Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
There was a woman amongst us who had a farm and she used to sow Silq (a kind of vegetable) on
the edges of streams in her farm. On Fridays she used to pull out the Silq from its roots and put the
roots in a utensil. Then she would put a handful of powdered barley over it and cook it. The roots of
the Silq were a substitute for meat. After finishing the Jumua prayer we used to greet her and she
would give us that food which we would eat with our hands, and because of that meal, we used to
look forward to Friday.

Narrated ‘Amr bin Taghlib:
Volume 2 – 214 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 13: FRIDAY PRAYER
Some property or something was brought to Allah’s Apostle and he distributed it. He gave to some
men and ignored the others. Later he got the news of his being admonished by those whom he had
ignored. So he glorified and praised Allah and said, “Amma ba’du. By Allah, I may give to a man and
ignore another, although the one whom I ignore is more beloved to me than the one whom I give.
But I give to some people as I feel that they have no patience and no contentment in their hearts and
I leave those who are patient and self-contented with the goodness and wealth which Allah has put
into their hearts and ‘Amr bin Taghlib is one of them.” Amr added, By Allah! Those words of Allah’s
Apostle are more beloved to me than the best red camels.

Narrated Aisha:
Once in the middle of the night Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) went out and prayed in the mosque and
some men prayed with him. The next morning the people spoke about it and so more people
gathered and prayed with him (in the second night). They circulated the news in the morning, and
so, on the third night the number of people increased greatly. Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) came out and
they prayed behind him. On the fourth night the mosque was overwhelmed by the people till it
could not accommodate them. Allah’s Apostle came out only for the Fajr prayer and when he fin –
ished the prayer, he faced the people and recited “Tashah-hud” (I testify that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle), and then said, “Amma ba’du. Verily your
presence (in the mosque at night) was not hidden from me, but I was afraid that this prayer (Prayer
of Tahajjud) might be made compulsory and you might not be able to carry it out.”
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 31:
Narrated Abu Huraira:

calmly and pray whatever you get, and complete whatever is missed. “

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Abi Qatada on the authority of his father:

and solemnity”.
