I was a young unmarried man during the lifetime of the Prophet. I used to sleep in the mosque.
Anyone who had a dream, would narrate it to the Prophet. I said, "O Allah! If there is any good for me
with You, then show me a dream so that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) may interpret it for me." So I slept and saw
(in a dream) two angels came to me and took me along with them, and they met another angel who
said to me, "Don't be afraid, you are a good man." They took me towards the Fire, and behold, it was
built inside like a well, and therein I saw people some of whom I recognized, and then the angels took
me to the right side. In the morning, I mentioned that dream to Hafsa. Hafsa told me that she had
mentioned it to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said, "`Abdullah is a righteous man if he only prays more at night."
(Az-Zuhri said, "After that, `Abdullah used to pray more at night.")
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 91, Hadith 46
The Prophet (ﷺ) was the best among the people (both in shape and
character) and was the most generous of them, and was the bravest of
them. Once, during the night, the people of Medina got afraid (of a
sound). So the people went towards that sound, but the Prophet (ﷺ) having
gone to that sound before them, met them while he was saying, "Don't
be afraid, don't be afraid." (At that time) he was riding a horse
belonging to Abu Talha and it was naked without a saddle, and he was
carrying a sword slung at his neck. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I found it (the
horse) like a sea, or, it is the sea indeed."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 63
`Ali bin Abu Talib came out of the house of the Prophet (ﷺ) during his fatal ailment. The people asked
(`Ali), "O Abu Hasan! How is the health of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) this morning?" `Ali said, "This morning
he is better, with the grace of Allah." Al-`Abbas held `Ali by the hand and said, "Don't you see him
(about to die)? By Allah, within three days you will be the slave of the stick (i.e., under the command
of another ruler). By Allah, I think that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) will die from his present ailment, for I know
the signs of death on the faces of the offspring of `Abdul Muttalib. So let us go to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to
ask him who will take over the Caliphate. If the authority is given to us, we will know it, and if it is
given to somebody else we will request him to recommend us to him. " `Ali said, "By Allah! If we ask
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for the rulership and he refuses, then the people will never give it to us. Besides, I will
never ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for it." (See Hadith No 728, Vol 5)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 79, Hadith 40
Malik related to me from Yaqub ibn Zayd ibn Talha from his father
Zayd ibn Talha that Abdullah ibn Abi Mulayka informed him that a woman
came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and informed him that she had committed adultery and was
pregnant. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said to her, "Go away until you give birth." When she had given
birth, she came to him. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said to her, "Go away until you have suckled and
weaned the baby." When she had weaned the baby, she came to him. He
said, "Go and entrust the baby to someone." She entrusted the baby to
someone and then came to him. He gave the order and she was stoned.
Muwatta Malik Book 41, Hadith 5
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to us while we were in a gathering, "Give me the oath (Pledge of allegiance for:
(1) Not to join anything in worship along with Allah, (2) Not to steal, (3) Not to commit illegal sexual
intercourse, (4) Not to kill your children, (5) Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an
accusation among people), (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deeds. The Prophet (ﷺ)
added: Whoever amongst you fulfill his pledge, his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits
any of those sins and receives the legal punishment in this world for that sin, then that punishment will
be an expiation for that sin, and whoever commits any of those sins and Allah does not expose him,
then it is up to Allah if He wishes He will punish him or if He wishes, He will forgive him." So we
gave the Pledge for that. (See Hadith No. 17, Vol. 1)
