Volume 6, Book 60, Number 24:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet said one statement and I said another. The Prophet said “Whoever dies while still in –
voking anything other than Allah as a rival to Allah, will enter Hell (Fire).” And I said, “Whoever dies
without invoking anything as a rival to Allah, will enter Paradise.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 40:
Narrated Nafi’:
During the affliction of Ibn Az-Zubair, two men came to Ibn ‘Umar and said, “The people are lost,
and you are the son of ‘Umar, and the companion of the Prophet, so what forbids you from coming
out?” He said, “What forbids me is that Allah has prohibited the shedding of my brother’s blood.”
They both said, “Didn’t Allah say, ‘And fight then until there is no more affliction?” He said “We
fought until there was no more affliction and the worship is for Allah (Alone while you want to fight
until there is affliction and until the worship become for other than Allah.”

Narrated Nafi (through another group of sub-narrators): A man came to Ibn ‘Umar and said, “O
Abu Abdur Rahman! What made you perform Hajj in one year and Umra in another year and leave
the Jihad for Allah’ Cause though you know how much Allah recommends it?” Ibn ‘Umar replied, “O
son of my brother! Islam is founded on five principles, i.e. believe in Allah and His Apostle, the five
compulsory prayers, the fasting of the month of Ramadan, the payment of Zakat, and the Hajj to the
House (of Allah).” The man said, “O Abu Abdur Rahman! Won’t you listen to why Allah has men –
tioned in His Book: ‘If two groups of believers fight each other, then make peace between them, but if
one of then transgresses beyond bounds against the other, then you all fight against the one that
transgresses. (49.9) and:–“And fight them till there is no more affliction (i.e. no more worshiping of
others along with Allah).” Ibn ‘Umar said, “We did it, during the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle when Is –
lam had only a few followers. A man would be put to trial because of his religion; he would either be
killed or tortured. But when the Muslims increased, there was no more afflictions or oppressions.”
The man said, “What is your opinion about ‘Uthman and ‘Ali?” Ibn ‘Umar said, “As for ‘Uthman, it
seems that Allah has forgiven him, but you people dislike that he should be forgiven. And as for ‘Ali,
he is the cousin of Allah’s Apostle and his son-in-law.” Then he pointed with his hand and said, “That
is his house which you see.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 25:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The law of Qisas (i.e. equality in punishment) was prescribed for the children of Israel, but the
Diya (i.e. blood money was not ordained for them). So Allah said to this Nation (i.e. Muslims):
“O you who believe! The law of Al-Qisas (i.e. equality in punishment) is prescribed for you in
cases of murder: The free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the
relatives (or one of them) of the killed (person) forgive their brother (i.e. the killers something of
Qisas (i.e. not to kill the killer by accepting blood money in the case of intentional murder)—-then
the relatives (of the killed person) should demand blood-money in a reasonable manner and the
killer must pay with handsome gratitude. This is an allevitation and a Mercy from your Lord, (in
comparison to what was prescribed for the nations before you).
So after this, whoever transgresses the limits (i.e. to kill the killer after taking the blood-money)
shall have a painful torment.” (2.178)

That his aunt, Ar-Rubai’ broke an incisor tooth of a girl. My aunt’s family requested the girl’s rel –
atives for forgiveness but they refused; then they proposed a compensation, but they refused. Then
they went to Allah’s Apostle and refused everything except Al-Qisas (i.e. equality in punishment). So
Allah’s Apostle passed the judgment of Al-Qisas (i.e. equality of punishment). Anas bin Al-Nadr said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! Will the incisor tooth of Ar-Rubai be broken? No, by Him Who sent you with the
Truth, her incisor tooth will not be broken.” Allah’s Apostle said, “O Anas! The prescribed law of Al –
lah is equality in punishment (i.e. Al-Qisas.)” Thereupon those people became satisfied and forgave
her. Then Allah’s Apostle said, “Among Allah’s Worshippers there are some who, if they took Allah’s
Oath (for something), Allah fulfill their oaths.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 28:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Fasting was observed on the day of ‘Ashura’ (i.e. 10th of Muharram) by the people of the Pre-
lslamic Period. But when (the order of compulsory fasting) in the month of Ramadan was revealed,
the Prophet said, “It is up to one to fast on it (i.e. day of ‘Ashura’) or not.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 29:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
The people used to fast on the day of ‘Ashura’ before fasting in Ramadan was prescribed but when
(the order of compulsory fasting in) Ramadan was revealed, it was up to one to fast on it (i.e.
‘Ashura’) or not.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 30:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
That Al-Ash’ath entered upon him while he was eating. Al-Ash’ath said, “Today is ‘Ashura.” I said
(to him), “Fasting had been observed (on such a day) before (the order of compulsory fasting in) Ra –
madan was revealed. But when (the order of fasting in) Ramadan was revealed, fasting (on ‘Ashura’)
was given up, so come and eat.”
