It is reported on the authority of Abu Dharr (RA) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace and blessings be upon him) saying: No person who claimed knowingly anyone else as his father besides (his own) committed nothing but infidelity, and he who made a claim of anything, which (in fact) did not belong to him, is not amongst us; he should make his abode in Fire, and he who labeled anyone with unbelief or called him the enemy of Allah, and he was in fact not so, it rebounded on him.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, which of the deeds is the best? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Belief in Allah and Jihad in His cause. I again asked: Who is the slave whose emancipation is the best? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: One who is valuable for his master and whose price is high. I said: If I can't afford to do it? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Help an artisan or make anything for the unskilled (labourer). I (Abu Dharr) said: Messenger of Allah, you see that I am helpless in doing some of these deeds. He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Desist from doing mischief to the people. That is the charity of your person on your behalf.

(Habib, the freed slave of Urwah bin Zubair, narrated this tradition with the previous chain, except that he said «فتعین الصانع» (with the definite article "al") instead of specifying the maker.)

I heard Abu Dharr (RA) narrating it from the Apostle (ﷺ) that he observed: Gabriel (ؑ) came to me and gave me the tidings: Verily he who died amongst your Ummah without associating anything with Allah would enter Paradise. I (the narrator) said: Even if he committed adultery and theft. He (the Holy Prophet) said: (Yes), even if he committed adultery and theft.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported,: I came to the Apostle (ﷺ) and he was asleep with a white mantle over him. I again came, he was still asleep, I came again and he had awakened. I sat by his side and (the Holy Prophet) observed: There is none among the bondsmen who affirmed his faith in La illaha ill-Allah there is no God but Allah) and died in this state and did not enter Paradise. I (Abu Dharr) said: Even if he committed adultery and theft? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: (Yes) even though he committed adultery and theft. I (again said): Even if he committed adultery and theft? He replied: (Yes) even though he committed adultery and theft. (Th Holy Prophet (ﷺ) repeated it three times) and said for the fourth time: In defiance of Abu Dharr. Abu Dharr (RA) then went out and he repeated (these words): In defiance of Abu Dharr.

It is narrated o the authority of Abu Dharr (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may ace he upon him) observed: Three are the (persons) with whom Allah would neither speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor would look at them nor would absolve the and there is a painful chastisement for them. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) repeated it three times. Abu Dharr (RA) remarked: They failed and they lost; who are these persons, Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) Upon this he (the Holy) Prophet) observed: They are: the dragger of lower garment, the recounter of obligation the seller of goods by false oath. ________

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr (RA) who narrates that the Prophet (ﷺ) observed: Three are the persons with whom Allah would not speak on the Day of Resurrection: the bestower of gift who does not give anything but by laying obligation on him, the seller of goods who sells them by taking false oath and one who hangs low his lower garment.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one day said: Do you know where the sun goes? They replied: Allah and His Apostle (ﷺ) know best. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Verily it (the sun) glides till it reaches its resting place under the Throne. Then it falls prostrate and remains there until it is asked: Rise up and go to the place whence you came, and it goes back and continues emerging out from its rising place and then glides till it reaches its place of rest under the Throne and falls prostrate and remains in that state until it is asked: Rise up and return to the place whence you came, and it returns and emerges out from it rising place and the it glides (in such a normal way) that the people do not discern anything ( unusual in it) till it reaches its resting place under the Throne. Then it would be said to it: Rise up and emerge out from the place of your setting, and it will rise from the place of its setting. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said. Do you know when it would happen? It would happen at the time when faith will not benefit one who has not previously believed or has derived no good from the faith.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr (RA) that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) one day said: Do you know where the sun goes? The remaining part of the hadith is the same.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: I entered the mosque and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting there. When the sun disappeared (from the sight) he said: O Abu Dharr! Do you know where it goes? He (the narrator) said: Allah and His Apostle (ﷺ) know best. He (the Holy Prophet) said. Verily it goes and begs permission, for prostration (to Allah) and the permission is granted to it. Once it would be said: Return to the place whence you came, and then it would rise from its setting place. Then he, after the recitation of 'Abdullah recited it: And that is its appointed term.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) the (implication of the) words of Allah, the Exalted: The sun glides to its appointed resting place. He replied: Its appointed resting place is under the Throne.

Ibn Shihab narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I was in Mecca when the roof of my house was opened, Jibreel descended, split open my chest, then washed it with the water of Zamzam, then brought a golden basin filled with wisdom and faith, poured it into my chest, then closed it up. Then he took my hand and raised me towards the sky. When we reached the lowest (first) heaven, Jibreel said to the gatekeeper of the lowest heaven: Open the door." He said: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Jibreel." He asked: "Is there anyone with you?" He said: "Yes, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is with me." He asked: "Has he been called?" He said: "Yes." Then he opened the door. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When we reached the sky of the world, I saw a man, on his right side there was a great multitude of creatures and on his left side also a great multitude of creatures. When that man looked to his right, he laughed, and when he looked to his left, he wept." He said: "Welcome, O righteous Prophet and O righteous son." I asked Jibreel: "Who is this?" Jibreel said: "This is Adam (peace be upon him), and those on his right are the people of Paradise and those on his left are the people of Hell, so when he looks to his right he laughs and when he looks to his left he weeps." Then Jibreel took me to the second heaven and said to its gatekeeper: "Open the door." He said that the gatekeeper of the second heaven said the same as the gatekeeper of the sky of the world: "Open the door." Its gatekeeper also spoke as the first one did and opened the door. Hazrat Anas bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that I met Adam, Idris, Musa, and Ibrahim (peace be upon them) in the heavens (mentioning briefly). He (Abu Dharr) did not specify their stations, but he did say that Adam (peace be upon him) met him on the first heaven and Ibrahim (peace be upon him) on the seventh heaven (the narrator's error was corrected that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was on the sixth heaven). He said: When Jibreel and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Idris (peace be upon him), he said: "Welcome, O righteous Prophet and righteous brother." Then they passed on, so I asked: "Who is this?" (Jibreel) said: "This is Idris (peace be upon him)." Then I passed by Musa (peace be upon him), and he said: "Welcome, O righteous Prophet and righteous brother." He said: I asked: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Musa (peace be upon him)." Then I passed by Isa (peace be upon him), and he said: "Welcome, O righteous Prophet and righteous brother." I asked: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Isa son of Maryam (peace be upon him)." He said: "Then I passed by Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and he said: 'Righteous Prophet and righteous son, welcome!'" I asked: "Who is this?" He said: "This is Ibrahim (peace be upon him)." Ibn Shihab said: Ibn Hazm told me that Ibn Abbas and Abu Habba Ansari (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then (Jibreel) took me up until I appeared before a high place, from within which I was hearing the sound of pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah the Exalted made fifty prayers obligatory upon my Ummah, I returned with this (command) until I passed by Musa (peace be upon him), so Musa (peace be upon him) asked: What has your Lord enjoined upon your Ummah?" He said: "I replied: He has made fifty prayers obligatory upon them." Musa (peace be upon him) said to me: "Return to your Lord, for your Ummah will not be able to bear it." He said: "So I returned to my Lord and He reduced a portion of it for me." He said: "I returned to Musa (peace be upon him) and informed him." He said: "Return to your Lord, for your Ummah will not be able to bear it (either)." He said: "I returned to my Lord, and He said: These are five and they are (equal to) fifty, My word does not change with Me." He said: "I returned to Musa (peace be upon him), and he said: Return to your Lord." So I said: "I am ashamed before my Lord (to ask repeatedly)." He said: "Then Jibreel took me on until we reached Sidrat al-Muntaha, and it was covered with such colors that I do not know what they were. Then I was taken into Paradise, in it were domes of pearls and its soil was musk."

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr (RA) : I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) : Did you see thy Lord? He said: He is a Light;. How could I see Him?

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported: I said to Abu Dharr (RA) : Had I seen the Messenger of Allah, I would have asked him. He (Abu Dharr) said: What is that thing that you wanted to inquire of him? He said: I wanted to ask him whether he had seen his Lord. Abu Dharr (RA) said: I, in fact, inquired of him, and he replied: I saw Light.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I know the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it and the last of the inhabitants of Hell to come out of it. He is a man who would be brought on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said: Present his minor sins to him, and withhold from him his serious Sins. Then the minor sins would be placed before him, and it would be said: On such and such a day you did so and so and on such and such a day you did so and so. He would say: Yes. It will not be possible for him to deny, while he would be afraid lest serious sins chould be presented before him. It would be said to him: In place of every evil deed you will have good deed He will say: My Lord! I have done things I do not see here. I indeed saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) laugh till his front teeth were exposed.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Messenger of 'Allah (ﷺ) said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by (passing of an) ass, woman, and black dog. I said: O Abu Dharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguish it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, which mosque was set up first on the earth? He said: Al-Masjid al-Haram (the sacred). I (again) said: Then which next? He said: It was the Masjid Aqsa. I (again) said: How long the space of time (between their setting up)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: It was forty years. And whenever the time comes for prayer, pray there, for that is a mosque; and in the hadith transmitted by Abu Kamil (the words are): "Whenever time comes for prayer, pray, for that is a mosque (for you)."

Ibrahim bin Yazid al-Tayml reported: I used to read the Qur'an with my father in the vestibule (before the door of the mosque). When I recited the ayat (verses) concerning prostration, he prostrated himself. I said to him: Father, do you prostrate yourself in the path? He said: I heard Abu Dharr (RA) saying: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about the mosque that was first set up on the earth. He said: Masjid Haram. I said: Then which next? He said: The Masjid al-Aqsa. I said: How long is the space of time between the two? He said: Forty years. He (then) further said: The earth is a mosque for you, so wherever you are at the time of prayer, pray there.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: The deeds of my people, good and bad, were presented before me, and I found the removal of something objectionable from the road among their good deeds, and the sputum mucus left unburied in the mosque among their evil deeds.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Mu'adhdhin (the announcer of the hour of prayer) of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called for the noon prayer. Upon this the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: Let it cool down, let it cool down, or he said: Wait, wait for the intensity of heat is from the exhalation of Hell. When the heat is intense, delay the prayer till it becomes cooler. Abu Dharr (RA) said: (We waited) till we saw the shadow of the mounds.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: How would you act when you are under the rulers who would delay the prayer beyond its prescribed time, or they would make prayer a dead thing as far as its proper time is concerned? I said: What do you command? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Observe the prayer at its proper time, and if you can say it along with them do so, for it would be a supererogatory prayer for you. Khalaf (one of the narrators in the above hadith) has not mentioned "beyond their (prescribed) time".

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: O Abu Dharr, you would soon find after me rulers who would make their prayers dead. You should say prayer at its prescribed time. If you say prayer at its prescribed time that would be a supererogatory prayer for you, otherwise you saved your prayer.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: My friend (the Holy Prophet) bade me to hear and obey (the ruler) even if he is a slave having his feet and arms cut off, and observe prayer at its prescribed time. (And further said): It you find people having observed the prayer, you in fact saved your prayer, otherwise (if you join with them) that would be a Nafl prayer for you.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) struck my thigh and said: How would you act if you survive among the people who would delay prayers beyond their (prescribed) time? He (Abu Dharr) said: What do you command (under this situation)? He (the Holy Prophet) slid: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, then go (to meet) your needs, and if when he hears the Iqamah is pronounced, and you are present in the mosque, then observe prayer (along with the Jama'at).

'Abu'l-'Aliyat al-Bara reported: Ibn Ziyad delayed the prayer. 'Abdullah bin Samit came to me and I placed a chair for him and he sat in it and I made a mention of what Ibn Ziyad had done. He bit his lips (as a sign of extreme anger and annoyance) and struck at my thigh and said: I asked Abu Dharr (RA) as you have asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I have struck your thigh, and said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as you have asked me and he struck my thigh just as I have struck your thigh, and he (the Holy Prophet) said: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, and if you can say prayer along with them. do so, and do not say "I have observed prayer and so I shall not pray."

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: (The Messenger of Allah) (ﷺ) said: How would you, or how would thou, act if you survive to live among people who defer prayer beyond the (prescribed) time? (The narrator said: Allah and His Messenger know best). whereupon he said: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, but if when he hears the Iqamah is pronounced for (congregational) prayer, then observe prayer along with them. for herein is an excess of virtue.

Abu'l-'Aliyat al-Bara' reported: I said to 'Abdullah bin Samit: We say our Jumu'a prayer behind those rulers who defer the prayer. He ('Abdullah bin Samit), struck. my thigh that I felt pain and said: I asked Abu Dharr (RA) about it, he struck my thigh and said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about it. Upon this he said: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, and treat prayer along with them (along with those Imams who deter prayer) as Nafl. 'Abdullah said: It was narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) struck the thigh of Abu Dharr.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: In the morning charity is due from every bone in the body of every one of you. Every utterance of Allah's glorification is an act of charity. Every utterance of praise of Him is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Oneness is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Greatness is an act of charity, enjoining good is an act of charity, forbidding what is disreputable is an act of charity, and two rak'ahs which one prays in the forenoon will suffice.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: I went to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and he was sitting under the shade of the Ka’bah. As he saw me he said: By the Lord of the Ka’bah, they are the losers. I came there till I sat and I could not stay (longer) and (then) stood up. I said: Messenger of Allah, let my father be ransom for you, who are they (the losers)? He said: They are those having a huge amount of wealth except so and so and (those who spend their wealth generously on them whom they find in front of them, behind them and on their right side and on their left side) and they are a few. And no owner of camels, or cattle or goat and sheep, who does not pay Zakat (would be spared punishment) but these (camels, cattle, goats and sheep) would come on the Day of Resurrection wearing more flesh and would gore him with their horns and trample them with their hooves. And when the last one would pass away, the first one would return (to trample him) till judgment would be pronounced among people.

Abu Dbarr reported: I went to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and he was sitting under the shade of the Ka’bah, and the rest of the hadith it the same but for this that he (the Holy Prophet) said: "By Allah, in Whose hand is my life, no person on earth who dies and leaves behind camels, or cattle or goat and sheep, and does not pay Zakat (would be spared the punishment)."

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: I walked with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the stony ground of Madinah in the afternoon and we were looking at Uhud. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace by upon him) said: Abu Dharr! I said: Messenger of Allah, I am here at thy beck and call. He said: What I desire is that Uhud be gold with me and three nights should pass and there is left with me any dinar but one coin which I would keep to pay debt. (I love) to spend it among the servants of Allah like this and he pointed in front of him, and on his right side and on his left side. We then proceeded on and he said: Abu Dharr. I said: At thy beck and call, Messenger of Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The rich would be poor on the Day of Resurrection, but he who spent like this and like this and like this, and he pointed as at the first time. We again went on when he said. Abu Dharr, stay where you are till I come back to you. He (the Holy Prophet) then moved on till he disappeared from my sight. He (Abu Dharr) said: I heard a sound and I heard a noise. I said (to myself): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) might have met (mishap or an enemy). I wished to follow him but I remembered his command for not departing till he would come back. So I waited for him, and when he came I made a mention of what I heard. He said: it was Gabriel (ؑ), who came to me and said: "He who dies among your Ummah without associating anything with Allah would enter Paradise. I said: Even if he committed fornication or theft? He said: Even if he committed fornication or theft.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: I went out one night and found the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) walking all alone. There was no man with him. I thought that he did not like anyone walking along with him. So I began to walk in the light of the moon. He, however turned his attention to me and saw me and said: Who is this? I said: It is Abu Dharr. Let Allah make me as ransom for you. He said: Abu Dharr, come on. He (Abu Dharr) said: So I walked along with him for some time and he said: The wealthy persons would have little (reward) on the Day of Resurrection, except upon whom Allah conferred goodness (wealth). He dispensed it to his right, left, in front of him and at his back (just as the wind diffuses fragrance) and did good with it (riches). I went along with him for some time when he said: Sit here. And he made me sit at a safe place and there were stones around it, and he said to me: Sit here till I come to you. He went away on the stony ground till I could not see him. He stayed away from me, and he prolonged his stay. Then I heard him as he came back and he was saying: Even if he committed theft and even if he committed fornication. When he came I could not help asking him: Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , let Allah make me ransom for you, whom were you speaking on the stony ground? I heard nobody responding to you. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It was Gabriel (ؑ) who met me by the side of the stony ground and said: Give glad tidings to your Ummah that he who died without associating ought with Allah would go into Paradise. I said: Gabriel (ؑ), even if he committed theft and fornication? He said: Yes. I said: Even it he committed theft and fornication? He said: Yes, I again said: Even if he committed theft and fornication? He said: Yes, even if he drank wine.

Ahnaf bin Qais reported: I came to Madinah and when I was in the company of the grandees of Quraish a man with a crude body and an uncouth face wearing coarse clothes came there. He stood up before them and said: Give tidings to those who amass riches of the stones which would be heated in the Fire of Hell, and would be placed at the tick of the chest till it would project from the shoulder bone and would he put on the shoulder bone till it would project from the tick of his chest, and it (this stone) would continue passing and repassing (from one side to the other). He (the narrator) said: Then people hung their heads and I saw none among them giving any answer. He then returned and I followed him till he sat near a pillar. I said: I find that these (people) disliked what you said to them and they do not understand anything. My friend Abu'l-Qasim (Muhammad) (may peace he upon him) called me and I responded to him, and he said: Do you see Uhud? I saw the sun (shining) on me and I thought that he would send me on an errand for him. So I said: I see it. Upon this he said: Nothing would delight me more than this, that I should have gold like it (equal to the bulk of Uhud), and I should spend it all except three dinars. (How sad it is) that they hoard worldly riches, and they know nothing. I said: What about you and your brothers Quraish? You do not go to them for any need and do not accept anything from them. He said: By Allah, I neither beg anything from them (from worldly goods), nor do I ask them anything about religion till I meet my Allah and His Messenger.

Ahnaf bin Qais reported: While I was in the company of the (elites) of Quraiah, Abu Dharr (RA) came there and he was saying: Give tidings to the hoarders of riches that their backs would be branded (so deeply) that (the hot Iron) would come out of their sides, and when the backs of their necks would be branded, it would come out of their foreheads. He (Abu Dharr) then went away and sat down. I asked who he was. They said: He is Abu Dharr. I went to him and said to him: What is this that I heard from you which you were saying before? He said: I said nothing but only that which I heard from their Prophet (ﷺ) . I again said: What do you say about this gift? He said: Take it, for today it is a help. But when it becomes a price for your religion, then abandon it.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: some of the people from among the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: Messenger of Allah, the rich have taken away (all the) reward. They observe prayer as we do; they keep the fasts as we keep, and they give Sadaqa out of their surplus riches. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Has Allah not prescribed for you (a course) by following which you can (also) do sadaqa? In every declaration of the glorification of Allah (i. e. saying Subhan Allah) there is a Sadaqa, and every Takbir (i. e. saying Allah-O-Akbar) is a sadaqa, and every praise of His (saying al-Hamdu Lillah) is a Sadaqa and every declaration that He is One (La illha ill-Allah) is a sadaqa, and enjoining of good is a sadaqa, and forbidding of that which is evil is a Sadaqa, and in man's sexual intercourse (with his wife,) there is a Sadaqa. They (the Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual passion among us? He said: Tell me, if he were to devote it to something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his part? Similarly, if he were to devote it to something lawful, he should have a reward.

Abu Dharr (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Verily there would arise from my Ummah after me or soon after me a group (of people) who would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throats, and they would pass clean through their religion just as the arrow passes through the prey, and they would never come back to it. They would be the worst among the creation and the creatures. Ibn Samit (one of the narrators) said: I met Rafi' bin 'Amr Ghifari, the brother of Al-Hakam Ghifari and I said: What is this hadith that I heard from Abu Dharr, i. e. so and so? and then I narrated that hadith to him and said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) .

Abu Dharr (RA) said that Tamattu' in Hajj was a special (concession) for the Companions of Muhammad (ﷺ) .

Abu Dharr (RA) reported: Tamattu' in Hajj was a special concession for us.

Abu Dharr (RA) said: Two are the Mut'as which were not permissible but only for us, i. e. temporary marriage with women and Tamattu' in Hajj.

'Abdul Rahman bin Abi al-Sha'tha' reported: I came to Ibrahim al-Nakha' and Ibrahim Taimi and said: I intend to combine 'Umrah and Hajj this year, whereupon Ibrahim al-Nakha'i said: But your father did not make such intention. Ibrahim narrated on the authority of his father that he passed by Abu Dharr (RA) at Rabdha, and made a mention of that, whereupon he said: It was a special concession for us and not for you.
