Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: A deputation of the jinn came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: O Muhammad, forbid your community to cleans themselves with a bone or dung or charcoal, for in them Allah has provided sustenance for us. So the Prophet ﷺ forbade them to do so.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Abu Zayd quoted Abdullah ibn Masud as saying that on the night when the jinn listened to the Quran the Prophet ﷺ said: What is in your skin vessel? He said: I have some nabidh. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It consists of fresh dates and pure water. Sulayman ibn Dawud reported the same version of this tradition on the authority of Abu Zayd or Zayd. But Sharik said that Hammad did not mention the words "night of the jinn".

Narrated Alqamah: I asked Abd Allaah b Masud: Which of you was in the company of the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ on the night when the jinn attended him? He replied: None of us was with him.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: We would not wash our feet after treading on something unclean, nor would we hold our hair and garments (during prayer). Abu Dawud said: The tradition has been reported by Ibrahim bin Abi Muawiyah through a different chain of narrators: Amash - Shaqiq - Masruq - Abdullah (bin Masud). And Hannad reported from Shaqiq, or reported on his authority saying: Abdullah (bin Masud) said.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The extent of the shadow when the Messenger of Allah prayed (the noon prayer) was three to five feet in summer and five to seven feet in winter.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Amr ibn Maymun al-Awdi said: Muadh ibn Jabal, the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us in Yemen, I heard his takbir (utterance of AllahuAkbar) in the dawn prayer. He was a man with loud voice. I began to love him. I did depart from him until I buried him dead in Syria (i. e. until his death). Then I searched for a person who had deep understanding in religion amongst the people after him. So I came to Ibn Masud and remained in his company until his death. He (Ibn Masud) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: How will you act when you are ruled by rulers who say prayer beyond its proper time? I said: What do you command me, Messenger of Allah, if I witness such a time? He replied: Offer the prayer at its proper time and also say your prayer along with them as a supererogatory prayer.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: We proceeded with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the occasion of al-Hudaybiyyah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Who will keep watch for us? Bilal said: I (shall do). The overslept till the sun arose. The Prophet ﷺ awoke and said: Do as you used to do (i. e. offer prayer as usual). Then we did accordingly. He said: Anyone who oversleeps or forgets (prayer) should do similarly.

Abdullah bin Masud said: Persevere in observing these five times of prayer where the announcement for them is made, because they are from the paths of right guidance. And Allah, the Might, the Majestic, has laid down for his prophet ﷺ the paths of right guidance. I have seen the time when no one stayed away from prayer except a hypocrite whose hypocrite was well known. I witnessed the time when a man would be brought swaying between two men till he was set up in the row (of the prayer). Every one of us has a mosque of his in his house. If you were to pray in your houses and stay from your mosques. You would abandon the Sunnah (practice) of your prophet, and if you were Abandon the Sunnah (Practice) of your Prophet, you would become an unbeliever.

Abdullah (bin Masud) reported the prophet ﷺ as saying; it is more excellent for a woman to pray in her house than in her courtyard, and more excellent for her to pray in her private chamber than in her house.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Alqamah and al-Aswad sought permission from Abdullah (ibn Masud) for admission, and we remained sitting at his door for a long time. A slave-girl came out and gave them permission (to enter). He (Ibn Masud) then got up and prayed (standing) between me (al-Aswad) and him (Alqamah). He then said: I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing similarly.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He who lets his garment trail during prayer out of pride, Allah, the Almighty, has nothing to do with pardoning him and protecting him from Hell.

This tradition has also been transmitted by Abdullah (bin Masud) through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: “Do not be irregular, so have your hearts irregular, and beware of tumult such as found in market”.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught us how to pray. He then uttered the takbir (Allah is most great) and raised his hands; when he bowed, he joined his hands and placed them between his knees. When this (report) reached Saad, he said: My brother said truly. We used to do this; then we were later on commanded to do this, that is, to place the hands on the knees.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Alqamah said: Abdullah ibn Masud said: Should I pray in the way the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had performed it? He said: He prayed, raising his hands only once.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Abu Uthman an-Nahdi said: When Ibn Masud prayed he placed his left hand on the right. The Prophet ﷺ saw him and placed his right hand on his left one.

Abdullah (bin Masud) said: When any of you bows, he should spread his arms on his thighs and clap both his palms (Placing them between the knees), as if I am seeing the variation of the fingers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you bows, he should say three time,: "Glory be to my mighty Lord, " and when he prostrates, he should say: "Glory be to my most high Lord" three times. This is the minimum number. Abu Dawud said: The chain of this tradition is broken. The narrator 'Awn did not see Abdullah (bin Masud).

Abdullah (bin Masud) said: We used to salute the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was engaged in prayer and he would respond to our salutation, but when we returned from the Negas, we saluted him and he did not respond to us. He said: Prayer demands one’s whole attention.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: We used to salute during prayer and talk about our needs. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found him praying. I saluted him, but he did not respond to me. I recalled what happened to me in the past and in the present. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he said to me: Allah, the Almighty, creates new command as He wishes, and Allah, the Exalted, has sent a fresh command that you must not talk during prayer. He then returned my salutation.

Abd Allah bin Masud said: when we (prayed and) sat up during prayer along the Messenger of Allah (may peach be upon him), we said: “Peace be to Allah before it is supplicated for His servants; peace be to so and so. “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not say “Peace be to Allah, ”for Allah Himself is peace. When one of you sits (during the prayer), he should say: The adoration of the tongue are due to Allah, and acts of worship and all good things. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allah’s upright servants. When you say that, it reaches every upright servant in heavens and earth or between heavens and earth. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. Then he may choose any supplication which pleases him and offer it.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: We did not know what we should say when we sat during prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was taught (by Allah). He then narrated the tradition to the same effect. Sharik reported from Jami', from Abu Wail on the authority of Abdullah ibn Masud something similar. He said: He used to teach us also some other words, but he did not teach them as he taught us the tashahhud: O Allah, join our hearts, mend our social relationship, guide us to the path of peace, bring us from darkness to light, save us from obscenities, outward or inward, and bless our ears, our eyes, our hearts, our wives, our children, and relent toward us; Thou art the Relenting, the Merciful. And make us grateful for Thy blessing and make us praise it while accepting it and give it to us in full.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Alqamah said that Abdullah ibn Masud caught hold of his hand saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught hold of his (Ibn Masud's) hand and taught him the tashahhud during prayer. He then narrated the (well known ) tradition (of tashahhud). This version adds: When you say this or finish this, then you have completed your prayer. If you want to stand up, then stand, and if you want to remain sitting, then remain sitting.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: It pertains to the sunnah to utter the tashahhud quietly.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ was in the first two rak'ahs as though he were on heated stones. The narrator Shubah said: We said: Till he (the Prophet) got up.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ used to give the salutation to his left and right sides until the whiteness of his cheek was seen, (saying: "Peace be upon you, and mercy of Allah" twice. Abu Dawud said: This is a version of the tradition reported by Abu Sufyan. The version of Isra'il did not explain it. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Zubayr from Abu Ishaq and Yahya ibn Adam from Isra'il from Abu Ishaq from Abdur Rahman ibn al-Aswad from his father from Alqamah on the authority of Abdullah ibn Masud. Abu Dawud said: Shubah used to reject this tradition, the tradition narrated by Abu Ishaq as coming from the Prophet ﷺ.

Abdullah (bin Masud) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed five rak’ahs in the noon prayer. He was asked whether the prayer had been extended. He asked what they meant by that. The people said: you prayed five rak’ahs. Then he made two prostrations after having given the salutation.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered prayer. The version of the narrator Ibrahim goes: I do not know whether he increased or decreased (the rak'ahs of prayer). When he gave the salutation, he was asked: Has something new happened in the prayer, Messenger of Allah? He said: What is it? They said: You prayed so many and so many (rak'ahs). He then relented his foot and faced the Qiblah and made two prostrations. He then gave the salutation. When he turned away (finished the prayer), he turned his face to us and said: Had anything new happened in prayer, I would have informed you. I am only a human being and I forget just as you do; so when I forget, remind me, and when any of you is in doubt about his prayer he should aim at what is correct, and complete his prayer in that respect, then give the salutation and afterwards made two prostrations.

This tradition has also been transmitted by Abdullah (bin Masud) through a different chain of narrators. This version goes; when one of you forgets (in his prayer), he should perform two prostrations. Then he turned away, and performed two prostrations (due to forgetfulness). Abu Dawud said: The narrator Husain also reported it like al-Amash.

Abdullah (bin Masud) said; The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in five rak’ahs of prayer. When he turned away (i, e, finished his prayer), the people whispered among themselves. He asked; what is the matter with you ? They said: Messenger of Allah, has (the number of the rak’ahs of) the prayer been increased ? he said: No. they said; you have offered five rak’ahs of prayer. He then turned away and performed two prostrations, and afterwards gave the salutation. He then said: I am only a human being, I forget, as you forget.

Abu Ubaydah reported, on the authority of his father Abdullah (ibn Masud), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: When you offer the prayer, and you are in doubt about the number of rak'ahs whether offered three or four, and you have prayed four rak'ahs in all probability in your opinion, you should recite tashahhud and make two prostrations while you are sitting before giving the salutation. afterwards you should recite the tashahhud and give the salutation again. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Abd al-Wahid from Khusaif, but he did not report it as a statement of the Prophet ﷺ. The version of Abd al-Wahid has been corroborated by Sufyan, Sharik, and Isra'il. They differed amongst themselves about the text of the tradition and they did not narrate it with the continuous chain up to the Prophet ﷺ.

Abdullah (bin Masud) said; One of you should not give a share from his prayer to the devil, that he does not turn away expect to his right side. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ often turning away to his left side. the narrator Umarah said: I came to Madina afterwards and saw that the houses of the prophet ﷺ were (built) in the left.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed, he would say: Praise be to Allah, from Whom we seek help and pardon, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our souls. He whom Allah guide has no one who can lead him astray, and he whom He leads astray has no one to guide him. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. He sent him before the coming of the last hour with truth giving good tidings and warning. He who obeys Allah and His Messenger follows the right path; and he who disobeys them shall harm none except himself, and he will not harm Allah in the least.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer in the time of danger. They (the people) stood in two rows. One row was behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the other faced the enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in one rak'ah, and then the other section came and took their place; they went and faced the enemy. The Prophet ﷺ led them in one rak'ah and uttered the salutation. They stood up and prayed the second rak'ah by themselves and uttered the salutation and went away; they took the place of the other section facing the enemy. They came back and took their place. They prayed one rak'ah by themselves and then uttered the salutation.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: Seek it (laylat al-Qadr) on the seventeenth night of Ramadan, and on the twenty first night, and on the twenty-third night. He then kept silence.

Narrated Ibn Masud: Alqamah and al-Aswad said: A man came to Ibn Masud. He said: I recite the mufassal surahs in one rak'ah. You might recite it quickly as one recites verse (poetry) quickly, or as the dried dates fall down (from the tree). But the Prophet ﷺ used to recite two equal surahs in one rak'ah; he would recite (for instance) surahs an-Najm (53) and ar-Rahman (55) in one rak'ah, surahs Iqtarabat (54) and al-Haqqah (69) in one rak'ah, surahs at-Tur (52) and adh-Dhariyat (51) in one rak'ah, surahs al-Waqi'ah (56) and Nun (68) in one rak'ah, surahs al-Ma'arij (70) and an-Nazi'at (79) in one rak'ah, surahs al-Mutaffifin (83) and Abasa (80) in one rak'ah, surahs al-Muddaththir (74) and al-Muzzammil (73) in one rak'ah, surahs al-Insan (76) and al-Qiyamah (75) in one rak'ah, surahs an-Naba' (78) and al-Mursalat (77) in one rak'ah, and surahs ad-Dukhan (44) and at-Takwir (81) in one rak'ah. Abu Dawud said: This is the arrangement of Ibn Masud himself

Narrated Abdullah (bin Masud): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited Surah al-Najm and prostrated himself. No one remained there who did not prostrate (along with him). A man from the people took a handful of pebbles or dust and raised it to his face saying: This is enough for me. Abdullah (bin Masud) said: I later saw him killed as an infidel.

The above mentioned tradition has also been narrated by Abdullah (bin Masud) through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds: A bedouin said: What are you saying ? He replied: This is neither for you, nor for your companions.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ liked to supplicate three times and to ask pardon (of Allah) three times.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ said: He who begs (from people) when he is affluent will come on the Day of Resurrection with scrapes, scratchings, or lacerations on his face. He was asked: What constitutes affluence, Messenger of Allah? He replied: It is fifty dirhams or its value in gold. The narrator Yahya said: Abdullah ibn Sufyan said to Sufyan: I remember that Shubah does not narrate from Hakim ibn Jubayr. Sufyan said: Zubayr transmitted to us this tradition from Muhammad ibn Abdur Rahman ibn Yazid.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ said: If one who is afflicted with poverty refers it to me, his poverty will not be brought to an end; but if one refers it to Allah, He will soon give him sufficiency, either by a speedy death or by a sufficiency which comes later.
