Narrated Anas:
Once the people started asking Allah’s Apostle questions, and they asked so many questions that he
became angry and ascended the pulpit and said, “I will answer whatever questions you may ask me
today.” I looked right and left and saw everyone covering his face with his garment and weeping. Be –
hold ! There was a man who, on quarreling with the people, used to be called as a son of a person
other than h is father. He said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who is my father?” The Prophet replied, “Your
father is Hudhaifa.” And then ‘Umar got up and said, “We accept Allah as our Lord, and Islam as
(our) religion, and Muhammad as (our) Apostle; and we seek refuge with Allah from the afflictions.”
Allah’s Apostle said, ” I have never seen a day like today in its good and its evil for Paradise and the
Hell Fire were displayed in front of me, till I saw them just beyond this wall.” Qatada, when relating
this Hadith, used to mention the following Verse:–
‘O you who believe! Ask not questions about things which, If made plain to you, May cause you
trouble. (5.101)

The Prophet said to Abu Talha, “Choose one of your boys to serve me.” So Abu Talha took me (to

from (worries) care and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from
being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other men.” I kept on serving him till he re –
turned from (the battle of) Khaibar. He then brought Safiya, the daughter of Huyay whom he had got
(from the booty). I saw him making a kind of cushion with a cloak or a garment for her. He then let
her ride behind him. When we reached a place called As-Sahba’, he prepared (a special meal called)
Hais, and asked me to invite the men who (came and) ate, and that was the marriage banquet given
on the consummation of his marriage to her. Then he proceeded till the mountain of Uhud appeared,
whereupon he said, “This mountain loves us and we love it.” When he approached Medina, he said,
“O Allah! I make the land between its (i.e., Medina’s) two mountains a sanctuary, as the prophet Ab –
raham made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (the people of Medina) in their Mudd and the
Sa’ (units of measuring).”
