I came and behold, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was staying on a Mashroba (attic room) and a black slave of

Khattab (asking for permission to enter).” Then he admitted me.

While we were with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) a bedouin got up and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Settle my case
according to Allah’s Book (Laws).” Then his opponent got up and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! He has
said the truth! Settle his case according to Allah’s Book (Laws.) and allow me to speak,” He said, “My
son was a laborer for this man and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people
told me that my son should be stoned to death but I ransomed him with one-hundred sheep and a slave
girl. Then I asked the religious learned people and they told me that his wife should be stoned to death
and my son should receive one-hundred lashes and be sentenced to one year of exile.’ The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is, I will judge between you according to Allah’s Book (Laws):
As for the slave girl and the sheep, they are to be returned; and as for your son, he shall receive onehundred
lashes and will be exiled for one year. You, O Unais!” addressing a man from Bani Aslam,
“Go tomorrow morning to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses, then stone her to death.” The
next morning Unais went to the wife and she confessed, and he stoned her to death.

On the day of (the battle of) the Trench, the Prophet (ﷺ) called the people (to bring news about the
enemy). Az-Zubair responded to his call. He called them again and Az-Zubair responded to his call

Prophet said, “Every prophet has his Hawairi (helper), and Az-Zubair is my Hawari.”

There was a man from the Ansar (who was a friend of mine). If he was not present in the company of
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) I used to be present with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), I would tell him what I used to hear from
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and when I was absent from Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) he used to be present with him, and he
would tell me what he used to hear from Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) .

The Prophet (ﷺ) , sent an army and appointed some man their commander The man made a fire and then
said (to the soldiers), “Enter it.” Some of them intended to enter it while some others said, ‘We have
run away from it (i.e., embraced Islam to save ourselves from the ‘fire’).” They mentioned that to the
Prophet, and he said about people who had intended to enter the fire. ”If they had entered it, they
would have remained In it till the Day of Resurrection.” Then he said to others, “No obedience for evil
deeds, obedience is required only in what is good .”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to the people of Najran, “I will send to you an honest person who is really
trustworthy.” The Companion, of the Prophet (ﷺ) each desired to be that person, but the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Abu

this nation is Abu ‘Ubaida.”

When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) arrived at Medina, he prayed facing Jerusalem for sixteen or seventeen months
but he wished that he would be ordered to face the Ka`ba. So Allah revealed: —
‘Verily! We have seen the turning of your face towards the heaven; surely we shall turn you to a
prayer direction (Qibla) that shall please you.’ (2.144) Thus he was directed towards the Ka`ba. A man
prayed the `Asr prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) and then went out, and passing by some people from the
Ansar, he said, “I testify. that I have prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he (the Prophet) has prayed facing
the Ka`ba.” Thereupon they, who were bowing in the `Asr prayer, turned towards the Ka`ba.
