Hadith 328
عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو السُّلَمِيُّ وَحُجْرُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ الْكَلَاعِيُّ قَالَا: أَتَيْنَا الْعِرْبَاضَ بْنَ سَارِيَةَ (رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) وَهُوَ مِمَّنْ نَزَلَ فِيهِ: {وَلَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ إِذَا مَا أَتَوْكَ لِتَحْمِلَهُمْ قُلْتَ لَا أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ} فَسَلَّمْنَا وَقُلْنَا: أَتَيْنَاكَ زَائِرِينَ وَعَائِدِينَ وَمُقْتَبِسِينَ، فَقَالَ عِرْبَاضٌ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصُّبْحَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَوَعَظَنَا مَوْعِظَةً بَلِيغَةً ذَرَفَتْ مِنْهَا الْعُيُونُ وَوَجِلَتْ مِنْهَا الْقُلُوبُ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! كَأَنَّ هَذِهِ مَوْعِظَةُ مُوَدِّعٍ، فَمَاذَا تَعْهَدُ إِلَيْنَا؟ فَقَالَ: ((أُوصِيكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ حَبَشِيًّا، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَعِشْ مِنْكُمْ بَعْدِي فَسَيَرَى اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا، فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِسُنَّتِي وَسُنَّةِ الْخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِينَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ، فَتَمَسَّكُوا بِهَا وَعَضُّوا عَلَيْهَا بِالنَّوَاجِذِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَمُحْدَثَاتِ الْأُمُورِ، فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ))
Abdur Rahman bin Amr Salmi and Hajar bin Hajar Kalai (may Allah have mercy on them) say: We went to Sayyiduna Irbad bin Sariyah (may Allah be pleased with him), he was among those about whom this verse was revealed: «وَلَا عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا مَآ اَتَوْکَ لِتَحْمِلَہُمْ قُلْتَ لَآ اَجِدُ مَآ اَحْمِلُکُمْ عَلَیْہِ» (There is no blame upon those who come to you so that you may provide them with mounts, and you say, "I do not find anything to carry you upon.") (Surah Tawbah: 92) We greeted him and said: "We have come to visit you, to inquire about your health, and to benefit from your knowledge." Sayyiduna Irbad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Fajr prayer one day, then turned to us and gave us such an effective and eloquent sermon that eyes wept and hearts trembled. One of the people said: "O Messenger of Allah! This seems like a farewell sermon, so what do you advise us?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I advise you to fear Allah, and to listen and obey (your leaders), even if he is an Abyssinian slave. For indeed, whoever among you lives after me will see much disagreement, so adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs, hold onto it firmly, and beware of newly invented matters, for every innovation is a misguidance."
Hadith 329
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ بِنَحْوِهِ) وَفِيهِ قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَمَوْعِظَةُ مُوَدِّعٍ فَمَاذَا تَعْهَدُ إِلَيْنَا، قَالَ: ((قَدْ تَرَكْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْبَيْضَاءِ، لَيْلُهَا كَنَهَارِهَا لَا يَزِيغُ عَنْهَا بَعْدِي إِلَّا هَالِكٌ وَمَنْ يَعِشْ مِنْكُمْ (فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ وَفِيهِ) فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِمَا عَرَفْتُمْ مِنْ سُنَّتِي، (وَفِيهِ أَيْضًا) عَضُّوا عَلَيْهَا بِالنَّوَاجِذِ فَإِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُ كَالْجَمَلِ الْأَنِفِ حَيْثُمَا انْقَادَ انْقَادَ))
(Second chain) There is a similar narration, except that in it: We said, "O Messenger of Allah! This is a farewell sermon and advice, so what do you advise us?" He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, I am leaving you upon a clear Shari'ah, whose night is like its day. No one will go astray from it except the one who is doomed to perish." And whoever among you lives (he narrated the rest of the narration as in the previous hadith), so whatever of my Sunnah you recognize, hold firmly to it. (And in this it is also stated:) So adhere to it strictly, for the believer is like a bridled camel, wherever it is led, it follows obediently."
Hadith 330
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: ((مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي أُمَّةٍ قَبْلِي إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ حَوَارِيُّونَ وَأَصْحَابٌ يَأْخُذُونَ بِسُنَّتِهِ وَيَقْتَدُونَ بِأَمْرِهِ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا تَخَلَّفَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خُلَفٌ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا لَا يُؤْمَرُونَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Before me, whenever Allah Almighty sent any prophet to any community, there were disciples from among his community who acted upon his Sunnah and followed his commands. Then, after them, incompetent people succeeded them, who would say what they did not do, and would do what they were not commanded to do."
Hadith 331
عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ (رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) فِي سَفَرٍ فَمَرَّ بِمَكَانٍ فَحَادَ عَنْهُ، فَسُئِلَ لِمَ فَعَلْتَ؟ فَقَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ هَذَا فَفَعَلْتُ
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: We were on a journey with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), so when he passed by a certain place, he moved to one side of it. He was asked why he did so. He replied: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do the same, so I did it as well."
Hadith 332
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ (رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) يَقُولُ: حَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ أَشْيَاءَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((يُوشِكُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُكَذِّبَنِي وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ يُحَدِّثُ بِحَدِيثِي فَيَقُولُ: بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ، فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَلَالٍ اسْتَحْلَلْنَاهُ وَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَرَامٍ حَرَّمْنَاهُ، أَلَا! وَإِنَّ مَا حَرَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مِثْلُ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ))
It is narrated from Hasan bin Jabir (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared certain things forbidden on the day of Khaybar and then said: “It is near that one of you will belie me while reclining on his couch, and after my hadith is narrated, he will say: ‘The Book of Allah is sufficient between us and you. Whatever we find lawful in it, we will consider lawful, and whatever we find unlawful in it, we will consider unlawful.’ Beware! Indeed, whatever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has declared unlawful is like what Allah the Exalted has declared unlawful.”
Hadith 333
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَلَا! إِنِّي أُوتِيتُ الْكِتَابَ وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ، أَلَا! يُوشِكُ رَجُلٌ يَنْثَنِي شَبْعَانَ عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ يَقُولُ: عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْقُرْآنِ، فَمَا وَجَدْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ حَلَالٍ فَأَحِلُّوهُ، وَمَا وَجَدْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ حَرَامٍ فَحَرِّمُوهُ، أَلَا! لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ لَحْمُ الْحِمَارِ الْأَهْلِي وَلَا كُلُّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ، أَلَا! وَلَا لُقْطَةٌ مِنْ مَالِ مُعَاهَدٍ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْتَغْنِيَ صَاحِبُهَا، وَمَنْ نَزَلَ بِقَوْمٍ فَعَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَقْرُوهُمْ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْرُوهُمْ فَعَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يُعْقِبُوهُمْ بِمِثْلِ قِرَاهُمْ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Beware! I have been given the Qur’an and something like it along with it. Beware! Soon there will be a man, reclining on his couch, who will say: ‘Hold fast only to the Qur’an; whatever you find in it as lawful, consider it lawful, and whatever you find in it as unlawful, consider it unlawful.’ Beware! The domestic donkey and the predatory animal with fangs are not lawful for you, nor is the lost property of a dhimmi lawful for you, unless its owner has given up hope of it. And if people stay with a nation, it is incumbent upon that nation to host them. If they do not host them, it is permissible for the guests to take from their wealth an amount equivalent to their hospitality.”
Hadith 334
عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((لَأَعْرِفَنَّ مَا يَبْلُغُ أَحَدَكُمْ مِنْ حَدِيثِي شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ: مَا أَجِدُ هَذَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I certainly, certainly know that a time will come when a narration from me will reach one of you while he is reclining on his couch, and he will say: ‘I do not find this command in the Book of Allah.’”
Hadith 335
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَأَعْرِفَنَّ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ أَتَاهُ عَنِّي حَدِيثٌ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ فِي أَرِيكَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ: اتْلُوا عَلَيَّ بِهِ قُرْآنًا، مَا جَاءَكُمْ عَنِّي مِنْ خَيْرٍ قُلْتُهُ أَوْ لَمْ أَقُلْهُ فَأَنَا أَقُولُهُ وَمَا أَتَاكُمْ مِنْ شَرٍّ فَأَنَا لَا أَقُولُ الشَّرَّ))
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I know among you a person to whom my hadith will reach, while he will be reclining on his couch, and he will say: 'Recite to me (only) the Qur'an; whatever good thing reaches you from me, whether I have said it or not, then I have said it; and if any evil thing reaches you, then I am not the one who says evil.'"
