Hadith 1:55
Narrated Ziyad bin'Ilaqa:
I heard Jarir bin 'Abdullah (Praising Allah). On the day when Al-Mughira bin
Shu'ba died, he (Jarir) got up (on the pulpit) and thanked and praised Allah and
said, "Be afraid of Allah alone Who has none along with Him to be
worshipped.(You should) be calm and quiet till the (new) chief comes to you and
he will come to you soon. Ask Allah's forgiveness for your (late) chief because
he himself loved to forgive others." Jarir added, "Amma badu (now then), I went
to the Prophet and said, 'I give my pledge of allegiance to you for Islam." The
Prophet conditioned (my pledge) for me to be sincere and true to every Muslim so
I gave my pledge to him for this. By the Lord of this mosque! I am sincere and
true to you (Muslims). Then Jarir asked for Allah's forgiveness and came down
(from the pulpit).
Hadith 1:56
Narrated Abu Huraira:
While the Prophet was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked
him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle continued his
talk, so some people said that Allah's Apostle had heard the question, but did
not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Alllah's Apostle
had not heard it. When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, "Where is the
questioner, who enquired about the Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am
here, O Allah's Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then
wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The
Prophet said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons,
then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"

O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "It is the date-palm true."

reclining on his arm." The an then addressed him, "O Son of 'Abdul Muttalib."
The Prophet said, "I am here to answer your questions." The man said to the
Prophet, "I want to ask you something and will be hard in questioning. So do not
get angry." The Prophet said, "Ask whatever you want." The man said, "I ask you
by your Lord, and the Lord of those who were before you, has Allah sent you as
an Apostle to all the mankind?" The Prophet replied, "By Allah, yes." The man
further said, "I ask you by Allah. Has Allah ordered you to offer five prayers
in a day and night (24 hours).? He replied, "By Allah, Yes." The man further
said, "I ask you by Allah! Has Allah ordered you to observe fasts during this
month of the year (i.e. Ramadan)?" He replied, "By Allah, Yes." The man further

While Allah's Apostle was sitting in the mosque with some people, three men
came. Two of them came in front of Allah's Apostle and the third one went away.
The two persons kept on standing before Allah's Apostle for a while and then one
of them found a place in the circle and sat there while the other sat behind the
gathering, and the third one went away. When Allah's Apostle finished his
preaching, he said, "Shall I tell you about these three persons? One of them
be-took himself to Allah, so Allah took him into His grace and mercy and
accommodated him, the second felt shy from Allah, so Allah sheltered Him in His
mercy (and did not punish him), while the third turned his face from Allah and
went away, so Allah turned His face from him likewise. "

Narrated 'Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakra's father:
Once the Prophet was riding his camel and a man was holding its rein. The
Prophet asked, "What is the day today?" We kept quiet, thinking that he might
give that day another name. He said, "Isn't it the day of Nahr (slaughtering of
the animals of sacrifice)" We replied, "Yes." He further asked, "Which month is
this?" We again kept quiet, thinking that he might give it another name. Then he
said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "Verily!
Your blood, property and honor are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the
sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and in this city of yours.
It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform those who are absent
because those who are absent might comprehend (what I have said) better than the
present audience."

(of them) I kept quiet. And then the Prophet said, "It is the date-palm tree."

according to it and teaches it to others." (Fateh-al-Bari page 177 Vol. 1)
Hadith 1:74
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
That he differed with Hur bin Qais bin Hisn Al-Fazari regarding the companion of
(the Prophet) Moses. Ibn 'Abbas said that he was Khadir. Meanwhile, Ubai bin
Ka'b passed by them and Ibn 'Abbas called him, saying "My friend (Hur) and I
have differed regarding Moses' companion whom Moses, asked the way to meet. Have
you heard the Prophet mentioning something about him? He said, "Yes. I heard
Allah's Apostle saying, "While Moses was sitting in the company of some
Israelites, a man came and asked him. "Do you know anyone who is more learned
than you? Moses replied: "No." So Allah sent the Divine Inspiration to Moses:
'Yes, Our slave Khadir (is more learned than you.)' Moses asked (Allah) how to
meet him (Khadir). So Allah made the fish as a sign for him and he was told that
when the fish was lost, he should return (to the place where he had lost it) and
there he would meet him (Al-Khadir). So Moses went on looking for the sign of
the fish in the sea. The servant-boy of Moses said to him: Do you remember when
we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish, none but Satan made
me forget to remember it. On that Moses said: 'That is what we have been
seeking? (18.64) So they went back retracing their foot-steps, and found Khadir.
(And) what happened further to them is narrated in the Holy Qur'an by Allah.
(18.54 up to 18.82)
