Volume 2, Book 19, Number 176:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Masud:
The Prophet recited Surat-an-Najm (53) and prostrated while reciting it and all the people pros –
trated and a man amongst the people took a handful of stones or earth and raised it to his face and
said, “This is sufficient for me. Later on I saw him killed as a Nobel ever. “

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
The Prophet said, “The Adhan pronounced by Bilal should not stop you from taking Suhur, for he
pronounces the Adhan at night, so that the one offering the late night prayer (Tahajjud) from among

you might hurry up and the sleeping from among you might wake up. It does not mean that dawn or
morning has started.” Then he (the Prophet) pointed with his fingers and raised them up (towards
the sky) and then lowered them (towards the earth) like this (Ibn Mas’ud imitated the gesture of the
Prophet). Az-Zuhri gestured with his two index fingers which he put on each other and then
stretched them to the right and left. These gestures illustrate the way real dawn appears. It spreads
left and right horizontally. The dawn that appears in the high sky and lowers down is not the real
dawn) .
Volume 1, Book 4, Number 241:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
Once the Prophet was offering prayers at the Ka’ba. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of his compan –
ions. One of them said to the others, “Who amongst you will bring the abdominal contents (intest –
ines, etc.) of a camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back of Muhammad, when he prostrates?”
The most unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He waited till the Prophet prostrated and then
placed it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching but could not do any thing. I wish I had
some people with me to hold out against them. They started laughing and falling on one another. Al –
lah’s Apostle was in prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet’s daughter) came
and threw that (camel’s abdominal contents) away from his back. He raised his head and said thrice,
“O Allah! Punish Quraish.” So it was hard for Abu Jahl and his companions when the Prophet in –

this city (Mecca). The Prophet said, “O Allah! Punish Abu Jahl, ‘Utba bin Rabi’a, Shaiba bin Rabi’a, Al-

Walid bin ‘Utba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, and ‘Uqba bin Al Mu’it (and he mentioned the seventh whose
name I cannot recall). By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I saw the dead bodies of those persons
who were counted by Allah’s Apostle in the Qalib (one of the wells) of Badr.

The Prophet said, “Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. (The first is) A person, whom
Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously; (the second is) the one whom Allah has given
wisdom (the Holy Qur’an) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.” (Fateh-al-Bari page
