During the life-time of the Prophet (ﷺ) I built a house with my own hands so that it might protect me from
the rain and shade me from the sun; and none of Allah’s creatures assisted me in building it.

Ibn ‘Abbas was asked, “How old were you when
the Prophet (ﷺ) died?” He replied. “At that time I had been circumcised.”
At that time, people did not circumcise the boys till they attained
the age of puberty. Sa’id bin Jubair said, “Ibn ‘Abbas said, ‘When the
Prophet died, I had already been circumcised. ”

Sa’id ibn Jubair said, “Ibn ‘Abbas said, ‘When the Prophet (ﷺ) died, I had already been circumcised.’ ”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said “Five things are in accordance with Al Fitra (i.e. the tradition of prophets): to be
circumcised, to shave the pelvic region, to pull out the hair of the armpits, to cut short the moustaches,
and to clip the nails.’

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said “The Prophet) Abraham circumcised himself after
he had passed the age of eighty years and he circumcised himself with
an adze.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “(At bedtime) cover the utensils, close the doors, and put out the lights, lest the
evil creature (the rat) should pull away the wick and thus burn the people of the house.”

Allah s Apostle said, “When you intend going to bed at night, put out the lights, close the doors, tie
the mouths of the water skins, and cover your food and drinks.” Hamrnam said, “I think he (the other
narrator) added, ‘even with piece of wood across the utensil.’

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

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.”

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.”
