Allah’s Book (the Qur’an) which is the most recent of the Books revealed by Allah, and you read it in
its pure undistorted form?”
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57:
Narrated ‘Ikrima:
Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to ‘Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached
Ibn ‘Abbas who said, “If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Apostle for –
bade it, saying, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire).’ I would have killed them ac –

Volume 8, Book 75, Number 349:
Narrated ‘Ikrima:
Ibn ‘Abbas said, “Preach to the people once a week, and if you won’t, then preach them twice, but if
you want to preach more, then let it be three times (a week only), and do not make the people fed-up
with this Qur’an. If you come to some people who are engaged in a talk, don’t start interrupting their
talk by preaching, lest you should cause them to be bored. You should rather keep quiet, and if they
ask you, then preach to them at the time when they are eager to hear what you say. And avoid the
use of rhymed prose in invocation for I noticed that Allah’s Apostle and his companions always
avoided it.”

Narrated ‘Ikrima:
Rifa’a divorced his wife whereupon ‘AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. ‘Aisha
said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and
showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each
other, so when Allah’s Apostle came, ‘Aisha said, “I have not seen any woman suffering as much as
the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!” When ‘AbdurRahman heard that
his wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, “By Allah! I
have done no wrong to him but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this,” holding and showing
the fringe of her garment, ‘Abdur-Rahman said, “By Allah, O Allah’s Apostle! She has told a lie! I am
very strong and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifa’a.” Allah’s Apostle
said, to her, “If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifa’a unless
Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you.” Then the Prophet saw two boys with ‘Abdur-
Rahman and asked (him), “Are these your sons?” On that ‘AbdurRahman said, “Yes.” The Prophet said,
“You claim what you claim (i.e.. that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as a
crow resembles a crow,”

Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I do not blame Thabit for any defects in his character or
his religion, but I cannot endure to live with him.” On that Allah’s Apostle said, “Will you return his
garden to him?” She said, “Yes.”

the mosque, one brick at a time while ‘Ammar used to carry two at a time. The Prophet passed by
‘Ammar and removed the dust off his head and said, “May Allah be merciful to ‘Ammar. He will be
killed by a rebellious aggressive group. ‘Ammar will invite them to (obey) Allah and they will invite
him to the (Hell) fire.”
