Yahya ibn Ayyub, Qutaybah, and Ibn Hujr narrated to us, they said: Isma'il—meaning Ibn Ja'far—narrated to us, from Al-'Ala', from his father, from Abu Hurayrah.
And Ibn Numayr, Abu Kurayb, and 'Amr al-Naqid narrated to us, they said: Ishaq ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Hanzalah, from Salim, from Abu Hurayrah.
And Muhammad ibn Rafi' narrated to us, 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar narrated to us, from Hammam ibn Munabbih, from Abu Hurayrah.
And Abu Tahir narrated to me, Ibn Wahb informed us, from 'Amr ibn al-Harith, from Abu Yunus, from Abu Hurayrah—all of them said: from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, similar to the hadith of al-Zuhri, from Humayd, from Abu Hurayrah, except that they did not mention: "and miserliness will be cast."

Hammam bin Munabbih reported so many ahadith from Abu Hurairah (RA) and one out of them is this; that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said that Allah thus stated: When My servant draws close to me by the span of a palm, I draw close to him by the space of a cubit, and when he draws close to Me by the space of a cubit, I draw close to him by the space (covered) by two hands, and when he draws close to Me by the space (covered by) two hands, I go in hurry towards him.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Verily, there are ninety-nine names for Allah, i. e. hundred excepting one. He who enumerates them would get into Paradise. And Hammam has made this addition on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) who reported it from Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) that he said: "He is Odd (one) and loves odd number."

Hammam bin Munabbih said: Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated to us ahadith from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and out of these, one is that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: None amongst you should make a request for death, and do not call for it before it comes, for when any one of you dies, he ceases (to do good) deeds and the life of a believer is not prolonged but for goodness.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) through another chain of transmitters.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned them.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying that a person committed sin beyond measure and when he was going to die, he left this will: (When I die), burn my dead body and then cast them (the ashes) to the wind and in the ocean. By Allah, if my Lord takes hold of me, He would torment me as He has not tormented anyone else. They did as he had asked them to do. He (the Lord) said to the earth: Return what you have taken. And he was thus restored to his (original form). He (Allah) said to him: What prompted you to do this? He said: My Lord, it was Thine fear or Thine awe, and Allah pardoned him because of this.

Hibban bin Musa narrated to us, he said: Abdullah bin Mubarak informed us, he said: Yunus bin Yazid Aili informed us, and also Ishaq bin Ibrahim, Muhammad bin Rafi’, and ‘Abd bin Humaid narrated this (same) hadith to us. Ibn Rafi’ said: ‘Abdur Razzaq narrated to us, and the others said: he informed us. They said: Ma’mar informed us, and the latter part of the hadith is from Ma’mar’s narration, which is reported from ‘Abd bin Humaid and Muhammad bin Rafi’. Both Yunus and Ma’mar narrated from Zuhri, who said: Sa’id bin al-Musayyib, ‘Urwah bin Zubair, ‘Alqamah bin Waqqas, and ‘Ubaydullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Utbah bin Mas’ud informed me about the hadith of the wife of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, regarding what the slanderers said about her, and Allah Almighty declared her innocence from what was said about her. All of them narrated to me a part of the hadith of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her; some of them remembered her hadith better than others. I memorized well from each of them what he narrated. The parts of their narrations support and confirm each other. All of them narrated that the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ‘A’ishah as-Siddiqah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: Whenever the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, intended to go on a journey, he would draw lots among his wives, and whichever of them the lot fell upon, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would take her with him (on the journey). ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: He drew lots during one of the battles he fought (referring to the Battle of Banu Mustaliq, also known as the Battle of Muraysi’, which took place in 5 AH), and my name was drawn, so I set out with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. This incident occurred after the command of hijab (veiling) had been revealed. Throughout the journey, I was carried in my howdah (litter) and was made to sit on the camel’s back in it, and I was taken down in it as well, until when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, finished his expedition and returned, and we approached Madinah, he announced departure during the night after resting for a part of the night. When the people announced departure, I got up, walked out of the camp, and after relieving myself, I returned to the howdah. At that time, I put my hand to my neck and found that my necklace made of black and white stones from Dhafar (a city in Yemen) had broken and fallen. I went back to search for my necklace, and my search kept me there for a while. Meanwhile, the people who used to carry my howdah came, lifted it, and placed it on the camel I used to ride. They thought I was inside the howdah. ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: At that time, women were light and thin, not heavy, nor did they have much flesh; they ate only as much as would keep the breath going. When they lifted my howdah and raised it, they did not notice any difference in its weight. I was a young girl at that time. They made the camel stand and set off. I found my necklace only after the army had departed. I came to their resting place, but there was no one there to call or to answer. I headed to the place where I had stayed (in my tent) at night. I was sure that when they did not find me in the howdah, they would return for me. I sat at my place, and sleep overcame me, and I fell asleep. Safwan bin Mu’attal, who belonged to the clan of Banu Dhakwan of Banu Sulaym, had stayed behind the army at night. He set out at the end of the night and came near my place in the morning. He saw the shadow of a sleeping person and came closer and recognized me. He had seen me before the command of hijab was revealed. When he recognized me, he recited «إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ» “Indeed, we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return,” and I woke up. I covered my face with my veil. By Allah, he did not speak a single word to me, nor did I hear anything from him except “Inna lillahi,” until he made his camel kneel. He stood by the front legs of the camel (so it would not move), and I mounted it. He led the camel by its rope, and we set off until we reached the army at midday, when they had stopped due to the intense heat. Then, the one who was to be ruined regarding my situation fell into ruin, and the one who bore the greatest share of the slander was (the chief of the hypocrites) ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul. We arrived in Madinah. As soon as we arrived in Madinah, I fell ill for a month. People continued to talk about the slanderers’ words, but due to my illness, I was unaware of any of it. What troubled me during my illness was that I did not receive the kindness from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that I used to see from him when I was sick. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would come in, greet, and say, “How are you?” That was all that troubled me, but I did not know the real matter. Until, after much weakness, I went out with the mother of Mistah (my relative) to Manasi’, which was our place outside Madinah for relieving ourselves, and we would go out only every other night. This was before we had built private places near our houses for such needs, and our way in this matter was like that of the early Arabs; we disliked building such places near our homes. I and the mother of Mistah, who was the daughter of Abu Ruhm bin al-Muttalib bin ‘Abd Manaf, and her mother was the daughter of Sakhr bin ‘Amir and the maternal aunt of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, and her son was Mistah bin Athathah bin ‘Ubad bin al-Muttalib. I and the daughter of Abu Ruhm (Mistah’s mother) finished our need and returned toward my house. Umm Mistah, may Allah be pleased with her, tripped over her thick woolen cloak and fell, and said, “May Mistah fall and perish!” I said to her, “You have said a terrible thing! You are cursing a man who was present at Badr.” She said, “O naive girl! Have you not heard what he has said?” I said, “What has he said?” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) She then told me the words of the slanderers, and my (first) illness increased with a second, even more severe illness. When I returned home, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered, greeted, and asked, “How are you?” I said, “Do you permit me to go to my parents?” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) I wanted to confirm the news from them. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gave me permission, so I went to my parents and asked my mother, “Mother! What are people saying?” She said, “My daughter, do not trouble yourself over this matter. By Allah, it is rare that a beautiful woman is married to a man who loves her and has co-wives, but the other women talk about her.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) I said, “Glory be to Allah! Are people really saying such things?” I wept all night until morning, my tears did not stop, nor did I sleep even as much as kohl remains in the eye. Then I wept through the morning. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, noticed the delay in the coming of revelation, he called ‘Ali bin Abi Talib and Usamah bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with them both, to consult about separating from his wife. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Usamah bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, indicated what he knew of the innocence of the Prophet’s wife and their mutual love. He said, “O Messenger of Allah! She is your family, and we know nothing but good about her.” As for ‘Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, he said, “Allah has not put you in any difficulty. There are many women besides her. If you ask her maid, she will tell you the truth.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, called Barirah (the freed slave of ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her) and said, “Barirah! Have you ever seen anything that made you suspicious about ‘A’ishah?” Barirah, may Allah be pleased with her, said, “By Him Who sent you with the truth! I have never seen anything about her that I could blame her for, except that she is a young girl who sometimes falls asleep and leaves her family’s dough uncovered, and the goat comes and eats it.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood on the pulpit and sought an excuse regarding ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy bin Salul (for action against him). (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood on the pulpit and said, “O assembly of Muslims! Who will excuse me regarding a man whose harm has reached my family? By Allah, I know nothing but good about my family, and as for the man they mention, I know nothing but good about him as well. Whenever he entered my house, he entered with me.” Then Sa’d bin Mu’adh al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up and said, “O Messenger of Allah! I excuse you regarding him. If he is from the Aws, we will strike his neck, and if he is from our brothers the Khazraj, you will command us, and we will carry out your command.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Then Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up. He was the chief of Khazraj and a righteous man, but zeal for his tribe overtook him in the days of ignorance. He said to Sa’d bin Mu’adh, may Allah be pleased with him, “By Allah’s life! You have lied. You will not kill him, nor are you able to kill him.” At this, Usayd bin Hudayr, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up. He was the cousin of Sa’d bin Mu’adh, may Allah be pleased with him. He said to Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah, may Allah be pleased with him, “You have lied! By Allah’s life, we will surely kill him. You are a hypocrite, arguing on behalf of the hypocrites.” The two tribes of Aws and Khazraj became agitated, and were about to fight each other, while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was standing on the pulpit. He kept calming them down until they became quiet, and he too became quiet. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) I wept all day, my tears did not stop, nor did I sleep even as much as kohl remains in the eye. Then I wept the next night, my tears did not stop, nor did I sleep even as much as kohl remains in the eye. My parents thought that my weeping would burst my liver. They were sitting with me while I was weeping, when a woman from the Ansar asked permission to enter. I allowed her, and she sat down and wept with me. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) While we were in this state, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came in, greeted, and sat down. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Since what was said about me, he had not sat with me (even when he came in). He waited a month, and no revelation came to him about me. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sat down, he recited the testimony of faith, then said: “After that, O ‘A’ishah! Such-and-such has reached me about you. If you are innocent, Allah will soon declare your innocence, but if you have committed a sin, then seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him, for when a servant confesses his sin and repents, Allah accepts his repentance.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, finished his speech, my tears stopped, so much so that I did not feel a single drop in my eyes. I said to my father, “Respond to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on my behalf for what he has said.” He said, “By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” Then I said to my mother, “Respond to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on my behalf.” She said, “By Allah, I do not know what to say to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” So I, though I was a young girl and did not know much of the Qur’an, said (answering myself): “By Allah, I know that you have heard this talk and it has settled in your hearts and you believe it to be true. If I say I am innocent—and Allah knows I am innocent—you will not believe me. And if I admit to something—and Allah knows I am innocent—you will believe me. I find no example for myself and you except the words of the father of Yusuf (Jacob), peace be upon him: «فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ» ‘So patience is most fitting, and Allah is the one sought for help against what you describe.’” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Then I turned away and lay down on my bed. She said: By Allah, I knew I was innocent, and I knew that Allah would declare my innocence, but by Allah, I did not think that Allah would reveal about me a revelation that would be recited (as Qur’an), for I considered myself too insignificant for Allah to speak about me in His own words to be recited. But I hoped that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would see a dream in which Allah would declare my innocence. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) By Allah, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had not left his place, nor had any of the household left, when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed revelation to His Prophet. The state that used to come upon him during revelation came over him, so that even on a cold day, sweat would drip from him like pearls due to the weight of the revelation. She said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was relieved of that state, he was smiling, and the first thing he said was: “Rejoice, O ‘A’ishah! Allah has declared your innocence.” My mother said to me, “Get up and go to him.” I said, “By Allah, I will not get up to him, nor will I thank anyone but Allah. He is the One Who has revealed my innocence.” (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed ten verses: from «إِنَّ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بِالْإِفْكِ عُصْبَةٌ مِنْكُمْ لَا تَحْسَبُوهُ شَرًّا لَكُمْ بَلْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ» ten verses, “Indeed, those who came with the slander are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather, it is good for you,” and from «وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُولُو الْفَضْلِ مِنْكُمْ وَالسَّعَةِ أَنْ يُؤْتُوا أُولِي الْقُرْبَىٰ» to «أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ» “Let not those among you who are of virtue and wealth swear not to give to their relatives…” to “…Do you not love that Allah should forgive you?” Hibban bin Musa said: Abdullah bin Mubarak said: This is the most hopeful verse in the Book of Allah. At this, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, said: By Allah, I love that Allah should forgive me, so he resumed giving to Mistah, may Allah be pleased with him, what he used to give, and said: I will never withhold it from him. (‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said:) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, also asked his wife Zaynab bint Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with her, about my matter, who was the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: “What do you know or what have you seen?” She said: “O Messenger of Allah! I protect my hearing and my sight (from attributing lies to them). By Allah, I know nothing but good.” ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: She was the one among the Prophet’s wives who used to compete with me (in status and closeness), but Allah protected her due to her piety, while her sister Hamnah bint Jahsh, may Allah be pleased with her, began to fight for her sake and perished with those who perished (by committing the sin of slander). Zuhri said: This is the account that has reached us from all of them. In Yunus’s narration, it is mentioned (regarding Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah, may Allah be pleased with him): Zeal for his tribe incited him.

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

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The similitude of a believer is that of (a standing) crop which the air continues to toss from one side to another; in the same way a believer always (receives the strokes) of misfortune. The similitude of a hypocrite is that of a cypress tree which does not move until it is uprooted.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters, but with a slight variation of wording.

Hammam bin Munabbih reported: These are some of the ahidith which Abu Hurairah (RA) reported from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one is this that he is reported to have said: The (members of the) first group that would be admitted to Paradise would have their faces as bright as full moon during the night. They would neither spit nor suffer catarrh, nor void excrement. They would have their utensils and their combs made of gold and silver and the fuel of their braziers would be aloes and their sweat would be musk and every one of them would have two spouses (so beautiful) that the marrow of their shanks would be visible through the flesh. There would be no dissension amongst them and no enmity in their hearts. Their hearts would be like one heart, glorifying Allah morning and evening.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created Adam ؑin His own image with His length of sixty cubits, and as He created him He told him to greet that group, and that was a party of angels sitting there, and listen to the response that they give him, for it would form his greeting and that of his offspring. He then went away and said: Peace be upon you! They (the angels) said: May there be peace upon you and the Mercy of Allah, and they made an addition of" Mercy of Allah". So he who would get into Paradise would get in the form of Adarn, his length being sixty cubits, then the people who followed him continued to diminish in size up to this day.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) through another chain of transmitters with a slight variation of wording.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: The Paradise and the Hell disputed with each other. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Hammam bin Munabbih reported that Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated to them some ahadith of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and one of them is this that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The Paradise and the Hell fell into dispute and the Hell said: 1 have been distinguished for accommodating (the haughty and proud in me), and the Paradise said: What is the matter that the meek and the humble and the downtrodden and simple would find an abode in me? Thereupon Allah said to Paradise: You are a (means) of My Mercy. 1 shall show mercy through you to one whom I will from amongst My servants. And lie said to the Hell: You are a (sign) of My chastisement and I shall chastise through you anyone whom I will from amongst My servants and both of you, would be full. And as regards the Hell it would not be full until Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, places His foot therein, and it would say: Enough, enough, enough, and it would be then full and the one part would draw very close to the other one and Allah would not treat unjustly anyone amongst His creation and He would create another creation for the Paradise (to accommodate it).

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: When a person dies, he is shown his seat morning and evening. If he is one amongst the inmates of Paradise (he is shown his seat) in Paradise and if he is one amongst the denizens of Hell-Fire (he is shown his seat) in the Hell-Fire. Then it is said to him: That is your seat where you would be sent on the Day of Resurrection.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) many ahadith and one of them was this: The last Hour will not come until the two parties (of Muslims) confront each other and there is a large-scale massacre amongst them and the claim of both of them is the same.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The Last Hour would not come until the women of the tribe of Daus would be seen going round Dhi al-Khalasa (for worship) and Dhi al-Khalasa is a place in Tabala, where there was a temple in which the people of the tribe of Daus used to worship the idol.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Zuhri.

Hammam bin Munabbih reported: This is what Abu Hurairah (RA) reported from Allah's messenger (ﷺ) and in this connection he reported so many ahadeeth (and one of them was this): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Kisra would die and then there would be no Kisra after him. Qaisar would die and there would be no Qaisar after him, but you will distribute their treasures in the cause of Allah.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) with a slight variation of wording.

Ibn 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) happened to pass by Ibn Sayyad along with his Companions including 'Umar b. Khattab as he was playing with children near the battlement of Bani Maghala and he was also a child by that time.

They said: Allah's Messenger, which bone is that? Thereupon he said: It is the spinal bone.

A'mash has narrated this hadith on the same authority and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was standing amongst us and he told us four things. He then narrated the hadith like the one reported by Abu Mua'wiya, but did not mention the words" His creation" and said: His veil is the light.

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The Angels were born out of light and the Jinns were born out of the spark of fire and Adam ؑwas born as he has been defined (in the Qur'an) for you (i. e. he is fashioned out of clay).

Hammim bin Munabbih reported: This is what Abu Hurairah (RA) reported to us from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and in this connection he narrated some of the ahadith and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: It was said to people of Israel: Enter this land saying Hitta (Remove Thou from us the burden of our sins), whereupon We would forgive you your sins, but they twisted (this statement) and entered the gate dragging upon their breech and said: The "grain in the ear."
