Narrated Abu Huraira: A man entered the mosque and started praying while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting somewhere in the
mosque. Then (after finishing the prayer) the man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and greeted him. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said to him, “Go back and pray, for you have not prayed. The man went back, and having prayed, he
came and greeted the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) after returning his greetings said, “Go back and pray, for
you did not pray.” On the third time the man said, “(O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!) teach me (how to pray).” The
Prophet said, “When you get up for the prayer, perform the ablution properly and then face the Qibla
and say Takbir (Allahu Akbar), and then recite of what you know of the Qur’an, and then bow, and
remain in this state till you feel at rest in bowing, and then raise your head and stand straight; and then
prostrate till you feel at rest in prostration, and then sit up till you feel at rest while sitting; and then
prostrate again till you feel at rest in prostration; and then get up and stand straight, and do all this in
all your prayers.”

Narrated Anas: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) took an oath for abstention from his wives (for one month), and during those days he
had a sprain in his foot. He stayed in a Mashrubah (an upper room) for twenty-nine nights and then
came down. Then the people said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! You took an oath for abstention (from your
wives) for one month.” On that he said, “A (lunar) month can be of twenty-nine days.”

Narrated `Aisha: When the pagans were defeated during the (first stage) of the battle of Uhud, Satan shouted, “O
Allah’s slaves! Beware of what is behind you!” So the front files of the Muslims attacked their own
back files. Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman looked and on seeing his father he shouted: “My father! My
father!” By Allah! The people did not stop till they killed his father. Hudhaifa then said, “May Allah
forgive you.” `Urwa (the sub-narrator) added, “Hudhaifa continued asking Allah forgiveness for the
killers of his father till he met Allah (till he died).

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If somebody eats something forgetfully while he is fasting, then he should
complete his fast, for Allah has made him eat and drink.”

Narrated `Abdullah bin Buhaina: Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) led us in prayer, and after finishing the first two rak`at, got up (instead of sitting
for at-Tahiyyat) and then carried on with the prayer. When he had finished his prayer, the people were
waiting for him to say Taslim, but before saying Tasiim, he said Takbir and prostrated; then he raised
his head, and saying Takbir, he prostrated (SAHU) and then raised his head and finished his prayer
with Taslim.

Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: that Allah’s Prophet led them in the Zuhr prayer and he offered either more or less rak`at, and it was
said to him, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ! Has the prayer been reduced, or have you forgotten?” He asked,
“What is that?” They said, “You have prayed so many rak`at.” So he performed with them two more
prostrations and said, “These two prostrations are to be performed by the person who does not know
whether he has prayed more or less (rak`at) in which case he should seek to follow what is right. And
then complete the rest (of the prayer) and perform two extra prostrations.”

Narrated Ubai bin Ka’b: that he heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “(Moses) said, ‘Call me not to
account for what I forget and be not hard upon me for my affair (with
you)’ (18.73) the first excuse of Moses was his forgetfulness.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Any Muslim who has lost three of his children will not be touched by the Fire
except that which will render Allah’s oath fulfilled.”

Narrated Haritha bin Wahb: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “Shall I tell you of the people of Paradise? They comprise every poor
humble person, and if he swears by Allah to do something, Allah will fulfill it; while the people of the
fire comprise every violent, cruel arrogant person.”

Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked, “Who are the best people?” He replied: The people of my generation, and
then those who will follow (come after) them, and then those who will come after the later; after that
there will come some people whose witness will precede their oaths and their oaths will go ahead of
their witness.” Ibrahim (a sub-narrator) said, “When we were young, our elder friends used to prohibit
us from taking oaths by saying, ‘I bear witness swearing by Allah, or by Allah’s Covenant.”‘
