I heard Hisham bin Hakim reciting Surat-al-Furqan during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I listened to
his recitation and noticed that he was reciting in a way that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not taught me. I was
about to jump over him while He was still in prayer, but I waited patiently and when he finished his
prayer, I put my sheet round his neck (and pulled him) and said, "Who has taught you this Sura which
I have heard you reciting?" Hisham said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) taught it to me." I said, "You are telling a
lie, for he taught it to me in a way different from the way you have recited it!" Then I started leading
(dragged) him to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said (to the Prophet), " I have heard this man reciting Surat-al-
Furqan in a way that you have not taught me." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "(O `Umar) release him! Recite, O
Hisham." Hisham recited in the way I heard him reciting. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "It was revealed like
this." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Recite, O `Umar!" I recited in the way he had taught me, whereupon
he said, "It was revealed like this," and added, "The Quran has been revealed to be recited in seven
different ways, so recite of it whichever is easy for you ." (See Hadith No. 514, Vol. 6)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 97, Hadith 175
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr ibn Amr
ibn Hazm from his father from Abu'n-Nadr as-Salami that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If three of
a muslim's children die, and he remains content with that, they will
be a protection for him from the Fire." A woman who was with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Or
two, Messengerof Allah?", and he said, "Or two."
Muwatta Malik Book 16, Hadith 40
We paid a visit to Khabbab who was sick, and he said, "We migrated with the Prophet (ﷺ) for Allah's
Sake and our wages became due on Allah. Some of us died without having received anything of the
wages, and one of them was Mus`ab bin `Umar, who was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud,
leaving only one sheet (to shroud him in). If we covered his head with it, his feet became uncovered,
and if we covered his feet with it, his head became uncovered. So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to cover his
head with it and put some Idhkhir (a kind of grass) over his feet. On the other hand, some of us have
had the fruits (of our good deed) and are plucking them (in this world).
