"We set out as pilgrims and came to Al-Madinah intending to perform Hajj. While we were in our camping place unloading our mounts, someone came to us and said: 'The people have gathered in the Masjid and there is panis.' So we set out and found the people gathered around a group in the middle of the Masjid, among whom were 'Ali, Zubayr, Talhah and Sa'd bin Abi Waqas. While we were like that, 'Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, came, wearing a yellow cloak with which he had covered his head. He said: 'Is Talhah here? Is Az-Zubair here? Is Sa'd here?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I adjure you be the One beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, din't the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Whoever buys the Mirbad of Banu so-and so, Allah will forgive him, and I bought it for twenty or twenty-five thousand, then I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him, and he said: Add it to our Masjid and the reward for it will be yours?' They said: 'By Allah, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by the One beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, didn't the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Whoever buys the well of Rumah, Allah will forgive him, so I bought it for such and such and amount, then I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and told him, and he said: Give it to provide water for the Muslims, and the reward for it will be yours?' They said: 'By Allah, yes.' He said: 'I adjure you by the One beside Whom there is none worthy of worship, didn't the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Whoever equips these (men)- meaning the army of Al-'Usrah (Tabuk) - Allah will forgive him, so I equipped them until they were not lacking even a rope or a bridle?' They said: 'By Allah, yes.' He said: 'O Allah, bear witness, O Allah, bear witness, O Allah, bear witness.'"
Mirbad: A place for drying dates.
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 25, Hadith 98
`Umar set out along with the Prophet (p.b.u.h) with a group of people to Ibn Saiyad till they saw him
playing with the boys near the hillocks of Bani Mughala. Ibn Saiyad at that time was nearing his
puberty and did not notice (us) until the Prophet (ﷺ) stroked him with his hand and said to him, "Do you
testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" Ibn Saiyad looked at him and said, "I testify that you are the
Messenger of illiterates." Then Ibn Saiyad asked the Prophet (p.b.u.h), "Do you testify that I am
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The Prophet (p.b.u.h) refuted it and said, "I believe in Allah and His Apostles."
Then he said (to Ibn Saiyad), "What do you think?" Ibn Saiyad answered, "True people and liars visit
me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You have been confused as to this matter." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "I
have kept something (in my mind) for you, (can you tell me that?)" Ibn Saiyad said, "It is Al-Dukh
(the smoke)." (2) The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let you be in ignominy. You cannot cross your limits." On that
`Umar, said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allow me to chop his head off." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "If he is
he (i.e. Dajjal), then you cannot overpower him, and if he is not, then there is no use of murdering
him." (Ibn `Umar added): Later on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) once again went along with Ubai bin
Ka`b to the date-palm trees (garden) where Ibn Saiyad was staying. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) wanted to
hear something from Ibn Saiyad before Ibn Saiyad could see him, and the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saw him
lying covered with a sheet and from where his murmurs were heard. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw Allah's
Apostle while he was hiding himself behind the trunks of the date-palm trees. She addressed Ibn
Saiyad, "O Saf ! (and this was the name of Ibn Saiyad) Here is Muhammad." And with that Ibn Saiyad
got up. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Had this woman left him (Had she not disturbed him), then Ibn Saiyad
would have revealed the reality of his case.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 23, Hadith 108
He who loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him. I ('A'isha) said: Allah's Apostle, so far as the feeling of aversion against death is concerned, we all have this feeling. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is not that (which you construe), but (this) that when a believer (at the time of death) is given the glad tidings of the mercy of Allah, His Pleasure, and of Paradise, he loves to meet Allah, and Allah also loves to meet him, and when an unbeliever is given the news of the torment at the Hand of Allah, and Hardship to be imposed by Him, he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah also abhors to meet him.
Sahih Muslim Book 48, Hadith 18
“When you go to your bed, perform the Wudu’ as you would perform for Salat. Then lie on your right side, then say: ‘O Allah, I submit my face to You, and I entrust my affair to You, and I lay myself down relying upon You, hoping in You and fearing You. There is no refuge nor escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You have sent (Allāhumma aslamtu wajhī ilaika wa fawwaḍtu amrī ilaika, wa alja’tu ẓahrī ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika, lā malja’a wa lā manjā minka illā ilaika, āmantu bikitābikalladhī anzalta wa bi-nabiyykalladhī arsalt).’ And if you die that night, you shall die upon the Fitrah” - Al-Bara’ said: I repeated it to retain it in memory, “So I said: ‘I believe in Your Messenger whom You have sent.’” He said: “So he (ﷺ) struck with his hand upon my chest, then said: ‘And in Your Prophet whom You have sent.’”
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 48, Hadith 205
I fell sick and the Prophet (ﷺ) paid me a visit. I said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I invoke Allah that He
may not let me expire in the land whence I migrated (i.e. Mecca)." He said, "May Allah give you
health and let the people benefit by you." I said, "I want to will my property, and I have only one
daughter and I want to will half of my property (to be given in charity)." He said," Half is too much." I
said, "Then I will one third." He said, "One-third, yet even one-third is too much." (The narrator
added, "So the people started to will one third of their property and that was Permitted for them.")
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 55, Hadith 7
Abu Talha had the largest number of datepalms from amongst the Ansars of Medina. The dearest of
his property to him was Bairuha garden which was facing the (Prophet's) Mosque. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
used to enter it and drink of its good fresh water. When the Holy Verse:-- 'By no means shall you
attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) of that which you love.' (3.92) was revealed, Abu
Talha got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allah says: By no means shall you attain righteousness
unless you spend of that which you love,' and the dearest of my property to me is the Bairuha garden
and I want to give it in charity in Allah's Cause, seeking to be rewarded by Allah for that. So you can
spend it, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), where-ever Allah instructs you. ' Allah s Apostle said, "Good! That is a
perishable (or profitable) wealth" (`Abdullah is in doubt as to which word was used.) He said, "I have
heard what you have said but in my opinion you'd better give it to your kith and kin." On that Abu
Talha said, "I will do so, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Abu Talha distributed that garden among his kith and kin
and cousins.
