(14)

ʿUthman ؓ went to Makkah for Hajj. The wife of Muhammad bin Jaʿfar bin Abi Talib entered upon him (i.e., her husband) and he spent the night with her. Then the next morning, he (i.e., Muhammad bin Jaʿfar) came out smelling of perfume and wearing a wrapper saturated with safflower dye. He caught up with the people in weariness before they set out. When ʿUthman saw him, he rebuked him and expressed disapproval, saying: Are you wearing something dyed with safflower when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade that? ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ said to him: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not forbid it to him or you; he only forbade it to me.

أَنْ يَرُوحُوا فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عُثْمَانُ انْتَهَرَه وَأَفَّفَ وَقَالَ أَتَلْبَسُ الْمُعَصْفَرَ وَقَدْ نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَنْهَهُ وَلا إِيَّاكَ إِنَّمَا نَهَانِي

I saw ʿUthman enjoining, in his khutbah, the killing of dogs and the slaughter of pigeons.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ قَالَشَهِدْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَأْمُرُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلابِ وَذَبْحِ الْحَمَامِ

’Uthman never dyed his hair.

مَا خَضَبَ عُثْمَانُ قَطُّ

Waqid bin ‘Abdullah At-Tameemi narrated from someone Who saw ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan ؓ with his teeth covered with gold.

حَدَّثَنِي وَاقِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ التَّمِيمِيُّعَمَّنْ رَأَى عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ضَبَّبَ أَسْنَانَهُ بِذَهَبٍ

He gave his wives the choice between this world and the Hereafter; he did not give them the option of divorce. (Using translation from Aḥmad 588)

وَقَالَ خَيَّرَ نِسَاءَهُ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَمْ يُخَيِّرْهُنَّ الطَّلاقَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade mut’ah marriage and the meat of donkeys at the time of Khaibar.

عَلِيّعَنْ أَبِيهِمَا وَكَانَ حَسَنٌ أَرْضَاهُمَا فِي أَنْفُسِنَا أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَالَ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ نِكَاحِ الْمُتْعَةِ وَعَنْ لُحُومِ الْحُمُرِ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ زَمَنَ خَيْبَرَ

ʿAli ؓ said: I used to enter upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ twice, by night and by day. If I entered upon him and he was praying, he would clear his throat. I came to him one night and he said: ʿDo you know what the angel did this night? I was praying and I heard some movement in the house. I went out and I saw Jibreel (عليه السلام). He said: All night I have been waiting for you. In your house there is a dog and I could not enter. We do not enter the house in which there is a dog or a person who is junub or a statue.ʿ

عَلِيٌّ كَانَ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَدْخَلانِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَكُنْتُ إِذَا دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي تَنَحْنَحَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ الْمَلَكُ اللَّيْلَةَ؟ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فَسَمِعْتُ خَشْفَةً فِي الدَّارِ فَخَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فَقَالَ مَا زِلْتُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ أَنْتَظِرُكَ إِنَّ فِي بَيْتِكَ كَلْبًا فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعِ الدُّخُولَ وَإِنَّا لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلا جُنُبٌ وَلا تِمْثَالٌ

I saw a funeral among Banu Salimah so I stood up. Nafi’ bin Jubair said to me: Sit down, and I will tell you something decisive about this: Masʿood bin al-Hakam az-Zuraqi told me that he heard ‘Ali bin Abi Talib ؓ in Rahbatal-Koofah saying: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us to stand up for funerals; then later on he remained seated and told us to remain seated.

شَهِدْتُ جَنَازَةً فِي بَنِي سَلَمَةَ فَقُمْتُ فَقَالَ لِي نَافِعُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ اجْلِسْ فَإِنِّي سَأُخْبِرُكَ فِي هَذَا بِثَبْتٍ حَدَّثَنِي مَسْعُودُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الزُّرَقِيُّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ بِرَحَبَةِ الْكُوفَةِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَنَا بِالْقِيَامِ فِي الْجِنَازَةِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَمَرَنَا بِالْجُلُوسِ

Praise be to Allah Who has provided me with a garment with which to beautify myself before the people and cover my ʿawrah. It was said: Is this something you say yourself or are you narrating it from the Prophet of Allah ﷺ? He said: This is something that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say when putting on a garment: “Praise be to Allah Who has provided me with a garment with which to beautify myself before the people and cover my ʿawrah.”

أَنَّهُ رَأَى عَلِيًّا أَتَى غُلامًا حَدَثًا فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ قَمِيصًا بِثَلاثَةِ دَرَاهِمَ وَلَبِسَهُ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ الرُّسْغَيْنِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ يَقُولُ وَلَبِسَهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي مِنَ الرِّيَاشِ مَا أَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ وَأُوَارِي بِهِ عَوْرَتِي فَقِيلَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ تَرْوِيهِ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ أَوْ عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُهُ عِنْدَ الْكُسْوَةِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنِي مِنَ الرِّيَاشِ مَا أَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ وَأُوَارِي بِهِ عَوْرَتِي

Whilst we were sitting with Ameer al-Muʿmineen ʿAli ؓ in the mosque, at Babur-Rahbah, a man came and said: Show me the wudoo’ of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. This was at the time of the meridian. [‘Ali] called Qanbar and said: Bring me an earthenware jug of water, he washed his hands and face three times, and rinsed his mouth three times, putting one of his fingers in his mouth. He rinsed his nose three times, washed his forearms three times, and wiped his head once. -[The narrator] said: moving his hands from the sides of his face to the back of his head. And [he washed] his feet up to the ankles three times, and his beard was dripping onto his chest. Then he took a sip of water after doing wudoo’ and said: Where is the one who was asking about the wudoo’ of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? This is how the wudoo’ of the Prophet of Allah was.

بَيْنَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ مَعَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٍّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى بَابِ الرَّحَبَةِ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَرِنِي وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ الزَّوَالِ فَدَعَا قَنْبَرًا فَقَالَ ائْتِنِي بِكُوزٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًا وَتَمَضْمَضَ ثَلاثًا فَأَدْخَلَ بَعْضَ أَصَابِعِهِ فِي فِيهِ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلاثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاثًا وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ دَاخِلُهُمَا مِنَ الوَجْهِ وَخَارِجُهُمَا مِنَ الرَّأْسِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثَلاثًا وَلِحْيَتُهُ تَهْطِلُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ حَسَا حَسْوَةً بَعْدَ الْوُضُوءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ كَذَا كَانَ وُضُوءُ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ

[Machine] About Musa ibn Talha, so he mentioned him.

عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ فَذَكَرَهُ

[Machine] "'Isa ibn Talhah said..."

عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ

This verse was revealed when we were present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : ʿAnd fear the Fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not in particular (only) those of you who do wrong (but it may afflict all the good and the bad people)ʿ. (al-Anfal [8:25]). We started saying: “What is this fitnah? And we never thought that it would happen as it did.”

الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَنَحْنُ مُتَوَافِرُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ {وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لَا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً} [الأنفال 25] فَجَعَلْنَا نَقُولُ مَا هَذِهِ الْفِتْنَةُ؟ وَمَا نَشْعُرُ أَنَّهَا تَقَعُ حَيْثُ وَقَعَتْ آخِرُ حَدِيثِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ

[Machine] His brother, Umar, set off to Saad with his livestock, outside of the city. When Saad saw him, he said, "I seek refuge in Allah from the harm of this rider." When Umar reached him, he said, "O father, are you pleased with me being a Bedouin with your livestock while people are vying for power in the city?" Saad struck Umar's chest and said, "Be quiet. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that Allah loves a pious, rich, and concealed servant."

أَنَّ أَخَاهُ عُمَرَ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ فِي غَنَمٍ لَهُ خَارِجًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ سَعْدٌ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا الرَّاكِبِ فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُ قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ أَرَضِيتَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَعْرَابِيًّا فِي غَنَمِكَ وَالنَّاسُ يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِي الْمُلْكِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ؟ فَضَرَبَ سَعْدٌ صَدْرَ عُمَرَ وَقَالَ اسْكُتْ إنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يُحِبُّ الْعَبْدَ التَّقِيَّ الْغَنِيَّ الْخَفِيَّ

عَنْ أَبَيْهِمَا

I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about kalalah and he said: “The verse that was revealed in summer is sufficient for you.ʿ He said: Had I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it, that would have been dearer to me than having red camels. (Using translation from Aḥmad 262)

عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ»

[Machine] I arrived at the city and we were told that the plague had occurred in Kufa. I asked, "Who narrated this hadith?" It was said, "Aamir ibn Saad." I then said, "But he was absent." I met Ibrahim ibn Saad and he told me that he had heard Osama ibn Zaid narrating to Saad that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a plague breaks out in a land, do not enter it. And if it breaks out while you are in it, do not leave it." I asked, "Did you hear from Osama?" He replied, "Yes."

قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ وَقَعَ بِالْكُوفَةِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ يَرْوِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ؟ فَقِيلَ عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ غَائِبًا فَلَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ فَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ سَعْدًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا وَقَعَ الطَّاعُونُ بِأَرْضٍ فَلا تَدْخُلُوهَا وَإِذَا وَقَعَ وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ أأَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ أُسَامَةَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ

[Machine] The people of Kufa complained to Umar about Sa'd, saying that he did not pray properly. Umar mentioned this to Sa'd, who responded, "As for the prayer of the Messenger of Allah, I used to pray with him by bowing more in the first two units and less in the last two units." Umar said, "That is your assumption, O Abu Ishaq."

شَكَا أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ سَعْدًا إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالُوا لَا يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا صَلاةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَدْ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي بِهِمْ أَرْكُدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ

[Machine] He said, "So I passed by Uwaimir ibn Malik."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَمَرَرْتُ بِعُوَيْمِرِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

Some water for wudoo’ was brought to ʿAli ؓ . He rinsed his mouth and nose three times, and washed his face three times, and washed his hands and forearms three times. Then he wiped his head, then he washed his feet. Then he said: This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do wudoo’. Then he recited some Qurʿan. Then he said: This is for the one who is not junub; as for the one who is junub, no - (he should not recite), not even one verse.

أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ بِوَضُوءٍ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًا وَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاثًا ثَلاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثُمَّ قَالَهَذَا لِمَنْ لَيْسَ بِجُنُبٍ فَأَمَّا الْجُنُبُ فَلا وَلا آيَةَ

The best of this ummah after its Prophet ﷺ are Abu Bakr and ʼUmar ؓ .

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ

A married adulterer was brought to ‘Ali. He gave him one hundred lashes on Thursday and he stoned him on Friday. It was said to him: You gave him two hadd punishments? He said: I flogged him in accordance with the Book of Allah and I stoned him in accordance with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ بِزَانٍ مُحْصَنٍ فَجَلَدَهُ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ مِائَةً ثُمَّ رَجَمَهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ جَمَعْتَ عَلَيْهِ حَدَّيْنِ؟ فَقَالَ جَلَدْتُهُ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَرَجَمْتُهُ بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

Sharahah had a husband who was absent in Syria. She became pregnant and her former master brought her to ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ and said: This one has committed zina, She admitted it, so he gave her one hundred lashes on Thursday and stoned her on Friday; he dug a hole for her to her navel, and I was present. Then he said: Stoning is a Sunnah established by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. If anyone saw her do it, the first one to throw a stone should be the one who witnessed it; he should give his testimony and follow his testimony with his stone. But she admitted it, so I will be the first one to stone her. He threw a stone at her, then the people stoned her and I was among them. By Allah, I was among those who killed her.

إِنَّ هَذِهِ زَنَتْ فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَجَلَدَهَا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ مِائَةً وَرَجَمَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَحَفَرَ لَهَا إِلَى السُّرَّةِ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجْمَ سُنَّةٌ سَنَّهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَوْ كَانَ شَهِدَ عَلَى هَذِهِ أَحَدٌ لَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَرْمِي الشَّاهِدُ يَشْهَدُ ثُمَّ يُتْبِعُ شَهَادَتَهُ حَجَرَهُ وَلَكِنَّهَا أَقَرَّتْ فَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ رَمَاهَا فَرَمَاهَا بِحَجَرٍ ثُمَّ رَمَى النَّاسُ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ وَاللهِ فِيمَنْ قَتَلَهَا

These are days of eating and drinking. I asked who he was and they said: ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ .

عَنْ جَدَّتِهِأَنَّ رَجُلًا مَرَّ بِهِمْ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ يُوضِعُهُ بِمِنًى فِي أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ إِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

[Machine] Narrator: Jafar informed us and recited a similar passage like it.

حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ نَحْوَهُ

It was narrated from Abu Salih al-Hanafi that It was said to ‘Ali and Abu Bakr ؓ on the day of Badr. Jibreel is with one of you and Mikaʿeel is with the other, and Israfeel, a mighty angel, is present at the fight - or he said, is present in the ranks.

قِيلَ لِعَلِيٍّ وَلِأَبِي بَكْرٍ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ مَعَ أَحَدِكُمَا جِبْرِيلُ وَمَعَ الْآخَرِ مِيكَائِيلُ وَإِسْرَافِيلُ مَلَكٌ عَظِيمٌ يَشْهَدُ الْقِتَالَ أَوْ قَالَ يَشْهَدُ الصَّفَّ

I heard ‘Ali ؓ say on this minbar. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came first, Abu Bakr ؓ came second and ʿUmar ؓ came third; then we got involved in turmoil, and it was what Allah willed.

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ أَصَابَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ فَكَانَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ

I heard ‘Ali ؓ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came first, followed by Abu Bakr, and the third one was ‘Umar ؓ . Then turmoil (fitnah) struck us, and that is what Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, willed. Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said; My father said regarding the words, then turmoil (fitnah) struck us. He [ʿAli] was showing modesty thereby.

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا أَوْ أَصَابَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ فَمَا شَاءَ اللهُ جَلَّ جَلالُهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ أَبِي قَوْلُهُ ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَوَاضَعَ بِذَلِكَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came first, Abu Bakr came second and ʿUmar came third. Then we got involved in turmoil, and it is up to Allah to judge.

سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ فَهُوَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ

A man narrated to me from ʿAbdullah bin Mulail that he said: I heard ʿAli ؓ say: Each Prophet ﷺ was given seven nobles, but your Prophet ﷺ was given fourteen nobles, including Abu Bakr, ʻUmar, ‘Abdullah bin Masʿood and ‘Ammar bin Yasir. ؓ

سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ أُعْطِيَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ سَبْعَةَ نُجَبَاءَ وَأُعْطِيَ نَبِيُّكُمِ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ نَجِيبًا مِنْهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ

[Machine] And he said, "We will give him the reward from ourselves."

وَقَالَ نَحْنُ نُعْطِيهِ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا الْأَجْرَ

I heard ʿAbd Khair say: ʿAli said: Shall I not show you the wudoo’ of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ Then he did wudoo’ washing each part three times.

عَلِيٌّ أَلا أُرِيكُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثَلاثًا ثَلاثًا

‘Abd Khair used to lead us in Fajr prayer, and he said: One day we Prayed Fajr behind ʿAli ؓ and when he said the salam he got up and we got up with him. Then he walked until he reached ar-Rahbah where he sat down and leaned his back against the wall. Then he raised his head and said: O Qanbar, bring me the scoop and the big vessel. Then he said to him: Pour (the water). So he poured water for him. He washed his hands three times, then he put his right hand in the vessel and rinsed his mouth and nose three times. Then he put his hand in the vessel and washed his face three times, Then he put his right hand in the vessel and washed his right arm three times, then he washed his left arm three times, And he said: This is the wudoo’ of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

صَلَّيْنَا يَوْمًا الْفَجْرَ خَلْفَ عَلِيٍّ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَجَاءَ يَمْشِي حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الرَّحَبَةِ فَجَلَسَ وَأَسْنَدَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ يَا قَنْبَرُ ائْتِنِي بِالرَّكْوَةِ وَالطَّسْتِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ صُبَّ فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّهُ ثَلاثًا وَأَدْخَلَ كَفَّهُ الْيُمْنَى فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ كَفَّيْهِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ كَفَّهُ الْيُمْنَى فَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَهُ الْأَيْمَنَ ثَلاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَهُ الْأَيْسَرَ ثَلاثًا فَقَالَ هَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

I was a man who emitted a great deal of madhi and I felt too shy to ask the Prophet ﷺ [about that] because of his daughter, so I told al-Miqdad to ask him and he said: ʿLet him wash his private part and testicles and do wudoo’.

عَلِيٌّ كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً وَكُنْتُ أَسْتَحِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لِمَكَانِ ابْنَتِهِ فَأَمَرْتُ الْمِقْدَادَ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَغْسِلُ ذَكَرَهُ وَأُنْثَيَيْهِ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ

On another occasion, Sufyan told us. I saw ʿAli ؓ doing wudoo’, and he wiped the top of them [the feet].

رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا تَوَضَّأَ فَمَسَحَ ظُهُورَهُمَا

Divide it among the women for head covers.

أَنَّ أُكَيْدِرَ دُومَةَ أَهْدَى لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ حُلَّةً أَوْ ثَوْبَ حَرِيرٍ قَالَ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ وَقَالَ شَقِّقْهُ خُمُرًا بَيْنَ النِّسْوَةِ

I was sitting with my father when ‘Ali came and stood next to us and said salam. Then he discussed some issues of the people with Abu Moosa. Then ʿAli ؓ said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me. ʿAsk Allah for guidance in the sense of directions when travelling and ask Allah for proper aim in the sense of aiming an arrow.ʿ And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me to wear a ring on this or this - the forefinger or the middle finger. He was standing and I did not know which of the two fingers it was. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade me to use red saddle cloths or to wear garments made from a blend of linen and silk. We said to him: O Ameer al-Muʿmineen, what is the red saddle cloth? He said: Something that women make for their husbands to put on their mounts. We said: What are garments made from a blend of linen and silk? He said: Cloth that comes to us from Syria, with wide silken stripes in a twisted shape like citrons. Abu Burdah said: When I saw the garment that is called as-Sabani (from a place in North Africa], I realised that this is what it was.

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَبِي فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَامَ عَلَيْنَا فَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَبَا مُوسَى بِأُمُورٍ مِنْ أُمُورِ النَّاسِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَلِ اللهَ الْهُدَى وَأَنْتَ تَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ هِدَايَةَ الطَّرِيقِ وَاسْأَلِ اللهَ السَّدَادَ وَأَنْتَ تَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ تَسْدِيدَكَ السَّهْمَ وَنَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ خَاتَمِي فِي هَذِهِ أَوْ هَذِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى قَالَ فَكَانَ قَائِمًا فَمَا أَدْرِي فِي أَيَّتِهِمَا؟قَالَ وَنَهَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمِيثَرَةِ وَعَنِ الْقَسِّيَّةِ قُلْنَا لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ الْمِيثَرَةُ؟ قَالَ شَيْءٌ يَصْنَعُهُ النِّسَاءُ لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّعَلَى رِحَالِهِنَّ قَالَ قُلْنَا وَمَا الْقَسِّيَّةُ؟ قَالَ ثِيَابٌ تَأْتِينَا مِنْ قِبَلِ الشَّامِ مُضَلَّعَةٌ فِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْأُتْرُجِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو بُرْدَةَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ السَّبَنِيَّ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهَا هِيَ

ʿAli and ʿUthman ؓ met in ʿUsfan. ʿUthman was telling the people not to do tamattuʿ or ‘Umrah. ʿAli ؓ said: Why do you want to forbid something that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did? ʿUthman ؓ said: Leave us alone.

عَلِيٌّ مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى أَمْرٍ فَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَنْهَى عَنْهَا ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ دَعْنَا مِنْكَ

Start with Hajj. So he went to al-Ash'ari, who told him to enter ihram for Hajj and ‘Umrah together. So he did that, and whilst he was reciting the Talbiyah,Zaid bin Soohan and Salman bin Rabee'ah passed by him, and one of them said to the other. This one is more misguided than his family's camel. As-Subayy heard them and that upset him. When he arrived he went to 'Umar and told him about that, 'Umar ؓ said to him: You have been guided to the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ. He [the narrator] said: On another occasion I heard him say: You have been helped to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet.

أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ لَهَذَا أَضَلُّ مِنْ بَعِيرِ أَهْلِهِ فَسَمِعَهَا الصُّبَيُّ فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ أَتَى عُمَرَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ هُدِيتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى يَقُولُ وُفِّقْتَ لِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ

I saw the bald one, meaning 'Umar ؓ , kiss the [Black) Stone and say: I am kissing you and I know that you are only a stone and cannot bring any benefit or ward off any harm, were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah ؓ kiss you, I would not have kissed you,

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ قَالَرَأَيْتُ الْأُصَيْلِعَ يَعْنِي عُمَرَ يُقَبِّلُ الْحَجَرَ وَيَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأُقَبِّلُكَ وَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ حَجَرٌ لَا تَنْفَعُ وَلا تَضُرُّ وَلَوْلا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُقَبِّلُكَ لَمْ أُقَبِّلْكَ

When the apostates apostatised at the time of Abu Bakr, ‘Umar said: How can you fight the people, O Abu Bakr, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), and whoever says La ilaha illallah, his wealth and his life are protected from me except in cases dictated by Islamic law, and his reckoning will be with Allahʿ? Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I will most certainly fight those who separate prayer and zakah, for zakah is what is due on wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from me a small she-goat that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I will certainly fight them for withholding it. ʿUmar bin al-Khattab said. By Allah, as soon as I saw that Allah had opened Abu Bakrʿs heart to the idea of fighting, I knew that he was right.

عُمَرُ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَقَدْ عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَاللهِ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ وَاللهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَاللهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِلْقِتَالِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died and Abu Bakr ؓ became (caliph) after him, and some of the Arabs apostatized,ʻUmar ؓ said: O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness that there is no god except Allah. Whoever bears witness that there is no god except Allah has protected his wealth and his life from me, except in cases dictated by Islamic law, and their reckoning will be with Allahʿ? Abu Bakr ؓ said: by Allah I shall certainly fight the one who separates prayer and zakah, for zakah is what is due from wealth. By Allah, whoever withholds from me a goat that they used to give (in zakah) to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I shall fight them for withholding it. 'Umar said: By Allah, as soon as I realized that Allah had opened the heart of Abu Bakr to fighting, I realized that it was the right thing to do. (Using translation from Aḥmad 117)

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ بَعْدَهُ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ كَيْفَ نُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَقَدْ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَاللهِ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ وَاللهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عِقَالًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَوَاللهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللهَ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِلْقِتَالِ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ

"عن ابن شهاب: أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ لأَبِى بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ: أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله؟ فَإذَا قَالُوهَا عَصَمُوا مِنِّى دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى الله؟ فَقالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: هَذَا مِنْ حَقِّهَا، لَا تُفَرِّقُوا مَا جَمَعَ الله، وَالله لَوْ مَنَعُونِى عَناقًا مِمَّا أَعْطَوْا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ".

[Machine] I heard Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah bin Abi Ammar narrating and he mentioned it.

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ يُحَدِّثُ فَذَكَرَهُ

[Machine] I heard Yahya bin Ma'in saying: The kunya of Abdullah bin Masud is Abu Abdul Rahman.

سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ يَقُولُ كُنْيَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ

ʿUmar said: My opinion coincided with that of my Lord in three matters and my Lord confirmed my opinion in three matters. I said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, why donʿt you take Maqam Ibraheem as a place of prayer? Then Allah revealed the words: “And take you (people) the Maqam (place) of Ibraheem (Abraham) [or the stone on which Ibraheem (Abraham) to stood while he was building the Kaʿbah] as a place of prayer” [al-Baqarah 2:125]. And I said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, both righteous and immoral people enter upon you; why donʿt you tell the Mothers of the Believers to observe hijab? Then Allah revealed the verse of hijab. And I heard that the Prophet ﷺ had rebuked some of his wives, so I sought permission to speak to the Mothers of the Believers, then I entered upon them and said to each one of them: By Allah, either you stop, or Allah will give His Messenger (wives) who are better than you. I went to one of his wives and she said: O ‘Umar, donʿt you think that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is able to exhort his wives? Why are you exhorting them? Then Allah revealed the words. It may be if he divorced you (all) that his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than youʿ [at-Tahreem 66:5]

قَالَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَافَقْتُ رَبِّي فِي ثَلاثٍ أوْ وَافَقَنِي رَبِّي فِي ثَلاثٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى} قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكَ الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالْحِجَابِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ آيَةَ الْحِجَابِ وَبَلَغَنِي مُعَاتَبَةُ النَّبِيِّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ بَعْضَ نِسَائِهِ قَالَ فَاسْتَقْرَيْتُ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَجَعَلْتُ أَسْتَقْرِيهِنَّ وَاحِدَةً وَاحِدَةً وَاللهِ لَئِنِ انْتَهَيْتُنَّ وَإِلَّا لَيُبَدِّلَنَّ اللهُ رَسُولَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ قَالَتْ يَا عُمَرُ أَمَا فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا يَعِظُ نِسَاءَهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ أَنْتَ تَعِظُهُنَّ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِّنْكُنَّ}
