“And We granted the vision (Ascension to the heavens) which We made you see (as an actual eye
witness) was only made as a trial for the people.” (17.60)
Ibn Abbas added: The sights which Allah’s Apostle was shown on the Night Journey when he was
taken to Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e. Jerusalem) were actual sights, (not dreams). And the Cursed Tree (men –
tioned) in the Quran is the tree of Zaqqum (itself) .
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 244:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle sat on the pulpit and said, “Allah has given one of His Slaves the choice of receiving
the splendor and luxury of the worldly life whatever he likes or to accept the good (of the Hereafter)
which is with Allah. So he has chosen that good which is with Allah.” On that Abu Bakr wept and
said, “Our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you.” We became astonished at this. The people said,
“Look at this old man! Allah’s Apostle talks about a Slave of Allah to whom He has given the option to
choose either the splendor of this worldly life or the good which is with Him, while he says. ‘our
fathers and mothers be sacrifice(i for you.” But it was Allah’s Apostle who had been given option, and
Abu Bakr knew it better than we. Allah’s Apostle added, “No doubt, I am indebted to Abu Bakr more
than to anybody else regarding both his companionship and his wealth. And if I had to take a Khalil
from my followers, I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr, but the fraternity of Islam is. sufficient.
Let no door (i.e. Khoukha) of the Mosque remain open, except the door of Abu Bakr.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Ka’b:
Who was Kab’s guide when Ka’b turned blind: I heard Ka’b bin Malik narrating: When he re –
mained behind (i.e. did not Join) the Prophet in the Ghazwa of Tabuk. Ibn Bukair, in his narration
stated that Ka’b said, ” I witnessed the Al-‘Aqaba pledge of allegiance at night with the Prophet when
we jointly agreed to support Islam with all our efforts I would not like to have attended the Badr
battle instead of that ‘Aqaba pledge although Badr is more well-known than it, amongst the people.”

Narrated ‘Ubada bin As-Samit:
Who had taken part in the battle of Badr with Allah’s Apostle and had been amongst his compan –
ions on the night of Al-‘Aqaba Pledge: Allah’s Apostle, surrounded by a group of his companions said,
“Come along and give me the pledge of allegiance that you will not worship anything besides Allah,
will not steal, will not commit illegal sexual intercourse will not kill your children, will not utter;
slander, invented by yourself, and will not disobey me if I order you to do something good. Whoever
among you will respect and fulfill this pledge, will be rewarded by Allah. And if one of you commits
any of these sins and is punished in this world then that will be his expiation for it, and if one of you
commits any of these sins and Allah screens his sin, then his matter, will rest with Allah: If He will,
He will punish him and if He will,. He will excuse him.” So I gave the pledge of allegiance to him for
these conditions.

Narrated Aisha:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the
home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew
(again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl
friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me
by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my
breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took
me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s
Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage).
Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him,
and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.
