Talbiyah of the Prophet ﷺ

bukhari:1549ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

The Talbiya of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was :

labbayka Allāhumma labbayka, labbayka lā sharīka laka labbayka, inna al-ḥamda wa-al-niʿmata laka wa-al-mulk, lā sharīka laka

(I respond to Your call O Allah, I respond to Your call, and I am obedient to Your orders, You have no partner, I respond to Your call. All the praises and blessings are for You, all the sovereignty is for You, and You have no partners with you.)  

البخاري:١٥٤٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ

أَنَّ تَلْبِيَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ:

«لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ، إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ وَالنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَالْمُلْكَ، لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ۔»  


No deed is better than fasting the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah

bukhari:969Muḥammad b. ʿArʿarah > Shuʿbah > Sulaymān > Muslim al-Baṭīn > Saʿīd b. Jubayr > Ibn ʿAbbās

The Prophet ﷺ said, "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah)." Then some companions of the Prophet ﷺ said, "Not even Jihad?" He replied, "Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allah's sake) and does not return with any of those things."  

البخاري:٩٦٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَا الْعَمَلُ فِي أَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي هَذِهِ۔» [يعني: أَيامَ العشرِ] قَالُوا: وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ؟ قَالَ: «وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ يُخَاطِرُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ بِشَىْءٍ۔»  


bukhari:4406Muḥammad b. al-Muthanná > ʿAbd al-Wahhāb > Ayyūb > Muḥammad > Ibn Abū Bakrah > Abū Bakrah

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Time has taken its original shape which it had when Allah created the Heavens and the Earth. The year is of twelve months, four of which are sacred, and out of these (four) three are in succession, i.e. Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Al-Muharram, and the fourth is Rajab which is named after the Mudar tribe, between (the month of) Jumaida (ath-thania) and Sha'ban." Then the Prophet ﷺ asked, "Which is this month?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." On that the Prophet ﷺ kept quiet so long that we thought that he might name it with another name. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." Then he said, "Which town is this?" "We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." On that he kept quiet so long that we thought that he might name it with another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the town of Mecca?" We replied, "Yes, " Then he said, "Which day is today?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He kept quiet so long that we thought that he might name it with another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the day of An- Nahr (i.e. sacrifice)?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "So your blood, your properties, (The sub-narrator Muhammad said, 'I think the Prophet ﷺ also said: And your honor..) are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this city of yours, in this month of yours; and surely, you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not become infidels after me, cutting the throats of one another. It is incumbent on those who are present to convey this message (of mine) to those who are absent. May be that some of those to whom it will be conveyed will understand it better than those who have actually heard it." (The sub-narrator, Muhammad, on remembering that narration, used to say, "Muhammad spoke the truth!") He (i.e. Prophet) then added twice, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed (Allah's Message) to you?"  

البخاري:٤٤٠٦حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ

God raises one's station for every good deed done for His sake; It is better to leave your heirs well-off than to leave them poor

bukhari:1295ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > Ibn Shihāb > ʿĀmir b. Saʿd b. Abū Waqqāṣ from his father

That his father said, "In the year of the last Hajj of the Prophet ﷺ I became seriously ill and the Prophet ﷺ used to visit me inquiring about my health. I told him, 'I am reduced to this state because of illness and I am wealthy and have no inheritors except a daughter. Should I give two-thirds of my property in charity?' He said, 'No.' I asked, 'Half?' He said, 'No.' then he added, 'One-third, and even one-third is much. You'd better leave your inheritors wealthy rather than leaving them poor, begging others. You will get a reward for whatever you spend for Allah's sake, even for what you put in your wife's mouth.'

I said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Will I be left alone after my companions have gone?' He said, 'If you are left behind, whatever good deeds you will do will upgrade you and raise you high. And perhaps you will have a long life so that some people will be benefited by you while others will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the emigration of my companions and do not cause them to turn on their heels.' Saʿd b. Khaulah ˹another companion˺ was unfortunate and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lamented his death as he died in Makkah." ˹but Saʿd b. Abū Waqqas lived long after the Prophet ﷺ.˺  

البخاري:١٢٩٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي عَامَ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ مِنْ وَجَعٍ اشْتَدَّ بِي فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي قَدْ بَلَغَ بِي مِنَ الْوَجَعِ وَأَنَا ذُو مَالٍ وَلاَ يَرِثُنِي إِلاَّ ابْنَةٌ، أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِثُلُثَىْ مَالِي؟ قَالَ: «لاَ۔» فَقُلْتُ: بِالشَّطْرِ؟ فَقَالَ: «لاَ۔» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «الثُّلُثُ، وَالثُّلْثُ كَبِيرٌ۔» أَوْ «كَثِيرٌ۔ إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَذَرَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذَرَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ، وَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ أُجِرْتَ بِهَا حَتَّى مَا تَجْعَلُ فِي فِي امْرَأَتِكَ۔»

فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أُخَلَّفُ بَعْدَ أَصْحَابِي؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ، فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلاً صَالِحًا إِلاَّ ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ دَرَجَةً وَرِفْعَةً ثُمَّ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ حَتَّى يَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ أَقْوَامٌ وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أَمْضِ لأَصْحَابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ وَلاَ تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ۔» لَكِنِ الْبَائِسُ سَعْدُ ابْنُ خَوْلَةَ يَرْثِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ  


The Prophet ﷺ answers a woman that she and her a child both are rewarded for Ḥajj

muslim:1336aAbū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah And Zuhayr b. Ḥarb And Ibn Abū ʿUmar > Ibn ʿUyaynah > Abū Bakr > Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah > Ibrāhīm b. ʿUqbah > Kurayb a freed slave of Ibn ʿAbbās > Ibn ʿAbbās

Who art thou? He said: (I am) Messengef of Allah. A woman (then) lifted up a boy to him and said: Would this child be credited with having performed the Hajj? Thereupon he said: Yes, and you will have a reward.  

مسلم:١٣٣٦aحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَقِيَ رَكْبًا بِالرَّوْحَاءِ فَقَالَ: «مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟» قَالُوا: الْمُسْلِمُونَ، فَقَالُوا مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: «رَسُولُ اللَّهِ!» فَرَفَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ صَبِيًّا فَقَالَتْ: أَلِهَذَا حَجٌّ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، وَلَكِ أَجْرٌ۔»  


Even a child is rewarded for Ḥajj

muslim:1336bAbū Kurayb Muḥammad b. al-ʿAlāʾ > Abū Usāmah > Sufyān > Muḥammad b. ʿUqbah > Kurayb > Ibn ʿAbbās

A woman lifted up her child and said: Messenger of Allah, would the child be credited with having performed the Hajj? Thereupon he said: Yes, and there would be a reward for you.  

مسلم:١٣٣٦bحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

رَفَعَتِ امْرَأَةٌ صَبِيًّا لَهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلِهَذَا حَجٌّ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَكِ أَجْرٌ

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً رَفَعَتْ صَبِيًّا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلِهَذَا حَجٌّ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَكِ أَجْرٌ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "There will be a disturbance in the month of Ramadan that will awaken the sleeper and frighten the awake. Then a faction will appear in Shawwal, followed by commotion in Dhul-Hijjah. Then the sacred limits will be violated in Muharram, and death will occur in Safar. The tribes will then dispute in Rabee' al-Awwal. Astonishment, the greatest astonishment, will occur between Jumada I and Rajab. Then a she-camel that is used for carrying water will be better than a treasure of a hundred thousand."  

The two sheikhs, Muslim and Bukhari, have cited narrators of this hadith, the last of whom is Ghayr al-Muslimah bin 'Ulayy al-Khushani. This hadith is a strange narration with an unknown source, and it has also been narrated by someone who is not considered as reliable in their narrations.

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are no days more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the ten of Dhū al-Ḥijjah." A man asked: O Messenger of Allah, are they more virtuous or the count of days fighting in the cause of Allah? He said, "They are more virtuous than the count of days fighting in cause of Allah,"

"... and there is no day more virtuous in the sight of Allah than the Day of ʿArafah: for He descends to the worldly sky and boasts about the people of earth to those in the sky and He says: 'Look at My servants appearing disheveled and dusty. They have come from every far corner ˹of earth˺ seeking my Mercy and they do not see my punishment.' You will not see more ˹people˺ having salvation from the Hellfire than the Day of ʿArafah.'"

"أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَدِمَ "مِنْ" أَرْضِ اليَمَنِ فَقَالَ لِعُمَرَ: رَأَيْتُ باليَمَنِ شَيْئًا يُسَمُّونَهُ التَّارِيخَ، يَكْتُبُونَ مِنْ عَامِ كَذَا، وَشَهْرِ كَذَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّ هَذَا لَحَسَنٌ فَأرِّخُوا، فَلَمَّا أجْمَعَ "عَلَى" أَنْ يُؤَرِّخَ شَاوَرَهُمْ، فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ: بِمَوْلِدِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ ، وَقَالَ قَوْمٌ: بِالمَبْعَثِ، وَقَالَ قَوْمٌ: حِينَ خَرَجَ مُهَاجِرًا مِنْ مَكَّةَ، وَقَالَ قَائِلٌ لوفاته حِينَ تُوفِّى، فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ: أَرِّخُوا خُرُوجَهُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: بِأىِّ شَىْءٍ نَبْدَأُ فَنُصَيِّرُهُ أَوَّلَ السَّنَةِ؟ فَقَالُوا: رَجَبٌ فَإنَّ أَهلَ الجَاهِلِيَّة كَانُوا يعظمونه، وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: ذُو الحِجَّةِ، وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: الشَّهْرُ الَّذِى خَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ، وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ: الشَّهْرُ الَّذِى قَدِمَ فِيهِ، فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: أرِّخوا مِنَ المُحَرَّم أَوَّلَ السَّنَةِ، وَهُوَ شَهرٌ حَرَامٌ، وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ الشُّهُورِ في العِدَّةِ، وَهُوَ مُنْصَرَفُ النَّاسِ مِنَ الحَجِّ، فَصَيِّرُوا أَوَّلَ السَّنَةِ المُحَرَّمَ، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ سَنَةَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ، وَيُقَالُ: سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ في رَبِيعٍ الأَوَّلِ".
