Narrations about Ibn 'Abbas رضي الله عنهما
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Once the Prophet (ﷺ) embraced me (pressed me to his chest) and said, "O Allah, teach him wisdom (i.e.
the understanding of the knowledge of Qur'an).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ ضَمَّنِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ عَلِّمْهُ الْحِكْمَةَ
Narrations about Ibn 'Abbas رضي الله عنهما
Narrated 'Abdul Warith:
The same but said, "O Allah, teach him (Ibn Abbas) the Book (i.e. the
understanding of the knowledge of Qur'an)."
Narrated Khalid:
As above.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ وَقَالَ عَلِّمْهُ الْكِتَابَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ مِثْلَهُ وَالْحِكْمَةُ الْإِصَابَةُ فِي غَيْرِ النُّبُوَّةِ
The merits of Khalid bin Al-Walid رضي الله عنه
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) had informed the people about the death of Zaid, Ja`far and Ibn Rawaha before the news
of their death reached them. He said with his eyes flowing with tears, "Zaid took the flag and was
martyred; then Ja`far took the flag and was martyred, and then Ibn Rawaha took the flag and was
martyred. Finally the flag was taken by one of Allah's Swords (i.e. Khalid bin Al-Walid) and Allah
gave them (i.e. the Muslims) victory."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَعَى زَيْدًا وَجَعْفَرًا وَابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ لِلنَّاسِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُمْ خَبَرُهُمْ فَقَالَ أَخَذَ الرَّايَةَ زَيْدٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَعْفَرٌ فَأُصِيبَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ابْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَأُصِيبَ ـ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ ـ حَتَّى أَخَذَ سَيْفٌ مِنْ سُيُوفِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ
The merits of Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa رضي الله عنه
Narrated Masruq:
`Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) was mentioned before `Abdullah bin `Amr. The latter said, "That is a man I
continue to love because I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, ' Learn the recitation of the Qur'an from (any
of these) four persons: `Abdullah bin Masud, Salim the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa, Ubai bin Ka`b,
and Mu`adh bin Jabal." I do not remember whether he mentioned Ubai first or Mu`adh.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ ذُكِرَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَقَالَ ذَاكَ رَجُلٌ لاَ أَزَالُ أُحِبُّهُ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ اسْتَقْرِئُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَبَدَأَ بِهِ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ لاَ أَدْرِي بَدَأَ بِأُبَىٍّ أَوْ بِمُعَاذٍ
The merits of 'Abdullah bin Mas’ud رضي الله عنه
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) neither talked in an insulting manner nor did he ever speak evil intentionally. He used
to say, "The most beloved to me amongst you is the one who has the best character and manners." He
added, " Learn the Qur'an from (any of these) four persons. `Abdullah bin Mas`ud, Salim the freed
slave of Abu Hudhaifa, Ubai bin Ka`b, and Mu`adh bin Jabal."
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَسْرُوقًا قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمْ يَكُنْ فَاحِشًا وَلاَ مُتَفَحِّشًا وَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ أَحَبِّكُمْ إِلَىَّ أَحْسَنَكُمْ أَخْلاَقًا وَقَالَ اسْتَقْرِئُوا الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَسَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ
The merits of 'Abdullah bin Mas’ud رضي الله عنه
Narrated Alqama:
I went to Sham and was offering a two-rak`at prayer; I said, "O Allah! Bless me with a (pious)
companion." Then I saw an old man coming towards me, and when he came near I said, (to myself),
"I hope Allah has given me my request." The man asked (me), "Where are you from?" I replied, "I am
from the people of Kufa." He said, "Weren't there amongst you the Carrier of the (Prophet's) shoes,
Siwak and the ablution water container? Weren't there amongst you the man who was given Allah's
Refuge from the Satan? And weren't there amongst you the man who used to keep the (Prophet's)
secrets which nobody else knew? How did Ibn Um `Abd (i.e. `Abdullah bin Mas`ud) use to recite
Surat-al-lail (the Night:92)?" I recited:--
"By the Night as it envelops By the Day as it appears in brightness. And by male and female." (92.1-
3) On that, Abu Darda said, "By Allah, the Prophet (ﷺ) made me read the Verse in this way after listening
to him, but these people (of Sham) tried their best to let me say something different."
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ دَخَلْتُ الشَّأْمَ فَصَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ يَسِّرْ لِي جَلِيسًا فَرَأَيْتُ شَيْخًا مُقْبِلاً فَلَمَّا دَنَا قُلْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ اسْتَجَابَ قَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ أَفَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيكُمْ صَاحِبُ النَّعْلَيْنِ وَالْوِسَادِ وَالْمِطْهَرَةِ أَوَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيكُمُ الَّذِي أُجِيرَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ أَوَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيكُمْ صَاحِبُ السِّرِّ الَّذِي لاَ يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُهُ كَيْفَ قَرَأَ ابْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ وَاللَّيْلِ فَقَرَأْتُ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى وَالذَّكَرِ وَالأُنْثَى قَالَ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاهُ إِلَى فِيَّ فَمَا زَالَ هَؤُلاَءِ حَتَّى كَادُوا يَرُدُّونِي
The merits of 'Abdullah bin Mas’ud رضي الله عنه
Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid:
We asked Hudhaifa to tell us of a person resembling (to some extent) the Prophet (ﷺ) in good appearance
and straight forward behavior so that we may learn from him (good manners and acceptable conduct).
Hudhaifa replied, "I do not know anybody resembling the Prophet (to some extent) in appearance and
conduct more than Ibn Um `Abd.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ سَأَلْنَا حُذَيْفَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَرِيبِ السَّمْتِ وَالْهَدْىِ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى نَأْخُذَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ مَا أَعْرِفُ أَحَدًا أَقْرَبَ سَمْتًا وَهَدْيًا وَدَلاًّ بِالنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ
The merits of 'Abdullah bin Mas’ud رضي الله عنه
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:
My brother and I came from Yemen, and for some time we continued to consider `Abdullah bin
Mas`ud as one of the members of the family of the Prophet (ﷺ) because we used to see him and his mother
going in the house of the Prophet (ﷺ) very often.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الأَسْوَدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيَّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَدِمْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَمَكُثْنَا حِينًا مَا نُرَى إِلاَّ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِمَا نَرَى مِنْ دُخُولِهِ وَدُخُولِ أُمِّهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
Narration about Mu'awiya رضي الله عنه
Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika:
Muawiya offered one rak`a witr prayer after the `Isha prayer, and at that time a freed slave of Ibn
`Abbas was present. He (i.e. the slave) went to Ibn `Abbas (and told him that Muawiya offered one
rak`a witr prayer). Ibn `Abbas said, "Leave him, for he was in the company of Allah's Messenger."
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَافَى عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ أَوْتَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ بِرَكْعَةٍ وَعِنْدَهُ مَوْلًى لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَتَى ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ دَعْهُ فَإِنَّهُ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
Narration about Mu'awiya رضي الله عنه
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:
Somebody said to Ibn `Abbas, "Can you speak to the chief of the believers Mu`awiyah, as he does not
pray except one rak`a as witr?" Ibn `Abbas replied, "He is a Faqih (i.e. a learned man who can give
religious verdicts) ."
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قِيلَ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ هَلْ لَكَ فِي أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَإِنَّهُ مَا أَوْتَرَ إِلاَّ بِوَاحِدَةٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُ فَقِيهٌ
Narration about Mu'awiya رضي الله عنه
Narrated Humran bin Aban:
Muawiya said (to the people), "You offer a prayer which we, who were the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ)
never saw the Prophet (ﷺ) offering, and he forbade its offering," i.e. the two rak`at after the compulsory
`Asr prayer.
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمْرَانَ بْنَ أَبَانَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتُصَلُّونَ صَلاَةً لَقَدْ صَحِبْنَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ يُصَلِّيهَا وَلَقَدْ نَهَى عَنْهُمَا يَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ
The merits of Fatima عليها السلام

The superiority of 'Aishah رضي الله عنها
Narrated Abu Salama:
`Aisha said, "Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to me), 'O Aish (`Aisha)! This is Gabriel greeting you.' I said,
'Peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be on him, you see what I don't see' " She was addressing
Allah 's Apostle.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمًا يَا عَائِشَ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ يُقْرِئُكِ السَّلاَمَ فَقُلْتُ وَعَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ تَرَى مَا لاَ أَرَى تُرِيدُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
The superiority of 'Aishah رضي الله عنها
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Many amongst men attained perfection but amongst women none attained the
perfection except Mary, the daughter of `Imran and Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh. And the superiority of
`Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. an Arabic dish) to other meals."
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَمَلَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَفَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ
The superiority of 'Aishah رضي الله عنها
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The superiority of `Aisha over other women is like the superiority of Tharid to
other meals."

The superiority of 'Aishah رضي الله عنها
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:
Once `Aisha became sick and Ibn `Abbas went to see her and said, "O mother of the believers! You
are leaving for truthful fore-runners i.e. for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ اشْتَكَتْ فَجَاءَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تَقْدَمِينَ عَلَى فَرَطِ صِدْقٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ
The superiority of 'Aishah رضي الله عنها
Narrated Abu Wail:
When `Ali sent `Ammar and Al-Hasan to (the people of) Kufa to urge them to fight, `Ammar
addressed them saying, "I know that she (i.e. `Aisha) is the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ) in this world and in the
Hereafter (world to come), but Allah has put you to test, whether you will follow Him (i.e. Allah) or
her."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ قَالَ لَمَّا بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ عَمَّارًا وَالْحَسَنَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ لِيَسْتَنْفِرَهُمْ خَطَبَ عَمَّارٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا زَوْجَتُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ ابْتَلاَكُمْ لِتَتَّبِعُوهُ أَوْ إِيَّاهَا
The superiority of 'Aishah رضي الله عنها
Narrated `Aisha:
That she borrowed a necklace from Asma' and it was lost. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent some of his
companions to look for it. During their journey the time of prayer was due and they prayed without
ablution. When they returned to the Prophet (ﷺ) they complained about it. So the Divine Verse of
Tayammum was revealed. Usaid bin Hudair said (to `Aisha), "May Allah reward you handsomely. By
Allah, whenever you have a difficulty, Allah took you out of it and brought with it, a Blessing for the
Muslims."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها أَنَّهَا اسْتَعَارَتْ مِنْ أَسْمَاءَ قِلاَدَةً فَهَلَكَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي طَلَبِهَا فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّوْا بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ فَلَمَّا أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ التَّيَمُّمِ فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ جَزَاكِ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ بِكِ أَمْرٌ قَطُّ إِلاَّ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكِ مِنْهُ مَخْرَجًا وَجَعَلَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ بَرَكَةً
The superiority of 'Aishah رضي الله عنها
Narrated Hisham's father:
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in his fatal illness, he started visiting his wives and saying, "Where will I
be tomorrow?" He was anxious to be in `Aisha's home. `Aisha said, "So when it was my day, the
Prophet became silent (no longer asked the question).
حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَمَّا كَانَ فِي مَرَضِهِ جَعَلَ يَدُورُ فِي نِسَائِهِ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ أَنَا غَدًا أَيْنَ أَنَا غَدًا حِرْصًا عَلَى بَيْتِ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمِي سَكَنَ
The superiority of 'Aishah رضي الله عنها
Narrated Hisham's father:
The people used to send presents to the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of `Aisha's turn. `Aisha said, "My
companions (i.e. the other wives of the Prophet) gathered in the house of Um Salama and said, "O Um
Salama! By Allah, the people choose to send presents on the day of `Aisha's turn and we too, love the
good (i.e. presents etc.) as `Aisha does. You should tell Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to tell the people to send their
presents to him wherever he may be, or wherever his turn may be." Um Salama said that to the
Prophet and he turned away from her, and when the Prophet (ﷺ) returned to her (i.e. Um Salama), she
repeated the same, and the Prophet (ﷺ) again turned away, and when she told him the same for the third
time, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Um Salama! Don't trouble me by harming `Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine
Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her."
