Volume 1, Book 3, Number 118:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet’s narrations). Had it not been for two
verses in the Qur’an, I would not have narrated a single Hadith, and the verses are:
“Verily those who conceal the clear sign and the guidance which We have sent down . . . (up to)
Most Merciful.” (2:159-160). And no doubt our Muhajir (emigrant) brothers used to be busy in the
market with their business (bargains) and our Ansari brothers used to be busy with their property
(agriculture). But I (Abu Huraira) used to stick to Allah’s Apostle contented with what will fill my
stomach and I used to attend that which they used not to attend and I used to memorize that which
they used not to memorize.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 103:
Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika:
Whenever ‘Aisha (the wife of the Prophet) heard anything which she did not understand, she used
to ask again till she understood it completely. Aisha said: “Once the Prophet said, “Whoever will be
called to account (about his deeds on the Day of Resurrection) will surely be punished.” I said,
“Doesn’t Allah say: “He surely will receive an easy reckoning.” (84.8) The Prophet replied, “This means
only the presentation of the accounts but whoever will be argued about his account, will certainly be
ruined.”
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 119:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said to Allah’s Apostle “I hear many narrations (Hadiths) from you but I forget them.” Allah’s
Apostle said, “Spread your Rida’ (garment).” I did accordingly and then he moved his hands as if
filling them with something (and emptied them in my Rida’) and then said, “Take and wrap this sheet
over your body.” I did it and after that I never forgot any thing.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 104:
Narrated Said:
Abu Shuraih said, “When ‘Amr bin Said was sending the troops to Mecca (to fight ‘Abdullah bin
Az-Zubair) I said to him, ‘O chief! Allow me to tell you what the Prophet said on the day following
the conquests of Mecca. My ears heard and my heart comprehended, and I saw him with my own
eyes, when he said it. He glorified and praised Allah and then said, “Allah and not the people has
made Mecca a sanctuary. So anybody who has belief in Allah and the Last Day (i.e. a Muslim) should
neither shed blood in it nor cut down its trees. If anybody argues that fighting is allowed in Mecca as
Allah’s Apostle did fight (in Mecca), tell him that Allah gave permission to His Apostle, but He did not
give it to you. The Prophet added: Allah allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the con –
quest) and today (now) its sanctity is the same (valid) as it was before. So it is incumbent upon those

who are present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent.” Abu- Shuraih was asked,
“What did ‘Amr reply?” He said ‘Amr said, “O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you (in this respect).
Mecca does not give protection to one who disobeys (Allah) or runs after committing murder, or
theft (and takes refuge in Mecca).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 120:
Narrated Ibrahim bin Al-Mundhir:
Ibn Abi Fudaik narrated the same as above (Hadith…119) but added that the Prophet had moved
his hands as if filling them with something and then he emptied them in the Rida’ of Abu Huraira.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 105:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said. No doubt your blood, property, the sub-narrator Muhammad thought that Abu
Bakra had also mentioned and your honor (chastity), are sacred to one another as is the sanctity of
this day of yours in this month of yours. It is incumbent on those who are present to inform those
who are absent.” (Muhammad the Subnarrator used to say, “Allah’s Apostle told the truth.”) The
Prophet repeated twice: “No doubt! Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s message to you.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 106:
Narrated ‘Ali:
The Prophet said, “Do not tell a lie against me for whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then
he will surely enter the Hell-fire.”
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 107:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair:
I said to my father, ‘I do not hear from you any narration (Hadith) of Allah s Apostle as I hear (his
narrations) from so and so?” Az-Zubair replied. l was always with him (the Prophet) and I heard him
saying “Whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then (surely) let him occupy, his seat in Hell-
fire.
