[Machine] And he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "No slave leads a group in prayer except that he takes upon himself their responsibility in their prayer. If he performs it well, it is for him and for them. And if he does evil, it is on him and not on them."  

وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَؤُمُّ عَبْدٌ قَوْمًا إلَّا تَوَلَّى مَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ فَإِنْ أَحْسَنَ فَلَهُ وَلَهُمْ وَإِنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهِ وَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] Abu Ali Al-Hamdani told me, while he was in Alexandria, that he went on a journey and Uqbah bin Amer was with them. We said to him, "Will you be our leader?" He said, "I am not one to do that, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever leads the people in prayer and does it at the proper time and completes it, then the reward is for him and for them. And whoever detracts anything from that, then it is upon him and not upon them.'"  

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ مَسْكَنُهُ سَنَةً الْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةُ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ فِي سَفَرٍ وَمَعَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ أُمَّنَا فَقَالَ لَسْتُ بِفَاعِلٍ إنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ فَأَصَابَ الْوَقْتَ وَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ فَلَهُ وَلَهُمْ وَمَنِ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَعَلَيْهِ وَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the pulpit saying, "Prepare for them whatever power you are able." Know that the power is in archery, know that the power is in archery.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ {وَأَعِدُّوا لَهُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ} أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْقُوَّةَ الرَّمْيُ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Lands shall be thrown open to you and Allah will suffice you (against your enemies), but none of you should give up playing with his arrows. (Using translation from Muslim 1918a)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَرَضُونَ وَيَكْفِيكُمُ اللهُ فَلَا يَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَلْهُوَ بِسَهْمِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you see Allah giving the servant what he loves while he remains steadfast in his sins, then surely that is Allah luring him in. Then He recited this verse, 'So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair. So the people that committed wrong were cut off. Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds!'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اللهَ يُعْطِي الْعَبْدَ مَا يُحِبُّ وَهُوَ مُقِيمٌ عَلَى مَعَاصِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ مِنْهُ اسْتِدْرَاجٌ» ثُمَّ نَزَعَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ مُبْلِسُونَ فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ}  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of Tabuk. I approached the Prophet ﷺ while he was talking to his companions, and he said, "Whoever performs ablution and then offers two units of prayer, perfecting the ablution, his sins will be forgiven and it will be as if he was born on the day his mother gave birth to him." I said, "Praise be to Allah, who has granted me the opportunity to hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَجِئْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ فَقَالَ «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَانَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَهَيْئَةِ يَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ» فَقُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي أَسْمَعُ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever performs ablution and completes its perfection, then raises his head towards the sky and says: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger,' eight doors of Paradise will be opened for him and he may enter through whichever of them he wishes."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ وَأَتَمَّ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ دَخَلَ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ  

[Machine] The care of camels was entrusted to me, so I took care of them until evening. I then encountered the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing and addressing the people. I heard him say, "Whoever among you performs ablution and does it perfectly, then stands and prays two Rak'ahs, focusing his face and heart towards them, will have Paradise guaranteed for him."  

كَانَتْ رِعَايَةُ الْإِبِلِ فَجَاءَ نَوْبَتِي أَرْعَاهَا فَرَوَّحْتُهَا بِالْعَشِيِّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِمَا بِوَجْهِهِ وَقَلْبِهِ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever emancipates a believing slave, then his emancipation will be his ransom from the Fire."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً فَهِيَ فِدَاؤُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Whoever emancipates a believing slave, then it is his redemption."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً فَهِيَ فِدَاؤُهُ»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet, ﷺ : "Whoever frees a believing slave, his own freedom from the Hellfire will be guaranteed, freeing each of his body parts."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً كَانَتْ فِدَاءَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ مَكَانَ كُلِّ عُضْوٍ عُضْوٌ»  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The first thing that parts among people after being sealed in their mouths, is that a person should take from his neighbor's (or friend's) plate on the left."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنَ الْإِنْسَانِ حِينَ يُخْتَمُ عَلَى الْأَفْوَاهِ فَخِذُهُ مِنَ الرِّجْلِ الْيَسَارِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Certainly, when a man is satisfied with the generosity and actions of another man, he is like him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا رَضِيَ هَدْيَ الرَّجُلِ وَعَمَلَهُ فَهُوَ مِثْلُهُ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said: "Indeed, the one who recites the Quran smoothly and easily is like the one who gives charity easily, and the one who recites the Quran loudly is like the one who publicly gives charity."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُسِرَّ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْمُسِرِّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَالْجَاهِرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالْجَاهِرِ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, the one who recites the Quran fluently is like the one who gives charity secretly, and the one who recites the Quran loudly is like the one who gives charity openly."  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ «إِنَّ الَّذِي يُسِرُّ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالَّذِي يُسِرُّ بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَالَّذِي يَجْهَرُ بِالْقُرْآنِ كَالَّذِي يَجْهَرُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ»  

[Machine] "I used to ride with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his camel during travel. He said, 'O Ukba, shall I teach you the two best Surahs to recite?' I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, please teach me.' He taught me and said, 'Say, I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind and say, I seek refuge with the Lord of daybreak.' When he recited them to me, I was amazed by them. Then, when he descended for Fajr prayer, he recited them for the people. After he finished his prayer, he turned to me and said, 'O Ukba, how did you find them?'"  

كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَاقَتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ سُورَتَيْنِ قُرِئَتَا؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَعَلِّمْنِي قَالَ فَعَلَّمَنِي قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَلَمْ يَرَنِي أُعْجَبْتُ بِهِمَا فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ صَلَّى بِهِمَا الصُّبْحَ لِلنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "Whoever fasts for a day in the cause of Allah, Allah will keep Hellfire away from him a distance of a hundred years of travel."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بَاعَدَ اللهُ مِنْهُ جَهَنَّمَ مَسِيرَةَ مِائَةِ عَامٍ»  

[Machine] Uqbah bin Amir, who was the companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and had the gray camel that he used to ride during journeys, said: "I was riding with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he was on his riding animal, Rotwah, in the middle of the night. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Get off.' So, I got off the riding animal. Then, he said, 'Ride, O Uqbah.' So, I said, 'Glory be to Allah! I ride with you?' He commanded me and said, 'Ride.' So, I repeated saying the same thing and hesitated several times until I feared disobeying the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So, I rode his riding animal. Then, he urged his she-camel and she stood up. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me from a distance using a small opening in his veil and said, 'O Uqbah, shall I teach you two surahs from the Qur'an that are the best of the Qur'an or among the best?' I said, 'Yes, by my father and mother, please teach me.' So, he taught me the Mu'awwidhatain. Then, he said, 'O Uqbah, when you see the dawn, inform me.' So, when I saw the dawn, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, this is the dawn.' Then, I dismounted his riding animal and performed ablution. Then, he stood up for prayer and took my hand and placed me on his right side and recited those two surahs in the Fajr prayer. Then, he turned towards me and said, 'O Uqbah, recite them every time you stand and every time you go to bed.'"  

عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ وَكَانَ صَاحِبَ بَغْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الشَّهْبَاءِ الَّذِي يَقُودُهَا فِي الْأَسْفَارِ قَالَ قُدْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ رَتْوَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «انْخِ» فَأَنَخْتُ فَنَزَلَ عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «ارْكَبْ يَا عُقْبَةُ» فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِكَ فَأَمَرَنِي فَقَالَ «ارْكَبْ» فَقُلْتُ أَيْضًا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَرَدَّدْتُ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا حَتَّى خِفْتُ أَنْ أَعْصِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَكِبْتُ رَاحِلَتَهُ ثُمَّ زَجَرَ نَاقَتَهُ فَقَامَتْ ثُمَّ نَادَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَقَبٍ مِنْ النِّقَابِ فَقَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ سُورَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ هُمَا أَفْضَلُ الْقُرْآنِ أَوْ مِنْ أَفْضَلِهِ؟» فَقُلْتُ بَلَى بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي فَعَلَّمَنِي الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْفَجْرَ فَأَعْلِمْنِي» فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ الْفَجْرَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا الْفَجْرُ فَأَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَجَعَلَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَقَرَأَ بِهِمَا فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ «يَا عُقْبَةُ اقْرَأْ بِهِمَا كُلَّمَا قُمْتَ وَنِمْتَ»  

[Machine] I came with twelve passengers until we shaded the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, "My companions, (some of you) take care of our camels while we depart and learn from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So, when we left, we took from what we heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I did that for some days, then I thought within myself and said, "Perhaps I am missing out on what my companions are hearing and learning from the Prophet of Allah ﷺ ." One day, I was present and the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever performs a complete ablution and then stands for his prayer, he will have his sins forgiven as if he was born on that day."  

جِئْتُ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَاكِبًا حَتَّى ظَلَّلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابِي تَرْعَى إِبِلَنَا وَنَنْطَلِقُ فَنَقْتَبِسَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا رُحْنَا اقْتَبَسْنَاكَ مِمَّا سَمِعْنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ أَيَّامًا ثُمَّ إِنِّي فَكَّرْتُ فِي نَفْسِي فَقُلْتُ لَعَلِّي مَغْبُونٌ يَسْمَعُ أَصْحَابِي مَا لَمْ أَسْمَعْ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا لَمْ أَتَعَلَّمْ مِنْ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَضَرَتُ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءًا كَامِلًا ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ كَانَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ»  

[Machine] A bay mare was gifted to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he mounted it and took hold of its reins. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Read." The person replied, "What should I read, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Say, 'I seek refuge with the Lord of daybreak.'" The person said, "I have not risen with anything similar to it while praying."  

أُهْدِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَغْلَةٌ شَهْبَاءُ فَرَكِبَهَا فَأَخَذَ عُقْبَةَ يَقُودُهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ» قَالَ مَا أَقْرَأُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَقَالَ «مَا قُمْتَ تُصَلِّي بِشَيْءٍ مِثْلِهَا»  

He asked the Prophet ﷺ about Al-Mua'awwidhatain. Uqbah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in praying Fajr and recited them." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 952)  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ قَالَ عُقْبَةَ «فَأَمَّنَا بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ»  

[Machine] He heard Uqbah bin Amir saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade wearing the Kuhl (antimony) and disliked drinking hot water. And when he applied Kuhl, he applied it to the right eye first, and when he performed Istijmar (cleaning the private parts after using the bathroom), he did it with an odd number of stones."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْكَيِّ وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ شُرْبَ مَاءِ الْحَمِيمِ وَكَانَ إِذَا اكْتَحَلَ اكْتَحَلَ وِتْرًا وَإِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ اسْتَجْمَرَ وِتْرًا»  

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated that Ibn Lahi'a has narrated from al-Harith bin Yazid, from Abdullah bin Jubayr, from 'Uqbah bin 'Amir, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you applies kohl, let him apply it three times, and when one of you performs istijmar, let him perform it three times."  

ثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا اكْتَحَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَكْتَحِلْ وِتْرًا وَإِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيَسْتَجْمِرْ وِتْرًا»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to "apply kohl to his eyes in odd numbers and wash his face in odd numbers."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «إِذَا اكْتَحَلَ اكْتَحَلَ وِتْرًا وَإِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ اسْتَجْمَرَ وِتْرًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, those who frequently partake in divorce and those who snatch away others' rights are the hypocrites."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْمُخْتَلِعَاتِ وَالْمُنْتَزِعَاتِ هُنَّ الْمُنَافِقَاتُ»  

“Whoever meets Allah (SWT) not associating anything in worship with him, and not having shed any blood unlawfully, will enter Paradise.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2618)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ لَقِيَ اللهَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَتَنَدَّ بِدَمٍ حَرَامٍ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Whoever performs ablution and does it perfectly, then prays a prayer with full consciousness until he finishes it, his sins will be forgiven as if he were born on that day."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى صَلَاةً يَعْقِلُهَا حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهَا فَإِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Pray in the sheepfolds and do not pray in the feeding troughs of the camels or in the areas where camels urinate."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «صَلُّوا فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ وَلَا تُصَلُّوا فِي أَعْطَانِ الْإِبِلِ أَوْ مَبَارِكِ الْإِبِلِ»  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "There are two expressions that are beloved to Allah and are hated by Allah. One of them is when a person says, 'Ghayrallah' and the other is when he says, 'Ajwal Allah.' As regards the garment, it is to wear a long one dragging on the ground and the proud people take pride in it and Allah will not look at them (i.e., on the Day of Resurrection)."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ غَيْرَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا يُحِبُّهَا اللهُ وَالْأُخْرَى يُبْغِضُهَا اللهُ وَمَخِيلَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا يُحِبُّهَا اللهُ وَالْأُخْرَى يُبْغِضُهَا اللهُ الْغَيْرَةُ فِي الرَّمْيَةِ يُحِبُّهَا اللهُ ﷻ وَالْغَيْرَةُ فِي غَيْرِهِ يُبْغِضُهَا اللهُ وَالْمَخِيلَةُ إِذَا تَصَدَّقَ الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّهَا اللهُ وَالْمَخِيلَةُ فِي الْكِبْرِ يُبْغِضُهَا اللهُ وَقَالَ «ثَلَاثٌ يُسْتَجَابُ دَعْوَتْهُمْ الْوَالِدُ وَالْمُسَافِرُ وَالْمَظْلُومُ» وَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ الْجَنَّةَ ثَلَاثَةً صَانِعَهُ وَمُهْدِيَهُ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah can admit a person into heaven with just one arrow. Its maker will have good intentions in making it, the one who shoots it, and the one who guides it." He also said, "Throw and ride, and I prefer that you throw rather than ride. Everything that a person engages in for amusement is futile, except for his training with his horse, shooting arrows with his bow, and interacting with his spouse."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَيُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَالْمُهْدِيَ بِهِ» وَقَالَ «ارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ يَلْهُو بِهِ الرَّجُلُ فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ إلَّا تَأْدِيبَهُ فَرَسَهُ وَرَمْيَهُ بِقَوْسِهِ وَمُلَاعَبَتَهُ امْرَأَتَهُ»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah, Most High, will cause three persons to enter Paradise for one arrow: the maker when he has a good motive in making it, the one who shoots it, and the one who hands it; so shoot and ride, but your shooting is dearer to me than your riding. Everything with which a man amuses himself is vain except three (things): a man's training of his horse, his playing with his wife, and his shooting with his bow and arrow. If anyone abandons archery after becoming an adept through distaste for it, it is a blessing he has abandoned; or he said: for which he has been ungrateful. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2513)  

حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُدْخِلُ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ وَمُنْبِلَهُ وَارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا وَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللهْوِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ تَأْدِيبُ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ وَمُلَاعَبَتُهُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَرَمْيُهُ بِقَوْسِهِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَمَا عَلِمَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهَا نِعْمَةٌ كَفَرَهَا أَوْ تَرَكَهَا  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Shall I not tell you about the best thing that those who seek refuge recite? Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak,' and say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَفْضَلِ مَا يَتَعَوَّذُ بِهِ الْمُتَعَوِّذُونَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ»  

[Machine] He went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Battle of Tabuk, and the grazing was on me and on a companion of mine. So I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ alone and people had gathered around him. So I said to my companion, "Cover me until I sit with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and listen to him." So I went to him and I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever performs ablution and perfects its performance, then prays two Rak'ahs [units of prayer] in which he devotes himself solely to Allah, then nothing will distract him [in his prayer], all his sins will leave him just as he was born from his mother."  

أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ وَكَانَ الرَّعْيُ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى صَاحِبٍ لِي فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَالِيًا وَقَدْ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَقُلْتُ لِصَاحِبِي اكْفِنِي حَتَّى أَجْلِسَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَسْمَعَ مِنْهُ فَجِئْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُقْبِلُ فِيهِمَا عَلَيْهِ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ شَيْءٌ؛ خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَمَا وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ»  

the Messenger of Allah divided some sacrificial animals among his Companions, and I got a Jadh'ah sheep. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I got a Jadh'ah sheep.' He said: 'Sacrifice it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4380)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَسَمَ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ ضَحَايَا فَصَارَتْ لِي جَذَعَةٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَارَتْ لِي جَذَعَةٌ قَالَ «ضَحِّ بِهَا»  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ distributed the sacrificial animals among his companions, and a part came to me, so he said, "Sacrifice it."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَسَمَ الْأَضَاحِيَّ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ وَأَصَابَتْنِي جَذَعَةٌ فَقَالَ «ضَحِّ بِهَا»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ distributed sacrificial animals among his companions. Ukba narrated that he received a part of a slaughtered animal, so he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I received a part of a slaughtered animal." The Prophet said, "Sacrifice it (for Allah)."  

قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ضَحَايَا بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ عُقْبَةَ فَصَارَتْ لِي جَذَعَةٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَارَتْ لِي جَذَعَةٌ قَالَ «ضَحِّ بِهَا»  

[Machine] "Narrated by Uqbah ibn Amir Abu 'Abis al-Juhani: I was with the Messenger of Allah in an army, and I went away from my companions during midday. When I returned to them, they were talking among themselves saying, 'We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the Mu'adhdhin (one who calls the Adhan) called out the Adhan, saying, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' So they were discussing it.'"  

عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ أَبِي عَابِسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ فِي جَيْشٍ فَسَرَحْتُ ظَهْرَ أَصْحَابِي فَلَمَّا رُحْتُ لَهُ أَتَى أَصْحَابِي يَتَبَادَرُونَ يَقُولُونَ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَقَالَ «أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ» فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ الْحَدِيثِ  

[Machine] While I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said to me, "Say, 'O 'Uqbah.'" I said to him, "What should I say?" Then he remained silent to me. I said to myself, "If he repeats it to me, I will say as he said." So he said to me, "Say." Then he recited: "Say: I seek refuge with (Allah) the Lord of the daybreak," until he finished it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No one has asked with this supplication before, nor has anyone sought refuge with it before."  

بَيْنَمَا أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ قَالَ لِي «قُلْ يَا عُقْبَةُ» قُلْتُ لَهُ وَمَا أَقُولُ؟ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ عَنِّي قَالَ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي لَئِنْ أَعَادَهَا عَلَيَّ لَأَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي «قُلْ» فَقَرَأَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا سَأَلَ سَائِلٌ وَمَا اسْتَعَاذَ مُسْتَعِيذٌ بِمِثْلِهَا»  

White I was travelling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ between al-Juhfah and al-Abwa', a wind and intense darkness enveloped us, whereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to seek refuge in Allah, reciting: "I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn," and "I seek refuge in the Lord of men." He then said: Uqbah, use them when seeking refuge in Allah, for no one can use anything to compare with them for the purpose. Uqbah added: I heard him reciting them when he led the people in prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1463)  

بَيْنَا أَنَا أَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْجُحْفَةِ وَالْأَبْوَاءِ إِذْ غَشِيَتْنَا رِيحٌ وَظُلْمَةٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَعَوَّذُ بِأَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَأَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ وَيَقُولُ «يَا عُقْبَةُ تَعَوَّذْ فَمَا تَعَوَّذَ مُتَعَوِّذٌ بِمِثْلِهَا» قَالَ ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ يَؤُمُّنَا بِهِمَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "You will not recite a chapter (Surah) that is more beloved to me and more beneficial than 'Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak (Falaq).' If you are able to not leave it in any prayer, then do so."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَ سُورَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ وَلَا أَبْلَغَ مِنْ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَدَعَهَا فِي صَلَاةٍ فَافْعَلْ»  

[Machine] Narrated al-Qa'nabi, on the authority of Abd al-Aziz ibn Muhammad, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Salman, on the authority of Mu'adh ibn Abdullah ibn Khubayb, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Uqbah ibn Amir al-Juhani, that he said: While I was riding with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in one of his campaigns, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Say, O Uqbah." I said, "What shall I say?" He repeated it three times, and I said, "What shall I say?" He said, "Say, 'He is Allah, [who is] One.'" So, he recited the Surah until he completed it. Then, he recited, 'Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak.'" I recited it with him until he completed it. Then, he recited, 'Say, 'I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.'" I recited it with him until he completed it. Then, he said, "By what do you seek refuge?"  

ثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِِ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَاحِلَتََهُ فِي غَزْوَةٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قُلْ يَا عُقْبَةُ» قُلْتُ مَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ قُلْتُ مَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَرَأَ السُّورَةَ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقَرَأْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ وَقَرَأْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَا تُعُوِّذَ بِمِثْلِهِنَّ»  

'We sacrificed a Jadh'ah sheep with the Messenger of Allah." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4382)  

«ضَحَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِجِذَاعِ الضَّأْنِ»  

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the trunk of the sheep, and he said, "Sacrifice it."  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْجَذَعِ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ فَقَالَ «ضَحِّ بِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "After me, there will be leaders who will lead you in prayer. If they complete the rukoo' and prostration, it is for you and for them. But if they decrease from it, it is for you and against them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي أُمَرَاءُ يُصَلُّونَ بِكُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِنْ أَتَمُّوا رُكُوعَهَا وَسُجُودَهَا فَلَكُمْ وَلَهُمْ وَإِنِ انْتَقَصُوا مِنْهَا فَلَكُمْ وَعَلَيْهِمْ»  

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and we were taking turns herding the livestock. When it was my turn, I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was delivering a sermon to the people. I heard him say, "There is no Muslim who performs ablution and then glorifies Allah (by saying SubhanAllah), stands up for prayer, and knows what he says in it, except that his sins will be forgiven and he will be as pure as the day his mother gave birth to him." I did not have the courage to say anything at that moment.  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ وَكُنَّا نَتَنَاوَبُ الرَّعِيَّةَ فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ نَوْبَتِي جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُسَبِّحُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَيَعْلَمُ مَا يَقُولُ فِيهَا إِلَّا يُقْبِلُ وَهُوَ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ ذَنْبٌ» فَمَا مَلَكْتُ نَفْسِي عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ قُلْتُ بَخٍ بَخٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said to Uqbah, "Recite them in your prayer when you pray, for you do not recite anything like them, meaning the Mu'awwidhatayn (Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas)."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِعُقْبَةَ «اقْرَأْ بِهِمَا فِي صَلَاتِكَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَقْرَأُ بِمِثْلِهِمَا يَعْنِي الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ »  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed a caretaker for us for three days."  

«جَعَلَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عُهْدَةَ الرَّقِيقِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the guardian marries, it is for the first."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا نَكَحَ الْوَلِيَّانِ فَهُوَ لِلْأَوَّلِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he said, "Whichever woman is married by two guardians, she belongs to the first of them."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ زَوَّجَهَا وَلِيَّانِ فَهِيَ لِلْأَوَّلِ مِنْهُمَا»  

[Machine] I did not come to visit you, but I have heard a conversation from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that I was with him on that day. He said, "Whoever knows a bad thing about his brother and covers it, Allah will cover him on the Day of Resurrection."  

لَمْ آتِكَ زَائِرًا وَلَكِنْ حَدِيثٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كُنْتَ مَعِي يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ «مَنْ عَلِمَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ سَيِّئَةً فَسَتَرَهَا عَلَيْهِ سَتَرَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
