Anas (RA) reported: When Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) contracted marriage with Zainab (Allah be pleased with her), Umm Sulaim sent him hais in a vessel of stone as a gift. Anas stated that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Go and invite on my behalf all the Muslims whom you meet. So I invited on his behalf everyone whom I met. They entered (his house) and they ate and went out. And Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had kept his hand on the food, and he invoked blessing on that, and said whatever Allah wished him to say, and none whom I met was left uninvited. They ate to their fill and went out, but a group among them remained there and was engaged in lengthy discussion. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) felt shy of saying anything to them. So he went out and left them in his house and Allah the Great and Majestic revealed this verse: "O you who believe, enter not the houses of the Prophet (ﷺ) unless permission is given to you for a meal, not waiting for its cooking being finished." Qatada (instead of using the word Ghaira Nazirina) used the word Ghaira Mutahayyinina (i. e. not waiting for the time of the food). But when you are invited, enter..." up to this verse "This is purer for your hearts and their hearts."

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: When anyone who has already a wife, marries a virgin, he should stay with her for seven nights (and then turn to his other wife), but when anyone having a virgin with him (as his wife) marries a woman who has been previously married he should stay with her for three nights. Khalid (one of the narrators) said. If I were to say that it could be directly traced to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) , I would have told the truth, but he (Hadrat Anas) said: Such is the tradition.

Abu Qilaba reported on the authority of Anas (RA) : It is the Sunnah to stay with a virgin (after having married her) for a week. Khalid (one of the narrators) said: I wish I can say that it can be traced up to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) .

Anas (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had nine wives. So when he divided (his stay) with them, the turn of the first wife did not come but on the ninth (day). They (all the wives) used to gather every night in the house of one where he had to come (and stay that night). It was (the night when he had to stay) in the house of 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her), when Zainab came there. He (the Holy Prophet) stretched his hand towards her (Zainab), whereupon she ('A'isha) said: It is Zainab. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) withdrew his hand. There was an altercation between the two until their voices became loud (and it was at that time) when Iqama was pronounced for prayer. There happened to come Abu Bakr (RA) and he heard their voices and said: Messenger of Allah, (kindly) come for prayer, and throw dust in their mouths. So the Prophet (ﷺ) went out. 'A'isha said: When Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) would finish his prayer there would also come Abu Bakr (RA) and he would do as he does (on such occasions, i. e. reprimanding). When Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had finished his prayer, there came to her Abu Bakr. and spoke to her ('A'isha) in stern words and said: Do you behave like this?

Muhammad (one of the narrators) reported: I asked Anas bin Malik (RA) knowing that he had a knowledge of (the case of li'an). He said: Hilal bin Umayya (RA) accused his wife with the charge of fornication with Sharik bin Sahma, the brother of al-Bara'b Malik from the side of his mother. And he was the first person who invoked curse (li'an) in Islam. He in fact invoked curse upon her. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: See to her if she gives birth to a white-complexioned child having dark hair and bright eyes; he must be the son of Hilal bin Umayya; and if she gives birth to a child with dark eyelids, curly hair and lean shanks, he must be the offspring of Sharik bin Sahma. He said: I was informed that she gave birth to a child having dark eyelids, curly hair and lean shanks.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: We were forbidden that a townsman should sell for a man of the desert, even if he is his brother or father.

Anas reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying Never does a Muslim plant trees or cultivate land and birds or a man or a beast eat out of them but that is a charity on his behalf.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) visited the date-palms of Umm Mubashshir (Allah be pleased with her), a lady from the Ansar, and said: Who planted this palm-a Muslim or an unbelievers The rest of the hadith is the same.

Anas (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) forbade the sale of the fruit of date-palms until it becomes mellow. We (some of the other narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: What does the word" mellow" mean? He said: (There the fruit) turns red or yellow. Don't you see if Allah had checked (the growth of) fruits; then what for the wealth of your brother would be permissible for you?

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the sale of fruits until these are mellow. They (the companions of Anas) said: What is meant by" mellow"? He said: It implies that these became red. He said: When Allah hinders the growth of fruits, (then) what for the wealth of your brother would become permissible for you?

Anas (RA) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: If Allah does not fructify them, then what is permissible for one of you to take the wealth of his brother?

It is narrated on the authority of Humaid that Anas bin Malik (RA) was asked about the earnings of the cupper. He said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got himself cupped. His cupper was Abu Taiba and he (the Holy Prophet) commanded to give him two sa's of corn. He (the Holy Prophet) talked with the members of his family and they lightened the burden of Kharaj (tax) from him (i. e. they made remis- sion in the charges of their own accord). He (Allah's Apostle) (ﷺ) said: The best (treat- ment) which you take is cupping, or it is the best of your treatments.

Rumaid reported that Anas bin Malik (RA) has asked about the earnings of a cupper. Then (the above-mentioned hadith was reported but with this addition) that he said: The best treatment which you get is cupping or aloeswood and do not torture your children by pressing their uvula.

Humaid reported Anas (RA) having said this: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) called for young cupper belonging to us. He cupped him and he (the Holy Prophet) commanded that he should be paid one sa' or one mudd or two mudds (of wheat). It was said (that charges were high) and a reduction was made in the charges.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that some people belonging (to the tribe) of 'Uraina came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at Madinah, but they found its climate uncogenial. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them: If you so like, you may go to the camels of Sadaqa and drink their milk and urine. They did so and were all right. They then fell upon the shepherds and killed them and turned apostates from Islam and drove off the camels of the Prophet (ﷺ) . This news reached Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and he sent (people) on their track and they were (brought) and handed over to him. He (the Holy Prophet) got their hands cut off, and their feet, and put out their eyes, and threw them on the stony ground until they died.

Anas reported: Eight men of the tribe of 'Ukl came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and swore allegiance to him on Islam, but found the climate of that land uncogenial to their health and thus they became sick, and they made complaint of that to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and he said: Why don't you go to (the fold) of our camels along with our shepherd, and make use of their milk and urine. They said: Yes. They set out and drank their (camels') milk and urine and regained their health. They killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. This (news) reached Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he sent them on their track and they were caught and brought to him (the Holy Prophet). He commanded about them, and (thus) their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes were gouged and then they were thrown in the sun, until they died. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn al-Sabbah with a slight variation of words.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that some people of the tribe of 'Ukl or 'Uraina came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , and they found the climate of Madinah uncogenial. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded them to the milch she-camels and commanded them to drink their urine and their milk. The rest of the hadith is the same (and the concluding words are):"Their eyes were pierced, and they were thrown on the stony ground. They were asking for water, but they were not given water."

Abu Qilaba reported: I was sitting behind 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz and he said to the people: What do you say about al-Qasama? Thereupon 'Anbasa said: Anas b Malik narrated to us such and such (hadith pertaining to al-Qasama). I said: This is what Anas had narrated to me: People came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , and the rest of the hadith is the same. When I (Abu Qilaba) finished (the narration of this hadith), 'Anbasa said: Hallowed be Allah. I said: Do you blame me (for telling a lie)? He ('Anbasa) said: No. This is how Anas b Malik narrated to us. O people of Syria, you would not be deprived of good, so long as such (a person) or one like him lives amongst you.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: There came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) eight persons from the tribe of 'Ukl, but with this addition that he did not cauterise (the wounds which had been inflicted upon them while punishing them).

Anas reported: There came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) some ponple from 'Uraina. They embraced Islam and swore allegiance to him and there had spread at that time pleurisy. The rest of the hadith is the same (but with this addition): "There were by his (the Prophet's) side about twenty young men of the Ansar; he sent them (behind) them (culprits), and he also sent along with them one expert in following the track so that he might trace their footprints."

Anas reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) pierced their eyes because they had pierced the eyes of the shepherds.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that a Jew killed a girl with a stone for her silver ornaments. She was brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when there was yet some life in her. He (the Holy Prophet) said to her: Has so and so killed you? She indicated with the nod of her head: No. He said for the second time, and she again said: No with the nod of her head. He asked for the third time, and she said: Yes with the nod of her head and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded to crush his head between two stones.

Anas reported that a Jew killed a girl of the Ansar for her ornaments and then threw her in a well and smashed her head with a stone. He was caught and brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , and he commanded that he should be stoned to death. So he was stoned until he died.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: A girl was found with her head crushed between two stones. They asked her as to who had done that-has so and so (done it) until they mentioned a Jew. She indicated with the nod of her head (that it was so). So the Jew was caught, and he made confession (of his guilt). And Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded that his head be smashed with stones.

Anas reported that Umm Haritha, the sister of Rubayyi' (she was the father's sister of Hadrat Anas) injured a person (she broke his teeth). The dispute was referred to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Retribution, retribution. Umm Rubayyi' said: Messenger of Allah, will retribution be taken from so and so? By Allah, it shall not be taken from her (i. e. from Umm Haritha). Thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Hallowed be Allah. O Umm Rubayyi', Qisas (retribution is a command, prescribed) in the Book of Allah. She said: No, by Allah, Qisas will never be taken from her; and she went on saying this until they (the relatives of the one who had been injured) accepted the blood-wit. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Verily there are amongst the servants of Allah (such pious persons) who, if they take oath of Allah, He honours it.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that a person who had drunk wine was brought to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . He gave him forty stripes with two lashes. Abu Bakr (RA) also did that, but when Umar (assumed the responsibilities) of the Caliphate, he consulted people and Abdul Rahman said: The mildest punishment (for drinking) is eighty (stripes) and 'Umar therefore prescribed this punishment.

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

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) gave a beating with palm branches and shoes, and that Abu Bakr (RA) gave forty lashes. When Umar (became the Commander of the Faithful) and the people went near to pastures and towns, he said (to the Companions of the Holy Prophet). What is your opinion about lashing for drinking? Thereupon Abdul Rahman bin Auf said: My opinion is that you fix it as the mildest punishment. Then 'Umar inflicted eighty stripes.

Anas reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) used to strike forty times with shoes and palm branches (in case of drinking of) wine. The rest of the hadith is the same and there is no mention of pastures and towns.

Anas reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: There would be a flag for every perfidious person on the Day of Judgment by which he will be recognised.

It is narrated on the authority of Anas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said on the day of the Battle of Ubud: O Allah, if Thou wilt (defeat Muslims), there will be none on the earth to worship Thee.

It has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) who said: When the Muhajirs migrated from Makkah to Madinah; they came (in a state that) they had not anything (i. e. money) in their hands, while the Ansar possessed lands and date palms. They divided their properties with the Muhajirs. The Ansar divided and gave them on the condition that they would give half the fruit from the orchards every year, and the Muhajirs would recompense them by working with them and putting in labour. The mother of Anas bin Malik (RA) was called Umm Sulaim and she was also the mother of 'Abdullah bin Talha who was a brother of Anas from his mother's side. The mother of Anas had given the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) her date-palms. He bestowed them upon Umm Aiman, the slave-girl who had been freed by him and was the mother of Usama bin Zaid. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had finished the war with the people of Khaibar and returned to Madinah, the Muhajirs returned to the Ansar all the gifts which they had given them out of the fruits. (Anas bin Malik (RA) said:) The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) returned to my mother her date-palms and gave to Umm Aiman instead of them date-palms from his orchard. Ibn Shihab says that Umm Aiman was the mother of Usama bin Zaid who was the slave-girl of 'Abdullah bin 'Abd-ul-Muttalib and hailed from Abyssinia. When Amina gave birth to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) after the death of his father, Umm Aiman used to nurse him until he grew up. He (later on) freed her and married her to Zaid bin Haritha. She died five months after the death of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) .

It has been narrated by Anas that (after his migration to Madinah) a person placed at the Prophet's (ﷺ) disposal some date-palms growing on his land until the lands of Quraiza and Nadir were conquered. Then he began to return to him whatever he had received. (In this connection) my people told me to approach the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and ask from him what his people had given him or a portion thereof, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had bestowed those trees upon Umm Aiman. So I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he gave them (back) to me. Umm Aiman (also) came (at this time). She put the cloth round my neck and said: No, by Allah, we will not give to you what he has granted to me. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Umm Aiman, let him have them and for you are such and such trees instead. But she said: By Allah, there is no god besides Him. No, never! The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) continued saying: (You will get) such and such until he had granted her ten times or nearly ten times more (than the original gift).

It has been narrated on the authority of Anas that the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah (ﷺ) wrote to Chosroes (King of Persia), Caesar (Emperor of Rome), Negus (King of Abyssinia) and every (other) despot inviting them to Allah, the Exalted. And this Negus was not the one for whom the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said the funeral prayers.

The tradition has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) (the same narrator) through a different chain of transmitters, but this version does not mention: "And he was not the Negus for whom the Prophet (ﷺ) had said the funeral prayers."

It has been narrated on the authority of the same narrator through another chain of transmitters with the same difference in the wording.

It has been narrated on the authority of Anas that when (the news of) the advance of Abu Sufyan (RA) (at the head of a force) reached him, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) held consultations with his Companions. The narrator said: Abu Bakr (RA) spoke (expressing his own views), but he (the Holy Prophet) did not pay heed to him. Then spoke 'Umar (expressing his views), but he (the Holy Prophet) did not pay heed to him (too). Then Sa'd bin 'Ubadah stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, you want us (to speak). By God in Whose control is my life, if you order us to plunge our horses into the sea, we would do so. If you order us to goad our horses to the most distant place like Bark al-Ghimad, we would do so. The narrator said: Now the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called upon the people (for the encounter). So they set out and encamped at Badr. (Soon) the water-carriers of the Quraish arrived. Among them was a black slave belonging to Banu al-Hajjaj. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) caught him and interrogated him about Abu Sufyan (RA) and his companions. He said: I know nothing about Abu Sufyan (RA) , but Abu Jahl, Utba, Shaiba and Umayya bin Khalaf are there. When he said this, they beat him. Then he said: All right, I will tell you about Abu Sufyan (RA) . They would stop beating him and then ask him (again) about Abu Sufyan (RA) . He would again say, I know nothing about Abu Sufyan (RA) , but Abu Jahl, 'Utba, Shaiba and Umayya bin Khalaf are there. When he said this, they beat him likewise. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was standing in prayer. When he saw this he finished his prayer and said: By Allah in Whose control is my life, you beat him when he is telling you the truth, and you let him go when he tells you a lie. The narrator said: Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: This is the place where so and so would be killed. He placed his hand on the earth (saying) here and here; (and) none of them fell away from the place which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had indicated by placing his hand on the earth.

It has been narrated on the authority of Anas that the Quraish made peace with the Prophet (ﷺ) . Among them was Suhail bin Amr. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to 'Ali (RA) : Write "In the name of Allah, most Gracious and most Merciful." Suhail said: As for "Bismillah," we do not know what is meant by "Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim" (In the name of Allah most Gracious and most Merciful). But write what we understand, i. e. Bi ismika allahumma (in thy name. O Allah). Then, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Write: "From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah." They said: If we knew that thou were the Messenger of Allah, we would follow you. Therefore, write your name and the name of your father. So the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Write "From Muhammad bin 'Abdullah." They laid the condition on the Prophet (ﷺ) that anyone who joined them from the Muslims, the Makkahns would not return him, and anyone who joined you (the Muslims) from them, you would send him back to them. The Companions said: Messenger of Allah, should we write this? He said: Yes. One who goes away from us to join them-may Allah keep him away! and one who comes to join us from them (and is sent back) Allah will provide him relief and a way of escape.

It has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) who said: When they (Companions of the Holy Prophet) were overwhelmed with grief and distress on his return from Hudaibiya where he had slaughtered his sacrificial beasts (not being allowed to proceed to Makkah), the Qur'anic verse: Inna fatahna... laka fathan mobinan to fauzan 'aziman, was revealed to him. (At this) he said: On me has descended a verse that is dearer to me than the whole world.

This tradition has been narrated through a different chain of transmitters.
