Sahih Muslim — Faith

It is narrated on the authority of Abdullah that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying:He who took an oath in order to entitle himself (to the possession) of a property, whereas he is a liar, would meet Allah in a state that He would be very much angry with him. Then the remaining part of the hadith was narrated as transmitted by A'mash but with the exception of these words: There was a dispute between me and another person in regard to a well. We referred this dispute to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Upon this he remarked: Either (you should produce) two witnesses (to support your contention) or his oath (would be accepted as valid)

حدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، اخبرنا جرير، عن منصور، عن ابي وايل، عن عبد الله، قال من حلف على يمين يستحق بها مالا هو فيها فاجر لقي الله وهو عليه غضبان . ثم ذكر نحو حديث الاعمش غير انه قال كانت بيني وبين رجل خصومة في بير فاختصمنا الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال " شاهداك او يمينه

Ibn Mas'ud says:I heard the Messenger of Allah observing: He who took an oath on the property of a Muslim without legitimate right would meet Allah and He would be angry, with him. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in support of his contention recited the verse:" Verily those who barter Allah's covenant and their oaths at a small price

وحدثنا ابن ابي عمر المكي، حدثنا سفيان، عن جامع بن ابي راشد، وعبد الملك بن اعين، سمعا شقيق بن سلمة، يقول سمعت ابن مسعود، يقول سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " من حلف على مال امري مسلم بغير حقه لقي الله وهو عليه غضبان " قال عبد الله ثم قرا علينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مصداقه من كتاب الله { ان الذين يشترون بعهد الله وايمانهم ثمنا قليلا} الى اخر الاية

It is narrated on the authority of Wa'il that there came a person from Hadramaut and another one from Kinda to the Apostle (ﷺ). One who had come from Hadramaut said:Messenger of Allah, only this man has appropriated my land which belonged to my father. The one who had came from Kinda contended. This is my land and is in my possession: I cultivate it. There is no right for him in it. The Messenger of Allah said to the Hadramite: Have you any evidence (to support you)? He replied in the negative. He (the Messenger of Allah) said: Then your case is to be decided on his oath. He (the Hadramite) said: Messenger of Allah, he is a liar and cares not what he swears and has no regard for anything. Upon this he (the Messenger of Allah) remarked: For you then there is no other help to it. He (the man from Kinda) set out to take an oath. When he turned his back the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed: If he took an oath on his property with a view to usurping it, he would certainly meet his Lord in a state that He would turn away from him

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، وابو بكر بن ابي شيبة وهناد بن السري وابو عاصم الحنفي - واللفظ لقتيبة - قالوا حدثنا ابو الاحوص، عن سماك، عن علقمة بن وايل، عن ابيه، قال جاء رجل من حضرموت ورجل من كندة الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال الحضرمي يا رسول الله ان هذا قد غلبني على ارض لي كانت لابي . فقال الكندي هي ارضي في يدي ازرعها ليس له فيها حق . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم للحضرمي " الك بينة " . قال لا . قال " فلك يمينه " . قال يا رسول الله ان الرجل فاجر لا يبالي على ما حلف عليه وليس يتورع من شىء . فقال " ليس لك منه الا ذلك " فانطلق ليحلف فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لما ادبر " اما لين حلف على ماله لياكله ظلما ليلقين الله وهو عنه معرض

Wa'il reported it on the authority of his father Hujr:I was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that two men came there disputing over a piece of land. One of them said: Messenger of Allah, this man appropriated my land without justification in the days of ignorance. The (claimant) was Imru'l-Qais b. 'Abis al-Kindi and his opponent was Rabi'a b. 'Iban He (the Holy Prophet) said (to the claimant): Have you evidence (to substantiate your claim)? He replied: I have no evidence. Upon this he (the Messenger of Allah) remarked: Then his (that is of the defendant) is the oath. He (the claimant) said: In this case he (the defendant) would appropriate this (the property). He (the Holy Prophet) said: There is than no other way left for you but this. He (the narrator) said: When he (the defendant) stood up to take oath, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who appropriated the land wrongfully would meet Allah in a state that He would be angry with him. Ishaq in his narration mentions Rabi'a b. 'Aidan (instead of Rabi'a b. 'Ibdan)

وحدثني زهير بن حرب، واسحاق بن ابراهيم، جميعا عن ابي الوليد، قال زهير حدثنا هشام بن عبد الملك، حدثنا ابو عوانة، عن عبد الملك بن عمير، عن علقمة بن وايل، عن وايل بن حجر، قال كنت عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاتاه رجلان يختصمان في ارض فقال احدهما ان هذا انتزى على ارضي يا رسول الله في الجاهلية - وهو امرو القيس بن عابس الكندي وخصمه ربيعة بن عبدان - قال " بينتك " . قال ليس لي بينة . قال " يمينه " . قال اذا يذهب بها . قال " ليس لك الا ذاك " . قال فلما قام ليحلف قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " من اقتطع ارضا ظالما لقي الله وهو عليه غضبان " . قال اسحاق في روايته ربيعة بن عيدان

Abu Huraira reported:A person came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, what do you think if a man comes to me in order to appropriate my possession? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Don't surrender your possession to him. He (the inquirer) said: If he fights me? He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: Then fight (with him). He (the inquirer) again said: What do you think if I am killed? He (the Holy Prophet) observed: You would be a martyr. He (the inquirer) said: What do you think of him (Messenger of Allah) If I kill him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: he would be in the Fire

حدثني ابو كريب، محمد بن العلاء حدثنا خالد، - يعني ابن مخلد - حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، عن العلاء بن عبد الرحمن، عن ابيه، عن ابي هريرة، قال جاء رجل الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله ارايت ان جاء رجل يريد اخذ مالي قال " فلا تعطه مالك " . قال ارايت ان قاتلني قال " قاتله " . قال ارايت ان قتلني قال " فانت شهيد " . قال ارايت ان قتلته قال " هو في النار

It is narrated on the authority of Thabit, that when 'Abdullah b. 'Amr and 'Anbasa b. Abi Sufyan were about to fight against each other, Khalid b. 'As rode to 'Abdullah b. 'Amr and persuaded him (not to do so). Upon this Abdullah b. 'Amr said:Are you not aware that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had observed:" He who died in protecting his property is a martyr

حدثني الحسن بن علي الحلواني، واسحاق بن منصور، ومحمد بن رافع، - والفاظهم متقاربة - قال اسحاق اخبرنا وقال الاخران، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، اخبرنا ابن جريج، قال اخبرني سليمان الاحول، ان ثابتا، مولى عمر بن عبد الرحمن اخبره انه، لما كان بين عبد الله بن عمرو وبين عنبسة بن ابي سفيان ما كان تيسروا للقتال فركب خالد بن العاص الى عبد الله بن عمرو فوعظه خالد فقال عبد الله بن عمرو اما علمت ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " من قتل دون ماله فهو شهيد

This hadith has been narrated by Muhammad b. Hatim, Muhammad b. Bakr, Ahmad b. 'Uthman Naufali, Abu 'Asim, Ibn Juraij

وحدثنيه محمد بن حاتم، حدثنا محمد بن بكر، ح وحدثنا احمد بن عثمان النوفلي، حدثنا ابو عاصم، كلاهما عن ابن جريج، بهذا الاسناد مثله

Hasan reported:'Ubaidullah b. Ziyad paid a visit to Ma'qil b. Yasar Muzani in his illness of which he (later on) died. (At this juncture) Ma'qil said: I am going to narrate to you a hadith which I have heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and which I would not have transmitted if I knew that I would survive. Verily I have heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: There is none amongst the bondsmen who was entrusted with the affairs of his subjects and he died in such a state that he was dishonest in his dealings with those over whom he ruled that the Paradise is not forbidden for him

حدثنا شيبان بن فروخ، حدثنا ابو الاشهب، عن الحسن، قال عاد عبيد الله بن زياد معقل بن يسار المزني في مرضه الذي مات فيه . قال معقل اني محدثك حديثا سمعته من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لو علمت ان لي حياة ما حدثتك اني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " ما من عبد يسترعيه الله رعية يموت يوم يموت وهو غاش لرعيته الا حرم الله عليه الجنة

Hasan reported:Ubaidullah b. Ziyad went to see Ma'qil b. Yasir and he was ailing. He ('Ubaidullah) inquired (about his health) to which he (Ma'qil) replied: I am narrating to you a hadith which I avoided narrating to you (before). Verily the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed: Allah does not entrust to his bondsman the responsibility of managing the affairs of his subjects and he dies as a dishonest (ruler) but Paradise is forbidden by Allah for such a (ruler). He (Ibn Ziyad) said: Why did you not narrate it to me before this day? He replied: I (in fact) did not narrate it to you as it was not (fit) for me to narrate that to you

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، اخبرنا يزيد بن زريع، عن يونس، عن الحسن، قال دخل عبيد الله بن زياد على معقل بن يسار وهو وجع فساله فقال اني محدثك حديثا لم اكن حدثتكه ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " لا يسترعي الله عبدا رعية يموت حين يموت وهو غاش لها الا حرم الله عليه الجنة " . قال الا كنت حدثتني هذا قبل اليوم قال ما حدثتك او لم اكن لاحدثك

Hasan reported:We were with Ma'qil b. Yasar inquiring about his health that Ubaidullah b. Ziyad came there. Ma'qil said to him: Verily I am going to narrate to you a hadith which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Then he narrated the hadith like those two (mentioned above)

وحدثني القاسم بن زكرياء، حدثنا حسين، - يعني الجعفي - عن زايدة، عن هشام، قال قال الحسن كنا عند معقل بن يسار نعوده فجاء عبيد الله بن زياد فقال له معقل اني ساحدثك حديثا سمعته من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم ذكر بمعنى حديثهما

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Malih that Ubaidullah b. Ziyad visited Ma'qil b. Yasar in his illness. Ma'qil said to him:I am narrating to you a hadith which I would have never narrated to you had I not been in death-bed. I heard Allah's apostle (ﷺ) say: A ruler who has been entrusted with the affairs of the Muslims but he makes no endeavors ( for the material and moral uplift) and does not sincerely mean (their welfare) would not enter Paradise along with them

وحدثنا ابو غسان المسمعي، ومحمد بن المثنى، واسحاق بن ابراهيم، قال اسحاق اخبرنا وقال الاخران، حدثنا معاذ بن هشام، قال حدثني ابي، عن قتادة، عن ابي المليح، ان عبيد الله بن زياد، عاد معقل بن يسار في مرضه فقال له معقل اني محدثك بحديث لولا اني في الموت لم احدثك به سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " ما من امير يلي امر المسلمين ثم لا يجهد لهم وينصح الا لم يدخل معهم الجنة

Hudhaifa reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) narrated to us two ahadith. I have seen one (crystallized into reality), and I am waiting for the other. He told us: Trustworthiness descended in the innermost (root) of the hearts of people. Then the Qur'an was revealed and they learnt from the Qur'an and they learnt from the Sunnah. Then he (the Holy Prophet) told us about the removal of trustworthiness. He said: The man would have a wink of sleep and trustworthiness would be taken away from his heart leaving the impression of a faint mark. He would again sleep and trustworthiness would be taken away from his heart leaving an impression of a blister, as if you rolled down an ember on your foot and it was vesicled. He would see a swelling having nothing in it. He (the Holy Prophet) then took up a pebble and rolled it down over his foot and (said): The people would enter into transactions amongst one another and hardly a person would be left who would return (things) entrusted to him. (And there would be so much paucity of honest persons) till it would be said: There in such a such tribe is a trustworthy man. And they would also say about a person: How prudent he is, how broad-minded he is and how intelligent he is, whereas in his heart there would not be faith even to the weight of a mustard seed. I have passed through a time in which I did not care with whom amongst you I entered into a transaction, for if he were a Muslim his faith would compel him to discharge his obligations to me and it he were a Christian or a Jew, the ruler would compel him to discharge his obligations to me. But today I would not enter into a transaction with you except so and so

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا ابو معاوية، ووكيع، ح وحدثنا ابو كريب، حدثنا ابو معاوية، عن الاعمش، عن زيد بن وهب، عن حذيفة، قال حدثنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حديثين قد رايت احدهما وانا انتظر الاخر حدثنا " ان الامانة نزلت في جذر قلوب الرجال ثم نزل القران فعلموا من القران وعلموا من السنة " . ثم حدثنا عن رفع الامانة قال " ينام الرجل النومة فتقبض الامانة من قلبه فيظل اثرها مثل الوكت ثم ينام النومة فتقبض الامانة من قلبه فيظل اثرها مثل المجل كجمر دحرجته على رجلك فنفط فتراه منتبرا وليس فيه شىء - ثم اخذ حصى فدحرجه على رجله - فيصبح الناس يتبايعون لا يكاد احد يودي الامانة حتى يقال ان في بني فلان رجلا امينا . حتى يقال للرجل ما اجلده ما اظرفه ما اعقله وما في قلبه مثقال حبة من خردل من ايمان " . ولقد اتى على زمان وما ابالي ايكم بايعت لين كان مسلما ليردنه على دينه ولين كان نصرانيا او يهوديا ليردنه على ساعيه واما اليوم فما كنت لابايع منكم الا فلانا وفلانا

It is narrated on the authority of Hudhaifa:We were sitting in the company of Umar and he said: Who amongst you has heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) talking about the turmoil? Some people said: It is we who heard it. Upon this be remarked: Perhaps by turmoil you presume the unrest of man in regard to his household or neighbour, they replied: Yes. He ('Umar) observed: Such (an unrest) would be done away with by prayer, fasting and charity. But who amongst you has heard from the Apostle (ﷺ) describing that turmoil which would come like the wave of the ocean. Hudhaifa said: The people hushed into silence, I replied: It is I. He ('Umar) said: Ye, well, your father was also very pious. Hudhaifa said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be, upon him ) observing: Temptations will be presented to men's hearts as reed mat is woven stick by stick and any heart which is impregnated by them will have a black mark put into it, but any heart which rejects them will have a white mark put in it. The result is that there will become two types of hearts: one white like a white stone which will not be harmed by any turmoil or temptation, so long as the heavens and the earth endure; and the other black and dust-coloured like a vessel which is upset, not recognizing what is good or rejecting what is abominable, but being impregnated with passion. Hudhaifa said: I narrated to him ('Umar): There is between you and that (turmoil) a closed door, but there is every likelihood of its being broken. 'Umar said: Would it be broken? You have, been rendered fatherless. Had it been opened, it would have been perhaps closed also. I said: No, it would be broken, and I narrated to him: Verily that door implies a person who would be killed or die. There is no mistake in this hadith. Abu Khalid narrated: I said to Sa'd, O Abu Malik, what do you mean by the term" Aswad Murbadda"? He replied: High degree of whiteness in blackness. I said: What is meant by" Alkoozu Mujakhiyyan"? He replied: A vessel turned upside down

وحدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير، حدثنا ابو خالد، - يعني سليمان بن حيان - عن سعد بن طارق، عن ربعي، عن حذيفة، قال كنا عند عمر فقال ايكم سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يذكر الفتن فقال قوم نحن سمعناه . فقال لعلكم تعنون فتنة الرجل في اهله وجاره قالوا اجل . قال تلك تكفرها الصلاة والصيام والصدقة ولكن ايكم سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يذكر الفتن التي تموج موج البحر قال حذيفة فاسكت القوم فقلت انا . قال انت لله ابوك . قال حذيفة سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " تعرض الفتن على القلوب كالحصير عودا عودا فاى قلب اشربها نكت فيه نكتة سوداء واى قلب انكرها نكت فيه نكتة بيضاء حتى تصير على قلبين على ابيض مثل الصفا فلا تضره فتنة ما دامت السموات والارض والاخر اسود مربادا كالكوز مجخيا لا يعرف معروفا ولا ينكر منكرا الا ما اشرب من هواه " . قال حذيفة وحدثته ان بينك وبينها بابا مغلقا يوشك ان يكسر . قال عمر اكسرا لا ابا لك فلو انه فتح لعله كان يعاد . قلت لا بل يكسر . وحدثته ان ذلك الباب رجل يقتل او يموت . حديثا ليس بالاغاليط . قال ابو خالد فقلت لسعد يا ابا مالك ما اسود مربادا قال شدة البياض في سواد . قال قلت فما الكوز مجخيا قال منكوسا

It is narrated on the authority of Rib'i (b. Hirash). When Hudhaifa came from 'Umar he sat down to narrate to us and said:Verily yesterday when I was sitting with the Commander of the believers he asked his companions: When amongst you retains in his memory the utterance of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with regard to the turmoil? -and he cited the hadith like the hadith narrated on the authority of Abu Khalid, but he did not mention the exposition of his words (Murbaddan) and (Mujakhiyyan)

وحدثني ابن ابي عمر، حدثنا مروان الفزاري، حدثنا ابو مالك الاشجعي، عن ربعي، قال لما قدم حذيفة من عند عمر جلس فحدثنا فقال ان امير المومنين امس لما جلست اليه سال اصحابه ايكم يحفظ قول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في الفتن وساق الحديث بمثل حديث ابي خالد ولم يذكر تفسير ابي مالك لقوله " مربادا مجخيا

It is transmitted by Rib'i b. Hirash. who narrated it on the authority of Hudhaifa that verily 'Umar said:Who would narrate to us or who amongst you would narrate to us (and Hudhaifa was one amongst them) what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said about the turmoil? Hudhaifa said: I will, and recited the hadith like that transmitted by Abu Malik on the authority of Rib'i and he observed in connection with this hadith that Hudhaifa remarked: I am narrating to you a hadith and it has no mistake, and said: That it is transmitted from he Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)

It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar ('Abdullah b. 'Umar) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed:Verily Islam started as something strange and it would again revert (to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede between the two mosques just as the serpent crawls back into its hole

وحدثني محمد بن رافع، والفضل بن سهل الاعرج، قالا حدثنا شبابة بن سوار، حدثنا عاصم، - وهو ابن محمد العمري - عن ابيه، عن ابن عمر، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " ان الاسلام بدا غريبا وسيعود غريبا كما بدا وهو يارز بين المسجدين كما تارز الحية في جحرها
