Narrated Anas:
Once two men from the companions of Allah’s Apostle went out of the house of the Prophet on a
very dark night. They were accompanied by two things that resembled two lamps lighting the way in
front of them, and when they parted, each of them was accompanied by one of those two things
(lamps) till they reached their homes.

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 814:
Narrated Anas:
There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used
to write (the revelations) for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to
say: “Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him.” Then Allah caused him to die, and
the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They
said, “This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and
took his body out of it because he had run away from them.” They again dug the grave deeply for
him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, “This is an
act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and threw his body
outside it, for he had run away from them.” They dug the grave for him as deep as they could, but in
the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. So they believed that what had
befallen him was not done by human beings and had to leave him thrown (on the ground).

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 766:
Narrated Anas:
Allah’s Apostle did not use to raise his hands in his invocations except in the Istisqa (i.e. invoking
Allah for the rain) in which he used to raise his hands so high that one could see the whiteness of his
armpits. (Note: It may be that Anas did not see the prophet (as) raising his hands but it has been nar –
rated that the Prophet (as) used to raise his hands for invocations other than Istisqa. See Hadith No.
612 Vol. 5. and Hadith No. 807 & 808 Vol 2.)

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 772:
Narrated Anas:
A bowl of water was brought to the Prophet while he was at Az-Zawra. He placed his hand in it
and the water started flowing among his fingers. All the people performed ablution (with that
water). Qatada asked Anas, “How many people were you?” Anas replied, “Three hundred or nearly
three-hundred.”

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 782:
Narrated Anas:
Once during the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle, the people of Medina suffered from drought. So while
the Prophet was delivering a sermon on a Friday a man got up saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! The horses
and sheep have perished. Will you invoke Allah to bless us with rain?” The Prophet lifted both his
hands and invoked. The sky at that time was as clear as glass. Suddenly a wind blew, raising clouds
that gathered together, and it started raining heavily. We came out (of the Mosque) wading through
the flowing water till we reached our homes. It went on raining till the next Friday, when the same
man or some other man stood up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The houses have collapsed; please in –

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 56: VIRTUES AND MERITS OF THE PROPHET (PBUH) AND HIS COMPANIONS
voke Allah to withhold the rain.” On that the Prophet smiled and said, “O Allah, (let it rain) around us
and not on us.” I then looked at the clouds to see them separating forming a sort of a crown round
Medina.

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 748:
Narrated Anas:
Allah’s Apostle was neither very tall nor short, neither absolutely white nor deep brown. His hair
was neither curly nor lank. Allah sent him (as an Apostle) when he was forty years old. Afterwards
he resided in Mecca for ten years and in Medina for ten more years. When Allah took him unto Him,
there was scarcely twenty white hairs in his head and beard.
