Musnad of 'Abdullah bin al 'Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib from the Prophet

the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drank from Zamzam whilst standing.

Whatever Allah wills and you will. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: "Are you regarding me and Allah as equal ? Rather it is what Allah alone wills."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stroked my head and prayed for wisdom for me.

“Give me to drink." They said: This is used by the people; we will bring you some water from the House. He said: “I have no need of that; give me to drink from that from which the people drink."

"Hearsay is not the same as seeing with your own eyes.”

I spent the night with my maternal aunt, Maimoonah bint al-Harith and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was with her as it was her night. He got up to pray in the night, and I got up and stood on his left so that I could follow his prayer. He took hold of my braid or my head and put me on his right.”

When Bareerah was given the option (of divorce), I saw her husband following her in the alleyways of Madinah with tears streaming down on to his beard. Someone asked al-"Abbas to speak to the Prophet (ﷺ) about him, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to Bareerah: "He is your husband." She said: Are you enjoining me (to stay with him), O Messenger of Allah? He said: "I am just interceding.” He gave her the choice, and she chose herself (i.e., divorce). He was a slave belonging to the family of al-Mugheerah and his name was Mugheeth.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me on the morning of Muzdalifah: "Pick up (pebbles) for me.” I picked up for him small pebbles (the size of broad beans).

And beware of going to extremes in religious matters, for those who came before you were destroyed because of going to extremes in religious matters.”

This verse was revealed when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was preaching in secret in Makkah: And offer your salah (prayer) aloud nor in la low voice. [al-Isra" 17:110]. When the Prophet (ﷺ) led his Companions in prayer, he would raise his voice when reciting the Qur"an, and whenever the mushrikeen heard that, they would revile the Qur"an, and they would revile the One Who revealed it and the one who brought it. So Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, said to His Prophet (ﷺ) "And offer your Salah (prayer) neither aloud", i.e., lest the mushrikeen hear you and revile the Qur"an, "nor in a low voice", i.e., so low that your Companions cannot hear the Qur"an and learn it from you. “But follow a way between"[al-Isra" 17:110].

the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by the Wadi of al-Azraq. He said: "What wadi is this?" They said: This is the wadi of al-Azraq.

Then he came to Thaniyyat Harsha and said: "What mountain pass (thaniyyah) is this? They said: Thaniyyat Harsha. He said: “It is as if I can see Yoonus bin Matta on his fleshy red she-camel, wearing a woollen garment, with the reins of his camel made of palm fibre, reciting the Talbiyyah."

the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about someone who put one ritual before another, and he kept saying, "No problem."

"O Allah, forgive those who shaved their heads." A man said: And those who cut their hair? He said: “O Allah, forgive those who shaved their heads." The man said: And those who cut their hair? And on the third or fourth time he said: "and those who cut their hair.”

the Prophet (ﷺ) moved on from ‘Arafat with Usamah seated behind him on his mount, and he moved on from Muzdalifah with al-Fadl bin "Abbas seated behind him on his mount. And he continued to recite the Talbiyah until he stoned Jamratal-"Aqabah.

a woman travelled by sea and vowed that if Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, saved her, she would fast for a month.

Four bows and four prostrations in two rak"ahs.

When the Prophet (ﷺ) was expelled from Makkah, Abu Bakr said: They have driven out their Prophet (ﷺ); verily to Allah we belong and unto Him is our return, they will certainly be destroyed. Then the verse “Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged; and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory" [al-Hajj 22:39] was revealed. Then he realised that there would be fighting. Ibn "Abbas said: This was the first verse to be revealed about fighting.

"Whoever makes an image will be punished on the Day of Resurrection until he breathes a soul into it, and he will never be able to do so. Whoever tells lies about his dreams will be punished on the Day of Resurrection until he ties two grains of barley together, and he will never be able to do so. Whoever eavesdrops on people"s conversation when they are trying to avoid him listening to it, punishment will be poured into his ears on the Day of Resurrection."

"If one of you says, when he has intercourse with his wife, ‘In the Name of Allah, O Allah, keep the Shaitan away from me and keep the Shaitan away from what You bless us with," if it is decreed that they should have a child as a result of that, the Shaitan will never harm that child.”

the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent eighteen sacrificial animals with a man and gave him instructions concerning them. He set out, then he came back and said: What should l do if any of them becomes too exhausted to move? He said: “Slaughter it, then dip its sandals (on its garland) in its blood, then put them on its hump, and neither you nor any of the people with you should eat from it.”

I came to Ibn "Abbas in "Arafah when he was eating pomegranates. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not fast in "Arafah; Umm al-Fadl sent some milk to him and he drank it. And he said: May Allah curse So and so; they looked at the greatest days of Hajj and erased their adornment; the adornment of Hajj is the Talbiyah.

‘Ali burned some people who apostatized from Islam. News of that reached Ibn "Abbas and he said: I would not have burned them with fire. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Do not punish people with the punishment of Allah." I would have executed them, because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever changes his religion, execute him." News of that reached ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) and he said: Woe to the son of the mother of Ibn "Abbas.

"The evil description is not for us; the one who takes back his gift is like the dog that takes back its vomit."

Mu"awiyah said: No part of the House is to be forsaken.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to them: “What did you used to say during the Jahiliyyah if you saw something like this (i.e., a shooting star)?" They said: We used to say that a great man will be born, or that a great man will die. -I [the narrator] said to az-Zuhri: Were there shooting stars during the Jahiliyyah? He said: Yes, but they became bigger when the Prophet (ﷺ) was sent. - The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “It does not appear for the death or life of anyone, but when our Lord, may His name be blessed and exalted, decrees some matter, the bearers of the Throne glorify Him, then the people of heaven who are closest to them glorify Him, until the tasbeeh reaches the people of the lowest heaven. Then the people of heaven who are nearest to the bearers of the Throne ask (about what Allah decreed); those who are nearest to the bearers of the Throne say to the bearers of the Throne: ‘What did your Lord say?’ And they tell them. Then the people of each heaven tell the people of the next heaven, until the news reaches this (the lowest) heaven. Then the eavesdropping jinn snatch what they can, and (these shooting stars) are thrown at them. What they narrated as they heard it is true, but they add lies to it."

they were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one night when a shooting star appeared... and he mentioned the hadeeth, except that he said: “When our Lord decrees some matter, the bearers of the Throne glorify Him, then those who are closest to them glorify Him, then those who are next closest, until the tasbeeh reaches the lowest heaven. Then those who are nearest to the bearers of the Throne say to the bearers of the Throne: ‘What did your Lord say?" They say: ‘The truth; and He is the Most High, the Most Great’ (cf. 34:23). And they say: "Such and such." And the people of the heavens tell one another the news, until the news reaches the lowest heaven, and the devils come and try to listen to the news so they can convey it to their familiars and throw it to them. Whatever they narrate as they heard it is true, but they add to it and mix lies with it and omit from it."

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) became very sick, he covered his face with a cloth, then when he got distressed we removed it from him, and he was saying: “May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians; they took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.” "A"ishah said: He was warning them [the Muslims] against doing what they [the Jews and Christians] did.

Ibn Ja’far and ‘Abdur-Razzak said : Are you accusing the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?

He said: "O people, there is nothing left of the glad tidings of Prophethood except a good dream that a Muslim sees or that is seen for him.

So they kept repeating that to him, but he said: "Let me be. The state in which I am now is better than that which you want me to do." And he enjoined three things - Sufyan said: He gave instructions to do three things-and said: “Expel the mushrikeen from the Arabian Peninsula, and honour the delegations as I used to do." And Sa’eed did not mention the third thing, and I do not know if he omitted it deliberately, or on another occasion he said that he forgot it. And Sufyan said on one occasion: Either he omitted it or forgot it. [1]The speaker was reminding the people that it is impossible for a Prophet (ﷺ) to become delirious because he ma"soom (infallible), and they should have tried to ask him for clarification because he was still able to speak clearly.[Translator]

They said: O Messenger of Allah, do not blame him, for he is a man of protective jealousy; by Allah, he has never married any woman but a virgin and he never divorced any wife of his but no man among us would dare to marry her because of his strong protective jealousy. Sa'd said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I know it is true and that it is from Allah, may He be exalted, but I was surprised that if I were to find this stupid woman with a man on top of her, I should not disturb him or make him move until I bring four witnesses; by Allah, I would not be able to bring them before he finishes what he is doing.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recovered and said: Be of good cheer, O Hilal, for Allah has granted you a way out." Hilal said: I hoped for that from my Lord, may He be glorified and exalted. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Send for her." So they sent for her, and she came. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the verse to them both, and reminded them of Allah, and told them that punishment in the Hereafter is more severe than punishment in this world. Hilal said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I spoke the truth about her. She said: He is lying. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Invoke curses upon one another (li'an).” It was said to Hilal: Bear witness. He bore witness four times by Allah that he was one of those who speak the truth. And when it came to the fifth time, it was said: O Hilal, fear Allah, for punishment in this world is easier to bear than punishment in the Hereafter, and this is the one that will incur the punishment for you. He said: By Allah, Allah will not punish me for it, just as He did not cause me to be flogged for it. And the fifth time he bore witness that the curse of Allah should be upon him if he was one of those who tell a lie. Then it was said to her Bear witness four times by Allah that he is one of those who tell a lie. And when it caine to the fifth time, it was said to her: Fear Allah, for punishment in this world is easier to bear than punishment in the Hereafter, and this is the one that will incur the punishment for you. She hesitated for a while, then she said: By Allah, I shall not bring disgrace upon my people. And she bore witness the fifth time that the wrath of Allah should be upon her if he was one of those who speak the truth. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) separated them and ruled that her child should not be named after any father; she was not to be accused (of adultery) and he (the child) was not to be accused (of being illegitimate), and anyone who accused her or her child would be subjected to the hadd punishment, And he ruled that she had no right to accommodation or maintenance (food) from him, because they had been separated by means of something other than falaq (divorce) and he had not died and left her a widow, And he said: "If she gives birth to a child with a reddish complexion, small buttocks and thin legs, then he is the child of Hilal, and if she gives birth to a child with dark skin, curly hair, a heavy frame, thick legs and large buttocks, then he is the child of the one with whom she was accused of committing adultery.” And she gave birth to a child with dark skin, curly hair, a heavy frame, thick legs and large buttocks.

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed [the verses]: “And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafiroon (i.e. disbelievers - of a lesser degree as they do not act on Allah's Laws)" (al-Ma'idah 5:44], "such are the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers - of a lesser degreey" [al-Ma'idah 5:45] (then) such (people) are the Fasiqoon [the rebellious i.e. disobedient (of a lesser degree)] to Allah" [al-Ma'idah 5:47]. Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: Allah revealed them concerning two groups of the Jews. One of them had defeated the other during the Jahiliyyah, until they reached a deal according to which the diyah of any person among the defeated group who was killed by the group that had the upper hand would be fifty wasqs, and the diyah of any person among the group that had the upper hand who was killed by the defeated group would be one hundred wasqs. They adhered to that until the Prophet (ﷺ) came to Madinah; then both groups were subdued by the coming of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and at that time he had not yet prevailed and he had a covenant with both groups. Then the defeated group killed a member of the group that had the upper hand, and the group that had the upper hand sent word to the defeated group saying: Send us one hundred wasqs. The defeated group said: Was there ever any deal between two tribes who follow the same religion and share the same lineage and live in the same city, according to which the diyah of some was half the diyah of others? We only accepted that deal because you forced it on us and we were afraid of you. But now Muhammad has come and we will not accept this deal any more, War almost broke out between them, then they agreed to appoint the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to judge between them. Then the group that had the upper hand realized: By Allah, Muhammad is not going to give you a deal whereby he gives you double what he gives them. And they were right, they only accepted this deal because we forced it on them, Sent word to Muhammad to find out what he thinks: if he gives you what you want, then appoint him to judge, and if he does not give you that, then withdraw and do not appoint him to judge. They sent one of the hypocrites to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to find out for them what the opinion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was. When he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Allah informed His Messenger of what they were trying to accomplish, and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: "O Messenger (Muhammad (ﷺ)). Let not those who hurry to fall into disbelief grieve you, of such who say: “We believe up to...(then) such (people) are the Fasiqoon [the rebellious i.e. disobedient [of a lesser degree)] to Allah" [al-Ma’idah 5:41-47].

You asked about the orphan and when he is no longer regarded as such, When he reaches the age of marriage and attains maturity of mind, then his wealth may be given to him, and he is no longer regarded as an orphan. You asked: did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) kill any of the sons of the mushrikeen? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not kill any of them, so you should not kill any of them, unless you know about them what al-Khadir knew about the boy whom he killed.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade selling foodstuff until it has been received in full. I [the narrator] said to him: Why was that? He said: It would be just like selling dirhams for dirhams, as the food is something postponed.

The Prophet (ﷺ) got up at night to pray. So I [Ibn 'Abbas] got up and did wudoo’, then I stood on his left, but he pulled me and made me stand on his right. He prayed thirteen rak'ahs in which the length of standing was equal.

How long will you misguide the people, O Ibn 'Abbas? He said: Why are you saying that, O' Urwah? He said: You enjoin us to do ‘Umrah in the months of Hajj when Abu Bakr and ‘Umar forbade that! Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did that. 'Urwah said: They [Abu Bakr and 'Umar] followed the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) more closely and had more knowledge about him than you.

'Uqbah bin ‘Amir came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said that his sister had vowed to walk to the Ka'bah. He said: “Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has no need of your sister's vow. Let her do Hajj riding and offer a camel as a sacrifice.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, made Makkah a sanctuary. It was not permitted for anyone before me (to fight therein) and it will not be permissible for anyone after me (to do so). Rather (fighting therein) was only permitted for part of a day. Its green grass is not to be cut, its trees are not to be chopped down, its game is not to be disturbed and its lost property is not to be picked up except by the one who announces it." al-'Abbas said: Except idhkhir (a kind of grass), for it is used by our blacksmiths and in our graves. He said: " Except idhkhir.”

Two men referred a dispute to the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked the claimant for proof. He did not have any proof, so he asked the defendant to swear an oath and he swore by Allah, besides Whom there is no other god. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "You did it, but you will be forgiven for your sincerity in saying there is no god but Allah."

"O people, you will be gathered to Allah barefoot, naked and uncircumcised, ‘As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it’ [al-Anbiya’ 21:104]. The first of creation to be clothed will be Ibraheem (عليه السلام). Then some men of my ummah will be brought and taken to the left, and I will say: 'O Lord, my companions!' It will be said: You do not know what they did after you were gone. And I will say as the righteous slave ('Eesa) said: they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise’ (al-Ma’idah 5:117,118). Then it will be said to me: ‘These ones kept turning on their heels since you left them.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up before us to exhort us... and he narrated the same report.

Ibraheem brought Isma'eel and Hajar, and left them in Makkah at the site of Zamzam…. and he narrated the hadeeth. Then she came from al-Marwah to Isma’eel, and the spring had begun to flow. She started digging with her hands around the spring, to make a hole so that the water would gather in this hole, then she took her jug and scooped up some water into her waterskin. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “May Allah have mercy on her; if she had left it alone it would have been a spring flowing (on the surface) until the Day of Resurrection.”

We came with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as pilgrims, and he told them to make it [Hajj] 'Umrah, then he said: "If l had known before what I know now, I would have done what you have done. But now 'Umrah has been incorporated into Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.” Then he interlaced his fingers. And the people exited ihram, except those who had the hady with them. ‘Ali came from Yemen and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: “For what have you entered ihram?” He said: "I have entered ihram for what you entered ihram for." He said: “Do you have a hady with you?" He said: No. He said: "Then carry on as you are, and you can have one-third of my hady." And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had one hundred camels with him.

O Messenger of Allah, he is possessed; it affects him at our lunch and dinner and spoils our meals. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wiped his chest and prayed for him, and he coughed, then something like a little black dog came out of his mouth and ran away.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) picked up a bone from a pot (and ate from it), then he prayed and did not do wudoo’.

The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed Zuhr in Dhul-Hulaifah, then he called for his camel and he marked it on the right side of its hump, then he wiped the blood from it, then he garlanded it with two sandals. Then his mount was brought to him and when he reached al-Baida’, he entered ihram for Hajj.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No one should say that I am better than Yoonus bin Matta.”

His maternal aunt Umm Hufaid, gave the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) some ghee, a [cooked] lizard and some dried yoghurt. He ate some of the ghee and dried yoghurt, but he left the lizard because he found it off-putting. But it was eaten at the table of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and if it were haram, it would not have been eaten at the table of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I [the narrator] said: Who said, If it were haram? He said: Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه).

Tonight is Lailatal-Qadr. So I got up, although I was drowsy, and I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and found him praying. I looked to see what night that was, and it was the night of the twenty-third.

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to spend many nights, one after another, hungry, and his family could not find anything for supper. Most of their bread was barley bread.

"O people, Hajj has been prescribed for you.” Al-Aqra` bin Habis stood up and said: Is it every year, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "If I said that, it would become obligatory, and if it became obligatory you would not do it - or you would not be able to do it. Hajj is once [in a lifetime], and whoever does more, it is voluntary.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) circumambulated the Ka'bah seven times running, and he only ran because he wanted to show the people that he was strong.

He said: I went to Ibn 'Abbas and said to him: I have seen Ibn az-Zubair praying in a manner that I have never seen anyone pray before. And I described these motions to him. He said: If you want to see the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), watch the prayer of Ibn az-Zubair.

Give us something that we can ask this man about. They said: Ask him about ar-rooh. Then the verse “And they ask you (O Muhammad (ﷺ)) concerning the Rooh (the spirit). Say: “The Rooh (the spirit) is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little” [al-Isra' 17:85] was revealed. They [the Jews] said: We have been given a great deal of knowledge. We were given the Torah, and whoever is given the Torah has been given a great deal of good. Then Allah revealed the words: “Say (O Muhammad (ﷺ) to mankind): “If the sea were ink for (writing) the words of my Lord, surely, the sea would be exhausted" [al-Kahf 18:109].

"Perhaps you kissed her or touched her or looked at her?"

"O Allah, You are the Companion on the journey and the Successor (the One Who guards them in a person's absence) over the family. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from burdensome travelling companions and an ill-fated outcome upon returning. O Allah, make the distance short for us and make the journey easy for us.” And when he wanted to return, he said: "Returning, repenting, worshipping and praising our Lord."...

"Some people among my ummah will recite the Qur'an but they will pass out of Islam as the arrow passes through the prey.”

"Do not go out to meet incoming traders, do not leave the milk of a she-camel or sheep to accumulate [in its udder, so as to deceive a prospective buyer], do not try to sell by artificial means.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) confirmed some things that Umayyah said in his poetry. He [Umayyah] said: A man and a bull beneath his right foot, and an eagle and a lion cub under the other foot. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “He is right." He [Umayyah] said: The sun shines red at the end of every day and its colour becomes rosy in the morning. It comes reluctantly and rises very slowly by being compelled and whipped. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “He is right."

"The one who falls asleep whilst prostrating is not required to do wudoo’, unless he lies down. If he lies down, then his muscles relax."

A man seized a woman or tried to take her prisoner, but she tried to grab his sword, so he killed her. The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by her and was told what had happened to her, and he forbade killing women.

If Zaid was killed, Ja'far [was to assume command]. If Ja'far was killed, Ibn Rawahah [was to assume command]. Ibn Rawahah stayed behind and prayed Jumu'ah with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who saw him and said, “What kept you behind?” He said: I wanted to pray Jumu’ah with you. He said: "To go out in the morning (to fight, for the sake of Allah) and come back in the evening is better than this world and everything in it.”

“He is not one of us who has intercourse with a pregnant woman [i.e., a female prisoner of war who is pregnant]."

"No, not at all [I cannot please you by doing that]." They said: We will give you something in return for that. He said: "That is even worse."

The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed wearing a single garment that he wrapped around himself, and used its extra length to protect himself from the heat or coldness of the ground.

Abu Jahl passed by and said: Didn't I tell you to stop? The Prophet (ﷺ) rebuffed him and Abu Jahl said to him: Why are you rebuffing me, O Muhammad? By Allah, you know there is no man with more helpers to call upon than me. Jibreel (عليه السلام) said: "Then let him call upon his council (of helpers)" [al-'Alaq 96:17]. Ibn 'Abbas said: By Allah, if he had called upon his helpers, the punishing angels would have seized him.

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to deliver the khutbah on Friday standing, then he would sit down, then he would stand up and deliver (the second) khutbah.

"There is no one among you but he has a companion (qareen) from among the devils appointed (to accompany) him." They said: Even you, O Messenger of Allah? He said, "Yes, but Allah helped me against him and he became Muslim.”

On the night when the Prophet (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey (Isra'), he entered Paradise and heard a sound in some part of it. He said: “O Jibreel, what is this?” He said: This is Bilal, the mu'adhdhin. When he came to the people, the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Bilal has attained success; I saw such and such for him.” Then he was met by Moosa (عليه السلام), who welcomed him and said: Welcome to the unlettered Prophet. He (the Prophet (ﷺ)) said: "He was a tall, dark man with straight hair down to his ears or above them.” And he said: “Who is this, O Jibreel?" He said: This is Moosa (عليه السلام). Then he went further and was met by ‘Eesa, who welcomed him. He said: "Who is this, O Jibreel?" He said: This is "Eesa. Then he went on and was met by a respectable, dignified old man, who welcomed him and greeted him with salam, and all of them greeted him with salam. He said: “Who is this, O Jibreel?” He said: This is your father Ibraheem. Then he looked into Hell and saw people consuming corpses. He said: “Who are these people, O Jibreel?" He said: These are the ones who eat people's flesh (i.e., gossip). And he saw a man who looked red and blue, of stocky build and dishevelled. He said: "Who is this, O Jibreel?" He said: This is the one who hamstrung the she-camel. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered al-Masjid al-Aqsa, he stood up to pray, then he turned around and saw all the Prophets praying with him. When he finished praying, two vessels were brought to him, one from the right and the other from the left. In one of them there was milk and in the other there was honey. He took the milk and drank some of it, and the one who brought the vessel said: You have acted in accordance with sound human nature (done the right thing).

I stood with the Prophet (ﷺ) to pray, on his left, and he made me stand on his right.

A similar report.

“I shall be ahead of you at the Cistern, and whoever comes to it will have succeeded. Some people will be brought and then taken to the left, and I will say: 'O Lord!' But it will be said: ‘They continued turning back on their heels after you were gone.”’

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was optimistic and not superstitious, and he liked good names.

“He is not one of us who does not show respect to our old ones and compassion to our young ones, [and does not] enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil."

"There are five, all of which are evil; the pilgrim in ihram may kill them and they may be killed in the Haram: mice, scorpions, snakes, vicious dogs and crows.”

“There are five, all of which are evil; the pilgrim in ihram may kill them and they may be killed in the Haram..." A similar report.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not prescribe anything but I learned it, apart from three things. I do not know whether the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited in Zuhr and 'Asr or not. And I do not know how he recited this verse: "Wa qad balaghtu minal kibari ‘utiyya” or “ 'usiyya” (referring to the verse "and I have reached the extreme old age” [Maryam 19:8]). Husain said: And I forgot the third. 'Abdullah said: I heard it all from 'Uthman bin Muhammad.

The people of Makkah asked the Prophet (ﷺ) to turn as-Safa into gold for them and to remove the mountains from around them so that they could cultivate (the land). It was said to him: If you want, you can be patient with them or if you want, you can give them what they asked for, but if they disbelieve, they will be destroyed as those who came before them were destroyed. He said: “Rather I shall be patient with them.” Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed this verse: "And nothing stops Us from sending the Ayat (proofs, evidences, signs) but that the people of old denied them. And We sent the she-camel to Thamood as a clear sign"[al-Isra' 17:59].

Juwairiyah's name was Barrah (meaning righteous), but it was as if the Prophet (ﷺ) disliked that, so he named her Juwairiyah, because he did not like it to be said that he had left a righteous woman. He went out after he prayed, then he came back to her and she said: Since you left, O Messenger of Allah, I have continued in worship. He said to her: "After I left you, I said some words which, if they were to be weighed, would outweigh what you said: ‘Glory be to Allah as much as the number of His creation; glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him; glory be to Allah as much as the weight of His Throne; and glory be to Allah as much as the ink of His words.’”

"Fast when you see it [the new moon] and break the fast when you see it, and if clouds prevent you from seeing it, then complete the number [of days, in the month]; the month is twenty-nine days,” meaning that it may be shorter [than thirty days].

O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died and she owed a month's fast; should I make it up for her? He said: "If your mother owed a debt, would you pay it off for her?" He said: Yes. He said: "A debt owed to Allah is more deserving of being paid off.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about offering a sacrifice, stoning the Jamrah and shaving the head, and doing the rituals in different orders, and he said: "No problem."

A roasted shoulder [of an animal] was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he nibbled some meat from it, then he prayed and he did not do wudoo’ after eating that.

"Good health and free time [are] two blessings from Allah that many people do not make good use of."

I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) eat from a shoulder or leg [of an animal], then he got up and prayed, and he did not do wudoo’.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to teach them this supplication as he would teach them a soorah of the Qur'an: “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the torment of Hell; I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave; I seek refuge in You from the evil of the Dajjal; and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death."

“There is no God but Allah, the Almighty, the Forbearing; there is no God but You, Lord of the mighty Throne; there is no God but You, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth and Lord of the noble Throne.”

i.e., the supplication at times of distress.

"O Allah, bless Rajab and Sha'ban for us, and bless Ramadan for us.” And he used to say: “The night before Friday is beautiful and its day is bright and shiny."

"On the night when I was taken on the Night Journey (al-Isra'), I saw Moosa (عليه السلام), a tall dark man with curly hair, as if he were one of the men of Shanoo'ah. And I saw 'Eesa Ibn Maryam (عليه السلام), a man of average height with a red and white complexion and lank hair."

"Make it ‘Umrah. If I had known before what I know now, I would have told you to do it ('Umrah). And let those who do not have sacrificial animals with them exit ihram.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had a sacrificial animal with him. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "’Umrah has been incorporated into Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.” And he interlaced his fingers.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was on a journey, and he stopped at the end of the night and went to sleep, and he did not wake up until the sun woke him up. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) instructed Bilal to give the call to prayer, and he prayed two rak'ahs. And Ibn ‘Abbas said: I would not be pleased to have this world and everything in it - i.e., instead of this concession.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) left Madinah, heading for Makkah, and he fasted until he reached ‘Usfan. Then he called for a vessel and took it in his hand so that the people could see him, then he broke his fast. And Ibn 'Abbas used to say: Whoever wants to may fast and whoever wants to may not fast.

The same isnad and a similar report.

“I came rushing to tell you about Lailatal-Qadr, but then I was caused to forget it whilst I was coming to you. However seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan."

"This is a sacred land; Allah made it sacred on the day He created the heavens and the earth. It is sacred; Allah has made it sacred until the Day of Resurrection. It was not made permissible to anyone to fight in it apart from me, and it will not be permissible for anyone after me to fight in it until the Day of Resurrection. It was only made permissible for me for part of a day. It is a sanctuary made sacred by Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, until the Hour begins. Its thorns are not to be cut, its green grass is not to be uprooted, its game is not to be disturbed and its lost property is not to be picked up except by the one who will announce it.” al 'Abbas - who was one of the local people and knew what they could not do without - said: Except idhkhir, O Messenger of Allah, for they need it for their graves and houses. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Except idhkhir."

“This is something that I have never eaten, but whoever would like to eat it, let him eat it.” And it was eaten at his table.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was treated with cupping when he was in ihram, in his head, for a headache or something in his head, at an oasis called Lahyu Jamal.

“With regard to a mukatab [a slave who has drawn up a contract of manumission with his master and is buying his freedom in instalments], a portion of the diyah of a free man should be paid, commensurate with how much he had paid towards his manumission, and a portion of the diyah of a slave should be paid, commensurate with the extent to which he was still a slave.”

When the people gathered to wash the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), there was no one in the house apart from his family: his paternal uncle al-'Abbas bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib, ‘Ali bin Abi Talib, al-Fadl bin al-'Abbas, Qutham bin al-'Abbas, Usamah bin Zaid bin Harithah and Salih, his freed slave. When they decided to start washing him, Aws bin Khawli al-Ansari called out from behind the door, then one of Banu 'Awf bin al-Khazraj, who had been present at Badr, called out to 'Ali bin Abi Talib, saying to him: O 'Ali, I adjure you by Allah, we have the right to be present at the washing of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). 'Ali said to him: Come in. So he came in and was present at the washing of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), but he was not involved in the washing itself. 'Ali made him [the Prophet (ﷺ)] lean against his chest, and he was wearing his chemise, and al-'Abbas, al-Fadl and Qutham turned him over with 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه), whilst Usamah bin Zaid and Salih, their freed slaves, poured the water, and ‘Ali started washing him. Nothing was seen of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) of that which is usually seen in a dead person, and ‘Ali kept saying: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you; how good you are in life and in death! When they finished washing the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who was washed with water and lotus leaves, they dried him and they did what is usually done for the deceased, then he was wrapped in three pieces of cloth: two white pieces of cloth and a striped cloak. Then al-'Abbas called two men and said: Let one of you go to Abu 'Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah - as Abu ‘Ubaidah used to dig graves for the people of Makkah - and let the other go to Abu Talhah bin Sahl al-Ansari. Abu Talhah used to make the niche [in the grave] for the people of Madinah. Then al-'Abbas, said after he sent these two people. O Allah, choose for Your Messenger, So they went, but the one who was sent to Abu 'Ubaidah did not find Abu ‘Ubaidah, but the one who was sent to Abu Talhah found him and brought him, and he dug a grave with a niche (lahd) for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

I am the most knowledgeable of the people regarding this. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) only did Hajj once, and this is why they differed: the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out for Hajj, and when he had prayed two rak'ahs in his mosque in Dhul-Hulaifah, he entered ihram where he was sitting (after prayer) and recited the Talbiyah for Hajj after completing his two rak'ahs. Some people heard that and remembered it. Then he mounted his camel, and when it stood up with him, he recited the Talbiyah and some people heard that. The people used to come to him in groups, and they heard him recite the Talbiyah when his camel stood up with him, so they said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the Talbiyah when his camel stood up with him. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) continued onwards, and when he reached the peak of al-Baida’, he recited the Talbiyah. Some people heard that, so they said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the Talbiyah when he reached the peak of al-Baida'. By Allah, he entered ihram at the place where he had prayed, and he recited the Talbiyah when his camel stood up with him, and he recited the Talbiyah when he reached the peak of al-Baida'. Whoever follows the view of 'Abdullah bin ‘Abbas would enter ihram from the place where he prays when he finishes the two rak'ahs.

"Share out their meat, blankets and skins among the people, but do not give any of it to the butcher. Take a little meat from each camel for us and put it in a pot, so that we may eat its meat and drink its broth. And he did that.

O Abul-'Abbas, what about what you said, that there is no man who performed Hajj and who did not bring his sacrificial animal with him, then he circumambulated the House, but he should exit ihram and regard what he has done as 'Umrah, and there is no pilgrim who brought his sacrificial animal with him and circumambulated the House, but he should combine 'Umrah and Hajj - but the people do not say this? He said: Woe to you! The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and those of his Companions who were with him set out, not thinking of anything except Hajj, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) instructed those who did not have a sacrificial animal with them to circumambulate the House and exit ihram on the basis that what they had done was ‘Umrah. One of them said: O Messenger of Allah, rather it is Hajj. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "It is not Hajj; rather it is 'Umrah."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not allow ‘A’ishah to do 'Umrah on the night of al-Hasbah [when the pilgrims come to Muhassab after leaving Mina on Yaumut-Tarwiyah (8th Dhul-Hijjah)] in order to put an end to the custom of the mushrikeen, because they used to say: When the backs of the camels have healed, the tracks of the pilgrims have been erased and the month of Safar has begun, then it becomes permissible to do ‘Umrah for anyone who wants to do it.

In the year of al Hudaibiyah, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took as a sacrificial animal the camel of Abu Jahl which had been captured as booty on the day of Badr and which had a ring of silver in its nose. Elsewhere he said: to annoy the mushrikeen thereby.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out in the year of the conquest in Ramadan. He fasted Ramadan and the Muslims fasted with him until, when he was in al-Kadeed, he called for a vessel of water. He was on his mount, and he drank whilst the people were looking on, to show them that he had broken the fast, and the Muslims broke the fast.

The people of the Book used to let their hair down and the mushrikeen used to part their hair. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) liked to do some of what the people of the Book did in some matters concerning which he had not received any commands, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) let his forelock down, Then later on he parted his hair.

“The previously married woman has more right to decide (concerning her marriage) and the female orphan should be consulted, and her permission is her silence."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) returned his daughter Zainab to Abul-'As bin ar-Rabee', although she became Muslim six years before him, on the basis of the previous marriage contract, and he did not repeat the marriage contract with witnesses and a dowry.

A man married an Ansari woman from (the tribe of) Bal’ajlan; he entered upon her and spent the night with her, then the next morning he said: I did not find her to be a virgin. The matter was referred to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) summoned the girl and asked her, and she said: Yes, I was a virgin. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) instructed them to engage in li'an and he gave her her dowry.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered that the Jewish man and the Jewish woman be stoned at the door of his mosque. When the Jewish man felt the stone hit him, he stood over the woman and tried to shield her from the stones, until they were both killed. And that was a sign from Allah to His Messenger that they had indeed committed zina.

“Why don't you try to make use of its skin?" They said: O Messenger of Allah, it is dead [i.e., it died of natural causes and was not slaughtered properly]. He said: “It is only forbidden to eat it."

When the letter of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Caesar, he said when he read it: Find me one of his people so that I can ask him about the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: Abu Sufyan bin Harb told me that he was in Syria with some men of Quraish who had come for trade, and that was at a time when there was a truce between the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the disbelievers of Quraish. Abu Sufyan said: The messenger of Caesar came to me and took me and my companions to Jerusalem, where we were admitted into his [Caesar's] presence. He was sitting in his royal court, wearing a crown and with the Byzantine leaders around him. He said to his interpreter: Ask them which of them is closest in lineage to this man who claims to be a Prophet. Abu Sufyan said: I am the closest in lineage to him. He said: What is your relationship to him? I said: He is my cousin (the son of my paternal uncle). Abu Sufyan said: On that occasion, there was no one else of Banu 'Abd Manaf in the caravan except me. Caesar said: Let him come close to me. Then he instructed that my companions should be made to stand behind me, at my shoulder. Then he said to his interpreter: Tell his companions that I am going to ask this one about this man who claims to be a Prophet, and if he lies they should say that he is lying. Abu Sufyan said: By Allah, were it not that it would have been shameful at that time for my companions to describe me as a liar, I would have lied when he asked me. But I felt that it was shameful to be described as a liar, so I told the truth about him. Then Caesar said to his interpreter: Say to him: What kind of lineage does this man have among you? I said: He is of a noble lineage among us. He said: Did anyone among you say the same thing before him? I said: No. He said: Did you ever blame him for telling lies before he said what he said? I said: No. He said: Was anyone among his forebears a king? I said: No. He said: Do the nobles of the people follow him, or the poor and weak? I said: The poor and weak (follow him). He said: Are they increasing or decreasing in number? I said: They are increasing. He said: Does anyone leave his religion because he is displeased with it after entering it? I said: No. He said: Does he break his promises? I said: No, but now we have a truce with him and we are afraid that he may break the truce. Abu Sufyan said: Other than that, I could not find anything to say against him to undermine him, and I was afraid that that would be held against me. He said: Did you fight him or did he fight you? I said: Yes. He said: What was the outcome of your battles with him? I said: It varied; sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we were. He said: What does he enjoin you to do? I said: He enjoins us to worship Allah alone and not to associate anything with Him; he tells us not to worship what our fathers worshipped; and he enjoins us to pray, give charity, be chaste, keep promises and render back trusts. He said to his interpreter when I said that to him: Tell him: I asked about his lineage and you said that he has a noble lineage among you; this is how all the Messengers are, they are the nobles of their people. I asked you whether anyone among you had said this before, and you said no. I thought that if anyone among you had said this before, I would have said that he was a man who was following the example of someone who had said something similar before. I asked you whether you had accused him of lying before he said what he said, and you said no. Then I realised that the one who did not tell lies about people would never tell a lie about Allah. I asked you whether any of his forebears had been a king and you said no. I thought that if any of his forebears had been a king. I would have said that he was a man who was seeking his father's kingdom. I asked you whether the nobles among the people follow him or the weak and poor, and you said that the weak and poor follow him; they are always the followers of the Messengers. I asked you whether they were increasing or decreasing in number, and you said that they are increasing. This is how true faith is until it is complete. I asked you whether anyone leaves his religion because he is displeased with it after entering it, and you said no. This is how true faith is when its cheerfulness enters the heart and mixes with it: no one becomes displeased with it. I asked you whether he broke his promises and you said no; this is how the Messengers are. I asked you whether you had fought him or he had fought you and you said that this had happened, and that the outcome of the battles between you and him varied: sometimes he was victorious and sometimes you were. This is how the Messengers are; they are put to trial but the final victory is always theirs. I asked you what he enjoins you to do, and you said that he enjoins you to worship Allah alone and not to associate anything with Him; he tells you not to worship what your forefathers worshipped; and he enjoins you to give in charity, pray, be chaste, fulfill promises and render back trusts. This is the character of a Prophet who I knew would appear, but I did not think that he would be from among you. If what you have said to me is true, he will soon take possession of the land beneath my feet. By Allah, if I knew that I would definitely reach him, I would immediately go to meet him, and if I were with him I would wash his feet. Abu Sufyan said: Then he called for the letter of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and ordered that it be read out loud. In the letter he said: "In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the slave of Allah and His Messenger, to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantium. Peace be upon those who follow true guidance. I am calling you to Islam: become Muslim and you will be safe. Become Muslim and Allah will bestow upon you a double reward, but if you turn away, the sins of the peasants will be upon you. "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none but Allah (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: "Bear witness that we are Muslims" [Al ‘Imran 3:64]." Abu Sufyan said: When he finished his speech, the voices of the Byzantine leaders who were around him were raised, and there was so much noise that I could not understand what they said, Then he ordered that we be sent away. When I left with my companions and was alone with them, I said to them. The affair of Ibn Abi Kabshah[1] has gained power: this king of Banul-Asfar [the Byzantines] fears him. Abu Sufyan said: By Allah, I became humble after that and was certain that he would be victorious, until Allah instilled Islam in my heart even though I was reluctant. [1]A derogatory nickname by the Quraish to refer to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

"Whilst I was sleeping I saw two golden bangles placed on my hands, and I was frightened of them and disliked them. Then permission was given to me to blow them away, and they flew away. I interpreted it as referring to two liars who would appear." 'Ubaidullah said: One of them was al-'Ansi who was killed by Fairooz in Yemen, and the other was Musailimah.

I came, when I was at the age of puberty, riding on a female donkey when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was leading the people in prayer in Mina, and passed in front of part of the first row. Then I dismounted and she started to graze, and I joined the people behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

I entered upon Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) in the house of Maimoonah, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ), on a Friday morning; Maimoonah had given the house to him in her will. When he prayed Jumu’ah, some carpets would be spread out for him in it, and when he had finished [Jumu’ah], he would go there and sit there to meet people. A man asked him, when I was listening, about doing wudoo’ after [eating] food cooked by fire. Ibn ‘Abbas raised his hand to his eyes - and he had lost his sight - and said: These two eyes of mine saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) do wudoo' for Zuhr prayer in one of his apartments, then Bilal gave the call to prayer and he got up to leave. When he stood at the door of the apartment, he was given a gift of bread and meat that one of his Companions had sent to him. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went back, along with those who were with him, and the food was set out for them in the apartment. He ate and they ate, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got up, along with those who were with him, to pray and neither he nor the people with him touched water (did wudoo’). Then he led them in prayer. And Ibn 'Abbas only reached an age at which he could understand the words and conduct of the Prophet (ﷺ) towards the end of the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) circumambulated [the Ka'bah] on his camel, and every time he came to the Corner, he pointed at it and said takbeer.

Banu Sa'd bin Bakr sent Dimam bin Tha’labah to meet the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He came to him and made his camel kneel at the door of the mosque, then he hobbled it, and he entered the mosque when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting with his Companions. Dimam was a tough and hairy man with two braids. He came and stood over the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his Companions and said: Which of you is the son of 'Abdul-Muttalib? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I am the son of 'Abdul-Muttalib." He said: Muhammad? He said: "Yes." He said: O son of 'Abdul-Muttalib, I am going to ask you some questions and I will be tough in my questioning, so do not be upset. He said: “I will not be upset. Ask whatever you want." He said: I adjure you by Allah your God, the God of those who came before you and the God of those who come after you, has Allah sent you to us as a Messenger? He said: “Yes, by Allah.” He said: I adjure you by Allah your God, the God of those who came before you and the God of those who come after you, has Allah commanded you to instruct us to worship Him alone, not associating anything with Him, and to give up these rivals whom our forefathers worshipped alongside Him? He said: “Yes, by Allah." He said: I adjure you by Allah your God, the God of those who came before you and the God of those who come after you, has Allah commanded you to instruct us to offer these five prayers? He said: “Yes, by Allah." Then he started asking about the duties of Islam, one by one: zakah, fasting and Hajj, and all the laws of Islam, adjuring him each time as he adjured him previously until, when he had finished, he said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I shall do these duties and avoid what you have forbidden to me, no more and no less. Then he went back to his camel and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said when he left: "If the one with the two braids meant what he said, he will enter Paradise.” [The man] went to his camel, unhobbled it and departed. He came to his people, who gathered around him, and the first thing he said was: How bad al-Lat and al-'Uzza are! They said: Be quiet, O Dimam! Fear leprosy and elephantiasis for yourself; fear insanity. He said: Woe to you; by Allah they cannot do any harm or bring any benefit. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has sent a Messenger and revealed a Book to him that will save you from what you are in. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, with no partner or associate, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. I have come to you from him with what he enjoins upon you and forbids to you. By Allah, by the time evening came, there was no one present, man woman, who had not become Muslim. Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: We have never heard of any delegate of a people better than Dimam bin Tha'labah.

And he narrated the same report in brief.

The fear prayer was just like the prayer of these guards of yours today behind your imam, except that it was done by one group after another, although they were all with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). One group prostrated with him, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and those who had been standing up by themselves prostrated, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and they all stood up with him. Then they all bowed with him, then he prostrated, and those who had been standing up the first time prostrated, and those who had prostrated the first time stood up. And when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and those who had prostrated with him sat at the end of the prayer, those who had been standing by themselves prostrated, then they sat, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led them all in saying the tasleem.

"Do ghusl on Friday, and wash your heads, even if you are not junub, and put on perfume." And Ibn 'Abbas said: As for perfume, I do not know, but as for ghusl, then yes.

[Al ‘Imran 3:64] to the end of the verse.

Rukanah bin 'Abd Yazeed, a man of Banul-Muttalib, divorced his wife thrice in one sitting, then he missed her sorely. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked him: “How did you divorce her?" He said: I divorced her thrice. He said: “In one sitting?" He said: Yes. He said: “That is only one divorce (talaq); take her back if you want." So he took her back, Ibn 'Abbas thought that talaq is only to be done just after the woman becomes pure from menses.

"When your brothers were slain at Uhud, Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, put their souls in the crops of green birds that drink from the rivers of Paradise and eat from its fruits, and they return to roost in golden lamps in the shade of the Throne. When they saw how good their drink and food are and how good the place where they stay, they said: O Lord, would that our brothers knew what Allah has done for us, so they would not lose interest in jihad or abandon fighting. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, said: I shall convey that to them for you. And Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed these verses to His Messenger: “Think not of those as dead who are killed" [Al ‘Imran 3:169].

Two angels came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in a dream, and one of them sat at his feet and the other at his head. The one who sat by his feet said to the one who sat by his head: Give a likeness of this man and his ummah. He said: The likeness of him and his ummah is that of some people who were travelling and came to the edge of a wilderness, and they had no provision with which to cross the wilderness or to travel back. Whilst they were like that, a man in a striped suit came to them and said: What do you think if I were to take you to a place with green meadows and plentiful water, would you follow me? They said: Yes. So he set out with them and led them to a place with green meadows and abundant water, where they ate and drank and grew healthy. Then he said to them: Did I not find you in that state, and you promised me that if I led you to a place with green meadows and abundant water, you would follow me? They said: Yes. He said: Ahead of you is a garden that is greener than this and water that is more plentiful, so follow me. Some of them said: He is telling the truth by Allah; let us follow him. Others said: We are pleased with this and we will stay here.

Two men came to the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) with the same need. One of them spoke, and the Prophet (ﷺ) noticed a bad smell from his mouth, so he said to him: "Why don't you use the miswak?"

A man asked Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) about doing ghusl on Friday: is it obligatory? He said: No, but whoever wishes may do ghusl, and I will tell you how ghusl was first prescribed. The people were poor and they used to wear wool, and they would carry water to the palm trees on their backs. The mosque of the Prophet (ﷺ) was small, with a low ceiling, so the people in their woollen garments would start to sweat. The minbar of the Prophet (ﷺ) was short; it only had three steps. So the people would sweat in their wool, and their smell and the smell of the wool would become prominent, and thus they bothered one another, until the smell reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was on the minbar.

He said: [Yes], her husband is away. ‘Umar said: Go to Abu Bakr and ask him. So he went to Abu Bakr and told him (what had happened). Abu Bakr said: Woe to you! Perhaps her husband is away? He said: Yes, he is away. Abu Bakr said: Go to the Prophet (ﷺ) and tell him. So he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and told him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Perhaps her husband is away?" He said: Her husband is away. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) remained silent, and Qur'an was revealed: "And perform As-Salat (Iqamatas-Salat), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i.e. the five compulsory Salat (prayers)].” [Hood 11:114].

Then it was said to me: ‘Look at the other horizon,’ and there was (another) huge multitude. It was said to me: ‘This is your ummah, and among them are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being called to account or punished.’" Then the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and went into his house, and the people started discussing and said: Who are those who will enter Paradise without being called to account or being punished? Some of them said: Perhaps they are the ones who accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Some said: Perhaps they are those who were born in Islam and never associated anything with Allah. And they mentioned several ideas. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out and said: “What are you discussing?" They told him, and he said: “They are the ones who did not use cautery or ask anyone to perform ruqyah for them, and were not superstitious, and they put their trust in their Lord." ‘Ukkashah bin Mihsan stood up and said: Will I be one of them, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “You will be one of them.” Another man stood up and said: Will I be one of them, O Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “‘Ukkashah has beaten you to it."

O Messenger of Allah, (what about) our companions who have died and who used to drink it? Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: "Those who believe and do righteous good deeds, there is no sin on them for what they ate (in the past)...” [al-Ma'idah 5:93].

Allah took the covenant from the loins of Adam in Na’man - i.e., 'Arafah.

They said: ‘Yes! We testify,’ lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: ‘Verily, we have been unaware of this.’ Or lest you should say: ‘It was only our fathers aforetime who took others as partners in worship along with Allah, and we were (merely their) descendants after them; will You then destroy us because of the deeds of men who practised Al-Batil (i.e., polytheism and committing crimes and sins, invoking and worshipping others besides Allah)?’” [al-A'raf 7:172,173].

A man of Banu Sulaim passed by a group of the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) driving some sheep of his, and he greeted them with salam. They said: He only greeted you with salam to protect himself from you. So they went to him and killed him, then they took his sheep and brought them to the Prophet (ﷺ). Then Allah revealed the words: “O you who believe! When you go (to fight) in the Cause of Allah, verify (the truth), and say not to anyone who greets you (by embracing Islam): ‘You are not a believer'...” [an-Nisa' 4:94].

"You (true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and his Sunnah) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'roof (i.e., Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden)" [Al 'Imran 3:110] that he said: They are the ones who migrated with Muhammad (ﷺ) to Madinah.

O Abul-Qasim, tell us about some matters we are going to ask you about, which no one will know except a Prophet. Among the things that they asked him was: What food did Isra'eel forbid to himself before the Torah was revealed? He said: “I adjure you by Allah, Who revealed the Torah to Moosa, do you know that Isra'eel Ya'qoob (عليه السلام) became very sick and his sickness lasted for a long time, then he vowed that if Allah healed him from his sickness, he would forbid to himself the drink that he liked best and the food that he liked best. The food that he liked best was camel meat and the drink that he liked best was camel's milk.” They said: Yes, by Allah.

Umm Aiman screamed and it was said: Are you weeping in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? She said: Don't I see you weeping, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “I am not weeping; rather it is compassion. The believer is fine in all situations: his soul comes out of his body whilst He is still praising Allah, may He be glorified and exalted.”

The first people to ask the Prophet (ﷺ) about that was the delegation of ‘Abdul-Qais. They said: We drink the dregs; what kind of vessels should we use? He said: “Do not drink from gourds, varnished jars, hollowed out stumps or green glazed pitchers; drink from waterskins.” Then he said: "Allah has forbidden to me - or has forbidden - intoxicants, gambling and kettledrums, and every intoxicant is haram.”

The jinn used to listen to the Revelation; they would hear a word and add ten to it, and what they heard was true and what they added was false. [Shooting] stars were not used to target the jinn before that. When the Prophet (ﷺ) was sent, one of them would not come to a position to listen but a (shooting) star would be aimed at him, and it would burn whatever it hit. They complained about that to Iblees and he said: This can only be because of something that has happened. He sent his troops and they saw the Prophet (ﷺ) praying between the two mountains at Nakhlah. They came and told him about that and he said: This is what has happened on earth.

O Abul-Qasim, we are going to ask you about five things; if you tell us what we know about them, then you are indeed a Prophet (ﷺ) and we will follow you. He took a promise from them as Isra'eel took a promise from his sons when they said: "Allah is the Witness to what we have said” (Yoosuf 12:66). He said: "Let's hear it." They said: Tell us about the sign of a Prophet. He said: “His eyes sleep but his heart does not sleep.” They said: Tell us how can a woman give birth to a female or a male? He said: “The two waters meet and if the man's water prevails over the woman's, she will give birth to a male, but if the woman's water prevails, she will give birth to a female." They said: Tell us what Isra'eel forbade to himself. He said: “He suffered from sciatica and could not find anything to help him except the milk of such and such" - my father said: meaning camel's milk so he forbade (camel meat) to himself." They said: You are right. They said: Tell us about thunder. He said: “One of the angels of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, is in charge of the clouds. In his hand is a whip of fire with which he collects the clouds and drives them wherever Allah commands.” They said: What is this sound that we hear? He said: “His voice.” They said: You are right; there is only one question left, and it is the one that will decide whether we swear allegiance to you. There is no Prophet but he has an angel who brings news to him; tell us who your angel is. He said: "Jibreel (عليه السلام).” They said: Jibreel! He is the one who brings down war, fighting and punishment; he is our enemy. If you had said Mika'eel, who brings down mercy, plants and rain, it would have been fine. Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: “Whoever is an enemy to Jibreel (Gabriel) (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'an) down to your heart by Allah's Permission, confirming what came before it [i.e., the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and guidance and glad tidings for the believers” (al-Baqarah 2:97).

"Whoever sees something in his leader that he dislikes, let him be patient, for whoever differs a handspan from the main body of the Muslims (jama'ah) and dies, his death will be a death of Jahiliyyah.”

He stayed overnight with the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) one night. The Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah got up at night, and went out and looked at the sky, then he recited this verse from Al ‘Imran: “Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day - up to glory to - You! (Exalted are You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire" (Al 'Imran 3:190, 191). Then he went back to the house and cleaned his teeth with the siwak and did wudoo’, then he got up and prayed, then he lay down. Then he got up again and looked at the sky, then he recited this verse; then he went back and cleaned his teeth with the siwak and did wudoo’, then he got up and prayed, then he lay down. Then he went again and looked at the sky, then he recited this verse, then he went back and cleaned his teeth with the siwak and did wudoo’, then he got up and prayed.

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Allah hears the one who praises Him," he said: "O Allah our Lord, to You be praise filling the heaven, filling the earth and filling whatever else You will.

It was suggested to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that he should marry the daughter of Hamzah. He said: "She is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding, and what becomes mahram (forbidden for marriage) through breastfeeding is that which becomes mahram through blood ties.”

‘Ali spoke to the Prophet (ﷺ) about the daughter of Hamzah and mentioned how beautiful she was. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "She is the daughter of my brother through breastfeeding." Then the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Do you not know that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, makes mahram (forbidden for marriage) through breastfeeding that which He makes mahram through blood ties?"

He did not see anything wrong with a man getting married whilst in ihram, and he said: The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) married Maimoonah bint al-Harith at an oasis called Sarif, when he was in ihram. And when the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) completed his Hajj, he moved on and when he was at that oasis he consummated the marriage with her.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by a man whose thigh was showing. He said: "Cover your thigh, for a man's thigh is part of his ‘awrah."

Which of the two recitations came at a later date, the recitation of 'Abdullah or the recitation of Zaid? He said: We said: The recitation of Zaid. He said: No, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to review the Qur'an with Jibreel every year, and in the year in which he died, he reviewed it with him twice, and the last recitation was the recitation of 'Abdullah.

"Alif-Lam-Meem. (These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.) The Romans have been defeated" (ar-Room 30:1-2): They were defeated then they prevailed. The mushrikeen wanted the Persians to prevail against the Byzantines because they were idol-worshippers, and the Muslims wanted the Byzantines to prevail against the Persians, because they were people of the Book. They mentioned this to Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “They will prevail.” Abu Bakr mentioned that to them and they said: Set a deadline: if we prevail, we will have such and such, and if you prevail, you will have such and such. So they set a deadline of five years, but they did not prevail. Abu Bakr mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said:“Why didn't you make it within ten years?” - Sa'eed bin Jubair said: Less than ten years - Then the Byzantines prevailed after that. That is what Allah said: “Alif-Lam-Meem. The Romans have been defeated... And on that day, the believers (i.e., Muslims) will rejoice (at the victory given by Allah to the Romans against the Persians) - With the Help of Allah” (ar-Room 30:1-5).

‘Abdullah bin 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) came and asked for permission to enter upon 'A'ishah. I (Dhakwan) came and found that her brother's son, 'Abdullah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman, was with her. I said: Ibn ‘Abbas is here, asking for permission to come in. Her nephew 'Abdullah came to her and bent down, and said: 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas is asking permission to come in. This was when she was dying. She said: Keep Ibn 'Abbas away from me. He said: O my mother, Ibn ‘Abbas is one of your righteous sons; let him greet you and bid you farewell. She said: Let him in if you want. So I let him and, and when he sat down he said: Be of good cheer. She said: You too. He said: There is nothing between you and meeting Muhammad (ﷺ) and the beloved ones except the departure of the soul from the body. You were the dearest of the wives of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to the Messenger of Allah, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would not have loved anyone but one who was good. Your necklace was lost on the night of al-Abwa', and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stayed to look for it and in the morning he found himself and the people with no water. Then Allah revealed the words “perform Tayummum with clean earth" (al-Ma'idah 4:43). That was because of you, the concession that Allah granted to this ummah. And Allah revealed your innocence from above the seven heavens and Jibreel brought it, and there is no mosque in which Allah is remembered but this verse is recited night and day therein. She said: Leave me alone, O Ibn 'Abbas. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, would that I had been forgotten and out of sight! (cf. 19.23).

You were called Ummul-Mu'mineen so as to be blessed; it was your name before you were born.

We were with Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) and they mentioned the Dajjal, saying that written between his eyes will be (the letters) kaf, fa', ra'. He said: What are you saying? He said: They are saying that written between his eyes will be (the letters) kaf, fa', ra'. Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: I did not hear him say this; rather he said: "As for Ibraheem (عليه السلام), look at your companion (meaning himself). As for Moosa (عليه السلام), he was dark with curly hair, riding a red camel with reins of palm-fibres. It is as if I can see him going down into the valley, reciting the Talbiyah.”

They mentioned him - meaning the Dajjal - and he said: Written between his eyes will be (the letters) kaf, fa’, ra'. Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: I did not hear him say that; rather he said: "As for Ibraheem (عليه السلام) look at your companion - Yazeed said: meaning himself (رضي الله عنه) - And as for Moosa (عليه السلام), he was dark with curly hair, tall, riding a red camel with reins of palm-fibres. It is as if I can see him going down into the valley, reciting the Talbiyah."

I think he attributed it to the Prophet (ﷺ) - instructed a caller to call out on a rainy day: “Pray where you are (where your mounts or tents are).”

I saw the Prophet standing in ‘Arafat, with al-Fadl seated behind him on his mount. A Bedouin came and stood nearby, with a slave woman behind him, and al-Fadl started looking at her. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) noticed that, and started turning his face away, Then he said: "O people, it is not righteousness to move quickly with camels and horses; you should be calm." Then he moved on, and I never saw any camel raising its feet and running, until he came to Muzdalifah. When he halted in Muzdalifah, he seated Usamah behind him on his mount, then he said: "O people, it is not righteousness to move quickly with camels and horses; you should be calm.” Then he moved on, and I never saw any camel raising its feet and running, until he came to Mina. And we came with a multitude of the weak of Banu Hashim on donkeys of theirs, and he started patting our thighs and saying: "O my sons, move on, but do not stone the Jamrah until the sun rises."

“As far as they are concerned, they had heard that the angels do not enter a house in which there is an image. This is an image of Ibraheem, why is he casting arrows?"

O Kuraib (go and) see how many people have gathered (to offer the funeral prayer) for him. So I went out and saw that some people had gathered (to offer the funeral prayer) for him. So I told him and he said: Are there forty? I said: Yes. He said: Bring him out, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "There is no Muslim who dies, and forty men who do not associate anything with Allah stand to offer the funeral prayer for him, but Allah will accept their intercession for him.”

A man set out and two men followed him, and another man followed them, saying: Go back. So they went back, He said to him: These are two devils, and I kept on at them until I sent them back. When you go to the Prophet (ﷺ), convey our salams to him and tell him that I am collecting their zakah; if it was good for him we would have sent it to him. As a result of that, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade travelling alone.

We have never seen anyone who was a greater supporter of the Shi'i view than ‘Adiyy bin Thabit.

“The price of a dog is evil.” He said: "If he comes to you asking for the price of the dog, fill his palms with dust."

O Abu ‘Abbas, what about this verdict that may become widespread among the people, that whoever circumambulates the Ka'bah may exit ihram? He said: This is the Sunnah of your Prophet (ﷺ) , even if you do not like it.

O Abul-Qasim, tell us about some matters that we want to ask you about, that no one knows except a Prophet. He said: “Ask me whatever you want, but give me a promise by Allah and the promise that Ya'qoob (عليه السلام) took from his sons, that if I tell you what you recognize, you will follow me in Islam.” They said: We agree. He said: "Then ask me whatever you want." They said: Tell us about four things that we are going to ask you about: tell us about the food that Isra'eel forbade to himself before the Torah was revealed, tell us how the woman's water and the man's water are and how the male can come from it, tell us how this unlettered Prophet (ﷺ) is when he sleeps, and tell who his companion among the angels is. He said: "You are bound by the promise and covenant of Allah, that if I tell you, you will follow me.” And they gave him the promise and covenant he wanted. He said: “I adjure you by the One Who revealed the Torah to Moosa (عليه السلام), do you know that Isra'eel Ya'qoob (عليه السلام) became very sick and his sickness lasted for a long time, then he made a vow to Allah that if Allah healed him from his sickness, he would forbid to himself the dearest of drinks and food to himself, the dearest of food to him was camel meat and the dearest of drinks was camel's milk?" They said: Yes, by Allah. He said: "O Allah, bear witness over them. I adjure you by Allah, besides Whom there is no other god, who revealed the Torah to Moosa, do you know that the water of the man is white and thick, and the water of the woman is yellow and thin, and whichever of them prevails, the child will resemble him or her; if the man's water prevails over the woman's the child will be male by Allah's leave, and if the woman's water prevails over the man's, the child will be female by Allah's leave?” They said: Yes, by Allah. He said: "O Allah, bear witness over them. I adjure you by Allah, Who revealed the Torah to Moosa, do you know that the eyes of this unlettered Prophet sleep, but his heart does not sleep?" They said: Yes, by Allah. He said: "O Allah, bear witness over them.” They said: Now tellus; who is your companion among the angels? For this is what will decide whether we join you or keep away from you." He said: "My companion is Jibreel (عليه السلام); Allah never sent any Prophet but he was his helper." They said: in that case we will keep away from you; if your helper was anyone else among the angels, we would have followed you and believed you. He said: “What is keeping you from believing him?” They said: He is our enemy. At that point Allah said: “Say (O Muhammad (ﷺ)); Whoever is an enemy to Jibreel (Gabriel) (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'an) down to your heart by Allah's Permission - up to - the Book of Allah behind their backs as if they did not know!" (al-Baqarah 2:97-101). At that point, “So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath" (al-Baqarah 2:90).

Ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent the sacrificial animals with so and so, and told him what to do with them. When he left, he came back and said, O Messenger of Allah, what should I do if any of them slow me down? He said: "Slaughter it and dip its sandals (with which it is garlanded] in its blood and mark its sides with it, and do not eat any of it or let any of the people with you eat from it.” I said to him. During these military campaigns I acquire slaves as part of my booty and I set them free on behalf of my mother; will it be valid for her if I do that? Ibn 'Abbas said: The wife of Sinan bin 'Abdullah al-Juhani instructed Sinan to ask the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about her mother who had died and had not performed Hajj - would it be acceptable for her to do Hajj on her behalf? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Do you think that if her mother owed a debt and she paid it off for her, that it would be acceptable on behalf of her mother?" He said: Yes, He said: "Let her do Hajj on behalf of her mother." And he asked him about sea water, and he said: "Sea water is a means of purification.”

"Your Lord, may He be blessed and exalted, is Merciful. Whoever thinks of a good deed and does not do it, one hasanah will be recorded for him, and if he does it, it will be recorded for him, tenfold up to seven hundredfold, multiplied many times. Whoever thinks of a bad deed and does not do it, one hasanah will be recorded for him, and if he does it, it will be recorded as one sayyi'ah, or Allah will overlook it. No one can fail except one who is doomed to Hell."

“Ya sabahah, ya sabahah (be on your guard)!” Quraish gathered and said to him: What is the matter? He said: “Do you think if I told you that the enemy is about to attack you in the morning or the evening. would you believe me?” They said: Of course. He said: “I am a warner to you of an imminent severe punishment." Abu Lahab said: Is it for this that you called us together? May you perish! Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: "Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet) and perish he!", to the end of the soorah (al-Masad 111).

"There was no Prophet but he had a supplication that was fulfilled for him in this world, but I have saved my supplication to be an intercession for my ummah. I will be the leader of the sons of Adam on the Day of Resurrection, and no boast. I will be the first one for whom the earth is split, and no boast. In my hands will be a banner of praise, and no boast. Adam and all others will be under my banner, and no boast. The Day of Resurrection will be very long for the people, and they will say to one another: ‘Let us go to Adam, the father of mankind, so that he might intercede with our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, to judge among us.' So they will go to Adam and will say: O Adam, you are the one whom Allah created with His own hand: He caused you to dwell in Paradise and He commanded His angels to prostrate to you; intercede for us with your Lord so that He might judge among us." He will say: 'I am not able for that; I was expelled from Paradise because of my sin. I am not concerned about anyone today except myself. Rather go to Nooh, the head of the Prophets.' So they will go to Nooh and will say: 'O Nooh, intercede for us with our Lord, that He might judge among us.' He will say: ‘I am not able for that; I offered supplication because of which all the people of earth were drowned. I am not concerned about anyone today except myself. Rather go to Ibraheem the Close Friend (Khaleel) of Allah.' So they will go to Ibraheem (عليه السلام) and will say, 'O Ibraheem, intercede for us with our Lord so that He may judge among us.' But he will say: 'I am not able for that; I told three lies for the sake of Islam’ - and by Allah all he wanted to do was to argue for the sake of the religion of Allah when he said: ‘Verily, I am sick' (as-Saffat 37:89) and ‘Nay, this one, the biggest of them (idols) did it. Ask them, if they can speak!" (al-Anbiya' 21:63). And he said of his wife when he came to the king, ‘she is my sister' - 'I am not concerned about anyone else today except myself. Rather go to Moosa (عليه السلام), whom Allah chose to send with His message and He spoke to him.’ So they will go to him and will say: ‘O Moosa, you are the one whom Allah chose for His message and He spoke to you; intercede for us with our Lord so that He might judge among us.' He will say: 'I am not able for that, for I killed a soul unlawfully. I am not concerned about anyone today except myself. Rather go to ‘Eesa, the Spirit of Allah and His Word.’ So they will go to ‘Eesa and will say: ‘Intercede for us with your Lord, that He might judge among us.' But he will say: 'I am not able for that, for I was taken as a god instead of Allah. I am not concerned about anyone today except myself. But if there was something in the vessel and it was sealed, would anyone be able to get what is in it unless he undoes the seal?" They will say: 'No.' He will say: “Muhammad is the Seal of the Prophets; he has just come today and his previous and future sins have been forgiven.’” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “So they will come to me and will say: ‘O Muhammad, intercede for us with your Lord, so that He might judge among us.’ I will say: ‘I am able for it, when Allah gives leave for whom He wills and is pleased with.’ When Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, wants to judge between His creation, a caller will call out: ‘Where is Muhammad and his ummah? For we are the last and the first; we are the last of the nations and the first to be brought to account. So the other nations will make way for us, and we will start moving with faces and limbs that are bright with the traces of wudoo’. The other nations will say: ‘Nearly all of this ummah are almost Prophets. Then I will come to the gate of Paradise and will take hold of the ring in the gate and knock on it. It will be said: ‘Who are you? I will say: 'I am Muhammad.’ It will be opened for me, and I will come to my Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, on His Throne. I will fall down in prostration before Him and I will praise Him in words of praise that no one who said before me and no one will say after me. It will be said: 'O Muhammad, raise your head; ask and you will be given, speak and you will be heard, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my head and say: ‘O Lord, my ummah, my ummah. He will say: ‘Bring forth whoever has in his heart faith the weight of such and such.’ Then I will go back and prostrate, and I will say what I said before. It will be said: ‘Raise your head; speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my head and say: 'O Lord, my ummah, my ummah.’ He will say: ‘Bring forth whoever has in his heart faith the weight of such and such' - less than the first time. Then I will go back and prostrate, and I will say what I said before. It will be said: ‘Raise your head; speak and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my head and say: 'O Lord, my ummah, my ummh. He will say: ‘Bring forth whoever has in his heart faith the weight of such and such' - less than that."

Someone came to me in a dream during Ramadan, and it was said to me: Tonight is Lailatal-Qadr. So I got up, although I was drowsy, and I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and found him praying. I looked to see what night that was, and it was the night of the twenty-third.

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came (to Madinah) they used to pay in advance for crops. He said: “Whoever pays in advance, let him not pay in advance except for a known measure and a known weight."

“I have only been commanded to do wudoo’ when I get up to pray."

In Maghrib prayer I recite Qul A'oodhu bi Rabbil-falaq and Qul A'oodhu bi Rabbin-Nas, and some people criticise me for that. He said: What is wrong with that? Recite them, for they are from the Qur'an. Then he said: Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and prayed two rak’ahs in which he did not recite anything but the Essence of the Book (i.e., al-Fatihah).

Some of these heretics were brought to ‘Ali and they had some books with them. He issued orders that a fire be lit, then he burned them and their books. News of that reached Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) and he said: If it were me, I would not have burned them because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade it; but I would have executed them because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Do not punish with the punishment of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted.”

‘Ali caught some people who had apostatised from Islam, and he burned them with fire. News of that reached Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) and he said: If it were me, I would not have burned them. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Do not punish anyone with the punishment of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted.” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever changes his religion, execute him." News of what Ibn 'Abbas said reached ‘Ali and he said: Woe to the son of the mother of Ibn 'Abbas!

I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) in a dream when I slept in the middle of the day. He was standing, looking dishevelled and dusty, with a bottle in his hand in which there was blood. I said: May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah. What is this? He said: This is the blood of al-Husain and his companions. I have been collecting it all day. We worked out that day, and we found that it was the day on which he was killed.

"Teach and make things easy, do not make things difficult. And if you get angry, keep quiet; if you get angry, keep quiet; if you get angry, keep quiet."

The Prophet (ﷺ) put Zuhr and ‘Asr together in Madinah, when he was not travelling and there was no fear. I (the narrator) said: O Abul-'Abbas, why did he do that? He said: He did not want to make things difficult for anyone of his ummah.

The Prophet (ﷺ) went to the outhouse and relieved himself, then some food was brought to him. They said: Should we bring you water for wudoo? He said: “Why should I do wudoo? When I want to pray, I will do wudoo’.”

I slept in the house of my maternal aunt Maimoonah bint al-Harith. The Prophet (ﷺ) got up at night and went to relieve himself, then he came and washed his face and hands, then he slept. Then he got up at night and went to the waterskin and undid its straps, then he did a wudoo’ that was somewhere between the most complete and the most light; he did not use a lot of water but it was a proper wudoo’. Then he stood and prayed. I hid myself because I did not want him to see me watching him. Then I got up and did the same as he had done, and I stood on his left. He took hold of my neck, where the ear is, and moved me around until I was standing on his right whilst he was praying. He prayed thirteen rak'ahs, including the two [Sunnah] rak'ahs of Fajr. Then he lay down and slept until he breathed deeply, Then Bilal came and called him to pray, so he got up and prayed and did not do wudoo’ [again].

The Prophet (ﷺ) got married whilst he was in ihram, and he was treated with cupping whilst he was in ihram.

O Messenger of Allah, whatever Allah wills and you will. He said: "Are you making me equal to Allah? Rather what Allah alone wills.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) entered the House and offered supplication in different parts of it, then he came out and prayed two rak'ahs.

Someone who heard Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told me that he said: The Prophet (ﷺ) did not halt between 'Arafat and Muzdalifah except to pass water.

I stayed overnight in the house of my maternal aunt Maimoonah, and I watched to see how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would pray. He got up, urinated, then washed his face and hands, then he slept. Then he got up and went to a waterskin, undid its straps, and poured some water into a bowl or vessel. He tipped it towards himself with his hand and did a good wudoo’, not using too much or too little water. Then I came and stood beside him, and stood on his left. He took hold of me and made me stand on his right. The prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) included thirteen rak'ahs, then he slept until he was breathing deeply. We knew that he was sleeping when he breathed deeply. Then he went out to pray, and he prayed, and said in his prayer or in his prostration: "O Allah, put in my heart light, in my hearing light, in my seeing light, to my right light, to my left light, in front of me light, behind me light, above me light, below me light, make me light - or Shu'bah said: give me light." 'Umar bin Deenar narrated from Kuraib, from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that he slept lying on his side.

My maternal aunt Umm Hufaid gave the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) some ghee, milk and a (cooked) lizard. As for the lizard, the Prophet (ﷺ) found it off-putting. Khalid bin al-Waleed said to him: Do you find it off-putting, O Messenger of Allah? He said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) took the milk and drank some, then he said to Ibn 'Abbas, who was on his right, "As for the drink, it is your turn, but will you give me permission to give it to your paternal uncle?” Ibn 'Abbas said: I said: No, by Allah, with regard to your left-over drink I will never give precedence to anyone. Then I took it and drank some, then I gave it to him. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I do not know of any drink that could replace food except milk. Whoever among you drinks it, let him say: ‘O Allah, bless it for us and give us more.' And whoever eats food, let him say: 'O Allah, bless it for us and give us something better than it.’"

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) relieved himself, then he came back and was given a bone with meat on it. He did not do wudoo', but he ate from it. 'Amr added to this hadeeth: It was narrated that Sa'eed bin al-Huwairith said: It was said: O Messenger of Allah, you did not do wudoo’. He said: "I do not intend to pray, such that I would need to do wudoo’.

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drank, he would pause to breathe twice whilst drinking. And my father wrote after this hadeeth: I do not think 'Abdullah heard this hadeeth (directly).

I stayed with Maimoonah the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) who was my maternal aunt, on a night when she was not praying. She took a cloth and folded it up, and put a pillow on top of it, then she threw another cloth over it and covered herself with it. She spread out another mat for me and I put my head on the same pillow as her. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came when he had prayed 'Isha', and he took a cloth and wrapped himself in it, and took off his garment, then he lay down with her under the same blanket. Then at the end of the night, he got up and went to a waterskin that was hanging and shook it. I wanted to get up and pour water for him, but I did not want him to know that I was awake. He did wudoo’, then he went to the bed and put on his two garments and took off the wrapper. Then he went to the mosque, where he stood and prayed. I went to the waterskin and did wudoo', then I came to the mosque and stood on his left, but he moved me and made me stand on his right. He prayed and I prayed, thirteen rak'ahs, then he lay down and I lay down beside him. He put his elbow on my side and his check was next to my cheek until I heard the breathing of one who is asleep. Then Bilal came and said: Prayer, O Messenger of Allah. He went to the mosque and I followed him, and he prayed the two (Sunnah) rak'ahs of Fajr, then Bilal began to recite the iqamah.

He did not see anything wrong with a man getting married whilst in ihram, and he said: The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) married Maimoonah bint al-Harith at an oasis called Sarif when he was in Isram.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us and told us not to do something that was beneficial for us, and the command of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is better for us than that which he told us not to do. He said: “Whoever has land, let him cultivate it or leave it, or lend it to someone else to cultivate for free." He said: I mentioned that to Tawoos, and he thought that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) was one of the most knowledgeable of them. He said: Ibn ‘Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) only said, "Whoever has land, lending it to his brother for free is better for him.”

“Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee therefore, save loving kindness among kinsfolk” (ash-Shoora 42:23). He said: Sa'eed bin Jubair said: It means loving kindness towards the family of Muhammad. Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: You have been too hasty (in interpreting it)! There was no clan among Quraish but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was connected to it by ties of blood. He said: (What it means is) except that you uphold the ties of kinship between you and me.

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was in ihram, and he fell from his mount, and immediately died.

The victory of Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, was never so great as on the day of Uhud. He said: We disagreed with that, but Ibn 'Abbas said: Between me and those who disagree with me stands the book of Allah, may He be blessed and exalted. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says concerning the day of Uhud: "And Allah did indeed fulfill His Promise to you when you were killing them (your enemy) with His Permission; But surely. He forgave you, and Allah is Most Gracious to the believers" (Al 'Imran 3:152). What was meant by that was the archers. The Prophet (ﷺ) posted them in a (particular) place then he said: “Protect our backs; if you see us being killed, do not come to our aid, and if you see us capturing booty, do not come and join us." When the Prophet (ﷺ) began to take booty and they ransacked the camp of the mushrikeen, all the archers ran and entered the camp to join in the plundering, and the ranks of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) all gathered like this - and he interlaced the fingers of both hands - and they were all together. When the archers left this gap unprotected that they had been covering, the (enemy) cavalry entered from that place and attacked the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ), who began to strike one another in a state of confusion. Many of the Muslims were killed, even though at the beginning of the day, the battle had been in favour of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions, to such an extent that seven or nine (mushrik) banner carriers had been killed. The Muslims rushed towards the mountain but they could not get there as people were shouting, To the cave!, because they were being attacked and crushed. The Shaitan shouted, Muhammad has been killed!, and no one doubted that it was true. We remained like that, not doubting that he had been killed, until the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) appeared between the two Sa’ds, and we recognized him from the way he leaned forward when he walked. Then we rejoiced as if nothing had happened to us. He came and climbed up towards us, saying: “Allah's anger is great against those who bloodied the face of His Messenger." Then he said: “O Allah, it is not right for them to prevail over us,” and then he reached us, A short time passed, then Abu Sufyan appeared, yelling at the bottom of the mountain: Cause your religion to prevail, O Hubal - twice - meaning: show your superiority, Hubal (and vindicate your religion), where is Ibn Abi Kabshah? Where is Ibn Abi Quhafah? When is Ibn al-Khattab? 'Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, shouldn't I answer him? He said: "Yes." When he said: Cause your religion to prevail, O Hubal, ‘Umar said: Allah is Most High and Most Glorious! He (Abu Sufyan) said: O son of al-Khattab, where is Ibn Abi Kabshah? Where is Ibn Abi Quhafah? Where is Ibn al-Khattab? 'Umar said, Here is the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), here is Abu Bakr, and here l am, 'Umar. Abu Sufyan said: A day in return for the day of Badr; days alternate and war goes in turns. ‘Umar said: We are not equal: our slain are in Paradise and your slain are in Hell. (Abu Sufyan) said: That's what you say! If that is true then we are doomed and lost. Then Abu Sufyan said: You will find among your slain some who have been mutilated, it was not on the orders of our commanders. Then his jahili attitude caught up with him and he said: Indeed that is what happened - and he did not say anything to indicate disapproval.

How much water is enough for wudoo’? He said: A mudd. He said: How much is sufficient for ghusl? He said: A sa'. The man said: That is not enough for me. He said: May you have no mother! It was enough for one who is better than you, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out, covering his head with his garment, and said: “O people, the people are increasing in number and the Ansar are decreasing.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his companions came (to Makkah) when the fever of Yathrib had weakened them, and the mushrikeen said: There have come to you people who have been weakened by fever. Allah informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of that, so he instructed his Companions to trot (raml), as the mushrikeen were sitting near the Hijr, watching them. They trotted (raml), and walked between the two corners, and the mushrikeen said: Are these the ones who you said have been weakened by the fever? These are stronger than such and such. Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: Nothing prevented him from telling them to trot in all the circuits except kindness towards them.

How old was the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the day he died? He said: I did not think that a man of such standing among his people as you would be unaware of that.

"O people, Hajj has been prescribed for you," al-Aqra’ bin Habis stood up and said: Is it every year, O Messenger of Allah?

Hajj is once (in a lifetime) and whoever does more, it is voluntary."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Madinah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of ‘Ashoora". He said: “What is this day on which you fast?” They said: This is a good day; it is the day on which Allah saved the Children of Israel from their enemy, so Moosa fasted on this day. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I am more entitled to (be close to) Moosa than you." So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fasted on that day and enjoined fasting thereon.

And we did not know that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had used this as a likeness until Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) told us that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The one who takes back his gift is like the dog that vomits, then goes back to its vomit.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked during the Farewell Pilgrimage: O Messenger of Allah, I shaved my head before I offered my sacrifice, and he gestured with his hand and said, "No problem.” Another man said: O Messenger of Allah, I offered my sacrifice before stoning the Jamrah, and he gestured with his hand and said, “No problem.” He was not asked anything about doing one ritual before or after another but he gestured with his hand and said, “No problem.”

I was a boy playing with other boys; I turned around and saw the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) coming towards me. I said: The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) is only coming to me, so I ran and hid behind a door. But suddenly he grabbed me by the back of the neck and gave me a slap between the shoulders and said: "Go and call Mu'awiyah for me” - as he was his scribe. So I ran and said: Go to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ); he wants to talk to you.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out from Madinah for Makkah, and he fasted until he reached ‘Usfan, then he called for water. He lifted it up so that the people could see, then he broke his fast until he came to Makkah, and that was in Ramadan. And Ibn 'Abbas used to say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fasted and did not fast, so whoever wants may fast and whoever wants may not fast.
