Narrated Ibn Shihab:
Once'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz delayed the prayer and 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair went to
him and said, "Once in 'Iraq, Al-MughTra bin Shu'ba delayed his prayers and Abi
Mas'ud Al-Ansari went to him and said, 'O Mughira! What is this? Don't you know
that once Gabriel came and offered the prayer (Fajr prayer) and Allah's Apostle
prayed too, then he prayed again (Zuhr prayer) and so did Allah's Apostle and again
he prayed ('Asr prayers and Allah's Apostle did the same; again he prayed
(Maghrib-prayer) and so did Allah's Apostle and again prayed ('Isha prayer) and so
did Allah's Apostle and (Gabriel) said, 'I was ordered to do so (to demonstrate the
prayers prescribed to you)?'" 'Umar (bin 'Abdul 'AzTz) said to 'Urwa, "Be sure of
what you Say. Did Gabriel lead Allah's Apostle at the stated times of the prayers?"
'Urwa replied, "Bashir bin Abi Mas'ud narrated like this on the authority of his
father." Urwa added, "Aisha told me that Allah's Apostle used to pray 'Asr prayer
when the sun-shine was still inside her residence (during the early time of 'Asr)."
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 501:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
"Once a delegation of 'Abdul Qais came to Allah's Apostle and said, "We belong to
such and such branch of the tribe of Rab'a and we can only come to you in the
sacred months. Order us to do something good so that we may (carry out) take it
from you and also invite to it our people whom we have left behind (at home)." The
Prophet said, " I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things. (The
first four are as follows):
1. To believe in Allah. (And then he: explained it to them i.e.) to testify that none
has the right to be worshipped but Allah and (Muhammad) am Allah's Apostle
2. To offer prayers perfectly (at the stated times):
3. To pay Zakat (obligatory charity)
4. To give me Khumus
(The other four things which are forbidden are as follows):
1. Dubba
2. Hantam
3. Muqaiyat
4. Naqir (all these are utensils used for the preparation of alcoholic drinks)."

Narrated Shaqiq:
that he had heard Hudhaifa saying, "Once I was sitting with 'Umar and he said,
'Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah's Apostle about the
afflictions?' I said, 'I know it as the Prophet had said it.' 'Umar said, 'No doubt you
are bold.' I said, 'The afflictions caused for a man by his wife, money, children and
neighbor are expiated by his prayers, fasting, charity and by enjoining (what is
good) and forbidding (what is evil).' 'Umar said, 'I did not mean that but I asked
about that affliction which will spread like the waves of the sea.' I (Hudhaifa) said,
'O leader of the faithful believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a closed
door between you and it.' 'Umar asked, Will the door be broken or opened?' I
replied, 'It will be broken.' 'Umar said, 'Then it will never be closed again.' I was
asked whether 'Umar knew that door. I replied that he knew it as one knows that
there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated a Hadith that was free
from any mis-statement" The subnarrator added that they deputed Masruq to ask
Hudhaifa (about the door). Hudhaifa said, "The door was 'Umar himself."
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 504:
Narrated Ibn Mas'ud:
A man kissed a woman (unlawfully) and then went to the Prophet and informed
him. Allah revealed:
And offer prayers perfectly At the two ends of the day And in some hours of the
night (i.e. the five compulsory prayers). Verily! good deeds remove (annul) the evil
deeds (small sins) (11.114). The man asked Allah's Apostle, "Is it for me?" He said,
"It is for all my followers."
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 505:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
I asked the Prophet "Which deed is the dearest to Allah?" He replied, "To offer the
prayers at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?"
He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents" I again asked, "What is the
next (in goodness)?" He replied, 'To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in
Allah's cause." 'Abdullah added, "I asked only that much and if I had asked more,
the Prophet would have told me more."

the five prayers with which Allah blots out (annuls) evil deeds."

Narrated Az-Zuhri that he visited Anas bin Malik at Damascus and found him
weeping and asked him why he was weeping. He replied, "I do not know anything

Shu'ba said, "He should not spit in front of him, nor to his right but to his left or

of his Qibla nor to his right but to his left or under his foot."

the Prophet said to him, "Let it become cooler till we see the shadows of hillocks."

very hot weather pray (Zuhr) when it becomes cooler."

Allah's Apostle came out as the sun declined at mid-day and offered the Zuhr

to ask me about anything he can do so and I shall reply as long as I am at this place
of mine. Most of the people wept and the Prophet said repeatedly, "Ask me."
Abdullah bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi stood up and said, "Who is my father?" The
Prophet said, "Your father is Hudhafa." The Prophet repeatedly said, "Ask me."
Then Umar knelt before him and said, "We are pleased with Allah as our Lord,
Islam as our religion, and Muhammad as our Prophet." The Prophet then became

just now and I have never seen a better thing (than the former) and a worse thing
(than the latter)."

the first one at mid-day when the sun had just declined The Asr prayer at a time
when after the prayer, a man could go to the house at the farthest place in Medina
(and arrive) while the sun was still hot. (I forgot about the Maghrib prayer). The
Prophet Loved to delay the 'Isha which you call Al- Atama and he disliked sleeping

though He knows everything about you, well, "In what state did you leave my
slaves?" The angels reply: "When we left them they were praying and when we

gold) each. And then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel and they acted
(upon it) till the 'Asr prayer then they were exhausted and were! given one Qirat
each. And then we were given the Qur'an and we acted (upon it) till sunset and we
were given two Qirats each. On that the people of both the scriptures said, 'O our
Lord! You have given them two Qirats and given us one Qirat, though we have

man employed another batch and said to them, 'Complete the rest of the day and
yours will be the wages I had fixed (for the first batch). They worked Up till the

Buthan. The Prophet was in Medina at that time. One of us used to go to the
Prophet by turns every night at the time of the Isha prayer. Once I along with my
companions went to the Prophet and he was busy in some of his affairs, so the 'Isha'
prayer was delayed to the middle of the night He then came out and led the people
(in prayer). After finishing from the prayer, he addressed the people present there
saying, "Be patient! Don't go away. Have the glad tiding. It is from the blessing of

(the prayer) except you." Urwa said, "Nowhere except in Medina the prayer used to
be offered (in those days)." He further said, "The Prophet used to offer the 'Isha'

first third of the night."

Narrated Ibn Juraij from Nafi:
'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "Once Allah's Apostle was busy (at the time of the 'Isha'),
so the prayer was delayed so much so that we slept and woke up and slept and woke
up again. The Prophet came out and said, 'None amongst the dwellers of the earth
but you have been waiting for the prayer." Ibn 'Umar did not find any harm in
praying it earlier or in delaying it unless he was afraid that sleep might overwhelm
him and he might miss the prayer, and sometimes he used to sleep before the 'Isha'
prayer. Ibn Juraij said, "I said to 'Ata', 'I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying: Once Allah's
Apostle delayed the 'Isha' prayer to such an extent that the people slept and got up
and slept again and got up again. Then 'Umar bin Al-Khattab I, stood up and
reminded the Prophet I of the prayer.' 'Ata' said, 'Ibn 'Abbas said: The Prophet came
out as if I was looking at him at this time, and water was trickling from his head and
he was putting his hand on his head and then said, 'Hadn't I thought it hard for my
followers, I would have ordered them to pray ('Isha' prayer) at this time.' I asked
'Ata' for further information, how the Prophet had kept his hand on his head as he
was told by Ibn 'Abbas. 'Ata' separated his fingers slightly and put their tips on the
side of the head, brought the fingers downwards approximating them till the thumb
touched the lobe of the ear at the side of the temple and the beard on the face. He
neither slowed nor hurried in this action but he acted like that. The Prophet said:
"Hadn't I thought it hard for my followers I would have ordered them to pray at this
time."

before the rising of the sun (Fajr) and before its setting ('Asr) you must do so. He

Volume 1, Book 10, Number 568:
Narrated Ibn Abu Malih:
I was with Buraida on a cloudy day and he said, "Offer the 'Asr prayer earlier as the
Prophet said, 'Whoever leaves the 'Asr prayer will have all his (good) deeds
annulled." (See Hadith No. 527 and 528)
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 569:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatada:
My father said, "One night we were traveling with the Prophet and some people
said, 'We wish that Allah's Apostle would take a rest along with us during the last
hours of the night.' He said, 'I am afraid that you will sleep and miss the (Fajr)
prayer.' Bilal said, 'I will make you get up.' So all slept and Bilal rested his back
against his Rahila and he too was overwhelmed (by sleep) and slept. The Prophet
got up when the edge of the sun had risen and said, 'O Bilal! What about your
statement?' He replied, 'I have never slept such a sleep.' The Prophet said, 'Allah
captured your souls when He wished, and released them when He wished. O Bilal!
Get up and pronounce the Adhan for the prayer.' The Prophet performed ablution
and when the sun came up and became bright, he stood up and prayed."
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 570:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
On the day of Al-Khandaq (the battle of trench.) 'Umar bin Al-Khattab came
cursing the disbelievers of Quraish after the sun had set and said, "O Allah's Apostle
I could not offer the 'Asr prayer till the sun had set." The Prophet said, "By Allah! I,
too, have not prayed." So we turned towards Buthan, and the Prophet performed
ablution and we too performed ablution and offered the 'Asr prayer after the sun had
set, and then he offered the Maghrib prayer.
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 571:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "If anyone forgets a prayer he should pray that prayer when he
remembers it. There is no expiation except to pray the same." Then he recited:
"Establish prayer for My (i.e. Allah's) remembrance." (20.14).
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 572:
14
Narrated Jabir:
Umar came cursing the disbelievers (of Quraish) on the day of Al-Khandaq (the
battle of Trench) and said, "I could not offer the 'Asr prayer till the sun had set.
Then we went to Buthan and he offered the ('Asr) prayer after sunset and then he
offered the Maghrib prayer.
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 573:
Narrated Abu-l-Minhal:
My father and I went to Abi Barza Al-Aslami and my father said to him, "Tell us
how Allah's Apostle used to offer the compulsory congregational prayers." He said,
"He used to pray the Zuhr prayer, which you call the first prayer, as the sun
declined at noon, the 'Asr at a time when one of US could go to his family at the
farthest place in Medina while the sun was still hot. (The narrator forgot what Abu
Barza had said about the Maghrib prayer), and the Prophet preferred to pray the
'Isha' late and disliked to sleep before it or talk after it. And he used to return after
finishing the morning prayer at such a time when it was possible for one to
recognize the person sitting by his side and he (the Prophet) used to recite 60 to 100
'Ayat' (verses) of the Qur'an in it."
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 574:
Narrated Qurra bin Khalid:
Once he waited for Al-Hasan and he did not show up till it was about the usual time
for him to start his speech; then he came and apologized saying, "Our neighbors
invited us." Then he added, "Narrated Anas, 'Once we waited for the Prophet till it
was midnight or about midnight. He came and led the prayer, and after finishing it,
he addressed us and said, 'All the people prayed and then slept and you had been in
prayer as long as you were waiting for it." Al-Hasan said, "The people are regarded
as performing good deeds as long as they are waiting for doing good deeds."
Al-Hasan's statement is a portion of Anas's Hadith from the Prophet .
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 575:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
The Prophet prayed one of the'lsha' prayer in his last days and after finishing it with
Taslim, he stood up and said, "Do you realize (the importance of) this night?
Nobody present on the
surface of the earth to-night would be living after the completion of one hundred
years from this night."
The people made a mistake in grasping the meaning of this statement of Allah's
Apostle and they indulged in those things which are said about these narrators (i.e.
some said that the Day of Resurrection will be established after 100 years etc.) But
the Prophet said, "Nobody present on the surface of earth tonight would be living
after the completion of 100 years from this night"; he meant "When that century
(people of that century) would pass away."
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 576:
15
Narrated Abu 'Uthman:
'Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr said, "The Suffa Companions were poor people and
the Prophet said, 'Whoever has food for two persons should take a third one from
them (Suffa companions). And whosoever has food for four persons he should take
one or two from them' Abu Bakr took three men and the Prophet took ten of them."
'Abdur Rahman added, my father my mother and I were there (in the house). (The
sub-narrator is in doubt whether 'Abdur Rahman also said, 'My wife and our servant
who was common for both my house and Abu Bakr's house). Abu Bakr took his
supper with the Prophet and remained there till the 'Isha' prayer was offered. Abu
Bakr went back and stayed with the Prophet till the Prophet took his meal and then
Abu Bakr returned to his house after a long portion of the night had passed. Abu
Bakr's wife said, 'What detained you from your guests (or guest)?' He said, 'Have
you not served them yet?' She said, 'They refused to eat until you come. The food
was served for them but they refused." 'Abdur Rahman added, "I went away and hid
myself (being afraid of Abu Bakr) and in the meantime he (Abu Bakr) called me, 'O
Ghunthar (a harsh word)!' and also called me bad names and abused me and then
said (to his family), 'Eat. No welcome for you.' Then (the supper was served). Abu
Bakr took an oath that he would not eat that food. The narrator added: By Allah,
whenever any one of us (myself and the guests of Suffa companions) took anything
from the food, it increased from underneath. We all ate to our fill and the food was
more than it was before its serving.
Abu Bakr looked at it (the food) and found it as it was before serving or even more
than that. He addressed his wife (saying) 'O the sister of Bani Firas! What is this?'
She said, 'O the pleasure of my eyes! The food is now three times more than it was
before.' Abu Bakr ate from it, and said, 'That (oath) was from Satan' meaning his
oath (not to eat). Then he again took a morsel (mouthful) from it and then took the
rest of it to the Prophet. So that meal was with the Prophet. There was a treaty
between us and some people, and when the period of that treaty had elapsed the
Prophet divided us into twelve (groups) (the Prophet's companions) each being
headed by a man. Allah knows how many men were under the command of each
(leader). So all of them (12 groups of men) ate of that meal." |
