Hadith 4345
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ ، وَمَنْصُورٍ ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ ، أخبروني أنهم سمعوا أبا وائل يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " سِبَابُ الْمُسْلِمِ فُسُوقٌ ، وَقِتَالُهُ كُفْرٌ " ، قَالَ زُبَيْدٌ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي وَائِلٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ : أَأَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
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: "Abusing a Muslim is wickedness and fighting him is disbelief." The narrator says: I asked Abu Wa'il twice: Did you hear this directly from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)? He replied: Yes!
Hadith 4346
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُوعَكُ ، فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَيْهِ ، وَقُلْتُ : إِنَّكَ تُوعَكُ وَعْكًا شَدِيدًا ؟ قَالَ : " إِنِّي أُوعَكُ كَمَا يُوعَكُ رَجُلَانِ مِنْكُمْ " ، قَالَ قُلْتُ ذَاكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ أَجْرَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ " أَجَلْ ، مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ يُصِيبُهُ مَرَضٌ فَمَا سِوَاهُ إِلَّا حَطَّ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَطَايَاهُ ، كَمَا تَحُطُّ الشَّجَرَةُ وَرَقَهَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself in the court of the Messenger, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a severe fever. I touched him and asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Do you also have such a severe fever? He said: "Yes! I have a fever equal to that of two men among you." I said: Then will you also receive double the reward? He said: "Yes! By the One in Whose hand is my soul, there is no Muslim on the face of the earth who is afflicted with any hardship—whether it is illness or something else—and Allah does not, because of it, shed his sins just as a tree sheds its leaves."
Hadith 4347
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَعَلْقَمَةُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ ، " فَلَمَّا مَالَتْ الشَّمْسُ ، أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ ، وَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَبِيَدِ صَاحِبِي ، فَجَعَلَنَا عَنْ نَاحِيَتَيْهِ ، وَقَامَ بَيْنَنَا " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : هَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَصْنَعُ إِذَا كَانُوا ثَلَاثَةً ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِنَا . فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ أَئِمَّةٌ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِهَا ، فَلَا تَنْتَظِرُوهُمْ بِهَا ، وَاجْعَلُوا الصَّلَاةَ مَعَهُمْ سُبْحَةً " .
Aswad says that once, at noon, I was present with Alqamah in the company of Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The prayer was established, so both of us stood behind him. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) took hold of me with one hand and my companion with the other hand and pulled us forward until each of us was at a corner, and he himself stood between us. Then he said that when there were three people, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would do the same. Then, after leading us in prayer, he said: Soon there will come rulers who will delay the prayer from its appointed time. Do not wait for them, and join them with the intention of nafl (supererogatory) prayer.
Hadith 4348
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ ، فَأَيُّكُمْ مَا شَكَّ فِي صَلَاتِهِ ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحْرَى ذَلِكَ الصَّوَابَ ، فَلْيُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِ وَيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ " .
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I am also a human being; just as you forget, I too can forget. And if any of you ever becomes doubtful in his prayer, then he should carefully consider and act upon what he thinks is most correct, and after saying the salam, he should perform two prostrations of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw)."
Hadith 4349
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَتَغَدَّى ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ ، ادْنُ إِلَى الْغَدَاءِ ، فَقَالَ : أَوَلَيْسَ الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ ؟ ! قَالَ : وَمَا هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا هُوَ يَوْمٌ كَانَ يَصُومُهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ رَمَضَانَ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ تُرِكَ " .
Abdur Rahman bin Yazid says that once on the day of Ashura, Ash'ath bin Qais came to Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who was eating at that time. He said: O Abu Muhammad! Come forward to eat. Ash'ath said: Is today not the day of Ashura? Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Do you even know what the day of Ashura is? Before the command of fasting in Ramadan was revealed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast on this day. When the command of fasting in Ramadan was revealed, this fast was abandoned.
Hadith 4350
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ النَّظَائِرَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَقْرَؤُهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثِنْتَيْنِ فِي رَكْعَةٍ " .

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will wait for you at the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar.

It will be said: 'You do not know what innovations they introduced after you.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Surah Nasr was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he began to say frequently: "«سُبْحَانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ اللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ»" "Glory is to You, O our Lord! And all praise is for You. O Allah! Forgive me, for surely You are the Acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful."
Hadith 4353
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ خَطَّ حَوْلَهُ ، فَكَانَ يَجِيءُ أَحَدُهُمْ مِثْلُ سَوَادِ النَّخْلِ ، وَقَالَ لِي : " لَا تَبْرَحْ مَكَانَكَ " ، فَأَقْرَأَهُمْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى الزُّطَّ ، قَالَ : " كَأَنَّهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ " . (حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمَعَكَ مَاءٌ ؟ " قُلْتُ : لَا ، قَالَ : " أَمَعَكَ نَبِيذٌ ؟ " قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ " ، فَتَوَضَّأَ بِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the night of the jinn, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line around him. A man from among the jinn would come like several date-palm trees. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Do not move from your place." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught them the Noble Qur'an. When Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the Jats, he said that they were people like them. On that occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also asked me, "Do you have water?" I replied, "No." He said, "Do you have nabidh?" I replied, "Yes!" So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution with that.
Hadith 4354
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ، وَابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ : عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي ، لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If I were to take a close friend (khalil) from among my Ummah, I would have taken Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)."
Hadith 4355
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ ، عَنْ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْأَقْمَرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَلْقَى اللَّهَ غَدًا مُسْلِمًا ، فَلْيُحَافِظْ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ ، حَيْثُ يُنَادَى بِهِنَّ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ شَرَعَ سُنَنَ الْهُدَى لِنَبِيِّهِ ، وَإِنَّهُنَّ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْهُدَى ، وَإِنِّي لَا أَحْسِبُ مِنْكُمْ أَحَدًا إِلَّا لَهُ مَسْجِدٌ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ ، فَلَوْ صَلَّيْتُمْ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ ، وَتَرَكْتُمْ مَسَاجِدَكُمْ ، لَتَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَلَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ لَضَلَلْتُمْ " .
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whoever wishes to meet Allah tomorrow on the Day of Resurrection in a state of Islam should be regular in offering these obligatory prayers whenever the call for them is given, for they are among the ways of guidance. Allah has prescribed the ways of guidance for your Prophet. Every one of you has a mosque in his house; if you start praying in your houses as these people who stay behind do, you will have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet, and if you abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet, you will go astray.
Hadith 4356
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ : إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ ، كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ : " سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ، سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Surah Nasr was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he began to say frequently: "«سُبْحَانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ اللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ»" "Glory is to You, O our Lord! And all praise is for You. O Allah! Forgive me, for surely You are the Acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a cave, and there Surah Mursalat was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). We began to memorize it after hearing it from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Suddenly, a snake came out of its hole. We quickly moved forward, but it outpaced us and went back into its hole. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "It has escaped from your harm just as you have escaped from its harm."

Abdur Rahman bin Yazid says that on the occasion of Hajj, Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) stoned the Jamrah Aqabah from the bottom of the valley while riding, throwing seven pebbles, and reciting takbeer with each pebble.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the moon was split into two parts. At that time, we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at Mina, until one part of the moon went behind the mountain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bear witness."

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyiduna 'Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) had superiority over all people in four matters:
① Regarding the captives of the Battle of Badr, Sayyiduna 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) advised that they be killed, and Allah revealed this verse in agreement with him: « ﴿لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ﴾ » [الأنفال : 68]

He replied that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Laylat al-Qadr is in the middle of the last seven nights of Ramadan, and after this night, when the morning comes and the sun rises, it is completely clear, and it has no rays." I was just observing this, and I found it exactly as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said, so I said that Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّخَعِيُّ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : وَقَفْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ الْجَمْرَةِ ، فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا ، قَالَ : هَذَا وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ ، مَوْقِفُ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ يَوْمَ رَمَاهَا ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ " رَمَاهَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ بِسَبْعِ حَصَيَاتٍ ، يُكَبِّرُ مَعَ كُلِّ حَصَاةٍ رَمَى بِهَا ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ " .
Abdur Rahman bin Yazid says that once I stood with Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) in front of Jamrah Aqabah. He stood there and said: By Allah, besides whom there is no deity, it was at this very place that the one upon whom Surah Al-Baqarah was revealed stood while performing the stoning. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) threw seven pebbles at it, saying takbeer with each pebble, and then returned.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ ، أَظُنُّهُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْمِسْوَرِ ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؛ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي أُمَّةٍ قَبْلِي إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ حَوَارِيُّونَ وَأَصْحَابٌ ، يَأْخُذُونَ بِسُنَّتِهِ ، وَيَقْتَدُونَ بِأَمْرِهِ ، ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا تَخْلُفُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ خُلُوفٌ ، يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ ، وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا لَا يُؤْمَرُونَ " .
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: "Before me, whenever Allah sent a prophet to any community, He also appointed disciples and companions for him from among his community who would act upon the prophet’s way (sunnah) and follow his commands. But after them, there would come some unworthy people who would say what they did not do themselves, and would do things that they had not been commanded to do."
Hadith 4380
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فِي قَرِيبٍ مِنْ ثَمَانِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ، لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا قُرَشِيٌّ ، لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ صَفْحَةَ وُجُوهِ رِجَالٍ قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ وُجُوهِهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ، فَذَكَرُوا النِّسَاءَ ، فَتَحَدَّثُوا فِيهِنَّ ، فَتَحَدَّثَ مَعَهُمْ ، حَتَّى أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَسْكُتَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَتَشَهَّدَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَمَّا بَعْدُ ، يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ ، " فَإِنَّكُمْ أَهْلُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ ، مَا لَمْ تَعْصُوا اللَّهَ ، فَإِذَا عَصَيْتُمُوهُ بَعَثَ إِلَيْكُمْ مَنْ يَلْحَاكُمْ كَمَا يُلْحَى هَذَا الْقَضِيبُ " لِقَضِيبٍ فِي يَدِهِ ، ثُمَّ لَحَا قَضِيبَهُ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ أَبْيَضُ يَصْلِدُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting near the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with about eighty Qurayshi men—there was no one from any tribe other than Quraysh among them. By Allah! I have never seen the bright side of men's faces more beautiful than I saw on that day among those people. During the conversation, the topic of women came up and people began to talk about women. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also participated in the conversation with them. Then I wished that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would become silent, so I came before him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed and after reciting the testimony (the words of shahada), he said: "As for what follows! O group of Quraysh! You are the people worthy of this leadership as long as you do not disobey Allah. When you become involved in disobedience to Allah, then Allah will impose upon you a person who will strip you just as this branch is stripped."—At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a branch in his blessed hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stripped it, and it turned out to be white, solid, and smooth from inside.
Hadith 4381
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُمَيْسٍ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي فَزَارَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ ، وَهُوَ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، إِذْ قَالَ : " لِيَقُمْ مَعِي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ ، وَلَا يَقُومَنَّ مَعِي رَجُلٌ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنَ الْغِشِّ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ " ، قَالَ : فَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ ، وَأَخَذْتُ إِدَاوَةً ، وَلَا أَحْسَبُهَا إِلَّا مَاءً ، فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِأَعْلَى مَكَّةَ رَأَيْتُ أَسْوِدَةً مُجْتَمِعَةً ، قَالَ : فَخَطَّ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطًّا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " قُمْ هَاهُنَا حَتَّى آتِيَكَ " ، قَالَ : فَقُمْتُ ، وَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَتَثَوَّرُونَ إِلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَسَمَرَ مَعَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا ، حَتَّى جَاءَنِي مَعَ الْفَجْرِ ، فَقَالَ لِي : " مَا زِلْتَ قَائِمًا يَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ؟ " قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ له : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَوَلَمْ تَقُلْ لِي : " قُمْ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ ؟ ! " قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي : " هَلْ مَعَكَ مِنْ وَضُوءٍ " ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، فَفَتَحْتُ الْإِدَاوَةَ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ نَبِيذٌ ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَخَذْتُ الْإِدَاوَةَ ، وَلَا أَحْسَبُهَا إِلَّا مَاءً ، فَإِذَا هُوَ نَبِيذٌ ، قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَمْرَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ ، وَمَاءٌ طَهُورٌ " ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ مِنْهَا ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ يُصَلِّي أَدْرَكَهُ شَخْصَانِ مِنْهُمْ ، قَالَا لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا نُحِبُّ أَنْ تَؤُمَّنَا فِي صَلَاتِنَا ، قَالَ : " فَصَفَّهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَلْفَهُ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِنَا ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ ، قُلْتُ لَهُ : مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " هَؤُلَاءِ جِنُّ نَصِيبِينَ ، جَاءُوا يَخْتَصِمُونَ إِلَيَّ فِي أُمُورٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ ، وَقَدْ سَأَلُونِي الزَّادَ فَزَوَّدْتُهُمْ " ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : وَهَلْ عِنْدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُزَوِّدُهُمْ إِيَّاهُ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : " قَدْ زَوَّدْتُهُمْ الرَّجْعَةَ ، وَمَا وَجَدُوا مِنْ رَوْثٍ وَجَدُوهُ شَعِيرًا ، وَمَا وَجَدُوهُ مِنْ عَظْمٍ وَجَدُوهُ كَاسِيًا " ، قَالَ : وَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَنْ يُسْتَطَابَ بِالرَّوْثِ وَالْعَظْمِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once during the Makkan period, we were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) along with a few companions. During this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “One of you should come with me, but only that person in whose heart there is not even a particle of pride.” Upon hearing this, I stood up to go with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and took with me a vessel which, according to my assumption, contained water. I set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). As we walked, when we reached the upper part of Makkah, I saw a large crowd of black people. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) drew a line and said to me, “Stand here until I return.” So I stood in my place, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went towards them. I saw that they were advancing towards the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with great enthusiasm. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had a long conversation with them throughout the night, and at dawn, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to me and said: “O Ibn Mas’ud! Have you been standing since then?” I replied: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! It was you who told me, “Stand here until I return.” Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked me, “Do you have water for ablution?” I replied: Yes! Now, when I opened the vessel, it contained nabidh (a drink made from dates). I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! By Allah! When I took this vessel, I thought it contained water, but it has nabidh in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “It is fine dates and purifying water,” and performed ablution with it. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up to pray, two men came and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! We wish that you lead us in prayer as well. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) made them stand in a row behind him and led us in prayer. When the prayer was finished, I asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Who were these people? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “These were the jinn of Nusaybin. They had come to me to have some of their disputes settled. They also asked me for provisions for their journey, which I gave them.” I asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Did you have anything that you could give them as provisions for the journey? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I gave them dung. Whatever droppings they find, it becomes food for them, and whatever bones they find, meat appears on them.” For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade using dung and bones for istinja (purification).
Hadith 4382
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ تَشَهُّدِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ وَفِي آخِرِهَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّخَعِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ التَّشَهُّدَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ وَفِي آخِرِهَا ، فَكُنَّا نَحْفَظُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حِينَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَّمَهُ إِيَّاهُ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ وَفِي آخِرِهَا عَلَى وَرِكِهِ الْيُسْرَى : " التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ ، وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ " ، قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ نَهَضَ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ تَشَهُّدِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي آخِرِهَا ، دَعَا بَعْدَ تَشَهُّدِهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ ، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) taught me the Tashahhud for the middle and end of the prayer, and when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would sit on his left buttock in the middle or at the end of the prayer, he would say: «التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلّٰهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» "All verbal, physical, and bodily acts of worship are for Allah alone. O Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Peace be upon you, and may Allah's mercy and blessings descend upon you. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is Allah's servant and His Messenger." Then, if it was the middle of the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would stand up after reciting the Tashahhud, and if it was the end of the prayer, after the Tashahhud, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would supplicate for whatever he wished, then he would say the Salam.

Aswad (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I heard a man asking Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) return after prayer from the right side or the left side?" He replied: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would return from whichever side he wished, and most often he would return from the left side towards his chambers."
Hadith 4384
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ الْأَسْوَدَ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " عَامَّةَ مَا يَنْصَرِفُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ إِلَى الْحُجُرَاتِ " .
Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would most often return to his chambers from the left side.
