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.)"

and these trials will be like the trials of Masiah-ad-Dajjal or

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

something good (religious deeds) and that we may also inform our
people whom we have left behind (at home) and that we may enter

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

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).

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.

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."

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).

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."

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.

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).

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)

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.

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

replied, "No, I am afraid, lest they should depend upon it
(absolutely)."

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."

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."

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

Allah's Apostle had said the last statement or not?"

(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).
