thing.”

Narrated Kuraib:
Ibn ‘Abbas said, “The Prophet slept till he snored and then prayed (or probably lay till his breath
sounds were heard and then got up and prayed).” Ibn ‘Abbas added: “I stayed overnight in the house
of my aunt, Maimuna, the Prophet slept for a part of the night, (See Fateh-al-Bari page 249, Vol. 1),
and late in the night, he got up and performed ablution from a hanging water skin, a light (perfect)
ablution and stood up for the prayer. I, too, performed a similar ablution, then I went and stood on
his left. He drew me to his right and prayed as much as Allah wished, and again lay and slept till his
breath sounds were heard. Later on the Mua’dhdhin (callmaker for the prayer) came to him and in –
formed him that it was time for Prayer. The Prophet went with him for the prayer without perform –
ing a new ablution.” (Sufyan said to ‘Amr that some people said, “The eyes of Allah’s Apostle sleep but
his heart does not sleep.” ‘Amr replied, “I heard ‘Ubaid bin ‘Umar saying that the dreams of Prophets

were Divine Inspiration, and then he recited the verse: ‘I (Abraham) see in a dream, (O my son) that I
offer you in sacrifice (to Allah).” (37.102) (See Hadith No. 183)
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 131:
Narrated Anas:
I was informed that the Prophet had said to Mu’adh, “Whosoever will meet Allah without associat –
ing anything in worship with Him will go to Paradise.” Mu’adh asked the Prophet, “Should I not in –
form the people of this good news?” The Prophet replied, “No, I am afraid, lest they should depend
upon it (absolutely).”
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 132:
Narrated Um Salama:
Um-Sulaim came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “Verily, Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it
necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge?) The
Prophet replied, “Yes, if she notices a discharge.” Um Salama, then covered her face and asked, “O Al –
lah’s Apostle! Does a woman get a discharge?” He replied, “Yes, let your right hand be in dust (An Ar –
abic expression you say to a person when you contradict his statement meaning “you will not
achieve goodness”), and that is why the son resembles his mother.”
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 126:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amar:
I saw the Prophet near the Jamra and the people were asking him questions (about religious prob –
lems). A man asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have slaughtered the Hadi (animal) before doing the Rami.”
The Prophet replied, “Do the Rami (now) and there is no harm.” Another person asked, “O Allah’s
Apostle! I got my head shaved before slaughtering the animal.” The Prophet replied, “Do the
slaughtering (now) and there is no harm.” So on that day, when the Prophet was asked about any –
thing as regards the ceremonies of Hajj performed before or after its due time his reply was, “Do it
(now) and there is no harm.”

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 127:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
While I was going with the Prophet through the ruins of Medina and he was reclining on a date-
palm leaf stalk, some Jews passed by. Some of them said to the others: Ask him (the Prophet) about
the spirit. Some of them said that they should not ask him that question as he might give a reply
which would displease them. But some of them insisted on asking, and so one of them stood up and
asked, “O Aba-l-Qasim ! What is the spirit?” The Prophet remained quiet. I thought he was being in –
spired Divinely. So I stayed till that state of the Prophet (while being inspired) was over. The Prophet
then said, “And they ask you (O Muhammad) concerning the spirit –Say: The spirit — its knowledge
is with my Lord. And of knowledge you (mankind) have been given only a little).” (17.85)

Narrated Aswad:
Ibn Az-Zubair said to me, “Aisha used to tell you secretly a number of things. What did she tell you
about the Ka’ba?” I replied, “She told me that once the Prophet said, ‘O ‘Aisha! Had not your people
been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance (infidelity)! I would have dismantled the Ka’ba
and would have made two doors in it; one for entrance and the other for exit.” Later on Ibn Az-
Zubair did the same.
