I heard Abi `Amr 'Ash-Shaibani saying, "The owner of this house." he pointed to `Abdullah's house,
"said, 'I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) 'Which deed is loved most by Allah?" He replied, 'To offer prayers at their
early (very first) stated times.' " `Abdullah asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"To be good and dutiful to one's parents," `Abdullah asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" The
Prophet (ﷺ) said, "To participate in Jihad for Allah's Cause." `Abdullah added, "The Prophet (ﷺ) narrated to me
these three things, and if I had asked more, he would have told me more."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While three persons were traveling, they were overtaken by rain and they took
shelter in a cave in a mountain. A big rock fell from the mountain over the mouth of the cave and
blocked it. They said to each other. 'Think of such good (righteous) deeds which, you did for Allah's
sake only, and invoke Allah by giving reference to those deeds so that Allah may relieve you from
your difficulty. one of them said, 'O Allah! I had my parents who were very old and I had small
children for whose sake I used to work as a shepherd. When I returned to them at night and milked
(the sheep), I used to start giving the milk to my parents first before giving to my children. And one
day I went far away in search of a grazing place (for my sheep), and didn't return home till late at
night and found that my parents had slept. I milked (my livestock) as usual and brought the milk
vessel and stood at their heads, and I disliked to wake them up from their sleep, and I also disliked to
give the milk to my children before my parents though my children were crying (from hunger) at my
feet.
So this state of mine and theirs continued till the day dawned. (O Allah!) If you considered that I had
done that only for seeking Your pleasure, then please let there be an opening through which we can
see the sky.' So Allah made for them an opening through which they could see the sky. Then the
second person said, 'O Allah! I had a she-cousin whom I loved as much as a passionate man love a
woman. I tried to seduce her but she refused till I paid her one-hundred Dinars So I worked hard till I
collected one hundred Dinars and went to her with that But when I sat in between her legs (to have
sexual intercourse with her), she said, 'O Allah's slave! Be afraid of Allah ! Do not deflower me
except legally (by marriage contract). So I left her O Allah! If you considered that I had done that only
for seeking Your pleasure then please let the rock move a little to have a (wider) opening.'
So Allah shifted that rock to make the opening wider for them. And the last (third) person said 'O
Allah ! I employed a laborer for wages equal to a Faraq (a certain measure: of rice, and when he had
finished his job he demanded his wages, but when I presented his due to him, he gave it up and
refused to take it. Then I kept on sowing that rice for him (several times) till managed to buy with the
price of the yield, some cows and their shepherd Later on the laborer came to me an said. '(O Allah's
slave!) Be afraid o Allah, and do not be unjust to me an give me my due.' I said (to him). 'Go and take
those cows and their shepherd. So he took them and went away. (So, O Allah!) If You considered that
I had done that for seeking Your pleasure, then please remove the remaining part of the rock.' And so
Allah released them (from their difficulty).

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) mentioned the greatest sins or he was asked about the greatest sins. He said, "To join
partners in worship with Allah; to kill a soul which Allah has forbidden to kill; and to be undutiful or
unkind to one's parents." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "Shall I inform you of the biggest of the great sins? That
is the forged statement or the false witness." Shu`ba (the sub-narrator) states that most probably the
Prophet said, "the false witness."

My father, seeing a silken cloak being sold, said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Buy this and wear it on Fridays
and when the foreign delegates pay a visit to you." He said, "This is worn only by that person who
will have no share in the Hereafter." Later a few silken cloaks were given to the Prophet (ﷺ) as a gift, and
he sent one of those cloaks to `Umar. `Umar said (to the Prophet), "How can I wear it while you have
said about it what you said?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I did not give it to you to wear but to sell or to give to
someone else to wear." So `Umar sent it to his (pagan) brother who was from the inhabitants of Mecca
before he (`Umar's brother) embraced Islam.

باب رَحْمَةِ الْوَلَدِ وَتَقْبِيلِهِ وَمُعَانَقَتِهِ
وَقَالَ ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَقَبَّلَهُ وَشَمَّهُ.

Narrated by Ibn Abi Na'm
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ شَاهِدًا لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ دَمِ الْبَعُوضِ. فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ. قَالَ انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا، يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ دَمِ الْبَعُوضِ وَقَدْ قَتَلُوا ابْنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَسَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " هُمَا رَيْحَانَتَاىَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ".
I was present when a man asked Ibn `Umar about the blood of mosquitoes. Ibn `Umar said, "From
where are you?" The man replied. "From Iraq." Ibn `Umar said, "Look at that! he is asking me about
the blood of Mosquitoes while they (the Iraqis ) have killed the (grand) son of the Prophet. I have
heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "They (Hasan and Husain) are my two sweet-smelling flowers in this
world."

(the wife of the Prophet) A lady along with her two daughters came to me asking me (for some alms),
but she found nothing with me except one date which I gave to her and she divided it between her two
daughters, and then she got up and went away. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) came in and I informed him about
this story. He said, "Whoever is in charge of (put to test by) these daughters and treats them
generously, then they will act as a shield for him from the (Hell) Fire."

Some Sabi (i.e. war prisoners, children and woman only) were brought before the Prophet (ﷺ) and behold,
a woman amongst them was milking her breasts to feed and whenever she found a child amongst the
captives, she took it over her chest and nursed it (she had lost her child but later she found him) the
Prophet said to us, "Do you think that this lady can throw her son in the fire?" We replied, "No, if she
has the power not to throw it (in the fire)." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Allah is more merciful to His
slaves than this lady to her son."

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, Allah divided Mercy into one hundred parts. He kept ninety nine
parts with Him and sent down one part to the earth, and because of that, its one single part, His Creations are merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby animal, lest it should trample on it."

I said 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Which sin is the greatest?" He said, "To set up a rival unto Allah, though He
Alone created you." I said, "What next?" He said, "To kill your son lest he should share your food

of your neighbor." And then Allah revealed as proof of the statement of the Prophet: 'Those who
invoke not with Allah any other god)................. (to end of verse)...' (25.68)

I never felt so jealous of any woman as I did of Khadija, though she had died three years before the
Prophet married me, and that was because I heard him mentioning her too often, and because his Lord
had ordered him to give her the glad tidings that she would have a palace in Paradise, made of Qasab
and because he used to slaughter a sheep and distribute its meat among her friends.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَنَحْنُ شَبَبَةٌ مُتَقَارِبُونَ، فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً، فَظَنَّ أَنَّا اشْتَقْنَا أَهْلَنَا، وَسَأَلَنَا عَمَّنْ تَرَكْنَا فِي أَهْلِنَا، فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ، وَكَانَ رَفِيقًا رَحِيمًا فَقَالَ " ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَهْلِيكُمْ فَعَلِّمُوهُمْ وَمُرُوهُمْ، وَصَلُّوا كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُصَلِّي، وَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ، ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ ".
We came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and we were (a few) young men of approximately equal age and stayed with
him for twenty nights. Then he thought that we were anxious for our families, and he asked us whom
we had left behind to look after our families, and we told him. He was kindhearted and merciful, so he
said, "Return to your families and teach them (religious knowledge) and order them (to do good
deeds) and offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayers, and when the stated time
for the prayer becomes due, then one of you should pronounce its call (i.e. the Adhan), and the eldest
of you should lead you in prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ السَّمَّانِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَطَشُ، فَوَجَدَ بِئْرًا فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَلْهَثُ يَأْكُلُ الثَّرَى مِنَ الْعَطَشِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَقَدْ بَلَغَ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي كَانَ بَلَغَ بِي، فَنَزَلَ الْبِئْرَ فَمَلأَ خُفَّهُ، ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَهُ بِفِيهِ، فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ، فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ ". قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّ لَنَا فِي الْبَهَائِمِ أَجْرًا. فَقَالَ " فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ أَجْرٌ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While a man was walking on a road. he became very thirsty. Then he came
across a well, got down into it, drank (of its water) and then came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog
panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. The man said to himself "This dog is suffering
from the same state of thirst as I did." So he went down the well (again) and filled his shoe (with
water) and held it in his mouth and watered the dog. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave
him." The people asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?" He said,
"(Yes) There is a reward for serving any animate (living being) ."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up for the prayer and we too stood up along with him. Then a bedouin shouted
while offering prayer. "O Allah! Bestow Your Mercy on me and Muhammad only and do not bestow
it on anybody else along with us." When the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his prayer with Taslim, he said to
the Bedouin, "You have limited (narrowed) a very vast (thing)," meaning Allah's Mercy.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم النَّارَ، فَتَعَوَّذَ مِنْهَا وَأَشَاحَ بِوَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ النَّارَ، فَتَعَوَّذَ مِنْهَا، وَأَشَاحَ بِوَجْهِهِ ـ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَمَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ فَلاَ أَشُكُّ ـ ثُمَّ قَالَ " اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدْ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned the (Hell) Fire and sought refuge (with Allah) from it, and turned his face to
the other side. He mentioned the (Hell) Fire again and took refuge (with Allah) from it and turned his
face to the other side. (Shu`ba, the sub-narrator, said, "I have no doubt that the Prophet (ﷺ) repeated it
twice.") The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "(O people!) Save yourselves from the (Hell) Fire even if with one
half of a date fruit (given in charity), and if this is not available, then (save yourselves) by saying a
good pleasant friendly word."

`Aisha said that the Jews came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "As-Samu 'Alaikum" (death be on you).

Fuhsh (i.e. bad words)." She said (to the Prophet), "Haven't you heard what they (Jews) have said?"
He said, "Haven't you heard what I have said (to them)? I said the same to them, and my invocation
against them will be accepted while theirs against me will be rejected (by Allah). "

that person had left, 'Aisha said (to the Prophet). "O Allah's
Apostle! When you saw that man, you said so-and-so about him, then you
showed him a kind and polite behavior, and you enjoyed his company?"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O 'Aisha! Have you ever seen me speaking a bad

on the Day of Resurrection will be those whom the people leave
(undisturbed) to be away from their evil (deeds)."

The Prophet (ﷺ) was the best among the people (both in shape and
character) and was the most generous of them, and was the bravest of
them. Once, during the night, the people of Medina got afraid (of a
sound). So the people went towards that sound, but the Prophet (ﷺ) having
gone to that sound before them, met them while he was saying, "Don't
be afraid, don't be afraid." (At that time) he was riding a horse
belonging to Abu Talha and it was naked without a saddle, and he was
carrying a sword slung at his neck. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I found it (the
horse) like a sea, or, it is the sea indeed."

Prophet left, the man was blamed by his companions who said, "It was not nice on your part to ask the
Prophet for it while you know that he took it because he was in need of it, and you also know that he
(the Prophet) never turns down anybody's request that he might be asked for." That man said, "I just
wanted to have its blessings as the Prophet (ﷺ) had put it on, so l hoped that I might be shrouded in it."

(complained about) me to the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Did you abuse so-and-so?" I said, "Yes" He
said, "Did you call his mother bad names?" I said, "Yes". He said, "You still have the traits of (the
Pre-lslamic period of) ignorance." I said. "(Do I still have ignorance) even now in my old age?" He
said, "Yes, they (slaves or servants) are your brothers, and Allah has put them under your command.
So the one under whose hand Allah has put his brother, should feed him of what he eats, and give him
dresses of what he wears, and should not ask him to do a thing beyond his capacity. And if at all he
asks him to do a hard task, he should help him therein."

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، صَلَّى بِنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ فِي مُقَدَّمِ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا، وَفِي الْقَوْمِ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، فَهَابَا أَنْ يُكَلِّمَاهُ، وَخَرَجَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ فَقَالُوا قَصُرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ. وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدْعُوهُ ذَا الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَنَسِيتَ أَمْ قَصُرَتْ. فَقَالَ " لَمْ أَنْسَ وَلَمْ تَقْصُرْ ". قَالُوا بَلْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ " صَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ". فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ، فَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَكَبَّرَ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَكَبَّرَ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in the Zuhr prayer, offering only two rak`at and then (finished it) with Taslim, and
went to a piece of wood in front of the mosque and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and `Umar were
also present among the people on that day but dared not talk to him (about his unfinished prayer). And
the hasty people went away, wondering. "Has the prayer been shortened" Among the people there was
a man whom the Prophet (ﷺ) used to call Dhul-Yadain (the longarmed). He said, "O Allah's Prophet!
Have you forgotten or has the prayer been shortened?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Neither have I forgotten,
nor has it been shortened." They (the people) said, "Surely, you have forgotten, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Dhul-Yadain has told the truth." So the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and offered other two rak`at
and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then he said Takbir, performed a prostration of ordinary duration
or longer, then he raised his head and said Takbir and performed another prostration of ordinary
duration or longer and then raised his head and said Takbir (i.e. he performed the two prostrations of
Sahu, i.e., forgetfulness).

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى قَبْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ " إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ، وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ، أَمَّا هَذَا فَكَانَ لاَ يَسْتَتِرُ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَكَانَ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ ". ثُمَّ دَعَا بِعَسِيبٍ رَطْبٍ، فَشَقَّهُ بِاثْنَيْنِ، فَغَرَسَ عَلَى هَذَا وَاحِدًا وَعَلَى هَذَا وَاحِدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ " لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمَا، مَا لَمْ يَيْبَسَا ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) passed by two graves and said, "Both of them (persons in the grave) are being
tortured, and they are not being tortured for a major sin. This one used not to save himself from being
soiled with his urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (among the people to rouse
hostilities, e.g., one goes to a person and tells him that so-and-so says about him such-and-such evil
things). The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into two pieces and planted
one on each grave and said, "It is hoped that their punishment may be abated till those two pieces of
the leaf get dried." (See Hadith No 215, Vol 1).

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ مَكَثَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَذَا وَكَذَا يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي أَهْلَهُ وَلاَ يَأْتِي، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقَالَ لِي ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ " يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَفْتَانِي فِي أَمْرٍ اسْتَفْتَيْتُهُ فِيهِ، أَتَانِي رَجُلاَنِ، فَجَلَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رِجْلَىَّ وَالآخَرُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي، فَقَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَىَّ لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِي مَا بَالُ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ مَطْبُوبٌ. يَعْنِي مَسْحُورًا. قَالَ وَمَنْ طَبَّهُ قَالَ لَبِيدُ بْنُ أَعْصَمَ. قَالَ وَفِيمَ قَالَ فِي جُفِّ طَلْعَةٍ ذَكَرٍ فِي مُشْطٍ وَمُشَاقَةٍ، تَحْتَ رَعُوفَةٍ فِي بِئْرِ ذَرْوَانَ ". فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " هَذِهِ الْبِئْرُ الَّتِي أُرِيتُهَا كَأَنَّ رُءُوسَ نَخْلِهَا رُءُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ، وَكَأَنَّ مَاءَهَا نُقَاعَةُ الْحِنَّاءِ ". فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأُخْرِجَ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَهَلاَّ ـ تَعْنِي ـ تَنَشَّرْتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَمَّا اللَّهُ فَقَدْ شَفَانِي، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُثِيرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ شَرًّا ". قَالَتْ وَلَبِيدُ بْنُ أَعْصَمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ حَلِيفٌ لِيَهُودَ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) continued for such-and-such period imagining that he has slept (had sexual relations)
with his wives, and in fact he did not. One day he said, to me, "O `Aisha! Allah has instructed me
regarding a matter about which I had asked Him. There came to me two men, one of them sat near my
feet and the other near my head. The one near my feet, asked the one near my head (pointing at me),
'What is wrong with this man? The latter replied, 'He is under the effect of magic.' The first one asked,
'Who had worked magic on him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid bin Asam.' The first one asked, 'What
material (did he use)?' The other replied, 'The skin of the pollen of a male date tree with a comb and
the hair stuck to it, kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan."' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) went to that well
and said, "This is the same well which was shown to me in the dream. The tops of its date-palm trees
look like the heads of the devils, and its water looks like the Henna infusion." Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
ordered that those things be taken out. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Won't you disclose (the magic
object)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah has cured me and I hate to circulate the evil among the people."
`Aisha added, "(The magician) Lubaid bin Asam was a man from Bani Zuraiq, an ally of the Jews."

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying. "All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the
Mujahirin (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people). An example of such
disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens it from the public, then he
comes in the morning, and says, 'O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,' though he
spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes
Allah's screen from himself."

باب الْهِجْرَةِ
وَقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ يَحِلُّ لِرَجُلٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ».
Sahih al-Bukhari 6073-6075
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) that she was told that `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (on hearing that she was
selling or giving something as a gift) said, "By Allah, if `Aisha does not give up this, I will declare her
incompetent to dispose of her wealth." I said, "Did he (`Abdullah bin Az-Zubair) say so?" They
(people) said, "Yes." `Aisha said, "I vow to Allah that I will never speak to Ibn Az-Zubair." When this
desertion lasted long, `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair sought intercession with her, but she said, "By Allah, I
will not accept the intercession of anyone for him, and will not commit a sin by breaking my vow."
When this state of affairs was prolonged on Ibn Az-Zubair (he felt it hard on him), he said to Al-
Miswar bin Makhrama and `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu Yaghuth, who were from the tribe
of Bani Zahra, "I beseech you, by Allah, to let me enter upon `Aisha, for it is unlawful for her to vow
to cut the relation with me."
So Al-Miswar and `Abdur-Rahman, wrapping their sheets around themselves, asked `Aisha's
permission saying, "Peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be upon you! Shall we come in?" `Aisha
said, "Come in." They said, "All of us?" She said, "Yes, come in all of you," not knowing that Ibn Az-
Zubair was also with them. So when they entered, Ibn Az-Zubair entered the screened place and got
hold of `Aisha and started requesting her to excuse him, and wept. Al-Miswar and `Abdur Rahman
also started requesting her to speak to him and to accept his repentance.
They said (to her), "The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade what you know of deserting (not speaking to your Muslim
Brethren), for it is unlawful for any Muslim not to talk to his brother for more than three nights
(days)." So when they increased their reminding her (of the superiority of having good relation with
Kith and kin, and of excusing others' sins), and brought her down to a critical situation, she started
reminding them, and wept, saying, "I have made a vow, and (the question of) vow is a difficult one."
They (Al-Miswar and `Abdur-Rahman) persisted in their appeal till she spoke with `Abdullah bin Az-

me, and you said about a similar one what you said?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'I have sent it to you so that

Rifa`a Al-Qurazi divorced his wife irrevocably (i.e. that divorce was the final). Later on `Abdur-
Rahman bin Az-Zubair married her after him. She came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I
was Rifa`a's wife and he divorced me thrice, and then I was married to `Abdur-Rahman bin AzZubair,
who, by Allah has nothing with him except something like this fringe, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)," showing a
fringe she had taken from her covering sheet. Abu Bakr was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) while Khalid Ibn
Sa`id bin Al-As was sitting at the gate of the room waiting for admission. Khalid started calling Abu
Bakr, "O Abu Bakr! Why don't you reprove this lady from what she is openly saying before Allah's
Apostle?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did nothing except smiling, and then said (to the lady), "Perhaps you want
to go back to Rifa`a? No, (it is not possible), unless and until you enjoy the sexual relation with him
(`Abdur Rahman), and he enjoys the sexual relation with you."

`Umar bin Al-Khattab asked permission of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to see him while some Quraishi women
were sitting with him and they were asking him to give them more financial support while raising
their voices over the voice of the Prophet. When `Umar asked permission to enter, all of them hurried
to screen themselves the Prophet (ﷺ) admitted `Umar and he entered, while the Prophet (ﷺ) was smiling.
`Umar said, "May Allah always keep you smiling, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you !" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am astonished at these women who were with me. As soon
as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves." `Umar said, "You have more right, that
they should be afraid of you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" And then he (`Umar) turned towards them and said,
"O enemies of your souls! You are afraid of me and not of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The women replied,
"Yes, for you are sterner and harsher than Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab!
By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a way, he follows a way other
than yours!"

When Allah Apostle was in Ta'if (trying to conquer it), he said to his companions, "Tomorrow we will
return (to Medina), if Allah wills." Some of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We will not

day, they (Muslims) fought fiercely (with the people of Ta'if) and suffered many wounds. Then

in Ramadan (while I was fasting)" The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Manumit a slave." The man said, " I
cannot afford that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Then) fast for two successive months continuously". The man
said, "I cannot do that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Then) feed sixty poor persons." The man said, "I have
nothing (to feed them with)." Then a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Where is the questioner? Go and give this in charity." The man said, "(Shall I give this in
charity) to a poorer person than l? By Allah, there is no family in between these two mountains (of
Medina) who are poorer than we." The Prophet (ﷺ) then smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and
said, "Then (feed) your (family with it).

While I was going along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was wearing a Najrani Burd (sheet) with a thick
border, a bedouin overtook the Prophet (ﷺ) and pulled his Rida' (sheet) forcibly. I looked at the side of the
shoulder of the Prophet (ﷺ) and noticed that the edge of the Rida' had left a mark on it because of the
violence of his pull. The bedouin said, "O Muhammad! Order for me some of Allah's property which
you have." The Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards him, (smiled) and ordered that he be given something.

The Prophet (ﷺ) did not screen himself from me (had never prevented me from entering upon him) since I
embraced Islam, and whenever he saw me, he would receive me with a smile. Once I told him that I

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) on a Friday while he (the Prophet) was delivering a sermon at Medina, and
said, "There is lack of rain, so please invoke your Lord to bless us with the rain." The Prophet (ﷺ) looked
at the sky when no cloud could be detected. Then he invoked Allah for rain. Clouds started gathering
together and it rained till the Medina valleys started flowing with water. It continued raining till the
next Friday. Then that man (or some other man) stood up while the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Friday
sermon, and said, "We are drowned; Please invoke your Lord to withhold it (rain) from us" The
Prophet smiled and said twice or thrice, "O Allah! Please let it rain round about us and not upon us."
The clouds started dispersing over Medina to the right and to the left, and it rained round about
Medina and not upon Medina. Allah showed them (the people) the miracle of His Prophet and His
response to his invocation.

Narrated by `Abdullah
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شَقِيقًا، يَقُولُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَسَمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قِسْمَةً كَبَعْضِ مَا كَانَ يَقْسِمُ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهَا لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهُ اللَّهِ. قُلْتُ أَمَّا أَنَا لأَقُولَنَّ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهْوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَسَارَرْتُهُ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ وَغَضِبَ، حَتَّى وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَخْبَرْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ " قَدْ أُوذِيَ مُوسَى بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَصَبَرَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) divided and distributed something as he used to do for some of his distributions. A man
from the Ansar said, "By Allah, in this division the pleasure of Allah has not been intended." I said, "I
will definitely tell this to the Prophet (ﷺ) ." So I went to him while he was sitting with his companions and
told him of it secretly. That was hard upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and the color of his face changed, and he
became so angry that I wished I had not told him. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Moses was harmed with
more than this, yet he remained patient."

Sahih al-Bukhari 6101
Narrated by `Aisha
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَيْئًا فَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ فَتَنَزَّهَ عَنْهُ قَوْمٌ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ قَالَ " مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَنَزَّهُونَ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ أَصْنَعُهُ، فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَأَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ خَشْيَةً ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) did something and allowed his people to do it, but some people refrained from doing it.
When the Prophet (ﷺ) learned of that, he delivered a sermon, and after having sent Praises to Allah, he
said, "What is wrong with such people as refrain from doing a thing that I do? By Allah, I know Allah
better than they, and I am more afraid of Him than they."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam (i.e. if he swears by saying that he

believer is like murdering him, and whoever accuses a believer of disbelief, then it is as if he had
killed him."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَادَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَلِيمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ يَأْتِي قَوْمَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِهِمُ الصَّلاَةَ، فَقَرَأَ بِهِمُ الْبَقَرَةَ ـ قَالَ ـ فَتَجَوَّزَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى صَلاَةً خَفِيفَةً، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مُعَاذًا فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ. فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ نَعْمَلُ بِأَيْدِينَا، وَنَسْقِي بِنَوَاضِحِنَا، وَإِنَّ مُعَاذًا صَلَّى بِنَا الْبَارِحَةَ، فَقَرَأَ الْبَقَرَةَ فَتَجَوَّزْتُ، فَزَعَمَ أَنِّي مُنَافِقٌ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَا مُعَاذُ أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ ـ ثَلاَثًا ـ اقْرَأْ {وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا} وَ{سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الأَعْلَى} وَنَحْوَهَا ".
Mu`adh bin Jabal used to pray with the Prophet (ﷺ) and then go to lead his people in prayer. Once he led
the people in prayer and recited Surat-al-Baqara. A man left (the row of the praying people) and
offered (light) prayer (separately) and went away. When Mu`adh came to know about it, he said. "He
(that man) is a hypocrite." Later that man heard what Mu`adh said about him, so he came to the
Prophet and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are people who work with our own hands and irrigate (our
farms) with our camels. Last night Mu`adh led us in the (night) prayer and he recited Sura-al-Baqara,
so I offered my prayer separately, and because of that, he accused me of being a hypocrite." The
Prophet called Mu`adh and said thrice, "O Mu`adh! You are putting the people to trials? Recite 'Washshamsi
wad-uhaha' (91) or'Sabbih isma Rabbi ka-l-A'la' (87) or the like."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ " عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، ثُمَّ اعْرِفْ وِكَاءَهَا وَعِفَاصَهَا، ثُمَّ اسْتَنْفِقْ بِهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ رَبُّهَا فَأَدِّهَا إِلَيْهِ ". قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَضَالَّةُ الْغَنَمِ قَالَ " خُذْهَا، فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ لَكَ، أَوْ لأَخِيكَ، أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ ". قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَضَالَّةُ الإِبِلِ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى احْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ ـ أَوِ احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ ـ ثُمَّ قَالَ " مَالَكَ وَلَهَا، مَعَهَا حِذَاؤُهَا وَسِقَاؤُهَا، حَتَّى يَلْقَاهَا رَبُّهَا ".
A man asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about "Al-Luqata" (a lost fallen purse or a thing picked up by
somebody). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You should announce it publicly for one year, and then remember and
recognize the tying material of its container, and then you can spend it. If its owner came to you, then
you should pay him its equivalent." The man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost sheep?" The
Prophet said, "Take it because it is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf." The man again said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost camel?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became very angry and furious and his
cheeks became red (or his face became red), and he said, "You have nothing to do with it (the camel)
for it has its food and its water container with it till it meets its owner."

وَقَالَ الْمَكِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ،. وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ أَبُو النَّضْرِ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ احْتَجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حُجَيْرَةً مُخَصَّفَةً أَوْ حَصِيرًا، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي فِيهَا، فَتَتَبَّعَ إِلَيْهِ رِجَالٌ وَجَاءُوا يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلاَتِهِ، ثُمَّ جَاءُوا لَيْلَةً فَحَضَرُوا وَأَبْطَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَرَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ وَحَصَبُوا الْبَابَ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ مُغْضَبًا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا زَالَ بِكُمْ صَنِيعُكُمْ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُكْتَبُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّلاَةِ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ، فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ صَلاَةِ الْمَرْءِ فِي بَيْتِهِ، إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made a small room (with a palm leaf mat). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out (of his house)
and prayed in it. Some men came and joined him in his prayer. Then again the next night they came
for the prayer, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) delayed and did not come out to them. So they raised their voices
and knocked the door with small stones (to draw his attention). He came out to them in a state of
anger, saying, "You are still insisting (on your deed, i.e. Tarawih prayer in the mosque) that I thought
that this prayer (Tarawih) might become obligatory on you. So you people, offer this prayer at your
homes, for the best prayer of a person is the one which he offers at home, except the compulsory
(congregational) prayer."

Two men abused each other in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) while we were sitting with him. One of the two
abused his companion furiously and his face became red. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I know a word (sentence)
the saying of which will cause him to relax if this man says it. Only if he said, "I seek refuge with
Allah from Satan, the outcast.' " So they said to that (furious) man, 'Don't you hear what the Prophet (ﷺ) is
saying?" He said, "I am not mad."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ قَطُّ إِلاَّ أَخَذَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا، مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا، فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ، وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِنَفْسِهِ فِي شَىْءٍ قَطُّ، إِلاَّ أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللَّهِ، فَيَنْتَقِمَ بِهَا لِلَّهِ.
Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was given the choice of one of two matters he would choose the easier of
the two as long as it was not sinful to do so, but if it was sinful, he would not approach it. Allah's
Apostle never took revenge over anybody for his own sake but (he did) only when Allah's legal
bindings were outraged, in which case he would take revenge for Allah's sake." (See Hadith No. 760.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الأَزْرَقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا عَلَى شَاطِئِ نَهْرٍ بِالأَهْوَازِ قَدْ نَضَبَ عَنْهُ الْمَاءُ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيُّ عَلَى فَرَسٍ، فَصَلَّى وَخَلَّى فَرَسَهُ، فَانْطَلَقَتِ الْفَرَسُ، فَتَرَكَ صَلاَتَهُ وَتَبِعَهَا حَتَّى أَدْرَكَهَا، فَأَخَذَهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَضَى صَلاَتَهُ، وَفِينَا رَجُلٌ لَهُ رَأْىٌ، فَأَقْبَلَ يَقُولُ انْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا الشَّيْخِ تَرَكَ صَلاَتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ فَرَسٍ. فَأَقْبَلَ فَقَالَ مَا عَنَّفَنِي أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ فَارَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَالَ إِنَّ مَنْزِلِي مُتَرَاخٍ فَلَوْ صَلَّيْتُ وَتَرَكْتُ لَمْ آتِ أَهْلِي إِلَى اللَّيْلِ. وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرَأَى مِنْ تَيْسِيرِهِ.
We were in the city of Al-Ahwaz on the bank of a river which had dried up. Then Abu Barza Al-
Aslami came riding a horse and he started praying and let his horse loose. The horse ran away, so Abu
Barza interrupted his prayer and went after the horse till he caught it and brought it, and then he
offered his prayer. There was a man amongst us who was (from the Khawari) having a different
opinion. He came saying. "Look at this old man! He left his prayer because of a horse." On that Abu
Barza came to us and said, "Since the time I left Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), nobody has admonished me; My
house is very far from this place, and if I had carried on praying and left my horse, I could not have
reached my house till night." Then Abu Barza mentioned that he had been in the company of the
Prophet, and that he had seen his leniency.

A bedouin urinated in the mosque, and the people rushed to beat him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered them to
leave him and pour a bucket or a tumbler (full) of water over the place where he has passed urine. The
Prophet then said, " You have been sent to make things easy (for the people) and you have not been
sent to make things difficult for them."

I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with
me. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the
Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is
forbidden, but it was allowed for `Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of
puberty.) (Fath-ul-Bari page 143, Vol.13)

Apostle! You have said what you have said, then you spoke to him in a very gentle and polite manner?

night and fast the whole day?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do not do so; Offer prayer at night and also

and your eye has a right on you, and your guest has a right on you, and your wife has a right on you. I
hope that you will have a long life, and it is sufficient for you to fast for three days a month as the
reward of a good deed, is multiplied ten times, that means, as if you fasted the whole year." I insisted
(on fasting more) so I was given a hard instruction. I said, "I can do more than that (fasting)" The
Prophet said, "Fast three days every week." But as I insisted (on fasting more) so I was burdened. I
said, "I can fast more than that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Fast as Allah's prophet David used to fast." I said,
"How was the fasting of the prophet David?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "One half of a year (i.e. he used to fast
on alternate days). '

The guest's reward is: To provide him with a superior type of food for a night and a day and a guest is
to be entertained with food for three days, and whatever is offered beyond that, is regarded as
something given in charity. And it is not lawful for a guest to stay with his host for such a long period
so as to put him in a critical position."
Similarly as above (156) adding, "Who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or
keep quiet." (i.e. abstain from dirty and evil talk, and should think before uttering).

Narrated by Abu Juhaifa
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ آخَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ سَلْمَانَ وَأَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ. فَزَارَ سَلْمَانُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَرَأَى أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ مُتَبَذِّلَةً فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا شَأْنُكِ قَالَتْ أَخُوكَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لَيْسَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا. فَجَاءَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فَصَنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا فَقَالَ كُلْ فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ. قَالَ مَا أَنَا بِآكِلٍ حَتَّى تَأْكُلَ. فَأَكَلَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ ذَهَبَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُومُ فَقَالَ نَمْ. فَنَامَ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ يَقُومُ فَقَالَ نَمْ. فَلَمَّا كَانَ آخِرُ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ قُمِ الآنَ. قَالَ فَصَلَّيَا فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ إِنَّ لِرَبِّكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، وَلِنَفْسِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، وَلأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، فَأَعْطِ كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ. فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " صَدَقَ سَلْمَانُ ". أَبُو جُحَيْفَةَ وَهْبٌ السُّوَائِيُّ، يُقَالُ وَهْبُ الْخَيْرِ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) established a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu Darda'. Salman paid a visit
to Abu ad-Darda and found Um Ad-Darda' dressed in shabby clothes and asked her why she was in
that state.?" She replied, "Your brother, Abu Ad-Darda is not interested in the luxuries of this world."
In the meantime Abu Ad-Darda came and prepared a meal for him (Salman), and said to him,
"(Please) eat for I am fasting." Salman said, "I am not going to eat, unless you eat." So Abu Ad-Darda'
ate. When it was night, Abu Ad-Darda' got up (for the night prayer). Salman said (to him), "Sleep,"
and he slept. Again Abu- Ad-Darda' got up (for the prayer), and Salman said (to him), "Sleep." When
it was the last part of the night, Salman said to him, "Get up now (for the prayer)." So both of them
offered their prayers and Salman said to Abu Ad-Darda',"Your Lord has a right on you; and your soul
has a right on you; and your family has a right on you; so you should give the rights of all those who
have a right on you). Later on Abu Ad-Darda' visited the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned that to him. The
Prophet, said, "Salman has spoken the truth."

Abu Bakr invited a group of people and told me, "Look after your guests." Abu Bakr added, I am
going to visit the Prophet (ﷺ) and you should finish serving them before I return." `Abdur-Rahman said,
So I went at once and served them with what was available at that time in the house and requested
them to eat." They said, "Where is the owner of the house (i.e., Abu Bakr)?" `Abdur-Rahman said,
"Take your meal." They said, "We will not eat till the owner of the house comes." `Abdur-Rahman
said, "Accept your meal from us, for if my father comes and finds you not having taken your meal yet,
we will be blamed severely by him, but they refused to take their meals . So I was sure that my father
would be angry with me. When he came, I went away (to hide myself) from him. He asked, "What
have you done (about the guests)?" They informed him the whole story. Abu Bakr called, "O `Abdur
Rahman!" I kept quiet. He then called again. "O `Abdur-Rahman!" I kept quiet and he called again,
"O ignorant (boy)! I beseech you by Allah, if you hear my voice, then come out!" I came out and said,
"Please ask your guests (and do not be angry with me)." They said, "He has told the truth; he brought
the meal to us." He said, "As you have been waiting for me, by Allah, I will not eat of it tonight."
They said, "By Allah, we will not eat of it till you eat of it." He said, I have never seen a night like this
night in evil. What is wrong with you? Why don't you accept your meals of hospitality from us?" (He
said to me), "Bring your meal." I brought it to him, and he put his hand in it, saying, "In the name of
Allah. The first (state of fury) was because of Satan." So Abu Bakr ate and so did his guests.

Abu Bakr came with a guest or some guests, but he stayed late at night with the Prophet (ﷺ) and when he
came, my mother said (to him), "Have you been detained from your guest or guests tonight?" He said,
"Haven't you served the supper to them?" She replied, "We presented the meal to him (or to them), but
he (or they) refused to eat." Abu Bakr became angry, rebuked me and invoked Allah to cause (my)
ears to be cut and swore not to eat of it!" I hid myself, and he called me, "O ignorant (boy)!" Abu
Bakr's wife swore that she would not eat of it and so the guests or the guest swore that they would not
eat of it till he ate of it. Abu Bakr said, "All that happened was from Satan." So he asked for the meals
and ate of it, and so did they. Whenever they took a handful of the meal, the meal grew (increased)
from underneath more than that mouthful. He said (to his wife), "O, sister of Bani Firas! What is
this?" She said, "O, pleasure of my eyes! The meal is now more than it had been before we started
eating'' So they ate of it and sent the rest of that meal to the Prophet. It is said that the Prophet (ﷺ) also ate
of it.

said, "Will fifty of you take an oath whereby you will have the right to receive the blood money of
your murdered man," (or said, "..your companion"). They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The murder was a

are disbelievers (and they will take a false oath)." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) himself paid the blood money

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Inform me of a tree which resembles a Muslim, giving its fruits at every season
by the permission of its Lord, and the leaves of which do not fall." I thought of the date-palm tree, but
I disliked to speak because Abu Bakr and `Umar were present there. When nobody spoke, the Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "It is the date-palm tree" When I came out with my father, I said, "O father! It came to my mind
that it was the date-palm tree." He said, "What prevented you from saying it?" Had you said it, it
would have been more dearer to me than such-and-such a thing (fortune)." I said, "Nothing prevented
me but the fact that neither you nor Abu Bakr spoke, so I disliked to speak (in your presence).

We went out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to Khaibar and we travelled during the night. A man amongst the
people said to 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa', "Won't you let us hear your poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, and so he
got down and started (chanting Huda) reciting for the people, poetry that keep pace with the camel's
foot steps, saying, "O Allah! Without You we would not have been guided on the right path, neither
would we have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So please forgive us what we have
committed. Let all of us be sacrificed for Your cause and when we meet our enemy, make our feet
firm and bestow peace and calmness on us and if they (our enemy) will call us towards an unjust thing
we will refuse.
The infidels have made a hue and cry to ask others help against us. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Who is that
driver (of the camels)?" They said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa."' He said, "May Allah bestow His
mercy on him." A man among the people said, Has Martyrdom been granted to him, O Allah's
Prophet! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer." We reached (the people of) Khaibar and
besieged them till we were stricken with severe hunger but Allah helped the Muslims conquer
Khaibar. In the evening of its conquest the people made many fires. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "What are
those fires? For what are you making fires?" They said, "For cooking meat." He asked, "What kind of
meat?" They said, "Donkeys' meat." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Throw away the meat and break the
cooking pots." A man said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the cooking
pots?" He said, "You can do that too." When the army files aligned in rows (for the battle), 'Amir's
sword was a short one, and while attacking a Jew with it in order to hit him, the sharp edge of the
sword turned back and hit 'Amir's knee and caused him to die.
When the Muslims returned (from the battle), Salama said, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw me pale and said,
'What is wrong with you?"' I said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you! The people claim that all the
deeds of Amir have been annulled." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Who said so?" I replied, "So-and-so and soand-
so and Usaid bin Al-Hudair Al-Ansari said, 'Whoever says so is telling a lie. Verily, 'Amir will
have double reward."' (While speaking) the Prophet (ﷺ) put two of his fingers together to indicate that,
and added, "He was really a hard-working man and a Mujahid (devout fighter in Allah's Cause) and
rarely have there lived in it (i.e., Medina or the battle-field) an "Arab like him."

Hassan bin Thabit asked the permission of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to lampoon the pagans (in verse). Allah's
Apostle said, "What about my fore-fathers (ancestry)?' Hassan said (to the Prophet) "I will take you
out of them as a hair is taken out of dough."
She said, "Don't call him with bad names because he used to defend Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (against the
pagans).

(the daughter of Abu Talib) I visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the year of the Conquest of Mecca and found
him taking a bath, and his daughter, Fatima was screening him. When I greeted him, he said, "Who is
it?" I replied, "I am Um Hani, the daughter of Abu Talib." He said, "Welcome, O Um Hani ! " When
the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his bath, he stood up and offered eight rak`at of prayer while he was wrapped
in a single garment. When he had finished his prayer, I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My maternal brother
assumes (or claims) that he will murder some man whom I have given shelter, i.e., so-and-so bin
Hubaira." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Um Hani! We shelter him whom you have sheltered." Um Hani
added, "That happened in the forenoon."

While the Prophet (ﷺ) was distributing (war booty etc.) one day, Dhul Khawaisira, a man from the tribe of
Bani Tamim, said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Act justly." The Prophets said, "Woe to you! Who else would
act justly if I did not act justly?" `Umar said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Allow me to chop his neck off." The
Prophet said, "No, for he has companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of (you
compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider his prayer inferior to theirs, and similarly his
fasting inferior to theirs, but they will desert Islam (go out of religion) as an arrow goes through the
victim's body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined nothing will be seen thereon, and if its
Nady is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is examined, nothing will be seen
thereon, for the arrow has gone out too fast even for the excretions and blood to smear over it. Such
people will come out at the time of difference among the (Muslim) people and the sign by which they
will be recognized, will be a man whose one of the two hands will look like the breast of a woman or
a lump of flesh moving loosely." Abu Sa`id added, "I testify that I heard that from the Prophet (ﷺ) and
also testify that I was with `Ali when `Ali fought against those people. The man described by the
Prophet was searched for among the killed, and was found, and he was exactly as the Prophet (ﷺ) had
described him." (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)

باب قَوْلِ الرَّجُلِ لِلرَّجُلِ اخْسَأْ
6172
Sahih al-Bukhari 6172
Narrated by `Abdullah bin `Umar
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ بْنُ زَرِيرٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رَجَاءٍ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاِبْنِ صَائِدٍ " قَدْ خَبَأْتُ لَكَ خَبِيئًا فَمَا هُوَ ". قَالَ الدُّخُّ. قَالَ " اخْسَأْ ".
Sahih al-Bukhari 6173-6175
`Umar bin Al-Khattab set out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and a group of his companions to Ibn Saiyad.
They found him playing with the boys in the fort or near the Hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn Saiyad
was nearing his puberty at that time, and he did not notice the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) till Allah's
Apostle stroked him on the back with his hand and said, "Do you testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?"
Ibn Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Apostle of the unlettered ones
(illiterates)". Then Ibn Saiyad said to the Prophets . "Do you testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The
Prophet denied that, saying, "I believe in Allah and all His Apostles," and then said to Ibn Saiyad,
"What do you see?" Ibn Saiyad said, "True people and liars visit me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have
been confused as to this matter." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) added, "I have kept something for you (in my
mind)." Ibn Saiyad said, "Ad-Dukh." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ikhsa (you should be ashamed) for you can
not cross your limits." `Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allow me to chop off h is neck." Allah's
Apostle said (to `Umar). "Should this person be him (i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot over-power him;
and should he be someone else, then it will be no use your killing him." `Abdullah bin `Umar added:
Later on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Ubai bin Ka`b Al-Ansari (once again) went to the garden in which Ibn
Saiyad was present.
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered the garden, he started hiding behind the trunks of the date-palms
intending to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before the latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was Lying on
his bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his mumur were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the
Prophet and said, "O Saf (the nickname of Ibn Saiyad)! Here is Muhammad!" Ibn Saiyad stopped his
murmuring. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If his mother had kept quiet, then I would have learnt more about
him." `Abdullah added: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up before the people (delivering a sermon), and after
praising and glorifying Allah as He deserved, he mentioned the Ad-Dajjal saying, "I warn you against
him, and there has been no prophet but warned his followers against him. Noah warned his followers
against him but I am telling you about him, something which no prophet has told his people of, and
that is: Know that he is blind in one eye where as Allah is not so."

When the delegation of `Abdul Qais came to the Prophet, he said, "Welcome, O the delegation who
have come! Neither you will have disgrace, nor you will regret." They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We
are a group from the tribe of Ar-Rabi`a, and between you and us there is the tribe of Mudar and we
cannot come to you except in the sacred months. So please order us to do something good (religious
deeds) so that we may enter Paradise by doing that, and also that we may order our people who are
behind us (whom we have left behind at home) to follow it." He said, "Four and four:" offer prayers
perfectly , pay the Zakat, (obligatory charity), fast the month of Ramadan, and give one-fifth of the
war booty (in Allah's cause), and do not drink in (containers called) Ad-Duba,' Al-Hantam, An-Naqir
and Al-Muzaffat."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لَمَّا رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ، وَسَلَمَةَ بْنَ هِشَامٍ، وَعَيَّاشَ بْنَ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ، وَالْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ بِمَكَّةَ، اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ وَطْأَتَكَ عَلَى مُضَرَ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ ".
When the Prophet (ﷺ) (once) raised his head after bowing [in the Salat (prayer)] he said, "O Allah, save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham and 'Aiyyash bin Abu Rabi'a and the helpless weak believers of Makkah. O Allah, be hard on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, send on them (famine-drought) years like the (famine-drought) years of (the Prophet) Yusuf (Joseph)."

Sahih al-Bukhari 6203
Narrated by Anas
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ خُلُقًا، وَكَانَ لِي أَخٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ ـ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ فَطِيمٌ ـ وَكَانَ إِذَا جَاءَ قَالَ " يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ ". نُغَرٌ كَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ، فَرُبَّمَا حَضَرَ الصَّلاَةَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِنَا، فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْبِسَاطِ الَّذِي تَحْتَهُ فَيُكْنَسُ وَيُنْضَحُ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ وَنَقُومُ خَلْفَهُ فَيُصَلِّي بِنَا.
The Prophet (ﷺ) was the best of all the people in character. I had a brother called Abu `Umar, who, I
think, had been newly weaned. Whenever he (that child) was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) the Prophet (ﷺ) used
to say, "O Abu `Umar! What did Al-Nughair (nightingale) (do)?" It was a nightingale with which he
used to play. Sometimes the time of the Prayer became due while he (the Prophet) was in our house.
He would order that the carpet underneath him be swept and sprayed with water, and then he would
stand up (for the prayer) and we would line up behind him, and he would lead us in prayer.

The most beloved names to `Ali was Abu Turab, and he used to be pleased when we called him by it,
for none named him Abu Turab (for the first time), but the Prophet. Once `Ali got angry with (his
wife) Fatima, and went out (of his house) and slept near a wall in the mosque. The Prophet (ﷺ) came
searching for him, and someone said, "He is there, Lying near the wall." The Prophet (ﷺ) came to him
while his (`Ali's) back was covered with dust. The Prophet (ﷺ) started removing the dust from his back,
saying, "Get up, O Abu Turab!"

That Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rode over a donkey covered with a Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was riding
behind him. He was visiting Sa`d bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith
bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. They proceeded till they passed
by a gathering in which `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before `Abdullah bin
Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims, pagan idolators and Jews, and among the
Muslims there was `Abdullah bin Rawaha.
When a cloud of dust raised by (the movement of ) the animal covered that gathering, `Abdullah bin
Ubai covered his nose with his garment and said, "Do not cover us with dust." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) greeted
them, stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the
Holy Qur'an. On that `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul said to him, "O man! There is nothing better than
what you say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in our gatherings, but if somebody comes to
you, you can preach to him." On that `Abdullah bin Rawaha said "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Call on us
in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing one
another till they were about to fight with one another. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on quietening them till all
of them became quiet, and then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) rode his animal and proceeded till he entered upon
Sa`d bin 'Ubada. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Sa`d! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?" (meaning
`Abdullah bin Unbar). "He said so-and-so." Sa`d bin Ubada said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Let my father be
sacrificed for you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to you the Book, Allah sent the
Truth which was revealed to you at the time when the people of this town had decided to crown him
(`Abdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler.
So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he was choked by that, and that
caused him to behave in such an impolite manner which you had noticed." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) excused
him. (It was the custom of) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions to excuse the pagans and the people of
the scripture (Christians and Jews) as Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient when annoyed
(by them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear much that will grieve you from those who received the
Scripture before you.....and from the pagans (3.186)
He also said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they could turn you away as disbelievers
after you have believed. .... (2.109) So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to apply what Allah had ordered him by
excusing them till he was allowed to fight against them. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had fought the battle of
Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of Quraish,
and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions had returned with victory and booty, bringing with them
some of the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of the Quraish as captives. `Abdullah bin Ubai bin
Salul and the pagan idolators who were with him, said, "This matter (Islam) has now brought out its
face (triumphed), so give Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the pledge of allegiance (for embracing Islam.)". Then they
became Muslims.

6221
Sahih al-Bukhari 6221
Narrated by Anas bin Malik
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ عَطَسَ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَلَمْ يُشَمِّتِ الآخَرَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ " هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَهَذَا لَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ ".
Two men sneezed before the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to one of them, "May Allah bestow His Mercy
on you," but he did not say that to the other. On being asked (why), the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That one
praised Allah (at the time of sneezing), while the other did not praise Allah."

Sahih al-Bukhari 6222
Narrated by Al-Bara
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِسَبْعٍ، وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعٍ، أَمَرَنَا بِعِيَادَةِ الْمَرِيضِ، وَاتِّبَاعِ الْجِنَازَةِ، وَتَشْمِيتِ الْعَاطِسِ، وَإِجَابَةِ الدَّاعِي، وَرَدِّ السَّلاَمِ، وَنَصْرِ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَإِبْرَارِ الْمُقْسِمِ، وَنَهَانَا عَنْ سَبْعٍ، عَنْ خَاتَمِ الذَّهَبِ ـ أَوْ قَالَ حَلْقَةِ الذَّهَبِ ـ وَعَنْ لُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ، وَالدِّيبَاجِ، وَالسُّنْدُسِ، وَالْمَيَاثِرِ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to do seven (things) and forbade us from seven (other things): He ordered us
to pay a visit to the sick, to follow funeral possessions, to say: May Allah be merciful to you to a
sneezer, - if he says: Praise be to Allah, to accept invitation (invitation to a wedding banquet), to
return greetings, to help the oppressed, and to help others to fulfill their oaths (provided it was not
sinful). And he forbade us from seven (things): to wear golden rings or golden bangles, to wear silk
(cloth), Dibaj, Sundus and Mayathir.

125) Sneezing, and yawning
باب مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ مِنَ الْعُطَاسِ، وَمَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ التَّثَاؤُبِ
6223
Sahih al-Bukhari 6223
Narrated by Abu Huraira
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْعُطَاسَ، وَيَكْرَهُ التَّثَاؤُبَ، فَإِذَا عَطَسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، فَحَقٌّ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ سَمِعَهُ أَنْ يُشَمِّتَهُ، وَأَمَّا التَّثَاوُبُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَلْيَرُدَّهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ، فَإِذَا قَالَ هَا. ضَحِكَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises
Allah, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to say: May Allah be merciful to you
(Yar-hamuka-l-lah). But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one must try one's best to stop it, if
one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan will laugh at him."

باب إِذَا عَطَسَ كَيْفَ يُشَمَّتُ
6224
Sahih al-Bukhari 6224
Narrated by Abu Huraira
حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ. وَلْيَقُلْ لَهُ أَخُوهُ أَوْ صَاحِبُهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ. فَإِذَا قَالَ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ. فَلْيَقُلْ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, " If anyone of you sneezes, he should say 'Al-Hamduli l-lah' (Praise be to Allah),
and his (Muslim) brother or companion should say to him, 'Yar-hamuka-l-lah' (May Allah bestow his
Mercy on you). When the latter says 'Yar-hamuka-llah", the former should say, 'Yahdikumul-lah wa
Yuslih balakum' (May Allah give you guidance and improve your condition).

127) Tashmu should not be said to a sneezer if he does not say 'Al-Hamdu-lillah'
باب لاَ يُشَمَّتُ الْعَاطِسُ إِذَا لَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ
6225
Sahih al-Bukhari 6225
Narrated by Anas
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ عَطَسَ رَجُلاَنِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَلَمْ يُشَمِّتِ الآخَرَ. فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شَمَّتَّ هَذَا وَلَمْ تُشَمِّتْنِي. قَالَ " إِنَّ هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَلَمْ تَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ ".
Two men sneezed before the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said Tashmit to one of them, while he did not say
Tashmit to the other. So that man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You said Tashmit to that fellow but you
did not say Tashmit to me. "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That man praised Allah, but you did not praise Allah."

128) If someone yawns, he should put his hand over his mouth
باب إِذَا تَثَاوَبَ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ عَلَى فِيهِ
6226
Sahih al-Bukhari 6226
Narrated by Abu Huraira
حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْعُطَاسَ وَيَكْرَهُ التَّثَاؤُبَ، فَإِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ سَمِعَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ. وَأَمَّا التَّثَاؤُبُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا تَثَاوَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَرُدَّهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا تَثَاءَبَ ضَحِكَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah loves sneezing but dislikes yawning; so if anyone of you sneezes and then
praises Allah, every Muslim who hears him (praising Allah) has to say Tashmit to him. But as regards
yawning, it is from Satan, so if one of you yawns, he should try his best to stop it, for when anyone of
you yawns, Satan laughs at him."
