Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No woman should talk about another woman and describe her to her husband so that it is as if he can see her.”

It was narrated that `Abdullah said:

We were walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he passed by Ibn Sayyad and said: "I am hiding something in my mind for you.” Ibn Sayyad said: (It is) dukh (referring to Soorat ad-Dukhan). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said. "May you be disgraced and dishonoured; you will never go beyond your station." ‘Umar said: O Messenger of Allah, let me strike his neck. He said: “No, If he is the one you fear he is, you will never be able to kill him."

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

It is as if I can see the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), telling the story of one of the Prophets who was beaten by his people, and he wiped the blood from his face and said: "Lord forgive my people, for they do not know.”

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

I asked The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): Which sin is the worst before Allah? He said: "Attributing a partner to Allah when He has created you.” I said: Then what? He said: "Then killing your child for fear that he may share your food.” I said: Then what? He said: "Then committing adultery with your neighbour's wife.” Then Allah revealed, confirming that: “And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such person as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse - and whoever does this shall receive the punishment" (al-Furqan 25:68).

It was narrated that Masrooq said:

A man came to 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) and said: I have left a man in the mosque who was interpreting the Qur'an according to his own opinion. He interpreted this verse, “the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke" by saying: On the Day of Resurrection a smoke will overwhelm the people which they will inhale and they will get something like a cold from it. 'Abdullah said: Whoever knows something, let him speak of it, and whoever does not know, let him say: Allah knows best. It is a part of a man's understanding of religion to say regarding that of which he has no knowledge of it, Allah knows best. This (verse) was (revealed) because when Quraish displayed a stubborn attitude towards the Prophet (ﷺ), he prayed against them and prayed for a famine like the famine of Yoosuf, and they were so afflicted by severe drought and famine that they even ate bones and a man would look at the sky and see something like smoke between him and it, because of hunger. Then a man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah for rain for Mudar, for they are dying. So he prayed to Allah for them, and Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: “Verily. We shall remove the torment for a while.” (ad-Dukhan 44:15). But when it rained a second time, they reverted to their former ways. Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: “On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest seizure (punishment). Verily, We will exact retribution" (ad-Dukhan 44:16) This refers to the day of Badr.

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

I was hiding behind the curtain of the Ka'bah, and three people came, a Qurashi and his two Thaqafi in-laws or a Thaqafi and his two Qurashi in laws; they were very fat but not very smart. They said something I did not hear, then one of them said: Do you think Allah hears what we say? The other said: I think if we raise our voices, He will hear us but if we do not raise our voices He will not hear us. 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 41:22,23).

It was narrated that Zainab, the wife of 'Abdullah, said:

When 'Abdullah came home from an errand and reached the door, he would clear his throat and spit, lest he take us by surprise and see us doing something he disapproved of. He came one day and cleared his throat, and there was an old woman with me who was doing ruqyah for me for erysipelas. I put her under the bed and he came in and sat beside me, and he saw a thread around my neck. He said: What is this thread? I said: A thread with which ruqyah was done for me. He took it and broke it, then he said: The family of ‘Abdullah have no need of shirk l heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Ruqyahs, amulets and love-spells are shirk.” I said: Why do you say that? By Allah, I had a discharge in my eye, and I kept going to So and so, the Jew, who did ruqyah for me, and when he did ruqyah for me, it calmed down. 'Abdullah said: That was the work of the Shaitan, who was poking it with his hand, but when he did ruqyah for it, it stopped. It would have been sufficient for you to say as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: “Take away the pain, O Lord of mankind, and grant healing, for You are the Healer, and there is no healing but Your healing, a healing that leaves no trace of sickness.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "No one has more protective jealousy (gheerah) than Allah, may He be glorified and exalted. Hence He forbade immoral actions, both open and hidden. And none loves to be praised more than Allah, Inay He be glorified and exalted."

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

I entered upon The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he was running a fever. I touched him with my hand and said: O Messenger of Allah, you are running a high fever. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Yes, I am running a fever like two of you.” I said: Then you will have two rewards. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Yes. There is no Muslim who is afflicted with sickness or anything else, but Allah will erase thereby his bad deeds just as trees shed their leaves.”

Al-A’mash told us…

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:

Keep refreshing your knowledge of these Mushafs - or he said, Qur’an - for it is more inclined to escape from the hearts of men than camels from their ropes. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “No one of you should say, I have forgotten such and such a verse; rather he has been caused to forget.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The blood of a Muslim man who bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah is not permissible except in one of three cases: a married adulterer, a soul for a soul, and one who leaves his religion and separates from the jama'ah (the main body of Muslims)."

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

When we sat with The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the prayer, we said: Peace be upon Allah before His slaves, peace be upon Jibreel, peace be upon Mika'eel, peace be upon So and so, peace be upon So and so. Then we heard The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Allah Himself is as-Salam (peace), so when one of you sits in the prayer, let him say, "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.' If he says that, it will reach all the righteous slaves in heaven and on earth. ‘I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.’ Then let him choose whatever supplication he wants.”

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

Whoever would like to meet Allah tomorrow as a Muslim, let him pay attention to praying these five (daily) prayers when the call for them is given, for they are part of the ways of guidance, and Allah prescribed the ways of guidance to your Prophet (ﷺ), There is no one among you who does not have a prayer-space in his house, but if you pray in your houses as this one who stays away (from the prayer in congregation) does, you will have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet (ﷺ) and if you abandon the Sunnah of your Prophet you will go astray. I remember when no one stayed away from it (i.e., the prayer in congregation) except a hypocrite who was known for his hypocrisy. I have seen a man coming supported by two others, until he was made to stand in the row (of worshippers). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There is no man who does wudoo' and does it well, and comes to the mosque and prays there, but for every step that he takes he will be raised in status one degree thereby, or one of his sins will be erased, or one good deed will be recorded for him.” So we would make our steps short. And a man's prayer offered in congregation is superior to his prayer offered on his own by twenty-five degrees.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who is the most truthful one, told us: “The creation of any one of you is put together in his mother's womb for forty days, then he becomes a ‘alaqah (a piece of thick coagulated blood) for a similar period, then he becomes like a chewed piece of flesh (mudghah) for a similar period, then Allah sends to him an angel who breathes the soul into him and is enjoined to write down four things: his provision, his lifespan, his deeds and whether He is doomed (to Hell) or blessed (destined for Paradise). By the One besides Whom there is no other god, one of you may do the deeds of the people of Paradise until there is nothing between him and it but a cubit, then the decree overtakes him and he does a deed of the people of Hell and enters it. And one of you may do the deeds of the people of Hell until there is nothing between him and it but a cubit, then the decree overtakes him and he does a deed of the people of Paradise, and enters it."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said something and I may add something else. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever dies not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise.” And I say: whoever dies associating anything with Allah will enter Hell.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Who among you likes his heir’s wealth more than his own wealth?” They said: O Messenger of Allah, there is no one among us for whom his own wealth is not dearer to him than his heir's wealth. He said: “You should know that there is no one among you for whom his heir's wealth is not dearer than his own wealth. You will have nothing of your wealth except what you send ahead, and your heir's wealth is what you leave behind.” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Who do you consider to be a strong wrestler among you?" They said: The one who cannot be thrown to the ground by other men. He said: “No, the strong man is the one who can control himself at the time of anger." And The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Who do you consider to be childless among you?" We said: The one who has no children. He said: “No, the childless one is the one who has not sent any of his children ahead of him (i.e., none of his children died before him)."

'Abdullah told us two reports, one of them from himself and the other from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

The believer sees his sins as being like the bottom of a mountain that he fears will fall on him; the evildoer sees his sins as being like flies that land on his nose, and he does this and they fly away. He said: And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Verily, Allah rejoices more over the repentance of His believing slave than a man who goes out in a desolate land and has his mount with him, on which is his food and drink and provisions and all that he needs, then he loses it, so he goes out looking for it until he is about to die and has not found it, so he says to himself: I will go back to the place where I lost it, and die there. He goes back to that place and falls asleep, then he wakes up and there is his mount, standing at his head, with his food and drink and provisions and all that he needs on it.”

The believer sees his sins as being go like the bottom of a mountain that he fears will fall on him, the evildoer sees his sins as being like flies that land on his nose, and he does this and they fly away.
