Hadith of Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ (١)، ٢١٩٨٦ - فِي سَنَةِ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ، ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ: أَنَّهُ لَمَّا رَجَعَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، رَأَيْتُ رِجَالًا بِالْيَمَنِ يَسْجُدُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ (١) ، أَفَلَا نَسْجُدُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ: " لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا بَشَرًا يَسْجُدُ لِبَشَرٍ، لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Muadh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that after returning from Yemen, he submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! I saw the Christians prostrating before their priests and religious leaders. It occurred to my heart that you are more deserving of such reverence, so should we not prostrate to you?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If I were to command anyone to prostrate before another, I would have commanded a woman to prostrate before her husband."

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was riding behind the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) on a donkey. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) called me by name and said, "O Mu'adh! Do you know what right Allah has over His servants?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Allah's right over His servants is) that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do that?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Their right is that Allah will not punish them."

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Six things are among the signs of the Hour: my death, the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis, the spread of a plague of death like it spreads among sheep, a trial whose war will enter every Muslim household, and that even if a person is given a thousand, he will remain displeased, and the Romans will deceive the Muslims and advance towards them under eighty banners, under each banner there will be twelve thousand soldiers.

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): Once we went to Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him, "Tell us some amazing incident of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)." He said, "Alright. Once I was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on a donkey. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called me by name and said, 'O Mu'adh!' I replied, 'At your service, O Messenger of Allah!'

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, '(Allah's right over His servants is) that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do that?' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'Their right is that Allah will not punish them.'"

I asked him, "Did you really hear this hadith from Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him?" People began to reproach me for this, but he said, "Do not reproach or scold him, leave him alone.

They told me that he is Abdur Rahman bin Samurah.

Abu Idris says that once I attended a gathering in which twenty companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were present. Among them was a young and youthful companion whose complexion was radiant, with large black eyes and shining teeth. Whenever there was any disagreement among the people and he spoke, they would accept his word as final. Later, I found out that he was Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). The next day, I came again and found him praying behind a pillar. He shortened his prayer, sat cross-legged, and remained silent. I approached and said, "By Allah! I love you for the sake of Allah's majesty." He made me swear and asked, "Really?" I also swore and replied. He then said, "Those who love each other for Allah's sake will be under the shade of Allah's Throne on the Day when there will be no shade except His. (After this, there is no doubt in the rest of the hadith.) For them, chairs of light will be set up, and due to their nearness to the Lord of the worlds, even the Prophets (peace be upon them), the truthful, and the martyrs will envy them." Later, I narrated this hadith to Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said, "I will narrate to you only that hadith which I myself heard from the tongue of the Prophet, and it is this: 'My love is assured for those who love each other for My sake; My love is assured for those who meet each other for My sake; My love is assured for those who spend on each other for My sake; and My love is assured for those who join with each other for My sake.'"

He replied, "I will decide it in the light of the Book of Allah." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "If you do not find it in the Book of Allah, then what will you do?" He replied, "Then I will decide in the light of the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ)." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "If you do not find its ruling in my Sunnah either, then what will you do?" He replied, "Then I will exercise ijtihad with my own opinion and I will not fall short in it in any way." Upon this, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) struck his blessed hand on my chest and said, "All praise is due to Allah who has guided the messenger of His Messenger to that which pleases His Messenger."

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that (if the number of cows is less than thirty, I will not take their zakat until I present myself before the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, because) the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not give me any instruction regarding cows being less than thirty.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ يُخَامِرَ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ، حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ، وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ، وَمَنْ سَأَلَ اللهَ الْقَتْلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَفْسِهِ صَادِقًا ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ فَلَهُ أَجْرُ شَهِيدٍ، وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ نُكِبَ نَكْبَةً، فَإِنَّهَا تَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَغَرِّ (١) مَا كَانَتْ، لَوْنُهَا كَالزَّعْفَرَانِ وَرِيحُهَا كَالْمِسْكِ، وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَعَلَيْهِ طَابَعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ " قَالَ أَبِي: وقَالَ حَجَّاجٌ، وَرَوْحٌ: كَأَعَزِّ.

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: Whoever among the Muslims fights in the way of Allah even for the time it takes for milk to flow from a she-camel’s udder, Paradise becomes obligatory for him. And whoever sincerely asks Allah for martyrdom, and then dies a natural death, he will receive the reward of a martyr. And whoever is wounded or suffers any harm in the way of Allah, he will come on the Day of Resurrection with that wound flowing even more, but its color will be like saffron and its fragrance like musk. And whoever is wounded in the way of Allah, the seal of the martyrs is placed upon him.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ، بِالْيَمَنِ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عِنْدَهُ،، ، قَالَ: مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ: رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا، فَأَسْلَمَ، ثُمَّ تَهَوَّدَ، وَنَحْنُ نُرِيدُهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ مُنْذُ، قَالَ: أَحْسَبُهُ، شَهْرَيْنِ. فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ لَا أَقْعُدُ حَتَّى تَضْرِبُوا عُنُقَهُ. فَضُرِبَتْ عُنُقُهُ، فَقَالَ: قَضَى اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ: " أَنَّ مَنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دَيْنِهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ " أَوْ قَالَ: " مَنْ بَدَّلَ دَيْنَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived in Yemen to Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). There he saw a man tied with ropes, so Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "What is the matter with him?" They replied, "He was a Jew who accepted Islam, but later returned to his disliked religion and became a Jew again. We have been trying to bring him back to Islam for about two months." Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I will not sit down until you kill him." So I killed him. Then he said, "The decision of Allah and His Messenger is that whoever turns back from his religion, kill him."

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey. During the journey, one day I had the privilege of being close to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Tell me of an action that will admit me to Paradise and keep me away from Hell." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have asked about a great matter, but it is easy for the one for whom Allah makes it easy: Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish prayer, pay zakat, fast in the month of Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House of Allah." Then he said, "Shall I not tell you the doors of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sins, and a man's prayer in the middle of the night is among the doors of goodness." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) recited this verse from Surah Sajda: 'Their sides forsake their beds...' until he reached 'they do.' Then he said, "Shall I not tell you about the foundation of the religion, its pillar, and its highest peak?" I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Certainly." He said, "The foundation of this religion is Islam, its pillar is prayer, and its highest peak is jihad." Then he said, "Shall I not tell you the summary of all these things?" I submitted, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah!" So the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) held his tongue and said, "Restrain this." I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Will we be held accountable for what we say?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) (gently admonishing) said, "Mu'adh! May your mother lose you! Is there anything that topples people on their faces into Hell except the harvest of their tongues regarding others?"

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a man who was supplicating, "O Allah! I ask You for patience." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You are asking Allah for calamity; rather, ask Allah for well-being." (Then he passed by another man who was supplicating by saying, "Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram," and he said to him, "Your supplication will be accepted, so ask.") He passed by another man who was supplicating, "O Allah! I ask You for all blessings." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O son of Adam! Do you know what is meant by 'all blessings'?" He replied, "I hope for the good of the supplication I made." The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All blessings mean that a person is saved from Hell and admitted into Paradise."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، وَابْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّ طَاوُسًا، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: لَسْتُ آخُذُ فِي أَوْقَاصِ الْبَقَرِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى آتِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَأْمُرْنِي فِيهَا بِشَيْءٍ " قَالَ ابْنُ بَكْرٍ: لَسْتُ بِآخِذٍ فِي الْأَوْقَاصِ (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that (if the cows are less than thirty in number, I will not take their zakat until I present myself before the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, because) the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not give me any instruction regarding cows being less than thirty.

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، أُتِيَ مُعَاذٌ، بِوَقَصِ الْبَقَرِ وَالْعَسَلِ، فَقَالَ: " لَمْ يَأْمُرْنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِمَا بِشَيْءٍ " قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: " الْأَوْقَاصُ: مَا دُونَ الثَّلَاثِينَ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Muadh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that less than thirty cows and some honey were brought to him. He said: The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) did not give me any command regarding having less than thirty cows.

Amr bin Maymoon Awdi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when the messenger of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), came to us in Yemen, it was the time of suhoor (pre-dawn meal). He was proclaiming the takbeer in a loud and awe-inspiring voice. Love for him became deeply rooted in my heart, so I did not separate from him until, after his death in Shaam (Syria), I had thrown earth upon his grave. May Allah’s mercy descend upon him. Then, after him, I looked for the most knowledgeable person and presented myself to Abdullah bin Mas’ood (may Allah be pleased with him). He said to me, “What will you do when such rulers come over you who delay the prayer from its proper time?” I said, “If I reach that time, what do you command me to do?” He said, “Perform your prayer at its appointed time, and join the rulers in prayer with the intention of nafl (supererogatory) prayer.”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللهِ مِنْ طَمَعٍ يَهْدِي إِلَى طَبْعٍ، وَمِنْ طَمَعٍ يَهْدِي إِلَى غَيْرِ مَطْمَعٍ، وَمِنْ طَمَعٍ حَيْثُ لَا طَمَعَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) once said to us: Seek refuge with Allah from that greed which reaches the state of sealing the hearts; also seek refuge from that greed which leads to something purposeless; and seek refuge with Allah from such greed where there is no greed at all.

حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: {تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ، ، عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ} [السجدة: ١٦] قَالَ: " قِيَامُ الْعَبْدِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The meaning of 'their sides forsake their beds' is that a person gets up at night for Tahajjud."

حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَوْبَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " عُمْرَانُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ خَرَابُ يَثْرِبَ، وَخَرَابُ يَثْرِبَ خُرُوجُ الْمَلْحَمَةِ، وَخُرُوجُ الْمَلْحَمَةِ فَتْحُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ، وَفَتْحُ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ خُرُوجُ الدَّجَّالِ " ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ أَوْ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ هَذَا لَحَقٌّ كَمَا أَنَّكَ قَاعِدٌ " وَكَانَ مَكْحُولٌ، يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ يَخَامِرَ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مِثْلَهُ (٢)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The flourishing of Bayt al-Maqdis is a sign of the desolation of Madinah Munawwarah, and the desolation of Madinah Munawwarah is a sign of the beginning of wars, and the beginning of wars is a sign of the conquest of Constantinople, and the conquest of Constantinople will be a prelude to the emergence of Dajjal. Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) struck his thigh or shoulder and said: All these things are as true and certain as your sitting here is certain.

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، فِي تَفْسِيرِ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَ شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ،، ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يُبْعَثُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ جُرْدًا مُرْدًا مُكَحَّلِينَ بَنِي ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would camp at any place, his Muhajir Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would be close to him. Once, we camped at a place and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stood up for prayer at night while we were sleeping around. Suddenly, Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and I woke up at night and did not find the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) in his sleeping place. We set out in search of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), and we heard a sound like that produced by a millstone, and we stopped in our tracks. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was coming from the direction of that sound. When he came near, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What happened to you?" We replied, "When we woke up and did not find you in your place, we feared that some harm might have come to you, so we set out to search for you." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A messenger from my Lord came to me and gave me the choice between two things: that half of my Ummah would enter Paradise, or that I would be granted the right of intercession. So I preferred the aspect of intercession." Both of us said, "O Messenger of Allah! We ask you, by Islam and the right of your companionship, to pray to Allah that He includes us in your intercession." Other people also arrived and began to make the same request, and their number increased. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Every person who dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah will be included in my intercession."

Rawh narrated to us, Hammad—meaning Ibn Salamah—narrated to us, Asim ibn Bahdalah narrated from Abu Burdah from Abu Musa that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to be guarded by his companions, and he mentioned something similar to it.

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي النَّوْمِ كَأَنِّي مُسْتَيْقِظٌ أَرَى رَجُلًا نَزَلَ (٢) مِنَ السَّمَاءِ عَلَيْهِ بُرْدَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ، نَزَلَ عَلَى جِذْمِ حَائِطٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَأَذَّنَ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ، ثُمَّ أَقَامَ، فَقَالَ: مَثْنَى مَثْنَى. قَالَ: " نِعْمَ مَا رَأَيْتَ، عَلِّمْهَا بِلَالًا " قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: " قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهُ سَبَقَنِي " (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I saw a dream last night which I remember as clearly as if it happened while I was awake. I saw a man who descended from the sky, wearing two green sheets. He landed on a tree in a garden of Madinah Munawwarah and repeated the words of the adhan twice each. Then he sat down, and after a while, he gave the iqamah, and in that too, he repeated the words twice each." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have seen a very good dream. Teach these words to Bilal." Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I also saw a similar dream, but he preceded me."

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) saying: Whoever meets Allah in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Him, performs the five daily prayers, and fasts in the month of Ramadan, his sins will be forgiven. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I not give this glad tidings to the people?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, let them continue to act (do good deeds)."

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Just as there is a wolf for sheep, similarly, for humans, Satan is a wolf who seizes the sheep that remains alone and separated from the flock. Therefore, protect yourselves from living alone in the valleys, and make it obligatory upon yourselves to stay with the congregation of Muslims, the public, and the mosque.

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، وَإِسْحَاقُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِيسَى، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ دِمَشْقِ بالشَّامِ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِفَتًى بَرَّاقِ الثَّنَايَا، وَإِذَا النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ أَسْنَدُوهُ إِلَيْهِ، وَصَدَرُوا عَنْ رَأْيِهِ، فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ: هَذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ هَجَّرْتُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي بِالْهَجِيرِ، وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: بِالتَّهْجِيرِ، وَوَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي، فَانْتَظَرْتُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ جِئْتُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ فَقَالَ: أَللَّهِ؟ فَقُلْتُ: أَللَّهِ. فَقَالَ: أَللَّهِ؟ فَقُلْتُ: أَللَّهِ. فَأَخَذَ بِحُبْوَةِ رِدَائِي فَجَبَذَنِي إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ: أَبْشِرْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: " وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ وَالْمُتَجَالِسِينَ، ، فِيَّ وَالْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ وَالْمُتَبَاذِلِينَ فِيَّ " (١)،

Abu Idris says that once I entered the central mosque of Damascus, where there was a young and youthful companion. His complexion was radiant, his eyes were large and black, and his teeth were shining. Whenever there was a disagreement among the people and he spoke, they would accept his word as final. Later, I found out that he was Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). The next day, I came again and found him praying behind a pillar. He shortened his prayer, sat down quietly, and tucked up his knees. I went forward and said, "By Allah! I love you for the sake of Allah's majesty." He asked me by oath, "Really?" I also swore and replied. He took hold of the edge of my cloak, pulled me towards himself, and said, "Rejoice! For I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say that Allah Almighty says: 'My love is assured for those who love each other for My sake, who sit together for My sake, who meet each other for My sake, and who spend on each other for My sake.'"

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ الْأَسْوَدُ (٢) ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْمُتَحَابُّونَ فِي اللهِ فِي ظِلِّ الْعَرْشِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Muadh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Those who love each other for the sake of Allah will be under the shade of Allah's Throne on the Day of Judgment.

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ النَّزَّالِ أَوِ النَّزَّالَ بْنَ عُرْوَةَ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: شُعْبَةُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: سَمِعَهُ مِنْ مُعَاذٍ؟ قَالَ: لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهُ. أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ (١) قَالَ الْحَكَمُ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ (٢)، ،

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

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُصَيْنُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّاسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سُبِقَ الرَّجُلُ بِبَعْضِ صَلَاتِهِ سَأَلَهُمْ فَأَوْمَئُوا إِلَيْهِ بِالَّذِي سُبِقَ بِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَيَبْدَأُ فَيَقْضِي مَا سُبِقَ، ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ،، ، فَجَاءَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَالْقَوْمُ قُعُودٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ فَقَعَدَ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ فَقَضَى مَا كَانَ سُبِقَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اصْنَعُوا كَمَا صَنَعَ مُعَاذٌ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the early blessed period of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), it was customary that if a person missed some rak'ahs, he would ask the worshippers, and they would indicate to him by gesture how many rak'ahs he had missed. Accordingly, he would first perform the rak'ahs he had missed and then join the congregation in prayer. One day, Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) came late to the prayer; the people were in the sitting position (qa'dah) at that time, so he also sat down. When the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) finished the prayer, Mu'adh stood up and completed the part of the prayer he had missed. Seeing this, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said to the people: "You should do as Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) has done."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرِيبٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا مُعَاذٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ: قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا كُنْتُ أَكْتُمُكُمُوهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ كَانَ آخِرُ كَلَامِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ " (٢)،

Kathirah bin Murrah says that during his illness of death, Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said to us: I have heard a hadith from the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) which I have kept hidden from you until now (but I am narrating it now). I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: Whoever's last words at the time of departing from this world are "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah), Paradise becomes obligatory for him.

حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْأَعْمَشَ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ: أَنَّ مُعَاذًا قَالَ: وَاللهِ إِنَّ عُمَرَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي حُمْرَ، ، النَّعَمِ، وَإِنَّكُمْ تَفَرَّقْتُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُخْبِرَكُمْ لِمَ قُلْتُ ذَاكَ؟ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَهُمُ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي رَأَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شَأْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: " وَرُؤْيَا النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَقٌّ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that, by Allah! Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) will be in Paradise, and I would not even like to have red camels in exchange for this (certainty). And before I tell you the reason for my statement, you people are dispersing. Then he narrated the dream which the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) saw regarding Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and said that the dream of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) is true. (The Noble Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him] said: Once, in a dream, I was inside Paradise and I saw a palace there. I asked the people, "Whose is this?" They replied, "This belongs to Umar bin Khattab [may Allah be pleased with him].")

حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ لَا يَرُوحُ حَتَّى يُبْرِدَ يَجْمَعَ (٢) بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever provides equipment for a warrior (in the path of Allah), or takes good care of his family in his absence, will be counted among us.

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was riding behind the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) on a donkey. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) called me by name and said, "O Mu'adh! Do you know what is Allah's right upon His servants?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Allah's right upon His servants is) that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you know what is the right of the servants upon Allah, if they do that?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Their right is that Allah will admit them to Paradise."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ حَسَنٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: أخبرنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ، قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: الْهُذَلِيِّ، عَنْ رَوْحِ بْنِ عَابِدٍ، (٢) عَنْ أَبِي الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ فَقَالَ: " يَا مُعَاذُ ". قُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ. قَالَ: " هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ " قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ،، قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا، فَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثًا،، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " حَقُّهُ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ". ثُمَّ قَالَ: " هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ " فَقُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ،، قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا وَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثًا، فَقَالَ: " حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ، وَأَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was riding behind the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) on a red donkey. The Prophet (ﷺ) called me by name and said, "O Mu'adh!" I replied, "At your service, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you know what right Allah has over His servants?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." This question and answer happened three times. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(The right of Allah over His servants is) that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do that?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That right is that Allah will admit them to Paradise."

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، وَحُسْنٌ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِحِمَارٍ قَدْ شُدَّ عَلَيْهِ بَرْذَعَةٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ حَسَنًا جَمَعَ الْإِسْنَادَيْنِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Jihad is of two kinds. Whoever performs jihad to seek the pleasure of Allah, obeys his leader, spends his life, makes things easy for his fellow travelers, and avoids discord and corruption, then his sleeping and waking are both rewarded. And whoever performs jihad for pride, show, and fame, disobeys the leader, and spreads corruption in the land, then he does not return with even as much reward as would suffice him.

It may be that you will not meet me next year, or it may be that next year you will pass by my mosque and my grave." Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep out of grief at the separation from the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). Then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) turned his face towards Madinah Munawwarah and said, "The people closest to me among all are the God-fearing, whoever they may be and wherever they may be."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زِيَادٍ يَحْيَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْغَسَّانِيُّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ قُطَيْبٍ،، ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ: " لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بِقَبْرِي وَمَسْجِدِي وَقَدْ بَعَثْتُكَ إِلَى قَوْمٍ رَقِيقَةٍ قُلُوبُهُمْ يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ مَرَّتَيْنِ، فَقَاتِلْ بِمَنْ أَطَاعَكَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ عَصَاكَ، ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ حَتَّى تُبَادِرَ الْمَرْأَةُ زَوْجَهَا، وَالْوَلَدُ وَالِدَهُ، وَالْأَخُ أَخَاهُ، فَانْزِلْ بَيْنَ الْحَيَّيْنِ (١) السَّكُونَ وَالسَّكَاسِكَ " (٢)،

Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sent me to Yemen, he said: "In the future, you will pass by my grave and my mosque. I am sending you to a people who are tender-hearted, and they will fight twice for the sake of truth. Therefore, those who obey you, take them along and fight against those who disobey you. Then those people will return to Islam to such an extent that a woman will surpass her husband, a son his father, and a brother his brother. And you should camp among the tribes named 'Sakoon' and 'Sakāsik'."

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ السَّكُونِيِّ، أَنَّ مُعَاذًا لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٣) يُوصِيهِ، ، وَمُعَاذٌ رَاكِبٌ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي تَحْتَ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ: " يَا مُعَاذُ، إِنَّكَ عَسَى أَنْ لَا تَلْقَانِي بَعْدَ عَامِي هَذَا، وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بِمَسْجِدِي وَقَبْرِي ". فَبَكَى مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ جَشَعًا لِفِرَاقِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا تَبْكِ يَا مُعَاذُ لَلْبُكَاءُ، أَوْ إِنَّ الْبُكَاءَ، مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sent him to Yemen, he himself went out to see him off and kept advising him along the way. Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was riding, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was walking alongside him. When the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) finished giving him advice, he said, "Mu'adh! It may be that you will not meet me next year, or it may be that next year you will pass by my mosque and my grave." Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep out of grief at the separation from the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Mu'adh! Do not weep, for weeping is from Satan."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ الْغَسَّانِيُّ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ أَقْوَامٌ إِخْوَانُ الْعَلَانِيَةِ أَعْدَاءُ السَّرِيرَةِ ". فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: " ذَلِكَ بِرَغْبَةِ بَعْضِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، وَرَهْبَةِ بَعْضِهِمْ مِنْ (٢) بَعْضٍ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: In the last era, there will come some people who will appear as brothers in front of others, but behind their backs, they will be like enemies. Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah! How will this happen?" He replied, "Because of greed from some and fear of others."

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَرْدِ، عَنِ اللَّجْلَاجِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذٌ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَقُولُ فِي دُعَائِهِ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الصَّبْرَ. قَالَ: " سَأَلْتَ الْبَلَاءَ فَسَلِ اللهَ الْعَافِيَةَ ". قَالَ: وَأَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ تَمَامَ نِعْمَتِكَ. فَقَالَ: " ابْنَ آدَمَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا تَمَامُ النِّعْمَةِ؟ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، دَعْوَةٌ دَعَوْتُ بِهَا أَرْجُو بِهَا الْخَيْرَ. قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ تَمَامَ النِّعْمَةِ فَوْزٌ مِنَ النَّارِ وَدُخُولُ الْجَنَّةِ ". وَأَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: يَا ذَا الْجِلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ. فَقَالَ: " قَدْ اسْتُجِيبَ لَكَ فَسَلْ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a man who was supplicating: "O Allah! I ask You for patience." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You are asking Allah for calamity; rather, ask Allah for well-being." Then he passed by another man who was supplicating: "O Allah! I request from You all blessings." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "O son of Adam! Do you know what is meant by 'all blessings'?" He replied: "I hope for the good of the supplication I made." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "All blessings is that a person is saved from Hell and admitted into Paradise." Then he passed by a man who was supplicating by saying: "Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram (O Possessor of Majesty and Honor)," and he said to him: "Your supplication will be accepted, so ask."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ: أُتِيَ مُعَاذٌ بِيَهُودِيٍّ وَارِثُهُ مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: أَوْ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْإِسْلَامُ يَزِيدُ وَلَا يَنْقُصُ "، ، فَوَرَّثَهُ (١)،

Abu Al-Aswad Daili says that when Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Yemen, a case regarding the inheritance of a Jew who had died and left behind a Muslim brother was presented before him. Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) say that Islam increases, it does not decrease. And based on this hadith, he declared him (the Muslim brother) as an heir.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَهُوَ الضَّرِيرُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا مُعَاذًا فَقُلْنَا: حَدِّثْنَا مِنْ غَرَائِبِ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَقَالَ: " يَا مُعَاذُ ". فَقُلْتُ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، فَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): Once we went to Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him, "Tell us some amazing incident of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)." He said, "Alright. Once I was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on a donkey. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called me by name and said, 'O Mu'adh!' I replied, 'At your service, O Messenger of Allah!' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'Do you know what right Allah has over His servants?' I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, '(Allah's right over His servants is) that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do that?' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'Their right is that Allah will not punish them.'"

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ، ، مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَوْصِنِي. قَالَ: " اتَّقِ اللهَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ أَوْ أَيْنَمَا كُنْتَ ". قَالَ: زِدْنِي قَالَ: " أَتْبِعِ السَّيِّئَةَ الْحَسَنَةَ تَمْحُهَا ". قَالَ: زِدْنِي. قَالَ: " خَالِقِ النَّاسَ بِخُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ " (١)،

It is narrated from Muadh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he requested the Messenger of Allah for some advice. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: "Fear Allah wherever you are." I requested for more, so he said: "Whenever you commit a sin, follow it up with a good deed which will erase it." I requested for more, so he said: "Behave with people with good manners."

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي ابْنَ دِينَارٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَنْ شَهِدَ مُعَاذًا حِينَ حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ. يَقُولُ: اكْشِفُوا عَنِّي سَجْفَ الْقُبَّةِ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمُوهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَتَّكِلُوا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُخْلِصًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، أَوْ يَقِينًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ، لَمْ يَدْخُلِ النَّارَ،، ، أَوْ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، " وَقَالَ مَرَّةً: " دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمْ تَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ " (١)،

Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that during his illness of death, Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed those present and told us that I have heard a hadith from the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) which I have kept hidden from you until now (and am now narrating it). Therefore, remove the curtain of the tent, and until now I have not narrated this hadith only because I did not want you to rely solely upon it. I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: Whoever's last words at the time of departing from this world are "La ilaha illallah" with certainty of heart, Paradise becomes obligatory for him.

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَوْنٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ رِجَالٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُعَاذٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ: " كَيْفَ تَقْضِي؟ " قَالَ: أَقْضِي بِكِتَابِ اللهِ. قَالَ: " فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ ". قَالَ: فَبِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: " فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ". قَالَ: أَجْتَهِدُ رَأْيِي. قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَفَّقَ رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللهِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sent him towards Yemen, he asked him, "If a decision comes before you, how will you resolve it?" He replied, "I will decide it in the light of the Book of Allah." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "If you do not find it in the Book of Allah, then what will you do?" He replied, "Then I will decide in the light of the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ)." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "If you do not find its ruling in my Sunnah either, then what will you do?" He replied, "Then I will exercise ijtihad with my own opinion." Upon this, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "All praise is due to Allah, Who has granted the messenger of His Messenger the ability to do that which pleases His Messenger."

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ: " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) combined the Zuhr and Asr, and the Maghrib and Isha prayers during the Battle of Tabuk.

Abu Idris says that once I attended a gathering in which twenty companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) were present. Among them was a young and youthful companion, whose complexion was radiant, with large black eyes and shining teeth. Whenever there was any disagreement among the people and he spoke, they would accept his word as final. Later, I found out that he was Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). The next day, I came again and found him praying behind a pillar. He shortened his prayer, sat cross-legged, and remained silent. I approached and said, "By Allah! I love you for the sake of Allah's majesty." He made me swear and asked, "Really?" I also swore and replied. He then said, "Those who love each other for Allah's sake will be under the shade of Allah's Throne on the Day when there will be no shade except His. (After this, there is no doubt in the rest of the hadith.) For them, chairs of light will be set up, and due to their nearness to the Lord of the worlds, even the Prophets (peace be upon them), the truthful, and the martyrs will envy them." Later, I narrated this hadith to Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said, "I will narrate to you only that hadith which I myself heard from the tongue of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and it is this: 'My love is assured for those who love each other for My sake; My love is assured for those who meet each other for My sake; My love is assured for those who spend on each other for My sake; and those who love each other for Allah's sake will be seated on pulpits of light under the shade of the Throne, when there will be no shade except its shade.'"

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

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أخبرَنَا حَرِيزٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا رَاشِدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ السَّكُونِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: رَقَبْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ، فَاحْتَبَسَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ يَخْرُجَ، وَالْقَائِلُ مِنَّا يَقُولُ: قَدْ صَلَّى وَلَنْ يَخْرُجَ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ظَنَنَّا أَنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرُجَ وَالْقَائِلُ مِنَّا يَقُولُ: قَدْ صَلَّى وَلَنْ يَخْرُجَ. فَقَالَ، ، رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَعْتِمُوا (١) بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ؛ فَقَدْ فُضِّلْتُمْ بِهَا عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ، وَلَمْ تُصَلِّهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَكُمْ ". (٢)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once at the time of the Isha prayer, we were waiting for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), but the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) did not come for quite a while, to the extent that we began to think that perhaps now the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would not come, and some people even said that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) has already performed the prayer, so he will not come now. After a little while, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came out. We submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! We had thought that you would not come now, and some of us even said that you have already performed the prayer, so you would not come out?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perform this prayer, for you have been given superiority in this prayer over all other communities, and no community before you has performed this prayer."

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزٌ عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ السَّكُونِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُعَاذٍ، سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذًا يَقُولُ: إِنَّا رَقَبْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْنِي: انْتَظَرْنَاهُ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ (٣)، ،

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ النَّزَّالِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ خَلِيًّا. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ. قَالَ: " بَخٍ، لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ عَظِيمٍ، وَهُوَ يَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ تُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ، وَتُؤَدِّي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ، وَتَلْقَى اللهَ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْأَمْرِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذُرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ؟ أَمَّا رَأْسُ الْأَمْرِ: فَالْإِسْلَامُ، فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ سَلِمَ، وَأَمَّا عَمُودُهُ: فَالصَّلَاةُ، وَأَمَّا ذُرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ: فَالْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ؟ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ وَقِيَامُ الْعَبْدِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ يُكَفِّرُ الْخَطَايَا، (١) وَتَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا، وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ} [السجدة: ١٦] أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَمْلَكِ ذَلِكَ لَكَ كُلِّهِ؟ " قَالَ: فَأَقْبَلَ نَفَرٌ، قَالَ: فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ يَشْغَلُوا عَنِّي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَوْلُكَ أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَمْلَكِ ذَلِكَ لَكَ كُلِّهِ؟ قَالَ: فَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى لِسَانِهِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنَّا لَنُؤَاخَذُ بِمَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ؟ قَالَ: " ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ مُعَاذُ، وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ إِلَّا حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ؟ "، ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: قَالَ لِيَ الْحَكَمُ وحَدَّثَنِي بِهِ مَيْمُونُ بْنُ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ، وقَالَ الْحَكَمُ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were returning from the Battle of Tabuk with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). During the journey, one day I had the privilege of being close to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), tell me of an action that will admit me to Paradise." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have asked about a great matter, but it is easy for the one for whom Allah makes it easy: establish prayer, and meet Allah in such a state that you do not associate anyone with Him." Then he said, "Shall I not inform you of the foundation of the religion, its pillar, and its highest peak?" I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Certainly." He said, "The foundation of this religion is Islam, its pillar is prayer, and its highest peak is jihad." Then he said, "Shall I not tell you the doors of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sins, and a person’s prayer in the middle of the night is among the doors of goodness." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) recited this verse from Surah Sajda: 'Their sides forsake their beds... they know.' Then he said, "Shall I not tell you the sum of these things?" Meanwhile, some people came from the front, and I feared that they might divert the attention of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), so I reminded the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) of his statement. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) held his tongue and said, "Restrain this." I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Will we be held accountable for what we speak?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) (gently admonishing) said, "Mu'adh! May your mother lose you! Is there anything that topples people on their faces into Hell except the harvest of their tongues regarding others?"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَمْلَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " أَوْجَبَ ذُو الثَّلَاثَةِ ". فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ: وَذُو الِاثْنَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: " وَذُو الِاثْنَيْنِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: "For the person in whose favor three people bear witness, Paradise becomes obligatory for him." Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What if there are two?" He replied, "If there are two, then the same ruling applies."

قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، ، الْمَكِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَامِرِ بْنِ وَاثِلَةَ، أَنَّ مُعَاذًا أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُمْ خَرَجُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَامَ تَبُوكَ، فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ. قَالَ: وَأَخَّرَ الصَّلَاةَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّكُمْ سَتَأْتُونَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ عَيْنَ تَبُوكَ، وَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَأْتُوهَا (١) حَتَّى يَضْحَى النَّهَارُ، فَمَنْ جَاءَهَا (٢) فَلَا يَمَسَّ مِنْ مَائِهَا شَيْئًا حَتَّى آتِيَ ". فَجِئْنَا وَقَدْ سَبَقَنَا إِلَيْهَا رَجُلَانِ وَالْعَيْنُ مِثْلُ الشِّرَاكِ تَبِضُّ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ، فَسَأَلَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " هَلْ مَسِسْتُمَا مِنْ مَائِهَا شَيْئًا؟ " فَقَالَا: نَعَمْ. فَسَبَّهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ لَهُمَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ، ثُمَّ غَرَفُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ مِنَ الْعَيْنِ قَلِيلًا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ فِي شَيْءٍ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَعَادَهُ فِيهَا فَجَرَتِ الْعَيْنُ بِمَاءٍ كَثِيرٍ فَاسْتَقَى النَّاسُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يُوشِكُ يَا مُعَاذُ إِنْ طَالَتْ بِكَ حَيَاةٌ أَنْ تَرَى مَا هَاهُنَا قَدْ مَلَأَ جِنَانًا " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk, the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) set out with the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), and the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) would combine the Zuhr and Asr prayers, and the Maghrib and Isha prayers, and would return and again combine the Maghrib and Isha prayers in the same way. One day, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "InshaAllah, tomorrow you will reach the spring of Tabuk, and when you reach there, it will be daytime. Whoever reaches this spring should not touch its water until I arrive." So when we reached there, two men had already arrived before us. There was only a little water trickling from the spring, like a shoelace. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked both of them, "Did you touch this water?" They replied, "Yes!" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) rebuked them severely and said whatever Allah willed. Then the people scooped out a little water with their hands until enough was collected in a vessel. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) washed his face and blessed hands with it, then poured that water back into the spring. Immediately, the spring filled with water, and everyone drank from it to their fill. Then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "O Mu'adh! It may be that you will have a long life and will see this place filled with gardens."

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ، وَقَالَ تَبِضُّ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ (١)،

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

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ زَحْرٍ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ قَالَ: قَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ مَا أَوَّلُ مَا يَقُولُ اللهُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَا أَوَّلُ مَا يَقُولُونَ لَهُ؟ " قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ: هَلْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ لِقَائِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: نَعَمْ يَا رَبَّنَا. فَيَقُولُ: لِمَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: رَجَوْنَا عَفْوَكَ، وَمَغْفِرَتَكَ. فَيَقُولُ قَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَكُمْ مَغْفِرَتِي " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: If you wish, I can tell you what Allah Almighty will say first to the believers on the Day of Resurrection, and what they will reply to Him first. We said, "O Messenger of Allah!" He said: Allah Almighty will say to the believers, "Did you desire to meet Me?" They will reply, "Yes, O Lord!" He will ask, "Why?" The believers will say, "We hoped for Your pardon and forgiveness." He will say, "I have made My forgiveness obligatory for you."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى الشَّامِ يُفَقِّهُ النَّاسَ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَنَّهُ رَكِبَ يَوْمًا عَلَى حِمَارٍ لَهُ، يُقَالُ لَهُ يَعْفُورٌ رَسَنُهُ مِنْ لِيفٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ارْكَبْ يَا مُعَاذُ ". فَقُلْتُ: سِرْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَقَالَ: " ارْكَبْ ". فَرَدَفْتُهُ فَصُرِعَ الْحِمَارُ بِنَا، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضْحَكُ، وَقُمْتُ أَذْكُرُ مِنْ نَفْسِي أَسَفًا، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ الثَّانِيَةَ، ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ فَرَكِبَ، وَسَارَ بِنَا الْحِمَارُ فَأَخْلَفَ يَدَهُ فَضَرَبَ ظَهْرِي بِسَوْطٍ مَعَهُ أَوْ عَصًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا مُعَاذُ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ " فَقُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ". قَالَ: ثُمَّ سَارَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ أَخْلَفَ يَدَهُ فَضَرَبَ ظَهْرِي. فَقَالَ: " يَا مُعَاذُ، يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ مُعَاذٍ، هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا هُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ " قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he rode on a donkey “whose name was Ya’foor and whose rope was made of palm fiber,” and said, “Mu’adh! Ride on it.” I submitted, “O Messenger of Allah! You go ahead.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) again said, “You also ride on it.” As soon as I sat behind, the donkey threw us off. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) stood up laughing, and I began to feel sorry for myself. This happened three times in the same way. Finally, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) mounted and set off. After a short while, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) extended his hand behind and lightly struck my back with a whip and, calling my name, said, “O Mu’adh! Do you know what right Allah has over His servants?” I submitted, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah’s right over His servants is that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him.” Then, after going a little further, he struck my back again and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Mu’adh! Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do so?” I submitted, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “That right is that Allah will admit them to Paradise.”

حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنِي ضُبَارَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ دُوَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: " يَا مُعَاذُ، أَنْ يَهْدِيَ اللهُ عَلَى يَدَيْكَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: O Mu'adh! If Allah grants guidance to a polytheist through you, it is better for you than red camels.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: أَوْصَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَشْرِ كَلِمَاتٍ قَالَ: " لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا وَإِنْ قُتِلْتَ وَحُرِّقْتَ، وَلَا تَعُقَّنَّ وَالِدَيْكَ، وَإِنْ أَمَرَاكَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ، وَلَا تَتْرُكَنَّ صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً مُتَعَمِّدًا؛ فَإِنَّ مَنْ تَرَكَ صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً مُتَعَمِّدًا فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ ذِمَّةُ اللهِ، وَلَا تَشْرَبَنَّ خَمْرًا؛ فَإِنَّهُ رَأْسُ كُلِّ فَاحِشَةٍ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَالْمَعْصِيَةَ؛، ، فَإِنَّ بِالْمَعْصِيَةِ حَلَّ سَخَطُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَإِيَّاكَ وَالْفِرَارَ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ وَإِنْ هَلَكَ النَّاسُ، وَإِذَا أَصَابَ النَّاسَ مُوتَانٌ وَأَنْتَ فِيهِمْ فَاثْبُتْ، وَأَنْفِقْ عَلَى عِيَالِكَ مِنْ طَوْلِكَ، وَلَا تَرْفَعْ عَنْهُمْ عَصَاكَ أَدَبًا وَأَخِفْهُمْ فِي اللهِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) advised me regarding ten things: (1) Do not associate anyone with Allah, even if you are killed or burned in fire. (2) Do not disobey your parents, even if they command you to leave your family and wealth. (3) Do not deliberately abandon the obligatory prayer, for whoever deliberately abandons the obligatory prayer, Allah's protection is removed from him. (4) Do not drink alcohol, for it is the root of all indecency. (5) Guard yourself against sins, for due to sins the displeasure of Allah descends. (6) Avoid fleeing from the battlefield, even if all the people are killed. (7) If a plague spreads in a region and you are already there, remain steadfast there. (8) Continue to spend your wealth on your family. (9) Do not neglect disciplining them, nor put away the stick out of heedlessness. (10) And continue to instill the fear of Allah in their hearts.

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنِ الْوَالِبِيِّ صَدِيقٌ لِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ شَيْئًا فَاحْتَجَبَ عَنْ أُولِي الضَّعَفَةِ وَالْحَاجَةِ احْتَجَبَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever becomes a ruler over people in any field and keeps himself hidden from the weak and needy, Allah will keep Himself hidden from him on the Day of Resurrection.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا الْبَرَاءُ الْغَنَوِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: {أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ} [الواقعة: ٢٧] ، {وَأَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ} [الواقعة: ٤١] فَقَبَضَ بِيَدَيْهِ قَبْضَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ: " هَذِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَا أُبَالِي وَهَذِهِ فِي النَّارِ وَلَا أُبَالِي " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) recited this verse: "The Companions of the Right" and "The Companions of the Left," and he made fists with both of his hands and said, (Allah Almighty says), "This fist is for the people of Paradise, and I do not care, and this fist is for the people of Hell, and I do not care about them either."

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَائِذُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ: أَنَّ مُعَاذًا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِمُ (٢) الْيَمَنِ فَلَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَوْلَانَ مَعَهَا بَنُونَ لَهَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ، فَتَرَكَتْ أَبَاهُمْ فِي بَيْتِهَا أَصْغَرُهُمُ الَّذِي قَدِ اجْتَمَعَتْ لِحْيَتُهُ، فَقَامَتْ فَسَلَّمَتْ عَلَى مُعَاذٍ وَرَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَنِيهَا يُمْسِكَانِ بِضَبْعَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ: مَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ؟ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ: أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: أَرْسَلَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ، وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‍؟ أَفَلَا تُخْبِرُنِي يَا رَسُولَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ: " سَلِينِي عَمَّا شِئْتِ ". قَالَتْ: حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ؟ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ: " تَتَّقِي اللهَ مَا اسْتَطَاعَتْ وَتَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ ". قَالَتْ: أَقْسَمْتُ بِاللهِ عَلَيْكَ لَتُحَدِّثَنِّي مَا حَقُّ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ؟ قَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ: " أَوَ مَا رَضِيتِ أَنْ تَسْمَعِي وَتُطِيعِي وَتَتَّقِي اللهَ؟ " قَالَتْ: بَلَى. وَلَكِنْ حَدِّثْنِي مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِهِ؛ فَإِنِّي تَرَكْتُ أَبَا هَؤُلَاءِ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا فِي الْبَيْتِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهَا مُعَاذٌ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُعَاذٍ فِي يَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّكِ تَرْجِعِينَ إِذَا رَجَعْتِ إِلَيْهِ، فَوَجَدْتِ الْجُذَامَ قَدْ خَرَقَ لَحْمَهُ، وَخَرَقَ مَنْخِرَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتِ مَنْخِرَيْهِ يَسِيلَانِ قَيْحًا وَدَمًا، ثُمَّ أَلْقَمْتِيهِمَا فَاكِ لِكَيْ مَا تَبْلُغِي حَقَّهُ مَا بَلَغْتِ ذَلِكَ أَبَدًا " (١)،

When Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived in Yemen, a woman from the tribe of Khawlan came to meet him, accompanied by her twelve children. She had left their father at home. The youngest among her children was one whose beard had fully grown. The woman stood up and greeted Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him). Two of her sons were holding her by her sides. She asked, “O man! Who has sent you?” Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has sent me.” The woman said, “Alright, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) has sent you and you are his envoy. So, O envoy! Will you not tell me something?” Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “Ask whatever you wish to ask.” She said, “Tell me, what is the right of a husband over his wife?” He replied, “As much as possible, she should fear Allah, listen to him, and obey him.” She said, “I ask you by Allah, please tell me and tell me correctly, what is the right of a husband over his wife?” He replied, “Are you not satisfied that you listen to him, obey him, and fear Allah?” She said, “Why not, but still, please tell me in detail, because I have left their old father at home.” Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said to her, “By the One in whose hand is the life of Mu’adh, when you return home and see that leprosy has torn his flesh and his nostrils have been pierced from which pus and blood are flowing, and in order to fulfill his right you begin to drink that pus and blood with your mouth, even then you will not have fulfilled his right.”

حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا عَمِلَ آدَمِيٌّ عَمَلًا قَطُّ أَنْجَى لَهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللهِ "، ، وقَالَ مُعَاذٌ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِكُمْ؟ وَخَيْرٍ لَكُمْ مِنْ تَعَاطِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ، وَمِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ غَدًا فَتَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ، وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ ". قَالُوا: بَلَى. يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " ذِكْرُ اللهِ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: A person does no deed greater than the remembrance of Allah that can save him from the punishment of Allah. It is narrated from Mu'adh (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, the one that raises you to the highest ranks, 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! Why not? The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The remembrance of Allah Almighty.

حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بُرْقَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْزُوقٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ حِمْصَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ نَحْوٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ كَهْلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَإِذَا فِيهِمْ شَابٌّ أَكْحَلُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ، بَرَّاقُ الثَّنَايَا سَاكِتٌ، فَإِذَا امْتَرَى الْقَوْمُ فِي شَيْءٍ أَقْبَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَسَأَلُوهُ. فَقُلْتُ: لِجَلِيسٍ لِي مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: هَذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فَوَقَعَ لَهُ فِي نَفْسِي حُبٌّ، فَكُنْتُ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى تَفَرَّقُوا، ثُمَّ هَجَّرْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ، فَسَكَتَ لَا يُكَلِّمُنِي فَصَلَّيْتُ، ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَاحْتَبَيْتُ بِرِدَائِي، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَسَكَتَ لَا يُكَلِّمُنِي، وَسَكَتُّ لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ، ثُمَّ قُلْتُ: وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ. قَالَ: فِيمَ تُحِبُّنِي؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فِي اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَأَخَذَ بِحُبْوَتِي فَجَرَّنِي إِلَيْهِ هُنَيَّةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَبْشِرْ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " الْمُتَحَابُّونَ فِي جَلَالِي لَهُمْ مَنَابِرُ مِنْ نُورٍ يَغْبِطُهُمُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ ". ١٠ قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ لَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِمَا حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فِي الْمُتَحَابِّينَ. قَالَ: فَأَنَا أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ: " حَقَّتْ، ، مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ، وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَبَاذِلِينَ فِيَّ، وَحَقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَوَاصِلِينَ فِيَّ " (١)،

Abu Idris says that once I attended a gathering in which twenty companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were present. Among them was a young and youthful companion, whose complexion was radiant, with large black eyes and shining teeth. Whenever there was any disagreement among the people and he spoke, they would accept his word as final. Later, I found out that he was Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). The next day, I came again and found him praying behind a pillar. He shortened his prayer and sat quietly with his knees drawn up. I approached and said, "By Allah! I love you for the sake of Allah's majesty." He made me swear, "Really?" I also swore. He then said (most likely), "Those who love each other for Allah's sake will be under the shade of Allah's Throne on the Day when there will be no shade except His. (After this, there is no doubt in the rest of the hadith.) For them, chairs of light will be set up, and due to their nearness to the Lord of the Worlds, even the Prophets (peace be upon them), the truthful, and the martyrs will envy them." Later, I narrated this hadith to Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said, "I will narrate to you only that hadith which I myself heard from the tongue of the Prophet, and it is this: 'My love is assured for those who love each other for My sake; My love is assured for those who meet each other for My sake; My love is assured for those who spend on each other for My sake; and My love is assured for those who join with each other for My sake.'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ الْخَفَّافُ الْعِجْلِيُّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يُبْعَثُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ جُرْدًا مُرْدًا مُكَحَّلِينَ بَنِي ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً " (٢)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the Day of Resurrection, Muslims will be raised in such a state that there will be no hair on their bodies, they will be beardless, their eyes will be darkened with antimony, and they will be people of thirty years of age.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ رَجَاءٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَطْلُبُهُ. فَقِيلَ لِي: خَرَجَ قَبْلُ. قَالَ: فَجَعَلْتُ لَا أَمُرُّ بِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا قَالَ: مَرَّ قَبْلُ حَتَّى مَرَرْتُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي. قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ خَلْفَهُ قَالَ: فَأَطَالَ الصَّلَاةَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ،، ، لَقَدْ صَلَّيْتَ صَلَاةً طَوِيلَةً. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ صَلَاةَ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ، سَأَلْتُ اللهَ ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَمَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً، سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ: لَا يُهْلِكَ أُمَّتِي غَرَقًا فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيَّ " (١)، ،

Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once, at night, I went out in search of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). I was told that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) had gone out. Whoever I passed by would say that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) just passed by here, until I found him standing at a place, performing prayer. I also stood behind him. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) started the prayer and kept it long, until when he finished his prayer with salam, I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Tonight you performed a very long prayer." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes! This was a prayer of encouragement and warning. In this prayer, I asked my Lord for three things, out of which He granted me two and denied me one. I requested my Lord not to destroy my ummah by drowning in the sea, and He accepted my request. Then I requested Him not to impose an external enemy upon them, so He accepted this request as well. Then I requested my Lord not to divide us into different sects, but He did not accept this request."

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: " يَا مُعَاذُ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: O Mu'adh! Whoever dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, he will enter Paradise.

حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو (٢) ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ وَقَالَ هَارُونُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: قَالَ. وَقَالَ حَيْوَةُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ وَقَالَ: مُعَاوِيَةُ، عَنْ حَيْوَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، أَنَّ مُعَاذًا قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُصَدِّقُ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ تَبِيعًا. قَالَ هَارُونُ: وَالتَّبِيعُ: الْجَذَعُ أَوِ الْجَذَعَةُ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً قَالَ: فَعَرَضُوا عَلَيَّ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ، قَالَ: هَارُونُ مَا بَيْنَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ، والْخَمْسِينَ (٣)، ، وَبَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ وَالسَّبْعِينَ، وَمَا بَيْنَ الثَّمَانِينَ وَالتِّسْعِينَ فَأَبَيْتُ ذَاكَ، وَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَدِمْتُ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، " فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آخُذَ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ تَبِيعًا، وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ مُسِنَّةً، وَمِنَ السِّتِّينَ تَبِيعَيْنِ، وَمِنَ السَّبْعِينَ مُسِنَّةً وَتَبِيعًا، وَمِنَ الثَّمَانِينَ مُسِنَّتَيْنِ، وَمِنَ التِّسْعِينَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَتْبَاعٍ، وَمِنَ الْمِائَةِ مُسِنَّةً وَتَبِيعَيْنِ، وَمِنَ الْعَشْرَةِ وَالْمِائَةِ مُسِنَّتَيْنِ وَتَبِيعًا، وَمِنَ الْعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ ثَلَاثَ مُسِنَّاتٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَتْبَاعٍ. قَالَ: وَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ لَا آخُذَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ هَارُونُ: فِيمَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا، إِلَّا أَنْ يَبْلُغَ مُسِنَّةً أَوْ جَذَعًا وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ الْأَوْقَاصَ لَا فَرِيضَةَ فِيهَا " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sent me to Yemen to collect Zakat and instructed me to collect a one-year-old cow for every thirty cows and a two-year-old cow for every forty cows. The people offered me Zakat for the numbers between forty and fifty, sixty and seventy, eighty and ninety, but I refused and said that I would first ask the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). So I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and related this incident. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) instructed me to collect a one-year-old cow for every thirty cows, a two-year-old cow for every forty cows, two one-year-old cows for sixty, one two-year-old and one-year-old cow for seventy, two-year-old cows for eighty, three one-year-old cows for ninety, one two-year-old and two one-year-old cows for one hundred, two-year-old and one-year-old cow for one hundred and ten, three two-year-old cows or four one-year-old cows for one hundred and twenty, and also instructed that Zakat should not be collected for numbers in between until the animal is a year old or six months old, and explained that ( "kasr" or) Zakat is not obligatory for less than thirty.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي مُنِيبٍ الْأَحْدَبِ قَالَ: خَطَبَ مُعَاذٌ بِالشَّامِ، فَذَكَرَ الطَّاعُونَ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهَا رَحْمَةُ رَبِّكُمْ وَدَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ، وَقَبْضُ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ. اللهُمَّ أَدْخِلْ عَلَى آلِ مُعَاذٍ نَصِيبَهُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الرَّحْمَةِ ". ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مِنْ مَقَامِهِ ذَلِكَ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فَقَالَ: عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ: {الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ} [البقرة: ١٤٧] ، فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ: {سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ} [الصافات: ١٠٢] " (١)، ،

Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned the plague during a sermon in Syria and said: "This is a mercy from your Lord, the supplication of the Prophets, and the way of death for the righteous before you. O Allah! Grant the family of Mu'adh a share of this mercy." Then, when he descended from the pulpit and reached home and saw his son Abdur Rahman (he had been afflicted by the plague), he said: "This is truly from your Lord, so do not be among those who doubt." Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "InshaAllah, you will find me among those who are patient."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيُخَيَّلُ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ أَنْفَهُ لَيَتَمَزَّعُ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ يَقُولُهَا هَذَا الْغَضْبَانُ لَذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the presence of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), there was a heated argument between two men, and one of them became so angry that I can still imagine his nose turning red due to anger. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ), seeing his condition, said: "I know a word which, if this man afflicted with anger were to say, his anger would go away, and that word is: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min ash-shaytan ir-rajim.'"

حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ صَلَّى الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ وَحَجَّ الْبَيْتَ، (١) وَصَامَ رَمَضَانَ، وَلَا أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَ الزَّكَاةَ أَمْ لَا؟، كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُ إِنْ هَاجَرَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ، أَوْ مَكَثَ بِأَرْضِهِ الَّتِي وُلِدَ بِهَا ". فَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ،، ، أَفَأُخْبِرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: " ذَرِ النَّاسَ يَا مُعَاذُ، فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ، وَالْفِرْدَوْسُ أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَأَوْسَطُهَا وَمِنْهَا تَفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ، فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللهَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever performs the five daily prayers, performs Hajj of the House of Allah, and fasts in the month of Ramadan, his sins will be forgiven, and it is a right upon Allah, whether he migrates or remains in the place where he was born. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I not give this glad tidings to the people?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Mu'adh! Let them continue to act. There are one hundred levels in Paradise, and between each two levels is a distance of one hundred years. And Firdaus is the highest and best level of Paradise; from it the rivers of Paradise flow forth. Therefore, when you ask Allah, ask for Jannat al-Firdaus."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَسَرَّةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " سَتُهَاجِرُونَ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَيُفْتَحُ لَكُمْ وَيَكُونُ فِيكُمْ دَاءٌ كَالدُّمَّلِ أَوْ كَالْحَرَّةِ يَأْخُذُ بِمَرَاقِّ الرَّجُلِ يَسْتَشْهِدُ اللهُ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهُمْ، وَيُزَكِّي بِهِ أَعْمَالَهُمْ " اللهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطِهِ هُوَ وَأَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ الْحَظَّ الْأَوْفَرَ مِنْهُ، فَأَصَابَهُمُ الطَّاعُونُ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فَطُعِنَ فِي أُصْبُعِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ، فَكَانَ يَقُولُ: مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِي بِهَا حُمْرَ النَّعَمِ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: Soon you will migrate towards Syria and it will be conquered at your hands, but there a disease of boils and blisters will be imposed upon you, which will seize a person by the leg of the ladder. Allah will grant them martyrdom through it and purify their deeds. O Allah! If You know that Mu'adh bin Jabal heard this hadith from the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), then grant him and his family an ample share of it. Consequently, all of them were afflicted with the plague and not a single one of them remained alive. When the plague swelling appeared on the finger of martyrdom of Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), he would look at it and say: I would not prefer to have a red camel in exchange for this.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: انْتَسَبَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى عَهْدِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَحَدُهُمَا: مُسْلِمٌ، وَالْآخَرُ مُشْرِكٌ، فَانْتَسَبَ الْمُشْرِكُ فَقَالَ: أَنَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ تِسْعَةَ آبَاءٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ: انْتَسِبْ لَا أُمَّ لَكَ. قَالَ: أَنَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ، وَأَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِمَّا وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ، فَنَادَى مُوسَى النَّاسَ فَجَمَعَهُمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " قَدْ قُضِيَ، ، بَيْنَكُمَا أَمَّا الَّذِي انْتَسَبَ إِلَى تِسْعَةِ آبَاءٍ فَأَنْتَ فَوْقَهُمُ الْعَاشِرُ فِي النَّارِ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي انْتَسَبَ إِلَى أَبَوَيْهِ فَأَنْتَ امْرُؤٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Ibn Abi Laila (may Allah be pleased with him) on the authority of Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of Musa (peace be upon him), two men stated their lineage; one of them was a Muslim and the other a polytheist. The polytheist said to the other, "I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so," and he counted nine names from among his ancestors and said, "Who are you? May your mother not remain!" He replied, "I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so, and I disassociate myself from those beyond that." Musa (peace be upon him) called the people together and said, "A decision has been made between you two. O you who attribute yourself to nine men! All of them are in Hell, and the tenth, you yourself, will be with them in Hell. And O you who attribute your lineage to your parents! You are one of the people of Islam."

It is narrated from Muadh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If three children of a Muslim husband and wife pass away, Allah Almighty will, by His grace and mercy, admit them into Paradise. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What if there are two children?" He replied, "The same ruling applies to them." They asked, "What if there is one?" He replied, "The same ruling applies to him as well." Then he said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, even a miscarried fetus will pull its mother into Paradise, provided she was patient over it."

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever, being in a state of ablution, goes to sleep at night while remembering Allah, then wakes up during any part of the night and asks Allah for any good of this world or the Hereafter, Allah surely grants it to him.

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) promised us regarding five things: whoever does these deeds will be under Allah's protection—one who visits the sick, one who participates in a funeral, one who goes out for jihad in the way of Allah, one who goes to the imam to honor and respect him, or a person who stays in his house so that people remain safe from his harm and he remains safe from the harm of people.

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk, if the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) set out before the decline of the sun, he would delay the Zuhr prayer and combine both Zuhr and Asr prayers at the time of Asr.

And if he set out after Maghrib, he would perform the Isha prayer together with Maghrib beforehand and then set out.

When Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived in the land of Shaam, he found out that the people of Shaam did not perform Witr.

I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: 'My Lord has added one prayer for me, and it is Witr, the time of which is between the 'Isha prayer and the rising of Fajr.'"

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was riding behind the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) on a donkey. Only the back part of the saddle was between me and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ).

The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Allah's right over His servants is) that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do so?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That right is that Allah will not punish them."

حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، وَيُونُسُ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنِ السَّرِيِّ بْنِ يَنْعُمَ، عَنْ مَرِيحِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ قَالَ: " إِيَّاكَ وَالتَّنَعُّمَ؛ فَإِنَّ عِبَادَ اللهِ لَيْسُوا بِالْمُتَنَعِّمِينَ " (١)،

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ،، ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " يَدْخُلُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ جُرْدًا مُرْدًا مُكَحَّلِينَ بَنِي ثَلَاثِينَ أَوْ ثَلَاثٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Just as there is a wolf for the sheep, likewise there is a satanic wolf for man, who seizes the sheep that remains alone and separated from the flock. Therefore, protect yourselves from living alone in the valleys, and make it obligatory upon yourselves to stay with the congregation of Muslims and the general public.

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةً فَأَحْسَنَ فِيهَا الرُّكُوعَ، ، وَالسُّجُودَ، وَالْقِيَامَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ. فَقَالَ: " هَذِهِ صَلَاةُ رَغْبَةٍ وَرَهْبَةٍ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي فِيهَا ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُعْطِنِي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَقْتُلَ أُمَّتِي بِسَنَةِ جُوعٍ فَيَهْلَكُوا فَأَعْطَانِي، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَأَعْطَانِي، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَمَنَعَنِي " (١)،

Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that once, at night, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) began the prayer, and in it he performed bowing, prostration, and standing with great excellence. I mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), so he said, "Yes! This was a prayer of encouragement and warning. In this prayer, I asked my Lord for three things, of which He granted me two and refused one. I requested my Lord not to destroy my Ummah by drowning them in the sea, and He accepted my request. Then I requested Him not to impose an external enemy upon them, and He accepted this request as well. Then I requested my Lord not to divide us into different sects, but He did not accept this request."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَهْضَمٌ يَعْنِي الْيَمَامِيَّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ وَهُوَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَلَّامِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ نَسَبُهُ إِلَى جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَائِشٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ يَخَامِرَ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: احْتَبَسَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى كِدْنَا نَتَرَاءَى قَرْنَ الشَّمْسِ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيعًا، فَثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَصَلَّى وَتَجَوَّزَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ. قَالَ: " كَمَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَى مَصَافِّكُمْ كَمَا أَنْتُمْ (٢) ". ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا. فَقَالَ: " إِنِّي سَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ مَا حَبَسَنِي عَنْكُمُ الْغَدَاةَ إِنِّي قُمْتُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَصَلَّيْتُ مَا قُدِّرَ لِي فَنَعَسْتُ فِي صَلَاتِي حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَظْتُ،، ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَبِّي فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ. فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَتَدْرِي فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ: لَا أَدْرِي يَا رَبِّ. قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ: لَا أَدْرِي رَبِّ، قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ: لَا أَدْرِي يا رَبِّ (١) ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَضَعَ كَفَّهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ أَنَامِلِهِ بَيْنَ صَدْرِي فَتَجَلَّى لِي كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَعَرَفْتُ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ فِيمَ يَخْتَصِمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى؟ قُلْتُ: فِي الْكَفَّارَاتِ. قَالَ: وَمَا الْكَفَّارَاتُ؟ قُلْتُ: نَقْلُ الْأَقْدَامِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَاتِ، وَجُلُوسٌ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَواتِ، (٢) وَإِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عِنْدَ الْكَرِيهَاتِ. قَالَ: وَمَا الدَّرَجَاتُ؟ قُلْتُ: إِطْعَامُ الطَّعَامِ، وَلِينُ الْكَلَامِ، وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ. قَالَ: سَلْ. قُلْتُ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ، وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ، وَأَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَتَرْحَمَنِي، وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِتْنَةً فِي قَوْمٍ فَتَوَفَّنِي غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ وَحُبَّ عَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُنِي إِلَى حُبِّكَ ". وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهَا حَقٌّ فَادْرُسُوهَا وَتَعَلَّمُوهَا " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) delayed coming out in the morning so much that the sun was about to rise. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came out quickly and led a short prayer. After finishing the prayer with salam, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Remain seated in your places." Then, turning towards us, he said, "I will tell you the reason for my delay in coming. Last night, I stood for Tahajjud prayer and prayed as much as Allah willed. During the prayer, I became drowsy, and when I became alert, suddenly my Lord came to me in a most beautiful form and said, 'O Muhammad! Over what are the angels of the highest assembly disputing?' I replied, 'My Lord! I do not know.' (This question and answer happened two or three times.) Then my Lord placed His palms between my shoulders, the coolness of which I felt in my chest and breast, until all the things of the heavens and the earth became clear before me, and I recognized them. After that, Allah again asked, 'O Muhammad! Over what are the angels of the highest assembly disputing?' I replied, 'About the expiations (kaffarat).' He said, 'What are the expiations?' I replied, 'Walking with one's feet to the Friday prayer, sitting in the mosque after the prayer, and completing ablution despite difficulty.' Then He asked, 'What are the things that raise ranks?' I replied, 'The things that cause high ranks are the best speech, spreading salam, feeding others, and praying at night when people are asleep.' Then He said, 'O Muhammad! Ask.' I said, 'O Allah! I ask You for pure things, for protection from evil deeds, for love of the poor, and that You forgive me and turn Your special attention to me. And when You intend to test any people, then grant me death before being afflicted by the trial. And I ask You for Your love, the love of those who love You, and the love of deeds that bring me closer to Your love.' And the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'This incident is true, learn it and teach it to others.'"

حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ يَخَامِرَ السَّكْسَكِيِّ قَالَ:، ، سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذًا يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَوْنُهُ لَوْنُ الزَّعْفَرَانِ، وَرِيحُهُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ عَلَيْهِ طَابَعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ، وَمَنْ سَأَلَ اللهَ الشَّهَادَةَ مُخْلِصًا أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ أَجْرَ شَهِيدٍ، وَإِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَمَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever receives a wound or suffers pain in the way of Allah, on the Day of Resurrection he will come with it flowing even more, but on that day its color will be like saffron and its fragrance like musk. And whoever receives a wound in the way of Allah, the seal of the martyrs is placed upon him. Whoever sincerely prays to Allah for martyrdom and then departs from this world by natural death, he will receive the reward of a martyr. And any Muslim who fights in the way of Allah even for the time it takes for milk to flow from a she-camel’s teats, Paradise becomes obligatory for him.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: اسْتَبَّ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَغَضِبَ أَحَدُهُمَا،، ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَوْ قَالَهَا ذَهَبَ غَضَبُهُ: أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the presence of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), there was a heated argument between two men and one of them became extremely angry. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ), seeing his condition, said: "I know a word which, if this man afflicted with anger says it, his anger will go away, and that word is: 'A'udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim' (I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed devil)."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ وَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ لَقِيَ امْرَأَةً لَا يَعْرِفُهَا، فَلَيْسَ يَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا قَدْ أَتَاهُ مِنْهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُجَامِعْهَا؟ قَالَ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ} [هود: ١١٤] الْآيَةَ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " تَوَضَّأْ ثُمَّ صَلِّ ". قَالَ مُعَاذٌ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَهُ خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَامَّةً؟ قَالَ: " بَلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَامَّةً " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about a man who meets a strange woman and does with her everything that a man does with his wife, except intercourse?" Upon this, Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: "Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at some hours of the night; indeed, good deeds erase bad deeds." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to that person, "Perform ablution and offer prayer." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is this command specific to him or general for all Muslims?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is general for all Muslims."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " مَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً، فَهِيَ فِدَاؤُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever frees a Muslim slave, it will become a ransom for him from Hell.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَةَ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَبِيتُ عَلَى ذِكْرِ اللهِ طَاهِرًا، فَيَتَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَسْأَلُ اللهَ خَيْرًا مِنْ، ، خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever, being in a state of ablution, goes to sleep at night while remembering Allah, then wakes up during any part of the night and asks Allah for any good of this world or the Hereafter, Allah surely grants it to him.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ " قُلْتُ: بَلَى. قَالَ: " لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Shall I not guide you to a door from among the doors of Paradise?" He replied, "What is that?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (There is no power and no strength except with Allah)."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ (٣) ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، وَرَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ يَخَامِرَ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ حَدَّثَهُ،، وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَهُمْ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ،، وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ: قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ فَقَدْ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ، وَمَنْ سَأَلَ اللهَ الْقَتْلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَفْسِهِ صَادِقًا، ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ فَلَهُ أَجْرُ الشُّهَدَاءِ، وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ نُكِبَ نَكْبَةً فَإِنَّهَا تَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَغْزَرِ مَا كَانَتْ،، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: كَأَغَرِ (٤) ، وَرَوْحٌ: كَأَغْزَرِ، وَحَجَّاجٌ: كَأَعَزِّ مَا كَانَتْ، لَوْنُهَا كَالزَّعْفَرَانِ،، ، وَرِيحُهَا كَالْمِسْكِ، وَمَنْ جُرِحَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَعَلَيْهِ طَابَعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: Whoever among the Muslims fights in the way of Allah even for the time it takes for milk to flow from a she-camel’s udder, Paradise becomes obligatory for him. Whoever sincerely asks Allah for martyrdom and then dies a natural death, he will receive the reward of a martyr. And whoever is wounded or suffers any harm in the way of Allah, on the Day of Resurrection he will come with that wound flowing even more, but its color will be like saffron and its fragrance like musk. And whoever is wounded in the way of Allah, the seal of the martyrs is placed upon him.

It is narrated from Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) set out with the people for the expedition of Tabuk. In the morning, he led the people in the Fajr prayer, and the people began to mount their rides. When the sun had risen, the people, due to traveling all night, began to doze off. Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) kept walking behind the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), staying close to him, while the people had left their rides, which had thus scattered along the paths and were grazing here and there. Suddenly, his ride bolted. Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) caught it by the reins and pulled it, so it ran swiftly, causing the Noble Prophet’s (ﷺ) camel to also bolt. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) lifted his cloak and looked back, and there was no one in the army closer to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) than Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him). So the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) called out to him, “Mu'adh!” He replied, “At your service, O Messenger of Allah!” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Come closer,” so he drew even nearer until their rides were side by side. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I did not think the people would be so far from us.” Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allah! The people are dozing, so their rides have scattered, grazing here and there.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Sleepiness also overcame me.” When Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the cheerfulness and privacy on the Noble Prophet’s (ﷺ) blessed face, he said, “O Messenger of Allah! If you permit, may I ask a question that has made me sick and sorrowful?” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Ask whatever you wish.” He said, “O Prophet of Allah! Tell me of an action that will admit me to Paradise. I will not ask you anything else besides this.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Very good (three times), you have asked a great thing (three times), but for whom Allah intends good, it is made very easy.” Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) repeated whatever he said to him three times, due to his eagerness and so that it would become firm for him. Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Have faith in Allah, have faith in the Last Day, establish prayer, worship Allah alone, do not associate anything with Him, until you depart from this world in that state.” Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allah! Please repeat this.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) repeated this three times. Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Mu'adh! If you wish, shall I tell you about the foundation of this religion, what upholds it, and its highest peak?” Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “O Prophet of Allah! Certainly, may my parents be sacrificed for you, do tell me.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The foundation of this religion is that you bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is alone and has no partner, and that Muhammad (ﷺ) is His servant and Messenger. What upholds this religion is establishing prayer and giving zakat, and its highest peak is striving in the path of Allah (jihad fi sabilillah). I have been commanded to fight the people until they establish prayer, give zakat, and bear witness to the oneness of Allah and the messengership. When they do so, they have protected their lives and wealth from me, except for the right of this word, and their reckoning is with Allah the Exalted.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) also said, “By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (ﷺ), in no deed—except for the obligatory prayer—by which the ranks of Paradise are sought, does a person’s face become pale nor his feet become dusty as they do in striving in the path of Allah (jihad fi sabilillah), and no person’s record of deeds becomes as heavy as it does by that animal which is used in the path of Allah or by mounting someone on it in the path of Allah.”

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ: أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ أُحِيلَتْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْوَالٍ فَذَكَرَ أَحْوَالَهَا قَطُّ. (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the prayer has passed through three stages, then he described the details of these conditions.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ قَالَ: أَبُو النَّضْرِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: أُحِيلَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْوَالٍ، وَأُحِيلَ الصِّيَامُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْوَالٍ، فَأَمَّا أَحْوَالُ الصَّلَاةِ: فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللهَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ {قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً، ، تَرْضَاهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ، وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ} [البقرة: ١٤٤] قَالَ: فَوَجَّهَهُ اللهُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ قَالَ: فَهَذَا حَوْلٌ. قَالَ: وَكَانُوا يَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلصَّلَاةِ وَيُؤْذِنُ بِهَا بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا حَتَّى نَقَسُوا أَوْ كَادُوا يَنْقُسُونَ. قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ وَلَوْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ نَائِمًا لَصَدَقْتُ، إِنِّي بَيْنَا أَنَا بَيْنَ النَّائِمِ وَالْيَقْظَانِ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ شَخْصًا عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَقَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ. اللهُ أَكْبَرُ. أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ (١) . مَثْنَى مَثْنَى حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الْأَذَانِ، ثُمَّ أَمْهَلَ سَاعَةً. قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي قَالَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَزِيدُ فِي ذَلِكَ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " عَلِّمْهَا بِلَالًا فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ بِهَا ". فَكَانَ بِلَالٌ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَذَّنَ بِهَا. قَالَ: وَجَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ طَافَ بِي مِثْلُ الَّذِي أَطَافَ بِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ سَبَقَنِي فَهَذَانِ حَوْلَانِ. قَالَ: وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ بِبَعْضِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُشِيرُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ إِذَا جَاءَ كَمْ صَلَّى؟ فَيَقُولُ: وَاحِدَةً أَوْ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَيُصَلِّيهَا، ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ قَالَ: فَجَاءَ مُعَاذٌ فَقَالَ: لَا أَجِدُهُ عَلَى حَالٍ أَبَدًا إِلَّا كُنْتُ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ، ، قَضَيْتُ مَا سَبَقَنِي. قَالَ: فَجَاءَ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِبَعْضِهَا قَالَ: فَثَبَتَ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ قَامَ فَقَضَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّهُ قَدْ سَنَّ لَكُمْ مُعَاذٌ فَهَكَذَا فَاصْنَعُوا " فَهَذِهِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَحْوَالٍ، وَأَمَّا أَحْوَالُ الصِّيَامِ: فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَصُومُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ: فَصَامَ تِسْعَةَ (١) عَشَرَ شَهْرًا مِنْ رَبِيعِ الْأَوَّلِ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَصَامَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللهَ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ الصِّيَامَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ} [البقرة: ١٨٣] إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ} [البقرة: ١٨٤] قَالَ: فَكَانَ مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَطْعَمَ مِسْكِينًا، فَأَجْزَأَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُ قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْزَلَ الْآيَةَ الْأُخْرَى {شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ} [البقرة: ١٨٥] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ} [البقرة: ١٨٥] قَالَ: فَأَثْبَتَ اللهُ صِيَامَهُ عَلَى الْمُقِيمِ الصَّحِيحِ، وَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ لِلْمَرِيضِ وَالْمُسَافِرِ وَثَبَّتَ الْإِطْعَامَ لِلْكَبِيرِ الَّذِي لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الصِّيَامَ، فَهَذَانِ حَوْلَانِ.، ، قَالَ: وَكَانُوا يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ النِّسَاءَ مَا لَمْ يَنَامُوا، فَإِذَا نَامُوا امْتَنَعُوا. قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ صِرْمَةُ ظَلَّ يَعْمَلُ صَائِمًا حَتَّى أَمْسَى فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ، ثُمَّ نَامَ فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ فَأَصْبَحَ صَائِمًا قَالَ: فَرَآهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ جَهَدَ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا قَالَ: " مَا لِي أَرَاكَ قَدْ جَهَدْتَ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا؟ " قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي عَمِلْتُ أَمْسِ فَجِئْتُ حِينَ جِئْتُ، فَأَلْقَيْتُ نَفْسِي فَنِمْتُ، وَأَصْبَحْتُ حِينَ أَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا. قَالَ: وَكَانَ عُمَرُ قَدْ أَصَابَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مِنْ جَارِيَةٍ أَوْ مِنْ حُرَّةٍ بَعْدَ مَا نَامَ، وَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ} [البقرة: ١٨٧] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ} [البقرة: ١٨٧] وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ فَصَامَ تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا مِنْ رَبِيعِ الْأَوَّلِ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that prayer passed through three stages, and fasting also passed through three stages. As for the conditions of prayer, when the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, he used to pray facing Bayt al-Maqdis for seventeen months, until Allah Almighty revealed the command of changing the Qiblah, and the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) turned his face towards Makkah Mukarramah. This was one stage. People used to gather for prayer and inform others, and for this, they began to ring a bell or came close to ringing a bell. Then an Ansari companion came and said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): "O Messenger of Allah! I saw a man in a dream—while I was between sleep and wakefulness—who was wearing green clothes. He stood facing the Qiblah and gave the call to prayer (Adhan). After some time, he sat down, then stood up again and repeated the same words of the Adhan, but added 'Qad qamatis salah.' And if people do not deny me, I can say with certainty that I was awake at that time, not asleep." Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Teach these words to () Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) so that he may give the Adhan." Thus, Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was the first person to give this Adhan. Meanwhile, Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) also came and said to the Prophet (ﷺ): "O Messenger of Allah, I also saw exactly the same dream, but the Ansari man has already narrated his dream before me." These are two stages. The narrator says that previously, when someone saw people in the mosque in congregation, he would inquire how many rak'ahs had been performed so far, and it would be indicated to him. He would first perform those rak'ahs, then join the remaining prayer. One day, Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: "I will adopt whatever state and condition I find you (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) in, and later I will complete my missed prayer." Because when he arrived, the Prophet (ﷺ) had already led part of the prayer. So he stood with the Prophet (ﷺ), and when the Prophet (ﷺ) completed the prayer, he also stood up and completed his prayer. Upon seeing this, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) has set a way for the people, so you should do the same." These are three stages. As for the stages of fasting: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, he commanded fasting three days every month and fasting on the day of Ashura. After that, the fasts of Ramadan were made obligatory. This noble verse was revealed: "O you who believe! Fasting has been prescribed for you..." So whoever wished would fast, and whoever wished would feed the poor, and that would suffice. Then Allah Almighty revealed another verse: "The month of Ramadan is that in which the Qur'an was revealed..." So whoever among you witnesses the month of Ramadan must fast in it. After this, except for the sick and the traveler, the concession was ended, and fasting was made obligatory for others. However, for the elderly who could not bear to fast, the permission to feed (the poor) remained. These are two stages. In the beginning of Islam, it was permissible to eat, drink, and approach women until one slept; after sleeping, until the time of breaking the next day's fast, eating, drinking, and intercourse were not allowed. Once, Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to have relations with his wife. His pure wife said: "I had fallen asleep." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) thought that his wife was making an excuse to avoid intercourse. Nevertheless, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had relations with his wife. Similarly, an Ansari companion once intended to eat and drink after iftar. People said: "Wait, let us warm the food for you." That Ansari companion fell asleep. When morning came, Allah Almighty revealed the noble verse: "It has been made lawful for you to go unto your wives on the night of the fast..." (Al-Baqarah, 187), meaning that it is permissible to have intercourse with wives during the nights of fasting. In the same way, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) fasted three days every month from Rabi' al-Awwal to Ramadan for nineteen months.

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةً فَأَحْسَنَ فِيهَا الْقِيَامَ وَالْخُشُوعَ وَالرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ قَالَ: " إِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ رَغَبٍ وَرَهَبٍ سَأَلْتُ اللهَ فِيهَا ثَلَاثًا، فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَزَوَى عَنِّي وَاحِدَةً سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَبْعَثَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَيَجْتَاحَهُمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهِ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَنَةً تَقْتُلُهُمْ جُوعًا فَأَعْطَانِيهِ، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيَّ " (١)، ،

Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that once, at night, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) began to pray, and in it he performed bowing, prostration, and standing with great excellence. I mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), so he said, "Yes! This was a prayer of encouragement and warning. In this prayer, I asked my Lord for three things, of which He granted me two and refused one. I requested my Lord not to destroy my ummah by drowning them in the sea, and He accepted this request of mine. Then I requested Him not to impose an external enemy upon them, so He also accepted this request of mine. Then I requested my Lord not to divide us into different sects, but He did not accept this request of mine."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيُّ، عَنْ الصُّنَابِحِيّ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " يَا مُعَاذُ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ ". فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَأَنَا وَاللهِ أُحِبُّكَ. قَالَ: " فَإِنِّي أُوصِيكَ بِكَلِمَاتٍ تَقُولُهُنَّ فِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ: اللهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day I met the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), and he said to me, "O Mu'adh! I love you." I replied, "O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I also love you." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Mu'adh! I advise you not to leave this supplication after any obligatory prayer: 'O Allah! Help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in the best manner.'"

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرِيبٍ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ كَانَ آخِرُ كَلَامِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Muadh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: At the time of departing from this world, whoever's last words are "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah), Paradise becomes obligatory for him.

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " اسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللهِ مِنْ طَمَعٍ يَهْدِي إِلَى طَبْعٍ، وَمِنْ طَمَعٍ فِي غَيْرِ مَطْمَعٍ، وَمِنْ طَمَعٍ حَيْثُ لَا مَطْمَعَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) once said: Seek refuge with Allah from that greed which reaches the state of sealing the hearts; also seek refuge from that greed which leads to something purposeless; and seek refuge with Allah from such greed where there is no greed at all.

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَلَاثِينَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ بَقَرَةً تَبِيعًا أَوْ تَبِيعَةً، أَوْ قَالَ: جَذَعًا أَوْ جَذَعَةً، وَمِنْ كُلِّ أَرْبَعِينَ بَقَرَةً بَقَرَةً مُسِنَّةً، وَمِنْ كُلِّ حَالِمٍ دِينَارًا، ، أَوْ عَدْلَهُ مَعَافِرَ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sent him to Yemen, he instructed him to take as zakat one-year-old cow from every thirty cows, and one two-year-old cow from every forty, and from every adult, to collect one dinar or its equivalent in Yemeni cloth called "Ma'afir."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ، عَنْ زَبَّانَ، عَنْ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَفْضَلِ الْإِيمَانِ قَالَ: " أَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلَّهَ، وَتُبْغِضَ لِلَّهِ، وَتُعْمِلَ لِسَانَكَ فِي ذِكْرِ اللهِ ". قَالَ: وَمَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " وَأَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ وَتَكْرَهَ لَهُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ " (٢)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), "What is the most excellent form of faith?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "To love and hate for the sake of Allah, and to keep your tongue busy with the remembrance of Allah." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Anything else?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Like for people what you like for yourself, and dislike for them what you dislike for yourself."

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ، ، قَيْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْثُرُ، عَنِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ: " وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلَّذِينَ يَتَحَابُّونَ فِيَّ، وَيَتَجَالَسُونَ فِيَّ وَيَتَبَاذَلُونَ فِيَّ " (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) conveyed this Divine statement: My love is assured for those who love each other for My sake, who meet each other for My sake, and who spend on each other for My sake.

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَبَّانُ بْنُ فَائِدٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ (٢) بْنِ مُعَاذٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُعَاذٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَفْضَلِ الْإِيمَانِ قَالَ: " أَفْضَلُ الْإِيمَانِ أَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلَّهِ، وَتُبْغِضَ فِي اللهِ، وَتُعْمِلَ لِسَانَكَ فِي ذِكْرِ ". قَالَ: وَمَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " وَأَنْ تُحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ، وَتَكْرَهَ لَهُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ، وَأَنْ تَقُولَ خَيْرًا أَوْ تَصْمُتَ " (٣)، ،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), "What is the most excellent form of faith?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "To love and hate for the sake of Allah, and to keep your tongue busy with the remembrance of Allah." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Anything else?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Prefer for people what you prefer for yourself, and dislike for them what you dislike for yourself, and speak good words or remain silent."

حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " سَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِأَبْوَابٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ: ١٠ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ، وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ كَمَا يُطْفِئُ الْمَاءُ النَّارَ، وَقِيَامُ الْعَبْدِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ". ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ} [السجدة: ١٦] (١) إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ "،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Shall I not tell you the doors of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sins just as water extinguishes fire, and a person's praying at midnight is among the doors of goodness. Then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) recited this verse from Surah As-Sajdah: "Their sides forsake their beds... they know."

حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَبْسِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ إِذْ سَمِعَ، ، مُنَادِيًا يَقُولُ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ. اللهُ أَكْبَرُ فَقَالَ: " عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ ". فَقَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ. فَقَالَ: " شَهِدَ بِشَهَادَةِ الْحَقِّ ". قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ. قَالَ: " خَرَجَ مِنَ النَّارِ انْظُرُوا فَسَتَجِدُونَهُ إِمَّا رَاعِيًا مُعْزِبًا، وَإِمَّا مُكَلِّبًا " فَنَظَرُوهُ فَوَجَدُوهُ رَاعِيًا حَضَرَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ فَنَادَى بِهَا (١)،

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) heard a caller saying during one of his journeys: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar." The Prophet said, "This is upon the sound nature (fitrah)." Then the caller said, "Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah," so the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He has testified to the truth." When he said, "Ashhadu anna Muhammadur Rasulullah," the Prophet said, "He has come out of Hell. Go and see; either you will find him a shepherd who has separated himself or a captive." The people went and saw that he was a shepherd, and when the time for prayer had come, he had given the call to prayer (adhan).

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ،، ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: " لَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي أَوْقَاصِ الْبَقَرِ شَيْئًا " (١)،

It is narrated from Muadh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) did not give me any command regarding cattle less than thirty.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، أَنَّ الطَّاعُونَ وَقَعَ بِالشَّامِ، فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ: إِنَّ هَذَا الرِّجْزَ قَدْ وَقَعَ فَفِرُّوا مِنْهُ فِي الشِّعَابِ وَالْأَوْدِيَةِ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مُعَاذًا فَلَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُ بِالَّذِي قَالَ فَقَالَ: بَلْ هُوَ شَهَادَةٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَدَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُعَاذًا وَأَهْلَهُ نَصِيبَهُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ. قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ: فَعَرَفْتُ الشَّهَادَةَ وَعَرَفْتُ الرَّحْمَةَ وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا دَعْوَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ حَتَّى أُنْبِئْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بَيْنَمَا هُوَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ يُصَلِّي إِذْ قَالَ فِي دُعَائِهِ: " فَحُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونٌ، فَحُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونٌ ". ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ لَهُ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ اللَّيْلَةَ تَدْعُو بِدُعَاءٍ. قَالَ: " وَسَمِعْتَهُ؟ " قَالَ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: " إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَ أُمَّتِي بِسَنَةٍ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَهُمْ فَأَعْطَانِيهَا، وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ لَا يُلْبِسَهُمْ شِيَعًا، وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَهُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ فَأَبَى عَلَيَّ، أَوْ قَالَ فَمَنَعَنِيهَا، فَقُلْتُ:، ، حُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونًا حُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونًا حُمَّى إِذًا أَوْ طَاعُونًا " ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ (١)، ،

Abu Qilabah says that when the plague spread in Syria, Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the army, "This punishment has descended, so to save yourselves from it, go into the mountain passes and valleys." When Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this, he did not confirm his statement and said, "Rather, this is martyrdom and mercy and the supplication of your Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). O Allah! Grant Mu'adh and his family a share of Your mercy." Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) says, "I understood the meaning of martyrdom and mercy, but I did not understand what was meant by the supplication of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Later, I found out that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was praying at night, and while supplicating, he said, 'Then fever or plague,' repeating this phrase three times. In the morning, someone from his family asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! I heard you making this supplication last night?' The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, 'Did you really hear that supplication?' He said, 'Yes!' The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'I requested my Lord not to destroy my Ummah due to famine, so my Lord accepted this supplication. Then I requested that He not impose an external enemy upon them who would shed their blood freely, so my Lord accepted this supplication as well. Then I requested that they not be divided into different sects so that they taste each other's violence, but He did not accept this request. Upon this, I said, "Then fever or plague," three times.'"
