Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from 'Amra
bint Abd ar-Rahman from A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, that a jewish woman came to beg from
her and said, "May Allah give you refuge from the punishment of the
grave." So A'isha asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, "Are people punished in their graves?", and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took
refuge in Allah from that. Then one morning the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went out on a journey and
there was an eclipse of the sun, and he returned in the late morning
and passed through his apartments. Then he stood and prayed, and the
people stood behind him. He stood for a long time, and then went into
ruku for a long time. Then he rose and stood for a long time, though
less than the first time, and then went into ruku for a long time,
though less than the first time. Then he rose, and went down into
sajda. Then he stood for a long time, though less than the time
before, and then went into ruku for a long time, though less than the
time before. Then he rose and stood for a long time, though less than
the time before, and then went into ruku for a long time, though less
than the time before. Then he rose, and went down into sajda. When he
had finished he said what Allah willed him to say, and then he told
them to seek protection for themselves from the punishment of the
grave."
Muwatta Malik Book 12, Hadith 3
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Time has come back to its original state which it had on the day Allah created the
Heavens and the Earth. The year is twelve months, four of which are sacred, three of them are in
succession, namely Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul Hijja and Muharram, (the fourth being) Rajab Mudar which is
between Juma'da (ath-thamj and Sha'ban. The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked, "Which month is this?" We said,
"Allah and his Apostle know better." He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it by a
name other than its real name. He said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul-Hijja?" We said, "Yes." He said,
"Which town is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He kept silent so long that we
thought that he would call it t,y a name other than its real name. He said, "isn't it the town (of
Mecca)?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "What day is today?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle know
better." He kept silent so long that we thought that he would call it by a name other than its real name.
He said, "Isn't it the day of Nahr?" We replied, "Yes." He then said, "Your blood, properties and honor
are as sacred to one another as this day of yours in this town of yours in this month of yours. You will
meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me by cutting
the necks of each other. It is incumbent upon those who are present to convey this message to those
who are absent, for some of those to whom it is conveyed may comprehend it better than some of
those who have heard it directly." (Muhammad, the sub-narrator, on mentioning this used to say: The
Prophet then said, "No doubt! Haven't I delivered (Allah's) Message (to you)? Haven't I delivered
Allah's message (to you)?"
