(Once) the Prophet said, “Have you got carpets?” I replied, “Whence can we get carpets?” He said,
“But you shall soon have carpets.” I used to say to my wife, “Remove your carpets from my sight,” but
she would say, “Didn’t the Prophet tell you that you would soon have carpets?” So I would give up my
request.

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 826:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
Sa’d bin Mu’adh came to Mecca with the intention of performing ‘Umra, and stayed at the house of
Umaiya bin Khalaf Abi Safwan, for Umaiya himself used to stay at Sa’d’s house when he passed by
Medina on his way to Sham. Umaiya said to Sad, “Will you wait till midday when the people are (at
their homes), then you may go and perform the Tawaf round the Ka’ba?” So, while Sad was going
around the Ka’ba, Abu Jahl came and asked, “Who is that who is performing Tawaf?” Sad replied, “I
am Sad.” Abu Jahl said, “Are you circumambulating the Ka’ba safely although you have given refuge
to Muhammad and his companions?” Sad said, “Yes,” and they started quarreling. Umaiya said to Sad,
“Don’t shout at Abi-l-Hakam (i.e. Abu Jahl), for he is chief of the valley (of Mecca).” Sad then said (to
Abu Jahl). ‘By Allah, if you prevent me from performing the Tawaf of the Ka’ba, I will spoil your trade
with Sham.” Umaiya kept on saying to Sad, “Don’t raise your voice.” and kept on taking hold of him.
Sad became furious and said, (to Umaiya), “Be away from me, for I have heard Muhammad saying
that he will kill you.” Umaiiya said, “Will he kill me?” Sad said, “Yes,.” Umaiya said, “By Allah! When
Muhammad says a thing, he never tells a lie.” Umaiya went to his wife and said to her, “Do you know
what my brother from Yathrib (i.e. Medina) has said to me?” She said, “What has he said?” He said,
“He claims that he has heard Muhammad claiming that he will kill me.”

She said, By Allah! Muhammad never tells a lie.” So when the infidels started to proceed for Badr
(Battle) and declared war (against the Muslims), his wife said to him, “Don’t you remember what
your brother from Yathrib told you?” Umaiya decided not to go but Abu Jahl said to him, “You are
from the nobles of the valley of Mecca), so you should accompany us for a day or two.” He went with
them and thus Allah got him killed.
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 827:
Narrated Abu Uthman:
I got the news that Gabriel came to the Prophet while Um Salama was present. Gabriel started
talking (to the Prophet and then left. The Prophet said to Um Salama, “(Do you know) who it was?”
(or a similar question). She said, “It was Dihya (a handsome person amongst the companions of the
Prophet ).” Later on Um Salama said, “By Allah! I thought he was none but Dihya, till I heard the
Prophet talking about Gabriel in his sermon.” (The Sub-narrator asked Abu ‘Uthman, “From where
have you heard this narration?” He replied, “From Usama bin Zaid.”)

Narrated ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle said, “I saw (in a dream) the people assembled in a gathering, and then Abu Bakr
got up and drew one or two buckets of water (from a well) but there was weakness in his drawing.
May Allah forgive him. Then ‘Umar took the bucket and in his hands it turned into a very large
bucket. I had never seen anyone amongst: the people who could draw the water as strongly as ‘Umar
till all the people drank their fill and watered their camels that knelt down there.
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 829:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
The Jews came to Allah’s Apostle and told him that a man and a woman from amongst them had
committed illegal sexual intercourse. Allah’s Apostle said to them, “What do you find in the Torah
(old Testament) about the legal punishment of Ar-Rajm (stoning)?” They replied, (But) we announce
their crime and lash them.” Abdullah bin Salam said, “You are telling a lie; Torah contains the order
of Rajm.” They brought and opened the Torah and one of them solaced his hand on the Verse of Rajm
and read the verses preceding and following it. Abdullah bin Salam said to him, “Lift your hand.”
When he lifted his hand, the Verse of Rajm was written there. They said, “Muhammad has told the
truth; the Torah has the Verse of Rajm. The Prophet then gave the order that both of them should be
stoned to death. (‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, “I saw the man leaning over the woman to shelter her
from the stones.”
