Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under your command. So whoever has a brother under his

believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah Alone
and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the
month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah
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?" Allah's Apostle 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 Allah.

(Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet
said, "That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet)
considered all that as a part of faith.

(suspicious) things and most of the people have no knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself from these
suspicious things saves his religion and his honor. And whoever indulges in these suspicious 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 Allah 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.

question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Alllah's Apostle had not heard it.
When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about the Hour
(Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then

addressed him, "O Son of 'Abdul Muttalib."
The Prophet said, "I am here to answer your questions." The man said to the Prophet, "I want to ask you something
and will be hard in questioning. So do not get angry." The Prophet said, "Ask whatever you want." The man said, "I
ask you by your Lord, and the Lord of those who were before you, has Allah sent you as an Apostle to all the
mankind?" The Prophet replied, "By Allah, yes." The man further said, "I ask you by Allah. Has Allah ordered you to
offer five prayers in a day and night (24 hours).? He replied, "By Allah, Yes." The man further said, "I ask you by
Allah! Has Allah ordered you to observe fasts during this month of the year (i.e. Ramadan)?" He replied, "By Allah,
Yes." The man further said, "I ask you by Allah. Has Allah ordered you to take Zakat (obligatory charity) from our rich
people and distribute it amongst our poor people?" The Prophet replied, "By Allah, yes." Thereupon that man said, "I
have believed in all that with which you have been sent, and I have been sent by my people as a messenger, and I

that he might give it another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." He said,
"Verily! Your blood, property and honor are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of

when the fish was lost, he should return (to the place where he had lost it) and there he would meet him (Al-Khadir).
So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea. The servant-boy of Moses said to him: Do you
remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish, none but Satan made me forget to
remember it. On that Moses said: 'That is what we have been seeking? (18.64) So they went back retracing their

eclipse) till I became (nearly) unconscious and later on I poured water on my head. After the prayer, the Prophet
praised and glorified Allah and then said,
"Just now at this place I have seen what I have never seen before, including Paradise and Hell. No doubt it has been
inspired to me that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Masiah-ad-Dajjal or
nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure which expression Asma' used). You will be asked, 'What do you know
about this man (the Prophet Muhammad)?' Then the faithful believer (or Asma' said a similar word) will reply, 'He is
Muhammad Allah's Apostle who had come to us with clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted his
teachings and followed him. And he is Muhammad.' And he will repeat it thrice. Then the angels will say to him,
'Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you were a faithful believer.' On the other hand, a hypocrite or a

and his cheeks or his Face became red and he said, "You have no concern with it as it has its water container, and

Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart "None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah."
And 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz wrote to Abu Bakr bin Hazm, "Look for the knowledge of Hadith and get it written, as I am

an expiation for that sin. And if one indulges in any of them, and Allah conceals his sin, it is up to Him to forgive or

the reason for it. He replied, "I abused a person by calling his mother with bad names." The Prophet said to me, 'O
Abu Dhar! Did you abuse him by calling his mother with bad names You still have some characteristics of ignorance.
Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put them under your command. So whoever has a brother under his
command should feed him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears. Do not ask them (slaves) to do things
beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so, then help them.' "
Hadith 1:30
Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin Qais:
While I was going to help this man ('Ali Ibn Abi Talib), Abu Bakra met me and asked, "Where are you going?" I
replied, "I am going to help that person." He said, "Go back for I have heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'When two
Muslims fight (meet) each other with their swords, both the murderer as well as the murdered will go to the Hell-fire.' I
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! It is all right for the murderer but what about the murdered one?' Allah's Apostle replied, "He
surely had the intention to kill his companion."
Hadith 1:33

1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.
4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner."

except belief in Allah and His Apostles, will be recompensed by Allah 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). Had I not found it difficult for my followers, then I
would not remain behind any sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then
made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His cause."

deed (act of Worship) in the sight of Allah is that which is done regularly."

religion For you, completed My favor upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (5:3) 'Umar

more (praying)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but if you want to offer the Nawafil prayers (you can)." Allah's Apostle
further said to him: "You have to observe fasts during the month of Ramad, an." The man asked, "Is there any more
fasting?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but if you want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)" Then Allah's Apostle
further said to him, "You have to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)." The man asked, "Is there any thing other than
the Zakat for me to pay?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, unless you want to give alms of your own." And then that man
retreated saying, "By Allah! I will neither do less nor more than this." Allah's Apostle said, "If what he said is true,
then he will be successful (i.e. he will be granted Paradise)."
Hadith 1:47

One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked, "What
is faith?" Allah's Apostle replied, 'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to
believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah Alone
and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the
month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah
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?" Allah's Apostle 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 Allah.
The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man
(Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet
said, "That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet)
considered all that as a part of faith.
Hadith 1:49
Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Both legal and illegal things are evident but in between them there are doubtful
(suspicious) things and most of the people have no knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself from these
suspicious things saves his religion and his honor. And whoever indulges in these suspicious 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 Allah 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.
Hadith 1:52

When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about the Hour
(Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then
wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet said, "When the power or
authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"

addressed him, "O Son of 'Abdul Muttalib."
The Prophet said, "I am here to answer your questions." The man said to the Prophet, "I want to ask you something
and will be hard in questioning. So do not get angry." The Prophet said, "Ask whatever you want." The man said, "I
ask you by your Lord, and the Lord of those who were before you, has Allah sent you as an Apostle to all the
mankind?" The Prophet replied, "By Allah, yes." The man further said, "I ask you by Allah. Has Allah ordered you to
offer five prayers in a day and night (24 hours).? He replied, "By Allah, Yes." The man further said, "I ask you by
Allah! Has Allah ordered you to observe fasts during this month of the year (i.e. Ramadan)?" He replied, "By Allah,
Yes." The man further said, "I ask you by Allah. Has Allah ordered you to take Zakat (obligatory charity) from our rich
people and distribute it amongst our poor people?" The Prophet replied, "By Allah, yes." Thereupon that man said, "I
have believed in all that with which you have been sent, and I have been sent by my people as a messenger, and I
am Dimam bin Tha'laba from the brothers of Bani Sa'd bin Bakr."

the animals of sacrifice)" We replied, "Yes." He further asked, "Which month is this?" We again kept quiet, thinking
that he might give it another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." He said,
"Verily! Your blood, property and honor are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of

the company of some Israelites, a man came and asked him. "Do you know anyone who is more learned than you?
Moses replied: "No." So Allah sent the Divine Inspiration to Moses: 'Yes, Our slave Khadir (is more learned than
you.)' Moses asked (Allah) how to meet him (Khadir). So Allah made the fish as a sign for him and he was told that
when the fish was lost, he should return (to the place where he had lost it) and there he would meet him (Al-Khadir).
So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea. The servant-boy of Moses said to him: Do you
remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish, none but Satan made me forget to
remember it. On that Moses said: 'That is what we have been seeking? (18.64) So they went back retracing their
foot-steps, and found Khadir. (And) what happened further to them is narrated in the Holy Qur'an by Allah. (18.54

eclipse) till I became (nearly) unconscious and later on I poured water on my head. After the prayer, the Prophet
praised and glorified Allah and then said,
"Just now at this place I have seen what I have never seen before, including Paradise and Hell. No doubt it has been
inspired to me that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Masiah-ad-Dajjal or
nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure which expression Asma' used). You will be asked, 'What do you know
about this man (the Prophet Muhammad)?' Then the faithful believer (or Asma' said a similar word) will reply, 'He is
Muhammad Allah's Apostle who had come to us with clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted his
teachings and followed him. And he is Muhammad.' And he will repeat it thrice. Then the angels will say to him,
'Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you were a faithful believer.' On the other hand, a hypocrite or a
doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said it.' (the same). "

"Neither I knew that you have suckled (nursed) me nor did you tell me." Then he rode over to see Allah's Apostle at
Medina, and asked him about it. Allah's Apostle said, "How can you keep her as a wife when it has been said (that
she is your foster-sister)?" Then Uqba divorced her, and she married another man.

but give it to its owner if he comes." Then the person asked about the lost camel. On that, the Prophet got angry
and his cheeks or his Face became red and he said, "You have no concern with it as it has its water container, and
its feet and it will reach water, and eat (the leaves) of trees till its owner finds it." The man then asked about the lost

Hadith 1:98
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said: "O Allah's Apostle! Who will be the luckiest person, who will gain your intercession on the Day of
Resurrection?" Allah's Apostle said: O Abu Huraira! "I have thought that none will ask me about it before you as I
know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of
Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart "None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah."
And 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz wrote to Abu Bakr bin Hazm, "Look for the knowledge of Hadith and get it written, as I am
afraid that religious knowledge will vanish and the religious learned men will pass away (die). Do not accept anything
save the Hadiths of the Prophet. Circulate knowledge and teach the ignorant, for knowledge does not vanish except
when it is kept secretly (to oneself)."
Hadith 1:100
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al' As:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the
people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when none of the (religious learned men)
remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without
knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray."
