Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that I heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe, and a Muhajir (emigrant) is the one who abandons what Allah has forbidden.

It is narrated from an unknown narrator that Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to seize the land called "Wahat" belonging to Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) prepared his slaves for this purpose, so they put on weapons with the intention of fighting. I came to them and asked, "What is this?" They replied, "I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'If any Muslim is wronged and he fights in defense of it, and is killed while fighting, then he is a martyr who was killed.'" Benefit: In terms of its chain, this narration is not strong and only Tiyalisi has transmitted it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Abdullah bin Amr!

Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Whoever brings a good deed shall have ten times as much." I said, "I have the strength to do more than this." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then fast like Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him); he would fast one day and leave off the next day."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me: "Fast one day and you will receive the reward of the remaining days."

A man asked, "Tell me, if a polytheist accepts Islam at that time, what is the ruling?" He replied, "I have narrated the hadith to you exactly as I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The most beloved way of fasting to Allah is that of Sayyiduna Dawud, peace be upon him.

There was some resentment between Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Anbasah bin Abi Sufyan, which escalated to the point of a fight.

He said, "Do you not know that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Whoever is killed while protecting his wealth is a martyr?'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a slave is promised freedom upon paying one hundred uqiyah as the price of his contract of manumission, and he pays ninety uqiyah but then becomes unable (to pay the rest), then he will remain a slave (until he completes the full payment)."

Then he asked, "Do you know who is a believer?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best."

O son of Sumayyah, a rebellious group will kill you'?" Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Are you listening to what he is saying?" Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You always bring such disturbing news. Did we martyr him? He was martyred by those who brought him (to the battlefield)."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

Khanzala bin Khuwailid says that once I was sitting with Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) when two men came to him with a dispute. Each of them claimed that he had martyred Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "You should congratulate each other, for I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that Ammar will be killed by a rebellious group." Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then what are you doing with us, O Amr! Why do you not relieve us of this madman of yours?" He replied, "Once my father complained about me to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Obey your father throughout your life and do not disobey him.' That is why I am with you, but I do not participate in the fighting."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I write down the things I hear from you?"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A person does not have the right to divorce a woman whom he does not own (by marriage or purchase).

And there is no vow in disobedience to Allah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Except for Banu Khuza'ah, everyone should withhold their weapons, and Banu Khuza'ah were given permission to retaliate against Banu Bakr until the Asr prayer. Then he also said to them: 'Withhold your weapons.' After this, a man from Banu Khuza'ah met a man from Banu Bakr the next day at Muzdalifah and killed him. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he stood up to deliver a sermon. I saw that he had his back against the Ka'bah and he was saying: 'The person who is most forward in the matter of Allah among the people is the one who kills in the Sacred Sanctuary, or kills someone who is not a killer, or kills someone due to the enmity of the Age of Ignorance.' Meanwhile, a man stood up and said, 'Such and such child is my son.' The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'There is no validity to this claim in Islam; the matter of the Age of Ignorance has ended. The child belongs to the bed (i.e., to whom the bed belongs), and for the adulterer, there are stones.' Then, while explaining the details of blood money, he said: 'For each finger, there are ten camels; for a head wound, there are five camels.' Then he said: 'After the Fajr prayer until sunrise, there is no voluntary prayer, and after the Asr prayer until sunset, there is also no voluntary prayer.' And he said: 'No man should marry a woman in the presence of her paternal or maternal aunt, and no woman is allowed to accept any gift without her husband's permission.' And he said: 'Fulfill the agreements of the Age of Ignorance, for Islam has only increased their strictness, but do not make any new agreements in Islam.'"

Then he mentioned the complete hadith and said: "He asked, O Messenger of Allah! If someone steals fruit by breaking it from the clusters, what is the ruling?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "For the fruit he has eaten and not hidden, nothing is obligatory upon him, but for the fruit he takes away, double its price and beating and punishment are obligatory. And if the fruits are stolen from the place where they are dried, and their amount is at least equal to the price of a shield, then his hand should be cut off." He asked, O Messenger of Allah! What is the ruling about something fallen that we find on the road in a populated area? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Announce it for a whole year; if its owner comes, hand it over to him, otherwise it is yours." He said, "What if the same thing is found in a deserted place?" He said: "In that and in buried treasure, one-fifth is obligatory."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade plucking white hairs, for they are the light of the Muslims.

And the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young ones and does not respect our elders."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent his daughter Sayyidah Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) back to her husband Abul-As after a new dowry and a new marriage contract. Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) says that this hadith is weak because the hearing of Hajjaj from Amr bin Shu'aib is not established. The authentic hadith is that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) considered their first marriage contract as still valid.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once two Yemeni women came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) who had gold bangles on their hands.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The testimony of any treacherous man or woman is not accepted, nor is the testimony of a person who has been subjected to a prescribed punishment in Islam, or a person who is inexperienced, accepted in favor of his brother."

You should choose the side of virtue and maintain the ties of kinship with them, and as long as you continue to do so, a constant helper from Allah will remain with you."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "What has happened to you?" He said, "I had intercourse with my wife during the day in the month of Ramadan." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Free a slave." He said, "I do not have a slave." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then fast for two consecutive months." He said, "I do not have the strength for that." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then feed sixty needy people." He said, "I do not have that much." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Sit down." Meanwhile, a large basket was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere, in which there were fifteen saa’ of dates. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Take this and feed sixty needy people on your behalf." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! From this corner of Madinah to that corner, there is no household more in need than ours." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said, "Go, you and your family eat it."

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in such a state that he was out of breath. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his finger and made the number twenty-nine, and pointing towards the sky, said: "O group of Muslims, rejoice! Your Lord has opened a door of the sky and is boasting about you in front of the angels, saying: 'My servants have fulfilled one obligation and are waiting for another.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the womb (ties of kinship) will be presented in a twisted form like a spinning wheel, and it will be speaking in an extremely eloquent and articulate tongue: whoever maintained it, Allah will maintain him, and whoever severed it, Allah will sever him."
