Volume 9, Book 92, Number 397:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet came out after the sun had declined and offered the Zuhr prayer (in congregation).
After finishing it with Taslim, he stood on the pulpit and mentioned the Hour and mentioned there
would happen great events before it. Then he said, “Whoever wants to ask me any question, may do
so, for by Allah, you will not ask me about anything but I will inform you of its answer as long as I
am at this place of mine.” On this, the Ansar wept violently, and Allah’s Apostle kept on saying, “Ask
Me! ” Then a man got up and asked, ”Where will my entrance be, O Allah’s Apostle?” The Prophet
said, “(You will go to) the Fire.” Then ‘Abdullah bin Hudhaifa got up and asked, “Who is my father, O
Allah’s Apostle?” The Prophet replied, “Your father is Hudhaifa.” The Prophet then kept on saying
(angrily), “Ask me! Ask me!” ‘Umar then knelt on his knees and said, “We have accepted Allah as our
Lord and Islam as our religion and Muhammad as an Apostle.” Allah’s Apostle became quiet when
‘Umar said that. Then Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hand my life is, Paradise and Hell were
displayed before me across this wall while I was praying, and I never saw such good and evil as I
have seen today.”

Volume 9, Book 92, Number 374:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
That he heard ‘Umar speaking while standing on the pulpit of the Prophet in the morning (follow –
ing the death of the Prophet), when the people had sworn allegiance to Abu Bakr. He said the
Tashah-hud before Abu Bakr, and said, “Amma Ba’du (then after) Allah has chosen for his Apostle
what is with Him (Paradise) rather than what is with you (the world). This is that Book (Quran) with
which Allah guided your Apostle, so stick to it, for then you will be guided on the right path as Allah
guided His Apostle with it.”

Volume 9, Book 91, Number 359:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
I used to offer drinks prepared from infused dates to Abu Talha Al-Ansari, Abu ‘Ubada bin Al Jar –
rah and Ubai bin Ka’b. Then a person came to them and said, “All alcoholic drinks have been prohib –
ited.” Abii Talha then said, “O Anas! Get up and break all these jars.” So I got up and took a mortar
belonging to us, and hit the jars with its lower part till they broke.

Volume 9, Book 89, Number 326:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
That he heard ‘Umar’s second speech he delivered when he sat on the pulpit on the day following
the death of the Prophet ‘Umar recited the Tashahhud while Abu Bakr was silent. ‘Umar said, “I wish
that Allah’s Apostle had outlived all of us, i.e., had been the last (to die). But if Muhammad is dead,
Allah nevertheless has kept the light amongst you from which you can receive the same guidance as
Allah guided Muhammad with that. And Abu Bakr is the companion of Allah’s Apostle He is the
second of the two in the cave. He is the most entitled person among the Muslims to manage your af –
fairs. Therefore get up and swear allegiance to him.” Some people had already taken the oath of alle –
giance to him in the shed of Bani Sa’ida but the oath of allegiance taken by the public was taken at
the pulpit. I heard ‘Umar saying to Abu Bakr on that day. “Please ascend the pulpit,” and kept on ur –
ging him till he ascended the pulpit whereupon, all the people swore allegiance to him.

unless it is sealed (stamped).” Therefore the Prophet took a silver ring—-as if I am looking at its glit –
