“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stayed behind, and I stayed with him. When he had relieved himself he said: ‘Do you have any water with you?’ I brought some water to him, and he washed his hands and face, then he started trying to uncover his arms, but the sleeves of his Jubbah were too tight, so he threw it over his shoulders and washed his arms and wiped over his forehead and ‘Imamah, and over his Khuff.”
It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to (go around) all his wives and perform Ghusl once.
“While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in the Masjid, he said: ‘O ‘Aishah, hand me the garment.’ She said: ‘I am not praying.’ He said: ‘It is not in your hand.’ So she gave it to him.”

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say on the Minbar: ‘Do not let the Bedouin make you change the name of your prayer; verily, it is ‘Isha’.'”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Fajr on the day of Khaibar during the time it was still dark, when he was near the enemy. Then he attacked them and said: ‘Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed!’ Twice. ‘Then, when it descends in their courtyard, evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!'” As-Saffat 37:177
“I used to call the Adhan for the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) and in the first Adhan of Fajr I used to Say: ‘Hayya ‘ala al-falah, as-salatu khairun minan-nawm, as-salatu khairun minan-nawm, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illallah (Come to prosperity, prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is none worthy of worship except Allah).'”
‘When you are praying, do not spit to the front or to your right. Spit behind you or to your left if there is no one there, otherwise do this.’ And he spat beneath his foot and rubbed it.'”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘A man should not be led in prayer in his place of authority, and no one should sit in his place of honor except with his permission.”‘
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to gently pat our shoulders (to make sure the row was straight) at the time of prayer, and he would say: ‘Keep (the rows) straight; do not differ from one another lest your hearts should suffer from discord. Let those who are mature and wise stand closest to me, then those who are next to them, then those who are next to them.”‘
“One day the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed Fajr, then he said: ‘Did so-and-so attend the prayer? They said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘(What about) so-and-so? They said:’No’ He said: ‘These two prayers. are the most burdensome for the hypocrites. If they knew what (virtue) there is in them, they would come, even if they had to crawl. And the virtue of the first row is like that of the row of the angels. If you knew its virtue, you would compete for it. A man’s prayer with another man is greater in reward than his prayer alone. And a man’s prayer with two other men is greater in reward than his prayer with one other man; the more people there are, the more beloved that is to Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.”‘
When the Prophet (ﷺ) started to pray he would say: “Subhanakallahumma, wa bihamdika tabarakasmuka wa ta’ala jadduka wa la ilaha ghairuk (Glory and praise be to You, O Allah. Blessed be Your name and exalted be Your majesty, there is none worthy of worship except You.)”

“I have never prayed behind anyone whose prayer more closely resembled that of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) than so-and-so. We prayed behind that person and he used to make the first two rak’ahs of Zuhr lengthy and the last two shorter, and he would make ‘Asr shorter; in Maghrib he would recite the short Mufassal surahs. In Isha’ he recited: ‘By the sun and its brightness and similar surahs, and in subh he recited two lengthy surahs.”

“I attended the prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the day of ‘Eid. He started with the prayer before the Khutbah, with no Adhan and no Iqamah. When he finished the prayer, he stood leaning on Bilal, and he praised and glorified Allah (SWT) and exhorted the people, reminding them and urging them to obey Allah (SWT). Then he moved away and went to the women, and Bilal was with him. He commanded them to fear Allah (SWT) and exhorted them and reminded them. He praised and glorified Allah, then he urged them to obey Allah, then he said: ‘Give charity, for most of you are the fuel of Hell.’ A lowly woman with dark cheeks said: ‘Why, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘You complain a great deal and are ungrateful to your husbands.’ They started taking off their necklaces, earrings and rings, throwing them into Bilal’s garment, giving them in charity.”

When she looked at my companion’s Rida’ she liked it, but when she looked at me, she liked me.

He commanded that a leather cloth (be spread) and dates, cottage cheese and ghee were placed on it, and that was his Walimah. The Muslims said: ‘(Will she be) one of the Mothers of the Believers, or a female slave whom his right hand possesses?’ They said: ‘If he has a Hijab for her, then she will be one of the Mothers of the Believers and if she does not have a Hijab then she will be a female slave whom his right hand possesses.’ When he rode on, he set aside a plate for her behind him and extended a Hijab between her and the people.”
“Buy her and set her free, for Al-Wala’ is to the one who sets the slave free.” Some meat was brought and it was said: “This is some of that which was given in charity to Barirah.” He said: “It is charity for her and a gift for us.” And the Messenger of Allah gave her the choice, and her husband was a free man.

He said: “No, rather I drank honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, but I will never do it again.” Then the following was revealed: ‘O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you.’ ‘If you two turn in repentance to Allah, (it will be better for you)’ about ‘Aishah and Hafsah, ‘And (remember) when the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives’ refers to him saying: “No, rather I drank honey.”

I heard the Messenger of Allah say: It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim except in one of three cases: A man who reverts to Kufr after becoming Muslim, or commits adultery after being married, or one who kills a soul unlawfully.

When Ibn Umm Makhtum who was blind heard the excellence of the warriors. He stood up and said “Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) how is it for those believers who are unable to fight (in the path of Allaah)? When he finished his question his divinely-inspired calmness overtook him, and his thigh fell on my thigh and I found its weight the second time as I found the first time.” When the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) regained his composure, he said “Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) said “Other than those who have a (disabling hurt).

This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, they dislike selling the Muhaffalah, and it is the Musarrah that has not been milked by its owner in days or more than that, so the milk accumulates in its udder to impress the purchaser. This is a type of deceit and misrepresentation.

Bring this one to us, and let us be blessed by him.’ Until he reaches them, and says to them: ‘Receive the good news! For each man among you shall be the likes of this.'” “As for the disbeliever, then his face shall be blackened, he will be grown in his body to sixty forearm-lengths in the image of Adam, he will given a crown, and his companions will see him and say: ‘We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of this one.
