The Prophet said, “The Israelis used to be ruled and guided by prophets: Whenever a prophet died,
another would take over his place. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who
will increase in number.” The people asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What do you order us (to do)?” He
said, “Obey the one who will be given the pledge of allegiance first. Fulfil their (i.e. the Caliphs)
rights, for Allah will ask them about (any shortcoming) in ruling those Allah has put under their
guardianship.”

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 645:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “None spoke in cradle but three: (The first was) Jesus, (the second was), there a
man from Bani Israel called Juraij. While he was offering his prayers, his mother came and called
him. He said (to himself), ‘Shall I answer her or keep on praying?” (He went on praying) and did not
answer her, his mother said, “O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes.” So while
he was in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a
shepherd and presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her and then later
she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him
and dismantled his hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablu –
tion and offered prayer, and then came to the child and said, ‘O child! Who is your father?’ The child
replied, ‘The shepherd.’ (After hearing this) the people said, ‘We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,’
but he said, ‘No, of nothing but mud.'(The third was the hero of the following story) A lady from Bani
Israel was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, ‘O Allah !
Make my child like him.’ On that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, ‘O Allah! Do not
make me like him.’ The child then started to suck her breast again. (Abu Huraira further said, “As if I
were now looking at the Prophet sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.”) After a while the
people passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child’s mother) said, ‘O Allah! Do not make my
child like this (slave girl)!, On that the child left her breast and said, ‘O Allah! Make me like her.’
When she asked why, the child replied, ‘The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely
accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse.”

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 626:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Once while a Jew was selling something, he was offered a price that he was not pleased with. So,
he said, “No, by Him Who gave Moses superiority over all human beings!” Hearing him, an Ansari
man got up and slapped him on the face and said, “You say: By Him Who Gave Moses superiority
over all human beings although the Prophet (Muhammad) is present amongst us!” The Jew went to
the Prophet and said, “O Abu-l-Qasim! I am under the assurance and contract of security, so what
right does so-and-so have to slap me?” The Prophet asked the other, “Why have you slapped”. He told
him the whole story. The Prophet became angry, till anger appeared on his face, and said, “Don’t give
superiority to any prophet amongst Allah’s Prophets, for when the trumpet will be blown, everyone
on the earth and in the heavens will become unconscious except those whom Allah will exempt. The
trumpet will be blown for the second time and I will be the first to be resurrected to see Moses hold –
ing Allah’s Throne. I will not know whether the unconsciousness which Moses received on the Day
of Tur has been sufficient for him, or has he got up before me. And I do not say that there is anybody
who is better than Yunus bin Matta.”
