Salim from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in a hurry to travel on a journey, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would delay Maghrib until he combined it with the Isha prayer.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say the takbir in the prayer and raise both his hands up to the level of his shoulders, then when he said the takbir for bowing, he did the same." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said "Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah" (Allah hears the one who praises Him) and did the same, then he said "Rabbana laka al-hamd" (Our Lord, to You belongs all praise) and did the same.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said the takbir in the prayer, he would raise both his hands to the level of his shoulders; when he bowed, he would do the same; when he raised his head, he would do the same; and when he said "Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah" (Allah hears the one who praises Him), he would say "Rabbana laka al-hamd" (Our Lord, to You belongs all praise) and do the same; and he would not do so in the prostration.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would say "Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka al-hamd" (Allah hears the one who praises Him; Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise), then before prostrating he would say: "O Allah, curse so-and-so and so-and-so," then he would say the takbir and prostrate, until Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Not for you is the decision in the matter at all" [Surah Al Imran: 128].

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the fear prayer (salat al-khawf): he led one of the two groups in one rak'ah while the other group stayed facing the enemy. Then they turned away and stood in the place of their companions, facing the enemy, and the (other) group came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in one rak'ah. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the salam, then these completed their one rak'ah and those completed their one rak'ah."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Neither the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), nor Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), nor Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to wear rings, nor did they seal any letter," until Ziyad bin Abi Sufyan wrote to Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): You write to us about matters that carry no seals. So at that he had a seal made and began sealing with it.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) we used to say (in order of excellence): Abu Bakr, then Umar, then Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them)."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: We used to say, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was still alive, that the most excellent of this Ummah after its Prophet are Abu Bakr, then Umar, then Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would hear this and not object to it. We do not know that Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) committed any major sin, nor that he killed any soul unjustly; rather, it is this wealth: if he gives it to you, you are pleased, and if he gives it to Quraysh, you are angry. You only want to become like Persia and Rome, who do not leave any ruler of theirs except that they kill him.

(Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (may Allah have mercy on him) said about this hadith: It is mursal from al-Zuhri, while the narration of Salim is based on Ibn Umar's (may Allah be pleased with them both) own practice, and in the narration of Ibn Uyaynah it seems an error occurred.)

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) walking in front of the funeral procession."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he does not wrong him, nor does he abandon him helpless. Whoever is engaged in fulfilling his brother's need, Allah is engaged in fulfilling his need; whoever relieves a Muslim of a hardship of this world, Allah will thereby relieve him of one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection; and whoever conceals (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will conceal him on the Day of Resurrection."

People said: A horn. He (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked it because of its resemblance to the Jews. Then the bell (naqus) was mentioned, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked it too because of its resemblance to the Christians. So that very night Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him), a man from the Ansar, and Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) were both shown the call to prayer (adhan) in a dream. The Ansari Companion came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that same night, and "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), and he gave the adhan with it."

Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), that two men from the Ansar recited a surah which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had taught them, and they used to recite it. One night they stood up to pray but could not recall a single letter of it. In the morning they both went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this to him, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is among what has been abrogated and caused to be forgotten, so turn your attention away from it." Al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) used to recite: "Whatever verse We abrogate or cause to be forgotten" [Surah al-Baqarah: 106] with a dammah on the nun, without doubling.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The oath that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) most often swore was: "No, by the Turner of hearts (Allah)."

It was said: Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) sees no harm in it. So he said: "Listen! By Allah, Ibn Abbas knows well that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it on the day of Hunayn, and we were not fornicators."
