“I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a Bedouin came
to
him and said: ‘I have a brother who is sick.’ He said: ‘What is
the
matter with your brother?’ He said: ‘He suffers from a slight
mental
derangement.’ He said: ‘Go and bring him.’” He said:
“(So he went) and
he brought him. He made him sit down in front of
him and I heard him
seeking refuge for him with Fatihatil-Kitab; four
Verses from the
beginning of Al-Baqarah, two Verses from its middle:
‘And your Ilah
(God) is One Ilah (God – Allah),’ and
Ayat Al-Kursi; and three
Verses from its end; a Verse from Al ‘Imran,
I think it was: ‘Allah
bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none
has the right to be
worshipped but He),’ a Verse from
Al-A’raf: ‘Indeed, your Lord
is Allah,’ a Verse from
Al-Mu’minun: ‘And whoever invokes (or
worships), besides Allah,
any other ilah (god), of whom he has no
proof,’ a Verse
from Al-Jinn: ‘And He, exalted is the Majesty
of our Lord,’
ten Verses from the beginning of As-Saffat; three
Verses from
the end of Al-Hashr; (then) ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One,’
and Al-Mu’awwidhatain. Then the Bedouin stood up, healed,
and
there was nothing wrong with him.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 31, Hadith 114
During the ailment of the Prophet (ﷺ) some people came to visits him. He led them in prayer while sitting.
but they prayed standing, so he waved to them to sit down. When he had finished the prayer, he said,
"An Imam is to be followed, so when he bows, you should bow. and when he raises his head, you
should raise yours, and if he prays sitting. you should pray sitting." Abu `Abdullah said Al-Humaidi
said, (The order of ) "This narration has been abrogated by the last action of the Prophet (ﷺ) as he led the
prayer sitting, while the people prayed standing behind him.'
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 75, Hadith 18
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-
Zubayr that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, did not have to choose between two matters, but
that he chose the easier of them as long as it was not a wrong action.
If it was a wrong action, he was the furthest of people from it. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not
take revenge for himself unless the limits of Allah were violated.
Then he took revenge for it for Allah."
Muwatta Malik Book 47, Hadith 2
Ya`la used to say, "I wish I could see Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at the time he is being inspired Divinely." When
the Prophet (ﷺ) was at Al-Ja'rana and was shaded by a garment hanging over him and some of his
companions were with him, a man perfumed with scent came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What is
your opinion regarding a man who assumes Ihram and puts on a cloak after perfuming his body with
scent?" The Prophet (ﷺ) waited for a while, and then the Divine Inspiration descended upon him. `Umar
pointed out to Ya`la, telling him to come. Ya`la came and pushed his head (underneath the screen
which was covering the Prophet (ﷺ) ) and behold! The Prophet's face was red and he kept on breathing
heavily for a while and then he was relieved. Thereupon he said, "Where is the questioner who asked
me about `Umra a while ago?" The man was sought and then was brought before the Prophet (ﷺ) who said
(to him), "As regards the scent which you perfumed your body with, you must wash it off thrice, and
as for your cloak, you must take it off; and then perform in your `Umra all those things which you
perform in Hajj."
