Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, “If while you are praying, somebody intends to pass in front of you, prevent him;
and should he insist, prevent him again; and if he insists again, fight with him (i.e. prevent him viol –
ently e.g. pushing him violently), because such a person is (like) a devil.”
Narrated Muhammad bin Sirin: Abu Huraira said, “Allah’s Apostle put me in charge of the Zakat of
Ramadan (i.e. Zakat-ul-Fitr). Someone came to me and started scooping some of the foodstuff of (Za –
kat) with both hands. I caught him and told him that I would take him to Allah’s Apostle.” Then Abu
Huraira told the whole narration and added “He (i.e. the thief) said, ‘Whenever you go to your bed,
recite the Verse of “Al-Kursi” (2.255) for then a guardian from Allah will be guarding you, and Satan
will not approach you till dawn.’ ” On that the Prophet said, “He told you the truth, though he is a
liar, and he (the thief) himself was the Satan.”

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, “The people of Paradise will look at the dwellers of the lofty mansions (i.e. a su –
perior place in Paradise) in the same way as one looks at a brilliant star far away in the East or in the
West on the horizon; all that is because of their superiority over one another (in rewards).” On that
the people said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Are these lofty mansions for the prophets which nobody else can
reach? The Prophet replied,” No! “By Allah in whose Hands my life is, these are for the men who be –
lieved in Allah and also believed in the Apostles.”

When the tribe of Bani Quraiza was ready to accept Sad’s judgment, Allah’s Apostle sent for Sad
who was near to him. Sad came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Allah’s Apostle said (to the
Ansar), “Stand up for your leader.” Then Sad came and sat beside Allah’s Apostle who said to him.
“These people are ready to accept your judgment.” Sad said, “I give the judgment that their warriors
should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners.” The Prophet then re –
marked, “O Sad! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of the King Allah.”

Volume 4 – 655 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 52: FIGHTING FOR THE CAUSE OF ALLAH (JIHAAD)
Allah’s Apostle ascended the pulpit and said, “Nothing worries me as to what will happen to you
after me, except the temptation of worldly blessings which will be conferred on you.” Then he men –
tioned the worldly pleasures. He started with the one (i.e. the blessings) and took up the other (i.e. the
pleasures). A man got up saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! Can the good bring about evil?” The Prophet re –
mained silent and we thought that he was being inspired divinely, so all the people kept silent with
awe. Then the Prophet wiped the sweat off his face and asked, “Where is the present questioner?” “Do
you think wealth is good?” he repeated thrice, adding, “No doubt, good produces nothing but good.
Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a stream which either kills or nearly kills the grazing
animals because of gluttony except the vegetation-eating animal which eats till both its flanks are
full (i.e. till it gets satisfied) and then stands in the sun and defecates and urinates and again starts
grazing. This worldly property is sweet vegetation. How excellent the wealth of the Muslim is, if it is
collected through legal means and is spent in Allah’s Cause and on orphans, poor people and travel –
ers. But he who does not take it legally is like an eater who is never satisfied and his wealth will be a
witness against him on the Day of Resurrection.”

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 45:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Somebody asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who is the best among the people?” Allah’s Apostle replied “A
believer who strives his utmost in Allah’s Cause with his life and property.” They asked, “Who is
next?” He replied, “A believer who stays in one of the mountain paths worshipping Allah and leaving
the people secure from his mischief.”

Volume 3, Book 43, Number 645:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, “Beware! Avoid sitting on he roads (ways).” The people said, “There is no way out
of it as these are our sitting places where we have talks.” The Prophet said, “If you must sit there, then
observe the rights of the way.” They asked, “What are the rights of the way?” He said, “They are the
lowering of your gazes (on seeing what is illegal to look at), refraining from harming people, return –
ing greetings, advocating good and forbidding evil.”
