'Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas narrated from his father Sa'd that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) distributed (some wealth) to some people, and Sa'd was sitting among them. Sa'd said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) left out some of them and did not give them anything, although they were better (more deserving) in my view. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about so-and-so? For by Allah, I think he is a believer.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Or a Muslim.' I kept quiet for a while, then what I knew got the better of me and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about so-and-so? For by Allah, I think that he is a believer.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Or a Muslim.' I kept quiet for a while, then what I knew got the better of me and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about so-and-so? For by Allah, I think that he is a believer.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Or a Muslim. I may give to one man although someone else is more beloved to me, for fear lest he be thrown on his face into the Fire."'

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَى رَهْطًا وَسَعْدٌ جَالِسٌ فِيهِمْ قَالَ سَعْدٌ فَتَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْجَبُهُمْ إِلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مُسْلِمًا قَالَ فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِي مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مُسْلِمًا قَالَ فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِي مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مُسْلِمًا إِنِّي لَأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ وَغَيْرُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يُكَبَّ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "We are more likely to have doubts than Ibrahim, did when he said: 'My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead.' He (Allah) said: 'Do you not believe? He (Ibrahim) said: 'Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith'. May Allah have mercy on Lilt, for he longed for a strong support. And if I were to stay in prison as long as Yusuf stayed, I would have accepted the offer."

وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِالشَّكِّ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ قَالَ { رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى قَالَ أَوَ لَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنْ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي }قَالَ وَيَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ لُوطًا لَقَدْ كَانَ يَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ وَلَوْ لَبِثْتُ فِي السِّجْنِ طُولَ لَبْثِ يُوسُفَ لَأَجَبْتُ الدَّاعِيَ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "There is not a single Prophet who was not given signs so that the people would believe in him because of them. What I have been given is a Revelation that Allah has revealed to me, and I hope that I will be the one with the most followers on the Day of Resurrection."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا مِنْ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا قَدْ أُعْطِيَ مِنْ الْآيَاتِ مَا مِثْلُهُ آمَنَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَشَرُ وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُ وَحْيًا أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيَّ فَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ تَابِعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one among this nation, Jew or Christian, hears of me then dies, not believing in that with which I was sent, but he will be one of the people of the Fire."

حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو أَنَّ أَبَا يُونُسَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَا يَسْمَعُ بِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ يَهُودِيٌّ وَلَا نَصْرَانِيٌّ ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِالَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ إِلَّا كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ.

It was narrated that Salih bin Salih Al-Hamdani said: "I saw a man from the people of Khurasan asking Ash-Sha'bi: 'O Abu 'Amr! Among the people of Khurasan who came before us, if a man freed his slave woman and married her, they would say that he is like a man who rode his sacrificial animal.' Ash-Sha'bi said: 'Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa narrated to me from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "There are three who will be given a double reward: A man among the people of the Book who believed in his Prophet, then lived to see the Prophet (s.a.w) and followed him and believed in him - he will have a double reward. And a slave who fulfills his duty towards Allah and towards his master - he will have a double reward. And a man who had a slave woman whom he fed and fed her well, and taught her and taught her well, then he set her free and married her - he will have a double reward. " ' Then Ash-Sha'bi said to the Khurasani: 'Take this Hadith with no effort, for a man would travel to Al-Madinah for less than this."'

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ خُرَاسَانَ سَأَلَ الشَّعْبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو إِنَّ مَنْ قِبَلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ خُرَاسَانَ يَقُولُونَ فِي الرَّجُلِ إِذَا أَعْتَقَ أَمَتَهُ ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجَهَا فَهُوَ كَالرَّاكِبِ بَدَنَتَهُ فَقَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ بْنُ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ آمَنَ بِنَبِيِّهِ وَأَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَآمَنَ بِهِ وَاتَّبَعَهُ وَصَدَّقَهُ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَعَبْدٌ مَمْلُوكٌ أَدَّى حَقَّ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَحَقَّ سَيِّدِهِ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَمَةٌ فَغَذَاهَا فَأَحْسَنَ غِذَاءَهَا ثُمَّ أَدَّبَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ أَدَبَهَا ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ لِلْخُرَاسَانِيِّ خُذْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ بِغَيْرِ شَيْءٍ فَقَدْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَرْحَلُ فِيمَا دُونَ هَذَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ.

It was narrated from Ibn Al-Musayyab that he heard Abu Hurairah say: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! Soon the son of Mariam will descend among you as a just judge, he will break the cross, kill the pigs and abolish the Jizyah, and wealth will become so abundant that no one will accept it."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ح و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيُوشِكَنَّ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِيكُمْ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَكَمًا مُقْسِطًا فَيَكْسِرَ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقْتُلَ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَيَضَعَ الْجِزْيَةَ وَيَفِيضُ الْمَالُ حَتَّى لَا يَقْبَلَهُ أَحَدٌ.

It was narrated from Az-Zuhri with this chain. And according to the report of Ibn 'Uyainah the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "A fair leader and a just judge." According to the report of Yunus the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "A just judge," but he did not mention "a fair leader." According to the Hadith of Salih the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "A fair judge," as Al-Laith said (no. 389). According to his Hadith he added: "Until a single prostration will be better than this world and everything in it.' Then Abu Hurairah said: 'Recite if you wish: "And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him ('Eisa, son of Mariam), before his death...'"

و حَدَّثَنَاه عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ح و حَدَّثَنِيهِ حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ ح و حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ إِمَامًا مُقْسِطًا وَحَكَمًا عَدْلًا وَفِي رِوَايَةِ يُونُسَ حَكَمًا عَادِلًا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ إِمَامًا مُقْسِطًا وَفِي حَدِيثِ صَالِحٍ حَكَمًا مُقْسِطًا كَمَا قَالَ اللَّيْثُ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِ مِنْ الزِّيَادَةِ وَحَتَّى تَكُونَ السَّجْدَةُ الْوَاحِدَةُ خَيْرًا مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ { وَإِنْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ } النساء:159 الْآيَةَ

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'By Allah! The son of Mariam will certainly come down as a just judge. He will break the cross and kill the pigs, and he will abolish the Jizyah; the young she-camels will be left alone, and no one will show any interest in them. Spite, mutual hatred and mutual envy will disappear, and when they are called (to be given) wealth, no one will accept it."'

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ مِينَاءَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاللَّهِ لَيَنْزِلَنَّ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ حَكَمًا عَادِلًا فَلَيَكْسِرَنَّ الصَّلِيبَ وَلَيَقْتُلَنَّ الْخِنْزِيرَ وَلَيَضَعَنَّ الْجِزْيَةَ وَلَتُتْرَكَنَّ الْقِلَاصُ فَلَا يُسْعَى عَلَيْهَا وَلَتَذْهَبَنَّ الشَّحْنَاءُ وَالتَّبَاغُضُ وَالتَّحَاسُدُ وَلَيَدْعُوَنَّ إِلَى الْمَالِ فَلَا يَقْبَلُهُ أَحَدٌ

Nafi', the freed slave of Abu Qatadah Al-Ansari, narrated that he heard Abu Hurairah say: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'How will you be when the son of Mariam descends among you and leads you?"'

و حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فِيكُمْ وَأَمَّكُمْ؟.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "How will you be when the son of Mariam descends among you and you are led by one from among you?" I said to Ibn Abi Dhi'b: "Al-Awza'i narrated to us from Az-Zuhri, from Nafi', from Abu Hurairah: 'And your Imam is one of you."' Ibn Abi Dhi'b said: "Do you know what 'You are led by one from among you' - means?" I said: "Tell me." He said: "He will lead you according to the Book of your Lord, the Mighty and Sublime, and the Sunnah of your Prophet (s.a.w)."

و حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ فِيكُمْ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فَأَمَّكُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ إِنَّ الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَإِمَامُكُمْ مِنْكُمْ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ تَدْرِي مَا أَمَّكُمْ مِنْكُمْ قُلْتُ تُخْبِرُنِي قَالَ فَأَمَّكُمْ بِكِتَابِ رَبِّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
