Volume 8, Book 74, Number 271:
Narrated ‘Urwa-bin Az-Zubair:
Usama bin Zaid said, “The Prophet rode over a donkey with a saddle underneath which there was
a thick soft Fadakiya velvet sheet. Usama bin Zaid was his companion rider, and he was going to pay
a visit to Sa’d bin Ubada (who was sick) at the dwelling place of Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, and
this incident happened before the battle of Badr. The Prophet passed by a gathering in which there
were Muslims and pagan idolators and Jews, and among them there was ‘Abdullah bin Ubai bin Sa –
lul, and there was ‘Abdullah bin Rawaha too. When a cloud of dust raised by the animal covered that
gathering, ‘Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his Rida (sheet) and said (to the Prophet), “Don’t
cover us with dust.” The Prophet greeted them and then stopped, dismounted and invited them to Al –
lah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and also recited to them the Holy Quran. ‘Abdullah bin Ubai’ bin Salul
said, “O man! There is nothing better than what you say, if what you say is the truth. So do not
trouble us in our gatherings. Go back to your mount (or house,) and if anyone of us comes to you,
tell (your tales) to him.” On that ‘Abdullah bin Rawaha said, “(O Allah’s Apostle!) Come to us and
bring it(what you want to say) in our gatherings, for we love that.” So the Muslims, the pagans and
the Jews started quarreling till they were about to fight and clash with one another. The Prophet kept
on quietening them (till they all became quiet). He then rode his animal, and proceeded till he
entered upon Sa’d bin ‘Ubada, he said, “O Sa’d, didn’t you hear what Abu Habbab said? (He meant
‘Abdullah bin Ubai). He said so-and-so.” Sa’d bin ‘Ubada said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Excuse and forgive
him, for by Allah, Allah has given you what He has given you. The people of this town decided to
crown him (as their chief) and make him their king. But when Allah prevented that with the Truth
which He had given you, it choked him, and that was what made him behave in the way you saw
him behaving.” So the Prophet excused him.

I heard Ka’b bin Malik narrating (when he did not join the battle of Tabuk): Allah’s Apostle for –
bade all the Muslims to speak to us. I would come to Allah’s Apostle and greet him, and I would
wonder whether the Prophet did move his lips to return to my greetings or not till fifty nights passed
away. The Prophet then announced (to the people) Allah’s forgiveness for us (acceptance of our re –
pentance) at the time when he had offered the Fajr (morning) prayer.

A group of Jews came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “As-samu ‘Alaika ” (Death be on you), and I un –
derstood it and said to them, “Alaikum AsSamu wa-l-la’na (Death and curse be on you).” Allah’s
Apostle said, “Be calm! O ‘Aisha, for Allah loves that one should be kind and lenient in all matters.” I
said. “O Allah’s Apostle! Haven’t you heard what they have said?” Allah’s Apostle said, “I have
(already) said (to them), ‘Alaikum (upon you).’ “

Narrated Abu Hazim:
Sahl said, “We used to feel happy on Fridays.” I asked Sahl, “Why?” He said, “There was an old wo –
man of our acquaintance who used to send somebody to Buda’a (Ibn Maslama said, “Buda’a was a
garden of date-palms at Medina). She used to pull out the silq (a kind of vegetable) from its roots and
put it in a cooking pot, adding some powdered barley over it (and cook it). After finishing the Jumua
(Friday) prayer we used to (pass by her and) greet her, whereupon she would present us with that
meal, so we used to feel happy because of that. We used to have neither a midday nap, nor meals, ex –
cept after the Friday prayer.” (See Hadith No. 60, Vol.2)
