pay what remains (of the price of her manumission), (Sufyan the sub-narrator once said), or if you like
you can manumit her, but her (inheritance) Al-Wala would be for us. "When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came, I
spoke to him about it. He said, "Buy her and manumit her. No doubt Al-Wala' is for the manumitted."
Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood on the pulpit (or Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit as Sufyan once said),
and said, "What about some people who impose conditions which are not present in Allah's Book
(Laws)? Whoever imposes conditions which are not in Allah's Book (Laws), his conditions will be
invalid even if he imposed them a hundred times."

"Why is this Sheikh weeping, if Allah gave choice to one (of His) slaves either to choose this world or
what is with Him in the Here after and he chose the latter?" And that slave was Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
himself. Abu Bakr knew more than us. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Bakr! Don't weep. The Prophet (ﷺ)
added: Abu- Bakr has favored me much with his property and company. If I were to take a Khalil
from mankind I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr but the Islamic brotherhood and friendship is
sufficient. Close all the gates in the mosque except that of Abu Bakr.

Narrated Al-Sa'ib bin Yazid:
I was standing in the mosque and somebody threw a gravel at me. I looked and found that he was
`Umar bin Al-Khattab. He said to me, "Fetch those two men to me." When I did, he said to them,
"Who are you? (Or) where do you come from?" They replied, "We are from Ta'if." `Umar said, "Were
you from this city (Medina) I would have punished you for raising your voices in the mosque of
Allah's Messenger."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْجُعَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُصَيْفَةَ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَائِمًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَصَبَنِي رَجُلٌ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأْتِنِي بِهَذَيْنِ فَجِئْتُهُ بِهِمَا قَالَ مَنْ أَنْتُمَا ـ أَوْ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتُمَا قَالاَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الطَّائِفِ قَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُمَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ لأَوْجَعْتُكُمَا تَرْفَعَانِ أَصْوَاتَكُمَا فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
Raising the voice in the mosque
Narrated Ka`b bin Malik:
During the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I asked Ibn Abi Hadrad in the mosque to pay the debts which he
owed to me and our voices grew so loud that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard them while he was in his house. So
he came to us after raising the curtain of his room. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Ka`b bin Malik!" I replied,
"Labaik, O Allah's Messenger." He gestured with his hand to me to reduce the debt to one half. I said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) have done it." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to Ibn Hadrad), "Get up and pay it."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِجْفَ حُجْرَتِهِ وَنَادَى يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَا كَعْبُ قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ أَنْ ضَعِ الشَّطْرَ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ قَالَ كَعْبٌ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ
The religious gathering in circles and sitting in the mosque
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar said, "While the Prophet (ﷺ) was on the pulpit, a man asked him how to offer the night prayers.
He replied, 'Pray two rak`at at a time and then two and then two and so on, and if you are afraid of the
dawn (the approach of the time of the Fajr prayer) pray one rak`a and that will be the witr for all the
rak`at which you have offered." Ibn `Umar said, "The last rak`at of the night prayer should be odd, for
the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered it to be so.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ مَا تَرَى فِي صَلاَةِ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى فَإِذَا خَشِيَ الصُّبْحَ صَلَّى وَاحِدَةً فَأَوْتَرَتْ لَهُ مَا صَلَّى وَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ اجْعَلُوا آخِرَ صَلاَتِكُمْ وِتْرًا فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِهِ
