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.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
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 9:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet said, “Allah said, ‘The son of Adam tells a lie against me though he has no right to do
so, and he abuses Me though he has no right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is that he
claims that I cannot recreate him as I created him before; and as for his abusing Me, it is his state –
ment that I have offspring. No! Glorified be Me! I am far from taking a wife or offspring.’ “
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 10:
Narrated Anas:
Umar said, “I agreed with Allah in three things,” or said, “My Lord agreed with me in three things. I
said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Would that you took the station of Abraham as a place of prayer.’ I also said,
‘O Allah’s Apostle! Good and bad persons visit you! Would that you ordered the Mothers of the be –
lievers to cover themselves with veils.’ So the Divine Verses of Al-Hijab (i.e. veiling of the women)
were revealed. I came to know that the Prophet had blamed some of his wives so I entered upon
them and said, ‘You should either stop (troubling the Prophet ) or else Allah will give His Apostle bet –
ter wives than you.’ When I came to one of his wives, she said to me, ‘O ‘Umar! Does Allah’s Apostle
haven’t what he could advise his wives with, that you try to advise them?’ ” Thereupon Allah re –
vealed:–
“It may be, if he divorced you (all) his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you
Muslims (who submit to Allah)..” (66.5)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 11:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
(The wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Apostle said, “Don’t you see that when your people built the Ka’ba,
they did not build it on all Abraham’s foundations?” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Why don’t you rebuild
it on Abraham’s foundations?” He said, “Were your people not so close to (the period of Heathenism,
i.e. the Period between their being Muslims and being infidels), I would do so.” The sub-narrator,
‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, “Aisha had surely heard Allah’s Apostle saying that, for I do not think that
Allah’s Apostle left touching the two corners of the Ka’ba facing Al-Hijr except because the Ka’ba was
not built on all Abraham’s foundations.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 12:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The people of the Scripture (Jews) used to recite the Torah in Hebrew and they used to explain it
in Arabic to the Muslims. On that Allah’s Apostle said, “Do not believe the people of the Scripture or
disbelieve them, but say:– “We believe in Allah and what is revealed to us.” (2.136)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 13:
Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet prayed facing Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e. Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months but he
wished that his Qibla would be the Ka’ba (at Mecca). (So Allah Revealed (2.144) and he offered ‘Asr
prayers(in his Mosque facing Ka’ba at Mecca) and some people prayed with him. A man from among
those who had prayed with him, went out and passed by some people offering prayer in another
mosque, and they were in the state of bowing. He said, “I, (swearing by Allah,) testify that I have
prayed with the Prophet facing Mecca.” Hearing that, they turned their faces to the Ka’ba while they
were still bowing. Some men had died before the Qibla was changed towards the Ka’ba. They had
been killed and we did not know what to say about them (i.e. whether their prayers towards Jerus –
alem were accepted or not). So Allah revealed:– “And Allah would never make your faith (i.e. pray –
er) to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered (towards Jerusalem). Truly Allah is Full of Pity, Most Merciful
towards mankind.” (2.143)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 14:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Noah will be called on the Day of Resurrection and he will say, ‘Labbaik and
Sa’daik, O my Lord!’ Allah will say, ‘Did you convey the Message?’ Noah will say, ‘Yes.’ His nation will
then be asked, ‘Did he convey the Message to you?’ They will say, ‘No Warner came to us.’ Then Allah
will say (to Noah), ‘Who will bear witness in your favor?’ He will say, ‘Muhammad and his followers.
So they (i.e. Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message. And the Apostle (Muhammad) will
be a witness over yourselves, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allah “Thus We have
made of you a just and the best nation that you may be witnesses over mankind and the Apostle
(Muhammad) will be a witness over yourselves.” (2.143)
