Safinah AbuAbdurRahman said that a man prepared food for Ali ibn AbuTalib who was his guest, and Fatimah said: I wish we had invited the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he had eaten with us. They invited him, and when he came he put his hands on the side-ports of the door, but when he saw the figured curtain which had been put at the end of the house, he went away. So Fatimah said to Ali: Follow him and see what turned him back. I (Ali) followed him and asked: What turned you back, Messenger of Allah? He replied: It is not fitting for me or for any Prophet to enter a house which is decorated.

## Hadith #4650

**Book:** Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah) | **Narrator(s):** Abdul Salam bin Harb bin Salm al-Mala'i عبد السلام بن حرب بن سلم النهدي الملائي, Abdur Rahman bin Muhammad al-Maharbi عبد الرحمن بن محمد بن زياد المحاربي, Abu Hurairah, Abu Khalid al-Dalani أبو خالد الدالاني الأسدي, Hanad bin al-Sari bin Mus'ab هناد بن السري بن مصعب | **Grade:** Sahih

I was sitting with someone in the mosque of Kufah while the people of Kufah were with him. Then Sa’id ibn Zayd ibn Amr ibn Nufayl came and he welcomed him, greeted him, and seated him near his foot on the throne. Then a man of the inhabitants of Kufah, called Qays ibn Alqamah, came. He received him and began to abuse him.
Sa’id asked: Whom is this man abusing? He replied: He is abusing Ali. He said: Don’t I see that the companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) are being abused, but you neither stop it nor do anything about it? I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say–and I need not say for him anything which he did not say, and then he would ask me tomorrow when I see him –AbuBakr will go to Paradise and Umar will go to Paradise. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect (as in No. 4632).
He then said: The company of one of their man whose face has been covered with dust by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is better than the actions of one of you for a whole life time even if he is granted the life-span of Noah.

he saw the Prophet sleeping, while in the prostration position, until he snored or snorted. Then he stoodup to pray. So I said: “O Messenger of Allah! You were sleeping?” He said: “Wudu is not required except for sleeping while reclining. For when one reclines, joints relax.”
