'Adi bin Hatim reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made a mention of the Fire and sought refuge with Allah against it. He turned aside his face three times and then said: Protect yourselves against Fire even if with half a date. But if you fail to find it (then protect yourselves against Fire) with the help of a pleasant word).

Mundhir bin Jarir reported on the authority of his father: While we were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the early hours of the morning, some people came there (who) were barefooted, naked, wearing striped woollen clothes, or cloaks, with their swords hung (around their necks). Most of them, nay, all of them, belonged to the tribe of Mudar. The colour of the face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) underwent a change when he saw them in poverty. He then entered (his house) and came out and commanded Bilal (RA) (to pronounce Adhan). He pronounced Adhan and Iqima, and he (the Holy Prophet) observed prayer (along with his Companion) and then addressed (them reciting verses of the Holy Qur'an): '"O people, fear your Lord, Who created you from a single being" to the end of the verse, "Allah is ever a Watcher over you" (iv. 1). (He then recited) a verse of Sura Hashr: "Fear Allah, and let every soul consider that which it sends forth for the morrow and fear Allah" (lix. 18). (Then the audience began to vie with one another in giving charity.) Some donated a dinar, others a dirham, still others clothes, some donated a sa' of wheat, some a sa' of dates; till he (the Holy Prophet) said: (Bring) even if it is half a date. Then a person from among the Ansar came there with a money bag which his hands could scarcely lift; in fact, they could not (lift). Then the people followed continuously, till I saw two heaps of eatables and clothes, and I saw the face of the Messenger (ﷺ) glistening, like gold (on account of joy). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who sets a good precedent in Islam, there is a reward for him for this (act of goodness) and reward of that also who acted according to it subsequently, without any deduction from their rewards; and he who sets in Islam an evil precedent, there is upon him the burden of that, and the burden of him also who acted upon it subsequently, without any deduction from their burden.

Abu Mas'ud reported: We were commanded to give charity (despite the fact) that we were coolies. Abu 'Aqil donated half a sa'. And there came another man with more than this. The hypocrites said: Verily Allah does not stand in need of the charity of this, and the second one has done nothing but only made a show (of his charity). Then this verse was revealed. "Those who scoff at the voluntary givers of charity among the believers as well as those who cannot find anything (to give) but with their hard labour" (ix. 80). And Bishr did not utter the word Muttawwi'in.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Anas through another chain of transmitters.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying this, but I do not know whether this thing was revealed to him or not, but he said no.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gathered the Ansar and said: Is there someone alien among you? They said: No, but only the son of our sister. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The son of the sister of the people is included among the tribe, and (farther) said: The Quraish have recently abandoned Jahiliya and have just been delivered from distress; I, therefore, intend to help them and conciliate them. Don't you feel happy that the people should return with worldly riches and you return with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to your houses? (So far as my love for you is concerned I should say) if the people were to tread a valley and the Ansar tread a narrow path (in a mountain) I would tread the narrow path of the Ansar.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: When Makkah was conquered, he (the Holy Prophet) distributed the spoils among the Quraish. Upon this the Ansar said: It is strange that our swords are dripping with their blood, whereas our spoils have been given to them (to the Quraish). This (remark) reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , and so he gathered them and said: What is this that has been conveyed to me about you? They said: (Yes) it is that very thing that has reached you- and they were not (the people) to speak lie. Upon this he said: Don't you like that the people should return to their houses along with worldly riches, whereas you should return to your houses with the Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) If the people were to tread a valley or a narrow path, and the Ansar were also to tread a valley or a narrow path, I would tread the valley along with the Ansar or the narrow path along with the Ansar.

This very hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sbu'ba with the same chain of transmitters.

'A'isha reported that (once) the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace be upon him,) was presented with beef. It was said (by someone) that it had been given to Barira as sadaqah. Upon this he (the Prophet) said: It is a sadaqah for her and a gift for us.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'isha through another chain of transmitters.

Ibn 'Umar (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The month (of Ramadan) may consist of twenty nine days, and Shu'bah (one of the narrators) (gave a practical demonstration how the Holy prophet (ﷺ) explained to them) by unfolding his hands thrice and folding his thumb at the third turn. 'Uqba (one of the narrators in this chain of transmitters) said: I think that he said that the month consists of thirty days and unfolded his palm three times.

Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: We are an unlettered people who can neither write nor count. The month is thus, and thus folding his thumb when he said it the third time.

Abu'l-Bakhtari reported: We saw the new moon of Ramadan as we were at Dhit-i-'Irq. We sent a man to Ibn Abbas (RA) (Allah be pleased with both of them) to ask him (whether the sighting of a small moon had something of the nature of defect in it). Upon this Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with both of them) said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said: Verily Allah deferred its sight, but if (the new moon) is hidden from you, then, complete its number (thirty).

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to embrace (his wives) while fasting.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that in the course of a journey Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw a man, people crowding around him and providing him a shade.

Whereupon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: It is no righteousness that you fast on journey.

This hadith has been narrated by Ibn Bishr with the same chain of transmitters (but with a slight variation) that he (the Holy Prophet) inquired of them (Jews) about it (fasting on the day of 'Ashura).

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Bishar with the same chain of transmitters (with a slight variation of words and these are), that he (the narrator) said: "During any month continuously since he came to Madinah."

'Abdullah bin 'Amr (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said to him: Observe fast for a day and there would be reward for you for the rest (of the days). He said: I am capable of doing more than this. He then said: Observe fast for two days, and there would be reward for you for the rest (of the days). He said: I am capable of doing more than this. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Observe fast for three days and there would be reward for you for the rest of the days. He said: I am capable of doing more than this, whereupon he said: Observe fast for four days and there would be reward for you for the rest of the days. He said: I am capable of doing more than this. Thereupon he said: Then observe fast (which is the) best in the eye of Allah, the fast of David (peace be upon him); he used to observe fast one day and break on the other day.

Abu Qatadah (RA) al-Ansari (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about his fasting. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt annoyed. Thereupon 'Umar (RA) said: We are pleased with Allah as the Lord, with Islam as our Code of Life, with Muhammad as the Messenger and with our pledge (to you for willing and cheerful submission) as a (sacred) commitment. He was then asked about perpetual fasting, whereupon he said: He neither fasted nor did he break it, or he did not fast and he did not break it. He was then asked about fasting for two days and breaking one day. He (the Holy Prophet) said: And who has strength enough to do it? He was asked about fasting for a day and breaking for two days, whereupon he said: May Allah bestow upon us strength to do it. He was then asked about fasting for a day and breaking on the other, whereupon he said: That is the fasting of my brother David (peace be upon him). He was then asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It was the day on which I was born. on which I was commissioned with prophethood or revelation was sent to me, (and he further) said: Three days' fasting every month and of the whole of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fast. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Ashura (10th of Muharram), whereupon be said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year. Imam Muslim said (that in this hadith) there is a narration of Imam Shu'bah that he was asked about fasting on Monday and Thursday, but we (Imam Muslim) did not mention Thursday for we found it as an error (in reporting).

'Imran bin Husain (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said to a person: Did you observe fast in the middle of this month. i. e. Sha'ban? He said: No. Thereupon he said to him: When it is the end of Ramadan, then observe fast for one day or two (Shu'bah had some doubt about it) but he said: I think that he has said: two days.

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Seek it (Lailat-ul-Qadr) in the last (ten nights). If one among you shows slackness and weakness (in the earlier part of Ramadan), it should not be allowed to prevail upon him in the last week.

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who is anxious to seek it (Lailat-ul-Qadr) should seek it in the last ten (nights of Ramadan).

Zirr bin Hubaish reported that Ubayy bin Ka'b (RA) said about Lailat-ul-Qadr: By Allah, I know well about it. Shu'bah said: To the best of my knowledge it was the twenty-seventh night for which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to stand for prayer. Shu'bah doubted these words: That it was the night for which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to stand for prayer. And (he further) said: This was narrated to me by a friend of mine from him (the Holy Prophet).

'Amr bin Dinar narrated with the same chain of transmitters that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) delivering sermon at 'Arafat, and he made a mention of this hadith (as quoted above).

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: I still seem to see the glistening of the perfume where the hair was parted on Allah's Messeinger's (ﷺ) head while he was in the state of Ihram.

The narration transmitted by Hakam (the words are): Al-Sa'b bin Jaththama presented to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) the leg of a wild ass. And in the narration transmitted by Shu'bah (the words are): (He presented to him) the rump of a wild ass as the blood was trickling from it. In the narration transmitted by Shu'bah on the authority of Habib (the words are): A part of a wild ass was presented to the Apostle (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) and he returned it to him (who presented it).

This hadith is narrated on the authority of 'Uthman bin 'Abdullah bin Mauhab with the same chain of transmitters. And in the narration transmitted on the authority of Shaiban (the words are): "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Did any one of you command him to attack it or point towards it?" And in the narration transmitted by Shu'bah (the words are): "Did you point out or did you help or did you hunt?" Shu'bah said: I do not know whether he said: "Did you help or did you hunt?"

Abdullah bin Ma'qil said: I sat with Ka'b (RA) and he was in the mosque. I asked him about this verse: "Compensation in (the form of) fasting, or Sadaqa or sacrifice." Ka'b (RA) said: It was revealed in my case. There was some trouble in my head. I was taken to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and lice were creeping upon my face. Thereupon he said: I did not think that your trouble had become so unbearable as I see. Would you be able to afford (the sacrificing) of a goat? I (Ka'b) said: Then this verse was revealed: "Compensation (in the form of) fasting or alms or a sacrifice." He (the Holy Prophet) said: (It implies) fasting for three days, or feeding six needy persons, half sa' of food for every needy person. This verse was revealed particularly for me and (now) its application is general for all of you.

Sa'id bin Jubair reported on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that the camel of a person broke his neck as he was in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . The Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ) commanded them (Companions) to wash him with water mixed (with the leaves of) the lote (tree) and to keep his face exposed; (he, the narrator) said: And his head (too), for he would be raised on the Day of Resurrection pronouncing Talbiya.

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out on the 4th or 5th of Dhul'I-Hijja (for Pilgrimage to Makkah) and came to me, and he was very angry. I said: Messenger of Allah, who has annoyed you? May Allah cast him in fire. He said: Don't you know that I commanded the people to do an act, but they are hesitant. (Hakam said: I think that he said: They seem to be hesitant.) And if I were to know my affair before what I had to do subsequently, I would not have brought with me the sacrificial animals, and would have bought them (at Makkah) and would have put off Ihram as others have done.

Abu Nadra reported: Ibn'Abbas commanded the performance of Tamattu' putting Ihram for 'Umrah during the montnhs of Dhu'I-Hijja and after completing it, then putting on Ihram for Hajj), but Ibn Zubair forbade to do it. I made a mention of it to Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) and he said: It is through me that this hadith has been circulated. We entered into the state of Ihram as Tamattu' with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . When 'Umar was installed as Caliph, he said: Verily Allah made permissible for His Messenger (ﷺ) whatever He liked and as He liked. And (every command) of the Holy Qur'an has been revealed for every occasion. So accomplish Hajj and 'Umrah for Allah as Allah has commanded you; and confirm by (proper conditions) the marriage of those women (with whom you have performed Mut'a). And any person would come to me with a marriage of appointed duration (Mut'a), I would stone him (to death).

Abu Musa (RA) said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as he was encamping at Batha. He said to me: Did you intend to perform Hajj? I said: Yes. He again said: With what intention have you entered into the state of Ihram (for Ifrad, Qiran or Tamattu'). I said: I pronounced Talbiya (I have entered into the state of Ihram) with that very aim with which the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) is pronouncing Talbiya. He (the Holy Prophet) said; You have done well. Then circumambulate the House and run between al-Safa' and al-Marwah' and put off Ihram (as you have not brought the sacrificial animals along with you). So I circumambulated the House, and ran between al-Safa' and al-Marwah' and then came to a woman of the tribe of Qais and she rid my head of the lice. I again put on Ihram for Hajj, and continued giving religious verdict (according to this practice) till during the Caliphate of Umar (RA) when a person said to him: Abu Musa, or'Abdullah bin Qais (RA) , exercise restraint in delivering some religious verdict of yours, for you do not know what has been introduced after you by the Commander of the Believers in the rites (of Hajj). Thereupon he said: O people, whom we gave the religious verdict (concerning putting off Ihram) they should wait, for the Commander of the Believers is about to come to you, and you should follow him. Umar (RA) then came and I made a mention of it to him whereupon he said: If we abide by the Book of Allah (we find) the Book of Allah has commanded us to complete the Hajj and 'Umrah, and if we abide by the Sunnah of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , we find that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not put off Ihram till the sacrificial animal was brought to its end (till it was sacrificed).

Abu Musa (RA) reported that he used to deliver religious verdict in favor of Hajj Tamattu'. A person said to him: Exercise restraint in delivering some of your religious verdicts, for you do not know what the Commander of Believers has introduced in the rites (of Hajj) after you (when you were away in Yemen). He (Abu Musa) met him (Hadrat Umar) subsequently and asked him (about it), whereupon 'Umar said: I know that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) (May peace be upon him) and also his Companions did that (observed Tamattu'), but I do not approve that the married persons should have intercourse with their wives under the shade of the trees, and then set out for Hajj with water trickling down from their heads.

'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.

Sa'id bin al-Musayyab reported that 'Ali and 'Uthman (RA) met at 'Usfan; and 'Uthman used to forbid (people) from performing Tamattu' and 'Umrah (during the period of Hajj), whereupon 'Ali said: What is your opinion about a matter which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did, but you forbid it? Thereupon 'Uthman said: You leave us alone, whereupon he ('Ali) said: I cannot leave you alone. When 'Ali saw this, he put on Ihram for both of them together (both for Hajj and 'Umrah).

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Mutarrif with the same chain of transmitters.

Mutarrif reported: 'Imran bin Husain sent for me during his illness of which he died, and said: I am narrating to you some ahadith which may benefit you after me. If I live you conceal (the fact that these have been transmitted by me), and if I die, then you narrate them if you like (and these are): I am blessed, and bear in mind that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) combined Hajj and 'Umrah. Then no verse was revealed in regard to it in the Book of Allah (which abrogated it) and the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) did not forbid (from doing it). And whatever a person (Umar) said was out of his personal opinion.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'bah with the same chain of transmitters, but with a slight variation of words.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu'bah with the same chain of transmitters but with this variation (of words): "Talha and another person also were among those who had not brought the sacrificial animals with them and so they put off Ihram."
