٦۔٥۔١١ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ
This religion will continue to exist, and a group of people from the Muslims will continue to fight for its protection until the Hour is established. (Using translation from Muslim 1922)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَبْرَحُ هَذَا الدِّينُ قَائِمًا يُقَاتِلُ عَلَيْهِ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say, "The city was named Tabah."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سُمِّيَ الْمَدِينَةُ طَابَةَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the noon and at night when darkness falls, and when the sun and its brightness disappear, and similar to that. And he used to recite in the morning for a longer period than that.
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَنَحْوِهَا وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الصُّبْحِ بِأَطْوَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»
When the sun declined, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the noon prayer and recited surahs lie "By the night when it covers over" (92) and (recited similar surahs) in the afternoon prayer, and in the other prayers except the dawn prayer which he used to prolong. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 806)
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَحَضَتِ الشَّمْسُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَقَرَأَ بِنَحْوٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالْعَصْرِ كَذَلِكَ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ كَذَلِكَ إِلَّا الصُّبْحَ فَإِنَّهُ يُطِيلُهَا»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray Dhuhr when the sun declined, meaning when it sets, and he used to pray Asr towards the end of your prayer time.
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَدْحَضُ الشَّمْسُ يَعْنِي حِينَ تَزُولُ وَيُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ نَحْوًا مِنْ صَلَاتِكُمْ»
[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "There will be twelve leaders." Then he said a word that I did not understand, so the people said, "He said, 'All of them are from Quraysh.'"
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَكُونُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»
[Machine] He heard Jabir bin Samurah say that a man with long curly hair and strong muscles admitted to committing adultery. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ordered that he be stoned to death, and he said, "Whenever we go out for Jihad in the cause of Allah, if one of you lags behind, he will be struck with a reed from the she-camel. As for me, I will not punish any of you in this manner unless I make him a precedent. Perhaps someone said, 'Fish!,' but I will surely punish him."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرَجُلٍ أَشْعَرَ قَصِيرٍ ذِي عَضَلَاتٍ أَقَرَّ بِالزِّنَا فَرَدَّهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَرُجِمَ وَقَالَ أَكُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا غَازِينَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ يَتَخَلَّفُ أَحَدُكُمْ يَنِبُّ نَبِيبَ التَّيْسِ يَمْنَحُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ الْكُثْبَةَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَنْ أُوتِيَ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ فَعَلَ هَذَا إِلَّا جَعَلْتُهُ نَكَالًا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سِمَاكٌ إِلَّا نَكَّلْتُهُ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Verily, before the Hour, there will be liars."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ كَذَّابِينَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , prayed over Ibn Dahdah while we were present. Then he brought a horse, tamed it, and jumped on it. While we were surrounding him, he started taming it. A man who was with Jabir ibn Samurah said: "Indeed, the Prophet, ﷺ , said, 'How many delicious dates for Ibn Dahdah are suspended in Jannah.'"
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى ابْنِ الدَّحْدَاحِ وَنَحْنُ شُهُودٌ ثُمَّ أَتَى بِفَرَسٍ فَعَقَلَ حَتَّى رَكِبَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَتَوَقَّصُ بِهِ وَنَحْنُ نَسْعَى حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «كَمْ مِنْ عِذْقٍ لِابْنِ الدَّحْدَاحِ مُعَلَّقٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the funeral of Ibn Duhdah, and he was riding a horse and moving it gently.
«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي جَنَازَةِ ابْنِ الدَّحْدَاحِ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ وَهُوَ يَتَهَوَّدُ بِهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "How many gardens does Ibn Addahah have in Paradise."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَمْ مِنْ عِذْقٍ لِابْنِ الدَّحْدَاحِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ heard saying, "You will conquer the treasures of the white palace of Kisra, or he said, the one in the white palace, a group of Muslims."
سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَتَفْتَحَنَّ كَنْزَ آلِ كِسْرَى الْأَبْيَضِ أَوْ قَالَ الَّذِي فِي الْأَبْيَضِ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had thick eyelashes. Shu'bah said, "I asked Simak, 'What does "ashkal al-'aynayn" mean?' He replied, 'It means thick eyelashes.'"
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَشْكَلَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ قُلْتُ لِسِمَاكٍ مَا أَشْكَلُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ؟ قَالَ «بَاذَامٌ جُشْمٌ»
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a wide mouth (Dali' Al-Fam), his eyes were Ashkal, and he had thin heals (Manhus Al-'Aqib)." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3646)
عَنْ صِفَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كَانَ أَشْكَلَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ ضَلِيعَ الْفَمِ مَنْهُوسَ الْعَقِبِ»
The Apostle of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the noon prayer:" Glorify the name of thy Most High Lord in the morning prayer longer than this" (lxxxvii.) (Using translation from Muslim 460)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ بِ سَبِّحِ اسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَفِي الصُّبْحِ بِأَطْوَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Seek Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Decree) in the last ten nights of Ramadan.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «اطْلُبُوا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ»
I recognise the stone in Mecca which used to pay me salutations before my advent as a Prophet and I recognise that even now. (Using translation from Muslim 2277)
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ حَجَرًا كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُبْعَثَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُهُ»
[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and between his shoulders was a seal of prophethood like the size of a dove's egg.
«رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ مِثْلُ بَيْضَةِ الْحَمَامَةِ خاتَمُ النُّبُوَّةِ»
[Machine] The boys were passing by the Prophet ﷺ, and some of them would touch his cheek, while others would touch both of his cheeks. So, when I passed by him, he touched my cheek and said, "The cheek that the Prophet ﷺ touched was more beautiful than the other cheek."
كَانَ الصِّبْيَانُ يَمُرُّونَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْسَحْ خَدَّهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْسَحْ خَدَّيْهِ فَمَرَرْتُ بِهِ فَمَسَحَ خَدِّي قَالَ فَكَانَ الْخَدُّ الَّذِي مَسَحَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ مِنَ الْخَدِّ الْآخَرِ

٦۔٥۔١٢ شُعْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ
[Machine] The companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to recite poetry to each other, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would listen.
«كَانَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَتَنَاشَدُونَ الشِّعْرَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَسْمَعُ»
"I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivering the khutbah on Friday standing, then he sat briefly and did not speak, then he stood up and delivered a second khutbah. So whoever tells you that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver the khutbah seated, he has lied." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1417)
سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ «رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ فَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ خِطْبَةً أُخْرَى فَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَطَبَ قَاعِدًا فَقَدْ كَذَبَ»
[Machine] The caller of prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would give the call to prayer and then wait. He would not establish the prayer until he saw the Prophet ﷺ had come out, then he would establish the prayer when he saw him.
«كَانَ مُؤَذِّنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يُؤَذِّنُ ثُمَّ يُمْهِلُ فَلَا يُقِيمُ حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَدْ خَرَجَ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ حِينَ يَرَاهُ»
"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed fajr, he would sit in the place where he had prayed until the sun rose." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1357)
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى لِغَدَاةٍ قَعَدَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ»
[Machine] He heard Jabir ibn Samurah saying, "The Messenger of Allah used to pray the prayers similar to your prayers today, but he would lighten them. His prayer was lighter than your prayers. He would recite Surah Al-Waqi'ah and similar chapters in Fajr prayer."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ كَنَحْوٍ مِنْ صَلَاتِكُمُ الَّتِي تُصَلُّونَ الْيَوْمَ وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يُخَفِّفُ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ أَخَفَّ مِنْ صَلَاتِكُمْ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ الْوَاقِعَةَ وَنَحْوَهَا مِنَ السُّوَرِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A group among the Muslims will conquer the treasures of Kisra."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَيَفْتَحَنَّ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كُنُوزَ كِسْرَى»
[Machine] The messenger of Allah, ﷺ , had abundant hair and beard.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَثَّ الشَّعْرِ وَاللِّحْيَةِ»
[Machine] I heard Jabir ibn Samurah saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was brought a short man wearing an izar (a lower garment) without a cloak. He spoke to him, but I do not know what he said as I was far from him and there were people between him and me." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Take him away." Then he said, "Bring him back." He spoke to him again and I could hear it, but there were people between him and me. Then he said, "Take him away and stone him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and delivered a sermon, and I could hear it. He said, "Whenever we march in the cause of Allah, one of them leaves behind a nanny goat that gives a cup of milk. By Allah, I will not go ahead of anyone of them, but I will punish him."
سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَاعِزِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَجُلٍ قَصِيرٍ فِي إِزَارٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ رِدَاءٌ فَكَلَّمَهُ وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا يُكَلِّمُهُ وَأَنَا بَعِيدٌ مِنْهُ وَبَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بِهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «رُدُّوهُ» فَكَلَّمَهُ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ الْقَوْمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَارْجُمُوهُ» ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَطَبَ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُهُ فَقَالَ «كُلَّمَا نَفَرْنَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَلَّفَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَهُ نَبِيبٌ كَنَبِيبِ التَّيْسِ يَمْنَحُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ الْكُثْبَةَ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَاللهِ لَا أَقْدَمُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا نَكَّلْتُ بِهِ»
[Machine] "I saw the ring on his shoulder, resembling the skin of a dove's egg."
«رَأَيْتُ الْخَاتَمَ عِنْدَ كَتِفِهِ مِثْلَ بَيْضَةِ الْحَمَامَةِ يُشْبِهُ جِلْدَهُ»
[Machine] Jabir reported: "They entered upon the Prophet ﷺ while he was reclining on a cushion to his left."
عَنْ جَابِرٍ «أَنَّهُمْ دَخَلُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ»
[Machine] He heard Jabir ibn Samurah saying, "A man died during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . A man came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, so-and-so has died.' He said, 'He has not died.' Then he came again, and then a third time. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'How did he die?' He said, 'He killed himself with a dagger he had, so I did not offer the funeral prayer for him.'"
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ مَاتَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ مَاتَ فُلَانٌ قَالَ «لَمْ يَمُتْ» ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَيْفَ مَاتَ؟» قَالَ نَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ بِمِشْقَصٍ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] There was no gray hair in the Prophet's ﷺ head or beard, except for a few strands in the parting of his head. It became apparent when he would oil his beard, and it would not be noticeable when he left it.
«مَا كَانَ فِي رَأْسِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلِحْيَتِهِ مِنَ الشَّيْبِ إِلَّا شَعَرَاتٍ فِي مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ إِذَا سَرَّحَ لِحْيَتَهُ ودَهَنَ تَبَيَّنَ وَإِذَا تَرَكَهَا لَمْ يَتَبَيَّنْ»
This religion will continue to exist, and a group of people from the Muslims will continue to fight for its protection until the Hour is established. (Using translation from Muslim 1922)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَبْرَحُ هَذَا الدِّينُ قَائِمًا يُقَاتِلُ عَلَيْهِ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ»
'There will be twelve Amir after me."' He said: "Then he said something that I did not understand. So I asked the one who was next to me, who said that he ﷺ had said: 'All of them are from Quraish."' (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2223)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَكُونُ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا» ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ الْقَوْمَ فَقَالُوا «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»
[Machine] "A camel died in the barren desert, and beside it were needy people. So the Prophet ﷺ divided it among them for food."
«مَاتَ جَمَلٌ بِالْحَرَّةِ وَإِلَى جَنْبِهِ قَوْمٌ مُحْتَاجُونَ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي أَكْلِهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Fajr prayer and then began shaking something in front of him. When he finished, we asked him, and he said, "That was a devil who threw sparks of fire on my feet to distract me from prayer. If I had caught him, I would have tied him to one of the pillars of the mosque until the children of Madinah saw him."
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ فَجَعَلَ يَنْتَهِرُ شَيْئًا قُدَّامَهُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ سَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «ذَاكَ شَيْطَانٌ أَلْقَى عَلَى قَدَمِي شَرَرًا مِنَ النَّارِ لِيَفْتِنَنِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ وَلَوْ أَخَذْتُهُ لَنِيطَ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَطِيفَ بِهِ وِلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ»

٦۔٥۔١٣ إِسْرَائِيلُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ
"A man asked Al-Bara: 'Was the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ like a sword?' He said: 'No, like the moon.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3636)
قِيلَ لِجَابِرٍ أَكَانَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِثْلَ السَّيْفِ؟ قَالَ «لَا بَلْ مِثْلَ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ»
"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed fajr, he would sit in the place where he had prayed until the sun rose." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1357)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ يَقْعُدُ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ»
[Machine] Jabir ibn Samurah said, "The prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his sermon were concise."
جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ «كَانَتْ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَخُطْبَتُهُ قَصْدًا»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite Surah Qaf and the Majestic Quran in the Fajr prayer, and his prayer was gentle.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ بِ ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ وَكَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ بَعْدَ تَخْفِيفٍ»
[Machine] I have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ give a sermon while sitting on the pulpit on Fridays. So whoever told you that he sat, then they have lied. He used to give a sermon standing, then sit, then stand again to give another sermon, and he would sit in between the two sermons.
مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ قَطُّ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا قَائِمًا فَمَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّهُ جَلَسَ فَكَذِّبْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ قَالَ جَابِرٌ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَخْطُبُ ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ وَكَانَ يَخْطُبُ خُطْبَتَيْنِ يَقْعُدُ بَيْنَهُمَا»

٦۔٥۔١٤ زَائِدَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ
This religion will continue to exist, and a group of people from the Muslims will continue to fight for its protection until the Hour is established. (Using translation from Muslim 1922)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَنْ يَبْرَحَ هَذَا الدِّينُ قَائِمًا يُقَاتِلُ عَلَيْهِ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ»
A man fell ill and a cry was raised (for his death). So his neighbour came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him: He has died. He asked: Who told you? He said: I have seen him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised (for his death). He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: He has died. The Prophet ﷺ said: He has not died. He then returned. A cry was again raised over him. His wife said: Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and inform him. The man said: O Allah, curse him. He said: The man then went and saw that he had killed himself with an arrowhead. So he went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him that he had died. He asked: Who told you? He replied: I myself saw that he had killed himself with arrowheads. He asked: Have you seen him? He replied: Yes. He then said: Then I shall not pray over him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3185)
مَرِضَ رَجُلٌ فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فَجَاءَ جَارُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ فَقَالَ «مَا يُدْرِيكَ؟» قَالَ أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ» فَرَجَعَ الرَّجُلُ فَصِيحَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبِرْهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ اللهُمَّ الْعَنْهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ الرَّجُلُ فَرَاهُ قَدْ نَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ بِمَشَاقِصٍ مَعَهُ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ «مَا يُدْرِيكَ؟» قَالَ رَأَيْتُهُ نَحَرَ نَفْسَهُ بِمَشَاقِصٍ مَعَهُ قَالَ «أَنْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «إِذًا لَا أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ»
I said to Jabir b. Samura: Did you have the privilege of sitting in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: Yes, very frequently, and added: He did not stand up (and go) from the place where he offered the dawn prayer until the sun rose, and after the rising of the sun he stood up, and they (his Companions) entered into conversation with one another and they talked of the things (that they did during the Days of Ignorance), and they laughed (on their unreasonable and ridiculous acts). Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled only. (Using translation from Muslim 2322)
قُلْتُ لِجَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ أَكُنْتَ تُجَالِسُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ كَثِيرًا كَانَ «لَا يَقُومُ مِنْ مُصَلَّاهُ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي فِيهِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا طَلَعَتْ قَامَ وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ الصَّمْتَ وَكَانُوا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَيَأْخُذُونَ فِي أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَيَضْحَكُونَ ويَبْتَسِمُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver the sermon standing, then he would sit down, then stand and preach standing. If anyone tells you he preached sitting, he is lying. I swear by Allah that I offered along with more than two thousand prayers. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1093)
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَخْطُبُ قَائِمًا فَمَنْ نَبَّأَكَ أَنَّهُ يَخْطُبُ جَالِسًا أَوْ قَاعِدًا فَقَدْ كَذَبَ فَقَدْ وَاللهِ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَلْفَيْ مَرَّةً»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Verily, there will be liars before the Hour." I said to Jabir, "Did you hear him say this?" He replied, "Yes, I heard him."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ كَذَّابِينَ» قُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ قَالَ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ
'There will be twelve Amir after me."' He said: "Then he said something that I did not understand. So I asked the one who was next to me, who said that he ﷺ had said: 'All of them are from Quraish."' (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2223)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَكُونُ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا» ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ الْقَوْمَ كُلَّهُمْ فَقَالُوا قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»
[Machine] Regarding the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "He used to perform them softly and did not pray like these people."
عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «كَانَ يَخِفُّ بِهِمْ وَلَا يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ هَؤُلَاءِ»
[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite in the Fajr prayer the Quranic chapters Qaf and the Noble Quran and something similar to it."
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ بِ ق وَالْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ وَنَحْوِهَا»
[Machine] I heard Jabir ibn Samurah saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the Fajr prayer and he began to brush something in front of him. When he finished, we asked him, and he said, "That was a devil who threw a spark of fire on my foot to distract me from prayer." He said, "I brushed him away and if I had taken him, I would have tied him to one of the pillars of the mosque until the children of Madinah played with him."
سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فَجَعَلَ يَنْتَهِرُ شَيْئًا قُدَّامَهُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ سَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «ذَاكَ شَيْطَانٌ ألْقَى عَلَى قَدَمِي شَرَرًا مِنْ نَارٍ لِيَفْتِنَنِي عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ» قَالَ «وَقَدِ انْتَهَرْتُهُ وَلَوْ أَخَذْتُهُ لَنِيطَ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَطِيفَ بِهِ وِلْدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ»

٦۔٥۔١٥ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ
[Machine] The pitcher was presented to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the house of Abu Ayyub. He would receive it and it would be filled with whatever food he ate. One time, a pitcher came to him, and he sent it back as it was, without taking anything from it. Abu Ayyub said to his family, "Do not eat until I find out why he returned it." So he sought permission and entered (the presence of the Messenger of Allah) and said, "Nothing that comes from you ever reaches us unless you have eaten from it, except for this pitcher. I do not know what is wrong with it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It had garlic in it, and I dislike its smell. There is no harm in it, but I dislike its smell." Abu Ayyub said, "If you dislike it, then I dislike it too." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then you are pardoned."
كَانَ يُهْدَى لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْقِصَاعُ وَهُوَ فِي دَارِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ فَكَانَ يَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ فَضْلَ مَا يَأْكُلُ فَأَتَتْهُ قَصْعَةٌ فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا كَمَا هِيَ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ لِأَهْلِهِ لَا تَأْكُلُوا حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ لِمَ تَرَكَهَا؟ قَالَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَخَلَ فَقَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَأْتِينَا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا أَكَلْتَ مِنْهُ غَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْقَصْعَةِ لَا أَدْرِي مَا شَأْنُهَا؟ قَالَ «كَانَ فِيهَا ثُومٌ فَكَرِهْتُ رِيحَهُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِلَّا أَنِّي كَرِهْتُ رِيحَهُ» قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ مَا تَكْرَهُ إِذًا قَالَ «فَأَنْتَ أَبْصَرُ»
