counsel excluding the third person until you are with some other people too, for that would grieve
him."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَسَمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمًا قِسْمَةً فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهُ اللَّهِ. قُلْتُ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لآتِيَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهْوَ فِي مَلأٍ، فَسَارَرْتُهُ فَغَضِبَ حَتَّى احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ
" رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى مُوسَى، أُوذِيَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَبَرَ ".
One day the Prophet (ﷺ) divided and distributed something amongst the people whereupon an Ansari man
said, "In this division Allah's Countenance has not been sought." I said, "By Allah! I will go (and
inform) the Prophet." So I went to him while he was with a group of people, and I secretly informed
him of that, whereupon he became so angry that his face became red, and he then said, "May Allah
bestow His Mercy on Moses (for) he was hurt more than that, yet he remained patient."

The Iqama for the prayer was announced while a man was talking to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) privately. He
continued talking in that way till the Prophet's companions slept, and afterwards the Prophet (ﷺ) got up
and offered the prayer with them.

Chapter 51: Circumcision at an old age, and pulling out armpit hair - كتاب الاستئذان
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قُزَعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ الْخِتَانُ، وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ، وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ، وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ، وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said "Five things are in accordance with Al Fitra (i.e. the tradition of prophets): to be
circumcised, to shave the pelvic region, to pull out the hair of the armpits, to cut short the moustaches,
and to clip the nails.'
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said "The Prophet) Abraham circumcised himself after
he had passed the age of eighty years and he circumcised himself with
an adze."
Ibn 'Abbas was asked, "How old were you when
the Prophet (ﷺ) died?" He replied. "At that time I had been circumcised."
At that time, people did not circumcise the boys till they attained
the age of puberty. Sa'id bin Jubair said, "Ibn 'Abbas said, 'When the
Prophet died, I had already been circumcised. "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whoever among you takes an oath wherein he says, 'By Al-Lat and Al-`Uzza,'
names of two Idols worshipped by the Pagans, he should say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah; And whoever says to his friend, 'Come, let me gamble with you ! He should give something in
charity. " (See Hadith No. 645)

During the life-time of the Prophet (ﷺ) I built a house with my own hands so that it might protect me from
the rain and shade me from the sun; and none of Allah's creatures assisted me in building it.
Ibn `Umar said, "By Allah, I have not put a brick over a brick (i.e. constructed a building) or planted
any date-palm tree since the death of the Prophet." Sufyan (the sub narrator) said, "I told this narration
(of Ibn `Umar) to one of his (Ibn `Umar's) relatives, and he said, 'By Allah, he did build (something.'
"Sufyan added, "I said, 'He must have said (the above narration) before he built."

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ يَدْعُو بِهَا، وَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِئَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لأُمَّتِي فِي الآخِرَةِ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "For every prophet there is one (special
invocation (that will not be rejected) with which he appeals (to
Allah), and I want to keep such an invocation for interceding for my
followers in the Hereafter."

Chapter 1: For every Prophet there is one invocation surely granted - كتاب الدعوات
Narrated Anas:
وَقَالَ لِي خَلِيفَةُ قَالَ مُعْتَمِرٌ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ سَأَلَ سُؤْلاً ـ أَوْ قَالَ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ قَدْ دَعَا بِهَا ـ فَاسْتُجِيبَ، فَجَعَلْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ".
that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "For every prophet there is an invocation that
surely will be responded by Allah," (or said), "For every prophet
there was an invocation with which he appealed to Allah, and his
invocation was accepted (in his lifetime), but I kept my (this
special) invocation to intercede for my followers on the Day of
Resurrection."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is:
O Allah, You are my Lord, there is none worthy of worship except You. You have created me, and I am Your servant, and I am faithful to Your covenant and promise as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I admit my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.
(Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta, Khalaqtani wa ana `Abduka, wa ana `ala `ahdika wa wa`dika mastata`tu,
A`udhu bika min Sharri ma sana`tu, abu'u Laka bini`matika `alaiya, wa abu'u laka bidhanbi faghfir lee
fa innahu la yaghfiru adhdhunuba illa anta)
"
The Prophet (ﷺ) added. "If somebody recites it during the day
with firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of
Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will
be from the people of Paradise."
`Abdullah bin Mas`ud related to us two narrations: One from the Prophet (ﷺ) and the other from himself,
saying: A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on
him; whereas the wicked person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives
them away like this." Abu Shihab (the sub-narrator) moved his hand over his nose in illustration. (Ibn
Mas`ud added): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His slave than a
man who encamps at a place where his life is jeopardized, but he has his riding beast carrying his food
and water. He then rests his head and sleeps for a short while and wakes to find his riding beast gone.
(He starts looking for it) and suffers from severe heat and thirst or what Allah wished (him to suffer
from). He then says, 'I will go back to my place.' He returns and sleeps again, and then (getting up), he
raises his head to find his riding beast standing beside him."

Chapter 5: Lying on right side - كتاب الدعوات
Narrated Aisha:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً، فَإِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ عَلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْمَنِ، حَتَّى يَجِيءَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَيُؤْذِنَهُ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray eleven rak`at in the late part of the night, and when dawn appeared, he
would offer two rak`at and then lie on his right side till the Muadhdhin came to inform him (that the
morning prayer was due).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "When you want to go to bed, perform ablution as you do for prayer, then
lie down on your right side and say: 'Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilaika, wa fawwadtu 'amri ilaika wa
alja'tu dhahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika, la malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilaika. Amantu
bikitabik al-ladhi anzalta wa binabiyyika al-ladhi arsalta'. If you should die then (after reciting this) you
will die on the religion of Islam (i.e., as a Muslim); so let these words be the last you say (before
going to bed)" While I was memorizing it, I said, "Wa birasulika al-ladhi arsalta (in Your Apostle
whom You have sent).' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, but say: Wa binabiyyika al-ladhi arsalta (in Your
Prophet whom You have sent).
