Narrated 'Abdullah:
When the Verse: 'It is those who believe and confuse not their
belief with wrong (i.e., worshipping others besides Allah): (6.82)
was revealed, it became very hard on the companions of the Prophet
and they said, "Who among us has not confused his belief with wrong
(oppression)?" On that, Allah's Apostle said, "This is not meant (by
the Verse). Don't you listen to Luqman's statement: 'Verily! Joining
others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed.' (31.13)

Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet. said, "The biggest of the great sins are: To join
others in worship with Allah, to be undutiful to one's parents, and
to give a false witness." He repeated it thrice, or said, "....a
false statement," and kept on repeating that warning till we wished
he would stop saying it. (See Hadith No.7, Vol. 8)

Allah." The bedouin said, "What is next?" The Prophet said, "To be
undutiful to one's parents." The bedouin said "What is next?" The
Prophet said "To take an oath 'Al-Ghamus." The bedouin said, "What
is an oath 'Al-Ghamus'?" The Prophet said, "The false oath through
which one deprives a Muslim of his property (unjustly)."

A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we be punished for what we did

be punished for his former and later (bad deeds)."

Narrated 'Ikrima:
Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The
news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in
his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade
it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).'
I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's
Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'"
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 58
Narrated Abu Burda:
Abu Musa said, "I came to the Prophet along with two men (from the
tribe) of Ash'ariyin, one on my right and the other on my left,
while Allah's Apostle was brushing his teeth (with a Siwak), and
both men asked him for some employment. The Prophet said, 'O Abu
Musa (O 'Abdullah bin Qais!).' I said, 'By Him Who sent you with the
Truth, these two men did not tell me what was in their hearts and I
did not feel (realize) that they were seeking employment.' As if I
were looking now at his Siwak being drawn to a corner under his
lips, and he said, 'We never (or, we do not) appoint for our affairs
anyone who seeks to be employed. But O Abu Musa! (or 'Abdullah bin
Qais!) Go to Yemen.'" The Prophet then sent Mu'adh bin Jabal after
him and when Mu'adh reached him, he spread out a cushion for him and
requested him to get down (and sit on the cushion). Behold: There
was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa. Mu'adh asked, "Who is this
(man)?" Abu Muisa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then
reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Muisa requested Mu'adh to sit
down but Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed.
This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and
repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed,
and he was killed. Abu Musa added, "Then we discussed the night
prayers and one of us said, 'I pray and sleep, and I hope that Allah
will reward me for my sleep as well as for my prayers.'"
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 59
Narrated Abu Huraira:
When the Prophet died and Abu Bakr became his successor and some of
the Arabs reverted to disbelief, 'Umar said, "O Abu Bakr! How can
you fight these people although 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 whoever said, 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah', Allah will save his property and his life
from me, unless (he does something for which he receives legal
punishment) justly, and his account will be with Allah?' "Abu Bakr
said, "By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between prayers
and Zakat as Zakat is the right to be taken from property (according
to Allah's Orders). By Allah! If they refused to pay me even a kid
they used to pay to Allah's Apostle, I would fight with them for
withholding it." 'Umar said, "By Allah: It was nothing, but I
noticed that Allah opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision to
fight, therefore I realized that his decision was right."
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 60
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A Jew passed by Allah's Apostle and said, "As-Samu 'Alaika." Allah's
Apostle said in reply, "We 'Alaika." Allah's Apostle then said to
his companions, "Do you know what he (the Jew) has said? He said,
'As-Samu 'Alaika.'" They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we kill
him?" The Prophet, said, "No. When the people of the Book greet you,
say: 'Wa 'Alaikum.'"
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 61
Narrated 'Aisha:
A group of Jews asked permission to visit the Prophet (and when they
were admitted) they said, "As-Samu 'Alaika (Death be upon you)." I
said (to them), "But death and the curse of Allah be upon you!" The
Prophet said, "O 'Aisha! Allah is kind and lenient and likes that
one should be kind and lenient in all matters." I said, "Haven't you
heard what they said?" He said, "I said (to them), 'Wa 'Alaikum (and
upon you).
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 62

'Sam'Alaika (death be upon you); so you should say; 'Wa 'Alaika (and
upon you).'"
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 63
Narrated 'Abdullah:
As if I am looking at the Prophet while he was speaking about one of
the prophets whose people have beaten and wounded him, and he was
wiping the blood off his face and saying, "O Lord! Forgive my,
people as they do not know."
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 64
Narrated 'Ali:
Whenever I tell you a narration from Allah's Apostle, by Allah, I
would rather fall down from the sky than ascribe a false statement
to him, but if I tell you something between me and you (not a
Hadith) then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to
cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "During
the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will
say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats
(i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their
religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find
them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have reward on the
Day of Resurrection."
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 65
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Yasar:
That they visited Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and asked him about
Al-Harauriyya, a special unorthodox religious sect, "Did you hear
the Prophet saying anything about them?" Abu Sa'id said, "I do not
know what Al-Harauriyya is, but I heard the Prophet saying, "There
will appear in this nation---- he did not say: From this nation ----
a group of people so pious apparently that you will consider your
prayers inferior to their prayers, but they will recite the Quran,
the teachings of which will not go beyond their throats and will go
out of their religion as an arrow darts through the game, whereupon
the archer may look at his arrow, its Nasl at its Risaf and its Fuqa
to see whether it is blood-stained or not (i.e. they will have not
even a trace of Islam in them)."
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 66
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Regarding Al-Harauriyya: The Prophet said, "They will go out of
Islam as an arrow darts out of the game's body.'
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 67
Narrated Abu Sa'id:
While the Prophet was distributing (something, 'Abdullah bin Dhil
Khawaisira At-Tamimi came and said, "Be just, O Allah's Apostle!"
The Prophet said, "Woe to you ! Who would be just if I were not?"
'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "Allow me to cut off his neck ! " The
Prophet said, " Leave him, for he has companions, and if you compare
your prayers with their prayers and your fasting with theirs, you
will look down upon your prayers and fasting, in comparison to
theirs. Yet they will go out of the religion as an arrow darts
through the game's body in which case, if the Qudhadh of the arrow
is examined, nothing will be found on it, and when its Nasl is
examined, nothing will be found on it; and then its Nadiyi is
examined, nothing will be found on it. The arrow has been too fast
to be smeared by dung and blood. The sign by which these people will
be recognized will be a man whose one hand (or breast) will be like
the breast of a woman (or like a moving piece of flesh). These
people will appear when there will be differences among the people
(Muslims)." Abu Sa'id added: I testify that I heard this from the
Prophet and also testify that 'Ali killed those people while I was
with him. The man with the description given by the Prophet was
brought to 'Ali. The following Verses were revealed in connection
with that very person (i.e., 'Abdullah bin Dhil-Khawaisira
At-Tarnimi): 'And among them are men who accuse you (O Muhammad) in
the matter of (the distribution of) the alms.' (9.58)
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 68
Narrated Yusair bin 'Amr:
I asked Sahl bin Hunaif, "Did you hear the Prophet saying anything
about Al-Khawarij?" He said, "I heard him saying while pointing his
hand towards Iraq. "There will appear in it (i.e, Iraq) some people
who will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats,
and they will go out from (leave) Islam as an arrow darts through
the game's body.' "

Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established till two
(huge) groups fight against each other, their claim being one and
the same."

Narrated 'Abdullah:
When the Verse:--'Those who believe and did not confuse their belief
with wrong (worshipping others besides Allah).' (6.82) was revealed,
it was hard on the companions of the Prophet and they said, "Who
among us has not wronged (oppressed) himself?" Allah's Apostle said,
"The meaning of the Verse is not as you think, but it is as Luqman
said to his son, 'O my son! Join not in worship others with Allah,
Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong
indeed.'" (31.13)
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 71
Narrated 'Itban bin Malik:
Once Allah's Apostle came to me in the morning, and a man among us
said, "Where is Malik bin Ad-Dukhshun?" Another man from us replied,
"He is a hypocrite who does not love Allah and His Apostle." The
Prophet said, "Don't you think that he says: None has the right to
be worshipped but Allah, only for Allah's sake?" They replied, "Yes"
The Prophet said, "Nobody will meet Allah with that saying on the
Day of Resurrection, but Allah will save him from the Fire."
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 72
Narrated:
Abu 'Abdur-Rahman and Hibban bin 'Atiyya had a dispute. Abu
'Abdur-Rahman said to Hibban, "You know what made your companions
(i.e. Ali) dare to shed blood." Hibban said, "Come on! What is
that?" 'Abdur-Rahman said, "Something I heard him saying." The other
said, "What was it?" 'AbdurRahman said, "'Ali said, Allah's Apostle
sent for me, Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of us were cavalry
men, and said, 'Proceed to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu
'Awana called it like this, i.e., Hajj where there is a woman
carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans (of
Mecca). So bring that letter to me.' So we proceeded riding on our
horses till we overtook her at the same place of which Allah's
Apostle had told us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter
Hatib had written to the Meccans about the proposed attached of
Allah's Apostle against them. We asked her, "Where is the letter
which is with you?' She replied, 'I haven't got any letter.' So we
made her camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we did not
find anything. My two companions said, 'We do not think that she has
got a letter.' I said, 'We know that Allah's Apostle has not told a
lie.'"
Then 'Ali took an oath saying, "By Him by Whom one should swear! You
shall either bring out the letter or we shall strip off your
clothes." She then stretched out her hand for her girdle (round her
waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They took the letter to
Allah's Apostle. 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! (Hatib) has
betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his
neck!" Allah's Apostle said, "O Hatib! What obliged you to do what
you have done?" Hatib replied, "O Allah's Apostle! Why (for what
reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I
intended to do the (Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my
family and property may be protected as there is none of your
companions but has some of his people (relatives) whom Allah urges
to protect his family and property." The Prophet said, "He has said
the truth; therefore, do not say anything to him except good." 'Umar
again said, "O Allah's Apostle! He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle
and the believers; let me chop his neck off!" The Prophet said,
"Isn't he from those who fought the battle of Badr? And what do you
know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to
them), 'Do what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?' " On
that, 'Umar's eyes became flooded with tears and he said, "Allah and
His Apostle know best."
