the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had
asked. Some of them said that Alllah's Apostle had not
heard it. When the Prophet finished his speech, he said,
"Where is the questioner, who enquired about the Hour
(Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's
Apostle ." Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost,

for the Hour (Doomsday.)"

while and then one of them found a place in the circle and
sat there while the other sat behind the gathering, and
the third one went away. When Allah's Apostle finished his
preaching, he said, "Shall I tell you about these three
persons? One of them be-took himself to Allah, so Allah
took him into His grace and mercy and accommodated him,
the second felt shy from Allah, so Allah sheltered Him in
His mercy (and did not punish him), while the third turned
his face from Allah and went away, so Allah turned His
face from him likewise. "

(slaughtering of the animals of sacrifice)" We replied,
"Yes." He further asked, "Which month is this?" We again
kept quiet, thinking that he might give it another name.
Then he said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We
replied, "Yes." He said, "Verily! Your blood, property and
honor are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) like the
sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and
in this city of yours. It is incumbent upon those who are
present to inform those who are absent because those who
are absent might comprehend (what I have said) better than
the present audience."

you know anyone who is more learned than you? Moses

Moses: 'Yes, Our slave Khadir (is more learned than you.)'
Moses asked (Allah) how to meet him (Khadir). So Allah
made the fish as a sign for him and he was told that when
the fish was lost, he should return (to the place where he
had lost it) and there he would meet him (Al-Khadir). So
Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea.
The servant-boy of Moses said to him: Do you remember when
we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish,
none but Satan made me forget to remember it. On that
Moses said: 'That is what we have been seeking? (18.64) So

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 79:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, "The example of guidance and
knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant
rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil
that absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and
grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard
and held the rain water and Allah benefited the people
with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their
animals drink from it and for irrigation of the land for
cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could
neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then
that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of
the person who comprehends Allah's religion and gets
benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has revealed
through me (the Prophets and learns and then teaches
others. The last example is that of a person who does not
care for it and does not take Allah's guidance revealed
through me (He is like that barren land.)"

(sacrificing animal)." The Prophet said, "There is no
harm, go and do the slaughtering now." Then another person
came and said, "I forgot and slaughtered (the camel)
before Rami (throwing of the pebbles) at the Jamra." The
Prophet said, "Do the Rami now and there is no harm."

towards the sky. (I looked towards the mosque), and saw
the people offering the prayer. Aisha said, "Subhan
Allah." I said to her, "Is there a sign?" She nodded with
her head meaning, "Yes." I, too, then stood (for the
prayer of eclipse) till I became (nearly) unconscious and
later on I poured water on my head. After the prayer, the
Prophet praised and glorified Allah and then said,
"Just now at this place I have seen what I have never
seen before, including Paradise and Hell. No doubt it has
been inspired to me that you will be put to trials in your
graves and these trials will be like the trials of
Masiah-ad-Dajjal or nearly like it (the sub narrator is
not sure which expression Asma' used). You will be asked,
'What do you know about this man (the Prophet Muhammad)?'
Then the faithful believer (or Asma' said a similar word)
will reply, 'He is Muhammad Allah's Apostle who had come
to us with clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted
his teachings and followed him. And he is Muhammad.' And
he will repeat it thrice. Then the angels will say to him,
'Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you were a
faithful believer.' On the other hand, a hypocrite or a
doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know, but I heard
the people saying something and so I said it.' (the same).

I was an interpreter between the people and Ibn 'Abbas.
Once Ibn 'Abbas said that a delegation of the tribe
of'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet who asked them, "Who are
the people (i.e. you)? (Or) who are the delegates?" They
replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabi'a." Then the
Prophet said to them, "Welcome, O people (or said, "O
delegation (of 'Abdul Qais).") Neither will you have
disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "We have come to
you from a distant place and there is the tribe of the
infidels of Mudar intervening between you and us and we
cannot come to you except in the sacred month. So please
order us to do something good (religious deeds) and that
we may also inform our people whom we have left behind (at
home) and that we may enter Paradise (by acting on them.)"
The Prophet ordered them to do four things, and forbade
them from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah
Alone, the Honorable the Majestic and said to them, "Do
you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They
replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." Thereupon
the Prophet said, "(That means to testify that none has
the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is
His Apostle, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay Zakat, to
observe fasts during the month of Ramadan, (and) to pay
Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah's
cause)." Then he forbade them four things, namely Ad-Dubba.'
Hantam, Muzaffat (and) An-Naqir or Muqaiyar(These were the

left behind."

whom he married (his wife) at my breast." 'Uqba said to
her, "Neither I knew that you have suckled (nursed) me nor
did you tell me." Then he rode over to see Allah's Apostle
at Medina, and asked him about it. Allah's Apostle said,
"How can you keep her as a wife when it has been said
(that she is your foster-sister)?" Then Uqba divorced her,
and she married another man.

Divine Inspiration and other things, and when he went, he
used to do the same for me. Once my Ansari friend, in his
turn (on returning from the Prophet), knocked violently at
my door and asked if I was there." I became horrified and
came out to him. He said, "Today a great thing has
happened." I then went to Hafsa and saw her weeping. I
asked her, "Did Allah's Apostle divorce you all?" She
replied, "I do not know." Then, I entered upon the Prophet

leads us for it. The narrator added: "I never saw the
Prophet more furious in giving advice than he was on that
day. The Prophet said, "O people! Some of you make others

people in prayer should shorten it because among them
there are the sick the weak and the needy (having some
jobs to do)."

public announcement (about it) for one year, then utilize
it but give it to its owner if he comes." Then the person
asked about the lost camel. On that, the Prophet got angry
and his cheeks or his Face became red and he said, "You
have no concern with it as it has its water container, and
its feet and it will reach water, and eat (the leaves) of
trees till its owner finds it." The man then asked about
the lost sheep. The Prophet replied, "It is either for
you, for your brother (another person) or for the wolf."

and said, "Who is my father, O Allah's Apostle ?" He

person, who will gain your intercession on the Day of
Resurrection?" Allah's Apostle said: O Abu Huraira! "I
have thought that none will ask me about it before you as
I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The
luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day
of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from
the bottom of his heart "None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah."
And 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz wrote to Abu Bakr bin Hazm,
"Look for the knowledge of Hadith and get it written, as I
am afraid that religious knowledge will vanish and the
religious learned men will pass away (die). Do not accept
anything save the Hadiths of the Prophet. Circulate
knowledge and teach the ignorant, for knowledge does not
vanish except when it is kept secretly (to oneself)."

learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders
ignorant persons who when consulted will give their
verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will
lead the people astray."

(about his deeds on the Day of Resurrection) will surely
be punished." I said, "Doesn't Allah say: "He surely will
receive an easy reckoning." (84.8) The Prophet replied,

whoever will be argued about his account, will certainly
be ruined."

then said, "Allah and not the people has made Mecca a
sanctuary. So anybody who has belief in Allah and the Last
Day (i.e. a Muslim) should neither shed blood in it nor
cut down its trees. If anybody argues that fighting is
allowed in Mecca as Allah's Apostle did fight (in Mecca),
tell him that Allah gave permission to His Apostle, but He
did not give it to you. The Prophet added: Allah allowed
me only for a few hours on that day (of the conquest) and
today (now) its sanctity is the same (valid) as it was
before. So it is incumbent upon those who are present to
convey it (this information) to those who are absent."
Abu- Shuraih was asked, "What did 'Amr reply?" He said 'Amr
said, "O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you (in this
respect). Mecca does not give protection to one who
disobeys (Allah) or runs after committing murder, or theft
(and takes refuge in Mecca).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 105:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet said. No doubt your blood, property, the
sub-narrator Muhammad thought that Abu Bakra had also
mentioned and your honor (chastity), are sacred to one
another as is the sanctity of this day of yours in this
month of yours. It is incumbent on those who are present
to inform those who are absent." (Muhammad the Subnarrator
used to say, "Allah's Apostle told the truth.") The
Prophet repeated twice: "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed
Allah's message to you.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 106:
Narrated 'Ali:
The Prophet said, "Do not tell a lie against me for
whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then he
will surely enter the Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 107:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair:
I said to my father, 'I do not hear from you any
narration (Hadith) of Allah s Apostle as I hear (his
narrations) from so and so?" Az-Zubair replied. l was
always with him (the Prophet) and I heard him saying
"Whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then
(surely) let him occupy, his seat in Hell-fire.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 108:
Narrated Anas:
The fact which stops me from narrating a great number
of Hadiths to you is that the Prophet said: "Whoever tells
a lie against me intentionally, then (surely) let him
occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 109:
Narrated Salama:
I heard the Prophet saying, "Whoever (intentionally)
ascribes to me what I have not said then (surely) let him
occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 110:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Name yourselves with my name (use my
name) but do not name yourselves with my Kunya name (i.e.
Abu-l Qasim). And whoever sees me in a dream then surely
he has seen me for Satan cannot impersonate me. And
whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally), then
(surely) let him occupy his seat in Hell-fire."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 111:
Narrated Ash-Sha'bi:
Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked Ali, 'Have you got any book
(which has been revealed to the Prophet apart from the
Qur'an)?' 'Ali replied, 'No, except Allah's Book or the
power of understanding which has been bestowed (by Allah)
upon a Muslim or what is (written) in this sheet of paper
(with me).' Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What is (written)
in this sheet of paper?' Ali replied, it deals with The
Diyya (compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to
the relatives of the victim), the ransom for the releasing
of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and the law
that no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in
punishment) for the killing of (a disbeliever).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 112:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of
Khuza'a killed a man from the tribe of Bani Laith in
revenge for a killed person, belonging to them. They
informed the Prophet about it. So he rode his Rahila
(she-camel for riding) and addressed the people saying,
"Allah held back the killing from Mecca. (The sub-narrator
is in doubt whether the Prophet said "elephant or
killing," as the Arabic words standing for these words
have great similarity in shape), but He (Allah) let His
Apostle and the believers over power the infidels of
Mecca. Beware! (Mecca is a sanctuary) Verily! Fighting in
Mecca was not permitted for anyone before me nor will it
be permitted for anyone after me. It (war) in it was made
legal for me for few hours or so on that day. No doubt it
is at this moment a sanctuary, it is not allowed to uproot
its thorny shrubs or to uproot its trees or to pick up its
Luqatt (fallen things) except by a person who will look
for its owner (announce it publicly). And if somebody is
killed, then his closest relative has the right to choose
one of the two-- the blood money (Diyya) or retaliation
having the killer killed. In the meantime a man from Yemen
came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Get that written for
me." The Prophet ordered his companions to write that for
him. Then a man from Quraish said, "Except Al-Iqhkhir (a
type of grass that has good smell) O Allah's Apostle, as
we use it in our houses and graves." The Prophet said,
"Except Al-Idhkhiri.e. Al-Idhkhir is allowed to be
plucked."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 113:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
There is none among the companions of the Prophet who
has narrated more Hadiths than I except 'Abdallah bin Amr
(bin Al-'As) who used to write them and I never did the
same.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 114:
Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah:
Ibn 'Abbas said, "When the ailment of the Prophet
became worse, he said, 'Bring for me (writing) paper and I
will write for you a statement after which you will not go
astray.' But 'Umar said, 'The Prophet is seriously ill,
and we have got Allah's Book with us and that is
sufficient for us.' But the companions of the Prophet
differed about this and there was a hue and cry. On that
the Prophet said to them, 'Go away (and leave me alone).
It is not right that you should quarrel in front of me."
Ibn 'Abbas came out saying, "It was most unfortunate (a
great disaster) that Allah's Apostle was prevented from
writing that statement for them because of their
disagreement and noise. (Note: It is apparent from this
Hadith that Ibn 'Abbes had witnessed the event and came
out saying this statement. The truth is not so, for Ibn 'Abbas
used to say this statement on narrating the Hadith and he
had not witnessed the event personally. See Fath Al-Bari
Vol. 1, p.220 footnote.) (See Hadith No. 228, Vol. 4).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 115:
Narrated Um Salama:
One night Allah's Apostle got up and said, "Subhan
Allah! How many afflictions have been descended tonight
and how many treasures have been disclosed! Go and wake
the sleeping lady occupants of these dwellings (his wives)
up (for prayers). A well-dressed (soul) in this world may
be naked in the Hereafter. "
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 116:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Once the Prophet led us in the 'Isha' prayer during the
last days of his life and after finishing it (the prayer)
(with Taslim) he said: "Do you realize (the importance of)
this night?" Nobody present on the surface of the earth
tonight will be living after the completion of one hundred
years from this night."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 117:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimuna bint
Al-Harith (the wife of the Prophet ) while the Prophet was
there with her during her night turn. The Prophet offered
the 'Isha' prayer (in the mosque), returned home and after
having prayed four Rakat, he slept. Later on he got up at
night and then asked whether the boy (or he used a similar
word) had slept? Then he got up for the prayer and I stood
up by his left side but he made me stand to his right and
offered five Rakat followed by two more Rakat. Then he
slept and I heard him snoring and then (after a while) he
left for the (Fajr) prayer.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 118:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The
Prophet's narrations). Had it not been for two verses in
the Qur'an, I would not have narrated a single Hadith, and
the verses are:
"Verily those who conceal the clear sign and the
guidance which We have sent down . . . (up to) Most
Merciful." (2:159-160). And no doubt our Muhajir
(emigrant) brothers used to be busy in the market with
their business (bargains) and our Ansari brothers used to
be busy with their property (agriculture). But I (Abu
Huraira) used to stick to Allah's Apostle contented with
what will fill my stomach and I used to attend that which
they used not to attend and I used to memorize that which
they used not to memorize.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 119:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said to Allah's Apostle "I hear many narrations (Hadiths)
from you but I forget them." Allah's Apostle said, "Spread
your Rida' (garment)." I did accordingly and then he moved
his hands as if filling them with something (and emptied
them in my Rida') and then said, "Take and wrap this sheet
over your body." I did it and after that I never forgot
any thing.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 120:
Narrated Ibrahim bin Al-Mundhir:
Ibn Abi Fudaik narrated the same as above
(Hadith...119) but added that the Prophet had moved his
hands as if filling them with something and then he
emptied them in the Rida' of Abu Huraira.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 121:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah's
Apostle . I have propagated one of them to you and if I
propagated the second, then my pharynx (throat) would be
cut (i.e. killed).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 122:
Narrated Jarir:
The Prophet said to me during Hajjat-al-Wida': Let the
people keep quiet and listen. Then he said (addressing the
people), "Do not (become infidels) revert to disbelief
after me by striking the necks (cutting the throats) of
one another (killing each other)."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 123:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Nauf-Al-Bakali claims that Moses
(the companion of Khadir) was not the Moses of Bani Israel
but he was another Moses." Ibn 'Abbas remarked that the
enemy of Allah (Nauf) was a liar.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 124:
Narrated Ubai bin Ka'b:
The Prophet said, "Once the Prophet Moses stood up and
addressed Bani Israel. He was asked, "Who is the most
learned man amongst the people. He said, "I am the most
learned." Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute
absolute knowledge to Him (Allah). So Allah inspired to
him "At the junction of the two seas there is a slave
amongst my slaves who is more learned than you." Moses
said, "O my Lord! How can I meet him?" Allah said: Take a
fish in a large basket (and proceed) and you will find him
at the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set
out along with his (servant) boy, Yusha' bin Nuin and
carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock,
where they laid their heads (i.e. lay down) and slept. The
fish came out of the basket and it took its way into the
sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing thing for both
Moses and his (servant) boy. They proceeded for the rest
of that night and the following day. When the day broke,
Moses said to his (servant) boy: "Bring us our early meal.
No doubt, we have suffered much fatigue in this journey."
Moses did not get tired till he passed the place about
which he was told. There the (servant) boy told Moses, "Do
you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I
indeed forgot the fish." Moses remarked, "That is what we
have been seeking. So they went back retracing their
foot-steps, till they reached the rock. There they saw a
man covered with a garment (or covering himself with his
own garment). Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir replied saying,
"How do people greet each other in your land?" Moses said,
"I am Moses." He asked, "The Moses of Bani Israel?" Moses
replied in the affirmative and added, "May I follow you so
that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been
taught." Al-Khadir replied, "Verily! You will not be able
to remain patient with me, O Moses! I have some of the
knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do
not know, while you have some knowledge which Allah has
taught you which I do not know." Moses said, "Allah
willing, you will find me patient and I will not disobey
you in aught. So both of them set out walking along the
sea-shore, as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a
boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the
boat to take them on board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir
and took them on board without fare. Then a sparrow came
and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once
or twice in the sea. Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My
knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah's
knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the
water of the sea with its beak." Al-Khadir went to one of
the planks of the boat and plucked it out. Moses said,
"These people gave us a free lift but you have broken
their boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people." Al-Khadir
replied, "Didn't I tell you that you will not be able to
remain patient with me." Moses said, "Call me not to
account for what I forgot." The first (excuse) of Moses
was that he had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and
found a boy playing with other boys. Al-Khadir took hold
of the boy's head from the top and plucked it out with his
hands (i.e. killed him). Moses said, "Have you killed an
innocent soul who has killed none." Al-Kha,dir replied,
"Did I not tell you that you cannot remain patient with
me?" Then they both proceeded till when they came to the
people of a town, they asked them for food, but they
refused to entertain them. Then they found there a wall on
the point of collapsing. Al-Khadir repaired it with his
own hands. Moses said, "If you had wished, surely you
could have taken wages for it." Al-Khadir replied, "This
is the parting between you and me." The Prophet added,
"May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have
been more patient to learn more about his story with Al-Khadir.
"
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 125:
Narrated Abu Musa:
A man came to the Prophet and asked, "O Allah's
Apostle! What kind of fighting is in Allah's cause? (I ask
this), for some of us fight because of being enraged and
angry and some for the sake of his pride and haughtiness."
The Prophet raised his head (as the questioner was
standing) and said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word
(Islam) should be superior, then he fights in Allah's
cause."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 126:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amar:
I saw the Prophet near the Jamra and the people were
asking him questions (about religious problems). A man
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! I have slaughtered the Hadi
(animal) before doing the Rami." The Prophet replied, "Do
the Rami (now) and there is no harm." Another person
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! I got my head shaved before
slaughtering the animal." The Prophet replied, "Do the
slaughtering (now) and there is no harm." So on that day,
when the Prophet was asked about anything as regards the
ceremonies of Hajj performed before or after its due time
his reply was, "Do it (now) and there is no harm."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 127:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
While I was going with the Prophet through the ruins of
Medina and he was reclining on a date-palm leaf stalk,
some Jews passed by. Some of them said to the others: Ask
him (the Prophet) about the spirit. Some of them said that
they should not ask him that question as he might give a
reply which would displease them. But some of them
insisted on asking, and so one of them stood up and asked,
"O Aba-l-Qasim ! What is the spirit?" The Prophet remained
quiet. I thought he was being inspired Divinely. So I
stayed till that state of the Prophet (while being
inspired) was over. The Prophet then said, "And they ask
you (O Muhammad) concerning the spirit --Say: The spirit
-- its knowledge is with my Lord. And of knowledge you
(mankind) have been given only a little)." (17.85)
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 128:
Narrated Aswad:
Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, "Aisha used to tell you
secretly a number of things. What did she tell you about
the Ka'ba?" I replied, "She told me that once the Prophet
said, 'O 'Aisha! Had not your people been still close to
the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (infidelity)! I would
have dismantled the Ka'ba and would have made two doors in
it; one for entrance and the other for exit." Later on Ibn
Az-Zubair did the same.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 129:
Narrated Abu At-Tufail:
the above mentioned Statement of 'Ali.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 130:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
"Once Mu'adh was along with Allah's Apostle as a
companion rider. Allah's Apostle said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal."
Mu'adh replied, "Labbaik and Sa'daik. O Allah's Apostle!"
Again the Prophet said, "O Mu'adh!" Mu'adh said thrice, "Labbaik
and Sa'daik, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said,
"There is none who testifies sincerely that none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is his
Apostle, except that Allah, will save him from the
Hell-fire." Mu'adh said, "O Allah's Apostle ! Should I not
inform the people about it so that they may have glad
tidings?" He replied, "When the people hear about it, they
will solely depend on it." Then Mu'adh narrated the
above-mentioned Hadith just before his death, being afraid
of committing sin (by not telling the knowledge).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 131:
Narrated Anas:
I was informed that the Prophet had said to Mu'adh,
"Whosoever will meet Allah without associating anything in
worship with Him will go to Paradise." Mu'adh asked the
Prophet, "Should I not inform the people of this good
news?" The Prophet replied, "No, I am afraid, lest they
should depend upon it (absolutely)."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 132:
Narrated Um Salama:
Um-Sulaim came to Allah's Apostle and said, "Verily,
Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it
necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet
dream (nocturnal sexual discharge?) The Prophet replied,
"Yes, if she notices a discharge." Um Salama, then covered
her face and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Does a woman get a
discharge?" He replied, "Yes, let your right hand be in
dust (An Arabic expression you say to a person when you
contradict his statement meaning "you will not achieve
goodness"), and that is why the son resembles his mother."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 133:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Once Allah's Apostle said, "Amongst the trees there is
a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a
Muslim, tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started
thinking about the trees of the desert areas and I thought
of the date-palm tree but felt shy (to answer). The others
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! inform us of it." He replied,
"it is the date-palm tree." I told my father what had come
to my mind and on that he said, "Had you said it I would
have preferred it to such and such a thing that I might
possess."
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 134:
Narrated 'Ali:
I used to get the emotional urethral discharge
frequently so I requested Al-Miqdad to ask the Prophet
about it. Al-Miqdad asked him and he replied, "One has to
perform ablution (after it)." (See Hadith No. 269).
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 135:
Narrated Nafi:
'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "A man got up in the mosque
and said: O Allah's Apostle 'At which place you order us
that we should assume the Ihram?' Allah's Apostle replied,
'The residents of Medina should assure the Ihram from
Dhil-Hulaifa, the people of Syria from Al-Ju,hfa and the
people of Najd from Qarn." Ibn 'Umar further said, "The
people consider that Allah's Apostle had also said, 'The
residents of Yemen should assume Ihram from Yalamlam.' "
Ibn 'Umar used to say, "I do not: remember whether Allah's
Apostle had said the last statement or not?"
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 136:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
A man asked the Prophet : "What (kinds of clothes)
should a Muhrim (a Muslim intending to perform 'Umra or
Hajj) wear? He replied, "He should not wear a shirt, a
turban, trousers, a head cloak or garment scented with
saffron or Wars (kinds of perfumes). And if he has n
slippers, then he can use Khuffs (leather socks) but the
socks should be cut short so as to make the ankles bare."
(See Hadith No. 615, Vol. 2).
