وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: «ثُمَّ يخلف قوم يحبونَ السمانة»
A version by Muslim on the authority of Abu Huraira says, “Then people who like plumpness will succeed them.” Muslim.
عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَكْرِمُوا أَصْحَابِي فَإِنَّهُمْ خِيَارُكُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَظْهَرُ الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَحْلِفُ وَلَا يُسْتَحْلَفُ وَيَشْهَدُ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُ أَلَا مَنْ سَرَّهُ بُحْبُوحَةُ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ ثَالِثُهُمْ وَمَنْ سَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ وَسَاءَتْهُ سيئته فَهُوَ مُؤمن»
`Umar reported God’s messenger as saying, “Honour my companions, for they are the best of you; then those who follow them immediately; then those who follow them immediately. Then falsehood will appear so that a man will swear oaths without being asked to do so, and give testimony Without being asked to do so. He who would like to get to the very middle of paradise must adhere to the community, for the devil is with a single person, but farther away from two. A man must not be alone with a woman, for the devil makes a third along with them. He who is pleased by his good deeds and vexed by his evil gives various explanations of this, including unjustified pride, unjustified claims to nobility, acquisition of wealth, elaborate food and drink, neglect of religious duties. It is obviously some unsatisfactory characteristic which is intended. The various meanings suggested might be combined by treating it as meaning fine living which leads to neglect of religion deeds is a believer.” …transmitted it. The source is omitted in the Mishkat . Mirqat , 5:521, says it is rendered by Nasai. I have not discovered it in Nasai, but there is a version of the tradition containing the various details but differing slightly in wording in Tirmidhi, Fitan , 7.
وَعَنْ جَابِرٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تَمَسُّ النَّارُ مُسْلِمًا رَآنِي أَو رأى من رَآنِي» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Jabir reported the Prophet as saying, “Hell will not touch a Muslim who has seen me or seen one who has seen me.” Tirmidhi transmitted it.
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُ اللَّهَ فِي أَصْحَابِي لَا تَتَّخِذُوهُمْ غَرَضًا مِنْ بَعْدِي فَمَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ فَبِحُبِّي أَحَبَّهُمْ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَهُمْ فَبِبُغْضِي أَبْغَضَهُمْ وَمَنْ آذَاهُمْ فَقَدْ آذَانِي وَمَنْ آذَانِي فَقَدْ آذَى اللَّهَ وَمَنْ آذَى اللَّهَ فَيُوشِكُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيث غَرِيب
`Abdallah b. Mughaffal reported God’s messenger as saying, “Fear God regarding my companions, fear God regarding my companions, and do not make them a target[*] after I am gone. He who loves them does so from love of me, and he who hates them does so from hatred of me. He who injures them has injured me, he who injures me has injured God, and he who injures God will soon be punished by Him.” *This refers to criticizing them and speaking evil of them. Tirmidhi transmitted it,saying this is a gharib tradition.
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَثَلُ أَصْحَابِي فِي أُمَّتِي كَالْمِلْحِ فِي الطَّعَامِ لَا يَصْلُحُ الطَّعَامُ إِلَّا بِالْمِلْحِ» قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ مِلْحُنَا فَكَيْفَ نصلح؟ رَوَاهُ فِي «شرح السّنة»
Anas reported God’s messenger as saying, “Among my people my companions are like salt in food, for food is good only when there is salt in it.” Al-Hasan[*] said, “Our salt has gone, so how can we be good?” *i.e., Al Hasan al Basri. It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna .
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ للَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي يَمُوتُ بِأَرْضٍ إِلَّا بُعِثَ قَائِدًا وَنُورًا لَهُمْ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَذُكِرَ حَدِيثَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ «لَا يُبَلِّغُنِي أَحَدٌ» فِي بَاب «حفظ اللِّسَان»

Ibn `Umar reported God’s messenger as saying, “When you see people who revile my companions say, ‘God’s curse be on your worst ones’.” Tirmidhi transmitted it.
وَعَن عمر بن الْخطاب قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ” سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي عَنِ اخْتِلَافِ أَصْحَابِي مِنْ بَعْدِي فَأَوْحَى إِلَيَّ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَكَ عِنْدِي بِمَنْزِلَةِ النُّجُومِ فِي السَّمَاءِ بَعْضُهَا أَقْوَى مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَلِكُلٍّ نُورٌ فَمَنْ أَخَذَ بِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا هُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنِ اخْتِلَافِهِمْ فَهُوَ عِنْدِي عَلَى هُدًى ” قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَصْحَابِي كَالنُّجُومِ فَبِأَيِّهِمُ اقْتَدَيْتُمْ اهْتَدَيْتُمْ» . رَوَاهُ رزين
`Umar b. al-Khattab told he heard God’s messenger say he had asked his Lord about disagreement among his companions after his death and received the revelation, “Your companions, Muhammad, are in my estimation in the position of the stars in the sky, some stronger than others, but all having light. So, I consider him who holds to anything about which they disagree to be rightly guided.” He also told that God’s messenger said, “My companions are like the stars, so whichever of them you copy, you will be guided.” Razin transmitted it.
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ أَمَنِّ النَّاسِ عَلَيَّ فِي صُحْبَتِهِ وَمَالِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ – وَعِنْدَ الْبُخَارِيِّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ – وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَلَكِنْ أُخُوَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَوَدَّتُهُ لَا تُبْقَيَنَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَوْخَةٌ إِلَّا خَوْخَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ» . وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: «لَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا غَيْرَ رَبِّي لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported the Prophet as saying, “The one who has been most generous to me with his companionship and property is Ab Bakr[*], and if I were to take a friend I would take Abu Bakr as a friend, but we have the brotherhood and love of Islam. No opening into the mosque must be left but that of Abu Bakr.” A version has “If I were to take a friend other than my Lord, I would take Abu Bakr as a friend.” *After giving Abu Bakr with the nominative, it says Bukhari read Aba Bakr. That would be more usual, as it follows inna , but see p.18. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ يُرِدْ هَوَانَ قُرَيْشٍ أَهَانَهُ الله» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
