Question

I came across in a lecture that a woman (by name of Asma) got into a land dispute with Sayyiduna Sa’id Ibn Zayd (radiyallahu’anhu) regarding a piece of land. Eventually Sayyiduna Sa’id Ibn Zayd (radiyallahu’anhu) relented and even though he believed it was his land, he let Asma have the land but he made a du’a to Allah that if she was of the liars and making false claims then she should die on the very land she has falsely taken from Sayyiduna Sa’id Ibn Zayd (radiyallahu’anhu). Eventually, the woman fell into a well in that very land she obtained. Could you please quote the full narration/story(because I might have missed some points) from beginning to end with the source and authenticity?

Question

Is there a Hadith which states:

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) received a garment from someone. When he wore it and came out, someone from the Sahabah (radiyallahu ‘anhum) saw him and he asked Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) for it. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) immediately went to his house, wore his old clothes and gave the Sahabah (radiyallahu ‘anhum) the new one. The Sahabah (radiyallahu ‘anhum) reprimanded the other Sahabi (radiyallahu ‘anhu) who asked for Nabi’s (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) new dress because Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would never deny someone’s request. The Sahabi (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said that he had his own reason, to shroud himself in that piece of cloth when he passed away.

When our Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is described as having fair or white skin does this mean that it was literally white or would this indicate a light brown skin color?

What is the ruling of the following Hadith?

تكون هدة في شهر رمضان توقظ النائم وتفزع اليقظان، ثم تظهر عصابة في شوال، ثم معمعة في ذي الحجة، ثم تنتهك المحارم في المحرم، ثم يكون موت في صفر، ثم تتنازع القبائل في الربيع، ثم العجب كل العجب بين جمادى ورجب، ثم ناقة مقتبة خير من دسكرة تغل مائة ألف

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “There will be a thudding/crashing sound in Ramadan that will awaken [even] one who is asleep and terrify the one who is awake. Then there will appear a group in Shawwal, then wars in Dhul Hijjah. Thereafter prohibitions will be violated in Muharram, followed by death in Safar, then the tribes will conflict with each other in [the months of] Rabi’. The most amazing [thing will happen] between Jumada and Rajab. Then a laden she-camel will be better than palaces consisting of one hundred thousand.”

Question

Do Hijrah and Hajj have the same effect as accepting Islam as far as wiping out major sins are concerned?

عن ابن شماسة المهرى قال: حضرنا عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنه وهو فى سياقة الموت. فبكى طويلا وحوّل وجهه إلى الجدار فجعل ابنه يقول يا أبتاه أما بشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بكذا أما بشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بكذا قال: فأقبل بوجهه. فقال: إن أفضل ما نعد شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله إنى قد كنت على أطباق ثلاث لقد رأيتنى وما أحد أشد بغضا لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم منى ولا أحب إلىّ أن أكون قد استمكنت منه فقتلته فلو مت على تلك الحال لكنت من أهل النار فلما جعل الله الإسلام فى قلبى أتيت النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت: ابسط يمينك فلأبايعك. فبسط يمينه  قال: فقبضت يدى. قال: ما لك يا عمرو. قال: قلت: أردت أن أشترط.

قال: تشترط بماذا  قلت: أن يغفر لى. قال: أما علمت أن الإسلام يهدم ما كان قبله وأن الهجرة تهدم ما كان قبلها وأن الحج يهدم ما كان قبله. وما كان أحد أحب إلى من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ولا أجل فى عينى منه وما كنت أطيق أن أملأ عينى منه إجلالا له ولو سئلت أن أصفه ما أطقت لأنى لم أكن أملأ عينى منه ولو مت على تلك الحال لرجوت أن أكون من أهل الجنة ثم ولينا أشياء ما أدرى ما حالى فيها فإذا أنا مت فلا تصحبنى نائحة ولا نار فإذا دفنتمونى فشنوا على التراب شنا ثم أقيموا حول قبرى قدر ما تنحر جزور ويقسم لحمها حتى أستأنس بكم وأنظر ماذا أراجع به رسل ربى
