Allah’s Apostle said, “The (call for prayer) Adhan of Bilal should not stop anyone of you from tak –
ing his Suhur for he pronounces the Adhan in order that whoever among you is praying the night

We came to the Prophet and we were young men nearly of equal ages and we stayed with him for
twenty nights. Allah’s Apostle was a very kind man and when he realized our longing for our famil –
ies, he asked us about those whom we had left behind. When we informed him, he said, “Go back to
your families and stay with them and teach them (religion) and order them (to do good deeds). The
Prophet mentioned things some of which I remembered and some I did not. Then he said, “Pray as
you have seen me praying, and when it is the time of prayer, one of you should pronounce the call
(Adhan) for the prayer and the eldest of you should lead the prayer. “

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 349:
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.”

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.
