The Prophet (ﷺ) divided and distributed something as he used to do for some of his distributions. A man
from the Ansar said, “By Allah, in this division the pleasure of Allah has not been intended.” I said, “I
will definitely tell this to the Prophet (ﷺ) .” So I went to him while he was sitting with his companions and
told him of it secretly. That was hard upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and the color of his face changed, and he
became so angry that I wished I had not told him. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, “Moses was harmed with
more than this, yet he remained patient.”

From among the people, Ibn Um `Abd greatly resembled Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)s in solemn gate and good
appearance of piety and in calmness and sobriety from the time he goes out of his house till he returns
to it. But we do not know how he behaves with his family when he is alone with them.

`Abdullah said, “The best talk is Allah’s Book (Qur’an), and the best guidance is the guidance of
Muhammad.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The signs of a hypocrite are three: Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie; and
whenever he promises, he breaks his promise; and whenever he is entrusted, he betrays (proves to be
dishonest)”.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I saw (in a dream), two men came to me.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) narrated the story
(saying), “They said, ‘The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to
the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those lies on his authority till they
spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection.”‘

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) on a Friday while he (the Prophet) was delivering a sermon at Medina, and
said, “There is lack of rain, so please invoke your Lord to bless us with the rain.” The Prophet (ﷺ) looked
at the sky when no cloud could be detected. Then he invoked Allah for rain. Clouds started gathering
together and it rained till the Medina valleys started flowing with water. It continued raining till the
next Friday. Then that man (or some other man) stood up while the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the Friday
sermon, and said, “We are drowned; Please invoke your Lord to withhold it (rain) from us” The
Prophet smiled and said twice or thrice, “O Allah! Please let it rain round about us and not upon us.”
The clouds started dispersing over Medina to the right and to the left, and it rained round about
Medina and not upon Medina. Allah showed them (the people) the miracle of His Prophet and His
response to his invocation.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a
man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e.
wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on
telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar.”

Um Sulaim said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Verily Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it essential
for a woman to take a bath after she had a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?” He said, “Yes, if
she notices discharge. On that Um Salama laughed and said, “Does a woman get a (nocturnal sexual)
discharge?” He said, “How then does (her) son resemble her (his mother)?”

I never saw the Prophet (ﷺ) laughing to an extent that one could see his palate, but he always used to
smile only.

While I was going along with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) who was wearing a Najrani Burd (sheet) with a thick
border, a bedouin overtook the Prophet (ﷺ) and pulled his Rida’ (sheet) forcibly. I looked at the side of the
shoulder of the Prophet (ﷺ) and noticed that the edge of the Rida’ had left a mark on it because of the
violence of his pull. The bedouin said, “O Muhammad! Order for me some of Allah’s property which
you have.” The Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards him, (smiled) and ordered that he be given something.
