The Prophet said, “Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. (The first is) A person, whom
Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously; (the second is) the one whom Allah has given
wisdom (the Holy Qur’an) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.” (Fateh-al-Bari page

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
That he differed with Hur bin Qais bin Hisn Al-Fazari regarding the companion of (the Prophet)
Moses. Ibn ‘Abbas said that he was Khadir. Meanwhile, Ubai bin Ka’b passed by them and Ibn ‘Abbas
called him, saying “My friend (Hur) and I have differed regarding Moses’ companion whom Moses,
asked the way to meet. Have you heard the Prophet mentioning something about him? He said, “Yes.
I heard Allah’s Apostle 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 (Khadir). So Allah made the fish as a sign for him and he was told
that 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 servant-boy
of Moses said to him: 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? (18.64) So they went back retracing their foot-steps, and found Khadir. (And) what
happened further to them is narrated in the Holy Qur’an by Allah. (18.54 up to 18.82)

A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to Allah’s Apostle and we heard his loud voice but

night (24 hours).” The man asked, “Is there any more (praying)?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “No, but if
you want to offer the Nawafil prayers (you can).” Allah’s Apostle further said to him: “You have to
observe fasts during the month of Ramad, an.” The man asked, “Is there any more fasting?” Allah’s
Apostle replied, “No, but if you want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)” Then Allah’s Apostle fur –

other than the Zakat for me to pay?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “No, unless you want to give alms of
