Reports narrated by Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him)

Sayyiduna Fadalah bin Ubayd and Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrate from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites ten verses in a night, a qintar will be recorded for him, and the qintar is better than the world and all that is in it. When the Day of Resurrection comes, your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, will say: Recite and rise a degree for every verse, until he reaches the last verse he has with him. Your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, will say to the servant: Close your hands. The servant will say with his hand: O Lord, You know best. He will say: In this hand is eternity, and in this one is bliss."

Rawh bin Zinba' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I came to Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was the governor of Bayt al-Maqdis, and he was sifting barley for his horse. I said: O governor, do you not have someone who could do this for you? He said: No, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever sifts barley for his horse, then stands with it until he hangs the feed bag on it, Allah records for him a good deed for every grain of barley."

And Abu Kurayb said (in the chain): Uthman bin Zayd.

Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I heard the caller of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) announcing: "Gather for the prayer." So I went out with some women of the Ansar until we came to the mosque, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Zuhr prayer. Then he ascended the pulpit and turned his face towards us, smiling, and then said: "By Allah, I have not gathered you for any new desire or fear, but because of a report which Tamim al-Dari related to me. He came to me, accepted Islam and gave his pledge of allegiance, and he told me that he set sail with thirty men from Lakhm and Judham, two of the Arab tribes of Yemen. The sea caught them in a stormy state, and the waves tossed them about for a month, then cast them, close to sunset, onto one of the islands of the sea. There we saw a very hairy creature whose front could not be told from its back. We said: 'O creature, what are you?' By the permission of Allah it spoke to us in a fluent and eloquent tongue and said: 'I am al-Jassasah.' We said: 'And what is al-Jassasah?' It said: 'Go on from me; make for that monastery at the far end of the island, for in it is a man who is most eager for news of you.' So we went to the monastery, and there we saw a man, the largest in build and the bulkiest in body that I have ever seen. His right eye was wiped out, as if his eye were a drop of phlegm on a plastered wall; both his hands were chained to his neck, and both his legs were bound in fetters from his knees to his feet. We said to him: 'O man, who are you?' He said: 'As for my story, it has already become plain to you, but tell me your story: what brought you to this island? For since I came here no human being has reached this island.' Then he said to us: 'Tell me about the lake of Tiberias: what is its state?' We said: 'About which aspect of it are you asking?' He said: 'Has its water dried up? And has anything strange begun to happen in it?' We said: 'No.' He said: 'It will happen soon.' Then he was silent for a long while, then said: 'Tell me about the spring of Zughar: what is its state?' We said: 'About which aspect of it are you asking?' He said: 'Do its people farm with the water of that spring?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Beware! Soon its water will dry up and its people will not be able to farm with it.' Then he was silent for a long while, then said: 'Tell me about the date palms of Baysan: what is their state?' We said: 'About which aspect of them are you asking?' He said: 'Do they bear fruit?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Beware! Soon they will not bear fruit.' Then he was silent for a long while, then said: 'Tell me about the unlettered Prophet: what is his state?' We said: 'About which aspect of him are you asking?' He said: 'Has he appeared?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'What have the Arabs done with him?' We said: 'Some of them have fought him and some of them have believed him.' He said: 'Whoever believed him, that is better for him' — he said this three times. Then we said: 'O man, tell us your story.' He said: 'Do you not recognise me?' We said: 'Had we recognised you, we would not have asked you.' He said: 'I am the Dajjal. Soon I will be permitted to come out, and when I come out I will tread all the lands of the Arabs except Makkah and Taybah. Whenever I intend to enter either of them, an angel will stand before me with a drawn sword and turn me back from it.'" Abu al-Ash-hab said: Amir (al-Sha'bi) related that Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Then I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) raise both his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits, then he said: "Listen, this is Taybah" three times. Then he said: "Listen, he (the Dajjal) is towards Syria." Then a swoon came over him (peace and blessings be upon him) for a while, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) trembled, then that state passed, and he said: "Rather, he is in Yemen" three times. Then a swoon came over him (peace and blessings be upon him) for a while and he trembled, then that state passed, and he said: "Rather, he is towards Iraq, rather, he is towards Iraq, rather, he is towards Iraq. He will come out, when he comes out, from a village called Rastaqbadh in a city called Isfahan. When he comes out, at his vanguard will be seventy thousand people wearing tayalisah (shawls). With him will be two rivers, a river of water and a river of fire. So whoever among you lives to see that time and is told: Enter the water, let him not enter it, for in reality it is fire; and when he is told: Enter the fire, let him enter it, for in reality it is water."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Fatimah bint Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the Dajjal and said: "He is from the direction of Iraq, he is from the direction of Syria," and he narrated the full hadith.

Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, a man accepts Islam at my hands and then dies (what is the ruling)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are the person with the greatest right over him, in his life and in his death."

Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, a disbeliever accepts Islam at the hands of a Muslim; what is the Sunnah regarding him?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He (the Muslim) is the person with the greatest right over him, in his life and in his death."

Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, a man from the polytheists accepts Islam at the hands of a Muslim (what is the ruling)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He (the Muslim) is the person with the greatest right over him, in his life and in his death."

Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a skin of wine as a gift every year. In the year it was made unlawful, he still gave him a skin as a gift, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said: "It has been made unlawful." He said: "Then shall I sell it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Both buying it and taking its price are unlawful."

Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It was said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Some people cut off the humps of camels and cut off the tails of sheep." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever is cut from a living animal is carrion."

Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah, some people cut off the humps of camels and the tails of sheep while they are alive." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever is cut from an animal while it is alive is carrion."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever bears witness ten times that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, One, Unique, Self-Sufficient, who has taken neither wife nor child, and to whom no one is equal, Allah records for him forty thousand good deeds."

Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for a piece of land in Syria as a land grant, at a time when it had not yet been conquered, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) granted it to me. Then, when it was conquered in the time of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), I went to him and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted me the land from such-and-such a place to such-and-such a place. So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) assigned a third of it to travellers, a third to its upkeep and cultivation, and a third to us.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "This religion will reach wherever the night reaches, until it enters every house of clay and every tent of hair, until Allah honours Islam through it and humiliates the disbelievers." Tamim (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have seen this in my own family: whoever of them accepted Islam attained goodness, nobility and honour, and whoever of them persisted in disbelief met with humiliation, abasement and the jizyah."

Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) told me himself, or I was told about him, that Tamim al-Dari (may Allah be pleased with him) prayed two rak'ahs after Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) had forbidden praying after Asr. So Umar came to him and struck him with his whip. Tamim (may Allah be pleased with him), while still in his prayer, gestured to him to sit, so Umar sat until Tamim finished. Then he asked Umar: "Why did you strike me?" He said: "Because you prayed these two rak'ahs which I had forbidden." He said: "I prayed them with one better than you, with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "My intent was not to forbid you, O group, but I fear that after you will come people who will keep praying from Asr until Maghrib, until they enter even the time in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade praying, just as they joined the time between Zuhr and Asr, and then they will say: We saw so-and-so and so-and-so praying after Asr."
