Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "In my view, Abu al-Rabi' al-Samman erred in attributing this hadith (marfu') to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because the well-known narration from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is that he himself used to recite this rajaz verse while departing from Arafat."

When Salim went out with the man, he asked him: Did you pray the morning prayer? He said: Yes. Salim said: Then go wherever you wish. Then he came back and threw down the sword. Al-Hajjaj asked him: Did you strike off his neck? He said: No. He asked: Why not? He said: I heard my father say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever prays the morning prayer is under the protection of Allah until evening."

Salim said: My father told me that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever prays the morning prayer remains under the protection of Allah for that day." So I disliked killing a man whom Allah had given protection.

I said: Describe them to us. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are those whose clothes are soiled and whose hair is dishevelled, who are not given permission at doors, and who are not able to marry wealthy women; the easts and wests of the earth will be entrusted to them; they give all that is due from them, but they are not given all that is due to them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Jews were asked about Musa (peace be upon him), and they multiplied (their words) and exaggerated, and diminished, until they disbelieved. And the Christians were asked about Isa (peace be upon him), and they too exaggerated and diminished until they disbelieved. And soon hadiths attributed to me will spread; so whatever hadith of mine comes to you, present it to the Book of Allah and examine it: whatever agrees with the Book of Allah, I said it, and whatever does not agree with the Book of Allah, I did not say it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has made wine unlawful, and every intoxicant is unlawful."
