While the Prophet was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked
him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle continued his
talk, so some people said that Allah's Apostle had heard the question, but did not
like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Alllah's Apostle had not
heard it. When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner,
who enquired about the Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O
Allah's Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then wait for the

"When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the
Hour (Doomsday.)"

found a place in the circle and sat there while the other sat behind the gathering, and
the third one went away. When Allah's Apostle finished his preaching, he said,
"Shall I tell you about these three persons? One of them be-took himself to Allah,
so Allah took him into His grace and mercy and accommodated him, the second felt
shy from Allah, so Allah sheltered Him in His mercy (and did not punish him),
while the third turned his face from Allah and went away, so Allah turned His face
from him likewise. "

another name. He said, "Isn't it the day of Nahr (slaughtering of the animals of
sacrifice)" We replied, "Yes." He further asked, "Which month is this?" We again
kept quiet, thinking that he might give it another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the
month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "Verily! Your blood, property
and honor are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of
yours, in this month of yours and in this city of yours. It is incumbent upon those
who are present to inform those who are absent because those who are absent might

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 71:
Narrated Muawiya:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "If Allah wants to do good to a person, He makes

a man came and asked him. "Do you know anyone who is more learned than you?
Moses replied: "No." So Allah sent the Divine Inspiration to Moses: 'Yes, Our slave
Khadir (is more learned than you.)' Moses asked (Allah) how to meet him (Khadir).
So Allah made the fish as a sign for him and he was told that when the fish was lost,
he should return (to the place where he had lost it) and there he would meet him
(Al-Khadir). So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea. The
servant-boy of Moses said to him: Do you remember when we betook ourselves to
the rock, I indeed forgot the fish, none but Satan made me forget to remember it. On
that Moses said: 'That is what we have been seeking? (18.64) So they went back

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 79:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, "The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has
sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that
absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And)
another portion of it was hard and held the rain water and Allah benefited the
people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it
and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which
could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no
6
benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's religion
and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has revealed through me (the
Prophets and learns and then teaches others. The last example is that of a person
who does not care for it and does not take Allah's guidance revealed through me
(He is like that barren land.)"

Allah's Apostle said, "While I was sleeping, I saw that a cup full of milk was
brought to me and I drank my fill till I noticed (the milk) its wetness coming out of
my nails. Then I gave the remaining milk to 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab" The
companions of the Prophet asked, "What have you interpreted (about this dream)?
"O Allah's Apostle ,!" he replied, "(It is religious) knowledge."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 83:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Amr bin Al 'Aas:
Allah's Apostle stopped (for a while near the Jimar) at Mina during his last Hajj for
the people and they were asking him questions. A man came and said, "I forgot and
got my head shaved before slaughtering the Hadi (sacrificing animal)." The Prophet
said, "There is no harm, go and do the slaughtering now." Then another person
came and said, "I forgot and slaughtered (the camel) before Rami (throwing of the
pebbles) at the Jamra." The Prophet said, "Do the Rami now and there is no harm."

increase." It was asked, "What is Harj, O Allah's Apostle?" He replied by beckoning
with his hand indicating "killing." (Fateh-al-Bari Page 192, Vol. 1)
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 86:
Narrated Asma:
I came to 'Aisha while she was praying, and said to her, "What has happened to the
people?" She pointed out towards the sky. (I looked towards the mosque), and saw
the people offering the prayer. Aisha said, "Subhan Allah." I said to her, "Is there a
sign?" She nodded with her head meaning, "Yes." I, too, then stood (for the prayer
of eclipse) till I became (nearly) unconscious and later on I poured water on my
head. After the prayer, the Prophet praised and glorified Allah and then said,
"Just now at this place I have seen what I have never seen before, including
Paradise and Hell. No doubt it has been inspired to me that you will be put to trials
in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Masiah-ad-Dajjal or nearly
like it (the sub narrator is not sure which expression Asma' used). You will be
asked, 'What do you know about this man (the Prophet Muhammad)?' Then the
faithful believer (or Asma' said a similar word) will reply, 'He is Muhammad Allah's
Apostle who had come to us with clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted
his teachings and followed him. And he is Muhammad.' And he will repeat it thrice.
Then the angels will say to him, 'Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you
were a faithful believer.' On the other hand, a hypocrite or a doubtful person will
reply, 'I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said it.' (the
same). "

the tribe of Rabi'a." Then the Prophet said to them, "Welcome, O people (or said,
8
"O delegation (of 'Abdul Qais).") Neither will you have disgrace nor will you
regret." They said, "We have come to you from a distant place and there is the tribe
of the infidels of Mudar intervening between you and us and we cannot come to
you except in the sacred month. So please order us to do something good (religious
deeds) and that we may also inform our people whom we have left behind (at home)
and that we may enter Paradise (by acting on them.)" The Prophet ordered them to
do four things, and forbade them from four things. He ordered them to believe in
Allah Alone, the Honorable the Majestic and said to them, "Do you know what is
meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know
better." Thereupon the Prophet said, "(That means to testify that none has the right
to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle, to offer prayers
perfectly, to pay Zakat, to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan, (and) to pay
Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah's cause)." Then he forbade
them four things, namely Ad-Dubba.' Hantam, Muzaffat (and) An-Naqir or

Once my Ansari friend, in his turn (on returning from the Prophet), knocked
violently at my door and asked if I was there." I became horrified and came out to
him. He said, "Today a great thing has happened." I then went to Hafsa and saw her
weeping. I asked her, "Did Allah's Apostle divorce you all?" She replied, "I do not
know." Then, I entered upon the Prophet and said while standing, "Have you

9
furious in giving advice than he was on that day. The Prophet said, "O people!

people in prayer should shorten it because among them there are the sick the weak
and the needy (having some jobs to do)."

make public announcement (about it) for one year, then utilize it but give it to its
owner if he comes." Then the person asked about the lost camel. On that, the
Prophet got angry and his cheeks or his Face became red and he said, "You have no
concern with it as it has its water container, and its feet and it will reach water, and
eat (the leaves) of trees till its owner finds it." The man then asked about the lost
sheep. The Prophet replied, "It is either for you, for your brother (another person) or
for the wolf."

intercession on the Day of Resurrection?" Allah's Apostle said: O Abu Huraira! "I
have thought that none will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for
the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the
Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart
"None has the right to be worshipped but Allah."
And 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz wrote to Abu Bakr bin Hazm, "Look for the knowledge
of Hadith and get it written, as I am afraid that religious knowledge will vanish and
the religious learned men will pass away (die). Do not accept anything save the
Hadiths of the Prophet. Circulate knowledge and teach the ignorant, for knowledge
does not vanish except when it is kept secretly (to oneself)."

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking
it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the
religious learned men till when none of the (religious learned men) remains, people
will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their
verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray."

asked, "If only two die?" He replied, "Even two (will shield her from the Hell-fire)."

Day of Resurrection) will surely be punished." I said, "Doesn't Allah say: "He
surely will receive an easy reckoning." (84.8) The Prophet replied, "This means
only the presentation of the accounts but whoever will be argued about his account,
will certainly be ruined."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 104:
Narrated Said:
Abu Shuraih said, "When 'Amr bin Said was sending the troops to Mecca (to fight
'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair) I said to him, 'O chief! Allow me to tell you what the
Prophet said on the day following the conquests of Mecca. My ears heard and my
heart comprehended, and I saw him with my own eyes, when he said it. He glorified
and praised Allah and then said, "Allah and not the people has made Mecca a
sanctuary. So anybody who has belief in Allah and the Last Day (i.e. a Muslim)
should neither shed blood in it nor cut down its trees. If anybody argues that
12
fighting is allowed in Mecca as Allah's Apostle did fight (in Mecca), tell him that
Allah gave permission to His Apostle, but He did not give it to you. The Prophet
added: Allah allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the conquest) and
today (now) its sanctity is the same (valid) as it was before. So it is incumbent upon
those who are present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent." Abu-
Shuraih was asked, "What did 'Amr reply?" He said 'Amr said, "O Abu Shuraih! I
know better than you (in this respect). Mecca does not give protection to one who
disobeys (Allah) or runs after committing murder, or theft (and takes refuge in
Mecca).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 105:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said. No doubt your blood, property, the sub-narrator Muhammad
thought that Abu Bakra had also mentioned and your honor (chastity), are sacred to
one another as is the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours. It is
incumbent on those who are present to inform those who are absent." (Muhammad
the Subnarrator used to say, "Allah's Apostle told the truth.") The Prophet repeated
twice: "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's message to you.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 106:
Narrated 'Ali:
The Prophet said, "Do not tell a lie against me for whoever tells a lie against me
(intentionally) then he will surely enter the Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 107:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair:
I said to my father, 'I do not hear from you any narration (Hadith) of Allah s Apostle
as I hear (his narrations) from so and so?" Az-Zubair replied. l was always with him
(the Prophet) and I heard him saying "Whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally)
then (surely) let him occupy, his seat in Hell-fire.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 108:
Narrated Anas:
The fact which stops me from narrating a great number of Hadiths to you is that the
Prophet said: "Whoever tells a lie against me intentionally, then (surely) let him
occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 109:
Narrated Salama:
I heard the Prophet saying, "Whoever (intentionally) ascribes to me what I have not
said then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 110:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
13
The Prophet said, "Name yourselves with my name (use my name) but do not name
yourselves with my Kunya name (i.e. Abu-l Qasim). And whoever sees me in a
dream then surely he has seen me for Satan cannot impersonate me. And whoever
tells a lie against me (intentionally), then (surely) let him occupy his seat in
Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 111:
Narrated Ash-Sha'bi:
Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked Ali, 'Have you got any book (which has been revealed to
the Prophet apart from the Qur'an)?' 'Ali replied, 'No, except Allah's Book or the
power of understanding which has been bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or
what is (written) in this sheet of paper (with me).' Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What
is (written) in this sheet of paper?' Ali replied, it deals with The Diyya
(compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to the relatives of the victim), the
ransom for the releasing of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and the law
that no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for the killing of
(a disbeliever).

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 112:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of Khuza'a killed a man from the
tribe of Bani Laith in revenge for a killed person, belonging to them. They informed
the Prophet about it. So he rode his Rahila (she-camel for riding) and addressed the
people saying, "Allah held back the killing from Mecca. (The sub-narrator is in
doubt whether the Prophet said "elephant or killing," as the Arabic words standing
for these words have great similarity in shape), but He (Allah) let His Apostle and
the believers over power the infidels of Mecca. Beware! (Mecca is a sanctuary)
Verily! Fighting in Mecca was not permitted for anyone before me nor will it be
permitted for anyone after me. It (war) in it was made legal for me for few hours or
so on that day. No doubt it is at this moment a sanctuary, it is not allowed to uproot
its thorny shrubs or to uproot its trees or to pick up its Luqatt (fallen things) except
by a person who will look for its owner (announce it publicly). And if somebody is
killed, then his closest relative has the right to choose one of the two-- the blood
money (Diyya) or retaliation having the killer killed. In the meantime a man from
Yemen came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Get that written for me." The Prophet
ordered his companions to write that for him. Then a man from Quraish said,
"Except Al-Iqhkhir (a type of grass that has good smell) O Allah's Apostle, as we
use it in our houses and graves." The Prophet said, "Except Al-Idhkhiri.e.
Al-Idhkhir is allowed to be plucked."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 113:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
There is none among the companions of the Prophet who has narrated more Hadiths
than I except 'Abdallah bin Amr (bin Al-'As) who used to write them and I never
did the same.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 114:
14
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah:
Ibn 'Abbas said, "When the ailment of the Prophet became worse, he said, 'Bring for
me (writing) paper and I will write for you a statement after which you will not go
astray.' But 'Umar said, 'The Prophet is seriously ill, and we have got Allah's Book
with us and that is sufficient for us.' But the companions of the Prophet differed
about this and there was a hue and cry. On that the Prophet said to them, 'Go away
(and leave me alone). It is not right that you should quarrel in front of me." Ibn
'Abbas came out saying, "It was most unfortunate (a great disaster) that Allah's
Apostle was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their
disagreement and noise. (Note: It is apparent from this Hadith that Ibn 'Abbes had
witnessed the event and came out saying this statement. The truth is not so, for Ibn
'Abbas used to say this statement on narrating the Hadith and he had not witnessed
the event personally. See Fath Al-Bari Vol. 1, p.220 footnote.) (See Hadith No. 228,
Vol. 4).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 115:
Narrated Um Salama:
One night Allah's Apostle got up and said, "Subhan Allah! How many afflictions
have been descended tonight and how many treasures have been disclosed! Go and
wake the sleeping lady occupants of these dwellings (his wives) up (for prayers). A
well-dressed (soul) in this world may be naked in the Hereafter. "
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 116:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Once the Prophet led us in the 'Isha' prayer during the last days of his life and after
finishing it (the prayer) (with Taslim) he said: "Do you realize (the importance of)
this night?" Nobody present on the surface of the earth tonight will be living after
the completion of one hundred years from this night."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 117:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimuna bint Al-Harith (the wife of the
Prophet ) while the Prophet was there with her during her night turn. The Prophet
offered the 'Isha' prayer (in the mosque), returned home and after having prayed
four Rakat, he slept. Later on he got up at night and then asked whether the boy (or
he used a similar word) had slept? Then he got up for the prayer and I stood up by
his left side but he made me stand to his right and offered five Rakat followed by
two more Rakat. Then he slept and I heard him snoring and then (after a while) he
left for the (Fajr) prayer.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 118:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet's narrations). Had it not
been for two verses in the Qur'an, I would not have narrated a single Hadith, and the
verses are:
15
"Verily those who conceal the clear sign and the guidance which We have sent
down . . . (up to) Most Merciful." (2:159-160). And no doubt our Muhajir
(emigrant) brothers used to be busy in the market with their business (bargains) and
our Ansari brothers used to be busy with their property (agriculture). But I (Abu
Huraira) used to stick to Allah's Apostle contented with what will fill my stomach
and I used to attend that which they used not to attend and I used to memorize that
which they used not to memorize.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 119:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said to Allah's Apostle "I hear many narrations (Hadiths) from you but I forget
them." Allah's Apostle said, "Spread your Rida' (garment)." I did accordingly and
then he moved his hands as if filling them with something (and emptied them in my
Rida') and then said, "Take and wrap this sheet over your body." I did it and after
that I never forgot any thing.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 120:
Narrated Ibrahim bin Al-Mundhir:
Ibn Abi Fudaik narrated the same as above (Hadith...119) but added that the
Prophet had moved his hands as if filling them with something and then he emptied
them in the Rida' of Abu Huraira.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 121:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah's Apostle . I have propagated
one of them to you and if I propagated the second, then my pharynx (throat) would
be cut (i.e. killed).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 122:
Narrated Jarir:
The Prophet said to me during Hajjat-al-Wida': Let the people keep quiet and listen.
Then he said (addressing the people), "Do not (become infidels) revert to disbelief
after me by striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another (killing each
other)."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 123:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Nauf-Al-Bakali claims that Moses (the companion of Khadir)
was not the Moses of Bani Israel but he was another Moses." Ibn 'Abbas remarked
that the enemy of Allah (Nauf) was a liar.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 124:
Narrated Ubai bin Ka'b:
16
The Prophet said, "Once the Prophet Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He
was asked, "Who is the most learned man amongst the people. He said, "I am the
most learned." Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge
to Him (Allah). So Allah inspired to him "At the junction of the two seas there is a
slave amongst my slaves who is more learned than you." Moses said, "O my Lord!
How can I meet him?" Allah said: Take a fish in a large basket (and proceed) and
you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set out along
with his (servant) boy, Yusha' bin Nuin and carried a fish in a large basket till they
reached a rock, where they laid their heads (i.e. lay down) and slept. The fish came
out of the basket and it took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing
thing for both Moses and his (servant) boy. They proceeded for the rest of that night
and the following day. When the day broke, Moses said to his (servant) boy: "Bring
us our early meal. No doubt, we have suffered much fatigue in this journey." Moses
did not get tired till he passed the place about which he was told. There the (servant)
boy told Moses, "Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed
forgot the fish." Moses remarked, "That is what we have been seeking. So they
went back retracing their foot-steps, till they reached the rock. There they saw a
man covered with a garment (or covering himself with his own garment). Moses
greeted him. Al-Khadir replied saying, "How do people greet each other in your
land?" Moses said, "I am Moses." He asked, "The Moses of Bani Israel?" Moses
replied in the affirmative and added, "May I follow you so that you teach me of that
knowledge which you have been taught." Al-Khadir replied, "Verily! You will not
be able to remain patient with me, O Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah
which He has taught me and which you do not know, while you have some
knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know." Moses said, "Allah
willing, you will find me patient and I will not disobey you in aught. So both of
them set out walking along the sea-shore, as they did not have a boat. In the
meantime a boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boat to take
them on board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and took them on board without
fare. Then a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak
once or twice in the sea. Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My knowledge and your
knowledge have not decreased Allah's knowledge except as much as this sparrow
has decreased the water of the sea with its beak." Al-Khadir went to one of the
planks of the boat and plucked it out. Moses said, "These people gave us a free lift
but you have broken their boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people." Al-Khadir
replied, "Didn't I tell you that you will not be able to remain patient with me."
Moses said, "Call me not to account for what I forgot." The first (excuse) of Moses
was that he had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and found a boy playing
with other boys. Al-Khadir took hold of the boy's head from the top and plucked it
out with his hands (i.e. killed him). Moses said, "Have you killed an innocent soul
who has killed none." Al-Kha,dir replied, "Did I not tell you that you cannot remain
patient with me?" Then they both proceeded till when they came to the people of a
town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found
there a wall on the point of collapsing. Al-Khadir repaired it with his own hands.
Moses said, "If you had wished, surely you could have taken wages for it."
Al-Khadir replied, "This is the parting between you and me." The Prophet added,
"May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more patient to
learn more about his story with Al-Khadir. "
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 125:
17
Narrated Abu Musa:
A man came to the Prophet and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What kind of fighting is
in Allah's cause? (I ask this), for some of us fight because of being enraged and
angry and some for the sake of his pride and haughtiness." The Prophet raised his
head (as the questioner was standing) and said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word
(Islam) should be superior, then he fights in Allah's cause."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 126:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amar:
I saw the Prophet near the Jamra and the people were asking him questions (about
religious problems). A man asked, "O Allah's Apostle! I have slaughtered the Hadi
(animal) before doing the Rami." The Prophet replied, "Do the Rami (now) and
there is no harm." Another person asked, "O Allah's Apostle! I got my head shaved
before slaughtering the animal." The Prophet replied, "Do the slaughtering (now)
and there is no harm." So on that day, when the Prophet was asked about anything
as regards the ceremonies of Hajj performed before or after its due time his reply
was, "Do it (now) and there is no harm."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 127:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
While I was going with the Prophet through the ruins of Medina and he was
reclining on a date-palm leaf stalk, some Jews passed by. Some of them said to the
others: Ask him (the Prophet) about the spirit. Some of them said that they should
not ask him that question as he might give a reply which would displease them. But
some of them insisted on asking, and so one of them stood up and asked, "O
Aba-l-Qasim ! What is the spirit?" The Prophet remained quiet. I thought he was
being inspired Divinely. So I stayed till that state of the Prophet (while being
inspired) was over. The Prophet then said, "And they ask you (O Muhammad)
concerning the spirit --Say: The spirit -- its knowledge is with my Lord. And of
knowledge you (mankind) have been given only a little)." (17.85)
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 128:
Narrated Aswad:
Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, "Aisha used to tell you secretly a number of things. What
did she tell you about the Ka'ba?" I replied, "She told me that once the Prophet said,
'O 'Aisha! Had not your people been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance
(infidelity)! I would have dismantled the Ka'ba and would have made two doors in
it; one for entrance and the other for exit." Later on Ibn Az-Zubair did the same.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 129:
Narrated Abu At-Tufail:
the above mentioned Statement of 'Ali.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 130:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
18
"Once Mu'adh was along with Allah's Apostle as a companion rider. Allah's Apostle
said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal." Mu'adh replied, "Labbaik and Sa'daik. O Allah's
Apostle!" Again the Prophet said, "O Mu'adh!" Mu'adh said thrice, "Labbaik and
Sa'daik, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said, "There is none who testifies
sincerely that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is his
Apostle, except that Allah, will save him from the Hell-fire." Mu'adh said, "O
Allah's Apostle ! Should I not inform the people about it so that they may have glad
tidings?" He replied, "When the people hear about it, they will solely depend on it."
Then Mu'adh narrated the above-mentioned Hadith just before his death, being
afraid of committing sin (by not telling the knowledge).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 131:
Narrated Anas:
I was informed that the Prophet had said to Mu'adh, "Whosoever will meet Allah
without associating anything in worship with Him will go to Paradise." Mu'adh
asked the Prophet, "Should I not inform the people of this good news?" The Prophet
replied, "No, I am afraid, lest they should depend upon it (absolutely)."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 132:
Narrated Um Salama:
Um-Sulaim came to Allah's Apostle and said, "Verily, Allah is not shy of (telling
you) the truth. Is it necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet dream
(nocturnal sexual discharge?) The Prophet replied, "Yes, if she notices a discharge."
Um Salama, then covered her face and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Does a woman
get a discharge?" He replied, "Yes, let your right hand be in dust (An Arabic
expression you say to a person when you contradict his statement meaning "you
will not achieve goodness"), and that is why the son resembles his mother."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 133:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Once Allah's Apostle said, "Amongst the trees there is a tree, the leaves of which do
not fall and is like a Muslim, tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started
thinking about the trees of the desert areas and I thought of the date-palm tree but
felt shy (to answer). The others asked, "O Allah's Apostle! inform us of it." He
replied, "it is the date-palm tree." I told my father what had come to my mind and
on that he said, "Had you said it I would have preferred it to such and such a thing
that I might possess."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 134:
Narrated 'Ali:
I used to get the emotional urethral discharge frequently so I requested Al-Miqdad
to ask the Prophet about it. Al-Miqdad asked him and he replied, "One has to
perform ablution (after it)." (See Hadith No. 269).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 135:
19
Narrated Nafi:
'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "A man got up in the mosque and said: O Allah's Apostle
'At which place you order us that we should assume the Ihram?' Allah's Apostle
replied, 'The residents of Medina should assure the Ihram from Dhil-Hulaifa, the
people of Syria from Al-Ju,hfa and the people of Najd from Qarn." Ibn 'Umar
further said, "The people consider that Allah's Apostle had also said, 'The residents
of Yemen should assume Ihram from Yalamlam.' " Ibn 'Umar used to say, "I do not:
remember whether Allah's Apostle had said the last statement or not?"
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 136:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
A man asked the Prophet : "What (kinds of clothes) should a Muhrim (a Muslim
intending to perform 'Umra or Hajj) wear? He replied, "He should not wear a shirt,
a turban, trousers, a head cloak or garment scented with saffron or Wars (kinds of
perfumes). And if he has n slippers, then he can use Khuffs (leather socks) but the
socks should be cut short so as to make the ankles bare." (See Hadith No. 615, Vol.
2).
