Volume 9, Book 92, Number 394:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:
Allah’s Apostle was asked about things which he disliked, and when the people asked too many
questions, he became angry and said, “Ask me (any question).” A man got up and said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! Who is my father?” The Prophet replied, “Your father is Hudhaifa.” Then another man got up
and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who is my father?” The Prophet said, “Your father is Salim, Maula
Shaiba.” When ‘Umar saw the signs of anger on the face of Allah’s Apostle, he said, “We repent to Al –
lah.”
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 217:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:
The Prophet went out to one of the gardens of Medina for some business and I went out to follow
him. When he entered the garden, I sat at its gate and said to myself, “To day I will be the gatekeeper
of the Prophet though he has not ordered me.” The Prophet went and finished his need and went to
sit on the constructed edge of the well and uncovered his legs and hung them in the well. In the
meantime Abu Bakr came and asked permission to enter. I said (to him), “Wait till I get you permis –
sion.” Abu Bakr waited outside and I went to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Prophet! Abu Bakr asks
your permission to enter.” He said, “Admit him, and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise.” So
Abu Bakr entered and sat on the right side of the Prophet and uncovered his legs and hung them in
the well. Then ‘Umar came and I said (to him), “Wait till I get you permission.” The Prophet said, “Ad –
mit him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise.” So Umar entered and sat on the left side
of the Prophet and uncovered his legs and hung them in the well so that one side of the well became
fully occupied and there remained no place for any-one to sit. Then ‘Uthman came and I said (to
him), “Wait till I get permission for you.” The Prophet said, “Admit him and give him the glad tidings
of entering Paradise with a calamity which will befall him.” When he entered, he could not find any
place to sit with them so he went to the other edge of the well opposite them and uncovered his legs
and hung them in the well. I wished that a brother of mine would come, so I invoked Allah for his
coming. (Ibn Al-Musaiyab said, “I interpreted that (narration) as indicating their graves. The first
three are together and the grave of ‘Uthman is separate from theirs.”)
Volume 8, Book 79, Number 709:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:
I went to Allah’s Apostle along with a group of people from (the tribe of) Al-Ash’ari, asking for
mounts. The Prophet said, “By Allah, I will not give you anything to ride, and I have nothing to mount
you on.” We stayed there as long as Allah wished, and after that, some camels were brought to the
Prophet and he ordered that we be given three camels. When we set out, some of us said to others,
“Allah will not bless us, as we all went to Allah’s Apostle asking him for mounts, and although he had
sworn that he would not give us mounts, he did give us.” So we returned to the Prophet; and men –
tioned that to him. He said, “I have not provided you with mounts, but Allah has. By Allah, Allah will –
ing, if I ever take an oath, and then see that another is better than the first, I make expiration for my
(dissolved) oath, and do what is better and make expiration.”
Volume 8, Book 78, Number 671:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:
I went along with some men from the Ash-ariyin to Allah’s Apostle and it happened that I met him
while he was in an angry mood. We asked him to provide us with mounts, but he swore that he
would not give us any. Later on he said, “By Allah, Allah willing, if ever I take an oath (to do some –
thing) and later on I find something else better than the first, then I do the better one and give expi –
ation for the dissolution of my oath.”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 418:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:
The Prophet started ascending a high place or hill. A man (amongst his companions) ascended it
and shouted in a loud voice, “La ilaha illal-lahu wallahu Akbar.” (At that time) Allah’s Apostle was
riding his mule. Allah’s Apostle said, “You are not calling upon a deaf or an absent one.” and added,
“O Abu Musa (or, O ‘Abdullah)! Shall I tell you a sentence from the treasure of Paradise?” I said, “Yes.”
He said, “La haul a wala quwwata illa billah,”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 408:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:
The Prophet used to invoke Allah, saying, “Allahumma ighfirli khati’ati wa jahli wa israfi fi amri,
wa ma anta a-‘lamu bihi minni. Allahumma ighfirli hazali wa jiddi wa khata’i wa amdi, wa kullu
dhalika ‘indi”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 51:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:
The Prophet said, “On every Muslim there is enjoined (a compulsory) Sadaqa (alms).” They (the
people) said, “If one has nothing?’ He said, “He should work with his hands so that he may benefit
himself and give in charity.” They said, “If he cannot work or does not work?” He said, “Then he
should help the oppressed unhappy person (by word or action or both).” They said, “If he does not do
it?” He said, “Then he should enjoin what is good (or said what is reasonable).’ They said, “If he does

not do that”’ He said, “Then he should refrain from doing evil, for that will be considered for Him as a
Sadaqa (charity) . “
