An Arab lady was mentioned to the Prophet (ﷺ) so he asked Abu Usaid As-Sa`idi to send for her, and he
sent for her and she came and stayed in the castle of Bani Sa`ida. The Prophet (ﷺ) came out and went to
her and entered upon her. Behold, it was a lady sitting with a drooping head. When the Prophet (ﷺ) spoke
to her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "I grant you refuge from me." They said
to her, "Do you know who this is?" She said, "No." They said, "This is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who has come
to command your hand in marriage." She said, "I am very unlucky to lose this chance." Then the
Prophet and his companions went towards the shed of Bani Sa`ida and sat there. Then he said, "Give
us water, O Sahl!" So I took out this drinking bowl and gave them water in it. The sub-narrator added:
Sahl took out for us that very drinking bowl and we all drank from it. Later on `Umar bin `Abdul
`Aziz requested Sahl to give it to him as a present, and he gave it to him as a present.

Narrated `Asim al-Ahwal:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ قَدَحَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عِنْدَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَكَانَ قَدِ انْصَدَعَ فَسَلْسَلَهُ بِفِضَّةٍ قَالَ وَهْوَ قَدَحٌ جَيِّدٌ عَرِيضٌ مِنْ نُضَارٍ. قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ لَقَدْ سَقَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي هَذَا الْقَدَحِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا. قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِيهِ حَلْقَةٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَأَرَادَ أَنَسٌ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مَكَانَهَا حَلْقَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ لاَ تُغَيِّرَنَّ شَيْئًا صَنَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَتَرَكَهُ.
I saw the drinking bowl of the Prophet (ﷺ) with Anas bin Malik, and it had been broken, and he had
mended it with silver plates. That drinking bowl was quite wide and made of Nadar wood, Anas said,
"I gave water to the Prophet (ﷺ) in that bowl more than so-and-so (for a long period)." Ibn Seereen said:
Around that bowl there was an iron ring, and Anas wanted to replace it with a silver or gold ring, but
Abu Talha said to him, "Do not change a thing that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has made." So Anas left it as it
was.
I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) and the time for the `Asr prayer became due. We had no water with us except a
little which was put in a vessel and was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) . He put his hand into it and spread out
his fingers and then said, "Come along! Hurry up! All those who want to perform ablution. The
blessing is from Allah.'' I saw the water gushing out from his fingers. So the people performed the
ablution and drank, and I tried to drink more of that water (beyond my thirst and capacity), for I knew
that it was a blessing. The sub-narrator said: I asked Jabir, "How many persons were you then?" He
replied, "We were one-thousand four hundred men." Salim said: Jabir said, 1500.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever
direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again.
Similarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till Allah removes his
difficulties.) And an impious wicked person is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till Allah
cuts (breaks) it down when He wishes." (See Hadith No. 558, Vol. 9.)

Once I fell ill. The Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr came walking to pay me a visit and found me unconscious.
The Prophet (ﷺ) performed ablution and then poured the remaining water on me, and I came to my senses
to see the Prophet. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What shall I do with my property? How shall I dispose
of (distribute) my property?" He did not reply till the Verse of inheritance was revealed.
Ibn `Abbas said to me, "Shall I show you a woman of the people of Paradise?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"This black lady came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, 'I get attacks of epilepsy and my body becomes
uncovered; please invoke Allah for me.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to her), 'If you wish, be patient and you will
have (enter) Paradise; and if you wish, I will invoke Allah to cure you.' She said, 'I will remain

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "Allah said, 'If I deprive my slave of his two beloved things (i.e., his
eyes) and he remains patient, I will let him enter Paradise in compensation for them.'"
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal got a fever. I entered upon them and
asked, "O my father! How are you? O Bilal! How are you?" Whenever fever attacked Abu Bakr, he
would recite the following poetic verses: 'Everybody is staying alive among his people, yet death is
nearer to him than his shoe laces." And whenever the fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic
lines): 'Would that I could stay overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and
Jalil (two kinds of good smelling grass). Would that one day I would drink of the water of Majinna
and would that Shama and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me.' Then I came and
informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about that, whereupon he said, "O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or
more than we love Mecca. O Allah! Make it healthy and bless its Mudd and Sa for us, and take away
its fever and put it in Al Juhfa."

bequeath half and leave half?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath one third and leave two thirds?"
He said, "One third is alright, though even one third is too much." Then he placed his hand on his

emigration." I feel as if I have been feeling the coldness of his hand on my liver ever since.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهْوَ يُوعَكُ فَمَسِسْتُهُ بِيَدِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ تُوعَكُ وَعْكًا شَدِيدًا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَجَلْ إِنِّي أُوعَكُ كَمَا يُوعَكُ رَجُلاَنِ مِنْكُمْ ". فَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ لَكَ أَجْرَيْنِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَجَلْ ". ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُصِيبُهُ أَذًى مَرَضٌ فَمَا سِوَاهُ إِلاَّ حَطَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ كَمَا تَحُطُّ الشَّجَرَةُ وَرَقَهَا ".
I visited Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while he was suffering from a high fever. I touched him with my hand and
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You have a high fever." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Yes, I have as much fever as
two men of you have." I said, "Is it because you will get a double reward?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Yes,
no Muslim is afflicted with harm because of sickness or some other inconvenience, but that Allah will
remove his sins for him as a tree sheds its leaves."

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ " لاَ بَأْسَ طَهُورٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ". فَقَالَ كَلاَّ بَلْ حُمَّى تَفُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ كَيْمَا تُزِيرَهُ الْقُبُورَ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَنَعَمْ إِذًا ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered upon sick man to pay him a visit, and said to him, "Don't worry, Allah willing,
(your sickness will be) an expiation for your sins." The man said, "No, it is but a fever that is boiling
within an old man and will send him to his grave." On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then yes, it is so."
The Prophet (ﷺ) rode a donkey having a saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet covering. He mounted me behind
him and went to visit Sa`d bin 'Ubada, and that had been before the battle of Badr. The Prophet (ﷺ)
proceeded till he passed by a gathering in which `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that
had been before `Abdullah embraced Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, i.e.,
isolators and Jews. `Abdullah bin Rawaha was also present in that gathering. When dust raised by the
donkey covered the gathering, `Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his upper garment and said,
"Do not trouble us with dust." The Prophet (ﷺ) greeted them, stopped and dismounted. Then he invited
them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses of the Holy Qur'an. On that,
`Abdullah bin Ubai said, "O man ! There is nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do not
trouble us with it in our gathering, but return to your house, and if somebody comes to you, teach him
there." On that `Abdullah bin Rawaha said, Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Bring your teachings to our
gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing each other till
they were about to fight. The Prophet (ﷺ) kept on quietening them till they became calm. Thereupon the
Prophet mounted his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Sa`d bin Ubada. He said to him "O
Sa`d! Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., `Abdullah bin Ubai) said?" Sa`d said, 'O Allah's
Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this
town (Medina decided unanimously to crown him and make him their chief by placing a turban on his
head, but when that was prevented by the Truth which Allah had given you he (`Abdullah bin Ubai)
was grieved out of jealously, and that was the reason which caused him to behave in the way you have
seen."

Narrated Ka`b bin 'Ujara:
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، وَأَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه. مَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ الْقِدْرِ فَقَالَ
" أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ ". قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. فَدَعَا الْحَلاَّقَ فَحَلَقَهُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَنِي بِالْفِدَاءِ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by me while I was kindling a fire under a (cooking) pot. He said, "Do the lice of
your head trouble you?" I said, "Yes." So he called a barber to shave my head and ordered me to make
expiation for that."
`Aisha, (complaining of headache) said, "Oh, my head"! Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I wish that had
happened while I was still living, for then I would ask Allah's Forgiveness for you and invoke Allah
for you." Aisha said, "Wa thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to die; and If this should happen,
you would spend the last part of the day sleeping with one of your wives!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Nay, I
should say, 'Oh my head!' I felt like sending for Abu Bakr and his son, and appoint him as my
successor lest some people claimed something or some others wished something, but then I said (to
myself), 'Allah would not allow it to be otherwise, and the Muslims would prevent it to be otherwise".

fever" He said, "Yes, as much fever as two me of you may have." I said. "you will have a double
reward?" He said, "Yes No Muslim is afflicted with hurt caused by disease or some other
inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins as a tree sheds its leaves."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to visit me during my ailment which had been aggravated during Hajjat-al-
Wada`. I said to him, "You see how sick I am. I have much property but have no heir except my only
daughter May I give two thirds of my property in charity?"! He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He
said, "No." I said "One third?" He said, "One third is too much, for to leave your heirs rich is better
than to leave them poor, begging of others. Nothing you spend seeking Allah's pleasure but you shall
get a reward for it, even for what you put in the mouth of your wife."

When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom
was `Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Come, let me write for you a statement after which you
will not go astray." `Umar said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the Book of
Allah is enough for us." The people present in the house differed and quarrelled. Some said "Go near
so that the Prophet (ﷺ) may write for you a statement after which you will not go astray," while the others
said as `Umar said. When they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Go
away!" Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn `Abbas used to say, "It was very unfortunate that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
was prevented from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and noise."

My aunt took me to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My nephew is- ill." The Prophet (ﷺ)
touched my head with his hand and invoked Allah to bless me. He then performed ablution and I
drank of the remaining water of his ablution and then stood behind his back and saw "Khatam An-
Nubuwwa" (The Seal of Prophethood) between his shoulders like a button of a tent.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" لاَ يَتَمَنَّيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ مِنْ ضُرٍّ أَصَابَهُ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لاَ بُدَّ فَاعِلاً فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you should wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he
has to wish for death, he should say: "O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and let
me die if death is better for me.' "
We went to pay a visit to Khabbab (who was sick) and he had been branded (cauterized) at seven
places in his body. He said, "Our companions who died (during the lifetime of the Prophet) left (this
world) without having their rewards reduced through enjoying the pleasures of this life, but we have
got (so much) wealth that we find no way to spend It except on the construction of buildings Had the
Prophet not forbidden us to wish for death, I would have wished for it.' We visited him for the second
time while he was building a wall. He said, A Muslim is rewarded (in the Hereafter) for whatever he
spends except for something that he spends on building."
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The good deeds of any person will not make him enter Paradise."
(i.e., None can enter Paradise through his good deeds.) They (the Prophet's companions) said, 'Not
even you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?' He said, "Not even myself, unless Allah bestows His favor and mercy
on me." So be moderate in your religious deeds and do the deeds that are within your ability: and none
of you should wish for death, for if he is a good doer, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an
evil doer, he may repent to Allah."

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to me while I was ill. He performed ablution and threw the remaining water on me
(or said, "Pour it on him) " When I came to my senses I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have no son or
father to be my heir, so how will be my inheritance?" Then the Verse of inheritance was revealed.
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal had a fever. I entered upon them and
said, "O my father! How are you? O Bilal! How are you?" Whenever Abu Bakr got the fever he used
to say, "Everybody is staying alive with his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces."
And when fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic verses): "Would that I could stay
overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of good smelling
grass). Would that one day I could drink of the water of Majinna, and would that Shama and Tafil
(two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me!" I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him about
that. He said, "O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca, and make it
healthy, and bless its Sa and its Mudd, and take away its fever and put it in Al-Juhfa." (See Hadith No

" إِنْ كَانَ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْ أَدْوِيَتِكُمْ ـ أَوْ يَكُونُ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْ أَدْوِيَتِكُمْ ـ خَيْرٌ فَفِي شَرْطَةِ مِحْجَمٍ، أَوْ شَرْبَةِ عَسَلٍ، أَوْ لَذْعَةٍ بِنَارٍ تُوَافِقُ الدَّاءَ، وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَكْتَوِيَ ".
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "If there is any healing in your medicines, then it is in cupping, a gulp of
honey or branding with fire (cauterization) that suits the ailment, but I don't like to be (cauterized)
branded with fire."
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "My brother has some Abdominal trouble." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to
him "Let him drink honey." The man came for the second time and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, 'Let him
drink honey." He came for the third time and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let him drink honey." He returned
again and said, "I have done that ' The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Allah has said the truth, but your brother's
`Abdomen has told a lie. Let him drink honey." So he made him drink honey and he was cured.
Some people were sick and they said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Give us shelter and food. So when they
became healthy they said, "The weather of Medina is not suitable for us." So he sent them to Al-Harra
with some she-camels of his and said, "Drink of their milk." But when they became healthy, they
killed the shepherd of the Prophet (ﷺ) and drove away his camels. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent some people in their
pursuit. Then he got their hands and feet cut and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron. I
saw one of them licking the earth with his tongue till he died.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ نَاسًا، اجْتَوَوْا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَلْحَقُوا بِرَاعِيهِ ـ يَعْنِي الإِبِلَ ـ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا، فَلَحِقُوا بِرَاعِيهِ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا، حَتَّى صَلَحَتْ أَبْدَانُهُمْ فَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَسَاقُوا الإِبِلَ، فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَعَثَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ، فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ، وَسَمَرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ. قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الْحُدُودُ.
The climate of Medina did not suit some people, so the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to follow his shepherd,
i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they followed the shepherd that is
the camels and drank their milk and urine till their bodies became healthy. Then they killed the
shepherd and drove away the camels. When the news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he sent some people in their
pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated
pieces of iron.
We went out and Ghalib bin Abjar was accompanying us. He fell ill on the way and when we arrived
at Medina he was still sick. Ibn Abi 'Atiq came to visit him and said to us, "Treat him with black
cumin. Take five or seven seeds and crush them (mix the powder with oil) and drop the resulting
mixture into both nostrils, for `Aisha has narrated to me that she heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'This black
cumin is healing for all diseases except As-Sam.' Aisha said, 'What is As-Sam?' He said, 'Death."

The Prophet (ﷺ) was cupped on his head for an ailment he was suffering from while he was in a state of
Ihram. at a water place called Lahl Jamal. Ibn `Abbas further said: Allah s Apostle was cupped on his
head for unilateral headache while he was in a state of Ihram .
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "If there is any good in your medicines, then it is in a gulp of honey, a
cupping operation, or branding (cauterization), but I do not like to be (cauterized) branded.
The Prophet (ﷺ) came to me during the period of Al-Hudaibiya, while I was lighting fire underneath a
cooking pot and lice were falling down my head. He said, "Do your lice hurt your?" I said, "Yes." He
said, "Shave your head and fast for three days or feed six poor persons or slaughter a sheep as a
sacrifice:"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If there is any healing in your medicines then it is a cupping operation, or branding
(cauterization), but I do not like to be (cauterized) branded."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Nations were displayed before me; one or two prophets would pass by along
with a few followers. A prophet would pass by accompanied by nobody. Then a big crowd of people
passed in front of me and I asked, Who are they Are they my followers?" It was said, 'No. It is Moses
and his followers It was said to me, 'Look at the horizon.'' Behold! There was a multitude of people
filling the horizon. Then it was said to me, 'Look there and there about the stretching sky! Behold!
There was a multitude filling the horizon,' It was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom seventy
thousand shall enter Paradise without reckoning.' "Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered his house without telling
his companions who they (the 70,000) were. So the people started talking about the issue and said, "It
is we who have believed in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those people are either
ourselves or our children who are born m the Islamic era, for we were born in the Pre-lslamic Period
of Ignorance.'' When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard of that, he came out and said. "Those people are those who do
not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or good omen (from birds etc.) nor do
they get themselves branded (Cauterized). but they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On that
'Ukasha bin Muhsin said. "Am I one of them, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes." Then
another person got up and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Ukasha has anticipated you."

dislikes the medicine as a patient usually does." But when he came to his senses he said, "Did I not
forbid you to put medicine (by force) in the side of my mouth?" We said, "We thought it was just
because a patient usually dislikes medicine." He said, "None of those who are in the house but will be
forced to take medicine in the side of his mouth while I am watching, except Al-`Abbas, for he had
not witnessed your deed."
I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with a a son of mine whose palate and tonsils I had pressed with my
finger as a treatment for a (throat and tonsil) disease. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why do you pain your
children by pressing their throats! Use Ud Al-Hindi (certain Indian incense) for it cures seven
diseases, one of which is pleurisy. It is used as a snuff for treating throat and tonsil disease and it is
inserted into one side of the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy."

When the health of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) deteriorated and his condition became serious, he asked the
permission of all his wives to allow him to be treated In my house, and they allowed him. He came
out, supported by two men and his legs were dragging on the ground between `Abbas and another
man. (The sub-narrator told Ibn `Abbas who said: Do you know who was the other man whom `Aisha
did not mention? The sub-narrator said: No. Ibn `Abbas said: It was `Ali.) `Aisha added: When the
Prophet entered my house and his disease became aggravated, he said, "Pour on me seven water skins
full of water (the tying ribbons of which had not been untied) so that I may give some advice to the

Allah's permission), nor Safar, nor Hama." A bedouin stood up and said, "Then what about my
camels? They are like deer on the sand, but when a mangy camel comes and mixes with them, they all
get infected with mangy." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then who conveyed the (mange) disease to the first
one?"
that she took to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) one of her sons whose palate and tonsils she had pressed to treat a
throat trouble. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Be afraid of Allah! Why do you pain your children by having their
tonsils pressed like that? Use the Ud Al-Hindi (a certain Indian incense) for it cures seven diseases,
one of which is pleurisy."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) allowed one of the Ansar families to treat persons who have taken poison and also
who are suffering from ear ailment with Ruqya. Anas added: I got myself branded cauterized) for
pleurisy, when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was still alive. Abu Talha, Anas bin An-Nadr and Zaid bin Thabit
witnessed that, and it was Abu Talha who branded (cauterized) me.

When the helmet broke on the head of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his face became covered with blood and his
incisor tooth broke (i.e. during the battle of Uhud), `Ali used to bring water in his shield while Fatima
was washing the blood off his face. When Fatima saw that the bleeding increased because of the
water, she took a mat (of palm leaves), burnt it, and stuck it (the burnt ashes) on the wound of Allah's
Apostle, whereupon the bleeding stopped.

Some people from the tribes of `Ukl and `Uraina came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and embraced Islam and
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are owners of livestock and have never been farmers," and they found
the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered that they be given some camels
and a shepherd, and ordered them to go out with those camels and drink their milk and urine. So they
set out, but when they reached a place called Al-Harra, they reverted to disbelief after their conversion
to Islam, killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When this news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he sent
in their pursuit (and they were caught and brought). The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that their eyes be branded
with heated iron bars and their hands be cut off, and they were left at Al-Harra till they died in that
state.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If you hear of an outbreak of plague in a land, do not enter it; but if the plague
breaks out in a place while you are in it, do not leave that place."
`Umar bin Al-Khattab departed for Sham and when he reached Sargh, the commanders of the
(Muslim) army, Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah and his companions met him and told him that an epidemic
had broken out in Sham. `Umar said, "Call for me the early emigrants." So `Umar called them,
consulted them and informed them that an epidemic had broken out in Sham.
Those people differed in their opinions. Some of them said, "We have come out for a purpose and we
do not think that it is proper to give it up," while others said (to `Umar), "You have along with you.
other people and the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) so do not advise that we take them to this
epidemic." `Umar said to them, "Leave me now." Then he said, "Call the Ansar for me." I called them
and he consulted them and they followed the way of the emigrants and differed as they did. He then
said to them, Leave me now," and added, "Call for me the old people of Quraish who emigrated in the
year of the Conquest of Mecca."
I called them and they gave a unanimous opinion saying, "We advise that you should return with the
people and do not take them to that (place) of epidemic." So `Umar made an announcement, "I will
ride back to Medina in the morning, so you should do the same." Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah said (to
`Umar), "Are you running away from what Allah had ordained?" `Umar said, "Would that someone
else had said such a thing, O Abu 'Ubaida! Yes, we are running from what Allah had ordained to what
Allah has ordained. Don't you agree that if you had camels that went down a valley having two places,
one green and the other dry, you would graze them on the green one only if Allah had ordained that,
and you would graze them on the dry one only if Allah had ordained that?"
At that time `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf, who had been absent because of some job, came and said, "I
have some knowledge about this. I have heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'If you hear about it (an
outbreak of plague) in a land, do not go to it; but if plague breaks out in a country where you are
staying, do not run away from it.' " `Umar thanked Allah and returned to Medina.
`Umar went to Sham and when he reached Sargh, he got the news that an epidemic (of plague) had
broken out in Sham. `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf told him that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If you hear that it
(plague) has broken out in a land, do not go to it; but if it breaks out in a land where you are present,
do not go out escaping from it."

Some of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) came across a tribe amongst the tribes of the Arabs, and that

(or stung by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Have you got any medicine
with you or anybody who can treat with Ruqya?" The Prophet's companions said, "You refuse to
entertain us, so we will not treat (your chief) unless you pay us for it." So they agreed to pay them a
flock of sheep. One of them (the Prophet's companions) started reciting Surat-al-Fatiha and gathering
his saliva and spitting it (at the snake-bite). The patient got cured and his people presented the sheep
to them, but they said, "We will not take it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful)." When
they asked him, he smiled and said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? Take it (flock
of sheep) and assign a share for me."

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "A good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan. So if anyone

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأُوَيْسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَوَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ نَفَثَ فِي كَفَّيْهِ بِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَبِالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ جَمِيعًا، ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ، وَمَا بَلَغَتْ يَدَاهُ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَلَمَّا اشْتَكَى كَانَ يَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ. قَالَ يُونُسُ كُنْتُ أَرَى ابْنَ شِهَابٍ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ إِذَا أَتَى إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ.
Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to bed, he used to recite Surat-al-Ikhlas, Surat-al-Falaq and Surat-an-
Nas and then blow on his palms and pass them over his face and those parts of his body that his hands
could reach. And when he fell ill, he used to order me to do like that for him.
A group of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) proceeded on a journey till they dismounted near one of
the Arab tribes and requested them to entertain them as their guests, but they (the tribe people) refused
to entertain them. Then the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and he
was given all sorts of treatment, but all in vain. Some of them said, "Will you go to the group (those
travelers) who have dismounted near you and see if one of them has something useful?" They came to
them and said, "O the group! Our leader has been bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and we
have treated him with everything but nothing benefited him Has anyone of you anything useful?" One
of them replied, "Yes, by Allah, I know how to treat with a Ruqya. But. by Allah, we wanted you to
receive us as your guests but you refused. I will not treat your patient with a Ruqya till you fix for us
something as wages." Consequently they agreed to give those travellers a flock of sheep. The man
went with them (the people of the tribe) and started spitting (on the bite) and reciting Surat-al-Fatiha
till the patient was healed and started walking as if he had not been sick. When the tribe people paid
them their wages they had agreed upon, some of them (the Prophet's companions) said, "Distribute
(the sheep)." But the one who treated with the Ruqya said, "Do not do that till we go to Allah's
Apostle and mention to him what has happened, and see what he will order us." So they came to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and mentioned the story to him and he said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is
a Ruqya? You have done the right thing. Divide (what you have got) and assign for me a share with
you."

The Prophet, during his fatal ailment used to blow (on his hands and pass them) over his body while
reciting the Mu'auwidhat (Surat-an-Nas and Surat-al-Falaq). When his disease got aggravated, I used
to recite them for him and blow (on his hands) and let him pass his hands over his body because of its
blessing. (Ma`mar asked Ibn Shihab: How did he use to do Nafth? He said: He used to blow on his
hands and then pass them over his face.)
The Prophet (ﷺ) once came out to us and said, "Some nations were displayed before me. A prophet would
pass in front of me with one man, and another with two men, and another with a group of people. and
another with nobody with him. Then I saw a great crowd covering the horizon and I wished that they
were my followers, but it was said to me, 'This is Moses and his followers.' Then it was said to me,
'Look'' I looked and saw a big gathering with a large number of people covering the horizon. It was
said, "Look this way and that way.' So I saw a big crowd covering the horizon. Then it was said to me,
"These are your followers, and among them there are 70,000 who will enter Paradise without (being
asked about their) accounts. " Then the people dispersed and the Prophet (ﷺ) did not tell who those 70,000
were. So the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) started talking about that and some of them said, "As regards
us, we were born in the era of heathenism, but then we believed in Allah and His Apostle . We think
however, that these (70,000) are our offspring." That talk reached the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, "These
(70,000) are the people who do not draw an evil omen from (birds) and do not get treated by branding
themselves and do not treat with Ruqya, but put their trust (only) in their Lord." then 'Ukasha bin
Muhsin got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Am I one of those (70,000)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes."
Then another person got up and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, " 'Ukasha has anticipated
you."

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ عَدْوَى، وَلاَ صَفَرَ، وَلاَ هَامَةَ ". فَقَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا بَالُ الإِبِلِ تَكُونُ فِي الرَّمْلِ كَأَنَّهَا الظِّبَاءُ، فَيُخَالِطُهَا الْبَعِيرُ الأَجْرَبُ فَيُجْرِبُهَا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَمَنْ أَعْدَى الأَوَّلَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'No 'Adwa (i.e. no contagious disease is conveyed to
others without Allah's permission); nor (any evil omen in the month of)
Safar; nor Hama" A bedouin said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about the
camels which, when on the sand (desert) look like deers, but when a
mangy camel mixes with them they all get infected with mange?" On that
Allah s Apostle said, "Then who conveyed the (mange) disease to the
first (mangy) camel?"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The cattle (sheep, cows, camels, etc.) suffering
from a disease should not be mixed up with healthy cattle, (or said:
"Do not put a patient with a healthy person ). " (as a precaution).

When Khaibar was conquered, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was presented with a poisoned (roasted) sheep. Allah's
Apostle said, "Collect for me all the Jews present in this area." (When they were gathered) Allah's
Apostle said to them, "I am going to ask you about something; will you tell me the truth?" They
replied, "Yes, O Abal-Qasim!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them, "Who is your father?" They said, "Our
father is so-and-so." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You have told a lie. for your father is so-and-so," They
said, "No doubt, you have said the truth and done the correct thing." He again said to them, "If I ask
you about something; will you tell me the truth?" They replied, "Yes, O Abal-Qasim! And if we
should tell a lie you will know it as you have known it regarding our father," Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then
asked, "Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They replied, "We will remain in the (Hell) Fire for a
while and then you (Muslims) will replace us in it" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them. ''You will abide in it
with ignominy. By Allah, we shall never replace you in it at all." Then he asked them again, "If I ask
you something, will you tell me the truth?" They replied, "Yes." He asked. "Have you put the poison
in this roasted sheep?" They replied, "Yes," He asked, "What made you do that?" They replied, "We
intended to learn if you were a liar in which case we would be relieved from you, and if you were a
prophet then it would not harm you."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever purposely throws himself from a mountain and kills himself, will be in
the (Hell) Fire falling down into it and abiding therein perpetually forever; and whoever drinks poison
and kills himself with it, he will be carrying his poison in his hand and drinking it in the (Hell) Fire
wherein he will abide eternally forever; and whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, will be
carrying that weapon in his hand and stabbing his `Abdomen with it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will
abide eternally forever."

The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the eating of wild animals having fangs. (Az-Zuhri said: I did not hear this
narration except when I went to Sham.) Al-Laith said: Narrated Yunus: I asked Ibn Shihab, "May we
perform the ablution with the milk of she-asses or drink it, or drink the bile of wild animals or urine of
camels?" He replied, "The Muslims used to treat themselves with that and did not see any harm in it.
As for the milk of she-asses, we have learnt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the eating of their meat, but
we have not received any information whether drinking of their milk is allowed or forbidden." As for
the bile of wild animals, Ibn Shihab said, "Abu Idris Al-Khaulani told me that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade
the eating of the flesh of every wild beast having fangs . "

two-rak`at prayer whereupon the eclipse was over and he traced us and said, "The sun and the moon
are two signs among the signs of Allah, so if you see a thing like this (eclipse) then offer the prayer
and invoke Allah till He remove that state."
I saw Bilal bringing a short spear (or stick) and fixing it in the ground, and then he proclaimed the
Iqama of the prayer, and I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) coming out, wearing a cloak with its sleeves rolled up.

The wife of Rifa`a Al-Qurazi came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while I was sitting, and Abu Bakr was also
there. She said, 'O Allah s Apostle! I was the wife of Rifa`a and he divorced me irrevocably. Then I
married `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair who, by Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), has only something like a
fringe of a garment, Showing the fringe of her veil. Khalid bin Sa`id, who was standing at the door,
for he had not been admitted, heard her statement and said, "O Abu Bakr! Why do you not stop this
lady from saying such things openly before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" No, by Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did
nothing but smiled. Then he said to the lady, "Perhaps you want to return to Rifa`a? That is impossible
unless `Abdur-Rahman consummates his marriage with you." That became the tradition after him.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أُبَىٍّ بَعْدَ مَا أُدْخِلَ قَبْرَهُ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ، وَوُضِعَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَنَفَثَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ رِيقِهِ، وَأَلْبَسَهُ قَمِيصَهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) came to visit `Abdullah bin Ubai (bin Salul) after he had been put in his grave. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that `Abdullah be taken out. He was taken out and was placed on the knees of the Prophet, who blew his (blessed) breath on him and dressed the body with his own shirt. And Allah knows better.
When `Abdullah bin Ubdi (bin Salul) died, his son came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said ' O Allah's
Apostle, give me your shirt so that I may shroud my fathers body in it. And please offer a funeral
prayer for him and invoke Allah for his forgiveness." The Prophet (ﷺ) gave him his shirt and said to him
'Inform us when you finish (and the funeral procession is ready) call us. When he had finished he told
the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded to order his funeral prayers but `Umar stopped him and said,
"Didn't Allah forbid you to offer the funeral prayer for the hypocrites when He said: "Whether you (O
Muhammad) ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness for them: (and even) if you ask
forgiveness for them seventy times. Allah will not forgive them." (9.80) Then there was revealed:
"And never (O Muhammad) pray for any of them that dies, nor stand at his grave." (9.34) Thenceforth
the Prophet (ﷺ) did not offer funeral prayers for the hypocrites.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has set forth an example for a miser and a charitable person by comparing them to two
men wearing two iron cloaks and their hands are raised to their breasts and necks. Whenever the
charitable man tries to give a charitable gift, his iron cloak expands till it becomes so wide that it will
cover his fingertips and obliterate his tracks And, whenever the miser wants to give a charitable gift,
his cloak becomes very tight over him and every ring gets stuck to its place Abu Huraira added; I saw
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) putting his finger in the (chest) pocket of his shirt like that If you but saw him trying
to widen (the opening of his shirt) but it did not widen.
The Prophet (ﷺ) went to answer the call of nature, and when he returned, I met him with water and he
performed the ablution while he was wearing a Sham, cloak. He rinsed his mouth, put the water in his
nose and blew it out, washed his face and tried to take his hands out of his sleeves, but they were too
narrow, so he took out his hands from under his chest and washed them and then passed his wet hands
over his head and Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather).
One night I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey. He asked (me), "Have you got water with you?" I
replied, "Yes" So he got down from his she-camel and went away till he disappeared in the darkness
of the night. Then he came back and I poured water for him from the pot (for the ablution). He washed
his face and hands while he was wearing a woollen cloak (the sleeves of which were narrow), so he
could not take his arms out of it. So he took them out from underneath the cloak. Then he washed his
forearms and passed his wet hands over his head. Then I tried to take off his Khuffs (socks made from
thick fabric or leather), but he said, "Leave them, for I have performed ablution before putting them
on." And so he passed his wet hands over them.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) distributed some Qaba's but he did not give anything to Makhrama. Makhrama said
(to me), "O my son! Let us go to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." So I proceeded with him and he said, "Go in and
call him 'or me." So I called the Prophet (ﷺ) for him The Prophet (ﷺ) came out to him, wearing one of those
Qaba's and said, (to Makhrama), "I have kept this for you " Makhrama looked at it and said,
"Makhrama is satisfied now."

A silken Farruj was presented to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he put it on and offered the prayer in it. When he
finished the prayer, he took it off violently as if he disliked it and said, "This (garment) does not befit
those who fear Allah!"
A man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). What type of clothes should a Muhrim wear Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied,
'Do not wear shirts, turbans trousers hooded cloaks or Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or

the ankles. Do not wear clothes touched by saffon or wars (two kinds of perfumes).

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ إِزَارًا فَلْيَلْبَسْ سَرَاوِيلَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ نَعْلَيْنِ فَلْيَلْبَسْ خُفَّيْنِ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever cannot get an Izar, can wear trousers, and whoever cannot wear sandals
can wear Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather)."
A man got up and said, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What do you order us to wear when we assume the state of
Ihram?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Do not wear shirts, trousers, turbans, hooded cloaks or Khuffs (socks
made from thick fabric or leather), but if a man has no sandals, he can wear Khuffs after cutting them
short below the ankles; and do not wear clothes touched with (perfumes) of saffron or wars."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A Muhrim should not wear a shirt, a turban, trousers, hooded cloaks, a garment
touched with (perfumes) of saffron or wars, or Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather) except
if one has no sandals in which case he should cut short the Khuffs below the ankles."
Some Muslim men emigrated to Ethiopia whereupon Abu Bakr also prepared himself for the
emigration, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Wait, for I hope that Allah will allow me also to emigrate."
Abu Bakr said, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you. Do you hope that (emigration)?" The
Prophet said, 'Yes." So Abu Bakr waited to accompany the Prophet (ﷺ) and fed two she-camels he had on
the leaves of As-Samur tree regularly for four months One day while we were sitting in our house at
midday, someone said to Abu Bakr, "Here is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), coming with his head and a part of his
face covered with a cloth-covering at an hour he never used to come to us."
Abu Bakr said, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you, (O Prophet)! An urgent matter must
have brought you here at this hour." The Prophet (ﷺ) came and asked the permission to enter, and he was
allowed. The Prophet (ﷺ) entered and said to Abu Bakr, "Let those who are with you, go out." Abu Bakr
replied, "(There is no stranger); they are your family. Let my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah's
Apostle!"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been allowed to leave (Mecca)." Abu Bakr said, " I shall accompany you, O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), Let my father be sacrificed for you!"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes,"
Abu Bakr said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s! Let my father be sacrificed for you. Take one of these two shecamels
of mine" The Prophet (ﷺ) said. I will take it only after paying its price."
So we prepared their baggage and put their journey food In a leather bag. And Asma' bint Abu Bakr
cut a piece of her girdle and tied the mouth of the leather bag with it. That is why she was called Dhatan-
Nitaqaln. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr went to a cave in a mountain called Thour and remained
there for three nights. `Abdullah bin Abu Bakr. who was a young intelligent man. used to stay with
them at night and leave before dawn so that in the morning, he would he with the Quraish at Mecca as
if he had spent the night among them. If he heard of any plot contrived by the Quraish against the
Prophet and Abu Bakr, he would understand it and (return to) inform them of it when it became dark.
'Amir bin Fuhaira, the freed slave of Abu Bakr used to graze a flock of milch sheep for them and he
used to take those sheep to them when an hour had passed after the `Isha prayer. They would sleep
soundly till 'Amir bin Fuhaira awakened them when it was still dark. He used to do that in each of
those three nights.

Once I was walking with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he was wearing a Najram Burd with thick margin. A
bedouin followed him and pulled his Burd so violently that I noticed the side of the shoulder of
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) affected by the margin of the Burd because of that violent pull. The Bedouin said, "O
Muhammad! Give me some of Allah's wealth which is with you." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) turned and looked
at him, and smiling, 'he ordered that he be given something.
Shahl bin Sa`d said, "A lady came with a Burda. Sahl then asked (the people), "Do you know what
Burda is?" Somebody said, "Yes. it is a Shamla with a woven border." Sahl added, "The lady said, 'O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have knitted this (Burda) with my own hands for you to wear it." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
took it and he was in need of it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out to us and he was wearing it as an Izar. A
man from the people felt it and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Give it to me to wear.' The Prophet (ﷺ) s said,
'Yes.' Then he sat there for some time (and when he went to his house), he folded it and sent it to him.
The people said to that man, 'You have not done a right thing. You asked him for it, though you know
that he does not put down anybody's request.' The man said, 'By Allah! I have only asked him so that
it may be my shroud when I die." Sahl added, "Late it was his shroud."
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying "From among my followers, a group (o 70,000) will enter Paradise
without being asked for their accounts, Their faces will be shining like the moon." 'Ukasha bin
Muhsin Al-Asadi got up, lifting his covering sheet and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Invoke Allah for me
that He may include me with them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said! "O Allah! Make him from them." Then another
man from Al-Ansar got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah for me that He may include me
with them." On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "'Ukasha has anticipated you."

(the wife of the Prophet) When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died, he was covered with a Hibra Burd (green square
decorated garment).
When the disease of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got aggravated, he covered his face with a Khamisa, but when he
became short of breath, he would remove it from his face and say, "It is like that! May Allah curse the
Jews Christians because they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship." By that he
warned his follower of imitating them, by doing that which they did.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered prayer while he was wearing a Khamisa of his that had printed marks. He
looked at its marks and when he finished prayer, he said, "Take this Khamisa of mine to Abu Jahm,
for it has just now diverted my attention from my prayer, and bring to me the Anbijania (a plain thick

The Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden: (A) the Mulamasa and Munabadha (bargains), (B) the offering of two
prayers, one after the morning compulsory prayer till the sun rises, and the others, after the `Asr
prayer till the sun sets (C) He also forbade that one should sit wearing one garment, nothing of which
covers his private parts (D) and prevent them from exposure to the sky; (E) he also forbade Ishtimalas-
Samma'.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade two ways of wearing clothes and two kinds of dealings. (A) He forbade the
dealings of the Mulamasa and the Munabadha. In the Mulamasa transaction the buyer just touches the
garment he wants to buy at night or by daytime, and that touch would oblige him to buy it. In the
Munabadha, one man throws his garment at another and the latter throws his at the former and the
barter is complete and valid without examining the two objects or being satisfied with them (B) The
two ways of wearing clothes were Ishtimal-as-Samma, i e., to cover one's shoulder with one's garment
and leave the other bare: and the other way was to wrap oneself with a garment while one was sitting
in such a way that nothing of that garment would cover one's private part.

Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said
that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed
her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so
when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came, `Aisha said, "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the
believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" When `AbdurRahman heard that his
wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from another wife. She said, "By Allah! I
have done no wrong to him but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding and showing
the fringe of her garment, `Abdur-Rahman said, "By Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! She has told a lie! I am
very strong and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go back to Rifa`a." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, to her, "If that is your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to remarry Rifa`a unless
`Abdur-Rahman has had sexual intercourse with you." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) saw two boys with `Abdur-
Rahman and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that `AbdurRahman said, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "You claim what you claim (i.e.. that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble him as
a crow resembles a crow,"

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْنَا عُمَرُ وَنَحْنُ بِأَذْرَبِيجَانَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنْ لُبْسِ الْحَرِيرِ إِلاَّ هَكَذَا، وَصَفَّ لَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِصْبَعَيْهِ. وَرَفَعَ زُهَيْرٌ الْوُسْطَى وَالسَّبَّابَةَ.
While we were at Adharbijan, `Umar wrote to us: 'Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade wearing silk except this
much. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) approximated his two fingers (index and middle fingers) (to illustrate that) to
us.' Zuhair (the sub-narrator) raised up his middle and index fingers.

Narrated Abu `Uthman:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ عُتْبَةَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" لاَ يُلْبَسُ الْحَرِيرُ فِي الدُّنْيَا، إِلاَّ لَمْ يُلْبَسْ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنْهُ ".
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ،، وَأَشَارَ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ الْمُسَبِّحَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى.
While we were with `Utba. `Umar wrote to us: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is none who wears silk in this
world except that he will wear nothing of it in the Hereafter." ' Abu `Uthman pointed out with his
middle and index fingers.
This hadith has also been narrated by Abu `Uthman.
While Hudhaifa was at Al-Madain, he asked for water whereupon the chief of the village brought him
water in a silver cup. Hudhaifa threw it at him and said, "I have thrown it only because I have
forbidden him to use it, but he does not stop using it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Gold, silver, silk and Dibaj
(a kind of silk) are for them (unbelievers) in this world and for you (Muslims) in the hereafter.'

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ رَأَى حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ تُبَاعُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ ابْتَعْتَهَا، تَلْبَسُهَا لِلْوَفْدِ إِذَا أَتَوْكَ وَالْجُمُعَةِ. قَالَ " إِنَّمَا يَلْبَسُ هَذِهِ مَنْ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُ ". وَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعَثَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عُمَرَ حُلَّةَ سِيَرَاءَ حَرِيرٍ، كَسَاهَا إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ كَسَوْتَنِيهَا وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ فِيهَا مَا قُلْتَ فَقَالَ " إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ لِتَبِيعَهَا أَوْ تَكْسُوَهَا ".
`Umar saw a silk suit being sold, so he said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why don't you buy it so that you may
wear it when delegates come to you, and also on Fridays?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This is worn only by
him who has no share in the Hereafter." Afterwards the Prophet (ﷺ) sent to `Umar a silk suit suitable for
wearing. `Umar said to the Prophet, "You have given it to me to wear, yet I have heard you saying
about it what you said?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I sent it to you so that you might either sell it or give it to
somebody else to wear."

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَبِثْتُ سَنَةً وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْمَرْأَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ تَظَاهَرَتَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَعَلْتُ أَهَابُهُ، فَنَزَلَ يَوْمًا مَنْزِلاً فَدَخَلَ الأَرَاكَ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ سَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ ـ ثُمَّ قَالَ ـ كُنَّا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لاَ نَعُدُّ النِّسَاءَ شَيْئًا، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الإِسْلاَمُ وَذَكَرَهُنَّ اللَّهُ، رَأَيْنَا لَهُنَّ بِذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا حَقًّا، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ نُدْخِلَهُنَّ فِي شَىْءٍ مِنْ أُمُورِنَا، وَكَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتِي كَلاَمٌ فَأَغْلَظَتْ لِي فَقُلْتُ لَهَا وَإِنَّكِ لَهُنَاكِ. قَالَتْ تَقُولُ هَذَا لِي وَابْنَتُكَ تُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَتَيْتُ حَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا إِنِّي أُحَذِّرُكِ أَنْ تَعْصِي اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ. وَتَقَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْهَا فِي أَذَاهُ، فَأَتَيْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا. فَقَالَتْ أَعْجَبُ مِنْكَ يَا عُمَرُ قَدْ دَخَلْتَ فِي أُمُورِنَا، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَزْوَاجِهِ، فَرَدَّدَتْ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ إِذَا غَابَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَشَهِدْتُهُ أَتَيْتُهُ بِمَا يَكُونُ، وَإِذَا غِبْتُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَشَهِدَ أَتَانِي بِمَا يَكُونُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَانَ مَنْ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدِ اسْتَقَامَ لَهُ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلاَّ مَلِكُ غَسَّانَ بِالشَّأْمِ، كُنَّا نَخَافُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنَا، فَمَا شَعَرْتُ إِلاَّ بِالأَنْصَارِيِّ وَهْوَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ. قُلْتُ لَهُ وَمَا هُوَ أَجَاءَ الْغَسَّانِيُّ قَالَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَاكَ، طَلَّقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نِسَاءَهُ. فَجِئْتُ فَإِذَا الْبُكَاءُ مِنْ حُجَرِهَا كُلِّهَا، وَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ صَعِدَ فِي مَشْرُبَةٍ لَهُ، وَعَلَى باب الْمَشْرُبَةِ وَصِيفٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ اسْتَأْذِنْ لِي. فَدَخَلْتُ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى حَصِيرٍ قَدْ أَثَّرَ فِي جَنْبِهِ، وَتَحْتَ رَأْسِهِ مِرْفَقَةٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ، حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ، وَإِذَا أُهُبٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ وَقَرَظٌ، فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي قُلْتُ لِحَفْصَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، وَالَّذِي رَدَّتْ عَلَىَّ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ، فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَبِثَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ.
For one year I wanted to ask `Umar about the two women who helped each other against the Prophet (ﷺ)
but I was afraid of him. One day he dismounted his riding animal and went among the trees of Arak to
answer the call of nature, and when he returned, I asked him and he said, "(They were) `Aisha and
Hafsa." Then he added, "We never used to give significance to ladies in the days of the Pre-lslamic
period of ignorance, but when Islam came and Allah mentioned their rights, we used to give them
their rights but did not allow them to interfere in our affairs.
Once there was some dispute between me and my wife and she answered me back in a loud voice. I
said to her, 'Strange! You can retort in this way?' She said, 'Yes. Do you say this to me while your
daughter troubles Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?' So I went to Hafsa and said to her, 'I warn you not to disobey
Allah and His Apostle.' I first went to Hafsa and then to Um Salama and told her the same. She said to
me, 'O `Umar! It surprises me that you interfere in our affairs so much that you would poke your nose
even into the affairs of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his wives.' So she rejected my advice. There was an Ansari
man; whenever he was absent from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and I was present there, I used to convey to him
what had happened (on that day), and when I was absent and he was present there, he used to convey
to me what had happened as regards news from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) .
During that time all the rulers of the nearby lands had surrendered to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) except the king
of Ghassan in Sham, and we were afraid that he might attack us. All of a sudden the Ansari came and
said, 'A great event has happened!' I asked him, 'What is it? Has the Ghassani (king) come?' He said,
'Greater than that! Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has divorced his wives! I went to them and found all of them
weeping in their dwellings, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had ascended to an upper room of his. At the door of the
room there was a slave to whom I went and said, "Ask the permission for me to enter." He admitted
me and I entered to see the Prophet (ﷺ) lying on a mat that had left its imprint on his side. Under his head
there was a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. Behold! There were some hides hanging there and
some grass for tanning. Then I mentioned what I had said to Hafsa and Um Salama and what reply
Um Salama had given me. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and stayed there for twenty nine days and then
came down." (See Hadith No. 648, Vol. 3 for details)
One night the Prophet (ﷺ) woke up, saying, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah! How many
afflictions have been sent down tonight, and how many treasures have been sent down (disclosed)!
Who will go and wake up (for prayers) the lady dwellers of these rooms? Many well dressed soul
(people) in this world, will be naked on the Day of Resurrection."
Some clothes were presented to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as a gift and there was a black Khamisa with it. The
Prophet asked (his companions), "To whom do you suggest we give this Khamisa?" The people kept
quiet. Then he said, "Bring me Um Khalid," So I was brought to him and he dressed me with it with
his own hands and said twice, "May you live so long that you will wear out many garments." He then
started looking at the embroidery of that Khamisa and said, "O Um Khalid! This is Sana!" (Sana in
Ethiopian language means beautiful.) 'Is-haq, a sub-narrator, said: A woman of my family had told me
that she had seen the Khamisa worn by Um Khalid.
