That once Abu Bakr came to her on the day of ‘Id-ul-Fitr or ‘Id ul Adha while the Prophet was

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
When Allah’s Apostle arrived at Medina, he alighted at the upper part of Medina among the
people called Bani ‘Amr bin ‘Auf and he stayed with them for fourteen nights. Then he sent for the
chiefs of Bani An-Najjar, and they came, carrying their swords. As if I am just now looking at Allah’s
Apostle on his she-camel with Abu Bakr riding behind him (on the same camel) and the chiefs of
Bani An-Najjar around him till he dismounted in the courtyard of Abu Aiyub’s home. The Prophet
used to offer the prayer wherever the prayer was due, and he would pray even in sheepfolds. Then
he ordered that the mosque be built. He sent for the chiefs of Banu An-Najjar, and when they came,
he said, “O Banu An-Najjar! Suggest to me the price of this garden of yours.” They replied “No! By Al –
lah, we do not demand its price except from Allah.” In that garden there were the (following) things
that I will tell you: Graves of pagans, unleveled land with holes and pits etc., and date-palm trees. Al –
lah’s Apostle ordered that the graves of the pagans be dug up and, the unleveled land be leveled and
the date-palm trees be cut down. The trunks of the trees were arranged so as to form the wall facing
the Qibla. The Stone pillars were built at the sides of its gate. The companions of the Prophet were
carrying the stones and reciting some lyrics, and Allah’s Apostle . . was with them and they were say –
ing, “O Allah! There is no good Excel the good of the Hereafter, so bestow victory on the Ansar and
the Emigrants. “

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 273:
Narrated Sad bin Malik:
In the year of Hajjat-ul-Wada’ the Prophet visited me when I fell ill and was about to die because
of that illness. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I am very ill as you see, and I am a rich man and have no
heir except my only daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property in charity?” He said, “No.” I said, “Shall I
then give one half of it in charity?” He said, “O Sad! Give 1/3 (in charity) and even 1/3 is too much.
No doubt, it is better to leave your children rich than to leave them poor, reduced to begging from
others. And Allah will reward you for whatever you spend with the intention of gaining Allah’s
Pleasure even if it were a mouthful of food you put into your wives mouth.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle!
Am I to be left behind (in Mecca) after my companions have gone?” He said, “If you should be left be –
hind, you will be upgraded and elevated for every deed you will do with a desire to achieve Allah’s
Pleasure. I hope that you will live long so that some people will benefit by you while others will be
harmed. O Allah! Please fulfill the migration of my companions and do not make them turn back on
their heels. But (we feel sorry for) the unlucky Sad bin Khaulah.” Allah’s Apostle lamented his death
in Mecca.
