Volume 5, Book 58, Number 165:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I did not feel jealous of any woman as much as I did of Khadija because Allah’s Apostle used to
mention her very often. He married me after three years of her death, and his Lord (or Gabriel)
ordered him to give her the good news of having a palace of Qasab in Paradise.
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 181:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The most true words said by a poet was the words of Labid.” He said, Verily,
Everything except Allah is perishable and Umaiya bin As-Salt was about to be a Muslim (but he did
not embrace Islam).
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 166:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija though I did
not see her, but the Prophet used to mention her very often, and when ever he slaughtered a sheep,
he would cut its parts and send them to the women friends of Khadija. When I sometimes said to
him, “(You treat Khadija in such a way) as if there is no woman on earth except Khadija,” he would
say, “Khadija was such-and-such, and from her I had children.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 5 > BOOK 58: MERITS OF THE HELPERS IN MADINAH (ANSAAR)
Abu Bakr had a slave who used to give him some of his earnings. Abu Bakr used to eat from it. One
day he brought something and Abu Bakr ate from it. The slave said to him, “Do you know what this
is?” Abu Bakr then enquired, “What is it?” The slave said, “Once, in the pre-Islamic period of ignor –
ance I foretold somebody’s future though I did not know this knowledge of foretelling but I, cheated
him, and when he met me, he gave me something for that service, and that is what you have eaten
from.” Then Abu Bakr put his hand in his mouth and vomited whatever was present in his stomach.

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 183:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
In the pre-lslamic period of ignorance the people used to bargain with the meat of camels on the
principle of Habal-al-Habala which meant the sale of a she-camel that would be born by a she-
camel that had not yet been born. The Prophet forbade them such a transaction.
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 168:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Gabriel came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! This is Khadija coming to you with a dish
having meat soup (or some food or drink). When she reaches you, greet her on behalf of her Lord
(i.e. Allah) and on my behalf, and give her the glad tidings of having a Qasab palace in Paradise
wherein there will be neither any noise nor any fatigue (trouble) . ”
Narrated ‘Aisha: Once Hala bint Khuwailid, Khadija’s sister, asked the permission of the Prophet to
enter. On that, the Prophet remembered the way Khadija used to ask permission, and that upset him.
He said, “O Allah! Hala!” So I became jealous and said, “What makes you remember an old woman
amongst the old women of Quraish an old woman (with a teethless mouth) of red gums who died
long ago, and in whose place Allah has given you somebody better than her?”

Narrated Ghailan bin Jarir:
We used to visit Anas bin Malik and he used to talk to us about the Ansar, and used to say to me:
“Your people did so-and-so on such-and-such a day, and your people did so-and-so on such-and-
such a day.”
