It was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that I observe fast successively and pray during the whole night. He sent for me or I met him and he (the Holy Prophet) said: It has been conveyed to me that you observe fast continuously and do not break it and pray during the whole night. Don't do that. for there is share for your eyes, share for your own self, share for your family; so observe fast and break it, pray and sleep and observe fast for one day during the ten days, and there is a reward for you (for other) nine (days besides the tenth day of the fast). I said: Apostle of Allah, I find myself more powerful than this. He said: Then observe the fast of David (peace be upon him). He ('Amr) said: Apostle of Allah, how did David observe fast? He (the Holy Prophet) said: He used to fast one day and break it on the other day, and he did not run (from the battlefield) as he encountered (the enemy). He said: Apostle of Allah, who can guarantee this for me (will I also encounter the enemy dauntlessly)? 'Ata', the narrator of the hadith, said: I do not know how there (crept in) the matter of perpetual fast. The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ), however, said: He who observed perpetual fast did not fast at all; he who observed perpetual fast did not fast at all, he who observed perpetual fast did not fast at all.
Sahih Muslim Book 13, Hadith 240
I went on an expedition with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He overtook me and I was on a water-carrying camel who had grown tired and did not walk (trot). He (the Holy Prophet) said to me: What is the matter with your camel? I said: It is sick. He (the Holy Prophet) stepped behind and drove it and prayed for it, and then it always moved ahead of other camels. He (then) said: How do you find your camel? I said: It is, by the grace of your prayer, all right. He said: Would you sell this (camel) to me? I felt shy (to say him," No" ) as we had no other camel for carrying water, but (later on) I said: Yes, and to I sold it to him on the condition that (I would be permitted) to ride it until I reached Madina. I said to him: Allah's Messenger, I am newly married, so I asked his permission (to go ahead of the caravan). He permitted me, and I reached Medina well in advance of other people, until I reached my destination. There my maternal uncle met me and asked me about the camel, and I told him what I had done with regard to it. He reproved me in this connection. He (Jabir) said: When I asked his permission (to go ahead of the caravan) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) inquired of me whether I had married a virgin or a non-virgin. I said to him: I have married a non-virgin. He said: Why did you not marry a virgin who would have played with you and you would have played with her? I said to him: Allah's Messenger, my father died (or he fell as a martyr), and I have small sisters to (look after), so I did not like the idea that I should marry a woman who is like them and thus be not able to teach them manners and look after them properly. So I have married a non-virgin so that she should be able to look after them and teach them manners, When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Medina, I went to him in the morning with the camel. He paid me its price and returned that (the camel) to me.
Sahih Muslim Book 22, Hadith 139
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zubayr al-Makki from
Abu't-Tufayl Amir ibn Wathila that Muadh ibn Jabal told him that they
went out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, in the year of Tabuk, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, joined dhuhr with asr and maghrib with
isha. Muadh said, "One day he delayed the prayer, and then came out
and prayed dhuhr and asr together. Then he said, 'Tomorrow you will
come, insha' llah, to the spring of Tabuk. But you will not get there
until well into the morning. No one who arrives should touch any of
its water until I come.' We came to it and two men had got to it
before us and the spring was dripping with a little water. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked
them, 'Have you touched any of its water?' They said, 'Yes.' The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, reviled
them and said what Allah wished him to say. Then they took water with
their hands from the spring little by little until it had been
collected in something. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, washed his face and hands in it. Then he put
it back into the spring and the spring flowed with an abundance of
water and the people drew water from it. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If you live long enough,
Muadh, you will soon see this place filled with gardens.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 9, Hadith 2
I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) at one of the farms of Medina while he was leaning on a date palm leaf-stalk.
He passed by a group of Jews and some of them said to the other, Ask him (the Prophet) about the
spirit. Some others said, "Do not ask him, lest he should tell you what you dislike" But they went up
to him and said, "O Abal Qasim! Inform us bout the spirit." The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up for a while, waiting.
I realized that he was being Divinely Inspired, so I kept away from him till the inspiration was over.
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(O Muhammad) they ask you regarding the spirit, Say: The spirit its
knowledge is with my Lord (i.e., nobody has its knowledge except Allah)" (17.85) (This is a miracle
of the Quran that all the scientists up till now do not know about the spirit, i.e, how life comes to a
body and how it goes away at its death) (See Hadith No. 245, Vol. 6)
