Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
The Prophet came to me while I was ill. He performed ablution and threw the remaining water on
me (or said, “Pour it on him) ” When I came to my senses I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have no son or
father to be my heir, so how will be my inheritance?” Then the Verse of inheritance was revealed.
Volume 7, Book 70, Number 581:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
When Allah’s Apostle emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal had a fever. I entered upon them
and said, “O my father! How are you? O Bilal! How are you?” Whenever Abu Bakr got the fever he
used to say, “Everybody is staying alive with his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe
laces.” And when fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic verses): “Would that I could stay
overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of good
smelling grass). Would that one day I could drink of the water of Majinna, and would that Shama
and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me!” I went to Allah’s Apostle and informed
him about that. He said, “O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca, and
make it healthy, and bless its Sa and its Mudd, and take away its fever and put it in Al-Juhfa.” (See
Hadith No 558) .

Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
The Prophet rode a donkey having a saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet covering. He mounted me be –
hind him and went to visit Sad bin ‘Ubada, and that had been before the battle of Badr. The Prophet
proceeded till he passed by a gathering in which ‘Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that
had been before ‘Abdullah embraced Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, i.e.,
isolators and Jews. ‘Abdullah bin Rawaha was also present in that gathering. When dust raised by the

donkey covered the gathering, ‘Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his upper garment and said,
“Do not trouble us with dust.” The Prophet greeted them, stopped and dismounted. Then he invited
them to Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses of the Holy Qur’an. On that,
‘Abdullah bin Ubai said, “O man ! There is nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do not
trouble us with it in our gathering, but return to your house, and if somebody comes to you, teach
him there.” On that ‘Abdullah bin Rawaha said, Yes, O Allah’s Apostle! Bring your teachings to our
gathering, for we love that.” So the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing each other till
they were about to fight. The Prophet kept on quietening them till they became calm. Thereupon the
Prophet mounted his animal and proceeded till he entered upon Sad bin Ubada. He said to him “O
Sad! Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., ‘Abdullah bin Ubai) said?” Sad said, ‘O Allah’s
Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this
town (Medina decided unanimously to crown him and make him their chief by placing a turban on
his head, but when that was prevented by the Truth which Allah had given you he (‘Abdullah bin
Ubai) was grieved out of jealously, and that was the reason which caused him to behave in the way
you have seen.”

Volume 7, Book 70, Number 570:
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Muhammad:
‘Aisha, (complaining of headache) said, “Oh, my head”! Allah’s Apostle said, “I wish that had
happened while I was still living, for then I would ask Allah’s Forgiveness for you and invoke Allah
for you.” Aisha said, “Wa thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to die; and If this should happen,
you would spend the last part of the day sleeping with one of your wives!” The Prophet said, “Nay, I
should say, ‘Oh my head!’ I felt like sending for Abu Bakr and his son, and appoint him as my suc –
cessor lest some people claimed something or some others wished something, but then I said (to my –
self), ‘Allah would not allow it to be otherwise, and the Muslims would prevent it to be otherwise”.
