Volume 4, Book 55, Number 639:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
When the Verse:– ‘Those who believe and mix not their belief with wrong.’ was revealed, the
Muslims felt it very hard on them and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who amongst us does not do wrong
to himself?” He replied, “The Verse does not mean this. But that (wrong) means to associate others in
worship to Allah: Don’t you listen to what Luqman said to his son when he was advising him,” O my
son! Join not others in worship with Allah. Verily joining others in worship with Allah is a great
wrong indeed.” (31.13)

Narrated Malik bin Sasaa:
That the Prophet talked to them about the night of his Ascension to the Heavens. He said, “(Then
Gabriel took me) and ascended up till he reached the second heaven where he asked for the gate to
be opened, but it was asked, ‘Who is it?’ Gabriel replied, ‘I am Gabriel.’ It was asked, ‘Who is accom –
panying you?’ He replied, ‘Muhammad.’ It was asked, ‘Has he been called?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ When we
reached over the second heaven, I saw Yahya (i.e. John) and Jesus who were cousins. Gabriel said,
‘These are John (Yahya) and Jesus, so greet them.’ I greeted them and they returned the greeting say –
ing, ‘Welcome, O Pious Brother and Pious Prophet!;’ “

Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:
Abu Huraira said, “I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘There is none born among the off-spring of
Adam, but Satan touches it. A child therefore, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of
Satan, except Mary and her child.” Then Abu Huraira recited: “And I seek refuge with You for her
and for her offspring from the outcast Satan” (3.36)
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 626:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Once while a Jew was selling something, he was offered a price that he was not pleased with. So,
he said, “No, by Him Who gave Moses superiority over all human beings!” Hearing him, an Ansari
man got up and slapped him on the face and said, “You say: By Him Who Gave Moses superiority
over all human beings although the Prophet (Muhammad) is present amongst us!” The Jew went to
the Prophet and said, “O Abu-l-Qasim! I am under the assurance and contract of security, so what
right does so-and-so have to slap me?” The Prophet asked the other, “Why have you slapped”. He told
him the whole story. The Prophet became angry, till anger appeared on his face, and said, “Don’t give
superiority to any prophet amongst Allah’s Prophets, for when the trumpet will be blown, everyone
on the earth and in the heavens will become unconscious except those whom Allah will exempt. The
trumpet will be blown for the second time and I will be the first to be resurrected to see Moses hold –
ing Allah’s Throne. I will not know whether the unconsciousness which Moses received on the Day
of Tur has been sufficient for him, or has he got up before me. And I do not say that there is anybody
who is better than Yunus bin Matta.”

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
The Prophet said, “The superiority of ‘Aisha to other ladies is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e.
meat and bread dish) to other meals. Many men reached the level of perfection, but no woman
reached such a level except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh.”
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “Amongst all those women who ride camels
(i.e. Arabs), the ladies of Quraish are the best. They are merciful and kind to their off-spring and the
best guardians of their husbands’ properties.’ Abu Huraira added, “Mary the daughter of Imran never
rode a camel.”
