It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the cave and "By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another” (al-Mursalat 77) was revealed to him. I learned it from his lips when it was fresh (had just been revealed), but I do not know with which words he ended it, “Then in what statement after this (the Qur'an) will they believe?" (v. 50) or "And when it is said to them: ‘Bow down yourself (in prayer)!’ They bow not down (offer not their prayers)” (v.48). A snake got away from us and entered a hole, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You have been protected from its evil and it has been protected from your evil.”
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
We used to greet the Prophet (ﷺ) (when he was praying) when we were in Makkah before we went to Abyssinia. When we came from Abyssinia, we came to him and greeted him (when he was praying) but he did not return the greeting and I got very distressed and started trying to find out why, until they finished praying. I asked him and he said: "Allah introduces whatever He wants into His matter (i.e., religion) and He has decreed that we should not speak whilst praying.”
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) that
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever swears an oath to take the property of a Muslim unlawfully will meet Allah when He is angry with him.” And The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the confirmation of that from the Book of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted: “Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter (Paradise). Neither will Allah speak to them.” (Al 'Imran 3:77).
It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) that
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "No one withholds the zakah of his wealth but a bald-headed serpent will be made for him which will follow him, and he will flee from it and it will follow him, saying: "I am your treasure.” Then ‘Abdullah recited the confirmation of that from the Book of Allah: "the things which they covetously withheld, shall be tied to their necks like a collar on the Day of Resurrection” [Al 'Imran 3:180]
It was narrated that Abu 'Abdur-Rahman 'Abdullah bin Habeeb said:
I heard 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) attribute it to the Prophet (ﷺ): “Allah has not sent down any disease but He has also sent down a remedy for it; those who know it know it and those who did not know it is not know it.”
It was narrated from `Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) from
The Prophet (ﷺ) “I disavow the friendship of anyone who claims I am his close friend. If I were to have taken a close friend (khaleel) I would have taken Abu Bakr as a close friend, but your companion (meaning himself) is the close friend (khaleel) of Allah.”
We were waiting in the mosque for 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) to come out to us. Yazeed bin Mu'awiyah - i.e., an-Nakha'i - came to us and said: Shall I go and see if he is in the house? Maybe I could bring him out to you. He came out to us and said: I was told about you being here but I do not want to come out to you for fear of boring you. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to choose the right time to address us for fear of boring us.
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه):
The Prophet (ﷺ) entered (the Mosque) and around the Ka'bah were three hundred and sixty idols. And he started prodding them with a stick that he had in his hand and saying: "Al-Haqq (the truth, i.e. the Qur'an and Allah's Revelation) has come, and Al-Batil (falsehood-Iblees (Satan)) can neither create anything nor resurrect (anything)" (Saba' 34:49) and “Truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism or this Qur'an or Jihad against polytheists) has come and Batil (falsehood, i.e. Satan or polytheism) has vanished. Surely, Batil is ever bound to vanish” (al-Isra' 17:81).
It was narrated that Abu Majid al-Hanafi said: I heard ‘Abdullah say:
We asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about walking in funeral processions and he said: "(The bier) is to be followed and should not follow (or be preceded).”
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in Mina and a snake appeared. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Kill it.” We rushed to kill it but it got away from us.
‘Abdullah used to come out to us and say: I was told about you being here, and nothing kept me from coming out to you but the fact that I did not want to bore you. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to choose the right time to exhort us because he did not want to bore us.
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
When one of you bows, let him put his forearms on his thighs, and bow down, and put his hands together. It is as if I can see the interlaced fingers of The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Then he put his hands together and showed them.
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
When this verse was revealed, “It is those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah and worship none but Him Alone) and confuse not their Belief with Zulm, (wrong, i.e. by worshipping others besides Allah)" (al-An'am 6:82), it was hard on the people and they said: O Messenger of Allah, who among us does not wrong himself? He said: “It is not what you think. Have you not heard what the righteous slave said: ‘O my son! Join not in worship others with Allah. Verily, joining others in worship with Allah is a great Zulm (wrong) indeed’ (Luqman 31:13)? Rather it refers to shirk."
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
A man from the People of the Book came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: O Abul-Qasim, have you heard that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will carry all living beings on one finger, and the heavens on one finger, and the earth on one finger and the trees on one finger and the soil on one finger? The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled so broadly that his molars could be seen, then Allah revealed the words: "They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him..." (az-Zumar 39:67).
He recited Soorat Yoosuf in Hims and a man said: This is not how it was revealed! "Abdullah drew close to him and found the smell of wine on him, and he said: Are you rejecting the truth and drinking alcohol (lit. an abomination)? I will not let you go until I flog you as a hadd punishment. He flogged him as the hadd punishment and he said: By Allah, this is how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught it to me.
I was walking with 'Abdullah in Mina when he was met by 'Uthman. He stood and talked with him and ‘Uthman said to him: O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman, shall we not marry you to a young girl who can remind you of times past? ‘Abdullah said: If that is what you are telling me, (let me tell you that) The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: "O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity. And whoever cannot afford it should fast, for it will be a shield for him.”
It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazeed said:
'Uthman prayed in Mina with four rak’ahs and ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said: I prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) in Mina with two rak'ah's and with Abu Bakr two rak'ahs and with ‘Umar two rak'ahs.
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The best of people are my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come people who will rush to give their testimony before their oath or vice versa (i.e., they will combine their oath and testimony, sometimes putting one before the other, meaning that they will be careless about the issue of testimony and oath).
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Verily I know the last of the people of Hell to emerge from Hell. (It will be) a man who will come out of it crawling. It will be said to him: "Go and enter Paradise." He will go and enter it. and he will find that the people have already occupied their places, so he will go back and say: 'O Lord, the people have already occupied their places." It will be said, "Do you remember the time you were in (Hell)?" He will say, "Yes." It will be said to him, "Wish (for whatever you want). So he will wish, then it will be said to him: ‘You will have what you wished for and ten times as much as the world.’ He will say: ‘Are You mocking me when You are the Sovereign?” He said: And I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiling so broadly that his molars showed.
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah, if I do well in Islam, will I be blamed for what I did during the Jahiliyyah? He said: "If you do well in Islam, you will not be blamed for what you did during the Jahiliyyah, but if you do badly in Islam, you will be blamed for the former and the latter."
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever swears an oath in which he is lying in order to usurp the property of a Muslim will meet Allah when He is angry with him." Al-Ash'ath bin Qais said: By Allah, that was said concerning me. There was a dispute between me and a Jewish man concerning some land; he denied my right, so I took him to the Prophet (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me. “Do you have any proof?" I said: No. He said to the Jewish man: "Swear an oath." I said: O Messenger of Allah, then he will swear an oath and take my property. Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the verse: “Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter (Paradise). Neither will Allah speak to them nor look at them on the Day of Resurrection nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful torment" (Al ‘Imran 3:77)]
It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) said:
I was tending some sheep belonging to 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ait when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr passed by me. He (the Prophet (ﷺ)) said: "O boy, do you have any milk?" I said: Yes, but this is a Trust (i.e., the sheep do not belong to me). He said: “Is there a sheep that has not been impregnated by the ram? I brought a sheep and he wiped its udder and it filled with milk. Then he milked it into a vessel and drank, and he gave some to Abu Bakr to drink. Then he said to the udder: "Dry up,” and it did. Then I came to him after that and said: O Messenger of Allah, teach me some of these words. He patted me on the head and said: "May Allah have mercy on you; you are a little boy and you will learn (later)."
