حَدِيثُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيِّ رضي الله عنه (١)، ، ٢١٢٨٩ - حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْأَعْمَشَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ حِمَازٍ (١) ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَزَلْنَا ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ، فَتَعَجَّلَتْ رِجَالٌ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، وَبَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِتْنَا مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ سَأَلَ عَنْهُمْ، فَقِيلَ: تَعَجَّلُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَقَالَ: "تَعَجَّلُوا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالنِّسَاءِ أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ سَيَدَعُونَهَا أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَتْ " ثُمَّ قَالَ: "لَيْتَ شِعْرِي مَتَى تَخْرُجُ نَارٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ مِنْ جَبَلِ الْوِرَاقِ، تُضِيءُ مِنْهَا أَعْنَاقُ الْإِبِلِ بُرُوكًا بِبُصْرَى كَضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ " (٢)، ،
It is narrated from Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were returning from a journey with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). We camped at Dhul-Hulaifah. Some people hurried and went to Madinah Munawwarah, but the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) spent that night there, and we were with him. When morning came, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) inquired about those people. It was informed that they had hurried to Madinah. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "They have hurried to Madinah Munawwarah and to their women, but a time will surely come when they will leave Madinah Munawwarah despite it being in its best condition." Then he said: "Soon, a fire will emerge from the mountain of Waraq in Yemen, by which the necks of the young camels of Busra will become illuminated like the brightness of the day."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I used to serve the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). When I finished my work, I would come to the mosque and lie down. One day, while I was lying down, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came and nudged me with his blessed foot. I sat up straight. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Dharr! What will you do when you are expelled from Madinah?" I replied, "I will return to Masjid Nabawi and my house." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "And when you are expelled from there as well, what will you do?" I replied, "At that time, I will take my sword and whoever tries to expel me, I will strike him with my sword." Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) placed his blessed hand on my shoulder and said three times, "Abu Dharr! Be forgiving, go wherever they take you, even if your ruler is an Abyssinian slave." Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when I was exiled to Rabadhah and the prayer was established, a black man who was in charge of the zakat animals stepped forward to lead the prayer. When he saw me, he stepped back and wanted to bring me forward, but I said to him, "You remain in your place; I will act upon the command of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ)."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Two men are better than one, three are better than two, and four are better than three. Therefore, it is obligatory upon you to adhere to the congregation, for Allah Almighty will never cause my Ummah to agree upon anything other than guidance.

Ghudaif said, "You are a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and you are more deserving that you pray for my forgiveness." He replied, "I heard Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) say that Ghudaif is an excellent young man, and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that Allah has made the truth flow on Umar's tongue and heart."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: I have been given five such characteristics which were not given to any prophet before me. Thus, I have been helped through awe, and the enemy becomes overawed by me from a distance of one month's journey. The entire earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me. The spoils of war have been made lawful for me, which were not made lawful for anyone before me. I have been sent to every red and black (i.e., to all mankind), and it was said to me: "Ask, you will be given." So I have reserved this right for the intercession of my Ummah, and this intercession will reach every one of you who meets Allah in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Him.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The sun sets under the Throne; it is granted permission, so it returns.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ كَافِرًا، فَهَدَانِي اللهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ، وَكُنْتُ أَعْزُبُ عَنِ الْمَاءِ، وَمَعِي أَهْلِي، فَتُصِيبُنِي الْجَنَابَةُ، فَوَقَعَ ذَلِكَ فِي نَفْسِي، وَقَدْ نُعِتَ لِي أَبُو ذَرٍّ، فَحَجَجْتُ فَدَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ مِنًى فَعَرَفْتُهُ بِالنَّعْتِ، فَإِذَا شَيْخٌ مَعْرُوقٌ (١) آدَمُ، عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ قِطْرِيٌّ، فَذَهَبْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى صَلَاةً أَتَمَّهَا وَأَحْسَنَهَا، وَأَطْوَلَهَا (٢) ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَدَّ عَلَيَّ، قُلْتُ: أَنْتَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَهْلِي لَيَزْعُمُونَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ كَافِرًا فَهَدَانِي اللهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَهَمَّنِي دِينِي، وَكُنْتُ أَعْزُبُ عَنِ الْمَاءِ وَمَعِي أَهْلِي، فَتُصِيبُنِي الْجَنَابَةُ، فَوَقَعَ ذَلِكَ فِي نَفْسِي. قَالَ: هَلْ تَعْرِفُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَإِنِّي اجْتَوَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ، قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا، فَأَمَرَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَوْدٍ مِنْ إِبِلٍ وَغَنَمٍ، فَكُنْتُ أَكُونُ فِيهَا، فَكُنْتُ أَعْزُبُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، وَمَعِي أَهْلِي فَتُصِيبُنِي الْجَنَابَةُ، فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنِّي قَدْ هَلَكْتُ، فَقَعَدْتُ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ مِنْهَا، فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى، ، رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ، وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ الْمَسْجِدِ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَنَزَلْتُ عَنِ الْبَعِيرِ، وَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَلَكْتُ. قَالَ: "وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ؟ " فَحَدَّثْتُهُ، فَضَحِكَ، فَدَعَا إِنْسَانًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، فَجَاءَتْ جَارِيَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ بِعُسٍّ فِيهِ مَاءٌ، مَا هُوَ بِمَلْآنَ، إِنَّهُ لَيَتَخَضْخَضُ، فَاسْتَتَرْتُ بِالْبَعِيرِ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَسَتَرَنِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَقَالَ: "إِنَّ الصَّعِيدَ الطَّيِّبَ طَهُورٌ مَا لَمْ تَجِدِ الْمَاءَ، وَلَوْ إِلَى عَشْرِ حِجَجٍ، فَإِذَا وَجَدْتَ الْمَاءَ، فَأَمِسَّ (١) بَشَرَتَكَ " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
A man from Banu Amir (he is Abu al-Muhallab Khurmi) says: I was a disbeliever, but Allah guided me towards Islam. There was no water in our area. My wife was with me, due to which sometimes I would become junub (in a state of major ritual impurity). The importance of finding out about this issue settled in my heart. Someone told me about Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). I set out for Hajj and when I entered the mosque at Mina, I recognized Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). He was elderly, sweating, and wearing a woolen garment. I went and stood beside him; he was praying. I greeted him with salam, but he did not reply. After completing his prayer thoroughly, he replied to my salam. I asked him, "Are you Abu Dharr?" He said, "My family thinks so." Then I told him my story. He said, "Do you recognize Abu Dharr?" I said, "Yes!" He said, "The climate of Madinah did not suit me," or he said, "I developed a stomach illness. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) instructed me to drink the milk of some camels and goats." Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I used to live far from water (sources). My family was with me. When I needed to perform ghusl, I would pray without attaining purity. Once, when I presented myself before the Prophet (ﷺ), it was midday and he was sitting in the shade of the mosque with some of the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them). I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! I am ruined.' The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, 'What happened?' I said, 'O Prophet! I was far from water (sources), my wife was with me, and when I needed to perform ghusl, I would pray without performing ghusl.' The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered water to be brought for me. A black slave girl brought water for me in a large bowl. The water in the bowl was moving because the bowl was not full. I performed ghusl behind a camel and then presented myself before the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Pure earth is also a purifier as long as water is not available, even if you do not find water for ten years. However, when water is found, then pour it over your body.'"

Abu Al-Aliyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Ubaidullah bin Ziyad delayed a prayer from its appointed time. I asked Abdullah bin Samit (may Allah have mercy on him) about this, so he struck my thigh with his hand and said: I asked this same question to my friend Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he struck my thigh with his hand and said: I asked this same question to my beloved (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Perform the prayer at its appointed time. If you have to join these people (in prayer), then pray with them again (with the intention of nafl). Do not say, "I have already prayed, so I will not pray now."

I saw him standing for a long time and performing many bowings and prostrations. I mentioned this to him, and he said, "I do not fall short in doing the best I can from my side.

If you people consider it appropriate, then speak to him. They called Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). When he arrived, the mentioned individuals spoke with him. He said: O Abu al-Waleed! You accepted Islam before me, you are greater than me in age and virtue, I encourage you to avoid such gatherings. And O Abu Darda! You accepted Islam when the time of the Noble Prophet’s (ﷺ) passing was near, you are a good Muslim. And O Amr bin Aas! I have performed jihad with you alongside the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). And O Umm Haram! You are a woman, and your intellect is also that of a woman, do not get involved in this matter. Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him), seeing this situation, said: It is settled that from today onwards, I will not sit in such gatherings.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Successful is the person who has purified his heart for faith and has been granted a sound heart, a truthful tongue, a contented soul, and good character. His ears have been given the ability to hear and his eyes the ability to see. The example of the ears is like that of a vessel’s base, while the eyes provide a place for the things preserved in the heart. And successful is the person whose heart is a preserver.

Abdullah bin Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I said to Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "I wish I had seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so I could have asked him just one question." He (Abu Dharr) said, "What question would you have asked him?" He (Abdullah) said, "I would have asked whether you have seen your Lord."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي: بُعِثْتُ إِلَى الْأَحْمَرِ وَالْأَسْوَدِ، وَجُعِلَتْ لِي الْأَرْضُ طَهُورًا وَمَسْجِدًا، وَأُحِلَّتْ لِي الْغَنَائِمُ وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي، وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ، فَيُرْعَبُ الْعَدُوُّ وَهُوَ مِنِّي مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ، وَقِيلَ لِي: سَلْ تُعْطَهْ، وَاخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي، فَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ، ، مِنْكُمْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مَنْ لَمْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا " (١)،
It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: I have been given five such characteristics which were not given to any prophet before me. Thus, I have been helped through awe, and the enemy becomes overawed by me from a distance of one month's journey. The entire earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me. The spoils of war have been made lawful for me, which were not made lawful for anyone before me. I have been sent to every red and black (i.e., to all mankind), and it was said to me: "Ask, you will be given." So I have reserved this right for the intercession of my Ummah, and this intercession will reach every one of you who meets Allah in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Him.

(٢)،
It is narrated from Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the truthful and trustworthy Prophet conveyed to us this statement from Allah Almighty: The reward of a good deed is tenfold, and I can increase it further, and the recompense of a sin is equal to it, and I can also forgive it. And O son of Adam! If you come to Me with sins filling the earth, but do not associate anyone with Me, I will meet you with forgiveness filling the earth.

Mutarrif says that once I was sitting with some people of the Quraysh when a man came and started praying. He would perform ruku and sujood, then stand up and again perform ruku and sujood, and would not sit in between. I said, "By Allah! It seems as if he does not know anything, whether to end the prayer with salam on even or odd rak'ahs." The people said to me, "Why don't you go to him and explain to him?" So I went to him and said, "O servant of Allah! It seems you do not know whether to finish the prayer on even or odd rak'ahs." He said, "Allah knows, I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: 'Whoever performs a sajdah for Allah, Allah writes for him one good deed, erases one sin, and raises him one degree.'" I asked him, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am Abu Dharr." So I returned to my companions and said, "May Allah give you a bad reward on behalf of your companions; you sent me to teach religion to a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: There are three types of people with whom Allah will neither speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He look at them, nor will He purify them, and for them there will be a painful punishment. I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who are these people? They are surely at a loss and in ruin." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) repeated his statement three times and said: The one who lets his lower garment hang below his ankles, the one who sells his goods by swearing a false oath, and the one who reminds others of his favors.

Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says that it is more beloved to me to swear ten times that Ibn Sayyad is the Dajjal than to swear once that he is not the Dajjal. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) once sent me to his mother and said, "Go and ask her how long she carried Ibn Sayyad in her womb." So I went and asked her, and she replied, "I carried him for twelve months." The Prophet (ﷺ) sent me to her again and said, "Ask her what his cry was like when he was born." I went again and asked her this question, and she replied, "He cried and screamed like a one-month-old child." Then, once, the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "I have thought of something in my mind for you, tell me what it is." He said, "You have thought of the nose of a white goat and smoke for me." He wanted to say the word "dukhan" (smoke), but he could not say it, so he only said "dukh." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Go away, you can never go beyond your status."

The narrator asked: What is the difference between a black dog and a red dog? Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Nephew!

The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then go to those people among whom you are and join them." He said, "I will take my weapon." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then you will be considered one of them. Therefore, if you fear the edge of the sword, then cover your face with your sheet so that he returns with his sin and yours."

Whoever drinks the water of this pond once will never feel thirsty again. Two streams of Paradise will be flowing into it. Whoever drinks its water will never feel thirsty again.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي فُلَيْتٌ الْعَامِرِيُّ، عَنْ جَسْرَةَ (١) الْعَامِرِيَّةِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً فَقَرَأَ بِآيَةٍ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ، يَرْكَعُ بِهَا وَيَسْجُدُ بِهَا: {إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ} [المائدة: ١١٨] ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ، قُلْتُ: يَا، ، رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا زِلْتَ تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتَ، تَرْكَعُ بِهَا وَتَسْجُدُ بِهَا قَالَ: "إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي الشَّفَاعَةَ لِأُمَّتِي فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ لِمَنْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا " (١)، ،
It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, during the night, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) began to pray and recited the same verse in bowing and prostration throughout the entire night until morning: "O Allah, if You punish them, they are Your servants, and if You forgive them, surely You are the Mighty, the Wise." When morning came, I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Did you recite the same verse continuously in bowing and prostration throughout the entire night until morning?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "I asked my Lord for the right of intercession for my Ummah, which He has granted me, and inshaAllah, it will be granted to everyone who does not associate anyone with Allah."

Nuaim bin Qanab Riyahi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I went to the service of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) but did not find him. I asked his wife, and she told me that he had gone to his land. After a short while, he came driving two camels. The saliva of one camel was falling on the haunch of its companion, and each of them had a water skin hanging from its neck. He took down both water skins, so I said, "O Abu Dharr! I never loved meeting anyone else as much as I loved meeting you, nor did I ever hate meeting anyone as much as I hated meeting you." He said, "Brother! How can these two things be combined?" I said, "In the days of ignorance, I buried a girl alive. I hoped that by meeting you, you would tell me a way of repentance and salvation (that is why I wished to meet you), but I also feared that you might say there is no way of repentance for me." Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Did you do this in the days of ignorance?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "Allah has forgiven all past sins." Then, with a gesture of his head, he ordered his wife to bring food for me, but she did not pay attention. He told her again, but she still did not pay attention. Eventually, their voices were raised. Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Stay behind us; you cannot go beyond the limit that the Prophet (ﷺ) has stated regarding you." I asked him, "What did the Prophet (ﷺ) say to you about them?" He mentioned this saying: "A woman is like a crooked rib; if you try to straighten her, you will break her, and if you leave her as she is, you will have to live with her crookedness and foolishness." Hearing this, she went back and after a while brought tharid prepared like "qatah." Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, "Eat and do not worry about me, for I am fasting." Then he stood up and began to pray, performing good but light bowings. I saw that he wanted to see me satisfied, but after a short while, he came and joined me in eating. Seeing this, I said, "Inna lillah." He asked, "What happened?" I said, "I could have suspected an ordinary person of lying to me, but I could not suspect you." He said, "By Allah! Since you met me, I have not lied to you." I said, "Did you not tell me that you were fasting, and now I see you eating?" He said, "Yes! I had already fasted three days in this month, for which the reward is established for me, and now eating with you is lawful for me."

Ibn Ahmas (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I met Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I have heard that you narrate a hadith from the Prophet (ﷺ)?" He replied, "Do not think for a moment that I would falsely attribute something to the Prophet (ﷺ) when I have not heard it. Which hadith is it that you have heard attributed to me?" I said, "I have heard that you say there are three types of people whom Allah loves, and three types of people whom Allah dislikes?" He said, "Yes! I have said this, and I have heard it from the Prophet (ﷺ)." I asked, "Who are those whom Allah loves?" He replied, "One is the person who meets the enemy with a group and stands firm before them until he is martyred or his companions are granted victory. The second are those who set out on a journey, their journey becomes long, and they wish to camp in the evening in some area. When they camp, one of them moves aside and starts praying until, when it is time to depart, he wakes them up. The third is the person who has such a neighbor from whose proximity he suffers harm, but he patiently endures his neighbor's harm until death separates them."

Sa’sa’ah bin Mu’awiyah says that once I came to Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, "What wealth do you possess?" He replied, "My wealth is my deeds." I requested him to narrate a hadith, so he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If three minor children of a Muslim husband and wife die, Allah Almighty will forgive that husband and wife." I said, "Tell me another hadith." He said, "Alright. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever among the Muslims spends two pairs from his wealth in the way of Allah, the gatekeepers of Paradise will come before him, and each of them will call him towards himself." I asked, "How can this status be attained?" He replied, "If there are many slaves, then free two slaves; if there are camels, then give two camels; and if there are cows, then give two cows."

The narrator asked: What is the difference between a black dog and a red dog? Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Nephew! I also asked the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) the same question as you have asked me, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The black dog is a devil.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: I do not like that Uhud mountain be turned into gold for me and that when I depart from this world, even one or half a dinar remains with me, except if I keep it for the repayment of a debt. Rather, my desire is that I distribute it among the servants of Allah in such a way. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) gestured with his hands, filling them and pointing to the right, left, and in front. Then we set off again, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, those who possess abundant wealth will be the ones in loss, except for the one who spends it in this way. And the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) again gestured with his hands to the right, left, and in front. We set off again, and when we reached a place, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Abu Dharr! Remain here until I return to you. Saying this, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) went off to one side until he disappeared from my sight. After a short while, I heard some sounds of commotion. I thought to myself that perhaps some incident had occurred with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). I thought of going after the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), but then I remembered his instruction not to move from here until he returned. So I waited for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) until he returned. I mentioned to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) the sounds I had heard. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: That was Jibreel (peace be upon him) who came to me and said: Whoever from your Ummah dies in the state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, he will enter Paradise. Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I asked, even if he commits adultery or theft? The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Yes, even if he commits adultery or theft.

If the anger goes away, that is very good; otherwise, he should lie down."

The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said twice, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! Those people are in loss." A severe grief overtook me and as I tried to compose myself, I thought perhaps something new had happened concerning me. So I asked, "Who are those people? May my parents be sacrificed for you." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The wealthy, except for the one who distributes (his wealth) among the servants of Allah in such and such a way, but such people are very few. Whoever dies leaving behind goats, camels, or cows on which he did not pay zakat, they will come on the Day of Judgment healthier than before and will trample him with their hooves and gore him with their horns, until judgment is passed among the people. Then one animal after another will continue to come."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: There are three types of people whom Allah loves, and three types of people whom Allah dislikes. Among those whom Allah loves is the man who meets the enemy with a group and stands firm before them until he is martyred or his companions are granted victory; secondly, those people who set out on a journey, their journey becomes long, and they wish to camp in some area in the evening, so when they camp, one of them moves aside and starts praying until, when it is time to depart, he wakes them up; and thirdly, the man who has such a neighbor from whose proximity he suffers harm, but he bears his harm with patience until death separates them. I asked: Who are those people whom Allah dislikes? He replied: The trader who swears oaths, the miser who boasts of his favors, and the poor man who is arrogant.

All the reward and merit have been taken by the wealthy people; they pray, they fast, and they also perform Hajj." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You also do these acts." I said, "They give charity, but we cannot give charity." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You can also do this: removing a bone from the path is charity, guiding someone on the way is charity, helping a weak person with your strength is charity, clarifying the speech of a person who stammers is charity, and having intercourse with your wife is also charity." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Do we get reward even for fulfilling our 'desire'?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell me, if you were to do this act in a forbidden way, would you not be sinful?" I replied, "Yes." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You count the sin but do not count the good deed."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah Almighty says, "O My servants! All of you are sinners except the one whom I grant well-being, so seek forgiveness from Me, I will forgive you. And whoever believes that I have the power to forgive and seeks forgiveness from Me through My power, I forgive him and do not mind. Each one of you is astray except the one whom I guide, so seek guidance from Me, I will grant you guidance. Each one of you is poor except the one whom I make rich, so seek richness from Me, I will grant you richness. If all of your first and last, living and dead, wet and dry, were to become like the heart of My most wicked servant, it would not decrease My kingdom by as much as the wing of a mosquito. And if all of them were to gather upon the heart of My most pious servant, it would not increase My kingdom by as much as the wing of a mosquito. If all of your first and last, living and dead, wet and dry, were to gather together and each one of them were to ask Me as much as his desire reaches, and I were to give each one what he asked for, it would not diminish My treasures any more than if one of you were to pass by the seashore, dip a needle into it, and then take it out—My kingdom would not be diminished by even that much. For I am exceedingly generous, majestic, and independent. My giving is by a single word, and My punishment also comes by a single word. When I intend something, I say 'Be,' and it comes into existence." It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah Almighty says, "O My servant! However much you worship and hope from Me, I will forgive all your sins. O My servant! If you come to Me with sins filling the earth, but you do not associate anyone with Me, I will meet you with as much forgiveness. O My servants! All of you are sinners except the one whom I grant well-being..." Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith.

Narrated to us Hisham ibn al-Qasim, narrated to us Abdul Hamid, narrated to us Shahr, narrated to me Ibn Ghanm, that Abu Dharr narrated to him, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: O My servant, as long as you worship Me and hope in Me, I will forgive you for whatever is in you. And O My servant, if you meet Me with the earth full of sins, not associating anything with Me, I will meet you with its like in forgiveness."

He asked, “Why are you weeping?” I said, “Why should I not weep? While you are dying in such a wilderness that I have no means to bury you, nor do I have enough cloth to shroud you.” He said, “Do not weep, and receive glad tidings, for I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever dies among two or three Muslim children, and he bears their death with patience seeking reward, he will never see the fire of Hell.’ And I also heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘One of you will surely die in a wilderness, and a group of believers will be present with him.’ Now, each of those people has died in some city or among a group, and I am the one who is dying in the wilderness. By Allah, I am neither lying nor has a lie been told to me.”

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: There are three types of people with whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection: the one who lets his lower garment hang below his ankles, the one who sells his goods by swearing falsely, and the one who reminds others of his favors.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Your slaves are your brothers whom Allah has placed under your authority as a trial. Therefore, whoever has his brother under his authority should feed him from what he eats, clothe him from what he wears, and should not assign him a task that overpowers him. If such a task is assigned, then he should help him with it himself."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! The wealthy have clearly surpassed us. They perform prayers and fast as we do, and they also have wealth with which they give charity, whereas we do not have wealth to give in charity." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Shall I not tell you of an act, which if you do, you will catch up with those before you and surpass those who come after you, except for one who does the same as you? After every prayer, say Subhan Allah 33 times, Allahu Akbar 33 times, and Alhamdulillah 34 times."

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلْتُ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ: "هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ " فَجَلَسْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَقَارَّ أَنْ قُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هُمْ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي؟ قَالَ: "هُمُ الْأَكْثَرُونَ مَالًا إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ بِالْمَالِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا، وَقَلِيلٌ مَا هُمْ " (١)،
It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said twice, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! Those people are in loss." A severe grief overtook me and, catching my breath, I began to think that perhaps something new had happened concerning me. So I asked, "Who are those people? May my parents be sacrificed for you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The wealthy, except for the one who distributes (his wealth) among the servants of Allah in such and such a way, but such people are very few."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قُرَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، حَدَّثَنِي صَعْصَعَةُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِأَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَدْ تَلَقَّانِي بِرَوَاحِلَ قَدْ أَوْرَدَهَا، ثُمَّ أَصْدَرَهَا، وَقَدْ أَعْلَقَ قِرْبَةً فِي عُنُقِ بَعِيرٍ مِنْهَا لِيَشْرَبَ وَيَسْقِيَ أَصْحَابَهُ، وَكَانَ خُلُقًا مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الْعَرَبِ، قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا لَكَ؟ قَالَ: لِي عَمَلِي. قُلْتُ: إِيهٍ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، مَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ مِنْ مَالِهِ ابْتَدَرَتْهُ حَجَبَةُ الْجَنَّةِ " قُلْنَا: مَا هَذَانِ الزَّوْجَانِ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَتْ رِجَالًا فَرَجُلَانِ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ خَيْلًا فَفَرَسَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ إِبِلًا، ، فَبَعِيرَانِ، حَتَّى عَدَّ أَصْنَافَ الْمَالِ كُلِّهِ، قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِيهِ، مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ، إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ لِلصِّبْيَةِ (١) " (٢)،
Sa’sa’ah bin Mu’awiyah says that once I reached "Rabadha" where I met Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). He took some riding animals to the water place and then was bringing them back, and had hung a water-skin on the neck of a camel so that he could drink himself and also give his companions to drink, which was the custom of the Arabs. I asked Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "Do you have any wealth?" He replied, "I have my deeds." I said, "O Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), tell me something you heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say." He said, "I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: Whoever spends two pairs from his wealth, the gatekeepers of Paradise compete for him." I asked him the meaning of "pair," so he said, "If they are slaves, then two slaves; if horses, then two horses; if camels, then two camels," and he counted all types of wealth. Sa’sa’ah bin Mu’awiyah says that once I came to Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) and requested him to narrate a hadith, so he said, "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If two Muslim husband and wife lose three minor children, Allah Almighty will, by His grace, admit those husband and wife into Paradise."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) saying: A messenger from my Lord came to me and gave me the glad tidings that whoever from my Ummah dies in the state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, he will enter Paradise. I asked, even if he commits adultery and theft? The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Even if he commits adultery and theft.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that my beloved friend (ﷺ) commanded me regarding seven things: He commanded me to love the poor and to remain close to them; to look at those below me and not at those above me; to maintain ties of kinship even if others break them; not to ask anything from anyone; to speak the truth even if it is bitter; not to fear the blame of any blamer for the sake of Allah; and to frequently recite "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah," for these words come from a treasure beneath the Throne.

Abu Asma says that once he entered the house of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was at the place of Rabdha. His healthy black-skinned wife was also with him, but there were no signs of adornment or fragrance on her. He said to me, "Look at this Abyssinian woman, what does she say to me? She says that I should go to Iraq. When I go to Iraq, the people there will come to me with their worldly possessions. And my beloved Prophet (ﷺ) advised me that there will be a path over the bridge of Hell which will be slippery and unstable. Therefore, when we reach that bridge, it is better that we have nothing heavy in our belongings than to reach there burdened under the weight of our possessions."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: O Abu Dharr! Soon there will come some rulers who will not perform the prayer at its appointed time. You should perform the prayer at its appointed time. If you come at a time when the people have already prayed, then you have preserved your prayer, and if they have not prayed, then join them, and this prayer will be a voluntary (nafl) prayer for you.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we observed the fasts of Ramadan with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) did not perform Qiyam (night prayer) with us for the entire month. When the 24th night came, the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Qiyam with us until about a third of the night had passed. When the next night came, the Prophet (ﷺ) did not perform Qiyam with us again. On the 26th night, he performed such a long Qiyam with us that about half of the night had passed. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! If only you would continue to lead us in prayer for the rest of the night?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When a person stands with the Imam and remains with him until he finishes, it is as if he has spent the whole night in prayer." On the next night, the Prophet (ﷺ) again did not perform Qiyam with us. On the 28th night, the Prophet (ﷺ) gathered his family, and the people also gathered. The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in prayer for so long that we feared missing 'Falah.' I asked about the meaning of 'Falah,' and he explained that it means Suhoor (pre-dawn meal). Then he said, "O nephew! After that, the Prophet (ﷺ) did not perform Qiyam with us on any night of the month."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah Almighty says, "I have made oppression unlawful for Myself and for My servants, so do not oppress one another. All the children of Adam commit sins day and night, then they seek forgiveness from Me, so I forgive them, and it does not matter to Me." Furthermore, the Lord says: "O children of Adam, all of you are astray except the one whom I guide. And every one of you is naked except the one whom I clothe. Every one of you is hungry except the one whom I feed. And every one of you is thirsty except the one whom I give drink. Therefore, seek guidance from Me, I will guide you. Ask Me for clothing, I will clothe you. Ask Me for food, I will feed you. And ask Me for water, I will give you drink." "O My servants! If the first and the last of you, the jinn and mankind, the small and the great, the men and the women, were to gather together upon the heart of the most pious man among you, it would not increase My dominion in the least. And if the first and the last of you, the jinn and mankind, the small and the great, the men and the women, were to gather together upon the heart of the most disbelieving man among you, it would not decrease My dominion in the least, not even as much as the tip of a needle dipped into the sea and then taken out."

Then he went away to one side. I followed him until he sat down near a pillar. I said to him: I see that these people were not pleased with your words? He said: Once my beloved friend Abu al-Qasim (ﷺ) called me and said: O Abu Dharr! I replied: At your service. He said: Do you see the mountain of Uhud? I raised my gaze and looked at the sun because I thought he would send me for some task, so I replied: I see it. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: I do not like that I should have gold equal to this mountain; I would spend all of it except for three dinars.

Ma’rur says that once I saw (in Rabadhah) Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), and the clothes he was wearing were the same as those his slave was wearing. I asked him about this, so he told me that one day, during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), he had spoken harshly to a man and reproached him regarding his mother. That man went to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and mentioned this. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “There is still some effect of the Age of Ignorance left in you. Your slaves are your brothers whom Allah has placed under your authority. So, whoever has his brother under his authority, he should feed him what he eats himself and clothe him with what he wears himself. And do not burden them with work that is beyond their capacity; and if you must do so, then help them.”

I asked, even if he commits adultery and theft? The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Even if he commits adultery and theft.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: I have been given five such characteristics which were not given to any prophet before me. Thus, I have been helped through awe, and the enemy becomes overawed by me from a distance of one month's journey. The entire earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me. The spoils of war have been made lawful for me, which were not made lawful for anyone before me. I have been sent to every red and black (i.e., to all mankind), and it was said to me: "Ask, you will be given." So I have reserved this right for the intercession of my Ummah, and this intercession will reach every one of you who meets Allah in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Him.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: There are three types of people with whom Allah will neither speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He look at them, nor will He purify them, and for them there will be a painful punishment. I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who are these people? They are surely at a loss and in ruin." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) repeated his statement three times and said: The one who lets his lower garment hang below his ankles, the one who sells his goods by swearing a false oath, and the one who reminds others of his favors.

He replied, "I believe that this horse's supplication is accepted." He asked him, "What do you mean by the supplication of an animal?"

Fulan Anzi says that he was returning from somewhere with Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). On the way, at one place, people dispersed, so I said to him, "O Abu Dharr! I want to ask you something regarding the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)." He replied, "If it is a secret matter, I will not tell you." I said, "It is not a secret matter. If a person met the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), would the Prophet (ﷺ) take his hand and shake hands with him?" He replied, "You have asked an informed person. Whenever I met the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), he would take my hand and shake hands with me, except for one time, and that was the very last incident. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) sent a messenger to call me. I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), and he was in his final illness. I saw the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) lying down, so I leaned over him. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) raised his hand and embraced me to his chest. Peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we went out from one of the outskirts of Madinah Munawwarah, and I was behind the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: O Abu Dharr! Perform the prayer at its appointed time. If you come at a time when people have already performed the prayer, then you have preserved your prayer. And if they have not yet performed the prayer, then join them, and this prayer will be counted as a voluntary (nafl) prayer for you.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we observed the fasts of Ramadan with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) did not perform Qiyam (night prayer) with us for the entire month. When the 24th night came, the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Qiyam with us until about a third of the night had passed. When the next night came, the Prophet (ﷺ) did not perform Qiyam with us again. On the 26th night, he performed such a long Qiyam with us that about half of the night had passed. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! If only you would continue to lead us in prayer for the rest of the night?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No. When a person stands with the Imam and remains with him until he finishes, it is as if he has spent the whole night in prayer." On the next night, the Prophet (ﷺ) again did not perform Qiyam with us. On the 28th night, the Prophet (ﷺ) gathered his family, and the people also gathered. The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in prayer for so long that we feared missing 'Falah.' I asked about the meaning of 'Falah,' and he explained that it means Suhoor (pre-dawn meal). Then he said, "O nephew! After that, the Prophet (ﷺ) did not perform Qiyam with us on any night of the month."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ: عَكَّافُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "يَا عَكَّافُ، هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ؟ " قَالَ: لَا. قَالَ: "وَلَا جَارِيَةٍ؟ " قَالَ: وَلَا جَارِيَةَ. قَالَ: "وَأَنْتَ مُوسِرٌ بِخَيْرٍ؟ " قَالَ: وَأَنَا مُوسِرٌ بِخَيْرٍ. قَالَ: "أَنْتَ إِذًا مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الشَّيَاطِينِ، لَوْ كُنْتَ فِي النَّصَارَى كُنْتَ مِنْ رُهْبَانِهِمْ، إِنَّ سُنَّتَنَا النِّكَاحُ، شِرَارُكُمْ عُزَّابُكُمْ، وَأَرَاذِلُ مَوْتَاكُمْ عُزَّابُكُمْ، أَبِالشَّيْطَانِ تَمَرَّسُونَ مَا لِلشَّيْطَانِ مِنْ سِلَاحٍ أَبْلَغُ فِي الصَّالِحِينَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا الْمُتَزَوِّجُونَ، أُولَئِكَ الْمُطَهَّرُونَ الْمُبَرَّؤُونَ مِنَ الْخَنَا، وَيْحَكَ يَا عَكَّافُ، إِنَّهُنَّ صَوَاحِبُ أَيُّوبَ وَدَاوُدَ، وَيُوسُفَ وَكُرْسُفَ ". فَقَالَ لَهُ بِشْرُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ: وَمَنْ كُرْسُفُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: "رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللهَ بِسَاحِلٍ مِنْ سَوَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةِ عَامٍ، يَصُومُ النَّهَارَ، وَيَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ كَفَرَ بِاللهِ الْعَظِيمِ فِي سَبَبِ امْرَأَةٍ عَشِقَهَا، وَتَرَكَ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ اللهِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَدْرَكَ اللهُ بِبَعْضِ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ، وَيْحَكَ يَا عَكَّافُ تَزَوَّجْ، وَإِلَّا فَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُذَبْذَبِينَ " قَالَ: زَوِّجْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: "قَدْ زَوَّجْتُكَ كَرِيمَةَ بِنْتَ كُلْثُومٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man named "Ukaf bin Bishr Tamimi" came to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked him, "Ukaf! Do you have a wife?" Ukaf replied, "No." The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "Any slave woman?" He said, "No." The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "Are you wealthy?" He replied, "Yes, Alhamdulillah!" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Then you are a brother of Satan. If you were among the Christians, you would be counted among their monks, but our way is marriage. The worst among you are the unmarried, and those who die unmarried die the most disgraceful death. Do you fight against Satan? For Satan has no weapon more effective against righteous men than women, except for those who are married. These are the ones who are pure and free from filth. Ukaf, these women were companions of Ayub (peace be upon him), Dawood (peace be upon him), Yusuf (peace be upon him), and Krisaf (peace be upon him)." Bishr bin Atiyyah asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who was Krisaf?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "He was a man who worshipped Allah on a seashore for three hundred years, fasting during the day and standing in prayer at night. But then he fell into the trap of love for a woman and ended up committing disbelief in Allah and abandoned the worship of Allah. Later, Allah helped him and accepted his repentance. O Ukaf! Get married, otherwise you will remain in confusion." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! Please arrange my marriage yourself." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "I have married you to Karima bint Kulthum Himyari."

Ahnaf bin Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was in Madinah Munawwarah when I saw a man whom, as soon as people saw him, they began to avoid him. I asked him, "Who are you?"

He said, "I stop them from accumulating wealth just as the Prophet (ﷺ) used to stop them."

Mutarrif says that once I was sitting with some people of the Quraysh when a man came and started praying. He would perform ruku and sujood, then stand up and again perform ruku and sujood, and would not sit in between. I said, "By Allah! It seems as if he does not know anything, whether to end the prayer with salam on even or odd rak'ahs." The people said to me, "Why don't you go to him and explain to him?" So I went to him and said, "O servant of Allah! It seems that you do not know whether to end the prayer on even or odd rak'ahs." He said, "Allah knows, I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: 'Whoever performs a sajdah for Allah, Allah writes for him one good deed, forgives one sin, and raises him one degree.'" I asked him, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am Abu Dharr." So I returned to my companions and said, "May Allah give you a bad reward on behalf of your companions; you sent me to teach religion to a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)."

Sa’sa’ah bin Mu’awiyah says that once I came to Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, “What wealth do you possess?” He replied, “My wealth is my deeds.” I requested him to narrate a hadith, so he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “If three minor children of a Muslim couple die, Allah Almighty will forgive that husband and wife. And any Muslim who spends two pairs from his wealth in the way of Allah, the gatekeepers of Paradise will come quickly before him, and each of them will call him towards himself.”

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: If a person does not even have the rear part of a camel saddle in front of him, then his prayer will be invalidated if a woman, a donkey, or a black dog passes in front of him. The narrator asked: What is the difference between a black dog and a red dog? Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Nephew! I also asked the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) the same question as you have asked me, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The black dog is a devil.

Once, Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) stood among his people and said, "O Banu Ghifar! Do not disagree in what you say, because the truthful and trusted Prophet (ﷺ) has told me that on the Day of Resurrection, people will be gathered in three groups: one will be of riders who will eat, drink, and wear clothes; the second group will be of those walking and running, upon whose faces the angels will impose fire and they will be driven towards Hell." Someone asked, "We have understood about these two groups, but what will be the matter of those walking and running?" He replied, "Allah Almighty will send a calamity upon the riding animals so that no riding animal will remain. That is why, in the world, if a man has a very fine garden and is given an extremely furious she-camel, it is obvious that he will not be able to ride it."

The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It goes and prostrates before its Lord, then seeks permission to return, which is granted to it. When it is said to it, 'Return to where you came from,' it returns to its rising place. That is its place of settlement." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) recited this verse: "The sun runs on its fixed course."

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْعَوَّامُ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا قَدْ حَمَلْنَا لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ، شَيْئًا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نُعْطِيَهُ إِيَّاهُ، فَأَتَيْنَا الرَّبَذَةَ فَسَأَلْنَا عَنْهُ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهُ، قِيلَ: اسْتَأْذَنَ فِي الْحَجِّ، فَأُذِنَ لَهُ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ بِالْبَلْدَةِ، وَهِيَ مِنًى، فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ إِذْ قِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا، فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ، وَقَالَ قَوْلًا شَدِيدًا، وَقَالَ: صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ. ثُمَّ قَامَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعًا، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: عِبْتَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ صنعتَه (١) قَالَ: الْخِلَافُ أَشَدُّ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَنَا فَقَالَ: "إِنَّهُ كَائِنٌ بَعْدِي سُلْطَانٌ فَلَا تُذِلُّوهُ، فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُذِلَّهُ فَقَدْ خَلَعَ رِبْقَةَ الْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ عُنُقِهِ، وَلَيْسَ بِمَقْبُولٍ مِنْهُ تَوْبَةٌ حَتَّى يَسُدَّ ثُلْمَتَهُ الَّتِي ثَلَمَ، وَلَيْسَ بِفَاعِلٍ، ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فَيَكُونُ فِيمَنْ يُعِزُّهُ ".، ، أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا يَغْلِبُونَا عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ: أَنْ نَأْمُرَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَنَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، وَنُعَلِّمَ النَّاسَ السُّنَنَ (١)،
A man says that once we collected some things to go and give them to Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). So we reached "Rabadha" and started searching for him, but he was not found there. Someone informed us that he had sought permission to go for Hajj, which was granted to him. So we reached Mina. While we were sitting with him, someone came and informed him that Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) had led four rak‘ahs of prayer in Mina. This weighed heavily on Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said some harsh words, saying: "I have prayed with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), and he prayed two rak‘ahs, and I have also prayed in the same way with Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them)." Then Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and prayed four rak‘ahs. Someone said to him: "Earlier you criticized the action of the Commander of the Faithful, but now you are doing the same thing yourself." He replied: "To differ (with the leader) is even more severe." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) once addressed us in a sermon and said: "After me, a king will come; do not humiliate him. Whoever wishes to humiliate him, it is as if he has removed the rope of Islam from his own neck, and his repentance will not be accepted until he closes the hole which he has opened, but he will not do so. Then if he returns, he will be among those who honor (the leader)." The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) also commanded that we should not be overcome regarding three things: continue to enjoin good, continue to forbid evil, and continue to teach people the Sunnahs.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! A man loves a certain people but cannot perform deeds like theirs. What is his status?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), you will be with those whom you love." I said, "Then I love Allah and His Messenger." He repeated this sentence not once, but three times.

And whoever calls someone a disbeliever or an enemy of Allah, while he is not so, then it returns upon the one who said it.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). He was wearing white clothes. When I arrived, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) was sleeping. I came again, and he was still sleeping. The third time, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) had awakened, so I sat beside him. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah and departs from this world upon this testimony, will enter Paradise." I asked, "Even if he commits adultery and theft?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes! Even if he commits adultery and theft." This question and answer happened three times. The fourth time, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes! Even if Abu Dharr's nose becomes dust-covered." Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), upon hearing this, left dragging his cloak, repeating this sentence, and whenever he narrated this hadith, he would certainly repeat this sentence: "Even if Abu Dharr's nose becomes dust-covered."

It is narrated from Umm Zar (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the time of Abu Dharr’s (may Allah be pleased with him) death drew near, I began to weep. He asked, “Why are you crying?” I said, “Why should I not cry? You are dying in a wilderness in such a state that I have no means to bury you, nor do I have enough cloth to shroud you.” He said, “Do not cry and receive glad tidings, for I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘Whoever dies among two or three Muslim children, and he bears their death with patience seeking reward, he will never see the fire of Hell.’ And I also heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘One of you will surely die in a wilderness, and a group of believers will be present with him.’ Now, each of those people has died in some city or among a group, and I am the one who is dying in the wilderness. By Allah, I am neither lying nor has a lie been told to me.” His wife said, “Now even the pilgrims have returned, so who will come?” He said, “Keep watch on the road.” While she was talking, she saw some people approaching, driving their mounts at full speed, as if vultures were swiftly coming. They stopped near her and asked, “What is your matter (that you are standing on the road)?” She replied, “There is a Muslim man here; arrange for his shrouding and burial, you will receive great reward.” They asked, “Who is he?” She replied, “Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him).” They sacrificed their parents for him, placed their whips on the chests of their animals, and hurried on. When they reached there, Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “Glad tidings to you, for you are the people about whom the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Glad tidings, for I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: If two or three children of two Muslim men and women die, and both bear it with patience seeking reward, they will never see Hell.’ Now, my condition today is before you. If you find any cloth among my clothes that is sufficient for me, then shroud me in it, and I swear by Allah, do not let anyone shroud me who is a chief, or a leader, or a notable among you.” Now, among those people, each one had some such quality, except for one young Ansari who had come with the people. He said, “I will shroud you. I have two garments which my mother had woven; one of them is on my body.” Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “You are my companion, so you shroud me.”

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! All the reward and merit has been taken by the wealthy people." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You can also do this: removing a bone from the path is charity, guiding someone on the road is charity, helping a weak person with your strength is charity, clarifying the speech of a person who stammers is charity, and having intercourse with your wife is also charity." I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Do we get reward even for fulfilling our 'desire'?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell me, if you were to fulfill this desire in a forbidden way, would you not incur sin?" I replied, "Yes." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You count the sin but do not count the good deed."

Hanaf bin Qais, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I was present in Madinah Munawwarah. I was participating in a gathering "in which some people from the Quraysh were also sitting" when a man came (he approached them and said: Glad tidings to those who accumulate wealth, of the branding that will be branded from their backs and will come out from their bellies, and of the branding from the nape that will come out from their foreheads). Then he went away to one side. I followed him until he sat down near a pillar. I said to him: I see that these people were not pleased with what you said? He replied: I only say to them what I heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say. I asked him: What do you say about this stipend? He said: Take it, for nowadays it helps in many matters. If it is the price of your debt, then leave it.

The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is it charity if one of us fulfills his desire?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell me, if he fulfills his desire in a forbidden way, would he not be sinful? Therefore, when he fulfills it in a lawful way, why should he not be rewarded?" Some narrators have also considered saying 'La ilaha illallah', saying 'Allahu Akbar', enjoining good, and forbidding evil as charity.

Fulan Anzi says that he was returning from somewhere with Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). On the way, at one place, people dispersed, so I said to him, "O Abu Dharr! I want to ask you something regarding the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)." He replied, "If it is a secret matter, I will not tell you." I said, "It is not a secret matter." I asked, "When someone met the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), did he take his hand and shake hands with him?" He replied, "You have asked a well-informed person. Whenever I met the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), he took my hand and shook hands with me, except for one time, and that was the very last incident. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) sent a messenger to call me. I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), and he was in his final illness. I saw the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) lying down, so I leaned over him. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) raised his hand and embraced me to his chest. Peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Charity is obligatory upon every joint of each one of you every morning, and every utterance of Subhanallah is charity, every utterance of La ilaha illallah is charity, every utterance of Allahu Akbar is charity, every utterance of Alhamdulillah is charity, enjoining good is charity, and forbidding evil is charity. And all these are sufficed by the two rak‘ahs that any one of you prays at the time of Duha. Remove a thorn, bone, or stone from the path of people, guide a blind person on the way, explain something to a mute or deaf person, guide a needy person to the place where you know his need can be fulfilled, run with your shins to help an oppressed or distressed person, lift up a weak person with the strength of your hands—these are all doors of charity from you upon yourself. In fact, you even receive reward for intimacy with your wife. Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: How can I receive reward for fulfilling my desire? The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Suppose a child is born to you and you hope for good from him, but he dies—do you hope for reward for that? I said: Yes! The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Did you create him? I replied: No, rather Allah created him. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked: Did you guide him? I replied: No, rather Allah guided him. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked: Did you provide for him? I replied: No, rather Allah provided for him. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: In the same way, use it in a lawful manner and avoid the unlawful. If Allah wills, He will grant life to someone, and if He wills, He will grant death to someone, but you will receive reward for it.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَعَامَةَ، عَنْ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الْعَطَاءَ مِنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى حَلْقَةٍ مِنْ حِلَقِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ أَسْمَالٌ لَهُ قَدْ لَفَّ ثَوْبًا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، قَالَ: "بَشِّرِ الْكَنَّازِينَ بِكَيٍّ فِي الْجِبَاهِ، وَبِكَيٍّ فِي الظُّهُورِ، وَبِكَيٍّ فِي الْجُنُوبِ "، ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ، فَصَلَّى خَلْفَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقِيلَ:، ، هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: مَا شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتُكَ تُنَادِي بِهِ؟ قَالَ: "مَا قُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا شَيْئًا سَمِعُوهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّهِمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ". فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ آخُذُ الْعَطَاءَ مِنْ عُمَرَ، فَمَا تَرَى؟ قَالَ: خُذْهُ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِ الْيَوْمَ مَعُونَةً، وَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يَكُونَ دَيْنًا، فَإِذَا كَانَ دَيْنًا فَارْفُضْهُ (١)،
Hanaf bin Qais, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I was present in Madinah Munawwarah. I was participating in a gathering "in which some people from the Quraysh were also sitting" when a man came (he approached them and said: Glad tidings to those who accumulate wealth, of the branding that will be branded on their backs and will come out from their bellies, and of the branding that will be branded on the nape and will come out from their foreheads. Then he went away to one side). I followed him until he sat down near a pillar. I said to him: I see that these people were not pleased with what you said? He replied: I only say to them what I heard the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) say. I asked him: What do you say about this stipend? He said: Take it, for nowadays it helps in many matters. If it is the price of your debt, then leave it.

The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "This is the best of all good deeds."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah says, "Whoever does a good deed will receive ten times its reward, or I may increase it even more. And whoever commits a sin, its recompense will be equal to it, or I may forgive him. Whoever fills the earth with sins and then meets Me in a state that he does not associate anyone with Me, I will decide for him forgiveness equal to that. And whoever comes near to Me by a handspan, I come near to him by an arm's length; and whoever comes near to Me by an arm's length, I come near to him by a fathom; and whoever comes to Me walking, I come to him running."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself in the service of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said twice, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! Those people are in loss." A severe grief overtook me and as I tried to compose myself, I began to think that perhaps something new had happened concerning me. So I asked, "Who are those people? May my parents be sacrificed for you." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The wealthy, except for the one who distributes (his wealth) among the servants of Allah in such and such a way, but such people are very few. Whoever dies leaving behind goats, camels, or cows on which he did not pay zakat, they will come on the Day of Judgment healthier than before and will trample him with their hooves and gore him with their horns, until judgment is passed among the people. Then one animal after another will continue to come."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, a man will be brought and it will be said, "Present before him his minor sins." Thus, his minor sins will be brought before him and his major sins will be concealed. He will be asked, "Did you do such and such on such and such a day?" He will confess to every sin and will not deny any of them, and he will be fearful because of his major sins. At that time, it will be commanded, "For every sin, give him one good deed." He will say, "I have many sins that I do not see here yet." Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says that at this, I saw the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) laughing so much that his blessed teeth became visible.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Abu Dharr! Look around in the mosque and see who appears to be the most distinguished person." I looked around and saw a man wearing a fine garment, so I pointed towards him. Then he said, "Now look and see who appears to be the lowest in rank." I looked around and saw a man wearing old clothes, so I pointed towards him. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This man, on the Day of Resurrection, will be better in the sight of Allah than the first man, even if the earth is filled with the likes of the first man."

Jasrah bint Dajajah says that once she was going for Umrah. When she reached the place of Rabdhah, she heard Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) saying that once the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) led the people in the Isha prayer. After the prayer, the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) stepped back and began to offer voluntary prayers. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), seeing this, returned to his tent. When he saw that the people had left, he came back to his place and began to offer voluntary prayers. I came from behind and stood behind the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) gestured to me with his right hand, so I went and stood on his right side. After a little while, Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) also came and stood behind us. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) gestured to him with his left hand, so he went and stood on the left side. In this way, the three of us stood in prayer, and each of us was offering his own prayer and reciting as much of the Holy Qur’an as Allah willed. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) kept repeating a single verse in his standing position until the time for Fajr prayer arrived. When morning came, I gestured to Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) about the action of the night, but he replied with a gesture of his hand that he would not ask the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) anything until he himself mentioned it. So, gathering courage, I myself said, “May my parents be sacrificed for you! You kept reciting a single verse of the Holy Qur’an all night, even though you have the entire Qur’an. If any one of us had done this, we would have been angry with him. If people find out, they will even stop praying.” I said, “Should I not give this glad tidings to the people?” The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, “Why not?” So I turned my neck and started to go, and had only gone as far as a stone could be thrown, when Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “If you send him with this message to the people, they will become heedless of worship.” Upon this, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) called him back, and he returned. And that verse was: ( إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ ) “O Allah! If You punish them, they are Your servants, and if You forgive them, then surely You are the Mighty, the Wise.”

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُدَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ فَرَسٍ عَرَبِيٍّ إِلَّا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ مَعَ كُلِّ فَجْرٍ يَدْعُو بِدَعْوَتَيْنِ يَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ خَوَّلْتَنِي مَنْ خَوَّلْتَنِي مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ، فَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَحَبِّ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ إِلَيْهِ، أَوْ أَحَبَّ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ إِلَيْهِ " قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: قَالَ أَبِي: خَالَفَهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، فَقَالَ: عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِمَاسَةَ، وقَالَ لَيْثٌ: عَنْ ابْنِ (١) شِمَاسَةَ، أَيْضًا (٢)، ،
Muawiyah bin Hudaij once passed by Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) who was standing by his horse. He asked, "Why do you take such care of your horse?" He replied, "I believe that this horse's supplication is accepted." He asked him, "What do you mean by the supplication of an animal?" Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, there is no horse that does not supplicate every day at the time of suhoor: 'O Allah, You have made one of Your servants my owner and placed my sustenance in his hand, so make me more beloved to him in his sight than his family, wealth, and children.'"

Abdullah bin Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I said to Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "I wish I had seen the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), so that I could have asked him just one question." He (Abu Dharr) said, "What question would you have asked him?" He (Abdullah) said, "I would have asked whether you have seen your Lord?" Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I have already asked him that question, and in response he said, 'I saw a light, how could I see Him?'"

Abu Murthad says that I asked Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did you ask the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about the Night of Qadr?" He replied, "I was the one who asked the most about it. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, is the Night of Qadr in the month of Ramadan or in some other month?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'No, rather it is in the month of Ramadan.' I asked, 'Did it remain with the previous Prophets (peace be upon them) as long as they were Prophets, and when they passed away it was lifted, or will it remain until the Day of Resurrection?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'No! It will remain until the Day of Resurrection.' I asked, 'In which part of Ramadan does the Night of Qadr occur?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Seek it in the first ten or the last ten.' Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) began to narrate a hadith, and during this I was overcome by drowsiness. When I became alert, I asked, 'In which twenty nights does it occur?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Seek it in the last ten nights, and do not ask me any more questions.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) began to narrate a hadith again, and I was again overcome by heedlessness. When I became alert, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), I ask you by the right I have over you, tell me in which ten nights it occurs?' At this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) became so angry that since I had been in his company, I had never seen him so angry, and he said, 'Seek it in the last seven nights, and do not ask me any more questions.'"

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), which deed is the most virtuous?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "To have faith in Allah and to strive in His path." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), which slave is best to set free?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The one who is most precious and valuable to his owner." I asked, "What if I do not find such a slave?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Help someone in need or work for a needy person." I asked, "What if I am unable to do even that?" He said, "Keep people safe from your harm, for this too is a charity that you give from yourself."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that my beloved friend (ﷺ) advised me regarding three things: (1) Listen and obey, even if a slave with cut-off limbs is appointed as your ruler; (2) When you prepare broth, increase its water, then look to your neighbors and deliver some of it to them in a good manner; (3) And perform the prayer at its appointed time, and when you see the imam has finished the prayer, then you have also completed your prayer, otherwise it will be considered a voluntary prayer.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever drinks alcohol, his prayers are not accepted for forty days. Then if he repents, Allah accepts his repentance. If he drinks again, the same happens. (On the third or fourth time, he said:) Then it becomes incumbent upon Allah to make him drink the water of "Teenat al-Khabal." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is Teenat al-Khabal? He said: The pus of the people of Hell.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah that I wish to spend this night with you and participate in your prayer. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: You do not have the strength to do so. Nevertheless, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) went to perform ghusl, a cloth was put up as a curtain, and I sat turning my face away. When the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) finished ghusl and came out, I did the same. Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stood up to pray and I stood with him, until due to the length of the prayer, I began to bump my head against the walls. Then Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came for the prayer. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked him: Have you done it? He replied in the affirmative. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Bilal! You give the adhan when the dawn appears in the sky, but that is not the real true dawn. The true dawn appears in a horizontal manner. Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) called for suhoor and partook of it.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) took a pledge from me on five things, made a covenant with me on seven things, and made Allah a witness over nine things: that I will not care about the blame of any blamer in the matter of Allah. Once, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) called me and said, "Will you pledge allegiance to me, in return for which you will be granted Paradise?" I replied in the affirmative and extended my hand. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stipulated this condition: "You will not ask anything from anyone." I replied in the affirmative.

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we observed the fasts of Ramadan with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) did not perform Qiyam (night prayer) with us for the entire month. When the 24th night came, the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Qiyam with us until about a third of the night had passed. When the next night came, the Prophet (ﷺ) did not perform Qiyam with us again. On the 26th night, he performed such a long Qiyam with us that about half the night had passed. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! If only you would continue to lead us in prayer for the rest of the night?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When a person stands with the Imam and remains with him until he finishes, it is counted for him as if he spent the whole night in prayer."

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he saw two goats butting each other with their horns, and one of them overpowered the other.

حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا بِحَضْرَةِ مَكَّةَ، قَالَ: فَنَافَرَ أُنَيْسٌ رَجُلًا عَنْ صِرْمَتِنَا، وَعَنْ مِثْلِهَا، فَأَتَيَا الْكَاهِنَ، فَخَيَّرَ أُنَيْسًا، فَأَتَانَا بِصِرْمَتِنَا، وَمِثْلِهَا. وَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي قَبْلَ أَنْ أَلْقَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: لِمَنْ؟ قَالَ: لِلَّهِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَأَيْنَ تَوَجَّهُ؟، ، قَالَ: حَيْثُ وَجَّهَنِي اللهُ، قَالَ: وَأُصَلِّي عِشَاءً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ أُلْقِيتُ كَأَنِّي خِفَاءٌ، قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ (١) : قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: كَأَنِّي خِفَاءٌ، قَالَ: يَعْنِي خِبَاءً (٢) تَعْلُوَنِي الشَّمْسُ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ أُنَيْسٌ: إِنَّ لِي حَاجَةً بِمَكَّةَ، فَاكْفِنِي حَتَّى آتِيَكَ. قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ فَرَاثَ عَلَيَّ، ثُمَّ أَتَانِي، فَقُلْتُ: مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ قَالَ: لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ اللهَ أَرْسَلَهُ عَلَى دِينِكَ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ لَهُ؟ قَالَ: يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّهُ شَاعِرٌ وَسَاحِرٌ وَكَاهِنٌ، وَكَانَ أُنَيْسٌ شَاعِرًا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ قَوْلَ الْكُهَّانِ، فَمَا يَقُولُ بِقَوْلِهِمْ، وَقَدْ وَضَعْتُ قَوْلَهُ عَلَى أَقْرَاءِ الشِّعْرِ، فَوَاللهِ مَا يَلْتَامُ لِسَانُ أَحَدٍ أَنَّهُ شِعْرٌ، وَاللهِ إِنَّهُ لَصَادِقٌ، وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: هَلْ أَنْتَ كَافِيَّ حَتَّى أَنْطَلِقَ فَأَنْظُرَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَكُنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ عَلَى حَذَرٍ، فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ شَنِفُوا لَهُ، وَتَجَهَّمُوا لَهُ، وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: شَئِفُوا لَهُ، وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ: سَبَقُوا لَهُ، وَقَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ: شَفَوْا لَهُ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى قَدِمْتُ مَكَّةَ، فَتَضَعَّفْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ، فَقُلْتُ: أَيْنَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي تَدْعُونَهُ الصَّابِئَ؟ قَالَ: فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ، قَالَ: الصَّابِئُ، قَالَ: فَمَالَ أَهْلُ الْوَادِي عَلَيَّ بِكُلِّ مَدَرَةٍ وَعَظْمٍ حَتَّى خَرَرْتُ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيَّ، فَارْتَفَعْتُ حِينَ ارْتَفَعْتُ كَأَنِّي نُصُبٌ أَحْمَرُ،، ، فَأَتَيْتُ زَمْزَمَ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْ مَائِهَا، وَغَسَلْتُ عَنِّي الدَّمَ، فَدَخَلْتُ بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَأَسْتَارِهَا، فَلَبِثْتُ بِهِ ابْنَ أَخِي ثَلَاثِينَ، مِنْ بَيْنِ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ، وَمَا لِي طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مَاءُ زَمْزَمَ، فَسَمِنْتُ حَتَّى تَكَسَّرَتْ عُكَنُ بَطْنِي، وَمَا وَجَدْتُ عَلَى كَبِدِي سَخْفَةَ جُوعٍ. قَالَ: فَبَيْنَا أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ قَمْرَاءَ إِضْحِيَانٍ، وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: إِصْحِيَانٍ، وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ: إِضْحِيَانٍ، وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ، فَضَرَبَ اللهُ عَلَى أَصْمِخَةِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَمَا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ غَيْرُ امْرَأَتَيْنِ، فَأَتَتَا عَلَيَّ وَهُمَا تَدْعُوَانِ إِسَافَ وَنَائِلَ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: أَنْكِحُوا أَحَدَهُمَا الْآخَرَ. فَمَا ثَنَاهُمَا (١) ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَأَتَتَا عَلَيَّ، فَقُلْتُ: وَهَنٌ مِثْلُ الْخَشَبَةِ. غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَمْ أُكَنِّ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَتَا تُوَلْوِلَانِ، وَتَقُولَانِ: لَوْ كَانَ هَاهُنَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَنْفَارِنَا قَالَ: فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا هَابِطَانِ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، فَقَالَ: "مَا لَكُمَا " فَقَالَتَا: الصَّابِئُ بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَأَسْتَارِهَا. قَالَا: "مَا قَالَ لَكُمَا؟ " قَالَتَا: قَالَ لَنَا كَلِمَةً تَمْلَأُ الْفَمَ. قَالَ: فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ وَصَاحِبُهُ حَتَّى اسْتَلَمَ الْحَجَرَ، فَطَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَكُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ حَيَّاهُ بِتَحِيَّةِ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَقَالَ: "عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ، مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مِنْ غِفَارٍ. قَالَ: فَأَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ، فَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: كَرِهَ أَنِّي انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى غِفَارٍ. قَالَ: فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ آخُذَ بِيَدِهِ، فَقَذَفَنِي صَاحِبُهُ، وَكَانَ أَعْلَمَ بِهِ مِنِّي قَالَ: "مَتَى كُنْتَ هَاهُنَا "، ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ هَاهُنَا مُنْذُ ثَلَاثِينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ لَيْلَةٍ وَيَوْمٍ. قَالَ: "فَمَنْ كَانَ يُطْعِمُكَ؟ " قُلْتُ: مَا كَانَ لِي طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مَاءُ زَمْزَمَ. قَالَ: فَسَمِنْتُ حَتَّى تَكَسَّرَتْ عُكَنُ بَطْنِي، وَمَا وَجَدْتُ عَلَى كَبِدِي سُخْفَةَ جُوعٍ. قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّهَا مُبَارَكَةٌ، وَإِنَّهَا طَعَامُ طُعْمٍ ". قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: ائْذَنْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فِي طَعَامِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ. قَالَ: فَفَعَلَ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا، حَتَّى فَتَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَابًا، فَجَعَلَ يَقْبِضُ لَنَا مِنْ زَبِيبِ الطَّائِفِ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَوَّلَ طَعَامٍ أَكَلْتُهُ بِهَا، فَلَبِثْتُ مَا لَبِثْتُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنِّي قَدْ وُجِّهَتْ إِلَيَّ أَرْضٌ ذَاتُ نَخْلٍ، وَلَا أَحْسَبُهَا إِلَّا يَثْرِبَ، فَهَلْ أَنْتَ مُبَلِّغٌ عَنِّي قَوْمَكَ لَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَهُمْ بِكَ وَيَأْجُرَكَ فِيهِمْ؟ " قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ أَخِي أُنَيْسًا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لِي: مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنِّي صَنَعْتُ أَنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ وَصَدَّقْتُ. قَالَ: قَالَ: فَمَا بِي رَغْبَةٌ عَنْ دِينِكَ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَصَدَّقْتُ. ثُمَّ أَتَيْنَا أُمَّنَا، فَقَالَتْ: فَمَا بِي رَغْبَةٌ عَنْ دِينِكُمَا، فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ وَصَدَّقْتُ فَتَحَمَّلْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا قَوْمَنَا غِفَارًا، فَأَسْلَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَقَالَ، يَعْنِي يَزِيدَ بِبَغْدَادَ: وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: إِذَا قَدِمَ، وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ: إِخْوَانُنَا، (١) نُسْلِمُ، وَكَذَا قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ، وَكَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ خُفَافُ، ، بْنُ إِيمَاءِ بْنِ رَحَضَةَ الْغِفَارِيُّ،

Narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that we left our tribe Ghifar, and they used to consider even the sacred months as permissible. So I, my brother Anis, and our mother set out and we stayed with our maternal uncles who were very wealthy and in good condition. Our uncles honored us and treated us very well, because of which their people became jealous of us and said (to our uncles), "When you leave your family, Anis commits adultery with them." Our uncles came and accused us of what had been said to them. I said, "You have spoiled the kindness and goodness you did to us because of this accusation. Now, after this, our relationship and association with you cannot continue." So we went to our camels, loaded our belongings on them, and our uncles covered themselves with a cloth and started crying, and we set out until we reached near Mecca. Then Anis brought as many more camels among our camels, and I used to pray, O nephew, even three years before meeting the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)." Abdullah bin Samit says, "I asked, 'For whose pleasure?' He said, 'For Allah's pleasure.' I asked, 'Which direction did you face?' He said, 'Wherever my Lord turned my face, I would perform the Isha prayer in that direction, until when the last part of the night came, I would lie down as if I were a sheet, until the sun rose high.' Anis said, 'I have some work in Mecca, so look after my affairs.' So Anis left until he reached Mecca, and after some time he returned. I asked, 'What did you do?' He said, 'I met a man in Mecca who is on your religion and claims that Allah has sent him (as a Messenger).' I asked, 'What do people say?' He said, 'People call him a poet, a soothsayer, and a magician.' And Anis himself was among the poets. Anis said, 'I have heard the words of soothsayers, but his speech is not like that of soothsayers. And indeed, I have compared his sayings with the poetry of poets, but no one's tongue has such poetry. By Allah! He is truthful and others are liars.' I said, 'You look after my affairs until I go and see.' So I came to Mecca and met one of their weak men and asked, 'Where is the one whom you call a Sabi?' So he pointed towards me and said, 'This is the one who has changed his religion.' As soon as the people of the valley heard this, they attacked me with stones and bones until I fell unconscious. When I regained consciousness, I was as if a red idol (covered in blood). I came to Zamzam, washed my blood, and drank its water, and O nephew! I stayed there for thirty nights and days, and I had no food except the water of Zamzam. So I became fat until even the folds of my stomach disappeared, and I did not feel any heat in my liver due to hunger. During this time, on a moonlit night, when the people of Mecca were asleep and no one was performing Tawaf of the Ka'bah except two women who were calling upon Isaf and Na'ilah (idols), when they came near me during their Tawaf, I said, 'Marry one (idol) to the other.' (Isaf was a man and Na'ilah was a woman, and according to the polytheists of Mecca, both were turned into idols while committing adultery.) But they did not desist from their words. When they came near me, I said without any hint or gesture, 'A stick in so-and-so's private part.' So they screamed and ran away quickly, wishing that someone from our people was present at that time. On the way, they met the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) descending from the mountain. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'What happened to you?' They said, 'Between the Ka'bah and its curtains, there is a man who has changed his religion.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'What did he say?' They said, 'He said something to us that fills the mouth.' Hearing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) came with his companion, touched the Black Stone, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his companion performed Tawaf, then offered prayer. Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says, 'I was the first person who greeted you (the Prophet) according to the way of Islam. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Peace be upon you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "And peace and the mercy of Allah be upon you." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Who are you?" I said, "I am from the tribe of Ghif...

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ: لَوْ أَدْرَكْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَسَأَلْتُهُ. قَالَ: وَعَمَّا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُهُ؟ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ رَأَى رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ؟ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: "نُورٌ أَنَّى أَرَاهُ " (١)،
Abdullah bin Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I said to Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "I wish I had seen the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), so that I could have asked him just one question." He (Abu Dharr) said, "What question would you have asked him?" He (Abdullah) said, "I would have asked whether you have seen your Lord?" Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I have already asked him that question, and in response he said, 'I saw a light, how could I see Him?'"

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَامِتٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَقَدْ خَرَجَ عَطَاؤُهُ، وَمَعَهُ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ، فَجَعَلَتْ تَقْضِي حَوَائِجَهُ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: تَقْضِي، (٢) قَالَ: فَفَضَلَ مَعَهُ فَضْلٌ، قَالَ: أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ: سَبْعٌ، قَالَ: فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَشْتَرِيَ بِهَا فُلُوسًا، قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، لَوِ ادَّخَرْتَهُ لِلْحَاجَةِ تَنُوبُكَ، وَلِلضَّيْفِ يَأْتِيكَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ خَلِيلِي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ " أَيُّمَا ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ أُوكِيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَهُوَ جَمْرٌ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُفْرِغَهُ إِفْرَاغًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ " (٣)، ،
Abdullah bin Samit says that once he was with Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) when his stipend arrived. He had a slave girl with him who began to arrange his necessities with that money. She had seven coins left. Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered her to exchange his money (to get change). I said to him, "If you had saved this money, it could have been useful in some need or when a guest arrived." He replied, "My beloved Prophet (ﷺ) advised me that any gold or silver that is sealed and kept is a spark of fire for its owner until he spends it in the way of Allah."

Ibn Ahmas, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I met Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, "I have heard that you narrate a hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ)?" He replied, "Do not ever think that I would falsely attribute something to the Prophet (ﷺ) while I have heard it myself. Which hadith is it that you have heard from me?" I said, "I have heard that you say there are three types of people whom Allah loves, and three types of people whom Allah dislikes?" He said, "Yes! I have said this, and I have heard it from the Prophet (ﷺ)." I asked, "Who are those whom Allah loves?" He replied, "First, the person who meets the enemy with a group and stands firm before them until he is martyred or his companions are granted victory. Second, those people who set out on a journey, their journey becomes long, and they wish to camp in a place by evening, so they camp, and one of them separates himself and starts praying until, when it is time to depart, he wakes them up. Third, the person who has a neighbor who causes him harm, but he is patient over his neighbor's harm until death separates them." I asked, "Who are those whom Allah dislikes?" He replied, "The trader who swears oaths, the miser who boasts of his favors, and the poor person who is arrogant." I asked, "O Abu Dharr! What wealth do you have?" He replied, "A few goats and some camels." I said, "I am not asking about that, I am asking about gold and silver." He replied, "What is in the morning is not there in the evening, and what is in the evening is not there in the morning." I asked, "What is your relationship with your Qurayshi brothers?" He replied, "By Allah, I neither ask them for anything of this world nor about religion, and I will continue to do so until I meet Allah and His Messenger." He repeated this sentence three times.

Zaid bin Wahb (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once we were returning from a funeral when we passed by Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah Almighty says, "O My servants! All of you are sinners except the one whom I grant well-being, so seek forgiveness from Me, I will forgive you. And whoever believes that I have the power to forgive and seeks forgiveness from Me through My power, I forgive him and do not mind. Each one of you is astray except the one whom I guide, so seek guidance from Me, I will grant you guidance. Each one of you is poor except the one whom I make rich, so seek richness from Me, I will grant you richness. If all of you, the first and the last, the living and the dead, the moist and the dry, were to become like the heart of My most wicked servant, it would not decrease My kingdom by as much as the wing of a mosquito. And if all of you, the first and the last, the living and the dead, the moist and the dry, were to gather upon the heart of My most pious servant, it would not increase My kingdom by as much as the wing of a mosquito. If all of you, the first and the last, the living and the dead, the moist and the dry, were to gather together and each one of you were to ask Me for whatever his desire reaches, and I were to give each one what he asked for, it would not diminish My treasures any more than if one of you were to pass by the seashore, dip a needle into it, and then take it out—My kingdom would not be diminished by even that much. For I am exceedingly generous, great, and independent. My giving is by a single word, and My punishment also comes by a single word. When I intend something, I say 'Be,' and it comes into existence."

Every utterance of SubhanAllah is charity, every utterance of La ilaha illallah is charity, every utterance of Allahu Akbar is charity, every utterance of Alhamdulillah is charity, enjoining good is charity, forbidding evil is charity, and having intercourse with your wife is also charity. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is there a reward for us in fulfilling our desire?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Tell me, if you were to fulfill it in a forbidden way, would there not be a sin upon you? I said, "Yes." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Then you count the sin, but do not count the good deed. And all of these are compensated by the two rak‘ahs that any one of you prays at the time of Duha.

I replied, "I will choose the way of accommodation and leave it, and go and become like a pigeon of the Haram of Makkah." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you are expelled from there as well, what will you do?" I replied, "Even then, I will choose the way of accommodation and leave it, and go to Shaam and the Holy Land." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you are expelled from Shaam as well, what will you do?" I replied, "Then, by the One Who sent you with the truth, I will place my sword on my shoulder." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Shall I not tell you a better way than this?" I replied, "Is there a way better than this?"

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) when a man came and said, "Those who lag behind in good deeds (I have) committed adultery." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) turned his face away from him. When this happened four times, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) dismounted from his ride and ordered us, so we dug a pit for him which was not very long, then he was stoned. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) departed from there in a state of grief and distress, and we set out.

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا دَرَّاجٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ، ثُمَّ اعْقِلْ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا أَقُولُ لَكَ بَعْدُ " فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ السَّابِعُ، قَالَ: "أُوصِيكَ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ فِي سِرِّ أَمْرِكَ وَعَلَانِيَتِهِ، وَإِذَا أَسَأْتَ فَأَحْسِنْ، وَلَا تَسْأَلَنَّ أَحَدًا شَيْئًا وَإِنْ سَقَطَ سَوْطُكَ، وَلَا تَقْبِضْ أَمَانَةً، وَلَا تَقْضِ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ " (١)،
It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: "There are six days, after that, O Abu Dharr! Whatever I say to you, understand it well." When the seventh day came, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I advise you, both in secret and in open, to fear Allah. Whenever you commit a sin, then after it, do a good deed. Do not ask anything from anyone, even if your whip falls down (do not ask anyone to pick it up for you). Do not take possession of a trust, and never judge between two people."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ الْأَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، (٢) عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ، قَالَ: "قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ بِأَبِي ذَرٍّ، (٣) شَبِيهًا " (٤) " آخِرُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ "، ،
