the Messenger of Allah sent Abu Jahm bin Hudhaifah to collect Zakah and a man argued with him about his Sadaqah, so Abu Jahm struck him. They came to the prophet and he said: "Diyah, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "You will have such and such," but they did not accept it. The Messenger of Allah said: "You will have such and such," and they accepted it. The Messenger of Allah said: "I am going to address the people and tell them that you accepted it." They said: "Yes." So the Prophet addressed (the people) and said: "Those people came to me seeking compensation, and I offered them such as such, and they accepted." They said: "No." The Muhajirun wanted to attack them, but the Messenger of Allah ordered them to refrain, so they refrained. Then he called them and said: "Do you accept?" They said:" Yes." He said: "I and going to address the people and tell them that you accepted it." They said: "Yes." So the Prophet addressed (the people), then he said: "Do you accept?" They said: "Yes."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 45, Hadith 73
"When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) became seriously ill, Bilal came to tell him it was time to pray and he said: 'Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer."' She said: "I said: '0 Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Abu Bakr is a tender-hearted man, and when he stands in your place he will not be able to make the people
hear his voice; why don't you tell 'Umar (to do it)?' He said: 'Tell a Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer.' I said to Hafsah: 'Tell him.' So she told him. He said: 'You are (like) the female companions of Yosuf. Tell Abu Bakr lead the people in prayer."' She said: "So they told Abu Bakr. When he started to pray, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) began to feel better, so he got up and came with the help of two men, with his feet dragging along the ground. (When) he entered the Masjid, Abu
Bakr heard him coming and he wanted to step back, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gestured to him: 'Stay where you are.' Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and sat on Abu Bakr's left, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was leading the people in prayer sitting, and Abu Bakr was standing and following the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the people were following the prayer of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 10, Hadith 57
My grandfather, Rafi` said, "We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) at DhulHulaifa, and the people
suffered from hunger. We got some camels and sheep (as booty) and the Prophet (ﷺ) was still behind the
people. They hurried and put the cooking pots on the fire. (When he came) he ordered that the cooking
pots should be upset and then he distributed the booty (amongst the people) regarding ten sheep as
equal to one camel then a camel fled and the people chased it till they got tired, as they had a few
horses (for chasing it). So a man threw an arrow at it and caused it to stop (with Allah's Permission).
On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Some of these animals behave like wild beasts, so, if any animal flee from
you, deal with it in the same way." My grandfather asked (the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "We hope (or are afraid) that
we may meet the enemy tomorrow and we have no knives. Can we slaughter our animals with canes?"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "If the instrument used for killing causes the animal to bleed profusely and if
Allah's Name is mentioned on killing it, then eat its meat (i.e. it is lawful) but won't use a tooth or a
nail and I am telling you the reason: A tooth is a bone (and slaughtering with a bone is forbidden ),
and a nail is the slaughtering instrument of the Ethiopians."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 280
When Ibn Ziyad and Marwan were in Sham and Ibn Az-Zubair took over the authority in Mecca and
Qurra' (the Kharijites) revolted in Basra, I went out with my father to Abu Barza Al-Aslami till we
entered upon him in his house while he was sitting in the shade of a room built of cane. So we sat with
him and my father started talking to him saying, "O Abu Barza! Don't you see in what dilemma the
people has fallen?" The first thing heard him saying "I seek reward from Allah for myself because of
being angry and scornful at the Quraish tribe. O you Arabs! You know very well that you were in
misery and were few in number and misguided, and that Allah has brought you out of all that with
Islam and with Muhammad till He brought you to this state (of prosperity and happiness) which you
see now; and it is this worldly wealth and pleasures which has caused mischief to appear among you.
The one who is in Sham (i.e., Marwan), by Allah, is not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain:
and those who are among you, by Allah, are not fighting except for the sake of worldly gain; and that
one who is in Mecca (i.e., Ibn Az-Zubair) by Allah, is not fighting except for the sake of worldly
gain."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 92, Hadith 59
(the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to invoke Allah in the prayer saying "Allahumma inni
a`udhu bika min `adhabi l-qabr, wa a`udhu bika min fitnati l-masihi d-dajjal, wa a`udhu bika min
fitnati l-mahya wa fitnati l-mamat. Allahumma inni a`udhu bika mina l-ma'thami wa l-maghram. (O
Allah, I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, from the afflictions of the imposter-
Messiah, and from the afflictions of life and death. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from sins and
from debt)." Somebody said to him, "Why do you so frequently seek refuge with Allah from being in
debt?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "A person in debt tells lies whenever he speaks, and breaks promises
whenever he makes (them)." `Aisha also narrated: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in his prayer seeking refuge
with Allah from the afflictions of Ad-Dajjal.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 10, Hadith 226
`Abdullah bin Al-Fadl told me that Anas bin Malik said, "I was much grieve over those who had been
killed in the Battle of Al-Harra. When Zaid bin Arqarr heard of my intense grief (over the killed
Ansar), he wrote a letter to me saying that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, O Allah! Forgive the
Ansar and the Ansar children. The subnarrator, Ibn Al-Fadl, is not sure whether the Prophet (ﷺ) also said,
And their grand-children." Some of those who were present, asked Anas (about Zaid). He said, "He
(Zaid) is the one about whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'He is the one whose sound hearing Allah testified.'
