Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:
Allah’s Apostle said, “If a person teaches his slave girl good manners properly, educates her prop –
erly, and then manumits and marries her, he will get a double reward. And if a man believes in Jesus
and then believes in me, he will get a double reward. And if a slave fears his Lord (i.e. Allah) and
obeys his masters, he too will get a double reward.”

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
The Prophet said, “The superiority of ‘Aisha to other ladies is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e.
meat and bread dish) to other meals. Many men reached the level of perfection, but no woman
reached such a level except Mary, the daughter of Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh.”
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “Amongst all those women who ride camels
(i.e. Arabs), the ladies of Quraish are the best. They are merciful and kind to their off-spring and the
best guardians of their husbands’ properties.’ Abu Huraira added, “Mary the daughter of Imran never
rode a camel.”

that he may be mentioned by the people, and a third may fight to show his position (i.e. bravery);
which of these regarded as fighting in Allah’s Cause?” The Prophet said, “He who fights so that Allah’s
Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.”

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
We were in the company of Allah’s Apostle (during Hajj). Whenever we went up a high place we
used to say: “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Allah is Greater,” and our voices
used to rise, so the Prophet said, “O people! Be merciful to yourselves (i.e. don’t raise your voice), for
you are not calling a deaf or an absent one, but One Who is with you, no doubt He is All-Hearer,
ever Near (to all things).”

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
I came to the Prophet at Al-Batha’ while his camel was kneeling down and he asked me, “Have you
intended to perform the Hajj?” I replied in the affirmative. He asked me, ‘With what intention have
you assumed Ihram?” I replied, “I have assumed Ihram with the same intention as that of the Prophet.
He said, “You have done well. Perform the Tawaf of the Ka’ba and (the Sai) between As-safa and Al-

Marwa and then finish the Ihram.” So, I performed the Tawaf around the Ka’ba and the Sai) between
As-Safa and Al-Marwa and then went to a woman of the tribe of Qais who cleaned my head from
lice. Later I assumed the Ihram for Hajj. I used to give the verdict of doing the same till the caliphate
of ‘Umar who said, “If you follow the Holy Book then it orders you to remain in the state of Ihram till
you finish from Hajj, if you follow the Prophet then he did not finish his Ihram till the Hadi (sacri –
fice) had reached its place of slaughtering (Hajj-al-Qiran).”
