| as salaamu alaykum, Hope y'all are well inshaAllah :) I'm looking for a hadeeth about a man who was performing salah behind Rasulullah [saw], and when he heard someone sneeze he said yarhamukillah (during the salah). The companions got upset, wanted to rebuke him, but Rasulullah [saw] corrected him gently. The man said, may Allah grant mercy upon me and Muhammad, only.. and Rasulullah [saw] said, do not constrain Allah's mercy, because Allah's mercy is vast. This is my *vague* recollection of the story.. does anyone know where I can find it? jazakam Allahu khayran :) wasalaamu alaykum. |

| Assalamu 'alaikum! I couldn't find that specific hadith...but if you are just looking for a hadith on the vastness of God(SWT)'s Mercy, this is a beautiful hadith! Abu Hurairah (RAA) reported that Allah's messenger (SAW) said what translated means: "Allah has divided Mercy into one hundred portions. He retained ninety nine (portions) with Him and sent down one portion to the earth. Because of that one part, (Allah's) creatures have mercy amongst themselves, even that a mare lifts its hoof away from its foal lest it hits it." Al-Bukhari Wasalaam wa fee aman'Allah ~Sabr |

| Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah, se7en! (I looooove MSA USC's search engine thingie). I could be completely wrong, but these might be from two separate incidents (man who sneezed was invoked mercy upon him by Mu'awiya ibn al-Hakam during prayer, while the man who asked for "limited" mercy upon himself and the Rasul, saws, only during prayer was referred to as just a bedouin). Allahu'alim, hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Saheeh Bukhaari, Book 73: GOOD MANNERS AND FORM (AL ADAB) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Volume 8, Book 73, Number 39: Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle stood up for the prayer and we too stood up along with him. Then a bedouin shouted while offering prayer. "O Allah! Bestow Your Mercy on me and Muhammad only and do not bestow it on anybody else along with us." When the Prophet had finished his prayer with Taslim, he said to the Bedouin, "You have limited (narrowed) a very vast (thing)," meaning Allah's Mercy. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Saheeh Muslim, Chapter 51: FORBIDDANCE OF TALKING IN PRAYER AND ABROGATION OF WHAT WAS PERMISSIBLE ------------------------------------------------------------------ Book 004, Number 1094: Mu'awiya b. al-Hakam said: While I was praying with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), a man in the company sneezed. I said: Allah have mercy on you! The people stared at me with disapproving looks, so I said: Woe be upon me, why is it that you stare at me? They began to strike their hands on their thighs, and when I saw them urging me to observe silence (I became angry) but I said nothing. When the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) had said the prayer (and I declare that neither before him nor after him have I seen a leader who gave better instruction than he for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom). I swear that he did not scold, beat or revile me but said: Talking to persons is not fitting during the prayer, for it consists of glorifying Allah, declaring his Greatness. and recitation of the Qur'an or words to that effect. I said: Messenger of Allah. I was till recently a pagan, but Allah has brought Islam to us; among us there are men who have recourse to Kahins. He said, Do not have recourse to them. I said. There are men who take omens. That is something which they find in their breasts, but let it not turn their way (from freedom of action). I said: Among us there are men who draw lines. He said: There was a prophet who drew lines, so if they do it as they did, that is allowable. I had a maid-servant who tended goats by the side of Uhud and Jawwaniya. One day I happened to pass that way and found that a wolf had carried a goat from her flock. I am after all a man from the posterity of Adam. I felt sorry as they (human beings) feel sorry. So I slapped her. I came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and felt (this act of mine) as something grievous. I said: Messenger of Allah, should I not grant her freedom? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Bring her to me. So I brought her to him. He said to her: Where is Allah? She said: He is in the heaven. He said: Who am I? She said: Thou art the Messenger of Allah. He said: Grant her freedom, she is a believing woman. |
