Volume 1, Book 8, Number 345:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
Allah's Apostle said, "While I was at Mecca the roof of
my house was opened and Gabriel descended, opened my
chest, and washed it with Zam-zam water. Then he brought a
golden tray full of wisdom and faith and having poured its
contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand
and ascended with me to the nearest heaven, when I reached
the nearest heaven, Gabriel said to the gatekeeper of the
heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is
it?' Gabriel answered: 'Gabriel.' He asked, 'Is there
anyone with you?' Gabriel replied, 'Yes, Muhammad I is
with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel said,
'Yes.' So the gate was opened and we went over the nearest
heaven and there we saw a man sitting with some people on
his right and some on his left. When he looked towards his
right, he laughed and when he looked toward his left he
wept. Then he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious
son.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is
Adam and the people on his right and left are the souls of
his offspring. Those on his right are the people of
Paradise and those on his left are the people of Hell and
when he looks towards his right he laughs and when he
looks towards his left he weeps.'
Then he ascended with me till he reached the second
heaven and he (Gabriel) said to its gatekeeper, 'Open (the
gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the
gatekeeper of the first heaven had said and he opened the
gate. Anas said: "Abu Dhar added that the Prophet met
Adam, Idris, Moses, Jesus and Abraham, he (Abu Dhar) did
not mention on which heaven they were but he mentioned
that he (the Prophet ) met Adarn on the nearest heaven and
Abraham on the sixth heaven. Anas said, "When Gabriel
along with the Prophet passed by Idris, the latter said,
'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious brother.' The Prophet
asked, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Idris." The
Prophet added, "I passed by Moses and he said, 'Welcome! O
pious Prophet and pious brother.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is
he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Moses.' Then I passed by
Jesus and he said, 'Welcome! O pious brother and pious
Prophet.' I asked, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is
Jesus.
Then I passed by Abraham and he said, 'Welcome! O pious
Prophet and pious son.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?'
Gabriel replied, 'He is Abraham. The Prophet added, 'Then
Gabriel ascended with me to a place where I heard the
creaking of the pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik said:
The Prophet said, "Then Allah enjoined fifty prayers on my
followers when I returned with this order of Allah, I
passed by Moses who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on
your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty prayers
on them.' Moses said, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal
for reduction) for your followers will not be able to bear
it.' (So I went back to Allah and requested for reduction)
and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Moses again
and informed him about it, he said, 'Go back to your Lord
as your followers will not be able to bear it.' So I
returned to Allah and requested for further reduction and
half of it was reduced. I again passed by Moses and he
said to me: 'Return to your Lord, for your followers will
not be able to bear it. So I returned to Allah and He
said, 'These are five prayers and they are all (equal to)
fifty (in reward) for My Word does not change.' I returned
to Moses and he told me to go back once again. I replied,
'Now I feel shy of asking my Lord again.' Then Gabriel
took me till we '' reached Sidrat-il-Muntaha (Lote tree
of; the utmost boundry) which was shrouded in colors,
indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I
found small (tents or) walls (made) of pearls and its
earth was of musk."

been warned.' He repeated this thrice. The people came out
for their jobs and some of them said, 'Muhammad (has
come).' (Some of our companions added, "With his army.")
We conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty was
collected. Dihya came and said, 'O Allah's Prophet! Give
me a slave girl from the captives.' The Prophet said, 'Go
and take any slave girl.' He took Safiya bint Huyai. A man
came to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostles! You
gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the chief
mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir and she
befits none but you.' So the Prophet said, 'Bring him
along with her.' So Dihya came with her and when the

anything (food) should bring it.' He spread out a leather
sheet (for the food) and some brought dates and others

so, the slave of so and so prepared it for Allah's Apostle
. When it was constructed and place (in the Mosque),
Allah's Apostle stood on it facing the Qibla and said 'Allahu
Akbar', and the people stood behind him (and led the
people in prayer). He recited and bowed and the people
bowed behind him. Then he raised his head and stepped
back, got down and prostrated on the ground and then he
again ascended the pulpit, recited, bowed, raised his head
and stepped back, got down and prostrate on the ground.
So, this is what I know about the pulpit."

followed, so when he says 'Allahu Akbar,' say 'Allahu
Akbar' and when he bows, bow and when he prostrates,
prostrate and if he prays standing pray, standing. After

interfere with them except legally and their reckoning
will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he
asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life
and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever

place) behind the station (of Abraham) and then performed
the Tawaf (Sa'i) of Safa and Marwa, and verily in Allah's

Prophet faced the Ka'ba and the fools amongst the people
namely "the Jews" said, "What has turned them from their
Qibla (Bait-ul-Maqdis) which they formerly observed""
(Allah revealed): "Say: 'To Allah belongs the East and the
West. He guides whom he will to a straight path'." (2:142)

out. He saw some of the Ansar praying the 'Asr prayer with

usual"), and when he had finished the prayers he was
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Has there been any change in
the prayers?" He said, "What is it?' The people said, "You
have prayed so much and so much." So the Prophet bent his
legs, faced the Qibla and performed two prostrations (of
Sahu) and finished his prayers with Tasiim (by turning his
face to right and left saying: 'As-Salamu'Alaikum-Warahmat-ullah').
When he turned his face to us he said, "If there had been
anything changed in the prayer, surely I would have
informed you but I am a human being like you and liable to
forget like you. So if I forget remind me and if anyone of
you is doubtful about his prayer, he should follow what he
thinks to be correct and complete his prayer accordingly
and finish it and do two prostrations (of Sahu)."
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 395:
Narrated 'Umar (bin Al-Khattab):
My Lord agreed with me in three things:
1. I said,"O Allah's Apostle, I wish we took the
station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of our
prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you
(people) the station of Abraham as a place of prayer (for
some of your prayers e.g. two Rakat of Tawaf of Ka'ba)".
(2.125)
2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the
women, I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I wish you ordered your
wives to cover themselves from the men because good and
bad ones talk to them.' So the verse of the veiling of the
women was revealed.
3. Once the wives of the Prophet made a united front
against the Prophet and I said to them, 'It may be if he
(the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah)
will give him instead of you wives better than you.' So
this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed." (66.5).

they turned their faces towards Ka'ba (at Mecca).

it rains the water flows in the valley between me and my
people so I cannot go to their mosque to lead them in
prayer. O Allah's Apostle! I wish you would come to my
house and pray in it so that I could take that place as a
Musalla. Allah's Apostle said. "Allah willing, I will do
so." Next day after the sun rose high, Allah's Apostle and

enter. I gave him permission and he did not sit on
entering the house but said to me, "Where do you like me
to pray?" I pointed to a place in my house. So Allah's

got up and aligned behind him and offered a two-Rak'at
prayer and ended it with Taslim. We requested him to stay
for a meal called "Khazira" which we had prepared for him.
Many members of our family gathered in the house and one
of them said, "Where is Malik bin Al-Dukhaishin or Ibn Al-Dukhshun?"
One of them replied, "He is a hypocrite and does not love
Allah and His Apostle." Hearing that, Allah's Apostle
said, "Do not say so. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None
has the right to be worshipped but Allah' for Allah's sake
only?" He said, "Allah and His Apostle know better. We
have seen him helping and advising hypocrites."

fire for those who say, 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah' for Allah's sake only."

ordered that a mosque should be built and sent for some
people of Banu-An-Najjar and said, "O Banu An-Najjar!
Suggest to me the price of this (walled) piece of land of
yours." They replied, "No! By Allah! We do not demand its
price except from Allah." Anas added: There were graves of
pagans in it and some of it was unleveled and there were
some date-palm trees in it. The Prophet ordered that the
graves of the pagans be dug out and the unleveled land be
level led and the date-palm trees be cut down . (So all
that was done). They aligned these cut date-palm trees
towards the Qibla of the mosque (as a wall) and they also
built two stone side-walls (of the mosque). His companions
brought the stones while reciting some poetic verses. The
Prophet was with them and he kept on saying, "There is no
goodness except that of the Hereafter, O Allah! So please
forgive the Ansars and the emigrants. "

them while he was in his house. So he came to us after
raising the curtain of his room. The Prophet said, "O Ka'b
bin Malik!" I replied, "Labaik, O Allah's Apostle." He
gestured with his hand to me to reduce the debt to one
half. I said, "O Allah's Apostle have done it." Allah's
Apostle said (to Ibn Hadrad), "Get up and pay it."

some people) three men came, two of them came in front of
Allah's Apostle and the third one went away, and then one
of them found a place in the circle and sat there while
the second man 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 betook himself to Allah and so Allah accepted him and
accommodated him; the second felt shy before Allah so
Allah did the same for him and 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.

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 465:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) I had seen my parents
following Islam since I attained the age of puberty. Not a
day passed but the Prophet visited us, both in the
mornings and evenings. My father Abii Bakr thought of
building a mosque in the courtyard of his house and he did
so. He used to pray and recite the Qur'an in it. The pagan
women and their children used to stand by him and look at
him with surprise. Abu Bakr was a Softhearted person and
could not help weeping while reciting the Quran. The
chiefs of the Quraish pagans became afraid of that (i.e.
that their children and women might be affected by the
recitation of Quran)."
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 466:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The prayer offered in congregation
is twenty five times more superior (in reward) to the
prayer offered alone in one's house or in a business
center, because if one performs ablution and does it
perfectly, and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole
intention of praying, then for each step which he takes
towards the mosque, Allah upgrades him a degree in reward
and (forgives) crosses out one sin till he enters the
mosque. When he enters the mosque he is considered in
prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer and the
angels keep on asking for Allah's forgiveness for him and
they keep on saying: 'O Allah! Be Merciful to him, O
Allah! Forgive him, as long as he keeps on sitting at his
praying place and does not pass wind. (See Hadith No.
620).

Narrates Ibn Sirin:
Abu Huraira said, "Allah's Apostle led us in one of the
two 'Isha' prayers (Abu Huraira named that prayer but I
forgot it)." Abu Huraira added, "He prayed two Rakat and
then finished the prayer with Tasllm. He stood up near a
piece of wood Lying across the mosque and leaned on it in
such a way as if he was angry. Then he put his right hand
over the left and clasped his hands by interlacing his
fingers and then put his J right cheek on the back of his
left hand. The people who were in haste left the mosque
through its gates. They wondered whether the prayer was
reduced. And amongst them were Abu Bakr and 'Umar but they
hesitated to ask the Prophet. A long-handed man called
Dhul-Yadain asked the Prophet, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have
you; forgotten or has the prayer been reduced?' The
Prophet replied, 'I have neither forgotten nor has the
prayer been reduced' The Prophet added, 'Is what Dhul
Yadain has said true?' They (the people) said, 'Yes, it is
true.' The Prophet stood up again and led the prayer,
completing the remaining prayer, forgotten by him, and
performed Talsrm, and then said, 'Allahu Akbar.' And then
he did a prostration as he used to prostrate or longer
than that. He then raised his head saying, 'Allahu Akbar;
he then again said, 'Allahu Akbar', and prostrated as he
used to prostrate or longer than that. Then he raised his
head and said, 'Allahu Akbar.' " (The subnarrator added,
"I think that they asked (Ibn Sirin) whether the Prophet
completed the prayer with Taslim. He replied, "I heard
that 'Imran bin Husain had said, 'Then he (the Prophet)
did Taslim.")
