Narated By Al-Harith bin Suwaid : 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud related to us two narrations: One from the Prophet and the
other from himself, saying: A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain which, he is afraid, may
fall on him; whereas the wicked person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives them
away like this." Abu Shihab (the sub-narrator) moved his hand over his nose in illustration. (Ibn Mas'ud added):
Allah's Apostle said, "Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave than a man who encamps at a place
where his life is jeopardized, but he has his riding beast carrying his food and water. He then rests his head and
sleeps for a short while and wakes to find his riding beast gone. (He starts looking for it) and suffers from severe
heat and thirst or what Allah wished (him to suffer from). He then says, 'I will go back to my place.' He returns and
sleeps again, and then (getting up), he raises his head to find his riding beast standing beside him."

wa aljatu zahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika, lamalja'a wa la manja mink a ill a ilaika. Amantu bikitabi
kalladhi anzalta wa bi nabiyyikal-ladhi arsalta'. If you should die then (after reciting this) you will die on the religion
of Islam (i.e., as a Muslim); so let these words be the last you say (before going to bed)" While I was memorizing it,
I said, "Wa birasiulikal-ladhi arsalta (in Your Apostle whom You have sent).' The Prophet said, "No, but say: Wa
binabiyyi-kalladhi arsalta (in Your Prophet whom You have sent)."

Narated By Ibn 'Abbas : One night I slept at the house of Maimuna. The Prophet woke up, answered the call of
nature, washed his face and hands, and then slept. He got up (late at night), went to a water skin, opened the
mouth thereof and performed ablution not using much water, yet he washed all the parts properly and then
offered the prayer. I got up and straightened my back in order that the Prophet might not feel that I was watching
him, and then I performed the ablution, and when he got up to offer the prayer, stood on his left. He caught hold
of my ear and brought me over to his right side. He offered thirteen Rak'at in all and then lay down and slept till he
started blowing out his breath as he used to do when he slept. In the meantime Bilal informed the Prophet of the
approaching time for the (Fajr) prayer, and the Prophet offered the Fajr (Morning) prayer without performing new
ablution. He used to say in his invocation, Allaihumma ij'al fi qalbi nuran wa fi basari nuran, wa fi sam'i nuran,
wa'an yamini nuran, wa'an yasari nuran, wa fawqi nuran, wa tahti nuran, wa amami nuran, wa khalfi nuran, waj'al li
nuran." Kuraib (a sub narrator) said, "I have forgotten seven other words, (which the Prophet mentioned in this
invocation). I met a man from the offspring of Al-'Abbas and he narrated those seven things to me, mentioning,
'(Let there be light in) my nerves, my flesh, my blood, my hair and my body,' and he also mentioned two other
things."

the Prophet for servant, but she did not find him (at home) and had to inform 'Aisha of her need. When he came,
'Aisha informed him about it. Ali added: The Prophet came to us when we had gone to our beds. When I was
going to get up, he said, "'Stay in your places," and sat between us, till I felt the coolness of the feet on my chest.
The Prophet then said, "Shall I not tell you of a thing which is better for you than a servant? When you (both) go
to your beds, say 'Allahu Akbar' thirty-four times, and 'Subhan Allah' thirty-three times, 'Alhamdu 'illah' thirty-three
times, for that is better for you than a servant." Ibn Sirin said, "Subhan Allah' (is to be said for) thirty-four times."

'At-tah, iyyatu-lillahi,' up to 'As-Salihin,' (All the compliments are for Allah... righteous people) for when he recites
this, then he says his Salam to all the righteous people present in the heavens and on the earth. Then he should
say, 'I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and His
Apostle,' and then he can select whatever he likes to celebrate (Allah's) Praises."

charity, while we have no wealth (to spend likewise)." He said, "Shall I not tell you a thing, by doing which, you will
catch up with those who are ahead of you and supersede those who will come after you; and nobody will be able
to do such a good deed as you do except the one who does the same (deed as you do). That deed is to recite
'Subhan Allah ten times, and 'Al-Hamdulillah ten times, and 'AllahuAkbar' ten times after every prayer."

them, saying, "By Allah! Had it not been for Allah, we would not have been guided." 'Amir also said other poetic
verses which I do not remember. Allah's Apostle said, "Who is this (camel) driver?" The people said, "He is 'Amir
bin Al-Akwa'," He said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him." A man from the People said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Would that you let us enjoy his company longer." When the people (Muslims) lined up, the battle started, and
'Amir was struck with his own sword (by chance) by himself and died. In the evening, the people made a large
number of fires (for cooking meals). Allah's Apostle said, "What is this fire? What are you making the fire for?"
They said, "For cooking the meat of donkeys." He said, "Throw away what is in the pots and break the pots!" A
man said, "O Allah's Prophet! May we throw away what is in them and wash them?" He said, "Never mind, you may
do so." (See Hadith No. 509, Vol. 5).

man who can't sit firm on horses." So he stroked my chest (with his hand) and said, "O Allah! Make him firm and
make him a guiding and well-guided man." So I went out with fifty (men) from my tribe of Ahrnas. (The
sub-narrator, Sufyan, quoting Jarir, perhaps said, "I went out with a group of men from my nation.") and came to
Dhi-al-Khalasa and burnt it, and then came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have not come to you till
I left it like a camel with a skin disease." The Prophet then invoked good upon Ahmas and their cavalry (fighters).

this Qur'an. If you come to some people who are engaged in a talk, don't start interrupting their talk by preaching,
lest you should cause them to be bored. You should rather keep quiet, and if they ask you, then preach to them
at the time when they are eager to hear what you say. And avoid the use of rhymed prose in invocation for I
noticed that Allah's Apostle and his companions always avoided it."

Narated By Anas : Once the people started asking Allah's Apostle questions, and they asked so many questions
that he became angry and ascended the pulpit and said, "I will answer whatever questions you may ask me
today." I looked right and left and saw everyone covering his face with his garment and weeping. Behold ! There
was a man who, on quarrelling with the people, used to be called as a son of a person other than his father. He
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is my father?" The Prophet replied, "Your father is Hudhaifa." And then 'Umar got up
and said, "We accept Allah as our Lord, and Islam as (our) religion, and Muhammad as (our) Apostle; and we
seek refuge with Allah from the afflictions." Allah's Apostle said, " I have never seen a day like today in its good
and its evil for Paradise and the Hell Fire were displayed in front of me, till I saw them just beyond this wall."

Narated By Anas bin Malik : The Prophet said to Abu Talha, "Choose one of your boys to serve me." So Abu
Talha took me (to serve the Prophet) by giving me a ride behind him (on his camel). So I used to serve Allah's
Apostle whenever he stayed somewhere. I used to hear him saying, "O Allah! I seek refuge with you (Allah) from
(worries) care and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt
and from being overpowered by other men." I kept on serving him till he returned from (the battle of) Khaibar. He
then brought Safiya, the daughter of Huyay whom he had got (from the booty). I saw him making a kind of cushion
with a cloak or a garment for her. He then let her ride behind him. When we reached a place called As-Sahba', he
prepared (a special meal called) Hais, and asked me to invite the men who (came and) ate, and that was the
marriage banquet given on the consummation of his marriage to her. Then he proceeded till the mountain of
Uhud appeared, whereupon he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it." When he approached Medina, he
said, "O Allah! I make the land between its (i.e., Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary, as the prophet Abraham
made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (the people of Medina) in their Mudd and the Sa' (units of
measuring)."

Narated By 'Aisha : That Allah's Apostle was affected by magic, so much that he used to think that he had done
something which in fact, he did not do, and he invoked his Lord (for a remedy). Then (one day) he said, "O
'Aisha!) Do you know that Allah has advised me as to the problem I consulted Him about?" 'Aisha said, "O Allah's
Apostle! What's that?" He said, "Two men came to me and one of them sat at my head and the other at my feet,
and one of them asked his companion, 'What is wrong with this man?' The latter replied, 'He is under the effect of
magic.' The former asked, 'Who has worked magic on him?' The latter replied, 'Labid bin Al-A'sam.' The former
asked, 'With what did he work the magic?' The latter replied, 'With a comb and the hair, which are stuck to the
comb, and the skin of pollen of a date-palm tree.' The former asked, 'Where is that?' The latter replied, 'It is in
Dharwan.' Dharwan was a well in the dwelling place of the (tribe of) Bani Zuraiq. Allah's Apostle went to that well
and returned to 'Aisha, saying, 'By Allah, the water (of the well) was as red as the infusion of Hinna, (1) and the
date-palm trees look like the heads of devils.' 'Aisha added, Allah's Apostle came to me and informed me about
the well. I asked the Prophet, 'O Allah's Apostle, why didn't you take out the skin of pollen?' He said, 'As for me,
Allah has cured me and I hated to draw the attention of the people to such evil (which they might learn and harm
others with).'"

Narrated Hisham's father: 'Aisha said, "Allah's Apostle was bewitched, so he invoked Allah repeatedly requesting
Him to cure him from that magic)." Hisham then narrated the above narration. (See Hadith No. 658, Vol. 7)

The angels reply, 'They say: Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Alham-du-lillah, Allah then says 'Did they see Me?'
The angels reply, 'No! By Allah, they didn't see You.'

Allah says, How it would have been if they saw Me?' The angels reply, 'If they saw You, they would worship You
more devoutly and celebrate Your Glory more deeply, and declare Your freedom from any resemblance to
anything more often.' Allah says (to the angels), 'What do they ask Me for?' The angels reply, 'They ask You for
Paradise.' Allah says (to the angels), 'Did they see it?' The angels say, 'No! By Allah, O Lord! They did not see it.'
Allah says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The angels say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater
covetousness for it and would seek It with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.' Allah says, 'From
what do they seek refuge?' The angels reply, 'They seek refuge from the (Hell) Fire.' Allah says, 'Did they see it?'

"O Abu Musa (or, O 'Abdullah)! Shall I tell you a sentence from the treasure of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"La haul a wala quwwata illa billah."

-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e., one hundred minus one, and whoever believes in
their meanings and acts accordingly, will enter Paradise; and Allah is Witr (one) and loves 'the Witr' (i.e., odd
numbers).


Volumn 008, Book 075, Hadith Number 420.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Shaqiq : While we were waiting for 'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud). Yazid bin Muawiya came. I said (to him),
"Will you sit down?" He said, "No, but I will go into the house (of Ibn Mas'ud) and let your companion (Ibn Mas'ud)
come out to you; and if he should not (come out), I will come out and sit (with you)." Then 'Abdullah came out,
holding the hand of Yazid, addressed us, saying, "I know that you are assembled here, but the reason that
prevents me from coming out to you, is that Allah's Apostle used to preach to us at intervals during the days, lest
we should become bored."
