When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) besieged Taif and could not conquer its people, he said, "We will return (to
Medina) If Allah wills." That distressed the Companions (of the Prophet (ﷺ) and they said, "Shall we go
away without conquering it (i.e. the Fort of Taif)?" Once the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let us return." Then the
Prophet said (to them), "Fight tomorrow." They fought and (many of them) got wounded, whereupon
the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "We will return (to Medina) tomorrow if Allah wills." That delighted them,
whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) smiled. The sub-narrator, Sufyan said once, "(The Prophet) smiled."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 355
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Mahmud ibn
Rabi al-Ansari that Utban ibn Malik, who was a blind man, used to lead
his people in prayer, and he said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, "Sometimes it is dark and rainy and
there is a lot of water around outside, and I am a man who has lost
his sight. Messenger of Allah, pray in a certain place in my house so
that I can take it as a place to pray." The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to him and said, "Where
would you like me to pray?" He indicated a place to him and the
Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed
there.
Muwatta Malik Book 9, Hadith 94
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) distributed something (from the resources of Zakat) amongst a group of people while I
was sitting amongst them, but he left a man whom I considered the best of the lot. So, I went up to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked him secretly, "Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider him a
believer." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Or merely a Muslim (Who surrender to Allah)." I remained quiet for a
while but could not help repeating my question because of what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider him a believer. " The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Or
merely a Muslim." I remained quiet for a while but could not help repeating my question because of
what I knew about him. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I
consider him a believer." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Or merely a Muslim." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h)
said, "I give to a person while another is dearer to me, for fear that he may be thrown in the Hell-fire
on his face (by reneging from Islam)."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 79
We were sitting in the company of Abu Musa that he called for food and it consisted of flesh of fowl. It was then that a person from Banu Tamim visited him. His complexion was red having the resemblance of a slave. He said to him: Come and (join me in food). He showed reluctance. He (Abu Masa) said: Come on, for I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) eating it (fowl's meat), whereupon that person said: I saw it eating something (of filth and rubbish) and I found it repugnant and took an oath that I would never eat that. He (Abu Muds) said: Come, so that I would narrate to you about that (the incident pertaining to vow). (And he narrated thus): I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with a group of people belonging to the tribe of Ash'ari, asking him to provide us with riding camels. He (the Holy Prophet) said: By Allah, I cannot provide you with riding animals. And there is nothing with me with which I can provide you a mount. We stayed (for some time) there as Allah willed, and there was brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) booty of camels. He called us and commanded that we should be given five white humped camels. As we were about to go back, some of us said to the other: As we made Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forget oath, there would be no blessing for us (in his gift). We went back to him and said: Allah's Messenger, we came to you to provide us with riding animals and you took an oath that you would never equip us with mounts and then you have provided us with the riding beasts Allah's Messenger, have you forgotten? Thereupon he said: I swear by Allah that if Allah so wills, I shall not swear an oath, and then consider something else to be better than it without making atonement for my oath and doing the thing that is better. So you go; Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has given you riding animals.
Sahih Muslim Book 27, Hadith 12
"I stayed overnight with my maternal aunt Maimunah bin Al-Harith, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stayed overnight with her. I saw him get up to relieve himself and he went to the waterskin and undid its string, then he performed wudu and that was moderate (in the amount of water used). Then he went to his bed and slept. Then he got up again and went to the waterskin and undid its string, and performed wudu again, like the first time. Then he stood and prayed, and when he prostrated he said: 'Allahummaj'al fi qalbi nuran waj'al fi sami' nuran waj'al fi basri nuran, waj'al min tahti nuran waj'al min fawqi nuran, wa 'an yamii nuran wa 'an yasari nuran waj'al amami nuran, waj'al khalfi nuran wa a'zimli nura (O Allah, place light in my heart, and place light in my hearing, and place light in my seeing, and place light beneath me, and place light above me, and light on my right, and light on my left, and place light behind me, and make the light greater for me.') Then he slept until he started to snore, then Bilal came and woke him up for the prayer."
