Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
The Prophet led us in the Fajr prayer at Hudaibiya after a rainy night. On completion of the pray –
er, he faced the people and said, “Do you know what your Lord has said (revealed)?” The people
replied, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said, “Allah has said, ‘In this morning some of my
slaves remained as true believers and some became non-believers; whoever said that the rain was
due to the Blessings and the Mercy of Allah had belief in Me and he disbelieves in the stars, and
whoever said that it rained because of a particular star had no belief in Me but believes in that star.’ “

faced us and said, “The people had prayed and slept but you were in the prayer as long as you were
waiting for it.”

Volume 1, Book 12, Number 809:
Narrated Um Salama:
“The Prophet after finishing the prayer with Taslim used to stay at his place for a while.” Ibn Shi –
hab said, “I think (and Allah knows better), that he used to wait for the departure of the women who
had prayed.” Ibn Shihab wrote that he had heard it from Hind bint Al-Harith Al-Firasiya from Um
Salama, the wife of the Prophet (Hind was from the companions of Um Salama) who said, “When the
Prophet finished the prayer with Taslim, the women would depart and enter their houses before Al –
lah’s Apostle departed.”
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 810:
Narrated ‘Uqba:
I offered the ‘Asr prayer behind the Prophet at Medina. When he had finished the prayer with
Taslim, he got up hurriedly and went out by crossing the rows of the people to one of the dwellings
of his wives. The people got scared at his speed . The Prophet came back and found the people sur –
prised at his haste and said to them, “I remembered a piece of gold Lying in my house and I did not
like it to divert my attention from Allah’s worship, so I have ordered it to be distributed (in charity).”
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 811:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
You should not give away a part of your prayer to Satan by thinking that it is necessary to depart
(after finishing the prayer) from one’s right side only; I have seen the Prophet often leave from the
left side.

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Malik bin Buhaina:
Once Allah’s Apostle led us in the Zuhr prayer and got up (after the prostrations of the second
Rak’a) although he should have sat (for the Tashah-hud). So at the end of the prayer, he prostrated
twice while sitting (prostrations of Sahu).
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 794:
Narrated Shaqlq bin Salama:
‘Abdullah said, “Whenever we prayed behind the Prophet we used to recite (in sitting) ‘Peace be on
Gabriel, Michael, peace be on so and so. Once Allah’s Apostle looked back at us and said, ‘Allah Him –
self is As-Salam (Peace), and if anyone of you prays then he should say, At-Tahiyatu lil-lahi was –
salawatu wat-taiyibatu. AsSalamu ‘alalika aiyuha-n-Nabiyu wa rahmatu-l-lahi wa barakatuhu. As-
Salam alaina wa ala ibadil-lah is-salihin. (All the compliments, prayers and good things are due to
Allah: peace be on you, O Prophet and Allah’s mercy and blessings be on you. Peace be on us an on
the true pious slaves of Allah). (If you say that, it will be for all the slaves in the heaven and the
earth). Ash-hadu an la-ilaha illa-l-lahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasuluhu. (I
testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and I also testify that Muhammad is His
slave and His Apostle).”
