Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

It was narrated that Ibn Mas’ood (رضي الله عنه) 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.

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

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "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.”

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) drew a square, and a line in the middle of the square, and lines beside the line in the middle of the square, and a line outside the square, and he said: “Do you know what this is?" They said. Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: "This is man, the line in the middle, and these lines beside him are the sicknesses and problems that assail him from all places. If one misses him. another will befall him. The square is his death that is surrounding him and the line outside it is his hope.”

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

A man kissed a woman once, then he came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him about expiation. Then the words “And perform As-Salas (Iqamatas-Salat), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night (i.e. the five compulsory Salat (prayers)). Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds (i.e. small sins).” (Hood 11:114) were revealed. The man said: O Messenger of Allah, is that only for me? He said: "It is for anyone who does that among my ummah."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "None of you should let the adhan of Bilal keep him from his sahoor, because he gives the adhan so that those of you who are praying qiyam may go back (to rest), and those of you who are asleep should wake up It is not when it is like this"- and he put his fingers together and raised (his hand - to indicate vertical) - “rather it is until it is like this"- and Yahya spread his forefingers apart (to indicate horizontal).

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Indeed, those who go to extremes are doomed,” three times.

It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidah, from his father, that

The Prophet (ﷺ) would, after the two rak'ahs (i.e., in the first tashahhud), be as if he were (sitting on) baked stones. I (the narrator) said: Until he got up? He said: Until he got up.

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi ‘Alqamah said: I heard Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) say:

The Prophet (ﷺ) came from al-Hudaibiyah at night, and we halted at some sandy ground. He said: “Who will keep watch?" Bilal said: I will. He said: “But you might fall asleep.” He said: No (I will not). But he slept until the sun rose, then some people woke up, including ‘Umar, who said: Speak. The Prophet (ﷺ) woke up and said: "Do what you usually do." When they had done that, he said: “This is what you should do, if anyone among you falls asleep or forgets.”

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

Your Prophet (ﷺ) was given the keys of everything except five things: “Verily, Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things)” [Luqman 31:34]

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

I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying takbeer every time he lowered or raised his head (in prayer), and every time he moved to stand or sit, and he said the salam to his right and to his left, until the whiteness of his cheeks - or check - became visible, and I saw Abu Bakr and 'Umar doing likewise.

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

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ), nearly forty people in a tent, and he said: "Would it please you to be one quarter of the people of Paradise?" We said: Yes. He said: “Would it please you to be one third of the people of Paradise?" We said: Yes. He said: “By the one in whose hand is my soul, I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise, and that is because no one will enter Paradise except a Muslim soul, and you, compared to the mushrikeen, are like a white hair on the hide of a black bull, or a black hair on the hide of a red bull."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by me when was praying and said: “Ask, you will be given, O son of Umm Abd." Abu Bakr andʻUmar (رضي الله عنهما) raced (to ask him about his supplication). ‘Umar said: I never competed with Abu Bakr in anything but he beat me to it. They asked him about what he had said, and he said: Part of my supplication that I almost never omit to say is: O Allah, I ask You for blessing that never ends and joy that never ceases and to accompany the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in the highest part of Paradise, the Paradise of eternity.

Zaid bin Wahb said: I heard 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) say:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: “After l am gone, you will see selfishness (on the part of others) and things that you disapprove of.” We said: What do you instruct us to do? He said: "Give them their dues, and ask Allah for what is due to you."

It was narrated that al-Aswad bin Yazeed said:

The iqamah for prayer was given in the mosque and we came walking with ‘Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه). When the people bowed, 'Abdullah bowed and we bowed with him whilst we were still walking. A man passed in front of him and said: Assalamu 'alaika ya Aba 'Abdur-Rahman. ‘Abdullah said whilst he was bowing. Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. When he had finished, some of the people asked him. Why did you say, when the man greeted you, Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “One of the portents of the Hour will be when greetings are restricted to people whom one knows."

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

When The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey, he was taken as far as Sidratal-Muntaha, which is in the sixth heaven; anything that ascends from earth stops there and is taken from there, anything that comes down from above stops there and is taken from there. He said: "When that covered the lote tree which did cover it!” (an-Najin 53:16). He said. Butterflies of gold. He said: And The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was given three things: he was given the five daily prayers, he was given the final verses of Soorat al-Baqarah, and those of his ummah who do not associate anything with Allah were forgiven major sins that may cause one to end up in Hellfire.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ”Allah has angels who travel about the earth and convey to me the salams of my ummah."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Follow one Hajj and ‘Umrah with another, it will erase poverty and sin as the bellows eliminates the dross of iron and gold and silver. And an accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, then the colour of his face changed, then he said something like that or something similar to that.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said one day: “Feel shy before Allah in the true sense of the word.” We said: O Messenger of Allah, we do feel shy before Him, praise be to Allah. He said: "That is not what I meant. Rather the one who feels shy before Allah in the true sense of the word, let him guard his head and whatever is in it, guard his stomach and whatever it contains, and let him remember death and decay. Whoever seeks the Hereafter would give up the adornment of this world, and whoever does that has felt shy before Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, in the true sense of the word.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Allah shared out different natures and attitudes among you as He shared out your provision among you. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, grants worldly gain to those He loves and those He does not love, but He only gives religious commitment to those He loves. Whoever Allah gives religious commitment to, He loves him. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, no person becomes Muslim until his heart and tongue are sound, and no one believes until his neighbour is safe from his annoyance.” They said: What is his annoyance, O Prophet of Allah? He said: “His being unfair to him and wronging him. And no person who acquires wealth from haram sources and spends from it will be blessed in it, and if he gives it in charity it will not be accepted from him, and if he leaves it behind, it will be his provision on his journey to Hell. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, does not erase a bad deed by means of another bad deed, rather He erases bad deeds by means of good deeds. Evil does not erase evil.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When the last third of the night comes, Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, descends to the lowest heaven, then He opens the gate of heaven, then He stretches forth His Hand and says: ‘Is there anyone who is asking, so that he may be given what he asked for?' And He remains like that until dawn breaks."
