Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
The Prophet said, “Whoever has eaten garlic or onion, should keep away from us, or should keep
away from our mosque and should stay at home.” Ibn Wahb said, “Once a plate full of cooked veget –
ables was brought to the Prophet at Badr. Detecting a bad smell from it, he asked about the dish and
was informed of the kinds of vegetables in contained. He then said, “Bring it near,” and so it was
brought near to one of his companions who was with him. When the Prophet saw it, he disliked eat –
ing it and said (to his companion), “Eat, for I talk in secret to ones whom you do not talk to.”

Narrated Jubair bin Mutim:
A lady came to Allah’s Apostle and she talked to him about something, and he gave her some or –
der. She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If I should not find you?” He said, “If you should not find me, then go
to Abu Bakr.” Ibrahim bin Sa’d said, “As if she meant the death (of the Prophet).”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The people of the Book used to read the Torah in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the
Muslims. Allah’s Apostle said (to the Muslims). “Do not believe the people of the Book, nor disbelieve
them, but say, ‘We believe in Allah and whatever is revealed to us, and whatever is revealed to you.’ “

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!”
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 452:
Narrated Al-A’raj:
Abu Huraira said, “You people claim that Abu Huraira narrates many narrations of Allah’s Apostle.
(Anyhow) with Allah will be our appointment. I was a poor man, and used to stick to Allah’s Apostle
contented with what will fill my stomach, and the Muhajirin (emigrants) used to be busy trading in
the markets, and the Ansar used to be busy looking after their properties. One-day I heard Allah’s
Apostle saying, ‘Who will spread his Rida’ (a garment covering the upper part of the body) till I fin –
ished my speech and then fold it, (i.e. wrap it over your body), in which case he will never forget
anything he had heard from me.” So I spread my garment which I was wearing; and by Him Who
sent Muhammad with the Truth, ever since, I have never forgotten whatever I heard from him (the
Prophet)” (See, Hadith No. 119, Vol. 1)

Volume 9, Book 92, Number 453:
Narrated Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir:
I saw Jabir bin ‘Abdullah swearing by Allah that Ibn Sayyad was the Dajjal. I said to Jabir, “How
can you swear by Allah?” Jabir said, “I have heard ‘Umar swearing by Allah regarding this matter in
the presence of the Prophet and the Prophet did not disapprove of it.”
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 454:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Horses may be used for three purposes: For a man they may be a source of re –
ward (in the Hereafter); for another, a means of protection; and for another, a source of sin. The man
for whom they are a source of reward, is the one who keeps them for Allah’s Cause and ties them
with long ropes and lets them graze in a pasture or garden. Whatever those long ropes allow them to
eat of that pasture or garden, will be written as good deeds for him and if they break their ropes and
run one or two rounds, then all their footsteps and dung will be written as good deeds for him, and if
they pass a river and drink from it though he has had no intention of watering them, even then, that
will be written as good deeds for him. So such horses are a source of reward for that man. For the
man who keeps horses for his livelihood in order not to ask others for help or beg his bread, and at
the same time he does not forget Allah’s right of what he earns through them and of their backs (that
he presents it to be used in Allah’s Cause), such horses are a shelter for him (from poverty). For the
man who keeps them just out of pride and for showing off, they are a source of sin.” Then Allah’s
Apostle was asked about donkeys. He said, “Allah has not revealed anything to me regarding them
except this comprehensive Verse:
“Then anyone who has done good, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it, and
any one who has done evil, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it.” (99.7-8)
