The people differed about the type of treatment which had been given to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) on the day
(of the battle) of Uhud. So they asked Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`id who was the only surviving Companion
(of the Prophet) at Medina. He replied, “Nobody Is left at Medina who knows it better than I. Fatima
was washing the blood off his face and `Ali was bringing water in his shield, and then a mat of datepalm
leaves was burnt and (the ash) was inserted into the wound.”

I heard Ibn `Abbas answering a man who asked him, “Did you attend the prayer of `Id al Adha or `Idal-
Fitr with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” Ibn `Abbas replied, “Yes, and had it not been for my close relationship
with him, I could not have offered it.” (That was because of his young age). Ibn `Abbas further said,
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) went out and offered the Id prayer and then delivered the sermon.” Ibn `Abbas did not
mention anything about the Adhan (the call for prayer) or the Iqama. He added, “Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
went to the women and instructed them and gave them religious advice and ordered them to give alms
and I saw them reaching out (their hands to) their ears and necks (to take off the earrings and
necklaces, etc.) and throwing (it) towards Bilal. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) returned with Bilal to his house . ”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “When anyone of you is away from his house for a long time, he should not
return to his family at night.”

I was with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in a Ghazwa, and when we returned, I wanted to hurry, while riding a slow
camel. A rider came behind me. I looked back and saw that the rider was Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) . He said (to
me), “What makes you in such a hurry?” I replied, “I am newly married.” He said, “Did you marry a
virgin or a matron?” I replied, “(Not a virgin but) a matron.” He said, “Why didn’t you marry a young
girl with whom you could play and who could play with you?” Then when we approached (Medina)
and were going to enter (it), the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Wait till you enter (your homes) at night (in the first
part of the night) so that the ladies with unkempt hair may comb their hair, and those whose husbands
have been absent (for a long time) may shave their pubic hair.” (The sub-narrator, Hashim said: A
reliable narrator told me that the Prophet (ﷺ) added in this Hadith: “(Seek to beget) children! Children, O
Jabir!”)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If you enter (your town) at night (after coming from a journey), do not enter upon
your family till the woman whose husband was absent (from the house) shaves her pubic hair and the
woman with unkempt hair, combs her hair” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) further said, “(O Jabir!) Seek to have
offspring, seek to have offspring!”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “A woman should not look at or touch another woman to describe her to her
husband in such a way as if he was actually looking at her.”

(The Prophet) Solomon son of (the Prophet) David said, “Tonight I will go round (i.e. have sexual
relations with) one hundred women (my wives) everyone of whom will deliver a male child who will
fight in Allah’s Cause.” On that an Angel said to him, “Say: ‘If Allah will.’ ” But Solomon did not say
it and forgot to say it. Then he had sexual relations with them but none of them delivered any child
except one who delivered a half person. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If Solomon had said: ‘If Allah will,’ Allah
would have fulfilled his (above) desire and that saying would have made him more hopeful.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) disliked that one should go to one’s family at night (on returning from a journey).

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “A woman should not look at or touch another woman to describe her to her
husband in such a way as if he was actually looking at her.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If the wife of anyone of you asks permission to go to the mosque, he should not
forbid her.”
