Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Recite (and study) the Qur’an as long as you are in agreement as to its
interpretation and meanings, but when you have differences regarding its interpretation and meanings,
then you should stop reciting it (for the time being.) (See Hadith No 581, Vol. 6)

Narrated Humaid bin ‘Abdur-Rahman that he heard Mu’awiya talking to a group of people from Quraish at Al-Madina, and on mentioning Ka’b Al-Ashbar, he said, “He was one of the most truthful of those who used to talk about the people of the Scripture, yet we used to detect certain faults in his information.”

The people of the Book used to read the Torah in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the
Muslims. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said (to the Muslims). “Do not believe the people of the Book, nor
disbelieve them, but say, ‘We believe in Allah and whatever is revealed to us, and whatever is
revealed to you.’ ”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever has eaten garlic or onion, should keep away from us, or should keep
away from our mosque and should stay at home.” Ibn Wahb said, “Once a plate full of cooked
vegetables was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) at Badr. Detecting a bad smell from it, he asked about the dish
and was informed of the kinds of vegetables in contained. He then said, “Bring it near,” and so it was
brought near to one of his companions who was with him. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw it, he disliked
eating it and said (to his companion), “Eat, for I talk in secret to ones whom you do not talk to.”

A lady came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and she talked to him about something, and he gave her some order.
She said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! If I should not find you?” He said, “If you should not find me, then go to
Abu Bakr.” Ibrahim bin Sa`d said, “As if she meant the death (of the Prophet).

A woman asked the Prophet (Hadith 456).Narrated `Aisha:A woman asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the periods: How to take a bath after the periods. He said, “Take a
perfumed piece of cloth and clean yourself with it.” She said,’ “How shall I clean myself with it, O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Clean yourself” She said again, “How shall I clean myself, O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Clean yourself with it.” Then I knew what Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.

Um Hufaid bint Al-Harith bin Hazn presented the Prophet (ﷺ) with some butter, dried yoghurt (curd milk)
and mastigures as a gift. The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked for a meal (mastigures etc. to be put) and it was eaten
over his table cloth, but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not eat of it, as he had aversion to it. But if it had been illegal
to eat, it would not have been eaten over his table cloth nor would he have ordered that (mastigures
meat) to be eaten.

I saw Jabir bin `Abdullah swearing by Allah that Ibn Sayyad was the Dajjal. I said to Jabir, “How can
you swear by Allah?” Jabir said, “I have heard `Umar swearing by Allah regarding this matter in the
presence of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) did not disapprove of it.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Horses may be used for three purposes: For a man they may be a source of
reward (in the Hereafter); for another, a means of protection; and for another, a source of sin. The man
for whom they are a source of reward, is the one who keeps them for Allah’s Cause and ties them with
long ropes and lets them graze in a pasture or garden. Whatever those long ropes allow them to eat of
that pasture or garden, will be written as good deeds for him and if they break their ropes and run one
or two rounds, then all their footsteps and dung will be written as good deeds for him, and if they pass
a river and drink from it though he has had no intention of watering them, even then, that will be
written as good deeds for him. So such horses are a source of reward for that man. For the man who
keeps horses for his livelihood in order not to ask others for help or beg his bread, and at the same
time he does not forget Allah’s right of what he earns through them and of their backs (that he presents
it to be used in Allah’s Cause), such horses are a shelter for him (from poverty). For the man who
keeps them just out of pride and for showing off, they are a source of sin.” Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was
asked about donkeys. He said, “Allah has not revealed anything to me regarding them except this
comprehensive Verse:
“Then anyone who has done good, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it, and any
one who has done evil, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it.” (99.7-8)

Abu Musa asked permission to enter upon `Umar, but seeing that he was busy, he went away. `Umar
then said, “Didn’t I hear the voice of `Abdullah bin Qais? Allow him to come in.” He was called in and
`Umar said to him, “What made you do what you did.” He replied, “We have been instructed thus by
the Prophet” `Umar said, “Bring proof (witness) for this, other wise I will do so-and-so to you.” Then
`Abdullah bin Qais went to a gathering of the Ansar who then said, “None but the youngest of us will
give the witness for it.” So Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri got up and said, “We used to be instructed thus (by
the Prophet).” `Umar said, “This tradition of the Prophet (ﷺ) remained hidden from me. Business in the
market kept me busy.”
