Volume 4, Book 55, Number 634:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “A strong demon from the Jinns came to me yesterday suddenly, so as to spoil my
prayer, but Allah enabled me to overpower him, and so I caught him and intended to tie him to one
of the pillars of the Mosque so that all of you might see him, but I remembered the invocation of my
brother Solomon: ‘And grant me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me.’ (38.35) so
I let him go cursed.”

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 635:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Solomon (the son of) David said, ‘Tonight I will sleep with seventy ladies each of
whom will conceive a child who will be a knight fighting for “Allah’s Cause.’ His companion said, ‘If
Allah will.’ But Solomon did not say so; therefore none of those women got pregnant except one who
gave birth to a half child.” The Prophet further said, “If the Prophet Solomon had said it (i.e. ‘If Allah
will’) he would have begotten children who would have fought in Allah’s Cause.” Shuaib and Ibn Abi
Az-Zinad said, “Ninety (women) is more correct (than seventy).”

Volume 4, Book 55, Number 637:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “My example and the example o the people is like that of a person who lit a
fire and let the moths, butterflies and these insects fall in it.” He also said, “There were two women,
each of whom had a child with her. A wolf came and took away the child of one of them, whereupon
the other said, ‘It has taken your child.’ The first said, ‘But it has taken your child.’ So they both car –
ried the case before David who judged that the living child be given to the elder lady. So both of
them went to Solomon bin David and informed him (of the case). He said, ‘Bring me a knife so as to
cut the child into two pieces and distribute it between them.’ The younger lady said, ‘May Allah be
merciful to you! Don’t do that, for it is her (i.e. the other lady’s) child.’ So he gave the child to the
younger lady.”

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.”

Allah’s Apostle said, “On the night of my Ascension to Heaven, I saw (the prophet) Moses who was
a thin person with lank hair, looking like one of the men of the tribe of Shanua; and I saw Jesus who
was of average height with red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom. And I resemble prophet
Abraham more than any of his offspring does. Then I was given two cups, one containing milk and
the other wine. Gabriel said, ‘Drink whichever you like.’ I took the milk and drank it. Gabriel said,
‘You have accepted what is natural, (True Religion i.e. Islam) and if you had taken the wine, your fol –
lowers would have gone astray.’ “
