Anas bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from weakness, and laziness, and cowardice, and old age, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trails of the life and death. "

Anas bin Malik said: I used to serve the Prophet ﷺ and often hear him say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from grief and anxiety, from the hardships of debt, and from being overpowered by men. "

Anas bin Malik narrated that the Prophet ﷺ would say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from a prayer that is of no benefit. "

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ used to say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from leprosy, madness, elephantiasis, and evil diseases. "

Narrated Hammad: I took a letter from Thumamah bin Abdullah bin Anas. He presumed that Abu Bakr had written it for Anas when he sent him (to Al Bahrain) as a collector of zakat. This (letter) was stamped with the stamp of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and was written by Abu Bakr for him (Anas). This letter goes “This is the obligatory sadaqah (zakat) which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ imposed on Muslims which Allah commanded his Prophet ﷺ to impose. Those Muslims who are asked for the proper amount must give it, but those who are asked for more than that must not give it. For less than twenty five Camels a goat is to be given for every five Camels. When they reach twenty five to thirty five, a she Camel in her second year is to be given. If there is no she Camel in her second year, a male Camel in its third year is to be given. When they reach thirty six to forty five, a she Camel in her third year is to be given. When they reach forty six to sixty, a she Camel in her fourth year which is ready to be covered by a stallion is to be given. When they reach sixty one to seventy five, a she Camel in her fifth year is to be given. When they reach seventy six to ninety, two she Camel in their third year are to be given. When they reach ninety one to a hundred and twenty, two she Camels in their fourth year are ready to be covered by a stallion are to be given. When they exceed a hundred and twenty, a she Camel in her third year is to be given for every forty and a she Camel in her fourth year for every fifty (Camels). In case the ages of the Camel vary in the payment of obligatory sadaqah (zakat) If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her fifth year is payable does not possess one but possess one in her fourth year, that will be accepted from him along with two goats if he can conveniently give them, or else twenty dirhams. If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her fourth year is payable does not possess but possesses one in her fifth year, that will be accepted from him, and the collector must give him twenty dirhams or two goats. If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her fourth year is payable possesses only one in her third year, that will be accepted from him. ” Abu Dawud said From here I could not retain accurately from Musa as I liked “And he must give along with it two goats if he can conveniently give them, or else twenty dirhams. If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her third year is payable possesses only one in her fourth year, that will be accepted from him. ” Abu Dawud said (I was doubtful) up to here, and retained correctly onward “and the collector must give him twenty dirhams or two goats. If anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her third year is payable does not possess one but possesses one in her second year, that will be accepted from him, but he must give two goats or twenty dirhams. Anyone whose Camels reach the number on which a she Camel in her second year is payable does not possess one but possesses a male Camel in its third year, that will be accepted from him, and nothing extra will be demanded along with it. If anyone possesses only four Camels, no zakat will be payable on them unless their owner wishes. If the numbers of the pasturing goats reach forty to one hundred and twenty, one goat is to be given. Over one hundred and twenty up to two hundred, two goats are to be given. If they exceed two hundred reaching three hundred, three goats are to be given. If they exceed three hundred, a goat is to be for every hundred. An old sheep, one with a defect in the eye, or a male goat is not to be accepted as sadaqah (zakat) unless the collector wishes. Those which are in separate flocks are not to be brought together and those which are in one flock are not to be separated from fear of sadaqah (zakat). Regarding what belongs to two partners, they can make claims for restitution from one another with equity, If a man’s pasturing animals are less than forty, no sadaqah (zakat) is due on them unless their owner wishes. On sliver dirhams a fortieth is payable, but if there are only a hundred and ninety, nothing is payable unless their owner wishes. ”

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said: He who collects more sadaqah than is due is like him who refuses to pay it.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A man of the Ansar came to the Prophet ﷺ and begged from him. He (the Prophet) asked: Have you nothing in your house? He replied: Yes, a piece of cloth, a part of which we wear and a part of which we spread (on the ground), and a wooden bowl from which we drink water. He said: Bring them to me. He then brought these articles to him and he (the Prophet) took them in his hands and asked: Who will buy these? A man said: I shall buy them for one dirham. He said twice or thrice: Who will offer more than one dirham? A man said: I shall buy them for two dirhams. He gave these to him and took the two dirhams and, giving them to the Ansari, he said: Buy food with one of them and hand it to your family, and buy an axe and bring it to me. He then brought it to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fixed a handle on it with his own hands and said: Go, gather firewood and sell it, and do not let me see you for a fortnight. The man went away and gathered firewood and sold it. When he had earned ten dirhams, he came to him and bought a garment with some of them and food with the others. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: This is better for you than that begging should come as a spot on your face on the Day of Judgment. Begging is right only for three people: one who is in grinding poverty, one who is seriously in debt, or one who is responsible for compensation and finds it difficult to pay.

Anas said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ found a date and said: Were it not that I fear it may be part of the sadaqah, I would eat it.

Anas said when some meat was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, he asked What is this? He was told this is a thing (meat), which was given as sadaqah to Barirah. Thereupon, he said it is sadaqah for her and a gift to us.

Anas said When the verse “You will never attain righteousness until you give freely of what you love" came down, Abu Talhah said Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I think our Lord asks us for our property. I call you as witness that I dedicate my land at Ariha ‘to Him’. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him Divide it among your nearest relatives. So he divided it among Hassan bin Thabit and Ubayy bin Kaab. Abu Dawud said I have been gold by an Ansari Muhammad bin Abdallah that the name of Abu Talhah is Zaid bin Sahal bin al-Aswad bin Haram bin ‘Amar bin Zaid bin Manat bin Adi bin Amr bin Malik bin al-Najjar; and Hassan bin Tabit is son of al-Mundhir in al-Haram. Thus both of them (Abu Talhah and Hassan) have their common link in Haram who is the third great grandfather. Ubbay bin Kaab is son of Qais bin ‘Atik bin Zaid bin Muawiyah bin Amr bin Malik bin al-Najjar. Thus the common tie between Hassan, Abu Talhah and Ubbay is Amr (bin Malik). The Ansari said between Ubbay and Abi Talhah there are six great grandfathers.

Anas reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Anyone who is pleased that his sustenance is expanded and his age extended should do kindness to his near relatives.

Anas said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed four rak’ahs at Madinah and prayed two rak’ahs of afternoon prayer at Dhu-al Hulaifah. He then passed the night at Dhu-al Hulaifah till the morning came. When he rode on his mount and it stood up on its back, he raised his voice in talbiyah.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ offered the noon prayer, and then rode on his mount. When he came to the hill of al-Bayda', he raised his voice in talbiyah.

Anas bin Malik said I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ uttering talbiyah (labbaik) aloud for both Hajj and ‘Umrah. He was saying in a loud voice “Labbaik for ‘Umrah and Hajj, labbaik for ‘Umrah and Hajj”.

Anas said The Prophet ﷺ passed the night at Dhu al Hulaifah till the morning came. He then rode (on his she Camel) which stood up with him on her back. When he reached al Baida, he praied Allaah, glorified Him and expressed His greatness. He then raised his voice in talbiyah for Hajj and ‘Umrah. The people too raised their voices in talbiyah for both of them. When we came (to Makkah), he ordered the people to take off their ihram and they did so. When the eight of Dhu Al Hijjah came, they again raised their voices in talbiyah for Hajj (i. e., wore ihram for Hajj). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed seven Camels standing with his own hand. Abu Dawud said The version narrated by Anas alone has the words. He began with the praise, glorification and exaltation of Allaah, then he raised his voice in talbiyah for Hajj.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had himself cupped on the surface of his foot because of a pain in it while he was in the sacred state (wearing ihram). Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad say: "Ibn Abi 'Arubah narrated it in Mursal form". Meaning from Qatadah.

Abd Al Aziz bin Rufai’ said I asked Anas bin Malik saying “Tell me something you knew about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ viz where he offered the noon prayer on Yawm Al Tarwiyah (8th of Dhu Al Hijjah). He replied, In Mina I asked Where did he pray the afternoon prayer on Yaum Al Nafr (12th or 13th of Dhu Al Hijjah). He replied In al-Abtah he then said “Do as your commanders do. ”

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ threw pebbles at the last jamrah (Jamrat al-'Aqabah) on the day of sacrifice. He then returned to his lodging at Mina. He called for a sacrificial animal which he slaughtered. He then called for a barber. He held the right side of his head and shaved it. He then began to distribute among those who were around him one or two hair each. He then held the left side of his head and shaved it. Again he said: Is Abu Talhah here ? He then gave it (the hair shaved off) to Abu Talhah.

Narrated Anas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed four Umrahs all in Dhu al-Qa'dah except the one which he performed along with Hajj. Abu Dawud said: From here the narrator Hudbah (b. Khalid) became certain. I heard it from Abu al-Walid, but I did nor retain: An Umrah, during the treaty of al-Hudaibiyyah, or from al-Hudaibiyyah ; and 'Umrat al-Qada' in Dhu al-Qa'dah, and an Umrah from al-Ji'ranah where he (the Prophet) distributed the booty of Hunain in Dhu al-Qa'dah, and an Umrah along with his Hajj.

Anas bin Malik said “The Prophet ﷺ manumitted Safiyyah and made her manumission her dower. ”

Narrated Anas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw the trace of yellow on Abdur-Rahman bin Awf. The Prophet ﷺ said: What is this ? He replied: Messenger of Allah, I have married a woman. He asked: How much dower did you give her ? He said: A nawat weight of gold. He said: Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ married Safiyyah, he stayed with her three nights. The narrator Uthman added: She was non virgin (previously married). He said: This tradition has been narrated to me by Hushaim, reported by Humaid, and transmitted by Anas.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: When a man who has a wife married a virgin he should stay with her seven nights ; if he marries to a woman who has been previously married he should stay with her three nights. (The narrator said: ) If I say that he (Anas) narrated this tradition from the Prophet ﷺ I shall be true. But he said: The Sunnah is so-and-so.

Anas bin Malik said Among the Jews when a woman menstruated, they did not eat with her and drink with her and did not associate with her in their houses, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was questioned about it. Hence, Allah the Exalted revealed “And they ask you about menstruation, . Say “It is harmful, so keep aloof from women during menstruation till the end of the verse. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “Associate with them in the houses and do everything except sexual intercourse. The Jews thereupon said “This man does not leave anything we do without opposing us in it. Usaid bin Hudair and Abbad bin Bishr came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Jews are saying such and such. Shall we not have intercourse with them during their menstruation? The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ underwent such a change that we thought he was angry with them, so they went out. They were met by a gift of milk which was being brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he sent after them, whereby we felt that he was not angry with them.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to break his fast before praying with some fresh dates; but if there were no fresh dates, he had a few dry dates, and if there were no dry dates, he took some mouthfuls of water.

Narrated Anas: We would not allow a man who was fasting to get himself cupped due to abomination of hardship.

Ubaid Allah bin Abu Bakr bin Anas reported on the authority of Anas bin Malik that he used to apply collyrium when he was fasting.

Narrated Anas: We travelled along with the Prophet ﷺ during Ramadan. Some of us were fasting and other broke their fast. Those who fasted did not find fault with those who broke, and those who broke their fast did not find fault with those who fasted.

Anas bin Malik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said “Umm Haram, daughter of Milhan, sister of Umm Sulaim, narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a mid day nap with them. He then awoke laughing. She said “I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what made you laugh?” He replied “I saw some people who ere sailing in the midst of the sea like kings on thrones. She said “I said the Messenger of Allah ﷺ beseech Allaah that He may put me among them. He replied “You will be among them. ” She said “He then slept and awoke laughing. She said “I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, what made you laugh? He replied as he said in the first reply. She said “I said the Messenger of Allah ﷺ beseech Allaah that HE may put me amongst them. He replied “You will be among the first. Then Ubadah bin Al Samit married her and sailed on the sea on an expedition and took her with him. When he returned, a riding beast was brought near her to ride, but it threw her down. Her neck was broken and she died.

Anas bin Malik said “Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to Quba, he used to visit Umm Haram daughter of Milhan who was married to Ubadah bin Al Samit. One day when he visited her she gave him food an sat clearing his head of lice. The narrator narrated the rest of the tradition. Abu Dawud said “Daughter of Milhan died in Cyprus”.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said: Use your property, your persons any your tongues in striving against the polytheists.

Anas bin Malik reported on the authority of his father, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “ You left behind some people in Madeenah who did not fail to be with you wherever you went and whatever you spent (of your goods) and whatever valley you crossed. They asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ how can they be with us when they are still in Madeenah? He replied “They were declined by a valid excuse. ”

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on an expedition, he took Umm Sulaym, and he had some women of the Ansar who supplied water and tended the wounded.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said: Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). The tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler) will not invalidate it. One must have faith in Divine decree.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: When we alighted at a station (for stay), we did not pray until we united the saddles of the camels.

Anas reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying “Keep to travelling by night, for the earth is traversed (more easily) by night.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The pommel of the sword of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was of silver.

The tradition mentioned above has also been narrated by Anas bin Malik through a different chain of narrators. He mentioned similar words. Abu Dawud said “the strongest of these traditions is the one of Saeed bin Abu Al Hasan. The rest are weak.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said: Go in Allah's name, trusting in Allah, and adhering to the religion of Allah's Messenger. Do not kill a decrepit old man, o a young infant, or a child, or a woman; do not be dishonest about booty, but collect your spoils, do right and act well, for Allah loves those who do well.
