The Prophet said,

Huraira:

wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes
quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a
believer is afflicted with calamities (but he
remains patient till Allah removes his
difficulties.) And an impious wicked person is
like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight
till Allah cuts (breaks) it down when He
wishes." (See Hadith No. 558, Vol. 9.)

And whenever the fever deserted Bilal, he would
recite (two poetic lines): 'Would that I could
stay overnight in a valley wherein I would be
surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of good
smelling grass). Would that one day I would drink
of the water of Majinna and would that Shama and
Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to
me.' Then I came and informed Allah's Apostle
about that, whereupon he said, "O Allah! Make
us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca.
O Allah! Make it healthy and bless its Mudd and Sa
for us, and take away its fever and put it in
Al'Juhfa."

what He gives; and everything before His sight has
a limited period. So she should hope for Allah's
reward and remain patient." She again sent a
message, beseeching him by Allah, to come. So the
Prophet got up. and so did we (and went there).
The child was placed on his lap while his breath
was irregular. Tears flowed from the eyes of the
Prophet. Sad said to him, "What is this, O
Allah's Apostle?" He said. "This Is

third (for my heir)?" He said,

half and leave half?" He said,
"No." I said, "Shall I bequeath one
third and leave two thirds?" He said,
"One third is alright, though even one third

The Prophet rode a
donkey having a saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet
covering. He mounted me behind him and went to
visit Sad bin 'Ubada, and that had been before the
battle of Badr. The Prophet proceeded till he
passed by a gathering in which 'Abdullah bin Ubai
bin Salul was present, and that had been before
'Abdullah embraced Islam. The gathering comprised
of Muslims, polytheists, i.e., isolators and Jews.
'Abdullah bin Rawaha was also present in that
gathering. When dust raised by the donkey covered
the gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose
with his upper garment and said, "Do not
trouble us with dust." The Prophet greeted
them, stopped and dismounted. Then he invited them
to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to
them some verses of the Holy Qur'an. On that,
'Abdullah bin Ubai said, "O man ! There is
nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do
not trouble us with it in our gathering, but
return to your house, and if somebody comes to
you, teach him there." On that 'Abdullah bin
Rawaha said, Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring your
teachings to our gathering, for we love
that." So the Muslims, the pagans and the
Jews started abusing each other till they were
about to fight. The Prophet kept on quietening
them till they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet
mounted his animal and proceeded till he entered
upon Sad bin Ubada. He said to him "O Sad!
Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., 'Abdullah
bin Ubai) said?" Sad said, 'O Allah's
Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for Allah has
given you what He has given you. The people of
this town (Medina decided unanimously to crown him
and make him their chief by placing a turban on
his head, but when that was prevented by the Truth
which Allah had given you he ('Abdullah bin Ubai)
was grieved out of jealously, and that was the
reason which caused him to behave in the way you
have seen."

invoke Allah for you." Aisha said, "Wa
thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to die;
and If this should happen, you would spend the
last part of the day sleeping with one of your
wives!" The Prophet said, "Nay, I should
say, 'Oh my head!' I felt like sending for Abu
Bakr and his son, and appoint him as my successor
lest some people claimed something or some others
wished something, but then I said (to myself),
'Allah would not allow it to be otherwise, and the
Muslims would prevent it to be otherwise".

give two thirds of my property in charity?"!
He said, "No." I said, "Half of
it?" He said, "No." I said
"One third?" He said, "One third is
too much, for to leave your heirs rich is better
than to leave them poor, begging of others.
Nothing you spend seeking Allah's pleasure but you
shall get a reward for it, even for what you put
in the mouth of your wife."

seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the Book
of Allah is enough for us." The people
present in the house differed and quarrelled. Some
said "Go near so that the Prophet may write
for you a statement after which you will not go
astray," while the others said as Umar said.

having their rewards reduced through enjoying the
pleasures of this life, but we have got (so much)
wealth that we find no way to spend It except on
the construction of buildings Had the Prophet not
forbidden us to wish for death, I would have

myself, unless Allah bestows His favor and mercy
on me." So be moderate in your religious
deeds and do the deeds that are within your
ability: and none of you should wish for death,

deeds, and if he is an evil doer, he may repent to
Allah."
