to clean the Mosque and then died. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) did
not know about it . One day the Prophet remembered him and

Allah's Apostle! He died." He said, "Why did you not inform
me?" They said, "His story was so and so (i.e. regarded him as
insignificant)." He said, "Show me his grave." He then went to
his grave and offered the funeral prayer.
2.422:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "When a human being is laid in his grave and
his companions return and he even hears their foot steps, two
angels come to him and make him sit and ask him: What did you
use to say about this man, Muhammad ? He will say: I testify
that he is Allah's slave and His Apostle. Then it will be said
to him, 'Look at your place in the Hell−Fire. Allah has given
you a place in Paradise instead of it.' " The Prophet added,
"The dead person will see both his places. But a non−believer
or a hypocrite will say to the angels, 'I do not know, but I
used to say what the people used to say! It will be said to
him, 'Neither did you know nor did you take the guidance (by
reciting the Qur'an).' Then he will be hit with an iron hammer
between his two ears, and he will cry and that cry will be
heard by whatever approaches him except human beings and
jinns."
2.423:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The angel of death was sent to Moses and
when he went to him, Moses slapped him severely, spoiling one
of his eyes. The angel went back to his Lord, and said, "You
sent me to a slave who does not want to die." Allah restored
his eye and said, "Go back and tell him (i.e. Moses) to place
his hand over the back of an ox, for he will be allowed to
live for a number of years equal to the number of hairs coming
under his hand." (So the angel came to him and told him the
same). Then Moses asked, "O my Lord! What will be then?" He
said, "Death will be then." He said, "(Let it be) now." He
asked Allah that He bring him near the Sacred Land at a
distance of a stone's throw. Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said,
"Were I there I would show you the grave of Moses by the way
near the red sand hill."
2.424:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) offered the funeral
prayer of a man one night after he was buried, he and his
companions stood up (for the Prayer). He had asked them about
him before standing, saying, "Who is this?" They said, "He is
so and so and was buried last night." So all of them offered
the funeral prayer.
2.425:
Narrated `Aisha:
When the Prophet became ill, some of his wives talked about a
church which they had seen in Ethiopia and it was called
Mariya. Um Salma and Um Habiba had been to Ethiopia, and both
of them narrated its (the Church's) beauty and the pictures it
contained. The Prophet raised his head and said, "Those are
the people who, whenever a pious man dies amongst them, make a
place of worship at his grave and then they make those
pictures in it. Those are the worst creatures in the Sight of
Allah."
2.426:
Narrated Anas:
We were in the funeral procession of the daughter of Allah's
Apostle and Allah's Apostle was sitting near the grave and I
saw his eyes full of tears. He said, "Is there anyone amongst
you who did not have sexual relations with his wife last
night?" Abu Talha replied in the affirmative. And so Allah's
Apostle told him to get down in her grave and he got down in
her grave and buried her.
2.427:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet collected every two
martyrs of Uhud in one piece of cloth, then he would ask,
"Which of them had (knew) more of the Qur'an?" When one of
them was pointed out for him, he would put that one first in
the grave and say, "I will be a witness on these on the Day of
Resurrection." He ordered them to be buried with their blood
on their bodies and they were neither washed nor was a funeral
prayer offered for them.
2.428:
Narrated `Uqba bin 'Amir: One day the Prophet went out and
offered the funeral prayers of the martyrs of Uhud and then
went up the pulpit and said, "I will pave the way for you as
your predecessor and will be a witness on you. By Allah! I see
my Fount (Kauthar) just now and I have been given the keys of
all the treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By
Allah! I am not afraid that you will worship others along with
Allah after my death, but I am afraid that you will fight with
one another for the worldly things."
2.429:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah : The Prophet buried every two
martyrs in of Uhud in one grave.
2.430:
Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet said, "Bury them (i.e. martyrs) with their blood."
(that was) On the day of the Battle of Uhud. He did not get
them washed.
2.431:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah : Allah's Apostle shrouded every
two martyrs of Uhud in one piece of cloth and then he would
ask, "Which of them knew more Qur'an?" When one of them was
pointed out he would put him first in the grave. He said, "I
am a witness on these." Then he ordered them to be buried with
blood on their bodies. Neither did he offer their funeral
prayer nor did he get them washed. (Jabir bin `Abdullah
added): Allah's Apostle used to ask about the martyrs of Uhud
as to which of them knew more of the Qur'an." And when one of
them was pointed out as having more of it he would put him
first in the grave and then his companions. (Jabir added): My
father and my uncle were shrouded in one sheet.
2.432:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "Allah has made Mecca a
sanctuary (sacred place) and it was a sanctuary before me and
will be so after me. It was made legal for me (to fight in it)
for a few hours of the day. None is allowed to uproot its
thorny shrubs or to cut its trees or to chase its game or to
pick up its fallen things except by a person who announces it
publicly." On that Al−Abbas said (to the Prophet), "Except
Al−Idhkhir for our goldsmiths and for our graves." And so the
Prophet added, "Except Al−Idhkhir. " And Abu Huraira narrated
that the Prophet said, "Except Al−Idhkhir for our graves and
houses." And Ibn `Abbas said, "For their goldsmiths and
houses."
2.433:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: Allah's Apostle came to
`Abdullah bin Ubai (a hypocrite) after his death and he has
been laid in his pit (grave). He ordered (that he be taken out
of the grave) and he was taken out. Then he placed him on his
knees and threw some of his saliva on him and clothed him in
his (the Prophet's) own shirt. Allah knows better (why he did
so). `Abdullah bin Ubai had given his shirt to Al−Abbas to
wear. Abu Harun said, "Allah's Apostle at that time had two
shirts and the son of `Abdullah bin Ubai said to him, 'O
Allah's Apostle! Clothe my father in your shirt which has been
in contact with your skin.' ' Sufyan added, "Thus people think
that the Prophet clothed `Abdullah bin Tubal in his shirt in
lieu of what he (Abdullah) had done (for Al `Abbas, the
Prophet's uncle.)"
2.434:
Narrated Jabir:
When the time of the Battle of Uhud approached, my father
called me at night and said, "I think that I will be the first
amongst the companions of the Prophet to be martyred. I do not
leave anyone after me dearer to me than you, except Allah's
Apostle's soul and I owe some debt and you should repay it and
treat your sisters favorably (nicely and politely)." So in the
morning he was the first to be martyred and was buried along
with another (martyr). I did not like to leave him with the
other (martyr) so I took him out of the grave after six months
of his burial and he was in the same condition as he was on
the day of burial, except a slight change near his ear.
2.435:
Narrated Jabir:
A man was buried along with my father and I did not like it
till I took him (i.e. my father) out and buried him in a
separate grave.
2.436:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet collected every two
martyrs of Uhud (in one grave) and then he would ask, "Which
of them knew the Qur'an more?" And if one of them was pointed
out for him as having more knowledge, he would put him first
in the Lahd. The Prophet said, "I will be a witness on these
on the Day of Resurrection." Then he ordered them to be buried
with their blood on their bodies and he did not have them
washed.
2.437:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: `Umar set out along with the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) with a group of people to Ibn Saiyad till they saw
him playing with the boys near the hillocks of Bani Mughala.
Ibn Saiyad at that time was nearing his puberty and did not
notice (us) until the Prophet stroked him with his hand and
said to him, "Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?" Ibn
Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the
Messenger of illiterates." Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet
(p.b.u.h), "Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?" The
Prophet (p.b.u.h) refuted it and said, "I believe in Allah and
His Apostles." Then he said (to Ibn Saiyad), "What do you
think?" Ibn Saiyad answered, "True people and liars visit me."
The Prophet said, "You have been confused as to this matter."
Then the Prophet said to him, "I have kept something (in my
mind) for you, (can you tell me that?)" Ibn Saiyad said, "It
is Al−Dukh (the smoke)." (2) The Prophet said, "Let you be in
ignominy. You cannot cross your limits." On that `Umar, said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off." The
Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "If he is he (i.e. Dajjal), then you
cannot overpower him, and if he is not, then there is no use
of murdering him." (Ibn `Umar added): Later on Allah's Apostle
(p.b.u.h) once again went along with Ubai bin Ka`b to the
date−palm trees (garden) where Ibn Saiyad was staying. The
Prophet (p.b.u.h) wanted to hear something from Ibn Saiyad
before Ibn Saiyad could see him, and the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saw
him lying covered with a sheet and from where his murmurs were
heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw Allah's Apostle while he was
hiding himself behind the trunks of the date−palm trees. She
addressed Ibn Saiyad, "O Saf ! (and this was the name of Ibn
Saiyad) Here is Muhammad." And with that Ibn Saiyad got up.
The Prophet said, "Had this woman left him (Had she not
disturbed him), then Ibn Saiyad would have revealed the
reality of his case.
2.438:
Narrated Anas:
A young Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet and he became
sick. So the Prophet went to visit him. He sat near his head
and asked him to embrace Islam. The boy looked at his father,
who was sitting there; the latter told him to obey Abul−Qasim
and the boy embraced Islam. The Prophet came out saying:
"Praises be to Allah Who saved the boy from the Hell−fire."
2.439:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: My mother and I were among the weak and
oppressed. I from among the children, and my mother from among
the women.
2.440:
Narrated Ibn Shihab: The funeral prayer should be offered for
every child even if he were the son of a prostitute as he was
born with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but
Allah Alone). If his parents are Muslims, particularly the
father, even if his mother were a non−Muslim, and if he after
the delivery cries (even once) before his death (i.e. born
alive) then the funeral prayer must be offered. And if the
child does not cry after his delivery (i.e. born dead) then
his funeral prayer should not be offered, and he will be
considered as a miscarriage. Abu Huraira, narrated that the
Prophet said, "Every child is born with a true faith (i.e. to
worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to
Judaism or to Christianity or to Magainism, as an animal
delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?"
Then Abu Huraira recited the holy verses: 'The pure Allah's
Islamic nature (true faith i.e. to worship none but Allah
Alone), with which He has created human beings.' " (30.30).
2.441:
Narrated Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "Every child is
born with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but
Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism,
Christianity or Magainism, as an animal delivers a perfect
baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?" Then Abu Huraira
recited the holy verses: "The pure Allah's Islamic nature
(true faith of Islam) (i.e. worshipping none but Allah) with
which He has created human beings. No change let there be in
the religion of Allah (i.e. joining none in worship with
Allah). That is the straight religion (Islam) but most of men
know, not." (30.30)
2.442:
Narrated Sa`id bin Al−Musaiyab from his father: When the time
of the death of Abu Talib approached, Allah's Apostle went to
him and found Abu Jahl bin Hisham and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya
bin Al−Mughira by his side. Allah's Apostle said to Abu Talib,
"O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,
a sentence with which I shall be a witness (i.e. argue) for
you before Allah. Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said,
"O Abu Talib! Are you going to denounce the religion of `Abdul
Muttalib?" Allah's Apostle kept on inviting Abu Talib to say
it (i.e. 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah')
while they (Abu Jahl and `Abdullah) kept on repeating their
statement till Abu Talib said as his last statement that he
was on the religion of `Abdul Muttalib and refused to say,
'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' (Then Allah's
Apostle said, "I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for
you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah
revealed (the verse) concerning him (i.e. It is not fitting
for the Prophet and those who believe that they should invoke
(Allah) for forgiveness for pagans even though they be of kin,
after it has become clear to them that they are companions of
the fire (9.113).
2.443:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet once passed by two graves,
and those two persons (in the graves) were being tortured. He
said, "They are being tortured not for a great thing (to
avoid). One of them never saved himself from being soiled with
his urine, while the other was going about with calumnies (to
make enmity between friends). He then took a green leaf of a
date−palm tree split it into two pieces and fixed one on each
grave. The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why have you done
so?" He replied, "I hope that their punishment may be lessened
till they (the leaf) become dry."
2.444:
Narrated `Ali:
" We were accompanying a funeral procession in Baqi−I−Gharqad.
The Prophet came to us and sat and we sat around him. He had a
small stick in his hand then he bent his head and started
scraping the ground with it. He then said, "There is none
among you, and not a created soul, but has place either in
Paradise or in Hell assigned for him and it is also determined
for him whether he will be among the blessed or wretched." A
man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Should we not depend on what has
been written for us and leave the deeds as whoever amongst us
is blessed will do the deeds of a blessed person and whoever
amongst us will be wretched, will do the deeds of a wretched
person?" The Prophet said, "The good deeds are made easy for
the blessed, and bad deeds are made easy for the wretched."
Then he recited the Verses:−− "As for him who gives (in
charity) and is Allah−fearing And believes in the Best reward
from Allah. " (9
2.5−6)
2.445:
Narrated Thabit bin Ad−Dahhak: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said,
"Whoever intentionally swears falsely by a religion other than
Islam, then he is what he has said, (e.g. if he says, 'If such
thing is not true then I am a Jew,' he is really a Jew). And
whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished
with the same piece of iron in the Hell Fire." Narrated Jundab
the Prophet said, "A man was inflicted with wounds and he
committed suicide, and so Allah said: My slave has caused
death on himself hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him."
2.446:
Narrated Abu Huraira−: The Prophet said, "He who commits
suicide by throttling shall keep on throttling himself in the
Hell Fire (forever) and he who commits suicide by stabbing
himself shall keep on stabbing himself in the Hell−Fire."
2.447:
Narrated `Umar bin Al−Khattab : When `Abdullah bin Ubai bin
Salul died, Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) was called upon to offer
his funeral prayer. When Allah's Apostle stood up to offer the
prayer, I got up quickly and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Are you
going to pray for Ibn Ubai and he said so and so on such and
such occasions?" And started mentioning all that he had said.
Allah's Apostle smiled and said, "O `Umar! Go away from me."
When I talked too much he said, "I have been given the choice
and so I have chosen (to offer the prayer). Had I known that
he would be forgiven by asking for Allah's forgiveness for
more than seventy times, surely I would have done so." (`Umar
added): Allah's Apostle offered his funeral prayer and
returned and after a short while the two verses of Surat Bara'
were revealed: i.e. "And never (O Muhammad) pray for any of
them who dies . . . (to the end of the verse) rebellion
(9.84)" −− (`Umar added), "Later I astonished at my daring
before Allah's Apostle on that day. And Allah and His Apostle
know better."
2.448:
Narrated Anas bin Malik, : A funeral procession passed and the
people praised the deceased. The Prophet said, "It has been
affirmed to him." Then another funeral procession passed and
the people spoke badly of the deceased. The Prophet said, "It
has been affirmed to him". `Umar bin Al−Khattab asked (Allah's
Apostle (p.b.u.h) ), "What has been affirmed?" He replied,
"You praised this, so Paradise has been affirmed to him; and
you spoke badly of this, so Hell has been affirmed to him. You
people are Allah's witnesses on earth."
2.449:
Narrated Abu Al−Aswad: I came to Medina when an epidemic had
broken out. While I was sitting with `Umar bin Al−Khattab a
funeral procession passed by and the people praised the
deceased. `Umar said, "It has been affirmed to him." And
another funeral procession passed by and the people praised
the deceased. `Umar said, "It has been affirmed to him." A
third (funeral procession) passed by and the people spoke
badly of the deceased. He said, "It has been affirmed to him."
I (Abu Al−Aswad) asked, "O chief of the believers! What has
been affirmed?" He replied, "I said the same as the Prophet
had said, that is: if four persons testify the piety of a
Muslim, Allah will grant him Paradise." We asked, "If three
persons testify his piety?" He (the Prophet) replied, "Even
three." Then we asked, "If two?" He replied, "Even two." We
did not ask him regarding one witness.
2.450:
Narrated Al−Bara' bin `Azib : The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said,
"When a faithful believer is made to sit in his grave, then
(the angels) come to him and he testifies that none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's
Apostle. And that corresponds to Allah's statement: Allah will
keep firm those who believe with the word that stands firm . .
. (14.27).
2.451:
Narrated Shu`ba:
Same as above and added, "Allah will keep firm those who
believe . . . (14.27) was revealed concerning the punishment
of the grave."
2.452:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet looked at the people of the
well (the well in which the bodies of the pagans killed in the
Battle of Badr were thrown) and said, "Have you found true
what your Lord promised you?" Somebody said to him, "You are
addressing dead people." He replied, "You do not hear better
than they but they cannot reply."
2.453:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet said, "They now realize that what I used to tell
them was the truth. "And Allah said, 'Verily! You cannot make
the dead to hear (i.e. benefit them, and similarly the
disbelievers) nor can you make the deaf hear. (27.80).
2.454:
Narrated Masruq:
`Aisha said that a Jewess came to her and mentioned the
punishment in the grave, saying to her, "May Allah protect you
from the punishment of the grave." `Aisha then asked Allah's
Apostle about the punishment of the grave. He said, "Yes,
(there is) punishment in the grave." `Aisha added, "After that
I never saw Allah's Apostle but seeking refuge with Allah from
the punishment in the grave in every prayer he prayed."
2.455:
Narrated Asma' bint Abi Bakr : Allah's Apostle once stood up
delivering a sermon and mentioned the trial which people will
face in the grave. When he mentioned that, the Muslims started
shouting loudly.
2.456:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle said, "When (Allah's)
slave is put in his grave and his companions return and he
even hears their footsteps, two angels come to him and make
him sit and ask, 'What did you use to say about this man (i.e.
Muhammad)?' The faithful Believer will say, 'I testify that he
is Allah's slave and His Apostle.' Then they will say to him,
'Look at your place in the Hell Fire; Allah has given you a
place in Paradise instead of it.' So he will see both his
places." (Qatada said, "We were informed that his grave would
be made spacious." Then Qatada went back to the narration of
Anas who said;) Whereas a hypocrite or a non−believer will be
asked, "What did you use to say about this man." He will
reply, "I do not know; but I used to say what the people used
to say." So they will say to him, "Neither did you know nor
did you take the guidance (by reciting the Qur'an)." Then he
will be hit with iron hammers once, that he will send such a
cry as everything near to him will hear, except Jinns and
human beings. (See Hadith No. 422).
2.457:
Narrated Abi Aiyub: Once the Prophet went out after sunset and
heard a dreadful voice, and said, "The Jews are being punished
in their graves."

id bin Al−`Asi) who said that she had heard the Prophet
seeking refuge with Allah from the punishment in the grave.

"Allahumma ini a`udhu bika min 'adhabi−l−Qabr, wa min
'adhabi−nnar, wa min fitnati−l−mahya wa−lmamat, wa min
fitnati−l−masih ad−dajjal. (O Allah! I seek refuge with you
from the punishment in the grave and from the punishment in
the Hell fire and from the afflictions of life and death, and
the afflictions of Al−Masih Ad−Dajjal."
2.460:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet once passed by two graves and
said, "They (the deceased persons in those graves) are being
tortured not for a great thing to avoid." And then added,
"Yes, (they are being punished for a big sin), for one of them
used to go about with calumnies while the other never saved
himself from being soiled with his urine." (Ibn `Abbas added):
Then he took a green leaf of a date−palm) and split it into
two pieces and fixed one piece on each grave and said, "May
their punishment be abated till these (two pieces) get dry."
2.461:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar : Allah's Apostle said, "When
anyone of you dies, he is shown his place both in the morning
and in the evening. If he is one of the people of Paradise; he
is shown his place in it, and if he is from the people of the
Hell−Fire; he is shown his place there−in. Then it is said to
him, 'This is your place till Allah resurrect you on the Day
of Resurrection."
2.462:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri : Allah's Apostle said, "When the
funeral is ready (for its burial) and the people lift it on
their shoulders, then if the deceased is a righteous person he
says, 'Take me ahead,' and if he is not a righteous one then
he says, 'Woe to it (me)! Where are you taking it (me)?' And
his voice is audible to everything except human beings; and if
they heard it they would fall down unconscious . "
2.463:
Narrated Anas bin Malik Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Any
Muslim whose three children died before the age of puberty
will be granted Paradise by Allah because of His mercy to
them."
2.464:
Narrated Al−Bara': When Ibrahim (the son of Prophet) expired,
Allah's Apostle said, "There is a wet−nurse for him in
Paradise."
2.465:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) was asked about
the children of (Mushrikeen) pagans. The Prophet replied,
"Since Allah created them, He knows what sort of deeds they
would have done."
2.466:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet was asked about the
offspring of pagans (Mushrikeen); so he said, "Allah knows
what sort of deeds they would have done."
2.467:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Every child is born
with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but Allah
Alone) and his parents convert him to Judaism or Christianity
or Magianism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do
you find it mutilated?"
2.468:
Narrated Samura bin Jundab: Whenever the Prophet finished the
(morning) prayer, he would face us and ask, "Who amongst you
had a dream last night?" So if anyone had seen a dream he
would narrate it. The Prophet would say: "Ma sha'a−llah" (An
Arabic maxim meaning literally, 'What Allah wished,' and it
indicates a good omen.) One day, he asked us whether anyone of
us had seen a dream. We replied in the negative. The Prophet
said, "But I had seen (a dream) last night that two men came
to me, caught hold of my hands, and took me to the Sacred Land
(Jerusalem). There, I saw a person sitting and another
standing with an iron hook in his hand pushing it inside the
mouth of the former till it reached the jawbone, and then tore
off one side of his cheek, and then did the same with the
other side; in the meantime the first side of his cheek became
normal again and then he repeated the same operation again. I
said, 'What is this?' They told me to proceed on and we went
on till we came to a man Lying flat on his back, and another
man standing at his head carrying a stone or a piece of rock,
and crushing the head of the Lying man, with that stone.
Whenever he struck him, the stone rolled away. The man went to
pick it up and by the time he returned to him, the crushed
head had returned to its normal state and the man came back
and struck him again (and so on). I said, 'Who is this?' They
told me to proceed on; so we proceeded on and passed by a hole
like an oven; with a narrow top and wide bottom, and the fire
was kindling underneath that hole. Whenever the fire−flame
went up, the people were lifted up to such an extent that they
about to get out of it, and whenever the fire got quieter, the
people went down into it, and there were naked men and women
in it. I said, 'Who is this?' They told me to proceed on. So
we proceeded on till we reached a river of blood and a man was
in it, and another man was standing at its bank with stones in
front of him, facing the man standing in the river. Whenever
the man in the river wanted to come out, the other one threw a
stone in his mouth and caused him to retreat to his original
position; and so whenever he wanted to come out the other
would throw a stone in his mouth, and he would retreat to his
original position. I asked, 'What is this?' They told me to
proceed on and we did so till we reached a well−flourished
green garden having a huge tree and near its root was sitting
an old man with some children. (I saw) Another man near the
tree with fire in front of him and he was kindling it up. Then
they (i.e. my two companions) made me climb up the tree and
made me enter a house, better than which I have ever seen. In
it were some old men and young men, women and children. Then
they took me out of this house and made me climb up the tree
and made me enter another house that was better and superior
(to the first) containing old and young people. I said to them
(i.e. my two companions), 'You have made me ramble all the
night. Tell me all about that I have seen.' They said, 'Yes.
As for the one whose cheek you saw being torn away, he was a
liar and he used to tell lies, and the people would report
those lies on his authority till they spread all over the
world. So, he will be punished like that till the Day of
Resurrection. The one whose head you saw being crushed is the
one whom Allah had given the knowledge of Qur'an (i.e. knowing
it by heart) but he used to sleep at night (i.e. he did not
recite it then) and did not use to act upon it (i.e. upon its
orders etc.) by day; and so this punishment will go on till
the Day of Resurrection. And those you saw in the hole (like
oven) were adulterers (those men and women who commit illegal
sexual intercourse). And those you saw in the river of blood
were those dealing in Riba (usury). And the old man who was
sitting at the base of the tree was Abraham and the little
children around him were the offspring of the people. And the
one who was kindling the fire was Malik, the gatekeeper of the
Hell−fire. And the first house in which you have gone was the
house of the common believers, and the second house was of the
martyrs. I am Gabriel and this is Michael. Raise your head.' I
raised my head and saw a thing like a cloud over me. They
said, 'That is your place.' I said, 'Let me enter my place.'
They said, 'You still have some life which you have not yet
completed, and when you complete (that remaining portion of
your life) you will then enter your place.' "
2.469:
Narrated Hisham's father: Aisha said, "I went to Abu Bakr
(during his fatal illness) and he asked me, 'In how many
garments was the Prophet shrouded?' She replied, 'In three
Suhuliya pieces of white cloth of cotton, and there was
neither a shirt nor a turban among them.' Abu Bakr further
asked her, 'On which day did the Prophet die?' She replied,
'He died on Monday.' He asked, 'What is today?' She replied,
'Today is Monday.' He added, 'I hope I shall die sometime
between this morning and tonight.' Then he looked at a garment
that he was wearing during his illness and it had some stains
of saffron. Then he said, 'Wash this garment of mine and add
two more garments and shroud me in them.' I said, 'This is
worn out.' He said, 'A living person has more right to wear
new clothes than a dead one; the shroud is only for the body's
pus.' He did not die till it was the night of Tuesday and was
buried before the morning."
2.470:
Narrated Aisha:
A man said to the Prophet (p.b.u.h), "My mother died suddenly
and I thought that if she had lived she would have given alms.
So, if I give alms now on her behalf, will she get the
reward?" The Prophet replied in the affirmative.
2.471:
Narrated `Aisha:
During his sickness, Allah's Apostle was asking repeatedly,
"Where am I today? Where will I be tomorrow?" And I was
waiting for the day of my turn (impatiently). Then, when my
turn came, Allah took his soul away (in my lap) between my
chest and arms and he was buried in my house.
2.472:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle in his fatal illness said, "Allah cursed the
Jews and the Christians, for they built the places of worship
at the graves of their prophets." And if that had not been the
case, then the Prophet's grave would have been made prominent
before the people. So (the Prophet ) was afraid, or the people
were afraid that his grave might be taken as a place for
worship.
2.473:
Narrated Abu Bakr bin `Aiyash : Sufyan at−Tammar told me that
he had seen the grave of the Prophet elevated and convex.
2.474:
Narrated `Urwa:
When the wall fell on them (i.e. graves) during the caliphate
of Al−Walid bin `Abdul Malik, the people started repairing it,
and a foot appeared to them. The people got scared and thought
that it was the foot of the Prophet. No one could be found who
could tell them about it till I (`Urwa) said to them, "By
Allah, this is not the foot of the Prophet but it is the foot
of `Umar." Aisha narrated that she made a will to `Abdullah
bin Zubair, "Do not bury me with them (the Prophet and his two
companions) but bury me with my companions (wives of the
Prophet (p.b.u.h) ) in Al−Baqi as I would not like to be
looked upon as better than I really am (by being buried near
the Prophet)."
2.475:
Narrated `Amr bin Maimun Al−Audi: I saw `Umar bin Al−Khattab
(when he was stabbed) saying, "O `Abdullah bin `Umar! Go to
the mother of the believers Aisha and say, `Umar bin
Al−Khattab sends his greetings to you,' and request her to
allow me to be buried with my companions." (So, Ibn `Umar
conveyed the message to `Aisha.) She said, "I had the idea of
having this place for myself but today I prefer him (`Umar) to
myself (and allow him to be buried there)." When `Abdullah bin
`Umar returned, `Umar asked him, "What (news) do you have?" He
replied, "O chief of the believers! She has allowed you (to be
buried there)." On that `Umar said, "Nothing was more
important to me than to be buried in that (sacred) place. So,
when I expire, carry me there and pay my greetings to her
(`Aisha ) and say, `Umar bin Al−Khattab asks permission; and
if she gives permission, then bury me (there) and if she does
not, then take me to the graveyard of the Muslims. I do not
think any person has more right for the caliphate than those
with whom Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) was always pleased till
his death. And whoever is chosen by the people after me will
be the caliph, and you people must listen to him and obey
him," and then he mentioned the name of `Uthman, `Ali, Talha,
Az−Zubair, `Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf and Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas. By
this time a young man from Ansar came and said, "O chief of
the believers! Be happy with Allah's glad tidings. The grade
which you have in Islam is known to you, then you became the
caliph and you ruled with justice and then you have been
awarded martyrdom after all this." `Umar replied, "O son of my
brother! Would that all that privileges will counterbalance
(my short comings), so that I neither lose nor gain anything.
I recommend my successor to be good to the early emigrants and
realize their rights and to protect their honor and sacred
things. And I also recommend him to be good to the Ansar who
before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith.
He should accept the good of the righteous among them and
should excuse their wrongdoers. I recommend him to abide by
the rules and regulations concerning the Dhimmis (protectees)
of Allah and His Apostle, to fulfill their contracts
completely and fight for them and not to tax (overburden) them
beyond their capabilities."
2.476:
Narrated `Aisha :
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Don't abuse the dead, because
they have reached the result of what they forwarded."
2.477:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas.: Abu Lahab, may Allah curse him, once
said to the Prophet (p.b.u.h), "Perish you all the day." Then
the Divine Inspiration came: "Perish the hands of Abi Lahab!
And perish he!" (11
1.1).
2.478:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Thy Prophet sent Mu`adh to Yemen and
said, "Invite the people to testify that none has the right to
be worshipped but Allah and I am Allah's Apostle, and if they
obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah has enjoined on
them five prayers in every day and night (in twenty−four
hours), and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that
Allah has made it obligatory for them to pay the Zakat from
their property and it is to be taken from the wealthy among
them and given to the poor."
2.479:
Narrated Abu Aiyub: A man said to the Prophet "Tell me of such
a deed as will make me enter Paradise." The people said, "What
is the matter with him? What is the matter with him?" The
Prophet said, "He has something to ask. (What he needs
greatly) The Prophet said: (In order to enter Paradise) you
should worship Allah and do not ascribe any partners to Him,
offer prayer perfectly, pay the Zakat and keep good relations
with your Kith and kin." (See Hadith No. 12, Vol 8).
2.480:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A Bedouin came to the Prophet and said,
"Tell me of such a deed as will make me enter Paradise, if I
do it." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Worship Allah, and
worship none along with Him, offer the (five) prescribed
compulsory prayers perfectly, pay the compulsory Zakat, and
fast the month of Ramadan." The Bedouin said, "By Him, in
Whose Hands my life is, I will not do more than this." When he
(the Bedouin) left, the Prophet said, "Whoever likes to see a
man of Paradise, then he may look at this man."
2.481:
Narrated Abu Zur'a: From the Prophet the same as above.
2.482:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: A delegation of the tribe of `Abdul Qais
came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are from
the tribe of Rabi`a, and the infidels of the tribe of Mudar
stands between us and you; so we cannot come to you except
during the Sacred Months. Please order us to do something
(religious deeds) which we may carry out and also invite to it
our people whom we have left behind." The Prophet said, "I
order you to do four things and forbid you four others: (I
order you) to have faith in Allah, and confess that none has
the right to be worshipped but Allah, (and the Prophet
gestured with his hand like this (i.e. one knot) and to offer
prayers perfectly and to pay the Zakat, and to pay one−fifth
of the booty in Allah's Cause. And I forbid you to use Dubba',
Hantam, Naqir and Muzaffat (all these are the names of
utensils used for preparing alcoholic drinks)."
2.483:
Narrated Abu Huraira: When Allah's Apostle died and Abu Bakr
became the caliph some Arabs renegade (reverted to disbelief)
(Abu Bakr decided to declare war against them), `Umar, said to
Abu Bakr, "How can you fight with these people although
Allah's Apostle said, 'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight
the people till they say: "None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah, and whoever said it then he will save his life and
property from me except on trespassing the law (rights and
conditions for which he will be punished justly), and his
accounts will be with Allah.' " Abu Bakr said, "By Allah! I
will fight those who differentiate between the prayer and the
Zakat as Zakat is the compulsory right to be taken from the
property (according to Allah's orders) By Allah! If they
refuse to pay me even a she−kid which they used to pay at the
time of Allah's Apostle . I would fight with them for
withholding it" Then `Umar said, "By Allah, it was nothing,
but Allah opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision (to
fight) and I came to know that his decision was right."
Bk. 24: Obligatory Charity Tax (Zakat)
2.484: Narrated Jarir bin `Abdullah , I gave the pledge of
allegiance to the Prophet for offering prayer perfectly,
giving Zakat, and giving good advice to every Muslim.
2.485:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "(On the Day of
Resurrection) camels will come to their owner in the best
state of health they have ever had (in the world), and if he
had not paid their Zakat (in the world) then they would tread
him with their feet; and similarly, sheep will come to their
owner in the best state of health they have ever had in the
world, and if he had not paid their Zakat, then they would
tread him with their hooves and would butt him with their
horns." The Prophet added, "One of their rights is that they
should be milked while water is kept in front of them." The
Prophet added, "I do not want anyone of you to come to me on
the Day of Resurrection, carrying over his neck a sheep that
will be bleating. Such a person will (then) say, 'O Muhammad!
(please intercede for me,) I will say to him. 'I can't help
you, for I conveyed Allah's Message to you.' Similarly, I do
not want anyone of you to come to me carrying over his neck a
camel that will be grunting. Such a person (then) will say "O
Muhammad! (please intercede for me)." I will say to him, "I
can't help you for I conveyed Allah's message to you."
2.486:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever is made
wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth,
then on the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be made like a
baldheaded poisonous male snake with two black spots over the
eyes. The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and
say, 'I am your wealth, I am your treasure.' " Then the
Prophet recited the holy verses:−− 'Let not those who withhold
. . .' (to the end of the verse). (3.180).
2.487:
Narrated Abu Sa`id: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "No Zakat
is due on property mounting to less than five Uqiyas (of
silver), and no Zakat is due on less than five camels, and
there is no Zakat on less than five Wasqs." (A Wasqs equals 60
Sa's) & (1 Sa=3 K gms App.)
2.488:
Narrated Zaid bin Wahab: I passed by a place called Ar−Rabadha
and by chance I met Abu Dhar and asked him, "What has brought
you to this place?" He said, "I was in Sham and differed with
Muawiya on the meaning of (the following verses of the
Qur'an): 'They who hoard up gold and silver and spend them not
in the way of Allah.' (9.34). Muawiya said, 'This verse is
revealed regarding the people of the scriptures." I said, It
was revealed regarding us and also the people of the
scriptures." So we had a quarrel and Mu'awiya sent a complaint
against me to `Uthman. `Uthman wrote to me to come to Medina,
and I came to Medina. Many people came to me as if they had
not seen me before. So I told this to `Uthman who said to me,
"You may depart and live nearby if you wish." That was the
reason for my being here for even if an Ethiopian had been
nominated as my ruler, I would have obeyed him .
2.489:
Narrated Al−Ahnaf bin Qais: While I was sitting with some
people from Quraish, a man with very rough hair, clothes, and
appearance came and stood in front of us, greeted us and said,
"Inform those who hoard wealth, that a stone will be heated in
the Hell−fire and will be put on the nipples of their breasts
till it comes out from the bones of their shoulders and then
put on the bones of their shoulders till it comes through the
nipples of their breasts the stone will be moving and
hitting." After saying that, the person retreated and sat by
the side of the pillar, I followed him and sat beside him, and
I did not know who he was. I said to him, "I think the people
disliked what you had said." He said, "These people do not
understand anything, although my friend told me." I asked,
"Who is your friend?" He said, "The Prophet said (to me), 'O
Abu Dhar! Do you see the mountain of Uhud?' And on that I (Abu
Dhar) started looking towards the sun to judge how much
remained of the day as I thought that Allah's Apostle wanted
to send me to do something for him and I said, 'Yes!' He said,
'I do not love to have gold equal to the mountain of Uhud
unless I spend it all (in Allah's cause) except three Dinars
(pounds). These people do not understand and collect worldly
wealth. No, by Allah, Neither I ask them for worldly benefits
nor am I in need of their religious advice till I meet Allah,
The Honorable, The Majestic." '
2.490:
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: I heard the Prophet saying, "There is no
envy except in two: a person whom Allah has given wealth and
he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has
given wisdom (i.e. religious knowledge) and he gives his
decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others."
2.491:
Narrated Abu Huraira Allah's Apostle said, "If one give in
charity what equals one date−fruit from the honestly earned
money and Allah accepts only the honestly earned money −−Allah
takes it in His right (hand) and then enlarges its reward for
that person (who has given it), as anyone of you brings up his
baby horse, so much s that it becomes as big as a mountain
2.492:
Narrated Haritha bin Wahab : I heard the Prophet saying, "O
people! Give in charity as a time will come upon you when a
person will wander about with his object of charity and will
not find anybody to accept it, and one (who will be requested
to take it) will say, "If you had brought it yesterday, would
have taken it, but today I am not in need of it."
2.493:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The Hour (Day of
Judgment) will not be established till your wealth increases
so much so that one will be worried, for no one will accept
his Zakat and the person to whom he will give it will reply,
'I am not in need of it.' "
2.494:
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: While I was sitting with Allah's
Apostle (p.b.u.h) two person came to him; one of them
complained about his poverty and the other complained about
the prevalence of robberies. Allah's Apostle said, "As regards
stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a
caravan will go to Mecca (from Medina) without any guard. And
regarding poverty, The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be
established till one of you wanders about with his object of
charity and will not find anybody to accept it And (no doubt)
each one of you will stand in front of Allah and there will be
neither a curtain nor an interpreter between him and Allah,
and Allah will ask him, 'Did not I give you wealth?' He will
reply in the affirmative. Allah will further ask, 'Didn't send
a messenger to you?' And again that person will reply in the
affirmative Then he will look to his right and he will see
nothing but Hell−fire, and then he will look to his left and
will see nothing but Hell−fire. And so, any (each one) of you
should save himself from the fire even by giving half of a
date−fruit (in charity). And if you do not find a hall
date−fruit, then (you can do it through saying) a good
pleasant word (to your brethren). (See Hadith No. 793 Vol. 4).
2.495:
Narrated Abu Musa: Thy Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "A time will
come upon the people when a person will wander about with gold
as Zakat and will not find anybody to accept it, and one man
will be seen followed by forty women to be their guardian
because of scarcity of men and great number of women. "
2.496:
Narrated Abu Mas`ud: When the verses of charity were revealed,
we used to work as porters. A man came and distributed objects
of charity in abundance. And they (the people) said, "He is
showing off." And another man came and gave a Sa (a small
measure of food grains); they said, "Allah is not in need of
this small amount of charity." And then the Divine Inspiration
came: "Those who criticize such of the believers who give in
charity voluntarily and those who could not find to give in
charity except what is available to them." (9.79).
2.497:
Narrated Abu Mas`ud Al−Ansar: Whenever Allah's Apostle
(p.b.u.h) ordered us to give in charity, we used to go to the
market and work as porters and get a Mudd (a special measure
of grain) and then give it in charity. (Those were the days of
poverty) and today some of us have one hundred thousand.
2.498:
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim heard the Prophet saying: "Save
yourself from Hell−fire even by giving half a date−fruit in
charity."
2.499:
Narrated Aisha:
A lady along with her two daughters came to me asking (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 did not eat anything herself, and then she got
up and went away. Then the Prophet came in and I informed him
about this story. He said, "Whoever is put to trial by these
daughters and he treats them generously (with benevolence)
then these daughters will act as a shield for him from
Hell−Fire." (See Hadith No. 24, Vol. 8).
2.500:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Prophet and asked, "O
Allah's Apostle! Which charity is the most superior in
reward?" He replied, "The charity which you practice while you
are healthy, niggardly and afraid of poverty and wish to
become wealthy. Do not delay it to the time of approaching
death and then say, 'Give so much to such and such, and so
much to such and such.' And it has already belonged to such
and such (as it is too late)."
2.501:
Narrated `Aisha:
Some of the wives of the Prophet asked him, "Who amongst us
will be the first to follow you (i.e. die after you)?" He
said, "Whoever has the longest hand." So they started
measuring their hands with a stick and Sauda's hand turned out
to be the longest. (When Zainab bint Jahsh died first of all
in the caliphate of `Umar), we came to know that the long hand
was a symbol of practicing charity, so she was the first to
follow the Prophet and she used to love to practice charity.
(Sauda died later in the caliphate of Muawiya).
2.502:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "A man
said that he would give something in charity. He went out with
his object of charity and unknowingly gave it to a thief. Next
morning the people said that he had given his object of
charity to a thief. (On hearing that) he said, "O Allah! All
the praises are for you. I will give alms again." And so he
again went out with his alms and (unknowingly) gave it to an
adulteress. Next morning the people said that he had given his
alms to an adulteress last night. The man said, "O Allah! All
the praises are for you. (I gave my alms) to an adulteress. I
will give alms again." So he went out with his alms again and
(unknowingly) gave it to a rich person. (The people) next
morning said that he had given his alms to a wealthy person.
He said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I had given
alms) to a thief, to an adulteress and to a wealthy man." Then
someone came and said to him, "The alms which you gave to the
thief, might make him abstain from stealing, and that given to
the adulteress might make her abstain from illegal sexual
intercourse (adultery), and that given to the wealthy man
might make him take a lesson from it and spend his wealth
which Allah has given him, in Allah's cause."
2.503:
Narrated Ma'n bin Yazid: My grandfather, my father and I gave
the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle. The Prophet got
me engaged and then got me married. One day I went to the
Prophet with a complaint. My father Yazid had taken some gold
coins for charity and kept them with a man in the mosque (to
give them to the poor) But I went and took them and brought
them to him (my father). My father said, "By Allah! I did not
intend to give them to you. " I took (the case) to Allah's
Apostle . On that Allah's Apostle said, "O Yazid! You will be
rewarded for what you intended. O Man! Whatever you have taken
is yours."
2.504:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Seven
people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the day when
there will be no shade except His. They are: (1) a just ruler;
(2) a young man who has been brought up in the worship of
Allah, (i.e. worship Allah (Alone) sincerely from his
childhood), (3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosque
(who offers the five compulsory congregational prayers in the
mosque); (4) two persons who love each other only for Allah's
sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only; (5) a man
who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for an
illegal sexual intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of
Allah; (6) a person who practices charity so secretly that his
left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e.
nobody knows how much he has given in charity). (7) a person
who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes get flooded with
tears."
2.505:
Narrated Haritha bin Wahab Al−Khuza`i: I heard the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) saying, "(O people!) Give in charity (for Allah's
cause) because a time will come when a person will carry his
object of charity from place to place (and he will not find
any person to take it) and any person whom he shall request to
take it, I will reply, 'If you had brought it yesterday I
would have taken it, but today I am not in need of it."
2.506:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "When a woman gives in charity some of
the foodstuff (which she has in her house) without spoiling
it, she will receive the reward for what she has spent, and
her husband will receive the reward because of his earning,
and the storekeeper will also have a reward similar to it. The
reward of one will not decrease the reward of the others . "
2.507:
Narrated Abu Huraira : The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "The best
charity is that which is practiced by a wealthy person. And
start giving first to your dependents."
2.508:
Narrated Hakim bin Hizam The Prophet said, "The upper hand is
better than the lower hand (i.e. he who gives in charity is
better than him who takes it). One should start giving first
to his dependents. And the best object of charity is that
which is given by a wealthy person (from the money which is
left after his expenses). And whoever abstains from asking
others for some financial help, Allah will give him and save
him from asking others, Allah will make him self−sufficient."
2.509:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: I heard Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) while he
was on the pulpit speaking about charity, to abstain from
asking others for some financial help and about begging
others, saying, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand.
The upper hand is that of the giver and the lower (hand) is
that of the beggar."
2.510:
Narrated `Uqba bin Al−Harith: Once the Prophet offered the
`Asr prayer and then hurriedly went to his house and returned
immediately. I (or somebody else) asked him (as to what was
the matter) and he said, "I left at home a piece of gold which
was from the charity and I disliked to let it remain a night
in my house, so I got it distributed . "
2.511:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet went out for the `Id prayer
on the `Id day and offered a two rak`at prayer; and he neither
offered a prayer before it or after it. Then he went towards
the women along with Bilal. He preached them and ordered them
to give in charity. And some (amongst the women) started
giving their forearm bangles and earrings.
2.512:
Narrated Abu Burda bin Abu Musa: that his father said,
"Whenever a beggar came to Allah's Apostle or he was asked for
something, he used to say (to his companions), "Help and
recommend him and you will receive the reward for it; and
Allah will bring about what He will through His Prophet's
tongue."
2.513:

(i.e. hoarding it), (for if you did so), Allah would also
withhold His blessings from you."
2.515:
Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr: that she had gone to the Prophet
and he said, "Do not shut your money bag; otherwise Allah too
will withhold His blessings from you. Spend (in Allah's Cause)
as much as you can afford. "
2.516:
Narrated Abu Wail: Hudhaifa said, "`Umar said, 'Who amongst
you remembers the statement of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) about
afflictions'?' I said, 'I know it as the Prophet had said it.'
`Umar said, 'No doubt, you are bold. How did he say it?' I
said, 'A man's afflictions (wrong deeds) concerning his wife,
children and neighbors are expiated by (his) prayers, charity,
and enjoining good.' (The sub−narrator Sulaiman added that he
said, 'The prayer, charity, enjoining good and forbidding
evil.') `Umar said, 'I did not mean that, but I ask about that
affliction which will spread like the waves of the sea.' I
said, 'O chief of the believers! You need not be afraid of it
as there is a closed door between you and it.' He asked, 'Will
the door be broken or opened?' I replied, 'No, it will be
broken.' He said, 'Then, if it is broken, it will never be
closed again?' I replied, 'Yes.' " Then we were afraid to ask
what that door was, so we asked Masruq to inquire, and he
asked Hudhaifa regarding it. Hudhaifa said, "The door was
`Umar. "We further asked Hudhaifa whether `Umar knew what that
door meant. Hudhaifa replied in the affirmative and added, "He
knew it as one knows that there will be a night before the
tomorrow morning."
2.517:
Narrated Hakim bin Hizam: I said to Allah's Apostle, "Before
embracing Islam I used to do good deeds like giving in
charity, slave−manumitting, and the keeping of good relations
with Kith and kin. Shall I be rewarded for those deeds?" The
Prophet replied, "You became Muslim with all those good deeds
(Without losing their reward)."
2.518:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "When a woman gives in charity from her
husband's meals without wasting the property of her husband,
she will get a reward for it, and her husband too will get a
reward for what he earned and the storekeeper will have the
reward likewise."
2.519:
Narrated Abu Musa : The Prophet said, "An honest Muslim
storekeeper who carries out the orders of his master and pays
fully what he has been ordered to give with a good heart and
pays to that person to whom he was ordered to pay, is regarded
as one of the two charitable persons."
2.520:
Narrate Aisha :
The Prophet said, "If a woman gives in charity from her
husband's house .." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) also said, "If a
lady gives meals (in charity) from her husband's house without
spoiling her husband's property, she will get a reward and her
husband will also get a reward likewise. The husband will get
a reward because of his earnings and the woman because of her
spending."
2.521:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet said, "When a woman gives in charity from her
house meals in Allah's Cause without spoiling her husband's
property, she will get a reward for it, and her husband will
also get the reward for his earnings and the storekeeper will
get a reward likewise."
2.522:
Narrated Abu Huraira : The Prophet said, "Every day two angels
come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah!
Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the
other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.' "
2.523:
Narrated Abu Huraira : The Prophet said, "The example of a
miser and an almsgiver is like the example of two persons
wearing iron cloaks." Allah's Apostle also said, "The example
of an almsgiver and a miser is like the example of two persons
who have two iron cloaks on them from their breasts to their
collar bones, and when the almsgiver wants to give in charity,
the cloak becomes capacious till it covers his whole body to
such an extent that it hides his fingertips and covers his
footprints (obliterates his tracks). (1) And when the miser
wants to spend, it (the iron cloak) sticks and every ring gets
stuck to its place and he tries to widen it, but it did not
become wide.
2.524:
Narrated Abu Burda: from his father from his grandfather that
the Prophet said, "Every Muslim has to give in charity." The
people asked, "O Allah's Prophet! If someone has nothing to
give, what will he do?" He said, "He should work with his
hands and benefit himself and also give in charity (from what
he earns)." The people further asked, "If he cannot find even
that?" He replied, "He should help the needy who appeal for
help." Then the people asked, "If he cannot do that?" He
replied, "Then he should perform good deeds and keep away from
evil deeds and this will be regarded as charitable deeds."
2.525:
Narrated Um 'Atiyya: A sheep was sent to me (Nusaiba
Al−Ansariya) (in charity) and I sent some of it to `Aisha. The
Prophet asked `Aisha for something to eat. `Aisha replied that
there was nothing except what Nusaiba Al−Ansariya had sent of
that sheep. The Prophet said to her, "Bring it as it has
reached its place."
2.526:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri : Allah's Apostle said, "There is
no Zakat on less than five camels and also there is no Zakat
on less than five Awaq (of silver). (5 Awaq = 22 Fransa Riyals
of Yemen or 200 Dirhams.) And there is no Zakat on less than
five Awsuq. (A special measure of food−grains, and one Wasq
equals 60 Sa's.) (For gold 20, Dinars i.e. equal to 12 Guinea
English. No Zakat for less than 12 Guinea (English) of gold or
for silver less than 22 Fransa Riyals of Yemen.)
2.527:
Narrated Abi Sa`id Al−Khudri : I heard the Prophet saying (as
above−−No. 526)
2.528:
Narrated Anas:
Abu Bakr wrote to me what Allah had instructed His Apostle
(p.b.u.h) to do regarding the one who had to pay one Bint
Makhad (i.e. one year−old she−camel) as Zakat, and he did not
have it but had got Bint Labun (two year old she−camel). (He
wrote that) it could be accepted from him as Zakat, and the
collector of Zakat would return him 20 Dirhams or two sheep;
and if the Zakat payer had not a Bint Makhad, but he had Ibn
Labun (a two year old he−camel) then it could be accepted as
his Zakat, but he would not be paid anything .
2.529:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas : I am a witness that Allah's Apostle
offered the Id prayer before delivering the sermon and then he
thought that the women would not be able to hear him (because
of the distance), so he went to them along with Bilal who was
spreading his garment. The Prophet advised and ordered them to
give in charity. So the women started giving their ornaments
(in charity). (The sub−narrator Aiyub pointed towards his ears
and neck meaning that they gave ornaments from those places
such as earrings and necklaces.)
2.530:
Narrated Anas:
Abu Bakr wrote to me what was made compulsory by Allah's
Apostle and that was (regarding the payments of Zakat):
Neither the property of different people may be taken together
nor the joint property may be split for fear of (paying more,
or receiving less) Zakat.
2.531:
Narrated Anas:
Abu Bakr wrote to me what Allah's Apostle has made compulsory
(regarding Zakat) and this was mentioned in it: If a property
is equally owned by two partners, they should pay the combined
Zakat and it will be considered that both of them have paid
their Zakat equally.
2.532:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: A Bedouin asked Allah's Apostle
about the emigration. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "May Allah
have mercy on you! The matter of emigration is very hard. Have
you got camels? Do you pay their Zakat?" The Bedouin said,
"Yes, I have camels and I pay their Zakat." The Prophet said,
Work beyond the seas and Allah will not decrease (waste) any
of your good deeds." (See Hadith No. 260 Vol. 5).
2.533:
Narrated Anas:
Abu Bakr , wrote to me about the Zakat which Allah had ordered
His Apostle to observe: Whoever had to pay Jahda (Jahda means
a four−year−old she−camel) as Zakat from his herd of camels
and he had not got one, and he had Hiqqa (three−year−old
she−camel), that Hiqqa should be accepted from him along with
two sheep if they were available or twenty Dirhams (one Durham
equals about 1/4 Saudi Riyal) and whoever had to pay Hiqqa as
Zakat and he had no Hiqqa but had a Jadha, the Jadha should be
accepted from him, and the Zakat collector should repay him
twenty Dirhams or two sheep; and whoever had to pay Hiqqa as
Zakat and he had not got one, but had a Bint Labun
(two−year−old she−camel), it should be accepted from him along
with two sheep or twenty Dirhams; and whoever had to pay Bint
Labun and had a Hiqqa, that Hiqqa should be accepted from him
and the Zakat collector should repay him twenty Dirhams or two
sheep; and whoever had to pay Bint Labun and he had not got
one but had a Bint Makhad (one−year−old she camel), that Bint
Makhad should be accepted from him along with twenty Dirhams
or two sheep.
2.534:
Narrated Anas:
When Abu Bakr; sent me to (collect the Zakat from) Bahrain, he
wrote to me the following:−− (In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful). These are the orders for compulsory
charity (Zakat) which Allah's Apostle had made obligatory for
every Muslim, and which Allah had ordered His Apostle to
observe: Whoever amongst the Muslims is asked to pay Zakat
accordingly, he should pay it (to the Zakat collector) and
whoever is asked more than that (what is specified in this
script) he should not pay it; for twenty−four camels or less,
sheep are to be paid as Zakat; for every five camels one sheep
is to be paid, and if there are between twenty−five to
thirty−five camels, one Bint Makhad is to be paid; and if they
are between thirty−six to forty−five (camels), one Bint Labun
is to be paid; and if they are between forty−six to sixty
(camels), one Hiqqa is to be paid; and if the number is
between sixty−one to seventy−five (camels), one Jadha is to be
paid; and if the number is between seventy−six to ninety
(camels), two Bint Labuns are to be paid; and if they are from
ninety−one to one−hundred−and twenty (camels), two Hiqqas are
to be paid; and if they are over one−hundred and−twenty
(camels), for every forty (over one−hundred−and−twenty) one
Bint Labun is to be paid, and for every fifty camels (over
one−hundred−and−twenty) one Hiqqa is to be paid; and who ever
has got only four camels, has to pay nothing as Zakat, but if
the owner of these four camels wants to give something, he
can. If the number of camels increases to five, the owner has
to pay one sheep as Zakat. As regards the Zakat for the
(flock) of sheep; if they are between forty and
one−hundred−and−twenty sheep, one sheep is to be paid; and if
they are between one−hundred−and−twenty to two hundred
(sheep), two sheep are to be paid; and if they are between
two−hundred to three−hundred (sheep), three sheep are to be
paid; and for over three−hundred sheep, for every extra
hundred sheep, one sheep is to be paid as Zakat. And if
somebody has got less than forty sheep, no Zakat is required,
but if he wants to give, he can. For silver the Zakat is
one−fortieth of the lot (i.e.
2.5%), and if its value is less than two−hundred Dirhams,
Zakat is not required, but if the owner wants to pay he can.'
2.535:
Narrated Anas:
Abu Bakr wrote to me what Allah had ordered His Apostle (about
Zakat) which goes: Neither an old nor a defected animal, nor a
male−goat may be taken as Zakat except if the Zakat collector
wishes (to take it).
2.536:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Abu Bakr said, "By Allah! If they (pay
me the Zakat and) withhold even a she−kid which they used to
pay during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, I will fight with
them for it." `Umar said, "It was nothing but Allah Who opened
Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision to fight, and I came to
know that his decision was right."
2.537:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) sent
Mu`adh to Yemen, he said (to him), "YOU are going to people of
a (Divine) Book. First of all invite them to worship Allah
(alone) and when they come to know Allah, inform them that
Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers in every day and
night; and if they start offering these prayers, inform them
that Allah has enjoined on them, the Zakat. And it is to be
taken from the rich amongst them and given to the poor amongst
them; and if they obey you in that, take Zakat from them and
avoid (don't take) the best property of the people as Zakat."
2.538:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri : Allah's Apostle said, "No Zakat
is imposed on less than five Awsuq of dates; no Zakat is
imposed on less than five Awaq of silver, and no Zakat is
imposed on less than five camels."
2.539:
Narrated Abu Dhar: Once I went to him (the Prophet ) and he
said, "By Allah in Whose Hands my life is (or probably said,
'By Allah, except Whom none has the right to be worshipped)
whoever had camels or cows or sheep and did not pay their
Zakat, those animals will be brought on the Day of
Resurrection far bigger and fatter than before and they will
tread him under their hooves, and will butt him with their
horns, and (those animals will come in circle): When the last
does its turn, the first will start again, and this punishment
will go on till Allah has finished the judgments amongst the
people."
2.540:
Narrated 'Is−haq bin `Abdullah bin Al Talha: I heard Anas bin
Malik saying, "Abu Talha had more property of date−palm trees
gardens than any other amongst the Ansar in Medina and the
most beloved of them to him was Bairuha garden, and it was in
front of the Mosque of the Prophet . Allah's Apostle used to
go there and used to drink its nice water." Anas added, "When
these verses were revealed:−−'By no means shall you Attain
righteousness unless You spend (in charity) of that Which you
love. ' (3.92) Abu Talha said to Allah's Apostle 'O Allah's
Apostle! Allah, the Blessed, the Superior says: By no means
shall you attain righteousness, unless you spend (in charity)
of that which you love. And no doubt, Bairuha' garden is the
most beloved of all my property to me. So I want to give it in
charity in Allah's Cause. I expect its reward from Allah. O
Allah's Apostle! Spend it where Allah makes you think it
feasible.' On that Allah's Apostle said, 'Bravo! It is useful
property. I have heard what you have said (O Abu Talha), and I
think it would be proper if you gave it to your Kith and kin.'
Abu Talha said, I will do so, O Allah's Apostle.' Then Abu
Talha distributed that garden amongst his relatives and his
cousins."
2.541:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri On `Id ul Fitr or `Id ul Adha
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) went out to the Musalla. After
finishing the prayer, he delivered the sermon and ordered the
people to give alms. He said, "O people! Give alms." Then he
went towards the women and said. "O women! Give alms, for I
have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell−Fire were
you (women)." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the
reason for it?" He replied, "O women! You curse frequently,
and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone
more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. O women,
some of you can lead a cautious wise man astray." Then he
left. And when he reached his house, Zainab, the wife of Ibn
Mas`ud, came and asked permission to enter It was said, "O
Allah's Apostle! It is Zainab." He asked, 'Which Zainab?" The
reply was that she was the wife of Ibn Mas'ub. He said, "Yes,
allow her to enter." And she was admitted. Then she said, "O
Prophet of Allah! Today you ordered people to give alms and I
had an ornament and intended to give it as alms, but Ibn
Mas`ud said that he and his children deserved it more than
anybody else." The Prophet replied, "Ibn Mas`ud had spoken the
truth. Your husband and your children had more right to it
than anybody else."
2.542:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "There is no Zakat
either on a horse or a slave belonging to a Muslim."
2.543:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "There is no Zakat
either on a slave or on a horse belonging to a Muslim."
2.544:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri : Once the Prophet sat on a
pulpit and we sat around him. Then he said, "The things I am
afraid of most for your sake (concerning what will befall you
after me) is the pleasures and splendors of the world and its
beauties which will be disclosed to you." Somebody said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet
remained silent for a while. It was said to that person, "What
is wrong with you? You are talking to the Prophet (p.b.u.h)
while he is not talking to you." Then we noticed that he was
being inspired divinely. Then the Prophet wiped off his sweat
and said, "Where is the questioner?" It seemed as if the
Prophet liked his question. Then he said, "Good never brings
forth evil. Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a
water−stream which either kill or make the animals sick,
except if an animal eats its fill the Khadira (a kind of
vegetable) and then faces the sun, and then defecates and
urinates and grazes again. No doubt this wealth is sweet and
green. Blessed is the wealth of a Muslim from which he gives
to the poor, the orphans and to needy travelers. (Or the
Prophet said something similar to it) No doubt, whoever takes
it illegally will be like the one who eats but is never
satisfied, and his wealth will be a witness against him on the
Day of Resurrection."
2.545:
Narrated `Amr bin Al−Harith: Zainab, the wife of `Abdullah
said, "I was in the Mosque and saw the Prophet (p.b.u.h)
saying, 'O women ! Give alms even from your ornaments.' "
Zainab used to provide for `Abdullah and those orphans who
were under her protection. So she said to `Abdullah, "Will you
ask Allah's Apostle whether it will be sufficient for me to
spend part of the Zakat on you and the orphans who are under
my protection?" He replied "Will you yourself ask Allah's
Apostle ?" (Zainab added): So I went to the Prophet and I saw
there an Ansari woman who was standing at the door (of the
Prophet ) with a similar problem as mine. Bilal passed by us
and we asked him, 'Ask the Prophet whether it is permissible
for me to spend (the Zakat) on my husband and the orphans
under my protection.' And we requested Bilal not to inform the
Prophet about us. So Bilal went inside and asked the Prophet
regarding our problem. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked, "Who are
those two?" Bilal replied that she was Zainab. The Prophet
said, "Which Zainab?" Bilal said, "The wife of `Abdullah (bin
Mas`ud)." The Prophet said, "Yes, (it is sufficient for her)
and she will receive a double rewards (for that): One for
helping relatives, and the other for giving Zakat."
2.546:
Narrated Zainab,:
(the daughter of Um Salama) My mother said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Shall I receive a reward if I spend for the
sustenance of Abu Salama's offspring, and in fact they are
also my sons?" The Prophet replied, "Spend on them and you
will get a reward for what you spend on them."
2.547:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) ordered (a
person) to collect Zakat, and that person returned and told
him that Ibn Jamil, Khalid bin Al−Walid, and `Abbas bin `Abdul
Muttalib had refused to give Zakat." The Prophet said, "What
made Ibn Jamil refuse to give Zakat though he was a poor man,
and was made wealthy by Allah and His Apostle ? But you are
unfair in asking Zakat from Khalid as he is keeping his armor
for Allah's Cause (for Jihad). As for `Abbas bin `Abdul
Muttalib, he is the uncle of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) and
Zakat is compulsory on him and he should pay it double."
2.548:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: Some Ansari persons asked for
(something) from Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) and he gave them.
They again asked him for (something) and he again gave them.
And then they asked him and he gave them again till all that
was with him finished. And then he said "If I had anything. I
would not keep it away from you. (Remember) Whoever abstains
from asking others, Allah will make him contented, and whoever
tries to make himself self−sufficient, Allah will make him
self−sufficient. And whoever remains patient, Allah will make
him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater
than patience."
2.549:
Narrated Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose
Hand my life is, it is better for anyone of you to take a rope
and cut the wood (from the forest) and carry it over his back
and sell it (as a means of earning his living) rather than to
ask a person for something and that person may give him or
not."
2.550:
Narrated Az−Zubair bin Al−`Awwam: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said,
"It is better for anyone of you to take a rope (and cut) and
bring a bundle of wood (from the forest) over his back and
sell it and Allah will save his face (from the Hell−Fire)
because of that, rather than to ask the people who may give
him or not."
2.551:
Narrated `Urwa bin Az−Zubair and Sa`id bin Al−Musaiyab: Hakim
bin Hizam said, "(Once) I asked Allah's Apostle (for
something) and he gave it to me. Again I asked and he gave (it
to me). Again I asked and he gave (it to me). And then he
said, "O Hakim! This property is like a sweet fresh fruit;
whoever takes it without greediness, he is blessed in it, and
whoever takes it with greediness, he is not blessed in it, and
he is like a person who eats but is never satisfied; and the
upper (giving) hand is better than the lower (receiving)
hand." Hakim added, "I said to Allah's Apostle , 'By Him
(Allah) Who sent you with the Truth, I shall never accept
anything from anybody after you, till I leave this world.' "
Then Abu Bakr (during his caliphate) called Hakim to give him
his share from the war booty (like the other companions of the
Prophet ), he refused to accept anything. Then `Umar (during
his caliphate) called him to give him his share but he
refused. On that `Umar said, "O Muslims! I would like you to
witness that I offered Hakim his share from this booty and he
refused to take it." So Hakim never took anything from anybody
after the Prophet till he died.
2.552:
Narrated `Umar:
Allah's Apostle used to give me something but I would say to
him, "would you give it to a poorer and more needy one than
l?" The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said to me, "Take it. If you are
given something from this property, without asking for it or
having greed for it take it; and if not given, do not run for
it."
2.553:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: The Prophet said, "A man keeps
on asking others for something till he comes on the Day of
Resurrection without any piece of flesh on his face." The
Prophet added, "On the Day of Resurrection, the Sun will come
near (to, the people) to such an extent that the sweat will
reach up to the middle of the ears, so, when all the people
are in that state, they will ask Adam for help, and then
Moses, and then Muhammad (p.b.u.h) ." The sub−narrator added
"Muhammad will intercede with Allah to judge amongst the
people. He will proceed on till he will hold the ring of the
door (of Paradise) and then Allah will exalt him to Maqam
Mahmud (the privilege of intercession, etc.). And all the
people of the gathering will send their praises to Allah.
2.554:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The poor person is
not the one who asks a morsel or two (of meals) from the
others, but the poor is the one who has nothing and is ashamed
to beg from others."
2.555:
Narrated Ash−Shu`bi: The clerk of Al−Mughira bin Shu`ba
narrated, "Muawiya wrote to Al−Mughira bin Shu`ba: Write to me
something which you have heard from the Prophet (p.b.u.h) ."
So Al−Mughira wrote: I heard the Prophet saying, "Allah has
hated for you three things: −1. Vain talks, (useless talk)
that you talk too much or about others. −2. Wasting of wealth
(by extravagance) −3. And asking too many questions (in
disputed religious matters) or asking others for something
(except in great need). (See Hadith No. 591, Vol. Ill)
2.556:
Narrated Sa`d (bin Abi Waqqas) : Allah's Apostle distributed
something (from the resources of Zakat) amongst a group of
people while I was sitting amongst them, but he left a man
whom I considered the best of the lot. So, I went up to
Allah's Apostle and asked him secretly, "Why have you left
that person? By Allah! I consider him a believer." The Prophet
said, "Or merely a Muslim (Who surrender to Allah)." I
remained quiet for a while but could not help repeating my
question because of what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider
him a believer. " The Prophet said, "Or merely a Muslim." I
remained quiet for a while but could not help repeating my
question because of what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider
him a believer." The Prophet said, "Or merely a Muslim." Then
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "I give to a person while
another is dearer to me, for fear that he may be thrown in the
Hell−fire on his face (by reneging from Islam)."
2.557:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The poor person
is not the one who goes round the people and ask them for a
mouthful or two (of meals) or a date or two but the poor is
that who has not enough (money) to satisfy his needs and whose
condition is not known to others, that others may give him
something in charity, and who does not beg of people."
2.558:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "No doubt, it is
better for a person to take a rope and proceed in the morning
to the mountains and cut the wood and then sell it, and eat
from this income and give alms from it than to ask others for
something."
2.559:
Narrated Abu Humaid As−Sa`idi: We took part in the holy battle
of Tabuk in the company of the Prophet and when we arrived at
the Wadi−al−Qura, there was a woman in her garden. The Prophet
asked his companions to estimate the amount of the fruits in
the garden, and Allah's Apostle estimated it at ten Awsuq (One
Wasaq = 60 Sa's) and 1 Sa'= 3 kg. approximately). The Prophet
said to that lady, "Check what your garden will yield." When
we reached Tabuk, the Prophet said, "There will be a strong
wind tonight and so no one should stand and whoever has a
camel, should fasten it." So we fastened our camels. A strong
wind blew at night and a man stood up and he was blown away to
a mountain called Taiy, The King of Aila sent a white mule and
a sheet for wearing to the Prophet as a present, and wrote to
the Prophet that his people would stay in their place (and
will pay Jizya taxation.) (1) When the Prophet reached
Wadi−al−Qura he asked that woman how much her garden had
yielded. She said, "Ten Awsuq," and that was what Allah's
Apostle had estimated. Then the Prophet said, "I want to reach
Medina quickly, and whoever among you wants to accompany me,
should hurry up." The sub−narrator Ibn Bakkar said something
which meant: When the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saw Medina he said,
"This is Taba." And when he saw the mountain of Uhud, he said,
"This mountain loves us and we love it. Shall I tell you of
the best amongst the Ansar?" They replied in the affirmative.
He said, "The family of Bani−n−Najjar, and then the family of
Bani Sa`ida or Bani Al−Harith bin Al−Khazraj. (The
above−mentioned are the best) but there is goodness in all the
families of Ansar."
2.560:
Narrated Salim bin `Abdullah from his father: The Prophet
said, "On a land irrigated by rain water or by natural water
channels or if the land is wet due to a near by water channel
Ushr (i.e. one−tenth) is compulsory (as Zakat); and on the
land irrigated by the well, half of an Ushr (i.e.
one−twentieth) is compulsory (as Zakat on the yield of the
land)."
2.561:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri : The Prophet said, "There is no
Zakat on less than five Awsuq (of dates), or on less than five
camels, or on less than five Awaq of silver." (22 Yemeni
Riyals Faransa).
2.562:
Narrated Abu Huraira : Dates used to be brought to Allah's
Apostle immediately after being plucked. Different persons
would bring their dates till a big heap collected (in front of
the Prophet). Once Al−Hasan and Al−Husain were playing with
these dates. One of them took a date and put it in his mouth.
Allah's Apostle looked at him and took it out from his mouth
and said, "Don't you know that Muhammad's offspring do not eat
what is given in charity?"
2.563:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet had forbidden the sale of
dates till they were good (ripe), and when it was asked what
it meant, the Prophet said, "Till there is no danger of
blight."

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah : The Prophet had forbidden the
sale of fruits till they were ripe (free from blight).
2.565:

of fruits until they were ripe. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) added,
"It means that they become red ."
2.566:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: `Umar bin Al−Khattab gave a
horse in charity in Allah's Cause and later he saw it being
sold in the market and intended to purchase it. Then he went
to the Prophet and asked his permission. The Prophet said, "Do
not take back what you have given in charity." For this
reason, Ibn `Umar never purchased the things which he had
given in charity, and in case he had purchased something
(unknowingly) he would give it in charity again.
2.567:
Narrated `Umar:
Once I gave a horse in Allah's Cause (in charity) but that
person did not take care of it. I intended to buy it, as I
thought he would sell it at a low price. So, I asked the
Prophet (p.b.u.h) about it. He said, "Neither buy, nor take
back your alms which you have given, even if the seller were
willing to sell it for one Dirham, for he who takes back his
alms is like the one who swallows his own vomit."
2.568:
Narrated Abu Huraira : Al−Hasan bin `Ali took a date from the
dates given in charity and put it in his mouth. The Prophet
said, "Expel it from your mouth. Don't you know that we do not
eat a thing which is given in charity?"
2.569:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas : The Prophet saw a dead sheep which had
been given in charity to a freed slave−girl of Maimuna, the
wife of the Prophet . The Prophet said, "Why don't you get the
benefit of its hide?" They said, "It is dead." He replied,
"Only to eat (its meat) is illegal."
2.570:
Narrated Al−Aswad: `Aisha intended to buy Barira (a
slave−girl) in order to manumit her and her masters intended
to put the condition that her Al−wala would be for them.
`Aisha mentioned that to the Prophet who said to her, "Buy
her, as the "Wala" is for the manumitted." Once some meat was
presented to the Prophet and `Aisha said to him, "This (meat)
was given in charity to Barira." He said, "It is an object of
charity for Barira but a gift for us."
2.571:
Narrated Um 'Atiyya Al−Ansariya : The Prophet went to `Aisha
and asked her whether she had something (to eat). She replied
that she had nothing except the mutton (piece) which Nusaiba
(Um 'Atiyya) had sent to us (Buraira) in charity." The Prophet
said, "It has reached its place and now it is not a thing of
charity but a gift for us."
2.572:
Narrated Anas:
Some meat was presented to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and it had
been given to Barira (the freed slave−girl of Aisha) in
charity. He said, "This meat is a thing of charity for Barira
but it is a gift for us."
2.573:
Narrated Abu Ma`bad,: (the slave of Ibn `Abbas) Allah's
Apostle said to Mu`adh when he sent him to Yemen, "You will go
to the people of the Scripture. So, when you reach there,
invite them to testify that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle. And if
they obey you in that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on
them five prayers in each day and night. And if they obey you
in that tell them that Allah has made it obligatory on them to
pay the Zakat which will be taken from the rich among them and
given to the poor among them. If they obey you in that, then
avoid taking the best of their possessions, and be afraid of
the curse of an oppressed person because there is no screen
between his invocation and Allah."
2.574.1:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abu `Aufa : Whenever a person came to
the Prophet with his alms, the Prophet would say, "O Allah!
Send your Blessings upon so and so." My father went to the
Prophet with his alms and the Prophet said, "O Allah! Send
your blessings upon the offspring of Abu `Aufa."
2.574.2:
Narrated Abu Huraira The Prophet said, "A man from Bani Israel
asked someone from Bani Israel to give him a loan of one
thousand Dinars and the later gave it to him. The debtor went
on a voyage (when the time for the payment of the debt became
due) but he did not find a boat, so he took a piece of wood
and bored it and put 1000 diners in it and threw it into the
sea. The creditor went out and took the piece of wood to his
family to be used as fire−wood." (See Hadith No. 488 B, Vol.
3). And the Prophet narrated the narration (and said), "When
he sawed the wood, he found his money."
2.575:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "There is no
compensation for one killed or wounded by an animal or by
falling in a well, or because of working in mines; but Khumus
is compulsory on Rikaz."

Narrated Abu Humaid Al−Sa`idi: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h)
appointed a man called Ibn Al−Lutbiya, from the tribe of
Al−Asd to collect Zakat from Bani Sulaim. When he returned,
(after collecting the Zakat) the Prophet checked the account
with him.
2.577:
Narrated Anas:
Some people from `Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate
did not suit them, so Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) allowed them
to go to the herd of camels (given as Zakat) and they drank
their milk and urine (as medicine) but they killed the
shepherd and drove away all the camels. So Allah's Apostle
sent (men) in their pursuit to catch them, and they were
brought, and he had their hands and feet cut, and their eyes
were branded with heated pieces of iron and they were left in
the Harra (a stony place at Medina) biting the stones. (See
Hadith No. 234, Vol. 1)
2.578:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: I took `Abdullah bin Abu Talha to
Allah's Apostle to perform Tahnik for him. (Tahnik was a
custom among the Muslims that whenever a child was born they
used to take it to the Prophet who would chew a piece of date
and put a part of its juice in the child's mouth). I saw the
Prophet and he had an instrument for branding in his hands and
was branding the camels of Zakat.

riding behind Allah's Apostle and a woman from the tribe of
Khath'am came and Al−Fadl started looking at her and she

the other side. The woman said, "O Allah's Apostle! The
obligation of Hajj enjoined by Allah on His devotees has
become due on my father and he is old and weak, and he cannot
sit firm on the Mount; may I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The
Prophet replied, "Yes, you may." That happened during the

2.597:
Narrated Zaid bin Jubair: I went to visit `Abdullah bin `Umar
at his house which contained many tents made of cotton cloth
and these were encircled with Suradik (part of the tent). I

said, "Allah's Apostle had fixed as Miqat (singular of
Mawaqit) Qarn for the people of Najd, Dhul−Hulaifa for the
people of Medina, and Al−Juhfa for the people of Sham."
2.598:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The people of Yemen used to come for Hajj
and used not to bring enough provisions with them and used to
say that they depend on Allah. On their arrival in Medina they

provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision
is the fear of Allah." (2.197).
2.599:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) made
Dhul−Huiaifa as the Miqat for the people of Medina; Al−Juhfa
for the people of Sham; Qarn−al−Manazil for the people of
Najd; and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen; and these Mawaqit
are for the people at those very places, and besides them for
those who come thorough those places with the intention of

boundaries can assume lhram from the place he starts, and the
people of Mecca can assume Ihram from Mecca.

within these places should assume Ihram from his dwelling
place, and similarly the people of Mecca can assume lhram from

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet fixed Dhul−Hulaifa as the
Miqat for the people of Medina, Al−Juhfa, for the people of
Sham, Yalamlam for the people of Yemen, and Qarn for the
people of Najd. And these Mawaqit are for those living at

from his own dwelling place, and the people of Mecca can

as the Miqat for the people of Medina, Al−Juhfa for the people
of Sham, Qarn−al−Manazil for the people of Najd, and Yalamlam
for the people of Yemen; and these Mawaqit are for those
living at those very places, and besides them for those whom
come through them with the intention of performing Hajj and
Umra; and whoever is living within these Mawaqit should assume
lhram from where he starts, and the people of Mecca can assume
Ihram from Mecca.
2.606:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: When these two towns (Basra and Kufa) were
captured, the people went to `Umar and said, "O the Chief of
the faithful believers! The Prophet fixed Qarn as the Miqat
for the people of Najd, it is beyond our way and it is
difficult for us to pass through it." He said, "Take as your
Miqat a place situated opposite to Qarn on your usual way. So,
he fixed Dhatu−Irq (as their Miqat)."
2.607:
Narrated Nafi` :
`Abdullah bin `Umar' said, "Allah's Apostle made his camel sit
(i.e. he dismounted) at Al−Batha' in Dhul−Hulaifa and offered
the prayer." `Abdullah bin `Umar used to do the same.
2.608:
Narrated Ibn `Umar : Allah's Apostle used to go (for Hajj) via
Ash−Shajara way and return via Muarras way; and no doubt,
whenever Allah's Apostle went to Mecca, he used to offer the
prayer in the Mosque of Ash−Shajara; and on his return, he
used to offer the prayer at Dhul−Hulaifa in the middle of the
valley, and pass the night there till morning.
2.609:
Narrated `Umar:
In the valley of Al−`Aqiq I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "To

"The Prophet said that while resting in the bottom of the
valley at Muarras in Dhul−Hulaifa, he had been addressed in a

to dismount from our camels at the place where `Abdullah used
to dismount, aiming at the place where Allah's Apostle had
rested and it was below the Mosque situated in the middle of
the valley in between them (the residence) and the road.

of the Prophet while he was Muhrim?"
2.612:

What kind of clothes should a Muhrim wear?" Allah's Apostle
replied, "He should not wear a shirt, a turban, trousers, a
headcloak or leather socks except if he can find no slippers,
he then may wear leather socks after cutting off what might
cover the ankles. And he should not wear clothes which are
scented with saffron or Wars (kinds of Perfumes) . "
2.616:
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah: Ibn `Abbas' said, "Usama
rode behind Allah's Apostle from `Arafat to Al−Muzdalifa; and
then Al−Fadl rode behind Allah's Apostle from Al−Muzdalifa to
Mina." Ibn `Abbas added, "Both of them said, 'The Prophet kept
on reciting Talbiya till he did the Rami of Jamrat−Al−`Aqaba.'
"
2.617:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: The Prophet with his companions
started from Medina after combing and oiling his hair and
putting on two sheets of lhram (upper body cover and waist
cover). He did not forbid anyone to wear any kind of sheets
except the ones colored with saffron because they may leave
the scent on the skin. And so in the early morning, the
Prophet mounted his Mount while in Dhul−Hulaifa and set out
till they reached Baida', where he and his companions recited
Talbiya, and then they did the ceremony of Taqlid (which means
to put the colored garlands around the necks of the Budn
(camels for sacrifice). And all that happened on the 25th of
Dhul−Qa'da. And when he reached Mecca on the 4th of Dhul−Hijja
he performed the Tawaf round the Ka`ba and performed the Tawaf
between Safa and Marwa. And as he had a Badana and had
garlanded it, he did not finish his Ihram. He proceeded
towards the highest places of Mecca near Al−Hujun and he was
assuming the Ihram for Hajj and did not go near the Ka`ba
after he performed Tawaf (round it) till he returned from
`Arafat. Then he ordered his companions to perform the Tawaf
round the Ka`ba and then the Tawaf of Safa and Marwa, and to
cut short the hair of their heads and to finish their Ihram.
And that was only for those people who had not garlanded Budn.
Those who had their wives with them were permitted to contact
them (have sexual intercourse), and similarly perfume and
(ordinary) clothes were permissible for them.
2.618:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet offered four rak`at in
Medina and then two rak`at at Dhul Hulaifa and then passed the

the night there till morning.
2.620:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet offered four rak`at of the Zuhr prayer in Medina
and two rak`at of the `Asr prayer in Dhul−Hulaifa and I heard
them (the companions of the Prophet) reciting Talbiya together

2.621:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar : The Talbiya of Allah's Apostle
was : 'Labbaika Allahumma labbaik, Labbaika la sharika Laka
labbaik, Inna−l−hamda wan−ni'mata Laka walmulk, La sharika
Laka' (I respond to Your call O Allah, I respond to Your call,
and I am obedient to Your orders, You have no partner, I
respond to Your call All the praises and blessings are for
You, All the sovereignty is for You, And You have no partners
with you.
2.622:
Narrated `Aisha:
I know how the Prophet used to say (Talbiya) and it was:
'Labbaika Allahumma Labbaik, Labbaika la sharika Laka labbaik,
Inna−l−hamda wan−ni'mata Laka walmu Lk, La sharika Laka'.
2.623:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle offered four rak`at
of Zuhr prayer at Medina and we were in his company, and two
rak`at of the `Asr prayer at Dhul−Hulaifa and then passed the
night there till it was dawn; then he rode, and when he
reached Al−Baida', he praised and glorified Allah and said
Takbir (i.e. Al hamdu−li l−lah and Subhanallah(1) and
Allahu−Akbar). Then he and the people along with him recited
Talbiya with the intention of performing Hajj and Umra. When
we reached (Mecca) he ordered us to finish the lhram (after
performing the Umra) (only those who had no Hadi (animal for
sacrifice) with them were asked to do so) till the day of
Tarwiya that is 8th Dhul−Hijja when they assumed Ihram for
Hajj. The Prophet sacrificed many camels (slaughtering them)
with his own hands while standing. While Allah's Apostle was
in Medina he sacrificed two horned rams black and white in
color in the Name of Allah."
2.624:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) recited Talbiya when
he had mounted his Mount and was ready to set out.
2.625:
Narrated Nafi`:
Whenever Ibn `Umar intended to go to Mecca he used to oil
himself with a sort of oil that had no pleasant smell, then he
would go to the Mosque of Al−Hulaita and offer the prayer, and
then ride. When he mounted well on his Mount and the Mount
stood up straight, he would proclaim the intention of assuming
Ihram, and he used to say that he had seen the Prophet doing
the same.
2.626:
Narrated Mujahid:
I was in the company of Ibn `Abbas and the people talked about
Ad−Dajjal and said, "Ad−Dajjal will come with the word Kafir
(non−believer) written in between his eyes." On that Ibn
`Abbas said, "I have not heard this from the Prophet but I
heard him saying, 'As if I saw Moses just now entering the
valley reciting Talbyia. ' "
2.627:
Narrated Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) We set out with the Prophet
in his last Hajj and we assumed Ihram for Umra. The Prophet
then said, "Whoever has the Hadi with him should assume Ihram
for Hajj along with `Umra and should not finish the Ihram till
he finishes both." I was menstruating when I reached Mecca,
and so I neither did Tawaf round the Ka`ba nor Tawaf between
Safa and Marwa. I complained about that to the Prophet on
which he replied, "Undo and comb your head hair, and assume
Ihram for Hajj (only) and leave the Umra." So, I did so. When
we had performed the Hajj, the Prophet sent me with my brother
`Abdur−Rahman bin Abu Bakr to Tan`im. So I performed the
`Umra. The Prophet said to me, "This `Umra is instead of your
missed one." Those who had assumed Ihram for `Umra
(Hajj−atTamattu) performed Tawaf round the Ka`ba and between
Safa and Marwa and then finished their Ihram. After returning
from Mina, they performed another Tawaf (between Safa and
Marwa). Those who had assumed Ihram for Hajj and `Umra
together (Hajj−al−Qiran) performed only one Tawaf (between
Safa and Marwa).
2.628:
Narrated Ata:
Jabir said, "The Prophet ordered `Ali to keep on assuming his
Ihram." The narrator then informed about the narration of
Suraqa.
2.629:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: `Ali came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h)
from Yemen (to Mecca). The Prophet asked `Ali, "With what
intention have you assumed Ihram?" `Ali replied, "I have
assumed Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet."
The Prophet said, "If I had not the Hadi with me I would have
finished the Ihram." Muhammad bin Bakr narrated extra from Ibn
Juraij, "The Prophet said to `Ali, "With what intention have
you assumed the Ihram, O `Ali?" He replied, "With the same
(intention) as that of the Prophet." The Prophet said, "Have a
Hadi and keep your Ihram as it is."
2.630:
Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet sent me to some people in Yemen
and when I returned, I found him at Al−Batha. He asked me,
"With what intention have you assumed Ihram (i.e. for Hajj or
for Umra or for both?") I replied, "I have assumed Ihram with
an intention like that of the Prophet." He asked, "Have you a
Hadi with you?" I replied in the negative. He ordered me to
perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa and
then to finish my Ihram. I did so and went to a woman from my
tribe who combed my hair or washed my head. Then, when `Umar
came (i.e. became Caliph) he said, "If we follow Allah's Book,
it orders us to complete Hajj and Umra; as Allah says:
"Perform the Hajj and Umra for Allah." (2.196). And if we
follow the tradition of the Prophet who did not finish his
Ihram till he sacrificed his Hadi."
2.631:
Narrated Al−Qasim bin Muhammad: ' Aisha said, "We set out with
Allah's Apostles in the months of Hajj, and (in) the nights of
Hajj, and at the time and places of Hajj and in a state of
Hajj. We dismounted at Sarif (a village six miles from Mecca).
The Prophet then addressed his companions and said, "Anyone
who has not got the Hadi and likes to do Umra instead of Hajj
may do so (i.e. Hajj−al−Tamattu`) and anyone who has got the
Hadi should not finish the Ihram after performing ' `Umra).
(i.e. Hajj−al−Qiran). Aisha added, "The companions of the
Prophet obeyed the above (order) and some of them (i.e. who
did not have Hadi) finished their Ihram after Umra." Allah's
Apostle and some of his companions were resourceful and had
the Hadi with them, they could not perform Umra (alone) (but
had to perform both Hajj and Umra with one Ihram). Aisha
added, "Allah's Apostle came to me and saw me weeping and
said, "What makes you weep, O Hantah?" I replied, "I have
heard your conversation with your companions and I cannot
perform the Umra." He asked, "What is wrong with you?' I
replied, ' I do not offer the prayers (i.e. I have my
menses).' He said, ' It will not harm you for you are one of
the daughters of Adam, and Allah has written for you (this
state) as He has written it for them. Keep on with your
intentions for Hajj and Allah may reward you that." Aisha
further added, "Then we proceeded for Hajj till we reached
Mina and I became clean from my menses. Then I went out from
Mina and performed Tawaf round the Ka`ba." Aisha added, "I
went along with the Prophet in his final departure (from Hajj)
till he dismounted at Al−Muhassab (a valley outside Mecca),
and we too, dismounted with him." He called ' `Abdur−Rahman
bin Abu Bakr and said to him, ' Take your sister outside the
sanctuary of Mecca and let her assume Ihram for ' `Umra, and
when you had finished ' `Umra, return to this place and I will
wait for you both till you both return to me.' " ' Aisha
added, " So we went out of the sanctuary of Mecca and after
finishing from the ' `Umra and the Tawaf we returned to the
Prophet at dawn. He said, 'Have you performed the ' `Umra?' We
replied in the affirmative. So he announced the departure
amongst his companions and the people set out for the journey,
and the Prophet: too left for Medina.''
2.632:
Narrated Al−Aswad: ' Aisha said, We went out with the Prophet
(from Medina) with the intention of performing Hajj only and
when we reached Mecca we performed Tawaf round the Ka`ba and
then the Prophet ordered those who had not driven the Hadi
along with them to finish their Ihram. So the people who had
not driven the Hadi along with them finished their Ihram. The
Prophet's wives, too, had not driven the Hadi with them, so
they too, finished their Ihram." `Aisha added, "I got my
menses and could not perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba." So when
it was the night of Hasba (i.e. when we stopped at
Al−Muhassab), I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Everyone is
returning after performing Hajj and `Umra but I am returning
after performing Hajj only.' He said, 'Didn't you perform
Tawaf round the Ka`ba the night we reached Mecca?' I replied
in the negative. He said, 'Go with your brother to Tan`im and
assume the Ihram for `Umra, (and after performing it) come
back to such and such a place.' On that Safiya said, 'I feel
that I will detain you all.' The Prophet said, 'O 'Aqra Halqa!
Didn't you perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba on the day of sacrifice?
(i.e. Tawaf−al−ifada) Safiya replied in the affirmative. He
said, (to Safiya). 'There is no harm for you to proceed on
with us.' " `Aisha added, "(after returning from `Umra), the
Prophet met me while he was ascending (from Mecca) and I was
descending to it, or I was ascending and he was descending."
2.633:
Narrated `Aisha:
We set out with Allah's Apostles (to Mecca) in the year of the
Prophet's Last Hajj. Some of us had assumed Ihram for `Umra
only, some for both Hajj and `Umra, and others for Hajj only.
Allah's Apostle assumed Ihram for Hajj. So whoever had assumed
Ihram for Hajj or for both Hajj and `Umra did not finish the
Ihram till the day of sacrifice. (See Hadith No. 631, 636, and
639).
2.634:
Narrated Marwan bin Al−Hakam: I saw `Uthman and `Ali. `Uthman
used to forbid people to perform Hajj−at−Tamattu` and
Hajj−al−Qiran (Hajj and `Umra together), and when `Ali saw
(this act of `Uthman), he assumed Ihram for Hajj and `Umra
together saying, "Lubbaik for `Umra and Hajj," and said, "I
will not leave the tradition of the Prophet on the saying of
somebody."
2.635:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The people (of the Pre−Islamic Period)
used to think that to perform `Umra during the months of Hajj
was one of the major sins on earth. And also used to consider
the month of Safar as a forbidden (i.e. sacred) month and they
used to say, "When the wounds of the camel's back heal up
(after they return from Hajj) and the signs of those wounds
vanish and the month of Safar passes away then (at that time)
`Umra is permissible for the one who wishes to perform it." In
the morning of the 4th of Dhul−Hijja, the Prophet and his
companions reached Mecca, assuming Ihram for Hajj and he
ordered his companions to make their intentions of the Ihram
for `Umra only (instead of Hajj) so they considered his order
as something great and were puzzled, and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! What kind (of finishing) of Ihram is allowed?" The
Prophet replied, "Finish the Ihram completely like a
non−Muhrim (you are allowed everything)."
2.636:
Narrated Abu Musa: came to the Prophet (from Yemen and was
assuming Ihram for Hajj) and he ordered me to finish the Ihram
(after performing the `Umra).
2.637:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Hafsa the wife of the Prophet said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Why have the people finished their Ihram
after performing `Umra but you have not finished your Ihram
after performing `Umra?" He replied, "I have matted my hair
and garlanded my Hadi. So I will not finish my Ihram till I
have slaughtered (my Hadi). "
2.638:
Narrated Shu`ba:
Abu Jamra Nasr bin `Imran Ad−Duba'i said, "I intended to
perform Hajj−at−Tamattu` and the people advised me not to do
so. I asked Ibn `Abbas regarding it and he ordered me to
perform Hajj−at−Tammatu'. Later I saw in a dream someone
saying to me, 'Hajj−Mabrur (Hajj performed in accordance with
the Prophet's tradition without committing sins and accepted
by Allah) and an accepted `Umra.' So I told that dream to Ibn
`Abbas. He said, 'This is the tradition of Abul−Qasim.' Then
he said to me, 'Stay with me and I shall give you a portion of
my property.' " I (Shu`ba) asked, "Why (did he invite you)?"
He (Abu Jamra) said, "Because of the dream which I had seen."
2.639:
Narrated Abu Shihab: I left for Mecca for Hajj−at−Tamattu`
assuming Ihram for `Umra. I reached Mecca three days before
the day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul−Hijja). Some people of Mecca said
to me, "Your Hajj will be like the Hajj performed by the
people of Mecca (i.e. you will lose the superiority of
assuming Ihram from the Miqat). So I went to `Ata' asking him
his view about it. He said, "Jabir bin `Abdullah narrated to
me, 'I performed Hajj with Allah's Apostle on the day when he
drove camels with him. The people had assumed Ihram for
Hajj−al−Ifrad. The Prophet ordered them to finish their Ihram
after Tawaf round the Ka`ba, and between Safa and Marwa and to
cut short their hair and then to stay there (in Mecca) as
non−Muhrims till the day of Tarwiya (i.e. 8th of Dhul−Hijja)
when they would assume Ihram for Hajj and they were ordered to
make the Ihram with which they had come as for `Umra only.
They asked, 'How can we make it `Umra (Tamattu`) as we have
intended to perform Hajj?' The Prophet said, 'Do what I have
ordered you. Had I not brought the Hadi with me, I would have
done the same, but I cannot finish my Ihram till the Hadi
reaches its destination (i.e. is slaughtered).' So, they did
(what he ordered them to do)."
2.640:
Narrated Sa`id bin Al−Musaiyab: `Ali and `Uthman differed
regarding Hajj−at−Tamattu` while they were at 'Usfan (a
familiar place near Mecca). `Ali said, "I see you want to
forbid people to do a thing that the Prophet did?" When `Ali
saw that, he assumed Ihram for both Hajj and `Umra.
2.641:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah : We came with Allah's Apostle
(to Mecca) and we were saying: 'Labbaika Allahumma Labbaik'
for Hajj. Allah's Apostle ordered us to perform `Umra with
that Ihram (instead of Hajj).
2.642:
Narrated `Imran:
We performed Hajj−at−Tamattu` in the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle and then the Qur'an was revealed (regarding
Hajj−at−Tamattu`) and somebody said what he wished (regarding
Hajj−at−Tamattu`) according his own opinion.
2.643:
Narrated Nafi`:
On reaching the sanctuary of Mecca, Ibn `Umar used to stop,
reciting Talbiya and then he would pass the night at Dhi−Tuwa
and then offer the Fajr prayer and take a bath. He used to say
that the Prophet used to do the same.
2.644:
Narrated Nafi`:
' Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet passed the night at Dhi−Tuwa
till it was dawn and then he entered Mecca." Ibn `Umar used to
do the same.
2.645:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle used to enter Mecca from
the high Thaniya and used to leave Mecca from the low Thaniya.
2.646:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle entered Mecca from Kada'
from the highest Thaniya which is at Al−Batha' and used to
leave Mecca from the low Thaniya.
2.647:
Narrated `Aisha:
When the Prophet came to Mecca he entered from its higher side
and left from its lower side.
2.648:
Narrated `Aisha':
In the year of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet entered
Mecca from Kada' and left Mecca from Kuda, from the higher
part of Mecca.
2.649:
Narrated `Aisha:
In the year of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet entered
Mecca from Kada' at the higher place of Mecca. (Hisham, a
sub−narrator said, " `Urwa used to enter (Mecca) from both
Kada' and Kuda and he often entered through Kada' which was
nearer to his dwelling place.)"
2.650:
Narrated Hisham:
`Urwa said, "The Prophet entered Mecca in the year of the
conquest of Mecca from the side of Kada' which is at the
higher part of Mecca." `Urwa often entered from Kada' which
was nearer of the two to his dwelling place.
2.651:
Narrated Hisham from his father : In the year of the conquest
of Mecca, the Prophet entered Mecca from the side of Kada.
`Urwa used to enter through both places and he often entered
through Kada' which was nearer of the two to his dwelling
place.
2.652:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: When the Ka`ba was built, the
Prophet and `Abbas went to bring stones (for its
construction). Al `Abbas said to the Prophet, "Take off your
waist sheet and put it on your neck." (When the Prophet took
it off) he fell on the ground with his eyes open towards the
sky and said, "Give me my waist sheet." And he covered himself
with it.
2.653:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) that Allah's Apostle said to her,
"Do you know that when your people (Quraish) rebuilt the
Ka`ba, they decreased it from its original foundation laid by
Abraham?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why don't you rebuild it
on its original foundation laid by Abraham?" He replied, "Were
it not for the fact that your people are close to the
Pre−Islamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently
become Muslims) I would have done so." The sub−narrator,
`Abdullah (bin `Umar ) stated: `Aisha 'must have heard this
from Allah's Apostle for in my opinion Allah's Apostle had not
placed his hand over the two corners of the Ka`ba opposite
Al−Hijr only because the Ka`ba was not rebuilt on its original
foundations laid by Abraham.
2.654:
Narrated `Aisha:
I asked the Prophet whether the round wall (near Ka`ba) was
part of the Ka`ba. The Prophet replied in the affirmative. I
further said, "What is wrong with them, why have they not
included it in the building of the Ka`ba?" He said, "Don't you
see that your people (Quraish) ran short of money (so they
could not include it inside the building of Ka`ba)?" I asked,
"What about its gate? Why is it so high?" He replied, "Your
people did this so as to admit into it whomever they liked and
prevent whomever they liked. Were your people not close to the
Pre−Islamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently
embraced Islam) and were I not afraid that they would dislike
it, surely I would have included the (area of the) wall inside
the building of the Ka`ba and I would have lowered its gate to
the level of the ground."
2.655:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said to me, "Were your people not close to the
Pre−Islamic period of ignorance, I would have demolished the
Ka`ba and would have rebuilt it on its original foundations
laid by Abraham (for Quraish had curtailed its building), and
I would have built a back door (too)."
2.656:
Narrated Yazid bin Ruman from `Urwa: `Aisha said that the
Prophet said to her, "O Aisha! Were your nation not close to
the Pre−Islamic Period of Ignorance, I would have had the
Ka`ba demolished and would have included in it the portion
which had been left, and would have made it at a level with
the ground and would have made two doors for it, one towards
the east and the other towards the west, and then by doing
this it would have been built on the foundations laid by
Abraham." That was what urged Ibn−Az−Zubair to demolish the
Ka`ba. Jazz said, "I saw Ibn−Az−Zubair when he demolished and
rebuilt the Ka`ba and included in it a portion of Al−Hijr (the
unroofed portion of Ka`ba which is at present in the form of a
compound towards the northwest of the Ka`ba). I saw the
original foundations of Abraham which were of stones
resembling the humps of camels." So Jarir asked Yazid, "Where
was the place of those stones?" Jazz said, "I will just now
show it to you." So Jarir accompanied Yazid and entered
Al−Hijr, and Jazz pointed to a place and said, "Here it is."
Jarir said, "It appeared to me about six cubits from Al−Hijr
or so."
2.657:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: On the Day of the Conquest of Mecca,
Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has made this town a sanctuary.
Its thorny bushes should not be cut, its game should not be
chased, and its fallen things should not be picked up except
by one who would announce it publicly."
2.658:
Narrated 'Usama bin Zaid: I asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Where
will you stay in Mecca? Will you stay in your house in Mecca?"
He replied, "Has `Aqil left any property or house?" `Aqil
along with Talib had inherited the property of Abu Talib.
Jafar and `Ali did not inherit anything as they were Muslims
and the other two were non−believers. `Umar bin Al−Khattab
used to say, "A believer cannot inherit (anything from an)
infidel." Ibn Shihab, (a sub−narrator) said, "They (`Umar and
others) derived the above verdict from Allah's Statement:
"Verily! those who believed and Emigrated and strove with
their life And property in Allah's Cause, And those who helped
(the emigrants) And gave them their places to live in, These
are (all) allies to one another." (8.72)
2.659:
Narrated Abu Huraira: When Allah's Apostle intended to enter
Mecca he said, "Our destination tomorrow, if Allah wished,
will be Khaif Bani Kinana where (the pagans) had taken the
oath of Kufr." (Against the Prophet i.e. to be loyal to
heathenism by boycotting Bani Hashim, the Prophets folk) (See
Hadith No. 221 Vol. 5)
2.660:
Narrated Abu Huraira: On the Day of Nahr at Mina, the Prophet
said, "Tomorrow we shall stay at Khaif Bani Kinana where the
pagans had taken the oath of Kufr (heathenism)." He meant (by
that place) Al−Muhassab where the Quraish tribe and Bani
Kinana concluded a contract against Bani Hashim and Bani
`Abdul−Muttalib or Bani Al−Muttalib that they would not
intermarry with them or deal with them in business until they
handed over the Prophet to them.
2.661:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet;; said, "Dhus−Suwaiqa−tain
(literally: One with two lean legs) from Ethiopia will
demolish the Ka`ba."
2.662:
Narrated `Aisha:
The people used to fast on 'Ashura (the tenth day of the month
of Muharram) before the fasting of Ramadan was made
obligatory. And on that day the Ka`ba used to be covered with
a cover. When Allah made the fasting of the month of Ramadan
compulsory, Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever wishes to fast (on
the day of 'Ashura') may do so; and whoever wishes to leave it
can do so."
2.663:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: The Prophet said "The people
will continue performing the Hajj and `Umra to the Ka`ba even
after the appearance of Gog and Magog." Narrated Shu`ba extra:
The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be established till the
Hajj (to the Ka`ba) is abandoned.
2.664:
Narrated Abu Wail: (One day) I sat along with Shaiba on the
chair inside the Ka`ba. He (Shaiba) said, "No doubt, `Umar sat
at this place and said, 'I intended not to leave any yellow
(i.e. gold) or white (i.e. silver) (inside the Ka`ba)
undistributed.' I said (to `Umar), 'But your two companions
(i.e. The Prophet and Abu Bakr) did not do so.' `Umar said,
They are the two persons whom I always follow.' "
2.665:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "As if I were looking
at him, a black person with thin legs plucking the stones of
the Ka`ba one after another. "
2.666:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Dhus−Suwaiqatain
(the thin legged man) from Ethiopia will demolish the Ka`ba."
2.667:
Narrated `Abis bin Rabi`a: `Umar came near the Black Stone and
kissed it and said "No doubt, I know that you are a stone and
can neither benefit anyone nor harm anyone. Had I not seen
Allah's Apostle kissing you I would not have kissed you."
2.668:
Narrated Salim that his father said, "Allah's Apostle, Usama
bin Zaid, Bilal, and `Uthman bin abu Talha entered the Ka`ba
and then closed its door. When they opened the door I was the
first person to enter (the Ka`ba). I met Bilal and asked him,
"Did Allah's Apostle offer a prayer inside (the Ka`ba)?" Bilal
replied in the affirmative and said, "(The Prophet offered the
prayer) in between the two right pillars."
2.669:
Narrated Nafi`:
Whenever Ibn `Umar entered the Ka`ba he used to walk straight
keeping the door at his back on entering, and used to proceed
on till about three cubits from the wall in front of him, and
then he would offer the prayer there aiming at the place where
Allah's Apostle prayed, as Bilal had told him. There is no
harm for any person to offer the prayer at any place inside
the Ka`ba.
2.670:
Narrated Isma'li bin Abu Khalid: `Abdullah bin Abu `Aufa said,
"Allah's Apostle performed the `Umra. He performed Tawaf of
the Ka`ba and offered two rak`at behind the Maqam (Abraham's
place) and was accompanied by those who were screening him
from the people." Somebody asked `Abdullah, "Did Allah's
Apostle enter the Ka`ba?" `Abdullah replied in the negative.
2.671:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When Allah's Apostle came to Mecca, he
refused to enter the Ka`ba with idols in it. He ordered (idols
to be taken out). So they were taken out. The people took out
the pictures of Abraham and Ishmael holding Azlams in their
hands. Allah's Apostle said, "May Allah curse these people. By
Allah, both Abraham and Ishmael never did the game of chance
with Azlams." Then he entered the Ka`ba and said Takbir at its
corners but did not offer the prayer in it.
2.672:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When Allah's Apostle and his companions
came to Mecca, the pagans circulated the news that a group of
people were coming to them and they had been weakened by the
Fever of Yathrib (Medina). So the Prophet ordered his
companions to do Ramal in the first three rounds of Tawaf of
the Ka`ba and to walk between the two corners (The Black Stone
and Yemenite corner). The Prophet did not order them to do
Ramal in all the rounds of Tawaf out of pity for them.
2.673:
Narrated Salim that his father said: I saw Allah's Apostle
arriving at Mecca; he kissed the Black Stone Corner first
while doing Tawaf and did ramal in the first three rounds of
the seven rounds (of Tawaf).
2.674:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar : The Prophet did Ramal in
(first) three rounds (of Tawaf), and walked in the remaining
four, in Hajj and Umra.
2.675:
Narrated Zaid bin Aslam from his father who said: "`Umar bin
Al−Khattab addressed the Corner (Black Stone) saying, 'By
Allah! I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit nor
harm. Had I not seen the Prophet touching (and kissing) you, I
would never have touched (and kissed) you.' Then he kissed it
and said, 'There is no reason for us to do Ramal (in Tawaf)
except that we wanted to show off before the pagans, and now
Allah has destroyed them.' `Umar added, '(Nevertheless), the
Prophet did that and we do not want to leave it (i.e. Ramal).'
2.676:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar. said, "I have never missed the touching of these
two stones of Ka`ba (the Black Stone and the Yemenite Corner)
both in the presence and the absence of crowds, since I saw
the Prophet touching them." I asked Nafi`: "Did Ibn `Umar use
to walk between the two Corners?" Nafi` replied, "He used to
walk in order that it might be easy for him to touch it (the
Corner Stone)."
2.677:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas.: In his Last Hajj the Prophet performed
Tawaf of the Ka`ba riding a camel and pointed a bent−headed
stick towards the Corner (Black Stone).
2.678:
Narrated Salim bin `Abdullah that his father said: "I have not
seen the Prophet touching except the two Yemenite Corners
(i.e. the ones facing Yemen)."
2.679:
Narrated Zaid bin Aslam that his father said: "I saw `Umar bin
Al−Khattab kissing the Black Stone and he then said, (to it)
'Had I not seen Allah's Apostle kissing you, (stone) I would
not have kissed you.' "
2.680:
Narrated Az−Zubair bin 'Arabi: A man asked Ibn `Umar about the
touching of the Black Stone. Ibn `Umar said, "I saw Allah's
Apostle touching and kissing it." The questioner said, "But if
there were a throng (much rush) round the Ka`ba and the people
overpowered me, (what would I do?)" He replied angrily, "Stay
in Yemen (as that man was from Yemen). I saw Allah's Apostle
touching and kissing it."
2.681:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba
while riding a camel, and whenever he came in front of the
Corner, he pointed towards it (with something).
2.682:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba
riding a camel, and every time he came in front of the Corner
(having the Black Stone), he pointed towards it with something
he had with him and said Takbir.
2.683:
Narrated `Urwa:
`Aisha said, "The first thing the Prophet did on reaching
Mecca, was the ablution and then he performed Tawaf of the
Ka`ba and that was not `Umra (alone), (but Hajj−al−Qiran).
`Urwa added: Later Abu Bakr and `Umar did the same in their
Hajj." And I performed the Hajj with my father Az−Zubair, and
the first thing he did was Tawaf of the Ka`ba. Later I saw the
Muhajirin (Emigrants) and the Ansar doing the same. My mother
(Asma') told me that she, her sister (`Aisha), Az−Zubair and
such and such persons assumed Ihram for `Umra, and after they
passed their hands over the Black Stone Corner (of the Ka`ba)
they finished the Ihram. (i.e. After doing Tawaf of the Ka`ba
and Sa`i between Safa−Marwa.
2.684:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar : When Allah's Apostle performed
Tawaf of the Ka`ba for Hajj or `Umra, he used to do Ramal
during the first three rounds, and in the last four rounds he
used to walk; then after the Tawaf he used to offer two rak`at
and then performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa.
2.685:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: When the Prophet performed the Tawaf of
the Ka`ba, he did Ramal during the first three rounds and in
the last four rounds he used to walk and while doing Tawaf
between Safa and Marwa, he used to run in the midst of the
rain water passage.
2.686:
Narrated Um Salama: (the wife of the Prophet) I informed
Allah's Apostle that I was ill. So he said, "Perform the Tawaf
while riding behind the people." I did so, and at that time
the Prophet was praying beside the Ka`ba and reciting
Surat−at−Tur.
2.687:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: While the Prophet was performing Tawaf of
the Ka`ba, he passed by a person who had tied his hands to
another person with a rope or string or something like that.
The Prophet cut it with his own hands and said, "Lead him by
the hand."
2.688:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet saw a man performing Tawaf of
the Ka`ba tied with a string or something else. So the Prophet
cut that string.
2.689:
Narrated Abu Huraira: In the year prior to the last Hajj of
the Prophet when Allah's Apostle made Abu Bakr the leader of
the pilgrims, the latter (Abu Bakr) sent me in the company of
a group of people to make a public announcement: 'No pagan is
allowed to perform Hajj after this year, and no naked person
is allowed to perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba.' (See Hadith No. 365
Vol. 1)
2.690:
Narrated `Amr:
We asked Ibn `Umar: "May a man have sexual relations with his
wife during the Umra before performing Tawaf between Safa and
Marwa?" He said, "Allah's Apostle arrived (in Mecca) and
circumambulated the Ka`ba seven times, then offered two rak`at
behind Maqam Ibrahim (the station of Abraham), then performed
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." Ibn `Umar added, "Verily! In
Allah's Apostle you have a good example." And I asked Jabir
bin `Abdullah (the same question), and he replied, "You should
not go near your wives (have sexual relations) till you have
finished Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. "
2.691:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet arrived at Mecca and
performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and Sa`i between Safa and Marwa,
but he did not go near the Ka`ba after his Tawaf till he
returned from `Arafat.
2.692:
Narrated Um Salama: (the wife of the Prophet) I informed
Allah's Apostle (about my illness). (Through other
sub−narrators, Um Salama narrated that when Allah's Apostle
was at Mecca and had just decided to leave (Mecca) while she
had not yet done Tawaf of the Ka`ba (and after listening to
her). The Prophet said, "When the morning prayer is
established, perform the Tawaf on your camel while the people
are in prayer." So she did the same and did not offer the two
rak`at of Tawaf until she came out of the Mosque.
2.693:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet reached Mecca, circumambulated
the Ka`ba seven times and then offered a two rak`at prayer
behind Maqam Ibrahim. Then he went towards the Safa. Allah has
said, "Verily, in Allah's Apostle you have a good example."
2.694:
Narrated `Urwa from Aisha: Some people performed Tawaf (of the
Ka`ba) after the morning prayer and then sat to listen to a
preacher till sunrise, and then they stood up for the prayer.
Then Aisha commented, "Those people kept on sitting till it
was the time in which the prayer is disliked and after that
they stood up for the prayer."
2.695:
Narrated `Abdullah: I heard the Prophet forbidding the
offering of prayers at the time of sunrise and sunset.
2.696:
Narrated Abida bin Humaid: `Abdul, `Aziz bin Rufa`i said, "I
saw `Abdullah bin Az−Zubair performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba
after the morning prayer then offering the two rak`at prayer."
`Abdul `Aziz added, "I saw `Abdullah bin Az−Zubair offering a
two rak`at prayer after the `Asr prayer." He informed me that
Aisha told him that the Prophet used to offer those two rak`at
whenever he entered her house."
2.697:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle performed Tawaf (of the
Ka`ba) ending a camel (at that time the Prophet had foot
injury). Whenever he came to the Corner (having the Black
Stone) he would point out towards it with a thing in his hand
and say, "Allahu−Akbar."
2.698:
Narrated Um Salama: I informed Allah's Apostle that I was
sick. He said, "Perform Tawaf (of the Ka`ba) while riding
behind the people." So, I performed the Tawaf while Allah's
Apostle was offering the prayer beside the Ka`ba and was
reciting Surat−at−Tur.
2.699:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Al `Abbas bin `Abdul−Muttalib asked the
permission of Allah's Apostle to let him stay in Mecca during
the nights of Mina in order to provide the pilgrims with water
to drink, so the Prophet permitted him.
2.700:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle came to the drinking
place and asked for water. Al−Abbas said, "O Fadl! Go to your
mother and bring water from her for Allah's Apostle ." Allah's
Apostle said, "Give me water to drink." Al−Abbas said, "O
Allah's Apostle! The people put their hands in it." Allah's
Apostle again said, 'Give me water to drink. So, he drank from
that water and then went to the Zamzam (well) and there the
people were offering water to the others and working at it
(drawing water from the well). The Prophet then said to them,
"Carry on! You are doing a good deed." Then he said, "Were I
not afraid that other people would compete with you (in
drawing water from Zamzam), I would certainly take the rope
and put it over this (i.e. his shoulder) (to draw water)." On
saying that the Prophet pointed to his shoulder.
2.701:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I gave Zamzam water to Allah's Apostle
and he drank it while standing. 'Asia (a sub−narrator) said
that `Ikrima took the oath that on that day the Prophet had
not been standing but riding a camel.
2.702:
Narrated `Aisha:
We set out with Allah's Apostle in the year of his Last Hajj
and we mended (the Ihram) for `Umra. Then the Prophet said,
"Whoever has a Hadi with him should assume Ihram for both Hajj
and `Umra, and should not finish it till he performs both of
the them (Hajj and `Umra)." When we reached Mecca, I had my
menses. When we had performed our Hajj, the Prophet sent me
with `Abdur−Rahman to Tan`im and I performed the `Umra. The
Prophet said, "This is in lieu of your missed `Umra." Those
who had assumed Ihram for `Umra performed Tawaf (between Safa
and Marwa) and then finished their Ihram. And then they
performed another Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) after
returning from Mina. And those who had assumed lhram for Hajj
and `Umra to get her ( Hajj−Qiran ) performed only one Tawaf
(between Safa and Marwa).
2.703:
Narrated Nafi`:
`Abdullah bin `Abdullah bin `Umar and his riding animal
entered the house of Ibn `Umar. He (the son of Ibn `Umar)
said, "I fear that this year a battle might take place between
the people and you might be prevented from going to the Ka`ba.
I suggest that you should stay here." Ibn `Umar said, "Once
Allah's Apostle set out for the pilgrimage, and the pagans of
Quraish intervened between him and the Ka`ba. So, if the
people intervened between me and the Ka`ba, I would do the
same as Allah's Apostle had done . . . "Verily, in Allah's
Apostle you have a good example." Then he added, "I make you a
witness that I have intended to perform Hajj along with
`Umra." After arriving at Mecca, Ibn `Umar performed one Tawaf
only (between Safa and Marwa).
2.704:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar intended to perform Hajj in the year when Al−Hajjaj
attacked Ibn Az−Zubair. Somebody said to Ibn `Umar, "There is
a danger of an impending war between them." Ibn `Umar said,
"Verily, in Allah's Apostle you have a good example. (And if
it happened as you say) then I would do the same as Allah's
Apostle had done. I make you witness that I have decided to
perform `Umra." Then he set out and when he reached Al−Baida',
he said, "The ceremonies of both Hajj and `Umra are similar. I
make you witness that I have made Hajj compulsory for me along
with `Umra." He drove (to Mecca) a Hadi which he had bought
from (a place called) Qudaid and did not do more than that. He
did not slaughter the Hadi or finish his Ihram, or shave or
cut short his hair till the day of slaughtering the sacrifices
(10th Dhul−Hijja). Then he slaughtered his Hadi and shaved his
head and considered the first Tawaf (of Safa and Marwa) as
sufficient for Hajj and `Umra. Ibn `Umar said, "Allah's
Apostle did the same."
2.705:
Narrated Muhammad bin `Abdur−Rahman bin Nawfal Al−Qurashi: I
asked `Urwa bin Az−Zubair (regarding the Hajj of the Prophet
). `Urwa replied, "Aisha narrated, 'When the Prophet reached
Mecca, the first thing he started with was the ablution, then
he performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and his intention was not
`Umra alone (but Hajj and `Umra together).' " Later Abu Bakr I
performed the Hajj and the first thing he started with was
Tawaf of the Ka`ba and it was not `Umra alone (but Hajj and
`Umra together). And then `Umar did the same. Then `Uthman
performed the Hajj and the first thing he started with was
Tawaf of the Ka`ba and it was not `Umra alone. And then
Muawiya and `Abdullah bin `Umar did the same. I performed Hajj
with Ibn Az−Zubair and the first thing he started with was
Tawaf of the Ka`ba and it was not `Umra alone, (but Hajj and
`Umra together). Then I saw the Muhajirin (Emigrants) and
Ansar doing the same and it was not `Umra alone. And the last
person I saw doing the same was Ibn `Umar, and he did not do
another `Umra after finishing the first. Now here is Ibn `Umar
present amongst the people! They neither ask him nor anyone of
the previous ones. And all these people, on entering Mecca,
would not start with anything unless they had performed Tawaf
of the Ka`ba, and would not finish their Ihram. And no doubt,
I saw my mother and my aunt, on entering Mecca doing nothing
before performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba, and they would not
finish their lhram. And my mother informed me that she, her
sister, Az−Zubair and such and such persons had assumed lhram
for `Umra and after passing their hands over the Corner (the
Black Stone) (i.e. finishing their Umra) they finished their
Ihram."
2.706:
Narrated `Urwa:
I asked `Aisha : "How do you interpret the statement of
Allah,. : Verily! (the mountains) As−Safa and Al−Marwa are
among the symbols of Allah, and whoever performs the Hajj to
the Ka`ba or performs `Umra, it is not harmful for him to
perform Tawaf between them (Safa and Marwa.) (2.158). By
Allah! (it is evident from this revelation) there is no harm
if one does not perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." `Aisha
said, "O, my nephew! Your interpretation is not true. Had this
interpretation of yours been correct, the statement of Allah
should have been, 'It is not harmful for him if he does not
perform Tawaf between them.' But in fact, this divine
inspiration was revealed concerning the Ansar who used to
assume lhram for worship ping an idol called "Manat" which
they used to worship at a place called Al−Mushallal before
they embraced Islam, and whoever assumed Ihram (for the idol),
would consider it not right to perform Tawaf between Safa and
Marwa. When they embraced Islam, they asked Allah's Apostle
(p.b.u.h) regarding it, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! We used to
refrain from Tawaf between Safa and Marwa." So Allah revealed:
'Verily; (the mountains) As−Safa and Al−Marwa are among the
symbols of Allah.' " Aisha added, "Surely, Allah's Apostle set
the tradition of Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, so nobody is
allowed to omit the Tawaf between them." Later on I (`Urwa)
told Abu Bakr bin `Abdur−Rahman (of `Aisha's narration) and he
said, 'I have not heard of such information, but I heard
learned men saying that all the people, except those whom
`Aisha mentioned and who used to assume lhram for the sake of
Manat, used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa. When
Allah referred to the Tawaf of the Ka`ba and did not mention
Safa and Marwa in the Qur'an, the people asked, 'O Allah's
Apostle! We used to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa and
Allah has revealed (the verses concerning) Tawaf of the Ka`ba
and has not mentioned Safa and Marwa. Is there any harm if we
perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?' So Allah revealed:
"Verily As−Safa and Al−Marwa are among the symbols of Allah."
Abu Bakr said, "It seems that this verse was revealed
concerning the two groups, those who used to refrain from
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa in the Pre−Islamic Period of
ignorance and those who used to perform the Tawaf then, and
after embracing Islam they refrained from the Tawaf between
them as Allah had enjoined Tawaf of the Ka`ba and did not
mention Tawaf (of Safa and Marwa) till later after mentioning
the Tawaf of the Ka`ba.'
2.707:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar said, "When Allah's Apostle performed the first
Tawaf he did Ramal in the first three rounds and then walked
in the remaining four rounds (of Tawaf of the Ka`ba), where as
in performing Tawaf between Safa and Marwa he used to run in
the midst of the rainwater passage," I asked Nafi`, "Did
`Abdullah (bin `Umar) use to walk steadily on reaching the
Yemenite Corner?" He replied, "No, unless people were crowded
at the Corner; otherwise he would not leave it without
touching it."
2.708:
Narrated `Amr bin Dinar: We asked Ibn `Umar whether a man who,
while performing `Umra, had performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba; and
had not yet performed Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, could have
sexual relation with his wife, Ibn `Umar replied "The Prophet
(p.b.u.h) reached Mecca and performed the seven rounds (of
Tawaf) of the Ka`ba and then offered a two−rak`at prayer
behind Maqam Ibrahim and then performed the seven rounds (of
Tawaf) between Safa and Marwa." He added, "Verily! In Allah's
Apostle (p.b.u.h) you have a good example." We asked Jabir bin
`Abdullah (the same question) and he said, "He (that man)
should not come near (his wife) till he has completed Tawaf
between Safa and Marwa."
2.709:
Narrated `Amr bin Dinar: I heard Ibn `Umar saying, "The
Prophet arrived at Mecca and performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and
then offered a two−rak`at prayer and then performed Tawaf
between Safa and Marwa." Ibn `Umar then recited (the verse):
"Verily! In Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) you have a good example.
"
2.710:
Narrated `Asim:
I asked Anas bin Malik: "Did you use to dislike to perform
Tawaf between Safa and Marwa?" He said, "Yes, as it was of the
ceremonies of the days of the Pre−Islamic period of ignorance,
till Allah revealed: 'Verily! (The two mountains) As−Safa and
Al−Marwa are among the symbols of Allah. It is therefore no
sin for him who performs the pilgrimage to the Ka`ba, or
performs `Umra, to perform Tawaf between them.' " (2.158)
2.711:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle performed Tawaf of the
Ka`ba and the Sa`i of Safa and Marwa so as to show his
strength to the pagans.
2.712:
Narrated `Aisha:
I was menstruating when I reached Mecca. So, I neither
performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba, nor the Tawaf between Safa and
Marwa. Then I informed Allah's Apostle about it. He replied,
"Perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the other pilgrims,
but do not perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba till you get clean (from
your menses)."
2.713:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet and his companions
assumed Ihram for Hajj and none except the Prophet (p.b.u.h)
and Talha had the Hadi (sacrifice) with them. `Ali arrived
from Yemen and had a Hadi with him. `Ali said, "I have assumed
Ihram for what the Prophet has done." The Prophet ordered his
companions to perform the `Umra with the lhram which they had
assumed, and after finishing Tawaf (of Ka`ba, Safa and Marwa)
to cut short their hair, and to finish their lhram except
those who had Hadi with them. They (the people) said, "How can
we proceed to Mina (for Hajj) after having sexual relations
with our wives?" When that news reached the Prophet he said,
"If I had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would
not have brought the Hadi with me. Had there been no Hadi with
me, I would have finished the state of lhram." `Aisha got her
menses, so she performed all the ceremonies of Hajj except
Tawaf of the Ka`ba, and when she got clean (from her menses),
she performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba. She said, "O Allah's
Apostle! (All of you) are returning with the Hajj and `Umra,
but I am returning after performing Hajj only." So the Prophet
ordered `Abdur−Rahman bin Abu Bakr to accompany her to Tan`im
and thus she performed the `Umra after the Hajj.
2.714:
Narrated Hafsa:
(On `Id) We used to forbid our virgins to go out (for `Id
prayer). A lady came and stayed at the Palace of Bani Khalaf.
She mentioned that her sister was married to one of the
companions of Allah's Apostle who participated in twelve
Ghazawats along with Allah's Apostle and her sister was with
him in six of them. She said, "We used to dress the wounded
and look after the patients." She (her sister) asked Allah's
Apostle , "Is there any harm for a woman to stay at home if
she doesn't have a veil?" He said, "She should cover herself
with the veil of her companion and she should take part in the
good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the believers."
When Um 'Atiyya came, I asked her. "Did you hear anything
about that?" Um 'Atiyya said, "Bi Abi" and she never mentioned
the name of Allah's Apostle without saying "Bi Abi" (i.e. 'Let
my father be sacrificed for you'). We asked her, "Have you
heard Allah's Apostle saying so and so (about women)?" She
replied in the affirmative and said, "Let my father be
sacrificed for him. He told us that unmarried mature virgins
who stay often screened or unmarried young virgins and mature
girls who stay often screened should come out and take part in
the good deeds and in the religious gatherings of the
believers. But the menstruating women should keep away from
the Musalla (praying place)." I asked her, "The menstruating
women?" She replied, "Don't they present themselves at `Arafat
and at such and such places?"
2.715:
Narrated `Abdul `Aziz bin Rufai: I asked Anas bin Malik, "Tell
me what you remember from Allah's Apostle (regarding these
questions): Where did he offer the Zuhr and `Asr prayers on
the day of Tarwiya (8th day of Dhul−Hijja)?" He relied, "(He
offered these prayers) at Mina." I asked, "Where did he offer
the `Asr prayer on the day of Nafr (i.e. departure from Mina
on the 12th or 13th of Dhul−Hijja)?" He replied, "At
Al−Abtah," and then added, "You should do as your chiefs do."
2.716:
Narrated `Abdul `Aziz: I went out to Mina on the day of
Tarwiya and met Anas going on a donkey. I asked him, "Where
did the Prophet offer the Zuhr prayer on this day?" Anas
replied, "See where your chiefs pray and pray similarly."
2.717:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar : Allah's Apostle offered a
two−rak`at prayer at Mina. Abu Bakr, `Umar and `Uthman,
(during the early years of his caliphate) followed the same
practice.
2.718:
Narrated Haritha bin Wahab Al−Khuza`i: The Prophet led us in a
two−rak`at prayer at Mina although our number was more than
ever and we were in better security than ever.
2.719:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: I offered (only a) two rak`at
prayer with the Prophet (at Mina), and similarly with Abu Bakr
and with `Umar, and then you d offered in opinions. Wish that
I would be lucky enough to have two of the four rak`at
accepted (by Allah).
2.720:
Narrated Um Al−Fadl: The people doubted whether the Prophet
was observing the fast on the Day of `Arafat, so I sent
something for him to drink and he drank it.
2.721:
Narrated Muhammad bin Abu Bakr Al−Thaqafi: I asked Anas bin
Malik while we were proceeding from Mina to `Arafat, "What do
you use to do on this day when you were with Allah's Apostle
?" Anas said, "Some of us used to recite Talbiya and nobody
objected to that, and others used to recite Takbir and nobody
objected to that."
2.722:
Narrated Salim:
`Abdul Malik wrote to Al−Hajjaj that he should not differ from
Ibn `Umar during Hajj. On the Day of `Arafat, when the sun
declined at midday, Ibn `Umar came along with me and shouted
near Al−Hajjaj's cotton (cloth) tent. Al−Hajjaj came Out,
wrapping himself with a waist−sheet dyed with safflower, and
said, "O Abu `Abdur−Rahman! What is the matter?" He said, If
you want to follow the Sunna (the tradition of the Prophet
(p.b.u.h) ) then proceed (to `Arafat)." Al−Hajjaj asked, "At
this very hour?" Ibn `Umar said, "Yes." He replied, "Please
wait for me till I pour some water over my head (i.e. take a
bath) and come out." Then Ibn `Umar dismounted and waited till
Al−Hajjaj came out. So, he (Al−Hajjaj) walked in between me
and my father (Ibn `Umar). I said to him, "If you want to
follow the Sunna then deliver a brief sermon and hurry up for
the stay at `Arafat." He started looking at `Abdullah (Ibn
`Umar) (inquiringly), and when `Abdullah noticed that, he said
that he had told the truth.
2.723:
Narrated Um Al−Fadl bint Al Harith: On the day of `Arafat,
some people who were with me, differed about the fasting of
the Prophet (p.b.u.h) some said that he was fasting while
others said that he was not fasting. So I sent a bowl full of
milk to him while he was riding his camel, and he drank that
milk.
2.724:
Narrated Salim bin `Abdullah bin `Umar: `Abdul−Malik bin
Marwan wrote to Al−Hajjaj that he should follow `Abdullah bin
`Umar in all the ceremonies of Hajj. So when it was the Day of
`Arafat (9th of Dhul−Hijja), and after the sun has deviated or
has declined from the middle of the sky, I and Ibn `Umar came
and he shouted near the cotton (cloth) tent of Al−Hajjaj,
"Where is he?" Al−Hajjaj came out. Ibn `Umar said, "Let us
proceed (to `Arafat)." Al−Hajjaj asked, "Just now?" Ibn `Umar
replied, "Yes." Al−Hajjaj said, "Wait for me till I pour water
on me (i.e. take a bath)." So, Ibn `Umar dismounted (and
waited) till Al−Hajjaj came out. He was walking between me and
my father. I informed Al−Hajjaj, "If you want to follow the
Sunna today, then you should shorten the sermon and then hurry
up for the stay (at `Arafat)." Ibn `Umar said, "He (Salim) has
spoken the truth."
2.725:
Narrated Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut`im: My father said,
"(Before Islam) I was looking for my camel .." The same
narration is told by a different sub−narrator. Jubair bin
Mut`im said, "My camel was lost and I went out in search of it
on the day of `Arafat, and I saw the Prophet standing in
`Arafat. I said to myself: By Allah he is from the Hums
(literally: strictly religious, Quraish were called so, as
they used to say, 'We are the people of Allah we shall not go
out of the sanctuary). What has brought him here?"
2.726:
Narrated `Urwa:
During the Pre−Islamic period of Ignorance, the people used to
perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba naked except the Hums; and the Hums
were Quraish and their offspring. The Hums used to give
clothes to the men who would perform the Tawaf wearing them;
and women (of the Hums) used to give clothes to the women who
would perform the Tawaf wearing them. Those to whom the Hums
did not give clothes would perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba
naked. Most of the people used to go away (disperse) directly
from `Arafat but they (Hums) used to depart after staying at
Al−Muzdalifa. `Urwa added, "My father narrated that `Aisha had
said, 'The following verses were revealed about the Hums: Then
depart from the place whence all the people depart−− (2.199)
`Urwa added, "They (the Hums) used to stay at Al−Muzdalifa and
used to depart from there (to Mina) and so they were sent to
`Arafat (by Allah's order)."
2.727:
Narrated `Urwa:
Usama was asked in my presence, "How was the speed of (the
camel of) Allah's Apostle while departing from `Arafat during
the Hajjatul Wada`?" Usama replied, "The Prophet proceeded on
with a modest pace, and when there was enough space he would
(make his camel) go very fast."
2.728:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: As soon as the Prophet departed from
`Arafat, he went towards the mountain pass, and there he
answered the call of) the prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Will you offer the prayer here?" He
replied, "(The place of) the prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at
Al−Muzdalifa)."
2.729:
Narrated Nafi`:
`Abdullah bin `Umar used to offer the Maghrib and `Isha'
prayers together at Jam' (Al−Muzdalifa). But he used to pass
by that mountain pass where Allah's Apostle went, and he would
enter it and answer the call of nature and perform ablution,
and would not offer any prayer till he had prayed at Jam.'
2.730:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: I rode behind Allah's Apostle from
`Arafat and when Allah's Apostle reached the mountain pass on
the left side which is before Al−Muzdalifa he made his camel
kneel and then urinated, and then I poured water for his
ablution. He performed light ablution and then I said to him:
(Is it the time for) the prayer, O Allah's Apostle!" He
replied, "The (place of) prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at
Al−Muzdalifa)." So Allah's Apostle rode till he reached
Al−Muzdalifa and then he offered the prayer (there) . Then in
the morning (10th Dhul−Hijja) Al−Faql (bin `Abbas) rode behind
Allah's Apostle. Kuraib, (a sub−narrator) said that `Abdullah
bin `Abbas narrated from Al−Fadl, "Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h)
kept on reciting Talbiya (during the journey) till he reached
the Jamra." (Jamrat−Al−`Aqaba)
2.731:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas. : I proceeded along with the Prophet on
the day of `Arafat (9th Dhul−Hijja). The Prophet heard a great
hue and cry and the beating of camels behind him. So he
beckoned to the people with his lash, "O people! Be quiet.
Hastening is not a sign of righteousness."
2.732:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: Allah's Apostle proceeded from
`Arafat and dismounted at the mountainous pass and then
urinated and performed a light ablution. I said to him,
"(Shall we offer) the prayer?" He replied, "The prayer is
ahead of you (i.e. at Al−Muzdalifa)." When he came to
Al−Muzdalifa, he performed a perfect ablution. Then Iqama for
the prayer was pronounced and he offended the Maghrib prayer
and then every person made his camel kneel at his place; and
then Iqama for the prayer was pronounced and he offered the
(`Isha') prayer and he did not offer any prayer in between
them (i.e. Maghrib and `Isha' prayers).
2.733:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet offered the Maghrib and `Isha'
prayers together at Jam' (i.e. Al−Muzdalifa) with a separate
Iqama for each of them and did not offer any optional prayer
in between them or after each of them.
2.734:
Narrated Abu Aiyub Al−Ansari : Allah's Apostle offered the
Maghrib and `Isha' prayers together at Al−Muzdalifa.
2.735:
Narrated `Abdur−Rahman bin Yazid: `Abdullah;− performed the
Hajj and we reached Al−Muzdalifa at or about the time of the
`Isha' prayer. He ordered a man to pronounce the Adhan and
Iqama and then he offered the Maghrib prayer and offered two
rak`at after it. Then he asked for his supper and took it, and
then, I think, he ordered a man to pronounce the Adhan and
Iqama (for the `Isha' prayer). (`Amr, a sub−narrator said: The
intervening statement 'I think', was said by the sub−narrator
Zuhair) (i.e. not by `Abdur−Rahman). Then `Abdullah offered
two rak`at of `Isha' prayer. When the day dawned, `Abdullah
said, "The Prophet never offered any prayer at this hour
except this prayer at this time and at this place and on this
day." `Abdullah added, "These two prayers are shifted from
their actual times −− the Maghrib prayer (is offered) when the
people reached Al−Muzdalifa and the Fajr (morning) prayer at
the early dawn." `Abdullah added, "I saw the Prophet doing
that."
2.736:
Narrated Salim:
`Abdullah bin `Umar used to send the weak among his family
early to Mina. So they used to depart from Al−Mash'ar Al−Haram
(that is Al−Muzdalifa) at night (when the moon had set) and
invoke Allah as much as they could, and then they would return
(to Mina) before the Imam had started from Al−Muzdalifa to
Mina. So some of them would reach Mina at the time of the Fajr
prayer and some of them would come later. When they reached
Mina they would throw pebbles on the Jamra (Jamrat−Al−`Aqaba)
Ibn `Umar used to say, "Allah's Apostle gave the permission to
them (weak people) to do so."
2.737:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas : Allah's Apostle had sent me from Jam'
(i.e. Al−Muzdalifa) at night.
2.738:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I as among those whom the Prophet sent on
the night of Al−Muzdalifa early being among the weak members
of his family.
2.739:
Narrated `Abdullah: (the slave of Asma') During the night of
Jam', Asma' got down at Al−Muzdalifa and stood up for
(offering) the prayer and offered the prayer for some time and
then asked, "O my son! Has the moon set?" I replied in the
negative and she again prayed for another period and then
asked, "Has the moon set?" I replied, "Yes." So she said that
we should set out (for Mina), and we departed and went on till
she threw pebbles at the Jamra (Jamrat−Al−`Aqaba) and then she
returned to her dwelling place and offered the morning prayer.
I asked her, "O you! I think we have come (to Mina) early in
the night." She replied, "O my son! Allah's Apostle gave
permission to the women to do so."
2.740:
Narrated `Aisha :
Sauda asked the permission of the Prophet to leave earlier at
the night of Jam', and she was a fat and very slow woman. The
Prophet gave her permission.
2.741:
Narrated `Aisha:
We got down at Al−Muzdalifa and Sauda asked the permission of
the Prophet to leave (early) before the rush of the people.
She was a slow woman and he gave her permission, so she
departed (from Al−Muzdalifa) before the rush of the people. We
kept on staying at Al−Muzdalifa till dawn, and set out with
the Prophet but (I suffered so much that) I wished I had taken
the permission of Allah's Apostle as Sauda had done, and that
would have been dearer to me than any other happiness.
2.742:
Narrated `Abdullah: I never saw the Prophet offering any
prayer not at its stated time except two; he prayed the
Maghrib and the `Isha' together and he offered the morning
prayer before its usual time.
2.743:
Narrated `Abdur−Rahman bin Yazid I went out with `Abdullah ,
to Mecca and when we proceeded to am' he offered the two
prayers (the Maghrib and the `Isha') together, making the
Adhan and Iqama separately for each prayer. He took his supper
in between the two prayers. He offered the Fajr prayer as soon
as the day dawned. Some people said, "The day had dawned (at
the time of the prayer)," and others said, "The day had not
dawned." `Abdullah then said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'These
two prayers have been shifted from their stated times at this
place only (at Al−Muzdalifa); first: The Maghrib and the
`Isha'. So the people should not arrive at Al−Muzdalifa till
the time of the `Isha' prayer has become due. The second
prayer is the morning prayer which is offered at this hour.' "
Then `Abdullah stayed there till it became a bit brighter. He
then said, "If the chief of the believers hastened onwards to
Mina just now, then he had indeed followed the Sunna." I do
not know which proceeded the other, his (`Abdullah's)
statement or the departure of `Uthman . `Abdullah was reciting
Talbiya till he threw pebbles at the Jamrat−Al−`Aqaba on the
Day of Nahr (slaughtering) (that is the 10th of Dhul−Hijja).
2.744:
Narrated `Amr bin Maimun: I saw `Umar, offering the Fajr
(morning) prayer at Jam'; then he got up and said, "The pagans
did not use to depart (from Jam') till the sun had risen, and
they used to say, 'Let the sun shine on Thabir (a mountain).'
But the Prophet contradicted them and departed from Jam'
before sunrise."
2.745:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet made Al−Faql ride behind him,
and Al−Fadl informed that he (the Prophet ) kept on reciting
Talbiya till he did the Rami of the Jamra. (Jamrat−Al−`Aqaba.)
2.746:
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah: Ibn `Abbas said, "Usama
bin Zaid rode behind the Prophet from `Arafat to Al−Muzdalifa;
and then from Al−Muzdalifa to Mina, Al−Fadl rode behind him."
He added, "Both of them (Usama and Al−Fadl) said, 'The Prophet
was constantly reciting Talbiya till he did Rami of the
Jamarat−Al−`Aqaba."
2.747:
Narrated Abu Jamra: I asked Ibn `Abbas about Hajj−at−Tamattu`.
He ordered me to perform it. I asked him about the Hadi
(sacrifice). He said, "You have to slaughter a camel, a cow or
a sheep, or you may share the Hadi with the others." It seemed
that some people disliked it (Hajj−at−Tamattu`). I slept and
dreamt as if a person was announcing: "Hajj Mabrur and
accepted Mut'ah (Hajj−at−Tamattu`)" I went to Ibn `Abbas and
narrated it to him. He said, "Allah is Greater. (That was) the
tradition of Abu Al−Qasim (i.e. Prophet). Narrated Shu`ba that
the call in the dream was. "An accepted `Umra and Hajj−Mabrur.
"
2.748:
Narrated Abu Huraira' : Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) saw a man
driving his Badana (sacrificial camel). He said, "Ride on it."
The man said, "It is a Badana." The Prophet said, "Ride on
it." He (the man) said, "It is a Badana." The Prophet said,
"Ride on it." And on the second or the third time he (the
Prophet ) added, "Woe to you."
2.749:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet saw a man driving a Badana. He said, "Ride on it."
The man replied, "It is a Badana." The Prophet said (again),
"Ride on it." He (the man) said, "It is a Badana." The Prophet
said thrice, "Ride on it."
2.750:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: During the last Hajj (Hajj−al−Wada`) of
Allah's Apostle he performed `Umra and Hajj. He drove a Hadi
along with him from Dhul−Hulaifa. Allah's Apostle started by
assuming Ihram for `Umra and Hajj. And the people, too,
performed the `Umra and Hajj along with the Prophet. Some of
them brought the Hadi and drove it along with them, while the
others did not. So, when the Prophet arrived at Mecca. he said
to the people, "Whoever among you has driven the Hadi, should
not finish his Ihram till he completes his Hajj. And whoever
among you has not (driven) the Hadi with him, should perform
Tawaf of the Ka`ba and the Tawaf between Safa and Marwa, then
cut short his hair and finish his Ihram, and should later
assume Ihram for Hajj; but he must offer a Hadi (sacrifice);
and if anyone cannot afford a Hadi, he should fast for three
days during the Hajj and seven days when he returns home. The
Prophet performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba on his arrival (at
Mecca); he touched the (Black Stone) corner first of all and
then did Ramal (fast walking with moving of the shoulders)
during the first three rounds round the Ka`ba, and during the
last four rounds he walked. After finishing Tawaf of the
Ka`ba, he offered a two rak`at prayer at Maqam Ibrahim, and
after finishing the prayer he went to Safa and Marwa and
performed seven rounds of Tawaf between them and did not do
any deed forbidden because of Ihram, till he finished all the
ceremonies of his Hajj and sacrificed his Hadi on the day of
Nahr (10th day of Dhul−Hijja). He then hastened onwards (to
Mecca) and performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and then everything
that was forbidden because of Ihram became permissible. Those
who took and drove the Hadi with them did the same as Allah's
Apostle did.
2.751:
Narrated Nafi`:
`Abdullah (bin `Abdullah) bin `Umar said to his father, "Stay
here, for I am afraid that it (affliction between Ibn Zubair
and Al−Hajjaj) might prevent you from reaching the Ka`ba." Ibn
`Umar said, "(In this case) I would do the same as Allah's
Apostle did, and Allah has said, 'Verily, in Allah's Apostle,
you have a good example (to follow).' So, I make you, people,
witness that I have made `Umra compulsory for me." So he
assumed lhram for `Umra. Then he went out and when he reached
Al−Baida', he assumed Ihram for Hajj and `Umra (together) and
said, "The conditions (requisites) of Hajj and `Umra are the
same." He, then brought a Hadi from Qudaid. Then he arrived
(at Mecca) and performed Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) once
for both Hajj and `Umra and did not finish the lhram till he
had finished both Hajj and `Umra.
2.752:
Narrated Al−Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan: The Prophet set
out from Medina with over one thousand of his companions (at
the time of the Treaty of Hudaibiya) and when they reached
Dhul−Hulaifa, the Prophet garlanded his Hadi and marked it and
assumed Ihram for `Umra.
2.753:
Narrated `Aisha:
I twisted with my own hands the garlands for the Budn of the
Prophet who garlanded and marked them, and then made them
proceed to Mecca; Yet no permissible thing was regarded as
illegal for him then.
2.754:
Narrated Hafsa:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is wrong with the people,
they have finished their Ihram but you have not?" He said, "I
matted my hair and I have garlanded my Hadi, so I will not
finish my Ihram till I finished my Hajj ."
2.755:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle used to send the Hadi from Medina and I used
to twist the garlands for his Hadi and he did not keep away
from any of these things which a Muhrim keeps away from.
2.756:

I twisted the garlands for the Hadis of the Prophet and then
he marked and garlanded them (or I garlanded them) and then
made them proceed to the Ka`ba but he remained in Medina and
no permissible thing was regarded as illegal for him then .
2.757:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abu Bakr bin `Amr bin Hazm: That `Amra
bint `Abdur−Rahman had told him, "Zaid bin Abu Sufyan wrote to
`Aisha that `Abdullah bin `Abbas had stated, 'Whoever sends
his Hadi (to the Ka`ba), all the things which are illegal for
a (pilgrim) become illegal for that person till he slaughters
it (i.e. till the 10th of Dhul−Hijja).' " `Amra added, `Aisha
said, 'It is not like what Ibn `Abbas had said: I twisted the
garlands of the Hadis of Allah's Apostle with my own hands.
Then Allah's Apostle put them round their necks with his own
hands, sending them with my father; Yet nothing permitted by
Allah was considered illegal for Allah's Apostle till he
slaughtered the Hadis.' "
2.758:
Narrated `Aisha:
Once the Prophet sent sheep as Hadi.

Narrated `Ikrima:

'Ride on it.' He replied, 'It is a Badana.' The Prophet again
said, 'Ride on it!' Abu Huraira added, 'Then I saw that man
riding it, showing obedience to the Prophet (p.b.u.h), and a
shoe was (hanging) from its neck.' "

Ibn `Umar intended to perform Hajj in the year of the Hajj of
Al−Harawriya during the rule of Ibn Az−Zubair. Some people
said to him, "It is very likely that there will be a fight
among the people, and we are afraid that they might prevent
you (from performing Hajj)." He replied, "Verily, in Allah's
Apostle there is a good example for you (to follow). In this
case I would do the same as he had done. I make you witness
that I have intended to perform `Umra." When he reached
Al−Baida', he said, "The conditions for both Hajj and `Umra
are the same. I make you witness that I have intended to
perform Hajj along with `Umra." After that he took a garlanded
Hadi (to Mecca) which he bought (on the way). When he reached
(Mecca), he performed Tawaf of the Ka`ba and of Safa (and
Marwa) and did not do more than that. He did not make legal
for himself the things which were illegal for a Muhrim till it
was the Day of Nahr (sacrifice), when he had his head shaved
and slaughtered (the sacrifice) and considered sufficient his
first Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa), as a (Sa`i) for his Hajj
and `Umra both. He then said, "The Prophet used to do like
that."
2.767:
Narrated `Amra bint `Abdur−Rahman: I heard `Aisha saying,
"Five days before the end of Dhul−Qa'da we set out from Medina
in the company of Allah's Apostle with the intention of
performing Hajj only. When we approached Mecca, Allah's
Apostle ordered those who had no Hadi with them to finish
their lhram after performing Tawaf of the Ka`ba and (Sa`i) and
between Safa and Marwa." `Aisha added, "On the day of Nahr
(slaughtering of sacrifice) beef was brought to us. I asked,

slaughtered (sacrifices) on behalf of his wives.' "

days of Mina. Later, the Prophet gave us permission by saying:

(some) with us.' " I asked `Ata', "Did Jabir say (that they

Narrated Abu Musa: I came upon Allah's Apostle when he was at
Al−Batha. He asked me, "Have you intended to perform the
Hajj?" I replied in the affirmative. He asked, "For what have
you assumed lhram?" I replied," I have assumed Ihram with the
same intention as that of the Prophet ." The Prophet said,
"You have done well! Go and perform Tawaf round the Ka`ba and
between Safa and Marwa." Then I went to one of the women of
Bani Qais and she took out lice from my head. Later, I assumed
the Ihram for Hajj. So, I used to give this verdict to the
people till the caliphate of `Umar. When I told him about it,
he said, "If we take (follow) the Holy Book, then it orders us
to complete Hajj and `Umra (Hajj−at−Tamattu`) and if we follow
the tradition of Allah's Apostle then Allah's Apostle did not
finish his lhram till the Hadi had reached its destination
(had been slaughtered). (i.e. Hajj−al−Qiran). (See Hadith No.

to those who have their head shaved." The people said, "O
Allah's Apostle! And those who get their hair cut short." The
Prophet said (the third time), "And to those who get their
hair cut short." Nafi` said that the Prophet had said once or
twice, "O Allah! Be merciful to those who get their head
shaved," and on the fourth time he added, "And to those who
have their hair cut short."

We performed Hajj with the Prophet and performed
Tawaf−al−ifada on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering). Safiya got
her menses and the Prophets desired from her what a husband
desires from his wife. I said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! She
is having her menses." He said, "Is she going to detain us?"

Day of Nahr. He said, "(Then you can) depart."
2.790:

slaughtering, shaving (of the head), and the doing of Rami
before or after the due times. He said, "There is no harm in
that."
2.791:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet was asked (as regards the
ceremonies of Hajj) at Mina on the Day of Nahr and he replied
that there was no harm. Then a man said to him, "I got my head
shaved before slaughtering." He replied, "Slaughter (now) and
there is no harm in it." (Another) man said, "I did the Rami
(of the Jimar) after midday." The Prophet replied, "There was
no harm in it."
2.792:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr : Allah's Apostle stopped (for a
while near the Jimar at Mina) during his last Hajj and the
people started asking him questions. A man said, "Ignorantly I
got my head shaved before slaughtering." The Prophet replied,
"Slaughter (now) and there is no harm in it." Another man
said, "Unknowingly I slaughtered the Hadi before doing the
Rami." The Prophet said, "Do Rami now and there is no harm in
it." So, on that day, when the Prophet was asked about
anything (about the ceremonies of Hajj) done before or after
(its stated time) his reply was, "Do it (now) and there is no
harm."
2.793:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al−`As: I witnessed the
Prophet when he was delivering the sermon on the Day of Nahr.
A man stood up and said, "I thought that such and such was to
be done before such and such. I got my hair shaved before
slaughtering." (Another said), "I slaughtered the Hadi before
doing the Rami." So, the people asked about many similar
things. The Prophet said, "Do it (now) and there is no harm in
all these cases." Whenever the Prophet was asked about
anything on that day, he replied, "Do it (now) and there is no
harm in it."
2.794:

stopped while on his she−camel (the sub−narrator then narrated

Ibn `Abbas said: "Allah's Apostle delivered a sermon on the
Day of Nahr, and said, 'O people! (Tell me) what is the day
today?' The people replied, 'It is the forbidden (sacred)
day.' He asked again, 'What town is this?' They replied, 'It
is the forbidden (Sacred) town.' He asked, 'Which month is
this?' They replied, 'It is the forbidden (Sacred) month.' He
said, 'No doubt! Your blood, your properties, and your honor
are sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of
yours, in this (sacred) town (Mecca) of yours, in this month
of yours.' The Prophet repeated his statement again and again.
After that he raised his head and said, 'O Allah! Haven't
conveyed (Your Message) to them'. Haven't I conveyed Your
Message to them?' " Ibn `Abbas added, "By Him in Whose Hand my
soul is, the following was his will (Prophet's will) to his
followers:−−It is incumbent upon those who are present to
convey this information to those who are absent Beware don't
renegade (as) disbelievers (turn into infidels) after me,
Striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another.' "

at `Arafat.
2.797:
Narrated Abu Bakra: The Prophet delivered to us a sermon on
the Day of Nahr. He said, "Do you know what is the day today?"
We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He remained
silent till we thought that he might give that day another
name. He said, "Isn't it the Day of Nahr?" We said, "It is."
He further asked, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and
His Apostle know better." He remained silent till we thought
that he might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it
the month of Dhul−Hijja?" We replied: "Yes! It is." He further
asked, "What town is this?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle
know it better." He remained silent till we thought that he
might give it another name. He then said, "Isn't it the
forbidden (Sacred) town (of Mecca)?" We said, "Yes. It is." He
said, "No doubt, your blood and your properties are sacred to
one another like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this
month of yours, in this town of yours, till the day you meet
your Lord. No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's message to
you? They said, "Yes." He said, "O Allah! Be witness. So it is
incumbent upon those who are present to convey it (this
information) to those who are absent because the informed one
might comprehend it (what I have said) better than the present
audience, who will convey it to him. Beware! Do not renegade
(as) disbelievers after me by striking the necks (cutting the
throats) of one another."
2.798:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: At Mina, the Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Do
you know what is the day today?" The people replied, "Allah
and His Apostle know it better." He said, "It is the forbidden
(sacred) day. And do you know what town is this?" They
replied, "Allah and His Apostle know it better." He said,
"This is the forbidden (Sacred) town (Mecca). And do you know
which month is this?" The people replied, "Allah and His
Apostle know it better." He said, "This is the forbidden
(sacred) month." The Prophet added, "No doubt, Allah made your
blood, your properties, and your honor sacred to one another
like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours
in this town of yours." Narrated Ibn `Umar: On the Day of Nahr
(10th of Dhul−Hijja), the Prophet stood in between the Jamrat
during his Hajj which he performed (as in the previous Hadith)
and said, "This is the greatest Day (i.e. 10th of
Dhul−Hijjah)." The Prophet started saying repeatedly, "O
Allah! Be Witness (I have conveyed Your Message)." He then
bade the people farewell. The people said, "This is
Hajjat−al−Wada`)."

12th of Dhul−Hijja)."

to Ibrahim, and he said, `Abdur−Rahman bin Yazid told me, 'I
was with Ibn Mas`ud, when he did the Rami of the
Jamrat−ul−Aqaba. He went down the middle of the valley, and
when he came near the tree (which was near the Jamra) he stood
opposite to it and threw seven small pebbles and said:
'Allahu−Akbar' on throwing every pebble.' Then he said, 'By
Him, except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, here (at
this place) stood the one on whom Surat−al−Baqra was revealed
(i.e. Allah's Apostle).' "

the Qibla for a long time to invoke (Allah) while raising his
hands (while invoking). Then he would do Rami of the
Jamrat−ul−Wusta (middle Jamra) and then he would go to the
left towards the middle ground, where he would stand facing
the Qibla. He would remain standing there for a long period to
invoke (Allah) while raising his hands, and would stand there
for a long period. Then he would do Rami of the

while raising his hands. Then he would do Rami of the
Jamrat−ul−Wusta similarly and would go to the left towards the
level ground, where he would stand for a long time facing the
Qibla to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands. Then he would
do Rami of the Jamrat−ul−Aqaba from the middle of the valley,
but he would not stay by it. Ibn `Umar used to say, "I saw
Allah's Apostle doing like that."
2.809:
Narrated `Abdur−Rahman bin Al−Qasim: I heard my father who was
the best man of his age, saying, "I heard `Aisha saying, 'I

spread her hands (while saying so.)"

2.813:
Narrated `Ikrima:
The people of Medina asked Ibn `Abbas about a woman who got
her menses after performing Tawaf−al−Ifada. He said, "She
could depart (from Mecca)." They said, "We will not act on
your verdict and ignore the verdict of Zaid." Ibn `Abbas said,
"When you reach Medina, inquire about it." So, when they
reached Medina they asked (about that). One of those whom they
asked was Um Sulaim. She told them the narration of Safiya
(812).
2.814:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: A menstruating woman was allowed to leave
Mecca if she had done Tawaf−al−Ifada. Tawus (a sub−narrator)
said from his father, "I heard Ibn `Umar saying that she would
not depart. Then later I heard him saying that the Prophet had
allowed them (menstruating women) to depart."
2.815:
Narrated `Aisha:
We set out with the Prophet with the intention of performing
Hajj only. The Prophet reached Mecca and performed Tawaf of
the Ka`ba and between Safa and Marwa and did not finish the
Ihram, because he had the Hadi with him. His companions and
his wives performed Tawaf (of the Ka`ba and between Safa and
Marwa), and those who had no Hadi with them finished their
Ihram. I got the menses and performed all the ceremonies of
Hajj. So, when the Night of Hasba (night of departure) came, I
said, "O Allah's Apostle! All your companions are returning
with Hajj and `Umra except me." He asked me, "Didn't you
perform Tawaf of the Ka`ba (Umra) when you reached Mecca?" I
said, "No." He said, "Go to Tan`im with your brother
`Abdur−Rahman, and assume Ihram for `Umra and I will wait for
you at such and such a place." So I went with `Abdur−Rahman to
Tan`im and assumed Ihram for `Umra. Then Safiya bint Huyay got
menses. The Prophet said, " 'Aqra Halqa! You will detain us!
Didn't you perform Tawaf−al−Ifada on the Day of Nahr
(slaughtering)?" She said, "Yes, I did." He said, "Then there
is no harm, depart." So I met the Prophet when he was
ascending the heights towards Mecca and I was descending, or
vice−versa.
2.816:
Narrated `Abdul−Aziz bin Rufai: I asked Anas bin Malik, "Tell
me something you have observed about the Prophet concerning
where he offered the Zuhr prayer on the Day of Tarwiya (8th
Dhul−Hijja)." Anas replied, "He offered it at Mina." I said,
"Where did he offer the `Asr prayer on the Day of Nafr (day of
departure from Mina)?" He replied, "At Al−Abtah," and added,
"You should do as your leaders do."
2.817:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet offered the Zuhr, `Asr,
Maghrib and `Isha' prayers and slept for a while at a place
called Al−Mahassab and then he rode towards the Ka`ba and

so that it might be easier for him to depart.

Ibn `Umar used to spend the night at Dhi−Tuwa in between the
two Thaniyas and then he would enter Mecca through the Thaniya
which is at the higher region of Mecca, and whenever he came
to Mecca for Hajj or `Umra, he never made his she camel kneel
down except near the gate of the Masjid (Sacred Mosque) and
then he would enter (it) and go to the Black (stone) Corner
and start from there circumambulating the Ka`ba seven times:
hastening in the first three rounds (Ramal) and walking in the
last four. On finishing, he would offer two rak`at prayer and
set out to perform Tawaf between Safa and Marwa before
returning to his dwelling place. On returning (to Medina) from
Hajj or `Umra, he used to make his camel kneel down at
Al−Batha which is at Dhul−Hulaifa, the place where the Prophet
used to make his camel kneel down.
2.821:
Narrated Khalid bin Al−Harith: 'Ubaidullah was asked about Al
Mahassab. 'Ubaidullah narrated: Nafi` said, 'Allah's Apostles,
`Umar and Ibn `Umar camped there." Nafi` added, "Ibn `Umar
used to offer the Zuhr and `Asr prayers at it (i.e.
Al−Mahassab)." I think he mentioned the Maghrib prayer also. I
said, "I don't doubt about `Isha' (i.e. he used to offer it
there also), and he used to sleep there for a while. He used
to say, 'The Prophet used to do the same.' "
2.822:
Narrated Ibn ' `Abbas : Dhul−Majaz and `Ukaz were the markets
of the people during the Pre−Islamic period of ignorance. When
the people embraced Islam, they disliked to do bargaining
there till the following Holy Verses were revealed:−− There is
no harm for you If you seek of the bounty Of your Lord (during
Hajj by trading, etc.) (2.198)
2.823:
Narrated ' Aisha:
Safiya got her menses on the night of Nafr (departure from
Hajj), and she said, "I see that I will detain you." The
Prophet said, "Aqra Halqa! Did she perform the Tawaf on the
Day of Nahr (slaughtering)?" Somebody replied in the
affirmative. He said, "Then depart." (Different narrators
mentioned that) `Aisha said, "We set out with Allah's Apostle
(from Medina) with the intention of performing Hajj only. When
we reached Mecca, he ordered us to finish the Ihram. When it
was the night of Nafr (departure), Safiya bint Huyay got her
menses. The Prophet said, "Halqa Aqra! I think that she will
detain you," and added, "Did you perform the Tawaf (Al−Ifada)
on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering)?" She replied, "Yes." He
said, "Then depart." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have not
(done the Umra)." He replied, "Perform `Umra from Tan`im." My
brother went with me and we came across the Prophet in the
last part of the night. He said, "Wait at such and such a
place."
