Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Anas ibn
Malik that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, entered Makka, in the Year of Victory, wearing a helmet, and
when he took it off a man came to him and said, "Messenger of Allah,
Ibn Khatal is clinging to the covers of the Kaba,'' and the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Kill him."
Malik commented, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, was not in ihram at the time, and Allah knows
best."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 259
'Ubai bin Juraij said to `Abdullah Ben `Umar, "I see you doing four things which are not done by your
friends." Ibn `Umar said, "What are they, O Ibn Juraij?" He said, "I see that you do not touch except
the two Yemenite corners of the Ka`ba (while performing the Tawaf): and I see you wearing the
Sabtiyya shoes; and I see you dyeing (your hair) with Sufra; and I see that when you are in Mecca, the
people assume the state of Ihram on seeing the crescent (on the first day of Dhul-Hijja) while you do
not assume the state of Ihram till the Day of Tarwiya (8th Dhul Hijja)." `Abdullah bin `Umar said to
him, "As for the corners of the Ka`ba, I have not seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) touching except the two
Yemenite corners, As for the Sabtiyya shoes, I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) wearing leather shoes that had no
hair, and he used to perform the ablution while wearing them. Therefore, I like to wear such shoes. As
regards dyeing with Sufra, I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) dyeing his hair with it, so I like to dye (my hair) with
it. As regards the crescent (of Dhul-Hijja), I have not seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) assuming the state of Ihram
till his she-camel set out (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijja).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 77, Hadith 68
"While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting with us around him, a man came in, turned towards the Qiblah and prayed. When he had finished his prayer, he came and greeted the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the people with Salam. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: 'And also to you. Go and pray, for you have not prayed.' So he went and prayed, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) started watching him, and he (the man) did not know what was wrong with it. When he had finished the prayer, he came and greeted the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the people with salam. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: 'And also to you. Go and pray, for you have not prayed.' He repeated it two or three times, then the man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is wrong with my prayer?' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The prayer of any of you is not complete unless he performs wudu properly as enjoined by Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. So he should wash his face, his arms up to the elbows, and wipe his head, and (wash) his feet up to the ankles. Then he should magnify Allah (SWT) and praise Him and glorify Him.'" - (One of the narrators) Hammam said: "I heard him say: 'He should praise Allah and glorify Him and magnify Him." He said: "I heard both of them." -"He (the Prophet (ﷺ)) said: 'He should recite whatever is easy for him of the Quran that Allah has taught him and permitted him in it (the prayer). Then he should say the Takbir and bow until his joints settle and he is relaxed. Then he should say: 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him)' and stand up straight until his backbone is straight (and at ease). Then he should say Takbir and prostrate until he has placed his face firmly on the ground." "I heard him say: his forehead, until his joints settle and he is relaxed. Then he should say the Takbir and sit up until his backbone is straight (and at ease). Then he should prostrate until he has placed his face firmly on the ground and he is relaxed. If he does not do that then he has not completed his prayer."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 12, Hadith 108
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out along with a group of his companions towards `Ukaz Market. At that time
something intervened between the devils and the news of the Heaven, and flames were sent down
upon them, so the devils returned. Their fellow-devils said, "What is wrong with you? " They said,
"Something has intervened between us and the news of the Heaven, and fires (flames) have been shot
at us." Their fellow-devils said, "Nothing has intervened between you and the news of the Heaven, but
an important event has happened. Therefore, travel all over the world, east and west, and try to find
out what has happened." And so they set out and travelled all over the world, east and west, looking
for that thing which intervened between them and the news of the Heaven. Those of the devils who
had set out towards Tihama, went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at Nakhla (a place between Mecca and Taif)
while he was on his way to `Ukaz Market. (They met him) while he was offering the Fajr prayer with
his companions. When they heard the Holy Quran being recited (by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)), they listened to
it and said (to each other). This is the thing which has intervened between you and the news of the
Heavens." Then they returned to their people and said, "O our people! We have really heard a
wonderful recital (Quran). It gives guidance to the right, and we have believed therein. We shall not
join in worship, anybody with our Lord." (See 72.1-2) Then Allah revealed to His Prophet (Surat al-
Jinn):
'Say: It has been revealed to me that a group (3 to 9) of Jinns listened (to the Quran).' (72.1) The
statement of the Jinns was revealed to him .
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 441
Zurarah ibn Awfa said that Aisha was asked about the midnight prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
She said: He used to offer his night prayer in congregation and then return to his family (in his house) and pray four rak'ahs. Then he would go to his bed and sleep, but the water for his ablution was placed covered near his head and his tooth-stick was also kept there until Allah awakened him at night.
He then used the tooth-stick, performed ablution perfectly then came to the place of prayer and would pray eight rak'ahs, in which he would recite Surah al-Fatihah, and a surah from the Quran as Allah willed. He would not sit during any of them but sit after the eighth rak'ah, and would not utter the salutation, but recite (the Quran) during the ninth rak'ah. Then he would sit and supplicate as long as Allah willed, and beg Him and devote his attention to Him; He would utter the salutation once in such a loud voice that the inmates of the house were almost awakened by his loud salutation. He would then recite Surah al-Fatihah while sitting, bow while sitting, and then recite the Quran during the second rak'ah, and would bow and prostrate while sitting. He would supplicate Allah as long as He willed, then utter the salutation and turn away.
This amount of prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) continued till he put a weight. During that period he retrenched two rak'ahs from nine and began to pray six and seven rak'ahs standing and two rak'ahs sitting. This continued till he died.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 5, Hadith 97
"And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice." She said: "O son of my sister, this refers to a female orphan who is in the care of her guardian, and her wealth is joined to his, and he is attracted to her wealth and her beauty. So her guardian wants to marry her without being fair with regard to her dowry, and without giving her what someone else would give her. So they were forbidden to marry them unless they were fair to them and gave them the highest possible dowry that is customarily given, and they were commanded to marry other women of their choice."
'Urwah said: "'Aishah said: 'Then later on, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed concerning them: 'They ask your legal instruction concerning women, say: Allah instructs you about them, and about what is recited unto you in the Book concerning the orphan girls whom you give not the prescribed portions and yet whom you desire to marry.' 'Aishah said: 'What Allah, Most High, mentioned here that is recited in the Book is the first Verse in which it says: And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with orphan girls then marry (other) women of your choice.' 'Aishah said: 'What is referred to in the other Verse -and yet whom you desire to marry- is the desire of one of you not to marry orphan girl who is under his care if she is lacking in wealth and beauty. So they were forbidden to marry those orphan women to whose wealth they were attracted unless they were fair, because of their desire not to marry (those who were lacking in wealth and beauty.)'"
