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.

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.
1847 - وعنها رضي الله عنها قالت : كان خلق نبي الله صلى الله عليه و سلم القرآن . رواه مسلم في جملة حديث طويل
1847. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The conduct of the Prophet (PBUH) was entirely according to the Qur'an.
[Muslim in a long Hadith].
Commentary: This Hadith shows that the life of the Prophet (PBUH) and all modes of his actions were on the pattern given in the Qur'an. In his life we can observe the perfection of obedience to all the commands of the Qur'an. In fact, he was a living example of the Qur'an.
1848 - وعنها رضي الله عنها قالت قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ من أحب لقاء الله أحب الله لقاءه ومن كره لقاء الله كره الله لقاءه ] فقلت : يا رسول الله أكراهية الموت فكلنا يكره الموت ؟ قال : [ ليس كذلك ولكن المؤمن إذا بشر برحمة الله ورضوانه وجنته أحب لقاء الله فأحب الله لقاءه وإن الكافر إذا بشر بعذاب الله وسخطه كره لقاء الله وكره الله لقاءه ] رواه مسلم
1848. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him.'' I (`Aishah) said: "O Messenger of Allah! So far as the feelings of aversion against death is concerned, we all have this feeling.'' Thereupon he said, "I do not mean that. What I meant is that when a (true) believer is given the glad tidings of the Mercy of Allah, His Pleasures and His Jannah (at the time of death), he loves to meet Allah, and Allah also loves to meet him. When a disbeliever is given the news of the Torment of Allah and His Wrath (at the time of death), he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah also abhors to meet him.''
[Muslim].
Commentary: The glad tidings of Jannah are given to the believers and the bad news of punishment are given to the disbelievers at the time of death. So a believer starts longing to meet Allah as a result of the good news he receives at that time, and the disbeliever begins to wish that he may not die and, therefore, avoid Allah's punishment as a result of the bad news he receives at that time.
1849 - وعن أم المؤمنين صفية بنت حيي رضي الله عنها قالت : كان النبي صلى الله عليه
وسلم معتكفا فأتيته أزوره ليلا فحدثته ثم قمت لأنقلب فقام معي ليقلبني فمر رجلان من الأنصار رضي الله عنهم فلما رأيا النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم أسرعا فقال النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم : [ على رسلكما إنها صفية بنت حيي ] فقالا : سبحان الله يا رسول الله . فقال : [ إن الشيطان يجري من ابن آدم مجري الدم وإني خشيت أن يقذف في قلوبكما شرا أو قال شيئا ] متفق عليه
1849. Safiyyah bint Huyai (May Allah be pleased with him), the Mother of the Believers, said: I came to visit the Prophet (PBUH) while he was in the state of I`tikaf [(seclusion) in the mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan]. After having talked to him, I got up to return. The Prophet (PBUH) also got up with me and accompanied me a part of the way. At that moment two Ansari man passed by. When they saw him they quickened their pace. The Prophet (PBUH) said to them, "Do not hurry. She is Safiyyah, daughter of Huyai, my wife.'' They said: "Subhan Allah (Allah is free from imperfection)! O Messenger of Allah! (You are far away from any suspicion).'' The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Satan circulates in a person like blood (in the blood streams). I apprehended lest Satan should drop some evil thoughts in your minds.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: Even just a passing thought of some thing undesirable about the Prophet (PBUH) is dangerous for belief. In order to put an end to this evil suspicion, he stopped the two Companions and explained to them the situation. This was done lest the devil may create some doubt in the mind of the two Companions. The conclusion is that, if at any place there is some far fetched chance of creation of bad opinion about somebody, then it is necessary to give an explanation lest some doubt may arise in some body's mind. This is particularly essential for `Ulama', who should remain aloof from such occasions and places, lest the people may start doubting their integrity and piety.
1850 -
