Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No woman should look at or touch another woman so she can describe her to her husband so that it is as if he is looking at her."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

May Allah curse the women who do tattoos and the women who have tattoos done, the women who pluck facial hair, the women who file teeth for the purpose of beautification. News of that reached a woman of Banu Asad who was called Umm Yaʼqoob. She came to him and said: I have read what is between the covers (of the Mushaf) and I did not find what you said. He said: Have you not read (the words) "And whatsoever the (Muhammad (ﷺ)) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)?” (al-Hashr 59:7)? She said: I think your family do that. He said: Go and look. So she went and looked, then she came and said: I did not see anything. He said: If that were the case, she would not stay with us.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said one thing and I say another. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever dies associating something with Allah will enter Hell.” And I say whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.

It was narrated that `Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said… And he mentioned something similar except that he said: ascribing a rival to Allah.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) that

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

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 from Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) that

The Prophet (ﷺ) recited (Soorat) an-Najm and prostrated in it, and those who were with him prostrated, except an old man who took a handful of pebbles or dust and did like this - and he put it on his forehead. 'Abdullah said: And I saw him slain as a kafir.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has not sent down any disease, but He has also sent down a remedy for it. Those who know it know it, and those who do not know it do not know it."

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed five rak'ahs in Zuhr, and it was said to him: O Messenger of Allah, has something been added to the prayer? He said: “Why is that?” They said: You prayed five. And he turned around and prostrated twice after he had said the salam.

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

I was hiding behind the curtain of the Ka'bah, and three people, a Thaqafi and his two Qurashi in-laws came. They were very fat but not very smart. They said something amongst themselves, then one of them said: Do you think Allah hears what we say? The other said. He hears if we raise our voices, 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), should testify against you, - till- yet they are not of those who will ever be allowed to please Allah!" (Fussilat 41:22-24).

It was narrated from Abu Ma'mar from ‘Abdullah. He (the narrator) said:

I heard him attribute it to the Prophet (ﷺ) on one occasion, then he did not do that. He saw a governor or a man say two tasleems and he said: Where did he learn that?

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)" (al-An'am 6:82), it was very hard on the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and they said: Who among us does not does wrong? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "It is not as you think; rather it is as 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' (Luqmaan 31:13)?"

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say the salam to his right and to his left, as-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah, as-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah, (turning his face so far that) the whiteness of his cheek could be seen. ‘Abdur-Rahman said: (turning his face so far that) we could see the whiteness of his cheek from here and we could see the whiteness of his cheek from here.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

Walk to the mosque because it is part of the guidance and Sunnah of Muhammad (ﷺ).

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

I said: O Messenger of Allah, which deed is best? He said: Prayer offered on time. I said: Then what? He said: Honouring one's parents. I said Then what? He said: Jihad for the sake of Allah. And if I had asked for more he would have given me more.

It was narrated from Khaithamah from someone who heard 'Abdullah say:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There should be no staying up at night for one who is praying and one who is travelling.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The blood of a Muslim man who bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah is not permissible (to be shed) except in one of three cases: a soul for a soul, a married adulterer, and one who leaves his religion and separates from the jama'ah (the main body of Muslims)."

It was narrated from Abu ‘Ubaidah that `Abdullah said:

I came to Abu Jahl on the day of Badr when his leg had been struck and he was lying on the ground, fending people off with a sword that he had. I said: Praise be to Allah Who has humiliated you, O enemy of Allah. He said: ls it anything other than a man who was killed by his own people? I started striking at him with my sword but I was not able to hit him. Then I struck his hand and his sword fell; I picked it up and struck him with it until I killed Him. Then I left him and went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and it was as if I could not wait to reach him, and I told him (the news). He said: "Do you swear by Allah, besides Whom there is no other god?" And he repeated it three times. I said: By Allah, besides Whom there is no other god. Then he set out walking with me until he stood over him and said: “Praise be to Allah who has humiliated you, O enemy of Allah. By Allah, this was the pharaoh of this nation." And my father added from Abu Ishaq that Abu Ubaidah said: And ‘Abdullah said: And he granted me his sword as booty.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of Badr and said: I have killed Abu Jahl. He said: By Allah besides Whom there is no other god? I said: By Allah besides Whom there is no other god. And he repeated it three times. He said: Allahu Akbar, praise be to Allah Who fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His slave and defeated the Confederates alone. Let us go, and you can show him to me." So we set out and came to him and he said: "This was the pharaoh of this nation.”

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

I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) in some farmland in Madinah and he passed by some of the Jews, who said to one another: Ask him about the spirit (ar-rooh). And some of them said: Do not ask him. They said: O Muhammad, what is the spirit? He stood up and leaned on the palm tree branch, and I was behind him and I thought that he was receiving revelation. Then he said: “And they ask you (O Muhammad (ﷺ)) concerning the Rooh (the spirit). Say: "The Rooh (the spirit) is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little” (al-Isra' 17:85). And some of them said: we told you not to ask him.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Ibn Sumayyah never has the choice of two options but he chooses the more guided of them.

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said.

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah, I met a woman in a garden and I embraced her, touched her, kissed her and did everything with her except that I did not have intercourse with her. The Prophet (ﷺ) did not answer, then this verse was revealed: “Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins). That is a reminder (an advice) for the mindful (those who accept advice)" (Hood 11:114). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) called him and recited it to him. ‘Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, is that only for him or for all the people? He said: “Rather it is for all the people.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told us in Mina, when he was leaning back on a red tent, he said: “Would it not please you to be one quarter of the people of Paradise?" We said: Yes. He said: "Would it not please you to be one third of the people of Paradise?” We said: Yes. He said: “By Allah, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise, and I shall tell you about that, about the small numbers of the Muslims among the people on that Day. On that Day, among the people they will be like a white hair on the hide of a black bull, or a black hair on the hide of a white bull, and no one will enter Paradise except a Muslim soul.”

It was narrated that Fulfulah al-Ju’fi said:

I was among those who panicked and rushed to ‘Abdullah concerning the Mushafs. We entered upon him and a man among the people said. We have not come to visit you; rather we came when we got alarmed about this news. He said: The Qur'an was revealed to your Prophet (ﷺ) from seven gates with seven modes of recitation, and the Book before him was revealed from one gate and with one mode of recitation.

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

Your Prophet (ﷺ) was given everything except the five keys of the unseen: “Verily, Allah! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour...” (Luqman 31:34).
