From the Hadith of Asma' bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her)
Hadith 27560
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , قَالَ أَبِي : وَقُرِئَ عَلَى سُفْيَانَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ , حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ , أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " لَا تَجْمَعْنَ جُوعًا وَكَذِبًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not combine hunger and lying."
Hadith 27561
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ , سَمِعَ شَهْرًا , يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ إِحْدَى نِسَاءِ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ , تَقُولُ : مَرَّ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ فِي نِسْوَةٍ , فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا , وَقَالَ : " إِيَّاكُنَّ وَكُفْرَ الْمُنَعَّمِينَ " , فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , وَمَا كُفْرُ الْمُنَعَّمِينَ ؟ قَالَ : " لَعَلَّ إِحْدَاكُنَّ أَنْ تَطُولَ أَيْمَتُهَا بَيْنَ أَبَوَيْهَا وَتَعْنُسَ , فَيَرْزُقَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ زَوْجًا , وَيَرْزُقَهَا مِنْهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا , فَتَغْضَبَ الْغَضْبَةَ , فَرَاحَتْ تَقُولُ : مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ يَوْمًا خَيْرًا قَطُّ " , وَقَالَ مَرَّةً : " خَيْرًا قَطُّ " .
Hazrat Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her), who belonged to Banu Abdul-Ashhal, says that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by us while we were with some women. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted us with salam and said: "Protect yourselves from being ungrateful to those who do good to you." We asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by being ungrateful to those who do good? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It may be that one of you stays at her parents' home for a long time waiting for a proposal, then Allah grants her a husband and gives her wealth and property through him, and then one day, in anger, she says: 'I have never seen any good from you.'"
Hadith 27562
حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ , حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ , عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ , قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ سِرًّا , فَإِنَّ قَتْلَ الْغَيْلِ يُدْرِكُ الْفَارِسَ , فَيُدَعْثِرُهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِ فَرَسِهِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Do not secretly kill your children, for as a result of intimacy with the wife during the period of breastfeeding, when the nursing child grows up, the horse throws him off its back (he cannot sit firmly on the horse)."
Hadith 27563
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ الْأَوْدِيُّ , عَنْ شَهْرٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ , قَالَتْ : أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأُبَايِعَهُ , فَدَنَوْتُ وَعَلَيَّ سِوَارَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ , فَبَصُرَ بِبَصِيصِهِمَا , فَقَالَ : " أَلْقِي السِّوَارَيْنِ يَا أَسْمَاءُ , أَمَا تَخَافِينَ أَنْ يُسَوِّرَكِ اللَّهُ بِسِوَارٍ مِنْ نَارٍ ؟ " , قَالَتْ : فَأَلْقَيْتُهُمَا , فَمَا أَدْرِي مَنْ أَخَذَهُمَا .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that I came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to pledge allegiance. When I approached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his gaze fell upon the two bangles I was wearing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Asma! Remove these two bangles. Do you not fear that Allah may make you wear two bangles of fire in their place?" So I took them off, and I do not remember who took them after that.
Hadith 27564
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِى ابْنَ يَزِيدَ الْأَوْدِيَّ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ , قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَصْلُحُ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ شَيْءٌ وَلَا بَصِيصُهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Gold and silk do not provide any benefit of brilliance."

It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, his armor was held in pledge.
Hadith 27566
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ , حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَهْرَامَ الْفَزَارِيُّ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ , مِثْلَهُ.
The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.
Hadith 27567
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , عَنْ سُفْيَانَ , عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ , عَنْ شَهْرٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ , قَالَتْ : أَتَانَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُتِيَ بِلَبَنٍ , فَقَالَ : " أَتَشْرَبِينَ ؟ " , قُلْنَ : لَا نَشْتَهِيهِ , فَقَالَ : " لَا تَجْمَعْنَ كَذِبًا وَجُوعًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, and milk was presented to him. He asked the women: "Will you also drink?" They replied: "We do not desire it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not combine hunger and falsehood."
Hadith 27568
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ , أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ , عَنْ قَتَادَةَ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ , قَالَتْ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِهِ , فَقَالَ : " إِذَا كَانَ قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ الدَّجَّالِ بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ , حَبَسَتْ السَّمَاءُ ثُلُثَ قَطْرِهَا , وَحَبَسَتْ الْأَرْضُ ثُلُثَ نَبَاتِهَا , فَإِذَا كَانَتْ السَّنَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ , حَبَسَتْ السَّمَاءُ ثُلُثَيْ قَطْرِهَا , وَحَبَسَتْ الْأَرْضُ ثُلُثَيْ نَبَاتِهَا , فَإِذَا كَانَتْ السَّنَةُ الثَّالِثَةُ , حَبَسَتْ السَّمَاءُ قَطْرَهَا كُلَّهُ وَحَبَسَتْ الْأَرْضُ نَبَاتَهَا كُلَّهُ , فَلَا يَبْقَى ذُو خُفٍّ , وَلَا ظِلْفٍ , إِلَّا هَلَكَ , فَيَقُولُ الدَّجَّالُ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ بَعَثْتُ إِبِلَكَ ضِخَامًا ضُرُوعُهَا , عِظَامًا أَسْنِمَتُهَا , أَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي رَبُّكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : نَعَمْ , فَتَمَثَّلُ لَهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَى صُورَةِ إِبِلِهِ فَيَتَّبِعُهُ , وَيَقُولُ لِلرَّجُلِ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ بَعَثْتُ أَبَاكَ وَابْنَكَ , وَمَنْ تَعْرِفُ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ , أَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي رَبُّكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : نَعَمْ , فَيُمَثِّلُ لَهُ الشَّيَاطِينَ عَلَى صُوَرِهِمْ فَيَتَّبِعُهُ " , ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , وَبَكَى أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ , ثُمَّ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَبْكِي , فَقَالَ : " مَا يُبْكِيكُمْ ؟ " , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنَ الدَّجَّالِ , فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ أَمَةَ أَهْلِي لَتَعْجِنُ عَجِينَهَا , فَمَا تَبْلُغُ حَتَّى تَكَادَ تَفَتَّتُ مِنَ الْجُوعِ , فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَكْفِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَنِ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ يَوْمَئِذٍ التَّكْبِيرُ , وَالتَّسْبِيحُ , وَالتَّحْمِيدُ " , ثُمَّ قَالَ : " لَا تَبْكُوا , فَإِنْ يَخْرُجْ الدَّجَّالُ وَأَنَا فِيكُمْ , فَأَنَا حَجِيجُهُ , وَإِنْ يَخْرُجْ بَعْدِي , فَاللَّهُ خَلِيفَتِي عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his house. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three years before the emergence of Dajjal, the sky will withhold one third of its rain and the earth will withhold one third of its vegetation. In the second year, the sky will withhold two thirds of its rain and the earth will withhold two thirds of its produce. In the third year, the sky will withhold all of its rain and the earth will withhold all of its produce, and every living creature with hooves and cloven feet will perish. At that time, Dajjal will say to a villager: 'Tell me, if I bring your camels back to life, their udders full and large, and their humps great, will you believe that I am your Lord?' He will say, 'Yes!' Then the devils will appear before him in the form of camels, and he will begin to follow Dajjal. In the same way, Dajjal will say to another man: 'Tell me, if I bring your father, your son, and all those among your family whom you recognize back to life, will you believe that I am your Lord?' He will say, 'Yes!' Then the devils will appear before him in those forms, and he will begin to follow Dajjal." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left, and the family members began to weep. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned, we were crying at that time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Why are you crying?" I said: O Messenger of Allah! What you have mentioned about Dajjal—by Allah! The maid in my house is kneading dough, and before she can finish kneading it, I feel as if my heart is being torn apart with hunger. So what will we do on that day? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On that day, for the Muslims, glorifying Allah (takbeer), declaring His perfection (tasbeeh), and praising Him (tahmeed) will suffice instead of food and drink." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not weep. If Dajjal appears while I am among you, I will confront him, and if he emerges after me, then Allah will be my successor over every Muslim."
Hadith 27569
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ , أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ ثَابِتٍ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ , قالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ : إِنَّهُ عَمِلَ غَيْرَ صَالِحٍ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ : " يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ , لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ , إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا , وَلَا يُبَالِي , إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) reciting this verse in this way: «إِنَّهُ عَمِلَ غَيْرَ صَالِحٍ» and I heard him reciting this verse in this way: «يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ , لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ , إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا , وَلَا يُبَالِي , إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ» .
Hadith 27570
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ , حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ , أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ : " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ , مَا يَحْمِلُكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ تَتَابَعُوا فِي الْكَذِبِ , كَمَا يَتَتَابَعُ الْفَرَاشُ فِي النَّارِ ؟ كُلُّ الْكَذِبِ يُكْتَبُ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ : رَجُلٌ كَذَبَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ لِيُرْضِيَهَا , أَوْ رَجُلٌ كَذَبَ فِي خَدِيعَةِ حَرْبٍ , أَوْ رَجُلٌ كَذَبَ بَيْنَ امْرَأَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that she heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying during a sermon: O people! What compels you to fall into lying “like moths fall into the fire”? Every lie of the son of Adam is written against him, except in three cases: one is the man who lies to please his wife, the second is the man who lies in war, and the third is the man who lies to reconcile between two Muslims.
Hadith 27571
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ , أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ , عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ , عَنْ شَهْرِ ابْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ , قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَمْكُثُ الدَّجَّالُ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً , السَّنَةُ كَالشَّهْرِ , وَالشَّهْرُ كَالْجُمُعَةِ , وَالْجُمُعَةُ كَالْيَوْمِ , وَالْيَوْمُ كَاضْطِرَامِ السَّعْفَةِ فِي النَّارِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Dajjal will remain on the earth for forty years; one of his years will be like a month, one month like a week, one week like a day, and one day will be like a spark flaring up."
Hadith 27572
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ هُوَ ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمَعَ نِسَاءَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لِلْبَيْعَةِ ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أَسْمَاءُ : أَلَا تَحْسُرُ لَنَا عَنْ يَدِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنِّي لَسْتُ أُصَافِحُ النِّسَاءَ ، وَلَكِنْ آخُذُ عَلَيْهِنَّ " ، وَفِي النِّسَاءِ خَالَةٌ لَهَا , عَلَيْهَا قُلْبَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَخَوَاتِيمُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَا هَذِهِ ، هَلْ يَسُرُّكِ أَنْ يُحَلِّيَكِ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ سِوَارَيْنِ وَخَوَاتِيمَ ؟ " ، فَقَالَتْ : أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا خَالَتِي ، اطْرَحِي مَا عَلَيْكِ ، فَطَرَحَتْهُ ، فَحَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ : وَاللَّهِ يَا بُنَيَّ لَقَدْ طَرَحَتْهُ ، فَمَا أَدْرِي مَنْ لَقَطَهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ ؟ ، وَلَا الْتَفَتَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ إِلَيْهِ ، قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ إِحْدَاهُنَّ تَصْلَفُ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا إِذَا لَمْ تُمَلَّحْ لَهُ ، أَوْ تَحَلَّى لَهُ ، قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا عَلَى إِحْدَاكُنَّ أَنْ تَتَّخِذَ قُرْطَيْنِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ، وَتَتَّخِذَ لَهَا جُمَانَتَيْنِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ، فَتُدْرِجَهُ بَيْنَ أَنَامِلِهَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ زَعْفَرَانٍ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ كَالذَّهَبِ يَبْرُقُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered the Muslim women for allegiance (bay‘ah). Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! Why do you not extend your hand for us? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I do not shake hands with women, but I take the pledge verbally." Among those women was an aunt of Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) who was wearing gold bangles and gold rings. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O woman! Do you like that Allah, the Exalted, should make you wear bangles and rings of fire on the Day of Resurrection?" She said: O Messenger of Allah! I seek refuge with Allah from that. I said to my aunt: Aunt! Take them off and throw them away. So she took them off and threw them away. Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) says: By Allah! When she took them off and threw them away, I do not remember anyone picking them up from their place, nor did any of us even glance at them. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah! If a woman does not adorn herself with jewelry, she becomes insignificant in the eyes of her husband? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no harm for you in making earrings of silver and having pearls set in them, and filling their holes with a little saffron, which will make them shine like gold."
Hadith 27573
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَ : قال ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ : " إِنَّ مَعْمَرًا شَرِبَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ بِأَنقَعَ " ، قال عبد الله : قَالَ أَبِي : وَمَاتَ مَعْمَرٌ وَلَهُ ثَمَانٍ وَخَمْسُونَ سَنَةً .
Abdur Razzaq, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates the statement of Ibn Jurayj that Ma'mar has drunk the pure wine of knowledge. The son of Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, says that my father said: Ma'mar passed away at the age of fifty-eight.
Hadith 27574
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " الْخَيْلُ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ مَعْقُودٌ أَبَدًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَمَنْ رَبَطَهَا عُدَّةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَأَنْفَقَ عَلَيْهَا احْتِسَابًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، فَإِنَّ شِبَعَهَا وَجُوعَهَا , وَرِيَّهَا , وَظَمَأَهَا , وَأَرْوَاثَهَا , وَأَبْوَالَهَا , فَلَاحٌ فِي مَوَازِينِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَمَنْ رَبَطَهَا رِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً ، وَفَرَحًا وَمَرَحًا ، فَإِنَّ شِبَعَهَا وَجُوعَهَا ، وَرِيَّهَا وَظَمَأَهَا ، وَأَرْوَاثَهَا وَأَبْوَالَهَا خُسْرَانٌ فِي مَوَازِينِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Goodness has been tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection. So whoever keeps these horses as equipment in the way of Allah and spends on them with the intention of reward, then their being full or hungry, quenched or thirsty, and even their urine and dung will be a cause of success for him in his record of deeds on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever keeps these horses for show, pride, and arrogance, then their being full or hungry, quenched or thirsty, and their urine and dung will be a cause of loss for him in his record of deeds on the Day of Resurrection."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي شَيْبَانَ ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَتْ : " إِنِّي لَآخِذَةٌ بِزِمَامِ الْعَضْبَاءِ نَاقَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , إِذْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَائِدَةُ كُلُّهَا ، فَكَادَتْ مِنْ ثِقَلِهَا تَدُقُّ بِعَضُدِ النَّاقَةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Surah Al-Ma'idah was completely revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I was holding the rein of his she-camel "Adba’", and due to the weight of the revelation, it felt as if the foreleg of the camel would break.
Hadith 27576
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَا : ثَنَا شَيْبَانُ ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ ، عَنْ شَهْرٍ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَتْ : أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَرَابٍ ، فَدَارَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ صَائِمٌ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهُ ، قَالَ لَهُ : " اشْرَبْ " ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يُفْطِرُ , وَيَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ ، فَقَالَ : يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا صَامَ مَنْ صَامَ الْأَبَدَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that once a drink was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also offered it to the people. As the vessel went around, it reached a man who was fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told him to drink as well. Someone said, "O Messenger of Allah! He never leaves fasting; he always fasts." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who always fasts has no (real) fast."
Hadith 27577
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، وَعَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ , قَالَ : ثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَتْهُ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ تَحَلَّتْ قِلَادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، جُعِلَ فِي عُنُقِهَا مِثْلُهَا مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ جَعَلَتْ فِي أُذُنِهَا خُرْصَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، جُعِلَ فِي أُذُنِهَا مِثْلُهَا مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : قَالَ : ثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : " وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ جَعَلَتْ فِي أُذُنِهَا خُرْصًا , جُعِلَ فِي أُذُنِهَا مِثْلُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The woman who wears a gold necklace, on the Day of Resurrection a similar necklace of fire will be put around her neck, and the woman who wears gold earrings, similar earrings of fire will be put in her ears on the Day of Resurrection."
Hadith 27578
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ السَّرَّاجُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ شَهْرَ بْنَ حَوْشَبٍ , يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْضُرُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ النِّسَاءِ ، فَأَبْصَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةً عَلَيْهَا سِوَارَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : " أَيَسُرُّكِ أَنْ يُسَوِّرَكِ اللَّهُ سِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ نَارٍ ؟ ! " ، قَالَتْ : فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ ، قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ : فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي أَهِيَ نَزَعَتْهُ ، أَمْ أَنَا نَزَعْتُهُ ؟ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to pledge allegiance. When I came near the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his gaze fell upon the two bangles I was wearing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Asma! Take off these two bangles. Do you not fear that Allah may make you wear two bangles of fire in exchange for them?" So I took them off, and I do not remember who took them after that.
Hadith 27579
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِي ، فَذَكَرَ الدَّجَّالَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ ، سَنَةٌ تُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءُ ثُلُثَ قَطْرِهَا ، وَالْأَرْضُ ثُلُثَ نَبَاتِهَا ، وَالثَّانِيَةُ تُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءُ ثُلُثَيْ قَطْرِهَا ، وَالْأَرْضُ ثُلُثَيْ نَبَاتِهَا ، وَالثَّالِثَةُ تُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءُ قَطْرَهَا كُلَّهُ ، وَالْأَرْضُ نَبَاتَهَا كُلَّهُ ، فَلَا يَبْقَى ذَاتُ ضِرْسٍ ، وَلَا ذَاتُ ظِلْفٍ مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ إِلَّا هَلَكَتْ ، وَإِنَّ أَشَدَّ فِتْنَتِهِ : أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ ، فَيَقُولَ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَحْيَيْتُ لَكَ إِبِلَكَ ، أَلَسْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي رَبُّكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : فَيَقُولُ : " بَلَى ، فَتَمَثَّلَ الشَّيَاطِينُ لَهُ نَحْوَ إِبِلِهِ ، كَأَحْسَنِ مَا تَكُونُ ضُرُوعُهَا ، وَأَعْظَمِهِ أَسْنِمَةً " ، قَالَ : " وَيَأْتِي الرَّجُلَ قَدْ مَاتَ أَخُوهُ وَمَاتَ أَبُوهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَحْيَيْتُ لَكَ أَبَاكَ ، وَأَحْيَيْتُ لَكَ أَخَاكَ ، أَلَسْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي رَبُّكَ ؟ ، فَيَقُولُ : بَلَى ، فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ نَحْوَ أَبِيهِ ، وَنَحْوَ أَخِيهِ " ، قَالَتْ : ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحَاجَةٍ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ، قَالَتْ : وَالْقَوْمُ فِي اهْتِمَامٍ وَغَمٍّ مِمَّا حَدَّثَهُمْ بِهِ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَخَذَ بِلُجْمَتَيِ الْبَابِ ، وَقَالَ : " مَهْيَمْ أَسْمَاءُ ؟ " ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَقَدْ خَلَعْتَ أَفْئِدَتَنَا بِذِكْرِ الدَّجَّالِ ، قَالَ : " وَإِنْ يَخْرُجْ وَأَنَا حَيٌّ ، فَأَنَا حَجِيجُهُ ، وَإِلَّا فَإِنَّ رَبِّي خَلِيفَتِي عَلَى كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ " ، قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ لَنَعْجِنُ عَجِينَتَنَا ، فَمَا نَخْتَبِزُهَا حَتَّى نَجُوعَ ، فَكَيْفَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ؟ ، قَالَ : " يَجْزِيهِمْ مَا يَجْزِي أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ مِنَ التَّسْبِيحِ وَالتَّقْدِيسِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his house. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three years before the emergence of Dajjal, the sky will withhold one third of its rain and the earth will withhold one third of its vegetation. In the second year, the sky will withhold two thirds of its rain and the earth will withhold two thirds of its produce. In the third year, the sky will withhold all of its rain and the earth will withhold all of its produce, and every living creature with hooves and cloven feet will perish. At that time, Dajjal will say to a villager, 'Tell me, if I bring your camels back to life, their udders full and large, and their humps great, will you believe that I am your Lord?' He will say, 'Yes!' Then the devils will appear before him in the form of camels, and he will begin to follow Dajjal. In the same way, Dajjal will say to another man, 'Tell me, if I bring your father, your son, and all those among your family whom you recognize back to life, will you believe that I am your Lord?' He will say, 'Yes!' Then the devils will appear before him in those forms, and he will begin to follow Dajjal." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left, and the family members began to weep. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned, we were crying at that time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Why are you crying?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah! What you have mentioned about Dajjal—by Allah! The maid in my house is kneading dough, and before she can finish kneading it, I feel as if my heart is being torn apart from hunger. So what will we do on that day?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On that day, for the Muslims, glorifying Allah (takbeer), declaring His perfection (tasbeeh), and praising Him (tahmeed) will suffice instead of food and drink." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not weep. If Dajjal appears while I am among you, I will confront him, and if he emerges after me, then Allah will be my successor over every Muslim."
Hadith 27580
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا شَهْرٌ ، قَالَ : وَحَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَلَسَ مَجْلِسًا مَرَّةً يُحَدِّثُهُمْ ، عَنْ أَعْوَرِ الدَّجَّالِ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَهْيَمْ " ، وَكَانَتْ كَلِمَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَأَلَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ ، يَقُولُ : " مَهْيَمْ " ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ : " فَمَنْ حَضَرَ مَجْلِسِي وَسَمِعَ قَوْلِي ، فَلْيُبَلِّغْ الشَّاهِدُ مِنْكُمْ الْغَائِبَ ، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ صَحِيحٌ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ ، وَأَنَّ الدَّجَّالَ أَعْوَرُ ، مَمْسُوحُ الْعَيْنِ ، بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ مَكْتُوبٌ كَافِرٌ ، يَقْرَؤُهُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ كَاتِبٍ وَغَيْرِ كَاتِبٍ ".
The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain, however, there is this addition in it that whoever is present in my gathering and hears my words, then those present among you should convey these words to those who are absent, and be certain that Allah Almighty is sound and whole, He is not one-eyed, whereas the Dajjal will be blind in one eye and one eye will be wiped out, and between his two eyes will be written "disbeliever" (kafir), which every believer—whether he knows how to read and write or not—will be able to read.
Hadith 27581
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ ، عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، يُقَالُ لَهَا : أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ سَكَنٍ ، قَالَتْ : لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، صَاحَتْ أُمُّهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَلَا يَرْفَأُ دَمْعُكِ , وَيَذْهَبُ حُزْنُكِ ؟ ، فَإِنَّ ابْنَكِ أَوَّلُ مَنْ ضَحِكَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ، وَاهْتَزَّ لَهُ الْعَرْشُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Hazrat Saad bin Muadh (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, his mother began to weep and wail. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why are your tears not stopping and why is your grief not departing, when your son is the first person at whom Allah smiled and His Throne shook?"
Hadith 27582
حَدَّثَنَا هَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الْعَجْلَانِ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " الْعَقِيقَةُ عَنِ الْغُلَامِ شَاتَانِ مُكَافَأَتَانِ ، وَعَنِ الْجَارِيَةِ شَاةٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For a boy, two goats should be sacrificed for 'Aqiqah, and for a girl, one goat."
Hadith 27583
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا حَفْصٌ السَّرَّاجُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ شَهْرًا ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ قُعُودٌ عِنْدَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " لَعَلَّ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ مَا يَفْعَلُ بِأَهْلِهِ ، وَلَعَلَّ امْرَأَةً تُخْبِرُ بِمَا فَعَلَتْ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا " ، فَأَرَمَّ الْقَوْمُ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِي وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُنَّ لَيَقُلْنَ , وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَفْعَلُونَ ، قَالَ : " فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا ، فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ مِثْلُ الشَّيْطَانِ ، لَقِيَ شَيْطَانَةً فِي طَرِيقٍ ، فَغَشِيَهَا وَالنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that once she was present in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and at that time many men and women were gathered around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It may happen that in a certain era, men will begin to tell what they do with their wives, and women will begin to tell what they do with their husbands?" The people remained silent at this, so I said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, women do say such things and men also describe them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "But you should not do so, because its example is like a devil meeting a she-devil on the road and committing adultery with her in front of the people."
Hadith 27584
حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَتْهُ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ تَحَلَّتْ قِلَادَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، جُعِلَ فِي عُنُقِهَا مِثْلُهَا مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَأَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ جَعَلَتْ فِي أُذُنِهَا خُرْصًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، جُعِلَ فِي أُذُنِهَا مِثْلُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The woman who wears a gold necklace, on the Day of Resurrection a similar necklace of fire will be put around her neck, and the woman who wears gold earrings, similar earrings of fire will be put in her ears on the Day of Resurrection."

حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِى ابْنَ صَالِحٍ ، عَنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ مَوْلَى أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ ، تَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ سِرًّا ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ , إِنَّهُ لَيُدْرِكُ الْفَارِسَ فَيُدَعْثِرُهُ " ، قَال : قُلْتُ : مَا يَعْنِي ؟ قَالَ : الْغِيلَةُ ، يَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ تُرْضِعُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Do not secretly kill your children, for as a result of intimacy with the wife during the period of breastfeeding, when the nursing child grows up, the horse throws him off its back (he cannot sit firmly on the horse)."
Hadith 27586
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ حَمَّادَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ ، وَذَكَرَ الْجَهْمِيَّةَ ، فقال : " إِنَّمَا يُحَاوِلُونَ أَنْ لَيْسَ فِي السَّمَاءِ شَيْءٌ " .
Hammad bin Zaid, while mentioning the Jahmiyyah sect once, said that these people say among themselves that there is nothing in the sky.

Hadith 27588
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ ، قَالَ : ثَنَا شَهْرٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ كَانَ يَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِهِ , آوَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَكَانَ هُوَ بَيْتُهُ ، يَضْطَجِعُ فِيهِ ، فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْجِدَ لَيْلَةً ، فَوَجَدَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ نَائِمًا مُنْجَدِلًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَنَكَتَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرِجْلِهِ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى جَالِسًا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَلَا أَرَاكَ نَائِمًا ؟ " ، قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَأَيْنَ أَنَامُ ، هَلْ لِي مِنْ بَيْتٍ غَيْرُهُ ؟ ، فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَ لَهُ : " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنْهُ ؟ " ، قَالَ : إِذَنْ أَلْحَقَ بِالشَّامِ ، فَإِنَّ الشَّامَ أَرْضُ الْهِجْرَةِ ، وَأَرْضُ الْمَحْشَرِ ، وَأَرْضُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ، فَأَكُونُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا ، قَالَ لَهُ : " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنَ الشَّامِ ؟ " ، قَالَ : إِذَنْ أَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِ ، فَيَكُونَ هُوَ بَيْتِي وَمَنْزِلِي ، قَالَ لَهُ : " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنْهُ الثَّانِيَةَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : إِذَنْ آخُذَ سَيْفِي , فَأُقَاتِلَ عَنِّي حَتَّى أَمُوتَ ، قَالَ : فَكَشَّرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَثْبَتَهُ بِيَدِهِ ، قَالَ : " أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : بَلَى ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَنْقَادُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ قَادُوكَ ، وَتَنْسَاقُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ سَاقُوكَ ، حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) with reference to Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). When I finished my work, I would come and lie down in the mosque. One day, while I was lying down, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came and nudged me with his blessed foot. I sat up straight. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr! What will you do when you are expelled from Madinah?" I replied: I will return to the Prophet's Mosque and my house. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "And when you are expelled from there as well, what will you do?" I replied: I will go to Syria, which is the land of migration, the land of resurrection, and the land of the Prophets. I will take up residence there. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If you are expelled from there as well, what will you do?" I replied: I will go back there again. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "If you are expelled from there again?" I replied: At that time, I will take up my sword and whoever tries to expel me, I will strike him with my sword. Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his blessed hand on my shoulder and said three times: "Abu Dharr! Be forgiving, go wherever they take you, even if your ruler is an Abyssinian slave, until you meet me in this state."
Hadith 27589
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، قَالَ : حدثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةَ ، تُحَدِّثُ ، زَعَمَتْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمًا ، وَعُصْبَةٌ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ قُعُودٌ ، فَأَلْوَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَيْهِنَّ بِالسَّلَامِ ، قَالَ : " إِيَّاكُنَّ وَكُفْرَانَ الْمُنَعَّمِينَ ، إِيَّاكُنَّ وَكُفْرَانَ الْمُنَعَّمِينَ " ، قَالَتْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مِنْ كُفْرَانِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " بَلَى ، إِنَّ إِحْدَاكُنَّ تَطُولُ أَيْمَتُهَا ، وَيَطُولُ تَعْنِيسُهَا ، ثُمَّ يُزَوِّجُهَا اللَّهُ الْبَعْلَ ، وَيُفِيدُهَا الْوَلَدَ ، وَقُرَّةَ الْعَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ تَغْضَبُ الْغَضْبَةَ ، فَتُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ مَا رَأَتْ مِنْهُ سَاعَةَ خَيْرٍ قَطُّ ، فَذَلِكَ مِنْ كُفْرَانِ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَذَلِكَ مِنْ كُفْرَانِ الْمُنَعَّمِينَ " .
Hazrat Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her), who belonged to Banu Abdul-Ashhal, says that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by us while we were with some women. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted us with salam and said: "Protect yourselves from being ungrateful to those who do good to you." We asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by being ungrateful to those who do good? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It may be that one of you stays at her parents' home for a long time waiting for a proposal, then Allah grants her a husband and also grants her wealth and property through him, and then one day, in anger, she says: 'I have never seen any good from you.'"
Hadith 27590
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، قَالَا : ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ سَكَنٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ ، قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ سِرًّا ، فَإِنَّ الْغَيْلَ يُدْرِكُ الْفَارِسَ فَيُدَعْثِرُهُ مِنْ فَوْقِ فَرَسِهِ " ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ يَزِيدَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةُ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Do not secretly kill your children, for as a result of intimacy with the wife during the period of breastfeeding, when the suckling child grows up, the horse throws him off its back (he cannot sit firmly on the horse).
Hadith 27591
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ ، أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ يَزِيدَ بْنِ السَّكَنِ ، إِحْدَى نِسَاءِ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ، دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا يَوْمًا ، فَقَرَّبَتْ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا ، فَقَالَ : لَا أَشْتَهِيهِ ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنِّي قَيَّنْتُ عَائِشَةَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ ، فَدَعَوْتُهُ لِجِلْوَتِهَا ، فَجَاءَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَنْبِهَا ، فَأُتِيَ بِعُسِّ لَبَنٍ ، فَشَرِبَ ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَخَفَضَتْ رَأْسَهَا وَاسْتَحْيَا ، قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ : فَانْتَهَرْتُهَا ، وَقُلْتُ لَهَا : خُذِي مِنْ يَدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : فَأَخَذَتْ ، فَشَرِبَتْ شَيْئًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَعْطِي تِرْبَكِ " ، قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ : فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، بَلْ خُذْهُ ، فَاشْرَبْ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ نَاوِلْنِيهِ مِنْ يَدِكَ ، فَأَخَذَهُ ، فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِيهِ ، قَالَتْ : فَجَلَسْتُ ، ثُمَّ وَضَعْتُهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتِي ، ثُمَّ طَفِقْتُ أُدِيرُهُ ، وَأَتْبَعُهُ بِشَفَتَيَّ لِأُصِيبَ مِنْهُ مَشْرَبَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِنِسْوَةٍ عِنْدِي : " نَاوِلِيهِنَّ " ، فَقُلْنَ : لَا نَشْتَهِيهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَجْمَعْنَ جُوعًا وَكَذِبًا " ، فَهَلْ أَنْتِ مُنْتَهِيَةٌ أَنْ تَقُولِي لَا أَشْتَهِيهِ ؟ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَيْ أُمَّهْ ، لَا أَعُودُ أَبَدًا .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that she was the one who prepared Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and presented her to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). There were some other women with me as well. A bowl of milk was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which he first drank himself, then handed the bowl to Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). She felt shy. We said to her, "Do not return the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) hand, rather take the bowl." So, feeling shy, she took the bowl and drank a little milk from it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give it to me." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank again and handed it to me. I sat down and placed the bowl on my knee and began to turn it so that I could find the place where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had placed his lips. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give it to your companions." We said, "We do not desire it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not combine hunger and falsehood. Will you refrain now or not?" I said, "Mother! I will never do it again."

It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Surah Al-Ma'idah was completely revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I was holding the rein of his she-camel "Adba’", and due to the weight of the revelation, it felt as if the foreleg of the camel would break.

And whoever keeps those horses for show, pride, and arrogance, then their being full or hungry, quenched or thirsty, and their dung and urine will become a cause of loss for him in his record of deeds on the Day of Judgment.”
