Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā al-Naysābūrī related to us. He said: Al-Jārūd ibn Yazīd related to us. He said: Abū Ḥanīfa related to us, from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather: Someone asked the Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace: “What makes the full ritual bath obligatory, Messenger of God?” He said: “When the two circumcised parts meet and the glans disappears, the full ritual bath becomes obligatory, whether or not there is ejaculation.”

Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAlī ibn Yaḥyā informed us. He said: Al-Jārūd ibn Yazīd related to us. He said: Abū Ḥanīfa related to us, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Rawwād, from Shuraḥbīl, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, entered my house. I brought him meat and he ate. He called for water, washed his hands, rinsed his mouth and prayed, without renewing his ablution.

Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAlī related to us. He said: Al-Jārūd ibn Yazīd related to us. He said: Abū Ḥanīfa related to us, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn al-Sāʾib, from his father, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, who said: The sun was eclipsed on the day Ibrāhīm, the son of the Messenger of God, died. The people said: “It was eclipsed because Ibrāhīm died.” The Prophet, peace be upon him, stood and prolonged his standing until they thought he would not bow. Then he bowed, and his bowing lasted as long as his standing. He raised his head from bowing, and his standing lasted as long as the bowing. Then he prostrated, and his prostration lasted as long as his standing. He sat, and his sitting between the two prostrations lasted as long as the prostration. He performed the second prayer unit in the same way. During the final prostration he wept intensely, and we heard him say: “O God, did You not promise me that You would not punish them while I am among them?” Then he sat, recited the testimony and finished. Turning to face them, he said: “The sun and moon are two of God’s signs. They are not eclipsed for anyone’s death or life. When this happens, resort to prayer. I saw myself brought so close to Paradise that, had I wished to take a branch from its branches, I could have done so. I saw myself brought so close to the Fire that I began shielding myself and you from its flames. I saw there the thief of the Messenger of God’s she-camel being punished by fire. I saw there the slave of Banū Daʿdaʿ, who stole from pilgrims with his hooked staff. And I saw there a tall, dark-skinned Ḥimyarite woman being punished over a cat of hers: she had tied it up, neither feeding nor watering it, nor letting it eat the small creatures of the earth.”

He said: Al-Jārūd ibn Yazīd related to us, from Abū Ḥanīfa, from Shaybān al-Baṣrī, from Yaḥyā ibn Abī Kathīr, from al-Muhājir, from Abū Hurayra, may God be pleased with him, who said: When a proposal was made to the Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, for one of his daughters, he would go to her private chamber and say: “So-and-so mentions so-and-so.” Then he would go and arrange the marriage.

He said: Al-Jārūd ibn Yazīd informed us, from Abū Ḥanīfa, from Ḥammād, from Ibrāhīm, may God have mercy on them, who said: The slaughter of one life does not constitute the slaughter of two lives.

He said: Abū Ḥanīfa related to us, from Ḥammād, from Ibrāhīm, may God have mercy on them, who said: The first to sit on the pulpit, the first to reduce the takbīr and salutation, the first to bring out pulpits on the two festivals and put the sermon before the prayer was Muʿāwiya. The first to reduce the iqāma, making its phrases single, was Muʿāwiya. He was a stout, corpulent man, and standing was difficult for him when he went out to prayer, so he instructed them to give the iqāma with single phrases.

The printed فربه is understood here as a description of corpulence alongside بادناً; the text is not silently emended.

Teach me something that will suffice for me in place of the Qurʾan.” The Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, told him: “Glory be to God; praise be to God; there is no god but God; God is greatest; there is no power or strength except through God.” The man said: “This is for God.

Whoever says it in the evening has said the equivalent of what people say throughout their night, except someone who says the same or more.”
