They (his Companions) said: One who has no children (the children are born unto him but they do not survive).

We said: He who wrestles with persons. He said: No, it is not he but one who controls himself when in a fit of rage.Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Whom do you count as "Raqub" amongst you?

He lowered his head and began to scratch the earth with his stick, and then said: There is not one amongst you whom a spot in Paradise or Hell has not been allotted and about whom it has not been written down whether he would be an evil person or a blessed person. A person said: Allah's Messenger, should we not then depend upon our destiny and abandon our deeds? Thereupon he said: Acts of everyone will be facilitated in that which has been created for him so that whoever belongs to the company of the blessed will have good works made easier for him and whoever belongs to the unfortunate ones will have evil acts made easier for him. He then recited this verse (from the Qur'an): "Then, who gives to the needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end and who is miserly and considers himself above need, We shall make easy for him the difficult end".

'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin al-'As reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, so that when He leaves no learned person, people turn to ignorant as their leaders; then they are asked to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge, they go astray, and lead others astray.

Jarir bin 'Abdullah reported that some desert Arabs clad in woollen clothes came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . He saw them in sad plight as they had been hard pressed by need. He (the Holy Prophet) exhorted people to give charity, but they showed some reluctance until (signs) of anger could be seen on his face. Then a person from the Ansar came with a purse containing silver. Then came another person and then other persons followed them in succession until signs of happiness could be seen on his (sacred) face. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He who introduced some good practice in Islam which was followed after him (by people) he would be assured of reward like one who followed it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect.

And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him.

I retreat unto Thee for protection with hope in Thee and fear of Thee. There is no resort and no deliverer (from hardship) but Thou only. I affirm my faith in Thine books which Thou revealed and in Thine Apostles whom Thou sent." Make this as the last word of yours (when you go to sleep) and in case you die during that night, you would die upon Fitra (upon Islam). And as I repeated these words in order to commit them to memory, I said: "I affirm my faith in Thy Messenger (Rasul) whom Thou sent." He said: Say: "I affirm my faith in the Apostle (ﷺ) (Nabi) whom Thou sent."

O Allah, Thou art the First, there is naught before Thee, and Thou art the Last and there is naught after Thee, and Thou art Evident and there is nothing above Thee, and Thou art Innermost and there is nothing beyond Thee. Remove the burden of debt from us and relieve us from want."

'Abdullah reported that when it was evening Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to supplicate: "We have entered upon evening and so, too, the whole Kingdom of Allah has entered upon evening.

He (the narrator) said: I think that he also uttered (in this supplication these words): "His is the Sovereignty and to Him is praise due and He is Potent over everything. My Lord, I beg of Thee good that lies in this night and good that follows it and I seek refuge in Thee from the evil that lies in this night and from the evil of that which follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge in Thee from sloth, from the evil of vanity. My Lord, I seek refuge in Thee from torment of the Hell-Fire and from torment of the grave."

Harith bin Suwaid said: I went to see 'Abdullah to inquire about his health as he was sick and he narrated to us a hadith of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . He heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His believing servant than a person who loses his riding beast carrying food and drink. He sleeps (being disappointed of its recovery) and then gets up and goes in search for that, until he is stricken with thirst. Then comes back to the place where he had been before and goes to sleep completely exhausted placing his head upon his hands waiting for death. And when he gets up, lot there is before him his riding beast and his provisions of food and drink. Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than the recovery of this riding beast along with the provisions (of food and drink).

'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Nothing is more loveable to Allah than His praise as He has praised Himself and no one is more self-respecting than Allah Himself and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts.

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: None loves one's own praise more than Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, does. It is because of this that He has praised Himself, and none is more self-respecting than Allah and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts and there is none who is more anxious to accept the apologies of the people than Allah Himself and it is because of this that He has revealed the Book and sent the Messengers.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sulaiman Taimi with the same chain of transmitters that a person had taken liberty with a woman less than fornication. He came to 'Umar bin Khattab and he took it to be a serious offence. Then he came to Abu Bakr (RA) and he also took it to be a serious offence. Then he came the Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and he made a mention of this to him. The rest of the hadith is the same.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Mansur with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): A Jew scholar came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) .

But there is this addition: "I saw Allah's Messengcr (ﷺ) smiling so much that his front teeth appeared and testifying him (the Jew scholar); then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited the verse: "And they honour not Allah with the honour due to Him" (xxxix. 67).

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Khabbib through another chain of transmitters and the words are. I, in the pre-Islamic days used to work as an iron-smith. I did some work for 'As bin Wa'il and came to him for getting the remuneration of my wages.

Masruq reported: We were sitting in the company of 'Abdullah and he was lying on the bed that a person came and said: Abd Abdul Rahmin, a story-teller at the gates of Kinda says that the verse (of the Qur'an) which deals with the "smoke" implies that which is about to come and it would hold the breath of the infidels and would inflict the believers with cold. Thereupon 'Abdullah got up and said in anger. O people, fear Allah and say only that which one knows amongst you and do not say which he does not know and he should simply say: Allah has the best knowledge for He has the best knowledge amongst all of you. It does not behoove him to say that which he does not know. Allah has the best knowledge of it. Verily Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said to His Prophet (ﷺ) to state: "I do not ask from you any remuneration and I am not the one to put you in trouble," and when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw people turning back (from religion) he said: O Allah, afflict them with seven famines as was done in the case of Yusuf, so they were afflicted with famine by which they were forced to eat everything until they were obliged to eat the hides and the dead bodies because of hunger, and every one of them looked towards the sky and he found a smoke. And Abu Sufyan (RA) came and he said: Muhammad, you have come to command us to obey Allah and cement the ties of blood-relation whereas your people are undone; supplicate Allah for them. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: "Wait for the day when there would be clear smoke from the sky which would envelop people and that would be grievous torment" up to the words: "you are going to return to (evil)." (if this verse implied the torment of the next life) could the chastisement of the next (life) be averted (as the Qur'an states): On the day when We seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We shall exact retribution" (xliv. 16)? The seizing (in the hadith) implies that of the Day of Badr. And so far as the sign of smoke, seizing, inevitability and signs of Rome are concerned, they have become things of the past now.

Masruq reported that there came to 'Abdullah a person and said: I have left behind in the mosque a man who explains the Qur'an according to his personal discretion and he explained this verse: "So wait for the day when the Heaven brings a clear smoke." He says that a smoke would come to the people on the Day of Resurrection and it will withhold breath and they would be inflicted with cold. ''Abdullah said: He who has knowledge should say something and he who has no knowledge should simply say: Allah is best aware. This reflects the understanding of a person that he should say about that which he does not know that it is Allah who knows best. The fact is that when the Quraish disobeyed Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) he supplicated Allah that they should be afflicted with famine and starvation as was done in case of Yusuf. And they were so much hard pressed that a person would ace the sky and he would see between him and the sky something like smoke and they were so much hard pressed that they began to eat the bones, and a person came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, seek forgiveness for the tribe of Mudar for (its people) have been undone. The Messenger (ﷺ) said: For Mudar? You are overbold, but he supplicated Allah for them. It was upon this that this verse was revealed: "We shall remove the chastisement a little, but they will surely return to evil" (xliv. 15). He (the narrator) said: There was a downpour of rain upon them. When there was some relief for them they returned to the same position as they had been before, and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse: "So wait for the day when the heaven brings a clear smoke enveloping people. This is a grievous torment on the day when We seize them with the most violent seizing; surely, We shall exact retribution." And this (seizing) implied (Battle) of Badr.

'Abdullah said that five signs have (become things) of the past (and have proved the truth of the Holy Prophet): (Enveloping) by the smoke, inevitable (punishment to the Makkahns at Badr), (the victory of) Rome, (violent) seizing (of the Makkahns at Badr) and (the splitting up of) the Moon.

Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Verily, the Satan has lost all hopes that the worshippers would ever worship (him) in the peninsula of Arabia, but he (is hopeful) that he would sow the seed of dissension amongst them.

Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The throne of Iblis is upon the ocean and he sends detachments (to different parts) in order to put people to trial and the most important figure in his eyes is one who is most notorious in sowing the seed of dissension.

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: There is none amongst you with whom is not an attached from amongst the jinn (devil). They (the Companions) said: Allah's Messenger, with you too? Thereupon he said: Yes, but Allah helps me against him and so I am safe from his hand and he does not command me but for good.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is none whose deeds alone can secure salvation for him. They said: Allah's Messenger, not even you? Thereupon he said: Not even I, but that, the Mercy of Allah should take hold of me.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of A'mash through two other chains of transmitters. The wording is, however, the same.

Shaqiq bin Wi'il reported that 'Abdullah used to give us sermon every Thursday. A person said: Abu 'Abdul Rahman, we love your talk and so we yearn (to listen to you) and earnestly desire that you should deliver us lecture every day. Thereupon he said: There is nothing to hinder me in giving you talk (every day) but the fact that you may be bored. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not deliver sermons on certain days (fearing that we might be bored).
