60 - THE BOOK OF THE STORIES OF THE PROPHETS

English translation

3326. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh created Ādam, and his height was 60 cubits. (When He created him), He said to him: 'Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutation) of your offspring.' So, Ādam said (to the angels): 'As-Salāmu 'Alaikum' (i.e., peace be upon you). The angels replied (saying), 'As-Salāmu 'Alaika wa Raḥmatullāhi' (i.e., peace and Allāh's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Ādam's salutation the expression 'Wa Raḥmatullāhi.' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Ādam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Ādam's creation."

3327. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "The first group of people who will enter Paradise will be glittering like the moon on a full-moon night, and those who will follow them will glitter like the most brilliant star in the sky. They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be of gold and their sweat will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be used in their censers. There wives will be Hūr(1). All of them will look alike as if they are one person in the image of their father Ādam, sixty cubits tall."

Is it necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?' He said, 'Yes, if she notices the water (i.e., discharge).' Umm Salama smiled and said, 'Does a woman get discharge?' Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: 'Then why does a child resemble (its mother)?'" [See Vol. 1, Hadīth No. 130]

3329. Narrated Anas: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: When 'Abdullāh bin Salām heard of the arrival of the Prophet ﷺ at Al-Madīna, he came to him and said, "I am going to ask you about three things which nobody knows except a Prophet: (1) What is the first portent of the Hour? (2) What will be the first meal taken by the people of Paradise? (3) Why does a child resemble its father, and why does it resemble its maternal uncle (mother's brother)?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Jibril (Gabriel) has just now told me of their answers." 'Abdullāh said, "He (i.e., Jibril), from amongst all the angels, is the enemy of the Jews." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "As for the first sign of the Hour, it will be a fire that will collect (or gather) the people from the east to the west; the first meal of the people of Paradise will be extra lobe (caudate lobe) of fish-liver. As for the resemblance of the child to its parents: If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if the woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her." On that 'Abdullāh bin Salām said, "I testify that you are the Messenger of Allāh." 'Abdullāh bin Salām further said, "O Allāh's Messenger! The Jews are liars, and if they should come to know about my conversion to Islām before you ask them (about me), they would tell a lie about me." The Jews came to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and 'Abdullāh went inside the house. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked (the Jews), "What kind of man is 'Abdullāh bin Salām amongst you?" They replied, "He is the most learned person amongst us, and the best amongst us, and the son of the best amongst us." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "What do you think if he embraces Islām (will you do like him)?" The Jews said, "May Allāh save him from it." Then 'Abdullāh bin Salām came out in front of them saying, "I testify that Lā ilāha illallāh, wa anna Muḥammad-ar-Rasūl Allāh, (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh and that Muḥammad ﷺ is the Messenger of Allāh)". Thereupon they said, "He is the most wicked amongst us, and the son of the most wicked amongst us," So they degraded him and continued talking badly of him.

3332. Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, the true and truly inspired said, (as regards your creation) everyone of you is collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days, and then he becomes a clot for another forty days, and then a piece of flesh for another forty days. Then Allāh sends an angel to write four words: He writes his deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood, and whether he will be wretched or blessed (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into his body. So, a man may do deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses and so he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise. Similarly, a person may do deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses and he starts doing deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire and enters the (Hell) Fire."

Then Allah will ask Nūh, 'Who will stand a witness for you?' He will reply, 'Muhammad ﷺ and his followers (will stand witness for me)'. So, I and my followers will stand as witnesses for him (that he conveyed Allah's Message)." That is, (the interpretation) of the Statement of Allah جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ: "Thus We have made you (true Muslims—real believers of Islāmic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his Sunna—legal ways), a just (and the best) nation, that you might be witnesses over mankind..."

3340. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ at a banquet and a cooked (mutton) forearm was put before him, and he used to like it. He ate a morsel of it and said, "I will be the chief of all the people on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know how Allāh will gather all the first and the last (people) in one level ground, where an observer will be able to see (all) of them and they will be able to hear the announcer, and the sun will come near to them. Then some people will say: Don't you see, in what condition you are and the state to which you have reached? Why don't you look for a person who can intercede for you with your Lord? Some people will say: Appeal to your father, Ādam. They will go to him and say, 'O Ādam! You are the father of all mankind, and Allāh created you with His Own Hands, and breathed into you the Spirit(1) which He created for you and ordered the angels to prostrate for you so they did, and made you live in Paradise. Will you not intercede for us with your Lord? Don't you see in what (miserable) state we are, and to what condition we have reached?' On that Ādam will reply, 'My Lord has become angry as He has never become before and will never become thereafter; (besides), He forbade me (to eat from) the tree, but I disobeyed (Him), Myself! Myself! Go to somebody else; go to Nūh (Noah).' They will go to Nūh and say; 'O Nūh! You are the first amongst the Messengers of Allāh to the people of the earth, and Allāh named you a thankful slave. Don't you see in what a (miserable) state we are and to what condition we have reached? Will you not intercede for us with your Lord?' Nūh will reply. 'Today my Lord has become angry as He had never become before and will never become thereafter. Myself! Myself! Go to the Prophet (Muḥammad ﷺ)'. The people will come to me, and I will prostrate myself underneath Allāh's Throne. Then I will be addressed: 'O Muḥammad! Raise your head; intercede, for your intercession will be accepted, and ask (for anything), for you will be given.” [See Vol. 9, Hadīth No.7440]

3342. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Abū D̄har رضي الله عنه used to say that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "While I was at Makkah, the roof of my house was opened and Jibrīl (Gabriel) descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith, and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the heaven. When Jibrīl reached the nearest heaven, he said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' Jibrīl answered, 'Jibrīl.' He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Jibrīl replied, 'Muḥammad (ﷺ) is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?' Jibrīl said, 'Yes.' So, the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven, and there we saw a man sitting with Aswīda (a large number of people) on his right and Aswīda on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked towards his left he wept. He said (to me), 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son'. I said, 'Who is this man O Jibrīl?' Jibrīl replied, 'He is Adam, and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on the right are the people of Paradise, and those on the left are the people of the (Hell) Fire. So, when he looks to the right, he laughs, and when he looks to the left he weeps.' Then Jibrīl ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and said to its gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven had said, and he opened the gate." Anas added: Abū D̄har mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ met Idrīs, Mūsā (Moses), Īsā (Jesus) and Ibrāhīm (Abraham) over the heavens, but he did not specify their places (i.e., on which heaven each of them was), but he mentioned that he (the Prophet ﷺ) had met Ādam on the nearest heaven, and Ibrāhīm on the sixth. Anas said, "When Jibrīl and the Prophet ﷺ passed by Idrīs, the latter said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' the Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Who is he?' Jibrīl said, 'He is Idrīs.'" The Prophet ﷺ added, "Then I passed by Mūsā who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibrīl said, 'He is Mūsā.' Then I passed by Īsā who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is Īsā.' Then I passed by the Prophet Ibrāhīm who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibrīl replied, 'He is Ibrāhīm'." Narrated Ibn 'Abbās and Abū Haiyya Al-Anṣārī: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then Jibrīl ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of the pens." Ibn Ḥazm and Anas bin Mālik state that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh enjoined fifty Ṣalāt (prayers) on me. When I returned with this order of Allāh, I passed by Mūsā who asked me, 'What has Allāh enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty Ṣalāt (prayers) on them.' On that Mūsā said to me, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction), for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord and asked for some reduction, and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Mūsā again and informed him about it, he once more said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord similarly as before, and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Mūsā and he said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' I again returned to my Lord and He said, 'These are five (Ṣalāt-prayers) and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward), for My Word does not change.' I returned to Mūsā, he again told me to return to my Lord (for further reduction) but I said to him 'I feel shy of asking my Lord now.' Then Jibrīl took me till we reached Sidrat-ul-Muntahā (i.e., lote tree of utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colours indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small tents (made) of pearls and its earth was musk (a kind of perfume)."

Then a manwith sunken eyes, prominent cheeks, a raisedforehead, a thick beard and a shaven headcame (in front of the Prophet ﷺ) and said,"Be afraid of Allāh, O Muḥammad!" TheProphet ﷺ said "Who would obey Allāh if Idisobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allāh hastrusted all the people of the earth to mewhile, you do not trust me?" Somebody,who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walīd,requested the Prophet ﷺ to let him chopthat man's head off, but he prevented him.When the man left, the Prophet ﷺ said,"Among the offspring of this man will besome who will recite the Qur'ān, but theQur'ān will not reach beyond their throats(i.e., they will recite like parrots and will not understand it nor act on it), and they will renegade from the religion (i.e., discard Islām) as an arrow goes out through the game's body. They will kill the Muslims but will leave the idolaters. If I should live up to their time I will kill them as the people of 'Ād were killed (i.e., I will kill all of them)".

٣٣٥٨. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Ibrāhīm (Abraham) did not tell a lie except on three occasions. Twice for the sake of Allāh عز وجل when he said, "I am sick," and he said, "(I have not done this but) the big idol has done it."(1) The (third was) that while Ibrāhīm (Abraham) and Sārah (his wife) were going (on a journey), they passed by (the territory of) a tyrant from amongst the tyrants. Someone said to the tyrant, "This man [i.e., Ibrāhīm (Abraham)] is accompanied by a very charming lady." So, he sent for Ibrāhīm and asked him about Sārah saying "Who is this lady?" Ibrāhīm (Abraham) said, "She is my sister." Ibrāhīm (Abraham) went to Sārah and said, "O Sārah! There are no believers on the surface of the earth except you and I. This man asked me about you and I have told him that you are my sister, so don't contradict my statement." The tyrant then called Sārah and when she went to him, he tried to take hold of her with his hand, but (his hand got stiff and) he was confounded. He asked Sārah, "Pray to Allāh for me, and I shall not harm you." So Sārah asked Allāh to cure him and he got cured. He tried to take hold of her for the second time, but [his hand got as stiff as (or stiffer than) before and] was more confounded. He again requested Sārah, "Pray to Allāh for me, and I will not harm you." Sārah asked Allāh again and he became alright. He then called one of his guards (who had brought her) and said, "You have not brought me a human being but have brought me a devil." The tyrant then gave Hājar as a girl-servant to Sārah. Sārah came back [to Ibrāhīm (Abraham)] while he was offering Ṣalāt (prayer). Ibrāhīm (Abraham) gesturing with his hand, asked, "What has happened?" She replied, "Allāh has spoiled the evil plot of the infidel (or immoral person) and gave me Hājar for service."

Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: When the following Verse was revealed: "It is those who believe (in the Oneness of Allāh and worship none but Him Alone) and confuse not their belief with Zulm (wrong i.e., by worshipping others besides Allāh)..."(2) (V.6:82) We said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Who is there amongst us who has not done Zulm (wrong) to himself?" He replied, "It is not as you say, for Zulm in the Verse and 'confuse not their belief, with Zulm means 'Shirk' (i.e., joining others in worship with Allāh). Haven't you heard Luqmān's saying to his son, '...O my son! Join not in worship others with Allāh. Verily! Joining others in worship with Allāh is a great Zulm (wrong) indeed.'" (V.31:13)

3364. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنها [on the authority of the Prophet ﷺ (see Fath Al-Bari, Vol. 7)]: The first lady to use a girdle was the mother of Ismā'il (Ishmael). She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sārah.(1) Ibrāhīm (Abraham) brought her and her son Ismā'il while she used to nurse him at her breast, to a place near the Ka'bah under a tree on the spot of Zamzam, at the highest place in the mosque. During those days there was nobody in Makkah nor was there any water. So he made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates, and a small water-skin containing some water, and set out homeward. Ismā'il's (Ishmael) mother followed him saying, "O Ibrāhīm! Where are you going, leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy, nor is there anything (to enjoy)?" She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look back at her. Then she asked him, "Has Allāh ordered you to do so?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Then He will not neglect us," and returned while Ibrāhīm proceeded onwards, and on reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him, he faced the Ka'bah, and raising both hands, invoked Allāh saying the following supplication: 'O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley, by Your Sacred House (Ka'bah at Makkah).. (up to).. so that they may give thanks.'(V.14:37) Ismā'il's mother went on suckling Ismā'il and drinking from the water (she had). When the water in the water-skin had all been used up, she became thirsty and her child also became thirsty. She started looking at him (i.e., Ismā'īl) tossing in agony. She left him, for she could not endure looking at him, and found that the mountain of Aṣ-Ṣafā was the nearest mountain to her on that land. She stood on it and started looking at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody, but she could not see anybody. Then she descended from Aṣ-Ṣafā and when she reached the valley, she tucked up her robe and ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble, till she crossed the valley and reached Al-Marwa mountain, where she stood and started looking, expecting to see somebody, but she could not see anybody. She repeated that (running between Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa) seven times." Ibn Abbās said: The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is the source of the tradition of Sā'y (the walking) of people between them (i.e., Aṣ-Ṣafā and Al-Marwa). When she reached Al-Marwa (for the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened attentively. She heard the voice again and said, 'O, (whoever you may be)! You have made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me?' And behold! She saw an angel at the place of Zamzam, digging the earth with his heel (or his wing), till water flowed from that place. She started to make something like a basin around it, using her hands in this way, and started filling her water-skin with water with her hands, and the water was flowing out after she had scooped some of it." The Prophet ﷺ added, "May Allāh bestow mercy on Ismā'īl's mother! Had she let the Zamzam (flow without trying to control it) (or had she not scooped from that water) (to fill her water-skin), Zamzam would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth." The Prophet ﷺ further added, "Then she drank (water) and suckled her child. The angel said to her, 'Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allāh which will be built by this boy and his father, and Allāh never neglects His people.' The House (i.e., Ka'bah) at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock, and when torrents came, they flowed to its right and left. She lived in that way till some people from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum passed by her and her child, as they (i.e., the Jurhum people) were coming through the way of Kadā'. They landed in the lower part of Makkah where they saw a bird that had the habit of flying around water and not leaving it. They said, 'This bird must be flying around water, though we know that there is no water in this valley.' They sent one or two messengers who discovered the source of water, and returned to inform them of the water. So, they all came (towards the water)." The Prophet ﷺ added, "Isma'il's mother was sitting near the water. They asked her, 'Do you allow us to stay with you?' She replied, 'Yes, but you will have no right to possess the water.' They agreed to that." The Prophet ﷺ further said, "Isma'il's mother was pleased with the whole situation as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people. So, they settled there, and later on they sent for their families who came and settled with them so that some families became permanent residents there. The child (i.e., Isma'il) grew up and learnt Arabic from them and (his virtues) caused them to love and admire him as he grew up, and when he reached the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from amongst them. After Isma'il's mother had died, Ibrāhīm (Abraham) came after Isma'il's marriage in order to see his family that he had left long ago, but he did not find Ismā'il there. When he asked Ismā'il's wife about him, she replied, 'He has gone in search of our livelihood.' Then he asked her about their way of living and their condition, and she replied, 'We are living in misery; we are living in hardship and destitution,' complaining to him. He said, 'When your husband returns, convey my salutation to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate (of his house).' When Ismā'il came, he seemed to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife, 'Has anyone visited you?' She replied, 'Yes, an old man of so-and-so description came and asked me about you and I informed him, and he asked about our state of living, and I told him that we were living in hardship and poverty.' On that Ismā'il said, 'Did he advise you anything?' She replied, 'Yes, he told me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate.' Ismā'il said, 'It was my father, and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family.' So, Ismā'il divorced her and married another woman from amongst them (i.e., Jurhum). Then Ibrāhīm (Abraham) stayed away from them for a period as long as Allāh wished and called on them again but did not find Ismā'il. So he came to Ismā'il's wife and asked her about Ismā'il. She said, 'He has gone in search of our livelihood.' Ibrāhīm (Abraham) asked her, 'How are you getting on?' asking her about their sustenance and living. She replied, 'We are prosperous and well-off (i.e., we have everything in abundance).' Then she thanked Allāh عز وجل. Ibrāhīm (Abraham) asked, 'What kind of food do you eat?' She said, 'Meat.' He said, 'What do you drink?' She said, 'Water.' He said, 'O Allāh! Bless their meat and water.'" The Prophet ﷺ added, "At that time they did not have grain, and if they had grain, he would have also invoked Allāh to bless it.” The Prophet ﷺ added, “If somebody has only these two things as his sustenance, his health and disposition will be badly affected, unless he lives in Makkah.” The Prophet ﷺ added, “Then Ibrāhīm (Abraham) said to Ismā’il’s wife, ‘When your husband comes, give my regards to him and tell him that he should keep firm the threshold of his gate.’ When Ismā’il came back, he asked his wife, ‘Did anyone call on you?’ She replied, ‘Yes, a good-looking old man came to me,’ so she praised him and added: ‘He asked about you, and I informed him, and he asked about our livelihood and I told him that we were in a good condition.’ Ismā’il asked her, ‘Did he give you any piece of advice?’ She said, ‘Yes, he told me to give his regards to you and ordered that you should keep firm the threshold of your gate.’ On that Ismā’il said, ‘It was my father, and you are the threshold (of the gate). He has ordered me to keep you with me.’ Then Ibrāhīm (Abraham) stayed away from them for a period as long as Allāh wished, and called on them afterwards. He saw Ismā’il under a tree near Zamzam, sharpening his arrows. When he saw Ibrāhīm (Abraham), he rose up to welcome him (and they greeted each other as a father does with his son or a son does with his father). Ibrāhīm (Abraham) said, ‘O Ismā’il! Allāh has given me an order.’ Ismā’il said, ‘Do what your Lord has ordered you to do.’ Ibrāhīm (Abraham) asked, ‘Will you help me?’ Ismā’il said, ‘I will help you.’ Ibrāhīm (Abraham) said, ‘Allāh has ordered me to build a house here, pointing to a hillock higher than the land surrounding it.’” The Prophet ﷺ added: “Then they raised the foundations of the House (i.e., the Ka’bah). Ismā’il brought the stones and Ibrāhīm (Abraham) was building, and when the walls became high, Ismā'il brought this stone(1) and put it for Ibrāhīm who stood over it and carried on building, while Ismā'il was handing him the stones, and both of them were saying: '...Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.' (V. 2:127) The Prophet ﷺ added, "Then both of them went on building and going round the Ka'bah saying: 'Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.'" (V.2:127)

أَوْ قَالَ: لَوْ لَمْ تَغْرِفْ مِنَ المَاءِ -، لَكَانَتْ زَمْزَمُ عَيْنًا مَعِينًا " قَالَ: فَشَرِبَتْ وَأَرْضَعَتْ وَلَدَهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا المَلَكُ: لاَ تَخَافُوا الضَّيْعَةَ، فَإِنَّ هَا هُنَا بَيْتَ اللَّهِ، يَبْنِي هَذَا الغُلاَمُ وَأَبُوهُ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُضِيعُ أَهْلَهُ، وَكَانَ البَيْتُ مُرْتَفِعًا مِنَ الأَرْضِ كَالرَّابِيَةِ، تَأْتِيهِ السُّيُولُ، فَتَأْخُذُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَشِمَالِهِ، فَكَانَتْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى مَرَّتْ بِهِمْ رُفْقَةٌ مِنْ جُرْهُمَ، أَوْ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مِنْ جُرْهُمَ، مُقْبِلِينَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ كَدَاءٍ، فَنَزَلُوا فِي أَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ فَرَأَوْا طَائِرًا عَائِفًا، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّ هَذَا الطَّائِرَ لَيَدُورُ عَلَى مَاءٍ، لَعَهْدُنَا بِهَذَا الوَادِي وَمَا فِيهِ مَاءٌ، فَأَرْسَلُوا جَرِيًّا أَوْ جَرِيَّيْنِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِالْمَاءِ، فَرَجَعُوا فَأَخْبَرُوهُمْ بِالْمَاءِ فَأَقْبَلُوا، قَالَ: وَأُمُّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عِنْدَ المَاءِ، فَقَالُوا: أَتَأْذَنِينَ لَنَا أَنْ نَنْزِلَ عِنْدَكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، وَلَكِنْ لاَ حَقَّ لَكُمْ فِي المَاءِ، قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَأَلْفَى ذَلِكَ أُمَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَهِيَ تُحِبُّ الإِنْسَ» فَنَزَلُوا وَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ فَنَزَلُوا مَعَهُمْ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِهَا أَهْلُ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنْهُمْ، وَشَبَّ الغُلاَمُ وَتَعَلَّمَ العَرَبِيَّةَ مِنْهُمْ، وَأَنْفَسَهُمْ وَأَعْجَبَهُمْ حِينَ شَبَّ، فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَ زَوَّجُوهُ امْرَأَةً مِنْهُمْ، وَمَاتَتْ أُمُّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، فَجَاءَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بَعْدَمَا تَزَوَّجَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ يُطَالِعُ تَرِكَتَهُ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، فَسَأَلَ امْرَأَتَهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَتْ: خَرَجَ يَبْتَغِي لَنَا، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهَا عَنْ عَيْشِهِمْ وَهَيْئَتِهِمْ، فَقَالَتْ نَحْنُ بِشَرٍّ، نَحْنُ فِي ضِيقٍ وَشِدَّةٍ، فَشَكَتْ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا جَاءَ زَوْجُكِ فَاقْرَئِي عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ، وَقُولِي لَهُ يُغَيِّرْ عَتَبَةَ بَابِهِ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ كَأَنَّهُ آنَسَ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ: هَلْ جَاءَكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، جَاءَنَا شَيْخٌ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَسَأَلَنَا عَنْكَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، وَسَأَلَنِي كَيْفَ عَيْشُنَا، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّا فِي جَهْدٍ وَشِدَّةٍ، قَالَ: فَهَلْ أَوْصَاكِ بِشَيْءٍ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمَ، وَيَقُولُ غَيِّرْ عَتَبَةَ بَابِكَ، قَالَ: ذَاكِ أَبِي، وَقَدْ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُفَارِقَكِ، الحَقِي بِأَهْلِكِ، فَطَلَّقَهَا، وَتَزَوَّجَ مِنْهُمْ أُخْرَى، فَلَبِثَ عَنْهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ بَعْدُ فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْهُ، فَقَالَتْ: خَرَجَ يَبْتَغِي لَنَا، قَالَ: كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ؟ وَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ عَيْشِهِمْ وَهَيْئَتِهِمْ، فَقَالَتْ: نَحْنُ بِخَيْرٍ وَسَعَةٍ، وَأَثْنَتْ عَلَى اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا طَعَامُكُمْ؟ قَالَتِ اللَّحْمُ، قَالَ فَمَا شَرَابُكُمْ؟ قَالَتِ المَاءُ. قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي اللَّحْمِ وَالمَاءِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ حَبٌّ، وَلَوْ كَانَ لَهُمْ دَعَا لَهُمْ فِيهِ». قَالَ: فَهُمَا لاَ يَخْلُو عَلَيْهِمَا أَحَدٌ بِغَيْرِ مَكَّةَ إِلَّا لَمْ يُوَافِقَاهُ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا جَاءَ زَوْجُكِ فَاقْرَئِي عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ، وَمُرِيهِ يُثْبِتُ عَتَبَةَ بَابِهِ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: هَلْ أَتَاكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، أَتَانَا شَيْخٌ حَسَنُ الهَيْئَةِ، وَأَثْنَتْ عَلَيْهِ، فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْكَ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَسَأَلَنِي كَيْفَ عَيْشُنَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنَّا بِخَيْرٍ، قَالَ: فَأَوْصَاكِ بِشَيْءٍ، قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، هُوَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمَ، وَيَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُثْبِتَ عَتَبَةَ بَابِكَ، قَالَ: ذَاكِ أَبِي وَأَنْتِ العَتَبَةُ، أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُمْسِكَكِ، ثُمَّ لَبِثَ عَنْهُمْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ يَبْرِي نَبْلًا لَهُ تَحْتَ دَوْحَةٍ قَرِيبًا مِنْ زَمْزَمَ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ، فَصَنَعَا كَمَا يَصْنَعُ الوَالِدُ بِالوَلَدِ وَالوَلَدُ بِالوَالِدِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي بِأَمْرٍ، قَالَ: فَاصْنَعْ مَا أَمَرَكَ رَبُّكَ، قَالَ: وَتُعِينُنِي؟ قَالَ: وَأُعِينُكَ، قَالَ: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَبْنِيَ هَا هُنَا بَيْتًا، وَأَشَارَ إِلَى أَكَمَةٍ مُرْتَفِعَةٍ عَلَى مَا حَوْلَهَا، قَالَ: فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ رَفَعَا القَوَاعِدَ مِنَ البَيْتِ، فَجَعَلَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَأْتِي بِالحِجَارَةِ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ يَبْنِي، حَتَّى إِذَا ارْتَفَعَ البِنَاءُ، جَاءَ بِهَذَا الحَجَرِ فَوَضَعَهُ لَهُ فَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ، وَهُوَ يَبْنِي وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ يُنَاوِلُهُ الحِجَارَةَ، وَهُمَا يَقُولاَنِ: {رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ العَلِيمُ} [البقرة: 127]، قَالَ: فَجَعَلاَ يَبْنِيَانِ حَتَّى يَدُورَا حَوْلَ البَيْتِ وَهُمَا يَقُولاَنِ: {رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ العَلِيمُ} [البقرة: 127]

3365. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما 'Abbās (See Hadith No. 3364). When Ibrāhīm (Abraham) had differences with his wife, [because of her jealousy of Hājar, Ismā'il's (Ishmael) mother], he took Ishmael and his mother and went away. They had a water-skin with them containing some water, Ismā'il's mother used to drink water from the water-skin so that her milk would increase for her child. When Ibrāhīm reached Makkah, he made her sit under a tree and afterwards returned home. Ismā'il's mother followed him, and when they reached Kadā', she called him from behind, 'O Ibrāhīm! To whom are you leaving us?' He replied, '(I am leaving you) to Allāh's (Care).' She said, 'I am satisfied to be with Allāh.' She returned to her place and started drinking water from the water-skin, and her milk increased for her child. When the water had all been used up, she said to herself, 'I'd better go and look so that I may see somebody.' She ascended Aṣ-Ṣafā mountain and looked, hoping to see somebody, but in vain. When she came down to the valley, she ran till she reached Al- Marwa mountain. She ran to and fro (between the two mountains) many times. Then she said to herself, 'I'd better go and see the state of the child,' she went and found the child in a state of one on the point of dying. She could not endure to watch it dying and said (to herself), 'If I go and look, I may find somebody.' She went and ascended As-Šafā mountain and looked for a long while but could not find anybody. Thus she completed seven rounds (of running) between As-Šafā and Al-Marwa. Again she said (to herself), 'I'd better go back and see the state of the child.' But suddenly she heard a voice, and she said to that strange voice, 'Help us if you can offer any help.' Lo! It was Jibrīl (Gabriel) (who had made the voice). Jibrīl hit the earth with his heel like this (Ibn 'Abbās hit the earth with his heel to illustrate it), and so the water gushed out. Ismā'il's mother was astonished and started digging. (Abul-Qāsim) (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ) said, "If she had left the water, (flow naturally without her intervention), it would have been flowing like a (stream) on the surface of the earth." Ismā'il's mother started drinking from the water and her milk increased for her child. Afterwards some people of the tribe of Jurhum, while passing through the bottom of the valley, saw some birds, and that astonished them, and they said, 'Birds can only be found at a place where there is water.' They sent a messenger who searched the place and found the water, and returned to inform them about it. Then they all went to her and said, 'O Ishmael's mother! Will you allow us to be with you (or dwell with you)?' (And thus they stayed there.) Later on, her boy reached the age of puberty and married a lady from them. Then an idea occurred to Ibrāhīm (Abraham) which he disclosed to his wife (Sārah), 'I want to call on my dependents I left (at Makkah).’ When he went there, he greeted (Ismā’il’s wife) and said, ‘Where is Ismā’il?’ She replied, ‘He has gone out hunting.’ Ibrāhīm (Abraham) said (to her), ‘When he comes, tell him to change the threshold of his gate.’ When he came, she told him the same whereupon Ismā’il said to her, ‘You are the threshold, so go to your family (i.e., you are divorced).’ Again Ibrāhīm (Abraham) thought of visiting his dependents whom he had left (at Makkah), and he told his wife (Sārah) of his intentions. Ibrāhīm (Abraham) came to Ismā’il’s house and asked, ‘Where is Ismā’il?’ Ismā’il’s wife replied, ‘He has gone out hunting,’ and added, ‘Will you stay (for some time) and have something to eat and drink?’ Ibrāhīm (Abraham) asked, ‘What is your food and what is your drink?’ She replied, ‘Our food is meat and our drink is water.’ He said, ‘O Allāh! Give Your Blessings in their food and in their drink.’ Abul-Qāsim (i.e., Prophet ﷺ) said, “Because of Ibrāhīm’s invocation there are blessings (in Makkah).” Once more Ibrāhīm (Abraham) thought of visiting his family he had left (at Makkah), so he told his wife (Sārah) of his decision. He went and found Ismā’il behind the Zamzam well, mending his arrows. He said, “O Ismā’il, Your Lord has ordered me to build a house for Him.” Ismā’il said, “Obey (the order of) your Lord.” Ibrāhīm (Abraham) said, “Allāh has also ordered me that you should help me therein.” Ishmael said, “Then I will do.” So, both of them rose and Ibrāhīm started building (the Ka’bah) while Ismā’il went on handing him the stones, and both of them were saying, “Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knower.” (V.2:127). When the building became high and the old man (i.e., Ibrāhīm) could no longer lift the stones (to such a high position), he stood over the stone of Al-Maqām(1) and Ismā'īl carried on handing him the stones, and both of them were saying, 'Our Lord!

Even if I took an oath, you would not believe me, and if I put forward an excuse, you would not excuse me. My example and your example is just like that example of Ya'qūb (Jacob) and his sons. 'It is Allāh (Alone) Whose Help can be sought against that (lie) which you describe.'" (V.12:18) "The Prophet ﷺ left and then Allāh revealed the Verses (concerning the matter), and on that 'Aishah said, 'Thanks to Allāh (only) and not to anybody else.'"

They were definite that their nations treated them as liars and it was not a matter of suspecting.” ‘Aishah said, “O ‘Uraiyya (i.e., ‘Urwa)! No doubt, they were quite sure about it.” I said, “May the Verse be read in such a way as to mean that the Messengers thought that Allāh did not help them?”(1) ‘Aishah said, “Allāh forbid (impossible)! The Messengers did not suspect their Lord of such a thing. But this Verse is concerned with the Messengers’ followers who had faith in their Lord and believed in their Messengers, and their period of trials was long and Allāh’s Help was delayed till the Messengers gave up hope for the conversion of the disbelievers amongst their nation, and the Messengers thought that their followers treated them as liars, thereupon Allāh’s Help came to them.” [See Vol. 6, Hadīth No. 4695]

He said, "Yes, I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, 'While Mūsā was sitting in the company of some Isrāēlites, a man came and asked (him): Do you know anyone who is more learned than you? Mūsā replied: No. So, Allāh sent the Divine Revelation to Mūsā: 'Yes, Our slave, Khiḏr (is more learned than you).’ Mūsā asked how to meet him (i.e., Khidr). So, the fish was made as a sign for him, and he was told that when the fish was lost, he should return and there he would meet him. So, Mūsā went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea. The boy-servant of Mūsā said to him: Do you know that when we were sitting by the side of the rock, I forgot the fish, and it was only Satan who made me forget to tell (you) about it. Mūsā said: That was what we were seeking after. And both of them returned, following their footmarks and found Khidr; and what happened further to them, is mentioned in Allāh’s Book (the Qur’ān).’

3401. Narrated Sa’īd bin Jubair: I said to Ibn ‘Abbās, “Nauf Al-Bikālī claims that Mūsā, the companion of Al-Khidr was not Mūsā (the Prophet) of the Children of Isrāel, but some other Mūsā.” Ibn ‘Abbās said, “Allāh’s enemy (i.e., Nauf) has told a lie. Ubaī bin Ka’b told us that the Prophet ﷺ said, ‘Once Mūsā stood up and addressed Bani Isrāel. He was asked who was the most learned man amongst the people. He said, ‘I.’ Allāh admonished him as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him (Allāh). So, Allāh said to him, ‘Yes, at the junction of the two seas there is a slave of Mine who is more learned than you.’ Mūsā said, ‘O my Lord! How can I meet him?’ Allāh said, ‘Take a fish and put it in a basket and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish.' Mūsā took a fish and put it in a basket and proceeded along with his boy-servant, Yūsha' bin Nūn, till they reached the rock where they laid their heads (i.e., lay down). Moses slept, and the fish, moving out of the basket, fell into the sea. 'It took its way into the sea (straight) as in a tunnel. Allāh stopped the flow of water over the fish and it became like an arch (the Prophet ﷺ pointed out this arch with his hands). They travelled the rest of the night, and the next day. Mūsā said to his boy-servant, 'Bring us our early meal; indeed, we have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours.' Mūsā did not feel tired till he crossed that place which Allāh had ordered him to seek after. His boy-servant said to him, 'Do you know that when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish, and none but Satan made me forget to remember it. It took its course into the sea in a strange way?' So there was a tunnel for the fish and for them (Mūsā and his servant) there was astonishment. Mūsā said, 'That is what we have been seeking.' So, both of them went back retracing their footsteps till they reached the rock. There they saw a man lying covered with a garment. Mūsā greeted him and he replied saying, "Is there such a greeting in your land?" Mūsā said, 'I am Mūsā.' The man asked, 'Mūsā of Bānī Isrāēl?' Mūsā said, 'Yes, I have come to you so that you may teach me something of that knowledge which you have been taught (by Allāh).' He said, 'O Mūsā! I have some of the knowledge of Allāh, which Allāh has taught me, and which you do not know, while you have some of the knowledge of Allāh which Allāh has taught you and which I do not know.' Mūsā asked, 'May I follow you?' He said, 'But you will not be able to remain patient with me, for how can you be patient about things which you know not?' (Mūsā said, 'You will find me, if Allāh will, truly patient, and I will not disobey you in aught.') So, both of them set out walking along the seashore, a ship passed by them and they asked the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized Al-Khīdr and so they took them on board without fare. When they were on board the ship, a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice into the sea. Al-Khīdr said to Mūsā, 'O Mūsā! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allāh's Knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak.' Then suddenly Al-Khīdr took an adze and plucked a plank, and Mūsā did not notice it till he had plucked a plank with the adze. Mūsā said to him, 'What have you done? They took us on board charging us nothing; yet you have intentionally made a hole in their ship so as to drown its passengers. Verily, you have done a dreadful thing.' Al-Khīdr replied, 'Did I not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me?' Mūsā replied, 'Do not blame me for what I have forgotten, and do not be hard upon me for my affair (with you).' So, the first excuse of Mūsā was that he had forgotten. When they had left the sea, they passed by a boy playing with other boys. Al-Khīdr took hold of the boy's head and plucked it with his hand like this. (Sufyān, the subnarrator, pointed with his fingertips as if he was plucking some fruit.) Mūsā said to him, 'Have you killed an innocent person who has not killed any person? You have really done an horrible thing.' Al-Khīdr said, 'Did I not tell you that you would not be able to have patience with me?' Mūsā said, 'If I ask you about anything after this, keep me not in your company. You have received an excuse from me.' Then both of them proceeded till they came to some people of a town, and they asked its inhabitants for food but they refused to entertain them as guests. Then they saw therein a wall which was just going to collapse (and Al-Khiḍr repaired it just by touching it with his hands). (Sufyān, the subnarrator, pointed with his hands, illustrating how Al-Khiḍr passed his hands over the wall upwards.) Mūsā said, 'These are the people whom we have called on, but they neither gave us food, nor entertained us as guests, yet you have repaired their wall. If you had wished, you could have taken wages for it.' Al-Khiḍr said, 'This is the parting between you and me, and I shall tell you the explanation of those things on which you could not remain patient.' The Prophet ﷺ added, "We wished that Mūsā could have remained patient by virtue of which Allāh might have told us more about their story." (Sufyān, the subnarrator, said that the Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allāh bestow His Mercy on Mūsā! If he had remained patient, we would have been told further more about their case.")

3404. Narrated Abū Hurairah: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ (Prophet) Mūsā (Moses) was a shy person and used to cover his body completely because of his extensive shyness. One of the people of Isrāēl annoyed him by saying, 'He covers his body in this way only because of some defect in his skin, either leprosy or scrotal hernia, or he has some other defect.' Allāh wished to clear Mūsā of what they said about him, so one day while Mūsā was in seclusion, he took off his clothes and put them on a stone and started taking a bath. When he had finished the bath, he moved towards his clothes so as to take them, but the stone took his clothes and fled; Mūsā picked up his stick and ran after the stone saying, 'O stone! Give me my garment!' Till he reached a group of Bani Isrāēl who saw him naked then, and found him the best of what Allāh had created, and Allāh cleared him of what they had accused him of. The stone stopped there and Mūsā took and put his garment on and started hitting the stone with his stick. By Allāh, the stone still has some traces of the hitting, three, four or five marks. This was what Allāh said in His Statement: 'O you who believe! Be not like those who annoyed Mūsā, but Allāh cleared him of that which they alleged, and he was honourable before Allāh.' (V.33:69)

Allāh (restored his eye and) said, "Return to him and tell him to put his hand on the back of an ox and for every hair that will come under it, he will be granted one year of life." Mūsā said, "O Lord! What will happen after that?" Allāh replied, "Then death." Mūsā said, "Let it come now." Mūsā then requested Allāh to let him die close to the Sacred Land so much so that he would be at a distance of a stone's throw from it."

Narrated Abū Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Sulaimān (Solomon) the son of Dāwūd (David) said, 'Tonight I will sleep with seventy ladies, each of whom will conceive a child who will be a knight fighting for Allāh's Cause. His companion said to him (say): 'If Allāh will.' But Sulaimān did not say so; therefore none of those women got pregnant except one, who gave birth to a half child.'" The Prophet ﷺ further said, "If the Prophet Sulaimān had said it (i.e., 'If Allāh will') he would have begotten children who would have fought in Allāh's Cause." [Shu'aib and Ibn Abī Az-Zinād said, "Ninety (women) is more correct (than seventy)."]

So, both of them went to Sulaimān (Solomon) the son of Dāwūd (David) عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ and informed him (of the case). He said, 'Bring me a knife so as to cut the child into two pieces and distribute it between them.' The younger lady said, 'May Allāh be Merciful to you! Don't do that, for it is her (i.e., the other lady's) child.' So, he gave the child to the younger lady."

3436. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, “None spoke in cradle but three: (The first was) Isā (Jesus), (the second was:) There was a man from Bani Isrāel called Juraj. While he was offering prayer, his mother came and called him. He said (to himself), ‘Shall I answer her or keep on offering prayer (He went on offering prayer and did not answer her). His mother said, ‘O Allāh! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes.’ So, while he was in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So, she went to a shepherd and presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her and then later on she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablution and offered prayer and then came to the child and said, 'O child! Who is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.' (After hearing this) the people said, 'We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,' but he said, 'No, of nothing but mud.' (The third was the hero of the following story:) A lady from Banī Isrāēl was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, 'O Allāh! Make my child like him.' On that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, 'O Allāh! Do not make me like him.' The child then started sucking her breast again. [Abū Hurairah further said, "As if I were now looking at the Prophet ﷺ sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.)"] (The Prophet ﷺ continued), "After a while they (some people) passed by, with a lady-slave and she (i.e., the child's mother) said, 'O Allāh! Do not make my child like this (slave-girl)!' On that the child left her breast and said, 'O Allāh! Make me like her.' When she asked why, the child replied, 'The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave-girl is falsely accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse'."

Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allāh [in Ṣalāt (prayers)] will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it.” Abū Hurairah added: “If you wish, you can recite (this Verse of the Qur’ān) :- ‘And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him (i.e., Īsā, son of Maryam, as only a Messenger of Allāh and a human being) before his [Īsā عليه السلام or a Jew’s or a Christian’s] death; (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection he (Īsā عليه السلام) will be a witness against them.’” (V.4:159) (See Faṭḥ Al-Bārī) [According to the quotation of Kushmaihani there is “Al-Jizya” instead of Al-Ḥarb”].

3452. Hudhaifa further said, "I also heard him saying, 'Once there was a man on his deathbed, who, losing every hope of surviving said to his family: When I die, gather for me a large heap of wood and make a fire (to burn me). When the fire eats my meat and reaches my bones, and when the bones have burnt, take and crush them into powder and wait for a windy day to throw it (i.e., the powder) over the sea'. They did so, but Allāh collected his particles and asked him: 'Why did you do so?' He replied: 'For fear of You'. So Allāh forgave him." Uqba bin 'Amr said, "I heard him saying that the Isrāēlī used to dig the grave of the dead (to steal their shrouds)."

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Your period (i.e., the Muslims’ period) in comparison to the periods of the previous nations, is like the period between the Ṣalāt-ul-‘Aṣr (‘Aṣr prayer) and sunset. And your example in comparison to the Jews and the Christians is like the example of a person who employed some labourers and asked them, 'Who will work for me till midday for one Qirāt each?' The Jews worked for half a day for one Qirāt each. The person asked, 'Who will do the work for me from midday to the time of the Salāt-ul-'Aṣr for one Qirāt each?' The Christians worked from midday till the Salāt-ul-'Aṣr for one Qirāt. Then the person asked, 'Who will do the work for me from the Salāt-ul-'Aṣr till sunset for two Qirāt each?' The Prophet ﷺ added, "It is you (i.e., Muslims) who are doing the work from the Salāt-ul-'Aṣr till sunset, so you will have a double reward. The Jews and the Christians got angry and said, 'We have done more work but got less wages.' Allāh said, 'Have I been unjust to you as regards your rights?' They said, 'No.' So Allāh said, 'Then it is My Blessing which I bestow on whomever I like.'"

3464. Narrated Abū Hurairah that he heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, "Allāh willed to test three Israelites who were a leper, a blind man and a bald-headed man. So He sent them an angel who came to the leper and said, 'What thing do you like most?' He replied, 'Good colour and good skin, for the people have a strong aversion to me.' The angel touched him and his illness was cured, and he was given a good colour and beautiful skin. The angel asked him, 'What kind of property do you like best?' He replied, 'Camels (or cows).' (The narrator is in doubt, for either the leper or the bald-headed man demanded camels and the other demanded cows.) So he (i.e the leper) was given a pregnant she-camel, and the angel said (to him), 'May Allāh bless you in it.' "The angel then went to the bald-headed man and said, 'What thing do you like most?' He said, 'I like good hair and wish to be cured of this disease, for the people feel repulsion for me.' The angel touched him and his illness was cured, and he was given good hair. The angel asked (him), 'What kind of property do you like best?' He replied, 'Cows.' The angel gave him a pregnant cow and said, 'May Allāh bless you in it.' The angel went to the blind man and asked, 'What thing do you like best?' He said, '(I like) that Allāh may restore my eye-sight to me so that I may see the people.' The angel touched his eyes and Allāh gave him back his eye-sight. The angel asked him, 'What kind of property do you like best?' He replied, 'Sheep.' The angel gave him a pregnant ewe. Afterwards, all the three pregnant animals gave birth to young ones, and multiplied and brought forth so much that one of the (three) men had a herd of camels filling a valley, and one had a herd of cows filling a valley, and one had a flock of sheep filling a valley. Then the angel, disguised in the shape and appearance of a leper, went to the leper and said, 'I am a poor man, who has lost all means of livelihood while on a journey. So, none will satisfy my need except Allāh and then you. In the Name of Him Who has given you such nice colour and beautiful skin and so much property, I ask you to give me a camel so that I may reach my destination'. The man replied, 'I have many obligations (so I cannot give you)'. The angel said, 'I think I know you; were you not a leper to whom the people had a strong aversion? Werent you a poor man, and then Allāh gave you (all this property)?' He replied, '(This is all wrong), I got this property through inheritance from my forefathers'. The angel said, 'If you are telling a lie, then let Allāh make you as you were before.' "Then the angel, disguised in the shape and appearance of a bald man, went to the bald man and said to him the same as he told the first one, and he too answered the same as the first one did. The angel said, 'If you are telling a lie, then let Allāh make you as you were before.' "The angel, disguised in the shape of a blind man, went to the blind man and said, 'I am a poor man and a traveller, whose means of livelihood have been exhausted while on a journey. I have nobody to help me except Allāh, and after Him, you yourself. I ask you in the Name of Him Who has given you back your eyesight to give me a sheep, so that with its help, I may complete my journey'. The man said, 'No doubt, I was blind and Allāh gave me back my eye-sight; I was poor and Allāh made me rich; so take anything you wish from my property. By Allāh, I will not stop you for taking anything (you need) of my property which you may take for Allāh's sake.' The angel replied, 'Keep your property with you.

3465. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Once, three persons (from the previous nations) were travelling, and suddenly it started raining and they took shelter in a cave. The entrance of the cave got closed (suddenly by the falling of a huge rock) while they were inside. They said to each other, 'O you! Nothing can save you except the truth, so each of you should ask Allāh's Help by referring to such a deed as he thinks he did sincerely (i.e. just for gaining Allāh's Pleasure).' So one of them said, 'O Allāh! You know that I had a labourer who worked for me for one Faraq (i.e., three Ṣā') of rice, but he departed, leaving it (i.e., his wages). I sowed that Faraq of rice and with its yield I bought cows (for him). Later on when he came to me asking for his wages, I said (to him), 'Go to those cows and drive (take) all of them.' He said to me, 'But you have to pay me only a Faraq of rice.' I said to him, 'Go to those cows and take them, for they are the product of that Faraq (of rice).' So he drove (took) them. O Allāh! If You consider that I did that for fear of You, then please remove the rock.' The rock shifted a bit from the mouth of the cave. The second one said, 'O Allāh, You know that I had old parents whom I used to provide with the milk of my sheep every night. One night I was delayed and when I came, they had slept, while my wife and children were crying with hunger. I used not to let them (i.e., my family) drink unless my parents had drunk first. So I disliked to wake them up and also disliked that they should sleep without drinking it. I kept on waiting (for them to wake) till it dawned. O Allāh! If You consider that I did that for fear of You, then please remove the rock.' So, the rock shifted and they could see the sky through it. The (third) one said, 'O Allāh! You know that I had a cousin (i.e., my paternal uncle's daughter) who was most beloved to me and I sought to seduce her, but she refused, unless I paid her one hundred Dinār (i.e., gold pieces). So, I collected the amount and brought it to her, and she allowed me to sleep with her. But when I sat between her legs, she said: Be afraid of Allāh, and do not deflower me but legally. I got up and left the hundred Dīnār (for her). O Allāh! If You consider that I did that for fear of You then please remove the rock'. So, Allāh released them (removed the rock) and they came out (of the cave)." [This Hadīth indicates that one can only ask Allāh for help directly or through his performed good deeds. But to ask Allāh through dead or absent (Prophets, saints, spirits, holy men, angels etc.) is absolutely forbidden in Islām and it is a kind of "Shirk" — polytheism].

Don't let my child die till he becomes like this (rider)'. The child said, 'O Allāh! Don't make me like him,' and then returned to her breast (sucking it). (After a while) they (some people) passed by a lady who was being pulled and teased (by the people). The child's mother said, 'O Allāh! Do not make my child like her.' The child said, 'O Allāh! Make me like her.' Then he said, 'As for the rider, he is a disbeliever (an infidel), while the lady is accused of illegal sexual intercourse (falsely) and she says: Allāh is Sufficient for me (He knows the truth), and they also accuse her of theft (falsely) and she says: Allāh is Sufficient for me.'"

Then he set out asking (whether his repentance could be accepted or not). He came upon a monk and asked him if his repentance could be accepted. The monk replied in the negative and so the man killed him. He kept on asking till a man advised him to go to such and such village. (So he left for it) but death overtook him on the way. While dying, he turned his chest towards that village (where he had hoped his repentance would be accepted), and so the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment quarrelled amongst themselves regarding him. Allāh ordered the village (towards which he was going) to come closer to him, and ordered the village (whence he had come), to go far away, and then He ordered the angels to measure the distances between his body and the two villages. So, he was found one span closer to the village (he was going to). So he was forgiven."

3472. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "A man bought a piece of land from another man, and the buyer found an earthenware jar filled with [See Vol. 3, Hadīth No. 2324 and also Vol. 5, Hadīth No. 3663] gold in the land. The buyer said to the seller, 'Take your gold, as I have bought only the land from you, but I have not bought the gold from you.' The (former) owner of the land said, 'I have sold you the land with everything in it.' So both of them took their case before a man who asked, 'Do you have children?' One of them said, 'I have a boy.' The other said, 'I have a girl.' The man said, 'Marry the girl to the boy and spend the money on both of them and give the rest of it in charity.'

3473. Narrated Usāma bin Zaid رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Plague was a means of torture sent on a group of Isrāēlites (or on some people before you). So, if you hear of its spread in a land, don't approach it, and if plague should appear in a land where you are present, then don't leave that land in order to run away from it (i.e., plague)."

3473 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ المُنْكَدِرِ، وَعَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَسْأَلُ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، مَاذَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الطَّاعُونِ؟ فَقَالَ أُسَامَةُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الطَّاعُونُ رِجْسٌ أُرْسِلَ عَلَى طَائِفَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَوْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِهِ بِأَرْضٍ، فَلاَ تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا وَقَعَ بِأَرْضٍ، وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلاَ تَخْرُجُوا، فِرَارًا مِنْهُ» قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ: «لاَ يُخْرِجْكُمْ إِلَّا فِرَارًا مِنْهُ»

English translation

3474. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها the wife of the Prophet ﷺ: I asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about the plague. He told me that it was a punishment sent by Allāh on whom he wished, and Allāh made it a source of mercy for the believers, for if one at the time of the spread of a plague epidemic stays in his country patiently hoping for Allāh's Reward, and believing that nothing will befall him except what Allāh has written for him, he will get a reward similar to that of a martyr.

3474 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي الفُرَاتِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ، فَأَخْبَرَنِي «أَنَّهُ عَذَابٌ يَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ، لَيْسَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَقَعُ الطَّاعُونُ، فَيَمْكُثُ فِي بَلَدِهِ صَابِرًا مُحْتَسِبًا، يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُصِيبُهُ إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ، إِلَّا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ شَهِيدٍ»

English translation

3475. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها The people of Quraish worried about the lady from Banī Makhzūm who had committed theft. They asked, "Who will intercede for her with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ?" Some said, "No one dare to do so except Usāma bin Zaid, the beloved one to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." When Usāma spoke about that to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ; Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said (to him), "Do you try to intercede for somebody in a case connected with Allāh's prescribed punishments?" Then he got up and delivered a Khutba (religious talk) saying, "What destroyed the nations preceding you was that if a noble amongst them stole, they would forgive him, and if a poor person amongst them stole, they would inflict Allāh's punishment on him. By Allāh, if Fātima, the daughter of Muḥammad stole, I would cut off her hand."
