[Machine] While we were riding with the Prophet ﷺ, his camel went ahead and then my camel caught up with his until I thought that his camel knew the way and was following mine, to the point that our knees touched. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I want to ask you something repeatedly, but the verse {O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you} prevents me from doing so." He said, "What is it, Mu'adh?" I said, "The deed that will admit me into Paradise and keep me away from the Fire." He said, "You have asked about something great, yet it is easy for him for whom Allah makes it easy. Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish prayer, give charity, perform Hajj to the House of Allah, and fast during Ramadan." Then he said, "Shall I not inform you of the foundation of all of this?" I said, "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah." He took hold of his tongue and said, "Restrain this." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we be held accountable for what we say?" He said, "May your mother be bereaved of you, O Mu'adh! Are people thrown into the Hellfire on their faces or on their noses for anything other than the harvest of their tongues?" He continued, "You have asked about something that is within the reach of many people. However, only a few of them do it. Many will invoke Allah, but few will respond to Him. Will I not inform you of that which encompasses all of that?" I said, "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah." He took hold of his tongue and said, "Restrain this." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we be held accountable for what we say?" He said, "May your mother be bereaved of you, O Mu'adh! Are people thrown into the Hellfire on their faces or on their noses for anything other than the harvest of their tongues?" He continued, "You have asked about something that is within the reach of many people. However, only a few of them do it. Many will invoke Allah, but few will respond to Him. Will I not inform you of that which encompasses all of that?" I said, "Certainly, O Messenger of Allah." He took hold of his tongue and said, "Restrain this." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we be held accountable for what we say?" He said, "May your mother be bereaved of you, O Mu'adh! Are people thrown into the Hellfire on their faces or on their noses for anything other than the harvest of their tongues?"

بَيْنَا نَحْنُ رَكْبٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ تَقَدَّمَتْ رَاحِلَتُهُ ثُمَّ رَاحِلَتِي لَحِقَتْ رَاحِلَتَهُ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ رَاحِلَتَهُ قَدْ عَرَفَتْ وَطْءَ رَاحِلَتِي حَتَّى نَطَحَتْ رُكْبَتِي رُكْبَتَهُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مِرَارًا وَيَمْنَعُنِي مَكَانُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} قَالَ «مَا هُوَ يَا مُعَاذُ؟» قُلْتُ الْعَمَلُ الَّذِي يُدْخِلُ الْجَنَّةَ وَيَتَجَنَّبُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ قَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَظِيمًا وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَحَجُّ الْبَيْتِ وَصَوْمُ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِرَأْسِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذِرْوَتِهِ الْجِهَادِ ثُمَّ قَالَ الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُكَفِّرُ الْخَطَايَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكَ بِمَا هُوَ أَمْلَكُ بِالنَّاسِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ؟» فَأَخَذَ لِسَانَهُ فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكُلُّ مَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ يُكْتَبُ عَلَيْنَا؟ قَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ فِي النَّارِ إِلَّا حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ؟ إِنَّكَ لَمْ تَزَلْ سَالِمًا مَا سَكَتَّ فَإِذَا تَكَلَّمَتَ كُتِبَ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ»

[Machine] He said: O Messenger of Allah, inform me of an action that will enter its doer into Paradise. He replied: "How excellent, how excellent! Indeed, you have asked about something great, yet it is easy for the one who Allah makes it easy for. Worship Allah alone, without associating partners with Him, establish the obligatory prayers, give the obligatory charity, fast in Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House. And shall I not inform you of the pillar of all this? Its top, its cornerstone, and its peak?" He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ then said: "The pillar of all this is testifying that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, the top of it is Jihad in the cause of Allah, and the peak of it is the prayer at its proper time." Then he said: "Shall I not inform you of the doors of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sins as water extinguishes fire, and the standing of a person in prayer during the night." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse: {Their sides draw away from their beds to invoke their Lord in fear and hope. And they spend (in Allah's Cause) out of what We have bestowed on them} [Quran 32:16]. Then he said: "Shall I not tell you of the controlling factor of all that?" He shook his own tongue and said: "Restrain this." Mu'adh said: "O Messenger of Allah, will we really be held accountable for what we say with our tongues?" He ﷺ said: "May your mother lose you, O Mu'adh! People will be thrown into the Hellfire only on their faces - or he said, on their noses - because of the harvests of their tongues."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبَرَنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُ صَاحِبَهُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ بَخٍ بَخٍ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ كَبِيرٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ تَعْبُدُ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ وَسَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِرَأْسِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذُرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ رَأْسُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَعَمُودُهُ وَذُرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ الْجِهَادُ وَسَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِأَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ كَمَا يُطْفِئُ الْمَاءُ النَّارَ وَقِيَامُ الْعَبْدِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَقَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ} الْآيَةَ وَسَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِأَمْلَكِ مِنْ ذَاكَ كُلَّهِ وَهَزَّ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَدَنَوْتُ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الَّذِي أَمْلَكُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهِ؟ فَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ قُلْتُ اللِّسَانُ؟ كَالْمُتَهَاونِ بِهِ فَقَالَ «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ إِلَّا حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ؟»

"I accompanied the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. One day I was near him while we were moving so I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Inform me about an action by which I will be admitted into Paradise, and which will keep me far from the Fire.' He said: 'You have asked me about something great, but it is easy for whomever Allah makes it easy: Worship Allah and do not associate any partners with Him, establish the Salat, give the Zakat, fast Ramadan and perform Hajj to the HOuse.' Then he said: 'Shall I not guide you to the doors of good? Fasting is a shield, and charity extinguishes sins like water extinguishes fire - and a man's praying in depths of the night.'" He said: "Then he recited: 'Their sides forsake their beds to call upon their Lord.' Until he reached: 'What they used to do.' [32:16-17] Then he said: 'Shall I not inform you about the head of the entire matter, and its pillar, and its hump?' I said: 'Of course O Messenger of Allah! He said: 'The head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is the Salat, and its hump is Jihad.' Then he said: 'Shall I not inform you about what governs all of that?' I said: 'Of course O Messenger of Allah!'" He ﷺ said: "So he grabbed his tongue. He said 'Restrain this.' I said: 'O Prophet of Allah! Will we be taken to account for what we say?' He said: 'May your mother grieve your loss O Mu'adh! Are the people tossed into the Fire upon their faces, or upon their noses, except because of what their tongues have wrought'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2616)

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَصْبَحْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ وَنَحْنُ نَسِيرُ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَيُبْعِدُنِي عَنِ النَّارِ قَالَ «لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ عَظِيمٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ تُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ؟ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ كَمَا يُطْفِئُ الْمَاءُ النَّارَ وَصَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ» ثُمَّ تَلَا {تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ} [السجدة 16] حَتَّى {يَعْمَلُونَ} [السجدة 17] ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِرَأْسِ الْأَمْرِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «رَأْسُ الْأَمْرِ الْإِسْلَامُ وَعَمُودُهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَذِرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ الْجِهَادُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمِلَاكِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَخَذَ بِلِسَانِهِ فَقَالَ «كُفَّ عَلَيْكَ هَذَا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنَّا لَمُؤَاخَذُونَ بِمَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا مُعَاذُ وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ إِلَّا حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ؟

He who observed the fast of Ramadan and then followed it with six (fasts) of Shawwal. it would be as if he fasted perpetually.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ كَانَ كَصِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ

We, during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, in one month of Ramadan (observed fast according to our liking). He who wished to fast lasted and he who wished to break broke it and fed a needy person as an expiation 1544 till this verse was revealed:" He who witnesses among you the month (of Ramadan) he should observe fast during it" (ii. 184).

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنَّا فِي رَمَضَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ فَافْتَدَى بِطَعَامِ مِسْكِينٍ حَتَّى أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ { فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ}

[Machine] We were in Ramadan during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Whoever wanted to fast, fasted, and whoever wanted to break the fast, broke it and made up for it by feeding a poor person until the verse was revealed: "So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185).

كُنَّا فِي رَمَضَانَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ وَافْتَدَى بِطَعَامِ مِسْكِينٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ {فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ} [البقرة 185] الْآيَةَ

Did you observe any fast in the middle of this month (Sha'ban)? He said: No. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Fast for two days instead of (one fast) when you have completed (fasts of) Ramadan.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ هَلْ صُمْتَ مِنْ سُرَرِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ شَيْئًا قَالَ لاَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَصُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ مَكَانَهُ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked a man: Did you fast the last day of Sha'ban ? He replied: No. He said: If you did not observe a fast, you must fast for a day. One of the two narrators said: For two days. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2328)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ هَلْ صُمْتَ مِنْ سُرَرِ شَعْبَانَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ رَمَضَانَ فَصُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ قَالَ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ صُمْ يَوْمًا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to a man, "Have you fasted any days of this month for voluntary reasons?" The man replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "If you have already broken your fast in Ramadan, then fast for two consecutive days."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ «هَلْ صُمْتَ مِنْ سَرَرِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ؟» فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَإِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَصُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد سَرَرُهُ آخِرُهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Have you fasted any days of this month?" I said, "No, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah!" He said, "Then if you break your fast in Ramadan, then fast for two consecutive days in its place."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «هَلْ صُمْتَ مِنْ سُرَرِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ؟» قُلْتُ لَا وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَإِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ رَمَضَانَ فَصُمْ مَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَوْمَيْنِ»

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ that he said to a man, "Did you fast from the beginning of this month, meaning Sha'ban?" The man replied, "No." The Prophet then said, "If you have completed Ramadan, then fast for a day or two."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ «هَلْ صُمْتَ مِنْ سُرَرِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ يَعْنِي شَعْبَانَ ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَإِذَا أَفْطَرْتَ رَمَضَانَ فَصُمْ يَوْمًا أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ»

One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appeared before the public so a man came to him and then said: Prophet of Allah, what is Iman? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you affirm your faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His Messengers and that you affirm your faith in the Resurrection hereafter. He said: Messenger of Allah, what is al-Islam? He replied: Al-Islam is that you worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him and you establish obligatory prayer and you pay the obligatory alms (Zakat) and you observe the fast of Ramadan. He said: Messenger of Allah, what is al-Ihsan? He replied: That you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and for if you fail to see Him. He said: Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour (of Doom)? He replied: The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer, however I will narrate some of its signs to you. When the slave-girl will give birth to her master, then that is from its signs. When the naked, barefooted would become the chiefs of the people, then that is from its signs. When the shepherds of the black (camels) would exult themselves in buildings, then that is from its signs. (The Hour is) Among one of the five which no one knows but Allah. Then he recited (the verse): "Verily Allah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the Hour and He it is Who sends down the rain and knows that which is in the wombs. And no soul knows what it shall earn tomorrow, and a soul knows not in what land it shall die. Verily Allah is Knowing, Aware." He (Abu Huraira) said: Then the person turned back and went away. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Bring that man back to me. They went to bring him back, but they saw nothing there. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: he was Gabriel, who came to teach the people their religion.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا بَارِزًا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِيمَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَكِتَابِهِ وَلِقَائِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ الآخِرِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِسْلاَمُ قَالَ الإِسْلاَمُ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤَدِّيَ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِحْسَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لاَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ قَالَ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا إِذَا وَلَدَتِ الأَمَةُ رَبَّهَا فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْعُرَاةُ الْحُفَاةُ رُءُوسَ النَّاسِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا تَطَاوَلَ رِعَاءُ الْبَهْمِ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا فِي خَمْسٍ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَلاَ ﷺ { إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَىِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ} قَالَ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رُدُّوا عَلَىَّ الرَّجُلَ فَأَخَذُوا لِيَرُدُّوهُ فَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ جَاءَ لِيُعَلِّمَ النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ

Ask me (about religious matters), but they (the Companions) were in awe of asking him. Then came a man, and sat near his knees and said: O Messenger of Allah, what is al-Islam? So he (the Holy Prophet) replied: [That] you do not associate anything with Allah, and establish the prayer, pay the alms (Zakat) and fast Ramadan. He said: You (have) told the truth. He said: Messenger of Allah, what is al-Iman (Faith)? He said: That you affirm your faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His Apostles, and that you believe in Resurrection and that you believe in Qadr (Divine Decree) in all its entirety. He (the inquirer) said: You have told the truth. He said: Messenger of Allah, what is al-Ihsan? Upon this he said: that you fear Allah as if you are seeing Him, and though you see Him not, verily He is seeing you. He (the inquirer) said: You (have) told the truth. He (the inquirer) said: When will the Hour (of Doom) occur? He said: The one who is being asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer and I will narrate some of its signs to you. When you see a [slave] woman giving birth to her master - then that is [one] of its signs. And when you see barefooted, naked, deaf and dumb (ignorant and foolish persons) as the rulers of the earth - then that is [one] of its signs. And when you see the shepherds of black (camels) exult in buildings - then that is [one] of its signs. The (Hour) is one of the five things of the unseen. No one knows them except Allah. Then (the Holy Prophet) recited (the folowing verse):" Verily Allah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the Hour and He it is Who sends down the rain and knows that which is in the wombs. And no soul knows what it shall earn on the morrow and a soul knows not in what land it shall die. Verily Allah is Knowing, Aware." He (Abu Huraira) said: Then the person stood up (and made his way). Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Bring him back to me. He was searched for, but they could not find him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ thereupon said: He was Gabriel and he wanted to teach you when you did not ask.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَلُونِي فَهَابُوهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِسْلاَمُ قَالَ لاَ تُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلاَةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِيمَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَكِتَابِهِ وَلِقَائِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ كُلِّهِ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الإِحْسَانُ قَالَ أَنْ تَخْشَى اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لاَ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ قَالَ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَرْأَةَ تَلِدُ رَبَّهَا فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الصُّمَّ الْبُكْمَ مُلُوكَ الأَرْضِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ رِعَاءَ الْبَهْمِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا فِي خَمْسٍ مِنَ الْغَيْبِ لاَ يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ { إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَىِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ} قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رُدُّوهُ عَلَىَّ فَالْتُمِسَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ أَرَادَ أَنْ تَعَلَّمُوا إِذْ لَمْ تَسْأَلُوا

"Umar bin Al-Khattab told me: 'While we were with the Messenger of Allah [SAW] one day, a man appeared before us whose clothes were exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly black. We could see no signs of travel on him, but none of us knew him. He came and sat before the Messenger of Allah [SAW], putting his knees against his, and placing his hands on his thighs, then he said: "O Muhammad, tell me about Islam." He said: "It is to bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah [SWT] and that Muhammad [SAW] is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the Salah, to give Zakah, to fast Ramadan, and to perform Hajj to the House if you are able to bear the journey." He said: "You have spoken the truth." And we were amazed by his asking him, and then saying, "You have spoken the truth". Then he said: "Tell me about Faith." He said: "It is to believe in Allah [SWT] , His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and in the Divine Decree, its good and its bad." He said: "You have spoken the truth." He said: "Tell me about Al-Ihsan." He said: "It is to worship Allah [SWT] as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Him, He can see you." He said: "Tell me about the Hour." He said: "The one who is asked about it does not know more about it than the one who is asking." He said: "Then tell me about its signs." He said: "When a slave woman gives birth to her mistress, when you see the barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in making tall buildings.'" 'Umar said: 'Three (days) passed, then the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to me: "O 'Umar, do you know who the questioner was?" I said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "That was Jibril, peace be upon him, who came to you to teach you your religion."

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ شَدِيدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعَرِ لاَ يُرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرُ السَّفَرِ وَلاَ يَعْرِفُهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ قَالَ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةَ وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً قَالَ صَدَقْتَ فَعَجِبْنَا إِلَيْهِ يَسْأَلُهُ وَيُصَدِّقُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِيمَانِ قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَالْقَدَرِ كُلِّهِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِحْسَانِ قَالَ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ قَالَ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ بِهَا مِنَ السَّائِلِ قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَمَارَاتِهَا قَالَ أَنْ تَلِدَ الأَمَةُ رَبَّتَهَا وَأَنْ تَرَى الْحُفَاةَ الْعُرَاةَ الْعَالَةَ رِعَاءَ الشَّاءِ يَتَطَاوَلُونَ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَبِثْتُ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا عُمَرُ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَنِ السَّائِلُ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ أَتَاكُمْ لِيُعَلِّمَكُمْ أَمْرَ دِينِكُمْ

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] would sit among his Companions and if a stranger came, he would not know which of them was he (the Prophet [SAW]) until he asked. So we suggested to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] that we should make a dais for him so that any stranger would know him if he came to him. So we built for him a bench made of clay on which he used to sit. (One day) we were sitting and the Messenger of Allah [SAW] was sitting in his spot, when a man came along who was the most handsome and good-smelling of all people, and it was as if no dirt had ever touched his garments. He came near the edge of the rug and greeted him, saying: 'Peace be upon you, O Muhammad!' He returned the greeting, and he said: 'Shall I come closer, O Muhammad?' He came a little closer, and he kept telling him to come closer, until he put his hands on the knees of the Messenger of Allah [SAW]. He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me, what is Islam?' He said: 'Islam means to worship Allah and not associate anything with Him; to establish Salah, to pay Zakah, to perform Hajj to the House, and to fast Ramadan.' He said: 'If I do that, will I have submitted (be a Muslim)?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth,' we found it odd. He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me, what is faith?' He said: 'To believe in Allah [SWT], His Angels, the Book, the Prophets, and to believe in the Divine Decree.' He said: 'If I do that, will I have believed?' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Yes.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me, what is Al-Ihsan?' He said: 'To worship Allah [SWT] as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Him, He can see you.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' He said: 'O Muhammad, tell me about the Hour.' He lowered his head and did not answer. Then he repeated the question, and he did not answer. Then he repeated the question (a third time) and he did not answer. Then he raised his head and said: 'The one who is being asked does not know more than the one who is asking. But it has signs, by which it may be known. When you see the herdsmen competing in building tall buildings, when you see the barefoot and naked ruling the Earth, when you see a woman giving birth to her mistress. Five things which no one knows except Allah [SWT]. Verily, Allah, with Him (alone) is the knowledge of the Hour up to His saying: 'Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things).' Then he said: 'No, by the One who sent Muhammad with the truth, with guidance and glad tidings, I did not know him more than any man among you. That was Jibril, peace be upon you, who came down in the form of Dihyah Al-Kalbi.'"

[Machine] "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when we reached outside the city, we saw a rider approaching us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'It seems that this rider wants to meet you.' The man came to us, greeted us, and we returned his greeting. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, 'Where are you coming from?' He replied, 'From my family, children, and tribe.' The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Where are you going?' He said, 'I intend to meet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'You have indeed met him.' The man asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me about faith.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Faith is to testify that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayer, pay the Zakat, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj.' The man said, 'I have accepted.' Then, his camel entered a net of rats, causing the camel and the man to fall and he died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Hold me responsible for this man.' 'Ammaar ibn Yaasir and Hudhayfah helped place him in a sitting position. They said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 'He has already passed away.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from them and said, 'Didn't you see me turning away from him? I saw two angels pressing fruits of Paradise for him, so I knew that he died while hungry.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'By Allah, he is from those mentioned by Allah in the verse: 'Those who believed and did not mix their faith with injustice, for them is security, and they are rightly guided.' (Surah Al-Anaam, 6:82)' He added, 'Bury your brother. We carried him to water, washed him, shrouded him, and took him to his grave.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat at the edge of the grave and said, 'Stay strong and do not tear your garments, for we will go through this grief and others will suffer it.'"

خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا بَرَزْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا رَاكِبٌ يُوضِعُ نَحْوَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَأَنَّ هَذَا الرَّاكِبَ إِيَّاكُمْ يُرِيدُ قَالَ فَانْتَهَى الرَّجُلُ إِلَيْنَا فَسَلَّمَ فَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَقْبَلْتَ؟ قَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِي وَوَلَدِي وَعَشِيرَتِي قَالَ فَأَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ قَالَ أُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَقَدْ أَصَبْتَهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عَلِّمْنِي مَا الْإِيمَانُ؟قَالَ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ قَالَ قَدْ أَقْرَرْتُ قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ بَعِيرَهُ دَخَلَتْ يَدُهُ فِي شَبَكَةِ جُرْذَانٍ فَهَوَى بَعِيرُهُ وَهَوَى الرَّجُلُ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى هَامَتِهِ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيَّ بِالرَّجُلِ قَالَ فَوَثَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ وَحُذَيْفَةُ فَأَقْعَدَاهُ فَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قُبِضَ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَا رَأَيْتُمَا إِعْرَاضِي عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ مَلَكَيْنِ يَدُسَّانِ فِي فِيهِ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ مَاتَ جَائِعًا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذَا وَاللهِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ أُولَئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ} [الأنعام 82] قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ دُونَكُمْ أَخَاكُمْ قَالَ فَاحْتَمَلْنَاهُ إِلَى الْمَاءِ فَغَسَّلْنَاهُ وَحَنَّطْنَاهُ وَكَفَّنَّاهُ وَحَمَلْنَاهُ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى جَلَسَ عَلَى شَفِيرِ الْقَبْرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَلْحِدُوا وَلَا تَشُقُّوا فَإِنَّ اللَّحْدَ لَنَا وَالشَّقَّ لِغَيْرِنَا

ʼUmar bin al-Khattab ؓ told me: Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day, a man came to us whose garment was exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly black, and we did not see any signs of travel on him, and none of us knew who he was. He came and sat before the Prophet ﷺ, resting his knees against his and placing his hands on his thighs. He said: O Muhammad, tell me about Islam: what is Islam? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿIslam means to bear witness that there is no god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, to establish regular prayer, to pay zakali, to fast Ramadan and to perform pilgrimage to the House (the Kaʿbah), if you have the means.ʿ He said: You have spoken the truth. He (‘Umar) said: It amazed us, how he questioned him and said that he had spoken the truth. He said: Tell me about faith (Eeman). He said: ʿFaith is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in al-qadar (the divine will and decree), both good and bad.ʿ He said: You have spoken the truth. He said: Tell me about ihsan: what is ilisan? - Yazeed said: - ʿIt is to worship Allah as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Ilim, He sees you.ʿ He said: Tell me about the Hour. He said: “The one who is asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking.” He said: Then tell me about its signs. Ise said: ʿWhen the slave woman gives birth to her mistress, and when you see the barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in the construction of lofty buildings.” He [Umar] said: Then he went away. He sumar waited for a while - Yazeed said: three (days). Then he (the Prophet ﷺ said to me: ʿOʿUmar, do you know who that questioner was?ʿ I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: “That was Jibreel, who came to you to teach you your religion.ʿ Ibn ‘Umar said. ʿUmar ؓ told us: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he mentioned the same hadeeth, except that he said: No signs of travel were to be seen on him. And he- said: ʿUmar said: 1 waited for three (days), then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “oʻUmar...”

l said to Ibn ʿUmar. We travel to different countries and we meet people who say there is no qadar (divine decree), Ibn ʿUmar said: If you meet them, tell them that ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar has nothing to do with them and they have nothing to do with him-three times. Then he started narrating Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , there came a man... and he described his appearance, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Come closer, so he came closer. He said: Come closer, so he came closer. He said: Come closer, so he came closer, until his knees were nearly touching [the Prophet ﷺʿs] knees. Then he said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, tell me what is faith [or about faith]. He said: “To believe in Allah. His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in al-qadar.ʿ - Sufyan said: I think he said: ʿ... both good and bad.ʿ He said: What is Islam? He said: “To establish prayer, pay zakah, perform pilgrimage to the House, to fast Ramadan and to do ghusl in the case of janabah.ʿ For all of that, he [the stranger] said: You are right, you are right. The people said: We never saw any man show more respect to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than this man did. It was as if he was teaching the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then he said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about ihsan.He said: “It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for even if you do not see Him. He sees you.ʿ For all of that we said: We never saw any man show more respect to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than this man did, he said: You are right, you are right. He said: Tell me about the Hour. He said: “The one who is asked about it does not know more about it than one who is asking.ʿ He said: You are right. He said it several times, and we never saw any man show more respect to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than this man did. Then he left. Sufyan said: I heard that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Look for him,” but they did not find him. IIe said: ʿThat was Jihree who came to you to teach you your religion. He never came to me in any form but I recognised him, except for this form.” It was narrated that Ibn Ya’mar said: I asked Ibn ʿUmar-or a man asked him: We travel in this land and we meet people who say, There is no qadar (divine decree), Ibn ʿUmar said: If you meet those people, tell them that ‘Abdullah bin ʿUmar has nothing to do with them and they have nothing to do with him - he said it three times. Then he told us. Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man came and said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, may I draw closer? He said: ʿCome closer.ʿ So he came a little closer, then he said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, may I come closer? He said: ʿCome closer.” So he came a little closer, then he said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, may I come closer? He said: ʿCome closer.” So he came a little closer until his knees were almost touching the knees of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then he said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what is faith? - and he mentioned a similar report.

One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appeared before the public so a man came to him and then said: Prophet of Allah, what is Iman? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you affirm your faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His meeting, His Messengers and that you affirm your faith in the Resurrection hereafter. He said: Messenger of Allah, what is al-Islam? He replied: Al-Islam is that you worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him and you establish obligatory prayer and you pay the obligatory alms (Zakat) and you observe the fast of Ramadan. He said: Messenger of Allah, what is al-Ihsan? He replied: That you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and for if you fail to see Him. He said: Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour (of Doom)? He replied: The one who is asked about it is no better informed than the inquirer, however I will narrate some of its signs to you. When the slave-girl will give birth to her master, then that is from its signs. When the naked, barefooted would become the chiefs of the people, then that is from its signs. When the shepherds of the black (camels) would exult themselves in buildings, then that is from its signs. (The Hour is) Among one of the five which no one knows but Allah. Then he recited (the verse): "Verily Allah! with Him alone is the knowledge of the Hour and He it is Who sends down the rain and knows that which is in the wombs. And no soul knows what it shall earn tomorrow, and a soul knows not in what land it shall die. Verily Allah is Knowing, Aware." He (Abu Huraira) said: Then the person turned back and went away. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Bring that man back to me. They went to bring him back, but they saw nothing there. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: he was Gabriel, who came to teach the people their religion. (Using translation from Muslim 8e)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا بَارِزًا لِلنَّاسِ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ الْإِيمَانُ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكِتَابِهِ وَلِقَائِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْبَعْثِ الْآخِرِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ الْإِسْلَامُ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الْإِحْسَانُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَا تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنَ السَّائِلِ وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا إِذَا وَلَدَتِ الْأَمَةُ رَبَّهَا فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْعُرَاةُ الْحُفَاةُ رُءُوسَ النَّاسِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا وَإِذَا تَطَاوَلَ رِعَاءُ الْبَهْمِ فِي الْبُنْيَانِ فَذَاكَ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِهَا فِي خَمْسٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللهُ ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {إِنَّ اللهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ} [لقمان 34] ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ الرَّجُلَ فَأَخَذُوا لِيَرُدُّوهُ فَلَمْ يَرَوْا شَيْئًا فَقَالَ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ جَاءَ لِيُعَلِّمَ النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ

[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on our mounts from the city while it was devouring date pits. So, a person stood up and said, "This man does not have any provisions." The Prophet ﷺ hastened his pace and we hastened with him. Then, we found a young boy whose lips were cracked from eating the leaves of the trees, so he asked him, "Where are you going?" He replied, "I intend to meet Muhammad ﷺ in order to pledge allegiance to him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I am Muhammad, I am the Messenger of Allah." The boy greeted him with peace and asked him to show him the way to Islam. The Prophet ﷺ said, "You bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, and you affirm what has come from Allah." The boy said, "I affirm." The Prophet ﷺ continued, "And you establish the prayer." The boy said, "I establish it." The Prophet ﷺ further said, "And you fast in Ramadan." The boy said, "I fast." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "And you perform pilgrimage to the House (of Allah)." The boy said, "I will perform it." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left. Ja`far said, "We surrounded him (the boy) in order to hear what he would be asked next." Then, the Prophet ﷺ left and we left. Then, Bilal's hands were caught in the legs of a rat and it bit him, so the Prophet ﷺ turned around and said, "Call the man." We found him with a bent neck and he had died. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, looked at him, turned away from him with his face and said, "Carry him to the water." So, we washed him, wrapped him in a funeral shroud, and placed him in a coffin. Then, he said, "Dig a grave for him and make it deep, for the grave is ours and the partition is for others." He sat on his grave but did not tell us anything. Then, he said, "Shall I not inform you about this man? He is one of those who did little and earned a lot, those who Allah said about, 'Indeed, those who believed and did not mix their belief with injustice.' I turned away from him while two angels push down the fruits of paradise into his mouth."

[Machine] O Abu Abdur-Rahman, indeed we are traveling and we meet people who say there is no predestination. So, if you meet them, inform them that Ibn Umar is innocent from them. We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man came to him, handsome in appearance, with a pleasant fragrance and clean clothes. He greeted the Prophet ﷺ and asked, "Can I come close to you?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Approach." So, he came closer until his knees touched the knees of the Prophet ﷺ . Then he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam? "The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to give zakat, to perform Hajj pilgrimage to the House of Allah, fasting in the month of Ramadan, and to perform ablution from impurity." The man asked, "If I do that, am I a Muslim?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." The man asked again, "Tell me about faith (Iman)." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and destiny, both its good and bad aspects." The man asked, "If I do that, am I a believer?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." The man then asked, "Tell me about excellence (Ihsan)." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then know that He sees you." The man asked, "If I do that, am I a person of excellence?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes." We said, "We have never seen anyone more virtuous in appearance, with a better fragrance, and showing more respect to the Prophet ﷺ than this man. When the man left, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Do you know who this man was?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet ﷺ said, "This was Gabriel ﷺ . He came to teach you your religion."

يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّا نُسَافِرُ فَنَلْقَى أَقْوَامًا يَقُولُونُ لَا قَدَرَ قَالَ فَإِذَا لَقِيتَ أُولَئِكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ مِنْهُمْ بَرِيءٌ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ حَسَنُ الْوَجْهِ طَيِّبُ الرِّيحِ نَقِيُّ الثَّوْبِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَدْنُو مِنْكَ؟ قَالَ «ادْنُهْ» فَدَنَا دَنْوَةً قَالَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا حَتَّى اصْطَكَّتَا رُكْبَتَاهُ رُكْبَتَيِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الْإِسْلَامُ؟ قَالَ «شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ وَإِقَامُ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءُ الزَّكَاةِ وَحَجُّ الْبَيْتِ وَصِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ وَالْغُسْلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُسْلِمٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ قَالَ فَمَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ «الْإِيمَانُ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ وَالْقِيَامَةِ وَالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ وَحُلْوِهِ وَمُرِّهِ مِنَ اللهِ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُؤْمِنٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ فَمَا الْإِحْسَانُ؟ قَالَ «تَعْبُدُ اللهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مُحْسِنٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ صَدَقْتَ قُلْنَا مَا رَأَيْنَا رَجُلًا أَحْسَنَ وَجْهًا وَلَا أَطْيَبَ رِيحًا وَأَشَدَّ تَوْقِيرًا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَوْلُهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ صَدَقْتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيَّ بِالرَّجُلِ فَقُمْنَا وَقُمْتُ أَنَا عَلَى طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمْ نَرَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَنْ هَذَا؟» قَالُوا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ مَنَاسِكَ دِينِكُمْ مَا أَتَانِي فِي صُورَةٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا عَرَفْتُهُ إِلَّا هَذِهِ الصُّورَةَ»

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man came forward with a pleasant face, good features, and a pleasant fragrance. We were amazed by his good looks, features, and fragrance, so he greeted the Prophet ﷺ and then stood up and asked, "Can I come closer, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Yes." So he came closer, then stood up and asked again, "Can I come closer, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Yes." He came even closer until his thigh was next to the thigh of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his leg was next to his leg. Then he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is faith?" He replied, "To believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and destiny, both good and bad." He said, "You have spoken the truth." We were amazed by his statement that he spoke the truth to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?" He replied, "To testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, give Zakat, fast in Ramadan, perform Hajj, and to cleanse oneself from impurity." He said, "You have spoken the truth." We were amazed by his affirmation of the Messenger of Allah's statement. Then he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is Ihsan?" He replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion, then know that He sees you." He said, "You have spoken the truth." We were amazed by his affirmation of the Messenger of Allah's statement. Then he turned back and left. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Go after the man." We searched for him but couldn't find him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "This was Gabriel who came to teach you your religion, that whenever he came to me before, I recognized him except in this form."

"عن يحيى بن يعمر عن ابن عمر قال: حدثني عمر بن الخطاب أنه كان عند رسول الله ﷺ فجاء رجلٌ عليه ثوبان أبيضان، مُقَوَّمٌ حَسَنُ النَّحو والناحية، فقال: أدنو منك يا رسول الله؟ قال: ادن، ثم قال: أدنو منك يا رسول الله؟ قال: ادنُ، فلم يدن حتى كانت ركبته عند ركبةِ رسول الله ﷺ ، ثم قال: أسألك؟ قال: سَلْ، قال: أخبرني عن الإسلام؟ قال: شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله، وأني رسول الله، وإقام الصلاة، وإيتاء الزكاة، وحج البيت، وصوم رمضان، قال: فإذا فعلت ذلك فأنا مسلم؟ قال رسول الله ﷺ : نعم، قال: يا رسول الله: أَخبرني عن الإيمان؟ قال: أن تؤمن بالله وملائكته، وكتبه، ورسله، والبعثِ بعد الموتِ، والجنة والنار، وتؤمن بالقدر خيره وشره، قال: فإذا فعلت ذلك فأنا مؤمن؟ قال: صدقت، ثم أخبرني ما الإحسان؟ قال: أن تخشى الله كأنكَ تَراه، فإن كنت لا تراه فإنه يراكَ، قال: صدقت، قال: أخبرني عن الساعة؟ قال: ما المسئولُ عنها بأعلم من السائل، هن خمس لا يعلمهن إلا الله: {إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ ... } الآية، فقال الرجل: صدقت".

Jabir b Samura reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to observe fast on the day of Ashura and exhorted us to do it and was particular about it But when (fasting) in Ramadan was made obligatory, he hence. forth neither commanded us nor forbade us, nor was he so particular about it.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُنَا بِصِيَامِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ وَيَحُثُّنَا عَلَيْهِ وَيَتَعَاهَدُنَا عِنْدَهُ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا وَلَمْ يَتَعَاهَدْنَا عِنْدَهُ

(Using translation from Muslim 1128)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِصِيَامِ عَاشُورَاءَ وَيَحُثُّنَا عَلَيْهِ وَيَتَعَاهَدُنَا عِنْدَهُ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا بِهِ وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَتَعَاهَدْنَا عِنْدَهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to fast on the day of Ashura and would emphasize it and urge us to observe it. But when the month of Ramadan was made obligatory, he did not command us to fast it, nor did he prohibit us from it, and he did not emphasize it.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَأْمُرُنَا بِصِيَامِ عَاشُورَاءَ وَيَحُثُّنَا وَيَتَعَاهَدُنَا عِنْدَهُ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا بِهِ وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا عَنْهُ وَلَمْ يَتَعَاهَدْنَا عِنْدَهُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to fast on the day of Ashura and encouraged us to do so. He would remind us about it and remind us in his presence. But when Ramadan was prescribed, he did not command or forbid us from fasting on the day of Ashura, and he did not emphasize it in his presence. This is the wording of the hadith narrated by Ubaydullah.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُنَا بِصِيَامِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ وَيَحُثُّنَا عَلَيْهِ وَيَتَعَاهَدُنَا عِنْدَهُ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا وَلَمْ يَتَعَاهَدْنَا عِنْدَهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ

" عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَأمُرُنَا بِصِيَامِ عَاشُورَاءَ، وَيَحُثُّنَا عَلَيْهِ، وَيَتَعَاهَدُنَا عِنْدَهُ، فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ رَمَضَانُ لَمْ يَأمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَتَعَاهَدْنَا عنْدَهُ ".

Had the month been lengthened for me I would have continued observing Saum Wisal, so that those who act with forced hardness would (have been obliged) to abandon it. You are not like me (or he said): I am not like you. I continue to do so (in a state) that my Lord feeds me and provides me drink.

وَاصَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي أَوَّلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَوَاصَلَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَبَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَوْ مُدَّ لَنَا الشَّهْرُ لَوَاصَلْنَا وِصَالاً يَدَعُ الْمُتَعَمِّقُونَ تَعَمُّقَهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِثْلِي أَوْ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ إِنِّي أَظَلُّ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي
