“We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey, and we kept going one night, then when it was nearly morning the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) dismounted and slept, and the people slept too. We did not wake up until the sun had risen. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked the Mu’adhdhin to call the Adhan, then he prayed the two Rak’ahs before Fajr, then he asked him to say the Iqamah, then he led the people in prayer. Then he told us about everything that will happen until the Hour begins.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr passed by me and Abu Bakr said to me: ‘0 Mas’ud, go to Abu Tamim’ – meaning the man from whom he had been freed – ‘and tell him to give us a camel so that we could ride, and let him send us some food and a guide to show us the way.’ So I went to my former master and told him the same, and he sent with me a camel and vessels of milk, and I brought them via a secret route. Then the time for prayer came and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and prayed, and Abu Bakr stood to his right. I had come to know about Islam and I was with them, so I came and stood behind them. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pushed Abu Bakr on the chest (to make him move backward) and we stood behind him.” Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai)said: (This) Buraidah is not a reliable narrator of Hadith.
“We complained to the Messenger of Allah on the day of Uhud, saying: ‘O Messneger of Allah, it is too difficult for us to dig a grave for each person.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Dig graves and make them good and deep, and bury two or three in one grave.’ They said: ‘Who should we put in first, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said: ‘Put in first the one who knew more Qur’an.”‘ He said: “My father was the third of three in one grave.”
“The Messenger of Allah passed by two graves and said: “They are being punished but they are not being punished for anything that was difficult to avoid. One of them used not to take care to avoid getting urine on his body or clothes, and the other used to walk about spreading gossip.’ Then he took a fresh palm stalk and broke it in half, and planted one half on each grave. They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, why did not do that?’ He said: ‘May it be reduced for them so long as this does not dry out.”‘
‘The people will be gathered in three groups: A group who will be riding, well fed and well clothed; a group whom the angels will drag on their faces and whom the fire will drive; and a group who will be walking with difficulty. Allah will send a disease to kill all the riding beasts and none will remain, until a man would give a garden for a she-camel but he will not be able to have it.
“By Allah, you have no rights over us.” She went to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that, and he said: “You have no right to maintenance.” He told her to observe her ‘Iddah in the house of Umm Sharik, then he said: “She is a woman whose house is frequented by my Companions. Observe your ‘Iddah in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, for he is a blind man and you can take off your garment. And when your ‘Iddah is over, let me know.” She said: “When my ‘Iddah was over I told him that Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm had proposed marriage to me. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘As for Abu Jahm, his stick never leaves his shoulder, and as for Mu’awiyah he is a poor man who has no wealth. Rather you should marry Usamah bin Zaid.’ I did not like the idea, then he said: ‘Marry Usamah bin Zaid.’ So I married him and Allah created a lot of good in him, and others felt jealous of my good fortune.”
“The sandals of the Messenger of Allah had two straps.”
A man from the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) told me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited cupping and perpetual fasting, but he had not made them unlawful showing mercy on his Companions. Thereupon he was asked: Messenger of Allah, you observe perpetual fast till dawn. He replied: I observe perpetual fast till dawn (for) my Lord gives me food and drink.

A daughter of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent him message while I and Sa’d were with him and I think Ubayy was also there: My son or daughter (the narrator is doubtful) is dying, so come to us. He sent her greeting, saying at the same time: Say! What Allah has been taken belongs to Him, what He has given (belongs to Him), and He has appointed time for everything. She then sent a message adjuring him (to come to her). So he came to her and the child who was on the point of death was placed in the hearts of those whom He wished. Allah shows compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate.
I said to the Prophet (ﷺ): Your old and astray uncle has died. He said: Go and bury your father, and then do not do anything until you come to me. So I went, buried him and came to him. He ordered me (to take a bath), so I took a bath, and he prayed for me.

When one of you meets his brother, he should salute him, then if he meets him again after a tree, wall or stone has come between them, he should also salute him. Mu’awiyah said: ‘Abd al-Wahhab b.

“We used to hope that an intelligent Bedouin would show up to question the Prophet while we were with him. So one while we were with him, a Bedouin came, kneeling in front of the Prophet, and he said: ‘O Muhammad, your messenger came to us and told us that you say that Allah sent you.’ So the Prophet say: ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘So, (swear) by the One who raised the heaves, and spread out the earth, and erected the mountains; has Allah sent you?’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Your messenger told us that you say that there are five prayers required from us in a day and a night.’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘By the One Who sent you, has Allah ordered that you you?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Your messenger told us that you say that we are required to fast for a month out of the year.’ He said, ‘He told the truth.’ He said, ‘By the One Who sent you, has Allah ordered that you?’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Your messenger told us that Zakat is required from our wealth.’ The Prophet said, ‘He told the truth.’ He said, ‘By the One Who sent you, has Allah ordered you that?’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Your messenger told us that you say that we are required to perform Hajj to Allah’s House if able to undertake the journey.’ The Prophet said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘By the One Who sent you, has Allah Commanded you that?’ (The Prophet said:) ‘Yes.’ So he said: ‘By the One Who sent you with the Truth, I will not leave any of them, nor surpass them.’ Then he got up quickly (leaving). The Prophet said: ‘If the Bedouin told the truth, then he will enter Paradise.'”
“I have directed my face towards the One who created the Heavens and the earth, as a Hanif, and I am not of the idolaters. Indeed, my Salat, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying is for Allah, the Lord of all that exists, there is no partner for Him, and with this have I been ordered, and I am among the Muslims. O Allah, You are the King, there is none worthy of worship except You. You are My Lord, and I am Your slave, I have wronged myself, and I admit to my sin, so forgive me all my sins, verily, there is none who forgives sins but You. And guide me to the best of the manners, none guides to the best of them except You, and turn the evil of them away from me, lā yaṣrifu `annī sayyi’aha illā ant. Āmantu bika tabārakta wa ta`ālaita astaghfiruka wa atūbu ilaik).” And when he would bow in Ruku`, he would say: “O Allah, to You I have bowed, and in You I believe, and to You have I submitted. My hearing, my sight, my brain, my bones and my sinew are humbled to you (Allāhumma laka raka`tu wa bika āmantu wa laka aslamtu. Khasha`a laka sam`ī wa baṣarī wa mukhkhī wa `iẓāmī, wa `aṣabī)” Then when he would raise his head, he would say: “O Allah, our Lord, to You is praise the fill of the Heavens and the earths and the fill of whatever You will of things. (Allāhumma rabbanā lakal-ḥamdu mil’as-samāwāti wal-arḍīna wa mā bainahumā, wa mil’a mā shi’ta min shay’in ba`d).” Then, when he prostrated, he would say: “O Allah, to You have I prostrated, and in You have I believed, and to You have I submitted, my face has prostrated to the One Who created it and fashioned it, and gave it its hearing and its sight. So Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators (Allāhumma laka sajadtu wa bika āmantu wa laka aslamtu, sajada wajhi lilladhī khalaqahū fa ṣuwwarahū wa shaqqa sam`ahū wa baṣarahū fatabārak Allāhu ahsanul-khāliqīn).” Then the last of what he would say between At-Tashah-hud and As-Salam would be: “O Allah, forgive me what I have done before and after, and what I have hidden and what I have done openly, and what You know more of it than I, You are the One who sends forth and the One who delays, there is none worthy of worship except You. (Allāhummaghfirlī mā qaddamtu wa mā akhkhartu wa mā asrartu wa mā a`lantu wa mā anta a`lamu bihī minnī antal-Muqaddimu wa antal-Mu’akhkhiru, lā ilāha illā ant).”
