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

them said, "He is sleeping." The 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

the one who disobeys me and disbelieves the truth I have
brought."

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, 'By
Allah, It was nothing, except I saw that Allah had opened

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 offering prayer. I asked, "What is wrong 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.' "

(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

Prophet replied, "Your father is Hudhaifa." Then another
man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is my
father?" The Prophet said, "Your father is Salim, Maula
Shaiba." When 'Umar saw the signs of anger on the face of
Allah's Apostle, he said, "We repent to Allah."
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 395:
Narrated Warrad:
(The clerk of Al-Mughira) Muawiya wrote to Al-Mughira
'Write to me what you have heard from Allah's Apostle.' So
he (Al-Mughira) wrote to him: Allah's Prophet used to say
at the end of each prayer: "La ilaha illalla-h wahdahu la
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) Qil and Qal (idle useless talk or that you
talk too much about others), (2) 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 the daughters alive (6) and to

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet came out after the sun had declined and
offered the Zuhr prayer (in congregation). After finishing
it with Taslim, he stood on the pulpit and mentioned the
Hour and mentioned there would happen great events before
it. Then 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."

Narrated Ibn Masud:
I was with the Prophet at one of the farms of Medina
while he was leaning on 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:

They said, "But you fast Al-Wisail." He said, "I am not
like you, for at night my Lord feeds me and makes me
drink." But the people did not give up Al-Wisal, so the
Prophet 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 from which was hanging a
scroll He said "By Allah, we have no book to read except
Allah's Book and whatever is on this scroll," And then he
unrolled it, 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 permission will incur the curse of Allah,
the angels, and all the people, and Allah will not accept
his compulsory or optional good deeds. ' (See Hadith No.

The Prophet did something as it was allowed from the
religious point of view but some people refrained from it.

praising Allah, said, "Why do some people refrain from
doing something which I do? By Allah, I know Allah more
than they."
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

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

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)

Prophet 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

dish and was informed of the kinds of vegetables in
contained. He then said, "Bring it near," and so it was
brought near to one of his companions who was with him.

(to his companion), "Eat, for I talk in secret to ones
whom you do not talk to."

Allah and 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!"

After the slanderers had given a forged statement
against her, Allah's Apostle called 'Ali bin Abi Talib and

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)
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 463:
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!"

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. 713, Vol. 2)

Narrated 'Abdullah Al Muzam:
The Prophet said, "Perform (an optional) prayer before
Maghrib prayer." (He repeated it thrice) and the third
time he said, "Whoever wants to offer it can do so," lest
the people should take it as a Sunna (tradition). (See
Hadith No. 277, Vol. 2)
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 466:
Narrated Jundab bin 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "Recite (and study) the Quran as
long as you are in agreement as to its interpretation and
meanings, but when you have differences regarding its
interpretation and meanings, then you should stop reciting
it (for the time being.) (See Hadith No 581, Vol. 6)
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 467:
Narrated Jundab bin 'Abdullah:

long as your hearts are in agreement as to its meanings,
but if you have differences as regards its meaning, stop
reading it then."
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 468:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
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.
