Volume 1, Book 9, Number 498:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
It is not good that you people have made us (women) equal to dogs and donkeys. No doubt I saw
Allah’s Apostle praying while I used to lie between him and the Qibla and when he wanted to pros –
trate, he pushed my legs and I withdrew them.
Volume 1, Book 9, Number 499:
Narrated ‘Amr bin Maimuin:
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud said, “While Allah’s Apostle was praying beside the Ka’ba, there were some
Quraish people sitting in a gathering. One of them said, ‘Don’t you see this (who does deeds just to
show off)? Who amongst you can go and bring the dung, blood and the abdominal contents (intest –
ines, etc). of the slaughtered camels of the family of so and so and then wait till he prostrates and put
that in between his shoulders?’ The most unfortunate amongst them (‘Uqba bin Abi Mu’ait) went
(and brought them) and when Allah’s Apostle prostrated, he put them between his shoulders. The
Prophet remained in prostration and they laughed so much so that they fell on each other. A
passerby went to Fatima, who was a young girl in those days. She came running and the Prophet was
still in prostration. She removed them and cursed upon the Quraish on their faces. When Allah’s
Apostle completed his prayer, he said, ‘O Allah! Take revenge on Quraish.’ He said so thrice and ad –
ded, ‘O Allah! take revenge on ‘Amr bin Hisham, ‘Utba bin Rabia, Shaiba bin Rabi’a, Al-Walid bin’Ut –
ba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, ‘Uqba bin Abi Mu’ait and ‘Umar a bin Al-Walid.” Abdullah added, “By Allah! I
saw all of them dead in the battle field on the day of Badr and they were dragged and thrown in the
Qalib (a well) at Badr: Allah’s Apostle then said, ‘Allah’s curse has descended upon the people of the
Qalib (well).

Volume 1, Book 10, Number 500:
Narrated Ibn Shihab:
Once’Umar bin ‘Abdul ‘Aziz delayed the prayer and ‘Urwa bin Az-Zubair went to him and said,
“Once in ‘Iraq, Al-MughTra bin Shu’ba delayed his prayers and Abi Mas’ud Al-Ansari went to him
and said, ‘O Mughira! What is this? Don’t you know that once Gabriel came and offered the prayer
(Fajr prayer) and Allah’s Apostle prayed too, then he prayed again (Zuhr prayer) and so did Allah’s
Apostle and again he prayed (‘Asr prayers and Allah’s Apostle did the same; again he prayed
(Maghrib-prayer) and so did Allah’s Apostle and again prayed (‘Isha prayer) and so did Allah’s
Apostle and (Gabriel) said, ‘I was ordered to do so (to demonstrate the prayers prescribed to you)?'”
‘Umar (bin ‘Abdul ‘AzTz) said to ‘Urwa, “Be sure of what you Say. Did Gabriel lead Allah’s Apostle at
the stated times of the prayers?” ‘Urwa replied, “Bashir bin Abi Mas’ud narrated like this on the au –
thority of his father.” Urwa added, “Aisha told me that Allah’s Apostle used to pray ‘Asr prayer when
the sun-shine was still inside her residence (during the early time of ‘Asr).”
