Narrated Sad bin Abi Waqqas:
Once Umar asked the leave to see Allah’s Apostle in whose company there were some Quraishi
women who were talking to him and asking him for more financial support raising their voices.
When ‘Umar asked permission to enter the women got up (quickly) hurrying to screen themselves.
When Allah’s Apostle admitted ‘Umar, Allah’s Apostle was smiling, ‘Umar asked, “O Allah’s Apostle!
May Allah keep you gay always.” Allah’s Apostle said, “I am astonished at these women who were
with me. As soon as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves.” ‘Umar said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! You have more right to be feared by them.” Then he addressed (those women) saying, “O en –

emies of your own souls! Do you fear me and not Allah’s Apostle ?” They replied. “Yes, for you are a
fearful and fierce man as compared with Allah’s Apostle.” On that Allah’s Apostle said (to ‘Umar), “By
Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a path, he follows a path other than
yours.”

Allah’s Apostle said, “The main source of disbelief is in the east. Pride and arrogance are character –

Somebody said to Usama, “Will you go to so-and-so (i.e. ‘Uthman) and talk to him (i.e. advise him
regarding ruling the country)?” He said, “You see that I don’t talk to him. Really I talk to (advise) him
secretly without opening a gate (of affliction), for neither do I want to be the first to open it (i.e. re –
bellion), nor will I say to a man who is my ruler that he is the best of all the people after I have heard
something from Allah s Apostle .” They said, What have you heard him saying? He said, “I have heard
him saying, “A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in the (Hell) Fire, so that
his intestines will come out, and he will go around like a donkey goes around a millstone. The people
of (Hell) Fire will gather around him and say: O so-and-so! What is wrong with you? Didn’t you use
to order us to do good deeds and forbid us to do bad deeds? He will reply: Yes, I used to order you to
do good deeds, but I did not do them myself, and I used to forbid you to do bad deeds, yet I used to do
them myself.”
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 490:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Magic was worked on the Prophet so that he began to fancy that he was doing a thing which he
was not actually doing. One day he invoked (Allah) for a long period and then said, “I feel that Allah
has inspired me as how to cure myself. Two persons came to me (in my dream) and sat, one by my
head and the other by my feet. One of them asked the other, “What is the ailment of this man?” The
other replied, ‘He has been bewitched” The first asked, ‘Who has bewitched him?’ The other replied,
‘Lubaid bin Al-A’sam.’ The first one asked, ‘What material has he used?’ The other replied, ‘A comb,
the hair gathered on it, and the outer skin of the pollen of the male date-palm.’ The first asked,
‘Where is that?’ The other replied, ‘It is in the well of Dharwan.’ ” So, the Prophet went out towards
the well and then returned and said to me on his return, “Its date-palms (the date-palms near the
well) are like the heads of the devils.” I asked, “Did you take out those things with which the magic
was worked?” He said, “No, for I have been cured by Allah and I am afraid that this action may
spread evil amongst the people.” Later on the well was filled up with earth.
