with bad names You still have some characteristics of ignorance. Your slaves
are your brothers and Allah has put them under your command. So whoever has a

battles) in Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in
Allah and His Apostles, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or
booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the
battle as a martyr). Had I not found it difficult for my followers, then I

alive, and then again martyred in His cause."

When the Prophet came to Medina, he stayed first with his
grandfathers or maternal uncles from Ansar. He offered his prayers facing
Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months, but he wished that
he could pray facing the Ka'ba (at Mecca). The first prayer which he offered
facing the Ka'ba was the 'Asr prayer in the company of some people. Then one of
those who had offered that prayer with him came out and passed by some people
in a mosque who were bowing during their prayers (facing Jerusalem). He said
addressing them, "By Allah, I testify that I have prayed with Allah's
Apostle facing Mecca (Ka'ba).' Hearing that, those people changed their
direction towards the Ka'ba immediately. Jews and the people of the scriptures
used to be pleased to see the Prophet facing Jerusalem in prayers but when he
changed his direction towards the Ka'ba, during the prayers, they disapproved
of it.
Al-Bara' added, "Before we changed our direction towards the
Ka'ba (Mecca) in prayers, some Muslims had died or had been killed and we did
not know what to say about them (regarding their prayers.) Allah then revealed:
And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. the prayers of
those Muslims were valid).' " (2:143).

tired (of giving rewards) but (surely) you will get tired and the best deed
(act of Worship) in the sight of Allah is that which is done regularly."

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Whoever said "None has the right to

of celebration." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked, "Which is that
verse?" The Jew replied, "This day I have perfected your religion For
you, completed My favor upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as your
religion." (5:3) 'Umar replied,"No doubt, we know when and where this

near and then we came to know that he was asking about Islam. Allah's Apostle
said, "You have to offer prayers perfectly five times in a day and night
(24 hours)." The man asked, "Is there any more (praying)?"
Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but if you want to offer the Nawafil prayers
(you can)." Allah's Apostle further said to him: "You have to observe
fasts during the month of Ramad, an." The man asked, "Is there any
more fasting?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but if you want to
observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)" Then Allah's Apostle further said to
him, "You have to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)." The man asked,
"Is there any thing other than the Zakat for me to pay?" Allah's
Apostle replied, "No, unless you want to give alms of your own." And
then that man retreated saying, "By Allah! I will neither do less nor more
than this." Allah's Apostle said, "If what he said is true, then he
will be successful (i.e. he will be granted Paradise)."

Qirat is like the size of the (Mount) Uhud. He who offers the funeral prayer
only and returns before the burial, will return with the reward of one Qirat
only."

night of decree (Al-Qadr) but there happened a quarrel between two Muslim men.
The Prophet said, "I came out to inform you about (the date of) the night
of Al-Qadr, but as so and so and so and so quarrelled, its knowledge was taken
away (I forgot it) and maybe it was better for you. Now look for it in the 7th,
the 9th and the 5th (of the last 10 nights of the month of Ramadan)."
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 47:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some
people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked, "What is faith?" Allah's
Apostle replied, 'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with
Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked,
"What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah
Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity
(Zakat) and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further
asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied,
"To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state
of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you." Then he
further asked, "When will the Hour be established?" Allah's Apostle replied,
"The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will
inform you about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.
2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing
with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of
five things which nobody knows except Allah.
The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the
knowledge of the Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the
Prophet asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then
the Prophet said, "That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their
religion." Abu 'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a
part of faith.
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 48:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
I was informed by Abu Sufyan that Heraclius said to him, "I
asked you whether they (followers of Muhammad) were increasing or decreasing.
You replied that they were increasing. And in fact, this is the way of true
Faith till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there
was anybody, who, after embracing his (the Prophets) religion (Islam) became
displeased and discarded it. You replied in the negative, and in fact, this is
(a sign of) true faith. When its delight enters the heart and mixes with them
completely, nobody can be displeased with it."
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 49:
Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Both legal and illegal things are
evident but in between them there are doubtful (suspicious) things and most of
the people have no knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself from these
suspicious things saves his religion and his honor. And whoever indulges in
these suspicious things is like a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the Hima
(private pasture) of someone else and at any moment he is liable to get in it.
(O people!) Beware! Every king has a Hima and the Hima of Allah on the earth is
His illegal (forbidden) things. Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body
if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt
the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart.
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 50:
Narrated Abu Jamra:
I used to sit with Ibn 'Abbas and he made me sit on his sitting
place. He requested me to stay with him in order that he might give me a share
from his property. So I stayed with him for two months. Once he told (me) that
when the delegation of the tribe of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet, the
Prophet asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (Or) who are the
delegate?" They replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabi'a." Then
the Prophet said to them, "Welcome! O people (or O delegation of 'Abdul
Qais)! Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "O
Allah's Apostle! We cannot come to you except in the sacred month and there is
the infidel tribe of Mudar intervening between you and us. So please order us
to do something good (religious deeds) so that we may inform our people whom we
have left behind (at home), and that we may enter Paradise (by acting on
them)." Then they asked about drinks (what is legal and what is illegal).
The Prophet ordered them to do four things and forbade them from four things.
He ordered them to believe in Allah Alone and asked them, "Do you know
what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and
His Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet said, "It means:
1. To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah
and Muhammad is Allah's Apostle.
2. To offer prayers perfectly
3. To pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)
4. To observe fast during the month of Ramadan.
5. And to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in
Allah's Cause).
Then he forbade them four things, namely, Hantam, Dubba,' Naqir
Ann Muzaffat or Muqaiyar; (These were the names of pots in which Alcoholic
drinks were prepared) (The Prophet mentioned the container of wine and he meant
the wine itself). The Prophet further said (to them): "Memorize them
(these instructions) and convey them to the people whom you have left
behind."
Volume 1, Book 2, Number 51:
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
Allah's Apostle said, "The reward of deeds depends upon the
intention and every person will get the reward according to what he has
intended. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his emigration
was for Allah and His Apostle. And whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or
for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

Narrated Ziyad bin'Ilaqa:
I heard Jarir bin 'Abdullah (Praising Allah). On the day when
Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba died, he (Jarir) got up (on the pulpit) and thanked and
praised Allah and said, "Be afraid of Allah alone Who has none along with
Him to be worshipped.(You should) be calm and quiet till the (new) chief comes
to you and he will come to you soon. Ask Allah's forgiveness for your (late)
chief because he himself loved to forgive others." Jarir added, "Amma
badu (now then), I went to the Prophet and said, 'I give my pledge of
allegiance to you for Islam." The Prophet conditioned (my pledge) for me
to be sincere and true to every Muslim so I gave my pledge to him for this. By
the Lord of this mosque! I am sincere and true to you (Muslims). Then Jarir
asked for Allah's forgiveness and came down (from the pulpit).
