Narrated Abu Huraira:

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 723:
Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:
Al-Bahira was an animal whose milk was spared for the idols and other dieties, and so nobody
was allowed to milk it. As-Saiba was an animal which they (i.e infidels) used to set free in the names
of their gods so that it would not be used for carrying anything. Abu Huraira said, “The Prophet said,
‘I saw Amr bin ‘Amir bin Luhai Al-Khuzai dragging his intestines in the (Hell) Fire, for he was the
first man who started the custom of releasing animals (for the sake of false gods).’ “
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 708:
Narrated ‘Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was the most beloved person to ‘Aisha excluding the Prophet and Abu
Bakr, and he in his turn, was the most devoted to her, ‘Aisha used not to withhold the money given to
her by Allah, but she used to spend it in charity. (‘Abdullah) bin AzZubair said, ” ‘Aisha should be
stopped from doing so.” (When ‘Aisha heard this), she said protestingly, “Shall I be stopped from do –
ing so? I vow that I will never talk to ‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair.” On that, Ibn Az-Zubair asked some
people from Quraish and particularly the two uncles of Allah’s Apostle to intercede with her, but she
refused (to talk to him). Az-Zuhriyun, the uncles of the Prophet, including ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Al-
Aswad bin ‘Abd Yaghuth and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama said to him, “When we ask for the permis –
sion to visit her, enter her house along with us (without taking her leave).” He did accordingly (and
she accepted their intercession). He sent her ten slaves whom she manumitted as an expiation for
(not keeping) her vow. ‘Aisha manumitted more slaves for the same purpose till she manumitted

forty slaves. She said, “I wish I had specified what I would have done in case of not fulfilling my vow
when I made the vow, so that I might have done it easily.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 724:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When the news of the advent of the Prophet reached Abu Dhar, he said to his brother, “Ride to this
valley and bring me the news of this man (i.e. the Prophet ) who claims to be a Prophet receiving in –
formation from the Heaven. Listen to him and then come to me.” His brother set out till he met the
Prophet and listened to his speech and returned to Abu Dhar and said to him, “I have seen him ex –
horting people to virtues and his speech was not like poetry.” Abu Dhar said, “You have not satisfied
me as to what I wanted.” So, he took his journey-food and a water-skin full of water and set out till
he reached Mecca, where he went to the Mosque looking for the Prophet , whom he did not know,
and he would not like to ask someone about him. So, a portion of the night had passed when ‘Ali saw
him and realized that he was a stranger. Abu Dhar followed him (to his house), but neither of them
asked the other about anything till it was morning, when he carried his water-skin and food and
went to the Mosque. He spent that day without being observed by the Prophet till it was night, when
he returned to his sleeping place. ‘Ali again passed by him and said, “Hasn’t the man (i.e. Abu Dhar)
recognized his dwelling place yet?” So, ‘Ali let him get up and took him (to his house), but neither of
them asked the other about anything, till it was the third day when ‘Ali had the same experience
with him and Abu Dhar again stayed with him. ‘Ali then asked, “Won’t you tell me what has brought
you here?” He replied, “If you give me a promise and a convention that you will guide me, then I will
tell you.” When ‘Ali did, Abu Dhar informed him (of his purpose). ‘Ali said, “It is the Truth, and he (i.e.
Muhammad) is the Apostle of Allah. So when the morning comes, follow me, and if I should perceive
any danger threatening you, I will give you a hint by pretending to go to the watercloset. But if I car –
ried on walking, follow me till you enter the place that I will enter.” Abu Dhur agreed and followed
‘Ali till he entered the place of the Prophet and Abu Dhur entered with him. He then listened to the
speech of the Prophet and embraced Islam on that very spot. The Prophet said to him, “Go back to
your people and inform them (of this religion) till you receive my (further) orders.” Abu Dhur said,
“By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I will proclaim my conversion to Islam publicly amongst them
(i.e. infidels).” He went out till he reached the Mosque and announced as loudly as possible, “I testify
that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.” The
people then got up and beat him till they knocked him down. Al-Abbas came and threw himself over

him (to protect him) saying, Woe to you! Don’t you know that he is from Ghifar and there is the
route (road) to your merchants towards Sham (i.e. through the place where this tribe dwells)?” Thus
he saved him from them. Abu Dhar did the same on the next day and the people beat him again and
Al-‘Abbas drew himself over him (to save him as before).
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 709:
Narrated Anas:
Uthman called Zaid bin Thabit, Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, Said bin Al-‘As and ‘AbdurRahman bin
Al-Harith bin Hisham, and then they wrote the manuscripts of the Holy Qur’an in the form of book
in several copies. ‘Uthman said to the three Quraishi persons. ” If you differ with Zaid bin Thabit on
any point of the Quran, then write it in the language of Quraish, as the Quran was revealed in their
language.” So they acted accordingly. (Said bin Thabit was an Ansari and not from Quraish ).
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 710:
Narrated Salama:
Allah’s Apostle passed by some people from the tribe of Aslam practicing archery. He said, “O chil –
dren of Ishmael! Throw (arrows), for your father was an archer. I am on the side of Bani so-and-so,”
meaning one of the two teams. The other team stopped throwing, whereupon the Prophet said,
“What has happened to them?” They replied, “How shall we throw while you are with Bani so-and-
so?” He said, “Throw for I am with all of you.”
