حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ صَفِيَّةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم. حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ عُقْبَةَ ـ حَدَّثَنَا الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنُ شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْحَيْضِ كَيْفَ تَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ قَالَ " تَأْخُذِينَ فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً فَتَوَضَّئِينَ بِهَا ". قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَوَضَّأُ بِهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَوَضَّئِي ". قَالَتْ كَيْفَ أَتَوَضَّأُ بِهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَوَضَّئِينَ بِهَا ". قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَعَرَفْتُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَذَبْتُهَا إِلَىَّ فَعَلَّمْتُهَا.
A woman asked the Prophet (Hadith 456).
Narrated `Aisha:
A woman asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the periods: How to take a bath after the periods. He said, "Take a
perfumed piece of cloth and clean yourself with it." She said,' "How shall I clean myself with it, O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Clean yourself" She said again, "How shall I clean myself, O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Clean yourself with it." Then I knew what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حُفَيْدٍ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ حَزْنٍ، أَهْدَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَمْنًا وَأَقِطًا وَأَضُبًّا، فَدَعَا بِهِنَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأُكِلْنَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِهِ، فَتَرَكَهُنَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَالْمُتَقَذِّرِ لَهُ، وَلَوْ كُنَّ حَرَامًا مَا أُكِلْنَ عَلَى مَائِدَتِهِ، وَلاَ أَمَرَ بِأَكْلِهِنَّ.
Um Hufaid bint Al-Harith bin Hazn presented the Prophet (ﷺ) with some butter, dried yoghurt (curd milk)
and mastigures as a gift. The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked for a meal (mastigures etc. to be put) and it was eaten
over his table cloth, but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not eat of it, as he had aversion to it. But if it had been illegal
to eat, it would not have been eaten over his table cloth nor would he have ordered that (mastigures
meat) to be eaten.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever has eaten garlic or onion, should keep away from us, or should keep
away from our mosque and should stay at home." Ibn Wahb said, "Once a plate full of cooked
vegetables was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) at Badr. Detecting a bad smell from it, he asked about the dish
and was informed of the kinds of vegetables in contained. He then said, "Bring it near," and so it was
brought near to one of his companions who was with him. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw it, he disliked
eating it and said (to his companion), "Eat, for I talk in secret to ones whom you do not talk to."
A lady came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and she talked to him about something, and he gave her some order.
She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If I should not find you?" He said, "If you should not find me, then go to
Abu Bakr." Ibrahim bin Sa`d said, "As if she meant the death (of the Prophet).
Narrated Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman that he heard Mu'awiya talking to a group of people from Quraish at Al-Madina, and on mentioning Ka'b Al-Ashbar, he said, "He was one of the most truthful of those who used to talk about the people of the Scripture, yet we used to detect certain faults in his information."
The people of the Book used to read the Torah in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the
Muslims. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to the Muslims). "Do not believe the people of the Book, nor
disbelieve them, but say, 'We believe in Allah and whatever is revealed to us, and whatever is
revealed to you.' "
Ibn `Abbas said, "Why do you ask the people of the scripture about anything while your Book
(Qur'an) which has been revealed to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is newer and the latest? You read it pure,
undistorted and unchanged, and Allah has told you that the people of the scripture (Jews and
Christians) changed their scripture and distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and
said, 'It is from Allah,' to sell it for a little gain. Does not the knowledge which has come to you
prevent you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never seen any man from them
asking you regarding what has been revealed to you!"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Recite (and study) the Qur'an as long as you are in agreement as to its
interpretation and meanings, but when you have differences regarding its interpretation and meanings,
then you should stop reciting it (for the time being.) (See Hadith No 581, Vol. 6)

When the time of the death of the Prophet (ﷺ) approached while there were some men in the house, and
among them was `Umar bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Come near let me write for you a writing
after which you will never go astray." `Umar said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) is seriously ill, and you have the
Qur'an, so Allah's Book is sufficient for us." The people in the house differed and disputed. Some of
them said, "Come near so that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) may write for you a writing after which you will not go
astray," while some of them said what `Umar said. When they made much noise and differed greatly
before the Prophet, he said to them, "Go away and leave me." Ibn `Abbas used to say, "It was a great
disaster that their difference and noise prevented Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from writing that writing for them.

I heard Jabir bin `Abdullah in a gathering saying, "We, the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) assumed
the state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without `Umra." Jabir added, "The Prophet (ﷺ) arrived (at Mecca)
on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to finish the state
of Ihram, saying, "Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual relation)." Jabir added, "The
Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made that legal for us. Then he heard that
we were saying, "When there remains only five days between us and the Day of `Arafat he orders us
to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to `Arafat with our male
organs dribbling with semen?' (Jabir pointed out with his hand illustrating what he was saying).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up and said, 'You (People) know that I am the most Allah-fearing, the most
truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hadi with
me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so finish your Ihram. If I had formerly known
what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me.' So we finished our Ihram
and listened to the Prophet (ﷺ) and obeyed him." (See Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)

Chapter 27: Something forbidden by the Prophet (saws) is legally prohibited - كتاب الاعتصام بالكتاب والسنة
Narrated `Abdullah Al Muzam:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" صَلُّوا قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ ـ قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ ـ لِمَنْ شَاءَ ". كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّةً.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perform (an optional) prayer before Maghrib prayer." (He repeated it thrice) and
the third time he said, "Whoever wants to offer it can do so," lest the people should take it as a Sunna
(tradition). (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 2)
After the slanderers had given a forged statement against her, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called `Ali bin Abi Talib
and Usama bin Zaid when the Divine Inspiration was delayed. He wanted to ask them and consult
them about the question of divorcing me. Usama gave his evidence that was based on what he knew
about my innocence, but `Ali said, "Allah has not put restrictions on you and there are many women
other than her. Furthermore you may ask the slave girl who will tell you the truth." So the Prophet (ﷺ)
asked Barira (my salve girl), "Have you seen anything that may arouse your suspicion?" She replied,
"I have not seen anything more than that she is a little girl who sleeps, leaving the dough of her family
(unguarded) that the domestic goats come and eat it." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) stood on the pulpit and said,
"O Muslims! Who will help me against the man who has harmed me by slandering my wife? By
Allah, I know nothing about my family except good." The narrator added: Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
mentioned the innocence of `Aisha. (See Hadith No. 274, Vol. 6)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) addressed the people, and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said, "What do you
suggest me regarding those people who are abusing my wife? I have never known anything bad about
her." The sub-narrator, `Urwa, said: When `Aisha was told of the slander, she said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Will you allow me to go to my parents' home?" He allowed her and sent a slave along with
her. An Ansari man said, "Subhanaka! It is not right for us to speak about this. Subhanaka! This is a
great lie!"
When the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu`adh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are going to a nation from the people
of the Scripture, so let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the Tauhid of Allah. If they
learn that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be offered in one day and one
night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Zakat of their properties and it is to
be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. And if they agree to that, then take from
them Zakat but avoid the best property of the people."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Mu`adh! Do you know what Allah's Right upon His slaves is?" I said, "Allah
and His Apostle know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "To worship Him (Allah) Alone and to join none in
worship with Him (Allah). Do you know what their right upon Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His
Apostle know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Not to punish them (if they do so).

A man heard another man reciting (in the prayers): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allah, the One."
(112.1) And he recited it repeatedly. When it was morning, he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him
about that as if he considered that the recitation of that Sura by itself was not enough. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the Qur'an."

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent (an army unit) under the command of a man who used to lead his companions in the
prayers and would finish his recitation with (the Sura 112): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allah, the
One." ' (112.1) When they returned (from the battle), they mentioned that to the Prophet. He said (to

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) when suddenly there came to him a messenger from one of his daughters
who was asking him to come and see her son who was dying. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the messenger),
"Go back and tell her that whatever Allah takes is His, and whatever He gives is His, and everything
with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world). So order her to be patient and hope for Allah's
reward." But she sent the messenger to the Prophet (ﷺ) again, swearing that he should come to her. So the
Prophet got up, and so did Sa`d bin 'Ubada and Mu`adh bin Jabal (and went to her). When the child
was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) his breath was disturbed in his chest as if it were in a water skin. On that
the eyes of the Prophet (ﷺ) became flooded with tears, whereupon Sa`d said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
What is this?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This is mercy which Allah has put in the heart of His slaves, and
Allah bestows His mercy only on those of His slaves who are merciful (to others)."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None is more patient than Allah against the harmful and annoying words He hears
(from the people): They ascribe children to Him, yet He bestows upon them health and provision .
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The keys of the unseen are five and none knows them but Allah: (1) None knows
(the sex) what is in the womb, but Allah: (2) None knows what will happen tomorrow, but Allah; (3)
None knows when it will rain, but Allah; (4) None knows where he will die, but Allah (knows that);
(5) and none knows when the Hour will be established, but Allah."

liar, for Allah says: "None has the knowledge of the Unseen but Allah."

Narrated `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُغِيرَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا شَقِيقُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَقُولُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّلاَمُ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ".
We used to pray behind the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to say: "As-Salamu 'Al-Allah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah
himself is As-Salam (Name of Allah), so you should say: 'at-Tahiyatu lil-lahi was-sala-watu wattaiyibatu,
as-salamu `alaika aiyyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-l-lahi wa barakatuhu, as-salamu `alaina
wa `ala `ibadi-l-lahi as-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha il-lallah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan
`abduhu wa rasuluhu."'
