(the freed slave of Um Hani) Um Hani, the daughter of Abi Talib said, “I went to Allah’s Apostle in
the year of the conquest of Mecca and found him taking a bath and his daughter Fatima was screen –
ing him. I greeted him. He asked, ‘Who is she?’ I replied, ‘I am Um Hani bint Abi Talib.’ He said, ‘Wel –
come! O Um Hani.’ When he finished his bath he stood up and prayed eight Rak at while wearing a
single garment wrapped round his body and when he finished I said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle ! My brother
has told me that he will kill a person whom I gave shelter and that person is so and so the son of
Hubaira.’ The Prophet said, ‘We shelter the person whom you have sheltered.’ ” Um Ham added, “And
that was before noon (Duha).”

wanted. When I finished, he asked, ‘O Jabir! What is this garment which I have seen and with which
you covered your shoulders?’ I replied, ‘It is a (tight) garment.’ He said, ‘If the garment is large

Once I was traveling with the Prophet and he said, “O Mughira! take this container of water.” I
took it and Allah’s Apostle went far away till he disappeared. He answered the call of nature and was
wearing a Syrian cloak. He tried to take out his hands from its sleeve but it was very tight so he took
out his hands from under it. I poured water and he performed ablution like that for prayers and
passed his wet hands over his Khuff (leather socks) and then prayed .

While Allah’s Apostle was carrying stones (along) with the people of Mecca for (the building of)
the Ka’ba wearing an Izar (waist-sheet cover), his uncle Al-‘Abbas said to him, “O my nephew! (It
would be better) if you take off your Izar and put it over your shoulders underneath the stones.” So
he took off his Izar and put it over his shoulders, but he fell unconscious and since then he had never
been seen naked.
