three persons were traveling, they were overtaken by
rain and they took shelter in a cave in a mountain. A

cave and blocked it. They said to each other. 'Think of
such good (righteous) deeds which, you did for Allah's
sake only, and invoke Allah by giving reference to those
deeds so that Allah may relieve you from your
difficulty. one of them said, 'O Allah! I had my parents
who were very old and I had small children for whose
sake I used to work as a shepherd. When I returned to
them at night and milked (the sheep), I used to start
giving the milk to my parents first before giving to my
children. And one day I went far away in search of a
grazing place (for my sheep), and didn't return home
till late at night and found that my parents had slept.
I milked (my livestock) as usual and brought the milk
vessel and stood at their heads, and I disliked to wake
them up from their sleep, and I also disliked to give
the milk to my children before my parents though my
children were crying (from hunger) at my feet.
So this state of mine and
theirs continued till the day dawned. (O Allah!) If you
considered that I had done that only for seeking Your
pleasure, then please let there be an opening through
which we can see the sky.' So Allah made for them an
opening through which they could see the sky. Then the
second person said, 'O Allah! I had a she-cousin whom I
loved as much as a passionate man love a woman. I tried
to seduce her but she refused till I paid her
one-hundred Dinars So I worked hard till I collected one
hundred Dinars and went to her with that But when I sat
in between her legs (to have sexual intercourse with
her), she said, 'O Allah's slave! Be afraid of Allah !
Do not deflower me except legally (by marriage
contract). So I left her O Allah! If you considered that
I had done that only for seeking Your pleasure then
please let the rock move a little to have a (wider)
opening.'
So Allah shifted that rock to
make the opening wider for them. And the last (third)
person said 'O Allah ! I employed a laborer for wages
equal to a Faraq (a certain measure: of rice, and when
he had finished his job he demanded his wages, but when
I presented his due to him, he gave it up and refused to
take it. Then I kept on sowing that rice for him
(several times) till managed to buy with the price of
the yield, some cows and their shepherd Later on the
laborer came to me an said. '(O Allah's slave!) Be
afraid o Allah, and do not be unjust to me an give me my
due.' I said (to him). 'Go and take those cows and their
shepherd. So he took them and went away. (So, O Allah!)
If You considered that I had done that for seeking Your
pleasure, then please remove the remaining part of the
rock.' And so Allah released them (from their
difficulty)."

his company?" Allah's Apostle said, "O 'Aisha! Have you

(Remember that) the worst people in Allah's sight on the
Day of Resurrection will be those whom the people leave
(undisturbed) to be away from their evil (deeds)."

The Prophet was the best among
the people (both in shape and character) and was the
most generous of them, and was the bravest of them.
Once, during the night, the people of Medina got afraid
(of a sound). So the people went towards that sound, but
the Prophet having gone to that sound before them, met
them while he was saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be
afraid." (At that time) he was riding a horse belonging
to Abu Talha and it was naked without a saddle, and he
was carrying a sword slung at his neck. The Prophet
said, "I found it (the horse) like a sea, or, it is the

it, and you also know that he (the Prophet) never turns

is telling a lie, he is really so if his oath is false,
and a person is not bound to fulfill a vow about a thing
which he does not possess. And if somebody commits
suicide with anything in this world, he will be tortured

mother bad names?" I said, "Yes". He said, "You still
have the traits of (the Pre-lslamic period of)
ignorance." I said. "(Do I still have ignorance) even
now in my old age?" He said, "Yes, they (slaves or

under your command. So the one under whose hand Allah
has put his brother, should feed him of what he eats,

talk to him (about his unfinished prayer). And the hasty
people went away, wondering. "Has the prayer been
shortened" Among the people there was a man whom the
Prophet used to call Dhul-Yadain (the longarmed). He
said, "O Allah's Prophet! Have you forgotten or has the
prayer been shortened?" The Prophet said, "Neither have
I forgotten, nor has it been shortened." They (the
people) said, "Surely, you have forgotten, O Allah's
Apostle!" The Prophet said, Dhul-Yadain has told the
truth." So the Prophet got up and offered other two
Rakat and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then he said
Takbir, performed a prostration of ordinary duration or

about with calumnies (among the people to rouse
hostilities, e.g., one goes to a person and tells him
that so-and-so says about him such-and-such evil

Him. There came to me two men, one of them sat near my
feet and the other near my head. The one near my feet,
asked the one near my head (pointing at me), 'What is
wrong with this man? The latter replied, 'He is under
the effect of magic.' The first one asked, 'Who had
worked magic on him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid bin
Asam.' The first one asked, 'What material (did he
use)?' The other replied, 'The skin of the pollen of a
male date tree with a comb and the hair stuck to it,
kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan."' Then the
Prophet went to that well and said, "This is the same
well which was shown to me in the dream. The tops of its
date-palm trees look like the heads of the devils, and
its water looks like the Henna infusion." Then the
Prophet ordered that those things be taken out. I said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Won't you disclose (the magic
object)?" The Prophet said, "Allah has cured me and I

said, "By Allah, if 'Aisha does not give up this, I will
declare her incompetent to dispose of her wealth." I
said, "Did he ('Abdullah bin Az-Zubair) say so?" They
(people) said, "Yes." 'Aisha said, "I vow to Allah that
I will never speak to Ibn Az-Zubair." When this
desertion lasted long, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair sought
intercession with her, but she said, "By Allah, I will
not accept the intercession of anyone for him, and will
not commit a sin by breaking my vow." When this state of
affairs was prolonged on Ibn Az-Zubair (he felt it hard
on him), he said to Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and
'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu Yaghuth, who were
from the tribe of Bani Zahra, "I beseech you, by Allah,
to let me enter upon 'Aisha, for it is unlawful for her
to vow to cut the relation with me." So Al-Miswar and
'Abdur-Rahman, wrapping their sheets around themselves,
asked 'Aisha's permission saying, "Peace and Allah's
Mercy and Blessings be upon you! Shall we come in?"
'Aisha said, "Come in." They said, "All of us?" She
said, "Yes, come in all of you," not knowing that Ibn
Az-Zubair was also with them. So when they entered, Ibn
Az-Zubair entered the screened place and got hold of
'Aisha and started requesting her to excuse him, and
wept. Al-Miswar and 'Abdur Rahman also started
requesting her to speak to him and to accept his
repentance. They said (to her), "The Prophet forbade
what you know of deserting (not speaking to your Muslim
Brethren), for it is unlawful for any Muslim not to talk
to his brother for more than three nights (days)." So
when they increased their reminding her (of the
superiority of having good relation with Kith and kin,
and of excusing others' sins), and brought her down to a
critical situation, she started reminding them, and
wept, saying, "I have made a vow, and (the question of)
vow is a difficult one." They (Al-Miswar and
'Abdur-Rahman) persisted in their appeal till she spoke
with 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair and she manumitted forty
slaves as an expiation for her vow. Later on, whenever
she remembered her vow, she used to weep so much that
her veil used to become wet with her tears.

Bakr:
Abu Bakr came with a guest or

Prophet and when he came, my mother said (to him), "Have
you been detained from your guest or guests tonight?" He
said, "Haven't you served the supper to them?" She
replied, "We presented the meal to him (or to them), but
he (or they) refused to eat." Abu Bakr became angry,
rebuked me and invoked Allah to cause (my) ears to be
cut and swore not to eat of it!" I hid myself, and he
called me, "O ignorant (boy)!" Abu Bakr's wife swore
that she would not eat of it and so the guests or the
guest swore that they would not eat of it till he ate of
it. Abu Bakr said, "All that happened was from Satan."
So he asked for the meals and ate of it, and so did
they. Whenever they took a handful of the meal, the meal
grew (increased) from underneath more than that
mouthful. He said (to his wife), "O, sister of Bani
Firas! What is this?" She said, "O, pleasure of my eyes!
The meal is now more than it had been before we started
eating'' So they ate of it and sent the rest of that
meal to the Prophet. It is said that the Prophet also
ate of it.

"It is the date-palm tree" When I came out with my
father, I said, "O father! It came to my mind that it

Narrated Salama bin Al-Aqwa:
We went out with Allah's
Apostle to Khaibar and we travelled during the night. A
man amongst the people said to 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa',
"Won't you let us hear your poetry?" 'Amir was a poet,
and so he got down and started (chanting Huda) reciting
for the people, poetry that keep pace with the camel's
foot steps, saying, "O Allah! Without You we would not
have been guided on the right path, neither would we
have given in charity, nor would we have prayed. So
please forgive us what we have committed. Let all of us
be sacrificed for Your cause and when we meet our enemy,
make our feet firm and bestow peace and calmness on us
and if they (our enemy) will call us towards an unjust
thing we will refuse.
The infidels have made a hue
and cry to ask others help against us. Allah's Apostle
said, "Who is that driver (of the camels)?" They said,
"He is 'Amir bin Al-Aqwa."' He said, "May Allah bestow
His mercy on him." A man among the people said, Has
Martyrdom been granted to him, O Allah's Prophet! Would
that you let us enjoy his company longer." We reached
(the people of) Khaibar and besieged them till we were
stricken with severe hunger but Allah helped the Muslims
conquer Khaibar. In the evening of its conquest the
people made many fires. Allah's Apostle asked, "What are
those fires? For what are you making fires?" They said,
"For cooking meat." He asked, "What kind of meat?" They
said, "Donkeys' meat." Allah's Apostle said, "Throw away
the meat and break the cooking pots." A man said, O
Allah's Apostle! Shall we throw away the meat and wash
the cooking pots?" He said, "You can do that too." When
the army files aligned in rows (for the battle), 'Amir's
sword was a short one, and while attacking a Jew with it
in order to hit him, the sharp edge of the sword turned
back and hit 'Amir's knee and caused him to die.
When the Muslims returned (from
the battle), Salama said, Allah's Apostle saw me pale
and said, 'What is wrong with you?"' I said, "Let my
parents be sacrificed for you! The people claim that all
the deeds of Amir have been annulled." The Prophet
asked, "Who said so?" I replied, "So-and-so and
so-and-so and Usaid bin Al-Hudair Al-Ansari said,
'Whoever says so is telling a lie. Verily, 'Amir will
have double reward."' (While speaking) the Prophet put
two of his fingers together to indicate that, and added,
"He was really a hard-working man and a Mujahid (devout
fighter in Allah's Cause) and rarely have there lived in
it (i.e., Medina or the battle-field) an "Arab like
him."

Sometimes the time of the Prayer became due while he
(the Prophet) was in our house. He would order that the

Volume
8, Book 73, Number 226:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
That Allah's Apostle rode over
a donkey covered with a Fadakiya (velvet sheet) and
Usama was riding behind him. He was visiting Sa'd bin
'Ubada (who was sick) in the dwelling place of Bani
Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj and this incident happened
before the battle of Badr. They proceeded till they
passed by a gathering in which 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin
Salul was present., and that was before 'Abdullah bin
Ubat embraced Islam. In that gathering there were
Muslims, pagan idolators and Jews, and among the Muslims
there was 'Abdullah bin Rawaha.
When a cloud of dust raised by
(the movement of ) the animal covered that gathering,
'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his garment and
said, "Do not cover us with dust." Allah's Apostle
greeted them, stopped, dismounted and invited them to
Allah (i.e. to embrace Islam) and recited to them the
Holy Qur'an. On that 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul said
to him, "O man! There is nothing better than what you
say, if it is the truth. So do not trouble us with it in
our gatherings, but if somebody comes to you, you can
preach to him." On that 'Abdullah bin Rawaha said "Yes,
O Allah's Apostle! Call on us in our gathering, for we
love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews
started abusing one another till they were about to
fight with one another. Allah's Apostle kept on
quietening them till all of them became quiet, and then
Allah's Apostle rode his animal and proceeded till he
entered upon Sa'd bin 'Ubada. Allah's Apostle said, "O
Sa'd! Didn't you hear what Abu Habab said?" (meaning
'Abdullah bin Unbar). "He said so-and-so." Sa'd bin
Ubada said, "O Allah's Apostle! Let my father be
sacrificed for you ! Excuse and forgive him for, by Him
Who revealed to you the Book, Allah sent the Truth which
was revealed to you at the time when the people of this
town had decided to crown him ('Abdullah bin Ubai) as
their ruler.
So when Allah had prevented
that with the Truth He had given you, he was choked by
that, and that caused him to behave in such an impolite
manner which you had noticed." So Allah's Apostle
excused him. (It was the custom of) Allah's Apostle and
his companions to excuse the pagans and the people of
the scripture (Christians and Jews) as Allah ordered
them, and they used to be patient when annoyed (by
them). Allah said: 'You shall certainly hear much that
will grieve you from those who received the Scripture
before you.....and from the pagans (3.186)
He also said: 'Many of the
people of the scripture wish that if they could turn you
away as disbelievers after you have believed. ....
(2.109) So Allah's Apostle used to apply what Allah had
ordered him by excusing them till he was allowed to
fight against them. When Allah's Apostle had fought the
battle of Badr and Allah killed whomever He killed among
the chiefs of the infidels and the nobles of Quraish,
and Allah's Apostle and his companions had returned with
victory and booty, bringing with them some of the chiefs
of the infidels and the nobles of the Quraish as
captives. 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul and the pagan
idolators who were with him, said, "This matter (Islam)
has now brought out its face (triumphed), so give
Allah's Apostle the pledge of allegiance (for embracing
Islam.)". Then they became Muslims.

have been in the lowest part of the Fire."

comes out to be true." Allah's Apostle said, "That word

stealing and then pours it in the ear of his fore-teller
with a sound similar to the cackle of a hen, and then
they add to it one-hundred lies."

him the glad tidings of entering Paradise." Behold! It
was 'Umar. So I opened the gate for him and gave him the
glad tidings of entering Paradise. Then another man came
and asked permission to enter.
The Prophet was sitting in a
leaning posture, so he sat up and said, "Open the gate
for him and give him the glad tidings of entering
Paradise with a calamity which will befall him or which
will take place." I went, and behold ! It was Uthman. So
I opened the gate for him and gave him the glad tidings

you)." That was a great thing for both of them. The
