Volume 3 Book 36 Hadith 471

Volume 3, Book 36, Number 471:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, “The example of Muslims, Jews and Christians is like the example of a man who
employed laborers to work for him from morning till night for specific wages. They worked till mid –
day and then said, ‘We do not need your money which you have fixed for us and let whatever we
have done be annulled.’ The man said to them, ‘Don’t quit the work, but complete the rest of it and
take your full wages.’ But they refused and went away. The man employed another batch after them
and said to them, ‘Complete the rest of the day and yours will be the wages I had fixed for the first
batch.’ So, they worked till the time of ‘Asr prayer. Then they said, “Let what we have done be an –
nulled and keep the wages you have promised us for yourself.’ The man said to them, ‘Complete the
rest of the work, as only a little of the day remains,’ but they refused. Thereafter he employed another
batch to work for the rest of the day and they worked for the rest of the day till the sunset, and they
received the wages of the two former batches. So, that was the example of those people (Muslims)
and the example of this light (guidance) which they have accepted willingly.

Volume 3 Book 34 Hadith 314

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 314:
Narrated Abu Musa:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The example of a good companion (who sits with you) in comparison with a
bad one, is I like that of the musk seller and the blacksmith’s bellows (or furnace); from the first you
would either buy musk or enjoy its good smell while the bellows would either burn your clothes or
your house, or you get a bad nasty smell thereof.”

Volume 2 Book 26 Hadith 782

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 782:
Narrated Abu Musa:
came upon Allah’s Apostle when he was at Al-Bat-ha. He asked me, “Have you intended to per –
form the Hajj?” I replied in the affirmative. He asked, “For what have you assumed lhram?” I replied,”
I have assumed Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet .” The Prophet said, “You have
done well! Go and perform Tawaf round the Ka’ba and between Safa and Marwa.” Then I went to
one of the women of Bani Qais and she took out lice from my head. Later, I assumed the Ihram for
Hajj. So, I used to give this verdict to the people till the caliphate of ‘Umar. When I told him about it,
he said, “If we take (follow) the Holy Book, then it orders us to complete Hajj and ‘Umra (Hajj-at-
Tamattu’) and if we follow the tradition of Allah’s Apostle then Allah’s Apostle did not finish his
lhram till the Hadi had reached its destination (had been slaughtered). (i.e. Hajj-al-Qiran). (See
Hadith No. 630)

Volume 2 Book 26 Hadith 630

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 630:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet sent me to some people in Yemen and when I returned, I found him at Al-Batha. He
asked me, “With what intention have you assumed Ihram (i.e. for Hajj or for Umra or for both?”) I
replied, “I have assumed Ihram with an intention like that of the Prophet.” He asked, “Have you a
Hadi with you?” I replied in the negative. He ordered me to perform Tawaf round the Ka’ba and
between Safa and Marwa and then to finish my Ihram. I did so and went to a woman from my tribe
who combed my hair or washed my head. Then, when Umar came (i.e. became Caliph) he said, “If
we follow Allah’s Book, it orders us to complete Hajj and Umra; as Allah says: “Perform the Hajj and
Umra for Allah.” (2.196). And if we follow the tradition of the Prophet who did not finish his Ihram
till he sacrificed his Hadi.”
