take his accounts (as he knows his reality) and none can sanctify
anybody before Allah (and that only if he knows well about that
person.)".

While the Prophet was distributing (war booty etc.) one day, Dhul
Khawaisira, a man from the tribe of Bani Tamim, said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Act justly." The Prophets said, "Woe to you! Who else would
act justly if I did not act justly?" 'Umar said (to the Prophet ),
"Allow me to chop his neck off." The Prophet said, "No, for he has
companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of (you
compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider his prayer
inferior to theirs, and similarly his fasting inferior to theirs,
but they will desert Islam (go out of religion) as an arrow goes
through the victim's body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is
examined nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Nady is examined,
nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is examined,
nothing will be seen thereon, for the arrow has gone out too fast
even for the excretions and blood to smear over it. Such people will
come out at the time of difference among the (Muslim) people and the
sign by which they will be recognized, will be a man whose one of
the two hands will look like the breast of a woman or a lump of
flesh moving loosely." Abu Said added, "I testify that I heard that
from the Prophet and also testify that I was with 'Ali when 'Ali
fought against those people. The man described by the Prophet was
searched for among the killed, and was found, and he was exactly as
the Prophet had described him." (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)

fasting in Ramadan." The Prophet said, "Manumit a slave." The man
said, " I cannot afford that. " The Prophet said; "Then fast for two
successive months." The man said, " I have no power to do so." The
Prophet said, "Then feed sixty poor persons." The man said, "I have
nothing (to feed sixty persons). Later a basket full of dates were
brought to the Prophet and he said (to the man), "Take it and give
it in charity." The man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I give it to
people other than my family? By Him in Whose Hand my life is, there
is nobody poorer than me in the whole city of Medina." The Prophet
smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and said, "Take it."
Az-Zuhri said (that the Prophet said). "Wailaka."

their Zakat?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Go on doing like
this from beyond the seas, for Allah will not let your deeds go in
vain."

one another."

prepared anything for it, except that I love Allah and H is
Apostle." The Prophet said, "You will be with those whom you love."
We (the companions of the Prophet ) said, "And will we too be so?
The Prophet said, "Yes." So we became very glad on that day. In the
meantime, a slave of Al-Mughira passed by, and he was of the same
age as I was. The Prophet said. "If this (slave) should live long,
he will not reach the geriatric old age, but the Hour will be
established."

nearing his puberty at that time, and he did not notice the arrival
of the Prophet till Allah's Apostle stroked him on the back with his
hand and said, "Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?" Ibn
Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the Apostle
of the unlettered ones (illiterates)". Then Ibn Saiyad said to the
Prophets . "Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet
denied that, saying, "I believe in Allah and all His Apostles," and
then said to Ibn Saiyad, "What do you see?" Ibn Saiyad said, "True
people and liars visit me." The Prophet said, "You have been
confused as to this matter." Allah's Apostle added, "I have kept
something for you (in my mind)." Ibn Saiyad said, "Ad-Dukh." The
Prophet said, "Ikhsa (you should be ashamed) for you can not cross
your limits." 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop off h
is neck." Allah's Apostle said (to Umar). "Should this person be him
(i.e. Ad-Dajjal) then you cannot over-power him; and should he be
someone else, then it will be no use your killing him." 'Abdullah
bin 'Umar added: Later on Allah's Apostle and Ubai bin Ka'b
Al-Ansari (once again) went to the garden in which Ibn Saiyad was
present.
When Allah's Apostle entered the garden, he started hiding behind
the trunks of the date-palms intending to hear something from Ibn
Saiyad before the latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was Lying on his
bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his mumur were heard.
Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the Prophet and said, "O Saf (the nickname
of Ibn Saiyad)! Here is Muhammad!" Ibn Saiyad stopped his murmuring.
The Prophet said, "If his mother had kept quiet, then I would have
learnt more about him." 'Abdullah added: Allah's Apostle stood up
before the people (delivering a sermon), and after praising and
glorifying Allah as He deserved, he mentioned the Ad-Dajjal saying,
"I warn you against him, and there has been no prophet but warned
his followers against him. Noah warned his followers against him but
I am telling you about him, something which no prophet has told his
people of, and that is: Know that he is blind in one eye where as
Allah is not so."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
When the delegation of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet, he said,

are a group from the tribe of Ar-Rabi'a, and between you and us
there is the tribe of Mudar and we cannot come to you except in the
sacred months. So please order us to do something good (religious
deeds) so that we may enter Paradise by doing that, and also that we
may order our people who are behind us (whom we have left behind at
home) to follow it." He said, "Four and four:" offer prayers
perfectly , pay the Zakat, (obligatory charity), fast the month of

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 226
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
That Allah's Apostle rode over a donkey covered with a Fadakiya
(velvet sheet) and Usama was riding behind him. He was visiting Sa'd
bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith
bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened before the battle of Badr.
They proceeded till they passed by a gathering in which 'Abdullah
bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before 'Abdullah bin
Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims, pagan
idolators and Jews, and among the Muslims there was 'Abdullah bin
Rawaha.
When a cloud of dust raised by (the movement of ) the animal covered
that gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment
and said, "Do not cover us with dust." Allah's Apostle greeted them,
stopped, dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace
Islam) and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that 'Abdullah bin
Ubai bin Salul said to him, "O man! There is nothing better than
what you say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in
our gatherings, but if somebody comes to you, you can preach to
him." On that 'Abdullah bin Rawaha said "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!
Call on us in our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the
pagans and the Jews started abusing one another till they were about
to fight with one another. Allah's Apostle kept on quietening them
till all of them became quiet, and then Allah's Apostle rode his
animal and proceeded till he entered upon Sa'd bin 'Ubada. Allah's
Apostle said, "O Sa'd! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?"
(meaning 'Abdullah bin Unbar). "He said so-and-so." Sa'd bin Ubada
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Let my father be sacrificed for you !
Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to you the Book,
Allah sent the Truth which was revealed to you at the time when the
people of this town had decided to crown him ('Abdullah bin Ubai) as
their ruler.
So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he
was choked by that, and that caused him to behave in such an
impolite manner which you had noticed." So Allah's Apostle excused
him. (It was the custom of) Allah's Apostle and his companions to
excuse the pagans and the people of the scripture (Christians and
Jews) as Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient when
annoyed (by them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear much that
will grieve you from those who received the Scripture before
you.....and from the pagans (3.186)
He also said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they
could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed. ....
(2.109) So Allah's Apostle used to apply what Allah had ordered him
by excusing them till he was allowed to fight against them. When
Allah's Apostle had fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed
whomever He killed among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles
of Quraish, and Allah's Apostle and his companions had returned with
victory and booty, bringing with them some of the chiefs of the
infidels and the nobles of the Quraish as captives. 'Abdullah bin
Ubai bin Salul and the pagan idolators who were with him, said,
"This matter (Islam) has now brought out its face (triumphed), so
give Allah's Apostle the pledge of allegiance (for embracing
Islam.)". Then they became Muslims.

part of the Fire."

hen, and then they add to it one-hundred lies."

Paradise. "I went, and behold! It was Abu Bakr. So I opened the gate
for him and informed him of the glad tidings of entering Paradise.
Then another man came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet
said, "Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings of
entering Paradise." Behold! It was 'Umar. So I opened the gate for
him and gave him the glad tidings of entering Paradise. Then another
man came and asked permission to enter.
The Prophet was sitting in a leaning posture, so he sat up and said,
"Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings of entering
Paradise with a calamity which will befall him or which will take
place." I went, and behold ! It was Uthman. So I opened the gate for
him and gave him the glad tidings of entering Paradise and also
informed him of what the Prophet had said (about a calamity).
'Uthman said, "Allah Alone Whose Help I seek (against that calamity).

depend upon it?" He said: carry on doing (good) deeds, for everybody
will find easy such deeds as will lead him to his destined place. He
then recited: "As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty
to Allah.." (92.5)

(One night) the Prophet woke up and said, "Subhan Allah ! How many
treasures have been (disclosed) sent down! And how many afflictions
have been descended! Who will go and wake the sleeping
lady-occupants up of these dwellings (for praying)?" (He meant by
this his wives.) The Prophet added, "A well-dressed soul (person) in
this world may be naked in the "Hereafter." 'Umar said, "I asked the
Prophet, 'Have you divorced your wives?' He said, 'No.' I said,
'Allahu Akbar.' "

Narrated Safiya bint Huyai:
The wife of the Prophet that she went to Allah's Apostle while he
was in Itikaf (staying in the mosque) during the last ten nights of
the month of Ramadan. She spoke to him for an hour (a while) at
night and then she got up to return home. The Prophet got up to
accompany her, and when they reached the gate of the mosque opposite
the dwelling place of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet, two Ansari
men passed by, and greeting Allah's Apostle , they quickly went
ahead. Allah's Apostle said to them, "Do not be in a hurry She is
Safiya, the daughter of Huyai." They said, "Subhan Allah! O Allah's
Apostle (how dare we suspect you)." That was a great thing for both
of them. The Prophet then said, "Satan runs in the body of Adam's
son (i.e. man) as his blood circulates in it, and I was afraid that
he (Satan) might insert an evil thought in your hearts."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if
someone sneezes and then praises Allah, then it is obligatory on
every Muslim who heard him, to say: May Allah be merciful to you
(Yar-hamuka-l-lah). But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one
must try one's best to stop it, if one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan
will laugh at him."

former should say, 'Yahdikumul-lah wa Yuslih balakum' (May Allah
give you guidance and improve your condition)."
