Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The Shaitan passed by me and I grabbed hold of him and strangled him until I felt the coolness of his tongue on my hands and he said: “You hurt me, you hurt me.”

It was narrated from ‘Alqamah and al-Aswad that

They were with Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) when the time for prayer came. 'Alqarnah and al-Aswad were late, so Ibn Mas'ood took them by their hands and put one of them on his right and the other on his left, then they bowed and they put their hands on their knees. He smacked their bands, then he put his palms together and interlaced his fingers, and put (his hands) between his thighs. And he said: I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) do that.

It was narrated from al Aswad bin Yazeed and 'Alqamah bin Qais...

And he narrated (the same report).

It was narrated that Khumair bin Malik said:

Instructions were issued to replace the Mushafs, and Ibn Masood (رضي الله عنه) said: Whoever among you is able to keep his Mushaf, let him do so, for the one who keeps something will come with it on the Day of Resurrection. Then he said: I learned seventy soorahs from the lips of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ); should I abandon what I learned from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?

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

al-'Aqib and as-Sayyid, the leaders of Najran, came and wanted to engage in mula'anah (mutual invoking of curses upon whichever party is wrong) with The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Then one of them said to the other: Do not engage in mula'anah with him, for by Allah if he is a Prophet (ﷺ) and engages in mula'anah with us, we will never prosper and neither will our offspring. Then they went to him and said: We will not engage in mula'anah with you; rather we will give you what you asked for. Send with us a trustworthy man. And the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I shall certainly send a trustworthy man; he is indeed trustworthy, he is indeed trustworthy.” All the Companions of Muhammad (ﷺ) hoped to be the one, then he said: "Get up, O Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah.” When he left with them, he (the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “This is the trustee of this ummah."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood said:

When the Prophet (ﷺ) went to sleep - Abu Ahmad said: went to his bed - he put his right hand under his cheek - Abu Ahmad said: his right cheek - then he said: “O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day You gather Your slaves together.”

Wakee told us…

A similar report.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say salam in his prayer to his right and to his left. (turning his face so far that) the whiteness of his cheek could be seen.

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

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who is the most truthful one, (say): "The creation of any one of you is put together in his mother's womb for forty days, then he becomes a 'alaqah (a piece of thick coagulated blood) for a similar period, then he becomes like a chewed piece of flesh (mudghah) for a similar period, then Allah sends to him one of the angels and says: ‘Write down his deeds, his lifespan, his provision, and write down whether he is doomed (to Hell) or blessed (destined for Paradise).’" Then he said: By the One in whose hand is the soul of `Abdullah, a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise until there is nothing between him and Paradise but a cubit, then the misfortune overtakes him and he does the deeds of the people of Hell, then he dies and enters Hell. Then he said: By the One in Whose hand is the soul of ‘Abdullah, a man may do the deeds of the people of Hell until there is nothing between him and Hell but a cubit, then the good fortune overtakes him and he does the deeds of the people of Paradise, then he dies and enters Paradise.

'Abdullah bin Sakhbarah Abu Ma'mar said:

I heard Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me the tashahhud - with my hand between his hands - as he would teach me a soorah of the Qur'an. He said: All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us, and on the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. (That was) when he was still among us; when he passed away we began to say: peace be upon the Prophet (ﷺ).

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that he said:

Whoever would like to meet Allah, may He be exalted, tomorrow as a Muslim, let him regularly offer these prayers where the call to prayer is given, for Allah has prescribed the ways of guidance to your Prophet (ﷺ) and they (the prayers) are among the ways of guidance. If you pray in your houses like this one who stays away from the mosque prays in his house, you will have forsaken the Sunnah of your Prophet, and if you forsake the Sunnah of your Prophet you will go astray. There is no man who purifies himself and purifies himself well, then he goes to one of these mosques, but Allah will record one good deed for him for every step he takes, and will raise him in status one degree thereby, and will erase one bad deed thereby. I remember when no one would stay away from it but a hypocrite whose hypocrisy was known, and a man would come staggering between two others in order to stand in the row.

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

I prayed one night with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he remained standing until I thought of doing something bad. We said: What did you think of doing? He said: I thought of sitting down and leaving the Prophet (ﷺ).

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

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

We asked our Prophet (ﷺ) about walking with the bier and he said: "A rapid walk, for if he (the deceased) was good, he will be hastened (to something good), and if he was otherwise, then away with the people of Hell. The bier should be followed rather than follow, he is not one of its who walks ahead of it.”

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

When I tell you of a hadeeth from The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), then think of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as being the best, the most guided and the must pious.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazeed that

He did Hajj with 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه). He stoned the biggest Jamarah with seven pebbles, putting the House (the Ka'bah) on his left and Mina on his right, and he said: This is the place where the one to whom Sooratal-Baqarah was revealed stood.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazeed that

'Abdullah bin Mas'ood went to the bottom of the valley and stood perpendicular to the Jamarat. putting the mountain behind his back, then he stoned (the Jamarat) and he said. This is the place where the one to whom Sooratal-Baqarah was revealed stood.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

I used to greet the Prophet (ﷺ) with salam when he was praying and he would return the greeting. Then I greeted him with salam one day and he did not say anything to me in response, and I felt upset. I said: O Messenger of Allah, I used to greet you with salam when you were praying and you would return my greeting. Then I greeted you with salam and you did not say anything to me in response. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Verily Allah introduces into His matter (i.e. religion) whatever He wants."

It was narrated from Masrooq that

A woman came to Ibn Mas'ood and said: I have been told that you forbid hair extensions? He said: Yes. She said: Is it something that you find in the Book of Allah or that you heard from The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He said: I find it in the Book of Allah and from The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She said: By Allah, I have read what is between the covers of the Mushaf and I did not find in it what you are saying. He said: Did you find in it (the words), "And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad (ﷺ)) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)" (al-Hashr 59:7)? She said: Yes. He said: Then I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbid plucking facial hair, filing teeth, adding hair extensions and tattooing except in the case of disease. The woman said: Perhaps some of your womenfolk do that? He said: Go inside (and see). She went inside, then she came out and said: I did not see anything wrong. He said: (If it were otherwise) I would not have paid heed to the recommendation of the righteous slave of Allah, "I wish not, in contradiction to you, to do that which I forbid you" (Hood 11:88).

And (our Lord admires) a man who goes out to fight for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted; then others fled but he realized the consequences of fleeing and the consequences of returning to the fight, so he went back (and fought) until his blood was shed, seeking that which is with Me and fearing that which is with Me. And Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says to His angels: ‘Look at My slave, he went back (and fought) seeking that which is with Me and fearing that which is with Me, until his blood was shed.’”

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood from

The Prophet (ﷺ) that he used to recite this supplication: “O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, abstinence (from that which is haram and is not appropriate) and independence of means.”
