Narrated Aisha:
A man asked permission to see the Prophet. He said, “Let Him come in; What an evil man of the
tribe he is! (Or, What an evil brother of the tribe he is).”
But when he entered, the Prophet spoke to him gently in a polite manner. I said to him, “O Allah’s
Apostle! You have said what you have said, then you spoke to him in a very gentle and polite man –
ner? The Prophet said, “The worse people, in the sight of Allah are those whom the people leave (un –
disturbed) to save themselves from their dirty language.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet did something and allowed his people to do it, but some people refrained from doing
it. When the Prophet learned of that, he delivered a sermon, and after having sent Praises to Allah, he
said, “What is wrong with such people as refrain from doing a thing that I do? By Allah, I know Allah
better than they, and I am more afraid of Him than they.”

Religion (of Islam), and our being visited by Allah’s Apostle in the morning and in the evening. One
day, while we were sitting in the house of Abu Bakr (my father) at noon, someone said, ‘This is Allah’s
Apostle coming at an hour at which he never used to visit us.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘There must be some –
thing very urgent that has brought him at this hour.’ The Prophet said, ‘I have been allowed to go out
(of Mecca) to migrate.’ “
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 107:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Rifa’a Al-Qurazi divorced his wife irrevocably (i.e. that divorce was the final). Later on ‘Abdur-
Rahman bin Az-Zubair married her after him. She came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I
was Rifa’a’s wife and he divorced me thrice, and then I was married to ‘Abdur-Rahman bin
AzZubair, who, by Allah has nothing with him except something like this fringe, O Allah’s Apostle,”
showing a fringe she had taken from her covering sheet. Abu Bakr was sitting with the Prophet
while Khalid Ibn Said bin Al-As was sitting at the gate of the room waiting for admission. Khalid
started calling Abu Bakr, “O Abu Bakr! Why don’t you reprove this lady from what she is openly say –
ing before Allah’s Apostle?” Allah’s Apostle did nothing except smiling, and then said (to the lady),
“Perhaps you want to go back to Rifa’a? No, (it is not possible), unless and until you enjoy the sexual
relation with him (‘Abdur Rahman), and he enjoys the sexual relation with you.”

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 89:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet continued for such-and-such period imagining that he has slept (had sexual rela –
tions) with his wives, and in fact he did not. One day he said, to me, “O ‘Aisha! Allah has instructed
me regarding a matter about which I had asked Him. There came to me two men, one of them sat
near my feet and the other near my head. The one near my feet, asked the one near my head (point –
ing at me), ‘What is wrong with this man? The latter replied, ‘He is under the effect of magic.’ The
first one asked, ‘Who had worked magic on him?’ The other replied, ‘Lubaid bin Asam.’ The first one
asked, ‘What material (did he use)?’ The other replied, ‘The skin of the pollen of a male date tree with

a comb and the hair stuck to it, kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan.”‘ Then the Prophet went
to that well and said, “This is the same well which was shown to me in the dream. The tops of its
date-palm trees look like the heads of the devils, and its water looks like the Henna infusion.” Then
the Prophet ordered that those things be taken out. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Won’t you disclose (the
magic object)?” The Prophet said, “Allah has cured me and I hate to circulate the evil among the
people.” ‘Aisha added, “(The magician) Lubaid bin Asam was a man from Bani Zuraiq, an ally of the
Jews.”
