Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, ‘The example of a believer who recites the Qur’an is that of a citron (a citrus
fruit) which is good in taste and good in smell. And the believer who does not recite the Quran is like
a date which has a good taste but no smell. And the example of an impious person who recites the
Qur’an is that of Ar-Rihana (an aromatic plant) which smells good but is bitter in taste. And the ex –
ample of an impious person who does not recite the Quran is that of a colocynth which is bitter in
taste and has no smell.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Some people asked the Prophet regarding the soothsayers. He said, “They are nothing.” They said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! Some of their talks come true.” The Prophet said, “That word which happens to be
true is what a Jinn snatches away by stealth (from the Heaven) and pours it in the ears of his friend
(the foreteller) with a sound like the cackling of a hen. The soothsayers then mix with that word, one
hundred lies.”

The Prophet said, “There will emerge from the East some people who will recite the Qur’an but it
will not exceed their throats and who will go out of (renounce) the religion (Islam) as an arrow
passes through the game, and they will never come back to it unless the arrow, comes back to the
middle of the bow (by itself) (i.e., impossible). The people asked, “What will their signs be?” He said,
“Their sign will be the habit of shaving (of their beards). (Fateh Al-Bari, Page 322, Vol. 17th)

has written): My Mercy has preceded my Anger.” and that (Book) is written with Him over the
Throne.”
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 644:
Narrated Zahdam:
There were good relations and brotherhood between this tribe of Jurm and the Ash’ariyyin. Once,
while we were sitting with Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari, there was brought to him a meal which contained
chicken meat, and there was sitting beside him, a man from the tribe of Bani Taimul-lah who looked
like one of the Mawali. Abu Musa invited the man to eat but the man said, “I have seen chicken eat –
ing some dirty things, and I have taken an oath not to eat chicken.” Abu Musa said to him, “Come
along, let me tell you something in this regard. Once I went to the Prophet with a few men from
Ash’ariyyin and we asked him for mounts. The Prophet said, By Allah, I will not mount you on any –
thing; besides I do not have anything to mount you on.’ Then a few camels from the war booty were
brought to the Prophet, and he asked about us, saying, ‘Where are the group of Ash’ariyyin?’ So he
ordered for five fat camels to be given to us and then we set out. We said, ‘What have we done? Al –
lah’s Apostle took an oath that he would not give us anything to ride and that he had nothing for us
to ride, yet he provided us with mounts. We made Allah’s Apostle forget his oath! By Allah, we will
never be successful.’ So we returned to him and reminded him of his oath. He said, ‘I have not
provided you with the mount, but Allah has done so. By Allah, I may take an oath to do something,
but on finding something else which is better, I do that which is better and make the expiation for
my oath.’ “
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 645:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The delegates of ‘Abdul Qais came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “The pagans of the tribe of Mudar
intervene between you and us therefore we cannot come to you except in the Holy months. So please
order us to do something good (Religious deeds) by which we may enter Paradise (by acting on
them) and we may inform our people whom we have left behind to observe it.” The Prophet said, “I
order you to do four things and forbid you from four things: I order you to believe in Allah. Do you
know what is meant by belief in Allah? It is to testify that none has the right to be worshipped except
Allah, to offer prayers perfectly, to give Zakat, and to give Al-Khumus (one-fifth of the war booty)
(in Allah’s Cause). And I forbid you four things, (i.e., Do not drink alcoholic drinks) Ad-Dubba, An-
Naqir, (pitched water skins), Az-Zuruf, Al-Muzaffat and Al–Hantam (names of utensils used for the
preparation of alcoholic drinks).” (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1)
