A man of the Ansar came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and begged from him.
He (the Prophet) asked: Have you nothing in your house? He replied: Yes, a piece of cloth, a part of which we wear and a part of which we spread (on the ground), and a wooden bowl from which we drink water.
He said: Bring them to me. He then brought these articles to him and he (the Prophet) took them in his hands and asked: Who will buy these? A man said: I shall buy them for one dirham. He said twice or thrice: Who will offer more than one dirham? A man said: I shall buy them for two dirhams.
He gave these to him and took the two dirhams and, giving them to the Ansari, he said: Buy food with one of them and hand it to your family, and buy an axe and bring it to me. He then brought it to him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fixed a handle on it with his own hands and said: Go, gather firewood and sell it, and do not let me see you for a fortnight. The man went away and gathered firewood and sold it. When he had earned ten dirhams, he came to him and bought a garment with some of them and food with the others.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said: This is better for you than that begging should come as a spot on your face on the Day of Judgment. Begging is right only for three people: one who is in grinding poverty, one who is seriously in debt, or one who is responsible for compensation and finds it difficult to pay.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 9, Hadith 86
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood praying, and we heard him say: 'I seek refuge with Allah from you.' Then he said: 'I curse you with the curse of Allah (SWT),' three times and stretched out his hand as if to take something. When he finished praying we said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we heard you say something in your prayer that we have never heard you say before, and we saw you stretch out your hand.' He said: 'The enemy of Allah (SWT), Iblis, came with a brand of fire to throw it in my face, so I said: I seek refuge with Allah from you three times, then I wanted to take hold of him. By Allah (SWT), were it not for the prayer of our brother Sulaiman, he would have been tied up this morning for the children of Al-Madinah to play with him.'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 13, Hadith 37
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught me, saying: ‘Say: “O Allah, this is the coming of Your night, and the departing of Your day, the voices of those calling to You, and the time of prayers to You, I ask You to forgive me (Allāhumma hādhastiqbālu lailika, wastidbāru nahārika, wa aṣwātu du`ātika wa ḥuḍūru ṣalawātika, as’aluka an taghfira lī).”
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 48, Hadith 220
It was the custom among the companions of Muhammad that if any of them was fasting and the food
was presented (for breaking his fast), but he slept before eating, he would not eat that night and the
following day till sunset.
Qais bin Sirma-al-Ansari was fasting and came to his wife at the time of Iftar (breaking one's fast) and
asked her whether she had anything to eat. She replied, "No, but I would go and bring some for you."
He used to do hard work during the day, so he was overwhelmed by sleep and slept. When his wife
came and saw him, she said, "Disappointment for you." When it was midday on the following day, he
fainted and the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed about the whole matter and the following verses were revealed:
"You are permitted To go to your wives (for sexual relation) At the night of fasting." So, they were
overjoyed by it. And then Allah also revealed: "And eat and drink Until the white thread Of dawn
appears to you Distinct from the black thread (of the night)." (2.187)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 30, Hadith 25
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent some men from the Ansar to ((kill) Abu Rafi`, the Jew, and appointed `Abdullah
bin Atik as their leader. Abu Rafi` used to hurt Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and help his enemies against him. He
lived in his castle in the land of Hijaz. When those men approached (the castle) after the sun had set
and the people had brought back their livestock to their homes. `Abdullah (bin Atik) said to his
companions, "Sit down at your places. I am going, and I will try to play a trick on the gate-keeper so
that I may enter (the castle)."
So `Abdullah proceeded towards the castle, and when he approached the gate, he covered himself with
his clothes, pretending to answer the call of nature. The people had gone in, and the gate-keeper
(considered `Abdullah as one of the castle's servants) addressing him saying, "O Allah's Servant!
Enter if you wish, for I want to close the gate." `Abdullah added in his story, "So I went in (the castle)
and hid myself. When the people got inside, the gate-keeper closed the gate and hung the keys on a
fixed wooden peg. I got up and took the keys and opened the gate. Some people were staying late at
night with Abu Rafi` for a pleasant night chat in a room of his. When his companions of nightly
entertainment went away, I ascended to him, and whenever I opened a door, I closed it from inside. I
said to myself, 'Should these people discover my presence, they will not be able to catch me till I have
killed him.'
So I reached him and found him sleeping in a dark house amidst his family, I could not recognize his
location in the house. So I shouted, 'O Abu Rafi`!' Abu Rafi` said, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the
source of the voice and hit him with the sword, and because of my perplexity, I could not kill him. He
cried loudly, and I came out of the house and waited for a while, and then went to him again and said,
'What is this voice, O Abu Rafi`?' He said, 'Woe to your mother! A man in my house has hit me with a
sword! I again hit him severely but I did not kill him. Then I drove the point of the sword into his
belly (and pressed it through) till it touched his back, and I realized that I have killed him.
I then opened the doors one by one till I reached the staircase, and thinking that I had reached the
ground, I stepped out and fell down and got my leg broken in a moonlit night. I tied my leg with a
turban and proceeded on till I sat at the gate, and said, 'I will not go out tonight till I know that I have
killed him.' So, when (early in the morning) the cock crowed, the announcer of the casualty stood on
the wall saying, 'I announce the death of Abu Rafi`, the merchant of Hijaz. Thereupon I went to my
companions and said, 'Let us save ourselves, for Allah has killed Abu Rafi`,' So I (along with my
companions proceeded and) went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and described the whole story to him. "He said,
'Stretch out your (broken) leg. I stretched it out and he rubbed it and it became All right as if I had
never had any ailment whatsoever."
