A man came to the Prophet and said, “I have been ruined for I have had sexual relation with my
wife in Ramadan (while I was fasting)” The Prophet said (to him), “Manumit a slave.” The man said, ”
I cannot afford that.” The Prophet said, “(Then) fast for two successive months continuously”. The
man said, “I cannot do that.” The Prophet said, “(Then) feed sixty poor persons.” The man said, “I have
nothing (to feed them with).” Then a big basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet. The Prophet
said, “Where is the questioner? Go and give this in charity.” The man said, “(Shall I give this in char –
ity) to a poorer person than l? By Allah, there is no family in between these two mountains (of Med –

said, “Then (feed) your (family with it).

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
While I was going along with Allah’s Apostle who was wearing a Najrani Burd (sheet) with a thick
border, a bedouin overtook the Prophet and pulled his Rida’ (sheet) forcibly. I looked at the side of
the shoulder of the Prophet and noticed that the edge of the Rida’ had left a mark on it because of the
violence of his pull. The bedouin said, “O Muhammad! Order for me some of Allah’s property which
you have.” The Prophet turned towards him, (smiled) and ordered that he be given something.

The Prophet did not screen himself from me (had never prevented me from entering upon him)
since I embraced Islam, and whenever he saw me, he would receive me with a smile. Once I told him
that I could not sit firm on horses. He stroked me on the chest with his hand, and said, “O Allah!
Make him firm and make him a guiding and a rightly guided man.

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)?”

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.
