Abu Huraira reported: I invited my mother, who was a polytlieist, to Islam. I invited her one day and she said to me something about Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) which I hated. I came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) weeping and said: Allah's Messenger, I invited my mother to Islam but she did not accept (my invitation). I invited her today but she said to me something which I did not like. (Kindly) supplicate Allah that He may set the mother of Abu Huraira right. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: O Allah, set the mother of Abu Huraira on the right path. I came out quite pleased with the supplication of Allah's Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and when I came near the door it was closed from within. My mother heard the noise of my footsteps and she said: Abu Huraira, just wait. And I heard the noise of falling of water. She took a bath and put on the shirt and quickly covered her head with a headdress and opened the door and then said: Abu Huraira, I bear witness to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His bondsman and His Messenger. He (Abu Huraira) said: I went back to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and (this time) I was shedding the tears of joy. I said: Allah's Messenger, be happy, for Allah has responded to your supplication and He has set on the right path the mother of Abu Huraira. He (the Holy Prophet) praised Allah, and extolled Him and uttered good words. I said: Allah's Messenger, supplicate to Allah so that He may instill love of mine and that of my mother too in the believing servants and let our hearts be filled with their love, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: O Allah, let there be love of these servants of yours, i.e. Abu Huraira and his mother, in the hearts of the believing servants and let their hearts be filled with the love of the believing servants. (Abu Huraira said: This prayer) was so well granted by Allah that no believer was ever born who heard of me and who saw me but did not love me.
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الْيَمَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَدْعُو أُمِّي إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَهِيَ مُشْرِكَةٌ، فَدَعَوْتُهَا يَوْمًا فَأَسْمَعَتْنِي فِي رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَكْرَهُ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي، قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَدْعُو أُمِّي إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَتَأْبَى عَلَيَّ، فَدَعَوْتُهَا الْيَوْمَ فَأَسْمَعَتْنِي فِيكَ مَا أَكْرَهُ، فَادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يَهْدِيَ أُمَّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللهُمَّ اهْدِ أُمَّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ» فَخَرَجْتُ مُسْتَبْشِرًا بِدَعْوَةِ نَبِيِّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا جِئْتُ فَصِرْتُ إِلَى الْبَابِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مُجَافٌ، فَسَمِعَتْ أُمِّي خَشْفَ قَدَمَيَّ، فَقَالَتْ: مَكَانَكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَسَمِعْتُ خَضْخَضَةَ الْمَاءِ، قَالَ: فَاغْتَسَلَتْ وَلَبِسَتْ دِرْعَهَا وَعَجِلَتْ عَنْ خِمَارِهَا، فَفَتَحَتِ الْبَابَ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ: يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَأَنَا أَبْكِي مِنَ الْفَرَحِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَبْشِرْ قَدِ اسْتَجَابَ اللهُ دَعْوَتَكَ وَهَدَى أُمَّ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ خَيْرًا، قَالَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ادْعُ اللهَ أَنْ يُحَبِّبَنِي أَنَا وَأُمِّي إِلَى عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَيُحَبِّبَهُمْ إِلَيْنَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللهُمَّ حَبِّبْ عُبَيْدَكَ هَذَا - يَعْنِي أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ - وَأُمَّهُ إِلَى عِبَادِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَحَبِّبْ إِلَيْهِمِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» فَمَا خُلِقَ مُؤْمِنٌ يَسْمَعُ بِي وَلَا يَرَانِي إِلَّا أَحَبَّنِي
  حضرت ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے کہا : کہ میں اپنی والدہ کو اسلام کی طرف بلاتا تھا اور وہ مشرک تھی ۔ ایک دن میں نے اس کو مسلمان ہونے کو کہا تو اس نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے حق میں وہ بات سنائی جو مجھے ناگوار گزری ۔ میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس روتا ہوا آیا اور عرض کیا کہ میں اپنی والدہ کو اسلام کی طرف بلاتا تھا وہ نہ مانتی تھی ، آج اس نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے حق میں مجھے وہ بات سنائی جو مجھے ناگوار ہے تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اللہ تعالیٰ سے دعا کیجئے کہ وہ ابوہریرہ کی ماں کو ہدایت دیدے ۔ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اے اللہ! ابوہریرہ کی ماں کو ہدایت کر دے ۔ میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی دعا سے خوش ہو کر نکلا ۔ جب گھر پر آیا اور دروازہ پر پہنچا تو وہ بند تھا ۔ میری ماں نے میرے پاؤں کی آواز سنی ۔ اور بولی کہ ذرا ٹھہرا رہ ۔ میں نے پانی کے گرنے کی آواز سنی غرض میری ماں نے غسل کیا اور اپنا کرتہ پہن کر جلدی سے اوڑھنی اوڑھی ، پھر دروازہ کھولا اور بولی کہ اے ابوہریرہ! ”میں گواہی دیتی ہوں کہ اللہ کے سوا کوئی معبود برحق نہیں ہے اور میں گواہی دیتی ہوں کہ محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اللہ کے بندے اور اس کے رسول ہیں“ ۔ سیدنا ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ میں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے پاس خوشی سے روتا ہوا آیا اور عرض کیا کہ یا رسول اللہ! خوش ہو جائیے اللہ تعالیٰ نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی دعا قبول کی اور ابوہریرہ کی ماں کو ہدایت کی تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اللہ تعالیٰ کی تعریف اور اس کی صفت کی اور بہتر بات کہی ۔ میں نے عرض کیا کہ یا رسول اللہ! اللہ عزوجل سے دعا کیجئے کہ میری اور میری ماں کی محبت مسلمانوں کے دلوں میں ڈال دے ۔ اور ان کی محبت ہمارے دلوں میں ڈال دے ۔ تب رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اے اللہ! اپنے بندوں کی یعنی ابوہریرہ اور ان کی ماں کی محبت اپنے مومن بندوں کے دلوں میں ڈال دے اور مومنوں کی محبت ان کے دلوں میں ڈال دے ۔ پھر کوئی مومن ایسا پیدا نہیں ہوا جس نے میرے بارے میں سنایا مجھے دیکھا ہواور میرےساتھ محبت نہ کی ہو ۔

sahih-muslim-6397

Al-A'raj reported that he heard Abu Huraira as saying: You are under the impression that Abu Huraira transmits so many ahadith from Allah's Messenger (may peace up upon him) ; (bear in mind) Allah is the great Reckoner. I was a poor man and I served Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) being satisfied with bare subsistence, whereas the immigrants remained busy with transactions in the bazar; while the Ansar had been engaged in looking after their properties. (He further reported) that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: He who spreads the cloth would not forget anything that he would hear from me. I spread my cloth until he narrated something. I then pressed it against my (chest), so I never forgot anything that I heard from him.

A'isha reported: Don't you feel surprised at Abu Huraira? He came (one day) and sat beside the nook of my apartment and began to narrate (the hadith of Allah's Apostle). I was hearing while I was engaged in extolling Allah (reciting Subhan Allah) constantly. He stood up before I finished my repetition of Subhan Allah. if I were to meet him I would have warned him in stern words that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) did not speak so quickly as you talk.

sahih-muslim-6401

Ubaidullah b. Rafi', who was the scribe of 'All, reported: I heard 'Ali (Allah be pleased with him) as saying: Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) sent me and Zubair and Miqdad saying: Go to the garden of, Khakh [it is a place between Medina and Mecca at a distance of twelve miles from Medina] and there you will find a woman riding a camel. She would be in possession of a letter, which you must get from her. So we rushed on horses and when we met that woman, we asked her to deliver that letter to us. She said: There is no letter with me. We said: Either bring out that letter or we would take off your clothes. She brought out that letter from (the plaited hair of) her head. We delivered that letter to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) in which Hatib b. Abu Balta'a had informed some people amongst the polytheists of Mecca about the affairs of Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: Hatib, what is this? He said: Allah's messenger, do not be hasty in judging my intention. I was a person attached to the Quraish. Sufyan said: He was their ally but had no relationship with them. (Hatib further said): Those who are with you amongst the emigrants have blood-relationship with them (the Quraish) and thus they would protect their families. I wished that when I had no blood-relationship with them I should find some supporters from (amongst them) who would help my family. I have not done this because of any unbelief or apostasy and I have no liking for the unbelief after I have (accepted) Islam. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: You have told the truth. 'Umar said: Allah's Messenger, permit me to strike the neck of this hypocrite. But he (the Holy Prophet) said: He was a participant in Badr and you little know that Allah revealed about the people of Badr: Do what you like for there is forgiveness for you. And Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: O you who believe, do not take My enemy and your enemy for friends (lx. 1). And there is no mention of this verse in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Abu Bakr and Zubair and Ishaq has in his narration made a mention of the recitation of this verse by Sufyan.
