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).

Abdul Rahman bin Yazid said: When al-Ash'ath bin Qais entered the house of 'Abdullah he was having his breakfast. He ('Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) said: Abu Muhammad (al-Asha'th), came near to the breakfast. Thereupon he said: Is not today the Day of 'Ashura? He ('Abdul Rahman) said: Do you know what the Day of 'Ashura is? He said: What is it? He said: It is a day on which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used To observe fast before the (fasting) in the month of Ramadan became obligatory. But when it became obligatory the (fasting of 'Ashura) was abandoned (as compulsory). Abu Kuraib said: He (the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) abandoned it.

Qais b. Sakan reported that al-Ash'ath bin Qais went to 'Abdullah on the day of 'Ashura while he was eating. He said: Abu Muhammad, come near and dine. Upon this he said: I am fasting. Thereupon he said: We used to observe fast and then (this practice) was abandoned.

'Alqama reported that Ash'ath bin Qais went to Ibn Mas'udd while he was eating on the day of Ashura. Thereupon he said: Abu Abdul Rahman, it is the day of 'Ashura (and you are eating). Upon this he said: Fast was observed on (this day) before the (fasting) in Ramadan was made obligatory, but when it was made obligatory, (fasting on the day of 'Ashura) was abandoned. So if you are not fasting, then take food.

'Abdullah narrated to us as we had gathered (at Muzdalifa): I have heard from one upon whom Surah al-Baqarah was revealed (the Holy Prophet) pronouncing Talbiya at this place.

'Abdul Rahman bin Yazid reported that 'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) pronounced Talbiya as he returned from the gathering of the people (at Muzdalifa). It was said: He might be a Bedouin (not knowing correctly the rituals of Hajj and, therefore, pronouncing Talbia at this stage), whereupon'Abdullah said: Have the people forgotten (this Sunnah of the Holy Prophet) or have they gone astray? I heard him, upon whom Surah al-Baqarah was revealed, pronouncing Talbiya at the very place.

'Abdul Rahman bin Yazid and al-Aswad bin Yazid reported: We heard 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud saying to the gathering of people (at Muzdalifa) that he had heard Talbiya from him, upon whom Surah al-Baqarah was revealed, at this very place. And so he ('Abdullah bin Mas'ud) pronounced Talbiya and we also pronounced it with him.

A'bdullah (b. 'Umar) reported: I have never seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) but observing the prayers at their appointed times except two players, sunset and 'Isha, ' at Muzdalifa (where he deferred the sunset prayer to combine it with 'Isha' and he observed the dawn prayer before its stipulated time on that day (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja).

'Abdul Rahman bin Yazid reported that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA) threw seven pebbles at Jamrat al-'Aqabahh from the heart of the valley. He pronounced Takbir with every pebble. It was said to him that people fling stones from the upper side (of the valley), whereupon 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (Allah he pleased with them) said: By him, besides Whom there is no other God, that is the place (of flinging stones) of one upon whom Surah al-Baqarah was revealed (the Holy Prophet).

A'mash reported: I heard Hajjaj bin Yusuf saying as he was delivering sermon on the pulpit: Observe the order of the (Holy) Qur'an which has been observed by Gabriel (ؑ). (Thus state the surahs in this manner) "one in which mention has been made of al-Baqarah,", "one in which mention has been made of women (Surah al-Nisa')" and then the surah in which mention has been made of the Family of 'Imran. He (the (narrator) said: I met Ibrahim and informed him about these words of his (the statement of Hajjaj bin Yusuf). He cursed him and said: Abdul Rahman bin Yazid has narrated to me that when he was in the company of 'Abdullah bin Mas'udd (RA) he came to Jamrat al-'Aqabahh and then entered the heart of the valley and faced towards it (the Jamra) and then flung seven pebbles at it from the heart of the valley pronouncing Takbir with every pebble. I said: Abu 'Abdul Rahman, people fling pebbles at it (Jamra) from the upper side, whereupon he said: By Him besides Whom there is no God, that is the place (of flinging pebbles of one) upon whom Surah al-Baqarah was revealed;

Abdul Rahman bin Yazid reported that he performed Hajj along with 'Abdullah (RA) and he flung seven pebbles at al-Jamra (from a position) that the House was on his left and Mina was on his right and said: That is the place (of flinging pebbles of one) upon whom Surah al-Baqarah was revealed.

Abdul Rahman bin Yazid reported: It was said to 'Abdullah (RA) that people threw pebbles at the Jamra from the upper side of 'Aqabahh, whereas he threw stones at it from the heart of the valley, whereupon he said: By Him besides Whom there is no god, it is at this very place that one upon whom was revealed Surah al-Baqarah, threw stones at it.

'Alqama reported: While I was walking with 'Abdullah at Mina, 'Uthman happened to meet him. He stopped there and began to talk with him. 'Uthman said to him: Abu 'Abdul Rahman, should we not marry you to a young girl who may recall to you some of the past of your bygone days; thereupon he said: If you say so, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: O young men, those among you who can support a wife should marry, for it restrains eyes from casting (evil glances) and preserves one from immorality; but those who cannot should devote themselves to fasting for it is a means of controlling sexual desire.

'Alqama reported: While I was going along with 'Abdullah bin Ma'sud (RA) in Mina, 'Uthman bin 'Affan (RA) happened to meet him and said: Come here, Abu 'Abdul Rahman (kunya of'Abdullah bin Mas'ud), and he isolated him (from me), and when 'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) saw that there was no need (for this privacy), he said to me: 'Alqama, come on, and so I went there. (Then) 'Uthman said to him: Abu Abdul Rahman, should we not marry you to a virgin girl that your past may be recalled to your mind? 'Abdullah said: If you say so, the rest of the hadith is the same as narrated above.

Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us: O young men, those among you who can support a wife should marry, for it restrains eyes (from casting evil glances) and preserves one from immorality; but he who cannot afford it should observe fast for it is a means of controlling the sexual desire.

Abu al-Rahman bin Yazid said: I and my uncle 'Alqama and al-Aswad went to 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA) . He (the narrator further) said: I was at that time young, and he narrated a hadith which it seemed he narrated for me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said like one transmitted by Mu'awiyah, and further added: I lost no time in marrying.

'Abdul Rahman bin Yazid reported on the authority of'Abdullah (RA) : We went to him, and I was the youngest of all (of us), but he did not mention: "I lost no time in marrying."

Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: We were on an expedition with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and we had no women with us. We said: Should we not have ourselves castrated? He (the Holy Prophet) forbade us to do so. He then granted us permission that we should contract temporary marriage for a stipulated period giving her a garment, and 'Abdullah then recited this verse: 'Those who believe do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you, and do not transgress. Allah does not like trangressers" (al-Qur'an, v. 87).

'Abdullah reported: We were on the night of Friday staying in the mosque when a person from the Ansar came there and said: If a person finds his woman along with a man, and he speaks about it, you would lash him, and if he kills, you will kill him, and if he keeps quiet he shall have to consume anger. By Allah, I will definitely ask about him from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . On the following day he came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him thus: If a man were to find with his wife a man and if he were to talk about it, you would lash him; and if he killed, you would kill him, and if he were to keep quiet, he would consume anger, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah, solve (this problem), and he began to supplicate (before Him), and then the verses pertaining to li'an were revealed: "Those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves" (xxiv. 6). The person was then put to test according to these verses in the presence of the people. There came he and his wife in the presence of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and they invoked curses (in order to testify their claim). The man swore four times in the name of Allah that he was one of the truthful and then invoked curse for the fifth time saying: Let there be curse of Allah upon him if he were among the liars. Then she began to invoke curse. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to her: just wait (and curse after considering over it), but she refused and invoked curse and when she turned away, he (Allah's Apostle) (ﷺ) said: It seems that this woman shall give birth to a curly-haired black child, and so she did gave birth to a curly-haired black child.

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

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) (RA) said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) cursed the one who accepted interest and the one who paid it I asked about the one who recorded it, and two witnesses to it. He (the narrator) said: We narrate what we have heard.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: It is not permissible to take the life of a Muslim who bears testimony (to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, but in one of the three cases: the married adulterer, a life for life, and the deserter of his Din (Islam), abandoning the community.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up and said: By Him besides Whom there is no god but He, the blood of a Muslim who bears the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and I am His Messenger, may be lawfully shed only in case of three persons: the one who abandons Islam, and deserts the community [Ahmad, one of the narrators, is doubtful whether the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) used the word li'l-jama'ah or al-jama'ah), and the married adulterer, and life for life.

'Abdullah bin (Mas'ud) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The first (thing) that will be decided among people on the Day of Judgment will pertain to bloodshed.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah through another chain of transmitters with a slight variation of words.

'Abdullah reported Allah's Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: There will be a flag for every perfidious person on the Day of Judgment, and it would be said: Here is the perfidy of so and so.

It has been narrated on the authority of'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There will be for every perfidious person on the Day of Judgment a flag by which he will be recognised. It will be announced: Here is the breach of faith of so and so.

It has been narrated by Ibn'Abdullah who said: The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) entered Makkah. There were three hundred and sixty idols around the Ka’bah. He began to thrust them with the stick that was in his hand saying: "Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Lo! falsehood was destined to vanish" (xvii. 8). Truth has arrived, and falsehood can neither create anything from the beginning nor can it restore to life

It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah who said: It appeared to me as if I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (and heard him) relate the story of a Prophet (ﷺ) who had been beaten by his people, was wiping the blood from his face and was saying. My Lord, forgive my people, for they do not know.

It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas'ud who said: While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was saying his prayer near the Ka’bah and Abu Jahl with his companions was sitting (near by), Abu Jahl said, referring to the she-camel that had been slaughtered the previous day: Who will rise to fetch the foetus of the she-camel of so and so, and place it between the shoulders of Muhammad when he goes down in prostration (a posture in prayer). The one most accursed among the people got up, brought the foetus and, when the Prophet (ﷺ) went down in prostration, placed it between his shoulders. Then they laughed at him and some of them leaned upon the others with laughter. And I stood looking. If I had the power, I would have thrown it away from the back of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . The Prophet (ﷺ) had bent down his head in prostration and did not raise it, until a man went (to his house) and informed (his daughter) Fatima, who was a young girl (at that time) (about this ugly incident). She came and removed (the filthy thing) from him. Then she turned towards them rebuking them (the mischief-mongers). When the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his prayer, he invoked God's imprecations upon them in a loud voice. When he prayed, he prayed thrice, and when he asked for God's blessings, he asked thrice. Then he said thrice: O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the Quraish. When they heard his voice, laughter vanished from them and they feared his malediction. Then he said: O God, it is for Thee to deal with Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'ah, Shaiba bin Rabi'ah. Walid bin Uqba, Umayya bin Khalaf, Uqba bin Abu Mu'ait (and he mentioned the name of the seventh person. which I did not remember). By One Who sent Muhammad with truth, I saw (all) those he had named lying slain on the Day of Badr. Their dead bodies were dragged to be thrown into a pit near the battlefield.Abu Ishiq had said that the name of Walid bin 'Uqba has been wrongly mentioned in this tradition.

It has been narrated by'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) who said: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was lying postrate in prayer and around him were some people from the Quraish, 'Uqba bin Abu Mu'ait brought the foetus of a she-camel and threw it on the back of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . He did not raise his head until Fatima arrived, removed it from his back and cursed him who had done that (ugly act). He said: O Allah, it is for Thee to deal with the chiefs of the Quraish. Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'ah. Uqba bin Abu Mu'ait, Shaiba bin Rabi'ah, Umayya bin Khalaf or Ubayy bin Khalaf (Shu'bah, one of the narrator of this tradition is in doubt about the exact person). I saw that all were slain in the Battle of Badr and their dead bodies were thrown into a well, except that of Umayya or Ubayy which was cut into pieces and was thrown into the well.

It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah that, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned his face towards the Ka’bah and invoked God's imprecations upon six men of the Quraish, among whom were Abu Jahl, Umayya bin Khalaf, Utba bin Rabi'ah, Shaiba bin Rabi'ah and 'Uqba bin Abu Mu'ait I swear by God that I saw them lying slain in the battlefield of Badr. It being a hot day, their complexion had changed (showing signs of decay).

It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: After me there will be favouritism anad many things that you will not like. They (his Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, what do you order that one should do it anyone from us has to live through such a time? He said: You should discharge your own responsibility (by obeying your Amir), and ask God to cuncede your right (by guiding the Amir to the right path or by replacing him by one more just and God-fearing).

It has been narrated on the authority of Masruq Who said: We asked 'Abdullah about the Qur'anic verse:" Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they are alive, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord.." (iii. 169). He said: We asked the meaning of the verse (from the Holy Prophet) who said: The souls, of the martyrs live in the bodies of green birds who have their nests in chandeliers hung from the throne of the Almighty. They eat the fruits of Paradise from wherever they like and then nestle in these chandeliers. Once their Lord cast a glance at them and said: Do ye want anything? They said: What more shall we desire? We eat the fruit of Paradise from wherever we like. Their Lord asked them the same question thrice. When they saw that they will continue to be asked and not left (without answering the question). they said: O Lord, we wish that Thou mayest return our souls to our bodies so that we may be slain in Thy way once again. When He (Allah) saw that they had no need, they were left (to their joy in heaven).

'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Verity the most grievously tormented people on the Day of Resurrection would be the painters of pictures. Ashajj (one of the narrators) in the hadith narrated by him did not make mention of the word" verity".

Muslim bin Subaih reported: I was with Masruq in the house which had the portrayals of Mary (hadrat Maryam). Thereupon Masruq said: These are portraits of Kisra. I said: No, these are of Mary. Masruq said: I heard'Abdullah b, Mas'ud as saying Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had said: The most grievously tormented people on the Day of Resurrection would be the painters of pictures.

'Abdullah reported that Allah had cursed those women who tattooed and who have themselves tattooed, those who pluck hair from their faces and those who make spaces between their teeth for beautification changing what God has created. This news reached a woman of the tribe of Asad who was called Umm Ya'qub and she used to recite the Holy Qur'an. She came to him and said: What is this news that has reached me from you that you curse those women who tattooed and those women who have themselves tattooed, the women who pluck hair from their faces and who make spaces between their teeth for beautification changing what God has created? Thereupon 'Abdullah said: Should I not curse one upon whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has invoked curse and that is in the Book also. Thereupon that woman said: I read the Qur'an from cover to cover, but I did not find that in it. whereupon he said: If you had read (thoroughly) you would have definitely found this in that (as) Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has said:" What Allah's Messenger brings for you accept that. and what he has forbidden you. refrain from that." That woman said: I find this thing in your wife even now. Thereupon he said: Go and see her. She reported: I went to the wife of 'Abdullah but found nothing of this sort in her. She came back to him and said: I have not seen anything. whereupon he said: Had there been anything like it in her, I would have never slept with her in the bed.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of'Abdullah.

Ibn Mas'ud reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: The sign that you have been permitted to come in is that the curtain is raised or that you hear me speaking quietly until I forbid you.

'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If you are three, two amongst you should not converse secretly between yourselves to the exclusion of the other (third one), until some other people join him (and dispel his loneliness), for it may hurt his feelings.
