Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying the salam to his right, as-salamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullah, until the whiteness of his right check could be seen, and to his left in like manner.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I will reach the Cistern ahead of you, and I will plead concerning some men of my Companions, then I will have to give them up. It will be said to me: You do not know what they did after you were gone.”

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) that

The envoy of Musailimah came to the Prophet (ﷺ), who said to him: "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?” He said something to him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Were it not that I do not kill envoy - or were I to kill any envoy - I would have killed you.”

It was narrated that `Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

A man was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) on - whom cautery had been performed and he said: "Cauterize him or use hot rocks."

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite "then is there any one who will remember (or receive admonition) (fahal min muddakir)?” (al-Qamar 54:17).

It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

A man came and said to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I did everything with a woman, except that I did not have intercourse with her. Then Allah revealed the words: "And perform As-Salat (Iqamatas-Salat), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night (i.e. the five compulsory Salat (prayers)). Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins)" (Hood 11:114).

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) that

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to a man: "Were it not that you are an envoy, I would have killed you.”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah has caused Abu Jahl to be killed. He said: "Praise be to Allah Who has granted victory to His slave and caused His religion to prevail." On one occasion he - i.e. Umayyah - said: "... Who has fulfilled His promise to His slave and has caused His religion to prevail."

It was narrated that Abu Aqrab said:

I went to Ibn Mas'ood one morning in Ramadan and I found him sitting on the roof of his house. We heard his voice and he was saying: Allah spoke the truth and His Messenger conveyed the message. We said: We heard you saying, Allah spoke the truth and His Messenger conveyed the message. He said: Verily the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Lailatal-Qadr is halfway through the last seven nights of Ramadan, and on that morning the sun rises clear, with no rays." I looked at it and I found it as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said.

It was narrated that Abu 'Aqrab al-Asadi said:

I went to 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) one morning... And he narrated a similar report.

It was narrated that Masrouq said:

We were sitting with ‘Abdullah in the mosque and he was teaching us Qur'an. A man came and said: O Ibn Mas'ood, did your Prophet tell you how many caliphs there would be after him? He said: Yes, like the number of the leaders of the Children of Israel.”

It was narrated that `Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to fast three days at the beginning of every month, and he rarely did not fast on a Friday.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Masood (رضي الله عنه) said:

Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on one of his journeys, we heard a caller calling: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. The Prophet Allah (ﷺ) said: “In a state of fitrah (sound human nature).” He said: I bear witness that there is no God but Allah. The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ), said: “He has escaped the Fire.” We rushed to see who it was, and it was a man tending a flock of sheep; the time for prayer had come and he gave the call for it.

Shaqeeq bin Salamah said: I heard Ibn Mas'ood say:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "I saw Jibreel at Sidratal-Muntaha; he had six hundred wings.” He said: I asked 'Asim about the wings and he refused to tell me. Then one of his companions told me that the wing (filled the area between) the east and the west.

Shaqeeq said I heard Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) say:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Jibreel came to me in green brocade to which pearls were attached.”

It was narrated from Ishaq bin Abil-Kahtalah: Muhammad said: I think it was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood that he said:

Muhammad did not see Jibreel in his real form except on two occasions. On one occasion he asked him to show himself in his real form, so he showed him his real form and he filled the horizon. On the other occasion, it was when he ascended with him (to heaven). (Allah said:) "While he (Jibreel (Gabriel)), was in the highest part of the horizon, (Tafseer Ibn Katheer). Then he (Jibreel (Gabriel) approached and came closer, And was at a distance of two bows' length or (even) nearer. So (Allah) revealed to His slave (Muhammad through Jibreel (Gabriel) A.S.) whatever He revealed” (an-Najm 53:7–10). When Jibreel came close to his Lord, he went back to his real form and prostrated, (And Allah says:) "And indeed he (Muhammad (ﷺ)) saw him (Jibreel (Gabriel)) at a second descent (i.e. another time). Near Sidratul-Muntaha (a lote tree of the utmost boundary over the seventh heaven beyond which none can pass). Near it is the Paradise of Abode. When that covered the lote tree which did cover it! The sight (of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)) turned not aside (right or left), nor it transgressed beyond the limit (ordained for it). Indeed he (Muhammad (ﷺ)) did see of the Greatest signs, of his Lord (Allah)" (an-Najm 53:13-18), he (Ibn Mas'ood) said: Jibreel's real form.

It was narrated that Abu Wa'il said: 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Whoever ascribes a rival to Allah, Allah will put him in Hell.” And he ('Abdullah) said: And there is something else I say that I did not hear from him: whoever dies not ascribing any rival to Allah, Allah will admit him to Paradise. And these prayers are expiation for whatever (sins) come in between, so long as killing (murder) is avoided.

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "I will reach the Cistern ahead of you, and I will plead for some people of my ummah, but I will have to give them up. I will say: O Lord, my companions. But it will be said: You do not know what they did after you were gone."

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to fast when he was travelling (sometimes) and he would not fast (sometimes), and he would pray two rak'ahs only, i.e. he did not add to them - i.e., the obligatory prayers.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “those who will be most severely punished on the Day of Resurrection are: a man who was killed by a Prophet or who killed a Prophet, a leader who led people in the way of misguidance, and a maker of images."

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whoever is stricken with poverty and refers his need to people, his poverly will not be alleviated, but whoever refers his need to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, soon Allah will make him independent of means, either by bringing about his death soon or by swiftly making him independent of means."

It was narrated that Tariq bin Shihab said:

We were sitting with 'Abdullah when a man came and said: The iqamah (call immediately preceding the prayer) has been given. So he got up and we got up with him, and when we entered the mosque we saw the people bowing at the front of the mosque, so he said takbeer and bowed, and we bowed, then we walked and did what he did. A man came rushing past and said, ‘Alaikas-salam (upon you be peace) O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman. He said: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. When we had prayed and gone back, he went in to see his family and we sat and said to one another: Did you not hear his response to the man: Allah spoke the truth and His Messengers conveyed (the message)? Which of you will ask him? Tariq said: I will ask him. So he asked him when he came out, and he narrated from the Prophet (ﷺ): "Ahead of the Hour, greetings of salam will only be given to people whom one knows; commerce will become so widespread that a woman will help her husband in trade, ties of kinship will be severed; there will be false testimony and concealment of testimony; and there will be widespread use of the pen (i.e., literacy)."

It was narrated that ‘Amr bin al-Harith bin Abi Dirar al-Khuza'i said:

I heard 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) say: I did not fast twenty-nine days with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) more often that I fasted thirty days with him.

It was narrated from Abdur-Rahman bin al-Aswad, from his father, that Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) told him that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) usually departed, after the prayer, to the left, towards the apartments of his wives.

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

To swear nine times that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was killed is dearer to me than swearing once that he was not killed. That is because Allah made him a Prophet and took him as a martyr. Al-A'mash said: I mentioned that to Ibraheem and he said: They used to think that the Jews had poisoned him and Abu Bakr.
