Tag: Q n A, Bukhari

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When the Imam says ‘Amin’, then you should all say ‘Amin’, for the angels say
‘Amin’ at that time, and he whose ‘Amin’ coincides with the ‘Amin’ of the angels, all his past sins will
be forgiven.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to invoke Allah, saying, “Allahumma ighfirli khati’ati wa jahli wa israfi fi `Amri, wa
ma anta a-‘lamu bihi minni. Allahumma ighfirli hazali wa jiddi wa khata’i wa amdi, wa kullu dhalika
‘indi.”

Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet) said, “On Friday there is a particular time. If a Muslim happens to be
praying and invoking Allah for something good during that time, Allah will surely fulfill his request.”
The Prophet (ﷺ) pointed out with his hand. We thought that he wanted to illustrate how short that time
was.

at-Tufail bin `Amr came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! The tribe of Daus has
disobeyed (Allah and His Apostle) and refused (to embrace Islam), therefore, invoke Allah’s wrath for
them.” The people thought that the Prophet (ﷺ) would invoke Allah’s wrath for them, but he said, “O
Allah! Guide the tribe Of Daus and let them come to us.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to invoke Allah with the following invocation: ‘Rabbi-ghfir-li Khati ‘ati wa jahli wa
israfi fi `Amri kullihi, wa ma anta a’lamu bihi minni. Allahumma ighfirli khatayaya wa ‘amdi, wa jahli
wa jiddi, wa kullu dhalika’indi. Allahumma ighrifli ma qaddamtu wa ma akhartu wa ma asrartu wa ma
a’lantu. Anta-l-muqaddimu wa anta-l-mu’akh-khiru, wa anta ‘ala kulli shai’in qadir.’

The Jews used to greet the Prophet (ﷺ) by saying, “As-Samu ‘Alaika (i.e., death be upon you), so I
understood what they said, and I said to them, “As-Samu ‘alaikum wal-la’na (i.e. Death and Allah’s
Curse be upon you).” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Be gentle and calm, O `Aisha, as Allah likes gentleness in all
affairs.” I said, “O Allah’s Prophet! Didn’t you hear what they said?” He said, “Didn’t you hear me
answering them back by saying, ‘Alaikum (i.e., the same be upon you)?”

We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day (of the battle) of Al-Khandaq (the Trench). The
Prophet said, “May Allah fill their (the infidels’) graves and houses with fire, as they have kept us so
busy that we could not offer the middle prayer till the sun had set; and that prayer was the `Asr
prayer.”

When the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Sami’ al-lahu liman hamidah (Allah heard him who sent his praises to Him)”
in the last rak`a of the `Isha’ prayer, he used to invoke Allah, saying, “O Allah! Save `Aiyash bin Abi
Rabi`a; O Allah! Save Al-Walid bin Al-Walid; O Allah! Save the weak people among the believers; O
Allah! Be hard on the Tribe of Mudar; O Allah! Inflict years of drought upon them like the years (of
drought) of the Prophet (ﷺ) Joseph.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent a Sariya (an army detachment) consisting of men called Al-Qurra’, and all of them
were martyred. I had never seen the Prophet (ﷺ) so sad over anything as he was over them. So he said
Qunut (invocation in the prayer) for one month in the Fajr prayer, invoking for Allah’s wrath upon the
tribe of ‘Usaiya, and he used to say, “The people of ‘Usaiya have disobeyed Allah and His Apostle.”

that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was affected by magic, so much that he used to think that he had done something
which in fact, he did not do, and he invoked his Lord (for a remedy). Then (one day) he said, “O
`Aisha!) Do you know that Allah has advised me as to the problem I consulted Him about?” `Aisha
said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! What’s that?” He said, “Two men came to me and one of them sat at my
head and the other at my feet, and one of them asked his companion, ‘What is wrong with this man?’
The latter replied, ‘He is under the effect of magic.’ The former asked, ‘Who has worked magic on
him?’ The latter replied, ‘Labid bin Al-A’sam.’ The former asked, ‘With what did he work the magic?’
The latter replied, ‘With a comb and the hair, which are stuck to the comb, and the skin of pollen of a
date-palm tree.’ The former asked, ‘Where is that?’ The latter replied, ‘It is in Dharwan.’ Dharwan was
a well in the dwelling place of the (tribe of) Bani Zuraiq. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) went to that well and
returned to `Aisha, saying, ‘By Allah, the water (of the well) was as red as the infusion of Hinna, (1)
and the date-palm trees look like the heads of devils.’ `Aisha added, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to me and
informed me about the well. I asked the Prophet, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), why didn’t you take out the skin
of pollen?’ He said, ‘As for me, Allah has cured me and I hated to draw the attention of the people to
such evil (which they might learn and harm others with).’ ”
Narrated Hisham’s father: `Aisha said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was bewitched, so he invoked Allah
repeatedly requesting Him to cure him from that magic).” Hisham then narrated the above narration.
