“I was with the Prophet (ﷺ),
and
a man came to him and said: ‘Last night while I was sleeping, I
saw
that I was praying towards the base of a tree. I recited (an Ayah
of)
prostration and prostrated, and the tree prostrated when I did,
and I
heard it saying: Allahummah-tut anni biha wizran, waktub li biha
ajran, waj’al-ha li ‘indaka dhukhran (O Allah, reduce my burden
of sin
thereby, reward me for it and store it for me with You).’
Ibn ‘Abbas
said: “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) recite (an Ayah of)
prostration and
then prostrate, and I heard him saying in his
prostration something
like that which the man had told him the tree
said.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 251
`Aisha said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "O Aisha! Were your nation not close to the Pre-Islamic
Period of Ignorance, I would have had the Ka`ba demolished and would have included in it the portion
which had been left, and would have made it at a level with the ground and would have made two
doors for it, one towards the east and the other towards the west, and then by doing this it would have
been built on the foundations laid by Abraham." That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair to demolish the
Ka`ba. Jazz said, "I saw Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka`ba and included in it a
portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka`ba which is at present in the form of a compound
towards the northwest of the Ka`ba). I saw the original foundations of Abraham which were of stones
resembling the humps of camels." So Jarir asked Yazid, "Where was the place of those stones?" Jazz
said, "I will just now show it to you." So Jarir accompanied Yazid and entered Al-Hijr, and Jazz
pointed to a place and said, "Here it is." Jarir said, "It appeared to me about six cubits from Al-Hijr or
so."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 25, Hadith 72
There was a dispute amongst the people of the tribe of Bani `Amr bin `Auf. The Prophet (ﷺ) went to them
along with some of his companions in order to make peace between them. The time for the prayer
became due but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not turn up; Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e. call) for the prayer but
the Prophet (ﷺ) did not turn up, so Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said, "The time for the prayer is due and
the Prophet (ﷺ) i detained, would you lead the people in the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes, you wish."
So, Bilal pronounced the Iqama of the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead (to lead the prayer), but the
Prophet came walking among the rows till he joined the first row. The people started clapping and
they clapped too much, and Abu Bakr used not to look hither and thither in the prayer, but he turned
round and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing behind him. The Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned him with his hand to keep on
praying where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hand and praised Allah and then retreated till he came in
the (first) row, and the Prophet (ﷺ) went ahead and lead the people in the prayer. When the Prophet (ﷺ)
finished the prayer, he turned towards the people and said, "O people! When something happens to
you during the prayer, you start clapping. Really clapping is (permissible) for women only. If
something happens to one of you in his prayer, he should say: 'Subhan Allah', (Glorified be Allah), for
whoever hears him (saying so) will direct his attention towards him. O Abu Bakr! What prevented you
from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned to you (to continue)?" Abu Bakr replied, "It
did not befit the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front of the Prophet.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 53, Hadith 1
We poured medicine in one side of the Prophet's mouth during his illness and he started pointing to us,
meaning to say, "Don't pour medicine in my mouth." We said, "(He says so) because a patient dislikes
medicines." When he improved and felt a little better, he said, "Didn't I forbid you to pour medicine in
my mouth ?" We said, " ( We thought it was because of) the dislike, patients have for medicines. He
said, "Let everyone present in the house be given medicine by pouring it in his mouth while I am
looking at him, except `Abbas as he has not witnessed you (doing the same to me).
