1823 - وعنه رضي الله عنه قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول : [ يتركون المدينة على خير ما كانت لا يغشاها إلا العوافي ( يريد عوافي السباع والطير ) وآخر من يحشر راعيان من مزينة يريدان المدينة ينعقان بغنمهما فيجدانها وحوشا حتى إذا بلغا ثنية الوداع خرا على وجوههما ] متفق عليه
1823. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "People will desert Al-Madinah in spite of it being in better condition except for wild beasts and birds. The Last Hour will happen upon two shepherds of the tribe of Muzainah. They will enter Al-Madinah driving their sheep but will find it full of wild beasts and would turn away. When they will arrive at the hill named Thaniyyat-ul-Wada` they will fall on their faces.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: According to some scholars like Al-Qadi `Iyad, this prophecy has already been fulfilled, when the caliphate was shifted from Al-Madinah to Syria and Mesopotamia, although Al-Madinah was superior to these places in every way, worldly or otherwise, scholars were in abundance and the people were well off. However, others say that the prophecy has not been fulfilled yet, and that it will be fulfilled shortly before the Day of Judgement; they hold this view because the conditions described in the narration have not taken place. This second view seems to be more correct.
1824 - وعن أبي سعيد رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [يكون خليفة من خلفائكم في آخر الزمان يحثو المال ولا يعده ] رواه مسلم
1824. Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "From your caliphs there will be one in the Last Days who will distribute wealth without counting it.''
[Muslim].
Commentary: Here the abundance of wealth during the time of a caliph has been prophesied. This also refers to the last days of the world.
1825 - وعن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ليأتين على الناس زمان يطوف الرجل فيه بالصدقة من الذهب فلا يجد أحدا يأخذها منه ويرى الرجل الواحد يتبعه أربعون امرأة يلذن به من قلة الرجال وكثرة النساء ] رواه مسلم
1825. Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "A time will come when a man will go about with alms from his gold and will not find anyone to receive it. One man will be seen being followed by forty women dependant upon him on account of the scarcity of men and excess of women.''
[Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith also reveals one of the prophecies of the Prophet (PBUH) which have not been fulfilled yet. One of them is that wealth will be abundant and females will greatly exceed the males in number. This may happen due to wars, when more males will be killed, or the birth rate of females may exceed that of the males.
1826 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال :[ اشترى رجل من رجل عقارا فوجد الذي اشترى العقار في عقاره جرة فيها ذهب فقال له الذي اشترى العقار خذ ذهبك إنما اشتريت منك الأرض ولم أشتر الذهب وقال الذي له الأرض إنما بعتك الأرض وما فيها فتحاكما إلى رجل فقال الذي تحاكما إليه : ألكما ولد ؟ قال أحدهما : لي غلام وقال الآخر : لي جارية . قال : أنكحا الغلام الجارية وأنفقا على أنفسهما منه وتصدقا ] متفق عليه
1826. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "A man bought a piece of land from another man, and the buyer found a jar filled with gold in the land. The buyer said to the seller: `Take your gold, as I bought only the land from you and not the gold.' The owner of the land said: `I sold you the land with everything in it.' So both of them took their case before a third man who asked: `Have you any children?' One of them said: `I have a boy.' The other said, `I have a girl.' The man said: `Marry the girl to the boy and spend the money on them; and whatever remains give it in charity.'''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This is the story of some people from the past, in which exemplary honesty, piety and the will to abstain from the doubtful property has been described. But as far as the law of Shari`ah is concerned, it appears that in the transaction of land, any buried treasure will not be included in the sale. It will be considered quite separately and apart from the sale of the land. If the previous owner says that the treasure belongs to him and he forgot to take it out, then it will be considered as his property and not the property of the buyer of the land. But if he shows ignorance about it, then it will be considered under the title of "Rikaz". In such a case, one-fifth of it goes to the public treasury and the rest to the owner of the land. Rikaz refers to any buried treasure which is discovered in any land.
1827 - وعنه رضي الله عنه أنه سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [كانت امرأتان معهما ابناهما جاء الذئب فذهب بابن إحداهما فقالت لصاحبتها إنما ذهب بابنك وقالت الأخرى إنما ذهب بابنك فتحاكما إلى داود صلى الله عليه و سلم فقضى به للكبرى فخرجتا على سليمان ابن داود صلى الله عليه و سلم فأخبرتاه فقال : ائتوني بالسكين أشقه بينهما فقالت الصغرى : لا تفعل رحمك الله هو ابنها فقضى به للصغرى ] متفق عليه
1827. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "There were two women, each had her child with her. A wolf came and took away the child of one of them. One woman said to her companion: `The wolf has taken your son.' The other said: `It has taken your son.' So both of them took the dispute to Prophet Dawud(David)(PBUH) who judged that the boy should be given to the older lady. Then they went to Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon)(PBUH) son of Dawud and put the case before him. Prophet Sulaiman said: `Give me a knife so that I may cut the child into two and give one half to each of you.' The younger woman said: `Do not do so; may Allah bless you! He is her child.' On that Prophet Sulaiman decided the case in favour of the younger woman.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon)(PBUH)went to the depth of the matter by wisdom bestowed by Allah and the power of decision using a device or a trick as a method of discovering the truth. He used this trick to discover the truth and not to evade it. Such a trick is not forbidden in the law and there is no doubt in its being permitted. However, those tricks which are used to avoid the law are a great sin for which the Jews are well-known. May Allah save us from such things.
1828 - وعن مرداس الأسلمي رضي الله عنه قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ يذهب الصالحون الأول فالأول ويبقى حثالة كحثالة الشعير أو التمر لا يباليهم الله بالة ] رواه البخاري
1828. Mirdas Al-Aslami (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The pious men will depart one after another, the dregs of people, like the sediment of barley or dates will remain; Allah will not raise them in value and esteem.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: The Hadith shows that the demise of the pious people is one of the signs of the nearness of the Day of Resurrection. It also shows that during the last days near the Day of Resurrection, pious persons will not remain and only the wicked people will inhabit the earth and the Day of Judgement will dawn on such bad people.
1829 - وعن رفاعة بن رافع الزرقي رضي الله عنه قال جاء جبريل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : ما تعدون أهل بدر فيكم ؟ قال : [ من أفضل المسلمين ] أو كلمة نحوها قال : وكذلك من شهد بدرا من الملائكة . رواه البخاري
1829. Rifa`ah bin Rafi` Az-Zuraqi (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Jibril (Gabriel) came to the Prophet (PBUH) and asked him: "How do you estimate among you those who participated in the battle of Badr?'' He replied, "They were the best of Muslims''(or he may have said something similar to that). Jibril said: "The same is the case with the angels who were at Badr.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: The Hadith highlights the superiority of those Companions, as well those angels, who participated in the battle of Badr against the forces of Kufr. The Qur'an confirms the fact that the angels fought along with Muslims in this historic battle.
1830 - وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ إذا أنزل الله تعالى بقوم عذابا أصاب العذاب من كان فيهم ثم بعثوا على أعمالهم ] متفق عليه
1830. Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them)said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "If Allah afflicts punishment upon a nation, it befalls the whole population indiscriminately and then they will be resurrected and judged according to their deeds.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: When Allah's punishment comes to pass, it does not distinguish between the upright and the wicked. However, the pious people will be saved from punishment after their death while the wicked ones will be punished in the Hell. May Allah save us from all types of punishments.
1831 - وعن جابر رضي الله عنه قال : كان جذع يقوم إليه النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم ( يعني في الخطبة ) فلما وضع المنبر سمعنا للجذع مثل صوت العشار حتى نزل النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم فوضع يده عليه فسكن
وفي رواية : فلما كان يوم الجمعة قعد النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم على المنبر فصاحت النخلة التي كان يخطب عندها حتى كادت أن تنشق
وفي رواية : فصاحت صياح الصبي فنزل النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم حتى أخذها فضمها إليه فجعلت تئن أنين الصبي الذي يسكت حتى استقرت قال : [بكت على ما كانت تسمع من الذكر ] رواه البخاري
1831. Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: There was a trunk of a date-palm tree upon which the Prophet (PBUH) used to recline while delivering Khutbah (sermon). When a pulpit was placed in the mosque, we heard the trunk crying out like a pregnant she-camel. the Prophet (PBUH) came down from the pulpit and put his hand on the trunk and it became quiet.
Another narration is: The Prophet (PBUH) used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday (to give the Khutbah). Then an Ansari woman or man said, "O Messenger of Allah! Shall we make a pulpit for you?'' He replied, "If you wish.'' So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, the Prophet (PBUH) sat on the pulpit [to deliver the Khutbah (sermon)] and the trunk of the date-palm on which he used to recline cried out as if it would split asunder.
Another narration is: It cried like a child and the Prophet (PBUH) descended (from the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quietened. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of Dhikr near it.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: Ibn Hajar said that there is evidence in this Hadith that Allah can endow inanimate objects with a special sense or feeling like that of animals. The Hadith also shows one of the numerous miracles of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).
1832 - وعن أبي ثعلبة الخشني جرثوم بن ناشر رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ إن الله تعالى فرض فرائض فلا تضيعوها وحد حدودا فلا تعتدوها وحرم أشياء فلا تنتهكوها وسكت عن أشياء رحمة لكم غير نسيان فلا تبحثوا عنها ] حديث حسن رواه الدارقطني وغيره
1832. Abu Tha`labah Al-Khushani (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah(PBUH) said, "Allah, the Exalted, has laid down certain duties which you should not neglect, and has put certain limits which you should not transgress, and has kept silent about other matters out of mercy for you and not out of forgetfulness, so do not seek to investigate them.''
[Ad-Daraqutni and others]
Commentary: According to Sheikh Al-Albani there is a break in the chain of this narration. He has given the details about it in his book. But some other scholars have declared it in the category of Hasan narrations. Even Imam An-Nawawi has termed it as Hasan. For details refer to Mustadrak Al-Hakim, Vol. 4: P. 115; Majma` Az-Zawaid, Vol. 7: P.75; Tirmidhi: Chapter relating to Dress, No. 1726; Ibn Majah: Book of Food: Chapter: Eating of Cheese and Butter No:3367; As-Sunan Al-Kubra by Al Baihaqi: Book of Sacrifice, Chapter: What has been said about hyena and fox.
According to Imam As-Sam`ani, this Hadith is very important, as the details of important things have been given here. Whosoever leads his life accordingly, will surely succeed in this life and the Hereafter.
1833 - وعن عبد الله بن أبي أوفى رضي الله عنه قال : غزونا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم سبع غزوات نأكل الجراد
وفي رواية : نأكل معه الجراد . متفق عليه
1833. `Abdullah bin Abu `Aufa (May Allah be pleased with them) said: We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) in seven expeditions, and we ate locusts.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: Locust is a type of insect that flies in huge groups, destroying all the plants and crops. This Hadith highlights the permissibility of eating locusts.
1834 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [لا يلدغ المؤمن من جحر مرتين ] متفق عليه
1834. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "A believer should not be stung twice from the same hole.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith makes it clear that if a Muslim faces a loss from some place, he should remain careful lest he may be deceived again and again.
1835 - وعنه رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ ثلاثة لا يكلمهم الله يوم القيامة ولا ينظر إليهم ولا يزكيهم ولهم عذاب أليم : رجل على فضل ماء بالفلاة يمنعه من ابن السبيل ورجل بايع رجلا سلعة بعد العصر فحلف بالله لأخذها بكذا وكذا فصدقه وهو على غير ذلك ورجل بايع إماما لا يبايعه إلا لدنيا فإن أعطاه منها وفى وإن لم يعطه منها لم يف ] متفق عليه
1835. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "There are three (types of) people with whom Allah will neither speak on the Day of Resurrection nor purify them(from sins) and there will be a painful chastisement for them: A person who has spare water in a desert and he refuses to give it to the traveller; a person who sells a commodity to another person after the afternoon prayer and swears by Allah that he has bought it at such and such price, and the buyer pays him accordingly though in reality it was not true; and a person who pledges allegiance to an Imam (leader)just for some worldly benefit, and then if the Imam bestows on him (something out of that) he fulfills his allegiance, and if does not give him, he does not fulfill it.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
1836 - وعنه رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ بين النفختين أربعون ] قالوا : يا أبا هريرة أربعون يوما ؟ قال : أبيت . قالوا : أربعون سنة ؟ قال : أبيت . قالوا : أربعون شهرا ؟ قال : أبيت . [ ويبلى كل شيء من الإنسان إلا عجب ذنبه فيه يركب الخلق ثم ينزل الله من السماء ماء فينبتون كما ينبت البقل ] متفق عليه
1836. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Between the two Blowing of the Trumpet there will be an interval of forty.'' The people said, "O Abu Hurairah! Do you mean forty days?'' He said, "I cannot say anything.'' They said, "Do you mean forty years?'' He said, "I cannot say anything.'' They said, "Do you mean forty months?'' He said, "I cannot say anything. The Prophet added: `Everything of the human body will perish except the last coccyx bone (end part of the spinal cord), and from that bone Allah will reconstruct the whole body. Then Allah will send down water from the sky and people will grow like green vegetables'.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
1. When Israfil blows the Trumpet the first time, by Allah's Leave, all those who are in the heavens and on earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah will. This will be the first Blowing. Then, it will be blown a second time, they will become alive and will emerge from their graves. These Blowings are known as the `Blowings of Fainting and Rising'. As regard the interval between these two Blowings, the narrator of the narration, Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him), could not say anything when he was asked about it; as he himself did not know it. But in other narrations the interval has been mentioned as forty years.
2. The earth eats away the whole body of humans except the bodies of the Prophets. However, only the end part of the spinal cord remains intact. How it remains intact is known to Allah, but from it mankind will be created again.
3. Bodies will rise from the earth as vegetation springs out from the earth after the rainfall.
1837 - وعنه رضي الله عنه قال بينما النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم في مجلس يحدث القوم جاءه أعرابي فقال : متى الساعة ؟ فمضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يحدث فقال بعض القوم سمع ما قال فكره ما قال وقال بعضهم بل لم يسمع حتى إذا قضى حديثه قال : [ أين السائل عن الساعة ؟ ] قال : ها أنا يا رسول الله قال : [ إذا ضيعت الأمانة فانتظر الساعة ] قال : كيف إضاعتها ؟ قال : [ إذا وسد الأمر إلى غير أهله فانتظر الساعة ] رواه البخاري
1837. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)reported: Once the Prophet (PBUH) was speaking to us when, a bedouin came and asked him: "When will the Last Day be?'' The Messenger of Allah (PBUH)continued his talk. Some of those present thought that he had heard him but disliked the interruption and the other said that he had not hear him. When the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) concluded his speech he asked, "Where is the one who inquired about the Last Day?'' The man replied: "Here I am.'' The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) replied, "When the practice of honouring a trust is lost, expect the Last Day.'' He asked: "How could it be lost?'' He replied, "When the government is entrusted to the undeserving people, then wait for the Last Day.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: Here a very important sign of the nearness of the Day of Judgement has been mentioned: The affairs of the world will be in the hands of wicked and undeserving people. The sinners and wicked people will become the leaders of the world. The preaching pulpits would also be occupied by people who would be greedy and ignorant.They will be devoid of piety and abstinence.
1838 - وعنه رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [يصلون لكم فإن أصابوا فلكم وإن أخطئوا فلكم وعليهم ] رواه البخاري
1838. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Your leaders will lead you in Salat (prayer). If they conduct it properly, you and they will be rewarded; but if they make mistakes you will earn the reward and they will be held responsible (for the mistakes).''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: In this narration, there is a mention of one of the signs of the nearness of the Day of Judgement: Muslims will be led in their prayers as well as worldly affairs by ignorant, undeserving rulers. Whoever offers prayers with them and behind them according to the Sunnah, then both of them will get the reward. Otherwise the reward will be established with the followers and the burden of the mistakes will be placed on the rulers' shoulders.
1839 - وعنه رضي الله عنه { كنتم خير أمة أخرجت للناس } قال : خير الناس للناس يأتون بهم في السلاسل في أعناقهم حتى يدخلوا في الإسلام . رواه البخاري
1839. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)said in the interpretation of the Ayah reported: "You are the best of peoples ever raised up for (the benefit of) mankind...'' (3:110): The best for mankind are those who bring them with chains round their necks till they embrace Islam (and thereby save them from the eternal punishment in the Hell-fire, and make them enter Jannah in the Hereafter).''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: This is in a way the explanation of the concerned Verse of the Qur'an. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) says: In this Verse those fighters have been named as the best of the Ummah who fight with the infidels whom they take prisoners and they ultimately accept Islam. Hence, they become a means of acceptance of Faith to them, and are entitled to more rewards from Allah.
1840 - وعنه رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ عجب الله عز و جل من
قوم يدخلون الجنة في السلاسل ] رواه البخاري
ومعناه : يؤسرون ويقيدون ثم يسلمون فيدخلون الجنة
1840. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)said: the Prophet (PBUH) said, "Allah marvels at those people who enter Jannah in chains.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: The meaning of this Hadith is also the same as the Hadith mentioned before it. This means that after taking captives, the Muslims inform them about the teachings of Islam so that after accepting Islam they may deserve Jannah, which is the ultimate success. Allah says, "And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Jannah, he indeed is successful.'' (3:185) This Hadith urges Muslims to call to Islam, it also urges those Mujahidun to invite their prisoners to Islam to save them from the chastisement of the Hell-fire.
1841 - وعنه رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم قال : [ أحب البلاد إلى الله مساجدها وأبغض البلاد إلى الله أسواقها ] رواه مسلم
1841. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)said: the Prophet (PBUH) said, "The dearest parts on the face of the earth near Allah are its mosques, and the most hated parts near Allah are its markets.''
[Muslim].
Commentary: The superiority of the mosques is self evident. People pray and worship Allah in the mosques and recitation of Qur'an goes on there. While in the market places people forget to remember Allah and indulge in such forbidden acts as fraud, lies and gossip. In fact, it is not the place itself which is disliked but the bad things which are bound to happen in it, they are not the places of choice and are not liked.
1842 - وعن سلمان الفارسي رضي الله عنه من قوله قال : لا تكونن إن استطعت أول من يدخل السوق ولا آخر من يخرج منها فإنها معركة الشيطان وبها ينصب رايته . رواه مسلم هكذا
ورواه البرقاني في صحيحه عن سلمان قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ لا تكن أول من يدخل السوق ولا آخر من يخرج منها فيها باض الشيطان وفرخ ]
1842. Salman Al-Farisi (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Do not, if you can help, be the first to enter the market and the last to leave it because it is an arena of Satan and the standard of Satan is set there.''
[Muslim].
There are other narrations with some variation in the wordings.
Commentary: It is disliked (Makruh) to frequently visit the markets, where there is overwhelming influence of the Satan. The more one goes there, the more will one be influenced by the temptations of the devil.
1843 - وعن عاصم الأحول عن عبد الله بن سرجس رضي الله عنه قال قلت لرسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : يا رسول الله غفر الله لك . قال : [ ولك ] قال عاصم فقلت له : أستغفر لك رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم ؟ قال : نعم ولك ثم تلا هذه الآية { واستغفر لذنبك وللمؤمنين والمؤمنات }
( محمد : 19 ) رواه مسلم
1843. `Asim Al-Ahwal said: `Abdullah bin Sarjis (May Allah be pleased with him) said to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH): "O Messenger of Allah! May Allah forgive all your sins!'' The Messenger of Allah (PBUH)said, "And yours also.'' `Asim reported: I asked `Abdullah: "Did the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) seek forgiveness for you?'' He replied: "Yes, and for you also.'' Then he recited the Verse: "Seek forgiveness for your sins and for the believing men and the believing women.'' (47:19)
[Muslim].
Commentary: Although the Prophet (PBUH) is free from sins, it is permissible, as a token of Allah's honour and care for him, to pray for his greater salvation and blessings. It is also in a way a method of paying respects to him. The Hadith also shows the noble character of the Prophet (PBUH) who used to reciprocate compliments and good deeds.
1844 - وعن أبي مسعود الأنصاري رضي الله عنه قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ إن مما أدرك الناس من كلام النبوة الأولي : إذا لم تستح فاصنع ما شئت ] رواه البخاري
1844. Abu Mas`ud Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "One of the admonitions of the previous Prophets which has been conveyed to people is that if you have no modesty, you can do whatever you like.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: This does not mean that doing everything is allowed for a shameless person. It is like giving an information that when a person loses the feeling of shame, then he does not mind doing anything. For this reasons the western nations intend to finish the feeling of shame and remorse among the Muslims, which is a landmark and a criterion of Islam. They want to do away with this criterion so that Muslims may indulge in shameless things happily. Unfortunately, the western people are succeeding in their designs and the Islamic social life is also tending to be shameless like its western counterpart.
1845 - وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم :[ أول ما يقضي بين الناس يوم القيامة في الدماء ] متفق عليه
1845. Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him)reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "The first matter concerning which people will be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be the matter of blood.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary: In another Hadith, it has been stated that on the Day of Judgement, the first thing about which people will be questioned will be As-Salat (the five daily prayers). There is no contradiction in the two narrations. Among the duties of Allah, the first thing to be reckoned would be As-Salat; while among the mutual right of humans, the first thing to be decided would be murder. From this narration the value of human life becomes very significant.
1846 - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ خلقت
الملائكة من نور وخلق الجان من مارج من نار وخلق آدم مما وصف لكم ] رواه مسلم
1846. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her)reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Angels were created from light, jinns were created from a smokeless flame of fire, and `Adam was created from that which you have been told (i.e., sounding clay like the clay of pottery).''
[Muslim].
Commentary: The angels are the creation of Allah which He created from light. Their bodies are so subtle that they can assume any form they like. The jinn are also an unperceptible creation of Allah. They have also been bestowed with such powers as are not possessed by humans. Satan also belongs to the jinn. Man has been created from sounding clay. The Hadith states the Great and the Perfect Powers of Allah that He can create whatever He likes from whatever He likes, and He can do whatever He wishes.
1861 - وعن أبي زيد عمرو بن أخطب الأنصاري رضي الله عنه قال : صلى بنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم الفجر وصعد المنبر فخطبنا حتى حضرت الظهر فنزل فصلى ثم صعد المنبر فخطب حتى حضرت العصر ثم نزل فصلى ثم صعد المنبر حتى غربت الشمس فأخبرنا ما كان وما هو كائن فأعلمنا أحفظنا . رواه مسلم
1861. Abu Zaid `Amr bin Akhtab Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah(PBUH) led us in the morning (Fajr) prayer and he ascended the pulpit and addressed us until it was the time for the Zuhr prayer. He then came down the pulpit and led us in Salat (prayer). Again he ascended the pulpit and addressed until it was the time for the `Asr prayer. He then again came down, led us in Salat and again ascended the pulpit and addressed us until sunset. He informed us of everything that lay hidden in the past and what will happen in the future; and the most learned amongst us is the one who has preserved it in his memory.
[Muslim].
Commentary: Future events refer to happenings and incidents which will occur near the end of the world prior to the Day of Resurrection.
1862. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who vows to obey Allah, should obey Him. But he who vows to disobey Allah, should not disobey Him.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: This Hadith makes it clear that if someone vows to do a righteous deed, he should keep his vow; but if he vows to commit a sin, he should break his vow.
1862 - وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت قال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم : [من نذر أن يطيع الله فليطعه ومن نذر أن يعصي الله فلا يعصه ] رواه البخاري
1862. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "He who vows to obey Allah, should obey Him. But he who vows to disobey Allah, should not disobey Him.''
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary: This Hadith makes it clear that if someone vows to do a righteous deed, he should keep his vow; but if he vows to commit a sin, he should break his vow.
1863 - وعن أم شريك رضي الله عنها أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم أمرها بقتل الأوزاغ وقال : [ كان ينفخ على إبراهيم ] متفق عليه
1863. Umm Sharik (May Allah be pleased with her)said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) ordered me to kill chameleon. He also said, "It blew (fire) on Prophet Ibrahim.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
1864 - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ من قتل وزغة في أول ضربة فله كذا وكذا حسنة ومن قتلها في الضربة الثانية فله كذا وكذا حسنة دون الأولي وإن قتلها في الضربة الثالثة فله كذا وكذا حسنة ]
وفي رواية : [ من قتل وزغا في أول ضربة كتب له مائة حسنة وفي الثانية دون ذلك وفي الثالثة دون ذلك ] رواه مسلم
قال أهل اللغة : الوزغ : العظام من سام أبرص
1864. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who kills a chameleon at the first blow, such and such number of good deeds will be awarded to him; whoever kills it at the second blow, such and such number of merits will be recorded for him. And if he kills it at the third blow, he will get such and such merits.''
Another narration is: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH)said, "If anyone kills a chameleon with the first blow, a hundred good deeds will be recorded for him; less than that will be recorded for him if he kills it at the second blow, and still less rewards will be recorded for him if he kills it at the third blow.''
[Muslim].
Commentary: Here, it is mentioned that the killing of a chameleon in one stroke is very commendable. Similar is the case of killing of other harmful insects and reptiles such as scorpions, and snakes. This shows that even a slight help in good or bad actions will be counted and rewarded or punished as the case may be. The matter of quantity is not so important, but the real thing is the intention and real motive. It could be that the chameleon did, in fact, blew fire on Ibrahim; or it could be that it simply refers to the chameleon's harmful nature to human beings. Allah knows better.
