[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ expressing concern for his ummah regarding six things: the dominance of women, the increase in law enforcement, bribery in judgment, cutting off family ties, the devaluation of bloodshed, and the improper use of the Quran as hymns, where they would give precedence to a man who is not the most knowledgeable or the most virtuous to recite it for them, engaging in singing.

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ سِتَّ خِصَالٍ إِمْرَةُ الصِّبْيَانِ وَكَثْرَةُ الشُّرَطِ وَالرِّشْوَةُ فِي الْحُكْمِ وَقَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ واسْتِخْفَافُ بِالدَّمِ وَنَشْوٌ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ بِأَفْقَهِهِمْ وَلَا أَفْضَلِهِمْ يُغَنِّيهِمْ غِنَاءً

[Machine] "So he informed him and gathered between us, and he continued to be a Christian until he confessed. So he ordered for him a wooden stick that was carved, then he said, 'This is their covenant, so fulfill their covenant as they have fulfilled yours. But if they change, then there is no more covenant for them.' And he ordered for him to be crucified."

فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَجَمَعَ بَيْنَنَا وَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِالنَّصْرَانِي حَتَّى اعْتَرَفَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِخَشَبَةٍ فَنُحِتَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «لِهَؤُلَاءِ عَهْدٌ فَفُوا بِعَهْدِهِمْ مَا وَفَوْا لَكُمْ فَإِذَا بَدَّلُوا فَلَا عَهْدَ لَهُمْ وَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَصُلِبَ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , went out to us during the migration while he was terrified and he said, "Obey me as I was among you and upon you is the implementation of the commands of Allah: make lawful what He has made lawful and forbid what He has forbidden."

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ وَهُوَ مَرْعُوبٌ فَقَالَ «أَطِيعُونِي مَا كُنْتُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِآيَاتِ اللهِ أَحِلُّوا حَلَالَهُ وَحَرِّمُوا حَرَامَهُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Visit the sick and follow the funeral processions."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «عُودُوا الْمَرِيضَ وَاتَّبِعُوا الْجَنَائِزَ»

“War is deceit.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2833)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْحَرْبُ خُدْعَةٌ»

[Machine] "To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , my companion, who I saw with me buying a bow and gifting it to me. Should I take it from him?" The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "No." Then he waited until the next year, and when the time came again, he asked: "O Messenger of Allah, should I take it?" He said: "No." Then he waited until the next year, and when the time came again, he asked: "O Messenger of Allah, should I take that bow?" He said: "No." He asked: "Should I take it, O Messenger of Allah, so he can have it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do you want to meet Allah, O Awf, on the Day of Resurrection and have a burning coal between your shoulders?"

لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَاحِبِي الَّذِي رَأَيْتَهُ مَعِيَ اشْتَرَى قَوْسًا وَأَهْدَاهَا إِلَيَّ أَفَآخُذُهَا مِنْهُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا» ثُمَّ مَكَثَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ رَأْسُ الْحَوْلِ عَادَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ آخُذُهَا؟ قَالَ «لَا» ثُمَّ مَكَثَ حَتَّى كَانَ رَأْسُ الْحَوْلِ قَالَ آخُذُ تِلْكَ الْقَوْسَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قَالَ أَفَلَا آخُذُهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَيَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تَلْقَى اللهَ يَا عَوْفٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَبَيْنَ كَتِفَيْكَ جَمْرَةٌ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ؟»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , ruled between two men. The one whose ruling went against him said, "Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs." The Prophet, ﷺ , said, "Return it to him or rather give it to the man?" He replied, "Indeed, Allah praises the wise but blames the incapable. And when something overwhelms you," or he said, "when the matter overwhelms you, then say, 'Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.'"

قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَقَالَ الْمَقْضِيُّ عَلَيْهِ حَسْبِيَ اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «رُدُّوهُ أَوْ قَالَ عَلِيَّ الرَّجُلَ؟» فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ يَحْمَدُ عَلَى الْكَيْسِ ويَلُومُ عَلَى الْعَجْزِ وَإِذَا غَلَبَكَ الشَّيْءُ» أَوْ قَالَ الْأَمْرُ فَقُلْ «حَسْبِيَ اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ»

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became insane when he was five years old, and it is claimed that he became insane and hit himself on the face with a hanging bucket in his house."

أَنَّهُ عَقَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ عَقَلَ مَجَّةً مَجَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَجْهِهِ مِنْ دَلْوٍ مُعَلَّقٍ فِي دَارهِمْ»

[Machine] Narrated by 'Aabis Al-Ghifaari, the companion of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that he was on a rooftop and he saw people traveling. He asked, "What is happening with the people?" They said, "They are traveling to escape from the plague." He said, "O plague, take me! O plague, take me! O plague, take me!" His nephew said to him, "He wishes for death, while the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'Do not wish for death, for it cuts off one's actions and the person will not be rewarded anymore.'"

عَنْ عَابِسٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى سَطْحٍ فَرَأَى النَّاسَ يَتَرَحَّلُونَ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالُوا يَتَرَحَّلُونَ مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ قَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ يُتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتُ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ الْعَمَلَ وَلَا يَرُدُّ الرَّجُلَ فَيُسْتَعْتَبُ؟»

[Machine] From Aabis Al-Ghifari, companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "I was on the rooftop and I saw people moving around. So I asked, 'What is the matter with the people?' They said, 'They are fleeing from the plague.' He said, 'O plague, take me! O plague, take me! O plague, take me!' Then his nephew's son said to him, 'He wishes for death while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Do not wish for death, for it cuts off the opportunity for doing good deeds and a person may be overtaken by some torment'."

عَنْ عَابِسٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى سَطْحٍ فَرَأَى النَّاسَ يَتَرَحَّلُونَ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالُوا يَتَرَحَّلُونَ مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ قَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ يُتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتُ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ الْعَمَلَ وَلَا يَرُدُّ الرَّجُلَ فَيُسْتَعْتَبُ؟»

[Machine] I was with Abis Al-Ghifari on the back of a donkey in Basra when he saw people carrying to escape from the plague. He said, "Oh plague, take me to you, Oh plague, take me to you, Oh plague, take me to you." His cousin said to him, "He had companionship, why would he wish for death?" And I heard the Messenger of Allah say, "None of you should wish for death, for when he wishes for it, his lifespan is cut off."

كُنْتُ مَعَ عَابِسٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ عَلَى ظَهْرِ أَجَارٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَرَأَى النَّاسُ يَتَحَمَّلُونَ لِيَهْرَبُوا مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ لِمَ يَتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ؟ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ فَيَكُونَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ انْقِطَاعُ أَجَلِهِ»

[Machine] I was with Aabis Al-Ghifari on the back of a donkey in Basra when he saw people running away from the plague. He said, "O plague, take me to you, O plague, take me to you, O plague, take me to you." His cousin said to him, "He had companionship, why would he wish for death?" And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "None of you should wish for death, for when he dies, he will have his appointed time cut off."

كُنْتُ مَعَ عَابِسٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ عَلَى ظَهْرِ أَجَارٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ فَرَأَى النَّاسُ يَتَحَمَّلُونَ لِيَهْرَبُوا مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ لِمَ يَتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ؟ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ فَيَكُونَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ انْقِطَاعُ أَجَلِهِ»

[Machine] We were with him above a rent he had, and a group passed by who were carrying something. He said, "Who are these?" It was said, "They are fleeing from the plague." He said, "Oh plague, take me, oh plague, take me, oh plague, take me." His cousin's son said to him, and he had a companion who wished for death, and I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "None of you should wish for death, for indeed, the death is the last action of the believer; it does not return, so he regrets it?" He said, "Oh son of my cousin, I hasten to something I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that will happen in the end of times that my nation will fear: the rule of fools, the abundance of police forces, the trivialization of blood, the severance of family ties, and a growth in which they will take the Quran as songs, and they will give precedence to a man who is not the most knowledgeable or the most understanding of their religion, and among them will be someone who is more knowledgeable and more understanding than him, but they will prefer him to entertain them with singing."

كُنَّا مَعَهُ فَوْقَ أَجَارٍ لَهُ فَمَرَّ قَوْمٌ يَتَحَمَّلُونَ فَقَالَ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قِيلَ يَفِرُّونَ مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ أَخٍ لَهُ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ تَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ فَإِنَّ الْمَوْتَ آخِرُ عَمَلِ الْمُؤْمِنِ لَا يَرْجِعُ فَيُسْتَعْتَبُ؟» فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنِّي أُبَادِرُ خِلَالًا سَمِعْتُهُنَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَكُنَّ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ يَتَخَوَّفْهُنَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ «إِمَارَةُ السُّفَهَاءِ وَكَثْرَةُ الشُّرَطِ واسْتِخْفَافٌ بِالدَّمِ وَقَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ وَنَشْوٌ يَنْشَأُ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ بِأَفْقَهِهِمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَا بِأَعْلَمِهِمْ وَفِيهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ يُقَدِّمُونَهُمْ لِيُغَنِّيَهُمْ غِنَاءً»

[Machine] We were with 'Abis al-Ghifari riding on the back of a mule when he saw some people bearing a burden. He asked, "What is the matter with them?" They replied, "They are fleeing from the plague." 'Abis said, "O plague, take me to yourself." His cousin said to him, and he had a companion who was desirous of dying, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No one of you should wish for death.' " 'Abis said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Hasten to do good deeds before six things happen: the emergence of foolish leaders, increasing number of policemen, selling of judgments, disregard for shedding blood, severing of kindred ties and people resorting to singing verses of the Qur'an to one another even though the least of them had knowledge of it.' "

كُنَّا مَعَ عَابِسٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ عَلَى ظَهْرِ أَجَارٍ فَأَبْصَرَ أُنَاسًا يَتَحَمَّلُونَ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ فَقَالَ يَفِرُّونَ مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ قَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ تَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ» قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ بَادِرُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ سِتًّا إِمَارَةُ السُّفَهَاءِ وَكَثْرَةُ الشُّرَطِ وَبَيْعُ الْحُكْمِ واسْتِخْفَافٌ بِالدَّمِ وَقَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ وَنَشْوٌ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَ أَحَدُهُمْ لِيُغَنِّيَهُمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَقَلُّهُمْ فِقْهًا

[Machine] What is wrong with them? They said they are fleeing from the plague. He said, "Oh plague, take me to you." His cousin said to him, "Do you wish for death?" He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Wish for death at six occasions: during the reign of fools, when seeking power, when being careless with bloodshed, when making excessive conditions, when severing family ties, and when people make the Quran songs, preferring someone to sing it for them even though they are not the most knowledgeable among them.'"

مَا لَهُمْ؟ قَالُوا يَفِرُّونَ مِنَ الطَّاعُونِ فَقَالَ يَا طَاعُونُ خُذْنِي إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ أَتَتَمَنَّى الْمَوْتَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ عِنْدَ خِصَالٍ سِتٍّ عِنْدَ إِمَارَةِ السُّفَهَاءِ وَبَيْعِ الْحُكْمِ واسْتِخْفَافٍ بِالدَّمِ وَكَثْرَةِ الشُّرَطِ وَقَطِيعَةِ الرَّحِمِ وَنَشْوٍ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ يُقَدِّمُونَ الرَّجُلَ لِيُغَنِّيَهُمْ وَلَيْسَ بِأَفْقَهِهِمْ زَادَ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْإِسْنَادِ عُلَيْمًا الْكِنْدِيِّ

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , there were nine or eight or seven of us. He said, "Do you not give allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?" He repeated it three times. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have already given you allegiance, so why should we give you allegiance again?" He said, "To worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, to establish the five daily prayers, and to keep confidential matters secret without asking people about them."

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تِسْعَةٌ أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةٌ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تُبَايِعُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» فَرَدَّدَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ فَعَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا اللهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَالصَّلواتُ الْخَمْسُ وَأَسَرَّ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً لَا تَسْأَلُونَ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions, "Will you not give me your pledge of loyalty?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, we have already given you our pledge of loyalty once, so why should we give it to you again?" He said this three times, then he said, "Give me your pledge of loyalty to not associate anything with Allah, to establish prayer, to give zakat, to listen and obey, and then to follow a hidden word, and to not ask people for anything."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «أَلَا تُبَايِعُونِي؟» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ بَايَعْنَاكَ مَرَّةً فَعَلَامَ نُبَايِعُكَ؟ قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ «تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وتَسْمَعُوا وَتُطِيعُوا ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ ذَلِكَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً وَعَلَى أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلُوا النَّاسَ شَيْئًا»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to wipe over the leather socks for the traveler for three days and nights during the Battle of Tabuk, and for the resident for one day and night.

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَنَا بِالْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكٍ لِلْمُسَافِرِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيهِنَّ وَلِلْمُقِيمِ يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ»

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah while he was in a tent made of adobe. He then performed a complete and perfect ablution. He said, "O 'Awf, prepare six (armies) in front of me before the hour." I asked, "What are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "They are my death." I then became speechless. He said, "Say one." I said, "One." He said, "The second is the conquest of Jerusalem, the third is two deaths among you like the sleep of sheep, and the fourth is the abundance of wealth until a man is given a hundred dinars and he will be upset by it. Then there will be a time of peace between you and the Banu Asfar (Romans), followed by betrayal from them. They will come to you under eighty banners, each banner consisting of twelve thousand (soldiers)."

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي خَيْمَةٍ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءًا مَكِينًا فَقَالَ «يَا عَوْفُ اعْدُدْ سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ» قُلْتُ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «مَوْتِي» قَالَ فَوَجَمْتُ لَهَا قَالَ «قُلْ إِحْدَى» قُلْتُ إِحْدَى وَالثَّانِيَةُ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَالثَّالِثَةُ مُوتَانٌ فِيكُمْ كَنُعَاسِ الْغَنَمِ وَالرَّابِعَةُ إِفَاضَةُ الْمَالِ حَتَّى يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلَّ يَسْخَطُهَا ثُمَّ فِتْنَةٌ لَا يَبْقَى بَيْتُ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْهُ وَهُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ ثُمَّ يَغْدِرُونَ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً كُلُّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was in a small room made of adobe. I greeted him and said, "May I come in?" He said, "Come in." So I entered and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution as it should be done. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I follow you completely?" He said, "Yes, follow me." After I sat down, he said to me, "Prepare yourself for six special events that will occur before the Day of Judgment." Awf said, "I was terrified by this statement, and I had never been so terrified before." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Tell me one of them." I said, "One of them is the conquest of Jerusalem." He said, "And a plague that will cause the death of Arabs, a disease that will spread among them like the disease of sheep. And your wealth will be abundant until someone is given a hundred dinars and remains unhappy. And there will be a truce between you and the Banu Asfar, but they will betray you and attack you with an army of eighty banners, under each banner there will be twelve thousand soldiers."

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي خِبَاءٍ لَهُ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ أَدْخُلُ؟ قَالَ «ادْخُلْ» فَأَدْخَلْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءًا مَكِينًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَدْخُلُ كُلِّي؟ قَالَ «كُلُّكَ» فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ قَالَ لِي «اعْدُدْ سِتَّ خِصَالٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ مَوْتُ نَبِيِّكُمْ» قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَوَجَمْتُ لِذَلِكَ وَجْمَةً مَا وَجَمْتُ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ قَالَ «قُلْ إِحْدَى» قُلْتُ إِحْدَى قَالَ «وَفَتَحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَفِتْنَةٌ تَكُونُ فِيهَا مُوتَانُ الْعَرَبِ وَهُوَ دَاءٌ يَأْخُذْكُمْ كَعُقَاصِ الْغَنَمِ وَيَفْشُو الْمَالُ فِيكُمْ حَتَّى يُعْطَى الرَّجُلُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلَّ سَاخِطًا وَهُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ فَيَغْدِرُونَ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا»

[Machine] I went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , while he was in a building. I greeted him and he said, "Awf ibn Malik?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Enter." I said, "Should I bring my entire food or just a part of it?" He said, "No, bring all of it." He then said to me, "O Awf, prepare six things before the Hour, the first of which is my death." I started crying until he made me quiet, then he said to me, "Say one." So I said one. He said, "and the second?" I said two. He said, "and the third? It will be two deaths that will befall my Ummah, taking them away like the sound of a bell." So I said three. He said, "and the fourth? It will be a trial that will occur in my Ummah, and it will be great." Then he said, "Say four." So I said four. He said, "and the fifth? Wealth will overflow among you to the extent that a man will be given a hundred dinars and he will be displeased with it." So I said five. He said, "and the sixth? There will be a truce between you and the people of the yellow race, and they will march against you with an army of eighty thousand, under each flag there will be twelve thousand soldiers of the Muslims, in a land called Ghouta near a city called Damascus."

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي بِنَاءٍ لَهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ؟» فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «ادْخُلْ» فَقُلْتُ أَكُلِّي أَوْ بَعْضِي؟ فَقَالَ «بَلْ كُلُّكَ» فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَوْفُ اعْدُدْ سِتًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ أَوَّلُهُنَّ مَوْتِي وَاسْتَبْكَيْتُ حَتَّى جَعَلَ يُسْكِتُنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي «قُلْ إِحْدَى» فَقَالَ وَالثَّانِيَةُ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ قُلْ ثِنْتَانِ فَقُلْتُ ثِنْتَانِ فَقَالَ وَالثَّالِثَةُ مُوتَانٌ يَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي يَأْخُذَهُمْ مِثْلَ عِقَاصِ الْغَنَمِ قُلْ ثَلَاثٌ فَقُلْتُ ثَلَاثٌ فَقَالَ وَالرَّابِعَةُ فِتْنَةٌ تَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي وَعَظَّمَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ قُلْ أَرْبَعٌ فَقُلْتُ أَرْبَعٌ فَقَالَ وَالْخَامِسَةُ يَفِيضُ فِيكُمُ الْمَالُ حَتَّى أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُعْطَى الْمِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَسْخَطَهَا قُلْ خَمْسٌ فَقُلْتُ خَمْسٌ فَقَالَ وَالسَّادِسَةُ يَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ هُدْنَةٌ فَيَسِيرُونَ عَلِيْكُمْ عَلَى ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا فُسْطَاطُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي أَرْضٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا الْغُوطَةُ فِي مَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا دِمَشْقُ

[Machine] "There is no sin except that I know its repentance." It was asked, "And what is its repentance?" He said, "To abandon it and not return to it."

«مَا مِنْ ذَنْبٍ إِلَّا وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ تَوْبَتَهُ» قِيلَ وَمَا تَوْبَتُهُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ يَتْرُكَهُ ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودَ»

[Machine] To be on Friday at one of the three times, when the muezzin calls the prayer, when the imam climbs the pulpit, and during the iqama.

أَنْ تَكُونَ سَاعَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي إِحْدَى السَّاعَاتِ الثَّلَاثِ إِذَا أَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ وَإِذَا أَمَّ الْإِمَامُ الْمِنْبَرَ وَعِنْدَ الْإِقَامَةِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at the sky one day and said, "This is the time when knowledge is being raised." A man from the Ansar, whose name was Ziyad bin Labid, said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, is knowledge being raised even though you have come and established it in the hearts?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If I thought you were one of the most knowledgeable people of Madinah, then I would." Then he explained to him the misguidance of the Jews and the Christians regarding what is in their hands of the Book of Allah. So I met Shaddad bin Aws and narrated to him the Hadith of Awf. He said, "Awf spoke the truth. Shall I tell you about the first thing that is raised? It is humility, which is not visible in a person."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ «هَذَا أَوَانٌ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ زِيَادُ بْنُ لَبِيدٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ يُرْفَعُ الْعِلْمُ وَقَدْ أَتَيْتَ وَوَعَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْسَبُكَ مِنْ أَفْقَهِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ لَهُ ضَلَالَةَ الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ فَلَقِيتُ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ عَوْفٌ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَوَّلِ ذَلِكَ يُرْفَعُ؟ قَالَ «الْخُشُوعُ لَا تَرَى خَاشِعًا»

I heard the Prophet ﷺ say (while offering prayer on a dead body): O Allah! forgive him, have mercy upon him. Give him peace and absolve him. Receive him with honour and make his grave spacious. Wash him with water, snow and hail, cleanse him from faults as is cleaned a white garment from impurity. Requite him with an abode more excellent than his abode, with a family better than his family, and with a mate better than his mate, and save him from the trial of the grave and torment of Hell. 'Auf b. Malik said: I earnestly desired that I were the dead person to receive the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as this dead body had (received). (Using translation from Muslim 963d)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى عَلَى الْجَنَازَةِ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ واعْفُ عَنْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِمَاءٍ وَثَلْجٍ وَبَرَدْ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَأَنْزِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجَهِ وَقِهِ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابَ النَّارِ» قَالَ عَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا الْمَيِّتُ لِدُعَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over a funeral, and I memorized his supplication in which he said, "O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, grant him good health, pardon him, honor his abode, enlarge his entrance, cleanse him with water, snow, and hail, purify him from sins as a white garment is cleansed from dirt, replace his home with a better one, his family with a better one, and his spouse with a better one. Enter him into paradise and protect him from the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the fire." Until I wished that I was that deceased person.

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى جَنَازَةٍ فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ واعْفُ عَنْهُ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ» حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا ذَلِكَ الْمَيِّتُ

[Machine] "When the Prophet ﷺ received spoils, he would divide them among his companions. He would give double to the married men and give a single share to the bachelors."

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَتَى الْفَيْءُ قَسَّمَهُ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ فَأَعْطَى الْأَهْلَ حَظَّيْنِ وَأَعْطَى الْأَعْزَبَ حَظًّا»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to divide his day when there was something (to distribute). He would give two shares to the families and one share to the unmarried. So we were invited and I was invited before 'Ammar bin Yasir, so I was given one share. He became angry and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , knew about that. And whoever attended him, there remained a leftover of gold, so the Prophet, ﷺ , would raise it with the end of his stick and it would fall. Then he would raise it again and it would fall, and he would say, "How are you on the day it is bestowed upon you from this (gold)?" No one responded to him, so 'Ammar bin Yasir said, "By Allah, we would have been patient if it had been bestowed upon us," and whoever had patience would be tested, and whoever would be tested would fall into temptation. So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to him, "Perhaps you are one of those who are tempted by evil."

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا جَاءَهُ فَيْءٌ قَسَّمَهُ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ فَأَعْطَى الْأَهْلَ حَظَّيْنِ وَأَعْطَى الْأَعْزَبَ حَظًّا وَاحِدًا فَدُعِينَا وَكُنْتُ أُدْعَى قَبْلَ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ فَأُعْطَى حَظًّا وَاحِدًا فَتَسَخَّطَ حَتَّى عَرَفَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَنْ حَضَرَهُ فَبَقِيَتْ فَضْلَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَرْفَعُهَا بِطَرَفِ عَصَاهُ فَتَسْقُطُ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا فَتَسْقُطُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَ يُكْنَزُ لَكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا؟» فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ وَدِدْنَا وَاللهِ لَوْ أُكْنِزَ لَنَا فَصَبَرَ مَنْ صَبَرَ وَفُتِنَ مَنْ فُتِنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَعَلَّكَ تَكُونُ فِيهِ شَرٌّ مَفْتُونٌ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised a piece of gold chain that remained from the booty with his staff and said, "How would you feel if this is preserved for you?" No one answered him, so a man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Allah, we would wish if it were preserved for us. Whoever can be patient, let him be patient, and whoever is tested, let him be tested." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Perhaps you will be an afflicted evil."

رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قِطْعَةَ سِلْسِلَةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بَقِيَتْ مِنَ الْفَيْءِ بِعَصَاهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَ يُكْنَزُ لَكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا؟» فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَاللهِ لَوَدِدْنَا لَوْ أُكْنِزَ لَنَا مِنْهُ فَصَبَرَ مَنْ صَبَرَ وَفُتِنَ مَنْ فُتِنَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ شَرٌّ مَفْتُونٌ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ once set out and I was with him until we entered the synagogue of the Jews on their festival day. They disliked his entering upon them, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Jews, show me twelve men among you who testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, so that Allah may remove the wrath from every Jew under the sky." They remained silent and none of them answered. Then he repeated his request three times, but no one answered him. He said, "Have you repudiated? By Allah, I am the Caller; I am the Seal and I am the Embosser. Have you believed or denied?" Then he left and I was with him until we almost reached the exit, when a man called from behind him, saying, "As you are, O Muhammad." So he turned and said, "Who is that man? O Jews, do you know him among you?" They said, "By Allah, we do not know anyone among us who is more knowledgeable than you in the Book of Allah, or more understanding than you, or more knowledgeable than your father before you, or more knowledgeable than your grandfather before your father." He said, "Then I testify for him by Allah, that he is the Prophet of Allah whom you find in the Torah." They said, "You have lied." Then they refuted him and said evil things about him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You have lied, we will not accept your statement." Then we left, and it was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Ibn Salam, and I. And Allah revealed, (Say: 'Have you considered: if it is from Allah and you disbelieve in it, and a witness from the Children of Israel testifies to its similarity and has believed, while you are arrogant...') [Sahih al-Bukhari] [Sahih Muslim]

انْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا كَنِيسَةَ الْيَهُودِ يَوْمَ عِيدِهِمْ فَكَرِهُوا دُخُولَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ أَرُونِيَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ يَحُطُّ اللهُ عَنْ كُلِّ يَهُودِيِّ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ الْغَضَبَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ» فَأَسْكَتُوا مَا أَجَابَهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ ثَلَّثَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ «أَبَيْتُمْ فَوَاللهِ لَأَنَا الْحَاشِرُ وَأَنَا الْعَاقِبُ وَأَنَا الْمُقَفِّي آمَنْتُمْ أَوْ كَذَّبْتُمْ» ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَنَّنَا كِدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ نَادَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَقَالَ كَمَا أَنْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدٌ فَأَقْبَلَ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ تَعْلَمُونَ فِيكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ؟ قَالُوا وَاللهِ مَا نَعْلَمُ فِينَا رَجُلًا كَانَ أَعْلَمُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَلَا أَفْقَهُ مِنْكَ وَلَا مِنْ أَبِيكَ قَبْلَكَ وَلَا مِنْ جَدِّكَ قَبْلَ أَبِيكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِاللهِ أَنَّهُ نَبِيُّ اللهِ الَّذِي تَجِدُونَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ قَالُوا كَذَبْتَ ثُمَّ رُدُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَقَالُوا فِيهِ شَرًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَذَبْتُمْ لَنْ نَقْبَلَ قَوْلَكُمْ» قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَابْنُ سَلَامٍ وَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ وَكَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى مِثْلِهِ فَآمَنَ وَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ}

[Machine] That the messenger of Allah ﷺ did not give away the spoils and that a man named Maddiyyan was his companion in the Battle of Mu'tah on the outskirts of Syria, and they encountered the enemy. A Roman soldier intensified his attack on the Muslims and he was riding a chestnut horse with a golden saddle and a golden belt and a sword made of gold. He would strike with it, treating him gently, until the Maddadiyyan passed him, turning to attack his horse, and he fell. Then he climbed on him with a sword and killed him. When Allah defeated the Romans, evidence was found for the Maddadiyyan indicating that he killed him. Khalid gave him his sword and a fifth of his wealth. Awf said, "I spoke to Khalid ibn al-Walid and said, 'Don't you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decreed that the spoils belong to the killer?' He said, 'Yes, but I wanted it for myself.'" Awf said, "There was a conversation between me and him." So I said, "By Allah, I will inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of your story." Awf said, "When we gathered with the Prophet ﷺ , Awf mentioned what had happened and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What prevented you from giving it to him?' Khalid said, 'I wanted it for myself.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Give it to him.' Awf said, 'I said to Khalid, 'How did you see, O Khalid? Did I not fulfill what I promised you?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and said to Khalid, 'Do not give it to him,' and he said, 'You are not leaving my command.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُخَمِّسِ السَّلَبَ وَأَنَّ مَدَدِيًّا كَانَ رَفِيقًا لَهُ فِي غَزْوَةِ مُؤْتَةَ فِي طَرَفِ الشَّامِ فَلَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ فَجَعَلَ الرُّومِيُّ مِنْهُمْ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ أَشْقَرَ وَسَرْجٍ مُذْهَبٍ وَمِنْطَقَةٍ مُلَطَّخَةٍ بِذَهَبٍ وَسَيْفٍ مُحَلًّى مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَيُغْزِي بِهِمْ فَيَلْطُفُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ الْمَدَدِيُّ حَتَّى مَرَّ بِهِ فَعَرْقَبَ فَرَسَهُ فَوَقَعَ ثُمَّ عَلَاهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَلَمَّا هَزَمَ اللهُ الرُّومَ قَامَتِ الْبَيِّنَةُ لِلْمَدَدِيِّ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ خَالِدٌ سَيْفَهُ وَخُمْسَ مَالِهِ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَكَلَّمَتُ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ فَقُلْتُ أَمَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى بِالسَّلَبِ لِلْقَاتِلِ؟ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ قَالَ عَوْفٌ وَكَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ كَلَامٌ فَقُلْتُ وَاللهِ لَأُخْبِرَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَبَرَكَ قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ذَكَرَ عَوْفٌ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ إِلَيْهِ؟» فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ قَالَ «ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ» قَالَ عَوْفٌ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ يَا خَالِدُ أَلَمْ أُنْجِزْ لَكَ مَا وَعَدْتُكَ؟ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ لِخَالِدٍ «لَا تُعْطِهِ» وَقَالَ «مَا أَنْتُمْ بِتَارِكِي لِي أُمَرَائِي»

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ made the spoils of war permissible for the fighters and did not divide it."

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَعَلَ السَّلَبَ لِلْمُقَاتِلِ وَلَمْ يُخَمِّسْهُ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Are you leaving my commands? Verily, my example and that of my successors is like a man who bought a camel and a cow. He raised them and then brought them to a pond. The camel drank its best water and left behind its impurities. The best water is yours, and the impurities are upon them."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِكُوا لِي أُمَرَائِي؟ فَإِنَّمَا مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى إِبِلًا وَبَقَرًا فَرَعَاهَا ثُمَّ أَوْرَدَهَا حَوْضًا فَأَشْرَعَتْ فِيهِ فَشَرِبَتْ صَفْوَهُ وَتَرَكَتْ كَدَرَهُ فَصَفْوُهُ هُوَ لَكُمْ وَكَدَرُهُ عَلَيْهِمِ»

In the pre-Islamic period we used to apply spells and we asked: Messenger of Allah ! how do you look upon it ? He replied : Submit your spells to me. There is no harm in spells so long as they involve no polytheism. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3886)

كُنَّا نَرْقِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ «اعْرِضُوا عَلِيَّ رُقَاكُمْ لَا بَأْسَ بِالرُّقَى مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ شِرْكًا»

What prevented you from giving the booty to him? Khalid said: I thought it was too much. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Hand it over to him. Now when Khalid by Auf, the latter pulled him by his cloak and said (by way of chafing him): Hasn't the same thing happened what I reported to you from the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him)? When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard it. he was angry (and said): Khalid, don't give him, Khalid, don't give him. Are you going to desert the commanders appointed by roe? Your similitude and theirs is like a person who took camels and sheep for grazing. He grazed them and when it was time for them to have a drink, he brought them to a pool. So they drank from it, drinking away its clear water and leaving the turbid water below So the clear water (i. e. the best reward) is for you and the turbid water (i e. blame) is for them. (Using translation from Muslim 1753a)

قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حِمْيَرٍ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ فَأَرَادَ سَلْبَهُ فَمَنَعَهُ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَكَانَ وَالِيًا عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَوْفٌ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ «يَا خَالِدُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ سَلْبَهُ؟» فَقَالَ اسْتَكْثَرْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «ادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ» فَمَرَّ خَالِدٌ بِعَوْفٍ فَجَرَّ بِرِدَائِهِ وَقَالَ هَلْ أَنْجَزْتُ لَكَ مَا ذَكَرْتُ لَكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاسْتُغْضِبَ وَقَالَ «لَا تُعْطِهِ يَا خَالِدُ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ تَارِكُوا أُمَرَائِي؟ إِنَّمَا مِثْلُكُمْ وَمَثَلُهُمْ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى إِبِلًا فَرَعَاهَا ثُمَّ تَحَيَّنَ سَقْيَهَا فَأَوْرَدَهَا حَوْضًا فَشَرَعَتْ فِيهِ فَشَرِبَتْ صَفْوَهُ وَتَرَكَتْ كَدَرَهُ فَصَفْوُهُ لَكُمْ وَكَدَرُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ»

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said: "My nation will split into seventy-three sects, the largest of which will be the group that relies on their own opinions and declares the forbidden as permissible, and the permissible as forbidden."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تَفْتَرِقُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى بِضْعٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً أَعْظَمُهَا فِتْنَةً عَلَى أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ يَقِيسُونَ الْأُمُورَ بِرَأْيِهِمْ فَيُحِلُّونَ الْحَرَامَ وَيُحَرِّمُونَ الْحَلَالَ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "How are you, O Awf, when this nation separates into seventy-three sects, of which only one will be in Paradise, and the rest will be in Hell?" I said, "When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "When conditions become corrupt, slave girls become leaders, young boys assume positions of authority, the Qur'an is used as musical instruments, mosques are adorned and beautified, pulpits are raised high, spoils of war are treated as property for personal gain, Zakat is neglected, trust is treacherously betrayed, people acquire knowledge of the religion for other than Allah, a man obeys his wife and disrespects his mother, and the last of this nation curses the first of it. The worst and most disgraced among them will become their leaders. The most honorable among them will be the one who fears his own evil. On that day, this will happen, and the people will be alarmed. On that day, they will rush to Ash-Sham (Greater Syria) seeking refuge from their enemy." I said, "And will Ash-Sham be opened?" He said, "Yes, very soon. Then, turmoil will occur after its opening. Then, there will come a dark, dusty calamity. Then, turmoil will follow each other until a man from my household will emerge. He will be called Al-Mahdi (the guided one). If you live to see him, then follow him and be among the guided."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا عَوْفٌ إِذَا افْتَرَقَتْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ وَسَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً وَاحِدَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَسَائِرُهُنَّ فِي النَّارِ؟» قُلْتُ وَمَتَى ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا كَثُرَتِ الشُّرَطُ وَمَلَكَتِ الْإِمَاءُ وَقَعَدَتِ الْحُمْلَانُ عَلَى الْمَنَابِرِ وَاتَّخَذُوا الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ وَزُخْرِفَتِ الْمَسَاجِدُ وَرُفِعَتِ الْمَنَابِرُ وَاتُّخِذَ الْفَيْءُ دُوَلًا وَالزَّكَاةُ مَغْرَمًا وَالْأَمَانَةُ مَغْنَمًا وَتُفُقِّهَ فِي الدِّينِ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ وَأَطَاعَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَعَقَّ أُمَّهُ وَأَقْصَى أَبَاهُ وَلَعَنَ آخِرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَوَّلَهَا وَسَادَ الْقَبِيلَةَ فَاسِقُهُمْ وَكَانَ زَعِيمُ الْقَوْمِ أَرْذَلَهُمْ وَأُكْرِمَ الرَّجُلُ اتِّقَاءَ شَرِّهِ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ وَيَفْزَعُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَى الشَّامِ تَعْصِمُهُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِمْ» قُلْتُ وَهَلْ يُفْتَحُ الشَّامُ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَشِيكًا ثُمَّ تَقَعُ الْفِتَنُ بَعْدَ فَتْحِهَا ثُمَّ تَجِيءُ فِتْنَةٌ غَبْرَاءُ مُظْلِمَةٌ ثُمَّ يَتْبَعُ الْفِتَنُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمَهْدِيُّ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُ فَاتْبَعْهُ وَكُنْ مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ»

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled for confiscation for the killer."

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى بِالسَّلَبِ لِلْقَاتِلِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among his companions and said, "Do you fear poverty or need, or are you preoccupied with worldly matters? Surely, Allah has opened for you the lands of Persia and the Byzantines, and the world is being poured upon you abundantly until it does not lead you astray, if you are not led astray by it."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلْفَقْرَ تَخَافُونَ أَوِ الْعَوَزَ أَوْ تَهُمُّكُمُ الدُّنْيَا؟ فَإِنَّ اللهَ فَاتِحٌ عَلَيْكُمْ فَارِسَ وَالرُّومَ وَتُصَبُّ عَلَيْكُمُ الدُّنْيَا صَبًّا حَتَّى لَا يُزِيغُكُمْ بَعْدُ إِنْ زِغْتُمْ إِلَّا هِيَ»

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commands you to seek protection from three things: from greed where there is no satisfaction, from greed leading to insatiability, and from greed that leads to other desires.

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَتَعَوَّذُوا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ مِنْ طَمَعٍ حَيْثُ لَا طَمَعَ وَمِنْ طَمَعٍ يَرُدُّ إِلَى طَبْعٍ وَمِنْ طَمَعٍ إِلَى غَيْرِ مَطْمَعٍ

[Machine] I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the Battle of Tabuk, in the late hours of the night while he was in his tent. I greeted him and asked, "May I enter?" He said, "Enter." I asked, "May I come all the way in?" He said, "Yes, all the way." Then he said, "There will be six signs before the Hour (Day of Judgment): First, the death of your Prophet. Say: One. I said, One. And the second is the conquest of Jerusalem. Say: Two. I said, Two. And the third is two deaths that will afflict you like the striking of a whip. Say: Three. I said, Three. And the fourth is an abundance of wealth to the extent that a man will be given a hundred dinars and he will still be unsatisfied. Say: Four. I said, Four. And the fifth is a trial that will come among you, so that no house of mud or brick will remain except that it will enter it. Say: Five. I said, Five. And the sixth is a truce between you and the yellow people, where they will gather against you and betray you after accepting a woman's carrying load. They will march forth with eighty banners, under each banner twelve thousand (soldiers)."

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكٍ فِي آخِرِ السَّحَرِ وَهُوَ فِي فُسْطَاطِهِ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أَدْخُلُ؟ فَقَالَ «ادْخُلْ» فَقُلْتُ كُلِّي؟ فَقَالَ «كُلُّكَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ سِتٌّ قَبْلَ السَّاعَةِ أَوَّلُهُنَّ مَوْتُ نَبِيِّكُمْ قُلْ إِحْدَى قُلْتُ إِحْدَى وَالثَّانِيَةُ فَتْحُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ قُلْ اثْنَتَيْنِ قُلْتُ اثْنَتَيْنِ قَالَ وَالثَّالِثَةُ مُوتَانٌ يَأْخُذُكُمْ كَقُعَاصِ الْغَنَمِ قُلْ ثَلَاثًا قُلْتُ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ وَالرَّابِعَةُ يُفِيضُ فِيكُمُ الْمَالُ حتَّىإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُعْطَى مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَيَظَلَّ يَسْخَطُهَا قُلْ أَرْبَعًا وَالْخَامِسَةُ فِتْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ فَلَا يَبْقَى فِيكُمْ بَيْتُ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْهُ قُلْ خَمْسًا قُلْتُ خَمْسًا وَالسَّادِسَةُ هُدْنَةٌ تَكُونُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لَكُمْ حَمْلَ الْمَرْأَةِ ثُمَّ يَغْدِرُونَ بِكُمْ فَيُقْبِلُونَ فِي ثَمَانِينَ رَايَةً تَحْتَ كُلِّ رَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered the mosque with a stick in his hand. He saw hanging water bags, so he pierced one of them and found water inside. He said, "Who is the owner of this? If he gives charity of something better than this, then the owner of this will eat from it on the Day of Resurrection." Then he said, "O people of Madinah, leave it for the birds and animals for forty years." It was asked, "What are the birds and animals?" He said, "Birds and beasts."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَبِيَدِهِ عَصًا فَرَأَى أَقْنَاءً مُعَلَّقَةً فَطَعَنَ فِي قِنْوٍ مِنْهَا فَإِذَا فِيهِ حَشَفٌ فَقَالَ «مَنْ صَاحِبُ هَذَا؟ لَوْ تَصَدَّقَ بِأَطْيَبِ مِنْهُ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذَا لِيَأْكُلُ الْحَشَفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ لَتَدَعُنَّهَا لِلْعَوَافِي أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا» قِيلَ وَمَا الْعَوَافِي؟ قَالَ «الطَّيْرُ وَالسِّبَاعُ»

[Machine] What is this? They said, "It's a whip." He said, "Oh no, didn't you hear the statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : 'No one should whip others except an amir (leader), a man authorized to do so, or a mukhtal (one who has been given permission).'"

عَوْفٌ مَا هَذِهِ؟ فَقَالُوا كَعْبٌ يَقُصُّ فَقَالَ يَا وَيْحَهُ أَمَا سَمِعَ حَدِيثَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَقُصُّ عَلَى النَّاسِ إِلَّا أَمِيرٌ أَوْ مَأْمُورٌ أَوْ مُخْتَالٌ»

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever stands in a position of showing off, Allah will expose him, and whoever stands in a position of seeking fame, Allah will make him heard."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ قَامَ مَقَامَ رِيَاءٍ رَاءَى اللهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ قَامَ مَقَامَ سُمْعَةٍ سَمَّعَ اللهُ بِهِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no Muslim who has three daughters and he supports them until they reach adulthood or die, except that he will have a barrier against the Fire (of Hell)." A woman asked, "What about two daughters?" He replied, "Even two."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَكُونُ لَهُ ثَلَاثُ بَنَاتٍ فَيُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتَّى يَبِنَّ أَوْ يَمُتْنَ إِلَّا كُنَّ لَهُ حِجَابًا مِنَ النَّارِ» فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ أَوِ اثْنَتَانِ؟ قَالَ «وَثِنْتَانِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I and a woman with sunken cheeks are like two women enslaved to themselves. She confined herself to her daughters until they grew up or died."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَنَا وَامْرَأَةٌ سَفْعَاءُ الْخَدَّيْنِ كَهَاتَيْنِ امْرَأَةٌ آمَتْ مِنْ نَفْسِهَا فحَبَسَتْ نَفْسَهَا عَلَى بَنَاتِهَا حَتَّى بَانُوا أَوْ مَاتُوا»

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The longer the lifespan of a Muslim, the better it is for him." He (the narrator) said, "Yes."

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «كُلَّمَا طَالَ عُمُرُ الْمُسْلِمِ كَانَ لَهُ خَيْرٌ؟» قَالَ بَلَى

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "I fear for you six things: the rule of the foolish, bloodshed, selling of positions of authority, severing of family ties, people who take the Quran as songs, and an abundance of false oaths."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ سِتًّا إِمَارَةُ السُّفَهَاءِ وَسَفْكُ الدِّمَاءِ وَبَيْعُ الْحُكْمِ وَقَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ وَنَشْوٌ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْقُرْآنَ مَزَامِيرَ وَكَثْرَةُ الشُّرَطِ

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Indeed, my Lord has blessed me with two qualities: that half of my Ummah will enter Paradise and the intercession will be granted to me."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ رَبِّي تَعَالَى خَيَّرَنِي خَصْلَتَيْنِ أَنْ يَرْتَحِلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ

[Machine] We traveled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we stopped. When the night came, my eyes couldn't sleep, so I got up. There was not a single creature in the camp that did not place its cheek on the ground. The highest thing in my mind was the back of the camel's saddle. I said to myself, "I will not go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until morning." So I went to the outskirts of the camp until I reached the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ camel. But he was not on his camel. So I went to the outskirts of the camp until I left the army. Suddenly, I found myself in darkness, so I performed Tayammum (dry ablution) with the dark sand. Then, I found Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah and Mu'adh ibn Jabal. They asked me, "What brought you out?" I said, "What brought you two out?" Then, we found ourselves close to Ghaytah. We heard a buzzing sound, like the buzzing of bees or the rustling of the wind. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Is this Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah?" We said, "Yes." He asked, "And Mu'adh ibn Jabal?" We said, "Yes." He further asked, "And Awf ibn Malik?" We said, "Yes." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us. We stood up and didn't ask him anything, nor did he ask us anything. He returned to his camel and said, "Shall I not inform you of what my Lord has favored me with in advance?'" We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "My Lord has favored me with the choice between having one-third of my Ummah enter Paradise without any reckoning or punishment, and between intercession." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, what have you chosen?" He said, "I have chosen intercession." We all said, "O Messenger of Allah, make us among the people of your intercession." He said to us, "My intercession is for every Muslim."

سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَفَرًا فَنَزَلْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ أَرِقَتْ عَيْنَاي فَلَمْ يَأْتِنِي النَّوْمُ فَقُمْتُ فَإِذَا لَيْسَ فِي الْعَسْكَرِ دَابَّةٌ إِلَّا وَاضِعٌ خَدِّهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّ أَرْفَعَ شَيْءٍ فِي نَفْسِي لِمَوْضِعُ مُؤْخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ فَقُلْتُ لَآتِيَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا كَلَّ مَا اللَّيْلَةُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ فَخَرَجْتُ أَتَخَلَّلُ الرِّحَالَ حَتَّى دَفَعْتُ إِلَى رَحَلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا هُوَ لَيْسَ فِي رَحْلِهِ فَخَرَجْتُ أَتَخَلَّلُ الرِّحَالَ حَتَّى خَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْعَسْكَرِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِسَوَادٍ فَتَيَمَّمْتُ ذَلِكَ السَّوَادَ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فَقَالَا لِي مَا الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ؟ قُلْتُ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمَا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِغَيْطَةٍ مِنَّا غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَمَشَيْنَا إِلَى الْغَيْطَةِ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ نَسْمَعُ فِيهَا كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ أَوْ كَحَفِيفِ الرِّيَاحِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَهَهُنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ؟» قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ «وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ؟» قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ «وَعَوْفُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ؟» قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُمْنَا لَا نَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَلَا يَسْأَلُنَا عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَحْلِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا خَيَّرَنِي رَبِّي آنِفًا؟» قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «خَيَّرَنِي بَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ ثُلُثُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الَّذِي اخْتَرْتَ؟ قَالَ «اخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» قُلْنَا جَمِيعًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ فَقَالَ لَنَا «إِنَّ شَفَاعَتِي لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ»
