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 Hour

persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"

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.

"Verily! Your blood, property and honor are sacred to one another (i.e.

"Do you know anyone who is more learned than you? Moses replied:

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 retracing their foot-steps, and found

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 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.)"

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). "

delegates?" They replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabi'a."
Then the Prophet said to them, "Welcome, O people (or said, "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

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,

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

you, for your brother (another person) or for the wolf."

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

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 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:

Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 110:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
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:
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:
"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:
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:
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.

Narrated Abu At-Tufail:
the above mentioned Statement of 'Ali.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 130:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
"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:
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?"
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).
