حَدِيثُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ (١)، ٢٢٥١٧ - حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَنْصُورٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَاذَانَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ الزِّمَّانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ. فَقَالَ: " كَفَّارَةُ سَنَتَيْنِ ". وَسُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ. فَقَالَ: " كَفَّارَةُ سَنَةٍ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) about fasting on the Day of Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah), so the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: "It is an expiation for two years." Then someone asked about fasting on the Day of Ashura, so he said: "It is an expiation for one year."

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) praying in such a way that he was carrying the daughter of Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), namely Imam or Umaymah bint Abi Al-As. When the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would stand, he would pick her up, and when he would go into bowing (ruku'), he would put her down, and he continued like this until he finished the prayer.

And in the first two rak'ahs of Asr, he would also recite (Qur'an).

Abu Salamah, may Allah have mercy on him, says that sometimes I used to see frightening dreams, but I did not let them become a burden on me until one day I met Abu Qatadah, may Allah be pleased with him. I mentioned this to him, so he narrated this hadith to me: The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Good dreams are from Allah and bad dreams are from Satan. Therefore, whoever sees a disliked dream should not mention it to anyone. Rather, after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. In this way, the dream will not harm him."

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) about his fasting, so the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) became displeased. Seeing this, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad (ﷺ) as our Messenger, and upon this we have pledged allegiance." Then another man or Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) himself stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! If a person fasts continuously, what is the ruling?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "His fasting and not fasting are both the same." The questioner asked, "How about fasting two days and leaving one day?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Who has the strength for that?" The questioner asked, "How about leaving two days and fasting one day?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perhaps this is praiseworthy in the sight of Allah." The questioner asked, "How about fasting one day and leaving one day?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That is the way of my brother, Dawood (peace be upon him)." The questioner asked about fasting on Mondays and Thursdays. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On that day I was born and on that day revelation was sent down to me. Fasting three days in every month and fasting the whole month of Ramadan is equal to fasting always." The questioner asked, "What is the ruling of fasting on the Day of Arafah?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is an expiation for the sins of the previous and coming year." The questioner asked about the ruling of fasting on the Day of Ashura, so he said, "It is an expiation for the sins of the previous year."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنٌ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ: " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِيَّاكُمْ وَكَثْرَةَ الْحَدِيثِ عَنِّي، مَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا يَقُولَنَّ إِلَّا حَقًّا، أَوْ صِدْقًا، فَمَنْ قَالَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَقُلْ فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) saying on this pulpit: O people! Refrain from narrating many ahadith from me, and whoever attributes something to me should only say what is true, because whoever attributes a false statement to me should make his abode in Hell.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ أَحْيَانًا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would sometimes recite a verse aloud to us in the Zuhr and Asr prayers.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنِ الزُّرَقِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ: " إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَضَعَ يَمِينَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ الْيُمْنَى، وَأَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) sat during Tashahhud in prayer, he would place his hand on his right thigh and gesture with his finger.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ الزِّمَّانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَوْمِهِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: صَوْمُ الِاثْنَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: " ذَاكَ، ، يَوْمٌ وُلِدْتُ فِيهِ وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ " (١)،

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ كَفَّرَ اللهُ بِهِ خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنْ قُتِلْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ كَفَّرَ اللهُ بِهِ خَطَايَاكَ ".، ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَبِثَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ كَفَّرَ اللهُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنْ قُتِلْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ كَفَّرَ اللهُ عَنْكَ خَطَايَاكَ إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ، كَذَلِكَ قَالَ لِي جِبْرِيلُ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, if I am martyred in the way of Allah while I remain steadfast with the intention of reward, I advance and do not retreat, will Allah, by virtue of this, expiate all my sins?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Yes! If you are martyred in this way, Allah will expiate your sins." After some time, that person asked the same question again, so the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave the same answer, but with this exception: "Except for debt," and said, "Jibreel (peace be upon him) has just informed me of this."

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجِنَازَةٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ: " أَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ؟ " قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. دِينَارَانِ. قَالَ: " أَتَرَكَ لَهُمَا وَفَاءً؟ " قَالُوا: لَا. قَالَ: " صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ ". ١٠ قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: هُمَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a funeral was brought to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Has he left any debt behind?" The people replied, "Yes! Two dinars." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Has he left anything in inheritance?" The people replied, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then you should offer the funeral prayer of your companion yourselves." Upon this, Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! His debt is upon me." Thus, the Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِيَّاكُمْ وَكَثْرَةَ الْحَلِفِ فِي الْبَيْعِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَفِّقُ، ثُمَّ يَمْحَقُ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) saying: Avoid excessive swearing in buying and selling, for although it makes the goods sell, its blessing is removed.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مَعْبَدُ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ السَّلَمِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِيَّاكُمْ وَكَثْرَةَ الْحَلِفِ فِي الْبَيْعِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَفِّقُ، ثُمَّ يَمْحَقُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: "Refrain from taking too many oaths in buying and selling, for although it makes the goods sell, its blessing is removed."

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If you do not reach water, you will remain thirsty." So, the hasty people went out in search of water, and I stayed with the Prophet (ﷺ). During this, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) began to doze off and leaned from his mount, so I supported him without waking him, until he became upright on his mount. Then he leaned again, and I straightened him without waking him, until he became upright on his mount. Then he leaned even more than before, until it was near that he would fall, so I came again and supported him. The Prophet (ﷺ) then raised his head and said, "Who is this?" I replied, "Abu Qatadah." He (ﷺ) said, "Since when have you been walking with me like this?" I replied, "I have been walking with you like this all night." He (ﷺ) said, "May Allah protect you as you have protected the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ)." Then he (ﷺ) said, "I think we should camp." So, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) reached near a tree and camped there. Then he (ﷺ) said, "Do you see anyone?" I replied, "Here is a rider," until seven riders gathered. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "You take care of our prayer." So, we slept, and only the heat of the sun woke us up. We woke up, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) mounted and left from there, and we also started walking slowly. When we reached a place, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) camped and said, "Does any of you have water?" I replied, "Yes! There is a little water in my ablution vessel." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Bring it." I brought that water, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perform ablution with it." So, all the people performed ablution, and some water remained. Then he (ﷺ) said to Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Protect the vessel of this ablution water, for soon a strange matter will be revealed from it." Then Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the call to prayer, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) prayed two rak'ahs (Sunnah), then prayed the morning prayer. (After that) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mounted, and we also mounted with him. One of us said to another, "What will be the expiation for our mistake in the prayer, that we did not wake up?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What are you people saying? If it is a worldly matter, then fine, but if it is a religious matter, then tell me as well." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! We were negligent in the prayer." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is no negligence in sleep, but negligence is in wakefulness. If this happens to anyone, he should pray whenever he wakes up, and when the next day comes, he should pray at its time." Then he (ﷺ) said, "What do you think the other people have done?" They replied, "Yesterday you yourself said that if you do not reach water, you will remain thirsty, so people will be searching for water." The Prophet (ﷺ) himself said, "When the people woke up in the morning, they did not find their Prophet (ﷺ). Among the people present, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) will be behind you. It is not befitting the status of the Prophet (ﷺ) that he would leave you behind and himself go ahead towards water.' If those people accept the words of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), they will attain guidance." He said this three times. Then we reached the people at a time when the day had advanced and the heat had increased. The people began to say, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), thirst has destroyed us and our necks are breaking." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have not been destroyed." Then he said, "O Abu Qatadah, bring my small bowl." I brought it, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) then f

Muhammad says that once we were sitting on the roof of our house with Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). During this time, a star fell, and people began to look at it. So Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We have been forbidden from chasing it with our eyes."

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) about fasting on Monday. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied: "On this day I was born and on this day revelation was sent down to me."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ، ، خَالِدِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ (١) قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَارِسُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَيْشَ الْأُمَرَاءِ وَقَالَ: " عَلَيْكُمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ، فجَعْفَرٌ، فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ جَعْفَرٌ، فعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ " فَوَثَبَ جَعْفَرٌ فَقَالَ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَأُمِّي مَا كُنْتُ أَرْهَبُ أَنْ تَسْتَعْمِلَ عَلَيَّ زَيْدًا قَالَ: " امْضُوا، فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَيُّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ ". قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ الْجَيْشُ فَلَبِثُوا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُنَادَى الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " نَابَ خَبرٌ، أَوْ ثَابَ خَبَرٌ، شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ جَيْشِكُمْ هَذَا الْغَازِي إِنَّهُمْ انْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى لَقُوا الْعَدُوَّ، فَأُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ شَهِيدًا، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ ". فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ النَّاسُ، " ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَشَدَّ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا، أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأَثْبَتَ قَدَمَيْهِ حَتَّى أُصِيبَ شَهِيدًا، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ هُوَ أَمَّرَ نَفْسَهُ ". فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ (٢) وَقَالَ: " اللهُمَّ هُوَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ، ، سُيُوفِكَ فَانْصُرْهُ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مَرَّةً: فَانْتَصِرْ بِهِ ". فَيَوْمَئِذٍ سُمِّيَ خَالِدٌ سَيْفَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " انْفِرُوا، فَأَمِدُّوا إِخْوَانَكُمْ، وَلَا يَتَخَلَّفَنَّ أَحَدٌ " فَنَفَرَ النَّاسُ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ مُشَاةً وَرُكْبَانًا (١)،

Khalid bin Sameer says that once Abdullah bin Rabah came to us. I saw that many people had gathered around him and they were saying that Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) told us that once the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) dispatched an army called "Jaish Umara" and said: "Your commander is Zaid bin Harithah. If Zaid is martyred, then Ja'far will be the commander. If Ja'far is also martyred, then Abdullah bin Rawahah Al-Ansari will be the commander." Upon this, Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, I did not think that you would appoint Zaid as commander over me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Set out, for you do not know in which matter there is goodness for you." So that army set out. After some time had passed, one day the Prophet (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit and ordered the call for "the prayer is ready" to be made and said, "There is a distressing news. Shall I not inform you about that army of Mujahideen?" They set out from here and when they faced the enemy, Zaid was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness." The people did so. Then Ja'far bin Abi Talib took the flag and attacked the enemy fiercely until he too was martyred. I bear witness to his martyrdom, so pray for his forgiveness as well. Then Abdullah bin Rawahah took the flag and stood firm with great perseverance until he too was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness as well. Then Khalid bin Walid took the flag, even though no one had appointed him as commander. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his finger and said, "O Allah! He is one of Your swords, so help him." From that day, Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) was called "Saifullah" (the Sword of Allah). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Set out to help your brothers, and let no man stay behind." So, in that intense heat, people set out on foot and mounted.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا تَسُبُّوا الدَّهْرَ؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الدَّهْرُ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not speak ill of time, for Allah is the Creator of time.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِي، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَخْرِ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّهُ حَضَرَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: أَتَى عَمْرُو بْنُ الْجَمُوحِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَاتَلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ أَمْشِي بِرِجْلِي هَذِهِ صَحِيحَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ؟، وَكَانَتْ رِجْلُهُ عرْجَاءَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " نَعَمْ ". فَقَتَلُوهُ (١) يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ هُوَ وَابْنُ أَخِيهِ وَمَوْلًى لَهُمْ، فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكَ تَمْشِي بِرِجْلِكَ هَذِهِ صَحِيحَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ ". فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهِمَا وَبِمَوْلَاهُمَا فَجُعِلُوا فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Amr bin Jamuh (may Allah be pleased with him), who had a limp in his leg, came to the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, if I fight in the way of Allah and am martyred, will I be able to walk in Paradise with a sound leg?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes!" Then, on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the polytheists martyred him, his nephew, and a freed slave. When the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) passed by them, he said, "I see you walking in Paradise with this leg of yours, sound and whole." Then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) ordered regarding the two of them and their slave, and the people buried them all in one grave.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ: شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا، وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا، وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا، وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا " قَالَ يَحْيَى: وَزَادَ فِيهِ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ " اللهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) led a funeral prayer, and I was also present. I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) supplicating: O Allah! Forgive our living and our deceased, those present and those absent, our young and our old, and our men and our women. Abu Salamah has also narrated this addition: O Allah! Whomever You keep alive from among us, keep him alive upon Islam, and whomever You cause to die from among us, cause him to die upon faith.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:، كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا دُعِيَ لِجِنَازَةٍ سَأَلَ عَنْهَا، فَإِنْ أُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْرٌ قَامَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهَا، وَإِنْ أُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهَا: " شَأْنُكُمْ بِهَا " وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهَا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was called for a funeral prayer, he would first inquire about the opinion of the people regarding the deceased. If the people mentioned him with goodness, the Prophet (ﷺ) would stand and lead his funeral prayer. But if he was mentioned with badness, the Prophet (ﷺ) would say to his family, "Take him away and perform his funeral prayer yourselves," and the Prophet (ﷺ) would not lead his funeral prayer.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he saw the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) urinating while facing the direction of the Ka'bah.

In the last two rak'ahs, he would recite only Surah Al-Fatihah. In the Fajr prayer, he would make the first rak'ah long.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةَ مِنَ اللهِ، وَالْحُلْمَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمْ حُلْمًا يَخَافُهُ فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Good dreams are from Allah, and bad dreams are from Satan. Therefore, if anyone sees a disliked dream, he should not relate it to anyone. Rather, after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left side and seek Allah’s protection from its evil. In this way, that dream will not harm him.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ: سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا بَالَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَمَسُّ ذَكَرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ، وَلَا يَسْتَنْجِي بِيَمِينِهِ، وَلَا يَتَنَفَّسُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When one urinates, he should not touch his private part with his right hand; when entering the toilet, he should not clean himself with his right hand; and when any of you drinks something, he should not breathe into the vessel.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ (١) قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ تُفَقِّهُهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ، وَهُوَ فِي حِوَاءِ شَرِيكِ بْنِ الْأَعْوَرِ الشَّارِعِ عَلَى الْمِرْبَدِ، وَقَدْ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ نَاسٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَارِسُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَيْشَ الْأُمَرَاءِ فَقَالَ: " عَلَيْكُمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ، فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ، فَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَإِنْ أُصِيبَ جَعْفَرٌ، فعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ". فَوَثَبَ جَعْفَرٌ فَقَالَ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَرْهَبُ أَنْ تَسْتَعْمِلَ عَلَيَّ زَيْدًا. قَالَ: " امْضِهْ؛ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي أَيُّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ ". فَانْطَلَقُوا فَلَبِثُوا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُنَادَى الصَّلَاةُ جَامِعَةٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " نَابَ خَبَرٌ، أَوْ بَاتَ خَبْرٌ، أَوْ ثَابَ خَبْرٌ شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنْ جَيْشِكُمْ هَذَا الْغَازِي إِنَّهُمْ انْطَلَقُوا، فَلَقَوْا الْعَدُوَّ، فَأُصِيبَ زَيْدٌ شَهِيدًا، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ ". فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ النَّاسُ. " ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَشَدَّ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا، أَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأَثْبَتَ قَدَمَيْهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا، ، لَهُ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللِّوَاءَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ هُوَ أَمَّرَ نَفْسَهُ ". ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُصْبَعَيْهِ (١) فَقَالَ: " اللهُمَّ هُوَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِكَ فَانْصُرْهُ ". فَمِنْ يَوْمِئِذٍ سُمِّيَ خَالِدٌ سَيْفَ اللهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " انْفِرُوا فَأَمِدُّوا إِخْوَانَكُمْ، وَلَا يَتَخَلَّفَنَّ أَحَدٌ " قَالَ: فَنَفَرَ النَّاسُ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ مُشَاةً وَرُكْبَانًا (٢)،

Khalid bin Sameer says that once Abdullah bin Rabah came to us. I saw that many people had gathered around him and they were saying that "the horseman of the Messenger" Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had told us that once the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) dispatched an army called "Jaish Umara" and said: "Your commander is Zaid bin Harithah. If Zaid is martyred, then Ja'far will be the commander. If Ja'far is also martyred, then Abdullah bin Rawahah Ansari will be the commander." Upon this, Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you. I did not think that you would appoint Zaid as commander over me." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Set out, for you do not know in which matter there is goodness." So that army set out. After some time had passed, one day the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit and ordered the call for "the prayer is ready" to be made, and said, "There is a sorrowful news. Shall I not tell you about the army of the Mujahideen? They set out from here and when they faced the enemy, Zaid was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness." The people did so. Then Ja'far bin Abi Talib took the flag and attacked the enemy fiercely until he too was martyred. I bear witness to his martyrdom, so pray for his forgiveness. Then Abdullah bin Rawahah took the flag and stood firm with great perseverance until he too was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness as well. Then Khalid bin Walid took the flag, although no one had appointed him as commander. Then the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) raised his finger and said, "O Allah! He is one of Your swords, so help him." From that day, Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) was called "Saifullah" (the Sword of Allah). Then the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "Set out to help your brothers, and let no man stay behind." So, in that intense heat, people set out on foot and on mounts.

قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ: مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِبَعْضِ طَرِيقِ (٣) مَكَّةَ تَخَلَّفَ مَعَ أَصْحَابٍ لَهُ مُحْرِمِينَ، وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ، فَرَأَى حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا، فَاسْتَوَى عَلَى فَرَسِهِ، وَسَأَلَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يُنَاوِلُوهُ سَوْطَهُ فَأَبَوْا، فَسَأَلَهُمْ رُمْحَهُ فَأَبَوْا وَأَخَذَهُ، ثُمَّ شَدَّ عَلَى الْحِمَارِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَكَلَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَبَى بَعْضُهُمْ، فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّمَا هِيَ طُعْمَةٌ أَطْعَمَكُمُوهَا اللهُ " (٤)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was traveling with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) on a route to Makkah Mukarramah. He, along with some of his companions who were in the state of ihram, lagged behind, but he himself was not in the state of ihram. He saw a wild donkey, so he quickly mounted his horse and asked his companions for his whip, but they refused. Then he asked for a spear, but they also refused to give it. Eventually, he himself got down, took it, and ran swiftly towards the wild donkey and hunted it. Some of the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) ate from it, while some refused to eat. When they reached the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), they asked about it. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "It is Allah who has fed you this food."

قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ: مَالِكٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ فِي الْحِمَارِ الْوَحْشِيِّ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنَّ فِي حَدِيثِ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " هَلْ مَعَكُمْ مِنْ لَحْمِهِ شَيْءٌ؟ " (١)، ،

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain, however, in this there is also this addition that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "Do you have any of its meat left?"

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: أَحْرَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، وَلَمْ يُحْرِمْ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: وَحُدِّثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ عَدُوًّا بِغيقَةَ (١) ، فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا مَعَ أَصْحَابِي، فَضَحِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَنَظَرْتُ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِحِمَارِ وَحْشٍ فَاسْتَعَنْتُهُمْ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُعِينُونِي فَحَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَثْبَتُّهُ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْ لَحْمِهِ، وَخَشِينَا أَنْ نُقْتَطَعَ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَرْفَعُ فَرَسِي شَأْوًا، وَأَسِيرُ شَأْوًا، وَلَقِيتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَقُلْتُ: أَيْنَ تَرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: تَرَكْتُهُ وَهُوَ بِتِعْهِنَ: وَهُوَ مِمَّا يَلِي السُّقْيَا فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أَصْحَابَكَ يُقْرِئُونَكَ السَّلَامَ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ، وَقَدْ خَشُوا أَنْ يَتَقَطَّعُوا دُونَكَ، فَانْتَظِرْهُمْ قَالَ: فَانْتَظَرَهُمْ. قُلْتُ: وَقَدْ أَصَبْتُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ، وَعِنْدِي مِنْهُ فَاضِلَةٌ.، ، فَقَالَ لِلْقَوْمِ: " كُلُوا " وَهُمْ مُحْرِمُونَ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the year of Hudaybiyyah, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) set out after donning the Ihram for Umrah. During this journey, Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had also donned the Ihram, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) had already been informed that there could be an encounter with the enemy at a place called "Ghaiqah." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) set out, and I too was going along with my companions when suddenly they began to laugh upon seeing each other. When I paid attention, I saw a wild donkey. I requested their help, but they refused to help me because they were in the state of Ihram.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " " يَقْرَأُ بِنَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ، وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا، وَيُطَوِّلُ فِي الْأُولَى، وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ، وَكَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الْأُولَى، وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ، وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِنَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ " " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) led us in prayer, he would recite in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr, and sometimes he would let us hear a verse from it. In this too, he would make the first rak'ah relatively long and the second shorter. He would do the same in the Fajr prayer, making the first rak'ah long and the second comparatively shorter. And in the first two rak'ahs of Asr, he would also recite.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مَعْبَدُ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِيَّاكُمْ وَكَثْرَةَ الْحَلِفِ فِي الْبَيْعِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَفِّقُ، ثُمَّ يَمْحَقُ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Avoid excessive swearing in buying and selling, for although it makes the transaction successful, its blessing is removed.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ، ، فَقَالَ: " صَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنًا ". قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: هُوَ عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " بِالْوَفَاءِ؟ " قَالَ: بِالْوَفَاءِ. قَالَ: فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ دِرْهَمًا. (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a funeral of an Ansari was brought to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Offer the funeral prayer of your companion yourselves, for he is in debt." Upon this, Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! His debt is upon me." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Completely?" He replied, "Yes, completely." Thus, the Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer, and he had a debt of eighteen or nineteen dirhams.

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: أَنَا أَكْفُلُ بِهِ. قَالَ: " بِالْوَفَاءِ؟ " وَقَالَ حَجَّاجٌ: أَيْضًا أَنَا أَكْفُلُ بِهِ، وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ (٢)، ،

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain, but with the addition that the Prophet (ﷺ) asked them, "Do you guarantee the entire debt?" They replied, "Yes!"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا فِي مَسِيرٍ لَهُمْ فَرَأَيْتُ حِمَارَ وَحْشٍ، فَرَكِبْتُ فَرَسًا، وَأَخَذْتُ الرُّمْحَ فَقَتَلْتُهُ قَالَ: وَفِينَا الْمُحْرِمُ قَالَ: فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهُ قَالَ: فَأَشْفَقُوا. قَالَ: فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ قَالَ: فَسُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أَشَرْتُمْ أَوْ أَعَنْتُمْ أَوْ أَصِدْتُمْ؟ "، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: لَا أَدْرِي. قَالَ: " أَعَنْتُمْ؟ " أَوْ " أَصِدْتُمْ؟ "، ثُمَّ قَالُوا: لَا. فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِأَكْلِهِ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was traveling with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). I saw a wild donkey, so I quickly mounted my horse, took my spear, and hunted it. Some of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) who were in the state of Ihram ate from it, and later they became fearful. I or someone else asked the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) about this. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Did you signal? Or assist? Or lie in wait?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "No." So the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) permitted them to eat it.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ (١) ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ إِذْ مَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَوْ قَالَ: مادَ (٢) ، عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَدَعَمْتُهُ بِيَدَيَّ. قَالَ: فَاسْتَيْقَظَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ سِرْنَا. قَالَ: فَمَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَعَمْتُهُ بِيَدَيَّ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ. (٣ ثُمَّ سِرْنَا. فَمَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَعَمْتُهُ بِيَدَيَّ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ.-٣) فَقَالَ: " أَبُو قَتَادَةَ ".: فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَقَالَ: " حَفِظَكَ اللهُ كَمَا حَفِظْتَنَا مُنْذُ اللَّيْلَةِ ". ثُمَّ قَالَ: " لَا أُرَانَا إِلَّا قَدْ شَقَقْنَا عَلَيْكَ نَحِّ بِنَا عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، أَوْ مِلْ بِنَا عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، ". قَالَ: فَعَدَلْنَا عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَأَنَاخَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَتَوَسَّدَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا ذِرَاعَ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَمَا اسْتَيْقَظْنَا حَتَّى أَشْرَقَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَذَكَرَ صَوْتَ الصُّرَدِ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا، ، رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَلَكْنَا فَاتَتْنَا الصَّلَاةُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَمْ تَهْلِكُوا، وَلَمْ تَفُتْكُمُ الصَّلَاةُ إِنَّمَا تَفُوتُ الْيَقْظَانَ، وَلَا تَفُوتُ النَّائِمَ هَلْ مِنْ مَاءٍ؟ " قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِسَطِيحَةٍ، أَوْ قَالَ: مَيْضَأَةٍ، فِيهَا مَاءٌ، فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ دَفَعَهَا إِلَيَّ وَفِيهَا بَقِيَّةٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ. قَالَ: " احْتَفِظْ بِهَا؛ فَإِنَّهُ كَائِنٌ لَهَا نَبَأٌ، وَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَذَّنَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ فِي مَكَانِهِ، فَأَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلَّى صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنْ كَانَ النَّاسُ أَطَاعُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ فَقَدْ رَفَقُوا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَصَابُوا، وَإِنْ كَانُوا خَالَفُوهُمَا فَقَدْ خَرَقُوا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ". وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرُ حَيْثُ فَقَدُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَا: لِلنَّاسِ أَقِيمُوا بِالْمَاءِ حَتَّى تُصْبِحُوا فَأَبَوْا عَلَيْهِمَا، وَانْتَهَى إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ، وَقَدْ كَادُوا أَنْ يَهْلِكُوا عَطَشًا. فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَلَكْنَا فَدَعَا بِالْمِيضَأَةِ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ، فَأُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ فَوْقَ الْقَدَحِ، وَدُونَ الْقَعْبِ، فَتَأَبَّطَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَصُبُّ فِي الْإِنَاءِ، ثُمَّ يَشْرَبُ الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى شَرِبُوا كُلُّهُمْ، ثُمَّ نَادَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " هَلْ مِنْ عَالٍّ (١) ؟ " قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَدَّ الْمِيضَأَةَ، وَفِيهَا نَحْوٌ مِمَّا كَانَ فِيهَا قَالَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ؟ فَقَالَ: كَانَ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرَ ثَمَانُونَ رَجُلًا، وَكُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "If you do not reach water, you will remain thirsty." So, the hasty people went out in search of water, and I stayed with the Prophet (ﷺ). During this, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) began to doze off and leaned from his mount, so I supported him without waking him up, until he became upright on his mount. Then he leaned again, and I straightened him without waking him, until he became upright on his mount. Then he leaned even more than before, until he was about to fall. I came again and supported him, so he raised his head and said, "Who is it?" I replied, "Abu Qatadah." He (ﷺ) said, "Since when have you been walking with me like this?" I replied, "I have been walking with you like this all night." He (ﷺ) said, "May Allah protect you as you have protected the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ)." Then he (ﷺ) said, "I think we should camp." So, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) reached near a tree and camped there. Then he said, "Do you see anyone?" I replied, "Here is a rider," until seven riders gathered. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "You take care of our prayer." So we slept, and only the heat of the sun woke us up. We woke up, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) rode off from there, and we also started walking slowly. When we reached a place, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) camped and said, "Does any of you have water?" I replied, "Yes! There is a little water in my ablution vessel." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Bring it." I brought that water, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Make ablution with it." So all the people made ablution, and some water was left. Then he (ﷺ) said to Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Take care of the ablution vessel, for soon a strange matter will appear from it." Then Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the call to prayer, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) prayed two rak'ahs (Sunnah), then prayed the morning prayer. (After that) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mounted, and we also mounted with him. One of us said to another, "What will be the expiation for our mistake in prayer, that we did not wake up?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What are you people saying? If it is a worldly matter, then fine, but if it is a religious matter, then tell me as well." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! We were negligent in prayer." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is no negligence in sleep, but negligence is in wakefulness. If this happens to anyone, he should pray when he wakes up, and when the next day comes, he should pray at its time." Then he said, "What do you think the other people did?" They replied, "Yesterday you yourself said that if you do not reach water, you will remain thirsty, so people will be searching for water." The Prophet (ﷺ) himself said, "When the people woke up in the morning and did not find their Prophet (ﷺ), Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) will be behind you. It is not befitting the status of the Prophet (ﷺ) that he would leave you behind and go ahead to the water.' If those people accept the words of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), they will be guided." He said this three times. Then we reached the people when the day had advanced and the heat had increased. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), thirst has destroyed us and our necks are breaking." He (ﷺ) said, "You have not been destroyed." Then he said, "O Abu Qatadah, bring my small bowl." I brought it, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) then...

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting in the gathering of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) when a funeral passed by. He said, "This person is either one who has found relief or others have found relief from him." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by 'one who has found relief'?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A believing servant, after being freed from the hardships and troubles of the world, finds comfort in the mercy of Allah." We asked, "What is meant by 'others have found relief from him'?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "From a wicked person, people, cities, trees, and even animals find relief."

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The one who serves drinks to the people drinks last himself.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When any one of you enters the mosque, he should perform two rak‘ahs (as Tahiyyat al-Masjid) before sitting down.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ " حَامِلٌ أُمَامَةَ ابْنَةَ زَيْنَبَ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ وَضَعَهَا، وَإِذَا قَامَ حَمَلَهَا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I once saw the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) performing prayer in such a way that he had Zainab’s (may Allah be pleased with her) daughter, Umamah, on his shoulder. When the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) would stand, he would lift her up, and when he would go into bowing (ruku‘), he would put her down.

قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: مَالِكٌ، وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِيسَى، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدَةَ ابْنَةِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ كَبْشَةَ بِنْتِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: إِسْحَاقُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ ابْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا، فَسَكَبَتْ لَهُ وَضُوءَهُ، فَجَاءَتْ هِرَّةٌ تَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ، فَأَصْغَى لَهَا الْإِنَاءَ حَتَّى شَرِبَتْ. قَالَتْ كَبْشَةُ: فَرَآنِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ أَتَعْجَبِينَ يَا بِنْتَ أَخِي؟ فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ. فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ إِنَّهَا مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ، ، عَلَيْكُمْ وَالطَّوَّافَاتِ " وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَوْ " الطَّوَّافَاتِ " (١)، ،

Kabsha bint Ka'b, who was married to the son of Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), says: "Once Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her house. Kabsha placed water for his ablution. Meanwhile, a cat came and began to drink water from that vessel. Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) tilted the vessel for it, until the cat was satisfied. He saw that I was looking at him in astonishment, so he said, 'Niece! Are you surprised at this?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: It is not impure, because it is an animal that frequently comes and goes in your houses.'"

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَلَا تَقُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When the call to prayer (adhan) is given, do not stand up until you see me.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ أَنَّهُ: سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَعْبَدٍ الزِّمَّانِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَوْمِهِ فَغَضِبَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: رَضِينَا بِاللهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) about his fasting, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) became displeased. Seeing this, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our religion, and with Muhammad (ﷺ) as our Messenger." Then the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ، ، عَبْدِ رَبٍّ وَقَالَ: حَجَّاجٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَى الرُّؤْيَا تُمْرِضُنِي قَالَ: فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ فَقَالَ: وَأَنَا فَكُنْتُ لَأَرَى الرُّؤْيَا تُمْرِضُنِي حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللهِ، وَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ فَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا إِلَّا مَنْ يُحِبُّ، وَإِذَا رَأَى مَا يَكْرَهُ فَلْيَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثًا، وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ (١) وَشَرِّهَا، وَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا أَحَدًا، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ " قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ: قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لِيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ (٢)، ،

Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that sometimes I used to see frightening dreams which would make me ill. One day I met Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) and I mentioned this to him. He said that sometimes I also used to see such dreams which would make me ill, until I heard the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) say: Good dreams are from Allah, so when any of you sees a good dream, he should relate it only to the one whom he loves. And whoever sees a disliked dream should not mention it to anyone, but after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. In this way, that dream will not harm him.

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ أَنَّهُ: سَمِعَ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ يَقُولُ: " بَيْنَا نَحْنُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ جُلُوسٌ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحْمِلُ أُمَامَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، وَأُمُّهَا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهِيَ صَبِيَّةٌ فَحَمَلَهَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ يَضَعُهَا إِذَا رَكَعَ، وَيُعِيدُهَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ إِذَا قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ (١) حَتَّى قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ بِهَا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting in the mosque when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came out. The Prophet (ﷺ) was carrying Zainab’s (may Allah be pleased with her) daughter, Umamah bint Abi Al-As. Whenever the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stood up, he would pick her up, and when he went into ruku (bowing), he would put her down.

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّهُ: سَمِعَ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ: قَامَ فِيهِمْ فَذَكَرَ لَهُمُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَالْإِيمَانَ بِاللهِ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ الْأَعْمَالِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تُكَفِّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " نَعَمْ. إِنْ قُتِلْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ ". ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟ " قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تُكَفِّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " نَعَمْ. إِنْ قُتِلْتَ وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ، فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stood among the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and mentioned that striving in the path of Allah (jihad fi sabilillah) and having faith in Allah are the most virtuous of all deeds. Then a man stood up and asked the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, if I am martyred in the path of Allah, will Allah, by its blessing, expiate all my sins?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes! If you are martyred in the path of Allah in such a way that you remained steadfast with the intention of reward, advanced forward, and did not retreat, then Allah will expiate your sins." After some time had passed, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "What did you say?" He repeated the same question, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) gave the same answer, but with this exception: "Except for debt. Jibreel (peace be upon him) informed me of this in the same way."

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجِنَازَةٍ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ: " عَلَيْهِ (١) دَيْنٌ؟ " قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. دِينَارَانِ. فَقَالَ: " تَرَكَ لَهُمَا وَفَاءً؟ " قَالُوا: لَا. قَالَ: " فَصَلُّوا عَلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ ". فَقَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: هُمَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a funeral was brought to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Has he left any debt behind?" The people replied, "Yes! Two dinars." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Has he left anything in inheritance?" The people replied, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then you should offer the funeral prayer of your companion yourselves." Upon this, Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! His debt is upon me." Thus, the Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ الصَّوَّافُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلَا تَقُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي " (٣)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When the call to prayer (adhan) is given, do not stand up until you see me.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Fasting on the Day of Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) is an expiation for two years, and fasting on the Day of Ashura is an expiation for one year.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I once saw the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) performing prayer in such a way that he had Umamah, the daughter of Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), on his shoulders. Whenever the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would stand, he would lift her up, and when he would go into bowing (ruku‘), he would put her down. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain, but in this one it is also specified that this incident took place during the Fajr prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَأَحْرَمَ أَصْحَابِي، وَلَمْ أُحْرِمْ فَرَأَيْتُ حِمَارًا فَحَمَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَاصْطَدْتُهُ، فَذَكَرْتُ شَأْنَهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَذَكَرْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَحْرَمْتُ، وَأَنِّي إِنَّمَا اصْطَدْتُهُ لَكَ: " فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَصْحَابَهُ فَأَكَلُوا، وَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ حِينَ أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنِّي اصْطَدْتُهُ لَهُ " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the year of Hudaybiyyah, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) set out after donning the Ihram for Umrah. I was also with him, but on this journey, I had not donned the Ihram, although my companions had donned the Ihram. On the way, I saw a wild donkey. I attacked it myself and hunted it. I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah that I had hunted a wild donkey, and also that I had not donned the Ihram, and that I had hunted it for you. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) told the people: "Eat it." However, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) did not eat it himself because I had told him that I had hunted it for him.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ (١) يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ: قَدِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَتَلَقَّاهُ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَقَالَ: أَمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ قَالَ: " إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً " قَالَ: فَبِمَ أَمَرَكُمْ؟ قَالَ: أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَصْبِرَ. قَالَ: فَاصْبِرُوا إِذًا (٢)،

Abdullah bin Muhammad says that once Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah Munawwarah, where he met Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "After me, you will face favoritism." Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Then what did the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) command you to do at that time?" He replied, "The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) commanded us to be patient." Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then you all should be patient."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ الدِّيلِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فَمُرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ: " مُسْتَرِيحٌ وَمُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهُ ". قَالَ: قُلْنَا: أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا مُسْتَرِيحٌ؟ وَمُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ: " الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ يَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ نَصَبِ الدُّنْيَا وَهَمِّهَا إِلَى رَحْمَةِ اللهِ، وَالْعَبْدُ الْفَاجِرُ يَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْهُ، ، الْعِبَادُ وَالْبِلَادُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَابُّ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a funeral passed by the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), and he said: "This person is either one who has found relief or others have found relief from him." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) What is meant by the one who has found relief?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: "A believing servant finds relief from the hardships and troubles of the world and attains comfort in the mercy of Allah." We asked, "What is meant by 'others have found relief from him'?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: "From a wicked person, people, cities, trees, and even animals find relief."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَلْقَى مِنَ الرُّؤْيَا شِدَّةً غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أُزَمَّلُ حَتَّى حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قَتَادَةَ أَنَّهُ: سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " الرُّؤْيَا مِنَ اللهِ، وَالْحُلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمْ حُلْمًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثَ بَصَقَاتٍ، وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ " (٢)،

Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that sometimes I used to see frightening dreams, but I did not let them become a burden on myself until one day I met Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). I mentioned this matter to him, so he narrated this hadith to me: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Good dreams are from Allah and bad dreams are from Satan. Therefore, whoever sees a disliked dream should not mention it to anyone. Rather, after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. In this way, that dream will not harm him."

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُثَمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، سَمِعَ عَامِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ، ، الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ " قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: وَقَالَ أَبِي: وَحَدَّثَنَا مُرَّةُ فَقَالَ: عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When any one of you enters the mosque, he should perform two rak'ahs (as Tahiyyat al-Masjid) before sitting down.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) used to lead us in prayer, and in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr and Asr, he would recite Surah Al-Fatihah and another surah, and sometimes he would let us hear a verse from it. In the last two rak'ahs, he would recite only Surah Al-Fatihah. In the Fajr prayer, he would make the first rak'ah long.

Abu Salamah, may Allah have mercy on him, says that "the companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and horseman" narrated that it is reported from Abu Qatadah, may Allah be pleased with him, that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Good dreams are from Allah and bad dreams are from Satan. Therefore, if anyone sees a disliked dream, he should not mention it to anyone, but after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left side and seek refuge in Allah from its evil; in this way, the dream will not harm him.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I entered the Prophet’s Mosque and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was sitting among the people. I also went and sat in the gathering.

The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When any one of you enters the mosque, he should not sit until he has offered two rak‘ahs.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Sometimes I stand to lead the prayer with the intention of making it long, but then I hear the cry of a child, so I shorten my prayer so that this may not cause hardship for his mother.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ (١) ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانُوا مُحْرِمِينَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا، فَبَصُرَ بِصَيْدٍ فَأَخَذَ سَوْطًا فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَصَادَهُ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ وَأَكَلْنَا، ثُمَّ تَزَوَّدْنَا مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ فُلَانًا كَانَ مُحِلًّا، أَوْ حَلَالًا، فَأَصَابَ صَيْدًا وَإِنَّهُ أَكَلَ مِنْهُ، وَأَكَلْنَا مَعَهُ وَمَعَنَا مِنْهُ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كُلُوا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was with some companions of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). All of them were in the state of Ihram except for one man. That man saw a game animal, took his whip, attacked it, and hunted it. Then he ate from it, and we also ate from it, and we also saved some of it as provision for the journey. When we reached the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), we said, "O Messenger of Allah! That man was not in the state of Ihram; he hunted the animal, he ate from it, and so did we, and we still have a little of its meat left." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You may eat it."

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مَعْبَدُ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ رِبْعِيٍّ قَالَ: بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى سَيْفِ الْبَحْرِ فِي بَعْضِ عُمَرِهِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَوَعَدَنَا أَنْ نَلْقَاهُ بِقُدَيْدٍ فَخَرَجْنَا وَمِنَّا الْحَلَالُ، وَمِنَّا الْحَرَامُ قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ حَلَالًا فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ: وَفِيهِ هَذِهِ الْعَضُدُ قَدْ شَوَيْتُهَا وَأَنْضَجْتُهَا وَأَطَبْتُهَا (١) . قَالَ: " فَهَاتِهَا ". قَالَ: فَجِئْتُهُ بِهَا فَنَهَسَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ، ، صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ حَرَامٌ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sent us with an army towards "Saif al-Bahr" on the occasion of one of his Umrahs, and it was agreed with us that we would meet at the place "Qudayd." So we set out; some of us were in the state of Ihram and some were not, and I was among those who were not in Ihram. Then he mentioned the complete hadith and said: "This is the foreleg that is left, which I have roasted and cooked very well." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Bring it here." I brought it to him, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) began to tear it with his teeth and eat it (because it is easily digestible), while the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was in the state of Ihram, until he finished eating it.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ مَوْلَى بَنِي تَيْمٍ (٢) ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ نَافِعٍ الْأَقْرَعِ مَوْلَى بَنِي غِفَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ لَمْ يَزِدْ وَلَمْ يَنْقُصْ (٣)،

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ (٤) مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مِنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَسَيَرَانِي فِي الْيَقَظَةِ، أَوْ فَكَأَنَّمَا رَآنِي فِي الْيَقَظَةِ، لَا يَتَمَثَّلُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِي "، ، فَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: وقَالَ: أَبُو قَتَادَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ رَآنِي فَقَدْ رَأَى (١) الْحَقَّ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Whoever is blessed with seeing me in a dream, he will soon see me while awake, or he should be certain that he has indeed seen me, for Satan does not have the power to assume my form or appearance. It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Whoever is blessed with seeing me in a dream, he should be certain that he has indeed seen me.

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّهُ: حَدَّثَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: أَبِي (١) ، وَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ الْأَقْرَعِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي غِفَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: رَأَيْتُ رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِ مُسْلِمٌ وَمُشْرِكٌ، وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُعِينَ صَاحِبَهُ الْمُشْرِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَضَرَبْتُ يَدَهُ فَقَطَعْتُهَا، وَاعْتَنَقَنِي بِيَدِهِ الْأُخْرَى فَوَاللهِ مَا أَرْسَلَنِي حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ رِيحَ الْمَوْتِ، فَلَوْلَا أَنَّ الدَّمَ نَزَفَهُ لَقَتَلَنِي فَسَقَطَ فَضَرَبْتُهُ فَقَتَلْتُهُ وَأَجْهَضَنِي عَنْهُ الْقِتَالُ، وَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَسَلَبَهُ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا وَوَضَعَتِ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَتَلَ قَتِيلًا فَسَلَبُهُ لَهُ ". قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ قَتَلْتُ قَتِيلًا ذَا سَلَبِ فَأَجْهَضَنِي عَنْهُ الْقِتَالُ، فَلَا أَدْرِي، ، مَنِ اسْتَلَبَهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَا سَلَبْتُهُ فَأَرْضِهِ عَنِّي مِنْ سَلَبِهِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: تَعْمِدُ إِلَى أَسَدٍ مِنْ أُسْدِ اللهِ يُقَاتِلُ عَنِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تُقَاسِمُهُ سَلَبَهُ ارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ سَلَبَ قَتِيلِهِ. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " صَدَقَ فَارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ سَلَبَ قَتِيلِهِ " قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ: فَأَخَذْتُهُ مِنْهُ فَبِعْتُهُ فَاشْتَرَيْتُ بِثَمَنِهِ مَخْرَفًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَإِنَّهُ لَأَوَّلُ مَالٍ اعْتَقَدْتُهُ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I saw two men, a Muslim and a polytheist, fighting on the battlefield. Then suddenly I saw a polytheist who was advancing to help his polytheist companion against the Muslim. I reached him and struck his hand, which cut off his hand. He grabbed my neck with his other hand, and by Allah! He did not let me go until I felt the knock of death, and if his blood had not flowed so much, he would have killed me. Anyway, he fell, and I killed him, and I myself became exhausted. Meanwhile, a man from the people of Makkah passed by him and took all his equipment and left. When we were done and the flames of battle had subsided, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said that whoever has killed a disbeliever, his equipment belongs to him. Upon this, I said, O Messenger of Allah! I killed a man who had a lot of equipment, but after killing him I became so exhausted that I did not know who took his equipment. A man, who was from the people of Makkah, said, O Messenger of Allah! He is telling the truth, I took his equipment, so please give him something else from me regarding his equipment (and let this equipment remain with me). Upon hearing this, Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said, Do you want to distribute the equipment of a lion among the lions of Allah, "who fights in the way of Allah"? Return his equipment to him. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, Abu Bakr has spoken the truth, return the equipment of his slain to him. So I took it and sold it, and with its price I bought a garden in Madinah Munawwarah, which was the first wealth I had ever bought.

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ سَمِعَ جَلَبَةَ رِجَالٍ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى دَعَاهُمْ فَقَالَ: " مَا شَأْنُكُمْ؟ " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اسْتَعْجَلْنَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ. قَالَ: " فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّكِينَةَ، فَمَا أَدْرَكْتُمْ فَصَلُّوا، وَمَا سُبِقْتُمْ (١) فَأَتِمُّوا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were praying with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) when we heard the sound of some people running. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) called them after finishing the prayer and asked, "What was the matter?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah! We wanted to join the prayer quickly." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not do so. When you come for prayer, make calmness and tranquility obligatory upon yourselves. Pray as much as you catch, and complete what you miss."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْلَمَةَ (١) قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا نَضْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِعَمَّارٍ حِينَ جَعَلَ يَحْفِرُ الْخَنْدَقَ وَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ وَيَقُولُ: " بُؤْسَ ابْنِ سُمَيَّةَ تَقْتُلُكَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person better than me narrated to me: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) began digging the trench, he would dust off the head of Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) and would say, "O son of Sumayyah! Alas, a rebellious group will martyr you."

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ يَحْيَى مِنْ أَهْلِ مَرْوَ، أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي أَبُو قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِعَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ: " تَقْتُلُكَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him): "O son of Sumayyah! A rebellious group will martyr you."

حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُصَيْنُ (١) بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: سَرَيْنَا (٢) مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ فِي سَفَرٍ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَوْ عَرَّسْتَ بِنَا فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَنَامُوا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَمَنْ يُوقِظُنَا لِلصَّلَاةِ؟ " فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: فَعَرَّسَ بِالْقَوْمِ فَاضْطَجَعْنَا وَاسْتَنَدَ بِلَالٌ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ وَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ طَلَعَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ: " يَا بِلَالُ أَيْنَ مَا قُلْتَ لَنَا؟ " قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أُلْقِيَتْ عَلَيَّ نَوْمَةٌ مِثْلُهَا، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ قَبَضَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ حِينَ شَاءَ وَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْكُمْ حِينَ شَاءَ "، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُمْ فَانْتَشَرُوا لِحَاجَتِهِمْ، وَتَوَضَّئُوا (٣)، ، فَارْتَفَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ الْفَجْرَ (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out on a journey with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). At night, we said, "O Messenger of Allah! If we camp for a little while, it would be better." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I fear that you may sleep through the time of prayer, so who will wake us for the prayer?" Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! I will wake you." So the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) camped, and we all lay down. Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) also sat leaning against his mount, and he too fell asleep. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) woke up when the sun had already risen. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) woke Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Bilal! What happened to the thing you told us?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah! By the One Who sent you with the truth, such sleep has never overcome me before." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah, the Exalted, kept your souls in His possession for as long as He willed, and then returned them when He willed." Then he ordered the people, so they dispersed to relieve themselves, performed ablution, and when the sun had risen high, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) led them in the Fajr prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي حَسَّانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَهُ فِي طَلِيعَةٍ قِبَلَ غَيْقَةَ، وَوَدَّانَ وَهُوَ، ، مُحْرِمٌ، وَأَبُو قَتَادَةَ غَيْرُ مُحْرِمٍ، فَإِذَا حِمَارُ وَحْشٍ فَطَلَبَ مِنْهُمْ سَوْطًا فَلَمْ يُنَاوِلُوهُ، فَاخْتَلَسَ سَوْطَ بَعْضِهِمْ فَصَادَ حِمَارًا وَحْشِيًّا فَأَكَلُوهُ، ثُمَّ لَحِقُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَالْأَبْوَاءِ قَالُوا: إِنَّا صَنَعْنَا شَيْئًا لَا نَدْرِي مَا هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ: " أَطْعِمُونَا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sent a detachment towards Ghaiqah and Waddan. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was in the state of Ihram, but Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had not put on Ihram. Suddenly, I saw a wild donkey. I requested them to hand me a whip, but they refused to help me because they were in the state of Ihram. Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) quickly took a whip from one of them and hunted that wild donkey. The people ate it, and when we met the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) at the place of Abwa, we submitted that we had done something whose reality we do not know. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Feed us from it as well.

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلَا تَقُومُوا، ، حَتَّى تَرَوْنِي " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When the Iqamah for prayer is called, do not stand up until you see me.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he killed a disbeliever, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) gave him his equipment and armor, which he sold for five uqiyah.

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو صَخْرٍ، أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ النَّضْرِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ لِلْأَنْصَارِ " أَلَا إِنَّ النَّاسَ دِثَارِي. وَالْأَنْصَارَ شِعَارِي لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَسَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ شِعْبَةً لَاتَّبَعْتُ شِعْبَةَ الْأَنْصَارِ، وَلَوْلَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَمَنْ وَلِيَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلْيُحْسِنْ إِلَى مُحْسِنِهِمْ، وَلْيَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ، وَمَنْ، ، أَفْزَعَهُمْ فَقَدْ أَفْزَعَ هَذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَ هَاتَيْنِ " وَأَشَارَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say from the pulpit regarding the Ansar: "Behold! People are like an outer garment for me, and the Ansar are like an inner garment for me (which is in contact with the body). If people walk on one path and the Ansar on another, I will walk on the path of the Ansar. If there had been no migration, I would have been one of the Ansar myself. Therefore, whoever becomes responsible for the affairs of the Ansar should treat their righteous well and overlook the faults of their wrongdoers. And whoever frightens them, frightens the one who is between these two pillars," meaning the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) himself.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ فِي صَوْمِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ: جَاءَ هَذَا مِنْ قِبَلِكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ حَدَّثَنِيهِ أَبُو الْخَلِيلِ، عَنْ حَرْمَلَةَ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: كَلِمَةً تُشْبِهُ عَدْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: " صَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ بِصَوْمِ سَنَتَيْنِ، وَصَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ بِصَوْمِ سَنَةٍ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said words to the effect that the fast of Arafah is an expiation for two years, and the fast of Ashura is an expiation for one year.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ (١) : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ: " يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ، وَكَانَ يُسْمِعُنَا الْأَحْيَانَ الْآيَةَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ: وَكَانَ، ، يُطِيلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى مَا لَا يُطِيلُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ، وَهَكَذَا فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، وَهَكَذَا فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ " قَالَ عَفَّانُ: وَأَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْعَطَّارُ مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) used to lead us in prayer, and in the first two rak‘ahs of Zuhr and ‘Asr, he would recite Surah Al-Fatihah and another surah, and sometimes he would let us hear a verse from it. In the last two rak‘ahs, he would recite only Surah Al-Fatihah. In the Fajr prayer, he would make the first rak‘ah long.

Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had a debt upon a man. When he would go to demand it from him, the man would hide. One day, he reached his house and a child came out from there.

Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) called out his name and said, "Come outside, I have found out that you are inside." He came outside, so he asked him, "Why do you keep hiding from me?" He said, "I am destitute and I have nothing." He said, "Swear by Allah that you have nothing?" He said, "Indeed, it is so." Upon this, Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and said, "I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: Whoever gives respite to his debtor or forgives his debt, he will be under the shade of the Throne of Allah on the Day of Resurrection."

O Allah! Make Madinah as beloved to us in our hearts as You have made Makkah beloved to us, and transfer its diseases to “Khumm.” O Allah! I declare the area between the two boundaries of Madinah as sacred, just as You declared Makkah sacred through the words of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).

I said, 'Yes!' He said, 'The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: It is not impure, because it is an animal that frequently comes into your houses.'"

Rather, after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left side and seek Allah’s protection from its evil. In this way, that dream will not harm him.

The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "His fasting and not fasting are both the same." The questioner asked, "How about fasting for two days and leaving one day?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Who has the strength for that?" The questioner asked, "How about leaving two days and fasting one day?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perhaps this is praiseworthy in the sight of Allah." The questioner asked, "How about fasting one day and leaving one day?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That is the way of my brother, Dawood (peace be upon him)." The questioner asked about fasting on Mondays and Thursdays. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On that day I was born and on that day revelation was sent down to me. Fasting three days in every month and fasting the whole month of Ramadan is equal to fasting all the time." The questioner asked, "What is the ruling on fasting on the Day of Arafah?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is an expiation for the sins of the previous and coming year." The questioner asked about the ruling of fasting on the Day of Ashura, so he said, "It is an expiation for the sins of the previous year."

So the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) led his funeral prayer.

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) led us in prayer, he would recite (Qur'an) in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr, and sometimes he would let us hear a verse from it. In this too, he would make the first rak'ah relatively long and the second shorter. He would do the same in the Fajr prayer, making the first rak'ah long and the second comparatively shorter. And in the first two rak'ahs of Asr as well, he would recite (Qur'an).
