PREFACE
Sayings of the Companions of the Prophet , another volume in Kube Publishing’s Daily Wisdom series, aims at acquainting the readers with their understanding and elucidation of Islam. Essentially, these sayings constitute the amplification of the life-giving message of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Since these noble, pious souls had the unique privilege of enjoying over the years the Prophet Muhammad’s company, and as they were keen on assimilating the life enriching message of Islam, their sayings have a great value and relevance. At one level, their sayings and practices serve as one of the primary sources, next to the Qur’an and Sunnah, in the codification of Islam. Among the jurists, Imam Malik in particular placed much premium on the actions of the Madinan Companions. His premise was natural and logical: these Companions must have learnt from the Prophet all that they did, for emulating him was their mission.
Most of their sayings therefore stand out for their nuanced elaboration, summarization and recapitulation, and even contextualization of the Prophet’s words and deeds. Their comments underscore their sagacity, their insights into the faith and practice of Islam and their earnest
v
attempts to preserve faithfully what they had received directly from the Prophet . Their unwavering commitment led to the formulation and development of the vast Hadith corpus, bearing out as it does their devotion to Islam and the Prophet and their sincere goal of transmitting their invaluable knowledge to subsequent generations. For they were wedded unflinchingly to the cause of promoting Islam at the widest possible scale. Needless to add, their sayings reverberate and reinforce the sayings of the Propher , and at times, extend these in a logical fashion. Some of their sayings capture the circumstantial setting of certain Qur’anic verses. Take the following saying by [Abdullah ibn [Abbas , * a brilliant Qur’an exegete in his own right, as illustrative:
Regarding the words of Allah Most High … and restrain their rage, [Al [Imran 3: 134], Ibn [Abbas said: “This refers to a man who verbally abuses you and you restrain your rage and do not answer back despite being able to do so.”
(al-Tabarani)
* Whenever we say the illustrious names of the Companions of the Prophet we should always say May Allah be pleased with them
vi
Abu Hurayrah’s following saying exemplifies a pithy aphorism:
Yazid ibn al-Asamm said: “I heard Abu Hurayrah say: “One of you sees a speck in his brother’s eye but does not see the log in his own eye.”
(al-Bukhari)
The following comment by the rightly guided Caliph. [Umar ibn al-Khattab is reflective of his piety and God-fearingness:
[Umar ibn al-Khattab said: “Were a lamb to perish because it got lost by the banks of the river Euphrates, I would be afraid that Allah may ask me (as the Caliph) about it.”
(Ibn Abi Shaybah)
Some of these sayings provide a vivid glimpse of life in the Prophet’s day, especially those by [A’ishah :
It is reported from [A’ishah that she said: “The believing women used to pray Fajr prayer with the Prophet (peace be upon him) wrapped up in their sheets and then after that return to their families without being recognized by
vii
anyone.”
(Muslim)
These Sayings are from scores of Companions, most notably the four rightly-guided Caliphs, [A’ishah , Abu al-Darda’ , Abu Hurayrah and [Abdullah ibn Mas[ud . These have been gleaned from the authentic Hadith collections by Bukhari, Muslim, Malik, Ahmad and others.
I take this opportunity to thank Brother Haris Ahmad, CEO, Kube Publishing, without whose valuable help this work could not have seen the light of day.

Abu’l-Darda’ said: “Worship Allah as if you see Him; and consider yourself among the dead; and beware of the supplication of the one who is wronged, and know that the little that is just sufficient is much better than abundance which distracts you [from Allah], and that pious works never wear off while sin is never forgotten.”
(Waki[ ibn al-Jarrah, Kitab al-Zuhd) day 2
ammad ibn Zayd reported that [Uthman ibn [Affan, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “No doer does any work except that Allah wraps him in the raiment of his work.”
(Ahmad)

Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be well pleased with him, said: “O people! Indeed, I am a follower [of the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace] and not a blameworthy innovator. So, if I do well, you should help me; and if I deviate, you should set me right.”
(al-Baqillani, I[jaz al-Qur’an) day 14
li ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be well pleased with him, said: “These hearts are receptacles, and the best of them are those who retain things well.”

Abu al-Darda’ said: “Seek refuge in Allah from the humble devotedness of the hypocrite.” He was asked: “And what is that?” He said: “It is seeing the body humbly devoted while the heart is not.”
(Ibn Abi Shaybah, al-Musannaf) day 114
Regarding the words of Allah Most High: (… and restrain their rage…) [Al [Imran 3: 134], Ibn [Abbas said: “This refers to a man who verbally abuses you and you restrain your rage and do not answer back despite being able to do so.”

Salman al-Farisi, may Allah be well pleased with him, said: “The example of the five daily prayers is that of the shares of the spoils of war. The one who gets five shares is better than the one who gets four, and the one who gets four is better than the one who gets three, and the one who gets three is better than the one who gets two, and the one who gets two is better than the one who gets one. And Allah does not equate someone with one share in Islam with someone who does not have any share whatsoever.”

Abu’l-Darda’, may Allah be well pleased with him, said: “I have known people who were leaves without thorns and now they have become thorns without leaves; if you disapprove of them, they disapprove of you, but if you leave them alone, they do not leave you alone.” He was asked: “What shall we do then?” he said: “You let them tear up at your honour, the reward of which you will find when you need it most [i.e. on the Day of Judgement].”
