We were at a place which was a thoroughfare for the people, and the caravans used to pass by us and
we would ask them, "What is wrong with the people? What is wrong with the people? Who is that
man?. They would say, "That man claims that Allah has sent him (as an Apostle), that he has been
divinely inspired, that Allah has revealed to him such-and-such." I used to memorize that (Divine)
Talk, and feel as if it was inculcated in my chest (i.e. mind) And the 'Arabs (other than Quraish)
delayed their conversion to Islam till the Conquest (of Mecca). They used to say." "Leave him (i.e.
Muhammad) and his people Quraish: if he overpowers them then he is a true Prophet. So, when
Mecca was conquered, then every tribe rushed to embrace Islam, and my father hurried to embrace
Islam before (the other members of) my tribe. When my father returned (from the Prophet) to his
tribe, he said, "By Allah, I have come to you from the Prophet (ﷺ) for sure!" The Prophet (ﷺ) afterwards said
to them, 'Offer such-and-such prayer at such-and-such time, and when the time for the prayer becomes
due, then one of you should pronounce the Adhan (for the prayer), and let the one amongst you who
knows Quran most should, lead the prayer." So they looked for such a person and found none who
knew more Quran than I because of the Quranic material which I used to learn from the caravans.
They therefore made me their Imam ((to lead the prayer) and at that time I was a boy of six or seven
years, wearing a Burda (i.e. a black square garment) proved to be very short for me (and my body
became partly naked). A lady from the tribe said, "Won't you cover the anus of your reciter for us?"
So they bought (a piece of cloth) and made a shirt for me. I had never been so happy with anything
before as I was with that shirt.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 335
"I have not seen anyone closer in conduct, way, and manners to that of the Messenger of Allah in regards to standing and sitting, than Fatimah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)." She said "Whenever she would enter upon the Prophet (ﷺ) he would stand to her and kiss her, and he would sit her in his sitting place. Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon her she would stand from her seat, and kiss him and sit him in her sitting place. So when the Prophet (ﷺ) fell sick and Fatimah entered, she bent over and kissed him. Then she lifted her head and cried, then she bent over him and she lifted her head and laughed. So I said: 'I used to think that this one was from the most intelligent of our women, but she is really just one of the women.' So when the Prophet (ﷺ) died, I said to her: 'Do you remember when you bent over the Prophet (ﷺ) and you lifted your head and cried, then you bent over him, then you lifted your head and laughed. What caused you to do that?' She said: 'Then, I would be the one who spreads the secrets. He (ﷺ) told me that he was to die from his illness, so I cried. Then he told me that I would be the quickest of his family to meet up with him. So that is when I laughed.'"
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 49, Hadith 272
I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) along with a group of Al-Ash`ariyin in order to request him to provide us with
mounts. He said, "By Allah, I will not provide you with mounts and I haven't got anything to mount
you on." Then we stayed there as long as Allah wished us to stay, and then three very nice looking
she-camels were brought to him and he made us ride them. When we left, we, or some of us, said, "By
Allah, we will not be blessed, as we came to the Prophet (ﷺ) asking him for mounts, and he swore that he
would not give us any mounts but then he did give us. So let us go back to the Prophet (ﷺ) and remind
him (of his oath)." When we returned to him (and reminded him of the fact), he said, "I did not give
you mounts, but it is Allah Who gave you. By Allah, Allah willing, if I ever take an oath to do
something and then I find something else than the first, I will make expiation for my oath and do the
thing which is better (or do something which is better and give the expiation for my oath).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 83, Hadith 3
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard some of the
people of knowledge say, "If someone goes into ihram to do umra and
then wants to go into ihram to do hajj as well, he can do so, as long
as he has not done tawaf of the House and s'ay between Safa and Marwa.
This is what Abdullah ibn 'Umar did when he said, 'If I am blocked
from the House we shall do what we did when we were with the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.' He then turned to
his companions and said, 'It is the same either way. I call you to
witness that I have decided in favour of hajj and umra together. ' "
Malik said, "The companions of the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, went into ihram to do umra in the
year of the farewell hajj, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said to them, 'Anyone that has a sacrificial
animal with him should go into ihram to do hajj and umra together, and
he should not come out of ihram until he has finished both.' "
