heard Allah’s Apostle mentioning something about him? Ubai bin Ka’b said: “Yes, I heard the Prophet
mentioning something about him (saying) while Moses was sitting in the company of some Israelites,
a man came and asked him: “Do you know anyone who is more learned than you? Moses replied:
“No.” So Allah sent the Divine Inspiration to Moses: ‘–Yes, Our slave Khadir is more learned than
you. Moses asked Allah how to meet him (Al-Khadir). So Allah made the fish a sign for him and he
was told when the fish was lost, he should return (to the place where he had lost it) and there he
would meet him (Al-Khadir). So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea. The ser –
vant-boy of Moses said: ‘Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the
fish, none but Satan made me forget to remember it. On that Moses said, ‘That is what we have been
seeking.’ So they went back retracing their footsteps, and found Kha,dir. (and) what happened fur –
ther about them is narrated in the Holy Qur’an by Allah.” (18.54 up to 18.82)

While we were sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made
his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: “Who amongst you is
Muhammad?” At that time the Prophet was sitting amongst us (his companions) leaning on his arm.
We replied, “This white man reclining on his arm.” The an then addressed him, “O Son of ‘Abdul
Muttalib.”
The Prophet said, “I am here to answer your questions.” The man said to the Prophet, “I want to ask
you something and will be hard in questioning. So do not get angry.” The Prophet said, “Ask whatever
you want.” The man said, “I ask you by your Lord, and the Lord of those who were before you, has Al –
lah sent you as an Apostle to all the mankind?” The Prophet replied, “By Allah, yes.” The man further
said, “I ask you by Allah. Has Allah ordered you to offer five prayers in a day and night (24 hours).?
He replied, “By Allah, Yes.” The man further said, “I ask you by Allah! Has Allah ordered you to ob –
serve fasts during this month of the year (i.e. Ramadan)?” He replied, “By Allah, Yes.” The man further
said, “I ask you by Allah. Has Allah ordered you to take Zakat (obligatory charity) from our rich
people and distribute it amongst our poor people?” The Prophet replied, “By Allah, yes.” Thereupon
that man said, “I have believed in all that with which you have been sent, and I have been sent by my
people as a messenger, and I am Dimam bin Tha’laba from the brothers of Bani Sa’d bin Bakr.”
Volume 1, Book 3, Number 79:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, “The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like
abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and
brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the
rain water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their an –
imals drink from it and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren
which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The
first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah’s religion and gets benefit (from the
knowledge) which Allah has revealed through me (the Prophets and learns and then teaches others.
The last example is that of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah’s guidance re –
vealed through me (He is like that barren land.)”

Narrated Abu Waqid Al-Laithi:
While Allah’s Apostle was sitting in the mosque with some people, three men came. Two of them
came in front of Allah’s Apostle and the third one went away. The two persons kept on standing be –
fore Allah’s Apostle for a while and then one of them found a place in the circle and sat there while
the other sat behind the gathering, and the third one went away. When Allah’s Apostle finished his
preaching, he said, “Shall I tell you about these three persons? One of them be-took himself to Allah,
so Allah took him into His grace and mercy and accommodated him, the second felt shy from Allah,
so Allah sheltered Him in His mercy (and did not punish him), while the third turned his face from
Allah and went away, so Allah turned His face from him likewise. “
