Chapter 30: To drink in the drinking bowl of the Prophet (saws) - كتاب الأشربة
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d:
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ ذُكِرَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، فَأَمَرَ أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَدِمَتْ فَنَزَلَتْ فِي أُجُمِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ، فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى جَاءَهَا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ مُنَكِّسَةٌ رَأْسَهَا، فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْكَ. فَقَالَ " قَدْ أَعَذْتُكِ مِنِّي ". فَقَالُوا لَهَا أَتَدْرِينَ مَنْ هَذَا قَالَتْ لاَ. قَالُوا هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَاءَ لِيَخْطُبَكِ. قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَشْقَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ. فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَئِذٍ حَتَّى جَلَسَ فِي سَقِيفَةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ " اسْقِنَا يَا سَهْلُ ". فَخَرَجْتُ لَهُمْ بِهَذَا الْقَدَحِ فَأَسْقَيْتُهُمْ فِيهِ، فَأَخْرَجَ لَنَا سَهْلٌ ذَلِكَ الْقَدَحَ فَشَرِبْنَا مِنْهُ. قَالَ ثُمَّ اسْتَوْهَبَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَوَهَبَهُ لَهُ.
An Arab lady was mentioned to the Prophet (ﷺ) so he asked Abu Usaid As-Sa`idi to send for her, and he
sent for her and she came and stayed in the castle of Bani Sa`ida. The Prophet (ﷺ) came out and went to
her and entered upon her. Behold, it was a lady sitting with a drooping head. When the Prophet (ﷺ) spoke
to her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "I grant you refuge from me." They said
to her, "Do you know who this is?" She said, "No." They said, "This is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who has come
to command your hand in marriage." She said, "I am very unlucky to lose this chance." Then the
Prophet and his companions went towards the shed of Bani Sa`ida and sat there. Then he said, "Give
us water, O Sahl!" So I took out this drinking bowl and gave them water in it. The sub-narrator added:
Sahl took out for us that very drinking bowl and we all drank from it. Later on `Umar bin `Abdul
`Aziz requested Sahl to give it to him as a present, and he gave it to him as a present.

Chapter 30: To drink in the drinking bowl of the Prophet (saws) - كتاب الأشربة
Narrated `Asim al-Ahwal:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ قَدَحَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عِنْدَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَكَانَ قَدِ انْصَدَعَ فَسَلْسَلَهُ بِفِضَّةٍ قَالَ وَهْوَ قَدَحٌ جَيِّدٌ عَرِيضٌ مِنْ نُضَارٍ. قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ لَقَدْ سَقَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي هَذَا الْقَدَحِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا. قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِيهِ حَلْقَةٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَأَرَادَ أَنَسٌ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مَكَانَهَا حَلْقَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ لاَ تُغَيِّرَنَّ شَيْئًا صَنَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَتَرَكَهُ.
I saw the drinking bowl of the Prophet (ﷺ) with Anas bin Malik, and it had been broken, and he had
mended it with silver plates. That drinking bowl was quite wide and made of Nadar wood, Anas said,
"I gave water to the Prophet (ﷺ) in that bowl more than so-and-so (for a long period)." Ibn Seereen said:
Around that bowl there was an iron ring, and Anas wanted to replace it with a silver or gold ring, but
Abu Talha said to him, "Do not change a thing that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has made." So Anas left it as it
was.
I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) and the time for the `Asr prayer became due. We had no water with us except a
little which was put in a vessel and was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) . He put his hand into it and spread out
his fingers and then said, "Come along! Hurry up! All those who want to perform ablution. The
blessing is from Allah.'' I saw the water gushing out from his fingers. So the people performed the
ablution and drank, and I tried to drink more of that water (beyond my thirst and capacity), for I knew
that it was a blessing. The sub-narrator said: I asked Jabir, "How many persons were you then?" He
replied, "We were one-thousand four hundred men." Salim said: Jabir said, 1500.

Narrated `Aisha:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم

(the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "No calamity befalls a Muslim but that Allah expiates
some of his sins because of it, even though it were the prick he receives from a thorn."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a
Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for
that."

Chapter 1: Sickness is expiation for sins - كتاب المرضى
Narrated Ka`b:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ تُفَيِّئُهَا الرِّيحُ مَرَّةً، وَتَعْدِلُهَا مَرَّةً، وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ كَالأَرْزَةِ لاَ تَزَالُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ انْجِعَافُهَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ". وَقَالَ زَكَرِيَّاءُ حَدَّثَنِي سَعْدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، كَعْبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant, which the wind bends lt
sometimes and some other time it makes it straight. And the example of a hypocrite is that of a pine
tree which keeps straight till once it is uprooted suddenly.

Chapter 1: Sickness is expiation for sins - كتاب المرضى
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَىٍّ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ الْخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَتَتْهَا الرِّيحُ كَفَأَتْهَا، فَإِذَا اعْتَدَلَتْ تَكَفَّأُ بِالْبَلاَءِ، وَالْفَاجِرُ كَالأَرْزَةِ صَمَّاءَ مُعْتَدِلَةً حَتَّى يَقْصِمَهَا اللَّهُ إِذَا شَاءَ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever
direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again.
Similarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till Allah removes his
difficulties.) And an impious wicked person is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till Allah
cuts (breaks) it down when He wishes." (See Hadith No. 558, Vol. 9.)

Narrated `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي مَرَضِهِ وَهْوَ يُوعَكُ وَعْكًا شَدِيدًا، وَقُلْتُ إِنَّكَ لَتُوعَكُ وَعْكًا شَدِيدًا. قُلْتُ إِنَّ ذَاكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ أَجْرَيْنِ. قَالَ
" أَجَلْ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُصِيبُهُ أَذًى، إِلاَّ حَاتَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ، كَمَا تَحَاتُّ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ ".
I visited the Prophet (ﷺ) during his ailments and he was suffering from a high fever. I said, "You have a
high fever. Is it because you will have a double reward for it?" He said, "Yes, for no Muslim is
afflicted with any harm but that Allah will remove his sins as the leaves of a tree fall down."
I visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while he was suffering from a high fever. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You
have a high fever." He said, "Yes, I have as much fever as two men of you." I said, "Is it because you
will have a double reward?" He said, "Yes, it is so. No Muslim is afflicted with any harm, even if it
were the prick of a thorn, but that Allah expiates his sins because of that, as a tree sheds its leaves."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered us to do seven things and forbade us to do seven other things. He forbade us
to wear gold rings, silk, Dibaj, Istabriq, Qissy, and Maithara; and ordered us to accompany funeral
processions, visit the sick and greet everybody. (See Hadith No. 104)

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا، فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُنِي وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ، فَوَجَدَانِي أُغْمِيَ عَلَىَّ، فَتَوَضَّأَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَبَّ وَضُوءَهُ عَلَىَّ، فَأَفَقْتُ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي بِشَىْءٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ.
Once I fell ill. The Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr came walking to pay me a visit and found me unconscious.
The Prophet (ﷺ) performed ablution and then poured the remaining water on me, and I came to my senses
to see the Prophet. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What shall I do with my property? How shall I dispose
of (distribute) my property?" He did not reply till the Verse of inheritance was revealed.
Ibn `Abbas said to me, "Shall I show you a woman of the people of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"This black lady came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'I get attacks of epilepsy and my body becomes
uncovered; please invoke Allah for me.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to her), 'If you wish, be patient and you will
have (enter) Paradise; and if you wish, I will invoke Allah to cure you.' She said, 'I will remain
patient,' and added, 'but I become uncovered, so please invoke Allah for me that I may not become
uncovered.' So he invoked Allah for her."
Narrated 'Ata:
That he had seen Um Zafar, the tall black lady, at (holding) the curtain of the Ka`ba.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، مَوْلَى الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ
" إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ إِذَا ابْتَلَيْتُ عَبْدِي بِحَبِيبَتَيْهِ فَصَبَرَ عَوَّضْتُهُ مِنْهُمَا الْجَنَّةَ ". يُرِيدُ عَيْنَيْهِ. تَابَعَهُ أَشْعَثُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ وَأَبُو ظِلاَلٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "Allah said, 'If I deprive my slave of his two beloved things (i.e., his
eyes) and he remains patient, I will let him enter Paradise in compensation for them.'"
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal got a fever. I entered upon them and
asked, "O my father! How are you? O Bilal! How are you?" Whenever fever attacked Abu Bakr, he
would recite the following poetic verses: 'Everybody is staying alive among his people, yet death is
nearer to him than his shoe laces." And whenever the fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic
lines): 'Would that I could stay overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and
Jalil (two kinds of good smelling grass). Would that one day I would drink of the water of Majinna
and would that Shama and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me.' Then I came and
informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about that, whereupon he said, "O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or
more than we love Mecca. O Allah! Make it healthy and bless its Mudd and Sa for us, and take away
its fever and put it in Al Juhfa."

Usama bin Zaid said that while he. Sa`d and Ubai bin Ka`b were with the Prophet (ﷺ) a daughter of the
Prophet sent a message to him, saying. 'My daughter is dying; please come to us." The Prophet (ﷺ) sent
her his greetings and added "It is for Allah what He takes, and what He gives; and everything before
His sight has a limited period. So she should hope for Allah's reward and remain patient." She again
sent a message, beseeching him by Allah, to come. So the Prophet (ﷺ) got up. and so did we (and went
there). The child was placed on his lap while his breath was irregular. Tears flowed from the eyes of
the Prophet. Sa`d said to him, "What is this, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said. "This Is Mercy which Allah
has embedded in the hearts of whomever He wished of His slaves. And Allah does not bestow His
Mercy, except on the merciful among His slaves. (See Hadith No. 373 Vol. 2)

without his will." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then, yes, it is so."

During the ailment of the Prophet (ﷺ) some people came to visits him. He led them in prayer while sitting.
but they prayed standing, so he waved to them to sit down. When he had finished the prayer, he said,
"An Imam is to be followed, so when he bows, you should bow. and when he raises his head, you
should raise yours, and if he prays sitting. you should pray sitting." Abu `Abdullah said Al-Humaidi
said, (The order of ) "This narration has been abrogated by the last action of the Prophet (ﷺ) as he led the
prayer sitting, while the people prayed standing behind him.'
I became seriously ill at Mecca and the Prophet (ﷺ) came to visit me. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I shall
leave behind me a good fortune, but my heir is my only daughter; shall I bequeath two third of my
property to be spent in charity and leave one third (for my heir)?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I
bequeath half and leave half?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath one third and leave two thirds?"
He said, "One third is alright, though even one third is too much." Then he placed his hand on his
forehead and passed it over my face and `Abdomen and said, "O Allah! Cure Sa`d and complete his
emigration." I feel as if I have been feeling the coldness of his hand on my liver ever since.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ يُوعَكُ فَمَسِسْتُهُ بِيَدِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ تُوعَكُ وَعْكًا شَدِيدًا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَجَلْ إِنِّي أُوعَكُ كَمَا يُوعَكُ رَجُلاَنِ مِنْكُمْ ". فَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ لَكَ أَجْرَيْنِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَجَلْ ". ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُصِيبُهُ أَذًى مَرَضٌ فَمَا سِوَاهُ إِلاَّ حَطَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ كَمَا تَحُطُّ الشَّجَرَةُ وَرَقَهَا ".
I visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while he was suffering from a high fever. I touched him with my hand and
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You have a high fever." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Yes, I have as much fever as
two men of you have." I said, "Is it because you will get a double reward?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Yes,
no Muslim is afflicted with harm because of sickness or some other inconvenience, but that Allah will
remove his sins for him as a tree sheds its leaves."

Chapter 14: What should be said to a patient and what should be his answer - كتاب المرضى
Narrated `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي مَرَضِهِ فَمَسِسْتُهُ وَهْوَ يُوعَكُ وَعْكًا شَدِيدًا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّكَ لَتُوعَكُ وَعْكًا شَدِيدًا، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ لَكَ أَجْرَيْنِ. قَالَ
" أَجَلْ، وَمَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُصِيبُهُ أَذًى إِلاَّ حَاتَّتْ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ كَمَا تَحَاتُّ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ ".
I visited the Prophet (ﷺ) during his illness and touched him while he was having a fever. I said to him,
"You have a high fever; is it because you will get a double reward?" He said, "Yes. No Muslim is
afflicted with any harm, but that his sins will be annulled as the leave of a tree fall down."

Chapter 14: What should be said to a patient and what should be his answer - كتاب المرضى
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ " لاَ بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ". فَقَالَ كَلاَّ بَلْ حُمَّى تَفُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ كَيْمَا تُزِيرَهُ الْقُبُورَ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَنَعَمْ إِذًا ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered upon sick man to pay him a visit, and said to him, "Don't worry, Allah willing,
(your sickness will be) an expiation for your sins." The man said, "No, it is but a fever that is boiling
within an old man and will send him to his grave." On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then yes, it is so."
