Narrated Sahl:
When the helmet of the Prophet was smashed on his head and blood covered his face and one of
his front teeth got broken, ‘Ali brought the water in his shield and Fatima the Prophet’s daughter)
washed him. But when she saw that the bleeding increased more by the water, she took a mat, burnt
it, and placed the ashes on the wound of the Prophet and so the blood stopped oozing out.

Narrated ‘Umar:
The properties of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had transferred to His Apostle as Fai Booty were not
gained by the Muslims with their horses and camels. The properties therefore, belonged especially to
Allah’s Apostle who used to give his family their yearly expenditure and spend what remained there –
of on arms and horses to be used in Allah’s Cause.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Allah’s Apostle came to my house while two girls were singing beside me the songs of Bu’ath (a
story about the war between the two tribes of the Ansar, i.e. Khazraj and Aus, before Islam.) The
Prophet reclined on the bed and turned his face to the other side. Abu Bakr came and scolded me and
said protestingly, “Instrument of Satan in the presence of Allah’s Apostle?” Allah’s Apostle turned his
face towards him and said, “Leave them.” When Abu Bakr became inattentive, I waved the two girls
to go away and they left. It was the day of ‘Id when negroes used to play with leather shields and
spears. Either I requested Allah’s Apostle or he himself asked me whether I would like to see the dis –
play. I replied in the affirmative. Then he let me stand behind him and my cheek was touching his

cheek and he was saying, “Carry on, O Bani Arfida (i.e. negroes)!” When I got tired, he asked me if
that was enough. I replied in the affirmative and he told me to leave.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 156:
Narrated Anas:
The ‘Prophet was the best and the bravest amongst the people. Once the people of Medina got ter –
rified at night, so they went in the direction of the noise (that terrified them). The Prophet met them
(on his way back) after he had found out the truth. He was riding an unsaddled horse belonging to
Abu Talha and a sword was hanging by his neck, and he was saying, “Don’t be afraid! Don’t be
afraid!” He further said, “I found it (i.e. the horse) very fast,” or said, “This horse is very fast.” (Qastala-
ni)

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
That he proceeded in the company of Allah’s Apostle towards Najd to participate in a Ghazwa.
(Holy-battle) When Allah’s Apostle returned, he too returned with him. Midday came upon them
while they were in a valley having many thorny trees. Allah’s Apostle and the people dismounted and
dispersed to rest in the shade of the trees. Allah’s Apostle rested under a tree and hung his sword on
it. We all took a nap and suddenly we heard Allah’s Apostle calling us. (We woke up) to see a
bedouin with him. The Prophet said, “This bedouin took out my sword while I was sleeping and
when I woke up, I found the unsheathed sword in his hand and he challenged me saying, ‘Who will
save you from me?’ I said thrice, ‘Allah.’ The Prophet did not punish him but sat down.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 143:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said to Abu Talha, “Choose one of your boy servants to serve me in my expedition to
Khaibar.” So, Abu Talha took me letting me ride behind him while I was a boy nearing the age of pu –
berty. I used to serve Allah’s Apostle when he stopped to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, “O Al –
lah! I seek refuge with You from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserli –
ness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by men.” Then we reached
Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya bint
Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him. Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. So Al –
lah’s Apostle selected her for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place called Sad-
AsSahba,’ where her menses were over and he took her for his wife. Haris (a kind of dish) was served
on a small leather sheet. Then Allah’s Apostle told me to call those who were around me. So, that was
the marriage banquet of Allah’s Apostle and Safiya. Then we left for Medina. I saw Allah’s Apostle
folding a cloak round the hump of the camel so as to make a wide space for Safiya (to sit on behind
him) He sat beside his camel letting his knees for Safiya to put her feet on so as to mount the camel.
Then, we proceeded till we approached Medina; he looked at Uhud (mountain) and said, “This is a
mountain which loves us and is loved by us.” Then he looked at Medina and said, “O Allah! I make
the area between its (i.e. Medina’s) two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary.
O Allah! Bless them (i.e. the people of Medina) in their Mudd and Sa (i.e. measures).”
