When Az-Zubair married me, he had no real property or any slave or anything else except a
camel which drew water from the well, and his horse. I used to feed his horse with fodder and drew
water and sew the bucket for drawing it, and prepare the dough, but I did not know how to bake
bread. So our Ansari neighbors used to bake bread for me, and they were honorable ladies. I used to
carry the date stones on my head from Zubair’s land given to him by Allah’s Apostle and this land
was two third Farsakh (about two miles) from my house. One day, while I was coming with the date
stones on my head, I met Allah’s Apostle along with some Ansari people. He called me and then, (dir –
ecting his camel to kneel down) said, “Ikh! Ikh!” so as to make me ride behind him (on his camel). I
felt shy to travel with the men and remembered Az-Zubair and his sense of Ghira, as he was one of
those people who had the greatest sense of Ghira. Allah’s Apostle noticed that I felt shy, so he pro –
ceeded. I came to Az-Zubair and said, “I met Allah’s Apostle while I was carrying a load of date
stones on my head, and he had some companions with him. He made his camel kneel down so that I
might ride, but I felt shy in his presence and remembered your sense of Ghira (See the glossary). On
that Az-Zubair said, “By Allah, your carrying the date stones (and you being seen by the Prophet in
such a state) is more shameful to me than your riding with him.” (I continued serving in this way) till
Abu Bakr sent me a servant to look after the horse, whereupon I felt as if he had set me free.

Narrated Anas:
While the Prophet was in the house of one of his wives, one of the mothers of the believers sent a
meal in a dish. The wife at whose house the Prophet was, struck the hand of the servant, causing the
dish to fall and break. The Prophet gathered the broken pieces of the dish and then started collecting
on them the food which had been in the dish and said, “Your mother (my wife) felt jealous.” Then he
detained the servant till a (sound) dish was brought from the wife at whose house he was. He gave
the sound dish to the wife whose dish had been broken and kept the broken one at the house where
it had been broken.

Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet, said, “I entered Paradise and saw a palace and asked whose palace is this? They (the
Angels) said, “This palace belongs to ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab.’ I intended to enter it, and nothing
stopped me except my knowledge about your sense of Ghira (self-respect (O Umar).” ‘Umar said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you! O Allah’s Prophet! How dare I think
of my Ghira (self-respect) being offended by you?”

Narrated al-Qasim:
Aisha said that whenever the Prophet intended to go on a journey, he drew lots among his wives
(so as to take one of them along with him). During one of his journeys the lot fell on ‘Aisha and Haf –
sa. When night fell the Prophet would ride beside ‘Aisha and talk with her. One night Hafsa said to
‘Aisha, “Won’t you ride my camel tonight and I ride yours, so that you may see (me) and I see (you)
(in new situation)?” ‘Aisha said, “Yes, (I agree.)” So ‘Aisha rode, and then the Prophet came towards
‘Aisha’s camel on which Hafsa was riding. He greeted Hafsa and then proceeded (beside her) till they
dismounted (on the way). ‘Aisha missed him, and so, when they dismounted, she put her legs in the
Idhkhir and said, “O Lord (Allah)! Send a scorpion or a snake to bite me for I am not to blame him
(the Prophet ).
