Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

Al-Qasim bin Mukhaimirah said: 'Alqamah took hold of my hand and said: 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood took hold of my hand and said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took hold of my hand and taught me the tashahhud in prayer: "All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah, Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah, I bear witness that there is no god except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.”

It was narrated that Shaqeeq said: I was with ‘Abdullah and Abu Moosa, and they were narrating hadeeth. They narrated that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Ahead of the Hour there will be days in which knowledge will be taken away and ignorance will prevail, and there will be a lot of harj.“ They said: Harj means killing.

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

We travelled by night with the Prophet (ﷺ) and we said: O Messenger of Allah, how about if we halt here and sleep, and our mounts can graze. He agreed and said: Let some of you guard us. 'Abdullah said: I will guard you. But then sleep overtook me; I fell asleep and did not wake up until the sun had risen, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not wake up until (he heard) us talking. He instructed Bilal to give the adhan, then the iqamah for prayer, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in prayer.

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Allah has cursed the muhill and the muhallal lahu.”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

They used to recite behind the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: "You made me confused in reciting the Qur'an."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: No one will enter Paradise in whose heart is pride the size of a mustard seed.

It was narrated from "Abdur-Rahman bin al-Aswad that his father said:

My paternal uncle and I entered upon Ibn Masood at midday when it was very hot. He gave the iqamah for prayer and we stood behind him. He took hold of my hand and my uncle's hand and brought us forward until he made each of us stand on either side of him, then he said: This is what The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do if they were three.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Abdullah that his father Ibn Mas’ood said:

There was a man among those who came before you who had a kingdom; one day he thought and realised that it would come to an end and that what he had was distracting him from worshipping his lord. So he slipped out one night from his palace and went to the kingdom of someone else. He came to the shore and stayed there, making bricks for payment, and he ate and gave the surplus in charity. He continued like that until news of him and his worship and virtue reached their king. The king sent for him but he refused to go to him. He sent for him again and he refused to go to him, saying. What have I to do with him? So the king rode (to where he was), and when the man saw him he turned and fled. When the king saw that he pursued him but could not catch up with him. He cried out: O slave of Allah, you have nothing to fear from me. So he stopped and the king caught up with him and said: Who are you, may Allah have mercy on you? He said: I am So and so, the son of So and so, the ruler of such and such. I thought about my situation and I realised that what I had would come to an end and that it was preoccupying me and distracting me from worshipping my Lord. So I left it and came here to worship my Lord, may He be glorified and exalted. He said: You are not in greater need of what you did than me. Then he dismounted and let his mount go, and he followed him, and they stayed together, worshipping Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. They prayed to Allah and asked! Him to cause them to die together, and they died (together). He said: If I was in Rumailah in Egypt I would show you their graves as described to us by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

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

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

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Any two Muslims for whom three of their children die before reaching puberty, they will be a strong protection for them against the Fire.” Abu Dharr said: Two of my children died, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "And two.” Ubayy Abul-Mundhir, the leader of the prominent Qur'an reciters, said: One of my children died, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "And one, but that (i.e., the reward) is only (for showing patience) when calamity first strikes."

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The millstone of Islam will stop at the beginning of thirty-five (years) or thirty-six or thirty-seven, then if they perish (after deviating) they will meet the same fate as those who perished (before them), but if they persist (in following the right path) then they will be in a good state for seventy years.”

It was narrated from 'Abdullah -

Shu'bah said: and he attributed it to the Prophet (ﷺ) but I do not attribute it to him for you - concerning the verse “And whoever inclines to evil actions therein (in al-Masjidul-Haram) or to do wrong, him We shall cause to taste from a painful torment.” (al-Hajj 22:25). If a man were to think of doing evil actions therein when he is in ’Adan Abyan, Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, will cause him to taste a painful torment.

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

It was said: O Messenger of Allah, on the Day of Resurrection, how will you recognize those of your ummah whom you have not seen? He said: “They will have shining faces and limbs because of the traces of wudoo’.”

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There is no slave who, when he is stricken by anxiety and sorrow, says 'O Allah, I am Your slave and the son of Your male slave and the son of Your female slave. My forelock is in Your hand (i.e., You have complete mastery over me), Your command over me is forever executed, and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety' - but Allah will remove his anxiety and replace his sorrow with joy.” The people said: O Messenger of Allah, we should learn these words. He said: “The one hears them should learn them.”

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah from the Prophet (ﷺ) that

He said: I used to forbid you to visit the graves, but now you may visit them. And I used to forbid you to keep the sacrificial meat for more than three days, but now you may keep it. And I used to forbid you (to use vessels) to soak dates in, but now you may use them, but avoid everything that intoxicates.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Allah has angels on earth who travel around conveying to me salam from my ummah."

It was narrated that 'Amr bin Maimoon said:

There was hardly any Thursday - Ibn Abi ‘Adiyy said: Thursday afternoon - when I failed to visit Ibn Mas'ood, and I never heard him say concerning anything. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said. One afternoon he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said - Ibn Abi ‘Adiyy said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say - then he tilted his head. I looked at him and he was standing with his chemise unbuttoned and his eyes were filled with tears and the veins on his neck were swollen, and he said: Or more or less than that, or something like that, or something similar.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me Sooratal-Ahqaf and he taught it to someone else, who differed with me in (the recitation of) one verse of it. I said: Who taught you it? He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me. I said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me such and such. I went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and there was a man with him. I said: O Messenger of Allah, did you not teach me such and such?' He said: “Yes." The other man said: Did you not teach me such and such? He said: "Yes." And the face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) showed anger. The man who was with him said: Let each of you recite it as he heard it, for those who came before you were doomed because of differences. I do not know whether he told him to say that or if it was something that he said of his own accord.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Prayer in congregation is twenty-five times better than a man's prayer offered on his own."

A similar report was narrated from Ibn Mas"ood from the Prophet (ﷺ)

A similar report.

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

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: When is Lailatal-Qadr? He said: "Who among you remembers the night when there was some brightness in the sky?” ‘Abdullah said: I do, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you. I had some dates in my hand that I was eating for sahoor, and I was concealing myself behind the back of my saddle to eat them before dawn came. And that was when the moon rose.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed the one who consumes riba, the one who pays it, the two who witness it and the one who writes it down.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas’ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: "What do you think if you are one quarter of the people of Paradise, with one quarter of it being for you and three quarters being for the rest of the people?” They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: “What do you think if you are one third (of the people of Paradise)?" They said: That is more. He said: “What to you think if you are half (of the people of Paradise)?” They said: That is more. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The people of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection will be one hundred and twenty rows, of which you will be eighty.”

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood that they said:

O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognize those of your ummah whom you have not seen? He said: "They will have shining faces and limbs because of the traces of wudoo'.

It was narrated that Ibn Masood said:

I learned seventy soorahs from the lips of the Messenger of Allah and no one else was with me when I learned them.
