Ahadith

Ayesha relates that the conduct of the Holy Prophet was all in accordance with the Quran (Muslim).

Ayesha relates that the Holy Prophet said: He who desires meeting with Allah, Allah is pleased with meeting him and he who dislikes meeting with Allah, Allah dislikes meeting him. I asked: Messenger of Allah, does this mean dislike of death, for, if so, we all dislike death. He answered: | did not mean that. What I meant was that a believer when he is told of Allah’s mercy His pleasure and His Paradise is pleased with the prospect of meeting Allah and Allah is pleased with meeting him. But a disbeliever when he is told of the chastisement of Allah and His wrath dislikes meeting with Allah and Allah dislikes meeting with him (Muslim).

Safayyah bint Huyyi (wife of the Holy Prophet) relates: The Holy Prophet was in retreat in the mosque and I went there to see him one evening and after having talked to him he stood up to accompany me a part of the way. Two men passed us and when they saw the Holy Prophet they quickened their pace. The Holy Prophet called out to them: Stop a moment. This is Safayyah bint Huyyi. They expostulated: Holy is Allah, Messenger of Allah. The Holy Prophet observed: Satan courses through a man’s mind lie the circulation of the blood and I apprehended lest he might drop some evil thought in your minds (Bokhari and Muslim).

Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib relates: I was with the Holy Prophet on the day of Hunain. Abu Sufyan and I kept close to the Holy Prophet throughout. He was riding his white mule and at the first encounter between the Muslims and the pagans the Muslims turned back and ran. The Holy" Prophet urged his mule towards the pagans. I was holding the bridle of his mule trying to restrain it from proceeding too fast and Abu Sufyan was holding the Holy Prophet’s stirrup. The Holy Prophet said to me: Abbas, call out to those who had made the covenant at Samurah and I called out in my loudest voice: Where are those of the covenant of Samurah? My voice is naturally far reaching and as soon as they heard my voice they turned towards the Holy Prophet, like a cow turning towards her calf, shouting: Here we are, here we are; and they started fighting the pagans. People were -shouting: O company of Helpers, O company of Helpers, and then calling: Bani Harith ibn Khazraj! The Holy Prophet raised his head from his seat on his mule and observed the fighting and said: The battle is heating up. Then the Holy Prophet threw some pebbles at the pagans and said: By the Lord of Muhammad they will be defeated. I noticed that as soon as the Holy Prophet threw the pebbles all the fierceness of the enemy was subdued and they started running away (Muslim).

Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: O ye people, Allah is pure and only accepts purity. Allah has commanded the believers in the same terms in which He commanded His Messengers. Allah has said: O ye Messengers, eat of the things that are pure and act righteously (23. 52) and has said: Eat of the good things we have provided for you (7. 161). Then he mentioned the case of a man who sets out on a long journey, his hair becomes ruffled and his face is covered with dust and he raises his hands towards heaven and supplicates: Lord, Lord: while his food is unlawful and his drink is unlawful and his sustenance is unlawful. How would the supplication of such a one find acceptance (Muslim)?

This hadith is the same as No. 620.

Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Jaxartes, Oxus, Euphrates and the Nile are all fe:am the rivers of Paradise (Muslim).

Abu Hurairah relates: The Holy Prophet took hold of my hand and said: Allah created the earth on Saturday and made in it mountains on Sunday and created trees on Monday and created disagreeable things on Tuesday and created light on Wednesday and spread out animals in the earth on Thursday and created Adam in the afternoon on Friday in the wake of His creation in the last hour of the day before evening (Muslim).

Khalid ibn Walid relates: In the Battle of Muta seven swords broke in my hand and all that remained in my hands was a small Yemeni sword (Bokhari).

Amr ibn ‘As relates that he heard the Holy Prophet say: When a judge uses his judgment and comes to a right decision he has a double reward. When he uses his judgment and makes a mistake he has a single reward (Bokhari and Muslim).
