While I as in the company of Salman bin Rabi`a and Suhan, in one of the holy battles, I found a whip.
One of them told me to drop it but I refused to do so and said that I would give it to its owner if I
found him, otherwise I would utilize it. On our return we performed Hajj and on passing by Medina, I
asked Ubai bin Ka`b about it. He said, "I found a bag containing a hundred Dinars in the lifetime of
the Prophet (ﷺ) and took it to the Prophet (ﷺ) who said to me, 'Make public announcement about it for one
year.' So, I announced it for one year and went to the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, 'Announce it publicly for
another year.' So, I announced it for another year. I went to him again and he said, "Announce for an
other year." So I announced for still another year. I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) for the fourth time, and he
said, 'Remember the amount of money, the description of its container and the string it is tied with,
and if the owner comes, give it to him; otherwise, utilize it.' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 45, Hadith 12
The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in the Zuhr prayer, offering only two rak`at and then (finished it) with Taslim, and
went to a piece of wood in front of the mosque and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and `Umar were
also present among the people on that day but dared not talk to him (about his unfinished prayer). And
the hasty people went away, wondering. "Has the prayer been shortened" Among the people there was
a man whom the Prophet (ﷺ) used to call Dhul-Yadain (the longarmed). He said, "O Allah's Prophet!
Have you forgotten or has the prayer been shortened?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Neither have I forgotten,
nor has it been shortened." They (the people) said, "Surely, you have forgotten, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Dhul-Yadain has told the truth." So the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and offered other two rak`at
and finished his prayer with Taslim. Then he said Takbir, performed a prostration of ordinary duration
or longer, then he raised his head and said Takbir and performed another prostration of ordinary
duration or longer and then raised his head and said Takbir (i.e. he performed the two prostrations of
Sahu, i.e., forgetfulness).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 81
We used to say in the prayer: 'AsSalam be on Allah, As-Salam be on so-and so.' So one day the
Prophet said to us, "Allah Himself is As-Salam; when anyone of you sits during his prayer, he should
say: 'at-tah, iyyatu-li l-lahi,' up to 'As-Salihin,' (All the compliments are for Allah ...righteous people)
for when he recites this, then he says his Salam to all the righteous people present in the heavens and
on the earth. Then he should say, 'I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and
that Muhammad is His slave and His Apostle,' and then he can select whatever he likes to celebrate
(Allah's) Praises."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 80, Hadith 25
Ibn `Abbas said, "Thursday! What (great thing) took place on Thursday!" Then he started weeping till
his tears wetted the gravels of the ground . Then he said, "On Thursday the illness of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
was aggravated and he said, "Fetch me writing materials so that I may have something written to you
after which you will never go astray." The people (present there) differed in this matter and people
should not differ before a prophet. They said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is seriously sick.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Let me alone, as the state in which I am now, is better than what you are calling me for." The Prophet (ﷺ)
on his death-bed, gave three orders saying, "Expel the pagans from the Arabian Peninsula, respect and
give gifts to the foreign delegates as you have seen me dealing with them." I forgot the third (order)"
(Ya'qub bin Muhammad said, "I asked Al-Mughira bin `Abdur-Rahman about the Arabian Peninsula
and he said, 'It comprises Mecca, Medina, Al-Yama-ma and Yemen." Ya'qub added, "And Al-Arj, the
beginning of Tihama.")
