We were with the Prophet and he was holding the hand of ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab. ‘Umar said to
Him, “O Allah’s Apostle! You are dearer to me than everything except my own self.” The Prophet said,
“No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you
than your own self.” Then ‘Umar said to him, “However, now, by Allah, you are dearer to me than my
own self.” The Prophet said, “Now, O ‘Umar, (now you are a believer).”
Volume 8, Book 78, Number 629:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
Two men had a dispute in the presence of Allah’s Apostle. One of them said, “O Allah’s Apostle!
Judge between us according to Allah’s Laws.” The other who was wiser, said, “Yes, O Allah’s Apostle!
Judge between us according to Allah’s Laws and allow me to speak. The Prophet said, “Speak.” He
said, “My son was a laborer serving this (person) and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with
his wife, The people said that my son is to be stoned to death, but I ransomed him with one-hundred
sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the learned people, who informed me that my son should receive
one hundred lashes and will be exiled for one year, and stoning will be the lot for the man’s wife.”
Allah’s Apostle said, “Indeed, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will judge between you according
to Allah’s Laws: As for your sheep and slave girl, they are to be returned to you.” Then he scourged
his son one hundred lashes and exiled him for one year. Then Unais Al-Aslami was ordered to go to
the wife of the second man, and if she confessed (the crime), then stone her to death. She did confess,
so he stoned her to death.

the tribes of Tamim, ‘Amir bin Sa’sa’a, Ghatfan and Asad, they (the second group) are despairing and
losing?” They (the Prophet’s companions) said, “Yes, (they are).” He said, “By Him in Whose Hand my
soul is, they (the first group) are better than them (the second group).”

Volume 8, Book 78, Number 631:
Narrated Abu Humaid As-Sa’idi:
Allah’s Apostle employed an employee (to collect Zakat). The employee returned after completing
his job and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! This (amount of Zakat) is for you, and this (other amount) was
given to me as a present.” The Prophet said to him, “Why didn’t you stay at your father’s or mother’s
house and see if you would be given presents or not?” Then Allah’s Apostle got up in the evening
after the prayer, and having testified that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and praised
and glorified Allah as He deserved, he said, “Now then ! What about an employee whom we employ
and then he comes and says, ‘This amount (of Zakat) is for you, and this (amount) was given to me as
a present’? Why didn’t he stay at the house of his father and mother to see if he would be given
presents or not? By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, none of you will steal anything of it
(i.e. Zakat) but will bring it by carrying it over his neck on the Day of Resurrection. If it has been a
camel, he will bring it (over his neck) while it will be grunting, and if it has been a cow, he will
bring it (over his neck), while it will be mooing; and if it has been a sheep, he will bring it (over his
neck) while it will be bleeding.” The Prophet added, “I have preached you (Allah’s Message).” Abu
Humaid said, “Then Allah’s Apostle raised his hands so high that we saw the whiteness of his
armpits.”

Narrated Abu Dhar:
I reached him (the Prophet ) while in the shade of the Ka’ba; he was saying, “They are the losers, by
the Lord of the Ka’ba! They are the losers, by the Lord of the Ka’ba!” I said (to myself ), “What is
wrong with me? Is anything improper detected in me? What is wrong with me? Then I sat beside
him and he kept on saying his statement. I could not remain quiet, and Allah knows in what sorrow –
ful state I was at that time. So I said, ‘ Who are they (the losers)? Let My father and mother be sacri –
ficed for you, O Allah’s Apostle!” He said, “They are the wealthy people, except the one who does like
this and like this and like this (i.e., spends of his wealth in Allah’s Cause).”

Allah’s Apostle said, “(The Prophet) Solomon once said, ‘Tonight I will sleep with ninety women,
each of whom will bring forth a (would-be) cavalier who will fight in Allah’s Cause.” On this, his
companion said to him, “Say: Allah willing!” But he did not say Allah willing. Solomon then slept with
all the women, but none of them became pregnant but one woman who later delivered a half-man.
By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad’s soul is, if he (Solomon) had said, ‘Allah willing’ (all his wives
would have brought forth boys) and they would have fought in Allah’s Cause as cavaliers. “
