Narated By 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.'"

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."

Narated By Anas bin Malik : A Jew passed by Allah's Apostle and said, "As-Samu 'Alaika." Allah's Apostle said in

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.'"

Narated By '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."

Narated By '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 Qur'an, 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)."

-----------------------------------------
Narated By 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)

Joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed.'" (31.13)

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."

-----------------------------------------
Narated By N/A : 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 travelling 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 favour 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."

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."
