Abdullaah ibn Aboo al-Aswad narrated to me; Al-Fadl ibn al-Alaa narrated to us; Ismaaeel ibn Umayyah narrated to us;
from Yahyaa ibn Abdullaah as-Sayfee; that he heard Aboo Mabad, the freed slave of ibn Abbaas saying; I heard ibn
Abbaas say, When the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) sent Muaadh to the people of Yemen
he said to him, Verily, you are going to a nation from the People of the Book, so let the first thing
you call them to be the tawheed of Allaah. If they understand that, tell them that Allaah has
obligated five prayers upon them to be prayed during the day and night. If they pray, then inform
them that Allaah has obligated upon them the giving of Zakaah from their properties, it is to be
taken from the rich and given to the poor. If they agree to that, take (the Zakaah) from them, but
avoid the best and most beloved property of the people.

Ashath ibn Sulaym; that they heard al-Aswad ibn Hilaal [say]; from Muaadh ibn Jabal who said that the Prophet
(sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said, O Muaadh! Do you know what is the right of Allaah upon (His)
servants? I replied, Allaah and His Messenger know best. He said, that they worship Him
(Alone) and not associate any partners with Him. Do you know what (the servants) right is upon
Him (Allaah)? I replied, Allaah and His Messenger know best. He said, that He not punish
them (if they do so).

Ismaaeel narrated to us; Maalik ibn Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Abdullaah ibn Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Aboo Sasaah narrated to
me; from his father; from Aboo Saeed al-Khudree that a person heard another person reciting, Say: He is
Allaah the One
1
and repeating it over and over. The next morning the man went to the Prophet
(sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) and informed him about that, as if he considered that the recitation
the soorah alone was not enough. The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said,
by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, it is equivalent to one third of the Quraan.
Ismaaeel ibn Jafar added to this; from Maalik ibn Abdur-Rahmaan; from his father; from Aboo Saeed (saying); my
brother Qataadah bin Numaan informed me; from the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam).

Ahmad ibn Saalih narrated to us; ibn Wahb narrated to us; Amr narrated to us; from ibn Aboo Hilaal; that Aboo ar-Rijaal
Muhammad ibn Abdur-Rahmaan narrated to him; from his mother, Amrah bint Abdur-Rahmaan who used to be in the
room of Aaishah, the wife of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam); from Aaishah that, The Prophet
(sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) sent a man amongst a military expedition and he used to lead his
companions in prayer and concluded his recitation with Say: He is Allaah the One
2
. When they
returned (from the battle), they mentioned this to the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) who
replied, ask him why he did this. Consequently, they asked him and he replied, because it
(mentions) the description of ar-Rahmaan and I love to recite it (in prayer). The Prophet
(sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said (to them), Inform him that Allaah Loves him.

Aboo Numaan narrated to us; Hammaad ibn Zayd narrated to us; from Aasim al-Ahwal; from Aboo Uthmaan an-
Nahdee; from Usaamah ibn Zayd who said: We were in the presence of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa
sallam) when there came to him a messenger from one of his daughters asking him to visit her
son who was in the pangs of death. The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said to him,
Return and inform her that to Allaah belongs what He takes and what He gives. Everything has
an appointed time determined by Him, so enjoin her to be patient and to hope for Allaahs
reward. She sent the messenger again this time, swearing that he should come to her. The
Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam), along with Sad ibn Ubaadah and Muaadh ibn Jabal,
stood (and went to her). The child was brought to him, and the sound of his breathing was
ragged as if it were in a dry water-skin. Upon seeing this the Prophets eyes filled with tears.
Sad asked him, What is this O Messenger of Allaah? He replied, This is mercy which Allaah
places in the hearts of His servants. Indeed Allaah shows mercy only to his merciful servants.

Abdaan narrated to us; from Aboo Hamzah; from al-Amash; from Saeed ibn Jubayr; from Aboo Abdir-Rahmaan as-
Sulamee; from Aboo Moosaa al-Asharee who said that the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: There is no one
who is more patient than Allaah upon hearing insulting and blasphemous words (from the
people). They claim that He has a son, yet despite this He grants them health and sustenance.
