Narrated `Aisha: Mother of the Believers: We, the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) were all sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) and none of us
had left when Fatima came walking, and by Allah, her gait was very similar to that of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
.’ When he saw her, he welcomed her, saying, “Welcome, O my daughter!” Then he made her sit on
his right or his left, confided something to her, whereupon she wept bitterly. When he noticed her
sorrow, he confided something else to her for the second time, and she started laughing. Only I from
among the Prophet’s wives said to her, “(O Fatima), Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) selected you from among us for
the secret talk and still you weep?” When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) got up (and went away), I asked her, “What
did he confide to you?” She said, “I wouldn’t disclose the secrets of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)” But when he died
I asked her, “I beseech you earnestly by what right I have on you, to tell me (that secret talk which the
Prophet had with you)” She said, “As you ask me now, yes, (I will tell you).” She informed me,
saying, “When he talked to me secretly the first time, he said that Gabriel used to review the Qur’an
with him once every year.
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 (ﷺ) 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?”)

Narrated the uncle of `Abbas bin Tamim: I saw Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) lying on his back in the mosque and putting one of his legs over the other.

Narrated `Abdullah: the Prophet (ﷺ) said “When three persons are together, then no two of them should hold secret counsel
excluding the third person.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (ﷺ) confided to me a secret which I did not disclose to anybody after him. And Um Sulaim
asked me (about that secret) but I did not tell her.

Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When you are three persons sitting together, then no two of you should hold secret
counsel excluding the third person until you are with some other people too, for that would grieve
him.”

Narrated `Abdullah: One day the Prophet (ﷺ) divided and distributed something amongst the people whereupon an Ansari man
said, “In this division Allah’s Countenance has not been sought.” I said, “By Allah! I will go (and
inform) the Prophet.” 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.”

Narrated Anas: The Iqama for the prayer was announced while a man was talking to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) privately. He
continued talking in that way till the Prophet’s companions slept, and afterwards the Prophet (ﷺ) got up
and offered the prayer with them.

Narrated Salim’s father: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not keep the fire burning in your houses when you go to bed.”

Narrated `Aisha: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to offer his prayer (while standing) in the midst of the bed, and I used to lie in
front of him between him and the Qibla It I had any necessity for getting up and I used to dislike to get
up and face him (while he was in prayer), but I would gradually slip away from the bed.

Narrated Abu Musa: One night a house in Medina was burnt with its occupants. The Prophet (ﷺ) spoke about them, saying,
“This fire is indeed your enemy, so whenever you go to bed, put it out to protect yourselves.”
