Sayings of the Messenger احادیثِ رسول اللہ ﷺ

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: مَرِضْتُ عَامَ الفَتْحِ مَرَضًا أَشْفَيْتُ مِنْهُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ لِي مَالاً كَثِيرًا، وَلَيْسَ يَرِثُنِي إِلاَّ ابْنَتِي، أَفَأُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ؟ قَالَ: لاَ، قُلْتُ: فَثُلُثَيْ مَالِي؟ قَالَ: لاَ، قُلْتُ: فَالشَّطْرُ؟ قَالَ: لاَ، قُلْتُ: فَالثُّلُثُ؟ قَالَ: الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ، إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَذَرْ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَذَرَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ، وَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً إِلاَّ أُجِرْتَ فِيهَا حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِكَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أُخَلَّفُ عَنْ هِجْرَتِي؟ قَالَ: إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُخَلَّفَ بَعْدِي فَتَعْمَلَ عَمَلاً تُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللهِ إِلاَّ ازْدَدْتَ بِهِ رِفْعَةً وَدَرَجَةً وَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ حَتَّى يَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ أَقْوَامٌ وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أَمْضِ لأَصْحَابِي هِجْرَتَهُمْ وَلاَ تَرُدَّهُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ لَكِنِ البَائِسُ سَعْدُ ابْنُ خَوْلَةَ يَرْثِي لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ مَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ.

Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas narrated from his father, who said: "I fell ill during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah) with an illness bringing me to the brink of death. So Allah’s Apostle ﷺ came to visit me, and I said: 'O Apostle of Allah ﷺ! Indeed I have a great deal of wealth and no one will inherit me except my one daughter, so should I will all of my wealth?' He said: 'No.' I asked: 'Then two-thirds of my wealth?' He replied: 'No.' I asked: 'Then half?' He replied: 'No.' I said: 'Then a third?' He replied: 'One third and one third is too much. Indeed if you leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them in poverty begging from the people. Indeed, you do not spend anything except that you are rewarded for it, even the morsel of food you raise to your wife's mouth.'" He (Sa’d) said: "I asked: 'Will I be left behind from my emigration?' He said: 'You will not be left behind after me, and if you do deeds seeking pleasure of Allah, your rank will be raised. Perhaps you will remain until some people benefit from you and others will be harmed by you. O Allah! Complete the emigration of my companions and do not turn them on their heels. But the unfortunate Sad ibn Khawlah! Allah’s Apostle ﷺ grieved for him, he died at Makkah.

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الجَهْضَمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَهُوَ جَدُّ هَذَا النَّصْرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَشْعَثُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ وَالمَرْأَةُ بِطَاعَةِ اللهِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يَحْضُرُهُمَا الْمَوْتُ فَيُضَارَّانِ فِي الوَصِيَّةِ فَتَجِبُ لَهُمَا النَّارُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَلَيَّ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: {مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصَى بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ غَيْرَ مُضَارٍّ وَصِيَّةً مِنَ اللَّهِ}، إِلَى قَوْلِهِ، {ذَلِكَ الفَوْزُ العَظِيمُ}.

Narrated from Abu Hurairah (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: "Indeed a man, and a woman, perform deeds in obedience to Allah for sixty years, then death approaches them, and they wrong (others) in the will such that the Fire becomes warranted for them. “Then he recited: After payment of legacies he (or she) may have bequeathed or debts, without causing harm. This is a Commandment from Allah…. His saying: That is the magnificent success. (Ch:4, V:11-13)

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَبِيتُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ وَلَهُ مَا يُوصِي فِيهِ إِلاَّ وَوَصِيَّتُهُ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عِنْدَهُ.

Narrated from Ibn Umar (RA) that Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: "It is not correct for a Muslim man to spend two nights, having what he should will, without having his will written with him."

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ الهَيْثَمِ البَغْدَادِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى: أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: لاَ قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ كُتِبَتِ الوَصِيَّةُ وَكَيْفَ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ.

Talhah bin Musarrif said: "I said to Ibn Abi Awfa: Did Allah’s Apostle ﷺ leave a will?' He said: 'No' I said: 'How is the will written, and how was it implemented upon the people?' He said: He gave instruction to abide by Allah’s Book."'

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، وَهَنَّادٌ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الخَوْلاَنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ البَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ عَامَ حَجَّةِ الوَدَاعِ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَدْ أَعْطَى لِكُلِّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ، فَلاَ وَصِيَّةَ لِوَارِثٍ، الوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ، وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الحَجَرُ، وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ، وَمَنْ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ أَوْ انْتَمَى إِلَى غَيْرِ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ التَّابِعَةُ إِلَى يَوْمِ القِيَامَةِ، لاَ تُنْفِقُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا، قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلاَ الطَّعَامَ؟ قَالَ: ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ أَمْوَالِنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ: العَارِيَةُ مُؤَدَّاةٌ، وَالمِنْحَةُ مَرْدُودَةٌ، وَالدَّيْنُ مَقْضِيٌّ، وَالزَّعِيمُ غَارِمٌ.

Abu Ummah (RA) said: " I heard Allah’s Apostle ﷺ say during the sermon of the Farewell pilgrimage: 'Indeed Allah, Most Blessed and Most High, has assigned the right due to everyone deserving a right. So there is no will for an heir (afterwards), the child is for the bed, and for the adulterer is the stone, and their reckoning is with Allah, Most High. And As for him who traces himself to anyone other than his father, or connects himself to another than his master, then upon him is the continued curse of Allah until the Day of Judgment. The wife is not to spend from her husband's house except with her husband's permission.' They asked: 'O Allah’s Apostleﷺ! Not even food?' He said: 'That is the most virtuous of our wealth.' And he said: 'The borrowed is to be returned, the endowment is to be refunded and the debt is to be repaid, and the guarantor is responsible.'"

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَارِجَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ وَأَنَا تَحْتَ جِرَانِهَا وَهِيَ تَقْصَعُ بِجِرَّتِهَا، وَإِنَّ لُعَابَهَا يَسِيلُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعْطَى كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ، وَلاَ وَصِيَّةَ لِوَارِثٍ، وَالوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ، وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الحَجَرُ.

Narrated from Amr bin Kharajah (RA) that the Prophet ﷺ gave a sermon while sitting on his she-camel, and I was under the front of her neck, and she was chewing her curd, with her saliva dripping between my shoulders. I heard him saying: 'Indeed Allah, Most Blessed and Most High, has given the right due to everyone deserving a right. So there is no will for an heir, the child is for the bed, and for the adulterer is the stone.'"

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنِ الحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى بِالدَّيْنِ قَبْلَ الوَصِيَّةِ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ الوَصِيَّةَ قَبْلَ الدَّيْنِ.

Al-Harith narrated from Ali (RA) that the Prophet ﷺ judged that the debt should be paid before the will, and you people recite the will before the debt.

حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ الطَّائِيِّ قَالَ: أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ أَخِي بِطَائِفَةٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ، فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أَخِي أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ بِطَائِفَةٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ، فَأَيْنَ تَرَى لِي وَضْعَهُ، فِي الفُقَرَاءِ، أَوِ الْمَسَاكِينِ، أَوِ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ: أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَوْ كُنْتُ لَمْ أَعْدِلْ بِالمُجَاهِدِينَ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَعْتِقُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يُهْدِي إِذَا شَبِعَ.

Abu Habibah At-Ta'i said: "My brother willed a portion of his wealth to me. So I met Abu Ad-Darda (RA) and said: 'My brother has willed a portion of his wealth to me, so where do you suggest that I should give it- to the poor, the needy, or the Mujahidin in Allah's Cause?' He said: 'As for me, then I would not consider them equal to the Mujahidin. I heard Allah’s Apostle ﷺ saying: "The example of the one who frees a slave at the time of his death is that of the one who gives a gift when he is satisfied (fulfilled his needs)."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ، أَنَّ بَرِيرَةَ جَاءَتْ تَسْتَعِينُ عَائِشَةَ فِي كِتَابَتِهَا وَلَمْ تَكُنْ قَضَتْ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهَا شَيْئًا، فَقَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ: ارْجِعِي إِلَى أَهْلِكِ فَإِنْ أَحَبُّوا أَنْ أَقْضِيَ عَنْكِ كِتَابَتَكِ وَيَكُونَ لِي وَلاَؤُكِ فَعَلْتُ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ بَرِيرَةُ لأَهْلِهَا فَأَبَوْا، وَقَالُوا: إِنْ شَاءَتْ أَنْ تَحْتَسِبَ عَلَيْكِ وَيَكُونَ لَنَا وَلاَؤُكِ فَلْتَفْعَلْ، فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ابْتَاعِي فَأَعْتِقِي فَإِنَّمَا الوَلاَءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَشْتَرِطُونَ شُرُوطًا لَيْسَتْ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ؟ مَنْ اشْتَرَطَ شَرْطًا لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ، وَإِنْ اشْتَرَطَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.

Urwah narrated that Aishah (RA) told him that Barrirah (RA) came to her (Aishah) seeking her help for her writ of emancipation, and she had not yet paid anything for her writ of emancipation. So Aishah (RA) said to her: 'Go back to your owners, and if they are agreeable to my paying for your writ of emancipation and that your Wala (the right to inherit from you) will be for me, then I will do so." So Barrirah mentioned that to her owners and they refused. They said: "If she wants the reward for (freeing) you while the Wala is for us, then let her do it." So I mentioned that to Allah’s Apostle ﷺ and Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said: "Buy her, and then free her, for the Wala is only for the one who frees." Then Allah’s Apostle ﷺ stood and said: "What is the case of people who make conditions that are not in Allah's Book? Whoever makes a condition that is not in Allah's Book, then that is invalid, even if he were to make a condition a hundred times."
