They will go out of Islam just as an arrow passes through its prey. Whoever finds them should kill them, for killing them brings a great reward from Allah for the killer."
Hadith 3832
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَظْهَرَ إِسْلَامَهُ سَبْعَةٌ : رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعَمَّارٌ ، وَأُمُّهُ سُمَيَّةُ ، وَصُهَيْبٌ ، وَبِلَالٌ ، وَالْمِقْدَادُ ، فَأَمَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِعَمِّهِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ، وَأَمَّا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمِهِ ، وَأَمَّا سَائِرُهُمْ فَأَخَذَهُمْ الْمُشْرِكُونَ ، فَأَلْبَسُوهُمْ أَدْرَاعَ الْحَدِيدِ ، وَصَهَرُوهُمْ فِي الشَّمْسِ ، فَمَا مِنْهُمْ إِنْسَانٌ إِلَّا وَقَدْ وَاتَاهُمْ عَلَى مَا أَرَادُوا ، إِلَّا بِلَالٌ ، فَإِنَّهُ هَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ فِي اللَّهِ ، وَهَانَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ ، فَأَعْطَوْهُ الْوِلْدَانَ ، وَأَخَذُوا يَطُوفُونَ بِهِ شِعَابَ مَكَّةَ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : أَحَدٌ ، أَحَدٌ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the first seven people to openly declare their Islam were: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) and his mother Sayyidah Sumayyah (may Allah be pleased with her), Sayyiduna Suhaib, Sayyiduna Bilal, and Sayyiduna Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with them). Among them, Allah protected the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) through his uncle Abu Talib, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) through his tribe, and the rest were seized by the polytheists. They would make them wear iron armor and leave them to burn in the sun. Among them, except for Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), there was no one who did not comply with their wishes, for Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) had annihilated himself in the matter of Allah, and he was humiliated by his people. The Quraysh would hand him over to the children, and they would drag him through the streets of Makkah, but still Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) would say, "Ahad, Ahad" (One, One).

Ibn Mu'iz Sa'di, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I went out in the morning to give water to my horse, and as I passed by the mosque of Banu Hanifa, I heard those people saying that Musaylimah is the messenger of Allah. I went to Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, and mentioned this to him. He sent soldiers to bring them, made them repent, and they repented. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, let them go, but he beheaded Abdullah bin Nuwahah. People asked him, "You apprehended a group of people for the same matter, but killed some and let others go. What is the reason for this?" He replied, "This man and Ibn Athal had come to the Prophet (ﷺ) as envoys from Musaylimah the Liar. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked both of them: 'Do you testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?' They said, 'We testify that Musaylimah is the messenger of Allah.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'If I were to kill envoys, I would have beheaded both of you.' For this reason, I have killed him."

Hadith 3845
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَابِسٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَمْدَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمَا سَمَّاهُ لَنَا ، قَالَ : لَمَّا أَرَادَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، جَمَعَ أَصْحَابَهُ ، فَقَالَ : وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ فِيكُمْ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا أَصْبَحَ فِي أَجْنَادِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنَ الدِّينِ وَالْفِقْهِ وَالْعِلْمِ بِالْقُرْآنِ ، إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى حُرُوفٍ ، وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلَانِ لَيَخْتَصِمَانِ أَشَدَّ مَا اخْتَصَمَا فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ ، فَإِذَا قَالَ الْقَارِئُ : هَذَا أَقْرَأَنِي ، قَالَ : أَحْسَنْتَ ، وَإِذَا قَالَ الْآخَرُ : قَالَ : كِلَاكُمَا مُحْسِنٌ ، فَأَقْرَأَنَا : إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ ، وَالْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ، وَالْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ ، وَالْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ ، وَاعْتَبِرُوا ذَاكَ بِقَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ : كَذَبَ وَفَجَرَ ، وَبِقَوْلِهِ إِذَا صَدَّقَهُ : صَدَقْتَ وَبَرَرْتَ ، إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ ، لَا يَخْتَلِفُ وَلَا يُسْتَشَنُّ ، وَلَا يَتْفَهُ لِكَثْرَةِ الرَّدِّ ، فَمَنْ قَرَأَهُ عَلَى حَرْفٍ ، فَلَا يَدَعْهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ ، وَمَنْ قَرَأَهُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْحُرُوفِ ، الَّتِي عَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَا يَدَعْهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَجْحَدْ بِآيَةٍ مِنْهُ ، يَجْحَدْ بِهِ كُلِّهِ ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ كَقَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ : اعْجَلْ ، وَحَيَّ هَلًا ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ رَجُلًا أَعْلَمَ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنِّي لَطَلَبْتُهُ ، حَتَّى أَزْدَادَ عِلْمَهُ إِلَى عِلْمِي ، إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ ، فَصَلُّوا الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا ، وَاجْعَلُوا صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ تَطَوُّعًا ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُعَارَضُ بِالْقُرْآنِ فِي كُلِّ رَمَضَانَ ، وَإِنِّي عَرَضْتُ فِي الْعَامِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، فَأَنْبَأَنِي أَنِّي مُحْسِنٌ ، وَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ مِنْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْعِينَ سُورَةً " .
A student of Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) — who was from Hamdan — says: When Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to travel to Madinah Munawwarah, he gathered his students and said: I hope that the wealth of religion, knowledge of the Qur'an, and jurisprudence that you possess is not possessed by anyone among the Muslim armies. This Qur'an was revealed in several modes (multiple recitations). By Allah! Sometimes two men would argue so intensely about this matter as people can argue about anything. One reciter would say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me to recite it this way, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would approve of it, and when the other would say so, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say, "Both of you are correct." In this way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us. Truth leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. Lying leads to sin, and sin leads to Hell. You can judge from this that some of you say about your companion: "He lied and sinned," and when someone speaks the truth, you say, "You spoke the truth and did a good deed." This Qur'an will neither change nor become old, nor will anyone become bored of it by reciting it repeatedly. Whoever recites it according to one recitation should not abandon the other recitations out of disinterest, because whoever denies any verse of it, it is as if he denies the entire Qur'an. And it is just as if one of you says to his companion, "Hurry up, come here." By Allah! If I knew that anyone knew more of the Qur'an revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than I do, I would have learned from him so that his knowledge would be added to mine. Soon there will come people who will neglect the prayer, so you should perform the prayer on time and also include voluntary prayers with it. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to review the Qur'an every year in Ramadan, but in the year the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, I recited the Qur'an to him twice, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of me. And I memorized seventy surahs by listening from the blessed mouth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ شَقِيقَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " رَأَيْتُ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَى سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى ، وَلَهُ سِتُّ مِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ " ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ عَاصِمًا عَنِ الْأَجْنِحَةِ ؟ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُخْبِرَنِي ، قَالَ : فَأَخْبَرَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنَّ الْجَنَاحَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "At the place of Sidrat al-Muntaha, I saw Jibreel in his original form; he had six hundred wings." When the narrator asked his teacher 'Asim for clarification, he refused to explain. Another student of his said that one wing covers the distance between the east and the west.
Hadith 3863
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ، حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي حُصَيْنٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي شَقِيقٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فِي خُضْرٍ مُعَلَّقٌ بِهِ الدُّرُّ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me wearing a green garment on which pearls were hanging."
Hadith 3864
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ أَبِي الْكَهْتَلَةِ ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ : أَظُنُّهُ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً لَمْ يَرَ جِبْرِيلَ فِي صُورَتِهِ إِلَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ ، أَمَّا مَرَّةٌ ، فَإِنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُرِيَهُ نَفْسَهُ فِي صُورَتِهِ ، فَأَرَاهُ صُورَتَهُ فَسَدَّ الْأُفُقَ ، وَأَمَّا الْأُخْرَى ، فَإِنَّهُ صَعِدَ مَعَهُ حِينَ صَعِدَ بِهِ " ، وَقَوْلُهُ : وَهُوَ بِالأُفُقِ الأَعْلَى ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى فَأَوْحَى إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى سورة النجم آية 7 - 10 ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ جِبْرِيلُ رَبَّهُ ، عَادَ فِي صُورَتِهِ ، وَسَجَدَ ، فَقَوْلُهُ : وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى ، عِنْدَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَى ، إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى ، مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَى ، لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى سورة النجم آية 13 - 18 ، قَالَ : خَلْقَ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام .
It is mostly narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Jibreel (peace be upon him) in his original form only twice. On one occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself requested him to show his original form, so he showed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) his original form, which covered the entire horizon. The second time was when he took the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Mi'raj (Ascension). This is the meaning of this verse: « ﴿وَهُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَى o ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى o فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى o فَأَوْحَى إِلَى عَبْدِهِ مَا أَوْحَى﴾ » [النجم : 7-10] Then when Jibreel (peace be upon him) felt the presence of his Lord, he came in his original form and fell in prostration. This is the meaning of this verse: «﴿وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى o عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى o عِنْدَهَا جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَى o إِذْ يَغْشَى السِّدْرَةَ مَا يَغْشَى o مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَى o لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى﴾» [النجم : 13-18] That is, by this is meant seeing the creation and body of Jibreel (peace be upon him).
Hadith 3865
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ جَعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا ، جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ فِي النَّارِ " . (حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) قَالَ : وَأُخْرَى أَقُولُهَا ، لَمْ أَسْمَعْهَا مِنْهُ : وَمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يَجْعَلُ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا ، أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ مَا اجْتُنِبَ الْمَقْتَلُ .
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that there are two statements, one of which I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the other I say from myself. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever dies in such a state that he associates anyone with Allah, he will enter Hell." And I say that whoever dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, he will enter Paradise, and these prayers become an expiation for the times between them, provided that a person refrains from killing and fighting.
