I have been given the Quran and something like it; yet the time is coming when a man replete on his couch will say: Keep to the Quran; what you find in it to be permissible treat as permissible; and what you find in it to be prohibited treat as prohibited. Beware! The domestic ass; beasts of prey with fangs; a find belonging to confederate; unless its owner does not want it; are not permissible to you If anyone comes to some people; they must entertain him; but if they do not; he has a right to mulct them to an amount equivalent to his entertainment. | The Chapter on Ignorance And Knowledge in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Adherence To The Sunnah in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-25828 | | Yazid Bin Umairah; who was one of the companions of Muadh Bin Jabal said: Whenever he muadh Bin jabal sat in a meeting for preaching; he would say: Allah is a just arbiter; those who doubt would perish. One day Muadh Bin jabal said: In the times after you there would be trails in which riches would be abundant. During these trails the Quran would be easy so much so that every believer; hypocrite; man; woman; young; grown up; slave and free man will learn it. Then a man might say: What happened with the people that they do not follow me while I read the Quran? They are not going to follow me until I introduce a novelty for them other than it. So avoid that which is innovated in religion ; for whichever is innovated is an error. I warn you of the deviation of a scholar from right guidance; for sometimes Satan utters a word of error through the tongue of a scholar; and sometimes a hypocrites may speak a word of truth. I said to Muadh Bin jabal: I am at a loss to understand may Allah have mercy on you that a learned man sometimes may speak a word of error and a hypocrite may speak a word of truth. He replied: Yes; avoid the speech of a learned man on distract you from him the learned ; for it is possible that he may withdraw from these well-known things ; and you get the truth when you hear it; for truth has light.Abu Dawud said: In this tradition Mamar on the authority of AlZuhrl said: The words wa la yun iyannaka instead of wa la yuthniyannaka; with the same meaning: it may not distract you salih Bin Kaisan on the authority of AlZurhrl said in this tradition the words Almushtaharat well-know things. He also said the word La yuthniyannaka as Uqail mentioned. Ibn ishaq; on the authority of AlZuhri; said: Yes; if you are doubtful about the speech of a scholar until you say: WHAT did he mean by this word? | The Chapter on Truth And Hypocrisy And Dreams in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Adherence To The Sunnah in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-25849 | | Ibn Abbas said: Abu Huraira said that a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I saw in my dream a piece of cloud from which ghee and honey were dropping. I saw the people spreading their hands. Some of them took much and some a little. I also saw a rope hanging from Heaven to Earth. I saw; Messenger of Allah; that you caught hold of it and ascended by it. Then another man caught hold of it and ascended it. Then another man caught hold of it and ascended it. Then another man caught hold of it; but it broke; and then it was joined and he ascended it. Abu Bakr said: May my parents be sacrificed for you; if you allow; I shall interpret it. He said: Interpret it. He said: The piece of cloud is the cloud of Islam; the ghee and honey that were dropping from it are the Quran; which contains softness and sweetness. Those who received much or little of it are those who learn much or little of the Quran. The rope hanging from Heaven to Earth is the truth which you are following. You catch hold of it and then Allah will raise you to Him. Then another man will catch hold of it and ascend it; Then another man will catch hold of it and it will break. But it will be joined and he will ascend it. Tell me. Messenger of Allah; whether I am right or wrong. He said: You are partly right and partly wrong. He said: I adjure you by Allah; you should tell me where I am wrong. The Prophet ﷺ said: Do not take an oath. | The Chapter on Games And Hunting And Alquran in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on The Caliphs in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-25985 | | Salamah Bin Kuhail said: Zaid Bin Wahb AlJuhani told us that he was in the army which proceeded to fight with the Khawarij in the company of Ali. Ali then said: O people! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: there will appear from among my community people who recite the Quran; and your recitation has no comparison with their recitation; and your prayer has no comparison with their prayer; and your fasts have no comparison with their fasts. They will recite the Quran thinking that it is beneficial for them; while it is harmful for them. Their prayer will not pass their collar-bones. They will swerve from Islam as an arrow goes through the animal shot at. If the army that is approaching them knows what reward has been decided for them at the tongue of their Prophet ﷺ ; they would leave other good activities. The sign of that is that among them there will be a man who has an upper arm; but not hand; on his upper arm there will be something like the nipple of a female breast; having white hair thereon. Will you go to Muawiyah and the people of Syria; and leave them behind among your children and property? I swear by Allah; I hope these are the same people; for they shed the blood unlawfully; and attacked the cattle of the people so go on in the name of Allah. Salamah Bin Kuhail said: Zaid Bin Wahb then informed me of all the halting places one by one; saying : Until we passed a bridge. When we fought with each other; Abdullah Bin Wahb AlRasibi; who was the leader of the Khawarij; said to them: Throw away the lances and pull out the swords from their sheaths; for I am afraid they will adjure you as they had adjured on the day of Harura. So they threw away their lances and pulled out their swords; and the people pierced them with their lances. They were killed lying one on the other. On that day only two persons of the partisans of Ali were afflicted. Ali said: Search for the man with the crippled hand. But they could not find him. Then Ali got up himself and went to the people who had been killed and were lying on one another. He said: Take them out. They found him just near the ground. So he shouted: Allah is Most Great! He said: Allah spoke the truth; and His Apostle has conveyed. Ubaidat AlSalmani stood up to him; saying: Commander of the Faithful! Have you heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? He said: Yes; by him; there is no God but He. He put to swear thrice and he swore. | The Chapter on Horses Islam And Alquran in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Fighting Against The Khawarij in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

He sent them to a certain territory on some mission saying: You are sturdy and vigorous people; hence display your power for religion. He then stood and entered the toilet. He then came out and called for water and took a handful of it. Then he wiped his hands with it and began to recite the Quran. They were surprised at this action. Thereupon he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out from the privy and taught us the Quran and took meat with us. Nothing prevented him; or the narrator said: Nothing prevented him from reciting the Quran except sexual defilement. | The Chapter on Assignments And Rewards in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on The Sexually Impure Person Reciting Quran in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-26952 | | Abu Huraira reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying : it is better for a mans belly to be full of pus than to be full of poetry.Abu Ali said : I have been told that Abu Ubaid said : It means that his heart is full of poetry so much so that it makes him neglectful of the Quran and remembrance of Allah. If the Quran and the knowledge of religion are dominant; the belly will not be full of poetry in our opinion. Some eloquent speech is magic. It means that a man expresses his eloquence by praising another man; and he speaks the truth about him so much so that he attracts the hearts to his speech. He then condemns him and speaks the truth about him so much so that he attracts the hearts to another of his speech; as if he spelled the audience by it. | The Chapter on Truth And Hypocrisy And Dreams in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on What has been narrated about poetry in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-27562 | | Amr Bin Salamah said ; we lived at a place where the people would pass by us when they came to the prophet ﷺ. When they returned they would again pass by us. And they used to inform us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said so and-so. I was a boy with a good memory. From the process I memorized a large portion of the Quran. Then my father went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with a group of his clan. He the Prophet taught them prayer. And he said: The one of you who knows most of the Quran should act as your imam. I knew the Quran better than most of them because I had memorized it. They; therefore; put me in front of them; and I would lead them in prayer. I wore a small yellow mantle which; when I prostrated myself; went up on me; and a woman of the clan said: Cover the back side of your leader from us. So they bought an Ammani shirt for me; and I have never been so pleased about anything after embracing Islam as I was about that shirt. I used to lead them in prayer and I was only seven or eight year old. | The Chapter on Manners And Attitudes And Anger in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Who Has More Right To Be Imam in Sunan Abu Dawoud |
| SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-27564 | | Amr Bin Salamah reported on the authority of his father Salamah that they visited the Prophet ﷺ. When they intended to return; they said: Messenger of Allah; who will lead us in prayer? He said: The one of you who knows most of the Quran; or memorizes most of the Quran; should act as your imam. There was none in the clan who knew more of the Quran than I did. They; therefore; put me in front of them and I was only a boy. And I wore a mantle; Whenever I was present in the gathering of Jarm name of his clan ; I would act as their Imam; and lead them in their funeral prayer until today.Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Amr Bin Salamah through a different chain of transmitter. This version has: When my clan visited the Prophet ﷺ....

Uthman replied: When the verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet ﷺ ; he called someone to write them down for him and said to him: Put this verse in the surah in which such and such has been mentioned; and when one or two verses were revealed; he used to say similarly regarding them. Surah AlAnfal is the first surah that was revealed at Medina; and Surah AlBaraah was revealed last in the Quran; and its contents were similar to those of AlAnfal. I; therefore; thought that it was a part of AlAnfal. Hence I put them in the category of AlSabu AlTiwal the seven lengthy surahs ; and I did not write In the name of Allah; the Compassionate; the Merciful between them. | The Chapter on Recitations Of Mercy Suras in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on Those Who Recited It Out Loud in Sunan Abu Dawoud |

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.

We Joined the row behind Abu Nuaim; while Abu Nuaim was reciting the Quran loudly. Then Ubadah began to recite the Umm AlQuran I.e Surah AlFatihah.

When he finished he turned his face to us and said: Do you recite when I recite the Quran loudly?
