Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) 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," until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen.

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

Umm Habeebah, the daughter of Abu Sufyan, 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 or preferable.” He said: And mention of monkeys was made in his presence. Mis’ar said: And pigs, which were transformed. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah never gives those who have been transformed offspring. Monkeys and pigs existed before that."

It was narrated from 'AbduIlah (رضي الله عنه) that

Some people came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: A friend of ours is sick; should we use cautery? And he kept quiet. Then they said: Should we use cautery? And he kept quiet. Then he said: "Cauterize him using hot stones.”

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

Some people asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about a companion of theirs who cauterized himself, and he remained silent Then the third time (they asked) he said: "Cauterize him with hot stones, burn him." And he disliked that.

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

I have not forgotten, among the things I forgot, that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say the salam to his right and to his left, "As-salamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullah, as-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah," until the whiteness of his cheeks could be seen - or until we could see the whiteness of his cheeks.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “No one should say: I am better than Yoonus bin Matta.”

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 I will grab hold of your waistbands lest you fall into the Fire like moths or flies.”

It was narrated from 'Abdah an-Nahdi. And he narrated it. And this was narrated by Yazeed and Abu Karnil from al-Hasan bin Sa'd Rawh said:

al-Mas'oodi told us, Abul-Mugheerah told us, from al-Hasan bin Sa'd, and he said: Moths or flies.

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The millstone of Islam will turn for 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 is they persist (in following the right path) then they will be in a good state for seventy years."

It was narrated that Abu Wa'il said: ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

When Ibn an-Nawwahah was killed: This man and Ibn Uthal came to the Prophet (ﷺ) as envoys of Musailimah the Liar. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to them. "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" They said: We bear witness that Musailimah is the messenger of Allah! He said: "If I were to kill any envoy, I would have struck your necks." And it became a precedent that envoys were not to be killed. As for Ibn Uthal. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, took care of him for us. And as for this one, he persisted in his misguidance until Allah enabled the Muslims to capture him now.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) lay down on a reed mat and it left marks on his side. When he woke up, I started wiping his side and I said: O Messenger of Allah, why don't you allow us to spread something on top of this rood mat for you? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “what do I have to do with this world? What do I have to do with this world? The likeness of me and this world is that of a traveller who seeks shade under a tree, then he moves on and leaves it.”

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

When we were on our way back after the campaign of al-Hudaibiyah, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "who will guard us tonight?” Abdullah said: I said: I will. He said: “You will fall asleep." Then he repeated it "who will guard us tonight?” I said: I will. That happened several times. I said: I will, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "So you will guard us then." I guarded them until, as morning approached, the words of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), "You will fall asleep,” caught up with me and I fell asleep. And we did not wake up until we felt the heat of the sun on our backs. Then The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got up and did what he used to do of wudoo’ and praying the two (Sunnah) rak'ahs of Fajr, then he led us in praying Fajr. When he had finished, he said: If Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, had willed that you should not sleep (and miss it), you would not have fallen asleep. But He willed that you should (set an example) for those who come after you. This is what one who falls asleep or forgets should do." Then the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the people's camels had scattered, so the people set out looking for them, and they brought their camels except the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: "Go and look in that direction." So I went where he told me and I sound that its reins had got caught on a tree and could only be undone by hand. So I brought it to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah, by the One Who sent you with the truth as a Prophet, I found its reins caught on a tree and they could only be undone by hand. Then Soorat al-Fath, “Verily, we have given you (O Muhammad (ﷺ)) a manifest victory.” (al-Fath 48:1), was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

It was narrated that Abu Majid said:

A man came to Ibn Masood with a nephew of his and said: This is the son of my brother; he drank alcohol. ‘Abdullah said: The first hadd punishment to be carried out in Islam was a woman who stole, and her hand was cut off. The face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) changed a great deal (i.e., in disapproval), then he said: “Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" (an-Noor 24:22).

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There is no-one who is afflicted by distress and gries, and says: ‘O Allah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your maidservant; my forelock is in Your hand, 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 have named Yourself with, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You revealed in Your Book 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 take away his distress and grief, and replace it with joy.” It was said:O Messenger of Allah, should we not learn it (by heart)? He said: “Of course. Everyone who hears it should learn it (by heart).”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “When the Children of Israel fell into sin, their scholars told them to give it up but they did not give it up, yet they (the scholars) joined them in their gatherings - Yazeed said: I think he said: and their marketplaces - and they ate with them and drank with them. So Allah harderical their hearts equally and cursed them on the lips of Dawood and Eesa bin Maryam, because they disobeyed (Allah and the Messengers) and were transgressors (cf. al-Ma'idah 5:38)." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was reclining and he sat up and said: "No, by the One in Whose hand is my soul, not until you put firm pressure on them to follow the truth."

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The last one to enter Paradise will be a man who will walk on the Sirat; he will stumble once and walk once and be touched by the Fire once. When he has crossed the Sirat, he will turn to it and say: ‘Blessed be the One Who has saved me from you. Allah has given me that which was not given to anyone of the first and the last.’ Then a tree will be raised for him and he will look at it and will say: 'O Lord, bring me close to this tree, so that I might seek its shade and drink from its water.’ He will say: 'O My slave, perhaps if I bring you close to it, you will ask Me for something else.' He will say: ‘No, O Lord,’ and he will promise Allah that he will not ask Him for anything else, although the Lord knows that he will ask Him, because he will see something that he cannot help wanting. So He will bring him close to it. Then he will raise up for him another tree that is even more beautiful than it, and he will say: ‘O Lord, bring me close to this tree, so that I might seek its shade and drink from its water.’ He will say: 'O My slave, did you not promise Me,’ i.e., that you would not ask Me for anything else? He will say: ‘O Lord, only this, and I will not ask You for anything else.' And he will make a promise to Him, although the Lord knows that he will ask Him for something else. So He will bring him close to it. Then he will raise up for him a tree at the gate of Paradise that is more beautiful than it, and he will say: ‘O Lord, bring me close to this tree, so that I might seek its shade and drink from its water.’ He will say: ‘O My slave, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else?’ He will say: 'O Lord, only this tree and I will not ask You for anything else.' And he will make a promise to Him, although the Lord knows that he will ask Him for something else, because he will see something that he cannot help wanting. So He will bring him close to it. Then he will hear the voices of the people of Paradise, and he will say: 'O Lord, Paradise, Paradise.’ He will say: 'O My slave, did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me for anything else?" He will say: 'O Lord, admit me to Paradise.’ Allah, may He be glorified and exalted will say: ‘What will make you stop asking, O My slave? Would it please you if I give you of Paradise the equivalent of the world and as much again?’ He will say: ‘Are you making fun of me, O my Lord, when You are the Lord of Glory?’” And ‘Abdullah smiled so much that his molars could be seen, then he said: Why don't you ask me why I am smiling? They said: Why are you smiling? He said: Because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiled, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to us: "Why don't you ask me why I am smiling?” They said: Why are you smiling, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "because the Lord smiled when he said, ‘Are you making fun of me, when You are the Lord of Glory?’”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade us to wear gold rings or iron rings.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: They kept us from offering the middle prayer until the sun set; may Allah fill their bellies and their graves with fire.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “None of you should let the adhan of Bilal keep him from his sahour, 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 may wake up. It is not when it is like this; rather it is until it is like this" - and Ibn Abi ‘Adiyy Abu ‘Amr put his fingers together and held them pointing down (to indicate vertical) -and he spread his forefingers apart (to indicate horizontal), i.e. the dawn.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) from

The Prophet (ﷺ) that he said: “a man will be with those whom he loves."

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

One of the things that the Prophet (ﷺ) often said was "Glory and praise be to You our Lord’ O Allah forgive me." When the soorah "When there comes the Help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad (ﷺ) against your enemies) and the Conquest (of Makkah)" (an-Nasr 110:1) was revealed, he said: “Glory and praise be to You, O Allah our Lord. O Allah, forgive me, for You are the Acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful."

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) taught us Khutbatal-Hajah: "All praise is 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: '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) 'O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created many men and women, 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) 'O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed achieved a great achievement (i.e. he will be saved from the Hell-fire and will be admitted to Paradise') (al-Ahzab. 33:70,71), then state your need.”

It was narrated from Abu ‘Ubaidah and Abul-Ahwas, who said: This is the hadeeth of Abu ‘Ubaidah from his father, who said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught us two khutbahs, khatbatal-hajah and khutbatas-salah (i.e., "at-tahiyyatu..."): "‘Praise be to Allah' or ‘Verily praise is to Allah we seek His help…’” And he mentioned a similar report.

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

Whilst the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was prostrating and some people of Quraish were around him, 'Uqbah bim Abi Mu'ait brought the placenta of a she-camel and threw it on the back of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he did not raise his head. Then Fatimah came and took it from his back, and she prayed against those who had done that. And he said: "O Allah, I urge You to deal with this group of Quraish: Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utbah bin Rabee'ah, Shaibah bin Rabee'ah, 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ait and Umayyah bin Khalaf" or “Ubayy bin Khalaf" - Shu'bah (one of the narrators) was not sure. He said: and I saw them slain on the day of Badr. They were thrown into a dry well, except for Umayyah or Ubayy, because his body started disintegrating, so he was not thrown into the well.

Isra'eel narrated... And he mentioned the hadeeth, except that he said:

‘Amr bin Hisham and Umayyah bin Khalaf, and he added: and 'Umarah bin al-Waleed.
