Volume 1 Book 3 Hadith 118

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.”

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.

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Abi Mulaika:
‘Uqba bin Al-Harith said that he had married the daughter of Abi Ihab bin ‘Aziz. Later on a wo –
man came to him and said, “I have suckled (nursed) Uqba and the woman whom he married (his
wife) at my breast.” ‘Uqba said to her, “Neither I knew that you have suckled (nursed) me nor did you
tell me.” Then he rode over to see Allah’s Apostle at Medina, and asked him about it. Allah’s Apostle
said, “How can you keep her as a wife when it has been said (that she is your foster-sister)?” Then
Uqba divorced her, and she married another man.

news of that day regarding the Divine Inspiration and other things, and when he went, he used to do
the same for me. Once my Ansari friend, in his turn (on returning from the Prophet), knocked viol –
ently at my door and asked if I was there.” I became horrified and came out to him. He said, “Today a
great thing has happened.” I then went to Hafsa and saw her weeping. I asked her, “Did Allah’s
Apostle divorce you all?” She replied, “I do not know.” Then, I entered upon the Prophet and said
while standing, “Have you divorced your wives?” The Prophet replied in the negative. On what I said,
“Allahu-Akbar (Allah is Greater).” (See Hadith No. 119, Vol. 3 for details)

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 90:
Narrated Abu Mas’ud Al-Ansari:
Once a man said to Allah’s Apostle “O Allah’s Apostle! I may not attend the (compulsory congrega –
tional) prayer because so and so (the Imam) prolongs the prayer when he leads us for it. The narrat –
or added: “I never saw the Prophet more furious in giving advice than he was on that day. The
Prophet said, “O people! Some of you make others dislike good deeds (the prayers). So whoever leads
the people in prayer should shorten it because among them there are the sick the weak and the
needy (having some jobs to do).”

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 91:
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
A man asked the Prophet about the picking up of a “Luqata” (fallen lost thing). The Prophet replied,
“Recognize and remember its tying material and its container, and make public announcement
(about it) for one year, then utilize it but give it to its owner if he comes.” Then the person asked
about the lost camel. On that, the Prophet got angry and his cheeks or his Face became red and he
said, “You have no concern with it as it has its water container, and its feet and it will reach water,
and eat (the leaves) of trees till its owner finds it.” The man then asked about the lost sheep. The
Prophet replied, “It is either for you, for your brother (another person) or for the wolf.”
