Narated By Abu Huraira : While the Prophet was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him,
"When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle continued his talk, so some people said that Allah's
Apostle had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Allah's Apostle
had not heard it. When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about the
Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost,
then wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet said, "When the power or
authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"

Narated By Abu Musa : The Prophet said, "The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is
like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought forth
vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain water and Allah benefited
the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it and for irrigation of the land for
cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that
land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's religion and gets benefit
(from the knowledge) which Allah has revealed through me (the Prophets and learns and then teaches others. The
last example is that of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah's guidance revealed through me (He
is like that barren land.)"

After the prayer, the Prophet praised and glorified Allah and then said, "Just now at this place I have seen what I
have never seen before, including Paradise and Hell. No doubt it has been inspired to me that you will be put to trials
in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Masiah-ad-Dajjal or nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure
which expression Asma' used). You will be asked, 'What do you know about this man (the Prophet Muhammad)?'
Then the faithful believer (or Asma' said a similar word) will reply, 'He is Muhammad Allah's Apostle who had come to
us with clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted his teachings and followed him. And he is Muhammad.'
And he will repeat it thrice. Then the angels will say to him, 'Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you were a
faithful believer.' On the other hand, a hypocrite or a doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know, but I heard the people
saying something and so I said it.' (the same)."

people (or said, "O delegation (of 'Abdul Qais).") Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "We
have come to you from a distant place and there is the tribe of the infidels of Mudar intervening between you and us
and we cannot come to you except in the sacred month. So please order us to do something good (religious deeds)
and that we may also inform our people whom we have left behind (at home) and that we may enter Paradise (by
acting on them.)" The Prophet ordered them to do four things, and forbade them from four things. He ordered them
to believe in Allah Alone, the Honourable the Majestic and said to them, "Do you know what is meant by believing in
Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet said, "(That means to testify
that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle, to offer prayers perfectly, to
pay Zakat, to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan, (and) to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given
in Allah's cause)." Then he forbade them four things, namely Ad-Dubba.' Hantam, Muzaffat (and) An-Naqir or

will be called to account (about his deeds on the Day of Resurrection) will surely be punished." I said, "Doesn't Allah
say: "He surely will receive an easy reckoning." (84.8) The Prophet replied, "This means only the presentation of the
accounts but whoever will be argued about his account, will certainly be ruined."

Narated By Said : Abu Shuraih said, "When 'Amr bin Said was sending the troops to Mecca (to fight 'Abdullah bin
Az-Zubair) I said to him, 'O chief! Allow me to tell you what the Prophet said on the day following the conquests of
Mecca. My ears heard and my heart comprehended, and I saw him with my own eyes, when he said it. He glorified
and praised Allah and then said, "Allah and not the people has made Mecca a sanctuary. So anybody who has belief
in Allah and the Last Day (i.e. a Muslim) should neither shed blood in it nor cut down its trees. If anybody argues that
fighting is allowed in Mecca as Allah's Apostle did fight (in Mecca), tell him that Allah gave permission to His Apostle,
but He did not give it to you. The Prophet added: Allah allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the conquest)
and today (now) its sanctity is the same (valid) as it was before. So it is incumbent upon those who are present to
convey it (this information) to those who are absent." Abu-Shuraih was asked, "What did 'Amr reply?" He said 'Amr
said, "O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you (in this respect). Mecca does not give protection to one who disobeys
(Allah) or runs after committing murder, or theft (and takes refuge in Mecca).

Narated By 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

the Sub-narrator used to say, "Allah's Apostle told the truth.") The Prophet repeated twice: "No doubt! Haven't I
conveyed Allah's message to you.

Narated By 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).

Narated By 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."

Narated By '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).

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.

Narated By Abu Huraira : People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet's narrations). Had it not been

"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.

-----------------------------------------
Narated By 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."

Narated By 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."

Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Amar : I saw the Prophet near the Jamra and the people were asking him questions (about

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."

Narated By '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)
