May the curse of Allah be upon the Jews and the Christians, for they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship - He wanted to warn against what they did - If it were not for that, his grave would be made prominent; yet, he feared it might be taken as a place of worship Of all the associates, I am the most able to dispense with association. If anyone does a deed in which he associates anyone else with Me, I shall abandon him to what he associates with Me I stand acquitted before Allah that I took anyone of you as an intimate friend, for Allah has taken me as an intimate friend just as he took Ibrahīm as an intimate friend. Had I taken anyone from my nation as an intimate friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as an intimate friend Do not exaggerate in praising me as Christians praised the son of Mariyam, for I am only a slave. So, call me the slave of Allah and His Messenger Who will be the happiest of people to receive your intercession? He said: The one who says 'there is no god but Allah' sincerely from his heart Whoever dies while invoking anything other than Allah as a rival will enter Hell "Ruined are the extremists!" He said it thrice Shall I not send you with the same instructions as the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) sent me? Do not leave any image without blotting it out, nor any raised or built-up grave without leveling it The gravest major sins are: associating partners with Allah in worship, feeling secure from Allah's plan, despairing of Allah's mercy, and losing hope in relief coming from Allah He was with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on one of his journeys, so he sent a messenger ordering: There should not remain any necklace of bowstring or any other kind of necklace around the necks of camels without being cut Whoever is attached to something will be entrusted to that thing Whoever says "there is no god but Allah" and disbelieves in everything worshiped besides Allah, his property and blood becomes inviolable, and his reckoning will be with Allah The angels descend to the clouds and mention matters which have been decreed in the heaven. The devil then listens to it stealthily and communicates it to the diviners who tell along with it a hundred lies Do not pray facing graves and do not sit on them Those are a people who, when a righteous slave or a righteous man from among them dies, they build a place of worship over his grave and place those images therein. They are the most evil people in the sight of Allah The right of Allah upon His servants is that they worship Him and associate none with Him Whoever dies while not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise Indeed, Allah forbids you to swear by your forefathers. Do not say: What Allah wills and what so-and-so wills, rather say: What Allah wills and then what so-and-so wills To swear by Allah even if I were telling a lie is dearer to me than to swear by other than Him even if I were telling the truth There is no infection and no evil omen, and I like a good omen. They asked: What is a good omen? He said: A good word We were with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and we were nine, eight, or seven. He said to us: Will you not give a pledge to the Messenger of Allah? He who is inflicted with poverty and seeks relief from people, he will not be relieved; whereas he who seeks relief from Allah, he will be given sustenance from Allah sooner or later Allah is the Greatest! These are just predictable ways! By the One in whose hand my soul is, you have just said what the Children of Israel said to Mūsa A man said to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): It is as Allah wills and you will. Thereupon, he said: Do you make me an equal to Allah? It is only as Allah wills Whenever the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) appointed a man to lead an army or a military detachment, he would advise him to fear Allah and treat well those Muslims who are with him Take it off, for it will only increase your weakness. If you die with it on, you will never succeed Whoever hangs an amulet, may Allah not fulfill his wishes, and whoever hangs a seashell, may Allah not grant him serenity O Ruwayfi‘, you may live a long life after me; so, inform people that anyone who ties his beard, wears a string around his neck, or cleanse himself with animal dung or with bone, indeed Muhammad has nothing to do with him Allah says to the one receiving the least torment in Fire: If everything on earth was yours, would you ransom yourself with it? He says: Yes. Allah says: I had asked you for something easier than that when you were in the backbone of Adam: to not associate partners with Me, but you insisted on associating partners with Me The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) did not believe in evil omens Those who make these images will be tortured on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them: Bring to life what you have created Angels do not enter a house where there is a dog or an image Do not swear by false deities nor by your fathers Take these sandals of mine, and anyone you meet outside this orchard testifying with full certainty that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, give him glad tidings that he will enter Paradise All of the earth is a mosque (prayer place) except the graveyard and the bathroom The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) visited me and drank from the mouth of a hanging waterskin while he was standing. So, I got up and cut off its mouth O Abu ‘Ā’ishah, there are three things, whoever speaks of one of them has fabricated a tremendous lie against Allah In prayer, nothing of people's ordinary speech is allowed. Only Tasbīh, Takbīr, and recitation of the Qur'an are allowed May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians, they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship
