[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said to me, "Wahshi." I said, "Yes." He said, "Did you kill Hamza?" I said, "Yes, and praise be to Allah who honored me with his hand and did not disgrace me with his hand." Quraysh said to him, "We love him while he is the killer of Hamza." So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me." So he spat on the ground three times and wiped it on my chest, and he said, "O Wahshi, go out and fight in the cause of Allah as you fought to defend the cause of Allah."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لِي «وَحْشِيٌّ» فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَقَتَلْتَ حَمْزَةَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَهُ بِيَدِي وَلَمْ يُهِنِّي بِيَدَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ قُرَيْشٌ أَنْحِبْهُ وَهُوَ قَاتَلُ حَمْزَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِي فَتَفَلَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ثَلَاثَةً وَدَفَعَ فِي صَدْرِي ثَلَاثَةً وَقَالَ «يَا وَحْشِيُّ اخْرُجْ فَقَاتَلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتَ لِتَصُدَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللهِ»  

[Machine] The Ansar said among themselves, "If we were to gather wealth for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he were to stretch out his hand, no one would come between him and it." So they went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we want to gather wealth for you." Then Allah revealed, "{Say, 'I do not ask of you for it any payment except for love of [my] relatives'}." So they left in disagreement. Some of them said, "Did you not see what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said?" And some of them said, "He only said this so that we fight for the sake of his family and support them." And then Allah revealed, "{Or do they say, 'He invented a lie about Allah'?} to His saying, '{And He is the One who accepts repentance from His servants}'." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered them the opportunity for repentance until His saying, "{And He responds to those who believe and do righteous deeds and increases [for] them from His bounty}." They were the ones who said, "You should repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness."  

قَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ لَوْ جَمَعْنَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَالًا فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ لَا يَحُولُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ أَحَدٌ فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَجْمَعَ لَكَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى} فَخَرَجُوا مُخْتَلِفِينَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَلَمْ تَرَوْا إلى مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّمَا قَالَ هَذَا لِنُقَاتِلَ عَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَنَنْصُرَهُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللهِ كَذِبًا} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ} فَعَرَضَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالتَّوْبَةِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَيَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَيَزِيدُهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ} هُمُ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا هَذَا أَنْ تَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللهِ وَتَسْتَغْفِرُوهُ  

[Machine] "He was praised by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself. It was revealed about him, 'When the help of Allah comes and the victory, and you see people entering the religion of Allah in multitudes, then exalt [Him] with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is ever Accepting of repentance.'"  

«نُعِيَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَفْسُهُ» أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَالْفَتْحُ} «فَتْحُ مَكَّةَ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِرَبِّكَ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَضَرَ أَجَلُكَ»  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the Battle of Khaybar, the revelation of the verse "When the help of Allah and the conquest comes" until the end of the story came to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Ali ibn Abi Talib, O Fatimah, the help of Allah and the conquest has come." "And you see the people entering the religion of Allah in groups, so exalt the praise of your Lord and ask His forgiveness. Indeed, He is ever accepting of repentance." He ﷺ also said that after him, the struggle of jihad will be among the believers. Ali asked, "How do we fight the believers who say 'We believe'?" He ﷺ said, "Based on their actions in religion, if they act upon their own opinions without consulting in religion. Indeed, religion is solely from Allah, His command and His prohibition." Ali asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what if a matter arises for which there is no verse revealed and no sunnah specified by you?" He ﷺ said, "You should hold a consultation among the righteous believers and not decide based on personal opinions. If I had appointed a successor, no one would be more deserving of it than you, for your early acceptance of Islam, your relationship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , your marriage to his daughter, and your possession of the leader of the women of the believers. And even before that, what I faced in terms of the hardships of Abu Talib, and the revelation of the Quran, I am eager to care for his children."  

لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ خَيْبَرَ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ {إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَالْفَتْحُ} إِلَى آخِرَ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَا فَاطِمَةُ جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللهِ وَالْفَتْحُ» {وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دَيْنِ اللهِ أَفْوَاجًا فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا} عَلَى أَنَّهُ يَكُونَ بَعْدِي فِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْجِهَادُ قَالَ عَلَامَ نُجَاهِدُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا؟ قَالَ «عَلَى الْإِحْدَاثِ فِي الدِّينِ إِذَا مَا عَمِلُوا بِالرَّأْيِ وَلَا رَأْيَ فِي الدِّينِ إِنَّمَا الدِّينُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ أَمْرُهُ وَنَهْيُهُ» قَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَرَضَ لَنَا أَمْرٌ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ فِيهِ قُرْآنٌ وَلَمْ يُخَصِّصْ فِيهِ سُنَّةٌ مِنْكَ قَالَ «تَجْعَلُونَهُ شُورَى بَيْنَ الْعَابِدِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَا تَقْضُونَهُ بِرَأْيِ خَاصَّةٍ فَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُسْتَخْلِفًا أَحَدًا لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَقَّ بِهِ مِنْكَ لقِدَمِكَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وقَرابَتِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وصِهْرِكَ وَعِنْدَكَ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَقَبْلَ ذَلِكَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ بَلَاءِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ إِيَّايَ وَنَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ وَأَنَا حَرِيصٌ عَلَى أَنْ أَرْعَى لَهُ فِي وَلَدِهِ»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he returned from the Battle of Tabuk and performed Umrah, when he descended from the Thaniyyah of 'Usfan, he commanded his companions to rely on the rock until he returned to them. He went and stayed at the grave of his mother and supplicated to his Lord for a long time. Then, he started crying and his weeping intensified. These people also started crying due to his weeping and they said, "Messenger of Allah, why are you crying in this place, unless you have announced something to your Ummah that they cannot bear?" When these people cried, he rose and returned to them and said, "What makes you cry?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we cried because of your weeping. We thought that you had announced something to your Ummah that they cannot bear." He said, "No, and some of them have occurred, but I went to my mother's grave and supplicated to Allah to allow me to seek intercession for her on the Day of Resurrection. Allah refused to grant me permission, so I cried. Then, Gabriel, ﷺ , came to me and said, "Ibrahim's seeking forgiveness for his father was only because of a promise he made to him. But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he disowned him." So you have disowned your mother as Ibrahim disowned his father. I sought forgiveness for her and pleaded to my Lord to save my Ummah from four things, and He granted me two and refused to grant me the other two. I pleaded that my Ummah should not be afflicted by famine and drought, but He granted me only removal of famine and drought. I pleaded that my Ummah should not be defeated by their enemies, but He removed defeat and granted victory. I pleaded that my Ummah should not be afflicted by stoning from the sky and sinking of the earth, and He removed both. But He refused to remove two, the killing and internal strife among themselves." He returned to the grave of his mother and stayed there much longer than before.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكٍ وَاعْتَمَرَ فَلَمَّا هَبَطَ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ عُسْفَانَ أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَنِدُوا إِلَى الْعَقَبَةِ حَتَّى أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ فَذَهَبَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى قَبْرِ أُمِّهِ فَنَاجَى رَبَّهُ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ بَكَى فَاشْتَدَّ بُكَاؤُهُ وَبَكَى هَؤُلَاءِ لِبُكَائِهِ وَقَالُوا مَا بََكََى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِهَذَا الْمَكَانِ إِلَّا وَقَدْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أُمَّتِهِ شَيْئًا لَا يُطِيقُهُ فَلَمَّا بَكَى هَؤُلَاءِ قَامَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «مَا يُبْكِيكُمْ؟» قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ بَكَيْنا لِبُكائِكَ قُلْنَا لَعَلَّهُ أَحْدَثَ فِي أُمَّتِكَ شَيْئًا لَا يُطِيقُهُ قَالَ لَا وَقَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُ وَلَكِنْ نَزَلْتُ عَلَى قَبْرِ أُمِّي فَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لِي فِي شفاعَتِها يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَبَى اللهُ أَنْ يَأْذَنَ لِي فَرَحِمْتُهَا وَهِيَ أُمِّي فَبَكَيْتُ ثُمَّ جَاءَنِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ {وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلَّهِ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ} فَتَبَرَّأَ أَنْتَ مِنْ أُمِّكَ كَمَا تَبَرَّأَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مِنْ أَبِيهِ فَرَحِمْتُهَا وَهِيَ أُمِّي وَدَعَوْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَنْ أُمَّتِي أَرْبَعًا فَرَفَعَ عَنْهُمِ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَنْهُمِ اثْنَتَيْنِ دَعَوْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَنْهُمُ الرَّجْمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْغَرِقَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَأَنْ لَا يَلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا وَأَنْ لَا يُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَرَفَعَ اللهُ عَنْهُمُ الرَّجْمَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْغَرِقَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَأَبَى اللهُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَنْهُمِ اثْنَتَيْنِ الْقَتْلَ وَالْهَرْجَ وَإِنَّمَا عَدَلَ إِلَى قَبْرِ أُمِّهِ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مدفونةٌ تَحْتَ كَذَا وكَذَا وَكَانَ عُسْفَانَ لَهُمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever visits a sick person and engages in mercy, when he sits with him, he will be surrounded by mercy. If he visits him in the early part of the day, seventy thousand angels will ask forgiveness for him until the evening, and if he visits him in the later part of the day, seventy thousand angels will ask forgiveness for him until the morning." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, this is for the one who visits, but what about the sick person?" He replied, "His reward will be multiplied even more."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا خَاضَ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ غَمَرَتْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ فَإِنْ عَادَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ حَتَّى يُمْسِي وَإِنْ عَادَ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ» فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذَا للعائدِ فَمَا لِلْمَرِيضِ؟ قَالَ «أَضْعَافُ هَذَا»  

"مَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا خَاضَ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ إِلَيهِ غَمَرَتْهُ الرَّحْمَةُ، فَإِنْ عَادَهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَار اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَك حَتَّى يُمْسِي، وَإِنْ عَادَهُ مِنْ

آخِر النَّهَار، اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِح قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا لِلْعَائِدِ، فَمَا لِلْمَرِيضِ؟ قَال: أَضْعَافُ هَذَا".  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ often showed affection towards me, gently touched my head, and sought forgiveness for me and my descendants as many times as the number of fingers on his hand."  

«أَرْدَفَنِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِرَارًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِي وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لِي وَلِذُرِّيَّتِي عَدَدَ مَا بِيَدِي مِنَ الْأَصَابِعِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever is given, then they should be grateful. And whoever is tested, then they should be patient. And whoever is wronged, then they should seek forgiveness. And whoever wrongs others, then they should forgive." Then he remained silent, and they said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about those people?" He said, "They are the ones who have security and guidance."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أُعْطِيَ فَشَكَرَ وابْتُلِيَ فَصَبَرَ وَظَلَمَ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ وَظُلِمَ فَغَفَرَ» ثُمَّ سَكَتَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَالَهُ؟ قَالَ «أُولَئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ»  

"مَنْ ابْتُلِى فَصَبَر، وَأُعْطِى فَشَكَر، وَظُلِمَ فَغَفَرَ، وَظَلَمَ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ، أُولئِكَ لَهُمُ الأمْنُ وهم مُهْتَدُونَ".  

[Machine] Mother to Mubashshir: Read, my son, Mubashshir, the greeting of peace from me. He replied: Ka'b said, "That is not what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The souls of the martyrs are in green birds, hanging wherever they wish.'" She said, "Indeed, I seek forgiveness from Allah." He said, "That is how I heard it."  

أُمُّ مُبَشِّرٍ أَقْرِئِ ابْنِي مُبَشِّرًا مِنِّي السَّلَامَ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَرْوَاحُ الشُّهَدَاءِ فِي طَيْرٍ خَضِرٍ تَعْلُقُ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ» قَالَتْ فَإِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ قَالَ «هَكَذَا سَمِعْتُهُ»  

[Machine] "They studied and received good news, and may Allah increase you in goodness and love you and love those who love you. Answer our questions, as the reward of the last is like the reward of the first, and mix your speech with seeking forgiveness."  

«تَدَارَسُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا وَزِيدُوا زَادَكُمُ اللهُ خَيْرًا وَأَحَبَّكُمْ وَأَحَبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكُمْ رُدُّوا عَلَيْنَا الْمَسَائِلَ فَإِنَّ أَجْرَ آخِرِهَا كَأَجْرِ أَوَّلِهَا وَاخْلِطُوا حَدِيثَكُمْ بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ»  

[Machine] About a man divorcing and not having witnesses and returning without witnesses, he said: "If he divorced without observing the waiting period and returned without observing the traditional practice, then he should have witnesses for his divorce and for his return, and seek forgiveness from Allah."  

عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ وَلَمْ يُشْهِدْ وَرَاجَعَ وَلَمْ يُشْهِدْ قَالَ «طَلَّقَ فِي غَيْرِ عِدَّةٍ وَرَاجَعَ فِي غَيْرِ سُنَّةٍ فَلْيُشْهِدْ عَلَى طَلَاقِهِ وَعَلَى مُرَاجَعَتِهِ وَلْيَسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ»  

[Machine] An elder sat with us in Ayyub's shop, wearing a woolen cloak. He overheard people talking, so he said, "Tell me, my master, about the Messenger of Allah." I said, "Name him for me." He said, "Qurrah ibn Da'mus al-Numayri." He said, "I came to the city, so I went to the Messenger of Allah with people. I wanted to get close to him, but I couldn't. So I called out to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for the young boy al-Numayri.' He said, 'May Allah forgive you.'"  

جَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا شَيْخٌ فِي دُكَّانِ أَيُّوبَ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةُ صُوفٍ فَسَمِعَ قَوْمًا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلَايَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَسَمِّهِ قَالَ قُرَّةُ بْنُ دَعْمُوصَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ قَالَ قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَجَعَلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُ فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ فَنَادَيْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِلْغُلَامِ النُّمَيْرِيِّ قَالَ «غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ»  

[Machine] A sheikh sat with us in the shop of Ayoub, may he be blessed with a woolen cloak. He heard some people talking and said to me, "My lord told me about the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ." I said, "Name him." He said, "Qurrah bin Damoosah Al-Numairi." He said, "I came to Al-Madinah and visited the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and there were people with him. I tried to get closer to him, but I couldn't. So, I called out to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for the boy Al-Numairi.' He said, 'May Allah forgive you.'"

[Machine] A group of people who sit from sunset until evening, praising and saying certain phrases. Abdullah said: "If they sit, let me know." When they sat down, they came to him, and he joined them and sat down. He had a headscarf on his head, which he removed when they started their praise. Abdullah bin Masood said, "I am Abdullah bin Masood." The people became silent, and he said, "You have brought a misguided innovation, or you have surpassed the knowledge of the companions of Muhammad ﷺ ." A man from the Banu Tamim tribe said, "We have not brought a misguided innovation, and we have not surpassed the knowledge of the companions of Muhammad ﷺ ." Umar bin Utbah bin Farqad said, "I seek forgiveness from Allah, O Ibn Masood, and I repent to Him." Abdullah bin Masood commanded them to disperse. Ibn Masood saw two gatherings in the mosque of Kufa, so he got up from one of them and asked, "Which of you was here before her?" One of them said, "We were." He said to the other, "Get up and go to them." So he made them one group.  

أَنَّ قَوْمًا يَقْعُدُونَ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ إِلَى الْعِشَاءِ يُسَبِّحُونَ يَقُولُونَ قُولُوا كَذَا وَقُولُوا كَذَا قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنْ قَعَدُوا فَآذِنُونِي» فَلَمَّا جَلَسُوا أَتَوْهُ فَانْطَلَقَ فَدَخَلَ مَعَهُمْ فَجَلَسَ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْنُسٌ فَأَخَذُوا فِي تَسْبِيحِهِمْ فَحَسَرَ عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ الْبُرْنُسَ وَقَالَ «أَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ» فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ «لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ بِبِدْعَةٍ ظَلْمَاءَ أَوْ لَقَدْ فَضَلْتُمْ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عِلْمًا» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ مَا جِئْنَا بِبِدْعَةٍ ظَلْمَاءَ وَلَا فَضَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عِلْمًا فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَتَفَرَّقُوا قَالَ وَرَأَى ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَلْقَتَيْنِ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَامَ مِنْهُمَا فَقَالَ «أَيَّتُكُمَا كَانَتْ قَبْلَ صَاحِبَتِهَا؟» قَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا نَحْنُ فَقَالَ لِلْأُخْرَى «قُومَا إِلَيْهَا» فَجَعَلَهُمْ وَاحِدَةً  

[Machine] That there were people sitting in the mosque after sunset and among them was a man who was saying "Exalt God in such and such a way, glorify God in such and such a way, and praise God in such and such a way." Abdallah asked, "Do they say this?" He replied, "Yes." Abdallah said, "When you see them doing that, come and inform me." So he went to them while he had a stick with him, and he sat down. When he heard what they were saying, he stood up, and he was a strong man. He said, "I am Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. By the One other than whom there is no deity, have you come with a dark innovation? Have you surpassed the Companions of Muhammad in knowledge?" Mu'adh said, "By Allah, we have not come with a dark innovation, nor have we surpassed the Companions of Muhammad in knowledge." Amr ibn Uthbah said, "O Abu Abdullah, we seek forgiveness from Allah." He said, "You should follow the straight path, for by Allah, if you do so, you will definitely be ahead. And if you take the right and left paths, you will go far astray."  

أَنَّ قَوْمًا يَجْلِسُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ كَبِّرُوا لِلَّهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وسَبِّحُوا لِلَّهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَاحْمَدُوا لِلَّهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُونَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَأْتِنِي فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِمَجْلِسِهِمْ فَأَتَاهُمْ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْنُسٌ فَجَلَسَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ مَا يَقُولُونَ قَامَ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا حَدِيدًا [290] فَقَالَ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ بِبِدْعَةٍ ظَلْمَاءَ أَوَلَقَدْ فَضُلْتُمْ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عِلْمًا؟ فَقَالَ مِعْضَدٌ وَاللَّهِ مَا جِئْنَا بِبِدْعَةٍ ظَلْمَاءَ وَلَا فَضُلْنَا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ عِلْمًا فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عُتْبَةَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ نَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالطَّرِيقِ فَالْزَمُوهُ فَوَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ فَعَلْتُمْ لَقَدْ سَبَقْتُمْ سَبْقًا بَعِيدًا وَإِنْ أَخَذْتُمْ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا لَتَضِلُّوا ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا»  

[Machine] Abdullah came and it was said to him, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, there are people here who are reciting Musaylimah's recitation." Abdullah replied and stayed for as long as Allah willed, then he came and said, "By the One whom I swear by, O Abu Abdur Rahman, I have left them now in a house and that Quran is with them." He ordered Qarzah bin Ka'b to go with the people, and he said, "Bring them." When he brought them, Abdullah said, "What is this after the spreading of Islam?" They said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman, we seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him, and we testify that Musaylimah is the liar who fabricates lies against Allah and His Messenger." Abdullah then accepted their repentance and sent them to Ash-Sham (Greater Syria), and they were about eighty men. But Ibn An-Nawwahah refused to repent, so Qarzah bin Ka'b ordered him to be taken to the market place, and his neck was struck, and he was ordered to take his own head and throw it into his mother's room. Abdullah bin Abdullah said, "After that, I met an old man among them in Ash-Sham, and he said to me, 'May Allah have mercy upon your father. I swear by Allah, if we had killed that day, all of us would have entered the Fire.'  

أُتِيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ هَهُنَا نَاسٌ يَقْرَءُونَ قِرَاءَةَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ فَرَدَّهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَلَبِثَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَلْبَثَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي أَحْلِفُ بِهِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَقَدْ تَرَكْتُهُمُ الْآنَ فِي دَارٍ وَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ الْمُصْحَفَ لَعِنْدَهُمْ فَأَمَرَ قَرَظَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ فَسَارَ بِالنَّاسِ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ «ائْتِ بِهِمْ» فَلَمَّا أَتَى بِهِمْ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «مَا هَذَا بَعْدَ اسْتِفَاضِ الْإِسْلَامِ؟» قَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ نَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَنَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ وَنَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ هُوَ الْكَذَّابُ الْمُفْتَرِي عَلَى اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ قَالَ فَاسْتَتَابَهُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَسَيَّرَهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَقَرِيبٌ مِنْ ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا وَأَبَى ابْنُ النَّوَّاحَةِ أَنْ يَتُوبَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ قَرَظَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ فَأَخْرَجَهُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ رَأْسَهُ فَيُلْقِيَهُ فِي حِجْرِ أُمِّهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَلَقِيتُ شَيْخًا مِنْهُمْ كَبِيرًا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِالشَّامِ فَقَالَ لِيَرْحَمِ اللهُ أَبَاكَ وَاللهِ لَوْ قَتَلْنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ لَدَخَلْنَا النَّارَ كُلُّنَا  

[Machine] "He used to pray at night, then he would say, 'O Nafi', did we stay awake?' He would reply, 'No,' so he would resume his prayer. Then he would say, 'O Nafi', did we stay awake?' I would say, 'Yes.' So he would sit and seek forgiveness and supplicate until dawn."  

«أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحْيِي اللَّيْلَ صَلَاةً» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «يَا نَافِعُ أَسْحَرْنَا؟» فَيَقُولُ لَا «فَيُعَاوِدُ الصَّلَاةَ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «يَا نَافِعُ أَسْحَرْنَا؟» فَأَقُولُ نَعَمْ «فَيَقْعُدُ فَيَسْتَغْفِرُ وَيَدْعُو حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever says Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) which all things humble themselves for His greatness, and Alhamdulillah which all things are humbled for His honor, and Alhamdulillah which all things submit to His sovereignty, and Alhamdulillah which all things surrender to His power, he will be rewarded with a thousand good deeds, he will be raised to a thousand degrees, and seventy thousand angels will seek forgiveness for him until the Day of Judgment."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي تَوَاضَعَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لَعَظَمَتِهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ذَلَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لِعِزَّتِهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَضَعَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لِمُلْكِهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي اسْتَسْلَمَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لِقُدْرَتِهِ فَقَالَهَا مَا يَطْلُبُ بِهَا مَا عِنْدَهُ كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ بِهَا أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ وَرَفَعَ لَهُ بِهَا أَلْفَ دَرَجَةٍ وَوَكَّلَ بِهِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ  

"مَن قَال: الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي تَوَاضع كُلُّ شَيء لعَظَمَته، وَالحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي ذَلَّ كُلُّ شَيء لِعِزَّتِهِ، وَالحَمدُ لله الَّذِي خَضَع كُلُّ شَيء لِمُلكِهِ، وَالحمْدُ لله الَّذِي اسْتَسْلمَ كُلُّ شَيءٍ لِقُدْرَتِهِ، فَقَالهَا يَطلُبُ بِهَا مَا عِنْدَهُ كتَبَ الله لهُ بهَا ألفَ حَسَنةٍ، وَرَفَعَ لهُ بِهَا أَلَفَ دَرَجَةٍ، ووَكَّلَ بِهِ سَبْعِينَ أَلفَ مَلَك يَستَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ".  

[Machine] Abu Bakr As-Siddiq received something from Umar, then he said, "Seek forgiveness for me, O my brother." This made Umar angry, and he said the same thing to him repeatedly, which made Umar even angrier. Abu Bakr mentioned this incident to the Prophet ﷺ, and they went to him and sat down. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Your brother asks you to seek forgiveness for him, so do not do so." Abu Bakr swore, "By the One who sent you with the truth as a Prophet, every time he asks me I seek forgiveness for him." Then he said, "There is no creation of Allah after you who is dearer to me than him." Abu Bakr said, "And by the One who sent you with the truth, there is no one after you dearer to me than him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not hurt me with regard to my companion. Verily, Allah has sent me with guidance and the true religion. You said, 'You have lied,' and Abu Bakr said, 'You have spoken the truth.' If Allah had not named him my companion, I would not have taken him as a close friend. But the brotherhood of Allah is sufficient. So calm down, every fruit has gone bad except the fruit of the son of Abu Quhafa."  

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ نَالَ مِنْ عُمَرَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا أَخِي فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَانَتْهَوْا إِلَيْهِ وَجَلَسُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَسْأَلُكَ أَخُوكَ أَنْ تَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُ فَلَا تَفْعَلُ» فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيًّا مَا مِنْ مَرَّةٍ يَسْأَلُنِي إِلَّا وَأَنَا أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ وَمَا مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ بَعْدَكَ أَحَدٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَنَا والذي بعثك بالحق مَا مِنْ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تُؤْذُونِي فِي صَاحِبِي فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ بَعَثَنِي بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ فَقُلْتُمْ كَذَبْتَ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ صَدَقْتَ وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ سَمَّاهُ صَاحِبًا لَاتَّخَذْتُهُ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ اللهِ أَلَا فَسُدُّوا كُلَّ خَوْخَةٍ إِلَّا خَوْخَةَ ابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى الْقُبُورِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْقُبُورِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ سَلَفُنَا وَنَحْنُ عَلَى الْأَثَرِ»  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَى الْقُبُورِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْقُبُورِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ لَنَا وَلَكُمْ أَنْتُمْ سَلَفُنَا وَنَحْنُ عَلَى الْأَثَرِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , said, "I used to forbid you from visiting graves, but now visit them and make your visit a prayer and seek forgiveness for them. I used to forbid you from eating sacrificial meat after three days, but now eat from it and preserve it. I used to forbid you from using certain animals as throwing objects, such as hyenas, porcupines, and hedgehogs, but now refrain from using them and benefit from them."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَزُورُوهَا وَاجْعَلُوا زِيَارَتَكمْ لَهَا صَلَاةً عَلَيْهِمْ واسْتِغْفَارًا لَهُمْ وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا وَادَّخِرُوا وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَمَّا يُنْبَذُ فِي الدُّبَاءِ وَالْحَنْتَمِ وَالْمُقَيَّرِ فَانْتَبِذُوا وَانْتَفِعُوا بِهَا»  

"إِنِّى كُنْتُ نَهيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَة الْقبُور فزورُوهَا، وَاجْعَلوا زِيَارَتَكُمْ لهَا صَلاةً عَلَيهِمْ وَاسْتغفَارًا لَهُمْ، ونهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ أَكلِ لُحُومِ الأضَاحِى بَعْدَ ثلاثٍ فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا وَادخِرُوا، ونَهيْتُكُمْ عَمَّا يُنْبَذُ فِى الدُّبَّاءِ والحنتَم والْمُقيَّر فانتَبِذوُا ، وانتَفِعُوا بها".  

[Machine] "Indeed, I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a bearer of glad tidings came to him with news of the victory that Allah had given to his army and the opening that Allah had granted them. He said, 'O Messenger of Allah, while we were pursuing the enemy who had already been defeated by Allah the Most High, I came across a man with a sword. When he realized that his sword was useless and he was being pursued, he started saying, "I am a Muslim, I am a Muslim." So the man asked, 'Did you kill him?' He replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, I sought refuge.' The Prophet asked, 'Could you not have dissected his heart to know if he was telling the truth or lying?' The man said, 'Had I dissected his heart, I wouldn't have known whether his heart was just a piece of flesh or not.' The Prophet said, 'You believed him without knowing what was in his heart or what he spoke. You have done right.' The man then said, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' The Prophet replied, 'I will not seek forgiveness for you.' The man died and they buried him, but he appeared on the surface of the earth. This happened three times, and when they saw this, they felt ashamed and afraid of what they had encountered. So they picked him up and threw him into one of those valleys among those valleys."  

إِنِّي لَعِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جَاءَهُ بَشِيرٌ مِنْ سَرِيَّتِهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالنَّصْرِ الَّذِي نَصَرَ اللهُ سَرِيَّتَهُ وَبِفَتْحِ اللهِ الَّذِي فَتَحَ لَهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَطْلُبُ الْقَوْمَ وَقَدْ هَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِذْ لَحِقْتُ رَجُلًا بِالسَّيْفِ فَلَمَّا حَسَّ أَنَّ السَّيْفَ مُوَاقِعُهُ وَهُوَ يَسْعَى وَيَقُولُ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ قَالَ «فَقَتَلْتَهُ؟» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا تَعَوَّذَ قَالَ «فَهَلَّا شَقَقْتَ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ فَنَظَرْتَ أَصَادِقٌ هُوَ أَمْ كَاذِبٌ؟» قَالَ لَوْ شَقَقْتُ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ مَا كَانَ عِلْمِي هَلْ قَلْبُهُ إِلَّا بَضْعَةٌ مِنْ لَحْمٍ؟ قَالَ «لَا مَا فِي قَلْبِهِ تَعْلَمُ وَلَا لِسَانِهِ صَدَّقْتَ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ «لَا أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ» قَالَ فَمَاتَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَدَفَنُوهُ فَأَصْبَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ دَفَنُوهُ فَأَصْبَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ اسْتَحْيَوْا وَخَزَوْا مِمَّا لَقِيَ فَاحْتَمَلُوهُ فَأَلْقَوْهُ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الشِّعَابِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an expedition. A man carried another man from among the polytheists. When he killed him with a spear, he said, "I am a Muslim." Then he went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have sinned, so seek forgiveness for me." He said, "What is that?" He said, "I carried a man from among the polytheists, and when I attacked him with a spear, he said, 'I am a Muslim.' I thought he was seeking protection, so I killed him." He said, "Could you not have pierced his heart until it became clear to you?" He said, "Would you clarify it for me, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "He spoke to you with his tongue, but you did not believe what he said in his heart." The man died, so we buried him, and in the morning he was on the earth. We commanded our boys to guard him, and in the morning he was on the earth. We said, "They were negligent, so we guarded him," but in the morning he was still on the ground. We went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him, and he said, "Indeed, it is accepted from the one who is worse than him, but Allah wanted to teach you the sanctity of blood." Then he said, "Take him to the foot of this mountain and stone him." So we did.  

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً فَحَمَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَلَمَّا غَشِيَهُ بِالرُّمْحِ قَالَ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَتَلَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَذْنَبْتُ فَاسْتَغْفَرْ لِي قَالَ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟» قَالَ حَمَلَتُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَلَمَّا غَشَيْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ قَالَ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ مُتَعَوِّذٌ فَقَتَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ «هَلَّا شَقَقْتَ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ حَتَّى يَسْتَبِينَ لَكَ؟» قَالَ وَيَسْتَبِينُ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «قَدْ قَالَ لَكَ بِلِسَانِهِ فَلَمْ تُصَدِّقْهُ عَلَى مَا قَالَ فِي قَلْبِهِ» قَالَ فَمَاتَ الرَّجُلُ فَدَفَنَّاهُ فَأَصْبَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَأَمَرْنَا غِلْمَانَنَا فَحَرَسُوهُ فَأَصْبَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَقُلْنَا غَفَلُوا فَحَرَسْنَاهُ فَأَصْبَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهَا تُقْبَلُ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مِنْهُ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَكُمْ تَعْظِيمَ الدَّمِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى سَفْحِ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ فَانْضِدُوا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ» فَفَعَلْنَا  

[Machine] Seek forgiveness for him, Allah will forgive you, as he used to love forgiveness. Then he said, after that, I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to pledge allegiance to him upon Islam, so he said, "And sincerity is for every Muslim."  

اسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ عَفَا اللهُ عَنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الْعَافِيَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِأُبَايِعَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ «وَالنُّصْحَ لِكُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are three things that are inevitable for my Ummah: envy, suspicion, and negative assumptions. A man asked, 'What can remove them, O Messenger of Allah, from someone who is afflicted by them?' He ﷺ replied, 'If you feel envious, seek forgiveness from Allah. If you have suspicion, do not investigate further. And if you have negative assumptions, divert your attention elsewhere.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثٌ لَازِمَاتٌ لِأُمَّتِي الطِّيَرَةُ وَالْحَسَدُ وَسُوءُ الظَّنِّ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا يُذْهِبُهُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مِمَّنْ هُوَ فِيهِ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا حَسَدْتَ فَاسْتَغْفَرِ اللهَ وَإِذَا ظَنَنْتَ فَلَا تُحَقِّقْ وَإِذَا تَطَيَّرْتَ فَامْضِ»  

"ثلاثٌ لَازمَاتٌ لأُمَّتِى: الطِّيَرَةُ، والْحَسَدُ، وَسُوءُ الظَّنِّ؛ قِيل: مَا يُذْهِبُهُنَّ يَا رسولَ اللَّه؟ قَال: إِذَا حَسَدْتَ فاسْتغْفِرِ اللَّه، وإِذا ظَنَنْتَ فلا تُحَقِّقْ، وَإذَا تَطَيَّرتَ فامْضِ".  

[Machine] "He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'When the adhan is called for you, or even before it is called for you, say the adhan in a melodious voice as much as Allah wills.' Then he called him and wiped his hand on his face, saying, 'O Allah, forgive Al-Talib and have mercy on him three times.'"  

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي فَقَالَ إِذَا أُذِنَ لَكَ أَوْ حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ لَكَ قَالَ فَغَبَّرَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ فَمَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ للِتَلِبٍ وَارْحَمْهُ ثَلَاثًا»  

"عَنْ غَالِبِ بْنِ حُجَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ حَدَّثَنِى مِلْقَامُ بْنُ التَّلبِ أَنّ التَّلبَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَارَسُولَ الله: اسْتَغْفِرْ لي إِذَا أُذِنَ لك، أَوْ حَتَّى يُؤْذَنَ لَكَ، قَالَ: فَغَبرَ مَا شَاءَ الله، ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ فَمَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلتَّلِبِ وارْحَمْهُ - ثَلاَثًا - ".  

[Machine] Ali ibn Abi Talib said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "The Quran slips away from my chest." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Shall I teach you some words that Allah will benefit you with and benefit others whom you teach?" Ali replied, "Yes, O father of my father and mother." The Prophet said, "Recite four units of prayer on the night of Friday. In the first unit, recite Al-Fatiha, Yaseen, and Al-Dukhan. In the second unit, recite Al-Fatiha and Ha-Mim Al-Sajdah. In the third unit, recite Al-Fatiha and Al-Muhammad. In the fourth unit, recite Al-Fatiha and Al-Mufassal. After you finish the Tashahhud, praise Allah, send blessings upon the prophets, and seek forgiveness for the believers. Then say, "O Allah, have mercy on me by abandoning sins forever as long as You keep me alive, and have mercy on me by not burdening me with what does not concern me, and bless me with good insight in what pleases You regarding myself. O Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the Possessor of greatness, honor, and glory that cannot be belittled, I ask You, O Allah, O Most Merciful, by Your greatness and the light of Your face, to make my heart committed to the love of Your book as You have taught me. And bless me to recite it in a manner that pleases You. And I ask You to illuminate my sight with the Quran, and loosen my tongue with it, and open my heart with it, and expand my chest with it, and use my body with it, and strengthen me for that, and assist me in it. For no one can assist me in doing good except You, and no one can bring success except You. So do that for me for three, five, or seven Fridays, and by the permission of Allah, you will memorize the Quran and the Hadith, and no believing person has ever made a mistake [in memorizing it]." After that, Ali came to the Prophet with seven groups and he informed him of his memorization of the Quran and Hadith. The Prophet ﷺ said, "A believer, by the Lord of the Kaaba, taught Abu Hassan. Abu Hassan was taught."  

عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْقُرْآنُ يَنْفَلِتُ مِنْ صَدْرِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ يَنْفَعُكَ اللهُ بِهِنَّ وَيَنْفَعُ مَنْ عَلَّمْتَهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي قَالَ صَلِّ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ تَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَيس وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِ فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَحم الدُّخَانِ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْم تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةِ وَفِي الرَّابِعَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَتَبَارَكَ الْمُفَصَّلِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ التَّشَهُّدِ فَاحْمَدِ اللهَ واثْنِ عَلَيْهِ وَصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّينَ وَاسْتَغْفَرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ قُلْ اللهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ الْمَعَاصِي أَبَدًا مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَارْحَمْنِي مِنْ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّفَ مَا يَعْنِينِي وَارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي اللهُمَّ بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْأكرامِ وَالْعِزَّةِ الَّتِي لَا تُرَامُ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللهُ يَا رَحْمَنُ بِجَلَالِكِ وَنُوِرِ وَجْهِكِ أَنْ تلتزمَ قَلْبِي حُبَّ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَارْزُقْنِي أَنْ أَتْلُوَهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُنَوِّرَ بِالْكِتَابِ بَصَرِي وتُطْلِقَ بِهِ لِسَانِي وتُفَرِّجَ بِهِ عَنْ قَلْبِي وتَشْرَحَ بِهِ صَدْرِي وتَسْتَعْمِلَ بِهِ بَدَنِي وتُقَوِّيني عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَتُعِينَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُعِينُنِي عَلَى الْخَيْرِ غَيْرُكَ وَلَا يُوَفِّقُ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَافْعَلْ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ جُمَعٍ أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا تَحْفَظُهُ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَمَا أَخْطَأَ مُؤْمِنًا قَطُّ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِسَبْعِ جُمَعٍ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِحِفْظِهِ الْقُرْآنَ وَالْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مُؤْمِنٌ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ عَلِّمْ أَبَا حَسَنٍ عَلِّمْ أَبَا حَسَنٍ»  

"يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ: أَفَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ يَنْفَعُكَ الله بِهِنَّ، وَيَنَفَعُ بِهِنَّ مَنْ عَلَّمْتَهُ، وَثَبَتَ مَا تَعَلَّمْتَ في صَدْرِكَ؟ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَقُومَ في ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرِ فَإِنَّهَا سَاعَةٌ مَشْهُودَةٌ، وَالدُّعَاءُ فِيهَا مُسْتَجَابٌ، وَقَدْ قَالَ أَخِى يَعْقُوبُ لِبَنيهِ: سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّى، يَقُولُ: حَتَّى تَأتِىَ لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعةِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَقُمْ في وَسَطِهَا، فإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَقُمْ فِي أَوَّلِهَا، فَصَلِّ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ تَقْرَأُ في الأُولَى بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَةِ يَس، وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَحَم الدُّخَانِ، وَفِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّالَثِةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَالم تَنْزِيل السَّجْدَةِ، وَفِي الرَّكْعةِ الرَّابِعَةِ بِفَاتِحَة الْكِتَابِ وَتَبَارَكَ الْمفَصَّلِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ التَّشَهُّدِ فَاحْمَدِ الله، وَأَحْسِنِ الثَّنَاءَ عَلَى الله، وَصَلِّ عَلَىَّ وَأَحْسِنْ، وَعَلَى سَائِرِ النَّبِيِّينَ، وَاسْتَغْفِرْ للمُؤمِنينَ وَالْمُؤمِنَاتِ ولإِخْوَانِكَ الَّذِينَ سَبَقُوكَ بِالإِيمَانِ، ثُمَّ قُلْ آخِرَ ذَلِكَ: اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِى بِتَرْكِ الْمَعَاصِى أَبَدًا مَا أَبْقَيتَنِى، وَارْحَمْنِى أَنْ أَتَكَلَّفَ مَا لاَ يَعْنِينِى، وَارْزُقْنِى حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّى، اللَّهُمَّ بَديِعَ السَّمَواتِ والأَرْضِ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَام وَالْعِزَّةِ الَّتِى لاَ تُرَامُ: أَسْأَلُكَ يَا الله يَا رَحْمَنُ بِجَلاَلِكَ وَنُورِ وَجْهِكَ: أَنْ تُلْزِمَ قَلْبِى حِفْظَ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي أَنْ أَتْلُوَهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِى يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّى، اللَّهُمَّ بَدِيعَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ ذَا الْجَلاَل وَالإِكْرَامِ وَالْعِزَّةِ الَّتِى لاَ تُرَامُ، أَسْأَلُكَ يَا الله يَا رَحْمَنُ بِجَلاَلِكَ وَنُورِ وَجْهِكَ: أَنْ تُلْزِمَ قَلْبِى حِفْظَ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتنِي، وَارْزُقنِي أَنْ أَتْلُوَهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّى، اللَّهُمَّ بَدِيعَ

[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ when Harmlah bin Zaid came to him and sat in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Harmlah said, "O Messenger of Allah, faith is here," pointing with his hand towards his tongue, "and hypocrisy is here," pointing with his hand to his chest, "and Allah is not mentioned except a little." The Prophet ﷺ remained silent. Harmlah repeated the statement to him, and Harmlah fell silent. The Prophet ﷺ took hold of the tip of Harmlah's tongue and said, "O Allah, make his tongue truthful and his heart grateful, and provide him with love for me and love for those who love me, and make his affair good." Harmlah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have hypocritical brothers. I used to be among them. Shall I not expose them to you?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "No, as long as they come to us as you came to us, we will seek forgiveness for them as we sought forgiveness for you. But whoever insists on his sin, Allah is more entitled to deal with him. And do not breach anyone's trust."  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْإِيمَانُ هَهُنَا وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ وَالنِّفَاقُ هَهُنَا وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَلَا يَذْكُرُ اللهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَسَكَتَ حَرْمَلَةُ فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِطَرَفِ لِسَانِ حَرْمَلَةَ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لَهُ لِسَانًا صَادِقًا وَقَلْبًا شَاكِرًا وَارْزُقْهُ حُبِّي وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّنِي وَصَيِّرْ أَمْرَهُ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ» فَقَالَ حَرْمَلَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي إِخْوَانًا مُنَافِقِينَ كُنْتُ فِيهِمْ رَأْسًا أَفَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا مَنْ جَاءَنَا كَمَا جِئْتَنَا اسْتَغْفَرْنَا لَهُ كَمَا اسْتَغْفَرْنَا لَكَ وَمَنْ أَصَرَّ عَلَى ذَنْبِهِ فَاللهُ أَوْلَى بِهِ وَلَا تَخْرِقْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ سَتْرًا»  

"عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كنتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَهُ حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ زَيْد الأَنْصَارِىُّ أَحَدُ بَنِى حَارِثَةَ، فَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله، الإيمَانُ هَاهُنَا وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى لِسَانه، وَالنِّفَاقُ هَاهُنَا وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ، وَلاَ يَذْكُرُ الله إِلاَّ قَلِيلًا، فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَرَدَّدَ ذَلِكَ حَرْمَلَةُ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ بِطَرفِ لِسَانِ حَرْمَلَةَ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لَهُ لِسَانًا صَادِقًا، وَقَلبًا شَاكِرًا، وَارْزُقْهُ حُبِّى وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّنِى، وصير أَمْرَهُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ حَرْمَلَةُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنَّ لِىَ إِخْوَانًا مُنَافِقِينَ كُنْتُ فِيهِمْ رَأسًا أَفَلاَ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : مَنْ جَاءَنَا كمَا جِئْتَنَا اسْتَغْفَرْنَا لَهُ كمَا اسْتَغْفَرنَا لَكَ، وَمَنْ أَصَرَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَالله أَوْلَى بِهِ".  

[Machine] Narrated Aisha: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to mention Khadijah and he did not feel tired of praising her and seeking forgiveness for her. So one day, I said to him: "Allah has replaced you with someone better than her." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and then the Verses about Aisha were revealed. He approached her and said: "How did you say that? By Allah, she believed in me when the people disbelieved in me, and she testified to my truthfulness when the people accused me of lying, and she bore me children when the people prevented me from them." So he stayed away from me for a month.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ خَدِيجَةَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْأَمُ مِنْ ثَنَاءٍ عَلَيْهَا وَالِاسْتِغْفَارِ لَهَا فَذَكَرَهَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَاحْتَمَلَتْنِي الْغَيْرَةُ إِلَى أَنْ قُلْتُ قَدْ عَوَّضَكَ اللهُ مِنْ كَبِيرَةِ السِّنِّ قَالَتْ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ غَضِبَ غَضَبًا سَقَطَ فِي جِلْدِي فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ إِنْ أَذْهَبْتَ عَنِّي غَضَبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ أَذْكُرْهَا بِسُوءٍ مَا بَقِيتُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الَّذِي قَدْ لَقِيتُ قَالَ «كَيْفَ قُلْتِ؟ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ آمَنَتْ بِي إِذْ كَفَرَ بِيَ النَّاسُ وَصَدَّقَتْنِي إِذْ كَذَّبَنِي النَّاسُ وَرُزِقَتْ مِنِّي الْوَلَدَ إِذْ حُرِمْتِيهِ مِنِّي» فَغَدَا بِهَا عَلَيَّ وَرَاحَ شَهْرًا  

[Machine] He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Stretch out your hand." The Prophet ﷺ said, "And if I command you to sever ties with your mother?" He said, "No." Then I returned to him and said, "Stretch out your hand, I pledge to you." He said, "Why?" I said, "For Islam." He said, "And if I command you to sever ties with your mother?" I said, "No." Then I returned to him a third time and he had a mother, and he was very kind to her. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "O Talhah, cutting off family ties is not part of our religion, but I wanted there to be no doubt in your religion." So he embraced Islam, and his Islam was good. Then he fell ill, and the Prophet ﷺ came to visit him and found him unconscious. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I think Talhah is unconscious due to what he did during the night. If he wakes up, send him to me." Talhah woke up in the middle of the night and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come to me?" They said, "Yes." So they informed him of what had happened, and he said, "Do not send for him at this hour, as he may be attacked by an animal or something may happen to him. But when you wake up, convey my greetings of peace to him and tell him to seek forgiveness for me." Then he passed away. When the Prophet ﷺ prayed the morning prayer, he asked about him, and they informed him of his death and what he had said. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his hand and said, "O Allah, accept him while he is laughing at You and You are laughing at him."  

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ قَالَ «وَإِنْ أَمَرْتُكَ بِقَطِيعَةِ وَالِدَتِكَ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ أُبَايِعْكَ قَالَ «عَلَامَ؟» قُلْتُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ قَالَ «وَإِنْ أَمَرْتُكَ بِقَطِيعَةِ وَالِدَتِكَ؟» قُلْتُ لَا ثُمَّ عُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ الثَّالِثَةَ وَكَانَ لَهُ وَالِدَةٌ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَبَرِّ النَّاسِ بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا طَلْحَةُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي دِينِنَا قَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ وَلَكِنْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ فِي دِينِكَ رِيبَةً» فَأَسْلَمَ فَحَسُنَ إِسْلَامُهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ مَرِضَ فَعَادَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَوَجَدَهُ مُغْمًى عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا أَظُنُّ طَلْحَةَ إِلَّا مَقْبُوضًا مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ فَإِنْ أَفَاقَ فَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَيَّ» فَأَفَاقَ طَلْحَةُ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ مَا عَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا تُرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ فَتَلْسَعَهُ دَابَّةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبُهُ شَيْءٌ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ فَأَقْرِئُوهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَقُولُوا لَهُ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرْ لِي ثُمَّ قُبِضَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَوْتِهِ وَمَا قَالَ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ الْقَهُ وَهُوَ يَضْحَكُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنْتَ تَضْحَكُ إِلَيْهِ»  

I heard Abu Umamah saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “The martyr at sea is like two martyrs on land, and the one who suffers seasickness is like one who gets drenched in his own blood on land. The time spent between one wave and the next is like a lifetime spent in obedience to Allah. Allah has appointed the Angel of Death to seize souls, except for the martyr at sea, for Allah Himself seizes their souls. He forgives the martyrs on land for all sins except debt, but (He forgives) the martyr at sea all his sins and his debt.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2778)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «شَهِيدُ الْبَحْرِ مِثْلُ شَهِيدَيِ الْبِرِّ وَالْمَائِدُ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْمُتَشَخِّطِ فِي دَمِهِ فِي الْبَرِّ وَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَوْجَتَيْنِ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَقَاطِعِ الدُّنْيَا فِي طَاعَةِ اللهِ وَإِنَّ اللهَ وَكَّلَ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ يَقْبِضُ الْأَرْوَاحَ إِلَّا شُهَدَاءَ الْبَحْرِ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَوَلَّى قَبْضَ أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَيَغْفِرُ لِشُهَدَاءِ الْبَرِّ الذُّنُوبَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لِشُهَدَاءِ الْبَحْرِ الذُّنُوبَ كُلَّهَا وَالدَّيْنَ»  

[Machine] I performed the farewell Hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I prayed the morning prayer with him in Mina. When he finished his prayer, he saw two men behind the people who had not prayed with them. He said, "Bring those two men to me." They were brought to him trembling. He asked them, "Did you not pray with us?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we had already prayed in our camps, and we thought that we would not be able to catch the prayer." He said, "Do not do that when you have already prayed in your camps, and then if you catch the prayer, pray it, and it will be a voluntary prayer for you." One of them said, "Ask Allah to forgive me, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "O Allah, forgive him."  

حَجَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ بِمِنًى فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ رَأَى رَجُلَيْنِ خَلْفَ النَّاسِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ عَلَيَّ بِالرَّجُلَيْنِ فَجِيءَ بِهِمَا تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ أَلَا صَلَّيْتُمَا مَعَنَا فَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا صَلَّيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا وَظَنَنَّا أَنَا لَا نُدْرِكُ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلَا إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمَا فِي رِحَالِكُمَا ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْتُمَا الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلِّيَا فَتَكُونُ لَكُمَا نَافِلَةً فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no remembrance better than La ilaha illa Allah (there is no god but Allah) and no supplication better than istighfar (seeking forgiveness)." Then the Messenger of Allah recited, "So know, [O Muhammad], that there is no deity except Allah and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «مَا مِنَ الذِّكْرِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَلَا مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ» ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ {فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ}  

[Machine] Abdullah read, "{Except for those who take a covenant with the Merciful}." He said, Allah says on the Day of Resurrection, "Whoever has a covenant with Me, let him arise." They said, "O Abu Abdullah, teach us." He said, "Say, 'O Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, I make a covenant with You in this worldly life that if You entrust me to myself, You will bring me closer to evil and distance me from good. And I have no trust except in Your mercy, so make it a covenant for me with You that You fulfill it for me on the Day of Resurrection, for You do not fail in Your promise.'" Zakariya ibn Yahya narrated from Al-Qasim, "Fearful, seeking refuge, seeking forgiveness, desiring to be close to You."  

قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ {إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ عَهْدًا} قَالَ يَقُولُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدِي عَهْدٌ فَلْيَقُمْ قَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَعَلِّمْنَا قَالَ قُولُوا اللهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ إِنِّي أعْهَدُ إِلَيْكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا أَنَّكَ إِنْ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي تُقَرِّبْنِي مِنَ الشَّرِّ وَتُبَاعِدْنِي مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَإِنِّي لَا أَثِقُ إِلَّا بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَاجْعَلْهُ لِي عِنْدَكَ عَهْدًا تُؤَدِّيهِ إِلَيَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ قَالَ وَزَادَ فِيهَا زَكَرِيَّا أَبُو يَحْيَى عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ «خَائِفًا مُسْتَجِيرًا مُسْتَغْفِرًا رَاغِبًا إِلَيْكَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah, indeed in the Book of Allah there are two signs: if a servant commits a sin and then recites them (the signs), Allah forgives him. And His saying: "And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allah?" And His saying: "And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of Allah will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنَّ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ لَآيَتَيْنِ مَا أَذْنَبَ عَبْدٌ ذَنْبًا فَقَرَأَهُمَا فَاسْتَغْفَرَ اللهَ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللهُ} وَقَوْلُهُ {وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ يَجِدِ اللهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا}  

[Machine] The man from the Children of Israel, when he sinned, he would wake up to find a written message at his door, stating, "You have sinned in such and such a way, and the atonement for your sin is such and such an action, so that he may increase in knowledge." Ibn Mas'ud said, "I do not like that Allah has given us this instead of this verse: 'Whoever does evil or wrongs himself, then seeks forgiveness from Allah, will find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.'"  

«كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ أَصْبَحَ عَلَى بَابِهِ مَكْتُوبٌ أَذْنَبْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَكَفَّارَتُهُ كَذَا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَتَكَاثَرَ أَنْ يَعْلَمَهُ» قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَعْطَانَا ذَلِكَ مَكَانَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ يَجِدِ اللهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا}  

[Machine] Abdullah replied, "Indeed, in the Qur'an there are two verses that if a servant commits a sin and then recites them and seeks forgiveness from Allah, he will be forgiven." They asked him about these verses, but he did not inform them. Alqamah and Al-Aswad said to each other, "Let us go with him." So they went to the house, took the Mushaf (book), and started reciting Surah Al-Baqarah. They said, "We did not see them." Then they continued reciting until they reached the verse, "And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness from Allah, he will find Allah forgiving and merciful." They said, "This is one." Then they continued reciting Surah Al-Imran until they reached the verse, "And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allah? And [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know." They said, "This is the other." Then they closed the book and went to Abdullah and asked, "Are these the two verses?" He replied, "Yes."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ لَآيَتَيْنِ مَا أَذْنَبَ عَبْدٌ ذَنْبًا ثُمَّ تَلَاهُمَا وَاسْتَغْفَرَ اللهَ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ» فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْهُمَا فَلَمْ يُخْبِرْهُمْ فَقَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ وَالْأَسْوَدُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ قُمْ بِنَا فَقَامَا إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ فَأَخَذَا الْمُصْحَفَ فَتَصَفَّحَا الْبَقَرَةَ فَقَالَا مَا رَأَيْنَاهُمَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَا فِي النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى انْتَهَيَا إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ يَجِدِ اللهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا} فَقَالَ هَذِهِ وَاحِدَةٌ ثُمَّ تَصَفَّحَا آلَ عِمْرَانَ حَتَّى انْتَهَيَا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلُوا} قَالَا هَذِهِ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ طَبَّقَا الْمُصْحَفَ ثُمَّ أَتَيَا عَبْدَ اللهِ فَقَالَا هُمَا هَاتَانِ الْآيَتَانِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] A man came to Abdullah, perfumed. When Abdullah saw him and smelled the scent, he said, "Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You from his evil." The man approached him and told him that he had committed adultery with his neighbor's slave girl. Abdullah advised him, "Seek forgiveness from Allah, turn back to Him, and conceal it. If you are able to free her, then free her."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ مُتَحَنِّطًا فَلَمَّا رَآهُ وَوَجَدَ رِيحَ الْحَنُوطِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ» قَالَ فَجَاءَهُ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ وَقَعَ عَلَى جَارِيَةِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَأَقِمْ عَلِيَّ الْحَدَّ قَالَ «اسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ وَتُبْ إِلَيْهِ وَاسْتُرْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَعْتِقَهَا فَأَعْتِقْهَا»  

[Machine] "Glory be to Allah and with His praise, I seek forgiveness from Allah and I repent to Him. It is written as it was said, then it is hung on the Throne and no sin committed by the one who said it will erase it until he meets Allah and it remains sealed as it was said."  

«سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ إِلَّا كُتِبَتْ كَمَا قَالَهَا ثُمَّ عُلِّقَتْ بِالْعَرْشِ وَلَا يَمْحُوهَا ذَنْبٌ عَمِلَهُ صَاحِبُهَا حَتَّى يَلْقَى اللهَ وَهِيَ مَخْتُومَةٌ كَمَا قَالَهَا»  

"مَن قَال: سُبْحَانَ الله وَبِحَمْدِهِ وَأَسْتَغْفرُ الله وأَتُوبُ إِلَيهِ، كُتِبَتْ كَمَا قَالهَا ثُمَّ عُلِّقَتْ بِالعَرْشِ، لا يَمْحُوهَا ذَنْبٌ عمِلَهُ صَاحِبُهَا حَتَّى يَلقَى الله وَهِيَ مَخْتُومَةٌ كَمَا قَالهَا".  

[Machine] He said, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in Mina or 'Arafat, and the Bedouins would come and when they saw his face, they would say: 'This is a blessed face.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' He said: 'O Allah, forgive us.' So, I turned around and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' He said: 'O Allah, forgive us.' Then he began to drool, so he wiped his mouth with his hand, then he wiped his sandal with it, because he disliked that it should touch anyone of those around him. Then he said: 'O people, what day is this? For indeed your blood and your wealth are sacred to you, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this country of yours. O Allah, have I conveyed the message?' Let the one who is present convey it to the one who is absent.'" He commanded charity (sadaqah) and said: "Give charity, for I do not know if you will see me after this day of mine. He also distributed some (money) to the people of Yemen, so that they would not have to collect it. And one portion for the people of Iraq, or he said: 'for the people of the East.' A man asked him about Al-'Atirah, and he said: 'Whoever wants, may leave something behind, and whoever wants, may take it back. And whoever wants, may share it, and whoever wants, may not share it.' And he said: 'Its sacrifice should be from these fingers of his right hand,' and he poured them on his middle finger and index finger and he curled the tip a little."
