Abu Huraira said, “You people claim that Abu Huraira narrates many narrations of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).
(Anyhow) with Allah will be our appointment. I was a poor man, and used to stick to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
contented with what will fill my stomach, and the Muhajirin (emigrants) used to be busy trading in the
markets, and the Ansar used to be busy looking after their properties. One-day I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
saying, ‘Who will spread his Rida’ (a garment covering the upper part of the body) till I finished my
speech and then fold it, (i.e. wrap it over your body), in which case he will never forget anything he
had heard from me.” So I spread my garment which I was wearing; and by Him Who sent Muhammad
with the Truth, ever since, I have never forgotten whatever I heard from him (the Prophet)” (See,
Hadith No. 119, Vol. 1)

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent the brother of the tribe of Bani Adi Al-Ansari as governor of Khaibar. Then the
man returned, bringing Janib (a good kind of date). Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked him, “Are all the dates of
Khaibar like that?” He replied, “No, by Allah, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! We take one Sa’ of these (good)
dates for two Sas of mixed dates.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) then said, “Do not do so. You should either take
one Sa of this (kind) for one Sa’ of the other; or sell one kind and then buy with its price the other kind
(of dates), and you should do the same in weighing.”

That he heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “If a judge gives a verdict according to the best of his
knowledge and his verdict is correct (i.e. agrees with Allah and His Apostle’s verdict) he will receive a
double reward, and if he gives a verdict according to the best of his knowledge and his verdict is
wrong, (i.e. against that of Allah and His Apostle) even then he will get a reward .”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Noah will be brought (before Allah) on the Day of Resurrection, and will be
asked, ‘Did you convey the message of Allah?” He will reply, ‘Yes, O Lord.’ And then Noah’s nation
will be asked, ‘Did he (Noah) convey Allah’s message to you?’ They will reply, ‘No warner came to
us.’ Then Noah will be asked, ‘Who are your witnesses?’ He will reply. ‘(My witnesses are)
Muhammad and his followers.’ Thereupon you (Muslims) will be brought and you will bear witness.”
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited: ‘And thus We have made of you (Muslims) a just and the best nation, that
you might be witness over the nations, and the Apostle a witness over you.’ (2.143)

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent the brother of the tribe of Bani Adi Al-Ansari as governor of Khaibar. Then the

That Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to him and Fatima the daughter of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) at their house at night
and said, “Won’t you pray?” `Ali replied, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Our souls are in the Hands of Allah and
when he wants us to get up, He makes us get up.” When `Ali said that to him, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) left
without saying anything to him. While the Prophet (ﷺ) was leaving, `Ali heard him striking his thigh (with
his hand) and saying, “But man is quarrelsome more than anything else.” (18.54)

While we were in the mosque, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came out and said, “Let us proceed to the Jews.” So we
went out with him till we came to Bait-al-Midras. The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up there and called them, saying,
“O assembly of Jews! Surrender to Allah (embrace Islam) and you will be safe!” They said, “You
have conveyed Allah’s message, O Aba-al-Qasim” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) then said to them, “That is what I
want; embrace Islam and you will be safe.” They said, “You have conveyed the message, O Aba-al-
Qasim.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) then said to them, “That is what I want,” and repeated his words for the third
time and added, “Know that the earth is for Allah and I want to exile you from this land, so whoever
among you has property he should sell it, otherwise, know that the land is for Allah and His Apostle.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) had a dream in the last portion of the night when he was sleeping at Dhul-Hulaifa. (I n
the dream) it was said to him, “You are in a blessed Batha’ (i.e., valley).

That he heard the Prophet, after raising his head from the bowing in morning prayer, saying, “O Allah,
our Lord! All the praises are for you.” And in the last (rak`a) he said, “O Allah! Curse so-and-so and
so–and-so.” And then Allah revealed:– ‘Not for you (O Muhammad) is the decision, (but for Allah),
whether He turns in mercy to them or punish them, for they are indeed wrongdoers.’ (3.128)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, “Someone came to me tonight from my Lord while I was in the ‘Aqiq
(valley), and said to me, “Offer prayer in this blessed valley and say: ‘Labbaik’ for the (performance
of) `Umra and Hajj.”
