It was narrated that Hammam bin Munabbih said: “This is what Abu Hurairah narrated to us from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w),” – and he narrated a number of Ahadith, including the following: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘By the One is Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, there will come to one of you a day when he cannot see me, then seeing me will become dearer to him than his family and his wealth together.”’

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، قَالَ : هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا : وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي يَدِهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ يَوْمٌ وَلاَ يَرَانِي ، ثُمَّ لأَنْ يَرَانِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ مَعَهُمْ. قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ : الْمَعْنَى فِيهِ عِنْدِي ، لأَنْ يَرَانِي مَعَهُمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ ، وَهُوَ عِنْدِي مُقَدَّمٌ وَمُؤَخَّرٌ.

Abu Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: ‘I am the closest of the people to the son of Mariam. The Prophets are brothers from different mothers, and there is no Prophet between him and I.”’

حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : أَنَا أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ، الأَنْبِيَاءُ أَوْلاَدُ عَلاَّتٍ ، وَلَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ نَبِيٌّ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “There is no child who is born but the Shaitan pricks him, and he begins to cry because of the Shaitan pricking him, except the son of Mariam and his mother.” Then Abu Hurairah said: “Recite, if you wish: ‘…And I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Shaitan (Satan), the outcast.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ إِلاَّ نَخَسَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ ، فَيَسْتَهِلُّ صَارِخًا مِنْ نَخْسَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ ، إِلاَّ ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ. ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: اقْرَؤُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ: {وَإِنِّي أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ}.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “Every son of Adam is touched by the Shaitan on the day his mother gives birth to him, except Mariam and her son.”

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا يُونُسَ سُلَيْمًا ، مَوْلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كُلُّ بَنِي آدَمَ يَمَسُّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ يَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ ، إِلاَّ مَرْيَمَ وَابْنَهَا.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘The infant’s cry when he is born is because of the prick of the Shaitan.”’

حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : صِيَاحُ الْمَوْلُودِ حِينَ يَقَعُ ، نَزْغَةٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ.

It was narrated that Hammam bin Munabbih said: “This is what Abu Hurairah narrated to us from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w).” He narrated a number of Ahadith, including the following: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “Eisa bin Mariam, said to him: “Did you steal?” He said: “No, by the One besides Whom there is none worthy of worship.” ‘Eisa said: “I believe in Allah and I disbelieve my own self.”

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، قَالَ: هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: رَأَى عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَجُلاً يَسْرِقُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسَى: سَرَقْتَ ؟ قَالَ: كَلاَّ ، وَالَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَقَالَ : عِيسَى آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَكَذَّبْتُ نَفْسِي.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: (The Prophet) ‘Ibrahim circumcised himself when he was eighty years old, with an adze.”’

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِزَامِيَّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اخْتَتَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّبِيُّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً بِالْقَدُومِ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “We are more likely to doubt than Ibrahim 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.’ And may Allah have mercy on Lut for he wanted a powerful support. And if I had stayed in prison as long as Yusuf stayed, I would have responded to the messenger (of the king).”

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

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: “May Allah forgive Lut, for he wanted a powerful support.”

وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَرْقَاءُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِلُوطٍ إِنَّهُ أَوَى إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “Ibrahim, never told any lies except three, two of which were for the sake of Allah, when he said: ‘I am sick’ and when he said: ‘Nay, this one, the biggest of them (idols) did it.’ And one was for the sake of Sarah, when he came to the land of a tyrant, and Sarah was with him, and she was the most good-looking of people. He said to her: ‘If this tyrant realizes that you are my wife, he will take you away from me. If he asks you, tell him that you are my sister, for you are my sister in Islam, and I o not know of any other Muslim on earth apart from you and me.’ “When he entered his land and some of the tyrant’s people saw him, they went to hum (the tyrant) and said to him: ‘There has come to your land a woman who should not belong to him, anyone but you.’ He sent for her and she was brought to him, and Ibrahim ?, stood in prayer. When she entered upon him, he could not help but reach out towards her, forcefully. He said to her: ‘Pray to Allah to let my hand go, and I will not harm you.’ She did that, but he did the same thing again, and his hand was seized more forcefully than before. He said the same thing to her, and she did that, but he did the same thing again, and his hand was seized more forcefully than the first two times. He said: ‘Pray to Allah to let my hand go, and by Allah I will not harm you.’ She did that and his hand was let go. Then he called the one who had brought her and said to him: ‘You brought me a devil, not a human being. Expel her from my land, and give her Hajar.’ “She came back walking, and when Ibrahim, saw her he turned away and he said to her: ‘What happened?’ She said: ‘Nothing but good. Allah withheld the hand of the evildoer and he gave me a servant.”’ Abu Hurairah said: “That was your mother, O sons of the rain of the sky.”

وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : لَمْ يَكْذِبْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّبِيُّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ، قَطُّ إِلاَّ ثَلاَثَ كَذَبَاتٍ ، ثِنْتَيْنِ فِي ذَاتِ اللهِ ، قَوْلُهُ : إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ ، وَقَوْلُهُ : بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هَذَا ، وَوَاحِدَةٌ فِي شَأْنِ سَارَةَ ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدِمَ أَرْضَ جَبَّارٍ وَمَعَهُ سَارَةُ ، وَكَانَتْ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : إِنَّ هَذَا الْجَبَّارَ ، إِنْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّكِ امْرَأَتِي يَغْلِبْنِي عَلَيْكِ ، فَإِنْ سَأَلَكِ فَأَخْبِرِيهِ أَنَّكِ أُخْتِي ، فَإِنَّكِ أُخْتِي فِي الإِسْلاَمِ ، فَإِنِّي لاَ أَعْلَمُ فِي الأَرْضِ مُسْلِمًا غَيْرِي وَغَيْرَكِ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أَرْضَهُ رَآهَا بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْجَبَّارِ ، أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ : لَقَدْ قَدِمَ أَرْضَكَ امْرَأَةٌ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تَكُونَ إِلاَّ لَكَ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَأُتِيَ بِهَا فَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ لَمْ يَتَمَالَكْ أَنْ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ إِلَيْهَا ، فَقُبِضَتْ يَدُهُ قَبْضَةً شَدِيدَةً ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : ادْعِي اللَّهَ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ يَدِي وَلاَ أَضُرُّكِ ، فَفَعَلَتْ ، فَعَادَ ، فَقُبِضَتْ أَشَدَّ مِنَ الْقَبْضَةِ الأُولَى ، فَقَالَ لَهَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، فَفَعَلَتْ ، فَعَادَ ، فَقُبِضَتْ أَشَدَّ مِنَ الْقَبْضَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : ادْعِي اللَّهَ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ يَدِي ، فَلَكِ اللَّهَ أَنْ لاَ أَضُرَّكِ ، فَفَعَلَتْ ، وَأُطْلِقَتْ يَدُهُ ، وَدَعَا الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ : إِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا أَتَيْتَنِي بِشَيْطَانٍ ، وَلَمْ تَأْتِنِي بِإِنْسَانٍ ، فَأَخْرِجْهَا مِنْ أَرْضِي ، وَأَعْطِهَا هَاجَرَ.قَالَ : فَأَقْبَلَتْ تَمْشِي ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ انْصَرَفَ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : مَهْيَمْ ؟ قَالَتْ : خَيْرًا ، كَفَّ اللَّهُ يَدَ الْفَاجِرِ ،وَأَخْدَمَ خَادِمًا قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : فَتِلْكَ أُمُّكُمْ يَا بَنِي مَاءِ السَّمَاءِ.
