to hurry while riding a slow camel. A rider overtook me and pricked my camel with a spear which
he had, whereupon my camel started running as fast as any other fast camel you may see. I looked
back, and behold, the rider was Allah’s Apostle . I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I am newly married ” He
asked, “Have you got married?” I replied, “Yes.” He said, “A virgin or a matron?” I replied, “(Not a vir –
gin) but a matron” He said, “Why didn’t you marry a young girl so that you could play with her and
she with you?” When we reached (near Medina) and were going to enter it, the Prophet said, “Wait
till you enter your home early in the night so that the lady whose hair is unkempt may comb her
hair and that the lady whose husband has been away may shave her pubic hair.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
“Whenever the Prophet passed by (my mother Um-Sulaim) he used to enter her and greet her.
Anas further said: Once the Prophet way a bridegroom during his marriage with Zainab, Um Sulaim
said to me, “Let us give a gift to Allah’s Apostle .” I said to her, “Do it.” So she prepared Haisa (a sweet
dish) made from dates, butter and dried yoghurt and she sent it with me to him. I took it to him and
he said, “Put it down,” and ordered me to call some men whom he named, and to invite whomever I
would meet. I did what he ordered me to do, and when I returned, I found the house crowded with
people and saw the Prophet keeping his hand over the Haisa and saying over it whatever Allah
wished (him to say). Then he called the men in batches of ten to eat of it, and he said to them, “Men –
tion the Name of Allah, and each man should eat of the dish the nearest to him.” When all of them
had finished their meals, some of them left and a few remained there talking, over which I felt un –
happy. Then the Prophet went out towards the dwelling places (of his wives) and I too, went out after
him and told him that those people had left. Then he returned and entered his dwelling place and let
the curtains fall while I was in (his) dwelling place, and he was reciting the Verses:– ‘O you who
believe! Enter not the Prophet’s house until leave is given you for a meal, (and then) not (as early as)
to what for its preparation. But when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken your meals,
disperse without sitting for a talk. Verily such (behavior) annoys the Prophet; and he would be shy of
(asking) you (to go), but Allah is not shy of (telling you) the Truth.’ (33-53) Abu Uthman said: Anas
said, “I served the Prophet for ten years.”

rider was the Prophet himself. He said, ‘What makes you in such a hurry?” I replied, I am newly
married ” He said, “Did you marry a virgin or a matron? I replied, “A matron.” He said, “Why didn’t
you marry a young girl so that you may play with her and she with you?” When we were about to
enter (Medina), the Prophet said, “Wait so that you may enter (Medina) at night so that the lady of
unkempt hair may comb her hair and the one whose husband has been absent may shave her pubic
region.

which is characteristic of the period of ignorance?” They said, “O Allah’s Apostle! A man from the
emigrants kicked one of the Ansar (on the buttocks with his foot).” Allah’s Apostle said, “Leave it (that
call) as is a detestable thing.” ‘Abdullah bin Ubai heard that and said, ‘Have the (the emigrants) done
so? By Allah, if we return Medina, surely, the more honorable will expel therefrom the meaner.”
When this statement reached the Prophet. ‘Umar got up an, said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Let me chop off
the head of this hypocrite (‘Abdullah bin Ubai)!” The Prophet said “Leave him, lest the people say that
