Narrated Ibn Masud:
A man kissed a woman and then came to Allah’s Apostle and told him of that, so this Divine In –
spiration was revealed to the Prophet ‘And offer Prayers perfectly at the two ends of the day, and in
some hours of the night; (i.e. (five) compulsory prayers). Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds
(small sins) That is a reminder for the mindful.’ (11.114) The man said, Is this instruction for me
only?’ The Prophet said, “It is for all those of my followers who encounter a similar situation.”

Allah’s Apostle was asked, “Who are the most honorable of the people?” The Prophet said, “The
most honorable of them in Allah’s Sight are those who keep their duty to Allah and fear Him. They
said, “We do not ask you about that.” He said, “Then the most honorable of the people is Joseph, Al –
lah’s prophet, the son of Allah’s prophet, the son of Allah’s prophet, the son of Allah’s Khalil i.e. Abra –
ham) They said, “We do not ask you about that.” The Prophet said, Do you ask about (the virtues of
the ancestry of the Arabs?” They said, “Yes,” He said, “Those who were the best amongst you in the

Narrated Az-Zuhri:
Urwa bin Az-Zubair, Said bin Al-Musaiyab, ‘Al-Qama bin Waqqas and ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah
related the narration of ‘Aisha, the wife the Prophet, when the slanderers had said about her what
they had said and Allah later declared her innocence. Each of them related a part of the narration
(wherein) the Prophet said (to ‘Aisha). “If you are innocent, then Allah will declare your innocence:
but if you have committed a sin, then ask for Allah’s Forgiveness and repent to him.” ‘Aisha said, “By
Allah, I find no example for my case except that of Joseph’s father (when he said), ‘So (for me) pa –
tience is most fitting.’ ” Then Allah revealed the ten Verses:– “Verily those who spread the slander
are a gang amongst you..” (24.11)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 213:
Narrated Um Ruman:
Who was ‘Aisha’s mother: While I was with ‘Aisha, ‘Aisha got fever, whereupon the Prophet said,
“Probably her fever is caused by the story related by the people (about her).” I said, “Yes.” Then ‘Aisha
sat up and said, “My example and your example is similar to that of Jacob and his sons:–‘Nay, but
your minds have made up a tale. So (for me) patience is most fitting. It is Allah (alone) Whose help
can be sought against that which you assert.’ (12.18)

Narrated Zaid bin Wahb:
I passed by (visited ) Abu Dhar at Ar-Rabadha and said to him, “What has brought you to this
land?” He said, “We were at Sham and I recited the Verse: “They who hoard up gold and silver and
spend them not in the way of Allah; announce to them a painful torment, ” (9.34) where upon
Muawiya said, ‘This Verse is not for us, but for the people of the Scripture.’ Then I said, ‘But it is both
for us (Muslim) and for them.’ “
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 199:
Narrated Abdullah bin Kab:
I heard Ka’b bin Malik who was one of the three who were forgiven, saying that he had never re –
mained behind Allah’s Apostle in any Ghazwa which he had fought except two Ghazwat Ghazwat-
al’Usra (Tabuk) and Ghazwat-Badr. He added. “I decided to tell the truth to Allah’s Apostle in the
forenoon, and scarcely did he return from a journey he made, except in the forenoon, he would go
first to the mosque and offer a two-Rak’at prayer. The Prophet forbade others to speak to me or to my
two companions, but he did not prohibit speaking to any of those who had remained behind except –
ing us. So the people avoided speaking to us, and I stayed in that state till I could no longer bear it,
and the only thing that worried me was that I might die and the Prophet would not offer the funeral
prayer for me, or Allah’s Apostle might die and I would be left in that social status among the people
that nobody would speak to me or offer the funeral prayer for me. But Allah revealed His Forgiveness
for us to the Prophet in the last third of the night while Allah’s Apostle was with Um Salama. Um
Salama sympathized with me and helped me in my disaster. Allah’s Apostle said, ‘O Um Salama! Ka’b
has been forgiven!’ She said, ‘Shall I send someone to him to give him the good tidings?’ He said, ‘If
you did so, the people would not let you sleep the rest of the night.’ So when the Prophet had offered
the Fajr prayer, he announced Allah’s Forgiveness for us. His face used to look as bright as a piece of
the (full) moon whenever he was pleased. When Allah revealed His Forgiveness for us, we were the
three whose case had been deferred while the excuse presented by those who had apologized had
been accepted. But when there were mentioned those who had told the Prophet lies and remained
behind (the battle of Tabuk) and had given false excuses, they were described with the worse de –
scription one may be described with. Allah said: ‘They will present their excuses to you (Muslims)
when you return to them. Say: Present no excuses; we shall not believe you. Allah has already in –
formed us of the true state of matters concerning you. Allah and His Apostle will observe your ac –
tions.” (9.94)
