Volume 4, Book 52, Number 250:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
That he heard the Prophet saying, “It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a woman, and
no lady should travel except with a Muhram (i.e. her husband or a person whom she cannot marry
in any case for ever; e.g. her father, brother, etc.).” Then a man got up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I
have enlisted in the army for such-and-such Ghazwa and my wife is proceeding for Hajj.” Allah’s
Apostle said, “Go, and perform the Hajj with your wife.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 251:
Narrated ‘Ubaidullah bin Abi Rafi:
I heard ‘Ali saying, “Allah’s Apostle sent me, Az-Zubair and Al-Miqdad somewhere saying, ‘Pro –
ceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh. There you will find a lady with a letter. Take the letter from her.’ ”
So, we set out and our horses ran at full pace till we got at Ar-Rawda where we found the lady and
said (to her). “Take out the letter.” She replied, “I have no letter with me.” We said, “Either you take out
the letter or else we will take off your clothes.” So, she took it out of her braid. We brought the letter
to Allah’s Apostle and it contained a statement from Hatib bin Abi Balta a to some of the Meccan pa –
gans informing them of some of the intentions of Allah’s Apostle. Then Allah’s Apostle said, “O Hatib!
What is this?” Hatib replied, “O Allah’s Apostle! Don’t hasten to give your judgment about me. I was a
man closely connected with the Quraish, but I did not belong to this tribe, while the other emigrants
with you, had their relatives in Mecca who would protect their dependents and property . So, I
wanted to recompense for my lacking blood relation to them by doing them a favor so that they
might protect my dependents. I did this neither because of disbelief not apostasy nor out of prefer –
ring Kufr (disbelief) to Islam.” Allah’s Apostle, said, “Hatib has told you the truth.” Umar said, O Al –
lah’s Apostle! Allow me to chop off the head of this hypocrite.” Allah’s Apostle said, “Hatib particip –
ated in the battle of Badr, and who knows, perhaps Allah has already looked at the Badr warriors and
said, ‘Do whatever you like, for I have forgiven you.”

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
When it was the day (of the battle) of Badr, prisoners of war were brought including Al-Abbas
who was undressed. The Prophet looked for a shirt for him. It was found that the shirt of ‘Abdullah
bin Ubai would do, so the Prophet let him wear it. That was the reason why the Prophet took off and

gave his own shirt to ‘Abdullah. (The narrator adds, “He had done the Prophet some favor for which
the Prophet liked to reward him.”)
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 253:
Narrated Sahl:
On the day (of the battle) of Khaibar the Prophet said, “Tomorrow I will give the flag to somebody
who will be given victory (by Allah) and who loves Allah and His Apostle and is loved by Allah and
His Apostle.” So, the people wondered all that night as to who would receive the flag and in the
morning everyone hoped that he would be that person. Allah’s Apostle asked, “Where is ‘Ali?” He was
told that ‘Ali was suffering from eye-trouble, so he applied saliva to his eyes and invoked Allah to
cure him. He at once got cured as if he had no ailment. The Prophet gave him the flag. ‘Ali said,
“Should I fight them till they become like us (i.e. Muslim)?” The Prophet said, “Go to them patiently
and calmly till you enter the land. Then, invite them to Islam, and inform them what is enjoined
upon them, for, by Allah, if Allah gives guidance to somebody through you, it is better for you than
possessing red camels.”

deeds practiced at home when in good health.”

their mouths and then offered the prayer.
