Volume 9, Book 93, Number 645:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The delegates of ‘Abdul Qais came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “The pagans of the tribe of Mudar
intervene between you and us therefore we cannot come to you except in the Holy months. So please
order us to do something good (Religious deeds) by which we may enter Paradise (by acting on
them) and we may inform our people whom we have left behind to observe it.” The Prophet said, “I
order you to do four things and forbid you from four things: I order you to believe in Allah. Do you
know what is meant by belief in Allah? It is to testify that none has the right to be worshipped except
Allah, to offer prayers perfectly, to give Zakat, and to give Al-Khumus (one-fifth of the war booty)
(in Allah’s Cause). And I forbid you four things, (i.e., Do not drink alcoholic drinks) Ad-Dubba, An-
Naqir, (pitched water skins), Az-Zuruf, Al-Muzaffat and Al–Hantam (names of utensils used for the
preparation of alcoholic drinks).” (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1)

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet was hiding himself in Mecca and used to recite the (Qur’an) in a loud voice. When

Prophet: ‘Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.’ (17.110)

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 616:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
regarding the explanation of the Verse:– ‘(O Muhammad!) Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say
it in a low tone.’ (17.110) This Verse was revealed while Allah’s Apostle was hiding himself at Mecca.
At that time, when he led his companions in prayer, he used to raise his voice while reciting the
Qur’an; and if the pagans heard him, they would abuse the Qur’an, its Revealer, and the one who
brought it. So Allah said to His Prophet: “Neither say your prayer aloud. i.e., your recitation (of
Qur’an) lest the pagans should hear (it) and abuse the Quran” nor say it in a low tone, “lest your
voice should fail to reach your companions, “but follow a way between.” (17.110)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 590:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Whenever the Prophet offered the night (Tahajjud) prayer, he used to say, “O Allah! All the Praises
are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. And all the Praises are for You; You are
the Keeper of the Heavens and the Earth. All the Praises are for You; You are the Lord of the Heavens
and the Earth and whatever is therein. You are the Truth, and Your Promise is the Truth, and Your
Speech is the Truth, and meeting You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth and Hell (Fire) is the
Truth and all the prophets are the Truth and the Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender to You, and
believe in You, and depend upon You, and repent to You, and in Your cause I fight and with Your
orders I rule. So please forgive my past and future sins and those sins which I did in secret or in pub –
lic. It is You Whom I worship, None has the right to be worshipped except You .” (See Hadith No.

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 582:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
(regarding the Verse):– ‘Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.’ (17.110) This
Verse was revealed while Allah’s Apostle was hiding himself in Mecca, and when he raised his voice
while reciting the Qur’an, the pagans would hear him and abuse the Qur’an and its Revealer and to
the one who brought it. So Allah said:–
‘Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.’ (17.110) That is, ‘Do not say your prayer
so loudly that the pagans can hear you, nor say it in such a low tone that your companions do not
hear you.’ But seek a middle course between those (extremes), i.e., let your companions hear, but do
not relate the Qur’an loudly, so that they may learn it from you.

Apostle saying, “While Moses was sitting in the company of some Israelites a man came to him and
asked, ‘Do you know Someone who is more learned than you (Moses)?’ Moses said, ‘No.’ So Allah sent
the Divine inspiration to Moses:–
‘Yes, Our Slave Khadir is more learned than you’ Moses asked Allah how to meet him ( Khadir) So
Allah made the fish as a sign for him and it was said to him, ‘When you lose the fish, go back (to the
place where you lose it) and you will meet him.’ So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in
the sea. The boy servant of Moses (who was accompanying him) said to him, ‘Do you remember
(what happened) when we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget to tell you (about) the
fish. None but Satan made me forget to tell you about it’ (18.63) Moses said:
‘That is what we have been seeking.” Sa they went back retracing their footsteps. (18.64). So they
both found Kadir (there) and then happened what Allah mentioned about them (in the Quran)!’ (See
18.60-82)
