It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:
We said: O Messenger of Allah, will one of us be blamed for what he did during the jahiliyyah? He said: "Whoever does well in Islam will not be blamed for what he did during the Jahiliyyah, but whoever does badly in Islam will be blamed for his earlier and later actions."
It was narrated that Masrooq said:
Whilst a man was narrating hadeeth in the Great Mosque, he said: On the Day of Resurrection a smoke will come down from the sky and will take away the hearing and sight of the hypocrites and the believers will get something like a cold from it. Masrooq said: I entered upon ‘Abdullah and told him about that. He was reclining then he sat up straight and started speaking. He said: O people, whoever among you is asked about knowledge that he has, let him speak of it, and is he does not know, let him say: Allah knows best. It is a part of knowledge to say when one does not know, Allah knows best. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, said to His Prophet (ﷺ): "Say (O Muhammad (ﷺ)): “No wage do I ask of you for this (the Qur'an), nor am I one of the Mutakallifoon (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist)" (Sad 38.86). When Quraish rejected (the call of) the Prophet (ﷺ) and displayed a stubborn attitude towards him, he said: “O Allah, help me with seven (years of hardship) like the seven of Yoosuf." Then they were afflicted by a famine in which they even ate bones and dead meat because of hunger, until one of them would start to see something like smoke between him and the sky, because of hunger. Then they said: “Our Lord! Remove the torment from us, really we shall become believers!" (44:12). It was said to him: If We relieve them they will revert (to disbelief). So he called upon his Lord and He relieved them, and they reverted (to disbelief), but Allah wrought vengeance upon them on the day of Badr. Allah, may He be exalted, says: "Then wait you for the day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke - up to - On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest seizure (punishment). Verily, We will exact retribution" (ad-Dukhan 44:10-16). Ibn Numair said; ’Abdullah said: If this was referring to the Day of Resurrection. He would not have mentioned relief for them.
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
l recited to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): "And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember; then is there any one who will remember (or receive admonition) (hal min mudhdhakir)?" (al-Qamar 54:17). And the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "hal min muddakir" (i.e., he corrected his pronunciation).
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 one, because that makes him sad.”
Abdullah said:
It is as if I can see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) telling us about one of the Prophets whose people struck him, and he was wiping the blood of his forehead and saying: "Lord forgive my people for they do not know."
It was narrated that `Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Beware of lying, for lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to Hell. A man may tell lies (and endeavour to do so) until he is recorded with Allah as a liar,” And he said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I enjoin you to be truthful, for truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man may tell the truth and endeavour to tell the truth until he is recorded with Allah as a speaker of truth.” Abu Mu’awiyah said: "A man may continue to speak the truth and endeavour to speak the truth.
It was narrated that `Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
I heard The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: [t]"There is no cause for envy except in two cases; a man to whom Allah gives wealth and enables him to spend it appropriately, and a man to whom Allah gives wisdom and he rules in accordance with it and teaches it to the people.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “He is not one of us who rends his garment, slaps his cheeks and calls with the call of Jahiliyyah."
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: "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 that 'Abdullah said:
We were with The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we were young men. 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: "Make not unlawful the Tayyibat (all that is good as regards foods, things, deeds, beliefs, persons) which Allah has made lawful to you.” (al-Ma’idah 5:87).
It was narrated from Abu Moosa al-Hilali, from his father, that
A man was on a journey and his wife gave birth, but her milk would not come. So he started to suckle and spit out the milk, but some of it entered his stomach. He came to Abu Moosa, who said: She has become haram for you. He went to Ibn Mas’ood and asked him, and he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Breastfeeding does not make a person a mahram except that which causes the flesh and bones to grow.”
It was narrated from 'Abdullah that he said in khutbatalhajah
Verily, praise is due to Allah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our own souls. Whomsoever Allah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. Then he recited three verses from the Book of Allah: "O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam (as Muslims with complete submission to Allah)." (Al ‘Imran 3:102) "And fear Allah through whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.” (an-Nisa 4:1) "Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth."(al-Ahzab 33.70).
It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught us khutbatalhajah... And he narrated a similar hadeeth except that he did not say “verily”.
It was narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Yazeed said:
When 'Abdullah came to the Jamrah - Jamratal-'Aqabah - he went to the bottom of the valley, turned to face the Ka'bah and put the Jamrah on his right, then he stoned it with seven pebbles, saying takbeer with each throw. Then he said: From here, by the One besides Whom there is no other God, the one to whom Sooratal-Baqarah was revealed stoned (the Jamrah).
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me: “Recite Qurʼan to me." I said: O Messenger of Allah, how could I recite to you, when you are the one to whom it was revealed? He said: “I like to hear it from someone else." So I started reciting Soorat an-Nisa' and I recited to him, and when I reached the verse, “How (will it be) then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad (ﷺ)) as a witness against these people?" (an-Nisa' 4:41), I looked at him and his eyes flowing with tears.
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
Umm Habeebah said: O Allah, let me have the joy of the company of my husband the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and my father Abu Sufyan, and my brother Mu'awiyah (all my life). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You have asked Allah about lifespans that have already been determined, days that have already been counted and provisions that have already been allotted. Allah will never do anything before its due time or delay it beyond its due time. If you had asked Allah to grant you refuge from punishment in the Fire or punishment in the grave, that would have been better and preferable.” He said: And mention of monkeys was made in his presence. Mis’ar said: I think he said: And pigs - from what were they transformed? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah, may Hic be glorified and exalted, never gives those who have been transformed offspring. Monkeys - and I think he said: and pigs - existed before that."
A similar report was narrated from 'Alqamah bin Marthad with his isnad,
And there was no uncertainty about the word pigs.
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Indeed, I have nothing to do with the friendship of any close friend. If I were to take a close friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a close friend. But your companion is the close friend of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted.”
It was narrated from `Abdullah that
The Prophet (ﷺ) addressed us and said: "O women, give charity, for you will be most of the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection." A woman said: Why will we be most of the people of Hell? He said: “Because you curse a great deal and are ungrateful to your husbands.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “No soul is killed unlawfully, but there is a share of the sin on the first son of Adam, because he was the first one to set the precedent of killing.”
