Volume 8, Book 73, Number 142:
Narrated Um Salama:
Um Sulaim came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Verily, Allah does not feel shy to
tell the truth. If a woman gets a nocturnal sexual discharge (has a wet dream), is it essential for her
to take a bath? He replied, “Yes if she notices a discharge.”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 127:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
Mu’adh bin Jabal used to pray with the Prophet and then go to lead his people in prayer. Once he
led the people in prayer and recited Surat-al-Baqara. A man left (the row of the praying people) and
offered (light) prayer (separately) and went away. When Mu’adh came to know about it, he said. “He
(that man) is a hypocrite.” Later that man heard what Mu’adh said about him, so he came to the
Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We are people who work with our own hands and irrigate (our
farms) with our camels. Last night Mu’adh led us in the (night) prayer and he recited Sura-al-
Baqara, so I offered my prayer separately, and because of that, he accused me of being a hypocrite.”
The Prophet called Mu’adh and said thrice, “O Mu’adh! You are putting the people to trials? Recite
‘Wash-shamsi wad-uhaha’ (91) or’Sabbih isma Rabbi ka-l-A’la’ (87) or the like.”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 128:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said: “Whoever amongst you swears, (saying by error) in his oath ‘By Al-Lat and Al-
Uzza’, then he should say, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And whoever says to his
companions, ‘Come let me gamble’ with you, then he must give something in charity (as an expiation
for such a sin).” (See Hadith No. 645)
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 129:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
that he found ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab in a group of people and he was swearing by his father. So Al –
lah’s Apostle called them, saying, “Verily! Allah forbids you to swear by your fathers. If one has to
take an oath, he should swear by Allah or otherwise keep quiet.”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 113:
Narrated Zainab bint Um Salama:
Um Sulaim said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Verily Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it essential
for a woman to take a bath after she had a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?” He said, “Yes, if
she notices discharge. On that Um Salama laughed and said, “Does a woman get a (nocturnal sexual)
discharge?” He said, “How then does (her) son resemble her (his mother)?”
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 114:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I never saw the Prophet laughing to an extent that one could see his palate, but he always used to
smile only.
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 115:
Narrated Anas:
A man came to the Prophet on a Friday while he (the Prophet) was delivering a sermon at Medina,
and said, “There is lack of rain, so please invoke your Lord to bless us with the rain.” The Prophet
looked at the sky when no cloud could be detected. Then he invoked Allah for rain. Clouds started
gathering together and it rained till the Medina valleys started flowing with water. It continued
raining till the next Friday. Then that man (or some other man) stood up while the Prophet was de –
livering the Friday sermon, and said, “We are drowned; Please invoke your Lord to withhold it (rain)
from us” The Prophet smiled and said twice or thrice, “O Allah! Please let it rain round about us and
not upon us.” The clouds started dispersing over Medina to the right and to the left, and it rained
round about Medina and not upon Medina. Allah showed them (the people) the miracle of His
Prophet and His response to his invocation.
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 116:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet said, “Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a
man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e.

wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on
telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar.”
