shalat II

1.375:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once Allah's Apostle fell off a horse
and his leg or shoulder got injured. He swore that he would
not go to his wives for one month and he stayed in a Mashruba
[??] (attic room) having stairs made of date palm trunks. So
his companions came to visit him, and he led them in prayer
sitting, whereas his companions were standing. When he
finished the prayer, he said, "Imam is meant to be followed,
so when he says 'Allahu Akbar,' say 'Allahu Akbar' and when he
bows, bow and when he prostrates, prostrate and if he prays
standing pray, standing. After the 29th day the Prophet came
down (from the attic room) and the people asked him, "O
Allah's Apostle! You swore that you will not go to your wives
for one month." He said, "The month is 29 days."
1.376:
Narrates `Abdullah bin Shaddad: Maimuna said, "Allah's Apostle
was praying while I was in my menses, sitting beside him and
sometimes his clothes would touch me during his prostration."
Maimuna added, "He prayed on a Khumra (a small mat sufficient
just for the face and the hands while prostrating during
prayers).
1.377:
Narrated 'Is−haq:
Anas bin Malik said, "My grandmother Mulaika invited Allah's
Apostle for a meal which she herself had prepared. He ate from
it and said, 'Get up! I will lead you in the prayer.' " Anas
added, "I took my Hasir, washed it with water as it had become
dark because of long use and Allah's Apostle stood on it. The
orphan (Damira or Ruh) and I aligned behind him and the old
lady (Mulaika) stood behind us. Allah's Apostle led us in the
prayer and offered two rak`at and then left."
1.378:
Narrated Maimuna:
Allah's Apostle used to pray on Khumra.
1.379:
Narrated Abu Salama: `Aisha the wife of the Prophet said, "I
used to sleep in front o Allah's Apostle and my legs were
opposite his Qibla and in prostration he pushed my legs and I
withdrew then and when he stood, I stretched them.' `Aisha
added, "In those days the houses were without lights."
1.380:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah Apostle prayed while I was lying like a dead body on his
family bed between him and his Qibla.
1.381:
Narrated `Urwa:
The Prophet prayed while `Aisha was lying between him and his
Qibla on the bed on which they used to sleep.
1.382:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: We used to pray with the Prophet and
some of us used to place the ends of their clothes at the
place of prostration because of scorching heat.
1.383:
Narrated Abu Maslama: Sa`id bin Yazid Al−Azdi: I asked Anas
bin Malik whether the Prophet had ever, prayed with his shoes
on. He replied "Yes."
1.384:
Narrated Ibrahim:
Hammam bin Al−Harith said, "I saw Jarir bin `Abdullah
urinating. Then he performed ablution and passed his (wet)
hands over his Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or
leather), stood up and prayed. He was asked about it. He
replied that he had seen the Prophet doing the same." They
approved of this narration as Jarir was one of those who
embraced Islam very late.
1.385.1:
Narrated Al−Mughira bin Shu`ba: I helped the Prophet in
performing ablution and he passed his wet hands over his
Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather) and prayed.
1.385.2:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Malik: Ibn Buhaina, "When the Prophet
prayed, he used to separate his arms from his body so widely
that the whiteness of his armpits was visible."
1.386:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever prays
like us and faces our Qibla and eats our slaughtered animals
is a Muslim and is under Allah's and His Apostle's protection.
So do not betray Allah by betraying those who are in His
protection."
1.387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle said, "I have been
ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right
to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our
prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then
their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not
interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be
with Allah." Narrated Maimun bin Siyah that he asked Anas bin
Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a
person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right
to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the
prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then
he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as
other Muslims have."
1.388:
Narrated Abu Aiyub Al−Ansari: The Prophet said, "While
defecating, neither face nor turn your back to the Qibla but
face either east or west." Abu Aiyub added. "When we arrived
in Sham we came across some lavatories facing the Qibla;
therefore we turned ourselves while using them and asked for
Allah's forgiveness."
1.389:
Narrated `Amr bin Dinar: I asked Ibn `Umar, "Can a person who
has performed the Tawaf around the Ka`ba for `Umra but has not
performed the (Sa`i) Tawaf of Safa and Marwa, have a sexual
relation with his wife?" Ibn `Umar replied "When the Prophet
reached Mecca he performed the Tawaf around the Ka`ba
(circumambulated it seven times) and offered a two−rak`at
prayer (at the place) behind the station (of Abraham) and then
performed the Tawaf (Sa`i) of Safa and Marwa, and verily in
Allah's Apostle you have a good example." Then we put the same
question to Jabir bin `Abdullah and he too replied, "He should
not go near his wife (for sexual relation) till he has
finished the Tawaf of Safa and Marwa."
1.390:
Narrated Mujahid:
Someone came to Ibn `Umar and said, "Here is Allah's Apostle
entering the Ka`ba." Ibn `Umar said, "I went there but the
Prophet had come out of the Ka`ba and I found Bilal standing
between its two doors. I asked Bilal, 'Did the Prophet pray in
the Ka`ba?' Bilal replied, 'Yes, he prayed two rak`at between
the two pillars which are to your left on entering the Ka`ba.
Then Allah's Apostle came out and offered a two−rak`at prayer
facing the Ka`ba.' "
1.391:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When the Prophet entered the Ka`ba, he
invoked Allah in each and every side of it and did not pray
till he came out of it, and offered a two−rak`at prayer facing
the Ka`ba and said, "This is the Qibla."
1.392:
Narrated Bara' bin `Azib: Allah's Apostle prayed facing
Baitul−Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but he loved to
face the Ka`ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: "Verily, We have
seen the turning of your face to the heaven!" (2:144) So the
Prophet faced the Ka`ba and the fools amongst the people
namely "the Jews" said, "What has turned them from their Qibla
(Baitul−Maqdis) which they formerly observed"" (Allah
revealed): "Say: 'To Allah belongs the East and the West. He
guides whom he will to a straight path'." (2:142) A man prayed
with the Prophet (facing the Ka`ba) and went out. He saw some
of the Ansar praying the `Asr prayer with their faces towards
Baitul−Maqdis, he said, "I bear witness that I prayed with
Allah's Apostle facing the Ka`ba." So all the people turned
their faces towards the Ka`ba.
1.393:
Narrated Jabir:
Allah's Apostle used to pray (optional, non−obligatory prayer)
while riding on his mount (Rahila) wherever it turned, and
whenever he wanted to pray the compulsory prayer he dismounted
and prayed facing the Qibla.
1.394:
Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet prayed (and the sub−narrator
Ibrahim said, "I do not know whether he prayed more or less
than usual"), and when he had finished the prayers he was
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Has there been any change in the
prayers?" He said, "What is it?' The people said, "You have
prayed so much and so much." So the Prophet bent his legs,
faced the Qibla and performed two prostration's (of Sahu) and
finished his prayers with Taslim (by turning his face to right
and left saying: 'As−Salamu `Alaikum−Warahmat−ullah'). When he
turned his face to us he said, "If there had been anything
changed in the prayer, surely I would have informed you but I
am a human being like you and liable to forget like you. So if
I forget remind me and if anyone of you is doubtful about his
prayer, he should follow what he thinks to be correct and
complete his prayer accordingly and finish it and do two
prostrations (of Sahu).
1.395:
Narrated `Umar (bin Al−Khattab): My Lord agreed with me in
three things: −1. I said, "O Allah's Apostle, I wish we took
the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of our
prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you
(people) the station of Abraham as a place of prayer (for some
of your prayers e.g. two rak`at of Tawaf of Ka`ba)". (2.125)
−2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I wish you ordered your wives to
cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk
to them.' So the verse of the veiling of the women was
revealed. −3. Once the wives of the Prophet made a united
front against the Prophet and I said to them, 'It may be if he
(the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will
give him instead of you wives better than you.' So this verse
(the same as I had said) was revealed." (66.5).
1.396:
Narrated Anas:
as above (395).
1.397:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: While the people were offering
the Fajr prayer at Quba' (near Medina), someone came to them
and said: "It has been revealed to Allah's Apostle tonight,
and he has been ordered to pray facing the Ka`ba." So turn
your faces to the Ka`ba. Those people were facing Sham
(Jerusalem) so they turned their faces towards Ka`ba (at
Mecca).
1.398:
Narrated `Abdullah: "Once the Prophet offered five rak`at in
Zuhr prayer. He was asked, "Is there an increase in the
prayer?" The Prophet said, "And what is it?" They said, "You
have prayed five rak`at.' So he bent his legs and performed
two prostrations (of Sahu).
1.399:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet saw some sputum in the
direction of the Qibla (on the wall of the mosque) and he
disliked that and the sign of disgust was apparent from his
face. So he got up and scraped it off with his hand and said,
"Whenever anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking
in private to his Lord or his Lord is between him and his
Qibla. So, none of you should spit in the direction of the
Qibla but one can spit to the left or under his foot." The
Prophet then took the corner of his sheet and spat in it and
folded it and said, "Or you can do like this. "
1.400:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle saw sputum on
the wall of the mosque in the direction of the Qibla and
scraped it off. He faced the people and said, "Whenever any
one of you is praying, he should not spit in front of him
because in the prayer Allah is in front of him."
1.401:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the mother of faithful believers) Allah's Apostle saw some
nasal secretions, expectoration or sputum on the wall of the
mosque in the direction of the Qibla and scraped it off.
1.402:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Abu Sa`id: Allah's Apostle saw some
expectoration on the wall of the mosque; he took gravel and
scraped it off and said, "If anyone of you wanted to spit he
should neither spit in front of him nor on his right but he
could spit either on his left or under his left foot."
1.403:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Abu Sa`id: Allah's Apostle saw some
expectoration on the wall of the mosque; he took gravel and
scraped it off and said, "If anyone of you wanted to spit, he
should neither spit in front of him nor on his right but could
spit either on his left or under his left foot."
1.404:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "None of you should spit in front or on his
right but he could spit either on his left or under his foot."
1.405:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "A faithful
believer while in prayer is speaking in private to his Lord,
so he should neither spit in front of him nor to his right
side but he could spit either on his left or under his foot."
1.406:
Narrated Abu Sa`id: The Prophet saw sputum on (the wall of)
the mosque in the direction of the Qibla and scraped it off
with gravel. Then he forbade Spitting in front or on the
right, but allowed it on one's left or under one's left foot.
1.407:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "Spitting in the
mosque is a sin and its expiation is to bury it."
1.408:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Prophet said, "If anyone of you stands
for prayer, he should not spit in front of him because in
prayer he is speaking in private to Allah and he should not
spit on his right as there is an angel, but he can spit either
on his left or under his left foot and bury it (i.e.
expectoration).
1.409:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet saw expectoration (on the wall of the mosque) in
the direction of the Qibla and scraped it off with his hand.
It seemed that he disliked it and the sign of disgust was
apparent from his face. He said, "If anyone of you stands for
the prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord, (or) his
Lord is between him and his Qibla, therefore he should not
spit towards his Qibla, but he could spit either on his left
or under his foot." Then he took the corner of his sheet and
spat in it, folded it and said, "Or do like this."
1.410:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Do you consider
or see that my face is towards the Qibla? By Allah, neither
your submissiveness nor your bowing is hidden from me, surely
I see you from my back."
1.411:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet led us in a prayer and
then got up on the pulpit and said, "In your prayer and
bowing, I certainly see you from my back as I see you (while
looking at you.)"
1.412:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle ordered for a
horse race; the trained horses were to run from a place called
Al−Hafya' to Thaniyat Al−Wada` and the horses which were not
trained were to run from Al−Thaniya to the Masjid (mosque of)
Bani Zuraiq. The sub narrator added: Ibn `Umar was one of
those who took part in the race.
1.413:
Narrated Anas:
Some goods came to Allah's Apostle from Bahrain. The Prophet
ordered the people to spread them in the mosque −−it was the
biggest amount of goods Allah's Apostle had ever received. He
left for prayer and did not even look at it. After finishing
the prayer, he sat by those goods and gave from those to
everybody he saw. Al−`Abbas came to him and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! give me (something) too, because I gave ransom for
myself and `Aqil". Allah's Apostle told him to take. So he
stuffed his garment with it and tried to carry it away but he
failed to do so. He said, "O Allah's Apostle! Order someone to
help me in lifting it." The Prophet refused. He then said to
the Prophet: Will you please help me to lift it?" Allah's
Apostle refused. Then Al−`Abbas threw some of it and tried to
lift it (but failed). He again said, "O Allah's Apostle Order
someone to help me to lift it." He refused. Al−`Abbas then
said to the Prophet: "Will you please help me to lift it?" He
again refused. Then Al−`Abbas threw some of it, and lifted it
on his shoulders and went away. Allah's Apostle kept on
watching him till he disappeared from his sight and was
astonished at his greediness. Allah's Apostle did not get up
till the last coin was distributed.
1.414:
Narrated Anas:
I found the Prophet in the mosque along with some people. He
said to me, "Did Abu Talha send you?" I said, "Yes". He said,
"For a meal?" I said, "Yes." Then he said to his companions,
"Get up." They set out and I was ahead of them.
1.415:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! If a
man finds another man with his wife, (committing adultery)
should the husband kill him?" Later on I saw them (the man and
his wife) doing Li`an in the mosque (taking oaths, one
accusing, and the other denying adultery).
1.416:
Narrated `Itban bin Malik: The Prophet came to my house and
said, "Where do you like me to pray?" I pointed to a place.
The Prophet then said, "Allahu Akbar", and we aligned behind
him and he offered a two−rak`at prayer.
1.417:
Narrated `Itban bin Malik: who was one of the companions of
Allah's Apostle and one of the Ansar's who took part in the
battle of Badr: I came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's
Apostle I have weak eyesight and I lead my people in prayers.
When it rains the water flows in the valley between me and my
people so I cannot go to their mosque to lead them in prayer.
O Allah's Apostle! I wish you would come to my house and pray
in it so that I could take that place as a Musalla. Allah's
Apostle said. "Allah willing, I will do so." Next day after
the sun rose high, Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr came and
Allah's Apostle asked for permission to enter. I gave him
permission and he did not sit on entering the house but said
to me, "Where do you like me to pray?" I pointed to a place in
my house. So Allah's Apostle stood there and said, 'Allahu
Akbar', and we all got up and aligned behind him and offered a
two−rak`at prayer and ended it with Taslim. We requested him
to stay for a meal called "Khazira" which we had prepared for
him. Many members of our family gathered in the house and one
of them said, "Where is Malik bin Al−Dukhaishin or Ibn
Al−Dukhshun?" One of them replied, "He is a hypocrite and does
not love Allah and His Apostle." Hearing that, Allah's Apostle
said, "Do not say so. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah' for Allah's sake only?"
He said, "Allah and His Apostle know better. We have seen him
helping and advising hypocrites." Allah's Apostle said, "Allah
has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who say, 'None has the
right to be worshipped but Allah' for Allah's sake only."
1.418:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to start every thing from the right (for good
things) whenever it was possible in all his affairs; for
example: in washing, combing or wearing shoes.
1.419:
Narrated `Aisha:
Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned about a church they had seen
in Ethiopia in which there were pictures. They told the
Prophet about it, on which he said, "If any religious man dies
amongst those people they would build a place of worship at
his grave and make these pictures in it. They will be the
worst creature in the sight of Allah on the Day of
Resurrection."
1.420:
Narrated Anas:
When the Prophet arrived Medina he dismounted at
`Awali−i−Medina amongst a tribe called Banu `Amr bin `Auf. He
stayed there For fourteen nights. Then he sent for Bani
An−Najjar and they came armed with their swords. As if I am
looking (just now) as the Prophet was sitting over his Rahila
(Mount) with Abu Bakr riding behind him and all Banu An−Najjar
around him till he dismounted at the courtyard of Abu Aiyub's
house. The Prophet loved to pray wherever the time for the
prayer was due even at sheep−folds. Later on he ordered that a
mosque should be built and sent for some people of
Banu−An−Najjar and said, "O Banu An−Najjar! Suggest to me the
price of this (walled) piece of land of yours." They replied,
"No! By Allah! We do not demand its price except from Allah."
Anas added: There were graves of pagans in it and some of it
was unleveled and there were some date−palm trees in it. The
Prophet ordered that the graves of the pagans be dug out and
the unleveled land be level led and the date−palm trees be cut
down . (So all that was done). They aligned these cut
date−palm trees towards the Qibla of the mosque (as a wall)
and they also built two stone side−walls (of the mosque). His
companions brought the stones while reciting some poetic
verses. The Prophet was with them and he kept on saying,
"There is no goodness except that of the Hereafter, O Allah!
So please forgive the Ansars and the emigrants. "
1.421:
Narrated Abu Al−Taiyah [??] : Anas said, "The Prophet prayed
in the sheep fold." Later on I heard him saying, "He prayed in
the sheep folds before the construction of the, mosque."
1.422:
Narrated Nafi`:
"I saw Ibn `Umar praying while taking his camel as a Sutra in
front of him and he said, "I saw the Prophet doing the same."
1.423:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: The sun eclipsed and Allah's
Apostle offered the eclipse prayer and said, "I have been
shown the Hellfire (now) and I never saw a worse and horrible
sight than the sight I have seen today."
1.424:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet had said, "Offer some of your
prayers (Nawafil) at home, and do not take your houses as
graves."
1.425:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "Do not
enter (the places) of these people where Allah's punishment
had fallen unless you do so weeping. If you do not weep, do
not enter (the places of these people) because Allah's curse
and punishment which fell upon them may fall upon you."
1.426:
Narrated `Aisha:
Um Salama told Allah's Apostle about a church which she had
seen in Ethiopia and which was called Mariya. She told him
about the pictures which she had seen in it. Allah's Apostle
said, "If any righteous pious man dies amongst them, they
would build a place of worship at his grave and make these
pictures in it; they are the worst creatures in the sight of
Allah."
1.427:
Narrated `Aisha and `Abdullah bin `Abbas: When the last moment
of the life of Allah's Apostle came he started putting his
'Khamisa' on his face and when he felt hot and short of breath
he took it off his face and said, "May Allah curse the Jews
and Christians for they built the places of worship at the
graves of their Prophets." The Prophet was warning (Muslims)
of what those had done.
1.428:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "May Allah's curse
be on the Jews for they built the places of worship at the
graves of their Prophets."
1.429:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said, "I have
been given five things which were not given to any amongst the
Prophets before me. These are: −1. Allah made me victorious by
awe (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one
month's journey. −2. The earth has been made for me (and for
my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform
Tayammum. Therefore my followers can pray wherever the time of
a prayer is due. −3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful)
for me (and was not made so for anyone else). −4. Every
Prophet used to be sent to his nation exclusively but I have
been sent to all mankind. −5. I have been given the right of
intercession (on the Day of Resurrection.)
1.430:
Narrated `Aisha:
There was a black slave girl belonging to an 'Arab tribe and
they manumitted her but she remained with them. The slave girl
said, "Once one of their girls (of that tribe) came out
wearing a red leather scarf decorated with precious stones. It
fell from her or she placed it somewhere. A kite passed by
that place, saw it Lying there and mistaking it for a piece of
meat, flew away with it. Those people searched for it but they
did not find it. So they accused me of stealing it and started
searching me and even searched my private parts." The slave
girl further said, "By Allah! while I was standing (in that
state) with those people, the same kite passed by them and
dropped the red scarf and it fell amongst them. I told them,
'This is what you accused me of and I was innocent and now
this is it.' " `Aisha added: That slave girl came to Allah's
Apostle and embraced Islam. She had a tent or a small room
with a low roof in the mosque. Whenever she called on me, she
had a talk with me and whenever she sat with me, she would
recite the following: "The day of the scarf (band) was one of
the wonders of our Lord, verily He rescued me from the
disbelievers' town. `Aisha added: "Once I asked her, 'What is
the matter with you? Whenever you sit with me, you always
recite these poetic verses.' On that she told me the whole
story. "
1.431:
Narrated Naf`a [??] : `Abdullah bin `Umar said: I used to
sleep in the mosque of the Prophet while I was young and
unmarried.
1.432:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: Allah's Apostle went to Fatima's house
but did not find `Ali there. So he asked, "Where is your
cousin?" She replied, "There was something between us and he
got angry with me and went out. He did not sleep (midday nap)
in the house." Allah's Apostle asked a person to look for him.
That person came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! He (Ali) is
sleeping in the mosque." Allah's Apostle went there and `Ali
was lying. His upper body cover had fallen down to one side of
his body and he was covered with dust. Allah's Apostle started
cleaning the dust from him saying: "Get up! O Aba Turab. Get
up! O Aba Turab (literally means: O father of dust).
1.433:
Narrated Abu Huraira: I saw seventy of As−Suffa men and none
of them had a Rida' (a garment covering the upper part of the
body). They had either Izars (only) or sheets which they tied
round their necks. Some of these sheets reached the middle of
their legs and some reached their heels and they used to
gather them with their hands lest their private parts should
become naked.
1.434:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: I went to the Prophet in the
mosque (the sub−narrator Mas`ar thought that Jabir had said,
"In the forenoon.") He ordered me to pray two rak`at. He owed
me some money and he repaid it to me and gave more than what
was due to me.
1.435:
Narrated Abu Qatada Al−Aslami: Allah's Apostle said, "If
anyone of you enters a mosque, he should pray two rak`at
before sitting."
1.436:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The angels keep
on asking Allah's forgiveness for anyone of you, as long as he
is at his Musalla (praying place) and he does not pass wind
(Hadath). They say, 'O Allah! Forgive him, O Allah! be
Merciful to him."
1.437:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: In the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle the mosque was built of adobes, its roof of the leaves
of date−palms and its pillars of the stems of date−palms. Abu
Bakr did not alter it. `Umar expanded it on the same pattern
as it was in the lifetime of Allah's Apostle by using adobes,
leaves of date−palms and changing the pillars into wooden
ones. `Uthman changed it by expanding it to a great extent and
built its walls with engraved stones and lime and made its
pillars of engraved stones and its roof of teak wood.
1.438:
Narrated `Ikrima:
Ibn `Abbas said to me and to his son `Ali, "Go to Abu Sa`id
and listen to what he narrates." So we went and found him in a
garden looking after it. He picked up his Rida', wore it and
sat down and started narrating till the topic of the
construction of the mosque reached. He said, "We were carrying
one adobe at a time while `Ammar was carrying two. The Prophet
saw him and started removing the dust from his body and said,
"May Allah be Merciful to `Ammar. He will be inviting them
(i.e. his murderers, the rebellious group) to Paradise and
they will invite him to Hell−fire." `Ammar said, "I seek
refuge with Allah from affliction."
1.439:
Narrated Sahl:
Allah's Apostle sent someone to a woman telling her to "Order
her slave, carpenter, to prepare a wooden pulpit for him to
sit on."

A woman said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I get something
constructed for you to sit on as I have a slave who is a
carpenter?" He replied, "Yes, if you like." So she had that
pulpit constructed.
1.441:
Narrated 'Ubaidullah Al−Khaulani: I heard `Uthman bin `Affan
saying, when people argued too much about his intention to
reconstruct the mosque of Allah's Apostle, "You have talked

similar place in Paradise.' "

`Aisha said, "I saw the Prophet and the Ethiopians were
playing with their spears.")
1.446:
Narrated `Aisha:
Barira came to seek my help regarding her manumission. I told
herself you like I would pay your price to your masters but
your Wala' (allegiance) would be for me." Her masters said,
"If you like, you can pay what remains (of the price of her
manumission), (Sufyan the sub−narrator once said), or if you
like you can manumit her, but her (inheritance) Al−Wala would
be for us. "When Allah's Apostle came, I spoke to him about
it. He said, "Buy her and manumit her. No doubt Al−Wala' is
for the manumitted." Then Allah's Apostle stood on the pulpit
(or Allah's Apostle ascended the pulpit as Sufyan once said),
and said, "What about some people who impose conditions which
are not present in Allah's Book (Laws)? Whoever imposes
conditions which are not in Allah's Book (Laws), his
conditions will be invalid even if he imposed them a hundred
times."
1.447:
Narrated Ka`b:
In the mosque l asked Ibn Abi Hadrad to pay the debts which he
owed to me and our voices grew louder. Allah's Apostle heard
that while he was in his house. So he came to us raising the
curtain of his room and said, "O Ka`b!" I replied, "Labaik, O
Allah's Apostle!" He said, "O Ka`b! reduce your debt to one
half," gesturing with his hand. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I
have done so." Then Allah's Apostle said (to Ibn Abi Hadrad),
"Get up and pay the debt to him."
1.448:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A black man or a black woman used to
sweep the mosque and he or she died. The Prophet asked about

So he went to her (his) grave and offered her (his) funeral
prayer."
1.449:

Narrated Abu Rafi`: Abu Huraira said, "A man or a woman used
to clean the mosque." (A sub−narrator said, 'Most probably a

Narrated Abu Huraira: "The Prophet said, "Last night a big
demon (`ifreet) from the Jinns came to me and wanted to
interrupt (or confuse [??] ) my prayer, but Allah enabled me
to overpower him. I wanted to fasten him to one of the pillars
of the mosque so that all of you could See him in the morning
but I remembered the statement of my brother Solomon (as
stated in Qur'an): My Lord! Forgive me and bestow on me a
kingdom such as shall not belong to anybody after me (38.35)."
The sub narrator Rauh said, "He (the demon) was dismissed
humiliated."

and they brought a man called Thumama bin Uthal from Bani
Hanifa. They fastened him to one of the pillars of the mosque.
The Prophet came and ordered them to release him. He went to a
(garden of) date−palms near the mosque, took a bath and
entered the, mosque again and said, "None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah an Muhammad is His Apostle (i.e. he
embraced Islam).
1.452:
Narrated `Aisha:
On the day of Al−Khandaq (battle of the Trench' the medial arm
vein of Sa`d bin Mu`ad [??] was injured and the Prophet
pitched a tent in the mosque to look after him. There was
another tent for Banu Ghaffar in the mosque and the blood
started flowing from Sa`d's tent to the tent of Bani Ghaffar.
They shouted, "O occupants of the tent! What is coming from
you to us?" They found that Sa`d' wound was bleeding profusely
and Sa`d died in his tent.

mastur."
1.454:

departed from him on a dark night and were led by two lights
like lamps (going in front of them from Allah as a miracle)
lighting the way in front of them, and when they parted, each
of them was accompanied by one of these lights till he reached
their (respective) houses.
1.455:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: The Prophet delivered a sermon
and said, "Allah gave a choice to one of (His) slaves either
to choose this world or what is with Him in the Hereafter. He
chose the latter." Abu Bakr wept. I said to myself, "Why is
this Sheikh weeping, if Allah gave choice to one (of His)
slaves either to choose this world or what is with Him in the
Here after and he chose the latter?" And that slave was
Allah's Apostle himself. Abu Bakr knew more than us. The
Prophet said, "O Abu Bakr! Don't weep. The Prophet added: Abu−
Bakr has favored me much with his property and company. If I
were to take a Khalil from mankind I would certainly have
taken Abu Bakr but the Islamic brotherhood and friendship is
sufficient. Close all the gates in the mosque except that of
Abu Bakr.
1.456:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: "Allah's Apostle in his fatal illness
came out with a piece of cloth tied round his head and sat on
the pulpit. After thanking and praising Allah he said, "There
is no one who had done more favor to me with life and property
than Abu Bakr bin Abi Quhafa. If I were to take a Khalil, I
would certainly have taken Abu− Bakr but the Islamic
brotherhood is superior. Close all the small doors in this
mosque except that of Abu Bakr."
