حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، أَنَّ أَنَسًا حَدَّثَهُمْ : أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ حَدَّثَتْ أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ الْمَرْأَةِ تَرَى فِي مَنَامِهَا مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ ؟ قَالَ : إِذَا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ : وَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : وَهَلْ يَكُونُ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : نَعَمْ ، فَمِنْ أَيْنَ يَكُونُ الشَّبَهُ ؟ إِنَّ مَاءَ الرَّجُلِ غَلِيظٌ ، وَمَاءَ الْمَرْأَةِ رَقِيقٌ أَصْفَرُ ، فَمِنْ أَيِّهِمَا عَلَا أَوْ سَبَقَ يَكُونُ الشَّبَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) that she asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about a woman who sees in her dream what a man sees (that is, she has a wet dream). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a woman sees that, she should take a ritual bath (ghusl)." Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I felt shy about this, so I said: Does this really happen? The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! (If not,) then where does the resemblance (in children) come from? Indeed, the man's fluid is thick and the woman's fluid is thin and yellowish; so whichever of the two prevails or comes first, the resemblance is according to it."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : سَيَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي اخْتِلَافٌ ، وَفِرْقَةٌ يُحْسِنُونَ الْقَوْلَ وَيُسِيئُونَ الْفِعْلَ ، يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ تَرَاقِيَهُمْ ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ ، ثُمَّ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَرْتَدَّ عَلَى فُوقِهِ ، هُمْ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخَلِيقَةِ ، طُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ ، وَطُوبَى لِمَنْ قَتَلُوهُ ، يَدْعُونَ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ وَلَيْسُوا مِنْهُ فِي شَيْءٍ ، مَنْ قَاتَلَهُمْ كَانَ أَوْلَى بِاللهِ مِنْهُمْ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا سِيمَاهُمْ ؟ قَالَ : التَّحْلِيقُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik and Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There will be disagreement in my Ummah, and there will be a group who speak well but act badly. They will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will pass out of the religion as an arrow passes through the game, and they will not return to the religion until the arrow returns to its notch. They are the worst of creation. Glad tidings to the one who kills them, and glad tidings to the one whom they kill. They will call to the Book of Allah, while they themselves have nothing to do with it. Whoever fights them will be closer to Allah than they are." The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! What will their sign be?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shaving the head."
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبُو صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ ، فَقَرَّبَ أَحَدَهُمَا ، فَقَالَ : بِسْمِ اللهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ ، هَذَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ، وَقَرَّبَ الْآخَرَ ، فَقَالَ : بِسْمِ اللهِ ، اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ وَلَكَ ، هَذَا عَمَّنْ وَحَّدَكَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two rams that were horned and piebald (white mixed with black). He (peace and blessings be upon him) brought one of them near (for slaughter) and said: 'Bismillah, Allahumma minka wa laka, hadha 'an Muhammadin wa ahli baytih' (In the name of Allah. O Allah, this is from Your gift and for You alone; this is on behalf of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his household). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) brought the other near and said: 'Bismillah, Allahumma minka wa laka, hadha 'amman wahhadaka min ummati' (In the name of Allah. O Allah, this is from You and for You alone; this is on behalf of whoever of my Ummah has affirmed Your Oneness).
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الطَّبَّاعُ ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ يَتَخَتَّمُ فِي يَمِينِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wear a ring on his right hand."
حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارٌ أَبُو يَاسِرٍ الْمُسْتَمْلِي ، حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ الْحَجْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَلَدَغَتْ رَجُلًا بُرْغُوثٌ فَلَعَنَهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : لَا تَلْعَنْهَا ، فَإِنَّهَا نَبَّهَتْ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لِلصَّلَاةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when a flea bit a man, and he cursed it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed him and said: "Do not curse it, for it woke one of the prophets for the prayer."
حَدَّثَنَا عَمَّارٌ أَيْضًا ، حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ الدَّانَاجُ ، وَمَطَرٌ الْوَرَّاقُ ، كُلُّهُمْ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ بَابِ الْبَيْتِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الْحُجْرَةَ ، فَسَمِعَ قَوْمًا يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِي الْقَدَرِ ، وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ : أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللهُ آيَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللهُ آيَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ؟ قَالَ : فَفَتَحَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بَابَ الْحُجْرَةِ ، فَكَأَنَّمَا فُقِئَ فِي وَجْهِهِ حَبُّ الرُّمَّانِ ، فَقَالَ : أَبِهَذَا أُمِرْتُمْ أَوْ بِهَذَا عُنِيتُمْ ؟ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ بِأَشْبَاهِ هَذَا ، ضَرَبُوا كِتَابَ اللهِ بَعْضَهُ بِبَعْضٍ ، أَمَرَكُمُ اللهُ بِأَمْرٍ فَاتَّبِعُوهُ ، وَنَهَاكُمْ فَانْتَهُوا ، قَالَ : فَلَمْ يَسْمَعِ النَّاسُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَحَدًا يَتَكَلَّمُ حَتَّى جَاءَ مَعْبَدٌ الْجُهَنِيُّ فَأَخَذَهُ الْحَجَّاجُ فَقَتَلَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out of the door of his house intending to go to the blessed chamber. Meanwhile he (peace and blessings be upon him) heard some people arguing and disputing about divine decree (qadar), saying: Did Allah Almighty not say this in such-and-such a verse? And did Allah Almighty not say this in such-and-such a verse? The narrator said: (Hearing this,) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) opened the door of the chamber, and out of intense anger his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face was so red that it was as though pomegranate seeds had been squeezed over it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is this what you have been commanded? Or is this what you are intended for? Those before you were destroyed only because of things like this: they set parts of the Book of Allah against other parts. Follow whatever Allah Almighty has commanded you, and refrain from whatever He has forbidden you." The narrator said: After this incident people did not hear anyone speaking on this subject until Ma'bad al-Juhani appeared, whom al-Hajjaj seized and had killed.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : نَزَلَتْ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَلَكِنَّ عَذَابَ اللهِ شَدِيدٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ فِي مَسِيرٍ لَهُ ، فَرَفَعَ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ حَتَّى ثَابَ إِلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَتَدْرُونَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ ؟ هَذَا يَوْمُ يَقُولُ اللهُ لِآدَمَ : قُمْ فَابْعَثْ بَعْثًا إِلَى النَّارِ : مِنْ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ تِسْعَمِائَةٍ وَتِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَوَاحِدًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ، فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : سَدِّدُوا ، وَقَارِبُوا ، وَأَبْشِرُوا ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، مَا أَنْتُمْ فِي النَّاسِ إِلَّا كَالشَّامَةِ فِي جَنْبِ الْبَعِيرِ ، أَوْ كَالرَّقْمَةِ فِي ذِرَاعِ الدَّابَّةِ ، إِنَّ مَعَكُمْ لَخَلِيقَتَيْنِ مَا كَانَتَا فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا كَثَّرَتَاهُ : يَأْجُوجُ وَمَأْجُوجُ ، وَمَنْ هَلَكَ مِنْ كَفَرَةِ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when these verses, from "O mankind, fear your Lord" to "but the punishment of Allah is severe," were revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during a journey, he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited them in a loud voice, until his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), hearing his voice, gathered around him. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you know what day this is? This is the day when Allah Almighty will say to Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him): 'Arise and send forth the contingent of Hell: out of every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine to Hell and only one to Paradise.'" This weighed very heavily on the Muslims, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), consoling them, said: "Keep to what is right, take the middle course, and receive glad tidings. By the One in whose Hand is my soul! Compared with the rest of mankind you are just like a mole on the side of a camel, or a mark of coloured hair on the foreleg of an animal. And with you are two creations (groups) that increase whatever they are among: Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog), and those of the disbelievers among the jinn and mankind who have perished."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي قَوْلِهِ : عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى جَاءَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ يُكَلِّمُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ خَلَفٍ ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ : عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يُكْرِمُهُ ، قَالَ قَتَادَةُ : وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقَادِسِيَّةِ وَعَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ وَمَعَهُ رَايَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that, in explaining the saying of Allah Almighty "He frowned and turned away," he said that Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was busy talking with (the idolater chief) Ubayy bin Khalaf, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his blessed face away from him. Thereupon Allah Almighty revealed these verses: "He frowned and turned away." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "After that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) always honoured him and treated him with great respect." Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) informed me: "I saw Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day of the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah; he was wearing armour and had a black banner with him."
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَبَحُّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَشَدَّ حَيَاءً مِنْ عَذْرَاءَ فِي خِدْرِهَا ، وَكَانَ إِذَا كَرِهَ شَيْئًا عُرِفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was even more modest than a veiled virgin in her private quarters, and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked something, the signs of displeasure were recognised in his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face."
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِذَا مَرَّ فِي الطَّرِيقِ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وُجِدَ مِنْهُ رَائِحَةُ الْمِسْكِ ، قَالُوا : مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ الْيَوْمَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that "Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed along any of the streets of Madinah, a fragrance like musk would be found there, so that the people (judging that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had passed) would say: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed along this street today.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَتَى عَلَى أَنْجَشَةَ وَهُوَ يَسُوقُ نِسَاءَهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَنْجَشَةُ رُوَيْدًا لَا تَكْسِرِ الْقَوَارِيرَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Sayyiduna Anjashah (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was driving the camels on which the women were riding, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said (instructing him to slow down the camels): "O Anjashah! Gently! Do not break these delicate glass vessels."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ضَرَبَ عَلَى الْخَمْرِ بِالنِّعَالِ وَالْجَرِيدِ ، وَجَلَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بِيَدِهِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ وَدَنَا النَّاسُ مِنَ الْقُرَى وَالرِّيفِ ، ذَكَرَ ذَاكَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ : اجْعَلْهَا كَأَخَفِّ الْحُدُودِ ، قَالَ : فَجَلَدَ ثَمَانِينَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) struck (as punishment) for drinking wine with sandals and palm stalks, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) too, during his caliphate, flogged with his own hand. Then, when the time of Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) came and people came close to the villages and the countryside (that is, it was feared that this crime would spread through much mixing), he mentioned this matter to the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), whereupon Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) advised: 'Make it equal to the lightest of the prescribed punishments (that is, the punishment for qadhf, false accusation).' So Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) fixed it at eighty (80) lashes."

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ كَذَا قَالَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلَ النَّاسُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى أَلْحَفُوهُ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ ، فَقَالَ : لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا بَيَّنْتُهُ ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ إِذَا لَاحَى يُدْعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَنْ أَبِي ؟ قَالَ : أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ ، ثُمَّ قَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، فَقَالَ : رَضِينَا بِاللهِ رَبًّا ، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا ، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا ، نَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّ الْفِتَنِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَا رَأَيْتُ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ ، إِنَّهُ صُوِّرَتْ لِي الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (so many) questions that they pressed him hard with their insistence, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said (in a state of anger): "Whatever you ask me about, I will make it clear to you." Thereupon a man stood up who, whenever he quarrelled with someone, used to be attributed to someone other than his real father. He asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Who is my (real) father? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your father is Hudhafah." Then Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: 'Radina billahi rabban, wa bil-Islami dinan, wa bi-Muhammadin rasulan, na'udhu billahi min sharri al-fitan' (We are pleased with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion and with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as Messenger, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of trials). The narrator said: After this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have never seen anything like today in good and evil; indeed, Paradise and Hell were depicted before me (and shown to me)."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِنَحْوِهِ ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ فِي حَدِيثِ هِشَامٍ : إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said something similar (with the same meaning as the previous hadith); however, in the narration of Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) the words "in sha Allah" are not mentioned.

(Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) It is as if I am still looking at the sides of those rams with his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed foot placed on them, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was mentioning the name of Allah and proclaiming His greatness."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three qualities; whoever has them has found the sweetness and delight of faith: first, that he loves a person purely for the pleasure of Allah; second, that Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) are dearer to him than everything else; and third, that, after Allah Almighty has rescued him from disbelief, being thrown into the Fire is more preferable to him than returning to disbelief."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If the son of Adam had a valley of wealth, he would seek a second, and if he had a second, he would long for a third. In reality, nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust, and Allah Almighty accepts the repentance of whoever repents." Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I do not know whether these words were part of the revelation sent down by Allah Almighty, or whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say them himself.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sometimes I begin the prayer intending to make it long, then I hear the sound of a child crying, so I shorten my prayer, because I know well the intense distress and restlessness his mother suffers because of his crying."
