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 Hurairah (RA) said: When anyone amongst you wakes up from sleep, he must not put his hand in the utensil till he has washed it three times, for he does not know where his hand was during the night.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported: Ibn 'Abbas one day addressed us in the afternoon (after the afternoon prayer) till the sun disappeared and the stars appeared, and the people began to say: Prayer, prayer. A person from Banu Tamim came there. He neither slackened nor turned away, but (continued crying): Prayer, prayer. Ibn 'Abbas said: May you be deprived of your mother, do you teach me Sunnah? And then he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) combining the noon and afternoon prayers and the sunset and 'Isha' prayers. 'Abdullah bin Shaqiq said: Some doubt was created in my mind about it. So I came to Abu Hurairah (RA) and asked him (about it) and he testified his assertion.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq al-'Uqaili reported: A person said to Ibn 'Abbas (as he delayed the prayer): Prayer. He kept silence. He again said: Prayer. He again kept silence, and he again cried: Prayer. He again kept silence and said: May you be deprived of your mother, do you teach us about prayer? We used to combine two prayers during the life of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) .

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported: I asked 'A'isha whether the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe the forenoon prayer. She said: No, except when he came back from a journey.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported: I asked 'A'isha whether the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to observe the forenoon prayer. She said: No, but when he came back from the journey.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq said: I asked 'A'isha about the Messenger of Allah's (ﷺ) voluntary prayers, and she replied: Before the noon prayer, he used to pray four rak'ahs in my house; then would go out and lead the people in prayer; then come in and pray two rak'ahs. He would then lead the people in the sunset prayer; then come in and pray two rak'ahs. Then he would lead the people in the 'Isha' prayer, and enter my house and pray two rak'ahs. He would pray nine rak'ahs during the night, including Witr. At night he would pray for a long time standing and for a long time sitting, and when he recited the Holy Qur'an while standing, he would bow and prostrate himself from the standing position, and when he recited while sitting, he would bow and prostrate himself from the sitting position, and when it was dawn he would pray two rak'ahs.

'A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would pray in the night for a long time, and when he prayed standing be bowed in a standing posture, and when he prayed sitting, he bowed in a sitting posture.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq al-'Uqaili reported: I asked 'A'isha about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the night (i. e. Tahajjud prayer) She replied: He used to pray for a long time standing and for a long time sitting in the night, and when he recited the Qur'an while standing, he would bow himself from the standing position, and when he recited while sitting, he would bow from the sitting position.

She said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would observe prayer (Nafl) in a standing position as well as in a sitting position, and when he commenced the prayer in a standing position, he bowed in this very position, and when he commenced the prayer in a sitting position, he bowed in this very position.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported: I asked 'A'isha whether the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) observed (Nafl) sitting. She said: Yes, when the people had made him old.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar reported: A person asked the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) as I stood between him (the Holy Prophet) and the inquirer and he said: Messenger of Allah, how is the night prayer? He (the Holy Prophet) said: It consists of pairs of rak'ahs, but if you apprehend morning, you should pray one rak'ah and make the end of your prayer as Witr. Then a person asked him (the Holy Prophet) at the end of the year and I was at that place near the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ; but I do not know whether he was the same person or another person, but he (the Holy Prophet) gave him the same reply.

Ibn 'Umar reported the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: Hasten to pray Witr before morning.

Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported: I said to'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her): Did the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) observe fast for full one month besides Ramadan? She said: I do not know of any month in which he fasted through-out, but that of the month of Ramadan and (the month) in which he did not fast at all, till he ran the course of his life.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported: I said to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her): Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observe fast during a month? She said, I do not know of any month in which he fasted throughout except Ramadan and (the month) in which he did not fast at all till he ran the course of his life. May peace be upon him.

She said: He used to observe fast (at times) so continuously that we said: He has fasted, he has fasted. And (at times) he did not observe fast (for days) and we began to say: He has abandoned fasting, he has abandoned fasting. She said: I did not see him observing fast throughout the whole of the month since he arrived in Madinah, but that of Ramadan.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of'Abdullah bin Shaqiq but in the chain of transmitters no mention is made of Hisham and Muhammad.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported that 'Uthman (RA) used to forbid Tamattu', whereas 'Ali (RA) ordered to do it. 'Uthman said a word to 'Ali, but 'Ali said: You know that we used to perform Tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , whereupon he said: It is right, but we entertained fear.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Moses (ؑ) was a modest person. He was never seen naked and Banu Isra'il said: (He was afraid to expose his private part) because he had been suffering from scrotal hernia. He (one day) took bath in water and placed his garments upon a stone. The stone began to move on quickly. He followed that and struck it with the help of a stone (saying): O stone, my garment; O stone, my garments, O stone; until it stopped near the big gathering of Israi'l, and this verse was revealed (pertaining to the incident): "O you who believe, be not like those who maligned Moses (ؑ), but Allah cleared him of what they said, and he was worthy of regard with Allah" (xxxiii. 69).

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (may, peace be upon him) as saying: The best age of my Umma is one in which I was sent (by Allah as an Apostle), then the one next to that. (The narrator said): And Allah knows best whether he stated this third (time) or not. Then there would come people who would love (to look) bulky and they would hasten to the witness box before they are asked to bear witness.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: When the soul of a believer would go out (of his body) it would be received bv two angels who would take it to the sky. Hammad (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) mentioned the swetness of its odour, (and further said) that the dwellers of the sky say: Here comes the pious soul from the side of the earth Let there be blessings of Allah upon the body in which it resides. And it is carried (by the angels) to its Lord, the Exalted and Glorious. He would say: Take it to its destined end. And if he is a nonbeliever and as it (the soul) leaves the body-Hammad made a mention of its foul smell and of its being cursed-the dwellers of the sky say: There comes a dirty soul from the side of the earth, and it would be said: Take it to its destined end. Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) put a thin cloth which was with him upon his nose while making a mention (of the foul smell) of the soul of a non-believer.
