18. Narrated 'Ubāda bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit رضي الله عنه, who took part in the battle of Badr and was a Naqīb (a person heading a group of six persons), on the night of Al-Aqaba Pledge : Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said while a group of his Companions were around him, "Give me the Bai'āh (pledge) for : 1. Not to join anything in worship along with Allāh. 2. Not to steal. 3. Not to commit illegal sexual intercourse. 4. Not to kill your children. 5. Not to utter slander intentionally forging falsehood (i.e., by making illegal children belonging to their husbands) or (not to accuse an innocent person and to spread such an accusation among people). 6. Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do Ma'rūf (Islamic Monotheism and all other good deeds). (The Prophet ﷺ added): "Whoever amongst you fulfils his pledge will be rewarded by Allāh . جَلَّ جَلَالَهُ . And whoever indulges in any one of these (sins) gets the punishment in this world, that punishment will be an expiation for that sin. And if one indulges in any of them, and Allāh conceals (his sin), it is up to Him to forgive or punish him (in the Hereafter)." ‘Ubāda bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit added: "So we gave the Bai'āh for these." (points to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ).

They said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We are not like you. Allāh بجل has forgiven your past and future sins." So Allāh's Messenger ﷺ became angry and it was apparent on his face. He said, "I fear Allāh عزوجل more, and know Allāh تعالى better, than all of you do."

So they will be taken out but (by then) they will be blackened (charred). Then they will be put in the river of Hayā' or Hayāt (life) (the narrator is in doubt as to which is the right word), and they will revive like a grain that grows near the bank of a flood channel. Don't you see that it comes out yellow and twisted?" Wuhaib stated: While narrating us 'Amr رضي الله عنه used the word Hayāt (life).

23. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "While I was sleeping I saw (in a dream) that some people were displayed before me wearing shirts, of which some were reaching up to the breasts only, while others were even shorter than that. And 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb was displayed before me wearing a (long) shirt which he was dragging." The people asked, "How did you interpret it? (What is its interpretation) O Allāh's Messenger?" He (the Prophet ﷺ) replied, "It is the religion."

He replied, “I abused a man by calling his mother with bad names.” The Prophet ﷺ said to me, “O Abū D̄har! Did you abuse him by calling his mother with bad names? You still have some characteristics of ignorance. Your slaves are your brothers and Allāh has put them under your command. So whoever has a brother under his command, should feed him of that which he eats and dress him of that which he wears. Do not ask them (slaves) to do things beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so, then help them”.

English translation

36. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Al-Jihād (Holy fighting) in Allāh's Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islām and is one of its pillars (on which it stands). By Jihād Islām is established, Allāh's Word is made superior. (His Word – Lā ilāha illallāh – none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and His Religion Islām is propagated. By abandoning Jihād (may Allāh protect us from that) Islām is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanishes, Jihād is an obligatory duty in Islām on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh عز وجل assigns for a person who participates in (holy battles) in Allāh's Cause and nothing causes him to do so except belief in Allāh and in His Messengers, that he will be recompensed by Allāh either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a martyr)". The Prophet ﷺ added: "Had I not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain behind any Sariya (an army-unit) going for Jihād and I would have loved to be martyred in Allāh's Cause and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His Cause."

40. Narrated Al-Barā' (bin 'Azīb) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: When the Prophet ﷺ came to Al-Madina, he stayed first with his grandfathers or maternal uncles from Anṣār. He offered his Salāt (prayers) facing Bait-ul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months, but he wished that he could pray facing the Ka'bah (at Makkah). The first Salāt (prayer) which he ﷺ offered facing the Ka'bah was the 'Aṣr prayer in the company of some people. Then one of those who had offered that Salāt with him came out and passed by some people in a mosque who were bowing during their Salāt (facing Jerusalem). He said addressing them, "By Allāh, I testify that I have offered Salāt with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ facing Makkah (Ka'bah)." (Hearing that), those people changed their direction towards the Ka'bah immediately. Jews and the people of the Scriptures used to be pleased to see (the Prophet ﷺ) facing Jerusalem in Salāt but when he ﷺ changed his direction towards the Ka'bah, (during the Salāt), they disapproved of it. Al-Barā' رضي الله عنه added, "Before we changed our direction towards the Ka'bah (at Makkah) in prayers, some Muslims had died or had been killed and we did not know what to say about them (regarding their prayers.) Allāh جل جلاله then revealed: "And Allāh would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. your Salāt (prayers) offered towards Jerusalem)." (V.2:143)

46. Narrated Ṭalḥa bin 'Ubaidullāh رضي الله عنه: A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and we heard his loud voice but could not understand what he was saying, till he came near (and then we came to know) that he was asking about Islām. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "You have to perform five Salāt (prayers) (Iqāmat-as-Salāt) in a day and night (24 hours)." The man asked, "Are there any other (more) Salāt (prayers) upon me?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "No, but if you want to perform the Nawāfil Salāt (you can)." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ further said to him: "You have to observe Saum [fasts (according to Islāmic teachings)] during the month of Ramaḍān." The man asked, "Are there any other (more) fasting upon me?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "No, but if you want to observe the Nawāfil fasts (you can.)" Then (1) (Ch.34) Zakāt : زكاة: A certain fixed proportion of the wealth and of the each and every kind of the property liable to Zakāt of a Muslim to be paid yearly for the benefit of the poor in the Muslim community. The payment of Zakāt is obligatory as it is one of the five pillars of Islām. Zakāt is the major economic means for establishing social justice and leading the Muslim society to prosperity and security. [See Saḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī, Vol.2, Book of Zakāt (24)]. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ further said to him, "You have to pay the Zakāt." The man asked, "Is there any thing other than the Zakāt for me to pay?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "No, unless you want to give alms of your own." And then that man retreated saying, "By Allāh! I will neither do less nor more than this." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "If what he said is true, then he will be successful (i.e. he will be granted Paradise)."

47. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "A believer who accompanies the funeral procession of a Muslim out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allāh's Reward and remains with it till the funeral prayer is offered and the burial ceremonies are over, he will return with a reward of two Qirāṭ. Each Qirāṭ is like the size of the (mount) Uḥud. He who offers the funeral prayer only and returns before the burial, will return with the reward of one Qirāṭ only."

Narrated ‘Ubāda bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit رضي الله عنه: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ went out to inform the people about the (date of the) night of decree (Al-Qadr) but there happened a quarrel between two men from amongst the Muslims. The Prophet ﷺ said, “I came out to inform you about (the date of) the night of Al-Qadr, but as so-and-so quarrelled, its knowledge was taken away (I forgot it) and maybe it was better for you. Now look for it in the 7th, the 9th and the 5th (of the last 10 nights of the month of Ramaḍān).”

50. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: One day while the Prophet ﷺ was sitting out for the people, (a man – the angel) Jibrīl (Gabriel) عليه السلام came to him and asked, "What is faith?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "Faith is to believe in Allāh, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Messengers, and to believe in Resurrection."(1) Then he further asked, "What is Islām?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "To worship Allāh جل جلاله Alone and none else, to perform the Ṣalāt (prayers) (Iqāmat-aṣ-Ṣalāt), to pay the Zakāt and to observe Saum [fasts (according to Islāmic teachings)] during the month of Ramaḍān"(2) Then he further asked, "What is Ihsān (perfection)?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ replied, "To worship Allāh جل جلاله as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you.” Then he further asked, “When will the Hour be established?” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ replied, “The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents. 1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master. 2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allāh. The Prophet ﷺ then recited: “Verily, Allāh! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour —.” (V.31:34) Then that man (the angel) left and the Prophet ﷺ asked his Companions to call him back, but they could not see anything (him). Then the Prophet ﷺ said, “That was Jibrīl (Gabriel) عليه السلام, who came to teach the people their religion.” Abū ‘Abdullāh رضي الله عنه said: He (the Prophet ﷺ) considered all that as a part of faith.

51. Narrated ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Abbās رضي الله عنه: I was informed by Abū Sufyān that Heraclius said to him, “I asked you whether they (followers of Muḥammad ﷺ) were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing. And in fact, this is the way of true Faith till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his (the Prophet ﷺ) religion (Islām) became displeased and discarded it. You replied in the negative, and in fact, this is (a sign of) True Faith. When its delight enters the heart and mixes with them completely, nobody can be displeased with it.”

52. Narrated An-Nu'mān bin Bashīr رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, "Both legal and illegal things are evident but in between them there are doubtful (unclear) things and most of the people have no knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself from these doubtful (unclear) things, he saves his religion and his honour. And whoever indulges in these doubtful (unclear) things is like a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the Hima (private pasture) of someone else, and at any moment he is liable to get in it. (O people!) Beware! Every king has a Hima and the Hima of Allāh جل جلاله on the earth is His illegal (forbidden) things. Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body, if it becomes good (reformed), the whole body becomes good, but if it gets spoilt, the whole body gets spoilt, and that is the heart.

53. Narrated Abū Jamra: I used to sit with Ibn Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا and he made me sit on his sitting place. He requested me to stay with him in order that he might give me a share from his property. So I stayed with him for two months. Once he told (me) that when the delegation of the tribe of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet ﷺ, the Prophet ﷺ asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (Or) who are the delegates?" They replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabī'a." Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them, "Welcome! O people (or O delegation of 'Abdul Qais)! Neither will you have disgrace or will you regret." They said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We cannot come to you except in the sacred month and there is the infidel tribe of Muḍār intervening between you and us. So please order us to do something good (religious deeds) so that we may inform our people whom we have left behind (at home), and that we may enter Paradise (by acting on them)." Then they asked about drinks (what is legal and what is illegal). The Prophet ﷺ ordered them to do four things and forbade them from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allāh Alone and asked them, "Do you know what is meant by believing in Allāh Alone?" They replied, "Allāh and His Messenger know better." Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "It means: 1. To testify that Lā ilāha illallāh wa anna Muḥammad-ar-Rasul Allāh" (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh and Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh). 2. Iqāmat-aṣ-Ṣalāt [to perform the (compulsory congregational) Salāt (prayers)]. 3. To pay the Zakāt. 4. To observe Saum [fasts (according to Islāmic teachings)] during the month of Ramaḍān. 5. And to pay Al-Khumus (one-fifth of the booty to be given in Allāh's Cause). Then he forbade them four things, namely Al-Hantam, Ad-Dubbā, An-Naqīr and Al-Muzaffat or Al-Muqaiyar; (these were the names of pots in which alcoholic drinks were prepared) (the Prophet ﷺ mentioned the container of wine and he meant the wine itself). The Prophet ﷺ further said (to them): "Memorize them (these instructions) and convey them to the people whom you have left behind."

58. Narrated Ziyāḍ bin 'Aāqa رضي الله عنه: I heard Jarīr bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنهم (جل جلاله) on the day when Al-Mughīra bin Shu'ba died, he (Jarīr) got up (on the pulpit) and thanked and praised Allāh جل جلاله and said, "Be afraid of Allāh Alone. Who has none along with Him to be worshipped. (You should) be calm and quiet till the (new) chief comes to you and he will come to you soon. Ask Allāh's forgiveness for your (late) chief because he himself loved to forgive others." Jarīr added, "Ammā ba' du (then after), I came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! I give my Bai'ah (pledge) to you for Islām.' The Prophet ﷺ conditioned (my pledge) for me to be sincere and true to every Muslim i.e. to order them for the Al-Ma'rūf [i.e., Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islām orders one to do, and to forbid them from the Al-Munkar (i.e., disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that Islām has forbidden), and to help them, and to be merciful and kind to them etc.], so I gave my pledge to him for this. By the Lord of this mosque! I am sincere and true to you (Muslims)." Then Jarīr asked for Allāh's forgiveness and came down (from the pulpit).
