and knocked the door with small stones (to draw his attention). He came out to them in a state of an –
ger, saying, “You are still insisting (on your deed, i.e. Tarawih prayer in the mosque) that I thought
that this prayer (Tarawih) might become obligatory on you. So you people, offer this prayer at your
homes, for the best prayer of a person is the one which he offers at home, except the compulsory
(congregational) prayer.”

Two men abused each other in front of the Prophet while we were sitting with him. One of the
two abused his companion furiously and his face became red. The Prophet said, “I know a word (sen –

with Allah from Satan, the outcast.’ ” So they said to that (furious) man, ‘Don’t you hear what the
Prophet is saying?” He said, “I am not mad.”

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 107:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Rifa’a Al-Qurazi divorced his wife irrevocably (i.e. that divorce was the final). Later on ‘Abdur-
Rahman bin Az-Zubair married her after him. She came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I
was Rifa’a’s wife and he divorced me thrice, and then I was married to ‘Abdur-Rahman bin
AzZubair, who, by Allah has nothing with him except something like this fringe, O Allah’s Apostle,”
showing a fringe she had taken from her covering sheet. Abu Bakr was sitting with the Prophet
while Khalid Ibn Said bin Al-As was sitting at the gate of the room waiting for admission. Khalid
started calling Abu Bakr, “O Abu Bakr! Why don’t you reprove this lady from what she is openly say –
ing before Allah’s Apostle?” Allah’s Apostle did nothing except smiling, and then said (to the lady),
“Perhaps you want to go back to Rifa’a? No, (it is not possible), unless and until you enjoy the sexual
relation with him (‘Abdur Rahman), and he enjoys the sexual relation with you.”
