| Narrated By Abdullah ibn Abbas: I was not commanded to build high mosques. Ibn Abbas said: You will certainly adorn them as the Jews and CHRISTIANs did. |
| Narrated By AbuUmayr ibn Anas:
AbuUmayr reported on the authority of his uncle who was from the Ansar
(the helpers of the Prophet): The Prophet (pbuh) was anxious as to how
to gather the people for prayer.
The people told him: Hoist a flag at the time of prayer; when they see it, they will inform one another. But he (the Prophet) did not like it. Then someone mentioned to him the horn. Ziyad said: A horn of the Jews. He (the Prophet) did not like it. He said: This is the matter of the Jews. Then they mentioned to him the bell of the CHRISTIANs. He said: This is the matter of the CHRISTIANs. Abdullah ibn Zayd returned anxiously from there because of the anxiety of the Apostle (pbuh). He was then taught the call to prayer in his dream. Next day he came to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and informed him about it. He said: Apostle of Allah, I was between sleep and wakefulness; all of a sudden a newcomer came (to me) and taught me the call to prayer. Umar ibn al-Khattab had also seen it in his dream before, but he kept it hidden for twenty days. The Prophet (pbuh) said to me (Umar): What did prevent you from saying it to me? He said: Abdullah ibn Zayd had already told you about it before me: hence I was ashamed. Then the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Bilal, stand up, see what Abdullah ibn Zayd tells you (to do), then do it. Bilal then called them to prayer. AbuBishr reported on the authority of AbuUmayr: The Ansar thought that if Abdullah ibn Zayd had not been ill on that day, the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) would have made him mu'adhdhin. |
| Narrated By As-Subayy ibn Ma'bad:
I was a CHRISTIAN Bedouin; then I
embraced Islam. I came to a man of my tribe, who was called Hudhaym ibn
Thurmulah. I said to him. O brother, I am eager to wage war in the cause
of Allah (i.e. jihad), and I find that both hajj and umrah are due from
me. How can I combine them?
He said: Combine them and sacrifice the animal made easily available for you. I, therefore, raised my voice in talbiyah for both of them (i.e. umrah and hajj). When I reached al-Udhayb, Salman ibn Rabi'ah and Zayd ibn Suhan met me while I was raising my voice in talbiyah for both of them. One of them said to the other: This (man) does not have any more understanding than his camel. Thereupon it was as if a mountain fell on me. I came to Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: Commander of the Faithful, I was a CHRISTIAN Bedouin, and I have embraced Islam. I am eager to wage war in the cause of Allah (jihad), and I found that both hajj and umrah were due from me. I came to a man of my tribe who said to me: Combine both of them and sacrifice the animal easily available for you. I have raised my voice in talbiyah for both of them. Umar thereupon said to me: You have been guided to the practice (sunnah) of your Prophet) (pbuh). |
| Narrated By AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (pbuh) said: Religion will continue to prevail as long as people hasten to break the fast, because the Jews and the CHRISTIANs delay doing so. |
| Narrated By Ubaydullah: Harb ibn Ubaydullah told on the authority of his grandfather, his mother's father, that he had it on the authority of his father that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Tithes are to be levied on Jews and CHRISTIANs, but not on Muslims. |
| Narrated By A man of Banu Taghlib: Harb ibn Ubaydullah ibn Umayr ath-Thaqafi told on the authority of his grandfather, a man of Banu Taghlib: I came to the Prophet (pbuh), embraced Islam, and he taught me Islam. He also taught me how I should take sadaqah from my people who had become Muslim. I then returned to him and said: Apostle of Allah, I remembered whatever you taught me except the sadaqah. Should I levy tithe on them? He replied: No, tithes are to be levied on CHRISTIANs and Jews. |
| Narrated By Qabisah ibn Halb: A man asked the Apostle of Allah (pbuh): Is there any food from which I should keep myself away? I heard the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) say: Anything which creates doubt should not occur in your mind by which you resemble CHRISTIANity. |
| Narrated By Abu Hurairah: The Prophet (pbuh) said: Jews and CHRISTIANs do not dye (their beards), so act differently from them. |
| Narrated By AbuHurayrah: The Prophet (pbuh) said: The Jews were split up into seventy-one or seventy-two sects; and the CHRISTIANs were split up into seventy one or seventy-two sects; and my community will be split up into seventy-three sects. |
| Narrated By AbuHurayrah: Suhayl ibn AbuSalih said: I went out with my father to Syria. The people passed by the cloisters in which there were CHRISTIANs and began to salute them. My father said: Do not give them salutation first, for AbuHurayrah reported the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) as saying: Do not salute them (Jews and CHRISTIANs) first, and when you meet them on the road, force them to go to the narrowest part of it. |
