from all sides (or has encircled him), and this (line), which is
outside (the square), is his hope, and these small lines are the
calamities and troubles (which may befall him), and if one misses

(an ally of the tribe of Bani 'Amir bin Lu'ai and one of those who
had witnessed the battle of Badr with Allah's Apostle) Allah's
Apostle sent Abu 'Ubaida bin AlJarrah to Bahrain to collect the
Jizya tax. Allah's Apostle had concluded a peace treaty with the
people of Bahrain and appointed Al 'Ala bin Al-Hadrami as their
chief; Abu Ubaida arrived from Bahrain with the money. The Ansar
heard of Abu 'Ubaida's arrival which coincided with the Fajr
(morning) prayer led by Allah's Apostle. When the Prophet finished
the prayer, they came to him. Allah's Apostle smiled when he saw
them and said, "I think you have heard of the arrival of Abu 'Ubaida
and that he has brought something." They replied, "Yes, O Allah's
Apostle! " He said, "Have the good news, and hope for what will
please you. By Allah, I am not afraid that you will become poor, but
I am afraid that worldly wealth will be given to you in abundance as
it was given to those (nations) before you, and you will start
competing each other for it as the previous nations competed for it,
and then it will divert you (from good) as it diverted them." '
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 434
Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir:
The Prophet went out and offered the funeral prayer for the martyrs
of the (battle of) Uhud and then ascended the pulpit and said, "I am
your predecessor and I am a witness against you. By Allah, I am now
looking at my Tank-lake (Al-Kauthar) and I have been given the keys
of the treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By Allah!
I am not afraid that after me you will worship others besides Allah,
but I am afraid that you will start competing for (the pleasures of)
this world."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 435
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle said, "The thing I am afraid of most for your sake,
is the worldly blessings which Allah will bring forth to you." It
was said, "What are the blessings of this world?" The Prophet said,
"The pleasures of the world." A man said, "Can the good bring forth
evil?" The Prophet kept quiet for a while till we thought that he
was being inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from
his forehead and said," Where is the questioner?" That man said, "I
(am present)." Abu Sa'id added: We thanked the man when the result
(of his question) was such. The Prophet said, "Good never brings
forth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet
(fruit), and all the vegetation which grows on the bank of a stream
either kills or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of it,
except the animal that eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such
an animal eats till its stomach is full and then it faces the sun
and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and goes
to eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a
person earns it (the wealth) in a legal way and spends it properly,
then it is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal
way, he will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 436
Narrated Zahdam bin Mudarrib:
'Imran bin Husain said: The Prophet said, "The best people are my
contemporaries (i.e., the present (my) generation) and then those
who come after them (i.e., the next generation)." Imran added: I am
not sure whether the Prophet repeated the statement twice after his
first saying. The Prophet added, "And after them there will come
people who will bear witness, though they will not be asked to give
their witness; and they will be treacherous and nobody will trust
them, and they will make vows, but will not fulfill them, and
fatness will appear among them."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 437
Narrated 'Abdullah :
The Prophet said, "The best people are those of my generation, and
then those who will come after them (the next generation), and then
those who will come after them (i.e. the next generation), and then
after them, there will come people whose witness will precede their
oaths, and whose oaths will precede their witness."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 438
Narrated Qais:
I heard Khabbab, who had branded his abdomen with seven brands,
saying, "Had Allah's Apostle not forbidden us to invoke Allah for
death, I would have invoked Allah for death. The companions of
Muhammad have left this world without taking anything of their
reward in it (i.e., they will have perfect reward in the Hereafter),
but we have collected of the worldly wealth what we cannot spend but
on earth (i.e. on building houses)."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 439
Narrated Qais:
I came to Khabbab while he was building a wall, and he (Khabbab)
said, "Our companions who have left this world, did not enjoy

building)."

place and he performed it in a perfect way and said, "Whoever
performs the ablution as I have done this time and then proceeds to
the mosque and offers a two-Rak'at prayer and then sits there
(waiting for the compulsory congregational prayers), then all his
past sins will be forgiven." The Prophet further added, "Do not be
conceited (thinking that your sins will be forgiven because of your
prayer)."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 442
Narrated Mirdas Al-Aslami:
The Prophet said, "The righteous (pious people will depart (die) in
succession one after the other, and there will remain (on the earth)
useless people like the useless husk of barley seeds or bad dates,
and Allah will not
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 443
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Perish the slave of Dinar, Dirham, Qatifa (thick
soft cloth), and Khamisa (a garment), for if he is given, he is

Volume 8, Book 76, Number 444
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I heard the Prophet saying, "If the son of Adam (the human being)
had two valley of money, he would wish for a third, for nothing can
fill the belly of Adam's son except dust, and Allah forgives him who
repents to Him."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 445
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "If the son of Adam had money equal
to a valley, then he will wish for another similar to it, for
nothing can satisfy the eye of Adam's son except dust. And Allah
forgives him who repents to Him." Ibn 'Abbas said: I do not know
whether this saying was quoted from the Qur'an or not. 'Ata' said,
"I heard Ibn AzZubair saying this narration while he was on the
pulpit."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 446
Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:
I heard Ibn Az-Zubair who was on the pulpit at Mecca, delivering a
sermon, saying, "O men! The Prophet used to say, "If the son of Adam
were given a valley full of gold, he would love to have a second
one; and if he were given the second one, he would love to have a
third, for nothing fills the belly of Adam's son except dust. And
Allah forgives he who repents to Him." Ubai said, "We considered
this as a saying from the Qur'an till the Sura (beginning with) 'The
mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you..'
(102.1) was revealed."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 447
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "If Adam's son had a valley full of gold, he
would like to have two valleys, for nothing fills his mouth except
dust. And Allah forgives him who repents to Him."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 448
Narrated Hakim bin Hizam:
I asked the Prophet (for some money) and he gave me, and then again
I asked him and he gave me, and then again I asked him and he gave
me and he then said, "This wealth is (like) green and sweet (fruit),
and whoever takes it without greed, Allah will bless it for him, but
whoever takes it with greed, Allah will not bless it for him, and he
will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied. And the upper
(giving) hand is better than the lower (taking) hand."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 449
Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "Who among you considers the wealth of his heirs
dearer to him than his own wealth?" They replied, "O Allah's
Apostle! There is none among us but loves his own wealth more." The
Prophet said, "So his wealth is whatever he spends (in Allah's
Cause) during his life (on good deeds) while the wealth of his heirs
is whatever he leaves after his death."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 450
Narrated Abu Dhar:
Once I went out at night and found Allah's Apostle walking all alone
accompanied by nobody, and I thought that perhaps he disliked that
someone should accompany him. So I walked in the shade, away from
the moonlight, but the Prophet looked behind and saw me and said,
"Who is that?" I replied, "Abu Dhar, let Allah get me sacrificed for
you!" He said, "O Abu Dhar, come here!" So I accompanied him for a
while and then he said, "The rich are in fact the poor (little
rewarded) on the Day of Resurrection except him whom Allah gives
wealth which he gives (in charity) to his right, left, front and
back, and does good deeds with it. I walked with him a little
longer. Then he said to me, "Sit down here." So he made me sit in an
open space surrounded by rocks, and said to me, "Sit here till I
come back to you." He went towards Al-Harra till I could not see
him, and he stayed away for a long period, and then I heard him
saying, while he was coming, "Even if he had committed theft, and
even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse?" When he came,
I could not remain patient and asked him, "O Allah's Prophet! Let
Allah get me sacrificed for you! Whom were you speaking to by the
side of Al-Harra? I did not hear anybody responding to your talk."
He said, "It was Gabriel who appeared to me beside Al-Harra and
said, 'Give the good news to your followers that whoever dies
without having worshipped anything besides Allah, will enter
Paradise.' I said, 'O Gabriel! Even if he had committed theft or
committed illegal sexual intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Even
if he has committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?'
He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Even if he has committed theft or committed
illegal sexual intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' "
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 451
Narrated Abu Dhar:
While I was walking with the Prophet in the Harra of Medina, Uhud
came in sight. The Prophet said, "O Abu Dhar!" I said, "Labbaik, O
Allah's Apostle!" He said, "I would not like to have gold equal to
this mountain of Uhud, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar
of it remains with me for more than three days, except something
which I will keep for repaying debts. I would have spent all of it
(distributed it) amongst Allah's Slaves like this, and like this,
and like this." The Prophet pointed out with his hand towards his
right, his left and his back (while illustrating it). He proceeded
with his walk and said, "The rich are in fact the poor (little
rewarded) on the Day of Resurrection except those who spend their
wealth like this, and like this, and like this, to their right, left
and back, but such people are few in number." Then he said to me,
"Stay at your place and do not leave it till I come back." Then he
proceeded in the darkness of the night till he went out of sight,
and then I heard a loud voice, and was afraid that something might
have happened to the Prophet .1 intended to go to him, but I
remembered what he had said to me, i.e. 'Don't leave your place till
I come back to you,' so I remained at my place till he came back to
me. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I heard a voice and I was afraid."
So I mentioned the whole story to him. He said, "Did you hear it?" I
replied, "Yes." He said, "It was Gabriel who came to me and said,
'Whoever died without joining others in worship with Allah, will
enter Paradise.' I asked (Gabriel), 'Even if he had committed theft
or committed illegal sexual intercourse? Gabriel said, 'Yes, even if
he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse."

Allah Apostle said, "If I had gold equal to the mountain of Uhud, it

A man passed by Allah's Apostle and the Prophet asked a man sitting
beside him, "What is your opinion about this (passer-by)?" He
replied, "This (passer-by) is from the noble class of people. By
Allah, if he should ask for a lady's hand in marriage, he ought to
be given her in marriage, and if he intercedes for somebody, his
intercession will be accepted. Allah's Apostle kept quiet, and then
another man passed by and Allah's Apostle asked the same man (his
companion) again, "What is your opinion about this (second) one?" He
said, "O Allah's Apostle! This person is one of the poor Muslims. If
he should ask a lady's hand in marriage, no-one will accept him, and
if he intercedes for somebody, no one will accept his intercession,
and if he talks, no-one will listen to his talk." Then Allah's
Apostle said, "This (poor man) is better than such a large number of
the first type (i.e. rich men) as to fill the earth."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 455
Narrated Abu Wail:
We paid a visit to Khabbab who was sick, and he said, "We migrated
with the Prophet for Allah's Sake and our wages became due on Allah.
Some of us died without having received anything of the wages, and
one of them was Mus'ab bin 'Umar, who was martyred on the day of the
battle of Uhud, leaving only one sheet (to shroud him in). If we
covered his head with it, his feet became uncovered, and if we
covered his feet with it, his head became uncovered. So the Prophet
ordered us to cover his head with it and put some Idhkhir (a kind of
grass) over his feet. On the other hand, some of us have had the
fruits (of our good deed) and are plucking them (in this world)."

Volume 8, Book 76, Number 459
Narrated Abu Huraira:
By Allah except Whom none has the right to- be worshipped,
(sometimes) I used to lay (sleep) on the ground on my liver
(abdomen) because of hunger, and (sometimes) I used to bind a stone
over my belly because of hunger. One day I sat by the way from where
they (the Prophet and h is companions) used to come out. When Abu
Bakr passed by, I asked him about a Verse from Allah's Book and I
asked him only that he might satisfy my hunger, but he passed by and
did not do so. Then Umar passed by me and I asked him about a Verse
from Allah's Book, and I asked him only that he might satisfy my
hunger, but he passed by without doing so. Finally Abu-l-Qasim (the
Prophet ) passed by me and he smiled when he saw me, for he knew
what was in my heart and on my face. He said, "O Aba Hirr (Abu
Huraira)!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle!" He said to me,
"Follow me." He left and I followed him.
Then he entered the house and I asked permission to enter and was
admitted. He found milk in a bowl and said, "From where is this
milk?" They said, "It has been presented to you by such-and-such man
(or by such and such woman)." He said, "O Aba Hirr!" I said,
"Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Go and call the people of
Suffa to me." These people of Suffa were the guests of Islam who had
no families, nor money, nor anybody to depend upon, and whenever an
object of charity was brought to the Prophet , he would send it to
them and would not take anything from it, and whenever any present
was given to him, he used to send some for them and take some of it
for himself. The order off the Prophet upset me, and I said to
myself, "How will this little milk be enough for the people of
As-Suffa?" thought I was more entitled to drink from that milk in
order to strengthen myself, but behold! The Prophet came to order me
to give that milk to them. I wondered what will remain of that milk
for me, but anyway, I could not but obey Allah and His Apostle so I
went to the people of As-Suffa and called them, and they came and
asked the Prophet's permission to enter. They were admitted and took
their seats in the house.
The Prophet said, "O Aba-Hirr!" I said, "Labbaik, O Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "Take it and give it to them." So I took the bowl
(of Milk) and started giving it to one man who would drink his fill
and return it to me, whereupon I would give it to another man who,
in his turn, would drink his fill and return it to me, and I would
then offer it to another man who would drink his fill and return it
to me. Finally, after the whole group had drunk their fill, I
reached the Prophet who took the bowl and put it on his hand, looked
at me and smiled and said. "O Aba Hirr!" I replied, "Labbaik, O
Allah's Apostle!" He said, "There remain you and I." I said, "You
have said the truth, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Sit down and
drink." I sat down and drank. He said, "Drink," and I drank. He kept
on telling me repeatedly to drink, till I said, "No. by Allah Who
sent you with the Truth, I have no space for it (in my stomach)." He
said, "Hand it over to me." When I gave him the bowl, he praised
Allah and pronounced Allah's Name on it and drank the remaining milk.

Narrated Sa'd:
I was the first man among the Arabs to throw an arrow for Allah's
Cause. We used to fight in Allah's Cause while we had nothing to eat
except the leaves of the Hubla and the Sumur trees (desert trees) so
that we discharged excrement like that of sheep (i.e. unmixed
droppings). Today the (people of the) tribe of Bani Asad teach me
the laws of Islam. If so, then I am lost, and all my efforts of that
hard time had gone in vain.

Paradise and Hell were displayed in front of me in the direction of

He created it, He made it into one hundred parts. He withheld with
Him ninety-nine parts, and sent its one part to all His creatures.

Allah, he would not lose hope of entering Paradise, and had the

have any wealth, I will not withhold it from you (to keep for
somebody else); And (know) that he who refrains from begging others
(or doing prohibited deeds), Allah will make him contented and not
in need of others; and he who remains patient, Allah will bestow
patience upon him, and he who is satisfied with what he has, Allah
will make him self-sufficient. And there is no gift better and vast
(you may be given) than patience."
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 478
Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba:
The Prophet used to pray so much that his feet used to become
edematous or swollen, and when he was asked as to why he prays so
much, he would say, "Shall I not be a thankful slave (to Allah)?"
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 479
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Allah's Apostle said, "Seventy thousand people of my followers will
enter Paradise without accounts, and they are those who do not
practice Ar-Ruqya and do not see an evil omen in things, and put
their trust in their Lord.
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 480
Narrated Warrad:
(the clerk of Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba) Muawiya wrote to Al-Mughira:
"Write to me a narration you have heard from Allah's Apostle." So
Al-Mughira wrote to him, "I heard him saying the following after
each prayer: 'La ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la sharika lahu,
lahu-l-mulk wa lahuI-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli Shai-in qadir.' He
also used to forbid idle talk, asking too many questions (in
religion), wasting money, preventing what should be given, and
asking others for something (except in great need), being undutiful
to mothers, and burying one's little daughters (alive)."
