Hadith of Abu Bakrah Nufay‘ ibn al-Harith ibn Kuladah (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ نُفَيْعِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ كَلَدَةَ (١)، ٢٠٣٧٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا بَحْرُ بْنُ مَرَّارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا أُمَاشِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِي، وَرَجُلٌ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِقَبْرَيْنِ أَمَامَنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ، وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ، (٢) وَبَلَى، فَأَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِي بِجَرِيدَةٍ؟ " فَاسْتَبَقْنَا، فَسَبَقْتُهُ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِجَرِيدَةٍ، فَكَسَرَهَا نِصْفَيْنِ، فَأَلْقَى عَلَى ذَا الْقَبْرِ قِطْعَةً، وَعَلَى ذَا الْقَبْرِ قِطْعَةً، وَقَالَ: "، ، إِنَّهُ يُهَوَّنُ عَلَيْهِمَا مَا كَانَتَا رَطْبَتَيْنِ، وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ إِلَّا فِي الْبَوْلِ، وَالْغِيبَةِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet (ﷺ) was holding my hand, and there was a man on the left side as well. Suddenly, two graves appeared before us. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "These two men are being punished, and not for a major sin." He asked, "Who among you will bring me a branch?" We rushed, and I got ahead of them and brought a branch to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) divided it into two parts and placed a piece on each grave and said, "As long as these remain fresh, their punishment will be lightened." And both of them are being punished only because of urine and backbiting.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ،، ، وَوَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ، (١) وَيَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا مِنْ ذَنْبٍ أَحْرَى أَنْ يُعَجِّلَ لِصَاحِبِهِ (٢) الْعُقُوبَةَ مَعَ مَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، مِنْ بَغْيٍ، أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ "، قَالَ وَكِيعٌ: " أَنْ يُعَجِّلَ اللهُ "، وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ: " يُعَجِّلُ اللهُ "، وَقَالَ: " مَعَ مَا يُدَّخَرُ لَهُ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: There is no sin more deserving than rebellion and severing of family ties, for which the sinner is punished immediately in this world along with the punishment of the Hereafter.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: Seek the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan—on the twenty-first night, the twenty-third night, the twenty-fifth night, the twenty-seventh night, or the last night.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَأَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَتَلَ مُعَاهَدًا فِي غَيْرِ كُنْهِهِ، حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ "، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: " كُنْهُهُ: حَقٌّ " (١) (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: There are two sins whose punishment is given immediately, there is no delay in it: rebellion and severing ties of kinship.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: After me, there will come a people in my Ummah who will be very swift and harsh. They will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go below their throats. Whenever you encounter them, kill them, for the one who kills them will be rewarded.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ ثُرْمُلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا مُعَاهَدَةً بِغَيْرِ حِلِّهَا، حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ أَنْ يَجِدَ رِيحَهَا " (١)، ،

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Those people (i.e., Juhainah, Aslam, Ghifar, and Muzainah) are better than Banu Tamim, Banu Amir, Banu Asad, and Banu Ghatafan.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ:، وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ مَرَّةً (١) : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ (٢) الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ. . . "، قَالَ: وَذُكِرَ الْكَبَائِرُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ، وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ "، وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسَ، وَقَالَ: " وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ، وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ، وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ "، أَوْ " قَوْلُ الزُّورِ (٣) ، وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ "، فَمَا، ، زَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكَرِّرُهَا حَتَّى قُلْنَا: لَيْتَهُ سَكَتَ (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when the mention of major sins began. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The greatest major sin is associating partners with Allah and disobedience to parents. The Prophet (ﷺ) was reclining, then he sat up straight and said several times: false testimony, false speech. The Prophet (ﷺ) repeated this so many times that we began to think that he would remain silent.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ فِي حَجَّتِهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا إِنَّ، ، الزَّمَانَ قَدْ اسْتَدَارَ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اللهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ، السَّنَةُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ، ثَلَاثٌ مُتَوَالِيَاتٌ: ذُو الْقَعْدَةِ، وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ، وَالْمُحَرَّمُ، وَرَجَبُ مُضَرَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ جُمَادَى وَشَعْبَانَ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَلَا أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟ " قُلْنَا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ، قَالَ: " أَلَيْسَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ؟ " قُلْنَا: بَلَى، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا؟ " قُلْنَا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَيْسَ ذَا الْحِجَّةِ؟ " قُلْنَا: بَلَى، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟ " قُلْنَا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ، قَالَ: " أَلَيْسَتِ الْبَلْدَةَ؟ " قُلْنَا: بَلَى، قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ، قَالَ: وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ، عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ، كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا، وَسَتَلْقَوْنَ (١) رَبَّكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، أَلَا لَا تَرْجِعُنَّ (٢) بَعْدِي ضُلَّالًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ، أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ أَلَا لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ مِنْكُمْ، فَلَعَلَّ مَنْ يُبَلَّغُهُ يَكُونُ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ يَسْمَعُهُ "، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: " وَقَدْ كَانَ ذَاكَ "، قَالَ: " كَانَ (٣)، ، بَعْضُ مَنْ بُلِّغَهُ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage and said: "Behold! Time has returned to its original state as it was on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth. The year consists of twelve months, of which four are sacred months. Three of them are consecutive: Dhu al-Qa'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and Muharram, and the fourth is Rajab, which comes between Jumada al-Thani and Sha'ban." Then he said, "Tell me, what day is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he would give it another name. But then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr)?" We replied, "Yes, indeed." Then he said, "What month is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he would give it another name. But then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the month of Dhu al-Hijjah?" We replied, "Yes, indeed." Then he said, "What city is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent as before, then said, "Is it not the Sacred City (Makkah)?" We replied, "Yes, indeed." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your lives, your wealth, and your honor are as sacred to one another as the sanctity of this day, in this month, in this city. Soon you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me, striking the necks of one another. Have I conveyed the message of Allah?" Let those who are present convey it to those who are absent, for sometimes the one to whom the message is conveyed may preserve it better than the one who heard it." The narrator says that it happened just as he said.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ، قَعَدَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ، وَأَخَذَ رَجُلٌ بِزِمَامِهِ، أَوْ بِخِطَامِهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَيُّ يَوْمٍ يَوْمُكُمْ هَذَا؟ " قَالَ: فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ، قَالَ: " أَلَيْسَ بِالنَّحْرِ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْنَا: بَلَى، قَالَ: " فَأَيُّ شَهْرٍ شَهْرُكُمْ هَذَا؟ " قَالَ: فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَيْسَ بِذِي الْحِجَّةِ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْنَا: بَلَى، قَالَ: " فَأَيُّ بَلَدٍ بَلَدُكُمْ هَذَا؟ " قَالَ: فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَيْسَ بِالْبَلْدَةِ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْنَا: بَلَى، قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ حَرَامٌ، كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا، أَلَا فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ، فَإِنَّ الشَّاهِدَ (١) عَسَى أَنْ يُبَلِّغَهُ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْهُ " قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: قَدْ كَانَ ذَاكَ (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Farewell Pilgrimage mounted a camel to deliver a sermon. A man held its rein, then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Tell me, what day is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he might give it another name. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr)?" We replied, "Why not." Then he said, "What month is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he might give it another name. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the month of Dhu al-Hijjah?" We replied, "Why not." Then he said, "What city is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent as before, then said, "Is it not the Sacred City (Makkah)?" We replied, "Why not."

And soon you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me, striking the necks of one another. Have I conveyed the message of Allah?" Let those present convey this message to those who are absent, for sometimes the one to whom the message is conveyed may preserve it better than the one who heard it." The narrator says that it happened just like that.

حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: " لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِنَّا لَنَرْمُلُ بِالْجِنَازَةِ رَمَلًا " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I have seen the time when we used to walk quickly in a funeral procession along with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يَقْضِي الْقَاضِي بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: No ruler should judge between two people while he is angry.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، وَرِبْعِىُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: كَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَامَ يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ مُسْتَعْجِلًا حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ، وَثَابَ النَّاسُ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَجُلِّيَ عَنْهَا، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللهِ، يُخَوِّفُ بِهِمَا عِبَادَهُ، وَلَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ ابْنُهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَاتَ، فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهُمَا شَيْئًا، فَصَلُّوا وَادْعُوا حَتَّى (٢) يُكْشَفَ (٣) مَا بِكُمْ "، (٤)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Prophet (ﷺ), there was once a solar eclipse. The Prophet (ﷺ) hurriedly came out, dragging his garment, and reached the mosque. The people also quickly gathered. The Prophet (ﷺ) performed two rak'ahs until the sun became completely bright. The Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards us and said: "The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah, by which Allah frightens His servants. They do not eclipse because of anyone's death. In fact, on that very day, the son of the Prophet (ﷺ), Ibrahim, had passed away. When you see such a thing, perform prayer and supplicate until the calamity is over."

حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ، فَوَثَبَ فَزِعًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) on the pulpit and Imam Hasan was with him.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: It is not appropriate for a ruler to decide between two people while he is in a state of anger.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when the mention of major sins began. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The greatest major sin is associating partners with Allah and disobedience to parents. The Prophet (ﷺ) was reclining, then he sat up straight and repeatedly said: False testimony, false speech. The Prophet (ﷺ) repeated this so many times that we began to think that he would remain silent.

Abu Uthman says that I heard Sa’d saying: My ears have heard this from the Prophet (peace be upon him) and my heart has preserved it, that whoever, in the state of Islam, attributes his fatherhood to someone other than his real father, knowing that he is not his father, then Paradise is forbidden for him. And Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I too heard this from the Prophet (peace be upon him) with my own ears and preserved it in my heart.

Uyaina narrates from his father: I participated in the funeral of Abdur Rahman bin Samurah. Some people from his family turned their faces towards the funeral and started walking backwards on their heels, saying, "Walk slowly, may Allah bless you." On the way to Marbad, Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) also joined the funeral. When he saw those people and their action, he moved his mule towards them, rushed with a whip, and said, "Leave its way! By the One who honored the face of Abu al-Qasim, I have seen myself with the Prophet (peace be upon him) that we used to walk quickly while carrying the funeral."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، وَعَنْ رَجُلٍ، آخَرَ (١) وَهُوَ فِي نَفْسِي أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: قَالَ غَيْرُ أَبِي: عَنْ يَحْيَى فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ: " أُفَضِّلُ فِي نَفْسِي حُمَيْدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ (٢) "، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ بِمِنًى، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟ " قُلْنَا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَيْسَ بِيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ؟ " قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " أَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟ " قُلْنَا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: " أَلَيْسَ بِالْبَلْدَةِ؟ " قُلْنَا: بَلَى، ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ، وَأَبْشَارَكُمْ حَرَامٌ، كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا، أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ ‍ " قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " اللهُمَّ اشْهَدْ، لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ، فَإِنَّهُ رُبَّ مُبَلِّغٍ يُبَلِّغُهُ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْهُ " فَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ وَقَالَ: " لَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ "، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ حَرْقِ ابْنِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، حَرَّقَهُ جَارِيَةُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ قَالَ: أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا أَبُو بَكَرَةَ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: فَحَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ قَالَ: " لَوْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيَّ (١) مَا بَهَشْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِقَصَبَةٍ " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon at Mina during the Farewell Pilgrimage and said: "Tell me, what day is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he might give it another name. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr)?" We replied, "Yes, indeed." Then he said, "What month is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he might give it another name. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the month of Dhu al-Hijjah?" We replied, "Yes, indeed." Then he said, "What city is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent as before, then said, "Is it not the Sacred City (Makkah)?" We replied, "Yes, indeed." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your lives, your wealth, and your honor are as sacred to each other as the sanctity of this day, in this month, in this city. Soon you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me, striking the necks of one another. Have I conveyed the message of Allah?" Let those who are present convey this message to those who are absent, for sometimes the one to whom the message is conveyed may preserve it better than the one who heard it." The narrator says that this is what happened. On the day when Jariyah bin Qudamah burned Ibn Hazrami in the fire, they approached Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said, "Here is Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him)." The narrator says that Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If these people come to me, I would not attack them even with a stick."

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ الشَّحَّامُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ: " اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ، وَالْفَقْرِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ " (١)،

Then a man said: They will be deprived and in loss. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, those people are better than us.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ بَحْرِ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَرَّ عَلَى قَبْرَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: " مَنْ يَأْتِينِي بِجَرِيدَةِ نَخْلٍ؟ (١) " قَالَ: فَاسْتَبَقْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ، فَجِئْنَا بِعَسِيبٍ، فَشَقَّهُ بِاثْنَيْنِ (٢) ، فَجَعَلَ عَلَى هَذَا وَاحِدَةً، وَعَلَى هَذَا وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمَا مَا كَانَ فِيهِمَا مِنْ بُلُولَتِهِمَا شَيْءٌ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ فِي الْغِيبَةِ وَالْبَوْلِ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ), the Prophet (ﷺ) was holding my hand, and there was a man on the left side as well. Suddenly, two graves appeared before us. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "These two men are being punished, and not for a major sin." He asked, "Who among you will bring me a branch?" We rushed, and I got ahead of them and brought a branch to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) divided it into two parts and placed a piece on each grave and said, "As long as these remain fresh, their punishment will be lightened." And both of them are being punished only because of urine and backbiting.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ الشَّحَّامُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ، الْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْجَالِسِ، وَالْجَالِسُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ، وَالْقَائِمُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمَاشِي، وَالْمَاشِي خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي "، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَعْمِدْ إِلَى سَيْفِهِ، فَلْيَضْرِبْ بِحَدِّهِ صَخْرَةً، ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاةَ، ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاةَ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Soon there will be tribulations in which the one lying down will be better than the one sitting, and the one sitting will be better than the one standing, and the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one walking will be better than the one running. A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you command me to do then?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever has camels should go to his camels, and whoever has goats should go to his goats, and whoever has land should go to his land, and whoever has nothing should take his sword and strike its edge on a rock. And if he can save himself, let him save himself; if he can save himself, let him save himself.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) once mentioned a region called Basrah, on one side of which flows a river named Dijlah (Tigris), and it is an area with many gardens. There, the Banu Qantura (Turks) will come and settle. Then the people will be divided into three groups: one group will join their origin and they will be destroyed; one group will transgress against themselves and disbelieve; and one group will leave their children behind and fight. Their slain will be martyrs, and through the remaining people of this group, the Muslims will achieve victory.

Al-‘Awwam said: Banu Qantura are the Turks.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man presented himself in the court of the Messenger and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which person is the best?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are good." The questioner asked, "And who is the worst person?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are bad."

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ: قُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ (١) ، وَلَا صُمْتُهُ كُلَّهُ "، قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: وقَالَ يَزِيدُ مَرَّةً: قَالَ قَتَادَةُ (٢) : " اللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَخَافَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ التَّزْكِيَةَ، أَوْ لَا بُدَّ (٣) مِنْ رَاقِدٍ أَوْ غَافِلٍ (٤) ؟ "،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: None of you should say, "I stood in prayer and fasted for the entire Ramadan," because there is no way to avoid heedlessness or sleep. It may happen that he sleeps through a day.

Abdur Rahman narrates that once the mention of Laylat al-Qadr was made in the presence of Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: I will seek it only in the last ten nights because I heard something from the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding it. I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan—on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, or 27th night, or on the last night.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، (٤) أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَمْكُثُ أَبَوَا الدَّجَّالِ ثَلَاثِينَ عَامًا لَا يُولَدُ لَهُمَا، ثُمَّ يُولَدُ لَهُمَا غُلَامٌ أَعْوَرُ، أَضَرُّ شَيْءٍ وَأَقَلُّهُ نَفْعًا، تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ، وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ "، ثُمَّ نَعَتَ أَبَوَيْهِ فَقَالَ: " أَبُوهُ رَجُلٌ طُوَالٌ، مُضْطَرِبُ اللَّحْمِ، طَوِيلُ الْأَنْفِ، كَأَنَّ أَنْفَهُ مِنْقَارٌ، وَأُمُّهُ امْرَأَةٌ فِرْضَاخِيَّةٌ، عَظِيمَةُ الثَّدْيَيْنِ " قَالَ: " فَبَلَغَنَا أَنَّ مَوْلُودًا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وُلِدَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ "، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِ، فَرَأَيْنَا فِيهِمَا نَعْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَإِذَا هُوَ مُنْجَدِلٌ فِي الشَّمْسِ فِي قَطِيفَةٍ لَهُ هَمْهَمَةٌ، فَسَأَلْنَا أَبَوَيْهِ، فَقَالَا: مَكَثْنَا ثَلَاثِينَ عَامًا لَا يُولَدُ لَنَا، ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَنَا غُلَامٌ أَعْوَرُ، أَضَرُّ شَيْءٍ وَأَقَلُّهُ نَفْعًا، فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مَرَرْنَا بِهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُمَا فِيهِ؟ قُلْنَا: وَسَمِعْتَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ إِنَّهُ، ، تَنَامُ عَيْنَايَ، وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي، فَإِذَا هُوَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The parents of Dajjal will remain for thirty years in such a state that they will have no children, then a child will be born to them who will be one-eyed, his harm will be greater and his benefit less. His eyes will sleep but his heart will not sleep. Then, describing the appearance of his parents, he said: His father will be a tall man, his flesh will shake, and his nose will be long, it will seem as if it is the beak of a parrot. His mother will be a woman with large breasts. After some time, we came to know that a child was born to the Jews in Medina. I and Zubair bin Al-Awwam went to see him. When we reached his parents, we found the description given by the Prophet (ﷺ) to be true. The child was lying wrapped in a sheet, making faint sounds. We asked his parents about him, and they told us: We spent thirty years in such a state that we had no child, then this one-eyed child was born to us, whose harm is greater and benefit less. When we left from there and passed by him, he said: What were you talking about? We said: Did you hear what we were saying? He said: Yes, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep. He was Ibn Sayyad.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) rode a camel to deliver a sermon on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage. A man held its rein, then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Tell me, what day is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he might give it another name. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr)?" We replied, "Why not." Then he said, "What month is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he might give it another name. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the month of Dhu al-Hijjah?" We replied, "Why not." Then he said, "What city is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent as before, then said, "Is it not the Sacred City (Makkah)?" We replied, "Why not." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your lives, your wealth, and your honor are as sacred to each other as the sanctity of this day, in this month, in this city. And soon you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me, striking the necks of one another. Have I conveyed the message of Allah?" Let those present convey this message to those who are absent, for sometimes the one to whom the message is conveyed may preserve it better than the one who heard it." The narrator says that it happened just like that.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، (١) أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ زِيَادٍ الْأَعْلَمِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَفْتَحَ الصَّلَاةَ فَكَبَّرَ، ثُمَّ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ مَكَانَكُمْ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ (٢) فَخَرَجَ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ، فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ: " إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ (٣) وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ جُنُبًا " (٤)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) began the prayer and said the takbeer, then signaled to the companions to remain in their places. Then he went home, and when he came out, drops of water were dripping from his head. Then he led the prayer, and after the prayer he said: "I am also a human being; ghusl (ritual bath) had become obligatory upon me."

حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: I will wait for you at the Pond of Kawthar.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُمْ ذَكَرُوا رَجُلًا عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَيْحَكَ، قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ " مِرَارًا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا أَخَاهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ: أَحْسَبُ فُلَانًا، إِنْ كَانَ يَرَى أَنَّهُ كَذَاكَ، وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا، وَحَسِيبُهُ اللهُ، أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), people were mentioning a man.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) was riding his mule and Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was also present, when people brought a pregnant woman. She said that she had committed adultery, so she should be stoned. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "Take benefit from Allah's concealment." She went back. After a short while, she came again while the Prophet (ﷺ) was still on the mule. She again said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), have me stoned." The Prophet (ﷺ) gave the same reply. When she came for the third time, she held the reins of the Prophet's mule and said, "I adjure you by Allah, have me stoned." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Alright, go until you give birth to the child." She went away, gave birth to the child, and came again to the Prophet (ﷺ) and spoke to him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go until you become pure from postnatal bleeding." She went away and after some time came again and said that she had become pure. The Prophet (ﷺ) called some women and ordered them to confirm her purity. They came and testified before the Prophet (ﷺ) that she had become pure. So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered a pit to be dug up to her chest. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came with the Muslims, picked up a pebble the size of a chickpea, threw it at her, and went back. He told the Muslims, "Now you stone her, but avoid hitting the face." When she became cold (i.e., died), he ordered her to be taken out, offered her funeral prayer, and said, "If her reward were distributed among all the people of Hijaz, it would suffice for them all."

Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakrah says that once I was present with my father in the service of Amir Muawiyah. When we reached him, he said, "O Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), tell me a hadith that you have heard yourself." He said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to like good dreams very much, and the Prophet (ﷺ) used to ask about them. So, as usual, one day he asked, 'Has anyone among you seen a dream?' A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have seen one. I saw that a scale was lowered from the sky, in which your weight was measured against Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and your side was heavier. Then Abu Bakr was weighed against Umar, and Abu Bakr's side was heavier. Then Umar was weighed against Uthman, and Umar's side was heavier. Then the scale was lifted up.' The Prophet (ﷺ) felt burdened by this dream and said, 'This is an indication towards the Caliphate of Prophethood. After this, Allah will give authority to whom He wills.'"

Muslim bin Abi Bakrah says that once he passed by his father who was making this supplication: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from poverty, disbelief, and punishment." I memorized this supplication and began to ask for it after every prayer. One day my father passed by me while I was making this supplication. He asked me, "Son, where did you learn these words?" I said, "O my father, I heard you making this supplication after every prayer, so I memorized it." He said, "Son, hold fast to these words, for the Prophet (ﷺ) also used to make this supplication after every prayer."

Upon this, some people began to say, "The way you treat this child, we have not seen you treat anyone else like this." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "This son of mine is a leader, and Allah will bring reconciliation between two groups of Muslims through him." Hasan says, "By Allah, after he became caliph, not even as much blood as comes from a single prick was shed."

Seeing this, Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade us from this—that a man stands up from his place and another sits in his place—and also from wiping one's hands with a cloth that does not belong to him.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَشْرَجُ ابْنُ نُبَاتَةَ الْقَيْسِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُمْهَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ، يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْبَصْرَةِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَتَنْزِلَنَّ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا الْبُصَيْرَةُ، (١) يَكْثُرُ بِهَا عَدَدُهُمْ، وَيَكْثُرُ بِهَا نَخْلُهُمْ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ بَنُو قَنْطُورَاءَ عِرَاضُ الْوُجُوهِ، صِغَارُ الْعُيُونِ، حَتَّى يَنْزِلُونَ (٢) عَلَى جِسْرٍ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ دِجْلَةُ، فَيَتَفَرَّقُ (٣) الْمُسْلِمُونَ ثَلَاثَ فِرَقٍ، فَأَمَّا فِرْقَةٌ فَيَأْخُذُونَ بِأَذْنَابِ الْإِبِلِ، وَتَلْحَقُ بِالْبَادِيَةِ وَهَلَكَتْ، وَأَمَّا فِرْقَةٌ فَتَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهَا، فَكَفَرَتْ فَهَذِهِ وَتِلْكَ سَوَاءٌ، وَأَمَّا فِرْقَةٌ، ، فَيَجْعَلُونَ عِيَالَهُمْ خَلْفَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَيُقَاتِلُونَ، فَقَتْلَاهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ، وَيَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى بَقِيَّتِهَا "، (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) once said: "A group from my Ummah will settle in a region called Basrah. On one side of it flows the river Dijlah (Tigris), and it is a land with many gardens. There, the Banu Qantura (Turks) will come and settle. Then the people will be divided into three groups: one group will join their origin and they will be destroyed; one group will transgress against themselves and disbelieve; and one group will fight, leaving their children behind. Their slain will be martyrs, and through the remaining people of this group, victory will be granted to the Muslims." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَشْرَجٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَوْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَي أَبِي، فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ، يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْبَصْرَةِ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ (٢)،

Suraij narrated to us, Hashraj narrated to us, from Sa'id, from Abdullah or Ubaidullah ibn Abi Bakrah, he said: My father narrated to me in this mosque, meaning the mosque of Basrah, and he mentioned the like of it.

حَدَّثَنَا هَوْذَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ ذَاكَ الْيَوْمُ رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَتَهُ، ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَقَالَ: " تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟ " فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ (٣) ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ: " أَلَا لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ، مَرَّتَيْنِ،، ، فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ هُوَ أَوْعَى مِنْ مُبَلِّغٍ (١) مِثْلَهُ "، ثُمَّ مَالَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ إِلَى غُنَيْمَاتٍ فَجَعَلَ يَقْسِمُهُنَّ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ، الشَّاةُ، وَالثَّلَاثَةِ الشَّاةُ (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) during the Farewell Pilgrimage was mounted on his camel and while delivering the sermon, said: "Do you know what day it is today?" Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith, and at the end said: "Those of you who are present should convey this message to those who are absent, because sometimes the one to whom the message is conveyed preserves it better than the one who hears it." Then, while still mounted on his camel, the Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded towards the goats and began distributing them among the people, giving one goat to two men or one goat to three men.

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ (٣) بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حَمَّادَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَحُمَيْدٍ، فِي آخَرِينَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ سَيُؤَيِّدُ هَذَا الدِّينَ بِأَقْوَامٍ لَا خَلَاقَ لَهُمْ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was present in the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) when a man came and gave the Prophet (ﷺ) the good news of his army's victory over the enemy. At that time, the blessed head of the Prophet (ﷺ) was in the lap of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Upon hearing this good news, the Prophet (ﷺ) fell into prostration, and then began to ask the bearer of good news various questions. Among the things he told was that the enemy had appointed a woman as their ruler. Upon hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) said three times: "Now men have fallen into destruction when they began to follow women."

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he performed rukoo‘ before joining the row, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: May Allah increase you in eagerness for the religion, but do not do this again.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) began the Fajr prayer and said the Takbeer, then signaled to the companions to remain in their places. Then he went home, and when he came out, drops of water were dripping from his head, then he led the prayer.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not become disbelievers after me, striking the necks of one another.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، وَيَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زُرَيْعٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: مَدَحَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَيْلَكَ، قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَ صَاحِبِكَ مِرَارًا، إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا صَاحِبَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ، فَلْيَقُلْ: أَحْسَبُ فُلَانًا وَاللهُ حَسِيبُهُ، وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا، إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ، أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), a man praised another. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Alas, you have broken your companion's neck." And he said, "If any of you must praise his brother, then he should say: 'I think that so-and-so appears to be such-and-such, and I do not declare anyone pure before Allah, and Allah is his true guardian, and I consider him as such.'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ، قَالَ (١) : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْخَذْفِ "، فَأَخَذَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: عَنْ هَذَا؟ وَخَذَفَ، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا أُرَانِي أُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْهُ وَأَنْتَ تَخْذِفُ، وَاللهِ لَا أُكَلِّمُكَ عَرَبِيَّةً (٢) مَا عِشْتُ "، أَوْ " مَا بَقِيتُ "، أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا (٣)، ،

Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) once said that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade throwing pebbles at anyone. One of his cousins said, "He has forbidden this," and then threw a pebble at someone. He (Abu Bakrah) said, "I am narrating to you the hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ) that he forbade this, yet you are still doing the same. By Allah, as long as I live, I will never speak to you."

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، أَنَّ عِيَاضَ بْنَ مُسَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، أَخِي زِيَادٍ لِأُمِّهِ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكَرَةَ: أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ فِي شَأْنِ مُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي النَّاسِ، فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فِي شَأْنِ (١) هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي قَدْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ فِي شَأْنِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ كَذَّابًا يَخْرُجُونَ قَبْلَ الدَّجَّالِ، وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَلَدٌ إِلَّا يَدْخُلُهُ رُعْبُ الْمَسِيحِ، إِلَّا الْمَدِينَةَ، عَلَى كُلِّ نَقْبٍ مِنْ نِقَابِهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ مَلَكَانِ يَذُبَّانِ عَنْهَا رُعْبَ الْمَسِيحِ "، (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that regarding Musaylimah the Liar, before the Prophet (ﷺ) said anything, people used to talk a lot. One day, the Prophet (ﷺ) stood up to deliver a sermon and, after saying "Amma ba'd," said: "You have been talking a lot about this person. He is one of those thirty liars who will appear before the Day of Judgment. There will be no city where the terror of the Dajjal will not reach, except Madinah. At its two entrances, two angels will be appointed who will keep the terror of the Dajjal away from Madinah Munawwarah."

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، أَنَّ عِيَاضَ بْنَ مُسَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ، أَخَا زِيَادٍ لِأُمِّهِ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكَرَةَ: أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ فِي شَأْنِ مُسَيْلِمَةَ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ (١)،

Ya‘qub narrated to us, the nephew of Ibn Shihab narrated to us, from his uncle, Talhah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Awf informed me, that ‘Iyad ibn Musafi‘ narrated to him, that Abu Bakrah, the maternal brother of Ziyad, said: Abu Bakrah said: The people spoke much concerning the matter of Musaylimah, and he mentioned the like of it.

حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: لَمَّا ادَّعَى زِيَادٌ لَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا الَّذِي صَنَعْتُمْ؟ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يَقُولُ: سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ ادَّعَى أَبًا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ غَيْرَ أَبِيهِ فَالْجَنَّةُ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ "، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكَرَةَ: وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٢)، ،

Abu Uthman says that when the issue of Ziyad’s lineage became very prominent, one day I met Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked those people, “What have you people done?” I heard Sa’d saying that my own ears heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: “Whoever, in the state of Islam, attributes himself to someone other than his father, while he knows that he is not his father, Paradise is forbidden for him.” Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “I also heard him say this.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى ابْنٍ لَهُ، وَكَانَ قَاضِيًا بِسِجِسْتَانَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَلَا تَحْكُمَنَّ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ غَضْبَانُ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَا يَحْكُمْ أَحَدٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: No ruler should decide between two people while he is angry.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَدَحَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قَطَعْتَ ظَهْرَهُ، إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحًا صَاحِبَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ (٢) ، فَلْيَقُلْ أَحْسَبُهُ وَاللهُ حَسِيبُهُ، وَلَا أَعْذِرُ عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا، أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), a man praised another man. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Alas! You have broken your companion’s neck." And he said, "If you must praise your brother, then you should say: 'So-and-so appears to be such-and-such, and I do not declare anyone pure before Allah, and Allah is his true guardian; I consider him to be so.'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَغَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ رِيحَ الْجَنَّةِ لَتُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ، وَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقْتُلُ نَفْسًا مُعَاهَدَةً إِلَّا حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَرَائِحَتَهَا أَنْ يَجِدَهَا "، قَالَ أَبُو بَكَرَةَ: " أَصَمَّ اللهُ أُذُنِي إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُهَا " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The fragrance of Paradise is perceived from a distance of one hundred years. Whoever kills a person with whom there is a treaty, Allah makes the fragrance of Paradise forbidden for him. If I did not hear this from the Prophet (ﷺ), may both my ears become deaf."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ، دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَالْإِمَامُ رَاكِعٌ فَرَكَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصِلَ إِلَى الصَّفِّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " زَادَكَ اللهُ حِرْصًا وَلَا تَعُدْ "، (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he entered the mosque while the Prophet (ﷺ) was in bowing (ruku‘). Before joining the row, he performed ruku‘. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "May Allah increase you in eagerness for the religion, but do not do this again."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، (١) سَمِعْتُ هِشَامًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ مِثْلَهُ (٢)،

Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us: I heard Hisham narrating from al-Hasan from Abu Bakrah something similar.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا تَوَاجَهَ الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا، فَقَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ، فَالْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا الْقَاتِلُ، فَمَا بَالُ الْمَقْتُولِ؟ قَالَ: " إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُرِيدُ قَتْلَ صَاحِبِهِ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Musa that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When two Muslims come face to face with swords and one of them kills the other, then both the killer and the killed will go to Hell. Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah, the matter of the killer is understandable, but what about the killed one?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: He also intended to kill his companion.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ، الْحَسَنَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَدِّثُنَا يَوْمًا وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فِي حِجْرِهِ، فَيُقْبِلُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَيُحَدِّثُهُمْ، ثُمَّ يُقْبِلُ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ فَيُقَبِّلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا لَسَيِّدٌ، إِنْ يَعِشْ يُصْلِحْ بَيْنَ طَائِفَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) on the pulpit and Imam Hasan was with him. Sometimes he would turn towards the people and sometimes he would look at Imam Hasan and say, "This son of mine is a leader, and Allah Almighty will bring reconciliation between two groups of Muslims through him."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ أَسْنَدُوا أَمْرَهُمْ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: That nation will never succeed which entrusts its affairs to a woman.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The terror of Dajjal will not be able to enter Madinah Munawwarah. At that time, Madinah Munawwarah will have seven gates, and at each gate there will be two angels appointed.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ (٢) ، قَالَ: أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ فِي شَأْنِ مُسَيْلِمَةَ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ عُقَيْلٍ (٣)،

20464 'Abd al-A'la narrated to us, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from Talhah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Awf, from Abu Bakrah, who said: "The people spoke much concerning the matter of Musaylimah," and he mentioned something similar to the hadith of 'Uqayl.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ أَسْنَدُوا، ، أَمْرَهُمْ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: That nation will never succeed which entrusts its affairs to a woman.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يُفْلِحُ قَوْمٌ تَمْلِكُهُمْ امْرَأَةٌ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The two months of Eid, that is, Ramadan and Dhul-Hijjah, are not less (in reward).

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟، أَوْ قَالَ (١) : خَيْرٌ شَكَّ يَزِيدُ، قَالَ: " مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ "، قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah that a man presented himself in the court of the Messenger and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which person is the best?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are the best." The questioner asked, "And who is the worst person?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are the worst."

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ "، قِيلَ: فَأَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ "، (٣)، ،

The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are the best." The questioner asked, "And who is the worst person?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are the worst."

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلِهِ (١)،

Rawh narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from Ali ibn Zayd, from Abdur-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, from his father, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, something similar to it.

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: حَدَّثَنَا (٢) عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: " أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِشَاءَ تِسْعَ لَيَالٍ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: ثَمَانِ لَيَالٍ، إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ "، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَوْ أَنَّكَ عَجَّلْتَ لَكَانَ أَمْثَلَ لِقِيَامِنَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، قَالَ: " فَعَجَّلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ "، وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، فَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: تِسْعَ لَيَالٍ (٣) ، وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: سَبْعَ (٤) لَيَالٍ (٥)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) delayed the Isha prayer until one third of the night for nine nights. Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah, if you would lead this prayer earlier, it would make standing in the night (qiyam al-layl) easier for us." Thereafter, the Prophet (ﷺ) began to lead it earlier.

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَدَحَ صَاحِبًا لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " وَيْلَكَ قَطَعْتَ عُنُقَهُ، إِنْ كُنْتَ مَادِحًا لَا مَحَالَةَ، فَقُلْ: أَحْسَبُهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَاللهُ حَسِيبُهُ، وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللهِ أَحَدًا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), a man praised another. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Alas! You have broken your companion's neck." And he said, "If any of you must praise his brother, then he should say: 'I think that so-and-so appears to be such-and-such, and I do not declare anyone pure before Allah, and his true guardian is Allah; I think of him as such.'"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ خَالِدًا الْحَذَّاءَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " شَهْرَانِ لَا يَنْقُصَانِ فِي كُلِّ، ، وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا عِيدٌ: رَمَضَانُ، وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The two months of Eid, Ramadan and Dhul-Hijjah, are not less (in reward).

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، وَحَجَّاجٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ رَبّ (٢) بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ عَبْدَ رَبِّهِ: يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ، مَوْلَى أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو بَكَرَةَ فِي شَهَادَةٍ، فَقَامَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكَرَةَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يُقِمِ الرَّجُلَ الرَّجُلَ (٣) مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ، ثُمَّ يَقْعُدُ فِيهِ " أَوْ قَالَ: " إِذَا أَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ (٤) مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ فَلَا يَجْلِسْ فِيهِ، وَلَا يَمْسَحِ الرَّجُلُ يَدَهُ بِثَوْبِ مَنْ لَا، ، يَمْلِكُ " (١)،

Once, Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was called to give testimony in a certain matter. When he arrived, a man stood up from his place. Seeing this, Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade that a man should stand up from his place and another should sit in his place, and also forbade that a person should wipe his hands with a cloth that does not belong to him.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " أَسْلَمُ، وَغِفَارُ، وَمُزَيْنَةُ، وَجُهَيْنَةُ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ، وَبَنِي عَامِرٍ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: In the sight of Allah, the people of the tribes of Juhainah, Aslam, Ghifar, and Muzainah are better than the people of Banu Tamim and Banu Amir bin Sa’sa’ah.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنِّي قُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ "، قَالَ: " فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَخَشِيَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ أَنْ تُزَكِّيَ أَنْفُسَهَا "، قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ: " فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَخَشِيَ التَّزْكِيَةَ (٣) عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ؟ أَوْ قَالَ: لَا، ، بُدَّ مِنْ نَوْمٍ أَوْ غَفْلَةٍ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: None of you should say, "I stood (in prayer) for the entire Ramadan." Now Allah knows best whether the Prophet (ﷺ) feared that his Ummah might declare their own purity, or he said this because there is no escape from sleep and heedlessness.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ، وَعَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ، ، قُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ "، قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: " فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ، أَخَشِيَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ التَّزْكِيَةَ "، قَالَ عَفَّانُ: أَوْ قَالَ: " لَا بُدَّ مِنْ رَاقِدٍ أَوْ غَافِلٍ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: None of you should say, "I stood (in prayer) for the entire Ramadan," (because there is no way to avoid heedlessness or sleep; it is possible that on some day he may have slept through it).

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ الشَّحَّامُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ فِتَنٌ، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ فِتْنَةٌ، (٢) أَلَا فَالْمَاشِي فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السَّاعِي إِلَيْهَا، أَلَا وَالْقَاعِدُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَائِمِ فِيهَا، أَلَا وَالْمُضْطَجِعُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقَاعِدِ، أَلَا إِذَا نَزَلَتْ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِغَنَمِهِ، أَلَا وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَرْضٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِأَرْضِهِ، أَلَا وَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِبِلٌ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِإِبِلِهِ "، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، جَعَلَنِي اللهُ فِدَاءَكَ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ غَنَمٌ، وَلَا أَرْضٌ، وَلَا إِبِلٌ، كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ: " لِيَأْخُذْ سَيْفَهُ، ثُمَّ لِيَعْمِدْ بِهِ إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ، ثُمَّ لِيَدُقَّ عَلَى حَدِّهِ بِحَجَرٍ، ثُمَّ لِيَنْجُ إِنْ اسْتَطَاعَ النَّجَاءَ، اللهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ اللهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ " إِذْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، جَعَلَنِي اللهُ فِدَاءَكَ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أُخِذَ بِيَدِي مُكْرَهًا حَتَّى يُنْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى أَحَدِ الصَّفَّيْنِ، أَوْ، ، إِحْدَى الْفِئَتَيْنِ عُثْمَانُ يَشُكُّ، (١) فَيَحْذِفُنِي رَجُلٌ بِسَيْفِهِ فَيَقْتُلَنِي، (٢) مَاذَا يَكُونُ مِنْ شَأْنِي؟ قَالَ: " يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِكَ وَإِثْمِهِ، وَيَكُونُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ " (٣)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Soon there will be tribulations in which the one lying down will be better than the one sitting, and the one sitting will be better than the one standing, and the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one walking will be better than the one running. A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you command me to do then?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever has camels should go to his camels, and whoever has goats should go to his goats, and whoever has land should go to his land, and whoever has nothing should take his sword and strike its edge on a rock. And if he can save himself, let him save himself. O Allah, have I conveyed (the message)? He said this twice. A man asked, "O Prophet of Allah, may I be sacrificed for you, tell me, if someone forcibly grabs my hand and takes me into a row or group, and there a man attacks me with a sword and kills me, what will become of me?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: That person will return with your sin and will be among the people of Hell.

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ "، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: " مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ، وَسَاءَ عَمَلُهُ "، (٤)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man presented himself in the court of the Messenger and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which person is the best?"

The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are bad."

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) rode a camel to deliver a sermon on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage. A man held its rein, then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Tell me, what day is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he might give it another name. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm al-Nahr)?" We replied, "Why not." Then he said, "What month is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent for so long that we thought he might give it another name. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is it not the month of Dhu al-Hijjah?" We replied, "Why not." Then he said, "What city is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent as before, then said, "Is it not the Sacred City (Haram)?" We replied, "Why not." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your lives, your wealth, and your honor are as sacred to each other as the sanctity of this day, in this month, in this city. Soon you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me, striking the necks of one another. Have I conveyed the message of Allah?" Let those present convey this message to those who are absent, for sometimes the one to whom the message is conveyed may preserve it better than the one who heard it." The narrator says that it happened exactly so.

حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ يَخْطُبُ، إِذْ جَاءَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ الْمِنْبَرَ، فَضَمَّهُ النَّبِيُّ (١) صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، وَقَالَ: " ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ، وَلَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ يُصْلِحَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ بَيْنَ فِئَتَيْنِ عَظِيمَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ " (٢)،

Rawh narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from Ali ibn Zayd, from Abdur-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, from his father, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, something similar to it.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " يَمْكُثُ أَبَوَا الدَّجَّالِ ثَلَاثِينَ عَامًا لَا يُولَدُ لَهُمَا وَلَدٌ، ثُمَّ يُولَدُ لَهُمَا غُلَامٌ أَضَرُّ شَيْءٍ، وَأَقَلُّهُ نَفْعًا، تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ، وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ "، ثُمَّ نَعَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَاهُ، فَقَالَ: " أَبُوهُ رَجُلٌ طُوَالٌ، ضَرْبُ اللَّحْمِ، كَأَنَّ أَنْفَهُ مِنْقَارٌ، وَأُمُّهُ امْرَأَةٌ فِرْضَاخِيَّةٌ، طَوِيلَةُ الثَّدْيَيْنِ "، قَالَ أَبُو بَكَرَةَ: فَسَمِعْنَا بِمَوْلُودٍ وُلِدَ فِي الْيَهُودِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِ، فَإِذَا نَعْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِمَا، فَقُلْنَا: هَلْ لَكُمَا وَلَدٌ؟ فَقَالَا: مَكَثْنَا ثَلَاثِينَ عَامًا لَا يُولَدُ لَنَا وَلَدٌ، ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَنَا غُلَامٌ أَعْوَرُ، أَضَرُّ شَيْءٍ، وَأَقَلُّهُ نَفْعًا، تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ، وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ، فَخَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِمَا، فَإِذَا الْغُلَامُ مُنْجَدَلٌ فِي قَطِيفَةٍ فِي الشَّمْسِ لَهُ هَمْهَمَةٌ، قَالَ: فَكَشَفْتُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا قُلْتُمَا؟ قُلْنَا: وَهَلْ سَمِعْتَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، إِنَّهُ تَنَامُ عَيْنَايَ، وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي، قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: " وَهُوَ ابْنُ صَيَّادٍ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The parents of the Dajjal will remain for thirty years in such a state that they will have no children, then a child will be born to them who will be one-eyed, whose harm will be greater and benefit less. His eyes will sleep but his heart will not sleep. Then, describing the appearance of his parents, he said: His father will be a tall man, his flesh will tremble, and his nose will be long, as if it were the beak of a parrot. His mother will be a woman with large breasts. After some time, we learned that a child had been born among the Jews in Medina. I and Zubair bin Al-Awwam went to see him. When we reached his parents, we found the description given by the Prophet (ﷺ) to be true. The child was lying wrapped in a sheet, making faint sounds. We asked his parents about him, and they said: We spent thirty years in such a state that we had no child, then this one-eyed child was born to us, whose harm is greater and benefit less. When we left from there and passed by him, he said: What were you talking about? We said: Did you hear what we were saying? He said: Yes, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep. He was Ibn Sayyad.

Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakrah says that once I was present with my father in the service of Amir Muawiyah. When we reached him, he said, "O Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), tell me a hadith that you have heard yourself." He said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to like good dreams very much and would keep asking about them. So, as usual, one day he asked, 'Has anyone among you seen a dream?' A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have seen one. I saw that a scale was hung down from the sky, in which you were weighed against Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and your side was heavier. Then Abu Bakr was weighed against Umar, and Abu Bakr's side was heavier. Then Umar was weighed against Uthman, and Umar's side was heavier. Then the scale was lifted up.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) felt burdened by this dream and said, 'This is an indication towards the Caliphate of Prophethood, after which Allah will give kingship to whomever He wills.' At this, we were grabbed by the neck and thrown out. Ziyad said, 'May your father perish! Did you not find any other hadith to narrate before him?' He replied, 'No, by Allah, I will not narrate any hadith from him except this one until I part from him.' At this, he left us. This happened three times. Then Muawiyah said, 'You call it government; we are content with it.'"

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man presented himself in the court of the Messenger and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which person is the best?"

The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "The one whose life is long and whose deeds are bad."

وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: وَفَدْنَا إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ نُعَزِّيهِ مَعَ زِيَادٍ، وَمَعَنَا أَبُو بَكَرَةَ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا لَمْ يُعْجَبْ بِوَفْدٍ مَا أُعْجِبَ بِنَا، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرَةَ حَدِّثْنَا بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْجِبُهُ الرُّؤْيَا الْحَسَنَةُ، وَيَسْأَلُ عَنْهَا، وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ: " أَيُّكُمْ رَأَى رُؤْيَا؟ " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: أَنَا رَأَيْتُ مِيزَانًا دُلِّيَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَوُزِنْتَ فِيهِ أَنْتَ وَأَبُو، ، بَكْرٍ، فَرَجَحْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ وُزِنَ فِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، فَرَجَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِعُمَرَ، ثُمَّ وُزِنَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ، فَرَجَحَ عُمَرُ بِعُثْمَانَ، ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الْمِيزَانُ، فَاسْتَآلها (١) النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَيْ أَوَّلَهَا، فَقَالَ: " خِلَافَةُ نُبُوَّةٍ، ثُمَّ يُؤْتِي اللهُ الْمُلْكَ مَنْ يَشَاءُ "، قَالَ: فَزُخَّ فِي أَقْفَائِنَا فَأُخْرِجْنَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ عُدْنَا، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرَةَ: حَدِّثْنَا بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَبَكَعَهُ بِهِ، فَزُخَّ فِي أَقْفَائِنَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ عُدْنَا، فَسَأَلَهُ أَيْضًا، قَالَ: فَبَكَعَهُ بِهِ، فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ: تَقُولُ: إِنَّا مُلُوكٌ؟ قَدْ رَضِينَا بِالْمُلْكِ (٢)، °

Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakrah says that once I was present with my father in the service of Amir Muawiyah. When we reached him, he said, "O Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), tell me a hadith that you have heard yourself." He said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to like good dreams very much and would keep asking about them. So, as usual, one day he asked, 'Has anyone among you seen a dream?' A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have seen one. I saw that a scale was hung down from the sky, in which you were weighed against Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and your side was heavier. Then Abu Bakr was weighed against Umar, and Abu Bakr's side was heavier. Then Umar was weighed against Uthman, and Umar's side was heavier. Then the scale was lifted up.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) felt burdened by this dream and said, 'This points to the Caliphate of Prophethood, after which Allah will give kingship to whomever He wills.' At this, we were grabbed by the neck and thrown out. Ziyad said, 'May your father perish! Did you not find any other hadith to narrate before him?' He replied, 'No, by Allah, I will not narrate any hadith from him except this one until I part from him.' At this, he left us. This happened three times. Then Muawiyah said, 'You call it government; we are content with it.'"

وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكَرَةَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا مُعَاهَدَةً بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهَا، لَمْ يَجِدْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَيُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ خَمْسِ مِائَةِ عَامٍ " (٣)، °

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The fragrance of Paradise can be perceived from a distance of five hundred years.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he performed rukoo‘ before joining the row, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: May Allah increase you in eagerness for the religion, but do not do this again.

The people said: Yes! The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Those people are better than them. Then he said: Tell me, if Juhainah and Muzainah are better than Banu Tamim and Banu Amir (who are both allies), will Banu Tamim and others be in loss? Saying this, the Prophet (ﷺ) raised his voice. The people said: Yes. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Then they are better than them.

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), a man praised another. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Alas! You have broken your companion's neck." And he said, "If any of you must praise his brother, then he should say: 'I think that so-and-so appears to be such-and-such, and I do not declare anyone pure before Allah, and his true guardian is Allah; I think of him as such.'"

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Jibreel and Mikaeel came to me. Jibreel said to me, "Recite the Noble Qur'an on one mode (harf)." Mikaeel said, "Request for an increase in it." Then Jibreel said, "You may recite the Noble Qur'an on seven modes (ahruf), any one of which is sufficient and satisfactory, provided that you do not change a verse of mercy into one of punishment, or a verse of punishment into one of mercy, such as 'ta'al' and 'aqbil', 'halumma' and 'idhhab', 'isra' and 'i'jil'."

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was leading the people in prayer. When he would go into prostration, Imam Hasan would jump and ride on the back of the Prophet (ﷺ). He did this several times. Upon this, some people began to say, "The way you treat this child, we have never seen you treat anyone else like that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This son of mine is a leader, and Allah Almighty will bring reconciliation between two groups of Muslims through him." Hasan says, "By Allah, after he became caliph, not even as much blood as comes from a single prick was shed."

It is narrated from Abu Musa that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When two Muslims come face to face with swords and one of them kills the other, then both the killer and the killed will go to Hell. Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah, the matter of the killer is understandable, but what about the killed one?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: He also intended to kill his companion.

حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، وَيُونُسُ، وَهِشَامٌ، وَالْمُعَلَّي بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا تَوَاجَهَ الْمُسْلِمَانِ بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا، فَقَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ، فَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ جَمِيعًا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Musa that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When two Muslims come face to face with swords drawn and one of them kills the other, then both the killer and the killed will go to Hell.

حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: وَصَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ صِفَةَ الدَّجَّالِ، وَصِفَةَ أَبَوَيْهِ، قَالَ: " يَمْكُثُ أَبَوَا الدَّجَّالِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً لَا يُولَدُ لَهُمَا، ثُمَّ يُولَدُ لَهُمَا ابْنٌ مَسْرُورٌ مَخْتُونٌ، أَقَلُّ شَيْءٍ نَفْعًا وَأَضَرُّهُ، تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ، وَلَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ "، فَذَكَرَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَنَا هَذَا أَعْوَرَ مَسْرُورًا مَخْتُونًا، أَقَلَّ شَيْءٍ نَفْعًا وَأَضَرَّهُ (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The parents of the Dajjal will remain for thirty years in such a state that they will have no children. Then a child will be born to them who will be one-eyed, his harm will be greater and his benefit less. His eyes will sleep but his heart will not sleep... Then the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنِّي قُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّهُ "،، ، قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَخَشِيَ التَّزْكِيَةَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ (١) أَوْ يَقُولُ: " لَا بُدَّ مِنْ رَاقِدٍ أَوْ غَافِلٍ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: None of you should say, "I stood (in prayer) for the entire Ramadan," (because there is no way to avoid negligence or falling asleep; it is possible that one may sleep through a day).

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ أَبُو بَكَرَةَ إِلَى ابْنِهِ وَهُوَ عَامِلٌ بِسِجِسْتَانَ: أَنْ لَا تَقْضِيَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ غَضْبَانُ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَا يَقْضِ حَكَمٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ، أَوْ خَصْمَيْنِ، وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ " (٣)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: No ruler should decide between two men while he is angry.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ ثُرْمُلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا مُعَاهَدَةً بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهَا، فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ أَنْ يَشُمَّ، ، رِيحَهَا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever kills a Mu'ahid (a non-Muslim with a peace treaty) unjustly, Allah makes the fragrance of Paradise forbidden for him.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَذَكَرَ قِصَّةً فِيهَا، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ خُيِّرَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بَيْنَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا وَبَيْنَ آنِيَةٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، قَالَ: فَاخْتَارَ الْآنِيَةَ، قَالَ: فَقَدِمَ تُجَّارٌ مِنْ دَارِينَ، فَبَاعَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا الْعَشَرَةَ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ، ثُمَّ لَقِيَ أَبَا بَكْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ خَدَعْتُهُمْ؟ قَالَ: كَيْفَ؟ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ، أَوْ أَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ، لَتَرُدَّنَّهَا، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا " (٢)، ،

The narrator named Muhammad, while relating an incident, said: When he came, Abdullah was given the choice to either take thirty thousand rupees or take silver vessels. He preferred to take the vessels. Then some traders from "Darin" came, and he sold ten parts of it for thirteen thousand each. Then he met Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), and said: See how I deceived him. He (Abu Bakrah) asked about the incident, so he narrated the whole story. Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: I swear by Allah, return it, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbidding such things.
