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.”

Volume 1, Book 12, Number 804:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Some poor people came to the Prophet and said, “The wealthy people will get higher grades and
will have permanent enjoyment and they pray like us and fast as we do. They have more money by
which they perform the Hajj, and ‘Umra; fight and struggle in Allah’s Cause and give in charity.” The
Prophet said, “Shall I not tell you a thing upon which if you acted you would catch up with those
who have surpassed you? Nobody would overtake you and you would be better than the people
amongst whom you live except those who would do the same. Say “Sub-han-al-lah”, “Alhamdu-lil –
lah” and “Allahu Akbar” thirty three times each after every (compulsory) prayer.” We differed and
some of us said that we should say, “Subhan-al-lah” thirty three times and “Alhamdu lillah” thirty

three times and “Allahu Akbar” thirty four times. I went to the Prophet who said, “Say, “Subhan-al-
lah” and “Alhamdu lillah” and “Allahu Akbar” all together for thirty three times.”
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 805:
Narrated Warrad:
(the clerk of Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba) Once Al-Mughira dictated to me in a letter addressed to
Mu’awiya that the Prophet used to say after every compulsory prayer, “La ilaha ilallah wahdahu la
sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa-lahul-hamdu, wahuwa ala kulli shai in qadir. Allahumma la mani ‘a
lima a’taita, wa la mu’tiya lima mana’ta, wa la yanfa’u dhal-jaddi minka-l-jadd. (None has the right
to be worshipped but Allah and He has no partner in Lordship or in worship or in the Names and the
Qualities, and for Him is the Kingdom and all the praises are for Him and He is omnipotent. O Allah!
Nobody can hold back what you give and nobody can give what You hold back. Hard (efforts by
anyone for anything cannot benefit one against Your Will).” And Al-Hasan said, “Al-jadd’ means
prosperity.”
