Hudhaifa saw a person who was not performing the bowing and prostration perfectly. He said to him, "You have not prayed and if you should die you would die on a religion other than that of Muhammad."

We were with Hudhaifa and he said, "None remains of the people described by this Verse (9.12): 'Except three, and of the hypocrites except four.' " A bedouin said, "You the companions of Muhammad! Tell us (things) and we do not know that about those who break open our houses and steal our precious things?" He (Hudhaifa) replied, "Those are Al Fussaq (rebellious wrongdoers, not disbelievers or hypocrites). Really, none remains of them (hypocrites) but four, one of whom is a very old man who, if he drinks water, does not feel its coldness."

I passed by (visited ) Abu Dhar at Ar-Rabadha and said to him, "What has brought you to this land?" He said, "We were at Sham and I recited the Verse: 'They who hoard up gold and silver and spend them not in the way of Allah; announce to them a painful torment,' (9.34) whereupon Muawiya said, 'This Verse is not for us, but for the people of the Scripture.' Then I said, 'But it is both for us (Muslim) and for them.' "

(the daughter of Um Salama) My mother said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I receive a reward if I spend for the sustenance of Abu Salama's offspring, and in fact they are also my sons?" The Prophet replied, "Spend on them and you will get a reward for what you spend on them."

(daughter of Um Salama) that her mother said, "While I was (lying) with Allah's Apostle underneath a woolen sheet, I got the menstruation, and then slipped away and put on the clothes (which I used to wear) in menses. He asked, "What is the matter? Did you get your menses?" I replied in the affirmative and then entered underneath that woolen sheet. I and Allah's Apostle used to take a bath from one water pot and he used to kiss me while he was fasting."

Um-Salama said, "I got my menses while I was lying with the Prophet under a woolen sheet. So I slipped away, took the clothes for menses and put them on. Allah's Apostle said, 'Have you got your menses?' I replied, 'Yes.' Then he called me and took me with him under the woolen sheet." Um Salama further said, "The Prophet used to kiss me while he was fasting. The Prophet and I used to take the bath of Janaba from a single pot."

When the news of the death of Abu Sufyan reached from Sham, Um Habiba on the third day, asked for a yellow perfume and scented her cheeks and forearms and said, "No doubt, I would not have been in need of this, had I not heard the Prophet saying: 'It is not legal for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for more than three days for any dead person except her husband, for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days.' "

I went to Um Habiba, the wife of Prophet, who said, "I heard the Prophet saying, 'It is not legal for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for any dead person for more than three days except for her husband, (for whom she should mourn) for four months and ten days'." Later I went to Zainab bint Jahsh when her brother died; she asked for some scent, and after using it she said, "I am not in need of scent but I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'It is not legal for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for more than three days for any dead person except her husband, (for whom she should mourn) for four months and ten days.' "

That the Prophet once came to her in a state of fear and said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from a danger that has come near. An opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this," making a circle with his thumb and index finger. Zainab bint Jahsh said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we be destroyed even though there are pious persons among us?" He said, "Yes, when the evil person will increase."

That the Prophet came to her in a state of fear saying, "None has the right to be worshiped but Allah! Woe to the Arabs because of evil that has come near. Today a hole has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog as large as this," pointing with two of his fingers making a circle. Zainab said, "I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Shall we be destroyed though amongst us there are pious people? ' He said, 'Yes, if evil increases."

Narrated Um Salama: The Prophet woke up and said, "Glorified be Allah: What great (how many) treasures have been sent down, and what great (how many ) afflictions have been sent down!"

The Prophet got up from his sleep with a flushed red face and said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe to the Arabs, from the great evil that is nearly approaching them. Today a gap has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this." (Sufyan illustrated by this forming the number 90 or 100 with his fingers.) It was asked, "Shall we be destroyed though there are righteous people among us?" The Prophet said, "Yes, if evil increased."

That one day Allah's Apostle entered upon her in a state of fear and said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah! Woe to the Arabs from the Great evil that has approached (them). Today a hole has been opened in the dam of Gog and Magog like this." The Prophet made a circle with his index finger and thumb. Zainab bint Jahsh added: I said, "O Alllah's Apostle! Shall we be destroyed though there will be righteous people among us?" The Prophet said, "Yes, if the (number) of evil (persons) increased."

Um Habiba said to Allah's Apostle, "We have heard that you want to marry Durra bint Abu-Salama." Allah's Apostle said, "Can she be married along with Um Salama (her mother)? Even if I have not married Um Salama, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for her father is my foster brother. 'And there is no blame on you if you make hint of betrothal or conceal it in your hearts. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.' - (2.235) Ibn 'Abbas said, "Hint your intention of marrying' is made by saying (to the widow) for example: "I want to marry, and I wish that Allah will make a righteous lady available for me.' " Al-Qasim said: -One may say to the widow: 'I hold all respect for you, and I am interested in you; Allah will bring you much good, or something similar.' " 'Ata said: "One should hint his intention, and should not declare it openly. One may say: 'I have some need. Have good tidings. Praise be to Allah; you are fit to remarry.' She (the widow) may say in reply: 'I am listening to what you say,' but she should not make a promise. Her guardian should not make a promise (to somebody to get her married to him) without her knowledge. But if, while still in the Iddat period, she makes a promise to marry somebody, and he ultimately marries her, they are not to be separated by divorce (i.e., the marriage is valid)."

When Um Habiba bint Abi Sufyan was informed of her father's death, she asked for perfume and rubbed it over her arms and said, "I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard the Prophet saying, "It is not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for more than three days except for her husband for whom the (mourning) period is four months and ten days."

Um Sulaim said, "O Allah's Apostle! Verily Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it essential for a woman to take a bath after she had a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?" He said, "Yes, if she notices discharge." On that Um Salama laughed and said, "Does a woman get a (nocturnal sexual) discharge?" He said, "How then does (her) son resemble her (his mother)?"

The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) visited me while I wassuffering from pain in my eyes.

Three persons were brought to Ali (Allah be pleased with him)when he was in the Yemen. They and sexual intercourse with awoman during a single state of purity. He asked two of them: Doyou acknowledge this child for this (man)? They replied: No. Hethen put this (question) to all of them. Whenever he asked two ofthem, they replied in the negative. He, therefore, cast a lotamong them, and attributed the child to the one who received thelot. He imposed two-third of the blood-money (i.e. the price ofthe mother) on him. This was then mentioned to the Prophet (peacebe upon him) and he laughed so much that his molar teethappeared.

I was sitting with the Prophet (peace be upon him). A man camefrom the Yemen, and said: Three men from the people of the Yemencame to Ali, quarrelling about a child, asking him to give adecision. They had had sexual intercourse with a woman during asingle state of purity. He said to two of them: Give this childto this man (the third person) with pleasure. But they (refusedand) cried loudly. Again he said to two of them: Give the childto the man (the third person) willingly. But they (refused and)cried loudly. He then said: You are quarrelsome partners. I shallcast lots among you; he who receives the lot, will acquire thechild, and he shall pay two-thirds of the blood-money to both hiscompanions. He then cast lots among them, and gave the child tothe one who received the lot. The Apostle of Allah (peace be uponhim) laughed so much that his canine or molar teeth appeared.

I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) saying (theversion of Sulayman has: The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him)used to say) after his prayer:- "O Allah, our Lord and Lord ofeverything, I bear witness that Thou art the Lord alone Who hastno partner; O Allah, Our Lord and Lord of everything, I bearwitness that Muhammad is Thy servant and Thy apostle ; O Allah,our Lord and Lord of everything, I bear witness that all theservants are brethren; O Allah, our Lord and Lord of everythingmake me sincere to Thee, and my family too at every moment, inthis world and in the world hereafter, O Possessor of glory andhonour, listen to me and answer.
