Volume 6, Book 60, Number 72:
Narrated Abu Wail:
‘Abdullah bin Masud said, “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Whoever takes an oath when asked to do so, in
which he may deprive a Muslim of his property unlawfully, will meet Allah Who will be angry with
him.’ So Allah revealed in confirmation of this statement:–“Verily! Those who Purchase a small gain
at the cost of Allah’s Covenant and oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter…” (3.77) Then
entered Al-Ash’ath bin Qais and said, “What is Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman narrating to you?” We replied,
‘So-and-so.” Al-Ash’ath said, “This Verse was revealed in my connection. I had a well in the land of
my cousin (and he denied my, possessing it). On that the Prophet said to me, ‘Either you bring for –
ward a proof or he (i.e. your cousin) takes an oath (to confirm his claim)’ I said, ‘I am sure he would
take a (false) oath, O Allah’s Apostle.’ He said, ‘If somebody takes an oath when asked to do so
through which he may deprive a Muslim of his property (unlawfully) and he is a liar in his oath, he
will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.’ “
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 73:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Abu Aufa:
A man displayed some merchandise in the market and took an oath that he had been offered a
certain price for it while in fact he had not, in order to cheat a man from the Muslims. So then was
revealed:–“Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant and their
oaths…”(3.77)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 42:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Maqal:
I sat with Ka’b bin Ujra in this mosque, i.e. Kufa Mosque, and asked him about the meaning
of:–“Pay a ransom (i.e. Fidya) of either fasting or – – – – (2.196) He said, “I was taken to the Prophet
while lice were falling on my face. The Prophet said, ‘I did not think that your trouble reached to
such an extent. Can you afford to slaughter a sheep (as a ransom for shaving your head)?’ I said, ‘No.’
He said, ‘Then fast for three days, or feed six poor persons by giving half a Sa of food for each and
shave your head.’ So the above Verse was revealed especially for me and generally for all of you.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
We used to speak while in prayer. One of us used to speak to his brother (while in prayer) about
his need, till the Verse was revealed:–
“Guard strictly the (five obligatory) prayers, especially the middle (the Best) (Asr) Prayer and stand
before Allah with obedience (and not to speak to others during the prayers).” Then we were ordered
not to speak in the prayers.

Volume 6 – 980 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
The Verse of Hajj-at-Tamatu was revealed in Allah’s Book, so we performed it with Allah’s Apostle,
and nothing was revealed in Qur’an to make it illegal, nor did the Prophet prohibit it till he died. But
the man (who regarded it illegal) just expressed what his own mind suggested.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 59:
Narrated Nafi’:
Whenever ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar was asked about Salat-al-Khauf (i.e. prayer of fear) he said, “The
Imam comes forward with a group of people and leads them in a one Rak’a prayer while another
group from them who has not prayed yet, stay between the praying group and the enemy. When
those who are with the Imam have finished their one Rak’a, they retreat and take the positions of
those who have not prayed but they will not finish their prayers with Taslim. Those who have not
prayed, come forward to offer a Rak’a with the Imam (while the first group covers them from the en –
emy). Then the Imam, having offered two Rakat, finishes his prayer. Then each member of the two
groups offer the second Rak’a alone after the Imam has finished his prayer. Thus each one of the two
groups will have offered two Rakat. But if the fear is too great, they can pray standing on their feet or
riding on their mounts, facing the Qibla or not.” Nafi added: I do not think that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar
narrated this except from Allah’s Apostle (See Hadith No. 451, Vol 5 to know exactly “The Fear Pray –
er.”)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 44:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
‘Ukaz, Mijanna and Dhul-Majaz were markets during the Pre-islamic Period. They (i.e. Muslims)
considered it a sin to trade there during the Hajj time (i.e. season), so this Verse was revealed:–
“There is no harm for you if you seek of the Bounty of your Lord during the Hajj season.” (2.198)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 60:
Narrated Ibn Az-Zubair:
I said to ‘Uthman, “This Verse which is in Surat-al-Baqara:
“Those of you who die and leave widows behind…without turning them out.” has been abrogated
by another Verse. Why then do you write it (in the Qur’an)?” ‘Uthman said. “Leave it (where it is), O
the son of my brother, for I will not shift anything of it (i.e. the Quran) from its original position.”
