Then when Allah wants to give it its final shape, He sends an angel to it and the angel who is appointed in charge of it says: "O Lord, male or female? Doomed or blessed? Short or tall? With something missing or something superfluous? (What is) its provision and lifespan? Healthy or sick?' And he writes down all of that.” One of the people said: Then why should we strive if all of that is finished with? He said: "Strive, for each one will be helped to do that for which he was created."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “On the night on which I was taken on the Night Journey, I met Ibraheem, Moosa and 'Eesa. They spoke about the Hour, and referred the matter to Ibraheem, who said: ‘I have no knowledge of it.' So they referred the matter to Moosa, who said: ‘I have no knowledge of it.' So they referred the matter to ‘Eesa who said: “When it is going to happen is not known by anyone except Allah, but among the things I have learned from my Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, is that the Dajjal will emerge, I will have two bars with me, and when he sees me he will melt like lead, and thus Allah will cause him to perish. And the rocks and trees will say: “O Muslim, there is a disbeliever beneath me, come and kill him.” Thus Allah will cause them to perish. Then the people will go back to their countries and homelands. At that point Ya'jooj and Ma‘jooj will emerge, swarming swiftly from every hill, and will conquer their lands. They will not pass by anything but they will destroy it, and they will not pass by any water but they will drink it. Then the people will come to me, complaining about them. I will pray to Allah against them and Allah will cause them to perish and die, until the earth becomes rotten with their stench. Then Allah will send down rain which will wash their bodies away and throw them into the sea.... And among the things I learned from my Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, is that when that happens, the Hour will be like a pregnant woman who has reached full term, and her family do not know when she will suddenly give birth by night or by day.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) disliked ten characteristics: wearing gold rings; letting the lower garment drag; sufrah - i.e., khalooq (a type of perfume); changing grey hair - Jareer said: what he meant was plucking it; coitus interruptus (‘azl); ruqyah except by means of almu'awwidhat (soorahs praying for refuge with Allah); intercourse with a woman who is breastfeeding a child (because if pregnancy results, it may interrupt the supply of milk) - but he did not say that it is haram; wearing amulets; showing one's adornment before non-mahrams (for women); and throwing dice.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Recite (Qurʼan) to me,” I said: Should I recite to you, when you are the one to whom it was revealed? He said: "I love to hear it from someone else." So I recited until I reached the verse, "How (will it be) then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad ((ﷺ)) as a witness against these people?" (an-Nisa 4:41). And I saw his eyes flowing with tears.
— Musnad Ahmad 3606 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3606
It was narrated that Shaqeeq bin Salamah said:
A man from Banu Bajeelah who was called Naheek bin Sinan came to ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) and said: O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman, how do you recite this verse? Do you find it ya' or alif? (i.e., ghair asin or ghair yasin) "water the taste and smell of which are not changed (min ma’in ghair asin)” (Muhammad 47:15). ‘Abdullah said to him: Have you read all the Qur'an except this? He said: I recite al-Mufassal (the Soorahs from Qaf to the end of the Qur'an) in one ruk'ah. ‘Abdullah said: Do you recite Qur'an as you recite poetry? The best part of the prayer is bowing and prostration, and some people recite the Qur'an but it does not go past their collarbones. But if he recites it and it takes root in his heart, he will benefit from it. I know the pairs of soorahs that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in one rak'ah. Then he went in and asked him, then he came out to us and said: Twenty soorahs from the beginning of al-Mufassal, in the Mushaf of 'Abdullah.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) divided some booty one day and a man from among the Ansar said: This is a division (of booty) that was not done for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted! I said: O enemy of Allah, I shall certainly tell the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) of what you have said. He mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and his face turned red. Then he said: "May Allah have mercy on Moosa, he was annoyed with more than this and he was patient.”

— Musnad Ahmad 3609 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3609
It was narrated that `Abdullah said:
We were walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he passed by Ibn Sayyad and said: "I am hiding something in my mind for you.” Ibn Sayyad said: (It is) dukh (referring to Soorat ad-Dukhan). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said. "May you be disgraced and dishonoured; you will never go beyond your station." ‘Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, let me strike his neck. He said: “No, If he is the one you fear he is, you will never be able to kill him."
— Musnad Ahmad 3610 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3610
It was narrated that Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
It is as if I can see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), telling the story of one of the Prophets who was beaten by his people, and he wiped the blood from his face and said: "Lord forgive my people, for they do not know.”
— Musnad Ahmad 3611 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3611
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
I asked The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): Which sin is the worst before Allah? He said: "Attributing a partner to Allah when He has created you.” I said: Then what? He said: "Then killing your child for fear that he may share your food.” I said: Then what? He said: "Then committing adultery with your neighbour's wife.” Then Allah revealed, confirming that: “And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such person as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse - and whoever does this shall receive the punishment" (al-Furqan 25:68).
— Musnad Ahmad 3612 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3612
It was narrated that Masrooq said:
A man came to 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) and said: I have left a man in the mosque who was interpreting the Qur'an according to his own opinion. He interpreted this verse, “the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke" by saying: On the Day of Resurrection a smoke will overwhelm the people which they will inhale and they will get something like a cold from it. 'Abdullah said: Whoever knows something, let him speak of it, and whoever does not know, let him say: Allah knows best. It is a part of a man's understanding of religion to say regarding that of which he has no knowledge of it, Allah knows best. This (verse) was (revealed) because when Quraish displayed a stubborn attitude towards the Prophet (ﷺ), he prayed against them and prayed for a famine like the famine of Yoosuf, and they were so afflicted by severe drought and famine that they even ate bones and a man would look at the sky and see something like smoke between him and it, because of hunger. Then a man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for rain for Mudar, for they are dying. So he prayed to Allah for them, and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: “Verily. We shall remove the torment for a while.” (ad-Dukhan 44:15). But when it rained a second time, they reverted to their former ways. Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: “On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest seizure (punishment). Verily, We will exact retribution" (ad-Dukhan 44:16) This refers to the day of Badr.
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
I was hiding behind the curtain of the Ka'bah, and three people came, a Qurashi and his two Thaqafi in-laws or a Thaqafi and his two Qurashi in laws; they were very fat but not very smart. They said something I did not hear, then one of them said: Do you think Allah hears what we say? The other said: I think if we raise our voices, He will hear us but if we do not raise our voices He will not hear us. The other one said: If He hears some of it He will hear all of it. I mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and Allah, may he be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: "And you have not been hiding yourselves (in the world), lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you; but you thought that Allah knew not much of what you were doing. And that thought of yours which you thought about your Lord, has brought you to destruction; and you have become (this Day) of those utterly lost!" (Fussilat 41:22,23).
— Musnad Ahmad 3614 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3614
It was narrated that Zainab, the wife of 'Abdullah, said:
When 'Abdullah came home from an errand and reached the door, he would clear his throat and spit, lest he take us by surprise and see us doing something he disapproved of. He came one day and cleared his throat, and there was an old woman with me who was doing ruqyah for me for erysipelas. I put her under the bed and he came in and sat beside me, and he saw a thread around my neck. He said: What is this thread? I said: A thread with which ruqyah was done for me. He took it and broke it, then he said: The family of ‘Abdullah have no need of shirk l heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Ruqyahs, amulets and love-spells are shirk.” I said: Why do you say that? By Allah, I had a discharge in my eye, and I kept going to So and so, the Jew, who did ruqyah for me, and when he did ruqyah for me, it calmed down. 'Abdullah said: That was the work of the Shaitan, who was poking it with his hand, but when he did ruqyah for it, it stopped. It would have been sufficient for you to say as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: “Take away the pain, O Lord of mankind, and grant healing, for You are the Healer, and there is no healing but Your healing, a healing that leaves no trace of sickness.”
— Musnad Ahmad 3615 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3615
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No one has more protective jealousy (gheerah) than Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. Hence He forbade immoral actions, both open and hidden. And none loves to be praised more than Allah, Inay He be glorified and exalted."
— Musnad Ahmad 3616 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3616
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
I entered upon The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he was running a fever. I touched him with my hand and said: O Messenger of Allah, you are running a high fever. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Yes, I am running a fever like two of you.” I said: Then you will have two rewards. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Yes. There is no Muslim who is afflicted with sickness or anything else, but Allah will erase thereby his bad deeds just as trees shed their leaves.”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
Keep refreshing your knowledge of these Mushafs - or he said, Qur’an - for it is more inclined to escape from the hearts of men than camels from their ropes. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “No one of you should say, I have forgotten such and such a verse; rather he has been caused to forget.”
— Musnad Ahmad 3620 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3620
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The blood of a Muslim man who bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah is not permissible except in one of three cases: a married adulterer, a soul for a soul, and one who leaves his religion and separates from the jama'ah (the main body of Muslims)."
— Musnad Ahmad 3621 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3621
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
When we sat with The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the prayer, we said: Peace be upon Allah before His slaves, peace be upon Jibreel, peace be upon Mika'eel, peace be upon So and so, peace be upon So and so. Then we heard The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Allah Himself is as-Salam (peace), so when one of you sits in the prayer, let him say, "All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us, and upon the righteous slaves of Allah.' If he says that, it will reach all the righteous slaves in heaven and on earth. ‘I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.’ Then let him choose whatever supplication he wants.”
— Musnad Ahmad 3622 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3622
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
Whoever would like to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, let him pay attention to praying these five (daily) prayers when the call for them is given, for they are part of the ways of guidance, and Allah prescribed the ways of guidance to your Prophet (ﷺ), There is no one among you who does not have a prayer-space in his house, but if you pray in your houses as this one who stays away (from the prayer in congregation) does, you will have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet (ﷺ) and if you abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet you will go astray. I remember when no one stayed away from it (i.e., the prayer in congregation) except a hypocrite who was known for his hypocrisy. I have seen a man coming supported by two others, until he was made to stand in the row (of worshippers). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There is no man who does wudoo' and does it well, and comes to the mosque and prays there, but for every step that he takes he will be raised in status one degree thereby, or one of his sins will be erased, or one good deed will be recorded for him.” So we would make our steps short. And a man's prayer offered in congregation is superior to his prayer offered on his own by twenty-five degrees.”
— Musnad Ahmad 3623 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3623
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who is the most truthful one, told us: “The creation of any one of you is put together in his mother's womb for forty days, then he becomes a ‘alaqah (a piece of thick coagulated blood) for a similar period, then he becomes like a chewed piece of flesh (mudghah) for a similar period, then Allah sends to him an angel who breathes the soul into him and is enjoined to write down four things: his provision, his lifespan, his deeds and whether He is doomed (to Hell) or blessed (destined for Paradise). By the One besides Whom there is no other god, one of you may do the deeds of the people of Paradise until there is nothing between him and it but a cubit, then the decree overtakes him and he does a deed of the people of Hell and enters it. And one of you may do the deeds of the people of Hell until there is nothing between him and it but a cubit, then the decree overtakes him and he does a deed of the people of Paradise, and enters it."
— Musnad Ahmad 3624 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3624
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said something and I may add something else. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.” And I say: whoever dies associating anything with Allah will enter Hell.
— Musnad Ahmad 3625 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3625
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Who among you likes his heir’s wealth more than his own wealth?” They said: O Messenger of Allah, there is no one among us for whom his own wealth is not dearer to him than his heir's wealth. He said: “You should know that there is no one among you for whom his heir's wealth is not dearer than his own wealth. You will have nothing of your wealth except what you send ahead, and your heir's wealth is what you leave behind.” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Who do you consider to be a strong wrestler among you?" They said: The one who cannot be thrown to the ground by other men. He said: “No, the strong man is the one who can control himself at the time of anger." And The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Who do you consider to be childless among you?" We said: The one who has no children. He said: “No, the childless one is the one who has not sent any of his children ahead of him (i.e., none of his children died before him)."
— Musnad Ahmad 3626 Arabic/English book : Book 26, Hadith 3626
'Abdullah told us two reports, one of them from himself and the other from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The believer sees his sins as being like the bottom of a mountain that he fears will fall on him; the evildoer sees his sins as being like flies that land on his nose, and he does this and they fly away. He said: And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Verily, Allah rejoices more over the repentance of His believing slave than a man who goes out in a desolate land and has his mount with him, on which is his food and drink and provisions and all that he needs, then he loses it, so he goes out looking for it until he is about to die and has not found it, so he says to himself: I will go back to the place where I lost it, and die there. He goes back to that place and falls asleep, then he wakes up and there is his mount, standing at his head, with his food and drink and provisions and all that he needs on it.”

It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
On the day of Badr, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “What do you think (we should do with) these prisoners?" Abu Bakr said: O Messenger of Allah, they are your people and your family; keep them alive and give them respite, and perhaps Allah may cause them to repent. 'Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, they drove you out and disbelieved you, bring them forth and strike their necks. ‘Abdullah bin Rawahah said: O Messenger of Allah, find a valley with a lot of wood and put them there, then set it alight. Al-‘Abbas said: Then you will have severed your ties of kinship with them. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went in and did not give them any answer. Some people said: He will follow the suggestion of Abu Bakr. Others said: He will follow the suggestion of ʼUmar; others said: He will follow the suggestion of ‘Abdullah bin Rawahah. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out and said: Allah may make some men's hearts so soft that they are softer than milk, and He may make some men's hearts so hard that they are harder than rock. Your likeness, O Abu Bakr, is that of Ibraheerm (as) who said: ‘But whoso follows me, he verily, is of me. And whoso disobeys me, still You are indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful’ (Ibraheem 14:36) and your likeness, O Abu Bakr, is that of Eesa who said: 'If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the AllWise (al-Ma'idah 5:118). And your likeness, O Umar, is that of Nooh who said: 'My Lord! leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth!' (Nooh 7:26), and your likeness, O ‘Umar, is that of Moosa, who said: My Lord, ‘harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment' (Yoonus 10.38). You are poor, so none of them should be set free except in return for a ransom or his neck should be struck.” ‘Abdullah said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, except Suhail bin Baida', for I heard him speak well of Islam. He remained silent, and I was never more afraid that a rock would fall on me from heaven except on that day, until he said: “Except Suhail bin Baida." Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: “It is not for a Prophet (ﷺ) that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allah desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-wise. Were it not a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took” (al-Anfal 8:67-68).
Abu Mu'awiyah - meaning Ibn 'Amr - told us: Za'idah told us…
And he narrated a similar report, except that he said: "Except Suhail Ibn Baida’.” And he said with regard to the words of Abu Bakr: Abu Bakr said: O Messenger of Allah, your family, your origin, your people; pardon them, for perhaps Allah will save them through you from the Fire. He said: And 'Abdullah bin Rawahah said: O Messenger of Allah, you are in a valley with a great deal of wood; set it on fire then throw them into it. And al-'Abbas said: May Allah cutoff your ties of kinship.

And he said: Sahl lbn Baida’.

The cry will reach therm: The Dajjal has taken your place among your offspring. So they will throw aside whatever is in their hands and will go there, sending ten horsemen ahead of them as scouts.

Allah has given me that which was not given to anyone of the first and the last.’ Then a tree will be raised for him and he will look at it and will say: 'O Lord, bring me close to this tree, so that I might seek its shade and drink from its water.’ He will say: 'O My slave, perhaps if I bring you close to it, you will ask Me for something else.' He will say: ‘No, O Lord,’ and he will promise Allah that he will not ask Him for anything else, although the Lord knows that he will ask Him, because he will see something that he cannot help wanting. So He will bring him close to it. Then he will raise up for him another tree that is even more beautiful than it, and he will say: ‘O Lord, bring me close to this tree, so that I might seek its shade and drink from its water.’ He will say: 'O My slave, did you not promise Me,’ i.e., that you would not ask Me for anything else? He will say: ‘O Lord, only this, and I will not ask You for anything else.' And he will make a promise to Him, although the Lord knows that he will ask Him for something else. So He will bring him close to it. Then he will raise up for him a tree at the gate of Paradise that is more beautiful than it, and he will say: ‘O Lord, bring me close to this tree, so that I might seek its shade and drink from its water.’ He will say: ‘O My slave, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else?’ He will say: 'O Lord, only this tree and I will not ask You for anything else.' And he will make a promise to Him, although the Lord knows that he will ask Him for something else, because he will see something that he cannot help wanting. So He will bring him close to it. Then he will hear the voices of the people of Paradise, and he will say: 'O Lord, Paradise, Paradise.’ He will say: 'O My slave, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else?" He will say: 'O Lord, admit me to Paradise.’ Allah, may He be glorified and exalted will say: ‘What will make you stop asking, O My slave? Would it please you if I give you of Paradise the equivalent of the world and as much again?’ He will say: ‘Are you making fun of me, O my Lord, when You are the Lord of Glory?’” And ‘Abdullah smiled so much that his molars could be seen, then he said: Why don't you ask me why I am smiling? They said: Why are you smiling? He said: Because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiled, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: "Why don't you ask me why I am smiling?” They said: Why are you smiling, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "because the Lord smiled when he said, ‘Are you making fun of me, when You are the Lord of Glory?’”

Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created many men and women, and fear Allah through whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship) Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.’ (an-Nisa' 4:1) 'O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins.

The two sons of Mulaikah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Our mother honoured her husband, was kind to her children - and he mentioned guests - but she had buried an infant alive during the Jahiliyyah. He said: “Your mother is in the Fire.” They turned away, looking upset. Then he ordered that they be called back, so they came back looking happy and hoping that something had happened. He said: "My mother is with your mother.” One of the hypocrites said: This man cannot even help his mother yet we are following in his footsteps. One of the Ansar - and I never saw any man ask more questions than him - said: O Messenger of Allah has your Lord made you any promise concerning her or concerning them (your parents)? He said. He thought that (this man) based it on something he heard. He said: "I did not ask my Lord, and He did not promise me anything concerning that, even though I will stand in the station of praise and glory (al-maqamul-mahmood) on the Day of Resurrection." The Ansari said: What is that station of praise and glory? He said: "That will be when you are brought, naked, barefoot and uncircumcised. The first one to be clothed will be Ibraheem. It will be said: 'Clothe My close friend.’ And he will be given two white garments and will put them on, then he will sit facing the Throne. Then I will be given my garment and I will put it on, then I will stand on his right, in a position where no one will stand but me, and the first and the last will envy me for it." He said: "Then a channel will be opened up from al-Kawthar to the Cistern.” The hypocrites said: Water could only flow on mud or small pebbles. He said: O Messenger of Allah, will it flow on mud or small pebbles? He said: "Its mud is musk and its small pebbles are pearls." The hypocrite said: I have never heard anything like today; water hardly ever flows over mud or small pebbles but it must have some vegetation. The Ansari said: O Messenger of Allah, will it have any vegetation? He said: "Yes, reeds of gold.” The hypocrite said I have never heard anything like today, Reeds hardly ever grow but they have leaves and fruit. The Ansari said: O Messenger of Allah, will it have fruit? He said: “Yes; different kinds of gems, and its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Whoever drinks one draught from it will never thirst after that, and if he is deprived of it, his thirst will never be quenched.”
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه): "Amr said: 'Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked me to come with him, so we set out until I came to such and such a place. He drew a line for me and said to me: "Stay there, within this line, and do not come out. If you come out you will perish.” So I stayed within it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went on, as far as one could throw a stone or a little further - or words to that effect. Then he mentioned the shapes of figures as if they were black people; they were not wearing any clothes but I could not see their private parts, and they were tall and slim. They came and started climbing on the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) started reciting Qur'an to them. He said: And they started coming and going around me, getting in my way. 'Abdullah said: And I got very scared of them, so I sat down - or words to that effect. When dawn came, they began to leave - or words to that effect. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came, looking drawn and tired, or almost ill because of their climbing over him. He said: "I feel very tired" - or words to that effect. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) put his head in my lap - or words to that effect. Then these figures came, wearing long white garments - or words to that effect. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had gone to sleep. ‘Abdullah said: And I felt more afraid of them than I had the first time. ('Arim said in his hadeeth) they said to one another. This slave of Allah has been given something good - or words to that effect - his eyes are sleeping or his eye is sleeping - or words to that effect - but his heart is awake. Then they said to one another: Let us try to find a likeness for him - or words to that effect. They said to one another: Coin for us a likeness and we will interpret it, or we will coin a likeness and you interpret it. They said to one another. His likeness is that of a leader who builds a fortified structure. Then he invites people to come and eat - or words to that effect. And whoever does not come and eat his food, or who does not follow him, he punishes him severely - or words to that effect. Others said: As for the leader, he is the Lord of the Worlds. As for the structure, it is Islam; the food is Paradise and he is the caller: whoever follows him will be in Paradise - or words to that effect. And whoever does not follow him will be punished - or words to that effect. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) woke up and said: “What did you see, O Ibn Umm ‘Abd?” ’Abdullah said: I saw such and such. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Nothing of what they said was hidden from me.” The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: “They are a group of the angels" or he said, "some of the angels, or whatever Allah willed.”
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No one will enter the Fire who has in his heart faith the weight of a grain, and no one will enter Paradise who has in his heart pride the weight of a grain." A man said: O Messenger of Allah, I like my garment to be clean, my hair to be well groomed and my shoelaces to be in good condition - and he mentioned some other things, until he mentioned the handle of his whip - is that pride, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "No, that is beauty. Allah is beautiful and loves beauty. Rather pride is rejecting the truth and looking down on people."

Whilst Sa'd was doing tawaf, Abu Jahl came to him and said: Who is this who is circumambulating the Ka'bah in safety? Sa’d said: I am Sa'd. Abu Jahl said: Are you circumambulating the Ka'bah in safety when you have given refuge to Muhammad? And they traded insults. Umayyah said to Sa'd Do not raise your voice to Abul-Hakam, for he is the leader of the people of the valley. Sa'd said to him: By Allah, if you prevent me from circumambulating the House, I shall certainly cut off your trade with Syria. Umayyah kept saying: Do not raise your voice to Abul Hakam, and he tried to hold him back. Sa’d got angry and said: Leave us alone, for I heard Muhammad (ﷺ) saying that he is going to kill you. Umayyah said. Me? He said: Yes. He said. By Allah, Muhammad does not tell lies. Then when they left, he went back to his wife and said: Do you know what the Yathribi (i.e. Sa'd) said to me? And he told her about it. When the call for mobilization came and they set out for Badr, his wife said: Don't you remember what your brother the Yathribi said? He wanted not to go out, but Abu Jahl said to him: You are one of the nobles of the valley, come with us for a day or two. So he went with them, and Allah, may He be exalted and glorified, caused him to be killed.

A man from Hamdan, one of the companions of 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه), but he did not tell us his name, told us: When `Abdullah wanted to go to Madinah, he gathered his companions together and said: By Allah, I hope that among you are the best of the troops of the Muslims with regard to religious commitment, understanding of religion and knowledge of Qur'an. This Qur'an was revealed with different modes of recitation but by Allah, (it so happened that, two men would dispute in the strongest terms (at the time of the Prophet (ﷺ)). One reader would say: This is how I learned it. He (the Prophet (ﷺ)) would say: You did well. And when the other one said (how he learned it) he would say: Both of you are good. And he taught us that truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise, and lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to Hell. Think of that when one of you says concerning his companion that he lied or committed some evil, and think about that if he believed him, he would say: you told the truth and you were righteous. This Qur'an does not change and does not wear out, and it does not become less precious by being recited repeatedly. Whoever learns it in one mode of rocitation should not abandon it in favour of another mode. Whoever learns it in any mode of recitalion that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught, should not abandon it in favour of another, for whoever denies one verse has denied all of it. Rather it is like if one of you says to his companion, “hurry up' or 'quickly.' By Allah, if there was a man who had more knowledge of what Allah revealed to Muhammad , I would have sought him out so that I could add his knowledge to mine. There will be people who delay the prayer, so pray on time and make your prayer with them voluntary. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to review the Qur'an every Ramadan, and I reviewed it with him twice in the year in which he died and he told me that I was good. I learned from the lips of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) seventy soorahs.
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
I learned seventy soorahs from the lips of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when Zaid bin Thabit was still a boy with braided hair, learning to read and write.

Muhammad did not see Jibreel in his real form except on two occasions. On one occasion he asked him to show himself in his real form, so he showed him his real form and he filled the horizon. On the other occasion, it was when he ascended with him (to heaven). (Allah said:) "While he (Jibreel (Gabriel)), was in the highest part of the horizon, (Tafseer Ibn Katheer). Then he (Jibreel (Gabriel) approached and came closer, And was at a distance of two bows' length or (even) nearer. So (Allah) revealed to His slave (Muhammad through Jibreel (Gabriel) A.S.) whatever He revealed” (an-Najm 53:7–10). When Jibreel came close to his Lord, he went back to his real form and prostrated, (And Allah says:) "And indeed he (Muhammad (ﷺ)) saw him (Jibreel (Gabriel)) at a second descent (i.e. another time). Near Sidratul-Muntaha (a lote tree of the utmost boundary over the seventh heaven beyond which none can pass). Near it is the Paradise of Abode. When that covered the lote tree which did cover it! The sight (of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)) turned not aside (right or left), nor it transgressed beyond the limit (ordained for it). Indeed he (Muhammad (ﷺ)) did see of the Greatest signs, of his Lord (Allah)" (an-Najm 53:13-18), he (Ibn Mas'ood) said: Jibreel's real form.

The other said: I think that He will hear us if we raise our voices, but He will not hear us if we lower our voices. The other one said. If He hears some of it He will hear all of it. I mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: “And you have not been hiding yourselves (in the world), lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you; but you thought that Allah knew not much of what you were doing. And that thought of yours which you thought about your Lord, has brought you to destruction, and you have become (this Day) of those utterly lost" (Fussilat 40:22-23).

So he asked permission from his wife to enter and he asked for a drink. She sent the slave girl to bring him a drink from their neighbours, but she was slow and she cursed her, so ‘Abdullah left. Abu 'Umair came and said:
O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman, one would not feel protective jealousy concerning someone like you. Why did you not greet the wife of your brother and sit down and have something to drink? He said: I did that, and she sent the servant and she was slow; either they did not have anything or they had something but did not want to give it. She thought the servant was too slow and she cursed her, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “If a curse is directed at someone, if it finds a way to reach him it will stay, otherwise it will say: 'O Lord, I was sent to So and so, but I could not find any way to reach him." Then it is said to it: ‘Go back from whence you came." And I was afraid that the servant had an excuse and that the curse would come back, and I would be the cause of it.

As-salamu ‘alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu ‘alaina wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-saliheen. Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasooluh (All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah.

Whoever would like to meet Allah, may He be exalted, tomorrow as a Muslim, let him regularly offer these prayers where the call to prayer is given, for Allah has prescribed the ways of guidance to your Prophet (ﷺ) and they (the prayers) are among the ways of guidance. If you pray in your houses like this one who stays away from the mosque prays in his house, you will have forsaken the Sunnah of your Prophet, and if you forsake the Sunnah of your Prophet you will go astray. There is no man who purifies himself and purifies himself well, then he goes to one of these mosques, but Allah will record one good deed for him for every step he takes, and will raise him in status one degree thereby, and will erase one bad deed thereby. I remember when no one would stay away from it but a hypocrite whose hypocrisy was known, and a man would come staggering between two others in order to stand in the row.

Then they said: “Our Lord! Remove the torment from us, really we shall become believers!" (44:12). It was said to him: If We relieve them they will revert (to disbelief). So he called upon his Lord and He relieved them, and they reverted (to disbelief), but Allah wrought vengeance upon them on the day of Badr. Allah, may He be exalted, says: "Then wait you for the day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke - up to - On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest seizure (punishment). Verily, We will exact retribution" (ad-Dukhan 44:10-16). Ibn Numair said; ’Abdullah said: If this was referring to the Day of Resurrection. He would not have mentioned relief for them.

A red wind blew in Koofah, and there came a man who had nothing to say except: O 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood, the Hour has come. He was reclining, but he sat up and said: The Hour will not begin until shares of inheritance are not distributed and there is no rejoicing over war booty. An enemy will gather against the people of Islam and the people of Islam will gather against them. Then he gestured with his hand like this in the direction of Syria. I said: Do you mean the Byzantines? He said: Yes. He said. During this fighting there will be a great retreat. The Muslims will send out a detachment to fight to the death and not return unless they are victorious. They will fight until night intervenes, then both sides will go back, neither having prevailed, and that detachment will have been wiped out. Then the Muslims will send out a detachment to fight to the death and not return unless they are victorious. They will fight until night intervenes, then both sides will go back, neither having prevailed, and that detachment will have been wiped out. Then the Muslims will send out a detachment to fight to the death and not return unless they are victorious. They will fight until evening comes, then both sides will go back, neither having prevailed, and that detachment will have been wiped out. Then on the fourth day, the rest of the Muslims will charge at them (the encrony), and Allah will decree that the enemy be routed, and they will fight a battle the like of which has never been seen. If a bird were to fly over their flanks, it would not reach the end of them before falling down dead. The sons of one father, who numbered one hundred, will check to see how many are left, and they will find only one man is left, so what joy can there be in war booty, and what inheritance can be shared out? Whilst they are like that, they will hear of an even greater calamity. The cry will reach them: The Dajjal has taken your place among your offspring. So they will throw aside whatever is in their hands and will go there, sending ten horsemen ahead of them as scouts. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "I know their names, and the names of their fathers, and the colours of their horses. They will be the best horsemen on the face of the earth at that time."
It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) said:

When morning came - or he said: before dawn - he came from the direction of Hira’, and we said: O Messenger of Allah... and they told him what they had been thinking. He said: “Someone from the jinn came to call me, and I went with him and recited the Qur'an to them.” Then he set off with us and showed us their tracks and the traces of their fires. Ash-Sha'bi said: They asked him for provision; Ibn Abi Za'idah said: ‘Amir said: On that night they asked him for provision, and they were from among the jinn of al-Jazeerah. He said: “You may have every bone on which the name of Allah has been mentioned that falls into your hands with plenty of meat on it, and all dung is food for your animals.” (The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:) "Do not clean yourselves with them (after relieving yourselves), for they are the food of your brothers among the jinn."

"So go you and your Lord and fight you two, we are sitting right here" (al-Ma’idah 5:34); rather, by the One Who sent you with the truth, we with certainly fight in front of you, on your right and on your left and behind you, until Allah grants you victory.
