Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

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

I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) on the night the delegation of the jinn came. When he finished with them, he breathed deeply and I said: What is the matter? He said: "I have been given the news of my death, O Ibn Mas’ood."

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I thought of instructing a man to lead the people in prayer, then going and burning down the houses of men who stay away from Jumu’ah whilst they are in them.”

It was narrated that Ibn Mas’ood said:

On the night of the jinn, two of them stayed behind and said: We want to pray Fair with you, O Messenger of Allah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me. Do you have any water? I said: I do not have any water but I have a vessel in which there is some nabeedh. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Good dates and clean water.” And he did wudoo’.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood that

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "(Some people) are staying away from Jumu’ah. I thought of instructing my servant to gather firewood, then instructing a man to lead the people in prayer, them going and burning down the houses of men who stay away from Jumu’ah whilst they are in them."

It was narrated from al-Qasim from his father that

al-Waleed bin 'Uqbah delayed the prayer on one occasion. ‘Abdullah bin Mas'ood stood up and gave the iqamah (call immediately preceding the prayer), then he led the people in prayer. Al-Waleed sent word to him asking: What made you do what you did? Did instructions come to you from Ameer al-Mu'mineen with regard to what you did or have you introduced something? He said: No instructions came to me from Ameer al-Mu'mineen and I did not introduce anything, rather Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, and His Messenger insisted that we should not wait for you concerning prayer when you are busy.

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood that

The Prophet (ﷺ) went to relieve himself and he instructed Ibn Mas'ood to bring him three stones, and he brought two stones and a piece of dung. He threw away the dung and said: “It is impure, bring me a stone.”

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

I did not fast Ramadan with the Prophet (ﷺ) with twenty-nine days more often that I fasted it with thirty.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: "Do you have any water (for wudoo')?” I said: No. He said: "Then what is this in the vessel?" I said: Nabeedh. He said: "Show it to me; good dates and clean water." And he did wudoo’ with it and prayed.

It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ruled that the diyah in the case of accidental killing should be twenty she-camels in their second year, twenty he-cameIs in their second year, twenty she-camels in their third year, twenty she-camels in their fourth year, and twenty she-camels in their fifth year.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever sees me in a dream, then it is me that he has seen, for verily the Shaitan cannot appear in my form."

Al-Qasim bin Mukhaimirah said: 'Alqamah took hold of my hand and said: 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood took hold of my hand and said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took hold of my hand and taught me the tashahhud in prayer: "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 Shaqeeq said: I was with ‘Abdullah and Abu Moosa, and they were narrating hadeeth. They narrated that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Ahead of the Hour there will be days in which knowledge will be taken away and ignorance will prevail, and there will be a lot of harj.“ They said: Harj means killing.

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

We travelled by night with the Prophet (ﷺ) and we said: O Messenger of Allah, how about if we halt here and sleep, and our mounts can graze. He agreed and said: Let some of you guard us. 'Abdullah said: I will guard you. But then sleep overtook me; I fell asleep and did not wake up until the sun had risen, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not wake up until (he heard) us talking. He instructed Bilal to give the adhan, then the iqamah for prayer, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in prayer.

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Allah has cursed the muhill and the muhallal lahu.”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

They used to recite behind the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: "You made me confused in reciting the Qur'an."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: No one will enter Paradise in whose heart is pride the size of a mustard seed.

It was narrated from "Abdur-Rahman bin al-Aswad that his father said:

My paternal uncle and I entered upon Ibn Masood at midday when it was very hot. He gave the iqamah for prayer and we stood behind him. He took hold of my hand and my uncle's hand and brought us forward until he made each of us stand on either side of him, then he said: This is what The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do if they were three.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Abdullah that his father Ibn Mas’ood said:

There was a man among those who came before you who had a kingdom; one day he thought and realised that it would come to an end and that what he had was distracting him from worshipping his lord. So he slipped out one night from his palace and went to the kingdom of someone else. He came to the shore and stayed there, making bricks for payment, and he ate and gave the surplus in charity. He continued like that until news of him and his worship and virtue reached their king. The king sent for him but he refused to go to him. He sent for him again and he refused to go to him, saying. What have I to do with him? So the king rode (to where he was), and when the man saw him he turned and fled. When the king saw that he pursued him but could not catch up with him. He cried out: O slave of Allah, you have nothing to fear from me. So he stopped and the king caught up with him and said: Who are you, may Allah have mercy on you? He said: I am So and so, the son of So and so, the ruler of such and such. I thought about my situation and I realised that what I had would come to an end and that it was preoccupying me and distracting me from worshipping my Lord. So I left it and came here to worship my Lord, may He be glorified and exalted. He said: You are not in greater need of what you did than me. Then he dismounted and let his mount go, and he followed him, and they stayed together, worshipping Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. They prayed to Allah and asked! Him to cause them to die together, and they died (together). He said: If I was in Rumailah in Egypt I would show you their graves as described to us by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

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

I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): O Messenger of Allah, which deed is best? He said: "Prayer offered on time." I said: Then what, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "Honouring one's parents." I said: Then what, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Jihad for the sake of Allah. Then I fell silent and if I had asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for more, he would have given me more.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Any two Muslims for whom three of their children die before reaching puberty, they will be a strong protection for them against the Fire.” Abu Dharr said: Two of my children died, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "And two.” Ubayy Abul-Mundhir, the leader of the prominent Qur'an reciters, said: One of my children died, O Messenger of Allah. He said: "And one, but that (i.e., the reward) is only (for showing patience) when calamity first strikes."
