Once Allah’s Apostle divided and distributed (the war booty). An Ansar man said, “By Allah !
Muhammad, by this distribution, did not intend to please Allah.” So I came to Allah’s Apostle and in –
formed him about it whereupon his face became changed with anger and he said, “May Allah bestow
His Mercy on Moses for he was hurt with more than this, yet he remained patient.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
Allah’s Apostle said, ” I know whether you are angry or pleased.” I said, “How do you know that,
Allah’s Apostle?” He said, “When you are pleased, you say, “Yes, by the Lord of Muhammad,’ but when
you are angry, you say, ‘No, by the Lord of Abraham!’ ” I said, “Yes, I do not leave, except your name.”

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 87:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
A man was mentioned before the Prophet and another man praised him greatly The Prophet said,
“May Allah’s Mercy be on you ! You have cut the neck of your friend.” The Prophet repeated this sen –
tence many times and said, “If it is indispensable for anyone of you to praise someone, then he should
say, ‘I think that he is so-and-so,” if he really thinks that he is such. Allah is the One Who will take
his accounts (as He knows his reality) and no-one can sanctify anybody before Allah.” (Khalid said,
“Woe to you,” instead of “Allah’s Mercy be on you.”)

(who was one of the companions who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet underneath the
tree (Al-Hudaibiya)) Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam (i.e. if
somebody swears by saying that he is a non-Muslim e.g., a Jew or a Christian, etc.) in case he is
telling a lie, he is really so if his oath is false, and a person is not bound to fulfill a vow about a thing
which he does not possess. And if somebody commits suicide with anything in this world, he will be
tortured with that very thing on the Day of Resurrection; And if somebody curses a believer, then his
sin will be as if he murdered him; And whoever accuses a believer of Kufr (disbelief), then it is as if
he killed him.”

A man from the companions of the Prophet said, “Two men abused each other in front of the
Prophet and one of them became angry and his anger became so intense that his face became
swollen and changed. The Prophet said, “I know a word the saying of which will cause him to relax if
he does say it.” Then a man went to him and informed him of the statement of the Prophet and said,
“Seek refuge with Allah from Satan.” On that, angry man said, ‘Do you find anything wrong with me?
Am I insane? Go away!”

Allah’s Apostle went out to inform the people about the (date of the Night of decree (Al-Qadr).
There happened a quarrel between two Muslim men. The Prophet said, “I came out to inform you
about the Night of Al-Qadr, but as so-and-so and so-and-so quarrelled, so the news about it had
been taken away; and may be it was better for you. So look for it in the ninth, the seventh, or the fifth
(of the last ten days of Ramadan).”
