Volume 7, Book 63, Number 213:
Narrated Nafi:
Ibn ‘Umar used to say about the Ila (which Allah defined (in the Holy Book), “If the period of Ila
expires, then the husband has either to retain his wife in a handsome manner or to divorce her as
Allah has ordered.” Ibn ‘Umar added, “When the period of four months has expired, the husband
should be put in prison so that he should divorce his wife, but the divorce does not occur unless the
husband himself declares it. This has been mentioned by ‘Uthman, ‘Ali, Abu Ad-Darda, ‘Aisha and
twelve other companions of the Prophet .”

Narrated Nafi’:
Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Accept the marriage invitation if you are invited to
it.’ ” Ibn ‘Umar used to accept the invitation whether to a wedding banquet or to any other party,
even when he was fasting.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 59:
Narrated Nafi’:
Whenever ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar was asked about Salat-al-Khauf (i.e. prayer of fear) he said, “The
Imam comes forward with a group of people and leads them in a one Rak’a prayer while another
group from them who has not prayed yet, stay between the praying group and the enemy. When
those who are with the Imam have finished their one Rak’a, they retreat and take the positions of
those who have not prayed but they will not finish their prayers with Taslim. Those who have not
prayed, come forward to offer a Rak’a with the Imam (while the first group covers them from the en –
emy). Then the Imam, having offered two Rakat, finishes his prayer. Then each member of the two
groups offer the second Rak’a alone after the Imam has finished his prayer. Thus each one of the two
groups will have offered two Rakat. But if the fear is too great, they can pray standing on their feet or
riding on their mounts, facing the Qibla or not.” Nafi added: I do not think that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar
narrated this except from Allah’s Apostle (See Hadith No. 451, Vol 5 to know exactly “The Fear Pray –
er.”)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 50:
Narrated Nafi’:
Whenever Ibn ‘Umar recited the Qur’an, he would not speak to anyone till he had finished his re –
citation. Once I held the Qur’an and he recited Surat-al-Baqara from his memory and then stopped
at a certain Verse and said, “Do you know in what connection this Verse was revealed? ” I replied,
“No.” He said, “It was revealed in such-and-such connection.” Ibn ‘Umar then resumed his recitation.
Nafi added regarding the Verse:–“So go to your tilth when or how you will” Ibn ‘Umar said, “It
means one should approach his wife in ..”

During the affliction of Ibn Az-Zubair, two men came to Ibn ‘Umar and said, “The people are lost,
and you are the son of ‘Umar, and the companion of the Prophet, so what forbids you from coming
out?” He said, “What forbids me is that Allah has prohibited the shedding of my brother’s blood.”
They both said, “Didn’t Allah say, ‘And fight then until there is no more affliction?” He said “We
fought until there was no more affliction and the worship is for Allah (Alone while you want to fight
until there is affliction and until the worship become for other than Allah.”

Narrated Nafi (through another group of sub-narrators): A man came to Ibn ‘Umar and said, “O
Abu Abdur Rahman! What made you perform Hajj in one year and Umra in another year and leave
the Jihad for Allah’ Cause though you know how much Allah recommends it?” Ibn ‘Umar replied, “O
son of my brother! Islam is founded on five principles, i.e. believe in Allah and His Apostle, the five
compulsory prayers, the fasting of the month of Ramadan, the payment of Zakat, and the Hajj to the
House (of Allah).” The man said, “O Abu Abdur Rahman! Won’t you listen to why Allah has men –
tioned in His Book: ‘If two groups of believers fight each other, then make peace between them, but if
one of then transgresses beyond bounds against the other, then you all fight against the one that
transgresses. (49.9) and:–“And fight them till there is no more affliction (i.e. no more worshiping of
others along with Allah).” Ibn ‘Umar said, “We did it, during the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle when Is –
lam had only a few followers. A man would be put to trial because of his religion; he would either be
killed or tortured. But when the Muslims increased, there was no more afflictions or oppressions.”
The man said, “What is your opinion about ‘Uthman and ‘Ali?” Ibn ‘Umar said, “As for ‘Uthman, it
seems that Allah has forgiven him, but you people dislike that he should be forgiven. And as for ‘Ali,
he is the cousin of Allah’s Apostle and his son-in-law.” Then he pointed with his hand and said, “That
is his house which you see.”

the term of deliver (i.e. became clean), she prepared herself for suitors. Abu As-Sanabil bin Bu’kak, a
man from the tribe of Bani Abd-ud-Dal called on her and said to her, “What! I see you dressed up

for the people to ask you in marriage. Do you want to marry By Allah, you are not allowed to marry
unless four months and ten days have elapsed (after your husband’s death).” Subai’a in her narration
said, “When he (i.e. Abu As-Sanabil) said this to me. I put on my dress in the evening and went to Al –
lah’s Apostle and asked him about this problem. He gave the verdict that I was free to marry as I had
already given birth to my child and ordered me to marry if I wished.”
