Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
When the time of the death of the Prophet approached while there were some men in the house,
and among them was ‘Umar bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet said, “Come near let me write for you a
writing after which you will never go astray.” ‘Umar said, “The Prophet is seriously ill, and you have
the Quran, so Allah’s Book is sufficient for us.” The people in the house differed and disputed. Some
of them said, “Come near so that Allah’s Apostle may write for you a writing after which you will not

go astray,” while some of them said what ‘Umar said. When they made much noise and differed
greatly before the Prophet, he said to them, “Go away and leave me.” Ibn ‘Abbas used to say, “It was a
great disaster that their difference and noise prevented Allah’s Apostle from writing that writing for
them.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
After the slanderers had given a forged statement against her, Allah’s Apostle called ‘Ali bin Abi
Talib and Usama bin Zaid when the Divine Inspiration was delayed. He wanted to ask them and
consult them about the question of divorcing me. Usama gave his evidence that was based on what
he knew about my innocence, but ‘Ali said, “Allah has not put restrictions on you and there are many
women other than her. Furthermore you may ask the slave girl who will tell you the truth.” So the
Prophet asked Barira (my salve girl), “Have you seen anything that may arouse your suspicion?” She
replied, “I have not seen anything more than that she is a little girl who sleeps, leaving the dough of
her family (unguarded) that the domestic goats come and eat it.” Then the Prophet stood on the pul –
pit and said, “O Muslims! Who will help me against the man who has harmed me by slandering my
wife? By Allah, I know nothing about my family except good.” The narrator added: Then the Prophet
mentioned the innocence of ‘Aisha. (See Hadith No. 274, Vol. 6)
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 463:
Narrated Aisha:
Allah’s Apostle addressed the people, and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said, “What do you
suggest me regarding those people who are abusing my wife? I have never known anything bad
about her.” The sub-narrator, ‘Urwa, said: When ‘Aisha was told of the slander, she said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! Will you allow me to go to my parents’ home?” He allowed her and sent a slave along with
her. An Ansari man said, “Subhanaka! It is not right for us to speak about this. Subhanaka! This is a
great lie!”

Narrated Ata:
I heard Jabir bin ‘Abdullah in a gathering saying, “We, the companions of Allah’s Apostle assumed
the state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without ‘Umra.” Jabir added, “The Prophet arrived (at Mecca)
on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet ordered us to finish the

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 9 > BOOK 92: HOLDING FAST TO THE QUR’AN AND SUNNAH
state of Ihram, saying, “Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual relation).” Jabir added,
“The Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made that legal for us. Then he heard
that we were saying, “When there remains only five days between us and the Day of Arafat he orders
us to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to ‘Arafat with our
male organs dribbling with semen?’ (Jabir pointed out with his hand illustrating what he was
saying). Allah’s Apostle stood up and said, ‘You (People) know that I am the most Allah-fearing, the
most truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hadi
with me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so finish your Ihram. If I had formerly
known what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me.’ So we finished our
Ihram and listened to the Prophet and obeyed him.” (See Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)

Narrated ‘Abdullah Al Muzam:
The Prophet said, “Perform (an optional) prayer before Maghrib prayer.” (He repeated it thrice)

Sunna (tradition). (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 2)

Narrated Jundab bin ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Recite (and study) the Quran as long as you are in agreement as to its inter –

then you should stop reciting it (for the time being.) (See Hadith No 581, Vol. 6)

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 9 > BOOK 92: HOLDING FAST TO THE QUR’AN AND SUNNAH
Ibn ‘Abbas said, “Why do you ask the people of the scripture about anything while your Book
(Quran) which has been revealed to Allah’s Apostle is newer and the latest? You read it pure, undis –
torted and unchanged, and Allah has told you that the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians)
changed their scripture and distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and said, ‘It is
from Allah,’ to sell it for a little gain. Does not the knowledge which has come to you prevent you
from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never seen any man from them asking you
regarding what has been revealed to you!”
