Volume 8, Book 73, Number 187:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said, “Wailakum” (woe to you) or “waihakum” (May Allah be merciful to you).” Shu’ba
is not sure as to which was the right word. “Do not become disbelievers after me by cutting the necks
of one another.”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 175:

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 165:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Inform me of a tree which resembles a Muslim, giving its fruits at every sea –
son by the permission of its Lord, and the leaves of which do not fall.” I thought of the date-palm
tree, but I disliked to speak because Abu Bakr and ‘Umar were present there. When nobody spoke,
the Prophet said, “It is the date-palm tree” When I came out with my father, I said, “O father! It came
to my mind that it was the date-palm tree.” He said, “What prevented you from saying it?” Had you
said it, it would have been more dearer to me than such-and-such a thing (fortune).” I said, “Nothing
prevented me but the fact that neither you nor Abu Bakr spoke, so I disliked to speak (in your pres –
ence).”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 143:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said, “The example of a believer is like a green tree, the leaves of which do not fall.”
The people said. “It is such-and-such tree: It is such-and-such tree.” I intended to say that it was the
datepalm tree, but I was a young boy and felt shy (to answer). The Prophet said, “It is the date-palm
tree.” Ibn ‘Umar added, ” I told that to ‘Umar who said, ‘Had you said it, I would have preferred it to
such-and such a thing.”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 129:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
that he found ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab in a group of people and he was swearing by his father. So Al –
lah’s Apostle called them, saying, “Verily! Allah forbids you to swear by your fathers. If one has to
take an oath, he should swear by Allah or otherwise keep quiet.”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 69:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said at Mina, “Do you know what day is today?” They (the people) replied, “Allah and
His Apostle know better,” He said “Today is 10th of Dhul-Hijja, the sacred (forbidden) day. Do you
know what town is this town?” They (the people) replied, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He
said, “This is the (forbidden) Sacred town (Mecca a sanctuary).” And do you know which month is
this month?” They (the People) replied, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said, ”This is the Sac –
red (forbidden) month .” He added, “Allah has made your blood, your properties and your honor Sac –
red to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours, in this
town of yours.” (See Hadith No. 797, Vol. 2.)

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 73: GOOD MANNERS AND FORM (AL-ADAB)
Allah’s Apostle said, “While three persons were traveling, they were overtaken by rain and they
took shelter in a cave in a mountain. A big rock fell from the mountain over the mouth of the cave
and blocked it. They said to each other. ‘Think of such good (righteous) deeds which, you did for Al –
lah’s sake only, and invoke Allah by giving reference to those deeds so that Allah may relieve you
from your difficulty. one of them said, ‘O Allah! I had my parents who were very old and I had small
children for whose sake I used to work as a shepherd. When I returned to them at night and milked
(the sheep), I used to start giving the milk to my parents first before giving to my children. And one
day I went far away in search of a grazing place (for my sheep), and didn’t return home till late at
night and found that my parents had slept. I milked (my livestock) as usual and brought the milk
vessel and stood at their heads, and I disliked to wake them up from their sleep, and I also disliked to
give the milk to my children before my parents though my children were crying (from hunger) at
my feet.
So this state of mine and theirs continued till the day dawned. (O Allah!) If you considered that I
had done that only for seeking Your pleasure, then please let there be an opening through which we
can see the sky.’ So Allah made for them an opening through which they could see the sky. Then the
second person said, ‘O Allah! I had a she-cousin whom I loved as much as a passionate man love a
woman. I tried to seduce her but she refused till I paid her one-hundred Dinars So I worked hard till
I collected one hundred Dinars and went to her with that But when I sat in between her legs (to have
sexual intercourse with her), she said, ‘O Allah’s slave! Be afraid of Allah ! Do not deflower me ex –
cept legally (by marriage contract). So I left her O Allah! If you considered that I had done that only
for seeking Your pleasure then please let the rock move a little to have a (wider) opening.’
So Allah shifted that rock to make the opening wider for them. And the last (third) person said ‘O
Allah ! I employed a laborer for wages equal to a Faraq (a certain measure: of rice, and when he had
finished his job he demanded his wages, but when I presented his due to him, he gave it up and re –
fused to take it. Then I kept on sowing that rice for him (several times) till managed to buy with the
price of the yield, some cows and their shepherd Later on the laborer came to me an said. ‘(O Allah’s
slave!) Be afraid o Allah, and do not be unjust to me an give me my due.’ I said (to him). ‘Go and take
those cows and their shepherd. So he took them and went away. (So, O Allah!) If You considered that
I had done that for seeking Your pleasure, then please remove the remaining part of the rock.’ And so
Allah released them (from their difficulty).”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 11:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
My father, seeing a silken cloak being sold, said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Buy this and wear it on Fridays
and when the foreign delegates pay a visit to you.” He said, “This is worn only by that person who
will have no share in the Hereafter.” Later a few silken cloaks were given to the Prophet as a gift, and
he sent one of those cloaks to ‘Umar. ‘Umar said (to the Prophet), “How can I wear it while you have

said about it what you said?” The Prophet said, “I did not give it to you to wear but to sell or to give to
someone else to wear.” So ‘Umar sent it to his (pagan) brother who was from the inhabitants of
Mecca before he (‘Umar’s brother) embraced Islam.
