Sahih al-Bukhari — Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an

Narrated Al-Qasim:Ibn `Abbas asked `Aisha's permission to enter. Al-Qasim then narrated the whole Hadith (as in 277) but did not mention: "Would that I had been forgotten and out of sight

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا عبد الوهاب بن عبد المجيد، حدثنا ابن عون، عن القاسم، ان ابن عباس رضى الله عنه استاذن على عايشة نحوه. ولم يذكر نسيا منسيا

Narrated Masruq:`Aisha said that Hassan bin Thabit came and asked permission to visit her. I said, "How do you permit such a person?" She said, "Hasn't he received a severely penalty?" (Sufyan, the subnarrator, said: She meant the loss of his sight.) Thereupon Hassan said the following poetic verse: "A chaste pious woman who arouses no suspicion. She never talks about chaste heedless women behind their backs.' On that she said, "But you are not so

حدثنا محمد بن يوسف، حدثنا سفيان، عن الاعمش، عن ابي الضحى، عن مسروق، عن عايشة رضى الله عنها قالت جاء حسان بن ثابت يستاذن عليها قلت اتاذنين لهذا قالت اوليس قد اصابه عذاب عظيم. قال سفيان تعني ذهاب بصره. فقال حصان رزان ما تزن بريبة وتصبح غرثى من لحوم الغوافل قالت لكن انت

Narrated Masruq:Hassan came to Aisha and said the following poetic Verse: 'A chaste pious woman who arouses no suspicion. She never talks against chaste heedless women behind their backs.' `Aisha said, "But you are not," I said (to `Aisha), "Why do you allow such a person to enter upon you after Allah has revealed: "...and as for him among them who had the greater share therein'?" (24.11) She said, "What punishment is worse than blindness?" She added, "And he used to defend Allah's Apostle against the pagans (in his poetry)

حدثني محمد بن بشار، حدثنا ابن ابي عدي، انبانا شعبة، عن الاعمش، عن ابي الضحى، عن مسروق، قال دخل حسان بن ثابت على عايشة فشبب وقال حصان رزان ما تزن بريبة وتصبح غرثى من لحوم الغوافل قالت لست كذاك. قلت تدعين مثل هذا يدخل عليك وقد انزل الله {والذي تولى كبره منهم} فقالت واى عذاب اشد من العمى وقالت وقد كان يرد عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

Narrated Aisha:When there was said about me what was said which I myself was unaware of, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up and addressed the people. He recited Tashah-hud, and after glorifying and praising Allah as He deserved, he said, "To proceed: O people Give me your opinion regarding those people who made a forged story against my wife. By Allah, I do not know anything bad about her. By Allah, they accused her of being with a man about whom I have never known anything bad, and he never entered my house unless I was present there, and whenever I went on a journey, he went with me." Sa`d bin Mu`adh got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Allow me to chop their heads off". Then a man from the Al-Khazraj (Sa`d bin 'Ubada) to whom the mother of (the poet) Hassan bin Thabit was a relative, got up and said (to Sa`d bin Mu`adh), "You have told a lie! By Allah, if those persons were from the Aus Tribe, you would not like to chop their heads off." It was probable that some evil would take place between the Aus and the Khazraj in the mosque, and I was unaware of all that. In the evening of that day, I went out for some of my needs (i.e. to relieve myself), and Um Mistah was accompanying me. On our return, Um Mistah stumbled and said, "Let Mistah. be ruined" I said to her, "O mother Why do you abuse your Son" On that Um Mistah became silent for a while, and stumbling again, she said, "Let Mistah be ruined" I said to her, "Why do you abuse your son?" She stumbled for the third time and said, "Let Mistah be ruined" whereupon I rebuked her for that. She said, "By Allah, I do not abuse him except because of you." I asked her, "Concerning what of my affairs?" So she disclosed the whole story to me. I said, "Has this really happened?" She replied, "Yes, by Allah." I returned to my house, astonished (and distressed) that I did not know for what purpose I had gone out. Then I became sick (fever) and said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) "Send me to my father's house." So he sent a slave with me, and when I entered the house, I found Um Rum-an (my mother) downstairs while (my father) Abu Bakr was reciting something upstairs. My mother asked, "What has brought you, O (my) daughter?" I informed her and mentioned to her the whole story, but she did not feel it as I did. She said, "O my daughter! Take it easy, for there is never a charming lady loved by her husband who has other wives but that they feel jealous of her and speak badly of her." But she did not feel the news as I did. I asked (her), "Does my father know about it?" She said, "yes" I asked, Does Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) know about it too?" She said, "Yes, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) does too." So the tears filled my eyes and I wept. Abu Bakr, who was reading upstairs heard my voice and came down and asked my mother, "What is the matter with her? " She said, "She has heard what has been said about her (as regards the story of Al-Ifk)." On that Abu- Bakr wept and said, "I beseech you by Allah, O my daughter, to go back to your home". I went back to my home and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had come to my house and asked my maid-servant about me (my character). The maid-servant said, "By Allah, I do not know of any defect in her character except that she sleeps and let the sheep enter (her house) and eat her dough." On that, some of the Prophet's companions spoke harshly to her and said, "Tell the truth to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Finally they told her of the affair (of the slander). She said, "Subhan Allah! By Allah, I know nothing against her except what goldsmith knows about a piece of pure gold." Then this news reached the man who was accused, and he said, "Subhan Allah! By Allah, I have never uncovered the private parts of any woman." Later that man was martyred in Allah's Cause. Next morning my parents came to pay me a visit and they stayed with me till Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me after he had offered the `Asr prayer. He came to me while my parents were sitting around me on my right and my left. He praised and glorified Allah and said, "Now then O `Aisha! If you have committed a bad deed or you have wronged (yourself), then repent to Allah as Allah accepts the repentance from his slaves." An Ansari woman had come and was sitting near the gate. I said (to the Prophet), "Isn't it improper that you speak in such a way in the presence of this lady? Allah's Apostle then gave a piece of advice and I turned to my father and requested him to answer him (on my behalf). My father said, "What should I say?" Then I turned to my mother and asked her to answer him. She said, "What should I say?" When my parents did not give a reply to the Prophet, I said, "I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle!" And after praising and glorifying Allah as He deserves, I said, "Now then, by Allah, if I were to tell you that I have not done (this evil action) and Allah is a witness that I am telling the truth, that would not be of any use to me on your part because you (people) have spoken about it and your hearts have absorbed it; and if I were to tell you that I have done this sin and Allah knows that I have not done it, then you will say, 'She has confessed herself guilty." By Allah, 'I do not see a suitable example for me and you but the example of (I tried to remember Jacob's name but couldn't) Joseph's father when he said; So (for me) "Patience is most fitting against that which you assert. It is Allah (alone) whose help can be sought.' At that very hour the Divine Inspiration came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and we remained silent. Then the Inspiration was over and I noticed the signs of happiness on his face while he was removing (the sweat) from his forehead and saying, "Have the good tidings O ' "Aisha! Allah has revealed your innocence." At that time I was extremely angry. My parents said to me, "Get up and go to him." I said, "By Allah, I will not do it and will not thank him nor thank either of you, but I will thank Allah Who has revealed my innocence. You have heard this story but neither did not deny it nor change it (to defend me)." (Aisha used to say:) "But as regards Zainab bint Jahsh, (the Prophet's wife), Allah protected her because of her piety, so she did not say anything except good (about me), but her sister, Hamna, was ruined among those who were ruined. Those who used to speak evil about me were Mistah, Hassan bin Thabit, and the hypocrite, `Abdullah bin Ubai, who used to spread that news and tempt others to speak of it, and it was he and Hamna who had the greater share therein. Abu Bakr took an oath that he would never do any favor to Mistah at all. Then Allah revealed the Divine Verse: "Let not those among you who are good and wealthy (i.e. Abu Bakr) swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kinsmen, and those in need, (i.e. Mistah) ...Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (24.22) On that, Abu Bakr said, "Yes, by Allah, O our Lord! We wish that You should forgive us." So Abu Bakr again started giving to Mistah the expenditure which he used to give him before

Narrated `Aishah:May Allah bestow His Mercy on the early emigrant women. When Allah revealed: "... and to draw their veils all over their Juyubihinna (i.e., their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)..." (V.24:31) they tore their Murut (woolen dresses or waist-binding clothes or aprons etc.) and covered their heads and faces with those torn Muruts

وقال احمد بن شبيب حدثنا ابي، عن يونس، قال ابن شهاب عن عروة، عن عايشة رضى الله عنها قالت يرحم الله نساء المهاجرات الاول، لما انزل الله {وليضربن بخمرهن على جيوبهن} شققن مروطهن فاختمرن بها

Narrated Safiya bint Shaiba:`Aisha used to say: "When (the Verse): "They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms," was revealed, (the ladies) cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their heads and faces with those cut pieces of cloth

حدثنا ابو نعيم، حدثنا ابراهيم بن نافع، عن الحسن بن مسلم، عن صفية بنت شيبة، ان عايشة رضى الله عنها كانت تقول لما نزلت هذه الاية {وليضربن بخمرهن على جيوبهن} اخذن ازرهن فشققنها من قبل الحواشي فاختمرن بها

Narrated Anas bin Malik:A man said, "O Allah's Prophet! Will Allah gather the non-believers on their faces on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Will not the One Who made him walk on his feet in this world, be able to make him walk on his face on the Day of Resurrection?" (Qatada, a subnarrator, said: Yes, By the Power of Our Lord)

حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد، حدثنا يونس بن محمد البغدادي، حدثنا شيبان، عن قتادة، حدثنا انس بن مالك رضى الله عنه . ان رجلا، قال يا نبي الله يحشر الكافر على وجهه يوم القيامة قال " اليس الذي امشاه على الرجلين في الدنيا قادرا على ان يمشيه على وجهه يوم القيامة ". قال قتادة بلى وعزة ربنا

Narrated `Abdullah:I or somebody, asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) "Which is the biggest sin in the Sight of Allah?" He said, "That you set up a rival (in worship) to Allah though He Alone created you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "Then, that you kill your son, being afraid that he may share your meals with you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "That you commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor." Then the following Verse was revealed to confirm the statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ): "Those who invoke not with Allah, any other god, nor kill life as Allah has forbidden except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse

حدثنا مسدد، حدثنا يحيى، عن سفيان، قال حدثني منصور، وسليمان، عن ابي وايل، عن ابي ميسرة، عن عبد الله،. قال وحدثني واصل، عن ابي وايل، عن عبد الله رضى الله عنه قال سالت او سيل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اى الذنب عند الله اكبر قال " ان تجعل لله ندا وهو خلقك ". قلت ثم اى قال " ثم ان تقتل ولدك خشية ان يطعم معك". قلت ثم اى قال " ان تزاني بحليلة جارك ". قال ونزلت هذه الاية تصديقا لقول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم {والذين لا يدعون مع الله الها اخر ولا يقتلون النفس التي حرم الله الا بالحق ولا يزنون}

Narrated Al-Qasim bin Abi Bazza:That he asked Sa`id bin Jubair, "Is there any repentance of the one who has murdered a believer intentionally?" Then I recited to him:-- "Nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden except for a just cause." Sa`id said, "I recited this very Verse before Ibn `Abbas as you have recited it before me. Ibn `Abbas said, 'This Verse was revealed in Mecca and it has been abrogated by a Verse in Surat-An-Nisa which was later revealed in Medina

حدثنا ابراهيم بن موسى، اخبرنا هشام بن يوسف، ان ابن جريج، اخبرهم قال اخبرني القاسم بن ابي بزة، انه سال سعيد بن جبير هل لمن قتل مومنا متعمدا من توبة فقرات عليه {ولا يقتلون النفس التي حرم الله الا بالحق}. فقال سعيد قراتها على ابن عباس كما قراتها على. فقال هذه مكية نسختها اية مدنية، التي في سورة النساء

Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair:The people of Kufa differed as regards the killing of a believer so I entered upon Ibn `Abbas (and asked him) about that. Ibn `Abbas said, "The Verse (in Surat-An-Nisa', 4:93) was the last thing revealed in this respect and nothing cancelled its validity

حدثني محمد بن بشار، حدثنا غندر، حدثنا شعبة، عن المغيرة بن النعمان، عن سعيد بن جبير، قال اختلف اهل الكوفة في قتل المومن، فرحلت فيه الى ابن عباس، فقال نزلت في اخر ما نزل ولم ينسخها شىء

Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair:I asked Ibn `Abbas about Allah's saying:-- '.. this reward is Hell Fire.' (4.93) He said, "No repentance is accepted from him (i.e. the murderer of a believer)." I asked him regarding the saying of Allah: 'Those who invoke not with Allah any other god.' ...(25.68) He said, "This Verse was revealed concerning the pagans of the pre-Islamic period

حدثنا ادم، حدثنا شعبة، حدثنا منصور، عن سعيد بن جبير، قال سالت ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما عن قوله تعالى {فجزاوه جهنم} قال لا توبة له. وعن قوله جل ذكره {لا يدعون مع الله الها اخر} قال كانت هذه في الجاهلية

Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair:Ibn Abza said to me, "Ask Ibn `Abbas regarding the Statement of Allah: 'And whoever murders a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell.' (4.69) And also His Statement: '...nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause .....except those who repent, believe, and do good deeds.' " (25.68-70) So I asked Ibn `Abbas and he said, "When this (25.68-69) was revealed, the people of Mecca said, "We have invoked other gods with Allah, and we have murdered such lives which Allah has made sacred, and we have committed illegal sexual intercourse. So Allah revealed: 'Except those who repent, believe, and do good deeds and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful

حدثنا سعد بن حفص، حدثنا شيبان، عن منصور، عن سعيد بن جبير، قال قال ابن ابزى سل ابن عباس عن قوله تعالى {ومن يقتل مومنا متعمدا فجزاوه جهنم} وقوله {لا يقتلون النفس التي حرم الله الا بالحق} حتى بلغ {الا من تاب} فسالته فقال لما نزلت قال اهل مكة فقد عدلنا بالله وقتلنا النفس التي حرم الله الا بالحق واتينا الفواحش، فانزل الله {الا من تاب وامن وعمل عملا صالحا} الى قوله {غفورا رحيما}

Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair:`Abdur-Rahman bin Abza ordered me to ask Ibn `Abbas regarding the two Verses (the first of which was ): "And whosoever murders a believer intentionally." (4.93) So I asked him, and he said, "Nothing has abrogated this Verse." About (the other Verse): 'And those who invoke not with Allah any other god.' he said, "It was revealed concerning the pagans

حدثنا عبدان، اخبرنا ابي، عن شعبة، عن منصور، عن سعيد بن جبير، قال امرني عبد الرحمن بن ابزى ان اسال ابن عباس، عن هاتين الايتين، {ومن يقتل مومنا متعمدا}، فسالته فقال لم ينسخها شىء. وعن {والذين لا يدعون مع الله الها اخر} قال نزلت في اهل الشرك

Narrated `Abdullah:Five (great events) have passed: the Smoke, the Moon, the Romans, the Mighty grasp and the constant Punishment which occurs in 'So the torment will be yours forever

حدثنا عمر بن حفص بن غياث، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا الاعمش، حدثنا مسلم، عن مسروق، قال قال عبد الله خمس قد مضين الدخان والقمر والروم والبطشة واللزام {فسوف يكون لزاما}

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection Abraham will see his father covered with Qatara and Ghabara. (i.e. having a dark face)

وقال ابراهيم بن طهمان عن ابن ابي ذيب، عن سعيد بن ابي سعيد المقبري، عن ابيه، عن ابي هريرة رضى الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " ان ابراهيم عليه الصلاة والسلام راى اباه يوم القيامة عليه الغبرة والقترة ". الغبرة هي القترة

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Abraham will meet his father (on the Day of Resurrection) and will say, 'O my Lord! You promised me that You would not let me in disgrace on the Day when people will be resurrected.' Allah will say, 'I have forbidden Paradise to the non-believers

حدثنا اسماعيل، حدثنا اخي، عن ابن ابي ذيب، عن سعيد المقبري، عن ابي هريرة رضى الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " يلقى ابراهيم اباه فيقول يا رب انك وعدتني ان لا تخزني يوم يبعثون فيقول الله اني حرمت الجنة على الكافرين

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:When the Verse:--'And warn your tribe of near-kindred, was revealed, the Prophet (ﷺ) ascended the Safa (mountain) and started calling, "O Bani Fihr! O Bani `Adi!" addressing various tribes of Quraish till they were assembled. Those who could not come themselves, sent their messengers to see what was there. Abu Lahab and other people from Quraish came and the Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Suppose I told you that there is an (enemy) cavalry in the valley intending to attack you, would you believe me?" They said, "Yes, for we have not found you telling anything other than the truth." He then said, "I am a warner to you in face of a terrific punishment." Abu Lahab said (to the Prophet) "May your hands perish all this day. Is it for this purpose you have gathered us?" Then it was revealed: "Perish the hands of Abu Lahab (one of the Prophet's uncles), and perish he! His wealth and his children will not profit him

حدثنا عمر بن حفص بن غياث، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا الاعمش، قال حدثني عمرو بن مرة، عن سعيد بن جبير، عن ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما قال لما نزلت {وانذر عشيرتك الاقربين} صعد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على الصفا فجعل ينادي " يا بني فهر، يا بني عدي ". لبطون قريش حتى اجتمعوا، فجعل الرجل اذا لم يستطع ان يخرج ارسل رسولا لينظر ما هو، فجاء ابو لهب وقريش فقال " ارايتكم لو اخبرتكم ان خيلا بالوادي تريد ان تغير عليكم، اكنتم مصدقي ". قالوا نعم، ما جربنا عليك الا صدقا. قال " فاني نذير لكم بين يدى عذاب شديد ". فقال ابو لهب تبا لك ساير اليوم، الهذا جمعتنا فنزلت {تبت يدا ابي لهب وتب * ما اغنى عنه ماله وما كسب}

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up when the Verse:--'And warn your tribe of near kindred...." (26.214) was revealed and said, "O Quraish people! (or he said a similar word) Buy yourselves! I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey Him) O Bani Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey Him). O `Abbas, the son of `Abdul Muttalib! I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey Him). O Safiya, (the aunt of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey Him). O Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad! Ask what you wish from my property, but I cannot save you from Allah (if you disobey Him)

حدثنا ابو اليمان، اخبرنا شعيب، عن الزهري، قال اخبرني سعيد بن المسيب، وابو سلمة بن عبد الرحمن ان ابا هريرة، قال قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين انزل الله {وانذر عشيرتك الاقربين} قال " يا معشر قريش او كلمة نحوها اشتروا انفسكم، لا اغني عنكم من الله شييا، يا بني عبد مناف، لا اغني عنكم من الله شييا، يا عباس بن عبد المطلب، لا اغني عنك من الله شييا، ويا صفية عمة رسول الله، لا اغني عنك من الله شييا ويا فاطمة بنت محمد سليني ما شيت من مالي، لا اغني عنك من الله شييا ". تابعه اصبغ عن ابن وهب عن يونس عن ابن شهاب

Narrated Al-Musaiyab:When Abu Talib was on his death bed, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to him and found with him, Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, a sentence with which I will defend you before Allah." On that Abu Jahl and `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said to Abu Talib, "Will you now leave the religion of `Abdul Muttalib?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept on inviting him to say that sentence while the other two kept on repeating their sentence before him till Abu Talib said as the last thing he said to them, "I am on the religion of `Abdul Muttalib," and refused to say: None has the right to be worshipped except Allah. On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed:-- 'It is not fitting for the Prophet (ﷺ) and those who believe that they should invoke (Allah) for forgiveness for pagans.' (9.113) And then Allah revealed especially about Abu Talib:--'Verily! You (O, Muhammad) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He will

حدثنا ابو اليمان، اخبرنا شعيب، عن الزهري، قال اخبرني سعيد بن المسيب، عن ابيه، قال لما حضرت ابا طالب الوفاة جاءه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فوجد عنده ابا جهل وعبد الله بن ابي امية بن المغيرة، فقال " اى عم قل لا اله الا الله، كلمة احاج لك بها عند الله ". فقال ابو جهل وعبد الله بن ابي امية اترغب عن ملة عبد المطلب فلم يزل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعرضها عليه، ويعيدانه بتلك المقالة حتى قال ابو طالب اخر ما كلمهم على ملة عبد المطلب، وابى ان يقول لا اله الا الله. قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " والله لاستغفرن لك ما لم انه عنك ". فانزل الله {ما كان للنبي والذين امنوا ان يستغفروا للمشركين} وانزل الله في ابي طالب، فقال لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم {انك لا تهدي من احببت ولكن الله يهدي من يشاء}. قال ابن عباس {اولي القوة} لا يرفعها العصبة من الرجال. {لتنوء} لتثقل. {فارغا} الا من ذكر موسى. {الفرحين} المرحين. {قصيه} اتبعي اثره، وقد يكون ان يقص الكلام {نحن نقص عليك}. {عن جنب} عن بعد عن جنابة واحد، وعن اجتناب ايضا، يبطش ويبطش. {ياتمرون} يتشاورون. العدوان والعداء والتعدي واحد. {انس} ابصر. الجذوة قطعة غليظة من الخشب، ليس فيها لهب، والشهاب فيه لهب. والحيات اجناس الجان والافاعي والاساود. {ردءا} معينا. قال ابن عباس {يصدقني} وقال غيره {سنشد} سنعينك كلما عززت شييا فقد جعلت له عضدا. مقبوحين مهلكين. {وصلنا} بيناه واتممناه. {يجبى} يجلب .{بطرت} اشرت. {في امها رسولا} ام القرى مكة وما حولها. {تكن} تخفي. اكننت الشىء اخفيته، وكننته اخفيته واظهرته. {ويكان الله} مثل الم تر ان الله {يبسط الرزق لمن يشاء ويقدر} يوسع عليه ويضيق عليه

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:Qur'an 28.85'...will bring you home' means to Mecca

حدثنا محمد بن مقاتل، اخبرنا يعلى، حدثنا سفيان العصفري، عن عكرمة، عن ابن عباس، {لرادك الى معاد} قال الى مكة
