Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the
Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed
about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where
are we from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven."
Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night
forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will
not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the women
and will not marry forever." Allah's Apostle came to them and said,
"Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more
submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break my
fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he, who does not follow my
tradition in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers)."
Narrated 'Ursa:
that he asked 'Aisha about the Statement of Allah: 'If you
fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls, then
marry (other) women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that
you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (the
captives) that your right hands possess. That will be nearer to prevent you
from doing injustice.' (4.3) 'Aisha said, "O my nephew! (This Verse has
been revealed in connection with) an orphan girl under the guardianship of her
guardian who is attracted by her wealth and beauty and intends to marry her
with a Mahr less than what other women of her standard deserve. So they (such
guardians) have been forbidden to marry them unless they do justice to them and
give them their full Mahr, and they are ordered to marry other women instead of
them."
Narrated 'Alqama:
While I was with Abdullah, 'Uthman met him at Mina and said,
"O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman ! I have something to say to you." So both of
them went aside and 'Uthman said, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rah. man! Shall we marry
you to a virgin who will make you remember your past days?" When 'Abdullah
felt that he was not in need of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying,
"O 'Alqama!" Then I heard him saying (in reply to 'Uthman), "As
you have said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet once said to us, 'O young
people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not
able to marry, is recommended to fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.
Narrated 'Abdullah:
We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no
wealth whatever. So Allah's Apostle said, "O young people! Whoever among
you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his
modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse
etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his
sexual power."
Narrated 'Ata:
We presented ourselves along with Ibn 'Abbas at the funeral
procession of Maimuna at a place called Sarif. Ibn 'Abbas said, "This is
the wife of the Prophet so when you lift her bier, do not Jerk it or shake it
much, but walk smoothly because the Prophet had nine wives and he used to observe
the night turns with eight of them, and for one of them there was no night
turn."
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet I used to go round (have sexual relations with)
all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
Ibn 'Abbas asked me, "Are you married?" I replied,
"No." He said, "Marry, for the best person of this (Muslim)
nation (i.e., Muhammad) of all other Muslims, had the largest number of
wives."
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
The Prophet said, "The rewards (of deeds) are according
to the intention, and everybody will get the reward for what he has intended.
So whoever emigrated for Allah's and His Apostle's sake, his emigration was for
Allah and His Apostle; and whoever emigrated for worldly benefits, or to marry
a woman, then his emigration was for the thing for what he emigrated for."

Narrated Ibn Masud:
We used to fight in the holy battles in the company of the
Prophet and we had no wives with us. So we said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall
we get castrated?" The Prophet forbade us to do so.
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf came (from Mecca to Medina) and the
Prophet made a bond of brotherhood between him and Sad bin Ar-Rabi' Al-Ansari.
Al-Ansari had two wives, so he suggested that 'Abdur-Rahman take half, his
wives and property. 'Abdur-Rahman replied, "May Allah bless you with your
wives and property. Kindly show me the market." So 'Abdur-Rahman went to
the market and gained (in bargains) some dried yoghurt and some butter. After a
few days the Prophet saw Abdur-Rahman with some yellow stains on his clothes
and asked him, "What is that, O 'Abdur-Rahman?" He replied, "I
had married an Ansari woman." The Prophet asked, "How much Mahr did
you give her?" He replied, "The weight of one (date) stone of
gold." The Prophet said, "Offer a banquet, even with one sheep."

marrying), and had he allowed him, we would have got ourselves castrated.(1)
Narrated 'Abdullah:
We used to participate in the holy battles led by Allah's
Apostle and we had nothing (no wives) with us. So we said, "Shall we get
ourselves castrated?" He forbade us that and then allowed us to marry
women with a temporary contract (2) and recited to us: -- 'O you who believe !
Make not unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you, but
commit no transgression.' (5.87)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am a young man and I am
afraid that I may commit illegal sexual intercourse and I cannot afford to
marry." He kept silent, and then repeated my question once again, but he
kept silent. I said the same (for the third time) and he remained silent. Then
repeated my question (for the fourth time), and only then the Prophet said,
"O Abu Huraira! The pen has dried after writing what you are going to
confront. So (it does not matter whether you) get yourself castrated or
not."
Narrated 'Aisha :
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Suppose you landed in a
valley where there is a tree of which something has been eaten and then you
found trees of which nothing has been eaten, of which tree would you let your
camel graze?" He said, "(I will let my camel graze) of the one of
which nothing has been eaten before." (The sub-narrator added: 'Aisha
meant that Allah's Apostle had not married a virgin besides herself .)
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said (to me), "You have been shown to
me twice in (my) dreams. A man was carrying you in a silken cloth and said to
me, 'This is your wife.' I uncovered it; and behold, it was you. I said to
myself, 'If this dream is from Allah, He will cause it to come true.' "
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
While we were returning from a Ghazwa (Holy Battle) with the
Prophet, I started driving my camel fast, as it was a lazy camel A rider came
behind me and pricked my camel with a spear he had with him, and then my camel
started running as fast as the best camel you may see. Behold! The rider was
the Prophet himself. He said, 'What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied,
I am newly married " He said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron? I
replied, "A matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl
so that you may play with her and she with you?" When we were about to
enter (Medina), the Prophet said, "Wait so that you may enter (Medina) at
night so that the lady of unkempt hair may comb her hair and the one whose
husband has been absent may shave her pubic region.
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
When I got married, Allah's Apostle said to me, "What
type of lady have you married?" I replied, "I have married a matron'
He said, "Why, don't you have a liking for the virgins and for fondling
them?" Jabir also said: Allah's Apostle said, "Why didn't you marry a
young girl so that you might play with her and she with you?'
Narrated 'Ursa:
The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage.
Abu Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You
are my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha) is lawful for
me to marry."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The best women are the riders of the
camels and the righteous among the women of Quraish. They are the kindest women
to their children in their childhood and the more careful women of the property
of their husbands."
Narrated Abu Burda's father:
Allah's Apostle said, any man who has a slave girl whom he
educates properly, teaches good manners, manumits and marries her, will get a
double reward And if any man of the people of the Scriptures believes in his
own prophet and then believes in me too, he will (also) get a double reward And
any slave who fulfills his duty to his master and to his Lord, will (also) get
a double reward."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said: Abraham did not tell lies except three.
(One of them was) when Abraham passed by a tyrant and (his wife) Sara was
accompanying him (Abu Huraira then mentioned the whole narration and said:)
(The tyrant) gave her Hajar. Sara said, "Allah saved me from the hands of
the Kafir (i.e. infidel) and gave me Hajar to serve me." (Abu Huraira
added:) That (Hajar) is your mother, O Banu Ma'-As-Sama' (i.e., the Arabs).
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet stayed for three days between Khaibar and
Medina, and there he consummated his marriage to Safiyya bint Huyai. I invited
the Muslims to the wedding banquet in which neither meat nor bread was offered.
He ordered for leather dining-sheets to be spread, and dates, dried yoghurt and
butter were laid on it, and that was the Prophet's wedding banquet. The Muslims
wondered, "Is she (Saffiyya) considered as his wife or his slave
girl?" Then they said, "If he orders her to veil herself, she will be
one of the mothers of the Believers; but if he does not order her to veil
herself, she will be a slave girl. So when the Prophet proceeded from there, he
spared her a space behind him (on his she-camel) and put a screening veil
between her and the people.
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle manumitted Safiyya and regarded her
manumission as her Mahr.
Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi:
A woman came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have come to give you myself in marriage (without Mahr)."
Allah's Apostle looked at her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance
on her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say
anything, she sat down. A man from his companions got up and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The
Prophet said, "Have you got anything to offer?" The man said,
"No, by Allah, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said (to him),
"Go to your family and see if you have something." The man went and
returned, saying, "No, by Allah, I have not found anything." Allah's
Apostle said, "(Go again) and look for something, even if it is an iron
ring." He went again and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, O Allah's
Apostle! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (waist
sheet)." He had no rida. He added, "I give half of it to her."
Allah's Apostle said, "What will she do with your Izar? If you wear it,
she will be naked, and if she wears it, you will be naked." So that man
sat down for a long while and then got up (to depart). When Allah's Apostle saw
him going, he ordered that he be called back. When he came, the Prophet said,
"How much of the Quran do you know?" He said, "I know such Sura
and such Sura," counting them. The Prophet said, "Do you know them by
heart?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Go, I marry
her to you for that much of the Quran which you have."
Narrated 'Aisha:
Abu Hudhaifa bin 'Utba bin Rabi'a bin Abdi Shams who had
witnessed the battle of Badr along with the Prophet adopted Salim as his son,
to whom he married his niece, Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utba bin Rabi'a; and
Salim was the freed slave of an Ansar woman, just as the Prophet had adopted
Zaid as his son. It was the custom in the Pre-lslamic Period that if somebody
adopted a boy, the people would call him the son of the adoptive father and he
would be the latter's heir. But when Allah revealed the Divine Verses: 'Call
them by (the names of) their fathers . . . your freed-slaves,' (33.5) the adopted
persons were called by their fathers' names. The one whose father was not
known, would be regarded as a Maula and your brother in religion. Later on
Sahla bint Suhail bin 'Amr Al-Quraishi Al-'Amiri--and she was the wife of Abu-
Hudhaifa bin 'Utba--came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We
used to consider Salim as our (adopted) son, and now Allah has revealed what
you know (regarding adopted sons)." The sub-narrator then mentioned the
rest of the narration.
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle entered upon Dubaa bint Az-Zubair and said
to her, "Do you have a desire to perform the Hajj?" She replied,
"By Allah, I feel sick." He said to her, "Intend to perform Hajj
and stipulate something by saying, 'O Allah, I will finish my Ihram at any
place where You stop me (i.e. I am unable to go further)." She was the
wife of Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A woman is married for four things,
i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should
marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a losers.
Narrated Sahl:
A man passed by Allah's Apostle and Allah s Apostle asked
(his companions) "What do you say about this (man)?" They replied
"If he asks for a lady's hand, he ought to be given her in marriage; and
if he intercedes (for someone) his intercessor should be accepted; and if he
speaks, he should be listened to." Allah's Apostle kept silent, and then a
man from among the poor Muslims passed by, an Allah's Apostle asked (them)
"What do you say about this man?" They replied, "If he asks for
a lady's hand in marriage he does not deserve to be married, and he intercedes
(for someone), his intercession should not be accepted; And if he speaks, he
should not be listened to.' Allah's Apostle said, "This poor man is better
than so many of the first as filling the earth.'
Narrated 'Ursa:
that he asked 'Aisha regarding the Verse: 'If you fear that
you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans (4.3) She said, "O
my nephew! This Verse refers to the orphan girl who is under the guardianship
of her guardian who likes her beauty and wealth and wishes to (marry her and)
curtails her Mahr. Such guardians have been forbidden to marry them unless they
do justice by giving them their full Mahr, and they have been ordered to marry
other than them. The people asked for the verdict of Allah's Apostle after
that, so Allah revealed: 'They ask your instruction concerning the women . . .
whom you desire to marry.' (4.127) So Allah revealed to them that if the orphan
girl had beauty and wealth, they desired to marry her and for her family
status. They can only marry them if they give them their full Mahr. And if they
had no desire to marry them because of their lack of wealth and beauty, they
would leave them and marry other women. So, as they used to leave them, when
they had no interest, in them, they were forbidden to marry them when they had
such interest, unless they treated them justly and gave them their full Mahr
Apostle said, 'If at all there is evil omen, it is in the horse, the woman and
the house." a lady is to be warded off. And the Statement of Allah:
'Truly, among your wives and your children, there are enemies for you (i.e may
stop you from the obedience of Allah)' (64.14)
Narrated Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "Evil omen is in the women, the
house and the horse.'
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Evil omen was mentioned before the Prophet: The Prophet
said, "If there is evil omen in anything, it is in the house, the woman
and the horse."
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
Allah's Apostle said, "If at all there is bad omen, it
is in the horse, the woman, and the house."
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
The Prophet said, "After me I have not left any
affliction more harmful to men than women."
Narrated 'Aisha :
Three principles were established because of Barira: (i)
When Banra was manumitted she was given the option (to remain with her slave
husband or not). (ii) Allah's Apostle said "The Wala of the slave) is for the
one who manumits (the slave). (iii) When Allah's Apostle entered (the house),
he saw a cooking pot on the fire but he was given bread and meat soup from the
soup of the home. The Prophet said, "Didn't I see the cooking pot (on the
fire)?" It was said, "That is the meat given in charity to Barira,
and you do not eat the (things given in) charity." The Prophet said,
"It is an object of charity for Barira, and it is a present for us."
Narrated Aisha"
(regarding) the Verse: 'And if you fear that you shall not
be able to deal justly with the orphans...' (4.3) It is about the orphan girl
who is in the custody of a man who is her guardian, and he intends to marry her
because of her wealth, but he treats her badly and does not manage her property
fairly and honestly. Such a man should marry women of his liking other than
her, two or three or four. 'Prohibited to you (for marriage) are: ...your
foster-mothers (who suckled you).' (4.23) Marriage is prohibited between
persons having a foster suckling relationship corresponding to a blood
relationship which renders marriage unlawful.
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) that while Allah's Apostle was
with her, she heard a voice of a man asking permission to enter the house of
Hafsa. 'Aisha added: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! This man is asking
permission to enter your house." The Prophet said, "I think he is
so-and-so," naming the foster-uncle of Hafsa. 'Aisha said, "If
so-and-so," naming her foster uncle, "were living, could he enter
upon me?" The Prophet said, "Yes, for foster suckling relations make
all those things unlawful which are unlawful through corresponding birth
(blood) relations."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
It was said to the Prophet, "Won't you marry the
daughter of Hamza?" He said, "She is my foster niece (brother's
daughter). "
Narrated Um Habiba:
(daughter of Abu Sufyan) I said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Marry my sister. the daughter of Abu Sufyan." The Prophet said, "Do
you like that?" I replied, "Yes, for even now I am not your only wife
and I like that my sister should share the good with me." The Prophet
said, "But that is not lawful for me." I said, We have heard that you
want to marry the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "(You mean) the
daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if
she were not my step-daughter, she would be unlawful for me to marry as she is
my foster niece. I and Abu Salama were suckled by Thuwaiba. So you should not
present to me your daughters or your sisters (in marriage)." Narrated
'Ursa; Thuwaiba was the freed slave girl of Abu Lahb whom he had manumitted,
and then she suckled the Prophet. When Abu Lahb died, one of his relatives saw
him in a dream in a very bad state and asked him, "What have you
encountered?" Abu Lahb said, "I have not found any rest since I left
you, except that I have been given water to drink in this (the space between
his thumb and other fingers) and that is because of my manumitting
Thuwaiba."
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet entered upon her while a man was sitting
with her. Signs of anger seemed to appear on his face as if he disliked that.
She said, "Here is my (foster) brother." He said, "Be sure as to
who is your foster brother, for foster suckling relationship is established
only when milk is the only food of the child."
Narrated Aisha:
that Aflah the brother of Abu Al-Qu'ais, her foster uncle,
came, asking permission to enter upon her after the Verse of Al-Hijab (the use
of veils by women) was revealed. 'Aisha added: I did not allow him to enter,
but when Allah's Apostle came, I told him what I had done, and he ordered me to
give him permission.
Narrated 'Uqba bin Al-Harith:
I married a woman and then a black lady came to us and said,
"I have suckled you both (you and your wife)." So I came to the
Prophet and said, "I married so-and-so and then a black lady came to us
and said to me, 'I have suckled both of you.' But I think she is a liar."
The Prophet turned his face away from me and I moved to face his face, and
said, "She is a liar." The Prophet said, "How (can you keep her
as your wife) when that lady has said that she has suckled both of you? So
abandon (i.e., divorce) her (your wife)."
Narrated Um Habiba:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you like to have (my
sister) the daughter of Abu Sufyan?" The Prophet said, "What shall I
do (with her)?" I said, "Marry her." He said, "Do you like
that?" I said, "(Yes), for even now I am not your only wife, so I like
that my sister should share you with me." He said, "She is not lawful
for me (to marry)." I said, "We have heard that you want to
marry." He said, "The daughter of Um Salama?" I said,
"Yes." He said, "Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she
should be unlawful for me to marry, for Thuwaiba suckled me and her father (Abu
Salama). So you should neither present your daughters, nor your sisters, to
me."
Narrated Um Habiba:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Marry my sister, the
daughter of Abu Sufyan." He said, "Do you like that?" I said,
"Yes, for even now I am not your only wife; and the most beloved person to
share the good with me is my sister." The Prophet said, "But that is
not lawful for me (i.e., to be married to two sisters at a time.)" I said,
"O Allah's Apostle! By Allah, we have heard that you want to marry Durra,
the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "You mean the daughter of Um
Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "By Allah ! Even if she
were not my stepdaughter, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for she is
my foster niece, for Thuwaiba has suckled me and Abu Salama; so you should
neither present your daughters, nor your sisters to me."
Narrated Jabir:
Allah's Apostle forbade that a woman should be married to
man along with her paternal or maternal aunt.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "A woman and her paternal aunt
should not be married to the same man; and similarly, a woman and her maternal
aunt should not be married to the same man."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet forbade that a woman should be married to a man
along with her paternal aunt or with her maternal aunt (at the same time).
Az-Zuhri (the sub-narrator) said: There is a similar order for the paternal
aunt of the father of one's wife, for 'Ursa told me that 'Aisha said,
"What is unlawful because of blood relations, is also unlawful because of
the corresponding foster suckling relations."
Narrated Ibn 'Umar :
Allah's Apostle forbade Ash-Shighar, which means that
somebody marries his daughter to somebody else, and the latter marries his
daughter to the former without paying Mahr.
Narrated Hisham's father:
Khaula bint Hakim was one of those ladies who presented
themselves to the Prophet for marriage. 'Aisha said, "Doesn't a lady feel
ashamed for presenting herself to a man?" But when the Verse: "(O
Muhammad) You may postpone (the turn of) any of them (your wives) that you
please,' (33.51) was revealed, " 'Aisha said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I do not
see, but, that your Lord hurries in pleasing you.' "
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet got married while he was in the state of Ihram.
Narrated 'Ali:
I said to Ibn 'Abbas, "During the battle of Khaibar the
Prophet forbade (Nikah) Al-Mut'a and the eating of donkey's meat."
Narrated Abu Jamra:
I heard Ibn Abbas (giving a verdict) when he was asked about
the Mut'a with the women, and he permitted it (Nikah-al-Mut'a). On that a freed
slave of his said to him, "That is only when it is very badly needed and
women are scarce." On that, Ibn 'Abbas said, "Yes."
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah and Salama bin Al-Akwa':
While we were in an army, Allah's Apostle came to us and
said, "You have been allowed to do the Mut'a (marriage), so do it."
Salama bin Al-Akwa' said: Allah's Apostle's said, "If a man and a woman
agree (to marry temporarily), their marriage should last for three nights, and
if they like to continue, they can do so; and if they want to separate, they
can do so." I do not know whether that was only for us or for all the
people in general. Abu Abdullah (Al-Bukhari) said: 'Ali made it clear that the
Prophet said, "The Mut'a marriage has been cancelled (made
unlawful)."
Narrated Thabit Al-Banani:
I was with Anas while his daughter was present with him.
Anas said, "A woman came to Allah's Apostle and presented herself to him,
saying, 'O Allah's Apostle, have you any need for me (i.e. would you like to
marry me)?' "Thereupon Anas's daughter said, "What a shameless lady
she was ! Shame! Shame!" Anas said, "She was better than you; she had
a liking for the Prophet so she presented herself for marriage to him."
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
A woman presented herself to the Prophet (for marriage). A
man said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! (If you are not in need of her) marry
her to me." The Prophet said, "What have you got?" The man said,
"I have nothing." The Prophet said (to him), "Go and search for
something) even if it were an iron ring." The man went and returned
saying, "No, I have not found anything, not even an iron ring; but this is
my (Izar) waist sheet, and half of it is for her." He had no Rida' (upper
garment). The Prophet said, "What will she do with your waist sheet? If
you wear it, she will have nothing over her; and if she wears it, you will have
nothing over you." So the man sat down and when he had sat a long time, he
got up (to leave). When the Prophet saw him (leaving), he called him back, or the
man was called (for him), and he said to the man, "How much of the Quran
do you know (by heart)?" The man replied I know such Sura and such Sura
(by heart)," naming the Suras The Prophet said, "I have married her
to you for what you know of the Quran "
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar :
'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "When Hafsa bint 'Umar
became a widow after the death of (her husband) Khunais bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi
who had been one of the companions of the Prophet, and he died at Medina. I
went to 'Uthman bin 'Affan and presented Hafsa (for marriage) to him. He said,
"I will think it over.' I waited for a few days, then he met me and said,
'It seems that it is not possible for me to marry at present.' " 'Umar
further said, "I met Abu Bakr As-Siddique and said to him, 'If you wish, I
will marry my daughter Hafsa to you." Abu Bakr kept quiet and did not say
anything to me in reply. I became more angry with him than with 'Uthman. I
waited for a few days and then Allah's Apostle asked for her hand, and I gave
her in marriage to him. Afterwards I met Abu Bakr who said, 'Perhaps you became
angry with me when you presented Hafsa to me and I did not give you a reply?' I
said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing stopped me to respond to your offer except
that I knew that Allah's Apostle had mentioned her, and I never wanted to let
out the secret of Allah's Apostle. And if Allah's Apostle had refused her, I
would have accepted her.' "
Narrated Zainab bint Salama:
Um Habiba said to Allah's Apostle "We have heard that
you want to marry Durra bint Abu-Salama." Allah's Apostle said, "Can
she be married along with Um Salama (her mother)? Even if I have not married Um
Salama, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for her father is my foster
brother." 'And there is no blame on you if you make hint of betrothal or
conceal it in your hearts. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.' (2.235)
Ibn 'Abbas said, "Hint your intention of marrying' is made by saying (to
the widow) for example: "I want to marry, and I wish that Allah will make
a righteous lady available for me.' " Al-Qasim said: One may say to the
widow: 'I hold all respect for you, and I am interested in you; Allah will
bring you much good, or something similar 'Ata said: One should hint his
intention, and should not declare it openly. One may say: 'I have some need.
Have good tidings. Praise be to Allah; you are fit to remarry.' She (the widow)
may say in reply: I am listening to what you say,' but she should not make a
promise. Her guardian should not make a promise (to somebody to get her married
to him) without her knowledge. But if, while still in the Iddat period, she
makes a promise to marry somebody, and he ultimately marries her, they are not
to be separated by divorce (i.e., the marriage is valid).
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said (to me), "You were shown to me in
a dream. An angel brought you to me, wrapped in a piece of silken cloth, and
said to me, 'This is your wife.' I removed the piece of cloth from your face,
and there you were. I said to myself. 'If it is from Allah, then it will surely
be.' "
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
A woman came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have come to you to present myself to you (for marriage)."
Allah's Apostle glanced at her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance
on her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say
anything, she sat down. A man from his companions got up and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The
Prophet said, "Have you got anything to offer." The man said, 'No, by
Allah, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said (to him), "Go to your
family and try to find something." So the man went and returned, saying,
"No, by Allah, O Allah's Apostle! I have not found anything." The
Prophet said, "Go again and look for something, even if it were an iron
ring." He went and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, O Allah's
Apostle! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (waist sheet).'
He had no Rida (upper garment). He added, "I give half of it to her."
Allah's Apostle said "What will she do with your Izar? If you wear it, she
will have nothing over herself thereof (will be naked); and if she wears it,
then you will have nothing over yourself thereof ' So the man sat for a long
period and then got up (to leave). When Allah's Apostle saw him leaving, he
ordered that he e called back. When he came, the Prophet asked (him), "How
much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?" The man replied, I know such
Sura and such Sura and such Sura," naming the suras. The Prophet said,
"Can you recite it by heart?" He said, 'Yes." The Prophet said,
"Go I let you marry her for what you know of the Quran (as her Mahr).
Narrated 'Aisha:
(as regards the Verse): 'And about what is recited unto you
in the Book, concerning orphan girls to whom you give not the prescribed
portions and yet, whom you desire to marry.' (4.127) This Verse is about the
female orphan who is under the guardianship of a man with whom she shares her
property and he has more right over her (than anybody else) but does not like
to marry her, so he prevents her, from marrying somebody else, lest he should
share the property with him.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
When Hafsa, 'Umar's daughter became a widow because of the
death of her (husband) Ibn Hudhafa As-Sahmi who was one of the companion of the
Prophet and the one of the Badr warriors and died at Medina, 'Umar said,
"I met 'Uthman bin 'Affan and gave him an offer, saying, 'If you wish, I
will marry Hafsa to you.' He said. 'I will think it over' I waited for a few
days, then he met me and said, 'I have made up my mind not to marry at present'
"Umar added, "Then I met Abu Bakr and said to him, 'If you wish, I
will marry Hafsa to you.' "
Narrated Al-Hasan:
concerning the Verse: 'Do not prevent them' (2.232) Ma'qil
bin Yasar told me that it was revealed in his connection. He said, "I
married my sister to a man and he divorced her, and when her days of 'Idda
(three menstrual periods) were over, the man came again and asked for her hand,
but I said to him, 'I married her to you and made her your bed (your wife) and
favored you with her, but you divorced her. Now you come to ask for her hand
again? No, by Allah, she will never go back to you (again)!' That man was not a
bad man and his wife wanted to go back to him. So Allah revealed this Verse:
'Do not prevent them.' (2.232) So I said, 'Now I will do it (let her go back to
him), O Allah's Apostle."So he married her to him again.
Narrated 'Aisha:
(regarding His Statement): 'They ask your instruction
concerning the women. Say: Allah instructs you about them ...' (4.127) It is
about the female orphan who is under the guardianship of a man with whom she
shares her property and he does not want to marry her and dislikes that someone
else should marry her, lest he should share the property with him, so he
prevents her from marrying. So Allah forbade such a guardian to do so (i.e. to
prevent her from marrying).
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
While we were sitting in the company of the Prophet a woman
came to him and presented herself (for marriage) to him. The Prophet looked at
her, lowering his eyes and raising them, but did not give a reply. One of his
companions said, "Marry her to me O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet
asked (him), "Have you got anything?" He said, "I have got
nothing." The Prophet said, "Not even an iron ring?" He Sad,
"Not even an iron ring, but I will tear my garment into two halves and
give her one half and keep the other half." The Prophet; said, "No.
Do you know some of the Quran (by heart)?" He said, "Yes." The
Prophet said, "Go, I have agreed to marry her to you with what you know of
the Qur'an (as her Mahr)." 'And for those who have no courses (i.e. they
are still immature). (65.4) And the 'Iddat for the girl before puberty is three
months (in the above Verse).
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and
he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained
with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and

his death)." what you know of the Quran (by heart)'
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
A woman came to Allah's Apostle and said, "I present
myself (to you) (for marriage). She stayed for a long while, then a man said,
"If you are not in need of her then marry her to me." The Prophet
said, "Have you got anything m order to pay her Mahr?" He said,
"I have nothing with me except my Izar (waist sheet)." The Prophet
said, "If you give her your Izar, you will have no Izar to wear, (so go)
and search for something. He said, "I could not find anything." The
Prophet said, "Try (to find something), even if it were an iron ring But
he was not able to find (even that) The Prophet said (to him). "Do you
memorize something of the Qur'an?" "Yes. ' he said, "such Sura

her to you for what you know of the Quran (by heart)."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A matron should not be given in
marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin should not be given in
marriage except after her permission." The people asked, "O Allah's
Apostle! How can we know her permission?" He said, "Her silence
(indicates her permission)."
Narrated 'Aisha:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! A virgin feels shy."
He said, "Her consent is (expressed by) her silence."
Narrated Khansa bint Khidam Al-Ansariya:
that her father gave her in marriage when she was a matron and
she disliked that marriage. So she went to Allah's Apostle and he declared that
marriage invalid.
Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid and Majammi bin Yazid.
the same ,Hadith above: A man called Khidam married a
daughter of his (to somebody) against her consent. 'If you fear that you shall
not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of
your choice.' (4.3) And if somebody says to the guardian (of a woman),
"Marry me to so-and-so," and the guardian remained silent or said to
him, "What have you got?" And the other said, "I have so much
and so much (Mahr)," or kept quiet, and then the guardian said, "I
have married her to you," then the marriage is valid (legal). This
narration was told by Sahl on the authority of the Prophet
Narrated 'Ursa bin Az-Zubair:
that he asked 'Aisha, saying to her, "O Mother! (In
what connection was this Verse revealed):
'If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with
orphan girls (to the end of the verse) that your right hands possess?"
(4.3) Aisha said, "O my nephew! It was about the female orphan under the
protection of her guardian who was interested in her beauty and wealth and
wanted to marry her with a little or reduced Mahr. So such guardians were
forbidden to marry female orphans unless they deal with them justly and give
their full Mahr; and they were ordered to marry women other than
them."'Aisha added, "(Later) the people asked Allah's Apostle, for
instructions, and then Allah revealed: 'They ask your instruction concerning
the women . . . And yet whom you desire to marry.' (4.127) So Allah revealed to
them in this Verse that-if a female orphan had wealth and beauty, they desired
to marry her and were interested in her noble descent and the reduction of her
Mahr; but if she was not desired by them because of her lack in fortune and
beauty they left her and married some other woman. So, as they used to leave
her when they had no interest in her, they had no right to marry her if they
had the desire to do so, unless they deal justly with her and gave her a full
amount of Mahr."
Narrated Sahl:
A woman came to the Prophet,, and presented herself to him
(for marriage). He said, "I am not in need of women these days." Then
a man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Marry her to me." The Prophet asked
him, "What have you got?" He said, "I have got nothing."
The Prophet said, "Give her something, even an iron ring." He said,
"I have got nothing." The Prophet asked (him), "How much of the
Quran do you know (by heart)?" He said, "So much and so much."
The Prophet said, "I have married her to you for what you know of the
Quran."
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet decreed that one should not try to cancel a
bargain already agreed upon between some other persons (by offering a bigger
price). And a man should not ask for the hand of a girl who is already engaged
to his Muslim brother, unless the first suitor gives her up, or allows him to
ask for her hand.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Beware of suspicion (about others),
as suspicion is the falsest talk, and do not spy upon each other, and do not
listen to the evil talk of the people about others' affairs, and do not have
enmity with one another, but be brothers. And none should ask for the hand of a
girl who is already engaged to his (Muslim) brother, but one should wait till
the first suitor marries her or leaves her."
Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:
"When Hafsa became a widow," Umar said, "I
met Abu Bakr and said to him, 'If you wish I will marry Hafsa bint 'Umar to
you.' I waited for a few days then Allah's Apostle asked for her hand. Later
Abu Bakr met me and said, 'Nothing stopped me from returning to you concerning
your offer except that I knew that Allah's Apostle had mentioned (his wish to
marry) her, and I could never let out the secret of Allah's Apostle . If he had
left her, I would have accepted her.' "
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Two men came from the east and delivered speeches, and the
Prophet said, "Some eloquent speech has the in fluency of magic (e.g.,

of my marriage, the Prophet came and sat on my bed as far from me as you are
sitting now, and our little girls started beating the tambourines and reciting
elegiac verses mourning my father who had been killed in the battle of Badr.

Allah's Apostle! She has given herself (in marriage) to you; so please give
your opinion of her. The Prophet did not give her any reply. She again stood up
for the third time and said, "She has given herself in marriage to you: so
give your opinion of her." So a man stood up and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Marry her to me." The Prophet asked him, "Have you got
anything?" He said, "No." The Prophet said, "Go and search
for something, even if it were an iron ring." The man went and searched
and then returned saying, "I could not find anything, not even an iron
ring." Then the Prophet said, "Do you know something of the Quran (by
heart)?" He replied, "I know (by heart) such Sura and such
Sura." The Prophet said, "Go! I have married her to you for what you
know of the Quran (by heart)."

marriage to Zainab, and provided a good meal for the Muslims. Then he went out
as was his custom on marrying, he came to the dwelling places of the mothers of
the Believers (i.e. his wives) invoking good (on them), and they were invoking
good (on him). Then he departed (and came back) and saw two men (still sitting
there). So he left again. I do not remember whether I informed him or he was
informed (by somebody else) of their departure)."
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet saw the traces of Sufra (yellow perfume) on
Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and said, "What is this?" 'Abdur-Rahman, said,

and Medina, and there he consummated his marriage with Safiyya bint Huyay. I
invited the Muslims to a banquet which included neither meat nor bread. The
Prophet ordered for the leather dining sheets to be spread, and then dates,
dried yogurt and butter were provided over it, and that was the Walima
(banquet) of the Prophet. The Muslims asked whether Safiyya would be considered
as his wife or as a slave girl of what his right hands possessed. Then they
said, "If the Prophet screens her from the people, then she Is the
Prophet's wife but if he does not screen her, then she is a slave girl."
So when the Prophet proceeded, he made a place for her (on the camel) behind
him and screened her from people.

"Whenever the Prophet passed by (my mother Um-Sulaim)
he used to enter her and greet her. Anas further said: Once the Prophet way a
bridegroom during his marriage with Zainab, Um Sulaim said to me, "Let us
give a gift to Allah's Apostle ." I said to her, "Do it." So she
prepared Haisa (a sweet dish) made from dates, butter and dried yoghurt and she
sent it with me to him. I took it to him and he said, "Put it down,"
and ordered me to call some men whom he named, and to invite whomever I would
meet. I did what he ordered me to do, and when I returned, I found the house
crowded with people and saw the Prophet keeping his hand over the Haisa and
saying over it whatever Allah wished (him to say). Then he called the men in
batches of ten to eat of it, and he said to them, "Mention the Name of
Allah, and each man should eat of the dish the nearest to him." When all
of them had finished their meals, some of them left and a few remained there
talking, over which I felt unhappy. Then the Prophet went out towards the
dwelling places (of his wives) and I too, went out after him and told him that
those people had left. Then he returned and entered his dwelling place and let
the curtains fall while I was in (his) dwelling place, and he was reciting the
Verses:-- 'O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's house until leave is given
you for a meal, (and then) not (as early as) to what for its preparation. But
when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken your meals, disperse
without sitting for a talk. Verily such (behavior) annoys the Prophet; and he
would be shy of (asking) you (to go), but Allah is not shy of (telling you) the
Truth.' (33-53) Abu Uthman said: Anas said, "I served the Prophet for ten
years."
Narrated 'Aisha:
that she borrowed a necklace from Asma' and then it got
lost. So Allah's Apostle

prayer without ablution. When they came to the Prophet, they complained about
it to him, so the Verse regarding Tayammum was revealed .

with a good reward, for by Allah, never did a difficulty happen in connection
with you, but Allah made an escape from it for you, and brought Allah's
Blessings for the Muslims."
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet said, "If anyone of you, when having sexual
intercourse with his wife, says: Bismillah, Allahumma jannibni-Sh-Shaitan wa
jannib-ish-Shaitan ma razaqtana, and if it is destined that they should have a
child, then Satan will never be able to harm him."
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
I was ten years old when Allah's Apostle arrived at Medina.
My mother and aunts used to urge me to serve the Prophet regularly, and I
served him for ten years. When the Prophet died I was twenty years old, and I
knew about the order of Al-Hijab (veiling of ladies) more than any other person
when it was revealed. It was revealed for the first time when Allah's Apostle
had consummated his marriage with Zainab bint Jahsh. When the day dawned, the
Prophet was a bridegroom and he invited the people to a banquet, so they came,
ate, and then all left except a few who remained with the Prophet for a long
time. The Prophet got up and went out, and I too went out with him so that
those people might leave too. The Prophet proceeded and so did I, till he came
to the threshold of 'Aisha's dwelling place. Then thinking that these people
have left by then, he returned and so did I along with him till he entered upon
Zainab and behold, they were still sitting and had not gone. So the Prophet
again went away and I went away along with him. When we reached the threshold
of 'Aisha's dwelling place, he thought that they had left, and so he returned
and I too, returned along with him and found those people had left. Then the
Prophet drew a curtain between me and him, and the Verses of Al-Hijab were
revealed.
Narrated Anas:
When 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf married an Ansari woman, the
Prophet asked him, "How much Mahr did you give her?" 'Abdur-Rahman
said, "Gold equal to the weight of a date stone." Anas added: When
they (i.e. the Prophet and his companions) arrived at Medina, the emigrants
stayed at the Ansar's houses. 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf stayed at Sad bin
Ar-Rabi's house. Sad said to 'Abdur-Rahman, "I will divide and share my
property with you and will give one of my two wives to you." 'Abdur-Rahman
said, "May Allah bless you, your wives and property (I am not in need of
that; but kindly show me the way to the market)." So 'Abdur-Rahman went to
the market and traded there gaining a profit of some dried yoghurt and butter,
and married (an Ansari woman). The Prophet said to him, "Give a banquet, even
if with one sheep."

Allah bestow His Mercy upon you), if he says 'Al-hamdulillah' (Praise be to
Allah), to help others to fulfill their oaths, to help the oppressed, to greet
(whomever one should meet), and to accept the invitation (to a wedding
banquet). He forbade us to wear golden rings, to use silver utensils, to use
Mayathir (cushions of silk stuffed with cotton and placed under the rider on

Egyptian town), the Istibraq (thick silk) and the Dibaj (another kind of silk).

(the wife of the Prophet) I bought a cushion having on it
pictures (of animals). When Allah's Apostle saw it, he stood at the door and
did not enter. I noticed the sign of disapproval on his face and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I repent to Allah and His Apostle. What sin have I committed?'
Allah's Apostle said. "What is this cushion?" I said, "I have
bought it for you so that you may sit on it and recline on it." Allah's
Apostle said, "The makers of these pictures will be punished on the Day of
Resurrection, and it will be said to them, 'Give life to what you have created
(i.e., these pictures).' " The Prophet added, "The Angels of (Mercy)
do not enter a house in which there are pictures (of animals)."

The Prophet said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the
Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbor. And I advise you to take care
of the women, for they are created from a rib and the most crooked portion of
the rib is its upper part; if you try to straighten it, it will break, and if
you leave it, it will remain crooked, so I urge you to take care of the
women."
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

leisurely and freely with our wives lest some Divine inspiration might be
revealed concerning us. But when the Prophet had died, we started chatting
leisurely and freely (with them).
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
The Prophet said, "Everyone of you is a guardian and
everyone of you is responsible (for his wards). A ruler is a guardian and is
responsible(for his subjects); a man is a guardian of his family and
responsible (for them); a wife is a guardian of her husband's house and she is
responsible (for it), a slave is a guardian of his master's property and is

(for your wards)."

that they would not conceal anything of the news of their husbands. The first
one said, "My husband is like the meat of a lean weak camel which is kept
on the top of a mountain which is neither easy to climb, nor is the meat fat,
so that one might put up with the trouble of fetching it." The second one
said, "I shall not relate my husband's news, for I fear that I may not be
able to finish his story, for if I describe him, I will mention all his defects
and bad traits." The third one said, "My husband is a tall man; if I
describe him (and he hears of that) he will divorce me, and if I keep quiet, he
will neither divorce me nor treat me as a wife." The fourth one said,
"My husband is a moderate person like the night of Tihama which is neither
hot nor cold. I am neither afraid of him, nor am I discontented with him."
The fifth one said, "My husband, when entering (the house) is a leopard,
and when going out, is a lion. He does not ask about whatever is in the
house." The sixth one said, "If my husband eats. he eats too much
(leaving the dishes empty), and if he drinks he leaves nothing, and if he
sleeps he sleeps alone (away from me) covered in garments and does not stretch
his hands here and there so as to know how I fare (get along)." The seventh
one said, "My husband is a wrong-doer or weak and foolish. All the defects
are present in him. He may injure your head or your body or may do both."
The eighth one said, "My husband is soft to touch like a rabbit and smells
like a Zarnab (a kind of good smelling grass)." The ninth one said,
"My husband is a tall generous man wearing a long strap for carrying his
sword. His ashes are abundant and his house is near to the people who would
easily consult him." The tenth one said, "My husband is Malik, and what
is Malik? Malik is greater than whatever I say about him. (He is beyond and
above all praises which can come to my mind). Most of his camels are kept at
home (ready to be slaughtered for the guests) and only a few are taken to the
pastures. When the camels hear the sound of the lute (or the tambourine) they
realize that they are going to be slaughtered for the guests." The
eleventh one said, "My husband is Abu Zar and what is Abu Zar (i.e., what
should I say about him)? He has given me many ornaments and my ears are heavily
loaded with them and my arms have become fat (i.e., I have become fat). And he
has pleased me, and I have become so happy that I feel proud of myself. He
found me with my family who were mere owners of sheep and living in poverty, and
brought me to a respected family having horses and camels and threshing and
purifying grain . Whatever I say, he does not rebuke or insult me. When I
sleep, I sleep till late in the morning, and when I drink water (or milk), I
drink my fill. The mother of Abu Zar and what may one say in praise of the
mother of Abu Zar? Her saddle bags were always full of provision and her house
was spacious. As for the son of Abu Zar, what may one say of the son of Abu
Zar? His bed is as narrow as an unsheathed sword and an arm of a kid (of four
months) satisfies his hunger. As for the daughter of Abu Zar, she is obedient
to her father and to her mother. She has a fat well-built body and that arouses
the jealousy of her husband's other wife. As for the (maid) slave girl of Abu
Zar, what may one say of the (maid) slavegirl of Abu Zar? She does not uncover
our secrets but keeps them, and does not waste our provisions and does not
leave the rubbish scattered everywhere in our house." The eleventh lady
added, "One day it so happened that Abu Zar went out at the time when the
milk was being milked from the animals, and he saw a woman who had two sons
like two leopards playing with her two breasts. (On seeing her) he divorced me
and married her. Thereafter I married a noble man who used to ride a fast
tireless horse and keep a spear in his hand. He gave me many things, and also a
pair of every kind of livestock and said, 'Eat (of this), O Um Zar, and give
provision to your relatives." She added, "Yet, all those things which
my second husband gave me could not fill the smallest utensil of Abu
Zar's." 'Aisha then said: Allah's Apostle said to me, "I am to you as
Abu Zar was to his wife Um Zar."
Narrated 'Ursa:
Aisha said, "While the Ethiopians were playing with
their small spears, Allah's Apostle screened me behind him and I watched (that
display) and kept on watching till I left on my own." So you may estimate
of what age a little girl may listen to amusement.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas :
I had been eager to ask 'Umar bin Al-Khattab about the two
ladies from among the wives of the Prophet regarding whom Allah said 'If you
two (wives of the Prophet namely Aisha and Hafsa) turn in repentance to Allah,
your hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet likes). (66.4)
till 'Umar performed the Hajj and I too, performed the Hajj along with him. (On
the way) 'Umar went aside to answer the call of nature, and I also went aside
along with him carrying a tumbler full of water, and when 'Umar had finished
answering the call of nature, I poured water over his hands and he performed
the ablution. Then I said to him, "O chief of the Believers! Who were the
two ladies from among the wives of the Prophet regarding whom Allah said: 'If
you two (wives of the Prophet) turn in repentance to Allah your hearts are
indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet likes)?" (66.4) He said,
"I am astonished at your question, O Ibn Abbas. They were 'Aisha and
Hafsa." Then 'Umar went on narrating the Hadith and said, "I and an
Ansari neighbor of mine from Bani Umaiyya bin Zaid who used to live in
Awali-al-Medina, used to visit the Prophet in turn. He used to go one day and I
another day. When I went, I would bring him the news of what had happened that
day regarding the Divine Inspiration and other things, and when he went, he
used to do the same for me. We, the people of Quraish used to have the upper
hand over our wives, but when we came to the Ansar, we found that their women
had the upper hand over their men, so our women also started learning the ways
of the Ansari women. I shouted at my wife and she retorted against me and I
disliked that she should answer me back. She said to me, 'Why are you so
surprised at my answering you back? By Allah, the wives of the Prophet answer
him back and some of them may leave (does not speak to) him throughout the day
till the night.' The (talk) scared me and I said to her, 'Whoever has done so
will be ruined!' Then I proceeded after dressing myself, and entered upon Hafsa
and said to her, 'Does anyone of you keep the Prophet angry till night?' She
said, 'Yes.' I said, 'You are a ruined losing person! Don't you fear that Allah
may get angry for the anger of Allah's Apostle and thus you will be ruined? So
do not ask more from the Prophet and do not answer him back and do not give up
talking to him. Ask me whatever you need and do not be tempted to imitate your
neighbor (i.e., 'Aisha) in her manners for she is more charming than you and
more beloved to the Prophet ." Umar added,"At that time a talk was
circulating among us that (the tribe of) Ghassan were preparing their horses to
invade us. My Ansari companion, on the day of his turn, went (to the town) and
returned to us at night and knocked at my door violently and asked if I was
there. I became horrified and came out to him. He said, 'Today a great thing
has happened.' I asked, 'What is it? Have (the people of) Ghassan come?' He
said, 'No, but (What has happened) is greater and more horrifying than that:
Allah's Apostle; has divorced his wives. 'Umar added, "The Prophet kept
away from his wives and I said "Hafsa is a ruined loser.' I had already
thought that most probably this (divorce) would happen in the near future. So I
dressed myself and offered the morning prayer with the Prophet and then the
Prophet; entered an upper room and stayed there in seclusion. I entered upon
Hafsa and saw her weeping. I asked, 'What makes you weep? Did I not warn you
about that? Did the Prophet divorce you all?' She said, 'I do not know. There
he is retired alone in the upper room.' I came out and sat near the pulpit and
saw a group of people sitting around it and some of them were weeping. I sat
with them for a while but could not endure the situation, so I went to the
upper room where the Prophet; was and said to a black slave of his, 'Will you
get the permission (of the Prophet ) for 'Umar (to enter)?' The slave went in,
talked to the Prophet about it and then returned saying, 'I have spoken to the
Prophet and mentioned you but he kept quiet.' Then I returned and sat with the
group of people sitting near the pulpit. but I could not bear the situation and
once again I said to the slave, 'Will you get the permission for 'Umar?' He
went in and returned saying, 'I mentioned you to him but he kept quiet.' So I
returned again and sat with the group of people sitting near the pulpit, but I
could not bear the situation, and so I went to the slave and said, 'Will you
get the permission for 'Umar?' He went in and returned to me saying, 'I mentioned
you to him but he kept quiet.' When I was leaving, behold! The slave called me,
saying, 'The Prophet has given you permission.' Then I entered upon Allah's
Apostle and saw him Lying on a bed made of stalks of date palm leaves and there
was no bedding between it and him. The stalks left marks on his side and he was
leaning on a leather pillow stuffed with date-palm fires. I greeted him and
while still standing I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have you divorced your wives?'
He looked at me and said, 'No.' I said, 'Allah Akbar!' And then, while still
standing, I said chatting, 'Will you heed what I say, O Allah's Apostle? We,
the people of Quraish used to have power over our women, but when we arrived at
Medina we found that the men (here) were overpowered by their women.' The
Prophet smiled and then I said to him, 'Will you heed what I say, O Allah's
Apostle? I entered upon Hafsa and said to her, "Do not be tempted to
imitate your companion ('Aisha), for she is more charming than you and more
beloved to the Prophet.' " The Prophet smiled for a second time. When I
saw him smiling, I sat down. Then I looked around his house, and by Allah, I
could not see anything of importance in his house except three hides, so I
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah to make your followers rich, for the
Persians and the Romans have been made prosperous and they have been given (the
pleasures of the world), although they do not worship Allah.' Thereupon the
Prophet sat up as he was reclining. and said, 'Are you of such an opinion, O
the son of Al-Khattab? These are the people who have received the rewards for
their good deeds in this world.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Ask Allah to
forgive me.' Then the Prophet kept away from his wives for twenty-nine days
because of the story which Hafsa had disclosed to 'Aisha. The Prophet had said,
'I will not enter upon them (my wives) for one month,' because of his anger
towards them, when Allah had admonished him. So, when twenty nine days had
passed, the Prophet first entered upon 'Aisha. 'Aisha said to him, 'O Allah's
Apostle! You had sworn that you would not enter upon us for one month, but now
only twenty-nine days have passed, for I have been counting them one by one.'
The Prophet said, 'The (present) month is of twenty nine days.' 'Aisha added,
'Then Allah revealed the Verses of the option. (2) And out of all his-wives he
asked me first, and I chose him.' Then he gave option to his other wives and
they said what 'Aisha had said . " (1) The Prophet, ' had decided to
abstain from eating a certain kind of food because of a certain event, so Allah
blamed him for doing so. Some of his wives were the cause of him taking that
decision, therefore he deserted them for one month. See Quran: (66.4)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A woman should not fast (optional
fasts) except with her husband's permission if he is at home (staying with
her)."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If a man Invites his wife to sleep
with him and she refuses to come to him, then the angels send their curses on
her till morning."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If a woman spends the night
deserting her husband's bed (does not sleep with him), then the angels send
their curses on her till she comes back (to her husband)."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "It is not lawful for a lady to
fast (Nawafil) without the permission of her husband when he is at home; and
she should not allow anyone to enter his house except with his permission; and
if she spends of his wealth (on charitable purposes) without being ordered by
him, he will get half of the reward."
Narrated Usama:
The Prophet said, "I stood at the gate of Paradise and
saw that the majority of the people who entered it were the poor, while the
wealthy were stopped at the gate (for the accounts). But the companions of the
Fire were ordered to be taken to the Fire. Then I stood at the gate of the Fire
and saw that the majority of those who entered it were women."
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abbas:
During the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, the sun eclipsed.
Allah's Apostle offered the prayer of (the) eclipse) and so did the people
along with him. He performed a long Qiyam (standing posture) during which
Surat-al-Baqara could have been recited; then he performed a pro-longed bowing,
then raised his head and stood for a long time which was slightly less than
that of the first Qiyam (and recited Qur'an). Then he performed a prolonged
bowing again but the period was shorter than the period of the first bowing,
then he stood up and then prostrated. Again he stood up, but this time the
period of standing was less than the first standing. Then he performed a
prolonged bowing but of a lesser duration than the first, then he stood up
again for a long time but for a lesser duration than the first. Then he
performed a prolonged bowing but of lesser duration than the first, and then he
again stood up, and then prostrated and then finished his prayer. By then the
sun eclipse had cleared. The Prophet then said, "The sun and the moon are
two signs among the signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse because of the
death or birth of someone, so when you observe the eclipse, remember Allah
(offer the eclipse prayer)." They (the people) said, "O Allah's
Apostle! We saw you stretching your hand to take something at this place of
yours, then we saw you stepping backward." He said, "I saw Paradise
(or Paradise was shown to me), and I stretched my hand to pluck a bunch (of
grapes), and had I plucked it, you would have eaten of it as long as this world
exists. Then I saw the (Hell) Fire, and I have never before, seen such a
horrible sight as that, and I saw that the majority of its dwellers were
women." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the reason for
that?" He replied, "Because of their ungratefulness." It was said.
"Do they disbelieve in Allah (are they ungrateful to Allah)?" He
replied, "They are not thankful to their husbands and are ungrateful for
the favors done to them. Even if you do good to one of them all your life, when
she seems some harshness from you, she will say, "I have never seen any
good from you.' "
Narrated Imran:
The Prophet said, "I looked at Paradise and saw that
the majority of its residents were the poor; and I looked at the (Hell) Fire
and saw that the majority of its residents were women."
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As:
Allah's Apostle said, "O 'Abdullah! Have I not been
formed that you fast all the day and stand in prayer all night?" I said,
"Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Do not do that! Observe the
fast sometimes and also leave them (the fast) at other times; stand up for the
prayer at night and also sleep at night. Your body has a right over you, your
eyes have a right over you and your wife has a right over you."
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet said, "All of you are guardians and are
responsible for your wards. The ruler is a guardian and the man is a guardian
of his family; the lady is a guardian and is responsible for her husband's
house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible
for your wards."
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle took an oath that he would not visit his
wives for one month, and he sat in an upper room belonging to him. Then, on the
twenty ninth day he came down. It was said, "O Allah's Apostle! You had
taken an oath not to visit your wives for one month." He said, "The
(present) month is of twenty-nine days."
Narrated Um Salama:
The Prophet took an oath that he would not enter upon some
of his wives for one month. But when twenty nine days had elapsed, he went to
them in the morning or evening. It was said to him, "O Allah's Prophet!
You had taken an oath that you would not enter upon them for one month."
He replied, "The month can be of twenty nine days."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
One morning we saw the wives of the Prophet weeping, and
everyone of them had her family with her, I went to the mosque and found that
it was crowded with people. Then 'Umar bin Al-Khattab came and went up to the
Prophet who was in his upper room. He greeted him but nobody answered. He
greeted again, but nobody answered. Then the gatekeeper called him and he
entered upon the Prophet, and asked, "Have you divorced your wives?"
The Prophet, said, "No, but I have taken an oath not to go to them for one
month." So the Prophet stayed away (from his wives) for twenty nine days
and then entered upon them.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Zam'a:
The Prophet said, "None of you should flog his wife as
he flogs a slave and then have sexual intercourse with her in the last part of
the day."
Narrated 'Aisha:
An Ansari woman gave her daughter in marriage and the hair
of the latter started falling out. The Ansari women came to the Prophet and
mentioned that to him and said, "Her (my daughter's) husband suggested
that I should let her wear false hair." The Prophet said, "No, (don't
do that) for Allah sends His curses upon such ladies who lengthen their hair
artificially."
Narrated Aisha:
regarding the Verse: 'If a wife fears cruelty or desertion
on her husband's part ...') (4.128) It concerns the woman whose husband does
not want to keep her with him any longer, but wants to divorce her and marry
some other lady, so she says to him: 'Keep me and do not divorce me, and then
marry another woman, and you may neither spend on me, nor sleep with me.' This
is indicated by the Statement of Allah: 'There is no blame on them if they
arrange an amicable settlement between them both, and (such) settlement is
better." (4.128)
Narrated Jabir:
We used to practice coitus interrupt us during the lifetime
of Allah's Apostle .
Narrated Jabir:
We used to practice coitus interrupt us while the Quran was
being revealed. Jabir added: We used to practice coitus interrupt us during the
lifetime of Allah's Apostle while the Quran was being Revealed.
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
We got female captives in the war booty and we used to do
coitus interruptus with them. So we asked Allah's Apostle about it and he said,
"Do you really do that?" repeating the question thrice, "There
is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into existence, till the Day
of Resurrection."
Narrated al-Qasim:
Aisha said that whenever the Prophet intended to go on a
journey, he drew lots among his wives (so as to take one of them along with
him). During one of his journeys the lot fell on 'Aisha and Hafsa. When night
fell the Prophet would ride beside 'Aisha and talk with her. One night Hafsa said
to 'Aisha, "Won't you ride my camel tonight and I ride yours, so that you
may see (me) and I see (you) (in new situation)?" 'Aisha said, "Yes,
(I agree.)" So 'Aisha rode, and then the Prophet came towards 'Aisha's
camel on which Hafsa was riding. He greeted Hafsa and then proceeded (beside
her) till they dismounted (on the way). 'Aisha missed him, and so, when they
dismounted, she put her legs in the Idhkhir and said, "O Lord (Allah)!
Send a scorpion or a snake to bite me for I am not to blame him (the Prophet ).
Narrated 'Aisha:
Sada bint Zam'a gave up her turn to me ('Aisha), and so the
Prophet used to give me ('Aisha) both my day and the day of Sad;
Narrated Anas:
The tradition, (of the Prophet) is that if someone marries a
virgin and he has already a matron wife (with him), then he should stay with
the virgin for seven days; and if someone marries a matron (and he has already
a virgin wife with him) then he should stay with her for three days.
Narrated Anas:
It is the Prophet's tradition that if someone marries a
virgin and he has already a matron wife then he should stay for seven days with
her (the virgin) and then by turns; and if someone marries a matron and he has
already a virgin wife then he should stay with her (the matron) for three days,
and then by turns.
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet used to pass by (have sexual relation with) all
his wives in one night, and at that time he had nine wives.
Narrated 'Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle finished his 'Asr prayer, he would
enter upon his wives and stay with one of them. One day he went to Hafsa and stayed
with her longer than usual.
Narrated 'Aisha:
that during his fatal ailment, Allah's Apostle, used to ask
his wives, "Where shall I stay tomorrow? Where shall I stay
tomorrow?" He was looking forward to Aisha's turn. So all his wives
allowed him to stay where he wished, and he stayed at 'Aisha's house till he
died there. 'Aisha added: He died on the day of my usual turn at my house.
Allah took him unto Him while his head was between my chest and my neck and his
saliva was mixed with my saliva.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
that 'Umar entered upon Hafsa and said, "O my daughter!
Do not be misled by the manners of her who is proud of her beauty because of
the love of Allah's Apostle for her." By 'her' he meant 'Aisha. 'Umar
added, "Then I told that to Allah's Apostle and he smiled (on hearing
that)."
Narrated Asma:
Some lady said, "O Allah's Apostle! My husband has
another wife, so it is sinful of me to claim that he has given me what he has
not given me (in order to tease her)?" Allah's Apostle said, The one who
pretends that he has been given what he has not been given, is just like the
(false) one who wears two garments of falsehood."
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Masud:
The Prophet, said, "There is none having a greater
sense of Ghira than Allah. And for that He has forbidden the doing of evil
actions (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) There is none who likes to be praised
more than Allah does."
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "O followers of Muhammad! There
is none, who has a greater sense of Ghira (self-respect) than Allah, so He has
forbidden that His slave commits illegal sexual intercourse or His slave girl
commits illegal sexual intercourse. O followers of Muhammad! If you but knew
what I know, you would laugh less and weep more!"
Narrated Asma':
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "There is nothing
(none) having a greater sense of Ghira (self-respect) than Allah." And
narrated Abu Huraira that he heard the Prophet (saying the same).
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet; said, "Allah has a sense of Ghira, and
Allah's sense of Ghira is provoked when a believer does something which Allah
has prohibited."
Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr:
When Az-Zubair married me, he had no real property or any
slave or anything else except a camel which drew water from the well, and his
horse. I used to feed his horse with fodder and drew water and sew the bucket
for drawing it, and prepare the dough, but I did not know how to bake bread. So
our Ansari neighbors used to bake bread for me, and they were honorable ladies.
I used to carry the date stones on my head from Zubair's land given to him by
Allah's Apostle and this land was two third Farsakh (about two miles) from my
house. One day, while I was coming with the date stones on my head, I met
Allah's Apostle along with some Ansari people. He called me and then,
(directing his camel to kneel down) said, "Ikh! Ikh!" so as to make
me ride behind him (on his camel). I felt shy to travel with the men and
remembered Az-Zubair and his sense of Ghira, as he was one of those people who
had the greatest sense of Ghira. Allah's Apostle noticed that I felt shy, so he
proceeded. I came to Az-Zubair and said, "I met Allah's Apostle while I
was carrying a load of date stones on my head, and he had some companions with
him. He made his camel kneel down so that I might ride, but I felt shy in his
presence and remembered your sense of Ghira (See the glossary). On that
Az-Zubair said, "By Allah, your carrying the date stones (and you being
seen by the Prophet in such a state) is more shameful to me than your riding
with him." (I continued serving in this way) till Abu Bakr sent me a
servant to look after the horse, whereupon I felt as if he had set me free.
Narrated Anas:
While the Prophet was in the house of one of his wives, one
of the mothers of the believers sent a meal in a dish. The wife at whose house
the Prophet was, struck the hand of the servant, causing the dish to fall and
break. The Prophet gathered the broken pieces of the dish and then started
collecting on them the food which had been in the dish and said, "Your
mother (my wife) felt jealous." Then he detained the servant till a
(sound) dish was brought from the wife at whose house he was. He gave the sound
dish to the wife whose dish had been broken and kept the broken one at the
house where it had been broken.
Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet, said, "I entered Paradise and saw a palace
and asked whose palace is this? They (the Angels) said, "This palace
belongs to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab.' I intended to enter it, and nothing stopped
me except my knowledge about your sense of Ghira (self-respect (O Umar)."
'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for
you! O Allah's Prophet! How dare I think of my Ghira (self-respect) being
offended by you?"
Narrated Abu Huraira:
While we were sitting with Allah's Apostle, (he) Allah's
Apostle said, "While I was sleeping, I saw a woman performing ablution
beside a palace. I asked, "Whose palace is this?' It was said, 'This
palace belongs to 'Umar.' Then I remembered his sense of Ghira and returned."
On that 'Umar started weeping in that gathering and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! How dare I think of my self-respect being offended by you?"
Narrated Aisha:
That Allah's Apostle said to her, "I you are pleased
with me or angry with me." I said, "Whence do you know that?" He
said, "When you are pleased with me, you say, 'No, by the Lord of
Muhammad,' but when you are angry with me, then you say, 'No, by the Lord of
Abraham.' " Thereupon I said, "Yes (you are right), but by Allah, O
Allah's Apostle, I leave nothing but your name."
Narrated 'Aisha:
I never felt so jealous of any wife of Allah's Apostle as I
did of Khadija because Allah's Apostle used to remember and praise her too
often and because it was revealed to Allah's Apostle that he should give her
(Khadija) the glad tidings of her having a palace of Qasab in Paradise .
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
I heard Allah's Apostle who was on the pulpit, saying,
"Banu Hisham bin Al-Mughira have requested me to allow them to marry their
daughter to Ali bin Abu Talib, but I don't give permission, and will not give
permission unless 'Ali bin Abi Talib divorces my daughter in order to marry
their daughter, because Fatima is a part of my body, and I hate what she hates
to see, and what hurts her, hurts me."
Narrated Anas:
I will narrate to you a Habith I heard from Allah's Apostle
and none other than I will tell you of it. I heard Allah's Apostle saying,
"From among the portents of the Hour are the following: Religious
knowledge will be taken away; General ignorance (in religious matters) will
increase; illegal Sexual intercourse will prevail: Drinking of alcoholic drinks
will prevail. Men will decrease in number, and women will increase in number,
so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man."
Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir:
Allah's Apostle said, "Beware of entering upon the
ladies." A man from the Ansar said, "Allah's Apostle! What about
Al-Hamu the in-laws of the wife (the brothers of her husband or his nephews
etc.)?" The Prophet replied: The in-laws of the wife are death itself.
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas :
The Prophet said, "No man should stay with a lady in
seclusion except in the presence of a Dhu-Muhram." A man stood up and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! My wife has gone out intending to perform the
Hajj and I have been enrolled (in the army) for such-and-such campaign."
The Prophet said, "Return and perform the Hajj with your wife."
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
An Ansari woman came to the Prophet and he took her aside
and said (to her). "By Allah, you (Ansar) are the most beloved people to
me."
Narrated Um Salama:
that while the Prophet was with her, there was an effeminate
man in the house. The effeminate man said to Um Salama's brother, 'Abdullah bin
Abi Umaiyya, "If Allah should make you conquer Ta'if tomorrow, I recommend
that you take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) for (she is so fat) that
she shows four folds of flesh when facing you and eight when she turns her
back." Thereupon the Prophet said (to us), "This (effeminate man)
should not enter upon you (anymore)."
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet was screening me with his Rida' (garment
covering the upper part of the body) while I was looking at the Ethiopians who
were playing in the courtyard of the mosque. (I continued watching) till I was
satisfied. So you may deduce from this event how a little girl (who has not
reached the age of puberty) who is eager to enjoy amusement should be treated
in this respect.
Narrated 'Aisha:
Once Sada bint Zam'a went out at night for some need, and
'Umar saw her, and recognizing her, he said (to her), "By Allah, O Sada!
You cannot hide yourself from us." So she returned to the Prophet and
mentioned that to him while he was sitting in my dwelling taking his supper and
holding a bone covered with meat in his hand. Then the Divine Inspiration was
revealed to him and when that state was over, he (the Prophet was saying: "O
women! You have been allowed by Allah to go out for your needs."
Narrated Salim's father:
The Prophet said, "If the wife of anyone of you asks
permission to go to the mosque, he should not forbid her."
Narrated 'Aisha:
My foster uncle came and asked permission (to enter) but I
refused to admit him till I asked Allah's Apostle about that. He said, "He
is your uncle, so allow him to come in." I said, "O Allah's Apostle!
I have been suckled by a woman and not by a man." Allah's Apostle said,
"He is your uncle, so let him enter upon you." And that happened
after the order of Al-Hijab (compulsory veiling) was revealed. All things which
become unlawful because of blood relations are unlawful because of the
corresponding foster suckling relations.
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:
The Prophet said, "A woman should not look at or touch
another woman to describe her to her
husband in such a way as if he was actually looking at
her."
Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "A woman should not look at or touch
another woman to describe her to her husband in such a way as if he was
actually looking at her."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
(The Prophet) Solomon son of (the Prophet) David said,
"Tonight I will go round (i.e. have sexual relations with) one hundred
women (my wives) everyone of whom will deliver a male child who will fight in
Allah's Cause." On that an Angel said to him, "Say: 'If Allah will.'
" But Solomon did not say it and forgot to say it. Then he had sexual
relations with them but none of them delivered any child except one who
delivered a half person. The Prophet said, "If Solomon had said: 'If Allah
will,' Allah would have fulfilled his (above) desire and that saying would have
made him more hopeful."
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
The Prophet disliked that one should go to one's family at
night (on returning from a journey).
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "When anyone of you is away from
his house for a long time, he should not return to his family at night."
Narrated Jabir:
I was with Allah's Apostle in a Ghazwa, and when we
returned, I wanted to hurry, while riding a slow camel. A rider came behind me.
I looked back and saw that the rider was Allah's Apostle . He said (to me),
"What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, "I am newly
married." He said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron?" I
replied, "(Not a virgin but) a matron." He said, "Why didn't you
marry a young girl with whom you could play and who could play with you?"
Then when we approached (Medina) and were going to enter (it), the Prophet
said, "Wait till you enter (your homes) at night (in the first part of the
night) so that the ladies with unkempt hair may comb their hair, and those whose
husbands have been absent (for a long time) may shave their pubic hair."
(The sub-narrator, Hashim said: A reliable narrator told me that the Prophet
added in this Hadith: "(Seek to beget) children! Children, O Jabir!")
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "If you enter (your town) at night
(after coming from a journey), do not enter upon your family till the woman
whose husband was absent (from the house) shaves her pubic hair and the woman
with unkempt hair, combs her hair" Allah's Apostle further said, "(O
Jabir!) Seek to have offspring, seek to have offspring!"
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
We were with the Prophet in Ghazwa, and when we returned and
approached Medina, I wanted to hurry while riding a slow camel. A rider
overtook me and pricked my camel with a spear which he had, whereupon my camel
started running as fast as any other fast camel you may see. I looked back, and
behold, the rider was Allah's Apostle . I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am
newly married " He asked, "Have you got married?" I replied,
"Yes." He said, "A virgin or a matron?" I replied,
"(Not a virgin) but a matron" He said, "Why didn't you marry a
young girl so that you could play with her and she with you?" When we
reached (near Medina) and were going to enter it, the Prophet said, "Wait
till you enter your home early in the night so that the lady whose hair is
unkempt may comb her hair and that the lady whose husband has been away may
shave her pubic hair."
Narrated Abu Hazim:
The people differed about the type of treatment which had
been given to Allah's Apostle on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. So they asked
Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'id who was the only surviving Companion (of the Prophet) at
Medina. He replied, "Nobody Is left at Medina who knows it better than I.
Fatima was washing the blood off his face and 'Ali was bringing water in his
shield, and then a mat of date-palm leaves was burnt and (the ash) was inserted
into the wound."
Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Abis:
I heard Ibn 'Abbas answering a man who asked him, "Did
you attend the prayer of 'Id al Adha or 'Id-al-Fitr with Allah's Apostle?"
Ibn 'Abbas replied, "Yes, and had it not been for my close relationship
with him, I could not have offered it." (That was because of his young
age). Ibn 'Abbas further said, Allah's Apostle went out and offered the Id
prayer and then delivered the sermon." Ibn 'Abbas did not mention anything
about the Adhan (the call for prayer) or the Iqama. He added, "Then the
Prophet went to the women and instructed them and gave them religious advice
and ordered them to give alms and I saw them reaching out (their hands to)
their ears and necks (to take off the earrings and necklaces, etc.) and
throwing (it) towards Bilal. Then the Prophet returned with Bilal to his house
. "
Narrated 'Aisha:
Abu Bakr admonished me and poked me with his hands in the
flank, and nothing stopped me from moving at that time except the position of
Allah's Apostle whose head was on my thigh.
