When `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul died, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was called in order to offer the funeral
prayer for him. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up (to offer the prayer) I jumped towards him and said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Do you offer the prayer for Ibn Ubai although he said so-and-so on such-and-such-a
day?" I went on mentioning his sayings. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and said, "Keep away from me, O
`Umar!" But when I spoke too much to him, he said, "I have been given the choice, and I have chosen
(this) ; and if I knew that if I asked forgiveness for him more than seventy times, he would be for
given, I would ask it for more times than that." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer for him
and then left, but he did not stay long before the two Verses of Surat-Bara'a were revealed, i.e.:-- 'And
never (O Muhammad) pray for anyone of them that dies.... and died in a state of rebellion.' (9.84)
Later I was astonished at my daring to speak like that to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Allah and His Apostle
know best.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 193
“When they wanted to dig a
grave
for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), they sent for Abu ‘Ubaidah bin
Jarrah, who used to dig graves in the manner of the people of Makkah,
and they sent for Abu Talhah, who used to dig graves for the people
of
Al-Madinah, and he used to make a niche in the grave. They sent
two
messengers to both of them, and they said: ‘O Allah, choose
what is
best for Your Messenger.’ They found Abu Talhah and brought
him, but
they did not find Abu ‘Ubaidah. So he dug a grave with a
niche for the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). When they had finished
preparing him, on
Tuesday, he was placed on his bed in his house.
Then the people
entered upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in groups
and offered the
funeral prayer for him, and when they finished the
women entered, and
when they finished the children entered, and no
one led the people in
offering the funeral prayer for the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ). The
Muslims differed concerning the place where he
should be buried. Some
said that he should be buried in his mosque.
Others said that he
should be buried with his Companions. Then Abu
Bakr said: ‘I heard the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “No Prophet
ever passed away but he was
buried where he died.” So they lifted
up the bed of the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) on which he had died, and
dug the grave for him, then he
(ﷺ) was buried in the middle of
Tuesday night. ‘Ali bin Abu Talib,
Fadl bin ‘Abbas and his
brother Qutham, and Shuqran the freed slave of
the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) went down in his grave. Aws bin Khawli,
who was Abu Laila, said
to ‘Ali bin Abi Talib: ‘I adjure you by Allah!
Give us our share
of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).’ So ‘Ali said to
him: ‘Come
down.’ Shuqran, his freed slave, had taken a Qatifah which
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to wear. He buried it in his grave
and
said, ‘By Allah, no one will ever wear it after you.’ So it was
buried with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 6, Hadith 196
"Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by (my mother Um-Sulaim) he used to enter
her and greet her. Anas further said: Once the Prophet (ﷺ) way a
bridegroom during his marriage with Zainab, Um Sulaim said to me, "Let
us give a gift to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." I said to her, "Do it." So she
prepared Haisa (a sweet dish) made from dates, butter and dried
yoghurt and she sent it with me to him. I took it to him and he said,
"Put it down," and ordered me to call some men whom he named, and to
invite whomever I would meet. I did what he ordered me to do, and when
I returned, I found the house crowded with people and saw the Prophet (ﷺ)
keeping his hand over the Haisa and saying over it whatever Allah
wished (him to say). Then he called the men in batches of ten to eat
of it, and he said to them, "Mention the Name of Allah, and each man
should eat of the dish the nearest to him." When all of them had
finished their meals, some of them left and a few remained there
talking, over which I felt unhappy. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) went out towards
the dwelling places (of his wives) and I too, went out after him and
told him that those people had left. Then he returned and entered his
dwelling place and let the curtains fall while I was in (his) dwelling
place, and he was reciting the Verses:-- 'O you who believe! Enter not
the Prophet's house until leave is given you for a meal, (and then)
not (as early as) to what for its preparation. But when you are
invited, enter, and when you have taken your meals, disperse without
sitting for a talk. Verily such (behavior) annoys the Prophet; and he
would be shy of (asking) you (to go), but Allah is not shy of (telling
you) the Truth.' (33-53) Abu Uthman said: Anas said, "I served the
Prophet for ten years."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 67, Hadith 98
When Allah Apostle was in Ta'if (trying to conquer it), he said to his companions, "Tomorrow we will
return (to Medina), if Allah wills." Some of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We will not
leave till we conquer it." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Therefore, be ready to fight tomorrow." On the following
day, they (Muslims) fought fiercely (with the people of Ta'if) and suffered many wounds. Then
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Tomorrow we will return (to Medina), if Allah wills." His companions kept
quiet this time. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then smiled.
