Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Some women requested the Prophet to fix a day for them as the men were taking all his time. On
that he promised them one day for religious lessons and commandments. Once during such a lesson
the Prophet said, “A woman whose three children die will be shielded by them from the Hell fire.” On
that a woman asked, “If only two die?” He replied, “Even two (will shield her from the Hell-fire).”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 1 > BOOK 3: KNOWLEDGE
I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimuna bint Al-Harith (the wife of the Prophet )
while the Prophet was there with her during her night turn. The Prophet offered the ‘Isha’ prayer (in
the mosque), returned home and after having prayed four Rakat, he slept. Later on he got up at night
and then asked whether the boy (or he used a similar word) had slept? Then he got up for the prayer
and I stood up by his left side but he made me stand to his right and offered five Rakat followed by
two more Rakat. Then he slept and I heard him snoring and then (after a while) he left for the (Fajr)
prayer.

as above (the sub narrators are different). Abu Huraira qualified the three children referred to in
the above mentioned Hadith as not having reached the age of committing sins (i.e. age of puberty) .
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 118:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet’s narrations). Had it not been for two
verses in the Qur’an, I would not have narrated a single Hadith, and the verses are:
“Verily those who conceal the clear sign and the guidance which We have sent down . . . (up to)
Most Merciful.” (2:159-160). And no doubt our Muhajir (emigrant) brothers used to be busy in the
market with their business (bargains) and our Ansari brothers used to be busy with their property
(agriculture). But I (Abu Huraira) used to stick to Allah’s Apostle contented with what will fill my
stomach and I used to attend that which they used not to attend and I used to memorize that which
they used not to memorize.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 103:
Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika:
Whenever ‘Aisha (the wife of the Prophet) heard anything which she did not understand, she used
to ask again till she understood it completely. Aisha said: “Once the Prophet said, “Whoever will be
called to account (about his deeds on the Day of Resurrection) will surely be punished.” I said,
“Doesn’t Allah say: “He surely will receive an easy reckoning.” (84.8) The Prophet replied, “This means
only the presentation of the accounts but whoever will be argued about his account, will certainly be
ruined.”
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 119:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said to Allah’s Apostle “I hear many narrations (Hadiths) from you but I forget them.” Allah’s
Apostle said, “Spread your Rida’ (garment).” I did accordingly and then he moved his hands as if
filling them with something (and emptied them in my Rida’) and then said, “Take and wrap this sheet
over your body.” I did it and after that I never forgot any thing.
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 104:
Narrated Said:
Abu Shuraih said, “When ‘Amr bin Said was sending the troops to Mecca (to fight ‘Abdullah bin
Az-Zubair) I said to him, ‘O chief! Allow me to tell you what the Prophet said on the day following
the conquests of Mecca. My ears heard and my heart comprehended, and I saw him with my own
eyes, when he said it. He glorified and praised Allah and then said, “Allah and not the people has
made Mecca a sanctuary. So anybody who has belief in Allah and the Last Day (i.e. a Muslim) should
neither shed blood in it nor cut down its trees. If anybody argues that fighting is allowed in Mecca as
Allah’s Apostle did fight (in Mecca), tell him that Allah gave permission to His Apostle, but He did not
give it to you. The Prophet added: Allah allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the con –
quest) and today (now) its sanctity is the same (valid) as it was before. So it is incumbent upon those

who are present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent.” Abu- Shuraih was asked,
“What did ‘Amr reply?” He said ‘Amr said, “O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you (in this respect).
Mecca does not give protection to one who disobeys (Allah) or runs after committing murder, or
theft (and takes refuge in Mecca).

Narrated Ibrahim bin Al-Mundhir:
Ibn Abi Fudaik narrated the same as above (Hadith…119) but added that the Prophet had moved
his hands as if filling them with something and then he emptied them in the Rida’ of Abu Huraira.
