(the wife of the Prophet) “I do not remember my parents believing in any religion other than the
Religion (of Islam), and our being visited by Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in the morning and in the evening. One
day, while we were sitting in the house of Abu Bakr (my father) at noon, someone said, ‘This is
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) coming at an hour at which he never used to visit us.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘There must be
something very urgent that has brought him at this hour.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘I have been allowed to go
out (of Mecca) to migrate.’ ”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Do not hate one another, nor be jealous of one another; and do not desert one
another, but O Allah’s worshipers! Be Brothers! And it is unlawful for a Muslim to desert his brother
Muslim (and not to talk to him) for more than three nights.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “It is not lawful for a man to desert his brother Muslim for more than three
nights. (It is unlawful for them that) when they meet, one of them turns his face away from the other,
and the other turns his face from the former, and the better of the two will be the one who greets the
other first.”

(the wife of the Prophet) that she was told that `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (on hearing that she was
selling or giving something as a gift) said, “By Allah, if `Aisha does not give up this, I will declare her
incompetent to dispose of her wealth.” I said, “Did he (`Abdullah bin Az-Zubair) say so?” They
(people) said, “Yes.” `Aisha said, “I vow to Allah that I will never speak to Ibn Az-Zubair.” When this
desertion lasted long, `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair sought intercession with her, but she said, “By Allah, I
will not accept the intercession of anyone for him, and will not commit a sin by breaking my vow.”
When this state of affairs was prolonged on Ibn Az-Zubair (he felt it hard on him), he said to Al-
Miswar bin Makhrama and `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin ‘Abu Yaghuth, who were from the tribe
of Bani Zahra, “I beseech you, by Allah, to let me enter upon `Aisha, for it is unlawful for her to vow
to cut the relation with me.”
So Al-Miswar and `Abdur-Rahman, wrapping their sheets around themselves, asked `Aisha’s
permission saying, “Peace and Allah’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you! Shall we come in?” `Aisha
said, “Come in.” They said, “All of us?” She said, “Yes, come in all of you,” not knowing that Ibn Az-
Zubair was also with them. So when they entered, Ibn Az-Zubair entered the screened place and got
hold of `Aisha and started requesting her to excuse him, and wept. Al-Miswar and `Abdur Rahman
also started requesting her to speak to him and to accept his repentance.
They said (to her), “The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade what you know of deserting (not speaking to your Muslim
Brethren), for it is unlawful for any Muslim not to talk to his brother for more than three nights
(days).” So when they increased their reminding her (of the superiority of having good relation with
Kith and kin, and of excusing others’ sins), and brought her down to a critical situation, she started
reminding them, and wept, saying, “I have made a vow, and (the question of) vow is a difficult one.”
They (Al-Miswar and `Abdur-Rahman) persisted in their appeal till she spoke with `Abdullah bin Az-
Zubair and she manumitted forty slaves as an expiation for her vow. Later on, whenever she
remembered her vow, she used to weep so much that her veil used to become wet with her tears.

Al-Khuzai: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Shall I inform you about the people of
Paradise? They comprise every obscure unimportant humble person, and
if he takes Allah’s Oath that he will do that thing, Allah will
fulfill his oath (by doing that). Shall I inform you about the people
of the Fire? They comprise every cruel, violent, proud and conceited
person.”

Anas bin Malik said, “Any of the female slaves of Medina
could take hold of the hand of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and take him wherever
she wished.”

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying. “All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the
Mujahirin (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people). An example of such
disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens it from the public, then he
comes in the morning, and says, ‘O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,’ though he
spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes
Allah’s screen from himself.”

A man asked Ibn `Umar, “What did you hear Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying regarding An-Najwa (secret talk
between Allah and His believing worshipper on the Day of Judgment)?” He said, “(The Prophet (ﷺ) said),
“One of you will come close to his Lord till He will shelter him in His screen and say: Did you
commit such-and-such sin? He will say, ‘Yes.’ Then Allah will say: Did you commit such and such
sin? He will say, ‘Yes.’ So Allah will make him confess (all his sins) and He will say, ‘I screened them
(your sins) for you in the world, and today I forgive them for you.”‘

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I do not think that so-and-so and so-and-so know anything of our religion.” (And
Al-Laith said, “These two persons were among the hypocrites.”)
