Volume 2, Book 13, Number 23:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
One of the wives of Umar (bin Al-Khattab) used to offer the Fajr and the ‘Isha’ prayer in congrega –
tion in the Mosque. She was asked why she had come out for the prayer as she knew that Umar dis –
liked it, and he has great ghaira (self-respect). She replied, “What prevents him from stopping me
from this act?” The other replied, “The statement of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h): ‘Do not stop Allah’s wo –
men-slave from going to Allah s Mosques’ prevents him.”
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 3:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
While Umar bin Al-Khattab was standing and delivering the sermon on a Friday, one of the com –
panions of the Prophet, who was one of the foremost Muhajirs (emigrants) came. ‘Umar said to him,
“What is the time now?” He replied, “I was busy and could not go back to my house till I heard the
Adhan. I did not perform more than the ablution.” Thereupon ‘Umar said to him, “Did you perform
only the ablution although you know that Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) used to order us to take a bath (on
Fridays)?”
Volume 2, Book 13, Number 18:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “All of you are Guardians.” Yunis said: Ruzaiq bin Hukaim wrote to
Ibn Shihab while I was with him at Wadi-al-Qura saying, “Shall I lead the Jumua prayer?” Ruzaiq
was working on the land (i.e farming) and there was a group of Sudanese people and some others
with him; Ruzaiq was then the Governor of Aila. Ibn Shihab wrote (to Ruzaiq) ordering him to lead
the Jumua prayer and telling him that Salim told him that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar had said, “I heard Al –
lah’s Apostle saying, ‘All of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and the things under
your care. The Imam (i.e. ruler) is the guardian of his subjects and is responsible for them and a man
is the guardian of his family and is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s
house and is responsible for it. A servant is the guardian of his master’s belongings and is responsible
for them.’ I thought that he also said, ‘A man is the guardian of his father’s property and is respons –
ible for it. All of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and the things under your care.”

The Prophet saw expectoration in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque while he was leading
the prayer, and scratched it off. After finishing the prayer, he said, “Whenever any of you is in prayer
he should know that Allah is in front of him. So none should spit in front of him in the prayer.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 1 > BOOK 11: CALL TO PRAYERS (ADHAAN)
When the earliest emigrants came to Al-‘Usba a place in Quba’, before the arrival of the Prophet-
Salim, the slave of Abu Hudhaifa, who knew the Qur’an more than the others used to lead them in
prayer.
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 578:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
When the Muslims arrived at Medina, they used to assemble for the prayer, and used to guess the
time for it. During those days, the practice of Adhan for the prayers had not been introduced yet.
Once they discussed this problem regarding the call for prayer. Some people suggested the use of a
bell like the Christians, others proposed a trumpet like the horn used by the Jews, but ‘Umar was the
first to suggest that a man should call (the people) for the prayer; so Allah’s Apostle ordered Bilal to
get up and pronounce the Adhan for prayers.
