Mu'adh reported: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the Tabuk expedition, and he observed the noon and afternoon prayers together and the sunset and 'Isha' prayers together.

Mu'adh bin Jabal reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) combined in the expedition to Tabuk the noon prayer with the afternoon prayer and the sunset prayer with the 'Isha' prayer. He (one of the narrators) said: What prompted him to do that? He (Mu'adh) replied that he (the Holy Prophet) wanted that his Ummah should not be put to (unnecessary) hardship.

'Amir bin Wathila reported that Nafi' bin 'Abdul Harith met 'Umar at 'Usfan and 'Umar had employed him as collector in Makkah. He (Hadrat 'Umar) said to him (Nafi'): Whom have you appointed as collector over the people of the valley? He said: Ibn Abza. He said: Who is Ibn Abza? He said: He is one of our freed slaves. He (Hadrat 'Umar) said: So you have appointed a freed slave over them. He said: He is well versed In the Book of Allah. the Exalted and Great, and he is well versed In the commandments and injunctions (of the Shari'ah). 'Umar said: So the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: By this Book, Allah would exalt some peoples and degrade others.

This hadith has been narrated by Zuhri through another chain of transmitters.

Abu Tufail reported: I said to Ibn Abbas (RA) : Do you think that walking swiftly round the House in three circuits, and just walking in four circuits is the Sunnah (of the Holy Prophet), for your people say that it is Sunnah? Thereupon he (Ibn 'Abbas) said: They have told the truth and the lie (too). I said: What do your words "They have told the truth and the lie (too)" imply? Thereupon he said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Makkah and the polytheists said that Muhammad and his Companions had emaciated and would, therefore, be unable to circumambulate the House; and they felt jealous of him (the Holy Prophet). (It was due to this) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded them to walk swiftly in three (circuits) and walk (normally) in four. I said to him: Inform me if it is Sunnah to observe Tawaf between al-Safa and al-Marwah while riding, for your people look upon it as Sunnah. He ( Ibn Abbas (RA) ) said: They have told the truth and the lie too. I said: What do your words "They have told the truth and the lie too", imply? He said: as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had come to Makkah, there was such a large gathering of people around him that even the virgins had come out of their houses (to catch a glimpse of his face), and they were saying: He is Muhammad; He is Muhammad. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (was so gentle and kind) that the people were not beaten back (to make way) in front of him. When there was a throng (of people) around him, he rode (the she-camel) but walking and trotting is, however, better.

Abu Tufail reported: I said to Ibn 'Abbas (RA) : People are of the view that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) moved quickly round the House and between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and (thus) it is Sunnah. He said: They told the truth and they told the lie.

Abu Tufail reported; I said to Ibn 'Abbas (RA) : I think that I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . He (Ibn 'Abbas) said 'Give a description of him to me. I said: I saw him near al-Marwah on the back of a she- camel, and people had thronged around him. Thereupon Ibn'Abbas said: It was Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) were neither pushed aside from him, nor were they turned away.

Ibn 'Abbas (RA) is reported to have said that he did not see Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) touching other than the Yamani corners.

Abu Tufail reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) circumambulating the House and touching the corner with a stick that he had with him, and then kissing the stick.

It has been reported on the authority of Hudbaifa bin al-Yaman who said: Nothing prevented me from being present at the Battle of Badr except this incident. I came out with my father Husail (to participate in the Battle), but we were caught by the disbelievers of Quraish. They said: (Do) you intend to go to Muhammad? We said: We do not intend to go to him, but we wish to go (back) to Madinah. So they took from us a covenant in the name of God that we would turn back to Madinah and would not fight on the side of Muhammad (ﷺ) . So, we came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and related the incident to him. He said: Both, of you proceed (to Madinah); we will fulfil the covenant made with them and seek God's help against them.

Abu Tufail 'Amir bin Wathila reported: I was in the company of ' Ali Ibn Abi Talib (RA) , when a person came to him, and said: What was it that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) told you in secret? Thereupon he (liadrat 'All) was enraged and said: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) did not tell me anything in secret that he hid from people, except that he told me four things. He said: Com- mader of Faithful, what are these? He said: Allah cursed him who cursed his father; Allah cursed him who sacrificed for anyone besides Allah; and Allah cursed him who accommodates an innovator (in religion) ; and Allah cursed him who changed the minarets (the boundary lines) of the land.

Abu Tufail reported: We said to ' Ali Ibn Abi Talib (RA) : Inform us about something which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told you in secret, whereupon he said: He told me nothing in secret which he bid from people, but I heard him say: Allah cursed him who sacrificed for anyone besides Allah; and cursed him who accommodated an innovator; and Allah cursed him who cursed his parents and Allah cursed him who changed the boundary lines (of the land possessed by him).

Abu Tufail reported: 'Ali was asked whether Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had showed special favour (by disclosing to him) a thing (which he kept secret from others). Thereupon he said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) singled us not for (disclosing to us) anything (secret) which he did not make public, (but those few things) which lie in the sheath of my sword. He drew out the written document contained in it and on that (it was mentioned): Allah cursed him who sacrificed for anyone else besides Allah; and Allah cursed him who stole the signposts (demarcating the boundary lines of the) land; and Allah cursed him who cursed his father; and Allah cursed him who accommodated an innovator (in religion).

Mu'adh bin Jabal reported that he went along with Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) in the expedition of Tabuk and he (the Holy Prophet) combined the prayers. He offered the noon and afternoon prayers together and the sunset and night prayers together and on the other day he deferred the prayers; he then came out and offered the noon and afternoon prayers together. He then went in and (later on) came out and then after that offered the sunset and night prayers together and then said: God willing, you would reach by tomorrow the fountain of Tabuk and you should not come to that until it is dawn, and he who amongst you happens to go there should not touch its water until I come. We came to that and two persons (amongst) us reached that fountain ahead of us. It was a thin flow of water like the shoelace. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked them whether they had touched the water. They said: Yes. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) scolded them, and he said to them what he had to say by the will of God. The people then took water of the fountain in their palms until it became somewhat significant and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) washed his hands and his face too in it, and then, took it again in that (fountain) and there gushed forth abundant water from that fountain, until all the people drank to their fill. He then said: Mu'adh, it is hoped that if you live long you would see its water irrigating well the gardens.

Jurairi reported: I said to Abu Tufail: Did you see Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ? He said: Yes, he had a white handsome face. Muslim bin Hajjaj said: Abu Tufail who died in 10O Hijra was the last of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) .

Abu Tufail reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and there is one amongst the people of the earth who are living at the present time and had seen him except me. I said to him: How did you find him? He said: He had an elegant white color, and he was of an average height.

Hudhaifa bin Usaid reported directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that he said: When the drop of (semen) remains in the womb for forty or fifty (days) or forty nights, the angel comes and says: My Lord, will he be good or evil? And both these things would be written. Then the angel says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And both these things are written. And his deeds and actions, his death, his livelihood; these are also recorded. Then his document of destiny is rolled and there is no addition to it nor subtraction from it.

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported: Evil one is he who is evil in the womb of his mother and the good one is he who takes lesson from the (fate of) others. The narrator came to a person from amongst the Companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who was called Hudhaifa bin Usaid Ghifari and said: How can a person be an evil one without (committing an evil) deed? Thereupon the person said to him: You are surprised at this, whereas I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saving: When forty nights pass after the semen gets into the womb, Allah sends the angel and gives him the shape. Then he creates his sense of hearing, sense of sight, his skin, his flesh, his bones, and then says: My Lord, would he be male or female? And your Lord decides as He desires and the angel then puts down that also and then says: My Lord, what about his age? And your Lord decides as He likes it and the angel puts it down. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood? And then the Lord decides as He likes and the angel writes it down, and then the angel gets out with his scroll of destiny in his hand and nothing is added to it and nothing is subtracted from it.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud through another chain of transmitters.

Abu Tufail reported: I visited Abu Sariha Hudhaifa bin Usaid al-Ghifari who said: I listened with these two ears of mine Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The semen stays in the womb for forty nights, then the angel, gives it a shape. Zubair said: I think that he said: One who fashions that and decides whether he would be male or female. Then he (the angel) says: Would his limbs be full or imperfect? And then the Lord makes them full and perfect or otherwise as He desires. Then he says: My Lord, what about his livelihood, and his death and what about his disposition? And then the Lord decides about his misfortune and fortune.

Hadhaifa bin Usaid Ghifari, a Companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , reported it directly from Allah's Messenger (may peace upon him) as he said: There is an angel who looks after the womb when Allah decides to create anything after more than forty nights are over; the rest of the hadith is the same.

Abu Tufail reported that there was a dispute between Hudhaifa and one from the people of Aqabah as it happens amongst people. He said: I adjure you by Allah to tell me as to how many people were from Aqabah. The people said to him (Hudhaifa) to inform him as he had asked. We have been informed that they were fourteen and If you are to be counted amongst them, then they would be fifteen and I state by Allah that twelve amongst them were the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger (ﷺ) in this world. The rest of the three put forward this excuse: We did not hear the announcement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and we were not aware of the intention of the people as he (the Holy Prophet) had been in the hot atmosphere. He (the Holy Prophet) then said: The water is small in quantity (at the next station), so nobody should go ahead of me, but he found people who had gone ahead of him and he cursed them on that day.

Hudhaifa bin Usaid Ghifari reported: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion). He said: What do you discuss about? They (the Companions) said. We are discussing about the Last Hour. Thereupon he said: It will not come until you see ten signs before and (in this connection) he made a mention of the smoke, Dajjal, the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of Jesus, son of Mary (RA) , the Gog and Magog, and land-slidings in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia at the end of which fire would burn forth from the Yemen, and would drive people to the place of their assembly.

Hudhaifa bin Usaid reported: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) was in an apartment and we were beneath that that he peeped in and said to us: What are you discussing about? We said: We are discussing about the Last Hour. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come until the ten signs appear: land-sliding in the east, and land-sliding in the west, and land-sliding in the peninsula of Arabia, the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast of the earth, Gog and Magog, the rising of the sun from the west and the fire which would emit from the lower part of 'Adan. Shu'bah said that 'Abdul 'Aziz bin Rufai (RA) ' reported on the authority of Abu Tufail who reported on the authority of Abu Sariha a hadith like this that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) did not make a mention of (the tenth sign) but he said that out of the ten one was the descent of Jesus Christ, son of Mary (peace be upon him), and in another version it is the blowing of the violent gale which would drive the people to the ocean.

Abu Sariha reported: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in an (upper) apartment and we were standing lower to him and discussing (about the Last Hour). The rest of the hadith is the same, and Shu'bah said: I think he also said these words: The fire would descend along with them where they would land and where they would take rest (during midday (it would also cool down for a while). Shu'bah said: This hadith has been transmitted to me through Abu Tufail and Abu Sariha and none could trace it back directly to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . However, there is a mention of the descent of Jesus Christ son of Mary in one version and in the other there is a mention of the blowing of a violent wind that would drive them to the ocean.

Abu Sariha reported: We were discussing the Last Hour) that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) looked towards us. The rest of the hadith is the same and the tenth (sign) was the descent of Jesus Christ son of Mary, and Shu'bah said: 'Abdul ' Aziz (RA) did not trace it directly to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) .
