Ka'ba) among the Muslims'. I said, 'You cannot do
that.' 'Umar said, 'Why?' I said, 'Your two

them said, "Then set forth an example for
him." Some of them said, "He is
sleeping." The others said, "His eyes
are sleeping but his heart is awake." Then
they said, "His example is that of a man who
has built a house and then offered therein a
banquet and sent an inviter (messenger) to invite
the people. So whoever accepted the invitation of
the inviter, entered the house and ate of the
banquet, and whoever did not accept the invitation
of the inviter, did not enter the house, nor did
he eat of the banquet." Then the angels said,
"Interpret this example to him so that he may
understand it." Some of them said, "He
is sleeping.'' The others said, "His eyes are
sleeping but his heart is awake." And then
they said, "The houses stands for Paradise
and the call maker is Muhammad; and whoever obeys
Muhammad, obeys Allah; and whoever disobeys
Muhammad, disobeys Allah. Muhammad separated the

distinguished from the bad, and the believers from

his people obeyed him and fled at night proceeding
stealthily till they were safe, while another
group of them disbelieved him and stayed at their
places till morning when the army came upon them,

Allah' And whoever says: None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah.' waves his wealth and his
life from me unless he deserves a legal punishment

Bakr said, "By Allah, I will fight him who
discriminates between Zakat and prayers, for Zakat
is the Compulsory right to be taken from the
wealth By Allah, if they refuse to give me even a
tying rope which they use to give to Allah's

it." 'Umar said, 'By Allah, It was nothing,

Abu Bakr to the fight, and I came to know for
certain that was the truth."

of those whom 'Umar used to keep near him, as the
Qurra' (learned men knowing Quran by heart) were
the people of Umar's meetings and his advisors
whether they were old or young. 'Uyaina said to
his nephew, "O my nephew! Have you an
approach to this chief so as to get for me the
permission to see him?" His nephew said,
"I will get the permission for you to see
him." (Ibn 'Abbas added: ) So he took the
permission for 'Uyaina, and when the latter
entered, he said, "O the son of Al-Khattab!
By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision
nor judge among us with justice." On that 'Umar
became so furious that he intended to harm him.
Al-Hurr, said, "O Chief of the
Believers!" Allah said to His Apostle 'Hold
to forgiveness, command what is good (right), and
leave the foolish (i.e. do not punish them).'
(7.199) and this person is among the
foolish." By Allah, 'Umar did not overlook

strictly." (See Hadith No. 166, Vol. 6)

offering prayer. I asked, "What is wrong with
the people?" She pointed towards the sky with
her hand and said, Subhan Allah!'' I asked her,
"Is there a sign?" She nodded with her
head meaning, yes. When Allah's Apostle finished
(the prayer), he glorified and praised Allah and
said, "There is not anything that I have not
seen before but I have seen now at this place of
mine, even Paradise and Hell. It has been revealed
to me that you people will be put to trial nearly
like the trial of Ad-Dajjal, in your graves. As
for the true believer or a Muslim (the
sub-narrator is not sure as to which of the two
(words Asma' had said) he will say, 'Muhammad came
with clear signs from Allah, and we responded to
him (accepted his teachings) and believed (what he
said)' It will be said (to him) 'Sleep in peace;
we have known that you were a true believer who
believed with certainty.' As for a hypocrite or a
doubtful person, (the sub-narrator is not sure as
to which word Asma' said) he will say, 'I do not
know, but I heard the people saying something and
so I said the same.' "

might come out. The Prophet then said, "You
continued doing what I saw you doing till I was
afraid that this (Tarawih prayer) might be
enjoined on you, and if it were enjoined on you,
you would not continue performing it. Therefore, O
people! Perform your prayers at your homes, for

Qil and Qal (idle useless talk or that you talk
too much about others), (2) Asking too many
questions (in disputed Religious matters); (3) And
wasting one's wealth by extravagance; (4) and to
be undutiful to one's mother (5) and to bury the

events before it. Then he said, "Whoever
wants to ask me any question, may do so, for by
Allah, you will not ask me about anything but I
will inform you of its answer as long as I am at
this place of mine." On this, the Ansar wept
violently, and Allah's Apostle kept on saying,
"Ask Me! " Then a man got up and asked,
''Where will my entrance be, O Allah's
Apostle?" The Prophet said, "(You will
go to) the Fire." Then 'Abdullah bin Hudhaifa
got up and asked, "Who is my father, O
Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet replied,
"Your father is Hudhaifa." The Prophet
then kept on saying (angrily), "Ask me! Ask
me!" 'Umar then knelt on his knees and said,
"We have accepted Allah as our Lord and Islam
as our religion and Muhammad as an Apostle."
Allah's Apostle became quiet when 'Umar said that.

I was with the
Prophet at one of the farms of Medina while he was
leaning on a date palm leaf-stalk. He passed by a
group of Jews and some of them said to the other,
Ask him (the Prophet) about the spirit. Some
others said, "Do not ask him, lest he should
tell you what you dislike" But they went up
to him and said, "O Abal Qasim! Inform us
bout the spirit." The Prophet stood up for a
while, waiting. I realized that he was being
Divinely Inspired, so I kept away from him till
the inspiration was over. Then the Prophet said,
"(O Muhammad) they ask you regarding the
spirit, Say: The spirit its knowledge is with my
Lord (i.e., nobody has its knowledge except
Allah)" (17.85) (This is a miracle of the
Qur'an that all the scientists up till now do not
know about the spirit, i.e, how life comes to a
body and how it goes away at its death) (See

Lord feeds me and makes me drink." But the
people did not give up Al-Wisal, so the Prophet
fasted Al-Wisal with them for two days or two
nights, and then they saw the crescent whereupon
the Prophet said, "If the crescent had
delayed, I would have continued fasting (because
of you)," as if he wanted to vanquish them
completely (because they had refused to give up Al
Wisal).

scroll," And then he unrolled it, and behold,
in it was written what sort of camels were to be
given as blood money, and there was also written
in it: 'Medina is a sanctuary form 'Air (mountain)
to such and such place so whoever innovates in it
an heresy or commits a sin therein, he will incur
the curse of Allah, the angles, and all the people
and Allah will not accept his compulsory or
optional good deeds.' There was also written in
it: 'The asylum (pledge of protection) granted by
any Muslims is one and the same, (even a Muslim of
the lowest status is to be secured and respected
by all the other Muslims, and whoever betrays a
Muslim in this respect (by violating the pledge)
will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all

Volume

Narrated Ibn Abi
Mulaika:
Once the two
righteous men, i.e., Abu Bakr and 'Umar were on
the verge of destruction (and that was because):
When the delegate of Bani Tamim came to the
Prophet, one of them (either Abu Bakr or 'Umar)
recommended Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-Tamimi Al-Hanzali,
the brother of Bani Majashi (to be appointed as
their chief), while the other recommended somebody
else. Abu Bakr said to 'Umar, "You intended
only to oppose me." 'Umar said, "I did
not intend to oppose you!" Then their voices
grew louder in front of the Prophet whereupon
there was revealed: 'O you who believe! Do not
raise your voices above the voice of the
Prophet..a great reward.' (49.2-3) Ibn Az-Zubair
said, 'Thence forward when 'Umar talked to the
Prophet, he would talk like one who whispered a
secret and would even fail to make the Prophet
hear him, in which case the Prophet would ask him
(to repeat his words)."
Volume

Narrated 'Aisha:
(the mother of
believers) Allah's Apostle during his fatal
ailment said, "Order Abu Bakr to lead the
people in prayer." I said, "If Abu Bakr
stood at your place (in prayers, the people will
not be able to hear him because of his weeping, so
order 'Umar to lead the people in prayer." He
again said, "Order Abu Bakr to lead the
people in prayer " Then I said to Hafsa,
"Will you say (to the Prophet), 'If Abu Bakr
stood at your place, the people will not be able
to hear him be cause of his weeping, so order 'Umar
to lead the people in prayer?" Hafsa did so,
whereupon Allah's Apostle said, "You are like
the companions of Joseph (See Qur'an, 12:30-32).
Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer."
Hafsa then said to me, "I have never received
any good from you!"
Volume
9, Book 92, Number 407:
Narrated Sahl bin
Sa'd As-Sa'idi:
'Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani
came to 'Asim bin 'Adi and said, "If a man
found another man with his wife and killed him,
would you sentence the husband to death (in Qisas,)
i.e., equality in punishment)? O 'Asim! Please ask
Allah's Apostle about this matter on my
behalf." 'Asim asked the Prophet but the
Prophet disliked the question and disapproved of
it. 'Asim returned and informed 'Uwaimir that the
Prophet disliked that type of question. 'Uwaimir
said, "By Allah, I will go (personally) to
the Prophet." 'Uwaimir came to the Prophet
when Allah had already revealed Qur'anic Verses
(in that respect), after 'Asim had left (the
Prophet ). So the Prophet said to 'Uwaimir,
"Allah has revealed Qur'anic Verses regarding
you and your wife." The Prophet then called
for them, and they came and carried out the order
of Lian.
Then 'Uwaimir said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Now if I kept her with
me, I would be accused of telling a lie." So
'Uwaimir divorced her although the Prophet did not
order him to do so. Later on this practice of
divorcing became the tradition of couples involved
in a case of Li'an. The Prophet said (to the
people). "Wait for her! If she delivers a red
short (small) child like a Wahra (a short red
animal). then I will be of the opinion that he ('Uwaimir)
has told a lie but if she delivered a black
big-eyed one with big buttocks, then I will be of
the opinion that he has told the truth about
her." 'Ultimately she gave birth to a child
that proved the accusation. (See Hadith No. 269,
Vol. 6)
Volume
9, Book 92, Number 408:
Narrated Malik bin
Aus An-Nasri:
I proceeded till I
entered upon 'Umar (and while I was sitting
there), his gate-keeper Yarfa came to him and
said, " 'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman, Az-Zubair and
Sa'd ask your permission to come in." 'Umar
allowed them. So they entered, greeted, and sat
down. (After a while the gatekeeper came) and
said, "Shall I admit 'Ali and 'Abbas?'' 'Umar
allowed them to enter. Al-'Abbas said "O
Chief of the believers! Judge between me and the
oppressor ('Ali)." Then there was a dispute
(regarding the property of Bani Nadir) between
them ('Abbas and 'Ali). 'Uthman and his companions
said, "O Chief of the Believers! Judge
between them and relieve one from the other."
Umar said, "Be patient! beseech you by Allah,
with Whose permission the Heaven and the Earth
Exist! Do you know that Allah's Apostle said, 'Our
property is not to be inherited, and whatever we
leave is to be given in charity,' and by this
Allah's Apostle meant himself?" On that the
group said, "He verily said so." 'Umar
then faced 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "I
beseech you both by Allah, do you both know that
Allah's Apostle said so?" They both replied,
"Yes". 'Umar then said, "Now I am
talking to you about this matter (in detail) .
Allah favored Allah's Apostle with some of this
wealth which He did not give to anybody else, as
Allah said: 'What Allah bestowed as Fai (Booty on
His Apostle for which you made no expedition... '
(59.6)
So that property
was totally meant for Allah's Apostle, yet he did
not collect it and ignore you, nor did he withhold
it with your exclusion, but he gave it to you and
distributed it among you till this much of it was
left behind, and the Prophet, used to spend of
this as the yearly expenditures of his family and
then take what remained of it and spent it as he
did with (other) Allah's wealth. The Prophet did
so during all his lifetime, and I beseech you by
Allah, do you know that?" They replied,
"Yes." 'Umar then addressed 'Ali and 'Abbas,
saying, "I beseech you both by Allah, do you
know that?" Both of them replied,
"Yes." 'Umar added, "Then Allah
took His Apostle unto Him. Abu Bakr then said 'I
am the successor of Allah's Apostle' and took over
all the Prophet's property and disposed of it in
the same way as Allah's Apostle used to do, and
you were present then." Then he turned to
'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "You both claim
that Abu Bakr did so-and-so in managing the
property, but Allah knows that Abu Bakr was
honest, righteous, intelligent, and a follower of
what is right in managing it.
Then Allah took Abu
Bakr unto Him, 'I said: I am the successor of
Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr.' So I took over the
property for two years and managed it in the same
way as Allah's Apostle, and Abu Bakr used to do.
Then you both ('Ali and 'Abbas) came to me and
asked for the same thing! (O 'Abbas! You came to
me to ask me for your share from nephew's
property; and this ('Ali) came to me asking for
his wives share from her father's property, and I
said to you both, 'If you wish, I will place it in
your custody on condition that you both will
manage it in the same way as Allah's Apostle and
Abu Bakr did and as I have been doing since I took
charge of managing it; otherwise, do not speak to
me anymore about it.'
Then you both said,
'Give it to us on that (condition).' So I gave it
to you on that condition. Now I beseech you by
Allah, did I not give it to them on that
condition?" The group (whom he had been
addressing) replied, "Yes." 'Umar then
addressed 'Abbas and 'Ali saying, "I beseech
you both by Allah, didn't I give you all that
property on that condition?" They said,
"Yes." 'Umar then said, "Are you
now seeking a verdict from me other than that? By
Him with Whose Permission the Heaven and the Earth
exists I will not give any verdict other than that
till the Hour is established; and if you both are
unable to manage this property, then you can hand
it back to me, and I will be sufficient for it on
your behalf." (See, Hadith No. 326, Vol. 4)

trees, and whoever innovates an heresy in it or
commits a sin therein, will incur the curse of

Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "Horses may be used for three purposes:
For a man they may be a source of reward (in the
Hereafter); for another, a means of protection;
and for another, a source of sin. The man for whom
they are a source of reward, is the one who keeps
them for Allah's Cause and ties them with long
ropes and lets them graze in a pasture or garden.
Whatever those long ropes allow them to eat of
that pasture or garden, will be written as good
deeds for him and if they break their ropes and
run one or two rounds, then all their footsteps
and dung will be written as good deeds for him,
and if they pass a river and drink from it though
he has had no intention of watering them, even
then, that will be written as good deeds for him.
So such horses are a source of reward for that
man. For the man who keeps horses for his
livelihood in order not to ask others for help or
beg his bread, and at the same time he does not
forget Allah's right of what he earns through them
and of their backs (that he presents it to be used
in Allah's Cause), such horses are a shelter for
him (from poverty). For the man who keeps them
just out of pride and for showing off, they are a
source of sin." Then Allah's Apostle was
asked about donkeys. He said, "Allah has not
revealed anything to me regarding them except this
comprehensive Verse:
"Then anyone
who has done good, equal to the weight of an atom
(or a small ant) shall see it, and any one who has
done evil, equal to the weight of an atom (or a
small ant) shall see it." (99.7-8)

their scripture and distorted it, and wrote the
scripture with their own hands and said, 'It is
from Allah,' to sell it for a little gain. Does
not the knowledge which has come to you prevent
you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah,
we have never seen any man from them asking you
regarding what has been revealed to you!"

Narrated 'Aisha:
After the
slanderers had given a forged statement against
her, Allah's Apostle called 'Ali bin Abi Talib and
Usama bin Zaid when the Divine Inspiration was
delayed. He wanted to ask them and consult them
about the question of divorcing me. Usama gave his
evidence that was based on what he knew about my
innocence, but 'Ali said, "Allah has not put
restrictions on you and there are many women other
than her. Furthermore you may ask the slave girl
who will tell you the truth." So the Prophet
asked Barira (my salve girl), "Have you seen
anything that may arouse your suspicion?" She
replied, "I have not seen anything more than
that she is a little girl who sleeps, leaving the
dough of her family (unguarded) that the domestic
goats come and eat it." Then the Prophet
stood on the pulpit and said, "O Muslims! Who
will help me against the man who has harmed me by
slandering my wife? By Allah, I know nothing about
my family except good." The narrator added:
Then the Prophet mentioned the innocence of 'Aisha.
(See Hadith No. 274, Vol. 6)
Volume
9, Book 92, Number 463:
Narrated Aisha:
Allah's Apostle
addressed the people, and after praising and
glorifying Allah, he said, "What do you
suggest me regarding those people who are abusing
my wife? I have never known anything bad about
her." The sub-narrator, 'Urwa, said: When 'Aisha
was told of the slander, she said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Will you allow me to go to my parents'
home?" He allowed her and sent a slave along
with her. An Ansari man said, "Subhanaka! It
is not right for us to speak about this. Subhanaka!
This is a great lie!"

9, Book 92, Number 464:
Narrated Ata:
I heard Jabir bin
'Abdullah in a gathering saying, "We, the
companions of Allah's Apostle assumed the state of
Ihram to perform only Hajj without 'Umra."
Jabir added, "The Prophet arrived (at Mecca)
on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we arrived
(in Mecca) the Prophet ordered us to finish the
state of Ihram, saying, "Finish your lhram
and go to your wives (for sexual relation)."
Jabir added, "The Prophet did not oblige us
(to go to our wives) but he only made that legal
for us. Then he heard that we were saying,
"When there remains only five days between us
and the Day of Arafat he orders us to finish our
Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we
will proceed to 'Arafat with our male organs
dribbling with semen?' (Jabir pointed out with his
hand illustrating what he was saying). Allah's
Apostle stood up and said, 'You (People) know that
I am the most Allah-fearing, the most truthful and
the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among
you. If I had not brought the Hadi with me, I
would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so
finish your Ihram. If I had formerly known what I
came to know lately, I would not have brought the
Hadi with me.' So we finished our Ihram and
listened to the Prophet and obeyed him." (See
Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)

Narrated 'Abdullah
Al Muzam:
The Prophet said,
"Perform (an optional) prayer before Maghrib
prayer." (He repeated it thrice) and the
third time he said, "Whoever wants to offer
it can do so," lest the people should take it
as a Sunna (tradition). (See Hadith No. 277, Vol.
2)
Volume

Narrated Jundab bin
'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle
said, "Recite (and study) the Quran as long
as you are in agreement as to its interpretation
and meanings, but when you have differences
regarding its interpretation and meanings, then
you should stop reciting it (for the time being.)
(See Hadith No 581, Vol. 6)
Volume

Narrated Jundab bin
'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle
said, "Recite (and study) the Qur'an as long
as your hearts are in agreement as to its
meanings, but if you have differences as regards
its meaning, stop reading it then."
Volume
9, Book 92, Number 468:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
When the time of
the death of the Prophet approached while there
were some men in the house, and among them was 'Umar
bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet said, "Come near
let me write for you a writing after which you
will never go astray." 'Umar said, "The
Prophet is seriously ill, and you have the Quran,
so Allah's Book is sufficient for us." The
people in the house differed and disputed. Some of
them said, "Come near so that Allah's Apostle
may write for you a writing after which you will
not go astray," while some of them said what
'Umar said. When they made much noise and differed
greatly before the Prophet, he said to them,
"Go away and leave me." Ibn 'Abbas used
to say, "It was a great disaster that their
difference and noise prevented Allah's Apostle
from writing that writing for them.
