from the Prophet ﷺ, in what he relates from Allah ﷻ that He said:

“(1) O My servants, I have forbidden wrongdoing/oppression for Myself, and I have made it forbidden among you, so do not wrong one another. (2) O My servants, all of you are astray except those whom I guide, so seek guidance from Me and I will guide you. (3) O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I feed, so ask Me for food and I will feed you. (4) O My servants, all of you are unclothed except those whom I clothe, so ask Me for clothing and I will clothe you.”

“(5) O My servants, you commit sins by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek My forgiveness and I will forgive you. (6) O My servants, you will never reach harming Me so as to harm Me, and you will never reach benefiting Me so as to benefit Me.”

“(7) O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, your humans and your jinn, were all upon the most God-fearing heart of any one man among you, that would not increase My dominion in anything. (8) O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, your humans and your jinn, were all upon the most wicked heart of any one man, that would not decrease My dominion in anything.”

“(9) O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, your humans and your jinn, were all to stand in one open plain and ask Me, and I were to give every person what he asked, that would not diminish what is with Me except as a needle diminishes ˹the sea˺ when it is dipped into the ocean.”

“(10) O My servants, these are only your deeds: I record them for you, then I will repay you for them in full. So whoever finds good, let him praise Allah; and whoever finds other than that, let him blame none but himself.”

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فِيمَا رَوَى عَنِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، أَنَّهُ قَالَ:

«(١) يَا عِبَادِي، إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي، وَجَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا، فَلَا تَظَالَمُوا. (٢) يَا عِبَادِي، كُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إِلَّا مَنْ هَدَيْتُهُ، فَاسْتَهْدُونِي أَهْدِكُمْ. (٣) يَا عِبَادِي، كُلُّكُمْ جَائِعٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَطْعَمْتُهُ، فَاسْتَطْعِمُونِي أُطْعِمْكُمْ. (٤) يَا عِبَادِي، كُلُّكُمْ عَارٍ إِلَّا مَنْ كَسَوْتُهُ، فَاسْتَكْسُونِي أَكْسُكُمْ».

«(٥) يَا عِبَادِي، إِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، وَأَنَا أَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا، فَاسْتَغْفِرُونِي أَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ. (٦) يَا عِبَادِي، إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَبْلُغُوا ضَرِّي فَتَضُرُّونِي، وَلَنْ تَبْلُغُوا نَفْعِي فَتَنْفَعُونِي».

«(٧) يَا عِبَادِي، لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ، وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ، كَانُوا عَلَى أَتْقَى قَلْبِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ، مَا زَادَ ذَلِكَ فِي مُلْكِي شَيْئًا. (٨) يَا عِبَادِي، لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ، وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ، كَانُوا عَلَى أَفْجَرِ قَلْبِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ، مَا نَقَصَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مُلْكِي شَيْئًا».

«(٩) يَا عِبَادِي، لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ، وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ، قَامُوا فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ، فَسَأَلُونِي، فَأَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ مَسْأَلَتَهُ، مَا نَقَصَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا عِنْدِي إِلَّا كَمَا يَنْقُصُ الْمِخْيَطُ إِذَا أُدْخِلَ الْبَحْرَ».

«(١٠) يَا عِبَادِي، إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ، أُحْصِيهَا لَكُمْ، ثُمَّ أُوَفِّيكُمْ إِيَّاهَا. فَمَنْ وَجَدَ خَيْرًا فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ، وَمَنْ وَجَدَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Beware of wrongdoing/oppression, for wrongdoing will become darknesses on the Day of Judgement. And beware of miserly greed, for miserly greed destroyed those who came before you: it drove them to shed one another’s blood and ˹make invading˺ their ˹personal˺ sanctity as lawful.”

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «اتَّقُوا الظُّلْمَ، فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ. وَاتَّقُوا الشُّحَّ، فَإِنَّ الشُّحَّ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ: حَمَلَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ سَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَاسْتَحَلُّوا مَحَارِمَهُمْ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “You will surely give rights back to those entitled to them on the Day of Judgement, until even retaliation is taken for the hornless sheep from the horned sheep.”

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «لَتُؤَدُّنَّ الْحُقُوقَ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُقَادَ لِلشَّاةِ الْجَلْحَاءِ مِنَ الشَّاةِ الْقَرْنَاءِ».

We were speaking about the Farewell Pilgrimage while the Prophet ﷺ was among us, and we did not know what the Farewell Pilgrimage was. He praised Allah and extolled Him, then he mentioned the Dajjal (False Messiah) and spoke at length about him.

He said: “Allah did not send any prophet except that he warned his nation; Noah warned of him, and the prophets after him. And he will appear among you. Whatever of his affair may be hidden from you, it will not be hidden from you that your Lord is not such as may be hidden from you.” Then he said three times: “Indeed, your Lord is not one-eyed, and indeed he (the Dajjal) is blind in his right eye, as if his eye were a floating grape.”

Then he said: “Indeed, Allah has forbidden for you your blood and your wealth, as sacred as this day of yours, in this land of yours, in this month of yours. Have I conveyed ˹the message˺?” They said: Yes. He said: “O Allah, bear witness,” three times. Then he said: “Woe to you” –or “woe be upon you”– “beware: do not turn after me into disbelievers, striking the necks of one another.”

كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ بِحَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ، وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا، وَلَا نَدْرِي مَا حَجَّةُ الْوَدَاعِ. فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ، فَأَطْنَبَ فِي ذِكْرِهِ، 

وَقَالَ: «مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا أَنْذَرَ أُمَّتَهُ، أَنْذَرَهُ نُوحٌ وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ. وَإِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ فِيكُمْ، فَمَا خَفِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ شَأْنِهِ، فَلَيْسَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْكُمْ أَنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَيْسَ عَلَى مَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكُمْ». ثُمَّ قَالَ ثَلَاثًا: «إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ، وَإِنَّهُ أَعْوَرُ عَيْنِ الْيُمْنَى، كَأَنَّ عَيْنَهُ عِنَبَةٌ طَافِيَةٌ».

ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ دِمَاءَكُمْ، وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ، كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا. أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟». قَالُوا: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ»، ثَلَاثًا. ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَيْلَكُمْ، أَوْ وَيْحَكُمْ، انْظُرُوا، لَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا، يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ».

There was a dispute between him and some people, so he mentioned it to Aishah. She said: O Abū Salamah, avoid ˹taking anything of the˺ land, for the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever wrongfully takes even a handspan of land will be encircled with it with the seven earths."

أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ خُصُومَةٌ. فَذَكَرَ لِعَائِشَةَ ؓ, فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا سَلَمَةَ اجْتَنِبِ الأَرْضَ, فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ ظَلَمَ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ طُوِّقَهُ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Indeed, Allah grants respite to the wrongdoer until, when He seizes him, He does not let him escape.” Then he recited: “And thus is the seizing of your Lord when He seizes the towns while they are wrongdoing. Indeed, His seizing is painful and severe.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُمْلِي لِلظَّالِمِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْهُ»، قَالَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ﴿وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ﴾»*.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Muadh b. Jabal when he sent him to Yemen: “You will come to a people from the People of the Book. When you reach them, call them to testify that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. If they obey you in that, then inform them that Allah has made obligatory upon them five prayers in every day and night.”

“If they obey you in that, then inform them that Allah has made obligatory upon them a charity to be taken from their rich and returned to their poor. If they obey you in that, then beware of taking the best of their wealth, and fear the dua of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، حِينَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ: «إِنَّكَ سَتَأْتِي قَوْمًا أَهْلَ كِتَابٍ، فَإِذَا جِئْتَهُمْ فَادْعُهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ. فَإِنْ هُمْ أَطَاعُوا لَكَ بِذَلِكَ، فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ».

«فَإِنْ هُمْ أَطَاعُوا لَكَ بِذَلِكَ، فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَغْنِيَائِهِمْ، فَتُرَدُّ عَلَى فُقَرَائِهِمْ. فَإِنْ هُمْ أَطَاعُوا لَكَ بِذَلِكَ، فَإِيَّاكَ وَكَرَائِمَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ، وَاتَّقِ دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ حِجَابٌ».

The Prophet ﷺ appointed a man from al-Azd, called Ibn al-Lutbiyyah, to collect the charity (zakah). When he returned, he said: “This is for you, and this was given to me as a gift.” He said: “Why didn’t he sit in his father’s house or his mother’s house and see whether he would be given gifts or not? By the One in Whose hand is my soul, no one takes anything from it except that he will come with it on the Day of Judgement carrying it on his neck: if it is a camel, it will be bellowing; or a cow, it will be mooing; or a sheep, it will be bleating.”

Then he raised his hand until we could see the whiteness of his armpit, and he said: “O Allah, have I conveyed ˹the message˺? O Allah, have I conveyed  ˹the message˺?” three times.

اسْتَعْمَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَزْدِ، يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ اللُّتْبِيَّةِ، عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ. فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ قَالَ: هَذَا لَكُمْ، وَهَذَا أُهْدِيَ لِي. قَالَ: «فَهَلَّا جَلَسَ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِيهِ أَوْ بَيْتِ أُمِّهِ، فَيَنْظُرَ أَيُهْدَى لَهُ أَمْ لَا؟ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَا يَأْخُذُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا إِلَّا جَاءَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَحْمِلُهُ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ: إِنْ كَانَ بَعِيرًا لَهُ رُغَاءٌ، أَوْ بَقَرَةً لَهَا خُوَارٌ، أَوْ شَاةً تَيْعَرُ».

ثُمَّ رَفَعَ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا عُفْرَةَ إِبْطَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ، اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ»، ثَلَاثًا.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever has wronged someone with regard to his honor or anything else, let him seek his pardon from him today, before there will be no dinar and no dirham. If he has righteous deeds, some will be taken from him in proportion to his wrongdoing; and if he has no good deeds, some of the other person’s bad deeds will be taken and placed upon him.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ مَظْلَمَةٌ لأَحَدٍ مِنْ عِرْضِهِ أَوْ شَىْءٍ فَلْيَتَحَلَّلْهُ مِنْهُ الْيَوْمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ لاَ يَكُونَ دِينَارٌ وَلاَ دِرْهَمٌ. إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَمَلٌ صَالِحٌ أُخِذَ مِنْهُ بِقَدْرِ مَظْلَمَتِهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٌ أُخِذَ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ صَاحِبِهِ فَحُمِلَ عَلَيْهِ».

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue and hands. And a muhajir (emigrant) is the one who abandons all what Allah has forbidden."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ، وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ».

There was a man in charge of the Prophet’s ﷺ baggage, called Kirkirah, and he died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “He is in the Fire.” So they went to look at him and found a cloak that he had stolen from the booty.

كَانَ عَلَى ثَقَلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ، يُقَالُ لَهُ كِرْكِرَةُ، فَمَاتَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «هُوَ فِي النَّارِ». فَذَهَبُوا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدُوا عَبَاءَةً قَدْ غَلَّهَا.

from the Prophet ﷺ, he said: “Indeed, ˹calendar months˺ have returned to its original state, as it was on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth. The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive—Dhu al-Qa‘dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and al-Muharram—and Rajab of Mudar, which is between the two Jumads and Sha‘ban.”

Then he said: “Which month is this?” We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He remained silent until we thought he would name it by a another name. He said: “Is it not Dhu al-Hijjah?” We said: Yes. He said: “Which land is this?” We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He remained silent until we thought he would name it by another name. He said: “Is it not the Baldah (Sacred Precinct)?” We said: Yes. He said: “Which day is this?” We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He remained silent until we thought he would name it by another name. He said: “Is it not the Day of Sacrifice?” We said: Yes.

He said: *“Indeed, your blood and your wealth” —Muhammad said, and I think he also said— “and your honor are sacred to one another, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this land of yours, in this month of yours. And you will meet your Lord, and He will question you about your deeds. So do not return after me misguided, striking the necks of one another. Let the one who is present convey to the one who is absent, for perhaps some who are informed will comprehend it better than some who heard it.”

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ قَدِ اسْتَدَارَ كَهَيْئَةِ يَوْمِ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ، السَّنَةُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ، ثَلَاثَةٌ مُتَوَالِيَاتٌ: ذُو الْقَعْدَةِ، وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ، وَالْمُحَرَّمُ، وَرَجَبُ مُضَرَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ جُمَادَى وَشَعْبَانَ».

ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا؟» قُلْنَا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ، قَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ ذُو الْحِجَّةِ؟» قُلْنَا: بَلَى. قَالَ: «فَأَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟» قُلْنَا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ، قَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ الْبَلْدَةَ؟» قُلْنَا: بَلَى. قَالَ: «فَأَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟» قُلْنَا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ، قَالَ: «أَلَيْسَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ؟» قُلْنَا: بَلَى.

قَالَ: «فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ» – قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ، وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ – «وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ، عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ، كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا، فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا. وَسَتَلْقَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ، فَسَيَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ، أَلَا فَلَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي ضُلَّالًا، يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ. أَلَا، لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ، فَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَ مَنْ يُبَلَّغُهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever takes away the right of a Muslim person by his (false) oath, Allah has made the Fire obligatory for him and has forbidden Paradise to him.” A man said to him: “Even if it is something insignificant, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Even if it is a twig from an arāk tree.”

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنِ اقْتَطَعَ حَقَّ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِيَمِينِهِ فَقَدْ أَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ النَّارَ وَحَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ»، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: وَإِنْ كَانَ شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «وَإِنْ قَضِيبًا مِنْ أَرَاكٍ».

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Whomever we appoint from among you to a task, and he conceals from us a needle or anything above that, it is misappropriation, which he will bring with him on the Day of Resurrection.”

He said: Then a black man from the Ansar stood up to him —I can still picture him— and said: O Messenger of Allah, relieve me of your assignment. He said: “What is the matter with you?” He said: I heard you say such and such. He said: “And I say it now: Whomever we appoint from among you to a task, let him bring what is little and what is much; whatever he is given from it, he may take, and whatever he is forbidden from, he must refrain.”

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى عَمَلٍ، فَكَتَمَنَا مِخْيَطًا فَمَا فَوْقَهُ، كَانَ غُلُولًا، يَأْتِي بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ».

قَالَ: فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ أَسْوَدُ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اقْبَلْ عَنِّي عَمَلَكَ. قَالَ: «وَمَا لَكَ؟» قَالَ: سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ كَذَا وَكَذَا. قَالَ: «وَأَنَا أَقُولُهُ الْآنَ: مَنِ اسْتَعْمَلْنَاهُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى عَمَلٍ، فَلْيَجِئْ بِقَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ، فَمَا أُوتِيَ مِنْهُ أَخَذَ، وَمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهُ انْتَهَى».

When it was the day of Khaybar, a group of the Prophet’s Companions came forward and said: “So-and-so is a martyr, so-and-so is a martyr,” until they passed by a man and said: “So-and-so is a martyr.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “No indeed. I saw him in the Fire, in a cloak that he had taken unlawfully ˹from the spoils˺, or a mantle.”

Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “O son of al-Khattab, go and announce among the people: None will enter Paradise except the believers.” He said: So I went out and proclaimed: “Behold, none will enter Paradise except the believers.”

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ، أَقْبَلَ نَفَرٌ مِنْ صَحَابَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالُوا: فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ، فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ، حَتَّى مَرُّوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ، فَقَالُوا: فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «كَلَّا، إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ، فِي بُرْدَةٍ غَلَّهَا، أَوْ عَبَاءَةٍ».

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، اذْهَبْ فَنَادِ فِي النَّاسِ: إِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ». قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فَنَادَيْتُ: أَلَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ.

from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he stood among them and mentioned to them that striving in the path of Allah and believing in Allah are the best of deeds. A man stood up and said, “O Messenger of Allah, what do you think if I am killed in the path of Allah, will my sins be expiated for me?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: “Yes, if you are killed in the path of Allah while you are patient, seeking reward, advancing and not retreating.”

Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “What did you say?” He said, “What do you think if I am killed in the path of Allah, will my sins be expiated for me?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Yes, while you are patient, seeking reward, advancing and not retreating, except for debt, for Jibril ᴬˢ told me this.”

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَامَ فِيهِمْ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ أَنَّ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالإِيمَانَ بِاللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْمَالِ. فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، تُكَفَّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «نَعَمْ، إِنْ قُتِلْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ، مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ».

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «كَيْفَ قُلْتَ؟»، قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، أَتُكَفَّرُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «نَعَمْ، وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ مُحْتَسِبٌ، مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ، إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ، فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ ؑ قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ».

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Do you know who the bankrupt is?" They said: A bankrupt is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth. He said: "The bankrupt of my Ummah would be the one who would come on the Day of Resurrection with prayers, fasts, and Zakāh while he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against others, unlawfully consumed the wealth of others, shed the blood of others, and beat others. His good deeds would be given to the other ˹who suffered at his hand˺. And if his good deeds fall short to clear the account, then their sins would be taken and thrown toward him and he would be thrown in the Hellfire."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْمُفْلِسُ؟» قَالُوا: الْمُفْلِسُ فِينَا مَنْ لاَ دِرْهَمَ لَهُ وَلاَ مَتَاعَ. فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمُفْلِسَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِصَلاَةٍ، وَصِيَامٍ، وَزَكَاةٍ، وَيَأْتِي قَدْ شَتَمَ هَذَا، وَقَذَفَ هَذَا، وَأَكَلَ مَالَ هَذَا، وَسَفَكَ دَمَ هَذَا، وَضَرَبَ هَذَا۔ فَيُعْطَى هَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ۔ فَإِنْ فَنِيَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ، أُخِذَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ فَطُرِحَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ طُرِحَ فِي النَّارِ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “I am only a human being, and you bring your disputes to me. Perhaps one of you is more eloquent in presenting his argument than another, so I judge according to what I hear. So whoever I have ruled in his favor for something that is actually his brother’s right should not take it, for I would only be granting him a piece of the Fire.”

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ، وَإِنَّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ إِلَىَّ. وَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَلْحَنَ بِحُجَّتِهِ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، فَأَقْضِي نَحْوَ مَا أَسْمَعُ. فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِحَقِّ أَخِيهِ شَيْئًا فَلاَ يَأْخُذْهُ، فَإِنَّمَا أَقْطَعُ لَهُ قِطْعَةً مِنَ النَّارِ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The believer will continue to have latitude in his religion so long as he does not shed unlawful blood.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لَنْ يَزَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي فُسْحَةٍ مِنْ دِينِهِ مَا لَمْ يُصِبْ دَمًا حَرَامًا».

I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: “Indeed, there are men who meddle with the wealth of Allah without right; for them is the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.”

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ رِجَالاً يَتَخَوَّضُونَ فِي مَالِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ فَلَهُمُ النَّارُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ».
