The ‘Prophet was the best and the bravest amongst the people. Once the people of Medina got ter –
rified at night, so they went in the direction of the noise (that terrified them). The Prophet met them
(on his way back) after he had found out the truth. He was riding an unsaddled horse belonging to
Abu Talha and a sword was hanging by his neck, and he was saying, “Don’t be afraid! Don’t be
afraid!” He further said, “I found it (i.e. the horse) very fast,” or said, “This horse is very fast.” (Qastala-

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet had a she camel called Al Adba which could not be excelled in a race. (Humaid, a

noticed their distress. He then said, “It is Allah’s Law that He brings down whatever rises high in the
world.”

Narrated Anas:
Allah’s Apostle went to the daughter of Milhan and reclined there (and slept) and then (woke up)
smiling. She asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What makes you smile?” He replied, (I dreamt that) some
people amongst my followers were sailing on the green sea in Allah’s Cause, resembling kings on
thrones.” She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke Allah to make me one of them.” He said, “O Allah! Let
her be one of them.” Then he (slept again and woke up and) smiled. She asked him the same question
and he gave the same reply. She said, “Invoke Allah to make me one of them.” He replied, ”You will be
amongst the first group of them; you will not be amongst the last.” Later on she married ‘Ubada bin
As-Samit and then she sailed on the sea with bint Qaraza, Mu’awiya’s wife (for Jihad). On her return,
she mounted her riding animal, which threw her down breaking her neck, and she died on falling
down.

Narrated Anas:
On the day (of the battle) of Uhad when (some) people retreated and left the Prophet, I saw ‘Aisha
bint Abu Bakr and Um Sulaim, with their robes tucked up so that the bangles around their ankles
were visible hurrying with their water skins (in another narration it is said, “carrying the water skins
on their backs”). Then they would pour the water in the mouths of the people, and return to fill the
water skins again and came back again to pour water in the mouths of the people.
