Narrated Abu
Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"Allah created Adam in his complete shape and form (directly), sixty
cubits (about 30 meters) in height. When He created him, He said (to him),
"Go and greet that group of angels sitting there, and listen what they
will say in reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of
your offspring." Adam (went and) said, 'As-Salamu alaikum (Peace be upon
you).' They replied, 'AsSalamu-'Alaika wa Rahmatullah (Peace and Allah's Mercy
be on you) So they increased 'Wa Rahmatullah' The Prophet added 'So whoever
will enter Paradise, will be of the shape and form of Adam. Since then the
creation of Adam's (offspring) (i.e. stature of human beings is being diminished
continuously) to the present time."
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
Al-Fadl bin
'Abbas rode behind the Prophet as his companion rider on the back portion of
his she camel on the Day of Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifice, 10th Dhul-Hijja)
and Al-Fadl was a handsome man. The Prophet stopped to give the people
verdicts. In the meantime, a beautiful woman From the tribe of Khath'am came,
asking the verdict of Allah's Apostle. Al-Fadl started looking at her as her
beauty attracted him. The Prophet looked behind while Al-Fadl was looking at
her; so the Prophet held out his hand backwards and caught the chin of Al-Fadl
and turned his face (to the owner sides in order that he should not gaze at
her. She said, "O Allah's Apostle! The obligation of Performing Hajj
enjoined by Allah on His worshipers, has become due (compulsory) on my father
who is an old man and who cannot sit firmly on the riding animal. Will it be
sufficient that I perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said, "Yes."
Narrated Abu Said
Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said,
'Beware! Avoid sitting on the roads." They (the people) said, "O
Allah s Apostle! We can't help sitting (on the roads) as these are (our places)
here we have talks." The Prophet said, ' l f you refuse but to sit, then
pay the road its right ' They said, "What is the right of the road, O
Allah's Apostle?" He said, 'Lowering your gaze, refraining from harming
others, returning greeting, and enjoining what is good, and forbidding what is
evil."
Narrated
'Abdullah:
When we prayed
with the Prophet we used to say: As-Salam be on Allah from His worshipers,
As-Salam be on Gabriel, As-Salam be on Michael, As-Salam be on so-and-so. When
the Prophet finished his prayer, he faced us and said, "Allah Himself is
As-Salam (Peace), so when one sits in the prayer, one should say,
'At-Tahiyatu-lillahi Was-Salawatu, Wat-Taiyibatu, As-Salamu 'Alaika
aiyuhan-Nabiyyu wa Rah-matul-lahi wa Barakatuhu, As-Salamu 'Alaina wa 'ala
'Ibadillahi assalihin, for if he says so, then it will be for all the pious
slave of Allah in the Heavens and the Earth. (Then he should say), 'Ash-hadu an
la ilaha illalllahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'Abduhu wa rasulu-hu,' and then
he can choose whatever speech (i.e. invocation) he wishes " (See Hadith
No. 797, Vol. 1)

Aiyub:
The Prophet said,
"It is not lawful for a Muslim to desert (not to speak to) his brother
Muslim for more than three days while meeting, one turns his face to one side
and the other turns his face to the other side. Lo! The better of the two is
the one who starts greeting the other."
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
that he was a boy
of ten at the time when the Prophet emigrated to Medina. He added: I served
Allah's Apostle for ten years (the last part of his life time) and I know more
than the people about the occasion whereupon the order of Al-Hijab was revealed
(to the Prophet). Ubai b n Ka'b used to ask me about it. It was revealed (for
the first time) during the marriage of Allah's Apostle with Zainab bint Jahsh.
In the morning, the Prophet was a bride-groom of her and he Invited the people,
who took their meals and went away, but a group of them remained with Allah's
Apostle and they prolonged their stay. Allah's Apostle got up and went out, and
I too, went out along with him till he came to the lintel of 'Aisha's dwelling
place. Allah's Apostle thought that those people had left by then, so he
returned, and I too, returned with him till he entered upon Zainab and found
that they were still sitting there and had not yet gone. The Prophet went out
again, and so did I with him till he reached the lintel of 'Aisha's dwelling
place, and then he thought that those people must have left by then, so he
returned, and so did I with him, and found those people had gone. At that time the
Divine Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed, and the Prophet set a screen between me
and him (his family).
Narrated Anas:
When the Prophet
married Zainab, the people came and were offered a meal, and then they sat down
(after finishing their meals) and started chatting. The Prophet showed as if he
wanted to get up, but they did not get up. When he noticed that, he got up, and
some of the people also got up and went away, while some others kept on
sitting. When the Prophet returned to enter, he found the people still sitting,
but then they got up and left. So I told the Prophet of their departure and he
came and went in. I intended to go in but the Prophet put a screen between me
and him, for Allah revealed:-- 'O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's
houses..' (33.53)
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the
Prophet) 'Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say to Allah's Apostle "Let your
wives be veiled" But he did not do so. The wives of the Prophet used to go
out to answer the call of nature at night only at Al-Manasi.' Once Sauda, the
daughter of Zam'a went out and she was a tall woman. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab saw
her while he was in a gathering, and said, "I have recognized you, O
Sauda!" He ('Umar) said so as he was anxious for some Divine orders
regarding the veil (the veiling of women.) So Allah revealed the Verse of
veiling. (Al-Hijab; a complete body cover excluding the eyes). (See Hadith No.
148, Vol. 1)
Narrated Sahl bin
Sa'd:
A man peeped
through a round hole into the dwelling place of the Prophet, while the Prophet
had a Midray (an iron comb) with which he was scratching his head. the Prophet
said, " Had known you were looking (through the hole), I would have pierced
your eye with it (i.e., the comb)." Verily! The order of taking permission
to enter has been enjoined because of that sight, (that one should not look
unlawfully at the state of others). (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 7)
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
A man peeped into
a room of the Prophet. The Prophet stood up, holding an arrow head. It is as if
I am just looking at him, trying to stab the man.
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
I have not seen a
thing resembling 'lamam' (minor sins) than what Abu Huraira 'narrated from the
Prophet who said "Allah has written for Adam's son his share of adultery
which he commits inevitably. The adultery of the eyes is the sight (to gaze at
a forbidden thing), the adultery of the tongue is the talk, and the inner self
wishes and desires and the private parts testify all this or deny it."
Narrated Anas:
Whenever Allah's
Apostle greeted somebody, he used to greet him three times, and if he spoke a
sentence, he used to repeat it thrice.
Narrated Abu Said
Al-Khudri:
While I was
present in one of the gatherings of the Ansar, Abu Musa came as if he was
scared, and said, "I asked permission to enter upon 'Umar three times, but
I was not given the permission, so I returned." (When 'Umar came to know
about it) he said to Abu Musa, "Why did you not enter?'. Abu Musa replied,
"I asked permission three times, and I was not given it, so I returned,
for Allah's Apostle said, "If anyone of you asks the permission to enter
thrice, and the permission is not given, then he should return.' " 'Umar
said, "By Allah! We will ask Abu Musa to bring witnesses for it."
(Abu Musa went to a gathering of the Ansar and said). "Did anyone of you
hear this from the Prophet ?" Ubai bin Ka'b said, "By Allah, none
will go with you but the youngest of the people (as a witness)." (Abu
Said) was the youngest of them, so I went with Abu Musa and informed 'Umar that
the Prophet had said so. (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 3)
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
I entered (the
house) along with Allah's Apostle . There he found milk in a basin. He said,

given, they entered. (See Hadith No. 459 for details)
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
that he passed by
a group of boys and greeted them and said, "The Prophet used to do
so."
Narrated Abu
Hazim:
Sahl said,
"We used to feel happy on Fridays." I asked Sahl, "Why?" He
said, "There was an old woman of our acquaintance who used to send
somebody to Buda'a (Ibn Maslama said, "Buda'a was a garden of date-palms
at Medina). She used to pull out the silq (a kind of vegetable) from its roots
and put it in a cooking pot, adding some powdered barley over it (and cook it).
After finishing the Jumua (Friday) prayer we used to (pass by her and) greet
her, whereupon she would present us with that meal, so we used to feel happy
because of that. We used to have neither a midday nap, nor meals, except after
the Friday prayer." (See Hadith No. 60, Vol.2)
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle
said, "O 'Aisha! This is Gabriel sending his greetings to you." I
said, "Peace, and Allah's Mercy be on him (Gabriel). You see what we do
not see." (She was addressing Allah's Apostle).
Narrated Jabir:
I came to the
Prophet in order to consult him regarding my father's debt. When I knocked on
the door, he asked, "Who is that?" I replied, "I" He said,
"I, I?" He repeated it as if he disliked it.
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
A man entered the
mosque while Allah's Apostle was sitting in one side of the mosque. The man
prayed, came, and greeted the Prophet. Allah's Apostle said to him, "Wa
'Alaikas Salam (returned his greeting). Go back and pray as you have not prayed
(properly)." The man returned, repeated his prayer, came back and greeted
the Prophet. The Prophet said, "Wa alaika-s-Salam (returned his greeting).
Go back and pray again as you have not prayed (properly)." The man said at
the second or third time, "O Allah's Apostle! Kindly teach me how to
pray". The Prophet said, "When you stand for prayer, perform ablution
properly and then face the Qibla and say Takbir (Allahu-Akbar), and then recite
what you know from the Qur'an, and then bow with calmness till you feel at ease
then rise from bowing, till you stand straight, and then prostrate calmly (and
remain in prostration) till you feel at ease, and then raise (your head) and
sit with calmness till you feel at ease and then prostrate with calmness (and
remain in prostration) till you feel at ease, and then raise (your head) and
sit with calmness till you feel at ease in the sitting position, and do
likewise in whole of your prayer." And Abu Usama added, "Till you
stand straight." (See Hadith No. 759, Vol.1)
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
The Prophet said
(in the above narration No. 268), "And then raise your head till you feel
at ease while sitting. "
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet said to her, "Gabriel sends Salam (greetings) to
you." She replied, "Wa 'alaihi-s-Salam Wa Rahmatu-l-lah." (Peace
and Allah's Mercy be on him).
Narrated 'Urwa-bin
Az-Zubair:
Usama bin Zaid
said, "The Prophet rode over a donkey with a saddle underneath which there
was a thick soft Fadakiya velvet sheet. Usama bin Zaid was his companion rider,
and he was going to pay a visit to Sa'd bin Ubada (who was sick) at the
dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and this incident happened
before the battle of Badr. The Prophet passed by a gathering in which there
were Muslims and pagan idolators and Jews, and among them there was 'Abdullah
bin Ubai bin Salul, and there was 'Abdullah bin Rawaha too. When a cloud of
dust raised by the animal covered that gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered
his nose with his Rida (sheet) and said (to the Prophet), "Don't cover us
with dust." The Prophet greeted them and then stopped, dismounted and
invited them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and also recited to them the
Holy Quran. 'Abdullah bin Ubai' bin Salul said, "O man! There is nothing
better than what you say, if what you say is the truth. So do not trouble us in
our gatherings. Go back to your mount (or house,) and if anyone of us comes to
you, tell (your tales) to him." On that 'Abdullah bin Rawaha said,
"(O Allah's Apostle!) Come to us and bring it(what you want to say) in our
gatherings, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews
started quarreling till they were about to fight and clash with one another.
The Prophet kept on quietening them (till they all became quiet). He then rode
his animal, and proceeded till he entered upon Sa'd bin 'Ubada, he said,
"O Sa'd, didn't you hear what Abu Habbab said? (He meant 'Abdullah bin
Ubai). He said so-and-so." Sa'd bin 'Ubada said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Excuse and forgive him, for by Allah, Allah has given you what He has given
you. The people of this town decided to crown him (as their chief) and make him
their king. But when Allah prevented that with the Truth which He had given
you, it choked him, and that was what made him behave in the way you saw him
behaving." So the Prophet excused him.
Narrated
'Abdullah bin Ka'b:
I heard Ka'b bin
Malik narrating (when he did not join the battle of Tabuk): Allah's Apostle
forbade all the Muslims to speak to us. I would come to Allah's Apostle and
greet him, and I would wonder whether the Prophet did move his lips to return
to my greetings or not till fifty nights passed away. The Prophet then
announced (to the people) Allah's forgiveness for us (acceptance of our
repentance) at the time when he had offered the Fajr (morning) prayer.
Narrated 'Aisha:
A group of Jews
came to Allah's Apostle and said, "As-samu 'Alaika " (Death be on
you), and I understood it and said to them, "Alaikum AsSamu wa-l-la'na
(Death and curse be on you)." Allah's Apostle said, "Be calm! O
'Aisha, for Allah loves that one should be kind and lenient in all
matters." I said. "O Allah's Apostle! Haven't you heard what they
have said?" Allah's Apostle said, "I have (already) said (to them),
'Alaikum (upon you).' "
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle
said, "When the Jews greet you, they usually say, 'As-Samu 'alaikum (Death
be on you),' so you should say (in reply to them), 'Wa'alaikum (And on
you)."
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
the Prophet said,
"If the people of the Scripture greet you, then you should say (in reply),
'Wa'alaikum (And on you).' "
Narrated 'Ali:
Allah's Apostle
sent me, Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam and Abu Marthad Al-Ghanawi, and all of us were
horsemen, and he said, "Proceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh, where there
is a woman from the pagans carrying a letter sent by Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to
the pagans (of Mecca)." So we overtook her while she was proceeding on her
camel at the same place as Allah's Apostle told us. We said (to her)
"Where is the letter which is with you?" She said, "I have no
letter with me." So we made her camel kneel down and searched her mount
(baggage etc) but could not find anything. My two companions said, "We do
not see any letter." I said, "I know that Allah's Apostle did not
tell a lie. By Allah, if you (the lady) do not bring out the letter, I will
strip you of your clothes' When she noticed that I was serious, she put her hand
into the knot of her waist sheet, for she was tying a sheet round herself, and
brought out the letter. So we proceeded to Allah's Apostle with the letter. The
Prophet said (to Habib), "What made you o what you have done, O
Hatib?" Hatib replied, "I have done nothing except that I believe in
Allah and His Apostle, and I have not changed or altered (my religion). But I
wanted to do the favor to the people (pagans of Mecca) through which Allah
might protect my family and my property, as there is none among your companions
but has someone in Mecca through whom Allah protects his property (against
harm). The Prophet said, "Habib has told you the truth, so do not say to
him (anything) but good." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "Verily he has
betrayed Allah, His Apostle, and the believers! Allow me to chop his neck
off!" The Prophet said, "O 'Umar! What do you know; perhaps Allah
looked upon the Badr warriors and said, 'Do whatever you like, for I have
ordained that you will be in Paradise.'" On that 'Umar wept and said,
"Allah and His Apostle know best."
Narrated Abu
Sufyan bin Harb:
that Heraclius
had sent for him to come along with a group of the Quraish who were trading in
Sha'm, and they came to him. Then Abu Sufyan mentioned the whole narration and
said, "Heraclius asked for the letter of Allah's Apostle . When the letter
was read, its contents were as follows: 'In the name of Allah, the Beneficent,
the Merciful. From Muhammad, Allah's slave and His Apostle to Heraclius, the
Chief of Byzantines: Peace be upon him who follows the right path (guidance)!
Amma ba'du (to proceed )...' (See Hadith No 6, Vol 1 for details)
Narrated Abu
Said:
The people of
(the tribe of) Quraiza agreed upon to accept the verdict of Sa'd. The Prophet
sent for him (Sa'd) and he came. The Prophet said (to those people), "Get
up for your chief or the best among you!" Sa'd sat beside the Prophet and
the Prophet said (to him), "These people have agreed to accept your
verdict." Sa'd said, "So I give my judgment that their warriors
should be killed and their women and children should be taken as
captives." The Prophet said, "You have judged according to the King's
(Allah's) judgment." (See Hadith No. 447, Vol. 5)

company of the Prophet and he was holding the hand of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab.
Narrated Ibn
Mas'ud:
Allah's Apostle
taught me the Tashah-hud as he taught me a Sura from the Quran, while my hand
was between his hands. (Tashah-hud was) all the best compliments and the
prayers and the good things are for Allah. Peace and Allah's Mercy and
Blessings be on you, O Prophet! Peace be on us and on the pious slaves of
Allah, I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I also
testify that Muhammad is Allah's slave and His Apostle. (We used to recite this
in the prayer) during the lifetime of the Prophet , but when he had died, we
used to say, "Peace be on the Prophet."
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
'Ali bin Abu Talib
came out of the house of the Prophet during his fatal ailment. The people asked
('Ali), "O Abu Hasan! How is the health of Allah's Apostle this
morning?" 'Ali said, "This morning he is better, with the grace of
Allah." Al-'Abbas held Ali by the hand and said, "Don't you see him
(about to die)? By Allah, within three days you will be the slave of the stick
(i.e., under the command of another ruler). By Allah, I think that Allah's
Apostle will die from his present ailment, for I know the signs of death on the
faces of the offspring of 'Abdul Muttalib. So let us go to Allah's Apostle to
ask him who will take over the Caliphate. If the authority is given to us, we
will know it, and if it is given to somebody else we will request him to
recommend us to him. " 'Ali said, "By Allah! If we ask Allah's
Apostle for the rulership and he refuses, then the people will never give it to
us. Besides, I will never ask Allah's Apostle for it." (See Hadith No 728,
Vol 5)
Narrated Muadh:
While I was a
companion rider with the Prophet he said, "O Mu'adh!" I replied,
"Labbaik wa Sa'daik." He repeated this call three times and then
said, "Do you know what Allah's Right on His slaves is?" I replied,
"No." He said, Allah's Right on His slaves is that they should
worship Him (Alone) and should not join partners in worship with Him." He
said, "O Mu'adh!" I replied, "Labbaik wa Sa'daik." He said,
"Do you know what the right of (Allah's) salves on Allah is, if they do
that (worship Him Alone and join none in His worship)? It is that He will not
punish them."
Narrated Mu'adh:
as above, No.
283.
Narrated Abu
Dhar:
While I was
walking with the Prophet at the Hurra of Medina in the evening, the mountain of
Uhud appeared before us. The Prophet said, "O Abu Dhar! I would not like
to have gold equal to Uhud (mountain) for me, unless nothing of it, not even a
single Dinar remains of it with me, for more than one day or three days, except
that single Dinar which I will keep for repaying debts. I will spend all of it
(the whole amount) among Allah's slaves like this and like this and like
this." The Prophet pointed out with his hand to illustrate it and then
said, "O Abu Dhar!" I replied, "Labbaik wa Sa'daik, O Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "Those who have much wealth (in this world) will
be the least rewarded (in the Hereafter) except those who do like this and like
this (i.e., spend their money in charity)." Then he ordered me,
"Remain at your place and do not leave it, O Abu Dhar, till I come
back." He went away till he disappeared from me. Then I heard a voice and
feared that something might have happened to Allah's Apostle, and I intended to
go (to find out) but I remembered the statement of Allah's Apostle that I
should not leave, my place, so I kept on waiting (and after a while the Prophet
came), and I said to him, "O Allah's Apostle, I heard a voice and I was
afraid that something might have happened to you, but then I remembered your statement
and stayed (there). The Prophet said, "That was Gabriel who came to me and
informed me that whoever among my followers died without joining others in
worship with Allah, would enter Paradise." I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft?"
He said, "Even if he had committed illegal sexual intercourse and theft '

sit on it, but one should make room and spread out. Ibn 'Umar disliked that a
man should get up from his seat and then somebody else sit at his place.
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
When Allah's
Apostle married Zainab bint Jahsh, he invited the people who took their meals
and then remained sitting and talking. The Prophet pretended to be ready to get
up, but the people did not get up. When he noticed that, he got up, and when he
had got up, some of those people got up along with him and there remained three
(who kept on sitting). Then the Prophet came back and found those people still
sitting. Later on those people got up and went away. So I went to the Prophet
and informed him that they had left.
The Prophet came,
and entered (his house). I wanted to enter(along with him) but he dropped a curtain
between me and him. Allah then revealed: 'O you who believe! Do not enter the
Prophet's Houses until leave is given... (to His statement)... Verily! That
shall be an enormity, in Allah's sight.' (33.53)

prayer), but I would gradually slip away from the bed.
Narrated Abdullah
bin 'Amr:
The news of my
fasting was mentioned to the Prophet . So he entered upon me and I put for him
a leather cushion stuffed with palm-fibres. The Prophet sat on the floor and
the cushion was between me and him. He said to me, "Isn't it sufficient
for you (that you fast) three days a month?" I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! (I can fast more than this)." He said, "You may fast) five
days a month." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! (I can fast more than
this)." He said, "(You may fast) seven days." I said, "O
Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Nine." I said, "O Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "Eleven." I said, "O Allah's

days. (See Hadith No. 300, Vol 3)

the people of Kufa." Abu Darda' said, "Wasn't there among you the
person who keeps the secrets (of the Prophet ) which nobody knew except him
(i.e., Hudhaifa (bin Al-Yaman)). And isn't there among you the person whom
Allah gave refuge from Satan through the request (tongue) of Allah's Apostle?
(i.e., 'Ammar). Isn't there among you the one who used to carry the Siwak and
the cushion (or pillows (of the Prophets)? (i.e., Ibn Mas'ud). How did Ibn
Mas'ud use to recite 'By the night as it conceals (the light)?" (Sura 92).
'Alqama said, "Wadhdhakari Wal Untha' (And by male and female.") Abu
Ad-Darda added. 'These people continued to argue with me regarding it till they
were about to cause me to have doubts although I heard it from Allah's Apostle
"

Sad:

There was no name
dearer to 'Ali than his nickname Abu Turab (the father of dust). He used to
feel happy whenever he was called by this name. Once Allah's Apostle came to
the house of Fatima but did not find 'Ali in the house. So he asked "Where
is your cousin?" She replied, "There was something (a quarrel) between
me and him whereupon he got angry with me and went out without having a midday
nap in my house." Allah's Apostle asked a person to look for him. That
person came, and said, "O Allah's Apostle! He (Ali) is sleeping in the
mosque." So Allah's Apostle went there and found him lying. His upper body
cover had fallen off to one side of his body, and so he was covered with dust.
Allah's Apostle started cleaning the dust from him, saying, "Get up, O Abu
Turab! Get up, Abu Turab!" (See Hadith No. 432, Vol 1)
Narrated Thumama:
Anas said,
"Um Sulaim used to spread a leather sheet for the Prophet and he used to
take a midday nap on that leather sheet at her home." Anas added,
"When the Prophet had slept, she would take some of his sweat and hair and
collect it (the sweat) in a bottle and then mix it with Suk (a kind of perfume)
while he was still sleeping. "When the death of Anas bin Malik approached,
he advised that some of that Suk be mixed with his Hanut (perfume for embalming
the dead body), and it was mixed with his Hanut.
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
Whenever Allah's
Apostle went to Quba, he used to visit Um Haram bint Milhan who would offer him
meals; and she was the wife of 'Ubada bin As-samit. One day he went to her
house and she offered him a meal, and after that he slept, and then woke up
smiling. She (Um Haram) said, "I asked him, 'What makes you laugh, O
Allah's Apostle?' He said, 'Some people of my followers were displayed before me
as warriors fighting for Allah's Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on
thrones,' or said, 'like kings on thrones.' (The narrator, Ishaq is in doubt
about it.) I (Um Haram) said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make
me one of them.' He invoked (Allah) for her and then lay his head and slept
again and then woke up smiling. I asked, 'What makes you laugh, O Allah's
Apostle?' He said, 'Some people of my followers were displayed before me as
warriors fighting for Allah's Cause and sailing over this sea, kings on the
thrones,' or said, 'like kings on the thrones.' I (Um Haram) said, 'O Allah's
Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them.' He said, You will be
amongst the first ones." It is said that Um Haram sailed over the sea at
the time of Muawiya, and on coming out of the sea, she fell down from her
riding animal and died.
Narrated Abu
Sa'id Al-Khudri:

Al-Ihtiba in one garment with no part of it covering one's private parts. (The
two kinds of bargains were:) Al-Mulamasa and Al-Munabadha.
Narrated 'Aisha:
He added, 'But
this year he reviewed it with me twice, and therefore I think that my time of
death has approached. So, be afraid of Allah, and be patient, for I am the best
predecessor for you (in the Hereafter).' " Fatima added, "So I wept
as you ('Aisha) witnessed. And when the Prophet saw me in this sorrowful state,
he confided the second secret to me saying, 'O Fatima! Will you not be pleased
that you will be chief of all the believing women (or chief of the women of
this nation i.e. my followers?")

So I went to him while he was with a group of people, and I secretly informed
him of that, whereupon he became so angry that his face became red, and he then
said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses (for) he was hurt more than
that, yet he remained patient."
