19.3 Ibn Masud ᴿᴬ (contd …)
١٩۔٣ بَابُ مَنْ رَوَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ
أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, there is wisdom in poetry and enchantment in speech."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْبَيَانِ سِحْرًا»
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed some poetry is wisdom" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2844)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنَ الشِّعْرِ حِكْمَةً»
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "Take care of the Quran, as it is more intense in its divisions than the chests of men are with regards to their most beloved camels returning to their homelands."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تَعَاهَدُوا الْقُرْآنَ؛ فَلَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَصِّيًا مِنْ صُدُورِ الرِّجَالِ مِنْ نَوَازِعِ الْإِبِلِ إِلَى أَوْطَانِهَا»
When the Prophet ﷺ said: "Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him),' he said: "Allahumma Rabbana wa lakal-hamd, mil'as-samawati wa mil'al-ardi wa mil'ama shi'ta min shai'in ba'd ( O Allah, our Lord, to You be the Praise, filling the heavens, filling the Earth, and filling whatever else You will.)" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1066)
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا قَالَ «سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ» قَالَ «اللهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِلْءُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمِلْءُ الْأَرْضِ وَمِلْءُ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدُ أَهْلَ الثَّنَاءِ»
[Machine] "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and the people said, 'Marry us.' He said, 'Who will wake us up?' I said, 'I will guard and wake you up.' So, I slept and they slept, and we did not wake up until the sun rose on our heads. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the last among us to get up, so he performed ablution and the people prayed two Rak'ahs, then they prayed Fajr (the dawn prayer)."
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ عَرِّسْ بِنَا فَقَالَ «مَنْ يُوقِظُنَا؟» فَقُلْتُ أَنَا أَحْرُسُكُمْ وَأُوقِظُكُمْ فَنِمْتُ وَنَامُوا فَمَا اسْتَيْقَظْنَا إِلَّا بِحَرِّ الشَّمْسِ فِي رُءُوسِنَا فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ آخِرَنَا فَقَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَالْقَوْمُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "How are you while you and three-quarters of the people of Paradise are equal?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "How are you while one-third of it is for you?" They said, "That is even better." He said, "How are you while half of it is for you?" They said, "That is even better." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The people of Paradise are divided into one hundred ranks, and you are among eighty ranks."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ وَرُبُعُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ لَكُمْ وَلِسَائِرِ النَّاسِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَرْبَاعِهَا؟» قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ وَثُلُثُهَا؟» قَالُوا ذَاكَ أَكْثَرُ قَالَ «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ وَالشَّطْرُ؟» قَالُوا ذَاكَ أَكْثَرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ عِشْرُونَ وَمِائَةُ صَفٍّ أَنْتُمْ مِنْهَا ثَمَانُونَ صَفًّا»
[Machine] Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Hunayn. The people turned away from him, but I remained with him along with eighty migrants and Ansar. We were retreating, our backs towards them, for a distance of about eighty steps, and they did not catch up to us even though they were the ones upon whom Allah sent tranquility. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was riding his mule and it stumbled, causing him to lean forward. I held him up and said, "May Allah exalt your rank." He said, "Prolong a handful of clay for me." He then took it and threw it at their faces, and their eyes were filled with dust. He asked, "Where are the migrants and the Ansar?" I said, "They are right here." He said, "Call out to them." So I called out to them, and they came with their swords in their hands as if they were shooting stars. The polytheists turned and fled.
عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَوَلَّى عَنْهُ النَّاسُ وَبَقِيتُ مَعَهُ فِي ثَمَانِينَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ فَتَنَكَّصْنَا عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا نَحْوًا مِنْ ثَمَانِينَ قَدَمًا وَلَمْ نُوَلِّهِمْ الدُّبُرَ وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةَ قَالَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْضِي عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ قُدُمًا قَالَ فَحَادَتْ بِهِ بَغْلَتُهُ فَمَالَ عَنِ السَّرْجِ فَشَدَدْتُ نَحْوَهُ قُلْتُ ارْتَفِعْ رَفَعَكَ اللهُ قَالَ «نَاوِلْنِي كَفًّا مِنْ تُرَابٍ» فَضَرَبَ بِهِ وُجُوهَهُمْ فَامْتَلَأَتْ أَعْيُنَهُمْ تُرَابًا قَالَ «أَيْنَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ؟» قُلْتُ هُمْ أَوْلَى قَالَ «اهْتِفْ بِهِمْ» فَهَتَفْتُ بِهِمْ فَجَاءُوا سُيُوفُهُمْ بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمُ الشُّهُبُ فَوَلَّى الْمُشْرِكُونَ أَدْبَارَهَمْ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No Muslim is ever afflicted with any worry, grief, or distress, and says: 'Allahumma inni 'abduka, wa ibn 'abdika, wa ibn amatika, nasīyatī bi-yadika, mādin fiyya hukmuka, 'adlun fiyya qadā'uka, as'aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw anzaltahu fi kitabika, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, awi ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilmil-ghaybi 'indaka an taj'alal-Qur'āna rabī'a qalbi, wa nūra basari, wa jalā'a huznī wa dhahāba hammi', Illa adhhaba Allahu hamahu wa abadala hu makan huznih farahan." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, should we not learn these words?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Yes, whoever hears them should learn them."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا أَصَابَ مُسْلِمًا قَطُّ هَمٌ أَوْ حُزْنٌ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي وَنُورَ بَصَرِي وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي إِلَّا أَذْهَبَ اللهُ هَمَّهُ وَأَبْدَلَهُ مَكَانَ حُزْنِهِ فَرَحًا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلَا نَتَعَلَّمُ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى يَنْبَغِي لِمَنْ سَمِعَهُنَّ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَهُنَّ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Let your home be spacious for you and weep over your sins, and control your tongue."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لِيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ وَابْكِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ خَطِيئَتِكَ وَامْلِكْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever forgets to mention the name of Allah in the beginning of his meal, let him say it when he remembers, saying 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah) at the beginning and at the end of it, for then he will have a new meal and any evil that was destined for him will be prevented from reaching him."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ نَسِيَ أَنْ يَذْكُرَ اسْمَ اللهِ فِي أَوَّلِ طَعَامِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ حِينَ يَذْكُرُ بِسْمِ اللهِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَآخِرِهِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتَقْبِلُ طَعَامًا جَدِيدًا وَيَمْنَعُ الْخَبِيثَ مَا كَانَ يُصِيبُ مِنْهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Kill all snakes, whoever leaves them out of fear for their revenge, he is not one of us."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ كُلَّهُنَّ مَنْ تَرَكَهُنَّ خَشْيَةَ ثَأْرِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The lifespan of Islam will be thirty-five years or thirty-six years or thirty-seven years. If they perish, then the way of those who perish (before them) will perish. And if they remain, they will remain for seventy years."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَدُورُ رَحَى الْإِسْلَامِ رَأْسَ خَمْسٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ سِتٍّ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ سَبْعٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ فَإِنْ هَلَكُوا فَسَبِيلُ مَنْ هَلَكَ وَإِنْ بَقُوا بَقُوا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Ibn Mas'ood!" I said, "Labbaik (at your service), three times." He said, "Do you know which ties of faith are the strongest?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Loyalty for the sake of Allah, love for the sake of Allah, and enmity for the sake of Allah."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَوْثَقُ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «الْوَلَايَةُ فِي اللهِ وَالْحُبُّ فِي اللهِ وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Ibn Mas'ood!" I said, "Here I am, at your service, three times." He said, "Do you know which bond of faith is the strongest?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Loving for the sake of Allah, hating for the sake of Allah, and loyalty for the sake of Allah."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَوْثَقُ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «الْوَلَايَةُ فِي اللهِ وَالْحُبُّ فِي اللهِ وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Ibn Mas'ud!" I said, "Labbaik three times." He said, "Do you know which bond of faith is the strongest?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Loyalty for the sake of Allah, love for the sake of Allah, and enmity for the sake of Allah."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَوْثَقُ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «الْوَلَايَةُ فِي اللهِ وَالْحُبُّ فِي اللهِ وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Ibn Mas'ud!" I said, "Here I am, three times." He said, "Do you know which bond of faith is the strongest?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Love for the sake of Allah, enmity for the sake of Allah, and loyalty for the sake of Allah."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ عُرَى الْإِيمَانِ أَوْثَقُ؟» قُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «الْوَلَايَةُ فِي اللهِ وَالْحُبُّ فِي اللهِ وَالْبُغْضُ فِي اللهِ»
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to place his right hand over his left hand during prayer."
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى فِي الصَّلَاةِ»
[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was presented with spoils of war, he would distribute them all to the members of his household, disliking to differentiate between them."
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أُتِيَ بِالسَّبْيِ أَعْطَى أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ جَمِيعًا؛ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمْ»
[Machine] Abdullah passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and people began to say, "This is the Messenger of Allah." A Jew then said, "If he is the Messenger of Allah, I will ask him about something. If he is a prophet, he will know the answer." So he said, "O Abu Al-Qasim, tell me: is the child created from the man's semen or the woman's semen?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Indeed, the man's semen is white and thick, from which the bones and nerves are formed, and the woman's semen is yellow and thin, from which the blood and flesh are formed."
عَبْدُ اللهِ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالَ يَهُودِيٌّ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولَ اللهِ فَسَأَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ نَبِيًّا عَلِمَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ أَخْبِرْنِي أَمِنْ نُطْفَةِ الرَّجُلِ يُخْلَقُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَوْ مِنْ نُطْفَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ نُطْفَةَ الرَّجُلِ بَيْضَاءُ غَلِيظَةٌ فَمِنْهَا يَكُونُ الْعِظَامُ وَالْعَصَبُ وَإِنَّ نُطْفَةَ الْمَرْأَةِ صَفْرَاءُ رُقَيْقَةٌ فَمِنْهَا يَكُونُ الدَّمُ وَاللَّحْمُ»
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'There will be rulers among you who will delay prayer beyond its time and introduce innovations.' He (a companion) asked, 'What should I do if I live during their time?' He (the Prophet) replied, 'You should ask me, the son of Umm Abd, how should I act? There is no obedience to one who disobeys Allah.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِهَا وَيُحْدِثُونَ الْبِدَعَ» قَالَ فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ؟ قَالَ «تَسْأَلُنِي ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ؟ لَا طَاعَةَ لِمَنْ عَصَى اللهَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, the gaze is a poisoned arrow of Satan. Whoever abandons it out of fear of Me, I will replace it with faith and he will find its sweetness in his heart."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ النَّظْرَةَ سَهْمٌ مِنْ سِهَامِ إِبْلِيسَ مَسْمُومٌ مَنْ تَرَكَهَا مَخَافَتِي أَبْدَلْتُهُ إِيمَانًا يَجِدُ حَلَاوَتَهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I saw Ibrahim ﷺ on the night of my ascension, and he said, 'O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your ummah and inform them that Paradise is fragrant with pleasant soil, with sweet water, and its trees are Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar, and there is no power or might except with Allah'."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَقْرِأْ أُمَّتَكَ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ طَيِّبَةُ التُّرْبَةِ عَذْبَةُ الْمَاءِ وَأَنَّهَا قِيعَانٌ وَغِرَاسُهَا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ
[Machine] There were two men from Juhaynah, and they had a young boy between them. One of them set the boy free (i.e., granted him freedom). Then, he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and entrusted the boy to him. He had obtained a near hundred sheep as spoils, so he sold them and gave their money to his partner.
«كَانَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ بَيْنَهُمَا غُلَامٌ فَأَعْتَقَهُ أَحَدُهُمَا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَضَمَّنَهُ إِيَّاهُ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ غُنَيْمَةٌ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ مِائَةِ شَاةٍ فَبَاعَهَا فَأَعْطَاهُ صَاحِبَهُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the two parties in a transaction differ, and the commodity is in the possession of one of them, then the statement of the seller shall prevail or they shall negotiate."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ الْمُتَبَايِعَانِ وَالسِّلْعَةُ قَائِمَةٌ بِعَيْنَهَا فَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ الْبَائِعِ أَوْ يَتَرَادَّانِ»
[Machine] I have not lied since I became a Muslim, except for one lie. I was traveling with the Prophet ﷺ when a man from the people of Ta'if asked me which type of traveler is beloved to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said the curved-backed traveler, although he disliked it. When they brought the curved-backed traveler to him, he asked, "Who sent this?". They said, "Your traveler." He then said, "Tell the son of Umm Abd to set out on a journey." So, the curved-backed traveler was returned to me.
مَا كَذَبْتُ مُنْذُ أَسْلَمْتُ إِلَّا كَذِبَةً وَاحِدَةً كُنْتُ أَرْحَلُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الطَّائِفِ فَسَأَلَنِي أَيُّ الرِّحَالَةِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقُلْتُ الطَّائِفِيَّةُ الْمُنْكَبَّةُ وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُهَا فَلَمَّا أُتِيَ بِهَا قَالَ «مَنْ رَحَلَ هَذَا؟» قَالُوا رَحَّالُكَ قَالَ «مُرُوا ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ فَلْيُرَحِّلْ» فَأُعِيدَتْ إِلَيَّ الرِّحْلَةُ
[Machine] That he wrote his father Abdul Rahman with his own hands, and then he said, "By Allah, besides whom there is no other god, I have never seen anyone more firm against aggressors than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
أَنَّهُ خَطُّ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بِيَدِهِ فَإِذَا فِيهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «وَاللهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَشَدَّ عَلَى الْمُتَنَطِّعِينَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the reckless ones are doomed to destruction."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا هَلَكَ الْمُتَنَطِّعُونَ»
[Machine] Abdullah said, "Verily, it is a day that we used to fast before Ramadan."
عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّمَا هُوَ يَوْمٌ كُنَّا نَصُومُهُ قَبْلَ رَمَضَانَ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ mentioned that the Children of Israel appointed a caliph over them, and he began to pray to the moon above the House of the Holy Temple and mentioned things he had done. Then, a rope was lowered for him, and he held onto it, and it became attached to the mosque. He went until he reached a people on the shore of the sea, and he found them making cheese. He asked them how they obtained this cheese, and they informed him. So, he took the cheese with him and ate from the work of his own hands. When the time for prayer came, he purified himself and prayed. Then, the worker mentioned that among them was a man who used to do certain things and sent for him, but he refused to come. However, he eventually came riding on his mount, and when the worker saw him, he ran away. The man followed him, and when he caught up to him, he asked him to wait for him so he could speak a word to him. The man stood and spoke to him and informed him that he was a king who had fled out of fear of his sins. He said, "I am following you in this matter, so let us both worship Allah." They both prayed to Allah to cause both of them to die. They both died, and Abdullah said, "If I were in Rumailah in Egypt, I would have shown you their graves as described by the Prophet ﷺ."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اسْتَخْلَفُوا عَلَيْهِمْ خَلِيفَةً فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي فِي الْقَمَرِ فَوْقَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَذَكَرَ أُمُورًا صَنَعَهَا فَتَدَلَّى بِسَبَبٍ فَأَصْبَحَ السَّبَبُ مُتَعَلِّقًا بِالْمَسْجِدِ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَى قَوْمًا عَلَى شَطِّ الْبَحْرِ فَوَجَدَهُمْ يَصْنَعُونَ لَبَنًا فَسَأَلَهُمْ كَيْفَ تَأْخُذُونَ عَلَى هَذَا اللَّبَنِ؟ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَلَبَنَ مَعَهُمْ فَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ تَطَهَّرَ فَصَلَّى فَرَفَعَ ذَلِكَ الْعَامِلُ إِلَى دِهْقَانِهِمْ فَقَالَ فِينَا رَجُلٌ يَصْنَعُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ جَاءَ يَسِيرُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ فَرَّ فَتَبِعَهُ فَسَبَقَهُ فَقَالَ أَنْظِرْنِي أُكَلِّمْكَ كَلِمَةً فَقَامَ حَتَّى كَلَّمَهُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَلِكًا وَأَنَّهُ فَرَّ مِنْ رَهْبَةِ ذَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَاحِقٌ بِذَلِكَ مَعَكَ فَعَبَدَا اللهَ فَسَأَلَا اللهَ أَنْ يُمِيتَهُمَا جَمِيعًا فَمَاتَا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «فَلَوَ كُنْتُ بِرُمَيْلَةِ مِصْرَ لَأَرَيْتُكُمْ قُبُورَهُمْ يَصِفُهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, Allah has slaves whom He shields from being killed. He grants them long lives due to their good deeds, improves their sustenance, and keeps them alive in good health. He takes their souls while they are in good health on their beds and grants them the status of martyrs."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عِبَادًا يَضِنُّ بِهِمْ عَنِ الْقَتْلِ يُطِيلُ أَعْمَارَهُمْ فِي حُسْنِ الْعَمَلِ وَيُحْسِنُ أَرْزَاقَهُمْ وَيُحْيِيهِمْ فِي عَافِيَةٍ وَيَقْبِضُ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ فِي عَافِيَةٍ عَلَى الْفُرُشِ فَيُعْطِيهِمْ مَنَازِلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ»
[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ prepared his ride when his expedition was sent upon him.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَهَلَّ حِينَ انْبَعَثَتْ بِهِ رَاحِلَتُهُ
[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he passed by a village where ants had been burned by fire. He said, "It is not fitting for anyone to punish with the punishment of Allah."
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَرَّ بِقَرْيَةِ نَمْلٍ قَدْ حُرِّقَتْ بِالنَّارِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ بِعَذَابِ اللهِ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw a red bird flying over the heads of his companions and said, "Who has startled her?" A man from the Ansar said, "I have taken her eggs or fledglings." So he commanded him to return them.
رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حُمَرَةً تَطِيرُ عَلَى رُءُوسِ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ «مَنْ فَجَعَ هَذِهِ؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَخَذْتُ بِيضَاتٍ لَهَا أَوْ فَرُّوخًا فَأَمَرَهُ بِرَدِّهَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "If the two parties in a transaction differ, then the statement of the seller is to be considered."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ الْبَيِّعَانِ فَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ الْبَائِعِ»
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "No one is more jealous than Allah, because He has forbidden indecencies. And no one loves praise more than Allah, because He has praised Himself. And no one loves excuses more than Allah, because He accepts excuses from His creation. And no one loves praise more than Allah, because He praises Himself."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا أَحَدٌ أَغْيَرَ مِنَ اللهِ ﷻ؛ وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ حَرَّمَ الْفَوَاحِشَ وَمَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْمِدْحَةُ مِنَ اللهِ؛ وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ مَدَحَ نَفْسَهُ وَلَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْعُذْرُ مِنَ اللهِ؛ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ اعْتَذَرَ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ وَلَا أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ الْحَمْدُ مِنَ اللهِ؛ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَمِدَ نَفْسَهُ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went hungry, so he sent a message to his wives to bring him some food, but none of them had any. He then said, "O Allah, I ask you for your bounty and mercy, for no one possesses them except you." He was then given a praying sheep and he said, "This is from the bounty of Allah, and we are awaiting His mercy."
ضَافَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ يَبْتَغِي عِنْدَهُنَّ طَعَامًا فَلَمْ يَجِدْ عِنْدَ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَمْلِكُهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ» فَأُهْدِيَتْ إِلَيْهِ شَاةٌ مَصْلِيَّةٌ فَقَالَ «هَذِهِ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللهِ وَنَحْنُ نَنْتَظِرُ الرَّحْمَةَ»
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 كُفْرٌ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Commit to performing the dawn prayer, for it is greater in reward."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَسْفِرُوا بِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْظَمُ لِلْأَجْرِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The virtue of the night prayer is greater than the virtue of the daytime prayer, just as the virtue of the secret charity is greater than the virtue of the public charity."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَضْلُ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ عَلَى صَلَاةِ النَّهَارِ كَفَضْلِ صَدَقَةِ السِّرِّ عَلَى صَدَقَةِ الْعَلَانِيَةِ»
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said: Our Lord marvels at two men; a man who becomes angry for the sake of his clothing and his bed, separating him from his loved ones and family to perform his prayers. Allah says to His angels: Look at My servant, he becomes angry and separates himself from his loved ones and family to perform his prayers, seeking what is with Me and fearing what is with Me. And a man who fights in the cause of Allah and is defeated, realizing what he faces in defeat and what he has in retreat, yet he returns until his blood is spilled. Allah says: Look at My servant, he returns seeking what is with Me and fearing what is with Me, until his blood is spilled."
أَنَّ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ عَجِبَ رَبُّنَا مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ؛ رَجُلٌ ثَارَ عَنْ وِطَائِهِ وَلِحَافِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ حِبِّهِ وَأَهْلِهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ ﷻ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي ثَارَ مِنْ وِطَائِهِ وَلِحَافِهِ مِنْ حِبِّهِ وَأَهْلِهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي وَرَجُلٌ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَانْهَزَمَ فَعَلِمَ مَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الِانْهِزَامِ وَمَا لَهُ فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَرَجَعَ حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي رَجَعَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it were to be said to the people of the Fire, 'You will remain in the Fire for the number of grains of sand in the world,' they would rejoice in it. And if it were to be said to the people of Paradise, 'You will remain in Paradise for the number of grains of sand in the world,' they would be saddened. However, eternal life has been granted to them."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ قِيلَ لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ إِنَّكُمْ مَاكِثُونَ فِي النَّارِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَفَرِحُوا بِهَا وَلَوْ قِيلَ لِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِنَّكُمْ مَاكِثُونَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ عَدَدَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَحَزِنُوا وَلَكِنْ جُعِلَ لَهُمُ الْأَبَدُ
[Machine] "Do you not come closer, O Abu Muhammad, to lunch?" He said, "Why did you fast today?" He said, "We used to fast this day before Ramadan came down. So when Ramadan came down, we fasted it and left everything else."
أَلَا تَدْنُو يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى الْغَدَاءِ؟ قَالَ وَمَا صُمْتُمْ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ كُنَّا نَصُومُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ رَمَضَانُ صُمْنَاهُ وَتَرَكْنَا مَا سِوَاهُ»
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Verily, Allah will gather the nations on the Day of Resurrection, then He will descend from His Throne to His Chair, and His Chair encompasses the heavens and the earth."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ يَجْمَعُ فِي الْأُمَمِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ يَنْزِلُ عَنْ عَرْشِهِ إِلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ وَكُرْسِيُّهُ وَسِعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shrouded in three cold burial cloths, one made in Sanaa and two made in Habra.
كُفِّنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ بُرْدٍ صَنْعَانِيٍّ وَبُرْدَيْ حِبَرَةٍ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Two types of people will never be satisfied, the seeker of knowledge and the seeker of worldly desires.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْهُومَانِ لَا يَشْبَعَانِ طَالِبُهُمَا طَالِبُ عَلِمٍ وَطَالِبُ الدُّنْيَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave what does not concern you, and surely the first to rob my nation of their wealth and what Allah has granted them will be the Banu Qantura."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اتْرُكُوا التُّرْكَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَسْلُبُ أُمَّتِي مُلْكَهُمْ وَمَا خَوَّلَهُمُ اللهُ بَنُو قَنْطُورَاءَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will always be forty men from my Ummah (community) whose hearts are like Abraham's heart, through whom Allah repels harm from the people of the Earth. They are called the Abdal (substitutes). " The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They did not attain this (status) through prayer, fasting, or charity." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, then how did they attain it?" He said, "Through generosity and giving sincere advice to Muslims."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزَالُ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي قُلُوبُهُمْ عَلَى قَلْبِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَدْفَعُ اللهُ بِهِمْ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ يُقَالُ لَهُمُ الْأَبْدَالُ» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُدْرِكُوهَا بِصَلَاةٍ وَلَا بِصَوْمٍ وَلَا صَدَقَةٍ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَبِمَ أَدْرَكُوهَا؟ قَالَ «بِالسَّخَاءِ وَالنَّصِيحَةِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, peace is a name from the names of Allah, and He has placed it on earth, so spread it among yourselves. When a person greets a group of people and they respond to him, he will have a higher status over them because he reminded them [of the greeting]. If they do not respond to him, the one who is better and more virtuous than them will respond to him and is purer."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ السَّلَامَ اسْمٌ مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ اللهِ وَضَعَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَفْشُوهُ فِيكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَرَدُّوا عَلَيْهِ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَضْلُ دَرَجَةٍ؛ لِأَنَّهُ ذَكَّرَهُمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَرُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ وَأَطْيَبُ»
[Machine] "He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'The Fire has been stoked and Paradise has been brought near. O people of the chambers, if you knew what I know, then you would laugh a little and weep much.'"
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سُعِّرَتِ النَّارُ وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَا أَهْلَ الْحُجُرَاتِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا»
[Machine] From the Prophet, ﷺ , he said, "Indeed, after you there will come a time of patience for those who adhere to it, their reward will be equivalent to that of fifty martyrs." So, 'Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, from us or from them?" He said, "From among you."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ زَمَانَ صَبْرٍ للمُتَمَسِّكِ فِيهِ أَجْرُ خَمْسِينَ شَهِيدًا» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِنَّا أَوْ مِنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ «مِنْكُمْ»
