Volume 8 Book 74 Hadith 285

Volume 8, Book 74, Number 285:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
While I was walking with the Prophet at the Hurra of Medina in the evening, the mountain of
Uhud appeared before us. The Prophet said, “O Abu Dhar! I would not like to have gold equal to
Uhud (mountain) for me, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar remains of it with me, for
more than one day or three days, except that single Dinar which I will keep for repaying debts. I will
spend all of it (the whole amount) among Allah’s slaves like this and like this and like this.” The
Prophet pointed out with his hand to illustrate it and then said, “O Abu Dhar!” I replied, “Labbaik wa
Sa’daik, O Allah’s Apostle!” He said, “Those who have much wealth (in this world) will be the least re –
warded (in the Hereafter) except those who do like this and like this (i.e., spend their money in char –
ity).” Then he ordered me, “Remain at your place and do not leave it, O Abu Dhar, till I come back.”
He went away till he disappeared from me. Then I heard a voice and feared that something might
have happened to Allah’s Apostle, and I intended to go (to find out) but I remembered the statement
of Allah’s Apostle that I should not leave, my place, so I kept on waiting (and after a while the Proph –
et came), and I said to him, “O Allah’s Apostle, I heard a voice and I was afraid that something might
have happened to you, but then I remembered your statement and stayed (there). The Prophet said,
“That was Gabriel who came to me and informed me that whoever among my followers died without
joining others in worship with Allah, would enter Paradise.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Even if he had
committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?” He said, “Even if he had committed illegal sexual in –
tercourse and theft ‘

Narrated Muadh:
While I was a companion rider with the Prophet he said, “O Mu’adh!” I replied, “Labbaik wa
Sa’daik.” He repeated this call three times and then said, “Do you know what Allah’s Right on His
slaves is?” I replied, “No.” He said, Allah’s Right on His slaves is that they should worship Him (Alone)
and should not join partners in worship with Him.” He said, “O Mu’adh!” I replied, “Labbaik wa
Sa’daik.” He said, “Do you know what the right of (Allah’s) salves on Allah is, if they do that (worship
Him Alone and join none in His worship)? It is that He will not punish them.”

Volume 8 Book 74 Hadith 282

Volume 8, Book 74, Number 282:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas:
‘Ali bin Abu Talib came out of the house of the Prophet during his fatal ailment. The people asked
(‘Ali), “O Abu Hasan! How is the health of Allah’s Apostle this morning?” ‘Ali said, “This morning he is
better, with the grace of Allah.” Al-‘Abbas held Ali by the hand and said, “Don’t you see him (about to
die)? By Allah, within three days you will be the slave of the stick (i.e., under the command of anoth –
er ruler). By Allah, I think that Allah’s Apostle will die from his present ailment, for I know the signs
of death on the faces of the offspring of ‘Abdul Muttalib. So let us go to Allah’s Apostle to ask him
who will take over the Caliphate. If the authority is given to us, we will know it, and if it is given to
somebody else we will request him to recommend us to him. ” ‘Ali said, “By Allah! If we ask Allah’s
Apostle for the rulership and he refuses, then the people will never give it to us. Besides, I will never
ask Allah’s Apostle for it.” (See Hadith No 728, Vol 5)

Volume 8, Book 74, Number 281:
Narrated Ibn Mas’ud:
Allah’s Apostle taught me the Tashah-hud as he taught me a Sura from the Quran, while my hand
was between his hands. (Tashah-hud was) all the best compliments and the prayers and the good
things are for Allah. Peace and Allah’s Mercy and Blessings be on you, O Prophet! Peace be on us and
on the pious slaves of Allah, I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I also
testify that Muhammad is Allah’s slave and His Apostle. (We used to recite this in the prayer) during
the lifetime of the Prophet , but when he had died, we used to say, “Peace be on the Prophet.”
