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

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), in the explanation of the verse "Like a niche" [Surah al-Nur: 35], said: "It refers to the breast of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); the glass refers to his heart; and the lamp refers to the light that is in his heart. 'Lit from a blessed tree': the tree refers to Ibrahim (peace be upon him). 'An olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west': that is, neither Jewish nor Christian." Then he recited this verse: "Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was an upright Muslim, and he was not of the polytheists" [Surah Al Imran: 67].

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in prayer, and a man was turning over the pebbles with his hand. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he turned towards us and said: "Which of you is the one who was turning over the pebbles?" A man stood up and said: It is me, O Messenger of Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "That is your share of your prayer."

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: "There is no good in a gathering of women, nor at (the side of) a deceased person, for when they gather they just talk and talk."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That the belly of one of you be filled with pus until it destroys him is better for him than that it be filled with poetry."
Muhammad bin al-Muthanna gave the lineage of Abu Ubaydah thus: Abu (Ubaydah) Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Umar.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard thunder and thunderbolts, he would say: "O Allah, do not destroy us with Your wrath, and do not ruin us with Your punishment, and grant us well-being before that."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer, he would raise both his hands, and also when saying the takbir for bowing (ruku'), and also when raising his head from bowing."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, the Muslims looked to the best among them and made him their caliph, and he was Abu Bakr. Then when Abu Bakr passed away, the people looked to the best of the Muslims and made him caliph, and he was Umar. Then when he died, or was martyred, the Muslims looked to the best among them and made him caliph, and he was Uthman. If you kill him, then bring someone better than him; by Allah, I do not think you will be able to do so."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Al-Qasim, from whom Qurrah bin Khalid narrated this hadith, is Abu Nahik of Basrah, who is Ibn Muhammad."

Kathir bin Qunbur (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We asked Salim bin Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) about the prayer of his father (Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) while travelling, and he told me from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a matter confronts one of you which he fears will be missed, let him pray this prayer", meaning combining two prayers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No father has given his child a gift better than good upbringing."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I had forbidden you from nabidh made in earthenware jars, and I had forbidden you from visiting graves, and I had forbidden you from (storing) the meat of sacrificial animals. Listen! Vessels neither make anything lawful nor make it unlawful. Listen! Visit the graves, for they soften the hearts." (The narrator) added in his narration: "Listen! I had forbidden you from (keeping) the meat of sacrificial animals (for more than three days); so now eat, and store as much as you wish."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The food of two suffices four, and the food of four suffices eight; so gather together over it and do not separate from it."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked about a man: "Who knows him?" A man among them said: I do. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is his name?" He said: I do not know. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What is his father's name?" He said: I do not know. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where is his home?" He said: I do not know. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not called knowing (someone), until you know his name, his father's name and his tribe, so that if he falls ill you visit him, and if he dies you attend his funeral."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that he was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) along with some of the Companions, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people, do you not know that I am the Messenger of Allah?" They said: Of course, we bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not know that Allah revealed in His Book: Whoever obeys me has obeyed Allah?" They said: Of course, we bear witness that whoever obeys you has obeyed Allah, and that obeying you is part of obeying Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And obeying Allah is that you obey me, and part of obeying me is that you obey your imams; and if they lead the prayer sitting, then all of you pray sitting."

Ubayd bin Ziyad al-Hadrami (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Malik bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) met Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah have mercy on him), while he was riding a donkey whose ears drooped, and his saddle and clothes were worn out. Salim asked him: Whose man are you? He said: I am from you, and I belong to you, and I am one of your mawali (freed clients). Then he said: Narrate to me a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). (So Salim related 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 betray him, nor abandon him helpless in a calamity that befalls him. If the best of the Arabs and the mawali come together, they love one another with a love they cannot avoid; and if the worst of the two groups come together, they hate one another with a hatred they also cannot avoid."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People are like a herd of a hundred camels: a camel fit for riding is sought among the people, and only one is found."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out on the day of Eid and first led the prayer without the adhan and iqamah, then he delivered the sermon."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer he would raise his hands, and also when he bowed, and also when he raised his head from bowing, and he would not raise his hands beyond his ears.
