(13)

It was related to me from Malik from Musa ibn Uqba from Abd ar- Rahman ibn Yazid al-Ansari that when Anas ibn Malik came back from Iraq, Abu Talha and Ubayy ibn Kab visited him. He brought them some cooked food and they ate, and then Anas got up and did wudu. Abu Talha and Ubayy ibn Kab asked, "What's this, Anas? Is it an Iraqi custom?" and Anas said, "I wish I had not done it." (i.e. wudu). Abu Talha and Ubayy ibn Kab both got up and prayed without doing wudu.

أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَدِمَ مِنَ الْعِرَاقِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَأُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَقَرَّبَ لَهُمَا طَعَامًا قَدْ مَسَّتْهُ النَّارُ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهُ فَقَامَ أَنَسٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَقَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَأُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ مَا هَذَا يَا أَنَسُ أَعِرَاقِيَّةٌ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَفْعَلْ وَقَامَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَأُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَصَلَّيَا وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّآ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha that Anas ibn Malik said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one occasion when the asr prayer was at hand . Everyone was looking for water for wudu but no- one could find any. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought some water in a vessel . He put his hand into the vessel and then he told them all to do wudu from it." Anas added, "I saw water coming out from his fingers. Then all of them to the last man did wudu."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحَانَتْ صَلاَةُ الْعَصْرِ فَالْتَمَسَ النَّاسُ وَضُوءًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِوَضُوءٍ فِي إِنَاءٍ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ الإِنَاءِ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ مِنْهُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَصَابِعِهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ

I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the time of the afternoon prayer and the people asking for water for performing ablution which they did not find. (A small quantity) of water was brought to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he placed his hand in that vessel and commanded people to perform ablution. I saw water spouting from his fingers and the people performing ablution until the last amongst them performed it. (Using translation from Muslim 2279b)

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَحَانَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ فَالْتَمَسَ النَّاسُ الْوَضُوءَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِوَضُوئِهِ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ الْإِنَاءِ يَدَهُ وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّئُوا مِنْهُ فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَصَابِعِهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nuaym ibn Abdullah al-Madani al-Mujmir that he heard Abu Hurayra say, "If someone does wudu and does it correctly and then goes off intending to do the prayer, then he is in prayer as long as he intends to do the prayer. A good action is written for every alternate step he makes and a wrong action is erased for the second. When you hear the iqama do not lengthen your stride, and the one who has the greatest reward is the one whose house is farthest away." They said, "Why, Abu Hurayra?" He replied, "Because of the greater number of steps."

يَقُولُ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَامِدًا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي صَلاَةٍ مَادَامَ يَعْمِدُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَإِنَّهُ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ بِإِحْدَى خُطْوَتَيْهِ حَسَنَةٌ وَيُمْحَى عَنْهُ بِالأُخْرَى سَيِّئَةٌ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ أَحَدُكُمُ الإِقَامَةَ فَلاَ يَسْعَ فَإِنَّ أَعْظَمَكُمْ أَجْرًا أَبْعَدُكُمْ دَارًا قَالُوا لِمَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ مِنْ أَجْلِ كَثْرَةِ الْخُطَا

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used two fingers to take water to his ears.

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَأْخُذُ الْمَاءَ بِأَصْبُعَيْهِ لأُذُنَيْهِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar would leave and do wudu if he had a nose-bleed and then return and complete his prayer without saying anything.

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ إِذَا رَعَفَ انْصَرَفَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَبَنَى وَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ

Yahya related to me that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Harmala al-Aslami said, "I saw Said ibn al-Musayyab with his nose bleeding and blood poured out of it so that his fingers were all red from the blood coming out of his nose, and he prayed without doing wudu."

رَأَيْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ يَرْعُفُ، فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ الدَّمُ، حَتَّى تَخْتَضِبَ أَصَابِعُهُ مِنَ الدَّمِ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ أَنْفِهِ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي، وَلَا يَتَوَضَأُ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn al-Musayyab was asked, "What do you say about someone who is afflicted by a nose-bleed which does not stop? "Malik said that Yahya ibn Said said that Said ibn al Musayyab said, "I say that he should signal with his head." (i.e. instead of doing sajda or ruku.) Yahya said that Malik said, "That is what I like most out of what I have heard about the matter."

قَالَ مَا تَرَوْنَ فِيمَنْ غَلَبَهُ الدَّمُ مِنْ رُعَافٍ فَلَمْ يَنْقَطِعْ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَالِكٌ قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَرَى أَنْ يُومِئَ بِرَأْسِهِ إِيمَاءً قَالَ يَحْيَى قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ مَا سَمِعْتُ إِلَىَّ فِي ذَلِكَ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Muhammad ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas that Musab ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas said, "I was holding the Book for Sad ibn Abi Waqqas and I rubbed myself. Sad said, 'Did you touch your penis?' I replied, 'Yes,' and he said, 'Get up and do wudu.' So I got up and did wudu and then returned."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أُمْسِكُ الْمُصْحَفَ عَلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ فَاحْتَكَكْتُ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ لَعَلَّكَ مَسِسْتَ ذَكَرَكَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَتَوَضَّأْ فَقُمْتُ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his father used to say, "If any of you touches his penis he has to do wudu."

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ مَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْوُضُوءُ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Salim ibn 'Abdullah said, "I was with Abdullah ibn Umar on a journey and after the sun had risen I saw him do wudu and then pray. So I said to him, 'This isn't a prayer that you normally do. 'He said, 'After I had done wudu for the subh prayer, I touched my genitals. Then I forgot to do wudu. So I did wudu again and repeated my prayer.' "

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَرَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَصَلاَةٌ مَا كُنْتَ تُصَلِّيهَا قَالَ إِنِّي بَعْدَ أَنْ تَوَضَّأْتُ لِصَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ مَسِسْتُ فَرْجِي ثُمَّ نَسِيتُ أَنْ أَتَوَضَّأَ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ وَعُدْتُ لِصَلاَتِي

[Machine] When the sun rose, he performed ablution and prayed. I said to him, "This is a prayer that you didn't used to pray before." He replied, "After I performed ablution for the morning prayer, I touched my private parts and then forgot to perform ablution, so I performed ablution again and then returned to my prayer."

أَنْ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ صَلَاةٌ مَا كُنْتَ تُصَلِّيهَا فَقَالَ أَبِي بَعْدَ أَنْ تَوَضَّأْتُ لِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ مَسَسْتُ ذَكَرِي ثُمَّ نَسِيتُ أَنْ أَتَوَضَّأَ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ لِصَلَاتِي

[Machine] "Do you hear the companions of the Messenger of Allah being insulted in your presence? Do not deny or change, for I bear witness to the Messenger of Allah with what my ears have heard and my heart has comprehended from the Messenger of Allah. I did not fabricate lies about him when I was asked about him. If I were to meet him and someone asked me about him, I would say that Abu Bakr is in Paradise, and Umar is in Paradise, and Ali is in Paradise, and Uthman is in Paradise, and Talhah is in Paradise, and Zubayr is in Paradise, and Abdur-Rahman is in Paradise, and Saad ibn Malik is in Paradise, and the ninth of the believers is in Paradise. If I were to name him, I would name him. The people in the mosque became agitated and asked him, "O companion of the Messenger of Allah, who is the ninth?" He said, "You have asked me by Allah and Allah is Great. I am the ninth of the believers, and the Messenger of Allah is the tenth. Then he pointed with his right hand and said, "I swear by Allah, a man's witness in which his face is covered with the Messenger of Allah is better than the deed of any of you, even if he lived the lifespan of Prophet Noah, ﷺ ."

[Machine] Sufyan and the magicians separated every forbidden person from the Magians and prevented them from drinking Zamzam water. So we killed three magicians and made a distinction between a man and his wife in the Book of Allah. And a large portion of food was made and the sword was shown on his thigh, and he called the Magians, so they threw a shredded palm leaf or leaves on him and ate without Zamzam water. And Umar may have taken the jizyah from the Magians, until AbdurRahman bin Awf bore witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took it from the Magians in Hajr. And my father said and Sufyan said, "Mu'sab performed Hajj along with Bajalah in the year seventy."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If one of you has doubts about his prayer, then if he doubts between one and two, let him take them as one. And if he doubts between two and three, let him take them as two. And if he doubts between three and four, let him take them as three, until the uncertainty lies in the extra (rak'ah). Then he should make two prostrations before he says the Salam." Muhammad ibn Ishaq said: "Husayn ibn Abdullah asked me, 'Did he narrate this to you?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'But he informed me that Kurayb, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas, narrated to him from Ibn Abbas, who said, 'I sat with Umar ibn al-Khattab and he said, 'O Ibn Abbas, if a person is confused in his prayer and does not know whether he has added or missed something, what should he do?' I said, 'By Allah, O Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Faithful), I do not know anything about that.' Umar said, 'By Allah, I do not know either.' While we were discussing this, Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf came and said, 'What are you two talking about?' Umar said, 'We were discussing a man who has doubts about his prayer and what he should do.' Abd al-Rahman said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say this.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَشَكَّ فِي صَلاتِهِ فَإِنْ شَكَّ فِي الْوَاحِدَةِ وَالثِّنْتَيْنِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهُمَا وَاحِدَةً وَإِنْ شَكَّ فِي الثِّنْتَيْنِ وَالثَّلاثِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهُمَا ثِنْتَيْنِ وَإِنْ شَكَّ فِي الثَّلاثِ وَالْأَرْبَعِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهُمَا ثَلاثًا حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْوَهْمُ فِي الزِّيَادَةِ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمْ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَقَالَ لِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ هَلِ أسْنَدَهُ لَكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا فَقَالَ لَكِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ كُرَيْبًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ إِذَا اشْتَبَهَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فِي صَلاتِهِ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَزَادَ أَمْ نَقَصَ؟ قُلْتُ وَاللهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا أَدْرِي مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي قَالَ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي تَذَاكَرَانِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ ذَكَرْنَا الرَّجُلَ يَشُكُّ فِي صَلاتِهِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ

[Machine] I sat with Umar bin Al-Khattab, and he said: "O Ibn Abbas, have you heard from the Prophet ﷺ about a person who forgets their prayer and does not know whether they increased or decreased in it?" I said: "And have you heard anything about it, O Amir al-Mu'minin, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He said: "No, by Allah, I have not heard anything from him regarding it, nor have I asked him about it. But when Abdur-Rahman bin Awf came, Umar informed him about it. And Abdur-Rahman said: 'But I have heard this from the Prophet ﷺ .' Umar said: 'Then you have the knowledge that we were seeking, so what did you hear?' Abdur-Rahman said: 'I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: If any one of you is in doubt about his prayer, then he should consider it as one unit (rak'ah) and two units (rak'ah), and if he is in doubt about two units (rak'ah) or three, then he should consider it as two units (rak'ah), and if he is in doubt about three or four, then he should consider it as three units (rak'ah), until the doubt concerning the addition is removed, and he should prostrate twice before he gives the Salam, then he should give the Salam, and this is its meaning.'"

جَلَسْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الرَّجُلِ إِذَا نَسِيَ صَلَاتَهَ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَزَادَ أَمْ نَقَصَ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ فِيهِ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَا سَمِعْتَ أَنْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا فِي ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ إِذْ جَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ فِيمَا أَنْتُمَا؟ فَأَخْبَرَهُ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ هَذَا الْفَتَى عَنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمًا قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لَكِنْ عِنْدِي لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَأَنْتَ عِنْدَنَا الْعَدْلُ الرِّضَا فَمَاذَا سَمِعْتَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَشَكَّ فِي الْوَاحِدَةِ وَالِثْنَتَيْنِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهُمَا وَاحِدَةً وَإِذَا شَكَّ فِي الِاثْنَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَإِذَا شَكَّ فِي الثَّلَاثِ وَالْأَرْبَعِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْوَهْمُ فِي الزِّيَادَةِ يَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent the army of Dhat al-Salsal and appointed Abu Ubaydah over the Muhajireen (emigrants) and appointed Amr ibn al-'As over the Arabs. He said to them, "Cooperate with each other." They said, "We were commanded to follow Bakr." So Amr set out and became jealous over Qudaa'ah because Bakr was his cousin. The Mu'gheerah ibn Shu'bah went to Abu Ubaydah and said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed you over us, and the son of so-and-so has taken command of the people and you have no authority with him." Abu Ubaydah said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to cooperate, so I obey the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , even if Amr disobeys him."

بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَيْشَ ذَاتِ السَّلاسِلِ فَاسْتَعْمَلَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ عَلَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَاسْتَعْمَلَ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ عَلَىالْأَعْرَابِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا تَطَاوَعَا قَالَ وَكَانُوا يُؤْمَرُونَ أَنْ يُغِيرُوا عَلَى بَكْرٍ فَانْطَلَقَ عَمْرٌو فَأَغَارَ عَلَى قُضَاعَةَ لِأَنَّ بَكْرًا أَخْوَالُهُ فَانْطَلَقَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَعْمَلَكَ عَلَيْنَا وَإِنَّ ابْنَ فُلانٍ قَدِ ارْتَبَعَ أَمْرَ الْقَوْمِ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ مَعَهُ أَمْرٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَتَطَاوَعَ فَأَنَا أُطِيعُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِنْ عَصَاهُ عَمْرٌو

[Machine] About Saad, the servant of Abu Bakr, who used to serve the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ admired his service. So he said, "O Abu Bakr, free Saad." Abu Bakr replied, "O Messenger of Allah, we have no other like him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Free Saad, have the men come to you? Have the men come to you?" Abu Dawood said, meaning the captives.

[Machine] He said to Hasan bin Ali, "What do you remember from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied, "He allowed me to enter the charity room and I took a date from it and put it in my mouth. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Throw it away, as it is not lawful for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or any member of his household.'"

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِلحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ مَا تَذْكُرُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ أَدْخَلَنِي غُرْفَةَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْهَا تَمْرَةً فَأَلْقَيْتُهَا فِي فَمِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلْقِهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَلا لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ

[Machine] That Aqeel, the son of Abu Talib, married a woman from the tribe of Jusham, and the people entered upon him and said, "May you have prosperity and children." He said, "Do not say that." They asked, "Then what should we say, O Abu Yazid?" He replied, "Say, 'May Allah bless you and bless upon you.' That is how we used to be instructed."

أَنَّ عَقِيلَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي جُشَمَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالُوا بِالرِّفَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ فَقَالَ لَا تَقُولُوا ذَلِكَ قَالُوا فَمَا نَقُولُ يَا أَبَا يَزِيدَ ؟ قَالَ قُولُوا بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكُمْ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ

[Machine] "Do not say 'they said, so what should we say, O Abu Yazid?' He said, 'Say "May Allah bless you and bless you. That's how we were commanded."'

لَا تَقُولُوا ذَاكُمْ قَالُوا فَمَا نَقُولُ يَا أَبَا يَزِيدَ؟ قَالَ قُولُوا بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكُمْ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ

I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ eating fresh dates with snake cucumber. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5440)

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَأْكُلُ الْقِثَّاءَ بِالرُّطَبِ

[Machine] "Abdullah bin Ja'far to Ibn Zubair, do you remember when we met the messenger of Allah, ﷺ , you, me, and Ibn Abbas? He said, 'Yes.' Then we carried him and left you. Isma'il asked me once, 'Do you remember when we met the messenger of Allah, ﷺ , you, me, and Ibn Abbas?' So I said, 'Yes.' Then we carried him and left you."

عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ لِابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَتَذْكُرُ إِذْ تَلَقَّيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَحَمَلَنَا وَتَرَكَكَ وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ مَرَّةً أَتَذْكُرُ إِذْ تَلَقَّيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ؟ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَحَمَلَنَا وَتَرَكَكَ

I was with my master ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ when the people of an-Nahrawan were killed, and it was as if the people were upset about their being killed. ʿAli ؓ said: O people, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us about people who would pass out of the faith like the arrow passes through the prey, then they will never come back to it until the arrow comes back to the string of the bow. And the sign of that is that there would be a black man among them who had a deformed arm: one of his arms would be like the breast of a woman, with a nipple like the nipple on a womanʿs breast, around which are seven coarse hairs. Look for him, for I think he must be among them. So they looked for him and they found him on the bank of the river, lying beneath the slain. They brought him out and ’Ali ؓ said: Allahu Akbar! Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. He was holding an Arabian bow of his; he took it in his hand and started poking the manʿs deformity with it and said: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. The people said Allahu Akbar when they saw that and they rejoiced and no longer felt upset.

فَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ وَجَدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ قَتْلِهِمْ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ حَدَّثَنَا بِأَقْوَامٍ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ ثُمَّ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ السَّهْمُ عَلَى فُوقِهِ وَإِنَّ آيَةَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ رَجُلًا أَسْوَدَ مُخْدَجَ الْيَدِ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ كَثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ لَهَا حَلَمَةٌ كَحَلَمَةِ ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ حَوْلَهُ سَبْعُ هُلْبَاتٍ فَالْتَمِسُوهُ فَإِنِّي أُرَاهُ فِيهِمْ فَالْتَمَسُوهُ فَوَجَدُوهُ إِلَى شَفِيرِ النَّهَرِ تَحْتَ الْقَتْلَى فَأَخْرَجُوهُ فَكَبَّرَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَمُتَقَلِّدٌ قَوْسًا لَهُ عَرَبِيَّةً فَأَخَذَهَا بِيَدِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَطْعَنُ بِهَا فِي مُخْدَجَتِهِ وَيَقُولُ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ حِينَ رَأَوْهُ وَاسْتَبْشَرُوا وَذَهَبَ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَجِدُونَ

[Machine] About Al-Harith, he mentioned something similar to it in his narration and its meaning.

عَنِ الْحَارِثِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ

[Machine] "Narrated by Ali ibn al-Husayn, he mentioned it with its chain of narration and its meaning."

عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ

You do such and such. Then ‘Ali ؓ said: You know that we did tamattuʿ with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. [ʿUthman] said: Yes, but we were afraid.

عُثْمَانُ لِعَلِيٍّ إِنَّكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ

ʿUthman used to forbid mut’ah (of Hajj, i.e., tamattuʿ) and ‘Ali used to enjoin it. ʿUthman said something to ʿAli, then ʿAli said: You know that we did tamattuʿ with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said: Yes, but we were in a state of fear then.

عَلِيٌّ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّا قَدْ تَمَتَّعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ

I went out with my father to visit ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ when he was sick and had become very ill. My father said to him: What is keeping you here? If you die, there will be no one to take care of your (burial) except the Bedouin of Juhainah. It is better for you to be carried to Madinah, then if you die your companions will take care of you and offer the funeral prayer for you, ‘Ali ؓ said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ promised me that I would not die until I am appointed leader, then this - meaning his beard - will be dyed from the blood of this - meaning his head, Then he was killed, and Abu Fadalah was killed fighting alongside ‘Ali on the day of Siffeen.

لَهُ أَبِي مَا يُقِيمُكَ بِمَنْزِلِكَ هَذَا لَوْ أَصَابَكَ أَجَلُكَ لَمْ يَلِكَ إِلَّا أَعْرَابُ جُهَيْنَةَ؟ تُحْمَلُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَإِنْ أَصَابَكَ أَجَلُكَ وَلِيَكَأَصْحَابُكَ وَصَلَّوْا عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَمُوتَ حَتَّى أُؤَمَّرَ ثُمَّ تُخْضَبَ هَذِهِ يَعْنِي لِحْيَتَهُ مِنْ دَمِ هَذِهِ يَعْنِي هَامَتَهُ فَقُتِلَ وَقُتِلَ أَبُو فَضَالَةَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ يَوْمَ صِفِّينَ

‘Ali ؓ said: O Abu Juhaifah, shall I not tell you of the best of this ummah after its Prophet ? I said: Yes indeed, He [Abu Juhaifah] said: And I did not think that anyone was better than him. He [ʿAli] said: The best of this ummah after its Prophet is Abu Bakr, and after Abu Bakr it is ‘Umar ؓ , and after both of them there is a third one - but he did not name him.

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جُحَيْفَةَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلِيٌّ يُسَمِّيهِ وَهْبَ الْخَيْرِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَا أَبَا جُحَيْفَةَ أَلا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَفْضَلِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَرَى أَنَّ أَحَدًا أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ قَالَ أَفْضَلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَبَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عُمَرُ وَبَعْدَهُمَا آخَرُ ثَالِثٌ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّهِ

I heard Ibn ʿUmar say: ʿUmar (...) asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : If I become junub at night; what should I do? He said: ʿWash your private part then do wudoo’ then go to sleep.”

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُسَأَلَ عُمَرُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ تُصِيبُنِي الْجَنَابَةُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَمَا أَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ اغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأْ ثُمَّ ارْقُدْ

My father told me that ‘Umar bin al-Khattab ؓ said to the [Black] Stone; You are only a stone; were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kiss you, I would not have kissed you. Then he kissed it.

لِلْحَجَرِ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ حَجَرٌ وَلَوْلا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ ثُمَّ قَبَّلَهُ

I know that you are only a stone and you cannot cause harm or bring benefit. Were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah( ﷺ )kiss you, I would not have kissed you. Then he kissed it.

إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لَا تَضُرُّ وَلا تَنْفَعُ وَلَوْلا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ مَا قَبَّلْتُكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَبَّلَهُ

"عَنْ عَابِسِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ أَتَى الْحَجَرَ فَقَالَ: أَما وَالله إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لا تَضُرُّ وَلا تَنْفَعُ، وَلَوْلَا أَنِّى رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَبَّلَكَ مَا قَبَّلْتَكَ، ثُمَّ دَنَا فَقَبَّلَهُ" .

. . . .

People thought that it was that day (when he was killed).

يَوْمَ الدَّارِ حِينَ حُصِرَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ فَأَنَا صَابِرٌ عَلَيْهِقَالَ قَيْسٌ فَكَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ

They thought it (his advice) was about that day.

يَوْمَ الدَّارِ حِينَ حُصِرَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ عَهْدًا فَأَنَا صَابِرٌ عَلَيْهِقَالَ قَيْسٌ فَكَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ

"عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِى حَازِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِى أَبُو سَهْلَةَ أنَّ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ يَوْمَ الدَّارِحِينَ حُصرَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ (عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ) فَأَنَا صَابِرٌ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ قَيْسٌ: فَكَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ".

[Machine] And he said about it, "Whoever learns the Quran or teaches it"

وَقَالَ فِيهِ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ أَوْ عَلَّمَهُ

I heard ʿAbdullah bin Shaqeeq say: ʿUthman ؓ forbade tamattuʿ and ʿAli enjoined it. ʿUthman ؓ said something and ‘Ali ؓ said to him, You know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did that. ʿUthman ؓ said: Yes, but we were in a state of fear [at that time]. Shuʿbah said: I said to Qatadah: What were they afraid of? He said: I do not know,

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا خَائِفِينَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَقُلْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ مَا كَانَ خَوْفُهُمْ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي

ʿUthman bin ʿAffan ؓ said, speaking from his minbar I am going to tell you a hadeeth that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , nothing kept me from telling it to you except the fact that I care for you, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ʿStanding guard for one night for the sake of Allah, may He be exalted, is better than a thousand nights spent in prayer and [a thousand] days spent fasting.”

قَالَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا كَانَ يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ إِلَّا الضِّنُّ عَلَيْكُمْ وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ حَرَسُ لَيْلَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ لَيْلَةٍ يُقَامُ لَيْلُهَا وَيُصَامُ نَهَارُهَا

ʿUthman bin ʿAffan ؓ said, speaking from his minbar: I am going to tell you a hadeeth that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; nothing kept me from telling it to you except the fact that I care for you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Standing guard for one night for the sake of Allah, may He be exalted, is better than a thousand nights spent in prayer and [a thousand] days spent fasting.ʿ

قَالَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ إِنِّي مُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَمْنَعُنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ بِهِ إِلَّا الضِّنُّ بِكُمْ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ حَرَسُ لَيْلَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ لَيْلَةٍ يُقَامُ لَيْلُهَا وَيُصَامُ نَهَارُهَا

We were with ‘Uthman when he was under siege in the house. He went to the entrance of the house, from which his words could be heard in alBalat. He went to that entrance, then came out to us and said:They were threatening to kill me just now. We said: Allah will suffice you against them. O Ameer al-Muʿmineen. He said: Why would they kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ʿIt is not permissible (to shed) the blood of a Muslim except in three cases: if a man disbelieves after becoming Muslim, or commits zina after being married, or kills someone and is executed in return.” By Allah, I have never wished to change my religion after Allah guided me; I never committed zina either during the Jahiliyyah or in Islam; and I have never killed anyone. So why would they kill me Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif narrated: I was with ʿUthman ؓ in the house when he was under siege. We would enter through an entrance... and he narrated a similar hadeeth. And he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say:... and he narrated a similar hadeeth,

قُلْنَا يَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ وَبِمَ يَقْتُلُونَنِي ؟ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلاثٍ رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلامِهِ أَوْ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ أَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا فَيُقْتَلُ بِهَا فَوَاللهِ مَا أَحْبَبْتُ أَنَّ لِي بِدِينِي بَدَلًا مُنْذُ هَدَانِي اللهُ وَلا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلا إِسْلامٍ قَطُّ وَلا قَتَلْتُ نَفْسًا فَبِمَ يَقْتُلُونَنِي؟

I was with ‘Uthman ؓ in the house when he was under siege. We would go into an entryway where, when we entered it, we could hear what the people were saying in al-Balat. ʿUthman ؓ entered it one day for some reason, then he came out with his face flushed and said: They were threatening to kill me just now. We said: Allah will suffice you against them, O Ameer al-Muʿmineen. He said: Why would they kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim man except in one of three cases; a man who disbelieved after having become Muslim, or a man who committed zina after being married, or a man who killed a person not in retaliation of murder But by Allah, I never committed zina either during the Jahiliyyah or in Islam... I never wanted to change my religion since Allah, may He be glorified and exalted guided me, and I never killed anyone So why do they want to kill me?

فَدَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ يَوْمًا لِحَاجَةٍ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا مُنْتَقِعًا لَوْنُهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَتَوَعَّدُونِي بِالْقَتْلِ آنِفًا قَالَ قُلْنَا يَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ فَقَالَ وَبِمَ يَقْتُلُونِي؟ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا فِي إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ أَوْ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ أَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ فَوَاللهِ مَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا إِسْلَامٍ قَطُّ وَلَا تَمَنَّيْتُ بَدَلًا بِدِينِي مُنْذُ هَدَانِي اللهُ ﷻ وَلَا قَتَلْتُ نَفْسًا فَبِمَ يَقْتُلُونِي؟

Why would they kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ʿIt is not permissible (to shed) the blood of a Muslim except in three cases: If a man disbelieves after becoming Muslim, or commits zina after being married or kills someone and is executed in retaliation.ʿ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلاثٍ رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلامِهِ أَوْ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ أَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا فَيُقْتَلُ بِهَا

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿWhoever says in the Name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing, nothing will harm him.ʿ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ شَيْءٌ

ʿUthman ؓ used to stand by a grave and weep until his beard became wet. It was said to him: You remember Paradise and Hell and you do not weep, but you weep for this? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿThe grave is the first stage of the hereafter. If one is saved from it (i.e., its torments), then what comes after it is easier than it. But if one is not saved from it {i.e. its torments), then what comes after it is worse.ʿ And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: By Allah, I have never seen any frightening scene but the grave is more frightening than it.ʿ

عَنْ هَانِئٍ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ قَالَكَانَ عُثْمَانُ إِذَا وَقَفَ عَلَى قَبْرٍ بَكَى حَتَّى يَبُلَّ لِحْيَتَهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ تَذْكُرُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ فَلا تَبْكِي وَتَبْكِي مِنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْقَبْرُ أَوَّلُ مَنَازِلِ الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَيْسَرُ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنْهُ فَمَا بَعْدَهُ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قَالَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا رَأَيْتُ مَنْظَرًا قَطُّ إِلَّا وَالْقَبْرُ أَفْظَعُ مِنْهُ

Are you going to give up what I heard about you? He was apologetic, then ʿUthman ؓ said: Woe to you! I heard and remembered and it is not as you heard; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿA leader will be killed and a criminal will commit a crime.ʿ I am the one who will be killed, not ‘Umar ؓ ); rather ‘Umar ؓ was killed by one man, but a group of people will kill me

لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ هَلْ أَنْتَ مُنْتَهٍ عَمَّا بَلَغَنِيعَنْكَ؟ فَاعْتَذَرَ بَعْضَ الْعُذْرِ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ وَيْحَكَ إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ وَحَفِظْتُ وَلَيْسَ كَمَا سَمِعْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَيُقْتَلُ أَمِيرٌ وَيَنْتَزِي مُنْتَزٍ وَإِنِّي أَنَا الْمَقْتُولُ وَلَيْسَ عُمَرَ إِنَّمَا قَتَلَ عُمَرَ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنَّهُ يُجْتَمَعُ عَلَيَّ

"عَنْ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: إِنِّى قَدْ سَمِعْتُ وَحَفِظتُ: سَمعْتُ رسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ: سَيُقْتَلُ أَمِيرِى وَيُنْتَزَى مِنْبَرِى وَإنِّى أَنَا الْمَقْئُولُ وَلَيْسَ عُمَرَ: إِنَّمَا قَتَلَ عُمَرَ وَاحِدٌ، وَأَنَا يُجْتَمَعُ عَلَىَّ".

I saw ʿUthman (ؓ ) sitting in al-Maqaʿid. He called for food that had been touched by fire and ate it, then he got up to pray; he prayed, then ʿUthman ؓ said: I sat where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat and ate the food that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ate and I offered the prayer that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered.

عُثْمَانُ قَعَدْتُ مَقْعَدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَكَلْتُ طَعَامَ رَسُولِ اللهِ وَصَلَّيْتُ صَلاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

ʿUthman sat down one day and we sat down with him. The Mu’adhdhin came to him and ʿUthman called for water in a vessel which I thought would contain one mudd. He did wudooʿ, then he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing wudoo’ as I have just done it, then he said: ʿWhoever does wudooʿ as I have just done, then gets up and prays Zuhr, will be forgiven for (whatever sins he committed) between it and Fajr; then if he prays ʿAsr. he will be forgiven so? (whatever sins he committed) between it and Zuhr, then if he prays Maghrib, he will be forgiven for (whatever sins he committed) between it and ‘Asr, then if he prays Isha‘, he will be forgiven for (whatever sins he committed) between it and Maghrib. Then he may spend the night indulging in physical pleasure, then if he gets up and does wudoo’ and prays Fajr, he will be forgiven for (whatever sins he committed) between it and ʿIshaʿ. These are the good deeds that remove the evil deeds (cf. 11:114).” They said: These are the good deeds, but what are the good righteous deeds that last (cf. 18:46), Oʿ Uthman? He said: They are (the words)La Ilaha Illallah, wa subhanallah wal-hamdu Lillah wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah ( There is no god but Allah, praise be to Allah, Allah is most great and there is no power and no strength except with Allah)
