Volume 6, Book 60, Number 319:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Aflah, the brother of Abi Al-Quais, asked permission to visit me after the order of Al-Hijab was re –
vealed. I said, “I will not permit him unless I take permission of the Prophet about him for it was not
the brother of Abi Al-Qu’ais but the wife of Abi Al-Qu’ais that nursed me.” The Prophet entered upon
me, and I said to him, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allah, the brother of Abi Al-Qu’ais asked permission to visit
me but I refused to permit him unless I took your permission.” The Prophet said, “What stopped you
from permitting him? He is your uncle.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The man was not the person who
had nursed me, but the woman, the wife of Abi Al-Qu’ais had nursed me.” He said, “Admit him, for

he is your uncle. Taribat Yaminuki (may your right hand be saved)” ‘Urwa, the sub-narrator added:
For that ‘Aisha used to say, “Consider those things which are illegal because of blood relations as il –
legal because of the corresponding foster relations.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 304:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “There is no believer but I, of all the people, I am the closest to him both in this
world and in the Hereafter. Recite if you wish: ‘The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own
selves.’ (33.6) so if a believer (dies) leaves some property then his relatives will inherit that property;
but if he is in debt or he leaves poor children, let those (creditors and children) come to me (that I
may pay the debt and provide for the children), for them I am his sponsor (surely).

Narrated Ka’b bin Ujra:
It was said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We know how to greet you, but how to invoke Allah for you?” The

We used not to call Zaid bin Haritha the freed slave of Allah’s Apostle except Zaid bin Muhammad

more than just in the Sight of Allah.” (33.5)

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 307:
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
When we collected the fragramentary manuscripts of the Qur’an into copies, I missed one of the
Verses of Surat al-Ahzab which I used to hear Allah’s Apostle reading. Finally I did not find it with
anybody except Khuzaima Al-Ansari, whose witness was considered by Allah’s Apostle equal to the
witness of two men. (And that Verse was:)
‘Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah.’
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 308:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Apostle came to me when Allah ordered him to give option to his
wives. So Allah’s Apostle started with me, saying, “I am going to mention to you something but you
should not hasten (to give your reply) unless you consult your parents.’ He knew that my parents
would not order me to leave him. Then he said, “Allah says:–
“O Prophet! Say to your wives…” (33.28-29)
On that I said to him, “Then why should I consult my parents? Verily, I seek Allah, His Apostle and
the Home of the Hereafter.”

reply) unless you consult your parents.” The Prophet knew that my parents would not order me to
leave him. Then he said, “Allah says: ‘O Prophet (Muhammad)! Say to your wives: If you desire the
life of this world and its glitter……..a great reward.” (33.28-29) I said, “Then why I consult my par –
ents? Verily, I seek Allah, His Apostle and the Home of the Hereafter.” Then all the other wives of the
Prophet did the same as I did.
