Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said a sentence and I said another. He said, “Whoever dies while he is setting up rivals
along with Allah (i.e. worshipping others along with Allah) shall be admitted into the (Hell) Fire.”
And I said the other: “Whoever dies while he is not setting up rivals along with Allah (i.e.
worshipping none except Allah) shall be admitted into Paradise.”

I went along with some men from the Ash-ariyin to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and it happened that I met him
while he was in an angry mood. We asked him to provide us with mounts, but he swore that he would
not give us any. Later on he said, “By Allah, Allah willing, if ever I take an oath (to do something)
and later on I find something else better than the first, then I do the better one and give expiation for
the dissolution of my oath.”

When the death of Abu Talib approached, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to him and said, “Say: La ilaha
illallah, a word with which I will be able to defend you before Allah.”

My companions sent me to the Prophet (ﷺ) to ask him for some mounts. He said, “By Allah! I will not
mount you on anything!” When I met him, he was in an angry mood, but when I met him (again), he
said, “Tell your companions that Allah or Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) will provide you with mounts.”

I heard `Urwa bin Az-Zubair, Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab, ‘Alqama bin Waqqas and ‘Ubaidullah bin
`Abdullah bin `Uqba relating from `Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) the narration of the people (i.e. the
liars) who spread the slander against her and they said what they said, and how Allah revealed her
innocence. Each of them related to me a portion of that narration. (They said that `Aisha said), ”Then
Allah revealed the ten Verses starting with:–‘Verily! Those who spread the slander..’ (24.11-21)
All these verses were in proof of my innocence. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq who used to provide for Mistah
some financial aid because of his relation to him, said, “By Allah, I will never give anything (in
charity) to Mistah, after what he has said about `Aisha” Then Allah revealed:– ‘And let not those
among you who are good and are wealthy swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kins men….’
(24.22) On that, Abu Bakr said, “Yes, by Allah, I like that Allah should forgive me.” and then
resumed giving Mistah the aid he used to give him and said, “By Allah! I will never withhold it from
him.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The biggest sins are: To join others in worship with Allah; to be undutiful to one’s
parents; to kill somebody unlawfully; and to take an oath Al-Ghamus.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If somebody is ordered (by the ruler or the judge) to take an oath, and he takes a
false oath in order to grab the property of a Muslim, then he will incur Allah’s Wrath when he will
meet Him.” And Allah revealed in its confirmation: ‘Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the
cost of Allah’s covenants and their own oaths.’ (3.77) (The sub-narrator added:) Al-Ash’ath bin Qais
entered, saying, “What did Abu `Abdur-Rahman narrate to you?” They said, “So-and-so,” Al-Ash’ath
said, “This verse was revealed in my connection. I had a well on the land of my cousin (and we had a
dispute about it). I reported him to Allah ‘s Apostle who said (to me). “You should give evidence (i.e.
witness) otherwise the oath of your opponent will render your claim invalid.” I said, “Then he (my
opponent) will take the oath, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever is ordered (by the
ruler or the judge) to give an oath, and he takes a false oath in order to grab the property of a Muslim,
then he will incur Allah’s Wrath when he meets Him on the Day of Resurrection.”

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib that once he had a guest, so he told his
family (on the Day of Id-ul-Adha) that they should slaughter the
animal for sacrifice before he returned from the (‘Id) prayer in order
that their guest could take his meal. So his family slaughtered (the
animal ) before the prayer. Then they mentioned that event to the
Prophet who ordered Al-Bara to slaughter another sacrifice. Al-Bara’
said to the Prophet (ﷺ) , “I have a young milch she-goat which is better
than two sheep for slaughtering.” (The sub-narrator, Ibn ‘Aun used to
say, “I don’t know whether the permission (to slaughter a she-goat as
a sacrifice) was especially given to Al-Bara’ or if it was in general
for all the Muslims.”) (See Hadith No. 99, Vol. 2.)

I witnessed the Prophet (ﷺ) offering the `Id prayer (and after finishing it) he delivered a sermon and said,
“Whoever has slaughtered his sacrifice (before the prayer) should make up for it (i.e. slaughter another
animal) and whoever has not slaughtered his sacrifice yet, should slaughter it by mentioning Allah’s
Name over it.”

that Allah’s Prophet led them in the Zuhr prayer and he offered either more or less rak`at, and it was
said to him, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ! Has the prayer been reduced, or have you forgotten?” He asked,
“What is that?” They said, “You have prayed so many rak`at.” So he performed with them two more
prostrations and said, “These two prostrations are to be performed by the person who does not know
whether he has prayed more or less (rak`at) in which case he should seek to follow what is right. And
then complete the rest (of the prayer) and perform two extra prostrations.”
