Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"Allah created Adam in his complete shape and
form (directly), sixty cubits (about 30 meters) in
height. When He created him, He said (to him),
"Go and greet that group of angels sitting
there, and listen what they will say in reply to
you, for that will be your greeting and the
greeting of your offspring." Adam (went and)
said, 'As-Salamu alaikum (Peace be upon you).'
They replied, 'AsSalamu-'Alaika wa Rahmatullah
(Peace and Allah's Mercy be on you) So they
increased 'Wa Rahmatullah' The Prophet added 'So
whoever will enter Paradise, will be of the shape
and form of Adam. Since then the creation of
Adam's (offspring) (i.e. stature of human beings
is being diminished continuously) to the present
time."

stopped to give the people verdicts. In the
meantime, a beautiful woman From the tribe of
Khath'am came, asking the verdict of Allah's
Apostle. Al-Fadl started looking at her as her
beauty attracted him. The Prophet looked behind
while Al-Fadl was looking at her; so the Prophet
held out his hand backwards and caught the chin of
Al-Fadl and turned his face (to the owner sides in
order that he should not gaze at her. She said,
"O Allah's Apostle! The obligation of
Performing Hajj enjoined by Allah on His
worshipers, has become due (compulsory) on my
father who is an old man and who cannot sit firmly
on the riding animal. Will it be sufficient that I
perform Hajj on his behalf?" He said,

Prophet finished his prayer, he faced us and said,
"Allah Himself is As-Salam (Peace), so when
one sits in the prayer, one should say, 'At-Tahiyatu-lillahi
Was-Salawatu, Wat-Taiyibatu, As-Salamu 'Alaika
aiyuhan-Nabiyyu wa Rah-matul-lahi wa Barakatuhu,
As-Salamu 'Alaina wa 'ala 'Ibadillahi assalihin,

pious slave of Allah in the Heavens and the Earth.

that he was a boy
of ten at the time when the Prophet emigrated to
Medina. He added: I served Allah's Apostle for ten
years (the last part of his life time) and I know
more than the people about the occasion whereupon
the order of Al-Hijab was revealed (to the
Prophet). Ubai b n Ka'b used to ask me about it.
It was revealed (for the first time) during the
marriage of Allah's Apostle with Zainab bint Jahsh.
In the morning, the Prophet was a bride-groom of
her and he Invited the people, who took their
meals and went away, but a group of them remained
with Allah's Apostle and they prolonged their
stay. Allah's Apostle got up and went out, and I
too, went out along with him till he came to the
lintel of 'Aisha's dwelling place. Allah's Apostle
thought that those people had left by then, so he
returned, and I too, returned with him till he
entered upon Zainab and found that they were still
sitting there and had not yet gone. The Prophet
went out again, and so did I with him till he
reached the lintel of 'Aisha's dwelling place, and
then he thought that those people must have left
by then, so he returned, and so did I with him,
and found those people had gone. At that time the
Divine Verse of Al-Hijab was revealed, and the
Prophet set a screen between me and him (his
family).

get up. When he noticed that, he got up, and some
of the people also got up and went away, while
some others kept on sitting. When the Prophet
returned to enter, he found the people still
sitting, but then they got up and left. So I told
the Prophet of their departure and he came and
went in. I intended to go in but the Prophet put a
screen between me and him, for Allah revealed:--
'O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's
houses..' (33.53)

Prophet) 'Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say to
Allah's Apostle "Let your wives be

the Prophet used to go out to answer the call of
nature at night only at Al-Manasi.' Once Sauda,
the daughter of Zam'a went out and she was a tall
woman. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her while he was
in a gathering, and said, "I have recognized
you, O Sauda!" He ('Umar) said so as he was
anxious for some Divine orders regarding the veil
(the veiling of women.) So Allah revealed the

excluding the eyes). (See Hadith No. 148, Vol. 1)

your eye with it (i.e., the comb)." Verily!

I have not seen a
thing resembling 'lamam' (minor sins) than what
Abu Huraira 'narrated from the Prophet who said

forbidden thing), the adultery of the tongue is
the talk, and the inner self wishes and desires
and the private parts testify all this or deny
it."

(When 'Umar came to know about it) he said to Abu
Musa, "Why did you not enter?'. Abu Musa
replied, "I asked permission three times, and
I was not given it, so I returned, for Allah's
Apostle said, "If anyone of you asks the
permission to enter thrice, and the permission is
not given, then he should return.' " 'Umar
said, "By Allah! We will ask Abu Musa to
bring witnesses for it." (Abu Musa went to a
gathering of the Ansar and said). "Did anyone
of you hear this from the Prophet ?" Ubai bin
Ka'b said, "By Allah, none will go with you
but the youngest of the people (as a
witness)." (Abu Said) was the youngest of
them, so I went with Abu Musa and informed 'Umar

Takbir (Allahu-Akbar), and then recite what you
know from the Qur'an, and then bow with calmness

Narrated 'Urwa-bin
Az-Zubair:
Usama bin Zaid
said, "The Prophet rode over a donkey with a
saddle underneath which there was a thick soft
Fadakiya velvet sheet. Usama bin Zaid was his
companion rider, and he was going to pay a visit
to Sa'd bin Ubada (who was sick) at the dwelling
place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and this
incident happened before the battle of Badr. The
Prophet passed by a gathering in which there were
Muslims and pagan idolators and Jews, and among
them there was 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul, and
there was 'Abdullah bin Rawaha too. When a cloud
of dust raised by the animal covered that
gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose
with his Rida (sheet) and said (to the Prophet),
"Don't cover us with dust." The Prophet
greeted them and then stopped, dismounted and
invited them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and
also recited to them the Holy Quran. 'Abdullah bin
Ubai' bin Salul said, "O man! There is
nothing better than what you say, if what you say
is the truth. So do not trouble us in our
gatherings. Go back to your mount (or house,) and
if anyone of us comes to you, tell (your tales) to
him." On that 'Abdullah bin Rawaha said,
"(O Allah's Apostle!) Come to us and bring
it(what you want to say) in our gatherings, for we
love that." So the Muslims, the pagans and
the Jews started quarreling till they were about
to fight and clash with one another. The Prophet
kept on quietening them (till they all became
quiet). He then rode his animal, and proceeded
till he entered upon Sa'd bin 'Ubada, he said,
"O Sa'd, didn't you hear what Abu Habbab
said? (He meant 'Abdullah bin Ubai). He said
so-and-so." Sa'd bin 'Ubada said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for by
Allah, Allah has given you what He has given you.
The people of this town decided to crown him (as
their chief) and make him their king. But when
Allah prevented that with the Truth which He had
given you, it choked him, and that was what made
him behave in the way you saw him behaving."
So the Prophet excused him.

Narrated 'Abdullah
bin Ka'b:
I heard Ka'b bin
Malik narrating (when he did not join the battle
of Tabuk): Allah's Apostle forbade all the Muslims
to speak to us. I would come to Allah's Apostle
and greet him, and I would wonder whether the
Prophet did move his lips to return to my
greetings or not till fifty nights passed away.
The Prophet then announced (to the people) Allah's
forgiveness for us (acceptance of our repentance)
at the time when he had offered the Fajr (morning)
prayer.

said, "Be calm! O 'Aisha, for Allah loves
that one should be kind and lenient in all
matters." I said. "O Allah's Apostle!

Narrated 'Ali:
Allah's Apostle
sent me, Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam and Abu Marthad
Al-Ghanawi, and all of us were horsemen, and he
said, "Proceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh,
where there is a woman from the pagans carrying a
letter sent by Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans
(of Mecca)." So we overtook her while she was
proceeding on her camel at the same place as
Allah's Apostle told us. We said (to her)
"Where is the letter which is with you?"
She said, "I have no letter with me." So
we made her camel kneel down and searched her
mount (baggage etc) but could not find anything.
My two companions said, "We do not see any
letter." I said, "I know that Allah's
Apostle did not tell a lie. By Allah, if you (the
lady) do not bring out the letter, I will strip
you of your clothes' When she noticed that I was
serious, she put her hand into the knot of her
waist sheet, for she was tying a sheet round
herself, and brought out the letter. So we
proceeded to Allah's Apostle with the letter. The
Prophet said (to Habib), "What made you o
what you have done, O Hatib?" Hatib replied,
"I have done nothing except that I believe in
Allah and His Apostle, and I have not changed or
altered (my religion). But I wanted to do the
favor to the people (pagans of Mecca) through
which Allah might protect my family and my
property, as there is none among your companions
but has someone in Mecca through whom Allah
protects his property (against harm). The Prophet
said, "Habib has told you the truth, so do
not say to him (anything) but good." 'Umar
bin Al-Khattab said, "Verily he has betrayed
Allah, His Apostle, and the believers! Allow me to
chop his neck off!" The Prophet said, "O
'Umar! What do you know; perhaps Allah looked upon
the Badr warriors and said, 'Do whatever you like,
for I have ordained that you will be in
Paradise.'" On that 'Umar wept and said,
"Allah and His Apostle know best."

held Ali by the hand and said, "Don't you see
him (about to die)? By Allah, within three days
you will be the slave of the stick (i.e., under
the command of another ruler). By Allah, I think
that Allah's Apostle will die from his present
ailment, for I know the signs of death on the
faces of the offspring of 'Abdul Muttalib. So let
us go to Allah's Apostle to ask him who will take
over the Caliphate. If the authority is given to
us, we will know it, and if it is given to
somebody else we will request him to recommend us
to him. " 'Ali said, "By Allah! If we

like to have gold equal to Uhud (mountain) for me,
unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar
remains of it with me, for more than one day or
three days, except that single Dinar which I will
keep for repaying debts. I will spend all of it
(the whole amount) among Allah's slaves like this
and like this and like this." The Prophet
pointed out with his hand to illustrate it and
then said, "O Abu Dhar!" I replied,
"Labbaik wa Sa'daik, O Allah's Apostle!"
He said, "Those who have much wealth (in this
world) will be the least rewarded (in the
Hereafter) except those who do like this and like
this (i.e., spend their money in charity)."
Then he ordered me, "Remain at your place and
do not leave it, O Abu Dhar, till I come
back." He went away till he disappeared from
me. Then I heard a voice and feared that something
might have happened to Allah's Apostle, and I
intended to go (to find out) but I remembered the
statement of Allah's Apostle that I should not
leave, my place, so I kept on waiting (and after a
while the Prophet came), and I said to him,
"O Allah's Apostle, I heard a voice and I was
afraid that something might have happened to you,
but then I remembered your statement and stayed
(there). The Prophet said, "That was Gabriel
who came to me and informed me that whoever among
my followers died without joining others in
worship with Allah, would enter Paradise." I
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Even if he had
committed illegal sexual intercourse and
theft?" He said, "Even if he had

sitting and talking. The Prophet pretended to be
ready to get up, but the people did not get up.

got up, some of those people got up along with him
and there remained three (who kept on sitting).
Then the Prophet came back and found those people
still sitting. Later on those people got up and
went away. So I went to the Prophet and informed
him that they had left.
The Prophet came,
and entered (his house). I wanted to enter(along
with him) but he dropped a curtain between me and
him. Allah then revealed: 'O you who believe! Do
not enter the Prophet's Houses until leave is
given... (to His statement)... Verily! That shall
be an enormity, in Allah's sight.' (33.53)
