Narrated Anas:
The Prophet fasted Al-Wisal on the last days of the month. Some people did the same, and when
the news reached the Prophet he said, “If the month had been prolonged for me, then I would have
fasted Wisal for such a long time that the most exaggerating ones among you would have given up
their exaggeration. I am not like you; my Lord always makes me eat and drink.”
Volume 9, Book 90, Number 348:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle forbade Al-Wisal. The people said (to him), “But you fast Al-‘Wisal,” He said, “Who
among you is like me? When I sleep (at night), my Lord makes me eat and drink. But when the
people refused to give up Al-Wisal, he fasted Al-Wisal along with them for two days and then they
saw the crescent whereupon the Prophet said, “If the crescent had not appeared I would have fasted
for a longer period,” as if he intended to punish them herewith.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
I asked the Prophet about the wall (outside the Ka’ba). “Is it regarded as part of the Ka’ba?” He
replied, “Yes.” I said, “Then why didn’t the people include it in the Ka’ba?” He said, “(Because) your
people ran short of money.” I asked, “Then why is its gate so high?” He replied, ”Your people did so in
order to admit to it whom they would and forbid whom they would. Were your people not still close
to the period of ignorance, and were I not afraid that their hearts might deny my action, then surely I
would include the wall in the Ka’ba and make its gate touch the ground.”

Narrated Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib:
The Prophet was carrying earth with us on the day of the battle of Al-Ahzab (confederates) and I
saw that the dust was covering the whiteness of his abdomen, and he (the Prophet ) was saying, “(O
Allah) ! Without You, we would not have been guided, nor would we have given in charity, nor
would we have prayed. So (O Allah!) please send tranquility (Sakina) upon us as they, (the chiefs of
the enemy tribes) have rebelled against us. And if they intend affliction (i.e. want to frighten us and
fight against us) then we would not (flee but withstand them). And the Prophet used to raise his
voice with it. (See Hadith No. 430 and 432, Vol. 5)

Ibn ‘Abbas mentioned the case of a couple on whom the judgment of Lian has been passed. ‘Abdul –
lah bin Shaddad said, “Was that the lady in whose case the Prophet said, “If I were to stone a lady to
death without a proof (against her)?’ “Ibn ‘Abbas said, “No! That was concerned with a woman who
though being a Muslim used to arouse suspicion by her outright misbehavior.” (See Hadith No. 230,
Vol.7)
