Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Abdullah ibn Utbah ibn Masud said: Abdullah ibn Masud was informed of this story of a man. The people continued to visit him for a month or visited him many times (the narrator was not sure). He said: In this matter I hold the opinion that she should receive the type of dower given to women of her class with no diminution or excess, observe the waiting period ('iddah) and have her share of inheritance. If it is erroneous, that is from me and from Satan. Allah and His Messenger are free from its responsibility. Some people from Ashja got up; among them were al-Jarrah and Abu Sinan. They said: Ibn Masud, we bear witness that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave a decision for us regarding Birwa, daughter of Washiq, to the same effect as the decision you have given. Her husband was Hilal ibn Murrah al-Ashjai. Thereupon Abdullah ibn Masud was very pleased when his decision agreed with the decision of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم .

Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to a man: Would you like me to marry you to so-and-so? He said: Yes. He also said to the woman: Would you like me to marry you to so-and-so? She said: Yes. He then married one to the other. The man had sexual intercourse with her, but he did not fix any dower for her, nor did he give anything to her. He was one of those who participated in the expedition to al-Hudaybiyyah. One part of the expedition to al-Hudaybiyyah had a share in Khaybar. When he was nearing his death, he said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم married me to so-and-so, and I did not fix a dower for her, nor did I give anything to her. I call upon you as witness that I have given my share in Khaybar as her dower. So she took the share and sold it for one lakh (of dirhams). Abu Dawud said: The version of Umar bin al-Khattab added in the beginning of this tradition, and his version is more perfect. He reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: The best marriage is the one that is most easy. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to the man. The narrator then transmitted the rest of the tradition to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: I am afraid this tradition has been added later on, for the matter is otherwise.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم taught us the address in case of some need: Praise be to Allah from Whom we ask help and pardon, and in Whom we take refuge from the evils within ourselves.

I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. "You who believe, . . . fear Allah by Whom you ask your mutual rights, and reverence the wombs. Allah has been watching you. ". . . "you who believe, fear Allah as He should be feared, and die only as Muslims". . . . "you who believe, fear Allah as He should be feared, and die only as Muslims". . . . . "you who believe, fear Allah and say what is true. He will make your deeds sound, and forgive your sins. He who obeys Allah and His Messenger has achieved a mighty success. " The narrator, Muhammad ibn Sulayman, did mention the word "inna" (verily).

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم recited the tashahhud. . . . He then narrated the same tradition. In this version after the word "and His Messenger" he added the words: "He has sent him in truth as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner before the Hour. He who obeys Allah and His Prophet is on the right path, and he who disobeys them does not harm anyone except himself, and he does not harm Allah to the least.
