Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood

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

The Messenger Allah (ﷺ) said: "I have nothing to do with any close friendship. If I were to take a close friend. I would have taken Abu Bakr as a close friend. But your companion is the close friend of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted."

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

Prisoners would be brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he would give an entire family (to someone as slave), because he did not want to separate them.

It was narrated that al-Huzail bin Shurahbeel said:

A man came to Abu Moosa and Salman bin Rabee'ah and asked them about a daughter, a son's daughter and a half-sister through the father (i.e., a case of inheritance). They said. The daughter gets half and the sister gets half. Go to Ibn Mas'ood (and check with him); he will agree with us. So he went to Ibn Mas'ood and told him what they had said. Ibn Mas'ood said: "I would go astray if I did (agree with them) and would not be one of the rightly guided" (al-An'am 6:56). I shall judge according to the verdict of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): Half goes to the daughter and one-sixth goes to the son's daughter. That makes two-thirds, and the remainder goes to the sister.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) summoned us and we were forty men. 'Abdullah said: I was one of the last to come to him and he said: "You are on the right path and will prevail, and you will conquer other lands. Whoever among you lives to see that, let him fear Allah, enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil. And whoever tells a lie about me deliberately, let him take his place in Hell.”

It was narrated that Abu wa'il said:

I was sitting with "Abdullah and Abu Moosa, and they said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Ahead of the Hour will be days during which ignorance will appear and knowledge will be taken away, and there will be a lot of harj." We said: What is harj? He said: "Killing."

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): “whoever has a need and refers his need to people deserves not to have his need met, but whoever turns to Allah, He will grant him provision immediately or death at a later time.”

I was present with al-Miqdad - Abu Nu'aim bin al-Aswad said - during an incident which, if it were to happen to me, it would be dearer to me than anything else. He came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was praying against the mushrikeen and said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, we will not say as the Children of Israel said to Moosa, "So go you and your Lord and fight you two, we are sitting right here" (al-Ma'idah 5:34); rather we will fight on your right and on your left, in front of you and behind you. And I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) brighten and he was pleased with that, Aswad said: And I saw the face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) brighten at that, and he was pleased with that. Abu Nu'aim said: And I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with his face brightening, and he was pleased with that.

Umm Habeebah, the daughter of Abu Sufyan, said: O Allah, let me have the joy of the company of my husband the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and my father Abu Sufyan, and my brother Mu'awiyah (all my life). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You have asked Allah about lifespans that have already been determined, days that have already been counted and provisions that have already been allotted. Allah will never do anything before its due time or delay it beyond its due time. If you had asked Allah to grant you refuge from punishment in the Fire or punishment in the grave, that would have been better or preferable.” He said: And mention of monkeys was made in his presence. Mis’ar said: And pigs, which were transformed. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah never gives those who have been transformed offspring. Monkeys and pigs existed before that."

It was narrated from 'AbduIlah (رضي الله عنه) that

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

I have not forgotten, among the things I forgot, that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say the salam to his right and to his left, "As-salamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullah, as-salamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullah," until the whiteness of his cheeks could be seen - or until we could see the whiteness of his cheeks.

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The millstone of Islam will turn for thirty-five (years) or thirty-six or thirty-seven, then if they perish (after deviating) they will meet the same fate as those who perished (before them), but is they persist (in following the right path) then they will be in a good state for seventy years."

It was narrated that Abu Wa'il said: ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:

When Ibn an-Nawwahah was killed: This man and Ibn Uthal came to the Prophet (ﷺ) as envoys of Musailimah the Liar. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to them. "Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" They said: We bear witness that Musailimah is the messenger of Allah! He said: "If I were to kill any envoy, I would have struck your necks." And it became a precedent that envoys were not to be killed. As for Ibn Uthal. Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, took care of him for us. And as for this one, he persisted in his misguidance until Allah enabled the Muslims to capture him now.
