Chapter on What Has Been Narrated Regarding Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him
Hadith 11925
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَأَى رُؤْيَا أَنَّهُ يَكْتُبُ ص فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ إِلَى سَجْدَتِهَا قَالَ رَأَى الدَّوَاةَ وَالْقَلَمَ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِحَضْرَتِهِ انْقَلَبَ سَاجِدًا قَالَ فَقَصَّهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَسْجُدُ بِهَا بَعْدُ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) saw in a dream that he was writing Surah Sad. When he reached the verse of prostration, he saw that the inkwell, pen, and everything near him had fallen into the state of prostration. Then, when he related this dream to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to perform prostration in it.
Hadith 11926
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ ثَلَاثِينَ رَاكِبًا قَالَ فَنَزَلْنَا بِقَوْمٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُمْ أَنْ يُضَيِّفُونَا فَأَبَوْا قَالَ فَلُدِغَ سَيِّدُهُمْ قَالَ فَأَتَوْنَا فَقَالُوا فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ يَرْقِي مِنَ الْعَقْرَبِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَنَا وَلَكِنْ لَا أَفْعَلُ حَتَّى تُعْطُونَا شَيْئًا قَالُوا فَإِنَّا نُعْطِيكُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ شَاةً قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ فَبَرَأَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ يَقْرَأُ أُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ وَيَجْمَعُ بُزَاقَهُ وَيَتْفُلُ فَبَرَأَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَتَوْهُمْ بِالشَّاءِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَبَضْنَا الْغَنَمَ قَالَ عَرَضَ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا مِنْهَا قَالَ فَكَفَفْنَا حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابِي لَمْ يَعْهَدْ إِلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا بِشَيْءٍ لَا نَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا حَتَّى نَأْتِيَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ”أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ اقْسِمُوهَا وَاضْرِبُوا لِي مَعَكُمْ بِسَهْمٍ“ وَفِي لَفْظٍ فَقَالَ ”كُلْ وَأَطْعِمْنَا مَعَكَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ أَنَّهَا رُقْيَةٌ“ قَالَ قُلْتُ أُلْقِيَ فِي رَوْعِي
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sent us, thirty mounted fighters, in a military expedition. We stopped by a tribe of the Arabs and asked them for our right of hospitality, but they refused. It so happened that one of their chiefs was bitten by something poisonous. They came to us and said, "Is there anyone among you who can perform ruqyah (healing incantation) for a bite?" Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said, "Yes, I can do it, but I will not perform ruqyah until you give us something." They said, "We will give you thirty sheep." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I began reciting Surah Al-Fatihah over him, recited it seven times, collected my saliva and then spat on him. Thus, he was cured and they gave us thirty sheep. When we took possession of the sheep, we began to doubt (whether they were lawful for us or not). So we refrained from making any use of them until we could ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) about them. When we came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and informed him of this, he said: "How did you know that it is a ruqyah? Distribute them and set aside my share as well." In another narration it is stated: "You eat yourself and let us eat with you. How did you know that it is a ruqyah?" I said: "It was simply inspired into my heart."
Hadith 11927
عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ نَزَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَضَمَّنِي وَإِيَّاهُ الْمَجْلِسُ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَ أَنَّهُ أَصْبَحَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَقَدْ عَصَبَ عَلَى بَطْنِهِ حَجَرًا مِنَ الْجُوعِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ أَوْ أُمُّهُ ائْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْأَلْهُ فَقَدْ أَتَاهُ فُلَانٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ وَأَتَاهُ فُلَانٌ فَسَأَلَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ حَتَّى أَلْتَمِسَ شَيْئًا قَالَ فَالْتَمَسْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ شَيْئًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ”مَنِ اسْتَعَفَّ يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَغْنَى يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَنَا إِمَّا أَنْ نَبْذُلَ لَهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ نُوَاسِيَهُ وَمَنْ يَسْتَعِفَّ عَنَّا أَوْ يَسْتَغْنِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِمَّنْ يَسْأَلُنَا“ قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ فَمَا سَأَلْتُهُ شَيْئًا فَمَا زَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَرْزُقُنَا حَتَّى مَا أَعْلَمُ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ أَكْثَرَ أَمْوَالًا مِنَّا
Hilal bin Husain says: I stayed with Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him). We gathered in a gathering, and Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that once he woke up in the morning in such a state that, due to the severity of hunger, he had tied a stone to his stomach. His wife or mother said to him: Go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him for something and bring it. When so-and-so went and asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he gave him, and similarly, so-and-so also went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked, and he also gave him. I (Abu Sa'id) replied: I will first try to obtain something (by some other means), then I did so, but I did not get anything from anywhere. Eventually, I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), at that time he was delivering a sermon. At that time, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: Whoever refrains from asking, Allah Almighty will save him, and whoever adopts self-sufficiency, Allah Almighty will make him self-sufficient, and whoever asks us for something, we will give him something. However, whoever refrains from asking us and adopts self-sufficiency, he will be more beloved to us than the one who asks. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) says: After hearing this hadith, I returned and did not ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything, but Allah Almighty gave us so much sustenance that I do not know of any household among the Ansar who is wealthier than us.
Hadith 11928
عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَرَّحَتْنِي أُمِّي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْأَلُهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقَعَدْتُ قَالَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي فَقَالَ ”مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى أَغْنَاهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَعَفَّ أَعَفَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَكْفَى كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ قِيمَةُ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَقَدْ أَلْحَفَ“ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَاقَتِي الْيَاقُوتَةُ مَعِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَرَجَعْتُ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: My mother sent me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) so that I might ask him for something. When I reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and sat there, he turned towards me and said: Whoever desires to be self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient; whoever seeks to remain chaste (by refraining from asking people), Allah will make him chaste; whoever seeks sufficiency from Allah, Allah will suffice him. And if a person who owns the value of one uqiyah asks (for charity), he will be insistent in his asking (which is not his right). Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I thought that my Yaquatah she-camel is better than one uqiyah, so I returned and did not ask.
Hadith 11929
عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَرَّ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ أَرَدْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنْ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ وَعَنْ أَشْيَاءَ مِنَ الْأَشْرِبَةِ وَعَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ وَقَدْ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ مُحَدِّثٌ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ”إِنِّي نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ أَكْلِ لُحُومِ الْأَضَاحِيِّ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ فَكُلُوا وَادَّخِرُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِالسَّعَةِ وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ مِنَ الْأَشْرِبَةِ أَوِ الْأَنْبِذَةِ فَاشْرَبُوا وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ وَنَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَإِنْ زُرْتُمُوهَا فَلَا تَقُولُوا هُجْرًا“
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Amr bin Thabit that my father told me that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by him and said: Abu Abdur Rahman! Where are you going? He replied: I want to go to Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him). I went along with him. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Abu Saeed! I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbidding the meat of sacrifice, certain specific drinks, and visiting graves, and I have been informed that you narrate something from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this. Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: I had forbidden you from eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, but now you may eat and store it as long as you wish, for Allah has granted abundance. And I had forbidden you from certain vessels for drinks (i.e., nabidh). Now you may prepare and drink in those vessels as well, (just remember that) every intoxicant is unlawful. And I had forbidden you from visiting graveyards, but now if you visit the graveyards, do not say anything contrary to the Shariah.
Hadith 11930
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ فِي حَلْقَةٍ مِنْ حَلَقِ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَاءَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَأَنَّهُ مَذْعُورٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عُمَرَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي فَرَجَعْتُ وَقَدْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”مَنِ اسْتَأْذَنَ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ فَلْيَرْجِعْ“ فَقَالَ لَتَجِيئَنَّ بِبَيِّنَةٍ عَلَى الَّذِي تَقُولُ وَإِلَّا أَوْجَعْتُكَ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَأَتَانَا أَبُو مُوسَى مَذْعُورًا أَوْ قَالَ فَزِعًا فَقَالَ أَسْتَشْهِدُكُمْ فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَا يَقُومُ مَعَكَ إِلَّا أَصْغَرُ الْقَوْمِ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَكُنْتُ أَصْغَرَهُمْ فَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ وَشَهِدْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”مَنِ اسْتَأْذَنَ ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لَهُ فَلْيَرْجِعْ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: I was sitting in a gathering of the Ansar when Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us, and he seemed somewhat frightened. He said, "In fact, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had called me to him, so I went to him and sought permission three times, but when I was not granted permission, I turned back, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever seeks permission three times from someone and is not granted permission, let him return.' When I informed Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) of this hadith, he said: 'Bring proof of this, otherwise I will punish you.' So I have come to seek testimony." Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The youngest among us will stand with you for this." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I was the youngest, so I stood up and testified that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever seeks permission three times and is not granted permission, let him return.'"
Hadith 11931
عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَخْرَجَ مَرْوَانُ الْمِنْبَرَ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُخْرَجُ بِهِ وَبَدَأَ بِالْخُطْبَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُبْدَأُ بِهَا قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا مَرْوَانُ خَالَفْتَ السُّنَّةَ أَخْرَجْتَ الْمِنْبَرَ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ وَلَمْ يَكُ يُخْرَجُ بِهِ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدٍ وَبَدَأْتَ بِالْخُطْبَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ وَلَمْ يَكُ يُبْدَأُ بِهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ قَضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَإِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَهُ بِيَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ بِيَدِهِ فَبِلِسَانِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ بِلِسَانِهِ فَبِقَلْبِهِ وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الْإِيمَانِ“
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Marwan had a pulpit placed on the day of Eid (in the Eidgah), whereas it had never been brought out before, and he began with the sermon before the prayer, whereas previously the prayer was begun first. A man stood up and said: "Marwan! You have opposed the Sunnah. Today, on the day of Eid, you have brought out the pulpit, whereas it was not brought out before, and you have started with the sermon before the prayer, whereas the sermon was not begun first." Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Who is this man?" The people said: "So-and-so, son of so-and-so." Then he said: "This person has fulfilled his responsibility. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart—and that is the weakest level of faith.'"
Hadith 11932
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مَخَافَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُولَ بِالْحَقِّ إِذَا شَهِدَهُ أَوْ عَلِمَهُ“ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَحَمَلَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَنِّي رَكِبْتُ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَمَلَأْتُ أُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: None of you should let the fear of people prevent him from speaking the truth when he is present at the occasion or knows the truth. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) says: This hadith encouraged me, so I mounted my ride and went to Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), narrated many ahadith to him, and then returned.
