Volume 1, Book 8, Number 419:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned about a church they had seen in Ethiopia in which there
were pictures. They told the Prophet about it, on which he said, “If any religious man dies amongst
those people they would build a place of worship at his grave and make these pictures in it. They will
be the worst creature in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection.”

Narrated Anas:
When the Prophet arrived Medina he dismounted at ‘Awali-i-Medina amongst a tribe called Banu
‘Amr bin ‘Auf. He stayed there For fourteen nights. Then he sent for Bani An-Najjar and they came
armed with their swords. As if I am looking (just now) as the Prophet was sitting over his Rahila
(Mount) with Abu Bakr riding behind him and all Banu An-Najjar around him till he dismounted at
the courtyard of Abu Aiyub’s house. The Prophet loved to pray wherever the time for the prayer was
due even at sheep-folds. Later on he ordered that a mosque should be built and sent for some people
of Banu-An-Najjar and said, “O Banu An-Najjar! Suggest to me the price of this (walled) piece of
land of yours.” They replied, “No! By Allah! We do not demand its price except from Allah.” Anas ad –
ded: There were graves of pagans in it and some of it was unleveled and there were some date-palm
trees in it. The Prophet ordered that the graves of the pagans be dug out and the unleveled land be
level led and the date-palm trees be cut down . (So all that was done). They aligned these cut date-
palm trees towards the Qibla of the mosque (as a wall) and they also built two stone side-walls (of
the mosque). His companions brought the stones while reciting some poetic verses. The Prophet was

with them and he kept on saying, “There is no goodness except that of the Hereafter, O Allah! So
please forgive the Ansars and the emigrants. “

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 409:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet saw expectoration (on the wall of the mosque) in the direction of the Qibla and
scraped it off with his hand. It seemed that he disliked it and the sign of disgust was apparent from
his face. He said, “If anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord, (or) his
Lord is between him and his Qibla, therefore he should not spit towards his Qibla, but he could spit
either on his left or under his foot.” Then he took the corner of his sheet and spat in it, folded it and
said, “Or do like this.”
