“I lay down
across the pillow and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his wife were
laying along it. The Prophet (ﷺ) slept until midnight, or a little
before, or a little after. The Prophet (ﷺ) woke up and began to rub
the sleep from his face with his hand. Then he recited the last ten
Verses of Surah Al ‘Imran. Then he got up and went to a water skin
that was hanging up and performed ablution from it, and he performed
ablution well, then he stood up and prayed.” ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas
said: “I stood up and did what he had done, then I went and stood
beside him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) put his right hand on my
head, took hold of my right ear and tweaked it. Then he prayed two
Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah,
then two
Rak’ah, then two Rak’ah, then he prayed Witr. Then he
lay down until
the Mu’adh-dhin came to him and he prayed two brief
Rak’ah, then he
went out to pray.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 561
Dimad came to Mecca and he belonged to the tribe of Azd Shanu'a, and he used to protect the person who was under the influence of charm. He heard the foolish people of Mecca say that Muhammad (ﷺ) was under the spell. Upon this he said: If 1 were to come across this man, Allah might cure him at my hand. He met him and said: Muhammad, I can protect (one) who is under the influence of charm, and Allah cures one whom He so desires at my hand. Do you desire (this)? Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, ask His help; and he whom Allah guides aright there is none to lead him astray, and he who is led astray there is none to guide him, and I bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah, He is One, having no partner with Him, and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. Now after this he (Dimad) said: Repeat these words of yours before me, and the messenger of Allah (ﷺ) repeated these to him thrice; and he said I have heard the words of soothsayers and the words of magicians, and the words of poets, but I have never heard such words as yours, and they reach the depth (of the ocean of eloquence) ; bring forth your hand so that I should take oath of fealty to you on Islam. So he took an oath of allegiance to him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: It (this allegiance of yours) is on behalf of your people too. He said: It is on behalf of my people too. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent an expedition and the flying column passed by his people. The leader of the flying column said to the detachment: Did you find anything from these people? One of the people said: I found a utensil for water. Upon this he (the commander) said: Return it, for he is one of the people of Dimad.
Sahih Muslim Book 7, Hadith 58
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to like sweets and also used to like honey, and whenever he finished the `Asr
prayer, he used to visit his wives and stay with them. Once he visited Hafsa and remained with her
longer than the period he used to stay, so I enquired about it. It was said to me, "A woman from her
tribe gave her a leather skin containing honey as a present, and she gave some of it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
to drink." I said, "By Allah, we will play a trick on him." So I mentioned the story to Sauda (the wife
of the Prophet) and said to her, "When he enters upon you, he will come near to you whereupon you
should say to him, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Have you eaten Maghafir?' He will say, 'No.' Then you say to
him, 'What is this bad smell? ' And it would be very hard on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that a bad smell should be
found on his body. He will say, 'Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.' Then you should say to him,
'Its bees must have sucked from the Al-`Urfut (a foul smelling flower).' I too, will tell him the same.
And you, O Saifya, say the same."
So when the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon Sauda (the following happened). Sauda said, "By Him except
Whom none has the right to be worshipped, I was about to say to him what you had told me to say
while he was still at the gate because of fear from you. But when Allah 's Apostle came near to me, I
said to him, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Have you eaten Maghafir?' He replied, 'No.' I said, 'What about this
smell?' He said, 'Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.' I said, 'Its bees must have sucked Al-`Urfut.' "
When he entered upon me, I told him the same as that, and when he entered upon Safiya, she too told
him the same. So when he visited Hafsa again, she said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I give you a
drink of it (honey)?" He said, "I have no desire for it." Sauda said, Subhan Allah! We have deprived
him of it (honey)." I said to her, "Be quiet!"
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 90, Hadith 19
(the wife of the Prophet) that while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was with her, she heard a voice of a man asking
permission to enter the house of Hafsa. `Aisha added: I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This man is asking
permission to enter your house." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I think he is so-and-so," naming the foster-uncle
of Hafsa. `Aisha said, "If so-and-so," naming her foster uncle, "were living, could he enter upon me?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, for foster suckling relations make all those things unlawful which are
unlawful through corresponding birth (blood) relations."
