Huraira:
While the Prophet
was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin
came and asked him, "When would the Hour
(Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle
continued his talk, so some people said that
Allah's Apostle had heard the question, but did
not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of 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 (Doomsday)." The Bedouin
said, "How will that be lost?" The
Prophet said, "When the power or authority
comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for
the Hour (Doomsday.)"

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. "

sacrifice)" We replied, "Yes." He
further asked, "Which month is this?" We
again kept quiet, thinking that he might give it
another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the

"Yes." He said, "Verily! Your
blood, property and honor are sacred to one
another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this
day of yours, in this month of yours and in this
city of yours. It is incumbent upon those who are
present to inform those who are absent because

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:

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.)"

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). "

who are the 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

it to its owner if he comes." Then the person
asked about the lost camel. On that, the Prophet
got angry and his cheeks or his Face became red

it has its water container, and its feet and it

fire." On that a woman asked, "If only
two die?" He replied, "Even two (will
shield her from the Hell-fire)."

Narrated Abu Said
Al-Khudri:
as above (the sub
narrators are different). Abu Huraira qualified
the three children referred to in the above

1, Book 3, Number 103:
Narrated Ibn Abu
Mulaika:
Whenever 'Aisha
(the wife of the Prophet) heard anything which she
did not understand, she used to ask again till she
understood it completely. Aisha said: "Once
the Prophet said, "Whoever will be called to
account (about his deeds on the Day of
Resurrection) will surely be punished." I
said, "Doesn't Allah say: "He surely
will receive an easy reckoning." (84.8) The
Prophet replied, "This means only the
presentation of the accounts but whoever will be
argued about his account, will certainly be
ruined."

Narrated Said:
Abu Shuraih said,
"When 'Amr bin Said was sending the troops to
Mecca (to fight 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair) I said to
him, 'O chief! Allow me 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

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

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:

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

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).

One night Allah's
Apostle got up and said, "Subhan Allah! How
many afflictions have been descended tonight 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

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

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

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)

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.

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

Narrated Anas:
I was informed that
the Prophet had said to Mu'adh, "Whosoever
will meet Allah without associating anything in

replied, "No, I am afraid, lest they should

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."

Apostle said, "Amongst the trees there is a
tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like

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."

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
