Those Named Ibrahim

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Soon after me, men will take charge of your affairs who will acquaint you (as right) with things you know to be wrong (according to the Shari'ah), and will declare wrong for you the things you know to be right. So there is no obedience (due) to whoever disobeys Allah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have given my daughter in marriage, and I would like you to help me with something." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have nothing (to give), but tomorrow come to me with a wide-mouthed bottle and a twig from a tree; and the sign between me and you is that I will close one side of the door." The narrator said: Then the man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) with a wide-mouthed bottle and a wooden twig, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) began wiping the blessed sweat from both his forearms and collecting it in that bottle until it was full. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take it, and tell your daughter that when she wishes to apply perfume, she should dip this twig into the bottle and perfume herself with it." The narrator said: So whenever that girl applied perfume, all the people of Madinah would smell the fragrance of that perfume, and because of this her household came to be called "Bayt al-Mutayyabin" (the household of the perfumed).

Sayyiduna Hanzalah bin Hidhyam (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: I came with my grandfather Sayyiduna Hidhyam (may Allah be pleased with him) to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have several sons, some bearded (grown men) and some otherwise, and this one (Hanzalah) is the youngest of them." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) drew me close to him, passed his blessed hand over my head and said: 'Barak Allahu fik' (May Allah bless you). Al-Dhayyal (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw that a man whose face was swollen, or a goat whose udder was swollen, would be brought to Sayyiduna Hanzalah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he would place his hand on the spot that the palm of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had touched and say 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah), then wipe over it, and the swelling would go away.

He said: "Yes." Then he called for water for ablution, and a basin and a carved cup were brought. (The narrator) says: as if it had been carved in its own land (that is, in its original place). Then it was placed before him. He poured water over his hands and washed both his palms thoroughly, then rinsed his mouth three times, put water into his nose three times and washed his face three times. Then he brought out his right hand and washed it three times, then washed the left three times. Then he wiped his head once, except that he also passed his hands over both his ears and wiped them. Then he put both his palms into the water together, and after that (the narrator) mentioned the (rest of the) hadith.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two men were crossing a desert: one was a worshipper and the other was a sinner. The worshipper became so thirsty that he collapsed from exhaustion. His companion began looking at him, and he had with him a vessel for ablution in which there was a little water. Seeing him lying there, he began to say (to himself): 'By Allah! If this righteous servant dies of thirst while I have water with me, I will never receive any good from Allah; and if I give him my water to drink, I myself will die.' So he put his trust in Allah and made up his mind; he sprinkled some of the water on him and gave him the rest to drink, whereupon he stood up and the two of them crossed the desert. Then on the Day of Resurrection that sinful man will be made to stand for the reckoning, and he will be ordered to the Fire, and the angels will drive him along. Then he will see the worshipper and call out: 'O so-and-so! Do you not recognise me?' He will say: 'Who are you?' He will say: 'I am that so-and-so who preferred you over myself on the day in the desert.' He will say: 'Yes, I recognise you.' Then the worshipper will say to the angels: 'Stop!' So they will stop, and he will come and supplicate to his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, saying: 'O my Lord! You know the favour he did me, and how he preferred me over himself; O Lord, grant him to me.' Allah Almighty will say: 'He is yours.' Then he will come, take his brother by the hand and admit him into Paradise."
Ja'far bin Sulayman (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Abu Zilal (may Allah have mercy on him): "Did Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate this hadith to you from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said: "Yes."

So I began searching for them in the mosque one by one and waking them, then we came to the door of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and went in. A bowl of prepared food was placed before us, about the amount of two mudds of barley, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: "Eat with the name of Allah." And when the bowl was placed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! The family of Muhammad has nothing (to eat) other than what you see." So we ate until we were full, and some of it was even left over, while we numbered between seventy and eighty. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: "When you had finished eating, what state was it in?" He said: "It was just as it had been when it was (first) placed, except that there were the marks of fingers in it."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ishaq bin Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) except Unays bin Abi Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him)."

When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him, he raised his blessed head and then said: "Come close to me, come close to me." So he supported him (peace and blessings be upon him) against himself, and remained with him (peace and blessings be upon him) continuously until he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away. When his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed soul was taken, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and closed the door, and Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came with Banu Abd al-Muttalib, and they all stood at the door. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) began to say: "You (peace and blessings be upon him) were pure in life and you are pure after death." And such a fragrant scent spread from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that none of them had ever found the like of it. Then (someone) said: "Enough! Give up wailing like women and turn to (the preparation of) your companion." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Send Sayyiduna al-Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) in to me." At this the Ansar said: "We adjure you by Allah regarding our share in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So they called in a man from among the Ansar who was called Sayyiduna Aws bin Khawli (may Allah be pleased with him); he was carrying a water jar in one of his hands. Then they heard a voice from inside the house: "Do not remove the clothing of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); wash him just as he is, in his shirt." So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) washed him (peace and blessings be upon him); he would put his hand under the shirt, while Sayyiduna al-Fadl (may Allah be pleased with him) held the cloth (lifted) away from him (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Ansari Companion was bringing the water; and on Sayyiduna Ali's (may Allah be pleased with him) hand there was a piece of cloth, and he would put his hand under the shirt.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The Arabs (by moving the months forward and back) would make (Hajj fall in) one month one year and in two months another year, and (because of this shuffling) their Hajj would come (at its proper time) only once every twenty-six years. This is the Nasi' (postponement) that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, mentioned in His Book. Then in the year in which Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in Hajj, that Hajj coincided with (its proper) time, so Allah Almighty named it 'the Greater Hajj'. Then the following year the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj, and the people received the new moon (of Dhu al-Hijjah); on that occasion the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Indeed, time has come round to its original form, as it was on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth.'"

He (peace and blessings be upon him) went along one of the roads of Madinah and passed by the courtyard of some people where a dead young goat (a kid) had been thrown. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood by it and looked at it, then turned to his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and asked: "Do you see how worthless this kid has become in the eyes of its owners, that they have thrown it (out)?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)!" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! This world is even more contemptible to Allah Almighty than this kid is to its owners, that they have thrown it out like this."

It is narrated from Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) performed Hajj in the year 16 AH, the "Year of al-Ramadah" (the year of famine). When he was between al-Suqya and al-Arj in the depth of the night, a rider appeared before him on the road and called out: "O people of the caravan! Is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) among you?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Woe to you, are you in your right mind?" He said: "It is my mind that has driven me to you. Has the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away?" The people said: "Yes, he (peace and blessings be upon him) has passed away." So the man began to weep, and the people wept too. Then he asked: "Who took charge of the affair (the caliphate) after him (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The people told him: "Ibn Abi Quhafah (Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him)." He said: "The upright man of Banu Taym?" They said: "Yes." He asked: "Is he among you?" They said: "He too has passed away." So he supplicated, and the people supplicated too. Then he asked: "Who became the ruler after him?" It was said: "Umar bin al-Khattab (Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him)." He said: "The ruddy-complexioned man of Banu Adi?" They said: "Yes, and he is the one speaking to you." He said: "Then why did you pass over the fair-skinned man of Banu Umayyah (Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him) or the broad-browed man of Banu Hashim (Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him)?" They said: "That (decision) has already been made; now tell us your need." He said: "I met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I am Abu Aqil al-Ju'ayli. At Radhat Ju'ayl I accepted Islam, gave the pledge of allegiance, and drank a draught of sawiq (barley gruel) with him (peace and blessings be upon him); he (peace and blessings be upon him) drank the first part of it and gave me the last part to drink. By Allah! From then until this very day, whenever I am hungry I feel the fullness of it, whenever I am thirsty I find its coolness, and whenever I am parched I am quenched by it. Then I took my wife and my daughters and went to live on the top of this white mountain. There I pray five prayers every day and night, fast one month in the year, and offer sacrifice in the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah; this is what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me. Then this year came, and by Allah! we had nothing left but one goat, which a wolf attacked last night; it ate part of it and we ate part of it. So help, help!" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Help has come to you; join us in the morning at the water." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went on until he reached the water, and he stopped there and waited for him, even delaying the departure for his sake, but he did not come. So he called the keeper of the water and said: "Abu Aqil al-Ju'ayli has with him his three daughters and his wife. When he comes to you, spend on him and on his family until I pass by you on my return, if Allah wills." When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had completed his Hajj and returned, he called the keeper of the water and asked: "What happened to Abu Aqil?" He said: "He came to me the day after you spoke to me, and he had a fever. He remained ill with me for a few nights and then died, and that is his grave there." On hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) turned to his companions and said: "Allah Almighty was not pleased that he should be afflicted by your trials." Then he stood among the people and led his funeral prayer, and he took his daughters and his wife under his care and bore their expenses.

So whoever wants the middle and best part of Paradise, let him hold fast to the Jama'ah (of truth), for Satan is with the one (who is alone), and he is farther from two. Beware! Let no man ever be alone with a woman, for the third of them is Satan. Take heed! Whoever is pleased by his good deed and grieved by his bad deed, he is a believer.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him), and Abd al-Hamid (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man from the Haruriyyah (the Khawarij) came and said: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman! I truly wished that you had died along with your companions and not remained behind after them; you have turned to Hajj and Umrah and abandoned jihad?" He answered the Haruri: "May your mother be bereaved of you! If I have lived on after them for fifty years (separated from them), then surely I was created only for grief and regret." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Islam is built upon five pillars: that Allah alone is worshipped, establishing the prayer, giving zakah, Hajj to the House of Allah, and fasting in Ramadan." A man from the notables of the people of Syria who was sitting with him asked: "Do you command the worship of Allah (its affirmation)?" He said: "Yes." Then that man (counting the pillars) placed the fasting before the Hajj, and he said: "No, I will put it only at the end of them (the five); this is how I heard it from the blessed mouth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Sa'd and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) mentioned wiping over the leather socks (khuffs) in the presence of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Sa'd is more learned in fiqh than you." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "O Sa'd! We do not deny that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wiped (over them), but did he (peace and blessings be upon him) wipe after Surah al-Ma'idah was revealed?" The narrator says: then no one said anything, because this surah had made everything definitive, and it was the last surah of the Qur'an to be revealed, except for Bara'ah.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one other than Ubayd narrated these two hadiths from Mu'tamir."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever says 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah) has entered Paradise." At this Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Even if he has committed adultery and even if he has stolen?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if he has committed adultery and even if he has stolen, even if Abu al-Darda's nose be rubbed in the dust."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Raja' bin Haywah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Muhammad bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one narrated it from Muhammad bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abdullah bin Aradah (may Allah have mercy on him)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Iyad bin Himar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon and said in it: "Indeed, my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, has commanded me to teach you what you do not know of that which Allah has taught me on this day of mine: (Allah says:) 'Every wealth that I have granted My servant is lawful. I created all My servants upright (upon the pure religion, hanif); then the devils came to them and led them away from their religion, forbade them what I had made lawful for them, and commanded them to associate with Me that for which I have sent down no authority.'"
"And Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, looked at the people of the earth and was angry with them, both non-Arabs and Arabs, except for some remnants of the People of the Book. And Allah said: 'I have sent you only to test you and to test (others) through you, and I have sent down upon you a Book that water cannot wash away (it will never be erased); you recite it asleep and awake (in every state).' And Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, commanded me to go to Quraysh (with the call), and I said: 'O my Lord! Then they will crush my head and leave it (broken in pieces) like bread.' And Allah said: 'Drive them out as they drove you out; fight them and We will help you; spend and We will spend on you; and send an army and I will send five times as many angels.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated it from Khalid al-Hadhdha' (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one from Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) except al-Muqaddami (may Allah have mercy on him)."
