It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: We are an unlettered nation; we do not know calculation. Sometimes the month is like this, like this, and like this. The third time, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, folded his thumb.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that after performing the Fajr prayer on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from Mina and, upon reaching the plain of Arafat, camped near Masjid Namirah, where nowadays the Imam comes and camps. When the time for the Zuhr prayer approached, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived at the very beginning of the time and performed the Zuhr and Asr prayers together, then delivered a sermon. After that, he left from there and proceeded to the place of standing in the plain of Arafat.

Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) preferred to perform the Zuhr prayer of the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah in Mina as much as possible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also performed the Zuhr prayer in Mina on that day.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was returning from Hajj, he performed prayer in the valley of Batha. Then, when he entered Madinah Munawwarah, he made his she-camel sit at the door of the Prophet’s Mosque, entered the mosque, and performed two rak‘ahs there as well. After that, he went to his home. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) himself used to do the same.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying from the pulpit: The duration of your existence compared to the previous people is like the time between Asr and Maghrib. The people of the Torah were given the Torah, so they acted upon it, but at midday they became unable to continue, so each of them was given one qirat. Then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel, and they acted upon it until Asr, but then they too became unable to continue, so each of them was given one qirat. Then you were given the Qur’an, and you acted upon it until Maghrib, so you were given two qirats each. Upon this, the people of the Torah and the Gospel said: O Lord! These people did little work but received greater reward. Allah said: Did I wrong you in your wages in any way? They said: No. Allah said: Then I bestow My bounty upon whom I will.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that there was a man from the Ansar who used to be deceived by people in trade, and he also had a stammer in his speech. He complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the deception he faced. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you make a sale, say: "There is no deception in this sale." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: By Allah, it seems as if I am still hearing him saying "La khilabah" while making a sale, and his tongue is faltering.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that a person should sell over his brother's sale, or send his marriage proposal over his brother's marriage proposal.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, among his heirs was a daughter who was born to Khawla bint Hakim bin Umayyah bin Harithah bin Al-Awqas. He had appointed his brother, Sayyiduna Qudamah bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him), as his executor. Both of them were my maternal uncles. I sent a marriage proposal for myself to Sayyiduna Uthman's daughter through Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him), which he accepted and married her to me. Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her mother and tempted her with wealth and riches, and she was swayed. The girl, seeing her mother's inclination, was also swayed, and both of them refused this relationship. Eventually, this matter was presented before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Qudamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! She is my brother's daughter. He himself entrusted her matter to me. I married her to her paternal cousin, Abdullah bin Umar. I did not fall short in seeking a suitable match or in considering what was best and proper, but she is a woman and, seeing her mother's inclination elsewhere, is being swayed." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "She is an orphan girl; her marriage should not be conducted without her permission." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: "By Allah, after she came into my possession, she was taken away from me and married to Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He said from the pulpit: May Allah forgive the tribe of Ghifar, may Allah keep the tribe of Aslam safe, and 'Usayyah disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the people of Hell enter Hell, a caller will proclaim: O people of Paradise! There will be no death for you here, and O people of Hell! There will be no death for you here; everyone will remain in their respective places forever.
