There was some quarrel (sighting) among Bani `Amr, and when this news reached the Prophet, he
offered the Zuhr prayer and went to establish peace among them. In the meantime the time of `Asr
prayer was due, Bilal pronounced the Adhan and then the Iqama for the prayer and requested Abu
Bakr (to lead the prayer) and Abu Bakr went forward. The Prophet (ﷺ) arrived while Abu Bakr was still
praying. He entered the rows of praying people till he stood behind Abu Bakr in the (first) row. The
people started clapping, and it was the habit of Abu Bakr that whenever he stood for prayer, he never
glanced side-ways till he had finished it, but when Abu Bakr observed that the clapping was not
coming to an end, he looked and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing behind him.
The Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned him to carry on by waving his hand. Abu Bakr stood there for a while, thanking
Allah for the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) and then he retreated, taking his steps backwards. When the
Prophet saw that, he went ahead and led the people in prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said, "O
Abu Bakr! What prevented you from carrying on with the prayer after I beckoned you to do so?" Abu
Bakr replied, "It does not befit the son of Abi Quhafa to lead the Prophet (ﷺ) in prayer." Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
said to the people, "If some problem arises during prayers, then the men should say, Subhan Allah!;
and the women should clap." (See Hadith No. 652, Vol. 1)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 93, Hadith 52
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out for one of his expeditions, then when he came back, a black slave girl came to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! I took an oath that if Allah returned you safely, I would beat the Duff before you and sing.' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to her: 'If you have taken an oath, then beat it, and if you have not then do not.' So she started to beat the Duff, and Abu Bakr entered while she was beating it. Then 'Ali entered while she was beating it, then 'Uthman entered while she was beating it. Then 'Umar entered, so she put the Duff under her, and sat upon it. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Indeed Ash-Shaitan is afraid of you O 'Umar! I was sitting while she beat it, and then Abu Bakr entered while she was beating it, then 'Ali entered while she was beating it, then 'Uthman entered while she was beating it, then when you entered O 'Umar and she put away the Duff.'
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 49, Hadith 86
In the year of Hajjat-ul-Wada` the Prophet (ﷺ) visited me when I fell ill and was about to die because of
that illness. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I am very ill as you see, and I am a rich man and have no heir
except my only daughter. Shall I give 2/3 of my property in charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I
then give one half of it in charity?" He said, "O Sa`d! Give 1/3 (in charity) and even 1/3 is too much.
No doubt, it is better to leave your children rich than to leave them poor, reduced to begging from
others. And Allah will reward you for whatever you spend with the intention of gaining Allah's
Pleasure even if it were a mouthful of food you put into your wives mouth." I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Am I to be left behind (in Mecca) after my companions have gone?" He said, "If you should
be left behind, you will be upgraded and elevated for every deed you will do with a desire to achieve
Allah's Pleasure. I hope that you will live long so that some people will benefit by you while others
will be harmed. O Allah! Please fulfill the migration of my companions and do not make them turn
back on their heels. But (we feel sorry for) the unlucky Sa`d bin Khaulah." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) lamented
his death in Mecca.
