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)

Narrated ‘Ata:
One night the Prophet delayed the Isha’ prayer whereupon ‘Umar went to him and said, “The
prayer, O Allah’s Apostle! The women and children had slept.” The Prophet came out with water
dropping from his head, and said, “Were I not afraid that it would be hard for my followers (or for
the people), I would order them to pray Isha prayer at this time.” (Various versions of this Hadith are
given by the narrators with slight differences in expression but not in content).

Narrated Aisha:
One night the Prophet was unable to sleep and said, “Would that a righteous man from my com –
panions guarded me tonight.” Suddenly we heard the clatter of arms, whereupon the Prophet said,
“Who is it?” It was said, “I am Sa’d, O Allah’s Apostle! I have come to guard you.” The Prophet then
slept so soundly that we heard him snoring. Abu ‘Abdullah said: ‘Aisha said: Bilal said, “Would that I
but stayed overnight in a valley with Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of grass) around me (i.e., in
Mecca).” Then I told that to the Prophet .

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Not to wish to be the like except of two men. A man whom Allah has given
the (knowledge of the) Qur’an and he recites it during the hours of night and day and the one who
wishes says: If I were given the same as this (man) has been given, I would do what he does, and a
man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the just and right way, in which case the one
who wishes says, ‘If I were given the same as he has been given, I would do what he does.’ ” (See
Hadith No. 543 and 544, Vol 6)

deeds and repent.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men who
dislike to be left behind and for whom I do not have means of conveyance, I would not stay away

martyred and then come to life and then get martyred and then get resurrected and then get mar –
tyred.
