GOOD MANNERS AND FORM AS A GOOD MUSLIM ii

8.184:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: While the Prophet was
distributing (war booty etc.) one day, Dhul Khawaisira, a man
from the tribe of Bani Tamim, said, "O Allah's Apostle! Act
justly." The Prophets said, "Woe to you! Who else would act
justly if I did not act justly?" `Umar said (to the Prophet ),
"Allow me to chop his neck off." The Prophet said, "No, for he
has companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of
(you compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider
his prayer inferior to theirs, and similarly his fasting
inferior to theirs, but they will desert Islam (go out of
religion) as an arrow goes through the victim's body (games
etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined nothing will be
seen thereon, and if its Nady is examined, nothing will be
seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is examined, nothing will be
seen thereon, for the arrow has gone out too fast even for the
excretions and blood to smear over it. Such people will come
out at the time of difference among the (Muslim) people and
the sign by which they will be recognized, will be a man whose
one of the two hands will look like the breast of a woman or a
lump of flesh moving loosely." Abu Sa`id added, "I testify
that I heard that from the Prophet and also testify that I was
with `Ali when `Ali fought against those people. The man
described by the Prophet was searched for among the killed,
and was found, and he was exactly as the Prophet had described
him." (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)
8.185:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah's Apostle and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! I am ruined!" The Prophet said, "Waihaka
(May Allah be merciful to you) !" The man said, "I have done
sexual intercourse with my wife while fasting in Ramadan." The
Prophet said, "Manumit a slave." The man said, " I cannot
afford that. " The Prophet said; "Then fast for two successive
months." The man said, " I have no power to do so." The
Prophet said, "Then feed sixty poor persons." The man said, "I
have nothing (to feed sixty persons). Later a basket full of
dates were brought to the Prophet and he said (to the man),
"Take it and give it in charity." The man said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Shall I give it to people other than my family? By
Him in Whose Hand my life is, there is nobody poorer than me
in the whole city of Medina." The Prophet smiled till his
premolar teeth became visible, and said, "Take it." Az−Zuhri
said (that the Prophet said). "Wailaka."
8.186:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: A bedouin said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Inform me about the emigration." The Prophet said,
"Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you)! The question of
emigration is a difficult one. Have you got some camels?" The
bedouin said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Do you pay their
Zakat?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Go on doing like
this from beyond the seas, for Allah will not let your deeds
go in vain."
8.187:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet said, "Wailakum" (woe to you)
or "waihakum" (May Allah be merciful to you)." Shu`ba is not
sure as to which was the right word. "Do not become
disbelievers after me by cutting the necks of one another."
8.188:
Narrated Anas:
A bedouin came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle!
When will The Hour be established?" The Prophet said, "Wailaka
(Woe to you), What have you prepared for it?" The bedouin
said, "I have not prepared anything for it, except that I love
Allah and H is Apostle." The Prophet said, "You will be with
those whom you love." We (the companions of the Prophet )
said, "And will we too be so? The Prophet said, "Yes." So we
became very glad on that day. In the meantime, a slave of
Al−Mughira passed by, and he was of the same age as I was. The
Prophet said. "If this (slave) should live long, he will not
reach the geriatric old age, but the Hour will be
established."
8.189:
Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet said, "Everyone will be with
those whom he loves."
8.190:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: A man came to Allah's Apostle
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! What do you say about a man who
loves some people but cannot catch up with their good deeds?"
Allah's Apostle said, "Everyone will be with those whom he
loves." 8.191:
Narrated Abu Musa: It was said to the Prophet; , "A man may
love some people but he cannot catch up with their good
deeds?" The Prophet said, "Everyone will be with those whom he
loves."
8.192:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: A man asked the Prophet "When will
the Hour be established O Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet .

love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "You will be
with those whom you love."
8.193:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle said to Ibn Saiyad "I
have hidden something for you in my mind; What is it?" He

with Allah's Apostle, and a group of his companions to Ibn
Saiyad. They found him playing with the boys in the fort or
near the Hillocks of Bani Maghala. Ibn Saiyad was nearing his
puberty at that time, and he did not notice the arrival of the
Prophet till Allah's Apostle stroked him on the back with his
hand and said, "Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?" Ibn
Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the
Apostle of the unlettered ones (illiterates)". Then Ibn Saiyad
said to the Prophets . "Do you testify that I am Allah's
Apostle?" The Prophet denied that, saying, "I believe in Allah
and all His Apostles," and then said to Ibn Saiyad, "What do
you see?" Ibn Saiyad said, "True people and liars visit me."
The Prophet said, "You have been confused as to this matter."
Allah's Apostle added, "I have kept something for you (in my
mind)." Ibn Saiyad said, "Ad−Dukh." The Prophet said, "Ikhsa
(you should be ashamed) for you can not cross your limits."
`Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allow me to chop off h is
neck." Allah's Apostle said (to `Umar). "Should this person be
him (i.e. Ad−Dajjal) then you cannot over−power him; and
should he be someone else, then it will be no use your killing
him." `Abdullah bin `Umar added: Later on Allah's Apostle and
Ubai bin Ka`b Al−Ansari (once again) went to the garden in
which Ibn Saiyad was present. When Allah's Apostle entered the
garden, he started hiding behind the trunks of the date−palms
intending to hear something from Ibn Saiyad before the latter
could see him. Ibn Saiyad was Lying on his bed, covered with a
velvet sheet from where his mumur were heard. Ibn Saiyad's
mother saw the Prophet and said, "O Saf (the nickname of Ibn
Saiyad)! Here is Muhammad!" Ibn Saiyad stopped his murmuring.
The Prophet said, "If his mother had kept quiet, then I would
have learnt more about him." `Abdullah added: Allah's Apostle
stood up before the people (delivering a sermon), and after
praising and glorifying Allah as He deserved, he mentioned the
Ad−Dajjal saying, "I warn you against him, and there has been
no prophet but warned his followers against him. Noah warned
his followers against him but I am telling you about him,
something which no prophet has told his people of, and that
is: Know that he is blind in one eye where as Allah is not
so."
8.195:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When the delegation of `Abdul Qais came
to the Prophet, he said, "Welcome, O the delegation who have
come! Neither you will have disgrace, nor you will regret."
They said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are a group from the tribe
of Ar−Rabi`a, and between you and us there is the tribe of
Mudar and we cannot come to you except in the sacred months.
So please order us to do something good (religious deeds) so
that we may enter Paradise by doing that, and also that we may
order our people who are behind us (whom we have left behind
at home) to follow it." He said, "Four and four:" offer
prayers perfectly , pay the Zakat, (obligatory charity), fast
the month of Ramadan, and give one−fifth of the war booty (in
Allah's cause), and do not drink in (containers called)
Ad−Duba,' Al−Hantam, An−Naqir and Al−Muzaffat."
8.196:

(perfidious person), a flag will be raised on the Day of

believer."

I never heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Let my father and
mother be sacrificed for you," except for Sa`d (bin Abi

and mother be sacrificed for you !" (The sub−narrator added,
"I think that was in the battle of Uhud.")
8.204:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: That he and Abu Talha were coming in
the company of the Prophet towards Medina), while Safiya (the
Prophet's wife) was riding behind him on his she−camel. After
they had covered a portion of the way suddenly the foot of the
she−camel slipped and both the Prophet and the woman (i.e.,
his wife, Safiya) fell down. Abu Talha jumped quickly off his
camel and came to the Prophet (saying.) "O Allah's Apostle!
Let Allah sacrifice me for you! Have you received any injury?"
The Prophet said, "No, but take care of the woman (my wife)."
Abu Talha covered his face with his garment and went towards
her and threw his garment over her. Then the woman got up and
Abu Talha prepared their she camel (by tightening its saddle,
etc.) and both of them (the Prophet and Safiya) mounted it.

A man among us begot a boy whom he named Al−Qasim. The people
said, "We will not call him (i.e., the father) by that Kuniya

of the Prophet . When the Prophet finished his job (with which
he was busy), he said, "Where is the boy?" Abu Usaid replied,
"We have sent him home." The Prophet said, "What is his name?"
Abu Usaid said, "(His name is) so−and−so. " The Prophet said,
"No, his name is Al−Mundhir." So he called him Al−Mundhir from
that day.
8.212:

take his place in the (Hell) Fire.

(i.e., ladies).
8.222:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet was the best of all the people in character. I had
a brother called Abu `Umar, who, I think, had been newly
weaned. Whenever he (that child) was brought to the Prophet
the Prophet used to say, "O Abu `Umar! What did Al−Nughair
(nightingale) (do)?" It was a nightingale with which he used
to play. Sometimes the time of the Prayer became due while he
(the Prophet) was in our house. He would order that the carpet
underneath him be swept and sprayed with water, and then he
would stand up (for the prayer) and we would line up behind
him, and he would lead us in prayer.
8.223:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: The most beloved names to `Ali was Abu
Turab, and he used to be pleased when we called him by it, for
none named him Abu Turab (for the first time), but the
Prophet. Once `Ali got angry with (his wife) Fatima, and went
out (of his house) and slept near a wall in the mosque. The
Prophet came searching for him, and someone said, "He is
there, Lying near the wall." The Prophet came to him while his
(`Ali's) back was covered with dust. The Prophet started
removing the dust from his back, saying, "Get up, O Abu
Turab!"
8.224:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The most awful
name in Allah's sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be
(that of) a man calling himself Malik Al−Amlak (the king of
kings).
8.225:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The most awful
(meanest) name in Allah's sight." Sufyan said more than once,
"The most awful (meanest) name in Allah's sight is (that of) a
man calling himself king of kings." Sufyan said, "Somebody
else (i.e. other than Abu Az−Zinad, a sub−narrator) says: What
is meant by 'The king of kings' is 'Shahan Shah.,"
8.226:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: That Allah's Apostle rode over a
donkey covered with a Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was
riding behind him. He was visiting Sa`d bin 'Ubada (who was
sick) in the dwelling place of Bani Al−Harith bin Al−Khazraj
and this incident happened before the battle of Badr. They
proceeded till they passed by a gathering in which `Abdullah
bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was before `Abdullah
bin Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were Muslims,
pagan idolators and Jews, and among the Muslims there was
`Abdullah bin Rawaha. When a cloud of dust raised by (the
movement of ) the animal covered that gathering, `Abdullah bin
Ubai covered his nose with his garment and said, "Do not cover
us with dust." Allah's Apostle greeted them, stopped,
dismounted and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam)
and recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that `Abdullah bin
Ubai bin Salul said to him, "O man! There is nothing better
than what you say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us
with it in our gatherings, but if somebody comes to you, you
can preach to him." On that `Abdullah bin Rawaha said "Yes, O
Allah's Apostle! Call on us in our gathering, for we love
that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing
one another till they were about to fight with one another.
Allah's Apostle kept on quietening them till all of them
became quiet, and then Allah's Apostle rode his animal and
proceeded till he entered upon Sa`d bin 'Ubada. Allah's
Apostle said, "O Sa`d! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?"
(meaning `Abdullah bin Unbar). "He said so−and−so." Sa`d bin
Ubada said, "O Allah's Apostle! Let my father be sacrificed
for you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to
you the Book, Allah sent the Truth which was revealed to you
at the time when the people of this town had decided to crown
him (`Abdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler. So when Allah had
prevented that with the Truth He had given you, he was choked
by that, and that caused him to behave in such an impolite
manner which you had noticed." So Allah's Apostle excused him.
(It was the custom of) Allah's Apostle and his companions to
excuse the pagans and the people of the scripture (Christians
and Jews) as Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient
when annoyed (by them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear
much that will grieve you from those who received the
Scripture before you.....and from the pagans (3.186) He also
said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish that if they
could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed.
.... (2.109) So Allah's Apostle used to apply what Allah had
ordered him by excusing them till he was allowed to fight
against them. When Allah's Apostle had fought the battle of
Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed among the chiefs of
the infidels and the nobles of Quraish, and Allah's Apostle
and his companions had returned with victory and booty,
bringing with them some of the chiefs of the infidels and the
nobles of the Quraish as captives. `Abdullah bin Ubai bin
Salul and the pagan idolators who were with him, said, "This
matter (Islam) has now brought out its face (triumphed), so
give Allah's Apostle the pledge of allegiance (for embracing
Islam.)". Then they became Muslims.
8.227:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Al−Harith bin Naufal: `Abbas bin `Abdul
Muttalib said, "O Allah's Apostle! Did you benefit Abu Talib
with anything as he used to protect and take care of you, and
used to become angry for you?" The Prophet said, "Yes, he is
in a shallow place of Fire. But for me he would have been in
the lowest part of the Fire."
8.228:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once the Prophet was on one of his
journeys, and the driver of the camels started chanting (to
let the camels go fast). The Prophet said to him. "(Take care)
Drive slowly with the glass vessels, O Anjasha! Waihaka (May
Allah be Merciful to you).
8.229:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet was on a journey and a slave named Anjasha was
chanting (singing) for the camels to let them go fast (while
driving). The Prophet said, "O Anjasha, drive slowly (the
camels) with the glass vessels!" Abu Qilaba said, "By the
glass vessels' he meant the women (riding the camels).
8.230:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet had a Had (a camel
driver) called Anjasha, and he had a nice voice. The Prophet
said to him, "(Drive) slowly, O Anjasha! Do not break the
glass vessels!" And Qatada said, "(By vessels') he meant the
weak women."
8.231:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: There was a state of fear in Medina.
Allah's Apostle rode a horse belonging to Abu Talha (in order
to see the matter). The Prophet said, "We could not see
anything, and we found that horse like a sea (fast in speed).
8.232:
Narrated `Aisha:
Some people asked Allah's Apostle about the fore−tellers.
Allah's Apostle said to them, "They are nothing (i.e.,
liars)." The people said, 'O Allah's Apostle ! Sometimes they
tell something which comes out to be true." Allah's Apostle
said, "That word which comes to be true is what a jinx
snatches away by stealing and then pours it in the ear of his
fore−teller with a sound similar to the cackle of a hen, and
then they add to it one−hundred lies."
8.233:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: That he heard Allah's Apostle
saying. "Then there was a pause in the revelation of the
Divine Inspiration to me. Then while I was walking all of a
sudden I heard a voice from the sky, and I raised my sight
towards the sky and saw the same angel who had visited me in
the cave of Hira,' sitting on a chair between the sky and the
earth."
8.234:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Once I stayed overnight at the house of
Maimuna and the Prophet was there with her. When it was the
last third of the night, or some part of the night, the
Prophet got up looking towards the sky and recited: 'Verily!
In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the
alternation of Night and Day, there are indeed signs for men
of u understanding.' (3.190) 8.235:
Narrated Abu Musa: That he was in the company of the Prophet
in one of the gardens of Medina and in the hand of the Prophet
there was a stick, and he was striking (slowly) the water and
the mud with it. A man came (at the gate of the garden) and
asked permission to enter. The Prophet said, "Open the gate
for him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise. "I
went, and behold! It was Abu Bakr. So I opened the gate for
him and informed him of the glad tidings of entering Paradise.
Then another man came and asked permission to enter. The
Prophet said, "Open the gate for him and give him the glad
tidings of entering Paradise." Behold! It was `Umar. So I
opened the gate for him and gave him the glad tidings of
entering Paradise. Then another man came and asked permission
to enter. The Prophet was sitting in a leaning posture, so he
sat up and said, "Open the gate for him and give him the glad
tidings of entering Paradise with a calamity which will befall
him or which will take place." I went, and behold ! It was
`Uthman. So I opened the gate for him and gave him the glad
tidings of entering Paradise and also informed him of what the
Prophet had said (about a calamity). `Uthman said, "Allah
Alone Whose Help I seek (against that calamity).
8.236:
Narrated `Ali:
We were with the Prophet in a funeral procession, and he
started scraping the ground with a small stick and said,
"There is none amongst you but has been assigned a place
(either) in Paradise and (or) in the Hell−Fire." The people
said (to him), "Should we not depend upon it?" He said: carry
on doing (good) deeds, for everybody will find easy such deeds
as will lead him to his destined place. He then recited: "As
for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah.."
(9
2.5)
8.237:
Narrated Um Salama: (One night) the Prophet woke up and said,
"Subhan Allah ! How many treasures have been (disclosed) sent
down! And how many afflictions have been descended! Who will
go and wake the sleeping lady−occupants up of these dwellings
(for praying)?" (He meant by this his wives.) The Prophet
added, "A well−dressed soul (person) in this world may be
naked in the "Hereafter." `Umar said, "I asked the Prophet,
'Have you divorced your wives?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Allahu
Akbar.' "
8.238:
Narrated Safiya bint Huyai: The wife of the Prophet that she
went to Allah's Apostle while he was in I`tikaf (staying in
the mosque) during the last ten nights of the month of
Ramadan. She spoke to him for an hour (a while) at night and
then she got up to return home. The Prophet got up to
accompany her, and when they reached the gate of the mosque
opposite the dwelling place of Um Salama, the wife of the
Prophet, two Ansari men passed by, and greeting Allah's
Apostle , they quickly went ahead. Allah's Apostle said to
them, "Do not be in a hurry She is Safiya, the daughter of
Huyai." They said, "Subhan Allah! O Allah's Apostle (how dare
we suspect you)." That was a great thing for both of them. The
Prophet then said, "Satan runs in the body of Adam's son (i.e.
man) as his blood circulates in it, and I was afraid that he
(Satan) might insert an evil thought in your hearts."
8.239:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mughaffal Al−Muzani: The Prophet
forbade the throwing of stones (with the thumb and the index
or middle finger), and said "It neither hunts a game nor kills
(or hurts) an enemy, but it gouges out an eye or breaks a
tooth."
8.240:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Two men sneezed before the Prophet.
The Prophet said to one of them, "May Allah bestow His Mercy
on you," but he did not say that to the other. On being asked
(why), the Prophet said, "That one praised Allah (at the time
of sneezing), while the other did not praise Allah."
8.241:
Narrated Al−Bara:
The Prophet ordered us to do seven (things) and forbade us
from seven (other things): He ordered us to pay a visit to the
sick, to follow funeral possessions, to say: May Allah be
merciful to you to a sneezer, − if he says: Praise be to
Allah, to accept invitation (invitation to a wedding banquet),
to return greetings, to help the oppressed, and to help others
to fulfill their oaths (provided it was not sinful). And he
forbade us from seven (things): to wear golden rings or golden
bangles, to wear silk (cloth), Dibaj, Sundus and Mayathir.
8.242:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah likes sneezing
and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises
Allah, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to
say: May Allah be merciful to you (Yar−hamuka−l−lah). But as
regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one must try one's best
to stop it, if one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan will laugh at
him."
8.243:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, " If anyone of you
sneezes, he should say 'Al−Hamduli l−lah' (Praise be to
Allah), and his (Muslim) brother or companion should say to
him, 'Yar−hamuka−l−lah' (May Allah bestow his Mercy on you).
When the latter says 'Yar−hamuka−llah", the former should say,
'Yahdikumul−lah wa Yuslih balakum' (May Allah give you
guidance and improve your condition).
8.244:
Narrated Anas:
Two men sneezed before the Prophet and he said Tashmit to one
of them, while he did not say Tashmit to the other. So that
man said, "O Allah's Apostle! You said Tashmit to that fellow
but you did not say Tashmit to me. "The Prophet said, "That
man praised Allah, but you did not praise Allah."
8.245:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah loves sneezing
but dislikes yawning; so if anyone of you sneezes and then
praises Allah, every Muslim who hears him (praising Allah) has
to say Tashmit to him. But as regards yawning, it is from
Satan, so if one of you yawns, he should try his best to stop
it, for when anyone of you yawns, Satan laughs at him."
