Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Whomever Allah protects from the evil of two things will enter the
Garden." A man said, "Messenger of Allah, do not tell us!" The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
silent. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, repeated what he had said the first time. The man said to him,
"Do not tell us, Messenger of Allah!" The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, was silent. Then the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said the same thing
again. The man said, "Do not tell us, Messenger of Allah!" Then the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said the
same thing again. Then the man began to say what he had said
previously and a man at his side silenced him. The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whomever Allah
protects from the evil of two things will enter the Garden. They are
what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, what is between
his jaws and what is between his legs, what is between his jaws and
what is between his legs."
Muwatta Malik Book 56, Hadith 11
There was some quarrel (sighting) among Bani `Amr, and when this news reached the Prophet, he
offered the Zuhr prayer and went to establish peace among them. In the meantime the time of `Asr
prayer was due, Bilal pronounced the Adhan and then the Iqama for the prayer and requested Abu
Bakr (to lead the prayer) and Abu Bakr went forward. The Prophet (ﷺ) arrived while Abu Bakr was still
praying. He entered the rows of praying people till he stood behind Abu Bakr in the (first) row. The
people started clapping, and it was the habit of Abu Bakr that whenever he stood for prayer, he never
glanced side-ways till he had finished it, but when Abu Bakr observed that the clapping was not
coming to an end, he looked and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing behind him.
The Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned him to carry on by waving his hand. Abu Bakr stood there for a while, thanking
Allah for the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) and then he retreated, taking his steps backwards. When the
Prophet saw that, he went ahead and led the people in prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said, "O
Abu Bakr! What prevented you from carrying on with the prayer after I beckoned you to do so?" Abu
Bakr replied, "It does not befit the son of Abi Quhafa to lead the Prophet (ﷺ) in prayer." Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
said to the people, "If some problem arises during prayers, then the men should say, Subhan Allah!;
and the women should clap." (See Hadith No. 652, Vol. 1)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 93, Hadith 52
There was a Jew in Medina who used to lend me money up to the season of plucking dates. (Jabir had
a piece of land which was on the way to Ruma). That year the land was not promising, so the payment
of the debt was delayed one year. The Jew came to me at the time of plucking, but gathered nothing
from my land. I asked him to give me one year respite, but he refused. This news reached the Prophet (ﷺ)
whereupon he said to his companions, "Let us go and ask the Jew for respite for Jabir." All of them
came to me in my garden, and the Prophet (ﷺ) started speaking to the Jew, but he Jew said, "O Abu
Qasim! I will not grant him respite." When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw the Jew's attitude, he stood up and walked
all around the garden and came again and talked to the Jew, but the Jew refused his request. I got up
and brought some ripe fresh dates and put it in front of the Prophet. He ate and then said to me,
"Where is your hut, O Jabir?" I informed him, and he said, "Spread out a bed for me in it." I spread
out a bed, and he entered and slept. When he woke up, I brought some dates to him again and he ate of
it and then got up and talked to the Jew again, but the Jew again refused his request. Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
got up for the second time amidst the palm trees loaded with fresh dates, and said, "O Jabir! Pluck
dates to repay your debt." The Jew remained with me while I was plucking the dates, till I paid him all
his right, yet there remained extra quantity of dates. So I went out and proceeded till I reached the
Prophet and informed him of the good news, whereupon he said, "I testify that I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)."
