100 BEAUTIFUL SUNNAH OF THE PROPHET (S.A.W)

13. Going early to the Masjid: 

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam said: "Were the people to know [the reward] of going to the masjid early, they would race for it..." [Agreed upon 981/615]

He sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam said: "Performing the ablution thoroughly despite odds, frequently walking to the masjid, and waiting for the prayers from one to the next, and this is a Ribat [1] for you." [Muslim: 587]

[Muslim:1111]


Note: A sutrah can be anything a person puts in front of himself while he is praying, such as a wall, or a long stick, and the such.The back of a saddle is approximately two thirds of a cubit in height [so the sutrah should be at least the same length].

ibn Hassaan: from Ayyoob: from Muhammad ibn Seereen who said, "’Umar ibn al-Khattaan saw a man praying without a sutrah, so he sat down in front of him and said, ‘Don’t be hasty in your prayer.’ So when he finished, ’Umar said to him, ‘When one of you prays, then let him pray towards a Sutrah, and Satan will not be able to come between him and his prayer.’" Its chain of narration is Saheeh except that Ibn Seereen didn’t reach ’Umar,

O Allah for you is praise! You clothed me it and I ask you for its good and the for what it was made for. And I seek refuge in you from its evil and the evil of what it has been created for" [Abu Dawood: 4020 , Al Nasaee, Tirmidhi,Hakim, Ahmad and others]

So he said to me: "O young man, mention the name of Allah, eat with your right and eat what is nearest to you (meaning don't dig in the plate like a hooligan and eat what is near to you from the thaal/plate)." [Agreed upon: 5376 & 5269]


51. Praising Allah after eating and drinking: 

It is narrated on the authority of Anas bin Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) who said the Messenger of Allah sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam said: "Indeed Allah is pleased with the slave who eats food and then praises Him for it or drinks a drink and then praises Him for it." [Muslim 6932]

52. Sitting when drinking: 

It is narrated on the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) who said the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam prohibited a man drinking whilst standing. [Muslim 5275]

There are ahaadeeth which say that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade drinking whilst standing. For example, Muslim (2024, 2025) narrated from Anas and Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade drinking whilst standing. 

But there are other ahaadeeth which say that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) drank whilst standing, such as the following: 

Al-Bukhaari (1637) and Muslim (2027) narrated that Ibn Mas’ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I brought water to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) from Zamzam and he drank whilst standing. 


Ahmad (797) narrated that ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him) drank whilst standing, and the people looked at him as if they objected to that. He said: “What are you looking at? If I drink whilst standing, I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) drink whilst standing, and if I drink sitting, I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) drink whilst sitting.” Ahmad Shaakir said in Tahqeeq al-Musnad: its isnaad is saheeh. 

Al-Tirmidhi (1881) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “We used to eat at the time of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) whilst walking, and we used to drink whilst standing.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. 

The scholars reconciled these hadeeth by stating that the forbidding mentioned here does not mean that it is haraam, rather it is to be understood as advice, and that it is better to drink whilst sitting. The ahaadeeth which describe the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) drinking whilst standing indicate that it is permissible to do that. 

Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

There is no contradiction in these ahaadeeth, praise be to Allaah, and none of them are da’eef (weak). Rather they are all saheeh. The correct view is that the forbidding mentioned in them is to be understood as meaning that it is disliked. The fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) drank whilst standing indicates that it is permissible to do so. This is all that needs to be said on the matter. 

If it is asked: How come it is makrooh to drink whilst standing when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did that? 

The answer is that if what he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did was to show that it is permissible, then it is not makrooh, rather he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was obliged to show and explain that, so how can it be makrooh?  It is proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did wudoo’ washing each part only once, and that he circumambulated the Ka’bah (i.e., did tawaaf) riding a camel – even though there is scholarly consensus that it is better to do wudoo’ washing each part three times and that it is better to do tawaaf walking. There are many similar examples. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was demonstrating that something is permissible one time or many times, but he persisted in following the better option. So usually when he did wudoo’ he washed each part three times, and he usually did tawaaf walking, and he usually drank whilst sitting. This is clear and is not confusing to anyone who has the slightest claim to knowledge. And Allaah knows best. 



53. Rinsing one's mouth after consuming milk: 


It is narrated on the authority of 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam drank milk and then rinsed his mouth. He said: "It contains fat." [Agreed upon 5609 & 798]


54. Not criticising food: 


It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said the Messenger of Allah sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam did not ever criticise food. If he liked it, he ate it and if he disliked it, he left it. [Agreed upon 5380 & 5409]


55. Eating with three fingers: 


It is narrated on the authority of Ka'b bin Maal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam used to eat with three fingers and lick his hand before wiping it. [Muslim 5297]


56. Drinking Zamzam water and using it as a cure: 


It is narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said the Messenger of Allah sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam said about Zamzam water: "It is blessed and a food that nourishes" al-Tayaalisee adds, "And a cure for sickness." [Muslim 6359]


57. Eating on Eed al-Fitr before going to the prayer area: 


It is narrated on the authority of Anas bin Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said the Messenger of Allah sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam did not proceed on the day of al-Fitr until he had eaten some dates. And in another narration: He used to eat an odd number. [al- Bukhari: 953]
