Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

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

Umm Habeebah said: O Allah, let me have the joy of the company of my husband the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and my brother Mu'awiyah, and my father Abu Sufyan (alI my life), The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You have asked Allah about lifespans that have already been determined, limits that have already been set and provisions that have already been allotted. None of them will be brought forward before its due time or delayed beyond its due time. If you had asked Allah to grant you refuge from punishment in the grave or punishment in the Fire, (that would have been better and preferable).” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about monkeys and pigs - were they (descendents of) those who had been transformed or were they some other creation that existed before that? He said: “No, rather they existed before that, Verily Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, does not doom a people then give them offspring."

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to him (walking) between Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, when 'Abdullah was praying. He started to recite (Soorat) an-Nisa' and did not stop until he completed it. And the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever would like to recite the Qur'an fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm ‘Abd. Then he began asking (in du’a) and the Prophet (ﷺ) started saying: "Ask, you will be given; ask, you will be given, ask you will be given." And among the things he asked for, he said: O Allah, I ask You for faith that will never change, blessing that will never expire and to accompany Your Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in the highest part of the Paradise of eternity. Then 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) came to ‘Abdullah to tell him the good news, but he found that Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) had beaten him to it so he said: You have beaten me because you are always ahead of us in doing good.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Verily, Allah has made the reward for the good deed of the son of Adam ten like it, up to seven hundred fold, except fasting, for fasting is for Me and I and the One Who will reward for it. The fasting person has two moments of joy: joy when he breaks his fast and joy on the Day of Resurrection. And the smell from the mouth of the fasting person is better before Allah than the fragrance of musk.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When the servant of any one of you brings his food to him, let him make him come and sit with him or give him some of it, for he dealt with its heat and smoke.”

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood that

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The first one to establish the custom of as-sa’ibah and the worship of idols was Abu Khuza'ah 'Amr bin 'Amir, and verily I have seen him dragging his intestines in Hell.

A similar report was narrated from ‘Abdullah from

The Prophet (ﷺ), but he did not mention the worship of idols.

It was narrated that "Abdullah bin Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The poor person is not the one who goes around to people and will be content with a mouthful or two, or a date or two.” I said: O Messenger of Allah, then who is the poor person? He said: “The one who does not ask the people (for anything) and cannot find enough to make him independent of means, and no one is aware of his situation so he is not given any charity.”

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Hands are three: the hand of Allah, which is uppermost: the hand of the giver, which is below it, and the hand of the one who asks, which is the lowest."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Trading insults with a Muslim is an evil action and fighting him is kufr. And the sanctity of his wealth is like the sanctity of his blood.”

It was narrated "Abdullah bin Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Beware of these two marked cubes that are thrown (i.e. dice), for they are the gambling of the non-Arabs.”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Repentance from sin means repenting from it and not going back to it.”

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Let one of you protect his face from the Fire even with half a date.”

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “If the servant of one of you brings his food, let him make him sit with him or give him some, for he put up with its heat and smoke."

‘Ata' bin as-Sa’ib said:

I came to Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman when he was cauterizing a boy and I said: Are you cauterizing him? He said: Yes, it is the medicine of the Arabs. 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, did not send down any disease but He sent with it a remedy. Those of you who do not know it do not know it, and those of you who do know it know it."

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Verily Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, opens the gates of heaven in the last third of the night, then He descends to the lowest heaven, then He stretches out His hand, then He says: 'Is there any slave who will ask Me so that I may give him?" until dawn breaks."

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The one who spends in moderation will never become poor.”

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that

He said concerning this verse: “The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder” (al-Qamar 54:1): It was split at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) into two halves, one half was behind the mountain and the other one half was over the mountain. And The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "O Allah, bear witness."

It was narrated from ‘Alqamah that

Ibn Mas’ood was met by 'Uthman in 'Arafah. He sat on his own with him and talked to him, then 'Uthman said to Ibn Mas'ood: What do you think of a girl I will give to you in marriage? 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood called ‘Alqamah and he told him that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "O young men, whoever among you can afford it, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity, And whoever cannot afford it should fast, for it will be a shield for him."

It was narrated from Ibraheem that al-Aswad and ‘Alqamah were with 'Abdullah in the house. ‘Abdullah said:

Did these people pray? They said: Yes. Then he led them in prayer without any adhan or iqamah, and he stood in the midst of them. And he said: If you are three, then do like this, but if you are more then let one of you lead. And let one of you put his hands between his knees when he bows. It is as if I can see the interlaced fingers of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas’ood that

Subai'ah bint al-Harith gave birth fifteen days after her husband died. Abus-Sanabil entered upon her and said: It is as if you are thinking of getting married, You cannot do that until you complete the longer of the two periods. She went to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him what Abus-Sanabil had said. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Abus-Sanabil is lying. If someone comes to you who is pleasing to you, then bring him to me - or he said: Tell me, And he told her that her iddah had ended.
