Narrated Abu Musud:
When we were ordered to give alms, we began to work as porters (to earn something we could
give in charity). Abu Uqail came with one half of a Sa (special measure for food grains) and another
person brought more than he did. So the hypocrites said, “Allah is not in need of the alms of this (i.e.
‘Uqail); and this other person did not give alms but for showing off.” Then Allah revealed:–
‘Those who criticize such of the Believers who give charity voluntarily and those who could not
find to give in charity except what is available to them.’ (9.79)

Narrated Shaqiq:
Abu Mas’ud Al-Ansari said, “Allah’s Apostle, used to order us to give alms. So one of us would exert
himself to earn one Mud (special measure of wheat or dates, etc.,) to give in charity; while today one
of us may have one hundred thousand.” Shaqiq said: As if Abu Masud referred to himself.

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When ‘Abdullah bin ‘Ubai died, his son ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdullah came to Allah’s Apostle and asked
him to give him his shirt in order to shroud his father in it. He gave it to him and then ‘Abdullah
asked the Prophet to offer the funeral prayer for him (his father). Allah’s Apostle got up to offer the
funeral prayer for him, but Umar got up too and got hold of the garment of Allah’s Apostle and said,
“O Allah’s Apostle Will you offer the funeral prayer for him though your Lord has forbidden you to
offer the prayer for him” Allah’s Apostle said, “But Allah has given me the choice by saying:
‘(Whether you) ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them; even if you ask for –
giveness for them seventy times..’ (9.80) so I will ask more than seventy times.” ‘Umar said, “But he
(‘Abdullah bin ‘Ubai) is a hypocrite!” However, Allah’s Apostle did offer the funeral prayer for him
whereupon Allah revealed:

‘And never (O Muhammad) pray for anyone of them that dies, nor stand at his grave.’ (9.84)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 193:
Narrated Umar bin Al-Khattab:
When ‘Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul died, Allah’s Apostle was called in order to offer the funeral
prayer for him. When Allah’s Apostle got up (to offer the prayer) I jumped towards him and said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! Do you offer the prayer for Ibn Ubai although he said so-and-so on such-and-such-
a day?” I went on mentioning his sayings. Allah’s Apostle smiled and said, “Keep away from me, O
‘Umar!” But when I spoke too much to him, he said, “I have been given the choice, and I have chosen
(this) ; and if I knew that if I asked forgiveness for him more than seventy times, he would be for giv –
en, I would ask it for more times than that.” So Allah’s Apostle offered the funeral prayer for him and
then left, but he did not stay long before the two Verses of Surat-Bara’a were revealed, i.e.:– ‘And
never (O Muhammad) pray for anyone of them that dies…. and died in a state of rebellion.’ (9.84)
Later I was astonished at my daring to speak like that to Allah’s Apostle and Allah and His Apostle
know best.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 194:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
When Abdullah bin Ubai died, his son ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdullah came to Allah’s Apostle who gave
his shirt to him and ordered him to shroud his father in it. Then he stood up to offer the funeral
prayer for the deceased, but ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab took hold of his garment and said, “Do you offer
the funeral prayer for him though he was a hypocrite and Allah has forbidden you to ask forgiveness
for hypocrites?” The Prophet said, “Allah has given me the choice (or Allah has informed me) saying:
“Whether you, O Muhammad, ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them, even if
you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will not forgive them,” (9.80) The he added, “I will
(appeal to Allah for his sake) more than seventy times.” So Allah’s Apostle offered the funeral prayer
for him and we too, offered the prayer along with him. Then Allah revealed: “And never, O
Muhammad, pray (funeral prayer) for anyone of them that dies, nor stand at his grave. Certainly
they disbelieved in Allah and His Apostle and died in a state of rebellion.” (9.84)

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Ka’b:
I heard Ka’b bin Malik at the time he remained behind and did not join (the battle of) Tabuk, say –
ing, “By Allah, no blessing has Allah bestowed upon me, besides my guidance to Islam, better than
that of helping me speak the truth to Allah’s Apostle otherwise I would have told the Prophet a lie
and would have been ruined like those who had told a lie when the Divine Inspiration was

people.” (9.95-96)

Narrated Samura bin Jundab:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Tonight two (visitors) came to me (in my dream) and took me to a town built
with gold bricks and silver bricks. There we met men who, half of their bodies, look like the most-
handsome human beings you have ever seen, and the other half, the ugliest human beings you have
ever seen. Those two visitors said to those men, ‘Go and dip yourselves in that river. So they dipped
themselves therein and then came to us, their ugliness having disappeared and they were in the
most-handsome shape. The visitors said, ‘The first is the Garden of Eden and that is your dwelling
place.’ Then they added, ‘As for those people who were half ugly and half handsome, they were those
who mixed good deeds and bad deeds, but Allah forgave them.”
