[Machine] His grandfather, Sa'id ibn Zaid, asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about his father, Zaid. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, my father, Zaid ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl, was as you have seen him and as he reached you. If he had lived to see you, he would have believed in you. So, ask forgiveness for him." The Messenger of Allah said, "Yes, I will ask forgiveness for him." He then asked forgiveness for him and said, "Verily, he will come on the Day of Resurrection as a single nation." It is mentioned that he was seeking the truth and he died while in his quest. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about him in his summary.  

أَنَّ جَدَّهُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَبِيهِ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ كَانَ كَمَا رَأَيْتَ وَكَمَا بَلَغَكَ وَلَوْ أَدْرَكَكَ لَآمَنَ بِكَ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ وَقَالَ «فَإِنَّهُ يَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً» فَكَانَ فِيمَا ذَكَرُوا يَطْلُبُ الدِّينَ وَمَاتَ وَهُوَ فِي طَلَبِهِ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] 'Omar ibn al-Khattab and Sa'id ibn Zaid said, "O Messenger of Allah, would you seek forgiveness for Zaid?" He replied, "Yes." So they sought forgiveness for him. He also said, "Indeed, he will be raised as a single nation."  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ قَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَسْتَغْفِرُ لِزَيْدٍ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَاسْتَغْفِرَا لَهُ وَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً»  

" عَنْ ابنِ عُمَر أَنَّ عمرو بْنَ سَعِيد بْنِ زَيْدٍ سألا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ عَنْ زيدِ بِن عمرو بن نفيل فَقالاَ: أَنَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ فاستغفروا فإِنَّهُ يبعَثُ يَومَ القيَامةِ أمةً وَحْدَهُ ".  

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and said to him, 'Seek forgiveness for me.' He replied, 'May Allah forgive you.' I said to him, 'Is this once or twice?' A man asked him, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about debts and loans?' The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) replied, 'Whoever wishes to keep his debts can keep them, and whoever wishes to cancel them can cancel them. As for the sheep, it is the sacrifice for it.'"  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ «غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ» قُلْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي الْعَتَائِرِ وَالْفَرَائِعِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ شَاءَ عَتَرَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يَعْتِرْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَرَّعَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ لَمْ يُفَرِّعُ وَفِي الشَّاةِ أُضْحِيَّتُهَا»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought forgiveness for me twenty-five times on the night of Aqaba."  

«اسْتَغْفَرَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ خَمْسَةً وَعِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , sought forgiveness for me twenty-five times on the night of the camel."  

«اسْتَغْفَرَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ مُرَّةً لَيْلَةَ الْبَعِيرِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to visit the graves, and we went out with him. He commanded us to sit, and we sat. Then he passed by the graves until he reached a particular grave and he stood there for a long time, engaged in private conversation. Then the crying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intensified, and we cried along with him. He then turned to us, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab met him and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is it that makes you cry, when you have made us cry and startled us?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat with us and said, "Does my crying alarm you?" We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "The grave that you saw me speaking to is the grave of my mother, Aminah bint Wahb. I sought permission from my Lord to visit her grave, and He granted me permission. So I sought His permission to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not grant me permission. And the verse was revealed upon me: 'It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's forgiveness for the Mushrikun (polytheists).' (Quran 9:113) Until the end of the verse: 'And the request of forgiveness of Ibrahim (Abraham) for his father except for a promise he had made to him.' (Quran 9:114) Then, at that moment, I was seized with something that a child would be seized with from his father's compassion. And that is what made me cry." This hadith was narrated by Muslim through the narration of Yazid ibn Kaysan from Abu Hazim who heard it from Abu Hurairah, summarized by Ayyub bin Hani' from Ibn Ma'in.  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ فِي الْمَقَابِرِ وَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ فَأَمَرَنَا فَجَلَسْنَا ثُمَّ تَخَطَّا الْقُبُورَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى قَبْرٍ مِنْهَا فَنَاجَاهُ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَ نَحِيبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَاكِيًا فَبَكَيْنَا لِبُكَائِهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَتَلَقَّاهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الَّذِي أَبْكَاكَ فَقَدْ أَبْكَانَا وَأَفْزَعَنَا فَجَاءَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «أَفْزَعَكُمْ بُكَائِي؟» فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْقَبْرَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُنَاجِي فِيهِ قَبْرُ أُمِّي آمِنَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ وَإِنِّي اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي زِيَارَتِهَا فَأَذِنَ لِي فِيهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُهُ فِي الِاسْتِغْفَارِ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي فِيهِ وَنَزَلَ عَلَيَّ {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ} [التوبة 113] حَتَّى خَتَمَ الْآيَةَ {وَمَا كَانَ اسْتِغْفَارُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ إِلَّا عَنْ مَوْعِدَةٍ وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُ} [التوبة 114] فَأَخَذَنِي مَا يَأْخُذُ الْوَلَدَ لِوَالِدِهِ مِنَ الرِّقَةِ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي أَبْكَانِي «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِهِمَا وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ هَكَذَا بِهَذِهِ السِّيَاقَةِ» إِنَّمَا أَخْرَجَ مُسْلِمٌ حَدِيثَ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِيهِ مُخْتَصَرًا أيوب بن هانىء ضعفه ابن معين  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out one day and we went out with him until we reached the graveyards. He commanded us and we sat down. Then he stepped over the graves until he reached a grave and sat beside it. He engaged in a long conversation with it and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned, crying. We cried because of the crying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then he approached us and Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) received him and said, "What has made you cry, O Messenger of Allah, for you have made us cry and caused us to be frightened?" He held Umar's hand and approached us and said, "Did my crying frighten you?" We said, "Yes." He said, "I saw the grave that you saw me conversing with, it is the grave of Umm Ammarah bint Wahb. I asked my Lord to seek forgiveness for her, but He did not permit me. And I was revealed the verse {It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to seek forgiveness for the Mushrikun} [Quran 9:113]. Then, I was given what a child takes from the back of his father, and that is what made me cry. Surely, I had prevented you from visiting the graves, but you should visit them, for they remind one of the Hereafter and make one disinterested in this world."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْمَقَابِرِ فَأَمَرَنَا فَجَلَسْنَا ثُمَّ تَخَطَّى الْقُبُورَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى قَبْرٍ مِنْهَا فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَاجَاهُ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَاكِيًا فَبَكَيْنَا لِبُكَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَتَلَقَّاهُ عُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ مَا الَّذِي أَبْكَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ أَبْكَيْتَنَا وَأَفْزَعْتَنَا؟ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عُمَرَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ «أَفْزَعَكُمْ بُكَائِي؟ » قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْقَبْرَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُنَاجِي قَبْرُ آمِنَةَ بِنْتِ وَهْبٍ وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي الِاسْتِغْفَارَ لَهَا فَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لِي فَنَزَلَ عَلَيَّ {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ} فَأَخَذَنِي مَا يَأْخُذُ الْوَلَدُ لِلْوَالِدِ مِنَ الرِّقَةِ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي أَبْكَانِي أَلَا وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَزُورُوهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُزَهِّدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَتُرَغِّبُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ»  

[Machine] We used to inform the Prophet ﷺ whenever one of us passed away, and he would attend the deceased and seek forgiveness for him. He would stay with him until he was buried, and sometimes this process would take a long time for the Prophet ﷺ . When we feared that this might be burdensome for him, some of the people said to others, "If we don't inform the Prophet ﷺ about someone's death until he is already buried, then he wouldn't have to go through any difficulty or delay." So we started doing that and would inform him about the deceased after they were buried, and he would come and offer prayers for them. Sometimes he would come immediately, and sometimes he would delay until the deceased was buried. We were doing this at that time, and then we said, "If the Prophet ﷺ himself attended our funeral and prayed for us at our homes, it would be even better." So we did that, and this practice continues till today.  

قَدْ كُنَّا مُقَدَّمَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا حُضِرَ مِنَّا الْمَيِّتُ آذَنَّا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَحَضَرَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا قُبِضَ انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ وَرُبَّمَا طَالَ حَبْسُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمَّا خَشِينَا مَشَقَّةَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لِبَعْضٍ لَوْ كُنَّا لَا نُؤْذِنُ النَّبِيَّ بِأَحَدٍ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ فَإِذَا قُبِضَ آذَنَّاهُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ مَشَقَّةٌ وَلَا حَبْسٌ فَفَعَلْنَا ذَلِكَ وَكُنَّا نُؤْذِنُهُ بِالْمَيِّتِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ فَيَأْتِيهِ فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ فَرُبَّمَا انْصَرَفَ وَرُبَّمَا مَكَثَ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ الْمَيِّتُ فَكُنَّا عَلَى ذَلِكَ حِينًا ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لَوْ لَمْ يَشْخَصِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَحَمَلْنَا جَنَازَتَنَا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِهِ لَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَوْفَقَ بِهِ فَفَعَلْنَا فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ  

[Machine] We used to be the ones who would inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a deceased person was brought before him. He would then come and seek forgiveness for the deceased until they were buried. Once the burial was complete, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and those with him would depart. Sometimes, the delay in the departure of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was prolonged. When we became concerned about the burden of waiting, some people said to each other, "By Allah, if we do not inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about someone's death until after the burial, it will not cause any hardship or inconvenience for him." They then proceeded to act upon this and began to inform him only after the burial had taken place. Thereafter, he would come, offer the prayer for the deceased, and seek forgiveness for them. Sometimes he would depart immediately afterwards, and sometimes he would stay until the deceased was buried." The narrator then added, "We continued in this manner for some time. Then we said, 'By Allah, if we do not inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and carry our deceased to him until he offers the funeral prayer at their graveside, it would be even more compassionate and easier for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .' We then began to do this. And this practice has continued to this day."  

«كُنَّا مَقْدَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا حُضِرَ الْمَيِّتُ آذَنَّاهُ فَحَضَرَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ فَإِذَا قُبِضَ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ فَرُبَّمَا طَالَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَبْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا خَشِينَا مَشَقَّةَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لِبَعْضٍ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ كُنَّا لَا نُؤْذِنُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَحَدٍ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ فَإِذَا قُبِضَ آذَنَّاهُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي ذَلِكَ مَشَقَّةٌ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا حَبْسٌ قَالَ فَفَعَلْنَا فَكُنَّا لَا نُؤْذِنُهُ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ فَيَأْتِيهِ فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ فَرُبَّمَا انْصَرَفَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَرُبَّمَا مَكَثَ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ الْمَيِّتُ» قَالَ «وَكُنَّا عَلَى ذَلِكَ حِينًا ثُمَّ قُلْنَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّا لَا نُحْضِرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحَمَلْنَا إِلَيْهِ جَنَائِزَ مَوْتَانَا حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا عِنْدَ بَيْتِهِ لَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَرْفَقَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَيْسَرَ عَلَيْهِ فَفَعَلْنَا ذَلِكَ فَكَانَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ»  

[Machine] We used to inform the Prophet (PBUH) whenever one of us passed away, and he would come and seek forgiveness for the deceased until the burial was done. Sometimes he would sit along with us until the burial, and other times he would leave before that. It was burdensome for him, so some people suggested that we should not inform the Prophet (PBUH) until after the burial, so that he wouldn't have to go through the hardship. We followed their suggestion and informed him after the burial, and he would come and pray for the deceased. Sometimes he would leave immediately, and other times he would stay until the burial was done. We continued to do this until today.  

كُنَّا مَقْدِمَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذَا حَضَرَ مِنَّا الْمَيِّتُ آذَنَّا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَحَضَرَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا قُبِضَ انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ وَرُبَّمَا قَعَدَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ وَرُبَّمَا طَالَ حَبْسُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا خَشِينَا مَشَقَّةَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لِبَعْضٍ لَوْ كُنَّا لَا نُؤْذِنُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِأَحَدٍ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ فَإِذَا قُبِضَ آذَنَّاهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ مَشَقَّةٌ وَلَا حَبْسٌ فَفَعَلْنَا ذَلِكَ فَكُنَّا نُؤْذِنُهُ بِالْمَيِّتِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ فَيَأْتِيَهُ وَيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ وَرُبَّمَا انْصَرَفَ وَرُبَّمَا مَكَثَ حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ الْمَيِّتُ فَكُنَّا عَلَى ذَلِكَ حِينًا ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لَوْ لَمْ نُشْخِصِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَحَمَلْنَا جِنَازَتَنَا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِهِ لَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَرْفَقَ بِهِ فَفَعَلْنَا فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on one day while he was with his wife Umm Salamah: "I desire some date palm (type of dates) called 'ajwah'. So she sent two handfuls of dates to a man from the Ansar (helpers of the Prophet). He brought back two handfuls of 'ajwah dates instead. She presented them to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when he saw them, he was pleased. He took one date, then another, and then he held them and said, 'Where did you get these?' Umm Salamah said, 'I sent two handfuls of dates to a man from the Ansar, and he brought back two handfuls of these 'ajwah dates.' This is one of the handfuls.' He held the dates out before him and said, 'Return it; I have no need for this. Dates should be exchanged for dates, barley for barley, wheat for wheat, gold for gold, silver for silver, hand to hand, like for like, equal for equal. If there is more, it is usury.' Then he said, 'This is how it should be weighed and measured.' Ibn Abbas said, 'May Allah reward you, O Abu Sa'id, with Paradise, for you reminded me of something I had forgotten. I seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him.' After that, he disliked it (usury), and prohibited it more strongly."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ زَوْجَتِهِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ إِنِّي لَأَشْتَهِي تَمْرَ عَجْوَةٍ فَبَعَثَتْ صَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَاءَ بَدَلَ صَاعَيْنِ صَاعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَجْوَةٍ فَقَامَتْ فَقَدَّمَتْهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَعْجَبَهُ فَتَنَاوَلَ تَمْرَةً ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَ فَقَالَ «مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكُمْ هَذَا؟» فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ بَعَثْتُ صَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَتَانَا بَدَلَ صَاعَيْنِ هَذَا الصَّاعُ الْوَاحِدُ وَهَا هُوَ كُلْ فَأَلْقَى التَّمْرَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ «رُدُّوهُ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ التَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةُ بِالْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ يَدًا بِيَدٍ عَيْنًا بِعَيْنٍ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ فَمَنْ زَادَ فَهُوَ رِبًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «كَذَلِكَ مَا يُكَالُ وَيُوزَنُ أَيْضًا» فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِنَّكَ ذَكَّرْتَنِي أَمْرًا كُنْتُ نَسِيتُهُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ فَكَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَشَدَّ النَّهْيِ  

[Machine] One day, while he was with his wife Umm Salama, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am craving for a date called 'Ajwah.' Someone has sent two sa' (a measurement) of old dates to the house of a man from the Ansar. So I have been brought a substitute of one sa' of 'Ajwah' dates." Umm Salama presented it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he liked it. He ate one date and then held it in his hand, saying, "Where did you get this from?" She replied, "I sent two sa' of old dates to the house of so-and-so, and we exchanged them for this one sa' of 'Ajwah' dates." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ threw the date from his hand and said, "Return it, return it. I have no need for it. Dates are to be exchanged for dates, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, gold for gold, and silver for silver, in equal amounts and hand to hand. There should be no increase or decrease, so whoever gives or takes more has engaged in riba. And whatever is measured or weighed, Ibn 'Abbas said, "O Abu Sa'id, you reminded me of something I had forgotten. I seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him." Afterward, he strongly prohibited engaging in riba.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ زَوْجَتِهِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ إِنِّي أَشْتَهِي تَمْرَ عَجْوَةٍ وَإِنَّهَا بَعَثَتْ بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَتِيقٍ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأُتِيَتْ بَدَلَهُمَا بِصَاعٍ مِنْ عَجْوَةٍ فَقَدَّمَتْهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْجَبَهُ فَتَنَاوَلَ تَمْرَةً ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكُمْ هَذَا؟ قَالَتْ بَعَثْتُ بِصَاعَيْنِ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَتِيقٍ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ فُلَانٍ فَأَتَيْنَا بَدَلَهُمَا مِنْ هَذَا الصَّاعِ الْوَاحِدِ فَأَلْقَى التَّمْرَةَ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَقَالَ رُدُّوهُ رُدُّوهُ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ التَّمْرُ بِالتَّمْرِ وَالْحِنْطَةُ بِالْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرُ بِالشَّعِيرِ وَالذَّهَبُ بِالذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةُ بِالْفِضَّةِ يَدًا بِيَدٍ مِثْلًا بِمِثْلٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ زِيَادَةٌ وَلَا نُقْصَانٌ فَمَنْ زَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ فَقَدْ أَرْبَى وَكُلُّ مَا يُكَالُ أَوْ يُوزَنُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ذَكَّرْتَنِي يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ أَمْرًا أُنْسِيتُهُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ يَنْهَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَشَدَّ النَّهْيِ  

[Machine] We used to inform the Prophet, peace be upon him, when one of us passed away. The Prophet, peace be upon him, would then come and pray for the deceased. Sometimes, he and the people accompanying him would stay until the body was buried. This continued for some time and caused hardship to the Prophet, peace be upon him. So, some people said to each other, "If we do not inform the Prophet, peace be upon him, until the body is buried, there will be no hardship or delay." Therefore, we started informing him after the burial so that he would come and pray for the deceased.  

كُنَّا مُقَدَّمَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذَا حُضِرَ مِنَّا الْمَيِّتُ آذَنَّا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَحَضَرَهُ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا قَدِمْنَا انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ وَرُبَّمَا قَعَدُوا حَتَّى يُدْفَنَ وَرُبَّمَا طَالَ حَبْسُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا خَشِينَا مَشَقَّةَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لِبَعْضٍ لَوْ كُنَّا لَا نُؤْذِنُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِأَحَدٍ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ فَإِذَا قُبِضَ آذَنَّاهُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي ذَلِكَ مَشَقَّةٌ وَلَا حَبْسٌ فَكُنَّا نُؤْذِنُهُ بِالْمَيِّتِ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ فَيَأْتِيهِ فَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] A daughter of his died, so he followed her on a mule, walking behind the funeral procession, while women were mourning her. He said, "Let them mourn or not mourn. Verily, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade mourning." And he said, "One of you should take off her outer garment as she wishes, then he offered the funeral prayer over her, and he performed four Takbirs (saying Allahu Akbar, meaning Allah is the Greatest) over her grave, then he stood after the fourth Takbir for as long as it takes to say the distance between the two Takbirs, seeking forgiveness for her and supplicating. It was narrated, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do it like this.'"  

تُوُفِّيَتْ بِنْتٌ لَهُ فَتَبِعَهَا عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ يَمْشِي خَلْفَ الْجِنَازَةِ وَنِسَاءٌ يَرْثِينَهَا فَقَالَ يَرْثِينَ أَوْ لَا يَرْثِينَ «فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الْمَرَاثِي» وَلْتُفِضْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مِنْ عَبْرَتِهَا مَا شَاءَتْ ثُمَّ «صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهَا أَرْبَعًا ثُمَّ قَامَ بَعْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ قَدْرَ مَا بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرَتَيْنِ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهَا وَيَدْعُو» وَقَالَ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ هَكَذَا»  

[Machine] His daughter died, so he came out in her funeral on a bier behind the funeral procession. The women began to lament, so Abdullah ibn Abu Awfa said: "Do not lament, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade mourning, but rather let one of you cry over her own loss as she wishes." Then he prayed over her and raised his hands in supplication, as far as the distance between the two prostrations, seeking forgiveness for her and making du'a. Then he said: "This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do."  

مَاتَتِ ابْنَةٌ لَهُ فَخَرَجَ فِي جِنَازَتِهَا عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ خَلْفَ الْجِنَازَةِ فَجَعَلَ النِّسَاءُ يَرْثِينَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى لَا تَرْثِينَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الْمَرَاثِي وَلَكِنْ لِتُفِضْ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مِنْ عَبْرَتِهَا مَا شَاءَتْ قَالَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا فَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا فَقَامَ بَعْدَ التَّكْبِيرَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ بِقَدْرِ مَا بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرَتَيْنِ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهَا وَيَدْعُو ثُمَّ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ هَكَذَا  

[Machine] I heard Uthman ibn Affan say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a funeral at a grave, and the person accompanying the deceased was being buried. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Seek forgiveness for your brother and ask Allah to grant him steadfastness, for he is now being questioned."  

سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يَقُولُ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِجِنَازَةٍ عِنْدَ قَبْرٍ وَصَاحِبُهُ يُدْفَنُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِأَخِيكُمْ وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ لَهُ التَّثْبِيتَ فَإِنَّهُ الْآنَ يُسْأَلُ»  

[Machine] In Surah An-Nisa, there are five verses that please me, as they grant me the world and everything in it. "Indeed, Allah does not wrong [anyone] even the weight of an atom, and if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward." (4:40) "If you avoid the major sins which you have been forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise]." (4:31) "Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills." (4:48) "And if, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you, [O Muhammad], and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Accepting of repentance and Merciful." "And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of Allah will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful." (4:110) Abdullah said, "It pleases me that I receive the world and everything in it through these verses." It is an authentic chain, but if Abdullah heard it from his father, then there is some disagreement on that. (Sahih)  

إِنَّ فِي سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ لِخَمْسَ آيَاتٍ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِيَ بِهَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا {إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِنْ تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِنْ لَدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [النساء 40] {إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُمْ مُدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا} [النساء 31] {إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ} [النساء 48] {وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَحِيمًا} {وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ يَجِدِ اللَّهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا} [النساء 110] قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِيَ بِهَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا «هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ إِنْ كَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ سَمِعَ مِنَ أَبِيهِ فَقَدِ اخْتُلِفَ فِي ذَلِكَ» صحيح  

[Machine] "Abdullah, surely in women there are five signs that please me in this world and what is in it. And I have known that the scholars, when they come across these signs, recognize them: 'If you refrain from major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance.' And His saying, 'Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.' And 'Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.' And 'If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Accepting of repentance and Merciful.' And 'And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of Allah will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful.'"

عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنَّ فِي النِّسَاءِ لَخَمْسُ آيَاتٍ مَا يَسُرُّنِي بِهِنَّ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الْعُلَمَاءَ إِذَا مَرُّوا بِهَا يَعْرِفُونَهَا {إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُمْ مَدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا} وَقَوْلُهُ {إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِنْ تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِنْ لَدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} وَ {إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ} {وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللهَ تَوَّابًا رَحِيمًا} {وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ يَجِدِ اللهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا}  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah have mercy on you and forgive you, O uncle. I will continue to seek forgiveness for you until Allah forbids me from doing so." So the Muslims began seeking forgiveness for their deceased pagans. Then Allah Almighty revealed, "It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire." [Quran 9:113]  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ وَغَفَرَ لَكَ يَا عَمُّ وَلَا أَزَالُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكَ حَتَّى يَنْهَانِيَ اللَّهُ ﷻ» فَأَخَذَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَوْتَاهُمُ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ} [التوبة 113]  

[Machine] "If we inform you of a narration, we bring to you its confirmation in the Book of Allah. Verily, when the servant says, 'Subhan Allah', 'Alhamdulillah', 'La ilaha illa Allah', 'Allahu Akbar', and 'Tabarak Allah', a angel takes hold of them, gathers them under his wing, and ascends with them until he does not pass by any gathering of angels except that they seek forgiveness for the one who said them until he is taken to the presence of the Most Merciful. Then Abdullah (the Prophet) recited, 'To Him ascends good speech, and righteous work raises it' (35:10)."  

إِذَا حَدَّثْنَاكُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ أَتَيْنَاكُمْ بِتَصْدِيقِ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ قَبَضَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مَلَكٌ فَضَمَّهُنَّ تَحْتَ جَنَاحِهِ وَصَعِدَ بِهِنَّ لَا يَمُرُّ بِهِنَّ عَلَى جَمْعٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِلَّا اسْتَغْفَرُوا لِقَائِلِهِنَّ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ بِهِنَّ وَجْهَ الرَّحْمَنِ ثُمَّ تَلَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ {إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعْهُ} [فاطر 10]  

[Machine] Abdullah used to say: "When I inform you of a hadith, I bring to you its confirmation from the Book of Allah. Indeed, when a Muslim servant says, 'Alhamdulillah' (praise be to Allah), 'SubhanAllah' (glory be to Allah), 'La ilaha illa Allah' (there is no god but Allah), 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the greatest), and 'TabarakAllah' (blessed be Allah), an angel takes hold of these words and places them under his wing. Then, he ascends with them, and whenever a group of angels pass by, they seek forgiveness for the one who said these words until he presents them to the Countenance of the Most Merciful. Then, Abdullah recited, 'To Him ascends the good word, and the righteous deed raises it.'"  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ أَتَيْتُكُمْ بِتَصْدِيقِ ذَلِكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَتَبَارَكَ اللهُ قَبَضَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مَلَكٌ فَجَعَلَهُنَّ تَحْتَ جَنَاحِهِ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ بِهِنَّ فَلَا يَمُرُّ عَلَى جَمْعٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِلَّا اسْتَغْفَرُوا لِقَائِلِهِنَّ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ بِهِنَّ وَجْهَ الرَّحْمَنِ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ {إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعْهُ}  

[Machine] "To seek inspiration from the forgiveness of Ibrahim for his father, so that they may seek forgiveness for the polytheists. And His saying, "Our Lord, do not make us a trial for those who disbelieve," [Al-Mumtahanah 5], "Do not punish us with their hands, nor with a punishment from You," (Lord) they say, "If these (believers) were upon the truth, they would not have been afflicted."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوِّي وَعَدُوَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ تُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ} [الممتحنة 1] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ} [الممتحنة 3] نَزَلَ فِي مُكَاتَبَةِ حَاطِبِ بْنِ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ إِلَى كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ يُحَذِّرُونَهُمْ وَقَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {إِلَّا قَوْلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ} [الممتحنة 4] نُهُوا أَنْ يَتَأَسَّوْا بِاسْتِغْفَارِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِأَبِيهِ فَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَقَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا} [الممتحنة 5] لَا تُعَذِّبْنَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَلَا بِعَذَابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِكِ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوْ كَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى الْحَقِّ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ  

[Machine] "In the making of the idols of Ibrahim and those with him, except for seeking forgiveness for his father while he was still a polytheist."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِيهِمْ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ} [الممتحنة 6] قَالَ «فِي صُنْعِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ إِلَّا فِي اسْتِغْفَارِهِ لِأَبِيهِ وَهُوَ مُشْرِكٌ»  

[Machine] About Aisha, Allah says in [Surah Al-Fath 29]: "so that He might infuriate the disbelievers with them." The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We were commanded to seek forgiveness for them, but they cursed them."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ {لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَ} [الفتح 29] قَالَتْ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُمِرُوا بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ لَهُمْ فَسَبُّوهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, forgive the pilgrim and those for whom the pilgrim seeks forgiveness."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْحَاجِّ وَلِمَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ الْحَاجُّ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "O Allah, forgive the pilgrim and the one who seeks forgiveness for the pilgrim."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْحَاجِّ وَلِمَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ الْحَاجُّ  

"اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلحَاجِّ، وَلِمنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ الحَاجّ ".  

"عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلحَاجِّ وَلِمَنْ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ الحاجُّ".  

[Machine] While they were traveling, the group stopped at dawn. Shaddad said, "Let's take a break here and have some fun." Then he said, "I seek forgiveness from Allah for speaking a word since I embraced Islam, without pondering over it and weighing it against my other words. This is not right." Muhammad ﷺ said, "O Shaddad, if you see people hoarding gold and silver, then hoard these words: 'O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in matters, determination in righteousness, gratitude for Your blessings, excellence in worship, a sound heart, a truthful tongue, and upright character. I seek Your forgiveness for what You know, and I ask You for the best of what You know. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what You know, for You are the Knower of the unseen."

[Machine] 'Akrama ibn Abi Jahl, when I reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I said, "O Muhammad, this person informed me that you have granted me safety." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You are indeed safe." So, I said, "I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partner, and that you are the servant and Messenger of Allah. You are the most righteous, truthful, and faithful among the people." 'Akrama said, "I said this while bowing my head in humility. Then, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me from every enmity that I have shown towards anyone, or any assembly in which I have exhibited polytheism.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Allah, forgive 'Akrama for every enmity that he has shown towards me or any assembly he has joined, seeking to oppose Your path.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, guide me to the best of what you know so that I may learn it.' He said, 'Say, "I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. I strive in His cause." Then 'Akrama said, 'By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, not a single coin did I leave that I would have spent in opposing the path of Allah, except that I spent double of it in the way of Allah. And I did not engage in any battle in opposition to the path of Allah, except that I received double of it in the way of Allah. Then I endeavored in fighting until I was martyred on the day of Ajnadeen during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had used me during his last pilgrimage to verify the weights used on the scales. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, and on that day, 'Akrama died with great honor.'

[Machine] "When the first turmoil occurred, it troubled me, so I said, "O Allah, show me something from the matters of truth that I can hold onto." He said, "I showed you the worldly life and the Hereafter and between them is a wall that is not very high." And suddenly, I found myself on a hill and I said, "If I hold onto this hill, I might fall into the hands of my enemies, who are more courageous than me and will inform me." He said, "So I descended onto a piece of land with trees, and there was a group of people sitting. I asked them, "Are you the martyrs?" They replied, "No, we are the angels." I said, "Then where are the martyrs?" They said, "Go forward to the highest ranks, to Muhammad ﷺ ." So I went forward and suddenly, I found myself at a stage. Allah knows best what it represented, whether in terms of expansion or beauty. And then I found myself with Muhammad ﷺ and Ibrahim ﷺ . He (Muhammad) said to Ibrahim, "Seek forgiveness for my Ummah." But Ibrahim said to him, "You don't know what they will do after you. They will shed their blood and kill their leaders. Will they not do as my dear Khalil (Prophet Ibrahim's friend) did? (referring to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh). I said, "Show me, then I was shown Sa'd, and I saw with whom he was. So I went to him and told him about the dream, and he was very happy with it and said, "Woe to the one who does not have Ibrahim as his Khalil!" I asked, "Which of the two groups are you with?" He said, "I am not with either of them." I asked, "Then how do you command me?" He said, "Do you have a walking stick?" I said, "No." He said, "Then buy a walking stick and isolate yourself with it until the matter becomes clear."

[Machine] "When the first trials came upon me, they appeared confusing to me, so I said, 'O Allah, show me the truth and guide me to cling onto it.' Then I saw in a vision what a sleeping person sees, both the worldly life and the hereafter, with a wall that was not tall between them. So I said, 'If only I could climb this wall to see my brave martyrs and ask them.' They replied, 'We are the angels.' I asked, 'Where are the martyrs?' They replied, 'Go up the steps.' So I ascended a step, and Allah knows best about its beauty and vastness. Then I saw Muhammad ﷺ and Ibrahim ﷺ , who said to Ibrahim, 'Seek forgiveness for my ummah,' and Ibrahim replied, 'You do not know what they have done after you, how they spilled their own blood and killed their imam. Why don't they do as Sa'd (ibn Abi Waqqas) has done?' So I said, 'By Allah, I have seen a dream that Allah may benefit me with it. I will go and see Sa'd and be with him.' So I went to Sa'd and narrated the story to him. He said, 'How delighted I am with this! Indeed, those who are not like Ibrahim have failed.' I asked, 'Which of the two groups are you with?' He replied, 'I am not with either of them.' I asked, 'What do you command me?' He said, 'Do you have any sheep?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Then buy a sheep and stay with it until your situation becomes clear."

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Allah does not find a servant who regrets a sin except that He forgives him before he seeks forgiveness from Him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا عَلِمَ اللَّهُ مِنْ عَبْدٍ نَدَامَةً عَلَى ذَنْبٍ إِلَّا غَفَرَ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَهُ مِنْهُ»  

"مَا عَلِمَ اللهُ تَعَالى مِن عَبْدٍ نَدامَةً عَلَى ذَنب إلا غَفَرَ لَهُ قَبْلَ أن يَسْتَغفِرهُ مِنهُ".  

[Machine] "A young man from the children of the immigrants came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was busy, so he repeated this three times. When the young man saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was not seeking forgiveness for him, he said three times before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : 'O Allah, forgive me. O Allah, forgive me. O Allah, forgive me, for indeed your Messenger has not sought forgiveness for me.' After the young man left, Gabriel ﷺ came down to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, would you not seek forgiveness for the young man? Verily, Allah has forgiven him. Confirm it to him until he knows that Allah has forgiven him, and tell him to seek forgiveness for you.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ followed him until he caught up with him, and he said, 'O young man, indeed Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, has forgiven you, so seek forgiveness for me.' Then the young man said, 'O Allah, I seek forgiveness for you, and I seek forgiveness for your Messenger and Prophet, just as You have forgiven me. Verily, You are the Most Forgiving, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.'"

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, if one of us commits a sin?" He replied, "It is recorded against him." The man asked, "Then he seeks forgiveness and repents?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He will be forgiven and granted repentance." The man asked again, "But then he goes back and commits the sin again?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It will be recorded against him, and Allah will not tire until you tire of seeking forgiveness."

[Machine] From Umm Isma'ah al-'Awsiyah, who had reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , she said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There is no Muslim who commits a sin, except that the angel who is assigned with recording his sins stops for three hours in order to record his sins. If he seeks forgiveness from Allah for his sin during those hours, it will not be recorded against him and he will not be punished on the Day of Judgment.'"

[Machine] Abu Dharr al-Ghifari urinated while standing up, and his urine splashed onto his legs and feet. A man said to him, "The urine has touched your legs and feet." He did not respond to him until he arrived at the home of a group of people. They offered him water for purification, so he performed ablution and washed his legs and feet. Then he approached the man and asked, "What did you say?" The man replied, "By now, you have already done it." Abu Dharr said, "This is the cure and the remedy for sins, to seek forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "No people gather together in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them amongst those who are with Him. And whoever is hindered by his deeds will obtain it when he stops doing them."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever recites Surah Al-Kahf as it was revealed, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection from his place to Mecca. And whoever recites the last ten verses of it and then the Antichrist appears, he will not be harmed by him. And whoever performs ablution and then says: 'Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. There is no god except You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You,' it will be written on a parchment, then sealed with a seal and it will not be broken until the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْكَهْفِ كَمَا أُنْزِلَتْ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ مَقَامِهِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَمَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آخِرِهَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ الدَّجَّالُ لَمْ يُسَلَّطْ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ كُتِبَ فِي رَقٍّ ثُمَّ طُبِعَ بِطَابَعٍ فَلَمْ يُكْسَرْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ «»  

[Machine] "People, after Adam, fell into polytheism, they took these idols and worshipped other than Allah. So the angels made supplication against them and said, 'Our Lord, You created Your servants and You perfected their creation and You provided for them and You provided them with good provisions. They disobeyed You and worshipped other than You, O Allah. O Allah, they make supplication against them.' So the Lord, the Exalted and Majestic, said to them, 'Indeed, they are in error, so they shall not be excused.' He said, 'Choose two from among you who will descend to the earth and I will order them and they will be forbidden. So they chose Harut and Marut. He said, and the narration mentions their trial and it says, 'So when they drank alcohol and became intoxicated and they fell into unlawful sexual intercourse and they killed a soul, the commotion increased between them and the angels. So they looked at what they were doing and in response to that, (the verse) was revealed, 'And the angels exalt ( Allah) with praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth' (Surah Ash-Shura, 42:5). He said, 'So afterward the angels made excuses for the people of the earth and supplicated for them.'  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِبَابِلَ هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ} [البقرة 102] الْآيَةُ قَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ بَعْدَ آدَمَ وَقَعُوا فِي الشِّرْكِ اتَّخَذُوا هَذِهِ الْأَصْنَامَ وَعَبَدُوا غَيْرَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَجَعَلَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَدْعُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا خَلَقْتَ عِبَادَكَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ خَلْقَهُمْ وَرَزَقْتَهُمْ فَأَحْسَنْتَ رِزْقَهُمْ فَعَصَوْكَ وَعَبَدُوا غَيْرَكَ اللَّهُمَّ اللَّهُمَّ يَدْعُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الرَّبُّ ﷻ إِنَّهُمْ فِي غَيْبٍ فَجَعَلُوا لَا يَعْذُرُونَهُمْ فَقَالَ اخْتَارُوا مِنْكُمُ اثْنَيْنِ أُهْبِطُهُمَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَآمُرُهُمَا وَأَنْهَاهُمَا فَاخْتَارُوا هَارُوتَ وَمَارُوتَ قَالَ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ فِيهِمَا وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا شَرِبَا الْخَمْرَ وَانْتَشَيَا وَقَعَا بِالْمَرْأَةِ وَقَتَلَا النَّفْسَ فَكَثُرَ اللَّغَطُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَبَيْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِمَا وَمَا يَعْمَلَانِ فَفِي ذَلِكَ أُنْزِلَتْ {وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ} [الشورى 5] الْآيَةُ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَعْذُرُونَ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ وَيَدْعُونَ لَهُمْ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Never a blessing that Allah bestows upon a servant and he realizes that it is from Allah, except that Allah writes down his gratitude for it even before he praises Him for it.

Never a servant commits a sin and he feels remorse for it, except that Allah writes down his forgiveness for it even before he seeks His forgiveness.

And never a servant purchases a garment for a dirham or half a dirham, and he wears it and praises Allah for it, except that Allah forgives him before his knees to touch the ground ˹in prayer˺."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ نِعْمَةً فَعَلِمَ أَنَّهَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ شُكْرَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحْمَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا۔»

«وَمَا أَذْنَبَ عَبْدٌ ذَنْبًا فَنَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَغْفِرَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَهُ۔»

«وَمَا اشْتَرَى عَبْدٌ ثَوْبًا بِدِينَارٍ أَوْ نِصْفِ دِينَارٍ فَلَبِسَهُ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ حَتَّى يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ»  

"مَا أَنْعَمَ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى عَبْد نعْمَة فَعَلِمَ أنَّهَا مِن اللهِ إلا كتَبَ اللهُ -تَعَالى- لَهُ شُكْرَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحْمَدَهُ عَلَيهَا، وَمَا أَذنَبَ عَبدٌ ذَنْبا فَنَدِمَ عَلَيهِ إِلا كَتَبَ اللهُ -تَعَالى- لَهُ مَغْفِرَتَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرَهُ، وَمَا اشْتَرَى عَبْدٌ ثَوْبا بِدِينَارٍ أَوْ نِصْفِ دِينَارٍ فَلَبِسَهُ (*) فَحَمِد الله عَلَيهِ إِلَّا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ رُكْبَتَه حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُ".  

[Machine] "When the companions of the Prophet ﷺ gathered around him and he wanted to get up, he would say, 'Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdik, ash-hadu an la ilaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk. Amiltu su'an wa thalamtu nafsi faghfirli, fa innahu la yaghfiru adh-dhunuba illa anta.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, did you come up with these words?' He said, 'Yes, Jibril came to me and said, O Muhammad, these are the expiation for gatherings.'"  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْهَضَ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءًا وَظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ كَلِمَاتٌ أَحْدَثْتَهُنَّ؟ قَالَ أَجَلْ جَاءَنِي جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ هُنَّ كَفَّارَةُ الْمَجَالِسِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say the following when his companions gathered around him and he wanted to get up: "Glory be to You, O Allah, and with Your praise. I bear witness that there is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You. I have done wrong and have oppressed myself, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, are these words that you have newly introduced?" He replied, "Yes, Gabriel ﷺ came to me and said, 'O Muhammad, these are the expiations for the gathering."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِأَخَرَةٍ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْهَضَ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءًا وَظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ» قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ كَلِمَاتٌ أَحْدَثْتَهُنَّ؟ قَالَ أَجَلْ جَاءَنِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هُنَّ كَفَّارَاتُ الْمَجْلِسِ
