Volume 5, Book 57, Number 116:
Narrated Abu Wail:
When ‘Ali sent ‘Ammar and Al-Hasan to (the people of) Kufa to urge them to fight, ‘Ammar ad –
dressed them saying, “I know that she (i.e. ‘Aisha) is the wife of the Prophet in this world and in the
Hereafter (world to come), but Allah has put you to test, whether you will follow Him (i.e. Allah) or
her.”
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 117:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
That she borrowed a necklace from Asma’ and it was lost. Allah’s Apostle sent some of his compan –
ions to look for it. During their journey the time of prayer was due and they prayed without ablu –
tion. When they returned to the Prophet they complained about it. So the Divine Verse of Tayam –
mum was revealed. Usaid bin Hudair said (to ‘Aisha), “May Allah reward you handsomely. By Allah,
whenever you have a difficulty, Allah took you out of it and brought with it, a Blessing for the
Muslims.”
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 118:
Narrated Hisham’s father:
When Allah’s Apostle was in his fatal illness, he started visiting his wives and saying, “Where will I
be tomorrow?” He was anxious to be in ‘Aisha’s home. ‘Aisha said, “So when it was my day, the
Prophet became silent (no longer asked the question).”
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 119:
Narrated Hisham’s father:
The people used to send presents to the Prophet on the day of ‘Aisha’s turn. ‘Aisha said, “My com –
panions (i.e. the other wives of the Prophet) gathered in the house of Um Salama and said, “0 Um
Salama! By Allah, the people choose to send presents on the day of ‘Aisha’s turn and we too, love the
good (i.e. presents etc.) as ‘Aisha does. You should tell Allah’s Apostle to tell the people to send their
presents to him wherever he may be, or wherever his turn may be.” Um Salama said that to the
Prophet and he turned away from her, and when the Prophet returned to her (i.e. Um Salama), she
repeated the same, and the Prophet again turned away, and when she told him the same for the third
time, the Prophet said, “O Um Salama! Don’t trouble me by harming ‘Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine
Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman amongst you except her.”

Narrated Alqama:
I went to Sham and was offering a two-Rak’at prayer; I said, “O Allah! Bless me with a (pious)
companion.” Then I saw an old man coming towards me, and when he came near I said, (to myself),
“I hope Allah has given me my request.” The man asked (me), “Where are you from?” I replied, “I am

from the people of Kufa.” He said, “Weren’t there amongst you the Carrier of the (Prophet’s) shoes, Si –
wak and the ablution water container? Weren’t there amongst you the man who was given Allah’s
Refuge from the Satan? And weren’t there amongst you the man who used to keep the (Prophet’s)
secrets which nobody else knew? How did Ibn Um ‘Abd (i.e. ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud) use to recite Sur –
at-al-lail (the Night:92)?” I recited:–
“By the Night as it envelops By the Day as it appears in brightness. And by male and female.”
(92.1-3) On that, Abu Darda said, “By Allah, the Prophet made me read the Verse in this way after
listening to him, but these people (of Sham) tried their best to let me say something different.”

Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Yazid:
We asked Hudhaifa to tell us of a person resembling (to some extent) the Prophet in good appear –
ance and straight forward behavior so that we may learn from him (good manners and acceptable
conduct). Hudhaifa replied, “I do not know anybody resembling the Prophet (to some extent) in ap –

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:

Rak’a Witr prayer). Ibn Abbas said, “Leave him, for he was in the company of Allah’s Apostle.”
