Narrated Anas bin Malik:
My grandmother Mulaika invited Allah’s Apostle for a meal which she had prepared specially for
him. He ate some of it and said, “Get up. I shall lead you in the prayer.” I brought a mat that had be –
come black owing to excessive use and I sprinkled water on it. Allah’s Apostle stood on it and prayed
two Rakat; and the orphan was with me (in the first row), and the old lady stood behind us.

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
Once I came riding a she-ass and I, then, had just attained the age of puberty. Allah’s Apostle was
leading the people in prayer at Mina facing no wall. I passed in front of the row and let loose the
she-ass for grazing and joined the row and no one objected to my deed.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Once Allah’s Apostle delayed the ‘Isha’ prayer till ‘Umar informed him that the women and chil –
dren had slept. Then Allah’s Apostle came out and said: “None from amongst the dwellers of earth
have prayed this prayer except you.” In those days none but the people of Medina prayed.
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 822:
Narrated ‘Abdur Rahman bin ‘Abis:
A person asked Ibn Abbas, “Have you ever presented yourself at the (‘Id) prayer with Allah’s
Apostle?” He replied, “Yes.” And had it not been for my kinship (position) with the Prophet it would
not have been possible for me to do so (for he was too young). The Prophet went to the mark near the
house of Kathir bin As-Salt and delivered a sermon. He then went towards the women. He advised
and reminded them and asked them to give alms. So the woman would bring her hand near her neck
and take off her necklace and put it in the garment of Bilal. Then the Prophet and Bilal came to the
house.”

The Prophet led us in the Fajr prayer at Hudaibiya after a rainy night. On completion of the pray –

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.’ “

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.”

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).”
