ISLAMIC LIES, ABSURDITIES  & INACCURACIES - Volume #4
(Based upon the Haddiths)
By: Abdul Haleem
 

It is narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I was brought al-Buraq Who is an animal white and long, larger than a donkey but smaller than a mule, who would place his hoof a distance equal to the range of version. I MOUNTED IT AND CAME TO THE TEMPLE (BAIT MAQDIS IN JERUSALEM), then tethered it to the ring used by the prophets. I ENTERED THE MOSQUE AND PRAYED TWO RAK'AHS IN IT, and then came out and Gabriel brought me a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk. I chose the milk, and Gabriel said: You have chosen the natural thing. Then he took me to heaven. Gabriel then asked the (gate of heaven) to be opened and he was asked who he was. He replied: Gabriel. He was again asked: Who is with you? He (Gabriel) said: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? Gabriel replied: He has indeed been sent for. And (the door of the heaven) was opened for us and lo! we saw Adam. He welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then we ascended to the second heaven. Gabriel (peace be upon him) (asked the door of heaven to be opened), and he was asked who he was. He answered: Gabriel; and was again asked: Who is with you? He replied: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened. When I entered 'Isa b. Maryam and Yahya b. Zakariya (peace be upon both of them), cousins from the maternal side. welcomed me and prayed for my good Then I was taken to the third heaven and Gabriel asked for the opening (of the door). He was asked: Who are you? He replied: Gabriel. He was (again) asked: Who is with you? He replied Muhammad (may peace be upon him). It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and I saw Yusuf (peace of Allah be upon him) who had been given half of (world) beauty. He welcomed me prayed for my well-being. Then he ascended with us to the fourth heaven. Gabriel (peace be upon him) asked for the (gate) to be opened, and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was (again) said: Who is with you? He said: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The (gate) was opened for us, and lo! Idris was there. He welcomed me and prayed for my well-being (About him) Allah, the Exalted and the Glorious, has said:" We elevated him (Idris) to the exalted position" (Qur'an xix. 57). Then he ascended with us to the fifth heaven and Gabriel asked for the (gate) to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He replied Gabriel. It was (again) said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad. It was said Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and then I was with Harun (Aaron-peace of Allah be upon him). He welcomed me prayed for my well-being. Then I was taken to the sixth heaven. Gabriel (peace be upon him) asked for the door to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and there I was with Musa (Moses peace be upon him) He welcomed me and prayed for my well-being. Then I was taken up to the seventh heaven. Gabriel asked the (gate) to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He said: Gabriel It was said. Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad (may peace be upon him.) It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and there I found Ibrahim (Abraham peace be upon him) reclining against the Bait-ul-Ma'mur and there enter into it seventy thousand angels every day, never to visit (this place) again. Then I was taken to Sidrat-ul-Muntaha whose leaves were like elephant ears and its fruit like big earthenware vessels. And when it was covered by the Command of Allah, it underwent such a change that none amongst the creation has the power to praise its beauty.

Then Allah revealed to me a revelation and He made obligatory for me fifty prayers every day and night. Then I went down to Moses (peace be upon him) and he said: What has your Lord enjoined upon your Ummah? I said: Fifty prayers. He said: Return to thy Lord and beg for reduction (in the number of prayers), for your community shallnot be able to bear this burden. as I have put to test the children of Isra'il and tried them (and found them too weak to bear such a heavy burden). He (the Holy Prophet) said: I went back to my Lord and said: My Lord, make things lighter for my Ummah. (The Lord) reduced five prayers for me. I went down to Moses and said. (The Lord) reduced five (prayers) for me, He said: Verily thy Ummah shall not be able to bear this burden; return to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter. I then kept going back and forth between my Lord Blessed and Exalted and Moses, till He said: There are five prayers every day and night. O Muhammad, each being credited as ten, so that makes fifty prayers. He who intends to do a good deed and does not do it will have a good deed recorded for him; and if he does it, it will be recorded for him as ten; whereas he who intends to do an evil deed and does not do, it will not be recorded for him; and if he does it, only one evil deed will be recorded. I then came down and when I came to Moses and informed him, he said: Go back to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: I returned to my Lord until I felt ashamed before Him.

Narrated Maymunah ibn Sa'd:

I said: Apostle of Allah, tell us the legal injunction about (VISITING) BAYT AL-MUQADDAS (THE DOME OF THE ROCK AT JERUSALEM). The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: GO AND PRAY THERE. All the cities at that time were effected by war. IF YOU CANNOT VISIT IT AND PRAY THERE, THEN SEND SOME OIL TO BE USED IN THE LAMPS.

Muslim, Book 7: Number 3218:

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) REPORTED IT DIRECTLY FROM ALLAH'S APOSTLE (may peace be upon him) that he said: DO NOT UNDERTAKE JOURNEY BUT TO THREE MOSQUES: this mosque of mine, the Mosque of al-Haram and THE MOSQUE OF AQSA (BAIT AL-MAQDIS).

PROPHETS’ BODIES DON’T DECAY?

Abu-Dawud, Book 3, Number 1042:

Narrated Aws ibn Aws:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Among the most excellent of your days is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he died, on it the last trumpet will be blown, and on it the shout will be made, so invoke more blessings on me that day, for YOUR BLESSINGS WILL BE SUBMITTED TO ME. The people asked: Apostle of Allah, how can it be that our blessings will be submitted to you while your body is decayed? He replied: ALLAH, THE EXALTED, HAS PROHIBITED THE EARTH FROM CONSUMING THE BODIES OF PROPHETS.

MAGIC INCANTATIONS TO REPEL SATAN

Yep, Muslims really believe this malarky!

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, "IF ANYONE OF YOU, WHEN HAVING SEXUAL RELATION WITH HIS WIFE, SAY: 'IN THE NAME OF ALLAH. O ALLAH! PROTECT US FROM SATAN AND PREVENT SATAN FROM APPROACHING OUR OFFSPRING YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE US,' and if he begets a child (as a result of that relation) Satan will not harm it."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, "IF ANYONE OF YOU, ON HAVING SEXUAL RELATION WITH HIS WIFE, SAYS: 'O ALLAH! PROTECT ME FROM SATAN, AND PREVENT SATAN FROM APPROACHING THE OFFSPRING YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE ME,' and if it happens that the lady conceives a child, Satan will neither harm it nor be given power over it."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

The Prophet said, "If while you are praying, somebody intends to pass in front of you, prevent him; and should he insist, prevent him again; and if he insists again, fight with him (i.e. prevent him violently e.g. pushing him violently), because such a person is (like) a devil."

Narrated Muhammad bin Sirin: Abu Huraira said, "Allah's Apostle put me in charge of the Zakat of Ramadan (i.e. Zakat-ul-Fitr). Someone came to me and started scooping some of the foodstuff of (Zakat) with both hands. I caught him and told him that I would take him to Allah's Apostle." Then Abu Huraira told the whole narration and added "He (i.e. the thief) said, 'WHENEVER YOU GO TO YOUR BED, RECITE THE VERSE OF "AL-KURSI" (2.255) FOR THEN A GUARDIAN FROM ALLAH WILL BE GUARDING YOU, AND SATAN WILL NOT APPROACH YOU TILL DAWN.' " On that the Prophet said, "He told you the truth, though he is a liar, and he (the thief) himself was the Satan."

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: WHEN THE MU'ADHDHIN CALLS TO PRAYER, SATAN RUNS BACK VEHEMENTLY.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "IF ONE SAYS ONE-HUNDRED TIMES IN ONE DAY: "NONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPPED BUT ALLAH, THE ALONE WHO HAS NO PARTNERS, TO HIM BELONGS DOMINION AND TO HIM BELONG ALL THE PRAISES, AND HE HAS POWER OVER ALL THINGS (I.E. OMNIPOTENT)", ONE WILL GET THE REWARD OF MANUMITTING TEN SLAVES, AND ONE-HUNDRED GOOD DEEDS WILL BE WRITTEN IN HIS ACCOUNT, AND ONE-HUNDRED BAD DEEDS WILL BE WIPED OFF OR ERASED FROM HIS ACCOUNT, AND ON THAT DAY HE WILL BE PROTECTED FROM THE MORNING TILL EVENING FROM SATAN, and nobody will be superior to him except one who has done more than that which he has done."

AbuHuraira reported the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying: WHEN SATAN HEARS THE CALL TO PRAYER, HE TURNS BACK AND BREAKS THE WIND SO AS NOT TO BEAR THE CALL BEING MADE, but when the call is finished he turns round and distracts (the minds of those who pray), and when he bears the Iqama he again runs away so as not to hear its voice and when it subsides, he comes back and distracts (the minds of those who stand for prayer).

Suhail reported that his father sent him to Banu Haritha along with a boy or a man. Someone called him by his name from an enclosure. He (thenarrator) said: The person with me looked towards the enclosure, but saw nothing. I made a mention of that to my father. He said: If I knew that you would meet such a situation I would have never sent you (there), but (bear in wind) whenever you hear such a call (from the evil spirits) pronounce the Adhan. for I have heard Abu Huraira say that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: WHENEVER ADHAN IS PROCLAIMED, SATAN RUNS BACK VEHEMENTLY.

Abu Huraira reported: The Apostle (may peace be upon him) said WHEN THE CALL TO PRAYER IS MADE, SATAN RUNS BACK AND BREAKS WIND SO AS NOT TO HEAR THE CALL BEING MADE, and when the call is finished. he turns round. When Iqama is proclaimed he turns his back, and when it is finished he turns round to distract a man, saying: Re- member such and such; remember such and such, referring to something the man did not have in his mind, with the result that he does not know how much he has prayed.

SUN RISES BETWEEN HEAD OF DEVIL?

Narrated Ibn Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "When the (upper) edge of the sun appears (in the morning), don't perform a prayer till the sun appears in full, and when the lower edge of the sun sets, don't perform a prayer till it sets completely. AND YOU SHOULD NOT SEEK TO PRAY AT SUNRISE OR SUNSET FOR THE SUN RISES BETWEEN TWO SIDES OF THE HEAD OF THE DEVIL (OR SATAN)."

Narrated Amr ibn Anbasah as-Sulami:

I asked: Apostle of Allah, in which part of night the supplication is more likely to be accepted?

He replied: In the last part: Pray as much as you like, for the prayer is attended by the angels and it is recorded till you offer the dawn prayer; then STOP PRAYING WHEN THE SUN IS RISING TILL IT HAS REACHED THE HEIGHT OF ONE OR TWO LANCES, FOR IT RISES BETWEEN THE TWO HORNS OF THE DEVIL, and the infidels offer prayer for it (at that time). Then pray as much as you like, because the prayer is witnessed and recorded till the shadow of a lance be- comes equal to it. Then cease prayer, for at that time the Hell-fire is heated up and doors of Hell are opened.

When the sun declines, pray as much as you like, for the prayer is witnessed till you pray the afternoon prayer; then cease prayer till the sun sets, for it sets between the horns of the Devil, and (at that time) the infidels offer prayer for it. He narrated a lengthy tradition.

Abbas said: AbuSalam narrated this tradition in a similar manner from AbuUmamah. If I have made a mistake unintentionally, I beg pardon of Allah and repent to Him.

BAD DREAMS FROM SATAN AND SPITTING ON LEFT SIDE REPELS THEM?

Narrated Abu Qatada:

The Prophet said, "A GOOD DREAM IS FROM ALLAH, AND A BAD OR EVIL DREAM IS FROM SATAN; SO IF ANYONE OF YOU HAS A BAD DREAM OF WHICH HE GETS AFRAID, HE SHOULD SPIT ON HIS LEFT SIDE and should seek Refuge with Allah from its evil, for then it will not harm him."

LICK YOU HANDS AFTER EATING - OR HAVE SOMEONE LICK THEM - BEFORE WIPING?

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, 'WHEN YOU EAT, DO NOT WIPE YOUR HANDS TILL YOU HAVE LICKED IT, OR HAD IT LICKED BY SOMEBODY ELSE."

Muslim, Book 023, Number 5037:

Ibn 'Abbas reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him.) as saying: WHEN ANY ONE OF YOU EATS FOOD HE SHOULD NOT WIPE HIS HAND UNTIL HE HAS LICKED IT HIMSELF OR HAS GIVEN IT TO SOMEONE ELSE TO LICK.

Muslim, Book 023, Number 5038:

Ibn 'Abbas reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: WHEN ANY ONE OF YOU EATS FOOD HE SHOULD NOT WIPE HIS HAND UNTIL HE HAS LICKED IT OR GOT IT LICKED BY (someone else).

Muslim, Book 023, Number 5043:

Jabir reported that ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) COMMANDED THE LICKING OF FINGERS AND THE DISH, saying: You do not know in what portion the blessing lies."

Muslim, Book 023, Number 5050:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: WHEN ANY ONE OF YOU EATS FOOD HE SHOULD LICK HIS FINGERS, FOR HE DOES NOT KNOW IN WHAT PART OF THE FOOD STICKING TO HIS FINGERS THE BLESSING LIES. This hadith has been reported on the authority of Hammad with the same chain of transmitters, but with a slight variation of wording.

MUHAMMAD COMMANDED EATING FOOD THAT DROPS TO THE FLOOR FROM YOUR MOUTH?

Muslim, Book 023, Number 5044:

Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: WHEN ANY ONE OF YOU DROPS A MOUTHFUL HE SHOULD PICK IT UP AND REMOVE ANY OF THE FILTH ON IT, AND THEN EAT IT, AND SHOULD NOT LEAVE IT FOR THE SATAN, AND SHOULD NOT WIPE HIS HAND WITH TOWEL UNTIL HE HAS LICKED HIS FINGERS, for he does not know in what portion of the food the blessing lies.

Muslim, Book 023, Number 5046:

Jabir reported: I heard Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: THE SATAN IS PRESENT WITH ANY ONE OF YOU IN EVERYTHING HE DOES; HE IS PRESENT EVEN WHEN HE EATS FOOD; SO IF ANY ONE OF YOU DROPS A MOUTHFUL HE SHOULD REMOVE AWAY ANYTHING FILTHY ON IT AND EAT IT AND NOT LEAVE FOR THE DEVIL; AND WHEN HE FINISHES (FOOD) HE SHOULD LICK HIS FINGERS, for he does not know in what portion of his food the blessing lies.

Muslim, Book 023, Number 5049:

Anas reported that when ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) ATE FOOD HE LICKED HIS THREE FINGERS, AND HE SAID: WHEN ANY ONE OF YOU DROPS A MOUTHFUL HE SHOULD REMOVE ANYTHING FILTHY FROM IT AND THEN EAT IT, AND SHOULD NOT LEAVE IT FOR THE SATAN. HE ALSO COMMANDED US THAT WE SHOULD WIPE THE DISH SAYING: You do not know in what portion of your food the blessing lies.

SAFFRON: DID MUHAMMAD USE IT - OR PROHIBIT IT?

Some "infallible" ahadith say the Prophet liked saffron - and even used it as a dye himself:

Muslim, Book 33, Number 4198:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) used to wear tanned leather sandals and DYE HIS BEARD YELLOW WITH WARS AND SAFFRON.

Muslim, Book 33, Number 4199:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

When a man who had dyed himself with henna passed by the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), he said: How fine this is! When another man who had dyed himself with henna and katam passed by, he said: This is better than that. Then another MAN WHO HAD DYED HIMSELF WITH YELLOW DYE, PASSED BY, HE SAID: THIS IS BETTER THAN ALL THAT.

These say JUST THE OPPOSITE:

Muslim, Book 33, Number 4170:

Narrated Anas ibn Malik:

A MAN CAME TO THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) AND HE HAD THE MARK OF YELLOWNESS (OF SAFFRON). The Prophet (peace be upon him rarely mentioned a thing which he disliked before a man. WHEN HE WENT AWAY, HE SAID: WOULD THAT YOU TELL THIS MAN THAT HE SHOULD WASH THIS OFF HIM.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

THE PROPHET FORBADE MUHRIMS TO WEAR CLOTHES DYED WITH WARS OR SAFFRON.

THE PROPHET WAS IMMUNE FROM POISON?

Muslim, Book 26, Number 5430:

Anas reported that A JEWESS CAME TO ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) WITH POISONED MUTTON AND HE TOOK OF THAT WHAT HAD BEEN BROUGHT TO HIM (Allah's Messenger). (WHEN THE EFFECT OF THIS POISON WERE FELT BY HIM) HE CALLED FOR HER AND ASKED HER ABOUT THAT, WHEREUPON SHE SAID: I HAD DETERMINED TO KILL YOU. THEREUPON HE SAID: ALLAH WILL NEVER GIVE YOU THE POWER TO DO IT. He (the narrator) said that they (the Companion's of the Holy Prophet) said: Should we not kill her? Thereupon he said: No. He (Anas) said: I felt (the affects of this poison) on the uvula of Aitah's Messenger.

MUSLIM RULERS MUST BE OBEYED - NO MATTER HOW BAD!

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said, "YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO AND OBEY, YOUR RULER EVEN IF HE WAS AN ETHIOPIAN (BLACK) SLAVE WHOSE HEAD LOOKS LIKE A RAISIN."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, "IF SOMEBODY SEES HIS MUSLIM RULER DOING SOMETHING HE DISAPPROVES OF, HE SHOULD BE PATIENT, for whoever becomes separate from the Muslim group even for a span and then dies, he will die as those who died in the Pre-lslamic period of ignorance (as rebellious sinners). (See Hadith No. 176 and 177)

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

The Prophet said, "WHOEVER DISAPPROVES OF SOMETHING DONE BY HIS RULER THEN HE SHOULD BE PATIENT, FOR WHOEVER DISOBEYS THE RULER EVEN A LITTLE (LITTLE = A SPAN) WILL DIE AS THOSE WHO DIED IN THE PRE-LSLAMIC PERIOD OF IGNORANCE. (I.E. AS REBELLIOUS SINNERS).

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, "WHOEVER NOTICES SOMETHING WHICH HE DISLIKES DONE BY HIS RULER, THEN HE SHOULD BE PATIENT, for whoever becomes separate from the company of the Muslims even for a span and then dies, he will die as those who died in the Pre-lslamic period of Ignorance (as rebellious sinners). (Fateh-Al-Bari page 112, Vol. 16)

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "A MUSLIM HAS TO LISTEN TO AND OBEY (THE ORDER OF HIS RULER) WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT, as long as his orders involve not one in disobedience (to Allah), but if an act of disobedience (to Allah) is imposed one should not listen to it or obey it. (See Hadith No. 203, Vol. 4)

MUHMMAD ORDERED HIS FOLLOWERS "KILL THE JEWS"

Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: COME HERE, MUSLIM, THERE IS A JEW (HIDING HIMSELF BEHIND ME) ; KILL HIM.

Ubaidullah has reported this hadith with this chain of transmitters (and the Words are):" There is a Jew behind me."

Abdullah b. 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You and the Jews would fight against one another until a stone would say: MUSLIM, HERE IS A JEW BEHIND ME; COME AND KILL HIM.

Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Jews will fight against you and you will gain victory over them until the stone would say: MUSLIM, HERE IS A JEW BEHIND ME; KILL HIM.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: MUSLIM, OR THE SERVANT OF ALLAH, THERE IS A JEW BEHIND ME; COME AND KILL HIM; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! THERE IS A JEW HIDING BEHIND ME; SO KILL HIM.' "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O MUSLIM! THERE IS A JEW HIDING BEHIND ME, SO KILL HIM."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, 'O MUSLIM! THERE IS A JEW BEHIND ME; KILL HIM!' "

FIFTY WOMEN FOR EVERY MAN AT TIME OF END?

Narrated Anas:

I will narrate to you a narration which nobody will narrate to you after me. I heard that form the Prophet. I heard the Prophet saying, "The Hour will not be established" or said: "FROM AMONG THE PORTENTS OF THE HOUR IS THAT the religious knowledge will betaken away (by the death of religious Scholars) and general ignorance (of religion) will appear; and the drinking of alcoholic drinks will be very common, and (open) illegal sexual intercourse will prevail, and MEN WILL DECREASE IN NUMBER WHILE WOMEN WILL INCREASE SO MUCH SO THAT, FOR FIFTY WOMEN THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE MAN TO LOOK AFTER THEM."

KILL APOSTATES!

Narrated Abu Burda:

Abu Musa said, "I came to the Prophet along with two men (from the tribe) of Ash'ariyin, one on my right and the other on my left, while Allah's Apostle was brushing his teeth (with a Siwak), and both men asked him for some employment. The Prophet said, 'O Abu Musa (O 'Abdullah bin Qais!).' I said, 'By Him Who sent you with the Truth, these two men did not tell me what was in their hearts and I did not feel (realize) that they were seeking employment.' As if I were looking now at his Siwak being drawn to a corner under his lips, and he said, 'We never (or, we do not) appoint for our affairs anyone who seeks to be employed. But O Abu Musa! (or 'Abdullah bin Qais!) Go to Yemen.'" The Prophet then sent Mu'adh bin Jabal after him and when Mu'adh reached him, he spread out a cushion for him and requested him to get down (and sit on the cushion). Behold: There was a fettered man beside Abu Muisa. Mu'adh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu Muisa said, "HE WAS A JEW AND BECAME A MUSLIM AND THEN REVERTED BACK TO JUDAISM." Then Abu Muisa requested Mu'adh to sit down but Mu'adh said, "I WILL NOT SIT DOWN TILL HE HAS BEEN KILLED. THIS IS THE JUDGMENT OF ALLAH AND HIS APOSTLE (FOR SUCH CASES) AND REPEATED IT THRICE. THEN ABU MUSA ORDERED THAT THE MAN BE KILLED, AND HE WAS KILLED. Abu Musa added, "Then we discussed the night prayers and one of us said, 'I pray and sleep, and I hope that Allah will reward me for my sleep as well as for my prayers.'"

Narrated 'Ali:

Whenever I tell you a narration from Allah's Apostle, by Allah, I would rather fall down from the sky than ascribe a false statement to him, but if I tell you something between me and you (not a Hadith) then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "DURING THE LAST DAYS THERE WILL APPEAR SOME YOUNG FOOLISH PEOPLE who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and WILL GO OUT FROM (LEAVE) THEIR RELIGION AS AN ARROW GOES OUT OF THE GAME. SO, WHERE-EVER YOU FIND THEM, KILL THEM, FOR WHO-EVER KILLS THEM SHALL HAVE REWARD ON THE DAY OF RESURRECTION."

Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal:

AbuMusa said: Mu'adh came to me when I was in the Yemen. A MAN WHO WAS JEW EMBRACED ISLAM AND THEN RETREATED FROM ISLAM. WHEN MU'ADH CAME, HE SAID: I WILL NOT COME DOWN FROM MY MOUNT UNTIL HE IS KILLED. HE WAS THEN KILLED. One of them said: He was asked to repent before that.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE TO TAKE THE LIFE OF A MUSLIM who bears testimony (to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, BUT IN ONE OF THE THREE CASES: the married adulterer, a life for life, and THE DESERTER OF HIS DIN (ISLAM), abandoning the community.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood up and said: By Him besides Whom there is no god but He, THE BLOOD OF A MUSLIM who bears the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and I am His Messenger, MAY BE LAWFULLY SHED ONLY IN CASE OF THREE PERSONS: THE ONE WHO ABANDONS ISLAM, and deserts the community [Ahmad, one of the narrators, is doubtful whether the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) used the word li'l-jama'ah or al-jama'ah), and the married adulterer, and life for life.

Narrated 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "THE BLOOD OF A MUSLIM who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, CANNOT BE SHED EXCEPT IN THREE CASES: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and THE ONE WHO REVERTS FROM ISLAM (APOSTATE) AND LEAVES THE MUSLIMS."

DID ALLAH PREDESTINE ADAM TO EAT THE APPLE?

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other. MOSES SAID TO ADAM. 'O ADAM! YOU ARE OUR FATHER WHO DISAPPOINTED US AND TURNED US OUT OF PARADISE.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. DO YOU BLAME ME FOR ACTION WHICH ALLAH HAD WRITTEN IN MY FATE FORTY YEARS BEFORE MY CREATION?' So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet added, repeating the Statement three times.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'YOU ARE ADAM WHOSE MISTAKE EXPELLED YOU FROM PARADISE.' Adam said to him, 'YOU ARE MOSES WHOM ALLAH SELECTED AS HIS MESSENGER AND AS THE ONE TO WHOM HE SPOKE DIRECTLY; YET YOU BLAME ME FOR A THING WHICH HAD ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN IN MY FATE BEFORE MY CREATION?"' Allah's Apostle said twice, "So, Adam overpowered Moses."

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) as saying: There was argument between Adam and Moses. MOSES SAID TO ADAM: YOU ARE OUR FATHER. YOU DID US HARM AND CAUSED US TO GET OUT OF PARADISE. Adam said to him: You are Moses. Allah selected you (for direct conversation with you) and wrote with His own Hand the Book (Torah) for you. DESPITE THIS YOU BLAME ME FOR AN ACT WHICH ALLAH HAD ORDAINED FOR ME FORTY YEARS BEFORE HE CREATED ME. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: This is how Adam came the better of Moses and Adam came the better of Moses.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There was argument between Adam and Moses, and Adam came the better of Moses. Moses said to him: YOU ARE THE SAME ADAM WHO MISLED PEOPLE, AND CAUSED THEM TO GET OUT OF PARADISE. Adam said: You are the same (Moses) whom Allah endowed the knowledge of everything and selected him amongst the people as His Messenger. He said: Yes. Adam then again said: EVEN THEN YOU BLAME ME FOR AN AFFAIR WHICH HAD BEEN ORDAINED FOR ME BEFORE I WAS CREATED.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There was an argument between Adam and Moses (peace be upon both of them) in the presence of their Lord. Adam came the better of Moses. Moses said: ARE YOU THAT ADAM WHOM ALLAH CREATED WITH HIS HAND AND BREATHED INTO HIM HIS SPRIT, AND COMMANDED ANGELS TO FALL IN PROSTRATION BEFORE HIM AND HE MADE YOU LIVE IN PARADISE WITH COMFORT AND EASE. THEN YOU CAUSED THE PEOPLE TO GET DOWN TO THE EARTH BECAUSE OF YOUR LAPSE. Adam said: Are you that Moses whom Allah selected for His Messengership and for His conversation with him and conferred upon you the tablets, in which everything was clearly explained and granted you the audience in order to have confidential talk with you. What is your opinion, how long Torah would have been written before I was created? Moses said: Forty years before. Adam said: Did you not see these words: Adam committed an error and he was enticed to (do so). He (Moses) said: Yes. Whereupon, he (Adam) said: DO YOU THEN BLAME ME FOR AN ACT WHICH ALLAH HAD ORDAINED FOR ME FORTY YEARS BEFORE HE CREATED ME? Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: This is how Adam came the better of Moses.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There was an argument between Adam and Moses. Moses said: ARE YOU THAT ADAM WHOSE LAPSE CAUSED YOU TO GET OUT OF PARADISE? Adam said to him: ARE YOU THAT MOSES WHOM ALLAH SELECTED FOR HIS MESSENGERSHIP, FOR HIS CONVERSATION AND YOU BLAME ME FOR AN AFFAIR WHICH HAD BEEN ORDAINED FOR ME BEFORE I WAS CREATED? This is how Adam came the better of Moses.

NO MOHAWKS!

Note the hairstyles Muhmmad forbade 1400 years ago!

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) FORBADE QAZA' WHICH MEANS THAT THE HEAD OF A BOY IS SHAVED AND A LOCK IS LEFT.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) saw A BOY WITH PART OF HIS HEAD SHAVED AND PART LEFT UNSHAVEN. HE FORBADE THEM TO DO THAT, SAYING: SHAVE IT ALL OR LEAVE IT ALL.

DAMNED FOR USING BLACK DYE?

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: AT THE END OF TIME THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO WILL USE THIS BLACK DYE LIKE THE CROPS OF DOVES WHO WILL NOT EXPERIENCE THE FRAGRANCE OF PARADISE.

ANYONE WHO PERMITS SILK WILL BE TURNED INTO AN APE OR PIG?

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:

The Prophet of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) TOOK SILK AND HELD IT IN HIS RIGHT HAND, AND TOOK GOLD AND HELD IT IN HIS LEFT HAND AND SAID: BOTH OF THESE ARE PROHIBITED TO THE MALES OF MY COMMUNITY.

Then he made the following, more incredible announcement:

Narrated AbuAmir or AbuMalik:

AbdurRahman ibn Ghanam al-Ash'ari said: AbuAmir or AbuMalik told me--I swear by Allah another oath that he did not believe me that he heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: THERE WILL BE AMONG MY COMMUNITY PEOPLE WHO WILL MAKE LAWFUL (THE USE OF) KHAZZ AND SILK. SOME OF THEM WILL BE TRANSFORMED INTO APES AND SWINE.

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) FORBADE ME TO WEAR A GOLD RING, OR A QASSI GARMENT OR THE USE PURPLE SADDLE-CLOTHS.

CURE INSANITY JUST BY READING ONE SURAH OF QURAN?

Narrated Alaqah ibn Sahar at-Tamimi:

Alaqah came to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) and embraced Islam. HE THEN CAME BACK FROM HIM AND PASSED SOME PEOPLE WHO HAD A LUNATIC FETTERED IN CHAINS.

His people said: We are told that your companion has brought some good. Have you something with which you can cure him? I THEN RECITED SURAT AL-FATIHAH [QURAN, SURAH 1] AND HE WAS CURED. They gave me one hundred sheep. I then came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and informed him of it.

He asked: Is it only this? The narrator, Musaddad, said in his other version: Did you say anything other than this? I said: No. He said: Take it, for by my life, some accept if for a worthless chain, but you have done so for a genuine one.

YOU CAN’T PAY MONEY FOR A CAT?

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

THE PROPHET (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) FORBADE PAYMENT FOR CAT.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

THE PROPHET (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) FORBADE PAYMENT FOR DOG AND CAT.

CALISTOGA, AVIAN, YOU’RE OUTTA BUSINESS!

Narrated Iyas ibn Abd:

THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) FORBADE THE SALE OF EXCESS WATER.

BELEIVERS’ GRAVES EXPAND TO 70 CUBITS?

Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) having said: When the servant is placed in his grave and his companions retrace their steps arid he hears the noise of the footsteps, then two angels come to him and make him sit and say to him: What you have to say about this person (the Holy Prophet)? If he is d believer, lie would say: I bear testimony to the fact that he is a servant of Allali and His Messenger. Then it would be said to him: Look to your seat in the Hell- Fire, for Allah has substituted (the seat of yours) with a seat in Paradise. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He would be shown both the seats. Qatada said: IT WAS MENTIONED TO US THAT HIS GRAVE (THE GRAVE OF A BELIEVER) EXPANDS TO SEVENTY CUBITS and is full with verdure until the Day when they would be resurrected.

Has ANY gravedigger seen proof of this? OF COURSE NOT!

NINE-TENTHS OF SORCERY IS IN IRAQ?

Malik related to me that he heard that UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB WANTED TO GO TO IRAQ, and Kabal-Ahbar said to him, "Do not go there, amir al-muminin. THERE IS NINE-TENTHS OF SORCERY THERE and it is the place of the rebellious jinn and the disease which the doctors are unable to cure."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn al-Musayyab said, "THE BLOOD-MONEY FOR A WOMAN IS THE SAME AS FOR A MAN UP TO ONE THIRD OF THE BLOOD-MONEY. Her finger is like his finger, her tooth is like his tooth, her injury which lays bare the bone is like his, and her head wound which splinters the bone is like his."

Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab and also Urwa ibn az-Zubayr said the same as SAID IBN AL-MUSAYYAB SAID ABOUT A WOMAN. HER BLOOD-MONEY FROM A MAN IS THE SAME UP TO A THIRD OF THE BLOOD-MONEY OF A MAN. If what she is owed exceeds a third of the blood-money of the man, she is given up to half of the blood-money of a man.

Malik said, "The explanation of that is that she has blood-money for a head wound that lays bare the bone and one that splinters the bone and for what is less than the brain wound and the belly wound and the like of that of those which obliges a third of the blood-money or more. If the amount owed her exceeds that, her blood-money in that is half of the blood-money of a man."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard Ibn Shihab say, "The precedent of the sunna when a man injures a woman is that he must pay the blood-money for that injury and there is no retaliation against him."

Malik said, "That is an accidental injury, when a man strikes a woman and hits with a blow what he did not intend, for instance, if he struck her with a whip and cut her eye open and the like of that."

Malik said about a woman who has a husband and children who are not from her paternal relatives or her people, that since he is from another tribe, there is no blood-money against her husband for her criminal action, nor any against her children if they are not from her people, nor any against her maternal brothers when they are not from her paternal relations or her people. These are entitled to her inheritance but only the paternal relations have paid blood-money from since the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Until today it is like that with the mawla of a woman. The inheritance they leave goes to the children of the woman even if they are not from her tribe, but the blood-money of the criminal act of the mawla is only against her tribe."

LIFE OF CHRISTIAN OR JEW IS WORTH ½ LIFE OF A MUSLIM!

Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz gave a decision that WHEN A JEW OR CHRISTIAN WAS KILLED, HIS BLOOD-MONEY WAS HALF THE BLOOD-MONEY OF A FREE MUSLIM.

Malik said, "What is done in our community, is that a muslim is not killed for a kafir unless the muslim kills him by deceit. Then he is killed for it."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Sulayman ibn Yasar said, "The blood-money of a magian is eight hundred dirhams."

Malik said, "This is what is done in our community."

Malik said, "The blood-monies of the jew, christian, and magian in their injuries, is according to the injury of the muslims in their blood-moneys. The head wound is a twentieth of his full blood-money. The wound that opens the head is a third of his blood-money. The belly-wound is a third of his blood-money. All their injuries are according to this calculation."

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:

The value of the blood-money at the time of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was eight hundred dinars or eight thousand dirhams, and THE BLOOD-MONEY FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK WAS HALF OF THAT FOR MUSLIMS.

He said: This applied till Umar (Allah be pleased with him) became caliph and he made a speech in which he said: Take note! Camels have become dear. So Umar fixed the value for those who possessed gold at one thousand dinars, for those who possessed silver at twelve thousand (dirhams), for those who possessed cattle at two hundred cows, for those who possessed sheep at two thousand sheep, and for those who possessed suits of clothing at two hundred suits. He left the blood-money for dhimmis (protected people) as it was, not raising it in proportion to the increase he made in the blood-wit.

PARDONING OF MURDERERS IS UP TO MALE RELATIVES!

Yahya related to me from Malik that he saw whomever he was satisfied with among the people of knowledge say about a man who willed that his murderer be pardoned when he murdered him intentionally, "That is permitted for him. He is more entitled to the man's blood than any of his relatives after him."

Malik said about a man who pardoned murder, after he had claimed his right and it was obliged for him, "There is no blood-money against the murderer unless the one who pardons him stipulates that when he pardons him."

Malik said about the murderer when he was pardoned, "He is flogged one hundred lashes and jailed for a year."

Malik said, "WHEN A MAN MURDERS INTENTIONALLY AND THERE IS A CLEAR PROOF OF THAT, AND THE MURDERED MAN HAS SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND THE SONS PARDON AND THE DAUGHTERS REFUSE TO PARDON, THE PARDON OF THE SONS IS PERMITTED IN OPPOSITION TO THE DAUGHTERS AND THERE IS NO AUTHORITY FOR THE DAUGHTERS WITH THE SONS IN DEMANDING BLOOD AND PARDONING."

HEAVEN IS CLOSED EXCEPT ON MONDAY AND THURSDAY!

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: THE GATES OF PARADISE ARE NOT OPENED BUT ON TWO DAYS, MONDAY AND THURSDAY. and then every servant (of Allah) is granted pardon who does not associate anything with Allah except the person in whose (heart) there is rancour against his brother. And it would be said: Look towards both of them until there is reconciliation; look toward both of them until there is reconciliation; look towards both of them until there is reconciliation. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Suhail who narrated it on the authority of his father with the chain of transmitters of MaIik, but with this variation of wording:, (Those would not be granted pardon) who boycott each other."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "WHEN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN STARTS, THE GATES OF THE HEAVEN ARE OPENED AND THE GATES OF HELL ARE CLOSED AND THE DEVILS ARE CHAINED."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "WHEN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN COMES, THE GATES OF PARADISE ARE OPENED AND THE GATES OF THE (HELL) FIRE ARE CLOSED, AND THE DEVILS ARE CHAINED."

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: WHEN THERE COMES THE MONTH OF RAMADAN, THE GATES OF MERCY ARE OPENED, AND THE GATES OF HELL ARE LOCKED AND THE DEVILS ARE CHAINED.

Abu Huraira reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: WHEN A BONDSMAN-A MUSLIM OR A BELIEVER-WASHES HIS FACE (IN COURSE OF ABLUTION), EVERY SIN HE CONTEMPLATED WITH HIS EYES, WILL BE WASHED AWAY FROM HIS FACE ALONG WITH WATER, OR WITH THE LAST DROP OF WATER; WHEN HE WASHES HIS HANDS, EVERY SIN THEY WROUGHT WILL BE EFFACED FROM HIS HANDS WITH THE WATER, OR WITH THE LAST DROP OF WATER; AND WHEN HE WASHES HIS FEET, EVERY SIN TOWARDS WHICH HIS FEET HAVE WALKED WILL BE WASHED AWAY WITH THE WATER OR WITH THE LAST DROP OF WATER WITH THE RESULT THAT HE COMES OUT PURE FROM ALL SINS.

Uthman b. 'Affan reported: The Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) said: HE WHO PERFORMED ABLUTION WELL, HIS SINS WOULD COME OUT FROM HIS BODY, EVEN COMING OUT FROM UNDER HIS NAILS.

Zaid b Thabit reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say this: ABLUTION IS OBLIGATORY (FOR ONE WHO TAKES ANYTHING) TOUCHED BY FIRE.

'Abdullah b. Ibrahim b. Qariz reported that he found Abu Huraira performing ablution in the mosque, who said: I am performing ablution because of having eaten pieces of cheese, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: PERFORM ABLUTION (AFTER EATING ANYTHING) TOUCHED BY FIRE.

'Urwa reported on the authority of'A'isha, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), saying this: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said. PERFORM ABLUTION (AFTER EATING) ANYTHING TOUCHED BY FIRE.

MUHAMMAD WAS FORGIVEN HIS FUTURE SINS IN ADVANCE?

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "On the Day of Resurrection the Believers will assemble and say, 'Let us ask somebody to intercede for us with our Lord.' So they will go to Adam and say, 'You are the father of all the people, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things; so please intercede for us with your Lord, so that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this (i.e. intercession for you).' Then Adam will remember his sin and feel ashamed thereof. He will say, 'Go to Noah, for he was the first Apostle, Allah sent to the inhabitants of the earth.' They will go to him and Noah will say,

'I am not fit for this undertaking.' He will remember his appeal to his Lord to do what he had no knowledge of, then he will feel ashamed thereof and will say, 'Go to the Khalil--r-Rahman (i.e. Abraham).' They will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. Go to Moses, the slave to whom Allah spoke (directly) and gave him the Torah .' So they will go to him and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.' and he will mention (his) killing a person who was not a killer, and so he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord, and he will say, 'Go to Jesus, Allah's Slave, His Apostle and Allah's Word and a Spirit coming from Him. Jesus will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, go to MUHAMMAD THE SLAVE OF ALLAH WHOSE PAST AND FUTURE SINS WERE FORGIVEN BY ALLAH.' So they will come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my Lord's Permission and I will be given permission. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in Prostration and He will let me remain in that state as long as He wishes and then I will be addressed.' (Muhammad!) Raise your head. Ask, and your request will be granted; say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise my head and praise Allah with a saying (i.e. invocation) He will teach me, and then I will intercede. He will fix a limit for me (to intercede for) whom I will admit into Paradise. Then I will come back again to Allah, and when I see my Lord, the same thing will happen to me. And then I will intercede and Allah will fix a limit for me to intercede whom I will let into Paradise, then I will come back for the third time; and then I will come back for the fourth time, and will say, 'None remains in Hell but those whom the Quran has imprisoned (in Hell) and who have been destined to an eternal stay in Hell.' " (The compiler) Abu 'Abdullah said: 'But those whom the Qur'an has imprisoned in Hell,' refers to the Statement of Allah:

"They will dwell therein forever." (16.29)

THE WOMAN-BEATING COMPANIONS OF MUHAMMAD!

Hear how Abu Bakr beat Aisha, and Umar beat Hafsa!

Narrated Aisha:

ABU BAKR CAME TO TOWARDS ME AND STRUCK ME VIOLENTLY WITH HIS FIST and said, "You have detained the people because of your necklace." But I remained motionless as if I was dead lest I should awake Allah's Apostle although that hit was very painful.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) came and sought permission to see Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He found people sitting at his door and none amongst them had been granted permission, but it was granted to Abu Bakr and he went in. Then came 'Umar and he sought permission and it was granted to him, and he found Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) sitting sad and silent with his wives around him. He (Hadrat 'Umar) said: I would say something which would make the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) laugh, so he said: Messenger of Allah, I wish you had seen (the treatment meted out to) the daughter of Khadija when you asked me some money, and I got up and slapped her on her neck. Allah's Messenger (mav peace be upon him) laughed and said: They are around me as you see, asking for extra money. ABU BAKR (ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM) THEN GOT UP WENT TO 'A'ISHA (ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HER) AND SLAPPED HER ON THE NECK, AND 'UMAR STOOD UP BEFORE HAFSA AND SLAPPED HER SAYING: You ask Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) which he does not possess. They said: By Allah, we do not ask Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) for anything he does not possess. Then he withdrew from them for a month or for twenty-nine days. Then this verse was revealed to him:" Prophet: Say to thy wives... for a mighty reward" (xxxiii. 28). He then went first to 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) and said: I want to propound something to you, 'A'isha, but wish no hasty reply before you consult your parents. She said: Messenger of Allah, what is that? He (the Holy Prophet) recited to her the verse, whereupon she said: Is it about you that I should consult my parents, Messenger of Allah? Nay, I choose Allah, His Messenger, and the Last Abode; but I ask you not to tell any of your wives what I have said He replied: Not one of them will ask me without my informing her. God did not send me to be harsh, or cause harm, but He has sent me to teach and make things easy.

THE WIFE OF THE PROPHET WHO WAS SO YOUNG SHE WAS PLAYING WITH DOLLS!

Narrated 'AISHA:

I USED TO PLAY WITH THE DOLLS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PROPHET, AND MY GIRL FRIENDS ALSO USED TO PLAY WITH ME. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13)

Narrated AISHA, Ummul Mu'minin:

When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) arrived after the expedition to Tabuk or Khaybar (the narrator is doubtful), the draught raised an end of a curtain which was hung in front of her store-room, REVEALING SOME DOLLS WHICH BELONGED TO HER.

HE ASKED: WHAT IS THIS? SHE REPLIED: MY DOLLS. Among them he saw a horse with wings made of rags, and asked: What is this I see among them? She replied: A horse. He asked: What is this that it has on it? She replied: Two wings. He asked: A horse with two wings? She replied: Have you not heard that Solomon had horses with wings? She said: Thereupon the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) laughed so heartily that I could see his molar teeth.

ALLAH LOVES ODD NUMBERS?

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e., one hundred minus one, and whoever believes in their meanings and acts accordingly, will enter Paradise; and ALLAH IS WITR (ONE) AND LOVES 'THE WITR' (I.E., ODD NUMBERS).

Narrated Abu Dhar:

The Muadhdhin (call-maker) of the Prophet pronounced the Adhan (call) for the Zuhr prayer but the Prophet said, "Let it be cooler, let it be cooler." Or said, 'Wait, wait, because THE SEVERITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE RAGING OF THE HELL-FIRE. In severe hot weather, pray when it becomes (a bit) cooler and the shadows of hillocks appear."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "IN VERY HOT WEATHER DELAY THE ZUHR PRAYER TILL IT BECOMES (A BIT) COOLER BECAUSE THE SEVERITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE RAGING OF HELL-FIRE. The Hell-fire of Hell complained to its Lord saying: O Lord! My parts are eating (destroying) one another. So ALLAH ALLOWED IT TO TAKE TWO BREATHS, ONE IN THE WINTER AND THE OTHER IN THE SUMMER. THE BREATH IN THE SUMMER IS AT THE TIME WHEN YOU FEEL THE SEVEREST HEAT AND THE BREATH IN THE WINTER IS AT THE TIME WHEN YOU FEEL THE SEVEREST COLD."

Narrated Abu Sa'id: that Allah's Apostle said, "Pray Zuhr prayer when it becomes (a bit) cooler as THE SEVERITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE RAGING OF THE HELL-FIRE."

Narrated Abu Dhar Al-Ghifar:

We were with the Prophet on a journey and the Mu'adhdhin (call maker for the prayer) wanted to pronounce the Adhan (call) for the Zuhr prayer. The Prophet said, 'Let it become cooler." He again (after a while) wanted to pronounce the Adhan but the Prophet said to him, "Let it become cooler till we see the shadows of hillocks." The Prophet added, "THE SEVERITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE RAGING OF THE HELL-FIRE, and in very hot weather pray (Zuhr) when it becomes cooler."

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: When it is very hot, say (the noon prayer) when the extreme heat passes away, for INTENSITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE EXHALATION OF HELL.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When it is a hot day, (delay) the prayer till the extreme heat passes away, for THE INTENSITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE EXHALATION OF HELL.

Abu Huraira reported: Refrain from saying (the noon prayer) till the extreme heat passes away, for THE INTENSITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE EXHALATION OF HELL.

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: THIS HEAT IS FROM THE EXHALATION OF HELL-FIRE, SO DELAY THE PRAYER TILL IT IS COOL.

Hammam b. Munabbih reported: This is what Abu Huraira narrated to us from the Holy Prophet and he transmitted some ahadith-one of them was that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Let the heat become less severe before prayer, for THE INTENSITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE EXHALATION OF HELL.

Abu Dharr reported: The Mu'adhdbin (the announcer of the hour of prayer) of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) called for the noon prayer. Upon this the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Let it cool down, let it cool down, or he said: Wait, wait for THE INTENSITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE EXHALATION OF HELL. When the heat is intense, delay the prayer till it becomes cooler. Abu Dharr said: (We waited) till we saw the shadow of the mounds.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The Fire made a complaint before the Lord saying." O Lord, some parts of mine have consumed the others." SO IT WAS ALLOWED TO TAKE TWO EXHALATIONS, ONE EXHALATION IN WINTER AND THE OTHER EXHALATION IN SUMMER. THAT IS WHY YOU FIND EXTREME HEAT (IN SUMMER) AND EXTREME COLD (IN WINTER).

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: WHEN IT IS HOT, MAKE DELAY (IN THE NOON PRAYER) TILL IT COOLS DOWN, FOR THE INTENSITY OF HEAT IS FROM THE EXHALATION OF HELL; and lie also mentioned that the Hellfire complained to the Lord (about the congested atmosphere) and so it was permitted to take two exhalation during the whole year, one exhalation during the winter and one exhalation during the summer.

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The Fire said to the Lord: O Lord! some parts of mine have consumed the others, so allow me to exhale (in order to find some relief from this congestion). It was granted permission to take two exhalations, one exhalation during the winter and the other exhalation during the summer SO WHATEVER YOU PERCEIVE IN THE FORM OF INTENSE COLD OR HURTING COLD IS FROM THE EXHALATION OF HELL. AND WHATEVER YOU PERCEIVE IN THE FORM OF EXTREME HEAT OR INTENSE BEAT IS FROM THE EXHALATION OF HELL.

Malik, Book 1, Number 1.7.28:

Malik related to us from Abdullah ibn Yazid the mawla of al-Aswad ibn Sufyan, from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman from Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Thawban from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "WHEN THE HEAT IS FIERCE DELAY THE PRAYER UNTIL IT GETS COOLER, FOR SCORCHING HEAT IS A PART OF THE BLAST OF JAHANNAM."

He added, "THE FIRE COMPLAINED TO ITS LORD, SO HE ALLOWED IT TWO BREATHS IN EACH YEAR, A BREATH IN WINTER AND A BREATH IN SUMMER."

WIFE BEATING IS OK?

The Quran Says:

YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) BEAT THEM (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).

PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and SCOURGE THEM. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

SHAKIR: Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and BEAT THEM; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html [Words in parenthesis were NOT IN THE ARABIC - but were ADDED bythe translators!]

Even HADITH-REJECTOR Rashad Khalifa admitted that the Quran authorizes wife-beating:

[4:34] . . . If you experience rebellion from the women, you shall first talk to them, then (you may use negative incentives like) deserting them in bed, then you may (as a last alternative) BEAT THEM. . . .

http://www.submission.org/suras/sura4.htm [Words in parenthesis were NOT IN THE ARABIC - but were ADDED by Khalifa!]

The hadith literature fully endorses wife-beating:

Narrated Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab:

Iyas ibn Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab reported the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: Do not beat Allah's handmaidens, but when Umar came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and said: WOMEN HAVE BECOME EMBOLDENED TOWARDS THEIR HUSBANDS, HE (THE PROPHET) GAVE PERMISSION TO BEAT THEM. Then many women came round the family of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) complaining against their husbands. So the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Many women have gone round Muhammad's family complaining against their husbands. They are not the best among you.

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A MAN WILL NOT BE ASKED AS TO WHY HE BEAT HIS WIFE.

CUT OFF HANDS OF THIEVES?

The Quran Says:

YUSUFALI: AS TO THE THIEF, MALE OR FEMALE, CUT OFF HIS OR HER HANDS: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in power.

PICKTHAL: AS FOR THE THIEF, BOTH MALE AND FEMALE, CUT OFF THEIR HANDS. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise.

SHAKIR: AND (AS FOR) THE MAN WHO STEALS AND THE WOMAN WHO STEALS, CUT OFF THEIR HANDS AS A PUNISHMENT for what they have earned, an exemplary punishment from Allah; and Allah is Mighty, Wise

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/005.qmt.html

Even hadith-rejector Rashad Khalifa admitted in his 1980 Quran translation that the Quran says:

[5:38]: THE THIEF, MALE OR FEMALE, SHALL BE PUNISHED BY CUTTING THEIR HANDS AS A PUNISHMENT FOR THEIR CRIME, as well as a deterrent from God. God is almighty, wise.

Rashad Khalifa Translation (1^st Edition).

The hadith literature agrees in prescribing amputation as a penalty for theft:

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) CUT OFF THE HAND OF A THIEF for a quarter of a dinar and upwards.

Ibn 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace upon him) CUT OFF THE HAND OF A THIEF (in case of the theft) of a shield the price of which was three dirhams.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: LET THERE BE THE CURSE OF ALLAH UPON THE THIEF WHO STEALS AN EGG AND HIS HAND IS CUT OFF, AND STEALS A ROPE AND HIS HAND IS CUT OFF.

'A'isha reported that the Quraish had been anxious about the Makhzumi woman who had committed theft, and said: Who will speak to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about her? They said: Who dare it, but Usama, the loved one of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)? So Usama spoke to him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Do you intercede regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah? He then stood up and addressed (people) saying: O people, those who have gone before you were destroyed, because if any one of high rank committed theft amongst them, they spared him; and it anyone of low rank committed theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment upon him. BY ALLAH, IF FATIMA, DAUGHTER OF MUHAMMAD, WERE TO STEAL, I WOULD HAVE HER HAND CUT OFF. In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Ibn Rumh (the words are):" Verily those before you perished."

'A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), reported that the Quraish were concerned about the woman who had committed theft during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), in the expedition of Victory (of Mecca). They said: Who would speak to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about her? They (again) said: Who can dare do this but Usama b Zaid, the loved one of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)? She was brought to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and Usama b. Zaid spoke about her to him (interceded on her behalf). The colour of the face of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) changed, and he said: Do you intercede in one of the prescribed punishments of Allah? He (Usama) said: 'Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me. When it was dusk. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood up and gave an address. He (first) glorified Allah as He deserves, and then said: Now to our topic. This (injustice) destroyed those before you that when any one of (high) rank committed theft among them, they spared him, and when any weak one among them committed theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment upon him. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, EVEN IF FATIMA DAUGHTER OF MUHAMMAD WERE TO COMMIT THEFT, I WOULD HAVE CUT OFF HER HAND. HE (THE HOLY PROPHET) THEN COMMANDED ABOUT THAT WOMAN WHO HAD COMMITTED THEFT, AND HER HAND WAS CUT OFF. 'A'isha (further) said: Hers was a good respentance, and she later on married and used to come to me after that, and I conveyed her needs (and problems) to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).

'A'isha reported that A WOMAN FROM THE TRIBE OF MAKHZUM USED TO BORROW THINGS (FROM PEOPLE) AND THEN DENIED (HAVING TAKEN THEM). ALLAH'S APOSTLE (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) COMMANDED HER HAND TO BE CUT OFF. Her relatives came to Usama b. Zaid and spoke to him (requesting him to intercede on her behalf). He spoke to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about her. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Jaibir reported that a woman from the tribe of Makhzum committed theft. She was brought to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and she sought refuge (intercession) from Umm Salama, the wife of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him). Thereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: By Allah, EVEN IF SHE WERE FATIMA, I WOULD HAVE HER HAND CUT OFF. AND THUS HER HAND WAS CUT OFF.

Narrated 'Aisha:

Usama approached the Prophet on behalf of a woman (who had committed theft). The Prophet said, "The people before you were destroyed because they used to inflict the legal punishments on the poor and forgive the rich. By Him in Whose Hand my soul is! If FATIMA (THE DAUGHTER OF THE PROPHET ) DID THAT (I.E. STOLE), I WOULD CUT OFF HER HAND."

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Quraish people became very worried about the Makhzumiya lady who had committed theft. They said, "Nobody can speak (in favor of the lady) to Allah's Apostle and nobody dares do that except Usama who is the favorite of Allah's Apostle. " When Usama spoke to Allah's Apostle about that matter, Allah's Apostle said, "Do you intercede (with me) to violate one of the legal punishment of Allah?" Then he got up and addressed the people, saying, "O people! The nations before you went astray because if a noble person committed theft, they used to leave him, but if a weak person among them committed theft, they used to inflict the legal punishment on him. BY ALLAH, IF FATIMA, THE DAUGHTER OF MUHAMMAD COMMITTED THEFT, MUHAMMAD WILL CUT OFF HER HAND.!"

FIGHT NON MUSLIMS UNTIL THEY CONVERT TO ISLAM OR PAY TRIBUTE?

YUSUFALI: BUT WHEN THE FORBIDDEN MONTHS ARE PAST, THEN FIGHT AND SLAY THE PAGANS WHEREVER YE FIND THEM, AN SEIZE THEM, BELEAGUER THEM, AND LIE IN WAIT FOR THEM IN EVERY STRATAGEM (OF WAR); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.

PICKTHAL: Then, WHEN THE SACRED MONTHS HAVE PASSED, SLAY THE IDOLATERS WHEREVER YE FIND THEM, AND TAKE THEM (CAPTIVE), AND BESIEGE THEM, AND PREPARE FOR THEM EACH AMBUSH. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

SHAKIR: SO WHEN THE SACRED MONTHS HAVE PASSED AWAY, THEN SLAY THE IDOLATERS WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM, AND TAKE THEM CAPTIVES AND BESIEGE THEM AND LIE IN WAIT FOR THEM IN EVERY AMBUSH, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Narrated Jubair bin Haiya:

'Umar sent the Muslims to the great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-Hurmuzan embraced Islam, 'Umar said to him. "I would like to consult you regarding these countries which I intend to invade." Al-Hurmuzan said, "Yes, the example of these countries and their inhabitants who are the enemies. of the Muslims, is like a bird with a head, two wings and two legs; If one of its wings got broken, it would get up over its two legs, with one wing and the head; and if the other wing got broken, it would get up with two legs and a head, but if its head got destroyed, then the two legs, two wings and the head would become useless. The head stands for Khosrau, and one wing stands for Caesar and the other wing stands for Faris. So, order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau." So, 'Umar sent us (to Khosrau) appointing An-Numan bin Muqrin as our commander. When we reached the land of the enemy, the representative of Khosrau came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an interpreter got up saying, "Let one of you talk to me!" Al-Mughira replied, "Ask whatever you wish." The other asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied, "We are some people from the Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to suck the hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made up of fur of camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones. While we were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths, Elevated is His Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from among ourselves a Prophet whose father and mother are known to us. OUR PROPHET, THE MESSENGER OF OUR LORD, HAS ORDERED US TO FIGHT YOU TILL YOU WORSHIP ALLAH ALONE OR GIVE JIZYA (I.E. TRIBUTE); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master." (Al-Mughira, then blamed An-Numan for delaying the attack and) An-Nu' man said to Al-Mughira, "If you had participated in a similar battle, in the company of Allah's Apostle he would not have blamed you for waiting, nor would he have disgraced you. But I accompanied Allah's Apostle in many battles and it was his custom that if he did not fight early by daytime, he would wait till the wind had started blowing and the time for the prayer was due (i.e. after midday)."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

When the Prophet died and Abu Bakr became his successor and some of the Arabs reverted to disbelief, 'Umar said, "O Abu Bakr! How can you fight these people although ALLAH'S APOSTLE SAID, 'I HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO FIGHT THE PEOPLE TILL THEY SAY: 'NONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPPED BUT ALLAH, 'and whoever said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', Allah will save his property and his life from me, unless (he does something for which he receives legal punishment) justly, and his account will be with Allah?' "Abu Bakr said, "By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between prayers and Zakat as Zakat is the right to be taken from property (according to Allah's Orders). By Allah! If they refused to pay me even a kid they used to pay to Allah's Apostle, I would fight with them for withholding it." 'Umar said, "By Allah: It was nothing, but I noticed that Allah opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision to fight, therefore I realized that his decision was right

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) breathed his last and Abu Bakr was appointed as his successor (Caliph), those amongst the Arabs who wanted to become apostates became apostates. 'Umar b. Khattab said to Abu Bakr: Why would you fight against the people, when the Messenger of Allah declared: I HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO FIGHT AGAINST PEOPLE SO LONG AS THEY DO NOT SAY: THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH, and he who professed it was granted full protection of his property and life on my behalf except for a right? His (other) affairs rest with Allah. Upon this Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I would definitely fight against him who severed prayer from Zakat, for it is the obligation upon the rich. By Allah, I would fight against them even to secure the cord (used for hobbling the feet of a camel) which they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (as zakat) but now they have withheld it. Umar b. Khattab remarked: By Allah, I found nothing but the fact that Allah had opened the heart of Abu Bakr for (perceiving the justification of) fighting (against those who refused to pay Zakat) and I fully recognized that the (stand of Abu Bakr) was right.

It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah said: I HAVE BEEN COMMANDED TO FIGHT AGAINST PEOPLE SO LONG AS THEY DO NOT DECLARE THAT THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah.

It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: I HAVE BEEN COMMANDED TO FIGHT AGAINST PEOPLE, TILL THEY TESTIFY TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH, AND BELIEVE IN ME (THAT) I AM THE MESSENGER (FROM THE LORD) AND IN ALL THAT I HAVE BROUGHT. And when they do it, their blood and riches are guaranteed protection on my behalf except where it is justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah.

It is narrated on the authority of Jabir that the Messenger of Allah said: I HAVE BEEN COMMANDED THAT I SHOULD FIGHT AGAINST PEOPLE TILL THEY DECLARE THAT THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH, AND WHEN THEY PROFESS IT THAT THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH, their blood and riches are guaranteed protection on my behalf except where it is justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah, and then he (the Holy Prophet) recited (this verse of the Holy Qur'an):" Thou art not over them a warden" (lxxxviii, 22).

It has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah said: I HAVE BEEN COMMANDED TO FIGHT AGAINST PEOPLE TILL THEY TESTIFY THAT THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH, THAT MUHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH, AND THEY ESTABLISH PRAYER, AND PAY ZAKAT and if they do it, their blood and property are guaranteed protection on my behalf except when justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah.

MUSLIMS HAVE RIGHT TO TAKE PROPERTY OF NON-MUSLIMS?

Narrated Abu Huraira:

While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet came out and said, "Let us go to the Jews" We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, "IF YOU EMBRACE ISLAM, YOU WILL BE SAFE. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE EARTH BELONGS TO ALLAH AND HIS APOSTLE, AND I WANT TO EXPEL YOU FROM THIS LAND. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."

Narrated Jarir:

In the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance THERE WAS A HOUSE CALLED DHU-L-KHALASA OR AL-KA'BA AL-YAMANIYA OR AL-KA'BA ASH-SHAMIYA. The Prophet said to me, "Won't you relieve me from Dhu-l-Khalasa?" SO I SET OUT WITH ONE-HUNDRED-AND-FIFTY RIDERS, AND WE DISMANTLED IT AND KILLED WHOEVER WAS PRESENT THERE. THEN I CAME TO THE PROPHET AND INFORMED HIM, AND HE INVOKED GOOD UPON US AND AL-AHMAS (TRIBE)

Narrated Jarir bin 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle has never refused to admit me since I embraced Islam, and whenever he saw me, he would smile. (In another narration) Jarir bin 'Abdullah narrated: THERE WAS A HOUSE CALLED DHUL-KHALASA IN THE PRE-LSLAMIC PERIOD AND IT WAS ALSO CALLED AL-KA'BA AL-YAMANIYA OR AL-KA'BA ASH-SHAMIYA. ALLAH'S APOSTLE SAID TO ME, "WILL YOU RELIEVE ME FROM DHUL-KHALASA?" SO I LEFT FOR IT WITH 150 CAVALRYMEN FROM THE TRIBE OF AHMAS AND THEN WE DESTROYED IT AND KILLED WHOEVER WE FOUND THERE. THEN WE CAME TO THE PROPHET AND INFORMED HIM ABOUT IT. HE INVOKED GOOD UPON US AND UPON THE TRIBE OF AHMAS.
