Hadith 60 - Bab 5 (Watchfulness)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with them) said: Once we were sitting in the company of Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) when there appeared a man dressed in very white clothes and having extraordinary black hair. No signs of fatigue of journey appeared on him and he was known to none of us. He sat down facing the Prophet (Peace be upon him) leaning his knees against the knees of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and placing both of his palms over his two thighs and said, "O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)! Tell me about Islam". He (Peace be upon him) replied, "Islam is to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah; that you observe Salat (prayers), pay Zakat, observe Saum (fasting) of Ramadan and perform Hajj (pilgrimage) of the House, provided you have resources of making journey to it." He replied: "You have spoken the truth." We were surprised to see that he had asked him and confirmed the correctness of the answers. He then enquired: "Tell me about Iman." He (Peace be upon him) said: "It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers and the Last Day and that you believe in preordainment (destiny), its bad and good consequences." He said, "You have spoken the truth." He then enquired: "Tell me about Ihsan." He (Peace be upon him) said, "It is to worship Allah as if you are seeing Him; and although you do not see Him, He sees you." He enquired: "Inform me about the Hour (i.e., the Day of Resurrection)." He (Peace be upon him) replied, "I have no more knowledge thereof than you". He said, "Inform me about some of its signs." He (Peace be upon him) said, "They are - that a bondswoman gives birth to her own master, and that you will find the barefooted, naked, poor shepherds competing one another in the construction of higher buildings." Then he departed. The Messenger of Allah kept silent for a while then he said to me, "O 'Umar! Do you know who the questioner was?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know better." The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "He was Jibril (Gabriel); he came to you to teach you your religion."

[Muslim]

Le calife ‘Omar (RA) a dit : « Alors que nous étions un jour assis auprès du Messager de Dieu (saws), voilà que se présenta à nous un homme dont les vêtements étaient très blanc et les cheveux très noirs. Il ne portait aucune marque de voyage et nul parmi nous ne le connaissait. Il s’avança pour venir s’asseoir e, face du Prophète (saws), plaçant ses genoux contre les siens et posant les paumes de ses mains sur ses cuisses. Il dit au Prophète : « informe-moi, O Mohammad, sur l’Islam ! ». Le Messager de Dieu (saws) dit : « L’Islam consiste à attester qu’il n’y a pas de divinité autre que Dieu et que Mohammad est le Messager de Dieu. Il consiste aussi à observer correctement la prière, à s’acquitter de l’aumône légale (zakat), à faire le jeûne de Ramadhân et à effectuer le pèlerinage de la Mecque  si on en a les moyens ». L’autre dit : « Tu as dit vrai ». Nous fûmes étonnés de voir cet homme s’informer auprès de lui et en même temps l’approuver. Puis il dit : « Informe-moi sur la foi ! ». Il lui dit : « La foi consiste aussi à croire à Dieu, en Ses anges, Ses livres, Ses Messagers et au jour dernier. Elle consiste aussi à croire au destin bon ou mauvais ». Il dit : « Tu as dit vrai ». Il dit encore : « Informe-moi sur la foi parfaite ! ». Il dit : « C’est le fait d’adorer Dieu comme si tu Le voyais, car si toi tu ne Le vois pas, Lui te voit ». Il dit : « Informe-moi sur l’Heure (du jugement dernier) ! ». Il dit : « Celui qui est interrogé n’en sait pas plus sur elle que celui qui l’interroge ». Il dit : « Informe-moi sur ses signes précurseurs ! ». Il dit : « Quand la femme donnera naissance à sa propre maîtresse. Quand tu verras le va-nu-pieds, les déguenillés et les gueux, gardiens de bêtes, se montrer chaque jour plus arrogants dans leurs constructions, voilà les signes de l’Heure ». Puis l’homme partit. Je restai un certain temps (trois jours) à ne rien demander sur cette affaire, puis le Messager de Dieu (saws) me dit : « ‘Omar ! Sais-tu qui est celui qui est venu m’interroger ? » Je dis :  « Dieu et Son Messager le savent mieux que moi ». Il dit : C’est l’Ange Gabriel venu vous apprendre votre religion ». (Rapporté par Moslem) 

Hadith 61 - Bab 5 (Watchfulness)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Dharr and Mu'adh bin Jabal (May Allah be pleased with them) reported that: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Fear Allah wherever you are, do good deeds after doing bad ones, the former will wipe out the latter, and behave decently towards people".

[At- Tirmidhi].

Selon Abou Dharr (RA) et Mou’adh Ibn Jabal (RA), le Messager de Dieu (saws) a dit : « Crains pieusement Dieu, quel que soit l’endroit où tu te trouves (seul ou avec des gens). Fais suivre la mauvaise action par la bone et voilà qu’elle l’efface. Sois affable et courtois avec les gens ». 

Hadith 62 - Bab 5 (Watchfulness)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: One day, I was riding behind the Prophet (Peace be upon him) when he said, "O boy! I will instruct you in some matters. Be watchful of Allah (Commandments of Allah), He will preserve you. Safeguard His Rights, He will be ever with you. If you beg, beg of Him Alone; and if you need assistance, supplicate to Allah Alone for help. And remember that if all the people gather to benefit you, they will not be able to benefit you except that which Allah had foreordained (for you); and if all of them gather to do harm to you, they will not be able to afflict you with anything other than that which Allah had pre-destined against you. The pens had been lifted and the ink had dried up".

[At- Tirmidhi].

Another narration is: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Safeguard the Commandments of Allah, you will find Him before you. Remember Him in prosperity and He will remember you in adversity. Be sure that which you miss, was not to hit you; and what hits you, was never to miss you. Remember that the Help of Allah is obtained with patience, and relief emerges after distress, prosperity follows adversity, and hardship is followed by ease".

Ibn ‘Abbas (RA) a dit :  « J’étais une fois assis en croupe sur la monture du Prophète (saws) quand il me dit : « Jeune homme ! Je vais t’enseigner ces quelques paroles : Observe les commandements de Dieu et Dieu te préservera. Observe les commandements de Dieu et tu trouveras Dieu à tes côtés. Quand tu demandes quelque chose, demande-la à Dieu. Quand tu as besoin d’aide, demande-la à Dieu. Sache que si tout le monde s’associait pour te faire du bien, ils ne pourront le faire que le bien que Dieu a déjà écrit pour toi. Que s’ils se coalisaient tous pour te faire du mal, ils ne pourraient te faire que le mal que Dieu a déjà écrit pour toi. Les calames (du destin) se sont depuis longtemps arrêtés d’écrire et l’encre des pages (du destin) est désormais bien sèche ». (Rapporté par Tirmidhi) 

Hadith 63 - Bab 5 (Watchfulness)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: You indulge in (bad) actions which are more insignificant to you than a hair while we considered them at the time of Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) to be great destroying sins".

[Al-Bukhari].

Anas (RA) a dit : « Vous faites certainement des choses qui son à vos yeux plus fines que les cheveux alors que du temps du Messager de Dieu (saws) nous les considérions comme des péchés mortels ». 

Hadith 64 - Bab 5 (Watchfulness)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, 'Verily, 'Allah, the Exalted, becomes angry, and His Anger is provoked when a person does what Allah has declared unlawful".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Selon Abou Hourayra (RA), le Prophète (saws) a dit : « Dieu le Très-Haut est jaloux. Ce qui provoque la jalousie de Dieu le Très-Haut c’est quand l’homme fait ce que Dieu lui interdit de faire ». 

Hadith 65 - Bab 5 (Watchfulness)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said that: He heard the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: "There were three men among the Banu Israel, one leper, one bald and one blind. Allah wanted to test them. He therefore, sent to them an angel who came to the leper and asked him what he would like best. He replied: "A good colour, a good skin and to be rid of what makes me loathsome to people". He (the angel) rubbed him and his loathsomeness vanished and he was given a good colour and a good skin. He then asked him what type of property he would like best. The leper replied that he would like camels - [or perhaps he said cattle, for Ishaq (one of the subnarrator of the Hadith) was uncertain, either said: 'Camels,' or: 'Cattle']. He was given a pregnant she-camel. The angel invoked for Allah's Blessing on it. The angel then went to the bald man and asked him what he would like best and he replied: "Good hair and to be rid of what makes me loathsome to people". The angel ran his hand over him and he was given good hair. He then asked him what property he would like best. He replied that he would like cattle, so he was given a pregnant cow. The angel invoked Allah's Blessing on it. The angel then went to the blind man and asked him what he would like best, and he replied: "I wish that Allah restore my sight to me so that I may see people." Thereupon the angel ran his hand over him and Allah restored his sight. The angel then asked what property he would like best. He replied that he would like sheep, so he was given a pregnant ewe. Flocks and herds were produced for the three men, the first having a valley full of camels, the second one, a valley full of cows and the third one full of sheep. Then the angel came in the form of a leper, to the one who had been a leper, and said: "I am a poor man and my resources have been exhausted in my journey, and my only means of reaching my destination are dependent on Allah and then on you, so I ask you by Him Who gave you the good colour, the good skin and the property, for a camel by which I may get to my destination". He replied: "I have many dues to pay." The angel then said: "I think I recognize you. Were you not a leper whom people found loathsome and a poor man to whom Allah gave property?" He replied: "I inherited this property through generations". The angel said: "If you are telling a lie, may Allah return you to your former condition". The angel went in the form of a bald man to the one who had been bald, and said the same as he had said to the former and received a similar reply. So he said: "If you are telling a lie, may Allah return you to your former condition". The angel then went to the one who had been blind and said: "I am a poor traveller and my resources have been exhausted in my journey. My only means of reaching my destination are dependant on Allah and then on you, so I ask you by Him Who restored your eyesight for a sheep by which I may get to the end of my journey". He replied: "Yes, I was blind. Allah restored my eyesight, so take what you wish and leave what you wish. I swear by Allah that I shall not argue with you today to return anything you take, as I give it for Allah's sake". The angel said: "Keep your property. You have all simply been put to a test, and Allah is pleased with you and displeased with both of your companions".

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Abou Hourayra (RA) rapporte qu’il a entendu dire le Prophète (saws) : « Dieu a voulu une fois éprouver trois des enfants d’Israël : Un lépreux, un teigneux et un aveugle. Il leur envoya donc un Ange (sous l’apparence humaine) qui alla trouver le lépreux et lui dit : « Quelle est la chose que tu aimerais le plus avoir ? » Il lui dit : « Un beau teint et une peau saine. Je voudrais aussi me débarrasser de ce qui provoque le dégoût des autres ». L’Ange lui passa la main sur le corps et voilà que partit son aspect repoussant et que lui fut donné un beau teint. Il lui demanda alors : « Quelle sorte de biens aimerais-tu le plus  avoir ? ». Il dit : « Les chameaux » (ou les bovins, le narrateur à un doute). Il lui donna aussitôt une chamelle à son dixième mois de grossesse et lui dit : « Puisse dieu te la bénir ! »

Hadith 66 - Bab 5 (Watchfulness)
Chapter 1 (The Book of Miscellany)

Shaddad bin Aus (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "A wise man is the one who calls himself to account (and refrains from doing evil deeds) and does noble deeds to benefit him after death; and the foolish person is the one who subdues himself to his temptations and desires and seeks from Allah the fulfillment of his vain desires".

[At-Tirmidhi].

Selon Abou Ya’la Ibn Aws (RA), le Prophète (saws) a dit : « Le sage est celui qui se demande des comptes à lui-même et qui agit en vue de ce qui vient après la mort. Et l(incapable est celui qui se laisse guider par ses passions tout en nourrissant au sujet de Dieu de vais espoirs ». (Rapporté par Tirmidhi) 

Hadith 67 - Bab 5 (Watchfulness)

[At-Tirmidhi].
