Narrated
'Abdullah:
When the Verse:
'It is those who believe and confuse not their belief with wrong (i.e.,
worshipping others besides Allah): (6.82) was revealed, it became very hard on
the companions of the Prophet and they said, "Who among us has not
confused his belief with wrong (oppression)?" On that, Allah's Apostle
said, "This is not meant (by the Verse). Don't you listen to Luqman's
statement: 'Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong
indeed.' (31.13)
Narrated Abu
Bakra:
The Prophet.
said, "The biggest of the great sins are: To join others in worship with
Allah, to be undutiful to one's parents, and to give a false witness." He
repeated it thrice, or said, "....a false statement," and kept on
repeating that warning till we wished he would stop saying it. (See Hadith
No.7, Vol. 8)
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Amr:
A bedouin came to
the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! What are the biggest sins?: The
Prophet said, "To join others in worship with Allah." The bedouin
said, "What is next?" The Prophet said, "To be undutiful to
one's parents." The bedouin said "What is next?" The Prophet
said "To take an oath 'Al-Ghamus." The bedouin said, "What is an
oath 'Al-Ghamus'?" The Prophet said, "The false oath through which
one deprives a Muslim of his property (unjustly)."
Narrated Ibn
Mas'ud:
A man said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Shall we be punished for what we did in the Prelslamic
Period of ignorance?" The Prophet said, "Whoever does good in Islam
will not be punished for what he did in the Pre-lslamic Period of ignorance and
whoever does evil in Islam will be punished for his former and later (bad
deeds)."
Narrated 'Ikrima:
Some Zanadiqa
(atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event,
reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have
burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with
Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement
of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill
him.'"
Narrated Abu
Burda:
Abu Musa said,
"I came to the Prophet along with two men (from the tribe) of Ash'ariyin,
one on my right and the other on my left, while Allah's Apostle was brushing
his teeth (with a Siwak), and both men asked him for some employment. The
Prophet said, 'O Abu Musa (O 'Abdullah bin Qais!).' I said, 'By Him Who sent
you with the Truth, these two men did not tell me what was in their hearts and
I did not feel (realize) that they were seeking employment.' As if I were
looking now at his Siwak being drawn to a corner under his lips, and he said,
'We never (or, we do not) appoint for our affairs anyone who seeks to be
employed. But O Abu Musa! (or 'Abdullah bin Qais!) Go to Yemen.'" The
Prophet then sent Mu'adh bin Jabal after him and when Mu'adh reached him, he spread
out a cushion for him and requested him to get down (and sit on the cushion).
Behold: There was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa. Mu'adh asked, "Who is
this (man)?" Abu Muisa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and
then reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Muisa requested Mu'adh to sit
down but Mu'adh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed. This
is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle (for such cases) and repeated it
thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed. Abu
Musa added, "Then we discussed the night prayers and one of us said, 'I
pray and sleep, and I hope that Allah will reward me for my sleep as well as
for my prayers.'"
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
When the Prophet
died and Abu Bakr became his successor and some of the Arabs reverted to
disbelief, 'Umar said, "O Abu Bakr! How can you fight these people
although Allah's Apostle said, 'I have been ordered to fight the people till
they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, 'and whoever said,
'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', Allah will save his property
and his life from me, unless (he does something for which he receives legal
punishment) justly, and his account will be with Allah?' "Abu Bakr said,
"By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between prayers and Zakat
as Zakat is the right to be taken from property (according to Allah's Orders).
By Allah! If they refused to pay me even a kid they used to pay to Allah's
Apostle, I would fight with them for withholding it." 'Umar said, "By
Allah: It was nothing, but I noticed that Allah opened Abu Bakr's chest towards
the decision to fight, therefore I realized that his decision was right."
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
A Jew passed by
Allah's Apostle and said, "As-Samu 'Alaika." Allah's Apostle said in
reply, "We 'Alaika." Allah's Apostle then said to his companions,
"Do you know what he (the Jew) has said? He said, 'As-Samu 'Alaika.'"
They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we kill him?" The Prophet, said,
"No. When the people of the Book greet you, say: 'Wa 'Alaikum.'"
Narrated 'Aisha:
A group of Jews
asked permission to visit the Prophet (and when they were admitted) they said,
"As-Samu 'Alaika (Death be upon you)." I said (to them), "But
death and the curse of Allah be upon you!" The Prophet said, "O
'Aisha! Allah is kind and lenient and likes that one should be kind and lenient
in all matters." I said, "Haven't you heard what they said?" He
said, "I said (to them), 'Wa 'Alaikum (and upon you).
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
Allah's Apostle
said, "When the Jews greet anyone of you they say: 'Sam'Alaika (death be
upon you); so you should say; 'Wa 'Alaika (and upon you).'"
Narrated
'Abdullah:
As if I am
looking at the Prophet while he was speaking about one of the prophets whose
people have beaten and wounded him, and he was wiping the blood off his face
and saying, "O Lord! Forgive my, people as they do not know."
Narrated 'Ali:
Whenever I tell
you a narration from Allah's Apostle, by Allah, I would rather fall down from
the sky than ascribe a false statement to him, but if I tell you something between
me and you (not a Hadith) then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things
just to cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "During
the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best
words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no
faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the
game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall
have reward on the Day of Resurrection."
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Yasar:
That they visited
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and asked him about Al-Harauriyya, a special unorthodox
religious sect, "Did you hear the Prophet saying anything about
them?" Abu Sa'id said, "I do not know what Al-Harauriyya is, but I
heard the Prophet saying, "There will appear in this nation---- he did not
say: From this nation ---- a group of people so pious apparently that you will
consider your prayers inferior to their prayers, but they will recite the
Quran, the teachings of which will not go beyond their throats and will go out
of their religion as an arrow darts through the game, whereupon the archer may
look at his arrow, its Nasl at its Risaf and its Fuqa to see whether it is blood-stained
or not (i.e. they will have not even a trace of Islam in them)."
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Regarding
Al-Harauriyya: The Prophet said, "They will go out of Islam as an arrow
darts out of the game's body.'
Narrated Abu
Sa'id:
While the Prophet
was distributing (something, 'Abdullah bin Dhil Khawaisira At-Tamimi came and
said, "Be just, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "Woe to
you ! Who would be just if I were not?" 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said,
"Allow me to cut off his neck ! " The Prophet said, " Leave him,
for he has companions, and if you compare your prayers with their prayers and
your fasting with theirs, you will look down upon your prayers and fasting, in
comparison to theirs. Yet they will go out of the religion as an arrow darts
through the game's body in which case, if the Qudhadh of the arrow is examined,
nothing will be found on it, and when its Nasl is examined, nothing will be
found on it; and then its Nadiyi is examined, nothing will be found on it. The
arrow has been too fast to be smeared by dung and blood. The sign by which
these people will be recognized will be a man whose one hand (or breast) will
be like the breast of a woman (or like a moving piece of flesh). These people
will appear when there will be differences among the people (Muslims)."
Abu Sa'id added: I testify that I heard this from the Prophet and also testify
that 'Ali killed those people while I was with him. The man with the description
given by the Prophet was brought to 'Ali. The following Verses were revealed in
connection with that very person (i.e., 'Abdullah bin Dhil-Khawaisira
At-Tarnimi): 'And among them are men who accuse you (O Muhammad) in the matter
of (the distribution of) the alms.' (9.58)
Narrated Yusair
bin 'Amr:
I asked Sahl bin
Hunaif, "Did you hear the Prophet saying anything about Al-Khawarij?"
He said, "I heard him saying while pointing his hand towards Iraq.
"There will appear in it (i.e, Iraq) some people who will recite the Quran
but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out from (leave)
Islam as an arrow darts through the game's body.' "
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "The Hour will not be established till two (huge) groups fight
against each other, their claim being one and the same."
Narrated
'Abdullah:
When the
Verse:--'Those who believe and did not confuse their belief with wrong (worshipping
others besides Allah).' (6.82) was revealed, it was hard on the companions of
the Prophet and they said, "Who among us has not wronged (oppressed)
himself?" Allah's Apostle said, "The meaning of the Verse is not as
you think, but it is as Luqman said to his son, 'O my son! Join not in worship
others with Allah, Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great
wrong indeed.'" (31.13)
Narrated 'Itban
bin Malik:
Once Allah's
Apostle came to me in the morning, and a man among us said, "Where is
Malik bin Ad-Dukhshun?" Another man from us replied, "He is a
hypocrite who does not love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said,
"Don't you think that he says: None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah, only for Allah's sake?" They replied, "Yes" The Prophet
said, "Nobody will meet Allah with that saying on the Day of Resurrection,
but Allah will save him from the Fire."
Narrated:
Abu 'Abdur-Rahman
and Hibban bin 'Atiyya had a dispute. Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said to Hibban,
"You know what made your companions (i.e. Ali) dare to shed blood."
Hibban said, "Come on! What is that?" 'Abdur-Rahman said,
"Something I heard him saying." The other said, "What was
it?" 'AbdurRahman said, "'Ali said, Allah's Apostle sent for me,
Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of us were cavalry men, and said, 'Proceed
to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu 'Awana called it like this, i.e., Hajj
where there is a woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the
pagans (of Mecca). So bring that letter to me.' So we proceeded riding on our
horses till we overtook her at the same place of which Allah's Apostle had told
us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter Hatib had written to the
Meccans about the proposed attached of Allah's Apostle against them. We asked
her, "Where is the letter which is with you?' She replied, 'I haven't got
any letter.' So we made her camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we
did not find anything. My two companions said, 'We do not think that she has
got a letter.' I said, 'We know that Allah's Apostle has not told a lie.'"
Then 'Ali took an
oath saying, "By Him by Whom one should swear! You shall either bring out
the letter or we shall strip off your clothes." She then stretched out her
hand for her girdle (round her waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They
took the letter to Allah's Apostle. 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle!
(Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his
neck!" Allah's Apostle said, "O Hatib! What obliged you to do what
you have done?" Hatib replied, "O Allah's Apostle! Why (for what
reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I intended to do the
(Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my family and property may be
protected as there is none of your companions but has some of his people
(relatives) whom Allah urges to protect his family and property." The
Prophet said, "He has said the truth; therefore, do not say anything to
him except good." 'Umar again said, "O Allah's Apostle! He has
betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop his neck off!"
The Prophet said, "Isn't he from those who fought the battle of Badr? And
what do you know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to
them), 'Do what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?' " On that,
'Umar's eyes became flooded with tears and he said, "Allah and His Apostle
know best."
