Apostle had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin
had asked. Some of them said that Alllah'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?"

hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"

the circle and sat there while the other sat behind the gathering,
and the third one went away. When Allah's Apostle finished his preaching,
he said, "Shall I tell you about these three persons? One of
them be-took himself to Allah, so Allah took him into His grace
and mercy and accommodated him, the second felt shy from Allah,
so Allah sheltered Him in His mercy (and did not punish him), while
the third turned his face from Allah and went away, so Allah turned
His face from him likewise. "

We replied, "Yes." He further asked, "Which month
is this?" We again kept quiet, thinking that he might give
it another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?"
We replied, "Yes." He said, "Verily! Your blood,
property and honor are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like
the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and in
this city of yours. It is incumbent upon those who are present to
inform those who are absent because those who are absent might comprehend
(what I have said) better than the present audience."

us bored."

you know anyone who is more learned than you? Moses replied: "No."
So Allah sent the Divine Inspiration to Moses: 'Yes, Our slave Khadir
(is more learned than you.)' Moses asked (Allah) how to meet him
(Khadir). So Allah made the fish as a sign for him and he was told
that when the fish was lost, he should return (to the place where
he had lost it) and there he would meet him (Al-Khadir). So Moses
went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea. The servant-boy
of Moses said to him: Do you remember when we betook ourselves to
the rock, I indeed forgot the fish, none but Satan made me forget
to remember it. On that Moses said: 'That is what we have been seeking?

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 79:
Narrated 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.)"

"There is no harm, go and do the slaughtering now." Then
another person came and said, "I forgot and slaughtered (the
camel) before Rami (throwing of the pebbles) at the Jamra."
The Prophet said, "Do the Rami now and there is no harm."

a sign?" She nodded with her head meaning, "Yes."
I, too, then stood (for the prayer of eclipse) till I became (nearly)
unconscious and later on I poured water on my head. 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). "

the Prophet who asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)?
(Or) who are the delegates?" They replied, "We are from
the tribe of Rabi'a." Then the Prophet said to them, "Welcome,
O 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 Honorable 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 Muqaiyar(These

over to see Allah's Apostle at Medina, and asked him about it. Allah's
Apostle said, "How can you keep her as a wife when it has been
said (that she is your foster-sister)?" Then Uqba divorced
her, and she married another man.

to go one day and I another day. When I went I used to bring the

at my door and asked if I was there." I became horrified and
came out to him. He said, "Today a great thing has happened."
I then went to Hafsa and saw her weeping. I asked her, "Did
Allah's Apostle divorce you all?" She replied, "I do not

there are the sick the weak and the needy (having some jobs to do)."

(about it) for one year, then utilize it but give it to its owner
if he comes." Then the person asked about the lost camel. On
that, the Prophet got angry and his cheeks or his Face became red
and he said, "You have no concern with it as it has its water
container, and its feet and it will reach water, and eat (the leaves)
of trees till its owner finds it." The man then asked about
the lost sheep. The Prophet replied, "It is either for you,

Then another man got up and said, "Who is my father, O Allah's

who will gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?"
Allah's Apostle said: O Abu Huraira! "I have thought that none
will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for the (learning
of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on
the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from
the bottom of his heart "None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah."
And 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz wrote to Abu Bakr bin Hazm, "Look
for the knowledge of Hadith and get it written, as I am afraid that
religious knowledge will vanish and the religious learned men will
pass away (die). Do not accept anything save the Hadiths of the
Prophet. Circulate knowledge and teach the ignorant, for knowledge
does not vanish except when it is kept secretly (to oneself)."

men) will pass away (die)."

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Allah does not take away the
knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but
takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when
none of the (religious learned men) remains, people will take as
their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their
verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead
the people astray."

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."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 104:
Narrated 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).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 105:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said. No doubt your blood, property, the sub-narrator
Muhammad thought that Abu Bakra had also mentioned and your honor
(chastity), are sacred to one another as is the sanctity of this
day of yours in this month of yours. It is incumbent on those who
are present to inform those who are absent." (Muhammad the
Subnarrator used to say, "Allah's Apostle told the truth.")
The Prophet repeated twice: "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's
message to you.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 106:
Narrated 'Ali:
The Prophet said, "Do not tell a lie against me for whoever
tells a lie against me (intentionally) then he will surely enter
the Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 107:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair:
I said to my father, 'I do not hear from you any narration (Hadith)
of Allah s Apostle as I hear (his narrations) from so and so?"
Az-Zubair replied. l was always with him (the Prophet) and I heard
him saying "Whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally)
then (surely) let him occupy, his seat in Hell-fire.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 108:
Narrated Anas:
The fact which stops me from narrating a great number of Hadiths
to you is that the Prophet said: "Whoever tells a lie against
me intentionally, then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 109:
Narrated Salama:
I heard the Prophet saying, "Whoever (intentionally) ascribes
to me what I have not said then (surely) let him occupy his seat
in Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 110:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Name yourselves with my name (use my name)
but do not name yourselves with my Kunya name (i.e. Abu-l Qasim).
And whoever sees me in a dream then surely he has seen me for Satan
cannot impersonate me. And whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally),
then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 111:
Narrated Ash-Sha'bi:
Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked Ali, 'Have you got any book (which
has been revealed to the Prophet apart from the Qur'an)?' 'Ali replied,
'No, except Allah's Book or the power of understanding which has
been bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or what is (written) in this
sheet of paper (with me).' Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What
is (written) in this sheet of paper?' Ali replied, it deals with
The Diyya (compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to the
relatives of the victim), the ransom for the releasing of the captives
from the hands of the enemies, and the law that no Muslim should
be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for the killing of (a
disbeliever).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 112:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of Khuza'a killed
a man from the tribe of Bani Laith in revenge for a killed person,
belonging to them. They informed the Prophet about it. So he rode
his Rahila (she-camel for riding) and addressed the people saying,
"Allah held back the killing from Mecca. (The sub-narrator
is in doubt whether the Prophet said "elephant or killing,"
as the Arabic words standing for these words have great similarity
in shape), but He (Allah) let His Apostle and the believers over
power the infidels of Mecca. Beware! (Mecca is a sanctuary) Verily!
Fighting in Mecca was not permitted for anyone before me nor will
it be permitted for anyone after me. It (war) in it was made legal
for me for few hours or so on that day. No doubt it is at this moment
a sanctuary, it is not allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to
uproot its trees or to pick up its Luqatt (fallen things) except
by a person who will look for its owner (announce it publicly).
And if somebody is killed, then his closest relative has the right
to choose one of the two-- the blood money (Diyya) or retaliation
having the killer killed. In the meantime a man from Yemen came
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Get that written for me."
The Prophet ordered his companions to write that for him. Then a
man from Quraish said, "Except Al-Iqhkhir (a type of grass
that has good smell) O Allah's Apostle, as we use it in our houses
and graves." The Prophet said, "Except Al-Idhkhiri.e.
Al-Idhkhir is allowed to be plucked."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 113:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
There is none among the companions of the Prophet who has narrated
more Hadiths than I except 'Abdallah bin Amr (bin Al-'As) who used
to write them and I never did the same.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 114:
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah:
Ibn 'Abbas said, "When the ailment of the Prophet became worse,
he said, 'Bring for me (writing) paper and I will write for you
a statement after which you will not go astray.' But 'Umar said,
'The Prophet is seriously ill, and we have got Allah's Book with
us and that is sufficient for us.' But the companions of the Prophet
differed about this and there was a hue and cry. On that the Prophet
said to them, 'Go away (and leave me alone). It is not right that
you should quarrel in front of me." Ibn 'Abbas came out saying,
"It was most unfortunate (a great disaster) that Allah's Apostle
was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their
disagreement and noise. (Note: It is apparent from this Hadith that
Ibn 'Abbes had witnessed the event and came out saying this statement.
The truth is not so, for Ibn 'Abbas used to say this statement on
narrating the Hadith and he had not witnessed the event personally.
See Fath Al-Bari Vol. 1, p.220 footnote.) (See Hadith No. 228, Vol.
4).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 115:
Narrated Um Salama:
One night Allah's Apostle got up and said, "Subhan Allah! How
many afflictions have been descended tonight and how many treasures
have been disclosed! Go and wake the sleeping lady occupants of
these dwellings (his wives) up (for prayers). A well-dressed (soul)
in this world may be naked in the Hereafter. "
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 116:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Once the Prophet led us in the 'Isha' prayer during the last days
of his life and after finishing it (the prayer) (with Taslim) he
said: "Do you realize (the importance of) this night?"
Nobody present on the surface of the earth tonight will be living
after the completion of one hundred years from this night."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 117:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimuna bint Al-Harith
(the wife of the Prophet ) while the Prophet was there with her
during her night turn. The Prophet offered the 'Isha' prayer (in
the mosque), returned home and after having prayed four Rakat, he
slept. Later on he got up at night and then asked whether the boy
(or he used a similar word) had slept? Then he got up for the prayer
and I stood up by his left side but he made me stand to his right
and offered five Rakat followed by two more Rakat. Then he slept
and I heard him snoring and then (after a while) he left for the
(Fajr) prayer.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 118:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet's narrations).
Had it not been for two verses in the Qur'an, I would not have narrated
a single Hadith, and the verses are:
"Verily those who conceal the clear sign and the guidance which
We have sent down . . . (up to) Most Merciful." (2:159-160).
And no doubt our Muhajir (emigrant) brothers used to be busy in
the market with their business (bargains) and our Ansari brothers
used to be busy with their property (agriculture). But I (Abu Huraira)
used to stick to Allah's Apostle contented with what will fill my
stomach and I used to attend that which they used not to attend
and I used to memorize that which they used not to memorize.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 119:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said to Allah's Apostle "I hear many narrations (Hadiths)
from you but I forget them." Allah's Apostle said, "Spread
your Rida' (garment)." I did accordingly and then he moved
his hands as if filling them with something (and emptied them in
my Rida') and then said, "Take and wrap this sheet over your
body." I did it and after that I never forgot any thing.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 120:
Narrated Ibrahim bin Al-Mundhir:
Ibn Abi Fudaik narrated the same as above (Hadith...119) but added
that the Prophet had moved his hands as if filling them with something
and then he emptied them in the Rida' of Abu Huraira.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 121:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah's Apostle . I
have propagated one of them to you and if I propagated the second,
then my pharynx (throat) would be cut (i.e. killed).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 122:
Narrated Jarir:
The Prophet said to me during Hajjat-al-Wida': Let the people keep
quiet and listen. Then he said (addressing the people), "Do
not (become infidels) revert to disbelief after me by striking the
necks (cutting the throats) of one another (killing each other)."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 123:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Nauf-Al-Bakali claims that Moses (the
companion of Khadir) was not the Moses of Bani Israel but he was
another Moses." Ibn 'Abbas remarked that the enemy of Allah
(Nauf) was a liar.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 124:
Narrated Ubai bin Ka'b:
The Prophet said, "Once the Prophet Moses stood up and addressed
Bani Israel. He was asked, "Who is the most learned man amongst
the people. He said, "I am the most learned." Allah admonished
Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him (Allah).
So Allah inspired to him "At the junction of the two seas there
is a slave amongst my slaves who is more learned than you."
Moses said, "O my Lord! How can I meet him?" Allah said:
Take a fish in a large basket (and proceed) and you will find him
at the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set out along
with his (servant) boy, Yusha' bin Nuin and carried a fish in a
large basket till they reached a rock, where they laid their heads
(i.e. lay down) and slept. The fish came out of the basket and it
took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing thing
for both Moses and his (servant) boy. They proceeded for the rest
of that night and the following day. When the day broke, Moses said
to his (servant) boy: "Bring us our early meal. No doubt, we
have suffered much fatigue in this journey." Moses did not
get tired till he passed the place about which he was told. There
the (servant) boy told Moses, "Do you remember when we betook
ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish." Moses remarked,
"That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing
their foot-steps, till they reached the rock. There they saw a man
covered with a garment (or covering himself with his own garment).
Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir replied saying, "How do people
greet each other in your land?" Moses said, "I am Moses."
He asked, "The Moses of Bani Israel?" Moses replied in
the affirmative and added, "May I follow you so that you teach
me of that knowledge which you have been taught." Al-Khadir
replied, "Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with
me, O Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has
taught me and which you do not know, while you have some knowledge
which Allah has taught you which I do not know." Moses said,
"Allah willing, you will find me patient and I will not disobey
you in aught. So both of them set out walking along the sea-shore,
as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed by them
and they requested the crew of the boat to take them on board. The
crew recognized Al-Khadir and took them on board without fare. Then
a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its
beak once or twice in the sea. Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My
knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah's knowledge
except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea
with its beak." Al-Khadir went to one of the planks of the
boat and plucked it out. Moses said, "These people gave us
a free lift but you have broken their boat and scuttled it so as
to drown its people." Al-Khadir replied, "Didn't I tell
you that you will not be able to remain patient with me." Moses
said, "Call me not to account for what I forgot." The
first (excuse) of Moses was that he had forgotten. Then they proceeded
further and found a boy playing with other boys. Al-Khadir took
hold of the boy's head from the top and plucked it out with his
hands (i.e. killed him). Moses said, "Have you killed an innocent
soul who has killed none." Al-Kha,dir replied, "Did I
not tell you that you cannot remain patient with me?" Then
they both proceeded till when they came to the people of a town,
they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then
they found there a wall on the point of collapsing. Al-Khadir repaired
it with his own hands. Moses said, "If you had wished, surely
you could have taken wages for it." Al-Khadir replied, "This
is the parting between you and me." The Prophet added, "May
Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more patient
to learn more about his story with Al-Khadir. "
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 125:
Narrated Abu Musa:
A man came to the Prophet and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What
kind of fighting is in Allah's cause? (I ask this), for some of
us fight because of being enraged and angry and some for the sake
of his pride and haughtiness." The Prophet raised his head
(as the questioner was standing) and said, "He who fights so
that Allah's Word (Islam) should be superior, then he fights in
Allah's cause."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 126:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amar:
I saw the Prophet near the Jamra and the people were asking him
questions (about religious problems). A man asked, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have slaughtered the Hadi (animal) before doing the Rami."
The Prophet replied, "Do the Rami (now) and there is no harm."
Another person asked, "O Allah's Apostle! I got my head shaved
before slaughtering the animal." The Prophet replied, "Do
the slaughtering (now) and there is no harm." So on that day,
when the Prophet was asked about anything as regards the ceremonies
of Hajj performed before or after its due time his reply was, "Do
it (now) and there is no harm."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 127:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
While I was going with the Prophet through the ruins of Medina and
he was reclining on a date-palm leaf stalk, some Jews passed by.
Some of them said to the others: Ask him (the Prophet) about the
spirit. Some of them said that they should not ask him that question
as he might give a reply which would displease them. But some of
them insisted on asking, and so one of them stood up and asked,
"O Aba-l-Qasim ! What is the spirit?" The Prophet remained
quiet. I thought he was being inspired Divinely. So I stayed till
that state of the Prophet (while being inspired) was over. The Prophet
then said, "And they ask you (O Muhammad) concerning the spirit
--Say: The spirit -- its knowledge is with my Lord. And of knowledge
you (mankind) have been given only a little)." (17.85)
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 128:
Narrated Aswad:
Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, "Aisha used to tell you secretly
a number of things. What did she tell you about the Ka'ba?"
I replied, "She told me that once the Prophet said, 'O 'Aisha!
Had not your people been still close to the pre-Islamic period of
ignorance (infidelity)! I would have dismantled the Ka'ba and would
have made two doors in it; one for entrance and the other for exit."
Later on Ibn Az-Zubair did the same.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 129:
Narrated Abu At-Tufail:
the above mentioned Statement of 'Ali.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 130:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
"Once Mu'adh was along with Allah's Apostle as a companion
rider. Allah's Apostle said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal." Mu'adh
replied, "Labbaik and Sa'daik. O Allah's Apostle!" Again
the Prophet said, "O Mu'adh!" Mu'adh said thrice, "Labbaik
and Sa'daik, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said, "There
is none who testifies sincerely that none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah and Muhammad is his Apostle, except that Allah, will save
him from the Hell-fire." Mu'adh said, "O Allah's Apostle
! Should I not inform the people about it so that they may have
glad tidings?" He replied, "When the people hear about
it, they will solely depend on it." Then Mu'adh narrated the
above-mentioned Hadith just before his death, being afraid of committing
sin (by not telling the knowledge).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 131:
Narrated Anas:
I was informed that the Prophet had said to Mu'adh, "Whosoever
will meet Allah without associating anything in worship with Him
will go to Paradise." Mu'adh asked the Prophet, "Should
I not inform the people of this good news?" The Prophet replied,
"No, I am afraid, lest they should depend upon it (absolutely)."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 132:
Narrated Um Salama:
Um-Sulaim came to Allah's Apostle and said, "Verily, Allah
is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it necessary for a woman
to take a bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge?)
The Prophet replied, "Yes, if she notices a discharge."
Um Salama, then covered her face and asked, "O Allah's Apostle!
Does a woman get a discharge?" He replied, "Yes, let your
right hand be in dust (An Arabic expression you say to a person
when you contradict his statement meaning "you will not achieve
goodness"), and that is why the son resembles his mother."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 133:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Once Allah's Apostle said, "Amongst the trees there is a tree,
the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim, tell me the
name of that tree." Everybody started thinking about the trees
of the desert areas and I thought of the date-palm tree but felt
shy (to answer). The others asked, "O Allah's Apostle! inform
us of it." He replied, "it is the date-palm tree."
I told my father what had come to my mind and on that he said, "Had
you said it I would have preferred it to such and such a thing that
I might possess."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 134:
Narrated 'Ali:
I used to get the emotional urethral discharge frequently so I requested
Al-Miqdad to ask the Prophet about it. Al-Miqdad asked him and he
replied, "One has to perform ablution (after it)." (See
Hadith No. 269).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 135:
Narrated Nafi:
'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "A man got up in the mosque and said:
O Allah's Apostle 'At which place you order us that we should assume
the Ihram?' Allah's Apostle replied, 'The residents of Medina should
assure the Ihram from Dhil-Hulaifa, the people of Syria from Al-Ju,hfa
and the people of Najd from Qarn." Ibn 'Umar further said,
"The people consider that Allah's Apostle had also said, 'The
residents of Yemen should assume Ihram from Yalamlam.' " Ibn
'Umar used to say, "I do not: remember whether Allah's Apostle
had said the last statement or not?"
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 136:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
A man asked the Prophet : "What (kinds of clothes) should a
Muhrim (a Muslim intending to perform 'Umra or Hajj) wear? He replied,
"He should not wear a shirt, a turban, trousers, a head cloak
or garment scented with saffron or Wars (kinds of perfumes). And
if he has n slippers, then he can use Khuffs (leather socks) but
the socks should be cut short so as to make the ankles bare."
(See Hadith No. 615, Vol. 2).
