Volume 9, Book 92, Number 387:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, “My example and the example of what I have been sent with is that of a man
who came to some people and said, ‘O people! I have seen the enemy’s army with my own eyes, and I
am the naked warner; so protect yourselves!’ Then a group of his people obeyed him and fled at
night proceeding stealthily till they were safe, while another group of them disbelieved him and
stayed at their places till morning when the army came upon them, and killed and ruined them
completely So this is the example of that person who obeys me and follows what I have brought (the
Quran and the Sunna), and the example of the one who disobeys me and disbelieves the truth I have
brought.”
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 386:

Hudhaifa said, “O the Group of Al-Qurra! Follow the straight path, for then you have taken a great

Volume 9, Book 92, Number 385:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
Some angels came to the Prophet while he was sleeping. Some of them said, “He is sleeping.” Oth –
ers said, “His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake.” Then they said, “There is an example for this
companion of yours.” One of them said, “Then set forth an example for him.” Some of them said, “He
is sleeping.” The others said, “His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake.” Then they said, “His ex –
ample is that of a man who has built a house and then offered therein a banquet and sent an inviter
(messenger) to invite the people. So whoever accepted the invitation of the inviter, entered the house
and ate of the banquet, and whoever did not accept the invitation of the inviter, did not enter the
house, nor did he eat of the banquet.” Then the angels said, “Interpret this example to him so that he
may understand it.” Some of them said, “He is sleeping.” The others said, “His eyes are sleeping but his
heart is awake.” And then they said, “The houses stands for Paradise and the call maker is
Muhammad; and whoever obeys Muhammad, obeys Allah; and whoever disobeys Muhammad, dis –
obeys Allah. Muhammad separated the people (i.e., through his message, the good is distinguished
from the bad, and the believers from the disbelievers).”

Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The best talk (speech) is Allah’s Book ‘Quran), and the best way is the way of Muhammad, and the
worst matters are the heresies (those new things which are introduced into the religion); and
whatever you have been promised will surely come to pass, and you cannot escape (it).
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 381:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Allah’s Apostle said to us, “Honesty descended from the Heavens and settled in the roots of the
hearts of men (faithful believers), and then the Quran was revealed and the people read the Quran,
(and learnt it from it) and also learnt it from the Sunna.” Both Quran and Sunna strengthened their
(the faithful believers’) honesty. (See Hadith No. 208)

Narrated Abu Wail:
I sat with Shaiba in this Mosque (Al-Masjid-Al-Haram), and he said, “‘Umar once sat beside me
here as you are now sitting, and said, ‘I feel like distributing all the gold and silver that are in it (i.e.,
the Ka’ba) among the Muslims’. I said, ‘You cannot do that.’ ‘Umar said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘Your two (pre –
vious) companions (the Prophet and Abu Bakr) did not do it. ‘Umar said, ‘They are the two persons
whom one must follow.'” (See Hadith No. 664, Vol. 2)
