حَدِيثِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ (١)، ٢١٦٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ (٢) الدِّمَشْقِيِّ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَتْ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: " أَنَّهُ سَجَدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ سَجْدَةً، مِنْهُنَّ النَّجْمُ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that he performed eleven prostrations (sajdahs) in the Noble Qur'an with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), including the verse of prostration in Surah An-Najm.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا الْخُزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّكُمْ تُدْعَوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَسْمَائِكُمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِكُمْ، فَأَحْسِنُوا (١) أَسْمَاءَكُمْ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, you will be called by your names and the names of your fathers, so keep good names.

حَدَّثَنَا عِصَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ الْغَسَّانِيُّ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " حُبُّكَ الشَّيْءَ يُعْمِي وَيُصِمُّ " قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ، وَرَفَعَهُ الْقُرْقُسَانِيُّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Love for something makes you blind and deaf.

حَدَّثَنَا عِصَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " مِنْ فِقْهِ الرَّجُلِ رِفْقُهُ فِي مَعِيشَتِهِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: A sign of a person's wisdom is that he adopts moderation in his financial affairs.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ (٢) ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: " كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، وَإِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ، وَمَا مِنَّا صَائِمٌ، إِلَّا، ، رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), and due to the intensity of the heat, we would place our hands on our heads. On that occasion, none among us was fasting except the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and Abdullah bin Rawaha (may Allah be pleased with him).

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، أَوْ عَنْ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ مَسْجِدَ دِمَشْقَ فَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ آنِسْ وَحْشَتِي، وَارْحَمْ غُرْبَتِي، وَارْزُقْنِي جَلِيسًا صَالِحًا. فَسَمِعَهُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَقَالَ: لَئِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا، لَأَنَا أَسْعَدُ بِمَا قُلْتَ مِنْكَ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ، صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: {فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ} [فاطر: ٣٢] يَعْنِي: الظَّالِمَ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهُ فِي مَقَامِهِ ذَلِكَ، فَذَلِكَ الْهَمُّ وَالْحَزَنُ " {وَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ} [فاطر: ٣٢] قَالَ: " يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا " {وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ} [فاطر: ٣٢] قَالَ: " الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man entered the mosque of Damascus and made this supplication: O Allah! Grant me a companion in my solitude, have mercy on my estrangement, and grant me a good companion. Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) heard his supplication and said: If you are making this supplication with sincerity, then I am more fortunate than you in this supplication. I heard the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) saying in the explanation of this verse of the Holy Qur'an: "Among them are those who wrong themselves", that the reckoning of the wrongdoer will be taken at his own place and that will be his grief and sorrow. "Among them are those who are moderate", meaning some people will be of a middle rank, their reckoning will be easy. "And among them are those who are foremost in good deeds by Allah's permission", these are the people who will enter Paradise without reckoning.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَيَّانَ الدِّمَشْقِيِّ، أَخْبَرَتْنِي أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: " لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْحَارِّ الشَّدِيدِ الْحَرِّ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ، وَمَا فِي الْقَوْمِ صَائِمٌ إِلَّا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were on a journey with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in intense heat, and due to the severity of the heat, we would place our hands on our heads. On that occasion, none of us was fasting except the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and Abdullah bin Rawaha (may Allah be pleased with him).

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ الْقُرْدُوسِيُّ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ إِعْطَاءِ السُّلْطَانِ، قَالَ: " مَا آتَاكَ اللهُ مِنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ وَلَا إِشْرَافٍ، فَخُذْهُ وَتَمَوَّلْهُ " قَالَ: وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ، رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " لَا بَأْسَ بِهَا مَا لَمْ تَرْحَلْ إِلَيْهَا، أَوْ تَشَرَّفْ لَهَا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) about the ruling on accepting gifts and grants from a king. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Without asking and without desiring, whatever Allah grants you, accept it, and benefit from it."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا يَوْمًا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ، مُغْضَبًا، فَقَالَتْ: مَا لَكَ؟ فَقَالَ: " وَاللهِ مَا أَعْرِفُ فِيهِمْ شَيْئًا مِنْ أَمْرِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ جَمِيعًا (٢) " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Umm Darda (may Allah be pleased with her) that once Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her in a state of intense anger. She asked the reason, so he said: "By Allah! I do not see any of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) among the people. Now, only this much remains that they gather together and perform the prayer."

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ يَعِيشَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ (١) مَعْدَانَ، أَوْ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ: " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَاءَ فَأَفْطَرَ " قَالَ: فَلَقِيتُ ثَوْبَانَ، فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ: " أَنَا صَبَبْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَضُوءَهُ " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) vomited, due to which the Prophet (ﷺ) broke his fast. The narrator says that once I met Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) in the Prophet's Mosque, so I asked him about this as well. He said: I was pouring water for the Prophet (ﷺ) for ablution.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَحْرِيَّةَ، وحَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَحْرِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، قَالَ مَكِّيٌّ: وَأَزْكَاهَا، عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ، وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي، ، دَرَجَاتِكُمْ، وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِعْطَاءِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ، وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ، فَتَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ " قَالُوا: وَذَلِكَ مَا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " ذِكْرُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Shall I not tell you of the best deed in the sight of your Lord, which raises you to the highest ranks, which is better for you than spending gold and silver, and better than meeting your enemy in the battlefield so that you strike their necks and they strike your necks?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is that deed?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The remembrance of Allah."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى امْرَأَةً مُجِحًّا عَلَى بَابِ فُسْطَاطٍ أَوْ طَرَفِ فُسْطَاطٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَعَلَّ صَاحِبَهَا يُلِمُّ بِهَا " قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: " لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَلْعَنَهُ لَعْنَةً تَدْخُلُ مَعَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ، كَيْفَ يُوَرِّثُهُ وَهُوَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ؟ وَكَيْفَ يَسْتَخْدِمُهُ (١) وَهُوَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ؟ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) saw a woman outside a tent who was near the time of childbirth. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It seems that her master wants to go 'near' her?" The people said, "Yes!" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "My heart wishes to curse him with such a curse that will remain with him till his grave. How can he make her his heir when she is not lawful for him, and how can he take service from her when she is not lawful for him?"

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، حَدِيثًا يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ " فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَمَكِّيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ (١)،

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

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them): "Are you incapable of reciting one third of the Qur'an in a single night?" This seemed very difficult to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and they said, "Who would have the strength to do that?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Recite Surah Ikhlas, for it is equal to one third of the Qur'an."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ:، سَأَلْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنِ الضَّبُعِ، فَكَرِهَهَا، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَأْكُلُونَهُ قَالَ: لَا يَعْلَمُونَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ، عِنْدَهُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ كُلِّ ذِي نُهْبَةٍ، وَكُلِّ، ، ذِي خَطْفَةٍ، وَكُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ " قَالَ سَعِيدٌ: " صَدَقَ " (١)، ،

Abdullah bin Yazid says that I asked Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) about the lizard, and he declared it disliked. I said to him, "Your people eat it?" He replied, "Perhaps they do not know." At this, a man present there said, "I heard this hadith from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) forbade every animal obtained by looting, that which is snatched, or every predator that hunts with its canine teeth." Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) affirmed this.

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، قَالَ:، وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ الدَّرْدَاءُ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ الشَّامَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ وَوَجَدْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَقَالَتْ: تُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ الْعَامَ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَتْ: فَادْعُ لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ، فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ دَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ، عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ، كُلَّمَا دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ: آمِينَ، وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ " فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ، فَأَلْقَى أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَقَالَ لِي مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، يَأْثُرُهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. (١)،

Safwan bin Abdullah, whose wife was Darda, says: Once I came to Syria and visited Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him), but he was not at home; however, his wife was present. She asked me, "Do you intend to perform Hajj this year?" I replied in the affirmative. She said, "Pray for good for us as well, because the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) used to say that when a Muslim prays for his brother in his absence, that prayer is accepted, and an angel is appointed at his head for this purpose. Whenever he prays for good for his brother, the angel says 'Ameen' to it and says, 'May you also have the same.'" Then I went to the market and met Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. He also said the same thing to me and narrated the same hadith from the Noble Prophet (ﷺ).

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، وَيَعْلَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، فَذَكَرَهُ (٢)، ،

Yazid ibn Harun and Ya'la narrated to us, they said: 'Abd al-Malik narrated to us from Abu al-Zubayr from Safwan. Yazid ibn 'Abd Allah said: and he mentioned it.

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: نَزَلَ بِأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: مُقِيمٌ فَنَسْرَحَ، أَمْ ظَاعِنٌ فَنَعْلِفَ؟ قَالَ: بَلْ ظَاعِنٌ. قَالَ: فَإِنِّي سَأُزَوِّدُكَ زَادًا لَوْ أَجِدُ مَا هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ لَزَوَّدْتُكَ، أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ذَهَبَ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ بِالدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، نُصَلِّي وَيُصَلُّونَ، وَنَصُومُ وَيَصُومُونَ، وَيَتَصَدَّقُونَ وَلَا نَتَصَدَّقُ قَالَ: " أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِنْ أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَهُ، لَمْ يَسْبِقْكَ أَحَدٌ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ، وَلَمْ يُدْرِكْكَ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَكَ، إِلَّا مَنْ فَعَلَ الَّذِي تَفْعَلُ: دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ تَسْبِيحَةً، وَثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ تَحْمِيدَةً، وَأَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to him. He asked, "Are you a resident so that we may treat you well, or are you a traveler so that we may provide you provisions for the journey?" He replied, "I am a traveler." He said, "I will give you such a provision for the journey that if I had found anything better than it, I would have given you that. Once I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'O Messenger of Allah! The wealthy have taken both this world and the Hereafter. We also pray and so do they; we also fast and so do they. However, they give charity and we cannot give charity.' The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Shall I not tell you something that if you act upon it, no one before you will surpass you, and no one after you will catch up with you, except someone who does the same as you?

Ma'dan bin Abi Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that once Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) asked me, "Where do you reside?" I replied, "In a village behind Hims." He said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: 'In any village where there are three men and neither the call to prayer nor the establishment of prayer is observed, Satan overcomes them. Therefore, adhere to the congregation of Muslims, for the wolf devours the solitary sheep.'"

Qais bin Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man from Madinah Munawwarah came to Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) in Damascus. He asked the visitor, "Brother! What brings you here?" He replied, "To learn a hadith about which I have come to know that you narrate it from the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)." He asked, "Have you not come for any trade?" He said, "No." He asked, "For any other work?" He said, "No." He asked, "Have you come only to seek this hadith?" He said, "Yes." He said, "I heard the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) say: Whoever sets out on a path to seek knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him, and the angels spread their wings in pleasure for the seeker of knowledge, and all the creatures in the heavens and the earth pray for forgiveness for the scholar. The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like the superiority of the moon over the rest of the stars. Indeed, the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets do not leave behind dinars or dirhams as inheritance, but they leave behind knowledge. So whoever acquires it, has acquired a great share."

A man was ordered by his mother or father or both to divorce his wife (he refused and) said that if he divorced his wife, it would be obligatory upon him to free one hundred slaves.

He replied, "Fulfill your vow (free one hundred slaves) and obey your parents, because I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: 'The father is the middle gate of Paradise; now it is up to you whether you protect it or leave it.'"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا حَبِيبَةَ، قَالَ: أَوْصَى رَجُلٌ بِدَنَانِيرَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَسُئِلَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَحَدَّثَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُعْتِقُ، أَوْ يَتَصَدَّقُ، عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ، مَثَلُ الَّذِي يُهْدِي بَعْدَمَا يَشْبَعُ " قَالَ أَبُو حَبِيبَةَ: " فَأَصَابَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ " (١)، ،

Abu Habibah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man, at the time of his death, made a bequest to spend some of his wealth in the way of Allah.

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! Is there recitation in every prayer?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes!" Then an Ansari said, "So it has become obligatory."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، (٣) حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ (٤) ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ خُلَيْدٍ، ، الْعَصَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا طَلَعَتْ شَمْسٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا بُعِثَ بِجَنْبَتَيْهَا مَلَكَانِ يُنَادِيَانِ، يُسْمِعَانِ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا الثَّقَلَيْنِ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَلُمُّوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ فَإِنَّ مَا قَلَّ وَكَفَى خَيْرٌ مِمَّا كَثُرَ وَأَلْهَى، وَلَا آبَتْ شَمْسٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا بُعِثَ بِجَنْبَتَيْهَا مَلَكَانِ يُنَادِيَانِ يُسْمِعَانِ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا الثَّقَلَيْنِ: اللهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُنْفِقًا خَلَفًا، وَأَعْطِ مُمْسِكًا مَالًا تَلَفًا " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whenever the sun rises, two angels are sent on its both sides who proclaim, "And all the inhabitants of the earth hear this proclamation except jinn and humans," saying: O people! Come towards your Lord, for a little that suffices is better than much that distracts. Similarly, whenever the sun sets, two angels are sent on its both sides who proclaim, and all the inhabitants of the earth hear this proclamation except jinn and humans, saying: O Allah! Grant a substitute to the one who spends, and O Allah! Destroy the wealth of the one who withholds.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ (١) ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَلْبَسٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ فَرَغَ إِلَى كُلِّ عَبْدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ مِنْ خَمْسٍ: مِنْ أَجَلِهِ وَعَمَلِهِ وَمَضْجَعِهِ وَأَثَرِهِ وَرِزْقِهِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) saying: Allah Almighty has written five things in the creation of every servant: his age, his deeds, his effects, his sustenance, and whether he will be wretched or blessed.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ غَنْمٍ، أَنَّهُ زَارَ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ بِحِمْصَ، فَمَكَثَ عِنْدَهُ لَيَالِيَ، فَأَمَرَ بِحِمَارِهِ فَأُوكِفَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: مَا أَرَانِي إِلَّا مُتَّبِعَكَ. فَأَمَرَ بِحِمَارِهِ، فَأُسْرِجَ، فَسَارَا جَمِيعًا عَلَى حِمَارَيْهِمَا، فَلَقِيَا رَجُلًا شَهِدَ الْجُمُعَةَ بِالْأَمْسِ عِنْدَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالْجَابِيَةِ، فَعَرَفَهُمَا الرَّجُلُ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفَاهُ، فَأَخْبَرَهُمَا خَبَرَ النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ قَالَ: وَخَبَرٌ آخَرُ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُخْبِرَكُمَا، أُرَاكُمَا تَكْرَهَانِهِ. فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: فَلَعَلَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ نُفِيَ. قَالَ: نَعَمْ وَاللهِ. فَاسْتَرْجَعَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ وَصَاحِبُهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ عَشْرِ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: ارْتَقِبْهُمْ وَاصْطَبِرْ، كَمَا قِيلَ لِأَصْحَابِ النَّاقَةِ، اللهُمَّ إِنْ كَذَّبُوا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، فَإِنِّي لَا أُكَذِّبُهُ اللهُمَّ وَإِنْ اتَّهَمُوهُ، فَإِنِّي لَا أَتَّهِمُهُ، اللهُمَّ وَإِنْ اسْتَغَشُّوهُ، فَإِنِّي لَا أَسْتَغِشُّهُ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَأْتَمِنُهُ حِينَ لَا يَأْتَمِنُ أَحَدًا، وَيُسِرُّ إِلَيْهِ حِينَ لَا يُسِرُّ إِلَى أَحَدٍ، أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَطَعَ يَمِينِي مَا، ، أَبْغَضْتُهُ بَعْدَ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا أَظَلَّتِ الْخَضْرَاءُ وَلَا أَقَلَّتْ الْغَبْرَاءُ مِنْ ذِي لَهْجَةٍ أَصْدَقَ مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ " (١)،

Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once he went to "Hims" to meet Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) and stayed with him for a few days. Then, upon his order, a saddle was placed on his donkey. Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I will go with you as well." So, upon his order, a saddle was also placed on his donkey, and both of them mounted their respective rides and set off. On the way, they met a man who had performed the Friday prayer the previous day with Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) at Jabiyah. He recognized both of them, but they did not recognize him. He told them about the conditions of the people there, then said, "There is one more piece of news, but I do not feel good about telling you because I think it will burden you." Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Perhaps Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) has been exiled?" He said, "Yes! That is the news." Upon this, Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companion recited "Inna lillah" about ten times. Then Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You should wait and be patient just as it was said to the people of the she-camel (the people of Thamud). O Allah! If these people are denying Abu Dharr, then I am not among those who deny Abu Dharr. O Allah! If they are accusing him, then I do not accuse him. O Allah! If they are overpowering him, then I am not doing so, because the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) used to consider him trustworthy at a time when he did not consider anyone else trustworthy. At that time, he would go to him himself when he would not go to anyone else. By the One in whose hand is the life of Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him), even if Abu Dharr were to cut off my right hand, I would never bear any malice towards him, because I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: 'Under the shade of the sky and upon the face of the earth, there is no man more truthful than Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him).'"

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جُبَيْرَ بْنَ نُفَيْرٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " فُسْطَاطُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَ الْمَلْحَمَةِ الْغُوطَةُ، إِلَى جَانِبِ مَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا: دِمَشْقُ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the occasion of battle in the city of Ghouta, the camp (center) of the Muslims will be beside a city called "Damascus."

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي بِنْتُ عَمِّي وَأَنَا أُحِبُّهَا، وَإِنَّ وَالِدَتِي تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أُطَلِّقَهَا، فَقَالَ: لَا آمُرُكَ أَنْ تُطَلِّقَهَا، وَلَا آمُرُكَ أَنْ تَعْصِيَ وَالِدَتَكَ، وَلَكِنْ أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ الْوَالِدَةَ أَوْسَطُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ " فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَمْسِكْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَدَعْ (١)،

Abu Abdur Rahman Salmi says that a man came to Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "My wife is my paternal uncle's daughter. I love her very much, but my mother orders me to divorce her." He replied, "I command you to divorce your wife and not to disobey your mother. However, I will tell you a hadith which I heard from the Noble Prophet (ﷺ): 'The mother is the middle gate of Paradise; now if you wish, keep to it, or if you wish, leave it.'"

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَزْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ} [فاطر: ٣٢] فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُوا بِالْخَيْرَاتِ (٢) ، فَأُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ اقْتَصَدُوا، فَأُولَئِكَ يُحَاسَبُونَ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ، فَأُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ، ، يُحَاسَبُونَ فِي طُولِ الْمَحْشَرِ، ثُمَّ هُمُ الَّذِينَ تَلَافَاهُمُ اللهُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ، فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ: {الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ} [فاطر: ٣٤] ، إِلَى قَوْلِهِ، {لُغُوبٌ} [فاطر: ٣٥] " (١)،

It is narrated from Thabit or Abu Thabit that a man entered the mosque of Damascus and made this supplication: O Allah! Grant me a companion in my solitude, have mercy on my estrangement, and grant me a good friend. Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) heard his supplication and said: If you are making this supplication sincerely, then I am more fortunate than you in this supplication. I heard the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) saying in the explanation of this verse of the Holy Qur'an: "Among them are those who wrong themselves" that the reckoning of the wrongdoer will be taken at his own place, and that will be his grief and sorrow. "Among them are those who are moderate" meaning some people will be of a middle rank, their reckoning will be easy. "And among them are those who are foremost in good deeds by Allah's permission" these are the people who will enter Paradise without reckoning.

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقَالَ: بِالصِّحَّةِ لَا بِالْمَرَضِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ الصُّدَاعَ وَالْمَلِيلَةَ لَا تَزَالُ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ وَإِنَّ ذَنْبَهُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ، فَمَا يَدَعُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ " (٢)، ،

Anas Jahni (may Allah be pleased with him) once came to Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) and prayed for him, saying, "May Allah keep you safe from every illness and grant you health." Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say that a Muslim person continues to suffer from headaches and other illnesses, and his sins are as great as the mountain of Uhud, but these illnesses do not leave him until there is not even a mustard seed's weight of sin left upon him."

حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَرْبِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، ثُمَّ لَبِسَ ثِيَابَهُ، وَمَسَّ طِيبًا إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ، ثُمَّ مَشَى إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ، وَلَمْ يَتَخَطَّ أَحَدًا، وَلَمْ يُؤْذِهِ، وَرَكَعَ مَا قُضِيَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ انْتَظَرَ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ الْإِمَامُ، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَتَيْنِ

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever performs ghusl or attains purity and does it well, wears fine clothes, applies perfume or oil, then comes for Jumu'ah, does not engage in idle talk, does not push between two people, all his sins will be forgiven until the next Jumu'ah.

حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَرْبِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ،، ، فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ، وَتَلَا آيَةً وَإِلَى جَنْبِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أُبَيُّ، مَتَى أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ؟ قَالَ: فَأَبَى أَنْ يُكَلِّمَنِي، ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُكَلِّمَنِي، حَتَّى نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لِي أُبَيٌّ: مَا لَكَ مِنْ جُمُعَتِكَ إِلَّا مَا لَغَيْتَ. فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جِئْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَيْ رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّكَ تَلَوْتَ آيَةً وَإِلَى جَنْبِي أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ مَتَى أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ؟ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُكَلِّمَنِي حَتَّى إِذَا نَزَلْتَ زَعَمَ أُبَيٌّ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي مِنْ جُمُعَتِي إِلَّا مَا لَغَيْتُ؟ فَقَالَ: " صَدَقَ أُبَيٌّ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتَ إِمَامَكَ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَأَنْصِتْ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that once on a Friday, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) recited Surah Bara'ah from the pulpit. At that time, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was standing and mentioning the favors of Allah. Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting in front of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), and with him were Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) also sitting. One of them pinched Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Ubayy! When was this Surah revealed? I am hearing it just now." Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) signaled him to remain silent. After the prayer was over, he said, "I asked you when this Surah was revealed, so why did you not tell me?" Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "Today your prayer is only as much as the vain act you did in it." He went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned what Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) had said. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ubayy has spoken the truth. When you see the Imam speaking, remain silent until he finishes."

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " أَبْغُونِي ضُعَفَاءَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا تُرْزَقُونَ وَتُنْصَرُونَ بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: "Seek out your weak ones and bring them to me, for you are granted provision and victory through the blessings of your weak ones."

حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ يُكَنَّى أَبَا عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، تَقُولُ: كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ، إِذَا حَدَّثَ حَدِيثًا تَبَسَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ إِنَّكَ، أَيْ: أَحْمَقُ،؟ فَقَالَ: " مَا رَأَيْتُ، أَوْ مَا سَمِعْتُ، رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَدِّثُ حَدِيثًا إِلَّا تَبَسَّمَ " (١)، ،

Umm Darda (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that whenever Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) would relate a hadith, he would smile. I once said to him that people might start calling you "foolish." He replied that whenever I have seen or heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) narrate a hadith, he was smiling.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي بُسْرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ عَمُودَ الْكِتَابِ احْتُمِلَ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِي، فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ مَذْهُوبٌ بِهِ، فَأَتْبَعْتُهُ بَصَرِي، فَعُمِدَ بِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِ، أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ حِينَ تَقَعُ الْفِتَنُ بِالشَّامِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Once I was sleeping when, in a dream, I saw the pillars of the Book being lifted from beneath my head. I understood that it was being taken away, so my eyes kept following it until it was taken to Syria. Remember! At the time when tribulations appear, faith will be in Syria.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ عُمَيْرِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَذْرَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَجِلُّوا اللهَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ " قَالَ ابْنُ ثَوْبَانَ: " يَعْنِي: أَسْلِمُوا " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Accept Islam, Allah will forgive your sins.

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَتْ: كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ، لَا يُحَدِّثُ بِحَدِيثٍ إِلَّا تَبَسَّمَ فِيهِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يُحَمِّقَكَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا، ، يُحَدِّثُ بِحَدِيثٍ إِلَّا تَبَسَّمَ " (١)،

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَبَّانُ (٢) ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ: أَنَّهُ أَتَاهُ عَائِدًا، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لِأَبِي بَعْدَ أَنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ: بِالصِّحَّةِ لَا بِالْوَجَعِ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَا يَزَالُ الْمَرْءُ الْمُسْلِمُ بِهِ الْمَلِيلَةُ وَالصُّدَاعُ، وَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا لَأَعْظَمَ مِنْ أُحُدٍ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهُ، وَمَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ " (٣)،

Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say that a Muslim person continues to suffer from headaches and other illnesses, and his sins are as great as the mountain of Uhud, but these illnesses do not leave him until there is not even a mustard seed's weight of sin left upon him."

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ بِالسُّجُودِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَأَنْظُرَ إِلَى بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ، فَأَعْرِفَ أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأُمَمِ، وَمِنْ خَلْفِي مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ، وَعَنْ شِمَالِي مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ " فَقَالَ، ، رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ أُمَّتَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأُمَمِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ نُوحٍ إِلَى أُمَّتِكَ؟ قَالَ: " هُمْ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلُونَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ، لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ كَذَلِكَ غَيْرَهُمْ، وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يُؤْتَوْنَ كُتُبَهُمْ بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ، وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, the first person to be granted permission to prostrate will be me, and I will be the first to be allowed to raise my head. Thus, when I look before me, I will recognize my Ummah among the other communities, and likewise, I will recognize my Ummah from behind and from the right and left as well. A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! From Nuh (peace be upon him) until you, how will you recognize your Ummah among all the communities that have come?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) replied: The foreheads of the people of my Ummah will be radiant and shining due to the traces of ablution; this quality will not be found in anyone else. And I will also recognize them in that their books of deeds will be in their right hands, and that their minor children will be running ahead of them.

حَدَّثَنَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، شَكَّ فِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَوْ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَ يَحْيَى، فَيَقُولُ: " فَأَعْرِفُهُمْ أَنَّ نُورَهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ، وَبِأَيْمَانِهِمْ " (١)،

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

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْمَرُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَأَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ فِي السُّجُودِ " فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ (٢)،

Ya‘mar narrated to us, ‘Abdullah informed us, Ibn Lahi‘ah informed us, Yazid ibn Abi Habib narrated to me, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr ibn Nufayr, that he heard Abu Dharr and Abu al-Darda’, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I am the first to be permitted to prostrate." Then he mentioned its meaning.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأُمَمِ " قَالُوا: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ أُمَّتَكَ؟ قَالَ: " أَعْرِفُهُمْ يُؤْتَوْنَ كُتُبَهُمْ بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ، وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ بِسِيمَاهُمْ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ مِنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ، وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ بِنُورِهِمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, I will recognize my Ummah among the other communities. The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! From Nuh (peace be upon him) until you, how will you recognize your Ummah among all the communities that have come?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The foreheads of the people of my Ummah will be radiant and shining due to the effects of ablution; this quality will not be found in anyone else. And I will also recognize them in that their books of deeds will be in their right hands, and their light will be running ahead of them.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ الْغَسَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ حَكِيمُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، وحَبِيبُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، (١) عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا يَدَعُ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ لِلَّهِ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ، حِينَ يُصْبِحُ يَقُولُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ، فَإِنَّهُ أَلْفُ حَسَنَةٍ، فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَعْمَلَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي يَوْمٍ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ، وَيَكُونُ مَا عَمِلَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ سِوَى ذَلِكَ وَافِرًا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: None of you should neglect to earn a thousand good deeds every morning for the sake of Allah’s pleasure; he should say "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi" one hundred times. Its reward is equal to a thousand good deeds, and, Insha’Allah, that person will not be able to commit that many sins in that day, and in addition, whatever good deeds he does will be even more than that.
