Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that

He recited the Talbiyah on the night of Muzdalifah, then he said: Here I saw the one to whom Sooratal-Baqarah was revealed recite the Talbiyah.

It was narrated that ‘Abul-Majid said:

A man came to 'Abdullah and he mentioned this story and started narrating from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: The first man whose hand was cut off in Islam - or among the Muslims - was a man who was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and it was said: O Messenger of Allah, this man has stolen. And it was as if the face of the Messenger of Allah was covered with dust (i.e., his face changed colour). Some of them said: O Messenger of Allah, what's wrong? He said: "How can I not be upset when you are the Shaitan's helpers against your companion? Allah is forgiving and loves forgiveness; no case should be brought to the ruler but he should carry out the hadd punishment." Then he recited: "Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful” (an-Noor 24:22).

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 us who walks ahead of it."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

I remember, as soon as the iqamah (call immediately preceding the prayer) was given, the rows would be complete. 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 they (the prayers) are among the ways of guidance and Allah has prescribed the ways of guidance to your Prophet (ﷺ).

It was narrated that Ma‘dikarib said:

We came to 'Abdullah and asked him to recite to us, Ta-Seen-Meem al-Mi’atain (i.e., ash-Shu'ara') He said: I do not know it, you should go to one who learned it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): Khabbab bin al-Aratt. So we went to Khabbab bin al-Aratt and he recited it to us.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me a soorah of ath-thalatheen, one of the family of Ha-Meem, i.e., al-Ahqaf. If a soorah contained more than thirty verses, it was called ath-thalatheen (thirty). So I went to the mosque in the morning and I saw a man reciting it in a way different from the way he had taught me. I said: Who taught you it? He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I said to another man: Recite it. And he recited it in a way that was different from my recitation and that of my companion. I took them to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah, these two recite differently from me. He got angry and it could be seen from his face that he was upset, and he said: "Those who came before you were destroyed because of differences." Zirr said: There was a man with him and the man said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is instructing you each to recite as he was taught; those who came before you were only destroyed because of differences. 'Abdullah said: I do not know whether it was something that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had told him privately or if he sensed what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wanted to tell people. And that man was 'Ali bin Abi Talib.

It was narrated from Tariq that ‘Abdullah said to him:

O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman, the man said salam to you. I said: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. And he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “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; and ties of kinship will be severed."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed five rak'ahs, in Zuhr or ‘Asr, and when he finished, it was said to him: O Messenger of Allah, has something been added to the prayer? He said: “No." They said: But you prayed five. So he did the two prostrations of forgetfulness, then he said: “I am only human, I remember as you remember and I forget as you forget."

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever kills a snake will have seven hasanat; whoever kills a gecko will have one hasanah, whoever leaves a snake alone for fear of its harm is not one of us.”

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

A group of Quraish passed by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when Khabbab, Suhaib, Bilal and ‘Ammar were with him, and they said: O Muhammad, are you content with these? Then Qur'an was revealed concerning them: "And warn therewith (the Qur’ān) those who fear that they will be gathered before their Lord, -up to - but Allah knows best the Zalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers.).” [al-An’am 6:51-58]

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

We used to go on campaigns with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we had no wives with us. We said: O Messenger of Allah, can we not castrate ourselves? But he forbade us to do that. Then after that we were granted a concession allowing us to marry a woman in return for a garment for a limited time. Then `Abdullah recited: “O you who believe! Make not unlawful the Tayyihut (all that is good as regards foods, things, deeds, beliefs, persons) which Allah has made lawful to you, and transgress not. Verily, Allah does not like the transgressors" (al-Ma'idah 5:87].

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

We talked a great deal in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one night, then we came to him the following morning and he said: “The Prophets were shown to me last night with their nations and their followers from among their nations. A Prophet came past with three people of his nation, and another with a small group of his nation, and another with a few follower of his nation, and another with one man of his nation, and another with no one with him from his nation, until Moosa bin ‘Imran passed by me with a company of the Children of Israel, and when I saw them they impressed me. I said: O Lord, who are these? He said: This is your brother Moosa bin ‘Imran, and those with him are the Children of Israel. I said: O Lord, where is my ummah? He said: Look to your right. I looked and I saw the hills, the hills of Makkah, covered with the faces of men. I said: Who are these, O Lord? He said: Your ummah. I said: I am pleased, my Lord. He said: Are you pleased? I said: Yes. He said: Look to your left. So I looked, and I saw the horizon covered with the faces of men. He said: Are you pleased? I said: l am pleased. It was said: And verily with these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without being brought to account.” Then ‘Ukkashah Bin Mihsan stood up and said: O Prophet of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them. He said: “O Allah, make him one of them." Then another man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to make me one of them. He said " "Ukkashah beat you to it."

It was narrated from 'Imran bin Husain that Ibn Mas'ood said:

We talked a great deal in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) one night... And he mentioned the hadeeth.

It was narrated from Zirr bin Hubaish from Ibn Mas'ood that

He was cutting siwak from an arak tree; he had skinny legs and the wind was pushing him. The people laughed at him and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “What are you laughing at?” They said: O Prophet of Allah, at the thinness of his legs. He said. "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, they weigh more heavily in the Balance than Uhud."

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me Soorat al-Ahqaf, and he taught it to another man, and he differed from me in his recitation of one verse. I said to him: Who taught it to you? He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). So he and I went, with a group of people, and I said: O Messenger of Allah, did you not teach me such and such a verse? He said: "Yes indeęd.” I said: This man claims that you taught it to him in such and such a way. The face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) changed, and the man who was with him said: Let each man among you recite it as he heard it, for those who came before you were only destroyed because of differences. By Allah I do not know whether the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told him to say that or he said it by himself.

A similar report was narrated from ‘Abdullah from, the Prophet (ﷺ). He said:

He got angry and looked upset, and he said: "Those who came before you were only destroyed because of differences.”

He said: “The one for whom two of her children die will enter Paradise too."

Whilst Ibn Mas'ood was delivering a khutbah one day, a snake appeared on the wall. He interrupted his speech, then he struck it with his stick until he killed it.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

We asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about monkeys and pigs: were they offspring of the Jews? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, never cursed a people - Rawh said: and transformed them - then they had offspring until He destroyed them. Rather these (i.e., monkeys and pigs) are a creation that existed before. When Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, got angry with the Jews, He transformed them and made them like them.”

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

I said: O Messenger of Allah, which deed is most beloved to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted? He said: “Offering prayer on time.” I said: Then what? He said: “Honouring one's parents." I said: Then what? He said: “Then jihad for the sake of Allah.” And if I had asked for more. he would have given me more.
