Chapter: On what to say when
going to sleep

 

Allah Almighty says, "In the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and the alternation of night and day, there are signs for people of
intelligence: those who remember Allah, standing, sitting, and lying on their
sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth."
(3:190-191)

 

1458. Hudhayfa and Abu Dharr reported that when the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to bed, he said, "In Your name, O
Allah, I live and die." [al-Bukhari]

1459. 'Ali stated that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said to him and Fatima, "When you retire to your bed, - or when you
take yourselves to bed - say 'Allah is greater' thirty-three times, glorify
Allah thirty-three times, praise Him thirty-three times." One variant has,
"Glorify Allah thirty-four times," and one variant, "Say 'Allah is greater'
thirty-four times." [Agreed upon]

1460. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "When one of you retires to bed, he should wipe over
his bed with the inside of his wrapper. He does not know what might have been on
it after him. Then he should say, 'By Your name, my Lord, I have lain on my side
and I have raised it up by You. If You keep my soul, show mercy to it. If You
release it, then protect it in the way You protect Your virtuous slaves.'"
[Agreed upon]

1461. 'A'isha reported that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, went to bed, he would spit into his hands and recite the
two suras of refuge and wipe his body with them." [Agreed upon]

In one of their variants, "When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, retired to bed every night he would put his palms together and then
spit into them and recite into them, 'Say: He is Allah, One,' 'Say: I seek
refuge with the Lord of daybreak,' and 'Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of
people,' and then wipe as much of his body as he could with them. He would begin
with his head and face and then the rest of his body. He would do that three
times." [Agreed upon]

1462. Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said to me, 'When you go to your bed, do wudu' as you do
for the prayer and then lie down on your right side and said, 'O Allah, I have
surrendered my soul to You and I have entrusted my affair to You and I have
sought refuge in You out of desire for You and fear of You. There is no shelter
nor place of safety from You except with You. I have believed in Your Book which
You sent down and Your Prophet whom You sent.' Then if you die, you will die in
the natural harmonious form of man. Make them the last thing that you say."
[Agreed upon]

1463. Anas reported that when the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, retired to his bed, he said, "Praise be to Allah who has fed us and given
us to drink and given us enough and given us a refuge. How many people there are
who have no one to give them enough nor any refuge!" [Muslim]

1464. Hudhayfa reported that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, wanted to lie down, he would place his right hand under his
cheek and then say, 'O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day when
You raise up Your slaves.'" [at-Tirmidhi]

Riyad as-Salihin - On dhikr morning and evening Hadith

Chapter: On dhikr morning and
evening

 

Allah says, "Remember your Lord in yourself humbly and
fearfully, without loudness of voice, morning and evening (âsâl). Do not be
among the heedless," (7:205) and linguists say that âsâl is the
plural of asîl and is the time between 'Asr and Maghrib.

Allah says, "Glorify your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its
setting," (W20:128; H20:130)

and He says, "Glorify your Lord with
praise in the evening ('ashi) and the early morning." (40:55)

and
linguists says that 'ashi is between the decline of the sun and its
setting. The Almighty says, "In houses which Allah has permitted to be
built and in which His name is remembered, there are men who proclaim His
glory morning," (W24:26; H24:36-37)

and the Almighty says, "We
subjected the mountains to glorify with him in the evening and at sunrise."
(W38:17; H38:18)

 

1451. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "On the Day of Rising no one will bring anything
better than someone who says in the morning and evening, 'Glory be to Allah and
by His praise' a hundred times except someone who says the same as he says or
more." [Muslim]

1452. Abu Hurayra said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, what agony I
suffered last night from a scorpion which stung me yesterday!' He said, 'If you
had said in the evening, "I seek refuge with the perfect words of Allah from the
evil of what He has created," it would not have harmed you." [Muslim]

1453. Abu Hurayra stated that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to say in the morning, "O Allah, by You we start the day and by You
we end it, by You we live and by You we die and to You is the gathering." In the
evening he would say. "O Allah, by You we end the day, by You we live and by You
we die and to You is the gathering." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1454. Abu Hurayra reported that Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said, "Messenger of Allah,
tell me some words I can say in the morning and in the evening." He said, "Say,
'O Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the Unseen and the
Visible, Lord and Master of everything. I bear witness that there is no god but
You. I seek refuge from you from the evil of my self and from the evil of
Shaytan and his shirk.'" He said, "Say it in the morning and in the evening and
when you go to bed." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1455. Ibn Mas'ud said, "In the evening, the Prophet of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'We have reached the evening and the kingdom has
reached the evening by Allah. Praise belongs to Allah. There is no god but Allah
alone with no partner," The transmitter said, "I think that he also said, 'His
is the kingdom and His is the praise. He has power over everything. Lord, I ask
you for the good of what is in this night and the good of what comes after it,
and I seek refuge with You from the evil of what is in this night and the evil
of what comes after it. Lord, I seek refuge with You from laziness and the evil
of pride. Lord, I seek refuge with You from punishment in the Fire and
punishment in the grave.'" In the morning, he also said, "We have reached the
morning and the kingdom has reached the morning by Allah." [Abu Dawud and
at-Tirmidhi]

1456. 'Abdullah ibn Khubayb said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said to me, 'Recite, "Say: He is God, One," and the suras of seeking refuge in the evening and the morning three times, it will be
enough to protect you in respect of everything.'" [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1457. 'Uthman ibn 'Affan reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "No slave of Allah says in the morning
every day and the evening every night, 'In the name of Allah by whose name
nothing in the earth or the heaven can be harmed. He is the Hearing, the
Knowing,' three times without that ensuring that nothing will harm him." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

Riyad as-Salihin - on the excellence of circles of dhikr, and the recommendation to join them Hadith

Chapter: on the excellence of
circles of dhikr, and the recommendation to join them and the prohibition
against parting from them without excuse

 

Allah says, "Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on
their Lord morning and evening, desiring His Face. Do not turn your eyes from
them." (18:28)

 

1447. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Allah Almighty has angels who travel the highways
and by-ways seeking out the people of dhikr. When they find people remembering
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, they call out to one another, 'Come to what you
hunger for!' and they enfold them with their wings stretching up to the lowest
heaven. Their Lord - who knows best - asks them, 'What are My slaves saying?'
They say, 'They are glorifying You, proclaiming Your greatness, praising You and
magnifying You.' He says, 'Have they seen Me?' They say, 'No, by Allah, they
have not seen You.' He says, 'How would it be if they were to see Me?' [extra
'He said's deleted] They say, 'If they were to see You, they would worship You
even more intensely and magnify You even more intensely and glorify You even
more intensely.' He says, 'What are they asking for?' They say, 'They are asking
You for the Garden.' He says, 'Have they seen it?' They say, 'No, by Allah, O
Lord, they have not seen it.'" He says, 'How would it be if they were to see
it?' They say, 'If they were to see it, they would yearn for it even more
strongly and seek it even more assiduously and would have an even greater desire
for it.' He says, 'What are they seeking refuge from?' 'They are seeking refuge
from the Fire.' He says, 'Have they seen it?' He says, 'How would it be if they
were to see it?' They say, 'If they were to see it, they would flee from it even
harder and have an even greater fear of it.' He says, 'I testify to you that I
have forgiven them.' One of angels says, 'Among them is so-and-so who is not one
of them. He came to get something he needed.' He says, 'They are sitting and the
one sitting with them will not be disappointed.'" [Agreed upon]

In the variant of Muslim from Abu Hurayra is that the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah also has angels who travel about
seeking out gatherings of dhikr. When they find a gathering in which there is
dhikr, they sit with them and cover one another with their wings until they fill
up the space between them and the lowest heaven. When they separate, they rise
and ascend to the heaven. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic - and He knows best -
asks them, 'Where did you come from?' They say, 'We came from some of Your
slaves in the earth who were glorifying You, proclaiming Your greatness, saying,
'There is no god but Allah,' praising You and supplicating You.' He said, 'What
are they asking Me for?' They say, 'They are asking You for Your Garden.' He
said, 'Have they seen My Garden?' They say, 'No, O Lord.' He says, 'How would it
be if they were to see My Garden?' They say, 'They are seeking Your protection.'
They say, 'From Your Fire, O Lord.' He says, 'Have they seen My Fire?' They say,
'No.' He says, 'How would it be if they were to see My Fire?' They say, 'And
they are asking Your forgiveness.' He says, 'I have forgiven them and given them
what they ask and I have granted them protection from what they seek protection
from.' They say, 'O Lord, a certain slave is among them who just happened to be
passing and sat down with them.' He says, 'I have forgiven him. They are such
people that the one who sits with them will not be disappointed.'"

1448. Abu Hurayra and Abu Sa'id reported that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No people sit remembering Allah, the
Mighty and Exalted, without the angels surrounding them and mercy covering them
and tranquillity descending on them and Allah mentioning them to those who are
with Him." [Muslim]

1449. Abu Waqid al-Harith ibn 'Awf reported that once when the Messenger of
Allah may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sitting in the mosque with
some people, three people arrived. Two of them came up to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the other left. The two
stood before the Messenger of Allah. One of them saw a place in the gathering
and sat in it. Another sat behind the assembly. The third turned around and
left. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
finished, he said, "Shall I tell you about those three people? One of them
betook himself to Allah and so Allah took him in His mercy. The second was shy
about causing overcrowding and so Allah was shy with him [so He would not punish
him]. The other turned away, so Allah turned away [His mercy] from him." [Agreed
upon]

1450. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said, "Mu'awiya went out to a circle in the mosque
and said, 'What is it that has caused you to sit here?' They said, 'We have sat
down to remember Allah.' He said, 'By Allah, is that the only thing that has
made you sit together?' They said, 'We have sat down for that reason alone.' He
said, 'I did not make you swear out of any suspicion of you. No one who had a
similar position to mine in respect of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, has related less hadith than I have. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out to a circle of his
Companions and said, "What is it that has caused you to sit together?" They
said, "We have sat down to remember Allah and praise Him for He has guided us to
Islam and been gracious to us." He said, "By Allah, is that the only thing that
has made you sit together?" They said, "By Allah, we have sat for that reason
alone." He said, "I did not make you swear out of any suspicion of you, but
Jibril came to me and reported to me that the angels are boasting about you."'"

do not set free slaves." The Messenger of Allah said, "Shall I inform you of

those who come after you and no one will be better than you unless he does the
same as you do?" They said, "By all means, Messenger of Allah." He said, "You
should say 'Glory be to Allah,' 'Praise be to Allah,' and 'Allah is greater'

trials of life and death and from the evil of the trial of the Dajjal." [Muslim]

1424. 'Ali said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, did the prayer, the last thing he said between the tashahhud
and the salam was, 'O Allah, forgive me my past and future wrong actions,
what I conceal and what I make public and what I have been extravagant in. You
are the One who advances and the One who defers. There is no god but You.'"

grant him peace, and felt for him. He was bowing - or prostrating - and said,
'Glory be to You and by Your praise. There is no god but You.'

In one variant, "I put my hand on the inside of his feet and he was in the

pleasure from Your anger, and Your pardon from Your punishment. I seek refuge in
You from You. I cannot reckon Your praise. You are as You praised Yourself.'""
[Muslim]

enemy and striking their necks and their striking your necks?" They said, "Yes,
indeed!" He said, "Remembrance of Allah Almighty." [at-Tirmidhi]

her in the best possible way and then frees her and marries her. He has two
rewards." [Agreed upon]

Chapter: On the excellence of
being good to slaves

 

Allah Almighty says, "Worship Allah and do not associate
anything with Him. Be good to your parents and relatives and to orphans and
the very poor, and to neighbours who are related to you and neighbours who are
not related to you, and to companions and travellers and your slaves."
(4:36)

 

1360. Al-Ma'rur ibn Suwayd said, "I saw Abu Dharr when he was wearing a cloak
and his slave was wearing a similar cloak. I asked him about that and he
mentioned that in the time of the Messenger of Allah he had once exchanged
insults with a man and had abused him by insulting his mother. The Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "You are a man who still has some of
the Jahiliyya in you. They are your brothers whom Allah has placed under
your authority. Anyone who has authority over his brother should feed him from
what he eats and clothe him from what he wears and should not oblige his
brothers to do what is too much for them. If you ask that of them, then give
them a hand." [Agreed upon]

1361. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "When a servant of one of you brings him food, if he does not
sit with him, he should at least give him a morsel or two - or a bite or two. He
is the one who prepared it." [al-Bukhari]

Chapter: On the clarification of
those who are martyrs in respect of the reward of the Next World, but who are
washed and prayed over, which is the not the case with those killed fighting the
unbelievers

 

1353. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "There are five categories of martyr: someone killed
by the plague, someone killed by an abdominal disease, someone who drowns,
someone who is killed by a collapsing building and the martyr killed fighting in
the way of Allah." [Agreed upon]

1354. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Whom do you consider to be the martyrs among you."
They said, "Messenger of Allah, anyone who is killed in the way of Allah is a
martyr." He said, "The martyrs among my people will then be few." They said,
"Then who are they, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Anyone who is killed in the
way of Allah is a martyr. Anyone who dies in the way of Allah is a martyr.
Anyone who dies of the plague is a martyr. Anyone who dies of a stomach illness
is a martyr. Anyone who drowns is a martyr." [Muslim]

1355. 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'Anyone who is killed defending his property is a
martyr.'" [Agreed upon]

1356. Abu'l-A'war Sa'id ibn Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl, one of the ten who were
promised the Garden, who said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, say, 'Anyone who is killed defending his property is a
martyr. Anyone who is killed defending his life is a martyr. Anyone who is
killed defending his deen is a martyr. Anyone who is killed defending his family
is a martyr." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1357. Abu Hurayra said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, what is your
opinion about a man who comes wanting to seize my property?' He said, 'Do not
give him your property.' He said, 'What is your opinion if he fights me?' He
said, 'Then fight him.' He said, 'What is your opinion if he kills me?' He said,
'Then you will be a martyr.' He said, 'What is your opinion if I kill him?' He
said, 'Then he will be in the Fire.'" [Muslim]

Riyad as-Salihin - The excellence of Jihad Hadith

Riyad as-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous)

 

by Imam Nawawi

 

234. The excellence of
Jihad

 

Allah Almighty says, "But fight the idolaters totally just as
they fight you totally, and know that Allah is with the godfearing,"
(9:36)

and the Almighty says, "Fighting is prescribed for you even if it is
hateful to you. It may be that you hate a thing when it is good for you and it
may be that you love a thing when it is bad for you. Allah knows and you do
not know." (W2:214; H2:216)

The Almighty says, "Go out to fight,
whatever your circumstances or desires, and do jihad with your wealth and
yourselves in the way of Allah," (9:41)

and the Almighty says, "Allah
has bought from the believers their selves and their wealth in return for them
having the Garden. They fight in the way of Allah, and they kill and are
killed. It is a promise binding on Him in the Torah, the Injil and the Qur'an
and who is truer to his contract than Allah? Rejoice then in the bargain you
have made. That is the great victory." (9:111)

The Almighty says,
"Those believers who stay behind – other than those forced by necessity –
are not the same as those who do jihad in the way of Allah, sacrificing their
wealth and themselves. Allah has given those who do jihad with their wealth
and themselves a higher rank than those who stay behind. Allah has promised
the Best to both, but Allah has preferred those who do jihad over those who
stay behind by an immense reward: high ranks conferred by Him as well as
forgiveness and mercy. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (4:95-96)

The Almighty says, "O you who believe! Shall I direct you to a transaction
which will save you from a painful punishment? That you believe in Allah and
His Messenger and do jihad in the Way of Allah with your wealth and
yourselves. That is better for you if you only knew. He will forgive you your
wrong actions and admit you into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, and
fine dwellings in the Gardens of Eden. That is the Great Victory. And other
things you love: support from Allah and imminent victory. Give good news to
the believers!" (61:10-13)

 

1285. Abu Hurayra said that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was asked, "What action is the best?" He replied, "Belief in Allah and
His Messenger." He was asked, "Then what?" and replied, "Jihad in the way of
Allah." He was asked, "And then what?" He replied, "An accepted hajj." [Agreed
upon]

1286. Ibn Mas'ud said, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, what action is most
loved by Allah Almighty?' He said, 'The prayer at its proper time.' I asked,
'Then what?' He said, 'Then devotion to parents.' He said, Then what?' He said,
'Jihad in the way of Allah.'" [Agreed upon]

1287. Abu Dharr said, "I said, 'Messenger of Allah, what action is best?' He
said, 'Belief in Allah and jihad in His way.'" [Agreed upon]

1288. Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "A morning spent in the way of Allah or an evening is
better than this world and everything it contains." [Agreed upon]

1289. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said, "A man said, 'Messenger of Allah, who is the
best of people?' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'A believer who does jihad in the way of Allah with his self and
his wealth.' They said, 'Then who?' He said, 'A man who withdraws into a
mountain ravine and worships his Allah and spares people from his evil.'"
[Agreed upon]

1290. Sahl ibn Sa'd reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Manning the frontier (ribat) for one day in
the way of Allah is better than this world and everything in it. The place in
the Garden of one of your whips is better than this world and everything in it.
Any evening or a morning when a slave goes out in the way of Allah Almighty is
better than this world and everything in it." [Agreed upon]

1291. Salman said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, "Fighting on the front line (ribat) for a day and a
night is better than fasting and praying at night for a month. If a man dies
doing it, the actions which he used normally to do go on accruing for him and
his provision is bestowed on him and he will be safe from the trials of the
grave." [Muslim]

1292. Fadala ibn 'Ubayd reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "The actions of every dead person are sealed
except for the murabit in the way of Allah. His actions will go on
increasing until the Day of Rising. and he will be safe from the trials of the
grave." [Abu Dawud]

1293. 'Uthman said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, "Fighting on the front line (ribat) in the way of
Allah is better than a thousand years doing anything else." [at-Tirmidhi]

1294. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Allah gives a guarantee to the one who goes out in
the way of Allah: 'I will repay anyone who goes out for no other reason than
jihad in My way and belief in Me and affirmation of My Messengers either by
admitting him into the Garden or returning him to his home from which he left
with the reward he has obtained or booty.' By the One in whose hand the soul of
Muhammad is, on the Day of Rising every wound which a Muslim receives in the way
of Allah will be as it was when it was inflicted. Its colour will be that of
blood, but its scent will be that of musk. By the One in whose hand the soul of
Muhammad is, if it were not that it would be a source of difficulty for the
Muslims, I would never stay behind from any expedition in the way of Allah. But
I have not got the means to provide the people with mounts and they do not have
the means either and it would be hard for them to stay behind if I went. By the
One in whose hand the soul of Muhammad is, I would love to raid in the way of
Allah and be killed, and then raid and be killed again, and then raid and be
killed again." [Muslim]

1295. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Every one who is wounded will come of the Day of
Rising with his wound bleeding. It will be the colour of blood but have the
scent of musk." [Agreed upon]

1296. Mu'adh reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "If any Muslim man fights in the way of Allah even for a short
time, the Garden becomes mandatory for him. If anyone suffers a wound or some
disaster in the way of Allah, it will appear on the Day of Rising pouring blood
as it did when it first happened: its colour will be saffron and its scent like
musk." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

1297. Abu Hurayra said, "One of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah
passed by a ravine which had a small spring of sweet water in it and he admired
it. He said, 'If only I could withdraw from people and stay in this ravine! But
I will not do it until I have asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, for permission.' He mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said, 'Do not do it. The station
of one of you in the way of Allah is better than his prayer in his house for
seventy years. Would you not like Allah to forgive you and admit you into the
Garden? Raid in the way of Allah. If anyone fights in the way of Allah for even
a short time, the Garden becomes mandatory for him.'" [at-Tirmidhi]

1298. Abu Hurayra said, "It was said, 'Messenger of Allah, what is equal to
jihad in the way of Allah?' He said, 'You will not be able to do it.' They
repeated it to him twice or three times, and each time he said, "You will not be
able to do it.' Then he said, 'Someone who does jihad in the way of Allah is
like someone who fasts and prays at night in obedience to the verses of Allah
without slackening in his prayer or his fast until the one doing jihad in the
way of Allah returns.'" [Agreed upon]

In the variant of al-Bukhari, "A man said, 'Messenger of Allah, direct me to
an action which is equal to jihad.' He said, 'I do not know of one.' Then he
said, 'Are you capable, when the person doing jihad sets out, of entering your
mosque and then praying without slackening off and fasting without breaking the
fast?' He said, 'Who could possibly do that!'"

1299. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "One of the best of livelihoods that people can have
is that of a man who holds the reins of his horse in the way of Allah, hastening
on its back, and whenever he hears the sound of war or alarm, he flies to it
looking for either the killing or the death that he will find there, or that of
a man among some sheep at the top of one of these mountains or in the bottom of
one of these valleys who establishes the prayer and pays the zakat and worships
Allah until certainty (death) comes to him. He does not involve himself with
people except in a good way." [Muslim]

1300. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "In the Garden there are a hundred degrees which
Allah has prepared for those who do jihad in the way of Allah. Between each two
degrees is the space between heaven and earth." [al-Bukhari]

1301. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said. "The Garden is mandatory for anyone who is
pleased with Allah as Lord, Islam as deen and Muhammad as Messenger." Abu Sa'id
was amazed at it and said, "Repeat that to me, Messenger of Allah." and he
repeated it to him and then said, "There is something else by which Allah raises
the slave a hundred degrees in the Garden, the distance between each of which is
as great as the space between heaven and earth." He said, "What is it, Messenger
of Allah?" He said, "Jihad in the way of Allah. Jihad in the way of Allah."
[Muslim]

1302. Abu Bakr ibn Abi Musa al-Ash'ari said, "I heard my father say when he
was in the presence of the enemy, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "The gates of the Garden are under the shadow of the
swords."' A man of ragged appearance stood up and said, 'Abu Musa, did you
really hear the Messenger of Allah say this?' He said, 'Yes.' He returned to his
companions and said, 'I give the greeting to you.' Then he broke his sword's
scabbard, threw it away and walked with his sword towards the enemy, striking
with it until he was killed." [Muslim]

1303. Abu 'Abs 'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Jabr stated that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The Fire will not touch anyone
whose feet become dusty in the way of Allah " [al-Bukhari]

1304. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "No man who weeps out of fear of Allah will enter the
Fire until the milk returns to the breast. Dust raised in the way of Allah and
the smoke of Hellfire will never be joined together in respect of any slave of
Allah." [at-Tirmidhi]

1305. Ibn 'Abbas said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'There are two eyes which the Fire will not touch: an
eye which weeps out of fear of Allah and an eye that keeps watch in the way of
Allah." [at-Tirmidhi]

1306. Zayd ibn Khalid reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who equips someone for an expedition in
the way of Allah has gone on the expedition. Anyone who looks after someone's
family has gone on the expedition." [Agreed upon]

1307. Abu Umama reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The best sadaqa is the shade of a tent in the way of
Allah, the gift of a servant in the way of Allah or giving a male camel in the
way of Allah." [at-Tirmidhi]

1308. Anas reported that a lad from Aslam said, "Messenger of Allah, I want
to go on an expedition, but I do not have the wherewithal with which to prepare
myself. He said, 'Go to so-and-so. He has made preparations but has fallen ill.'
He said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
greets you and says to give me what you have prepared.' He said, 'Girl, give him
what I have prepared and do not hold anything back. By Allah, you should not
hold back any of it and it will be a blessing for you.'" [Muslim]

1309. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, sent an expedition to the Banu Lihyan of Hudhayl.
He said, "Let every two men send one more man, and the reward will be for both
of them." [Muslim]

In one variant, "One man out of every two men should go out." Then he said to
the one sitting, "Whichever of you looks after the family and property of the
one who goes out will have half the reward of the one who goes out."

1310. Al-Bara' said, "A man bristling with armour came to the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, shall I
fight or become Muslim?' He said, 'Become Muslim and then fight.' He became
Muslim and then fought and was killed.' The Messenger of Allah said, 'His action
was little but his reward is great.'" [Agreed upon]

1311. Anas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "No one will enter the Garden and then want to return to this
world, even if he had everything that is on the earth, except for a martyr who
wants to return to this world and be killed ten times more because of the honour
he experiences."

In one variant, "Because of the excellence of martyrdom he experiences."
[Agreed upon]

1312. 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As reported that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah forgives the martyr every
wrong action except debt." (In one variant, "Being killed in the way of Allah
expiates everything except debt.") [Muslim]

1313. Abu Qatada reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, stood up among them and mentioned that jihad in the way of
Allah and belief in Allah were the best actions. A man stood up and said,
"Messenger of Allah, tell me, if I am killed in the way of Allah, will that
expiate my sins for me?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said to him, "Yes, if you are killed in the way of Allah and you are
steadfast, expecting Allah's reward, advancing and not retreating." Then the
Messenger of Allah said, "What did you say?" He said, "Tell me, if I am killed
in the way of Allah, will that expiate my sins for me?" The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Yes, if you are killed in the
way of Allah and you are steadfast, expecting Allah's reward, advancing and not
retreating - except if you have debts. Jibril, peace be upon him, said that to
me." [Muslim]

1314. Jabir reported that a man said, "Where will I be, Messenger of Allah,
if I am killed?" He said, "In the Garden." He threw away some dates that were in
his hand and then fought until he was killed." [Muslim]

1315. Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and his Companions advanced so that they reached Badr before the
idolaters. Then the idolaters arrived. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'None of you should advance to anything unless I
go first.' The idolaters drew near and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'Rise up for a Garden whose breadth is that of
the heavens and the earth.' 'Umayr ibn al-Humam al-Ansari said, 'Messenger of
Allah, a Garden whose breadth is that of the heavens and the earth?' He said,
'Yes.' He said, 'Excellent! excellent!' The Messenger of Allah said, 'What moved
you to say, 'Excellent! excellent!'" He said, "By Allah, Messenger of Allah,
nothing but the hope that I will be among its people!' He said, 'You are among
its people.' He took some dates from his quiver and began to eat some of them.
Then he said, "If I live long enough to eat these dates, it will indeed be a
long life!" He threw away the dates he had and then fought until he was killed."
[Muslim]

1316. Anas said, "Some people came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, saying, 'Send us some men to teach us the Qur'an and the
Sunna.' He sent them seventy men of the Ansar who were called "the reciters".
They included my uncle Hiram. During the night they used to recite the Qur'an
and study and learn. During the day they would fetch water and put it in the
mosque and fetch firewood and sell it and use the proceeds to buy food for the
people of the Suffa and the poor. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, sent them and they were attacked and killed before they had reached the
place. They said, 'O Allah, convey from us to our Prophet that we have met You
and we are pleased with You and You are pleased with us.' A man came to Hiram,
Anas's uncle, from behind and stabbed him with a spear so that it went right
through him. Hiram said, 'I have won, by the Lord of the Ka'ba!' The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Your brothers have
been killed and they said, "O Allah, convey from us to our Prophet that we have
met You and we are pleased with You and You are pleased with us."'" [Agreed
upon]

1317. Anas said, "My uncle, Anas ibn an-Nadr, missed the fighting at Badr and
said, 'Messenger of Allah, I missed the first battle in which you fought the
idolaters. If Allah gives me the opportunity to fight the idolaters, Allah will
see what I shall do!' On the Day of Uhud, the Muslims were routed and he said,
'O Allah, I apologise to You for what these people have done (i.e. his
companions) and I declare myself innocent to You of what those people have done,
(i.e. the idolaters).' Then he went forward and Sa'd ibn Mu'adh met him. He
said, 'O Sa'd ibn Mu'adh! The Garden, by the Lord of the Ka'ba! I smell its
fragrance from below Uhud!' Sa'd said, 'Messenger of Allah, I could not do what
he did.'" Anas said, "We found him with about eighty wounds, sword thrusts or
spear stabs or arrows. We found that he had been killed and the idolaters had
mutilated him. No one could recognise him except for his sister by his
fingertips.' Anas said, "We used to think or suppose that this ayat was sent
down about him and his like, 'Among the believers there are men who have been
true to the contract they made with Allah.' (33:23)" [Agreed upon]

1318. It is related from Samura that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "In the night I dreamt that two men came to me
and took me up the tree and had me enter the most beautiful and excellent house
and I have never seen a better house than it. They said, 'This house is the
house of the martyrs.'" [al-Bukhari]

1319. Anas reported that Umm ar-Rubayyi' bint al-Bara', the mother of
al-Haritha ibn Suraqa, came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, will you not tell me about Haritha?" He
had been killed at the Battle of Badr. "If he is in the Garden, I will be
patient. If the case is other than that, I will weep my eyes out for him." He
said, "Umm Haritha, there are many gardens within the Garden, and your son has
obtained the Highest Paradise." [al-Bukhari]

1320. Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "My father was brought to the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he had been mutilated. He was placed
before him and I went to uncover his face and some people prevented me.' The
Prophet said, 'The angels are still covering him with their wings." [Agreed
upon]

1321. Sahl ibn Hunayf reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "If anyone asks Allah Almighty for martyrdom with
sincerity, Allah will make him reach the degree of the martyrs, even if he dies
in bed." [Muslim]

1322. Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Anyone who sincerely seeks martyrdom will be given the
reward of it, even if he is not wounded." [Muslim]

1323. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Martyrs only experience the blow which kills them as
one of you might experience the prick of a sting." [at-Tirmidhi]

the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, met the enemy,
he waited until the sun declined and then stood up to address the people and
said, "O people! Do not be too eager to meet the enemy and ask Allah for
well-being. When you do meet them, be steadfast. Know that the Garden lies under
the shadow of the swords." Then he said, "O Allah, Sender-down of the Book and
Mover of the clouds and Vanquisher of the Companies, defeat them and help us
against them!" [Agreed upon]

1325. Sahl ibn Sa'd stated that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Two things will not be rejected - or rarely rejected
- the supplication at the time of the call to prayer and in battle when people
