| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-27135 | | Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: Ikrimah said: A group of people from Iraq said: Ibn Abbas; what is your opinion about the verse in which we have been commanded whatever we have been commanded; but no one acts upon it? The word of Allah; Most High; reads: O ye who believe! Let those whom your right hands possess; and the children among you; who have not come of age; ask your permission before they enter your presence on three occasions: before morning prayer; while you are undressing for the noonday heat; and after late-night prayer. These are your three times of undress; outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about. AlQanabi recited the verse up to full of knowledge and wisdom. Ibn Abbas said: Allah is Most Clement and Most Merciful to the believers. He loves concealment. The people had neither curtains nor curtained canopies in their houses. Sometimes a servant; a child or a female orphan of a man entered while the man was having sexual intercourse with his wife. So Allah commanded them to ask permission in those times of undress. Then Allah brought them curtains and all good things. But I did not see anyone following it after that.Abu Dawud said: The tradition of Ubaid Allah and of Ata; weakens this tradition. | The Chapter on Premises in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Asking permission to enter at the three times of undress in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-27430 | | Anas Bin Malik reported: Messenger of Allah ﷺ came over to Medina and encamped at the upper side of Medina among the tribe known as Banu Amr Bin Awuf. He stayed among them for fourteen days. He then sent someone to call Banu AlNajjar. They came to him hanging their swords from the necks. Anas then said: As if I am looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting on his mount and Abu Bakr seated behind him; and Banu AlNajjar standing around him. He descended in the courtyard of Abu Ayoub. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would say his prayer in the folds of the sheep and goats. He commanded us to build a Masjid. He then sent for Banu AlNajjar and said to them: Banu AlNajjar; sell this land of yours to me for some price. They replied: By Allah; we do not want any price from you except from Allah. Anas said: I tell what this land contained. It contained the graves of the disbelievers; dung-hills; and some trees of date-palm. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded and the graves of the disbelievers were dug open; and the trees of the date-palm were cut off. The wood of the date-palm were erected in front of the Masjid ; the door-steps wre built of stone. They were reciting verses carrying the stones. The Prophet ﷺ also joined them in reciting verses saying: O Allah; there is no good except the good of the Hereafter. So grant you aid to the Ansar and the Muhajirah. | The Chapter on Agriculture In Almadinah in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on On The Reward Of Building Masajid in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-27483 | | Ibn Abi Laila said: Prayer passed through three stages. And out people narrated to us that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said; it is to my liking that the prayer of Muslims or believers should be united i.e.; in congregation ; so much so that I intended to send people to the houses to announce the time of prayer; and I also resolved that I should order people to stand at the tops of the forts and announce the time of the prayer for Muslims; and they struck the bell or were about to strike the bell to announce the time for prayer. Then came a person from among the Ansar who said: Messenger of Allah; when I returned from you; as I saw your anxiety. I saw in sleep a person with two green clothes on him; he stood on the Masjid and called people to prayer. He then sat down for a short while and stood up and pronounced in a like manner; except that he added: The time for prayer has come. If the people did not call me a liar ; and according to the version of Ibn AlMuthanna; if you did not call me a liar. I would say that I was awake; I was awake; I was not asleep. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: According to the version of Ibn AlMuthanna; Allah has shown you a good dream. But the version of Amr does not have the words: Allah has shown you a good dream. Then ask Bilal to pronounce the ADHAN to call to the prayer. Umar in the meantime said: I also had a dream like the one he had. But as he informed earlier. I was ashamed to inform. Our people have narrated to us: when a person came to the Masjid during the prayer in congregation ; he would ask about the RAKAHS of prayer ; and he would be informed about the number of RAKAHS already performed. They would stand in prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : some in standing position; others bowing; some sitting and some praying along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ Ibn AlMuthanna reported from Amr from Hussain Bin Abi Laila; saying ; Until Muadh came. Shubah said ; I heard it from Hussain who said : I shall follow the position in the prayer in which I find him the prophet... you should do in a similar way.Abu Dawud said: I then turned to the tradition reported by Amr Bin Marzuq he said; then Maadh came and they the people hinted at him. Shubah said; I heard it from hussain who said: Muadh then said; I shall follow the position in the prayer when I join it in which I find him the prophet. He then said: Muadh has prayer when I join it in which I find him the prophet. He then said: MUadh has introduced for you a SUNNAH a model behaviour ; so you should do in a like manner.He said; our people have narrated to us; when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madina; he commanded them the people to keep fast for three days. Thereafter the Quranic verses with regard to the fasts during Ramadan were revealed. But they were people who were not accustomed to keep fast ; hence the keeping of the fasts was hard for them; so those who could not keep fast would feed an indigent; then the month. The concession was granted to the patient and the traveler; all were commanded to keep fast. | The Chapter on Prayers And Bowing in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on How The Adhan Is Performed in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

We said to one of them: Ask Ibn Abbas: Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite the Quran in the noon and afternoon prayers? He replied: No. People said to him: Perhaps he might recite the Quran quietly. He said: May your face be scratched a kind of curse ! This statement is worse than the former. He was only a servant of Allah receiving Commands from Him. He preached the divine message which he brought with him. He did not command anything to us Banu Hashim specially excluding other people except three points: he commanded us to perform ablution perfectly; and not to accept charity sadaqah and not to make pairing of donkey with horse. | The Chapter on Truth And Hypocrisy And Killing in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on The Amount Of Recitation In Zuhr and Asr in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

We are able to come to you only in the sacred month. So give a decisive command which we may follow ourselves and to which we call those at home behind us. He the Prophet said: I command you to observe four things; and forbade you four things: Belief in Allah. the testimony that there is no god but Allah; and he expresses one by folding his hand. Mousadad version has: Faith in Allah; and he explained to them: The testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; observance of prayer; payment of zakat; and your giving the filth of the booty. I forbid you the use of pumpkins; green jarrs; vessels smeared with pitch; and hollow stumps of palm-trees. Ibn Ubaid version has word muqayar vessels smeared with pitch instead of naqir hollow stumps.

He said: On every pasturing animal there is a Fara which is fed by your cattle till it becomes strong and capable of carrying load. The narrator Nasr said in his version : When it becomes capable of carrying load of the pilgrims; you may slaughter it and give its meat as charity sadaqah.

| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-29234 | | Narrated Malik Bin Aws Bin AlHadathan: Umar sent for me when the day rose high. I found him sitting on a couch without cover. When I entered upon him; he said: Malik; some people of you tribe gradually came here; and I have ordered to give them something; so distribute it among them. I said: If you assigned this work to some other person; it would be better. He said: Take it. Then Yarfa came to him and said: Commander of the Faithful; will you permit Uthman Bin Affan; Abdulrahman Bin Awuf ; AlZubair Bin AlAwam; and Saad b; Abi Waqqas to enter ? He said: Yes. So he permitted them and they entered. Yarfa again came to him and said: Commander of the Faithful; would you permit AlAbbas and Ali ? He said: Yes. He then permitted them and they entered. AlAbbas said: Commander of Faithful; decide between me and this; referring to Ali. Some of them said: Yes; Commander of the Faithful; decide between them and give them comfort. Malik Bin Aws said: It occurred to me that both of them brought the other people for this. Umar said: Show patience do not make haste. He then turned towards those people and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We are not inherited whatever we leave is sadaqah alms. They said: Yes. He then turned towards Ali and AlAbbas and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We are not inherited whatever we leave is sadaqah alms. They said: Yes. He then said: Allah has appointed for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a special portion in the booty which he did not do for anyone. Allah; Most High; said: What Allah has bestowed on His Apostle and taken away from them - for this ye made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry. But Allah gives power to His apostles over any He pleases ; and Allah has power over all things. Allah bestowed the property of Banu AlNadir on His Apostle. I swear by Allah; he did not reserve it for himself; nor did he take it over and above you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to his share for his maintenance annually; or used to take his contribution and give his family their annual contribution from this property ; then take what remained and deal with it as he did with Allah property. He then turned towards those people and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that ? They said: Yes. He then turned towards Ali and AlAbbas and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that ? They said: Yes. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died; Abu Bakr said: I am the protector of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then you and this Ali came to Abu Bakr; demanding a share from the inheritance of your cousin; and this Ali demanding the share of his wife from the property of her father. Abu Bakr then said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We are not inherited. Whatever we leave is sadaqah. Allah knows that he Abu Bakr was true; faithful; rightly-guided; and the follower of Triuth. Abu Bakr then administered it property of the Prophet. When Abu Bakr died; I said: I am the protector of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr. So I administered whatever Allah wished. Then you and this Ali came. Both of you are at one; and your matter is the same. So they asked me for it property ; and I said: If you wish I give it to you on condition that you are bound by the covenant of Allah; meaning that you will administer it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to administer. So you took it from me on that condition. Then again you have come to me so that I decide between you other than that. I swear by Allah; I shall not decide between you other than that till the Last Hour comes. If you helpless; return it to me.Abu Dawud said: They asked him for making it half between them; and not that they were ignorant of the fact the Prophet ﷺ said: We are not inherited. Whatever we leave is sadaqah alms. They were also seeking the truth. Umar then said: I do not apply the name of division to it ; It leave it on its former condition. | The Chapter on Contracts And Disputes And Charity in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Regarding Allocating A Special Portion For The Messenger Of Allah From Wealth in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-29338 | | Narrated Sakhr Ibn AlAyla AlAhmasi: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raided Thaqif. When Sakhr heard this; he proceeded on his horse along with some horsemen to support the Prophet ﷺ. He found the Prophet of Allah ﷺ had returned and he did not conquer Taif. On that day Sakhr made a covenant with Allah and had His protection that he would not depart from that fortress until they the inhabitants surrendered to the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He did not leave them until they had surrendered to the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Sakhr then wrote to him: To proceed: Thaqif have surrendered to your command; Messenger of Allah; and I am on my way to them. They have horses with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then ordered prayers to be offered in congregation. He then prayed for Ahmas ten times: O Allah; send blessings the horses and the men of Ahmas. The people came and Mughirah Ibn Shubah said to him: Prophet of Allah; Sakhr took my paternal aunt while she embraced Islam like other Muslims. He called him and said: Sakhr; when people embrace Islam; they have security of their blood and property. Give back to Mughirah his paternal aunt. So he returned his aunt to him and asked the Prophet of Allah ﷺ : What about Banu Sulaym who have run away for fear of Islam and left that water? He said: Prophet of Allah; allow me and my people to settle there. He said: Yes. So he allowed him to settle there. Banu Sulaym then embraced Islam; and they came to Sakhr. They asked him to return their water to them. But he refused. So they came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Prophet of Allah; we embraced Islam and came to Sakhr so that he might return our water to us. But he has refused. He the Prophet then came to him and said: When people embrace Islam; they secure their properties and blood. Return to the people their water. He said: Yes; Prophet of Allah. I saw that the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was reddening at that moment; being ashamed of taking back from him the slave-girl and the water. | The Chapter on Pre-Islam And Child Embracing Islam in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Allocation Of Land in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
