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."

Whenever we approach near a (hostile) nation (to
fight) then evil will be the morning of those who
have 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

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

from the captives.' Anas added: The Prophet then
manumitted her and married her."

(as Mahr)?" He said, "Her self was her
Mahr for he manumitted her and then married
her." Anas added, "While on the way, Um
Sulaim dressed her for marriage (ceremony) and at
night she sent her as a bride to the Prophet . So
the Prophet was a bridegroom and he said, 'Whoever
has anything (food) should bring it.' He spread
out a leather sheet (for the food) and some
brought dates and others cooking butter. (I think

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)."

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

does not love Allah and His Apostle." Hearing
that, Allah's Apostle said, "Do not say so.

to be worshipped but Allah' for Allah's sake
only?" He said, "Allah and His Apostle

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

Narrated Abu Said
Al-Khudri:
The Prophet
delivered a sermon and said, "Allah gave a
choice to one of (His) slaves either to choose
this world or what is with Him in the Hereafter.
He chose the latter." Abu Bakr wept. I said
lo myself, "Why is this Sheikh weeping, if
Allah gave choice to one (of His) slaves either to
choose this world or what is with Him in the Here
after and he chose the latter?" And that
slave was Allah's Apostle himself. Abu Bakr knew
more than us. The Prophet said, "O Abu Bakr!
Don't weep. The Prophet added: Abu- Bakr has
favored me much with his property and company. If
I were to take a Khalil from mankind I would
certainly have taken Abu Bakr but the Islamic
brotherhood and friendship is sufficient. Close
all the gates in the mosque except that of Abu
Bakr.

door (from inside). They stayed there for an hour,
and then came out." Ibn 'Umar added, "I
quickly went to Bilal and asked him (whether the
Prophet had prayed). Bilal replied, 'He prayed in

of his room. The Prophet said, "O Ka'b bin

it."

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

and went away, so Allah turned His face from him
likewise.

(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)."

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).

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.")
