Sayyiduna Abu Amir’s son, Amir, says: I narrated this hadith to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not say «هُمࣿ منّيِ» after «وَاَنَا مِنهُمࣿ» , rather he said «وَإِلَيَّ» . Amir said: My father did not narrate it like this, rather he said «وَ اَنَا مِنࣿهُمࣿ» . So Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You would know your father’s hadith better.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was sitting in a gathering with his companions when Jibreel (peace be upon him) came in a changed form. The Prophet (peace be upon him) thought that he was a Muslim man. He greeted with salam, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) replied. Then he placed his hands on the knees of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by Islam? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Submit yourself before Allah, testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, establish prayer, and give zakat." He asked: If I do these things, will I be called a Muslim? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Yes! Then he asked: What is meant by Iman (faith)? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: To have faith in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the books, the prophets, death and life and what comes after death, Paradise and Hell, the reckoning and the balance, and to believe that all good and bad destiny is from Allah. He asked: If I do these things, will I become a believer? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Yes! Then he asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by Ihsan (excellence)? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state, then know that He sees you." He asked: If I do this, have I attained the rank of Ihsan? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Yes." The narrator says that we were hearing the answers of the Prophet (peace be upon him), but we could not see the person with whom the Prophet (peace be upon him) was conversing, nor could we hear his voice. Then the questioner asked: O Messenger of Allah! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) come? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Subhan Allah! There are five things of the unseen which none knows except Allah." (Then he recited this verse:) "Indeed, the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah alone, He sends down the rain," He alone knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in which land it will die. Surely Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware." Then the questioner said: O Messenger of Allah! If you wish, I can tell you two signs which will occur before the Hour? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Tell me." He said: When you see that a slave woman gives birth to her mistress, and those who build buildings are boasting over one another in buildings, and naked people have become the leaders of the people (then the Hour is near). The narrator asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who will these people be? He said: "The Bedouins." Then the questioner left, and afterwards we did not see his way. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said "Subhan Allah" three times and said: "That was Jibreel who came to teach people their religion. By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace be upon him), whenever Jibreel came to me (except this time), I recognized him (but this time I did not recognize him)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade initiating marriage with various women.

The hadith is also narrated through another chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Harith Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty commanded Yahya bin Zakariya (peace be upon him) regarding five things: that he should act upon them himself and also command the Children of Israel to act upon them. It was about to happen that Yahya (peace be upon him) delayed in this matter, so Isa (peace be upon him) said: You have been commanded regarding five things that you should act upon them yourself and command the Children of Israel to act upon them. Now, either you deliver this message yourself, otherwise I will deliver it. Yahya (peace be upon him) said: Brother! I fear that if you precede me in this, I will be punished or swallowed up by the earth. So after this, Yahya (peace be upon him) gathered the Children of Israel in Bayt al-Maqdis. When the mosque was filled, he sat on a mound, praised and glorified Allah, and said: Allah has commanded me regarding five things that I should act upon them myself and command you to act upon them as well. The first of these is that you worship Allah alone and do not associate anything with Him. Its example is like a person who buys a slave with his pure wealth, i.e., gold and silver, and that slave starts working for someone other than his master and gives his wages to him. So who among you would like his slave to do such a thing? Since Allah created you and provided for you, therefore worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him. I also command you to pray, because Allah turns all His attention to His servant as long as he does not look here and there. Therefore, when you pray, do not look to your right or left. I also command you to fast, because its example is like a person who comes to a gathering with a bottle of musk, and everyone senses its fragrance. And with Allah, the smell from the mouth of a fasting person is better than the fragrance of musk. I also command you to give charity, because its example is like a person whom the enemy has captured, tied his hands to his neck, and then takes him to kill him. He says to them: Are you willing to accept a ransom for my life? Then he starts offering whatever he can, little or much, as ransom for his life until he frees himself. And I command you to remember Allah abundantly, because its example is like a person whom the enemy is pursuing swiftly, and he takes refuge in a strong fortress. In the same way, as long as a servant remains engaged in the remembrance of Allah, he is in a fortress protected from the attacks of Satan.

After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I also command you regarding five things which Allah has commanded me to adopt: unity (congregation), listening to the ruler, obeying him, migration, and striving in the way of Allah (jihad). For whoever separates himself from the Muslim community even by a handspan, he throws off the collar of Islam from his neck, unless he returns to the community. And whoever calls out with the slogans of the time of ignorance, he is the fuel of Hell. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! Even if he prays and fasts? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Even if he prays and fasts and considers himself a Muslim. So call the Muslims by the names by which Allah has called His Muslim servants.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When any one of you loves his brother, he should inform him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib, may Allah be pleased with him, that he heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "It is obligatory upon every Muslim to take care of the guest for one night. If the guest remains deprived in the courtyard of his host until morning, then the host has become indebted to him; if he wishes, he may repay it, and if he wishes, he may leave it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "It is obligatory upon every Muslim to take care of the guest for one night; if the guest remains deprived in the courtyard of his host until morning, then the host has become indebted to him—he may repay it if he wishes, or he may forgo it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Behold! I have been given the Noble Qur’an and something like it along with it. Behold! I have been given the Noble Qur’an and something like it along with it. Behold! Soon a man will come who, reclining on his couch, will say: ‘Hold fast to the Qur’an; whatever you find in it as lawful, consider it lawful, and whatever you find in it as unlawful, consider it unlawful.’ Behold! The meat of domesticated donkeys is not lawful for you, nor any predatory animal with fangs, nor is the lost property of a dhimmi lawful, unless its owner has no need of it. And whoever becomes a guest with a people, it is incumbent upon them to host him. If they do not host him, he is permitted to treat them in the same manner regarding hospitality.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever dies leaving a debt behind, he is under the responsibility of Allah and His Messenger, and whoever dies leaving wealth, it will belong to his heirs. And the maternal uncle is the heir of the one who has no heir, and I am the heir of the one who has no heir; I am his heir and I will pay his blood money on his behalf."
