[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : There was a man who used to pray, and when he prostrated, another man came to him and stepped on his neck, saying, "By Allah, he will never be forgiven!" Allah تعالى said, "My servant has expressed that I will not forgive him, but I have forgiven him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي فَلَمَّا سَجَدَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ فَقَالَ الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ وَاللهِ لَا يُغْفَرُ لَهُ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ اللهُ ﷻ تَأَلَّى عَلَيَّ عَبْدِي أَنْ لَا أَغْفِرَ لِعَبْدِي فَإِنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited two types of fasting, two types of prayers, two types of clothing, two types of eating, two types of marriage contracts, and two types of sales contracts. As for the two days, they are the day of Eid al-Fitr and the day of Eid al-Adha. As for the two prayers, they are the prayer after dawn until the sun rises, and the prayer after Asr until the sun sets. As for the two types of clothing, it is for a person to make himself modest in one garment without having anything between his private parts and the sky, and this is called "the lower garment". As for the two types of eating, it is for a person to eat with his right hand and drink with his left hand, and to eat while reclining. As for the two types of sales contracts, a man says to another man, "Sell to me and I will sell to you." As for the two types of marriage contracts, it is the marriage of adultery and the marriage of a man to his paternal or maternal aunt.  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَوْمَيْنِ وَعَنْ صَلَاتَيْنِ وَعَنْ لِبَاسَيْنِ وَعَنْ مَطْعَمَيْنِ وَعَنْ نِكَاحَيْنِ وَعَنْ بَيْعَتَيْنِ فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَانِ فَيَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ وَيَوْمُ الْأَضْحَى وَأَمَّا الصَّلَاتَانِ فَصَلَاةٌ بَعْدَ الْغَدَاةِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ وَصَلَاةٌ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ وَأَمَّا اللِّبَاسَانِ فَأنْ يَحْتَبِيَ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلَا يَكُونَ بَيْنَ عَوْرَتِهِ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ شَيْءٌ فَتُدْعَى تِلْكَ الصَّمَّاءَ وَأَمَّا الْمَطْعَمَانِ فَأَنْ يَأْكُلَ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيَمِينُهُ صَحِيحَةٌ وَيَأْكُلَ مُتَّكِئًا وَأَمَّا الْبَيْعَتَانِ فَيَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ تَبِيعُ لِي وَأَبِيعُ لَكَ وَأَمَّا النِّكَاحَانِ فَنِكَاحُ الْبَغِيِّ وَنِكَاحٌ عَلَى الْخَالَةِ وَالْعَمَّةِ  

“Ask Allah of His Bounty. For verily, Allah the Mighty and Sublime, loves to be asked, and the best of worship is awaiting relief.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3571)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «سَلُوا اللهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُسْأَلَ وَأَفْضَلُ الْعِبَادَةِ انْتِظَارُ الْفَرَجِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: He who is asked something he knows and conceals it will have a bridle of fire put on him on the Day of Resurrection. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3658)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سُئِلَ عَنْ عِلْمٍ فَكَتَمَهُ أُلْجِمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Quran was revealed in seven different ways."

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَا شَيَّبَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «هُودٌ وَالْوَاقِعَةُ»  

[Machine] We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ, a man stood up and accidentally stepped on another man's foot. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Make space." The man asked, "What does 'make space' mean, O Messenger of Allah? Did I eat my brother's flesh?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Indeed, you have eaten your brother's flesh."  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَوَقَعَ فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تَخَلَّلْ» قَالَ وَمَا أَتَخَلَّلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكَلْتُ لَحْمًا؟ قَالَ «إِنَّكَ أَكَلْتَ لَحْمَ أَخِيكَ»  

Food for one suffices two and food for two suffices for four. (Using translation from Muslim 2059c)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «طَعَامُ الْوَاحِدِ يَكْفِي الِاثْنَيْنِ وَطَعَامُ الِاثْنَيْنِ يَكْفِي الْأَرْبَعَةَ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Verily, some forms of speech are magic."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا»  

[Machine] "We have been commanded to establish the prayer and give the zakat, so whoever does not give zakat, there is no prayer for him."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to invoke with these words: "O Allah, I ask You for guidance, righteousness, chastity, and sufficiency."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدْعُو بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعِفَّةَ وَالْغِنَى»  

The Last Hour would affect (most terribly) the wicked persons. (Using translation from Muslim 2949)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The prayer of a man in congregation is worth twenty-five times the prayer of a man alone."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «صَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ تَزِيدُ عَلَى صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ وَحْدَهُ بِضْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ صَلَاةً»

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Abusing a Muslim is Fusuq (an evil doing) and killing him is Kufr (disbelief)." (Using translation from Bukhārī 48)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «سِبَابُ الْمُسْلِمِ فُسُوقٌ وَقِتَالُهُ كَفَرٌ»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "If I were to take a close friend, I would have chosen Abu Bakr as my friend. However, he is my brother and companion, but Allah has taken your companions as friends."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنْ أَخِي وَصَاحِبِي وَقَدِ اتَّخَذَ اللهُ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلًا»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "If I were to take a close friend, I would have chosen Abu Bakr as my close friend. However, your close friend is Allah."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلُ اللهِ»

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ خَلِيلُ اللهِ»  

[Machine] The reading of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was known in the afternoon and the evening by the movement of his beard.  

«كَانَتْ قِرَاءَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تُعْرَفُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِتَحْرِيكِ لِحْيَتِهِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever kills a snake, it is as if he has killed a polytheist man, for his blood has settled."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ قَتَلَ حَيَّةً فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مُشْرِكًا قَدْ حَلَّ دَمُهُ»  

[Machine] We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the monkeys and the pigs from the offspring of the Jews, who are they? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has never cursed a people, made them monkeys and pigs, and they had offspring until they were destroyed. However, this was a creation that existed. So when Allah became angry with the Jews, He made them similar to them."  

سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ مِنْ نَسْلِ الْيَهُودِ هُمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ لَمْ يَلْعَنْ قَوْمًا قَطُّ فَمَسَخَهُمْ فَكَانَ لَهُمْ نَسْلٌ حَتَّى يُهْلِكَهُمْ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا خَلْقٌ كَانَ فَلَمَّا غَضِبَ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ مَسَخَهُمْ فَجَعَلَهُمْ مِثْلَهُمْ»  

[Machine] "He does not like the wide/uncrowded space of the two arms with blood; for it has a killer in the sight of God who does not die. And it does not please you that a person earns money from forbidden (illegitimate) means, so if he spends from it, it will not be accepted from him, and if he withholds it, it will not be blessed for him. And if he dies and leaves it, it will become his provision for the fire."  

«لَا يُعْجِبْكَ رَحْبُ الذِّرَاعَيْنِ بِالدَّمِ؛ فَإِنَّ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ قَاتِلًا لَا يَمُوتُ وَلَا يُعْجِبْكَ امْرُؤٌ كَسَبَ مَالًا مِنْ حَرَامٍ فَإِنْ أَنْفَقَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يُقْبَلْ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ أَمْسَكَ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيهِ وَإِنْ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَهُ كَانَ زَادَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that the disbeliever will be held accountable on the Day of Judgment to the point that his perspiration will restrain him, to the extent that he will say, 'O Lord, relieve me even if it is to the Fire'."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْكَافِرَ لَيُحَاسَبُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُلْجِمَهُ الْعَرَقُ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَرِحْنِي وَلَوْ إِلَى النَّارِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever swears an intentional oath to wrongfully cut off the wealth of a Muslim, he will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection while He is angry with him." He recited the verse, "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price..." Yazid ibn Ibrahim raised his hand, but Hammad ibn Zaid did not raise his.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرٍ مُتَعَمِّدًا لِيَقْطَعَ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ لَقِيَ اللهَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ» وَقَرَأَ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} الْآيَةَ رَفَعَهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ  

[Machine] Anyone who swears deliberately by a false oath in order to wrongfully take the wealth of a Muslim, then they will meet Allah while He is angry with them.  

«منْ حَلَفَ عَلَى يَمِينٍ صَبْرٍ مُتَعَمِّدًا فِيهَا لِإِثْمٍ لِيَقْتَطِعَ بِهَا مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ لَقِيَ اللهَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ»  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , he said: 'A woman is a private part and when she goes out, the devil seeks to glimpse her. And she is the closest to Allah while she is in the deepest part of her home.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمَرْأَةُ عَوْرَةٌ وَإِنَّهَا إِذَا خَرَجَتِ اسْتَشْرَفَهَا الشَّيْطَانُ وَإِنَّهَا أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ إِلَى اللهِ وَهِيَ فِي قَعْرِ بَيْتِهَا»  

The Prophet ﷺ used to recite the following in the Fajr prayer of Friday, "Alif, Lam, Mim, Tanzil" (Suratas- Sajda #32) and "Hal-ata-ala-l-Insani" (i.e. Surah-Ad-Dahr #76). (Using translation from Bukhārī 891)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْم تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةَ وَهَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ»  

“Subhanak Allahumma wa bi hamdika, wa tabarakas- muka wa ta’ala jadduka, wa la ilaha ghayruk (Glory and praise is to You, O Allah, blessed is Your Name and exalted is Your majesty, none has the right to be worshipped but You).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 806)  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا افْتَتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ who said: "No one with moderation can be burdened."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا عَالَ مَنِ اقْتَصَدَ»  

[Machine] "I swear by nine that the Ibn Sayyad is the Dajjal is more beloved to me than swearing by one, and I swear by nine that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was martyred is more beloved to me than swearing by one that he was not martyred because Allah made him a prophet and took him as a martyr."  

«لَأَنْ أَحْلِفَ تِسْعًا أَنَّ ابْنَ صَيَّادٍ هُوَ الدَّجَّالُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَحْلِفَ وَاحِدَةً وَلَأَنْ أَحْلِفَ تِسْعَةً أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَحْلِفَ وَاحِدَةً أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْتَلْ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ جَعَلَهُ نَبِيًّا وَاتَّخَذَهُ شَهِيدًا»  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying, so I greeted him, but he did not respond to me. When he finished his prayer, he said: "Verily, Allah informs His Prophet of what He wills, and one of the things He has informed me is to not speak during the prayer."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُحْدِثُ لِنَبِيِّهِ مَا شَاءَ وَإِنَّهُ مِمَّا أَحْدَثَ لَهُ أَنْ لَا تَكَلَّمُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ»  

[Machine] We used to talk during prayer, greeting each other and indicating our needs. One day, I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying, so I greeted him but he did not respond to me. He gestured to me what had happened and what was said. When he finished, he said, "Indeed, Allah speaks of His affairs as He wills, and He has informed me that you should not speak during prayer."  

كُنَّا نَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ يُسَلِّمُ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَيُومِئُ أَحَدُنَا بِالْحَاجَةِ فَجِئْتُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَأَخَذَنِي مَا قَدُمَ وَمَا حَدُثَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُحْدِثُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا شَاءَ وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَحْدَثَ أَنْ لَا تَتَكَلَّمُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ»  

[Machine] Ibn Masud, we used to say salaam to the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying, and he would respond to us. But when I returned from Abyssinia, I said salaam to him and he did not respond to me. He then started narrating to me everything, whatever had passed and what happened in my absence. Then I waited for him until he finished his prayer, and I mentioned that incident to him. He said: Verily, Allah speaks whatever He wills and He has spoken to me. And He informed me that I should not speak during the prayer.  

ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَيَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا فَلَمَّا جِئْتُ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا فَأَخَذَنِي مَا تَقَدَّمَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ ثُمَّ انْتَظَرْتُهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ يُحَدِثُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا شَاءَ وَإِنَّهُ قَضَى أَوْ قَالَ أَحْدَثَ أَنْ لَا تَكَلَّمُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] We used to speak during prayer and greet each other, and one of us would indicate to his companion about a need. So, one day I came and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying, so I greeted him but he did not respond to me. He held me by the shoulders and told me what was before and what will happen. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished, he said, "Verily, Allah speaks of His affairs as He wills, and indeed He has ordered that you do not speak during the prayer."  

كُنَّا نَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَيُسَلِّمُ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَيُومِئُ أَحَدُنَا لِصَاحِبِهِ بِالْحَاجَةِ فَجِئْتُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَأَخَذَنِي مَا قَدُمَ وَمَا حَدُثَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ يُحْدِثُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ وَقَدْ أَحْدَثَ أَنْ لَا تَكَلَّمُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ»  

[Machine] People used to return greetings to each other in prayer, until Ibn Mas'ud greeted the Prophet ﷺ and he did not respond. So Ibn Mas'ud felt sad, thinking that something might have happened to him. When the Prophet ﷺ finished his prayer, he mentioned that to Ibn Mas'ud, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, in prayer, there is occupation, and it is sufficient as occupation."  

كَانَ النَّاسُ يَرُدُّ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ السَّلَامَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى سَلَّمَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَعَدَ حَزِينًا يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ نَزَلَ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ فَلَمَّا قَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلَاتَهُ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَشُغْلًا وَكَفَى بِالصَّلَاةِ شُغْلًا»  

[Machine] "He went out to the land of Abyssinia and the people would greet each other in the prayer. When Abdullah returned, he greeted the Prophet ﷺ but did not receive a response. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished and left, he said, 'I seek refuge in Allah from the anger of Allah and the anger of His Messenger. I greeted you and you did not respond.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, in prayer there is focus.'"  

أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ وَالنَّاسُ يُسَلِّمُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ سَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ غَضَبِ اللهِ وَغَضَبِ رَسُولِهِ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَمْ تُرَدَّ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَشُغْلًا»  

We used to greet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was engaged in prayer and he would respond to our greeting. But when we returned from the Negus we greeted him and he did not respond to us; so we said: Messenger of Allah. we used to greet you when you were engaged in prayer and you would respond to us. He replied: Prayer demands whole attention. (Using translation from Muslim 538a)  

كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَيَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّجَاشِيِّ سَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَتُرَدَّ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ «إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شُغْلًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, in prayer there is occupation."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شُغْلًا»  

[Machine] He used to send greetings upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was praying, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would respond to him with greetings. Then, he sent greetings upon him while he was praying, but he did not respond to him. Abdullah thought this was due to a reason from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When he finished, Abdullah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I used to send greetings upon you while you were praying and you would respond to me, but today I sent greetings upon you and you did not respond to me. I thought there might be a reason for that." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No, but we were forbidden from speaking during prayer except with the Quran and remembrance."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَظَنَّ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مَوْجِدَةٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنْتُ أُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي فَتُرَدُّ عَلَيَّ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَمْ تُرَدَّ عَلَيَّ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مَوْجِدَةٍ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنَّا نُهِينَا عَنِ الْكَلَامِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا بِالْقُرْآنِ وَالذِّكْرِ»  

[Machine] We used to greet the Prophet ﷺ during prayer, and he would reply to us. But one day, I greeted him and he didn't reply to me. So, I asked him about it, and he said, "Allah ﷻ does as He wishes in His affairs."  

كُنَّا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْنَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُحْدِثُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا شَاءَ»  

[Machine] We used to talk during prayer, greeting each other. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah speaks to His people in whatever way He wills, and He has just decreed that you should not speak during Salah."  

كُنَّا نَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ يُسَلِّمُ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُحْدِثُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا شَاءَ وَقَدْ أَحْدَثَ أَنْ لَا تَكَلَّمُوا فِي الصَّلَاةِ»  

[Machine] I went out for a need, and some of us greeted each other in the prayer, then I returned and greeted, but he did not respond to me and said, "There is indeed a distraction in prayer."  

خَرَجْتُ فِي حَاجَةٍ وَبَعْضُنَا يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لَشُغْلًا»  

[Machine] I was hidden behind the curtains of the Kaaba when three individuals arrived: Thaqafi and two Qurayshi men, who were extremely fat but lacked knowledge. They engaged in conversation, and one of them said, "Do you think Allah hears what we say?" The other replied, "If we raise our voices, He hears us, but if we lower them, He does not." The third said, "If He hears us when we raise our voices, then He surely hears us when we lower them." I then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of this. Allah revealed the verse {And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allah does not know much of what you do} until [the phrase] {from the losers}. This narration is reported by Sufyan al-Thawri, while Abu Muawiya and the companions of al-A'mash disagree with him.  

إِنِّي لَمُسْتَتِرٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ إِذْ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ؛ ثَقَفِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ بُطُونِهِمْ قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُهُمْ فَتَحَدَّثُوا الْحَدِيثَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ تَرَى اللهَ يَسْمَعُ مَا قُلْنَا؟ قَالَ الْآخَرُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا يَسْمَعُ وَإِذَا خَفَضْنَا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا خَفَضْنَا فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَمَا كُنْتُمُ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ وَلَكِنْ ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنَّ اللهَ لَا يَعْلَمُ كَثِيرًا مِمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ} هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَخَالَفَهُ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَصْحَابُ الْأَعْمَشِ  

[Machine] Abdullah, I was hiding behind the curtains of the Kaaba when three individuals came, their bellies were full but their understanding was little. One was from the Quraysh, and the other two were from the Thaqif. They spoke in a language that I did not understand. One of them said, "Do you think Allah hears our conversation?" The other replied, "When we raise our voices, he hears them, but if we don't raise them, he won't hear." The third individual said, "If he hears anything from us, he hears everything." I mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and then Allah revealed the verse, "And you were not hiding yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins" (Quran 41:22).  

عَبْدُ اللهِ كُنْتُ مُسْتَتِرًا بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ فَجَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ بُطُونِهِمْ قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُ قُلُوبِهِمْ قُرَشِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ ثَقَفِيَّانِ أَوْ ثَقَفِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ فَتَكَلَّمُوا بِكَلَامٍ لَمْ أَفْقَهْهُ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ تَرَى اللهَ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَنَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا أَصْوَاتَنَا سَمِعَهَا فَإِذَا لَمْ نَرْفَعْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنْ سَمِعَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ كُلَّهُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ} الْآيَةَ  

[Machine] "I was hiding behind the Kaaba's cover, and in the mosque, there was a man from Thaqeef who had been circumcised by the Quraishites. He said, 'Do you think Allah can hear our whispers?' One of them said, 'He can hear us when we raise our voices.' The other one said, 'If He can hear us when we raise our voices, then He can hear us when we lower them.' Ibn Mas'ud said, 'So I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of what they said.' So Allah revealed the verse, 'And you were not covering yourselves lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins,' until the end of the verse. And Ibn Mas'ud differed from them."  

كُنْتُ مُسْتَتِرًا بِحِجَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَفِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ فَقَالَ تَرَوْنَ اللهَ يَسْمَعُ دَنْدَنَتَنَا؟ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَنْ يَسْمَعَ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا لَيَسْمَعَنَّ إِذَا خَفَضْنَا قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَخَالَفَهُمُ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ  

[Machine] Three people sat at the door of the Kaaba, two from the Quraysh and a Thaqafi. One of them whispered something to another, saying, "Do you think Allah hears what we say?" One of them replied, "As for what we speak aloud, He hears, and as for what we whisper, He also hears." Then, Allah revealed the verse, "And you were not concealing yourselves" (Quran, 2:33).  

جَلَسَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ قُرَشِيَّانِ وَثَقَفِيٌّ أَوْ ثَقَفِيَّانِ وَقُرَشِيٌّ فَأَسَرَّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ بِأَمْرٍ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَتَرَوْنَ اللهَ يَسْمَعُ مَا نَقُولُ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَمَّا مَا جَهَرْنَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ مَا جَهَرْنَا بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ مَا أَسْرَرْنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ} الْآيَةَ  

[Machine] Abdullah, I have performed two units of prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, two units with Abu Bakr, and two units with Umar, then our paths separated. I wish I had two accepted units of prayer from the four units.  

عَبْدُ اللهِ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَمَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَمَعَ عُمَرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَفَرَّقَتْ بِكُمُ الطُّرُقُ فَلَيْتَ حَظِّي مِنْ أَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مُتَقَبَّلَتَيْنِ
