Sahih al-Bukhari — Knowledge

Narrated Abu Huraira:I said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) "I hear many narrations (Hadiths) from you but I forget them." Allah's Apostle said, "Spread your Rida' (garment)." I did accordingly and then he moved his hands as if filling them with something (and emptied them in my Rida') and then said, "Take and wrap this sheet over your body." I did it and after that I never forgot any thing. Narrated Ibrahim bin Al-Mundhir: Ibn Abi Fudaik narrated the same as above (Hadith...119) but added that the Prophet (ﷺ) had moved his hands as if filling them with something and then he emptied them in the Rida' of Abu Huraira

حدثنا احمد بن ابي بكر ابو مصعب، قال حدثنا محمد بن ابراهيم بن دينار، عن ابن ابي ذيب، عن سعيد المقبري، عن ابي هريرة، قال قلت يا رسول الله، اني اسمع منك حديثا كثيرا انساه. قال " ابسط رداءك " فبسطته. قال فغرف بيديه ثم قال " ضمه " فضممته فما نسيت شييا بعده. حدثنا ابراهيم بن المنذر قال حدثنا ابن ابي فديك بهذا او قال غرف بيده فيه

Narrated Abu Huraira:I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . I have propagated one of them to you and if I propagated the second, then my pharynx (throat) would be cut (i.e. killed)

حدثنا اسماعيل، قال حدثني اخي، عن ابن ابي ذيب، عن سعيد المقبري، عن ابي هريرة، قال حفظت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وعاءين، فاما احدهما فبثثته، واما الاخر فلو بثثته قطع هذا البلعوم

Narrated Jarir:The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me during Hajjat-al-Wida`: Let the people keep quiet and listen. Then he said (addressing the people), "Do not (become infidels) revert to disbelief after me by striking the necks (cutting the throats) of one another (killing each other)

حدثنا حجاج، قال حدثنا شعبة، قال اخبرني علي بن مدرك، عن ابي زرعة، عن جرير، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال له في حجة الوداع " استنصت الناس " فقال " لا ترجعوا بعدي كفارا يضرب بعضكم رقاب بعض

Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair:I said to Ibn `Abbas, "Nauf-Al-Bakali claims that Moses (the companion of Khadir) was not the Moses of Bani Israel but he was another Moses." Ibn `Abbas remarked that the enemy of Allah (Nauf) was a liar. Narrated Ubai bin Ka`b: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Once the Prophet Moses (ﷺ) stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked, "Who is the most learned man amongst the people. He said, "I am the most learned." Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him (Allah). So Allah inspired to him "At the junction of the two seas there is a slave amongst my slaves who is more learned than you." Moses said, "O my Lord! How can I meet him?" Allah said: Take a fish in a large basket (and proceed) and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set out along with his (servant) boy, Yusha` bin Noon and carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock, where they laid their heads (i.e. lay down) and slept. The fish came out of the basket and it took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing thing for both Moses and his (servant) boy. They proceeded for the rest of that night and the following day. When the day broke, Moses said to his (servant) boy: "Bring us our early meal. No doubt, we have suffered much fatigue in this journey." Moses did not get tired till he passed the place about which he was told. There the (servant) boy told Moses, "Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish." Moses remarked, "That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps, till they reached the rock. There they saw a man covered with a garment (or covering himself with his own garment). Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir replied saying, "How do people greet each other in your land?" Moses said, "I am Moses." He asked, "The Moses of Bani Israel?" Moses replied in the affirmative and added, "May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been taught." Al-Khadir replied, "Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with me, O Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do not know, while you have some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know." Moses said, "Allah willing, you will find me patient and I will disobey no order of yours. So both of them set out walking along the seashore, as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and took them on board without fare. Then a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice in the sea. Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah's knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak." Al- Khadir went to one of the planks of the boat and plucked it out. Moses said, "These people gave us a free lift but you have broken their boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people." Al-Khadir replied, "Didn't I tell you that you will not be able to remain patient with me." Moses said, "Call me not to account for what I forgot." The first (excuse) of Moses was that he had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and found a boy playing with other boys. Al-Khadir took hold of the boy's head from the top and plucked it out with his hands (i.e. killed him). Moses said, "Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed none." Al-Khadir replied, "Did I not tell you that you cannot remain patient with me?" Then they both proceeded till when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found there a wall on the point of collapsing. Al-Khadir repaired it with his own hands. Moses said, "If you had wished, surely you could have taken wages for it." Al-Khadir replied, "This is the parting between you and me." The Prophet added, "May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more patient to learn more about his story with Al-Khadir

Narrated Abu Musa:A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What kind of fighting is in Allah's cause? (I ask this), for some of us fight because of being enraged and angry and some for the sake of his pride and haughtiness." The Prophet (ﷺ) raised his head (as the questioner was standing) and said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word (Islam) should be superior, then he fights in Allah's cause

حدثنا عثمان، قال اخبرنا جرير، عن منصور، عن ابي وايل، عن ابي موسى، قال جاء رجل الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله، ما القتال في سبيل الله فان احدنا يقاتل غضبا، ويقاتل حمية. فرفع اليه راسه قال وما رفع اليه راسه الا انه كان قايما فقال " من قاتل لتكون كلمة الله هي العليا فهو في سبيل الله عز وجل

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Ammar:I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) near the Jamra and the people were asking him questions (about religious problems). A man asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have slaughtered the Hadi (animal) before doing the Rami." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Do the Rami (now) and there is no harm." Another person asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I got my head shaved before slaughtering the animal." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Do the slaughtering (now) and there is no harm." So on that day, when the Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about anything as regards the ceremonies of Hajj performed before or after its due time his reply was, "Do it (now) and there is no harm

حدثنا ابو نعيم، قال حدثنا عبد العزيز بن ابي سلمة، عن الزهري، عن عيسى بن طلحة، عن عبد الله بن عمرو، قال رايت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عند الجمرة وهو يسال، فقال رجل يا رسول الله نحرت قبل ان ارمي. قال " ارم ولا حرج ". قال اخر يا رسول الله حلقت قبل ان انحر. قال " انحر ولا حرج ". فما سيل عن شىء قدم ولا اخر الا قال افعل ولا حرج

Narrated `Abdullah:While I was going with the Prophet (ﷺ) through the ruins of Medina and he was reclining on a date-palm leaf stalk, some Jews passed by. Some of them said to the others: Ask him (the Prophet) about the spirit. Some of them said that they should not ask him that question as he might give a reply which would displease them. But some of them insisted on asking, and so one of them stood up and asked, "O Abul-Qasim ! What is the spirit?" The Prophet (ﷺ) remained quiet. I thought he was being inspired Divinely. So I stayed till that state of the Prophet (while being inspired) was over. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "And they ask you (O Muhammad) concerning the spirit --Say: The spirit -- its knowledge is with my Lord. And of knowledge you (mankind) have been given only a little

حدثنا قيس بن حفص، قال حدثنا عبد الواحد، قال حدثنا الاعمش، سليمان عن ابراهيم، عن علقمة، عن عبد الله، قال بينا انا امشي، مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في خرب المدينة، وهو يتوكا على عسيب معه، فمر بنفر من اليهود، فقال بعضهم لبعض سلوه عن الروح. وقال بعضهم لا تسالوه لا يجيء فيه بشىء تكرهونه. فقال بعضهم لنسالنه. فقام رجل منهم فقال يا ابا القاسم، ما الروح فسكت. فقلت انه يوحى اليه. فقمت، فلما انجلى عنه، قال {ويسالونك عن الروح قل الروح من امر ربي وما اوتيتم من العلم الا قليلا}. قال الاعمش هكذا في قراءتنا

Narrated Aswad:Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, "Aisha used to tell you secretly a number of things. What did she tell you about the Ka`ba?" I replied, "She told me that once the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'O `Aisha! Had not your people been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (infidelity)! I would have dismantled the Ka`ba and would have made two doors in it; one for entrance and the other for exit." Later on Ibn Az-Zubair did the same

حدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى، عن اسراييل، عن ابي اسحاق، عن الاسود، قال قال لي ابن الزبير كانت عايشة تسر اليك كثيرا فما حدثتك في الكعبة قلت قالت لي قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " يا عايشة، لولا قومك حديث عهدهم قال ابن الزبير بكفر لنقضت الكعبة فجعلت لها بابين باب يدخل الناس، وباب يخرجون ". ففعله ابن الزبير

O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Again the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Mu`adh!" Mu`adh said thrice, "Labbaik and Sa`daik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There is none who testifies sincerely that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is his Apostle, except that Allah, will save him from the Hell-fire." Mu`adh said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! Should I not inform the people about it so that they may have glad tidings?" He replied, "When the people hear about it, they will solely depend on it." Then Mu`adh narrated the above-mentioned Hadith just before his death, being afraid of committing sin (by not telling the knowledge)

Um Salama, then covered her face and asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Does a woman get a discharge?" He replied, "Yes, let your right hand be in dust (An Arabic expression you say to a person when you contradict his statement meaning "you will not achieve goodness"), and that is why the son resembles his mother
