Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to that of mine.
Allah’s Apostle had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was about to quarrel with him (during
the prayer) but I waited till he finished, then I tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it
and brought him to Allah’s Apostle and said, “I have heard him reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way
different to the way you taught it to me.” The Prophet ordered me to release him and asked Hisham
to recite it. When he recited it, Allah s Apostle said, “It was revealed in this way.” He then asked me to
recite it. When I recited it, he said, “It was revealed in this way. The Qur’an has been revealed in sev –
en different ways, so recite it in the way that is easier for you.”

I heard a man reciting a verse (of the Holy Qur’an) but I had heard the Prophet reciting it differ –
ently. So, I caught hold of the man by the hand and took him to Allah’s Apostle who said, “Both of you
are right.” Shu’ba, the sub-narrator said, “I think he said to them, “Don’t differ, for the nations before
you differed and perished (because of their differences). “

Two persons, a Muslim and a Jew, quarrelled. The Muslim said, “By Him Who gave Muhammad
superiority over all the people! The Jew said, “By Him Who gave Moses superiority over all the
people!” At that the Muslim raised his hand and slapped the Jew on the face. The Jew went to the
Prophet and informed him of what had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet sent for
the Muslim and asked him about it. The Muslim informed him of the event. The Prophet said, “Do not
give me superiority over Moses, for on the Day of Resurrection all the people will fall unconscious
and I will be one of them, but I will. be the first to gain consciousness, and will see Moses standing

and holding the side of the Throne (of Allah). I will not know whether (Moses) has also fallen un –
conscious and got up before me, or Allah has exempted him from that stroke.”
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 595:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
While Allah’s Apostle was sitting, a Jew came and said, “O Abul Qasim! One of your companions
has slapped me on my face.” The Prophet asked who that was. He replied that he was one of the An –
sar. The Prophet sent for him, and on his arrival, he asked him whether he had beaten the Jew. He
(replied in the affirmative and) said, “I heard him taking an oath in the market saying, ‘By Him Who
gave Moses superiority over all the human beings.’ I said, ‘O wicked man! (Has Allah given Moses
superiority) even over Muhammad I became furious
and slapped him over his face.” The Prophet said, “Do not give a prophet superiority over another,
for on the Day of Resurrection all the people will fall unconscious and I will be the first to emerge
from the earth, and will see Moses standing and holding one of the legs of the Throne. I will not
know whether Moses has fallen unconscious or the first unconsciousness was sufficient for him.”

Volume 3, Book 41, Number 589:
Narrated Jabir:
When ‘Abdullah (my father) died, he left behind children and debts. I asked the lenders to put
down some of his debt, but they refused, so I went to the Prophet to intercede with them, yet they re –
fused. The Prophet said (to me), “Classify your dates into their different kinds: ‘Adhq bin Zaid, Lean
and ‘Ajwa, each kind alone and call all the creditors and wait till I come to you.” I did so and the
Prophet came and sat beside the dates and started measuring to each his due till he paid them fully,
and the amount of dates remained as it was before, as if he had not touched them.
(On another occasion) I took part in one of Ghazawat among with the Prophet and I was riding
one of our camels. The camel got tired and was lagging behind the others. The Prophet hit it on its
back. He said, “Sell it to me, and you have the right to ride it till Medina.” When we approached
Medina, I took the permission from the Prophet to go to my house, saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have
newly married.” The Prophet asked, “Have you married a virgin or a matron (a widow or divorcee)?”
I said, “I have married a matron, as ‘Abdullah (my father) died and left behind daughters small in
their ages, so I married a matron who may teach them and bring them up with good manners.” The
Prophet then said (to me), “Go to your family.” When I went there and told my maternal uncle about
the selling of the camel, he admonished me for it. On that I told him about its slowness and exhaus –
tion and about what the Prophet had done to the camel and his hitting it. When the Prophet arrived,
I went to him with the camel in the morning and he gave me its price, the camel itself, and my share
from the war booty as he gave the other people.
