Revelation

Volume 1, Book 1, Number 1:

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."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume
1, Book 1, Number 2:
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).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume
1, Book 1, Number 3:
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."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume
1, Book 1, Number 4:
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."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume
1, Book 1, Number 5:
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).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume
1, Book 1, Number 6:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:

Abu Sufyan bin
Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been
accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham
(Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when Allah's Apostle had
truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions
went to Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he
had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for his translator
who, translating Heraclius's question said to them, "Who amongst you is closely
related to that man who claims to be a Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the
nearest relative to him (amongst the group)."

Heraclius said, "Bring him
(Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan
added, Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put
some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie
they (my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah! Had I
not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the
truth about the Prophet. The first question he asked me about him was:

'What is his family status amongst you?'

I replied, 'He belongs
to a good (noble) family amongst us.'

Heraclius further asked, 'Has
anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?'

I replied, 'No.'

He said, 'Was anybody amongst his ancestors a
king?'

I replied, 'No.'

Heraclius asked, 'Do the nobles or the
poor follow him?'

I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.'

He
said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?'

I replied,
'They are increasing.'

He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst those who
embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?'

I replied, 'No.'

Heraclius said, 'Have you ever accused him of
telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?'

I replied, 'No. '

Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?'

I replied, 'No. We
are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in it.' I could not
find opportunity to say anything against him except that.

Heraclius
asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?'

I replied, 'Yes.'

Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?'

I replied,
'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.'

Heraclius said, 'What
does he order you to do?'

I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and
Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that
our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste
and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.'

Heraclius asked the
translator to convey to me the following, I asked you about his family and your
reply was that he belonged to a very noble family. In fact all the Apostles come
from noble families amongst their respective peoples. I questioned you whether
anybody else amongst you claimed such a thing, your reply was in the negative.
If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man
was following the previous man's statement. Then I asked you whether anyone of
his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative, and if it had been in
the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his
ancestral kingdom.

I further asked whether he was ever accused of
telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. So
I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a
lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed him or the
poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the
Apostle have been followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you
whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were
increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is complete in
all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after
embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply
was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when its
delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I asked you whether he
had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and likewise the Apostles never
betray. Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered
you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him
and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and
to be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this place
underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was going to
appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him
definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would
certainly wash his feet.' Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by
Allah's Apostle

which was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra,
who forwarded it to Heraclius to read. The contents of the letter were as
follows: "In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is)
from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of
Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite
you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double
your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a
sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah's
Statement

'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and
us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with
Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they
turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to
Allah).' (3:64).

Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his
speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal
Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the
question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet Muhammad) has become so prominent that
even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to
become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till
I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it)."

The sub narrator adds,
"Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya' (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head
of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was
visiting ilya' (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of
his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an
astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the
leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror).
Who are they who practice circumcision?' The people replied, 'Except the Jews
nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews).

'Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.'

While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan
to convey the news of Allah's Apostle to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard
the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger
of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he
was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger
replied, 'Arabs also practice circumcision.'

(After hearing that)
Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the 'Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then
wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge.
Heraclius then left for Homs. (a town in Syrian and stayed there till he
received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his
opinion about the emergence of the Prophet and the fact that he was a Prophet.
On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his
palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace
be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If success is your desire
and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge
of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).'

(On hearing the
views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers
but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and
when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be
brought back in audience.

(When they returned) he said, 'What already
said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The
people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end
of Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith).

Once'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz delayed the
prayer and 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair went to him and said, "Once in 'Iraq, Al-MughTra
bin Shu'ba delayed his prayers and Abi Mas'ud Al-Ansari went to him and said, 'O
Mughira! What is this? Don't you know that once Gabriel came and offered the
prayer (Fajr prayer) and Allah's Apostle prayed too, then he prayed again (Zuhr
prayer) and so did Allah's Apostle and again he prayed ('Asr prayers and Allah's
Apostle did the same; again he prayed (Maghrib-prayer) and so did Allah's
Apostle and again prayed ('Isha prayer) and so did Allah's Apostle and (Gabriel)
said, 'I was ordered to do so (to demonstrate the prayers prescribed to you)?'"

to it our people whom we have left behind (at home)." The Prophet said, " I
order you to do four things and forbid you from four things. (The first four are
as follows):

1. To believe in Allah. (And then he: explained it to them
i.e.) to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and

afflictions caused for a man by his wife, money, children and neighbor are
expiated by his prayers, fasting, charity and by enjoining (what is good) and
forbidding (what is evil).' 'Umar said, 'I did not mean that but I asked about
that affliction which will spread like the waves of the sea.' I (Hudhaifa) said,
'O leader of the faithful believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a
closed door between you and it.' 'Umar asked, Will the door be broken or
opened?' I replied, 'It will be broken.' 'Umar said, 'Then it will never be
closed again.' I was asked whether 'Umar knew that door. I replied that he knew
it as one knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated
a Hadith that was free from any mis-statement" The subnarrator added that they
deputed Masruq to ask Hudhaifa (about the door). Hudhaifa said, "The door was

first one at mid-day when the sun had just declined The Asr prayer at a time
when after the prayer, a man could go to the house at the farthest place in
Medina (and arrive) while the sun was still hot. (I forgot about the Maghrib
prayer). The Prophet Loved to delay the 'Isha which you call Al- Atama and he
disliked sleeping before it and speaking after it. After the Fajr prayer he used
to leave when a man could recognize the one sitting beside him and he used to
recite between 60 to 100 Ayat (in the Fajr prayer) .

overwhelm him and he might miss the prayer, and sometimes he used to sleep
before the 'Isha' prayer. Ibn Juraij said, "I said to 'Ata', 'I heard Ibn 'Abbas

the people slept and got up and slept again and got up again. Then 'Umar bin

'Ibn 'Abbas said: The Prophet came out as if I was looking at him at this time,
and water was trickling from his head and he was putting his hand on his head
and then said, 'Hadn't I thought it hard for my followers, I would have ordered
them to pray ('Isha' prayer) at this time.' I asked 'Ata' for further
information, how the Prophet had kept his hand on his head as he was told by Ibn
'Abbas. 'Ata' separated his fingers slightly and put their tips on the side of
the head, brought the fingers downwards approximating them till the thumb
touched the lobe of the ear at the side of the temple and the beard on the face.
He neither slowed nor hurried in this action but he acted like that. The Prophet
said: "Hadn't I thought it hard for my followers I would have ordered them to
pray at this time."

Bakr took three men and the Prophet took ten of them."

'Abdur Rahman
added, my father my mother and I were there (in the house). (The sub-narrator is
in doubt whether 'Abdur Rahman also said, 'My wife and our servant who was
common for both my house and Abu Bakr's house). Abu Bakr took his supper with
the Prophet and remained there till the 'Isha' prayer was offered. Abu Bakr went
back and stayed with the Prophet till the Prophet took his meal and then Abu
Bakr returned to his house after a long portion of the night had passed. Abu
Bakr's wife said, 'What detained you from your guests (or guest)?' He said,
'Have you not served them yet?' She said, 'They refused to eat until you come.
The food was served for them but they refused." 'Abdur Rahman added, "I went
away and hid myself (being afraid of Abu Bakr) and in the meantime he (Abu Bakr)
called me, 'O Ghunthar (a harsh word)!' and also called me bad names and abused
me and then said (to his family), 'Eat. No welcome for you.' Then (the supper
was served). Abu Bakr took an oath that he would not eat that food. The narrator
added: By Allah, whenever any one of us (myself and the guests of Suffa
companions) took anything from the food, it increased from underneath. We all
ate to our fill and the food was more than it was before its serving.

Abu Bakr looked at it (the food) and found it as it was before serving
or even more than that. He addressed his wife (saying) 'O the sister of Bani
Firas! What is this?' She said, 'O the pleasure of my eyes! The food is now
three times more than it was before.' Abu Bakr ate from it, and said, 'That
(oath) was from Satan' meaning his oath (not to eat). Then he again took a
morsel (mouthful) from it and then took the rest of it to the Prophet. So that
meal was with the Prophet. There was a treaty between us and some people, and
when the period of that treaty had elapsed the Prophet divided us into twelve
(groups) (the Prophet's companions) each being headed by a man. Allah knows how
many men were under the command of each (leader). So all of them (12 groups of
men) ate of that meal."

and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it and for
irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which
could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no
benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's
religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has revealed through

name (i.e. Abu-l Qasim). And whoever sees me in a dream then surely he has seen
me for Satan cannot impersonate me. And whoever tells a lie against me
(intentionally), then (surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."

Narrated Ash-Sha'bi:

Abu Juhaifa said, "I
asked Ali, 'Have you got any book (which has been revealed to the Prophet apart
from the Qur'an)?' 'Ali replied, 'No, except Allah's Book or the power of
understanding which has been bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or what is
(written) in this sheet of paper (with me).' Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What
is (written) in this sheet of paper?' Ali replied, it deals with The Diyya
(compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to the relatives of the victim),
the ransom for the releasing of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and
the law that no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for
the killing of (a disbeliever).

Narrated Abu Huraira:

In the year of the
Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of Khuza'a killed a man from the tribe of Bani
Laith in revenge for a killed person, belonging to them. They informed the
Prophet about it. So he rode his Rahila (she-camel for riding) and addressed the
people saying, "Allah held back the killing from Mecca. (The sub-narrator is in
doubt whether the Prophet said "elephant or killing," as the Arabic words
standing for these words have great similarity in shape), but He (Allah) let His
Apostle and the believers over power the infidels of Mecca. Beware! (Mecca is a
sanctuary) Verily! Fighting in Mecca was not permitted for anyone before me nor
will it be permitted for anyone after me. It (war) in it was made legal for me
for few hours or so on that day. No doubt it is at this moment a sanctuary, it
is not allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to uproot its trees or to pick up
its Luqatt (fallen things) except by a person who will look for its owner
(announce it publicly). And if somebody is killed, then his closest relative has
the right to choose one of the two-- the blood money (Diyya) or retaliation
having the killer killed. In the meantime a man from Yemen came and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Get that written for me." The Prophet ordered his companions to
write that for him. Then a man from Quraish said, "Except Al-Iqhkhir (a type of
grass that has good smell) O Allah's Apostle, as we use it in our houses and
graves." The Prophet said, "Except Al-Idhkhiri.e. Al-Idhkhir is allowed to be
plucked."

Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah:

Ibn
'Abbas said, "When the ailment of the Prophet became worse, he said, 'Bring for
me (writing) paper and I will write for you a statement after which you will not
go astray.' But 'Umar said, 'The Prophet is seriously ill, and we have got
Allah's Book with us and that is sufficient for us.' But the companions of the
Prophet differed about this and there was a hue and cry. On that the Prophet
said to them, 'Go away (and leave me alone). It is not right that you should
quarrel in front of me." Ibn 'Abbas came out saying, "It was most unfortunate (a
great disaster) that Allah's Apostle was prevented from writing that statement
for them because of their disagreement and noise. (Note: It is apparent from
this Hadith that Ibn 'Abbes had witnessed the event and came out saying this
statement. The truth is not so, for Ibn 'Abbas used to say this statement on
narrating the Hadith and he had not witnessed the event personally. See Fath
Al-Bari Vol. 1, p.220 footnote.) (See Hadith No. 228, Vol. 4).

Prophet was there with her during her night turn. The Prophet offered the 'Isha'
prayer (in the mosque), returned home and after having prayed four Rakat, he
slept. Later on he got up at night and then asked whether the boy (or he used a
similar word) had slept? Then he got up for the prayer and I stood up by his
left side but he made me stand to his right and offered five Rakat followed by
two more Rakat. Then he slept and I heard him snoring and then (after a while)
he left for the (Fajr) prayer.

People say that I have
narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet's narrations). Had it not been for two verses
in the Qur'an, I would not have narrated a single Hadith, and the verses are:

"Verily those who conceal the clear sign and the guidance which We have
sent down . . . (up to) Most Merciful." (2:159-160). And no doubt our Muhajir
(emigrant) brothers used to be busy in the market with their business (bargains)
and our Ansari brothers used to be busy with their property (agriculture). But I
(Abu Huraira) used to stick to Allah's Apostle contented with what will fill my
stomach and I used to attend that which they used not to attend and I used to
memorize that which they used not to memorize.

Volume

Narrated Ubai bin Ka'b:

The Prophet said,
"Once the Prophet Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked, "Who
is the most learned man amongst the people. He said, "I am the most learned."
Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him
(Allah). So Allah inspired to him "At the junction of the two seas there is a
slave amongst my slaves who is more learned than you." Moses said, "O my Lord!
How can I meet him?" Allah said: Take a fish in a large basket (and proceed) and
you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set out
along with his (servant) boy, Yusha' bin Nuin and carried a fish in a large
basket till they reached a rock, where they laid their heads (i.e. lay down) and
slept. The fish came out of the basket and it took its way into the sea as in a
tunnel. So it was an amazing thing for both Moses and his (servant) boy. They
proceeded for the rest of that night and the following day. When the day broke,
Moses said to his (servant) boy: "Bring us our early meal. No doubt, we have
suffered much fatigue in this journey." Moses did not get tired till he passed
the place about which he was told. There the (servant) boy told Moses, "Do you
remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish." Moses
remarked, "That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their
foot-steps, till they reached the rock. There they saw a man covered with a
garment (or covering himself with his own garment). Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir
replied saying, "How do people greet each other in your land?" Moses said, "I am
Moses." He asked, "The Moses of Bani Israel?" Moses replied in the affirmative
and added, "May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you
have been taught." Al-Khadir replied, "Verily! You will not be able to remain
patient with me, O Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has
taught me and which you do not know, while you have some knowledge which Allah
has taught you which I do not know." Moses said, "Allah willing, you will find
me patient and I will not disobey you in aught. So both of them set out walking
along the sea-shore, as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed
by them and they requested the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew
recognized Al-Khadir and took them on board without fare. Then a sparrow came
and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice in the sea.
Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased
Allah's knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the
sea with its beak." Al-Khadir went to one of the planks of the boat and plucked
it out. Moses said, "These people gave us a free lift but you have broken their
boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people." Al-Khadir replied, "Didn't I
tell you that you will not be able to remain patient with me." Moses said, "Call
me not to account for what I forgot." The first (excuse) of Moses was that he
had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and found a boy playing with other
boys. Al-Khadir took hold of the boy's head from the top and plucked it out with
his hands (i.e. killed him). Moses said, "Have you killed an innocent soul who
has killed none." Al-Kha,dir replied, "Did I not tell you that you cannot remain
patient with me?" Then they both proceeded till when they came to the people of
a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they
found there a wall on the point of collapsing. Al-Khadir repaired it with his
own hands. Moses said, "If you had wished, surely you could have taken wages for
it." Al-Khadir replied, "This is the parting between you and me." The Prophet
added, "May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more
patient to learn more about his story with Al-Khadir. "

A man came to the Prophet
and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What kind of fighting is in Allah's cause? (I ask
this), for some of us fight because of being enraged and angry and some for the
sake of his pride and haughtiness." The Prophet raised his head (as the
questioner was standing) and said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word (Islam)
should be superior, then he fights in Allah's cause."

I saw the
Prophet near the Jamra and the people were asking him questions (about religious
problems). A man asked, "O Allah's Apostle! I have slaughtered the Hadi (animal)
before doing the Rami." The Prophet replied, "Do the Rami (now) and there is no
harm." Another person asked, "O Allah's Apostle! I got my head shaved before
slaughtering the animal." The Prophet replied, "Do the slaughtering (now) and
there is no harm." So on that day, when the Prophet was asked about anything as
regards the ceremonies of Hajj performed before or after its due time his reply
was, "Do it (now) and there is no harm."

While I was going with
the Prophet through the ruins of Medina and he was reclining on a date-palm leaf
stalk, some Jews passed by. Some of them said to the others: Ask him (the
Prophet) about the spirit. Some of them said that they should not ask him that
question as he might give a reply which would displease them. But some of them
insisted on asking, and so one of them stood up and asked, "O Aba-l-Qasim ! What
is the spirit?" The Prophet remained quiet. I thought he was being inspired
Divinely. So I stayed till that state of the Prophet (while being inspired) was
over. The Prophet then said, "And they ask you (O Muhammad) concerning the
spirit --Say: The spirit -- its knowledge is with my Lord. And of knowledge you
(mankind) have been given only a little)." (17.85)
