[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered his companions to fight. A man from his companions threw an arrow, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This is mandatory." When he commanded them to fight, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, we should not say as the sons of Israel said to Moses, 'Go, you and your Lord, and fight.' Until the end of the verse, but we say, 'Go, you and your Lord, and fight. We are with you from the fighters.'"

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَصْحَابَهُ بِالْقِتَالِ فَرُمِيَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ بِسَهْمٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَوْجَبَ هَذَا» وَقَالُوا حِينَ أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقِتَالِ إِذًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا نَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى {اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَلَكِنَّا نَقُولُ اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَا إِنَّا مَعَكُمَا مِنَ الْمُقَاتِلِينَ

[Machine] I dressed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he dressed me with two garments. Indeed, I saw myself wearing them while I am the one who dresses my companions."

«اسْتَكْسَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَسَانِي خَيْشَتَيْنِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَلْبَسُهُمَا وَأَنَا مِنْ أَكْسَى أَصْحَابِي»

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made the pledge (bai'ah), he said to him, 'What is your name?' He said, 'Nushbah.' He said, 'You are 'Utbat ibn 'Abd.'"

أَنَّهُ لَمَّا بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» قَالَ نشبه قَالَ «أَنْتَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ»

[Machine] An Arab man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about Paradise and mentioned the Pond. He asked, "Are there fruits in it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes, and there is a tree called Tuba in it." He asked, "Which tree in our land does it resemble?" He replied, "It does not resemble any tree in your land. You came to Sham, and there is a tree there called Jauza that grows on a trunk and its branches spread." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how big is its root?" He answered, "If a trunk of your camels was taken, it would not reach its root until it was broken and decayed." He asked, "So, does it have grapes?" He said, "Yes." He asked, "How big are its grape clusters?" He said, "It takes as long as the spotted crow would fly for a month, and it does not break." He asked, "And what about the size of its grape?" He replied, "As big as your father and mother's pillar, so they slaughtered it and skinned it." He said, "Make a bucket for us from it." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, will that grape be enough for me and my family?" He answered, "Yes, and your whole tribe."

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَوْضَ فَقَالَ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَفِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ تُدْعَى طُوبَى» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ شَجَرِ أَرْضِنَا تُشْبِهُ؟ قَالَ «لَا تُشْبِهُ شَيْئًا مِنْ شَجَرِ أَرْضِكَ أَتَيْتَ الشَّامَ فَإِنَّ هُنَالِكَ شَجَرَةً تُدْعَى الْجَوْزَةُ تَنْبُتُ عَلَى سَاقٍ ويَفْتَرِعُ أَعْلَاهَا» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا عِظَمُ أَصْلِهَا؟ قَالَ «لَو ارْتَحَلَتْ جَذَعَةٌ مِنْ إِبِلِ أَهْلِكَ مَا أَحَطْتَ بِأَصْلِها حَتَّى تَنْكَسِرَ تَرْقُوَتُهَا هَرَمًا» قَالَ فَفِيهَا عِنَبٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَمَا عِظَمُ الْعُنْقُودِ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ «مَسِيرَةُ الْغُرَابِ الْأَبْقَعِ شَهْرًا وَلَا يَفْتُرُ» قَالَ فَمَا عِظَمُ الْحَبَّةِ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ «عَمَدَ أَبُوكَ وأُمُّكَ إِلَى جَذَعَةٍ فَذَبَحَهَا وَسَلَخَ جِلْدَهَا» فَقَالَ «اصْنَعُوا لَنَا مِنْهُ دَلْوًا» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ تِلْكَ الْحَبَّةَ تَسَعُنِي وَأَهْلِي؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَعَامَّةَ عَشِيرَتَكَ»

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a Bedouin came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, may I tell you about a tree in Paradise that I do not know of any other tree having more thorns than it, that is, the date-palm tree?" He replied, "The palm tree with the spiky fruit, that is, the male palm tree, has seventy different shades of color of food that do not resemble any other color."

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَسْمَعُكَ تَذْكُرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ شَجَرَةً لَا أعْلَمُ أَكْثَرَ شَوْكًا مِنْهَا يَعْنِي الطَّلْحَ فَقَالَ «التَّيْسُ المَلْبُودُ يَعْنِي الْخَصِيَّ فِيهَا سَبْعُونَ لَوْنًا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ لَا يُشْبِهُ لَوْنٌ آخَرَ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade cutting off the tails of horses, as well as their manes and forelocks. As for the tails, they are their beautification, and as for the forelocks, they are their protection, and as for the manes, goodness is intertwined in them.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «نَهَى عَنْ جَزِّ أَذْنَابِ الْخَيْلِ وَنَوَاصِيِهَا وأَعْرافِها فَأَمَّا أَذْنَابُهَا فَإِنَّهَا مَذَابُّهَا وَأَمَّا أَعْرَافُهَا فَإِنَّهَا إِدْفَاؤُهَا وَأَمَّا نَوَاصِيهَا فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ مَعْقُودٌ فِيهَا»

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There is no servant who leaves his house in the morning or goes out in the evening to the mosque, except that every step he takes is a means of expiation and reward."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَى غُدُوٍّ أَوْ رَوَاحٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَّا كَانَتْ خُطَاهُ خُطْوَةً كَفَّارَةً وَخُطْوَةً حَسَنَةً»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Eat suhoor (pre-dawn meal) until the end of the night." And he used to say, "It is a blessed meal."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَسَحَّرُوا مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ» وَكَانَ يَقُولُ «هُوَ الْغَدَاءُ الْمُبَارَكُ»

[Machine] A man asked the Prophet ﷺ , "How was the beginning of your affair?" So he mentioned the hadith.

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «كَيْفَ كَان أَوَّلُ شَأْنِكَ» فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ

[Machine] "However, the world has announced its destruction, and its affairs have come to an end. Only a few drops remain, like the drops from a vessel poured by its owner. You are transient from it to a dwelling that is eternal, so move on with the best of what you have. It has been mentioned to us that a stone is thrown from the edge of Hell and it takes seventy years to reach its bottom. By Allah, you will surely be filled with wonder. It has been mentioned to us that the distance between two doors of Paradise is a journey of forty years, and it will be visited on a day that is as crowded as it is severe. I have witnessed, and I am one of the seven, with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, that we had no food but the leaves of trees, to the point that our lips were injured. I picked up a date pit and broke it between myself and Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, the knight of Islam. I shared half of it, and not one of us remains alive today except that he has become a ruler in Egypt. I seek refuge in Allah from being arrogant within myself and insignificant in the sight of Allah. And indeed, Prophethood no longer exists, as it has been replaced until it becomes kingship or you will be tested or the leaders will be tested after us."

«أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ آذَنَتْ بِصَرْمٍ وَوَلَّتْ حَذَّاءَ وإنَّمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا صُبَابَةٌ كَصُبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ يَصُبُّهَا صَاحِبُهَا وَإنَّكُمْ مُتَنَقِّلُونَ مِنْهَا إِلَى دَارٍ لَا زَوَالَ لَهَا فَانْتَقِلُوا بِخَيْرِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ الْحَجَرَ يُلْقَى مِنْ شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَيَهْوِي بِهَا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا مَا يُدْرِكُ قَعْرَهَا فَوَاللهِ لَتُمْلَأَنَّ أَفَعَجِبْتُمْ فَلَقَدْ ذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ مِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الْجَنَّةِ بَيْنَهُمَا مَسِيرَةُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةُ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمٌ وَهُوَ كَظِيظٌ الزِّحَامِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَإِنِّي لَسَابِعُ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِِ ﷺ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إَِلَا وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا وَإِنِّي الْتَقَطْتُ بُرْدَةً فَشَقَقْتُهَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ فَارِسِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَائْتَزَرْتُ بِنِصْفِهَا وَمَا أَصْبَحَ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ حَيٌّ إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ أَمِيرَ مِصْرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْصَارِ وَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِي عَظِيمًا وَعِنْدَ اللهِ صَغِيرًا وإنَّها لَمْ تَبْقَ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ إلَّا تَنَاسَخَتْ حَتَّى تَكُونَ عَاقِبَتُهَا مُلْكًا سَتُجَرِّبونَ أَوْ تُبْلَوُنَّ الْأُمَرَاءَ بَعْدَنَا»

[Machine] "The world has declared bankruptcy, its shoes have worn out, and nothing remains of it but fragility like the fragility of a container. Indeed, you are in a temporary dwelling, so move on with the best of what you have in your presence. I have seen myself as the seventh of seven with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and we did not have anything to eat except tree leaves, until our sides were scarred. Qurra said, 'I found a cloak and Abu Na'amah said, 'I picked up a cloak and tore it in half. I wore half and gave Sa'd the other half.' Today, none of those seven is found except in Egypt from the cities. The rulers will be tested after me. By Allah, Prophethood has never been abolished except for it to be succeeded by a kingdom and dominance. Qurra mentioned, 'Indeed, the stones said,' and Abu Na'amah said, 'Indeed, the scroll is thrown down the cliffs of Hell, falling to its bottom.' Qurra said, 'Seventy autumns,' and Abu Na'amah said, 'Seventy autumns. And the distance between the two door panels of Paradise will be filled in a journey of forty days. And a day will come upon the doors of Paradise when there is not a door except that it will be tightly closed. I seek refuge in Allah from being arrogant in myself and being insignificant before Allah.'

«إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ آذَنَتْ بِصَرْمٍ وَوَلَّتْ حَذَّاءَ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا صُبَابَةٌ كَصُبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ وَإنَّكُمْ فِي دَارٍ تَنْتَقِلونَ عَنْهَا فَانْتَقِلُوا بِخَيْرِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ نَأْكُلُهُ إلَا وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى قَرِحَتْ أَشْدَاقُنَا» قَالَ قُرَّةُ وَلَقَدْ وَجَدْتُ بُرْدَةً وَقَالَ أَبُو نَعَامَةَ الْتَقَطْتُ بُرْدَةً فَشَقَقْتُهَا نِصْفَيْنِ فَلَبِسْتُ نِصْفًا وَأعْطَيْتُ سَعْدًا نِصْفًا وَلَيْسَ مِنْ أُولَئِكَ السَّبْعَةِ الْيَوْمَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا عَلَى مِصْرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْصَارِ ولَيُجَرَّبَنَّ الْأُمَرَاءُ بَعْدِي وَإِنَّهُ وَاللهِ مَا كَانَتْ نُبُوَّةٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا تَنَاسَخَتْ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مُلْكًا وجَبْرِيَّةً وَلَقَدْ ذُكِرَ لِي قَالَ قُرَّةُ إِنَّ الْحَجَرَ وَقَالَ أَبُو نَعَامَةَ إِنَّ الصَّحِيفَةَ تُقْذَفُ بِهَا مِنْ شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتَهْوِي إِلَى قَرَارِهَا قَالَ قُرَّةُ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا وَقَالَ أَبُو نَعَامَةَ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا وَلَيُمْلَأَنَّ وَمَا بَيْنَ الْمِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ مَسِيرَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْسَ فِيهَا بَابٌ إِلَّا وَهُوَ كَظِيظٌ وَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ فِي نَفْسِي كَبِيرًا وَعِنْدَ اللهِ صَغِيرًا

[Machine] "I have seen us with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seven times where we had no food except for the leaves of the hablata, to the point that one of us would place it on the ground like a sheep would do."

«لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقُ الْحَبَلَةِ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا تَضَعُ الشَّاةُ»

[Machine] "The world has declared bankruptcy and has left nothing behind except grains, just like the pouring of water in a vessel by its owner. And indeed, you will be transferred, so transfer with the best of what you have in your presence. And I have seen myself as being among the seventh group with the Prophet, ﷺ , and our lips were wounded from eating trees."

«إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ آذَنَتْ بِصَرْمٍ وَوَلَّتْ حَذَّاءَ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا صُبَابَةٌ كَصُبَابَةِ الْإِنَاءِ صَبَّهَا صَاحِبُهَا إِلَّا وَإنَّكُمْ مُنْتَقِلُونَ فَانْتَقِلُوا بِخَيْرِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ قَرِحَتْ أَفْوَاهُنَا مِنْ أَكْلِ الْأَشْجَارِ»

[Machine] We used to witness the battles with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when the sun set, he would say to us, "Prepare to leave." So, we prepared to leave.

كُنَّا نَشْهَدُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْقِتَالَ فَإِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ لَنَا «احْمِلُوا» فَحَمَلْنَا

‘Whoever lies upon me intentionally, then let him take his seat in the Fire’. (Using translation from Muslim 3)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»

[Machine] "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, from amongst you will come days of patience, in which the one who remains steadfast will have a reward equivalent to fifty of you.' They said, 'O Prophet of Allah, will that be because of them?' He said, 'No, it will be from you.' They said, 'O Prophet of Allah, will it be because of them?' He said, 'No, it will be from you.' This was repeated three or four times."

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ أَيَّامَ الصَّبْرِ الْمُتَمَسِّكُ فِيهِنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمِثْلِ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْكُمْ» قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَوَمِنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ مِنْكُمْ» قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَوَمِنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ مِنْكُمْ» ثَلَاثُ مَرَّاتٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعًا

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, he said, "If one of you loses something or needs help while being in a place where there is no one to assist, then let him say, 'O servants of Allah, help me! O servants of Allah, help me!' For indeed, Allah has servants whom we do not see, who have been tested with this."

عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَضَلَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا أَوْ أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَوْنًا وَهُوَ بِأَرْضٍ لَيْسَ بِهَا أَنِيسٌ فَلْيَقُلْ يَا عِبَادَ اللهِ أَغِيثُونِي يَا عِبَادَ اللهِ أَغِيثُونِي فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ عِبَادًا لَا نَرَاهُمْ وَقَدْ جُرِّبَ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once said to the Quraysh, "Is there anyone among you who is not from you?" They said, "Ibn Akhina, Utbah bin Ghazwan's son." He said, "He is the nephew of the people from them and the ally of the people from them."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمًا لِقُرَيْشٍ «هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ؟» قَالُوا ابْنُ أَخِينَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ قَالَ «ابْنُ أُخْتِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ وَحَلِيفُ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُمْ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The martyrs and those who die from plague will come forth on the Day of Judgment, and the plague victims will claim, 'We are martyrs.' It will be said to them, 'Look at your wounds. If they are like the wounds of the martyrs and they are flowing with blood like musk, then you are indeed martyrs.' So they will find that to be the case."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَأْتِي الشُّهَدَاءُ وَالْمُتَوَفَّوْنَ بِالطَّاعُونِ فَيَقُولُ أَصْحَابُ الطَّاعُونِ نَحْنُ شُهَدَاءُ فَيُقَالُ انْظُرُوا فَإِنْ كَانَتْ جِرَاحَتُهُمْ كَجِرَاحَةِ الشُّهَدَاءِ تَسِيلُ دَمًا كَرِيحِ الْمِسْكِ فَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ فَيَجِدُونَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ

[Machine] "Utba ibn Abdus Salamiyyu was the Prophet ﷺ when a man would come to him and if he did not like his name, he would change it. And we came to him, and indeed we were seven from the Banu Sulaym, with Araba ibn Sariyya being the eldest among us. So we all pledged allegiance to him together."

عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيُّ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِذَا أَتَاهُ الرَّجُلُ وَلَهُ الِاسْمُ لَا يُحِبُّهُ حَوَّلَهُ وَلَقَدْ أَتَيْنَاهُ وَإِنَّا لَسَبْعَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ أكْبَرُنَا الْعِرْبَاضُ بْنُ سَارِيَةَ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ جَمِيعًا مَعًا»

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘There is no Muslim, three of whose children die before reaching the age of puberty, but they will meet him at the eight gates of Paradise and whichever one he wants he will enter through it.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1604)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا تَلَقَّوْهُ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ دَخَلَ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever fasts a day in the way of Allah as an obligation, Allah will distance him from Hellfire a distance equal to that between the heavens and the earth. And whoever fasts a day voluntarily, Allah will distance him from Hellfire a distance equal to the journey of the heavens."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَرِيضَةً بَاعَدَ اللهُ مِنْهُ جَهَنَّمَ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَوَاتِ والْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَمَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا تَطَوُّعًا بَاعَدَ اللهُ مِنْهُ جَهَنَّمَ مَسِيرَةَ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ»

[Machine] So when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw me, he called me while I was a young boy. He asked, "What is your name?" I replied, "Atalah ibn Abd." The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, you are Utbah ibn Abd. Show me your sword." I handed it to him and when he looked at it, he noticed that it had not been properly sharpened and was weak. He said, "Do not strike with this, but instead thrust with it."

فَلَمَّا رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعَانِي وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ حَدَثٌ فَقَالَ «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» فَقُلْتُ عَتَلَةُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «بَلْ أَنْتَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ أَرِنِي سَيْفَكَ» فَسَلَّهُ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ سَيْفٌ فِيهِ دِقَّةُ وَضَعْفٌ فَقَالَ «لَا تَضْرِبْ بِهَذَا وَلَكِنِ اطْعَنْ بِهِ طَعْنًا»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said on the day of the Battle of Banu Qurayzah, "Whoever shoots an arrow will have Paradise." 'Utba said, "So I shot three arrows."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ «مَنْ أدْخَلَ سَهْمًا فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ» قَالَ عُتْبَةُ «فَأَدْخَلْتُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَسْهُمٍ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The caliphate is with the Quraysh, governance is with the Ansar, the call to Islam is with the Habasha (Ethiopia), and jihad and migration are for the Muslims and the emigrants thereafter."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْخِلَافَةُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَالْحُكْمُ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ وَالدَّعْوَةُ فِي الْحَبَشَةِ وَالْجِهَادُ وَالْهِجْرَةِ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ بَعْدُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said on the day of the Battle of Qurayzah and Nadir, "Whoever enters this fortress with an arrow, Paradise is deservedly his." 'Utbah said, "So I entered with three arrows."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَالنَّضِيرِ «مَنْ أدْخَلَ هَذَا الْحِصْنَ سَهْمًا فَقَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ» قَالَ عُتْبَةُ «فَأَدْخَلْتُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَسْهُمٍ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me while I was a young boy and asked, "What is your name?" I said, "Atalah bin Abd." He said, "You are Utbah bin Abd."

دَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ حَدَثٌ فَقَالَ «مَا اسْمُكَ؟» قُلْتُ عَتَلَةُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ قَالَ «أَنْتَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدٍ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Show me your sword." So, he asked for it and looked at it. He found it to be dull and weak, so he said, "Do not strike with this, but instead stab with it."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَرِنِي سَيْفَكَ» فَسَلَّهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا فِيهِ دِقَّةٌ وَضَعْفٌ فَقَالَ «لَا تَضْرِبْ بِهَذَا وَلَكِنِ اطْعَنْ بِهِ طَعْنًا»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, when a leader seeks to attain dishonest gain from the people, he corrupts them."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْأَمِيرَ إِذَا ابْتَغَى الرِّيبَةَ فِي النَّاسِ أَفْسَدَهُمْ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If a man were to be dragged on his face from the day he was born until the day he dies in order to seek the pleasure of Allah, it would still be considered insignificant on the Day of Resurrection."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا يُجَرُّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مِنْ يَوْمِ وُلِدَ إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ هَرَمًا فِي مَرْضَاةِ اللهِ لَحَقَّرَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, curse the people of Yemen, for they are severe in their power and numerous in their number. Their fortresses are fortified." He said, "No," and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed the two non-Arabs, the Persians and the Romans. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you come across the people of Yemen, you will see them driving their women and carrying their children on their shoulders. Indeed, they are from me and I am from them."

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْعَنْ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ فَإِنَّهُمْ شَدِيدٌ بَأْسُهُمْ كَثِيرٌ عَدَدُهُمْ حَصِينَةٌ حُصُونُهُمْ قَالَ «لَا» وَلَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْأَعْجَمَيْنِ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا مَرَّ بِكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ يَسُوقُونَ نِسَاءَهُمْ ويَحْمِلونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to his companions, "Get up and fight, for a man has been struck by an arrow." The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is obligatory."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «قُومُوا فَقَاتِلُوا فَرُمِيَ رَجُلٌ بِسَهْمٍ» فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَوْجَبَ هَذَا»

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘There is no Muslim, three of whose children die before reaching the age of puberty, but they will meet him at the eight gates of Paradise and whichever one he wants he will enter through it.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1604)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا تَلَقَّوْهُ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ دَخَلَ»

[Machine] On the authority of 'Utba bin 'Abd, a companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who said that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There are three types of people who are killed in the cause of Allah. One is a believer who fights with his wealth and himself until he is killed. He is considered a martyr, boasting in the tent of Allah beneath His Throne, and they are only surpassed in rank by the Prophets. Another is a believer who is overwhelmed by his sins and transgressions, so he strives with his self and his wealth in the cause of Allah until he is killed. This person is a 'masmasah', or one whose sins and transgressions are purified by the sword. He will enter Paradise through any of its eight gates, for Hell has seven gates, some of which are better than others. The third type is a hypocrite who fights with himself and his wealth in the cause of Allah until he is killed. Such a person will be in the Fire, for the sword does not erase hypocrisy."

عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍٍ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْقَتْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ يُجَاهِدً بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَقَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى قُتِلَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ الشَّهِيدُ الْمُفْتَخِرُ فِي خَيْمَةِ اللهِ تَحْتِ عَرْشِهِ لَا يُفْضَلُونَ إِلَّا بِفَضْلِ دَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ قَرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا فَأَكْثَرَ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَتِلْكَ مَصْمَصَةٌ تَحْتَ ذُنُوبِهِ وَخَطَايَاهُ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءُ لِلْخَطَايَا وَأُدْخِلَ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَ فَإِنِّ لَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَبْوَابٍ وَلِجَهَنَّمَ سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَابٍ وَبَعْضُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَرَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ قَالَ ذَلِكَ فِي النَّارِ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ

[Machine] Narrated Utbah ibn Abdus Salam, who was one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The martyrs are three types: a believer who fights in the cause of Allah with his wealth and himself until he is killed by the enemy, and that is the martyr who boasts in the tent of Allah under His Throne - the Prophets do not surpass him except with the degree of Prophethood; and a believer who is overburdened with sins and transgressions but fights in the cause of Allah with his wealth and himself until he is killed, so that is a martyr with his sins and transgressions erased - indeed the sword wipes away sins; and he will enter from any of the gates of Paradise he wishes, for it has eight gates, some of which are better than others; and for Hellfire, it has seven gates; and a hypocrite who fights in the cause of Allah with his wealth and himself until he is killed, so he is in the Fire. Indeed, the sword does not erase hypocrisy."

عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْقَتْلَى ثَلَاثَةُ رِجَالٍ مُؤْمِنٌ جَاهَدَ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَذَلِكَ الشَّهِيدُ الْمُفْتَخِرُ فِي خَيْمَةِ اللهِ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ لَا يَفْضُلُهُ النَّبِيُّونَ إِلَّا بِدَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ قَرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا جَاهَدَ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَتِلْكَ مَصْمَصَةٌ تَحْتَ ذُنُوبِهِ وَخَطَايَاهُ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءُ لِلْخَطَايَا وأُدْخِلَ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَ فَإِنَّ لَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَبْوَابٍ بَعْضُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَلِجَهَنَّمَ سَبْعَةَ أَبْوَابٍ وَرَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَذَلِكَ فِي النَّارِ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ

[Machine] He heard Uthbah ibn Abdus Salami say: A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "What is this basin that you talk about?" He replied, "Allah will extend for me a basin as wide as the distance between two white mounds, so that I will be able to drink from it. It is unknown whether it is from the people who Allah created or others." Then Umar ibn Khattab said, "As for the basin, it is intended for the needy among the Muhajireen who fought in the cause of Allah. I hope that Allah will show me the basin, and I will drink from it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, my Lord has promised me that seventy thousand of my Ummah will enter Paradise without any reckoning, and each of them will intercede for seventy thousand others, then my Lord will allow me to intercede for those seventy thousand times, and then He will give me three Hawtahs (a measure of water)." Then Umar said, "The first seventy thousand will be interceded for by their fathers and tribes, and I hope that Allah will make me among the latter Hawtahs." The Bedouin then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is there any fruit in it?" He replied, "Yes, and there is a tree called Tooba in it, which is like the Firdaus." He further asked, "Which tree does it resemble in our land?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no resemblance to any tree in your land, but have you been to Syria?" The Bedouin replied, "No, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "It resembles a tree in Syria called Al-Jawzah, which grows on a single trunk and then spreads out its branches." The Bedouin asked, "What is the size of its trunk?" He replied, "If a branch from your camels were to set off on a journey, you would not know its trunk until its neck broke." He then asked, "Does it have grapes?" He replied, "Yes." The Bedouin asked, "What is the size of its cluster?" He replied, "It takes a crow with spotted plumage a month to fly over it without bending or breaking." He asked, "And what is the size of its seed?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Did your father slaughter something major from his flock?" He replied, "Yes." He asked, "Did he skin it and give it to your mother?" He said, "Envelop it in this, then pour us a bucket of water so that we can quench our thirst with it." He said, "Yes." The Bedouin asked, "Will it be sufficient for me and my family?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "And for your entire tribe."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيُّ يَقُولُ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا حَوْضُكَ هَذَا الَّذِي تُحَدِّثُ عَنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ «كَمَا بَيْنَ الْبَيْضَاءِ إِلَى بُصْرَى يَمُدُّنِي اللهُ فِيهِ بِكُرَاعٍ لَا يَدْرِي إِنْسَانٌ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ اللهُ طَرَفَاهُ» فَكَبَّرَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الْحَوْضُ فَيَرِدُ عَلِيَّ فُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَأَرْجُو أَنْ يُرِيَنِي اللهُ الْكُرَاعَ فَأَشْرَبَ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ رَبِّي وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ثُمّ يَشْفَعَ كُلُّ أَلْفٍ لِسَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا ثُمّ يَحْثِيَ لِي رَبِّي بِكَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ» فَكَبَّرَ عُمَرُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ السَّبْعِينَ الْأُوَلَ يُشَفِّعُهُمُ اللهُ فِي آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي اللهُ فِي أَحَدِ الْحَثَياتِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَفِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ تُدْعَى طُوبَى هِيَ تُطَابِقُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ» فَقَالَ أَيُّ شَجَرِ أَرْضِنَا تُشْبِهُ؟ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ تُشْبِهُ شَيْئًا مِنْ شَجَرِ أَرْضِكَ وَلَكِنْ أَتَيْتَ الشَّامَ؟» قَالَ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا تُشْبِهُ شَجَرَةً بِالشَّامِ تُدْعَى الْجَوْزَةُ تَنْبُتُ عَلَى سَاقٍ وَاحِدٍ ثُمّ يَنْتَشِرُ أَعْلَاهَا قَالَ فَمَا عِظَمُ أَصْلِهَا؟ قَالَ «لَو ارْتَحَلَتْ جَذَعَةٌ مِنْ إِبِلِ أَهْلِكَ لَمْ يُدْرَ بِأَصْلِهَا حَتَّى تَنْكَسِرَ تَرْقُوَتُهَا هَرَمًا» قَالَ فِيهَا عِنَبٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَمَا عِظَمُ الْعُنْقُودِ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَ «مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ لِلْغُرَابِ الْأَبْقَعِ وَلَا يَنْثَنِي وَلَا يَفْتُرُ» قَالَ وَمَا عِظَمُ الْحَبَّةِ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ هَلْ ذَبَحَ أَبُوكَ شَيْئًا مِنْ غَنَمِهِ عَظِيمًا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَسَلَخَ إِهَابَهَا فَأَعْطَاهُ أُمَّكَ؟» فَقَالَ «ادْبُغِي هَذَا ثُمّ افْرِي لَنَا مِنْهُ دَلْوًا نَرْوِي بِهِ مَاشِيَتَنَا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَإِنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ» قَالَ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يَسَعُنِي وَيَسَعُ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَعَامَّةَ عَشِيرَتَكَ»

[Machine] I came to the doorstep of Utbah ibn Abdus-Salam, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I said, "O Abu Al-Walid, I have gone out to seek sacrificial animals, but I did not find anything except Tharmasah (a type of sheep with a cut tail) and I dislike it. What do you say?" He said, "Why don't you come to me and sacrifice it?" I said, "Subhan Allah, would it be permissible for you and not for me?" He said, "Yes, because you are doubtful, and I am not doubtful. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited (sacrificing) the Mutsaffirah (a type of sheep with a cut tail) and the Musta'shalah (a type of sheep with a broken horn), the one whose horn is completely broken off from its root, and the one-eyed animal whose eye has protruded, and the diseased animal that does not follow the flock, limping or weak, and the Kasra (a type of camel with a broken leg)."

أَتَيْتُ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ إنِّي خَرَجْتُ ألْتَمِسُ الضَّحَايَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ غَيْرَ ثَرْمَاءَ فَكَرِهْتُهَا فَمَا تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ ألَا جِئْتَنِي أُضَحِّي بِهَا؟ قُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ لَا تَجُوزُ عَنْكَ وَلَا تَجُوزُ عَنِّي؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ لِأَنَّكَ تَشُكُّ وَلَا أَشُكُّ إِنَّمَا «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُصْفَرَةِ وَالْمُسْتَأْصَلَةِ قَرْنُهَا مِنْ أَصْلِهَا وَالْبَخْقَاءِ الَّتِي بَخَقَتْ عَيْنُهَا وَالْمُشَيِّعَةِ الَّتِي لَا تَتْبَعُ الْغَنَمَ عَرَجًا وَضَعْفًا وَالْكَسْرَاءِ الْكَسِيرَةِ»

that the Messenger of Allah said: “When anyone of you has intercourse with his wife, let him cover himself and not be naked liked donkeys.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1921)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ أَهْلَهُ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ وَلَا يَتَجَرَّدْ تَجَرُّدَ الْعِيرِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to order changing the style of hair in opposition to the non-Arabs.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَأْمُرُ بِتَغْيِيرِ الشَّعْرِ مُخَالَفَةً لِلْأَعَاجِمِ»

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "Whoever performs the Fajr prayer in congregation and remains in the mosque, praising Allah until sunrise, then performs the Duha prayer, will receive the reward of a complete Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ ثُمّ ثَبَتَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يُسَبِّحُ اللهَ سُبْحَةَ الضُّحَى كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ حَاجٍّ وَمُعْتَمِرٍ تَامًّا لَهُ حَجَّتُهُ وَعُمْرَتُهُ»

[Machine] From its owners. When it was late evening, his companions gathered and he called them, and said, "From whom did you buy the land?" They said, "From its owners." He said, "Did you buy it for anything?" They said, "No." He said, "Indeed, these are its owners, so return the land to the one you bought it from and take the payment."

مِن أَرْبَابِهَا فَلَمَّا كَان الْعَشِيُّ اجْتَمَعَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَدَعَاه فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ ابْتَعْتَ الْأَرْضَ؟ قَالَ مِنْ أَرْبَابِهَا قَالَ «هَل بِعْتُمُوهُ شَيْئًا؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَرْبَابُهَا فَرُدَّ الْأَرْضَ إِلَى مَنِ اشْتَرَيْتَ واقْبِضَ الثَّمَنَ»

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "In it, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hellfire are closed. The devils are chained in it, and a caller announces every night, 'O seeker of good, come forward, and O seeker of evil, refrain.'"

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ تُفْتَحُ فِيه أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ وَتُغْلَقُ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ ويُغَلُّ فِيه الشَّيَاطِينُ وَيُنَادِي فِيه مُنَادٍ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ يَا بَاغِيَ الْخَيْرِ هَلُمَّ وَيَا بَاغِيَ الشَّرِّ اقْتَصِرْ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "When the month of Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained up. A caller announces: 'O seeker of goodness, come forward, and O seeker of evil, restrain yourself until the month is over."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا جَاءَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ وَغُلِّقَتْ أَبْوَابُ النَّارِ وَصُفِّدَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ وَنَادَى مُنَادٍ يَا طَالِبَ الْخَيْرِ هَلُمَّ وَيَا طَالِبَ الشَّرِّ اقْتَصِرْ حَتَّى يَنْسَلِخَ الشَّهْرُ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ noticed a delay among his companions, so he called out to them saying, "O companions of Surah Al-Baqarah!"

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى فِي أَصْحَابِهِ تَأَخُّرًا فَنَادَى فِيهِم يَا أَصْحَابَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ

[Machine] We were at the threshold of a woman's house, refreshing ourselves and going out, when he (the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) had the best fragrance among us. It wouldn't increase beyond what he spread (of fragrance). So we asked him, "What is this scent?" He (the Prophet) said, "I was given some perfume during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I complained about it to him. He commanded me to wear my garment, meaning to cover my private parts, then he saliva-ed in his hand and wiped it on my back and stomach."

كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُتْبَةَ نِسْوَةً نَتَطَيَّبُ ونَخْرُجُ وَهُو أطْيَبُنَا رِيحًا مَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى أَنْ يَدَّهِنَ فَقُلْنَا لَه مَا هَذِه الرِّيحُ؟ قَالَ أَخَذَنِي الشَّرَى عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِك إِلَيْه «فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَلْبَسَ عَلَيَّ ثَوْبِي يَعْنِي يُغَطِّي فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ تَفَلَ فِي يَدِهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهَا ظَهْرِي وَبَطْنِي»

[Machine] We were at the threshold of a woman's house, and each one of us wanted to have a nicer scent than her neighbor. The threshold had the sweetest aroma. Whenever a breeze would come out, it would smell good. So, I asked her about it, and she said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had spat on it once, and it complained to him. So, he ordered it, sat in front of it, placed his hand on it, then he spat on his hand and wiped it on its back and belly.

كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُتْبَةَ نِسْوَةً وَإنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنَّا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَطْيَبَ رِيحًا مِن صَاحِبَتِهَا وَكَانَ عُتْبَةُ أَطْيَبَ رِيحًا وَكَان إِذَا خَرَجَ عُرِفَ مِن رِيحٍ طَيِّبََةٍ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنْ ذَلِك فَقَالَتْ اتَّخَذَهُ الشَّرَى عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَشَكَا ذَلِك إِلَيْه «فَأَمَرَهُ فَقَعَدَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَجَعَلَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَرْجِهِ ثُمّ تَفَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي يَدِهِ فَمَسَحَ ظَهْرَهُ وَبَطْنَهُ»

[Machine] We were three women of the Umm Katha, so we would apply perfume. The most fragrant among us was the one who would anoint her head and beard, and when someone asked him, "O son of Farqad, how fragrant you are!" She replied to him, "We apply perfume and it does not exceed anointing our head and beard, and you are the most fragrant among us. Why is that?" He said, "I have been struck by a disease, so he said 'lower your clothes,' so I approached him and he took the lower part of my garment and placed it on my lap, then he spread his hands and breathed into them. Then, he wiped one hand on the other, and wiped one on my stomach and the other on my back. This scent is from that."

كُنَّا ثَلَاثَ نِسْوَةٍ لِعُتْبَةَ فَكُنَّا نَتَطَيَّبُ فَكَانَ أَطْيَبَنَا رِيحًا وَكَانَ لَا يَزِيدَ عَلَى أَنْ يَدْهُنَ رَأْسَهُ وَلِحْيَتَهُ فَيَقُولُ لَه الْقَائِلُ يَا ابْنَ فَرْقَدٍ مَا أَطْيَبَ رِيحَكَ؟ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّا نَتَطَيَّبُ وَمَا تَزِيدُ عَلَى أَنْ تَدْهُنَ رَأْسَكَ وَلِحْيَتَكَ وَأَنْتَ أطْيَبُنَا رِيحًا فَبِمَ ذَلِك؟ فَقَالَ أَصَابَنِي شَرَاءٌ فَقَالَ ادْنُهْ فَدَنَوْتُ فَأَخَذَ إِزَارِي بِسُفْلِهِ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى فَرْجِي ثُمّ بَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ فَنَفَثَ فِيهِمَا فَمَسَحَ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى وَمَسَحَ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى بَطْنِي وَالْأُخْرَى عَلَى ظَهْرِي فَهَذِهِ الرِّيحُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] The Prophet (PBUH) was asked which of the two terms Moses fulfilled. He said, "He preferred and fulfilled both." The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said that when Moses wanted to part from Shuayb ﷺ , he told his wife to ask her father to give her his livestock so that they could sustain themselves. So, he gave her the produce of his livestock from that year, which were all of the same color. When the livestock returned to the watering hole, Moses ﷺ stood in front of it and nothing came out of it except for a blow to its side. So, it conceived and all of them gave birth to offspring of the same color, without any defects, lumps, or blemishes. And there was not even a drop that escaped from his grasp. He said, "If you open the Sham (Greater Syria region) and find remnants of it, then take it. And it is the Samiriyyah." Ibn Yahya bin Bukayr said, my father said, "The 'Fashush' is the boundary where its milk is mixed during milking, and the 'Dabub' is the udder that swells when milked, and the 'Kamshah' is the drop that is missed during milking."

سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَيُّ الْأَجَلَيْنِ قَضَى مُوسَى؟ قَالَ «أَبَرَّهُمَا وَأَوْفَاهُمَا» وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إنَّ مُوسَى لَمَّا أَرَادَ فِرَاقَ شُعَيْبٍ عَلَيْه السَّلَامُ قَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ أَبَاهَا أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا غَنَمِهِ مَا تَعِيشُ بِهِ فَأَعْطَاهَا مَا نُتِجَتْ غَنَمُهُ فِي ذَلِك الْعَامِ مِن قالبِ لَوْنٍ وَاحِدٍ فَلَمَّا وَرَدَتْ الْغَنَمُ الْحَوْضَ وَقَفَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِإِزَاءِ الْحَوْضِ فَلَمْ يَصْدُرْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا ضَرَبَ جَنْبَهَا فَحَمَلَتْ فَنُتِجَتْ كُلُّهُنُّ قالبَ لَوْنٍ وَاحِدٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِنَّ فَشُوشٌ وَلَا ضَبُوبٌ وَلَا نَعُولٌ وَلَا كَمْشَةٌ تَفُوتُهُ الْكَفُّ قَالَ فَإِنِ افْتَتَحْتُمُ الشَّامَ وَجَدْتُمْ بَقَايَا مِنْهَا فَاتَّخِذُوها وَهِي السَّامِرِيَّةُ قَالَ ابْنُ يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ أَبِي «الْفَشُوشُ الَّتِي يَنْفُشُ لَبَنُهَا عِنْدَ الْحَلْبِ والضَّبُوبُ الَّتِي يَضِبُّ ضَرْعُهَا عَلَى اللَّبَنِ عِنْدَ الْحَلْبِ وَالْكَمْشَةُ الَّتِي تَعْتَاضُ عِنْدَ الْحَلْبِ»

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day, and he recited "Ta-Seen" until he reached the story of Musa ﷺ . He said, "Indeed, Musa hired himself out for eight or ten years in order to observe chastity of his private parts and to provide for his stomach."

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَقَرَأَ طس حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغ قِصَّةَ مُوسَى ﷺ قَالَ إنَّ مُوسَى أَجَّرَ نَفْسَهُ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ أَو عَشْرًا عَلَى عِفَّةِ فَرْجِهِ وَطَعَامِ بَطْنِهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you prepare for war and the spoils are allowed, and the battle intensifies, the best form of jihad is to be steadfast in your position."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا انْتَاطَ غَزْوُكُمْ وَاسْتُحِلَّتِ الْغَنَائِمُ وَكَثُرَتِ الْعَزَائِمُ فَخَيْرُ جِهادِكُمْ الرِّبَاطُ»
