Volume 4, Book 55, Number 558:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet said, “I have been made victorious with As-Saba (i.e. an easterly wind) and the people
of ‘Ad were destroyed by Ad-Dabur (i.e. a westerly wind).” Narrated Abu Said: Ali sent a piece of gold
to the Prophet who distributed it among four persons: Al-Aqra’ bin Habis Al-Hanzali from the tribe
of Mujashi, ‘Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, Zaid At-Ta’i who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Nahban, and
‘Alqama bin Ulatha Al-‘Amir who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Kilab. So the Quraish and the Ansar
became angry and said, “He (i.e. the Prophet, ) gives the chief of Najd and does not give us.” The
Prophet said, “I give them) so as to attract their hearts (to Islam).” Then a man with sunken eyes,
prominent checks, a raised forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head, came (in front of the
Prophet ) and said, “Be afraid of Allah, O Muhammad!” The Prophet ‘ said “Who would obey Allah if I
disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allah has trusted all the people of the earth to me while, you do not
trust me?” Somebody who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walid, requested the Prophet to let him chop
that man’s head off, but he prevented him. When the man left, the Prophet said, “Among the off-
spring of this man will be some who will recite the Qur’an but the Qur’an will not reach beyond
their throats (i.e. they will recite like parrots and will not understand it nor act on it), and they will
renegade from the religion as an arrow goes through the game’s body. They will kill the Muslims but
will not disturb the idolaters. If I should live up to their time’ I will kill them as the people of ‘Ad
were killed (i.e. I will kill all of them).”

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 545:
Narrated Abu Salama:
Um Salama said, “Um Salaim said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Allah does not refrain from saying the truth!
Is it obligatory for a woman to take a bath after she gets nocturnal discharge?’ He said, ‘Yes, if she
notices the water (i.e. discharge).’ Um Salama smiled and said, ‘Does a woman get discharge?’ Allah’s
Apostle said. ‘Then why does a child resemble (its mother)?”

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
When Allah’s Apostle landed at Al-Hijr during the Ghazwa of Tabuk, he ordered his companions
not to drink water from its well or reserve water from it. They said, “We have already kneaded the
dough with its water. and also filled our bags with its water.” On that, the Prophet ordered them to
throw away the dough and pour out the water.
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 546:
Narrated Anas:
When ‘Abdullah bin Salam heard the arrival of the Prophet at Medina, he came to him and said, “I
am going to ask you about three things which nobody knows except a prophet: What is the first
portent of the Hour? What will be the first meal taken by the people of Paradise? Why does a child
resemble its father, and why does it resemble its maternal uncle” Allah’s Apostle said, “Gabriel has

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 55: PROPHETS
just now told me of their answers.” ‘Abdullah said, “He (i.e. Gabriel), from amongst all the angels, is
the enemy of the Jews.” Allah’s Apostle said, “The first portent of the Hour will be a fire that will bring
together the people from the east to the west; the first meal of the people of Paradise will be Extra-
lobe (caudate lobe) of fish-liver. As for the resemblance of the child to its parents: If a man has sexu –
al intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if the wo –
man gets discharge first, the child will resemble her.” On that ‘Abdullah bin Salam said, “I testify that
you are the Apostle of Allah.” ‘Abdullah bin Salam further said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The Jews are liars,
and if they should come to know about my conversion to Islam before you ask them (about me), they
would tell a lie about me.” The Jews came to Allah’s Apostle and ‘Abdullah went inside the house. Al –
lah’s Apostle asked (the Jews), “What kind of man is ‘Abdullah bin Salam amongst you?” They replied,
“He is the most learned person amongst us, and the best amongst us, and the son of the best amongst
us.” Allah’s Apostle said, “What do you think if he embraces Islam (will you do as he does)?” The Jews
said, “May Allah save him from it.” Then ‘Abdullah bin Salam came out in front of them saying, “I
testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Al –
lah.” Thereupon they said, “He is the evilest among us, and the son of the evilest amongst us,” and
continued talking badly of him.

with the dough, and ordered them to take water from the well whence the she-camel (of Prophet Sa –
lih) used to drink.
