Muslims'. I said, 'You cannot do that.' 'Umar said, 'Why?' I said, 'Your two

others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake." Then they said,
"His example is that of a man who has built a house and then offered therein a
banquet and sent an inviter (messenger) to invite the people. So whoever
accepted the invitation of the inviter, entered the house and ate of the
banquet, and whoever did not accept the invitation of the inviter, did not enter
the house, nor did he eat of the banquet." Then the angels said, "Interpret this
example to him so that he may understand it." Some of them said, "He is
sleeping.'' The others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake." And
then they said, "The houses stands for Paradise and the call maker is Muhammad;
and whoever obeys Muhammad, obeys Allah; and whoever disobeys Muhammad, disobeys
Allah. Muhammad separated the people (i.e., through his message, the good is
distinguished from the bad, and the believers from the disbelievers)."

yourselves!' Then a group of his people obeyed him and fled at night proceeding
stealthily till they were safe, while another group of them disbelieved him and
stayed at their places till morning when the army came upon them, and killed and
ruined them completely So this is the example of that person who obeys me and
follows what I have brought (the Quran and the Sunna), and the example of the
one who disobeys me and disbelieves the truth I have brought."

fight the people while Allah's Apostle said, I have been ordered to fight the
people till they say 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah' And whoever
says: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' waves his wealth and his
life from me unless he deserves a legal punishment lusty, and his account will
be with Allah! Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, I will fight him who discriminates
between Zakat and prayers, for Zakat is the Compulsory right to be taken from
the wealth By Allah, if they refuse to give me even a tying rope which they use
to give to Allah's Apostle, I would fight them for withholding it." 'Umar said,

nephew Al-Hurr bin Qais bin Hisn who has one of those whom 'Umar used to keep
near him, as the Qurra' (learned men knowing Quran by heart) were the people of
Umar's meetings and his advisors whether they were old or young. 'Uyaina said to
his nephew, "O my nephew! Have you an approach to this chief so as to get for me
the permission to see him?" His nephew said, "I will get the permission for you
to see him." (Ibn 'Abbas added: ) So he took the permission for 'Uyaina, and
when the latter entered, he said, "O the son of Al-Khattab! By Allah, you
neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with justice." On that
'Umar became so furious that he intended to harm him. Al-Hurr, said, "O Chief of
the Believers!" Allah said to His Apostle 'Hold to forgiveness, command what is
good (right), and leave the foolish (i.e. do not punish them).' (7.199) and this
person is among the foolish." By Allah, 'Umar did not overlook that Verse when
Al-Hurr recited it before him, and 'Umar said to observe (the orders of) Allah's
Book strictly." (See Hadith No. 166, Vol. 6)

with the people?" She pointed towards the sky with her hand and said, Subhan
Allah!'' I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She nodded with her head meaning, yes.
When Allah's Apostle finished (the prayer), he glorified and praised Allah and
said, "There is not anything that I have not seen before but I have seen now at
this place of mine, even Paradise and Hell. It has been revealed to me that you
people will be put to trial nearly like the trial of Ad-Dajjal, in your graves.
As for the true believer or a Muslim (the sub-narrator is not sure as to which
of the two (words Asma' had said) he will say, 'Muhammad came with clear signs
from Allah, and we responded to him (accepted his teachings) and believed (what
he said)' It will be said (to him) 'Sleep in peace; we have known that you were
a true believer who believed with certainty.' As for a hypocrite or a doubtful
person, (the sub-narrator is not sure as to which word Asma' said) he will say,
'I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said the same.'
"

Apostle prayed in it for a few nights till the people gathered (to pray the
night prayer (Tarawih) (behind him.) Then on the 4th night the people did not
hear his voice and they thought he had slept, so some of them started humming in
order that he might come out. The Prophet then said, "You continued doing what I
saw you doing till I was afraid that this (Tarawih prayer) might be enjoined on
you, and if it were enjoined on you, you would not continue performing it.
Therefore, O people! Perform your prayers at your homes, for the best prayer of

to Allah."

sharika lahu, lahul Mulku, wa lahul Hamdu wa hula ala kulli shai'in qadir.
'Allahumma la mani' a lima a'taita, wala mu'tiya lima mana'ta, wala yanfa'u
dhuljadd minkal-jadd." He also wrote to him that the Prophet used to forbid (1)

Asking too many questions (in disputed Religious matters); (3) And wasting one's
wealth by extravagance; (4) and to be undutiful to one's mother (5) and to bury

he said, "Whoever wants to ask me any question, may do so, for by Allah, you
will not ask me about anything but I will inform you of its answer as long as I
am at this place of mine." On this, the Ansar wept violently, and Allah's
Apostle kept on saying, "Ask Me! " Then a man got up and asked, ''Where will my
entrance be, O Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet said, "(You will go to) the Fire."
Then 'Abdullah bin Hudhaifa got up and asked, "Who is my father, O Allah's
Apostle?" The Prophet replied, "Your father is Hudhaifa." The Prophet then kept
on saying (angrily), "Ask me! Ask me!" 'Umar then knelt on his knees and said,
"We have accepted Allah as our Lord and Islam as our religion and Muhammad as an
Apostle." Allah's Apostle became quiet when 'Umar said that. Then Allah's
Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, Paradise and Hell were displayed
before me across this wall while I was praying, and I never saw such good and
evil as I have seen today."

a date palm leaf-stalk. He passed by a group of Jews and some of them said to
the other, Ask him (the Prophet) about the spirit. Some others said, "Do not ask
him, lest he should tell you what you dislike" But they went up to him and said,
"O Abal Qasim! Inform us bout the spirit." The Prophet stood up for a while,
waiting. I realized that he was being Divinely Inspired, so I kept away from him
till the inspiration was over. Then the Prophet said, "(O Muhammad) they ask you
regarding the spirit, Say: The spirit its knowledge is with my Lord (i.e.,
nobody has its knowledge except Allah)" (17.85) (This is a miracle of the Qur'an
that all the scientists up till now do not know about the spirit, i.e, how life
comes to a body and how it goes away at its death) (See Hadith No. 245, Vol. 6)
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 401:

you fast Al-Wisail." He said, "I am not like you, for at night my Lord feeds me

fasted Al-Wisal with them for two days or two nights, and then they saw the
crescent whereupon the Prophet said, "If the crescent had delayed, I would have
continued fasting (because of you)," as if he wanted to vanquish them completely
(because they had refused to give up Al Wisal).
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 403:
Narrated Ibrahim At Tamii's father:
Ali addressed us while he was standing on a brick pulpit and carrying a sword

and behold, in it was written what sort of camels were to be given as blood
money, and there was also written in it: 'Medina is a sanctuary form 'Air
(mountain) to such and such place so whoever innovates in it an heresy or
commits a sin therein, he will incur the curse of Allah, the angles, and all the
people and Allah will not accept his compulsory or optional good deeds.' There
was also written in it: 'The asylum (pledge of protection) granted by any
Muslims is one and the same, (even a Muslim of the lowest status is to be
secured and respected by all the other Muslims, and whoever betrays a Muslim in
this respect (by violating the pledge) will incur the curse of Allah, the
angels, and all the people, and Allah will not accept his compulsory or optional
good deeds.' There was also written in it: 'Whoever (freed slave) befriends
(takes as masters) other than his real masters (manumitters) without their

but some people refrained from it. When the Prophet heard of that, he, after
glorifying and praising Allah, said, "Why do some people refrain from doing

Volume 9, Book 92, Number 405:
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:
Once the two righteous men, i.e., Abu Bakr and 'Umar were on the verge of
destruction (and that was because): When the delegate of Bani Tamim came to the
Prophet, one of them (either Abu Bakr or 'Umar) recommended Al-Aqra' bin Habis
At-Tamimi Al-Hanzali, the brother of Bani Majashi (to be appointed as their
chief), while the other recommended somebody else. Abu Bakr said to 'Umar, "You
intended only to oppose me." 'Umar said, "I did not intend to oppose you!" Then
their voices grew louder in front of the Prophet whereupon there was revealed:
'O you who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet..a
great reward.' (49.2-3) Ibn Az-Zubair said, 'Thence forward when 'Umar talked to
the Prophet, he would talk like one who whispered a secret and would even fail
to make the Prophet hear him, in which case the Prophet would ask him (to repeat
his words)."
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 406:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the mother of believers) Allah's Apostle during his fatal ailment said,
"Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." I said, "If Abu Bakr stood at
your place (in prayers, the people will not be able to hear him because of his
weeping, so order 'Umar to lead the people in prayer." He again said, "Order Abu
Bakr to lead the people in prayer " Then I said to Hafsa, "Will you say (to the
Prophet), 'If Abu Bakr stood at your place, the people will not be able to hear
him be cause of his weeping, so order 'Umar to lead the people in prayer?" Hafsa
did so, whereupon Allah's Apostle said, "You are like the companions of Joseph
(See Qur'an, 12:30-32). Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Hafsa then
said to me, "I have never received any good from you!"
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 407:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi:
'Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani came to 'Asim bin 'Adi and said, "If a man found another
man with his wife and killed him, would you sentence the husband to death (in
Qisas,) i.e., equality in punishment)? O 'Asim! Please ask Allah's Apostle about
this matter on my behalf." 'Asim asked the Prophet but the Prophet disliked the
question and disapproved of it. 'Asim returned and informed 'Uwaimir that the
Prophet disliked that type of question. 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will go
(personally) to the Prophet." 'Uwaimir came to the Prophet when Allah had
already revealed Qur'anic Verses (in that respect), after 'Asim had left (the
Prophet ). So the Prophet said to 'Uwaimir, "Allah has revealed Qur'anic Verses
regarding you and your wife." The Prophet then called for them, and they came
and carried out the order of Lian.
Then 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! Now if I kept her with me, I would be
accused of telling a lie." So 'Uwaimir divorced her although the Prophet did not
order him to do so. Later on this practice of divorcing became the tradition of
couples involved in a case of Li'an. The Prophet said (to the people). "Wait for
her! If she delivers a red short (small) child like a Wahra (a short red
animal). then I will be of the opinion that he ('Uwaimir) has told a lie but if
she delivered a black big-eyed one with big buttocks, then I will be of the
opinion that he has told the truth about her." 'Ultimately she gave birth to a
child that proved the accusation. (See Hadith No. 269, Vol. 6)
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 408:
Narrated Malik bin Aus An-Nasri:
I proceeded till I entered upon 'Umar (and while I was sitting there), his
gate-keeper Yarfa came to him and said, " 'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman, Az-Zubair and
Sa'd ask your permission to come in." 'Umar allowed them. So they entered,
greeted, and sat down. (After a while the gatekeeper came) and said, "Shall I
admit 'Ali and 'Abbas?'' 'Umar allowed them to enter. Al-'Abbas said "O Chief of
the believers! Judge between me and the oppressor ('Ali)." Then there was a
dispute (regarding the property of Bani Nadir) between them ('Abbas and 'Ali).
'Uthman and his companions said, "O Chief of the Believers! Judge between them
and relieve one from the other." Umar said, "Be patient! beseech you by Allah,
with Whose permission the Heaven and the Earth Exist! Do you know that Allah's
Apostle said, 'Our property is not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to
be given in charity,' and by this Allah's Apostle meant himself?" On that the
group said, "He verily said so." 'Umar then faced 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "I
beseech you both by Allah, do you both know that Allah's Apostle said so?" They
both replied, "Yes". 'Umar then said, "Now I am talking to you about this matter
(in detail) . Allah favored Allah's Apostle with some of this wealth which He
did not give to anybody else, as Allah said: 'What Allah bestowed as Fai (Booty
on His Apostle for which you made no expedition... ' (59.6)
So that property was totally meant for Allah's Apostle, yet he did not
collect it and ignore you, nor did he withhold it with your exclusion, but he
gave it to you and distributed it among you till this much of it was left
behind, and the Prophet, used to spend of this as the yearly expenditures of his
family and then take what remained of it and spent it as he did with (other)
Allah's wealth. The Prophet did so during all his lifetime, and I beseech you by
Allah, do you know that?" They replied, "Yes." 'Umar then addressed 'Ali and
'Abbas, saying, "I beseech you both by Allah, do you know that?" Both of them
replied, "Yes." 'Umar added, "Then Allah took His Apostle unto Him. Abu Bakr
then said 'I am the successor of Allah's Apostle' and took over all the
Prophet's property and disposed of it in the same way as Allah's Apostle used to
do, and you were present then." Then he turned to 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "You
both claim that Abu Bakr did so-and-so in managing the property, but Allah knows
that Abu Bakr was honest, righteous, intelligent, and a follower of what is
right in managing it.
Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him, 'I said: I am the successor of Allah's
Apostle and Abu Bakr.' So I took over the property for two years and managed it
in the same way as Allah's Apostle, and Abu Bakr used to do. Then you both ('Ali
and 'Abbas) came to me and asked for the same thing! (O 'Abbas! You came to me
to ask me for your share from nephew's property; and this ('Ali) came to me
asking for his wives share from her father's property, and I said to you both,
'If you wish, I will place it in your custody on condition that you both will
manage it in the same way as Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr did and as I have been
doing since I took charge of managing it; otherwise, do not speak to me anymore
about it.'
Then you both said, 'Give it to us on that (condition).' So I gave it to you
on that condition. Now I beseech you by Allah, did I not give it to them on that
condition?" The group (whom he had been addressing) replied, "Yes." 'Umar then
addressed 'Abbas and 'Ali saying, "I beseech you both by Allah, didn't I give
you all that property on that condition?" They said, "Yes." 'Umar then said,
"Are you now seeking a verdict from me other than that? By Him with Whose
Permission the Heaven and the Earth exists I will not give any verdict other
than that till the Hour is established; and if you both are unable to manage
this property, then you can hand it back to me, and I will be sufficient for it
on your behalf." (See, Hadith No. 326, Vol. 4)
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 409:
Narrated 'Asim:
I said to Anas, "Did Allah's Apostle make Medina a sanctuary?" He replied,
"Yes, (Medina is a sanctuary from such-and-such place to such-and-such place. It
is forbidden to cut its trees, and whoever innovates an heresy in it or commits
a sin therein, will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people."
Then Musa bin Anas told me that Anas added, "..... or gives refuge to such an
heretic or a sinner..."
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 410:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:
I heard the Prophet saying, "Allah will not deprive you of knowledge after he
has given it to you, but it will be taken away through the death of the
religious learned men with their knowledge. Then there will remain ignorant
people who, when consulted, will give verdicts according to their opinions
whereby they will mislead others and go astray."
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 411:
Narrated Al-A'mash:
I asked Abu Wail, "Did you witness the battle of Siffin between 'Ali and
Muawiya?" He said, "Yes," and added, "Then I heard Sahl bin Hunaif saying, 'O
people! Blame your personal opinions in your religion. No doubt, I remember
myself on the day of Abi Jandal; if I had the power to refuse the order of
Allah's Apostle, I would have refused it.
We have never put our swords on our shoulders to get involved in a situation
that might have been horrible for us, but those swords brought us to victory and
peace, except this present situation.' " Abu Wail said, "I witnessed the battle
of Siffin, and how nasty Siffin was!"
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 412:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
I fell ill, Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr came to visit me on foot. The
Prophet came to me while I was unconscious. Allah's Apostle performed ablution
and poured the Remaining water of his ablution over me whereupon I became
conscious and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! How should I spend my wealth? Or how
should I deal with my wealth?" But the Prophet did not give me any reply till
the Verse of the laws of inheritance was revealed.
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 413:
Narrated Abu Said:
A woman came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Men (only)
benefit by your teachings, so please devote to us from (some of) your time, a
day on which we may come to you so that you may teach us of what Allah has
taught you." Allah's Apostle said, "Gather on such-and-such a day at
such-and-such a place." They gathered and Allah's Apostle came to them and
taught them of what Allah had taught him. He then said, "No woman among you who
has lost her three children (died) but that they will screen her from the Fire."

man, and used to stick to Allah's Apostle contented with what will fill my
stomach, and the Muhajirin (emigrants) used to be busy trading in the markets,
and the Ansar used to be busy looking after their properties. One-day I heard
Allah's Apostle saying, 'Who will spread his Rida' (a garment covering the upper
part of the body) till I finished my speech and then fold it, (i.e. wrap it over
your body), in which case he will never forget anything he had heard from me."

Volume 9, Book 92, Number 454:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Horses may be used for three purposes: For a man they
may be a source of reward (in the Hereafter); for another, a means of
protection; and for another, a source of sin. The man for whom they are a source
of reward, is the one who keeps them for Allah's Cause and ties them with long
ropes and lets them graze in a pasture or garden. Whatever those long ropes
allow them to eat of that pasture or garden, will be written as good deeds for
him and if they break their ropes and run one or two rounds, then all their
footsteps and dung will be written as good deeds for him, and if they pass a
river and drink from it though he has had no intention of watering them, even
then, that will be written as good deeds for him. So such horses are a source of
reward for that man. For the man who keeps horses for his livelihood in order
not to ask others for help or beg his bread, and at the same time he does not
forget Allah's right of what he earns through them and of their backs (that he
presents it to be used in Allah's Cause), such horses are a shelter for him
(from poverty). For the man who keeps them just out of pride and for showing
off, they are a source of sin." Then Allah's Apostle was asked about donkeys. He
said, "Allah has not revealed anything to me regarding them except this
comprehensive Verse:
"Then anyone who has done good, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small
ant) shall see it, and any one who has done evil, equal to the weight of an atom
(or a small ant) shall see it." (99.7-8)

said, "Clean yourself" She said again, "How shall I clean myself, O Allah's
Apostle?" The Prophet said, "Clean yourself with it." Then I knew what Allah's
Apostle meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 457:

Um Hufaid bint Al-Harith bin Hazn presented the Prophet with some butter,

meal (mastigures etc. to be put) and it was eaten over his table cloth, but the

ones whom you do not talk to."

whatever is revealed to us, and whatever is revealed to you.' "
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 461:
Narrated Ubaidullah:
Ibn 'Abbas said, "Why do you ask the people of the scripture about anything
while your Book (Quran) which has been revealed to Allah's Apostle is newer and
the latest? You read it pure, undistorted and unchanged, and Allah has told you
that the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) changed their scripture
and distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and said, 'It is
from Allah,' to sell it for a little gain. Does not the knowledge which has come
to you prevent you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never
seen any man from them asking you regarding what has been revealed to you!"
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 462:
Narrated 'Aisha:
After the slanderers had given a forged statement against her, Allah's
Apostle called 'Ali bin Abi Talib and Usama bin Zaid when the Divine Inspiration
was delayed. He wanted to ask them and consult them about the question of
divorcing me. Usama gave his evidence that was based on what he knew about my
innocence, but 'Ali said, "Allah has not put restrictions on you and there are
many women other than her. Furthermore you may ask the slave girl who will tell
you the truth." So the Prophet asked Barira (my salve girl), "Have you seen
anything that may arouse your suspicion?" She replied, "I have not seen anything
more than that she is a little girl who sleeps, leaving the dough of her family
(unguarded) that the domestic goats come and eat it." Then the Prophet stood on
the pulpit and said, "O Muslims! Who will help me against the man who has harmed
me by slandering my wife? By Allah, I know nothing about my family except good."
The narrator added: Then the Prophet mentioned the innocence of 'Aisha. (See
Hadith No. 274, Vol. 6)

Narrated Aisha:
Allah's Apostle addressed the people, and after praising and glorifying
Allah, he said, "What do you suggest me regarding those people who are abusing
my wife? I have never known anything bad about her." The sub-narrator, 'Urwa,
said: When 'Aisha was told of the slander, she said, "O Allah's Apostle! Will
you allow me to go to my parents' home?" He allowed her and sent a slave along
with her. An Ansari man said, "Subhanaka! It is not right for us to speak about
this. Subhanaka! This is a great lie!"

I heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah in a gathering saying, "We, the companions of
Allah's Apostle assumed the state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without 'Umra."
Jabir added, "The Prophet arrived (at Mecca) on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And
when we arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet ordered us to finish the state of Ihram,
saying, "Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual relation)." Jabir
added, "The Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made that
legal for us. Then he heard that we were saying, "When there remains only five
days between us and the Day of Arafat he orders us to finish our Ihram by
sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to 'Arafat with our male
organs dribbling with semen?' (Jabir pointed out with his hand illustrating what
he was saying). Allah's Apostle stood up and said, 'You (People) know that I am
the most Allah-fearing, the most truthful and the best doer of good deeds
(pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hadi with me, I would have
finished my Ihram as you will do, so finish your Ihram. If I had formerly known
what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me.' So we
finished our Ihram and listened to the Prophet and obeyed him." (See Hadith No.

When the time of the death of the Prophet approached while there were some
men in the house, and among them was 'Umar bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet said,
"Come near let me write for you a writing after which you will never go astray."
'Umar said, "The Prophet is seriously ill, and you have the Quran, so Allah's
Book is sufficient for us." The people in the house differed and disputed. Some
of them said, "Come near so that Allah's Apostle may write for you a writing
after which you will not go astray," while some of them said what 'Umar said.
When they made much noise and differed greatly before the Prophet, he said to
them, "Go away and leave me." Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "It was a great disaster
that their difference and noise prevented Allah's Apostle from writing that
writing for them.
