He said: 'Who created the heaven?' He said: 'Allah.' He said: 'Who created the earth?' He said: 'Allah.' He said: 'Then who created Allah?' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said twice: 'Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)!' and held his forehead. The man got up and left. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Bring that man to me.' We searched for him, but it was as if he had never been there.

As soon as it was morning he would carry them and bring them to the mosque, and he would earn for them all day long; then when evening came he would carry them and take them back. One day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) missed him and asked about him. The people said: 'The son of those two has died.'

He (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed two rak'ahs and then gave the salam. The hasty people went out (of the mosque) saying: 'O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened?' Among those present were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), but out of awe of him they hesitated to speak to him. Then a man from among the Muslims said: 'O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened, or have you forgotten?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The prayer has not been shortened, and I have not forgotten.' The man said: 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you! You have forgotten; you prayed only two rak'ahs.' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked (the people): 'Is what Dhul-Yadayn says true?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, he has spoken the truth.'

Then Allah Almighty inspired him with this supplication: 'Allahumma innaka ta'lamu sariirati wa 'alaniyati faqbal ma'dhirati, wa ta'lamu hajati fa'atini su'li, wa ta'lamu ma fi nafsi faghfir li dhanbi. Allahumma inni as'aluka imanan yubashiru qalbi, wa yaqinan sadiqan hatta a'lama annahu la yusibuni illa ma katabta li, wa ridan bima qasamta li' (O Allah, You know what is hidden in me and what is apparent, so accept my excuse; You know my need, so grant me what I ask; and You know what is within me, so forgive my sin. O Allah, I ask You for faith that permeates my heart, and true certainty, so that I know that nothing will befall me except what You have written for me, and contentment with what You have allotted me). Then Allah Almighty revealed to him: 'O Adam, I have accepted your repentance and forgiven your sin. Whoever supplicates to Me with this supplication, I will forgive his sin, suffice him in his important affairs, drive Satan away from him, trade for him behind every trader (that is, give him more profit than the trade of every trader), and the world will come to him humbled, even if he does not desire it.'"

Then the wronged will keep taking their due from the wrongdoers until they have seized all the good deeds in their hands.

Suddenly he came upon an old woman who had not fully covered her body. He said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is about to come upon you (that is, he has drawn near to you)." She turned away. He said this to her three times, and each time she turned away. (Finally) she said: "If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is about to come upon me, then what do you order me to do?"

My mother took me to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, all the men and women of the Ansar have presented gifts to you, except me. I have nothing to present to you except this son of mine, so accept him from me; he will serve you for as long as you see fit." So I served the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for ten years, and during that time he (peace and blessings be upon him) never struck me, never reviled me, and never frowned at me.
The very first advice he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me was: "My son, keep my secret, and you will be a believer." So I never told anyone his (peace and blessings be upon him) secret; even when my mother and the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me, I did not tell them his (peace and blessings be upon him) secret, and I will never tell anyone.
Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My son, perform ablution thoroughly; your life will be lengthened, and your two guardian angels will love you." Then he said: "My son, if you are able always to sleep only in a state of ablution, then do so, for whoever is overtaken by death while in a state of ablution is granted the rank of martyrdom."
Then he said: "My son, if you are able to keep praying constantly, then do so, for the angels keep praying for mercy for you as long as you are praying." Then he said: "My son, beware of looking around in prayer, for looking around in prayer is ruin; and if it cannot be avoided, then let it be in voluntary prayer, not in obligatory prayer."
Then he said to me: "My son, when you bow, place your palms on your knees, spread your fingers apart, and keep your arms away from your sides. Then when you raise your head from bowing, let every limb settle in its place, for Allah Almighty will not look (with mercy) on the Day of Resurrection at the one who does not straighten his back." Then he said to me: "My son, when you prostrate, do not peck like a rooster pecks, do not squat (iq'a') like a dog squats, and do not spread your forearms on the ground like a beast of prey. Lay the tops of your feet on the ground and place your buttocks on your heels, for that will be easier for you in your reckoning on the Day of Resurrection."
Then he said to me: "My son, be thorough in the ritual bath (ghusl) from major impurity (janabah); you will come out of your bathing place with no sin and no fault upon you." I said: "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you! What is meant by thoroughness in the ritual bath?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "To wet the roots of the hair and to cleanse the skin well."
Then he said to me: "My son, if you are able to offer some of your prayer in your house, then do so, for it will increase the good of your house." Then he said to me: "My son, when you enter upon your family, give the greeting of salam; it will be a blessing for you and for the people of your house." Then he said to me: "My son, when you leave your family, let your eye fall on no one of the people of the qiblah without your greeting him with salam; you will return with your good deeds increased."
Then he said: "My son, if you are able to spend your evenings and mornings with no ill will in your heart towards anyone, then do so." Then he said to me: "O Anas, when you leave your family, let your eye fall on no one of the people of the qiblah without your considering him better than yourself; if you are able, then do so."
Then he said to me: "My son, all of this is part of my Sunnah. Whoever revives my Sunnah has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise."
Then he said to me: "My son, if you preserve this advice of mine, nothing will be dearer to you than death."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith in this full detail from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib except Ali bin Zayd, and no one narrated it from Ali bin Zayd except Abdullah bin al-Muthanna. Muslim bin Hatim is alone in narrating it from al-Ansari, from his father, and Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Abi Yazid is alone in narrating it from Abbad al-Minqari."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are two circuits (tawaf) for which the sins of the one who performs them are forgiven, however many they may be: a tawaf performed after the Fajr prayer and finished at sunrise, and a tawaf performed after Asr and finished at sunset." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah, and if it is (performed) before that or after it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is joined to it as well."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sa'id bin Jubayr except Zayd al-Ammi."

Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain, and Asim bin Mihja' is alone in narrating it."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "A man from Banu Kilab came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about the fee for a stud animal's mating, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from it. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we lend (our stud animal) for mating and we are given a gift (in return).' So he (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted him (to accept) the gift."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever blessing Allah Almighty grants a servant in his family, wealth or children, and he says these words: 'Ma sha' Allah, la quwwata illa billah' (What Allah wills [is what happens]; there is no power except with the help of Allah), he will not see any calamity in that blessing short of death." And Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give this same interpretation of this verse: "And why, when you entered your garden, did you not say: What Allah wills [is what happens]; there is no power except with the help of Allah."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain; Umar bin Yunus is alone in narrating it."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), "the hadith of the dabb (lizard)": The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in a gathering of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) when a Bedouin of Banu Sulaym came, who had caught a lizard and was keeping it in his sleeve. He was on his way to his camp when he saw a crowd of people, so he asked: "Around whom is this crowd?" The people said: "Around this man who claims to be a prophet." So he pushed his way through the people, came before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Muhammad! Women have never borne anyone with a more lying tongue than you, nor anyone more hateful than you. Were it not that my people would call me hasty, I would have rushed at you and killed you, and by killing you I would have made all the people happy." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to kill him." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not know that the forbearing man is close to being a prophet?" Then the Bedouin turned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) again and said: "By al-Lat and al-Uzza! I will never believe in you." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Bedouin! What made you say what you said? You spoke what is not the truth and did not honour my gathering." Mocking the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "So you even speak to me? By al-Lat and al-Uzza! I will not believe in you, unless this lizard believes in you!" Then he took the lizard out of his sleeve, threw it in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "If this lizard believes in you, I too will believe." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O lizard!" The lizard answered in clear Arabic speech, which everyone present understood: "Labbayka wa sa'dayka ya rasula rabbil-'alamin" (Here I am at your service, again and again, O Messenger of the Lord of the worlds!). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked it: "Whom do you worship?" It said: "Him whose Throne is in the heaven, whose dominion is in the earth, whose path is in the sea, whose mercy is in Paradise and whose punishment is in Hellfire." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O lizard! Then who am I?" It said: "You are the Messenger of the Lord of the worlds and the Seal of the Prophets. Whoever believes you has succeeded, and whoever denies you has failed and lost." Then the Bedouin said: "Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa annaka rasulullahi haqqan (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that you are truly the Messenger of Allah). I came to you when there was no one on the face of the earth more hateful to me than you, and by Allah, now you are dearer to me than my own self and my parents. I have believed in you with every hair of mine, my skin, my inner and outer self, and my secret and open self." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "All praise is for Allah who guided you to this religion, which prevails and is not prevailed over. Allah does not accept it without prayer, and He does not accept prayer without the Qur'an." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him Surah al-Fatihah and "Say: He is Allah, the One." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have not heard anything better than this, even in poetry of the basit metre or the rajaz." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the speech of the Lord of the worlds; it is not poetry. When you recite 'Say: He is Allah, the One' once, it is as if you have recited one third of the Qur'an; when you recite it twice, it is as if you have recited two thirds of the Qur'an; and when you recite it three times, it is as if you have recited the whole Qur'an." The Bedouin said: "What an excellent God our God is! He accepts a little deed and gives in abundance." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give this Bedouin something." So the Companions gave him so much that he became overjoyed with wealth. Then Sayyiduna Abdul Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I wish to give him a she-camel by which I seek closeness to Allah, one lower than a Bactrian camel and better than an ordinary Bedouin camel, and she is ten months pregnant." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have described what you will give; shall I describe to you what Allah will give you in return?" He said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will have a she-camel made of a hollow pearl, her legs of green emerald and her neck of yellow chrysolite. On her will be a howdah, and on the howdah fine and heavy silk (sundus and istabraq). She will pass over the Sirat like a flash of snatching lightning."
Then the Bedouin left the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was met by a thousand Bedouins riding a thousand mounts, with a thousand spears and a thousand swords. He asked them: "Where are you heading?" They said: "We are going to fight this man who lies and claims to be a prophet." The Bedouin said: "Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa anna Muhammadan rasulullah (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah)." They said: "Have you abandoned your religion?" He said: "I have not abandoned my religion." Then he told them the whole story, and all of them said: "La ilaha illallah, Muhammadun rasulullah (There is no god but Allah; Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah)." When this news reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to receive them without even his upper cloak. They dismounted from their riding animals and kept kissing whatever part of his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed body their hands could reach, saying: "La ilaha illallah, Muhammadun rasulullah (There is no god but Allah; Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah)." Then they said: "Give us a command that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) loves." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will be under the banner of Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him)." The narrator said: Among the Arabs there is no (tribe) other than Banu Sulaym a thousand of whose men believed all together.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Dawud bin Abi Hind in this complete detail except Kahmas, and no one narrated it from Kahmas except Mu'tamir; Muhammad bin Abd al-A'la is alone in narrating it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Day of Sacrifice (the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah) is the day of the Greater Hajj."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Shaybani as a marfu' (Prophetic) report except Hafs bin Umar; Muhammad bin Bakkar is alone in narrating it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three things are of coarseness (bad manners and disrespect): a man wiping the dust off his face before he has finished his prayer, blowing away the dust from the place of prostration during the prayer, and urinating while standing."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain; Abu Ubaydah al-Haddad is alone in narrating it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud al-Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is any of you unable to recite a third of the Qur'an in one night?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Can anyone recite a third of the Qur'an (in one night)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is any of you unable to recite 'Say: He is Allah, the One'?"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only al-Hasan bin Abi Ja'far narrated this hadith from Muhammad bin Juhadah, and only Abu Jabir narrated it from al-Hasan; Abu Hatim al-Sijistani is alone in narrating it."

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever eats seven of the Ajwah dates of Madinah during the day, poison will not harm him that day; and whoever eats them at night, poison will not harm him (that night)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), through Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), only with this chain, and Muhammad bin Yahya al-Qut'i is alone in narrating it. Sulayman bin Bilal and other narrators, however, narrated it from Abdullah bin Abd al-Rahman bin Ma'mar Abu Tuwalah, from Amir bin Sa'd, from his father (Sayyiduna Sa'd, may Allah be pleased with him)."
