Volume 3, Book 49, Number 855:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
There was a dispute amongst the people of the tribe of Bani ‘Amr bin ‘Auf. The Prophet went to
them along with some of his companions in order to make peace between them. The time for the
prayer became due but the Prophet did not turn up; Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e. call) for the
prayer but the Prophet did not turn up, so Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said, “The time for the prayer is
due and the Prophet i detained, would you lead the people in the prayer?” Abu Bakr replied, “Yes, you
wish.” So, Bilal pronounced the Iqama of the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead (to lead the prayer),
but the Prophet came walking among the rows till he joined the first row. The people started clap –
ping and they clapped too much, and Abu Bakr used not to look hither and thither in the prayer, but
he turned round and saw the Prophet standing behind him. The Prophet beckoned him with his
hand to keep on praying where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hand and praised Allah and then re –
treated till he came in the (first) row, and the Prophet went ahead and lead the people in the prayer.
When the Prophet finished the prayer, he turned towards the people and said, “O people! When
something happens to you during the prayer, you start clapping. Really clapping is (permissible) for
women only. If something happens to one of you in his prayer, he should say: ‘Subhan Allah’, (Glori –
fied be Allah), for whoever hears him (saying so) will direct his attention towards him. O Abu Bakr!
What prevented you from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned to you (to continue)?”
Abu Bakr replied, “It did not befit the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front of the Prophet.

A drink (milk mixed with water) was brought to the Prophet who drank some of it while a boy
was sitting on his right and old men on his left. The Prophet said to the boy, “If you permit me, I’ll
give (the rest of the drink to) these old men first.” The boy said, “I will not give preference to any one
over me as regards my share from you, O Allah’s Apostle!” The Prophet then put that container in the
boy’s hand. (See Hadith No. 541).

Once a tumbler (full of milk or water) was brought to Allah’s Apostle who drank from it, while on
his right side there was sitting a boy who was the youngest of those who were present, and on his left
side there were old men. The Prophet asked, “O boy ! Do you allow me to give (the drink) to the elder
people (first)?” The boy said, “I will not prefer anybody to have my share from you, O Allah’s
Apostle!” So, he gave it to the boy.

Volume 3, Book 39, Number 539:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
We used to be very happy on Friday as an old lady used to cut some roots of the Silq, which we
used to plant on the banks of our small water streams, and cook them in a pot of her’s, adding to
them, some grains of barley. (Ya’qub, the sub-narrator said, “I think the narrator mentioned that the
food did not contain fat or melted fat (taken from meat).”) When we offered the Friday prayer we
would go to her and she would serve us with the dish. So, we used to be happy on Fridays because of
that. We used not to take our meals or the midday nap except after the Jumua prayer (i.e. Friday
prayer) .

to the old men?” The boy said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I will not give preference to anyone over me to
