traveling, they were overtaken by rain and they took
shelter in a cave in a mountain. A big rock fell from the
mountain over the mouth of the cave and blocked it. They
said to each other. 'Think of such good (righteous) deeds
which, you did for Allah's sake only, and invoke Allah by
giving reference to those deeds so that Allah may relieve
you from your difficulty. one of them said, 'O Allah! I
had my parents who were very old and I had small children
for whose sake I used to work as a shepherd. When I
returned to them at night and milked (the sheep), I used
to start giving the milk to my parents first before giving
to my children. And one day I went far away in search of a
grazing place (for my sheep), and didn't return home till
late at night and found that my parents had slept. I
milked (my livestock) as usual and brought the milk vessel
and stood at their heads, and I disliked to wake them up
from their sleep, and I also disliked to give the milk to
my children before my parents though my children were
crying (from hunger) at my feet.
So this state of mine and theirs continued till the day
dawned. (O Allah!) If you considered that I had done that
only for seeking Your pleasure, then please let there be
an opening through which we can see the sky.' So Allah
made for them an opening through which they could see the
sky. Then the second person said, 'O Allah! I had a
she-cousin whom I loved as much as a passionate man love a
woman. I tried to seduce her but she refused till I paid
her one-hundred Dinars So I worked hard till I collected
one hundred Dinars and went to her with that But when I
sat in between her legs (to have sexual intercourse with
her), she said, 'O Allah's slave! Be afraid of Allah ! Do
not deflower me except legally (by marriage contract). So
I left her O Allah! If you considered that I had done that
only for seeking Your pleasure then please let the rock
move a little to have a (wider) opening.'
So Allah shifted that rock to make the opening wider
for them. And the last (third) person said 'O Allah ! I
employed a laborer for wages equal to a Faraq (a certain
measure: of rice, and when he had finished his job he
demanded his wages, but when I presented his due to him,
he gave it up and refused to take it. Then I kept on
sowing that rice for him (several times) till managed to
buy with the price of the yield, some cows and their
shepherd Later on the laborer came to me an said. '(O
Allah's slave!) Be afraid o Allah, and do not be unjust to
me an give me my due.' I said (to him). 'Go and take those
cows and their shepherd. So he took them and went away.
(So, O Allah!) If You considered that I had done that for
seeking Your pleasure, then please remove the remaining
part of the rock.' And so Allah released them (from their
difficulty)."

is the sea indeed."

sheet with a fringe." That woman said, "O Allah's Apostle!
I have brought it so that you may wear it." So the Prophet
took it because he was in need of it and wore it. A man
among his companions, seeing him wearing it, said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Please give it to me to wear." The
Prophet said, "Yes." (and gave him that sheet). When the
Prophet left, the man was blamed by his companions who
said, "It was not nice on your part to ask the Prophet for
it while you know that he took it because he was in need
of it, and you also know that he (the Prophet) never turns
down anybody's request that he might be asked for." That
man said, "I just wanted to have its blessings as the
Prophet had put it on, so l hoped that I might be shrouded
in it."

(delight) of Faith (a) till he loves a person and loves

town (Mecca a sanctuary)." And do you know which month is

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 70:

than Islam (i.e. if somebody swears by saying that he is a
non-Muslim e.g., a Jew or a Christian, etc.) in case he is
telling a lie, he is really so if his oath is false, and a
person is not bound to fulfill a vow about a thing which
he does not possess. And if somebody commits suicide with
anything in this world, he will be tortured with that very
thing on the Day of Resurrection; And if somebody curses a
believer, then his sin will be as if he murdered him; And
whoever accuses a believer of Kufr (disbelief), then it is
as if he killed him."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 74:
Narrated Sulaiman bin Surad:
A man from the companions of the Prophet said, "Two men
abused each other in front of the Prophet and one of them
became angry and his anger became so intense that his face
became swollen and changed. The Prophet said, "I know a
word the saying of which will cause him to relax if he
does say it." Then a man went to him and informed him of
the statement of the Prophet and said, "Seek refuge with
Allah from Satan." On that, angry man said, 'Do you find
anything wrong with me? Am I insane? Go away!"
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 75:
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:
Allah's Apostle went out to inform the people about the
(date of the Night of decree (Al-Qadr). There happened a
quarrel between two Muslim men. The Prophet said, "I came
out to inform you about the Night of Al-Qadr, but as
so-and-so and so-and-so quarrelled, so the news about it
had been taken away; and may be it was better for you. So
look for it in the ninth, the seventh, or the fifth (of

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 76:
Narrated Ma'rur:

yours), you will have a nice suit (costume) and you may
give him another garment." Abu Dhar said, "There was a
quarrel between me and another man whose mother was a
non-Arab and I called her bad names. The man mentioned
(complained about) me to the Prophet. The Prophet said,
"Did you abuse so-and-so?" I said, "Yes" He said, "Did you
call his mother bad names?" I said, "Yes". He said, "You
still have the traits of (the Pre-lslamic period of)
ignorance." I said. "(Do I still have ignorance) even now
in my old age?" He said, "Yes, they (slaves or servants)
are your brothers, and Allah has put them under your
command. So the one under whose hand Allah has put his
brother, should feed him of what he eats, and give him
dresses of what he wears, and should not ask him to do a
thing beyond his capacity. And if at all he asks him to do
a hard task, he should help him therein."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 77:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet led us in the Zuhr prayer, offering only
two Rakat and then (finished it) with Taslim, and went to
a piece of wood in front of the mosque and put his hand
over it. Abu Bakr and 'Umar were also present among the
people on that day but dared not talk to him (about his
unfinished prayer). And the hasty people went away,
wondering. "Has the prayer been shortened" Among the
people there was a man whom the Prophet used to call
Dhul-Yadain (the longarmed). He said, "O Allah's Prophet!
Have you forgotten or has the prayer been shortened?" The
Prophet said, "Neither have I forgotten, nor has it been
shortened." They (the people) said, "Surely, you have
forgotten, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said,
Dhul-Yadain has told the truth." So the Prophet got up and
offered other two Rakat and finished his prayer with
Taslim. Then he said Takbir, performed a prostration of
ordinary duration or longer, then he raised his head and
said Takbir and performed another prostration of ordinary
duration or longer and then raised his head and said
Takbir (i.e. he performed the two prostrations of Sahu,
i.e., forgetfulness)."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 78:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostle passed by two graves and said, "Both of
them (persons in the grave) are being tortured, and they
are not being tortured for a major sin. This one used not
to save himself from being soiled with his urine, and the
other used to go about with calumnies (among the people to
rouse hostilities, e.g., one goes to a person and tells
him that so-and-so says about him such-and-such evil
things). The Prophet then asked for a green leaf of a
date-palm tree, split it into two pieces and planted one
on each grave and said, "It is hoped that their punishment
may be abated till those two pieces of the leaf get
dried." (See Hadith No 215, Vol 1).

The Prophet said, "Admit him. What an evil brother of his
people or a son of his people." But when the man entered,
the Prophet spoke to him in a very polite manner. (And
when that person left) I said, "O Allah's Apostle! You had
said what you had said, yet you spoke to him in a very
polite manner?" The Prophet said, "O 'Aisha! The worst
people are those whom the people desert or leave in order
to save themselves from their dirty language or from their
transgression."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 81:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Once the Prophet went through the grave-yards of Medina
and heard the voices of two humans who were being tortured
in their graves. The Prophet said, "They are being
punished, but they are not being punished because of a
major sin, yet their sins are great. One of them used not
to save himself from (being soiled with) the urine, and
the other used to go about with calumnies (Namima)." Then
the Prophet asked for a green palm tree leaf and split it
into two pieces and placed one piece on each grave,
saying, "I hope that their punishment may be abated as
long as these pieces of the leaf are not dried."

bestow His Mercy on Moses for he was hurt with more than
this, yet he remained patient."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 86:

A man was mentioned before the Prophet and another man
praised him greatly The Prophet said, "May Allah's Mercy

Prophet repeated this sentence many times and said, "If it
is indispensable for anyone of you to praise someone, then
he should say, 'I think that he is so-and-so," if he
really thinks that he is such. Allah is the One Who will
take his accounts (as He knows his reality) and no-one can
sanctify anybody before Allah." (Khalid said, "Woe to
you," instead of "Allah's Mercy be on you.")

imagining that he has slept (had sexual relations) with
his wives, and in fact he did not. One day he said, to me,
"O 'Aisha! Allah has instructed me regarding a matter
about which I had asked Him. There came to me two men, one
of them sat near my feet and the other near my head. The
one near my feet, asked the one near my head (pointing at
me), 'What is wrong with this man? The latter replied, 'He
is under the effect of magic.' The first one asked, 'Who
had worked magic on him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid bin
Asam.' The first one asked, 'What material (did he use)?'
The other replied, 'The skin of the pollen of a male date
tree with a comb and the hair stuck to it, kept under a
stone in the well of Dharwan."' Then the Prophet went to
that well and said, "This is the same well which was shown
to me in the dream. The tops of its date-palm trees look
like the heads of the devils, and its water looks like the
Henna infusion." Then the Prophet ordered that those
things be taken out. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Won't you
disclose (the magic object)?" The Prophet said, "Allah has
cured me and I hate to circulate the evil among the
people." 'Aisha added, "(The magician) Lubaid bin Asam was
a man from Bani Zuraiq, an ally of the Jews."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying. "All the sins of my
followers will be forgiven except those of the Mujahirin
(those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to
the people). An example of such disclosure is that a
person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens it
from the public, then he comes in the morning, and says,
'O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,'
though he spent his night screened by his Lord (none
knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes
Allah's screen from himself."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 96:

come close to his Lord till He will shelter him in His
screen and say: Did you commit such-and-such sin? He will
say, 'Yes.' Then Allah will say: Did you commit such and
such sin? He will say, 'Yes.' So Allah will make him
confess (all his sins) and He will say, 'I screened them
(your sins) for you in the world, and today I forgive them
for you."'
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 97:
Narrated Haritha bin Wahb:
Al-Khuzai: The Prophet said, "Shall I inform you about
the people of Paradise? They comprise every obscure
unimportant humble person, and if he takes Allah's Oath
that he will do that thing, Allah will fulfill his oath
(by doing that). Shall I inform you about the people of
the Fire? They comprise every cruel, violent, proud and
conceited person." Anas bin Malik said, "Any of the female
slaves of Medina could take hold of the hand of Allah's
Apostle and take him wherever she wished."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 98:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) that she was told that
'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (on hearing that she was selling
or giving something as a gift) said, "By Allah, if 'Aisha
does not give up this, I will declare her incompetent to
dispose of her wealth." I said, "Did he ('Abdullah bin
Az-Zubair) say so?" They (people) said, "Yes." 'Aisha
said, "I vow to Allah that I will never speak to Ibn
Az-Zubair." When this desertion lasted long, 'Abdullah bin
Az-Zubair sought intercession with her, but she said, "By
Allah, I will not accept the intercession of anyone for
him, and will not commit a sin by breaking my vow." When
this state of affairs was prolonged on Ibn Az-Zubair (he
felt it hard on him), he said to Al-Miswar bin Makhrama
and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu Yaghuth, who were
from the tribe of Bani Zahra, "I beseech you, by Allah, to
let me enter upon 'Aisha, for it is unlawful for her to
vow to cut the relation with me." So Al-Miswar and 'Abdur-Rahman,
wrapping their sheets around themselves, asked 'Aisha's
permission saying, "Peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings
be upon you! Shall we come in?" 'Aisha said, "Come in."
They said, "All of us?" She said, "Yes, come in all of
you," not knowing that Ibn Az-Zubair was also with them.
So when they entered, Ibn Az-Zubair entered the screened
place and got hold of 'Aisha and started requesting her to
excuse him, and wept. Al-Miswar and 'Abdur Rahman also
started requesting her to speak to him and to accept his
repentance. They said (to her), "The Prophet forbade what
you know of deserting (not speaking to your Muslim
Brethren), for it is unlawful for any Muslim not to talk
to his brother for more than three nights (days)." So when
they increased their reminding her (of the superiority of
having good relation with Kith and kin, and of excusing
others' sins), and brought her down to a critical
situation, she started reminding them, and wept, saying,
"I have made a vow, and (the question of) vow is a
difficult one." They (Al-Miswar and 'Abdur-Rahman)
persisted in their appeal till she spoke with 'Abdullah
bin Az-Zubair and she manumitted forty slaves as an
expiation for her vow. Later on, whenever she remembered
her vow, she used to weep so much that her veil used to
become wet with her tears.

a Muslim to desert his brother Muslim (and not to talk to
him) for more than three nights."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 100:
Narrated Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari:
Allah's Apostle said, "It is not lawful for a man to
desert his brother Muslim for more than three nights. (It
is unlawful for them that) when they meet, one of them
turns his face away from the other, and the other turns
his face from the former, and the better of the two will
be the one who greets the other first."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 101:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, " I know whether you are angry or
pleased." I said, "How do you know that, Allah's Apostle?"

of Muhammad,' but when you are angry, you say, 'No, by the
Lord of Abraham!' " I said, "Yes, I do not leave, except
your name."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 102:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) "I do not remember my parents
believing in any religion other than the Religion (of
Islam), and our being visited by Allah's Apostle in the
morning and in the evening. One day, while we were sitting
in the house of Abu Bakr (my father) at noon, someone
said, 'This is Allah's Apostle coming at an hour at which
he never used to visit us.' Abu Bakr said, 'There must be
something very urgent that has brought him at this hour.'

Mecca) to migrate.' "

hosts).

this and wear it when the delegate come to you.' He said,
'The silk is worn by one who will have no share (in the
Here-after).' Some time passed after this event, and then
the Prophet sent a (similar) cloak to him. 'Umar brought
that cloak back to the Prophet and said, 'You have sent
this to me, and you said about a similar one what you
said?' The Prophet said, 'I have sent it to you so that
you may get money by selling it.' Because of this, Ibn 'Umar
used to hate the silken markings on the garments.
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 105:
Narrated Anas:
When 'Abdur-Rahman came to us, the Prophet established
a bond of brotherhood between him and Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi'.

home."

and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I was Rifa'a's wife and he
divorced me thrice, and then I was married to 'Abdur-Rahman
bin AzZubair, who, by Allah has nothing with him except
something like this fringe, O Allah's Apostle," showing a
fringe she had taken from her covering sheet. Abu Bakr was
sitting with the Prophet while Khalid Ibn Said bin Al-As
was sitting at the gate of the room waiting for admission.
Khalid started calling Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr! Why don't
you reprove this lady from what she is openly saying
before Allah's Apostle?" Allah's Apostle did nothing
except smiling, and then said (to the lady), "Perhaps you
want to go back to Rifa'a? No, (it is not possible),
unless and until you enjoy the sexual relation with him ('Abdur
Rahman), and he enjoys the sexual relation with you."

financial support while raising their voices over the
voice of the Prophet. When 'Umar asked permission to
enter, all of them hurried to screen themselves the
Prophet admitted 'Umar and he entered, while the Prophet
was smiling. 'Umar said, "May Allah always keep you
smiling, O Allah's Apostle! Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you !" The Prophet said, "I am astonished
at these women who were with me. As soon as they heard
your voice, they hastened to screen themselves." 'Umar
said, "You have more right, that they should be afraid of
you, O Allah's Apostle!" And then he ('Umar) turned
towards them and said, "O enemies of your souls! You are
afraid of me and not of Allah's Apostle?" The women
replied, "Yes, for you are sterner and harsher than
Allah's Apostle." Allah's Apostle said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab!
By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you
taking a way, he follows a way other than yours!"

it." The Prophet said, "Therefore, be ready to fight
tomorrow." On the following day, they (Muslims) fought
fiercely (with the people of Ta'if) and suffered many
wounds. Then Allah's Apostle said, "Tomorrow we will
return (to Medina), if Allah wills." His companions kept
quiet this time. Allah's Apostle then smiled.

Prophet said, "(Then) fast for two successive months
continuously". The man said, "I cannot do that." The
Prophet said, "(Then) feed sixty poor persons." The man
said, "I have nothing (to feed them with)." Then a big
basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet. The
Prophet said, "Where is the questioner? Go and give this
in charity." The man said, "(Shall I give this in charity)
to a poorer person than l? By Allah, there is no family in
between these two mountains (of Medina) who are poorer
than we." The Prophet then smiled till his premolar teeth
became visible, and said, "Then (feed) your (family with
it).

While I was going along with Allah's Apostle who was
wearing a Najrani Burd (sheet) with a thick border, a
bedouin overtook the Prophet and pulled his Rida' (sheet)
forcibly. I looked at the side of the shoulder of the
Prophet and noticed that the edge of the Rida' had left a
mark on it because of the violence of his pull. The
bedouin said, "O Muhammad! Order for me some of Allah's
property which you have." The Prophet turned towards him,
(smiled) and ordered that he be given something.

said, "O Allah! Make him firm and make him a guiding and a
rightly guided man.

when no cloud could be detected. Then he invoked Allah for
rain. Clouds started gathering together and it rained till
the Medina valleys started flowing with water. It
continued raining till the next Friday. Then that man (or
some other man) stood up while the Prophet was delivering
the Friday sermon, and said, "We are drowned; Please
invoke your Lord to withhold it (rain) from us" The
Prophet smiled and said twice or thrice, "O Allah! Please
let it rain round about us and not upon us." The clouds
started dispersing over Medina to the right and to the

Medina. Allah showed them (the people) the miracle of His
Prophet and His response to his invocation.

tell this to the Prophet ." So I went to him while he was
sitting with his companions and told him of it secretly.

told him. The Prophet then said, "Moses was harmed with
more than this, yet he remained patient."

of Him than they."

if he had killed him."

the praying people) and offered (light) prayer
(separately) and went away. When Mu'adh came to know about
it, he said. "He (that man) is a hypocrite." Later that
man heard what Mu'adh said about him, so he came to the
Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are people who
work with our own hands and irrigate (our farms) with our
camels. Last night Mu'adh led us in the (night) prayer and
he recited Sura-al-Baqara, so I offered my prayer
separately, and because of that, he accused me of being a
hypocrite." The Prophet called Mu'adh and said thrice, "O
Mu'adh! You are putting the people to trials? Recite
'Wash-shamsi wad-uhaha' (91) or'Sabbih isma Rabbi ka-l-A'la'
(87) or the like."

(saying by error) in his oath 'By Al-Lat and Al-Uzza',

giving advice than he was on that day. He said, "O people!

of its container, and then you can spend it. If its owner
came to you, then you should pay him its equivalent." The
man said, "O Allah's Apostle! What about a lost sheep?"
The Prophet said, "Take it because it is for you, for your
brother, or for the wolf." The man again said, "O Allah's
Apostle! What about a lost camel?" Allah's Apostle became

Apostle delayed and did not come out to them. So they
raised their voices and knocked the door with small stones
(to draw his attention). He came out to them in a state of
anger, saying, "You are still insisting (on your deed,
i.e. Tarawih prayer in the mosque) that I thought that
this prayer (Tarawih) might become obligatory on you. So
you people, offer this prayer at your homes, for the best
prayer of a person is the one which he offers at home,

cause him to relax if this man says it. Only if he said,
"I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the outcast.' " So

then he offered his prayer. There was a man amongst us who
was (from the Khawari) having a different opinion. He came
saying. "Look at this old man! He left his prayer because
of a horse." On that Abu Barza came to us and said, "Since
the time I left Allah's Apostle, nobody has admonished me;
My house is very far from this place, and if I had carried
on praying and left my horse, I could not have reached my
house till night." Then Abu Barza mentioned that he had

his leniency.

a polite manner. I said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! You
have said what you have said, then you spoke to him in a
very gentle and polite manner? The Prophet said, "The
worse people, in the sight of Allah are those whom the
people leave (undisturbed) to save themselves from their
dirty language."

and give up fasting for a few days because your body has a
right on you, and your eye has a right on you, and your
guest has a right on you, and your wife has a right on
you. I hope that you will have a long life, and it is
sufficient for you to fast for three days a month as the
reward of a good deed, is multiplied ten times, that
means, as if you fasted the whole year." I insisted (on
fasting more) so I was given a hard instruction. I said,
"I can do more than that (fasting)" The Prophet said,
"Fast three days every week." But as I insisted (on
fasting more) so I was burdened. I said, "I can fast more
than that." The Prophet said, "Fast as Allah's prophet
David used to fast." I said, "How was the fasting of the
prophet David?" The Prophet said, "One half of a year
(i.e. he used to fast on alternate days). '
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 156:

reward is: To provide him with a superior type of food for
a night and a day and a guest is to be entertained with
food for three days, and whatever is offered beyond that,
is regarded as something given in charity. And it is not
lawful for a guest to stay with his host for such a long

brother, Abu Ad-Darda is not interested in the luxuries of
this world." In the meantime Abu Ad-Darda came and
prepared a meal for him (Salman), and said to him,
"(Please) eat for I am fasting." Salman said, "I am not
going to eat, unless you eat." So Abu Ad-Darda' ate. When
it was night, Abu Ad-Darda' got up (for the night prayer).
Salman said (to him), "Sleep," and he slept. Again Abu-Ad-Darda'
got up (for the prayer), and Salman said (to him),
"Sleep." When it was the last part of the night, Salman
said to him, "Get up now (for the prayer)." So both of
them offered their prayers and Salman said to Abu Ad-Darda',"Your
Lord has a right on you; and your soul has a right on you;
and your family has a right on you; so you should give the
rights of all those who have a right on you). Later on Abu
Ad-Darda' visited the Prophet and mentioned that to him.

return." 'Abdur-Rahman said, So I went at once and served
them with what was available at that time in the house and
requested them to eat." They said, "Where is the owner of
the house (i.e., Abu Bakr)?" 'Abdur-Rahman said, "Take
your meal." They said, "We will not eat till the owner of
the house comes." 'Abdur-Rahman said, "Accept your meal
from us, for if my father comes and finds you not having
taken your meal yet, we will be blamed severely by him,
but they refused to take their meals . So I was sure that
my father would be angry with me. When he came, I went
away (to hide myself) from him. He asked, "What have you
done (about the guests)?" They informed him the whole
story. Abu Bakr called, "O 'Abdur Rahman!" I kept quiet.
He then called again. "O 'Abdur-Rahman!" I kept quiet and
he called again, "O ignorant (boy)! I beseech you by
Allah, if you hear my voice, then come out!" I came out
and said, "Please ask your guests (and do not be angry
with me)." They said, "He has told the truth; he brought
the meal to us." He said, "As you have been waiting for
me, by Allah, I will not eat of it tonight." They said,
"By Allah, we will not eat of it till you eat of it." He
said, I have never seen a night like this night in evil.
What is wrong with you? Why don't you accept your meals of
hospitality from us?" (He said to me), "Bring your meal."
I brought it to him, and he put his hand in it, saying,
"In the name of Allah. The first (state of fury) was
because of Satan." So Abu Bakr ate and so did his guests.

supper to them?" She replied, "We presented the meal to
him (or to them), but he (or they) refused to eat." Abu
Bakr became angry, rebuked me and invoked Allah to cause
(my) ears to be cut and swore not to eat of it!" I hid
myself, and he called me, "O ignorant (boy)!" Abu Bakr's
wife swore that she would not eat of it and so the guests
or the guest swore that they would not eat of it till he
ate of it. Abu Bakr said, "All that happened was from
Satan." So he asked for the meals and ate of it, and so
did they. Whenever they took a handful of the meal, the
meal grew (increased) from underneath more than that
mouthful. He said (to his wife), "O, sister of Bani Firas!
What is this?" She said, "O, pleasure of my eyes! The meal
is now more than it had been before we started eating'' So
they ate of it and sent the rest of that meal to the

case of their (murdered) friend. The Prophet said, "Will
fifty of you take an oath whereby you will have the right
to receive the blood money of your murdered man," (or
said, "..your companion"). They said, "O Allah's Apostle!
The murder was a thing we did not witness." The Prophet
said, "Then the Jews will release you from the oath, if
fifty of them (the Jews) should take an oath to contradict
your claim." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! They are
disbelievers (and they will take a false oath)." Then
Allah's Apostle himself paid the blood money to them.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "Inform me of a tree which
resembles a Muslim, giving its fruits at every season by
the permission of its Lord, and the leaves of which do not
fall." I thought of the date-palm tree, but I disliked to
speak because Abu Bakr and 'Umar were present there. When
nobody spoke, the Prophet said, "It is the date-palm tree"
When I came out with my father, I said, "O father! It came
to my mind that it was the date-palm tree." He said, "What
prevented you from saying it?" Had you said it, it would
have been more dearer to me than such-and-such a thing
(fortune)." I said, "Nothing prevented me but the fact
that neither you nor Abu Bakr spoke, so I disliked to
speak (in your presence)."

Narrated Salama bin Al-Aqwa:
We went out with Allah's Apostle to Khaibar and we
travelled during the night. A man amongst the people said
to 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa', "Won't you let us hear your
poetry?" 'Amir was a poet, and so he got down and started
(chanting Huda) reciting for the people, poetry that keep
pace with the camel's foot steps, saying, "O Allah!
Without You we would not have been guided on the right
path, neither would we have given in charity, nor would we
have prayed. So please forgive us what we have committed.
Let all of us be sacrificed for Your cause and when we
meet our enemy, make our feet firm and bestow peace and
calmness on us and if they (our enemy) will call us
towards an unjust thing we will refuse.
The infidels have made a hue and cry to ask others help
against us. Allah's Apostle said, "Who is that driver (of
the camels)?" They said, "He is 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa."' He
said, "May Allah bestow His mercy on him." A man among the
people said, Has Martyrdom been granted to him, O Allah's
Prophet! Would that you let us enjoy his company longer."
We reached (the people of) Khaibar and besieged them till
we were stricken with severe hunger but Allah helped the
Muslims conquer Khaibar. In the evening of its conquest
the people made many fires. Allah's Apostle asked, "What
are those fires? For what are you making fires?" They
said, "For cooking meat." He asked, "What kind of meat?"
They said, "Donkeys' meat." Allah's Apostle said, "Throw
away the meat and break the cooking pots." A man said, O
Allah's Apostle! Shall we throw away the meat and wash the
cooking pots?" He said, "You can do that too." When the
army files aligned in rows (for the battle), 'Amir's sword
was a short one, and while attacking a Jew with it in
order to hit him, the sharp edge of the sword turned back
and hit 'Amir's knee and caused him to die.
When the Muslims returned (from the battle), Salama
said, Allah's Apostle saw me pale and said, 'What is wrong
with you?"' I said, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you!
The people claim that all the deeds of Amir have been
annulled." The Prophet asked, "Who said so?" I replied,
"So-and-so and so-and-so and Usaid bin Al-Hudair Al-Ansari
said, 'Whoever says so is telling a lie. Verily, 'Amir
will have double reward."' (While speaking) the Prophet
put two of his fingers together to indicate that, and
added, "He was really a hard-working man and a Mujahid
(devout fighter in Allah's Cause) and rarely have there
lived in it (i.e., Medina or the battle-field) an "Arab
like him."

The man has not nursed me but his wife has nursed me." He
said, "Admit him because he is your uncle (not from blood
relation, but because you have been nursed by his wife),

"Woe to you! Who else would act justly if I did not act
justly?" 'Umar said (to the Prophet ), "Allow me to chop
his neck off." The Prophet said, "No, for he has
companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of
(you compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will
consider his prayer inferior to theirs, and similarly his
fasting inferior to theirs, but they will desert Islam (go
out of religion) as an arrow goes through the victim's
body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined
nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Nady is examined,
nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is
examined, nothing will be seen thereon, for the arrow has
gone out too fast even for the excretions and blood to
smear over it. Such people will come out at the time of
difference among the (Muslim) people and the sign by which
they will be recognized, will be a man whose one of the
two hands will look like the breast of a woman or a lump
of flesh moving loosely." Abu Said added, "I testify that
I heard that from the Prophet and also testify that I was
with 'Ali when 'Ali fought against those people. The man

basket full of dates were brought to the Prophet and he
said (to the man), "Take it and give it in charity." The

other than my family? By Him in Whose Hand my life is,

Prophet said, "You will be with those whom you love." We
(the companions of the Prophet ) said, "And will we too be

that day. In the meantime, a slave of Al-Mughira passed

and said, "Do you testify that I am Allah's Apostle?" Ibn
Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the
Apostle of the unlettered ones (illiterates)". Then Ibn
Saiyad said to the Prophets . "Do you testify that I am
Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet denied that, saying, "I
believe in Allah and all His Apostles," and then said to
Ibn Saiyad, "What do you see?" Ibn Saiyad said, "True
people and liars visit me." The Prophet said, "You have

killing him." 'Abdullah bin 'Umar added: Later on Allah's

velvet sheet from where his mumur were heard. Ibn Saiyad's
mother saw the Prophet and said, "O Saf (the nickname of
Ibn Saiyad)! Here is Muhammad!" Ibn Saiyad stopped his
murmuring. The Prophet said, "If his mother had kept
quiet, then I would have learnt more about him." 'Abdullah
added: Allah's Apostle stood up before the people
(delivering a sermon), and after praising and glorifying
Allah as He deserved, he mentioned the Ad-Dajjal saying,
"I warn you against him, and there has been no prophet but
warned his followers against him. Noah warned his

something which no prophet has told his people of, and
that is: Know that he is blind in one eye where as Allah
is not so."

Mudar and we cannot come to you except in the sacred
months. So please order us to do something good (religious
deeds) so that we may enter Paradise by doing that, and

"Peace, and Allah's Mercy be on him." 'Aisha added: The
Prophet used to see things which we used not to see.
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 221:
Narrated Anas:
Once Um Sulaim was (with the women who were) in charge
of the luggage on a journey, and Anjashah, the slave of
the Prophet, was driving their camels (very fast). The
Prophet said, "O Anjash! Drive slowly (the camels) with
the glass vessels (i.e., ladies)."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 222:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet was the best of all the people in
character. I had a brother called Abu 'Umar, who, I think,
had been newly weaned. Whenever he (that child) was
brought to the Prophet the Prophet used to say, "O Abu
'Umar! What did Al-Nughair (nightingale) (do)?" It was a
nightingale with which he used to play. Sometimes the time
of the Prayer became due while he (the Prophet) was in our
house. He would order that the carpet underneath him be
swept and sprayed with water, and then he would stand up
(for the prayer) and we would line up behind him, and he
would lead us in prayer.
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 223:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
The most beloved names to 'Ali was Abu Turab, and he
used to be pleased when we called him by it, for none
named him Abu Turab (for the first time), but the Prophet.
Once 'Ali got angry with (his wife) Fatima, and went out
(of his house) and slept near a wall in the mosque. The
Prophet came searching for him, and someone said, "He is
there, Lying near the wall." The Prophet came to him while
his ('Ali's) back was covered with dust. The Prophet
started removing the dust from his back, saying, "Get up,
O Abu Turab!"
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 224:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The most awful name in Allah's
sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man
calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings)."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 225:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The most awful (meanest) name in
Allah's sight." Sufyan said more than once, "The most
awful (meanest) name in Allah's sight is (that of) a man
calling himself king of kings." Sufyan said, "Somebody
else (i.e. other than Abu Az-Zinad, a sub-narrator) says:
What is meant by 'The king of kings' is 'Shahan Shah.,"
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 226:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
That Allah's Apostle rode over a donkey covered with a
Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and Usama was riding behind him.
He was visiting Sa'd bin 'Ubada (who was sick) in the
dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj and this
incident happened before the battle of Badr. They
proceeded till they passed by a gathering in which
'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present., and that was
before 'Abdullah bin Ubat embraced Islam. In that
gathering there were Muslims, pagan idolators and Jews,
and among the Muslims there was 'Abdullah bin Rawaha.
When a cloud of dust raised by (the movement of ) the
animal covered that gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered
his nose with his garment and said, "Do not cover us with
dust." Allah's Apostle greeted them, stopped, dismounted
and invited them to Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and
recited to them the Holy Qur'an. On that 'Abdullah bin
Ubai bin Salul said to him, "O man! There is nothing
better than what you say, if it is the truth. So do not
trouble us with it in our gatherings, but if somebody
comes to you, you can preach to him." On that 'Abdullah
bin Rawaha said "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Call on us in our
gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans
and the Jews started abusing one another till they were
about to fight with one another. Allah's Apostle kept on
quietening them till all of them became quiet, and then
Allah's Apostle rode his animal and proceeded till he
entered upon Sa'd bin 'Ubada. Allah's Apostle said, "O
Sa'd! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?" (meaning
'Abdullah bin Unbar). "He said so-and-so." Sa'd bin Ubada
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Let my father be sacrificed for
you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him Who revealed to
you the Book, Allah sent the Truth which was revealed to
you at the time when the people of this town had decided
to crown him ('Abdullah bin Ubai) as their ruler.
So when Allah had prevented that with the Truth He had
given you, he was choked by that, and that caused him to
behave in such an impolite manner which you had noticed."
So Allah's Apostle excused him. (It was the custom of)
Allah's Apostle and his companions to excuse the pagans
and the people of the scripture (Christians and Jews) as
Allah ordered them, and they used to be patient when
annoyed (by them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear
much that will grieve you from those who received the
Scripture before you.....and from the pagans (3.186)
He also said: 'Many of the people of the scripture wish
that if they could turn you away as disbelievers after you
have believed. .... (2.109) So Allah's Apostle used to
apply what Allah had ordered him by excusing them till he
was allowed to fight against them. When Allah's Apostle
had fought the battle of Badr and Allah killed whomever He
killed among the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of
Quraish, and Allah's Apostle and his companions had
returned with victory and booty, bringing with them some
of the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of the
Quraish as captives. 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul and the
pagan idolators who were with him, said, "This matter
(Islam) has now brought out its face (triumphed), so give
Allah's Apostle the pledge of allegiance (for embracing
Islam.)". Then they became Muslims.
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 227:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith bin Naufal:
Abbas bin 'Abdul Muttalib said, "O Allah's Apostle! Did
you benefit Abu Talib with anything as he used to protect
and take care of you, and used to become angry for you?"
The Prophet said, "Yes, he is in a shallow place of Fire.
But for me he would have been in the lowest part of the
Fire."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 228:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Once the Prophet was on one of his journeys, and the
driver of the camels started chanting (to let the camels
go fast). The Prophet said to him. "(Take care) Drive
slowly with the glass vessels, O Anjasha! Waihaka (May
Allah be Merciful to you)."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 229:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet was on a journey and a slave named Anjasha
was chanting (singing) for the camels to let them go fast
(while driving). The Prophet said, "O Anjasha, drive
slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels!" Abu Qilaba
said, "By the glass vessels' he meant the women (riding
the camels)."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 230:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 231:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:

matter). The Prophet said, "We could not see anything, and
we found that horse like a sea (fast in speed)."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 232:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Some people asked Allah's Apostle about the
fore-tellers. Allah's Apostle said to them, "They are
nothing (i.e., liars)." The people said, 'O Allah's
Apostle ! Sometimes they tell something which comes out to
be true." Allah's Apostle said, "That word which comes to
be true is what a jinx snatches away by stealing and then
pours it in the ear of his fore-teller with a sound
similar to the cackle of a hen, and then they add to it
one-hundred lies."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 233:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
That he heard Allah's Apostle saying. "Then there was a
pause in the revelation of the Divine Inspiration to me.
Then while I was walking all of a sudden I heard a voice
from the sky, and I raised my sight towards the sky and
saw the same angel who had visited me in the cave of
Hira,' sitting on a chair between the sky and the earth."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 234:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Once I stayed overnight at the house of Maimuna and the
Prophet was there with her. When it was the last third of
the night, or some part of the night, the Prophet got up
looking towards the sky and recited: 'Verily! In the
creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the
alternation of Night and Day, there are indeed signs for
men of u understanding.' (3.190)
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 235:
Narrated Abu Musa:
That he was in the company of the Prophet in one of the
gardens of Medina and in the hand of the Prophet there was
a stick, and he was striking (slowly) the water and the
mud with it. A man came (at the gate of the garden) and
asked permission to enter. The Prophet said, "Open the
gate for him and give him the glad tidings of entering
Paradise. "I went, and behold! It was Abu Bakr. So I
opened the gate for him and informed him of the glad
tidings of entering Paradise. Then another man came and
asked permission to enter. The Prophet said, "Open the
gate for him and give him the glad tidings of entering
Paradise." Behold! It was 'Umar. So I opened the gate for
him and gave him the glad tidings of entering Paradise.
Then another man came and asked permission to enter.
The Prophet was sitting in a leaning posture, so he sat
up and said, "Open the gate for him and give him the glad
tidings of entering Paradise with a calamity which will
befall him or which will take place." I went, and behold !
It was Uthman. So I opened the gate for him and gave him
the glad tidings of entering Paradise and also informed
him of what the Prophet had said (about a calamity).
'Uthman said, "Allah Alone Whose Help I seek (against that
calamity).
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 236:
Narrated 'Ali:
We were with the Prophet in a funeral procession, and
he started scraping the ground with a small stick and
said, "There is none amongst you but has been assigned a
place (either) in Paradise and (or) in the Hell-Fire." The
people said (to him), "Should we not depend upon it?" He
said: carry on doing (good) deeds, for everybody will find
easy such deeds as will lead him to his destined place. He
then recited: "As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps
his duty to Allah.." (92.5)
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 237:
Narrated Um Salama:
(One night) the Prophet woke up and said, "Subhan Allah
! How many treasures have been (disclosed) sent down! And
how many afflictions have been descended! Who will go and
wake the sleeping lady-occupants up of these dwellings
(for praying)?" (He meant by this his wives.) The Prophet
added, "A well-dressed soul (person) in this world may be
naked in the "Hereafter." 'Umar said, "I asked the
Prophet, 'Have you divorced your wives?' He said, 'No.' I
said, 'Allahu Akbar.' "

Narrated Safiya bint Huyai:
The wife of the Prophet that she went to Allah's
Apostle while he was in Itikaf (staying in the mosque)
during the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. She
spoke to him for an hour (a while) at night and then she
got up to return home. The Prophet got up to accompany
her, and when they reached the gate of the mosque opposite
the dwelling place of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet,
two Ansari men passed by, and greeting Allah's Apostle ,
they quickly went ahead. Allah's Apostle said to them, "Do
not be in a hurry She is Safiya, the daughter of Huyai."
They said, "Subhan Allah! O Allah's Apostle (how dare we
suspect you)." That was a great thing for both of them.
The Prophet then said, "Satan runs in the body of Adam's
son (i.e. man) as his blood circulates in it, and I was
afraid that he (Satan) might insert an evil thought in
your hearts."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 239:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal Al-Muzani:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

sneezing), while the other did not praise Allah."

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 242:

The Prophet said, "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes
yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises Allah,
then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to
say: May Allah be merciful to you (Yar-hamuka-l-lah). But
as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one must try
one's best to stop it, if one says 'Ha' when yawning,
Satan will laugh at him."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 243:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, " If anyone of you sneezes, he should
say 'Al-Hamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah), and his
(Muslim) brother or companion should say to him,
'Yar-hamuka-l-lah' (May Allah bestow his Mercy on you).

say, 'Yahdikumul-lah wa Yuslih balakum' (May Allah give
you guidance and improve your condition)."

that fellow but you did not say Tashmit to me. "The
Prophet said, "That man praised Allah, but you did not
praise Allah."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 245:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah loves sneezing but dislikes
yawning; so if anyone of you sneezes and then praises
Allah, every Muslim who hears him (praising Allah) has to
say Tashmit to him. But as regards yawning, it is from
Satan, so if one of you yawns, he should try his best to
stop it, for when anyone of you yawns, Satan laughs at
him."
