Narrated ‘Aisha:
When the pagans were defeated during the (first stage) of the battle of Uhud, Satan shouted, “O
Allah’s slaves! Beware of what is behind you!” So the front files of the Muslims attacked their own
back files. Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman looked and on seeing his father he shouted: “My father! My fath –
er!” By Allah! The people did not stop till they killed his father. Hudhaifa then said, “May Allah for –
give you.” ‘Urwa (the sub-narrator) added, “Hudhaifa continued asking Allah forgiveness for the
killers of his father till he met Allah (till he died).”

Once Allah’s Apostle led us in prayer, and after finishing the first two Rakat, got up (instead of sit –
ting for At-Tahiyyat) and then carried on with the prayer. When he had finished his prayer, the
people were waiting for him to say Taslim, but before saying Tasiim, he said Takbir and prostrated;
then he raised his head, and saying Takbir, he prostrated (SAHU) and then raised his head and fin –
ished his prayer with Taslim.

Narrated Ibn Mas’ud:
that Allah’s Prophet led them in the Zuhr prayer and he offered either more or less Rakat, and it
was said to him, “O Allah’s Apostle ! Has the prayer been reduced, or have you forgotten?” He asked,
“What is that?” They said, “You have prayed so many Rak’at.” So he performed with them two more
prostrations and said, “These two prostrations are to be performed by the person who does not know
whether he has prayed more or less (Rakat) in which case he should seek to follow what is right. And
then complete the rest (of the prayer) and perform two extra prostrations.”
Volume 8, Book 78, Number 649:
Narrated Usama:
Once a daughter of Allah’s Apostle sent a message to Allah’s Apostle while Usama, Sa’d, and my
father or Ubai were (sitting there) with him. She said, (in the message); My child is going to die;
please come to us.” Allah’s Apostle returned the messenger and told him to convey his greetings to
her, and say, “Whatever Allah takes, is for Him and whatever He gives is for Him, and everything
with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world): so she should be patient and hope for Allah’s re –
ward.” Then she again sent for him swearing that he should come; so The Prophet got up, and so did
we. When he sat there (at the house of his daughter), the child was brought to him, and he took him
into his lap while the child’s breath was disturbed in his chest. The eyes of Allah’s Apostle started
shedding tears. Sa’d said, “What is this, O Allah’s Apostle?” The Prophet said, “This is the mercy which
Allah has lodged in the hearts of whoever He wants of His slaves, and verily Allah is merciful only to
those of His slaves who are merciful (to others).’

The Prophet was asked, “Who are the best people?” He replied: The people of my generation, and
then those who will follow (come after) them, and then those who will come after the later; after that
there will come some people whose witness will precede their oaths and their oaths will go ahead of

their witness.” Ibrahim (a sub-narrator) said, “When we were young, our elder friends used to pro –
hibit us from taking oaths by saying, ‘I bear witness swearing by Allah, or by Allah’s Covenant.”‘
