We were sitting with 'Abdullah bin 'Amr who was narrating to us

Narrated Abu Hazim:
Sahl bin Sa'd said that a woman brought a Burda (sheet) to the
Prophet. Sahl asked the people, "Do you know what is a Burda?" The
people replied, "It is a 'Shamla', a 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."

(killing).

The Prophet said, "If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying:
'Allah loves so and so; O Gabriel, love him.' Gabriel would love
him, and then Gabriel would make an announcement among the residents

it, (c) and till Allah and His Apostle become dearer to him than
anything else."

(Mecca a sanctuary)." And do you know which month is this month?"
They (the People) replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He
said, ''This is the Sacred (forbidden) month ." He added, "Allah has
made your blood, your properties and your honor Sacred to one
another (i.e. Muslims) like the sanctity of this day of yours in

(who was one of the companions who gave the pledge of allegiance to
the Prophet underneath the tree (Al-Hudaibiya)) Allah's Apostle
said, "Whoever swears by a religion other 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."

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!"

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 the last
ten days of Ramadan)."

Narrated Ma'rur:
I saw Abu Dhar wearing a Burd (garment) and his slave too was
wearing a Burd, so I said (to Abu Dhar), "If you take this (Burda of
your slave) and wear it (along with 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."

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).

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.

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."

than this, yet he remained patient."

Narrated Abu Bakra:
A man was mentioned before the Prophet and another man praised him
greatly The Prophet said, "May Allah's Mercy be on you ! You have
cut the neck of your friend." The 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.")

The Prophet continued for such-and-such period 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."

Allah's worshipers! Be brothers (as Allah has ordered you!")

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."

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.

nights."

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."

do not leave, except your name."

(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.' The

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.

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."

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!"

leave till we conquer 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.

cannot afford that." The 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).

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
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.

not sit firm on horses. He stroked me on the chest with his hand,
and said, "O Allah! Make him firm and make him a guiding and a
rightly guided man.

Narrated Zainab bint Um Salama:
Um Sulaim said, "O Allah's Apostle! Verily Allah is not shy of
(telling you) the truth. Is it essential for a woman to take a bath
after she had a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?" He said,
"Yes, if she notices discharge. On that Um Salama laughed and said,
"Does a woman get a (nocturnal sexual) discharge?" He said, "How
then does (her) son resemble her (his mother)?"

Narrated Anas:
A man came to the Prophet on a Friday while he (the Prophet) was
delivering a sermon at Medina, and said, "There is lack of rain, so
please invoke your Lord to bless us with the rain." The Prophet
looked at the sky 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 left, and it rained round about
Medina and not upon Medina. Allah showed them (the people) the
miracle of His Prophet and His response to his invocation.

Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and
righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the
truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to
Al-Fajur (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness)
leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he
is written before Allah, a liar."

The Prophet said, "I saw (in a dream), two men came to me." Then the
Prophet narrated the story (saying), "They said, 'The person, the
one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear)
was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those
lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So he
will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection."'
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 119
Narrated Hudhaifa:
From among the people, Ibn Um 'Abd greatly resembled Allah's

to it. But we do not know how he behaves with his family when he is
alone with them.
