It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Allah did not forbid anything but He knew beforehand that He would see some of you (committing it), but verily I am holding on to your waistbands lest you fall into the Fire like moths or flies."
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood... And
He narrated the hadeeth, and he said “moths or flies.”
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood that
The ones who rode with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the day of Badr were ‘Ali and Abu Lubabah. When it was the Prophet’s turn to walk, they said to him: Ride, O Messenger of Allah, 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."
It was narrated that Abdur-Rahman bin al-Aswad said:
‘Alqamah and al-Aswad asked permission to enter upon ‘Abdullah. He said: There will come to you rulers who will be distracted from the time of prayer, so offer the prayer at the proper time. Then he got up and prayed (standing) between me and him (leading us in prayer), then he said: This is what I saw The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) do.
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), they said: O Messenger of Allah, who among us does not wrong himself? He said: "It is not that; it is shirk. Have you not heard what Luqman said to his son: "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)?"
It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in prayer, and he either added or omitted something. Ibraheem said: I am the one who forgot that. We said: O Messenger of Allah, has something been introduced into the prayer? He said: “Why is that?" We said: You just prayed such and such (number of rak'ahs). He said: l am only human and I forget as you forget. If one of you forgets something, let him prostrate twice.” Then he turned around and prostrated twice.
it was narrated that 'Alqamah said:
'Abdullah came to Syria and some of the people of Homs said to him: Recite to us. So he recited Sooorat Yoosuf to them. A man who was present stood up and said: By Allah, this is not how it was revealed! 'Abdullah said: Woe to you! By Allah, I recited it to The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) like this, and he said: "You have done well.” Whilst he was talking to him, he noticed the smell of alcohol on him and he said: Do you drink impurity and disbelieve in the Qur'an? By Allah, you will not leave me until I have you flogged. And he had flogged as the hadd punishment.
It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazeed said: 'Abdullah said -
When he saw 'Uthman pray four rak’ahs in Mina -: I prayed two rak'ahs behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and two rak'ahs behind Abu Bakr, and two rak'ahs behind ‘Umar. I hope that out of four, two rak'ahs will be accepted from me.
It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazeed said:
We entered upon ‘Abdullah, and ‘Alqamah and al-Aswad were with him. He narrated a hadeeth and I think he only narrated it for my sake; I was the youngest of the people. He said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), young men who had nothing. And he said: “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 from al-Aizar from Tin'ah, that Ibn Mas’ood said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “If a curse is directed at someone, it goes in his direction, then if it finds a way to reach him it befalls him, otherwise it will turn to its Lord and say: "O Lord, So and so directed me at So and so, but I could not find any way to reach him, What do You instruct me to do?" And He will say: 'Go back from whence you came."
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “O women, give charity, even if it is from your jewellery, for you will be most of the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection." A woman who was not one of the prominent women stood up and said: Why will we be most of the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection? He said: "Because you curse a great deal and are ungrateful to your husbands."
It was narrated that 'Abdullah said.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.” And I say: Whoever dies associating something with Allah will enter Hell.
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “If you are three, two should not converse (privately) to the exclusion of their companion, because that makes him sad.”
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “If you are three, two should not converse (privately) to the exclusion of their companion, because that makes him sad.”
It was narrated that Shaqeeq said:
We were sitting at the door of ‘Abdullah, waiting for him to give permission for us to enter. Then Yazeed bin Mu’awiyah an-Nakha’i came and entered upon him and we said to him: Tell him that we are here. He went in and told him, and soon he came out to us and said: I know you are here, but I left you deliberately for fear of boring you. The messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to choose the right time to exhort us for fear of boring us.
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 pead concerning some people then I will have to give them up. I will say: ‘O Lord, my companions!’ It will be said:[g] ‘You do not know what they did after you were gone.’”
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said one thing and I say another. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Whoever dies associating anything with Allah will enter Hell.” And I say: Whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.
It was narrated that Shaqeeq said: ‘Abdullah said:
”No one has more protective jealousy (gheerah) than Allah, May He be glorified and exalted. Hence He forbade immoral actions. And none loves to be praised more than Allah, may He be glorified and exalted,”
It was narrated that al-Aswas said:
‘Alqamah and I entered upon ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ood and he said: When one of you bows, let him put his forearms on his thighs. It is as if I can see the interlaced fingers of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in prayer.
It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:
I never saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offer any prayer but it was on time, except two prayers; Maghrib and 'Isha' in Muzdalifah, and he prayed Fajr on that day before the time when he usually prayed it (but after ascertaining that dawn had broken). And Ibn Numair said: (Maghrib and 'Isha'), and he prayed them together in Muzdalifah.
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
I was hiding behind the curtain of the Ka'bah, and three people came who were very fat but not very smart, a Qurashi and his two Thaqafi in-laws or a Thaqafi and his two Qurashi in-laws. They said something I did not understand, then one of them said: Do you think Allah hears what we say? The other said: I think if we raise our voices, He will hear us but if we do not raise our voices He will not hear us. The other one said: If He hears some of it He will hear all of it. I mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: “And you have not been hiding yourselves (in the world), lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you; but you thought that Allah knew not much of what you were doing. And that thought of yours which you thought about your Lord, has brought you to destruction; and you have become (this Day) of those utterly lost!” (Fussilat 40:22-23).
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Do not acquire farmland, lest you become too interested in worldly matters...”
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever swears a (false) oath in order to usurp the property of a Muslim will meet Allah when He is angry with him.” Al-Ash'ath 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 'Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The most severely punished of the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection will be the image makers."
It was narrated from 'Abdullah that
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to sleep on his back until he breathed deeply, then he would get up and pray and would not do wudoo’.
