Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidah bin ‘Abdullah bin Mas'ood, 'Affan said: that his father Ibn Mas'ood said:

Verily Allah sent His Prophet (ﷺ) to be the cause of a man entering Paradise. He entered the synagogue and saw some Jews, and a Jew was reading the Torah to them. When they came to a description of the Prophet (ﷺ), they stopped reading. There was a sick man in the gathering, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Why did you stop reading?" The sick man said: They came to a description of a Prophet, so they stopped reading. Then the sick man came crawling until he took the Torah and read until he came to the description of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his ummah. And he said: This is a description of you and your ummah; I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah. Then he died, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to his companions: "Take care of your brother."

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

Beware of saying. So and so died as a martyr or So and so was killed as a martyr, for a man may fight to get booty, or he may fight to be remembered, or he may fight to show off. If you must bear witness that someone is a martyr, then bear witness for the group whom The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent on a campaign and they were killed, and they said: O Allah, tell our Prophet (ﷺ) about us, that we have inet You and we are pleased with You and You are pleased with us.

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

I prayed two rak'ahs with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in Mina, and two rak'ahs with Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه), and two rak'wits with 'Umar (رضي الله عنه), and I wish that I had of these four rak'ahs two that are accepted.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "I spent last night reciting Qur'an to the jinn who were accompanying me in al-Hajoon.”

It was narrated that Qabeesah bin Jabir al-Asadi said:

I went with an old woman of Banu Asad to Ibn Masʼood and he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) curse women who ask for their facial hair to be plucked, women who file their teeth, and women who do tattoos, who change the creation of Allah.”

It was narrated that Qabeesah bin Jabir al-Asadi said:

I went with an old woman of Banu Asad to Ibn Masʼood - and he mentioned the story. ‘Abdullah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) curse women who ask for their facial hair to be plucked, women who file their teeth, and women who do tattoos, who change the creation of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted.”

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood, from his father who said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “For a Muslim to fight his brother is kufr and reviling him is an evil action."

It was narrated from Naheek bin Sinan as-Sulami that he went to 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood and said:

Last night I recited al-Mufassal in one rak'ah. He said: This is like reciting poetry quickly, like dry dates falling from a branch when shaken. Rather it was divided so that you might read it with ease. I learned the pairs that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to put together in one rak'ah, twenty soorahs: ar-Rahman and an-Najm, according to the order of Ibn Mas'ood, each two soorahs in one rak’ah. And he mentioned ad-Dukhan and "Amma yatasa'aloon in one rak’ah.

it was narrated from `Abdullah, from the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said:

"Every betrayer will have a banner, and it will be said: This is the betrayer of So and so.”

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“What a bad thing for one of you - or for one of them - to say, I forgot such and such a verse. Rather he was caused to forget. Keep revising the Qur'an, for by the one іn Whose hand is my soul, it is more likely to flee from the hearts of men than camels from their hobbles."

It was narrated that Ibn Sakhbarah said:

I went out in the morning with ‘Abdullah Bin Mas’ood from Mina to ‘Arafat, and he was reciting the Talbiyah. ‘Abdullah was a dark man with two braids, and he had the look of the people of the desert. Some thugs gathered around him and said: O Bedouin, this is not a day for Talbiyah, rather it is a day for takbeer! At that, he turned to me and said: Are the people ignorant or have they forgotten? By the One Who sent Muhammad (ﷺ) with the truth, I went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he did not stop reciting the Talbiyah until he stoned Jamratal‘Aqabah, except that sometimes he mixed it with takbeer or tahleel.

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

I never saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pray against Quraish except on one day. He was praying and a group of Quraish were sitting (nearby), and there was the placenta of a she-camel near him. They said: Who will take this placenta and throw it onto his back? 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ait said: I will. He took it and threw it onto his back, and he remained prostrating until Fatimah came and took it from his back. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "O Allah, I urge You to deal with this group of Quraish. O Allah, I urge You to deal with ‘Utbah bin Rabee'ah. O Allah, I urge You to deal with Shaibah bin Rabee'ah, O Allah, I urge You to deal with Abu Jahl bin Hisham, O Allah, I urge You to deal with ‘Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ait, O Allah, I urge You to deal with Ubayy bin Khalaf, or Umayyah bin Khalaf." 'Abdullah said: I saw them all slain on the day of Badr, then they were dragged to the dry well, except Ubayy or Umayyah; he was a huge man and he began to disintegrate.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"The best of the people are my generation who are with me, then those who come after them, then those who come after them.” And I do not know whether he said after the third or fourth time: "There will come people after them one of whose testimony will come before his oath and his oath before his testimony.

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

The nations were shown to the Prophet (ﷺ) He said: His ummah was shown to him and he liked their large numbers. Then it was said: With these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being called to account.

It was narrated that ibn Mas'ood said:

On the day of Badr, they had one camel for three men, and the ones who rode with the Prophet (ﷺ) were ‘Ali and Abu Lubabah. When it was the Prophet’s turn to walk, they said to him: Ride, and we will walk instead of you. He said: "You are not stronger than me and I am not in less need of reward than you.”

Abdur-Rahman bin al-Aswad (narrated) from his father that he heard ‘Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) say:

The Prophet (ﷺ) went to relieve himself and he instructed me to bring him three stones. I found two stones and I did not find a third, so I picked up a piece of dung, and I brought them to the Prophet (ﷺ). He took the two stones and threw away the dung and said: "It is impure."

A similar report was narrated from ‘Abdullah from

The Prophet (ﷺ) and by Mansoor, al-Aʼmash and Hammad, from Abu Wa'il, from ‘Abdullah, from the Prophet (ﷺ).

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that

A man came to him and said: I recited al-Mufassal in one rak'ah. He said: Rather you recited it quickly like poetry or like dry dates falling from a branch when it is shaken. But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not do what you did. He used to recite pairs (of soorahs), ar-Rahman and an-Najm in one rak'ah And Abu Ishaq mentioned ten rak'ahs, with twenty soorahs, according to the order of 'Abdullah, the last (pair) of which was Idhash-shamsu kuwwirat and ad-Dukhan.

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazeed said:

I was with ‘Abdullah bin Mas'ood in Muzdalifah, and he offered the two prayers, each prayer on its own with an adhan and iqamah, and 'Isha' in between them, And he prayed Fajr when the first light of dawn showed, or when someone might say, dawn has broken, and someone else might say, dawn has not broken. Then he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “These two prayers are to be shifted from their regular time in this place, and people should not come to Muzdalifah until it is dark, and Fajr prayer should be offered at this time."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me (the verse), “Inni Anar-Razzaqu dhul-quwwali-mateen" (a variant reading of “innallaha huwarrazzaqu... (Verily, Allah is the All Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong” (adh-Dhariyat 51:58).

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah concerning the verse,

"The (Prophet's) heart lied not in what he (Muhammad (ﷺ)) saw” (an-Najm 53:17), that he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw Jibreel (as) in a suit of the finest brocade, filling the space between heaven and earth.

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

I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying takbeer with every bowing and prostration, every time he raised or lowered his head (in prayer), and I saw Abu Bakr and 'Umar (doing likewise), and they said the salam to their right and to their left, assalamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): Which deed is best? He said: "Prayer offered on time, honouring one's parents and jihad for the sake of Allah." And if I had asked for more, he would have given me more.

It was narrated that: ‘Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught us the prayer: he said takbeer and raised his hands, then he bowed and put his hands together and placed therm between his knees. News of that reached Sa’d and he said: My brother has spoken the truth; we used to that, then we were commanded to do this, and he took hold of his knees (with his hands).

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered a prayer, and I do not know whether he added something or omitted something, then he said the salam and prostrated twice.
