْيَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَرْتَدَّ وَيَنْقُصَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَآيَةُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَكْثُرَ الْفَاقَةُ وَيُقْطَعَ الْأَرْحَامُ حَتَّى لَا يَجِدَ الْفَقِيرُ مَنْ يَعُودُ عَلَيْهِ وَحَتَّى يَرَى الْغَنِيُّ أَنَّهُ لَا يَكْفِيهِ مَا عِنْدَهُ وَحَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَشْكُو إِلَى أَخِيهِ وَابْنِ عَمِّهِ وَلَا يَعُودُ عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ وَحَتَّى إِنَّ السَّائِلَ لَيَمْشِي بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَتَيْنِ مَا يُوضَعُ فِي يَدِهِ شَيْءٌ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ خَارَتِ الْأَرْضُ خَوْرَةً لَا يَرَوْنَ أَهْلُ كُلِّ سَاحَةٍ إِلَّا أَنَّهَا خَارَتْ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ تَهْدَأُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ تَفْجَؤُهُمُ الْأَرْضُ تَقِيءُ أَفْلَاذَ كَبِدِهَا» قِيلَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمَا أَفْلَاذُ كَبِدِهَا؟ قَالَ «أَسَاطِينُ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ فَمِنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يُنْتَفَعُ بِذَهَبٍ وَلَا فِضَّةٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] "Stick to this group, as it is the rope of Allah that He has commanded. And indeed, what you dislike about the group is better than what you like about separation. Indeed, Allah has never created anything without setting boundaries for it. And indeed, this religion has been completed and it is heading towards decline. And the signs of that include severing family ties, unjustly taking people's wealth, shedding blood, and a person complaining to his relatives without receiving any assistance. And the beggar goes around between the two congregational prayers with nothing placed in his hand. While they were in this state, the earth sank like the sinking of a dead cow when it throws forward its liver. So there is no benefit in gold or silver after that."  

«الْزَمُوا هَذِهِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّهُ حَبْلُ اللهِ الَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ وَإِنَّ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ فِي الْفُرْقَةِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَخْلُقْ شَيْئًا قَطُّ إِلَّا جَعَلَ لَهُ مُنْتَهًى وَإِنَّ هَذَا الدِّينَ قَدْ تَمَّ وَإِنَّهُ صَائِرٌ إِلَى نُقْصَانٍ وَإِنَّ أَمَارَةَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُقْطَعَ الْأَرْحَامُ وَيُؤْخَذَ الْمَالُ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ وَتُسْفَكَ الدِّمَاءُ وَيَشْكِي ذُو الْقَرَابَةِ إِلَى قَرَابَتِهِ لَا يَعُودُ عَلَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ وَيَطُوفُ السَّائِلُ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَتَيْنِ مَا يُوضَعُ فِي يَدِهِ شَيْءٌ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ خَارَتِ الْأَرْضُ خُوَارَ الْبَقَرِ إِذْ قَذَفَتْ أَفْلَاذَ كَبِدِهَا فَلَا يُنْتَفَعُ بَعْدَهُ بِذَهَبٍ وَلَا فِضَّةٍ»  

[Machine] "Whoever establishes the prayer but does not give the zakat, then he has no prayer."  

«مَنْ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَلَمْ يُؤْتِ الزَّكَاةَ فَلَا صَلَاةَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] That Abdullah entered upon him, and had set up belongings in his house. So Abdullah said, "Be careful of the thief in your house, for people are likely to become thieves."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ نَصَبَ مَتَاعًا فِي بَيْتِهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «اسْتَخْفِ مِنْ شُوَارِ بَيْتِكَ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يُوشِكُوا أَنْ يَكُونُوا أَهْلَ قَتَبٍ»  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "Indeed, a believer is amiable, and there is no good in someone who is not amiable and is not befriended."  

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّ المُؤْمِنَ مَأْلَفٌ وَلَا خَيْرَ فِيمَنْ لَا يَأْلَفُ وَلَا يُؤْلَفُ»  

[Machine] "That Abdullah used to seek refuge in four things by saying, 'O Allah! I seek refuge in You from wealth that overpowers me, from poverty that makes me forgetful, from desires that mislead me, and from actions that sadden me.'"  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ كَانَ يَسْتَعِيذُ مِنَ أَرْبَعٍ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غِنًى يُطْغِينِي وَمِنْ فَقْرٍ يُنْسِيَنِي وَمِنْ هَوًى يُرْدِينِي وَمِنْ عَمِلٍ يُحْزِنُنِي»  

[Machine] Abdullah used to say, "Beware of difficult words."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ كَانَ يَقُولُ «إِيَّاكُمْ وِصِعَابَ الْقَوْلِ»  

[Machine] Abdullah said to his companions when they came to him, "Are you sitting?" They replied, "We will not leave it." He said, "So, are you lying?" They said, "Yes, O Abu Abdur Rahman, indeed one of us loses his brother and he walks in search of him until he finds him." He said, "Indeed, you will continue to be in goodness as long as you do that."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ لِأَصْحَابِهِ حِينَ قَدِمُوا عَلَيْهِ «هَلْ تَجَالَسُونَ؟» قَالُوا لَيْسَ نَتْرُكُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «فَهَلْ تَزَاوَرُونَ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنَّا لَيَفْقِدُ أَخَاهُ فَيَمْشِي فِي طَلَبِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْكُوفَةِ حَتَّى يَلْقَاهُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَزَالُوا بِخَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] "Do not eat cheese except what is made by Muslims and the People of the Book."  

«لَا تَأْكُلُوا مِنَ الْجُبْنِ إِلَّا مَا صَنَعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَأَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ»  

[Machine] Abdullah used to lower his voice, hands, and gaze when standing in prayer.  

«أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ خَفَضَ فِيهَا صَوْتَهُ وَيَدَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ»  

[Machine] Abdullah did not give a sermon in Kufa except that I attended and listened to it one day. He was asked about a man who divorces his wife three times and similar cases, to which he replied as he had said before. Then he said, "Verily, Allah has revealed His Book and clarified its meanings. So whoever follows the command based on the apparent, he has understood it, and whoever goes against it, then by Allah, we cannot tolerate all of your disagreements."  

مَا خَطَبَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بِالْكُوفَةِ خُطْبَةً إِلَّا شَهِدْتُهَا فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَوْمًا وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُطَلِّقُ ثَمَانِيًا وَأَشْبَاهَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَنْزَلَ كِتَابَهُ وَبَيَّنَ بَيَانَهُ فَمَنْ أَتَى الْأَمْرَ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ فَقَدْ بَيَّنَ لَهُ وَمَنْ خَالَفَ فَوَاللهِ مَا نُطِيقُ كُلَّ خِلَافِكُمْ»
