حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْضَلُ الْجِهَادِ کَلِمَةُ عَدْلٍ عِنْدَ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ أَوْ أَمِيرٍ جَائِرٍ

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Prophet ﷺ said: The best fighting (jihad) in the path of Allah is (to speak) a word of justice to an oppressive ruler.

أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، ← عَطِّيَةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ، ← اِسْرَائِیْلُ ← يَزِيدُ -يَعْنِي ابْنَ هَارُونَ- ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَادَةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ،

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُغِيرَةُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْمُوصِلِيُّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ عَنْ الْعُرْسِ ابْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْکِنْدِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا عُمِلَتْ الْخَطِيئَةُ فِي الْأَرْضِ کَانَ مَنْ شَهِدَهَا فَکَرِهَهَا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أَنْکَرَهَا کَانَ کَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا وَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا فَرَضِيَهَا کَانَ کَمَنْ شَهِدَهَا

Narrated Al-Urs bin Amirat al-Kindi: The Prophet ﷺ said: When sin is done in the earth, he who sees it and disapproves of it will be taken like one who was not present, but he who is not present and approves of it will be like him who sees.

الْعُرْسِ ابْنِ عَمِيرَةَ الْکِنْدِيِّ ← عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ ← مُغِيرَةُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْمُوصِلِيُّ ← أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلائِ

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ مَنْ شَهِدَهَا فَکَرِهَهَا کَانَ کَمَنْ غَابَ عَنْهَا

A similar tradition has also been transmitted by ‘Adl from the prophet ﷺ though a different chain of narrators. This version has: He who sees it and disapproves of it will be like him who was not present.

عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ ← مُغِيرَةَ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ ← أَبُو شِهَابٍ، ← أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ،

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَحَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ و قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَنْ يَهْلَکَ النَّاسُ حَتَّی يَعْذِرُوا أَوْ يُعْذِرُوا مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ

A man from among the companions of the prophet ﷺ reported him as saying: The people will not perish until their sins and faults become abundant, and there remains no excuse for them.

أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ ← عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ← شُعْبَةُ وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ ← سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَحَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ صَلَّی بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَائِ فِي آخِرِ حَيَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتُکُمْ لَيْلَتَکُمْ هَذِهِ فَإِنَّ عَلَی رَأْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ مِنْهَا لَا يَبْقَی مِمَّنْ هُوَ عَلَی ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَوَهِلَ النَّاسُ فِي مَقَالَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تِلْکَ فِيمَا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ عَنْ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَبْقَی مِمَّنْ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَی ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ يُرِيدُ بِأَنْ يَنْخَرِمَ ذَلِکَ الْقَرْنُ

Abdullah bin Umar said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the night prayer one night towards the end of his life. When he uttered the salutation, he got up and said: Have you seen this night of yours ? No one of those who are on the surface of the earth will survive at the ends of one hundred years. Ibn Umar said: The people fell into fallacy by this statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the traditions they used to narrate concerning one hundred years. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No one of those who are present today on the surface of the earth will survive, meaning when that century comes to and end.

أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ← سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ← الزُّهْرِيِّ، ← مَعْمَرٌ، ← عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ← أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ،

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ سَهْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَنْ يُعْجِزَ اللَّهُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ مِنْ نِصْفِ يَوْمٍ

Narrated Abu Thalabat al-Khushani: The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah will not fail to detain this community for less than half a day.

أَبِي ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ، ← أَبِيهِ ← عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ← مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ← ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ← حَجَّاجُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ← مُوسَی بْنُ سَهْلٍ

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا تَعْجِزَ أُمَّتِي عِنْدَ رَبِّهَا أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَهُمْ نِصْفَ يَوْمٍ قِيلَ لِسَعْدٍ وَکَمْ نِصْفُ ذَلِکَ الْيَوْمِ قَالَ خَمْسُ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ

Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: The Prophet ﷺ said: I hope my community will not fail to maintain their position in the sight of their Lord if He delays them half a day. Saad was asked: How long is half a day? He said: It is five hundred years.

سعد بن أبي وقاص ← شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، ← صَفْوَانُ؛ ← أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ← عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ،

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام أَحْرَقَ نَاسًا ارْتَدُّوا عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِکَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَکُنْ لِأُحْرِقَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَکُنْتُ قَاتِلَهُمْ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِکَ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام فَقَالَ وَيْحَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

Ikrimah said: Ali burned some people who retreated from islam. When Ibn Abbas was informed of it, he said: If it had been I, I would not have then burned, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not inflict Allah’s punishment on anyone, but would have had killed them on account of the statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger said: Kill those who change their religion. When ‘All was informed about it he said: How truly Ibn Abbas said!

عِكْرِمَةَ ← أَيُّوبَ ← إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ← أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَی ثَلَاثٍ الثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي وَالنَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالتَّارِکُ لِدِينِهِ الْمُفَارِقُ لِلْجَمَاعَةِ

Abdullah (bin Masud) reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah should not be lawfully shed but only for one of three reasons: married fornicator, soul for soul, and one who deserts his religion separating himself from the community.

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ← مَسْرُوقٍ ← عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ← الْاَعْمَشِ ← أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ← عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ،

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَی ثَلَاثٍ رَجُلٌ زَنَی بَعْدَ إِحْصَانٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُرْجَمُ وَرَجُلٌ خَرَجَ مُحَارِبًا لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ أَوْ يُصْلَبُ أَوْ يُنْفَی مِنْ الْأَرْضِ أَوْ يَقْتُلُ نَفْسًا فَيُقْتَلُ بِهَا

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ Said: The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger should not lawfully be shed except only for one of three reasons: a man who committed fornication after marriage, in which case he should be stoned; one who goes forth to fight with Allah and His Messenger, in which case he should be killed or crucified or exiled from the land; or one who commits murder for which he is killed.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَمُسَدَّدٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بُرْدَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَی أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعِي رَجُلَانِ مِنْ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَنْ يَمِينِي وَالْآخَرُ عَنْ يَسَارِي فَکِلَاهُمَا سَأَلَ الْعَمَلَ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَاکِتٌ فَقَالَ مَا تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا مُوسَی أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ قُلْتُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَکَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَطْلَعَانِي عَلَی مَا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمَا وَمَا شَعَرْتُ أَنَّهُمَا يَطْلُبَانِ الْعَمَلَ وَکَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَی سِوَاکِهِ تَحْتَ شَفَتِهِ قَلَصَتْ قَالَ لَنْ نَسْتَعْمِلَ أَوْ لَا نَسْتَعْمِلُ عَلَی عَمَلِنَا مَنْ أَرَادَهُ وَلَکِنْ اذْهَبْ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَی أَوْ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ قَيْسٍ فَبَعَثَهُ عَلَی الْيَمَنِ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ مُعَاذٌ قَالَ انْزِلْ وَأَلْقَی لَهُ وِسَادَةً وَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عِنْدَهُ مُوثَقٌ قَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالَ هَذَا کَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فَأَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ رَاجَعَ دِينَهُ دِينَ السُّوئِ قَالَ لَا أَجْلِسُ حَتَّی يُقْتَلَ قَضَائُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ قَالَ اجْلِسْ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا أَجْلِسُ حَتَّی يُقْتَلَ قَضَائُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ ثُمَّ تَذَاکَرَا قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَنَامُ وَأَقُومُ أَوْ أَقُومُ وَأَنَامُ وَأَرْجُو فِي نَوْمَتِي مَا أَرْجُو فِي قَوْمَتِي

Abu Burdah said on the authority of Abu Musa: I went to the Prophet ﷺ while two men who were Ash’ arIs were with me. One of them was on my right and the other on my left side. Bothe of them asked him for employment. The prophet ﷺ was silent. He asked: What do you say Abu Musa, or Abdullah bin Qais (Abu Musa’s name)? I replied: By him who has sent you with truth, they did not inform me of what they had in their hearts, and I did not know that they would ask for an employment. He said: I have the scene before my eyes that he had his toothstick below his lip which receded. He (the prophet) said: We will never or will not put in charge of our work anyone who asks for it. But go, ye, Abu Musa, or Abdullah bin Qais. He then sent him as a Governor of the Yemen, After him he sent Muadh bin Jabal. When Muadh came to him, he said: come down, and he put a cushion for him. He saw that a man was chained with him. He asked: What is this? He replied: He was a Jew and he accepted Islam. He then converted to his religion, an evil religion. He said: I will not sit until he is killed according to the decision of Allah and his Messenger ﷺ. He said: Yes, be seated. He said: I will not sit until he is killed according to the decision of Allah and his Messenger ﷺ. He said it three times. He then commanded for it and he was killed. Both of them then discussed the question of prayer and vigilance at night. One of them, probably Muadh, said: So far as I am concerned, I sleep and I keep vigilance: I keep vigilance and I sleep: I hope for the same reward for my sleep as for my vigilance.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا الْحِمَّانِيُّ يَعْنِی عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَی وَبُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَی قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ مُعَاذٌ وَأَنَا بِالْيَمَنِ وَرَجُلٌ کَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فَأَسْلَمَ فَارْتَدَّ عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ مُعَاذٌ قَالَ لَا أَنْزِلُ عَنْ دَابَّتِي حَتَّی يُقْتَلَ فَقُتِلَ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَکَانَ قَدْ اسْتُتِيبَ قَبْلَ ذَلِکَ

Narrated Muadh ibn Jabal: Abu Musa said: Muadh came to me when I was in the Yemen. A man who was Jew embraced Islam and then retreated from Islam. When Muadh 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.
