The Quraysh sent me to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and when I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Islam was cast into my heart, so I said: Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I shall never return to them. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied: I do not break a covenant or imprison messengers, but return, and if you feel the same as you do just now, come back. So I went away, and then came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and accepted Islam.
The narrator Bukair said: He informed me that Abu Rafi' was a Copt.
Abu Dawud said: This was valid in those days, but today it is not valid.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 15, Hadith 282
While we were returning from a Ghazwa (Holy Battle) with the Prophet, I started driving my camel
fast, as it was a lazy camel A rider came behind me and pricked my camel with a spear he had with
him, and then my camel started running as fast as the best camel you may see. Behold! The rider was
the Prophet (ﷺ) himself. He said, 'What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, I am newly married " He
said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron? I replied, "A matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a
young girl so that you may play with her and she with you?" When we were about to enter (Medina),
the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Wait so that you may enter (Medina) at night so that the lady of unkempt hair may
comb her hair and the one whose husband has been absent may shave her pubic region.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 67, Hadith 17
Abu Bakr came riding his horse from his dwelling place in As-Sunh. He got down from it, entered the
Mosque and did not speak with anybody till he came to me and went direct to the Prophet, who was
covered with a marked blanket. Abu Bakr uncovered his face. He knelt down and kissed him and then
started weeping and said, "My father and my mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Prophet! Allah
will not combine two deaths on you. You have died the death which was written for you."
Narrated Abu Salama from Ibn `Abbas : Abu Bakr came out and `Umar , was addressing the people,
and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but `Umar refused. Abu Bakr again told him to sit down but `Umar
again refused. Then Abu Bakr recited the Tashah-hud (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) and the people attended to Abu Bakr and left `Umar. Abu
Bakr said, "Amma ba'du, whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead,
but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die. Allah said: 'Muhammad is no more
than an Apostle and indeed (many) Apostles have passed away before him ..(up to the) grateful.' "
(3.144) (The narrator added, "By Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this
verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and then whoever heard it, started reciting it.")
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 23, Hadith 5
(the wife of the Prophet) `Utba bin Abi Waqqas said to his brother Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas, "The son of
the slave girl of Zam`a is from me, so take him into your custody." So in the year of Conquest of
Mecca, Sa`d took him and said. (This is) my brother's son whom my brother has asked me to take into
my custody." `Abd bin Zam`a got up before him and said, (He is) my brother and the son of the slave
girl of my father, and was born on my father's bed." So they both submitted their case before Allah's
Apostle. Sa`d said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This boy is the son of my brother and he entrusted him to me."
`Abd bin Zam`a said, "This boy is my brother and the son of the slave girl of my father, and was born
on the bed of my father." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The boy is for you, O `Abd bin Zam`a!" Then Allah's
Apostle further said, "The child is for the owner of the bed, and the stone is for the adulterer," He then
said to Sauda bint Zam`a, "Veil (screen) yourself before him," when he saw the child's resemblance to
`Utba. The boy did not see her again till he met Allah.
