Abu Hurayra said, "The dead person can be raised a degree after his death. He said, 'My Lord, how is this?' He was told, 'Your child can ask for forgiveness for you.'"  

تُرْفَعُ لِلْمَيِّتِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ دَرَجَتُهُ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ هَذِهِ؟ فَيُقَالُ وَلَدُكَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَكَ  

The above mentioned Statement of ʿAli ˹who said: "Speak to the people in a way that they understand. Do you like for Allah and His Messenger to be denied?"˺  

بِذَلِكَ: [حَدِّثُوا النَّاسَ، بِمَا يَعْرِفُونَ، أَتُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُكَذَّبَ، اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ]  

I was informed that the Prophet ﷺ had said to Muʿadh, "Whosoever will meet Allah without associating anything in worship with Him will go to Paradise." Muʿadh asked the Prophet, "Should I not inform the people of this good news?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "No, I am afraid, lest they should depend upon it (absolutely).  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِمُعَاذٍ مَنْ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ أَلاَ أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ قَالَ لاَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَتَّكِلُوا  

‘It is the case that you do not relate to the people a narration which their minds cannot grasp except that it becomes a Fitnah for some of them’.  

مَا أَنْتَ بِمُحَدِّثٍ قَوْمًا حَدِيثًا لاَ تَبْلُغُهُ عُقُولُهُمْ إِلاَّ كَانَ لِبَعْضِهِمْ فِتْنَةً  

"Once Muʿadh was along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a companion rider. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Muʿadh bin Jabal." Muʿadh replied, "Labbaik and Saʿdaik. O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" Again the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Muʿadh!" Muʿadh said thrice, "Labbaik and Saʿdaik, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is none who testifies sincerely that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is his Apostle, except that Allah, will save him from the Hell-fire." Muʿadh said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ ! Should I not inform the people about it so that they may have glad tidings?" He replied, "When the people hear about it, they will solely depend on it." Then Muʿadh narrated the above-mentioned Hadith just before his death, being afraid of committing sin (by not telling the knowledge).  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمُعَاذٌ رَدِيفُهُ عَلَى الرَّحْلِ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ ثَلاَثًا قَالَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صِدْقًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ إِلاَّ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ أُخْبِرُ بِهِ النَّاسَ فَيَسْتَبْشِرُوا قَالَ إِذًا يَتَّكِلُوا وَأَخْبَرَ بِهَا مُعَاذٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ تَأَثُّمًا  

Jarir bin ʿAbdullah said to me, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'Won't you relieve me from Dhu al-Khalasah?' Dhu al-Khalasah was a house where the tribe of Khatham used to stay, and it used to be called Kaʿbat al-Yamaniyah. So I proceeded with one hundred-and-fifty (men) from the tribe of Ahmas who were good cavalry. I informed the Prophet ﷺ that I could not sit firm on horses, so he stroke me on the chest with his hand and I noticed his finger marks on my chest. He invoked, 'O Allah! Make him firm and a guiding and rightly-guided man." Jarir set out towards that place, dismantled and burnt it, and then sent the good news to Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The messenger of Jarir said to Messenger of Allah ﷺ. "O Allah's Apostle! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I did not come to you till it (i.e. the house) had been turned (black) like a scabby camel (covered with tar)." So the Prophet ﷺ invokes Allah to Bless the horses of the men of Ahmas five times.  

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلاَ تُرِيحُنِي مِنْ ذِي الْخَلَصَةِ وَكَانَ بَيْتًا فِيهِ خَثْعَمُ يُسَمَّى كَعْبَةَ الْيَمَانِيَةَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فِي خَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةٍ مِنْ أَحْمَسَ وَكَانُوا أَصْحَابَ خَيْلٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنِّي لاَ أَثْبُتُ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ فَضَرَبَ فِي صَدْرِي حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ أَثَرَ أَصَابِعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْهُ وَاجْعَلْهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهَا فَكَسَرَهَا وَحَرَّقَهَا فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُبَشِّرُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ جَرِيرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا جِئْتُكَ حَتَّى تَرَكْتُهَا كَأَنَّهَا جَمَلٌ أَجْرَبُ فَبَارَكَ عَلَى خَيْلِ أَحْمَسَ وَرِجَالِهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ بَيْتٌ فِي خَثْعَمَ  

'Abdullah ibn Dinar said reported that Ibn 'Umar said, "But Abu Hafs 'Umar decided..."  

لَكِنْ أَبُو حَفْصٍ عُمَرُ قَضَى  

Abu Hurayra saw two men and said to one of them, "Who is this man in relation to you?" He is my father," he replied. He said, "Do not call him by his own name nor walk in front of him nor sit down before him."  

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَبْصَرَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَقَالَ لأَحَدِهِمَا مَا هَذَا مِنْكَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبِي فَقَالَ لاَ تُسَمِّهِ بِاسْمِهِ وَلاَ تَمْشِ أَمَامَهُ وَلا تَجْلِسْ قَبْلَهُ  

Abu Bakr ibn Hazm reported that one of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "It is enough that I tell you that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Love is inherited.'"  

كَفَيْتُكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْوُدَّ يُتَوَارَثُ  

'Abdullah ibn Dinar reported that Ibn 'Umar passed by a bedouin during a journey. The bedouin's father had been a friend of 'Umar's. The bedouin said, "Am I not the son of so-and-so?" He said, "Yes, indeed." Ibn 'Umar ordered that he be given a donkey which was following him. He also took off his turban and gave it to him, One of the men with him said, "Wouldn't two dirhams be enough for him?" He replied, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Maintain what your father loved. Do not cut it off so that Allah puts out your light."  

مَرَّ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فِي سَفَرٍ فَكَانَ أَبُو الأعْرَابِيِّ صَدِيقًا لِعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لِلأَعْرَابِيِّ أَلَسْتَ ابْنَ فُلاَنٍ؟ قَالَ بَلَى فَأَمَرَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ بِحِمَارٍ كَانَ يَسْتَعْقِبُ وَنَزَعَ عِمَامَتَهُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ مَعَهُ أَمَا يَكْفِيهِ دِرْهَمَانِ؟ فَقَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ احْفَظْ وُدَّ أَبِيكَ لاَ تَقْطَعْهُ فَيُطْفِئَ اللَّهُ نُورَكَ  

Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The strongest form of dutifulness is when a man maintains relations with the people his father loved."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَبَرَّ الْبِرِّ أَنْ يَصِلَ الرَّجُلُ أَهْلَ وُدِّ أَبِيهِ  

Ibn 'Abbas reported that a man said, "Messenger of Allah, my mother died without a will. Will it help her if I give sadaqa on her behalf?" "Yes," he replied.  

أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي تُوُفِّيَتْ وَلَمْ تُوصِ أَفَيَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When a person dies, all action is cut off for him with the exception of three things: sadaqa which continues, knowledge which benefits, or a righteous child who makes supplication for him."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا مَاتَ الْعَبْدُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثٍ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ  

Abu Usayd said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when a man asked, 'Messenger of Allah, is there any act of dutifulness which I can do for my parents after their death?' He replied, 'Yes. There are four things: Supplication for them, asking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their pledges, and being generous to friends of theirs. You only have ties of kinship through your parents."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ بَقِيَ مِنْ بِرِّ أَبَوَيَّ شَيْءٌ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا أَبَرُّهُمَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ خِصَالٌ أَرْبَعٌ الدُّعَاءُ لَهُمَا وَالِاسْتِغْفَارُ لَهُمَا وَإِنْفَاذُ عَهْدِهِمَا وَإِكْرَامُ صَدِيقِهِمَا وَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ الَّتِي لاَ رَحِمَ لَكَ إِلاَّ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "No newborn has spoken in the cradle except Jesus, the son of Mary ﷺ, and the companion of Jurayj." It was asked, "O Prophet of Allah, and who is the companion of Jurayj?" He said, "Jurayj was a monk who used to worship in his hermitage. A cattle shepherd would take refuge under his hermitage, and there was a woman from the village who frequently visited the shepherd. One day, Jurayj's mother came and called out, 'O Jurayj!' while he was praying. He thought to himself as he was praying: 'My mother or my prayer?' He decided to prefer his prayer. She called out to him a second time, and he thought to himself: 'My mother or my prayer?' He decided to prefer his prayer. She called out to him a third time, and he again thought: 'My mother or my prayer?' and he decided to prefer his prayer. When he did not respond to her, she said, 'May Allah not let you die, Jurayj, until you have looked in the faces of the wicked women.' Then she left.

Later, the king was presented with that woman who had given birth. He asked, 'Whose child is this?' She said, 'Jurayj’s.' The king asked, 'The companion of the hermitage?' She replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'Destroy his hermitage and bring him to me!' So they destroyed his hermitage with axes until it collapsed. They tied his hands to his neck with a rope and brought him. He was taken past the wicked women, and he saw them and smiled while they were looking at him among the people. The king asked him, 'What does she claim?' Jurayj asked, 'What does she claim?' The king answered, 'She claims that her child is yours.' Jurayj asked her, 'Do you claim this?' She replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'Where is the child?' They said, 'He is in her arms.' Jurayj turned to him and asked, 'Who is your father?' The baby responded, 'The cattle shepherd.'

The king then asked, 'Shall we make your hermitage out of gold?' Jurayj replied, 'No.' The king asked, 'Out of silver?' Jurayj replied, 'No.' The king asked, 'Then what shall we make it from?' Jurayj replied, 'Return it as it was.' The king asked, 'Why did you smile?' Jurayj said, 'Something I understood: my mother's supplication reached me,' and then he explained to them."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا تَكَلَّمَ مَوْلُودٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فِي مَهْدٍ إِلاَّ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ﷺ وَصَاحِبُ جُرَيْجٍ قِيلَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَمَا صَاحِبُ جُرَيْجٍ؟ قَالَ فَإِنَّ جُرَيْجًا كَانَ رَجُلاً رَاهِبًا فِي صَوْمَعَةٍ لَهُ وَكَانَ رَاعِيَ بَقَرٍ يَأْوِي إِلَى أَسْفَلِ صَوْمَعَتِهِ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقَرْيَةِ تَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى الرَّاعِي فَأَتَتْ أُمُّهُ يَوْمًا فَقَالَتْ يَا جُرَيْجُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي أُمِّي وَصَلاَتِي؟ فَرَأَى أَنْ يُؤْثِرَ صَلاَتَهُ ثُمَّ صَرَخَتْ بِهِ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ أُمِّي وَصَلاَتِي؟ فَرَأَى أَنْ يُؤْثِرَ صَلاَتَهُ ثُمَّ صَرَخَتْ بِهِ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ أُمِّي وَصَلاَتِي؟ فَرَأَى أَنْ يُؤْثِرَ صَلاَتَهُ فَلَمَّا لَمْ يُجِبْهَا قَالَتْ لاَ أَمَاتَكَ اللَّهُ يَا جُرَيْجُ حَتَّى تَنْظُرَ فِي وَجْهِ الْمُومِسَاتِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَتْ

فَأُتِيَ الْمَلِكُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةِ وَلَدَتْ فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ؟ قَالَتْ مِنْ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَصَاحِبُ الصَّوْمَعَةِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ اهْدِمُوا صَوْمَعَتَهُ وَأْتُونِي بِهِ فَضَرَبُوا صَوْمَعَتَهُ بِالْفُئُوسِ حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ فَجَعَلُوا يَدَهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ بِحَبْلٍ ثُمَّ انْطُلِقَ بِهِ فَمَرَّ بِهِ عَلَى الْمُومِسَاتِ فَرَآهُنَّ فَتَبَسَّمَ وَهُنَّ يَنْظُرْنَ إِلَيْهِ فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ مَا تَزْعُمُ هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ مَا تَزْعُمُ؟ قَالَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ وَلَدَهَا مِنْكَ قَالَ أَنْتِ تَزْعُمِينَ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَيْنَ هَذَا الصَّغِيرُ؟ قَالُوا هَذا هُوَ فِي حِجْرِهَا فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبُوكَ؟ قَالَ رَاعِي الْبَقَرِ

قَالَ الْمَلِكُ أَنَجْعَلُ صَوْمَعَتَكَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَمَا نَجْعَلُهَا؟ قَالَ رُدُّوهَا كَمَا كَانَتْ قَالَ فَمَا الَّذِي تَبَسَّمْتَ؟ قَالَ أَمْرًا عَرَفْتُهُ أَدْرَكَتْنِي دَعْوَةُ أُمِّي ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَهُمْ  

that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Three supplications are answered without a doubt: the supplication of someone who is oppressed, the supplication of someone on a journey, and the supplication of parents against their child."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثَلاَثُ دَعَوَاتٍ مُسْتَجَابَاتٌ لَهُنَّ لاَ شَكَّ فِيهِنَّ دَعْوَةُ الْمَظْلُومِ وَدَعْوَةُ الْمُسَافِرِ وَدَعْوَةُ الْوَالِدِيْنِ عَلَى وَلَدِهِمَا  

Ibn 'Umar said, "Making parents weep is part of disobedience and one of the major wrong actions."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ بُكَاءُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ مِنَ الْعُقُوقِ وَالْكَبَائِرِ  

'Imran ibn Husayn said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'What do you say about fornication, drinking wine and theft?' 'Allah and His Messenger know best,' we replied. He stated, 'They are acts of outrage and there is punishment for them, but shall I tell you which is the greatest of the great wrong actions? Associating with Allah Almighty and disobeying parents.' He had been reclining, but then he sat up and said, 'and lying.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الزِّنَا وَشُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ وَالسَّرِقَةِ؟ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ هُنَّ الْفَوَاحِشُ وَفِيهِنَّ الْعُقُوبَةُ أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ؟ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا فَاحْتَفَزَ قَالَ وَالزُّورُ  

Abu Bakra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There is no wrong action more likely to bring punishment in this world in addition to what is stored up in the Next World than oppression and severing ties of kinship."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ ذَنْبٍ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يُعَجَّلَ لِصَاحِبِهِ الْعُقُوبَةُ مَعَ مَا يُدَّخَرُ لَهُ مِنَ الْبَغِيِّ وَقَطِيعَةِ الرَّحِمِ  

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr said, "A man causing his parent to be reviled is one of the major sins in the sight of Allah Almighty."  

مِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَسْتَسِبَّ الرَّجُلُ لِوَالِدِهِ  

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr said that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Reviling one's parents is one of the great wrong actions." They asked, "How could he revile them?" He said, "He reviles a man who then in turn reviles his mother and father."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ أَنْ يَشْتِمَ الرَّجُلُ وَالِدَيْهِ فَقَالُوا كَيْفَ يَشْتِمُ؟ قَالَ يَشْتِمُ الرَّجُلَ فَيَشْتُمُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ  

Ibn 'Umar said, "'Umar saw a silk robe for sale. He said, 'Messenger of Allah, would you buy this robe and wear it on Jumu'a and when delegations visit you?' He replied, 'Only a person who has no portion in the Next World could wear this.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given some robes made of the same material. He sent one of the robes to 'Umar. 'Umar exclaimed, 'How can I wear it when you said what you said about it?' The Prophet replied, 'I did not give it to you so that you could wear it. You can sell it or give it to someone.' 'Umar sent it to a brother of his in Makka who had not yet become Muslim."  

رَأَى عُمَرُ ؓ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْتَعْ هَذِهِ فَالْبَسْهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَإِذَا جَاءَكَ الْوُفُودُ. قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ۔» فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْهَا بِحُلَلٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بِحُلَّةٍ فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ أَلْبَسُهَا وَقَدْ قُلْتَ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ؟ قَالَ: «إِنِّي لَمْ أُعْطِكَهَا لِتَلْبَسَهَا وَلَكِنْ تَبِيعَهَا أَوْ تَكْسُوَهَا» فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا عُمَرُ إِلَى أَخٍ لَهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ  

Ibn 'Abbas mentioned the words of the Almighty, "When one or both of them reach old age with you, do not say 'Ugh!' to them out of irritation and do not be harsh with them but speak to them with gentleness and generosity. Take them under your wing, out of mercy, with due humility and say: 'Lord, show mercy to them as they did in looking after me when I was small." (17:23-24) He said, "This was abrogated in Surat at-Tawba: 'It is not right for the Prophet and those who have iman to ask forgiveness for the mushrikun even if they are close relatives after it has become clear to them that they are the Companions of the Blazing Fire.' (9:113)"  

فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلاَهُمَا فَلاَ تَقُلْ لَهُمَا أُفٍّ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا} فَنَسَخَتْهَا الْآيَةُ فِي بَرَاءَةَ {مَا كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا أُولِي قُرْبَى مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ}  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "May his nose be dusted (i.e. may he be disgraced), may his nose be dusted, may his nose be dusted." They said, "Messenger of Allah, who?" He said, "The one who lives to see his parents or one of them in old age, and (still) enters the Fire."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «رَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ! رَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ! رَغِمَ أَنْفُهُ!» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ وَالِدَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْكِبْرِ أَوْ أَحَدَهُمَا فَدَخَلَ النَّارَ»  

Mu'adh said, "Bliss belongs to someone who is dutiful towards his parents. Allah Almighty will prolong his life."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «مَنْ بَرَّ وَالِدَيْهِ طُوبَى لَهُ زَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي عُمْرِهِ۔»  

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr said, "A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wanting to do jihad. The Prophet asked, 'Are your parents alive?' 'Yes,' he replied. he said, 'Then exert yourself on their behalf.'"  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فَقَالَ: «أَحَيٌّ وَالِدَاكَ؟» فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ «فَفِيهِمَا فَجَاهِدْ»  

Abu al-Darda said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recommended nine things to me: (1) Do not associate anything with Allah, even if you are cut to pieces or burned. (2) Do not abandon a prescribed prayer deliberately, for anyone who abandons it will forfeit Allah's protection. (3) Do not drink wine for it is the key to every evil. (4) Obey your parents. If they command you to abandon your worldly possessions, then leave those for them. (5) Do not contend with those in power, even if you think that you are in the right. (6) Do not run away from the army when it advances, even if you are killed while your companions run away. (7) Spend on your wife out of your means. (8) Do not lift ˹away˺ the stick against from your wife. (9) Cause your family to fear Allah, the Almighty and Exalted.'"  

أَوْصَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِتِسْعٍ: (١) لاَ تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَإِنْ قُطِّعْتَ أَوْ حُرِّقْتَ، (٢) وَلاَ تَتْرُكَنَّ الصَّلاَةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ مُتَعَمِّدًا وَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا مُتَعَمِّدًا بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّةُ، (٣) وَلاَ تَشْرَبَنَّ الْخَمْرَ فَإِنَّهَا مِفْتَاحُ كُلِّ شَرٍّ، (٤) وَأَطِعْ وَالِدَيْكَ وَإِنْ أَمَرَاكَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ دُنْيَاكَ فَاخْرُجْ لَهُمَا، (٥) وَلاَ تُنَازِعَنَّ وُلاَةَ الأَمْرِ وَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ، (٦) وَلاَ تَفْرُرْ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ وَإِنْ هَلَكْتَ وَفَرَّ أَصْحَابُكَ، (٧) وَأَنْفِقْ مِنْ طَوْلِكَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ، (٨) وَلاَ تَرْفَعْ عَصَاكَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ، (٩) وَأَخِفْهُمْ فِي اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ۔  

Abu't-Tufayl said, "'Ali was asked, 'Did the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, give you something special which he did not give to anyone else?' He replied, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not give me anything special which he did not give to everyone else except for what I have in my sword scabbard.' He brought out a piece of paper. Written on that paper was: 'Allah curses anyone who sacrifices an animal to something other than Allah. Allah curses anyone who steals a milestone. Allah curses anyone who curses his parents. Allah curses anyone who gives shelter to an innovator.'"  

سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ هَلْ خَصَّكُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَخُصَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ كَافَّةً؟ قَالَ مَا خَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَخُصَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ إِلاَّ مَا فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِي ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ صَحِيفَةً فَإِذَا فِيهَا مَكْتُوبٌ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ ذَبَحَ لِغَيْرِ اللهِ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَرَقَ مَنَارَ الأَرْضِ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ لَعَنَ وَالِدَيْهِ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثًا  

Abu Bakra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Shall I tell you which is the worst of the major wrong actions?" "Yes, Messenger of Allah," they replied. He said, "Associating something else with Allah and disobeying parents." He had been reclining but then he sat up and said, "and false witness." Abu Bakra said, "He continued to repeat it until I said, 'Is he never going to stop?'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ؟»ثَلاَثًا قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «الإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ» وَجَلَسَ وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا «أَلاَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ» مَا زَالَ يُكَرِّرُهَا حَتَّى قُلْتُ لَيْتَهُ سَكَتَ.  

Abu Hazim reported that Abu Murra, the mawla of Umm Hani' bint Abi Talib had told him that he rode with Abu Hurayra to his land in al-'Aqiq. When he entered his land, he shouted out in his loudest voice, "Peace be upon you, mother, and the mercy of Allah and His blessing!" She replied, "And peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessing." He said, "May Allah have mercy on you as you raised me when I was a child." She replied, "My son, may Allah repay you well and be pleased with you as you were dutiful towards me when I was old."  

أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ إِلَى أَرْضِهِ بِالْعَقِيقِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ أَرْضَهُ صَاحَ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: عَلَيْكِ السَّلاَمُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ يَا أُمَّتَاهُ تَقُولُ: وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ, يَقُولُ: رَحِمَكِ اللَّهُ رَبَّيْتِنِي صَغِيرًا فَتَقُولُ: يَا بُنَيَّ وَأَنْتَ فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا وَرَضِيَ عَنْكَ كَمَا بَرَرْتَنِي كَبِيرًا  

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr said, "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and made a pledge to him that he would do hijrah. He left his parents who were in tears. The Prophet said, 'Go back to them and make them laugh as you made them weep.'"  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُبَايِعُهُ عَلَى الْهِجْرَةِ وَتَرَكَ أَبَوَيْهِ يَبْكِيَانِ فَقَالَ: «ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمَا وَأَضْحِكْهُمَا كَمَا أَبْكَيْتَهُمَا»  

Marwan used to make Abu Hurayra his agent and he used to be located in Dhu'l-Hulayfa. His mother was in one house and he was in another. When he wanted to go out, he would stop at her door and say, "Peace be upon you, mother, and the mercy of Allah and His blessing." She would reply, "And peace be upon you, my son, and the mercy of Allah and His blessing." Then he said, "May Allah have mercy on you as you raised me when I was a child." She answered, "May Allah have mercy on you as you were dutiful to me when I was old." Whenever he wanted to go inside, he would do something similar.  

أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يَسْتَخْلِفُهُ مَرْوَانُ وَكَانَ يَكُونُ بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ فَكَانَتْ أُمُّهُ فِي بَيْتٍ وَهُوَ فِي آخَرَ قَالَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ وَقَفَ عَلَى بَابِهَا فَقَالَ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكِ يَا أُمَّتَاهُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ فَتَقُولُ: وَعَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ يَا بُنَيَّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ فَيَقُولُ: رَحِمَكِ اللَّهُ كَمَا رَبَّيْتِنِي صَغِيرًا فَتَقُولُ: رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ كَمَا بَرَرْتَنِي كَبِيرًا. ثُمَّ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ صَنَعَ مِثْلَهُ  

Hisham ibn 'Urwa related this ayat from his father, "Take them under your wing, out of mercy, with due humility." (17:24) He said; Do not prevent them from anything they like.  

قَالَ {وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ} قَالَ لاَ تَمْتَنِعْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَحَبَّاهُ  

that a man came to Ibn 'Abbas and said, "I asked a woman to marry me and she refused to marry me. Another man asked her and she agreed to marry him. I became jealous and killed her. Is there any way for me to repent?" He asked, "Is your mother alive?" "No," he replied. He said, "repent to Allah Almighty and try to draw near Him as much as you can." So I went and asked Ibn `Abbas why he inquired about the man's mother. He replied: "I don't know of a deed closer to Allah, Exalted and Majestic, other than dutifulness to the mother."  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي خَطَبْتُ امْرَأَةً فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَنْكِحَنِي وَخَطَبَهَا غَيْرِي فَأَحَبَّتْ أَنْ تَنْكِحَهُ فَغِرْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَتَلْتُهَا فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ؟ قَالَ أُمُّكَ حَيَّةٌ؟ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ تُبْ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَتَقَرَّبْ إِلَيْهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ فَذَهَبْتُ فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ لِمَ سَأَلْتَهُ عَنْ حَيَاةِ أُمِّهِ؟ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لاَ أَعْلَمُ عَمَلاً أَقْرَبَ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ بِرِّ الْوَالِدَةِ  

Four ayat were revealed about me:

(1) The first was when my mother swore she would neither eat nor drink until I left Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah Almighty revealed, 'But if they try to make you associate something with Me about which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. Keep company with them correctly and courteously in this world' (31:15)

(2) The second was when I took a sword that I admired and said, 'Messenger of Allah, give me this!' Then the ayat was revealed: 'They will ask you about booty.' (8:1)

(3) The third was when I was ill and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to me and I said, 'Messenger of Allah, I want to divide my property. Can I will away a half?' He said, 'No.' 'A third?' I asked. He was silent and so after that it was allowed to will away a third.

(4) The fourth was when I had been drinking wine with some of the Ansar. One of them hit my nose with the jawbone of a camel. I went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Allah Almighty revealed the prohibition of wine."  

نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ أَرْبَعُ آيَاتٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ تَعَالَى:

(١) كَانَتْ أُمِّي حَلَفَتْ أَنْ لاَ تَأْكُلَ وَلاَ تَشْرَبَ حَتَّى أُفَارِقَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلاَ تُطُعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا}

(٢) وَالثَّانِيَةُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَخَذْتُ سَيْفًا أَعْجَبَنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَبْ لِي هَذَا فَنَزَلَتْ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ}

(٣) وَالثَّالِثَةُ أَنِّي مَرِضْتُ فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقْسِمَ مَالِي أَفَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ؟ فَقَالَ: «لاَ» فَقُلْتُ: الثُّلُثُ؟ فَسَكَتَ، فَكَانَ الثُّلُثُ بَعْدَهُ جَائِزًا

(٤) وَالرَّابِعَةُ إِنِّي شَرِبْتُ الْخَمْرَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَضَرَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنْفِي بِلَحْيِ جَمَلٍ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَحْرِيمَ الْخَمْرِ  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, "A child cannot repay his parent unless he finds them as a slave and then buys them and ˹thereby˺ sets them free."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَجْزِي وَلَدٌ وَالِدَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَجِدَهُ مَمْلُوكًا فَيَشْتَرِيَهُ فَيُعْتِقَهُ  

Taysala ibn Mayyas said, "I was with the Najadites [Kharijites] when I committed wrong actions which I supposed were major wrong actions. I mentioned that to Ibn 'Umar. He inquired, 'What are they?" I replied, 'Such-and-such.' He stated, 'These are not major wrong actions. There are nine major wrong actions. They are: associating others with Allah, killing someone, desertion from the army when it is advancing, slandering a chaste woman, usury, consuming an orphan's property, heresy in the mosque, scoffing, and causing one's parents to weep through disobedience.'

Ibn 'Umar then said to me, 'Do you wish to separate yourself from the Fire? Would you like to enter Paradise?' 'By Allah, yes!' I replied. He asked, 'Are your parents still alive?' I replied, 'My mother is.' He said, 'By Allah, if you speak gently to her and feed her, then you will enter the Garden as long as you avoid the major wrong actions.'"  

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّجَدَاتِ فَأَصَبْتُ ذُنُوبًا لاَ أَرَاهَا إِلاَّ مِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ مَا هِيَ؟ قُلْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ لَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ مِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ هُنَّ تِسْعٌ: (١) الإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ (٢) وَقَتْلُ نَسَمَةٍ (٣) وَالْفِرَارُ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ (٤) وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَةِ (٥) وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا (٦) وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ (٧) وَإِلْحَادٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ (٨) وَالَّذِي يَسْتَسْخِرُ (٩) وَبُكَاءُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ مِنَ الْعُقُوقِ۔

قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَتَفْرَقُ النَّارَ وَتُحِبُّ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ؟ قُلْتُ إِي وَاللَّهِ قَالَ أَحَيٌّ وَالِدُكَ؟ قُلْتُ عِنْدِي أُمِّي قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَلَنْتَ لَهَا الْكَلاَمَ وَأَطْعَمْتَهَا الطَّعَامَ لَتَدْخُلَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مَا اجْتَنَبْتَ الْكَبَائِرَ  

Ibn 'Abbas said, "If any Muslim obeys Allah regarding his parents, Allah will open two gates of the Garden for him. If there is only one parent, then one gate will be opened. If one of them is angry, then Allah will not be pleased with him until that parent is pleased with him." He was asked, "Even if they wrong him?" "Even if they wrong him" he replied.  

مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ لَهُ وَالِدَانِ مُسْلِمَانِ يُصْبِحُ إِلَيْهِمَا مُحْتَسِبًا إِلاَّ فَتْحَ لَهُ اللَّهُ بَابَيْنِ يَعْنِي مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ وَاحِدًا فَوَاحِدٌ وَإِنْ أَغْضَبَ أَحَدَهُمَا لَمْ يَرْضَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى يَرْضَى عَنْهُ قِيلَ وَإِنْ ظَلَمَاهُ؟ قَالَ وَإِنْ ظَلَمَاهُ  

"A man came to the Prophet of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and asked, 'What do you command me to do?' He replied, 'Be dutiful towards your mother.' Then he asked him the same question again and he replied, 'Be dutiful towards your mother.' He repeated it yet again and the Prophet replied, 'Be dutiful towards your mother.' Then he put the question a fourth time and the Prophet said, 'Be dutiful towards your father.'"  

أَتَى رَجُلٌ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ فَقَالَ بِرَّ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقَالَ بِرَّ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقَالَ بِرَّ أُمَّكَ ثُمَّ عَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَقَالَ بِرَّ أَبَاكَ  

Abu Hurayra said, "The Prophet was asked, 'Messenger of Allah, to whom should I be dutiful?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. He was asked, 'Then whom?' He replied, 'Your father.'"  

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ أُمَّكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ أُمَّكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ أُمَّكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ أَبَاكَ  

Bahz ibn Hakim's grandfather said, "I asked, 'Messenger of Allah, to whom should I be dutiful?' 'Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then whom?' 'Your mother,' he replied. I asked, 'Then to whom should I be dutiful?' 'Your father,' he replied, 'and then the next closest relative and then the next.'"  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ أُمَّكَ قُلْتُ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ أُمَّكَ قُلْتُ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ أُمَّكَ قُلْتُ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ أَبَاكَ ثُمَّ الأَقْرَبَ فَالأَقْرَبَ  

from the Prophet ﷺ who said, "The clever person is the one who subdues his ˹lower desires˺ and strives toward what is after death. And the weak-˹minded˺ person (a fool) is the one who follows his desires yet holds hope in ˹a reward˺ Allah."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «الْكَيِّسُ مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَالْعَاجِزُ مَنْ أَتْبَعَ نَفْسَهُ هَوَاهَا وَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ۔»  

that Ibn al-Daylamī set out riding to seek ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ. al-Daylamī said: I entered upon him and said, “Have you heard, O ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention anything about wine?” He said, “Yes. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘No man from my Ummah drinks wine except that Allah does not accept from him a prayer for forty days.’”  

أَنَّ ابْنَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ رَكِبَ يَطْلُبُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ ابْنُ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ شَأْنَ الْخَمْرِ بِشَىْءٍ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا  

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever drinks Khamr, Salat is not accepted from him for forty days. If he repents, then Allah will accept his repentance. It he returns to it, then Allah will not accept his Salat for forty days. If he repents, then Allah will accept his repentance. If he returns to it, then Allah will not accepts his Salat for forty days. If he repents, then Allah will accept his repentance. If he returns to it a fourth time, Allah will not accept his Salat for forty days, and if he were to repent, Allah would not accept his repentance, and he will be given to drink from the river of Al-Khabal." They said: "O Aby 'Abdur-Rahman! What is the river of Al-Khabal?" He said: "A river of the pus from the inhabitants of the Fire."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ شَرِبَ الْخَمْرَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ صَلاَةً أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحًا فَإِنْ تَابَ لَمْ يَتُبِ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَقَاهُ مِنْ نَهْرِ الْخَبَالِ قِيلَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمَا نَهْرُ الْخَبَالِ قَالَ نَهْرٌ مِنْ صَدِيدِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ  

attributed to the Prophet ﷺ that he said that: Allah ﷻ said: "From whomever I took away his two beloved things (his two eye), and he showed patience hoping for reward, I shall not be satisfied with any reward for him less than Paradise."  

رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ مَنْ أَذْهَبْتُ حَبِيبَتَيْهِ فَصَبَرَ وَاحْتَسَبَ لَمْ أَرْضَ لَهُ ثَوَابًا دُونَ الْجَنَّةِ  

"The merciful are shown mercy by Ar-Rahman. Be merciful on the earth, and you will be shown mercy from Who is above the heavens. The womb is named after Ar-Rahman, so whoever connects it, Allah connects him, and whoever severs it, Allah severs him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ ارْحَمُوا مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ الرَّحِمُ شُجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعَهُ اللَّهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ followed me and said, "So we set off until I reached a certain place, and he drew a line for me and told me to stay within it. He said, 'Do not leave this area, for if you do, you will perish.' So I stayed within it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went away for a while, or seemingly went far away.

Then he returned and mentioned Haneen, as if they were locusts. (Affan said, or as Affan said if Allah wills), they had no clothes on, and I did not see their private parts at all. They had very little flesh. Then they came and started riding on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Prophet of Allah ﷺ began reciting to them. They came to me and it seemed as if they were flooding around me and attempting to interpose themselves. Abdullah said, "I was terrified of them more severely than I was the first time." A'rif said in his narration, "Then he sat down or as he said." Then when the dawn broke, they left, or as he said. Then indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned very weary and exhausted, or almost exhausted due to what he had ridden. He said, "I feel heavy, or as he said." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ rested his head on me, or as he said. Then the Haneen came to them wearing long white clothes, or as he said. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell into a trance." Abdullah said, "I was terrified of them more severely than the first time." A'rim said in his narration, or as they said, "Some of them said to others, 'Indeed, this servant has received something good,' or as they said, 'His eyes are sleeping, or he said his eye, and his heart is awake.' Then A'rim said, "Some of them said to others, 'Come, let us strike a similitude for him,' or as they said, 'Let us strike a similitude for him and let us interpret it ourselves, or you interpret and we will interpret and you interpret, or as they said.' Then some of them said to others, 'His similitude is like the similitude of a master who built a strong edifice and then sent food to the people. So whoever did not come to his food, or he said whoever did not follow him, he would severely punish him, or as they said.' Others said, 'As for the master, he is the Lord of the Worlds, and as for the edifice, it is Islam, and the food is Paradise, and he is the inviter. So whoever follows him will be in Paradise,' A'rim said in his narration, or as they said. 'And whoever does not follow him will be punished severely,' or as they said.

Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ awoke and said, 'What have you seen, O son of Umm 'Abd?' 'Abdullah said, 'I saw such and such.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'There is nothing they said that is hidden from me.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'They are a group of angels, or he said they are from the angels, or as Allah wills.' "  

اسْتَتبْعَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ مَكَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَخَطَّ لِي خِطَّةً فَقَالَ لِي كُنْ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ هَذِهِ لَا تَخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ هَلَكْتَ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ فِيهَا قَالَ فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَذَفَةً أَوْ أَبْعَدَ شَيْئًا أَوْ كَمَا

قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ ذَكَرَ هَنِينًا كَأَنَّهُمْ الزُّطُّ (قَالَ عَفَّانُ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ عَفَّانُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ) لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ وَلَا أَرَى سَوْآتِهِمْ طِوَالًا قَلِيلٌ لَحْمُهُمْ قَالَ فَأَتَوْا فَجَعَلُوا يَرْكَبُونَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَجَعَلَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ وَجَعَلُوا يَأْتُونِي فَيُخَيِّلُونَ أَوْ يَمِيلُونَ حَوْلِي وَيَعْتَرِضُونَ لِي قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَأُرْعِبْتُ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا شَدِيدًا قَالَ فَجَلَسْتُ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا انْشَقَّ عَمُودُ الصُّبْحِ جَعَلُوا يَذْهَبُونَ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَ ثَقِيلًا وَجِعًا أَوْ يَكَادُ أَنْ يَكُونَ وَجِعًا مِمَّا رَكِبُوهُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُنِي ثَقِيلًا أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ فِي حِجْرِي أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ هَنِين أَتَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ طِوَالٌ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ وَقَدْ أَغْفَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَأُرْعِبْتُ مِنْهُمْ أَشَدَّ مِمَّا أُرْعِبْتُ الْمَرَّةَ الْأُولَى قَالَ عَارِمٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ لَقَدْ أُعْطِيَ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ خَيْرًا أَوْ كَمَا قَالُوا إِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ نَائِمَتَانِ أَوْ قَالَ عَيْنَهُ أَوْ كَمَا قَالُوا وَقَلْبَهُ يَقْظَانُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ عَارِمٌ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَضْرِبْ لَهُ مَثَلًا أَوْ كَمَا قَالُوا قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ اضْرِبُوا لَهُ مَثَلًا وَنُؤَوِّلُ نَحْنُ أَوْ نَضْرِبُ نَحْنُ وَتُؤَوِّلُونَ أَنْتُمْ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ مَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ سَيِّدٍ ابْتَنَى بُنْيَانًا حَصِينًا ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى النَّاسِ بِطَعَامٍ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ طَعَامَهُ أَوْ قَالَ لَمْ يَتْبَعْهُ عَذَّبَهُ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ كَمَا قَالُوا قَالَ الْآخَرُونَ أَمَّا السَّيِّدُ فَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَأَمَّا الْبُنْيَانُ فَهُوَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَالطَّعَامُ الْجَنَّةُ وَهُوَ الدَّاعِي فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ عَارِمٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ أَوْ كَمَا قَالُوا وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتَّبِعْهُ عُذِّبَ أَوْ كَمَا

قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَقَالَ مَا رَأَيْتَ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ رَأَيْتُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا خَفِيَ عَلَيَّ مِمَّا قَالُوا شَيْءٌ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ هُمْ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَوْ قَالَ هُمْ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَوْ كَمَا شَاءَ اللهُ  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the All High, comes every night down on the nearest Sky when the last third of the night remains, saying: ’Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to [his invocation]? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him [his request]? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?’”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ؟ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ؟»  

Give the masajid their due, ˹offer˺ two rakahs before you sit down.  

"أعْطُوا المساجدَ حقها، ركعتان قبل أَن تجلِسُوا".  

The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The example of a good pious companion and an evil one is that of a person carrying musk and another blowing a pair of bellows. The one who is carrying musk will either give you some perfume as a present, or you will buy some from him, or you will get a good smell from him, but the one who is blowing a pair of bellows will either burn your clothes or you will get a bad smell from him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَالسَّوْءِ كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً
