Volume 4, Book 55, Number 587:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Apostle said (to her). “Don’t you see that when your folk built the
Ka’ba, they did not build it on all the foundations built by Abraham?” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Why
don’t we rebuild it on the foundations of Abraham?” He said. “But for the fact that your folk have re –
cently given up infidelity (I would have done so).”
Narrated Ibn Umar: Aisha must have heard this from Allah’s Apostle for I see that Allah’s Apostle
used not to touch the two corners facing Al-Hijr only because the House had not been built on the
foundations of Abraham”

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 603:
Narrated ‘Urwa:
I asked ‘Aisha the wife of the Prophet about the meaning of the following Verse: — “(Respite will
be granted) ‘Until when the apostles give up hope (of their people) and thought that they were
denied (by their people)……………”(12.110) ‘Aisha replied, “Really, their nations did not believe them.” I
said, “By Allah! They were definite that their nations treated them as liars and it was not a matter of
suspecting.” ‘Aisha said, “O ‘Uraiya (i.e. ‘Urwa)! No doubt, they were quite sure about it.”
I said, “May the Verse be read in such a way as to mean that the apostles thought that Allah did not
help them?” Aisha said, “Allah forbid! (Impossible) The Apostles did not suspect their Lord of such a
thing. But this Verse is concerned with the Apostles’ followers who had faith in their Lord and be –
lieved in their apostles and their period of trials was long and Allah’s Help was delayed till the
apostles gave up hope for the conversion of the disbelievers amongst their nation and suspected that
even their followers were shaken in their belief, Allah’s Help then came to them.” Narrated Ibn
‘Umar: The Prophet said, “The honorable, the son of the honorable, the son of the honorable, (was)
Joseph, the son of Jacob! the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham.”

Ka’b bin Ujrah met me and said, “Shall I not give you a present I got from the Prophet?” ‘Abdur-

should one (ask Allah to) send blessings on you, the members of the family, for Allah has taught us
how to salute you (in the prayer)?’ He said, ‘Say: O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on
the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your Mercy on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for
You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious. O Allah! Send Your Blessings on Muhammad

ham) said: “Yes, but (I ask) in order to be stronger in Faith.” (2.260) And may Allah send His Mercy
on Lot! He wished to have a powerful support. If I were to stay in prison for such a long time as
Joseph did I would have accepted the offer (of freedom without insisting on having my guiltless less
declared).”

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 592:
Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa:
The Prophet passed by some persons of the tribe of Aslam practicing archery (i.e. the throwing of
arrows) Allah’s Apostle said, “O offspring of Ishmael! Practice archery (i.e. arrow throwing) as your
father was a great archer (i.e. arrow-thrower). I am with (on the side of) the son of so-and-so-.”
Hearing that, one of the two teams stopped throwing. Allah’s Apostle asked them, ‘ Why are you not
throwing?” They replied, “O Allah’s Apostle! How shall we throw when you are with the opposite
team?” He said, “Throw, for I am with you all.”
