Narrated Abu Dhar:
Allah's Apostle
said, "While I was at Mecca the roof of my house was opened and
Gabriel descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zam-zam water.
Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith and having
poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand
and ascended with me to the nearest heaven, when I reached the nearest
heaven, Gabriel said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the
gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel answered:
'Gabriel.' He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Gabriel replied,
'Yes, Muhammad I is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel
said, 'Yes.' So the gate was opened and we went over the nearest
heaven and there we saw a man sitting with some people on his right
and some on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and
when he looked toward his left he wept. Then he said, 'Welcome! O
pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?' He
replied, 'He is Adam and the people on his right and left are the
souls of his offspring. Those on his right are the people of Paradise
and those on his left are the people of Hell and when he looks towards
his right he laughs and when he looks towards his left he weeps.'
Then he ascended
with me till he reached the second heaven and he (Gabriel) said to its
gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as
the gatekeeper of the first heaven had said and he opened the gate.
Anas said: "Abu Dhar added that the Prophet met Adam, Idris, Moses,
Jesus and Abraham, he (Abu Dhar) did not mention on which heaven they
were but he mentioned that he (the Prophet ) met Adarn on the nearest
heaven and Abraham on the sixth heaven. Anas said, "When Gabriel along
with the Prophet passed by Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome! O pious
Prophet and pious brother.' The Prophet asked, 'Who is he?' Gabriel
replied, 'He is Idris." The Prophet added, "I passed by Moses and he
said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious brother.' I asked Gabriel,
'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Moses.' Then I passed by Jesus
and he said, 'Welcome! O pious brother and pious Prophet.' I asked,
'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Jesus.
Then I passed by
Abraham and he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked
Gabriel, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Abraham. The Prophet
added, 'Then Gabriel ascended with me to a place where I heard the
creaking of the pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik said: The Prophet
said, "Then Allah enjoined fifty prayers on my followers when I
returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Moses who asked me,
'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has
enjoined fifty prayers on them.' Moses said, 'Go back to your Lord
(and appeal for reduction) for your followers will not be able to bear
it.' (So I went back to Allah and requested for reduction) and He
reduced it to half. When I passed by Moses again and informed him
about it, he said, 'Go back to your Lord as your followers will not be
able to bear it.' So I returned to Allah and requested for further
reduction and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Moses and he
said to me: 'Return to your Lord, for your followers will not be able
to bear it. So I returned to Allah and He said, 'These are five
prayers and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward) for My Word does
not change.' I returned to Moses and he told me to go back once again.
I replied, 'Now I feel shy of asking my Lord again.' Then Gabriel took
me till we '' reached Sidrat-il-Muntaha (Lote tree of; the utmost
boundry) which was shrouded in colors, indescribable. Then I was
admitted into Paradise where I found small (tents or) walls (made) of
pearls and its earth was of musk."

have been warned.' He repeated this thrice. The people came out for
their jobs and some of them said, 'Muhammad (has come).' (Some of our

captives, and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, 'O Allah's

(ceremony) and at night she sent her as a bride to the Prophet . So
the Prophet was a bridegroom and he said, 'Whoever has anything (food)

so much." So the Prophet bent his legs, faced the Qibla and performed
two prostrations (of Sahu) and finished his prayers with Tasiim (by
turning his face to right and left saying: 'As-Salamu'Alaikum-Warahmat-ullah').
When he turned his face to us he said, "If there had been anything
changed in the prayer, surely I would have informed you but I am a
human being like you and liable to forget like you. So if I forget
remind me and if anyone of you is doubtful about his prayer, he should
follow what he thinks to be correct and complete his prayer
accordingly and finish it and do two prostrations (of Sahu)."

you (people) the station of Abraham as a place of prayer (for some of
your prayers e.g. two Rakat of Tawaf of Ka'ba)". (2.125)
2. And as regards
the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I
wish you ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because
good and bad ones talk to them.' So the verse of the veiling of the
women was revealed.
3. Once the wives of
the Prophet made a united front against the Prophet and I said to
them, 'It may be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord
(Allah) will give him instead of you wives better than you.' So this

graves of the pagans be dug out and the unleveled land be level led
and the date-palm trees be cut down . (So all that was done). They

(the wife of the
Prophet) I had seen my parents following Islam since I attained the
age of puberty. Not a day passed but the Prophet visited us, both in
the mornings and evenings. My father Abii Bakr thought of building a
mosque in the courtyard of his house and he did so. He used to pray
and recite the Qur'an in it. The pagan women and their children used
to stand by him and look at him with surprise. Abu Bakr was a
Softhearted person and could not help weeping while reciting the Quran.
The chiefs of the Quraish pagans became afraid of that (i.e. that
their children and women might be affected by the recitation of Quran)."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"The prayer offered in congregation is twenty five times more superior
(in reward) to the prayer offered alone in one's house or in a
business center, because if one performs ablution and does it
perfectly, and then proceeds to the mosque with the sole intention of
praying, then for each step which he takes towards the mosque, Allah
upgrades him a degree in reward and (forgives) crosses out one sin
till he enters the mosque. When he enters the mosque he is considered
in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer and the angels keep
on asking for Allah's forgiveness for him and they keep on saying: 'O
Allah! Be Merciful to him, O Allah! Forgive him, as long as he keeps
on sitting at his praying place and does not pass wind. (See Hadith
No. 620).

Abu Huraira said,
"Allah's Apostle led us in one of the two 'Isha' prayers (Abu Huraira
named that prayer but I forgot it)." Abu Huraira added, "He prayed two
Rakat and then finished the prayer with Tasllm. He stood up near a
piece of wood Lying across the mosque and leaned on it in such a way
as if he was angry. Then he put his right hand over the left and
clasped his hands by interlacing his fingers and then put his J right
cheek on the back of his left hand. The people who were in haste left
the mosque through its gates. They wondered whether the prayer was
reduced. And amongst them were Abu Bakr and 'Umar but they hesitated
to ask the Prophet. A long-handed man called Dhul-Yadain asked the
Prophet, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have you; forgotten or has the prayer
been reduced?' The Prophet replied, 'I have neither forgotten nor has
the prayer been reduced' The Prophet added, 'Is what Dhul Yadain has
said true?' They (the people) said, 'Yes, it is true.' The Prophet
stood up again and led the prayer, completing the remaining prayer,
forgotten by him, and performed Talsrm, and then said, 'Allahu Akbar.'
And then he did a prostration as he used to prostrate or longer than
that. He then raised his head saying, 'Allahu Akbar; he then again
said, 'Allahu Akbar', and prostrated as he used to prostrate or longer
than that. Then he raised his head and said, 'Allahu Akbar.' " (The
subnarrator added, "I think that they asked (Ibn Sirin) whether the
Prophet completed the prayer with Taslim. He replied, "I heard that 'Imran
bin Husain had said, 'Then he (the Prophet) did Taslim.")
