Yahyā bin Yahyā narrated to us, Hushaym informed us, on authority of Sulaymān at-Taymī, on authority of Abī Uthmān an-Nahdī, he said, Umar bin ul-Khattāb, may Allah be pleased with him, said: ‘It is enough of a lie for a man that he narrates everything he hears’.

It is reported on the authority of Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas: Both of my ears heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying this: He who claimed the fatherhood of anyone else besides his real father knowingly (committed a great sin) ;Paradise is forbidden to him. Abu Bakra (RA) asserted that he too heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace be upon him ).

Sa'd and Abu Bakra (RA) each one of them said: My ears heard and my hearing preserved it that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) observed: He who claimed for another one his fatherhood besides his own father knowingly that he was not his father-to him Paradise is forbidden.

Qabisa bin al-Mukhariq and Zuhair bin 'Amr reported: When this verse was revealed:" And warn thy nearest kindred," the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) set off towards a rock of the hill and ascended the highest of the rocks and then called: O sons of 'Abd Manaf! I am a warner; my similitude and your similitude is like a man who saw the enemy and went to guard his people, but, being afraid they might get there before him, he shouted: Be on your guard!

This hadith is narrated from the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) by another chain of narrators, Muhammad bin Abdul A'la, Mu'tamir, Abu 'Uthman, Zuhair bin 'Amr, Qabisa bin Mukhariq.

Ibn 'Abbas reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Among the inhabitants of the Fire Abu Talib would have the least suffering, and he would be wearing two shoes (of Fire) which would boil his brain.

Ubayy bin Ka'b reported: There was a man, and I do not know of any other man, whose house was farther than his from the mosque and he never missed the prayer (in congregation). It was said to him or I said to him: If you were to buy a donkey you could ride upon it in the dark nights and in the burning sand. He said: I do not like my house to be situated by the side of the mosque, for I (eagerly) desire that my steps towards the mosque and back from it, should be recorded when I return to my family. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Allah has gathered all (rewards) for you.

Ubayy bin Ka'b reported: There was a person among the Ansar whose house was situated at the farthest end of Madinah, but he never in missed any prayer along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . We felt pity for him and said to him: O, so and so, had you bought a donkey it would have saved you from the burning sand and would have saved you from the reptiles of the earth. He said: Listen! by Allah, I do not like my house to be situated by the side of Muhammad (ﷺ) . I took (these words of his) ill and came to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him about (these words). He (the Holy Prophet) called him and he said exactly like that (which he had mentioned to Ubbay bin Ka'b), but made a mention of this (also) that he wanted a reward for his steps. Upon this the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: In fact for you is the reward which you expect.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported. My friend (the Holy Prophet, may peace be upon him) has instructed me to do three things: three fasts during every month, two rak'ahs of the forenoon prayer, and observing Witr prayer before going to bed.

A hadith like this has been narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) by another chain of transmitters.

Usama bin Zaid reported: While we were with the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , one of his daughters sent to him (the Messenger) to call him and inform him that her child or her son was dying. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told the messenger to go back and tell her that what Allah had taken belonged to Him, and to him belonged what He granted; and He has an appointed time for everything. So you (the messenger) order her to show endurance and seek reward from Allah. The messenger came back and said: She adjures him to come to her. He got up to go accompanied by Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, Mu'adh bin Jabal, and I also went along with them. The child was lifted to him and his soul was feeling as restless as if it was in an old (water skin). His (Prophet's) eyes welled up with tears. Sa'd said: What is this, Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) He replied: This is compassion which Allah has placed in the hearts of His servants, and God shows compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate.

This hadith has been narrated by Sulaiman al-Taimi with the same chain of transmitters (but with a slight variation of words) that he (the Holy Prophet) said: The dawn is not like it as it is said; he then gathered his fingers and lowered them. But he said, it is like this (and he placed the index finger upon the other one and spread his hand).

Abdullah (RA) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Do not meet the traders (in the way).

It has been reported on the authority of Mujashi' bin Mas'ud as-Sulami who said: I came to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) to offer him my pledge of migration. He said: The period of migration has expired (and those who wereto get the reward for this great act of devotion have got it). You may now give your pledge to serve the cause of Islam, to strive in the way of Allah and to follow the path of virtue.

It has been reported on the authority of Mujashi' bin Mas'ud who said: I brought my brother Abu Ma'bad to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) after the conquest of Makkah and said: Messenger of Allah, allow him to swear his pledge of migration at your hand. He said: The period of migration is over with those who had to do it (and now nobody can get this meritorious distinctions) I said: For what actions will you allow him to bind himself in oath? He said: (He can do so) for serving the cause of Islam, for fighting in the way of Allah and for fighting in the cause of virtue. Abd 'Uthman said: I met Abd Ma'bad and told him what I had heard from Mujashi'. He said: He has told the truth.

It has been narrated by Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The people of the West will continue to triumphantly follow the truth until the Hour is established.

'Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr (RA) reported: We were one hundred and thirty (persons) with Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Does any one of you possess food? There was a person with (us) who had a sa' of flour or something about that, and it was kneaded. Then a tall polytheist with dishevelled hair came driving his flock of sheep. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Would you like to sell it (any one of these goats) or offer it as a gift or a present? He said: No, (I am not prepared to offer as a gift), but I would sell it. He (the Holy Prophet) bought a sheep from him, and it was slaughtered and its meat was prepared, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded that its liver should be roasted. He (the narrator) said: By Allah, none among one hundred and thirty persons was left whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not given a part out of her liver; if anyone was present he gave it to him. but if he was absent it was set aside for him. And he (the Holy Prophet) filled two bowls (one with soup and the other with mutton) and we all ate out of them to our hearts' content, but (still) some part was (left) in (those) two bowls, and I placed it on the camel- (or words to the same effect).

'Abdul Rabman bin Abu Bakr (RA) reported that the people of Suffa were very poor. Once the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said (to his Companions): He who amongst you has food for two persons should take three (guests with him), and he who has with him food for four persons should take five or six (guests with him for entertaining them). It was (in accordance with these instructions of the Holy Prophet) that Abu Bakr (RA) brought three persons, and the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) brought ten persons (as guests to their respective houses). Abu Bakr (RA) had brought three persons (he himself, and myself), my father and my mother (along with therm). He (the narrator) said: I do not know whether he also said: My wife and one servant who was common between our house and that of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr (RA) had had his evening meal with Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . He stayed here until night prayer had been offered. He then came back (to the house of Allah's Apostle) (ﷺ) and stayed there until Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) felt drowsy and (Abu Bakr) then came (back to his own house) when (a considerable) part of the night had been over, as Allah had desired. His wife said to him: What held you back from your guests? He said: Oh! have you not served them the evening meal (by this time)? She said: It was in fact served to them. but they refused to eat until you came. He ('Abdul Rahman) said: I slunk away and bid myself. He (Abu Bakr) said: O, you stupid fellow, and he reprimanded me, and said to the guests: Eat, though it may not be pleasant now. He said: By Allah. I will never eat it. He ('Abdul Rahman) said: By Allah! we did not take a morsel when from beneath that (there appeared) more until they had eaten to their fill, and lo! it was more than what it was before. Abu Bakr (RA) saw that and found that it was so or more than that. He said to his wife: Sister of Band Firis, what is this? She said: By the coolness of my eyes. it is in excess by three times over the previous one. Then Abu Bakr (RA) ate saying: That was from the Satan (viz. his vow for not eating the food). He then took a morsel out of that and then took it (the rest) to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , and it was kept there until morning, and during (those days) there was a covenant between us and some other people, and the period of covenant was over, and we had appointed twelve officials with every person amongst them. It is Allah only Who knows as to how many people were there with each of them. He sent (this food to them) and all of them ate out of it.

'Abdul Rahman bin Abu Bakr (RA) reported: There came to our house some guests. It was a common practice with my father to (go) and talk to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) during the night. While going he said: 'Abdul Rahman, entertain the guests. When it was evening we served the food to them, but they refused saying: So long as the owner of the house does not come and join us, we would not take the meal. I said to them: He ('Abu Bakr) is a stern person, and if you would not do that (if you do not take the food), I fear, I may be harmed by him, but they refused. As he (my father) came, the first thing he asked was: Have you served the guests? They (the people of the household) said: We have not served them so far. He said: Did I not command 'Abdul Rahman (to do this)? He ('Abdul Rahman) said: I sunk away and kept myself away by that time. He again said: O stupid fellow, I ask you on oath that in case you hear my voice you come to me. I came and said: By Allah, there is no fault of mine. These are your guests; you may ask them. I provided them with food but they refused to eat until you came. He said to them: Why is it that you did not accept our food? By Allah, I shall not even take food tonight (as you have not taken). They said: By Allah, we would not take until you join us. Thereupon he Abu Bakr (RA) said: I have never seen a more unfortunate night than this. Woe be to thee! that you do not accept from us food prepared for you. He again said: What I did first (that is the taking of vow for not eating the food) was prompted by the Satan. Bring the food. The food was brought, and he ate by reciting the name of Allah and they also ate, and when it was morning he came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, their oath (that of the guests) came to be true, but mine was not true, and after that he informed him of the whole incident. He said: Your oath came to be the most true and you are the best of them. He (the narrator) said. I do not know whether he made an atonement for it.

'Asim al-Abwal reported on the authority Abu 'Uthman saying: 'Umar wrote to us when we were in Adharba'ijan saying: 'Utba bin Farqad, this wealth is neither the result of your own labour nor the result of the labour of your father, nor the result of the labour of your mother, so feed Muslims at their own places as you feed (members of your family and yourselves at your own residence), and beware of the life of pleasure, and the dress of the polytheists and wearing of silk garments, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the wearing of silk garments, but only this much, and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) raised his. forefinger and middle finger and he joined. them (to indicate that only this much silk can be allowed in the dress of a man). 'Asim said also: This is what is recorded in the lette., (sent to us), and Zuhair raised his two fingers (to give an idea of the extent to which silk may be used).

Abu 'Uthman reported: While we were with 'Utba bin Farqad there came a letter of 'Umar (containing the instructions) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had said: None should wear silk (with the exception of so much) but he will have nothing of it in the Hereafter. Abu 'Uthman said: To the extent of two fingers which are close to the thumb, and I was shown the (silk) borders of the Tayalisa mantle (which were about two fingers in breadth and I saw them.

The previous hadith is narrated likewise through another chain of transmitters.

Qatada reported: I heard Abe 'Uthman al-Nahdi as saying: There came to us a letter of 'Umar as we were in Adharba'ijan or in Syria in the company of 'Utba bin Farqad (and the letter ran thus): After (usual praise and glorification of Allah) it is stated that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has forbidden the use of silk btit to the extent of these two fingers, and Abu 'Uthman said: We at once understood by these words that he meant (silk) patterns on (the cloth).

'Amr bin al-'As reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent him in command of the army despatched to Dhat-as-Salasil. When 'Amr bin al-'As came back to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) he said: Who amongst people are dearest to you? He said: A'isha. He then said: Who amongst men? He said: Her father, and I said: And who next? He said: Umar. He then enumerated some other men.

Abu Musa al-Ash'ari reported that while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in one of the gardens of Madinah, reclining against a pillow and fixing a stick in a mud, that a person came asking for the gate to be opened, whereupon he said: Open it for him and give him glad tidings of Paradise and, lo, it was Abu Bakr. I opened (the gate) for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then another person asked for the door to be opened, whereupon he said: Open it and give him the glad tidings of Piradise. He said: I went away and, lo, it was 'Umar. I opened it for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then still another man asked for the door to be opened, and thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Open it and give him the glad tidings of Paradise after a trial would afflict him. I went and, lo, it was 'Uthman bin 'Affan. 1 opened the door and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise and informed him (what the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) had said). Thereupon he said: O Allah, grant me steadfastness. Allah is one Whose help is to be sought.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari with a slight variation of wording.

Abu 'Uthman reported on one of the days when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was fighting and none remained with him save Talha and Sa'd.

Salman reported: In case it lies in your power don't be one to enter the bazar first and the last to get out of that because there is a bustle and the standard of Satan is set there. He said: I was informed that Gabriel (ؑ) (RA) came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and there was with him Umm Salamah and he began to talk with him. He then stood up, whereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said to Umm Salamahh (RA) : (Do you know) who was he and what did he say? She said: He was Dihya (Kalbi). He reported Umm Salamah having said: By Allah, I did not deem him but only he (Dihya) until I heard the address of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) informing him about us. He (the narrator) said: I said to 'Uthman: From whom did you hear it? He said: From Usama bin Zaid.

Abu Burza al-Aslami reported that a slave-girl was riding a dromedary and there was also the luggage of people upon it that she suddenly saw Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . The way of the mountain was narrow and she said (to that dromedary): Go ahead (but that dromedary did not move). She (that slave-girl), out of anger, said: O Allah, let that (dromedary) be damned. Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Let the dromedary on which the curse has been invoked not proceed with us.

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Mu'awiyah went to a circle in the mosque and said: What makes you sit here? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah. He said: I adjure you by Allah (to tell me whether you are sitting here for this very purpose)? They said: By Allah, we are sitting here for this very purpose. Thereupon, he said: I have not demanded you to take an oath, because of any allegation against you and none of my rank in the eye of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is the narrator of so few ahadith as I am. The fact is that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the circle of his Companions and said: What makes you sit? They said: We are sitting here in order to remember Allah and to praise Him for He guided us to the path of Islam and He conferred favours upon us. Thereupon he adjured by Allah and asked if that only was the purpose of their sitting there. They said: By Allah, we are not sitting here but for this very purpose, whereupon he (the Messenger) said: I am not asking you to take an oath because of any allegation against you but for the fact that Gabriel (ؑ) came to me and he informed me that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, was talking to the angels about your magnificence.

Abu Musa reported: We were along with Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) on a journey when the people began to pronounce Allah-o-Akbar in a loud voice. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: O people, show mercy to yourselves for you are not calling One Who is deaf or absent. Verily, you are calling One Who is All-Hearing (and) Near to you and is with you. Abu Musa told that he had been behind him (the Holy Prophet) and reciting: "There is neither might nor power but that of Allah." He (the Holy Prophet), while addressing 'Abdullah bin Qais (RA) , said: Should I not direct you to a treasure from amongst the treasurers of Paradise? I ('Abdullah bin Qais (RA) ) said: Allah's Messenger, do it, of course. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Then recite: "There is no might and no power but that of Allah."

Abu Musa reported that he (and his other companions) were climbing upon the hillock along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and when any person climbed up, he pronounced (loudly): "There is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest." Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Verily, you are not supplicating One Who is deaf or absent. He said: Abu Musa or 'Abdullah b Qais, should I not direct you to the words (which form) the treasure of Paradise? I said: Allah's Messenger, what are these? He said: "There is no might and no power but that of Allah."

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Musa with a slight variation of wording.

Abu Musa reported: We were along with Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) on a journey; the rest of the hadith is the same as transmitted by A'sim.

Abu Musa, reported. We were along with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in an expedition. The rest of the hadith is the same (and there is an addition of these words in that): "He (the Holy Prophet) said: He Whom you are supplicating is nearer to every one of you than the neck of his camel." And there is no mention of these words: "There is no might and no power but that of Allah."

Abu Musa Ash'ari reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Should I not direct you to the words from the treasures of Paradise, or he said: Like a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? I said: Of course, do that. Thereupon he said: "There is no might and no power but that of Allah."

Zaid bin Alqam reported: I am not going to say anything but only that which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to say. He used to supplicate: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from incapacity, from sloth, from cowardice, from miserliness, decrepitude and from torment of the grave. O Allah, grant to my soul the sense of righteousness and purify it, for Thou art the Best Purifier thereof. Thou art the Protecting Friend thereof, and Guardian thereof. O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the knowledge which does not benefit, from the heart that does not entertain the fear (of Allah), from the soul that does not feel contented and the supplication that is not responded."

Usama bin Zaid reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I stood at the door of Paradise and I found that the overwhelming majority of those who entered therein was that of poor persons and the wealthy persons were detained to get into that. The denizens of Hell were commanded to get into Hell, and I stood upon the door of Fire and the majority amongst them who entered there were women.

Usama bin Zaid reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I have not left after me any (chance) of turmoil more injurious to men than the harm done to the men because of women.

Usama bin Zaid bin Harith and Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Naufal both reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I have not left after me turmoil for the people but the harm done to men by women.
