It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), the son of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), died, he was sixteen months old.

حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ ، وَكَانَ غَيْرَ كَذُوبٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نُصَلِّي خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَإِذَا قَالَ : سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، لَمْ يَحْنِ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا ظَهْرَهُ حَتَّى يَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَبْهَتَهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ، فَإِذَا وَضَعَ جَبْهَتَهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ خَرَرْنَا سُجُودًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was never one to lie, that he said: "We used to pray behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

وَعَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : مَا رَأَيْنَا أَحَدًا فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مُتَرَجِّلًا أَجْمَلَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ لَهُ شَعَرٌ قَرِيبًا مِنْ مَنْكِبَيْهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I have not seen anyone, dressed in a red suit of clothes and with combed hair, more handsome than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو وَكِيعٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : مَا رَأَيْتُ ذَا لِمَّةٍ فِي حُلَّةٍ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that "when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) began the prayer, he would raise both his hands until they were level with both his (peace and blessings be upon him) ears." (The narrator of the hadith) Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I mentioned this to Adi bin Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: I (too) have heard Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) mention it in the same way.

Yunus bin Ubayd (may Allah have mercy on him) related that Muhammad bin al-Qasim sent him to Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask what the banner (flag) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was like. He replied: "His (peace and blessings be upon him) banner was black, square, and made from a striped woollen sheet (namirah)."
حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : كَانَ فِيمَا اشْتَرَطُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَلَّا يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ إِلَّا بِجُلُبَّانِ السِّلَاحِ ، قَالَ : وَمَا جُلُبَّانُ السِّلَاحِ ؟ قَالَ : الْقِرَابُ وَمَا فِيهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Among the conditions the people of Makkah imposed on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was that they would enter Makkah only with 'julubban al-silah'." The narrator asked: What is meant by 'julubban al-silah'? He replied: "It means the sheath or leather bag with the sword inside it."
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ إِيَادٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : كَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ بِفَرَحِ رَجُلٍ انْفَلَتَتْ مِنْهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ تَجُرُّ زِمَامَهَا بِأَرْضٍ قَفْرٍ لَيْسَ بِهَا طَعَامٌ وَلَا شَرَابٌ وَعَلَيْهَا لَهُ الطَّعَامُ وَالشَّرَابُ ، فَطَلَبَهَا حَتَّى شَقَّ عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ بِجِذْلِ شَجَرَةٍ ، فَتَعَلَّقَ زِمَامُهَا فَوَجَدَهَا مُتَعَلِّقَةً بِهِ ؟ قُلْنَا : شَدِيدًا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked (the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them): "What do you think of the joy of a man whose she-camel breaks loose from him in a barren wilderness and wanders off dragging her nose-rein along the ground, while in that land there is neither food nor water, and all his provisions are loaded on that very she-camel; he searches for her until the hardship exhausts him, then the she-camel passes by the stump of a tree, her rein gets caught in it, and he finds her held fast there?" We said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! His joy would be very great indeed." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty is certainly far more joyful at the repentance of His servant than that man is at finding his she-camel."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحْرِزُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ أَجْمَلَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مُتَرَجِّلًا ، كَانَ لَهُ شَعَرٌ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ ، أَوْ قَالَ : مَنْكِبَيْهِ ، الشَّكُّ مِنْ مُحْرِزٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I have never seen anyone more handsome and beautiful than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dressed in a red suit of clothes, while his (peace and blessings be upon him) hair was combed; his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed hair reached close to his ears" or he said: "it reached his (peace and blessings be upon him) shoulders." The doubt about this change of wording is from the narrator of the hadith, Muhriz bin Awn.
حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَحْيَى الْحِمَّانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ ، وَفِطْرٌ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ رَجَاءٍ ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ ضَمْعَجٍ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، يَقُولُ : زَيِّنُوا الْقُرْآنَ بِأَصْوَاتِكُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Zayyinu al-Qur'ana bi-aswatikum (Beautify the Noble Qur'an with your voices)."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عَلَى الْبَرَاءِ خَاتَمًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ ، قَالَ : قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَفَضَلَ هَذَا الْخَاتَمُ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ تَرَوْنَ أَحَقُّ بِهَذَا ؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ : ادْنُ يَا بَرَاءُ ، فَأَلْبَسَنِي فِي إِصْبَعِي ، وَقَالَ : الْبَسْ مَا كَسَاكَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ .
Muhammad bin Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) related: I saw a gold ring on the hand of Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was asked the reason for (wearing) it. He explained that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was distributing wealth and this ring was left over. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Who do you think has the most right to it?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Bara', come close." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself put the ring on my finger and said: "Wear what Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) have clothed you with."
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ : الْغَنَمُ بَرَكَةٌ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came from Makkah to Madinah, Sayyiduna Suraqah bin Ju'shum (may Allah be pleased with him) pursued him (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against him, and his horse sank into the ground. He said: Supplicate to Allah for me, and I will not harm you. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for him. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became thirsty, and they passed by a shepherd. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'So I took a cup and milked a little milk into it, then I brought it to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) drank it until I was pleased (that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had quenched his thirst).'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، وَرَجُلٍ آخَرَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ تَوَسَّدَ يَمِينَهُ، وَيَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَجْمَعُ عِبَادَكَ»،
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to sleep, he would make his right hand his pillow and say: "'Allahumma qini adhabaka yawma tajma'u ibadak' (O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day You gather Your servants)."
قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ: وَقَالَ أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ: «يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ»
It is narrated from Abu al-Ahwas (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said (mentioning these words of the supplication): 'Yawma tab'athu ibadak' (on the Day You resurrect Your servants).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا صَالَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ ، كَتَبَ عَلِيٌّ بَيْنَهُمْ كِتَابًا فَكَتَبَ : مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ ، فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ : لَا تَكْتُبْ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ ، لَوْ كُنْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ نُقَاتِلْكَ ، قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ : امْحُهُ ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ : مَا أَنَا بِالَّذِي أَمْحُوهُ ، فَمَحَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِيَدِهِ ، فَصَالَحَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ، وَلَا يَدْخُلَهَا إِلَّا بِجُلُبَّانِ السِّلَاحِ ، فَسَأَلُوهُ مَا جُلُبَّانُ السِّلَاحِ ؟ قَالَ : الْقِرَابُ وَمَا فِيهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that "when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made peace with the people of Makkah, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a document (the peace treaty) between them, in which he wrote 'Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah'. At this the polytheists said: Do not write 'Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah', for if you were the Messenger of Allah we would not have fought you. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): 'Erase it.' Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said (out of love and devotion): 'I am not one who will ever erase it.' So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) erased it himself with his blessed hand. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) made peace with them on the condition that he and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would enter Makkah for three days, and that he would enter it only with 'julubban al-silah'. It was asked: What is meant by 'julubban al-silah'? He replied: 'The sword's sheath and what is in it.'"
قَالَ : وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَجُلًا مَرْبُوعًا ، بَعِيدَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ ، عَظِيمَ الْجُمَّةِ إِلَى شَحْمَةِ أُذُنَيْهِ ، عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ ، مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was of medium height and well-proportioned, his blessed shoulders were broad and wide apart, the hair of his head was thick and abundant, reaching his earlobes, and he was wearing a beautiful red suit of clothes. I have never seen anything more handsome and beautiful than him (peace and blessings be upon him)."
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ قَدِمَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُصْعَبَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ، وَابْنَ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، فَكَانُوا يُقْرِئُونَ النَّاسَ»، قَالَ: «فَقَدِمَ بِلَالٌ، وَسَعِيدٌ، وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ»، قَالَ: «ثُمَّ قَدِمَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فِي عِشْرِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثُمَّ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَرِحُوا بِشَيْءٍ فَرَحَهُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم»، قَالَ: " حَتَّى جَعَلَ الْإِمَاءُ يَقُلْنَ: قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم "، قَالَ: «فَمَا قَدِمَ حَتَّى قَرَأْتُ بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى فِي سُوَرٍ مِنَ الْمُفَصَّلِ»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he related: "The first of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to arrive (in Madinah, emigrating) were Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him); these two used to teach people the Noble Qur'an." Then he related: "After that Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived." Then he related: "Then Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived with twenty other Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and after that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself arrived. I never saw the people of Madinah as happy about anything as they were at the arrival of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)", so much so that even the slave-girls began calling out: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has arrived!" He related: "By the time he (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, I had already read (that is, memorised) Surah 'Sabbih isma rabbika al-a'la' (Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High) and several other surahs of the Mufassal."
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ ، وَلَقَدْ وَارَى التُّرَابُ بَطْنَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ :
اللَّهُمَّ لَوْلَا أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا إِنَّ الْأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا
وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ :
إِنَّ الْمَلَا قَدْ أَبَوْا عَلَيْنَا إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا
يَرْفَعُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ .
اللَّهُمَّ لَوْلَا أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الْأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لَاقَيْنَا إِنَّ الْأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was carrying earth (at the Battle of the Trench), and because of the amount of earth the colour of his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed stomach was hidden. Meanwhile he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying these words (as rajaz verse): 'Allahumma lawla anta mahtadayna, wa la tasaddaqna wa la sallayna, fa-anzilan sakinatan alayna, wa thabbiti al-aqdama in laqayna, inna al-ula qad baghaw alayna' (O Allah, had it not been for Your grace, we would not have been guided, nor would we have given charity, nor prayed; so send down tranquillity and calm upon us, and keep our feet firm when we meet the enemy; indeed those people have transgressed against us). And sometimes he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: 'Inna al-mala'a qad abaw alayna, idha aradu fitnatan abayna' (Indeed these chiefs have rebelled against us; whenever they intend a fitnah, we refuse it). And he (peace and blessings be upon him) would raise his blessed voice while reciting these verses.
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِقَوْمٍ جُلُوسٍ فِي الطَّرِيقِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا بُدَّ فَاعِلِينَ فَاهْدُوا السَّبِيلَ ، وَرُدُّوا السَّلَامَ ، وَأَعِينُوا الْمَظْلُومَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by some people who were sitting in the road, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you must (sit there), then guide people on the way, return the greeting of salam, and help the one who is wronged."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، بِمِثْلِهِ .
قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ : أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ الْبَرَاءِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا .
قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ : أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ الْبَرَاءِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا .
Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated something similar from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Imam Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "I asked Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him): Did you hear this hadith from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) yourself? He replied: No."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ: مَاتَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُهَا، قَالَ أُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: وَكَيْفَ بِأَصْحَابِنَا الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يَشْرَبُونَهَا؟ فَنَزَلَتْ " {لَيْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ جُنَاحٌ فِيمَا طَعِمُوا إِذَا مَا اتَّقُوا وَآمَنُوا} [المائدة: 93]

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) died while they used to drink wine. Then, when the prohibition of wine was revealed, some of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What will be the ruling regarding our companions who died while they used to drink it?" So this blessed verse was revealed: "There is no sin on those who believe and do righteous deeds for what they ate (and drank before the prohibition), provided they fear Allah and remain firm in faith."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ مِثْلَهُ .
قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : قُلْتُ : أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ الْبَرَاءِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا .
قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : قُلْتُ : أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ الْبَرَاءِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا .
Something similar is also narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him). Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him): "Did you hear this narration from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) yourself?" He replied: "No."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ ، يَقُولُ : أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَجُلًا إِذَا أَخَذَ مَضْجَعَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ : اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ ، وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ ، لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَى مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed a man that when he lies down on his bed he should say: 'Allahumma aslamtu nafsi ilayka, wa wajjahtu wajhi ilayka, wa fawwadtu amri ilayka, wa alja'tu zahri ilayka raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayka, la malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilayka, amantu bi-kitabika alladhi anzalta wa bi-nabiyyika alladhi arsalta' (O Allah, I have submitted my soul to You, turned my face towards You, entrusted my affair to You, and placed my back under Your protection out of hope in You and fear of You. There is no refuge and no place of safety from You except with You. I believe in Your Book which You revealed and in Your Prophet whom You sent). (He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "So if he dies (that night), he dies upon the fitrah (the natural way of Islam)."
وَبِهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ، يَقُولُ : قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ الْكَهْفَ وَفِي الدَّارِ دَابَّةٌ فَجَعَلَتْ تَنْفِرُ فَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا ضَبَابَةٌ أَوْ سَحَابَةٌ قَدْ غَشِيَتْهُ ، فَذَكَرَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : اقْرَأْ فُلَانُ ، فَإِنَّهَا السَّكِينَةُ نَزَلَتْ عِنْدَ الْقُرْآنِ ، أَوْ تَنَزَّلَتْ لِلْقُرْآنِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was reciting Surah al-Kahf while there was an animal in the house, which began to shy away. When he finished his prayer with the salam, he saw that a cloud or a shadow of mist had covered him. So he mentioned the incident to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O so-and-so, you should have kept reciting, for that was the tranquillity (sakinah) that descended because of the recitation of the Qur'an, or came down for the Qur'an."
وَبِهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ : آخِرُ آيَةٍ نَزَلَتِ الْكَلَالَةُ ، وَآخِرُ سُورَةٍ نَزَلَتْ بَرَاءَةٌ .
Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) related: I heard Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: "The last verse to be revealed was (the one about the inheritance of) kalalah, and the last surah to be revealed was Surah Bara'ah (al-Tawbah)."
وَبِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ: «اسْتُصْغِرْتُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَنَا وَابْنُ عُمَرَ، وَكَانَتِ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ نَيِّفًا عَلَى السِّتِّينَ، وَالْأَنْصَارُ نَيِّفًا عَلَى الْمِئَتَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ»
It is narrated from Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) that he heard Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "On the day of Badr, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and I were considered too young (to take part in the battle) because of our age. At that time the Muhajirun numbered somewhat more than sixty, while the Ansar numbered somewhat more than two hundred and forty."
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: " {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [النساء: 95]، {وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} [النساء: 95]، قَالَ: فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَيْدًا، فَجَاءَ بِكَتِفٍ، قَالَ: فَشَكَا ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ ضَرَارَتَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء: 95]

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said concerning this verse, "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home)" and "those who strive in the cause of Allah": "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) (to write down the revelation), so he brought a shoulder blade (to write on). Meanwhile Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) complained of his disability, and (at this) this verse was revealed: 'Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), other than those who are disabled' meaning, 'Those of the believers who sit at home (without a valid excuse) and those who strive in the cause of Allah cannot be equal, except for those who are disabled.'"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ} [النساء: 95]، مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ الْبَرَاءِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), concerning this noble verse, "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home)" ('Those of the believers who sit at home (without an excuse) cannot be equal (to those who strive in the cause of Allah with their lives and wealth)'), that "this narration is just like the hadith of Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him)."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ، وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : أَفَرَرْتُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ ؟ فَقَالَ الْبَرَاءُ : لَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ لَمْ يَفِرَّ ، كَانَتْ هَوَازِنُ نَاسًا رُمَاةً ، وَإِنَّا لَمَّا حَمَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَأَكْبَبْنَا عَلَى الْغَنَائِمِ ، فَاسْتَقْبَلُونَا بِالسِّهَامِ ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الشَّهْبَاءِ ، وَإِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ :
أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ .
أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from the tribe of Qays asked him: Did all of you flee from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Hunayn? Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood firm and never turned his back. What happened was that the people of the Hawazin tribe were skilled archers. When we attacked them they fell back, and we became busy gathering the spoils of war; then they suddenly met us with a shower of arrows. I myself saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) riding his white mule, and Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) was holding the mule's rein, and at that moment he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying in a loud voice: 'Ana al-nabiyyu la kadhib, ana ibnu Abd al-Muttalib' (I am the Prophet in truth, this is no lie; I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "On the day of Khaybar we obtained some (domestic) donkeys, and the caller of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) announced: 'Overturn the cooking pots (full of their meat).'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from a journey he would say these words: 'Ayibuna, abiduna, li-rabbina hamidun' (We are returning, worshipping, and praising our Lord alone).
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ، يَقُولُ : أُهْدِيَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حُلَّةُ حَرِيرٍ ، فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَلْمِسُونَهَا ، يَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ لِينِهَا ، فَقَالَ : تَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ لِينِ هَذِهِ ؟ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنْهَا وَأَلْيَنُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that a silk robe was presented as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) began touching it and expressing amazement at its extraordinary softness and delicacy. At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are you amazed at its softness? Indeed, the handkerchiefs of Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) in Paradise are far better and far softer and finer than this."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : أُهْدِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حُلَّةُ حَرِيرٍ ، فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَلْمِسُونَهَا ، فَقَالَ : أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ لِينِ هَذَا ؟ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلْيَنُ مِنْ هَذَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that a suit of silk clothing was presented as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and his (peace and blessings be upon him) Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) began touching it (in wonder and amazement). At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are you amazed at its softness and smoothness? Indeed, the handkerchiefs of Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) in Paradise are far softer and finer than this."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ يَقُولُ: " كَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِذَا حَجُّوا لَمْ يَدْخُلُوا الْبُيُوتَ إِلَّا مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَدَخَلَ مِنْ بَابِهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَنَزَلَتْ: {وَلَيْسَ الْبِرُّ بِأَنْ تَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا} [البقرة: 189] الْآيَةَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that "it was the custom of the Ansar that when they performed Hajj, they would enter their houses from the back instead of through the front doors. Then a man from the Ansar came and entered through the door (of his house), and he was criticised for it, whereupon this blessed verse was revealed: 'And it is not righteousness that you enter houses from their backs.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَنَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ النَّهْمِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَسَمِعَ أَبَا مُوسَى يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ : كَأَنَّ صَوْتَ هَذَا مِنْ أَصْوَاتِ آلِ دَاوُدَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) reciting the Noble Qur'an and said: "It is as if this man's voice is one of the beautiful voices of the melodies of the family of Dawud."
