Volume 8, Book 73, Number 172:
Narrated Al-Haitham bin Abu Sinan:
that he heard Abu Huraira in his narration, mentioning that the Prophet said, “A Muslim brother
of yours who does not say dirty words.” and by that he meant Ibn Rawaha, “said (in verse): ‘We have
Allah’s Apostle with us who recites the Holy Qur’an in the early morning time. He gave us guidance
and light while we were blind and astray, so our hearts are sure that whatever he says, will certainly
happen. He does not touch his bed at night, being busy in worshipping Allah while the pagans are
sound asleep in their beds.’ “
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 163:
Narrated ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr:
Abu Bakr came with a guest or some guests, but he stayed late at night with the Prophet and when
he came, my mother said (to him), “Have you been detained from your guest or guests tonight?” He
said, “Haven’t you served the supper to them?” She replied, “We presented the meal to him (or to
them), but he (or they) refused to eat.” Abu Bakr became angry, rebuked me and invoked Allah to
cause (my) ears to be cut and swore not to eat of it!” I hid myself, and he called me, “O ignorant
(boy)!” Abu Bakr’s wife swore that she would not eat of it and so the guests or the guest swore that
they would not eat of it till he ate of it. Abu Bakr said, “All that happened was from Satan.” So he
asked for the meals and ate of it, and so did they. Whenever they took a handful of the meal, the meal
grew (increased) from underneath more than that mouthful. He said (to his wife), “O, sister of Bani
Firas! What is this?” She said, “O, pleasure of my eyes! The meal is now more than it had been before
we started eating” So they ate of it and sent the rest of that meal to the Prophet. It is said that the
Prophet also ate of it.

Narrated Rafi bin Khadij and Sahl bin Abu Hathma:
‘Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisa bin Mas’ud went to Khaibar and they dispersed in the gardens
of the date-palm trees. ‘Abdullah bin Sahl was murdered. Then ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, Huwaiyisa
and Muhaiyisa, the two sons of Mas’ud, came to the Prophet and spoke about the case of their
(murdered) friend. ‘Abdur-Rahman who was the youngest of them all, started talking. The Prophet
said, “Let the older (among you) speak first.” So they spoke about the case of their (murdered) friend.
The Prophet said, “Will fifty of you take an oath whereby you will have the right to receive the blood
money of your murdered man,” (or said, “..your companion”). They said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The
murder was a thing we did not witness.” The Prophet said, “Then the Jews will release you from the
oath, if fifty of them (the Jews) should take an oath to contradict your claim.” They said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! They are disbelievers (and they will take a false oath).” Then Allah’s Apostle himself paid the
blood money to them.
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 165:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Inform me of a tree which resembles a Muslim, giving its fruits at every sea –
son by the permission of its Lord, and the leaves of which do not fall.” I thought of the date-palm
tree, but I disliked to speak because Abu Bakr and ‘Umar were present there. When nobody spoke,
the Prophet said, “It is the date-palm tree” When I came out with my father, I said, “O father! It came
to my mind that it was the date-palm tree.” He said, “What prevented you from saying it?” Had you
said it, it would have been more dearer to me than such-and-such a thing (fortune).” I said, “Nothing
prevented me but the fact that neither you nor Abu Bakr spoke, so I disliked to speak (in your pres –
ence).”

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 151:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play
with me. When Allah’s Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but
the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images
is forbidden, but it was allowed for ‘Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age
of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13)

Narrated Aisha:
A man asked permission to see the Prophet. He said, “Let Him come in; What an evil man of the
tribe he is! (Or, What an evil brother of the tribe he is).”
But when he entered, the Prophet spoke to him gently in a polite manner. I said to him, “O Allah’s
Apostle! You have said what you have said, then you spoke to him in a very gentle and polite man –
ner? The Prophet said, “The worse people, in the sight of Allah are those whom the people leave (un –
disturbed) to save themselves from their dirty language.”

et showed the cloak to Makhrama who had something unfavorable about his temper.)
