Al-Barā' (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Ibrahīm died, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is a wet nurse for him in Paradise."
Narrated by Bukhari
Ibrahīm, the son of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) from Māriyah the Copt, died when he was eighteen months old. So the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that Allah, the Almighty, had prepared someone in Paradise to breastfeed him until his suckling period would be completed.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Muslim's right over his fellow Muslim is six." It was said: What are they, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "When you meet him, greet him with peace; when he invites you, accept his invitation; when he seeks your advice, advise him; when he sneezes and praises Allah, say Tasmīt to him; when he falls sick, visit him; and when he dies, follow him."
Narrated by Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that a Muslim owes his fellow Muslim six things: First: To greet him with peace upon meeting him by saying: Peace be upon you, and he should return the greeting by saying: And may peace be upon you. Second: To accept his invitation when he invites you to a banquet or any other occasion. Third: To give him advice when he asks for it without flattering or cheating him. Fourth: When he sneezes and says: Alhamdu lillah (praise be to Allah), say Tashmīt to him by saying: Yarhamuka Allah (may Allah have mercy upon you); and he should reply by saying: Yahdīkum Allah was yuslih bālakum (may Allah guide you and set your affairs right). Fifth: To visit him and check on him when he is sick. Sixth: To pray over him when he dies and follow his funeral until he is buried.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the man who wears women's clothes and the woman who wears men's clothes.
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated with expulsion and dismissal from Allah's mercy for any man who imitates women in their peculiar clothing, whether in appearance, color, style, manner of dressing, adornment, or anything else. Or for a woman to imitate men in their peculiar clothing as well, and this is considered a major sin.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Jews and Christians do not dye (their grey hair), so do the opposite of what they do.”
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told the Companions that the Jews and Christians do not dye their hair or beards; rather, they leave grey hair as it is. So he ordered them to do the opposite of what the Jews and Christians do by dying their hair and beards.
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have not been ordered to build lofty mosques." Ibn ‘Abbās added: "You will surely adorn them as the Jews and Christians did (with their synagogues and churches)."
Narrated by Abu Daoud
The meaning of the 'Tashyeed' of the mosques here is building high and lofty mosques, as Al-Baghawi said. However, there is nothing wrong with building and strengthening the mosque and perfecting its construction in a professional way, yet without decoration, embellishment, and adornment; so long as it does not involve ostentation, showing off and seeking fame. This is supported by the Hadīth of ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān: "Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, Allah builds for him the like of it in Paradise." The mosque of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was made from adobe, its roof from palm branches, and its pillars from palm timber. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) did not add anything to it. When the wood and palm branches began to rot during the caliphate of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) he restored it to its original construction and added to it. During the caliphate of ‘Uthmān (may Allah be pleased with him) he added a lot to it, building its walls from stones and plaster, and making its pillars from stones and its roof from oak, thus adding to it what would strengthen it, not adorn it. All what he did was for stabilization and plastering, without embellishment and adornment. As for the engraved stones, they were not engraved by his command; rather, they simply happened to be engraved. Those who were not pleased with his act from among the Companions had no evidence supporting its (engraved stone) prohibition except the encouragement to follow the example of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) as well as that of ‘Umar, in the construction of the mosque while avoiding luxuries. Yet, it does not entail prohibition or dislike of strengthening mosques.
Jarīr ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: 'The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sent a brigade to (the tribe of) Khath‘am. Some of their people sought protection by resorting to prostration but were hastily killed. When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of that, he ordered half the blood money to be paid for them, saying: "I am not responsible for any Muslim who stays among the polytheists." They asked: "Why, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Their fires should not be visible to one another.''
Narrated by At-Termedhy - An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sent an army brigade to a group from the tribe of Khath‘am who were disbelievers. So, some of them resorted to prostration to show that they were Muslim. However, the Muslims hastened to kill them, thinking that they were polytheists, and because they stayed among the polytheists. When it was later confirmed that they (who prostrated) had converted to Islam, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) made their blood money half of that of Muslims. He did not give them a full blood money because they were the reason behind their own killing. The Shariah forbids staying in the land of the disbelievers, such that Muslims should not meet the disbelievers or their fires cross. This means that they should not be close enough to see each other's fire. The purpose is for the Muslims to disassociate themselves from disbelief and its people.
‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) say: "I will certainly expel the Jews and the Christians from the Arabian Peninsula until only Muslims are left in it."
Narrated by Muslim
In this Hadīth, ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) tells about the Prophet's determination to expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula so that there would not be two religions in the Peninsula and to keep it ever redolent of monotheism, with no trace of polytheism. That is because living near the disbelievers and socializing with them entail great evils, including the possibility of imitating them, admiring their beliefs, or assuming their mannerisms by the naive and gullible Muslims. Muslims must be distinguished and independent in their own homeland, and they should not mix with followers of the other religions. Hence, the Jews, Christians, Magi, and other disbelievers must be driven out of the Arabian Peninsula, which is exclusively for the Muslims. The Arabs are the first nation to receive the message of Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and their homeland is the place where revelation came down. Therefore, non-Muslims should never reside therein.
‘Abdullāh ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade throwing stones and said: "It does not kill the quarry or harm the enemy. Instead, it can gouge out an eye or break a tooth." Another narration reads: "A relative of Ibn Mughaffal threw a stone (using the index finger and the thumb), and he forbade him, saying: 'The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade throwing stones and said: 'It does not hunt a quarry.'' Then, he did it again. So, Ibn Mughaffal said: ‘I tell you that the Messenger of Allah forbade that and you do it again! I shall never talk to you again.'"
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
‘Abdullāh ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade throwing stones and said: "It does not kill the quarry." Another narration reads: "It does not hunt the game" - "or harm the enemy. Instead, it can gouge out an eye or break a tooth." Scholars said that the prohibited “throwing”, which is intended in this Hadīth, is the kind of throwing where one places a pebble between the right index finger and the left index finger or between the index finger and thumb, then placing the pebble on the thumb and flicking it with the index finger or placing it on the index finger and flicking it with the thumb. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this and justified it by saying that it can gouge out an eye or break a tooth if it hits someone and it cannot catch the quarry, because it is not strong enough, and it cannot ward off the enemy, because the enemy is repulsed by arrows, not by small pebbles. Then, one of his relatives came out and started throwing pebbles. So, he prohibited him from doing so and told him that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that. Then, he saw him doing that again, and he said: "I told you that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade throwing stones, and you are still doing it! I shall never speak to you again." He disassociated from him because he did something that violated a prohibition of the Prophet, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the effeminate men and the masculine women. He said: "Turn them out of your houses." Ibn ‘Abbās added: "So the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) turned so-and-so out, and ‘Umar turned so-and-so out.
Narrated by Bukhari
In this Hadīth, Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against the effeminate men (who imitate the appearance and manners of women) and the masculine women (who imitate the appearance and manners of men). He supplicated Allah to curse them and expel them from His mercy, because their behavior is an alteration of the creation of Allah, the Almighty. He then ordered Muslims to get them out of their homes and towns to ward off their evil and to maintain the purity and chastity of the Muslim households.
