Abu Bakrah Nufai bin Al-Harith (Radi Allahu anhu) reported: Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) said, “Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the major sins?” Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) asked this question thrice. We said, “Yes, O Allah’s Messenger. (Please inform us).” He said, “Ascribing partners to Allah and to be undutiful to your parents.” Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) sat up from his reclining position and said, “And I warn you against giving forged statement and a false testimony; I warn you against giving forged statement and a false testimony.” Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) kept on repeating that warning till we wished he would stop. Al-Bukhari Muslim As Taken from Riyad-us-Saliheen Yazid bin Haiyan reported: I went along with Husain bin Sabrah and Amr bin Muslim to Zaid bin Arqam (Radi Allahu anhu) and as we sat by his side, Husain said to him, “Zaid, you acquired great merit, you saw Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam), listened to him talking, fought by his side in (different) battles, and offered Salat behind him. Zaid, you have indeed earned great merits. Could you narrate to us what you heard from Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam)?” Zaid said, “By Allah! I have grown old and have almost spent up my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam), so accept what I narrate to you, do not compel me to narrate what I fail to narrate.” He then said, “One day Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) stood up to deliver a Khutbah at a watering place known as Khumm between Makkah and Al-Madinah. He praised Allah, extolled Him and exhorted (us) and said, ‘Amma Badu. O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Rabb and I will respond to Allah’s Call, but I am leaving with you two weighty things: the first is the Book of Allah, in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it.’ He exhorted (us to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said, ‘The second is the members of my household, I remind you (to be kind) to the members of my family. I remind you (to be kind) to the members of my family.’” Husain said to Zaid, “Who are the members of his household, O Zaid? Aren’t his wives the members of his family?” Thereupon Zaid said, “His wives are the members of his family. (But there) the members of his family are those for whom Zakat is forbidden.” He asked, “Who are they?” Zaid said, “Ali and the offspring of Ali, Aqil and the offspring of Aqil and the offspring of Jafar and the offspring of Abbas.” Husain asked, “For all of them acceptance of Zakat is forbidden?” Zaid said, “Yes.” Muslim Another narration is: Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) said, “I am leaving behind me two weighty things. One of them is the Book of Allah; that is the strong rope of Allah. Whosoever holds firmly to it, will be the guided, whosoever leaves it goes astray.” Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu anhu) reported: Al-Hasan bin Ali (Radi Allahu anhu) took one of the dates of the Sadaqah and put it in his mouth, whereupon Allah’s Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) said, “Leave it, leave it, throw it away. Do you not know that we do not eat the Sadaqah ?” Al-Bukhari Muslim As Taken from Riyad-us-Saliheen
