Translation of Sahih Bukhari

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the mother of the faithful believers) Al-Harith bin Hisham asked
Allah's Apostle "O Allah's Apostle! How is the Divine Inspiration
revealed to you?" Allah's Apostle replied, "Sometimes it is
(revealed)
like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest
of
all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is
inspired. Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks
to
me and I grasp whatever he says." 'Aisha added: Verily I saw the
Prophet being inspired Divinely on a very cold day and noticed the
Sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over).

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the mother of the faithful believers) The commencement of the
Divine
Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of good dreams which

came true like bright day light, and then the love of seclusion was

bestowed upon him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira
where he used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for many days
before his desire to see his family. He used to take with him the
journey food for the stay and then come back to (his wife) Khadija
to
take his food like-wise again till suddenly the Truth descended
upon
him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and
asked
him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read."

The Prophet added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me
so
hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and
again
asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.'
Thereupon
he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not
bear
it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but
again
I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?'
Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then
released me and said, 'Read in the name of your Lord, who has
created
(all that exists) has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord
is
the Most Generous." (96.1, 96.2, 96.3) Then Allah's Apostle
returned
with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he
went
to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They
covered
him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything
that
had happened and said, "I fear that something may happen to me."
Khadija replied, "Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you.
You
keep good relations with your Kith and kin, help the poor and the
destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the deserving
calamity-afflicted ones."

Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin
Asad
bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during the PreIslamic Period became a
Christian
and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write
from
the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was
an
old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Waraqa, "Listen
to
the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew!

What have you seen?" Allah's Apostle described whatever he had
seen.
Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel
Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and
could
live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's
Apostle asked, "Will they drive me out?" Waraqa replied in the
affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something similar
to
what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should
remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would
support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the
Divine
Inspiration was also paused for a while.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari while talking about the
period
of pause in revelation reporting the speech of the Prophet "While I

was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky. I looked
up
and saw the same angel who had visited me at the cave of Hira'
sitting
on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and
came
back home and said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).' And then Allah
revealed
the following Holy Verses (of Quran):

'O you (i.e. Muhammad)! wrapped up in garments!' Arise and warn
(the
people against Allah's Punishment),... up to 'and desert the
idols.'
(74.1-5) After this the revelation started coming strongly,
frequently
and regularly."

Narrated Said bin Jubair:

Ibn 'Abbas in the explanation of the Statement of Allah. 'Move not
your tongue concerning (the Quran) to make haste therewith."
(75.16)
Said "Allah's Apostle used to bear the revelation with great
trouble
and used to move his lips (quickly) with the Inspiration." Ibn
'Abbas
moved his lips saying, "I am moving my lips in front of you as
Allah's
Apostle used to move his." Said moved his lips saying: "I am moving
my
lips, as I saw Ibn 'Abbas moving his." Ibn 'Abbas added, "So Allah
revealed 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to make
haste
therewith. It is for us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad)
the
ability to recite it (the Qur'an) (75.16-17) which means that Allah

will make him (the Prophet ) remember the portion of the Qur'an
which
was revealed at that time by heart and recite it. The Statement of
Allah: And 'When we have recited it to you (O Muhammad through
Gabriel) then you follow its (Qur'an) recital' (75.18) means
'listen
to it and be silent.' Then it is for Us (Allah) to make It clear to

you' (75.19) means 'Then it is (for Allah) to make you recite it
(and
its meaning will be clear by itself through your tongue).
Afterwards,
Allah's Apostle used to listen to Gabriel whenever he came and
after
his departure he used to recite it as Gabriel had recited it."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Apostle was the most generous of all the people, and he
used
to reach the peak in generosity in the month of Ramadan when
Gabriel
met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night of Ramadan to teach
him
the Qur'an. Allah's Apostle was the most generous person, even more

generous than the strong uncontrollable wind (in readiness and
haste
to do charitable deeds).

Narrated Anas:

I went along with the Prophet to the house of a young tailor of
his.
The tailor presented a dish of Tharid to the Prophet and resumed
his
work. The Prophet started picking the pieces of gourd and I too,
started picking them and putting it before him. Since then I have
always loved (to eat) gourd.

Narrated Qatada:

We used to visit Anas bin Malik while his baker was standing (and
baking). Anas would say, "Eat! I do not know that the Prophet had
ever
seen well-baked bread till he met Allah, nor had he ever seen a
roasted sheep with his own eyes."

Narrated 'Amr bin Umaiyay Ad-Damri:

I saw Allah's Apostle cutting part of the shoulder of mutton with a

knife. He ate of it and then was called for prayer whereupon he got
up
and put down the knife and offered the prayer without performing
new
ablution.

Narrated 'Abis:

I asked 'Aisha "Did the Prophet forbid eating the meat of
sacrifices
offered on 'Id-ul-Adha for more than three days" She said, "The
Prophet did not do this except in the year when the people were
hungry, so he wanted the rich to feed the poor. But later we used
to
store even a trotter of a sheep to eat it fifteen days later." She
was
asked, "What compelled you to do so?" She smiled and said, "The
family
of Muhammad did not eat to their satisfaction white bread with meat

soup for three successive days till he met Allah."

Narrated Jabir:

We used to carry the meat of the Hadis (sacrificed animals) to
Medina
during the life-time of the Prophet .

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said to Abu Talha, "Seek one of your boys to serve
me." Abu Talha mounted me behind him (on his riding animal) and
took
me (to the Prophet ). So I used to serve Allah's Apostle whenever
he
dismounted (to stay somewhere). I used to hear him saying very
often,
"O Allah! I seek refuge with You from, having worries sadness,
helplessness, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, from being heavily
in
debt and from being overpowered by other persons unjustly." I kept
on
serving till we -returned from the battle of Khaibar. The Prophet
then
brought Safiyya bint Huyai whom he had won from the war booty. I
saw
him folding up a gown or a garment for her to sit on behind him (on

his she-camel). When he reached As-Sahba', he prepared Hais and
placed
it on a dining sheet. Then he sent me to invite men, who (came and)

ate; and that was his and Safiyya's wedding banquet. Then the
Prophet
proceeded, and when he saw (noticed) the mountain of Uhud, he said,

"This mountain loves us, and we love it." When we approached
Medina,
he said, "O Allah! I make the area between its two mountains a
sanctuary as Abraham has made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless
their
Mudd and Sa (special kinds of measure)."

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila:

We were sitting in the company of Hudhaifa who asked for water and a

Magian brought him water. But when he placed the cup in his hand,
he
threw it at him and said, "Had I not forbidden him to do so more
than
once or twice?" He wanted to say, "I would not have done so,"
adding,
"but I heard the Prophet saying, "Do not wear silk or Dibaja, and
do
not drink in silver or golden vessels, and do not eat in plates of
such metals, for such things are for the unbelievers in this
worldly
life and for us in the Hereafter."

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari:

Allah's Apostle said, "The example of a Believer who recites the
Quran, is that of a citron which smells good and tastes good; And
the
example of a Believer who does not recite the Quran, is that of a
date
which has no smell but tastes sweet; and the example of a hypocrite

who recites the Quran, is that of an aromatic plant which smells
good
but tastes bitter; and the example of a hypocrite who does not
recite
the Quran, is that of a colocynth plant which has no smell and is
bitter in taste."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "The superiority of 'Aisha to other ladies is
like
the superiority of Tharid to other kinds of food."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Traveling is a kind of torture, as it prevents
one
from sleeping and eating! So when one has finished his job, he
should
return quickly to his family."

Narrated Qasim bin Muhammad:

Three traditions have been established because of Barira: 'Aisha
intended to buy her and set her free, but Barira's masters said,
"Her
wala' will be for us." 'Aisha mentioned that to Allah's Apostle who

said, "You could accept their condition if you wished, for the wala
is
for the one who manumits the slave." Barira was manumitted, then
she
was given the choice either to stay with her husband or leave him;
One
day Allah's Apostle entered 'Aisha's house while there was a
cooking
pot of food boiling on the fire. The Prophet asked for lunch, and
he
was presented with bread and some extra food from the home-made Udm

(e.g. soup). He asked, "Don't I see meat (being cooked)?" They
said,
"Yes, O Allah's Apostle! But it is the meat that has been given to
Barira in charity and she has given it to us as a present." He
said,
"For Barira it is alms, but for us it is a present."

Narrated 'Aisha:

Allah's Apostle used to love sweet edible things and honey.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I used to accompany Allah's Apostle to fill my stomach; and that
was
when I did not eat baked bread, nor wear silk. Neither a male nor a

female slave used to serve me, and I used to bind stones over my
belly
and ask somebody to recite a Quranic Verse for me though I knew it,
so
that he might take me to his house and feed me. Ja'far bin Abi
Talib
was very kind to the poor, and he used to take us and feed us with
what ever was available in his house, (and if nothing was
available),
he used to give us the empty (honey or butter) skin which we would
tear and lick whatever was in it.

Narrated Anas:

Allah's Apostle went to (the house of) his slave tailor, and he was

offered (a dish of) gourd of which he started eating. I have loved
to
eat gourd since I saw Allah's Apostle eating it.

Narrated Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari:

There was a man called Abu Shu'aib, and he had a slave who was a
butcher. He said (to his slave), "Prepare a meal to which I may
invite
Allah's Apostle along with four other men." So he invited Allah's
Apostle and four other men, but another man followed them whereupon

the Prophet said, "You have invited me as one of five guests, but
now
another man has followed us. If you wish you can admit him, and if
you
wish you can refuse him." On that the host said, "But I admit him."

Narrated Muhammad bin Isma'il: If guests are sitting at a dining
table, they do not have the right to carry food from other tables
to
theirs, but they can pass on food from their own table to each
other;
otherwise they should leave it.

Narrated Anas:

I was a young boy when I once was walking with Allah's Apostle .
Allah's Apostle entered the house of his slave tailor and the
latter
brought a dish filled with food covered with pieces of gourd.
Allah's
Apostle started picking and eating the gourd. When I saw that, I
started collecting and placing the gourd before him. Then the slave

returned to his work. Anas added: I have kept on loving gourd since
I
saw Allah's Apostle doing what he was doing.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

A tailor invited the Prophet to a meal which he had prepared, and I

went along with the Prophet . The tailor presented barley bread and

soup containing gourd and cured meat. I saw the Prophet picking the

pieces of gourd from around the dish, and since then I have kept on

liking gourd.

Narrated Anas:

I saw the Prophet being served with soup and containing gourd and
cured meat, and I saw him picking and eating the pieces of gourd.

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet did not do that (i.e., forbade the storage of the meat
of
sacrifices for three days) except (he did so) so that the rich
would
feed the poor. But later we used to keep even trotters to cook,
fifteen days later. The family of Muhammad did not eat wheat bread
with meat or soup to their satisfaction for three successive days.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

A tailor invited Allah's Apostle to a meal which he had prepared. I

went with Allah's Apostle to that meal, and the tailor served the
Prophet with barley bread and soup of gourd and cured meat. I saw
Allah's Apostle picking the pieces of gourd from around the dish,
and
since then I have kept on liking gourd.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Ja'far bin Abi Talib:

I saw Allah's Apostle eating fresh dates with snake cucumber.

Narrated Abu 'Uthman:

I was a guest of Abu Huraira for seven days. Abu Huraira, his wife
and
his slave used to get up and remain awake for one-third of the
night
by turns. Each would offer the night prayer and then awaken the
other.
I heard Abu Huraira saying, "Allah's Apostle distributed dates
among
his companions and my share was seven dates, one of which was a
Hashafa (a date which dried on the tree before it was fully ripe).

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet distributed dates among us, and my share was five
dates,
four of which were good, and one was a ,Hashafa, and I found the
Hashafa the hardest for my teeth.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

There was a Jew in Medina who used to lend me money up to the
season
of plucking dates. (Jabir had a piece of land which was on the way
to
Ruma). That year the land was not promising, so the payment of the
debt was delayed one year. The Jew came to me at the time of
plucking,
but gathered nothing from my land. I asked him to give me one year
respite, but he refused. This news reached the Prophet whereupon he

said to his companions, "Let us go and ask the Jew for respite for
Jabir." All of them came to me in my garden, and the Prophet
started
speaking to the Jew, but he Jew said, "O Abu Qasim! I will not
grant
him respite." When the Prophet saw the Jew's attitude, he stood up
and
walked all around the garden and came again and talked to the Jew,
but
the Jew refused his request. I got up and brought some ripe fresh
dates and put it in front of the Prophet. He ate and then said to
me,
"Where is your hut, O Jabir?" I informed him, and he said, "Spread
out
a bed for me in it." I spread out a bed, and he entered and slept.
When he woke up, I brought some dates to him again and he ate of it

and then got up and talked to the Jew again, but the Jew again
refused
his request. Then the Prophet got up for the second time amidst the

palm trees loaded with fresh dates, and said, "O Jabir! Pluck dates
to
repay your debt." The Jew remained with me while I was plucking the

dates, till I paid him all his right, yet there remained extra
quantity of dates. So I went out and proceeded till I reached the
Prophet and informed him of the good news, whereupon he said, "I
testify that I am Allah's Apostle."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar:

While we were sitting with the Prophet a spadix of palm tree was
brought to him. The Prophet said, "There is a tree among the trees
which is as blessed as a Muslim" I thought that it was the date
palm
tree and intended to say, "It is the date-palm tree, O Allah's
Apostle!" but I looked behind to see that I was the tenth and
youngest
of ten men present there, so I kept quiet' Then the Prophet said,
"It
is the datepalm tree."

Narrated Sad:

Allah's Apostle said, "He who eats seven 'Ajwa dates every morning,

will not be affected by poison or magic on the day he eats them."

Narrated Jabala bin Suhaim.

At the time of Ibn Az-Zubair, we were struck with famine, and he
provided us with dates for our food. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar used to
pass
by us while we were eating, and say, "Do not eat two dates together
at
a time, for the Prophet forbade the taking of two dates together at
a
time (in a gathering)." Ibn 'Umar used to add, "Unless one takes
the
permission of one's companions."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Ja'far:

I saw the Prophet eating fresh dates with snake cucumbers.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "There is a tree among the trees which is similar
to
a Muslim (in goodness), and that is the date palm tree."

I saw Allah's Apostle eating fresh dates with snake cucumbers.

Narrated Anas:

My mother, Um Sulaim, took a Mudd of barley grain, ground it and
made
porridge from it, and pressed (over it), a butter skin she had with

her. Then she sent me to the Prophet, and I reached him while he
was
sitting with his companions. I invited him, whereupon he said, "And

those who are with me?' I returned and said, "He says, 'And those
who
are with me?" Abu Talha went out to him and said, "O Allah's
Apostle!
It is just a meal prepared by Um Sulaim." The Prophet entered and
the
food was brought to him. He said, "Let ten persons enter upon me."
Those ten entered and ate their fill. Again he said, 'Let ten
(more)
enter upon me." Those ten entered and ate their fill. Then he said,

"Let ten (more) enter upon me." He called forty persons in all Then

Allah's Apostle ate and got up. I started looking (at the food) to
see
if it decreased or not.

away
from us (or should keep away from our mosque).'

Narrated Suwaid bin An Nu'man:

We went out with Allah's Apostle to Khaibar, and when we reached

then led us in the Maghrib prayer without performing ablution again

have
licked it, or had it licked by somebody else."

Narrated Said bin Al-Harith:

that he asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah about performing ablution after
taking a cooked meal. He replied, "It is not essential," and added,

"We never used to get such kind of food during the lifetime of the
Prophet except rarely; and if at all we got such a dish, we did not

have any handkerchiefs to wipe our hands with except the palms of
our
hands, our forearms and our feet. We would perform the prayer
thereafter with-out performing new ablution."

Narrated Abu Umama:

Whenever the dining sheet of the Prophet was taken away (i.e.,
whenever he finished his meal), he used to say: "Al-hamdu lillah
kathiran taiyiban mubarakan fihi ghaira makfiy wala muwada' wala
mustaghna'anhu Rabbuna."

Narrated Abu Umama:

Whenever the Prophet finished his meals (or when his dining sheet
was
taken away), he used to say. "Praise be to Allah Who has satisfied
our
needs and quenched our thirst. Your favor cannot by compensated or
denied." Once he said, upraise be to You, O our Lord! Your favor
cannot be compensated, nor can be left, nor can be dispensed with, O

our Lord!"

Narrated .Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "When your servant brings your food to you, if
you
do not ask him to join you, then at least ask him to take one or
two
handfuls, for he has suffered from its heat (while cooking it) and
has
taken pains to cook it nicely."

Narrated Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari:

There was an Ansari man nicknamed, Abu Shu'aib, who had a slave who

was a butcher. He came to the Prophet while he was sitting with his

companions and noticed the signs of hunger on the face of the
Prophet
. So he went to his butcher slave and said, "Prepare for me a meal
sufficient for five persons so that I may invite the Prophet along
with four other men." He had the meal prepared for him and invited
him. A (sixth) man followed them. The Prophet said, "O Abu Shu'aib!

Another man has followed us. If you wish, you may invite him; and
if
you wish, you may refuse him." Abu Shu'aib said, "No, I will admit
him."

and
supper is served, take your supper first "

Narrated Anas:

I know (about) the Hijab (the order of veiling of women) more than
anybody else. Ubai bin Ka'b used to ask me about it. Allah's
Apostle
became the bridegroom of Zainab bint Jahsh whom he married at
Medina.
After the sun had risen high in the sky, the Prophet invited the
people to a meal. Allah's Apostle remained sitting and some people
remained sitting with him after the other guests had left. Then
Allah's Apostle got up and went away, and I too, followed him till
he
reached the door of 'Aisha's room. Then he thought that the people
must have left the place by then, so he returned and I also
returned
with him. Behold, the people were still sitting at their places. So
he
went back again for the second time, and I went along with him too.

When we reached the door of 'Aisha's room, he returned and I also
returned with him to see that the people had left. Thereupon the
Prophet hung a curtain between me and him and the Verse regarding
the
order for (veiling of women) Hijab was revealed.

Narrated Abu Musa:

A son was born to me and I took him to the Prophet who named him
Ibrahim, did Tahnik for him with a date, invoked Allah to bless him

and returned him to me. (The narrator added: That was Abu Musa's
eldest son.)

Narrated 'Aisha:

A boy was brought to the Prophet to do Tahnik for him, but the boy
urinated on him, whereupon the Prophet had water poured on the
place
of urine.

Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr:

I conceived 'Abdullah bin AzZubair at Mecca and went out (of Mecca)

while I was about to give birth. I came to Medina and encamped at
Quba', and gave birth at Quba'. Then I brought the child to Allah's

Apostle and placed it (on his lap). He asked for a date, chewed it,

and put his saliva in the mouth of the child. So the first thing to

enter its stomach was the saliva of Allah's Apostle. Then he did
its
Tahnik with a date, and invoked Allah to bless him. It was the
first
child born in the Islamic era, therefore they (Muslims) were very
happy with its birth, for it had been said to them that the Jews
had
bewitched them, and so they would not produce any offspring.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Abu Talha had a child who was sick. Once, while Abu Talha was out,
the
child died. When Abu Talha returned home, he asked, "How does my
son
fare?" Um Salaim (his wife) replied, "He is quieter than he has
ever
been." Then she brought supper for him and he took his supper and
slept with her. When he had finished, she said (to him), "Bury the
child (as he's dead)." Next morning Abu Talha came to Allah's
Apostle
and told him about that. The Prophet said (to him), "Did you sleep
with your wife last night?" Abu Talha said, "Yes". The Prophet
said,
"O Allah! Bestow your blessing on them as regards that night of
theirs." Um Sulaim gave birth to a boy. Abu Talha told me to take
care
of the child till it was taken to the Prophet. Then Abu Talha took
the
child to the Prophet and Um Sulaim sent some dates along with the
child. The Prophet took the child (on his lap) and asked if there
was
something with him. The people replied, "Yes, a few dates." The
Prophet took a date, chewed it, took some of it out of his mouth,
put
it into the child's mouth and did Tahnik for him with that, and
named
him 'Abdullah.

Narrated Anas:

As above.

Narrated Salman bin 'Amir Ad-Dabbi:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "'Aqiqa is to be offered for a
(newly
born) boy, so slaughter (an animal) for him, and relieve him of his

suffering." (Note: It has been quoted in Fateh-AL-Bari that the
majority of the Religious Scholars agrees to the Hadith narrated in

Sahih At-TlRMlZY that the Prophet was asked about Aqiqa and he
ordered
2 sheep for a boy and one sheep for a girl and that is his
tradition
"SUNNA".)

Narrated Habib bin Ash-Shahid:

Ibn Sirin told me to ask Al-Hassan from whom he had heard the
narration of 'Aqiqa. I asked him and he said, "From Samura bin
Jundab."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Neither Fara' nor 'Atira (is permissible):"
Al-Fara' nor 'Atira (is permissible):" Al-Fara' was the first
offspring (of camels or sheep) which the pagans used to offer (as a

sacrifice) to their idols. And Al-'Atira was (a sheep which was to
be
slaughtered) during the month of Rajab.

Narrated Adi bin Hatim:

I asked the Prophet about the game killed by a Mi'rad (i.e. a
sharp-edged piece of wood or a piece of wood provided with a sharp
piece of iron used for hunting). He said, "If the game is killed
with
its sharp edge, eat of it, but if it is killed with its shaft, with
a
hit by its broad side then the game is (unlawful to eat) for it has

been beaten to death." I asked him about the game killed by a
trained
hound. He said, "If the hound catches the game for you, eat of it,
for
killing the game by the hound, is like its slaughtering. But if you

see with your hound or hounds another dog, and you are afraid that
it
might have shared in hunting the game with your hound and killed
it,
then you should not eat of it, because you have mentioned Allah's
name
on (sending) your hound only, but you have not mentioned it on some

other hound

Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:

I asked Allah's Apostle about the Mi'rad. He said, "If you hit the
game with its sharp edge, eat it, but if the Mi'rad hits the game
with
its shaft with a hit by its broad side do not eat it, for it has
been
beaten to death with a piece of wood. (i.e. unlawful)." I asked,
"If I
let loose my trained hound after a game?" He said, "If you let
loose
your trained hound after game, and mention the name of Allah, then
you
can eat." I said, "If the hound eats of the game?" He said "Then
you
should not eat of it, for the hound has hunted the game for itself
and
not for you." I said, "Some times I send my hound and then I find
some
other hound with it?" He said "Don't eat the game, as you have
mentioned the Name of Allah on your dog only and not on the other."

Narrated Adi bin Hatim:

I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We let loose our trained hounds after a

game?" He said, "Eat what they hunt for you." I said, "Even if they

killed (the game)?" He replied, 'Even if they killed (the game)." I

said, 'We also hit (the game) with the Mi'rad?" He said, "Eat of
the
animal which the Mi'rad kills by piercing its body, but do not eat
of
the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi'rad.''

Narrated Abu Tha'laba Al-Khushani:

I said, "O Allah's Prophet! We are living in a land ruled by the
people of the Scripture; Can we take our meals in their utensils?
In
that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow
and
with my hound that is not trained and with my trained hound. Then
what
is lawful for me to eat?" He said, "As for what you have mentioned
about the people of the Scripture, if you can get utensils other
than
theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than
theirs, wash their utensils and eat out of it. If you hunt an
animal
with your bow after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it. and if you
hunt something with your trained hound after mentioning Allah's
Name,
eat of it, and if you hunt something with your untrained hound (and

get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Maghaffal:

that he saw a man throwing stones with two fingers (at something)
and
said to him, "Do not throw stones, for Allah's Apostle has
forbidden
throwing stones, or e used to dislike it." 'Abdullah added:
Throwing
stones will neither hunt the game, nor kill (or hurt) an enemy, but
it
may break a tooth or gouge out an eye." Afterwards 'Abdullah once
again saw the man throwing stones. He said to him, "I tell you that

Allah's Apostle has forbidden or disliked the throwing the stones
(in
such a way), yet you are throwing stones! I shall not talk to you
for
such-and-such a period."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "Whoever keeps a (pet) dog which is neither a
watch
dog nor a hunting dog, will get a daily deduction of two Qirat from

his good deeds."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar:

I heard the Prophet saying, "If someone keeps a dog neither for
hunting, nor for guarding livestock, the reward (for his good
deeds)
will be reduced by two Qirats per day."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "If someone keeps a dog neither for guarding
livestock, nor for hunting, his good deeds will decrease (in
reward)
by two Qirats a day.'

Narrated Adi bin Hatim:

I asked Allah's Apostle. "We hunt with the help of these hounds."
He
said, "If you let loose your trained hounds after a game, and
mention
the name of Allah, then you can eat what the hounds catch for you,
even if they killed the game. But you should not eat of it if the
hound has eaten of it, for then it is likely that the hound has
caught
the game for itself. And if other hounds join your hound in hunting

the game, then do not eat of it."

Narrated Adi bin Hatim:

The Prophet said, "If you let loose your hound after a game and
mention Allah's Name on sending it, and the hound catches the game
and
kills it, then you can eat of it. But if the hound eats of it, then

you should not eat thereof, for the hound has caught it for itself.

And if along with your hound, join other hounds, and Allah's Name
was
not mentioned at the time of their sending, and they catch an
animal
and kill it, you should not ea: of it, for you will not know which
of
them has killed it. And if you have thrown an arrow at the game and

then find it (dead) two or three days later and, it bears no mark
other than the wound inflicted by your arrow, then you can eat of
it.
But if the game is found (dead) in water, then do not eat of it."
And
it has also been narrated by 'Adi bin Hatim that he asked the
Prophet
"If a hunter throws an arrow at the game and after tracing it for
two
or three days he finds it dead but still bearing his arrow, (can he

eat of it)?" The Prophet replied, "He can eat if he wishes."

Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:

I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I let loose my hound after a game and
mention Allah's Name on sending it." The Prophet said, "If you let
loose your hound after a game and you mention Allah's Name on
sending
it and the hound catches and kills the game and eats of it, then
you
should not eat of it, for it has killed it for itself." I said,
"Sometimes when I send my hound after a game, I find another hound
along with it and I do not know which of them has caught the game."
He
said, "You must not eat of it because you have not mentioned, the
Name
of Allah except on sending your own hound, and you did not mention
it
on the other hound." Then I asked him about the game hunted with a
Mi'rad (i.e. a sharp edged piece of wood or a piece of wood
provided
with a sharp piece of iron used for hunting). He said, "If the game
is
killed with its sharp edge, you can eat of it, but if it is killed
by
its broad side (shaft), you cannot eat of it, for then it is like
an
animal beaten to death with a pie

Narrated Adi Bin Hatim:

I asked Allah's Apostle, "We hunt with these hounds." He said, "If
you
send your trained hounds after a game and mention Allah's Name on
sending, you can eat of what they catch for you. But if the hound
eats
of the game, then you must not eat of it, for I am afraid that the
hound caught it for itself, and if another hound joins your hounds
(during the hunt), you should not eat of the game."

Narrated Abu Tha'laba Al-Khushani:

I came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are
living
in the land of the people of the Scripture and we take our meals in

their utensils, and in the land there is game and I hunt with my
bow
and trained or untrained hounds; please tell me what is lawful for
us
of that." He said, "As for your saying that you are living in the
land
of the people of the Scripture and that you eat in their utensils,
if
you can get utensils other than theirs, do not eat in their
utensils,
but if you do not find (other than theirs), then wash their
utensils
and eat in them. As for your saying that you are in the land of
game,
if you hung something with your bow, and have mentioned Allah's
Name
while hunting, then you can eat (the game). And if you hunt
something
with your trained hound, and have mentioned Allah's Name on sending
it
for hunting then you can eat (the game). But if you hunt something
with your untrained hound and you were able to slaughter it before
its
death, you can eat of it."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

We provoked a rabbit at Marr Az-Zahran till it started jumping. My
companions chased it till they got tired. But I alone ran after it
and
caught it and brought it to Abu Talha. He sent both its legs to the

Prophet who accepted them.

Narrated Abu Qatada:

that once he was with Allah's Apostle (on the way to Mecca). When
he
had covered some of the way to Mecca, he and some companions of
his,
who were in the state of lhram. remained behind the Prophet while
Abu
Qatada himself was not in the state of Ihram. Abu Qatada, seeing an

onager rode his horse and asked his companions to hand him a whip,
but
they refused. He then asked them to hand him his spear, but they
refused. Then he took it himself and attacked the onager and killed

it. Some of the Companions of Allah's Apostle ate of it, but some
others refused to eat. When they met Allah's Apostle they asked him

about that. He said, "It was meal given to you by Allah."

Narrated Abu Qatada:

(the same Hadith above, but he added); The Prophet asked, "Is there

any of its meat left with you?"

Narrated Abu Qatada:

I was with the Prophet (on a journey) between Mecca and Medina, and

all of them, (i.e. the Prophet and his companions) were in the
state
of Ihram, while I was not in that state. I was riding my horse and I

used to be fond of ascending mountains. So while I was doing so I
noticed that the people were looking at something. I went to see
what
it was, and behold it was an onager. I asked my companions, "What
is
that?" They said, "We do not know." I said, "It is an onager.' They

said, "It is what you have seen." I had left my whip, so I said to
them, "Hand to me my whip." They said, "We will not help you in
that
(in hunting the onager)." I got down, took my whip and chased the
animal (on my horse) and did not stop till I killed it. I went to
them
and said, "Come on, carry it!" But they said, "We will not even
touch
it." At last I alone carried it and brought it to them. Some of
them
ate of it and some refused to eat of it. I said (to them), "I will
ask
the Prophet about it (on your behalf)." When I met the Prophet, I
told
him the whole story. He said to me, "Has anything of it been left
with
you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Eat, for it is a meal Allah has
offered
to you."

Narrated Jabir:

We went out in a campaign and the army was called The Army of the
Khabt, and Abu 'Ubaida was our commander. We were struck with
severe
hunger. Then the sea threw a huge dead fish called Al-'Anbar, the
like
of which had never been seen. We ate of it for half a month, and
then
Abu 'Ubaida took one of its bones (and made an arch of it) so that a

rider could easily pass under it.

Narrated Jabir:

The Prophet sent us as an army unit of three hundred warriors under

the command of Abu 'Ubaida to ambush a caravan of the Quraish. But
we
were struck with such severe hunger that we ate the Khabt (desert
bushes), so our army was called the Army of the Khabt. Then the sea

threw a huge fish called Al-'Anbar and we ate of it for half a
month
and rubbed our bodies with its fat till our bodies became healthy.
Then Abu Ubaida took one of its ribs and fixed it over the ground
and
a rider passed underneath it. There was a man amongst us who
slaughtered three camels when hunger became severe, and he
slaughtered
three more, but after that Abu 'Ubaida forbade him to do so.

Narrated Ibn Abi Aufa:

We participated with the Prophet in six or seven Ghazawat, and we
used
to eat locusts with him.

Narrated Abu Tha'laba Al-Khushani:

I came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are living
in
the land of the people of the Scripture, and we take our meals in
their utensils, and there is game in that land and I hunt with my
bow
and with my trained hound and with my untrained hound." The Prophet

said, "As for your saying that you are in the land of people of the

Scripture, you should not eat in their utensils unless you find no
alternative, in which case you must wash the utensils and then eat
in
them As for your saying that you are in the land of game, if you
hunt
something with your bow, mention Allah's Name (while hunting the
game)
and eat; and if you hunt something with your trained hound, mention

Allah's Name on sending and eat; and if you hunt something with
your
untrained hound and get it alive, slaughter it and you can eat of
it"

Narrated Salama bin Al-Aqwa':

In the evening of the day of the conquest of Khaibar, the army made

fires (for cooking). The Prophet said, "For what have you made
these
fires?" They said, "For cooking the meat of domestic donkeys." He
said, "Throw away what is in the cooking pots and break the pots." A

man from the people got up and said, "Shall we throw the contents
of
the cooking pots and then wash the pots (instead of breaking
them)?"
The Prophet said, "Yes, you can do either'

Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:

We were with the Prophet in Dhul-Hulaifa and there the people were
struck with severe hunger. Then we got camels and sheep as war
booty
(and slaughtered them). The Prophet was behind all the people. The
people hurried and fixed the cooking pots (for cooking) but the
Prophet came there and ordered that the cooking pots be turned
upside
down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding ten sheep as equal
to
one camel. One of the camels ran away and there were a few horses
with
the people. They chased the camel but they got tired, whereupon a
man
shot it with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet said,
"Among these animals some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of
them runs away from you, treat it in this way." I said. "We hope,
or
we are afraid that tomorrow we will meet the enemy and we have no
knives, shall we slaughter (our animals) with canes?" The Prophet
said, "If the killing tool causes blood to gush out and if Allah's
Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer animal). But do not
slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am telling you why: A tooth is a

bone, and the nail is the knife of Ethiopians."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said that he met Zaid bin 'Amr Nufail at a place
near
Baldah and this had happened before Allah's Apostle received the
Divine Inspiration. Allah's Apostle presented a dish of meat (that
had
been offered to him by the pagans) to Zaid bin 'Amr, but Zaid
refused
to eat of it and then said (to the pagans), "I do not eat of what
you
slaughter on your stonealtars (Ansabs) nor do I eat except that on
which Allah's Name has been mentioned on slaughtering."

Narrated Jundub bin Sufyan Al-Bajali:

Once during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle we offered some animals
as
sacrifices. Some people slaughtered their sacrifices before the
(Id)
prayer, so when the Prophet finished his prayer, he saw that they
had
slaughtered their sacrifices before the prayer. He said, "Whoever
has
slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the prayer, should slaughter
(another sacrifice) in lieu of it; and whoever has not yet
slaughtered
it till we have prayed; should slaughter (it) by mentioning Allah's

Name."

Narrated Ka'b:

that a slave girl of theirs used to shepherd some sheep at Si'a (a
mountain near Medina). On seeing one of her sheep dying, she broke a

stone and slaughtered it. Ka'b said to his family, "Do not eat (of
it)
till I go to the Prophet and ask him, or, till I send someone to
ask
him." So he went to the Prophet or sent someone to him The Prophet
permitted (them) to eat it.

Narrated 'Abdullah

that Ka'b had a slave girl who used to graze his sheep on a small
mountain, called "Sl'a", situated near the market. Once a sheep was

dying, so she broke a stone and slaughtered it with it. When they
mentioned that to the Prophet, he, permitted them to eat it.

Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:

that he said, "O Allah's Apostle! We have no knife." The Prophet
said,
"if the killing tool causes blood to gush out, and if Allah's Name
is
mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter
with
a nail or a tooth, for the nail is the knife of Ethiopians and a
tooth
is a bone." Suddenly a camel ran away and it was stopped (with an
arrow). The Prophet then said, "Of these camels there are some
which
are as wild as wild beasts; so if one of them runs away from you
and
you cannot catch it, treat it in this manner (i.e. shoot it with an

arrow)."

Narrated Ka'b bin Malik:

A lady slaughtered a sheep with a stone and then the Prophet was
asked
about it and he permitted it to be eaten.

Narrated Mu'adh bin Sad or Sad bin Mu'adh:

A slave girl belonging to Ka'b used to graze some sheep at Sl'a
(mountain). Once one of her sheep was dying. She reached it (before

died) and slaughtered it with a stone. The Prophet was asked, and
he
said, "Eat it."

Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:

The Prophet said, "Eat what is slaughtered (with any instrument)
that
makes blood flow out, except what is slaughtered with a tooth or a
nail.'

Narrated 'Aisha:

A group of people said to the Prophet, "Some people bring us meat
and
we do not know whether they have mentioned Allah's Name or not on
slaughtering the animal." He said, "Mention Allah's Name on it and
eat." Those people had embraced Islam recently.

Narrates 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal:

While we were besieging the castle of Khaibar, Somebody threw a
skin
full of fat and I went ahead to take it, but on looking behind, I
saw
the Prophet and I felt shy in his presence (and did not take it).

Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:

I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are going to face the enemy tomorrow

and we do not have knives." He said, "Hurry up (in killing the
animal). If the killing tool causes blood to flow out, and if
Allah's
Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not
slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will tell you why: As for the
tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of
Ethiopians." Then we got some camels and sheep as war booty, and
one
of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot it with an arrow and

stopped it. Allah's Apostle said, "Of these camels there are some
which are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them (runs away and)

tying
them."

friendly
relations between us and this tribe of Jarm. Abu Musa was presented

with a dish containing chicken. Among the people there was sitting a

red-faced man who did not come near the food. Abu Musa said (to
him),
"Come on (and eat), for I have seen Allah's Apostle eating of it
(i.e.
chicken)." He said, "I have seen it eating something (dirty) and
since
then I have disliked it, and have taken an oath that I shall not
eat
it ' Abu Musa said, "Come on, I will tell you (or narrate to you).
Once I went to Allah s Apostle with a group of Al-Ash'ariyin, and
met
him while he was angry, distributing some camels of Rakat. We asked

for mounts but he took an oath that he would not give us any
mounts,
and added, 'I have nothing to mount you on' In the meantime some
camels of booty were brought to Allah's Apostle and he asked twice,

'Where are Al-Ash'ariyin?" So he gave us five white camels with big

humps. We stayed for a short while (after we had covered a little
distance), and then I said to my companions, "Allah's Apostle has
forgotten his oath. By Allah, if we do not remind Allah's Apostle
of
his oath, we will never be successful." So we returned to the
Prophet
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We asked you for mounts, but you took
an
oath that you would not give us any mounts; we think that you have
forgotten your oath.' He said, 'It is Allah Who has given you
mounts.
By Allah, and Allah willing, if I take an oath and later find
something else better than that. then I do what is better and
expiate
my oath.' "

donkeys, for it is impure.' Thus the pots were turned upside down
while the (donkeys') meat was boiling in them.

Narrated Abu Musa:

The Prophet said, 'The example of a good pious companion and an
evil
one is that of a person carrying musk and another blowing a pair of

bellows. The one who is carrying musk will either give you some
perfume as a present, or you will buy some from him, or you will
get a

either burn your clothes or you will get a bad smell from him."

mastigure was served. Allah's Apostle stretched his hand out (to
eat
of it) but some woman said, "Inform Allah's Apostle of what he is
about to eat." So they said, "It is mastigure, O Allah's Apostle!"
He
withdrew his hand, whereupon I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is it
unlawful?" He said, "No, but this is not found in the land of my
people, so I dislike it." So I pulled the mastigure towards me and
ate
it while Allah's Apostle was looking at me.

Narrated Maimuna:

the
ear.)

Narrated Rait' bin Khadij:

have no knives (for slaughtering)' He said, "If you slaughter the
animal with anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if
Allah's
Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, unless the killing

instrument is a tooth or nail. I will tell you why: As for the
tooth,
it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife of Ethiopians."
The
quick ones among the people got the war booty while the Prophet was

behind the people. So they placed the cooking pots on the fire, but

the Prophet ordered the cooking pots to be turned upside down. Then
he
distributed (the war booty) among them, considering one camel as
equal
to ten sheep. Then a camel belonging to the first party of people
ran
away and they had no horses with them, so a man shot it with an
arrow
whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet said, "Of these animals there

are some which are as wild as wild beasts. So, if anyone of them
runs
away like this, do like this (shoot it with an arrow)."

Narrated Al-Bara:

The Prophet said (on the day of Idal-Adha), "The first thing we
will
do on this day of ours, is to offer the ('Id) prayer and then
return
to slaughter the sacrifice. Whoever does so, he acted according to
our
Sunna (tradition), and whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) before
the
prayer, what he offered was just meat he presented to his family,
and
that will not be considered as Nusak (sacrifice)." (On hearing
that)
Abu Burda bin Niyar got up, for he had slaughtered the sacrifice
before the prayer, and said, "I have got a six month old ram." The
Prophet said, 'Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be
sufficient for any-one else (as a sacrifice after you). Al-Bara'
added: The Prophet said, "Whoever slaughtered (the sacrifice) after

the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the
tradition of the Muslims."

prayer, he just slaughtered it for himself, and whoever slaughtered
it
after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed
the
tradition of the Muslims."

that the Prophet distributed among his companions some animals for
sacrifice (to be slaughtered on 'Id-al-Adha). 'Uqba's share was a

get
in my share of Jadha'a (a six month old ram)." The Prophet said,
"Slaughter it as a sacrifice."

Narrated 'Aisha:

that the Prophet entered upon her when she had her menses at Sarif
before entering Mecca, and she was weeping (because she was afraid
that she would not be able to perform the Hajj). The Prophet said,
"What is wrong with you? Have you got your period?" She said,
"Yes."
He said, "This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters
of
Adam, so perform all the ceremonies of Hajj like the others, but do

not perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba." 'Aisha added: When we were
at
Mina, beef was brought to me and I asked, "What is this?" They (the

people) said, "Allah's Apostle has slaughtered some cows as
sacrifices
on behalf of his wives."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet said on the day of Nahr, "Whoever has slaughtered his
sacrifice before the prayer, should repeat it (slaughter another
sacrifice)." A man got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is a
day
on which meat is desired." He then mentioned his neighbors saying,
"I
have a six month old ram which is to me better than the meat of two

sheep." The Prophet allowed him to slaughter it as a sacrifice, but
I
do not know whether this permission was valid for other than that
man
or not. The Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered
them,
and then the people went towards some sheep and distributed them
among
themselves.

Narrated Abu Bakra:

The Prophet said, "Time has come back to its original state which
it
had on the day Allah created the Heavens and the Earth. The year is

twelve months, four of which are sacred, three of them are in
succession, namely Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul Hijja and Muharram, (the fourth

being) Rajab Mudar which is between Juma'da (ath-thamj and Sha'ban.

The Prophet then asked, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and
his
Apostle know better." He kept silent so long that we thought that
he
would call it by a name other than its real name. He said, "Isn't
it
the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We said, "Yes." He said, "Which town is
this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He kept silent
so
long that we thought that he would call it t,y a name other than
its
real name. He said, "isn't it the town (of Mecca)?" We replied,
"Yes." He said, "What day is today?" We replied, "Allah and His
Apostle know better." He kept silent so long that we thought that
he
would call it by a name other than its real name. He said, "Isn't
it
the day of Nahr?" We replied, "Yes." He then said, "Your blood,
properties and honor are as sacred to one another as this day of
yours
in this town of yours in this month of yours. You will meet your
Lord,
and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray
after
me by cutting the necks of each other. It is incumbent upon those
who
are present to convey this message to those who are absent, for
some
of those to whom it is conveyed may comprehend it better than some
of
those who have heard it directly." (Muhammad, the sub-narrator, on
mentioning this used to say: The Prophet then said, "No doubt!
Haven't
I delivered (Allah's) Message (to you)? Haven't I delivered Allah's

message (to you)?"

Narrated Nafi':

'Abdullah (bin 'Umar) used to slaughter his sacrifice at the
slaughtering place (i.e the slaughtering place of the Prophet ) .
Ibn
'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle used to slaughter (camels and sheep,
etc.,) as sacrifices at the Musalla."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet used to offer two rams as sacrifices, and I also used
to
offer two rams.

Narrated Anas:

Allah's Apostle came towards two horned rams having black and white

colors and slaughtered them with his own hands.

Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir:

that the Prophet gave him some sheep to distribute among his
companions to slaughter as sacrifices ('Id--al--Adha). A kid was
left
and he told the Prophet of that whereupon he said to him,
"Slaughter
it as a sacrifice (on your behalf)."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:

An uncle of mine called Abu Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before

the 'Id prayer. So Allah's Apostle said to him, "Your (slaughtered)

sheep was just mutton (not a sacrifice)." Abu Burda said, "O
Allah's
Apostle! I have got a domestic kid." The Prophet said, "Slaughter
it
(as a sacrifice) but it will not be permissible for anybody other
than
you" The Prophet added, "Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before
the
('Id) prayer, he only slaughtered for himself, and whoever
slaughtered it after the prayer, he offered his sacrifice properly
and
followed the tradition of the Muslims."

Narrated Al-Bara':

Abu Burda slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the ('Id) prayer
whereupon the Prophet said to him, "Slaughter another sacrifice
instead of that." Abu Burda said, "I have nothing except a
Jadha'a."
(Shu'ba said: Perhaps Abu Burda also said that Jadha'a was better
than
an old sheep in his opinion.) The Prophet said, "(Never mind),
slaughter it to make up for the other one, but it will not be
sufficient for anyone else after you."

The Prophet slaughtered two rams, black and white in color (as
sacrifices), and I saw him putting his foot on their sides and

them with his own hands.

Narrated 'Aisha:

Allah's Apostle entered upon me at Sarif while I was weeping
(because
I was afraid that I would not be able to perform the ,Hajj). He
said,
"What is wrong with you? Have you got your period?" I replied,
"Yes."
He said, "This is a matter Allah has decreed for all the daughters
of
Adam, so perform the ceremonies of the Hajj as the pilgrims do, but
do
not perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba." Allah's Apostle
slaughtered
some cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives.

Narrated Al-Bara':

I heard the Prophet delivering a sermon, and he said (on the Day of

'Id-Allah. a), "The first thing we will do on this day of ours is
that
we will offer the 'Id prayer, then we will return and slaughter our

sacrifices; and whoever does so, then indeed he has followed our
tradition, and whoever slaughtered his sacrifice (before the
prayer),
what he offered was just meat that he presented to his family, and
that was not a sacrifice." Abu Burda got up and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer and I have
got
a Jadha'a which is better than an old sheep." The Prophet said,
"Slaughter it to make up for that, but it will not be sufficient
for
anybody else after you."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "Whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the 'Id

prayer, should repeat it (slaughter another one)." A man said "This
is
the day on which meat is desired." Then he mentioned the need of
his
neighbors (for meat) and the Prophet seemed to accept his excuse.
The
man said, "I have a Jadha'a which is to me better than two sheep."
The
Prophet allowed him (to slaughter it as a sacrifice). But I do not
know whether this permission was general for all Muslims or not.
The
Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and the
people went towards their sheep and slaughtered them.

Narrated Jundab bin Sufyan Al-Bajali:

I witnessed the Prophet on the Day of Nahr. He said, "Whoever
slaughtered the sacrifice before offering the 'Id prayer, should
slaughter another sacrifice in its place; and whoever has not
slaughtered their sacrifice yet, should slaughter now."

Narrated Al-Bara':

One day Allah's Apostle offered the 'Id prayer and said, "Whoever
offers our prayer and faces our Qibla should not slaughter the
sacrifice till he finishes the 'Id prayer." Abu Burda bin Niyar got
up
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have already done it. The Prophet
said, "That is something you have done before its due time." Abu
Burda
said, "I have a Jadha'a which is better than two old sheep; shall I

slaughter it?" The Prophet said, "Yes, but it will not be
sufficient
for anyone after you."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet used to offer as sacrifices, two horned rams, black and

white in color, and used to put his foot on their sides and
slaughter
them with his own hands.

The Prophet offered as sacrifices, two horned rams, black and white
in
color. He slaughtered them with his own hands and mentioned Allah's

Name over them and said Takbir and put his foot on their sides.

Narrated Masruq:

that he came to 'Aisha and said to her, "O Mother of the Believers!

There is a man who sends a Hadi to Ka'ba and stays in his city and
requests that his Hadi camel be garlanded while he remains in a
state
of Ihram from that day till the people finish their Ihram (after
completing all the ceremonies of Hajj)" (What do you say about it?)

Masruq added, I heard the clapping of her hands behind the curtain.

She said, "I used to twist the garlands for the Hadi of Allah's
Apostle and he used to send his Hadi to Ka'ba but he never used to
regard as unlawful what was lawful for men to do with their wives
till
the people returned (from the Hajj)."

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

During the lifetime of the Prophet we used to take with us the meat
of
the sacrifices (of Id al Adha) to Medina. (The narrator often said.

The meat of the Hadi).

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:

that once he was not present (at the time of 'Id-al-Adha) and when
he
came. some meat was presented to him. and the people said (to him),

'This is the meat of our sacrifices" He said. 'Take it away; I
shall
not taste it. (In his narration) Abu Sa'id added: I got up and went
to
my brother, Abu Qatada (who was his maternal brother and was one of

the warriors of the battle of Badr) and mentioned that to him He
Sad.
'A new verdict was given in your absence (i.e., meat of sacrifices
was
allowed to be stored and eaten later on)."

Narrated Salama bin Al-Aqua':

The Prophet said, "Whoever has slaughtered a sacrifice should not
keep
anything of Its meat after three days." When it was the next year
the
people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we do as we did last year?"
He
said, ' Eat of it and feed of it to others and store of it for in
that
year the people were having a hard time and I wanted you to help
(the
needy)."

Narrated 'Aisha:

We used to salt some of the meat of sacrifice and present it to the

Prophet at Medina. Once he said, "Do not eat (of that meat) for
more
than three days." That was not a final order, but (that year) he
wanted us to feed of it to others, Allah knows better.

Narrated Abu 'Ubaid:

the freed slave of Ibn Azhar that he witnessed the Day of
'Id-al-Adha
with 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. 'Umar offered the 'Id prayer before the
sermon and then delivered the sermon before the people, saying, "O
people! Allah's Apostle has forbidden you to fast (on the first day

of) each of these two 'Ida, for one of them is the Day of breaking
your fast, and the other is the one, on which you eat the meat of
your
sacrifices."

Narrated Abu 'Ubaid:

(in continuation of 478). Then I witnessed the 'Id with 'Uthman bin

'Affan, and that was on a Friday. He offered the prayer before the
sermon, saying, "O people! Today you have two 'Its (festivals)
together, so whoever of those who live at Al-'Awali (suburbs) would

like to wait for the Jumua prayer, he may wait, and whoever would
like
to return (home) Is granted my permission to do so." Then I
witnessed
(the 'Its) with 'Ali bin Abi Talib, and he too offered the 'Id
prayer
before the sermon and then delivered the sermon before the people
and
said, "Allah's Apostle has forbidden you to eat the meat of your
sacrifices for more than three days."

cups, one containing wine and the other milk, were presented to him

"Praise be to Allah Who guided you to Al-Fitra (the right path); if

you had taken (the cup of) wine, your nation would have gone
astray."

prevail, (religious) knowledge will decrease, illegal sexual
intercourse will prevail, alcoholic drinks will be drunk (in
abundance), men will decrease and women will increase so much so
that
for every fifty women there will be one man to look after them."

illegal
sexual intercourse is not a believer; and a person, at the time of
drinking an alcoholic drink is not a believer; and a thief, at the
time of stealing, is not a believer." Ibn Shihab said: 'Abdul Malik

bin Abi Bakr bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al- Harith bin Hisham told me
that
Abu Bakr used to narrate that narration to him on the authority of
Abu
Huraira. He used to add that Abu Bakr used to mention, besides the

given us definite verdicts concerning three matters, i.e., how much

Al-Kalala (the deceased person among whose heirs there is no father
or

will
stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd
will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but

not stopped using it. The Prophet forbade us to wear clothes of
silk
or Dibaj, and to drink in gold or silver utensils, and said, 'These

things are for them (unbelievers) in this world and for you
(Muslims)
in the Hereafter.' "

Narrated Hudhaifa:

The Prophet said, "Do not drink in gold or silver utensils, and do
not
wear clothes of silk or Dibaj, for these things are for them
(unbelievers) in this world and for you in the Hereafter."

Narrated Um Salama:

(the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle said, "He who drinks in
silver utensils is only filling his abdomen with Hell Fire."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:

Allah's Apostle ordered us to do seven things and forbade us from
seven. He ordered us to visit the sick, to follow funeral
processions,
(to say) to a sneezer, (May Allah bestow His Mercy on you, if he
says,
Praise be to Allah), to accept invitations, to greet (everybody),
to
help the oppressed and to help others to fulfill their oaths. He
forbade us to wear gold rings, to drink in silver (utensils), to
use
Mayathir (silken carpets placed on saddles), to wear Al-Qissi (a
kind
of silken cloth), to wear silk, Dibaj or Istabraq (two kinds of
silk).

Narrated Um Al-Fadl:

that the people were in doubt whether the Prophet was fasting on
the
Day of 'Arafat or not, so a (wooden) drinking vessel full of milk
was
sent to him, and he drank it.

Narrated Sahl bin Sad:

An Arab lady was mentioned to the Prophet so he asked Abu Usaid
As-Sa'idi to send for her, and he sent for her and she came and
stayed
in the castle of Bani Sa'ida. The Prophet came out and went to her
and
entered upon her. Behold, it was a lady sitting with a drooping
head.
When the Prophet spoke to her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah
from you." He said, "I grant you refuge from me." They said to her,

"Do you know who this is?" She said, "No." They said, "This is
Allah's
Apostle who has come to command your hand in marriage." She said,
"I
am very unlucky to lose this chance." Then the Prophet and his
companions went towards the shed of Bani Sa'ida and sat there. Then
he
said, "Give us water, O Sahl!" So I took out this drinking bowl and

gave them water in it. The sub-narrator added: Sahl took out for us

that very drinking bowl and we all drank from it. Later on Umar bin

'Abdul 'Aziz requested Sahl to give it to him as a present, and he
gave it to him as a present.

Narrated 'Asim al-Ahwal:

I saw the drinking bowl of the Prophet with Anas bin Malik, and it
had
been broken, and he had mended it with silver plates. That drinking

bowl was quite wide and made of Nadar wood, Anas said, "I gave
water
to the Prophet in that bowl more than so-and-so (for a long
period)."
Ibn Sirin said: Around that bowl there was an iron ring, and Anas
wanted to replace it with a silver or gold ring, but Abu Talha said
to
him, "Do not change a thing that Allah's Apostle has made." So Anas

left it as it was.

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle said, "No calamity
befalls a
Muslim but that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it, even

though it were the prick he receives from a thorn."

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor
sadness,
nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick
he
receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for

that."

Narrated Kab:

The Prophet said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh
tender
plant, which the wind bends lt sometimes and some other time it
makes
it straight. And the example of a hypocrite is that of a pine tree
which keeps straight till once it is uprooted suddenly.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh

tender plant; from whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it,
but
when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a

believer is afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till
Allah removes his difficulties.) And an impious wicked person is
like
a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till Allah cuts (breaks)
it
down when He wishes." (See Hadith No. 558, Vol. 9.)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "If Allah wants to do good to somebody, He
afflicts him with trials."

Narrated Aisha:

I never saw anybody suffering so much from sickness as Allah's
Apostle

Narrated 'Abdullah:

I visited the Prophet during his ailments and he was suffering from
a
high fever. I said, "You have a high fever. Is it because you will
have a double reward for it?" He said, "Yes, for no Muslim is
afflicted with any harm but that Allah will remove his sins as the
leaves of a tree fall down."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

I visited Allah's Apostle while he was suffering from a high fever.
I
said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have a high fever." He said, "Yes, I
have as much fever as two men of you." I said, "Is it because you
will
have a double reward?" He said, "Yes, it is so. No Muslim is
afflicted
with any harm, even if it were the prick of a thorn, but that Allah

expiates his sins because of that, as a tree sheds its leaves."

Narrated Abu Muisa Al-Ash'ari:

The Prophet said, "Feed the hungry, visit the sick, and set free
the
captives."

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib:

Allah's Apostle ordered us to do seven things and forbade us to do
seven other things. He forbade us to wear gold rings, silk, Dibaj,
Istabriq, Qissy, and Maithara; and ordered us to accompany funeral
processions, visit the sick and greet everybody. (See Hadith No.
104)

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

Once I fell ill. The Prophet and Abu Bakr came walking to pay me a

visit and found me unconscious. The Prophet performed ablution and
then poured the remaining water on me, and I came to my senses to
see
the Prophet. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! What shall I do with my
property? How shall I dispose of (distribute) my property?" He did
not
reply till the Verse of inheritance was revealed.

Narrated 'Ata bin Abi Rabah:

Ibn 'Abbas said to me, "Shall I show you a woman of the people of
Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said, "This black lady came to the
Prophet and said, 'I get attacks of epilepsy and my body becomes
uncovered; please invoke Allah for me.' The Prophet said (to her),
'If
you wish, be patient and you will have (enter) Paradise; and if you

wish, I will invoke Allah to cure you.' She said, 'I will remain
patient,' and added, 'but I become uncovered, so please invoke
Allah
for me that I may not become uncovered.' So he invoked Allah for
her."

Narrated 'Ata:

That he had seen Um Zafar, the tall black lady, at (holding) the
curtain of the Ka'ba.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Allah said, 'If I deprive my slave
of
his two beloved things (i.e., his eyes) and he remains patient, I
will
let him enter Paradise in compensation for them.'"

Narrated 'Aisha:

When Allah's Apostle emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal got a
fever. I entered upon them and asked, "O my father! How are you? O
Bilal! How are you?" Whenever fever attacked Abu Bakr, he would
recite
the following poetic verses: 'Everybody is staying alive among his
people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces." And
whenever
the fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic lines):
'Would
that I could stay overnight in a valley wherein I would be
surrounded
by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of good smelling grass). Would that

one day I would drink of the water of Majinna and would that Shama
and
Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me.' Then I came and

informed Allah's Apostle about that, whereupon he said, "O Allah!
Make
us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca. O Allah! Make it

healthy and bless its Mudd and Sa for us, and take away its fever
and
put it in Al'Juhfa."

Narrated Abu 'Uthman:

Usama bin Zaid said that while he. Sad and Ubai bin Ka'b were with
the
Prophet a daughter of the Prophet sent a message to him, saying.
'My
daughter is dying; please come to us." The Prophet sent her his
greetings and added "It is for Allah what He takes, and what He
gives;
and everything before His sight has a limited period. So she should

hope for Allah's reward and remain patient." She again sent a
message,
beseeching him by Allah, to come. So the Prophet got up. and so did
we
(and went there). The child was placed on his lap while his breath
was
irregular. Tears flowed from the eyes of the Prophet. Sad said to
him,
"What is this, O Allah's Apostle?" He said. "This Is Mercy which
Allah
has embedded in the hearts of whomever He wished of His slaves. And

Allah does not bestow His Mercy, except on the merciful among His
slaves. (See Hadith No. 373 Vol. 2)

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

The Prophet went to visit a sick bedouin. Whenever the Prophet went
to
a patient, he used to say to him, "Don't worry, if Allah will, it
will
be expiation (for your sins):" The bedouin said, "You say
expiation?
No, it is but a fever that is boiling or harassing an old man and
will
lead him to his grave without his will." The Prophet said, "Then,
yes,
it is so."

Narrated Anas:

A Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet and became ill. The Prophet
went to pay him a visit and said to him, "Embrace Islam," and he
did
embrace Islam. Al-Musaiyab said: When Abu Talib was on his
deathbed,
the Prophet visited him.

Narrated 'Aisha:

During the ailment of the Prophet some people came to visits him.
He
led them in prayer while sitting. but they prayed standing, so he
waved to them to sit down. When he had finished the prayer, he
said,
"An Imam is to be followed, so when he bows, you should bow. and
when
he raises his head, you should raise yours, and if he prays
sitting.
you should pray sitting." Abu Abdullah said Al-Humaidi said, (The
order of ) "This narration has been abrogated by the last action of

the Prophet as he led the prayer sitting, while the people prayed
standing behind him'

Narrated Sad:

I became seriously ill at Mecca and the Prophet came to visit me. I

said, "O Allah's Apostle! I shall leave behind me a good fortune,
but
my heir is my only daughter; shall I bequeath two third of my
property
to be spent in charity and leave one third (for my heir)?" He said,

"No." I said, "Shall I bequeath half and leave half?" He said,
"No." I
said, "Shall I bequeath one third and leave two thirds?" He said,
"One
third is alright, though even one third is too much." Then he
placed
his hand on his forehead and passed it over my face and abdomen and

said, "O Allah! Cure Sad and complete his emigration." I feel as
if I
have been feeling the coldness of his hand on my liver ever since.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:

I visited Allah's Apostle while he was suffering from a high fever.
I
touched him with my hand and said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have a
high
fever." Allah's Apostle said, "Yes, I have as much fever as two men
of
you have." I said, "Is it because you will get a double reward?"
Allah's Apostle said, "Yes, no Muslim is afflicted with harm
because
of sickness or some other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove

his sins for him as a tree sheds its leaves."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

I visited the Prophet during his illness and touched him while he
was
having a fever. I said to him, "You have a high fever; is it
because
you will get a double reward?" He said, "Yes. No Muslim is
afflicted
with any harm, but that his sins will be annulled as the leave of a

tree fall down."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Apostle entered upon sick man to pay him a visit, and said
to
him, "Don't worry, Allah willing, (your sickness will be) an
expiation
for your sins." The man said, "No, it is but a fever that is
boiling
within an old man and will send him to his grave." On that, the
Prophet said, "Then yes, it is so."

Narrated Usama bin Zaid:

The Prophet rode a donkey having a saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet
covering. He mounted me behind him and went to visit Sad bin
'Ubada,
and that had been before the battle of Badr. The Prophet proceeded
till he passed by a gathering in which 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul

was present, and that had been before 'Abdullah embraced Islam. The

gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, i.e., isolators and
Jews.
'Abdullah bin Rawaha was also present in that gathering. When dust
raised by the donkey covered the gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai
covered
his nose with his upper garment and said, "Do not trouble us with
dust." The Prophet greeted them, stopped and dismounted. Then he
invited them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to them
some verses of the Holy Qur'an. On that, 'Abdullah bin Ubai said,
"O
man ! There is nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do
not
trouble us with it in our gathering, but return to your house, and
if
somebody comes to you, teach him there." On that 'Abdullah bin
Rawaha
said, Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring your teachings to our
gathering,
for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started
abusing each other till they were about to fight. The Prophet kept
on
quietening them till they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet
mounted
his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Sad bin Ubada. He
said
to him "O Sad! Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., 'Abdullah
bin
Ubai) said?" Sad said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and forgive him,
for
Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this town
(Medina decided unanimously to crown him and make him their chief
by
placing a turban on his head, but when that was prevented by the
Truth
which Allah had given you he ('Abdullah bin Ubai) was grieved out
of
jealously, and that was the reason which caused him to behave in
the
way you have seen."

Narrated Jabir:

The Prophet came to visit me (while I was sick) and he was riding
neither a mule, nor a horse.

Narrated Ka'b bin 'Ujara:

The Prophet passed by me while I was kindling a fire under a
(cooking)
pot. He said, "Do the lice of your head trouble you?" I said,
"Yes."
So he called a barber to shave my head and ordered me to make
expiation for that."

Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:

'Aisha, (complaining of headache) said, "Oh, my head"! Allah's
Apostle
said, "I wish that had happened while I was still living, for then I

would ask Allah's Forgiveness for you and invoke Allah for you."
Aisha
said, "Wa thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to die; and If
this
should happen, you would spend the last part of the day sleeping
with
one of your wives!" The Prophet said, "Nay, I should say, 'Oh my
head!' I felt like sending for Abu Bakr and his son, and appoint
him
as my successor lest some people claimed something or some others
wished something, but then I said (to myself), 'Allah would not
allow
it to be otherwise, and the Muslims would prevent it to be
otherwise".

Narrated Ibn Mas'ud:

I visited the Prophet while he was having a high fever. I touched
him
an said, "You have a very high fever" He said, "Yes, as much fever
as
two me of you may have." I said. "you will have a double reward?"
He
said, "Yes No Muslim is afflicted with hurt caused by disease or
some
other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins as a tree
sheds its leaves."

Narrated Sad:

Allah's Apostle came to visit me during my ailment which had been
aggravated during Hajjat-al-Wada'. I said to him, "You see how sick
I
am. I have much property but have no heir except my only daughter
May
I give two thirds of my property in charity?"! He said, "No." I
said,
"Half of it?" He said, "No." I said "One third?" He said, "One
third
is too much, for to leave your heirs rich is better than to leave
them
poor, begging of others. Nothing you spend seeking Allah's pleasure

but you shall get a reward for it, even for what you put in the
mouth
of your wife."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

When Allah's Apostle was on his death-bed and in the house there
were
some people among whom was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said,
"Come, let me write for you a statement after which you will not go

astray." 'Umar said, "The Prophet is seriously ill and you have the

Qur'an; so the Book of Allah is enough for us." The people present
in
the house differed and quarrelled. Some said "Go near so that the
Prophet may write for you a statement after which you will not go
astray," while the others said as Umar said. When they caused a hue

and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Apostle said, "Go away!"
Narrated
'Ubaidullah: Ibn 'Abbas used to say, "It was very unfortunate that
Allah's Apostle was prevented from writing that statement for them
because of their disagreement and noise."

Narrated As-Sa'ib:

My aunt took me to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! My

nephew is- ill." The Prophet touched my head with his hand and
invoked
Allah to bless me. He then performed ablution and I drank of the
remaining water of his ablution and then stood behind his back and
saw
"Khatam An-Nubuwwa" (The Seal of Prophethood) between his shoulders

like a button of a tent.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet said, "None of you should wish for death because of a
calamity befalling him; but if he has to wish for death, he should
say: "O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and
let
me die if death is better for me.' "

Narrated Qais bin Abi Hazim:

We went to pay a visit to Khabbab (who was sick) and he had been
branded (cauterized) at seven places in his body. He said, "Our
companions who died (during the lifetime of the Prophet) left (this

world) without having their rewards reduced through enjoying the
pleasures of this life, but we have got (so much) wealth that we
find
no way to spend It except on the construction of buildings Had the
Prophet not forbidden us to wish for death, I would have wished for

it.' We visited him for the second time while he was building a
wall.
He said, A Muslim is rewarded (in the Hereafter) for whatever he
spends except for something that he spends on building."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The good deeds of any person will
not
make him enter Paradise." (i.e., None can enter Paradise through
his
good deeds.) They (the Prophet's companions) said, 'Not even you, O

Allah's Apostle?' He said, "Not even myself, unless Allah bestows
His
favor and mercy on me." So be moderate in your religious deeds and
do
the deeds that are within your ability: and none of you should wish

for death, for if he is a good doer, he may increase his good
deeds,
and if he is an evil doer, he may repent to Allah."

Narrated 'Aisha:

I heard the Prophet , who was resting against me, saying, "O Allah!

Excuse me and bestow Your Mercy on me and let me join with the
highest
companions (in Paradise)." See Qur'an (4.69)

Narrated 'Aisha:

Whenever Allah's Apostle paid a visit to a patient, or a patient
was
brought to him, he used to invoke Allah, saying, "Take away the
disease, O the Lord of the people! Cure him as You are the One Who
cures. There is no cure but Yours, a cure that leaves no disease."

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:

The Prophet came to me while I was ill. He performed ablution and
threw the remaining water on me (or said, "Pour it on him) " When I

came to my senses I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have no son or
father
to be my heir, so how will be my inheritance?" Then the Verse of
inheritance was revealed.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "There is no disease that Allah has created,
except
that He also has created its treatment."

fire (cauterization) that suits the ailment, but I don't like to be

(cauterized) branded with fire."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

A man came to the Prophet and said, "My brother has some abdominal
trouble." The Prophet said to him "Let him drink honey." The man
came
for the second time and the Prophet said to him, 'Let him drink
honey." He came for the third time and the Prophet said, "Let him
drink honey." He returned again and said, "I have done that ' The
Prophet then said, "Allah has said the truth, but your brother's
abdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey." So he made him drink
honey and he was cured.

Narrated Anas:

Some people were sick and they said, "O Allah's Apostle! Give us
shelter and food. So when they became healthy they said, "The
weather
of Medina is not suitable for us." So he sent them to Al-Harra with

some she-camels of his and said, "Drink of their milk." But when
they
became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove
away
his camels. The Prophet sent some people in their pursuit. Then he
got
their hands and feet cut and their eyes were branded with heated
pieces of iron. I saw one of them licking the earth with his tongue

till he died.

Narrated Anas:

ordered
them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk
and
urine (as a medicine). So they followed the shepherd that is the
camels and drank their milk and urine till their bodies became
healthy. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels.

five or seven seeds and crush them (mix the powder with oil) and
drop
the resulting mixture into both nostrils, for 'Aisha has narrated
to
me that she heard the Prophet saying, 'This black cumin is healing
for
all diseases except As-Sam.' Aisha said, 'What is As-Sam?' He said,

'Death."

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "There is healing in black cumin
for
all diseases except death."

tonsillitis by pressing the tonsils or the palate with the finger,
but
use incense."

was
said, 'No. It is Moses and his followers It was said to me, 'Look
at
the horizon.'' Behold! There was a multitude of people filling the
horizon. Then it was said to me, 'Look there and there about the
stretching sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling the horizon,'
It
was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom seventy thousand
shall enter Paradise without reckoning.' "Then the Prophet entered
his
house without telling his companions who they (the 70,000) were. So

the people started talking about the issue and said, "It is we who
have believed in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those
people are either ourselves or our children who are born m the
Islamic
era, for we were born in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance.''
When
the Prophet heard of that, he came out and said. "Those people are
those who do not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe
in
bad or good omen (from birds etc.) nor do they get themselves
branded
(Cauterized). but they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On
