Abu Dawud’s Death
- Whoever satisfies with simple
cloth and food has spared his
body.
- I collected in my book As-Sunan
4800 hadiths but it is enough
for the religion of a person only
four hadiths from among them:
“Deeds are judged by intentions,”
“A sign of man’s good observance
of Islam (his piety) is to keep away
from that which does not concern
him,” “A believer will not attain
true faith unless he accepts for his
brother that which he accepts for
himself,” and “The lawful is clear
and the unlawful is clear, and between
that are matters that are
doubtful (not clear)..”
Abu Dawud (may Allah confer His Mercy upon him) died on Friday 15
Shawwal in 275 AH in Basrah and was buried alongside of the grave of
Sufyan Ath-Thawri.
