Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the
camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Waihaka
(May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels
(women)!”

(the daughter of Abu Talib) I visited Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in the year of the Conquest of Mecca and found
him taking a bath, and his daughter, Fatima was screening him. When I greeted him, he said, “Who is
it?” I replied, “I am Um Hani, the daughter of Abu Talib.” He said, “Welcome, O Um Hani ! ” When
the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his bath, he stood up and offered eight rak`at of prayer while he was wrapped
in a single garment. When he had finished his prayer, I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! My maternal brother
assumes (or claims) that he will murder some man whom I have given shelter, i.e., so-and-so bin
Hubaira.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “O Um Hani! We shelter him whom you have sheltered.” Um Hani
added, “That happened in the forenoon.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man driving a Badana (a camel for sacrifice) and said (to him). “Ride it.” The man
said, “It is a Bandana.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Ride on it.” The man said, “It is a Bandana.” The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, Ride on it, woe to you!”

Allah, the brother of Abu Al-Qu’ais asked my permission to enter after the verses of Al-Hijab (veiling
the ladies) was revealed, and I said, “By Allah, I will not admit him unless I take permission of Allah’s
Apostle for it was not the brother of Al-Qu’ais who had suckled me, but it was the wife of Al-Qu’ais,
who had suckled me.” Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) entered upon me, and I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! The man
has not nursed me but his wife has nursed me.” He said, “Admit him because he is your uncle (not
from blood relation, but because you have been nursed by his wife), Taribat Yaminuki.” `Urwa said,
“Because of this reason, ‘ Aisha used to say: Foster suckling relations render all those things
(marriages etc.) illegal which are illegal because of the corresponding blood relations.” (See Hadith
No. 36, Vol. 7)

The Prophet (ﷺ) intended to return home after the performance of the Hajj, and he saw Safiya standing at
the entrance of her tent, depressed and sad because she got her menses. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Aqra
Halqa! –An expression used in the Quraish dialect–“You will detain us.” The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked
(her), “Did you perform the Tawaf Al-Ifada on the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhul-Hijja)?” She said,
“Yes.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Then you can leave (with us).

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “It is better for a man to fill the inside of his body with pus than to fill it with
poetry.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ); said, “It is better for anyone of you that the inside of his body be filled with pus
which may consume his body, than it be filled with poetry.”

that he heard Hassan bin Thabit Al-Ansari asking the witness of Abu Huraira, saying, “O Abu-
Huraira! I beseech you by Allah (to tell me). Did you hear Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying’ ‘O Hassan ! Reply
on behalf of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). O Allah ! Support him (Hassan) with the Holy Spirit (Gabriel).’?” Abu
Huraira said, “Yes.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Hassan, “Lampoon them (the pagans) in verse, and Gabriel is with you.”

Hassan bin Thabit asked the permission of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) to lampoon the pagans (in verse). Allah’s
Apostle said, “What about my fore-fathers (ancestry)?’ Hassan said (to the Prophet) “I will take you
out of them as a hair is taken out of dough.”
Narrated Hisham bin `Urwa that his father said, “I called Hassan with bad names in front of `Aisha.”
She said, “Don’t call him with bad names because he used to defend Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (against the
pagans).
