sources please

[saleha]

Asalam alaikum,

Could you please give the sources for the following hadiths- who quoted them--(where are they taken from):

1-Anas Ibn MalikRadi Allahu anhu reported that once a bedouin came to Allah's Messenger and told him(s.a.w) that he had travelled a long distance and would like to ask the Prophet(s.a.w) some questions. To his questions, Prophet(s.a.w) replied:
"To be an intelligent person-- fear Allah(s.w.t)
To obey Allah and be His loyal servant--Read the Qu'ran
To be enlightened and have peace of heart---remember death
To be protected against enemies-- Trust in Allah
To follow the straight path-- do good to others for Allah(s.w.t)'s sake
To have a long life--Praise and thank Allah
For Prosperity--- be in a state of ablution at all times
To save yourself from hellfire-- protect your eyes, tongues, hands against evil
To cleanse yoursef from sins--- shed tears for what you have done and repent by undoing what you have done wrong
To protect yourself from the tortues of the grave-- recite surah mulk
To be rich-- read surah muzammil
To calm your fear of the last day---remember Allah before you eat anything and before you sleep."


2-"Once Prophet Muhammed(S.a.w) approached AliRadi Allahu anhu and told him to do 5 things every night before going to sleep. They were-a) Pay 4000 dinar as charity b) recite one whole Qur'an c) Pay the price for Janat d) Make peace between two fighting people e) Perform Haj.
On hearing this AliRadi Allahu anhu replied that O Messenger of Allah but this is very difficult to do. Then Prophet(s.a.w) replied:
a)Recite surah fatiha 4 times. The reward for this is equal to paying 4000 dinar b) Recite surah iqlas 3 times. The reward for doing so is equal to reciting one Qur'an c) Read Istiqfar 10 times. It's reward is equal to making peace between two fighting people.d) Read durood shareef 10 times. The reward for doing this equal to paying the price of jannat and e) Recite the third kalimah 3 times. The reward for doing this is equal to performing one Haj.
At this AliRadi Allahu anhu told Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam that now heRadi Allahu anhu would do the above every night inshallah."

Shukran

All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon his most Beloved and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa aalihi wa Sallam)



Jazak'Allah for your question and apologies for the delay in responding. It wasnt easy, because of the numerous books that I had to search, and the people upon whom I had to place a duty in order to find the answer, or the dedicated answer. May Allah the Almighty give us all the tawfiq, to per severe in search of the truth. (Amin)


The first question gave me a bit of trouble, as I found similar reports in all sihah-e-sittah (the six authentic Books of hadith), and beyond, ranging from the Book of Bukhari, through to the Mishkat Sharif, which contained different narrators, similar matan (body of hadith), and in some cases, parts of the hadith mentioned in some ahadith, and parts mentioned in others.


It was very difficult to say that any one hadith had contained all the information that you had provided for question one. However, the information in question one, was contained in various hadith (around more than twenty), which would be a great task to put down. For further enlightened details, you may be able to check the chapters on the 'Fadha'il-e-Qur'an', in all the hadith books, and you will realise what I mean.


It also would have been helpful, if you would have quoted where you had read this hadith, and referred to the particular book, and page number. Similarly, your quote of the hadith above, was recognised as incomplete, as the questions of the bedouin who came to the Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam), were not mentioned. Had these been mentioned, I think it would have been easier to find.


With reference to the second hadith that you mentioned, then this hadith is from the 'amaliyat', or the deeds to be performed section, and can be found in books of 'ahkam-al-Qur'an'. Likewise, a book named 'Tanbih-ul-Ghafilin'contained this particular hadith, on what should be performed in the night. However, you may have realised the time it had taken for this search, searching both hadith books and non hadith books, was great, this was partly the cause of the time it had taken in answering your question.


I hope that in future, that you do please detail where you read the hadith, the name of the book, the page number and possibly also the publisher and title of the chapter. So that any cross references that are to be made, are made quickly and easily. Otherwise, this can become a very lenghthy and tiring process.


May Allah the Almighty give us all the tawfiq to ask in the correct manner, and when we address, to address in the correct manner. (Amin)
