The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If anyone of you on having sexual relations with his wife said (and he must say it
before starting) ‘In the name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan and also protect what you
bestow upon us (i.e. the coming offspring) from Satan, and if it is destined that they should have a
child then, Satan will never be able to harm that offspring.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) performed ablution by washing the body parts only once.

Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) went to answer the call of nature, he used to say, “Allah-umma inni a`udhu
bika minal khubuthi wal khaba’ith i.e. O Allah, I seek Refuge with You from all offensive and wicked
things (evil deeds and evil spirits).

The Prophet (ﷺ) performed ablution by washing the body parts twice.

Once the Prophet (ﷺ) entered a lavatory and I placed water for his ablution. He asked, “Who placed it?”
He was informed accordingly and so he said, “O Allah! Make him (Ibn `Abbas) a learned scholar in
religion (Islam).

(the slave of ‘Uthman) I saw ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan asking for a tumbler
of water (and when it was brought) he poured water over his hands and
washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container
and rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then
blowing it out. then he washed his face and forearms up to the
elbows thrice, passed his wet hands over his head and washed his feet
up to the ankles thrice. Then he said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said ‘If
anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak’at
prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to
the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.’ ”

“Once Mu`adh was along with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as a companion rider. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “O Mu`adh
bin Jabal.” Mu`adh replied, “Labbaik and Sa`daik. O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” Again the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O
Mu`adh!” Mu`adh said thrice, “Labbaik and Sa`daik, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “There
is none who testifies sincerely that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is
his Apostle, except that Allah, will save him from the Hell-fire.” Mu`adh said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) !
Should I not inform the people about it so that they may have glad tidings?” He replied, “When the
people hear about it, they will solely depend on it.” Then Mu`adh narrated the above-mentioned
Hadith just before his death, being afraid of committing sin (by not telling the knowledge).

I was informed that the Prophet (ﷺ) had said to Mu`adh, “Whosoever will meet Allah without associating
anything in worship with Him will go to Paradise.” Mu`adh asked the Prophet, “Should I not inform
the people of this good news?” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “No, I am afraid, lest they should depend upon it
(absolutely).

Um-Sulaim came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “Verily, Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it
necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge?) The
Prophet replied, “Yes, if she notices a discharge.” Um Salama, then covered her face and asked, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Does a woman get a discharge?” He replied, “Yes, let your right hand be in dust (An
Arabic expression you say to a person when you contradict his statement meaning “you will not
achieve goodness”), and that is why the son resembles his mother.”

Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Amongst the trees there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is
like a Muslim, tell me the name of that tree.” Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert
areas and I thought of the date-palm tree but felt shy (to answer). The others asked, “O Allah’s
Apostle! inform us of it.” He replied, “it is the date-palm tree.” I told my father what had come to my
mind and on that he said, “Had you said it I would have preferred it to such and such a thing that I
might possess.”
