Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Some Ansari men asked permission from Allah’s Apostle saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allow us not to
take the ransom of our nephew Al Abbas. The Prophet replied, “Do not leave a single Dirham there –
of.”
(In another narration) Anas said, “Some wealth was brought to the Prophet from Bahrain. Al Abbas
came to him and said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Give me (some of it), as I have paid my and ‘Aqil’s ransom.’
The Prophet said, ‘Take,’ and gave him in his garment.”

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 261:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A group of eight men from the tribe of ‘Ukil came to the Prophet and then they found the climate
of Medina unsuitable for them. So, they said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Provide us with some milk.” Allah’s
Apostle said, “I recommend that you should join the herd of camels.” So they went and drank the ur –
ine and the milk of the camels (as a medicine) till they became healthy and fat. Then they killed the
shepherd and drove away the camels, and they became unbelievers after whey were Muslims. When

the Prophet was informed by a shouter for help, he sent some men in their pursuit, and before the
sun rose high, they were brought, and he had their hands and feet cut off. Then he ordered for nails
which were heated and passed over their eyes, and whey were left in the Harra (i.e. rocky land in
Medina). They asked for water, and nobody provided them with water till they died (Abu Qilaba, a
sub-narrator said, “They committed murder and theft and fought against Allah and His Apostle, and
spread evil in the land.”)

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 212:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Once there was a feeling of fright at Medina, so Allah’s Apostle rode a horse belonging to Abu
Talha and (on his return) he said, “We have not seen anything (fearful), but we found this horse very
fast.”

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 213:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Once the people got frightened, so Allah’s Apostle rode a slow horse belonging to Abu Talha, and
he set out all alone, making the horse gallop. Then the people rode, making their horses gallop after
him. On his return he said, “Don’t be afraid (there is nothing to be afraid of) (and I have found) this
horse a very fast one.” That horse was never excelled in running hence forward. (Qastalani Vol. 5)

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 143:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said to Abu Talha, “Choose one of your boy servants to serve me in my expedition to
Khaibar.” So, Abu Talha took me letting me ride behind him while I was a boy nearing the age of pu –
berty. I used to serve Allah’s Apostle when he stopped to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, “O Al –
lah! I seek refuge with You from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserli –
ness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by men.” Then we reached
Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya bint
Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him. Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. So Al –
lah’s Apostle selected her for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place called Sad-
AsSahba,’ where her menses were over and he took her for his wife. Haris (a kind of dish) was served
on a small leather sheet. Then Allah’s Apostle told me to call those who were around me. So, that was
the marriage banquet of Allah’s Apostle and Safiya. Then we left for Medina. I saw Allah’s Apostle
folding a cloak round the hump of the camel so as to make a wide space for Safiya (to sit on behind
him) He sat beside his camel letting his knees for Safiya to put her feet on so as to mount the camel.
Then, we proceeded till we approached Medina; he looked at Uhud (mountain) and said, “This is a
mountain which loves us and is loved by us.” Then he looked at Medina and said, “O Allah! I make
the area between its (i.e. Medina’s) two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary.
O Allah! Bless them (i.e. the people of Medina) in their Mudd and Sa (i.e. measures).”

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 144:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Um Haram told me that the Prophet one day took a midday nap in her house. Then he woke up
smiling. Um Haram asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What makes you smile?” He replied “I was astonished
to see (in my dream) some people amongst my followers on a sea-voyage looking like kings on the
thrones.” She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah to make me one of them.” He replied, “You are
amongst them.” He slept again and then woke up smiling and said the same as before twice or thrice.
And she said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah to make me one of them.” And he said, “You are
amongst the first batch.” ‘Ubada bin As-Samit married her (i.e. Um Haram) and then he took her for
Jihad. When she returned, an animal was presented to her to ride, but she fell down and her neck
was broken.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
I went along with the Prophet to Khaibar so as to serve him. (Later on) when the Prophet returned
he, on seeing the Uhud mountain, said, “This is a mountain that loves us andis loved by us.” Then he
pointed to Medina with his hand saying, “O Allah! I make the area which is in between Medina’s two
mountains a sanctuary, as Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless us in our Sa and Mudd
(i.e. units of measuring).”
