When Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) married Zainab bint jahsh, he invited people (to the wedding feast) and they ate food. They then sat there and entered into conversation. He (the Holy Prophet) made a stir as if he was preparing to stand up, but (the persons busy in talking) did not stand up. When he (the Holy Prophet) saw it, he stood up and when he did so, some other persons stood up. 'Asim and Abd al-A'la in their narrations made this addition: Three (persons) sat there, and Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) came there to enter (the apartment) but he found the people sitting there. Then they stood up and went away. He said: Then I came and informed Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) that they had gone away. He (the Holy Prophet) then came there until he entered (the apartment). I also went and was about to enter, when he hung a curtain between me and him (and it was on this occasion that) Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, revealed this verse:" O you who believe, enter not the houses of the Prophet unless permission is given to you for a meal, not waiting for its cooking being finished to the (words)" Surely this is serious in the sight of Allah" (xxxiii. 53).
Sahih Muslim Book 16, Hadith 108
“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray facing the trunk of a date-
palm
tree when the mosque was still a hut, and he used to deliver the
sermon leaning on that trunk. A man from among his Companions said:
‘Would you like us to make you something upon which you can stand
on
Fridays so that the people will be able to see you and hear your
sermon?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ So he made three steps for him, as a
pulpit.
When they put the pulpit in place, they put it in the place
where it
stands now. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wanted to
stand on the
pulpit, he passed by the tree trunk from which he used
to deliver the
sermon, and when he went beyond the trunk, it moaned
and split and
cracked. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came down when he
heard the
voice of the trunk, and rubbed it with his hand until it
fell silent.
Then he went back to the pulpit and when he prayed, he
prayed facing
it. When the mosque was knocked down (for renovation)
and (the
pillars, etc.) were changed, Ubayy bin Ka’b took that
trunk and kept
it in his house until it became very old and the
termites consumed it
and it became grains of dust.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 612
Yahya related to me from Malik from Said ibn Abi Said al-Maqburi
that Ubayd ibn Jurayj once said to Abdullah ibn Umar, "Abu Abd ar-
Rahman, I have seen you doing four things which I have never seen any
of your companions doing." He said, "What are they, Ibn Jurayj?" and
he replied, "I have seen you touching only the twoYamani corners, I
have seen you wearing hairless sandals, I have seen you using yellow
dye, and, when you were at Makka and everybody had started doing
talbiya after seeing the new moon, I saw that you did not do so until
the eighth of Dhu'l-Hijja."
Abdullah ibn Umar replied, "As
for the corners, I only ever saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, touching the two Yamani corners. As for
the sandals, I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, wearing hairless sandals and doing wudu in them, and
I like wearing them. As for using yellow dye, I saw the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, using it, and I also
like to use it for dyeing things with. As for doing talbiya, I never
saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
begin doing so until he had set out on the animal he was riding on
(i.e. for Mina and Arafa)."
