Hadith 251
عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ الْمُجَاشِعِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي خُطْبَةٍ خَطَبَهَا: ((إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكُمْ مَا جَهِلْتُمْ مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِي يَوْمِي هَذَا، وَأَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا نَحَلْتُهُ عِبَادِي فَهُوَ لَهُمْ حَلَالٌ))
Sayyiduna Iyad bin Himar Mujashi’i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said in a sermon: “Indeed, Allah Almighty has commanded me to teach you those matters of which you are ignorant, from among the matters which He has taught me today. And He has also said that every thing which I have bestowed upon My servants is lawful for them.”

(وَعَنْهُ بِلَفْظٍ آخَرَ) عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((عَلِّمُوا وَيَسِّرُوا وَلَا تُعَسِّرُوا، وَإِذَا غَضِبْتَ فَاسْكُتْ وَإِذَا غَضِبْتَ فَاسْكُتْ وَإِذَا غَضِبْتَ فَاسْكُتْ))

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: "Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) left us in such a state that even if a bird moved its wings (to fly), we would gain some knowledge from it."
Hadith 256
عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى حَضَرَتِ الظُّهْرَ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى حَضَرَ الْعَصْرَ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَحَدَّثَنَا بِمَا كَانَ وَمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ، فَأَعْلَمَنَا أَحْفَظُنَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Zaid Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Fajr prayer and then ascended the pulpit and continued to address us until the time of the Zuhr prayer. Then he descended and led the Zuhr prayer, after which he again ascended the pulpit and began to address us until the time of the Asr prayer arrived. He descended, led the Asr prayer, and then again ascended the pulpit and continued the address until sunset. Thus, whatever had happened and whatever was to happen, he (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of all of it. So, the most knowledgeable among us was the one who remembered the most.
Hadith 257
عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الْكَاتِبِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَّرَنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأَيْنَا الْعَيْنَ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَضَحِكْتُ وَلَعِبْتُ مَعَ أَهْلِي وَوَلَدِي فَذَكَرْتُ مَا كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ (رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ! نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ، قَالَ: وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قُلْتُ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَّرَنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأَيْنَا عَيْنًا، فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي فَضَحِكْتُ وَلَعِبْتُ مَعَ وَلَدِي وَأَهْلِي، فَقَالَ: إِنَّا لَنَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: ((يَا حَنْظَلَةُ! لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ كَمَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِي لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا) وَأَنْتُمْ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ وَبِالطَّرِيقِ، يَا حَنْظَلَةُ! سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً))
Sayyiduna Hanzalah the scribe (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he addressed us on the subject of Paradise and Hell, so much so that it seemed as if they were before our very eyes. Then I got up and went to my family and spent time laughing and playing with my wife and children. Then I remembered that state which had overcome me in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so I set out and met Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Abu Bakr! Hanzalah has become a hypocrite." He said: "How is that?" I said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he preached to us about Paradise and Hell until it seemed as if they were before our eyes, but when I went to my family, I became busy laughing and playing with my wife and children (forgetting that state)." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed, we do the same." Hearing this, I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the whole matter to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hanzalah! If your state in your homes were the same as it is with me, the angels would shake hands with you on your beds and in your streets with their wings. But, O Hanzalah! Sometimes like this, and sometimes like that."
Hadith 258
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّا إِذَا كُنَّا عِنْدَكَ فَحَدَّثْتَنَا رَقَّتْ قُلُوبُنَا، فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ عَافَسْنَا النِّسَاءَ وَالصِّبْيَانَ وَفَعَلْنَا وَفَعَلْنَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ لَوْ تَدُومُونَ عَلَيْهَا لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the noble Companions said to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, when we are with you and you speak to us, our hearts become tender, but when we leave your presence, we become occupied with the work of our wives and children and do such things (and the state we had with you disappears)." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If you were to remain in the state you are in when you are with me, then the angels would shake hands with you."
