Volume 5, Book 58, Number 186:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Allah caused the day of Buath to take place before Allah’s Apostle was sent (as an Apostle) so that
when Allah’s Apostle reached Medina, those people had already divided (in different groups) and
their chiefs had been killed or wounded. So Allah made that day precede Allah’s Apostle so that they
(i.e. the Ansar) might embrace Islam.
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: To run along the valley between two green pillars of Safa and Marwa
(mountains) was not Sunna, but the people in the pre-islamic period of ignorance used to run along
it, and used to say: “We do not cross this rain stream except running strongly. “

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 165:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I did not feel jealous of any woman as much as I did of Khadija because Allah’s Apostle used to
mention her very often. He married me after three years of her death, and his Lord (or Gabriel)
ordered him to give her the good news of having a palace of Qasab in Paradise.

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 166:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija though I did
not see her, but the Prophet used to mention her very often, and when ever he slaughtered a sheep,
he would cut its parts and send them to the women friends of Khadija. When I sometimes said to
him, “(You treat Khadija in such a way) as if there is no woman on earth except Khadija,” he would
say, “Khadija was such-and-such, and from her I had children.”

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 172:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
‘Ashura’ (i.e. the tenth of Muharram) was a day on which the tribe of Quraish used to fast in the
pre-lslamic period of ignorance. The Prophet also used to fast on this day. So when he migrated to
Medina, he fasted on it and ordered (the Muslims) to fast on it. When the fasting of Ramadan was
enjoined, it became optional for the people to fast or not to fast on the day of Ashura.

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 176:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
A black lady slave of some of the ‘Arabs embraced Islam and she had a hut in the mosque. She
used to visit us and talk to us, and when she finished her talk, she used to say: “The day of the scarf
was one of our Lord’s wonders: Verily! He has delivered me from the land of Kufr.” When she said
the above verse many times, I (i.e. ‘Aisha) asked her, “What was the day of the scarf?” She replied,
“Once the daughter of some of my masters went out and she was wearing a leather scarf (round her
neck) and the leather scarf fell from her and a kite descended and picked it up, mistaking it for a
piece of meat. They (i.e. my masters) accused me of stealing it and they tortured me to such an extent
that they even looked for it in my private parts. So, while they all were around me, and I was in my
great distress, suddenly the kite came over our heads and threw the scarf, and they took it. I said to
them ‘This is what you accused me of stealing, though I was innocent.”

Abu Bakr had a slave who used to give him some of his earnings. Abu Bakr used to eat from it. One
day he brought something and Abu Bakr ate from it. The slave said to him, “Do you know what this
is?” Abu Bakr then enquired, “What is it?” The slave said, “Once, in the pre-Islamic period of ignor –
ance I foretold somebody’s future though I did not know this knowledge of foretelling but I, cheated
him, and when he met me, he gave me something for that service, and that is what you have eaten
from.” Then Abu Bakr put his hand in his mouth and vomited whatever was present in his stomach.

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 161:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
On the day of the battle of Uhud the pagans were defeated completely. Then Satan shouted loudly,
“O Allah’s slaves! Beware the ones behind you!” So the front files attacked the back ones. Then Hud –
haifa looked and saw his father, and said loudly, “O Allah’s slaves! My father! My father!” By Allah,
they did not stop till they killed him (i.e. Hudaifa’s father). Hudhaifa said, “May Allah forgive you!”
The sub-narrator said, “By Allah, because of what Hudhaifa said, he remained in a good state till he
met Allah (i.e. died).”

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 164:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija (although) she
died before he married me, for I often heard him mentioning her, and Allah had told him to give her
the good tidings that she would have a palace of Qasab (i.e. pipes of precious stones and pearls in
Paradise), and whenever he slaughtered a sheep, he would send her women-friends a good share of
it.
