water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another
portion of it was hard and held the rain water and Allah benefited the
people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals
drink from it and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a
portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth
vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of
the person who comprehends Allah's religion and gets benefit (from the
knowledge) which Allah has revealed through me (the Prophets and learns and
then teaches others. The last example is that of a person who does not care
for it and does not take Allah's guidance revealed through me (He is like
that barren land.)"

trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Masiah-ad-Dajjal or nearly like it (the sub narrator is

clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted his teachings and followed
him. And he is Muhammad.' And he will repeat it thrice. Then the angels

(religious deeds) and that we may also inform our people whom we have left
behind (at home) and that we may enter Paradise

forbade them from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah Alone,
the Honorable the Majestic and said to them, "Do you know what is
meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and His
Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet said, "(That means to
testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that
Muhammad is His Apostle, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay Zakat, to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan,
(and) to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to

the Last Day (i.e. a Muslim) should neither shed blood in it nor cut down
its trees. If anybody argues that fighting is allowed in Mecca as Allah's Apostle did fight (in Mecca), tell him that Allah gave permission to His Apostle,
but He did not give it to you. The Prophet added: Allah allowed me only for
a few hours on that day (of the conquest) and today (now) its sanctity is
the same (valid) as it was before. So it is incumbent upon those who are
present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent." Abu-
Shuraih was asked, "What did 'Amr reply?" He said 'Amr
said, "O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you
(in this respect). Mecca does not give protection to one who disobeys (Allah)
or runs after committing murder, or theft (and takes refuge in Mecca).

Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said. No doubt your blood,
property, the sub-narrator Muhammad thought that Abu Bakra
had also mentioned and your honor (chastity), are sacred to one another as
is the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours. It is
incumbent on those who are present to inform those who are absent."
(Muhammad the Subnarrator used to say,
"Allah's Apostle told the truth.") The Prophet repeated twice:
"No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's message to you.

Narrated Ash-Sha'bi:
Abu Juhaifa said,
"I asked Ali, 'Have you got any book (which has been revealed to the
Prophet apart from the Qur'an)?' 'Ali replied,
'No, except Allah's Book or the power of understanding which has been
bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or what is (written) in this sheet of
paper (with me).' Abu Juhaifa said, "I
asked, 'What is (written) in this sheet of paper?' Ali replied, it deals
with The Diyya (compensation (blood money) paid
by the killer to the relatives of the victim), the ransom for the releasing
of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and the law that no Muslim
should be killed in Qisas (equality in
punishment) for the killing of (a disbeliever).

Narrated Abu Huraira:
In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the
tribe of Khuza'a killed a man from the tribe of Bani Laith in revenge for a
killed person, belonging to them. They informed the Prophet about it. So he
rode his Rahila (she-camel for riding) and
addressed the people saying, "Allah held back the killing from Mecca. (The sub-narrator is in doubt whether the Prophet
said "elephant or killing," as the Arabic words standing for
these words have great similarity in shape), but He (Allah) let His Apostle
and the believers over power the infidels of Mecca. Beware! (Mecca is a sanctuary) Verily! Fighting in Mecca was not permitted for anyone before me nor will it be
permitted for anyone after me. It (war) in it was made legal for me for few
hours or so on that day. No doubt it is at this moment a sanctuary, it is
not allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to uproot its trees or to pick
up its Luqatt (fallen things) except by a person
who will look for its owner (announce it publicly). And if somebody is
killed, then his closest relative has the right to choose one of the two--
the blood money (Diyya) or retaliation having the
killer killed. In the meantime a man from Yemen came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Get that
written for me." The Prophet ordered his companions to write that for
him. Then a man from Quraish said, "Except
Al-Iqhkhir (a type of grass that has good smell)
O Allah's Apostle, as we use it in our houses and graves." The Prophet
said, "Except Al-Idhkhiri.e. Al-Idhkhir is allowed to be plucked."

Narrated 'Ubaidullah
bin 'Abdullah:
Ibn 'Abbas said, "When the
ailment of the Prophet became worse, he said, 'Bring for me (writing) paper
and I will write for you a statement after which you will not go astray.'
But 'Umar said, 'The Prophet is seriously ill,
and we have got Allah's Book with us and that is sufficient for us.' But
the companions of the Prophet differed about this and there was a hue and
cry. On that the Prophet said to them, 'Go away (and leave me alone). It is
not right that you should quarrel in front of me." Ibn
'Abbas came out saying, "It was most
unfortunate (a great disaster) that Allah's Apostle was prevented from
writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise. (Note:
It is apparent from this Hadith that Ibn 'Abbes had witnessed the event and came out saying
this statement. The truth is not so, for Ibn 'Abbas used to say this statement on narrating the Hadith and he had not witnessed the event personally.

while the Prophet was there with her during her night turn. The Prophet
offered the 'Isha' prayer (in the mosque),
returned home and after having prayed four Rakat,
he slept. Later on he got up at night and then asked whether the boy (or he
used a similar word) had slept? Then he got up for the prayer and I stood
up by his left side but he made me stand to his right and offered five Rakat followed by two more Rakat.
Then he slept and I heard him snoring and then (after a while) he left for
the (Fajr) prayer.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet's narrations). Had it not been for
two verses in the Qur'an, I would not have
narrated a single Hadith, and the verses are:
"Verily those who conceal the clear sign
and the guidance which We have sent down . . . (up to) Most Merciful."
(2:159-160). And no doubt our Muhajir (emigrant)
brothers used to be busy in the market with their business (bargains) and
our Ansari brothers used to be busy with their
property (agriculture). But I (Abu Huraira) used
to stick to Allah's Apostle contented with what will fill my stomach and I
used to attend that which they used not to attend and I used to memorize
that which they used not to memorize.

filling them with something (and emptied them in my Rida')
and then said, "Take and wrap this sheet over your body." I did
it and after that I never forgot any thing.

Moses." Ibn 'Abbas
remarked that the enemy of Allah (Nauf) was a
liar.
Volume
1, Book 3, Number 124:
Narrated Ubai bin Ka'b:
The Prophet said, "Once the Prophet Moses
stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked,
"Who is the most learned man amongst the people. He said, "I am
the most learned." Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute
knowledge to Him (Allah). So Allah inspired to him "At the junction of
the two seas there is a slave amongst my slaves who is more learned than
you." Moses said, "O my Lord! How can I meet him?" Allah
said: Take a fish in a large basket (and proceed) and you will find him at
the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set out along with his
(servant) boy, Yusha' bin Nuin
and carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock, where they
laid their heads (i.e. lay down) and slept. The fish came out of the basket
and it took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing thing
for both Moses and his (servant) boy. They proceeded for the rest of that
night and the following day. When the day broke, Moses said to his
(servant) boy: "Bring us our early meal. No doubt, we have suffered
much fatigue in this journey." Moses did not get tired till he passed
the place about which he was told. There the (servant) boy told Moses,
"Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot
the fish." Moses remarked, "That is what we have been seeking. So
they went back retracing their foot-steps, till they reached the rock.
There they saw a man covered with a garment (or covering himself with his
own garment). Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir
replied saying, "How do people greet each other in your land?"
Moses said, "I am Moses." He asked, "The Moses of Bani Israel?" Moses replied in the affirmative and
added, "May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which
you have been taught." Al-Khadir replied,
"Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with me, O Moses! I
have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do
not know, while you have some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I
do not know." Moses said, "Allah willing, you will find me
patient and I will not disobey you in aught. So both of them set out
walking along the sea-shore, as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a
boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boat to take them on
board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and took
them on board without fare. Then a sparrow came and stood on the edge of
the boat and dipped its beak once or twice in the sea. Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My knowledge and your
knowledge have not decreased Allah's knowledge except as much as this
sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak." Al-Khadir went to one of the planks of the boat and
plucked it out. Moses said, "These people gave us a free lift but you
have broken their boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people." Al-Khadir replied, "Didn't I tell you that you will
not be able to remain patient with me." Moses said, "Call me not
to account for what I forgot." The first (excuse) of Moses was that he
had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and found a boy playing with
other boys. Al-Khadir took hold of the boy's head
from the top and plucked it out with his hands (i.e. killed him). Moses
said, "Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed none." Al-Kha,dir replied, "Did I not
tell you that you cannot remain patient with me?" Then they both
proceeded till when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for
food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found there a wall on
the point of collapsing. Al-Khadir repaired it
with his own hands. Moses said, "If you had wished, surely you could
have taken wages for it." Al-Khadir replied,
"This is the parting between you and me." The Prophet added,
"May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more
patient to learn more about his story with Al-Khadir.

Narrated Abu Musa:
A man came to the Prophet and asked, "O
Allah's Apostle! What kind of fighting is in Allah's cause? (I ask this),
for some of us fight because of being enraged and angry and some for the
sake of his pride and haughtiness." The Prophet raised his head (as
the questioner was standing) and said, "He who fights so that Allah's
Word (Islam) should be superior, then he fights in Allah's cause."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amar:
I saw the Prophet near the Jamra
and the people were asking him questions (about religious problems). A man
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! I have slaughtered the Hadi
(animal) before doing the Rami." The Prophet
replied, "Do the Rami (now) and there is no
harm." Another person asked, "O Allah's Apostle! I got my head
shaved before slaughtering the animal." The Prophet replied, "Do
the slaughtering (now) and there is no harm." So on that day, when the
Prophet was asked about anything as regards the ceremonies of Hajj
performed before or after its due time his reply was, "Do it (now) and
there is no harm."

Narrated 'Abdullah:
While I was going with the Prophet through the
ruins of Medina and he was reclining on a date-palm leaf stalk, some
Jews passed by. Some of them said to the others: Ask him (the Prophet)
about the spirit. Some of them said that they should not ask him that
question as he might give a reply which would displease them. But some of
them insisted on asking, and so one of them stood up and asked, "O Aba-l-Qasim
! What is the spirit?" The Prophet remained quiet. I thought he
was being inspired Divinely. So I stayed till that state of the Prophet
(while being inspired) was over. The Prophet then said, "And they ask
you (O Muhammad) concerning the spirit --Say: The spirit -- its knowledge
is with my Lord. And of knowledge you (mankind) have been given only a
little)." (17.85)

entrance and the other for exit." Later on Ibn

Prophet said, "O Mu'adh!" Mu'adh said thrice, "Labbaik
and Sa'daik, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's
Apostle said, "There is none who testifies sincerely that none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is his Apostle, except that Allah, will save him from the Hell-fire." Mu'adh said, "O Allah's Apostle
! Should I not inform the people about it so that they may have glad
tidings?" He replied, "When the people hear about it, they will
solely depend on it." Then Mu'adh narrated
the above-mentioned Hadith just before his death,
being afraid of committing sin (by not telling the knowledge).

notices a discharge." Um Salama, then
covered her face and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Does a woman get a
discharge?" He replied, "Yes, let your right hand be in dust (An

(to answer). The others asked, "O Allah's Apostle! inform
