Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whoever is stricken with poverty and refers his need to people, his poverly will not be alleviated, but whoever refers his need to Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, soon Allah will make him independent of means, either by bringing about his death soon or by swiftly making him independent of means."

It was narrated that Tariq bin Shihab said:

We were sitting with 'Abdullah when a man came and said: The iqamah (call immediately preceding the prayer) has been given. So he got up and we got up with him, and when we entered the mosque we saw the people bowing at the front of the mosque, so he said takbeer and bowed, and we bowed, then we walked and did what he did. A man came rushing past and said, ‘Alaikas-salam (upon you be peace) O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman. He said: Allah and His Messenger spoke the truth. When we had prayed and gone back, he went in to see his family and we sat and said to one another: Did you not hear his response to the man: Allah spoke the truth and His Messengers conveyed (the message)? Which of you will ask him? Tariq said: I will ask him. So he asked him when he came out, and he narrated from the Prophet (ﷺ): "Ahead of the Hour, greetings of salam will only be given to people whom one knows; commerce will become so widespread that a woman will help her husband in trade, ties of kinship will be severed; there will be false testimony and concealment of testimony; and there will be widespread use of the pen (i.e., literacy)."

It was narrated that ‘Amr bin al-Harith bin Abi Dirar al-Khuza'i said:

I heard 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) say: I did not fast twenty-nine days with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) more often that I fasted thirty days with him.

It was narrated from Abdur-Rahman bin al-Aswad, from his father, that Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) told him that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) usually departed, after the prayer, to the left, towards the apartments of his wives.

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

To swear nine times that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was killed is dearer to me than swearing once that he was not killed. That is because Allah made him a Prophet and took him as a martyr. Al-A'mash said: I mentioned that to Ibraheem and he said: They used to think that the Jews had poisoned him and Abu Bakr.

It was narrated from Ibraheem that `Abdur-Rahman said:

‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) used to stone the Jamrat from al-Maseel. I (the narrator) said: Do you stone them from here? He said: From here, and by the one besides Whom there is no other god, the one to whom Soorat al-Baqarah was revealed stoned them from here.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) said:

I was hiding beneath the curtain of the Ka'bah when three men came, a Thaqafi and his two Qurashi in-laws. They were very fat but not very smart. They talked among themselves, then one of them said: Do you think Allah hears what we say? The other said: I think that He will hear us if we raise our voices, but He will not hear us if we lower our voices. The other one said. If He hears some of it He will hear all of it. I mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: “And you have not been hiding yourselves (in the world), lest your ears and your eyes and your skins should testify against you; but you thought that Allah knew not much of what you were doing. And that thought of yours which you thought about your Lord, has brought you to destruction, and you have become (this Day) of those utterly lost" (Fussilat 40:22-23).

It was narrated from al-‘Aizar bin Jarwal al-Hadrami, from a man among them who was known by the kunyah Abu ‘Umair, that he was a friend of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood and that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood visited him at home but did not find him. So he asked permission from his wife to enter and he asked for a drink. She sent the slave girl to bring him a drink from their neighbours, but she was slow and she cursed her, so ‘Abdullah left. Abu 'Umair came and said:

O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman, one would not feel protective jealousy concerning someone like you. Why did you not greet the wife of your brother and sit down and have something to drink? He said: I did that, and she sent the servant and she was slow; either they did not have anything or they had something but did not want to give it. She thought the servant was too slow and she cursed her, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “If a curse is directed at someone, if it finds a way to reach him it will stay, otherwise it will say: 'O Lord, I was sent to So and so, but I could not find any way to reach him." Then it is said to it: ‘Go back from whence you came." And I was afraid that the servant had an excuse and that the curse would come back, and I would be the cause of it.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taught all that is good and how to attain it. We did not know what to say in prayer until he taught us and said: "At-Tahiyyatu Lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibatu. As-salamu ‘alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu ‘alaina wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-saliheen. Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasooluh (All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).”

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ond (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allan (ﷺ) said: "If I were to take anyone as a close friend, I would have taken Ibn Abu Quhafah (i.e., Abu Bakr) as a close friend.”

It was narrated that `Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say the salam to his right and to his left until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen: As-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah,"

It was narrated that Abul Ahwas said: ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I disavow the friendship of anyone who claims l am his close friend. If I were to have taken a close friend (khaleel) I would have taken Ibn Abu Quhafah (i.e., Abu Bakr) as a close friend, but your companion (meaning himself) is the close friend (khaleel) of Allah."

It was narrated that al-Harith bin ‘Abdullah al-Awar said: ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

The one who consumes riba, the one who pays it, the one who writes it down and the two who witness it, if they are aware of it, and the woman who does tattoos and the woman who has tattoos done for the purpose of beautification, those who withhold zakah and those who go back to living as Bedouin in the wilderness after migrating, will be cursed on the lips of Muhammad (ﷺ) on the Day of Resurrection. He said: I mentioned it to Ibraheem and he said: ‘Alqamah told me: ‘Abdullah said: The one who consumes riba and the one who pays it are the same.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

We were with The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he made one row stand behind him, and there was another row facing the enemy. They all joined the prayer; he said takbeer and they all said takbeer together. Then he led the raw that was behind him in praying one rak'ah, whilst the other row was facing the enemy. Then they went, and the others came, and he led them in praying one rak'ah. Then those whom he had led in praying the second rak'ah stood up and made up (the rak'ah they had not prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ)), then they went back and switched places with the others, and the others came and made up the rak'ah they had missed.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) that

The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed Zuhr or ‘Asr with five rak’ahs, then he did the two prostrations of forgetfulness. Then The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "These two prostrations are for anyone among you who thinks that he did more or less.”

It was narrated that Ibraheem said: 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

We used to greet The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with salam when he was praying (and he would return our greeting), until we came back from being with the Negus, we grected him with salam (whilst he was praying) and he did not return the greeting. And he said: “There is sufficient preoccupation in the prayer."

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

I used to greet the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was praying and he would return my greeting. One day I greeted him (when he was praying) but he did not return the greeting and I felt sad. When he had finished praying I said:O Messenger of Allah, I used to greet you when you were praying and you would return the greeting. He said: "Allah introduces whatever He wants into His matter (i.e., religion)."

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood (رضي الله عنه) said:

A man said to the Prophet (ﷺ): Will one of us be blamed for what he did during the Jahiliyyah? He said: "whoever does well in Islam will not be blamed for what he did during the Jahiliyyah, but whoever does badly in Islam will be blamed for his earlier and later actions."

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

I did not forget, among the things I forgot from The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), that he used to say salam to his right, as-salamu 'alaikum wa rahmutullah, (turning) so far that the whiteness of his cheek could to seen, and to his left, as-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah, (turning) so far that the whiteness of his cheek could be seen.

A hadeeth similar to that of Abud-Duha was narrated from 'Abdullah, from the Prophet (ﷺ)
