Volume 9, Book 92, Number 390:
Narrated Asma’ bint Abu Bakr:
I came to ‘Aisha during the solar eclipse. The people were standing (offering prayer) and she too,
was standing and offering prayer. I asked, “What is wrong with the people?” She pointed towards the
sky with her hand and said, Subhan Allah!” I asked her, “Is there a sign?” She nodded with her head
meaning, yes. When Allah’s Apostle finished (the prayer), he glorified and praised Allah and said,
“There is not anything that I have not seen before but I have seen now at this place of mine, even
Paradise and Hell. It has been revealed to me that you people will be put to trial nearly like the trial
of Ad-Dajjal, in your graves. As for the true believer or a Muslim (the sub-narrator is not sure as to
which of the two (words Asma’ had said) he will say, ‘Muhammad came with clear signs from Allah,
and we responded to him (accepted his teachings) and believed (what he said)’ It will be said (to him)
‘Sleep in peace; we have known that you were a true believer who believed with certainty.’ As for a
hypocrite or a doubtful person, (the sub-narrator is not sure as to which word Asma’ said) he will
say, ‘I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said the same.’ “
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 592:
Narrated Asma ‘bint Abu Bakr:
The Prophet said, “I will be standing at the Lake-Fount so that I will see whom among you will
come to me; and some people will be taken away from me, and I will say, ‘O Lord, (they are) from me
and from my followers.’ Then it will be said, ‘Did you notice what they did after you? By Allah, they
kept on turning on their heels (turned as renegades).’ ” The sub-narrator, Ibn Abi Mulaika said, “O
Allah, we seek refuge with You from turning on our heels, or being put to trial in our religion.”

Volume 7, Book 66, Number 378:
Narrated Asma’ bint Abu Bakr:
I conceived ‘Abdullah bin AzZubair at Mecca and went out (of Mecca) while I was about to give
birth. I came to Medina and encamped at Quba’, and gave birth at Quba’. Then I brought the child to
Allah’s Apostle and placed it (on his lap). He asked for a date, chewed it, and put his saliva in the
mouth of the child. So the first thing to enter its stomach was the saliva of Allah’s Apostle. Then he
did its Tahnik with a date, and invoked Allah to bless him. It was the first child born in the Islamic
era, therefore they (Muslims) were very happy with its birth, for it had been said to them that the
Jews had bewitched them, and so they would not produce any offspring.

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Abu Talha had a child who was sick. Once, while Abu Talha was out, the child died. When Abu
Talha returned home, he asked, “How does my son fare?” Um Salaim (his wife) replied, “He is quieter
than he has ever been.” Then she brought supper for him and he took his supper and slept with her.
When he had finished, she said (to him), “Bury the child (as he’s dead).” Next morning Abu Talha
came to Allah’s Apostle and told him about that. The Prophet said (to him), “Did you sleep with your
wife last night?” Abu Talha said, “Yes”. The Prophet said, “O Allah! Bestow your blessing on them as
regards that night of theirs.” Um Sulaim gave birth to a boy. Abu Talha told me to take care of the

child till it was taken to the Prophet. Then Abu Talha took the child to the Prophet and Um Sulaim
sent some dates along with the child. The Prophet took the child (on his lap) and asked if there was
something with him. The people replied, “Yes, a few dates.” The Prophet took a date, chewed it, took
some of it out of his mouth, put it into the child’s mouth and did Tahnik for him with that, and
named him ‘Abdullah.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 7 > BOOK 62: WEDLOCK, MARRIAGE (NIKAAH)
When Az-Zubair married me, he had no real property or any slave or anything else except a
camel which drew water from the well, and his horse. I used to feed his horse with fodder and drew
water and sew the bucket for drawing it, and prepare the dough, but I did not know how to bake
bread. So our Ansari neighbors used to bake bread for me, and they were honorable ladies. I used to
carry the date stones on my head from Zubair’s land given to him by Allah’s Apostle and this land
was two third Farsakh (about two miles) from my house. One day, while I was coming with the date
stones on my head, I met Allah’s Apostle along with some Ansari people. He called me and then, (dir –
ecting his camel to kneel down) said, “Ikh! Ikh!” so as to make me ride behind him (on his camel). I
felt shy to travel with the men and remembered Az-Zubair and his sense of Ghira, as he was one of
those people who had the greatest sense of Ghira. Allah’s Apostle noticed that I felt shy, so he pro –
ceeded. I came to Az-Zubair and said, “I met Allah’s Apostle while I was carrying a load of date
stones on my head, and he had some companions with him. He made his camel kneel down so that I
might ride, but I felt shy in his presence and remembered your sense of Ghira (See the glossary). On
that Az-Zubair said, “By Allah, your carrying the date stones (and you being seen by the Prophet in
such a state) is more shameful to me than your riding with him.” (I continued serving in this way) till
Abu Bakr sent me a servant to look after the horse, whereupon I felt as if he had set me free.
