It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you think about the fornicator, the thief and the one who drinks wine? What do you say about them?" The Companions said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These are shameful deeds, and there is punishment for them. Shall I not tell you what the greatest of the major sins is? Associating partners with Allah." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "And whoever associates partners with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin" [al-Nisa: 48]; and disobedience to parents. Then he said: "Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the final return" [Luqman: 14]. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had been reclining, then he sat upright and said: "Beware! And false speech." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Everything that Allah has forbidden is a major sin.

When he turned to leave, he (peace and blessings be upon him) called him back and said: "The other sixth is also a grant (tu'mah) for you."

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were forbidden from cauterisation.

He said: If he divorced at an improper time and took her back contrary to the Sunnah, then let him take witnesses now.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man freed six slaves at the time of his death, and he had no wealth other than them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cast lots among them, freed two and kept four in slavery.

A similar hadith is also narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) had drawn close to his Companions. He (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these two verses in a loud voice: "O people, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the Hour is a tremendous thing. On the Day you see it, every nursing mother will be distracted from the child she nursed, and every pregnant woman will deliver her load, and you will see the people intoxicated, yet they will not be intoxicated; but the punishment of Allah is severe" [al-Hajj: 2]. When the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard this, they urged their mounts on and understood that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to say something special. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what day that is?" The Companions said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is a day when Adam (peace be upon him) will be called. His Lord will call him and say: 'O Adam, send forth the party of the Fire.' He will say: 'O Lord, how many?' He will say: 'From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine to the Fire and one to Paradise.'" At this the Companions were so distressed that not one of them could laugh. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the state of his Companions, he said: "Work and rejoice. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), there are with you two creations who have never been part of anything without making it numerous: Gog and Magog (Ya'juj and Ma'juj), and those of the children of Adam who perished." Then some of the distress the Companions were feeling was lifted from them. Then he said: "Work and rejoice. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), you are among the people no more than a mole on the side of a camel, or a mark on the foreleg of an animal."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), on one of his journeys, when the pace of his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions had drawn close together, recited these two verses in a loud voice. Then he narrated a hadith like the hadith of Abu Awanah.

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When these two verses were revealed to the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey of his, and the pace of travel among the Companions had drawn close together, we held back our mounts and understood that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to say something. When we had gathered around him (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "Do you know what day this is?" We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: "This is a day on which Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will say: 'O Adam, send forth a party to the Fire.' He will say: 'O Lord, how many?' He will say: 'From every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine into the Fire.'" The narrator said: When the Companions heard this, they were distressed, and not one of them parted his lips (in a smile) so that his teeth showed. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the state of his Companions, he said: "Know and rejoice. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), there are with you two creations who have never been with any people without making them numerous: Gog and Magog (Ya'juj and Ma'juj) - I think he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: along with those of the offspring of Iblis who perished - and you are among the people no more than a mole on the side of a camel, or a mark on the foreleg of an animal."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn and Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three sons were born to Nuh (peace be upon him): Sam, the forefather of the Arabs; Ham, the forefather of the Abyssinians; and Yafith, the forefather of the Romans."

Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub and Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both) discussed (this matter) with each other. Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) related that he had preserved from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) two pauses (moments of silence): one pause when he (peace and blessings be upon him) said the takbir, and one pause when he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished reciting "not of those who have earned anger, nor of those who go astray" [al-Fatihah: 7]. Sayyiduna Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) disputed this, so they wrote to Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) about it, and his letter to them stated that Samurah had remembered correctly.

Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had one pause." Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There were two pauses." So they wrote to Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), and he wrote back: You have remembered correctly, O Samurah, and the people have forgotten.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not ride on a crimson (saddle cloth), nor do I wear garments dyed with safflower or coloured garments trimmed with silk."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no shighar in Islam, nor janab, nor jalab." (Shighar is that a man marries another man's sister on the condition that the other marries his sister, without a dowry; and jalab and janab related to wagering on horse races.)
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked na'y (announcing a death) and forbade it, and was stern about it. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever plunders is not one of us."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no jalab, no janab and no shighar in Islam."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware of the colour red, for it is the adornment most beloved to Satan."

And in spending, begin with those you are responsible for: your mother and your father, then whoever is closest to you, then whoever is closest after that."
