Volume 8, Book 74, Number 249:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
When we prayed with the Prophet we used to say: As-Salam be on Allah from His worshipers, As-
Salam be on Gabriel, As-Salam be on Michael, As-Salam be on so-and-so. When the Prophet fin –
ished his prayer, he faced us and said, “Allah Himself is As-Salam (Peace), so when one sits in the
prayer, one should say, ‘At-Tahiyatu-lillahi Was-Salawatu, Wat-Taiyibatu, As-Salamu ‘Alaika aiy –
uhan-Nabiyyu wa Rah-matul-lahi wa Barakatuhu, As-Salamu ‘Alaina wa ‘ala ‘Ibadillahi assalihin,
for if he says so, then it will be for all the pious slave of Allah in the Heavens and the Earth. (Then he
should say), ‘Ash-hadu an la ilaha illalllahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘Abduhu wa rasulu-
hu,’ and then he can choose whatever speech (i.e. invocation) he wishes ” (See Hadith No. 797, Vol. 1)

Narrated ‘Ali:
We were with the Prophet in a funeral procession, and he started scraping the ground with a
small stick and said, “There is none amongst you but has been assigned a place (either) in Paradise
and (or) in the Hell-Fire.” The people said (to him), “Should we not depend upon it?” He said: carry on
doing (good) deeds, for everybody will find easy such deeds as will lead him to his destined place. He
then recited: “As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah..” (92.5)

(One night) the Prophet woke up and said, “Subhan Allah ! How many treasures have been (dis –
closed) sent down! And how many afflictions have been descended! Who will go and wake the
sleeping lady-occupants up of these dwellings (for praying)?” (He meant by this his wives.) The
Prophet added, “A well-dressed soul (person) in this world may be naked in the “Hereafter.” ‘Umar
said, “I asked the Prophet, ‘Have you divorced your wives?’ He said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Allahu Akbar.’ “

Narrated Safiya bint Huyai:
The wife of the Prophet that she went to Allah’s Apostle while he was in Itikaf (staying in the
mosque) during the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. She spoke to him for an hour (a while)
at night and then she got up to return home. The Prophet got up to accompany her, and when they
reached the gate of the mosque opposite the dwelling place of Um Salama, the wife of the Prophet,
two Ansari men passed by, and greeting Allah’s Apostle , they quickly went ahead. Allah’s Apostle
said to them, “Do not be in a hurry She is Safiya, the daughter of Huyai.” They said, “Subhan Allah! O
Allah’s Apostle (how dare we suspect you).” That was a great thing for both of them. The Prophet
then said, “Satan runs in the body of Adam’s son (i.e. man) as his blood circulates in it, and I was
afraid that he (Satan) might insert an evil thought in your hearts.”
