beautiful woman From the tribe of Khath'am came, asking
the verdict of Allah's Apostle. Al-Fadl started looking at
her as her beauty attracted him. The Prophet looked behind
while Al-Fadl was looking at her; so the Prophet held out
his hand backwards and caught the chin of Al-Fadl and
turned his face (to the owner sides in order that he
should not gaze at her. She said, "O Allah's Apostle! The

Wat-Taiyibatu, As-Salamu 'Alaika aiyuhan-Nabiyyu wa Rah-matul-iahi

that he was a boy of ten at the time when the Prophet
emigrated to Medina. He added: I served Allah's Apostle
for ten years (the last part of his life time) and I know
more than the people about the occasion whereupon the
order of Al-Hijab was revealed (to the Prophet). Ubai b n
Ka'b used to ask me about it. It was revealed (for the
first time) during the marriage of Allah's Apostle with
Zainab bint Jahsh. In the morning, the Prophet was a
bride-groom of her and he Invited the people, who took
their meals and went away, but a group of them remained
with Allah's Apostle and they prolonged their stay.
Allah's Apostle got up and went out, and I too, went out
along with him till he came to the lintel of 'Aisha's
dwelling place. Allah's Apostle thought that those people
had left by then, so he returned, and I too, returned with
him till he entered upon Zainab and found that they were
still sitting there and had not yet gone. The Prophet went
out again, and so did I with him till he reached the
lintel of 'Aisha's dwelling place, and then he thought
that those people must have left by then, so he returned,
and so did I with him, and found those people had gone. At
that time the Divine Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed, and
the Prophet set a screen between me and him (his family).
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 256:

When the Prophet married Zainab, the people came and
were offered a meal, and then they sat down (after

showed as if he wanted to get up, but they did not get up.
When he noticed that, he got up, and some of the people
also got up and went away, while some others kept on
sitting. When the Prophet returned to enter, he found the
people still sitting, but then they got up and left. So I
told the Prophet of their departure and he came and went
in. I intended to go in but the Prophet put a screen
between me and him, for Allah revealed:-- 'O you who
believe! Enter not the Prophet's houses..' (33.53)

answer the call of nature at night only at Al-Manasi.'
Once Sauda, the daughter of Zam'a went out and she was a
tall woman. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her while he was in a
gathering, and said, "I have recognized you, O Sauda!" He
('Umar) said so as he was anxious for some Divine orders
regarding the veil (the veiling of women.) So Allah
revealed the Verse of veiling. (Al-Hijab; a complete body
cover excluding the eyes). (See Hadith No. 148, Vol. 1)

hole), I would have pierced your eye with it (i.e., the
comb)." Verily! The order of taking permission to enter
has been enjoined because of that sight, (that one should
not look unlawfully at the state of others). (See Hadith

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I have not seen a thing resembling 'lamam' (minor sins)
than what Abu Huraira 'narrated from the Prophet who said
"Allah has written for Adam's son his share of adultery

the tongue is the talk, and the inner self wishes and
desires and the private parts testify all this or deny
it."

was not given the permission, so I returned." (When 'Umar
came to know about it) he said to Abu Musa, "Why did you
not enter?'. Abu Musa replied, "I asked permission three
times, and I was not given it, so I returned, for Allah's
Apostle said, "If anyone of you asks the permission to
enter thrice, and the permission is not given, then he
should return.' " 'Umar said, "By Allah! We will ask Abu
Musa to bring witnesses for it." (Abu Musa went to a
gathering of the Ansar and said). "Did anyone of you hear
this from the Prophet ?" Ubai bin Ka'b said, "By Allah,
none will go with you but the youngest of the people (as a
witness)." (Abu Said) was the youngest of them, so I went
with Abu Musa and informed 'Umar that the Prophet had said
so. (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 3)

Maslama said, "Buda'a was a garden of date-palms at
Medina). She used to pull out the silq (a kind of
vegetable) from its roots and put it in a cooking pot,
adding some powdered barley over it (and cook it). After
finishing the Jumua (Friday) prayer we used to (pass by
her and) greet her, whereupon she would present us with
that meal, so we used to feel happy because of that. We
used to have neither a midday nap, nor meals, except after
the Friday prayer." (See Hadith No. 60, Vol.2)

and greeted the Prophet. Allah's Apostle said to him, "Wa
'Alaikas Salam (returned his greeting). Go back and pray
as you have not prayed (properly)." The man returned,
repeated his prayer, came back and greeted the Prophet.
The Prophet said, "Wa alaika-s-Salam (returned his
greeting). Go back and pray again as you have not prayed
(properly)." The man said at the second or third time, "O
Allah's Apostle! Kindly teach me how to pray". The Prophet
said, "When you stand for prayer, perform ablution
properly and then face the Qibla and say Takbir (Allahu-Akbar),
and then recite what you know from the Qur'an, and then
bow with calmness till you feel at ease then rise from
bowing, till you stand straight, and then prostrate calmly
(and remain in prostration) till you feel at ease, and
then raise (your head) and sit with calmness till you feel
at ease and then prostrate with calmness (and remain in
prostration) till you feel at ease, and then raise (your
head) and sit with calmness till you feel at ease in the
sitting position, and do likewise in whole of your
prayer." And Abu Usama added, "Till you stand straight."

Narrated 'Urwa-bin Az-Zubair:
Usama bin Zaid said, "The Prophet rode over a donkey
with a saddle underneath which there was a thick soft
Fadakiya velvet sheet. Usama bin Zaid was his companion
rider, and he was going to pay a visit to Sa'd bin Ubada
(who was sick) at the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin
Al-Khazraj, and this incident happened before the battle
of Badr. The Prophet passed by a gathering in which there
were Muslims and pagan idolators and Jews, and among them
there was 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul, and there was
'Abdullah bin Rawaha too. When a cloud of dust raised by
the animal covered that gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai
covered his nose with his Rida (sheet) and said (to the
Prophet), "Don't cover us with dust." The Prophet greeted
them and then stopped, dismounted and invited them to
Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and also recited to them
the Holy Quran. 'Abdullah bin Ubai' bin Salul said, "O
man! There is nothing better than what you say, if what
you say is the truth. So do not trouble us in our
gatherings. Go back to your mount (or house,) and if
anyone of us comes to you, tell (your tales) to him." On
that 'Abdullah bin Rawaha said, "(O Allah's Apostle!) Come
to us and bring it(what you want to say) in our
gatherings, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans
and the Jews started quarreling till they were about to
fight and clash with one another. The Prophet kept on
quietening them (till they all became quiet). He then rode
his animal, and proceeded till he entered upon Sa'd bin 'Ubada,
he said, "O Sa'd, didn't you hear what Abu Habbab said?
(He meant 'Abdullah bin Ubai). He said so-and-so." Sa'd
bin 'Ubada said, "O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and forgive
him, for by Allah, Allah has given you what He has given
you. The people of this town decided to crown him (as
their chief) and make him their king. But when Allah
prevented that with the Truth which He had given you, it
choked him, and that was what made him behave in the way
you saw him behaving." So the Prophet excused him.
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 272:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Ka'b:
I heard Ka'b bin Malik narrating (when he did not join
the battle of Tabuk): Allah's Apostle forbade all the
Muslims to speak to us. I would come to Allah's Apostle
and greet him, and I would wonder whether the Prophet did
move his lips to return to my greetings or not till fifty
nights passed away. The Prophet then announced (to the
people) Allah's forgiveness for us (acceptance of our
repentance) at the time when he had offered the Fajr
(morning) prayer.
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 273:
Narrated 'Aisha:
A group of Jews came to Allah's Apostle and said, "As-samu
'Alaika " (Death be on you), and I understood it and said
to them, "Alaikum AsSamu wa-l-la'na (Death and curse be on
you)." Allah's Apostle said, "Be calm! O 'Aisha, for Allah
loves that one should be kind and lenient in all matters."
I said. "O Allah's Apostle! Haven't you heard what they
have said?" Allah's Apostle said, "I have (already) said
(to them), 'Alaikum (upon you).' "
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 274:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "When the Jews greet you, they

should say (in reply to them), 'Wa'alaikum (And on you)."

Narrated 'Ali:
Allah's Apostle sent me, Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam and Abu
Marthad Al-Ghanawi, and all of us were horsemen, and he
said, "Proceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh, where there is
a woman from the pagans carrying a letter sent by Hatib
bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans (of Mecca)." So we overtook
her while she was proceeding on her camel at the same
place as Allah's Apostle told us. We said (to her) "Where
is the letter which is with you?" She said, "I have no
letter with me." So we made her camel kneel down and
searched her mount (baggage etc) but could not find
anything. My two companions said, "We do not see any
letter." I said, "I know that Allah's Apostle did not tell
a lie. By Allah, if you (the lady) do not bring out the
letter, I will strip you of your clothes' When she noticed
that I was serious, she put her hand into the knot of her
waist sheet, for she was tying a sheet round herself, and
brought out the letter. So we proceeded to Allah's Apostle
with the letter. The Prophet said (to Habib), "What made
you o what you have done, O Hatib?" Hatib replied, "I have
done nothing except that I believe in Allah and His
Apostle, and I have not changed or altered (my religion).
But I wanted to do the favor to the people (pagans of
Mecca) through which Allah might protect my family and my
property, as there is none among your companions but has
someone in Mecca through whom Allah protects his property
(against harm). The Prophet said, "Habib has told you the
truth, so do not say to him (anything) but good." 'Umar
bin Al-Khattab said, "Verily he has betrayed Allah, His
Apostle, and the believers! Allow me to chop his neck
off!" The Prophet said, "O 'Umar! What do you know;
perhaps Allah looked upon the Badr warriors and said, 'Do
whatever you like, for I have ordained that you will be in
Paradise.'" On that 'Umar wept and said, "Allah and His
Apostle know best."
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 277:

Apostle . When the letter was read, its contents were as
follows: 'In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the
Merciful. From Muhammad, Allah's slave and His Apostle to
Heraclius, the Chief of Byzantines: Peace be upon him who
follows the right path (guidance)! Amma ba'du (to proceed

The people of (the tribe of) Quraiza agreed upon to
accept the verdict of Sa'd. The Prophet sent for him (Sa'd)
and he came. The Prophet said (to those people), "Get up
for your chief or the best among you!" Sa'd sat beside the
Prophet and the Prophet said (to him), "These people have
agreed to accept your verdict." Sa'd said, "So I give my
judgment that their warriors should be killed and their
women and children should be taken as captives." The
Prophet said, "You have judged according to the King's
(Allah's) judgment." (See Hadith No. 447, Vol. 5)

prayers and the good things are for Allah. Peace and
Allah's Mercy and Blessings be on you, O Prophet! Peace be
on us and on the pious slaves of Allah, I testify that
none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I also
testify that Muhammad is Allah's slave and His Apostle.
(We used to recite this in the prayer) during the lifetime
of the Prophet , but when he had died, we used to say,
"Peace be on the Prophet."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
'Ali bin Abu Talib came out of the house of the Prophet
during his fatal ailment. The people asked ('Ali), "O Abu
Hasan! How is the health of Allah's Apostle this morning?"
'Ali said, "This morning he is better, with the grace of
Allah." Al-'Abbas held Ali by the hand and said, "Don't
you see him (about to die)? By Allah, within three days
you will be the slave of the stick (i.e., under the
command of another ruler). By Allah, I think that Allah's
Apostle will die from his present ailment, for I know the
signs of death on the faces of the offspring of 'Abdul
Muttalib. So let us go to Allah's Apostle to ask him who
will take over the Caliphate. If the authority is given to
us, we will know it, and if it is given to somebody else
we will request him to recommend us to him. " 'Ali said,
"By Allah! If we ask Allah's Apostle for the rulership and
he refuses, then the people will never give it to us.
Besides, I will never ask Allah's Apostle for it." (See

Allah's Right on His slaves is?" I replied, "No." He said,
Allah's Right on His slaves is that they should worship
Him (Alone) and should not join partners in worship with
Him." He said, "O Mu'adh!" I replied, "Labbaik wa Sa'daik."
He said, "Do you know what the right of (Allah's) salves
on Allah is, if they do that (worship Him Alone and join
none in His worship)? It is that He will not punish them."

While I was walking with the Prophet at the Hurra of

before us. The Prophet said, "O Abu Dhar! I would not like
to have gold equal to Uhud (mountain) for me, unless
nothing of it, not even a single Dinar remains of it with
me, for more than one day or three days, except that
single Dinar which I will keep for repaying debts. I will
spend all of it (the whole amount) among Allah's slaves
like this and like this and like this." The Prophet
pointed out with his hand to illustrate it and then said,
"O Abu Dhar!" I replied, "Labbaik wa Sa'daik, O Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "Those who have much wealth (in this
world) will be the least rewarded (in the Hereafter)
except those who do like this and like this (i.e., spend
their money in charity)." Then he ordered me, "Remain at
your place and do not leave it, O Abu Dhar, till I come
back." He went away till he disappeared from me. Then I
heard a voice and feared that something might have
happened to Allah's Apostle, and I intended to go (to find
out) but I remembered the statement of Allah's Apostle
that I should not leave, my place, so I kept on waiting
(and after a while the Prophet came), and I said to him,
"O Allah's Apostle, I heard a voice and I was afraid that
something might have happened to you, but then I
remembered your statement and stayed (there). The Prophet
said, "That was Gabriel who came to me and informed me
that whoever among my followers died without joining
others in worship with Allah, would enter Paradise." I
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Even if he had committed illegal
sexual intercourse and theft?" He said, "Even if he had
committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft '

that, he got up, and when he had got up, some of those
people got up along with him and there remained three (who
kept on sitting). Then the Prophet came back and found
those people still sitting. Later on those people got up
and went away. So I went to the Prophet and informed him
that they had left.
The Prophet came, and entered (his house). I wanted to
enter(along with him) but he dropped a curtain between me
and him. Allah then revealed: 'O you who believe! Do not
enter the Prophet's Houses until leave is given... (to His
statement)... Verily! That shall be an enormity, in
Allah's sight.' (33.53)
