Narrated ‘Aisha:
I never felt so jealous of any woman as I did of Khadija, though she had died three years before the
Prophet married me, and that was because I heard him mentioning her too often, and because his
Lord had ordered him to give her the glad tidings that she would have a palace in Paradise, made of
Qasab and because he used to slaughter a sheep and distribute its meat among her friends.

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 37:
Narrated Abu Sulaiman and Malik bin Huwairith:
We came to the Prophet and we were (a few) young men of approximately equal age and stayed
with him for twenty nights. Then he thought that we were anxious for our families, and he asked us
whom we had left behind to look after our families, and we told him. He was kindhearted and mer –
ciful, so he said, “Return to your families and teach them (religious knowledge) and order them (to
do good deeds) and offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayers, and when the
stated time for the prayer becomes due, then one of you should pronounce its call (i.e. the Adhan),
and the eldest of you should lead you in prayer.
