- Narrated Abu Jamra: I was an interpreter between the people and Ibn Abbas. Once Ibn Abbas said that a delegation of the tribe of Abdul Qais came to the Prophet ﷺ who asked them; Who are the people i.e. you ? Or who are the delegates? They replied; We are from the tribe of Rabia. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to them; Welcome; O people or said; O delegation of Abdul Qais. Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret. They said; We have come to you from a distant place and there is the tribe of the infidels of Mudar intervening between you and us and we cannot come to you except in the sacred month. So please order us to do something good religious deeds and that we may also inform our people whom we have left behind at home and that we may enter Paradise by acting on them. The Prophet ordered them to do four things; and forbade them from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah Alone; the Honorable the Majestic and said to them; Do you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone? They replied; Allah and His Apostle know better. Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said; That means to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle; to offer prayers perfectly; to pay Zakat; to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan; and to pay AlKhumus one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah cause. Then he forbade them four things; namely AlDubba. Hantam; Muzaffat and AlNaqir or Muqaiyar These were the names of pots in which alcoholic drinks used to be prepared. The Prophet ﷺ further said; Memorize them these instructions and tell them to the people whom you have left behind. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6143
- Narrated Ibn Abbas: That he differed with Hur Bin Qais Bin Housn AlFazari regarding the companion of the Prophet Moses. Ibn Abbas said that he was AlKhadir. Meanwhile; Ubai Bin Kaab passed by them and Ibn Abbas called him; saying My friend Hur and I have differed regarding Moses companion; whom Moses asked the way to meet. Have you heard the Prophet ﷺ mentioning something about him? He said; Yes. I heard Allah Messenger ﷺ saying; While Moses was sitting in the company of some Israelites; a man came and asked him. Do you know anyone who is more learned than you? Moses replied: No. So Allah sent the Divine Inspiration to Moses: Yes; Our slave Khadir is more learned than you. Moses asked Allah how to meet him Khadir. So Allah made the fish as a sign for him and he was told that when the fish was lost; he should return to the place where he had lost it and there he would meet him AlKhadir. So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea. The servant-boy of Moses said to him: Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock; I indeed forgot the fish; none but Satan made me forget to remember it. On that Moses said: That is what we have been seeking? 18.64 So they went back retracing their footsteps; and found Khadir. And what happened further to them is narrated in the Holy Quran by Allah. 18.54 up to 18.82 SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6130

- Narrated Said: Abu Shuraih said; When Amr Bin Saeed was sending the troops to Mecca to fight Abdullah Bin AlZubair I said to him; O chief! Allow me to tell you what the Prophet ﷺ said on the day following the conquests of Mecca. My ears heard and my heart comprehended; and I saw him with my own eyes; when he said it. He glorified and praised Allah and then said; Allah and not the people has made Mecca a sanctuary. So anybody who has belief in Allah and the Last Day i.e. a Muslim should neither shed blood in it nor cut down its trees. If anybody argues that fighting is allowed in Mecca as Allah Messenger ﷺ did fight in Mecca ; tell him that Allah gave permission to His Apostle; but He did not give it to you. The Prophet ﷺ added: Allah allowed me only for a few hours on that day of the conquest and today now its sanctity is the same valid as it was before. So it is incumbent upon those who are present to convey it this information to those who are absent. Abu Shuraih was asked; What did Amr reply? He said Amr said; O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you in this respect. Mecca does not give protection to one who disobeys Allah or runs after committing murder; or theft and takes refuge in Mecca. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6160
- Narrated Abu Bakra: The Prophet ﷺ said. No doubt your blood; property; the sub-narrator Muhammad thought that Abu Bakra had also mentioned and your honor chastity ; are sacred to one another as is the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours. It is incumbent on those who are present to inform those who are absent. Muhammad the Sub-narrator used to say; Allah Messenger ﷺ told the truth. The Prophet ﷺ repeated twice: No doubt! Havent I conveyed Allah message to you. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6161
- Narrated Saeed Bin Jubair: I said to Ibn Abbas; Nauf AlBakali claims that Moses the companion of Khadir was not the Moses of Bani Israel but he was another Moses. Ibn Abbas remarked that the enemy of Allah Nauf was a liar.Narrated Ubai Bin Kaab The Prophet ﷺ said; Once the Prophet ﷺ Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked; Who is the most learned man amongst the people. He said; I am the most learned. Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him Allah. So Allah inspired to him At the junction of the two seas there is a slave amongst my slaves who is more learned than you. Moses said; O my Lord! How can I meet him? Allah said: Take a fish in a large basket and proceed and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set out along with his servant boy; Yusha Bin Noon and carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock; where they laid their heads i.e. lay down and slept. The fish came out of the basket and it took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing thing for both Moses and his servant boy. They proceeded for the rest of that night and the following day. When the day broke; Moses said to his servant boy: Bring us our early meal. No doubt; we have suffered much fatigue in this journey. Moses did not get tired till he passed the place about which he was told. There the servant boy told Moses; Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock; I indeed forgot the fish. Moses remarked; That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps; till they reached the rock. There they saw a man covered with a garment or covering himself with his own garment. Moses greeted him. AlKhadir replied saying; How do people greet each other in your land? Moses said; I am Moses. He asked; The Moses of Bani Israel? Moses replied in the affirmative and added; May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been taught. AlKhadir replied; Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with me; O Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do not know; while you have some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know. Moses said; Allah willing; you will find me patient and I will disobey no order of yours. So both of them set out walking along the seashore; as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized AlKhadir and took them on board without fare. Then a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice in the sea. AlKhadir said: O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak. AlKhadir went to one of the planks of the boat and plucked it out. Moses said; These people gave us a free lift but you have broken their boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people. AlKhadir replied; Didnt I tell you that you will not be able to remain patient with me. Moses said; Call me not to account for what I forgot. The first excuse of Moses was that he had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and found a boy playing with other boys. AlKhadir took hold of the boy head from the top and plucked it out with his hands i.e. killed him. Moses said; Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed none. AlKhadir replied; Did I not tell you that you cannot remain patient with me? Then they both proceeded till when they came to the people of a town; they asked them for food; but they refused to entertain them. Then they found there a wall on the point of collapsing. AlKhadir repaired it with his own hands. Moses said; If you had wished; surely you could have taken wages for it. AlKhadir replied; This is the parting between you and me. The Prophet added; May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more patient to learn more about his story with AlKhadir. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6178
- Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika: Whenever Aisha the wife of the Prophet heard anything which she did not understand; she used to ask again till she understood it completely. Aisha said: Once the Prophet ﷺ said; Whoever will be called to account about his deeds on the Day of Resurrection will surely be punished. I said; Doesnt Allah say: He surely will receive an easy reckoning. 84.8 The Prophet ﷺ replied; This means only the presentation of the accounts but whoever will be argued about his account; will certainly be ruined. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6159
- Narrated Abu Waqid AlLaithi: While Allah Messenger ﷺ was sitting in the mosque with some people; three men came. Two of them came in front of Allah Messenger ﷺ and the third one went away. The two persons kept on standing before Allah Messenger ﷺ for a while and then one of them found a place in the circle and sat there while the other sat behind the gathering; and the third one went away. When Allah Messenger ﷺ finished his preaching; he said; Shall I tell you about these three persons? One of them betook himself to Allah; so Allah took him into His grace and mercy and accommodated him; the second felt shy from Allah; so Allah sheltered Him in His mercy and did not punish him ; while the third turned his face from Allah and went away; so Allah turned His face from him likewise. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6122

- Narrated Abu Mousa: The Prophet ﷺ said; The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth; some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. And another portion of it was hard and held the rain water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking; making their animals drink from it and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. And a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation then that land gave no benefits. The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah religion and gets benefit from the knowledge which Allah has revealed through me the Prophets and learns and then teaches others. The last example is that of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah guidance revealed through me He is like that barren land. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6135
- Narrated Abdullah Bin AlZubair: I said to my father; I do not hear from you any narration Hadith of Allah s Apostle as I hear his narration from so and so?

- Narrated Abu Huraira: In the year of the Conquest of Mecca; the tribe of Khuzaa killed a man from the tribe of Bani Laith in revenge for a killed person; belonging to them. They informed the Prophet ﷺ about it. So he rode his Rahila camel for riding and addressed the people saying; Allah held back the killing from Mecca. The sub-narrator is in doubt whether the Prophet ﷺ said elephant or killing; as the Arabic words standing for these words have great similarity in shape ; but He Allah let His Apostle and the believers over power the infidels of Mecca. Beware! Mecca is a sanctuary Verily! Fighting in Mecca was not permitted for anyone before me nor will it be permitted for anyone after me. It war in it was made legal for me for few hours or so on that day. No doubt it is at this moment a sanctuary; it is not allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to uproot its trees or to pick up its Luqat fallen things except by a person who will look for its owner announce it publicly. And if somebody is killed; then his closest relative has the right to choose one of the two- the blood money Diya or retaliation having the killer killed. In the meantime a man from Yemen came and said; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! Get that written for me. The Prophet ﷺ ordered his companions to write that for him. Then a man from Quraish said; Except AlIdhkhir a type of grass that has good smell O Allah Messenger ﷺ ; as we use it in our houses and graves. The Prophet ﷺ said; Except AlIdhkhir i.e. AlIdhkhir is allowed to be plucked. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6168

The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6155
- Narrated Abdullah: While I was going with the Prophet ﷺ through the ruins of Medina and he was reclining on a date-palm leaf stalk; some Jews passed by. Some of them said to the others: Ask him the Prophet about the spirit. Some of them said that they should not ask him that question as he might give a reply which would displease them. But some of them insisted on asking; and so one of them stood up and asked; O Ab AlQasim ! What is the spirit? The Prophet ﷺ remained quiet. I thought he was being inspired Divinely. So I stayed till that state of the Prophet while being inspired was over. The Prophet ﷺ then said; And they ask you O Muhammad concerning the spirit -Say: The spirit - its knowledge is with my Lord. And of knowledge you mankind have been given only a little. 17.85 SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6181
