Allah has chosen for his Apostle what is with Him

was no prophet among the prophets but was given miracles because of which

The best talk (speech) is

you cannot escape (it).

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

people obeyed him and fled at night
proceeding stealthily till
they were safe, while another group of them disbelieved him and stayed at their
places till morning when the army came
upon them, and killed and
ruined them completely So this is the example of that person who obeys me and follows
what I have brought (the Quran and the
Sunna), and the example of the
one who disobeys me and disbelieves the truth I have brought."

Volume 9, Book 92, Number 388:

'None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah' And whoever says: None
has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' waves his wealth and his life from
me unless he deserves a legal punishment
lusty, and his account will be
with Allah! Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, I will fight him who discriminates
between Zakat and prayers, for Zakat is the
Compulsory right to be taken
from the wealth By Allah, if they refuse to give me even a tying rope which
they use to give to Allah's Apostle, I would
fight them for withholding
it." 'Umar said, 'By Allah, It was nothing, except I saw that Allah had
opened the chest of Abu Bakr to the fight, and I
came to know for certain that
was the truth."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifa
bin Badr came and stayed (at Medina) with his nephew Al-Hurr bin Qais bin Hisn
who has one of those whom 'Umar used to
keep near him, as the Qurra'
(learned men knowing Quran by heart) were the people of Umar's meetings and his
advisors whether they were old or young.
'Uyaina said to his nephew,
"O my nephew! Have you an approach to this chief so as to get for me the
permission to see him?" His nephew said, "I will get
the permission for you to see
him." (Ibn 'Abbas added: ) So he took the permission for 'Uyaina, and when
the latter entered, he said, "O the son of
Al-Khattab! By Allah, you
neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with justice." On
that 'Umar became so furious that he intended to
harm him. Al-Hurr, said,
"O Chief of the Believers!" Allah said to His Apostle 'Hold to
forgiveness, command what is good (right), and leave the
foolish (i.e. do not punish
them).' (7.199) and this person is among the foolish." By Allah, 'Umar did
not overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited
it before him, and 'Umar said
to observe (the orders of) Allah's Book strictly." (See Hadith No. 166,
Vol. 6)

I came to 'Aisha during the
solar eclipse. The people were standing (offering prayer) and she too, was
standing and offering prayer. I asked,
"What is wrong with the
people?" She pointed towards the sky with her hand and said, Subhan
Allah!'' I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She nodded with
her head meaning, yes. When
Allah's Apostle finished (the prayer), he glorified and praised Allah and said,
"There is not anything that I have not
seen before but I have seen
now at this place of mine, even Paradise and Hell. It has been revealed to me
that you people will be put to trial nearly
like the trial of Ad-Dajjal,
in your graves. As for the true believer or a Muslim (the sub-narrator is not
sure as to which of the two (words Asma' had
said) he will say, 'Muhammad
came with clear signs from Allah, and we responded to him (accepted his
teachings) and believed (what he said)' It
will be said (to him) 'Sleep
in peace; we have known that you were a true believer who believed with
certainty.' As for a hypocrite or a doubtful
person, (the sub-narrator is
not sure as to which word Asma' said) he will say, 'I do not know, but I heard
the people saying something and so I said
the same.' "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 391:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Leave
me as I leave you) for the people who were before you were ruined because of

night prayer (Tarawih) (behind
him.) Then on the 4th night the people did not hear his voice and they thought
he had slept, so some of them started
humming in order that he might
come out. The Prophet then said, "You continued doing what I saw you doing
till I was afraid that this (Tarawih
prayer) might be enjoined on
you, and if it were enjoined on you, you would not continue performing it.
Therefore, O people! Perform your prayers at
your homes, for the best

"Your father is Hudhaifa." Then another man got up and
said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Who is my father?" The Prophet said, "Your father is Salim, Maula
Shaiba." When 'Umar saw the signs of anger on the face of

wa lahul Hamdu wa hula ala kulli shai'in
qadir. 'Allahumma la mani' a
lima a'taita, wala mu'tiya lima mana'ta, wala yanfa'u dhuljadd
minkal-jadd." He also wrote to him that the Prophet used to
forbid (1) Qil and Qal (idle
useless talk or that you talk too much about others), (2) Asking too many
questions (in disputed Religious matters); (3)
And wasting one's wealth by
extravagance; (4) and to be undutiful to one's mother (5) and to bury the
daughters alive (6) and to prevent your favors
(benevolence to others (i.e.
not to pay the rights of others (7) And asking others for something (except

The Prophet came out after the
sun had declined and offered the Zuhr prayer (in congregation). After finishing

mentioned there would happen great events before it. Then he said,
"Whoever wants to ask me any question, may do so, for by
Allah, you will not ask me
about anything but I will inform you of its answer as long as I am at this
place of mine." On this, the Ansar wept
violently, and Allah's Apostle
kept on saying, "Ask Me! " Then a man got up and asked, ''Where will
my entrance be, O Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet
said, "(You will go to)
the Fire." Then 'Abdullah bin Hudhaifa got up and asked, "Who is my
father, O Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet replied, "Your
father is Hudhaifa." The
Prophet then kept on saying (angrily), "Ask me! Ask me!" 'Umar then
knelt on his knees and said, "We have accepted Allah as our
Lord and Islam as our religion
and Muhammad as an Apostle." Allah's Apostle became quiet when 'Umar said
that. Then Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in
Whose Hand my life is,
Paradise and Hell were displayed before me across this wall while I was
praying, and I never saw such good and evil as I have
seen today."

Narrated Ibn Masud:
I was with the Prophet at one
of the farms of Medina while he was leaning on a date palm leaf-stalk. He passed
by a group of Jews and some of them said
to the other, Ask him (the
Prophet) about the spirit. Some others said, "Do not ask him, lest he
should tell you what you dislike" But they went up to
him and said, "O Abal
Qasim! Inform us bout the spirit." The Prophet stood up for a while,
waiting. I realized that he was being Divinely Inspired, so
I kept away from him till the
inspiration was over. Then the Prophet said, "(O Muhammad) they ask you
regarding the spirit, Say: The spirit its
knowledge is with my Lord
(i.e., nobody has its knowledge except Allah)" (17.85) (This is a miracle
of the Qur'an that all the scientists up till now
do not know about the spirit,
i.e, how life comes to a body and how it goes away at its death) (See Hadith
No. 245, Vol. 6)

their rings away. [thus gold is prohibited to men]

companions), "Do not fast Al-Wisal." They said, "But you fast
Al-Wisail." He said, "I am not like you, for at night my Lord
feeds me and makes me
drink." But the people did not give up Al-Wisal, so the Prophet fasted
Al-Wisal with them for two days or two nights, and then
they saw the crescent
whereupon the Prophet said, "If the crescent had delayed, I would have
continued fasting (because of you)," as if he wanted
to vanquish them completely
(because they had refused to give up Al Wisal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 403:
Narrated Ibrahim At Tamii's
father:
Ali addressed us while he was
standing on a brick pulpit and carrying a sword from which was hanging a scroll
He said "By Allah, we have no book to
read except Allah's Book and
whatever is on this scroll," And then he unrolled it, and behold, in it
was written what sort of camels were to be
given as blood money, and
there was also written in it: 'Medina is a sanctuary form 'Air (mountain) to
such and such place so whoever innovates
in it an heresy or commits a
sin therein, he will incur the curse of Allah, the angles, and all the people
and Allah will not accept his compulsory or
optional good deeds.' There
was also written in it: 'The asylum (pledge of protection) granted by any
Muslims is one and the same, (even a Muslim of
the lowest status is to be
secured and respected by all the other Muslims, and whoever betrays a Muslim in
this respect (by violating the pledge) will
incur the curse of Allah, the
angels, and all the people, and Allah will not accept his compulsory or
optional good deeds.' There was also written in it:
'Whoever (freed slave) befriends
(takes as masters) other than his real masters (manumitters) without their
permission will incur the curse of
Allah, the angels, and all the
people, and Allah will not accept his compulsory or optional good deeds. ' (See

is the hadith,a commandement
of prophet muhammad peace be upon him]

The Prophet did something as
it was allowed from the religious point of view but some people refrained from
it. When the Prophet heard of that, he, after
glorifying and praising Allah,
said, "Why do some people refrain from doing something which I do? By
Allah, I know Allah more than they."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 405:
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:
Once the two righteous men,
i.e., Abu Bakr and 'Umar were on the verge of destruction (and that was
because): When the delegate of Bani Tamim came to
the Prophet, one of them
(either Abu Bakr or 'Umar) recommended Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-Tamimi Al-Hanzali,
the brother of Bani Majashi (to be appointed as
their chief), while the other
recommended somebody else. Abu Bakr said to 'Umar, "You intended only to
oppose me." 'Umar said, "I did not intend to
oppose you!" Then their
voices grew louder in front of the Prophet whereupon there was revealed: 'O you
who believe! Do not raise your voices above the
voice of the Prophet..a great reward.'
(49.2-3) Ibn Az-Zubair said, 'Thence forward when 'Umar talked to the Prophet,
he would talk like one who
whispered a secret and would
even fail to make the Prophet hear him, in which case the Prophet would ask him
(to repeat his words)."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 406:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the mother of believers)
Allah's Apostle during his fatal ailment said, "Order Abu Bakr to lead the
people in prayer." I said, "If Abu Bakr stood at
your place (in prayers, the
people will not be able to hear him because of his weeping, so order 'Umar to
lead the people in prayer." He again said,
"Order Abu Bakr to lead
the people in prayer " Then I said to Hafsa, "Will you say (to the
Prophet), 'If Abu Bakr stood at your place, the people will
not be able to hear him be
cause of his weeping, so order 'Umar to lead the people in prayer?" Hafsa
did so, whereupon Allah's Apostle said, "You are
like the companions of Joseph
(See Qur'an, 12:30-32). Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer."
Hafsa then said to me, "I have never received any
good from you!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 407:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd
As-Sa'idi:
'Uwaimir Al-'Ajlani came to
'Asim bin 'Adi and said, "If a man found another man with his wife and
killed him, would you sentence the husband to death
(in Qisas,) i.e., equality in
punishment)? O 'Asim! Please ask Allah's Apostle about this matter on my
behalf." 'Asim asked the Prophet but the
Prophet disliked the question
and disapproved of it. 'Asim returned and informed 'Uwaimir that the Prophet
disliked that type of question. 'Uwaimir
said, "By Allah, I will
go (personally) to the Prophet." 'Uwaimir came to the Prophet when Allah
had already revealed Qur'anic Verses (in that
respect), after 'Asim had left
(the Prophet ). So the Prophet said to 'Uwaimir, "Allah has revealed
Qur'anic Verses regarding you and your wife."
The Prophet then called for
them, and they came and carried out the order of Lian.
Then 'Uwaimir said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Now if I kept her with me, I would be accused of telling a
lie." So 'Uwaimir divorced her although the Prophet
did not order him to do so.
Later on this practice of divorcing became the tradition of couples involved in
a case of Li'an. The Prophet said (to the
people). "Wait for her!
If she delivers a red short (small) child like a Wahra (a short red animal).
then I will be of the opinion that he ('Uwaimir)
has told a lie but if she
delivered a black big-eyed one with big buttocks,then I will be of the opinion
that he has told the truth about her." 'Ultimately she gave birth to a
child that proved the accusation. (See Hadith No. 269, Vol. 6)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 408:
Narrated Malik bin Aus
An-Nasri:
I proceeded till I entered
upon 'Umar (and while I was sitting there), his gate-keeper Yarfa came to him
and said, " 'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman, Az-Zubair
and Sa'd ask your permission
to come in." 'Umar allowed them. So they entered, greeted, and sat down.
(After a while the gatekeeper came) and
said, "Shall I admit 'Ali
and 'Abbas?'' 'Umar allowed them to enter. Al-'Abbas said "O Chief of the
believers! Judge between me and the oppressor
('Ali)." Then there was a
dispute (regarding the property of Bani Nadir) between them ('Abbas and 'Ali).
'Uthman and his companions said, "O Chief of
the Believers! Judge between
them and relieve one from the other." Umar said, "Be patient! beseech
you by Allah, with Whose permission the Heaven
and the Earth Exist! Do you
know that Allah's Apostle said, 'Our property is not to be inherited, and
whatever we leave is to be given in charity,' and
by this Allah's Apostle meant
himself?" On that the group said, "He verily said so." 'Umar
then faced 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "I beseech you both by
Allah, do you both know that
Allah's Apostle said so?" They both replied, "Yes". 'Umar then
said, "Now I am talking to you about this matter (in
detail) . Allah favored
Allah's Apostle with some of this wealth which He did not give to anybody else,
as Allah said: 'What Allah bestowed as Fai
(Booty on His Apostle for
which you made no expedition... ' (59.6)
So that property was totally
meant for Allah's Apostle, yet he did not collect it and ignore you, nor did he
withhold it with your exclusion, but
he gave it to you and
distributed it among you till this much of it was left behind, and the Prophet,
used to spend of this as the yearly expenditures of
his family and then take what
remained of it and spent it as he did with (other) Allah's wealth. The Prophet
did so during all his lifetime, and I
beseech you by Allah, do you
know that?" They replied, "Yes." 'Umar then addressed 'Ali and
'Abbas, saying, "I beseech you both by Allah, do you know
that?" Both of them
replied, "Yes." 'Umar added, "Then Allah took His Apostle unto
Him. Abu Bakr then said 'I am the successor of Allah's Apostle'
and took over all the
Prophet's property and disposed of it in the same way as Allah's Apostle used
to do, and you were present then." Then he turned to
'Ali and 'Abbas and said,
"You both claim that Abu Bakr did so-and-so in managing the property, but
Allah knows that Abu Bakr was honest, righteous,
intelligent, and a follower of
what is right in managing it.
Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto
Him, 'I said: I am the successor of Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr.' So I took over
the property for two years and managed
it in the same way as Allah's
Apostle, and Abu Bakr used to do. Then you both ('Ali and 'Abbas) came to me
and asked for the same thing! (O 'Abbas!
You came to me to ask me for
your share from nephew's property; and this ('Ali) came to me asking for his
wives share from her father's property, and
I said to you both, 'If you
wish, I will place it in your custody on condition that you both will manage it
in the same way as Allah's Apostle
and Abu Bakr did and as I have
been doing since I took charge of managing it; otherwise, do not speak to me
anymore about it.'
Then you both said, 'Give it
to us on that (condition).' So I gave it to you on that condition. Now I
beseech you by Allah, did I not give it to them on
that condition?" The
group (whom he had been addressing) replied, "Yes." 'Umar then
addressed 'Abbas and 'Ali saying, "I beseech you both by Allah,
didn't I give you all that
property on that condition?" They said, "Yes." 'Umar then said,
"Are you now seeking a verdict from me other than that? By
Him with Whose Permission the
Heaven and the Earth exists I will not give any verdict other than that till

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

'O people! Blame your personal
opinions in your religion. No doubt, I remember myself on the day of Abi Jandal;
if I had the power to refuse the
order of Allah's Apostle, I
would have refused it. [Allah's Apostle in the 'Umra of Al-Hudaibiya concluted
a treaty 'If anyone from us (i.e. infidels)
ever comes to you, though he
has embraced your religion, you should return him to us, and should not
interfere between us and him.' Suhail refused to
conclude the truce with
Allah's Apostle except on this condition. The believers disliked this condition
and got disgusted with it and argued about
it. But when Suhail refused to
conclude the truce with Allah's Apostle except on that condition, Allah's
Apostle concluded it. Accordingly, Allah's
Apostle then returned Abu
Jandal bin Suhail to his father, Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 5.496 Narrated
byUrwa bin Az Zubair]
We have never put our swords
on our shoulders to get involved in a situation that might have been horrible
for us, but those swords brought us to victory
and peace, except this present
situation.' " Abu Wail said, "I witnessed the battle of Siffin, and
how nasty Siffin was!"

season (of Hajj) gathers the
riffraff mob who will form the majority of your audience, and I am afraid that
they will not understand (the meaning of)
your saying properly and may
spread (an incorrect statement) everywhere. You should wait till we reach

the Sunna (the Prophet's Traditions).
There you will meet the companions of Allah's Apostle from the Muhajirin and
the Ansar who will understand your
statement and place it in its
proper position' 'Umar said, 'By Allah, I shall do so the first time I stand
(to address the people) in Medina.' When

(Anyhow) with Allah will be our appointment.
I was a poor man, and used to
stick to Allah's Apostle contented with what will fill my stomach, and the
Muhajirin (emigrants) used to be busy trading
in the markets, and the Ansar
used to be busy looking after their properties. One-day I heard Allah's Apostle
saying, 'Who will spread his
Rida' (a garment covering the
upper part of the body) till I finished my speech and then fold it, (i.e. wrap
it over your body), in which case he
will never forget anything he
had heard from me." So I spread my garment which I was wearing; and by Him

Volume 9, Book 92, Number 454:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Horses may be used for three purposes: For a man they may be a source of
reward (in the Hereafter); for another, a means of
protection; and for another, a
source of sin. The man for whom they are a source of reward, is the one who
keeps them for Allah's Cause and ties them
with long ropes and lets them
graze in a pasture or garden. Whatever those long ropes allow them to eat of
that pasture or garden, will be written as
good deeds for him and if they
break their ropes and run one or two rounds, then all their footsteps and dung
will be written as good deeds for him, and
if they pass a river and drink
from it though he has had no intention of watering them, even then, that will
be written as good deeds for him. So
such horses are a source of
reward for that man. For the man who keeps horses for his livelihood in order
not to ask others for help or beg his
bread, and at the same time he
does not forget Allah's right of what he earns through them and of their backs
(that he presents it to be used in
Allah's Cause), such horses
are a shelter for him (from poverty). For the man who keeps them just out of
pride and for showing off, they are a source
of sin." Then Allah's
Apostle was asked about donkeys. He said, "Allah has not revealed anything
to me regarding them except this comprehensive Verse:
"Then anyone who has done
good, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it, and any one
who has done evil, equal to the weight of an
atom (or a small ant) shall
see it." (99.7-8)

"Clean yourself" She said again, "How shall I clean myself, O
Allah's Apostle?" The
Prophet said, "Clean yourself with it." Then I knew what Allah's
Apostle meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.

it had been illegal to eat, it
would not have been eaten over his table cloth nor would he have ordered that
(mastigures meat) to be eaten

Volume 9, Book 92, Number 458:
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
The Prophet said,
"Whoever has eaten garlic or onion, should keep away from us, or should
keep away from our mosque and should stay at home." Ibn Wahb
said, "Once a plate full
of cooked vegetables was brought to the Prophet at Badr. Detecting a bad smell
from it, he asked about the dish and was
informed of the kinds of
vegetables in contained. He then said, "Bring it near," and so it was
brought near to one of his companions who was with him.
When the Prophet saw it, he
disliked eating it and said (to his companion), "Eat, for I talk in secret
to ones whom you do not talk to."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 459:
Narrated Jubair bin Mutim:
A lady came to Allah's Apostle
and she talked to him about something, and he gave her some order. She said,
"O Allah's Apostle! If I should not find
you?" He said, "If
you should not find me, then go to Abu Bakr." Ibrahim bin Sa'd said,
"As if she meant the death (of the Prophet)."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 460:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The people of the Book used to
read the Torah in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. Allah's
Apostle said (to the Muslims). "Do not
believe the people of the
Book, nor disbelieve them, but say, 'We believe in Allah and whatever is
revealed to us, and whatever is revealed to you.' "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 461:
Narrated Ubaidullah:
Ibn 'Abbas said, "Why do
you ask the people of the scripture about anything while your Book (Quran)
which has been revealed to Allah's Apostle is newer
and the latest? You read it
pure, undistorted and unchanged, and Allah has told you that the people of the
scripture (Jews and Christians) changed
their scripture and distorted
it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and said, 'It is from Allah,' to
sell it for a little gain. Does not
the knowledge which has come
to you prevent you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never
seen any man from them asking you
regarding what has been
revealed to you!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 462:
Narrated 'Aisha:
After the slanderers had given
a forged statement against her, Allah's Apostle called 'Ali bin Abi Talib and
Usama bin Zaid when the Divine
Inspiration was delayed. He
wanted to ask them and consult them about the question of divorcing me. Usama
gave his evidence that was based on what he
knew about my innocence, but
'Ali said, "Allah has not put restrictions on you and there are many women
other than her. Furthermore you may ask the
slave girl who will tell you
the truth." So the Prophet asked Barira (my salve girl), "Have you
seen anything that may arouse your suspicion?" She
replied, "I have not seen
anything more than that she is a little girl who sleeps, leaving the dough of
her family (unguarded) that the domestic goats
come and eat it." Then
the Prophet stood on the pulpit and said, "O Muslims! Who will help me
against the man who has harmed me by slandering my wife? By
Allah, I know nothing about my
family except good." The narrator added: Then the Prophet mentioned the
innocence of 'Aisha. (See Hadith No. 274, Vol. 6)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 463:
Narrated Aisha:
Allah's Apostle addressed the
people, and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said, "What do you
suggest me regarding those people who are
abusing my wife? I have never
known anything bad about her." The sub-narrator, 'Urwa, said: When 'Aisha
was told of the slander, she said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Will you
allow me to go to my parents' home?" He allowed her and sent a slave along
with her. An Ansari man said, "Subhanaka! It is
not right for us to speak
about this. Subhanaka! This is a great lie!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 464:
Narrated Ata:
I heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah in
a gathering saying, "We, the companions of Allah's Apostle assumed the
state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without
'Umra." Jabir added,
"The Prophet arrived (at Mecca) on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we
arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet ordered us to finish
the state of Ihram, saying,
"Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual relation)." Jabir
added, "The Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our
wives) but he only made that
legal for us. Then he heard that we were saying, "When there remains only
five days between us and the Day of Arafat
he orders us to finish our Ihram
by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to 'Arafat with our
male organs dribbling with semen?' (Jabir
pointed out with his hand
illustrating what he was saying). Allah's Apostle stood up and said, 'You
(People) know that I am the most Allah-fearing, the
most truthful and the best
doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hadi with
me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will
do, so finish your Ihram. If I
had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the
Hadi with me.' So we finished our Ihram
and listened to the Prophet
and obeyed him." (See Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 465:
Narrated 'Abdullah Al Muzam:
The Prophet said,
"Perform (an optional) prayer before Maghrib prayer." (He repeated it
thrice) and the third time he said, "Whoever wants to offer it
can do so," lest the
people should take it as a Sunna (tradition). (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 2)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 466:
Narrated Jundab bin 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Recite (and study) the Quran as long as you are in agreement as to its
interpretation and meanings, but when you have
differences regarding its
interpretation and meanings, then you should stop reciting it (for the time
being.) (See Hadith No 581, Vol. 6)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 467:
Narrated Jundab bin 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Recite (and study) the Qur'an as long as your hearts are in agreement as
to its meanings, but if you have differences as regards
its meaning, stop reading it
then."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 468:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
When the time of the death of
the Prophet approached while there were some men in the house, and among them
was 'Umar bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet
said, "Come near let me
write for you a writing after which you will never go astray." 'Umar said,
"The Prophet is seriously ill, and you have the
Quran, so Allah's Book is
sufficient for us." The people in the house differed and disputed. Some of
them said, "Come near so that Allah's Apostle
may write for you a writing
after which you will not go astray," while some of them said what 'Umar
said. When they made much noise and differed greatly
before the Prophet, he said to
them, "Go away and leave me." Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "It was a
great disaster that their difference and noise prevented
Allah's Apostle from writing
that writing for them. [Prophet[pbuh] was illiterate,let me write means let me dictate
& others write.
Allah knows best.
