that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "The Divine Inspiration was delayed for a short period but suddenly,
as I was walking. I heard a voice in the sky, and when I looked up towards the sky, to my surprise, I
saw the angel who had come to me in the Hira Cave, and he was sitting on a chair in between the sky
and the earth. I was so frightened by him that I fell on the ground and came to my family and said (to
them), 'Cover me! (with a blanket), cover me!' Then Allah sent the Revelation: "O, You wrapped up
(In a blanket)! (Arise and warn! And your Lord magnify And keep pure your garments, And desert the
idols." (74.1-5)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 59, Hadith 49
When the Verse:--'And warn your tribe of near-kindred, was revealed, the Prophet (ﷺ) ascended the Safa
(mountain) and started calling, "O Bani Fihr! O Bani `Adi!" addressing various tribes of Quraish till
they were assembled. Those who could not come themselves, sent their messengers to see what was
there. Abu Lahab and other people from Quraish came and the Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Suppose I told you
that there is an (enemy) cavalry in the valley intending to attack you, would you believe me?" They
said, "Yes, for we have not found you telling anything other than the truth." He then said, "I am a
warner to you in face of a terrific punishment." Abu Lahab said (to the Prophet) "May your hands
perish all this day. Is it for this purpose you have gathered us?" Then it was revealed: "Perish the
hands of Abu Lahab (one of the Prophet's uncles), and perish he! His wealth and his children will not
profit him...." (111.1-5)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 292
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) met Az-Zubair in a caravan of Muslim merchants who were returning from Sham. Az-Zubair provided Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr with white clothes to wear. When the Muslims of Medina heard the news of the departure of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from Mecca (towards Medina), they started going to the Harra every morning . They would wait for him till the heat of the noon forced them to return. One day, after waiting for a long while, they returned home, and when they went into their houses, a Jew climbed up the roof of one of the forts of his people to look for some thing, and he saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions dressed in white clothes, emerging out of the desert mirage. The Jew could not help shouting at the top of his voice, "O you 'Arabs! Here is your great man whom you have been waiting for!" So all the Muslims rushed to their arms and received Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the summit of Harra. The Prophet (ﷺ) turned with them to the right and alighted at the quarters of Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf, and this was on Monday in the month of Rabi-ul-Awal. Abu Bakr stood up, receiving the people while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sat down and kept silent. Some of the Ansar who came and had not seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) before, began greeting Abu Bakr, but when the sunshine fell on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr came forward and shaded him with his sheet only then the people came to know Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stayed with Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf for ten nights and established the mosque (mosque of Quba) which was founded on piety. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed in it and then mounted his she-camel and proceeded on, accompanied by the people till his she-camel knelt down at (the place of) the Mosque of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at Medina. Some Muslims used to pray there in those days, and that place was a yard for drying dates belonging to Suhail and Sahl, the orphan boys who were under the guardianship of 'Asad bin Zurara. When his she-camel knelt down, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "This place, Allah willing, will be our abiding place." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then called the two boys and told them to suggest a price for that yard so that he might take it as a mosque. The two boys said, "No, but we will give it as a gift, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then built a mosque there. The Prophet (ﷺ) himself started carrying unburnt bricks for its building and while doing so, he was saying "This load is better than the load of Khaibar, for it is more pious in the Sight of Allah and purer and better rewardable." He was also saying, "O Allah! The actual reward is the reward in the Hereafter, so bestow Your Mercy on the Ansar and the Emigrants." Thus the Prophet (ﷺ) recited (by way of proverb) the poem of some Muslim poet whose name is unknown to me.
(Ibn Shibab said, "In the Hadiths it does not occur that Allah's Apostle
recited a complete poetic verse other than this one.")
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 63, Hadith 131
that `Umar bin Nafi` told him that Nafi`, Maula `Abdullah had heard `Umar saying, "I heard Allah's
Apostle forbidding Al-Qaza'." 'Ubaidullah added: I said, "What is Al-Qaza'?" 'Ubaidullah pointed
(towards his head) to show us and added, "Nafi` said, 'It is when a boy has his head shaved leaving a
tuft of hair here and a tuft of hair there." Ubaidullah pointed towards his forehead and the sides of his
head. 'Ubaidullah was asked, "Does this apply to both girls and boys?" He said, "I don't know, but
Nafi` said, 'The boy.'" 'Ubaidullah added, "I asked Nafi` again, and he said, 'As for leaving hair on
the temples and the back part of the boy's head, there is no harm, but Al-Qaza' is to leave a tuft of hair
on his forehead unshaved while there is no hair on the rest of his head, and also to leave hair on either
side of his head.'"
