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)

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman:
that Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri said to him, “I see that you like sheep and the desert, so when you are
looking after your sheep or when you are in the desert and want to pronounce the Adhan, raise your
voice, for no Jinn, human being or any other things hear the Mu’adh-dhin’s voice but will be a wit –
ness for him on the Day of Resurrection.” Abu Sa’id added, “I heard this from Allah’s Apostle.”

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 640:
Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
I heard Hisham bin Hakim reciting Surat-al-Furqan during the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle, I
listened to his recitation and noticed that he was reciting in a way that Allah’s Apostle had not taught
me. I was about to jump over him while He was still in prayer, but I waited patiently and when he
finished his prayer, I put my sheet round his neck (and pulled him) and said, “Who has taught you
this Sura which I have heard you reciting?” Hisham said, “Allah’s Apostle taught it to me.” I said, “You
are telling a lie, for he taught it to me in a way different from the way you have recited it!” Then I
started leading (dragged) him to Allah’s Apostle and said (to the Prophet), ” I have heard this man re –
citing Surat-al-Furqan in a way that you have not taught me.” The Prophet said: “(O ‘Umar) release
him! Recite, O Hisham.” Hisham recited in the way I heard him reciting. Allah’s Apostle said, “It was
revealed like this.” Then Allah’s Apostle said, “Recite, O ‘Umar!” I recited in the way he had taught me,
whereupon he said, “It was revealed like this,” and added, “The Quran has been revealed to be recited
in seven different ways, so recite of it whichever is easy for you .” (See Hadith No. 514, Vol. 6)

been created.’
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 642:
Narrated ‘Ali:
While the Prophet was in a funeral procession, he took a stick and started scraping the earth with
it and said, “There is none of you but has his place assigned either in Hell or in Paradise.” They (the
people) said, “Shall we not depend upon that (and give up doing any deeds)?’ He said, ” Carry on do –
ing (good deeds) for everybody will find it easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined
place for which he has been created .” (And then the Prophet recited the Verse):– ‘As for him who
gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah…’ (92.5)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 633:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
A Jew and Jewess were brought to the Prophet on a charge of committing an illegal sexual inter –
course. The Prophet asked the Jews, “What do you (usually) do with them?” They said, “We blacken
their faces and disgrace them.” He said, “Bring here the Torah and recite it, if you are truthful.” They
(fetched it and) came and asked a one-eyed man to recite. He went on reciting till he reached a por –
tion on which he put his hand. The Prophet said, “Lift up your hand!” He lifted his hand up and be –
hold, there appeared the verse of Ar-Rajm (stoning of the adulterers to death). Then he said, “O
Muhammad! They should be stoned to death but we conceal this Divine Law among ourselves.” Then
the Prophet ordered that the two sinners be stoned to death and, and they were stoned to death, and I
saw the man protecting the woman from the stones. (See Hadith No. 809, Vol. 8)
